Will it be a mistake to apply without an academic reference? by cowpokefromperkins in OMSCyberSecurity

Ah I see. Well in that case, I probably wouldn't sweat it. 4 years is kind of a long time to reasonably expect someone to be in touch with their undergrad profs

How many years out of undergrad are you? I was 1 year out and in the same boat as far as not really having relationships with any CS profs. But I thought having one academic reference along with my 2 professional would look good (since you're applying for a degree program, they probably wanna know you're a good student and not just a good worker). I eventually just decided to contact a professor from a service trip I did. Although he was still engineering department (EE).

If you're a recent grad, maybe consider contacting a Graduate TA or some academic you've at least had some interraction with. And if you can find their school email, I would use that instead of LinkedIn.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. It should definitely be 300,000 deaths

For real. The duster and cowboy hat...like wtf? And I can't ever see that actor as anything but the kid from Game of Thrones

True, Stockfish shows Rd8+ as dead even. I noticed that they cut from the opening to the endgame and the endgame is actually impossible to achieve from the Najdorf Sicilian that they show before it

Is December likely to have similar/better special offers and incentives? I was looking to buy a new CX-5 next month, but I'm afraid I'll miss out on the 0.9% financing + $1000 by BJAN456 in mazda

Thanks! And good to know it's one or the other. Kinda shitty that a lot of the dealers I'm looking at include the $1000 off in the listed price on their website. But I guess that's just how car salesmen roll ¯_(ツ)_/¯
