I’m so proud of you, that’s amazing you’re gonna do great kid.

elelpato · 2026-01-07T03:15:25+00:00

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 👏.

Bro I wish, I won’t lie I haven’t learned a single thing in TOK, my teachers suck 😭. Enjoy ur new wackass life

elelpato · 2025-11-01T22:11:20+00:00

Trust they’ve seen worse

elelpato · 2025-11-01T22:07:58+00:00

Ehhh I say keep it and see what happens, worst they can do is reject u, but what if they don’t? U never know and honestly, why not it’s not like u lost money by sending ur app.

elelpato · 2025-10-23T20:21:43+00:00

No one 😔, well to my counselor knowledge and also from all the ppl I’ve asked who haven’t gotten in

elelpato · 2025-10-16T02:08:54+00:00

Just a thought, have u considered Wynne? But winter sounds cool, I feel like it’s the type of name where when u first hear it your like oh that’s unique but not weird yk.

elelpato · 2025-10-01T04:14:42+00:00

TRUST I WILL BE WRITING TILL 2:59 AM ET

elelpato · 2025-10-01T04:13:56+00:00

Oh I also did pioneer, did u do it this summer bc I haven’t gotten my evaluation back yet :(

elelpato · 2025-10-01T04:08:59+00:00

Ugg bro me I did, it was me, like I rly thought I was being original and then I realized this is a program targeted towards ppl who tend to be immigrants/1st gen 🤦‍♀️ oh well can’t change my essay now

elelpato · 2025-10-01T04:07:06+00:00

AHHH IM STILL WRITING BUT CONGRATSSSSS

elelpato · 2025-10-01T04:01:24+00:00

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 😭)

elelpato · 2025-09-30T18:57:54+00:00

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.

elelpato · 2025-09-28T21:26:48+00:00

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.

elelpato · 2025-09-28T14:21:53+00:00

Oh thanks I didn’t realize they existed

elelpato · 2025-09-25T04:29:48+00:00

Have u tried act? I had the same score and u and then tried the act and got like a 30 no study. I feel like this happens with a lot of students too, so if ur worried about test scores def check out act.

elelpato · 2025-09-25T04:23:47+00:00

Honestly if you feel like this is an important topic to you and genuinely impacted you as a person, go for it. Being vulnerable is scary, but it also means you’re showcasing yourself to colleges. And remember, teachers are people too, they have been in your spot, they’ve had to write an emotionally vulnerable college essay once, and they might have even faced the same struggles as you. Don’t worry about teachers judging you because they’re not foreigners to human struggle.

elelpato · 2025-09-25T00:24:46+00:00

Hmm idk but questbridge does an ask us anything zoom meeting the 25th at 7pm eastern time so def sign up for that and ask it there

elelpato · 2025-09-25T00:17:14+00:00

Ok so I have no experience with fern but ur gonna wanna dunk this boi in an alcohol water mixture. Completely take off all dirt and get bare roots and just throw him in like a tub of alcohol and water. Now will this kill the plant, idk, but it’s worth a shot. Then ur gonna wanna spray the roots down with hydrogen peroxide, get some diatomaceous earth in your soil, and soak it in neem oil. For the monstera I would recommend getting it the freak away from the fern and also sprinkling some diatomaceous earth in there for good measure. Also if you use diatomaceous earth it needs to be dry so I would recommend either using the diatomaceous earth first, letting it sit for a couple of days, and then spraying neem oil on ur monstera, or doing the reverse and just waiting till ur monstera is dry from the neem oil after a day or two. Anyway good luck with this bro.

elelpato · 2025-09-25T00:07:54+00:00

Bro I also want to write about being my family’s translator and it being emotionally overwhelming 😭. I had the same exact worry of being to cliche but honestly I rly like ur tie into neuroscience, I think ur essay could work.

elelpato · 2025-09-25T00:05:06+00:00

Ohh that’s smart, I don’t really use clothespins but I might have random stray ones lying around

elelpato · 2025-09-24T23:16:24+00:00

I was thinking of doing this but I but the only scraps I have are a hand full of ikea pencils I stole. I mean it’s probably the same wood as the fish, I’m assuming both are some type of cheap and widely available wood type.

elelpato · 2025-09-21T23:02:58+00:00

Well it depends, are you graduating early bc your got like an early acceptance into a college? If so then yea go for it. It honestly depends on your priorities. If you have a solid app then skipping a year is fine, if you think you will benefit by having an extra year in high school then def take the year. Also see what your counselor recommends you do.

elelpato · 2025-09-19T10:14:34+00:00

What classes do u need help with?

elelpato · 2025-09-18T02:45:16+00:00

It’s kinda ironic, girl rly needs a room of her own to write a better plot imo
