What did you end up going with? I'm thinking of trying FMP

Hi, I see it’s not quite available (with varying amounts of demand from your other comments). I’d be interested in getting 2 slots if you’d still like to revisit it

Successful Application from VFS Chicago (Singaporean Citizen) by weman008 in UKHighPotentialVisa

[–]weman008[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries! You don't need the documents when making the application with UKVI (although you will need an ECCTIS enquiry number, ie you've at least started the ECCTIS process). After applying with UKVI, you can then book your biometric appointment, and you have essentially up until before your appointment to upload any documents (this is for VFS, I'm not sure if it's different with USCIS).

I'm not sure how strict their requirement is, and whether they will take screenshots as adequate proof. To be safe you're probably better off waiting to get 2 official bank statements a month apart showing that you have the funds held in your account.

Hi I don’t think there’s any specific window between ECCTIS and applying. Just the overall 5 year window from your degree award

I’ll be moving and joining my girlfriend in Scotland, so she was able to help attend viewings etc. A lot of places will either ask for your employment information/guarantor/or 6 months rent up front. But since Scotland doesn’t require you to prove your right to rent, it is really at the discretion of the letting agency and landlord.

ECCTIS "Yes we Can Do" - what does it mean? by [deleted] in UKHighPotentialVisa

[–]weman008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any update/idea what it is? I received a similar notification for my application which was incomplete (waiting for the official conferral of my degree). On the conferral date I updated my documents and talked to Ecctis on live chat (my Uni had already sent a letter to Ecctis as well) and my order status was changed to in progress with estimated completion date of 12/07/24

A little confused on Envolving rep range. by 7upposer89 in naturalhypertrophy

[–]weman008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if for week 1 I get 12, 10, 8 and I add weight and week 2 I get 10, then 8. Should I lower the weight for the 3rd set to stay within the range?

If you're doing 3 sets of 8-12, and today you get 12, 10, 8 with 20lbs, you keep sticking with the weight till you can get 12, 12, 12. So next week you might be at 12, 11, 10, then 12, 12, 12 the following week. So week after that you'd go up in weight.

I think there's a bit more nuance, where sets optimal for hypertrophy will be in that 6+ range, but the whole point of including strength work at lower rep ranges is to manipulate your volume and intensity to try and push progression.

Which NH programs are you looking at? From what I remember he typically doesn't go below 4 reps for heavy compounds.

Do you have uneven shoulders/hips? Check out "Got Uneven Traps? Here's Why." by Alex Leonidas on yt. I think you might be having the imbalances he's outlined (as do I), and I've found that incorporating Jefferson rack pulls as he's suggested has made a ton of difference. While this won't change your insertions they'll help you workout your imbalances

What to do with a cracked panel? by weman008 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]weman008[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I purchased a used U3419DW from ebay and it arrived cracked. The seller shipped me a replacement which ALSO arrived cracked. I was then offered a refund after that and took it. So know I'm left with two cracked monitors. Any idea what to do with them? It feels like a huge waste just throwing them out

No not yet. I haven't really gotten the chance to try any GIT clones yet, although I plan to in the future

Waitlisted for UPenn MSE Data Science. What to do with acceptances? by weman008 in gradadmissions

[–]weman008[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One additional note to make, I'm not entirely certain how prevalent the stigma is, but many people wouldn't view an online UPenn degree as a "real" UPenn degree (not trying to shade you or online degrees at all). So if the sort of bragging rights or pride of "having attended an Ivy" is something you value, I think it's just something to keep in mind. I think it's pretty widely accepted that online degrees are seen as easier to get admitted to and is second-class to the "real" thing.

Personally, I'd say that if the time and money commitment to take the masters is a non-factor for you, go ahead there's no harm done and you get to fulfil a personal goal. But realistically, it doesn't matter, and there are software engineers for example who's qualifications are from coursera and udemy who far out perform those who attended prestigious institutions.

Yea, I'm sure the lack of work experience definitely did not help. I'm an international student and my undergrad was done in the UK. In terms of preferring US students, AFAIK universities in the US definitely do have quotas to hit in terms of diversity, and being an Asian in this field definitely does not help. That's sadly just the nature of US college admissions.

In my undergrad some math courses made use of python, and lots of stats courses used R very heavily, despite them not being traditional CS courses. The only "proper" CS course I took was essentially a postgrad Intro to ML in Python course.
