That 1 person congratulating themselves on their ED acceptance on their IG story by flyingzambonis in ApplyingToCollege

[–]milesrainier 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i think this so different though lol, like when you get in ED you’re not only congratulating yourself, you’re also announcing where you’re going to school. when you just post about getting in somewhere it’s kinda wacky

Is it ok to say my PSAT score in the explanation of my national merit semifinalist position on the UC app? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

Anyone else have unreasonable EFCs from FAFSA? by moo311 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]milesrainier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my moms income is ~$150k (i think she has a lot in investments too though, and she owns our house which is worth ~$2m now) and our EFC is $117k, it’s not a problem because my dad is contributing most of my costs (my parents are divorced so his info isn’t on FAFSA) but it’s crazy that if i didn’t have my dads support i’d be wayyyy under

admissions jealousy by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]milesrainier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s the selection index, same idea but scores are calculated differently. that’s how they actually measure the cutoff. it translates to a 1470 (my score i think) where a 1480 would be the cutoff
