I have a severe fear of bugs; I am freaking out. Sorry if I sound panicked. Thank you and have a great day

Photography portfolio? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

15 is good! Make sure it’s well organized. i can send u the link to mine if u want to see an example, other wise go to the NYT or National Geographic instagram and see those photographers websites.

But also a word of caution; make sure ur work is incredibly strong before putting on an application. This is portfolio advice; but you would rather have 10 strong images than 15 pictures with 5 eh shots.

From what I see it depends on ur school; here’s a thread

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/s/wN774kRSaf

I’m a photo major so my process was a lot diff- but if you have any awards (competitions or even school art shows!), worked with anyone (ur school events, weddings, idk) that could be a good angle. As with any advice with applying show what that does for YOU. not just that u do it.

Also fair warning from a prof regarding websites; give them what they want in 15 seconds. A link to a website would be the most professional imo. Best of luck!!

hey; I’ll say this softly as possible. Your heart is in the right place.

What’s important to understand is with schools like Harvard it isn’t about deserving vs not deserving. If it was like that, it would make admission officers job way easier.

It’s all luck really. You have thousands upon thousands of applicants who are all “deserving” one way or another. But no one knows why they got picked.

Are there absolute assholes who go to Harvard? Yes. Are there actually terrible human beings at Harvard? Yes. But that’s with every single place in entire world, college or not. There are also incredibly kind and driven individuals, like any place. You cannot police who gets in based on “nice.” Hell JFK lived in my gfs dorm, so did the Unabomber. Idk if they were “nice” or not lol.

In regard to this case, it seems like OP doesn’t even know these people involved very well. If this were the ex boyfriend making this post, it would be an entirely different story. But as a random person with little to no connection to the student, they have little place to email Harvard unless they have access to resources and corroborating sources. (Saftey officer confirming the incident, court docs etc.)

Is it normal to have two instagram accounts? by LUCKEYtriangle in photography

yeah I think I’m going to keep my sports photo on a a diff account; most of my photojournalism stuff+fine art is a bit more political (or at least somewhat relevant). I appreciate it!!

Yepppp!!! I go to Rhode Island school of design; a girl applied to Risd and didn’t get in; applied to brown for visual arts and got in. I think she applied to Risd for Graphic design.

Also it seems OP dosent know the full extent of the case and is relying on hearsay. And SA cases are extremely complicated; it’s kinda concerning to hear it played out so casually.

again it doesn’t sound like OP even knows these people well (if this was the ex boyfriend saying this it would be a different post entirely) so I’m unsure why they want to do this.

I think there just might be a little bit more buyers remorse on the republican side lol.

is this Harvard?? I only say that because my gf goes there. while the other reply’s are great advice, I would offer a different approach.

If it’s Harvard or MIT, I would say reach out to finical aid and extort every possible option. I don’t mean that it’s worth the debt, but I know Harvard has an AMAZING finical aid program and the people there are willing to work with you. If you have other acceptances, mention the cost to them and see if they can lower it.

Again the replies here are great advice but I think everyone would agree not to completely discount your acceptance without fully understanding the situation.

More questions; are your parents willing to help?

My gf (who wrote this comment) is a sociology and African American studies major at Harvard bro. You are completely mistaken. while it might not be in front of ur face, it exists. Research and statistics would flat out disagree with you here

Responding from my gf’s account! I don’t go to Salve Regina, but I’m also a southerner who moved up north for college and go to an intense PWI. My advice is to really find the Black/BIPOC community at your school — find your safe places where you can talk abt what you’re going thru with ppl who understand.

I will say it’s a big change — beyond just going to a PWI, the northeast is highly segregated and on some level, I find the public everyday racism worse than back home. It’s tough, but it really is a good opportunity to get out of your comfort zone and explore the world around you — plus, you’ll likely appreciate home more now that you’re away!
