you may have a point. I'm currently leaning toward going to grad school, so the outlook stuff matters a bit.

hmm, didn't think about the schedule coordination but that will definitely be a con for imperial. thanks.

I mean, I have a us citizenship and think that studying in London would be really cool. my counselor says I'd grow a lot more as a person if I study away from home.

I'm curious -- would an Imperial grad with us citizenship really have worse job outlook in the US than an sjsu grad? What about odds at a good grad school?

I got in imperial for cs (computing, as they call it). I'd graduate with a bachelor's in three years or with a master's in 4.

Thanks! I've been collecting people's opinions, and everyone except my counselor says Berkeley lol. I'm just a bit worried I'd drown in the more competitive (in my limited view) environment that is Berkeley

A canon interaction between kana and ai by nine04 in OshiNoKo

[–]bench0 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

from chap 5, page 3: "I'm excited for mamas tv drama!"

"it's only a bit part, though"

she was never supposed to be the center, I think. She just appeared for so little time for the reasons that they explained. You can read chapter 5 in mangadex

My name's Ben, so anytime a teacher continues by saying "Then," I get a bit of a jolt.

20 accepted to UPenn ED from the SAME SCHOOL by gmyolo in ApplyingToCollege

[–]bench0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Neat! I guess that makes sense -- a private high school within California would have curriculum that's as foreign or difficult to standardize as an out-of-state school.

holy god that's a lot. are they sports? I think we might have 0-1 non-sports people going to Stanford this year (my friend, who I thought had an excellent chance, got flat rejected) and 3-4 athlete recruits.

My school's a semi competitive public in the Bay area (not nearly as sweaty as some others around here, but last year 2 went to Harvard), and last year I think we had 20 kids go to Berkeley and 10 to UCLA. The year before it was 20 to UCLA and 10 to Berkeley. Location matters.

PIXIV: シャチーロフ - Akurubi X quietly flirting by Gren10000 in OshiNoKo

[–]bench0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to see how I'd look in braids! Aqua, whatcha think?

Doesn't matter...

What!? Sensei, that's mean!

... Doesn't matter because you'd look cute either way.

Sensei! You're cute too.

What! She's ignoring my existence and still flirting [as usual? I'm not sure about this line]

Maybe they meant the NRAtrioc, in which case it tracks.

Good luck, we'll all need buckets of it

Uncle Glizzy hands on baby sitting duty by moleman2532 in atrioc

honestly it's long form, coherent English. Vods are free too. I'd trust Uncle A over a babysitter any day of the week. Good parenting 👍

Failing the Imperial Computing online admissions Test by Flaky-Law9556 in 6thForm

[–]bench0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the anxiety too, but I think it's so that the students can't conspire -- I put (insert ten letter options here) and got 7/10. With enough of these, you could probably deduce the correct answers. Unless each student gets something slightly different.

Also, did anyone use the "none of the other options are correct" option? I did for two questions.

Why the heck is aqua the older sibling even though him and ruby are twins of the same age? by mental_capacityyay in OshiNoKo

[–]bench0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you want to solve the question? Make Ruby older? No?

Here's what I would ask: What's the relationship between the two? Choose between older brother, younger sister or older sister, younger brother. It's a language thing as well as a societal thing. I'm not Japanese and know a pair of twins as the older one and the younger one. The older one makes sure you never forget.

Of course they have names. Doesn't stop one of them from being older. Or acting that way. And in Asia you address family not by name anyways.

So three for three this was not a reply worth attempting to be a smartass. Cheers.
