I’d rather use common app for regular decision applications because I can list more extracurricular activities, and regular decision Questbridge doesn’t really offer much benefits for rd.

questions in the title

Edit: Specifically for the schools that you applied to in match. I was told that Questbridge automatically moves your applications to regular decision at those schools if you don’t match.

I’ve only really been involved in 1 official job in high school, but it’s because I’ve been working there consistently since I was a freshman. But I have 10+ extracurricular activities I want to include and I have to limit my extracurricular activities to 5, when I’m only filling out 1 of the 5 work activities, so it feels kind of annoying.

Overall:

1. Could I include unpaid internships under work activities section?
2. Could I include volunteering where I got occasional stipend-like pay or the owner gave me occasional money gift rewards?
3. Could I include something small like my sister paying me to babysit her kids during holidays?
4. Would it be weird to include only one work activity if it was consistent throughout high school?

Hey I just tried out the new 2026 Cinebench tests, and the following are my scores. I mainly do heavy multitasking and workstation productivity, and some CAD. I don't really know what they relatively mean, so any interpretation and input is much appreciated.:

CPU (Single Thread): 552 points

CPU (Multiple Threads): 4706 points

CPU (Single Core): 745 points

GPU: 41874 points

My system: Ryzen 7 9700X & Radeon RX 7800 XT

What do these scores correspond to generally? Also specifically for my build are they relatively good/bad?

Thank you!!!

the rubric seems so confusing to me. how am i supposed to list an outside concept and link the evidence back at the same time.

do i format it like one sentence linking the evidence back to the claim and then the next sentence introducing the concept. like i don’t know how to integrate the concept.

any sentence starters???? like the aaq format is so straightforward compared to this.

am i supposed to say:
- this evidence supports the claim because …, which is also known as (insert concept)

someone please help 🙏
