OP here, I almost went there, got offered a nice scholarship. Centre seemed really nice but I don't think I could cope with the size of the place, I'd probably sperg out then immediately ruin my social life for the next four years

I'm a third year physics major at Tech right now. They changed that restaurant to a terribly overpriced organic place that I've only tried once. They did build a big dining complex next to folk/caldwell that opens in the fall, though.
I like my school. It's composed entirely of the kids who coasted by high school without trying with perfect grades, then got here and hit a wall, so if you dig deep enough into literally 95% of students here you'll find inadequacy-fueled depression and suicidal thoughts hidden at various depths. Sounds awful but makes for a surprisingly interesting environment. I just wish there were more kids who gave a fuck about the humanities, nobody here reads real books except my girlfriend.

It's the opposite here, at least in the engineering school unless you're in mechanical I believe

Fuck these threads.I managed to completely tank my GPA through lack of motivation and depression, ruining what portion of my life was not yet ruined. It's not hard to completely fuck your shit up if you are depressed, never study, and don't show up to class. Especially if you are not in a shitty meme major like English literature and can't just bullshit your way into an A. I graduated community college in 2016 with a GPA of 2.184 for Computer Science. The only college in the state that accepted me was a terrible normalfag infested party school, Radford University. The average person here is the stereotypical dude bro and club whore, I am completely isolated from everyone else. Even the pretense (which was at least present in community college) of making friends and finding a lover, are thrown out the window. I hate every second of my time spent here.

Now I'm clammering to raise my GPA (which I elevated to a 2.4 this semester with a GPA of 3.6) above the 2.5 threshold so I can apply to a slightly better school, ODU, in Fall of 2018. Literally no other college in the state will accept me, the required GPA is a 3.0 for my major, so VCU, etc are all out. Someone HELP MEEEEEEEEEEE.

i did this same thing in my bachelors, i think i was subconsciously trying to block myself from going to grad school, or maybe i was even conscious of it slightly...of course back in the 00s the economy hadn't totally tanked and it was still possible to get a job with having a phd from from a top 5 school, back then you could just squeek by with a bachelors from a decent state uni and still live a middle class life, fast forword ten years later and you can't get a job making coffee with a bachelors. well, i have a job but it's a job that to advance you need to have a networking personality that naturally sucks up to people with power instinctively, damn i wish i was like that, now that i've been working in a hierarchical organization for a while it's amazing how some people just naturally flock to the most powerful person and suck their dick, metaphorically or otherwise, and are then reward with all the choice assignment and jobs, oh and the other thing is there are non-negotiable rules that you need a masters to ever really get to a comfortable salary, man should definitely kill myself but it's so awkward to be found dead, maybe if i pretend to od by accident, idk i never used heroin what if i just give myself brain damage

I didn't take the SAT because I knew I was going into CC. Very, very, VERY stupid of me, but I was only 16 so cut me a break. Had I taken the SAT, I could have gotten into some much better schools instead of following the CC meme. After you have more than 30 credits at University, and you are past a certain age (usually 22( colleges don't ask for your scores, so my scores, even if they existed wouldn't help me at all. How many credits have you attempted?

>>9815135
I've got, I think, 15 on my record but they were all considered dropped or etc. I have an aggregate 32 ACT score, don't have an SAT. The uni I'm applying for is still asking for my test results so I assume they do want them.
I'm not even pushing for a scholarship, I just want to make sure I'm not outright dropped due to shitty psychological circumstances a year ago. I'll bite the bullet on student loans; in my state there's really no other way out than getting a degree.

Purgatorio (Dante Alighieri, 1472)

Finished my Master's in Japanese language. Here universities are free, so I don't have any sort of debt dragging me down.

Relative to the number of Master's graduates of Japanese language, there are rather many Japanese companies here, so it's not that hard to get a job as a company translator or something like that.

But I want to continue in academia with focus on early 20th century Japanese literature. So I applied for a scholarship-supported study stay in Japan with the hope of continuing to Doctoral program afterwards. Got a promise of acceptance from the university I want, so it's all one a very good track.

For undergraduate, economics doesn't have that much math. You only really need up to calculus, maybe linear algebra and multivar but that is often optional. There are usually statistics requirements as well but most of my undergrad experience was theory. Of course if you want to go on to graduate education you are going to need much more, depending on which aspect of economics you want to go on in.

I tried taking Latin (fucking difficult) and switched to French, which was great. It seems like all of the lang depts are awesome; some of those upper level russian classes sound incredible. There's a Masters-level class being taught this year called "Soviet Science Fiction", that I'm thinking about trying to finagle.

Depends on your university of course.

hi

>>9815571
I'm not the guy you were originally arguing with, but you need to stop thinking that colleges give a shit about whatever potential you think you may have.

All that matters is whatever GPA you have under your belt; you can't use depression as an excuse, because they don't care.

If I'm being honest here, you come off to me as a weak, whiny little shit. Stop making excuses.

There has been quite a few controversial posters put up lately, including numerous Holocaust denial ones over here. I can't say I'm surprised about the Chinese ones, people in /auspol/ joke about Melbourne and Sydney being Chinese colonies but the percentage of asians in the Group of 8 really is extraordinary. I've heard USyd and Melbourne are even worse on that front.

My law classes are excellent (doing bachelor's with honours) but my arts classes are a fucking daycare with Chinese kids barely speaking english yet somehow passing and mysteriously getting pulled out of law group assignments.

>>9819339
Wow, a retarded namefag that posts celebrity reaction images and lacks basic reading comprehension, what a surprise. Nowhere did I state or imply that colleges did or did not care, or should or should not care about GPA. I was lamenting the fact that I ended up where I was, and would fit in much better elsewhere, while explaining how I got into this situation in the first place. Though if you're curious, I would prefer it if the Universities here used the entrance exam system that Japan has, I think that would be more fair. And no, I don't give a shit what a retarded namefag who calls himself "sin" thinks, so go fuck yourself you faggot.

>>9819602
Yeah. Chinese foreign students are just one front of Chinese take-over of this country. They're training the new managerial class.

Some Chinese billionaires actually managed to mobilise thousands of Chinese students to counter-protest some Pro-Tibetan activists in Canberra a few months ago. You wouldn't have heard this in the news of course. I didn't until recently.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-07/china-must-be-told-to-stop-interfering-in-australian-affairs/8596568

>The first incident to alarm Australia's intelligence service — the sudden mobilisation and arrival of thousands of Chinese students to Canberra to protect the Olympic torch ("sacred flame" in Chinese media reports) from anti-China protesters — provided a perfect illustration of this difference.

>For mainstream Australian TV viewers, the sight of Chinese students being arrested after shouting down and assaulting pro-Tibet protesters looked like a colossal soft power fail.

Combine this with rising foreign ownership, the importation of foreign labour in the north, the increasing influence of Chinese money on universities and politics, and this country will be a Chinese vassal state in a few years.

That's not even to mention immigration. Sydney and Melbourne are becoming very Chinese. And people aren't batting an eye because they're "model minorities". Heh, they won't be a minority for very long.

I'm studying history at Merrimack College next year. What is a history major even like? I'm a little worried, I just left one school filled with spoiled rich pseudo-marxists, and knowing how much commies love (their interpretation of) history, I'm hoping I won't have to deal with that again. Are there a lot of Commies in your classes?

There are multiple ways to get government scholarship in Japan for various levels of study.

I chose the way of an embassy-recommended research student.

As such research student you can research pretty much anything as long as you pass the screenings and find a Japanese professor that will agree to be your advisor. No Japanese language proficiecy is needed actually, except for topics like Japanese language, history or literature.

I'm going with literature and want to do the entire research in Japanese, so I made sure to write my research proposal in Japanese, get a good JLPT score etc. etc.

GPA is one of the things that gets judged during the screening, but in my country GPA isn't really a thing and most of my course subjects only have Pass/Fail grading, so my grade sheet was full of "Pass".

I have to say, from looking around the internet I got the idea that this program is insanely competitive in countries with high population where there'll be many applicants.

Anyway, check out this for various programs Japanese government offers and consider what fits best for your needs.

this school is socialist trash desu. I have no choice but complete 8 credits of "literature on Ethnicity, Gender, Class, and Culture" There's probably 3 or so classes per term that isn't completely liberal groupthink.

I'm pretty sure I've seen you on one of these threads before. I'm guessing you're the only one on here studying SymSys, but that's probably my dream major/school, or cognitive science at Johns Hopkins or MIT or some shit.

Anyway I'm currently studying linguistics at UMCP - at least we have a decent program though.

No advice other than what everyone tells college kids, talk to as many people as you can, everybody's trying to make friends. And why do you think you know me?
>>9818345
That depends on how social you are. I liked it because I enjoy meeting new people. There's your usual boring administrative stuff but that's all orientations, the games are corny shit but everything you do is meant to introduce you to people, so I didn't mind. At night there's cool stuff going on, I played capture the flag for like two hours and had a good time. Some of the future greek kids will slink off to frats and get drunk, which is very much against both faset rules and greek rules but nobody enforces any of that.

How do we go about this anon? This is giving me anxiety.

L&S pleb planning on studying physics+math, physics+cs, or math+cs. Moderately worried that I'm in over my head and fucking myself out of the option of grad school. Low expectations for actually pulling off a double major (aside from physics+math).

>>9824631
I have no idea, anon. I suppose my plan is to ask my professors what I ought to do. I would join teach for America, but by doing so I'd anger my mother who hates them. I have no resume and I have never worked a day in my life. I don't say that with any pride.

I hope my senior thesis is impressive enough to help me get accepted into any decent program. I'm thinking about applying to grants or other programs to also help boost my chances. With everyone going for engineering these days, I imagine there might some departments that might want me.

If I can, I plan on going immediately to grad school for literature. I would like to stay in education for as long as I live.

>>9824653
Go for physics and math if you end up double majoring. CS is a meme degree, in a university as good as berkeley you'll pick up two or three programming languages just from physics classes and then you can get all you'd get out of CS with a summer spent studying it.
Good luck anon, I wish my scholarship didn't have a limited amount of credit hours so I could add a second major too.

It's alright, but everyone is an illiterate normalfag. I've a few good friends but that's it. Tried reaching out to other studies, like English (my minor), but all they do is talk about GoT and Trump's latest scandal, it's very tiring.

>>9824596
For me it was a no brainer. Where else to research Japanese literature than in Japan?

If you want to study something directly unrelated to Japan, STEM or something, during the screening interview you're gonna be asked why you want to do it in Japan. I presume the best possible answer is that you found a professor in Japan that focuses on the topic you want to research. And of course later you'll have to secure that professor's agreement to guide you.

You only need to finish undergrad to apply for the "research student" program. But as I said, I heard that it's really competitive in countries with high population. And for topics unrelated to Japan, I presume they cut away anyone who doesn't have a good reason to research said topic in Japan.

>But, at least my English Composition class taught Douglas Coupland and let me write a paper on AI.

Sure as hell beats my "accelerated composition" class, shit was so vapid all I really recall is going over how the pictures in some news article were meant to made the guy look crazy, half a class showing Disney songs and how they exhibited gender roles (Gaston was one of them obviously), and one of the choices for the last assignment being an essay about a social justice (her words) topic. Also took a "literature in 20th/21st century context" class as a gen ed, first day was talking about zombies and the rest was pretty low-level "this book reflects x crazy thing about modernity" stuff (I remember the instructor praising my "understanding of how things work" as unparalleled for my final essay that amounted to "dude Gattaca lmao").

The schools "brainwashing" students with Marxism/progressivism meme isn't 100% baseless, but it's non-committal as fuck.

I've never been to Paris (with the exception of one time when I was around 4) and I'm really excited about it.Though I've been accepted in this uni it's hellish to find a place to live at a decent price when you don't have much.

Why are all you faggots coming to Austin? Leave us alone it's already hard enough to not catch autism going downtown.
