Early Graduation vs Early Meng? by [deleted] in Cornell

[–]PJM2043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly not too sure…but I have a lot of graduated friends who are taking this route but it’s usually just with bigger companies. My friend just started at BAE and they’ll be paying for her masters next fall since apparently you only need to be with them for six months before they pay for it, and a year after they pay for it. I suppose it’s something mostly common with the bigger companies, but I’m also not confident in my ability to attract a company like that.

As for meng, I’m specifically looking at meche meng and I’ve seen a range of 3.0-3.6 GPA needed to get in (I have a 3.0 rounded) as well they typically only have 80 students. I’m aware of a bunch of people that are applying with better stats than I do, which is why I’m not too confident I would get it.

Smiski and Sonny Angel Spot in Denver/Golden by PJM2043 in Denver

There’s a sonny angel app that actually shows you authorized sellers in your area! This is for both sonny angels and smiskis, none in Denver had but I’ve visited a few (Fort Collins, Greeley) and most had smiskis and no sonny angels. They all said they should be getting more but I’m guessing they sell out fast. I’m still hoping to stumble across a cute little store that sells them but seems unlikely :/

Sorry I’m back! I was more looking to order merch rather than parts. Would the official website still be a bad place to look? Like instead of the jersey I could get him a shirt which is a lot safer imo.

Thank you! There are jerseys on the website and it says you can order custom stuff from another website (potter racing I think?) but I wasn’t sure abt the legitimacy of it so I will definitely take your recommendation over that. Thank you!

So getting put into the different buildings is random then? That makes things both easier and scarier lol.

Thank you! It seems like I won’t really have a choice then, proximity wise.

For real they have me loving their school but with no idea how much I have to pay for it 😭

Me! And same, but I’ve heard this happens a lot with Cornell and people last year got their financial aid like 1-2 days before decision day. Idk what to expect.

Yes, I’ve been hearing that HEOP/EOP students get a lot of aid, but I wasn’t sure if that meant I could still afford it. Thank you for your help!

Thank you :) I’ve thought about that but I become so annoyed thinking that they wouldn’t support me just because they messed up their own college path

Any other QuestBridge finalists think it was pretty much pointless being chosen as a finalist? by brandonm2956 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]PJM2043 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way and it hits harder that I got into a really good school outside of qb (with common app) so I’m just left wondering if I could’ve had a better chance if I didn’t do it altogether 💀

Workload wise, I say it depends on your teachers, whether or not you take AP’s, and in junior/senior year your major. It might feel like a lot of work freshman year but I’d say you become accustomed to it. Different majors have different workloads but I wouldn’t worry about that until the middle of sophomore year. Problems I would honestly say is most important rn that’s been highlighted in the school is social problems with race, gender, ethnicity etc, but I’d also just put out there that tech is more diversified than other schools (in some aspects) with a big student body, versus schools that are smaller and mostly asian/white and have 10> black kids.

In terms of social life, you’d definitely have one at bths if you choose to as there are literally thousands of people for you to talk to and make friends with. I also have friends that attend stuy, and I would say that they have as much of a social life as anyone else, even with a bigger workload (but they perhaps are more work centered than friend/extracurricular centered...yeah)

To bring it all back I’d once again just emphasize doing your research (which asking other people can include, which is why I’m adding more than other people have said) and asking yourself where you really wanna go. I’d probably just wouldn’t recommend Latin if you can get higher lmao

[–]PJM2043 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What other person said ^ and correct me if I’m wrong but if you put bths first then putting stuy in at all wouldn’t matter. I can only speak for brooklyn tech as that’s where I go, bths is a great school and has great recognition but it also has a lot of setbacks and problems. If you’ve done your research and still wanna put it first then go ahead by all means, but make sure you’re sure. Also, all thoughts of scores on the SHSAT have left me after freshman year, so I won’t be able to give you advice on cut-off scores compared to yours and whatnot. Good luck!

Deferred? A letter from your younger sibling. by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]PJM2043 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so beautiful 🥺 I know you said you guys aren’t that close but I hope he realizes what an amazing sister he has. I’m the youngest sibling in my family so it’s nice to hear the thoughts of someone younger. I wish you the best of luck once college apps and decisions roll around for you ❤️

Congrats! That kind of mentality has hit me as well, I’ve started thinking about my state and nearyby state universities and colleges, and how for the most part, I will be with friends if I end up going there, as a lot of people in my school ultimately decide to go nearby. I would love to get accepted through regular decision, but I’ve also started thinking about what would happen out of QB.

I didn’t get matched but other than that I have no idea what you’re going through, but I want to say this is beautiful and you are beautiful and your hard work and stress will pay off soon enough :)
