I just checked the US News rankings for my major of choice. I didn’t even take the SAT but got into a similarly ranked school lol

I thought everybody got the memo on the SAT thing during Covid though. Schools were never meritocratic, now they’re honest about it. They don’t even look at SAT scores anymore.

I see they meant they got into 1 out of 3 schools.
UCSD has a 28% acceptance rate, UCLA has a 9% acceptance rate, and USC has a 10% acceptance rate…
So if they’re shocked by one in three that’s kinda weird. Because if you do the math on it they had a 93% chance of getting into at least one, but the highest acceptance rate is a little less than a 1 in 3 chance, so it sorta makes sense they only got into 1 out of 3 because what else was going to happen with those odds?

Damn, it’s a 41% chance of getting into at least one.
1-(1-0.28)(1-0.1)(1-0.09)
Like an idiot I did 0.9 instead of 0.09

So actually 1 out of 3 is lucky because 59% of people who try that will get into 0 out of 3.

College students don't understand how definitions work.
Essays aren't graded on your ability to defend your thesis, but rather on how much of your personal life you share.
Too bad the government doesn't give these large loans to everyone for business instead.

Defending your thesis something you do to get your PhD. For an undergraduate college application essay, there’s no thesis statement or argument. It’s just to see if you’re a good fit or not. It sounds vague but there’s actually a right way and a wrong way to do that. It doesn’t necessarily need to be overly personal.

Like say somebody wants to study physics at UCLA. Why do they want to study physics? How much do they know about physics? Are they genuinely interested in physics? Why do they want to go to UCLA for physics? It’s that kinda thing.

Except the University of Chicago decided they were gonna be all quirky and ask cute and different questions for some reason.

"In an ideal world where inter-species telepathic communication exists, which species would you choose to have a conversation with, and what would you want to learn from them? Would you ask beavers for architectural advice? Octopuses about cognition? Pigeons about navigation? Ants about governance? Make your case—both for the species and the question."

The thing people need to realize about this place called "America" is this is a dreamland. You’re sleeping, this isn’t real.
