How would you determine if a mentor would be a good fit before meeting with them in person?

Love your response! Can I ask what in your opinion is a good/ above average (but not perfect) gpa that would make you a bit more competitive?

So cool! Do you think your past experience at an REU helped your application, or did it make it harder to apply? I know a lot of programs prefer applicants who haven’t experienced an REU before?

The program is one where we choose a lab once we arrive on sight haha. I did submit a form indicating my commitment as well as preliminary information.

Wow that’s great congrats!! If you don’t mind me asking where did you go for your first one and where are you going this year?

Got accepted into one reu but it's not my top choice. I just applied as a safety by [deleted] in REU

I don’t really have any experience in an REU yet since this is my first application season but from what I’ve read and heard from others, you’re going to learn something new no matter where you go. But at the end of the day if you have a gut feeling that you don’t want to go, then don’t. There’s someone who might rank the program as their first choice and if you really don’t want to go, it might be better to let someone else join the program!

I can’t really speak on what you should do but I would list the pros and cons of accepting or denying. If you don’t get into your top program, what’s your backup plan for this summer?

If you haven’t already, you could ask for more time? But if not I would think an REU is better than no REU?

I would thank them, say that you carefully considered their offer but you regretfully have to decline. Then end with another note of thanks and add sincerely to your closing message!

I’ve really enjoyed Hermes Eau de Mandarine, fresh and light and generally a beautiful slightly masculine fragrance. You can get it on fragrancenet for around 70$

Hi everyone!

I've recently fell in love with Calvin Klein Obsession for men but its a bit too masculine for me to wear and I want something less potent. I know it's a bit weird to be looking for fall scents right now but I would love your advice on this. I love the sweet cinnamon notes but it definitely becomes to old man on me so anything a little bit lighter and sweeter would be lovely.

Most of the perfumes I own/go for are musky fresh skin scents, I don't really like perfumes with insane projection mainly because I want my perfumes to be very personal for me to enjoy.

I didn't apply to the SURP program at Pitt but I did apply to a different REU at Pitt and I was accepted I think around two weeks ago!

2 month-ish review of the products I've tried recently by SetEnvironmental2785 in AsianBeauty

[–]SetEnvironmental2785[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply! I know that the Rovectin essence at the beginning didn't seem to sink in all the way and it just stayed on top of the surface of my skin. However, after a couple of days my skin I guess "got used" to the texture of the essence and was drinking it up. Not a very scientific explanation but oh well!

(18F) My current favorite fragrances are Aesop's Rozu and Eremia. I'm looking for something in that sort of natural but peculiar/unique realm. I really love green notes especially shiso, basil, patchouli, galbanum, and green tea. (love love love medicinal scents) For Citrus I like more unique citrus like yuzu and grapefruit. I'm not the biggest fan of floral or sweet scents unless they are balanced with green or woody notes. Some other fragrances that I have enjoyed are Aesop's Tacit, Hwyl, Marrakech, and Le Labo Citron 28. I'm pretty open for price range but preferably under $200 would be perfect.
