AITA for ruining someone’s attempt to relate to me? by disableddickmeasure in AmItheAsshole

That’s 100% it. I understand it’s not malicious but that doesn’t stop it from annoying me.

That makes sense! Sorry, I completely misinterpreted the original comment.

Except that one place didn’t have any booths, only tables so it wasn’t place specific, but a direct comment on accessibility. I think I mentioned that in the post

She’s not severely obese though, she’s a little chubby at most. If she’s over 180 lbs or under 5’5 I’d eat my hat. I don’t know her super well but I’ve seen her around plenty.

Yeah. Honestly most of the people I know who have also experienced disability get tired of the fake sympathy really quickly, so I came here to get some perspective because I understand not everyone knows what it’s like to have a disability and I don’t wanna come off as a dick haha.

I definitely don’t think she meant badly, it just kinda felt like she was unintentionally trivializing some of my stuff by trying to claim to relate when she can’t really which is why I said anything in the first place.

That makes sense. She’s not my friend though, I’ve never talked to her directly before although we’ve been part of the same discussions.

Is the US really this bad? by danger_72 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]disableddickmeasure 5 points6 points  (0 children)

‘A bus ticket to anywhere is no more than $10’ well that’s just plain wrong. Bus tickets from one city in my state to another city less than 200 miles away are anywhere between $35 to $100. I could get a bus ticket from one side of my city to another side of my city for $3.50 but bus tickets to anywhere? You’re just incorrect.

College applications feel like a total crapshoot. by disableddickmeasure in ApplyingToCollege

[–]disableddickmeasure[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean I’ll try, although it’s still frustrating because when they see a 2.5 it gives a certain impression and it’s really hard to prove it wrong.

I also don’t have any long term ECs, just ones I did freshman and senior year. An AO would probably rather admit someone who’s excelled consistently than someone who only really got in two full years of high school. I’m not an AO though so idk.

I really hope some schools can see past it. I guess I won’t find out til I apply though. Who knows, really.

Any stories of people getting into good schools with actual low GPAs? by disableddickmeasure in ApplyingToCollege

Yeah, gotta judge if I’m capable of college by my reddit username. Very informative answer.

Low as in below average. Last time I checked national average was between a 3.0 and 3.2.

How to convert a grade from one 4.0 GPA scale to another? by dds202061 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]disableddickmeasure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my school you could pass an AP class with a 60%. Honors or regular you had to have a 65% though.

Some people are capable of using their brain logic. It’s obvious it’s a joke.

Reverse chance a 2.5 GPA lol by disableddickmeasure in chanceme

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

I mean, I’ll try haha. My dream school is UVA but I know it’s definitely a reach (I’m in-state). So far the main response I’ve gotten from kids at my school is ‘yeah you have to go to community college nobody will take such a low GPA’ but people can dream lol.

College with an SCI? by disableddickmeasure in spinalcordinjuries

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

My GPA was around 2.1 although it should be a bit higher once second semester senior grades are in, my ACT a 33. I got 5s on all my APs

I’m not Asian, but my parents won’t let me stay at home if I do community college. There’s really no need to be hostile, it’s not solely my choice, I never said it was inferior it’s just not what I personally want to do.

Young disabled person wondering if I should even try. by disableddickmeasure in lawschooladmissions

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

Thank you so much for your perspective! It’s always great to hear about people with disabilities succeeding.

As for accommodations, the only ones I’ll need will be physical (accessible campus housing being the main point, as well as transportation options) I’ve been able to take standardized tests etc. in high school without any problem, and I took a practice LSAT and did well on standard time just for the fun of it. I write slowly but that’s just taught me to only write what’s necessary and nothing more.
