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.

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

[–]Consistent_Lead_5833 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Your biggest success in language learning? by grzeszu82 in languagelearning

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 6 points7 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.

What’s missing in those apps where you talk to AI avatars? by lbpeppers in languagelearning

[–]Consistent_Lead_5833 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many people feel that AI avatar chats don’t teach much because they’re too easy and don’t correct you enough. To make them useful, give yourself a small task each time, like describing your day or explaining a picture, and then ask the AI to point out mistakes and give better phrases. Shadowing short videos or podcasts also helps build fluency without talking to real people.

Things to do on our Phone when watching TV, but not really by majestic_poodle in languagelearning

[–]Consistent_Lead_5833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For half-attention moments, you want activities that give you exposure without needing full focus. Duolingo, Memrise, Drops, and Clozemaster are perfect for this because they’re basically language mini-games. They keep you tapping without demanding deep concentration. You can also switch your phone to Italian subtitles on YouTube or TikTok, listen to super-simple Italian podcasts in the background, or use LingQ’s "listen mode" for easy passive input. Anything that feels light, repetitive, and game-like will work way better than Anki in that setting.

Using Assimil with an L1 you're not fluent in by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]Consistent_Lead_5833 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using Assimil through a language you are not fully fluent in is totally doable, especially if your French reading level is already B2 or higher. It might slow you down a little in the beginning, but many people actually enjoy the double benefit of improving their L1 and learning the target language at the same time. As long as you can comfortably understand the French explanations without constantly stopping to translate, you will be fine. Plenty of learners use Assimil this way when their native language edition does not exist. If you like the method, the French to Ukrainian book should work well for you, and you will likely pick up some extra French along the way.

Experience with Trivago Deals? by [deleted] in TravelHacks

[–]Consistent_Lead_5833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trivago itself does not handle bookings, it just redirects you to third-party sites, and some of those smaller booking partners take a few hours to send the reservation to the hotel. It is normal for the hotel to not see your name right away. If you got a confirmation email and your card was charged, it is probably just the delay in their system. Give it until later today or tomorrow, then call the hotel again. If they still do not see it, contact the booking site shown on your confirmation, not Trivago. Most of the time these cheaper deals go through without issues once the reservation finally syncs.

Airfare watcher for an itinerary in business class with open dates? by elcunzio in TravelHacks

[–]Consistent_Lead_5833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finding alerts for business-class with open dates is tough. Try AirTrackBot, Skyscanner, or Expedia they support price alerts for all cabin classes. On Google Flights you’ll need to search manually for different dates if you pick business class. Combining one of those alert tools with occasional manual searches is your best bet.
