doingthestuff@lemy.lol 2 weeks agoYeah I got some experimental dentistry as I kid because it was 10% the cost of braces. It left me unable to floss because it is so painful. And as of today I haven’t been able to go to the dentist in over 20 years. The only thing being white ever got me was no college scholarships.

You should apply anyway. At least 5 of the various scholarships I got while in College/University were laid aside for someone of some demographic that I didn’t fit, but I fit the other qualifications, and I was the only one that applied. Go through the scholarship books at your local library and use the qualifications to include not exclude, you’ll get results and a free education that way.

That ship has sailed, I got my education a long time ago. I did have nearly perfect SATs, 1570 out of 1600 and also had sports and community service, had the 2nd highest GPA in my class of 800 coming out of high school in the San Francisco area. I could have gone anywhere, but I couldn’t get scholarships and wasn’t confident enough in what I wanted to study to take out big loans for Ivy League schools.
In retrospect I’m glad I didn’t go to an elite school. The elite are generally all terrible people.
