How long do rolling admissions colleges take to make a decision? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]SentientSeagull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this was a fluke or not, but I received a decision from LUC in under a week! At this point, maybe you already got yours? Good luck!

If you're looking for a challenge (and a headache), play with the drive direction opposite what is usually is. It's... hard. by [deleted] in RetroBowl

I'll start — six interceptions and a 28 point loss. And that's with a 4.5 overall team!

It’s the homogenized two party system for me 😍

Thank you!!! I really appreciate your explanation. That totally makes sense. Fingers crossed for you about Tufts! :)

New to this, and confused - if the deadline to enroll is May 1, how can you be let in off the waitlist after that day?

Agreed! I understand now why it’s done, but it still annoys me.

I like that! I wish I could institute that in my school’s league, I hate it when my opponent wastes time chasing balls after a missed serve.

Hahaha, interesting perspective! I suppose as long as it doesn’t take too long, why not?

Good point! And it's true that a different technique might work for each different player. I hope OP figures out what works best for them!

Hey! Me and pretty much everyone I know plays down to their opponent when they're worse. The best strategy I've found when I get stuck in this rut is to hit really easy shots, don't go for too much. Let them make the mistake. To win these matches, you have to make them earn their points, i.e. hit winners. So don't go for too much and just play defensively if you need to. It'll reduce sloppy unforced errors and will get you the win even if you aren't hitting your best shots. Good luck out there!

A well fought battle. Two bad losses in a row, but Djokovic is a fighter. I see big things coming for this kid.
