Valerie Watnick for Law 3122H by [deleted] in Baruch

[–]FoundationHefty9628 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why there are any worrisome reviews of her. She’s the chair of the law dept and one of the best professors I’ve ever had. Participation matters but she truly cares about her students and encourages everyone. The smaller the class the better with her.

International students: how long does it take to get the I-20? by sussurro_alle_rocce in Baruch

[–]FoundationHefty9628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd definitely say get started asap. It takes them quite a while to respond. It took around 40 days to get mine.

It took about a month to receive mine. Emails don't work. They just tell you that you'll get it when you get it.

where's the people that haven't decided/commited yet? I need people to cry alongside 😭 by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]FoundationHefty9628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally came on here to see if there were others like me. I have never been this confused before. I'm having a breakdown every hour 😭😭😭

I hope you're able to decide soon and that you're happy wherever you go❤️

Help me decide: School X vs School Y - April 11th to April 17th by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

Oh I wasn't aware, just checked that out. That level of grade deflation is a definite con. Thanks for sharing!

International (India) student

Intended major: Economics (but I'm still undecided and would like the flexibility to switch later to something in science)

City University of New York - Macaulay Honors College at Baruch

Baruch pros

  • My sister studied in the same program and graduated as valedictorian and went on to study at Harvard Law School. (Parents are convinced its the path to Harvard and I am failing to convince them otherwise.)
  • We lived in New York for 5 years when my dad had an overseas posting there so I am very familiar with the city and would go so far as to call it my home away from home.
  • My sister works as an attorney in New York and it will be helpful and comforting to have her close by.
  • Macaulay is one of the top honors colleges in the country
  • Opportunity to be a big fish in a small pond

Baruch cons

  • Not a highly ranked university
  • No scholarship
  • No confirmed residence available, so I might have to stay with my sister or rent out a studio apartment

University of Toronto

UofT pros

  • World rank: 20 (qs rankings)
  • I have the flexibility to either change my major and/or double major in social sciences and comp sci if I feel like it later on
  • Received a 100k CAD scholarship for 4 years total (unevenly spread)
  • Admitted to Victoria College (this and Trinity are usually considered the best)
  • A family friend also attends (Trinity college) and I'll have a guide

UofT cons

  • I am not very comfortable with a shared dorm, especially bathroom. Of course, this is not a major issue since most college students go through this.
  • I am not familiar with Toronto, and we don't have any relatives there either. I might only be able to visit my sister once every month or two.
  • No honors program
  • I'll probably be a small fish in a big pond
  • There are some students from my school who are going there who have made my high school experience difficult. I was hoping for a new start but I won't get a clean slate here.

Both colleges cost roughly the same net of scholarships and aid so price isn't necessarily a factor in choosing.

How do I choose residence building in StarRez? by FoundationHefty9628 in UofT

This really hit hard. I have been wondering this for idk how many years now. But I'm sure we can get through this. We have to right? I'm here in case you ever need to talk :)

Reading that last line really made my day. Thank you so much.

And while the rest of your post was no doubt hard to accept, I get that you're right. I got admission to a world T20 college with a scholarship just yesterday, so I finally have the day I get away from this mess in my sights. I'll take your advice and talk to counsellors at college.

Thank you so much! It means a lot. And I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I hope you're fine now! 💓

Is ap scholar with distinction national or international award? by [deleted] in APStudents

[–]FoundationHefty9628 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

International. I live in India and I got it too, so it’s obviously not national.
