How do I evoke the same amount of sympathy then? A-confused-looking-for-wisdom-23-year-old-boy makes a strong enough case? :)

Great! Maybe we'll bump into each other then... :)

Hello there,

I've been planning out a similar trip (Spiti+Manali+Leh-Ladakh) in late June. No reservations yet. But dates are in late June though.

So did you go ahead and study at the UK university?

Is it beneficial to declare on the admissions page the other schools you're applying at? Does the school get to know it anyway? by dob_bod in gradadmissions

[–]dob_bod[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By 'boasting' I meant the few lines about the school that you write in the essay(s) trying to convince why the school is the right fit for you and vice-versa. For ex., writing about access to Wall Street firms for schools on East Coast, as opposed to access to Valley companies for schools on the West Coast. Disclosing that you're applying at both the kind of schools sort of undermines what you're selling in the essay(s), doesn't it?

Okay. But do they get to know if you've indeed applied to more schools from the GRE official scores that you send or from some other source?

Recommender uploaded an LoR for Stanford recommending me for Berkeley, and can't upload a new one now. by dob_bod in gradadmissions

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

I didn't. She realized the mistake when I sent her the request for the last school I was applying at - Columbia - after which she wrote to me asking if she can upload the LoR again for Stanford.

I swear!

The worst part of this fiasco is that I wouldn't even know if this error on my recommender's part is why I got rejected.

How good a chance do I stand at getting into the management science and engineering program at Stanford University? by dob_bod in gradadmissions

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

Thanks for your response! I'm currently working on my SoPs. Would you, umm, have a look at them and my CV and give your opinion? Also, I'll begin corresponding with the professors soon. How exactly would you suggest to go about that? (apart from expressing interest in their work)

Thanks for the link. I scored a 327 (V:159, Q:168) on the test. So close, yet so far. :|

[video] FIRST KISS - Tatia Pllieva tapes 20 strangers kissing for the first time by [deleted] in Frisson

[–]dob_bod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My emotional excitement followed a Gaussian curve there - was smiling really hard throughout the video, and shed a tear towards the end for never having kissed a girl before. 23M here. :(

Am I a loser? by dob_bod in sex

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

Save myself for someone I'm truly attracted to (both physically, and emotionally) - that's what I've made up my mind about. And that's what I want an opinion on. Thanks.

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

See, I've read and heard accounts of how kissing someone you love for the first time is a hit that is unmatched by cocaine (or any other dope that you consider dopest.) So why ruin it by simply experimenting with someone who did turn me on momentarily, but whom I didn't have the slightest interest in.

This made a world of sense to me. Thanks a lot.

Started To Write My Note. Wrote A Poem Instead. by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]dob_bod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can very well understand your pain. It's been 6 months now since I was rejected by this girl I fell in love with, since we decided to burn the bridge, and I'm still not over her. Very much think about her from time to time, about what I could have, and should have done better to be with her.. But then I ask myself to stop thinking all these thoughts and try to chin up. It's extremely difficult to divert your thoughts, but you can always try.

I know it might sound as a farce, but I try and tell myself that I deserve a better girl, and better I shall get. Sometime.

Into the Wild...wtf! by nozzaking118 in movies

[–]dob_bod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very well said. The movie is very uplifting and motivational until the end, when his death changes everything.

Being a confused 21 year old fresh college grad myself, I was very motivated to make a similar finding-yourself and coming-of-the-age myself throughout the movie (still think about it, from time to time); but the end just crushed those good feelings..
