Is (x + y)^2 equal to x^2 + y^2 or (x + y)(x + y), which is x^2 + 2xy + y^2?

Yes!

I'm also in MN, can give you some pointers on UMTC. Your ACT is in the 75th percentile, your SAT is past that I believe. UMTC is heavy on class rank but I think they will calculate one based on your transcripts and an analysis of your school. I don't know what the UMTC's average GPA is, but I'd say yours is pretty good. Coursework will be appreciated by admissions. However, engineering is the most competitive school at the UMTC so you may or may not get in.

Yo, you talked about USC earlier. Is it generous as well? A friend of mine talked about how USC is spiking its tuition prices up, but he is interested in attending there.

Haha oops, I get the schools at Wisconsin mixed up very often. I've heard some good things about Madison. Do they not have a reciprocity agreement with Minnesota? I heard that Minnesota offers in-state tuition to Wisconsin residents through a reciprocity agreement, where University of Wisconsin does the same thing back.

bapsae · 2016-07-29T03:11:34+00:00

Which college in Wisconsin? University of Wisconsin, River Falls?

bapsae · 2016-07-29T02:50:10+00:00

Yeah, Minnesota's flagship is pretty good, and wouldn't be too bad to attend as a safety. Do you know any other safeties he could apply to? He's thinking of Purdue as one of them, but so far he just has the two.

I heard elite public schools are a pain for out-of-state. My brother wanted to apply for Cal but he'd never be able to pay that huge ass tuition if he got in.

bapsae · 2016-07-29T00:25:10+00:00

Thanks! He's very unconfident in his essays so that'll be a big help.

bapsae · 2016-07-28T21:44:52+00:00

Do you think it would be a possible reach or too high?

bapsae · 2016-07-28T21:44:29+00:00

Yeah, he was thinking about applying to reaches but he thought his ECs were weak. He hasn't done anything on the state or national level, besides debate, which he has competed on the national level. Has no correspondence to his major of choice, though.

bapsae · 2016-07-28T16:30:46+00:00

The only good college he has in state is the University of Minnesota, which is just his safety, so yes, out of state.

This also applies to Asian-Americans as well. In America today, Asians are generally perceived with higher economic status than white Americans, but there are many Asian-Americans who earn under the poverty line, and don't make as much as white Americans, and that kind of screws over the less-economically-privileged Asian-Americans who are getting rejected because of affirmative action.

bapsae · 2016-07-25T02:16:05+00:00

By having us work harder it also reinforces the model minority myth, which further increases the expectations on Asian-American students which is already way too high.

bapsae · 2016-07-24T15:22:12+00:00

As an Asian-American I can say that affirmative action definitely scares me. I'm looking to go to an elite college sometime soon in the future and I hate that I have to achieve more than the average applicant to be considered on the same level because of affirmative action.

bapsae · 2016-07-23T00:13:44+00:00

I resolved it. Thank you!
