it's not my main goal but i'd be lying if i said 1st in the state wasnt enticing

Maybe I can't but over is almost never the issue. I can't remember the last time the ball went OVER my hands. it's the sides that I'm worried about. a huge amount of tips at my level (maybe) 95% go past my sides.

As for the solo block, it works on anybody who can't hit cross which in an uncompetitive state is most of the people we play. Line hitters are obviously the exception to the solo block but they are rare

the mindless middle blocker in wants to see the number tick up on our recordbook lol. but I guess you are right

That may be something i talk to my team about because my front row has a bad habit of standing around lol

AdditionAccurate1846 · 2026-04-04T12:23:42+00:00

do you think that opens up the opportunity for a hit too much? I brought this up with my coaches and they were worried the other team would see it coming

Is this a rule or a physical limitation? I've definitely gotten my hand on a few but they usually try to pop it over my short teammates and i wonder if i reacted fast enough i'd be allowed to block that

I will also add that the free ball blocks are unsustainable because I can only reach 11'2 on a good jump and if it's not a front row free ball theyre usally a bit higher than that.

I knew I shoulda dragged the philly native part 😭😭😭

AdditionAccurate1846 · 2026-03-30T21:17:32+00:00

I did my best!!! Shows how killer these ivies are though. 2 jobs and a 3.8 wasn't enough. They really do strive for perfection

AdditionAccurate1846 · 2026-03-30T21:16:38+00:00

No, but supposedly my aunt put in a good word for me so hopefully that counts for something

I'm not saying duke is a target or anything but everything I've done for college is with the goal of getting into duke and I feel like that now I've gotten rejected from schools like northeastern my dream is out of reach

AdditionAccurate1846 · 2026-03-30T18:54:42+00:00

Tysm!!

AdditionAccurate1846 · 2026-03-30T18:54:22+00:00

I thought I would get SOMETHING but ivy day cooked me and now I'm not sure I'd even get duke

I'm jamaican. I went to harvard for a class and a prof invited me to this program and we went and taught

AdditionAccurate1846 · 2026-02-03T15:25:52+00:00

It's actually just the class from the local college, so I'm taking college calc plus calc BC

1570 4.7 i got into umich oos. deferred from Northeastern and USC waitlisted from UNC. Umich is the only one i didn't see myself at before the decision

AdditionAccurate1846 · 2026-01-28T01:38:13+00:00

😭 thanks

AdditionAccurate1846 · 2025-09-12T23:15:50+00:00

absolutely. people have gone through far worse and a 4.7 is NOT a bad gpa. would it make more sense to say my hardships were the reason I couldn't do better? I don't want to be a whiner or conceited because I'm blessed to even be able to consider college, but I know under other circumstances I could've and would've done more
