A friend introduced me to Chris Marker back in 2023. I rewatched Sans Soleil recently. There is nothing quite like it when it comes a “Film Essay”. Highly recommended!!

Hey everyone. Need some opinion on this, may sound a lil unhinged but please don’t be judgmental. M29 here from S.Asia (CGPA 3.1, GRE 338 (170V;168Q), 8 YOE in Operations/Data Analytics, founder of a business venture, Ex-Navy as well (lot of tours abroad).
Due to some issues, I rushed and applied late, in R3 only, and got rejected by Dartmouth, Columbia, Kellogg(awaited). Got accepted to some mid tier schools like Syracuse, Babson College & UIUC with good scholarships.
I don’t want to waste any time. I am intending to enroll in one, but want to apply again in R1 as a transfer student. Does that sound a). logical, b.) probable and c.) possible? Like going from a T50 to probably an M7? I think the fact that I applied for R3 lowered my chances maybe, hence the dilemma.
Hey, everyone. I am admitted to Babson’s 2 Year MBA Program (Fall,2026; incoming) and fortunately received an 85k Scholarship as well. However, still struggling to manage & plan funds. Can any of you guys guide me as to how or if, are there any on-campus work opportunities? (if yes, how much do they pay and all.)
Would also love to hear any additional advice/info for an incoming student. Thankyou!

Recently saw a thread on agnosticism and here to challenge a lot of folks who claim to be agnostics/atheism without having any solid foundation of what being a “believer” is all about.
Keep your queries meaningful and I’l try to explain some concepts as well as references.
Still remains a very monumental enlightenment period work. My favorite quote is: “Slaves in their bondage lose everything, even the desire to be free.”
