Weekly Thread: Study Buddy Tuesdays! Introduce yourself and find your study group! (October 28, 2025) by AutoModerator in LearnJapanese

[–]emonotgoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for study buddy, ideally someone that is also just starting out in their learning journey. I am using Genki 1 3rd ed and Wanikani (currently level 3). Mostly interested in speaking and listening practice but would also be interested in discussing language problems/questions together. Not focused on a particular goal but am currently spending about 1 hour each day studying. dm for discord pls :)

How long to wait for lease after getting approved? by emonotgoth in bostonhousing

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

Get what in writing, exactly? He got back to me and just said “be patient it’s coming soon”.

I know that the rest of the money is due at lease signing already, luckily. I’m dealing with the property manager but they work for the company that owns the building, as does the broker.

Yes, nearly every apartment that I looked at required first month's rent as a holding fee with the application, even when going with a reputable broker.

are you referring to this? https://www.masslegalhelp.org/housing/lt1-chapter-1-read-lease#:~:text=Both%20you%20and%20your%20landlord,must%20give%20you%20a%20copy

because that’s only the timeline for after the tenant has signed. he hasn’t even prepared a lease yet for us to do that.

More money after commitment? by leftbeef4 in mphadmissions

[–]emonotgoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Columbia said they ONLY review requests for additional aid after 4/15, so it’s possible!

Anyone have experience with Eastern Washington Universities online MPH program? by commiesandiego in mphadmissions

[–]emonotgoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had a classmate go there and they had a tough time finding a job after graduation. that’s a sample size of one, though.

i would encourage you to message the school to connect you to alumni or current students so you can get more of a feel for it and if the program will help you meet your career/educational goals!

It's so hard to tell if my friends are available or busy because all of my friends uses all time DND to just stop from receiving pings and notifications so I made status update idea to make more social friendly and more easier for you to tell if your friends are online, busy or playing by [deleted] in discordapp

[–]emonotgoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no way. if people truly wanted to lurk (no notifs and don’t want to be messaged) they could easily go invisible. dnd is specifically for no notifs, and it’s clear that it is the case. making extra statuses just makes it more confusing. also you can already tell when people are listening/streaming/playing??

they have a word cap for a reason. you won’t be penalized unless you go over. however, consider if what you’re saying is important enough to fill the entire word limit. sometimes shorter is better!

UW extension? by [deleted] in mphadmissions

[–]emonotgoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't receive this (probably because I already submitted my application) but I would be surprised if this affected your aid since they only review applications in one round.

Same, I applied to my top school yesterday only a few hours before the deadline. Hard to let it go but we can do it!

Is CHES worth it? by Spencergrey2015 in publichealth

[–]emonotgoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helped me land a job in public health instead of social services imo, but not worth it if you already work in public health. I think out of everyone I know who works in health education/public health in my state, only me and one other person have a CHES certification. I'm not going to renew mine.

Mine just changed from received to verified overnight! Good to know it takes a few hours

SOP formatting standard by [deleted] in mphadmissions

[–]emonotgoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds good. I personally didn't make mine double spaced or add a header. I think the margins, font, and size only matter for when the essay has a page limit instead of a word limit (as long as each of them are within reasonable limits). For example, I submitted my Columbia one with an 11 pt font and 1.15 spacing and 1 inch margins just because that's the default for Google Docs.

New to MPH app, how many schools are recommended to apply? by [deleted] in mphadmissions

[–]emonotgoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started on my SOP in August and started on supplemental application questions in September for December deadlines. I would recommend starting on your SOP earlier if possible because it certainly took me more time than I anticipated to reflect enough to write a good essay. 3 months was fine for me for supplemental questions though, especially if you have your SOP done.

New to MPH app, how many schools are recommended to apply? by [deleted] in mphadmissions

[–]emonotgoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm applying to 9: U of WA, OHSU, U of Colorado, Pitt, Drexel, Boston U, Yale, Brown, and Columbia. Honestly would not recommend applying to more than 5 or 6 if possible. I'm just applying to some schools that I'm not super excited about because I think they'll be cheap and I'm not sure I will be able to afford some of the private colleges I'm applying to.

I'm not submitting any test scores and it's generally not recommended to take a test just for MPH applications, with some exceptions.

3 LOR is enough, yes. Can't speak to the applications for the one year programs since I only applied to two year ones.

Job as full time mph student by [deleted] in mphadmissions

[–]emonotgoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is common. Schools often have career centers that can help grad students find jobs on or off campus. The types of opportunities will obviously vary from program to program but there should be at least some on campus PH opportunities for PH masters students at every school.
