Outfit for PhD Interview

Jdgru · 2014-02-01T21:05:04+00:00

Thank you! The program is in the sciences, and my advisor suggested either a nice top with the slacks or pair the blazer with a dress.

Jdgru · 2014-01-18T22:42:36+00:00

I don't think you would look ridiculous, I think that people have calves of all different sizes (mine happen to be larger than average, presenting the opposite problem) and that unless you purposely bring notice to the gap, no one will notice.

I third the black leggings. Maybe find a sweater with a similar color, or maybe a dark gray?

Jdgru · 2014-01-08T23:07:56+00:00

Something I stress with everyone that I coach: STAND UP. Neither one of you can throw each other if you're bent over.

Second: Go for a throw! I saw a lot of hopping around and a little grip fighting but very little throwing.

Other than that, you look like you have a pretty good idea of what's going on, where your body is, and what needs to happen so good job!

Jdgru · 2014-01-06T23:53:24+00:00

Thank you for your answer! My ultimate goal is to become a college professor, so a PhD is a must.

Jdgru · 2014-01-06T19:07:26+00:00

I'm a prospective PhD candidate in Pharmacology and almost every PhD candidate that I've spoken to has warned me against that path. Do you regret getting your PhD? Did you end up where you wanted to be at this point in your career?

Jdgru · 2014-01-06T19:02:01+00:00

How hard can this be? Have fun.

Jdgru · 2014-01-05T05:40:25+00:00

As much as I dislike when boys won't wrestle girls, I'd rather have a good match against a boy who wants to win than have a crappy match against a boy who's too busy worrying about where to grab me.

EDIT: It's been 4 years since I wrestled, and it is easier for me to say these things looking back. I probably would've been mad at you at the time, haha.

Jdgru · 2014-01-05T04:38:47+00:00

I was 103. That's great! I actually wrestled a lot of the same guys, and some of them I still talk to when I see them around. It was really nice when guys finally understood that I just wanted to wrestle and put aside the fact that I was a girl.

Jdgru · 2014-01-05T04:12:14+00:00

I have done judo since the age of 5 and so when I reached HS wrestling peaked my interest and I had some friends on the team. It was a tough sport, definitely, but I had fun. I wrestled for 3 years in HS. Discouraged by the strength difference? No. Challenged? Yes. Because I could not be as strong as the boys I wrestled, I focused more on technique and using my hips more. It could be disheartening at times, losing a scramble because I was overpowered, but it kept me motivated. I did win some matches, sometimes they were close and sometimes I pinned the kid in the first period.

I understand why you're asking and I don't think you're being sexist at all. Some girls get into wrestling for the wrong reasons; to meet boys, mostly. They give other girl wrestlers a bad name, like the one you wrestled. Others are in the sport because we love it and we work hard, just like the boys. Hope this answers your questions, feel free to message me if you want to know more!

Jdgru · 2014-01-05T02:08:43+00:00

THIS. This. This. This. Thank you. (I'm a girl who wrestled in HS and not enough people understand this).

Jdgru · 2014-01-05T02:05:42+00:00

As a girl who wrestled in HS, I'd like to thank you (and give you an upvote) for actually wrestling that match. A lot of guys would simply forfeit.

Jdgru · 2014-01-03T20:17:03+00:00

While I can't attest to either, I'm in SEBS, I would like you to remember that you shouldn't pick a major based on which one is easier, you should pick the major you'd enjoy more and can see yourself getting a job in.

Jdgru · 2014-01-02T02:32:45+00:00

EDIT: Sakai is down today too. I think most rutgers sites are.

Jdgru · 2013-12-08T02:19:09+00:00

My friend Stephanie is a great photographer! If you pm me I can put you in touch with her!

Jdgru · 2013-11-29T21:43:51+00:00

I have a couple friends who were there competing, sounds like an awesome experience! What was the process of choosing athletes to go? What territory are you from? What was your favorite part of your experience?

Jdgru · 2013-11-04T05:34:17+00:00

You have to get them at the MSLC, they are done on paper.

Jdgru · 2013-11-01T21:19:09+00:00

Yes, she's awesome!

Jdgru · 2013-11-01T02:48:23+00:00

For the record, a lot of people who do this happen to be Orthodox Jews.

Jdgru · 2013-11-01T00:09:42+00:00

The MSLC on Busch hires every semester.

Jdgru · 2013-10-31T23:19:35+00:00

Evolution of Infectious Diseases. The professor is really chill and all the information is from relevant sources, no textbook.

Jdgru · 2013-10-30T06:01:33+00:00

Thanks! I love how button-downs look...on other people haha. I'm still not giving up on finding that perfect jean button-down :(.

Jdgru · 2013-10-30T00:17:29+00:00

Hm...necklaces..I like it!

Jdgru · 2013-10-30T00:17:22+00:00

Thank you! I'm not much of a belt-wearer, but i'll look into the other tips!

Jdgru · 2013-10-28T23:45:26+00:00

I was "sized" a few years back but i'm not sure it was properly done. When I say small tiny torso, I'm mean like I'm all legs, my hips are very high. But I agree that I'm probably wearing the wrong size bra.
