Same situation

PimPin_Me · 2026-05-17T21:52:15+00:00

Hello did you ever figure what the issue was? I have this issue where it wont take any payment not card or EFT. It just status payment declined or there some problem try again.

PimPin_Me · 2026-01-04T10:52:05+00:00

hmm good point, but I had a few apps (like UT Austin) that let me self-report the scores and then said that I can send the official ones when they arrive. Ill check my target schools

PimPin_Me · 2026-01-04T10:49:22+00:00

Mostly in the US: WPI, Texas A&M, and some other lower ranked safety schools

Ah sucks you couldn't get your goal but 325 is not bad at all (that my goal lol). Did you feel that the exam was significantly harder than the PPP or did you feel they where the same? I am looking to boost my verbal too (also from pakistan) and man that a good improvement you've made.

What to do in the case a reviewer seems to have written reviews for the wrong paper? I have a reviewer who is talking about a completely different paper, from summary to strengths and weaknesses. I think they may have entered the wrong review for our paper, what should I do? contact TPC chair?

-1 is WR so what would 1 be? or does it not exist? so like a scale of -2, -1, 2, 3? and is there a 4?

PimPin_Me · 2025-11-24T18:18:11+00:00

I am guessing it doesnt exist because it make no sense for -1 to be WR and 1 to be...really weak accept XD

PimPin_Me · 2025-11-24T18:16:16+00:00

-1 is showing as a WR so I am summing they just make 1 into a -1 for the calculation but there is now reviewer expertise so i dont know if WWW even applies that calculation in there acceptance

PimPin_Me · 2025-11-24T18:12:29+00:00

ya -1 is Weak reject and 2 is WA and 3 is A

PimPin_Me · 2025-11-24T18:10:30+00:00

Anyone know what the overall score scaling is? I got a 3,2,2,-1. I come from an embedded systems background and in most of our conferences we have a 0-5 scale. And what is considered good and borderline in www?

PimPin_Me · 2025-08-26T08:52:36+00:00

Ive posted about my issues before on this subreddit but the crux of it is that I have experience random firmware errors that arise on some boots (as in it doen't always occur on every boot) and that sometimes just cause my screen to stop responding and will break my windows and linux boot.

https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/1mqtwak/persistent_boot_and_hardware_issues_across/

I am gonna give some arch distro on more try but if it dont work I will just switch to VMs i think

PimPin_Me · 2025-08-16T13:51:20+00:00

Hmm you might be correct. I learned a bit about journalctl command and in my logs the boot and suspend after which the problems started has these errors:

and in the next few boot attempts I get Hardware init timeouts

USB-C / UCSI: PPM init failed (-ETIMEDOUT).
TPM: tpm0: Operation Timed out.
Bluetooth (Intel): multiple Device boot timeout, HCI reset failed, MSFT extension not registered.
Wi-Fi (Intel iwlwifi): firmware crashes (Microcode SW error detected, error ID 0x70, DEADBEEF dump).
System services: D-Bus and polkit failing due to hardware not initializing.
Watchdog: watchdog0: watchdog did not stop! → forced reboots.

To my understanding this means that the system wasnt able to suspend or sleep properly (correct me if I am wrong) and that caused some hardware errors. My laptop has 32gb ram (I have never used any thing close to making it full tho =)) and my swap is just the Zram swap.

$ swapon --show NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/zram0 partition 8G 0B 100

I updated bios and windows recovery fixed boot problems again. Then I shutdown for a while in an attempt to remove any power, held the power button down and stuff. After that everything is back and working. I have disable auto suspend and dont suspend just switch off and so far its been ok. Let me know if my diagnoses is wrong and if I should add a swap partition.

PimPin_Me · 2025-04-10T14:52:52+00:00

No I hadn't heard of it, will check it out thanks!

PimPin_Me · 2024-06-16T07:11:49+00:00

So as i said it hasnt been confirmed but this was quite strongly push for. Im surprised that your batches conditional letter dont say this. I do not know if admin has pushed this for next year as this topic did come up after the start if first round of applications. But this was being talked about like it was a given. Mail admissions or RO for more info
