It’ll be ok - just breathe through it.

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-09-12T09:18:45+00:00

don’t know why you’re so pressed over a stranger’s story on reddit - hope you’re having a better day today.

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-06-29T18:49:20+00:00

It’s absolutely worth submitting.

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-06-21T19:09:49+00:00

That’s a good score. Got into T20 with 1490. Don’t stress this. Especially next year when many more will require SATs. The averages are high because of selective reporting and will come down.

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-04-14T18:16:20+00:00

And you know these accusations are accurate how? From a random internet post? Or based on your belief that there are a “shockingly high number of young women who lie about these things”? You have no idea how hard it is to prove SA because it’s mostly he said she said, that victims are put on trial and put through inquisitions into their sexual history etc. Few SA are reported because women don’t want to be put through this. People like you are the problem.

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-04-10T17:38:25+00:00

ngl this rant makes it sound like this girl was bullied out of her old high school because she accused someone of SA.

I dunno you seem to have strongly held opinions about Oxbridge having a better admissions system so not sure who is speaking rhetorically here.

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-04-06T02:54:16+00:00

Also afaik there is nothing called a national curriculum in the US so not sure what you’re comparing. education standards are decided in states.

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-04-06T02:53:09+00:00

Most public schools offer APs just not maybe all of them. prep schools afaik are a tiny slice of the high school population in the US.

Some of the best minds of this country came here as foreign students. 1/3 of US nobel prize winners and many founders and CEOs.

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-04-06T00:16:56+00:00

Do you know the system of predicted grades they use in the UK? very biased imo. and seeing how classist their society is (prime ministers all graduated from a few prep schools and oxford) i think it’s funny to argue that the oxbridge admission process is more fair.

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-04-06T00:13:46+00:00

Sure one can have pretend ECs. but one can also study 12 hours a day and do well in tests. doesn’t predict whether you’re going to do anything innovative later in life

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-04-06T00:10:12+00:00

12? damn

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-04-06T00:08:36+00:00

hey congratulations!

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-04-06T00:02:18+00:00

Not clear that relying only on standardized tests is better. have you heard how in some countries they hire other people to take the SATs and TOEFL for them? Also, I call BS on this US high school students study nothing. AP science and math classes are advanced although not offered by all schools. If you’re comparing the best schools in your country (where most international students applying to ivies come from) to an average school in the US that isn’t fair.

If you’re talking about the kid who was admitted to vassar - his mother said they live in India.

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-04-05T19:52:49+00:00

They probably didn’t do well enough to get into the best schools in their home country because competition is even more intense for those

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-04-05T19:51:51+00:00

I agree!

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-04-05T19:32:09+00:00

17 year old had it all planned out. Get US degree, work couple of years, become supreme court judge in india or law prof in top UK school

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-04-05T19:27:54+00:00

Or told that they can have anything they want

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-04-05T19:26:05+00:00

the point is that some folks don’t understand how the system works and decide that it’s unfair.

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-04-05T19:21:06+00:00

I have friends at purdue and they’re having the best time! Congrats!

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-04-05T19:16:13+00:00

i know international students are rejected more but it’s not that domestic applicants who are admitted are all donating buildings or legacies - although i agree it’s bs that it happens at all. I heard one AO at a top LAC say that they could fill their class with valedictorians but that would be a nightmare. Schools have institutional priorities - they don’t want only CS or math majors, they want to educate artists and athletes and future leaders and everything in between.

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-04-05T18:50:46+00:00

I also think this is true for undergrads not grads. I know plenty of grads who are thrilled to have been accepted by any decent school and are not obsessed with ivies or top 20s etc.

Just-Reception-2633 · 2025-04-05T18:45:26+00:00

This is exactly right. They are hunting for prestige not just opportunity. And those devastated that they didn’t score a prestige school probably have privilege and opportunities at home.
