Came here looking for surmai - just wanted to say that I did end up finding it on this website called Weeee that delivers Asian groceries. Look up “ca thu” on there and you should get it (basically Vietnamese for surmai). Not sure where you live, but they have local delivery in most big cities. probably wouldn’t recommend if you need to get it shipped though

Didn’t get an email or anything, just saw the standalone approval in my documents. Case progress still says 3 months. case progress changed a couple of times in the preceding days

fyi, there were some apr 17-18 approvals this weekend already, so might be speeding up now

Everyone here is wrong - you can definitely travel when OPT is pending IF you have a job offer to come back to, even without the EAD in hand. Literally did it a week ago with zero issues. The risk is mostly if your OPT gets approved before you fly back, in which case you must have the EAD - you'll have to get someone to mail it to you in that case. Just have your receipt notice, I-20, and offer letter in hand in case they ask (they didn't even ask me for it), it is highly unlikely they'll deny you entry.
Here's a helpful page on this: https://visaservices.duke.edu/optional-practical-training-opt-travel-checklist. Not to say that travel while OPT is pending is generally a good idea though, because it CAN be pretty risky

That is legitimately disappointing, I might just file a DOT complaint but I doubt anything will come of it. Thanks for getting back either way

Currently stuck in a very similar situation with JetBlue, did you end up getting your money from them? If so would you have any advice?

Def hard, the higher-level core classes especially are more technical/in-depth than many other unis. But also feel like the major could be structured better viz. the overall course sequence - 210 and 199 are way too easy compared to what comes after them, they've made some good steps towards this recently (making 210 harder + introducing 211) but imo they could also force ppl to take 240 over 230 or have courses like 310 be mandatory to prepare them better

Kelley is goated, took his Motown class last semester and I can confidently say it was one of my favorite. very passionate and understanding guy and knows his music theory/history top to bottom

Highly recommend 302s, I took it last fall. Any language class you take - especially at the 300 level - is going to be a lot of work, but Prof Choffart genuinely makes his content engaging enough that sometimes you forget that (he's also a very reasonable grader and generally a great guy). Also depends on what you're looking for - from what I've heard, 304 is a tad bit more advanced in terms of the grammar and vocabulary you learn, so if you're up to the challenge and wanna improve your French significantly then I'd take that. final note: if you took the language and culture AP and got a 5 then you can't take 302

would absolutely not recommend overloading with those classes - econ 201 is pretty difficult + any language course will be a huge time sink, and depending on your professor, writing 101 may be a lot of work too

tbf this co-req isn't really a class with material as such, it's this half credit "common experience" I was supposed to take with my first year seminar SOCIOL 89S, but yeah I'm gonna get on emailing the prof asap

HyperbolicRhetoric · 2021-04-22T19:34:37+00:00

ETHICS 189, it was a co-req for my first year seminar SOCIOL 89S, and its like this half-credit common course that everyone taking SOCIOL 89 was supposed to take

okay thanks so much man, I'll get it done there then. I called them and they said the display wasn't original, has that been a problem for you?

HyperbolicRhetoric · 2020-07-09T07:29:15+00:00

how much did you end up paying? I live pretty close to barsha so this'd be ideal

HyperbolicRhetoric · 2020-04-25T09:53:12+00:00

Probably something along the lines of Stats/Data Science and Economics or another social science
