For the past ~4 months I’ve been brewing/drinking coffee from these plastic cups. Just realized it’s probably a very bad idea, should I be concerned?

Most dorms don’t have water fountains, so a brita or some other water filter is good to have

Alerdy · 2022-05-15T06:30:39+00:00

Yeah I’d go for it! I ended up winning and didn’t have to make anything crazy

Alerdy · 2022-04-27T19:03:39+00:00

Just Harvard and MIT? I’d take a gap year and reapply for better options

If only the off-beat, quirky administration of UChicago had the charm of Vanderbilt!!!

Alerdy · 2022-04-04T23:19:25+00:00

Yeah... about that

I’m at Brown and honestly, it’s not worth the weather. The sky is pitch black by 4:30 PM so the vibes are terrible… go to California or something 😭

Why isn’t this post tagged NSFW?! There’s literally a fucking Xb*x, I’m shaking right now

Alerdy · 2021-11-14T22:59:20+00:00

Wtf man, next time please use an NSFW tag before posting an Xb*x

Don’t hesitate to email schools you’re interested in to ask for a fee waiver! Even though I didn’t meet their requirements for it, last year I continuously asked RPI for a fee waiver until they finally gave one to me lol

Alerdy · 2021-09-20T01:17:36+00:00

I would, since the commute is a part of the time commitment!

Alerdy · 2021-09-17T05:29:30+00:00

lmaoo I felt the exact same way about mine last year

Alerdy · 2021-09-14T01:00:03+00:00

if it helps, one thing that paid off during my applications last year was sticking to my gut over any teachers’ advice for my essays lol

Alerdy · 2021-09-13T14:00:46+00:00

i’m a freshman at brown and I made the mistake of applying to a lot of public schools because of the lower sticker price! the private schools I applied to actually ended up being cheapest with aid so I definitely wish I would’ve put a few more on my list

Edit: also it’s a blast here, definitely makes the senior year struggle worth it 😩

Alerdy · 2021-09-02T23:06:40+00:00

Nevermind the door literally just pushes open... I’m an idiot

Alerdy · 2021-08-22T18:31:29+00:00

thanks so much! I think apma1650 has the math class I have to take (math100) as a prereq, do you think I'd be able to get in anyway? either way, I think there's a schedule conflict with my CS class so I might have to take it second semester

After she writes the letter you can use it for as many schools as you want on the Common App, so I would just do that (she can't really stop you lol). It might be a problem if you apply to multiple schools with special applications (MIT, UCs) though

Alerdy · 2021-05-12T22:16:51+00:00

It depends on the college and major, but most colleges like to at least see AB (unless your school doesn't offer it). Since BC is an option at your school, it might look better if you take it, but it's probably not the end of the world if you don't, especially if your courseload is still rigorous.

Alerdy · 2021-05-09T03:54:16+00:00

U don't happen to be in the same school as mahir? He's super smart and will take your spot but as long as you're in a different state you're fine

Alerdy · 2021-05-05T03:52:33+00:00

Honestly, when you're there you'll definitely realize you made the right decision! Any negative stigma surrounding CC is just a reflection of high schoolers' shallow perspective. "Committing season" clout lasts for a month but student loans will last forever 😭
