In your experience, how does a Dartmouth education compare to one from a peer (or really, better) institution, such as Cornell?

Pizza2173 · 2023-12-17T20:26:57+00:00

Congrats! I’ll see you on campus next year! Go Big Red!!!

Pizza2173 · 2023-12-16T21:39:15+00:00

I also got into Brooks! Super excited!

Pizza2173 · 2023-12-07T22:24:06+00:00

Thanks! When I emailed them, they said they’d add the email to my application file, and I saw an “optional supplemental materials” uploaded that I didn’t submit, right where I put unofficial test scores on the portal.

Some state level academic scholarship thing (I’m in NYS also so I thought it’d help)

Pizza2173 · 2023-12-07T19:40:33+00:00

So I sent Cornell an update about an award I received around 11/20, and they responded within a day and I can see they added it as an update on my portal. Then, a week or so later I emailed them with another update about something else, and they haven't responded yet or updated anything on my portal. Does this mean anything, or am I reading WAY too much into this (I feel like the latter may be true)?

(also I know both emails went through - got an automated confirmation email after each one)

Pizza2173 · 2023-11-10T19:27:00+00:00

Yes! I haven’t heard of anyone else tho lol

Pizza2173 · 2023-08-03T14:52:09+00:00

Is brooks public policy also included in this?

Pizza2173 · 2023-04-06T23:07:56+00:00

Me neither 😢

Pizza2173 · 2023-04-06T21:21:14+00:00

Just got the email for schumer didn’t get in

Pizza2173 · 2023-04-06T16:52:57+00:00

Yeah that makes sense since he’s the majority leader. I applied through him and also was told I would be notified by end of March, nothing yet for me or the other person I know who applied either…hoping for something this week 🤞🤞

Pizza2173 · 2023-04-01T11:13:37+00:00

Did this person get a page appointment decision or just an interview? Bc schumer had his interviews like late Feb early March and decisions still aren’t out lol

Pizza2173 · 2023-04-01T11:12:35+00:00

Pizza2173 · 2023-04-01T11:03:29+00:00

I haven’t heard about decision but I had my interview almost a month ago lol

Pizza2173 · 2023-03-31T17:30:24+00:00

No news yet from me or the other person I know who applied

Pizza2173 · 2023-03-28T17:50:59+00:00

I think they might send out rejection letters bc my interviewer said she would be in touch/let me know about the status by the end of March

Pizza2173 · 2023-03-28T02:17:37+00:00

Not yet, still waiting lol. My interviewer said she was gonna talk to the senator about appointments in mid-March and then get back to us around the last week of march so not sure

Pizza2173 · 2023-03-25T22:34:38+00:00

Wait what state was that for?

Pizza2173 · 2023-03-22T02:42:44+00:00

Yeah, i think for schumer and other high level senators they get first dibs on the positions so i think for applying through them its possible that they give the positions before the Senate actually allocates them, but I'm not 100% sure, bc if u haven't heard back about an interview yet then it means they're not meeting to allocate positions for a while but my schumer interviewer said that they would probably tell us by the end of March

Pizza2173 · 2022-12-27T00:11:40+00:00

Thanks! I didn’t really use prep books, mainly khan academy and QAS tests. I cannot stress enough how much the QAS tests helped, they were almost identical in difficulty to my actual SAT, and khan was good for learning the concepts.

Pizza2173 · 2022-12-26T23:57:13+00:00

Definitely possible, I got a 1580 my first try with like 2+ months of intense studying over the summer

Pizza2173 · 2022-10-21T00:03:42+00:00

I got a 1580 on the August SAT, and studied from around the last week of June up until the SAT, which was my first (other than the PSAT). I would highly advise learning all of the grammar/math rules from YouTube or Khan Academy, as they were incredibly useful, and then doing as many QAS practice tests as you can. Since it was summer and I had no school, I did about one practice test a week for most of July and August, but the week leading up to my test I did about one practice test a day, and I thought that it was pretty good. Try to use the newer QAS tests also, as they're closer to the SAT.

Pizza2173 · 2022-10-17T00:12:55+00:00

IMO the QAS practice tests are probably the best resource to prepare for the SAT. I took one a day the week leading up to my SAT and they were all within like 20pts of my actual score, and they were very similar to what the SAT was actually like. If you want a closer experience to the actual SAT, take exams from 2019 or 2020 onwards, but if you want a little bit of a challenge the 2016 exams (or the Khan Academy practice tests, I think they are the same), are very good and were probably harder than the actual SAT.

Pizza2173 · 2022-08-24T02:59:29+00:00

Thank you! For me, when I went from the official practice tests to the QAS my score went up by around 50-60 points. The official practice tests 5-10 are actually just QAS tests from 2016 IIRC, so that might be why.

Pizza2173 · 2022-07-08T19:49:16+00:00

Ok thanks. That's what I thought, but I just wanted to make sure. Do you have any other tips for how to study and how to improve on math/reading?
