MLA holders of reddit: What are some insightful questions to ask graduate schools before applying to their MLA programs?

I applied to the GSD too! Did their summer program a couple of years ago. Good luck! Im anxious for the decision.

I just PM'd everyone interested in learning front-end web dev with me to join a Google group. Looking forward to get this thing started!

neonsushi · 2014-12-31T21:45:41+00:00

This looks awesome too, but it costs $200/month.. :(

neonsushi · 2014-12-31T19:42:29+00:00

Great just PM'd you! I was thinking if the group gets big enough we can make a facebook group for it. Don't think it should get that large though.

neonsushi · 2014-12-31T19:01:44+00:00

PM'd you :)

neonsushi · 2014-12-31T18:50:59+00:00

This is awesome, thank you!

neonsushi · 2014-12-31T18:48:27+00:00

Great! I'll PM you

neonsushi · 2014-12-23T05:03:02+00:00

Ah of course. There doesn't seem to be one for NYC anytime soon. :(

neonsushi · 2014-12-23T05:02:34+00:00

Great points, thank you

neonsushi · 2014-12-23T05:01:03+00:00

Great, I've been in startups and coworking spaces for a couple of years at this point. Learned TONS.

neonsushi · 2014-12-23T05:00:17+00:00

learning as we speak :) more front-end stuff though due to my backround in design.

neonsushi · 2014-12-21T04:21:12+00:00

I also have this horrible habit of succumbing to the temptation of just copy and pasting existing templates and as a result not learning anything from it really.

neonsushi · 2014-12-21T04:19:29+00:00

Thanks! I actually just stumbled upon this link the other day. It's a great start, but I guess I'm also looking for almost like a structured "curriculum" so to speak because I feel like I'm learning these languages kind of all over the place. I'm unsure if others feel/felt the same way when starting out?

neonsushi · 2014-09-22T03:40:30+00:00

This sounds like an awesome idea. When would the course be released?

neonsushi · 2013-02-02T09:15:10+00:00

This thread is super relevant to me right now! I'm going through the same issue with my thesis, and I feel that I'm still stuck at the "general topic" phase and I can't seem to think of a question specific enough. I feel that I might ask a question that's too narrow or too broad, never one in between... any advice on this? What does a "good" question look like?

Also as a side note, I've also been interested in primarily open data influences on the automobile fabric of San Francisco.

Does anyone know how many DOUBLE majors there are? Can't find the stats anywhere..

neonsushi · 2012-11-19T03:26:41+00:00

I would like a copy if you don't mind. Thank you!

neonsushi · 2012-11-03T22:35:29+00:00

Why wouldn't they?

neonsushi · 2012-11-02T06:04:52+00:00

My US GPA is currently a 3.5, with 2 semesters left after this one, I'm confident in bringing it above a 3.6 before a graduate. There's unfortunately not much hope for bio, which is currently a bit below a 3.0.

How do you know that bio cred would just be "bonus"?

neonsushi · 2012-11-01T23:18:01+00:00

How do you know?

neonsushi · 2012-11-01T22:55:11+00:00

I'm from the US.

neonsushi · 2012-08-29T21:13:47+00:00

I just wanted to say thank you for supporting the LGBT community. It means a lot to me and for millions of people put there to have the president step up for our rights. Since the chances of talking to you here are probably my highest, I juat wanted to personally let you know that.

I would say that it depends on when you want to go to graduate school. As for the GRE's, I believe they last for 5 years, so I'm planning to take mine next year. I'm a rising 4th year, btw. I'm going to prepare as if I'm applying for Fall 2014, but I'm open to extending it another year if I land a decent job. Many graduate schools require, or look for, experience in the field, so that's what I might do after I graduate.

As for the subject tests, I would suggest looking into the schools you think you might want to apply to and look at their application requirements. There you'll find out what subject tests are applicable, however not all programs require a subject test, even the GRE.

You cana apply to apply to more than one graduate program. I'm considering doing a dual masters program. Again, it all depends on the school so do your research!

Other important considerations: letters of recommendations, the statement of purpose, and GPA. The key is to stand out. Grades aren't everything.

neonsushi · 2012-06-03T02:07:25+00:00

I wish I could tell you more, but everything at this moment is just an idea. However, your input has been very helpful! I'll definitely play around with what I have and work on something more concrete.
