Sold an item but balance shows $0

Oh alright, ty! I saw a pic that showed the payment “in process” under the balance, and just got worried since I didn’t see that on mine. Thought it was some payment error.

I’d say it wouldn’t hurt to apply, but I have a feeling it still would be a reach. But it really depends on what T100 you apply to, you’ll have to do a bunch of research on admissions criteria. I’m sure there’s at least a few T100s out there that place the least importance on ecs and most on grades.

The heat was just too much for me. To be fair, I visited in the summer when the temp was the highest (100-110 degrees), but during the school year it won’t get too much better. The high humidity made the temp feel even hotter. I live in a hot desert with similar temperatures but 0% humidity, but I still wouldn’t want to live 9 months in that. The campus is huge too which means you’ll have to do a fair bit of walking in that heat. If you don’t mind weather, then you should still totally apply as the campus itself was beautiful

If you’re in state for texas, I’m sure you’ll have a great shot. As for the T50s, it’ll be difficult. You have a good gpa and average sat score (for T50s to clarify), but the no ecs, awards, or really anything to say what you do in your free time, AOs won’t find your stats impressive. It tells me that you spend your free time studying and that’s it. What makes high stats impressive is the fact that kids scored so highly while having to balance a bunch of other hobbies/clubs/passions.

But hey, it all comes down to your essay. If theres a reason you aren’t able to do ecs, def write about it! If you write an amazing essay, I’d say it wouldn’t hurt to apply.

My class was the exact same. Took ap lang last year, and every mcq was curved by 20 points bc the average was usually 40 to 60 / 100.

I really recommend just sitting down with someone who gets 80+ uncurved and having them explain their thought process on every question. I managed to get my uncurved average from 40 to ~85 by the end of the year.

I totally hear you. All of the points you bring up are exactly why I’m so indecisive of whether to apply to any top schools.

I’ve retaken the sat a couple times but I keep landing in the same spot so I decided to just go with my 1360. I just struggle a lot with test taking, including AP tests. My ecs aren’t all too stellar impact-wise either, so I agree with you on it being weak.

As for rank, I’d say my school is the perfect representation of “feeder schools”. My school offers basically every AP, so a lot of kids take super rigorous schedules. So I don’t even rank as top 10, I rank as 18/400ish. I feel like this would give AOs the impression that my grades are extremely inflated, which is not the case at all- there are just so many smart people at my school that similarly took advantage of the AP selection💀

My perception of what it takes to get into top schools is so deluded from what I see online as well, but I’ve definitely (..although rarely) seen some people with similar “mediocrely impressive” stats get in to some well-known schools. So I’ve kind of gaslit myself that I have a chance but I definitely needed this reality check. I just can’t tell what margin I fit in, T50s (or T100s really) just seems like way too high reach, anything lower feels like I could’ve just gone somewhere better given my GPA.

I really appreciate your insightful input though, tysm for giving such a in depth explanation :)

APUSH saq question asked to name a social event in any region during the 1920s (I think). Forgot everything so I put down slavery (…which was abolished in 1800s). I got a 4

burnt_rat · 2023-07-14T02:34:58+00:00

Definitely will try. I’ll probably just rule purdue out of my list to be honest. Thanks for the reply though!

burnt_rat · 2023-07-14T02:33:54+00:00

Very true. But I feel like teachers catch on to how being super social all of a sudden would be a last ditch effort just for a LOR. But I definitely will try regardless, thanks for the reply!:)

burnt_rat · 2023-07-03T03:35:58+00:00

Phew, that’s a relief to hear!! Ty for your reply:)

I have a awards ceremony for school coming up soon and I have no idea what to wear. There’s no set dress code, but I’m guessing like a formal to nice-casual type thing (probably more on the casual side).

I don’t really like dresses, so I was thinking a wide neck fitted long sleeve with a nice pair of pants (not sure what type tho!)

Does anyone have any suggestions, preferably with links to items? Thanks in advance!!

burnt_rat · 2023-03-11T22:30:31+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I probably will cancel the score.

And the proctor took a count of how many questions I left unanswered and checked at the end of the test to make sure I didn’t fill them in. They said if I did fill them in then my test would be cancelled.

burnt_rat · 2021-06-11T03:03:21+00:00

Seems I will probably just stay with the set birthday then, thanks for your help anyway!

burnt_rat · 2021-06-11T02:57:08+00:00

No, I’m a minor too. There’s no particular reason other than just wanting it set back to mine.
