A quick definition of beta testing:

Beta testing is when people try out a new product or service, like software, in real-life situations to see how well it works. They do this for free and tell the developer if they like it, if they have any problems, and how it can be improved. Sometimes the developer will ask them to sign a paper saying they won't tell anyone else about the product. This is called a nondisclosure agreement. Beta testing is different from alpha testing because it happens after the product has already been tested by the developers themselves.

A more thorough explanation:

Beta testing is the process of testing products and services, especially software, under real-life conditions. This means that the product is tested by real users in real-world situations to see how it performs.

For example, a software company may release a beta version of their new app to a group of users for testing. These users will use the app and report any problems they encounter or suggest improvements to the developer. This helps the developer to improve the app before it is released to the public.

Consumers often engage in beta testing at no cost in exchange for providing feedback to the developer. However, to protect their trade secrets or avoid a statutory bar, the developer may require the user to sign a nondisclosure agreement.

Overall, beta testing is an important step in the development process as it allows developers to identify and fix any issues before the product is released to the public.

you should apply cornell. the lrap covers your loans if you make less than 120k a year. so you could do PI and get your loans forgiven with PSLF. i think you’d have a good shot at cornell

babycat

waspy wants everyone to go to Cornell and hang out with him

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

13:29

I've seen UGA give big money to mid 170s mid 3s before

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

13:30

good for big law and good for PI because no one does PI at cornell

TurboSplitter

13:30

@BruceSutter: NC, VA/DC, or Cali most likely. Also have ties to Chicago and Cinci

BruceSutter

13:30

I've also seen a few UGA grads go to Charlotte

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

plus we can drink milk tea together

BruceSutter

13:31

I'd add Northwestern and Gulc for sure although you might only get half at most at T14s if you get in. worth a shot though

TurboSplitter

13:32

that's the thing, I'd love to go to Gtown but I could never afford it in a million years lol. I still have to sort some shit out with the VA to determine if I have GI Bill eligibility, in which case fuck it we ball. But money is a big factor otherwise since I have 0 interest in BL

@TurboSplitter: look into schools LRAPs, a lot of schools will pay your loan payments if you do PI.

@TurboSplitter: I had to petition with the VA to get my GI Bill back but it worked. Takes like 30-90 days and free college is worth it

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio

13:39

I didn't lose it for bad reasons, predatory undergrad that over charged and drained nearly all of it for 6 classes

GodsPlanUltimately

13:39

:o That's so horrible

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio

13:40

A lot of schools will target and prey on active duty and veterans to steal as much of the GI bill as they can. It is ridiculous because the Army promoted and told me to attend the school

babycat

13:40

waspy come to nyc and we will drink milk tea

GodsPlanUltimately

13:41

That's absolutely disgusting that universities do that. Also milk tea is delicious ＼(≧▽≦)／

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: I'm in a weird gray area. When my dad died we became eligible for the Fry Scholarship, which is just the GI bill but for surviving families. I used that all up for undergrad, but my dad also transferred his GI to us before he died. So the question is, can I use that even though I already used the Fry Scholarship. There is an insane amount of conflicting info on that, so until I sit down with the VA I'll never know for sure

TurboSplitter

13:42

For now I'm assuming I have jack shit and will be pleasantly surprised to learn otherwise lol. Somewhere should hopefully give me a full ride otherwise it's LRAP time

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio

13:43

OOOOOOO Okay I remember you talking about that. Did you ever reach out to the gold star family organization to get set up for it? You or your mom can log into the VA website and just apply. It is a 2-4 week turn around

TurboSplitter

13:44

Yeah I've done research on it. Talked to local VA office but they had no idea what they were talking about lol. My mom has a bunch of weird login stuff she has to sort out with her VA account so I'm kind of in limbo until that gets figured out

BruceSutter

13:44

too many web portals. Big problem that doesn't get talked about

ClassyPleasantHeron

@BruceSutter: So true.

Most VA workers have no idea what they are doing which is why I suggested the Gold Star family member organization. They can be your advocate or guide at least to figure it out. Just have her use/set up a login.gov and that'll work across all VA website/apps. If you are a beneficiary you can set one up yourself as well.
