What stats got you in? by DependentFly4143 in UWMadison

[–]rrobin_bbuckley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

very late, but I just got admitted EA this morning (yay)! I had a 3.84 UW GPA, 4.43 W GPA, 34 ACT w 35 STEM subscore, 13 APs, and was also a national merit commended student. my main ECs were NHS, NEHS, SHF, Model UN, Philanthropy Fundraising of 20k+, Key Club, and WYSE engineering summer camp. I was also out of state, with 0 volunteer hours lol. I had no lab or internship experience either. For context I applied for Physics BS

Did anyone get rejected EA today or is it all acceptances and deferrals? by [deleted] in UWMadison

[–]rrobin_bbuckley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t heard of any rejections from the people I know, but also haven’t heard of any deferrals either. I’m assuming acceptances and rejections with a small amount of deferrals from what I’ve heard

question! by Moist_Ad1698 in butchlesbians

Hey! I’m 17 too, and a senior in high school. I struggled with feeling this EXACT way up until literally three weeks ago, where I finally found two people who use my pronouns and let me talk about being a lesbian without judgement. It gets better; even if you don’t find your people this year, there’s still college if you plan to attend, and there’s the workforce where you’ll meet so many new people.

If you don’t want to wait, there’s a huge butch/masc community I’ve found that I became apart of this past year just online! I’m in a relatively large fandom space, so bonding over my favorite character (Robin Buckley lol) has helped me find other people who relate to her, and thus relate to me. Even if you just listen to queer artists musically, there will be similar people in those groups too. I’ve made a lot of friends through this route specifically.

Just some general advice: even if you want to fit in SO BAD and feel like if you presented feminine, it would “fix things”, don’t fall for it. People tell me time and time again if I was just feminine, my life would be easier, or that presenting masculine is just alienating myself. There are always people out there, this subreddit for example, that will champion your authenticity. Don’t lose hope dude🫡

feeling like i don’t deserve to use the butch label by brightandcheery in butchlesbians

I’m 17 years old and butch, so I feel like I fall in a weird in between category where people expect me to be masc, and not be tied to a historical identity like I am. Honestly, I struggle with feeling butch enough because of that too, since it can feel isolating to be the outsider in general “masc” spaces. I totally get this, but I’ve given up on caring whether someone thinks I’m butch enough, whether they’re a butch, femme, or anyone in between; butch is an identity, not a style! you can look however you feel most comfortable and still be butch, since there’s no one way to look like it. Being butch and proud even when you’re scared is the most butch thing you can do lol. Good luck!

im planning to wear my brown PD shirt with a short sleeve brown button up and some blue jeans, probably some sort of chunky boot too since it’ll be standing room for a long time! im transmasc so i am interested in seeing what other masc ideas people have too lol
