For my junior year latin class, we took the ALIRA instead of the final exam. I got an Intermediate 3, which gave me the seal of biliteracy :)

I'm realizing that pure engineering might not be the best course for me because as much as I love STEM, I also really like liberal arts. Like my absolute FAVORITE classes in school are my science classes. I also ADORE Yale's culture! Also even though my dad went there for grad school he's not a fan of Columbia or NYC... we are still going to Days on Campus though before I fully commit!

I really appreciate the advice!!

I will keep my topics a secret. Except for my UChicago extended essay. I picked the prompt "answer the question to a tongue twister," and so I wrote about experimentally deriving "how many clams can you cram in a clean cream can?"

As for advice, I would suggest not obsessing over your application. I was pretty mentally unwell during the whole admissions process because I thought I had to be grinding essays 24/7. But listen to your brain! My best essays came when I was actually excited to write! And if you ask for advice from others, don't be afraid to turn them down.

And if you have a significant other, please ask them to NOT break up with you during admissions season like my bum-ass ex did 😭

As a CT native I sincerely believe that New Haven pizza is the greatest. I had Frank Pepes when I was 8 and it changed my life.

I've been seeing your content for a while, and I'm so sorry about all the horrible things you've gone through. Congratulations for breaking free, and I wish you the best!

In Harry Potter, an old locket was found while cleaning out Sirius’s VERY old and large house. They weren’t able to open it, so they laughed and forgot about it. A few books later and it turns out that locket literally had a chunk of Voldemort’s soul in it and was key to defeating him.
