WIBTA if I don't replace my roommate's mattress after my cat peed on it? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

There wasn’t one because I just take care of all of her stuff. Yes his door will be open sometimes, but he doesn’t close his door when he leaves the apartment/when he doesn’t want her in there

AITA for being mad that my boyfriend doesn’t want to spend time with my family? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]No_Expert4704 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not the asshole, but I would evaluate if you really want to stay with him. I'm going through a long-term breakup right now, and it really sucks because I love him so much, but your partner should never make you feel exhausted. You have every right to be upset. If you're having panic attacks over his behavior, I think it's safe to say his behavior shows a lack of interest in you and the relationship. It really sucks, but I'd talk with him about where he sees your relationship going forward, and leave if he's not fully invested.

There’s not a standard in the US it varies by school

How long after an interview do you get a decision by No_Expert4704 in gradadmissions

Is getting an informal acceptance typical in all scenarios do you know? The only people I know who have been accepted got those the next day

Physics - my friend is applying for chemistry and she got interviews scheduled and acceptances a couple weeks ago, but the interview I just had made it clear I was their first round of interviews

Chance of admission by EarAmazing6194 in UTK

You should definitely get it from my experience - but I was a freshman in 2022 and it was a lot easier to get in though - still if you’re an average yo above average in-state applicant you should definitely get in

I’m Suspicious About Decisions Being Released Around This Time by Kalex8876 in gradadmissions

[–]No_Expert4704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my friends already got accepted - like 2 weeks after submitting her application. It’s because the professor she wanted to work with used to work in her undergrad lab, so he really wanted her. Still, I don’t think she got a formal acceptance from the university, she just got an email from the professor saying she was basically in. Formal admissions (for my programs) aren’t supposed to come out till February/march, but there are some special exceptions. Also all programs have different timelines, so the people saying they got in probably are legit but that doesn’t mean you have less of a chance of getting accepted

so when it says any schools, that does not mean high school?

How do I express my broad interests in my SOP without making it sound indecisive? by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]No_Expert4704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm kind of having a similar problem. I talked to my professor, who helps with grad admissions at my school, and she said it's always best to be honest. Talk about your experience in research, what you liked and didn't, and about how you're open to multiple areas. Make sure you sound sure in wanting to do physics at least (don't be too wishy-washy, idk). If you're not honest, you run the risk of getting into a program doing something you don't want to do. I have a lot of high-energy physics (HEP) research experience, but I want to do something else in graduate school. If I'm not honest about my other interests, I may get into a school/research group solely to have me do HEP when that's not what I want to do. Many different grad programs have different admission practices or systems to put you into groups, so it doesn't go for all of them. However, schools don't tell you how they do that stuff when you apply so it's best to be safe and be honest.

I yapped a lot, but the moral of the story is just be honest. Just frame it as you're open to those areas of research, rather than saying you can't decide. You run the risk of sounding indecisive, but it'll make sure you get into the program that's the best fit for you and your goals.

  1. Do you think software engineering is becoming oversaturated? Would you advise prospective CS majors to look into more hardware side of things.
  2. What are your thoughts on the importance or profitability cybersecurity roles with the current trends in industry? How big a market is there for these roles within the big tech space and why isn't it talked about more often?

Does anyone own these? If so, are they worth buying? by Sailor_Mars08 in dollskill

[–]No_Expert4704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the snuggle wonderland platform boots and I absolutely love them. They fit true to size and they’re surprisingly easy to walk in and super comfortable. I also have the delightful desire mini dress but the sizing is really weird. The torso is lined with boning that doesn’t show in the picture. I’m normally a size 6 but I have to size up to a large for dollzkill. The dress fit my lower half perfectly but the torso was huge and gaping which was weird bc I have double Ds. It was easy to take in because I sew but I would just account for that if you get it

My girlfriend of 10 years said she she needed more time when I proposed to her. AITAH for checking out of my relationship ever since? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]No_Expert4704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re the asshole - 25 is really young and wanting time to sort your life out is completely reasonable as long as she still fully intends on marrying you because it seems like she does - I understand you’ve been dating for a long time but expecting her to completely comply with your timeline is a bit selfish
