[slim ermine]

my family can't afford to visit any but there are still a few schools that I love over the others

do research into them

[buoyant nova]

You're not alone

[ocean mortar]

[safe wagon]

I thought I was gonna get rejected

How crazy

[daring steeple]

Like mit or chicago

[exotic yarrow]

Can I send my Chicago financial aid offer to Columbia

?

[daring steeple]

Private schools

[tired nebula]

does deferred mean that im actually competitive or does it mean I suck

[daring steeple]

You can but you probably won't get more aid since Columbia is ED

[dusk holly]

you can try

[daring steeple]

Worth a shot tho

[onyx sedge]

Two people that got into Columbia also got into uChicago

I'm lowkey pissed

Wtf

[spare nexus]

Do we stand a chance for rd, or should we consider ourselves rejected ?

[daring steeple]

Guys, I think I got full ride

[dusk holly]

lmao who else

[daring steeple]

Did Chicago give u more? I'd think Columbia is more generous

[lilac bridge]

WHAT

[onyx sedge]

Stealing our spots. Leave room for us, jesus...

[lilac bridge]

THATS INSANE HOLY SHIT CLARKE GO U

[quiet kraken]

if you get in ed don’t you have to revoke your apps?

[dusk holly]

odyssey?

[daring steeple]

Not until u commit technically

[exotic yarrow]

I haven’t looked hes

Yet

[gusty wind]

Cool people do

[daring steeple]

I haven't revoked cuz I need finaid

Otherwise I woulda immediately

[exotic yarrow]

Same 😁😁

[quiet kraken]

ah ok makes sense

[gusty wind]

Ah ok

[daring steeple]

They haven't even given me a quote yet 😭

[gusty wind]

That’s the only valid reason not to revoke

[exotic yarrow]

I am in fact poor

[daring steeple]

@broken mason @gentle maple Do you guys see this too?

[lilac bridge]

ah ok

[safe wagon]

does anyone know if they defer a lot of ppl

and like if it increases RD chances

[spare nexus]

Do you mind sharing the acceptance letter with us (u can off blur private info) just so we can what does it look like 😭😭

[daring steeple]

Yeah, I got the Odyessy scholarship

[stone cosmos]

rejected ED gang lets go

[tame grove]

CONGRATS DUDE

[buoyant nova]

About 40% I believe

[stone cosmos]

[gusty wind]

To those who got in: SEE YOU AROUND IN CHICAGO!! To those who got deferred: GOOD LUCK! To those who got rejected: you’ll find another school you love!! Also, northwestern is better anyway so you lowkey dodged a bullet

[spare nexus]

THIS ⬆️⬆️

[safe wagon]

DANG CONGRATS

[lilac bridge]

does it mean they just didn't want to outright reject me or do they think i actually stand a chance

[safe wagon]

TBH IM SO HAPPY I GOT DEFERRED I wrote my supps the day of and put no effort into my app im taking this as a W

[warped river]

[lilac bridge]

i'm flat out broke my guy 😭 just gotta pray my single entry gets lucky

[onyx sedge]

I'm happy for those of you that got accepted, jealous, but still excited, for those of you that got deferred (make the most of the opportunity. If for nothing, do it in the name of those of us got rejected.), and I'm sympathetic for those of you that rejected as well.

I'm gonna go mourn. I'll catch y'all on the flip.

[autumn hull]

thank you !!

[safe wagon]

@daring steeple Check ur dms whenever ur avail :))

[safe wagon]

[lilac bridge]

[safe wagon]

[lilac bridge]

LMAO I MEAN MAYBE THEY DID LIKE THE FIRST DRAFT FEEL OF IT 😭

[broken mason]

they realeased mine

[safe wagon]

I think I reverse psychologized them

[gusty wind]

Lowkey wanted not to withdraw cause I was so damn proud of my Uchicago essay

But whatev

[broken mason]

heres all the stuff that I have

First was likely, 3rd was official, 2nd was fin aid, and 4th was a congrats thing

[daring steeple]

decision letter october 3

[daring steeple]

Why do you have double correspondence?

how did u get a likely?

i think likely was an rd thing?

[broken mason]

Because I already had a likely

[daring steeple]

r u an athlete or sum

Wait you got your decions letter 10/3?

[broken mason]

Yes I am an athlete

[daring steeple]

LMAO

makes sense

[broken mason]

I got an athlete 10/3

[daring steeple]

This guy

[broken mason]

liley*

likely*

this is all it says

[safe wagon]

I’m filming all my decisions so this was fun

[dusk holly]

did u get scouted

[broken mason]

I got recruited yes

[slate flume]

for me it was the most boring reaction

[broken mason]

UChicago is D3 though so recruitment is iffy

[slate flume]

I spent a whole 10 seconds

just to say

meh

[molten blaze]

what sport

[broken mason]

Track

[dusk holly]

do they actually have someone come and watch u

lol

[slate flume]

every other decision had such a hyped reaction (prolly cuz I was in vc with friends) but here the time wasn’t given so no VC

[gusty wind]

My first and only decision was my Ed acceptance and I didn’t film it cause I was too nervous sooo 💀

[broken mason]

Track so times speak for themselves

[safe wagon]

LMAO mine was meh cuz I got deferred but I was happy ab it cuz I was expecting a flat rejection

[dusk holly]

true

[slate flume]

same, I was expecting a flat rejection too from MIT and Uchicago both

[safe wagon]

byeee I was filming my ed school but I got rejected so now it’s just sitting there

[daring steeple]

This isn't as cool

Where are your bubbles

its ok tho. i hope i get into my magnolia league school 😉

JK

[broken mason]

thats corrospondence 1

[safe wagon]

tbh I’m taking this as a W

[daring steeple]

Oh

[slate flume]

noice

[daring steeple]

tulane is probs the best choice for me anyway since i forgot to apply to emory and withdrew my duke and vandy app

[daring steeple]

uchicagos accpetanc eletter is so fucking tacky i hate it

[gusty wind]

To all you Uchicago rejected people (they were dumb to reject y’all) come to northwestern to show Uchicago the true best Chicago school

[daring steeple]

northwestern is a fake bitch

[gusty wind]

Why are you so mean to northwestern 😭

[daring steeple]

because they rejected me ed

[gusty wind]

Ohhh

Sorry :(

[daring steeple]

after 2 years of my loyalty to that bitch ass school

[gusty wind]

Good luck on tulane tho! Hope you get in or find another awesome school!

[daring steeple]

duke
vandy
emory
tulane
smu

is probs the order of the "southern ivies" excluding smu which is more like usc

[gusty wind]

You got this

[daring steeple]

well tulane is my top choice since its basically the cornell of the south

• i plan to work in texas or cali post college

[autumn hull]

im becoming a nw fanboy... my hair is already purple soooooooo #gocats

[gusty wind]

I’m a Cali girl!!

[gusty wind]

Lmfao slay

[daring steeple]

so going to a southern ivy is my best bet for feeding into texas austin/dallas/houston/la areas

[gusty wind]

The northwestern admitted students group is lowkey hilarious and the class of 2027 insta page is so funny. You should def come here

[molten blaze]

how is tulane a southern ivy tho, a low acceptance rate doesn't make it that

[autumn hull]

i'll try!!

[timid oak]

lol rejected

[daring steeple]

im not even talking about low accpetance rates

[molten blaze]

yea but its not even close to a tier of duke or vanderbilt

[daring steeple]

every college maganize and blog

considered tulane

a southern ivy

[daring steeple]

and cornell isnt the same tier as yale

[molten blaze]

ig i mean i never understood why the accpetance rate for tulane was so low considering its average sat and gpa weren't even high

[daring steeple]

"Made up of schools like Vanderbilt, Emory, Rice, Duke, and Tulane, the Magnolia Conference was meant to compete with the Ivy League in more than just sports. Though the athletic conference never took off, these prestigious Southern schools are still dubbed the "Southern Ivies."

plus tulane feeds into texas metro jobs very well

[broken mason]

Let us not argue about the prestige of schools here

please

[daring steeple]

free applications

[daring steeple]

their acceptance rate is low because of yield protection

and the avg sat and gpa are the highest because they prefer people interested in the school and/or people who can full pay, vs people who just have high stats

[molten blaze]

yeah i mean its a good school i only said something cuz last year someone who was considered an average applicant got accepted rd

[daring steeple]

demonstrated interest at tulanes matters more than a 1500 or 4.0

[molten blaze]

so if you got deferred uchi id be suprised if you didn't get in to it

[daring steeple]

i didnt get deferred uchicago

i got rejected uchicaog lol

i got deferred tulane

during ea but switched to ed2 because its my top choice now that my other top schools rejected me 👅

actually let me not say that

im still waiting on a handful of top choices this month

(usc, umich, etc)

[quasi shuttle]

those come out in jan tho

[daring steeple]

i meant jan lol

[tame grove]

im lowkey debating if its worth doing ed2 🥴

[daring steeple]

for uchicsgo?

if its ue top choice

then yes

[tame grove]

its my top personal choice, though im more likely to get aid at another school

[daring steeple]

uchicago gives full rides

[tame grove]

issue is id have to bind before i get decision from other school

[daring steeple]

they meet need

[tame grove]

i know but its like

idk

im uncertain im probably gonna reach out to my school counselor at somepoint

[lilac bridge]

did u get into uchi

[quasi shuttle]

idk didn’t check

probs differed

wbu

[gentle maple]

I Hope anyone deferred continues to pursue AND anyone rejected, YALL are gonna tear up the RD rounds

[lilac bridge]

deferred

[gentle maple]

YALL GOT THIS STUFF

THANKS TO EVERYONE HERE too!

[lilac bridge]

congrats to everyone who got in! and those deferred, we still have a shot — head over to #1053759023943528518

[exotic yarrow]

I told my mom I got in and she said “I don’t care” 💔

She only cares about Ivy League

I tried to explain that it’s better than a lot of ivies but she got mad at me 💀

[broken mason]

Did you get into UChicago EA?

[exotic yarrow]

Yeah

[broken mason]

Wow

[lilac bridge]

that really sucks, i'm sorry :(

[gentle maple]

@exotic yarrow did you get more financial aid than Columbia

[exotic yarrow]

I sent in the wrong form when doing my financial aid and forgot to fix it for Chicago 💀

So I don’t have my offer yet

[gentle maple]

@exotic yarrow come to chicago dude, it’s ranked higher than Columbia 😈

[exotic yarrow]

Ik but i just love Columbia and New York 😭😭

But I also love Chicago

[gentle maple]

it’s so mid

I live here dude

[exotic yarrow]

I do love Chicago

[gentle maple]

Yassss

[daring steeple]

Brutal immigrant moms lol

[exotic yarrow]

My moms not even an immigrant 😭😭

My dad is and he was so happy

My moms just some white lady 😭

[azure tundra]

unlucky man

tried p hard on the apps too

ff

yea

[daring steeple]

BRUH lmao. Are you choosing columbia or chicago?

[exotic yarrow]

I mean i ed to Columbia and I love that school so most likely Columbia

But I’ll send them my uchicago financial aid if it’s better

[lilac bridge]

it's rlly hard to break an ED agreement no ?

[exotic yarrow]

But I’ve always wanted to go to Chicago for law sooo

[exotic yarrow]

They’re not legally binding it’s more of an honor code

And the only reason I wouldn’t go is cost

which is allowed

[tame grove]

did they offer you aid?

[frigid galleon]

bruh

what the fuck is going on here

i'm back for like 15 mins

[frigid galleon]

why did you not withdraw after getting accepted

literally

[exotic yarrow]

I fucked up my aid application so it isn’t in yet

[frigid galleon]

uchicago decisions released later for a reason

[exotic yarrow]

But imma fix it when I get home

[exotic yarrow]

Bc I didn’t have to

[final flume]

FRIEND GOT INTO UCHICAGO

omg

[broken mason]

Congrats to friend

[frigid galleon]

anyway here's my reaction vid

bye guys

[autumn hull]

me and u both lets gooooooooo

i miss para :(

[slate flume]

not legally binding but say you went to collumbia after UChicago ED. and Collumbia found out - they would rescind you

so like indirectly still a thing

[lilac bridge]

it also blacklists your entire school

[exotic yarrow]

Well it’s not a requirement to rescind applications until you enroll in the school

Which I have not done yet

I have not broken any part of the agreement

[broken mason]

Have you taken a look at your ED agreement yet?

That’s weird

UChicago ED agreement demands withdrawal from all schools

If you ED’d Columbia I think you should go. If you wanted to Go to UChicago you really should have ED’d to avoid putting your school in a bad standing. That way you don’t affect future applicants

[lilac bridge]

i believe columbia required the same

[exotic yarrow]

It does when you enroll

[broken mason]

Plus are you really going to come In here after multiple people who really wanted to get in get rejected and gloat about your multiple T10 acceptances. Read the mood my brother

[exotic yarrow]

Not immediately after being accepted

Babe it’s literally 2 schools

But I get it

I’ll shut up

[gusty wave]

bruh

[gray geyser]

ED releases are only for people who really truly cannot afford to attend, not if you find a school you like more, it’s the right thing to do to go

[warped river]

wait didn't u also get into macalester and another school or was that someone else i saw in the #✨-celebration-station. 100% congrats and u def deserved it, but yeah like ramen says read the room

[daring steeple]

Wait has anyone heard from @vocal eagle?

[vernal junco]

yeah in the other server

she didn't get in unfortunately either

[daring steeple]

What other server?

Oh bummer

She was super cool

[vernal junco]

games server

you can join if you want

[daring steeple]

Yeah, can i get the link please?

I like talking to yall

[vocal eagle]

Rejected @daring steeple

Kinda shocked tbh LOL but whatever time to shotgun and hopefully get into northwestern

[exotic yarrow]

Ok I truly would struggle to afford going to Columbia. But I was willing to take on Thousands of dollars of debt with no support from my family for the opportunity to attend that school. Sorry I was excited that I would maybe have to pay less.

[daring steeple]

I'm shocked too. From what I heard you were solid

[vocal eagle]

Uchicago didn’t fuck with my 5.5 gpa and hotness

Their loss!

Congrats though clarke I’m super happy for you

[daring steeple]

Facts. You're too intimidating for them. I hope Northwestern works out so hopefully we can run into each other in Chi-town

[vocal eagle]

Absolutely!! 😸

[vernal junco]

I really hope I get into NU so I can hang out with some of you guys

[molten blaze]

what about chicago st

or depaul

or loyola

[broken mason]

I understand, but schools have net price calculators for that exact reason. My UChicago aid calculated aid was within 1k of the actual aid

[slate flume]

wdym?

[daring steeple]

basically

[broken mason]

Im 100% sure you deserve all the acceptances you received, and congrats on working so hard in high school. I just don’t think right now right now is a good time to share that as emotions are running high from decisions

[exotic yarrow]

Ok I feel like my actually intentions are being changed. I don’t want to get out of Columbia Ed at all I was just waiting for the possibility that I could maybe negotiate my package

[daring steeple]

if one student from a HS breaks ED, the college will be like "we can't risk that anymore" and stop accepting as many from that school

if any

[slate flume]

that sounds dumb to me ngl. Like ur generalizing everyone cuz of one kiddo

[dusk holly]

yeah i mean u can use it to negotiate aid

[daring steeple]

that's also why it's really crazy to ED without being sure

[slate flume]

ofc

[daring steeple]

because now you're stuck unless you want to mess it up for everyone lol

[vernal junco]

well yes but it also reflects badly on the counselor and thus the school

[exotic yarrow]

Well considering my hs class is like 200 and I don’t think any other students applied to any t20 colleges I don’t think that’s an issue. Also like I said I don’t plan on breaking my Ed agreement

[slate flume]

oh yeah, forgot counselors are a thing and know about what you do with ur apps (intl here without one)

[broken mason]

It will be an issue for anyone who decides to apply to Columbia in the future, but thank you for reconsidering

[exotic yarrow]

I literally just want to minimize the debt I will be in

That’s all

[broken mason]

That’s fine. Just try not to get that at the cost of others futures

[final flume]

yeah, but tbh the odds were insane.

Like 49/15k applicants if the number of students was exactly the same as last year were the odds for her.

To anyone who's nursing a deferral or a rejection, know that it was basically luck roulette after a certain point.

[azure tundra]

ramen u got in?

[broken mason]

Yep

[azure tundra]

through ed?

or ea

[broken mason]

ED

[gentle maple]

Samesies

[steep lantern]

EA, I didn’t realize there was a vid until like three weeks ago so I assume Ed it would be too late
