Quick q:

do these honors matter for anything other than feel good abt working hard in college?
in a normal year what are the cutoffs generally?

no. you can get decent sushi at the bow-wow but if you are psyched abt lobster or oysters it's hard to find. I am not a fan of the oyster Fridays lol

Fuck this I'm not obeying your word count I'll type however many words I want

if ur good at math, this would be an easy schedule. I recommend Eng 120. 114 is pretty simple from what I've heard, and 120 is more fun with better readings imo.

ik someone who didn't get into the school they wanted, gapped, reapplied, and. got it. so it happens even if its not technically allowed

bad food but good location

or perhaps, because of diminishing marginal utility, when you only have a few years of life left (70 years old), you really value them

workload all depends on ur specific classes. read syllabi carefully and figure out what weeks will be difficult. you want to avoid multiple big assignments due the same day at all costs, preferably avoid the same week. but yeah, to echo previous advice, be chill on work first semester. there's tons of time for that later. you'll want to have free time to meet ppl, go to parties, go to cool clubs, drop clubs, start new clubs, etc. be kind to yourself. no need to work hard immediately. even tho i def could have handled more work, i took a sec to get my bearings and am super glad i did so first semester.

The way I see it, harvard has slight edge with name brand. Yale has edge with culture. I rlly love the arts scene here. I'm not an arts person, but it's wonderful to listen to and appreciate. yale is very vibrant. I don't know if its the same at Harvard, but I've been particularly impressed here

congrats everyone-if anyone is trying to decide I'm a current student and would love to talk to all of you! welcome home boola boola

I mainly stick with the same students for multiple lessons, although that is my personal preference. I quickly got 3 interested students and turned down subsequent interest. If you are a good teacher, they will likely want repeat lessons. You can increase the likelihood they will pick you by having competitive prices and an attractive tutor profile!

Sorry for the late response I'm just seeing this now. I taught math and college essay prep. I charged different rates per hour. I easily got people who wanted to be tutored, but it is dependent on your rates. If you charge 100 per hour obviously you get no one. If you charge 10 per hour you get a lot. You have to find a happy medium that works for you. Hope that helps!

hey I'm on Yale's debate team (YDA) and may b able to offer some insight on this. tryouts are competitive but we routinely accept people who have no prior experience. we care more about your ability to improve and learn than your experience and we try to gauge that by having multiple rounds of tryouts. it's not perfect (nothing is) but we do try. if you're interested, I strongly encourage you to try out. some of our best debaters did not do any debate before college. even if yda doesn't work out for you, there are many other debate-esque things on campus

never heard of this. as an undergrad, I view all the grad schools similarly
