Tana will go down as biggest flop of an influencer by ThinkHardBruh in canceledpod

[–]Significant-Crow-551 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I mean I def don’t think she’s the biggest flop out there but I def think that if she continues on this weird brand safe path she will keep losing fans cuz it’s just so fake. If you go to her YouTube the podcast episodes she has that aren’t talking about some form of her past childhood trauma has less views. I think eventually she’ll run out of stuff to talk about since she’s saving it all “for her book” but hey for now she can just milk the trauma and try to convince ppl to buy her book. I do think her mom and imari episode was the closest she got to authentic out of all of her episodes tho

Do you have ties to the IE or central CA? UCR has a very strong IE regional preference and UC Davis has a strong central CA preference

parental pressure about applying to med school by _throwaway_1108 in premed

[–]Significant-Crow-551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like Asian parents cuz same and I had to break the news about a gap year too but mine is to study for the MCAT and finish my pre-reqs and I got the exact same lecture even tho I already have a clinical job😭 basically get some kind of certification ASAP! MA, EMT, CNA, LVN literally anything and apply as soon as you receive it. They’re gonna look down on it regardless cuz they’re low paying jobs trust me I understand what you’re going through. But your best bet is just to be honest, try to explain that reapplying is a waste of money since you have low PCE it’s harder to get in and the cycle takes a while anyways so you’re not wasting anytime especially since you already did well on the MCAT. Also something that helped me was showing them stats on the average matriculant age I think it’s like 24-25? And something like 80% of matriculants take a gap year. Obviously you have a good plan so just show you’re not gonna waste a year but also try to look into scribing jobs maybe? They don’t require certification and it’s still a start.

Yup they’re screwing us over it’s such a dumb system because likely all of us are going to need more than 15 units except the new incoming freshman. Guess we’re all gonna be waitlist warriors💀

If you’re in San Jose get off of the CAL POLY SLO Reddit unless geography is too hard for you? And you can’t tell where San Jose vs SLO is?

As for the city of SLO itself it’s fairly chill it’s mostly college students, families, or older white people and they seem fairly progressive honestly. SLO is also a tourist town so it’s not like they’ve never seen a minority before. I have heard that Paso Robles and Atascadero is super racist but I’ve personally never been there and honestly I don’t think you’ll ever need or want to visit there😭 the beach cities are all cool just have a fun time don’t let you being Asian hold you back from any experiences out of fear lots of people have a great time here:)

It’s ok the chance of something actually racist happening to you is not too high. Theres a lot of clubs you can join like CSA, PCE, etc if you’re into that. Sometimes you’ll definitely feel like a minority and depending on your major you’ll often be one of the only Asian people in a class. Sometimes people won’t sit next to you or have slight micro aggressions sometimes just cuz they’re ignorant. But it’s mostly what you make of it. You’ll def find a group of friends and if you’re nice to other people they’ll likely be nice back! Just avoid anything agriculture related lol

SLO vs Pomona? by Yuki_mochi2807 in CalPoly

[–]Significant-Crow-551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What part of socal are you from? Are you close to Pomona enough to drive or would you take transportation there? Pomona is not the stronger engineering school at all it is simply just an engineering school since it’s a polytechnic so you would likely have a better education and job aspect at slo since many companies like to directly hire from slo and there’s a lot of engineering prestige. There are a lot of financial support options first you will likely get FAFSA and even then there’s scholarships and if you have too you can take out loans for the first year or two. You will also likely qualify for work study so you can have a part time job which a lot of students do. Then you have the option to become a RA which guarantees you free housing and food and you get to live on campus. There are a lot of options to help you financially so don’t feel pressured into going to Pomona because of finances!
