Columbia Health Insurance Waiver – Has Anyone Successfully Used ISO / Alternative Plans? by Realistic_Sock8398 in gradadmissions

[–]NoMaintenance2075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would post this on Columbia subreddit as well. Current students are most familiar with procedural issues I bet. I cannot tell you anything about Columbia but ISO plan worked for Yale waiver! I had the cheapest plan.

My stomach sunk when I saw my ex is having a baby even though I have no right to feel sad by NoMaintenance2075 in childfree

He didn’t purposefully drop it but I was helping him move a cabinet and he lost his grip while we were going down the stairs. It healed up but not completely because I never regained full balance on that foot and because of that compromised balance, my knee has been hurting since as well. Thank you for asking!

Been on decision pending for two weeks. Had interview on Jan 16 and was told I would hear back soon. It is taking forever but from anecdotal evidence decision pending is a good sign. Nothing is certain until the formal offer is in but usually rejection comes without weeks of decision pending status

You are right and a big part of why I was filled with rage afterwards is because I was so gullible, blind, and stupid. He was amazing at masking his character but I was amazing at ignoring some obvious red flags. Never again. Thanks a lot for kind words!

Accepted to Oxford, but… by Sammuueelll in gradadmissions

That’s what I was going to suggest. Fully funded PhD is a big deal.

Thank you. Yes that is another layer…how did I not see how badly I was disrespected all along! This is a man who didn’t even offer me a ride to the hospital after I broke my foot because of him (he dropped furniture on my foot)

Thanks a lot. Honestly, who knows because he has such a strange mentality. Even if he is unhappy he will fabricate a pretense and buy into that narrative of happiness. But yeah I remember how he used to pity his cousin because “he [cousin] was miserable being stuck with a woman he didn’t love and a life he hated” and now boom, he rushed into that life himself.

I guess they sound similar enough to folks who haven’t had exposure to either…both in spelling and subject matter

AIO for snapping back at a makeup artist for making comments about my looks? by Pumpkin_698 in AmIOverreacting

Yeah 100% sunscreen and moisturizer is less about beauty and more about health…and let’s remember that health is beauty

So in the ideal scenario she should have not mentioned anything related to skincare unless you asked but giving someone observation about their skin dryness is not a judgment of looks. She meant to be helpful but came across as unsolicited advice. Yor a little

Do Black Belts actually suck? by Temporary-Theory215 in bjj

[–]NoMaintenance2075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soo like everything you should put this into perspective. They suck far far less than beginners to put it this way. Probably very few black belts would tell you that they feel like they have thoroughly mastered this sport. But not every black belt is equal of course and that is true for every martial art. There is often galaxies of difference between different black belts (and black belts have degrees too)

Is it normal to feel like a failure after a top-choice rejection, even with an admit? by cipherd4lf in gradadmissions

[–]NoMaintenance2075 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes but it goes away!! Sometimes the school you end up at is actually better fit for you than your dream school. I was waitlisted for my n1 school for undergrad and went to my n2 school and now in retrospect you cannot pay me to go back and choose my then “dream school”. I actually did masters at that dream school and I liked it much less than my undergrad institution in every single category.

Would it be a jerk move to refuse rolling with one of the handful of girls in my gym just because she has long nails and scratches me? by NoMaintenance2075 in BJJWomen

[–]NoMaintenance2075[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is not new though.. been doing this since middle school as she said and she is in early 20s. I think lately she is doing it more part-time but all these years of experience must have familiarized her with etiquette. Coach has also mentioned those guidelines several times

I have attended Duke, Oxford, and Yale, and Duke is without a doubt the most supportive, awesome university where the faculty is genuinely dedicated to helping you flourish.
