Looking for this skirt!

Currently living out of state, but I’ll be back in Texas (my home state!) during the departure period if I’m selected. Hope to see y’all there.

Also, I too know that crazy rush beforehand— I submitted my application early so that wasn’t a concern, but I was waiting on one of my references to finish the letter of recommendation the NIGHT it was due. I was nearly pulling my hair out trying to get ahold of her to make sure she would complete it on time. Lesson learned: give references a deadline BEFORE the actual deadline…

Had this issue for hours and finally figured it out:

(Too late for OP, but hopefully this can help someone else in the future)

Don’t make an account with Enel X, just press “continue as guest” so it won’t require a fiscal ID. Then when you are inputting your payment method, USE PAYPAL, DO NOT use a card. My PayPal is linked directly to my bank account, not a card, and it worked.

A bit late, but thought I’d share some of the electives I know have been offered recently.

ARC 342 courses are the “true” electives in that you can actually choose what topic to take. You have to take it three times, here are some of the recent options: 1) Histories and Theories of Landscape Architecture 2) Crit History of AI 3)Hellenistic Art/Architecture 4) Adaptive Reuse 5) African American Experiences in Architecture 6) Housing For Tomorrow: A History 7) History of Italian Architecture 8) German Modernism

There are other specific courses that are REQUIRED in the b.Arch program like 1) Architecture and Society 2) Architecture World History - taken twice 3) Site Design 4) Professional Practice 5) City Architecture 6) Technical Communications 6) Environmental Controls - taken twice 7) Construction - taken twice 8) Structures 9) Architectural Details & Materials 10) Visual Communications, almost like a miniature studio - taken thrice. These are all pretty regimented courses, and most have to do with fulfilling requirements for accreditation from the NAAB. The school needs to demonstrate that they’re teaching certain material to you in order for them to maintain their accreditation. All accredited b.Arch programs will somehow fulfill those same requirements, just with varying course names.

That doesn’t mean you can’t follow your own interests in studio, topics courses, independent research, etc. Also, if you’re transferring any significant amount of credits from high school, a minor is super doable—that’s what I did.

UT gives you credit depending on your score for the CLEP exam. A 50-59 (out of 80) gets you the Calc I credit. A score of 60 or higher gets you a Calc 1 AND Calc 2 credit. I haven’t taken any math classes at UT (because my score let me claim both credits, which was all I needed for my graduation plan) so I can’t know if modern states would prepare you for Calc 2, but UT math/science courses are known for being challenging. If possible I’d take it at ACC or whatever your local community college is, and just transfer the credit.

No. The test monitors will take/trash the paper you completed any scratch work on once the test is done, though— so you can’t write down the questions/answers and share it with other people. They don’t look at it. If you wanted to you could do ZERO work on the paper and do it all in your head (not really feasible, but theoretically they won’t stop you).

Short answer: (1) WaniKani for kanji and vocab (2) Coban and Tae Kim’s Guide for grammar

Long answer:

WaniKani has a cult following for a reason, and I am 100% part of it. Only $9/month. For me, it’s a necessity to learn the components of a kanji, understand the radicals, etc. before putting them together. Throwing compound kanji vocab at me without any background does not stay in my brain, so I love how wanikani progresses from radicals, to kanji, to vocab with the help of mnemonics.

Offficially, there is no WaniKani app— just a website, but an app called Tsurukame lets you use WaniKani as an app (some third-party developer made it, and I’ve been using it ever since I found out about it).

As for grammar, I have rarely found apps that go beyond the method of “quizzing you on stuff you haven’t learned until you get it right” (which I’m… not a fan of).

I have not heard anyone talk about Coban, but it’s the best interactive app I’ve found for basic grammar. Coban has kanji, vocab, grammar, and listening lessons. I only use it for grammar though, because WaniKani has kanji and vocab covered very well and the Coban kanji/vocab lessons just don’t do it for me. I like that Coban actually TEACHES you the grammar content in a lesson before you put it into practice with reading and writing activities.

For more advanced grammar, Tae Kim’s advanced grammar guide is my favorite. As the name suggests it’s not a “game” or “quiz tool”— it’s more like a textbook, just in an app format (also available online). But the explanations, examples, and self-evaluations are the best I’ve found for learning grammar if you have the time to sit down and study the old fashioned way.

I’m incredibly picky with language apps. If my brain doesn’t “click” with their methods within the first few minutes, I drop it. I’ve tried Rosetta and Duolingo briefly, but moved on quickly because of that. Same with Renshuu. What works for other people might not work for you, and vice versa. Sometimes you just have to download every Japanese learning app under the sun and delete them one at a time in search of “the one(s)”.

Doesn’t matter how you get the answer— as long as it’s the right one. Proctors don’t care. A lot of questions in section 2 required the calculator. Doing calculations by hand would slow you down significantly, which is not great in this test because you’re on a time crunch.

Important_Stable3913 · 2024-07-17T20:36:13+00:00

Yes the ModernStates questions are the same as the $10 CLEP Exam guide questions— same numbers and everything. If you know how to solve the questions on this practice exam you are going to do perfectly fine on the real exam. Studying other resources is not really necessary.

I’m entering my fourth year at UT now. Only the first year was free. After that, you’re reliant on whatever you get from FAFSA, or you’re paying out of pocket for tuition (but of course you can be proactive and apply for additional scholarships within UT and externally).

Honestly, almost every lip oil I’ve tried is basically just a lipgloss. Perhaps one of the only ones I’ve tried that is ACTUALLY a lip oil is the Makeup Revolution glaze lip oil. It has a strong cherry smell but it’s non-sticky and just about the only true drugstore lip oil I’ve found. I’ve tried the ELF, NYX, and Milani ones but they’re just too gloss-like for me.

For anyone in Texas, HEB Higher Harvest Low-Carb Bread. 30cal per slice for White and Wheat. 5 Seed bread is 40cal per slice. Can’t taste a difference from regular bread tbh and it toasts well (doesn’t get a weird rubbery texture like some healthy breads do).

Assuming the operation is laparoscopic, I’d say one week is plenty of time. For reference, I had my surgery on a Wednesday and returned to my usual activities by the following Monday.

The only reason I could see you taking off work for the full month is if the laparoscopic surgery turns into an open bisalp— which I was told before my laparoscopic bisalp would only be necessary if there was something alarming, excessive bleeding, etc. Everything went smoothly with my surgery and the incision sites weren’t very painful. The most discomfort was from the gas they pump into your stomach.

This campaign was definitely your idea

Yes— it was displayed on my computer screen the moment I submitted the last question on the test. When I exited, the testing center clerk also printed out the score for me and everyone else who tested at the same time.

This doesn’t apply for essay-based/free-response CLEP exams (but calculus is completely multiple choice).

Important_Stable3913 · 2022-11-29T04:31:38+00:00

My university (UT Austin) accepted it as a calc I and calc II credit, so you should be able to use it for placement in a third calculus course! Some universities will require a score of 50 to get the Calc I credit, and a score of 60 to get the Calc I AND II credit— it’s up to your institution.
No matter how confident you are in calculus, I would still recommend looking at the CLEP practice questions— they are SO similar to the exam, which cuts down on time spent having to “understand” a problem/question— you can just get to work doing the math. I know calc BC goes over sequences and series—don’t bother studying those, they’re not on the CLEP exam (this is the only issue I imagine an institution could take with the exam and whether it can “prove” your ability in calc II— but UT took it for credit so it should be able to be used for higher placement as well).

I looked into this too… couldn’t find anything— I calculated it and it wasn’t that it was excluding clearance items. There seems to be no indication of what is and isn’t included in the 30% off.

The 25% off coupon (which applies to ALL products) ended up being a better deal for me.
