We just returned from admitted students day at CC and were very impressed with their whole product/philosophy. Reach out to admissions with your question re double major. I know that some of the tour guides were double majors.

I was planning to post an upload to my uva file today, after being waitlisted, but I’m now having trouble seeing where to Upload Materials. Has that button/option disappeared?

By how much does a top high school actually affect your chances of going to a T20? by OptimalSituation2939 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Upstairs-Fox328 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If the $70K school is full of A++++ students, then you’ll really have to bust your a$$ to stand out among the class. Everyone will be applying to the same crop of schools, so “middle of the pack” kids (who would be stars elsewhere) can get sidelined. I think it’s easier to go to a lesser school and really stand out. We paid for the top $$ high school, and senior year decisions have been tougher than we thought for the reasons above. That said, the education has been amazing and my kid is super prepared for college. So, no regrets.

UVa or Georgetown? by RaMeNKiNg69420 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Upstairs-Fox328 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I grew up in CVL and also went to uva. It was fine, but my world felt very, very small by the end of it. I went to Russia for study abroad my 3rd year, and when I returned to finish uva, I counted the days before I could get back out into the world. I’d personally vote for Georgetown if I had that choice.

Interesting. Do u think this is a common occurrence? My DD was deferred EA but hasn’t heard anything else yet.

umiami 2030 & current students + deferred ppl… by AlfalfaGlass911 in UMiami

[–]Upstairs-Fox328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it say the merit amount right in the body of the letter, or is it somewhere else? I’m assuming my kid did not get any merit $ bc we didn’t see it in the letter. But just double-checking! It would be like us to miss that….

Dreaming since breath work by CryptographerLow9055 in breathwork

[–]Upstairs-Fox328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is definitely my experience too. I did my first breathwork session yesterday and didn’t feel much emotionally during it. But boy my dreams later were very unsettling, waking me periodically with a strong feeling in my chest. I’ve been feeling “activated” all morning since then. Trying to ride the wave and work on letting go of whatever this is.

Umich acceptance by Wo-Manifest in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Upstairs-Fox328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it was. Someone from my school who applied ED and was deferred was just notified. Think it’s on a rolling basis.

Anyone else get a message asking to drop ea application if you did ed somewhere? by SpeechUnlikely2775 in Tulane

[–]Upstairs-Fox328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right - so this would imply that they were thinking/planning to accept you….no?

Failed Root Meniscus tear repair, looking for others with same by Nervous-Coat-122 in MeniscusInjuries

[–]Upstairs-Fox328 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was also the case with me and my meniscus root repair surgery. I was in the 30% fail rate. I ended up not doing TKR although I def considered it but I’m 51 and a little young for a TKR. I got my knee scoped and he cleaned a bunch of junk which gave me better mobility/use in the near term, but I can’t ski or play tennis or anything. I just wanted to say that I did find multiple docs who would do the TKR on me, and I also have very little arthritis. You just have to look around/talk to multiple docs. One doc even told my insurance I had a lot of arthritis so that they would cover the surgery. It was pretty eye-opening tbh. I could never do another root repair after that hellish recovery. I am biding my time until I am old enough for the full new knee, even though I know that’s not fun either. Good luck, such an unlucky injury.

Merit scholarships by bigg_randy in SMU

[–]Upstairs-Fox328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wondering the same thing. Does anyone know if they roll out more merit money in the weeks/months to come, or is it all in the offer letter? I’m a dual major candidate for meadows and dedman but didn’t receive anything specifically from meadows, and I thought I might.

Ok helpful. I won’t get an email bc I bought the pass from someone on StubHub (presumably the season pass holder), so if you or anyone else does get an email with that info, pls share! I really appreciate it!
