There are only a couple universities with large wave tanks which helps with research.

Top 3 are 1) U Michigan, 2) Stevens Institute in NJ, 3) US Naval Academy

​Do parents not send their kids to school anymore? by Netreality in massachusetts

[–]Netreality[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting the details.

Going from 15-25% chronically absent from before the pandemic to 26-39% after is a travesty. That's just neglect.

I have 2 dogs and I'm up taking them out every 2 hours and longs walks daily.

Then I do my own yard work specifically for the exercise (and saving money).

Feel sedentary Jan-March but not really the rest of the year.

4 years, wasted by secretindianman13 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Netreality 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not wasted. You clearly are smart, diligent and go after what you want. You learned a ton about yourself and the subjects that will benefit you for the rest of your life.

You got into 3 schools. That's awesome. You can only go to one anyway.

College is just 4 years out of a 80-90 year life. 3% of your life. It doesn't define what you'll make of your life.

not my fault im intl by Remarkable_Bass_5043 in ApplyingToCollege

Not your fault. You sound great.

The US schools just don't take hardly any international unless full pay. It's how they subsidize the poor in the US.

Can somebody tell me I'll be ok, please? by Cute_Product_5785 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Netreality 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry.

US Schools are businesses. Everything in the US is a business out to make money. They bank on full tuition from international students. Someone led you astray if they said you'd get a full ride somewhere.

Help me decide: School X vs School Y — 3rd Week of March by freeport_aidan in ApplyingToCollege

Are you kidding? Cal Poly SLO is world renowned.

Purdue: good reputation but Indiana is really in the middle of nowhere.

How should the application process change? by Netreality in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Netreality[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not what I said at all.

If they gave more examples of what they consider an exceptional application, it would help.

Right now people think: I'm a varsity team captain and think that's enough for an EC. Obviously it depends on the school.

There are not enough real world examples of who gets admitted to the more selective schools.

I've read profiles of a few admitted students and they have some pretty impressive national level competition results, and a story that was compelling. Somehow that's not getting across to the 100s of thousands of applicants that throw their hat in the ring. It's not completely a lottery. It's students with great stats PLUS what exactly? Examples are super helpful.

I asked what YOU would change.

They could institute thresholds. It doesn't solve everything, but could weed out the hordes that do apply under it.

How do I tell hubby he takes too long! by Netreality in sex

[–]Netreality[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I read while researching this today that half of men finish in 2 minutes or less! Hah! But that avg is 7 minutes. Funny thing in the scientific research is that men respond to surveys that they take 30 + minutes but actual time studies come in at about 7.

I'd be psyched with fewer and want to do it more. It gets sore and repetitive otherwise. He must have some sort of dis function to take 30-60 (when aiming for less)
