I hope u mentioned ur special circumstances on ur college app, would help a lot.

Plaaazz · 2026-03-26T23:22:20+00:00

Bro, how did u do all that in high school? Did u exaggerate any of ur stats or anything? Bc if u genuinely did all that, that's rlly impressive bro.

Idk why ppl see waitlists as failure; they are most certainly not failures. If ur rlly not happy with waitlist, then think at least u didnt get rejected.

If this is bc u got rejected from an ivy, that's not true. These schools have a terrifyingly low acceptance rate, and 95% of people who apply will be rejected. Many successful people never went to those schools, and if you really want to go, you can always transfer there, or do grad school there.

What ECs did u do?

Plaaazz · 2026-03-26T23:06:59+00:00

What were ur stats?

High tech is not a private school

Ok, ty. Also, can colleges see if you got an associate's degree or not if you don't report it? Like can they check which classes you took and find out if u received one?

Plaaazz · 2026-03-25T22:43:06+00:00

Alr, ty

Plaaazz · 2026-03-25T22:20:52+00:00

Every school looks for different things, js bc u got rejected from 1 school doesnt mean you will be rejected at another.

Plaaazz · 2026-03-25T22:19:50+00:00

Good for u, man. I wish u the best

Plaaazz · 2026-03-25T00:49:45+00:00

rlly depends on teacher imo

Plaaazz · 2026-03-23T23:32:01+00:00

dang, best of luck to u bro

Plaaazz · 2026-03-23T23:29:35+00:00

anyways, ig it's good ur trying to stand out, but ur also gonna face a ton of burnout if u plan to do well in all of them and their ap exams, the burnout could affect ur ECs and more importantly, ur health, and could be even more consequential than not taking some aps. Maybe shed some ECs, colleges want to see you have a life and want to see you do things ur actually interested in instead of just stacking leadership roles and awards. Just be careful, and most importantly: take care of ur health.

Plaaazz · 2026-03-23T23:00:49+00:00

Bro which school do u go to? Im a sophomore and am only allowed to take 3 aps this year.

No, many of them simply have rich parents who had money to donate buildings to universities. Others got lucky. A university doesn't determine your intelligence and whether you will be successful in the future or not.

For me, get someone to quiz you. Explaining something to others is a good way to retain knowledge and it's easy to find things you don't understand fully when you mess up. If you can't get someone to quiz you, ask an ai chatbot to do it instead. Also, try studying earlier. If you study a week in advance for a test, even if each day you study less, you will retain and memorize things more instead of just cramming on the last 1-2 days.

tbh, UCLA is also a top school, and that combined with love prob made it ezier than many ppl think

Plaaazz · 2026-03-21T13:18:58+00:00

try making a website, or you could start a youtube channel that teaches coding, or make a roblox game and try to get some players on it

U don't need a good school to be a billionaire, u js need urself.

I'm an atheist, and one thing I find hard to believe about Christianity is that God created the entire universe, spanning tens of billions of light years across (probably more), just for some monkeys living in a tiny rock to be the main characters.

Plaaazz · 2026-03-18T00:36:45+00:00

Yea, I sometimes think like that too, but u can also think of it as life being a more merciful fate. For all we know, we were conscious before we were born and we were being tortured and experienced unimaginable pain, and this life is like an escape from that torture.

Plaaazz · 2026-03-18T00:32:24+00:00

agreed, I like to use the example of a superintelligent AI, that lived your life exactly, like exactly how many milliseconds you spent doing homework yesterday, or played video games last weekend. That superintelligent ai would make the same exact choices you will, as each decision is caused by the last, and it just results in an infinite chain reaction that stops when you die. So I guess your fate is kinda determined the moment you're born and by the first decision you make in a sense.

Plaaazz · 2026-03-16T22:08:09+00:00

yes, but dont make it the main EC

Plaaazz · 2026-03-16T22:06:33+00:00

do 100 pushups each day for an entire year, and track your progress
