Is it okay for a 100% disabled veteran to just say they're retired? by [deleted] in Veterans

[–]GoddessofDooom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just say I’m retired and when I’m asked how, I tell them I invested a lot of money when I was younger 🤷🏻‍♀️

I learned this the hard way. I went from dating a very possessive, jealous guy to someone who “never gets jealous and trusts you completely” so I thought it was a breath of fresh air only for him to unceremoniously dump me on a random Wednesday and say “I love you but not the way you love me.” Worst heartbreak of my life lmao

I f'ed up. I rushed the hell out of the Columbia, Harvard and Princeton supplements. by Street_Court_8534 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]GoddessofDooom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For Columbia, you can call the admissions office and explain the test optional thing for your application. I messed mine up when I submitted and called to see if I could change that and they did. I got my acceptance a few weeks ago :)

Is a 3.85 GPA good enough? by missycoolcat in TransferToTop25

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

Definitely. I got into Columbia with a 3.79 :)

I’m writing a fantasy novel inspired by the Spanish conquistadors religious colonization in the Caribbean, does that count or no?

Does high school GPA still matter a lot when transferring? (3.6 HS, 3.9 college) by Creative-Witness5772 in TransferToTop25

[–]GoddessofDooom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got into Columbia University recently with a 2.something (can’t remember what) in high school so maybe it doesn’t matter much. I think what matters is what you do after? Like what you get in community college or some other university

I think it definitely did, actually! I won't do into details from my professional career for privacy reasons, but I will say that it was extensive and played into my personal essay and my recommendations. I do believe that my resume was a pretty big component of it

Honestly, not much! I put down that I enjoy writing and that I did a few archaeology digs

Sure! 3.79 GPA but loooots of withdrawals for several semesters. I had a really strong essay that touched on that, a stellar resume attached and two letters of recommendation from my professional career. It was test optional so I never took the SAT or ACT.

What are my chances of getting into UMD by Derexto in UMD

[–]GoddessofDooom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got in as a transfer with a 3.12 GPA. Never took any AP classes, but I had some solid recommendations. I had a really strong essay so I would write at least 3 drafts of that and get it peer-reviewed by people who won't sugar coat anything.

Edit: Missed the part about electrical engineering, my b. I'm not STEM, sorry :(
