tru but it's something i could put on the app right
esp cause i'm playing into SEAP for my app
pusing dh πΏ
IDK tbh. I just said I was fluent in Indonesian and said I spoke Malay cuz I spoke Indonesian too
LMAOOO NOOO
they're not the same
π
example being kereta
Eh, my Malay friends in Singapore understood maybe 75% of our conversations
maybe but like there's subtle diffs
kereta is car in malay and train in indo
80 now
imagine telling ur malay friends to go meet u at the stasiun kereta
they're gonna be like apa?
i mean are they really gonna make you sustain a conversation before entering cornell
yeah, the occasional hiccup like that happened
prob not but still
boost to ur app right
Maybe?
Maybe
Indonesian isn't a commonly spoken language in the US
esp not for US Citizens
That's true too
Yeah I think a ton of Indos got stranded in '98. My parents were too but they got Asylum
whats your play cornell
Jesus
we don't debate with people who have tails
oo
Do we have nuclear detterents
why π₯Ή
jatim
Yeah either way my parents were chinese indos so they were kinda screwed
it will be funny to see the regulars astonished
sama
yaa begitulah idup
they'll be heartbroken π
that would be terrible
exactly
gives us all practice for thursday
they're gonna be purged thursday???
mentally
probs better off here tho tbh. Bandung is a nightmare to live in.
what would a physical purge be like
Takes an hour to travel a single mile
..
at 6:59 PM ET i will put the threads on read only
NOOOO
word
L
I LOVE THIS THREAD
LOL
let us be depressed in peace
is that why ur doing cs?
no we need an intervention
i was actually just about to visit BDG next week yk
but my family friend got dengue fever
Probs not as bad as Jakarta traffic but Bandung still makes Los Angeles look light
and I quote from her dad: "Mau info rencana kita akan ke Bandung kemungkinan 90% batal karena Alexa kena DBD hari ini masuk RS..."
I dont know what that means
it's indonesian lmao
I only speak american
no offense but i don't really fw cali
too dry
Like literally or figuratively
LMAO what i was thinking
huh
Literally
huh what
We are in a drought
it's not humid here
new york >>>
Well it's winter rn so we're getting much-needed rain and snowfall
our summers have mad heat waves tho
yeah didnt the western US get a massive storm or smth?
sf heat waves are like 75F π
Ayooo, congratulations on 10,000 messages y'all that's huge.
- Sincerely uChicago thread
10000th msg
And we hit 10K!!!!π₯³ π π
nothing too massive afaik
uchi ea come faster
FUCK yall sent messages too close together and i missed it by one
lmfao
DUDE FR winters are so cold and last like 6 months and then summer kicks in with consistent 90 degree weather
at least upstate
blame @late jungle
π€¨
you talking about NY?
How is this my fault?
it literally is
yep
im joking but im the 10000th msg
i see, yeah thats true
upstate NY got some mad heat waves this summer
how far is ithaca from buffalo
is it that far
2.5 hours or so
bruh
I just posted once y'all hit 10K, didn't coordinate it so there was a high influx of posts all of sudden and mess it up on purpose
cause i have a family friend in Toronto
Would be so lit driving to canada to visit during the holidays
i'm kidding, i don't think my sarcasm went across so apologies π
Not bad. New York is perfect for weekending at Cornell. Mum used to go up to Tahoe during weekends to ski when she was in LA
yeah that wouldnt be that far of a drive tbh
enaknya cornell dia kan ad bis
bus down to NYC
It didn't, lowkey thought y'all hated me π It's okay. I understand now
exactly bro
My only problem with cornell is the cost/location tbh
bit far north
like why go to cornell for 30k if columbia is 23
i think columbia is 23k
mfw im farther north than cornell
dude isnt columbia the single most expensive school
still
no that's NYU
no reason
you applied to ualbany right
thats farther north lol
Would choose columbia fr
I got in but still
i wanna go to columbia
like bro Cornell L
mentioned wall e once on discord and its already popping up on my feed
bro lives in syracuse
i mean, my costs for cornell would be quite high since we wont be getting much financial aid, but its still my #1 choice nonetheless
Did you run the NPC yet?
yeah, it was really high lol
no we're middle class but that weird income group where its high enough to not get much financial aid but not high enough to afford full tuition
30k?
Yikes
anyhow for all y'all applying to Cornell COE
engineer this
oh my
I should have $0 efc
put this on the starboard
Psh
bonus points if you can guess what each plug goes to
which part of NY are you from?
this is scary
it's aight
nothing on the circuit is particularly high voltage/power-hungry
!columbia
buffalo
i mean it's just chaotic π
Wait @lost obsidian you gonna check in the morning?
ah cool π
ofc
No cause
sooner i know better
if i'm in i can stop writing essays
Ye
dude fr
I wonder why Miti aint on A2C yet
I have one port there
Nothing else
and an extension strip wouldn't work cause most of my plugs are US
Like look y'all it's only 23k
theres power strips with international plugs (like the universal one) so you could get one of those
π π
expensive
why would i spend more money when i already own all these plugs
thats really good
engineering majors be like
hence why columbia > cornell
Not for SEA studies tho
cornell >>>
columbia has higher tuition though (if you look at original costs before aid)
defo
!cornell
wait
does the financial portal thing actually work?
i dont wanna ruin my thursday cuz it didn't change
gee gee
No one knows
probably not
admissions tries to give as little signs about admission before decision date
but they didnt make graduation
i doubt they would make that sign obvious
And the website claims youβll only get fin aid decisions βsoon afterβ admissions decisions
was there any checklist on commonapp abt fa?
No, itβs on each individual schoolβs website
Some schools only require fafsa, some schools need css, some schools ask for idoc always, some have lots of fine print and different due dates etc
ngl this is an L move at all unis
SUNY Binghamton gave me an acceptance
but idek how much it'll cost
ok, i didnβt apply for fa so iβm so confused when i read smth abt it
You get a month to pay the deposit tho so you have time to haggle
tetap aja
Yeah ig
annoying asf
!cornell
!columbia
Yeah i think the ivies are all coming out the same date
Plus hella other schools too
Idk why 7pm tho. Strangely specific
i think i read somewhere that it tends to be the best time for most applicants, including intl
I think they should have done it like 10pm qatar time
World cup scheduling is pretty good on west coast
And Iβd get to have an audience watch me open my decision
why can't they just do it at 6am tmr
Yeah they did it on the 13th last year
lmao i had a friend who got into cmu on saturday
Ffs I was hoping to bail out of 2 finals
and he checked his portal at 6 and knew he got in
but after his soccer game ended he pretended to just figure out he got in with his parents lmao
How involved yalls parents in this? A2C has a huge amount of horror stories
yeah bruh
My parents just pay my application fees
i thought it would be a lot worse considering how controlling my parents were in middle school but so far they've been really laidback
Thats good
yup
plus they went to a t50 so i don't think they can hold much over my head :P
My private school is supposed to be chill but hella of the white parents are making their kids apply to certain schools or get certain SAT scores
Like IK a white kid who retook a 1540
bruh
Kidβs going for athletic recruitment too so it matters even less
i retook a 1500 and got the same exact score practically
bruh
asian wechat parents are kinda neurotic though
middle eastern dads bruh
noo π
Lmao
my dad was disappointed when i didnt get 1600 lmao
he thought i could do better than 99% LMAO
i hope you didn't feel bad because of him
lol my dad showed me his terrible GRE scores to make me feel better
no lmfao i just looked at the avg of all the schools i applied to
π π would he have gotten a 1600 if he took the test π
no
gotta give it to him that was really great tbh
β οΈ
bruh i retook 1530 just to get 800 in math and THAT DIDNT EVEN HAPPEN
not the 800 math
L man
its ok i didnt get it either
π
Besides 1530βs only like 10 points below average for even MIT
It wont be your math score that fucks you over at that point
im more worried about having submitted a CS reco instead of math
i hope the external math reco i sent in makes up for it
Why? You not tight with your cs teacher?
wait wdym external
Optional third lor
oh does the order matter?
Yeah
i hope so
And the stem teacher box ticked
my ext lor is kinda mid tho bc i wasnt planning on submitting an external reco till i realised the math thing
had to scramble one up
both my lors are mid dw π
but made sure it talked about calculus
Hmmm i wonder how much counselor recs matter cuz my counselor thinks im worth my weight in gold
ik one is good bc shes the school deputy head and apparently writes good LORs
but the CS one is prolly trash
its ok
my counselor and i have a strained relationship π
damn
damn
how do you get close with your counselor tho
literally lmao
Idk
like i meet mine maybe once a month
she's nice when i see her in person but she ghosts my emails for weeks
not even that anymore
i meet mine like twice a year bruh
lmaoo
I just drop by her office to get help a lot
like towards ea ed deadline i obv met her more but how do u get close
I did my shit properly.
Apparently i was the only kid who did my uc a-g classes right
First try
π€· my school has like 6 counselors for 2k kids
like "heres my updated application for cornell also did you know i have deep repressed trauma lemme tell u about it"
And our ratio is like 1:75 seniors
dam
hey have yall seen the counselor newsletters
what π
from cornell
uh wdym
Those exist?
Where? How?
does it matter when the parent ed agreement is signed?
oh so it's public info
bc i got it signed like a couple days ago...
9500+ applications apparently
both over 9.5k π
yup which is good
yes..
bc last year also was 9.5k
so no freak acceptance rate drops
hopefully
I hope
Thats expected
lmao bruh i got a 790 two times in a row
No reason for rates to increase
hopefully 9.5k+ means 9.5k+ and not 10k+ π
i have a 780 man
Last dramatic increase was just cuz test optional
same!
YOURE GOOD CHILL
its ok at that point its just a matter of luck
Thats one question wrong or two
the thing that i heard tho was that ED rates are inflated...
bro has 5k followers https://www.linkedin.com/in/shawnfelton
according to a2c thats not the case π its been driving me insane seeing the ed numbers people are reporting from their schools
I cant talk shit tbh its midnight and ive got a chem final and im stressing about this
its fine they accept region wise
they save spots for college prof children + legacy + recruited athletes
so only those people are fucked π
Athletes make up a smaller proportion of cornell than they would at an LAC due to cornells size
bay area kids screwed
but cornell has seperate schools
i hope no one from my city applied coe
(me)
Oh im chilling lmao Iβm one of teo, the other is an athlete
Anecdotally most athletes end up at Dyson. That school is disproportionately athletes and legacies
not fine for a mid student in an insanely competitive school in southern california π₯²
if i dont get cornell or georgia tech imma head off to canada
Idk
i hope not
The other kid apllying ed from my school is doing econ at CAS
the two other eders from my school did cas
athletic recruite
math and psych
oof
lmfaooo
praying no one did cals from my school
oh yeah where does everyone get the statistics of how many people from their school applied? I've never seen that recorded at my school
naviance
Scattergrams
Like that
asking around
our counsellor told us
me who wants to apply to dyson but isn't an athlete/legacy
Huh, all our dataβs just posted on our school website
F
THIS OTHER GIRL WAS GONNA APPLY CS AT COE but she ended up applying stanford thank fuck
π
should i or should i just apply A&S
Fuck, thatβs rough.
Idk man, AEM has some fine girls
Ik a girl there who swims from my school
AIS 
Super cute
should i check my schools scattergram based on GPA or IB score
what
hm
Still
ain't the acceptance rate like 2%
5 isnβt much better than 2
You could do Nolan-lots of billionaires from there
Private school advantage at its finest
literally
It's 250% over 2
what's wrong with this
1542 π
π
Weird. On scoir the counselors input data so no shenanigans
1550
1540 no superscore π«‘
sheesh
i have a 1540 superscore π€£
1470 raw
1570 raw
bro's cracked
F
Aren't they op this year
or are they blind
pure luck... my practices were all 1460-1480
mm
my gpa lowk screwing me over rn
lmao
Thatβs more than salvageable
love how y'all consider 89s "salvageable" when i'm like yooooo 86 avg lesgoooo
yes
what's a c- number-wise?
70%
π cracked
yes what lmao
yes... procrastination moment
true
me when I get dSAT marks
my lowest grade is a 69 π
EASY 1550 superscore
uhh my lowest is a 8 so yeah
my only goal this year is to keep my grades somewhat up lol
its not on my transcript fwiw
can't find my docs
good goal
amen
I have barely an A- in 2 classes but if I need to do RD my counselor will make up some excuse in my midterm report if the grades dip
out of 100 yes
priv school kids be like
That's good tho
@next gulch do u happen to go to lhs?
True but if those become 2 B+sβ¦
lynbrook?
idk what that is sorry lol
i should be able to do that at my school but the counselor is my director and he's british 
Lowell
oh
Peasant school
i don't go to lowell
@gleaming galleon harusnya kan kl orang indo bisa korupsi 
my hs isn't known for cracked/sweaty kids
nah bc the stuff u sent was like lynbrook
what stuff π
Oh yeah I hear internationals get up to hella shenanigans in the name of college admissions
i'd never live in san jose π€’
nah πΏ wtf is this
Not at my school tho 
3??
where'd you find that LMAO
my naviance
which section
Interesting
idk where to find that
u think that's bad...
Thatβs fucked
Yo any intl here who got finaid email? Need to talk abiut something
jesus 93????
scary
yea
If theyβre asking for documents, that means youβre missing documents
bay area
I have questions related documents
HEL π π
!cornell
i'm below like every gpa line
my school's acceptance rate
Thanks to our scattergram half the bloody school thinks Iβm a shoo-in
π
i have so many Bs LMAO
holy
scary
CORNELL?
yes
Bloody hell
I really am lucky I dont go to public school
Our AP Lit final yesterday was a vocab quiz ffs
bro who tf
yeah
our ap eng teachers are sadists π
i dont know a single person w/ an a in those classes
i'm done
wait till u see this
bruh
shit is so red that there are blobs of red
stacks of red
β οΈ
bro got blood clots in the scattergram
no lol
Sacred Heart?
Saratoga?
ππ
WAIT
and the funny thing is i have a 1540
thats not funny
Is Boys State actually hard to get into? Our school sent 4 kids cuz the interviewer was an alum so idk
π whats wrong with your school
i know like one person from my school who was invited to boys state or offered an interview idk
ultra competitive
Just one?
you'll always find someone better than u at something LMAO
Yeah dont compare yourself. Only your success matters.
tbf i dont talk to many people
preach
π«‘
I heard in some parts of South Bay only one kid per district gets chosen
Thatβs what the Saratoga delegate told me
Oh I couldnt even recite the pledge when the interviewer asked me toπ
yeah he didnt touch grass though
ohhhh say can you see
by the dawn's early light
LOL
kl ga then u have INDONESIAAAAA TANAH AIR KU
I have them on snap but i forgot their names tbh
Yeah lets mot mention their names lol
π«‘ π
what highschools are considered competitive on the peninsula though
Menlo
like not southbay and not sf
does menlo recruit athletes
HUH
they're a private school
School culture seems chill tho
they prob have a sat prep course or some shit
Lots of cute blondes
crystal seems so relaxed though
heard they have huge grade inflation
Hillsborough kids be like that
what would you say ur school is like attractiveness-wise on a scale from 1-10
7-8
down bad
Damn
Lots of athletes
he brought up the blondes
And rich girls
6-7 tbh. i moved districts between middle and high school and the difference was astounding
hm
everyone here is really attractive
my school is a solid 5
there are kids who model but i don't find them attractive in the slightest π
model?!
Bruh same
not like professionally
do u guys think a good music supplemental would help with decisions
like for small businesses
depends on the uni
ππ
Ik 2 girls from our rival school who model legit but theyβre like mid looking
BRUH
cornell
I mean they get paid for it
so idk
bruh i just realized that i wasted so much space on my columbia diversity supp
Eh
Whatever
tbf they just look at how skinny you are and your bone structure right
and height
faces can be photoshopped
Some people look for short people tho
Thatβs true. Lot of the cuter girls at my school arenβt modelking
marketing has changed
btw what's wrong with a2c moderators π
but for general clothing yeah that's true
ngl rejecting my public feeder was an L move in terms of being around attractive people
but it's aight
carly is always travelling
ye
they seem to be on something
reddit karma is a hell of a drug
Tbf a lot of them have their main customer base from the subreddit
Like McNeil or AdmissionsMom etc
capitalism go brr
McNeil charges 19k for his most expensive package lol
lol
AdmissionsMom sometimes help for free tho
admissionsmom is helpful
I don't think she reads carefully π
Oh WilliamtheReader too, if heβs still alive
do people spend that much π
Oh and that Mattie guy charges similar prices
I assume so because their prices keep going up
oh wait i have stories
shit that's a lot of money
i sat w a group of people i dont normally sit with about a month ago
think prestige seeking asian kids
some of them have had consultants since freshman year and one of them confessed that their parents have been paying 2k per consulting session
Bruh thatβs just fucked
π
this is why i dont sit with them
Going to a private school helps way more than that if yall seen my scattergram for cornell
it was so draining to hear them talk about admissions
yeah idk why they dont just put their kids into private or feeder
Yeah thatβs why those nerds got nobody else
Ffs you dont even need Harker just drop them off at St Francis or some shit
and they were attacking each other??? like sitting RIGHT by each other and insulting their ecs or essays π
question y'all
Gl yβall
Buzzwords and marketijg
but it doesn't work for the context
introducing people to a culture vs discovering it
uhh
LOL yeah ig but idk how else to phrase it
Immersing
not really
oh thats good
immersion seminars?
why do you need seminars
Those are a thing at my school
LOL
ππ
it's an event where people can get to learn about X culture
hence seminar
We have summer immersion programs in like a dozen countries and states
horang kaya mah bebas πΏ
Lmao yeah theyβre expensive as fuckntoo
Like 3k a month
And theyβre a glorified service trip pretty much
Damn
does that include room and board??
Yeah
what could I say instead of seminar???
cause i can explain it i have the word count
but seminar feels like the best word for it
A month or a summer or a week idk honestly I didnt bother when I saw the price
Would program be sufficient?
Discovery program, immersion program, idk
yeah ^
for language tho
Not for culture in general
naviance goofy af
not a match
Exchange programs? I know some have 3 strikes rules for using english
And culture and language tend to go hand in hand if youβre being immersed in them
It's not an exchange program
the full clause is Primarily, this would be through hosting story-telling opportunities and discovery seminars
LMAO obviously
no this is for my essay lmao
Immersion is my opinion
immersion seminars?
gl
good luck!!

Yβall are about 28.5% of this

i wonder how theyre going to change the logo on the 15th-
If one of the mods gets around to it it may be animated otherwise Iβm going to choose the least annoying school that also has a mascot I can feasibly work with and make an icon out of them
If school colors werenβt so similar I would have an idea for a banner
But I still couldnβt do every school
And even then it still relies of mascots
Which not all of yβall have
142???
!columbia

i've already come to terms with my cornell ED rejection
!cornell
thanks for the spot buddy

guys did you know that the more times you do !cornell the higher your chances of acceptances
!washu

this is just an anxiety pill at this point
absolutely π€
anyone applying for ILR ED?
!cornell
!cornell
hi
!cornell
!cornell
the next highest thread activity π u guys got no chill
love that ithaca hype for yall
why is everyone applying to Cornell tho
Same ques
uchicago >>>
I have a feeling the acceptance rate this year is going to be crazy low with all these applicants
it's going to be the same
so if you got the the fin aid verification in the last week or so that means most likely u got in, right?
username checskout
||Yes that has been the case in previous years||
π
!cornell
!cornell
!cornell
!cornell
really unsure about that, but please keep up till the 16th!
I don't know for sure but if they do really process fin aid and admission apps separately then sure you do have a chance
what exactly is this finaid verification we're talking about here
!cornell
Why did they remove the withdraw button lol, what if I wanted to withdraw π
!cornell
!yale
!upenn
!cornell
what about 2 weeks ago
wait waht does a fin aid verification even look like?
oh my lord... 10k already?!??
also no finaid so rejection confirmed ig π₯²
wym
didnt receive the email everyone was talking about
idk what this "fin aid verification" is
an IDOC iirc
Has anyone applied for science and technology studies ?
!cornell
ik someone that is!
sheβs doing business, i think?
what does the financial aid verification look like?
!cornell
Bc only the Cornell one is used every 10 mins
!cornell
is it just me or is time going much much slower these days
Felt
Feels like a min is an hour
get it up to 0.5 times an hour!!!
!cornell
Valid
!cornell
!cornell
!cornell
yeah, it disappeared for me too
!cornell
!cornell
idoc shit
Hopefully thats not the case. But I dont think everyone who received the fin aid verification request is going to get in
I got an email on the 21st saying that i was missing some stuff for fin aid
is that the verification or no
yeah
but I called up the FA office today
and they said the reasn I didnt receive verification was cuz they have everything they need
!cornell
