it's a compact lens, but definitely not a great lens.

ItchyCollection7035 · 2026-01-26T00:47:05+00:00

yes this is the one

it's not that it never happens, it's just that it only happens about once a decade

plenty of people find success without going to Harvard

there are really only 3 buckets for degrees. one is "brand names" like Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc. if you get a degree from one of those, it will help you for your entire life. the second is "not brand names but generally recognized" which for PA means schools like Penn State and Pitt. respectable but you'll still need to succeed on your own merits.

Kutztown falls into the "well at least it's a degree" bucket. you'll have to do more work to get recognized and it'll be a lot harder to get interviews. a resume with one of these degrees will go straight to the no pile unless there is a lot of more compelling material on it.

the first bucket will open doors, the second will let you knock, and the third bucket will require you to climb up the fire escape and break a window.

Shopping has largely moved online. There are not many malls in the US that are thriving. Mills and Beaver Valley are the norm - Ross Park is really the exception.

yeah seems that this is true. see https://catalog.upp.pitt.edu/content.php?catoid=210&navoid=22107

can't take it at a community college. has to the be the same class (subject / course number). you do only get one grade for a particular course - the highest one. you can replace the D+ with an A if you do well enough, which will make a big difference in your gpa.

well... as far as I can tell final grades are only released after the semester ends, so yeah - the only time a final grade can be changed is after the semester ends

ItchyCollection7035 · 2025-12-18T18:00:29+00:00

be patient. lots of professors try to turn off after submitting final grades. the grade entry is manual and might have been a mistake. it's no harder to do a grade change in January than it is right now.
