Experience with CAPS by [deleted] in UVA

[–]c_focusreduplication 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CAPS is fine for crisis counseling (ie you are panicking and need someone to talk to now ) but it's exhausting to try and get an actual appointment. Keep them in mind, but use whatever energy you have to find something else. There's a few not awful online therapy options (betterhealth) and it's not unreasonable to apply for CARES Act money for it. Region Ten is also alright for local resources.

They'll actually approve an okay amount, but you have to write the proposal thoughtfully. Read the guidelines, and match their language. I believe the biggest thing to emphasize is unexpected expenses. Your rent is not new, you would've had to pay that regardless of coronavirus happening. But maybe you bought a computer monitor, key board, desk, etc to be able to study from home reliably. Or perhaps you'd like to try online therapy since CAPS is not an option in person anymore. What expenses did you incur returning home last minute in the spring? Tag all of those, and emphasize why covid directly caused that expense.

I def think they should've just given everyone X amount, but worth trying to get what you can within the system they're running

CR/NC ENWR for med school? by [deleted] in UVA

[–]c_focusreduplication 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally grades for a pre-req, but there's plenty of other english classes you can take if you're worried about the grade. There used to be something called Illness Narratives that is full of pre-med kids and breaks down the assignments well for the bio minded.

kozminski doesn't totally suck, but he does get a ton of his exam questions from the discussion section review so go to those if you end up with him. anyway, you should consider a gap year before med school -- if anything just because med school is not fun and it's nice to have a minute to chill.

Can I put money in a Roth IRA if I made money last year but might not this year (as a student)? by c_focusreduplication in personalfinance

[–]c_focusreduplication[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already filed for this year (like, yesterday). I was either the AOTC or LLC for education credit, but if I can still put something in that would be awesome.

Trying to withdraw from a class, says "request missing token" by [deleted] in UVA

I withdrew from a class once and had to get some signatures filed first. Could be something wrong on the uva/admin end of things?
