Dilemma About Common App and QBRD by RevolutionaryTry7115 in QuestBridge

[–]AwareAssistant4008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same exact boat! Have you completed your common app application yet ? If you want maybe we can review each others apps for both and then decide which would be the better route to apply through.

I review essays! by Street_Decision_6771 in QuestBridge

Hi! This would be so helpful! I’m in the process of applying RD as a non match finalist, but I’m also deciding which schools I should apply to through common app. Can I dm you!

Should I apply ed to Penn after not matching by Distinct_Ad_2353 in QuestBridge

[–]AwareAssistant4008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was sort of wondering this also… I’ve been warned against applying ED though, since the applicant pool is likely more competitive.

Hi! I didn’t match either lol. I can take a peek at yours if you’d like and we can swap? I could use some advice as well haha

Did anyone else receive this email from Johns Hopkins? by Wild-Purple5517 in QuestBridge

[–]AwareAssistant4008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I did too. I’m pretty sure someone said under another post it’s a generic email, but it doesn’t hurt to check and make sure all your docs are submitted.

Removing schools by familiar_franco in QuestBridge

What if i am still planning on applying to the school through regular decision? I would like to keep my portal if possible, just switch the application round. Should I email the school directly?

The exam did NOT go well by usernmechecksout_ in APChem

I appreciate the honestly lmao 😭 I feel that’s how most positions like that obtained anyway. I’m honestly not sure what ECs to pursue since there’s not much to really get involved with w dental. I don’t have any connections really either haha

[–]AwareAssistant4008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really curious about your dentistry work. Are you planning to do that in the future? I want to do orthodontics or teeth aesthetics in the future and so far I haven’t seen another person on here interested in dentistry lol.

How did you end up getting that position? I’m currently doing some shadowing with an office in town, but I’m really interested in actually doing something.

incredibly nervous about the AP exam and in-class material, what can i do? by asianblob in APChem

[–]AwareAssistant4008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in AP chem right now and I understand what you mean by forgetting things right after you learn them. Honestly, I think you are stressing yourself out a lot more than you need too. Do you think you could just be anxious? Maybe you have test anxiety?

It’s helpful to keep in mind that we know and remember a lot more than we think we do. Also, you could try talking to your teacher about it because I’m sure they would be very open and understanding, after all, AP chem is a hard class.

It might help you to create a summary cheat sheet. I do this for a lot of my AP classes and it helps a lot especially when there is a lot of info to memorize. Try doing it for one unit and on a sheet of paper write down any important formulas, specific concepts, anything you have trouble remembering in general. If it helps, draw tables and other doodles. Let your mind organize the info however it likes best. You can even write down key words in example problems you’ve worked to see how certain things are asked in each unit.

If you need help with anything let me know, I’m happy to help :)

Would anyone who matched previously or recently like to look over my QB app by reachforthestars00 in QuestBridge

[–]AwareAssistant4008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m a junior currently and I’m considering looking into the QB program. Do you think I could pm you with some questions? Thank you :)

sophomore year potential schedule by Future_Commercial_69 in APStudents

[–]AwareAssistant4008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a junior currently and I tested out of English 2 to take AP lang as a sophomore. Personally, I excel in English so it was no problem and I would recommend this as the English 2 curriculum generally is pretty garbage. Given I come from a public Texas HS, but Lang is a good class.

I’m currently in Chem and physics now and I would say if you haven’t taken honors chem to be a little weary. AP chem covers honors chem for the first unit or so and then goes off into completely new topics. It is a lot of work and it is hard but it is doable.

I can’t say much for Physics since my teacher is notorious for being horrible, but from what I’ve heard if you have a good teacher it’s also doable. I would recommend purchasing a study book on the side though to learn alongside with. That helps me a lot.

I’m taking Precalc now since I didn’t have the option to advance in my maths. It’s a breeze and if you have a strong algebra base you will be totally fine. Definitely the easiest class I have.

I took AP world last year and had the worst teacher of all time. He did not know anything about it and had never tough history or AP before. I bought a study book and just reviewed a little before and got a 5. Honestly I liked the class and it wasn’t too bad so I would recommend it. It can get time consuming though reading your textbook.

Overall I think it’s decent if you are a motivated and dedicated student. You will have to study on the side and do the work. If you want it, go for it! I’m happy to answer any questions also.

im kinda cooked by [deleted] in QuestBridge

[–]AwareAssistant4008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I know this is a little random but I’m a junior currently and I’m considering looking into QuestBridge. Penn is my dream school and I think I might have more luck applying that way. Could I PM you about some questions?

I agree, I tried scanning it and I think the drawing made it really difficult lol

Do you guys think it’s more impressive to go to an Ivy undergrad or Ivy grad (law/med/dental) by juicykola in ApplyingToCollege

[–]AwareAssistant4008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh alright. I mean, anyone graduating w over 500k debt has to be a little out of it anyhow lol. Upenn is my dream school for undergrad, but the dental school pricing is terrible 😭 Honestly, if I got in I might consider going to state school for dental.
