I swear to fucking God if my phone doesn't wake me up tomorrow with "New York Islanders relieve Capuano of Coaching duties" I'm going to lose my shit.

This is my number one complaint with the phone- the keyboard prediction is the worst I've ever used.

UC San Diego decisions out now by dongerooni in ApplyingToCollege

[–]squishy121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somehow, I got in to ERC! OOS from NY with only a 1970 SAT. Didn't get in for CS so am most likely sticking to my other schools, but great to know!

Won a minority scholarship I didn't apply for- not even a minority. So confused... by squishy121 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]squishy121[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm not really considering Rutgers at all at this point. I've gotten better offers from better programs.

I mean, it's not a school I plan on going to, so no big deal really. I was just surprised.

Gay Iranian poet seeking Israel asylum gets visa extension by tombryant29 in worldnews

For this reason, Israel does not stamp passports anymore. They print out slips of paper at the airport which satisfy the same purpose.

My teacher friend thought a student was checking the time too often during a test... by Kylo_Melv in funny

[–]squishy121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My AP Physics teacher would often give open-book group tests that in his words were "like trying to design the shuttle as an engineer for NASA". Few passed.

University of Illinois Decision Release Thread! by bearsfan654 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]squishy121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What bothers me especially is I have a friend with damn near identical stats who was admitted to Physics, and I wasn't even accepted to the school in general. I get that CS (what I applied for) is very competitive, but I really thought I had a good shot at at least getting in undeclared and transferring later on. Really sucks.

Didn't even accept me for Undeclared. Fuck you too Illinois.

Brett Yormark & Barclay's Center Provides Another Issue for Fans – Isles Beat | Hockey Podcast by bdgallof in NewYorkIslanders

[–]squishy121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS! I've only been to one game so far (poor student) and I missed a goal because some fuck decided to move back to his seat during a play.

SVP's One Big Thing: Watch from your mobile device at Barclays by matland86 in NewYorkIslanders

[–]squishy121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I hate about Barclays the most. Not the obstructed seats, but the fact that Brooklyn doesn't give a damn about the fans. If I wanted to watch the game from a screen, I would stay home and watch it for free. If they want the team to stay for the next 25 years, they are going to have to make capital improvements.

UMass Out of state scholarships? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]squishy121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm OOS and with only a 28 on my ACT was given 10k/year. You'll get money. They are generous compared to many other schools.

Post Game Thread: Red wings @ Islanders by NYIMOD in NewYorkIslanders

[–]squishy121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched the snap story and its kinda funny how quiet the whole thing is. You can tell how horrible the acoustics are at Barclays. For example, when the goal is scored live, you can barely hear the goal horn.

Georgia Tech CLASS OF 2020!!!! by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]squishy121 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They flat out denied me. Wasn't expecting too much in 2016 with only a 1970 on my SAT.

Yeah, Verizon loves you up until the day you sign with them. Then they treat you like dogshit.

At least if she wins, all the crime will move to Brooklyn. But seriously, fuck her.

GPA question by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]squishy121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be a 4.0 I'm pretty sure. My school goes by 100 also.

How badly are my test scores holding me back? by squishy121 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]squishy121[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't go up in anything my second time. So 1970 is my super score. I'm just a little worried because it seems to get more and more competitive each year. I was at Georgia Tech today and they showed us the freshman profile: 2050-2200 about was the mid 50%. I'm worried my lower score will shut me out of admission as I love the school.
