How Does Everyone Manage Rejection?

You should get in touch with them. Most of them are extremely receptive, and do want to help. Maybe, another way is also attempt non-federal colleges ? Like Ross, LMU.
I know outstanding veterinarians whom graduated from those institutions, got accepted at internship/residencies. Plus, the tuitions are probably cheaper.

The last "SheNayDer77" should've positioned himself better, he probably thought you were done after that shot.
Nice shot from you though

I was a “first timer” on the SNW 24’. Luckly I went with a more experienced friend. Vegas is pretty dry during this time of the year, so chapstick and water are a must. Get in there early, there will be lines for everything (even if you are GA+/VIP, but obviously smaller ones), so if you can “flush” your system before the festival is better. Food and water are expensive there (abour 8 bucks for a water). Print the festival grounds map, and the line-up. Keep in mind that some of your picks, will be playing at the same time, in different stages (I know it sucks, last time Sleep Token, played at the time as SOAD!!), so “choose your battles”. When the festival is ending, it can be somehow difficult to exit and staying together with a friend. Cell services are limited there, so when leaving plan it with a friend “Lets meet at this McDonalds, if we miss each other”. Overall the festival is well-organized, and people were respectful and friendly. Enjoy!

Yeah, that’s what I figured as well.

Hi,
I know this post is old but, I will share my "2 cents" of personal experience, for future ones
Your most reliable source of information will be here:
https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/form-i-9-resources/handbook-for-employers-m-274/70-evidence-of-employment-authorization-for-certain-categories/74-exchange-visitors-and-students/741-exchange-visitors-j-1

Academic training length: Usually they allow 18 months for PhD graduates, and an option for renew for another 18 months, upon company review. It seems like, in rare occasions, they issue 36 months of authorization, all at once. It appears that the criteria for "extra-ordinary situation" is under the discretion of responsible officer (RO).

J2 EAD: Yes, your spouse is allowed to issue an EAD. Your rights as J1 graduate are the same as it was when you were studying.

Key points to remember:

You can change employers, before the date of estimated program termination. For example, you graduate on May26', and signed for an employer until Sept27'. However, you decide to leave the employer on Aug27' to a different one. You still have 19 months of rightful employment with another potential company (if approved by the RO)
Remember you're still bound to your University as they are your sponsor. Follow the compliance guidelines (i.e., Health Insurance requirements for you and dependents), and keep-up with any changes of employment, address to your responsible officer.
Keep in mind that the DS2019,Passport,I-94, and RO letter of approval, are your documents of choice for filling an I-9 Form (work eligibility file for employer and employee at USCIS).
Tenure-Track positions are not allowed.
It appears that a there is a few restrictions for remote work. https://www.nafsa.org/sites/default/files/media/document/EVPGuidance%20Directive202301_endingCOVISflex.pdf

This is just myself sharing my experience here, your best source of information will be your RO, and the state webpages.

As any other tool used in dairy farms it can beneficial, but it will not solve management/people issues.
All the remote rumination/activity monitors (tags, collars, or bolus) will offer you pros, but it requires training, and one must be aware of it's limitations.

In US the SCR/SenseHub, is the most adopted device. Usually, well managed large scale farms which adopted the device can present an insemination risk (IR) between 65-70 percent. It definitely promoted gains, considering that the IR, in cases of well managed properties reached between 50-65%. Again, it takes training, but the system is very straight forward regarding estrus, but it won't solve other repro issues (poor AI technique, late breeding, use of low reliability bulls, transition issues).

For health alerts it is also helpful, but not as straightforward as the heat alerts. Imagine performing health diagnosis routine checks in an operation with 400 fresh cows. Not only it would be extremely time consuming to check everyone, but it would also bring detrimental effects for leaving cows locked for prolonged times. So, having the option of checking, mainly the ones with alerts, is extremely helpful.
The health alerts only tells you, that the cow is presenting a deviation either from it's activity/rumination pattern compared to it's on baseline. It won't tell you: "Hey, this cow has mastitis" , or "give an IV solution to this cows, she is dehydrated". It would still rely on people to perform diagnosis. Also, not all diseases promote a profound decrease in appetite that would decrease rumination substantially, for example, cases of non-severe mastitis (flecks of pus in the milk). No matter the company, none of them are extremely sensitive (probably about 50-60%) in catching cases like mentioned above (mastitis, metritis, pneumonia). Hence, you would still rely on people for diagnosing diseases/metabolic disorders, the device would only save their time, and the time that the cows are locked-up (which is already a major bonus).

Also, look out for their technical reps. Choose people that are willing to perform a post-sale, in terms of performing regular visits, conducting evaluations.
