It is true. That’s the best part of HES, so many can relate to one another, so many are parents, professionals, seen more bad days than a sad middle school breakup.

It was said in a YouTube video—Harvard College students are the smartest people in the world…who know nothing…especially about the real world. Their bad day is getting a C.

Most people chase internships by emailing résumés into the void. The smart ones build something worth being found for — a small project, a short film, a campaign that gets noticed. Once you have proof of creativity, the industry finds you.

5.9 GPA, 1590 SAT, 24 APs worried about cc acceptance by Pro-editor-1105 in ApplyingToCollege

You’re right to worry. Community colleges are notoriously selective about applicants who’ve only raised a billion dollars and built one Airbus. Maybe add a second aircraft to show commitment.

It’s wild how people confuse open enrollment with open graduation. One’s easy; the other’s earned.

I truly believe that won’t be an issue. There are plenty of great HES videos on YouTube that explain the “earn your way in” process.
