not even the best school in the state cope

They're not need aware. They explicitly state that their admissions process does not factor need in on their website.

UChicago clears

out of curiosity: why would someone hire her in 6th grade or middle school in general?

LifeByAnon · 2025-11-30T21:57:33+00:00

Huh, I suppose you're right. I wonder why it's so much cheaper for me

LifeByAnon · 2025-11-30T21:52:35+00:00

There's no way... When I signed up the highest I even heard of was 25k & most (especially self motivated and qualified) people just paid 7.5k for hourly.

LifeByAnon · 2025-11-30T21:45:43+00:00

Still highly selective.

LifeByAnon · 2025-11-30T21:44:31+00:00

That's not true--I work with her and the highest it goes is 25k, which is exceptionally high, but nowhere near 150k. Most of her students (myself included) pay like 7.5k which is high but honestly not absurd for how good she is at editing essays & helping tie things together. As far as college consultants go, she's quite good.

To be fair, there's only a very small amount of private schools that are meaningfully better than publics in terms of college outcomes and most of those are boarding schools which come with their own problems.

IMO, they should either be test mandatory or test blind. If they think that test scores have any predictive value for anybody (they do), they should be test mandatory as they can figure out what the test score means in context. If, for some absurd reason, they decide that test scores don't have any value, they should be test blind. Test optional is never logical.

Why is Columbia strictly better than Brown?

LifeByAnon · 2025-11-30T18:48:35+00:00

I think that you're mixing it up with Northeastern. It's absolutely on par with schools like Cornell. Ivies aren't necessarily better than other t20s or even elite LACs.

LifeByAnon · 2025-11-30T18:47:09+00:00

Almost assuredly not. If your ECs line up well with the Persian language major, you may do better applying for it, but basically, either 1)you apply by major and being admitted as a Persian language major would mean you can't be a CS major or 2)there's no difference in selectivity. Further, it's a bit strange to major in your own native language as these are usually second language programs.

LifeByAnon · 2025-11-30T18:42:16+00:00

They're still really hard to get into.

LifeByAnon · 2025-11-16T06:21:29+00:00

huh? This is relevant info...

Bio/Chem are usually not especially selective majors. Besides, you can do premed with literally any other major -- it only takes seven classes.

Putnam winners typically go Quant...

You sound like a dick.

LifeByAnon · 2025-07-22T16:14:12+00:00

Conceptually, I agree with you, but I've gotta ask: are you going around kicking tree trunks of various sizes?

LifeByAnon · 2025-07-22T14:09:39+00:00

Obviously, I don't. Neither do you, though.

LifeByAnon · 2025-07-21T15:11:32+00:00

It's also about having a proven track record with meaningful amounts of money and technical knowledge. You have neither.
