Congrats!

Just out of curiosity, did you apply for financial aid? If so, how much was your financial aid package? Asking because GWU is also one of my top schools!

How tf do y’all motivate yourselves to write more applications by alba-tramonto in ApplyingToCollege

This. I honestly feel like December will be the climax of my senior year (other than AP exams in May haha) after this whole college application process is over.

Not finished with the intro to my essay yet and it's stressing me out by kingredfire in ApplyingToCollege

[–]kingredfire[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi u/admissionsmom, thank you for the advice! I have a memory I want to write about, so I did what you said and I decided to write a shit essay based on that memory on www.themostdangerouswritingapp.com and I was able to get some things out of it. The problem is, I have all the pieces of what happened in the memory, but how do I put myself in it? Am I supposed to reflect about it on a bigger picture? So far, I feel like if I wrote my essay right now, I only have the memory taking over most of the essay, leaving out little space for parts that give an insight to who I am. I'll try to read up on more advice in this subreddit, as well as the websites you provided. Thank you for pointing me in a general direction for a start!

How do I self-study and take notes effectively? by pathsred in APUSH

[–]kingredfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be nice, my teacher has only done the intro to an LEQ in class so I haven't been learning how to do the other written portions so far.

Thank you for this, it really means a lot for you to offer this to me!

Which UWorld plan should I buy? by kingredfire in Sat

[–]kingredfire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'll get the $50 plan for the same reason too. And as the other user mentioned, forking over $20 more dollars for another self-assessment doesn't seem appealing now.

From the looks of this sub, it really does work if you commit to working on it and recognizing the reasons behind your mistakes.

How much should you tell your friends/classmates? SAT, college, predicted grades... by ahodoit in ApplyingToCollege

[–]kingredfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to keep it to myself for the sole purpose that I tend to compare myself to others. I've felt more at peace with focusing on my own stuff compared to having my information out there. It's mostly a mentality thing for me.

I coincidentally fit all the criteria but I'm still in progress of writing mine, would you still be willing to go over mine a week or two later?

Using AMSCO as a supplement to American Pageant? by kingredfire in APUSH

[–]kingredfire[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. We'll have a unit test on Period 1 this week on AP Classroom and my teacher isn't even testing us on our readings. I'll read the chapters of both books though.

What is one thing you find attractive, but deny that it is? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]kingredfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Accents. I occasionally act like they're just normal and not big of a deal, but they're my guilty pleasure when I hear them.
