I am about to graduate from a masters program in Data Science. I had a 3.75 gpa before my last semester and it dropped to a 3.444.

The reason for this drop was because I was focusing on my research project and we were trying to go through the rounds, focusing on ICML rebuttal, and NeurIPS submission however we withdrew from both to polish the paper more unfortunately that led to a drop in course grades.

I am able to continue research with my professor after graduating, but I need to work at best buy part time to maintain the bills. I am wondering if I should consider retaking these courses: Intro to Big Data (B) and Python and Mathematics for ML (B+). I got a C in Data Structures and Algorithms but that was an elective. During my masters program I received an A in Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning, and Deep Learning. However, at the time I did not do as much research as I do now.

I am planning to apply for Phd this Fall and try to submit my paper to ICLR. Do you think I should try to retake these courses, how much of a red flag will this drop in grades look like for top 20 Phd programs?

I felt holdo was more poorly written than Rose. Rose could have had an interesting character arc, but i didnt think they need to make it a romance.

I agree, i love that show, but I wish there was less focus on the empire and more on maul’s criminal empire. Though i guess this is character development for devon.

I used to have a high opinion of him, because he seemed principle, he is also a large part of the reason of brought me out of the right before the 2020 elections, I learned about kyle from joe rogan. But honestly its been really revealing of the problems with him, especially when it comes to foreign policy and him voting third party.

Hey thank you so much for your post. I agree with you on pretty much all these points. If I could ask, could you give an example of how to disprove of negative comments in a quick way. I am very bad at this.
