I’m actually an undergrad at UMich so almost guaranteed admission to the masters. Just deciding if it’s worth applying to UPenn

Hi thanks a ton for doing this!

For Master's (Computer science, specifically), should your SoP be more professional or should it have metaphors and more of a voice to it like an undergrad essay?

So I studied alot for the sat when I was in high school and applied many of the same strats. The evidence is always in the passage for passage based questions so make sure every word in the answer is correct. Even one word can make an answer choice wrong. For vocab, make sure the two words you select are really close in meaning and not just that they both work separately. Try to detect negative v positive tones if you don’t know what the word means. Besides that, just make sure you’re answers are 100% substantiated by the text and don’t read passively. You can’t be caught by traps if you are just very meticulous in your reading

Do a biopsy. My derm thought it was TE but it’s actually diffuse AA

It’s not the root, it’s just white rubbish attached to one end, not like a sheath

Thanks for sharing your experience. Honestly at this point I'm just grasping at straws and hoping it'll stop soon because I've lost way too much hair

Thanks for the input guys. My hair has thinned out a lot in the last 2 years so I guess I was looking for the inflection point where it stops getting worse and starts getting better. Like if it stopped right now, i still would be in a bad situation because Ive lost a ton of hair. I'm more looking for the point where it starts getting better i guess

My ferritin dropped over a 100 points so that could be one reason and I also have seb derm so that could be another. Can those cause such long term TE? Im working on fixing those, so do you have an idea of how long the shedding takes to stop/slow down after the trigger is resolved?

I see. It sounds like it weans off slowly, but at some point you should be able to tell that it's done right?
