@JungleJim4232 No someone called the financial aid office about this and they said they havent downloaded their FAFSA yet (and it disappeared from their portal)
@scriant my boxes are big too just not different sizes
So does it seem more people have the fafsa or do not?
I think it seems to be 50/50
I don’t
I feel like more don’t but I could be totally off. I know people that submitted fafsa in January with last names all over the alphabet that don’t have it showing on there, so no idea what’s going on! 48 hours lol
Sorry if this has been asked before, but does anyone know exactly what time decisions will be released on the 16th?
@smollhuman “Late afternoon” is all they gave us
@smollhuman i think they only said late afternoon
Just to add more conspiracy to the mix, I also have the FAFSA, last name starts with S, submitted mid-February
@VaishS aw, I wish they would give a time so I would know when it would all be over! Then again, maybe it’s better to drift through Wednesday afternoon in a state of vague yet benign anxiety
maybe the fafsa thing might have something to do with being deferred from EA? i was deferred and i dont have fafsa and i submitted all of my docs back in november
Nope, friends don’t have it submitted in January and applied rd.
okay i’m new to this thread and i have absolutely no idea what is going on with this FAFSA thing. can someone explain. ?
okay so what if i submitted the FAFSA but forgot to add uchicago as a school? Is that bad?
@perksofbeingdani Even if you won’t qualify for financial aid, being denied financial aid allows your parents to apply for parent plus loans and you to be considered for Stafford loans/work study. UChicago not being on the list is a problem…
Please let me know what you think of my essay. It was a response to prompt one (Orange is the new Black):
Trance Is The New Pop
Alright, you may already be wondering what trance is. In simple words, it is a genre of music, but in reality, it is a whole lot more. But first, I will discuss pop, a topic that is much, much more familiar.
Pop has forever been the most popular music genre, in numerous cultures around the world. Topping the music charts are mostly songs by very modern artists, from Rihanna to Justin Bieber. Almost everyone likes pop music, mainly due to its seamless mixture of fresh, coherent rhythms with exceptional vocal abilities. This is exactly why pop is about to be outdated: it has forever been the mainstream genre followed my most music listeners, that it overshadows what may be another sensationally electrifying type of music lurking in the outskirts of the musical world, that almost no one has heard about: trance.
Trance, as the word may suggest, is a modern dimension of music that aims to summon a state of trance amongst its passionate listeners, using its powerful beats and meaningful lyrics together to seamlessly entertain. It is one that captivates, but does not overshoot the limit when doing so. It entertains, without ever being restricted to a certain form or flow of musical instruments.
It implements various instruments, and offers complete flexibility: it has no standardized formula, making artists create songs that go as far in variety and style as theirs win imagination. Simply, it’s an open ecosystem that gives artists complete power to tailor their music their precise ideas. It can involve classic instruments like the guitar and violin, but in almost any theme, including ones where you would not expect to find such instruments. For instance, the guitar mostly resembles an instrument of tranquility and subdued relaxation in pop, but in trance, you may be struck with a very fast-paced pattern of guitar notes, something you would not typically find in a mainstream pop song.
Not only that, but trance’s special, and perhaps only, solidified character is its inclusion of electronic instruments to create harmonious rhythms. It implements many digital sounds, but in a coherent and exciting pattern that truly gives any song it’s flavor. It can be romantic, intense, fearful, or whichever you want it to be.
It has not started its rise and complete recognition as a famous music form, but it has certainly gained an audience for many places around the world, and this is why trance has a very exciting prospect waiting ahead for it. It’s unparalleled flexibility and combination of both physical and electronic sounds are certainly two qualities that pop may never have, or ever will, possess.
