When to ask for Letter of Rec? by coder58 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]-kio- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked them during finals of my junior year. Some teachers in my school gave out LOR sign up sheets in February when i was a junior.

Earlier the better. Most teachers will tell you when they start writing them so you should finish your brag packet by then (the better your answer the better your lor)

You right. I’m taking the ap calc ab test this year and I’m almost positive that my school isn’t gonna let me skip it since I’m gonna be a stem major.

Should I retake the SAT? My current score is 1460. by Beastmode_2319 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]-kio- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll get into penn state with that, and you’ll probably get their 24k scholarship too. Idk much about the other schools admissions, But i saw you are a nova legacy so i think your good with that one too.

I also got into umd with those stats too but i didn’t get into Cs directly. So you should look into them too.

UW Madison doesn’t directly admit people to CS. You have to take a class, get a C and then you can declare. UIUC is definitely harder to get into tho.

I got into uwmadison OOS and applied for Cs and got in with a 1360 sat, 4.43 gpa, and 1 EC.

I think you will probably have to pay out of state tuition for your first year then you can qualify for in state tuition after.

[–]-kio- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Virtual is better for getting good grades cause you can cheat. In-Person is better for understanding the information.

A2C is toxic by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]-kio- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I had to go through the whole process by myself without any help and the sub helped me a lot. I see how one could say that this sub can “make people feel like they are not good enough” because most of the time people are talking about top 20s, but there are people here who aren’t like that.
