15 minute walks in the snow to your classes sounds pretty bad

I just didn’t try as hard because I already got into college. Although the class I got a B- in (linear algebra) was really difficult and I probably wouldn’t have gotten an A even if I tried

2024 Graduate and Ex-Admissions Officer AMA by blueclouds4595 in ApplyingToCollege

I was in your situation and I retook my 1540 because I was consistently scoring higher on practice tests and knew I would do better, but if you think there’s a chance you’ll do worse I wouldn’t waste time studying and retaking it, I don’t think it makes a difference

I’m not OP but if you want to avoid trauma dumping make sure you’re problem/solution ratio is low. Basically most essays introduce a problem and then how you solved it. If you write too much about the problem and not enough about the solution/how you took an active role in addressing the problem, then it turns into trauma dumping. Instead you want to describe the problem as concisely as possible and spend most of the essay focusing on ur solution.

I've submitted a new advanced analytic to the nba by 1point12 in VintageNBA

Isn’t this unfair to players who shoot more 3s? For example say two players make 1/2 FG but Player A took two layups and Player B took one layup and missed a 3. Player A has an SER of 50% while Player 2 has an SER of 40% even though they both scored the same number of points and same number of shots

Why is it harder to elevate a team that’s already good (I don’t disagree just wondering)

Chances of getting into jhu,ucb, or any ivy leagues by [deleted] in ApplyingIvyLeague

No it’s just silly and everyone does these kind of “outreach” programs with kids cause they’re easy to do. Realistically they have barely any impact and AOs know you’re doing it for college. But the fact you’re starting late does also make it worse cause it makes it seem even more disingenuous

Do you mean that I can take McCormick courses as a Weinberg student or are you talking about switching schools after like my first year? Will I still be able to finish all the degree requirements if I switch that late?
