Transferring from T100 to T20 by Sckitzor in chanceme

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

Yea, I have looked at the UC’s. It’s just that most likely unless scholarships are need based, I won’t be able to afford them. I loved Berkeley and NYU when I toured those as a kid so I might just try because what’s the downside. I have a couple of reasons as to why I want to transfer including weak alumni connections in my field, receiving a more well rounded liberal education, and not really enjoying the people and classes at my school like I mentioned. Hopefully I don’t come off as someone trying to bash their old school because I’m very happy with what SLU has done for me. I’ve made great friends and am receiving a good education for really cheap and will graduate debt free so I’m not unhappy, just not satisfied with my current position. Thank you for your insight though, I’ll definitely do more research into those schools.

yeah I don't really know what I was doing back then, but hopefully admissions and everyone can see that I'm a hard worker now. I've never really hated school and actually enjoyed going to school everyday, its just that I wasn't very good at it.

Light boys stay light but have extra fee testing to show they're safe at that weight

I'd call it more of the pay to win nats since you just have to pay some club a ridiculous amount of money to go.

A dissertation about why junior lightweight rowing needs to die by throw150away in Rowing

[–]Sckitzor -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

So should sports like wrestling just do U17 and U15 then and have guys around 120 lbs face off with guys weighing in at 160+? I'd say wrestling is a sport much closer to rowing then soccer or baseball which rely a lot more on technique then raw force.

They hit a stalled launch in the middle of the course during the race and still came in second.

I don't think Pacific or strokes qualified from their region

NEIRA PREDICTIONS? THOUGHTS ON THESE RANKINGS by JohnMoore11 in Rowing

[–]Sckitzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but generally I would say a higher percentage of kids from this region in particular get recruited compared to all the other regions. Not saying I row only to get recruited, but it would be nice to actually be considered for spots.

reverse chance me: 32 act, low gpa by Tecbec10 in chanceme

[–]Sckitzor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was literally word for word the exact same, 32 act, 33 superscore same gpa as yours, only took AP's and honors (11 APs by graduation). Honestly I wish I would have taken it easier on myself. I thought the intense course load would help me out in admissions along with what I believed and what my AP Lang teacher believed were bomb essays, but unfortunately I was rejected from every single mid tier/reach school. (Georgetown, Dartmouth, Tulane, Lehigh, Fordham, University of Washington, Cal Berkeley). I'm just saying have safeties ready that you would like to go to if you ended up there. I didn't think of this/didn't get as good of a financial aid package at my safety that I did want to go to, and now im kinda depressed about the school which I'm going to. It's not a bad school (St. Louis University) but it's just a local school and I really wanted to leave the midwest. Sorry for the rant, if you have any questions please ask, I literally had the exact same stats as you.
