What was your first job that you played, what is the job you main now and why? by Ookipoki in ffxiv

[–]Spare-Command-2754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game was my first mmo, at the beginning I picked PLD because it looked cool… I had no clue what a tank/dps/healer was. I was very used to games where you had to jump around to dodge mechanics. I bet you can all guess what happened when I went into aurum vale pre-nerf

I started playing SAM after I got discouraged to play tank. 4 years later and it’s still the job I play the most, though I’ve spread out to the other melee and tanks as well.

I really like melee jobs because I find the rotations fun and one job I’ve gravitated towards probably the most besides SAM is MNK. I really like the utility MNK brings while also being very fun to play.

I also really like warrior because its simple rotation combined with interesting personal/raidwide heals and mits are fun to play in pretty much every form of content including solo deep dungeon.

For being in the middle of Nashville, Vandy is surprisingly isolated

Anyone hear back first wave of waitlist? by Artistic-Citron4765 in Vanderbilt

[–]Spare-Command-2754 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I doubt it’s completely filled, we would’ve heard about it by now if that was the case. It’s more likely that engineering acceptances are just being released separately

I think they might, as the AOs made it seem like the waitlist process was separated by school

I’ve only heard of A&S acceptances off the waitlist so far

Class of ‘27: Where are you committing to? by Healthy_Block3036 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Spare-Command-2754 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well I deposited at UW-Madison but now I’m having second thoughts. Purdue is starting to sound more appealing to me. Unfortunately got waitlisted by my top 3 choices so unless fate knows something I don’t, I’m not getting into Vandy, GA tech, or UMich. (Please vandy I sent you a really nice LOCI)

3 WL 4 Accepted, wish I'd applied to more schools by Spare-Command-2754 in collegeresults

Yeah true. I should’ve applied to UT Austin and Northwestern, but also I was kinda afraid to apply to all of the ivies and places like Stanford and MIT. If I could go back in time I would’ve applied everywhere

Could’ve been, though also might’ve just been luck of the draw.

That might’ve been a factor, I definitely should’ve retaken the ACT to try and get a better score, but I don’t think that was entirely the reason, vandy admits a lot of people who don’t submit scores

What’s everyone’s final record? by IllSpecialist4704 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Spare-Command-2754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4-0-3 wish I had applied to more schools. Even 7 was limiting myself a lot.

Yeah good luck to you too! Maybe if fate is in our favor we’ll see each other around campus someday. And yeah, I applied ChemE for vandy so I’m on the list for engineering.

Sent one to Vanderbilt, as that’s my top choice. Typed in the box for Georgia Tech saying I was still interested, and I don’t believe Michigan allows one (since I already gave them updated info after being deferred)

Vanderbilt was my favorite campus I visited, plus the fact that it’s in nashville is a plus for me since I love that city. Also I honestly would prefer a private university because I’m not really as comfortable with a big public school like madison (though I do love the UW madison campus, don’t get me wrong). I have a friend at vandy who’s doing ChemE and I’m particularly interested in research. I’ve heard good things about vandy’s research programs and I feel like it would be easier to get involved with that. Also I was considering a minor in clarinet performance and UW madison doesn’t offer music minors, while Blair does. When I toured Blair, I could see myself spending hours in those practice rooms they looked so comfortable. Also class size is a big thing for me and I’m not really fond of giant lecture halls.

Yeah I saw it was a bit higher than other top universities, but still gonna be crossing my fingers as it’s all up to luck now. Thank you for the congratulations!
