having a masters degree is probably a positive, it shows you can do grad level coursework and probably generated a strong rec letter

@jackfrost11770: Man, I watched a video summarizing the stuff I missed in Arcane. You know, all the boring mel and ambessa stuff and that shit is actually incredibly important to the lore. That stuff is all LeBlanc shit and LeBlanc is like one of the most powerful characters in league.
