The academic validation 😭

[trim karma]

[sullen mirage]

the whopping 2 people who got into their eds in my school keep wearing merch

[ocean mortar]

i wasnt allowed to apply to tulane

[trim karma]

tulane had this thing where if you had your parent sign up to receive emails you got free socks

i never applied, but got my socks

[sullen mirage]

[ocean mortar]

no one in my school did EDI

[trim karma]

[sullen mirage]

[trim karma]

[sullen mirage]

[ocean mortar]

[sullen mirage]

[ocean mortar]

[lament sonnet]

[sullen mirage]

😭

[lament sonnet]

https://protobowl.com/mechicago anyone want to play

[sullen mirage]

all the leadership rols at my school are voted

[trim karma]

nah we’re taking the same # of classes but he does nothing outside of school anymore so he pretty much grinds tf out of school

he’s at an A+ avg i’m at an A 🤷‍♀️

i’m probably going to drop to 3rd

[sullen mirage]

damn he really has no life huh

[trim karma]

since 3rd wants 2nd really badly too

even tho she’s taking 4 less classes

bro stole my entire hl essay

[sullen mirage]

😭

my hl essay was really bad

[trim karma]

submitted it before me and wrote it off as hers

[sullen mirage]

i dont even wanna fix it before its submitted to ibis

[lament sonnet]

what's hl

[trim karma]

like i’m kinda upset

[sullen mirage]

higher level

[trim karma]

lmao

did you get a predicted on it

[sullen mirage]

yep

thats why i said it was bad

[trim karma]

my draft hasn’t been graded

my draft was quite good

[sullen mirage]

its like 2 whole grades lower than my average in english rn

[trim karma]

but literally my idea was already stolen so my teacher is probably going to tell me L + ratio + she submitted first so although we’ve been having essay meetings for literal months, you gotta switch

and in that event i’ll cry

[trim karma]

damn

[sullen mirage]

that sounds rough 💀

my thesis was banger tho idk what went wrong in the essay

[trim karma]

i’ve gotta have my ee meeting tmr 😀

lol….

[sullen mirage]

oh damn

we finihsed the ee back in september

[trim karma]

i turned in a half assed, not done rough draft

[sullen mirage]

they fast tracked everything except for the ias

[trim karma]

because i was dead

[sullen mirage]

theres like 4 ia subject deadlines this month

[sullen mirage]

my first draft was shit too dw

[trim karma]

the only things i have done rn are
tok exhibition, tok essay, hl history ia, ee rough draft, hl essay rough draft

AND

i guess

comparative study, and process portfolio

for art

[sullen mirage]

we did a bunch last year

[trim karma]

kinda behind

[sullen mirage]

still havent finished chem ia, math ia

[trim karma]

yeah i wish lol

[sullen mirage]

econ ia

[trim karma]

last year was basically free

[sullen mirage]

french io

[trim karma]

french io 😓

[sullen mirage]

4 ias pretty much

im so nervous for the io 😭

[trim karma]

which level french are you in

[sullen mirage]

regular french b sl

[trim karma]

ah

i’m literally in ab initio but i can’t speak for the life of me

[sullen mirage]

ive done it since gr4

[trim karma]

our highest level french class was ab initio

bro 😭

[sullen mirage]

but they stopped teaching us actually useful stuff

[sullen mirage]

its mandatory for us 😭

[trim karma]

canada?

[sullen mirage]

gr4-9 mandatory

yep

[trim karma]

ic

yeah that makes sense

[sullen mirage]

really annoying tho they assume ik all the grammar stuff

[trim karma]

USA moment 🗿

[sullen mirage]

but i dont 😭

[sullen mirage]

😔

[trim karma]

will i barely pass my diploma? probably

will i pass? yes

[sullen mirage]

im probably gonna bomb the may exams

minus math

[trim karma]

they literally don’t matter

[sullen mirage]

my ego wont let me fail math

my school has an award for the kid who scores highest on the july report

[trim karma]

sheesh

[sullen mirage]

one kid has 7s in all subjects but i really wanna overtake her in may 😔

[trim karma]

damnnnnn

nah me rn i’m looking like 7/7/5-6 5-6/4-5/7

[sullen mirage]

damn i tried to grind for this midyear

but my french teacher screwed me over

[trim karma]

so if all goes well i’ll avg a 40/45

[trim karma]

💀

me but art

[icy cypress]

a 4?

[sullen mirage]

she rounded me down out of nowhere and i lost a point 😭

[sullen mirage]

i was supposed to get a 6, but she carried more weight on a compostion we did in dec

and dropped me to a 5

[icy cypress]

oh scam

[trim karma]

i ended 0.09% from an A+ in chem

[sullen mirage]

and shes been sick for 2 weeks so i couldnt talk to her before

and now its finalised

[sullen mirage]

ouch 😭

[ocean mortar]

my school doesnt offer IB

[trim karma]

lucky you

[sullen mirage]

my schools full ib we get no choice 😈

pyp, myp and ib all in one school

[icy cypress]

whats a good ib score for uchic?

[ocean mortar]

i kinda wish we had more advanced courses offered

[trim karma]

if you have the choice between ib and ap i would just take ap and an ib or two

[sullen mirage]

i heard 40+/45 should be compeititve

with a 42-45 looking pretty similar

[icy cypress]

oh makes sense

[sullen mirage]

i decided i hated myself and took 3 ap exams outside of school last year

[trim karma]

sheesh

[sullen mirage]

did bad on 2 of them 😭

[lament sonnet]

petition to get rid of the college application system and switch to socialism + gaokao

[trim karma]

NO

we are not developing gaokao genes in the US

pls

[sullen mirage]

petition to get rid of the randomness ‼️

[ocean mortar]

can we get the socialism without the gaokao

[lament sonnet]

ok we can compromise

[brazen comet]

i heard uchicago doesn't take many int applicants

[lament sonnet]

probably true

[icy cypress]

isnt it more than most unis

like their stats show 16-18% int

thats a good amount right

[sullen mirage]

usually privates ive seen are 10% intl

[icy cypress]

yeah

[gentle maple]

Yeah Uchicago is actually a better school for international

[icy cypress]

so 16% seems pretty good

[sullen mirage]

yay! uchicago should take me

[gentle maple]

Idk where you heard that it wasn’t from

[sullen mirage]

16% of the acceptance rate is

😭

[brazen comet]

they aren't need blind like other T10's

[lament sonnet]

i mean "many" is obviously subjective

[icy cypress]

prob 300 int students a year i assume then

[sullen mirage]

considerng thats every other country

[gentle maple]

um yes they are..

[sullen mirage]

rough

[icy cypress]

theyre need blind for int?

[gentle maple]

@brazen comet dude just search it up

[icy cypress]

i thought they arent

[gentle maple]

are you sure?

i swear i thought they were need blind for all applicants

[icy cypress]

one sec

[brazen comet]

They aren't

[sullen mirage]

need blind for us, canada, us pr

need aware for everyone else

[brazen comet]

Uchicago is need aware

[icy cypress]

yeah

[brazen comet]

"need sensitive" @gentle maple

[icy cypress]

so for int whether or not you can pay matters ig

[sullen mirage]

unless youre from canada

whopee canada

[gentle maple]

wow

i didnt know that

[brazen comet]

yeah canada is different

[lament sonnet]

pr meaning permanent resident?

[gentle maple]

i just read everywhere that they kept saying need blind

[sullen mirage]

yeah

[brazen comet]

are you from canada?

[brazen comet]

for US and Canada yeah

[icy cypress]

Nope

[lament sonnet]

every college i've seen is need blind for us pr if it is for us citizens

[gentle maple]

damn rip intl students who need aid

[lament sonnet]

is that the standard or

[sullen mirage]

arent pr almost conidered citiznes

[icy cypress]

most universities arent need blind for int but

[brazen comet]

Yeah

[icy cypress]

like besides 5-6

[gentle maple]

i know that that they still give a ton of aid to intl students tho

[sullen mirage]

needing aid as intl is usually rough

[brazen comet]

yeah i think MIT Dartmouth Harvard and a few more

[lament sonnet]

idk what does almost a citizen mean lol

[brazen comet]

are need blind

[sullen mirage]

like youre usually considered a citizen

[icy cypress]

yeah i think its very few

[sullen mirage]

youre on teh jounrey to citizenship kinda

[lament sonnet]

yea

i mean you can't vote and a couple other things

but other than that i think it's close?

idk

[brazen comet]

There are a few differences between pr and citizen

for aid but not rly anything major

mostly the same

[lament sonnet]

what are the few diferences

[icy cypress]

whats pr ?

[lament sonnet]

permanent resident

[icy cypress]

oh

[lament sonnet]

i think i am losing my sanity

[brazen comet]

why?

[sullen mirage]

i’ve already lost my sanity

this whole app process killed me

[brazen comet]

I feel that

[lament sonnet]

why can't there just be fewer smart people 😭

and then dumb people like me can go to college

pain

[sullen mirage]

real question is why do i need to write so many damn essays

[lament sonnet]

maybe we should just become 1984

install cameras everywhere

[sullen mirage]

i’m reading 1984 rn in english 😭

[lament sonnet]

put the footage through an ml model to sort out the relevatn footage

then the aos watch that and make their decisions

[sullen mirage]

fr tho weed out the annoying ones

[lament sonnet]

have you read

tess of the d'urbervilles

[sullen mirage]

nope

[lament sonnet]

that's good

[brazen comet]

random question

who has somebody for valentines day?

[full dirge]

Haha funny joke

[brazen comet]

I wish 😦

[ocean mortar]

i think the last and only time was covid times during freshman yr

actually 8th grade too but be fr

[lament sonnet]

i will have my uchicago admissions package

!!!!!

[daring steeple]

i hope so

good luck

take someone else's

[lament sonnet]

ok i'll try

[daring steeple]

thnx

u can just email the ao and tell them not to give u mine

[lament sonnet]

yea that might be a good idea

just to make sure they dont get mixed up

[daring steeple]

😎

[lament sonnet]

this is truly a moment

[full dirge]

Lol everyone’s valentines are just admissions packages (hopefully)

[lament sonnet]

unless...?!?!??!?!?!!

[full dirge]

Ngl I’m lowkey getting covid

I feel like I’m gonna lose my voice by Friday 💀

[lament sonnet]

[sullen mirage]

uchicago better be my valentine

[ocean mortar]

yeah i think uchicago would kill my soul 💀

gl to yall tho you're built different

[daring steeple]

uchicago is the harvard of chicago

[lament sonnet]

i don't think that's a very good comparison 🤔

[daring steeple]

why not

[lament sonnet]

it's like comparing apples to bitter melon
one you like, the other one you want to eliminate from existence

[daring steeple]

you want to eliminate uchicago?

pretty rude

a lot of people live there

countless casualties

[lament sonnet]

maybe i should go there and then eliminate myself from existence simultaneously

[simple torrent]

when the fuck will uchicago release decisions

its insanse

[simple torrent]

bruh?

[clear sluice]

Saturday morning IST

[wooden mulch]

I WANT TO THROW MYSELF OUT THE WINDOW

[solar pike]

two weeks ago I had a similar dream except I got baited and it was uic 💀💀💀

[wooden mulch]

😭😭😭

i had a dream like this for purdue and got deferred 🙁

[solar pike]

luckily Ed 2 does not defer so that will not happen 💪

[wooden mulch]

waitlisted 💪💪💪

or rejected

[solar pike]

I’d rather get rejected than waitlisted

I don’t want any sliver of hope after Friday

[wooden mulch]

i’d rather get waitlisted

then i can say

“i almost got into uchicago but i made a fool of myself somewhere in the app”

[fallow pike]

wait your withdraw button isnt there?

[scenic zodiac]

My button is still there

[full dirge]

Me too

[simple torrent]

[clear sluice]

Yes

[simple torrent]

[fallow pike]

indian + econ + male + 90 percent aid

4 me

[olive helm]

Do they consider how much aid you will get too?

[fallow pike]

it is need aware

[olive helm]

I thought they only consider whether i'm going to get aid or not

not how much i'm gonna get

[fallow pike]

nope, need aware so the less need you need the better

[fallow pike]

wait its only need aware for intls

if ur domestic youre fine

[silk flare]

[ocean mortar]

we did this earlier

for EA

[vivid meadow]

If there’s a limited amount of matter in the universe, how can Olive Garden (along with other restaurants and their concepts of food infinity) offer truly unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks? Explain this using any method of analysis you wish—physics, biology, economics, history, theology… the options, as you can tell, are endless.

this prompt

[wooden mulch]

[fallow pike]

it does to certain extent, but i think lehigh also has sm opportunities, its one of my top choices in rd ( my rd list has no safeties, all ivys, lehigh, duke , northwestern)

[vivid meadow]

Lehigh has great opportunities

but it's capped out at a certain point

[fallow pike]

are u slow i literally just told the prompt i did and u said i will get in

[vivid meadow]

you might start out higher depending on what uni you go to

but if you don't put in the work

[fallow pike]

!

[vivid meadow]

you'll flatline anyway

[wooden mulch]

you said the topic, not the prompt

also yes im slow

[fallow pike]

Tell us about the relationship between you and your arch-nemesis (either real or imagined).

You are on an expedition to found a colony on Mars, when from a nearby crater, a group of Martians suddenly emerges. They seem eager to communicate, but they're the impatient kind and demand you represent the human race in one song, image, memory, proof, or other idea. What do you share with them to show that humanity is worth their time?

[fallow pike]

[fallow pike]

....

DEMONSTRATED INTEREST HELP

[wooden mulch]

im gonna cry. im gonna cry. im gonna cry. im gonna cry. im gonna cry. im gonna cry. im gonna cry. im gonna cry.

[spice garden]

ugh, lowkey reconsidering uchicago ed2 rn. like i cant tell if its a coping mechanism or because im scared of the rigor. ive been doing pretty shit in my dual enrollment math class this semester, and if this is what college (uchicago) is like, i have no idea how im gonna survive

[stark urchin]

lowk if by gods grace i manage to get in ima like fail the first quarter 💀

[spice garden]

ideal situation is waitlist -> accepted off waitlist LMAO

[wooden mulch]

THATS WHAT IM HOPING

bro if i get waitlisted ill be happy

but id be even happier if i get accepted

[sullen mirage]

i don’t even think uchicago has my mid year report yet

💀

[wooden mulch]

oh fuck.... i dont think they have mine either...

tmrw is going to be fun

[charred vine]

do they consider it

[wooden mulch]

probably

[lilac bridge]

yes i am (i will literally disappoint so many people when i get rejected)

[lament sonnet]

Me fr

[lilac bridge]

good lord we are not doing this

ED / EA did this too and it meant absolutely nothing

[lilac bridge]

question. if we get waitlisted. it's no longer binding right

bc that's my ideal too tbh bc i really really hope barnard or upenn or dartmouth lets me in (i will dissolve into tears) but if i don't get into any of those then uchi!!! pls let me in!!

[lament sonnet]

I believe so

Also you have to choose whether or not you want to be on the waitlist right

[sullen mirage]

yeah

[wooden mulch]

yes i am too (i will also disappoint many people, including myself)

[lilac bridge]

can't decide which one is worse, getting rejected or telling ppl who were hoping for u that u were rejected

[wooden mulch]

IKR

so much stress about getting the decision back

[full dirge]

Tbh I didn’t tell most people lol

[sullen mirage]

second one fs

fr

it hurts to let people down

[full dirge]

Unlike my ED1, I told everyone then like had to go through that experience rip

So this time around it resolved to just not tell anyone

Even my mom doesn’t know tbh lol

[sullen mirage]

only my family knows

[brazen comet]

what does this code thing mean

[ocean mortar]

it means nothing

I had it and I was deferred

[brazen comet]

for EA?

@ocean mortar

[ocean mortar]

yes

ppl who were accepted had it too

everyone had it

[vivid meadow]

it's a script that runs depending on the link that attached to you

basically it means nothing

[ocean mortar]

^

[wet comet]

damn Im nervous

though international fin aid request already spoils my rejection lol

[gentle crescent]

We will all be proud of you no matter what

[ocean mortar]

@lilac bridge this is so true, i first got to know you in the early round and I’ve been rooting for you ever since😭🙏

[daring steeple]

If you don't get in

I'll drive to uchicago admissions and raid the office + hold nondorf hostage✨✨

[spice garden]

bro hacking into the mainframe

[sullen mirage]

im gonna need a deep analysis of this and the cancel one 😔

[barren burrow]

i think it might be the video

did u do the video

[daring steeple]

guys if your portal says "congratulations" at the top i think it may mean you're admitted

[barren burrow]

it says that for you?

[brazen comet]

did u guys apply for ED2?

[brazen comet]

screenshot?

[gentle crescent]

context?

oh shit damn

lmao I can't code so I wouldn't know

[gentle maple]

come come come

[lilac bridge]

cj girl thats so sweet 😭😭 rooting for you with your ed2 too

[ocean mortar]

thanks😺

just remember that you rose to the top echelon of your class for a reason, and you’ll continue to do that no matter where you go. even if it’s UIUC where the party kids you know all went😭

but you won’t need to worry ab that bc you’re getting in tomorrow

[daring steeple]

Yupppp a quick 15 min away by highway

[wooden mulch]

[daring steeple]

the top

[wooden mulch]

ss?

[daring steeple]

I don't have a screen shot it was just a guess

[wooden mulch]

....

[lament sonnet]

Withdraw is gone

[wooden mulch]

oh shit yea its gone for me too

[lament sonnet]

That means we're getting in!! Fs

[wooden mulch]

yessirrr!!!

[full dirge]

Omg same for me too

[vivid meadow]

withdraw gone = acceptance or rejection

[lament sonnet]

It doesn't mean anything for ed2

[vivid meadow]

thats because like nobody gets deferred ed2

u either get in or you don't

(usually)

[lament sonnet]

Yes

[full dirge]

Yea we’re all just nervous wrecks lmaoooo

[lament sonnet]

There is no defer

[vivid meadow]

heh

im sure there's a few defers

[solar pike]

nah no defers

[lament sonnet]

No i don't think it's even an option

[solar pike]

website says

only three possible decisions

accept deny or waitlist

[lament sonnet]

ONLY ONE DECISION: ADMIT

Sobbing rn

[icy cypress]
