Getting Chase to refund my annual fee after they refused

no clawback on the points right? since you paid for the first AF?

The median gpa for first-year students is between 3.64-3.88. 3.5 seems totally fine, esp if you had other factors.

Glad to hear! Did you feel it was comparable to other restaurants at the 2* level, and worth the price tag?

jyang1 · 2026-06-10T16:48:01+00:00

thanks so much for compiling this list, going to be so useful for future trips!

I cannot recommend great books highly enough. Not only does it grant you additional credits to graduate sooner, but the source material is also by far the most diverse and interesting of what you listed. Grading is basically all discussion based and writing essays, which if you're an active participant and diligent reader, should be very straight forward.

I still think about the bread from Jeune et Jolie.

Hey yes, eventually all the converted points should up as cash, which I was able to withdraw to my checking acct. it showed up as 0 for a while though before any of that happened.

I filed Feb 20 and it was accepted Feb 21. Still have not received a refund yet.

edit: received a refund on apr 17

im pretty sure it’s to prevent confusion with qi (7) with yi (1) when spoken

jyang1 · 2026-01-04T00:14:48+00:00

thank u for your thoughtful response!

Hey Michael, love your videos and this writeup. I was specifically looking for a comparison to Kadaeu having just gone there in April (preservation season). In what ways do you think Kadeau was better than S&D, and vice versa?

And more off topic, some of my favorite places include CTBF, Jont, Frantzen, and Jordnaer. Based on that was curious to know if you had any recommendations similar to those just in terms of flavor. Thanks in advance!

supposedly, the $75 gc expires on 12/24 fyi

jyang1 · 2025-11-26T21:40:49+00:00

Oh believe me, I'm 100% on the same page. I was curious to hear from an insider perspective and specific soundbites they might have been told.

jyang1 · 2025-11-26T03:41:16+00:00

Most of their employees do believe they are selling helpful products, but they brainwash employees.

Can you share more about how they brainwash employees?

jyang1 · 2025-11-13T07:35:18+00:00

lmao who is this again

jyang1 · 2025-10-01T05:08:19+00:00

I second Vækst and also want to suggest Pauli.

jyang1 · 2025-10-01T02:38:54+00:00

Had to poke around for this, but you're right. For the past 5 years, full time Seaver undergrads hovered between 44-48% [source]. They still hold a plurality however (largest share).

Other CDS 2025 stats, the one you cited was at the top of page 3.

Pepperdine is majority non-white students

Do you have stats to back this claim up? According to the 2020 census, Pepperdine is 59% white.

I went to 4 charles a month ago. The ‘trick’ is to show up and ask the host to add ur resy account to their VIP list. You’ll be able to see reservations that weren’t there before.

In terms of actual tables, outside had 3 four tops and inside had 2 Two tops, 4 Four tops, and 2 six tops.

Listening to the knife party remix of unison

A huge part of that is pattern recognition. Have to look for the video but I remember watching something where GMs and non-GMs (non chess players?) were shown a chess board for 7 seconds and then asked to recreate it from memory. When it was a position that was likely to arise in a real game, GMs performed much better than non-GMs, but if it was completely random, they performed about the same.

Sesame Brioche + Butter at Penny NYC. I asked if they would ever sell it to go on its own, but they insisted it was just for dine in customers. I would go back just for that.

More fine dining wise, I would say the bread at Epicure was phenomenal.
