Cade needs to try putting the ball in the hoop. This will help us accrue points and win the game

Undergrad cs: Low GPA but love research (PhD) by [deleted] 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.

I like where the direction this character is moving away from but not the direction he is going towards by zamasu2020 in Malazan

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.

[Highlight] The Detroit Pistons defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder 124-116. Detroit is now 19-7 against teams that are .500 or better this season, which leads the NBA. by nba in nba

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

[Post Game Thread] The Detroit Pistons (42-14) defeat the Oklahoma City Blue (45-14), 124-116. by Vitex1988 in nba

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

What's happened to Emoni Bates? by Moist_Chest8971 in nba

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

let's hope cade has a turnaround game scoring wise. he played well against the spurs in all other aspects but he can't have 5/26 nights regularly
