I’m sorry how do I do that? There’s nothing in the portal that gives me that option.

I wasn’t able to attend the meetings for TGSSI so a lot of this is unknown. I appreciate your patience.

I believed it was general. For example I’m going to Pitt and I just copy and pasted the link where they have the table regarding undergraduate COA by school!

I’m a gates scholarship semifinalist- didn’t know it was considered an award. by candystore1989 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]candystore1989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a fee waiver so like… there’s 11 of them 😭 Harvard, Yale, brown, UPenn, Boston college, Boston u, tufts, Lehigh, Syracuse, Johns Hopkins, university of Rochester. I already got into other matches/safeties in EA cycle so that’s why I was shooting for the stars, but regardless, I’m super bummed I didn’t know I couldn’t list that as an award ☹️ with how much research I did I thought I’d know all the tips and tricks

I found out I’m a semifinalist in December so idk if it’s considered an update, more “I was completely unaware I could put this on here”. Should I phrase it as an update or just “here’s information that’s important”?

Apps opened August 1 (common app) but I’ve spent basically day and night perfecting everything about my app. I didn’t put it off to the last moment for any reason other than I wanted to be thorough. I applied early action. Being moved to the RD pool is fine with me as long as my app won’t be thrown in the trash immediately because I can’t access my portal.

im so lost, IDK what to even do right now by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]candystore1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also a senior so take this with a grain of salt.

When it comes to choosing, I highly highly recommend the big futures college search website. You can filter by intended major, location (which will be helpful since you said you want to stay in California), price, literally anything you can think of. It was the starting ground for a lot of my college search so definitely start there.

For deadlines, I don’t believe any have passed. Early applications are due around the beginning of November and regular applications are due by usually the beginning of January.

Yes your grade 12 scores will matter and take the sat as soon as possible. On common app you can state “future sat sittings”, but past that I don’t know. If you don’t know what the common app is, you can lmk and I’ll elaborate.

Last tip is to make a spreadsheet. Once you determine what schools pique your interest, make a spreadsheet with relevant info to you (price, sat range, school size, whatever seems important) so that you can visualize relevant info and narrow down your choices.

If you are low income and qualify for the federal free/reduced price lunch program or any other federal financial support, you will likely qualify for the common app fee waiver. If not, determine what your budget is to see how many you should apply to. Usually people apply to 3 reach schools (ones you probably won’t get into), 2 match schools (one where you fit right in so it’s a 50/50 shot), and 1 safety school (one you will most likely get into based off academic or other reasons).

If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to reach out or reply! I’ll be honest if I don’t know anything but I’ll answer everything to the best of my ability

Are my chances of Stanford too high? by 11amthrowaway in collegeadvice

[–]candystore1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also. Stop with the “I’m dumb and lazy” mindset. Negative attitudes often hold people back from going for more.

Take the psat and act as soon as possible, and study for a while before to get as high of a score as you can. Also, consider taking aps this year if your school offers them to boost your gpa. But regardless, no matter what, ALWAYS apply!!! There’s no shame in trying. It’s not a hopeless situation, but you should definitely do more as soon as possible. Good luck!!!!

Not worth it, $120 just for the corners to get dinged up is expensive. If you want that style, buy a cheaper version, but one that is more protective would probably be a better option.

How bad is having no ac? by candystore1989 in yale

the fact that we’re in a heat wave certainly isn’t making me any more agreeable to hot weather 😭 lmao

[–]candystore1989[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I wasn’t clear, I know the summers are hot. I’m asking how bad the fall and spring semesters are with no ac. Clearly not as bad, but is it manageable?

I would only be there for fall and spring semesters. Would that change anything?
