I am so confused…
(I already bugged my admissions counselor abt smthn else and she’s bad at answering 2 part questions so I don’t wanna do it again lol)
And I genuinely can't wait until then, cuz then my 3rd year will miss out too. So I'm looking to join in March, somewhere in Europe for cheap price both living and college fees wise. Please help me out, I've been under alot of stress. Thanks in advance
thanks
I'm looking to get a more professional job and the university in my town is hiring for an admissions counselor. It's an entry level position and pays more than what I'm currently making with a much more set schedule which I like.
However I've never had a professional job and I'm wondering what it's like, what was good, what was bad, the stress and whatnot.
Thanks for any feedback!

Hi guys. I've been an interviewer for the Stamps presidential scholarship at Georgia Tech (the highest full ride scholarship you can get here) for the past 2 years now. I'm still a pretty recent college graduate and so unlike a lot of my more 'seasoned' interviewers I still have a pretty good idea of what it means to be a high school senior/incoming freshman in 2020 and with that, plenty of advice on how to make your interview stand out in this day and age of tiktok and depression memes.
Of course I won't be giving away specific questions or details about our particular interview process so that noone gets an unfair advantage by going through this, but I'm more than happy to share tips and tricks you can use in any interview (including ours) that will help to differentiate you from the dozens of high achieving high school seniors that we have the chance to meet and evaluate every year.
Ask away! I'll be taking questions all evening and beyond.

Hi, so I recently gave my interview for UC Utrecht, that is, end of November. When can I expect the final admission results for it? I've heard it differs a lot!
I am asking for my cousin from Mumbai. My_qualifications(cousin) : Highschool graduate. He scored decently in mains and in most of the private entrance exams like vit, srm etc but couldn't get CS . He got CS in kj somaiya, which is quite near his house. He is very interested in kj somaiya but the thing is, it has become a deemed uni in 2019. He wants to plan for masters in the USA but scared that US universities will give preference to Mumbai uni and not his cuz it's not known enough. Please guide us on this aspect. The decision has to be finalized by us within 3 days.
I'm a high school teacher and every year I get several recommendation requests. A handful of these are always from kids that I would describe as the great middle - they showed up most of the days, did most of their work, and got average grades. Personally I think that makes them an ideal candidate for college (excluding elite private institutions) because they're probably going to pay mostly full tuition and attend most of their classes. But of course I can't just come out and say that, so I find myself struggling to come up with something about how they're extraordinary when really they're just awesomely average - and that's not a bad thing. So I guess my question is - can you read between the lines of my recommendation? What do you really want to know about this kind of student? Do large universities even read these recommendations? I've always wondered.
During the huge college admissions scandal, why were the individual “donators” punished and not the universities?
I was watching the Netflix documentary on this huge admissions scandal from last year, and have been confused since I heard about this.
While I understand, the parents were “bribing” the colleges, but they were only sending donations to the college. Donating money isn’t illegal. It’s the university/college choosing to act on that money is a crime, right?
So my main question is: why were the individuals punished and not the universities and colleges?
It’s not illegal to offer money or donate money. I can offer money and that in itself isn’t illegal. But it’s illegal for the recipient to take it and act on the cash right? it was the colleges/universities who were agreeing to take the money and accept the students, so why aren’t these colleges being shut down or punished rather than the individual parents?
Here's my thought-path:
So the very institutions whose job it is to take adolescents and young adults who are...
- not yet wise in the ways of the world,
- in many cases sheltered and/or hopelessly provincial,
- probably a little bit rough around the edges,
- naive AF, relatively speaking...
...and teach them; mold them; expose them to a constantly shifting, ongoing, and vital dialogue of varying viewpoints; offer them an array of potential adult role models; and broaden their horizons - the very things that ignorance needs to be countered with to open up closed eyes, small minds, and cold hearts... are saying no to them?
I'm sorry, I get the sentiment behind it, but that seems like a complete abdication of responsibility on the institutions' part.
Fine, private colleges and universities can pretty much do whatever the heck they want (though I still question whether they should). But I certainly hope that this is not happening at public colleges and universities. Because the public includes everybody, even the assholes.
Is there something I'm missing? This does not seem like that complicated of an issue to me. Doctors do not get to pick and choose the patients that they treat. The perp and the victim are equal once they enter the ER. We treat, and treat with, with those who come through our doors. I don't see why public institutions of higher learning should be any different.
This legitimately baffles me.
EDIT: Clarifying question --- IS this happening at public colleges and universities, does anyone know?
