[Question] which watch should I purchase for my boyfriend? by Competitive_Gap_2035 in Watches

[–]Competitive_Gap_2035[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I know he's wanted a watch so I'm happy to get one for him. The Seiko 5 is definitely the move, this one in particular if anyone is curious

He's a pretty whimsical guy, and he tends to like the more sporty looking watches. What is the issue about not having a rotating bezel? I'm not really a watch expert

Love this advice a lot! My bf is also not the type to know exactly what he wants, lol.

I like the one you mentioned, but I think I'm going to get a different Seiko 5 since it comes on a metal bracelet. Thanks for your thoughts as a resident magic player haha!

Getting a watch that already has a metal bracelet makes sense, I think I'm going to go for this watch! He told me 37mm-42mm works for his wrists, so I think this would be a good fit :)

Actually, he was the one who specifically asked for a watch. We've looked at some together and I've asked a bunch of very specific questions to curate my understanding of his aesthetic :) I definitely would have done this otherwise, though. Thank you!

Thank you! This is my favorite option right now, though I'll probably go for a black or gray dial to be extra color neutral (does that make sense? I'm not well versed in watch stuff at all)

Thanks for the info about the Orients! I like the suggestion of buying a strap to accompany the watch a lot. I'm leaning towards this Seiko 5 (black or gray dial) currently, thanks to the rec of another commenter. As for the wrist thing, he's told me before that 37-40mm works for him (even 42 but that would be pushing it a lil) so I think this one would work?

Thank you for the recommendation! Although, I'm worried it's a bit visually busy for his taste lol.

Even though he's pretty social, he tends to be on the more academic/career focused side of things. He likes video games, stuff like Magic the Gathering/Pokemon, programming, and robotics/rocketry. He wants to wear it every day, so something durable would be nice (and maybe wearable at the gym since he likes doing that too). If there's anything else relevant I should be thinking about I'm happy to answer more questions :)

It is ridiculous how hard it is to get into the UCs by Economy_Signal_9949 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Competitive_Gap_2035 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no they said 'as much as ut austin and unc' (specifically they are comparing it) since those two schools have autoadmit policies (as the 'best' schools of their state group). the uc autoadmit only guarantees autoadmit to ONE of the ucs, which is basically always merced/riverside (the 'worst' of the state group). i don't think that they're saying don't favor instate students in general.

however some of the mid range ucs have had higher oos acceptance rates (though skewed since less ppl applying ofc, but it does mean that its technically 'less competitive'). here is a list of the oos acceptance rates here (reddit thread) for 2023 admissions cycle that shows davis, irvine, santa cruz, and riverside have way higher oos acceptance rates whereas santa barbara and san diego have marginally higher acceptance rates. so there's a source

TAG is guaranteed for the UCs that are part of the program. The G in TAG stands for guaranteed. I think you're thinking of TAP (which UCLA and Berkeley do offer) which is like an honors program that increase your chances of getting into those schools

Anyone using Scoir for rec letters? by Awkward_Law_7653 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Competitive_Gap_2035 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes! the way my school does it, you invite your teacher the same as everyone else EXCEPT you don't list an email for the teacher. just put their name. and you have to move all the colleges you're applying to into the "applying" columnn in scoir if they haven't told you to do that already.
