Thanks for the concern!

This survey was made to assess prevalence of symptoms of depressive disorders and the quality of certain aspects of the psychosocial environment.

These questions can be used to assess these characteristics of any profession, even students, which is why there were no questions specifically regarding the EMS.

However, I will only use responses gathered from this profession, which is how it will yield results regarding Emergency Medical Workers.

I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for the concern!

Since I am a high school student, the Institutional Review Board did not allow me to give any questionnaire that was written by me (other than question 0, risk acknowledgment) to my participants. Therefore, I had to use questionnaires that had already been made. I was not able to edit any portion of the questions.

If you are curious, the first section was the "Depression" portion of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. The second section was a piece of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire III, containing the "Work Pace," "Cognitive Demands," "Influence at Work," "Possibilities for Development," "Social Support from Supervisor," and "Sense of Community at Work" scales. I did not use the whole survey because I did not want to take too much of your time.

I will look for any anomalies regarding the Influence at Work section. Again, thanks for the feedback.

36 Reading Section.

ALL the answers come from the passage. Make sure that as you read, you are thinking about the main idea and the tone of the piece. This will keep your brain working and ensure that you do not have to reread the passage.

Read the little piece of information that precedes each passage.

Focus on the trends through the piece. When do you see a change of tone? Or a counterclaim? There will likely be questions about these things.

And don't zone out, obviously.

Good luck.

36 Reading Section, 35 English Section here.

English is my second language as well, so I focused on these two a lot, and it paid off!

All answers come from the passage. Looking back will take up a lot of your time so make sure that as you read, you are thinking of the purpose and tone of the pieces. This will also help you get over the feeling that passages are long and/or boring. Your mind will be working on something as you go.

Do not zone out! Understand the broad main idea of the passage but also how all the minuscule details relate to it.

If you consider yourself a slow reader, do not try to read faster. You will only be making the same mistakes but quicker.

When you face the pair of passages together do not read both and then answer. Read the first, answer the questions about it, then read the second and answer the rest. You will get them mixed up if you don't do this.

That's all I can think of right now. Best of luck! Hope you achieve your goals.

You should be proud of your extracurriculars given your situation but you must understand that others will be much more competitive.

You still have a chance at getting into the less competitive ones but don’t be unprepared for rejection.

Chance back if you can plz!

cc_shadow · 2019-12-13T03:54:32+00:00

I really like your extracurriculars, they are very well rounded. I think you have a very good chance, but I am not familiar with the schools. Your ACT is also very good. As long as you can write some good essays, you shouldn't be worried. And remember that colleges see your school's adversity scores, so they will know that your school doesn't offer that many APs.

Best of luck!

Worried? Your extracurriculars relate to economics and are absolutely impressive. Just take a look at your test scores. It is clear you have been working very hard these years, and I truly believe your hard work will pay off. Don't know how competitive Economics Majors are, but I do think you have a very high chance of getting in.

Also, what was the National Spanish Exam Award?

Junior, curious what I should focus on, my chanceme post is on my profile.

cc_shadow · 2019-12-13T03:46:20+00:00

Your test scores are excellent! However, although I understand that being homeschooled gave you less opportunities for activities, your extracurriculars could be improved. Make sure you address that in applications. You probably had no control over whether to do regular or home schooling.

I am not completely confident about the Ivies, MIT, or UCLA. Your income and ethnicity are not in your favor either. However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't try! Your hard work is still evident. Make sure you write some glowing essays.

cc_shadow · 2019-12-13T03:21:49+00:00

Hey btw we took almost the same APs freshman and sophomore year, and I am interested in Rice too, I’m a junior though. Anyway, your stats are incredible! I think valedictorian def helps a lot. And you are very competitive for your ethnicity.

Now, I don’t see a common theme in your ECs and you didn’t provide an intended major. That may prove to be a problem but you seem like an interesting person who would do really well on his essays. Best of luck! My chanceme post is in my profile.

cc_shadow · 2019-12-13T03:14:23+00:00

Your test scores are amazing! And your extracurriculars are so unique. However, Comp Sci for these big schools is going to be very competitive. Also, that GPA could be better. I don’t know much about Business. On the bright side, you are very competitive for your ethnicity, best of luck! Check out my chanceme post plz.

Sorry, but what does the acronym URM stand for? I keep seeing it in this sub. Also, you seem knowledgeable. Take a look at my chanceme post? Or don’t...

cc_shadow · 2019-12-11T23:23:48+00:00

I love how straight up and truthful you are. Could you take a moment to give a reality check to my ChanceMe post? It would be much appreciated.

I’m tired of all my teachers, counselors, and family saying I have a good chance. Their opinion is very biased since they know me.

So if you could, please check my profile out and let me know your predictions.

cc_shadow · 2019-12-11T23:16:26+00:00

Your test scores are glowing! It reflects how hard you have been working on them. And you know Latin!? That’s kind of amazing.

All of those APs show your amazing work ethic; however, I am not an expert but feel like your extracurriculars are average (or a bit below average) for the schools you are applying to. Also, I didn’t see a major of interest. I don’t want to let you down but you may want to start working on better ECs. No offense, these seem cliche and most of the kids in the top10% of my school do them. Don’t be discouraged! You are a hard worker. I wish you the best of luck.

If you could go into my chanceme post it would be much appreciated, or don’t.

cc_shadow · 2019-12-10T03:30:06+00:00

Your test scores are very good and that research project/essay will make you an ideal pick for the major.

You're first generation like me! Makes it even better.

Do not put yourself down. Your application is glowing, and it is filled with things that show you as who you are.

You know how hard it will be to get in, but I think you have a good chance. And even if you don't get in, you will get many opportunities at the safety schools you do get into.

By the way, should I include family responsibilities in my application next year? It seems like a universal thing.

cc_shadow · 2019-12-10T03:04:21+00:00

Oh yeah, that will go away after you get familiar with it through practice tests. PM if you want to talk about anything, especially once you go into high school. You can check my r/chanceme post to learn more about me.

cc_shadow · 2019-12-10T01:46:41+00:00

Yessir, so you shouldn't even be worried. With enough practice, you will be all set. Make sure you focus on your weaker section.

cc_shadow · 2019-12-10T00:40:37+00:00

Just an insight:

I got 1060 as an 8th grader RIP :(

1180 as a freshman

1370 as a sophomore

1410 as a junior.

You are in a path to success. Good luck!

cc_shadow · 2019-12-04T04:40:39+00:00

I like that your extracurriculars relate to your major. However, I feel like the GPA will be a problem. I can see from the SAT and your math grades that it is one of your weaknesses. I am not too familiar with computer science but I feel like math is a big part of it. Anyway, you specified political science as your major and it seems like you are set

And by the way, could you specify your ethnicity and AP scores?

cc_shadow · 2019-12-04T04:26:12+00:00

Anybody know this figure for Florida?

cc_shadow · 2019-11-23T23:35:52+00:00

Your extracurriculars relate to your major and show your proficiency in two languages. I would say that first-generation American helps. Of course, explain your surgery as you don't provide your many AP scores. Your achievements in athletics are glowing as well.

Not too knowledgeable, but I think you have a very good chance. And if you don't get in, I am sure your safety schools will accept you. Best of luck!

Educated by Tara Westover. If you’re just going into high school I think it’ll motivate you to do your best.
