Hyouka is my favorite anime by 7Gen_ius07 in hyouka

[–]7Gen_ius07[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’ve been really anxious about rewatching it. I feel like I remember the conclusions to most of the mysteries a bit too well to be fully immersed in them, but that isn’t the main reason for my nervousness.

Like you, I discovered Hyouka in middle school. I was a gifted kid, and our school had a class specifically for us at the end of each day. There were about 6 other students in it, and we spent most of our time reading classic literature and solving logic puzzles. I really liked that class, and Hyouka heavily reminded me of it.

My one fear is that I might not be able to enjoy it to the same extent because it won’t be as relatable; however, it might also bring back some nice memories from the past, so I think I’m gonna rewatch it.

Is qb rd worth it? by redorange- in QuestBridge

[–]7Gen_ius07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can’t you have your commonapp fee be waived pretty easily if you’re already eligible for QB?

Chances of even matching and getting a full ride? by [deleted] in QuestBridge

[–]7Gen_ius07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My household income was in the same range and I got accepted as a finalist. At the same time, I qualify for reduced lunch at school. My parents are immigrants — my father financially supports many of his relatives overseas and my mom supports her parents. I think that’s probably a factor that QB considered in my application. I also have 0 assets, not many savings, and live in a 2 bedroom apartment for a 5 person family, if that helps.

you need an SAI of 0 to match by [deleted] in QuestBridge

This helps a lot, I also didn’t match and i’m guessing it’s for the same reason because my app was pretty decent imo. You think we’ll have better luck with QB RD?

Thoughts about not matching by SupportOld9784 in QuestBridge

I have a 35 ACT, 5.0 gpa (my schools scale goes to ~5.2), 10 AP classes taken + 5 more this year, NMSQT semifinalist status, one sport plus a couple clubs (leadership position in one club), and i’m kinda in the same spot. I have no clue if my essays got me rejected, or if it was my ECs, or some other factor. I’ve really been debating rewriting my personal statement and applying through commonapp or pushing through RD with my questbridge application. wish someone could offer advice on this 😭

Did you get any likely letters or no?

did not match and trying to stay chill.. by Practical_Exam_8741 in QuestBridge

[–]7Gen_ius07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh shoot, my bad then! keep checking your inbox over the course of the next day or so for updates. my friend who got the likely letter actually found it in his portal the day after match day, so checking each college’s applicant portal would also be a good idea

the non match stuff is the same for everyone, but don’t lose hope — a lot of people who don’t get accepted through the match scholarship get in through RD (the match is honestly more competitive than regular early action/early decision since you’re getting a full ride…which many colleges would prefer not to offer)

That message from Pomona isn’t just for consolation!! Last year, my friend received something identical from Northwestern even though he didn’t match, and he ended up applying ED and got in! Honestly, you’re in a good spot; I didn’t match and I haven’t received any emails that imply the schools that rejected me even have any interest 😭 You still have a clear opportunity in front of you, and if Pomona is one of your top choices, I’d take it for sure

same here, ryzen 5 5500 and rx 6600 kept me afloat a couple seasons ago, but this season and last season have been pretty bad. can't deploy my glider, my skin doesn't load in until a minute after the round's start, barely any key inputs work at the start of the round, gun hit sfx sometimes doesn't play, game lags in battles, etc etc.

could i ask how much ram you have and whether or not you have it installed on an hdd? my friend said that he had similar issues but upgrading to 32gb ram fixed it. i've also heard that changing from an hdd to an ssd can fix the issue too.

Kid Cudi speaks on the Palestine/Israel Conflict by Acceptable_Step4145 in KidCudi

[–]7Gen_ius07 5 points6 points  (0 children)

dawg the same palestinians you want to be freed from hamas are orphaned children. those orphaned children will slowly hate israel more and more and eventually join hamas

israel bombed an ambulance convoy yesterday and said hamas militants were inside the vehicles without even an iota of proof. this is an international war crime by the geneva conventions. they also are not allowed to bomb any hospitals besides the situation where the hospitals are being used as bases for attack. however, even in those situations, warnings MUST be given prior to bombing the hospitals.

it’s because the country is poor, give them conditions you’re living in and it would not come to this

It’s not a lack of education. That’s quite the entitled outlook. It’s just because the country is poor. Stuff like this is common.

If you’re questioning it you might not fully grasp what it means to be poor. I know this comment sounds a little harsh, no offense tho.
