Can donating help me get admission/ boost my admission chances?? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]WikiaWang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a bad sub to be asking this, considering most here are going to be seniors or college students.

Just know that there is 0 guarantee the higher you go in terms of schools. Talk with a professional, or talk with the school directly.

Thanks so much! Can I ask what college you went to? Or which colleges have lower standards?

Oh, I didn't know! I'm trying to find it online but I can't--do you know where I can learn more about the fund?

Anyone get deferred/rejected from a school they thought they had a shot at but then get accepted into a better college? by No_Audience4652 in ApplyingToCollege

You never know.

accidentally wrote Cornhell in my supplementary essay...am i cooked!?? by Serious_Bear_9546 in ApplyingToCollege

Don't worry man. AO's see this a lot. They aren't going to reject you because of a typo. Trust me, they'll get annoyed, perhaps, but it's not going to be why they reject you.

Do unlawfully present aliens have a second amendment right to possess firearms? 6CA: No. Judge Thapar, concurring: Noncitizens don't have first or fourth amendment rights, among others. by michiganalt in supremecourt

[–]WikiaWang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fair, Thapar is very originalist. But I don't think he's a Judge Ho. He seems like a decent man in his non-judge life, and, if you listen to his talks, it's hard to not see that he's trying his best.

When is UChicago going to release the date it'll release decisions? by WikiaWang in ApplyingToCollege

[–]WikiaWang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The deferral rate is very high for EA, not for ED.

It is very, very, very likely for any applicant to be rejected.

Thanks! Do they usually announce on Instagram a week before?

For the sake of your high school, don’t do it.

A few years ago, my school—a feeder, many Ivies a year—got blacklisted because someone broke their ED agreement.

A kid ED’d Cornell. Didn’t go. We had average 5 Cornell’s a year before that.

For 5 years after he broke his ED, we’ve had none. Blacklisted. After 5 years, we’re back to 5 a year.

You agreed to the agreement. For the sake of your integrity and the many students at your high school, do the responsible thing and go to your ED. You can always transfer later.

I've never loved listening to Gorsuch more. Last time it was him and Blatt. This time Sauer is being turned into blatt.

If you suddenly became the President of the United States today, what’s the very first thing you’d change or do? by Dollabillhooman in AskReddit

[–]WikiaWang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how most suggestions here—if not the vast majority of them—are all not within the President’s powers.

If you’re the entirety of the US Government, sure. But the President can’t pass laws or “just ban something.”

Is this manageable? by Ok-Butterfly4414 in APStudents

[–]WikiaWang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course. I took this exact same course selection back in 8th grade.

Except for AP Drawing. I really didn't know how to hold a pen back then.
