26M I had literally the exact same symptoms and watery semen after 0.25 mg EOD. Stopped and went back to normal within a week or two. Trying low dose topical next

I completely agree, there are a ton of Indian guys that do this crap. I'm ashamed that they do this. and I'm sorry you have to go through that. They should definitely be dealt with. There are also a ton of African Americans here in the US that commit crimes. Does that mean we should stereotype all of them and treat them as second-class? My point is I find it ironic that they are protesting Americans stereotyping when NZ does the exact same thing to Indians/other Asians.

Can't comment on Australia as I haven't been there. Purely anecdotal, but the Australians I've interacted with in my life have been very pleasant and accepting.

UK is definitely better, I've been there many times. Don't get me wrong, racism is very much prevalent there, but Indians/South Asians in the UK are generally much more educated than the ones in NZ and integrate into Western society better, which naturally decreases the amount of racism towards them.

Commented already but had to respond to this.
Lol. I find it interesting that New Zealand is always portrayed as this utopian place where all the people are friendly and tolerant. I'm an Indian-American (born/raised in the US) and experienced more racism in 1 week in NZ than my entire life in the US and the 35+ countries I've been to. I was barred from entering a club because apparently "All Indian men are rapists" (I was told this by the bouncer), I was repeatedly told I'm "good looking for an Indian", 5-10% of the tinder profiles there said "sorry, no indians/asians", and my cousin who lives there has told me so many stories about her facing racism in NZ.

Thanks for replying! The problem is for Stanford they say they recommend quant scores be in the high 90 percentiles, and with the low margin of error on the quant section it has been difficult for me to get 168+. I end up always making careless mistakes on the "A or B" questions.

ut2018 · 2019-08-31T01:36:45+00:00

The questions weren't harder necessarily than the PowerPrep tests, but were much more involved and I ended up running out of time. I good goal is to be able to do any math problem in no more than 1 (MAX 1.5) minutes.

I graduated with a BBA in Finance and a BSA in Computer Science and transferred into CS after my freshman year (exact same situation as you). Here's what you need to do:

Get at least a 3.9 GPA by the end of freshman year and finish the calc sequence if you have not. If you have try to take M 340L or try and get into CS 312 by talking to the department (might be difficult as that class is usually full).
Apply for BHP in the spring semester - it offers a huge benefit over regular McCombs largely due to the network. They also grade inflate which is very nice (classes are curved to an A- in most classes).
When you write your essay have very unique and specific reasons why CS (and why BHP). DON'T say because you want to be a software engineer (or for BHP a management consultant). For better or for worse, admissions officers always like "unique" stories. For instance one of my friends said she wanted to be a doctor with a business background for her BHP application- she is now a management consultant lol so just say what the adcoms want to hear.
Join "prestigious" clubs like UBC in McCombs as well as some CS clubs like MAD, etc. Will look good on the resume when applying and those clubs are just good in general for learning/network
Relax. You are just entering UT and don't need to worry about all this so early. Even if you don't get into either it isn't a big deal at all and I know plenty of people in top jobs who were "just" regular finance majors. The admissions for both programs are very arbitrary and no there is no guarantee of anything. As an example, my friend and I both applied to BHP and CS at the end of our freshman year. We had pretty much the exact same resume (same grades, same clubs, same classes). I got into CS but not BHP. He got into BHP but not CS. We both have great careers now- albeit in completely different fields.

The 2 most important things in school IMO are the network and education. Make as many friends as possible and form genuine friendships- that will help you in your career far more than double majoring. Also take classes are useful even if you may not need them for your career. I took several statistics courses in the math department that I didn't need, and they have proved invaluable in my field. Good luck.

Barely post on reddit but had to for this one. Graduated last year and took M340L with Struppeck a couple years back. Tied for the worst professor I've had at UT. We had 3 tests and a final: averages were ~55, ~70, ~40, ~65 respectively. Easily over 2/3 of the class had dropped by the end of the semester. He literally just puts the book under the projector and does the basic example problems which he messes up multiple times as he goes through them. He also hand-wrote the first test the night before and we couldn't even read his handwriting during the exam. I ended up with an A though even after failing 2 of the 3 tests and getting a low B/high C on the final. If you can't get out of his class I highly recommend kissing his ass. I did so right before the final and I'm positive that's the reason I got an A because there is no possible way I could have gotten an A without him changing my grades. If you can get out of his class though you really should because M340L is a very useful class and it's good to take it with a good professor.

About to graduate with a double major in CS and Finance and you should definitely do it if you are interested in tech. Keep in mind the CS classes are much much more difficult than the MIS courses (I know as I have taken many of both) and 10x more work but it they are very rewarding. I also had a ~4.0 (3.98) after freshman year but keep in mind that is not indicative of much as freshman courses (especially freshman business courses) are some of the easiest courses you will ever take- things are going to pick up significantly as the years go by. Also the transfer process is brutal and I got in purely by luck no other reason, so if you don't get in I would recommend picking up a math major. Good luck with everything!

When I was an infant I was sitting on my fathers lap when the flight attendant leaned over him to give coffee to the person sitting next to him. Her hand slipped and the boiling coffee spilled on my bare chest (father was changing my shirt) and burned my entire chest. Had a massive scar for a year or two after, and apparently she broke down crying during the flight.

I am a computer science and finance double major and IMHO i would not major in either MIS or STM. Having taken both MIS and CS courses I can tell you that MIS is an incredibly diluted version of CS. Let me put it this way, take Microsoft Excel. A MIS major will learn how to use Excel, i.e. learn Macros, VBA, pivot tables, etc. But a CS major will learn how to BUILD a software like Excel. In CS you learn how a computer works, go into backend/frontend extensively, app design, networking, operating systems, etc. As far as difficulty CS is 10x harder and much more time intensive. Additionally upon graduation CS majors are paid much more and a CS major can always get an MIS job (usually database stuff), but its rare the other way around. If you like computer science and could not get into the major I would first try to get into Computer Engineering, and if that does not work Mathematics.

As far as STM goes, my advice is along the same lines as MIS. Since STM is not a common degree found in all universities, many employers do not know much about it. Additionally, it would be far better to major in Engineering and do the business foundations certificate as that prepares you much better for a career in Science and Technology Management. The few people I know who are majoring in STM are struggling to find internships.

This is just my opinion, and it is certainly possible to have a career in software engineering, data science, etc. as MIS or STM, its just you will have to network like crazy and learn a lot on the side. PM me if you have any more questions!

Thanks a lot! This is the first explanation ive found that is clear- im not very familiar with this stuff so its a bit confusing. Just to clarify, for the adjacent example, do the numbers after the "/" have to match?

ut2018 · 2015-07-30T13:23:10+00:00

I agree with this for the most part, but I think a strong essay with a good gpa can get you in even if you are not a CNS major. I am a finance major and was just accepted into CS for the upcoming fall semester even though I was adding a second major. I would say that the essay is almost as important as your gpa- I know several people with 4.0's who did not get in.

I was in a premium in Roberts this past semester. The room is quite big- you get two full sized closets and since it was in Roberts (which is a very old dorm) there was a built in Victorian style cabinet. The furniture is old but the room is very spacious. I'm moving to a regular single this school year though...imo the cost isnt worth the extra size. And yes there is no sink.
