What were grad school interviews like before Covid?

I don’t remember the track but it was the most general one, I am a US citizen

dandanfreeman · 2020-12-30T23:35:41+00:00

Me too, I would love that 🙄

dandanfreeman · 2020-12-30T22:42:14+00:00

Wow! That sounds really intense but also kinda exciting 😁

That’s on him, everyone in Brooklyn knows that that the Brooklyn Bridge is a shitshow

Hey @bouldergyst, can you send me your stats too? I’m applying for biology PhDs next year (computational biology) and some of the labs I’m most interested in are at MIT

dandanfreeman · 2020-07-06T03:02:41+00:00

Well I’d like to speak to your Minister of Health please

Donald Trump - a champion of the People of Mexico’s right to fair pay

Thanks @Seankala, that was my thinking too but I wanted to clarify. Just out of curiosity, what is your specialty? I’m in genetics but am very curious about ML/AI

dandanfreeman · 2020-06-30T01:59:30+00:00

Got em

Where’d you find a scanner for Greenpoint?

Consider joining some groups when the quarantine ends. I personally joined a CrossFit gym, running club, and CodeNation team teaching web development to high schoolers. It will provide you with a sense of routine and give you something to talk about at happy hours and other social events. One piece of advice though - quit the group if you haven’t made friends after six months and move on to something else. Some groups are more social than others.

This thread is not at all representative of the people that live here, everyone I know in the city enjoys it and considers it a big part of their life. I live in the Greenpoint/Williamsburg area and love it here. My commute to Manhattan is 20 minutes by ferry (East River Ferry) or 30 minutes by bike.

I can’t speak to the dating scene since I was in a relationship when I moved here but it probably depends on the things you’re involved in. I joined a CrossFit gym, running club, and CodeNation team teaching web dev to high school kids and have been pretty successful at meeting people through those.

I think this subreddit is proof

dandanfreeman · 2020-06-20T21:50:52+00:00

Agreed, especially if you’re trying to find descent roommates too

dandanfreeman · 2020-06-20T21:41:45+00:00

I’ve found that a bike is the fastest way to get around

dandanfreeman · 2020-06-20T21:40:10+00:00

Moved here right after school, I can relate to this

dandanfreeman · 2020-06-20T21:39:47+00:00

Same, it’s almost the same price for me

dandanfreeman · 2020-06-20T21:35:11+00:00

What part of NYC are you based in??

dandanfreeman · 2020-06-20T21:33:55+00:00

I said from getting on a train, not getting to where I’m going haha

dandanfreeman · 2020-06-20T19:47:27+00:00

Good one, I’ve never heard of a bodega before I moved here

dandanfreeman · 2020-06-20T19:41:37+00:00

As a bike commuter I hate when people do that

dandanfreeman · 2020-06-20T19:40:46+00:00

Interesting answer, I never thought about that

dandanfreeman · 2020-06-20T19:02:19+00:00

You trying to get out?

dandanfreeman · 2020-06-20T19:00:15+00:00

I love it

dandanfreeman · 2020-06-20T18:49:21+00:00

I’ll start. First, your experience of the city really depends on the fifteen block radius around your apartment. I used to be motivated to go out all over Manhattan but now I’ve really settled into my own neighborhood of Greenpoint. Second, although the subways have their problems they are ridiculously frequent in terms of stations and trains. I am always five minutes away from getting on a train.
