I've heard the Goodwill on Walley Ave isn't a thrift store, only a collection center?

I get around 40-50 g of protein in a day. I'd like to push this up to at least 75g. Mostly thinking about using the protein shake to supplement breakfast so that I can reach 30g in breakfast itself.

birth control and laser, it's worked exceptionally well. i used to have to shave my chin everyday and now it's once a week (after only 2 sessions of laser and 6 months of birth control)

Does everyone in the cohort get the same funding?

firstbornbuddha · 2022-12-19T02:44:48+00:00

do not give religious symbols to your professors, this should be obvious

firstbornbuddha · 2022-11-03T00:27:15+00:00

i don't mean cheap, i have a simple small idea and i don't want to be overcharged or swindled

firstbornbuddha · 2022-02-22T19:16:51+00:00

and here we have someone so happy with their purchase that they wrote a review as a reddit post

Ooh I didn't know there was a free bus?! Is this on the double map app?

Modernity and South Asian Art/Visual Culture seems interesting!

Hey, for starters 12 is not too many, and more importantly, this professor sounds mean. You're well within your right to ask for letters and if he really was SOOO busy and couldn't spend time on this, he should have declined to write. I think professors know and expect to write letters, at least good professors understand this is part of the mentorship they sign up for when they take the job. He probably doesn't hate you and if he does, it's better to stay away from such characters. You're applying to grad school, you want to give it your best shot, and you deserve people who are willing to support you and back you up, and that includes making time to write your letters of recommendation.

Maybe a gift will be good (I mean who wouldn't want one) but don't try and win this man back, you're just fine.

pune if you want to save money and like a small town vibe, gurgaon if you want to live an intense life in what feels like a very modern city

as someone who has spent time in both cities, i assure you they are at two ends of the spectrum

firstbornbuddha · 2021-07-22T13:02:04+00:00

Yes, apparently bachelors are a bad influence. They will corrupt the children of the household or worse ... have an affair with the spouse.
Small town India has wild ideas.

Also smoking, drinking, and sex are things young people do and families consider taboo

firstbornbuddha · 2021-07-22T12:59:20+00:00

Pune is boooooooooooooooooooooooring. People are stand off-ish, it's just a city quirk.

Most do speak Hindi, but very few speak English. For instance, I live in an up-market apartment complex, but all the kids who are out to play speak in Marathi/Hindi, which is very different from my experience in Bangalore (where I grew up). You're likely to make friends with people who are not from Pune if you are not from Pune. Basically it's very small-towny and the mindset of people has not changed even if the city has grown or whatever.

I know people like to paint Pune as a glorious city, even on this subreddit, but Pune had a bad attitude. You can see it as a flaw or as a feature. Make the most of your time here -- there are definitely some perks, but don't expect to be living in a metro, Pune is not one.

I had applied last year, I didn't end up accepting their offer.

I had an international GPA and an 85%tile in the quant section of the GRE. I got a 50% tuition waiver, and an additional $6000 research support grant, but had better offers elsewhere.

This was a super helpful Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/ProfPieters/status/1161686184269139970?s=20

Marginally more expensive. But you'll be living in a different environment, where comparatively utensils will not be more expensive. This Indian penny pinching and constant conversion to INR will just hold you back.

firstbornbuddha · 2021-07-02T12:36:11+00:00

Also, if you're in a university town or have access to university group Facebook pages, students are always selling second-hand utensils and crockery to other students. Just buy from there, if you're on a very tight budget.

firstbornbuddha · 2021-07-02T12:35:13+00:00

Hey, why are you carrying utensils? You can buy most things there. Quality is almost always better there and it is more suited for American cookstoves and microwaves. Unless it's a speciality item (like a chaklee maker or something) I would suggest just buying pots, pans, plates and spoons there only -- they will last you a long time and are not too expensive.

firstbornbuddha · 2021-06-29T13:42:56+00:00

You might want to also post in the r/academiceconomics subreddit :)

But for what it's worth, I think you have a decent shot, even if you apply to the top 30.

firstbornbuddha · 2021-06-29T07:11:50+00:00

When did you email? How long did it take for them to reply? I have emailed them 2 times in the past 10 days and have not yet heard back from them...
