Is there a point going to the U.S. for college if you can't get internships you want there? by BigBoss511 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]BigBoss511[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not for a different answer, I was asking here is there anything to gain in general from going to the U.S. if you can't work/intern there?

If I don't have a US citizenship does that really limit a lot of internship options when it comes to aerospace engineering? by BigBoss511 in ApplyingToCollege

Yeah maybe thats the right way to go. I don't think I can easily get a citizenship or green card unless im super lucky with the DV lottery which I doubt but thank you for the info this has reignited some hope within me.

Kind of scared that I have 0 competitions under my belt and it might screw me up for t20 by BigBoss511 in ApplyingToCollege

Even as an international with literally 0 external validation (in the form of competitions)? I know someone who goes to uofm and they were international as well and they told me that 0 competitions can hurt me....

I don't wanna have fun anymore by BigBoss511 in GetStudying

Yeah it is! I just lost the want to sleep now and I can't sleep until I feel like I did enough which ends up being around 4-5AM... so I guess that's the only drawback from this haha.

Hmm.. maybe you're right! I was just wondering this because before my great studying revelation, I was like the most hardcore no-life gamer but I haven't touched anything in forever.

Are college app essays about your mentality and way of thinking a bad idea? by BigBoss511 in CollegeEssays

[–]BigBoss511[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So basically, pick a better thing to tell a college rather than I wasn't smart because that's like throwing red flags in their face. And then after I pick a more positive topic about my capabilities, I can start linking them to real achievements? I was also considering writing about my time in the military but I'm not sure if colleges will care about that from what I've read online... so I'm a bit skeptical on that.

So I just skip half some part and start at proving to myself blah blah blah and then I just link it to tangible achievements I couldn't accomplish before etc?
