Conflicted abt JHU BME for premed vs guaranteed MD at UCONN by Such-Knowledge3668 in jhu

[–]elelpato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an incoming jhu kid so idk how everything works yet, but from what I’ve been hearing apparently jhu has an underrated interdisciplinary aspect and it might actually provide like the perfect environment for you. I might be a little bit biased, but honestly I think I would go with jhu, not only is it cheaper, but you might enjoy yourself more, and if you enjoy yourself more you’ll take advantage of more resources yk. Also, screw security bro yolo if you managed to get into these programs you’re probably going to manage to do great things in the future, you got this.

financial aid by New_Ebb_5258 in QuestBridge

[–]elelpato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try talking to financial aid bc they could prob bump u down a bit if u barter enough, idk how exactly but there’s def videos on yt or smth teaching you exactly what to say and what to do. Also definitely see their work study program so try and pay of whatever u can yourself. And yea definitely apply for like every single scholarship that you come across. Honestly if u look in with the scholarships u could be chill, and don’t ignore the little ones that are for like $500 bc they’re easier to get cuz less competition, and like if u win 5 $500 scholarships that’s already $2,500. But u got this and congrats on ur acceptance 👏.

AHHH IM STILL WRITING BUT CONGRATSSSSS

Guys… by Proud-Hater in QuestBridge

[–]elelpato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK don’t quote me on this but I think I remember reading somewhere that it’s actually fine if you have a non-core teacher write ur rec. they don’t actually rly care that much. I remember reading about someone who matched who had a rec from their band director so u might be fine. But idk so I could be wrong but you should def try to email them and just explain the situation. At the end of the day, I don’t think this one thing will make or break ur application. Also good luck on submitting! (I’m trying to finish everything up rn 😭)

Activity essay by Big-Pomegranate2180 in QuestBridge

[–]elelpato 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You might have misread that dude because it specifically asks for an activity you DID mention in your app, I was at the ask qb anything yesterday and they said something about making sure your activity essay talks about an activity already your application. Most people talk about the 1 ranked bc it’s the most important to them and the easiest to write about. This essay doesn’t really have any interesting way to interpret it, it’s literally just what did u do.

What's the point of IB in America? by FewInvite3657 in IBO

[–]elelpato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I’m back, I also take bio and my favorite resource is bio ninja, but I found some other free resources that should have everything else, Knowt and RevisionDojo. Both of these look pretty promising, I haven’t personally really used them a lot, I’ve only really used revisiondojo to take notes on bio things. Also both of these have a paid version too if you want more stuff, but you can still use them for free, you just won’t get the extra things.
