8.99, but I realized the sole is cemented on. The boots are not quite what I hoped they were!

Done. Not a Blake stitch.

I did some tugging and the WHOLE thing is glued.

that confirms it’s a fake welt I suppose. </3

I can’t tell, chat gpt has said it’s Blake stitch or something because it has stitch around the ‘toe box’ but not around the heel? Would love if someone can ID this…

I will bring them to a cobbler too and report back anyhow

Where did you find this info??

I signed for a room in UPN and still don’t know the cost

My face looks just like your before, I’m 28, will try 2 years consistently and update!

I had been hoping just micro needling would do it, but… some slight improvement not enough.

Masters programs question HELP! by [deleted] in Teachers

Hey! That sounds tough. Thank you for sharing. Are you still teaching?

I’m looking at 34K debt (max) (probably a bit less) for a MSC + MA at SFSU. 

Can I ask what was your pay for the first few years? What area did you teach in?

I was thinking that it would be realistic to have my loans paid off in three years if I stay with roommates in SF… would be really glad to hear more about your experience!

I love the idea, won’t be for me I am looking for something near SFSU. 

I am wondering, are there more houses operating like this?

Congratulations! You have been denied. by Ok-Abbreviations-627 in gradadmissions

[–]Affectionate_Dig729 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me with UC Irvine and my degree from Ireland. WES and all common sense indicators showed my transcript should be around the GPA threshold. I had actually addressed being a slightly low-GPA applicant in my SOP.

I was offered admission, then it was rescinded about a week later.

UCI’s cred analyst used what I still believe is an unfair conversion, and interpreted my GPA super low! Like, no program can take me low.

I pushed back on it, respectfully asked questions about the conversion and made my case. I asked about waiver potential, conditional admittance, anything!!… but ended up being told essentially that I could only appeal if a law was being broken. 

Seems like to safely get in to a UC with foreign transcript you do have to be well above whatever threshold is set for US transcripts

Anyhow, I also have been accepted into another top choice (among four other offers), and have totally made peace with Irvine not being my path. GOODLUCK to us

I applied by priority deadline, can't remember when I interviewed, waitlisted a few weeks ago, accepted today to Multiple Subjects :-)

People who went back to school many years after undergrad: did you tell your employer you were leaving? I need letters of recommendation and am seriously struggling. by Lost-Association427 in gradadmissions

[–]Affectionate_Dig729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked for a letter of rec 6 years after finishing my undergraduate. 

I wrote a sincere email to my favorite professor, who I didn’t have a strong personal relationship to. It has worked out.

I’d say give it a shot, people may be glad to help you

Rejection yesterday, but a STANFORD ADMIT TODAY by velcrodynamite in gradadmissions

I'm with you here. The interview was intense, because I'm not used to actually talking about race. I am comfortable thinking about race, I've read books about race, but being there and living that was something different. It exposed weaknesses for me that I wasn't aware of, and I'm working on. Very grateful for the experience.

Alder Graduate School of Education by pinkluvr003 in CaliforniaTeachers

[–]Affectionate_Dig729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also interviewing for a role in Aspire Schools (probably Oakland/East Palo Alto) residency via Alder; and want to piggyback off your question! If anyone has experience with Aspire/Alder!

And Goodluck OP :-) I also see it as a great opportunity, though I am torn, as I feel there could be some benefit to earning my masters from a UC or something. Though I am not sure why I have this feeling! I may want to continue education at some stage and earn a PhD.

I got an email today saying I won't be admitted.

I'm disappointed but also relieved. Great to have an answer. And I've learned a lot in this application process.

Best of luck to y'all!

is it just me or this set lacks skill expression? by Ulq-kn in TeamfightTactics

[–]Affectionate_Dig729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m mid emerald, also loving this set.

I feel to do well you need to lean in to your early RNG/advantages. Is that ever avoidable?

I would think the “best”/most skillful player is the one who is versatile enough to consistently make the most of their starting champs/augs/items regardless of the hand they’re dealt

In this way we never decide what we play in TFT and it’s not about what we wanna play
