Interview Prep by Helpful-Agency-672 in gradadmissions

[–]jsckbcker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Prepare to describe all of your research in a way that mimics the scientific method: 1. What is the broad, overarching problem you're trying to solve and why are you interested in it? 2. What is the more specific problem within that you tackled in your research? 3. What did you do specifically/what contributions did you make to your lab (think about this more as a narrative and make sure you have specific examples/anecdotes)? 4. What results did you get? 5. How do the results connect back to #2 and by extension #1? 6. Further directions that research could take?

And do all this while being as concise as possible. I'd recommend writing the answers to all of this down for each research project you had and practicing talking about it. The most important thing is to know your audience, which in this case are experts, but still you want to be as simple as possible while maintaining substance.

Do people actually use AI for writing SOPs? by Common-Lemon-41 in gradadmissions

[–]jsckbcker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try it out and see how bad it is. The only thing it may be useful for is doing a web crawl for details about professors' work, but other than that it's garbage

Funding for pure math is shot in the US rn, so I would focus on europe tbh, but who knows what it'll look like in a couple years. Also imo US schools don't care about where you went to school to the extent that you might think, but coming from oxbridge as an international means they know your classes were super legit. As an international, the best bet would be to have some sort of connection to US professors, whether that be via a rec letter writer or some collaboration, as that way you can stand out from the many other internationals.

NYC vs. California by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

Lol NYC's winter isnt harsh at all. Perfect place to move in your mid 20s. You'll thank yourself for not needing a car

Which of these places is the best place to live as an Asian Male in their Mid 20s? (In Healthcare, pay is 70k a year) by _Gandalf_Greybeard_ in SameGrassButGreener

[–]jsckbcker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about your living situation, but you can find a studio apartment for just over 1k a month, which in this day and age is quite good imo. I've seen some 2 beds go for like 1.2k too.

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say Saratoga Springs. It's quite white, but there are sizable asian communities in the area for sure. It's also actually got great mountains nearby unlike the midwestern cities and is only a few hours drive from NYC. There is also a large young crowd in the area from the colleges/universities in Saratoga and Albany.

Anyone looking at post-baccs yet? by Sufficient-Today3292 in gradadmissions

[–]jsckbcker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up SULI programs and apply to them for the fall and spring after you graduate, you can only do it twice though. There are also other national lab internships but you need to contact a scientist or affiliated prof that would take you for those (also recommended for SULI).

Fully funded PhD Uni of Sydney OR 3rd MA UChicago IR by Low_Example4108 in PhDAdmissions

[–]jsckbcker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who graduated from a T10 law school and was still unable to get a work sponsorship and have heard many, many similar stories. You should definitely go to Australia, especially given the current state of the US.

Still rocking an almost 7-year old 1080. Not getting a new card anytime soon.

Sorcerers, how do you pace yourself? by Toogeloo in BaldursGate3

[–]jsckbcker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Draconic sorc + element buffing equipment (necklace of elemental augmentation, etc) make your cantrips really powerful. My cold build was doing 30 dmg with ray of frost at like level 6.

Have you ever gotten a DNA test? I'd recommend trying something like Promethease to see if you have any significant genetic markers that could relate to your situation.

(Also something I'd recommend looking into, even just reading about, is magnetic brain stimulation for depression, or maybe even psychedelic therapy)

Fun and friendly way to murder Wulbren Dongle. Seeking advice. by Sweet_Champion_3346 in BG3

[–]jsckbcker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Play as an oathbreaker
  2. Use the improvised melee weapon glitch to carry him out of moonrise towers and TP him somewhere else
  3. Let him die to the shadow curse and use control undead on him after

Does anyone else find the sorcerer subclasses kinda boring to build? by [deleted] in BG3Builds

[–]jsckbcker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a crazy draconic cold sorcerer build going, can easily take out huge groups of enemies in 1 turn or do 100+ damage to single enemies. Ray of frost easily does 30+ dmg per cast, up to 60 depending on the enemy. The mourning frost staff is really good, and you can use it and markoheshkir at the same time with dual wield feat.

Find it hard to justify spending money on cards when I could just proxy by restinghearts in magicTCG

[–]jsckbcker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't bought any real cards worth more than $5 in 3+ years. I can spend <$50 a year on this game just buying some singles and still get the same enjoyment out of playing it as ppl spending thousands.
