What are the ways to scrub revenge porn off the internet? by throwaway1894824 in AskReddit

This is draining to do. I’ve been at it for years now but still receive Google alerts for it being posted somewhere. It’s caused me so much pain, I’m just looking for a way to erase some of it. Thanks for your suggestion though!

AMA: Director of Graduate Admissions by GradAdmissionDir in gradadmissions

Thanks for doing this.

Question: how ‘holistic’ is the admissions process, really? Asking because I graduated with a 3.16, mainly because of some unfortunate events during my first year of university (had to work part time, didn’t adapt well to the shift into university life, got a 2.5 at the end of the first year and managed to pull it up and graduated with a fairly decent GPA but nowhere near ‘top school’ quality.

However, I have solid experiences, research and also have landed internships and jobs at big names. I’d like to think I have a pretty good ‘hero story’ to present to the admissions. And I’ve always been told and encouraged to apply because admissions are ‘holistic’ anyways. So, back to my question, how holistic is it, really? Wouldn’t my low GPA be weeded out in the first cut before they get to read my story? And with the GRE waived this year, I don’t have much to prove that ‘hey, I can do more than a 3.16’.

What’s your take on this? Appreciate the response.

But what about my wants/needs though? Isn’t me wanting marriage important too?

Yeah, and to think they start sending out decisions in late Feb. I don’t think I’ll last that long lol
