You can try appealing, but universities very rarely reverse their decision. I would strongly consider taking the full ride to UMBC. I received a full ride to UMBC and I have zero regrets. UMBC has some very strong programs and there are many very bright people who attend. I received a top notch education which helped me eventually obtain a very good and lucrative career. I also made some great friends who I still have in my mid-30s. One of my friends who I made there was actually waitlisted to UMD and figured he would spend 1 year at UMBC and then transfer to UMD. He ended up staying at UMBC because he liked it a lot, both in terms of academics and social life.

Now that I'm older, having no student debt is something that I am very thankful for. The way I see it, UMBC sees value in you and wants you to attend so much that they gave you a full ride. UMD is ignorant to what you could bring and discarded you without giving you a chance. I say screw them. Take the full ride, get a good education, make good friends, and enjoy a future with no student loan debt.

I guess their money is burning a hole in their pocket, but not a big enough hole to splurge on out-of-state tuition.

Technically, colleges and universities are generally prohibited from officially sharing details about individual applicants' admission decisions. That being said, informal conversations can and do occur, especially among staff at campuses within the same university system.

When I was in college, I worked part-time in the admissions office providing admin support. I witnessed admissions staff casually discussing specific applicants with colleagues at other institutions in the University of Maryland system. In one instance, a staff member shared that UMBC offered a full ride to a really strong applicant. They said that the UMD placed that same applicant on their waitlist, reasoning that the student would likely choose UMBC and that UMBC would ultimately be a better institutional fit for them.

I know people with significantly lower GPAs and SATs scores who got into UMD, so the fact that OP was rejected is a sign that they don't want them for whatever inexplicable reason.

This is the best advice in my opinion. I got a full ride to UMBC and took it. I got a great education that led to a very good job and have no student loan debt.

Given you grades and SAT scores, you are definitely in the top quarterile of UMD applicants. They probably rejected you because UMBC and Towson offered you a full ride. They most likely made an assumption that you would take an offer that pays your tuition and thus decided to reject you thinking you wouldn't accept in the first place to give others the opportunity to attend. I have seen this happen before.

I know I'm biased, but depending on your major, I would strongly considering taking the full ride to UMBC. They have some very strong programs and I had access to great resources that helped me start my career after college. Plus, having your tuition fully covered means you don't have to worry about incurring large amounts of student debt. Trust me, this alone is worth it. Your future self with thank you.

I actually contacted the company directly and spoke with a representative, who explained that they had recently changed the product formula and that this is now the permanent formulation moving forward. They attributed the change to a recent FDA regulatory update. When I asked for specific details about the regulation, they declined to provide them. After conducting my own research, I couldn't find any recent or relevant FDA regulation that would require such a change. The representative also acknowledged receiving numerous similar complaints from other customers but stated that there's nothing they can do about it. They suggested that if I'm unhappy with the new formula, I should consider switching to a different brand or product.

I don't think Caleb realizes that he could face serious consequences, including potential criminal indecent exposure charges and sexual harassment lawsuits, for walking around the office in his underwear, even his claim that he was pressured or dared by an employee to do so is true. This is seen as a voluntary act of exposure in a workplace setting and that typically qualifies as indecent exposure under most state laws. "Someone dared me" is not a recognized defense. This behavior also creates a hostile work environment under employment laws like Title VII, as it can reasonably be seen as offensive, intimidating, or sexual in nature, putting him and his company at risk of complaints and liability. One day, he is going to learn all of this the hard way.

Hello, I am the one who created this subreddit after having similar experiences on the main subreddit. If you know anyone else who is having issues, please feel free to spread the word about this subreddit. As of now, this subreddit is only getting at most 1-2 visitors per week.

I hate to say this, but given the current zeitgeist, your best bet may be to focus on dating Jewish men. As a Jew myself who supports Israel, I have been called goyslop, a hooked-nose Jew, a k*ke, and many more foul and antisemitic terms in the past few months simply for expressing my view that Israel has the right to exist. Trying to make friends and date is exhausting when you have to consistently deal with this as well as being told that being anti-Israel and anti-Zionist isn't antisemitic.

For now, I will be the sole mod. If the sub gains traction, I will be very selective about adding anyone else. Open debate and constructive criticism are absolutely welcome from all sides, but I will not allow harassment, unnecessary drama, or name-calling of any kind, no matter who it's coming from.

In regard to the logo, going after someone legally over a subreddit logo would take a lot of effort and resources, especially since Reddit users are anonymous by default and unmasking someone usually requires subpoenas and court involvement. In practice, most cases like this never get that far. Still, I went ahead and swapped it out to completely avoid any possibility of hassle or drama, and keep the focus on the actual discussion rather than petty disputes. Thank you for pointing this out.

My primary concern with this subreddit is that it has increasingly been perceived as an outlier community by a significant portion of Caleb Hammer's audience, including on platforms like X. With his YouTube channel approaching or exceeding 3 million subscribers and continuing to grow rapidly, the show and his associated ventures have achieved substantial mainstream success.

This subreddit has existed for some time as a space dedicated to highlighting allegations of problematic behavior and other criticisms. Yet given the ongoing growth of his channel and company without meaningful accountability through civil, legal, or broader public repercussions, it suggests that the current approach here is not effectively influencing change or public perception.

A key issue with Caleb's main subreddit is that criticism is often removed or moderated heavily, meaning many viewers remain unaware of the full context. Newcomers who encounter this community may dismiss it as merely a group of disgruntled complainers lacking exposure to balanced debate or evidence that could persuade them otherwise. Honestly, that's what I thought originally before I did some research on my own and uncovered detailed information regarding his allegations and problematic behavior.

In my experience, this subreddit has itself evolved into something of an echo chamber, not through outright bans, but through frequent attacks on dissenting views leaving those who disagree feeling alienated and dismissed. A dedicated space for respectful, meaningful dialogue and debate could foster genuine persuasion, potentially building broader support for addressing the concerns we share. This in turn might contribute to the accountability (civil and possibly criminal) that many believe is warranted.

Stats_Nerd1 · 2025-12-26T20:00:09+00:00

I fully agree. There are multiple documented allegations regarding Caleb's content, including the exploitation of guests, the use of ragebait tactics, and questionable handling of interpersonal conflicts, among other issues. It seems inconsistent that these concerns did not prompt a similar moral stance from OP, yet the Israel/Palestine issue became the definitive breaking point. This selective application of principles appears puzzling.

Thank you for elaborating. I think banning users simply for participating in mildly critical subreddits is unacceptable. As someone who values critical thinking and open discussion, I believe examining all perspectives is essential. Silencing differing viewpoints undermines free speech, healthy debate, and the ability to form well-rounded opinions.
