is it better to have ap scholar w distinction or a school award? in my case i got an award for my art 1 class last year bc my teacher loved my art and allowed me to skip art 2 so that i can take ap drawing this year, so would that award be better than ap scholar?
after doing my research and going on a campus tour, i've fallen in love w pomona. i love the campus (except for the ongoing construction rn haha) and community - everyone seems to have their own passions and are wholeheartedly supportive of each other. because i attended conservative and competitive (in a more toxic way) schools all my life, learning about pomona's community and interacting with the student tour guides felt like a breath of fresh air.
however, pomona has an extremely low acceptance rate, and i probably look like a "basic" applicant because im planning on majoring in bio on a pre med track. i have good grades and test scores, but my ecs are mid (family responsibilities take up most of my time), so i was wondering if anyone has advice regarding the personal statement + supplemental essays (honestly any advice is ok)? yes i know i have to be honest, avoid talking about other people too much, and really try to show my personality, but does anyone have any advice betond that? or would anyone be willing to share what you believe got you in?
thanks so much :)
pls dm me if you want to read it and give feedback! tysm in advance :)
less than a week ago i put on a pea sized amount of tret using the sandwich method (moisturizer - tret - moisturizer) but ive been noticing dark patches similar to melasma showing up, specifically on my cheeks, even though i've been making sure to reapply sunscreen throughout the day. is this normal, considering my age, and should i continue using tret? :(
ill have 4 ap exams next year (gov, lit, chem, bc), so if i take c mech im gonna have an exam everyday for the first four days. i got a 5 on calc ab and maintained a high A in the class last year, so do you guys think i can manage self studying physics c mech?
