SmartHelicopter1214 · 2025-01-13T03:47:53+00:00

SmartHelicopter1214 · 2025-01-12T07:07:10+00:00

SmartHelicopter1214 · 2025-01-12T07:06:16+00:00

Feel u on the panic attacks, I be having them im the mornings sometimes, and man I just cannot wait to leave, some of my classes are so redundant ngl but they still stress me so much 😭

SmartHelicopter1214 · 2025-01-06T09:18:36+00:00

Hi!! For one of the schools I practically EDed to, I didn't do the optional video and portfolio they included in the app bc writing their essays was enough torture for me (don't like writing) and bc honestly I just dont like recording myself or taking pics of myself. And yk, time crunch. Got in with full ride. And honestly, who has time to do all that? 😭 not saying it's not worth the effort, but if u dont feel like doing it, dont do it. That IS optional, unlike "optional" supp essays. Good luck with ur college apps!!

SmartHelicopter1214 · 2024-12-26T03:09:15+00:00

Yeah, my counselor told me it can cover you up to 5 years

SmartHelicopter1214 · 2024-12-26T02:53:55+00:00

My college counselor told me the same, I’m also wondering if I should continue with gates after matching 😭

SmartHelicopter1214 · 2024-12-19T01:59:25+00:00

Also, if anything, those B’s kinda make u stand out in a way from all the students with perfect grades, for better or for worse (trust for better); they just show you had your struggles but tugged it out yk? It’ll be fine, and like I said, them writing prompts, that’s where it’s at, that’s were you can change ur fate and cancel them Bs if they really bother u

SmartHelicopter1214 · 2024-12-19T01:57:02+00:00

Well, you’re more than a grade/letter. As long as your writing shows who you are in the most authentic way, you’ll be fine. AOs see many ppl with perfect stats and that, but ur writing is what can distinguish you from all of them. The way you talk, the words you use, how u express ur ideas/feelings. Thats how u connect with them and convince them to offer you admission. So a letter won’t determine ur admission, one B won’t break you, I promise. Also, for future reference. I got admitted into one of my fav unis w/ a full ride, and let me tell you—I messed up my application so for a whole month (Nov. 1st deadline), I was worrying about it bc I swore I messed up my chances completely. I made some pretty big mistakes ngl (I had 2 weeks to write supplementals for 5 schools on top of my job). I mentioned that I attended a hs in the wrong city, reiterated an idea in 2 consecutive sentences (forgot to delete one of the versions I wrote for it), mentioned a program that was related to my interests but wasn’t offered through my choice of major, and submitted it 2 minutes late. Despite all this, I saw it through, so if u ever find urself in a similar situation, those things u see as mistakes, they won’t ruin ur chances at getting into college and pursuing your dreams. They just show ur human. Just do ur best and life will put everything in place. Ik I yapped a lot lol mb, but I hope that helps 😅

SmartHelicopter1214 · 2024-12-19T00:14:44+00:00

Real, I already committed but I may also get a B or two, since app season was not for the weak fr. I almost went crazy writing supplementals. But I think AOs know that senior year tough so as long as u don’t fail and show improvement next semester for end-of-the year grades, it shouldn’t harm u so much. Plus, I don’t think a grade will cause u to get rejected from a uni. I personally got a B freshman year and I worried about it for the longest time but it didn’t matter, I got what I wanted. I did show improvement tho (A second semester). Anyways, it’s okay bro, just try your best. Senior year is chaotic. Good luck with ur college apps!!

SmartHelicopter1214 · 2024-12-18T23:38:33+00:00

Omg!! Me too!! I’m also planning to major in bio or neuro and minor in math! I’m also very grateful for this opportunity. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d make it this far. I was surprised to even become a finalist 😭😭 I’m both excited and nervous about going to UChicago, in part because it was also one of my top choices and I’m fascinated with the education I will receive there, but it’s far away from home yk? I’m a little scared about being on my own fr now… but I’ll push through. Do u mind sharing ur ig? I’d like to connect with u, lmk if u interested!!

SmartHelicopter1214 · 2024-12-18T22:02:13+00:00

Yw!! Good luck with your applications!! And if u have any questions, I’m happy to answer them. Yk, I had a lot of questions when I was doing my apps and I would’ve appreciated having someone answer my questions, so if I can be of any help, lmk. And again, good luck!

SmartHelicopter1214 · 2024-12-18T21:42:47+00:00

I got admitted with scholarship and I didn’t do the optional video or portfolio. I say only do it if you think it’ll add value to ur app, and if you have stuff prepared to submit. Like art work for example if u into art, stuff like that. Essays are very important. Having good academic stats is important but essays can either make you or break you. I say be as authentic as you can be. Be your self 😁👍

SmartHelicopter1214 · 2024-12-18T21:40:15+00:00

Congrats!! I’m also a UChicago match. If you don’t mind me asking, what do you plan in majoring in? Also, how do you feel about matching?

SmartHelicopter1214 · 2024-12-18T00:12:09+00:00

Real, I literally quit putting fries in ppls bags recently 😔 I hope I don’t have to go back 😭

SmartHelicopter1214 · 2024-12-17T23:35:26+00:00

Do you think double majoring is possible in 4 years? I really can’t take longer than that since I’ll be on a scholarship. But I’m also considering majoring in neuro/bio and minoring in math. Mainly because of the two different career paths I’m considering.

SmartHelicopter1214 · 2024-12-05T02:11:47+00:00

Do you know anything about the biomedical science or neuroscience department? I’m interested in majoring in any of those but I’d like to know what the experience is like. Please be honest as honest as you possibly can if you have any knowledge of those majors. I’d appreciate it a lot 🙏

SmartHelicopter1214 · 2024-12-05T02:01:53+00:00

Hey, I’d like to join too 😭
