I (18M from Bengaluru) want to do activism on the streets, in public parks, etc. to educate people about veganism. If anyone in Bengaluru (particularly near JP Nagar, even if not, it's fine) is also interested in talking to the public, or can help record conversations to post online to reach more people, or can simply help with editing, please reach out.
Let's make this world vegan and achieve Animal Liberation, together.
I got 594/600 in my boards (99%) studying 1 month before my boards because I had applied to over 20 colleges in the U.S and just didn't get the time to study in advance because of the process. My dad congratulates me as soon as I get my results, and 2 hours later, he sees some people on the news getting 600/600, and asks me why I didn't get 600. Not only does he have the audacity to ask me that, knowing how hard I sat in my room for hours to work on my college applications but also sitting for over 10-12 on the chair to study for boards days before the exams, he also tells my mom "He should have studied harder, look at these kids who got 600/600 making their parents proud in the tv".
Btw, my dad, who "congratulated" me for my results, doesn't miss a chance to demean me infront of every person he talks to. The same guy who asked why I didn't get 600/600, loves insulting me infront of others saying, "All he knows is to study in his room, sitting for hours, infront of his computer. How will he survive in the world". Like, he doesn't even know what I do on my computer. While I was busy working hard on my college applications and doing different extracurriculars and stuff, all my dad sees is that I sit in my room, infront of the computer, and just study. Like wtf.
The other day while I was learning to drive from him, he asks, "Do you know there are students who've gotten Phds by the age of 13? Why couldn't you do something like that?". Bro wtf am I supposed to do? He's not happy with anything I do? Why tf should I get a Phd at a young age, which some superbrainy kid did, so that he can go around taking all the credit for it that he was the reason I would've have been able to do that, and then insult me the next second he gets that I'm not capable of doing anything else.
What kinda bullshit is this? I can't even tolerate this anymore. Idk when I'm going to lash out at him unfiltered.
Sorry for the rant guys.
Me(18M) got waitlisted at Trinity College CT. I am an international student from India, and I sent a LOCI a month ago on April 9th. They mentioned in their website that they begin taking waitlist students April 11th onwards. I read a reddit comment of another waitlisted student that he received an acknowledgment email from Trinity in response to his LOCI, whereas I received nothing. It's been over a month and now I'm thinking whether they actually received my LOCI or not. Should I send them another email asking if they received my loci or something else? please help me.
Me(18M) got rejected from 19/20 colleges I applied to and got waitlisted at Trinity College CT. Idek if they're offering admission to waitlist students already or what's happening. It's been really depressing because I worked really really really hard on my apps.
1540 SAT, 96.5% in 9th, 98% in 10th, 97% in 11th, and 99% in 12th. Did many unique EC's. Put blood, sweat, and tears into my essays and my rec letters were top-notch. My biggest disadvantage was that I'm a very low efc international, from a very very well represented country - India. I had really good awards and everything bro.
Idk man. I worked so hard. I don't even know where else I can improve. I spent 1000s and 1000s of hours of work into my apps and now it's all down the drain.
I sent my LOCI to Trinity but I'm not even sure I'll get in since they only take like 25 people out of 500 each year from the waitlists. Since I'm low efc, they're most probably going to not take me off the waitlist. I've lost all hope. I'm planning to take a gap year and apply to some more colleges with low tuition which are more likely to accept me.
I just wanted to know if Trinity CT started picking students from the waitlist, and what else I can do to tell them that I NEED them to accept me.
