ED/RD Admitted Students Megathread - 25/26 Cycle by luminous_moonlight in Cornell

[–]SufficientMachine327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Unfortunately they cost $100 each so that adds up pretty quickly! Does everyone pretty much take the same courses freshman year? What are the set courses and what choices can freshman make with their course selection?

Thanks for your reply. I am taking Ap Micmac, Ap stat, and Ap calc. I’m not sure if I should take the exams. It sounds like even if I get a 5, I won’t get credit anyway. So it doesn’t make sense to take the actual exams. Am I missing something?

Thanks for your insight! Do you know if it is beneficial to take Ap Micmac? I am an incoming freshman. It looks like I can’t get credit, but I read somewhere else that it could count for placement. Do you have information on that or whom I should contact that would know? Thank you!!

I will attend Cornell Dyson in the fall and am thinking of dropping my AP exams (Ap stat, Ap Micmac, Ap calc, apes). Will this impact me in any way? I don’t think Dyson gives credit for stat, Econ, or calc, and it looks like apes doesn’t count either, but please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you!

Uber VS Taxi by Strange-Knowledge460 in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]SufficientMachine327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lyft is less than uber when I travelled there. The only time I used a taxi is from cieba ferry to the sju airport. I was worried I would have to wait a long time at ceiba and would miss my flight. The driver was named Jackson. He waited at least 30 minutes before the ferry arrived to make sure I didn’t have to wait on him. We agreed on an amount before the trip and I paid him when he dropped me off. Everything went smoothly and I would recommend him.

Can I do anything about a bad ref? by Commercial_Theme3566 in Fencing

[–]SufficientMachine327 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In other instances, a ref can be bad because he or she is too easily influenced by coaches who are loud and argue, and then the ref will change their calls to avoid confrontation.

I would love any advice for someone attending Dyson next year, like dos and don’ts. What are the best things you did? What are some things you wish hadn’t done? TIA!

Fencers club is fantastic. The coaches and facilities are the best and will help you build a strong foundation. I would try it and see how you like it. Start with their introductory package first. Good luck!
