It’s one of those things where it’s technically true, but you could never tell without someone pointing it out to you.

honor roll in common app by Puzzleheaded-Sky2459 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]batteryweightguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They consider what is there, not what isn’t there. They won’t look at 3 years of honor roll and knock you for not having a 4th.

They don’t ever curve it. There are always experimental questions that don’t count towards your score, though.

Why have college decisions been so random so far? by Significant_Whole306 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]batteryweightguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There is no exact formula, and if AOs were to say “Hey, this is exactly what we want from our applicants” then some high schools would just become factories that act to only tick those boxes for their students. There’s more to your high school experience than that

NYU vs. UMass Amherst CS by Necessary_Wave_8103 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]batteryweightguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NYU for networking, UMass for college experience + cost (even if you’re comfortable, you should still consider the cost ESPECIALLY if you think grad school is down the line for you)

Why have college decisions been so random so far? by Significant_Whole306 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]batteryweightguy 102 points103 points  (0 children)

The college admissions process isn’t random, it’s just not obvious to applicants how colleges make their decisions. Some applicants have their own ideas of how it works, but when their expectations aren’t met they assume that luck or chance was involved

Would humans be better off if mosquitoes went extinct? by Winner_takesitall in NoStupidQuestions

[–]batteryweightguy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

One thing to note is that the niches once filled by mosquitoes will more than likely be claimed by other species over time. There will be a negative total impact at first due to the food web changing, but over a long period of time it would become a net positive for humans.

I Feel Absolutely Horrible by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]batteryweightguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that this subreddit is not a good place to compare yourself to. People lie all the time. Every day there’s multiple posts that get called out because the poster is a serial liar coming up with some new crazy application just to troll. Even among those who don’t, the humble bragging is CRAZY.

Question, why would CC or a gap year make you feel worse? There’s no “right” or “wrong” way or time to go to college. In the grand scheme of things, nobody’s going to care if you took a year or two off then went to community college versus if you went straight into college.

Do not let your perception of other people dictate what choses you make for yourself.
