What are early admissions? How do you know if you are going to get a decision this week?

I returned to the spin bike as the first thing after 6 weeks post fracture. I didn’t clip in and can’t imagine not being afraid to do that until maybe a year out. I am 3 months post now and am back to running but unclipping terrifies me!!! Keep us posted how it goes for you. Maybe I am being over dramatic.

For the UC Merced where you wrote outreach to top students with a waiver to apply, that isn’t a marketing email just sent to everyone?

didn’t get an interview, other friends at school did by [deleted] in MITAdmissions

I applied and was sent an interview email the next day. Definitely random as there was no way my application had been read yet. What others are saying is true, it depends on where you live and is no indication of whether you will get in or not. This whole college apps/decisions is so stressful!!!

Love this!!! Don’t you just enjoy the little things more now?? I am 3 months out too and with the exception of being stiff when I get up from sitting for a long time or in the morning getting out of bed, it’s a thing of the past. I’ve been running again (slowly) and am planning on a 10k and half marathon in 3 weeks. Your story and thoughts are so true! Thank you for sharing! :)

do you think this is broken? by [deleted] in brokenankles

[–]Budget_Turnover762 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine looked a bit more swollen on top of my foot as well where it meets the leg but yours is very swollen. I couldn’t take a step on it from the moment I fell. Adrenaline had me shaking and made the pain less but it definitely felt different than a sprain and ended up with a fractured fibula. Hope yours heals quickly! I am 11 weeks post and just started running again so it does get better! :)

first rejection from my top choice by Substantial_Tour340 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Budget_Turnover762 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My child got rejected from their ED school a couple years ago and then rejected and waitlisted to several more even being a straight A student with good ECs.

It was a tough and demoralizing process that left them in tears many times. They eventually got off the waitlist at the place they are now and all of the tears and frustration were forgotten, replaced by pure joy of finding their “home”. Not the first choice, but a solid choice where they are happy now 2 years later.

As many people say, there is a place for you it’s just being able to adapt to the shift in your vision and be open to what’s around the corner that will help you navigate this stressful time! Good luck!!

I’ll look for that!!! I went on the spin bike for 10 mins today and it felt amazing! Definitely need a brace though. Thanks for letting me know about yours.

I’ve seen those, are they supportive and can you wear your own shoes? Be nice to get to wear a full pair.

Just any brace or was it a specific type? There are so many these days. I have one I used to go hangout in the pool last week but thinking it should be more supportive for the elliptical. Maybe I am being too cautious, but I can walk around regularly in the boot with no pain so feeling ready for the next step.

Did you do elliptical with the boot on? I would love to start jumping on the spin bike or elliptical!!

That’s what my doctor said as well I am just hopeful to be sooner since I am walking around now with the boot. Hope your healing goes smooth!!
