I think it hinges on the necessity or importance of corroborating witnesses or evidence. The lack of corroborating evidence in this case makes it hard to prosecute, however the general trend in cases like this is going away…

@"Michaela.Pratt1" Harvard was quick for me too, but I haven’t applied to Stanford for one yet. What was that process like?
They asked for a lot more in terms of your parent's finances which was a bit harder for me personall…

Harvard just accepted my need-based application for a waiver. If anyone has questions about that process let me know.
Have you submitted one to Stanford? Harvard was quick to approve (less then a couple days) but Stanford st…
Just to piggy-back on this question, has anyone heard of narcolepsy accommodations being accepted or rejected? I'm just wondering if it would fall under the: "If the disorder also results in cognitive impairment, such as changes to memory or attenti…
Loved the webinar. I think my biggest advice for my fellow applicants is to RELAX. The essays are about you and your life. There is something about you that is special and worthy and you just have to figure out how to get it down on paper. Studying …
I’ve been to both cities and have seen GA State’s campus. I can say that the cities are similar in terms of weather and liveliness. The biggest question in terms of location is whether you prefer the beach and beach-vibes or a more hipster and/or so…
I'm still searching for the perfect method, but so far, what has worked well for me is along the lines of what you mentioned in regards to reading the passage a second time after a good attempt at all the questions. I try to read through the passage…
Thanks for the responses everyone! I will definitely look into those options. My budget for anything essay-related is about $200. Also, I’m definitely not a paid advertiser or anything like that; I was looking for tips on drafting a personal stateme…
Agh so curious. Does anyone have any idea what requirements these schools are giving CRS to process fee waivers (esp hidden ones)? I need need need to know if it’s a good sign or not haha (even though my bank account is happy either way).

@eRetaker you mean waivers that don’t show up until you check out?
When you start the application for that school, the application homepage lists step one, two, and three in the middle column. Under step three 'Pay fees and submi…

Check your NYU apps, saw hidden waiver come through today
Can confirm! Thanks for the heads up. Had my fingers crossed for NYU since they don't accept waiver requests.

I would like to start by apologizing as I am sure there are similar posts that already exist. I was wondering the best way to get back into studying for the November test? I have been studying for a while now and sat for the S…

So based on my score from last year I got a fee waiver to schools like UVA, but when I went to apply this year it disappeared entirely???
They reset every cycle. If you received any for the 2017-2018 application s…
Ahh that’s a tough one! Have you considered making #2 your personal statement and #1 a diversity statement? Diversity is not solely based on race and I think you have a very very unique story to tell with #1.

If you played D1 football then yes It can totally work. Usually sports essays are a bad idea but that's more due to the fact that they don't speak to a unique experience or characteristic. D1 definitely sets you apart from …

I don't know your money situation but I was in a similar boat not too long ago and only had the Starter version of the course. I decided to upgrade to Ultimate+ (should've done it waay earlier but better late than never). Th…

@"Michaela.Pratt1" Is your commute 1.5 hours because of distance or traffic? If it's because traffic and not distance, you could go to a near by Starbucks right after work and study late. Then, drive home when there is no tra…

It's hard to give advice about keeping/dropping your job without knowing your schedule, hours, leftover energy, etc. You have enough time to improve to your target score. 2+ months is a long enough time for you to implement a r…

Agree with @MindyKale (btw been meaning to ask forever but is that a reference to Mindy Kaling?)
It depends on your BR score and your section breakdown. I think 4 points is certainly possible but the strategy recommended w…
Personally I feel better when I eat lower amounts of carbs and moderate amounts of protein (from chicken/seafood etc.). Not necessarily Keto (though the one time I made it through for 3 weeks I felt AMAZING). More like 50-80g of carbs a day made up …

Lol I got an email from Harvard today, and I was just like giiirrrlll stop teasing. We both know how this will turn out.
Me too! Trying to figure out what it means if anything haha
