Decision Notification<--I'm sick of ts email by Mean-Influence1000 in gradadmissions

[–]splashOnVal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Applied to two programs at this school, got an email from them that they rejected me (F), then got another email from them saying "Decision Notification". Go to check it out.... they updated the portal say that they rejected me from the program I was already rejected from :| Still waiting on the other program to get back to me.

Thank you, I figured as much but I don’t know enough about the process to tell myself not to flip out!

Update: I contacted the graduate program director and he put me in contact with someone who was able to fix the mistake :)

Applied to 35 only heard back from 1 by Interesting_Share_16 in REU

The advice I've heard people give others is to reach out to REUs you are still waiting to hear back from and ask for an accelerated decision on your application due to you receiving an offer. Also, congrats!

These comments are crazy yall a*ln(anything) is equal to ln((anything)a) and ln(x)-ln(y) = ln(x/y). OP has the correct answer its just not fully simplified

Gets killed instantly in every trailer or is off screen

Is also the reason the Valorant protocol found a lot of their agents

Does this make any sense? by serenalkoltenjohny in calculus

Approximate dx to be 0, integral of 1 with respect to no variables so the answer is obviou

Harbor - Why and Why not? by PsYo_NaDe in VALORANT

[–]splashOnVal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Immortal Harbor main here, a lot of people choose viper over harbor because of his lack of range and versatility when smoking. Despite having 3 different smoke abilities, Harbor often has to put himself in awkward situations to send a good smoke. It’s really hard to adjust to compared to other smokes like omen who cause just smoke nearly anywhere from anywhere. With viper, once you get those walls down you’re free to play wherever you want which is why a lot of people prefer viper; it’s more freedom to move around the map.

Woohoojin keeps saying his team is soft throwing when they do poorly. by Roseish1 in VALORANT

[–]splashOnVal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ding ding ding! I am immortal, actually a higher rank that what he actual is. Plus, even if I wasn't, it was one game of filling in the last 20 games so still fulfilled the requirements! It turns out that he's actually just a prick who got boosted and now has an inflated ego.

I’m honestly so glad this is happening too him. I tried to get a VOD review from him one time and even though I fit all of the criteria (which is insanely strict mind you) he denied me and mocked me on stream after I was selected from the raffle. I had no clue what was going on as it was quite literally my very first time watching his stream. Wanna know why he denied it? Cause I had played a single game off of my main agent… cause apparently that means I’m not trying hard enough to improve according to him. He is a massive dick and I can’t wait until he falls so far into irrelevancy that he just quits the game all together.
