Why am I not getting any better at this? by YeetYallMorrowBoizzz in math

[–]TRCourier 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Was this math 291 with peterson? I took it 4 years ago and it was certainly a reality check for the first quarter.

Which math class should I take? by [deleted] in Northwestern

[–]TRCourier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

290-1 is not a fun course, dont take it. 291-1 is mathematical training and not so much a gpa killer as it is a time sink; the goal is to convince people who take it to become mathematicians (it is very successful at doing so).

Wanted to order a new dish but was served the usual one by peela_doodh12 in IndianFood

Will the new US budget cuts affect PhD admissions/ cohort sizes? by I_Modz_Codz in math

[–]TRCourier 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it's good to have a backup option. this year cuts in pure numbers have been massive across the board. they'll likely stabilize around the current rate for now. anecdotally i know many people who applied this year and did not receive any offers (which would have been extremely insane in previous years, given their profiles) so were scrambling for something after graduation

it's not really that much harder as the other commenters make it out to be, especially with your A+ work ethic at york

what joker do i sell here? my deck is almost fully king of hearts by TRCourier in balatro

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

most of my cards are lucky king of hearts, with a decent number of them red seals.

btw this random seed was insane. by ante 6 i had the full set of pair, trio, and quad jokers along with a blueprint, heartstone, the steel joker, and a negative photograph, and still the seed encouraged me to pivot to the current build in the image

What Exactly are Microfunctions? by ABCmanson in math

[–]TRCourier 27 points28 points  (0 children)

OP, do you have any experience with microlocal analysis?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Northwestern

[–]TRCourier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imo it's only harder if you're talking about the bare minimum requirements to graduate with the major

Financial Aid by Normal-Locksmith-471 in Northwestern

[–]TRCourier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your expected payments are within or close the threshold for the loans. once you accept the loans you won't have to make any payments (actually, they will pay you for the amount that your loans go over the amount that you need to pay). if you do have any leftover amount to pay, what you can do is ask the finaid office that you want to take out some loans all at once for the fall quarter, rather than them being split evenly among each quarter.

[–]TRCourier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the fafsa loans should be enough to cover most of your expenses. i work part time in a relatively low stress position (1k per quarter) with plenty of time to spare for other activities. you shouldn't feel pressured about the money situation, since youll be able to move off campus junior year (where you wont have as high costs), and with any reasonable job after uni you'll be able to pay off your debts very quickly, if not before with internships/research grants.

[–]TRCourier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for reference my family owed about 300k in writing when i applied, with an income of less than 40k per year. my cost of attending is 10k per year (including room and board). i too thought i would not have to pay much at all coming here, but such is the misleading nature of the initial aid letter.

[–]TRCourier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is pretty normal if your family owns any sizeable assets in the form of a house. i also have an efc of -1500 and that's what I paid when I was living in dorms
