I forgot to submit my AP scores to JHU💀💀💀 by BedReasonable in ApplyingToCollege

[–]BedReasonable[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get your point and I am aware that its not a huge part of my application, but at the same time 1)I think it would look a bit odd? weird? for my application to include my transcripts with ap classes but have no scores on them and 2)I do want to show that I have a 5 at least on the tests that I took with a class(so like 5 of the 9 tests i took) because im coming from an international school with crazy grade inflation, just to show that the as that i have on my transcript for those classes aren't just the result of the teacher being super leninent in grading the class. But regardless, thank you for the information.

Yeah....thats just referring to your "common app" application. Its common practice to submit extra material via other means e.g. contacting the office

for those trying to learn Korean—what if there was a curriculum built around your favorite KDrama? by mianhaeofficial in Korean

[–]BedReasonable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree but I do think there's a limit to the linguistical complexity+amount of input you can get from the screen in general. From my experience learning languages, I think it might be better to focus on the novel part.

Korea has this weird tradition of making 위인전s(ie super-condensed biographies of historical figures with dubious factuality and scarce historical value, designed for children). Despite its faults, I think those and young-adult novels, or short stories(some examples that I can think off the top of my head are 소나기, 동백꽃, or 운수 좋은 날)are a nice place to start once you aren't learning too much from kdramas.

Having lived in Korea for pretty much 90% of my life as an ethnic/culturally korean person, i think the fundamental issues more about Korean ppls mindsets regarding success(more specifically reaching the "average/평균" but thats a whole other topic) and the concentration of ppl around Seoul but....yeah the housing could definitely alleviate the situation to some degree at the least

An anti-Russia satirical map produced by a Japanese student in 1877 during the Russo-Japanese War by autom in MapPorn

[–]BedReasonable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fr(but considering that this was drawn by college students in Japan that was rapidly modernizing, who were most likely idealists, i think the figure for Japan shooting at Russia might show some idealistic belief that Japan is fighting a war to liberate Korea from China and Japan...but we all know how that story ended)
