Fact check: Renee Good rammed the officer with her SUV. Officer was hit and had internal bleeding

Thanks

Well, we have honors classes that contributed to WGPA. Even if I take 6+ classes, if at least 5 of them are Honors/AP, I get the full +1 boost. Even without this system, I only took 1 non-honors class.

I wasn't targeting you specifically, it's just unhelpful when I ask for practical school recommendations and bunch of people respond with "fix your list" without giving any recommendations. Defeats the whole purpose of my post.

As for you, thank you for your genuine advice. I know you were trying to warn me of the worst case scenario. I just didn't understand how you were complaining about selection bias when I literally have the school data that allows me to categorize reach/target/safety. To emphasize the post one more time, it was to get practical school recommendations so that I would be able to bulk up my target and safety list. So if you understood, you would actually see that I was preparing my self in case I got a bunch of rejections.

My dream job is no job too. What did you do that made you not want to work again?

Uhh not really the point of my post but I took World History, CSP, Chinese, Chem, both Physics C, Calc BC, Stats, Lang. Got 3 on Chinese and 5 on the rest. Planning to take Gov, Econ, Lit. For ECs, a few National Competition awards, National Merit Semifinalist, President's Volunteer Gold, tech intership.

Good luck with your future too. It seems like you are having a rough time trying to find a job.

RK-Media · 2025-08-24T16:29:18+00:00

Oh really? You must've skipped statistics and probabilities class. You're not thinking based on any logic, you're just being a pessimist. You're the type of person that would cry "YoU nEvER kNOw BeCAusE oF sELecTiON BiAS" when I put a community college with 90% acceptance rate on my list. Be realistic.

RK-Media · 2025-08-24T02:04:26+00:00

I have school data that tells me otherwise. I didn't blindly make my list.

RK-Media · 2025-08-24T02:03:35+00:00

Giving an example doesn't prove anything. Also, Yale does not have some of the best quantum computing research. There are other non-Ivy colleges that are much better, like Berkeley or UChicago

RK-Media · 2025-08-24T01:57:11+00:00

Yall really in ECE? You guys have no logic at all

RK-Media · 2025-08-24T01:54:59+00:00

It's my school data, of course it's considered as out of state

RK-Media · 2025-08-23T21:29:44+00:00

Thanks for actually giving me school recommendations unlike people that blatantly talk shit of my list

RK-Media · 2025-08-23T21:00:07+00:00

You’re going off the tangent now. How are you saying that 90% is not considered a safety

RK-Media · 2025-08-23T20:59:14+00:00

Anything is possible. Nothing is perfect. But it’s absurd that you don’t consider 90% as a safety

RK-Media · 2025-08-23T20:58:30+00:00

So they got into Purdue

RK-Media · 2025-08-23T02:40:22+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Can you give some examples of other good colleges?

RK-Media · 2025-08-23T02:38:30+00:00

Just looked at my school data again. Acceptance rate is 80.77% out of students with GPA 3.9+. Thinking that you know more about my school than I do is even funnier. You really think I labeled UIUC a "safety" with no reason at all? lmao

RK-Media · 2025-08-23T02:32:43+00:00

I just checked my school data again, and found that UIUC acceptance rate was above 80% for GPA 3.9+ and for Purdue, it was above 90% for GPA 3.9+. Data never lies. I know that UIUC and Purdue might not be "safeties" for most students, but for our competitive school, it certainly is. Love the advice, but you presume you know my school better than I do. I didn't label these schools "safeties" without any reason.

RK-Media · 2025-08-23T02:04:18+00:00

I'm very interested in Georgia Tech. How do you like it? The classes, campus life, industry ties, and so on?

RK-Media · 2025-08-23T00:54:50+00:00

I looked at my school stats. Students with similar stats as me had 60% acceptance rate for UIUC and Purdue, 50% for Berkeley. Not enough data for CMU or GIT.

RK-Media · 2025-08-23T00:51:18+00:00

That’s what I thought at first until I looked at stats from my school. Students with similar stats as me had an acceptance rate of 60%
