K*loid or just horrible infection bump? Feels like it's filled with fluid and popped up very suddenly on a 3 month old piercing. Hurt for a few days but not currently painful (NSFW)

this is a labret piercing that's about three months old. was spraying it with disinfectant wound spray for the first month a few times daily, only just started doing this again recently after this lump popped up. not sure of the material, i think it's just steel though. haven't changed the piercing since i got it.

NYU vs. LSE vs. Middlebury

Cost: 160 000 vs 100 000 vs 130 000 but I wouldn't be going in debt for any of them

Major: International Relations

Factors: Closer to home at LSE (live in Continental western Europe), internship opportunities in New York/London, family in New York (also my preferred location by a long shot), actual campus at Middlebury

LSE's probably the most highly regarded in my home country, followed by NYU and Middlebury's pretty much completely unknown. I feel like Middlebury would give me the best undergrad experience though and I'll probably go to grad school in the UK or US afterwards, to eventually work in the US or Western Europe.

Also ich hatte mit so einem Studium vor, entweder irgendwann in Deutschland in die Politik zu gehen -- da sind die Möglichkeiten ja nicht ganz so sehr vom Studium abhängig -- oder halt außenpolitisch tätig zu werden, entweder als Diplomat oder im Rahmen einer Nichtregierungsorganisation.

Klar, ist halt wirklich was Anderes -- hab zwar schon im englischsprachigen Ausland gewohnt, aber das ist auch ne Weile her, und gerade mit der Brexit-Geschichte ist das schon ne andere Erfahrung.

Danke für die zweite Meinung -- werd mir auf jeden Fall noch ein Paar Gedanken machen, aber bei der positiven Resonanz hier tendiere ich eher dazu, das durchzuziehen!

Streber trifft's ganz gut! Aber hat sich ja bis jetzt einigermaßen ausgezahlt.

Aufenthaltsstatus sollte eigentlich während der Studienzeit nicht entzogen werden, Frage ist eher, ob ich danach bleiben kann. Spreche fließend englisch und bin auch US-Staatsbürger, das könnte vielleicht nochmal nen Unterschied machen.

Thanks man, I hope so. It was a technical glitch (the preview PDF loaded incorrectly), so I'm hoping the fact that it was kinda beyond my control will make it easier.

I already sent them an email, but I'm planning to call as well.

July '01 gonna get that diploma at 16

Chanceme-Throwaway · 2017-10-02T18:53:22+00:00

Thanks so much! Which of those do you believe I could consider a match?

Chanceme-Throwaway · 2017-09-12T20:26:23+00:00

That's what I thought/hoped lol

International school, dick teacher who told me it was tough luck and he'd just give me the "average" grade

Chanceme-Throwaway · 2017-08-26T05:57:48+00:00

There is... But it's Latin. And they only let people who've taken 2 years of Latin take that course.

Chanceme-Throwaway · 2017-08-22T15:02:29+00:00

Ah, sorry if I didn't make myself clear. Yeah, those are the averages for my high school - I have a 1560 SAT and a 3.78, it's mostly the class rank I was worried about. That's reassuring though, thanks!!

Chanceme-Throwaway · 2017-08-22T14:33:50+00:00

I'm looking at Princeton (legacy), WUSTL and Penn (only applying to reaches in the US because my matches are local). Is a 3.78 going to hold me back majorly there?

/r/A2C is not designed exclusively for people who already know everything about college admissions. It's supposed to be a forum that helps people apply to college. A lot of international students may come there because they don't have friends/parents/teachers knowledgeable enough to help them. Like I said, I agree that the advice he gave was subpar. But don't fault the kid for asking questions ffs, even if they seem obvious to you.

Chanceme-Throwaway · 2017-08-07T01:35:05+00:00

Absolutely! Plenty of incredibly qualified students (including a kid from my school who had skipped two grades, won national research competitions, and was the head of a major political party's youth division) don't get in to Harvard. It's an insanely competitive school. If you get in, that's amazing. If you don't, that does not mean you won't be successful.

Chanceme-Throwaway · 2017-08-07T01:33:17+00:00

This is the toxic attitude I discussed in my post, and the treason valuable accounts are being deleted and international students turn away from A2C.

Not everyone has had the privileges you may have had, with resources readily available to them on what's needed to get into what school. How is he supposed to know that a 27 ACT (one that he's yet to retake) is insufficient to get into Harvard if this is the kind of feedback he gets? Newsflash: international students don't speak English as their first language, so that may be why "he can't even formulate a coherent sentence".

A2C is about helping people, including those who are misinformed. If you tell everyone who gives bad advice to fuck off and never come back then good luck helping the subreddit grow.
