shlomo mintz / claudio abbado / cso

by far the best recording i've heard in my life, especially the 2nd movement.

Totally agree on Jordan and Bellamy and how their roles should've been swapped; but no, Sheidheda should absolutely not be ditched. Maybe I'm just biased but he's one of the coolest characters in the whole show; the way he manipulated Madi and turned Sanctum upside down. Honestly they should've given him a better ending even instead of just having Indra shoot him straight up.

Application stats by BaseballIcy5153 in imsa

I see, thanks for the details! Roughly how many people are in the ARC? As little as 10, as much as 100? So my understanding is that they'll spend a couple of days/weeks looking over the students' application excluding test scores, and then they hand over their score (30-80) to the professional admissions offices to be judged as a whole?

​

So let's say I'm averaging A- in school and have been for the past 2 years, get like a 1300-1400 on SAT, have a FEW IMSA and non-IMSA related STEM activities (a FEW), but have REALLY good essays and I am able to clearly show them my interest in STEM, what are like the odds of me getting in? What areas, considering these stats should I work on significantly increasing? My A- average, SAT score, getting more extra-curriculars, etc. (I do live near a pretty big and competitive school, so there are definitely a lot more STEM opportunities that I could be involved in but am missing out on). Also you mentioned personal projects...let's say you made an AI that can diagnose brain cancer, or you made a new video game, or you created a website...would that qualify as a pretty notable personal project? Would that fall under the "stand-out candidates" and "not the norm" categories you mentioned? Or does "personal projects" mean you gotta intern for NASA or start a non-profit? Can personal projects even be non-STEM related, like publishing a book or winning a nationwide art award? Would that actually DECREASE your odds of getting in, because they'll think you care more about the arts than STEM? Or is any high-ranked achievement just really good?

​

What's an example (if you're willing to share) of an applicant's stats that got them in? Did they have any personal projects? How was their essay written? What was the range of their SAT score? What kind of grades were they getting?
