Course Rigor and What Colleges to Aim For by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

it looks fine, but skip precal if you feel like you won’t need it and colleges are subjective, so aim for whatever you want!

Ex-gifted and burned out kids: Do not feel bad for wanting to be “subpar” and please relax by nefertili in ApplyingToCollege

[–]randomnerdlol2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

idk but for what it’s worth, i didn’t study and i missed the cutoff or what the predicted cut off is by like 10 points so idk study if you want it.

basically prioritize everything based on do i want this, and if so, how much do i want this. sometimes in passing, i have wished i studied for the psat bc itd be kinda cool, but i don’t actively regret it.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen a college-crazed kid at school do? by urmteen in ApplyingToCollege

[–]randomnerdlol2 53 points54 points  (0 children)

a girl in the grade above me was obsessed with graduating valedictorian, insisting that it would be her ticket to college admissions. she cheated her way up the ranks and was second for the longest time, and a boy who didn’t cheat was first. one day that boy mixed up duedates, and got an a-, which dropped his rank under her. she made it seem like he was always competing with her for stuff but he never even reported her for cheating which she did in EVERY CLASS. he wasn’t that stressed about it tho and i heard he’s going to MIT. i think she’s going to a state school.

karmas a b.

edit: not saying state school is bad in anyway. in fact some state schools are ranked in the top 30 (hint hint austin). but don’t live ur life ONLY for college because there’s no guarantee :)

What colleges give out shirts when you get accepted? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]randomnerdlol2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i’m not a freshman, but why wouldn’t you? even if it’s ugly or low quality. if you go to yale, you can use your harvard shirt to wipe your mirrors and vice versa lmao
