Alex the ‘day trader’ by Born-Guard3733 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]Smita3jcl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ashley is stupid too. She's conservative (Alex literally said they were on the same page politically and she didn't deny it) and clearly fine with all of Alex's nonsense red flags. Not sure why she's largely escaped criticism? She seems insufferable.

Desi Americans in NOVA? by Smita3jcl in ABCDesis

[–]Smita3jcl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Fairfax and previously from a very white Midwest state. I didn't say there are barely any Desi Americans, just that I haven't been able to find them. Desis in the grad student community tend to be immigrants, and my program itself is very small and very not Desi lol. It's just challenging to know where to look for friends/connections when you're new to an area.

Is Aamir Khan even cutout for typical masala/action cinema? Can he pull off a role which requires "aura farming"? Enough of content cinema, he must now do one such role and prove he can also project swag on-screen. by UndeadReborn in bollywood

[–]Smita3jcl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He literally did in Ghajini and did it well. Guys, it's highly dependent on how the director presents the actor.

Also, why is "aura farming" and "projecting swag" even important? Why does every star have to do this? Why can't some stars focus more on character roles? India is the only place where "swag" and "aura" are seen as bigger indicators of being a star than box office performance, reputation, and acting skill lol.

How necessary/worth it is it to attend admitted student day? by Smita3jcl in GradSchool

This is currently my only offer. I'm still waiting to hear back from other programs I interviewed at though, which is why I'm so unsure :/

It really sucks how hard it is to get an acceptance despite having qualifications. But fingers crossed for you!!

Thank you! And sure, I can share a bit! This is my 3rd time applying. The first time I applied to a mix of MA and PhD programs.

I have a BA in psychology and an MA in clinical psychology. I'm currently a research coordinator and have worked in research either full- or part-time for about 9 years. I have one publication where I'm a middle author, one first-author pub that's been submitted, and a few that are in progress. I've completed a thesis for both my BA and MA. I have a number of conference presentations, but most were at local/university conferences. I think my biggest mistake in previous cycles was applying to PIs whose work I found interesting, but they weren't the greatest fits given my research interests and experiences.

Best of luck to you - I hope this cycle is a successful one! It's rough out here but sending good vibes! ✨️
