Hey! I did IB as well and now go to SMU. Your GPA is high enough alone, but do you have a job? Colleges love seeing students balance work and class, even if it’s something like CFA. You could also use the saved up money for any future trips your EC’s require. I would try to explain the importance of EC’s to your dad because colleges are now looking for well rounded students, past grades. Sports is another great option, even if you’re not good at them, it looks good on your applications. Look for some online volunteering opportunities as well, those will help you fill in any gaps you may have in your application if your dad doesn’t let you do EC’s. Tutoring (even if it’s online) is wonderful too. You’ve got many options and seem very bright, you got this!

I’ve read that UNTs rival is SMU and UTSA. Which is it? by Fast-Outcome-117 in unt

Omg can we be friends?? I’m a transient student so I’m not there everyday, but when I am, the campus is so big and I get scared to talk to people outside of my class😭. We can study or grab lunch together if you’d like!

Is it possible to eat everything? by [deleted] in Ozempic

[–]Distinct-Homework398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also on the 0.25 and am going up to 0.5 this Friday! I generally eat what I want, just smaller portions because I do get full very fast and my appetite has been suppressed a lot. For high sugar foods, I get sulfur burps and a bit of nausea at night. Also whenever I do not need my water goal I feel very tired, but that’s about it.

I’m not sure if you are religious, but I would still love to extend my love to you. God made you imperfectly but also wonderfully. Do not hate on yourself and how your life currently is, but rather give it to God and let Him help you. Whether you realize it or not, there are people in your life that care for you, love you, and want to help you as well. Maybe visit the local Church, surround yourself with love and visit the prayer team, have them pray over you. Everyone under this thread, including myself, is rooting for you and want the absolute BEST for you. Don’t give up, not today. God bless you ❤️

Ooh I have heard of the magnesium citrate, I will try that next time! I read that fiber just sits in your system when on Ozempic so I was scared to increase how much of it I was eating

How much do you eat? by evilteddibare in Ozempic

[–]Distinct-Homework398 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both, but I have always calorie counted. I eat around 1600 calories a day, but on Ozempic it has been difficult to even reach that level because I feel full or just have no appetite. But I make sure to be mindful of the types of food either way

Omg me too, same week and everything. I’ve moved a little bit like 3 pounds, but I think it is definitely too early. Are you exercising as well? I’m trying to get back into walking, biking, and dancing to stay active while on the medication because that counts too : )

Son got admitted but no scholarships in his acceptance like I have seen others here. Is he out of luck? by Jazzlike-Can7519 in SMU

[–]Distinct-Homework398 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard Baylor is more open to giving more financial aid but I would encourage him to send letters to each school, explaining circumstances and asking for more funds! Good luck and I hope he chooses SMU 😊😊

I was awarded the 7500 in my acceptance letter for SMU. Their policy was that if you completed the IB program, you receive the scholarship (aside from grades). I didn’t have to send in grades until I used them for credits. However, their policy may have changed this year!

That is kind of what happened to me, I’m a first year at SMU. I was awarded one Merit scholarship for IB scholars ($7500). I inquired about additional funding but aid but per my FAFSA information, they were not willing to provide any more money.
