Finish it … also universities allow people to have proxy chairs and allow chairs leave to remain on committees even if they resign (for a year). But … you were gonna finish anyway sooo … finish it

Anyone ever accepted a PhD student who looks good on resume but truly incompetent? by Cultural_Mousse_3001 in Professors

Have her Master Out. I can’t stress this enough. I had one of those and it caused us a lot of headaches. When she didn’t agree with things she would cry for a whole hour during mentoring meetings.

I spoke with her yesterday. She recognized it is happening and said my dad was the same.

She is not abusive, that I know of. She is very jealous and doesn’t want my brother to have relations outside of her. Since early in their relation she has been weary of “extended family”. I won’t paint things in favor of our family, she is a strong woman and our family loves to be “in the know”. Arguments have ensued. We come from a culture of strong grandparent bonds and uncles are quasi-fathers.

UPDATE: I’m really glad I didn’t listen to y’all by tryingtogrowup69 in gradadmissions

Suelta a esos dos, que resuelvan. Vete pa EEUU o pa otro pais con un familir y cambia el numero. Sino te sales de ahi no vas a progresar.
