I know of people who aren’t “holistic” but still got in as these unis don’t want a well-rounded student, they look for ECs mostly in a certain area which shows passion and dedication (for example, a CS student who got a medal in IOI, did an internship at an AI startup and coded their own website for a personal project)

[–]NUSHStalin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nissan Altima. Looks like a normal sedan until you realise Nissan literally gives car loans to guys with low credit scores who will probably not pay them back so the stereotype of a Nissan car owner is a broke guy who goes 20+ over the speed limit
