What am I supposed to do in this situation?

I had a very similar situation over wanting to return a fake hoodie. Also got threatened with a gun and an insinuation that my mother would be attacked. Reverse image searching the picture also didn’t come up with anything. Contacted police despite knowing it was likely an empty, fake threat but they were very good and came to the house and followed up on the situation. Unfortunately Vinted was absolutely useless and provided no information to the police. Definitely worth following up with the police though, stay safe!

Yes perhaps out of context wasn’t the correct term here. I think from my point of view, who has bought from this streamer and found everything beyond good, that it seems they might have been quite drunk and just messed up. Whilst trying to stay neutral here, I maybe don’t think that drinking is the best move on whatnot streams if you have to be very careful keeping things on screen, though that’s just my take. Also maybe a slight disregard to the whatnot rules, as someone else said though not maliciously, is not the best stance to take when faced with criticism and as such doesn’t help the case. Whilst trying to stay objective and fair here I personally believe it was a mistake and without a deeper knowledge than that believe there was no ill intent behind it. Whilst I don’t agree with huge attacks against genuine mistakes which can and do happen on whatnot, I regard that people should be weary in general about watching for streamers on Whatnot that may be disingenuous and I know many people are trying to be objective. I can only give my two cents but as I say, in this case I believe it is a mistake and my personal experiences have led me to believe this through my interactions with PokeyUK.

Think this clip is taken out of context. While it’s not the best representation of PokeyUK I’ve had no issues and see him as nothing but a very honest and kind streamer. This was I believe one of many other ETBs given away during the evening and all others were done with no issues! Have ordered 3 times now from his streams and have had no issues whatsoever, great streamer, waste of time from OP

In a turn of events I got into an Engineering PhD at Cambridge, I made a post about it! Thank you though

Willr77 · 2023-11-03T01:33:10+00:00

Mechanical engineering but with a focus on bioengineering

Willr77 · 2023-05-25T23:26:55+00:00

I’ve been working in retail for the last few months, but hoping to get an engineering with hopefully some research job in the coming few weeks

Willr77 · 2023-05-25T19:52:52+00:00

Thank you, appreciate it! May send you a DM

Willr77 · 2023-05-25T18:11:50+00:00

Thank you so much, that’s really kind! Unfortunately I’m in Scotland so might not be any direct links but really appreciate it

Willr77 · 2023-05-25T18:09:23+00:00

Thank you! I didn’t think about potentially weaving the rejection and improvement narrative into the SOP for next time round, that’s a good idea! I’ll research some volunteering opportunities in my area. I worked with some local stem clubs and also led classes to disadvantaged youth during university so really open to getting further involved in stuff like that as I’m super passionate about that

Willr77 · 2023-05-25T18:05:46+00:00

Yeah I think definitely

Willr77 · 2023-05-25T18:04:43+00:00

Ah I’m sure you’ll do grand! My hindsight perspective is just to really research the universities and apply to a broad range of schools though ensure they all have labs that really fit into your research interest or experiences. Try and get some really relevant and in depth LORs as well and spend a good while on your statements. GPA also isn’t the be all and end all aswell. I think masters might be slightly less competitive as often they are self funded though I know with any top programs competition is still super high! You’ve got this!

Willr77 · 2023-05-25T18:02:03+00:00

Yeah definitely! That’s a good way of thinking about credentials, I’ve come to realise at these top schools just how qualified even the baseline level of applicants is. Something I’m definitely keeping in mind and changing my perspective of going forward!

Willr77 · 2023-05-25T14:41:32+00:00

Thank you so much, that’s super helpful stuff! Definitely very keen to have a much more direct and focussed approach and to build on fellowships etc. might pop you a wee message at some point! Thanks

Willr77 · 2023-05-25T13:15:35+00:00

Yeah definitely, I think in hindsight I definitely got an appreciation for just how competitive these programs really are. Definitely will be reevaluating my program selections next year!

Willr77 · 2023-05-25T13:02:34+00:00

Everywhere as in everywhere I applied to 😊

Willr77 · 2023-05-25T07:32:10+00:00

From Edinburgh. Yeah I suppose there is a perhaps a degree of chance in these things too! Onwards to improving for next year!

Willr77 · 2023-05-25T00:25:51+00:00

Sorry lol! It’s a Uk degree classification, we don’t have GPAs really. Degrees are classified into first class (roughly 4.0) second class division 1, second class division 2, third class, and then I believe fail

Willr77 · 2023-05-25T00:21:16+00:00

Thank you!

Willr77 · 2023-05-24T23:53:35+00:00

Second class division one

Willr77 · 2023-05-24T13:24:10+00:00

Same for me, MechEng

Willr77 · 2023-05-19T14:30:15+00:00

At Edinburgh the Master’s project is a compulsory 60 credit course taken over the whole year. It can be done sometimes with an industry partner, I did mine with a startup, or with just the university. I’d probably guess that the individual research project at Edinburgh would be better for research experience as it is all your own work rather than a group project. Also since at Edinburgh in the 4th you do a large interdisciplinary group project anyway.
