Recommended: A paper on hindsight bias

Hindsight Bias- Thinking a solution from the past can also be used for the future. To get into Gateway I worked hard in my fifth grad to get my grades up, once sixth grade comes I did not work as hard, but I still got accepted to Gateway. Since this worked if I work hard my junior year during my senior year I do not have to worry about grades because colleges will pick me only for my junior year. This is a negative impact to me because this could hurt my chances of going to I wish to go to or having my acceptance removed. iv. Base Rate Fallacy- Ignoring what seems to be “irrelevant” information that does not connect with your ideals. The statistics show there is not a likely chance of me being accepted into the school just by

    .... If you fail, you will not graduate early. Also when you hear all the announcements for seniors going on field trips, you do not get to go. The reason why the seniors are going on those field trips is because the sophomores and juniors have PSATs or other testing that they need to do. This includes you. You are still required to take all the standardized tests.

  • Reflection Paper On Implicit Bias

    1211 Words  | 3 Pages

    Growing up in a very accepting and forward home, I always found myself to be free of most bias. Having been the target of some racial prejudice in the past, I always told myself that I would make sure nobody else had to feel the same way. While this may be a great way to think, it really only covers the fact that you will not have any explicit bias. What I have realized during the course of this class is that implicit bias often has a much stronger effect on us than we might think, and even the most conscious people can be affected.

  • My Senior Year

    511 Words  | 2 Pages

    Grades are one of the most important factors of my high school career. My grade point average and my SAT's determine what college I go to. They determine my effort at high school. I must do whatever possible to keep my grade point average above 3.0. My GPA currently is ok, but if I could increase it by just .2 I would be much better off. Grades are very crucial for getting acceptance to college. They are one of the major things that colleges look at to accept you (or so I have been told). So I will keep pushing myself so that my grades will increase this year, making it possible for me to hopefully enter a better school then I can right now.

  • Why I Want to Pursue a Higher Education

    Before I attended TC3 I went through fourteen years of school. High school, grades nine through twelve were by far the most important four years of my career. My parents were constantly on me about having my grades up. They always told me what I did in those four year would determine my choices for college. Through the four years I tried to keep all my grades above 85. I struggled in some classes but most of the time I was able to keep my grades at the standard my parents requested. When I graduated, I was able to choose from many colleges. I had scored well on my SAT. They told me I could go to whatever college I was accepted into. I knew that I wanted to have a good career and I would be able to pursue my college dreams and wrestle in college.

  • Enhancing My Application: Overcoming Low GRE and GPA

    784 Words  | 2 Pages

    After speaking with Dr. Kelly Sass and Byron Bork about my application this past application cycle, the weakest parts of my application are my GRE score and GPA. We had discussed how they were below average and that re-taking the GRE and taking a graduate-level course would be two good options. While I did work hard and diligently throughout college, always improving my GPA each semester, I knew when I was applying that my science GPA was lower than Iowa’s accepted average. That alone did not stop me from applying to a school that I wish so badly to attend. I did what I could control from the moment I sent in my application last July and I strived to get A’s in all my courses my senior year. I ended my senior year with my highest semester GPA

  • Essay On Social Cognitive Aspects Of Decision Making

    Further, past experiences can also impact future decision making. Juliusson, Karlsson, and Garling (2005) claimed that on the basis of past experiences people infer in future. If there was a positive result in past, then people are more likely to decide in a similar way, if are given a similar situation. Again, in real life when one encountered a sudden event like an accident for the first time, people accumulate these informations as knowledge or believe in their memory. These accumulated knowledge and believes are known as cognitive structure. Our mind is consists of vast amount of su...

    Like Odysseus there are multiple things that could hinder my chance of getting into a good college like trying to achieve good grades, avoiding affiliating with people who are not trustworthy, and finding time to volunteer and help my community. Maintaining good grades is very hard to do considering in order to get good grades one must choose whether they want to work hard or have fun and free time, similar to Odysseus who must make a choice whether to sail past the six-headed monster, Scylla, and "'and lose six of [his] crew'" or sail past Carybdis and possibly slip past or "'lose them all at once'"(Homer 140). One choice is obviously better in both cases, in mine it would be to work hard and sacrifice free time because in the long run showing dedication in the quality of your wo...

  • My Biggest Adventure

    1218 Words  | 3 Pages

    To start off my story I was born and raised in the same city my entire life. I grew up in the same neighborhood and even the same house, never to fully experience the sensation of moving into a new house or having to make new friends at a different school. Some may say I was lucky I never had to move, but deep down in my heart I always wanted to be that new kid and feel see what it feels like. Worst of all, my schools I had attended were only about ten minutes away from my house; all of them. School never really was one of my interests and because of that I never really studied and did homework in class instead of listening to my teachers. I just did enough to graduate from my high school and do it with grades I thought were acceptable. And of course they were acceptable enough for an acceptance letter from my first choice school, Northern Arizona University.
