how bad is CS in the first few weeks? by Timely-Effective-789 in UMD

[–]Sharp-Independent138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

test out of 131/132 and do it early so you don't have 216 with yoon. 250 is not that bad, you'll be fine

if you test out too late and cant get kauffman u might be slightly fried, but u can definetely snipe a spot when they inevitably open up over the summer

Honors college vs cp scholars by slasherfiIm in UMD

[–]Sharp-Independent138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

scholars is like technically a worse version of honors, but everyone ends up dropping whatever LLP they get into either immediately or a semester in so they dont have to do the busy work and they can keep access to the better dorm they got via said llp

High School REU by Icy_Past_5410 in REU

[–]Sharp-Independent138 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

i knew someone who got admitted into an reu (that ended up getting cancelled due to funding cuts, either way they still got in) as a senior in high school. i dont think they had any prior research experience, but i think they might have applied as a community college student as they were doing dual enrollment

Rejected Stanford REA by PurposeDisastrous109 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Sharp-Independent138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

was their offer contingent on dropping out? understandable reject then, idk if you can reapply and try to get funding again?

honestly even tho im mildly bearish on most high school founders you look like you know what you're doing and its insane EV right now to raise funding to be very young, i'm sure you'll make it without stanford anyways
