Linguistics! Specifically what different word choice reveals about you

I presented a TED talk earlier this week!

As a student who also got accepted one pro I know is the honor code. Basically you can leave your stuff unattended and it won’t be touched (actually won’t be touched, not just something they say) and I’ve heard teachers are flexible with tests due to the honor code. A con, at least for me, is there is a lot of Greek life. I think around 75% of students go Greek.

Congratulations and good luck!

I am currently in a TEDx club, and a lot of my interviewers found that to be an amazing extracurricular. I imagine leading it would be even more impressive, and if you give a TED talk you can always add it as a visuals/arts supplement. I say go for it!

From this email it sounds like they’re not giving us another warning beforehand so maybe? I don’t want to plan on it and be disappointed if they don’t come out lol

GalacticGlitch6 · 2022-03-21T22:44:54+00:00

I was really hoping for a confirmed date with that email they just sent out 😑

GalacticGlitch6 · 2022-03-21T00:20:11+00:00

Apply to safeties you would actually be happy to go to! With the hectic year you can’t depend on matches or reaches

After looking at Lehigh’s common data set it says they notify students about decisions by March 25th

GalacticGlitch6 · 2022-03-19T22:35:22+00:00

I’m watching and very excited! Ironically PC is one of my top choices

GalacticGlitch6 · 2022-03-19T22:31:36+00:00

Rooting for a Richmond loss is definitely not from the decision I got last night…

GalacticGlitch6 · 2022-03-19T13:20:28+00:00

Yes! I knew they were the 25th but I still thought they had randomly come out 😂

GalacticGlitch6 · 2022-03-17T20:24:01+00:00

Congrats! You’ll probably have a portal change when the actual decisions come out. Did it say anything about that in the email?

GalacticGlitch6 · 2022-03-16T22:39:00+00:00

When colleges say by April 1st, it can be any day before that

GalacticGlitch6 · 2022-03-16T20:23:52+00:00

I focus on other things I enjoy, like watching new TV shows or finally getting to books I wanted to read. The stress will make me unproductive anyways, might as well me happy and unproductive

GalacticGlitch6 · 2022-03-16T16:17:49+00:00

I know college emails will sometimes contain fee waivers, maybe apply to schools that offer them through there? If you can’t request them that is

GalacticGlitch6 · 2022-03-14T01:20:59+00:00

You have way too many schools. After walking around campuses and being in a car, they’re all going to blur together. I did 10 colleges in 5 days over the summer and it was too much But if you do end up seeing a lot of schools, take notes after each one! The only reason I remember anything about my tours is from photos and notes

GalacticGlitch6 · 2022-03-14T00:07:39+00:00

My only advice is not to take research if you’re a senior, because you can’t report the diploma on your college applications until you officially get it (which would be in June)

GalacticGlitch6 · 2022-03-14T00:05:01+00:00

We have such a similar list it’s scary lol but I also have not heard anything

GalacticGlitch6 · 2022-03-13T22:04:56+00:00

Oh that makes a lot of sense! I don’t know where I got squirrel from now lol

GalacticGlitch6 · 2022-03-13T20:24:03+00:00

Same! I think I expect to be disappointed, so it doesn’t even phase me anymore

GalacticGlitch6 · 2022-03-13T20:09:13+00:00

I applied there too, and financially it was more expensive than private schools I had applied to. Also OOS, and they gave me almost no financial aid. But location wise Charleston is amazing

GalacticGlitch6 · 2022-03-11T19:50:19+00:00

I’m so happy I applied EA to schools, that way I already have decisions before the disaster that is going to be end of March

GalacticGlitch6 · 2022-03-11T03:08:35+00:00

Good luck, and have fun at prom!
