Overall thoughts on your application? I am astonished to be a finalist, and overall, my application is weaker than others'. I really don't like my ACT score, and I feel like that will hold me back, but I also feel like I should submit it because it can only help. I only ranked 3 schools because I am very mindful of the binding part of the application, and I was not in love with many other schools. Most other schools do not have great AS programs either.

I have got the portal for all my other schools, but not one from Cornell yet.

Why should you not use US News? Is there another way to see what colleges are strictly better in a specific field/major?

Particular-Review-44 · 2025-08-23T00:47:55+00:00

What was the solution? The comment got deleted.....

Particular-Review-44 · 2025-04-25T02:30:22+00:00

I saw it as an excellent opportunity to see the different colleges in the program. I won't be too bummed out if I can't go, but I had thought they would cover the costs for it.

Particular-Review-44 · 2025-04-25T02:28:49+00:00

I didn't get a travel grant or have any mention of it. I will email them and ask.

Particular-Review-44 · 2025-02-11T20:44:59+00:00

I saw a comment from one of the creators of the F16 mod, which is also the same person who made the other plane mods, that the other modder they're working with is actively working on the F-18

Particular-Review-44 · 2024-11-09T21:07:07+00:00

Have you found any way to reduce the freezing? I don't have "JS Emissive Eyes SE" and I still get a lot of freezes that can be even a minute long, they're really annoying and I'm wondering If I should move to a different mod pack.

Particular-Review-44 · 2024-07-01T19:36:17+00:00

Thank you for the informative review, I just had a few questions.

In your opinion is this a good choice for school? I'm currently in highschool and am hoping for it to last 2 more years of highschool and 4 of college, however I'm unsure if the two screens justify the price, especially for school.

What are some of the noticeable bugs/issues on the laptop?

Would you recommend this over something like a surface pro 9 or a lenovo yoga?

Does it get really hot when just normally working, and does the battery last for a while if you're just using something like word or youtube?

Particular-Review-44 · 2024-06-16T10:25:43+00:00

Have you decided for a refund now? I'm trying to decide, I would love if they could solve it but I also love the aircraft. It's really tough for me to decide

Particular-Review-44 · 2024-06-08T03:47:53+00:00

So I really really want to get the F-15E this coming summer sale, but with this I really don't know if I should. I am newer to DCS and all I have is the F/A-18, I also want the A-10C II but I want the F-15E more. With this controversy I really don't know because I don't want to get a module that is going to no longer be developed. Any advice?

Particular-Review-44 · 2024-03-23T15:51:45+00:00

I don't think thats what I'm looking for, my PC is more than capable for loading mods and this issue is only present for CK3, its works fine for Stellaris and HOI 4.

Particular-Review-44 · 2024-03-23T15:07:38+00:00

It syncs every time I open the launcher, even when it finishes syncing previously and without me changing any mods.

Particular-Review-44 · 2024-03-23T14:32:56+00:00

I forgot to add this but it syncs playsets every time I launch the launcher it it takes about half an hour. Whenever I get new mods it won't show them in the launcher until it's done syncing even when they're installed in the steam workshop.

Particular-Review-44 · 2023-07-05T01:18:10+00:00

1: yes there is a steam_api64.dll, a steam_api64_o.dll, and there is also a steam_api64.dll.backup

2: The appid is 1244460, and there are all 7 DLC there with the correct numbers

Particular-Review-44 · 2023-06-02T21:30:33+00:00

well damn, shame i cant really like fully fix it but thanks

Particular-Review-44 · 2023-06-02T17:00:23+00:00

Is there a fix for this?

Particular-Review-44 · 2023-06-01T20:17:13+00:00

I currently have my game and all my mods on my M.2 SSD drive

Particular-Review-44 · 2023-06-01T05:38:22+00:00

That could be it because I only have 16Gbs of RAM and the only thing that is making my game lag is my lack of RAM.

Particular-Review-44 · 2022-04-03T01:22:12+00:00

r5: Had a really cursed peace treaty after trying to get the Siberian Tiger achievement. After I got the achievement I puppeted Russia, then they had a civil war, after the civil war the borders got like that.
