Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Standford, Berkeley, and MIT are the top 3, not necessarily in that order. If you can get in any of them, by all means!!!! Though Berkeley is by far the most affordable among the three (the other 2 are private ).

      Stanford and MIT are two of the richest schools in the entire world. You'll receive 100% of the aid you qualify for at either school. There's no reason why they should cost any more than a public.

        The problem is, what happens if all of a sudden in the 3rd year you don't qualify anymore ... that 30K per semester bill just for tuition will seriously make you reconsider your choices quick!

        I paid about $4-$5K a year when I was going through UCLA. For Ph.D. (my advisor paid me as a grad student researcher as well), and the last year I got a fellowship which covered everything and then some. Heck of a deal if you ask me! But yah but having any of those top 3 names on your diploma definitely makes a big difference.

          Heck, it makes no difference to me. Biology students have their grad programs paid for regardless of where they go, plus a stipend.

            With computer science and electrical engineering grad programs (and most other engineering that I know of) it's not that easy. I know here at UW Madison a lot of students have a tough time finding an advisor that can support them (financially). But one thing which is important is that there is always a way for the really good students. It's the average and below average ones that need to watch out. And if one goes to a top top school, chances of one being the average kid gets to be much higher

              I'm not in grad school yet. I will go back to grad school next year or the year after, depending on how long my current job takes to complete. I disagree with whoever said seeing the $$$ will make you not want to go back to school. I did the whole poor student thing and now I'm out making money and can't wait to go back in to graduate school. It all depends on if you've liked school and the whole learning setting in the past. If you've never liked it, making money is obviously going to call to you more than going back to school and getting educated more...

              Hoping to get a Ph.D. in Molecular bio/genetics/biochemistry/cell biology/developmental biology from somewhere without having to be in school for 8 years!

              p.s. Seapahn if your grades stay above-par I don't see why you suddenly wouldn't qualify for financial aid and/or scholarships. I completed four years at USC with $33K price tag each year (since I lived there and everything) and only have $39K in loans now that I'm out. Of course when I get to grad school I'll have tuition remission and a stipend (like Lose said) because bio students are lucky like that

                I have this cooky dream of working and completing a civil engineering degree in night school. Am I totaly nuts, what do you think?

                  Kooky dream indeed. I think you're totally nuts. Is this even offered anywhere? isn't night school geared more towards completing a high school or associates degree or something? Civil engineering?! You nut.

                    At the graduate level (I'm talking engineering, especially CS and EE), grades are hardly a factor for anything anymore. Most grad students automatically get A's and B's by just showing up to class. For Masters you still take some classes but for PhD, classes are only like the first year or two ... it usually takes 4-5 years to do a Ph.D. typically like at UCLA. Qualifying for fellowships and/or getting support from a professor usually depends on your success and abilities (and potential) to do research and publish.

                      Ahh that's right. I forgot we were talking on the graduate level. This lack of funding thing is one of the things that scares me about choosing to get my PhD. What if a few years from now the already volatile situation with cloning and stem cell research gets even worse and I'm left high and dry? I guess you just try your best to do some kick @$$ work that's not shoddy and excellent enough to warrant more funding. That, and try working for someone with a guaranteed grant for certain necessary research.
