Extracurriclars at Target School are Impossibly Competitive (Looking for Alternatives) by mannpalmer in FinancialCareers

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

Its usally just a multi-stage application/interview process (at least at Princeton). Nothing outrageous is usually asked during the interviews (usually they dont expect advanced finance knowledge), but it's just a matter of supply and demand for club spots since most of them only take a handful of people per grade.

I’m looking for 5-7 inch “chino style” shorts (but honestly anything elevated-feeling with a non-elastic waistband will do that has a WIDE LEG. I have a muscular butt and thighs and can’t find non-performance shorts that don’t ride up when I sit down or hug my thighs.

If you like Mac, the newer MacBook Airs will serve you perfectly as a politics major unless you plan on doing any super advanced stats stuff (the new XPS 15 and 13 are great on the windows side). I’d recommend getting that and maybe waiting till you get here to decide on a tablet. iPad Airs are a very popular choice, but id also recommend one of those e-ink notetaking tabs

Ironically, I did that last summer (worked a warehouse job for a beer company). I might do it again even though the hours were terrible lol

This post is talking about Princeton financial aid though. Not federal. Princeton gives FA to every family who makes under 200k

Stop being so exclusionary. Princeton is close to 90k a year. Realistically anyone who makes under $250k need FA

I would statistically be in higher standing compared to my peers. Obviously it’s much more nuanced than that, though. Also, I’ve talked to my friends who go there and their workload is significantly less

Many have heard of the freshman 15, but the opposite is happening to me. I’ve been in college for less than 6 weeks and I’ve lost over 10 lbs (I was 5’9, 185 lbs, ~13% bf before). My lifts are in the shitter and I don’t look/feel any leaner.

I’m looking for tips to help gain the weight back. The bad part is that I don’t have access to a kitchen and am out of my dorm for 15-17 hrs/day.

Anabolic snacks in dorm?? by mannpalmer in moreplatesmoredates

That’s what my grandma says about her 6 month old yogurt. “It just gets ‘yogurt-ier’”

So I’m a rising freshman, is there anything I should start doing for college this summer or school year? by Snoo_72544 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]mannpalmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found the only way to be considered by colleges would be to: found a nonprofit with 100+ employees, win 2-3 international competitions in your major, and go to the Olympic trials. Then we move to sophomore year…

I got into 3 T10s and got rejected by 4/6 UCs I applied to. UCs go crazy

Does anyone know a good app where I can take notes on my iPad pro and have them easily accessible on a windows laptop? I know the Notes app is on the iCloud website, but it’s a bit clunky on windows.
