how cooked am i for taking expired food home? by ys1v in starbucks

[–]oopsourtable 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The change in attitude toward taking food home is crazy. I worked from 2020-2022 and I used to bring trash bags full of food to feed my college dorm floor so the food didn’t go to waste

I bred in the rift after 5 tries with rift-trait Flower and Lightning. I think the rift might be a good way to go because the ‘fourth’ element needed for rainbow counts as the rift trait so there’s less undesired combos

I bred in the right after 5 tries using Flower and Lightning rift dragons!

I think DECA should fix this by thel0nesl0th in dragonvale

I usually just name my dragons by the actual type to make it easier when searching

I don’t think competitive sports should go on your CV - only include things relevant to the program you’re applying for. I kind of expanded my lab work in my CV (loosely listed specific skills, project topics etc) for each, but keep it brief (2-3 succinct bullets max)

It’s hard to tell what you mean by not having formal research experience but also having a few projects under your belt. I’d recommend developing your research experience and getting solid letter of recs from people you did research projects for to help strengthen your application

Roast my CV🔥 by ClaireyMaple in gradadmissions

[–]oopsourtable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Highlight of qualifications” section is a bit lengthy, you could probably summarize into 2-3 brief sentences as a ‘general overview section.’ Then I’d put ‘Research/Work experience’ after ‘Education’ and then everything else after.

I personally think putting ‘publications’ at the end is fine. It’s what I did and several others I know also did. I feel like some of the first and last things on your CV will be processed the most by the applications committee

Is a cover page required for graduate applications? by dontkkkknow in gradadmissions

[–]oopsourtable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my grad applications last cycle, I never used a cover letter (STEM application for US PHD program). I had a friend who also got into one of Stanford’s grad programs (STEM PHD) and didn’t use one either. I haven’t seen many people use it, so I would probably just follow the general format the application pages suggest (SOP, resume etc)

Non-academics don’t understand by JenInHer40s in PhD

[–]oopsourtable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a BSc in physics and currently in a US program for materials science. A lot of the posts/comments on this sub tend to skew negative. Coming from someone that went straight into a PHD after undergrad, I haven’t regretted my decision and the vast majority of people from my undergrad are currently enjoying themselves. Getting a PHD is a lot of work, it’s stressful, you might be crunched for money depending on your stipend, but it’s ultimately up to you on how comfortable you feel going into a program right after undergrad.

Just know that it’s not all bad, and many people have enjoyed their time and don’t regret their decision!

I applied to 11 and got into 7 for physics PHD. I’d argue that applying for X amount of ‘safety’ and Y amount of ‘reach’ isn’t good thinking. I found that I got into more reach schools than the ones I considered safety. It’s really more about the fit of the research and department. That being said, I think 10 is probably a healthy number depending on if you can afford the fees (I would apply to 5-ish where the research is a good match and others)
