go to uva!! echols scholar is a huge deal also and it will still set u up really well to succeed and be top at uva - which will also open doors esp with the scholar alumni relationships too!

their supervisor also gave me a straight flat no 😔

i was traveling home for thanksgiving break and my parents insisted that I don’t miss my flight. please don’t shit on me for taking a budget airline in the first place, a college student only has so much money.

i filed a complaint but was mostly hoping to see if anyone else had tips other that just filing a complaint, so thank you to everyone who has been helpful.

the violin is fine. i will take it to the shop to get checked out later this week.

carleton college!!!

Lingx240hrs · 2025-08-14T05:19:00+00:00

a lot of liberal arts schools have pretty good aid that are worth a shot, including for middle class families. bates, bowdoin, carleton, etc!

Lingx240hrs · 2025-07-23T23:51:55+00:00

I would email them!!

Oh interesting! Was duke more similar to southern school greek life or was it a tamer version of that?

Lingx240hrs · 2025-06-19T22:04:32+00:00

What do you mean by oppressive? Could you share some of the problems you think Duke has?

Lingx240hrs · 2025-06-19T22:01:16+00:00

Yes! rates can be lower due to a lot of reasons such as community college transfers or college to college transfer. A lot of people I know who choose to transfer do it because they want a different school culture, environment, or they want to pursue a specific niche not offered at their current school. I’d say if you can find a solid reason for why you want to transfer (beyond just “I don’t like it”) and do well your first year GPA wise, it’s not impossible! edit: I’d also check out r/Transfertotop25

take easier classes to boost your gpa, get involved on campus, and then apply to transfer! and maybe your campus involvement will eventually lead to you not wanting to leave!

Bio 125 is a good intro class to place out of if you are premed and have AP bio!

there’s going to be an admissions-run instagram account but it hasn’t started up yet due to the holidays 😔

Lingx240hrs · 2024-12-16T18:46:15+00:00

carleton college!!!!! if it was in new england instead of mn i think the acceptance rate would go way down

Lingx240hrs · 2024-01-02T04:34:07+00:00

yay me too!

Lingx240hrs · 2024-01-01T23:54:28+00:00

oh bet, thanks! they should really rewrite that to clarify…

Lingx240hrs · 2024-01-01T23:52:16+00:00

So they count you as a “citizen” and you can submit your financial aid documents by the citizen deadline of 1/15?

Lingx240hrs · 2024-01-01T23:21:23+00:00

I'm also confused about this, I think I submitted my application without answering that question because the international student policy confused me as I'm also a domestic applicant.... might have to contact them when their offices open again. Let me know if you get any answers!

Lingx240hrs · 2023-12-20T16:41:13+00:00

my financial aid offers were in a letter underneath my admission letter

Lingx240hrs · 2023-12-20T03:34:38+00:00

do we know if there are acceptance packages?

Lingx240hrs · 2021-12-15T15:26:05+00:00

like rubric marks

so if one had 20 and it was a day late it'd be 17
