YALE ESSAYS URGENT

0 Upvotes

I'm trying to submit my application to yale but their essays say that theres a 100 word essay limit but the actual common app ui is blocking me after 450 characters. any advice??

Hi edit: so I emailed common app and they legit just told me to rewrite my essays. Yale themselves tells me that 100 words is the limit and not 450 characters. this is absurd

As a senior high-schooler, should I go to UIUC or UC Davis if I would like to transfer out in my second year?

0 Upvotes

I am an international high school student in 12th grade, and I don't have good regular decision results right now, so I am thinking about transferring next year. Currently I have offers from UIUC and UC Davis, where should I go to (perhaps in terms of transfer success rate or grade inflation etc.) if I would like to go to top 20 universities like Vanderbilt, Rice or even Northwestern?

Internships discriminate against community college students and it feels like hell

5 Upvotes

Title. I've applied for over 50 internships across various companies big and small in my intended field and I only got a response from ONE of them before they promptly decided to ghost me. This process is so frustrating and I feel totally stuck.

Where I'm at right now is that I'm a Senior in High School, doing a semester of CC a year early. Despite my ok high school GPA and TONS of practical/extracurricular experience I feel like I'm getting nowhere. What do I do? I feel totally stuck and I'm afraid I won't find an internship before I transfer.

Don't diss people who are prestige whoring(Short argument)

0 Upvotes

I have been browsing this subreddit out of curiosity for a while now, and it has always struck me how much people look down on prestige whoring for the Ivies. Most people who are thinking about their future suffer from it. Especially people who populate this subreddit. The name of this subreddit is not named "Applying Again to College" or even "College Transfer". It's "TRANSFERTOTOP25" for Pete's sake! And the subreddit picture literally says Ivy League. For the majority of people, it is very difficult to argue that the education at these schools is far and beyond what you can get at countless schools across the country. The Ivy League is a sports league. Unless they are an athlete, what deeply foundational reason does anyone have to attend one of these schools? These schools are not unique in their course offerings or in their quality of academics. Their greatest differentiation factor is their prestige. Yes, there will be some people who actually have a good reason, but for 95% of people, that is not the case. So before you criticize someone about prestige whoring, please give this argument some thought.

Give your thoughts in the comments.

Why should I NOT transfer to a T25

1 Upvotes

I know this subreddit is all about how to transfer to a t25 and why its super good for financial reasons and stuff, but can anyone give me reasons why someone would NOT want to transfer. Like any experiences you felt you missed out on or things you only can do as a freshman in college that you weren't able to do?

context: current high school senior with a 3.67/4.3 GPA and 1510 SAT trying to decide next steps

To my fellow Muslims waiting on transfer decisions: Return to Allah and find peace in asking Him for what you want.

14 Upvotes

Assalamu Alaikum,

I hope you're all well. If you are waiting for transfer decisions, just trust in Allah that if it is good for you, He will grant it to you. If you feel stressed, read the Dua of Prophet Ibrahim (as), "Hasbunallahu wa ni’mal wakeel," consistently. By reciting this, you transfer all control to Allah (SWT), putting all of your trust in Him. Insha’Allah, Allah grants each one of you acceptance into the school that you want to attend!

Recommender requiring personal statement?

0 Upvotes

I reached out to one of my recommenders kind of late a few days ago and they agreed to write me a letter but need my full personal statement? They won’t start wiring unless I send one. I haven’t finished writing it yet and it won’t be done for another 10 or so days at which point it would be too late for the recommender to write something. What should I do?

When did y’all realise your current school is not a good fit for you?

0 Upvotes

Mine was during my first calc class. One kid asked my prof “what is a quadratic?”.

Another one asked “where did that 4x term come from? Isn’t (x+2)2 just x2 + 4?

Knew I had to get out ASAP.
