It's not a bad call to try to stray from the cliche but don't make it inauthentic. If you can provide a valid and meaningful argument for your thesis, then I would stick with your gut. They get enough essays of people telling them what they want to hear. On my essay with a similar prompt, I...

The minimum requirement for female push ups is 15, but of course you should strive for more. Remember the threshold. And try to do at least 1 pull up if you can. 1 pull up looks way better than the max for flexed arm hang.

If you submitted those scores right now, you would not pass. Not only is there a minimum requirement for each event, but there is also a minimum score threshold. Just because you pass every event doesn't mean you will pass the CFA. Therefore, you should strive to work as hard as you can...

Sean, Sorry to hear you're on the struggle bus. I am too! As a reapplicant, I don't have the issue of sports and AP exams on the line, but with the coronavirus becoming more and more prevalent, I am afraid it will have a negative impact on admissions and the medical waiver I am waiting on. I am...

You are wise beyond your years, my friend. There's no shortage of well-versed and academically inclined teenagers on this forum, but the sense of community you have established is remarkable. This virus is scary and life is short, and I am so happy that you have the opportunity to do excellent...

Congratulations! My DQ was posted 09-Dec-19, so I’m still holding out hope. Best of luck to you this summer!

That’s amazing! Do you mind sharing the timeline for your waiver process? I’m currently waiting on a waiver for the exact same condition.

Hahaha I keep coming back to this thread.. 2Q with nom and waiting on medical waiver here. I feel like I’m extra nervous because at any point, admissions could disqualify me which would completely throw a wrench in my plans. Glad to know I’m not alone during this anticipation marathon! Good luck...

Absolutely! He was phenomenal

I had to resubmit push ups a 2nd time and pull ups a 3rd! It’s very important that the form is perfect. 1 perfect pull up and 15 perfect push ups for females, 3 perfect pull ups and 35 perfect push ups for males. Good luck!

I got the DQ on December 9th and my waiver was initiated on January 14th. I was never notified that a waiver was initiated, I just logged into my portal one day and saw it. Waiting indeed is very nerve-wracking. I wish you all the best of luck, hopefully we can all get through this process...

I second this!! You did better than me in every event except the mile run and I passed, but I know you are far above the minimum for the mile. If you did “fail”, it has to be because of your form in the videos. I had to resubmit push ups once and had to resubmit pull ups twice! If you don’t...

My waiver was requested on January 14th, they never asked me for any more info though! Hopefully everything goes smoothly. I’d love to hear back from you when your daughter gets any correspondence!

Do you mind sharing your scores? I’m curious as to what event they’re saying you failed, especially since you submitted so early and never heard anything about it... I know RCs can authorize a retest as well.. seems ridiculous that a seemingly competitive candidate’s portal would be closed so...
