UChicago (2022-2023)

[warped river]

it’s dawning on me that decisions are coming omfg

[vocal eagle]

cj did u ea?

[warped river]

i should have put more effort towards everything god

[ocean mortar]

yes

[vocal eagle]

i took the hardest courses available for 4 years but idk if they can see that on my app

[vocal eagle]

i saw a lot of people get accepted ea from last years decision videos

hold onto hope :D

[ocean mortar]

manifesting

[vocal eagle]

LOL

immediate

[ocean mortar]

im just happy i also have a very likely acceptance coming the same day

so it won't be that bad

[vocal eagle]

ooh to where

[ocean mortar]

macalester!

LAC in the city babey

[vocal eagle]

omg what a pretty college

that's awesome

the campus is so nice

[ocean mortar]

i knowww and it's right in the middle of twin cities

[warped river]

NAH THATS SO FUNNY

[vocal eagle]

hahaha

[ocean mortar]

funny bc when i did the vibecheck A2C post a lot of people vibe-assigned me to macalester and i'd already EA'd there lol

and my reverse chanceme post also had ppl suggesting that

[vocal eagle]

are they gonna give you good aid?

[radiant hawk]

there is no hope

[warped river]

anyone remember or know what time decisions came out last year??

[vocal eagle]

i want to say 4:30 central but i could be talking about my ass i can't remember where i saw that

let me try to find an old college confidential thread

[ocean mortar]

yes my NPC for them was one of the best

WashU, Brown, and Macalester are the most affordable for me

[vocal eagle]

okay so

found a tweet from a couple years ago

they got their decision 5:30 central

[warped river]

ooo ok yay

gonna do a countdown for then

[ocean mortar]

central gang

[warped river]

that decision is either going to ruin my entire afternoon or make it the best wednesday ever

pst gang 😎😎

[vocal eagle]

if you get deferred are yall still gonna be happy with that decision or are you gonna reject the deferral

[warped river]

wow we have less than 2 whole days

i’d be dissapointed but i’d keep the deferral and hope i get accepted ngl

or however the process works

[strong shore]

regardless of my decision i WILL get sturdy at 5:30 cst

my coping mechanism

[vocal eagle]

join the call at 5:30 cst and get sturdy on cam

[strong shore]

on god i will

dude i cant even get sturdy 😭

i tried with my friends and they said i 'got flimsy'

i will try my best for the university of chicago ❤️

[vocal eagle]

LMAO

[ocean mortar]

the deferral % rate is so so so low but i think i'll still try

[vocal eagle]

if u get deferred u could move to ed2

[ocean mortar]

oooh

but idk, UChi would be quite expensive for me

for the first 2 yrs

i'll consider it

if i get flat out rejected i think im EDII-ing to WashU maybe

bc finances

and close 2 mom 🫶

[warped river]

yk what i hate almost as much as legacy? colleges screwing w applicants’ chances of getting in to protect stupid stats like yield rate and rankings. i get it’s important but damn you’re already highly ranked and have an amazing yield rate which would most likely still be the case regardless. i cannot explain it at all but idk it rly frustrates me esp when colleges aren’t transparent

this is also not uchicago specific or ab uchicago but uchicago decisions are making me overthink

[ocean mortar]

i think they enjoy having the power in the lottery of it all

as sad as that is

[warped river]

fr

[ocean mortar]

every app szn has people acting like they're looking for the golden ticket to willy wonka's chocolate factory

and they're willy wonka

it drives the hype further

ik a guy w a similar profile to me who got in RD so it's so random

[warped river]

yeah fr idk it makes me crazy sometimes thinking ab all the random things that could get be rejected or accepted that aren’t remotely in my control lol

[ocean mortar]

exactly but at least it helps me cope

it's frustrating but oftentimes it really is not a reflection of anyone's abilities

[alpine sun]

Honestly a deferral would be good for me

i got an insane positive trend

so hopping into ed2 would be decent

[alpine sun]

I heard washu was a rich person school

like average income 400k rich

[ocean mortar]

yeah that's my exact issue w/ it. like yeah, i can make friends w/ them, but ultimately there will be a disconnect. i currently go to a school where that's the case.

it's the only place i visited and the vibe was strange, like it felt too good to be true almost?

[alpine sun]

what do you mean by that

[ocean mortar]

everyone was very nice and everything is gorgeous and awesome but i was asking myself "is this really the best place for me"

i don't know because i haven't toured elsewhere

[alpine sun]

ohh

ok

[lilac bridge]

if i get flat out rejected i might not ed2 anywhere else

[alpine sun]

you might just not be used to the artificial face they put on during tours

My only gripe with washu is the city

[ocean mortar]

well i toured on my own w/ my mom before i decided to come back the next day and do a legit tour

[alpine sun]

st louis is not great

[ocean mortar]

yeah i've stayed there twice now

not a big fan

[lilac bridge]

if barnard offered it i would 100% ed2 there but they don't & i dont want to tie myself to any of the other ed2 schools on my list

[alpine sun]

is barnard the womens only college thats connected to columbia

[ocean mortar]

food is really good, shopping is decent, but there are very few things to do outside of the park/zoo/art museum... the area around washU is cool if you just want to drain money on records and boba every day. the movie theater there closed down and it's a church now

no football tho

[alpine sun]

records?

[ocean mortar]

and washU football is mid

vinyl records

they have a fantastic record store

[alpine sun]

do they have a decent selection of music/book stores and coffee shops?

thats honestly all im looking ofr tbh

💀

[ocean mortar]

not sure about books but definitely coffee

it's an area within walking distance of WashU, it's where the kids all go

tons of different cuisines there

it's called The Loop

[alpine sun]

oh dang it looks nice

might recycle my Chicago video for brown and washu

potentially

[ocean mortar]

it's everything down Delmar boulevard

washU has a video? nice

i like doing videos bc i think i stand out just as a person

there's even a ben + jerry's down there

and yes there's a bookstore

[alpine sun]

nice

[ocean mortar]

uchicago decision is my litmus test lol, if it's a straight-up rejection that'll clue me in that i probably should EDII

if it's an acceptance then ...

[vocal eagle]

i think my chances of acceptance are pretty slim to none but also i cant shake this sneaky feeling that i might be getting in lol

[ocean mortar]

lol same

[alpine sun]

same

💀

[warped river]

same

😭

[alpine sun]

im getting my hopes up a lil too much

[vocal eagle]

i made the mistake of telling too many people about applying

[warped river]

nah fr like girl ur going against crazy stacked applicants, legacies, ED ppl, u name it

[vocal eagle]

so now my family and coworkers and bf's friends know

[warped river]

OMG BISCUIT SAME AND NOW ITS GOING TO BE HUMILIATING WHEN I GET REJECTED

[alpine sun]

yeah my entire family knows

💀

[vocal eagle]

i literally am dreading a rejection

[warped river]

gonna say i was deferred and hope no one asks further info

[vocal eagle]

thats genius

[alpine sun]

worst part is when all your relatives in the same grade level got into their ed's

😭

[warped river]

i might say i’m accepted if i have the balls 💀

[warped river]

omg nooo

[vocal eagle]

i was hoping i got accepted b4 christmas so i could ask for a nice uchicago hoodie lol

buttttt

[warped river]

fr

[strong shore]

LITERALLy bruh

[warped river]

like amazon shipping won’t even cover that

[strong shore]

i think if i dont get accepted i might just move to alaska

[alpine sun]

tape a paper onto a normal hoodie

💀

[warped river]

lmfao

[strong shore]

my school and the area around it has like 5 ppl doing ed

[warped river]

i’m so glad my school doesn’t have a lot of ED applicants so barely anyone has even applied to colleges yet.

[strong shore]

idk if that's a lot

[ocean mortar]

if i get rejected i'll take it as a blessing, like i wasnt a good fit or something

they know better than anyone else

[warped river]

fr

[vocal eagle]

my bf's friend is like this sweat who got into berkeley and stuff and hes really excited for me to get in to uchicago but i dont want him to think im stupid when i get rejected lol

[warped river]

or maybe the AO was just snarky that day who knows

[ocean mortar]

same lol

[alpine sun]

if*

[warped river]

^^^

bro they could have said late december and left it at that. i would have enjoyed this last week more

[vocal eagle]

if i get rejected im popping 2 melatonin and sending my ass to sleep

not gonna stay up sad about that

[warped river]

fr

facts

[ocean mortar]

im just gonna watch always sunny

[strong shore]

omg bruh the post uchicago rejection workout is gonna go so crazy

[ocean mortar]

comfort show

[warped river]

i’m gonna spend the rest of the day in my room watching modern family and pretending i don’t exist

[warped river]

oml fr

[vocal eagle]

i just read through last year's college confidential ea/ed thread and holyyyy

making me so nervous

[strong shore]

im gonna become a jojo character afterwards

[ocean mortar]

link

[alpine sun]

highlights?

[warped river]

pls share

[alpine sun]

any major funnies/takeaways

[vocal eagle]

https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/t/uchicago-early-decision-early-action-for-fall-2022-admission/3545904/159

you're gonna have to drag the bar on the right

to mid december of last year

[warped river]

i’m already sick reading some of them 😭

i have no chance

[strong shore]

theyre all like
4.0 val internationally published and ceo of swimming
rejected

[vocal eagle]

don't get too caught up on it because nobody who actually gets accepted is going to hop in there and talk about it

bc they don't need it anymore

so it's an unfair skew of data

[ocean mortar]

^

also their essays prolly stunk

uchi essays are the way that they are for a reason

it weeds out the kinds of people they dont want

[slate flume]

What if I wrote an essay on Florida man?

💀 cuz I did

[vocal eagle]

LMAO

that's awesome

[slate flume]

(It sounds worse than it is, I made it look decent and fit the prompt aight)

[alpine sun]

aint no way

[vocal eagle]

my essay is about roaches

[slate flume]

But still stressing it was a bad idea lmfao

[alpine sun]

my essay might be a lil basic

looking back

[warped river]

same

[strong shore]

same

[warped river]

oh well

[alpine sun]

its just abbout my hobbies not rlly creative

[vocal eagle]

deleting this ina sec LMAO

[strong shore]

clipped screenshot uploaded to a2c 400 times

[warped river]

a rejection is just redirection to a better school that doesn’t threaten my life w it’s safety issues 🤩🤩🤩

[vocal eagle]

im gonna screen record u getting sturdy and clown you all over the internet

if you were auto admit and they saw you getting sturdy they'd reject you on the spot

[strong shore]

flimsy*

if i get deferred i am gonna send them a vid of that

[vocal eagle]

im gonna hit that gangnam style

send that in

[slate flume]

https://tenor.com/view/i-think-ill-defer-thank-you-william-murdoch-murdoch-mysteries-no-thank-you-politely-refusing-gif-23512413

UChicago application status update to me tomorrow

[strong shore]

shit......... that's good

[vocal eagle]

dude not even kidding my uchicago video has a clip of me hitting the L from fortnite

[strong shore]

AARHAYGHGH my video has me talking to my iphone 6 for 2 minutes

i shoulda snuck in the gangnam style

[ocean mortar]

i added an always sunny clip to the end of mine

i'll share if accepted

[vocal eagle]

my very last clip is a little video of me when i was like 7

[warped river]

ok cc made me ok w a rejection

if i was stupid enough to apply ea i deserve to be rejected 🤭

[vocal eagle]

ea is better than rd

[warped river]

LMFAO

[strong shore]

i didnt even know uchi had ea

that is so messed up bruh

why is it like the only one

[vocal eagle]

did u apply ed kyoko?

[strong shore]

yeah

[warped river]

uchicago is quirky like that kyoko

[slate flume]

So my App video got reviewed two times it seems

is that normal, less than normal or more?

[vocal eagle]

wait

[alpine sun]

I went for a hike just for my chicago video

[vocal eagle]

okay so

mine didnt get viewed at all but i have mine unlisted

[warped river]

not them doing reviews MID DECEMBER

[slate flume]

(YouTube analytics since I sent my app video with a youtube link)

[vocal eagle]

neither did another person in heres i cant remember

[warped river]

hmmmm

[strong shore]

wtf is going on in their admissions office

[slate flume]

I didn't share the link with anyone after november so I know this is UChicago AOs and not me or my friends lol

[warped river]

literally

[alpine sun]

i did nto have the balls to send them my account

i uploaded the video to the portal

[slate flume]

lmao

They only see an Embed

trust me they aint lazy enough to open the actual webpage

[vocal eagle]

from what i can tell, if you watch the video from within the application it doesn't count into your views because i tried to watch it and see if it counted the view but it didn't. however, if they follow the link it'll give you a view

[slate flume]

*are lazy enough to not open

[vocal eagle]

so it was either not uchicago or they followed the link

[slate flume]

it does - it just updates later

[strong shore]

🧑‍🔬

[slate flume]

thats how youtube analytics work

embeds count the same way normal vids do

[alpine sun]

my fear is the file didnt work on their end

they would contact me right...

[warped river]

nah

[alpine sun]

:cope:

[slate flume]

why would dat happen

[warped river]

they probably would be like “omg a minute saved!!”

[slate flume]

Btw anyone wana rate my cringe video?

[alpine sun]

idk i exported it myself

[ocean mortar]

i uploaded mine as a file so idk

[vocal eagle]

that doesn't make sense because why wouldn't they watch mine 😭

[warped river]

fr

[strong shore]

maybe you were auto admit

[slate flume]

still funny they viewed the video on 13th of fucking december lmfao

[strong shore]

think about it

[vocal eagle]

i watched my video in there like a month ago and it never updated

[alpine sun]

what if they're still viewing

💀

[warped river]

maybe you had already good qualities before they watched so they were like “ let’s skip” they’re already admitted

[strong shore]

lol they put their date on the 21st because they didnt finish

[alpine sun]

did anyone here not get any views?

[slate flume]

I tested the same thing but it worked

[warped river]

NAH FACTS LHSO

[slate flume]

so idk

[vocal eagle]

i didn't get any views

[alpine sun]

WHY DID U ADD AN L TO MY NAME

😭

[warped river]

IS RHAT NOT A L

NAHHH

[slate flume]

wait

[vocal eagle]

this makes me think im rejected ahahaha

[warped river]

IVE BEEN READING IT WEONG THE WHOLE TIME

[slate flume]

hm

[vocal eagle]

i cannot do this lmfao

[alpine sun]

NAHHHHH

[strong shore]

NAH THAT'S AN LHSO

[warped river]

RIFHT

[vocal eagle]

someone else in here didn't get any views at all

[warped river]

yeah

i remember

[vocal eagle]

@slate flume is your video public or privated

[alpine sun]

its ihso

[slate flume]

unlisted

[alpine sun]

i gotta

change it

💀

[vocal eagle]

fml

im def rejected lmfao

[slate flume]

so only those with the link can check it

[warped river]

BRO NO WAY IHSO THATS ???

[slate flume]

private can not be watched by anyone (even uchicago)

it needs to be unlisted

[vocal eagle]

i meant unlisted sorry

[warped river]

NOW I GOTTA LEARN TO SAY IT DIFFERENTLY

[vocal eagle]

i have mine unlisted

[slate flume]

unlisted = those with links can watch rest cant

[slate flume]

ah ok

[warped river]

hmm maybe youtube just messed up or smth

like w analytics

cause ik you weren’t the only one biscuit

[slate flume]

[ocean mortar]

i mean is YT really gonna track one single view

consistently

[slate flume]

can anyone pls rate my vid btw, I am stressing its cringe 💀

[alpine sun]

yes

[ocean mortar]

maybe their wifi broke that day

[slate flume]

as someone who made cringe youtube videos for gaming on a different channel earlier - yes

[warped river]

or maybe they made their decision (whatever it was) before watching the video and decided for times sake not to watch it?? or they are going to watch it still 💀

[vocal eagle]

okay so if i watch my entire video within the app submission spot on the website it doesn't count a view at all for me

so i don't understand

[strong shore]

maybe they forgot 🤔

[vocal eagle]

but it worked for vijit

[warped river]

that’s so weird

[vocal eagle]

they better have watched my video bc that was my saving grace

[warped river]

was vijit are you sure it isn’t your views that got counted? like from you watching it

idk what else it could be tbh

[strong shore]

this seems most likely tbh

[slate flume]

I never watched it once fam + embed views not getting counted are literally impossible

lemme do it rn if ya all are paranoid 💀

[warped river]

yeah ty!!

[slate flume]

I tested it earlier to - idk whats up with ya alls portal

[warped river]

dang that’s so weird

[slate flume]

btw you do know YT shows stats in the previous 48 hours somewhere else than the graph?

the graph is before 48 hours and beyond

[vocal eagle]

okay so vijit are you going into your app, hit edit portfolio, then watching the video?

to see if it counts a view?

or how are you doing it

[slate flume]

yes

trying it rn

doing it like this

[vocal eagle]

are you pressing the button that says display video on youtube or no?

[onyx sedge]

uChicago is really bad about that. They're hyper concerned about their ranking, so it's pretty fucking annoying to deal with in terms of admissions.

[daring steeple]

are oyu fucking kidding me

[alpine sun]

wtf i did not realise you could preview videos there

[slate flume]

Such a bad pause frame 😭

[alpine sun]

lmaoo

[alpine sun]

I SAID CORNY JOEKS IN MY VIDEO

LMFAOOO

[vocal eagle]

im trying it right now was well vijit

[alpine sun]

LIEK WORD FOR WORD

"Corny jokes"

[vocal eagle]

are you going to check after to see if it counts a view?

[slate flume]

yeah in 5 min

cuz yt stats take time

[onyx sedge]

Truth

[alpine sun]

https://tenor.com/view/squidward-tonight-glass-break-kinemaster-gif-22142436

[slate flume]

"My friends? They know me for my corny jokes"

[strong shore]

https://tenor.com/view/parkinson-cat-parkinson-cat-cat-parkinson-gif-23782173

this is me rn

[onyx sedge]

[slate flume]

brb

[alpine sun]

LMAO

[vocal eagle]

starting to feel like they didnt watch my video bc im instant reject lol

[alpine sun]

guys will we uh get cancer from going to uchicago football games

[vocal eagle]

idk

[strong shore]

im bouta make chicago pile 2 in a dorm bathroom

[alpine sun]

yes @fbi this guy right here

[slate flume]

it changed

idk whats up with ya all

aight brb

[alpine sun]

https://tenor.com/view/jinx-the-cat-jinx-jinx-cat-cat-computer-gif-25786466

[onyx sedge]

So, maybe they didn't watch mine because as I was an auto-reject?

[alpine sun]

nono clearly

[slate flume]

inch resting

[alpine sun]

they struck a deal with google

to hide

their views

[slate flume]

lmfao

[onyx sedge]

Maybe, idk man

[warped river]

yeah fr cause that’s why they ask for the video anyway. kinda how uc berkeley asks for LORs

[onyx sedge]

I'm scared now

[slate flume]

Can anyone rate my cringe video please 😭

[alpine sun]

whatever it is dont worry about it till wednesday bro

[alpine sun]

sure dm

[vocal eagle]

where did u see this

[slate flume]

btw, keep in mind the graph shows 48 hours and beyond, for less than 48 hours you gotta use the live counter thing

[ocean mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/borzoi-snoopa-irony-gif-20676010

[slate flume]

just temporarily

[alpine sun]

aight

[vocal eagle]

[slate flume]

[vocal eagle]

this is after watching my whole video within my app

[vocal eagle]

ok

[onyx sedge]

Yes

[slate flume]

yeah

[onyx sedge]

Just gotta wait

[vocal eagle]

vijit are you international?

[slate flume]

if this doesn't work, then idk whats up with my pc beig the only one working💀

[onyx sedge]

Yea

[slate flume]

yeah

in other words - a sure reject or defer and then reject

[onyx sedge]

I just tested mine, but not sure it'll work

[vocal eagle]

i was going to say maybe they read your app and liked you but bc international admissions are so tough they watched your video to make sure you were a good fit

and didn't watch the rest of ours bc it was easier to decide yes or no?

idk

[onyx sedge]

Stop saying they didn't watch it

It was essential to my app

That would suck so badly

[vocal eagle]

it's either a very good or very bad sign

[vocal eagle]

dude same

[onyx sedge]

STOP

[vocal eagle]

my video was so important

[onyx sedge]

DONT SAY THAT

I'm going to fucking die

[vocal eagle]

it could be a really good thing though

[strong shore]

im sorry t rex chicago emailed me telling me that u got rejected and theyre gonna go to ur house and shoot u as well

[onyx sedge]

No

[vocal eagle]

like they liked u enough that they didn't need ur vid

[onyx sedge]

Stop talking

Anxiety has taken the wheel

[onyx sedge]

[strong shore]

1. chicago is cold

[slate flume]

Wait, is it possible my stats update properly cuz I actually make Videos on my account

[onyx sedge]

So, maybe they did watch it and YouTube is fucking broken. Biscuit, don't refute this. This is my last hope and final straw

[slate flume]

and have 300 subs

do they like prioritise stats for those accounts that are active or something?

[vocal eagle]

[onyx sedge]

Probably not

[daring steeple]

i wish my optional video was better LMAO

[slate flume]

[strong shore]

LITEARLLY BRUH

[vocal eagle]

wack

[slate flume]

lmao

[onyx sedge]

I almost did that, but I can't talk without lots of rehearsal and an outline, so I basically was forced into making a really well prepared one

[slate flume]

[alpine sun]

i saw that one

[vocal eagle]

i saw that one

[alpine sun]

[onyx sedge]

Mine was 3 minutes

[slate flume]

[onyx sedge]

Auto reject?!

[daring steeple]

uc hatingmylife Go

[onyx sedge]

I'm pinning that kmfso

[slate flume]

the stuff happening for the analytics is server side

[warped river]

[slate flume]

I just played my video again - it didn't update the views this time

what da faq

[vocal eagle]

so maybe it's hit or miss?

[alpine sun]

they have apps and interviews for clubs???

[strong shore]

ok ok ok ok it's good if i get rejected because then i can apply to dartmouth 💯

[strong shore]

HELL NAH

[vocal eagle]

i was reading that sometimes embedded links don't give u a view for whatever reason

[strong shore]

i am done applying for the rest of my life

[warped river]

yeah at least a youtuber said so

[vocal eagle]

like autoplay videos won't give you a view always

[warped river]

idk

[alpine sun]

dartmouth has terrible frat culture tho right

[onyx sedge]

Okay

[slate flume]

YouTube analytics and embeds don't work well 💀

[vocal eagle]

sorry to bother u so much vijit i just really freaked out for a second lol

[onyx sedge]

:)

[strong shore]

true.......i will go to middle tennessee christian university

[radiant hawk]

can i even sleep on tuesday

[daring steeple]

i really just wanted to get into tulane today

[onyx sedge]

I won't be able to

[vocal eagle]

maybe different AOs follow links and that's why you got 2 definite views

[slate flume]

all good all good

[daring steeple]

i slept for 2 hours and now im wide awake smh

[slate flume]

all I know is, I only shared the link with the portal, so the views are 100% AOs

[warped river]

i’m just terrified of the humiliation that’s going to come on wednesday. lesson learned: never tell your irls ab the schools you’re applying to

[slate flume]

and the fact they saw the video on 13th december

is

💀

[vocal eagle]

that's crazy that it was so recent

it sounds like they moved you to a second round or something if that makes sense

[onyx sedge]

Everyone knows because I've been freaking the fuck out for the past week

[daring steeple]

no fr. i wish i told ppl the schools i applied to after i got into them

[slate flume]

I mean they do put intls on last priority I think?

[vocal eagle]

sounds like a good sign vijit

[daring steeple]

so i could be like.. go tinto all my schools!

[slate flume]

and one of the views was december 3

[daring steeple]

and not embarass myself and deal w peoples pitties

[warped river]

exactly

[vocal eagle]

i bet you moved onto the final round or whatever

[daring steeple]

and the passive aggressive people who did get in

[warped river]

ppl’s pity is the worst esp when ppl have high expectations for you

[vocal eagle]

not trying to get ur hopes up but id be cautiously optimistic if i were you

[slate flume]

or they are being an avg. US college where Intls have last priority

[daring steeple]

my tulane decision comes in 13 hours omfg

[lilac bridge]

if they watched ur vid it's prob a good sign

[vocal eagle]

yeah maybe but dont be too down on urself

[strong shore]

LITERALLY bruh my friends said "let's go out on wednesday after dan gets accepted" i almost died

[lilac bridge]

generally speaking, if they watch vid supplements it's a good sign

[slate flume]

hey, worst case scenario - I already got in (conditionally) to one of the best schools in Asia

no rejection can hurt me anymore

[vocal eagle]

see you're the goat

[slate flume]

only acceptances can boost my happiness

but they can't reduce it with rejections 😎

[daring steeple]

and i got a full ride to my top instate choice / second highest ranked in my state which is a t50 and got into my intended major so im not complaining

[lilac bridge]

all of you are freaking out abt the vid and im jsut like

I DIDNT DO THE VID

[alpine sun]

[strong shore]

BRO i had like 4k minutes and then they all DIED

[warped river]

[slate flume]

[daring steeple]

Damn I had no idea it was so expensive

[slate flume]

[daring steeple]

Oh Im already attending Grinnell college but yes good to be mindful of for other prospectives

[vocal eagle]

tulane was sooooo expensive for me i had to take it off my list when i was originally applying my senior year

[daring steeple]

UF UCFand USF aren’t bad no?

[strong shore]

we have uga and gt and 100% tuition paid for at a certain gpa

[daring steeple]

its just more in state funders give scholarships specifically for instate students

[vocal eagle]

i toured tulane in 2019 and it is like the most beautiful campus ever

and i loved it but i could not pay like 70k a year lmfao

[radiant hawk]

im surprised i only have 400 minutes of satie

i thought i grinded gymnopedies for studying

[daring steeple]

didnt apply to uf this year and hated it, got into fsu (ranked 55 w a full ride), got into ucf but i dont like it, and i kinda like usf

i just dont really like florida tbh

Why not fsu
