    I had a few hundred riding on the chiefs from bonus/promo offers, though I hedged and had a few parlays which scored and got me around $100 up, so I'm real happy with the outcomes.

    Easily at least a week (after that it depends on your food safety tolerances, for me I've used it for a month or so and it tasted fine). You can also easily scale this down to a half batch.

    I would recommend making it in a squeeze bottle, so it's easy to shake up and dispense.

    Is this a program where the higher ranking schools (that you can realistically get into) will have a drastically better outcome for your goals than the current one? If that's the case I would recommend waiting and re-applying, but, if not, I'd do more introspection about whether the vibe/culture is bad enough to outweigh the benefits of losing out on a year of progress.

    As someone who went to a good American public school and only has some familiarity with the Cambridge system, could you expand on why you think the US AP system outperforms it?

    The good publishers will also (in theory) vet papers for scientific quality (and often novelty) through editorial review and peer review. There is a clear difference in general quality from a paper published in a Cell Press journal compared to an MDPI journal, for instance.

    This is not me endorsing the publishers' general practices, however.
