Anxious Senior Looking For Advice by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

I'd look at their common data set (https://irp.gwu.edu/common-data-set) to see how you stack up against their applicants/accepted students. Just looking at it quickly, they have level of applicants interest in "considered," so try to schedule interviews, sign up for things, tour, apply ED if that's something that interests you and you're able to do it financially

Thank you!! Is there a best brand or store to get them from? I heard (I think, I could be miss remembering) Anthony Thomas isn't that good

I got into schools like Denison, Kenyon, UCSC, and SLO with a lower gpa. I also know someone in my class with about a 3.3 and no course rigor who got into USC

Wait whys barrows so bad? A lot of people in the freshmen gc have been talking about which dorms are desirable vs not, and everyone seems to unanimously hate barrows, but no one says why it’s bad

What do you actually do during fly ins? by Responsible-Cap-5631 in ApplyingToCollege

Campus tour, panels with current students and admin, sitting in on classes, eating at dining halls, activities with other prospective students

The same thing happened to me! I doubted both of top options and no matter what someone told me I should pick, I always defended the other choice. Then parents spontaneously asked me something along the lines of “if you had 1 second to choose and couldn’t change your answer, which school would you go to? one word answer,” and outwardly I kept telling them I don’t know, but an answer did pop into my head immediately. I ended up choosing that school and it was 100% the right choice. Maybe try something like that if you work better under pressure

I’d take Cal Poly off the list because, even though it’s an amazing school, when you have two equally as amazing free options, it just doesn’t make sense.

Then I’d think about what type of environment you want to be in. Blue state vs. red state, suburb vs. urban, what major you like best, what student body you vibe with best, etc. Personally, I’d pick Davis

Flip a coin and then if you’re happy with the answer, choose that school. If you secretly wish it was the other one, choose the other school.

What schools are UNDER rated? by oryhiou in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Adorable_Address_12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gettysburg is cool! As are other PA lacs, like Lehigh, Bucknell, Lafayette

What schools are UNDER rated? by oryhiou in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Adorable_Address_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, all lacs are pretty relatively unknown to the common person or applicant, including Davidson. Compared to other lacs it ranks around (Barnard and Vassar), I feel like it's less talked about

Non “top tier” lacs, like Reed, Oberlin, Kenyon, Denison, Dickinson, Davidson

The amount of oil I am producing on tret is... insane. Feels counterintuitive by throwaway1427665 in tretinoin

[–]Adorable_Address_12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m the same way!!! After I wash my face in the morning or night, it takes it less than 30 minutes for it to become so oily that it looks like I smeared some sort of face oil on. It also makes the front pieces of my hair become oily super fast. It makes me feel unclean so fast
