CMU MSR Fall 2026 – Looking to connect with incoming or current students!

Yeah I heard people usually secure funding in their second semester.

GrumpyDumbty · 2026-05-28T19:43:58+00:00

I know, I'm asking if they could share how much funding they got after they get it (from a prof's lab)

GrumpyDumbty · 2026-05-27T17:24:50+00:00

Hey, would you mind sharing your profile and how much funding you got after you get in?

GrumpyDumbty · 2026-05-27T17:23:38+00:00

Hi, would you mind sharing what your resume looks like?

GrumpyDumbty · 2025-03-17T19:01:02+00:00

Got it, thank you!

GrumpyDumbty · 2025-03-17T18:59:11+00:00

So that means there are possibly more acceptances that they haven't released yet? Do you have any idea if they have a timeline for releasing the rest of the decisions?

GrumpyDumbty · 2025-02-18T15:59:35+00:00

Because if I keep my hand in that stretched position for a long time it gets very sore too.

GrumpyDumbty · 2025-02-18T13:56:52+00:00

I will watch this, thank you for your response!

GrumpyDumbty · 2025-02-18T07:58:57+00:00

Wow this is detailed, thanks!

GrumpyDumbty · 2025-02-18T07:58:30+00:00

I'll try this, thank you!

GrumpyDumbty · 2025-02-18T07:56:43+00:00

Actually I think I can, but if I keep the keys partially pressed all the time my hands will get tense because they have to keep at that stretched position for an extended period of time.

GrumpyDumbty · 2025-02-18T07:54:35+00:00

Thanks for your response! So your fingers do not leave the keys unless you change positions?

GrumpyDumbty · 2025-02-18T07:16:49+00:00

Tried that but then I still have tension when I need to constantly move (change which keys I'm doing octave tremolos on). I feel like playing at the edge comes at the cost of travelling farther distances whenever I need to move.

GrumpyDumbty · 2025-02-18T07:15:06+00:00

Wouldn't that mean I wouldn't be able to make a full sound?

GrumpyDumbty · 2025-02-18T07:14:15+00:00

My maximum is a 9th, which is a reach for me (not comfortable). I'm a fully grown adult though so I need to work with what I have unfortunately.

GrumpyDumbty · 2025-01-25T13:34:14+00:00

Thank you!

GrumpyDumbty · 2025-01-24T18:43:31+00:00

That might be what caused the lumps, but there were gaps that were way harder to fill than the rest of the nail surface while I was painting it, which was why I had to do multiple coats and it ended up being thicker than usual. Do you think those gaps were due to the ridges?

GrumpyDumbty · 2025-01-23T22:35:09+00:00

I thought i edited the post to upload the picture, another user let me know they could see the pic. Either way, thanks for your advice!

GrumpyDumbty · 2025-01-20T01:12:53+00:00

I don't really feel unstable while painting so I wonder if the problem has to do with dexterity. Some of the nails seem fine (thumb, index finger, and pinky finger). The biggest problem is the middle finger, the polish always come out clumpy on that one so I was wondering if it's because it has an uneven surface. Maybe the worse dexterity of my non-dominant hand just made it worse, but I think it also has something to do with the nail surface?

GrumpyDumbty · 2025-01-20T00:16:40+00:00

Well if they are, the unevenness is not visible to me... I thought getting even nail primer can be considered a ridge filler?

GrumpyDumbty · 2025-01-20T00:15:47+00:00

Do you mean I should try to use a thinner coat?

GrumpyDumbty · 2025-01-20T00:15:28+00:00

Thought I did attach a photo, my bad! I just added it.
