Princeton REA (2022-2023)

[tawdry zodiac]

my teachers never do that stuff omg

[hidden wharf]

I thought it was cool because it gave people recognition for doing well without putting other people down

But ig parents hate to see their kids losing :/

[serene oxide]

my multi teacher does this too 😭

[distant hinge]

my calc teacher denied me my extra time and infront of the whole class said that other kids with extra time don’t need it so neither should i math teachers are so toxic bro 😭

[summer steppe]

well there are also the kids who dont get 100s who might be incredibly salty abt it

[zenith quarry]

yeah, initially it was that way, but after a while every kid who did well would get targeted

[serene oxide]

FR

[distant hinge]

it’s like they love the negative energy

[hidden wharf]

I was one of the oeople that never got it but i did a couple times and it was pretty empowering

[hidden wharf]

That's crazy 😭

People hate to see others winning wtf

[summer steppe]

yea

[zenith quarry]

bay area core 😋

[summer steppe]

the shit talk/drama at my school among the "competitive kids" is crazy

and we're not even a competitive school lol

[serene oxide]

the day after dec 15 is going to be so toxic bc of this

[summer steppe]

[zenith quarry]

[hidden wharf]

LOL fr 😭

she only told me once we started dating

[serene oxide]

rivals to lovers arc ig 😭

[zenith quarry]

real

[serene oxide]

facts

[tawdry zodiac]

ill be the first princeton kid ever to get bitches if they admit me

[unkempt widget]

I had a reunion with my 9th grade english teacher. She told me: If somewhere doesn't accept you, they don't see you. That's on them. But if someone sees your potential, they'll give you a chance.

[distant hinge]

you’re still bitchless

[tawdry zodiac]

this is true

[hidden wharf]

[hidden wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-fast-gif-20846652

[serene oxide]

😀

[unkempt widget]

[unkempt widget]

LOL

[zenith quarry]

[unkempt widget]

LOL

[hidden wharf]

[hidden wharf]

AOs i am responsible i promise it was a joke

[fluid meadow]

[serene oxide]

[fluid meadow]

honestly they dont look for tryhards anyways

[zenith quarry]

did anyone else get the q1 grade request'

[hidden wharf]

this feels like a slur tbh LMAO

[serene oxide]

i dont even know whats considered a good ec anymore tbh 😭

[fluid meadow]

tryhards do not make up ivy leagues

[tawdry zodiac]

should be

[distant hinge]

i just hope i get into my ed

[serene imp]

keep telling urself that, back in my day i was on it

[serene oxide]

idk but it's a good sign if u do get it

[tawdry zodiac]

back in ur day you are literally 4 years old dawg

[fluid meadow]

where did you ed

[distant hinge]

dartmouth dream school since i was a kid

[serene imp]

its an allegorical metephorical similie type rhetorical device

[fluid meadow]

gl

[zenith quarry]

i looked and saw like 2-3 students who still got deferred with req

[distant hinge]

💏

[summer steppe]

ngl the average person at a top college is the typical school club president, some volunteering here and there, good GPA/test scores... vast vast majority of kids wont be there with olympic medals or a c-level positionat a fortune 500 company

[hidden wharf]

so youre just here to watch the chaos unfold 💀

[distant hinge]

well yeah….

[fluid meadow]

[unkempt widget]

i think they look for people with good stories and passion

[serene imp]

i jus do my thing

[hidden wharf]

real

[fluid meadow]

character is key

so yeah

[unkempt widget]

yaaaa

[distant hinge]

you are making me feel as if i have a good chance but i literally don’t

[summer steppe]

which is also subjective sadly

all one can do is hope

[tawdry zodiac]

that's so impossible to get from essays though

[serene imp]

bruh why was my message blocked

[zenith quarry]

the power move is to do whatever you want and not fall into the matrix of a2c

[tawdry zodiac]

yeah

[serene oxide]

stilll a good amount of people who get the request get in soo

[tawdry zodiac]

my interview was amazing though

[serene imp]

how do u think things like playground games and the rice (insert) test go national

[distant hinge]

i kinda hate princeton’s essays 🚶

[unkempt widget]

everyone has an equal opportunity :) it's just how you portray yourself that gives the opportunity

[fluid meadow]

thats true

[hidden wharf]

REAL that place is a shithole i only look on wednesdays

[serene imp]

like everyone knows them no matter where u are

[fluid meadow]

its kinda luck ngl

[serene oxide]

omg i loved my interviewer, he went to the same school as i go to rn

[fluid meadow]

ur essay can be interpreted very differently between different people

[rustic sigil]

do not

[serene imp]

mine was dry i wont lie

[fluid meadow]

[tawdry zodiac]

LMAO WAIT WHY IS THE NAME OF THAT TEST BLOCKED

[rustic sigil]

[serene oxide]

[unkempt widget]

[distant hinge]

[unkempt widget]

[serene imp]

it was used as evidence to support my claim

i'm not asking for stats

the rice test is censored

[zenith quarry]

what's your acceptance song and denial song

[unkempt widget]

wut 😭 rice test?

[tawdry zodiac]

4.0/1580/(insert rice score) would be very funny on chanceme

[serene imp]

[distant hinge]

island in the sun and island in the sun

[serene imp]

LOL

[tawdry zodiac]

my denial song is just me crying

[serene oxide]

purity lmfaooo

[distant hinge]

maybe some sea of sorrow

[unkempt widget]

crying/silence

[unkempt widget]

[zenith quarry]

long time playboi carti/long time playboi carti

[summer steppe]

3.98/1560/7 - what are my chances at Harvard?

[fluid meadow]

[unkempt widget]

[serene imp]

minecraft on my mind

[tawdry zodiac]

NO CAP AND GOWN I AINT GO TO CLASS

[serene imp]

SEVEN did u forget a number

[distant hinge]

9999%

[serene oxide]

the ivy leagues need to diversify their classes somehow 🤩

[zenith quarry]

ID RATHER DIE BEFORE I COME IN LAST

[summer steppe]

mb its actually a 0

[tawdry zodiac]

based

[serene oxide]

fax

[serene imp]

sooooo true!

[summer steppe]

back to praying relatively few people did rea to princeton 🙏

[serene oxide]

i know at least 5 other people in my school who did pton rea 💀

[distant hinge]

some dude at my school got into princeton through qb

[serene imp]

i know of none

[fluid meadow]

same

[summer steppe]

princeton accepts a kid every 10 years or some shit

from my school

[serene oxide]

woahh omg

[unkempt widget]

I saw somewhere that they wanted to increase their class size by 400 so it looks like they'll accept 100 more ppl this year due to their new dorm building

:) might be very good news for us

[fluid meadow]

the kid of the decade

[serene oxide]

i live near it so a lot more people apply from my school 😭

[fluid meadow]

the man of the century

[serene oxide]

ooh yes i heard about this!!

[summer steppe]

last year someone got in and hes currently attending there

unfortunately we basically have like half of our extracurriculars as the exact same lmao

hope thats not a disadvantage

[zenith quarry]

nj?

[serene oxide]

yep

[fluid meadow]

believe in statistics (AP). The events are independent, meaning prior outcomes dont influence new outcomes

[unkempt widget]

:D ya! looking good for us! especially for EA! That means 400 kids can be accepted this EA round instead of 350~345!

[serene oxide]

all we can do is hope for the best tbh

[summer steppe]

idk how they build their classes but lets hope xD

[fluid meadow]

idk if thats true or not lmao

[summer steppe]

they usually accept like 700 early i thought

or am i tripping

[unkempt widget]

do they?

[serene oxide]

nopee lol i wont say where tho for obvious reasons

[unkempt widget]

:0 then it would be 850~

[summer steppe]

i could be wrong

[zenith quarry]

yeah you shouldnt my b

[unkempt widget]

OH MAH GAWD.

[distant hinge]

i wonder if aos ever think about how some people might end up as besties

[unkempt widget]

guys. we could have a chance.

[serene oxide]

no worries loll

[summer steppe]

dude ik someone at princeton HS and he says like 50 kids did rea to princeton

[fluid meadow]

around 5000 applicants as well

[serene oxide]

🤞

[fluid meadow]

so 14% acceptance rate

[serene oxide]

14 WTF

that's higher than i thought

[fluid meadow]

nah princeton is legit

[serene oxide]

yea i have friends there and this is def true 😭

[unkempt widget]

16% since the class size is supposed to be bigger this year cuz they want more ppl this year due to the new dorms

[summer steppe]

well you also gotta factor in the recruited athletes and the legacies

[serene oxide]

true true

[fluid meadow]

thats gonna be like only 100 kids

maybe a little more

[distant hinge]

wouldnt recruited athletes stay the same

the team doesn’t get bigger

[fluid meadow]

yes

kinda

[serene oxide]

ik a kids whose parents are both princeton profs so that's wonderful 😀

[fluid meadow]

if they gain more sports teams

[summer steppe]

the rea pool is also self selecting, only particularly driven kids are gonna be doing rea to a school like princeton with 102398190238 essays so accept % is higher from that

[unkempt widget]

ya so looks like 14-16% might be our acceptance rate :D

[distant cape]

If you’re on the east coast rn, go to bed and stop worrying about what’s not in ur control lol

10:40 pm man

[serene oxide]

truee, ik a few people who were originally going to do rea for princceton but decided against it bc of the graded paper

[unkempt widget]

B) ehe it's 7:40 for me

[summer steppe]

yall sleep at 10:40pm?

wtf

[serene oxide]

i sleep at like 12 every night 😭

[distant cape]

Do something else besides fret then, like watch chainsaw man

[pure vine]

watch the world cup 🙂

[unkempt widget]

is it good? so many people have watched it but i never heard a review about it

[summer steppe]

if i worry about princeton i wont have to think about the ap stats final i definitely failed this afternoon

[distant cape]

It’s absurd but good

[unkempt widget]

this is a mood

[distant hinge]

ap stats 💏💏 move that class

love

[unkempt widget]

im thoroughly ready to fail my AP Music Theory final cuz it has listening portions in it-

:D my absolute favorite. can u tell???FUGHWLRGIUH

[distant hinge]

i litterally got one part wrong out of every part in every frq in the ap exam

[fluid meadow]

also remember that qualified kids get rejected from ivies all the time

[distant cape]

I wish we had Ap music theory…. We don’t even have Ap lang

[serene oxide]

exactly

[fluid meadow]

ivy league shit doesnt define ur path

[zenith quarry]

if not princeton where r yall hoping to get in

i really want to go to UCLA tbh

[unkempt widget]

ya and then ppl with like 3.7 gpa get in cuz of their story. so :D guys its not about the numbers! it's about ur passions and stuff too!

[fluid meadow]

UVA instate or GA Tech

im chillin tbh

i hope yall get into good schools

its hard now in days

[distant cape]

UMich, Upitt(already accepted), UMD, Northwestern, Cornell, bunch of other schools

[unkempt widget]

ugh 😭 i wish i could go there but the music program for voice there is soooooo competitive

its sad :C

[zenith quarry]

ca instate is nice bc i can prob get into one decent UC

[distant cape]

I’ve cast a wide net

[serene imp]

not u having uva instate

[fluid meadow]

yeah UCSB is good

[zenith quarry]

this is a W list

[summer steppe]

ye same

i applied to all minus merced/riverside, should be able to snag a few UCs (fingers crossed)

if lucky ucla 😄

[fluid meadow]

yeah kinda lucky

[zenith quarry]

what major if you dont mind me asking

i applied CS 😭

[fluid meadow]

although instate acceptance rate is barely higher than oos

[summer steppe]

ecology/evolution/biodiversity/whatever the different colleges call it

[zenith quarry]

oh cool asf

[fluid meadow]

same

[unkempt widget]

i wonder if my major will make it a little easier to get into princeton ,_, probably not since they don't look at that stuff right?

[serene oxide]

same 🥲

[fluid meadow]

yeah they dont

[serene imp]

so many dmv people

[fluid meadow]

[serene imp]

i think i applied to princeton as comp lit

[summer steppe]

i mean if you did a bunch of CS activities and your intended major is Latin thats gonna look weird

[serene imp]

but i want politics or philosophy probs

[unkempt widget]

ya i figured :c

[zenith quarry]

all my activities combine CS + enviro so i apply both sporadically

[distant hinge]

while they may not admit by nabor when making their class they might like your uniqueness and they feel as if the class is missing that so they’ll be inclined to include you

major

[serene oxide]

no way omg i also did cs and then envisci as a minor for colleges that let me

[distant hinge]

not nabor

[unkempt widget]

nabor ehehehehe

[zenith quarry]

wait thats so dope

[unkempt widget]

hopefully :c

[distant hinge]

that’s what i’m praying dartmouth does with my minor in spanish lit

[serene oxide]

it's the best combo fr

[tawdry zodiac]

the only kid i know who got in last year did classics

[unkempt widget]

yknow that tiktok sound? IM A STARRR PLEASE IM A STARRRRR
yeah that was me last night trying to make the AO's of princeton hear me. LOL

[tawdry zodiac]

idk i wouldnt be surprised if it plays some role

[zenith quarry]

SPITTING i would love to work in envirotech

[unkempt widget]

cuz my essays are very archery and music focused. so it kinda gives away that 😭 i wanna major in music and do archery at princeton

[distant hinge]

all my essays are about cancer and healthcare inequality

[unkempt widget]

ooooo :D thats great!

[distant hinge]

my whole application is ab it my ecs and essays 😭

i themed my application by accident before even knowing ab theming 😭

[summer steppe]

oh crap just realized i started two paragraphs in my why pton essay with "At Princeton,..."

minor but

eww

[unkempt widget]

yaaa themeeee

[distant hinge]

too late to stress it won’t kill you

[unkempt widget]

was kinda fun theming

like a puzzle

how can this essay connect to that one

and etc LOL

[distant hinge]

i wrote all my essays and i was like oh my whole entire application is ab the business of biology

[summer steppe]

i split my essays between music ecology and family

i didnt try theming

just wrote whatever came to mind ngl

[distant hinge]

i feel like that’s best tbh

[zenith quarry]

wtf i didnt write about my ecs at all

like, barely

i wrote about letters, bathrooms and burritos

[unkempt widget]

burritos 😭 yknow wut. someone got in by writing about their pillow so

i think ur good

[tawdry zodiac]

i tried to cover each of my ECs with one essay lmao

[summer steppe]

omg fufu????

[unkempt widget]

LOL YES

FUFU

[tawdry zodiac]

my PS doesn't cover any of them at all really

[unkempt widget]

but yeah theming was probably my favorite of this whole thing

connecting everything together :D

was really fun

[pure vine]

wait guys the blog post is acc so depressing

[summer steppe]

i feel like my essays were hella generic

[pure vine]

...has turned colder

surrendered the last of their leaves

why are they depressing us beforehand lol

[distant hinge]

my ps was about playing a card game with my grandpa

[unkempt widget]

is that a hint????HGWLRHU

[pure vine]

basically the entire thing is abt not being sad when u most likely get rejected lol

[unkempt widget]

guys imagine they sent a different blog post to the ppl who got accepted

[pure vine]

lolololol

[distant hinge]

LMAO

[unkempt widget]

and its like the snow is clean and beautiful

[summer steppe]

theyre getting ready to drop this year's 1% acceptance rate on us

[unkempt widget]

the snow is sparkling like the icicles

[pure vine]

bruh that'd be hilarious

[unkempt widget]

😭

[distant hinge]

they’re about to go down to 0% ar

[serene oxide]

stopp 🥲

[summer steppe]

uh

is it too late to send in an update to princeton

[zenith quarry]

i would save it for loci

[serene oxide]

just a tad 😀

[summer steppe]

yea fair enough

[zenith quarry]

unless you like cured cancer over the weekend idk

[unkempt widget]

ahhh i'd love to sing Les oiseaux dans la charmille at a hall in princeton :c

its my favorite song fheilurgh

best opera song fr

[summer steppe]

just got news like 2s ago that i got an intl award but idk my application is already packed w similar things

prob wouldnt make a difference

[zenith quarry]

wait CONGRATS

[serene oxide]

woahh first of all congrats!!

[unkempt widget]

YAYYY CONGRATS

[distant hinge]

leave it for loci but that’s amazing

[zenith quarry]

^^

[summer steppe]

haha ty guys

its not huge just kinda cool lolol

[serene oxide]

^^yea you'll have a stacked loci if you get deferred

[unkempt widget]

noiceeee

[summer steppe]

does pton take additional letters of rec after you get deferred?

[unkempt widget]

very huge :) it's good to celebrate even the small things

[zenith quarry]

not that ik of

[unkempt widget]

how did u guys ask for your letters of rec btw? like what information did you give?

[serene oxide]

this!! my friends were confused why i was happy about getting into my safety but literally everything is worthy of celebration

[unkempt widget]

yeah :) it brings us happiness and something to look forward to

[summer steppe]

well my calc teacher refuses to take resumes, he writes purely off your performance in his class

i gave my APUSH teacher a resume but she didnt use it. she mainly wrote about me in class and as her TA lol. the stuff on ur resume is alr in ur application anyhow

[distant hinge]

i didn’t rlly give any info im pretty close to everyone who wrote me a lor

[fiery lance]

Gl y’all

[unkempt widget]

ohhh i see

[serene oxide]

thank you 😭

[unkempt widget]

i gave them my common app essay and answered a lot of questions in detail about what i wanted to do with my future 😭

[serene oxide]

i had to fill out a form on naviance for my teachers but it was kind of just a formality

[summer steppe]

my lors couldve either been amazing or 2/10 so ive decided to forget that they exist

ive heard everything about the calc teacher ranging from best lors ever to horrible

[unkempt widget]

D:

i hope its the best for you

:c since my gpa isn't as good i put a lot of effort into the other parts of my application

but idk how much of a difference it'd make :c

[unkempt widget]

why are calc teachers all mean tho

like mine was <.< so rude.

last day of school he was sassy with me and i was not having it 💀

[summer steppe]

it can make a very big and positive one 😄

[serene oxide]

my calc teacher last year was an absolute sweetheart i love her, but this year my teacher is so passive aggressive 😭

[summer steppe]

my calc teacher's mood depends

he enjoys poking fun at me though

i got a 0 on a pop quiz once and the next time i turned in a test he turned to the whole class and said "shes either gonna give me a 100 or a 0"

[pure vine]

if we get deferred we're allowed to change our application on common app right?

[tawdry zodiac]

i dont think so?

but you can submit a LOCI

[unkempt widget]

yeah we cant. they just kinda move u

to the regular decision pile

:/ kinda wack

deferral is an awkward place to be but 😭 i'd honestly prefer it over a rejection

[serene oxide]

same to be honest, if i was rejected i'd have to reevaluate my whole app since their deferral rate is so high for rea

[mighty quiver]

i think princeton deferral is pretty much equivalent to rejection…

[tawdry zodiac]

that's def not true but you don't have a much better chance during RD than any RD applicant

might even have a worse chance

[unkempt widget]

yeah, I think I would prefer it because it means I at least have a small chance at my dream school :C

[zenith quarry]

lwk deferring everyone is a strategy to artificially lower acceptance rates

[tawdry zodiac]

unless you accomplish something insane in the next like three months idk what would change their decision

id prefer being rejected honestly

just get this crazy idea i could go to princeton out of me at one 🙏

[unkempt widget]

im very determined to get into princeton 😭 i would literally be so heartbroken if i got rejected

they have a professor i wanna meetufhlirehgu

her books are fantastic :c

[pure vine]

wait so if i changed my app

i would be taken out of deferral pile and put in regular decision pile?

is that useful at all?

and what is LOCI?

[unkempt widget]

So you can't change your app. When you get deferred you just move to the regular decision pile to be looked at again.
LOCI is like a letter where you write down kinda of an appeal? that's kinda what it is.

[split haven]

any int’ students here?

[mighty quiver]

[pure vine]

ah ok i see interesting

[pure vine]

[unkempt widget]

[mighty quiver]

it doesn't mean anything

tbh

[unkempt widget]

oh ok 😭

[pure pagoda]

I had a 2 grade decrease in English this semester (IB), and I’m just praying it’s not going to affect the actual decisions since I’m intending to do math and physics anyway T_T

[pure pagoda]

yeah my teachers had a request to update grades from my counsellor and one of them told me

[unkempt widget]

were the requests a while ago?

😭 or recent

cuz i have to makeup a few tests

[mighty quiver]

several days ago

[unkempt widget]

aaaaafhlehrglerug

im just gonna ask my counselor

just to be sure

[tawdry zodiac]

[pure pagoda]

i only found out about it wednesday ish last week? apparently they wanted the updates in by thursday

[unkempt widget]

D:

well it would be my counselors fault

[gusty drift]

Ahhhh why does Princeton have to be rea
I wish I could have some safeties to gloss over the rejection

[fluid meadow]

public schools tho

[tawdry zodiac]

umd 🤩

[distant hinge]

you you could’ve applied to public school just not private

[fluid meadow]

most of my good instate options are public so idrc about the restrictive part

[fluid meadow]

yeah

[gusty drift]

I did for UVA but my other safeties are lac's

[desert kettle]

Since you're from Virginia, I thought this story is applicable but unfortunately a friend of mine who did REA to Stanford thought REA meant no EA anywhere else at all-

She found out in December she could EA to public schools, and I felt very bad for her.

[tawdry zodiac]

i dont think REA gives a massive boost at places like uva tbh

[fluid meadow]

that sucks

[gusty drift]

Rip that's tough

[tawdry zodiac]

at like rutgers or umd you basically have to apply ea to get in though

[fluid meadow]

yo u mean ed?

[desert kettle]

It does unfortunately, but thankfully it worked out for her! She got into UVA, W&M, and VT all through RD, so it ended up being okay.

[tawdry zodiac]

i meant ea

[fluid meadow]

theres not rea for uva

[fluid meadow]

it does

[desert kettle]

But at the time, she was very disappointed.

[fluid meadow]

availability for the major is necessary

[tawdry zodiac]

virginia has such awesome state schools lmao

[gusty drift]

I've heard that ea is great for UVA in students

[tawdry zodiac]

extremely jealous

[desert kettle]

Agreed, I really like the schools in my state. I really love William and Mary in particular.

[tawdry zodiac]

im def applying to w&m rd

[fluid meadow]

nice bro

[desert kettle]

It is, it's a really nice option if you wanna ED or REA somewhere since you have that option if it doesn't work out.

It's nice to EA VT, GMU, and/or JMU too.

[fluid meadow]

i would apply to w&m but theres not eng school

[tawdry zodiac]

gmu is great too yeah

[desert kettle]

Nice, good luck! W&M is so awesome.

[tawdry zodiac]

again virginia is just op

whyyyy

[desert kettle]

Why so if you don't mind me asking? They're amazing.

[fluid meadow]

VT is insane

[desert kettle]

Also UVA and VT have a lot in common.

[tawdry zodiac]

im not a stem person so i wont be applying to vt but w&m is so awesome

[desert kettle]

If you like one, you'd probably like the other too.

[desert kettle]

VT has really good humanities too!

Depending on what you wanna do

[fluid meadow]

i know people who EDed VT

its a a very good option

[tawdry zodiac]

bruh

[desert kettle]

But VT and GMU are really nice?

[tawdry zodiac]

do you have any safeties lmao?

[gusty drift]

I will go to NOVA

[fluid meadow]

where did you get in

[tawdry zodiac]

vt is very hard to get into as well

[fluid meadow]

nice bro

[desert kettle]

Thanks!

[fluid meadow]

where did you commit

[desert kettle]

Washington and Lee and Richmond are not likely schools for anyone?

Huh?

They're extremely difficult to get into.

[tawdry zodiac]

are those really safeties?

yeah

[desert kettle]

Especially W&L

[desert kettle]

I went to Grinnell before I transferred out last fall!

[fluid meadow]

Wash Lee is def not safety

lol

[tawdry zodiac]

w&l and richmond are pretty competitive afaik

[desert kettle]

Agreed, W&L is a reach for everyone.

[gusty drift]

Ik ik but "safety" more like "match"vi guess

[tawdry zodiac]

my safeties are like pitt (already got in) and rutgers

umd might be a safety since im not applying for a competitive major

[fluid meadow]

thats still competitive

uva is like 21%

yet everyone gets rejected

[desert kettle]

Acceptance rate doesn't tell the whole story since you have to consider how competitive the applicant pool is, and it's really competitive at W&L. Even if it was a target for you, it's still not a likely school no matter what, and there are no guarantees.

Also the acceptance rate at W&L was around 19% last year.

[tawdry zodiac]

if you're in-state uva is a lot easier

[desert kettle]

It's not 33%.

[tawdry zodiac]

especially if you apply ed

[fluid meadow]

true

[desert kettle]

Also even if you're someone who did everything right, you never know how the results could go.

[tawdry zodiac]

my uva scatter is not amazing

[desert kettle]

I know extremely qualified people who didn't get into UVA, W&L, W&M, or VT not because they did something wrong but because the app pools are competitive.

[fluid meadow]

when did the common app get an update lmao

its got pictures now

[desert kettle]

So it's a good idea to have at least one or two likely schools with high acceptance rates you can be sure of.

[tawdry zodiac]

GW 🙏

[gusty drift]

Nice lmao

[tawdry zodiac]

LACs usually have slightly higher acceptance rates too (probably due to a self selecting applicant pool imo)-> yet theyre extremely hard to get into, AOs really want to see fit

[desert kettle]

Agreed with this!

[desert kettle]

Wow, your school does really well.

[tawdry zodiac]

MAN

in-state moment

[fluid meadow]

my school is tryhard af

[tawdry zodiac]

how do people get negative test score

do you go to TJ LMAO

and gpa

[fluid meadow]

no

best school in one of the dmv counties

[tawdry zodiac]

fucking loudon

[fluid meadow]

lmao

LOL

[tawdry zodiac]

i HATE loudon county

based

way better

[fluid meadow]

yeah my school is on a different level

[desert kettle]

I'll message you if that's fine? Don't wanna say it in public here.

[fluid meadow]

ga tech 🙏

kid with exact same stats as me got accepted

its a sign 👁️

[desert kettle]

Sorry to hear that, hope they're doing well!

[fluid meadow]

ur chillin bro

[fluid meadow]

i zoomed into the good part

i can show full pic 💀

uva lol

\

gotta love it

[gusty drift]

oh thats a significant consistent increase

[fluid meadow]

yeah fr

[gusty drift]

those are some super high gpas though
how do you guys calculate?

[fluid meadow]

acceptances have stayed consistent but applications have increased

[fluid meadow]

5.3 scale

A+ is 4.3

[gusty drift]

I see I see

[fluid meadow]

most toxic shit ever

[gusty drift]

Our school luckily does not

Only up to 4

[fluid meadow]

getting a 98+ in an AP class is impossible

people are just too good at school

[tawdry zodiac]

man i wish my naviance had this

[fluid meadow]

like i have all As with 5 ap classes prior to senior year

[gusty drift]

A+s are pretty much impossible unless you only have like 2 aps

[fluid meadow]

our school doesnt allow freshman ap and only like 2 soph ap

[fluid meadow]

yeah

sat score avg at my schol is like a 1200

either people are really stupid or smart

[gusty drift]

Sameish

[fluid meadow]

theres some in between

[tawdry zodiac]

i hate nova

[fluid meadow]

[gusty drift]

Are you sure you aren't looking at 2018-2022 data?

[tawdry zodiac]

to princeton? no way

[hidden wharf]

from my school lol

[gusty drift]

unless you go to TJ or Stuy or Adlai or another magnet/feeder school
Are you super duper sure you aren't looking at 2018-2022

[hidden wharf]

yes

wanna see sum else

[tawdry zodiac]

oh my god

[gusty drift]

what school or area

[tawdry zodiac]

doesn't mean its all REA though

[hidden wharf]

yeah it's rea and rd combined

do you want to see cornell lol

[gusty drift]

jesus

[hidden wharf]

upenn

[tawdry zodiac]

god

your school sent like 1 kid to princeton last year right?

[hidden wharf]

3

[tawdry zodiac]

oh dang

that's crazy

do you know if they were legacies/recruits

how big is ur class

[hidden wharf]

all three were first or second gen immigrants

[tawdry zodiac]

gotta be like 1k

[hidden wharf]

two were korean people

one was hispanic

[hidden wharf]

550

[gusty drift]

2nd gen gives no discernible boost as far as i know

[tawdry zodiac]

A QUARTER OF YOUR CLASS APPLIED TO CORNELL???

[gusty drift]

Bruh not even a* quarter of my class applies to UVA

[tawdry zodiac]

dawg 😭 i hate moco

[hidden wharf]

yes

that is what im implying

[tawdry zodiac]

please princeton let me be the hispanic dmv kid

[hidden wharf]

we had a really good year for cornell last year it was actually crazy

every year my school has crazy admissions for a couple colleges

it's supposed to be a good year for UCs

[tawdry zodiac]

i bet like 1/4 goes to umd or something

[hidden wharf]

based on past patterns

[gusty drift]

damn
but aren't UCs kind of out-of-reach for out-of-state kids (both financially and acceptance-wise)

[unkempt widget]

guys

i think i must say goodbye to princeton

its not gonna happen 😭

[tawdry zodiac]

same

i am slowly coming to terms with it

[unkempt widget]

lets like. pray. even tho im not that religious.

lets just. pray.

[tawdry zodiac]

i will still probably be very upset though

[unkempt widget]

LMFAO

when i get rejected

ill just stare

and be like "okay"

and then after ill cry 💀 but ill know that it was coming

[gusty drift]

Even for the best applicants pton is still a reach 😭
Not me though my essays and ecs are not that great

[serene oxide]

if i don't get in i'm going to make a list of reasons why i wouldn't enjoy it

[unkempt widget]

yes

[serene oxide]

hopefully that'll cheer me up lol

[unkempt widget]

LOL

[tawdry zodiac]

exactly yeah

i have so many things going for me and i still wont get in

it's so competitive its basically a lottery

[gusty drift]

indeed
Thats why we shotgun to all the t20s amirite

[tawdry zodiac]

yep

[serene oxide]

so fun 🤩

[serene oxide]

this

an ao could be having a bad day and decide to reject more people

[tawdry zodiac]

i cant believe their last class was only 8% hispanic

[serene oxide]

my friend's mom's friend is a duke ao and she said this happens sometimes 💀

[gusty drift]

if my AO has a bad day im going to have an extremely bad day

[tawdry zodiac]

doesn't make me feel great

[hidden wharf]

i live in a pretty affluent school district so financially isnt terrible but we tend to do well with UCs

[gusty drift]

I see i see

[tawdry zodiac]

💀

[tawdry zodiac]

fire

8% hispanic is a tad low

[hidden wharf]

yeah about a quarter of the class goes to UMD

[tawdry zodiac]

considering the US is like 20% latino

[hidden wharf]

this was my school for ucla

[tawdry zodiac]

wow

[serene oxide]

woahh that's crazy

[hidden wharf]

berkeley

[serene oxide]

2022 is scary 😭

did no one update or were admissions just wack

[hidden wharf]

sometimes the stats arent properly reported

no one updated

[serene oxide]

ok yea that makes sense

[tawdry zodiac]

holy shit yeah 😭

[hidden wharf]

ucsd

irvine

idek why im still sendingn these

i like looking at stats of colleges im not applying to 😭

[serene oxide]

honestly same

[hidden wharf]

because it doesnt result in a wave of temproary depressin

praise the lord i talked myself out of applying to brown and dartmouth this morning

my only reasons to apply were "ivy league school pretty campus and i like brown and green"

[serene oxide]

two less application fees to pay 🙏

[tawdry zodiac]

i would never apply to dartmouth

ill probably apply to brown though

[serene oxide]

i remember i wanted to apply for brown in my soph year but i ended up deciding not to

[hidden wharf]

actually my teammate is commited to row at dartmouth and dartmouth doesnt have lightweight team so i'd be spending four more years being dominated by him and that would be soul crushing

but the river is beautiful

and the skiing in the winter

[unkempt widget]

dartmouth has this tradition where they make a hole in the ice

and jump in the cold water

💀 idk why they would but

sounds fun to watch LOL

my dad totally thinks im getting in and its gonna suck to tell him i didnt

i guess deferral isnt as bad as being rejected but they're just gonna reject me in march so it doesn't really matter
