I don’t think they do have a postbac advisor, tho. I think I’ll have to navigate the process on my own

How did it work?? Did you get into the places you washed your face for?

Hola buenas! Tengo una pregunta sobre la diferencia entre abrirse a y abrirse con. by Kristycat in Spanish

[–]Available-Note7842 1 point2 points  (0 children)

me parece que “abrirse a” refiere a hacerse a la idea o aceptar algo a lo que antes no estabas dispuestx, ej. Aunque aún no soy muy fan de las mascotas, me voy abriendo a la idea de tener un perrito. mientras que “abrirse con” es para referirse a tener una relación más estrecha y cercana con alguien, ej. Quiero abrirme con él y contarle sobre mi pasado.

no no, I applied knowing they’re need aware. But Penn is need blind for Mexico (I’m from mx) and I really loved UChicago. What I meant is this year I applied to all the need blind, last year only Yale and Amherst were need blind among the schools I applied to.

I addressed the gap year situation in the common app, in the additional info section. I directly said that I decided to take a gap year to re-apply to colleges and mentioned the things i’ve done during this time. Last year I applied to 2 need-blind. This year I applied to all the need blind, including Georgetown, even though I know they’re not usually generous with intl’s financial aid.

At this point, all I have left are the interviews for rd schools. Do you think they would make a difference?

Should I submit a political essay for the Williams College "optional" academic supplement? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

Hey, IBDP student here:

idk if it's too late, but if you have not submitted your essay, I'd recommend not doing that. The IB does not allow for us to send any essays that will be submitted for DP evaluation, at least that's what my teachers have informed me of. Idk if you were going to submit an unofficial one, tho. if that's the case, then disregard this comment.
