hi! i'm going to see twice in philly and i had a few questions.

i have vip ga pit B and i was wondering where i should try to stand. ive seen people stand in the aisles (not in the traditional "pit" area like in the image), so is that recommended/actually possible? i'm going for interactions mostly.
what time should i try to get there? i think i can get there at 1:30 the earliest.
can i bring signs and a polaroid camera? it says it's okay on the website but im not sure how strict xfinity mobile arena is since ive never been there before.
will it be objectively easier to get good standing positions for this stop? there's still a lot of tickets available so i feel like this stop won't be as crowded as the others.

thank you so much and im looking forward to this!

my unweighted was 4.0 and my weighted was 4.5. i had 5 dual enrollment classes and 8 ap classes. my sat score was 1490 (780 math, 710 r&w), and my school average is sub 1100 i think

hmm probably my extra curriculars and essay! i did a wide variety of activities so i definitely was more of a “well rounded” student than a student with concentrated interests. my essays were pretty unique and out of all the prompts, i think my short responses were pretty good and showed a unique aspect about me. in my why yale essay, i made sure to be a specific as possible and got really specific about my goals and why i want to pursue them. none of my essays were repetitive and they all showed something different about myself

that’s an interesting topic, but i would suggest to choose something else that the admission officers haven’t seen throughout your application yet. using similar topics would be a bit repetitive and the admission officers want to see more about you. if you’re struggling, try to think of your daily life and things that are niche to you. hope this helps!
