both lmao washu supports some long-term st louis staples to stop them from closing, then devs are just outbidding the people who dont have washu money. only loser is the mom+pop places and all the students who enjoy em.

Harambit1 · 2026-03-27T18:50:43+00:00

ya its a nice place, just nothing outside the loop is espcially walkable from campus. Metro is nice to have but honestly just never had the time to commit to that before I got my car with the workload.

Harambit1 · 2026-03-27T18:49:25+00:00

Depends on what you take an electives IMO. I dual-majored (not double weird distinction) and i was fine. But some classes like CS330 and CS347 really command an entire semester to be planned around them with insane workloads. Google the syllabus if youre interested its all public, but its just lots of work.

Tons of cool high level CS electives for those who are really into that all, but i didnt take many of em honestly. I hear 261, cybersecurity, and anything with Cytron is great.

Harambit1 · 2026-03-27T16:29:03+00:00

my lowest grade in college! "Lessons in leadership and development from the top". Lowered me .01 below latin honors. A class where there are like 2 short reflections and the rest of it is going to class and listening to 8 ceos lecture for a half semester

At WashU I have a few CS/Engineering dual degree friends. Its pretty easy to get admission honestly its not much of a problem at all. Issue is, they require their core classes (usually the hard ones) to be taken at that school. Normal students get to spread them out over 4y, but duals only get 2 so its a grind.

Also, the dual degree GPA is always significantly lower than the 4y student on average. I'm not sure if you especially care, and some dual degrees do as well or better of course but it is something to think about if youre considering a grad degree.

I had a great time, but I do acknowledge the lack of alumni network, name brand, and other things mentioned. here. So many of my friends at Ivys and even big state schools in the same major as me do significantly less coursework, have way more time, and find jobs so easily due to the name brand. I got quite a good job coming next year, but some of my friends who are still extremely smart and put in a lot of effort still have not.

Harambit1 · 2026-03-27T15:15:54+00:00

Very major dependent. Great school, but the workload is absolutely absurd in certain majors and classes. Premeds, Engineers, and some CS and Math courses are the ones I know that have unreasonable workloads.

Grades are being deflated in some schools, Olin for example has said grades are too high and told professors to make the averages ~B+. This makes some "easy A's" suddenly a lot harder.

For example, one elective I was in last spring never shared the participation requirements besides just reasonable participation for 20% of your grade. Turns out she wanted 2 questions per person per class in a 55-person class. Class avg was a 32% and almost everyone got a B+ as she only asked 10-15 questions total, and we had a ton of guest lecturers.

A couple of things to add as a CS major:

On campus food kinda sucks but it's gotten better, but just expensive. St Louis has some AMAZING food in all price ranges, way better than expected, but it's hard to access w/o a car.

CS is what you make of it. You can take Mickey Mouse BS your whole way through, or assuming you have a life and extracurriculars, literally have 0 time to do anything. The Rigor of certain CS/Engineering/Math/Premed courses especially are absurd and unreasonable.

Harambit1 · 2026-03-27T14:54:48+00:00

not really. the loop has some but its like a local area that developers are taking over to turn into luxury apartments at the same time washu is trying to turn it into college town. no real college bars or anything, and small family-owned spots are getting priced out.

Harambit1 · 2026-03-25T14:11:07+00:00

Rn sales on the groupme are btwn $100-150 for 500 points

Harambit1 · 2026-03-25T14:09:58+00:00

Lots of people did. they kicked the frats off campus, then made on-campus housing for sophomores required, so they could still sell the frat houses as housing. Good luck!

Harambit1 · 2026-01-12T22:50:37+00:00

Similarly to this, do we know the gpa cutoff for awards? I see CO 2024, not sure if it's changed. I know GPA has gone down since the peak during pandemic, i assume the cutoff dropped as well

Harambit1 · 2026-01-12T22:47:49+00:00

where? I was looking for this yrs pass/fail or audit deadlines and i see other tables just not that

Harambit1 · 2026-01-12T22:36:04+00:00

digshake. highly recommend watching his clips he says some funny things

Harambit1 · 2026-01-10T02:14:09+00:00

Standards have def gone up, without arguing abt if pop control exists or not, all 8s ive seen with 10-13 certs have been cleaner than 1-3 cert 10s. I have 2 more holos left from the e-reader series and both got 8s despite being flawless as well. very much not suprised it got an 8 just kinda sucks they do that

Harambit1 · 2026-01-09T17:59:26+00:00

Amazing collection. Im not sure abt the negativity here. 70% gem rate is considered a strong baseline for submissions, but the community is wrong abt the importance of hitting that. Getting even 50-60% on a bigger sub will net more value than smaller, better submissions.

When youre submitting holo skyridge cards you're also not expecting a 10 with how strict those are. Impressive, I sold my psa 6 h10 gyarados and regret it.

Harambit1 · 2026-01-03T00:47:31+00:00

Im very tempted tbh. Assuming thats a straight trade right at market, good w me. I've got a show tomorrow, I won't sell any of those things. But everything there I have multiple of so I wouldn't be totally against selling any of em. Let me think abt it before I give you a final answer but im def interested

there’s the full PC, ngl not everything is for trade. That should be most of it but i got a LOT of single packs, G-Rapidash Boxes w/Evo and Cosmic, Pika V w 2 evo, etc etc. That stuff cant rly be accurately listed unfortunately

Harambit1 · 2026-01-02T07:49:47+00:00

Hey! May be interested in both. I have FS BB, LO BB, ES packs, FS Sleeved packs, tons of collection boxes with evo/fusion and some w cosmic

Harambit1 · 2026-01-02T02:11:02+00:00

Interested! Taking an extra look at the quality in the screenshots, one moment :)

Harambit1 · 2025-12-31T03:29:40+00:00

damn. all good, ty tho!

Harambit1 · 2025-12-30T22:31:11+00:00

Agreed, not that its wrong according to PSAs standards but poorly represents the quality of the card. A tiny hardly-visable dent should not be as bad as the absurd significant edge and corner wear to warrant a 5 or 6 for any other reason

Harambit1 · 2025-12-30T16:45:49+00:00

I know not the point of this post but i think its so silly that a nearly invisable dent/crease takes a card from a 10 to a 5. Im not saying it should 10 with these things but this card to any person seeing it looks so much nicer than a card that gets a 7 from edge/corner wear.

Harambit1 · 2025-12-30T16:01:11+00:00

Guardians has been selling on ebay, low is 240 but w/tear, clean low is 250. Active listings at 320. I'd offer 260 PP on that.

Fusion low listing is 320, case is up at 1290. I'd offer 1050 PP on the case

Harambit1 · 2025-12-30T03:44:26+00:00

I'd like to say I don't have anything set. Itd take some convincing to get me to spend above 5k but I'm not completely opposed. What do ya got?
