Don't forget to demand the extra 300 points or so be added to your SAT scores for being brown. You will need them. It's obvious you will avoid trying to pass for white in this case.

I will. I will say that i have a very diverse heritage and that i identify as multi racial or "some other race" and that im very diverse racially. That is what i say, usually, its not even a lie. I think I wont be able to study in the US im not even sure it would be a good thing since my mum is old, and my sister works and lives here in austria, and my mum is old and lives in austria. Not sure it is a good idea to move to the other side of the world leaving them. Actually im just curious about the meeting, about the talk, what she will say, the informations. Anyways its a not-binding talk, and informations only.

Yes, hang around your family. Nothing to gain from moving here, considering Austria offers you better bennies. I'm glad I got to spend time with my mother in her last few years and take care of her.

I agree. Maybe there are possibilites of studying for a certificate online via zoom, not being on campus. Or not complete graduate studies. I just check all possibilities.

why are you curious about us?....

 

[Mortimer]

why are you curious about us?....

Probably because of the mass media pop culture and Hollywood i have no other explanation

He's heard we give a lot more money to deadbeats, and wants to move here. His relatives also tell their cousins back home how easy it is to steal here and get away with it, especially under Obama and Biden.

 

[Mortimer]

Im aware of it but there is lots of cool stuff like a nation founded on the principles of the constitution freedom diversity etc eventhough it probably sounds better on paper then what it actually is as there is certainly injustice or corruption too

America Is the Last Hope of Civilization

We were the first hope and we can go back to that like no other nation. We've lost our way, but we 'have good memories, so abandoning the Postmodern detour shouldn't be a problem.

Yesterday evening I had my zoom meeting


Zoom Meeting with Alex Sajjadi, Associate Director of Admissions and Recruitment, about opportunities at Franciscan School of Theology.

Alexandra is a beautiful woman in her mid thirties i guess or late twenties/early thirties

We didnt talked long, maybe ten minutes
-She asked me why i want to study at their University
I said im quite the religious person and want to do somethng in the field of religion and i found it exciting and interesting to study in the USA in English
- She said, "Sure" and didnt asked more
-She then asked what my highest education level is if i have a bachelors in theology
I explained that i have matura, which is the equvivalent of a high school diploma and that i studied law, and did some courses in law but that i do not have a bachelors degree
-She then said at the Francsican of Theology they offer only master studies and certificate studies at graduate level but all studies require a bachelor in theology first, and therefore im not eligible
-She said there are other universities in the USA where i could study

That was all

Details: It was cool and interesting to talk to her, in english, it went smooth she didnt asked me to repeat anything or that she didnt understood me, it went smooth as if it isnt a foreign language

I asked to take a screenshot for my documentation and evidence and she said, "sure"

 

[Mortimer]

She didnt asked me anything about my racial or ethnic background, she just said its exciting that im in austria and a international student.

 

[Mortimer]

bump

anyone has any question maybe for me, about the meeting

 

[Mortimer]

I wrote a thank you note, i send her a email

Here is what i wrote:

Dear Miss Alexandra Sajjadi

I wanted to thank you for our Zoom meeting today

I didn't know that the Franscican School of Theology offers only Master Studies, if i had known that I would immediately know I'm not eligible because it's not different in Austria or anywhere else.

Maybe I can pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Austria, and later go for Master Studies to the USA at some University in whatever State, or whatever University. I certainly would have more chances to be eligible if I have a Bachelor's Degree.

It was exciting to talk to you on the other side of the Atlantic and in English. So it wasn't a waste of time for me, it was exciting to talk on camera in English with you and interesting.

Thank you for your time,

Regards,
