Yep, the biggest class we have seen on schedule at Rhodes had 30 student. That actually creates problems with registration since classes all open at the same time and it becomes a push button competition.

What are the ramifications if I don’t tell my mother that I opened up an account hypothetically. Is it a good idea not to ask :sob:

None, since it’s just a practice account.
Don’t talk about it, if she sees you doing it just tell the truth, that it’s a practice account so you’re ahead when August rolls around.

No punishment. I need to apply anyway. School said get ready. I am ready. What is the problem, mom?

I’m okay :sob:

After I submit everything is visible right, so I shouldn’t put down religion, sexual orientation, preferred name, etc?

Should I just put prefer not to answer when applicable.

For sexual orientation I can probably play it off as not wanting to sympathize with LGBT issues by saying I’m straight or something

It wants my home address will it send me mail :sob:

It helps to make an email address just for college applications. Otherwise,important Emails can get lost.

I don’t think you will get into honors at either.

You may feel that you are ok, but this is not ok. Please tell your counselor.

Most colleges don’t care about your LGBTQ orientation. It’s not a hook so it’s fine to say whatever you want in the questions and/or essays. It won’t help or hurt you.

At most medium/largecolleges, even if there are large lecture classes, there are often small, mandatory “sections” of about 20 students who meet once or twice a week with a TA (teaching assistant) to review the material.

And, though a large lecture class may seem overwhelming, if you sit at the front and ignore the students behind you, it can feel less large. And if the professor is one who asks questions and calls on students, there you’ll be, right at the front of the class ready to engage.

And as for small classes
 some professors only lecture and don’t engage with students during class time, even in small classes, so that can be more like what you might be imagining a large lecture class to be like—as in, a small class may still have little to no student /faculty interaction. It all depends on the class and the professor.

And you mentioned office hours. Yes to office hours — the ones held by the professor and also the ones held by the TA. That’s where you can ask specific questions and get help with any confusing content, OR explore content you already understand more deeply. Students are not bothering faculty and TAs when they go to office hours. It’s what college students are SUPPOSED to do.

Oh okay

Ok thank you

I’m okay

Even if you’re okay you want to mention it to your GC so there’s a trace of it (in case something goes wrong, it won’t come out of nowhere).

On commonapp, you don’t have to check anything in the sexual orientation box. It doesn’t matrer to admissions - it’s just to put you in touch with on campus groups and tailor their mailings.
You may want to check the African American/Black box and “Christian”, so that they send you info you can use with your mom when time comes.

You need to create a specific, college-dedicated email you check everyday. Something like CollegeRosechildNJ@
That’s what you’ll use with “join our mailing list”.

You took the SAT and are taking the ACT. Check the box about getting information mailed to you. Literally 400 colleges will start sending you glossy brochures. Your mom won’t know which among them you specifically requested. :wink:
For this, you may check AA/Black but nothing else (not religion).

Do not submit anything in commonapp- but do “join our mailing list”, at colleges named on this thread.
:muscle:
This can actually be fun :raised_hands::sparkles:⚘ :rainbow:
