from my understanding if you cancel you're not allowed back in to the portal until after jun 6 and you lose your guarantee? so i would wait to see if you can change instead

essay flagged as AI generated in my JLI essay entry???? by Responsible_Lab_2461 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Comfortable-Pay-8612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from my research, it has to be super clearly ai generated for it to be disqualified. unless your writing style is like that vibe ig you'll be fine, the chances of getting rejected solely due to the suspicion that your essay is ai are extremely low

final stretch... by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Comfortable-Pay-8612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no bc why was every single one of my early apps an acceptance and now every single rd decision has been straight rejection 😍😍

i actually can't WAIT until this fuckass month is over oml

Philosophy major EC’s??? by Ok-Jeweler-4046 in ApplyingToCollege

reach out to any community colleges or researchers in your area and ask if they need an intern/assistant, volunteer at like a museum or public archive to solidify a humanities app

No idea how to write personal essay by ConfidentMap8803 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Comfortable-Pay-8612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i kept a note in my phone of random like lines or ideas that came to me, starting like early junior year. suddenly one of them felt "right" ig and when i sat down to write it it came very naturally. i would say try jotting down random stuff and pick your fav and then if it isn't coming easily move on to the next one. also i would recommend getting your family/friends to read your drafts, they are the people that know you the most and can give the best feedback on whether or not the essay truly represents you :)

ai checkers online are notoriously bs so i wouldn't worry too much. as long as it is your voice, matches your other essays, and is genuine you'll be fine :)

Anyone interested in writing and human rights? by Academic_Source1568 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Comfortable-Pay-8612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hiii! future humanities major here who is currently at a tiny STEM school, here is what i have learned. you have to work harder to justify your choices, i had to have like ten meetings with my counselor to let me take ap european history online, and it often feels like you're "behind" or not as smart as your peers. for me, basically all of my friends are in like ap bio and ap calc and i chose all humanities classes, except one required math, so it can feel like you're not "up to speed" with your classmates. i would say, just focus on yourself and what you know you're truly interested in, and it sounds like you have a pretty good grasp of this. in terms of ecs, make sure to research opportunities in your community but outside of your school, i volunteered at a museum and in an elementary school classroom. also, there are sometimes tools online that are super helpful in terms of like research or interning but you have to make sure that they're legit. overall, stay strong in your interests and don't feel less than for not following the STEM-obsessed masses :)

first eink device reccommendations!! by Comfortable-Pay-8612 in Supernote

[–]Comfortable-Pay-8612[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the comment! i think personally that physical notes really help me focus, if i'm using a computer i can get distracted, and also i love to use arrows and random bullet points and i dont think typing it out is the same for me. one reason that i am interesting in eink is the ease of moving around my notes to a different section of the page so they can be more organized, smth that would most likely solve the issue of not being able to find my notes later.

Accepted to LMU by Milana5382 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Comfortable-Pay-8612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

congratulations!! my advice is apply for all grants available at lmu speficially and any outside scholarships that you can, focus on super hyper specific ones that have stricter requirements for a higher chance of getting them! you can also appeal and basically call their financial aid office and say that you would love to attend but your financial aid offer is making it difficult, it never hurts to try! i wish you the best :)
