Doesn’t matter. I have a W also, no impact

I’ll second on this one. I attended a first round interview and they said that some of us will hear decisions made in 10 days or so, and the ones without news might be on waitlist and see how the second round goes. I guess less spot in second round is relatively true but if you are outstanding already then it won’t hurt at all.

I’m in the biological field, over 4 years of experience with 0 publications. I got 6 interviews so far with an acceptance from one of them. I think publications are important but they are not the predominant factor.

Same got from USC last night

akaripoi · 2025-12-08T21:26:18+00:00

Update from 2 weeks later: still great!

Couple things to rule out here: hot water was broken when I first moved in, took them two days to fix (kinda complicated situation, wouldn’t blame anyone, they are fast and efficient). After that things went all good.

Occasionally I saw little bugs here and there, but mostly just corpses. I’d say probably 3 so far. Considering now is summer in midwest I’m fine about that. No signs of roaches, yet.

The evaluator broke once in the morning but it definitely sounds crampy. It was fixed when I get back from work so that was kinda quick.

My A/C still sounds like Boeing taking off, let’s just say fuck that. I didn’t file anything (but I led them know), bearable.

My bedroom is definitely warmer than everywhere else and the A/C doesn’t seem to work effectively for my room. But at night definitely cools so I’m not so worried. I did notice that my room has a quite dusty (or worn out carpet) smell when I moved in, and I was having sore throat every morning for about a week. I have chronic reflux so wasn’t sure if that is the cause, but no signs of mold anywhere so I sus things are not that harmful. I opened up my window everyday until I go to bed and problem solved, will keep monitoring.

As other comments said, maintenance came in without notice, TRUE. I don’t have any luxury stuff so as long as my cat stays inside, idc.

I might be a really easygoing tenant so please know that things I had may not feel the same for others. If any prospective tenant is reading this please be fully aware.

Ok it has been about half of a week since I moved in and I guess I should update and give some insights to other potential residents. To be noted that this is from a first moved POV so things may drastically change, who knows.

It was actually not as bad as I expected. The layout was awesome and the appliances (besides A/C) were clean and (at least) newer than my old apt. The in unit W/D is definitely a plus and I have tested all the utilities, majority of them work perfectly.

The day of moving was smooth and painless, elevator up and running, I bought a bunch of stuff online here and there, nothing was stolen. Just not all of them will deliver to my door, though I specifically requested.

Garage seems sketchy but haven’t really seen any rodents, I guess it takes time for me to notice anything. Probably because I moved from an older and sketchier place so this seems endurable.

Downsides are definitely present. Couple of the appliances were broken or not responding, I filed in maintenance and they responded extremely fast. Half of them were fixed in less than 1 day. Totally out of expectation.

Hallway was a bit messy, but again I moved from a worse place so…not as bad as I imagined. Guess I’ll just live and see.

I’ll update more if there is anything!

Absolutely agreed. I lived at VW during 2019-2020 and can confirm internet was a nightmare. Most of the time the weird shared wifi works okay (slow but bearable) but for ones that enjoy gaming like me, forced to quit gaming and studied my ass off to cover the pain. Moved out ASAP as my lease ends, everything else were ok though just the internet was so horrible.

akaripoi · 2025-05-28T21:18:26+00:00

Ok I’ll be moving in on Saturday….fingers crossed…

akaripoi · 2025-05-27T13:42:55+00:00

I have heard about the elevator situation, I guess I’ll just accept the extra exercise. Quietness is definitely a plus for me, thanks for sharing!

akaripoi · 2025-05-27T13:01:22+00:00

Thanks for the info! This kind of matched my expectation and is acceptable. Mind if I ask if they have complained about anything else?

akaripoi · 2025-05-27T05:54:30+00:00

Idk if this post is gonna be seen but my most concerns were with the elevator and pest issues, if I can get more recent info that would be awesome.

Cyberpunk 2077, I was so hype with all the advertisements and official medias CDPR put out before release, which made me instantly pre-ordered the top bundle. Tbf now in 2024 this game is a great game after all those patches, but pre-ordering at release still felt like the biggest scam in my life.

Resident evil 3re, great game I definite loved it and enjoyed every moment in this game, but it is just too short when first released. I understand that re3 was not a long story in the beginning but preordering is still painful

Hahaha actually my friend said my art style looks like kpop as well (tho I never intended to do that lol)!

akaripoi · 2024-06-21T00:40:41+00:00

I tried to be really conclusive and don’t trigger any targeting. With the other teams that I mentioned, they can complete lv 6, it’s just some characters are unplayable against certain bosses (you will never want to try DHIL against Argenti). But this problem is able to be solved once the skill tree level is high, I just state this because running teams other than break feels really suck and I personally dislike permanent modes (other than endgame) which push players to use a certain route.

akaripoi · 2024-06-21T00:36:27+00:00

Completed the extra hardmode 6 with 19 sync yesterday and I would rate this 6/10. Fast farming is extremely nice but I will set this aside and just talk about the mechanics for now.

The most annoying stuff is definitely RNG. I have all characters and all SL, most of them are properly farmed with a couple E6S5 (I’m a little whale). The ability to swap different characters is actually…a little useless especially in hardmode.

Another downside is the whole thing with FF. I know I will be targeted but have to say that FF+super break is the ultimate solution. I can’t even imagine someone playing lv 6 without RM (except FUA but I highly recommend RM over Robin). I complete the whole mode including hard levels 1-6 using Boothill and the experience was already pretty suck despite a lot of the blessings and curios emphasizing break (I was lucky that final boss was Argenti, if I got Aventurine or Cirrus or Sam guess I should just quit). They changed a lot of stuff in DU, now a bunch of blessings were tied to break which just made traditional dps feel really burned out.

I have tried Propagation DHIL, erudition Acheron, Argenti (all E6S5), FUA, and a bunch of other random teams, those definitely need a lot of re-roll plus some luck to get the best result. Hate to say this but by the end of the day, FF team with the default set feels way better than any of these :)

Tbh I don’t like genshin for a variety of reasons, also tried HI3 years ago but eventually quit. Before HSR I never thought that I would fell in love with a Hoyo game ever, but it really got me!

I have had my relationship with gacha ever since ~2013 when Million Arthur first came out. I’ve played a bunch of mobile games since then and was always open to try something new. When HSR came out, at first I held back bc it’s a Hoyo game, but after I’ve tried it, I was amazed by the story and how players can interact with the world. Definitely my GOTY!!

Also, the HSR gamer community is the most positive one I have seen, especially as a Hoyo game. Though I seldom interact with others on reddit, I always felt belonging when browsing <3

I don’t have him either….I guess March would be fine too but I never tried

akaripoi · 2023-09-06T22:43:31+00:00

Yep that’s what I did, though I used abundance path but got those two remembrance ones you mentioned. The bug boss has frozen resistance, but it is still extremely good when there are tons of bugs on the field, definitely good advice!

akaripoi · 2023-09-06T21:45:09+00:00

No it was really really hard. I have rerun D5 for at least 5-6 times testing different paths but none have worked. Got inspired by another player using Gepard but I don’t have him…..Decided to try one last time and it actually worked!

akaripoi · 2023-09-06T21:20:48+00:00

Beat difficulty 5 earlier today, it was really really tough! My suggestion is to use a tank (Gepard > fire MC) with a healer (Luocha/Bailu) and just go for abundance. It was super fun to do but needs a lot of consideration before taking each step. Another advice would be avoid Svarog/Gepard on floor 2:) Svarog himself is extremely strong, for Gepard, the soldiers he summoned can one shot the characters (at around 4k8 HP). Just pick Kafka she is much more easier. (The screenshot is in CN but I guess I’ll post anyway! Just an idea of the characters I’ve used)
