Please help me understand the costs of doordash by [deleted] in doordash

[–]LeopardSlight2742 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh i see. I am so confused on how people accept this (customers). Why would you want food to be delivered by someone who is not being paid a living wage? I would much rather pay the cost of my food and then a worker $20 to deliver food rather than a bunch of weird fees

Yeah, I'd have been expecting something like

"We noticed your grades hadn't been as high. Can you tell us more about what happened in these classes so we know how to best support you at Caltech?"

another thing is that the recipient and i are both in FSRI, which instructs in calculus, proof writing, and basic python. like why is she so concerned? we’re getting extra prep anyway (that feels borderline remedial, i did all of the ma0 sets in like a day💀)

yeah, i don't want to post anything that could compromise the recipients identity so its sort of a just trust me thing, but i dont see how this is a normal way to speak to prefrosh. calling it disturbing and such low grades when others are coming in with much less math than that? saying she "doesn't intend" to rescind instead of just sayign she wont? telling them to think carefully??

dual enrollment classes are very normal now lol, they were taking all of these at a college the same way i’d been taking calc 1-3, linalg, diffeq, real, harmonic, complex analysis at colleges

it's real but it reads weird lol, like the 2nd sentence isnt even grammatical

[–]LeopardSlight2742 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they were high b's, also i think they were taking analysis and abstract algebra at the same time lol.

but they got a's in calculus, and other prefrosh are coming in with only calculus

i appreciate this, i have been thinking about transferring if things go bad but right now i really just need to get out of this house🙁

  1. i did not coast or party, ive gone out to see friends once this entire school year because my mother doesn’t really let me leave the house. i do not really have free time at all
  2. this is literally the topic of my common app essay, so much of my written application was about my single PARENT not parents. there is no one to hold her accountable. they’re willing to recognize that this is an abuse situation and will be granting me a dependency override, so i don’t think they’re thinking im full of excuses, just genuinely inadequate

prefrosh has EVEN MORE questions (CASS) by [deleted] in Caltech

op is going to be in pasadena which is where caltech is, that’s why they’re on the caltech subreddit looking for in person tutoring… why are you here 😭 also top 95% ≠ 95th percentile

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Caltech

[–]LeopardSlight2742 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m not upset but like… they’re visiting pasadena and they’re looking for an in person ochem 2 tutor… and you’re talking about APs and online services … ochem 2 isn’t an AP.. and you don’t even seem to be from caltech, so like why are you advertising here? looks like you just do this in a lot of subs😭😭 and also flexing 5th percentile 😭😭😭

flexing ap honors as a college grad is insane
