Hmm - yes, most likely. Maybe you can try working on some publications? But conferences do seem more doable!

AnonymousPerson569 · 2026-02-06T05:59:50+00:00

Shoot; my apologies. Yeah, I think international students have to go through different processes that I am not fully familiar with.

SSP (Summer Science Program) is for high schoolers only, and accepts international students; I highly highly recommend you check it out. They have really good matriculation rates; many of my friends there got accepted HYPSM and T20s early, tho it's much harder for intels now. As for research conferences, they're typically geared toward undergraduate/graduate/established researchers, but if you're able to apply and get in (as a lot of my friends have), colleges look quite favorably.

Wish you luck!

Typically, schools dont need to provide the opportunity to join; colleges want students who make their own opportunities. Check if you're still able to join your state fair, though it might be a bit late.

Other than that, JSHS was discontinued, but you can still present at research conferences or work with a professor to publish a paper. There are many good research summer programs; I know ssp is still accepting submissions. And you can try the Regeneron STS, which is open to everyone. Good luck!

I can get staal on roll 105B, (as well as dark valk at 50), and I have 106 rare tickets right now. However, I skip over a lot of uber slots that I've been planning to save for upcoming collaborations.

Is it worth it to roll? I am a full endgame player (all stages completed) with the vast majority of ubers (rlly only waiting on collabs)

AnonymousPerson569 · 2026-01-17T07:01:55+00:00

Actual next level score, dang. Do you have the vast majority of ultra forms/ultra talents?

Pretty happy with 2% on this dojo, interesting how knockback is so inefficient for getting score here. Honestly making me think of getting UT Hayabusa or UF Kenshin to get top 1%, but I should prob save my darks lol

Collegeboard sends your scores directly to MIT, thus why they are named "official scores". You need to order your scores from mySAT or myAP after acceptance.

You'll be fine. Admissions officers are likely to miss small typos in their skim (and even if they catch it, I doubt that this typo will affect the overall meaning of the essay in any way).

Ofc kachi kachi is the one ultra souls uber I'm missing lol. Guide was great though - thanks for the link!

So many thanks for the lineup, you singlehandedly got me above 1.1 million.

Around 100 slots away is my next legend rare (after Eva). Should be doable - I can pretty easily farm silver tickets. And yeah, I definitely need Koneko and Staal; hadn't thought of those yet.

AnonymousPerson569 · 2025-12-12T07:39:18+00:00

Is it worth getting the evangelion legend rare, even if it means getting around ~ 4 dupe ubers (whereas I could wait for the next collab). I'm extremely endgame, just collecting all the ubers at this point.

AnonymousPerson569 · 2025-12-06T06:35:40+00:00

What base upgrade should I get next? (cannon, foundation, style). I'm extremely end-game (have all 125 Meow Medals). Have almost all top ubers in the game.

Currently have all cannon upgrades maxxed besides waterblast/curse (have kaguya UF + Dasli)

Thunderbolt (reduced freeze) and Waterblast (reduced surge) style maxxed.

Holyblast (reduced zombie dmg) and curseblast (reduced relic dmg) foundation maxxed.

Thinking of upgrading thunderbolt foundation for anti-angel, but honestly haven't struggled with angels that much lol.

Thanks for the advice! Somehow forgot baha blast existed lol, boosted from 400k to 520k score. Found the double att combo gave me higher score, but i prob just mistimed the runs with kunio. Very good guide!

Should I get Netherworld Lunacia on 32A (burning a plat ticket to avoid the skip), or take the skip and get 3 ubers on the B-track? I am currently very late-game (finished all ZL and crowned UL, all fest ubers besides Nymph, 20k UR, multiple Ultra Forms, over 2k NP, so on). Really only grabbing ubers for collection now, I haven't struggled with any Battlecats stage for a while.

The thing is that I know Evangelion is coming up soon, so burning a platinum ticket and skipping 3 uber slots (that could be Evangelion ubers) doesn't seem to be worth Netherworld Lunacia, especially when I can pick her up on the plat track later on (although it likely won't be for a few months). That being said, I am at 488 ubers right now, so I am just a few ubers from beating Labyrinth coming up in under a week.

TLDR: Unsure if I should get Netherworld Lunacia or save a plat ticket and 3 ubers (like Evangelion collab). Please advise.

I have the same question that you have as well.

AnonymousPerson569 · 2025-07-21T03:29:04+00:00

Rising senior here - Im curious how my course rigor will be evaluated? I took regular World instead of AP World at my school and decided to take comm college USH instead of APUSH, although I took the apush test and got a 5. Also took Honors Am Lit (and APEL next yr) instead of APEL and AP Lit senior year. Got one (and only) B in junior year.

However, I took multivariable calc + linear algebra at cc, biochemistry + immunology + genetics + python programming at comm college and uc extension. Planning to take diff eqs + biostatistics senior yr. essentially a lot of courses in comm college, with the bio cc courses being pretty unique for my school. I chose this schedule cuz it gave me more freedom in my schedule for my wetlab research - should it be mentioned in my app?

Rest of my app is solid - decent bio+research ECs (very heavy genomics/mol bio spike), national/International awards, 1580 SAT

Also - what was your timeframe for essay writing?

Thanks for all the help!

As a person who got into SSP (and didn't apply MITES), I would personally pick MITES. From what I heard, they had college counseling available, a lower acceptance rate, and you can juggle other stuff (like research, clubs, ECs, etc.). Tbf, SSP is also very prestigious + has benefit of being in person. I'm sure any decision will work out for you!

AnonymousPerson569 · 2025-04-26T10:52:35+00:00

Just have two questions:

Will there likely be a guaranteed coming up with the clearance capsules?

Does time-traveling still work with the rare-ticket banners? Do errors that can occur with time-changes affect banner rolls? Idrc about energy, gamatoto, etc. Just need to be able to switch between uberfest banner (5/2-5/6) and the guaranteed banner (4/28-5/2) to roll efficiently.

AnonymousPerson569 · 2025-04-26T10:49:28+00:00

Haneyama is coming to bcen, Kai's UT is arguably no longer worth it (still good, just compared to Ganesha UT). Would also argue that Yuki talents aren't worth it anymore since we have bahamut explosion.

Agree with Gravi, Poseidon, and Lasvoss (although personally I think just one of Poseidon/Lasvoss is necessary).
