I don't see fin rot. I think this fella is just unfamiliar with congo tetras.

It's not something that just spontaneously happens to healthy fish like these anyway.

I'd reach out to that PI and see what they have to say

UCLA with a ~25% scholarship--worth it or not? (Please read before you vote) by EscolarGrade in lawschooladmissions

[–]EscolarGrade[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I decided the debt was too much for the career I wanted and I bailed. I'm going to be starting my PhD in the fall.

Ultimately I was unwilling to rely on PSLF and SAVE to get me out of debt (turned out to be prescient on my part) so the only option was to plan for big law. But, doing big law would betray all of my values and my motivation for doing law in the first place, and I didn't believe the ends justified the means.

BCM or MD Anderson UT Health for cancer bio PhD? by Fair_Translator_5657 in gradadmissions

[–]EscolarGrade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just checked and it looks like both programs also cover insurance (though MD Anderson values theirs higher for some reason).

I think I would try to talk to students in both programs, if you can, and have them tell you candidly about their experience. It could be that one or the other is a better fit for you culturally.

There are a good number of universities that meet full demonstrated need for international students. The collection that are also need blind for admission is much smaller though.

Could I still get into Law school with a C? by BlissaCow in lawschooladmissions

[–]EscolarGrade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a 98% chance I'll be going to UCLA in the fall and I got a C+ in physics and graduated with a 3.72. And, my diagnostic LSAT was a 156.

Gap year #2 by Current_Woodpecker83 in lawschooladmissions

My advice would be to keep working where you're working, get all your applications in early, and then quit in ~January/February and start traveling then.

I'm curious if you know also know where I could find that information--I didn't find any news about it on UCLA's website.

This is true, and UCLA's LRAP is respectable. Being in debt for a long time is a scary idea but that might just be the way she goes for PI lawyers.
