fair enough
tbh my mum is like that
we don't get along either but she's very all up in my business
lmao
she will get anxious
about anything
like
she thinks I got auto rejected
cus I didnt get an interview
from H
Like bro
idk
lmao interviews don't matter don't they
I refuse to believe my app is so bad that I got auto rejected LMAO
idk
even if it was
like
It would prob be off of an academic check
Id assume
?
And I have 4.0/1590
so like
yeah probably
what the fuck kind of academic check
am I failing
I would love to know
she just crazy
Lmao
Idk
It was better than any of my pracs
and I got it in 1 try with $0 spent on like
its insane man
ur gonna get in
I hope
i'm a gal but bro works
im judt so nervous
it's the waiting game that's annoying as f
yeah idk what to say about the nerves
yh
I think im taking it pretty well cus im like
at this point I cant do anything anyways
im just scared it's bad that i went test optional
well
it doesnt help but its only one small thing Im sure the rest of ur app can cover for it
Most of the time Im like pretty confident but then every now and then
I really think about it
and I get a pit in my stomach for a minute or so
LMAO
LMAOOO
i judt think of the sheer number of applicants
and the fact i'm asian
and then get very very sad
but it's okay cos i have faith
idk if we're even allowed to talk abt it
it's rlly the juxtaposition that kills me man
but the asian discrimination thing is p disgusting
like kick me if u want but yeah
Lol
yeah
lmao it's sad but
it's not like confirmed ig
they won the lawsuit didnt ehy
they
oh lmao
i addressed it in my interview yk
i full on asked the interviewer for their opinion on it
also
she was like taken back but she said i'm bold for asking
the fact that we cant talk abt it on the subreddit cowardly af to me as well
that's kinda bad
my mom thinks i’m going to be rejected and we had the “don’t be sad” talk last night
but i digress
Lmaooooo
my mum just gave me the "dont think about it"
💀

my parents just say at least you've applied to yale
my mom thinks
im worried about getting rejected
and she's like "it's ok if you get rejected there are other schools"
when Im like
im just worried to be worried bro
same
lmao i get thid a lot
idk
I just have this
irrational fear
that I wont get like
respect
if I dont go to an ivy or something
and that ill be l;ike
a downgrade
from my parents
Blegh
yeah i totally get ylu
but u have to believe
i'm always sacred im gonna be a disappointment
trust me, going to an ivy will not define the rest of your life nor your achievements
successful people succeed anywhere
Yeah
I eman
Im well aware
like ik my fear is irrational
i know that I respect people who dont go to ivies
but like
it's just my parents pressure on me tbh
think about what you’ve said and then think about all of the people you respect in your life
so it's humiliating for me if i dont get in
many of my idols in the stem field did not go to an ivy
nobody at my school knows
and still became groundbreakers in their field
except for my teachers who wrote me rec letters
it's also fear of failure for me lma
a lot
you think they matter a lot?
and stuff
i thought they wouldn’t
i think they matter a lot
so the counselor and the teachers got together
to make sure mine were like
really good
my school told me it matters cos you don't get to see it or anything
my ib english teacher was really sweet and called me the best in his tenure and said i was going to be a revolutionary in my field
basically talked about me like i walk on water
idk my math lor but i know it isn’t bad
my math LOR was really good
something like this
we aren't allowed to lmao
well
and then i got my third from the director of the higher education office at my state’s department of education, and they said i would be a good team member anywhere I went
I signed the agreement that I cant demand to read them
and that my communication and work ethic are supreme
at our school it's against policy
I see
yup
my math teacher didn’t feel comfortable so i didn’t pressure him
but my english teacher sent it to me and so did my mentor/employer
I got my 3rd rec from this teacher at my school who is the coach on the varsity chess team (yeah idk) which Im captain of
I think it was probably good but I hadnt talked to him like a super large amount by then
that’s pretty good tbh
i just made sure i had my 2 from school and my research rec
that teacher is a chad though like
and then uploaded my generic completion letter for ssp
he helped some kid with their genshin quest
he cant possibly be saying sth bad about me
LMAO
!harvard

ok wont mind it to much
a certain individual at my school
hahahaha
Literally
we are a bunch of lonely harvard applicants
Any of yall ib students?
i take 1 Ib subject
we shall seee
wait r u a man?
am i?
Nice, im taking the full diploma
don't u just go to roles
rip u
man and guy are sort of gender neutral right
I’m liking it
u got it
Which subject u take?
ah there we go
who knows
Span?
:D
Oh
cmonnnn

My hls are comp sci, econ, english langlit
oh nice combo
6.5/7 average
yes
sorry to any AP english enjoyers
Lmaoooo
but its so bad
what do u even do
Full diploma?
yes
write 6000 essays
Yea but wish i take maths and physics
jesus christ
Hls?
HL maths is lethal
Yea
:(
that's what i've heard
:(((((
Eng langlit A, history, visual arts
No bro
Nice, grades?
It's the worst
lmaooooo
whats bad about it man
I'm actually dropping it next semester
heated discussion
Like there is nothing that can stop me
HAHAHAHA
uhh im domestic so we do gpa, i have a 4.0 uw 4.71 w and i’m predicted mainly 6/7s from the papers we’ve done?
but its not official
does anyone like philsophy? irs something we can agree on?
ap lang is the best class i've ever taken it's improved my writing skills by ten fold it's amazing
4.73 W
i lied
lmfao
what is philsophy
4.71
How does that work if u have ib subjects
what really is the true meaning of life?
i can’t think
shut up
Wouldnt ur gpa be out of 7
im at an american school
my harvard acceptance letter
our marks get converted to gpa
american gpa thingy sounds so weird
what is "shut up" in the grand scheme of things because undoubtly we're lost voices within the universe
and im taking a mix of different curriculums
where u from
I’m swedish but at boarding school in switzerland
oh no what did i start
is that all A+ A
idk
rn I’m taking AP full IBDP and dual enrollment
Yeah
You can’t really compare Ib courses with normal ones
7 is an A+
More than A+
idk man at our schooo they say 7 is an A+
here 7 is an A+ 6 is A 5 is B 4 is C
Way harder to get straight 7s than straights A+s
i mean when did life really.. begin? considering the universe as we know it is a couple billion years old, who's to say that there wasn't a universe before, begun before the infinities of time
or perhaps maybe we're the first
My school doesnt do A+ or A-
literslly everyone at my school has straight 7 predicts
so Im allowed to scrape by with 91%
Grade inflation?
Lol
but then how do we know when life begin, perhaps in a different part of the universe
perhaps everything is an illljdion
BAHHAHAH jkjk
@sleek venture i wojld do this but it's like 10pm and i'm jet lagged
Less than 1% of ib students worldwide get straight 7s
Did you just
no we are just good at IB
i'm dead too no worries
fly into korea from UK?
well yesterday
I see
yh
im planning to visit korea this feburary
Im fucked up from going Oklahoma->Malta as well lol
I keep sleeping like 4-5 hours only
Oh you’re intl.. where?
i'm pretty sure like 50% of my Ib cohort last year got 45 or smth
UK
oh god
gl
how long is the flight
damn rlly
i'm in merica during that time rip
shucks
😭😭😭😭
so that was dreadful
3 legs???
but the time zone difference is only 7 hours
WWWWHAAT
mine is 9hrs
it's fine cos only like 20'ppl at my school do Ib
guess the highest score our school has ever gotten
damn did you do a normal person and then an amputee???
45
we have 20 ppl doing ib
28 😭😭😭😭😭
at least 1

Brooooooo
damn...
Bro
wait isn't ur predicted score 45 calypso
idk we are like rlly good at IB
Thats insane
gg
i dont do IB tho man
No. We don’t do predicteds here
AP ftw
i do a levels
Our average is like 35
icic
I’m just guessing based on mock papers
broooo no way
it's weird at our school for someone to get below 42
World average is like 30 man
idk our school's average
they absolutely do
Ib friends are crying
also why does a2c have yale as its background
Same#
The stress is kind of fun tho
degen behavior
it's a drug
.
LMAO FR
im not wrong LMAO
ur defo not
Bro
i've heard stories
Bro
I hate the stress
Im not that stressed
but what stress I do have I hate
Keeps you busy
u can keep busy in finner ways
Never bored or doing nothing
funner*
this is fax icl
Caffeine saves the day
Any international student got a Harvard interview here?
Nooe
nope
yes
my mom is convinced i got auto rejected
because of the fact that I got no interview
im domestic though
Havent heard many intl get interview
You're an international? Which country pls
ah UK yes ofc
Ohhk cool
where r u from
i loved my interviewer
Neither me or 2 classmates got an interview, were in switzerland
she gave me her number afterwards lmao
we talked for ages :D
good talk
she gave me her number instantly
we be flexing on each other
:D mutual flexes
she just fell in love w u
Asia
THE RIZZ CONTINUES
also in response to ur status:
the 21st night of september?
:DD
its good
HUH
i sent mine a thank you letter
tyry
and he never contacted me back
LMAO

LMAO i just texted her
"thank u" etc etc
he told me to email him with anything else i wanted admissions to know about me
and he’d put it in
i just left them alone shes a full time medic
she's sad now you ghosted her man
exsctly
if u go to HU u will get rizz
i will
which could either be Harvard university or hustlers uni
i dont recommend one of them
HAHAHAHA
:D
bro what time is it over there
same time as u no?
idk if i can sleep the night tbh
yes thats how maps work
is everyone gonna be here at 7pm ET
or are we all keeping to ourselvs
same
I’ve arranged myself to mourn for a day them back to RD it is
i mean stastically we all have 80% chance of being defferred
fr bro i feel that
that’s true
most likely option tbh
icl flat out rejection might be better for my mental health
then having to wait another 4 months only to be turned down again
see I want to have reassurance but then again I don’t wanna really be rejected
Also bc no rizz if I get rejected
YES
yeah main reason i wanna get in is to gain that rizz
This is actually so scary
this is one of those moments where I get a [pit in my stomach
that I mentioned earlier
whatever we're getting in
LMAO
ive told all my friends that id tell them if i get accepted
but if im rejected and self-pitying they should leave me
Why is it so scary
its just fear man
I am kind of late to the talk lol but I took my SAT on December 3rd
I still don't know my results
damn SAT comes out late
I don't think they are that good tho soo
believe in urselfff
Bro
I got 100 points higher than I told my friends
that I thought I did
LMAO
Not even kidding
HAHAHAHA
Praying then
yessir
Because I didn't go test operational
test operational frrr
i went into the sat without studyign thinking oh this would be a good practice
My gpa is 5.95/6
operational yes
and i did... wow idk
wow idk
o.o
operation test optional w
surprisingly good
im the only one at my school applying rea
so the school will have a 100% harvard rea acceptance rate for 2022 or 0%
here's the breakdown https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/cfwru7/interesting_statistics_and_info_regarding_harvard/ (though the guidelines for ratings are like... famously too lenient)
:D
yahahahah
icl ive never heard of them before
the rating things
lmao im not getting good scores cos i didnt do my sat
i have nearly all 2s except athelet and personal rating i think
idkd how well that bodes for me
idk
the country I used to live in
has a national math olympiad
its for HS freshman right
but I took it a year early in my last year of MS
I got 1st place and only perfect score ever
so idk if they will consider it
Ive been worrying about that
BROOOO thats crazy
I feel like if they consider it Im in p good shape
wtf is personal rating
like m reading it now
how they gonna rate me personally
Ive been wondering
i think ill get mostly 2s
if they are generous and they consider it
like it was a HS competition
possibly I can get 1- on academics??????????????
have any of u guys heard of the harvard book prize?
you defo could
don't be too confident 
ive done nothing that good ive only one like 1 good prize thingy
fair
im intl after all so im kinda screwed anyways
my ecs are lacking hard asf outside of that too
def my weak spot
:Dread
I took some really hard classes like biochemistry, law regulations, biomechanics and have a 100, but they are all listed as regular so maybe that will be off idk
ok
i love my ecs
I forgot that I cant use emotes from outside of the server
no one answered me
don't be overconfident eother 
harvard book prize???
sorry what's your question?
A MAN CAN DREAM
has anyone heard of the harvard book prize
sure yeah
idk man
idk about my academics now cos of my ACT scores
At least I can't remember
cos i got it but like idk what it means cos my school just gave it to me with little explanation
you can think of it as a school-level award
ACT was 37 :))
totally
yes yes ofc
I know for a school like Boston Latin they may accept 7+ in a single year of 200 class size.
Bc Harvard pays $0 in taxes so that's their contributions to the town lol
I only know one person from Harvard from Bulgaria
And our previous Prime Minister
I don't think Bulgaria has that many alumni
But we have a research center of however it was called
1000% 1 for ecs 😎😎😎😎 (real)
hahahaha i wish
i don’t think i’ll get a 1 anywhere except for a slight possibility with ecs
ngl academics probably a 3 because of my act
i think my highest possibilty of 1 is deefo ec
same
id like to thin kpesronal too\
person 1 is insanely rare
to be fair
1 is rare
and you def dont need it
like 50 people total a year
to get in
get a 1 in personal
oh nvm
it’s in the hundreds for ec
icl this is the first time ive heard of this
my friend at school chanced me 💀
i cant lie

bruh i dont think thats true
ngl the whole chance thing is kinda useless imo
this rating thing is givnig me some more confidence tho icl
i did it earlier but it was only for my confidence
like noone is an AO so noone acc knows
what they look for
so there's no point speculating :/
they’re notoriously lenient to cater to different backgrounds
yeah true
yeah very true tho
holistic :)
yeah ik
what if i have a wack personal background but am asian
im legacy so
oh niceeeeee
ok mf
ok bro idk if ur joking but ur in
daddy donating a building boutta get you a 1 in personal 
FR BAAHHAHAHA
they personally hope you will donate one too ;)
"unique special attributes"

fr fr :)
oh HAHAHAHA
ngl i’m having fun here
Where do recommendations go tho
im glad harvard rea pool is shaping up
'would bring so much to the harvard community (aka new building on the horizon)
personal
Like I read they are really important
LAMOOOO
they aren’t
OH AMEN
they’re considered
i thought they were kinda
agreed ngl
I studied Russian at school for some years and I marked it right
And when I downloaded the pdf of my application
It was written that I can speak, write and understand Russian
Or something like this
LIKE NO I CAN'T
whoop
that’s why i didn’t put that for french tbh
because they have the potential to test you on it
i put it for french
i know basic chinese enough to live in taiwan at least
but i can read and write pretty well tbf
EXACTLY
if it’s not your main language and you’re not at a point where you’re past conversational i wouldn’t put it
OOPS
And I started studying Russian again
I thought it was just like academic background or smth
yeah i put french and spanish that im good at
same here but at the same time i really don’t want to go through deep shit for not doing insane at it
i wouldnt say im fluent but i could defo pass
I can pass writing and understanding
are they really gonna put u through deep shit
bro i dont wanna be in deep shit
but like i would say my spanish is pretty good idk
like your interviewer by chance speaks fluent french
and you have no clue what they’re saying
they dont
i got so lucky bro my interviewer was fluent in quebecois
my interviewer spoke fluent chinese
quebecois is a satisfying word
thats good
i barely brought up chinese only went ordering at starbucks BAHHAHA
i can barely understand quebecois 😭😭😭
I wanted to write my personal statement on the word goggles
idk what it is about it
Since it's my favorite word
but saying it just feels good
goggles…
thats so funnt
it just rolls so well
goggles is nice
