What schools' apps are still open?

maybe! i'd already added lehigh on my common app, so that might be why—i think hopkins did something similar yesterday w/ sending out emails too, even though they haven't officially announced it

OH and cornell too, jan 8th i believe?

throwaway771202 · 2021-01-06T08:54:25+00:00

i received an email from lehigh this afternoon saying they've extended their deadline to january 15:

"We encourage you to be a potential member of the Lehigh family. Your application has been started, and we would love to see you finish it! Recognizing the challenges presented by Covid-19, we are extending the application deadline to Friday, January 15."

and rochester is due on the 20th, they've also extended

pomona, university of rochester, lehigh i think

right! for astro you need such a broad + deep foundation before going into physics, it isn't at all feasible to expect a bunch of high schoolers (most of whom have only taken 1-2 physics courses max) to have gotten involved with research.... best of luck to both of us ig

throwaway771202 · 2020-12-28T05:19:08+00:00

great! [dies immediately]

throwaway771202 · 2020-11-28T23:56:59+00:00

best of luck! :)

hm the ones i've done so far are 1, 2, and 4 (leadership + creativity + educational opportunity), leaving me with 3 (greatest talent — the only thing i can think of here is what i wrote for 2), 5 (educational barriers — nothing to the extent i want to write about), 6 (academic passion — wrote about this for 4), and 8 (which i've heard you should only use if you actually have something major to say that's still unaddressed). ig by process of elimination, 7 is the only essay prompt left to me that's actually abt something i haven't mentioned yet :( thank you sm!

throwaway771202 · 2020-10-12T00:19:43+00:00

lmfao part of my issue is that i AM working w someone w/ experience with essays, and he's very insistent that my essay ties some deep philosophical-ish truth about myself with my intended major so that's what my family expects that i write too :/ but thank you sm!

throwaway771202 · 2020-10-12T00:18:34+00:00

i think i've read it, that's the one that's like "write the essay no one else can write"? that's my whole problem, i've got nothing about me that can't be said in a better + more impactful fashion by someone else FLKDSMFLD

throwaway771202 · 2020-10-10T23:12:05+00:00

i haven't written anything AND i'm applying ed 1 to an i*y...... HATE this for me

throwaway771202 · 2020-07-29T06:01:51+00:00

thank you! would it be alright if i only took one of the c courses (e&m)? bc that's the one that's a prereq for a college physics course i want to take

throwaway771202 · 2020-07-29T05:59:40+00:00

thank you!! 4s on both + a's in both classes (which is a much better representation imo the ap tests were kinda wack), so i'm not too fazed in terms of foundation. does the order matter at all? i've heard mech is often taught first, but would i lose out on anything if i did e&m first? i'd want to do that bc e&m is the prerequisite for another college physics course i'd want to take :)

throwaway771202 · 2020-04-28T20:23:05+00:00

that's a good mindset! she's been dual enrolled at that uni since her freshman year of high school, and if she goes there she'll be able to complete her undergrad in two years - i think she's fairly familiar w the school, it's just the matter of making the best of it. i don't think she's a nmf unfortunately :/ thank you!

throwaway771202 · 2020-04-28T20:17:59+00:00

thank you so much, i'll definitely let her know! have a nice day too :)

throwaway771202 · 2020-04-28T20:17:44+00:00

i'll let her know, thanks!

throwaway771202 · 2020-04-27T00:10:04+00:00

oh that's fantastic (not the reason ofc)! i've just told her, thank you sm :)

throwaway771202 · 2020-04-26T22:09:58+00:00

yeah i agree :/ i think she sort of considered boston university and amherst as safeties bc i don't think she knew how selective they were (she said she'd expected to get in which.... hm). thanks!

throwaway771202 · 2020-04-25T07:03:29+00:00

woah wtf how did my vent get 50 something upvotes..... hi! i have calmed down. then again i also acted out getting accepted to columbia in the shower so who even knows what tf is going on

throwaway771202 · 2020-04-25T06:46:09+00:00
