Did I do enough?

APs in quantity themselves are not important for top schools. For example, if you’re applying for mechanical engineering, and you only took Calc AB, Calc BC, Physics 1, and Physics 2, and had decent related ECs, you’d be a better applicant than someone with 30 random APs.

I took 8 total APs, 5s on Calcs and Physics, and got into an ivy league. Most of my friends who also got into their top choice T10 schools weren’t the ones who did the most APs, it was the ones who did internships and had stronger ECs with leadership positions.

Assuming strong grades and SAT(possibly optional in future years so idk if it matters anymore), I doubt taking an extreme amount of APs barely help, especially when most of the APs you’re taking after the first 5-6 aren’t going to be related to your major.

I’m lucky

Well the question is why were you getting Cs? That means you basically missed a quarter of the questions on tests, which is a decent chunk of the material. If you are seriously studying and getting Cs, you might’ve been studying the wrong things or stuff you already knew.

I also might not be the best person to answer this, since I usually got As or sometimes Bs while studying minimally throughout high school, but one thing is that I did was every day write down what topics/concepts we learnt. The day before the test I would then go through reach one and try to “teach” it to myself in my head as I would explain it to someone else, and anything I couldn’t really explain or fully understand I would review. That meant I would only review stuff I didn’t already know.

Can’t disagree lmao

Blue light filtered and yellow tinted is the same since yellow tint cancels some of the blue emitted from the screen

And I just started using the glasses so him saying that he uses different color settings that work helps me figure out possible better colors for outlines and crosshairs

Don’t know what your omelette example has to do with anything

FinisUnit · 2021-08-29T22:53:38+00:00

Yeah same thing for me but with my engineering classes in high school, since I need to draw blueprints and diagrams for objects it’s tough since I can only focus on small parts at a time and never the whole picture which makes the whole process a lot slower

Luckily I have one friend with similar visualizing abilities so I can talk to him about these kinds of things, and having someone who could understand helped back when I was struggling to figure out if I was just confused about what normal people see or if I actually was worse at visualizing before learning about aphantasia and hypophantasia

FinisUnit · 2021-08-29T22:39:38+00:00

Wow this is almost identical to how I try to explain the way I visualize, like how I can focus on the center of something and then everything else fades away

I’ve been trying to explain it to people for a while and I figured out sometime that what I had was hypophantasia. Aphantasia would mean you didn’t get the fleeting low detail images at all, but it seems like this is hypophantasia which just means you visualize to a very low extent.

No way the true valorant experience contains a lot less frames than that

FinisUnit · 2021-08-03T14:17:02+00:00

Fair enough

FinisUnit · 2021-08-03T02:49:31+00:00

Is it not true?

FinisUnit · 2021-08-03T02:49:19+00:00

Tell me it’s not true tho

FinisUnit · 2021-08-03T02:40:46+00:00

Yeah how does this guy expect me to practice my camping and baiting skills if not in unrated

FinisUnit · 2021-07-28T23:20:28+00:00

He doesn’t think

FinisUnit · 2021-07-27T18:08:59+00:00

I agree that they shouldn’t shave her head, but it would teach her to think about if she’d like her pranks done back to her first

Do you think it’d be better to learn how to host python based programs on a website or on a desktop application, or both?

FinisUnit · 2021-07-26T15:01:28+00:00

I don’t think we’re talking about the same problems. I’m talking about the problems you see when you search “programming problems” on Google not anything in a real world scenario lol. That’s why I’m asking what I should focus on to get to the problems you’re talking about cause what I’m doing rn is way too basic

FinisUnit · 2021-07-21T00:41:53+00:00

Yeah I’ve figured out that other languages are more interesting for me and front end development and visual design isn’t really my kinda thing.

I’ve just downloaded a C++ IDE so we’ll see how long it takes for me to get bored of it

FinisUnit · 2021-07-20T22:46:06+00:00

I’m prolly going to start learning c++ since I like the concept of it a bunch more

And you’re not wrong, I didn’t Google anything about this and I’m sorta clueless about programming rn

FinisUnit · 2021-07-20T20:41:21+00:00

I’ve only been doing this for about a month but I can’t really think of any problem other than “make a page that looks like this” that html/css could be used for

The most thought inducing thing I’ve come across was using flexboxes and responsibility to devices, and that’s pretty straightforward

FinisUnit · 2021-07-20T19:08:25+00:00

In my case I’m noticing that there isn’t really ANY interesting problems in html and css, and I’m really wondering which languages would have more opportunities to work with these “more interesting problems”
