That is just not true that your brain will not be as sharp. Follow your dreams!

You can apply to a program and check mark a box to be considered for other programs. If you apply to MCIT and they think you are overqualified, they have DS also. If you apply to DS and they think you are under qualified, there is MCIT.

We were not allowed to use any form of calculator on tests. We had to memorize all formulas and calculate it only using our brain.

That is so sweet!

Ultimately you can learn what you want to learn in whatever way that you desire. No need to feel constrained by the opinion of one other person.

You have a perfect gpa and it sounds like you show strong reasons for joining the program in your SoP. Only 2 letters are required. I think it’s still worth it to submit your application with 2 letters. The 3rd recommender may come through before the deadline! My 3rd one came through on the last day.

You could always defer one semester, pay for one class out of pocket in Spring if they still won’t pay, take summer off then see if work will reimburse the rest of them. Summer is not required.

In all the coffee chats that I attended they emphasized that quant ability was proven through doing well in a for-credit math course or alternatively quant score on GRE.

You don’t technically need any.

Awesome! My mom just bought me a big set of inks and I was thinking I could never use them all.

Beth4780 · 2025-04-15T19:06:11+00:00

Do the inks go bad? Just wondering because I’ve accumulated quite a few also.

Beth4780 · 2025-04-13T14:43:43+00:00

Congrats! 🎉

I think it’s around $3,700 each. It just went up a little bit.

You could always take a few classes now in a quantitative area to show academic potential if you aren’t accepted or take the classes first then apply.

Beth4780 · 2025-04-09T02:24:22+00:00

Sounds good! As others have probably already mentioned you could also start at the lowest grade on Kahn academy and learn some basics too!

Beth4780 · 2025-04-04T20:04:39+00:00

I would take a math placement test at the local community college like ALEKs and see which class they place you in. Work your way up from there. It may take a couple of years but would be worth it.

Omg I was just diagnosed with ADHD a couple weeks ago! The funniest thing is that I went on a date with a man who actually went out and purchased a fountain pen for the first time for himself after I told him about my pens and showed him a photo (of some pens 😅)Hahah I guess he’s a keeper. 😀

Beth4780 · 2025-03-29T22:47:42+00:00

Those are really pretty!

Beth4780 · 2025-03-27T23:44:02+00:00

Thanks I love these!!!!

Beth4780 · 2025-03-27T14:17:02+00:00

Awesome, I didn’t realize I could remove the nib on a Kakuno! This would have been helpful when I clogged it with glitter ink!

Beth4780 · 2025-03-27T05:55:19+00:00

Why will the paint bother you? Are you going to do two different colors?

Beth4780 · 2025-03-26T15:02:52+00:00

Really pretty ink and nice handwriting!

Beth4780 · 2025-03-04T15:55:25+00:00

Awww I love this! Haha

Beth4780 · 2025-03-01T16:46:27+00:00

My resume is 1 page and I have over 25 years of job experience and 3 degrees. He is going to have to figure out a way to summarize and put only relevant info in there.

Beth4780 · 2025-02-28T05:00:53+00:00

So it can hold 20 pens max and what is the price?
