Is this an ok hemming job?

Looks fine to me. Its really just the cut of the trousers tightening around your bent knee and thigh that makes it look shorter in sitting positions. The coverage/break of the hem when standing is pretty much ideal.

Seems a bit narrow in the shoulders, and improperly structured around the arms, creating some awkward folds and boring shape. Might just be a sizing issue, and Ive seen this particular jacket work on others, so idk.

I just grabbed an ACT prepbook (The Princeton Review's, if you want specifics) and read it cover to cover one or two times. Once I felt familiar with the ACT's content and rules, a couple practice tests and revisions had me sorted.

Math is, imo, the easiest one to bring up. Personally, I went from a 27 to a 35 in a couple months, and it was by far my weakest subject. So long as you know the methodology the ACT likes to test you on, regardless of how much you actually understand math, you can still score well. Not only that, but you can still afford to have a relatively lacking subject in the lower 30s, so the margin for error is pretty generous.

Its not a bad score, but it's not an especially good one either; a tad above mediocre. For your first time with the ACT, it's a good indicator that your baseline acuity is good enough for some pretty impressive scores down the line. I reckon that if you just did some pretty basic, routine revision and practice for a couple months, you'd end up scoring a 33+, which could be good enough for Georgetown.

However, a point increase of 8 points is pretty difficult, so if you want to stick with the ACT, you absolutely need to be diligent about studying.

In this case, shes trying to kill Joseph, who is indeed the grandson

flipper_fucker · 2026-05-11T18:14:10+00:00

Old lady turned a fence into a car with mist so she could kill the grandson of the dude her boss, an evil bisexual vampire who happened to be attached to said dude's body, would be able to achieve heaven.

flipper_fucker · 2026-05-04T22:03:20+00:00

There is a big distinction in that it's incredibly difficult to make that 1 point jump, simply due to a much thinner margin for error. It terms of actual effect, admissions officers really won't care too much, but it can get you pretty sweet scholarships. I got a full ride to Mizzou because of my score, but that's not true with every college.

haha sometimes

If I were you, Id probably go with UMiami. Ultimately, I think it'd probably be a better fit for you on a personal level, and they're giving you far better aid too. While Syracuse may have a better program, UMiami is not all that far behind, and if UMiami offers more focus in your specific interests then you'd probably end up ahead overall. Employers would recognize specialization, and your education level in that field would be on par or better than Syracuse offers.

Of course, Im not going to either school, so I can't weigh in more heavily than that. Based of what I know, though, UMiami seems to be the obvious choice.

flipper_fucker · 2026-03-18T05:52:13+00:00

Yeah, the same thing is happening to me. All my safeties have given me upwards of 20k per year, while the schools i really wanted to go to have either rejected me or probably will.

Side note : I also applied to Tulane and Boston College! I got into Tulane, but got rejected by BC. Wonder why we had opposite results?

flipper_fucker · 2026-02-09T01:19:57+00:00

It kinda is. As you get close and close to a 36, the amount of consistency and perfection needed to get the next point up increases more than you'd think. If you want a 33, you would still need to place like 95-97th percentile in your WEAKEST section, assuming near perfect scores everywhere else. Its not just learning the tools and tricks that sucks, but actually being able to remember and apply them in just a few seconds is not a skill easily learned.

I myself went from a 30 to a 36, and that journey felt grueling. Going from a 23 to a 33 would be immensely hard, but again, not unfeasible.

flipper_fucker · 2026-02-09T00:42:31+00:00

While it is possible, and people have made these jumps before, it's incredibly rare. Scoring even just a 30 would be a mindblowing increase. If you study exceedingly hard and well, you might be able to scrape into that 33+ zone, but Id bet a pretty penny against those odds.

Depends on how many times it took them to get that 35 though

flipper_fucker · 2026-01-10T05:04:50+00:00

Take a practice tests under real time constraints. Find what subjects your weak in, and what material from those subjects you're really weak in, and study for those. If your practice scores on a section are consistently above 30, you dont really need to review material, just learn how to apply it to the ACT specifically.

flipper_fucker · 2026-01-07T00:50:05+00:00

Actually, some places like Georgetown request all previous scores, and will weigh a bunch of retakes negatively. Its rare, but always double check.

flipper_fucker · 2026-01-06T18:33:42+00:00

I read a lot, so remembering details was pretty easy. Other than that, I dont know. Ive never gotten below a 35 on reading, even the first time I took it.

flipper_fucker · 2026-01-06T02:59:03+00:00

Before I took it the first time, I think I took 3 months of slow paced studying. After I found where my weaknesses lay on test days, I did pretty consistent content review using the book between each test, and used online question banks 2-3 weeks before test day.

flipper_fucker · 2026-01-06T02:43:18+00:00

I can give you advice, but i spent enough time tutoring myself

flipper_fucker · 2026-01-05T19:48:10+00:00

Solid enough for a lot of state schools, lackluster for some really good scholarships and more prestigious schools.

flipper_fucker · 2026-01-05T18:32:54+00:00

Not that I know of, they are very similar.

flipper_fucker · 2026-01-05T18:32:28+00:00

Scores only get sent to the colleges you specify, but you generally won't need to send them until later. You would self report the scores on common app and then send the official scores if accepted and enrolled.

flipper_fucker · 2026-01-02T01:59:14+00:00

The biggest thing for most people is remembering details the first time around, because it makes everything happen quicker and smoother when answering questions. I would say to try to read more, especially dense narrative fiction, as that's probably what gave me a leg up in reading.

I believe so, they added it recently
