This looks great! I found a bug on Safari on my iPhone where the sidebar download button leads you to the TestFlight beta download instead of the actual app. I'm glad the wellness space is being explored more and more with technology.

The greatest source of admissions inequity is childhood socioeconomic status. Dropping the SAT is so obviously not a fix for that I question the competency of the administrators who thought doing so was a good idea.
The SAT is probably the most attainable piece of the application process for a poor kid to succeed at. You literally just need a guide book or two and enough time to study. One good smart friend helps if you're lucky enough to have one. Literally the lowest barrier to entry for a kid stuck in a shitty school with parents that aren't around and no money to your name. Is it still a hurdle for poor kids? Undoubtedly, but I can't think of anything that can show academic capacity that requires fewer resources.
This rings true for myself and a couple of my friends who grew up relatively poor in a wealthy area - our test scores on the SAT and relevant subject tests boosted us into private schools that we would not have gone to otherwise, which then led us to well-paying jobs right out of college. Last I checked, my high school implemented affordable/free SAT tutoring for all students and I hope to see more of it nationwide as I believe it helps immensely in socioeconomic mobility.

Another variant: if you can afford to and work permits, temporarily relocate somewhere for awhile. Rent a minimal-cost place for a month+.
As one option, look into professional house-sitting (common in US, not sure elsewhere). Essentially, people with high end homes, who are going to be away for a period, who want someone they can trust not to wreck the place to just be there.
But essentially, just live somewhere else for a minute. For me it takes about 5 days to start living instead of visiting.
After my mother's cancer diagnosis, when treatment was in progress but surgery still scheduled some time away, and I had a job I hated, with co-workers whose morals I didn't share... I spent a few weeks in Japan and Thailand. (Mostly paid by reward points, long saved)
It was amazing how refreshing my view on my own life was, from a different vantage point.
When I got back, I quit the job, took some time off with the aid of savings, and spent time with my mom through her treatment. I'm not sure I would have realized that was the right path without the distance. (And it finally resulted in one of the best jobs of my career)
do you have any resources for how to get into professional house-sitting? sounds like it would expand horizons in a very accessible way!
You’re misunderstanding what a short squeeze means. There’s no singular “the squeeze” - no specific point in time where everyone who holds a short position has to simultaneously obtain the underlying stock. If everyone who wants out of their short position has gotten out, there’s no guarantee that any further squeeze will be forthcoming.
I don't think you understand - the assumption that they already got out doesn't hold because shorted shares/float data is publicly accessible[1]. Now I'm sure what happened today allowed them to cover some of their losses partially, but not even close to all of it.
Why is that so? Trading volume was over 175 million each of Friday, Monday, and Tuesday. Do we have some way of knowing exactly what the price should be when they exit?
Robinhood would not put themselves in such a precarious position if they had already exited - also as for the price target of when they actually do start covering their shorts, they are still currently short more than the available amount of shares on the market - the current trading range of around 200-300 cannot be the squeeze.
This is ONLY if you enable margin trading via Robinhood Gold - they increased their margin requirements recently on GME and this will not happen to you if you are trading on cash.

I honestly feel bad for all the employees, especially the early ones with equity that were looking forward to cashing out after the IPO - now they have to deal with immensely negative PR and federal investigations.
