thank you šŸ™

unreal compass
#

the pool is so competitive this year that iā€™m fully expecting a rejection considering my area and niche but I still have a bit of hope

#

hopefully they donā€™t care as much about the ā€œpersonality of my act scoreā€ lol. I feel my essays were well written and from what Iā€™ve been shown, my LORs were stellar, my interview was pretty good as well. I donā€™t check the legacy or rich kid box so Im less hopeful for an acceptance

#

but I am in pretty heavily disadvantaged area both geographically and socioeconomically from a school whoā€™s never had a harvard admit and publicly states in their school report that their average sat score is an 800.

#

the fact that Iā€™m even applying to harvard is monumental and i hope they consider that

celest chasm

#

They will, icyy. Good luck.

#

When does Harvard decision come out?

unreal compass
#

tomorrow at 7pm est

agh

#

<24 hours

unreal compass
#

iā€™m not fg though because my mom went to community college and my dad went to cc and transferred to a 4 year

#

my mom immigrated from a third world country and I still have strong cultural roots

celest chasm
unreal compass
#

i hope so. even then i still somehow managed to get 300+ hrs of research in my field and an internship with the state crafting educational policy, and the field i want to go into is very niche so i hope that also boosts me a bit

#

all i can do rn is hope for the best

celest chasm
unreal compass
#

yeah :ā€™) went to a heavily subsidized ā€œprestigiousā€ summer program and found the virtual internship in an ad on my school page so i kind of lucked out. hoping for the best but expecting the worst

all I hear is flex flex flex

#

we will all do great

#

salute šŸ‘

unreal compass
#

i wish i was as talented as half of yā€™all, you guys are academic beasts

latent lark
#

not true

unreal compass
latent lark
#

The worst case scenario imo is a deferral

#

itā€™s worse than a rejection for me

#

because they leave you hanging alongside the other 7k deferrals

#

false sense of hope

unreal compass
#

definitely not ideal

#

tbh deferral is worse than a rejection in some cases

shrewd hollow
#

@unreal compass u take IB as well?

unreal compass
shrewd hollow

shrewd hollow
sleek nebula

im trying to get published

unreal compass
sleek nebula

dont think it will happen

#

damn

unreal compass
#

it should be more like 500, since it was 39 days and we were working day and night

sleek nebula
#

yeah i think have around 500 as well

unreal compass
#

but i didnā€™t want to embellish too hard so i gave a static number

#

500 in astrophysics? that actually is insane

#

especially if itā€™s outside of a program

sleek nebula
#

well i think closer to 700

unreal compass
#

unreal compass
sleek nebula

shrewd hollow
#

yeah

unreal compass
#

but yā€™know if you have a patternā€¦

sleek nebula
#

yeah

latent lark
#

well, a niche field has smaller departments

unreal compass

j realized

unkempt sentinel
#

1 is recruited athlete

#

I went to states in my sport and was a 3

unreal compass
#

sheesh

#

atp sports seem like a waste of time

#

if you canā€™t get to national/recruited

sleek dirge
#

I am pretty confident about my sport rating to be 1 as well

unreal compass
clever surge
#

Ima get a 6 in sports

unreal compass
#

4 is neutral

clever surge
unreal compass
#

and it doesnā€™t factor into your score if itā€™s neutral afaik

sleek venture
#

i have a 4 i know that

#

only did bball

unreal compass
#

i did not do sports :p

#

i had really big scheduling conflicts after school

sleek dirge
#

I am not recruited, but I have 8 records, 8 national titles, international medals and awards, top 4 in the top 10 athletes of the year of Bulgaria from the Federation

unreal compass
#

and my sophomore year and half my freshman were online

sleek dirge
#

Idk I may get a 2

unreal compass
sleek dirge
#

But I don't think I will get lower

unreal compass
#

1 is solely for recruited

sleek dirge
#

2+ works for me perfectly

#

I was a bit worried about academics because here we don't have ap classes or stuff like that

unreal compass
#

they factor that all in, dw!

#

your rigor is based on what was available to you

sleek dirge
#

As far as I know one of my recommendatiors explained a little more on my school and how we study, so I think it will be okay

unkempt sentinel
#

if you do no sports you get a 4

#

5 and 6 are special conditions

#

I play sport for Team GB. when I Emailed coach she said they had already finished recruits for my year šŸ˜­

#

Hoping to be a walk on still

#

If I get 2+ I domt think Iā€™d be too mad lol

sleek dirge
#

2+ is great

#

If everything else on our application is around the 2ish as well

hollow jasper
#

Iā€™m like 99% certain everything will be 2 besides personality which u never know lol

#

But I didnā€™t write a sob story or flex my achievements in a narcissistic way so no obv red flags haha

dull shadow
#

same

#

how do u get a 1 for academics

#

international awards n stuff right

hollow jasper
#

Thing is I rlly donā€™t want to have to keep writing supplements for other schools because Iā€™ve done so much research into Harvard and rlly think Iā€™d make the most of my time there. Itā€™ll be super depressing if I get deferred because it means now Iā€™ll have to do more work, just because idk id Harvard would accept me rd

hollow jasper
dull shadow
#

did u get an interview?

hollow jasper
#

Iā€™m not even bothering with acadmeic 1 because I do no academic research

#

Yeah

dull shadow
#

r u in the UK or smth

hollow jasper
#

Maybe

dull shadow
#

lucky

hollow jasper
#

Why šŸ˜‚

dull shadow
#

iā€™m in SEA so interviews r rare as hell

hollow jasper
#

Ah

#

Yeah but getting an interview here means nothing apparently

dull shadow
#

yeah in the US and UK it doesnā€™t

hollow jasper
#

Because there are so many alumni in Uk

dull shadow
#

itā€™s just alumni availability

hollow jasper
#

But Iā€™m happy to get one regardless cos it went rlly well

#

So at least sheā€™ll write something that somewhat helps me out

sleek dirge
#

One thing I regret not mentioning is my thesis/diploma work on human brain, concentration, cognitive aspects and such I did

hollow jasper
dull shadow
#

oh shi i did the same for my thesis

sleek dirge
#

I think it was going to be good if I added it somewhere but I was so stressed about the whole application

sleek dirge
dull shadow
#

i linked cognitive psychology and specifically neural correlates with how societies remember and forget history šŸ˜­

sleek dirge
#

I had to do a whole research and tests on young adults

#

Idk about the personality rating they'll give me, because I never received an interview:)

dull shadow
#

same here

hollow jasper
#

Yaā€™ll rlly going pound for pound lmao

unreal compass
#

lyric cradle
#

yeah tbf we are both domestic students applying from an international schl

olive warren
#

is negated by being a US citizen

lyric cradle
#

yeah

olive warren
#

#

and receive like

#

government aid

lyric cradle
#

true

#

im asian americsn lmao

#

so odds ain't looking good

unreal compass

olive warren
#

and the AOs looked at it

#

on like quite a few separate occasions

#

do you guys think that's goiod lol?

lyric cradle
olive warren
#

feels like I passed through a few checks or whatever

unreal compass

even tho im some asian american

olive warren

lyric cradle

olive warren

#

all 6 seniors in this chat

#

oh nvm that's active ppl

#

well all however many of us we will all see each other in harvard

olive warren
#

I feel like

#

I would take a rejection pretty well

#

but idk

#

maybe Ill actually break down sobbing

#

Who knows

lyric cradle
#

i think i wojld take it well

#

but i don't think people around me would

olive warren
#

idk my parents dont actually

#

care that much

olive warren
lyric cradle
#

my parents care so much

olive warren
#

Like my mom wants me to go to a good college but she doesnt see anything special about harvard in particular

lyric cradle
#

fair enough

#

no my parents have been going round telling everyone i'm a harvard applicant

olive warren
#

Lmao

#

my mom is the opposite

#

she tells me to tell no one

#

so that if I dont get in its not as embarrassing or w/e

lyric cradle
#

i wanted to tell no one

#

but yh now if i get rejected

#

this is gonna be a hit sad for me to tell the hundred people she's told

olive warren
#

most of my friends are from malta anyways and dont understand american college application process and culture

#

Like in Malta its pretty stress free there is only 1 uni and its not exactly hard to get in

lyric cradle
#

oh lmao fsir enough

#

the y will be rlly proud of h tho

olive warren
#

tbh

#

i dont think most of them really know what it means

#

not that I can blame them

#

idk

lyric cradle
#

surely they know it's no mean feat

olive warren
#

it makes me a little sad I dont have too many people to celebrate with

lyric cradle
#

like getting into harvard is like super hard

olive warren
#

whenever something goes well academically for me

lyric cradle
#

u can celebrate with us lads

olive warren
#

Like bro

#

I thought I bombed the SAT so badly

#

but I got a pretty decent score

#

and idk I had no one to really tell who understood

#

Lmao

lyric cradle
#

how about all the ppl in mercia

#

merica

olive warren
#

I go to online school in US cus its more convenient

#

Like

lyric cradle
#

ohhh right

olive warren
#

I had medical stuff recently (was in wheelchair for months)

#

etc

lyric cradle
#

oh i'm so sorry

olive warren
#

so honestly got few american friends

olive warren
lyric cradle
#

but yeah makes sense that online schl is convenient

#

well trust me i'm sure everyone will be so happy for u tho

#

even if they don't truly get it

olive warren
#

Yeah

#

I mean I cant blame them and i appreciate that they care some even if they dont really get it

lyric cradle
#

yeah ofc ofc

#

it's weird for me a bit too

#

none of my friends have applied to schools in america

olive warren
#

yeah

#

how is UK college application culture really

#

I assume closer to US than the maltese one

#

cus like

#

there are actually competitive schools

lyric cradle
#

UK one is very academic heavy

olive warren
#

like tbh in Malta there is no reason to be academically high achieving in HS (or junior college here)

lyric cradle
#

not really about u as a person

#

it's all about ur subject and major and nothing else

olive warren
#

cus like in reality ur just gonna go to university of malta

#

and what u do there matters

lyric cradle
#

it's also rlly direct competition between peoole in the same schl

lyric cradle
olive warren
#

like

#

its very relaxed here

lyric cradle
#

that's good but different ig

olive warren
#

My friend placed like 3rd in the national math olympiad

#

for example

#

and hes relatively high achieving

lyric cradle
#

oh nice

olive warren
#

but he cant be bothered to like

#

apply to UK schools or anything

#

anyways

#

Lmao

lyric cradle
#

oh right

#

everyone is obsessed with oxbridge at my schl

#

its like an addiction

olive warren
#

bro

#

the people at my online HS

#

if you asked them what like

#

idk

#

cornell was

#

I dont know if anyone would know

#

Lmfao

lyric cradle
#

broooo yeah tbf

#

no one at my school knows any Us schools

olive warren
#

yeah but my school is a US school LMAO

lyric cradle
#

bar hypsm

olive warren
#

100% no one here knows any british schools

lyric cradle
olive warren
#

other than maybe oxbridge

#

like idk is imperial college the 3rd best school in UK?

#

100% no one knows that shit here

lyric cradle
#

yeah

#

imperial is so good

lyric cradle
#

tbf tho ivy league is more well known than good UK schls

olive warren
#

yeah well they dont even know cornell as I said

#

they prob know like

#

harvard yale princeton stanford

#

idk maybe MIT

lyric cradle
olive warren
#

Idk tbh nothing wrong with not wanting to go to like the ivy league

#

but its definitely like

#

a large cultural gap

#

between me and them

lyric cradle
#

yeah igy

olive warren
#

also, did you take ACT (ik you're TO I think you said)?

lyric cradle
#

i did not

olive warren
#

just curious cus I thought intl was almost always sat

#

#

idk how I got that idea into my head

lyric cradle
#

i was revising for it but my mum cancelled it

olive warren
#

Lmao

lyric cradle
#

olive warren
#

Bruh

lyric cradle
#

she rlly wanted to go to itsly

olive warren
#

I'm sorry

lyric cradle
#

yeah bit weird but it's okay

olive warren
#

I think ACT is like the better test though

lyric cradle
#

probably

olive warren
#

The fact that there are 4 subsections instead of 2

#

means u can superscore more easily

lyric cradle
#

i did a diagnostic

#

and they told me to do ACT

olive warren
#

Personally for me the ACT obliterated me

#

and I did well on the SAT

#

but still on average

lyric cradle
#

i didn't like ACT maths

unreal compass
#

i like the act better

olive warren
#

I think ACT should be better

lyric cradle
#

yh

#

when revising i found it all quite ez

unreal compass
lyric cradle
#

bar some maths cos we haven't done it at schl

#

but tbf i'm not good at maths anyways so maybe that's it
