I have a bad gpa (3.4 weighted, UW is worse). Should I still put a t25 school as my first choice?

I’m gonna do dap 2 in a few weeks but I have a bad gpa (3.4 weighted, UW is worse). Should I still put a t25 school as my first choice? I’m kind of scared. From what I understand, the school can reject me right if I don’t have the write academic fit?
If anybody has any insight at all please dm me I would GREATLY appreciate your advise 🙏🙏

Am I breaking a non compete by private tutoring

I am working at Mathnasium and I’m pretty sure I signed the standard non compete. Covered distance and while I’m working there. But I want to post YouTube videos of me teaching STEM and also private tutorials myself. Am I allowed to do this? I want to promote my website and YouTube channel on my LinkedIn but I’m worried my job will find out.

Does anybody have any experience with a situation like this? I would love your advice!

Of course I will not steal clients and students and not reuse intellectual content. I have no intent of harming anybody.

Can I work for both Kumon and Mathnasium at the same time?

Can I work for both Kumon and Mathnasium at the same time? I am from a poor, low-income family and I need to work part-time to help my family. I have offers from both tutoring centers, and I could work both of them throughout the week without conflict. I am just worried legally if I can work at both at the same time.

I was thinking I would just work both. Obviously, I am not stupid and have no reason to disclose any "trade secrets" from either location, nor would I want to. I just want to work hard at both locations and support my family. Should I just be quiet and work? Obviously I do not want to cause any trouble...

Idk this is probably a bad idea but should I use the offers to negotiate a higher wage from the other?

There is an NDA that contains a 90-day noncompete. "State law prohibits employers from entering into or enforcing noncompete agreements against “low-wage employees,” a category that expressly includes students, interns, apprentices, and trainees. Based on the type of Kumon assistant position shown here, that provision may not be enforceable against you, although the confidentiality and student-nonsolicitation sections may still matter."

(this is for my state). DM me an I will say which one.

Any guidance helps.

If i have a 3.0 UW do I still have a shot for posse?

I was nominated and I have an interview date but my unweighted is a 3.0 gpa. Do I still have a shot at posse? I know there’s multiple interviews but when it comes down to it, will I have a chance at my school if my gpa is this low? I’m feeling nervous.

Negotiate hourly wage as a new hire

Hi, how do i negotiate my hourly wage as a new worker at a tutoring center? I live in a high cost of living area.
I have not worked for this place before and i dont want to lowball myself. I want to ask for $18 an hour but is that too much? I have past tutoring and TA experience. What is the lowest they would give me? also is asking for 18 too much or too little i dont know

I am still in HS so how would that impact my negotiation? Isn't kumon mainly high schoolers? Does anybody else have a similar experience and how did you negotiate?

Also people who have worked here how long did it take for you to get a raise?

Do any of you guys get paid your states minimum wage?

Feel free to pm me and any advice or help is appreciated <333

Retake BIO and CHEM at my local community college

Hi there everybody I took AP bio AP chem AP physics 1 and will take AP physics c em next year. I am expecting I passed all the exams . I am a rising senior. Should I retake all of these stem classes in college again (at community college) as a pre med? I know they want to see me in labs. But it feels like such a waste for me because I took them already. I guess it would help with my gpa though

I could take these classes dual Enrollment again ay my community college with the labs during senior year . What should I do? Should I do the dual enrollment now or do I wait till uni?

. Please please let me know what you think.

What can I apply to as a rising college freshman

I’m a rising senior right now but for next year what can I apply to? I feel I did not maximize my apps this year and next year I’m thinking of applying to other things with earlier deadlines.

Can I still apply to NIH SIP, Garcia, Clark Scholars, SEAP, SSP, AEOP??

Or should I just try to get an internship/job?

Are summer programs even worth it at that point?

Online classes as a transfer student

Hi

Is it bad to take classes online if I’m planning to transfer? I was thinking of doing some classes this summer and thought the school year next year but I heard some top unis don’t accept dual enrollment credits or anything you do online and want to see you actually sit in the class. In others experience are online courses would be bad to do? It’s very convenient for me as I will be working part time . But I know there’s a stigma of students cheating

Should I prioritize high school or future transfer app

Should I prioritize high school or future transfer app

My gpa in hs is 3.2 w . Uw is lower because I took many AP and de classes. Honestly I’m probably done for getting into to a good uni straight from high school.

My main concern is colleges still look at my hs transcript afterwards. So I know I should still maintain high grades. Honestly I just feel sick and tired all the time putting work into hs knowing I’m not gonna get in anywhere. And I really do not want to pay a big tuition. Price for an average uni when I could just go to cc….

I’m pretty worried. Honestly with my high school it’s holistic for college admissions and there are so many kids with better stats than me so I don’t know whether to focus on high school or if I should max out dual enrollment classes and my ecs so I can strengthen a transfer app. My sat is the only thing I have (1530) but I was also thinking of taking the act to show I have competency in other areas. My high school ecs are good out side of school (I have leadership, internships, and jobs) but my grades are bad…

Should I go to community college if I have da 3.2 weighted high school gpa

My high school gpa is really bad. It’s a 3.2 WEIGHTED and I’m genuinely certain I’m not getting in any t50 school. I have no crazy hooks. I tried hard in high school but I just wasn’t smart enough. I was kind of depressed over my grades all the timein high school and I really regret it. My high school is pretty hard/competitive. I think I probably at the bottom 50 percent of my school.

- should I still apply to my state schools?
- should I still try this college app season?
- should I just go to cc and save money (since I probably won’t get much aid) or should I just go to the best college that accepts me?
- Should I go to community college and get an associates and try to transfer?

- What is the difference if If I transfer

  1. Freshman year of college
  2. Sophomore year of college
  3. Junior year of college?

- How differently will they factor in my high school grades?
