[gusty wind]

Na I’m a student journo so its all for my newspaper or, during the summer, internships at professional newspapers

[frigid galleon]

he said "gl (f slur)"

😭

[vernal junco]

[gusty wind]

W!!

[daring steeple]

From para, that means a lot

[vernal junco]

that's good to hear! Uchicago would be glad to have someone doing photography for them, so admissions committee will definitely see this as a positive

[lilac bridge]

congrats !!!

[vernal junco]

congrats!

good to hear you did well on your exam

[gusty wind]

They have professional photogs, but ya photography talent def a positive

[lilac bridge]

thank you !! yeah i listed it as one of my ECs even tho i don't rlly intend to go into journalism or photography, just figured it was smth i liked doing so why not

[vernal junco]

ye

[gusty wind]

Im a student photojournalist who sucks at photo mechanic so that’s fun

[vernal junco]

100% get that, I sometimes flip flop between stuff like photography and other things based on the time

having a ton of interests imo helps you build motivation

[gusty wind]

My editors can’t get mad at me tho cause I’m the editor 💪

[vernal junco]

because you have a ton of areas to draw inspiration from

[vernal junco]

you're going to threaten to edit their pictures lmao

[gusty wind]

God I wish, I’m incredibly one dimensional 💀

[onyx sedge]

Vote in the poll @gusty wind

[gusty wind]

Na I just mean I can’t get in trouble for not understanding photo mechanic autopopulated captions

[vernal junco]

you just gotta find yourself, people take different times to find passions

[onyx sedge]

Thank you :)

[gusty wind]

Voted!

[gusty wind]

Oh I mean I have a passion, but only one, and I’m kinda obsessed

All I do is journalism

But I love it

So what’s

[vernal junco]

dude at my school the editor for our school yearbook edited a ton of shit, like removing people's eyebrows and adding danny devito in secret areas

[gusty wind]

Whatev*

[onyx sedge]

And you're so fucking good at it

[gusty wind]

LMAO

[vernal junco]

having an obsession is good too, since that means you're dedicated

[gusty wind]

I just slay every day

[onyx sedge]

Literally

[vernal junco]

damn we have a lot of great people going to uchicago this year fr

[onyx sedge]

Your resume scares me

[gusty wind]

You’ve seen my resume?

[vernal junco]

tons of autoadmits from this channel for this year

[warped river]

fr

[onyx sedge]

Not entirely, and that's why it scares me

[warped river]

you guys are crazy accomplished

[gusty wind]

Oh lol

[vernal junco]

don't discount yourself either lol

[onyx sedge]

I could share my resume ig

[gusty wind]

We’re all such awesome sauce people amiright

[onyx sedge]

Y'all want to see it?

[gusty wind]

Don’t dox yourself but if you wanna, sure ig

[lilac bridge]

[gusty wind]

Yup!

[vernal junco]

[lilac bridge]

[lilac bridge]

[warped river]

ooh good luck tomorrow midnight!!

[lilac bridge]

[gusty wind]

Oh nice! Do you know if your school is a pacemaker?

[gusty wind]

Tysm!

[lilac bridge]

i don't know what that is 😭

[vernal junco]

good luck!

[gusty wind]

It’s ok most non-journos don’t 😭

[vernal junco]

isn't that something that helps you keep your heartbeat going?

[gusty wind]

Pacemaker is the hs Pulitzer. About 20 hs pubs get it every year. And NU medill’s freshman class is always massively dominated by pacemaker kids

[lilac bridge]

oh well

yes

[vernal junco]

damn

[lilac bridge]

my school's magazine has won the pacemaker apparently? according to google

[vernal junco]

all these prestigious competitions

[gusty wind]

Ayyy w

[vernal junco]

yooo gg

[gusty wind]

Ya if they sent kids to medill I’d expect it

My paper has a 3 year curse

We win every three years and are finalists in the odd years

Off*

2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021 😭

[vernal junco]

jesus you go to an insane league school

[gusty wind]

For newspaper yes

Our average sat is sub-1000 tho

You win some you lose some amiright

[onyx sedge]

Fuck it

Is that a bad idea

I feel like that's a bad idea

[gusty wind]

I wouldn’t share it lol

Imo

[onyx sedge]

Wait, make sure I don't dox myself first

[vernal junco]

you could prob just say generalizations about stuff

like don't include specifics

[lilac bridge]

yeah

[onyx sedge]

I'm playing it dangerous y'all

[lilac bridge]

damn

thats such a neat layout

[gusty wind]

W format

[lilac bridge]

i have never written a resume so idk what it should look like but thats neat and i love it

[onyx sedge]

Thank you, I used the standard Google docs format

[lilac bridge]

pretty green

also damn those ECs ??? love that

[vernal junco]

you may want to remove the brand name of the lawncare service if that's trackable

[lilac bridge]

i have no leadership so im pretty fucked for college so

[onyx sedge]

It's not :)

[gusty wind]

Y’all are very cool people

[onyx sedge]

'preciate it

[vernal junco]

overall your resume is a solid W

[lilac bridge]

WAIT you owned the service thats so cool

[onyx sedge]

You're a very awesome person as well

[onyx sedge]

Yea, I built it all myself

[lilac bridge]

trex a W and a very awesom person

[onyx sedge]

I'm kinda proud of it

[vernal junco]

I also predict T-REX is a W person

[onyx sedge]

Thank you :)

[lilac bridge]

i'd be surprised if u didnt get in tbh like this is insane

[gusty wind]

I submitted a two page resume to northwestern and then was told by a bunch of people that 2 page resumes are bad so that’s fun 🤪

[gusty wind]

Woah dang, nice

[vernal junco]

are we supposed to do resumes, or is that in place of the common app?

[lilac bridge]

you're a sr in hs, you dont have to get everything perfect

they'll understand

[onyx sedge]

After you get enough work experience you almost need more than 2 pages, so if it was a solid resume with actually really important info everywhere, then you're fine.

[gusty wind]

Some schools let you submit them but generally no need

[vernal junco]

ah alright, I was about to panic for a second lol

[gentle maple]

guys

im starting to panic

everyone in my school is getting in

[vernal junco]

so you'll get in

[safe wagon]

hello

[lilac bridge]

so you'll get in too

[onyx sedge]

Hello!

[gentle maple]

[safe wagon]

[safe wagon]

literally 2 out of the 60 ppl in our penn thread got in lol

[gentle maple]

worst city out of all the schools ngl

place is a dump

[onyx sedge]

Holy shit

[safe wagon]

idk I was at least expecting a deferral not a straight up rejection 💀💀

[vernal junco]

dw this thread is going to have a 100% acceptance rate

[safe wagon]

worst day of my life been crying for 3 straight hrs

[safe wagon]

so real

[onyx sedge]

It'll get better Hershey. They are better schools out there that care about you kore

[lilac bridge]

i feel you

i got rejected from columbia and i was (and still am) a mess

[vernal junco]

damn, I hope it gets better soon, but there's definitely a school out there that'll recognize you, and you'll have a 100% admit rate for that one

[lilac bridge]

LORs matter a lot for uchi right? hopefully mine work well for here

[vernal junco]

sending you best wishes

[alpine sun]

WAIT HTYE DO????

[safe wagon]

thank you guys <3

[alpine sun]

One of mine is very mid the other is good

[ocean mortar]

my principal wrote one of my letters

[lilac bridge]

idk if i'm the type of person uchi wants but i can't change that, so i'm hoping for the best & not expecting much

[daring steeple]

Bro…so happy to hear this. I had goated LORs

[alpine sun]

I think its essay first

[ocean mortar]

same

[lilac bridge]

mostly cus i don't feel like i fit the "quirkiness" they want

[alpine sun]

LOR after

[ocean mortar]

thank god

[alpine sun]

by a large margin

[lilac bridge]

i had one goated LOR but idk abt the other

[ocean mortar]

my essays and LoRs are so good

[lilac bridge]

oh my essays are

[gentle maple]

i cant believe only 2 penn out of the 60 people in the ED pool in a2c

[lilac bridge]

well they're unique & true to me so

[alpine sun]

my counselor rec is going to be ass

💀

[vernal junco]

we just gotta trust that the cult gets us in lol

[lilac bridge]

FUCK THE COUNSELOR REC

[daring steeple]

At the end of the day if I don’t get in, I’ll be bummed but it probably means I wasn’t a good fit

[lilac bridge]

yeah same

[ocean mortar]

yeah my counselor is new but she's sweet and knows me the best out of anyone in my grade probably so it's fine

[lilac bridge]

i'll be scrambling to figure out rd but

[ocean mortar]

yeah exactly

[alpine sun]

Peoples republic of chicago meetup at O-Block when we all get in. Remember to dress in maroon from head to toe in order to show your pride as a chicago student

😄

[vernal junco]

think of it as the college being too bent out of shape to recognize a perfect fit

[daring steeple]

I convinced my to principal write mine

[frigid galleon]

http://sigtbd.csail.mit.edu/pubs/2022/sigtbd22-paper10.pdf

[ocean mortar]

o-block is getting torn down

[mild rose]

send me hoodie recs 😩

[ocean mortar]

rip chiraq

[vernal junco]

most colleges are like rusted locks anyways, it gets harder to get in and be a fit by the year

[gentle maple]

wowie are you a mod or smtg lol

[frigid galleon]

he's a minimod

the little red role means he is an assigned snitch

[daring steeple]

Haha. I wish I had that confidence

[gentle maple]

so AO?

[warped river]

damn thats scary

[frigid galleon]

people with the role color don't actually have mod but we talk to the mods and have a special channel to communicate with them

[vernal junco]

this isn't confidence, this is me trying to cope with the fact that I'm likely going to get rejected lol

[frigid galleon]

he's like an RA

[gentle maple]

hmmmmm :<<

i no trust red people now

[frigid galleon]

i literally bark here half the time

do you think i'm snitching

[warped river]

bro my counselor just got her job THIS SEPTEMBER

[frigid galleon]

i just wanted the role 💀

[gentle maple]

oh..

[warped river]

i hate the counselor rec

[frigid galleon]

do you know how many times i've said woof in this channel

[lilac bridge]

so many people got into columbia ED from a2c and 😭 man this server has been amazing but also really bad for my self confidence

[gentle maple]

@frigid galleon are you a alumni donor???????

[frigid galleon]

because even i fucking don't

[frigid galleon]

same

[frigid galleon]

that role is for nitro boosters

[lilac bridge]

idk what my counselor said in mine

[gentle maple]

ohhh

[frigid galleon]

i boost this server yes

[lilac bridge]

like 1000+ i'd bet

[gentle maple]

honestly my counselor loved me so im kinda happy for that rec

[vernal junco]

honestly we gotta counteract the role this server has since a lot of people are toxic as hell

[alpine sun]

My counselor probs wrote: "this bozo has mid grades"

[warped river]

at least 25 times

[lilac bridge]

my counselor prob wrote "this idiot skips gym to work on college apps too many times" cus i kept visiting her cus i didnt want to go to gym

[gentle maple]

@teal mauve did you apply to Uchicago?

[frigid galleon]

@lilac bridge I have two things to say to you

[lilac bridge]

oui

[teal mauve]

No

[frigid galleon]

1. Columbia is a bum ass school fuck Columbia

2. You are perfect as you are

yeah sorry carly you don't seem like the uchicago type

[lilac bridge]

so true, mandatory swim test and all

[gentle maple]

did you ED anywhereeee?

[ocean mortar]

my counselor probably wrote "ive never seen a girl chew grapes so neurotically"

[warped river]

i have this crazy good irl that ik is going to get into a t5 school who was bffs with the counselor like the week after the counselor came to our school. ik shes def going to get a good rec.

[lilac bridge]

this also applies to you btw

[frigid galleon]

wow i wonder why i'm in this thread 🤪

[teal mauve]

I was told im the duke type recently

[frigid galleon]

you seem like the ASU type tbh

[ocean mortar]

shes actually the one who got me to apply to UChi, she said she loved it when she visited for her job

[frigid galleon]

chill

[vernal junco]

bro I think columbia is trying to drown people and only reject the ones that don't drown

[frigid galleon]

just wants to get through college

maaybe parties a bit but not too much

[gentle maple]

did you ed anywehreee lol

[teal mauve]

I went there for a bit but I’m surprised you think that

[warped river]

mine probably wrote that im a weird ass antisocial bum who cant even say good morning without stuttering ngl

[gentle maple]

WRONG PERSON LMAO

[lilac bridge]

LAMOSWNIDND

[teal mauve]

No

[lilac bridge]

if you can swim you get rejected

[gentle maple]

still cant wrap my mind around the fact that youre a HS seniro

[teal mauve]

Im not

Im a Transfer

[frigid galleon]

carly is not an hs senior

[vernal junco]

it's like lord of the flies

[frigid galleon]

she's a transfer

ype

[gentle maple]

oh oh oh that is epic, where are you at rn>

[vernal junco]

this is honestly the best way to describe college admissions imo

[teal mauve]

Community

[alpine sun]

HArvard is the University of alabama of the north

[gentle maple]

cool cool

[ocean mortar]

so true

[lilac bridge]

wait so true

[gentle maple]

i should probnably start working on my RD essays lmao

[teal mauve]

This is the first year someone has thought i wasnt a 30 year old mom

[lilac bridge]

someone should write a supp comparing lord of the flies to college admissions

[alpine sun]

dont (not working on rd's shows demonstrated interest in chicago)

[ocean mortar]

if the lord of the flies analogy is true, who/what is the pig head covered in flies

[alpine sun]

there are AO's living in your walls

[frigid galleon]

IS THAT A COMMUNITY REFERENCE??????

[gentle maple]

facts facts facts

[frigid galleon]

TROY IS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER ‼️

sorry

[ocean mortar]

i like jeff

and troy

[frigid galleon]

ik you went there for a bit but honestly you do seem like the type

[ocean mortar]

and abed

[teal mauve]

I didnt party there tho lol

[alpine sun]

I like abed the most

[frigid galleon]

you're too chill to be a tryhard which rules out the ivies and you don't seem terribly quirky which rules out uchicago

[vernal junco]

collegeboard

[frigid galleon]

yeah you don't really seem like you'd party

but the rest of the ASU experience seems like it would be your type of thing

[teal mauve]

I didn’t start lightly drinking until I was 20 and heavily drinking until last week

[frigid galleon]

like ASU sounds pretty chill

[lilac bridge]

did the final week before decisions tip you over the edge

[frigid galleon]

you just want to go to a nice school

get through college

[vernal junco]

honestly when I get into college I gotta just avoid drinking

[frigid galleon]

me but with coffee

dude i never drank coffee now i'm building up a caffeine tolerance

😭😭

i bought my own fucking instant coffee stash

[teal mauve]

I was like that for a while and it worked bc I didn’t like the taste of alcohol but then I discovered cocktails

[vernal junco]

ye, the main thing for me is that it's against my religion to drink and also it'd be really bad for me

[teal mauve]

My dad was an alcoholic so I feel you

[frigid galleon]

i won't be able to drink the entire time i'm in college

only when i'm out for a year can i drink

soooooooooo

no alcoholism for me

[vernal junco]

ye I just don't want to start the process of getting addicted because it's hard to escape that hole

[frigid galleon]

hey do you want powdered coffee

like

microground

from starbucks

[vernal junco]

I barely get coffee

[frigid galleon]

dry scoop this shit man

[vernal junco]

usually I get starbucks like every so often and get someth like hot chocolate or java chip or someth

[lilac bridge]

JAVA CHIP FRAPPUCCINO

[vernal junco]

but usually I just like drinking chai at home

[lilac bridge]

JAVA CHIP FRAPP BEST DRINK FROM STARBUCKS I LOVE IT

[vernal junco]

true 100%

imo best part is chewing on the chocolate chips

[alpine sun]

Starbucks has somehow ruined chai

its like candle liquid

not chai

[vernal junco]

there's a place near my friend's house that's a small restaurant that has insane chai

I honestly think we need more small restaurants and less chains

[alpine sun]

for sure

[vernal junco]

small restaurants have better quality overall

[alpine sun]

same with bookstores imo

i want more small bookstores

[vernal junco]

more uniqueness too

[alpine sun]

with little coffeeshops

to relax at

[lilac bridge]

true

[vernal junco]

truue that's a vibe

[alpine sun]

i rlly like the vibes of the uchicago coffee places

/ study spots

[lilac bridge]

omg i want to just go around the city & find little bookstores to frequent

like i want that so badly

[alpine sun]

wallet will get pounded tho 😭

books are so expensive

[vernal junco]

settling down with a book and coffee on a rainy day is a W

[broken mason]

bro

[vernal junco]

yeah, that's another reason I like the campus

[broken mason]

I am not having a good

night

my parent's dont keep melatonin in the house so I went to my friend and borrowed some

[vernal junco]

yoo I remember that on my street when I used to live in chicago, there was always a coldstone slightly down the street, and then further down a bookstore

[alpine sun]

bro od'd on melatonin

[vernal junco]

shit was chill

[broken mason]

I got back and put them in a clear tissue and i put it on my desk

and now I can't fucking find them

[alpine sun]

💀

[broken mason]

[broken mason]

[vernal junco]

I have a half day for like holiday stuff

[broken mason]

like I'm stressing so hard and I can't find it and i fel like shit and wtffff

Where did I put those melatonins yall

[vernal junco]

I'm not sure how we can help you, but maybe also try turning off the lights and see if you can find it then since melatonin increases when it's dark

[broken mason]

🤣

nice joke

but thank you

Idk im just stressed

[vernal junco]

that's understandable

maybe it's blending in with something or it's under some sheets or something

[broken mason]

is this what it feels liek to be an addict looking for drugs

💢

[lilac bridge]

is it in the tissue

[magic oar]

Yes

[broken mason]

I think I remmeber taking it out of the tissue and putting it somewhere

[broken mason]

well maybe i'm good that I didn't take any melatonin

dude what the shit

[alpine sun]

nah you cant od on melatonin

[broken mason]

maybe its good that I lost it

[magic oar]

I think it’s not deadly to “overdose” on melatonin

[alpine sun]

its not a big deal just

way overkill

[vernal junco]

dude would just be knocked out immediately

[broken mason]

my friend took 36mg and I remmeber him throwing up

[vernal junco]

TF

[broken mason]

nah he wasn't knocked out he was just throwing up

[magic oar]

actually most of the time it just… doesn’t amount to much?? I think that overproduction of melatonin just doesn’t do anything

[alpine sun]

it tapers off significantly

[vernal junco]

bro astral projected and came back

[onyx sedge]

I take 16mg every night

[alpine sun]

[onyx sedge]

Is that bad?

[magic oar]

Sometimes I wanna drink a Red Bull and have like 5 melatonins and create a war for my sleep schedule

[onyx sedge]

It doesn't affect me though

[magic oar]

Have you awoken in the Denver airport at any point

[broken mason]

Nah I drank an energy drink cus I was squatting and I needed the extra juice

[onyx sedge]

Like barely even makes me tired

[alpine sun]

3 is enough to send me to sleep for a while

[onyx sedge]

3 is like nothing wtf

[broken mason]

bruh I took the 12mg tablet before and it took me 1hr to fall asleep

[alpine sun]

it takes 1hr for most meds

to take effect

[broken mason]

I think I was over anticipting it

[magic oar]

Bro it takes me 30 mins w 1 my

[onyx sedge]

I can take 16mg and then pull an all-nighter

[alpine sun]

iirc lower doses of melatonin are acc more effective

[broken mason]

nah bro 1mg melatonin what the shit

[broken mason]

well idk 36mg took my boy the fuck out

[alpine sun]

weird

[gentle maple]

imagine needing drugs to sleep

[alpine sun]

so true

[broken mason]

I do when I drink a rein body fuel

why tf do they put 300mg caff in that shit

fuck out of here

[alpine sun]

When i need to sleep i simply bash my head with a rock

[broken mason]

I buy it cus its the cheapest energy drink

[vernal junco]

[broken mason]

I usually GTB @ 1:30/2 and wake up @ 9:20

[gentle maple]

at least im kinda jacked :)) no six pack yet tho

[broken mason]

my first class is at 9:50

[onyx sedge]

Driving to the school at like 6:30 when it's pitch black outside then doing a lab for an hour while slowly the rest of the school filters in

[vernal junco]

Fuck I've been awake for 17 hours this isn't good

[gentle maple]

SLEEP

[magic oar]

That’s like 1 more hour than average

[broken mason]

i live like 3 mins away from my school so I can afford to chill

[gentle maple]

[broken mason]

[vernal junco]

True I only usually get 5 hours sleep per night

[magic oar]

But I had first off cus when I had UNC math it was @ 8AM

[gentle maple]

dude i wouldnt make it through a school day wtf

[broken mason]

[magic oar]

“Safety”

It’s 1% higher than UChi

[broken mason]

🤣 belive it or not duke seems to no longer feeder our school

[gentle maple]

his "local state" school

[broken mason]

we had 15 acceptances 2020-2021 year

out of a class size of 369

[gentle maple]

his "community" college

[onyx sedge]

That's a selective ass safety bruh

[gentle maple]

holy crap

[lilac bridge]

ok unrelated note but ap stats is the worst fucking class i have EVER taken like i'm struggling more than i was with ap physics and i bombed that class

[broken mason]

my schools a true public tho

[frigid galleon]

woof >w<

[broken mason]

like you can move to the area and get districted ot my school

[gentle maple]

my school is feeder for Cornell

[frigid galleon]

if you need help lmk

i got a 4

[magic oar]

I’m so excited to try to learn Econ

So much stuff I’ve just… never heard of before

[gentle maple]

we had 20+ acceptances and 13 total go there last year

[frigid galleon]

okay i'm heading out again

gonna play beat saber or something

byee you fucking nerds

love you all

[lilac bridge]

omg have fun para

love you

[frigid galleon]

i hope you get into uchicago

all of you are getting in

[vocal eagle]

love u para

[broken mason]

im bouta have a heart attack due to lack of mel

❤️

attack

[lilac bridge]

go be your awesome amazing perfect self

[frigid galleon]

ty 😊

[broken mason]

are you the guy who goes to stuy?

[onyx sedge]

Bro what

[lilac bridge]

the denied 1550 sat is going to be me

[magic oar]

Me

[onyx sedge]

My school has had one person go in the last decade or something like that

[alpine sun]

no

[magic oar]

Denied 36

[lilac bridge]

my school sends like 4 ppl a yr to uchi 😭

[gentle maple]

NAH THAT GRAPH WOULD BE SO MANY DOTS IF STUY

[onyx sedge]

y'all are so lucky

[gentle maple]

STUY HAS SO MANY DOTS ON THEIR GRAPHS

[magic oar]

My school sends 1 like every other year

[broken mason]

there was a guy here last night that went to stuy

[broken mason]

true public or private

[gentle maple]

a ton of my friends do

[lilac bridge]

the downside is, everyone applies

[alpine sun]

pub

[lilac bridge]

so i'm basically fighting the entire fucking school

[gentle maple]

we only sent two to uchi last year

[magic oar]

My only competitor is my ex

[broken mason]

so if I moved to your area I could get districted to your school

[onyx sedge]

Word

[alpine sun]

magnet

[broken mason]

so not true public

[alpine sun]

you did give 2 options 😭

[magic oar]

Yeah, she has One point lower on the ACT, slightly less achievement in extracurriculars, but .1 higher GPA and a very slightly better writer

[broken mason]

thats fair

[onyx sedge]

Hahaha, that's hilarious

What a funny rivalry

[magic oar]

She has a fucked up family life she could’ve written about but she decided to write about psychology

[broken mason]

man I go to a public public school

[broken mason]

idk how well that approach actually fairs

if I was an AO i wouldn't wanna listen to sob stories

[magic oar]

I at least wrote about ADHD

[onyx sedge]

My ex had a similar thing to me. Slightly higher GPA, slightly (WAY) lower ACT, similar ECs, better work experience

[magic oar]

No not like that

[broken mason]

I'd rather give my admission spots to people who seem like they can do good

[magic oar]

more about overcoming a struggle

I talked abt having ADHD and improving myself

[broken mason]

thats fine

[magic oar]

She had a lot of personality to show and she kind of just wrote about how she’s interested in smth

Hopefully my essays do better bc I’ve gotten GLOWING feedback from ppl but eh

[onyx sedge]

I wish you luck Fizzie

[magic oar]

Thank you :) you too

[onyx sedge]

Were you ED or EA?

[magic oar]

EA

so like

[lilac bridge]

i don't think i'm a great writer but i wrote abt immigrating to america & overcoming those struggles

[magic oar]

no

[magic oar]

That’s a great topic

[lilac bridge]

same boat 😭

[onyx sedge]

You should fill out the poll

[alpine sun]

nice

[lilac bridge]

it's a bit cliche but i tried to put a unique spin on it

[magic oar]

Watch us both get in

[brazen comet]

what time is uchicago coming out

[magic oar]

We don’t know

[onyx sedge]

Late Afternoon next Wednesday

[magic oar]

i wish we knew so bad

[onyx sedge]

Check pins

[magic oar]

Ow

[lilac bridge]

okay i doubt it's all it's cracked up to be, but when i was researching uchi i thought scav was rlly fucking cool

[magic oar]

Me too

[onyx sedge]

It sounds epic ngl

[magic oar]

I wrote abt scav

[lilac bridge]

like who wouldnt want to do a chaotic scavenger hunt for an entire weekend like

[onyx sedge]

I'm gonna build a nuclear reactor for funzies

[lilac bridge]

same i wrote abt scav

[magic oar]

Now please don’t tell me you all wrote abt scav too

[onyx sedge]

Also, gonna participate in the humans versus zombies event as well

[magic oar]

uh oh

I wrote about how going about all chaotically would help me integrate myself into a new community

having to go and grab stuff would familiarize me with the area

[lilac bridge]

tbh my tour guide mentioned the nuclear reactor thing and i was like "the fuck is happening at this school" and then i researched scav and i was like "ykw that makes more sense"

[magic oar]

when did y’all tour

[lilac bridge]

summer

or

[magic oar]

I went mid spring

[lilac bridge]

late sept actually

[magic oar]

I went to the ivies late sept

[lilac bridge]

cus i was fighting over uchi w my parents 😭

[magic oar]

Fell in love with Princeton and brown

[lilac bridge]

did you ED?

[magic oar]

no

I didn’t wanna get trapped in a decision

[alpine sun]

princeton would be good if it wasent in new jersey

[lilac bridge]

fair

[magic oar]

One of the main points my tour guide made is that it’s a 1 hr train ride from Philadelphia and a 45 min train ride from NYC

I love the open curriculum of brown tho

genuinely perfect for me

[alpine sun]

Brown is so hard to get into

😭

[daring steeple]

I love the "all school" acceptance at UChic

[magic oar]

Yeah

[alpine sun]

?

[daring steeple]

It allows me to pursue so many interests at once

[magic oar]

I wrote one of my best essays for them tho

[alpine sun]

im going to rd

unless....

[lilac bridge]

i actually enjoyed writing the quirky essay

[magic oar]

Actually 2 of my best essays

[magic oar]

Me too

[radiant hawk]

MANIFESTING

[lilac bridge]

like no matter what, i enjoyed it and that's rlly all that matters

[radiant hawk]

SORCERY

[daring steeple]

Some schools when you apply you get into their communications school or engineering, but at UChicago you just get into the whole university because of the core curriculum

[magic oar]

For the joy one I wrote about a candy that I ate for comfort when I visited my grandma for the last time and for the open curriculum one I just used a nice little extended metaphor

[lilac bridge]

i really would like to do the big problems interdisciplinary they have

would like to do that in later years

[daring steeple]

SAME. It's hard filling out the other apps because they're just lame

[alpine sun]

oh yeah love that

very flexible

[magic oar]

The curse of doing the uchi app first

[magic oar]

I felt so special writing the first one

[lilac bridge]

like say what you will abt uchi, but it's so refreshing compared to "tell us abt yourself" or "what do you enjoy"

[magic oar]

It was really sad tho I had to write it sitting not too far from my mom and grandpa

[daring steeple]

I really want to get into the MSCAPP at uchic

[lilac bridge]

like you want me to write abt a palindrome or wisdom tooth advice or visiting mars like that's fucking cool!

[magic oar]

Uchicago makes me want to achieve smth

[tight nimbus]

...i also wrote about scav, but i also briefly talked about kuvia

[magic oar]

I did mars

[lilac bridge]

i love those prompts!

[hollow badge]

the palindrome one so fun

[lilac bridge]

difficult to come up w ideas for but at least they're unique

[magic oar]

I didn’t love the wisdom tooth

[daring steeple]

Right! I have such a hard time talking about myself so it's nice for them to indirectly see who I am through the prompt

[tight nimbus]

i ended up doing my own prompt for the second essay though lmao

[hollow badge]

i think i wrote the best essays i’ve ever written in applying for uchicago

[daring steeple]

Which prompt did you do?

[lilac bridge]

i did the palindrome one and tied it back to my culture and it was just a fun time

[magic oar]

Me w Rice and brown

[tight nimbus]

i tried writing for the other prompts and it just didnt click for me so i just went and did my own lmaooo

[magic oar]

also uchi lol

I think I’m a pretty good writer

[daring steeple]

I wrote 3 uncommon essays

And then chose last minute

[daring steeple]

What did you write about?

[tight nimbus]

it was...complicated- idk if i want to really share it lmao

i'll say that it was talking about literature though

[daring steeple]

Am I the only one that's never read their essays after submitting?

[radiant hawk]

i didnt read it after

[warped river]

i was but then i accidentally read them

[radiant hawk]

because i know im gonna have so much thoughts

so im done

[warped river]

you’re doing the right thing by not reading them

[radiant hawk]

NO MORE

fr

cant even fix it

[daring steeple]

I can't because I just looked at my uncommon and instantly went "wtf...I'm not getting in"

[warped river]

yeah same

and i was so delusional thinking i’d get in

bro i was writing wannabe poetry at the start

[gentle maple]

uncommon>

??

Looking Forward

This year’s applicants have come from around the globe and are united by a compelling interest in learning and the power of ideas. No matter your admissions decision, you have a bright future ahead of you.

Uchicago uncommon blog ^^

[broken mason]

im feeling all kinds of terrible rn

[onyx sedge]

I love the uncommon blog

Makes me feel a little hopeful

[daring steeple]

It's called the uncommon essay?

[alpine sun]

my brother in christ it is 70 degrees in winter.

[gentle maple]

oh

[alpine sun]

we are not having a bright future

😔

[gentle maple]

bro NY is freezing rn

[twilit rampart]

What time do they come out?

[alpine sun]

yeah lowk the joke doesnt work rn

[gentle maple]

they havent released any specific time yet

[twilit rampart]

Arg

[gentle maple]

im so confused

[broken mason]

I honestly agree with the last sentenc

[twilit rampart]

I received my decision around 3-5pm when I applied

[broken mason]

anyone who is applying to uchicago is trying to better their lives, and even if they dont get in, they will better it in other ways cus theyre taking action

[alpine sun]

its a global warming joke

[vernal junco]

100% bet everyone is going to be amazing

[gentle maple]

lol i see, but not when the whole country is being slammed with storms

[vernal junco]

Everyone is uchicago tier here regardless of what location they're in

And that'll stay true even if we don't get in

[gentle maple]

Hell Yeah

[onyx sedge]

They do a rolling release in the afternoon, I believe

[gentle maple]

interesting

[onyx sedge]

That's at least what I remember hearing

Idk where though

[gentle maple]

i love how MIT releases at 12:17pm on 12/17

that is so funky

[onyx sedge]

Hahaha

That is so cool

[vernal junco]

Outquirked the chicago

[warped river]

fr

[radiant hawk]

uchicago will publish 21:12 on dec 21

(palindrome)

[onyx sedge]

Istg if it's that late at night I will be so sad

[radiant hawk]

yeah but it will be quirky

[onyx sedge]

Would be

Why can't they just do 12:21 on 12/21?

[gentle maple]

fr

[alpine sun]

omg

did they really

make it 21

cus its a palindrome

12/21

💀 no way

[onyx sedge]

That would be funny

Lowkey

[hollow badge]

woah

[tight nimbus]

oh god i just realizes it was a palindrome....

[onyx sedge]

They're being extra quirky for us

[radiant hawk]

quirky ass mfs

[tight nimbus]

no clue if it was intentional, but they literally had a palindrome prompt so- maybe

[onyx sedge]

Them pushing back the announcement has now been excused because it's a palindrome

[ornate zinc]

whens decision out

[radiant hawk]

12/21

[onyx sedge]

Check pins

[ornate zinc]

oh lord

[vernal junco]

Bro that makes sense

[quiet kraken]

how much does uchicago defer

[onyx sedge]

Not sure

[gentle maple]

honestly uchi numbers are very hidden

[onyx sedge]

Did y'all apply EA?

[quiet kraken]

yup

[onyx sedge]

You should fill out the poll

[warped river]

can everyone who clicked EA just really nicely click the withdraw button please ??? 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[onyx sedge]

HAHAHA

[daring steeple]

Deadass though

[vocal eagle]

are any of yall applying to northwestern

[onyx sedge]

I may

If I get rejected

When*

[daring steeple]

Unsubmit if you can't commit

[daring steeple]

Same

[vocal eagle]

do yall know what the hardest school to get into at northwestern is

[onyx sedge]

It rhymes so you have to

[daring steeple]

But idk. NW is such a party school

[vocal eagle]

not that im letting that fuel my application but kinda

[alpine sun]

Northwestern, more like UChicago Evanston

[onyx sedge]

Their journalism one

[vocal eagle]

im thinking of being bold and applying to the engineering school

but idk if thats a bad idea

[daring steeple]

If I get in I want one of those new dorms

And a single or a roommate who's barely home

[alpine sun]

I want a chill roommate tbh

like i would prefer that over a single

[onyx sedge]

Me too

Good roommate is better than being lonely

[dusk holly]

why did u guys want red role its like admitting to snitching

[alpine sun]

powertripping

[daring steeple]

As an only child who's never had to share a room, having a roommate seems like the worst thing ever

[alpine sun]

ok but hear me out

if they're chill you could like play games and shit idk

also very easy way to make new friends

in college

[vocal eagle]

i need to have a single i think

[daring steeple]

True. I can be so awkward around people so it would be nice to have a buddy

[onyx sedge]

So I can ping important things in this channel

[daring steeple]

My ideal roommate would love black as much as me and have culture so I don't have to explain my immigrant behaviors haha

[alpine sun]

nice

I just want one that's clean so i dont go insane

[warped river]

my ideal roommate would just never come back to our room

[alpine sun]

and one that preferrably shares a sense of humor

[alpine sun]

be the change you want to see

[hollow badge]

me i ED

[vocal eagle]

dude wtf is wrong with people being so mean in this discord for no reason

i ask a simple question in another channel and people respond like im stupid

like okay dude

[hollow badge]

super competitive overachievers on edge

[vocal eagle]

i wish colleges could read people's character before they get in bc god damn

[hollow badge]

superiority complex for applying to t10s

[vocal eagle]

no reason to be a dick

[onyx sedge]

Which one?

[vocal eagle]

im just a whiney baby its that se guy in college talk

not a big deal its just like wtf

theres no reason to be rude when we're all scared lmfao

[onyx sedge]

Which channel?

[alpine sun]

Stress maybe

[vocal eagle]

in college talk

[onyx sedge]

Gotcha

[vocal eagle]

dont do anything about it its fine

[hollow badge]

oh yeah i saw

that’s rude as hell lol

[vocal eagle]

im just gonna stick to here from now on yall are nice lmfao

[onyx sedge]

Biscuit

Okay

That was like

OBVIOUSLY

[daring steeple]

i dont think he meant to be rude lol, and he apologized

[vocal eagle]

yeah i know i sent that before he apologized

so i appreciate the apology its just like wtf is with the sarcasm 😭

[daring steeple]

but its kinda common sense haha. engineering is competitive to get into anywhere tbh, and even more so at a t10

but nu has pretty mucuh equal acceptance rates across the schools

or so they say

[vocal eagle]

ive never ever considered applying to engineering and i dont know a whole lot about northwestern as a whole so i didnt really know

[onyx sedge]

I've heard otherwise, are you sure?

[vocal eagle]

i just know they have a super competitive theater program

[alpine sun]

Applicant pool is a lil different though

Northwestern journalism is very hard

[gentle maple]

depends on the person you get LMAO

[vocal eagle]

this is what i was trying to say in that chat haha

[daring steeple]

yes for sure

[gentle maple]

uchi>NW

[vocal eagle]

i was trying to ask like how popular of a major is engineering at northwestern because i had no idea if they were super stem focused or not

[alpine sun]

It is popular

[hollow badge]

their engineering is p good

[onyx sedge]

Very popular

[vocal eagle]

they environmental engineering program sounds awesome, i hadnt really considered enginerring bc i didnt think that was really a route i could take

but it sounds so great

[alpine sun]

Their engineering is popular but gets drowned out by more engineering focused unis from my experience

[daring steeple]

but u also have to consider that NU schools arent restrictive and ur able to double major across schools without much of an issue

[onyx sedge]

Also, they only offer a 5 year BS

I can get a 5 year MS at other places

[alpine sun]

Interesting

[vocal eagle]

wait what does this mean

[onyx sedge]

Bachelor of Science

[vocal eagle]

so you cant graduate in 4 years?

[onyx sedge]

Master of Science

[vocal eagle]

as an engineering student

[onyx sedge]

Nope

[hollow badge]

wait what

[vocal eagle]

thats nuts

[daring steeple]

graduating in four years is rarely the norm unless u take classes during the summer to stay up

[onyx sedge]

They run a 5 year program where internships are what you do for each fall quarter and they implement the internships stuff into the curriculum

[daring steeple]

the typical college student takes roughly 4.5-6 years to graduate with their bachelor's degree. doubling majoring, minors, etc can also conflict with that

[vocal eagle]

im hoping my creds filling in electives will help me lol

[onyx sedge]

It's cool, and ensures you get good work experience, but also takes longer while I could be getting my masters

[hollow badge]

i don’t think NU accepts DE credits either

unless u petition

[alpine sun]

They make students intern at chicago businesses

Its interesting

[vocal eagle]

id definitely petition bc fuck not being able to take at least a few of my 60 hours LMAO

but itd be fine if i couldnt

i want a full college experience

[onyx sedge]

I'm conflicted about AP, IB and DE credits

It's nice to have them, but at the same time I want the full college experience of learning all about the humanities and stuff

[vocal eagle]

i appreciated DE a lot

most of my professors were super cool

except my macroecon prof

[onyx sedge]

DE is the best

[daring steeple]

Literally not taking any AP tests this year for this reason alone

[onyx sedge]

I'm contemplating it

I already paid for them though

Might have to pay my parents back

[alpine sun]

Whats de

[vocal eagle]

dual enrollment

[onyx sedge]

Dual enrollment

[alpine sun]

Ohh

[onyx sedge]

Yea

No, it's dielectric exclusion

Lowkey

[vocal eagle]

am i allowed to talk about other college's decisions in here

not for myself

but like in general

[onyx sedge]

Sure

[vocal eagle]

did u guys see how low yales acceptance was

thats nuts

and harvard but like

yales cooler

[onyx sedge]

What was Yales?

[daring steeple]

How low?

[quiet kraken]

yale’s was 10

[vocal eagle]

they accepted 776 out of 7777 applicants is what i read

[onyx sedge]

Holy shit

[daring steeple]

Bro ☠️

[onyx sedge]

That's such a cool set of numbers

[quiet kraken]

thats really high for an ivy early though 😭

[daring steeple]

That’s wild

[vocal eagle]

i know someone was saying they shouldve accepted 1 more for 777/7777

[onyx sedge]

10% for ivy early is not that high

[quiet kraken]

they really couldnt have taken one more huh

[vocal eagle]

yuppp LMAO

[onyx sedge]

Why didn't they just do one more

So close

[daring steeple]

Maybe they didn’t want to upset all the religious people

777 is a holy number I believe

[onyx sedge]

Oh

Dair

[daring steeple]

But also knowing Yale they did it for the power trip

[onyx sedge]

Lol valid

[warped river]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRZ3cZM2IoY
