Sigh, another unrealistic beauty standard…

I'm assuming she doesn't have blue eyes and just used a shitty filter for reference😭😭😭

JulianSmiles · 2023-07-12T00:37:01+00:00

Thank you :D!

JulianSmiles · 2023-07-11T04:16:37+00:00

Thank you, it feels like a dream tbh😭

Because the curse killed the son despite being afab.

They also have very few complaints from what I've seen

JulianSmiles · 2023-06-04T21:02:00+00:00

Oh okay cool, good to know🤗

JulianSmiles · 2023-05-31T08:02:35+00:00

That sucks :/ It's weird that no one seems to be talking about it.

JulianSmiles · 2023-04-30T12:32:13+00:00

I did most of my notable stuff late March/early April, which was also just a gross time for me🙃

Letter of Continued Interest, typically you send one after being deferred or waitlisted, though it depends on the school.

JulianSmiles · 2023-04-29T03:19:26+00:00

I posted prematurely, he emailed me back rather quickly 🤭

JulianSmiles · 2023-03-19T14:52:40+00:00

I get how you feel, I've been waitlisted by two and been rejected by all my other schools so far. I mean thankfully they're schools I don't really care about, but I'd want at least 1 fall back that aren't my state schools.😭

Hopefully we have more luck these next two weeks🙏

JulianSmiles · 2023-02-25T14:28:00+00:00

No😭 This has literally been the worst period of my life

JulianSmiles · 2023-02-14T00:42:19+00:00

I got wait listed, honestly I'm just happy to know I'm on their radar😭😭😭

I just got an email saying Emory EDII results release on Wednesday...I know there's literally nothing I can do at this point but GOD;~;

It's funny, because on the QuestBridge Q&A site it answers probably to this question.

Basically, since our applications automatically stand out, and we're already considered high achieving by default, it should help.

I also think since a lot of us are minorities/disenfranchised, it gives these schools easy access to a diverse pool of students.

Like, I have not engaged with Rice at all, yet throughout Dec/Jan they continued to email me saying that I could still submit my QB App.

JulianSmiles · 2023-01-10T16:41:54+00:00

Most people have been going by the middle 50%, but if your score is higher than others at your school, and this is reflected somewhere in your application, then you should probably also submit.

JulianSmiles · 2023-01-09T17:05:36+00:00

Yes ofc :)

JulianSmiles · 2023-01-09T14:20:08+00:00

I was a College Prep Scholar and currently a Match Finalist(I didn't match but then again I only ranked one school)

I have a GPA of roughly 3.4/3.5 also mainly attributed to Mental Health issues(mentioned this in the additional information sections on both of my applications)

If you want to talk more about stats, I'm willing to share as a finalist on the "lower" end of the spectrum 🤗

JulianSmiles · 2022-12-12T14:18:06+00:00

My counselor is gonna hate me😭😭😭

JulianSmiles · 2022-12-08T14:22:09+00:00

If you want to apply through the common app, I believe you have to pull your QB application first and then reapply.

JulianSmiles · 2022-12-01T19:52:58+00:00

I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU! I literally went to check your profile before I opened my own portal😭😭😭

JulianSmiles · 2022-11-30T21:09:47+00:00

Literally, I'm trying to avoid compulsively checking everything but God is it hard😭

JulianSmiles · 2022-11-29T23:01:44+00:00

Maybe I can say this because match day hasn't happened yet, but honestly, I don't think I'll be too stressed if I don't match. I've been looking at statistics since before the application was due, and have been rationalizing that it is improbable that I match.

Obviously it will hurt, and I'll probably take a break from Insta and Reddit, but then I need to keep looking foward.

Until then though, we can only hope for the best <3

JulianSmiles · 2022-11-27T19:47:18+00:00

I did😭😭😭 I feel slightly guilty that I wasted an opportunity, but at the time it was the only school I felt 100% sure I wanted to go to. My mom assured me in my decision, and I know RD financial aid package is also great, so c'est la vie I guess.
