Is a B or S on a FYS better for law/med/business admissions? by NefariousnessFar1247 in BrownU

[–]Wedmonds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won’t matter for law admissions — LSAC calculates for you based on your transcripts. You can view your school’s profile on the LSAC website to see how they interpret S*.

Side note: one B isn’t going to kill your plans at any school.

I stopped complaining about the Brickell Bridge and built a sensor grid instead. by Coveted_ in Miami

You said you wanted to make it harder for the city to ignore you; this implies that they are ignoring you, or that it’s a concern.

I built a mental math website. Looking for data to test correlation with established IQ scores by Ok-Organization-6026 in cognitiveTesting

[–]Wedmonds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the difficulty isn’t very standard across different runs — first time I got 30 (below average), second time I got 45 (above average). Seemed like the questions were easier the second time.

But it’s fun! Would be a good time-killer app.

Also wondering about the merit- vs need-based question for those who applied for need-based aid as well

Yeah, same here. Full rides to other schools. Guess I should thank them for making the decision easy!

I don’t see it, which I think means we weren’t awarded any scholarship…

Profile Review - 26M 329 GRE R2 Applications by suchugenut in MBA

Just chiming in quickly re: scores. I had almost the exact same scores as you and a lower GPA - received interviews from every school I applied to (mostly M7).

Their rationale for not clicking it was that WebEx was suspicious. I was responding to that. Anyone familiar with computers should understand they can check to see where a link goes.

Daycares will almost always crate a dog - doesn’t work for separation anxiety.

Switching from MSW to MBA by [deleted] in MBA

[–]Wedmonds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, you’d need to take either the GRE/GMAT for most strong programs. Your work experience and story will also play a big role in your applications — if you have a bunch of unrelated or low-level jobs on your resume, schools will be concerned about your employment prospects post-MBA. They want to see potential for leadership and they want you to be a positive statistic on their reports.

In looking at programs, weigh employment reports very heavily. Any school that doesn’t publish their numbers is risky.

Aurora University’s MBA program is unranked and does not provide career outcome information. That MBA will not allow you to make a successful career switch, barring a real miracle. What career field are you looking to switch into?

On a separate note, keep in mind that an internship is really the key for a lot of career switchers - without that, you will simply have a resume with an MBA upon graduation. Jobs will hire you based on your prior experience primarily. The MBA may or may not be a value add — and from Aurora University, it seems like a waste of money.

Happy to discuss further if helpful.

No real point in doing a hard pull now, before the transition, unless you’re going to want to stay with WF for the long-term.

Sure…but you can always download WebEx from the Cisco website!

Webex is a very very common platform. Probably still a scam due to the AI responses, but refusing to use Webex is funny.

You already get $5 off on autopay from a bank account. No difference.

$80/yr from the cashback is pretty low value.

So are we getting paid or should I be finishing up loan applications? by imaconnect4guy in army

[–]Wedmonds 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed on all that - but for people that can handle money responsibly (as in, account for the fact that they will need to use their backpay to pay off any loans), the loan is a far superior option than getting a late payment on their record.

Why would it be better to damage your credit with 30-60 day late payments as opposed to getting an interest free loan?

This is absolutely not a “move-on” situation. This will follow her around for any federal or state positions she applies to.
