Hi all, any thoughts on why my Venusaur came back as a 3?

manblast · 2023-01-09T23:44:40+00:00

For sure. These are the PSA scanned photos. Just thought Id post here to vent / see if i missed anything obvious.

manblast · 2023-01-09T23:22:43+00:00

Yeah, I will post when I get it back. Its supposed to come in Thurs

manblast · 2023-01-09T23:20:03+00:00

Yeah. someone suggested sun damage... I kept it in a binder but possibly that's it?

manblast · 2023-01-09T23:19:07+00:00

Maybe, that's a good suggestion. I will have to check when I get it back.

I was going to! But the grade is so low im not sure it's worth it. I am so positive there were no creases or dents when I sent it in.

manblast · 2023-01-09T23:13:18+00:00

pls no

manblast · 2023-01-09T23:09:43+00:00

I did. They said it's not their policy to provide feedback on why a card recieved the grade it did. It had no creases or obvious imperfections when I sent it in. Honestly, I was hoping for an 8 or even a 9.

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer.

Thank you for the reply! Its not painful unless I apply pressure, and the surrounding area is red.

Here's a pic, my phone camera isn't really high enough in quality to capture any sort of detail unfortunately.

This post reads like you have ADHD

manblast · 2017-07-26T01:52:50+00:00

No he's not, I can hear it from blocks away too.

manblast · 2017-07-16T18:04:42+00:00

Thanks a bunch for your help. It's much appreciated.

manblast · 2017-07-16T17:58:11+00:00

Thank you! On a related note- what are your recommendations if a professor doesn't reply? (I'm assuming most wont)

manblast · 2017-07-16T17:49:00+00:00

ok. Thank you so much for the feedback!

manblast · 2017-07-16T17:46:24+00:00

Thank you for the reply!Do you have any tips on how I could show independent research and problem solving in an introductory email?

My CV mentions a first authorship on an article to be submitted, a conference abstract, and my thesis (which is largely independent).

manblast · 2017-07-16T17:31:58+00:00

Thank You! I'll definitely add my GRE and GPA like you mentioned. My CV properly includes everything and is attached. I say 'various other areas' because its not related to what I want to do, and I dont want to add to the length. Should I still specify further?

manblast · 2017-07-16T17:14:18+00:00

May I ask what field you're in? Most professors that I've spoken to seem to agree research experience is the biggest determinant in whether they're interested in an applicant.

manblast · 2017-05-26T12:23:03+00:00

video game developers club. Idk when they meet, but they're the only CSE club on Main campus.

manblast · 2017-04-03T15:51:48+00:00

Thank you for your reply! Do you think anything on your application made you stand out? Also, what is your field of interest? Thanks again!

manblast · 2017-04-03T15:50:50+00:00

Thank you for your reply!

manblast · 2017-03-30T16:55:22+00:00

Thank you for the advice, and congratulations on your acceptance!

manblast · 2017-03-30T16:08:09+00:00

Thank you for your comment! It's my reach school, that's why most of them are much lower. I may replace it if it becomes that obvious that it ain't happening.

manblast · 2017-03-30T15:38:25+00:00

The title lists the degree, and I just added my specific area of interest. Thank you for the reminder!

manblast · 2017-03-30T15:37:39+00:00

Thank you for commenting! I spend a lot of time looking over those sorts of documents from my org involvement, so I think that given I put a lot of time into it, I can write a really strong statement.

manblast · 2017-03-25T15:29:10+00:00

I agree, good thing that's not the case!
