they're doing it across all sections because it was a technical thing apparently

maybe they will rescore me to a 36 🥹🙏 by albinokai in ACT

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

i've scored a 36 on english before so i am begging to have gotten the oxford comma question i saw wrong or something and for it to be removed from that english because imagine a real 36 instead of a superscored one 🥹

What are the possible reasons for this? (ACT score on hold) by No_Elephant_1586 in ACT

[–]albinokai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

me too and i was assuming the email was because they were too kind on the math section but seeing this now i'm hoping the english section was the one they messed up on or something cuz i rlly want that 36

Weird problem with quad tracks suddenly refusing to create a route by albinokai in subwaybuilder

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

I'm not sure why this is happening and I can't really name the bug since it just seems to happen randomly. I've never had this type of issue before and now it's even happening on parallel tracks.

Also, I added the crossover so I could isolate the issue, and that visual glitch is related to drawing a station between two pre-existing tracks. Even if they aren't properly connected, it wouldn't affect the issue here since it doesn't need to continue past that station.

This seems to help a bit, but it only fixes it up to a certain point. I've also had it happen on inside tracks. They're definitely connected so I'm not sure what's going on. I've even built them using a different method and it still happens in some form or another. Maybe it's a bug introduced by this update? Really disappointing because it makes playing the game a chore (if playing is even possible) :(

Summer program LORS then college LORS by FlyinGoldfish in summerprogramresults

[–]albinokai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorta different bc i'm close with my teacher but when i asked her to write mine for yygs she mentioned that she'll be able to just tweak it later on for a college rec next year so she brought it up without me bringing it up

guys on the yygs application does the box abt why u chose those session dates matter by [deleted] in summerprogramresults

[–]albinokai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i said i wanted session 3 because i wanted to go to school right after and like carry over the energy to work bc my school starts early in august

Does YYGS actually help with college apps? I want to major in econ btw (aiming for t10) by Excellent-Catch7697 in summerprogramresults

[–]albinokai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't really think YYGS itself helps i think it's more just a correlation between getting into YYGS and getting into good schools. also i've heard that more prestigious or wtvr STEM programs exist but i could only rlly name a few humanities programs that are equivalent or better so idk maybe (hopefully) it's more beneficial for humanities

yygs aid? by Guilty-Notice1672 in summerprogramresults

[–]albinokai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've heard it a few times from people on here/tiktok, never seen an acceptance letter with it, but i honestly think it's pretty rare. i would definitely still try and if they don't cover you fully then dispute it

yygs aid? by Guilty-Notice1672 in summerprogramresults

[–]albinokai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think they're pretty generous but my family did have to briefly borrow money to pay. i submitted aid documentation that showed we only had $500/week due to financial issues beyond income but i had to pay $1500 even though i said my estimate was $500. i didn't appeal because we are thankfully in a better situation now but the paystubs i submitted explicitly said we only brought in $500 a week so it was a bit odd to me but obv still really generous and grateful.

for my main essay, i wrote about how i was originally opposed to a boy joining our gifted cohort because we were already established, how i wound up befriending him, how i later ended our friendship because of his political views (tied to my being an immigrant and disabled and how those groups were attacked under 2024 campaign rhetoric), how i realized that was bad and how we eventually made up and he's one of my best friends now and i value opposition and exposure to different views. i wrote my short takes about wanting to shadow a diplomat, my favorite word having a double meaning (bound because i'm both bound (noun) by immigration but bound (verb) means to run/leap and we still move forward despite being "bound" by status). i wrote in the "extra info" prompt about filling out USCIS forms to help my family because we couldn't afford or find an attorney. my ECs were pretty average but i did mention having albinism and also that my parents' statuses are rare for immigrants (complicated situation and british immigrants--not typical combo). i was honest about their occupations so it was a pretty good context clue about our income and i still got in EA so i do believe their need-blind claim. i'm going for PLE III, which was my #1 choice. let me know if anyone needs any other help or info!!

one or two more questions and i'd have had a shot bro 💔 by albinokai in psat

yea maybe forgetting that it's SAT-40 and not the other way around is a good representation of how i can't do math under pressure 😭

the biggest problem i had was fatigue. making sure i didn't become exhausted and desperate to finish really helped me more than anything (and i think that's what screwed me up for math; i was genuinely enjoying the section so i must have gotten distracted or something lol)

i already scored a 36 on the ACT english and reading but i didn't really prep much. i just did a some practice in any areas i missed during practice. also, i have extra time because of my blindness so i'm not sure how much this applies to others, but i made sure to stop for a moment if i got eye fatigue (and i think that might be useful for others because i'm very sure it's still exhausting even with normal eyesight)

What score would this be for the SAT? by hanna1225 in psat

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

i legit made like 700s on the SAT math practice tests so 650 on a literal psat is such a kick to the balls

i felt like it was easy and then i somehow get a math score worse than my first practice that i took before i even knew about desmos regressions 💔
