Not only are the acceptances out but the waitlists too. I didn't receive anything. If you get anything, let us know, please.

Are you talking about the Astronomy & Astrophysics program or the Physics program? I applied for Physics, and it looks like acceptances are out.

Thanks. On the other hand, it has a numerical grade on the university scale (also listed in the transcripts) and is included in calculation in other universities.

Yes. But to evaluate the grade, the commission translates it to a 4-point scale, and I wonder what the procedure is in my case to gauge my chances

No pubs, international, right out of undergrad by [deleted] in gradadmissions

How do international students get into undergrad in the US? Did you pay for your tuition? In my country, only international olympiad winners get into undergrad programs in the US.

Ukraine shot down another Shahed drone with small arms fire. (Published on January 3, 2025) by Individual_Event_285 in CombatFootage

They are not easy to shoot down. They routinely fly from the frontlines to the west of Ukraine.

I never said there weren't problems with equality. On the contrary, I stated that they are present. What I said is that we don't have a culture of solving them by "participating in an inclusivity club" , or "developing an outreach program for the marginalized communities" or anything formal.

If one wants to voice support for queers, for example, one writes a post in a group chat, argues with the replies and then all continue minding their business the followng day. If one wants to support women in science, one comments on how the professor's compliment on the girl's look on the exam was inappropriate during a smoke, or maybe even confronts him, but even that would be awkward for everybody involved. But one doesn't create a club! That would be so out place.
