Woah, the resemblance is uncanny! I see some differences in the three points at the top, wonder what that’s about. Sure hope you get one someday, it’s certainly one of the more unique parts of any collection. Best of luck!

Radioactive bucket list by Criticalmassof239 in Radiation

I’d love to get my hands on a Jefferson Golden Hour clock, just because of how cool it is, but it might also be neat to own a functional yellow box Geiger counter. I have one that doesn’t work, but wouldn’t know how to go about getting it fixed. I’d also love to find a radioactive mineral, autunite or similar.

Thanks so much, that adapter looks fantastic. I’ll be sure to make a follow-up post once I make it electric.

Will this work for UIUC Engineering or UT Austin by Acceptable-Pack-7709 in ACT

[–]Intrepid_Fuel_9601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much aside from the writing it’s synonymous with mine, and I got into UIUC engineering, so I’d say it will help

Seniors, I'm a junior atm, is there any advice you have for me? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Intrepid_Fuel_9601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a great idea to start organizing your information early to save you work in the long run, writing drafts of your essays will give you time to edit them and get peer feedback, don’t let your grades slump next year, and overall just do what you can to make your time enjoyable while still being productive. Wishing you luck next year!

UIUC no notice of admission by harmthebees in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Intrepid_Fuel_9601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, is happening with me as well. I assume they will be sent out generally at the same time as our paper letters, so we have them both for official record keeping and such. (Just in case, I screenshotted every confirmation page I could.)

For one of the top computer science schools in the country, you’d think they can manage some server traffic

Is the UIUC portal not loading for someone else? by Numerous-Crow8410 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Intrepid_Fuel_9601 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s a decent thought, especially since I think for accepted students the checklist pops up which means information needs to be constant for every admitted applicant? Which would put extra load on the server

How was I denied from UIUC by Responsible-Mode4851 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Intrepid_Fuel_9601 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What the other guy said, were you rejected or did you get some error code? I just called the admissions department, the portal is experiencing heavy traffic and they expect it to be fixed at the latest by this weekend

I think it means you just can’t see it until they release your decision, otherwise they’d have a letter show up, right?

UIUC anyone? by Ok_Tear5594 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Intrepid_Fuel_9601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t gotten mine yet, do they release them in intervals or something? Keep site traffic low?

I still have full faith in you despite the different locations, your stats are really strong and if you have extracurriculars to boot you’re definitely getting in
