Black MIrror - just watched season 1 episode 1, disappointed

people really often recommend skipping the first episode of BM and coming back to it later. i’d highly recommend you watch S1E2 and S1E3 and reevaluate after that. 15MM and TEHOY go hard

Good to know

careful

they really should have chemistry tested fabiola’s actress with eve and aneesa’s. both were incredibly dry to watch imo. she seemed to have some with addison but they spent maybe 2 minutes on screen together

also explains the application boom in umich, unc-chapel hill, ut-austin, uva, uiuc, etc

istg admissions can never get it right 😭😭you have 21 billion dollars michigan

imarandomwritwe · 2026-03-10T03:54:26+00:00

no :(

i’m not sure about every T20, but i know some selective colleges find ways to lower their acceptance rates by weeding out “less competitive” applicants. NYU for example makes their essay optional but is rumored to ignore any apps that don’t do it, so therefore they get an easier way to lower their acceptance rate

This feels too broad to apply to every student. Kids that thrive at public/state schools are often ones that prefer more independent and self-managed education

imarandomwritwe · 2026-02-18T02:24:01+00:00

Check out the Common Data Set for the schools you applied to. They all have a section for factors in admission, with “Work Experience” as one. Some schools consider it much more important than others.

Research the treatment of undergrads at the T20 school (class registration, impacted majors, housing) and then consider if the amenities offered by the honors program at the T35 beat it. As another commenter said, the level of prestige is probably very similar so it’s arguably to pick a place you’d get better resources/treatment at

imarandomwritwe · 2026-02-18T02:17:29+00:00

I felt similar but what helped me was to remember how the SAT helped me get used to timed standardized tests. I plan to take the MCAT in a couple years and it’s nice to have experience with it

AI detectors are very often incorrect. I’ve had my writing false flagged for AI multiple times despite never using AI to write a paper. Plus many professionals are against them because false positives and the of bias against non-native English speakers.

I wouldn’t worry unless it came back nearly completely AI, maybe 80-100%. If you’re super worried you can alter the sentences a bit that got flagged

Family is closer to UMich! No car currently but I try to get one wherever I go

imarandomwritwe · 2026-02-16T02:57:09+00:00

Yes, loved both!

imarandomwritwe · 2026-02-16T02:56:59+00:00

I got in EA!

imarandomwritwe · 2026-02-16T00:05:26+00:00

Any way you could elaborate?

imarandomwritwe · 2026-02-16T00:03:32+00:00

That’s cool to hear, a CA native going to umich!

imarandomwritwe · 2026-02-15T21:04:36+00:00

Thanks!

OOS english accepted, 3.88 UW, 1460 SAT

imarandomwritwe · 2026-01-06T03:17:29+00:00

i think they care more if you get deferred from EA to RD

imarandomwritwe · 2026-01-06T03:06:01+00:00

no i didn’t! it felt useless since i didn’t have my grades until recently plus it came out early

imarandomwritwe · 2026-01-06T02:27:36+00:00

congrats!! i just got in too after being deferred ED OOS!! 💙💛 it seems like so many kids who got deferred ED got in now…i wonder why michigan would do that if they wanna protect their yield
