I think the things that reduced my nerves the most were 1) Going to the testing site multiple times the week of the test and 2) Realizing that "the hay was in the barn" the week before the test.
A few times I got up the same time I would on test da…
Thanks for the responses! So in your opinion, with my numbers I could potentially receive in excess of $75,000 from negotiating through the Regular admission process?
Dropped a few points from my average before the test. I am disappointed, but tend to be too hard on myself when it comes to tests and academics. I am confident I can get into the schools I want to go to, but one likely without scholarship money and …
My piece of advice would be to make sure your personal statement is centered around YOU. Admissions officers want to be introduced to you in a way that isn't purely quantitative. Make sure you are using an active first person voice and don't place a…
The incident was 5 years ago. Personally, I feel if I write an addendum explaining the situation and how I have grown since then, also beings there is no pattern of this behavior, it won’t bar me from being admitted. I’m more worried about how this …
I apologize for using the term “political climate,” it is irresponsible of me to blame society for my innapropriate actions. I was just frustrated at the varying broadness of C & F questions. I have edited my original post.
As for contacting th…
Thanks for the response! I apologize if I worded the statement poorly, and in no way would I not take full responsibility for my actions in an addendum, it was a stupid mistake on my part. I am just concerned becasue I already have to write a C&…
Personally I want to pursue environmental law because I have a great affinity for our natural world and our public spaces. The need conserving in order for us to enjoy them their fullest. Also the fact that we as a race depend upon nature, and doing…
My last 4 RC BR scores have been -8, -4, -2, and -2. I may just try investing more time up front while reading. Similar to LG, it is kind of a scary concept to me, but I'm sure will be worth it in the end.
Awesome, thanks for the great suggestions!
Looking back, my RC has been consistently around -7 (with the exception of this last test at -10). Do you have any strategies that seem to increase your understanding of each passage? Like notating or paus…
Thank you so much for the input! My BR scores the last few PT's have been 166, 166, 172, 169, and 172. My last one (PT78) was full of over-confidence errors, shown by the only 4 point increase from timed to BR score. I went from -4 in LG timed to -2…
I am just hoping for really exciting games all around (that Portugal vs. Spain game was fantastic) in order to heal the daily heartbreak of not seeing the US there. Having the WC in 2026 has made this WC a little less despairing, as well.
In terms …
Thank you so much for sharing your strategies! I will have to really force myself to perfect every game while fool proofing. I think I also am too hard on myself when I do make mistakes, which only exacerbates the issues.
I agree that splitting is …
Thanks for commenting! Once I remembered the class was on my CC transcript I assumed that would be what schools want, I’m just excessively paranoid on this issue haha
Or would the high school transcript even be required, as the credit was from a community college (that I ended up attending after HS graduation)? Would they just need the community college transcript?
