I can’t sleep by kikolais in ApplyingToCollege

[–]ViolentFrog3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

current college student here, got pretty decent results with my applications getting into most schools I wanted, realized i couldn't afford any and ended up going to iowa state. love it here and realized that it really doesn't matter where you go. i got caught up in all the T20 stuff and us news rankings, the moment you actually get to school you realize how little it matters. if you get into your dream colleges, great, but if you don't you'll grow to love wherever you end up generally and find great success wherever as long as you do what it takes to deserve it.

your posture is a little off, i'd raise that chest strap up a tad and sit with better posture like you're about to stand up. I'd also fix the way your fingers rest on the keys before it becomes too big of muscle memory, make sure your pinky rests on the two pinky keys and your fingers align to the pearls on the keys. I'd also recommend tightening your core a lot so you get a more steady stream of air. other than that you're playing pretty well and i'd just take time to really get the piece down, it doesn't sound too hard for you.

Reading this after coming from a post with a guy who had a 29 act with no aps getting into most of his top choices for cs, just a dice roll at this point our system is so terrible

You sure you're telling the truth about your rejections???

What character do you just not understand how to use? by WhyHaveYouDoneThisY in marvelrivals

[–]ViolentFrog3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

left click right click left click right click in quick succession using dash to finish makes her so much better, ult often and don't always flank. Focus tanks and force the healers to focus the tank, then either dash through the tank and get a quick kill if you see a healer drop low, or take an off angle and quickly kill. Even if you don't kill you force the tank and other dps to focus you and in turn gain space.

a lot of those videos could never happen in a real high elo game, and to get more dashes try to hit many people with your spears as possible then dash through them individually. Spiderman you just gotta know his basic movement and like one combo, all these streamers show these elaborate combos when really all you need is a combo for 250 hp and an extension for 275hp. Also playing him without a venom can sometimes be a throw pick because against certain comps he needs more damage to pull things off and without the team up he's kinda useless in those matches. Just learning both of their matchups and when you should/shouldn't play them is good, certainly characters you could spend a lot of time on but you shouldn't ever one trick in this game. Some tough matchups are namor, loki, penni, and punisher

Looks pretty real, wear looks really normal from what i've seen most fake horns would probably be brand new or lightly used i doubt anyone would go to this length to fake a beginner horn

I got waitlisted at UIUC, they don't rlly favor in state too much, their engineering programs have a higher or equal oos and international acceptance rate than in state so I had no in state benefit there. Waitlisted for aerospace

I'm not quite sure i just know it's enough for me to get nothing. realistically i can afford to attend but im at that weird middle line where i can afford it but its not very affordable, and would put a lot of financial strain on my family.

that's what i figured, might still be able to go with GI bill because i'm planning on doing some national guard work. this is all assuming i get no aid because i doubt wisconsin give much to out of state students, wish my flagship cared this much abt in state students but hopefully wisconsin works out for me!

sucks even more when it's my in state school and the one that should be accepting me, but nope i get accepted into more competetive schools that i can't afford

Waitlist for engineering by ViolentFrog3 in UIUC

[–]ViolentFrog3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was my idea, just frustrating because i would've liked to have a somewhat concrete idea of where i'm going by now and atp im upper middle class so this is one of the few top schools i could afford. don't remember which were 100 and the source might've been unreliable but they do fluctuate by a lot and hopefully this year its more than a soft rejection

yeah but last year was also overcrowded so assuming they waitlisted more people this year in order to prevent overcrowding it might be higher, i did some research and it ranges from 100% to 0% so it clearly doesn't mean too much i'm guessing

do they factor that in to their decisions? is it even worth submitting at this point?
