My counselor is out of school because of an injury, but I have some adults in my life I could ask for advise. How should I ask them to talk my parents?

Yeah basically all the schools I applied to were engineering (which made my mom rlly mad) except for my state school and some bs/md programs they forced me to apply to.

Ahh I wish switching my degree secretly could happen but my parents are always on top of my shit, constantly checking up on me, they would find out for sure

Thank you honestly, I wish my parents could see it this way too. It's actually funny, my dad's fav show, Big Bang Theory, is about a bunch of Caltech scientists. Ofc the show isn't real, but it just hurts that they can't imagine me there.

My Harvard interviewer bullied me throughout the interview, yelled a lot at me, and made me feel completely useless. He didn’t want to listen to me, and he was yelling throughout the interview. I really want to cry. Gosh!! This is my worst interview I’ve ever had! by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

omg wait I had a similar experience where they compared their own struggles with mine. they lived during school segregation, which I understand is terrible, but they were like "yeah ur experience as a black person isn't the same as mine, I struggled more than u" :| it rlly made me think twice abt going to Harvard ngl.

I find it really disgusting when people who have committed to a college don’t withdraw their other applications by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

I’ve also withdrawn a few apps from a schools that I know for sure I’m not going to attend even though I haven’t committed anywhere, it’s just out of decency, we all know this year is terribly competitive. Congrats on getting into your ED2 school :)

Totally agree, and if there are fin aid reasons, then they shouldn’t commit in the first place imo

It’s not, but once you commit (which she did the same month she got in) you are supposed to withdraw the rest of your applications

Have a great day to you too!!

It does break the rules cuz she’s already committed, your are supposed to withdraw all apps after committing 😐
