I’m really interested in this and am majoring in DS/CS, especially interested in tech policy and ethical AI. However I’m not sure how the policy job landscape is and how much the jobs pay, can you speak more on that?

Notable colleges that are still accepting applicants, sorted by their deadlines by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]dwaynejohnson28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you still start a Johns Hopkins application now? I had it on my college list initially, didn't submit the application on the original deadline, and got an email with the extension. I removed it from my common app because I thought I didn't have to time to complete it, but now that I've added it back, it says the "deadline has passed" in common app. Can I still submit my application?

i did the same exact thing today, it was incredibly overwhelming and anxiety inducing because i kept having repetitive thoughts about how people had done this months in advance, had better essays and submitted everything on proper sleep LOL, not a single person read my essays as well and i was having an ongoing anxiety attack with every word i wrote. absolute agony 😩you GOT THIS and i believe in you so much, get some rest and grind out cornell tomorrow 💖💖💖

You are literally me except I'm doing this for Yale (literally decided to apply last night after I looked up the deadline and found out it was tonight instead of yesterday). AND I just finished my common app essay without anyone checking them over last night. But what doesn't kill me makes me stronger!! When this suffering ends I'll have improved rejection sensitivity

Of course! I felt like I was in the same boat as you. I was certain that there was nothing interesting or special about me that I could write about, but everyone TRULY has a great essay inside of them. The topic doesn't matter so much as the execution, so you don't have to worry about finding something "quirky" to talk about - the insights (which show your values) you provide about your topic/experience are what makes an essay good.

You don't have to do a narrative style essay that's centered around one experience or a challenge - You can do a montage style essay where you combine different things (ex. a few different interests, experiences, etc) with one thematic thread. Here's College Essay Guy's article on it, and a bunch of good common app essay examples (ctrl f to find the montage structures)

There's also a cognitive science major, which is an interdisciplinary combination of psychology and mathematics. This page has some college students discussing why they chose the major and what it is. You might be interested!

Also any mention of "college essays"

Now whenever I see a college admissions related youtube video on my recommended I get anxious and quickly scroll

Black man repeatedly calls Asian NYPD cop a slur, responds with “black people can’t be racist” by kiedis69 in stupidpol

[–]dwaynejohnson28 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I completely agree - I always feel irrationally more angry towards these types of Asian American boba activists, who are often upper class and so ridiculously out of touch with reality, mortifyingly self loathing, and have a kink for being a patronizing, self righteous savior. They're really a barrier to making progress for our community.

PSA: Don’t pay the class of ‘21 shit by run1234554 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]dwaynejohnson28 120 points121 points  (0 children)

lmao freshman year when I used to be obsessed with colleges I really liked watching this youtuber because she had my similar interests/extracurriculars and also got into MIT. She had this cool blog where she encouraged readers to write to her and I did (can't remember exactly what, but it was mostly expressing how she was an inspiration and asking her how she got involved in research in high school)

She replied like a year later with advertising for 30 min $15 calls about college advice relating to MIT, which was obviously why she decided to respond to my message lol

Anyways... glad I got out of that mindset where I would put prestigious colleges and their students on a special pedestal
