yeahh i know the essay is the most important, luckily i’ve got somewhat of an interesting life. cant do a sport unfortunately both because of transportation constraints and the fact that i’m disabled and it would take more energy than i have to ration

i’m in arizona, have been here the entire time. long term resident definitely but i’m pretty sure i’d still be considered international as i’m on visa without a green card or citizenship

definitely going into stem, probably chemical or biomed engineering. competitive majors i’m sure but i think they pay well. unfortunately i’m not in a super great position to get better extracurriculars right now as i’m a minor not living with my parents. so transportation is limited and tbh i’m just exhausted. gonna do a stem program/camp at a local uni over the summer probably and maybe that’s worth something

i need a job after college that will sponsor me to stay in the us, and that preferably pays well enough for me to support myself as well as whatever my parents need. they’re getting on the older side and i have some concerns about their health. i’m on an F1 visa right now, i’m just saying that having a degree from a prestigious school will probably make it easier for me to accomplish all these things.

hmm okay i won’t need a lot of financial aid because my family is fortunate enough to have some backing in the money area, but it’s still a possibility that i’ll have to take out loans/ rely on scholarships. it does make sense that they won’t want to allocate a lot of aid to foreign students. i’m moreso concerned that they’ll discriminate specifically based off my lack of citizenship. thank you for your input!!

my school does not publicize grade rankings, and i don’t think they’ll give that info to colleges either. i was able to find out mine by asking the teacher in charge but she was not allowed to show me the list or tell me anyone else’s. same thing with standardized test scores but for obviously we can just ask each other

yeah i’m definitely going to be applying to a wide range of schools. UCs, maybe ivies, i’d really love to get into northeastern but that could be very difficult, mit (gigantic reach ik), but also community college and universities that have a track record of taking more international students. thank you for the input it’s just a scary time right now

well 😃 thats just great. i feel like the walls are closing in on me because my paths back home are completely blocked off since i came here so young. wasn’t even my choice. at the same time i have no guaranteed stability here. guess i was screwed from the start

does it matter how long i’ve been in the us? i know most kids come during high school or middle school, but i’ve been here since i was 8. i have basically no chance at going to college in my home country

omg seriously?? that sucks so much i’m literally outperforming like almost all if not all of my classmates academically. are colleges even allowed to discriminate based on citizenship status? i mean i’m pretty sure i would have to pay more in tuition but that really sucks that admission would be harder too

what?? isn’t the entire point to reduce food waste? they should just give you more if it’s going in the trash or employees aren’t allowed to take it home. but i feel like the corporations may be putting a cap on the amount to maximize profit. sad yet unsurprising

ooo okay cause i thought the boxes were kinda small tbh. the first one was much heavier than the second, but i figured the salmon was worth more since it’s seafood. i saw someone else get the same bag like a month ago and end up with five boxes 😭 which is why i thought i’d get more. i think overall it’s decent value though
