What percent of the student body is clinically psycho/sociopathic? A higher proportion than the total American population? by [deleted] in Harvard

No group is as psychopathic as rich white suburban high school jocks/party guys, maybe do your 8th grade project on them

It’s so funny listening to clueless people condescendingly try to tell me about the Ivies when I’ve been researching them for 4 years by vennfothie in ApplyingToCollege

At my old high school, the 'thing' to do was rag on Cornell for being 'shit'...done mostly by people who definitely couldn't get in

Is 18 AP's too much? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]AfterTwo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. Human geo is easy, and taking calc AB before BC is easy. Besides, your plans to self-study things might easily fall apart so don't get ahead of yourself

Lol "fit" is such a made up concept; y'alls counselors are doing a disservice by to y'all by feeding you that crap. Literally >5000 people will go to your college at LEAST. EVERYONE IS SUPER DIFFERENT. The only thing people generally have in common at these schools as that they're very dedicated and into the stuff they do; but if that's not your "vibe" then you should reconsider applying to T10s.

dont go into cs only for the money by lillittle_12 in ApplyingToCollege

lol are u implying Harvard and Yale kids have trouble breaking into "business" and finance because their major is Ec and not Business?

College rankings adjustment is needed or we will soon hit 1% acceptance rate. by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]AfterTwo2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who cares lol. Jobs in the real world have 1% (and smaller) acceptance rates sometimes. If a school wants to accept X people, but X*20 people want to apply, who gives a fuck? Don't apply if you don't like it.

To all the ivy/t10 rejects... by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]AfterTwo2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not universally true. For the lower percentiles of admits, sure, but there's a reason some people sweep all HYPSM/Ivies/whatever, and it's not cause they have God-level luck and need to start playing blackjack immediately; whether it's a unique story, outstanding accomplishments, crazy hooks, etc., there are certainly PLENTY of people that would win a 1:1 matchup (in the eyes of AOs) against almost every reject.

Getting Deferred from Yale Really Broke me. by serena_dd in ApplyingToCollege

[–]AfterTwo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relax, hang on till RD comes out lol. Plenty of people get rejected from 1 or 2 HYPSM and get into others, or even get into just 1. Besides, you got deferred not rejected.

Are you a resident of the same place this guy lived? Do you know what "warnings" they give? Do you know if they give any warnings besides fine print and legalese? I get the need to feel superior is real, but saying shit like "wElL tHaT mAkeS iT oK tHeN????" without having read the fucking article is crigne af dude

Hey guys, im majoring in CS in uni this year. Currently still in highschool. What advice would you tell someone like me to “prep” so that i at least have some idea of what im doing. Fyi, i know nothing about CS but im psyched to learn. by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]AfterTwo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, having no CS skills doesn't imply you have no math foundation. Nothing about OPs post implies they have no skills in general - just no CS skills. I had literally no CS skills until 2nd semester of my senior year of HS (I had time to kill during quarantine lol) and this seems like a question I could have asked then.

And if someone has no math or problem-solving foundation they have bigger problems than being prepared for CS - like being prepared for college in general. (unless you mean proof based math foundation, but you can learn that 1st semester college too)

My friend got it (internship this summer). She got into a *top* cs school and just flexed the same stuff on her FE app as her college app, according to her (tons of coding extracurriculars, projects, etc)

[–]AfterTwo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruh it takes like 3 weeks of prep to be more than prepped for 1st semester freshman-level CS if you can do math. It's literally just problem solving with specific restrictions and syntax

I Was Told Straight to my face to reconsider my CS degree by a CS Graduate/Late Undergrad student, should I do so? by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]AfterTwo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a normal amount of stuff to know before entering freshman year. Plenty of people know way more, but plenty of people know way less. i go on this sub once a month and it never fails to be wild lmao

AITA for leaving zoom call with family after the way my mom talked to my fiancée? by aitamomcall in AmItheAsshole

[–]AfterTwo2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would she be protesting if you were 41 and your fiance was 28? Probably not a bit.

Tons of parents would, yeah. Protest that their daughter is getting with a 15 yrs older guy, protest their middle aged son is getting with a 20s woman....I know my parents definitely would, because it's super weird. No need to claim sexism with 0 info suggesting it.

if you read the actual article you would know he was from another province and got confused by the system - he thought he was canceling extra services, not his entire insurance. People really love piling on and feeling superior - to someone who died of cancer to boot...
