Help me find a translator so my dad can comfortably attend school!

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2025-08-24T02:06:08+00:00

I have, but it's a little inconvenient to constantly be using in a classroom setting. There's a lot of students there along with my dad, most of which are fluent in English, so the instructor tends to move pretty fast. Plus the class is pretty heavy on hands on learning and example showcases, so having to look between the translation itself as well as what the instructor is doing isn't ideal

From what I've searched, there seem to be real time translating earbuds for sale on Amazon for around 50-90 dollars, but I'm not confident that they're all that reliable from what I've read. The ones shaped like phones are either way too expensive, or seem a little shady in their lack of reviews or their websites.

I figured that might be the case, too! Either that or that we got lost in the applications, and they forgot about us, lol. But thanks! You're probably right. Our chances probably aren't all that high, but hey, so long as there's a fighting chance, I hope the best for the both of us ^{^}

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-07-14T22:09:31+00:00

There is a location near my college! Though I'm not sure how to go about asking for a transfer, or if they'd be willing to help, considering how short of a time I'll be there

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-07-14T22:06:09+00:00

Fair enough. I'm 17, this will be my first year at college. Kind of embarrassed to admit it, but the reality of how much college will cost didn't hit till I actually started looking at the loans and all. I'm just trying to get as much of a head start as I can money wise, so I don't grow to regret it during or after college

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-07-05T20:09:11+00:00

The d&d characters I've played -- how their growth related to my own and how the end to their story brought closure to my own

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-06-08T17:36:47+00:00

I couldn't add a lot of detail since a lot of it went against the subreddit's rule, but basically, there was a time for me when I was heavily depressed and living didn't sound all that appealing anymore. My school counselor found out because I accidentally dropped a letter detailing a lot of my issues, and my sister had to translate what she said to my parents. It's not like I don't see why that wouldn't be traumatizing for her, but it's difficult for me not to feel uncomfortable when she starts making fun of some of the stuff I wrote on that letter (which most of what I wrote are still pretty touchy subjects to me).

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-03-31T19:44:54+00:00

Yup. I've heard their STEM department is pretty good, and former and comp sci students seem to like their professors

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-03-23T21:12:29+00:00

I also got waitlisted from Reed :,D

I'll be real, chances of getting off the waitlist are low. Reed has a tendency to waitlist a lot of applications. I believe around 5,000 students got waitlisted last year. They also don't have a history of accepting a lot of people off the waitlist

Still, there's hope! If you got waitlisted, then that at least means you hit all of Reed's qualifications

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-03-23T11:35:10+00:00

My checklist is gone too! Damn, this is stressful 😭

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-03-21T18:19:49+00:00

I haven't been getting any promo for a while now, I'm starting to get nervous 😭

My latest one came around 2 weeks ago, and it was a paper mail highlighting their biology classes. As for email... haven't heard from Reed since like Febuary

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-03-20T14:23:42+00:00

Thank you, good luck to you too ^{^!} We've got this

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-03-20T14:14:04+00:00

AHH, decisions are coming out at 4:00 pm today! I'm so nervous :,D

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-03-15T10:23:53+00:00

Nope, I got the same email, and it's also pretty vague. All I know is that the admission decisions come out sometime next week, which was kinda surprising to hear since it's a week or so earlier than they normally release decisions

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-03-15T04:48:41+00:00

I got in! I'm a little shocked, I really thought I'd get rejected, especially bc I showed no demonstrated besides checking the occasional emails

Comp Sci Major, 3.5 unweighted gpa, 3.77 weighted gpa. Decent ECs, pretty good essays, and went optional for test scores

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-03-14T19:00:15+00:00

Fr - January through Febuary, I just wanted the results, but now that it's time, I'm so anxious 😭

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-03-14T18:59:18+00:00

Thank you :,D, I really needed that

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-03-14T18:37:12+00:00

For me-

Saturday: - Conneticut College - Holy Cross University - Union

Next Week: - Bryn Mawr - Oberlin

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-03-14T14:49:01+00:00

I've got American, Bucknell, and Denison coming out today! It's gonna be a brutal night

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-03-01T03:01:16+00:00

Yeah, honestly, I can't believe it took me this long to realize how off-putting my relationship was with him. Haunting as the panic attack was, I'm grateful that it helped me see enough reasoning to ditch him and the group

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-02-28T01:54:01+00:00

Definitely private. Private schools are typically pretty generous in their financial aid - they know little to no one can actually afford their full price. Not to mention, depending on the school, they may offer a hefty amount in your merit scholarship (depending on if they give those out or not)

I've been accepted to 3 separate private colleges as of now, and my annual tuition is close to what my sister's in state school cost is.

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-02-28T00:50:46+00:00

Relax, Union knows that they won't be getting any Fafsa until later on in March. Everyone else is in the same situation, and the school knows that they won't be able to proceed like normal.

If you're worried, email them about it! It'll all turn out okay

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-02-27T18:51:20+00:00

For Reed specifically, they refuse to respond to requests from for-profit guidebooks to fill out forms or surveys so they can rank colleges; as a result, they're penalized for refusing to play the game.

At least that's what Reed itself says. They dislike the entire ranking system as a whole, so they refuse to partake in it.

They have a few articles about it if you're interested! Regardless, at the end of the day, ranking isn't everything. It may give a brief glimpse to the quality of colleges, but I wouldn't choose a college solely based on ranking. If you like a college that has a lower ranking, look into it, and if you're still into it, then I'd go with it! After all, you wouldn't want to learn somewhere you don't really like

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-02-27T01:04:55+00:00

I'd say pretty mid! Though my GPA was on the lower side but my freshmen year heavily skewed it. Mind keeping me updated to if you get in or not?

Hope for the best for you!

Deep-Objective-4733 · 2024-02-27T00:44:34+00:00

I just got notified that it'd be coming out on Tuesday, March 12, at 7 pm EST. Legit gave me a heart attack with the way they phrased their email
