UChicago (2022-2023)

[onyx sedge]

So yes, most people in the middle class get aid

[mild rose]

not upper mid though

[onyx sedge]

They guarantee full ride to anyone less than 75,000

[lilac bridge]

damn i sure hope so cus my efc says a lot but also we had no income in 2022 so !

[frigid galleon]

this thread recently has been pretty chaotic

[gentle maple]

Alright I used the wrong terminology when referring to middle class, that’s my bad

[lilac bridge]

paying for college is going to be a nightmare no matter where i go

[dusk holly]

uchicago sent a mail to fee waiver ppl saying that if ur fam income less than 65k u get in free

[frigid galleon]

won't be on until later when there are less people speaking at once

bye guys!!

[dusk holly]

and if ur fg then u get 5k a year

[onyx sedge]

My family is near the bottom of upper-middle class, and I'm getting a good amount of aid. It really depends on assets and bad expenses

[vocal eagle]

If you make less than 120k tuition is guaranteed as well

[dusk holly]

bye paracat I hope you have a nice day!

[frigid galleon]

thomas why do you want me to stay so bad

[broken mason]

Yeah liek idk where all this 0 aid ass comments are talking about

[frigid galleon]

you too xoxo

[lilac bridge]

para we love you

[broken mason]

Bye para

[onyx sedge]

Fuck you para

[gentle maple]

This is the type of chicago discussion

[frigid galleon]

love you too no hetero

[frigid galleon]

do it yourself you fucking coward

[gentle maple]

Uchicago discussion right here

[vocal eagle]

Move top 20 give fantastic aid to lower income American students because they want you to go if you’re qualified

[onyx sedge]

Well, I was gonna ask if you were available tonight

[frigid galleon]

o

oh

yeah sure wanna meet outside the denny's

[gentle maple]

Woh

[onyx sedge]

Yea

Please

[frigid galleon]

you're 6'+ right

[broken mason]

UChicago has a huge endowment

They are generous with aid

[vocal eagle]

Not to have a complaining moment but

[frigid galleon]

top or bottom

[gentle maple]

This is what I don’t get

[vocal eagle]

One thing that bothers me about a2c is the amount of privilege denial I see lol

[frigid galleon]

i'm so privileged 💔 my EFC is 0 💔💔 my AGI is 20k 💔💔💔

[broken mason]

Elaborate but yes

I agree

[gentle maple]

If your family is earning 120k a year and tuition and all boarding fees is 80k a year, how are they realistically supposed to pay

[lilac bridge]

elaborate

[gentle maple]

Especially with several children

[frigid galleon]

predatory lending companeis baby

[broken mason]

The cost of college is just too high nowadays

[frigid galleon]

oki baiiiii :3

[lilac bridge]

the thing is, i genuinely don't know how college is going to pan out for me

[frigid galleon]

have fun with your discussion

[gentle maple]

Chicagos tuition alone is 65k

[onyx sedge]

I'm a switch

[gentle maple]

No room and board

[vocal eagle]

I understand everyone has their own issues and I’m not trying to be down on anyone but I hate reading about people who were given all these amazing opportunities and never had to worry about shit like food on the table or transportation after school and shit like that and they act all woe is me for the smallest things, in a sense bragging about their accomplishments and denying it if that makes sense

[frigid galleon]

ahh okay

[onyx sedge]

6'+ and 6"+ 😉

[vocal eagle]

Sorry my hands are cold I’m not explaining well

[broken mason]

My parents have a combined middle of the upper middle class salary, and if we were to pay the full tuition, we literally could not afford it

[frigid galleon]

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED

I am on my way to your location rn

[onyx sedge]

HAHAHA

I'll dm my addy

[vocal eagle]

ESPECIALLY the white ppl who comment racist shit about wishing they were a different race so they could get into school

[frigid galleon]

🥺

[broken mason]

I get Whatchu mean

I’m sorry if I’m guilty of it

[frigid galleon]

if we get into uchicago i will find you and take you for milkshakes

[vocal eagle]

It’s like sorry Andrew your 400k income family provided you with yearly ski trips to the alps and youre equating someones race as the criteria that got them into school when they had to work 10x harder than you to accomplish things

Sorry I’m ranting

It just pisses me off

[broken mason]

your fine it’s okay I be mad as hell sometimes too

[frigid galleon]

guys should i make instant coffee

[vocal eagle]

I don’t think you are

[onyx sedge]

Can't wait

[alpine sun]

ONG

[broken mason]

The single pet peeve I have is just people discounting my hard work because I’m an athlete

[vocal eagle]

You wouldn’t be going to uchicago if you were stupid lol

[gentle maple]

NAH BRO PEOPLE NEVER RESPECT THE WORK ATHLETES PUT IN

[vocal eagle]

Just because uchicago likes athletes doesn’t mean you didn’t work your ass off

[lilac bridge]

because unfortunately i have a high-ish EFC, but that's based on 2021, and we had no income at all in 2022, so i'm just really worried that even if i get in somewhere i'm gonna be unable to go

[lilac bridge]

ok student athletes work so damn hard like

i could never and i have so much respect for them

[broken mason]

I put 3 hours a day last year of running myself into the ground for track and came home and did homework till about 2-3 Am each night to get where I’m at.

I sound mad privileged rn

[vocal eagle]

If you can provide 2022 tax info when your parents file it this upcoming spring it might help your case

[gentle maple]

You a sprinter or long distance

[vocal eagle]

You don’t don’t worry

[broken mason]

But like I really did work hard for this and people usually just assume I’m talented

[broken mason]

I’m a sprinter

[lilac bridge]

yeah i will look into that bc even if i get into uchi, idk how i'm gonna afford it

[gentle maple]

100 time?

[broken mason]

I run quarter mile

400m

[lilac bridge]

you don't

[daring steeple]

fr like ???

[vocal eagle]

I used to run the 4x100

[broken mason]

YOOO

Heat of all time 🔥

[gentle maple]

Lol

[vocal eagle]

I was the first leg of the race

Haha

[broken mason]

Yooo that start 😮‍💨

[lilac bridge]

really really proud of you bc that sounds like a lot

[broken mason]

Thank you guys it really means a lot

[lilac bridge]

this pisses me off too

[broken mason]

There’s a reason why AA discussion is banned lol it never leads to any damn productive discussion

[onyx sedge]

Bro, wtf. That is insane. You are a champ

[broken mason]

people who support AA and people who don’t will never see eye to eye

[vocal eagle]

Oh my bad am I not supposed to be talking about that

[broken mason]

Technically yeah but you’re fine

[vocal eagle]

What does AA stand for sorry

[broken mason]

I’m not talking about you

[gentle maple]

Wait what really?!

[broken mason]

Cus I agree with you

[gentle maple]

Affirmative

Action

[broken mason]

whoops

[vocal eagle]

Oh okay

[broken mason]

Automodded

😭

[lilac bridge]

like i feel exhausted after school and i just do speech or work, i can't imagine actually doing a fuck ton of physical exertion and then coming back to do hw. you're awesome and a champion and i'm really fucking proud of you

[gentle maple]

Can’t type both words in a single message

[broken mason]

Bruh I’m bouta cry y’all too nice tf 🤣 😭

[vocal eagle]

Ramen I get off of my 6 hour shift and sit in bed and eat chips and I feel tired

There’s a reason i quit sports

You’re a real one

[broken mason]

Real talk work is ass I feel bad for anyone who needs to work to support their family

while balancing school

like that shit sounds like piss hell

They deserve a lot for their efforts

[vocal eagle]

Yeah I read so much shit about how you’re not supposed to add work as your EC because it’s not impressive or something but like

[broken mason]

Which is why I think college admissions advantages should be income based

[daring steeple]

i stopped cross country after sophomore year because i decided I didn't need that stress in my life

[vocal eagle]

I worked since I was 15

Full time lol

[alpine sun]

income is the single biggest factor imo

[broken mason]

Agreed

Let’s not tread further

[alpine sun]

ye

[broken mason]

I don’t want a mod to get in here

And we are then all banned

[lilac bridge]

yeah i work after school too

[alpine sun]

💀 yeah lol

[lilac bridge]

fav part abt uchicago

[broken mason]

Wtf

[broken mason]

Champion

[vocal eagle]

I ranked my hospital job as my #1 EC

I hope they find that impressive

[broken mason]

I picked up a summer job as a dishwasher and that work is so hard I wanna fucking cry after every single shift

[lilac bridge]

giving u a hug rn bc you're so impressive & strong

[broken mason]

it’s so disgusting too digging food out of drainage places

[vocal eagle]

This is so nice of you to say thank you )):

[lilac bridge]

i just teach little kids after school cus i work at a tuition center

[vocal eagle]

Dude when I worked at Starbucks I was digging fruit out of the drains YUCK

[lilac bridge]

YUCK

[broken mason]

Jobs are hard I thought that shit was gonna be slight it was not slight

[vocal eagle]

That’s awesome awww

[broken mason]

anyone who works a job during the school year has my respect especially if it’s to support a family

[broken mason]

YOO little kids

[broken mason]

Cuh facts

And if there is one piece of hair in there

I’m throwing up on the spot

[gentle maple]

@mild rose Avery from our program got into dartyyy

[broken mason]

That shit was the most nasty of ever

Like when I was studying for UNC finals I literally scheduled myself as unavailable cus that’s not something I can add to my life while I’m stressing

The pay wasn’t even that good

Enough nasty dishwasher talk

[mild rose]

wtf damn

[broken mason]

Ouch my homeboy got rejected from Nw

[gentle maple]

Crazyyyy

[lilac bridge]

nw is brutal this year

[gentle maple]

Some kid in my lab got into jhu

[mild rose]

woah

cornell weil pipeline

👀

[gentle maple]

Fr lol

[lilac bridge]

wait i'm gen curious, anyone have the stats for EA

[gentle maple]

Better be us

[broken mason]

I can’t even cap y’all once decisions are out I’m heading out of A2C

[gentle maple]

👀👀

[lilac bridge]

like amt of people accepted

[broken mason]

I just popped into a couple threads for colleges

To check how things s were going

[gentle maple]

If I get in I’ll stay maybe lol

[broken mason]

It’s so pretentious in there

[gentle maple]

LOL

[lilac bridge]

i'm sticking around until RD decisions cus it looks like im gonna have to fight in that, then i'll prob head out

[mild rose]

my friends who got into penn are already in the penn '27 server and im so jealoussss

i wanna be in my colleges server

[broken mason]

UChicago ‘27 server for you soon tm

I don’t think it exists tho

[mild rose]

🙏

[lilac bridge]

fr

[mild rose]

prob will after ed

[broken mason]

Perhaps

[mild rose]

i already scouted out the insta page theres like 3 posts

[lilac bridge]

does uchi defer a lot for EA

[mild rose]

yes

[lilac bridge]

damn

sometimes i wonder if i shouldve applied to uchicago ED

[mild rose]

nah its not worth it

be confident in ur choices

hindsight is 2020

[vocal eagle]

Just ED 2 if you get deferred and you really wanna go

[lilac bridge]

true true

[vocal eagle]

Ed2 rates are similar

[lilac bridge]

yeah i'll ED2 if i'm deferred, nowhere else to ED2

[vocal eagle]

When do ed2 decisions come out?

[lilac bridge]

would've ED2 barnard but they don't have it

[broken mason]

Like a trillion years

[lilac bridge]

i have no idea but best guess is mid feb

[broken mason]

February I think

[vocal eagle]

At least it’s not April 1st bruh

[lilac bridge]

assuming they keep the ED timeline

bruh imagine doing ED2 just to find out on april 1

[vocal eagle]

I’d be pissed

[mild rose]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/ecm0zt/a_note_about_uchicago_ea/

this may or may not be true

[broken mason]

Let’s not really look into stuff like that

It’s not gonna change the decisions and it’s just gonna make the EA people feel crappy

[mild rose]

ikik i just passed by it so i shared

[lilac bridge]

i'm like confused on what they mean abt ED2

[broken mason]

a lot of people have said they wish they applied ED and I don’t wanna worsen that regret

[lilac bridge]

like are your odds of ED2 worse

[mild rose]

but its no secret that ea is a lot of defers

dont mislead

[mild rose]

no

[lilac bridge]

yeah EA is always defers

[broken mason]

Unfortunately yes

[mild rose]

its the same

[daring steeple]

id i ger deferred ill ed2

[lilac bridge]

i'm prob getting rejected but a defer would be nice

road to penn tho

[daring steeple]

same

[mild rose]

well maybe same isnt accurate

but id say if u would make ed1 u'd probably make ed2

[lilac bridge]

i do not think i'd make ed1

[mild rose]

none of us are ao's so not point worrying about it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

5 days

[onyx sedge]

I don't think anyone here is at threat of getting banned

[broken mason]

Man imma just play video games cus all this college talk is making my brain overheat and stressing me out

[lilac bridge]

i'll grind supps

by the time i blink, it'll be wed

[onyx sedge]

I feel that. What games do you play?

[gentle maple]

Wow that article

[gentle maple]

Legacy matters more for Ed 💀

Especially chicag

[mild rose]

yea hwhich is weird

[warped river]

i hate legacy sm

[broken mason]

I didn’t think UChicago was a big one for legacy

That’s interesting

[warped river]

fr

[mild rose]

that works against me

[broken mason]

And ass

[mild rose]

):

[warped river]

but it makes sense since theyre all ab yield

[broken mason]

I see that essay # went up

[gentle maple]

JUST PLAY SOJOURN

[mild rose]

legacy = $$$

[broken mason]

Good work soldier

[broken mason]

Nah bro I love mccree

He’s so cool

[gentle maple]

He’s so ass tho

[broken mason]

I’m straight as a rod but for mccree I kinda gray

[gentle maple]

Ana is able to 3 shot him now

[broken mason]

he’s ass but at the level I play(gold5 ☠️) you can get away with any character

[gentle maple]

True that

Bastion mains running wil

[broken mason]

Ana’s in gold are at the level where they miss sleeps

so like

We’re chilling

[gentle maple]

I’m around that level lol

Gold 2

[mild rose]

[gentle maple]

L L L

[broken mason]

The issue I have with mccree is skill issue ☠️

[gentle maple]

Haven’t played much since the the new season still

[broken mason]

I always hit 2 shots and then can’t hit the third

[gentle maple]

[vocal eagle]

I almost just partial face revealed to show y’all my new hat

But I can’t show y’all the face of someone who might get rejected

Mortifying

[vernal junco]

[broken mason]

I been trying not to doxx myself at all costs

I was so scared to reveal my height for a while

[gentle maple]

This guy

[radiant hawk]

because of para

[vernal junco]

para is the antagonist

[vocal eagle]

I got my ig doxxed on instagram

Wait

[onyx sedge]

Oh sweet, we should play something together sometime

[broken mason]

[broken mason]

yeah unfortunately I remmeber it

its biscuit

[vocal eagle]

I wish uchicago would update the portal

[broken mason]

id probably have a heart attack if I saw anything different when I make my dialy rounds checking the portal

[vernal junco]

probably would turn into a ghost by that point temporarily

[vernal junco]

anyone else up for mc over the break or someth like skribbl?

[onyx sedge]

YES

[vernal junco]

maybe jackbox even since I have that

[onyx sedge]

I'm so down

[radiant hawk]

yea

only the first

[radiant hawk]

no shot at this college

[onyx sedge]

I am not getting in

Calling it rn

[vocal eagle]

Don’t doxx me ahaha

[onyx sedge]

Doxx them!

[daring steeple]

Wisdom teeth give zero advice, just pain

[radiant hawk]

i want to stay on a2c for a long time 💀

[mental rivet]

I've been working on the essay for so long...

[radiant hawk]

arent you a junior

💀

[mental rivet]

I'm graduating early

That has caused lots of confusion in this server, I might just change it to senior 😅

[radiant hawk]

you should

[mental rivet]

You're right

But yes, I'm currently applying

[radiant hawk]

even para has it as senior

[mental rivet]

Huh?

[radiant hawk]

EA?

[mental rivet]

No I'm pretty sure I'll do EDII but my family is against it

[radiant hawk]

ouch

[mental rivet]

So I might do it behind their backs

Then again I've applied to so many more schools so maybe RD

[warped river]

same

[mental rivet]

Well I have the "nontraditional" role so hopefully that helps

[radiant hawk]

damn

[mental rivet]

Gotta do what you gotta do, eh?

[radiant hawk]

if i get deferred im staying in this channel for ed2 😤

if i get rejected, sayonara to this channel

[warped river]

[onyx sedge]

But yea, late afternoon next Wednesday

[vocal eagle]

I wonder if I’ll get deferred ED

[warped river]

which is going to hurt cause my uncommon essay was so fun to write

[radiant hawk]

btw

uchicago decision date for ed2 is mid february

im calling 02/20

[warped river]

LMFAO FR

[mental rivet]

Why?

[warped river]

"mid" February

[radiant hawk]

palindrome

[mental rivet]

Ahhhhh, clever

It's like MIT coming out on 12/17 at 12:17 😆

[mild rose]

they gave me percs after they removed mine

💀

[radiant hawk]

uchicago says "late afternoon"

[warped river]

def 12:21

[radiant hawk]

[radiant hawk]

[warped river]

LMFAOO TRUEE

i love enjoying life knowing im going to be rejected by my favorite t10

[radiant hawk]

its like a slow poison

watching everyone around me get deferred and rejected

while i await

my impending doom

[teal mauve]

Squid game

[radiant hawk]

as time marches inevitably to doom

[radiant hawk]

💀

[teal mauve]

You are a contestant admitted students are circle workers AOs are triangle workers $100 million dollar alumni donors are square workers

[radiant hawk]

literally a2c

[onyx sedge]

Lol

[vocal eagle]

Last year some people got theirs around 4:30 central I believe

[onyx sedge]

THATS IN THE MIDDLE OF MY MEETING

FUCK

[radiant hawk]

you will be happy during the meeting

and be sad/happy afterwards

[brazen comet]

How many B's do you gus have on your transcript

[onyx sedge]

Atleast 3

[brazen comet]

i have 5 B+'s i'm skrewed

[radiant hawk]

0

doubt it

[onyx sedge]

You're not screwed

[radiant hawk]

people with Bs get in a lot

[brazen comet]

that's over 3 years tho

[radiant hawk]

especially if ya got ECs

[onyx sedge]

Especially if they were during your freshman/sophomore years

[brazen comet]

half a million dollar company

[radiant hawk]

I got no EC's so im probably worse off

[brazen comet]

most of them yeah

[onyx sedge]

Exactly

You'll be fine

They like to see grade improvement

[brazen comet]

my course rigor is insane tho

Right now:
Linear Algebra, Multivariable Calc, Differential Equations, AP Stats, AP Psych, AP Physics C: Mech, AP Physics C, E&M, AP French, AP Lit, AP Psych

[radiant hawk]

damnn

[brazen comet]

that's good enough right

[vernal junco]

damn

yeah you popped off jesus

[brazen comet]

cuz apparently uchicago cares about that

on the CDS

[vernal junco]

I wish our school taught APs earlier

[brazen comet]

more than GPA

[radiant hawk]

yea

[warped river]

if they do i am set then 😭

[vernal junco]

I'm not sure if I'm fucked or not then

my school only allows 6 APs and I took 4 since we have prereqs

hopefully since they send that info to uchicago I'll be fine

[radiant hawk]

ull be fine

[onyx sedge]

I couldn't take as many APs because of my band class, Chinese class, and prerequisites

[daring steeple]

btw, random question, but about like 1-2 days out from the decision, could everyone say whether or not their "withdraw application" button is still there, I want to see something

[onyx sedge]

Sure

[radiant hawk]

portal astrology

but sure

[onyx sedge]

I'm down for a little bit of data collection

And speculation

[radiant hawk]

"speculation:

[daring steeple]

yeah nothing really serious

just saw a ton of people online claiming stuff with it so

[radiant hawk]

next year they are gonna call it "experimentation"

[onyx sedge]

I want to discount their claims

Let's prove to them that portal astrology is BS

[daring steeple]

agreed

[safe wagon]

I got rejected from penn but I still barely slept

College app season is truly brutal

[quiet kraken]

mine doesn’t let us take any until junior yr 💀

[mental rivet]

Bro what the...

[vernal junco]

mine neither lol

and we have a cap of 3 per year

[mental rivet]

I've had so many scheduling conflicts with APs

And my school teaches like none of them

[daring steeple]

same

my school also limits to 3 aps per year

and only 1 was available freshman & sophomore year

at least admissions takes all of this into account though

[mental rivet]

I've only taken like 5...

[daring steeple]

same, i'm taking 3 this year but only took 2 so far

[mental rivet]

Graduating a year early and being a student at a local college simultaneously doesn't help

[alpine sun]

whats the claim

withdrawal breaks if you get chosen?

[daring steeple]

yeah, apparently it disappears if you're accepted/rejected

[warped river]

wait i don’t get it

so like it’s gone or ??

[daring steeple]

yeah gone

idk how true that is though, which is why i wanted to see

[warped river]

is yours there

[alpine sun]

[daring steeple]

no

[warped river]

[alpine sun]

[gentle maple]

[alpine sun]

I refuse to beleive stanford kids are human beings

i have never seen one

they cannot be real

[warped river]

OMG

[gentle maple]

Like super stupid

[alpine sun]

💀

[daring steeple]

the one person who applied at my school hasn't spoken yet-

[gentle maple]

But his essays and ECs carried him

Bro this kid

[daring steeple]

[alpine sun]

[gentle maple]

[gentle maple]

How does this kid get in

[alpine sun]

[warped river]

i’d be terrified if my school had that

[warped river]

fr that’s crazy

[gentle maple]

He asks the dumbest questions in class I swear

[warped river]

proud of them tbh

[gentle maple]

But this kid is so genuinely nice and hardworking so we all feel amazing for him

[daring steeple]

i see more rejections than acceptances by my name, long jumping off the nearest building ☮️

[gentle maple]

Be we are shocked

[alpine sun]

💀

[gentle maple]

This kid

[alpine sun]

id say maybe ever 2 to 3% easier

[radiant hawk]

BRO HE GOT INTO PLENTY

[alpine sun]

what?

oh yeah i was just helping someone

I dont think it means much personally

[gentle maple]

Yes he ended Ip going to MIT

[radiant hawk]

bro 💀

i would take every rejection for an mit acceptance

[warped river]

fr

[alpine sun]

MIT means actualy working tho

i would take a midvard acceptance tbh

💀

just coast into a cushy job

[warped river]

i’m so curious for mit earlies tmr

like i wonder if an irl will get in

[alpine sun]

so

i might know a few

[warped river]

WHAT

[alpine sun]

stem magnet

[warped river]

i don’t think my city’s ever sent like more than 2 in the past decades

[warped river]

ohhh

still crazy

[quiet kraken]

my school sends maybe one a year 💀

its only ever been math club presidents from here

i think 5 out of the last 12 ish

we have like 1 mit 2-3 stanford 2-3 ivies and 30 uc berkeley 20 ucla out of 600

[vernal junco]

I remember a dude last year going to my school who got a full ride to harvard alongside 200k extra just because

although I think it's because he was going into the military after or something

[warped river]

damnn

[radiant hawk]

my school sent one last year for water polo

[warped river]

wednesday needs to hurry up 😭 i just want to know so bad

[radiant hawk]

fr

[warped river]

ppl getting into top schools is lowk stressing me out sm

the pressure is insane

[radiant hawk]

whats the easiest ivy to start applying to

[warped river]

penn doesn’t have too many essays but brown’s essays are more fun imo

yale and princeton have boring essays

idk ab the rest

[radiant hawk]

thought brown is mid for cs

[warped river]

probably might be idk

but it’s an ivy so idk

[quiet kraken]

harvard has the least supps

[radiant hawk]

time to prestige whore

[warped river]

are u guys applying to a lot of ivies?

[radiant hawk]

probably hyp

maybe not sm

[vernal junco]

I'm probably not applying to any

[radiant hawk]

actually not y either

[vernal junco]

I might tho

[quiet kraken]

all but dartmouth and brown

[vernal junco]

I wonder if I should apply to harvard...but I prob have no chance

[warped river]

im applying to only brown, princeton, yale, and upenn probably

[quiet kraken]

not gonna apply cs to any of the ivies though 😭

at least not straight cs

[radiant hawk]

harvard, princeton, cornell, columbia

[vernal junco]

idk which ones I would apply to

[warped river]

chance me said i had a shot at upenn ED but i chickened out so i’m hoping for a waitlist there to wharton but i doubt it

[vernal junco]

I know almost nothing about the ivies other than harvard

[radiant hawk]

didnt know all the ivies ranked higher than uchicago in cs

damn 💀

[broken mason]

@quiet kraken whats harvards supps

[broken mason]

☠️ uchicagos cs program is pretty ehh tbh

[warped river]

uchicago > everything else

LMAOO

[radiant hawk]

uchicago math is goated though

[warped river]

fr

[vernal junco]

uchicago med is pretty good I think

not JHU level but it's good

[broken mason]

I'm prob gonna do cs + econ

[quiet kraken]

just like a 500 word essay on whatever you want

[radiant hawk]

want to do cs + math

[broken mason]

oh

me when I copy and paste uchicago prompt into it

Jk

[vernal junco]

I think JHU is probably the best premed school, although ig it's based on opinion

[quiet kraken]

actually not even 500 i think there’s no explicit word limit

so i might just do like my original common app 😭

[lilac bridge]

what if i do that for fun

[radiant hawk]

you wouldnt even apply 💀

[vernal junco]

although I have more of a chance at uchicago than JHU I feel since Uchicago has less competition for premeds than JHU would

[mild rose]

well ur schools like the best in the region so yeaaa

makes sene

sense

[vernal junco]

What day are you guys down to do someth like jackbox or skribbl?

[broken mason]

Morning of the 21st ☠️

[vernal junco]

lmao

[lilac bridge]

same tbh 💀

[vernal junco]

gonna be playing up until the decision 💀

[radiant hawk]

i agree

we will all be in a little vc

counting down our dayus

i mean hours

[warped river]

that would be so fun 😭

[radiant hawk]

the ring of fate

[vernal junco]

whoever wins jackbox wins the acceptances

[radiant hawk]

who has jackbox

[vernal junco]

I got it

gotta fix my connection since it goes out for some reason every couple of minutes but if I fix that we'd be fine to play

[radiant hawk]

aaa

[warped river]

LMFAOO

i wish u the best of luck with that 💀

[alpine sun]

wait

is it against server tos

to make a small gc

for like calling during decisions

💀

[vernal junco]

I don't think it would be lmao

this server doesn't have a "ToS"

If you mean it would break the rules, the rules are only against unsolicited ads, not making group chats that people want

[broken mason]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-hello-moderator-discord-discord-mod-moderator-gif-26159482

[warped river]

lol idk if i could handle doing a call during decisions 💀 imagine if everyone gets accepted and then theres me like "unfortunately we are unable to offer you admission"

[warped river]

yeah someone @ para or trex LOL

[vernal junco]

yeah I don't think it would be a good idea to do it anyways

[warped river]

but we should do a fun game thing before

or smth

[vernal junco]

definitely, we can probably do jackbox or skribbl, or anything anyoen else wants

[warped river]

for sure

[vernal junco]

it would be fun to do

[warped river]

yeah a mini destress

ngl you guys are the only ppl i interact w on this server basically LOL

[vernal junco]

wish it wasn't just mini lmao

[warped river]

fr

the big destress is after 12/21

if we get in

[vernal junco]

ye honestly imo it's more chill in this channel than #🛩-lounge-chat since there aren't people talking 24/7

[warped river]

agreed

i wonder if we're going to pass cornell in messages now

[lilac bridge]

we should just play beforehand

[warped river]

yeah agreed

[lilac bridge]

play jackbox or smth to keep our minds off it

then split up for decisions and then console / celebrate one another

[warped river]

i wonder if we'll know when exactly the decisions will be out

yeah agreed

[vernal junco]

I don't think exactly the day of the decisions is a good idea but we can prob do this weekend or early next week

esp to pass the time between now and decisions

[warped river]

yeah maybe even on tuesday to curb the anticipation

[gentle maple]

Lol

[broken mason]

that shit better not be rolling

Imma be so pissed if we're all in VC and people start getting theirs and I don't

[alpine sun]

if yall make a gc for games add me

[gentle maple]

LMAO

[warped river]

same LOL

im praying for an acceptance atp just bc i dont want to write more supps 😭

[brazen comet]

EA?

[warped river]

yeah

[brazen comet]

did you ED?

[warped river]

i did ea to uchicago, but if i magically got in, i'd be able to cut off williams, pomona, etc from my list

and ofc a bunch of targets/safeties

[brazen comet]

oh

[warped river]

not expecting much tho

wait did u do ed?

[vernal junco]

should we do a gc or just do it in this server's vc?

[dusk holly]

why is this released

[lilac bridge]

if i get in, my schools drop in half

honestly same

[vernal junco]

ye, you just gotta build out all your avenues so if by some chance the worst route comes out, you'll still come out well enough

[lilac bridge]

i mean. i'd be disappointed if i got rejected just cus it's more work now and i do like uchi, but it's a sign i'm not a good fit so

[warped river]

yeah exactly

[vernal junco]

it just means I got rejected from a less good university to go to a better university

[brazen comet]

Lol

[vocal eagle]

I would love this

Please ping me when you guys wanna do it haha

[radiant hawk]

fr

[gray geyser]

ping me for jackbox too!!

[vernal junco]

@vocal eagle @gray geyser, @radiant hawk and anyone else, just react to this message if you want to since I want to make sure I get everyone lol

would be annoying to sort through a ton of messages to look for who to add, and I don't want to leave anyone

[dusk holly]

what up?

[onyx sedge]

@vernal junco add me

[dusk holly]

whats it for

im confused

[onyx sedge]

Games

[vernal junco]

[onyx sedge]

Add me, but I won't join tonight, maybe another night

[vernal junco]

ye not tonight, probably another night tho

[dusk holly]

ye same

well this is obv larger than a gc

not sure how its gonna work

[onyx sedge]

I can make a small server

[vernal junco]

alright sounds good

[gentle maple]

school just does it for more info for people

we tryna do this before or after the decisions LMAO

ive submitted 11 apps so far but if i dont get in, ill have to finish like 11 more

[onyx sedge]

I'm waiting until the decision to do anything

[gentle maple]

badd

[warped river]

same like i’ve written essays but i’m waiting until uchicago decision to submit them

[onyx sedge]

Actually, I'll start my HMC ones this weekend

Maybe my UW Madison one too

[lilac bridge]

meanwhile i'm writing no matter what

trying to finish upenn drafts tonight 😭

[onyx sedge]

Good luck, lmk if you need some consulting

[radiant hawk]

did my uw madison one early 😤

[gentle maple]

WHY CANT IT COME ANY EARLIER

GRRRRRRR

[brazen comet]

wharton?

[onyx sedge]

Was supposed to, but because I don't actually want to go there so I couldn't get myself to write the Why UW essay

[warped river]

mood tbh

[onyx sedge]

Hoping I get into CWRU so I don't have to submit more than one application

[lilac bridge]

nah, CAS

i'm going after the PPE major

[onyx sedge]

So true

It's still so much money

[gentle maple]

LLOLL

just submit them all as soon as you get word from chicago

just prepare them all tho

[vernal junco]

Damn you going for case as well?

That's my ed2

[onyx sedge]

If I don't get in, I will actually kms

It is a close #2

Literally going to be so upset if I don't get you

You don't understand

[radiant hawk]

$70 is so much

literally just a piece of paper

💀

i dont spend money on anything except electronics and some other stuff ig

[vernal junco]

I mainly spend money on gas

[radiant hawk]

doordash is wild though since thats just a service 💀

[gray geyser]

gas and food for me

[vernal junco]

Fr at that point needs to learn how to cook and drive

[radiant hawk]

i just take the bus 🤪

[vernal junco]

Much more time efficient and money efficient for better outcome

[gray geyser]

i drive myself 🫡

[radiant hawk]

no car but its whatev

[warped river]

if colleges can give you icks, i just got an ick from uchicago 💀 it's nothing big but the concept of living off campus somehow makes me okay if i dont get in anymore LOLL

[gentle maple]

Huhuhuh

[warped river]

idk i just saw a video of someone trying to find an offcampus apartment and then i realized i would have to be doing that if i got in as compared to living w my parents and commuting or living 4 years on campus

idk why it's such a new realization lmfao. i was completely aware of this when i applied 💀

[broken mason]

what the hell

my most legendary number is probably

Hmm

thats a good question

I mean i have bad spending habits but they aren't THAAT bad

like uhh

there were a couple months were I spent like 3-4 dollars a day on food at target

for 2 months

3602

wtf

3 times 60 times 2

there we go

so 360 in 2 months

which isn't that egregious

[vernal junco]

You'd have to do that junior year yeah

Although freshman and sophomore year you are required to stay on campus

[broken mason]

does uchicago not have junior year dorms?

[vernal junco]

It does

It's just that first two years you have to stay in their dorms

So they suck another 40k out of you

[broken mason]

I feel like getting your own place is cool

but like

I'm not tryna get shot

you feel me?

[vernal junco]

Ye lmao

[broken mason]

but then again

thats a lot of money

[vernal junco]

Ye

[broken mason]

I honestly might risk getting shot if I could save like 10 granda year

[vernal junco]

I wonder how it compares to true rent in chicago

[lilac bridge]

damn i just remembered we gotta get our own housing

[vernal junco]

Since that's what, like 2222 dollars per month right?

[broken mason]

the thing is my family although we aren't poor, we still live very frugally and dont buy stuff unless we need to. Which really makes me feel bad about taking a chunk out of it for college

[lilac bridge]

thats. well.

[broken mason]

like my estimated aid is 40k

[vernal junco]

Not until junior year

[broken mason]

so I have to pay around 45 out of pocket

[warped river]

yeah same

[lilac bridge]

2 years of rent tho

that's gonna be expensive

[warped river]

but the whole uchicago rent concept was what also lowk made me not want to do ed

[vernal junco]

Ye, although I think uchicago room and board is more expensive

[warped river]

love the school but im a little paranoiac sometimes

yeah it def is

[broken mason]

I kinda get it tho

cus uchicago is in south side chicago

and uhh

yeah taht speaks for itself

[radiant hawk]

uchicago covers room and board if under 60k income

[warped river]

damnn

real wChicago

[broken mason]

damn

myu friend got rejected northwestern ED

when I called him he was taking it well he seemed fine

he had it planned out that he was gonna just ED2 swarthmore

but apparently bro hasn't left his room and skipped dinner

that kinda sucks

[radiant hawk]

💀

[vernal junco]

Damn

[radiant hawk]

this is about to be me tuesday

*wednesdya

[broken mason]

That sucks bruh

[brazen comet]

random question

how many people here drive to school

[broken mason]

[vernal junco]

I gotta avoid eating for a week to discipline myself to work harder to get into reaches lmao

[warped river]

[warped river]

[broken mason]

I hope he comes out to eat

[lilac bridge]

cus 2022 income is def under 60k 🤣 but i dont think 2021 is

[vernal junco]

Fr not gonna eat until next year lmao

[radiant hawk]

they will update every year

[lilac bridge]

thank god for that

[onyx sedge]

Yea, they ask for updated info each year

[broken mason]

im so hungry but theres 0 food in the house

im finna perish

[onyx sedge]

Be like @thorn ermine and spend $333/month on doordash lmfao

You're good, I'm just messing

[broken mason]

my dad would probably kill both me and the doordash driver for coming to the house so late

[onyx sedge]

As if you aren't already home

lol

[broken mason]

have you guys noticed something different about me today

[onyx sedge]

No

Did you eat a pinecone?

[broken mason]

maybe the absence of something?

...

[vocal eagle]

Y’all I’ve had gods plan stuck in my head all day that means I’m getting in

[onyx sedge]

Did you lose something?

[broken mason]

they say yeat you keep evolving, how you so steady with it

[broken mason]

YO FACTS

me except with money so big

by yeat

[onyx sedge]

Y'all my hands hurt from deadlifting yesterday

I accidentally got a blister...

[vocal eagle]

I need to start lifting ugh

I’m weak

[onyx sedge]

LMFAO

[vocal eagle]

I busted my ass ice skating so bad

[onyx sedge]

That's funny

I can help you start out with some workout routines

Me and @broken mason will help

[broken mason]

thats the whole reason I aint take my last date to the ice skating rink

[onyx sedge]

Ice rink dates are the best

wdym

When they fall on their ass you can pick them back up and be there to support them

[vocal eagle]

I taught my bae how to skate today

He looked like a deer on ice

[onyx sedge]

Lol

I love that

I did that with my ex awhile back

So funny

People that don't know how to skate are funny to watch on the ice

[vocal eagle]

I don’t wanna work tomorrow

Should I call out

[onyx sedge]

Depends on how much you've worked recently

[broken mason]

Not when you're the one who needs to be supported 😭

[broken mason]

yeah me and rex gothcu 🔥

[broken mason]

RIP

I benched again today

[onyx sedge]

Fair, guess I come from a place of privilege

[vocal eagle]

I need a gym membership but getting there during the winter is suchhhh a drag

[onyx sedge]

Don't start now, it's gonna get real bad right after the new year, so wait until like mid-late February to start

I mean, if you want to you can, but I know it can be rough to workout when the whole world decides they need to go to the gym and get fit after the new year

[vocal eagle]

You’re probably right tbh

I’ll probably just fix my diet until then because that’s the most important part

[onyx sedge]

Good start

I like to do some daily pushups too and that has helped me stay in shape a bunch during periods where I can't actually get into the gyj

[vocal eagle]

Good idea

[broken mason]

When I dont go to the gym I eat as much as I can so my msucles dont go away 😭

I benched 235 x 3 today 🔥

[vocal eagle]

Dayummm!!

[broken mason]

Yeah it was pretty heat I can't cap and then I tweaked my left boob and had to call it quits

[onyx sedge]

SHEEESH

[broken mason]

I just tried a popsicle with tajin it was gas as fuck

🔥

[onyx sedge]

Also, I was benching today and realized that the leg activation on the bench is almost like a hip thrust.

[broken mason]

yooo 🔥

my guy 🤝

[onyx sedge]

It's hard to explain... just think about pushing your back into the bench and using your legs and glutes to push your hips upward

[broken mason]

yeah I was unfortunately pretty much larsen pressing like usual

[onyx sedge]

You'll get there eventually

Do my instructions help?

[broken mason]

I wont even lie to you

I totally forgot about your instructions

but let me check it out in 2 days when I bench again 😭

🤣

[onyx sedge]

forgets again

lol

Hit estimated max of 260 on back squat today which was nice

Wasn't able to do the actual one rep max, just calculated it b/c we did our maxout day when I was sore as hell

[broken mason]

yoooooo

thats sick as hell

260 is a ton 🔥

[onyx sedge]

TECHINCALLY, it's just over a fourth of a ton

LMFAO

Yea, no

I haven't squatted in like 18 months, so that's huge

[broken mason]

Big shit man

[onyx sedge]

Still improved my max too lol

[broken mason]

I wanted to get to 500 by the end of high school but I don’t think that’s happening anymore

[onyx sedge]

You're at 405, right?

Start taking roids, and you got it

[broken mason]

My PR was like 3 months ago

I’ve decayed prob to 375

[lilac bridge]

im so tired

[onyx sedge]

Oh damn

[onyx sedge]

[broken mason]
