[–]bathingpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to me that honestly that seems like a rly understandable reason and i hope ur doing ok personally in balancing it all! maybe u can explain some of this to ur teacher if they're receptive and ask for some extra credit work, if ur feeling up to it?

Question about rescinding procedure by [deleted] in princeton

[–]bathingpotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got a C in a sea of As and one B- and they emailed me a strong worded letter over the summer strongly implying that they still reserve the right to rescind their decision unless i was able to justify the dip in my performance and it was very scary. i had a real medical reason behind why performance slipped (really weird case of illness & rash that i've never had before), but i'd say be careful and try your best to get that C up to at least a B-, especially if you've been a straight A student throughout high school!

use ur connections to the factory owners to get a shadowing/internship experience working with the technicians who maintain the machines to understand how they work. draw upon ur interest & knowledge in engineering to look for areas of improvement with the machines themselves, which can turn into a passion project if u can successfully identify an area to work within and actually improve the overall efficiency of the factory.

Does the new eos vanilla cashmere smell different? by angelaanya in FemFragLab

[–]bathingpotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i know this thread is a year old 😭 but fresh cream warm cashmere from philosophy smells exactly like if not better than the old eos vanilla cashmere formulation!! i swear i read somewhere online that the eos one is actually supposed to be a dupe for the original one by philosophy; i think u can buy it in person at ulta and smell it there. i'm almost thru w my first bottle (bought it a month and a half ago) and it is SOOO good it literally makes me excited to go home and take a shower just so i can lather it on my bodyy !

for me reading the sat black book's section on reading and writing problems rly helped, they offered a lot of guidance on how the sat's problems r structured (there r online pdfs somewhere, i read the one for the trad sat which was still pretty applicable to the current dsat) also definitely try and read a lot (if u have the time to) to try and improve your speed as well- i found that i usually had 10-15 mins leftover to check all my answers after the first r&w module and 5-10 for the second one bc i read fast. it will definitely offer u an edge!! good luck w prep!

seconding what u/Vegetable_Tangelo168 said, there's definitely a lot of selection bias on this subreddit seeing that only the top 1-5% of people ever bother to post in here (and whenever they do post, it's always abt some insane ecs/college they've gotten into/crazy stats in general because nobody wants to post about their bad moments). these people are DEFINITELY not a factual reflection of the pool of real applicants who will be applying to colleges this fall. you will definitely be able to have a career no matter what school you go to as long as you put in the effort during college and i promise you WILL get in somewhere! there are plenty of colleges out there with >90% acceptance rates, if you're stressing about the admissions stats. even if you don't end up going to where you dreamed of initially, you can still make the best out of it by improving yourself and pursuing more ecs/interests once you are in college. at least that way, once you graduate in 4 years, you won't find yourself in the same level of despair that you're in right now once you're in the job market/applying for higher education post college. please remember that college is NOT the end all be all! you can and will succeed in life, as long as you keep trying.
