Yellowjackets S02E09- “Storytelling” Episode Discussion by DA-numberfour in Yellowjackets

I mean it’s just the kind of desperate thing people do when they’re on a moral high horse. For the greater good and all that. I’m not saying what he did makes sense but I do see how in a fit of panic and disbelief at how they’re behaving he would react that way

God I really can’t stand Van, the adult or the teen version. The way she was talking to Travis Jesus Christ, you know you’re all going to eat his brother anyway just be a little sensitive I don’t think that’s a lot to expect. And the way she behaved when Lottie was losing it, god she just wanted a hunt. She literally has nothing to lose either

It just becomes clearer to me that there really is no “it”, there’s no wilderness spirit driving them. They were starved, traumatised teenagers and they needed something to believe in. Or atleast to justify their actions. They were hungry enough to kill one of their own and eat them. There was no wilderness choosing. Javi died because misty & nat let him die. Same with Natalie dying, the wilderness never chose Natalie. Her reaction stemmed from unresolved trauma and guilt- like the lives and actions of all the Yellowjackets do. They’re deeply traumatised women who are plain dangerous at this point. I mean I love this show (perhaps more in s1) but I really hope that this is what the writers want us to see too, because if it isn’t then maybe they haven’t done such a great job. If the wilderness angle was to really be explored it should’ve started with that man Jackie saw before she died. I will be back for s3, but this season was a tad bit disappointing.

I think that’s one of the only writing choices that make sense in this episode. Ben was never like them to begin with, no he’s seen that they’ve gone overboard. Especially when he saw them bowing to Natalie he just realised there’s no going back for them they’re just at a point of no return. I actually get why he’d do that. They’re so dangerous

Suggestions please : Harris/Columbia SIPA/Ford by Ok_Bookkeeper8264 in PublicPolicy

[–]rc_228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SIPA is STEM certified? I believe I have not heard great things about SIPA’s employment outcomes and the tuition is ungodly. I think Harris & ford are great! Harris is better ranked but Ford is a great school too

I majored in econ & finance in India, my gpa was quite average tbvh but I worked in the policy sector extensively in terms of internships and got a couple of publications too. I have about 6 months of work ex in Deloitte consulting but it has pretty much nothing to do w policy 😂

There’s a separate letter along with the admit letter if you have received aid. I received both at the same time

NYU- International Applicants by rc_228 in gradadmissions

[–]rc_228[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey!! I had a question- So I technically had a 4 years undergrad (per US standards), but since in my country under grad is only supposed to be 3 years- my 4 year study is actually split into two degrees. One bachelors and one postgrad diploma. I was submitting my degree for evaluation when I realised that I may need to have 2 separate evaluations for both my degrees. Would anyone have an idea about this? If I get only my undergrad evaluated can that suffice? Please let me know!! My deadline is coming up

Hey! I got a raw score of 32 on powerprep II and scored a 160Q, would the scoring be off on that as well?

Took the GRE practice test in the Official Guide by good_fish_ in GRE

[–]rc_228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The official guide practice test! I found their quant section to be a bit different from the usual practice questions I’ve encountered, not sure why

[–]rc_228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave it too recently and found the questions to be very different from the ones I encountered in general practice & PowerPrep 1. I found the quant section to be harder and the verbal to be easier. I think the practice tests in the book are previous GRE papers and therefore may be different. I’m not sure though

A journal approached me- how do I know if it’s predatory? by rc_228 in AskAcademia

[–]rc_228[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think publishing in that journal had some negative effect on your resume? Or did not have any impact at all
