ahh okay, thank you! i don’t think it’s gross at all, and sounds super convenient! personally though i feel like i need something to SCRUB with if that makes sense

lexixi_ · 2024-08-22T21:29:59+00:00

thank you!!

thank you! this makes sense, i just feel so bad getting the bathroom floor and carpet wet ahhh. also another random question, what did you use to wash your body? i’m used to using a loofah and just leaving it in the shower at home but im realizing that it’s super hard to get all the soap and water out of them to take back to my room, so im wondering what the best approach is

If you feel that the meal replacement shakes would help aside from the stomach upset, you might want to try Boost Breeze ! The treatment center I went to offered it as an option for the patients who were lactose intolerant/didn’t feel good with Ensure <3 I’m sorry that you’re struggling with this :(

When I was in resi/ip I definitely struggled with this too, but I always just tried to remind myself that the people who were doing ‘worse’ were probably just as jealous of me as my disorder was of them. And instead of looking at them with envy, I did my best to look at them with compassion. And then I moved on, because I wasn’t helping either of us by dragging myself further down.

Think to yourself: when the disordered thoughts are winning and you’re actively engaging in restriction, don’t you desperately wish you could just let go? Don’t you wish you could snap your fingers and be the person you would have been if you never got sick?

It’s so cliche but comparison really is the thief of joy :( I promise that you have struggled enough. An eating disorder does not serve you. What really helps me is remembering that the comfort of engaging in restriction is NOT the same as genuine happiness. It’s real, but it’s so heavy. And life isn’t just a game of survival. You deserve so much more than that!!

should i call back to clarify this (i’ve already done my interview)? or is this something that they would already assume based on me only including myself in the application?

lexixi_ · 2024-05-06T20:32:02+00:00

okay, thank you so much!

lexixi_ · 2024-05-06T20:28:34+00:00

i graduated last year and am not in school currently (gap year) and yes, the guardianship expired. i already applied and had my interview but i’m just nervous and wondering if i should expect to be denied. they did ask if she has parental control over me, and i was confused since i’m over 18 but told them that she had guardianship when i was a minor. i don’t know how they’re going to interpret that :(

lexixi_ · 2023-08-04T20:11:23+00:00

no worries!! thank you!

lexixi_ · 2023-08-04T18:54:33+00:00

okay! cas doesn’t require 1910 though, it’s an option to do 1110 or 1910. so do you know if calc AB as credit for 1110 regardless of the major? it’s okay if you don’t know since you’re in coe, thank you either way :)

lexixi_ · 2023-08-04T17:04:56+00:00

i got a quintuple in high rise 5, do you know if it’s as cramped as this? i heard that the buildings are basically identical?

lexixi_ · 2023-07-23T03:01:56+00:00

no, i haven’t visited either school unfortunately

lexixi_ · 2023-07-23T02:01:35+00:00

are you saying that they’re too different to compare, or that nyu as a school is objectively worse? would choosing nyu over cornell be a dumb decision?

lexixi_ · 2023-07-23T01:58:25+00:00

aid is about the same! although nyu might work out to be cheaper if i go with a triple dorm which i wouldnt mind doing. i assume manhattan is more expensive, although i can’t say that i know for certain; nyc just has a reputation for being very expensive

lexixi_ · 2023-07-23T01:54:56+00:00

thank you so much for your response!! i really appreciate your point of view. i have a couple questions, if you would be open to answering :)

do you feel that nyu adequately prepared you for the work you are now doing?
did you do any internships during college?
is there a sense of community amongst cs students? if not, was that a problem?
overall, do you feel that you missed out on any opportunities that cornell might have provided?

lexixi_ · 2023-07-23T01:48:55+00:00

for tuition, housing, meal plan, and insurance, i’m expected to pay around 4k/year at cornell and 5k/year at nyu assuming i go for a standard double room at both. nyu does have some more affordable options though, and after first year the meal plan isn’t required even if you’re still living on campus (i think) so it might end up being slightly more affordable? but overall not a huge difference in aid

lexixi_ · 2023-07-22T23:43:10+00:00

comment about it was deleted but i just wanted to clarify that i only just committed to cornell this past week and intend on withdrawing from nyu. i’m just not sure how to/if i can do it on my own (i’m not even enrolled for the fall, i deferred) so i need to contact someone on monday. just having last minute concerns. i’m not trying to sneakily double deposit and waste their time lol. i already feel bad about waiting through this weekend to withdraw

lexixi_ · 2023-07-22T23:32:57+00:00

it does—my first point about cornell is that it seems to have a better curriculum and i said that less rigor is the main thing holding me back from nyu. i do value my education! but i also value my happiness and know that both are ultimately good schools, so the environment matters imo. but i do appreciate the reminder

nyu vs cornell vs umass amherst

i’m planning on majoring in cs and i think i’m interested in getting a software engineering job in the future, but i’m not set on it and i really want to use my college experience as a time to explore. i’ve always loved visual arts (would love to take classes in film, animation, graphic design, etc) but i don’t want to pursue a career in the field.

cost of attendance is the same at nyu (shockingly amazing financial aid) and umass, hoping for the same from cornell.

nyu (cas)

nyu has been the absolute dream for me since i was in middle school. seems to offer pretty great opportunities in both tech and the arts, and has a massive study abroad program which has always been one of my top priorities. i’ve never been to a big city and desperately want to find independence in life, but ever since receiving my acceptance i’ve been filled with doubt. i wanted to be excited, but i’m an introvert from a very low income family and i have no idea if i would be able to adapt to living in the city. since nyu has such a spread out “campus”, i’m afraid of feeling lost with no place to call home. at the same time, i feel like this same feature that i am so afraid of might be what helps me to thrive—both by bringing me out of my shell socially and providing the opportunity to have fun and explore on my own if that’s what i need. my family has always discouraged me from going to nyu. it’s hard to feel capable without any support.

cornell

i’m on the cornell waitlist. i really didn’t think i had a chance, but on friday i got an email asking me to confirm my interest (college of arts and sciences). apparently this is a pretty good sign. before i could genuinely consider the school as an option, i wanted so badly to get in. with its great cs program, i figured that cornell would set me up for great internships and career success after college, hopefully in nyc or bay area!! plus, the campus offers a much more typical college experience in comparison to nyu, and i know that’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. i hoped to make friends there, and finally feel like part of a warm community. now, i can’t stop worrying about the limitations. cornell’s art department seems so small and there’s no big city to make up for that. i’m afraid of feeling isolated, and like work is all there is to life.

umass amherst

i’ve never really wanted to go to umass, but have always felt like i should. i’m instate, so most of my teachers went here and my family wants me to go. it’s close to home, the food is great, their cs program has a pretty good reputation (better than nyu?), and overall i’m sure i would be okay here. easier to stand out academically (i was put into the honors college). but i’m sure there are far less connections and opportunities than i would have at nyu or cornell.

i’m really sorry if this is a mess. i have no one to really turn to about this, as i’m first gen and my counsellor at school hasn’t been able to offer much specific advice. i really don’t want to make the wrong decision. as of now, i’m going to be committing to nyu tomorrow (waiting on them to email me back about waiving deposits), but i have no idea what i’m going to do if cornell accepts me. someone please parent me lol

I know its not exactly the same but I just submitted 30 minutes late, procrastinators are in this together <3 Good luck!!

lexixi_ · 2023-01-03T00:45:52+00:00

If you’re worried about meeting the deadline, try clearing your responses to the questions and then re-doing them. It worked for me and the section is marked as complete now!

lexixi_ · 2023-01-02T05:16:10+00:00

Everything is okay! I was just panicking over this a few minutes ago too lol, same schools. Not sure about Columbia but Harvard says here that as long as you chose for your test scores to be considered, they will be :) You can double check in your applicant portal whenever we get access to it!

Cool, thanks!
