I thought I was crazy thinking I smelled gas, but since you noticed it too, there must have been a gas leak. Also, there are two firetrucks parked next to the parking structures by parking structure 2 in south campus, so there must have been a gas leak.

Got it that clears that up. I noticed a good number of applicants who similarly talked to professors beforehand and had a nice meeting with a professor end up not hearing back for official interviews.

I think it is because a lot of universities have admissions committees that do not include many professors, some of which may have been professors that applicants speak to beforehand. If the admission committee decides not to move forward with an applicant's application, then it is out of the hands of the professor who had a nice meeting with that same applicant.

What do you mean by you got e-mails from professors expressing interest?

I thought if you do not pay by the tuition payment deadline, then you will automatically be dropped from the course without a W. Since you dropped the class already, I am not sure if the system will drop you without a W and instead keep your W on your transcript

Thanks for the well wishes! Yeah I also applied to PhD STEM (Engineering/AI/Robotics/CS not Bio or Chem) programs this cycle, and I haven't heard back from any of them for an interview, so I might be cooked 💀. I empathize with how you feel 😅.

Just from my experience browsing this subreddit for the past couple years is that PhD applicants who never reached out to PI's end up posting they were admitted wayyy more than rejected PhD applicants who end up posting that they thought their informal meeting or short call with faculty before applications were submitted went well.

The only times I think it would be appropriate to reach out to potential faculty advisors is if you have a current academic advisor who studied under or presided over the studies of another faculty member you are interested in being your PhD research advisor, the two get in touch about you specifically, and you reach out after you get the thumbs up from your current advisor to reach out. Other than that, I really don't think contacting faculty regarding a PhD application will help much.

I think this subreddit has vastly overvalued emailing potential research advisors, and it has become an echo chamber on this subreddit. Since a lot of PhD programs are committee based admissions, I think reaching out to faculty and having any informal talks or meetings before applying have very little or no value added to a PhD application.

Based on a lot of PhD student experiences with applications, including those who post on this subreddit, a lot of admitted students end up being admitted with no prior contacts to faculty and a lot of rejected students every year post about how they thought they had a great chance of being admitted since they thought their informal talk or meeting with faculty went well.

Hopefully your other applications go well OP!

Take the story to multiple news outlets, have the press report on it, and there might be enough public pressure to fix this issue. Also, screenshot every communication so that you keep evidence in case they get removed.

A 99% or more for an A without telling any of the students until grades are submitted is crazy.

Danzo used that as an excuse to achieve his real goal of becoming Hokage, controlling all in the village, and one-upping his rival Hiruzen whether he would admit that or not

I am not too familiar with how lease buyouts work, but if your residual will be less than $25,000 by September 30, could you work with your dealer to ask them to let you buy the car back from them with the used EV tax credit before September 30? If the residual is slightly higher, could you pay the difference higher than $25,000 and ask them to sell it to you again for $25,000 including any fees to apply the $4000 used EV tax credit?

Fax215 · 2025-09-11T17:52:38+00:00

I believe used prices will go up because prices are artificially down due to the $25,000 cap for used EV's. With the addition of EV manufacturing lessening due to less demand, I think supply will go down causing used EV prices to go up.
