hi everyone!

i have a diagnosed migraine disorder which was revealed to the school and received a d in my ap statistics class due to missing lots of school for it/exams as well.

i will still graduate my high school.

i’ve received lots of financial aid from american which is the only reason why it’s possible for me to go, but am so scared that this grade will either render my admission rescinded/make me lose my aid.

i’ve already been accepted on c’s as well.

has anyone else been in the same boat? it doesn’t have to be happy story, honestly just need to feel like i’m not alone 🥹

hello! i am class of 2030 and I was admitted into the honors college. I have yet to find a roommate on the honors floor of Anderson Hall, and i register for rooms on June 3. im scared that if i don't find anyone to room with in the honors college I will end up with a roommate I don't like. On the other hand, I found people who I might like willing to room with me in Hughes and I'm thinking about that option.

My question is: does it matter if i'm on the honors floor ? will my experience be vastly different? and if so is it inherently negative?

Hi. My daughter and I will be in DC during the Memorial Day weekend with the goal to visit schools. We are signed up for an official tour but would love to see if anyone is willing and interested to shows us “their” AU?
She is interested in International Studies.

Thank you!

My daughter is a junior interested in International Studies, with AU one of top choices.
Curious, if admitted will any of her APs count for college credit - AP Euro, AP US history, AP env studies, AP micro / macro, AP Stats, AP Psych

Rising 2L at WCL. I commuted from a city 2 hours away during 1L and didn’t make as many friends as I would’ve liked. For the summer I’m staying in the city on campus and have a part time remote job but I’m looking for something in person. I like to read, workout, and sew. I’m also reviewing my notes from the past year just to stay busy. I’ve been spending all my time alone since finals ended and I’m starting to feel it. Any advice on how to deal with the loneliness? Open to volunteering, clubs, bars etc.

Hello! I’m moving to DC in the fall and will be pursuing my masters. For context, I have my Bachelors in Environmental engineering from UT-Austin and I’m trying to decide which school will ultimately land me a job doing what I love outside of engineering. Although these programs are all very different, what’s the consensus on these schools for an Environmental/Sustainability focused masters degree? Do they all have strong, similar reputations with lots of networking abilities? I’m excited to go to DC but want to make sure I’m making a strong choice since I’m taking the leap of faith outside of my safety net of engineering. Also, for context, my degree is free so money is not a consideration here. All advice is so appreciated !!

Hi,

My accepted student did not initially apply to the HC, but submitted in April after they reopened the HC applications. Any ideas around timeline for notification of acceptance or not? Whether or not they are accepted impacts housing and courses, so they are looking forward to knowing soon.

Thanks!

hey! I’m a rising high school senior (c/o 2027). As junior year ends, I’ve been highly considering this school to be my top choice in applying this fall. Im looking to major in both history and literature with the intention of being pre-law. Would any alumni or current students be willing to give me any insight or advice? Not just those within those majors ofc! If you want my stats I can share those as well. Thank you!

Title. I'm not sure if they all go to people with disabilities first or what. Incoming first year student btw!

I'm an incoming freshman and planning on getting a triple and I was wondering how difficult is it to get one? Which resident hall should I apply to so I can have the best chance at getting a triple?
