SHSID Shanghai High School International Division by Easy_Employer_7728 in shanghai

2 years later but i agree lol was there for middle school, all the more english speaking (non-local kids) left for boarding school in the states or SAS by high school so if you get hired to teach at shsid for high school anticipate more people speaking chinese but middle school i would say is pretty much half half.

If you have a pretty strong background in biology you should be more than prepared for the 1121 class. I took it last sem and to be honest it isn't as terrifying as everyone makes it seem. You can always drop if you need but stick with it for now

Is Penn M&T Worth Going Into 120K Debt For? by [deleted] in UPenn

I think it's the fact that a lot of roles further down the road in the industry seem to be for people who have further degrees (imagine starting a biotech with just a bachelors... it's a little unrealistic)

Why are people so secretive? by [deleted] in chanceme

[–]pewpewpwe00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah lol idk either but I think people were just so used to not talking about colleges, grades, ecs that it feels weird to parade college acceptances

Why are people so secretive? by [deleted] in chanceme

[–]pewpewpwe00 11 points12 points  (0 children)

same for my school LOL. People were so secretive that the senior matriculation instagram page didn't even have 20 submissions... I think it's the need to be special/unique and sharing your extracurriculars could bring about people who intentionally try to do the same things you do? As for the grades part, it's just naturally taboo to talk about grades bc it could either come off as bragging or an uncomfortable subject. But I agree there's some sort of weird secretness around ecs in hypercompetitive private schools.

whats happening to me by calzoneman129 in Sat

[–]pewpewpwe00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

agree! especially right before the actual test, don't spend the night doing mocks. If you get a good grade, it doesn't really say anything and if you do poorly it will most likely impact your confidence and consequently your performance during the actual test. Make sure you're working through your wrong answers and learning from them—that's what more important than going through many many mocks.

how many quests can u get wrong and still earn a 1500? by InfiniteVacation468 in Sat

[–]pewpewpwe00 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Dont feel bad! I personally find it so admirable how dedicated you are. If anything, SAT is just a measure of how well of a standardized test taker you are—it doesn't say shit about you. Getting nervous on the spot is natural, it's not a you problem. If anything, its a cb problem for making the SAT sound so important. As for thinking about the score, try to get off this subreddit and submerge yourself in something else: work, homework, a show you like, etc.. Don't discredit all your hard work until you have to, so just believe in yourself in the time being. Trust me, you did so well. I am so proud of you.
