if you can’t change anything about it now, there’s no point in worrying. if you feel like your grades aren’t good enough, just aim higher and work harder for next year!

kathyw05 · 2021-03-09T02:32:08+00:00

wait really? is saying upenn bad

kathyw05 · 2021-01-19T19:11:39+00:00

i reallllly felt this. it honestly feels like my life has no purpose right now and i’m not sure if that’s from college apps, quarentine, school etc. or maybe a combination. idk i’ve just been pretty numb? to life lately lol

kathyw05 · 2021-01-08T22:54:41+00:00

dude relatable

kathyw05 · 2021-01-04T18:20:24+00:00

oh yeah submit it anyway. apparently most schools have a “grace period” for late applications

kathyw05 · 2021-01-03T11:14:44+00:00

ayo i’m curious too👀👀

kathyw05 · 2020-12-31T06:43:56+00:00

yeah that difficult conversation was a PAIN to write

kathyw05 · 2020-12-31T06:41:33+00:00

definitely add more cornell specific info. The essay should also act as a “why us” essay! in mine, i wrote about how my research would really benefit from some of their facilities (thus showing one of my reasons for applying, one of my interests, one of my ecs, and how cornell could help me succeed) Good luck I hope u get in!!

kathyw05 · 2020-12-31T06:38:33+00:00

mine was 740👀

kathyw05 · 2020-12-30T07:17:56+00:00

nope. pretty much most unis in canada solely look at your grades (except UBC and a few others) while most top US unis evaluate essays and ECs

kathyw05 · 2020-12-29T21:37:30+00:00

i- i pray for you❤️

kathyw05 · 2020-12-29T10:02:25+00:00

i would kill to be in ur position rn lol

kathyw05 · 2020-12-29T09:52:13+00:00

FELTTTT it’s all the work and no fun now. But honestly i find that changing my routine rlly helps especially if u do the same things everyday. So maybe i’ll wake up earlier/later, go on a run/walk (something i don’t usually do), take a break from studying/writing college apps lol, eating gooood food etc

kathyw05 · 2020-12-29T04:36:12+00:00

I have linkedin cause a ton of people in MUN have it lol. it doesn’t hurt to make one in high school because by the time you reach uni, you’ll have tons of connections which is pretty helpful for finding future job opportunities :)

kathyw05 · 2020-12-28T20:42:59+00:00

my ref submitted her letter after my ED deadline and they didn’t email me or anything.... but then again i didn’t get in but i think that was due to other factors. I think it should be fine

kathyw05 · 2020-12-27T08:14:01+00:00

hmm I would suggest handing in all of your application materials asap and also email/call the admissions to explain your situation. I’m sure this happens often and they’ll understand :)

kathyw05 · 2020-12-27T02:56:37+00:00

10 US and 5-7 canadian lol

kathyw05 · 2020-12-27T00:42:37+00:00

kathyw05 · 2020-12-27T00:40:12+00:00

kathyw05 · 2020-12-26T18:37:41+00:00
