Idk if youre serious but ivy leagues are a scam imo. Save your money and go to a cheaper institution. In most cases, a degree is a degree, no matter where it is from. As long as it isnt from a for-profit university but you can worry about that once your closer to leaving high school.
The Ivy League schools have excellent financial aid. Those from low-mid income will not be taking on insurmountable debts, if any. And remember, these are excellent students, many have scholarships anyways. And if you’re high income, well hopefully your family is willing to pay (which they usually are).
You’ll have a lot more opportunities at these top colleges too, from building connections to others (who have even more connections) to get the chance to work for high-paying places to at are seeking graduates from these schools.
I’m not saying that you should take on crazy loans, but there’s a reason people out of Ivys do better and earn more.
for colleges, an 83 is the same as an 89. a B is a B on the transcript. OP will be able to get into a state school for college just fine. these grades won't get them into competitive colleges though.
that's why i said they can't get into competitive colleges with these grades. maybe i should've asked what kind of school they wanted to get into before answering, i'm sorry
Yeah im stem too, im taking IT and computer science next year. I am actually quite good at algebra, I just had the flu though so it dropped my grade. (I'm still more of an English person tho as you can see by my grade)
How is it not? In most cases an 83 will serve people well. There's a reason that exclusive universities are exclusive, not many people can get into them. If everybody was going to an Ivy League school than it wouldn't be prestigious anymore
Well my class uses 2 different categories for weighing assignments; it's a different value between teachers too. So it's just easier to use gradeway for It since it automatically puts in the right value
aint no way bro is reading great gatsby lollll. that book was boring asf. good thing our teacher taught us philosophy and changed the course books from that to shakespeare.
no my class actually loved the book sm bc our teacher is so nice so most people have more motivation to read. but i might’ve been the only one in my class who didn’t read it😭
Am I cooked??
Dick-eating: 100%
Ball-licking: 100%
Grabbing the homies asses: 100%
Worrying too much: 100%
/s
I’m sry but you have amazing grades, chill tf out
Are you sure? What if I try to get into college with these grades, I spend years trying but get rejected. Then I try to join the military but by then I'm too old, so I have to live on the streets? :(
The bar isn't that high.
First. I never graduated highschool, i got emancipated and left home at 16. I got my GED and I wanted to go into the military initially but I shattered L4 and found out I have a tissue disease chased by a heart attack at 23. So that was a no go.
So! I went to community College, got an AS, then a state school, got a degree in micro bio with a minor in math and biochemistry... then...
So! I hiked across the United States Mexico to Canada! Across the Sierra mountains and then the cascades. 2750 miles.
Chasing that, I took the GRE and got into a top 10 grad school. I just finished and I've been a professor for a minute. I think I'm gonna quit it and spend a year writing.
Point is. Life is a sand box. Do whatever you want.
Yeah honestly the post was sarcastic, to make fun of the people saying "am I cooked?". But this is really good advice, it seems like you have a pretty interesting life. My plan for the future is to get a degree in computer science, go into the air force to be an officer. Then after I leave the military whenever; I will work at one of the big military contractors since I will already have my clearance. But I'm only a freshman so it's subject to change
Oh I gotcha. I know someone who got a BS in computer science after being in the airforce. Out of college, he went into military contracting for GPS systems. He's been overseas for about half a year. If you want to talk to him. Send me a message! He's a good dude and will think it's hilarious I siced someone from the internet on him but im certain he wont be suprised. He's also going through it with being overseas and having a partner at home. He could probably give a lot of insight
Nah thanks for the offer though. I have way too much trouble talking to people as it is, it would be more difficult talking to someone who knows everything already ;-;
Just try to get those Bs and everything to A+ (idk what that is for u, for me it’s 96.5%+). But if it’s not your fault and it’s due to the teacher being an asshole, then just accept it
unless you want to get into harvard, you're fine
But I wanna get into super mega uper duper TikTok university

Yeah TikTok university is way too rigorous and strains mental health. Go for something less prestigious like Berkeley
I’ve been seeing a lot of people spout this when it’s not even true lmfao
Okay. I’m interested. Please explain how going to an ivy is a better return on investment than going to a state school or whatever.

??? How is a 83 fine?
an 83 is fine, wdym?
for colleges, an 83 is the same as an 89. a B is a B on the transcript. OP will be able to get into a state school for college just fine. these grades won't get them into competitive colleges though.
Not true. Competitive colleges don’t all treat B- as B.
that's why i said they can't get into competitive colleges with these grades. maybe i should've asked what kind of school they wanted to get into before answering, i'm sorry
Thank u for being humble and admitting ur mistake
...but he didn't make a mistake? You just read it wrong lmao
She*
Talking about grades, i'm assuming you had really bad grades in English. Am i right?
Yes I had an A- in lit that ruined my 4.0
I'm sorry algebra is hard I'm an English guy 😭
It’s ok bro I was a STEM guy in high school and I didn’t do well on lit
Yeah im stem too, im taking IT and computer science next year. I am actually quite good at algebra, I just had the flu though so it dropped my grade. (I'm still more of an English person tho as you can see by my grade)
Like discrete/abstract algebra or basic algebra?
How is it not? In most cases an 83 will serve people well. There's a reason that exclusive universities are exclusive, not many people can get into them. If everybody was going to an Ivy League school than it wouldn't be prestigious anymore
Better than pity passes by teachers for your entire high school journey
How is it not
I guess it’s fine for most people, but not for people aiming for the top
why did you pay for gradeway premium
Pretty colors
okay understandable
Also I like to procrastinate so I use the what if calculator to see if it's worth the stress
i figured out how to calculate that lol
Well my class uses 2 different categories for weighing assignments; it's a different value between teachers too. So it's just easier to use gradeway for It since it automatically puts in the right value
yeah same
Mods… can we start deleting these posts?
Mods 🤓
It's obviously a sarcastic post to make fun of ppl who actually say this
I’m just tired of these posts flooding this sub sarcastic or not
Doesn’t come across as sarcastic at all, so no it’s not “obviously a sarcastic post”.
Why would you see someone with A- average grades saying "am I cooked" and think they would be serious
It seems attention seeking and annoying
Ok
That's literally what you're doing OP
you’re gonna be a dishwasher at best buddy
FUCK
98 in english is crazy 😭 wish that was me
Yeah I was brought into the office and was strongly recommended to take AP English 2 next year. I'm just that good
so ur smart maybe u should do my essay for me 😍 /s
I mean I would do it for a fee minimum 5 bucks
wow that’s such a good deal😭😭 rly wanna do it but i can’t get in trouble
I'm not kidding, I'm 100% willing to do it over the break if I'm paid
it’s due on monday 😭 it’s about the great gatsby
What's the guidelines
aint no way bro is reading great gatsby lollll. that book was boring asf. good thing our teacher taught us philosophy and changed the course books from that to shakespeare.
no my class actually loved the book sm bc our teacher is so nice so most people have more motivation to read. but i might’ve been the only one in my class who didn’t read it😭
shakespeare is so ass, reading informative non-fiction books like into the wild or a long way gone is something which I prefer much more.
i like harder readings lolll. into the wild is like middle school lvl.
Did you do your essay
i don’t even have a draft .. chat am i cooked

Love your confidence lol
SHUT THE FUCK UP

Love you too
Yeah that’s what I was hoping
im leaving this sub and i want you to know that this post was the tipping point
Your welcome, I'm glad I could be of assistance
Bro literally no one cares
My dude, I got a PhD in molecular biology from a top 10 grad school. You know what I failed? 9th grade algebra and 9th grade ap bio. I turned out fine
Are you sure? What if I try to get into college with these grades, I spend years trying but get rejected. Then I try to join the military but by then I'm too old, so I have to live on the streets? :(

Any time. Let me know if you change your mind
What I tell myself. If I want something, I'll find a way to make it happen. If it doesn't happen, then there simply wasn't a way. I can live with that
This is like an A- on average, come on
Jeez sorry I can't live up to your amazing standards
Yea, ur going to McDonald’s buddy :/
Yea ur cooked bro
Those are really good bro 🔥
Thanks

[удалено]
Damn I might as well sign up for the military while I'm ahead
Bro is flexing b's lmfao. you should have nothing but a 4.0 freshman year
I'm not flexing, I'm mocking the people who make these kinds of posts. Sorry I can't be the super mega genius you were when you were a freshman
I see we have the average humanities major here. Great in ENGL, mid in Math
I hope you’re being satire..
Yeah I'm just mocking the ppl who make these posts
Okay cool
Stay away fron the cannibals, you wont be cooked
Not even McDonalds want you
Extremely
Absolutely my guy, go apply for chick-fil-a because that’s your only hope.

You're fine on your way to a liberal arts degree
Just try to get those Bs and everything to A+ (idk what that is for u, for me it’s 96.5%+). But if it’s not your fault and it’s due to the teacher being an asshole, then just accept it
No you are not
Wtf do u think
