Are even the financial need ones essay-based?
Also, yeah, we all know which majors essay requirements favour.
If they don't, I'm not getting accepted anywhere good.
Sucked as much as i expected.
Well, at least I'm watching AHS. Everything's good

Not having read the essay: Eh, this kid is nothing special. Not the kind of awesomeness we want in our school.
Having read the essay: Holy shit, he had all those health issues, and he still worked hard enough to get those grades? Accepted!
"Isn't a 50 a passing grade in Canada? A 65, by American education standards, is a failing grade, I'm pretty sure (or at least, at my school, anything below a 70 fails). So a 65 in Canadian education is probably closer to 80's here."
Yeah, 50 is the passing grade and you can get an A- with an 80. To be honest, I'm not sure whether that implies Canada rewards mediocrity or whether the US overvalues grades, but knowing how the curve works in university (average is about B- in first year and rises to B+ in fourth year engineering), there's probably a difference in how strict the marking is. Also, Canadian grade schools don't have GPA's, or at least that I know of.
Yeah, 50 is the passing grade
That may be true in the rest of the country, but the passing grade is 60% for nearly everything in Québec.
My professor had us watch this in class today
I am not entirely sure what I watched
Yay, high standards of mediocrity.
Also, i'm starting to think i have daddy issues.
Not surprising, really. The school is excellent, but the administration is an absolute joke.
Feels good, man.
Juan - There's a lot of members in that club, including me. It's probably better than seeing your father as perfect or blindly hating him. It's more realistic.
How do you describe someone who you admire and yet despise?
Because...well, yeah.
Blah, i guess i'll have to deal with the therapist.
I think most of us have complex views on at least one parent.
I wish I could raise a tankard of mead with you.
Oh well, i guess there's not much i can do till friday.
So, the archetypical NiceGuy and an old highschool brodette are in a relationship, according to Facebook. Reactions of "I already knew" and "it's about time" confirm that her closest social circle now consists almost entirely of unstable emo douchenozzles.
Welp, that at least solves the dilemma of which of the break-uppers not to invite for the vacation reunion dinner I'll never get to planning.
Put simply for me, there's a cognitive dissonance in being told about that perfect nuclear family that everyone seems to have and realizing that your family is not like that. And later on learning that you've been lied to about that perfect nuclear family.
And I must admit, the reason I tend to be wary about people complaining about their parents is because I don't see the other side of the story on the Internet.
