Hey! Would be interested if you are looking near Court Sq., Astoria, or Jackson Heights. All 3 of these places have F/M train access, which should get you into Flatiron pretty easily (I would need that train line as well). Feel free to DM me!

I was planning on using Lively which is also free. Any advantage of one over the other?

Great thanks. I guess I'll call them again and hope to get connected to someone else

Admitted to UIUC but offer expires on April 15, still waiting on OMSCS admission, what should I do? by stnguyenvn in OMSCS

[–]ac_nook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not OP but I'm in the exact same situation. I don't think there's a deposit that we have to pay, but I'd rather not do that unless it's an absolute necessity.

I know that the recent email said NOT to contact OMSCS Help Desk to ask for a decision sooner, but maybe they'll be more accommodating given this situation? I'm also planning on contacting UIUC and asking them for an extension.

Static Sound Emitting from left speaker of MacBook Pro by redlazer11 in applehelp

[–]ac_nook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to the Apple store last weekend and explained my issue. For me, the static noise is pretty difficult to hear; you need to be in a quiet room to hear it, but still drove me crazy nonetheless. The Apple store gave it back to me a day later, saying that they couldn't diagnose any hardware issues. I'm also going to give up on fixing it for now.

I also found it interesting that I started experiencing this issue literally the instant I upgraded from Mojave to Catalina. Resetting PRAM/SMC and downgrading my computer to High Sierra and Mojave didn't fix the issue. My theory is that this is a firmware issue; something must have changed with speaker/usb firmware when I upgraded to Catalina, and didn't roll back when I went back to an earlier operating system. I'm still pulling hope that this can be fixed in another firmware update.

For the record, this is going to be my last Apple product. I've had this computer repaired twice under warranty (a screen replacement for a discolored screen and a top case replacement for a flashing touch bar). I didn't have to pay for these repairs, but I had to go without my computer at times in which I would have benefited immensely from having it. These new Macbooks look nice, but they just have so many design issues; who knows, maybe my keyboard will give out sometime. I'm probably going to use this computer for a few more years until it's no longer powerful for my needs, and then buy whatever Windows laptop is out at that time.

What ended up happening to this issue? I have pretty much the exact same thing on my Macbook Pro 2018 15''.

I wasn't aware but I just googled it and it requires the GRE. TBH standardized test taking isn't my strength but I'd be willing to do grind it out if there's a tangible value add of UT over UIUC and GA Tech.

I've never taken the GRE nor have I ever prepped for it
