@jeans3 the final bump. my market is gonna go live after ICML though!

@prismatic just resolved, got into UC San Diego!

@jeans3 got into masters at columbia so did the partial, intended advisors all didnt have funding so gave me the deans scholarship for MSAI

@jeans3 In the meantime, I went and did quantum computing at ibm research, demonstrating how ridiculously hard academia is right now that with no internships and only 2 months, I was able to land a $200k job offer for the best place to do research in quantum computing, yet I almost didn't get into phd. Just got into phd for UCSD a couple weeks ago.

@jeans3 Congratulations! I've also heard a lot of horror stories in this past cycle as well :(

@jeans3 bump on resolving this

@prismatic resolved everything that needed resolving-- JHU, UCSD and Columbia are still being weird

@jeans3 ah icic. ru planning on re-applying next cycle?

@prismatic If things don't work out, yeah. I'm interviewing as a software engineer just in case, but solid 50+% chance that I get in.

@jeans3 good luck and wish you all the best!

@prismatic it'll be fun to have another manifolder doing grad apps with me this cycle tho

@prismatic hey hey hey im non trivial competition, be scared if we do apply together lol \j

bought Ṁ10 NO

@jeans3 are you first author on all listed papers? or what position

@prismatic 2nd author for the recommendation systems ones, and 1st author on my honors thesis, 1st author on all in progress, 3rd author on in review publication for robotics

bought Ṁ5 NO

@jeans3 ah nice gl for apps!
