i even saw a reel with those posts from this sub, is it actually real?? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DeWI2j_OGbp/?psln=MTJyd3Z5dHh5dWZvNg==

i am from india, does being the sole applicant from my school(school is in tier 1 city tho) directly or indirectly help my odds at t20s??

i dont have ECs like MUNs cuz i knew they werent something for me, nor do i have filler NPOs made just for adding to common app, so is it okay to not have them, or are they baseline basic stuff which AOs expect from all applicants? also i dont have the traditional Olympiad medals and ranks, tho i have other honors related to my major like hackathons and stem related ones is it okay too?

sooo i am a senior rn, and really love soccer.
does by any chance, schools with ncaa d1, allow newly admits non recruits who are already part of the freshman class to tryouts/walk-on-trials for the rosters during preseason??

sooooo, i wanned to publish my papers but as we have a bit less time left for application deadlines, can u suggest some fast way or journals to publish my papers, like under 100 days, and not be costing like 1000s of dollars maybe 100-150$ max is cool, and open to international students, and has some reputation among AOs
