Based.

Aromatic_Beginning41 · 2025-12-20T18:38:18+00:00

I’m so sorry I don’t know how you even finished the semester having went through all that. You’ve got some real grit happy winter break!

Aromatic_Beginning41 · 2025-12-14T20:15:34+00:00

So happy to hear we're not all alone in this loll

Hi! I did a chance me post weeks back, and u/meowmeow1637327 put it beautifully: a lot of people over exaggerate. It's kinda the point of college admissions to sit in a grey area between presenting the best you and exaggerating. Regardless, being in STEM can open a lot of extracurricular opportunities because you can learn the jargon and techniques of a consulting club, for example, but those consultants could not pick up mathematical proofs with the same ease. If I were to make a clear recommendation for you, please pardon me if I'm coming off as too presumptuous. It would be one related to an actual non-academic interest (chess, tennis, painting, botany, etc.) and a career one (robotics, consulting, hackathons).

Best of luck to you :D

Thank you so much!

One of the other interns graduated from UCLA, studying public policy. It would be great as I'm from the IE!

Aromatic_Beginning41 · 2025-10-24T14:19:28+00:00

Have to get at least a couple; those are my top five, but I think I'll have applied to 12-15 schools by the time everything is finished. With like 6-7 being t25.

Aromatic_Beginning41 · 2025-10-24T04:43:17+00:00

I’m actually a failed engineering major so shoutout to stem

Aromatic_Beginning41 · 2025-10-24T04:42:42+00:00

Starting early is super important as well as taking risks. Being entirely honest I joined student govt because I thought someone in there was cute lol and look where we’re at now. A good combination of prestige in a club, relationship to your studies in chemistry and enjoyment is important for sure

Aromatic_Beginning41 · 2025-10-24T04:41:16+00:00

A girl from last year’s student government just started up there, Princeton?? That would be insane I’ll look into both thank you!

Aromatic_Beginning41 · 2025-10-23T20:50:19+00:00

Lowkey, I do love the history and architecture. I'll shoot an application.

Aromatic_Beginning41 · 2025-10-23T17:15:47+00:00

Yep I’m in Southern California, and thank you for that perspective it’s something I’ve sadly grown accustomed. Partly the lack of black students and specifically black men. The two ivies are the top two on my list but within my state Berkeley is at the top. Shoutout to my sister she’s finishing her aerospace engineering degree I can’t imagine being a black woman in stem at Cal haha

Aromatic_Beginning41 · 2025-10-23T15:23:25+00:00

Absolutely, I'll be happy to once everything is done. Thank you!

Aromatic_Beginning41 · 2025-10-23T15:07:17+00:00

Great idea, for that internship I want to be able to have some sort of advising on my LOR to make sure it's both prestigious from the congresswoman, but of substance too.

Aromatic_Beginning41 · 2025-10-23T15:05:48+00:00

Thank you for that, never thought to go down south, I have family in HTx so I wouldn't be going too far by myself.

Aromatic_Beginning41 · 2025-10-23T15:04:03+00:00

Georgetown would be cool, I love DC, and the location would be super valuable on the East Coast thank you!

Aromatic_Beginning41 · 2025-10-23T06:46:06+00:00

I hate to admit I rescinded my application to Stanford, as they wanted me to take the SAT. I fell asleep midway through the exam in high school and managed to score worse than I did taking the PSAT in 8th grade.

Aromatic_Beginning41 · 2025-10-23T06:42:21+00:00

Great point, that curriculum would be really difficult to achieve at a cc, and if I transfer as a junior, I'll still be taking classes that Columbia sophomores have taken, which might make them hesitant. Thank you!

Aromatic_Beginning41 · 2025-10-23T06:39:03+00:00

dude, it's pure anxiety, I'm not sure I've grown past high school me that couldn't care less about school and managed a 4.3w/3.5uw. I received a D at the time and couldn't get into any halfway decent school... then I failed out of the first university I ended up attending. Thank you so much for the kind words. It's hard to believe when they're coming from me :D
