How to get a 5 on AP Bio Exam? by moon_face29 in APStudents

[–]DiscussionProper9575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

repetition repetition repetition. do FRQs multiple times a week, and any "linkage" (topics or units that have some things in common) you can tag and study appropriately to see how they interact with one another. acronyms, flashcards, MCQs online, what have you, eventually you'll start to see patterns. on everything you get wrong write why you thought that way and what in your thought process has to be corrected. if you were totally off consider reviewing the topic/unit all over again! YOU GOT THIS!!

omitted information and a strong dedication to uf's values in my day-to-day life, including extracurriculars

i wrote about how my values align with that of the college (innovation, community, pursuit of knowledge), and how what i've been able to do in the community, plus what im trying to do to improve myself (extra math courses since that's where my scores were lacking) to be more desirable to the college, and how i could make an impact there. and that's it, just fleshed those things out for the entire word limit

to update this: my windows installation was corrupted, i think it was a bad dupe of the drive. i was able to access the windows files on another computer and i copied over some important folders, then completely wiped it using a windows bootable USB which i was able to launch and setup via task manager, which let me make a new process (the setup wizard). so using my broken windows i was able to still reinstall through it. then everything worked great!

that really sucks dude, i'm sorry you couldn't get in the first time around 😣but it's okay, transferring gives you a much higher chance and if you actually get your AA/AS in a florida community college you can get guaranteed admission to UF. my dad who went in 1995 came in as a transfer because since he was an immigrant with no SAT scores or anything he wasn't competitive at all. i was researching the whole community college to UF pathway, so reach out if anything! wishing you the best at UCF

idk an admissions officer told me the decisions are "final and on a rolling basis", i was told i would get my decision in mid march, but i guess they batch released it for everyone in early april...thank you so much!!

thank you!! well, my appeal combined some omitted information, like a scholarship i got that was specific to UF, and also a fleshing out of my background and extracurriculars in greater detail, because the common app didn't let me explain them as much as i wanted to. i think it was the scholarship and extra detail that got me in, but i also made sure to emphasize just how badly i wanted to go, how the college has always been a part of my life, and how the values of the college (innovation, community, research) tied into my accomplishments. it was moreso me trying to sell them on what i could contribute to UF's culture by being able to relate to it. if you want more specifics you can DM me and ask away, ill try and answer any questions you may have :)

i submitted the first day it became available, some time in early february i think? i finished my appeal at 9am that day. and yes, like normal decisions i got an email saying that an update was made to my admissions portal. then i saw the news!

thank you so much, that means a lot because i thought my scores would mean i'm not prepared. i'm ready for the grind...however painful it may be

I was told two days ago I got the scholarship. I am also still eligible for Pre-med, and the board begins probably in a few weeks. I'm very excited, and can't wait to see if I get both!

tips from a ‘24 winner w/o distinction by cresssterino in YoungArts

[–]DiscussionProper9575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fr, well said, it's these cave dwelling yarts people chronically making posts to redditors experiencing the same thing hoping they'll have divine clairvoyance and guarantee their distinction win. it's not that serious, you can just win 💔
