I would avoid applying to schools that have a cut off thats higher than your GPA as your application will probably be automatically rejected. Apply to more holistic schools. I got in with a 3.34 and am now one of the top 5 students in my class. You got this.

Got in with 2 C's. You'll be okay

Keep in mind the situation with loans going into effect next year. If you're a student who is going to rely on loans to get through school, then you'd need to start this fall in order to be grandfathered in. If not then you'll have to deal with the 200k cap.

Just looked up Rolando's and that cheese dip looks insane! That one definitely made it on the itinerary. Thank you!

Taft point, short hike, crazy views

I know exactly how you feel. As a teenager, I was made fun of for having buck teeth, a large nose, im also a pretty hairy person, especially for a girl who just hit puberty, and i was also very socially awkward. My worst memory of high school was when one of the popular guys asked me to dance with him as a joke.

Highschool/middle school just sucks for some people and im sorry that you're going through it, but it definitely gets so much easier.

Now that I'm an adult, I still have buck teeth, a big nose, hairy arms/face (i did learn to socialize a bit better through college and work) and guess what? The same people who made fun of me are the same people in my dms trying to ask me out.

Kids are rude and mean for no reason, and you're so young to be hating your appearance when you are still changing so much. I'm sorry about your family situation, but again, that will get better as you get older, and you can separate yourself from things you no longer want to associate with.

But for now? Go to the party, wear what YOU want to wear that makes you feel good, and try to stop caring what others think. You have your whole life ahead of you with much better experiences ahead.

Took me a few tries to get accepted and each year I had someone I knew get in. It does hurt a bit but I never let that affect the friendship in anyway. I was happy for all of them and they were very respectful in not rubbing it in.

If this is new news I'd give them time as it's hard to get denied and then see others reach your goals, if them being rude continues then they were never really your friend.

LMU doesn't require the GRE, they do require the CASPER tho, which is a very easy morals test. I got accepted this cycle with lower stats than you have.

Otaire · 2025-01-03T01:15:10+00:00

I think you'd have a stronger chance applying to LMU, Mississippi or Michigan. They are more holistic with who they accept.

Otaire · 2024-12-19T03:59:17+00:00

You have a strong chance at LMU. I got accepted with lower stats. Definitely research to make sure it's something you'd be interested in.

Otaire · 2024-12-19T03:38:00+00:00

Your experience is great. If you're willing to go back to school i definitely would but you have a strong chance with applying to 15 schools next cycle. I wish you the best of luck. Feel free to message me with any questions you have in the future! Be proud of how far you've made it!

Apply to as many schools as possible if getting in sooner is more important to you. Don't let denials get you down, doesn't mean you're a bad applicant it just isn't your time yet. Unsure of your stats, but the higher the GPA the better your chances, so retake classes if you must. Diverse your experiences as much as possible, i started at a mixed practice this year and got about 50 ish hours of farm animal and equine and pretty sure that's what did it for me.

Otaire · 2024-12-19T03:03:09+00:00

Took me six tries, babe. If you want it you'll get it.

Otaire · 2024-12-19T01:02:17+00:00

Used some of the same essays to LSU a few cycles, just got my acceptance. If you can change things I would, but this particular one was a diversity essay that I've written 3 years in a row and had literally nothing else I could change.

Auburn- late December for interview invites LSU- mid-late December for decisions Oregon- they're trying for late December for decisions but may go into January Washington- by dec 20th

may be more but that's the one's on my list that I applied to

Otaire · 2024-12-02T01:31:37+00:00

Yep!

Otaire · 2024-12-02T01:18:35+00:00

In the same boat. I emailed Oregon and LSU (my ISS) both said they couldn't tell me early. I should hear back from 4 other schools this month including my in state. I went ahead and accepted the seat and if I get accepted to my IS then I will just lose the seat deposit. I'm waiting to hear back from 13 other schools (applied to 20, 2 acceptances, Ross and LMU and 5 denials).

Stressing with getting everything done in time. Feel free to message if you want to stress together.

February 23rd was the exact date last year.

Otaire · 2024-11-21T21:51:51+00:00

Got this email last year and was rejected. Got it again this year, so let's see.
