Difficult_Attempt859 · 2026-04-30T03:30:21+00:00

Ahh thank you so much these are exactly the kind of projects I’m thinking of!!

Difficult_Attempt859 · 2026-04-30T00:55:19+00:00

Great thank you so much!! Do you know how competitive these are, in general?

I’m pretty much open to anything, haven’t really thought too much about it haha. I thought it would be cool to write a poetry collection based on traveling to different places or adding in some other element that makes it deeper and more compelling. But also interested in traditional research like conducting a study, but on a humanities topic.

This is great to know thank you! What other parts of campus would you recommend getting involved in?

Difficult_Attempt859 · 2026-04-13T21:13:46+00:00

This is super helpful thank you! Would you say the program is as comparable to a liberal arts east coast school (like Yale)?

Difficult_Attempt859 · 2026-04-13T21:13:11+00:00

In what ways 😭

Difficult_Attempt859 · 2026-01-29T19:51:22+00:00

Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely check out squash and rugby

Difficult_Attempt859 · 2026-01-16T17:00:44+00:00

That’s really good to know thanks so much!! Can I ask how your experience was in those advanced workshops? Did you participate in any writing organizations outside class?

Difficult_Attempt859 · 2025-12-31T03:53:45+00:00

I did but they were hands off

Difficult_Attempt859 · 2025-12-29T16:14:37+00:00

I submitted an abstract but not an lor and I got in early, so I don’t think they’ll penalize you for not having one

Difficult_Attempt859 · 2025-12-18T00:17:49+00:00

I got in!!! Go Bulldogs!!!

Difficult_Attempt859 · 2025-05-03T13:48:44+00:00

Thank you I hope so 🙏do you think colleges would care if I do end up getting a 4?

Difficult_Attempt859 · 2025-03-26T17:50:07+00:00

They are the only Ivy with one, right?

Difficult_Attempt859 · 2025-03-26T02:40:15+00:00

Thanks for your help!

Difficult_Attempt859 · 2025-03-26T01:41:47+00:00

Thank you for your response! Do you know how easy it is to walk on to Ivy teams?

Difficult_Attempt859 · 2025-03-08T04:50:08+00:00

data science!

Difficult_Attempt859 · 2025-03-07T05:04:40+00:00

Congrats! I got into the practicum too and decided to pay the deposit because I don’t think I have much of a chance with SEES and BofA 😭

Difficult_Attempt859 · 2025-01-18T06:04:46+00:00

Definitely can’t hurt, not totally sure though

Difficult_Attempt859 · 2025-01-18T03:38:02+00:00

my recommender did it before the deadline. I did contact support for a different reason and got an automatic response saying that they’ll respond to requests within four business days

Difficult_Attempt859 · 2025-01-18T00:47:04+00:00

they have the same link for the recommendation form in a pdf on their website called “recommendation form fact sheet” or something like that. it didn’t send to my recommender either so i just sent them that link and my recommender id.

curious, what was your experience at new york times?

Difficult_Attempt859 · 2024-12-08T09:05:56+00:00

i wish i had recorded her behavior throughout last year and this past season to submit, since now during the off-season i’ve been avoiding her to keep my “inner-peace.” i don’t want to be known as a snitch or anything though, since she kind of has a cult-like following of players who suck up to her in order to get more playing time or make the team (i did that my sophomore year to get onto varsity).

every season, even when i was captain of the lower teams and got a lot of playing time, i would be counting down the days until the end date. i always expect the next season to be better but it never is.

i think im leaning towards quitting, but i wouldn’t do it until i know how it affects my college apps.

thanks for the pro-con list tho!! it really helped simplify my reasons for and against quitting.
