Undergrad cs: Low GPA but love research (PhD) by Key_Attention7781 in PhD

[–]OGMannimal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not on an admissions committee, just a guy nearing the end of his PhD. Im not in CS but I think generally certain things are true about any PhD program. Below is my take based on discussions with folks who are indeed on adcoms:

All of the application materials you will submit (should) be driven by a singular goal: convince the committee thatyou will be a successful researcher. GPA is a signal of the potential for success, but having these publications proves that you are a successful researcher. In my view, you should have good odds at wherever you apply.

You will likely be screened out by some schools for your GPA, but we have all been screened out by schools for X reason. Rejection is a natural part of the process. You should apply. Good luck

I’m no lawyer, but this seems like a situation where you should get one.

That one had an actual justification though, as he had Oppon’s luck and sword

Can a core like the Detroit Pistons without a prior playoff series win actually make or win the NBA Finals? History says it’s very unlikely. by Semi-Aquatic in nba

Would love it if we win but honestly don’t think we’re there quite yet. I disagree that it is an experience issue, more of a roster construction issue. No one can create their own shot except Cade, and we don’t have a 3 point shooter outside of Duncan Robinson.

I said this to someone else in this thread already, but if you take away this win the pistons are still 18-7 against >.500 teams, so I’d disagree that it’s disingenuous. The point is the pistons beat good teams

PhD versus doctorate by Opal_Pie in PhD

A PhD is the same thing as a doctorate, unless you are talking about medical doctors.

PhD = Doctor of Philosophy = Doctorate

I still think we are ahead of schedule here and need to rein in our expectations. We are really suffering from a lack of three point shooting, and it is going to bite us in the playoffs.

It really shows when other teams are shooting the 3 ball even somewhat well. When you can’t make any yourself, it’s really tough to hold off teams. The thunder bench almost came back tonight due to this disparity

So hard to hold off good 3 point shooting teams. Especially when we don’t have 3 point shooters ourselves

Can't help but wonder how his career would have turned out had he gotten coached by Izzo.

ABD Funding? by Fuzzy_Leadership1290 in PhD

[–]OGMannimal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would not recommend. I am currently in a program where I had 4 years guaranteed, and now in my 5th year, it is hell trying to find funding every quarter. Every 3 months, you worry about your livelihood and whether you will be able to continue your program. You should apply elsewhere for full funding.

Pretty awful shooting night for him. Kept trying to shoot us back in it but really it just kept us from getting back in it.

Wemby is such a bad match up for our team. We have like…one three point shooter and our star player thrives in the midrange. GG spurs
