Messaging me of all people, and by birchbark scroll nonetheless, makes it pretty clear you have not cut ties as thoroughly as you meant to, or at least kept in your back pocket the way to mend them again.
Before the Scholastic Aptitude Test was developed in the 1920s, students seeking admission to Princeton (officially named the College of New Jersey until 1896), as well as many other colleges, would sit for an entrance exam. This one, ca. 1880, would have been offered twice each summer in Princeton as well as in St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, and San Francisco. In 1880, the exams included English grammar and composition, world and U.S. history, geography, Latin grammar and literature, Greek grammar and literature, and mathematics.

I need 4 CCs of education! (not a medical post)
Hello goslings! It’s Friday!
So I hope you’re having a great year so far. For seniors, your graduation and future (*shivers*) are fast approaching. As your friendly neighborhood student blogger, I want to help relieve some anxieties. As such, the post today is about what prospective students / freshmen should expect from college-level classes (CCs).
If you were in IB, you’re prepared!
I also did the International Baccalaureate program, and i feel like the exertion put out in high school IB is the same level as college. College may even be easier!
If you took AP, you’re still okay!
I’ve only taken one AP class (psych) and I remember doing note cards, daily questions, and frequent tests. You’ll probably need to learn your exact study habits so you can study more effectively and excel once you’re in college But you’re still on your way!
If you took Honors, just be ready for faster classes.
I attended Honors classes through all of middle school. They are somewhat harder than CP, but I was able to get through it with minimal studying and effort. If you also had this luck, you should get ready to try harder in college. Learn what studying styles are best for you (Should you take colored notes? Or record lectures and play them back? Or make small, relevant pictures?) and employ them as much as possible.
You’ll also want to get ready for harder classes, especially in Intro classes. Since there is so much to cover, you have to pay attention to every detail as teachers attempt to show you multiple concepts within one week. But don’t be scared! We have office hours for a reason!
If you took CP classes, try your best from the beginning!
There’s nothing worse than being left behind in the first few weeks of classes. It could make the whole semester become awful! If you took CP classes in high school, you’re still well-educated! You just need to be willing to put in the extra time if classes are moving too fast or you get distracted easily. Depending on what courses you choose, the level of difficulty varies. Many people say college becomes harder as time goes on. But I don’t agree! If you learn effective habits (even if it takes a while to learn them), then you can just adjust as your college life continues.
What are effective habits, you ask? Well, they are: using professor’s office hours, visiting the help centers (Writing Center and Quantitative Skills Center), talking to upperclassmen or peers for help, and just making sure you reach out if you feel like you’re drowning. We do our best to understand each other on this campus!
And for all levels of education, don’t forget, you can plan your schedule anyway you want. You’re future’s in your hands!
I hope that clears things up for you all! Until next time!
(P.S. The title if 4 CCs because the average class schedule for a student is 4 classes.)

Title. Why don’t more people seem to know about this school?? I didn’t even hear about it until a kid from my hs went last year but now it’s 100% my dream school. Lots of flexibility to explore your major, small class sizes, the campus is drop-dead gorgeous… Oh, and did i mention killer merit aid?
Only downside is they don’t seem to use the common app and some of their essay questions are a bit… odd.
Is elsewhere university accepting applications? Where can I go to apply? Do they need to be written in blood? Should I use my true name? Do they have an email address, or should I mail it in? What's the chance that a fey would intercept the letter? Can I decrease that chance in any way? Are any teeth required? Am I more likely to get in with a letter of recommendation from one of the courts?
Yes
CommonApp is fine
No, it’s all online
For this alone; yes. The applications office is heavily, heavily warded and the subject of significant treaties with various entities over the years. Everyone can agree on the necessity of new students.
Commonapp, again
Low to nonexistant, because of said treaties and the catastrophic effect that the Gentry have upon any electronics they interact with
No, probably not
No, absolutely not
It really, really depends on who’s writing it
its been over two years since I last went camping or sailing. I can feel the concrete and asphalt of the suburbs and the city replacing my bones and weighing me down. I haven't seen the sun in days, and am not sure if thats a blessing or not. I'm filling out college applications about now. I might have to read my acceptance letter for this university that I don't remember applying to. Maybe I should go. Maybe it will do me good.
I stumbled my way past Elsewhere many a time, and thought nothing more of it - I was but a child, not yet ready. But then I grew older and curiouser, falling into studying a Language Not My Own But Almost, and then came along the Longing and the Seeking for things that are More, and now I find myself Lingering in Shadows that reach too long, Listening for Their Songs and Their Stories... and I find that Staying Awhile feels more appealing with each Whisper they will let me have.
