@InsipidLemon: really depends on how much they like you. Some schools will give it to you unsolicited, others you must ask.

Gecko, I feel pretty good. Two of the RC passages had really tough inference questions -- hoping I narrowed down my answer choices correctly

ChowieBean

10:38

Very happy with LR other than having to guess on a couple questions cuz of time

i have a question about my personal statement. in my activism for the hospitality workers' union, i organized and spoke up in favor of stronger regulations on airbnb because the unregulated spread of airbnb throughout LA was inflating housing costs for workers and threatening their job security. do you think it's too divisive to mention regulating airbnb? idk

I wrote mine about how all activists should be consolidated into a large smelting pot and refined down to a viscous goo

I'm sure you'll get a full ride to a few schools :P

The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie

HowlEngineer

11:18

Besides, if a school didn’t let you in for trying to fix a problem you saw in your community, that doesn’t say great things about your school’s culture (assuming the thing you did showed good common sense judgment ofc)

HowlEngineer

11:19

That school’s* culture

ChowieBean

11:23

Thanks Howl you're right :D I def talked about solving problems in my PS

ChowieBean

@HowlEngineer: what's your dream school

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?

MildChiller

12:09

Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024

ChowieBean

12:14

2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:17

I agree with Howl

ChowieBean

12:19

Gecko what's ur dream school

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:20

Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:20

Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me

Any advice? lol
