I think you can also look on the drinks parts. Bcoz on the low traditional place you earn 3$ for every dollar spent on drinks but on the high end place you earn less than 3$ for every dollar spent. As a usual practise a same drink will be higher at the high end end place compared to traditional place.

Thank you all so much, I really enjoyed and learnt a lot from this Video. I am David S Jumu from Sierra Leone. I will appreciate it if you do another video for International students applying for an On-campus

Is the SAT this easy?

at the end u could just divide y^2 by y and 5y by y to get y=5

Understand y is around 5 from looking at it plug-in the multiple choice answers quickly for y solve super fast no need for extra math

That’s smart bro

I had a question specifically about extracurricular activities and school groups. What are some extracurriculars or school groups that give you a higher chance of getting into a deferred program? Additionally, within these school groups, is it more advantageous to start your own group or lead an existing one? Does the size of the group, such as the number of students led, play a role in the selection process for deferred programs? It would be great if you could also make a more detailed video about this and share your personal experiences and activities that contributed to your acceptance into the GSB deferred program.

Great video
