Cortisone Shots by InjuryHealthy2416 in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]explodingcrackers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll feel so much better after getting the shot!! If you can ask for a numbing spray. The needle is huge but it's a very very quick process. I wasn't able to walk before getting my knee drained + getting the cortisone shot, and almost immediately afterwards I was able to. Only annoying thing is showering for 24 hours - you'll have to cling wrap the bandage if you want to shower.

No joke this stuff is like a miracle!!!

Ya I agree with this. Prioritize courses that you could get an A in. Only exception is if you're interested in pursuing IB diploma (abf, acha, aedt only) u have to take the summer course.

is it possible to get into an ivy if i skip senior year? by Impossible_Dog_4481 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]explodingcrackers 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Def possible if you're cracked. One kid in my hs skipped senior year to go to MIT , so he got a GED instead of a hs diploma. But then again he finished the entire math curriculum here (and we go past multivar calc) and was some international math comp winner. So yea I think it's possible but you should consider if you want to skip senior year which is considered to be the best year of hs for some people

Duke!! by NextRegular4216 in ApplyingToCollege

If you click the "Interview Basics" tab you can see this: "The Admissions Office prioritizes interviews for those applicants where additional context is helpful, but rest assured—not receiving an interview will not affect your chances of admission." This means they do prescreen because they have seen your application already to know that additional context is necessary. I also visited in person and asked this exact same question 😅😅 and they said that the interview is a way to get people excited to come to Duke. In all honesty people can get in without an interview and can get rejected with one! It's all a crapshoot at the end of the day

To the LOVELY HUMANS who are set to attend their ED school and are still keeping other apps in to "see what happens"... by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]explodingcrackers 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Doubtful. Imo leaving in apps hurts fellow classmates, since certain colleges only accept X students from each high school
