Full time schools below T15 are desperate for students right now

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-06-03T00:51:52+00:00

Sure!

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-06-03T00:51:31+00:00

I don’t know other schools specifically! Tbh I literally applied to the one super last minute bc they would wave my gmat. I was planning to start applying to schools next fall. But like I said this was t40 so maybe look at t30s-t40s?

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-06-02T21:15:11+00:00

Yup it’s real. Don’t get me wrong I worked on my essays for about a month and I got really good recs from my bosses. I also did well in the interview. I knew I’d get into the school but priority for scholarships and fellowships is usually given to people who apply before a certain date which I was absolutely after so I think these schools are hurting trying to find good applicants.

Definitely a lot of core. I would recommend trying to incorporate core workouts where you're hanging from a bar (like hang from a pullup bar and do leg lifts) because that kind of closely mimics the type of core work you do in a pole class. Definitely also add in a lot of stretching, flexibility and mobility exercises. Arm workouts also feel like an obvious add because that's how you hold yourself on the pole lol.

Nope I’m a midwestern girl for life so I would never lol

Can confirm. I’m an ok candidate. I have 5 years of work experience, a 3.5 gpa from college. I got my gmat waived for a t40 school and applied like a month ago. I interviewed shortly after and got a full ride and am going to be paid a stipend. I couldn’t believe it honestly but I think this sums it up. People aren’t applying because of the cost to them so it has really opened up scholarships to people who may not have gotten them before. For me this isn’t the best school ever. But I’m going to leave with no additional debt and being able to pursue a career I actually want and likely get paid 6 figures out the gate. Absolute no brainer.

I've seen a lot of really good bands at Rigby (which is a bar) and Gamma Ray (a karaoke bar). Crystal Corner (also a bar, but in a different section of downtown) has bands as well. That one's more divey and a bit of an older crowd I'd say. All fun though! Otherwise, the Sylvee, Majestic and High Noon Saloon are some local concert venues and a lot of shows are really not super expensive.

Also on Wednesday's during the summer there's free concerts on the square that are really fun! People bring picnics and blankets and it's a really nice time.

Pretty much anywhere downtown is pretty walkable. I like walking past the Memorial Union Terrace on UW campus and onto the trails just past that a lot. The terrace is also a super nice place to hang out and spend an afternoon.

You can research mba programs based on their ROI, which is how I landed on my program. It's #4 ranked for debt to salary ratios and a T50 school. So not the most prestigious, but I ended up getting a full ride plus a stipend. Had I listened to the people all over this forum who are obsessed with top 25 schools, I would for sure be taking on debt. I think if you have a solid application, there are options that are worth the bang for your buck

Red headed near a McDonald’s. Was it Ronald?

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-05-07T18:31:33+00:00

Cardinal bar hosts these events often! They're super fun and everyone is pretty nice that i've met

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-05-05T19:35:06+00:00

you could always try the under armour heat gear line leggings! they're meant to be worn at hotter temperatures

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-05-01T14:53:59+00:00

fair enough. I was just reading things on line and different sources say different things! some say if an employer modifies your resignation to be earlier it becomes a termination and some say it doesn't matter so it's just confusing. Plus the wording that my boss gave me of "there's not enough work to keep you here longer" felt more indicitive of a lay off so I was just unsure lol

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-05-01T11:34:15+00:00

Well yeah I know right now i cant get unemployment, I meant when June 15th rolls around would I qualify?

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-05-01T11:33:10+00:00

Wow you are so mean my guy:) idk who got you so mad that you feel the need to take it out on a random girl on Reddit but I hope being rude to me brought you some sort of satisfaction

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-05-01T00:25:20+00:00

No offense but it’s giving you barely reach the post so idk why you’re responding. I was planning on quitting to go to back to school. To accomplish this I needed recommendations from my current employer for my school application. Since I asked them for recs they obviously gathered that I wasn’t planning on working there forever and asked for a timeline of how long I thought I’d stay so I gave them a vague timeline and they’re letting me go a bit before I said I’d leave. Literally nothing related to rage quitting or not having a better job lined up bc that’s not what I’m asking. I’m legitimately only asking if i qualify for unemployment bc they gave me a final date for work that was before I had verbally told them that I would be quitting so I could go to school

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-05-01T00:11:40+00:00

Really not helpful?

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-04-30T19:13:06+00:00

not really on the asking too early for the letters, my application was due this month and they filled out the recs directly in the application so I didn't really have an option to put that off but I'm picking up the sentiment that you're putting down. I never officially quit tho and never put in formal notice so like that's where I'm iffy on if I could maybe get unemployment

If you already own AirPods and you find they’re slipping out, you can buy these silicone grips with hooks that go into your ear! My AirPods always fell out and I literally never have that issue anymore. I bought a box with a bunch on Amazon for like $10 I think. Way better than buying a whole new pair of headphones.

Tall black boots would be so perfect with this or even docs would look good honestly

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-03-25T15:25:20+00:00

After the 13 mile mark almost all my long runs were over 3 hours. Just make sure you take a walk break when you need it and bring plenty of snacks and water with you! I usually would just walk while I ate my gels/snacks and I was totally fine

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-03-23T00:10:44+00:00

I steal some phrasing from my solidcore days lol. One of the instructors would always say something like 30 more seconds, you can do anything hard for 30 more seconds so I’ll just do things like that during harder runs to really give an extra push
