specifically, someone with around a 3.5-3.7 gpa. i have good ec’s and will have good test scores but my gpa is just messed up due to freshman year. and i’m not talking about ivies like harvard or mit but ones like cornell and dartmouth
i put that i was first gen on all the things i’ve applied to so far but i just realized i might not actually be first gen…my mom didn’t go to college but my dad attended mit but he dropped out. do i still count as first gen since my dad didn’t finish college or no???
does anyone want to read each others essays for dartmouth bound?
does anyone want to read and review each others essays for dartmouth bound?
i had no conclusion or counter argument for ANY of my essays…and they all were 3 paragraphs. my teacher never gave us 40 minutes to write an essay so i just ran out of time, is it still possible to get a 5? i included some counter points in my body paragraphs for my synthesis but that’s it
i took the ap precalc exam today and i was so confused on frq 4, so i left a bunch of it blank and in one section i wrote “please give mercy on me, my mom will whoop my *ss if i fail ts test”
i was joking but once the ap graders read that, will they report my mom to cps or will i get in trouble for cursing on the test??
i was rejected from college prep scholars, but i’m still applying to fly ins and i’m wondering if anyone has any advice on how to write essays for fly in programs? specifically when the prompt is asking why you want to visit the school or why you want a specific major
i was accepted into ssp and have technically enrolled but idk if i want to go or not
i’ve heard the quality of life is really bad and i have social anxiety. if i don’t go to ssp i have the opportunity to do research with a professor, work on my passion project, volunteer, and work on college apps. i really don’t want to major in stem so attending ssp would kind of look out of place on my app…let me know what i should do since i have like 2 days to finish enrollment
title! i want to know what grade my paper will get (1-5) based off of collegeboard's official rubric. my pod was bad and my paper was lowkey rushed, so if i can't get at least a 3 i might cancel my score

i’m taking the late exam on the 20th and i need advice on what units to study!!
was my first time applying to summer programs since i only learned about them in junior year
background info: black, title 1 public, first gen and low income
academics: 3.2 uw, 3.8 w, 1370 sat (710 r&w, 660 math)
courses: 2 aps and 2 5’s sophomore year (world, seminar), 7 aps this year (apush, bio, lang, chem, research, precalc, apes)
extracurriculars:
essays: it was my first time writing for applications but the people who reviewed my essays said they were pretty good, so ig 7/10?
now results!!!
mites: >!waitlisted, i have no idea how😭!<
ssp:>! accepted + commited!<
questbridge cps: >!rejected, i rushed my application in one day so i‘m not suprised. will be applying for the match though !<
yls/ylc: >!rejected, i thought this was a scam since it had no essays so i don’t really care !<
local hospital internship: >!rejected!<
local hospital volunteering: >!rejected!<
takeaways:
i guess i had pretty good results for someone with really low stats! hopefully i can do better for college app season🤞
title, i don’t know if i should waste my time doing them or not especially when many of them don’t have additional information sections
title!! i have ideas and i’m willing to share them with someone who’s motivated to start something as well. the passion project can be medical, social science, history, or english based as i have ideas for all four of these majors. lmk if you’re interested, we can be co founders
i’m cooked, i thought they meant dna so i put sugar, phosphate and nitrogenous bases💔💔💔
idk whether or not to study until 2-4am or just sleep at 11pm which will give me 7 hours of sleep
i really need help 💔 i‘m a procrastinator and i haven’t studied for any aps at ALL i have ap bio monday but also have these other aps
what can i do starting now to get a 5 on all of them? i‘m really only worried about chem and maybe apes since my teacher doesn’t teach some of the ap material. is it worth it doing all nighter or no, because my sleep schedule has already been ruined
does anyone want to review my paper? it's really rushed so i want feedback on it before i decide on if i want to cancel my score or not...it's already submitted so you can be someone who's taking the class now or have in the past
my word count is around 7000 right now, i don't know the word count without all my quotes and tables but i know it's around 6000. if i say my paper is in the 4000-5000 range, will readers actually check that it's over? i don't have enough time to trim it down
i have no idea what to do right now because i'm cooked 💔 today my teacher made us submit our papers, and when i uploaded it, she had to unsubmit it multiple times because my pdf kept getting corrupted. i did turn it in but i just looked at the final version now and my paper is still messed up...like several sections of my paper are missing along with important charts/images...i know the deadline is 11:59 today, but i don't know if she'll be able to unsubmit my paper in time. what can i do??? would it be worth it to contact collegeboard early in the morning tomorrow???
