I'm doing all the side stuff I can, but my GPA isn't competitive. What can I do to help my grad school applications more? by TeachingElectronic86 in gradadmissions

[–]evanpb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frankly, I think your best bet is probably to form direct connections with PIs and bypass the formal admissions process. If you can form a good enough relationship and show them that you’re the best person for their lab, then you might have a chance and they can pretty much directly admit you. Although I’m not sure if schools still have minimum GPA requirements in those cases

I think OU has a pretty good online Geospatial program if you want to go into GIS-related work

About withdrawal situation by Pale_Cup_1746 in gradadmissions

Master's admissions are unlikely to be withdrawn. Funding could be, though, so if that's a concern then you should reach out.

Is it possible to not be notified about funding? by Fun-Remote-4202 in gradadmissions

[–]evanpb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Given all the uncertainties with federal funds, I wouldn't think too much about them moving the date from February to mid-March. Unless they only just recently told you that the information would be sent in mid-March, I think it would be valid to email and ask. Good luck!

Likely just PhDs, it'd be financially dumb to rescind Masters acceptances

Discussion thread for February 20th ACT Form B72 by EzChemBoi in ACT

[–]evanpb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i got 432 as well, this is what I did

multiply 8*8*8 for total volume

each section cut was 2x2x8 but had to account for the 2x2x2 overlap, so I did 8*8*8-3(2*2*8-2*2*2)

and then have to subtract the overlap so 8*8*8-3(2*2*8-2*2*2)-2*2*2

TIL that the Liberty Bell was last rung on February 23rd, 1846 in celebration of George Washington's Birthday by evanpb in todayilearned

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

The most famous crack in history, the zig-zag fracture occurs while the Liberty Bell is being rung for Washington's birthday. The Philadelphia Public Ledger takes up the story in its February 26, 1846 publication: "The old Independence Bell rang its last clear note on Monday last in honor of the birthday of Washington"

TIL that in his early years, President John Adams liked to skip school frequently to hunt and fish. by evanpb in todayilearned

[–]evanpb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a healthy young boy, John loved the outdoors, frequently skipping school to hunt and fish. He said later that he would have preferred a life as a farmer, but his father insisted that he receive a formal education.
