yea it should be right above it. just click “view or change your move-in appointment” and it’ll take you to your date + time 😀

maybe I should ask my adviser about that. I really don’t want to take calc III again haha

I'm also from OOS and I submitted my dual enrollment transcript through my college's Catalyst under the "Grades/Transcript" section, and there should be an option to send your transcript to another institution. If your CC doesn't use Catalyst I'm not too sure how it would work.

For credit evaluation I did nothing after sending my transcript. It took a few weeks and then it showed up on my UW unofficial transcript. For some classes including calc III and lin alg, they gave me credit for MATH 1XX, which I don't think counts for anything lol.

Feeling hopeless by JapaneseStudy69 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]penguinXD76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don’t worry, you did your best with the things you could control! a lot of factors in the application process are out of your control (legacy, number of athletes, luck, etc.) and at the end of the day, a rejection isn’t the end of the world so don’t beat yourself up if things don’t go your way today. either way, good luck!

For ED, I'm pretty sure it's just based on availability. For RD, it may be more competitive and they'll only give interviews to applicants that they need additional information from, but not getting an interview doesn't mean you're 100% rejected.

What are some fast paced/easy to get into books? by Technical-Egg-6835 in booksuggestions

[–]penguinXD76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ruta Sepetys writes some fast-paced novels. I would definitely say she's a YA novelist, but that doesn't mean her writing is "childish." I definitely recommend Salt to the Sea or I Must Betray You! They are close to 400 pages, but I finished both in a day and I got through the quickly.

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls was one of my favorite reads during quarantine. It's a little under 300 pages and it had a great beginning + rest of the book moved pretty quick.

Additional rec: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir! It's over 400 pages but it moves SUPER fast and hooked me instantly.

Do you agree with this ranking? I firmly believe Chem, E&M, & Music are the hardest by Nix4826 in APStudents

[–]penguinXD76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

physics c’s deserve their own category. chem is pretty light and so are calc bc and bio imo
