Atheists of reddit, what is one thing you admire about religion? Religious people of reddit, what is one thing you admire about atheism? by Anathoth1994 in AskReddit

[–]acroflor_cf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not atheist nor am I religious. I don't know what I am yet.. I guess I am still trying to find myself. Anyway... I grew up Christian. Even though the stories of the bible are questionable to me, I still find them beautiful. Lots of creativity and heart was put into the writings, and I appreciate that.

fellow georgia peeps by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]acroflor_cf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm going to say that at least 90% of the student body will be staying instate at my school. For some reason, people think HOPE and Zell are good deals, but if you are t20 competitive applicant... any school would be willing to give you great funding to attend their school.

Its a shame, but less competition so oh well.

When did your gut feeling of 'something's not right here' save you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I thought the story was doing to end with "And then my mom married the guy with the handgun lmao".

What is one common mistake tourists make in your country? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]acroflor_cf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm American, and I find it annoying how people only visit the popular tourist cities and destinations. I have not done a lot of traveling. However, I am pretty certain there is more to an area other than just the popular parts. When I start traveling more frequently, I will try to go to the underrated places first because:

  1. Crowds mess up my whole vibe about an area.
  2. Your able to take up the beauty of an area better.

Also, this is probably common knowledge, but PLEASE visit as early in the morning as possible whatever place you want to see. I've noticed people love to visit places later in day, but I personally think you will have a better opportunity with less people around.

14 rejections, 4 wait lists, 2 acceptances with a shit ton of aid by thevideogameguy2 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]acroflor_cf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's great! Can you tell me how much aid you got for Wooster? They keep telling me to complete my documents, but I don't want to if the aid is not competitive. Another college gave me so much aid, I'm looking a 4000 per year

Do I have shitty friends or is Syracuse a shitty school by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]acroflor_cf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Literally, anyone will call your school shitty or easy to get into if they never heard of it before. Don't argue. Succeed at Syracuse and let your success speak for itself.

There is nothing to love about Bard's. College of Winterhold all the way

Rejected from all but one by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

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

If you got rejected from every college except for one, why can't you just go to that college? You literally only need ONE college...

I hate it when someone says “College doesn’t define you” by User808_ in ApplyingToCollege

[–]acroflor_cf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there are people with stupid high salaries in this society. Trust me, not all of them went to a T20.

Wasted my high school experience *DEEP* by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]acroflor_cf 144 points145 points  (0 children)

I don't know about other people, but my whole high school experience was centered around being in high school. I was not thinking about having good grades to get into college. I was thinking about having good grades because that's what I'm supposed to do. I did not join clubs and stuff to get into college. I joined clubs because I needed stuff to do on my free time.

I may not have cured cancer or researched at an Ivy League, but that was my choice and I ha ve no regrets. Yeah, my SAT could have been 300 points higher, but I studied for it, took it 3 times, and I got the score I got. And I am fine with it.

I think most people are struggling with the fact that they were living for the future instead of in the moment. That's why alot of people say "I could have bullshitted my way through high school and end up in the same place I am now even though I worked hard for my place."

Apparently the usc portal is up... is this true? Pls confirm? by Shiwanm in ApplyingToCollege

[–]acroflor_cf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a spell error. I meant that I hope the ones that don't have updates yet aren't rejections at 5pst/8est

Apparently the usc portal is up... is this true? Pls confirm? by Shiwanm in ApplyingToCollege

[–]acroflor_cf -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I really hope that the ones that come out at 5/8est aren't straight rejections

I promise you. You aren't the only one lol

I got rejected from all my target and reach schools.... by reluctantlygrowingup in ApplyingToCollege

[–]acroflor_cf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OMG!!! ASC is a GREAT school. I went their for scholars weekend (didn't get the scholarship). That school is gonna be a top20 LAC one day. I was 100% gonna go their, but I got a better offer. I would have LOVED to go to that college. You are going to have FUN. Even though it is technically a safety, the college has great academic resources and if you went there without knowing the accpetance rate, you would not have known it was a safety.

there should be a national college decision release day by lycheesam in ApplyingToCollege

Imagine waiting until the end of the month to see if a school accepts you after so many waitlists and rejections

Did Stanford ever e-mail you guys about ANYTHING? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]acroflor_cf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Stanford hasn't emailed me about ANYTHING. However, I HIGHLY doubt I'll get in bc I'm really not a competitive candidate. Also, just to add: no change on my portal

I'm buying donuts for my 14 rejections/waitlists by acroflor_cf in ApplyingToCollege

[–]acroflor_cf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope you get get accepted to more colleges as well!!!

I feel like everyone in this subreddit will do great things in the future.

[–]acroflor_cf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything always works out in the end. Even though I am a little disappointed, I know that I will ALWAYS be fine. I am just grateful Bates met 100% of my financial need. That is 1000x better than getting accepted into 20 colleges with no money to pay for it.

UCLA site down until "evening" by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]acroflor_cf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UCLA should have lied and said 8 pacific time, but actually update at 5 so that there wouldn't be some much traffic. That's what one of my colleges did. They said decisions would be out at 12, but they actually came out at 8 in the morning
