I tutor test prep for one particular graduate exam almost exclusively. When I search for a tutor for this particular exam as though I am a prospective student, I appear on the front page along with another individual. We've both been on the front page for a long time.

This individual advertises that they received a perfect score on the exam in their subject specific title. In their bio they then state that they received a score that's barely in the 99th percentile. I didn't even get a perfect score and this individual scored worse than me.

Obviously I'm salty about this. I assume their justification is that they scored in the 99th percentile, so to them that's "perfect". They charge

I want to apply to Columbia and NYU, but I’m below median at both. I graduated from university with a 3.93 in a stem major, but dual enrollment from high school drags me to a 3.77.

Is there a max GPA past which addendums are not good to write? Is there even a point, since I assume they can see that my GPA was higher at university? I’ve seen addendums recommended in similar situations which is why I ask.

So I'm 23, I finished undergrad early a couple years ago in a biology major and applied to various med schools. Stats wise my app was pretty much equivalent to my law app, but my ec's and letters were bad and ec's just ok and I got rejected everywhere. I've been self-employed since.

So, I veered to law school instead and am interested in applying next cycle. I have a 173, ~3.77, no relevant EC's I think, state school, and Idek where I'm going to get my letters from so at best they will be terrible.

So basically the question is with garbage softs what're my chances at columbia and/or nyu and maybe other t14s with these stats next cycle? I'm planning on applying ED at one or the other if

I have a 3060ti, an asus tuf gaming x570 mobo, and a super flower leadex iii 750w. I built the pc a few weeks ago and it's worked great. I've taken it back home with me in the car (2 hours each way) a couple times since building it, and upon trying to boot it for the first time today since driving back from home, there was no display output. What I should have done at this point is check the fans on the GPU to see if they were running (I assume this would have told me if it was getting power), but I did not do that.

Instead, I took off the side panel and pushed in the gpu slightly (it barely moves) as well as tightened the power cable slightly. Everything looked perfectly fine before I

The instructions from my school's packet compiler are pretty detailed and don't say anything about adding additional authors (AMCAS has like 10 slots for them) in my letter entry. So, I just need to put the primary author (the person in charge of compiling letters) and not the names of any of the actual letter writers?

Just wanted to make sure it isn't implied that I should do that.

I had 4 professors agree to write letters for me, all of which know me equally not well tbh. 3 of them are definitely science, and 1 of them is psychology. I’m not sure if that counts as non-science?

3 of my writers have submitted their letters to my school’s packet compiler. My packet compiler is going to take 5-10 days to submit the packet after all the letters are in.

I told the final writer (science) over 2 weeks ago that I absolutely needed the letter in the next 1–1.5 weeks. She hasn’t replied to my last few emails since then.

I don’t expect any of my letters to be stellar, but I feel like this one will be particularly rushed if I even wait for it.

Is there any reason at all to
