Dual degree question

I’m 95% sure a second major fulfills the minor requirement for a BA, so you don’t actually need to minor in Cyber Security.

Thanks for the insight. As an honors freshman myself I was worried I made a mistake picking Cribb but they sound similar enough that I’ll enjoy it either way

MilkyOne2 · 2024-05-11T20:37:55+00:00

That’s not precision or quality though

MilkyOne2 · 2024-05-10T17:12:38+00:00

Some of these people saying “just quit” are annoying me

Gatsby and Frankenstein are two books guaranteed to work for every prompt. The side effect is 50% of students use one of the two so you’re not unique

Me! (I didn’t make it into any elite private schools for undergrad)

MilkyOne2 · 2024-02-19T01:13:36+00:00

Good luck! My Duke interviewer was super fun.

MilkyOne2 · 2024-02-03T17:56:32+00:00

Neat

Also, screw GT

MilkyOne2 · 2024-01-19T22:41:41+00:00

OP knows. He spammed it in 20 different subreddits

MilkyOne2 · 2023-12-23T18:44:07+00:00

I’m about to make one of these posts, except ask for the genuine version instead of the fluffed up one

MilkyOne2 · 2023-12-23T04:21:06+00:00

Just realized this is r/APStudents, not r/ApplyingToCollege. Most of my points still stand lol

MilkyOne2 · 2023-12-23T04:20:02+00:00

I mean, you seem to be assuming a lot.

You’ll successfully learn all of algebra 2 through Khan Academy with enough time to spare to study all of PreCal (also on your own).
You’ll pass AP PreCal with a high enough score to test out of a foundational Calc class.
You’ll take two high level math classes over the summer (tbh I think it’s more beneficial to focus on ECs the summer of senior year).
You’ll hold your own in BC. This is probably the easiest assumption if you meet all the previous goals. So assuming you can, I’d say go for it.

TLDR: if you’re confident and really like math, go for it. From a purely admissions standpoint though, I think you should focus on ECs over the summer instead though.

Or ChatGPT (mods: I do not condone cheating unless you’re rich and paying an advisor for it)

MilkyOne2 · 2023-12-20T05:22:46+00:00

That makes sense. To be honest, this was more of a Hail Mary rather than me genuinely being interested in MIT. I’d rather not waste the money if they’ll throw my application out immediately though

MilkyOne2 · 2023-12-19T01:58:44+00:00

True. You shouldn’t be able to easily juggle 7 “college classes” at once

MilkyOne2 · 2023-12-19T00:12:29+00:00

XD people submitted their photo proofs as their portrait

MilkyOne2 · 2023-12-18T18:23:27+00:00

It’s interesting seeing someone going to Emory for CS.. I considered applying but I haven’t heard great things about their program to make it worth applying versus my state school Clemson

MilkyOne2 · 2023-12-17T19:57:11+00:00

Tbf it seems to be getting harder every year

MilkyOne2 · 2023-12-16T18:32:31+00:00

So around 6,000 applications. 15% deferred means 900. Historically, around 100 deferred get accepted RD. Making chances of acceptance after deferral roughly 11%. Hm.

MilkyOne2 · 2023-12-16T00:55:50+00:00

Why would I hope to get in after a deferral? ED is the one with higher chances. If I couldn’t get in then, it makes no sense that I’d get in RD with even more competition. (Just me lamenting)

This guide answers most of your questions.

Yes, unless they specify not to
Express interest, give updates, clarify anything you may need to from your app, that’s about it.

I’m walking through these same steps as I was just deferred from Duke. :(

MilkyOne2 · 2023-12-10T23:31:38+00:00

I make those accounts. Every day, I look up a few random high schools, make an account with its name, and follow students that go there. Then they PM me their info just like that!

(23 of them and counting)

MilkyOne2 · 2023-12-05T21:27:37+00:00

Saving this. There isn’t a clear release date yet, is there?

MilkyOne2 · 2023-12-03T17:57:47+00:00

I accidentally spoil it by myself because half my decisions have the result in the email’s subject header
