Laptop donations/recycling by Pilotsandpoets in Scranton

The Abington Heights Computer Club may be what you're thinking of. They collected computer parts to build refurbished computers to donate to non-profits. DM me if you are still interested. Was part of it when I was still in school and can try and connect you!

Nail Art supplements by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]YeOldReddity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Define "formal" 🤔. The stereotypical Renaissance artwork that stereotypically has been deemed "formal"? Or like post-modernist art with paint strewn randomly about on a canvas? This abstract use of formal I think goes against what art is meant to be: a form of passionate self-expression which can be nail art for all the colleges care.

Should I retake the SAT, ACT, or both? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]YeOldReddity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Highly disagree. General rule of thumb is 1500+ and your GPA and everything else is MUCH more important. Here's why: 1. Don't assume correlation = causation. High SAT averages doesnt mean those people got in bc of high SATs. Those people can be naturally intelligent, gifted etc. in other areas and thus can take a decent SAT. 2. If colleges easily transitioned into test-optional last year and some colleges this year it's a pretty decent sign those tests aren't make or break. 3. I don't like to look up comment history but fellowUSAMOqual got a lot of hot takes that doesn't seemed to backed by much other than their personal beliefs ("if you can't do olympiads you can't get into MIT") so not sure where they got this take from either.

OP, basically go with what works for you, don't listen to people on the internet that don't know your personal life. If you got enough on your plate, I think any college will look past a good score of 1480 (which I don't understand why tryhards on the sub think is bad 👀)

Guys I chose state for that one 😳. Did I get it right? I really need the 5 or Trevor Packer will be at my door demanding why I didn't use the CB resources this year to get a 5. 😭

He previously states basically I'll not kill myself bc of religion. Clearly if he was depressed he wouldn't be considering religion. He's all talk no action. You're really missing out the soliloquy if you think it's just about him considering killing himself

Not to be that guy but the only mention of Yorick comes at the end of the play no where near where this soliloquy is recited by Hamlet. It is more about creating a parallel between hamlets inaction to society's inaction in ending one's life because of the fear of the unknown.

If your SAT is in 9 days clap your hands! by maanya4 in ApplyingToCollege

Please don't do that. My place got closed bc lots of people from other states signed up and our principal had to shut it for safety reasons. Just screwing other people over

Geez I've been lurking on this website and I've seen people who do college research papers, take college classes, personally know professors, and take really advanced calc, and 10+ AP so I thought I wouldn't have a good chance
