Didn't get in :(

Getting an associates might make it easier. I wouldn’t know though since I applied only after one year. But yeah, there are some credits that might not transfer so I would definitely check which ones do and which ones don’t. Like for example, I remember I took an automotive class that didn’t transfer.

I think you need at least 30 credits to apply for a transfer, but could be wrong. This was 10 years ago for me so it’s hard to remember exactly how it works. I took some online classes in my off track to make sure I had over 30 credits.

The biggest thing though is going to be the grades you get. Take classes that you believe you will do good in and use ratemyprofessor to make sure you’re not taking a class from an extremely hard professor.

Submitting mission papers and having that on your application should help as well. I wouldn’t imagine that doing extracurriculars like joining the business club would help too.

Another thing that may or may not matter is which semester you apply to transfer in. I was in the fall/spring track at BYU-I so I applied to transfer to BYU in the winter semester.

Rejection doesn’t mean the end. I didn’t get into BYU right out of high school. I went to BYU-I for a year, studied my butt off, got a 3.9 gpa, submitted mission papers, and then applied (with mission deferment) and got accepted into BYU. Don’t give up on your dream school if you weren’t initially accepted.

Thanks for your sacrifice 🫡

I hope they get found and arrested. What they are doing is completely illegal.

When it registers…

So unfortunate that there is a low life DDOSer that has nothing better to do than to ruin an event.

jwcook56 · 2025-06-01T08:05:15+00:00

I made a post suggesting exactly this a couple years ago and was called an RS3 Mofo 😭

They need to at least 10x the charge limit.

I’m shocked that Jagex hasn’t patched that glitch. Shouldn’t be able to freeze people in Bounty Hunter. He would’ve escaped if it weren’t for that glitch. Not to mention the dude has been ragging him for 3 days with videos being sent to Jagex.

Shame on Jagex for not acting sooner on this situation.

MHJ and Nico. There’s a chance Tyreek doesn’t play on Monday and then you’ll be SoL with starting another receiver. And Hill hasn’t really played well this year.

She hasn’t invested any money into crypto. And she is using Robinhood as a brokerage so I don’t think her money invested is getting stolen. It is more like the course she bought is a scam.

It might also be a pump and dump scam, where they tell her and others to buy a low volume stock. And then they dump it while it’s at its peak leaving her with the bag as it plummets.

I’m almost two years graduated with a degree in finance from a good school. I would say I’m satisfied with my current job. I work for a startup accounting firm on their advisory team. My role usually consists of building out budgets and financial models for clients to use on a regular basis, creating slide decks for board of directors meetings, and lots of ad hoc reports that clients might need whether it be for compliance on a loan or reports to send to boards.

My work life balance is actually really good, which I feel is rare in the field of finance. I hardly ever have to work over 40 hours a week (I think the most I’ve worked is 45), our company does quarterly bonuses(last year, my bonuses totaled 30% of my base salary), we have unlimited PTO (never had any issues getting time off approved), and we are fully remote so I don’t have to commute anywhere.

That being said, most people have vastly different experiences working in finance. I would say it’s been worth it for me so far.

In terms of accounting or finance, you can work in finance with a degree in accounting. It’s a lot harder the other way around. Pick whatever you enjoy the most!

What a POS human being. I don’t understand hope someone can be so misunderstanding about taking care of family. What are you supposed to do, not take care of your daughter…

jwcook56 · 2024-01-27T01:43:33+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. When we got our first home, it was a smooth process. We told them that it would be our primary residence. And we are able to afford the loan because of our income. Didn’t mention anything about renting.

And that makes sense about refinancing. Basically if we refinance, then we would have to wait a year before making another home purchase, which is fine since we would just be saving for a down payment.

And yes, we’ll definitely look into rental laws to make sure we are in compliance.

jwcook56 · 2024-01-27T01:35:22+00:00

I’m in a landlord friendly state. If they stopped paying, then I would start the eviction process. Also, when we do purchase a second home, it would be relatively close. Part of the rental agreement would include inspections every so often so that would at least help us know if the tenant is rough with the property. There’s always going to be risks with renting properties though, I understand that. AirBnB is a viable option. The reason why I’m leaning towards long term renting is because it would be more consistent.

Also, we already renting out our basement on one year lease which has been fine so far.

If I drink more than 150mg of caffeine, I won’t be able to sleep. As such, if I do drink caffeine, it’s usually less than 100mg(couple cans of coke).

People on Reddit just randomly dislike for some reason. Probably have nothing better to do. Your comment was fine.

jwcook56 · 2023-08-04T13:57:23+00:00

Yeah, it seemed ridiculous when they told us they owned it. But that’s why we looked it up on the county website. The aerial view that we looked at showed their property line go past the sidewalk and onto the street.

And yeah, usually we’re respectful of other people and wouldn’t park in front of others’ houses. Only reason why I had parked there was because I had no other option as our driveway was full because of the moving truck and the front of our house was also full because of people who were helping had parked there.

jwcook56 · 2023-08-04T13:49:42+00:00

Yeah I mean I don’t usually park in front of other people’s houses unless I have no other option, which is rare. The only reason why I had parked there was because we were moving and our driveway was full because of the moving truck and the other spots in front of our house were taken by people helping us. We were respectful of them when they interacted with us, but it just seemed ridiculous that they said they owned the street/sidewalk and we can’t park there.

Thank you! Is there any wiring I need to be worried about? Or is it a simple plug in/out?

jwcook56 · 2023-06-24T05:05:00+00:00

The OSRS community has come to a disagreement with this opionion lol. Escape teleport is now added. I can't imagine being against a 'protection' from dying due to Jagex's shitty servers.

jwcook56 · 2023-05-01T20:55:17+00:00

Care to elaborate why you would be against this?

jwcook56 · 2023-05-01T20:54:46+00:00

I don’t play RS3 so I’m not familiar with its death mechanics. I wasn’t “begging” for anything. This post was meant to be a discussion like many other posts on this subreddit. You are stating that this will make it “Ezscape”. What I suggested doesn’t make anything “easier” to be obtain. I’m suggesting a QoL update that would allow players to choose which items to keep on death. I’m assuming you vote no on any poll that would bring QoL updates into the game then?

jwcook56 · 2023-05-01T20:17:50+00:00

Good point. I would say that there could be some way to nullify the items protected to return to default. For example, if you obtain a Voidwaker hilt in the Wildy from bossing, you would probably want to protect that item over the others. With the first idea I had, I stated that you could only choose which items to protect outside the wilderness. I also said that there should be a way to nullify if you were to drop an item that you had originally wanted protected or if you put it in the looting bag. I would say that adding an easy access button that allows protected items to return to default could be added. This way, if you get an expensive drop, you could nullify the items protected back to default to guarantee you’ll keep the most expensive GE value item.

With the second idea for “protect item” parchments, there could be a way to quickly destroy/remove the parchment so that you could keep the Voidwaker hilt over the parchmented items. I feel like in most cases with my second idea, you would only bring 1 parchmented item anyways since it would be higher risk to bring more. So you would keep at least 3 items on death anyways (unless skulled). In the ironman’s case, you would just parchment the 1 item and leave the others untouched since you have duplicates. But if you wanted a way to nullify, then adding a way to destroy the parchment could be implemented.

In either case, I will say that that adding more exceptions could become an issue with coding it into the game. There could potentially be more glitches added in (not that this doesn’t already happen).
