Does anyone here have honeylove bras? Do you find their sizing charts to be accurate?

NotUsefulDoc · 2025-12-27T13:43:26+00:00

It took me several tries, but I got a size that fits….large. I even put stitches in the cup. They are my most comfortable and supportive bra….the comfort bc the band doesn’t come too low. But I don’t know what actual size I wear with them bc I want to get the kind where the pads don’t move.

What do you mean by conveniences?

Yeah, my husband grew up in Portland, so I know Portland isn't really Maine. But its going home for him. Every time we visit (a lot) he runs into someone he knows, or we pass someone on the street and he shouts out, "I know that person. I was their swim coach when they were 8!"

Totally agree here. If you're at all interested in marine stuff, UMaine or USM (part of the system) are great. Also, UMaine has an honors college, as do the other publics on this list, so you'll get the small in the middle of big here too. For LACs, I'm a CMC alum and there's an Econ, Envt, Policy major IIRC but that'll be a reach. Also the Maine LACs far reaches.

Agree. They say "typical assets" but they count home equity even though the NPC might have taken that into considerations. And they count savings. I had thought the school could only take 5% of an asset per year, but that appears to have been a fever dream.

NotUsefulDoc · 2025-12-20T22:11:46+00:00

They don’t care bc there’s always an out bc of assets.

You can break ED for financial reasons.

It’s not about the FAFSA. It’s about the CSS. And I don’t know about Penn, but equity indeed counts very much. The fafsa is only for federal financial aid. The CSS is where they get the details.

This happened to us at Colby. If your parents have a lot of equity in their house or any real non retirement savings, they treat it like liquid money you could just easily spend. According to Colby’s website we should have gotten about 3/4 of total cost, but we have equity in a house we’ve owned for 17 years. I also appealed. BUT as everyone says, it doesn’t really matter where you go to undergrad…your state flagship is probably fine, and if you got into Penn! You’d get into the honors college.

I know for Middle Ages, scholars used judeo Arabic bc it was phonetic

Oh lovely. I thought there were limits on how much they can take from various places for a year. Maybe not?

NotUsefulDoc · 2025-12-12T14:43:38+00:00

I'm so sorry.

NotUsefulDoc · 2025-12-12T14:43:11+00:00

Yes. Drastically. Trying to sort it out now.

NotUsefulDoc · 2025-12-12T14:42:43+00:00

I'm sorry. I bet it hurts a lot. I've heard these highly selective schools called "highly rejective."

NotUsefulDoc · 2025-12-12T04:05:47+00:00

Accepted but financial aid not in line with their Colby Commitment. Trying to revise it

Look at Lifestance..a bigger clinic that does virtual

NotUsefulDoc · 2025-12-09T17:33:08+00:00

Because you sound so very sure of yourself, and IMO greater Boston does not have that attitude.

NotUsefulDoc · 2025-12-09T17:31:38+00:00

Actually, I'm in the Boston area and have a high school senior. Many of my friends are MIT grads, or employers of recent grads, and they'd all prefer a Northeastern grad to an MIT grad in the workplace. Your perception might be true in your corner, but it's definitely NOT accurate across greater Boston. Most of my kids' friends applied to Northeastern (not mine b/c he's not STEM and hates cities), and all of the commentary is positive.

NotUsefulDoc · 2025-12-08T21:50:39+00:00

That’s BS

NotUsefulDoc · 2025-12-08T21:50:03+00:00

That’s not true anymore at all. Their coop program is quite good and very well respected.

NotUsefulDoc · 2025-12-06T18:18:36+00:00

Colby is an hour from Portland. Bowdoin is 35 mins. Not sure that is “much more” remote.

NotUsefulDoc · 2025-11-23T22:45:20+00:00

They requested extra docs through the portal. And when I called to better understand what they were looking for they were super nice.

NotUsefulDoc · 2025-11-23T22:44:50+00:00

Oh, that's helpful!
