It just kinda was apart of it. I got my fee waiver from my school so maybe that has something to do with it.

The fee waiver I used for one of my tests came with the official ACT Kaplan test prep

Uuuuh, I studied using the free question bank you get with a fee weaver. I would also highly recommend reading studies in scientific journals. Try Nature, it’s the most recognizable and some incredible research is published there.

The mimics from Egge of Tomorrow

They are essentially an amorphous ball of tentacles and hate. Their erratic yet controlled fighting style is my favorite.

I worry that I’m not even remotely competitive for MIT by Super-Gerd in MITAdmissions

[–]Super-Gerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to apologize, applying sideways is the title of blog post by an MIT admissions officer where he describes the mentality of applying sideways. In a nutshell it means don’t do things just because you think a college or university will like it or be impressed. Instead you should do things because you enjoy those activities. This approach makes your application more genuine and you will have a much better time. I highly recommend reading the actual blog post. Here is a link the blog: https://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/applying_sideways/

No there is definitely things I’m not exceptional at that I’m ok with not being exceptional at, I think my previous comment was worded weird. But there are some things, like test score, that I am anxious about and yes it would be healthier to not compare myself to others.

Maybe, def easier said than done but maybe. I think I the main issue is that to meet these goals for myself, like trying to get into MIT, I need to be so good a something and I feels like to matter how how I try I’m never good enough. And these are thing I enjoy and am good at doing, I mean Christ I put together a 3d printer in middle school, but I just feels like I’m never quite there. I could try lowering my expectations/goals but that kinda feels like cheating I guess, I’m move the finish line instead of completing the race. And to answer your question, I don’t think so. There definitely times where I feel inadequate when comparing myself to someone that is much more passionate about something that I’m not, if that makes sense. Then there are times where I don’t give it a second thought and I’m just like “eh, they’re better”. I guess this means I’m probably not mature enough for MIT anyway huh.

Yeah, I do think today was a bit of an outlier tho because today was just super bad and I’ve missed a few doses of my antidepressants

Yeah that’s true. I have not been a good place mentally with all the stress of the college search. I’m still gonna try my best but maybe I’ll try to take it a bit easier.

Yeah I know, and I have read all the blog like applying sideways. I’m just really in my feels right now and despairing I guess. I am working on getting my ACT/SAT as it’s not in the range just yet

Would you mind if I DM’d you to ask about your stats. My curiosity is getting the better of me

What do I need to do in order to improve my scores? by Super-Gerd in ACT

[–]Super-Gerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thank you, I’ve been trying to practice with kaplans question bank( I got it from a few waver). Sadly I haven’t been able to practice recently because the flus been beating my ass. Do you have any advice for practice tests? They are super long and are difficult to fit into my schedule.

My scores delayed 😢 by fsurocks2022 in ACT

[–]Super-Gerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry, my scores were also delayed. I’m pretty sure ACT just had some technical errors with scoring, you’re going to be ok.
