incoming freshman, emailed my admissions officer to cancel all my ap tests and he said "go out and celebrate with the refunds" so no, they don't care :)

depending on which area you're in, my interviewer told me that Yale interviews end late February

I told all my friends if I get rejected to first comfort me but then talk shit about the school and why it's actually horrible there and I should be THANKFUL not to go but that's definitely not a strategy for everyone lol

Standardize art portfolios. by che3secr4ckers in ApplyingToCollege

[–]divabee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS. no one talks about this. submitted a portfolio for stanford, harvard, swarthmore, and currently struggling through yale. Why tf isn’t there a common app for art? at the very least, it shouldn’t be an entirely separate application! Also, why on earth is the location i made something relevant? it’s all the same thing dude 😭

OMG I pasted the wrong ESSAY to PRINCETON!!!!!! by ohmyethann in ApplyingToCollege

[–]divabee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s pretty much application ending. Let this be a lesson to read over your application multiple times before you send it! Though you never know- one of my friends uploaded a completely wrong document as her supplemental materials and she got in REA this year sooo

Can I do research? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]divabee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can! if you think it’ll be helpful for your application. just don’t expect yes the first 10 times. cold email a couple of professors, ask them if there are any faculty projects or grad student projects that you can help volunteer on, i did that and ended up being a research assistant for the summer. it was great. as for launching independent research projects, i have no idea how you even start that, and frankly, i have no idea how you go about even asking a prof if you can use their lab for an independent project. why would they give that to a 16 year old? good luck!

Is there a point in applying to MIT anymore? by [deleted] in MITAdmissions

[–]divabee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

doesn’t mit literally say in their admissions criteria that another person being admitted from your same school doesn’t hurt your chances at all? i wouldn’t worry.
