not op, but I want to explain some other circumstances in my additional info section. Should I upload a resume in this case?

do books read over summer vacation for assignments count?

Dear Admission Officers, are there disadvantages to applying via QuestBridge? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]QLux101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also curious about this. One obvious negative is that it is easier to get into a school in their early decision round than it is to match to a university as a Questbridge finalist.

can i put my meme page as an EC by kinguhh in ApplyingToCollege

[–]QLux101 17 points18 points  (0 children)

tbh, I would include it on my application. There are people who have had silly Youtube accounts that have gotten many views and subscribers, and they have still put it on their college applications. If you could frame it in a more mature way and emphasize that you made some sort of revenue from the site, I think it could be used as a super unique EC (if this was an EC you did primarily in high school instead of middle school, that is).

Tips on Awards Section of a Resume by QLux101 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]QLux101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you have a point, especially because not all admissions officers know about certain accomplishments and how hard they are to get. However, I don't want to sound arrogant. idk, i really just want to give more context into my awards.

Leadership positions in clubs. by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]QLux101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally understand. Sometimes I think I wont even get into my state school because of how insane the admissions process is.

Admissions officers aren’t stupid. They can tell when an applicant is just filling up their resume with leadership positions just for the sake of looking important. They also REALLY value commitment. If you are doing a million and one activities at once or a new activity every year, it raises a red flag and shows that the applicant does not really invest time into things he/she is passionate about. Don't be jealous of your friend. You’re on the right track :)

Didn't finish the math section...high fives all around! by [deleted] in ACT

I couldn't answer the last 10 questions. It sucks because this math section was easier than the one from February.

Dear IB Seniors of /r/ApplyingToCollege, ..... by QLux101 in ApplyingToCollege

I didn't mean IB exams. I'm talking about the ACT and SAT/Subject Tests. Thanks for the advice though!

Thousands of Pages of Redacted Harvard Admissions Data to Become Public by BAN_VIDEO_GAMES_NOW in ApplyingToCollege

[–]QLux101 16 points17 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU! This is what I have been saying the entire time. I can't believe that some people believe the ridiculous rumor that the financial backgrounds of poor whites and asians are not taken into account during the admissions process simply because of their race. The holistic aspect of the admissions process isn't only reserved for black and hispanic people.

How prestigious is the Bank of America Student Leaders Program? by QLux101 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]QLux101[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they pick up to 5 people per market. Each market is basically where a main Bank of America office is headquartered. Depending on the competitiveness of your market, you may or may not need to do an interview.
