• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    B-but that's /not enough/! Grandparents are supposed to spoil their grandchildren, and giving red envelopes is already practically required.

    Does this mean you view feeding your child as "spoiling" them

    Hey Linoone bulbasaur is apparently my grandson

    Does that mean I have to spoil him with tons and tons of gifts

    Will you object to these gifts

    If they're breaking even: then the essay reader would read n essays per hour. $10 n (10 dollars per essay) = 60 (paid per hour); n = 6 per hour
    And $60 was just some arbitrary large figure

    What homework?
    :P

    Well yeah, I'm assuming that they make no profit on college applicants - that they wish only to reach a break-even.

    It's spring break here! Of course, all of my spring break work plans have gone out the window, unaccomplished tasks are piling up, etc, etc

    Assuming they pay their essay-readers $60 an hour:
    $10 per essay => 6 essays per hour => 10 minutes per essay => Not exactly thorough consideration of each applicant

    Haha, I got addicted to MITFML. There goes my productivity for the day!
    bulbasaur
    That's $10 an essay!

    Hey, Type I/II error (whatever those are)

    ""Today, I got cold-called in class to answer a question about a text I’d forgotten at home. Embarrassed after fumbling the question in front of everyone, I closed my eyes to try to regain composure– only to get publicly yelled at by the prof for “sleeping in class.” FML""

    See you there, Linoone!
    ...we all know who you are...

    Incidentally, since you live so close to it, you did apply to Stanford, right?

    Hmm, in Cheyenne or in the middle of nowhere?

    ((yes, I know what it actually stands for))

    "Alarm didn’t go off this morning. I noticed when I woke up on my own and didn’t feel utterly sleep deprived. FML"
    bulbasaur
    Yeah let me go to Peurto Rico to finish my studies :(

    "I have truly found paradise"-- not so bad for the school motto!

    "Hypothesis: Final 10 page paper for HASS class will write itself. Experiment: 3 hour nap in the middle of the night. Results: no change in paper. Conclusion: paper will not, in fact, write itself. It’s due in less than twelve hours. FMExhaustedLife"

    Ugh I should immigrate to the US shouldn't I
    *slinks to Dalhousie University*

    What is that supposed to mean?

    The school that I will never get in to? Sure, mommy Linoone!

    Also "In high school, I made myself feel better about not being so popular by telling myself that they wouldn’t achieve anything later in life and that I was better off in the long run. Now I go to MIT, and that doesn’t work anymore. FML."
    bulbasaur
    ... Googled it, and uhh... o_O
    This is true though! "Negative Feedback at MIT: The more you study, the more you realize that you are going to fail. FML."
    bulbasaur
    I know it's just that I've already developed an affinity toward MIT I mean ugh Caltech *furrows face in disgust*

    If it's not too much, could I see your rejection/acceptance letters?
