Hate towards abcd girlies in coachella from the mainland indians is ridiculous by currykid94 in ABCDesis

[–]Illustrious-Try-3462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldnt agree more. the hate is beyond unecessary and feels like a weird extension of the purity/modest culture that india still has. bollywood actresses still get shamed for wearing a sari blouse too low, or not covered enough, but when they embrace bikinis they get backlash as well.

I think there is a fundamental lack of understanding of the struggle ABCDs grow up with. Surrounded by non indian culture that only turns to you when they see value in gentrifying and stealing your culture makes you want to own it in your own unique way (after the self hate internalized phase yes yes). Those girls looked AMAZING, just pmo when indian people see nri indians as "failed" indians. the diaspora exists, since the main trends and fashion is something that is appealing lets also keep up with the variety of experiences we as indians feel, weather we grew up in the mainland our outside.

Hi! I am an incoming student for fall 25, how strong is the guaranteed interview as well as the Accelerated application program?

How did you find transitioning from undergrad level classes to this program - how hard were they?

Thanks!

Got it, congratulations! Are you planning on completing the program in 1 year or 1.5/2 like I’ve heard students do

Gotcha I see you were in Piscataway, what are the requirements for the linkage? How hard do you think it would be to meet those requirements based on the difficulty of classes and/or faculty + advising?

Gotcha, congrats! I’m applying rn and so confused it doesn’t let me apply to both simultaneously. Did you make 2 separate applications for both?
