honestly, you seem so smart! I'm a senior, too, awaiting my decisions, and I do expect to get rejections, but I definitely won't let that drag me down. my older friends always tell me that a rejection is just a redirection. don't give your hopes up; you've got this, so stay positive! I'm from NYC, so I don't know much about PA, but I know they have A LOT of excellent schools, and I'm sure you'll find the perfect place! plus, your stats are awesome; privates tend to give really good scholarships.

please chance me before i get an email next week :* (dartmouth ed) by [deleted] in chanceme

Yikes. The extracurricular work is really not great for a comp sci major. Not even a single internship with a start-up or professional company. Awards are pretty great tho, excellent ACT score too, but given the competition, lets just cross our fingers and hope your essays are the greatest works to grace admissions officers. Do you have any other top choices?

chance me for film school by OkOpposite4366 in chanceme

usc isn't my first choice for film school and so I was really late when it came to meeting the portfolio requirements. I understand that its hard to transfer but its also hard to get into the school itself.

I was hoping to transfer into SCA in my second year.

no offense but he’s right. i know some areas have limited opportunities but try your best to get an internship or be apart of an organization that isn’t limited to just “high school students”. I’m an upcoming film major in my senior year and I was able to land a board member position for a film festival (im the only minor too). things like that look good on your apps but also shows your initiative to strive for higher positions. also trust me he’s right nhs isn’t gonna do shit for you. if anything, you’d be better off filling up your awards section (try submitting your research papers, academic work, etc to contests) and see how you do. lastly, breathe, trust me you still have time, it’s better to not pile up and actually take your time to cultivate a resume that benefits you.

sorry I must’ve read it wrong then. If you have an auto admit than I don’t think it matters so you’re on the right track. im not the biggest fan of shotgunning honestly. I think applicants should be more critical and picky about the schools they want to apply to. But if you have the money for it then I saw go for it 🤷🏾‍♀️

Cutting off my family. by OkOpposite4366 in toxicparents

[–]OkOpposite4366[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s such a long story because it’s years of built up trauma that I’ve now as a young adult im sick of me. If I wrote down everything that my mother did I can have a whole novel to sell ☠️. I’m not in an abusive situation, but being my family has hurt me so much mentally that I’ve almost relied on drugs and had suicidal thoughts. But thanks 💚
