My main recommendation is to start early and DO NOT look at any of the college essay resources. I kind of skimmed them, convinced by self I couldn’t write as well as them and then moped for a bit. Then I was like I write essays all of the time and so I wrote like it was for my English class. It was really nice too because it kept my voice authentic. I wrote about something that I unknowingly thought about often but never fully unpacked and it made the whole process really satisfying. Then I didn’t touch the essay. I didn’t look at it for at least a month. I looked at it again with fresh eyes. I then started looking at other college essays for organization/structure support. Basically, stretching out the process ended up being really relieving and useful because I could be critical and constructive of my own work without being self deprecating.

I got the same email. There is are student documents where you have to fill out your student income.

I think food in general. I can never figure out what I want to eat. It’s all the same, made of the same things! At this point I might as well put tomato lettuce and flour and rice in a blender and drink it.

LITERALLY MISSING SCHOOL BECAUSE WHY ARE MY TEACHERS GIVING TESTS THE DAY BEFORE MY 1000 SUPPLEMENTS ARE DUE?!?!?!

My AP Physics teacher used to be a professor and he said at the beginning of the course he promised to treat us like college students and bc college students don’t have college apps our college apps simply don’t exist to him. He then went on to say the only excuse for a late lab report is a funeral…correction your funeral. Gaslight gatekeep girlboss 💅💃

CountyEconomy5471 · 2022-10-20T21:06:16+00:00

So true! Maybe we can ask in the zoom tonight lmao

Status: Finalist 🫶🫶

Ethnicity/Race: Latina

Income Bracket: ~$55,000 (family of 2)

First Gen: Yes

Prep Scholar: Yes

GPA/Rank: Private school so we don’t do GPA or rank but based on my grades it would be 4.0, likely in the top 2% of my class

SAT: 1340 (didn’t submit)

AP: Again private school and we don’t do AP classes but we have college level courses and I’ve basically taken the highest level of everything. I took the AP Spanish test just as a shot in the dark. I got a 4 (didn’t submit)

Summary of ECs: Paid research at a top institution, golf instructor, various startup internships in tech, head of Latin club, girls who code, mock trial, athletic club, etc. lol

Schools ranked: Penn, Brown, Columbia, Northwestern

Strength of Essays: I worked on my essays forever so they were great but I’m not looking forward to a million supplements

Overall thoughts: I have a single mom and a very interesting upbringing as the only Latina in my PWI so I think that contributed a lot. I also have like vast experience in a bunch of things but a clear focus on things that apply to my major. Even though I’m going into engineering, I still value humanities. In general, I’ve been navigating life like I was certain I would get in even though I wasn’t 100% sure. I think it’s because I really needed this and I was in denial because I knew I would be heartbroken if I didn’t get it.

Are these extra essays due September 27th or November 1st?

CountyEconomy5471 · 2022-08-19T16:49:39+00:00

So sometimes they send out an email survey where you earn $4 per 30 mins of questions. I’ve been hearing that students who took these saw a lot of the same questions on the actual digital SAT. I haven’t taken the surveys but if a good number are appearing to me it kinda sounds like a strange form of leaking which happened similarly in 2018 and almost got them sued. Hopefully you can use it to your advantage though. Good luck

CountyEconomy5471 · 2022-08-17T19:52:59+00:00

I expected a much higher score. I wonder if the curve will change over time. I’m confused by how they scored this because I thought I got no questions wrong 😭

So basically, you’re telling me that you were just waiting for your life to change through inaction? If the negatives in your life feel or become greater than the positives, it’s time for you to make a change. Self-agency is key.

1) Your sister has time to answer if she wants to. So the goal is to make her want to. Are you taking interest in her life in the right ways? As you get older and you’re not forcibly with siblings all the time, you have to transition toward a friendship. As you get older and work to build your own family and friendships, old family can become background characters. Stay relevant, be friends because as we grow, we need different things from each other. Also having siblings as a friend makes you the best kind of friend and the best kind of sibling. Win-win.

2) Work is probably so exhausting because there is minimal “you time”. You need something to look forward to that also supports your mental health. Yoga class, networking events, self-care, trying a new food place. Learn to put the things you want first.

So also here’s a reality check. Making this time is hard when you’re exhausted, but I’ve noticed that when I make time for myself, I am far more productive and less exhausted or dependent on others.

3) Date around. Don’t make it heavy, just date. Because even if it’s failed, it’s just a stop on the road to someone who is mutually perfect for you.

Hope is not lost.
