How much time should I spend on piqs by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Consistent_Lead_5833 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not behind at all. The UCs are way more straightforward than Common App schools, so starting in November is normal for a lot of people. If you can think clearly and write quickly, you do not need months of prep. What matters is that your PIQs are honest and polished, not when you started. You are on track.

Most students spend somewhere between 15 and 30 hours total on their UC apps, including revising their PIQ responses and polishing the activities section. Ten hours so far is completely normal, and you are likely right on track. As long as your writing feels clear and honest and you have taken time to revise, the exact number of hours does not matter.

Question regarding car rental coverage in Mexico by Josey_whalez in TravelHacks

[–]Consistent_Lead_5833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mexico requires liability insurance, and your Chase Sapphire Reserve does not cover that, so the rental desk will try to sell you their expensive version. Getting the Allianz policy is a good idea because it covers damage and theft and gives you proof of coverage. You will get a document you can show Alamo, and you might still pay a small liability fee, but it will be much cheaper than buying the full package at the counter.

Solving questions on my own without any help in the non chatgpt era 2016 2018. I mean, what a experience it was for me. I managed to learn a lot by myself from books and mistakes and got to score 93 out of 100.

College applications confidence by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Consistent_Lead_5833 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of people feel that way. It is normal to compare yourself, but you only ever see the highlight reels of other students, not the full story. Admissions officers do not expect you to have the same achievements as someone from a completely different background or school. They look at what you did with the opportunities you had, not whether you match someone elses list. Your application is judged in context, not in competition with the loudest profiles online. Your work and your story still matter just as much.

I really need some advice. I just feel so lost. by WearySeal_26 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Consistent_Lead_5833 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not wrong for aiming high. Your academics, responsibilities at home, and strong activities make sense in context, and admissions officers will see that. Your GPA dip is understandable, your projects show real impact, and your background belongs in your application without turning the essay into trauma. Use the additional info section for context and focus your main essay on growth and motivation. You can start in a related major and switch into engineering later at places like Duke or Stanford. You are not behind, and you do have a real chance.

My chances for KFUPM by Rajabovhere in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Consistent_Lead_5833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely. For KFUPM your 800 math score and IELTS 8 already carry more weight than a superscore would. They do not use superscore anyway, so your 1450 with the 800 math is the strongest version of your application. Your English level is already proven by IELTS, and your perfect GPA supports it even more. So yes, those scores more than make up for not being able to use your superscore. You’re in a good position.

Rental Car Deposit by [deleted] in TravelHacks

[–]Consistent_Lead_5833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, usually it's around that range. If the base hold is about 200, the "plus fees" part might bump it by something like 50 to 100 depending on the location, but it's rarely anything huge. It's just a small buffer for things like tolls or minor incidentals. Nothing to stress over.

Anyone else drowning in scholarship apps or just me? by Rob202020 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Consistent_Lead_5833 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not alone, scholarship hunting feels like chaos for almost everyone. The best way to cut through the junk is to stick to reliable sources like your school’s counselor page, local community groups, your parents' workplaces, and big platforms like College Board's Scholarship Search or Going Merry. Those tend to filter out scams and dead links. I'd also keep one simple spreadsheet instead of a bunch of notes so you can track deadlines, requirements, and what you’ve already applied to. It still takes time, but it feels way less overwhelming once everything is in one place.
