>>94977i applied to a very large popular university that was within my state. people from my family went there and they used to accept mostly people from the state because my taxes go to helping their school. i even went to a school that had an extremely high acceptance rate into there but they decided to 180 that year and accept mostly kids from out of state because they gave them more money. i quite literally got jewed out. my dad has a well paying job though so i got to go to a good school but its out of state so it costs a fuck load.
>>94983SAT scores mean nothing now to these people. they focus more on their gay essays that nophono cares about, im not kidding. i had a 1550 on the SAT and like a 34 on the ACT and got nothing.
>>95028i dont have spaniard blood but i do speak spanish (learned it over high school, talked with people online in it constantly) and i am brown. unfortunately, im not the right kind of brown because they unironically force me to write that im white on my application. no fucking idea why.
i have a specific career path since i want to be a researcher (not going any further), so i did have to apply into a harder program than most other kids. still fucking insane how with my credentials i could barely get in to a good school, i had to apply to like 20 or 30 and only 2 pretty good ones accepted me.
>>95034i would do this if it werent for the fact that european schools do the same thing (at least western euro schools do). i know a ton of eastern euros that had to lie about being faggots getting brutalized in slavland on their application to get into schools in germany and shit. also the qualifications id get in europe probably wouldnt apply in muttland.
>>95051not for me. admittedly im learning a lot about the field im trying to get into that i cant get online. also the certificate that i completed the course + the extracurriculars are shit i cant really get elsewhere. i also had most of my general ed classes completed through credits i got in highschool. if you go to uni with no specific track in mind after, its a scam. if you have a plan, its pretty worth it.
