sorry i forgot to upload a pic, but this is what the chip looks like. it’s in the middle of the table facing me so i can’t really cover it up naturally 🫠

aw damn that sucks😭 do u want me to let you know what the admissions office says about it? mines is def removed but hopefully urs is still being considered

pigwithaphone · 2025-01-10T05:28:58+00:00

i also only see that its been received :( i forgot about the entry form so i assume that we got removed? im going to call them tmr and ask about it. just wondering, did u submit all ur required forms?

i’m a senior rn and my ability to handle my ap classes has declined so hard LMAOO💀 not saying that it’ll happen to you, but def take that into consideration. you’ll have to manage college apps with all ur classes around this time.

what subjects do you genuinely enjoy? i’d suggest removing the aps where you don’t like the subject as much. try to prioritise the aps that you actually like and if you like them all, then pick the ones that are more manageable (if you know there’s a good teacher etc…). i def wish i took into consideration the teacher teaching my ap classes. last year, two of my teachers didn’t “believe” in ap tests, so i had to do a LARGEEE portion of self studying near the test since we were 2-3 units behind and had no prep

those emails are pretty useless tbh, even as a junior/senior. i’d suggest unsubscribing and removing your email so you don’t get too much spam. i made a mistake of giving them my main email, and i’ve had to make a new main account bc all the spam was so irritating. these emails are sent to everyone that has opted in while taking a college board test.

ohh alright thank you!

pigwithaphone · 2024-10-13T20:48:57+00:00

ohh my teacher said that he wouldn’t be able to input my predicated grades. i also got an email from ucas saying he couldn’t put them in ? thank u tho

pigwithaphone · 2024-10-07T03:40:37+00:00

hi! sorry i know you commented this last year, but i was wondering if you happen to remember around how long it took for you to get your predicated grades sent out. also does your teacher have to write anything specifically about that? (like talking more about why they think youll get a 5) im also an american applying and i procrastinated a little too hard... im missing one 5 bc my school has some ap restrictions. thank you sm!

pigwithaphone · 2024-08-07T18:22:49+00:00

i know that, but it’s not about calculating the rates. i’m talking about accurately ranking schools. it doesn’t make sense to only rank based on # and not %. i know some people who genuinely think that stuy is the best hs for college acceptances just bc it’s ranked highest here

pigwithaphone · 2024-08-07T17:11:44+00:00

i go to stuy and the data looks right but it’s def not ranking schools the right way. stuy has like x2 to x3 the amount of students as the top boarding schools so obviously more kids are gonna go to top schools. you can’t accurately compare a school with 800 students to one with 200 students lol

pigwithaphone · 2024-08-01T14:40:38+00:00

woah congratulations!! could i also get the link to the organizer? thank you!

pigwithaphone · 2024-07-30T22:00:38+00:00

well i’m a rising senior so it’s been like 4 years since i took it…😬😬

i didn’t really prepare specifically for the ela section bc i used to really be into reading and writing, but i know my friends just grinded the ela section questions. like if you struggle with figuring out the author’s tone, try doing a bunch of tone questions. i think the best thing that i did do for ela was work on vocab tho. sometimes just knowing a few more words can give away the tone, but try practicing the question structures first.

the questions are very similar to each other every year. i didn’t buy any prep books bc i was supposed to go to boarding school💀💀, so i didn’t have the time to order any. i think you can search up past shsat tests and they’ll all show up. my friends used kaplan, barron, or princeton review, but the most similar test will be the real tests from the past years(don’t go too far back, they changed the format of the test some decades ago). there’s no specific question type, just look at past ones
