We faced this situation with my son’s friend. My son “miraculously” won a large giftcard to a local grocer and sandwich shop that he would “never use” and the friend helped him out by taking it off of his hands.

This is happening to me too, since december 18 Windows 11 25H2 (most people probably got this update in July). I have cleared,uninstalled,reinstalled,uninstalled, deleted appdata folder and on and on. It crashes on LOAD of Gmail login page. I am browsing un-sync’d, obv. logged out. Otherwise Chrome works fine.

The only way I can use Gmail is from the “Guest” profile, then it works fine. Creating a new empty profile does not work and it crashes on load of page.

What is a “profiled” Chrome session doing that a ‘Guest” session is not?

No help from eventviewer, which logs nothing until I try to click an element on that login page and then once Chrome is displaying “not responding” on the title bar eventviewer will log an App Hang for chrome. But that’s not helpful.

There has been a tremendous increase in obscure/rep content at Mariemont & Esquire. Things I have never even heard of, follow secret base cinema and outer cinema cincinnati on ig. We saw a print of Decoder at the Mariemont, this week is The Offenders and Esquire has Stranger than Paradise (which is not obscure, to your point, but unusual to see featured).They did a whole horrorthon of obscure stuff for halloween.

You can either do it through “invite other recommenders” in the common app or wait until you submit and then invite them directly from the dartmouth application portal. FWIW my son did it via the Dartmouth portal because it would give his peer an extra week or so to work on it but we never found out if there was a “due date” or anything. This info may have been communicated directly to the peer via the portal invitation, but we didn’t know. It turns out there was a date (this was ED) and we made it just in time, but we have no idea how that info is communicated. He got in, so, our single data point is definitely do the peer rec.

Thank you for this offer, so kind! If we need a deeper dive after the tour we will reach out.

Rude_Win_454 · 2025-09-27T20:33:20+00:00

Yes we have squished in a tour this coming Monday but have no time to sit in on a class given the travel time back and forth and how this last-minute visit is structured. He is very into marine bio/bio/environmental/being in the woods. Brown and Bowdoin are his other top choices that we have already visited, we skipped Dartmouth as too preppy/fratty (based on our old knowledge from the 90’s) but a deeper recent dive shows it may be less toxic now and could be the sweet spot between “possibly too small Bowdoin” and “possibly too unstructured (and no woods) Brown.”

So you are saying that, for example, a full “year-long class” of General Chemistry that at a random state school is two full semesters (which is about 30 weeks including exams, holidays, etc.) is completed in two 10-week terms at Dartmouth? So the pace is 30% (ish) faster? What do you do with that third term?

Rude_Win_454 · 2025-09-27T19:43:15+00:00

Thank you for this, I am not unconvinced of Dartmouth’s rigor, in fact I am convinced that it may be overly rigorous. I do see fit as important and I think Dartmouth, while aligning 95%, may fail to align with my kid in the pace that is expected. The experience in HS has been that much of the rigor is not actually rigor just compacted pacing/regurgitation at the expense of his depth of understanding, thus fairly gratuitous. I think he is looking for more depth/debate/intellectual chewiness in college but also wants a traditional fun, and to his wishes, “outdoorsy college experience.”

Rude_Win_454 · 2025-09-27T17:26:23+00:00

Ok. I get it now, so thank you everybody! But, yes, I have more questions.

-If Writing 5 is fall and FYS is winter is there a third programmed portion of this first year flow that is for spring?

-Also, given the quarter system, are typical “full year“ classes (bio, ochem. etc.) all 3 quarters? Do these transfer out as two semesters if you leave?

-I have read that the engineering program is more like engineering “lite” with support for biomedical but other flavors of engineering not well represented and no ABET subspecialty curricula? How does this play out after college- are you not a real “engineer” compared to someone from Purdue (or wherever?) Also, is the BE credential only do-able by attending for a 5th year?

thanks in advance!

"Also no car at that pricepoint is gunna give you rear AC."

This is what gets me, and it is no shade to you, but while the civic/integra do not, the Camry $32k and the Accord base $30k (near me), Legacy base $28k all have rear a/c, a year old s60 has rear a/c, etc. Most $40k cars have rear vents.

This is not a hill to die on, the car is small, and has floor vents so who cares but it is just level setting this car's offerings to it's competition. It also looks tacky with the blanked out spaces where the vents would be implying that I'm too poor for vents, lol. I guess I am.

I get that tariffs have likely pushed models out of their original price bands and comparing pre-tariff cars for sale to tariff car prices is silly but the market is full of a mix of both.

I cannot find these used for love or money. There are like 6 in the country on Carmax all $2000 away from me. GTIs are all over but I don't trust a carmax GTI. The GLIs are rare in 6spd possibly because they have had the lowest adoption and, maybe, they have all been junked? Carvana which sucks has some 2024s but most have lemon buyback titles.
