It’s just a scenario

#

Never hurts to stay more private

pliant cave
vestal nimbus
#

That’s fine

wintry harbor
#

but thats a college

#

with secuirty

#

and all that stuff

vestal nimbus
#

The whole server knows where I go to

pliant cave
#

anyway is it hard to get into?

wintry harbor
#

yess

pliant cave
vestal nimbus
pliant cave
wintry harbor
#

rice is a t20???

vestal nimbus
#

Lol okay

pliant cave
wintry harbor
#

is ucla better than rice

pliant cave
#

that usually tells how hard it is

pliant cave
#

barely

wintry harbor
#

ohh i heard its a really bad campus

#

for ucla

pliant cave
wintry harbor
#

i heard its really small

vestal nimbus
#

Mmm a lot..

pliant cave
vestal nimbus
#

Wow I lagged

pliant cave
#

what were the notable ones

vestal nimbus
#

I guess being like President and Vice president of clubs tbh

#

Lots and lots of hours of volunteering

wintry harbor
#

wait u didnt have research??

vestal nimbus
#

no

#

I did not do any research

#

Well I did research but I didn’t publish anything nor did my name get published in anything

pliant cave
#

Hosa?

vestal nimbus
#

Yes HOSA

pliant cave
vestal nimbus
#

You’re not

pliant cave
#

the hosa board lowk hate me

vestal nimbus
#

It doesn’t depend on solely ECs

#

Grades, Academics / Course Rigor, Essays, and letter of recs also matter a lot

#

Don’t compare me to you lol

pliant cave
wintry harbor
#

also for you go to a magnet school and they compare your application with people at your school so it is def harder to get in i think bc the magnet schools have all the smart people

vestal nimbus
#

I think magnet schools are kinda common tbh

#

My school was a magnet and IB school

#

Every other HS was basically a magnet school in my city

pliant cave
wintry harbor
vestal nimbus
#

No…

#

There was a huge embezzlement case

#

😭

wintry harbor
#

oh!

vestal nimbus
#

I was just insane and had no life tbh

solemn hamlet
vestal nimbus
#

yeah, like millions down the drain

wintry harbor
#

my dream school is ucla ❤️

solemn hamlet
wintry harbor
#

my plan is to take 2 aps in senior would that affect my chances

vestal nimbus
wintry harbor
#

i know its hard

vestal nimbus
pliant cave
vestal nimbus
#

Also, they mainly look at junior year

wintry harbor
#

bruh

vestal nimbus
#

They can revoke your admissions in senior year tho

wintry harbor
#

iwanted to take the minimum in junior

vestal nimbus
#

so you still need to keep up the good work

vestal nimbus
wintry harbor
#

and take all my aps freshman and sophmore

vestal nimbus
#

Junior year is the most important year imo

pliant cave
vestal nimbus
#

I took 8 APs junior year

#

A small summary of my ECs

#

obviously don’t look at me and think that’s what you have to do

wintry harbor
#

lol one of my friend gave herself service hours so she has like 100

solemn hamlet
vestal nimbus
#

What

pliant cave
vestal nimbus
#

You should never lie on your applications 😭

wintry harbor
#

its not a lieee

#

she hosted a debate summer camp and they were there for like 10 hours a day and it waas for 7 days so they logged 70 hours

vestal nimbus
#

…

#

I see..

solemn hamlet
#

😔

wintry harbor
#

i think i have 37 service hours rn but it doesnt mtter bc im in middlke school

solemn hamlet
#

This is the kind of stuff that makes volunteering just be a terrible EC

wintry harbor
vestal nimbus
#

Rn I’m still grinding for ECs tbh

#

Academia is really toxic sometimes 😭

solemn hamlet
# wintry harbor why not

Everyone does it and just having hours is not great cus it's easy to lie about and doesn't show much

wintry harbor
#

there r like awards u can get

pliant cave
vestal nimbus
wintry harbor
#

freshman is the time to explore

solemn hamlet
vestal nimbus
#

It’s hard to have “strong” ECs without having parental or adult support

pliant cave
solemn hamlet
#

Well, I'm working on my coding portfolio, applying to internships, and mainly studying a lot for olympiads right now

pliant cave
solemn hamlet
#

🤔

wintry harbor
#

idk what ecs i have in freshman

solemn hamlet
pliant cave
#

we can go to a t20 TOGETHER

#

wintry harbor
#

wintry harbor
#

pliant cave
wintry harbor
#

idk what delulu your in rn

vestal nimbus
#

I wish I gave myself more time to explore and see what I like

#

I just jumped into med and now that’s all I know

pliant cave
wintry harbor
#

i reallyy dont want to change my mind in junior and be like i want to be a diff major

pliant cave
#

thats literallty me

#

oh crap

vestal nimbus
#

People change majors in college lmao

#

😭

#

LIKE ME

wintry harbor
#

doesnt it cost a lot fo money

#

nd sometimes the uni said no

pliant cave
solemn hamlet
#

I'm kinda having an existential crisis rn tbh 😭

pliant cave
#

sry for calling u asian

solemn hamlet
#

What 😭

vestal nimbus
#

I went from
Major: Biosciences
Minor: Business
To
Major: Biosciences
Minor: Business & Psychology

wintry harbor
#

oh!

pliant cave
solemn hamlet
wintry harbor
#

did it cost money to switch

solemn hamlet
#

You added a second minor

vestal nimbus
#

I guess it does cost more money for classes lmao

pliant cave
#

wait

#

that sounds

solemn hamlet
#

Why tho 🤔

vestal nimbus
#

Because I like psychology

solemn hamlet
#

But why pay your college to minor in it 🤔

vestal nimbus
#

It’s a supplemental to my major I guess

pliant cave
vestal nimbus
solemn hamlet
#

This is my existential crisis 😔

pliant cave
solemn hamlet
#

Colleges are too expensive and the only utility from them is a piece of paper

#

Expensive in terms of time and money

wintry harbor
#

why does usc cost like 100k a year

#

this is utterly ridiclous

vestal nimbus
pliant cave
solemn hamlet
#

And the only way to not have hundreds of thousands in debt and do what I want is to have really good ECs and that isn't even a guarantee 🤔

vestal nimbus
#

I pay 0$ for my uni

solemn hamlet
wintry harbor
#

oh questbridge?

vestal nimbus
#

No

solemn hamlet
#

Today's my 14th birthday i haven't had the time to think 😔

vestal nimbus
#

I didn’t do questbridge

#

wintry harbor

wintry harbor

vestal nimbus

pliant cave
solemn hamlet

wintry harbor
languid ruin

wintry harbor

vestal nimbus
#

Moo is a questie so if you have questions you can ask him looks

#

Idk anything about questie >.<

languid ruin
pliant cave
wintry harbor
#

not eligble for questbridge or aid 😭 no i am not rich either

vestal nimbus
languid ruin
#

tbh anyone can apply for questbridge, its just they prioritize low income first gen

pliant cave
#

guys how does questbridge work

pliant cave
wintry harbor
#

if your house hold income is 60 thousadn i think

pliant cave
languid ruin

solemn hamlet
vestal nimbus
solemn hamlet

languid ruin

Daddy Rice: abcrichh

languid ruin
wintry harbor
#

why is the accpatance rate so low if its not even a t20

vestal nimbus
#

There’s probably thousands of colleges in the USA lmao

#

Obviously T20 is the cream of the crop but there are a lot of other unis that are super good too

wintry harbor
#

what aret the campuses with no crime/ non ghetto areas

solemn hamlet
#

T20s aren't everything 😭
It's just a listing of 20 colleges

pliant cave

wintry harbor
#

ain’t no way bruh this kid don’t go to that school

solemn hamlet
#

There is only one school in any state bordering California

#

Good to know 🤔

wintry harbor
#

Is it WHS

wintry harbor
#

bc naming states is equilivent to naming countries in Europe

solemn hamlet
#

I can name plenty of European countries AND American states
And I'm neither 🤔

#

Plus i could draw borders for at least the prominent states if given a physical map 😭

pliant cave
wintry harbor
#

I would ask you but ur prob gonna cheat and look it up

pliant cave
#

call me crazy

solemn hamlet
wintry harbor
#

yall do realize that the United States has a higher average iq than most countries including yours and our ability to point to a country on a map doesn’t undermine that 😭😭😭

solemn hamlet

Wdym 'yours'

wintry harbor
pliant cave
#

guys what is the hardest working and smartest HS Freshman in this server that LIVES IN THE US

solemn hamlet
#

I have a higher IQ than the average American IQ (I think)

pliant cave

#

I don't associate with India.

#

This has nothing to do with racism, I just don't consider it my country

pliant cave
#

solemn hamlet
#

It has nothing to do with Indian people

pliant cave
solemn hamlet
#

It is well within my rights

pliant cave
#

nvm

solemn hamlet
#

You hate them?

pliant cave
solemn hamlet
#

The racism is real..

#

Them does not refer to a country

wintry harbor
#

ummm as a Indian American I like Indian Americans but I find Indians just rude

solemn hamlet

Let's stop this before neko comes back 🤔

pliant cave

Is it more worth it to take AP Chemistry or AP Biology

solemn hamlet
#

Ask someone in your school who's taken them both with the same teacher or just who've taken one of the classes cus they can give you some tips about how difficult it is in terms of the teacher's teaching quality and homework

snow trail

Alright

Thanks👍👍

solemn hamlet
errant stratus
#

ok

#

lemme figure out how to word this email

solemn hamlet

id actually recommend more APs if they were available considering Seminar is quite easy

fathom wolf

oh wow

#

nice, im tryna get that capstone degree

solemn hamlet
fathom wolf
# solemn hamlet why if i may ask

it just looks nice on my college application plus I feel like writing is one of my strengths and something I'm actually interested in.

#

it might look low stress lol but im planning on doing sports, activities, clubs, and volunteering too so ykk

solemn hamlet
#

You could write a novel or do other related stuff although publishing sucks so maybe posting it online or smth 🤔

solemn hamlet
#

Something low stress that has a lot of impact is great

Not 'really good', just good

And it's a not very common EC either

idk what to write about

Ended up being a text wall but it's supposed to be helpful 🤔

#

You can do an extracurricular in any of these fields that are in one line imo

#

😡

#

Maybe I should actually make an EC guide website 🤔

#

More like a google doc i suppose

#

🤔

#

It could be interactive but how would I write it on a college app

#

Thanks

fathom wolf
#

aww girls girl

solemn hamlet
#

Tbh i just need to make me a website fr

#

But to be fair that'd need some brain cell replication or smth 😔

#

Or just program an AI

#

Wait

#

Is this even a good EC at all 😭

#

The impact is there but will colleges like it

fathom wolf
#

music helps me calm down and i feel like im listening to someone else expressing MY feelings. games are fun and i like to try and win the game, similar to business. i like making videos and capturing amazing memories and watch them in the future. and i like retail therapy lol

solemn hamlet
#

To make a website that helps people with ECs based on databases that already exist and using an algorithm?

#

That there are

#

But those are just databases

#

To be fair this isn't even a good EC to begin with

#

That's true too 😭

#

How would a CS Passion project work anyway then 😔

#

😭 wdym ofc

fathom wolf
#

tbh i wanna pursue a career in business but i feel like even the business has to be of something like CS, econ, or smth

solemn hamlet
fathom wolf
#

and you dont have a life lol

solemn hamlet
#

And it's the easiest to get into too, with startups being the most successful I'd say, cus you never hear a wine or chocolate startup eh 🤔

fathom wolf
#

I'm not that interested in CS tbh. taking cybersecurity rn and im failing

solemn hamlet
#

Chocolate specifically has remained stagnant for years, mr beast with his crazy brand reputation and money was the only person who could even make an impact

fathom wolf
#

ive had it and its not even THAT good

solemn hamlet
fathom wolf
#

some random choclate brand is better than feastables

#

His chocolate brand is only successful because of his youtube career

#

and everyone wants to try it because ofc hes a very famous influencer

solemn hamlet
#

Extremely important factor

fathom wolf
#

Yeah

#

But what helped him be incredibly successful in Youtube?

solemn hamlet
#

And taste of stuff is very opinionated, people's opinion of even taste can change by their impact of the person

solemn hamlet
fathom wolf
#

He legit went from a kid who uploaded Minecraft videos to crazy videos

solemn hamlet
#

And strategy too

fathom wolf
#

Yeah and that's what I need. i don't wanna make my business about CS but obv there has to be security in it

#

i want to creat something from my passions and thats what I've been struggling to find

solemn hamlet
#

You can make passion

fathom wolf
#

i really want it to be product based more than service based

fathom wolf
solemn hamlet
#

Like

#

You can awaken passion

fathom wolf
#

so basically try new things

solemn hamlet
#

That you don't just see when you look at a topic while scrolling through a list

solemn hamlet
#

Which is why a list helps again 🤔

#

Think about a singular idea for every major topic

#

If you don't know about it enough to make one, look up stuff about the topic

fathom wolf
#

oh sorry i misunderstood

Wanna be a robber? Become a civil servant in India?

Would you guys recommend AP world or AP euro?

#

Just gon hope it Ain't too late to change my schedule ig

yo i need some advice with choosing AP for my grade 10 rq, i dont know whether i should take 2 ap or 3 ap at the same time.

solemn hamlet
#

Are you not taking the courses 🤔

#

Also what's ap pre lit
This is the first time I'm hearing of it 🤔

#

Do they go on your transcript if they're just an exam and not a course? 🤔

silk latch
solemn hamlet
#

AP tests are for college credit

#

And also yeah college admissions in some parts of the world require some I think

solemn hamlet
silk latch
#

eh no, my school is providing AP classes for grade 10 (for some reason)

solemn hamlet
#

Which classes, and you have the 'other' grad year and Asia continent role

solemn hamlet
silk latch
#

and AP is basically optional so it has a test to determine whether you can join the class or no

silk latch
solemn hamlet
#

Ok then you should take them 🤔

silk latch
#

we get a certificate something too if we finish the classes

solemn hamlet
#

Well

#

AP tests help you skip the first semester or two of college in colleges that accept the credit

silk latch
#

o DAMN ok

solemn hamlet
#

AP courses are a higher level course offered usually in American public schools, which American colleges appreciate as it shows that you are taking a rigorous curriculum

solemn hamlet
#

So like ap psych would let you skip your first semester of the course if u majored in psych

silk latch
solemn hamlet
#

Well no

#

Depends per uni

solemn hamlet
silk latch
solemn hamlet
# silk latch ya

Well, AP Bio is a harder course, AP Psych is about average or easy, AP Computer science depends on which one it is, AP CSP is extremely easy and CS A is hava coding, and ap pre lit doesn't exist, that might be referring to AP Lang, which isn't that hard

#

If you can, I'd recommend taking them all mnm_shrug

silk latch
#

i mean, i have to do 2 curriculum at the same time (one english and one curriculum of my home town)

solemn hamlet
# silk latch ya

Also do you intend to go to university in America? And do you go to an expensive or prestigious school in your current country M

silk latch
#

my parents + teachers recommend me 3 at max so ya

solemn hamlet
#

🤔

#

English people don't do APs

silk latch
silk latch
#

basically international program (sort of)

solemn hamlet
#

So what curriculum is it tho? IGCSE or IB or smth?

#

It might be an English curriculum

#

Just offering APs too

#

But that makes no sense actually 🤔

silk latch
#

man i dont know much of these stuff so yea,

solemn hamlet
silk latch
#

for some reason.

solemn hamlet
#

Also wdym 2 curricula
Do you just mean like you're doing a local curriculum and then taking APs on top of that (or like your school has that)

silk latch
#

i dont really know how to elaborate properly

solemn hamlet
silk latch
solemn hamlet
#

Why 💀

silk latch
#

i dunno, they call it bilingual school

#

i guess thats normal mnm_shrug

solemn hamlet
#

Oh

#

So basically that's just part of the school system 🤔

silk latch
#

yea, I think ill just consider taking AP CPS + Bio and PreLit

#

3 is enough, i have little to no interest in psychology.

solemn hamlet
#

You might want to just not take AP pre lit then it isn't even a real AP 🤔

Well what do you want to major in

And again, do you want to go to American universities?

solemn hamlet
silk latch
solemn hamlet
#

Psych is easy

solemn hamlet
#

Pre APs are not useful for you

silk latch
#

its prolly Pre AP

solemn hamlet
#

Just asking cus besides some university admissions requirements outside the US, that's the only real reason to take an AP

silk latch
solemn hamlet
#

If it's pre-ap lit, that'd be a waste of time

silk latch
#

tysm for helping me in advance

solemn hamlet
#

Np 🤔

#

You're kinda lucky to be in a good school tho 🤔

errant stratus
solemn hamlet
#

Also are you referring to APs?

#

If those are just courses in your school, then we probably can't provide any useful feedback

errant stratus
solemn hamlet
#

Ask upperclassmen

errant stratus

Ok

Rn got a lil less then a week left until I'm back in school

I'm an indian student
I wanna apply to US business schools
I'm scared 😄 ✨

shy axle
#

Im an indian student
Im in 7th grade (i know really early to be thinking about this)
I need to select a course by mid 8th grade. (Im in the IGCSE board)
The subjects im good at are(from best to worst): English, Bio, Chem, French, Geography.
Any suggestions? so far im thinking to take humanities (if it is an option in my school) or psych, business studies, etc. any other suggestions? (i also want to be an author)

solemn hamlet
#

What's your budget?

solemn hamlet
pliant sparrow
solemn hamlet
pliant sparrow
solemn hamlet
#

Well, colleges only care about stuff starting in high school (9th grade)

#

Well, first, like i said, you'd only count stuff from high school so at most you'd have 4 years of tennis

#

Also seems kinda reversed

pliant sparrow
#

wdym

solemn hamlet
#

The top ones are the filler ECs and the bottom ones are the better ones 🤔

pliant sparrow
#

Oh I wrote randomly 😭

solemn hamlet
#

I can tell that you're doing a business degree so that's great

pliant sparrow
#

But I know this isn't enough

solemn hamlet
pliant sparrow
#

So what do u suggest

solemn hamlet
#

Like I said, what is your goal 🤔

pliant sparrow
#

more like dream

solemn hamlet
#

And gpa and sat score

solemn hamlet
pliant sparrow
#

SAT Ik I cannot score that well.

solemn hamlet
#

Ok not UPenn right

pliant sparrow
#

Gpa is fine

solemn hamlet
#

You should do the SAT

pliant sparrow
#

Wharton

#

Wait wait yea

solemn hamlet
#

It's easy too

pliant sparrow
#

Wharton

solemn hamlet
solemn hamlet
#

Pennsylvania State uni, not UPenn

pliant sparrow
# solemn hamlet You should do the SAT

See my situation is-
Only if I get into a BIG school abroad I'd get to go.
I'm also preparing for IPMAT and Indian Entrances.
So rn- both these stresses are there.

solemn hamlet
pliant sparrow
#

I've looked at the option of choosing either India OR abroad but everyone I talk to says keep both open, including my counsellors.

solemn hamlet
#

Are you going to go to college this year?

pliant sparrow
#

I entered 12th rn

solemn hamlet
#

Ok

#

So basically

#

If you want to go to university in the us, you're gonna have to take massive loans

#

Just apply to prestigious unis, but I wouldn't really have hope really

pliant sparrow
#

💀

#

Ok so-

#

No hope for top unis

#

Why do you say so, though?

solemn hamlet
pliant sparrow
pliant sparrow
solemn hamlet
pliant sparrow
#

That is why Ik its not the best ECs list

#

I'm looking for one

#

Don't got it yet

#

I have a few ideas but

#

Yea

#

😭

solemn hamlet
#

What're your best four ECs

#

Also definitely give the sat

#

May date

#

The sat is a really easy way to increase your chances especially to T50s and T100s

#

Member of club is basically useless for an ivy

#

Generic community service is also useless

pliant sparrow
#

Yeaaaaaaaaa

solemn hamlet
#

Merit certificate is an honor at most

#

If you were a competitive international applicant to an ivy, that campaign would be a filler EC

pliant sparrow
#

I am thinking to open a debate/mun club or conduct a workshop in my school
How credible would that be?

solemn hamlet
#

You can do this by hosting events, getting tons of members and engagement from the members

#

Like
Founded and led a debate club and held friendly debate competitions with regular attendance from both club members and other school students, with passionate debate on various topics.

pliant sparrow
#

OH WAIT I FORGOT

#

I am a management committee member and a founding member of an all-over-india Debate Club with 200+ members

#

where'd u go

solemn hamlet
#

Again, impact

pliant sparrow

Hmm...

#

Its all about the wording, isn't it.

solemn hamlet
#

Yes

pliant sparrow
#

Introduced and working with above 200+ members in an all-over-India debate club as a management committee member to maximise debate access and resources.

#

Even my idea in the IIT challenge was based on debate and same goal

#

@solemn hamlet trying to figure out how to tell me that this is quite bad? 💀

solemn hamlet
#

I'm not sure you'd get into UPenn with this if you were American 🤔

#

It's always worth it to try ofc

Hey essays can make a big difference

pliant sparrow
#

They can... but the more I talk to ppl the more afraid I get

solemn hamlet
#

And ivies aren't the end of the world, you can pay off loans

pliant sparrow
#

1 last question before I go and spiral off into my overthinking

#

What unis DO i have a chance with?

solemn hamlet
#

But if you don't want to go to the us with loans, don't even spend the time writing the common app essay honestly

solemn hamlet
pliant sparrow
#

Ok.. so there is hope...

#

Where are you from btw?

solemn hamlet

Does it matter 🤔

Obvi not, I value a person's input and knowledge over anything else.
