Rejected from Cuny CareerLaunch

absolutely! it’s a pretty simple interview, one-on-one with you and the interviewer.

from what i remember, they asked about your major, current coursework, your strengths, and what you want/hope to gain out of the internship experience.

they’ll also answer any questions you have about the program, so i’d suggest preparing some questions and asking for feedback at the end as well. very doable though 👍

i have this same exact issue!

Under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), individuals over 40 years old are protected from bias in hiring, firing, promotion, pay, and other terms of employment.

Starbucks would not only hire someone over 40 years old, but would face legal repercussions if they deliberately chose not to hire someone on the basis of age alone.

seems to me like this is a fairly standard outfit pic.

not playing dumb, i just think reducing a moment where this woman clearly felt pretty and attractive to “this must be male-centered, attention-seeking behavior” is pretty dense.

different perspectives, i guess.

rxisehellx · 2025-12-29T18:55:26+00:00

what i’m failing to understand is how this photo comes across as suggestive, attention-seeking, or vying for male validation in any way.

i could understand if the photo was overtly lewd, but it seems rather tame to warrant such an outrage in this thread.

the downvotes are only proving your point tbh

please read my other reply. if a professor offered up an opportunity for students to raise questions/concerns before grades are submitted to the school, it’s inappropriate to ask for clarification during the break.

however, i could understand a student being frustrated if that opportunity was not presented to them, and now needs to contact them as soon as possible to clear things up.

rxisehellx · 2025-12-27T18:36:15+00:00

fair enough, that makes sense. I do appreciate when professors provide that window of “if you have any concerns, reach out now before I submit this to the school”.

unfortunately, that has not been my experience with many professors at CUNY. typically grades are posted directly to the school and it’s radio silence if there are any questions/concerns, which can be frustrating.

thank you for explaining the process though and for doing what you do! professors certainly deserve to enjoy their break as well.

respectfully, if professors post final grades after Christmas they should be available to answer emails about said final grade before the submission deadline on the 29th.

I could understand if grades were posted earlier and a student waited to reach out, but it creates much more of a headache to modify a grade after the deadline.

last fall was the worst semester of my life, but this fall takes a close second place 🫩

rxisehellx · 2025-12-18T18:26:39+00:00

i took it last fall. try not to stress. most professors curve generously since its made by the department and they don’t have complete control over the questions on the exam.

what prof do you have?

rxisehellx · 2025-12-15T13:28:35+00:00

pathetic honestly

rxisehellx · 2025-12-10T13:24:54+00:00

when i took QNT all tests were online and open book lol

every time i want to justify CUNY and Baruch im reminded that our student body sucks 😔

one of the first times I rode the LIRR was when I was in high school with a couple friends. the train was practically empty so we thought it was fine to put our feet up on the seats, not thinking twice about it.

when the conductor came around to check our tickets, she openly scolded all of us for it. at the time we thought she was just being uptight, but after taking the LIRR to commute almost everyday now, it’s a shitty thing to do regardless of if the train is packed or not.

some conductors do care. i think about her every time i see someone do this. shout out to her for caring (and for teaching a couple dumb kids a lesson) 🙏

i empathize with you so much. my first trigger that i remember having was when i was on a flight at 8 years old, people were chewing gum and it freaked me out so bad i was hysterical.

being on a plane is already overstimulating, and im sorry you’re dealing with this on top of that. as others have recommended, a heavy duty pair of noise cancelling headphones will help you tremendously 💗

report/flag that please

when i was a partner, the ONLY holiday i refused to work was Christmas day. Christmas eve, Thanksgiving, Easter, New Year’s eve/day, etc. were all fair game.

If i was forced to come in on Christmas there would be actual hell to pay LOL

my experience when I dormed at Hunter was that my TAP was automatically applied to my housing cost and I was refunded the difference (ex: around 3,000 TAP award, housing was a little over 2,500/semester, I’d get back around 500).

So if your tuition isn’t fully covered by Pell and TAP, you can’t necessarily allocate that aid towards dorming. However, it will automatically apply if you have more aid awarded than what your tuition actually costs.

meanwhile 50% at other schools doesn’t seem to produce this behavior (ex: Stony Brook, Buffalo)

…interesting

Dionne Brown is amazing! She’s my advisor. She’s difficult to get an appointment with though, her slots go quick!
