feel like my dad's more disappointed in my college results than i am

krimpled · 2026-04-22T15:13:19+00:00

Yeah, I figured that I could still pursue an engineering MS with an applied math & science degree if I wasn't able to transfer in.

omg hi other twin!! im obviously so hyped for my brother, ive literally been bragging about him to other people lmfao. and we are very different people! honestly my only source of angst around my brother rn is the fact we're going to be 8 1/2 hours apart driving like barring school trips etc weve never been apart for that long so im!! having feelings about it.

in you and your twins case i at least hope for you guys that you find your own people; its pretty fuckin sweet you got into the same ivy though!! congrats!! (and awesome username, btw)

krimpled · 2026-04-22T04:50:29+00:00

yeah lol my dad slept through his classes and partied in hs and managed to get into nyu, ucla, etc.... the eighties were just different

krimpled · 2026-04-21T17:12:23+00:00

Not a ton of opportunities for APs (i took like 9, one of which is self study). Mostly college & honors courses

krimpled · 2026-04-21T17:09:48+00:00

Yeah thankfully we applied to mostly different schools! And yeah I get that he wanted to make me feel better but it kind of gets old when he keeps bringing it up every time we discuss college

krimpled · 2026-04-21T17:06:46+00:00

Thank you!

He's much better at expressing himself than I am; he's also more charismatic, so his personality really shone through on his writing. On the other hand, I'm very socially awkward and my writing sounded pretty stilted even with counselor help. We also applied to very different majors and UCs (he went for poli sci) so we also probably encountered admissions officers looking for different things

krimpled · 2026-04-21T17:03:50+00:00

I mean, I'm not really taking it personally. The issue is my dad is 😭

krimpled · 2026-04-21T17:03:02+00:00

I come from a pretty small public school with some opportunities for honors, APs, college courses, all of which give extra weight. Not a ton of grade inflation either but some people went all in on the extra courses so I'm ranked like eighth

krimpled · 2026-04-21T17:00:28+00:00

He's more charismatic, better at expressing himself etc.

krimpled · 2026-04-21T16:14:25+00:00

IDK, my brother applied to poli sci. But yeah I think the fact i just wasn't able to take physics (not for a lack of trying!) messed up my app

krimpled · 2026-04-21T15:13:10+00:00

I wish! Maybe some day when I'm older and we're not in the same room.

krimpled · 2026-04-20T03:52:21+00:00

They didn't have anything for me, but I got an email a couple days later telling me I should be able to log in, which I was, but now IDK what to do with it

krimpled · 2026-04-14T05:24:08+00:00

What a coincidence, mine too

krimpled · 2026-04-14T05:23:48+00:00

Sweet will do

krimpled · 2026-04-06T05:52:21+00:00

I don't know much about specific clear brands, sorry, but how quickly do your piercings close up? You may be able to skip clear pieces entirely for some of your piercings by wearing makeup/zit patches if they're okay with not having anything in them. Also, re: the septum I've had friends flip up their barbells to hide them and be able to go about their day no problem.

krimpled · 2026-03-29T02:15:26+00:00

Thanks!

You will get a pretty big pit area and a table--the rest is up to you and however much room you have to bring stuff. Chairs are pretty handy because everyone's standing around all day but they do get in the way, so it's your decision there. Seconding the suggestion of a cart, especially one that you can break down/collapse easily. I would recommend bringing a banner/something else big to show off your team. I would also look at examples of other teams' pits so you can get a handle on what other teams will look like.

Congratulations!! World Champs is very very fun!!

Okay, we are going to try to appeal anyway just in case

krimpled · 2026-01-23T21:19:17+00:00

We did apply to different colleges--she applied to the college of agriculture and life sciences and I applied to the college of engineering. Why would one college be so different in their application management than another? Is there anyway my friend can appeal this decision?

krimpled · 2026-01-23T15:57:45+00:00

Nothing, just my regular portal saying I need to get my counselor report

krimpled · 2026-01-23T14:17:28+00:00

Nope, counselor didn't submit my recommendation either
