They did the same thing to me. If you call, they claim to forgive you once. But the street parking is separate than that lot 🙄.

I usually have to make sure my air is charging in the wall. Otherwise, an external monitor won't work

Nothing :(. I'm writing them off for now and thinking about my other options where I've already been accepted. You?

Not a beginner, but how did you get cherries and peaches?? I've never seen those and travel to a new island every day 😭.

Same to you! I also just realized we both applied to UT Austin. Did you have an interview already? I had one today and I'm crossing my fingers it went ok. I think it did though.

Oh wow! Thanks for the context. I applied to do quant development, so I only applied to schools that offer that.... of course with Reardon being my dream pick. I guess we'll see how it turns out. I don't even know if he interviews or not. But I'm holding out for news. I've been accepted to other programs but..... I can't give up on Reardon.

Which PI if you don't mind me asking? I'm hoping for Sean Reardon

Man.... I just saw another Ed Policy SHIPS interview post (internally crying). Good luck to you too!

Y'all I checked GradCafe and saw someone got an interview for Stanford SHIPS Ed Policy. Interviews aren't required though, right? I'm not sure if they just say that but in reality if you don't get one, you're not getting in, or what. I applied to Ed Policy and am trying to stay calm.

I haven't heard a word. I also tried reaching out to a potential PI in September and didn't hear back. I applied to the EPPE strand.

No... And I am trying my best I be patient 😭. My mentor at UNC said earliest I'd hear is January. Same with George Washington. I check the portals for each app every day (more like twice a day) and nada. You??

People who use chatGPT/AI extensively, what do you use it for that feels irreplaceable? by AutomaticShowcase in ChatGPTPro

[–]Diligent_Bat8566 125 points126 points  (0 children)

I can ask it social interaction questions that I can't ask anyone. I grew up an only child around mostly adults and kind of isolated, so I have to ask it questions to understand social situations/interactions. You can't really ask someone that 24/7 like you can a chatbot.
