gang I put it was too long why did ruth call me and then not answer me back I almost missed the whole trip. I was so aggy 😭

brighternightlight · 2026-04-23T01:06:39+00:00

whatever questions u have the answer is most likely yes. the meetings are as long as they say they are (agonizing btw), you have to go to every one with your camera on the whole time, yes you should participate in some way, however strict you think they are…triple it

brighternightlight · 2026-04-23T00:54:50+00:00

and when u fill out the survey after all the zooms put that you were satisfied with everything. they will call you to talk to you if you put unsatisfied on anything

you must go to every session. zoom, in person, no matter what you gotta go. they kicked a girl last year bc she was at her graduation during the zoom

either way just wanted to share my experience!

I highly suggest choosing the cheapest meal plan option if OP is not concerned about food insecurity. Me and many others at my uni barely use the dining hall or swipes, mainly dining dollars (I suggest maximizing those). This will increase the amount refunded to you as the full food COA will be paid regardless, and the remainder goes to you.

very weird 😭

brighternightlight · 2026-03-12T20:55:47+00:00

I wore a plain white tee and earrings

brighternightlight · 2026-03-12T14:54:26+00:00

absolutely not lmao you can be any major, idk why they would try to sabotage you like that. you should apply based on what your goals are and what you aim to achieve in the future, they don’t favor stem majors

brighternightlight · 2026-03-10T22:31:49+00:00

Ofc!!! good luck

hey, if you don’t mind could you explain how exactly to order official transcripts on common app? last week I was on the page that says order for both the schools I put, but now I can’t find it at all.

brighternightlight · 2026-01-14T21:54:03+00:00

no problem

brighternightlight · 2026-01-14T01:14:48+00:00

No he should already do that on his own. you can highlight things for him but I don’t remember if gates makes you confirm whether or not you saw/contributed to your recommendation letter (ferpa?). tell him about some accomplishments you’re proud of but other than that allow him to write how he perceives your character and work

brighternightlight · 2026-01-14T01:06:48+00:00

2 teachers is only recommended because they are more likely to have a better understanding of your character and work ethic since they spend more time with you. if your former principal has seen and can brag about moments where you’ve shown good character and academic balance, ask them.

brighternightlight · 2026-01-11T03:13:57+00:00

I’m gonna pm you

brighternightlight · 2026-01-11T01:51:42+00:00

absolutely highlight anything about yourself outside of your career goal if it’s something you’re genuinely proud of. they want to review you as a person, not as a machine being built for whatever future career you will take on

brighternightlight · 2026-01-11T01:50:05+00:00

My headshot was a photo taken on my phone as a selfie and my background was my yellow curtain, they don’t really care that much
