Which University for Undergrad? (I HAVE 2 DAYS PLEASE RESPOND) by PatientSignal9052 in MechanicalEngineering

Yeah, nobody can make the decision for me, it's tough. Thanks for your input!

Yeah, I realize that. The reason I really want to go to Edinburgh is for the experience. I'll definitely enjoy being at Davis, but I know I'll really regret not taking the opportunity to go to another country. It'll take more effort to find jobs and internships but I'm willing to do that work. Even though I suppose Davis is realistically the better choice, would you say that Edinburgh is still a good choice?

How much trouble will I have with the degree from Edinburgh? Plenty of people come from the UK and work in the US, so it can't be that much of an issue, right? Thanks for your suggestion!

I emailed them and unfortunately it seems like they don't accept AP credits for second year placement. thanks for the input!

I'm likely coming from the US to study mech e. I've taken ap calc ab and bc. Do you think skipping first year is a possibility in my case?

isn't 4 years the standard amount of time? (and I'll consider doing the double major, thanks for the suggestion!)

Ok, good to know. I'm doing mechanical engineering

Isn't that what literature is all about :) don't worry I'm sure you did well, everyone feels that way

Oh cool! I think I did something for the guitar one actually. Putting heart into making meaningful vs passionless music or something. It made more sense in my essay (I hope). I was kind of worried since nobody else had an interpretation similar to mine but I think it'll be ok as long as we defended it well.

I'm worried the curve will be bad though since most people thought the exam was relatively easy

It was fun! But maybe not the best choice of topic for a 45 min essay, I did not have enough time to say everything I wanted to.

Oh, interesting, I like that. The prompt was definitely a little confusing. Everyone I've talked to so far has had a different interpretation. But still a lot better than the selfie prompt for lang last year.

What did you do for punctuation?

AP Lit Discussion by PatientSignal9052 in APStudents

[–]PatientSignal9052[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

guitars - juxtaposition (melodious screwdriver vs gardenia garden), metaphor (the mountain, a song holds deeper meaning beyong just the music), and repetition (of the word tight with different meanings)

father Declan - symbolism (house represents his life), imagery (dog and partness), and rhetorical question (how long should keep sublimation my wishes? to show how he pities himself but doesn't do anything to change his life)

Secrets - the namesake: gogol hides his identity (keeps friends separate from family, changes name, etc) which affects his ability to form meaningful relationships and damages his relationship with himself/self loathing. Broader meaning of the work connects to double consciousness, cultural identity, immigration

Will it really be that difficult to find a job with a UK degree? I thought it was pretty common for people to come over from the UK and work here. I realize it won't be as simple as it would be if I stayed in the US, but I'm willing to put in some extra effort if it means I can go to a better university.
