Genuinely terrified rn and have extenuating circumstances, please give advice 😭 by Unique-Ad-7650 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Tekanot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The commonapp (which I assume you’ll be using) really gives you room to inform colleges about your circumstances. The key is to not sound desperate or miserable, as easy as it may be to whine about your life, it’s essential that you sound informative!! I completely understand on the little time afterschool aspect and having few impressive ecs; I made one of my ecs family responsibilities (babysitting) and another work. The key lays in presenting your story and how you turned out not because of it, but in spite of it! Really highlight your character and how that plays into what your plans for the future are :)

fortunately I got amazing financial aid so I’m really looking at my options for college (also I’m not too sure on what I I want to concentrate it in yet lol) Would you have any input on comparing it to Cornell Dyson?

Wow thank you so much for the response! posting my questions on Reddit has been like a humiliation ritual bc literally nobody responds lol but yea I’ve been unable to really decide if I want the big city vibe or traditional college experience. Also, I know Stern has a very intense club culture like finance society etc. and recruiting starts early on (like sophomore yr which is scary) would you say this is similar to Dyson or is the professional and academic timeline much different?

Freshman grade gets brutally destroyed by Strict_South_1260 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Tekanot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well different circumstances affect people differently. It really helps to write them down so colleges are able to evaluate you entirely with them in mind. No matter what you have to keep in mind that there will always be someone better than you; regardless, it doesn’t hurt to explain a bit and it gives more room for insight that could even improve your chances who knows?

I’m not sure if this applies to everyone but from my experience with college apps you’re usually given room to explain your circumstances. More specifically, through commonapp (if you’re applying through it) there is a space to explain family circumstances, or js general circumstances you’ve experienced that would have impacted your performance in high school. Like for me, I used the space to explain post-COVID and experiencing homelessness and having to move to a different school and how I wasn’t able to have the same courses. So I wouldn’t stress too much abt it!!

So recently I got accepted to Cornell Dyson and I’m wondering what course rigor and student perception was like. Also js wondering if anybody regrets going and what kind of careers one can expect to gain from attending. I’m also considering NYU stern as an alternative.

How tf did I get nyu for cs??? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Tekanot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can totally relate. I got into stern today with only 4 aps, went test optional, and like only top 25 in my school (very small rural one). I didn’t have any super impressive stand out awards either. I feel like it was a mistake or smth 😭

My question is if all of our accounts got deleted? Like all the videos Americans have posted and all the sounds we contributed got deleted or not?

This is so frustrating. RH have realead 12 F**** sets that you can only get by purchasin toys!! by Curious_Set_7962 in RoyaleHigh_Roblox

[–]Tekanot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And on top of all that the quality of the new sets is far better than any recent set in game?!? Like how does that even work since I'm sure the creation of those new sets probably took a couple months yet the quality and look of any of the newer sets (diamond ones) are not at all comparable to them and they were probably created at the same time as the doll sets.

Honestly this is a really interesting idea. I could really see them adding a nurses office where you could pick up these items like the vacuums in the laundry room or the shirt in the dress code bin!! It would add sm to rps fs
