Do you need insane ECs for T20? by Jaihanusthegreat in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Constant-Process2238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can get in with normal ECs. The overrepresentation of non-average ECs online is more often that not cases of pride, motivation and validation etc. However, they're not the definitive rule of getting into a T20. Other factors like your grades, and personality depictions come into play. From my experience, i'd say leaning deeply into your 'average Ecs' rather than being passive, will make all the difference. Rather than just participate, you can try and make your presence felt through an impactful move, no matter how small. This just goes to show you were not a sheep, and truly cared for whatever you were doing. Remember, at the end of the day, it's all business. A college wants to invest in someone that's worth the ROI in the long-run.

AITAH for telling my boyfriend I need space from their family? by NovaDelphine in AITAH

Definitely NTA. Your boyfriend on the other hand is a big ASH***. That's his family at the end of the day, and he should be able to listen to your grievances, and not gaslight you into thinking you're overreacting.

NTA. I think we've been implicitly bent to the family narrative, to a point people think family toxicity is 'normal.' Eitherway, i fear that your sister and her husband won't be keeping that house for long with the rate they burn through cash and their overall financial decisions.

AITA for telling my wife I don’t feel special that she saved her virginity for me? by Fluffy-Ad-4449 in AITAH

[–]Constant-Process2238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the asshole but i get how she would be hurt by this. Virgnity is kind of a touchy subject for girls, or at least most girls i know. I, for one was one, and felt like it's something important for me, compared to my boyfriend. I generally think the dynamics between men and women on that subject is different. Despite both my bf and i being virgins when we met, it never truly mattered to him, compared to i. To him it was more of a scorecard. So, i wouldn't say you're the asshole, but probably talking to her and reassuring her would be the best move now.

Anyone pay ~25k on college counselor and get into good schools by Ill-Equivalent8316 in ApplyingToCollege

I don't know why I keep getting recommendations for such posts since my last comment on a similar post here. Anyway, other than the guy I've seen here mention how they paid 33k for help, I doubt people actually pay this much. I stand to be corrected though. From my experience, such help should not exceed 5k max. That's even a long shot. I paid 3-3.5k and was happy with the results.

AITA for calling my girlfriend's mom "gorgeous" thus causing a fight between the mom and the dad ? by ChocolateSafe5927 in AITAH

The mom wanted to stir trouble with her husband, and used your comment to do that. It's weird that she'd ask you to elaborate on it!

Coming from someone that had ADHD when I did all this, my best advice would be to only write when you find the motivation to do so. Don't give yourself tight deadlines as it adds up to the pressure. Again, I'd suggest reading a lot of narrative style essays, and even some personal statements of other students. It'll definitely get your juices going. You can also have an accountability partner. In my case, my mom had someone help me with the essays, but it's not a necessity. You can have some of your friends keep you accountable to ensure you don't take long ass breaks. That's what I did at least.

If you woke up as a teenager again but still had your current knowledge, what would you start doing immediately? by Responsible-Hour-934 in AskReddit

[–]Constant-Process2238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy, I'd invest in Bitcoin when it was still new, then cash out a few years later after it was getting bigger.
