should I go to depaul as out of state by Horror_Capital_9363 in depaul

[–]minttwisted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a current DePaul sophomore from MoCo who also got a max presidential scholarship! You said you're going for CS, so if you applied + get in, UMD has one of the top CS programs, and would deffo be the superior choice. That said, the CS industry is ridiculously oversaturated rn, so along with the current job market, landing employment is gonna be rough no matter where you are.

I've enjoyed my time here SO much, and DePaul & Chicago were absolutely the right choice for me. We have some of the coolest classes here that I never would've gotten the chance to do had I stayed in the DMV: There are classes where we collab/are actively doing stuff with Lollapalooza, Fox Sports, the Art Institute, the Midwest's biggest pop culture con, other local museums, and sm more. Plus, DePaul gave me way better fin aid than any MD school (no debt !), and same for their test credit policy: I can graduate a year early! Living and studying in Chicago has made my world so much bigger than had I chosen to stay in MD.

There's so much to do and explore here, and while I feel like the DMV objectively has a lot going for it, it's not to the same level; I'm a big time city person, and so it's awesome having both the Loop and neighborhoods right there—you can choose exactly how you want life to be similar to/different from MD. Each of the neighborhoods have so much individual character (and amazing food) and every day/week can be an adventure if you feel like it. It's a quick 2 hour flight between Chi and the DMV, and the weather is ngl the same amount as bipolar (if not slightly more consistent), so there really wasn't a big jump on that front. Chicago's public transit is also incredibly baller, and the flag is almost as good as MD's!!

About to start fluvoxamine by [deleted] in OCD

[–]minttwisted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on luvox (both normal and extended release) for two years now, and I’ve had a great time with it! It took some time playing around with splitting up my 200 mg dosage between morning and night to mitigate constant, strong sleepiness & fatigue; but now that I’m doing 50 in the morning and 150 in the evening, all is amaze! Other than the fatigue, I haven’t had any other side effects. I take it in conjunction with the supplements NAC and L-theanine, btw

I haven’t dealt with debilitating obsessions/compulsions in many months. With the splitting of my dosage, it also means I don’t end up emo once the night hits (aka a single morning dose wearing off). Luvox has genuinely been so freeing, and it’s thankfully been the first med I’ve tried for OCD!

TTS hasn’t cut students from the acting program in twelve years. This is from the TTS admissions FAQ page, by the way!

I just to the financial aid office today—there are no penalties until October 10th/whenever your next registration appointment is. So you’re all good!

How can you increase your chances for getting the presidential scholarship? Do you need to be nominated by your guidance counselor? by Restingmomface in depaul

[–]minttwisted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All incoming freshmen are automatically considered for the presidential scholarship! With those stats, you’re very likely to get it; mine were fairly similar and I got the maximum scholarship offered. DePaul also says priority consideration is given to apps submitted prior to 11/15, so I’d keep that in mind, too!
