Post here about looking at butts in yoga pants and wearing camo backpacks. It's the new year and I still don't have any grades.

Soulex posted:University of San Diego Dude I used to live in San Diego and looked at USD for a hot minute before heading east to go to school. Unless you're factoring in the cost of rent, food, and blow into your monthly tuition bill, you're reading it wrong. USD is not 90k per year. http://www.sandiego.edu/finance/student-financial-services/student-accounts/cost/undergraduate.php

School related: back in November I applied for a pretty cool public policy fellowship (https://www.ppiaprogram.org/ppia/what-we-do/junior-summer-institutes/junior-summer-institutes/), which has the dual benefits of giving you money AND helping in graduate program applications. Well, earlier this month I found out that I was an alternate select to the fellowship at Carnegie Mellon. This was better than I expected, and waited for the day where they would inform us if any primaries had declined the fellowship so one of us alternate would be called up. Well, that day was today, and I found out that all primaries had accepted their fellowships, so no dice for us poor alternate selects. Too bad!

Speaking of which: does anyone know the formula for figuring out what your GPA will be at the end of the semester if you have X credits and get X grade? Like, I'm finishing up my last semester, have 121 credits and currently taking 4 credits (3 credit class and 1 credit class), sitting at 3.66 and wondering what I'll have if I get an A, A-, etc

Registered for a GRE prep course. I'm going to look for actual test locations and times that fall around the end of the course. There's at least one person at my current worksite that attended one of the schools I'm aiming for, so I'm gonna ask her for input on writing a statement of purpose. The thought of going to grad school would've been unthinkable just a few years ago. drat.

Howard Phillips posted:One of my former sailors is applying to colleges for undergrad. Problem is he is seriously underselling himself. He did really well on his SATs but is only applying to mid tier schools. After some pushing he's finally acceded to apply to one Ivy league. But he wants my advice on which one to apply to. Honestly I have no idea and that it's up to him. So I'm referring to you guys, which of the Ivies is most veteran friendly? All the Ivies are "veteran friendly" in that they won't poo poo in your mouth for being an amoral war criminal. You're another student, albeit with some unique life experiences. As long as you don't bring up "Well, when I was in Iraq..." during calculus class, you'll be fine. What it comes down to is the health of the community and how much aid the school is willing to give. Columbia has the largest number of undergrad vets, but their financial aid is not good. It's also pretty easy to get in as a vet. Dartmouth is probably second. Smaller vet community, better FA. Yale has like 10 vets, but according to a friend of mine who just graduated they aren't very well-represented. Good FA though. Harvard is Harvard. Tell your friend to stop being a pussy and apply to all of them.

I think that it's important to have a realistic idea of what a school in the Ivy League is and isn't. Each of the eight schools in the league have a certain amount of cultural cachet and name recognition - some more than others. But you can get the exact same, or even better, name recognition from a Duke or UT or whatever. Each school does have a lot of money, so funding is never really a problem. As far as academics are concerned, at the undergrad level"good" or "very good" are the baseline for each program at the school. However, that isn't to say that every IL school excels at every subject, just that you can't really go wrong studying any subject. But if you really, really want to study mechanical engineering then you won't be best served by a Yale versus a Stanford or MIT. However, if you just kind of want to do mech e while also moonlighting in the drama department, then Yale might be a better fit. Your buddy should also understand that academics at any of these schools are also nut-stompingly hard. Think about it: while you're doing your 300 pages of reading for the week, all the while feeling like a complete idiot fraud, you're competing for grades against the kids who have been raised in laboratories to be genius scholars while also being captain of every team they've been on (and some they haven't been on), who are also musical prodigies and artists. These people also think that they're idiot frauds, and will chew adderall like they're candy from a Pez dispenser just to prove to Dad that they're not complete fuckups. Your friend will have to out-work them in order to get his 'A'. But most important of all, if your friend is intellectually curious, the IL schools do a very good job at putting resources towards students pursuing their passions. Love foreign languages? There are grants for that (I got a few). Are you unhealthily obsessed with international politics? They have internships at the UN just for you. Do you just loving love anime? There are multiple courses for that. One little side note: if your buddy can get into Harvard, tell him to go there. It literally doesn't matter what you study; the name alone will get him far.

Soulex posted:Can you use both Voc Rehab and the GI Bill simultaneously? Next year, I’ll need like 4 credits to graduate so I’ll only be half time. I can’t survive on that. I had this exact situation happen in my last semester. What you can do is ask to switch back to chapter 33 and get certified for that last semester to claim full BAH.

Viva Miriya posted:Deathy McDeath, the Columbia MilVets let me know that GS has a program with SIPA. tl;dr its a Bachelors/Masters program that gets you that poo poo in 5 years. I have 2 years done already transferring in so I'm hoping to walk out with a Master's in International Affairs at minimum in 3 years. I'm sure there are other variations of the Master's degree from that school but definitely something related to International Relations and poo poo. What the gently caress do I do with such a thing besides throw my resume at government agencies and poo poo? Can't really help you because the only guys I know who did this went to government agencies. That said, SIPA is less on the "theoretical" side of international affairs and more on the "practicioner" side.

lightpole posted:Final for statistical programming in R went well I think, I actually could do stuff. That should only drop me down to a 3.5 since my SQL did not go as well and I'll likely end up with B, B+, and 2 As. I took a graduate course in political statistics that included a ton of R, and it practically killed me. I didn’t finish the last two papers (you had to design and report on studies based on survey datasets) until after New Years. And yes, this was a fall course.

GD_American posted:Grad school homie That's the idea. I'm not sure sure what kind of program to pursue, though. I could continue in my undergrad field (Middle East Studies) but that's kind of lame. I was also looking at some kind of professional degree (MPA/MBA) but I'm not sure what the value return on those are if I don't go into a top program. Like, I did well in undergrad and I could probably get fairly good GRE scores, but probably marginal for the Harvards and Stanfords of the world. As fun as it would be, a PhD program is out of the question. I'm too old to spend another 6+ years in school.
