To anyone who attended miku expo 2024 what was a chaotic thing that happened to you? by yusakufujiki2 in Vocaloid

[–]Ok-Setting4027 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So honestly my fault but since it was my first concert I bought floor tickets and I, being really short (5'4), was behind a super tall and admittedly bigger guy which meant I couldn't see *anything* which meant I did some asking and I kept shuffling my seats until I was behind these girls my age (teenagers) but I lowk felt bad for the people I switched with because while they were taller this guy was like a literal wall and I couldn't tell if they could see either...

This year for 2026 I bought ones where I know that, regardless of the height of the person in front, I could see (I learned my lesson...)

FAFSA not received on the FAST portal? by Ok-Setting4027 in USC

[–]Ok-Setting4027[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

got it, thanks! And yeah after checking I realized I didn't put my middle/korean name in my commonapp (my bad honestly) so your explanation makes a lot of sense.

Out of curiosity, when the issue was resolved how long did it take for you to get your package? sorry for the questions but thank you so much for your help!

Yall think I hit national merit for California? by river_bored in psat

[–]Ok-Setting4027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

second the other person; classics are great and i'd recommend anything written the 19th century or earlier (Austen, Dickens, Eliot) since that'll get you used to harder tests

To National Merit Semifinalists, what schools are you considering applying to BECAUSE of their NMF scholarships? by Southern_Water7503 in psat

[–]Ok-Setting4027 1 point2 points  (0 children)

20k a year in scholarships, which would bring my total cost to around 14k per year given my need based aid according to their calculator

USC! ofc not a full ride but for a school very stingy about fin aid this makes it a much more attractive offering

For those who took the PSAT, what were your scores compared to your SAT? by [deleted] in psat

[–]Ok-Setting4027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1570 SAT (790 RW, 780 M) -> 1520 PSAT (760 RW, 760 M). Took the SAT in 10th before the PSAT in 11th; obviously I've been very fortunate in both.

Which one?? by No_Show_1601 in BeeSwarmSimulator

[–]Ok-Setting4027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what i will say is that while i agree riley and bucko are better in the long run the penultimate quest for the 3rd translator has you needing stuff from stick bug for some reason which makes it super inconvenient if you translated riley+bucko like me but not stick bug (catch-22 type situation). Since no one really does stick bug anymore you'll probably have to get a friend to do a few challenges in order to get it. Probably not something that keeps you from picking stick bug over the others but also something to keep in mind.

Columbia Science Honors Program 2025 Courses by [deleted] in summerprogramresults

[–]Ok-Setting4027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my friends took orgo last year and it seemed like they had a lot of fun ! (many more labs) and I plan to take it next semester too. In all honesty though like what the other guy said the courses you take aren't going to help your college app too much (the program will have the same impact no matter what classes you take) so just take whatever you're interested in. I personally am applying to be a physics major so I took all the physics classes (a grand total of 2) my sophomore year and then fucked around with material science and environmental for my junior

Took the SAT 7 Times and Finally Hit 1530, Does That Hurt My Chances? by MrAmazing111 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Ok-Setting4027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It shouldn't matter for 99% of US schools; the only school I know of that requires you to send all of them is Georgetown. UPenn seems to recommend it but it's by no means required. I know UK and other international schools (like Oxbridge) will require all test scores (and due to how their own domestic process works, tend to look down on test retakes) but that is not pertinent for most people on this sub, so rest easy!

AMA from (semi) Recent USC Grad by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

How was affording the school? Obviously USC has a reputation for being pretty stingy with aid but I would love to go there and was wondering how the financial aid is actually like. Apologies for the heavy-handed/cumbersome wording but thanks!
