University of Michigan (2022-2023)

[dusk schooner]

and the decisions are mutually exclusive

so an acceptance in one doesn't constitute that in the other

and a rejection in one doesn't mean acceptance or rejection in the other either

[deft kindle]

it feels very powerful to be the only umich person in here rn

lol

[carmine oyster]

[sturdy valley]

[fierce river]

Is this a sign

I am athiest but I will start believing in you god if I get in

and plausibly deny your existance as a coincidence if I get in

[cedar token]

That happened to me with another school

[turbid burrow]

we r pain

[turbid burrow]

gah damn

[idle coral]

my dads a legacy and it’s been the school i’ve loved for ever

[inner spade]

tbh i moved on in a minute

[turbid burrow]

took me like an hour

[inner spade]

their loss

Not mine

[turbid burrow]

o ye that sucks ig

[reef dome]

Took me a few days

[idle coral]

wish i was able to think this

[snow lake]

Penn reject gang 😁😁

[turbid burrow]

1st gen immigrant only legacy i hv is umich and delaware

[inner spade]

i thought my stats would have been good enough for at least a defer

but no rejected

[turbid burrow]

wut r they

[inner spade]

1550 4.33

13 ap

[turbid burrow]

oof

u see my problem is they dont tell u anything

like i wish i could see my file

[idle coral]

me with my ecs my stats are like okay but my school is very competitive so they’re not too good for my school

[turbid burrow]

so ik where i got fucked

or if i was close

[inner spade]

in the uk they do that

they tell u why u got rejected

[idle coral]

4.9 gpa 33 act 14 aps

[inner spade]

4.9?? dam

[idle coral]

i’m so mad we don’t get to know

my school is out of 5.0

[turbid burrow]

ye but moved away from the uk system after gcse

[deft kindle]

weighted gpa doesnt really mean anything tbh

[turbid burrow]

welp

I can see y thatd f u up

[deft kindle]

14 aps crazy tho oops

[turbid burrow]

double mine

[idle coral]

my uw isn’t that good but i talked about why it’s cause i had undiagnosed learning disabilities and my parents refused ti get me a 504 plan even after i got diagnosed

[turbid burrow]

what aps if u dm xD

[turbid burrow]

ye i had to explain mine as well

[reef dome]

Tbh this could have played a role???? It shouldn’t but they can be bad abt that stuff

Like if ur essay was abt that

Adl info is fine

[inner spade]

whats ur uw?

because 4.9w dam

[deft kindle]

yea cuz a lot of schools recalculate or dont consider weighted

which makes sense bc weighted entirely depends on the hs

[idle coral]

spanish lang, psych, chem
lang,bio, stats, spanish lit, apush
calc ab, compsci, enviro, gov, macro, lit

[inner spade]

yeah

[reef dome]

@deft kindle mich pregunta plz

This is very off topic

[deft kindle]

sur

sure

[idle coral]

nah my essays were about how i lost a lot of family to cancer as a kid and it’s my drive

[inner spade]

how long does it take u to catch a bus

[idle coral]

3.7

[deft kindle]

not long

usually 5 mins or less

[reef dome]

But as a kid who keeps getting sick this year (working at a restaurant and with kids lmao), did you/friends experience massive college sickness

[inner spade]

oh dam

[deft kindle]

from the bus stop

[inner spade]

i remember seeing some big ass line on reddit

[reef dome]

I’ve heard a lot abt that for colleges in general

[deft kindle]

except it was like 15 when kamala came

[idle coral]

my ecs are my strongest part though

[turbid burrow]

idk i got a 3.8 uw

[deft kindle]

she fucked up the roads

[deft kindle]

thats v good

[inner spade]

do u really need to explain a 3.8?

yeah

[turbid burrow]

interesting

[reef dome]

I have a 3.93 thankfully

[idle coral]

i took 0 freshman year so i went 0356

[reef dome]

Not as good as some of my friends

But whatever

[deft kindle]

i had a 3.87 uw, so you guys r fine

[turbid burrow]

nah i hv a 3.9 w cuz i moved from intl so no ap/hon/de from before jr year

[deft kindle]

i got in oos

[inner spade]

oh i see

[inner spade]

how was scholarships?

or financial aid

any money

[deft kindle]

nope

lol

[inner spade]

thought so

[reef dome]

@deft kindle

[turbid burrow]

so class rank is like 200/600 so idk if that would work against me

[turbid burrow]

lol my mom showed me her student loans from Michigan

[deft kindle]

i got one thing once, but not badly. i know people who got frat flu for months

[turbid burrow]

its a lot

[reef dome]

My biggest fear is frat flu

[deft kindle]

i dont have to take any loans out luckily cuz my parents r paying, so im fortunate bc of that

[turbid burrow]

wuts frat flu

[turbid burrow]

fair enough

[deft kindle]

im actually going to a frat later tn

frat concert

metal frat

[reef dome]

Idek how to explain

[idle coral]

my rank is a bit weird they rank us by magnet since were a magnet school and i’m the second highest in my magnet but top 20% for my school our class is like 900 kids

[deft kindle]

its the coolest frat ever fr

[turbid burrow]

wym magnet

[reef dome]

SICKKKK

[idle coral]

so basically our school is divided into idk how many magnets and a magnet is a focus kinda so if you’re in the business magnet you have to take a business class each year and it’s kinda like that it’s weird but i’m gonna graduate naf certified and i have a ton of certifications already

[deft kindle]

if u listen to any rock music or metal and u want a good place for local shows then ann arbor and specifically metal frat is great

[turbid burrow]

ic

i mean we hv specialty centers

for medicine, engineering, etc

but its not greaat if u want to go somewhere competitive cuz it limits ur course rigor

and if u end up changine careers ur kinda screwed

[idle coral]

yeah i can only take 5 classes that i can choose per year

[turbid burrow]

decent amount ig

how many u hv in total

[idle coral]

if i didn’t have that limitations i would’ve done like 19 aps

[turbid burrow]

we got 7

[idle coral]

6

[turbid burrow]

yall must hv a lot lmfao

[idle coral]

one of the biggest schools in our district

atleast we’re public that’s nice

[turbid burrow]

i hv calc ab, bc, stat, bio, gov, csa, eng lang

[turbid burrow]

fair enough

[reef dome]

My class is 1000 kids and we can’t even take ap’s until junior year

[idle coral]

that’s insane

[turbid burrow]

u can only take 1 freshman yr max 3 sophomore and so on

in my school

[reef dome]

Yupp

And a very rich school

[idle coral]

my school is horribly underfunded but even then we have more funding than most schools

[reef dome]

Yeah idk I have a bone to pick with my school’s ap policy

[deft kindle]

my hs was very similar

[reef dome]

Doing an 80mil gym renovation rn, teachers make an average of 150k a year

[deft kindle]

hm

that also sounds very similar to my hs

LOL

[reef dome]

But no kids can’t take ap’s freshman and sophomore year bc mental health

LMAOOO what state r u from 👁️

[turbid burrow]

lmfao

[deft kindle]

new york

[reef dome]

Shame

Illinois here

Got excited

[turbid burrow]

damn

[deft kindle]

there actually is someone in a2c who went to my hs and we talked on here during senior year and didnt realize it

and we found out later during the year

lol

[turbid burrow]

i highly doubt anyone from my hs is in here

i know like 3 ppl max who applied oos

[deft kindle]

my hs honestly did a good job prepping me for umich

i know tons of people who were valedictorians of their hs and then come here and fail

[arctic siren]

How competitive is bme to get into?

[deft kindle]

u get into the college

not the major

im technically undeclared but im taking bme major reqs rn

[arctic siren]

Ohhh okay sounds good

[deft kindle]

michigan engineering as a college is more competitive to get into tho than lsa

mainly because its more selective (grading and credits and stuff are a lot stricter) and also because its just smaller so there are less seats

[arctic siren]

Right damnn

I really wanna go

If I get in I’m def going

[deft kindle]

i went to downtown aa while it rained yesterday and took pics

i couldnt move past the lamppost cuz i would get splashed

walkable downtown area is quite extensive

[idle coral]

are the classes too big

[deft kindle]

nah depends on the clsss

last sem my math class was 15 kids

my bio lecture is 500 tho

so depends

[idle coral]

does ross have any reputation like are people there nice

[deft kindle]

ross has a reputation for being competitive to get into but easy once in

and the people are known as rossholes lol

steretyped as rich crypto bros

canada goose

[idle coral]

ew 😭

[reef dome]

RAM no 😭

[idle coral]

well i know it’s late now but writing isn’t automatic you need practice i would’ve reccomended for you to start journaling

[dusk schooner]

💀 💀 💀

[dusk schooner]

def yea

issue was more early grad

and how my advisors decided to set that up

in uh

fucking july

and gave me confirmation in late aug

leaving not a lot of time for practice

[reef dome]

Why did u do early grad again?

Hated hs right

[dusk schooner]

if i stayed next year i'd deadass be taking 4 electives and ap lit

depressing asl

[reef dome]

LMAO

[dusk schooner]

rather j go die in college

[reef dome]

Wait y’all only have 3 years of English required?

[dusk schooner]

no

im taking a 8wk eng course at my cc

for the req

[reef dome]

Ah

[cedar token]

this

:'(

[formal bridge]

positive thoughts

[cedar token]

I'm manifesting for everyone here

[cedar token]

we just make sure these college megathreads are staying civil.

I guess

You could say that. We don't have full mod privileges obviously, but ig we kinda do that

[outer bronze]

is there like a approx % for how much umich defers ea?

i heard its pretty bad for oos

[floral pond]

😭

[modest nexus]

defer > reject though

[fierce river]

speculation

[cerulean tiger]

i dont think i trust that.

[fierce river]

me neither tbh

[inner spade]

higher or lower do u think

[formal bridge]

my guess is probably like accept 10%, defer 80, reject 10

[reef dome]

Bruh

Just reject people I don’t want false hope

[formal bridge]

if they defer you it’s probably not false hope

it means you’re qualified

unless they just don’t read your app 💀

[solemn elm]

This scared me

I thought it was EA decision date

[deft kindle]

that looks like my dorm

nvm its not

[cerulean tiger]

i dont know, but the "it may even be closer to eighty percent" throws me off

like you go from 30-50 to 80

is kinda iffy

[deft kindle]

metal frat

[turbid burrow]

w

[fickle cloak]

go blue

[trail vault]

umich is my dream school now

[deft kindle]

it was sick

[reef dome]

@deft kindle

How’s ur bday

[deft kindle]

good. there's an ann arbor wiki for shit u can get for free on ur bday

im maximizing it

LOL

[reef dome]

HECK YEAH

what have you racked up so far

[deft kindle]

so far ive gotten 5 FREE FOOD ITEMS

that's a free ice cream from ben and jerrys, a free churro from local cuban inspired restaurant frita batidos (actually a delicious restaurant in its own right), a free pistachio latte from starbucks, a free drip coffee from local coffee shop roosroast, and also a free croissant pastry from panera

and i just ordered some chipotle and am getting free side of chips and guac with it

if i had a car i could go to zingerman's (local food company) and go to their bakehouse and get a free loaf of bread

there's also another coffee shop i might go to after to get a cup of decaf or tea or something later (had too much free coffee today)

plus i have a coupon for free auntie anne's too for bday, but doesnt expire for another week or so.

[reef dome]

CHURRO

AUNTIE ANNES

[deft kindle]

yeah the churro is gigantic i put it in the fridge i cant eat this all today

i turned 19 right as a reached my dorm after coming back from metal frat. also metal frat was cool as fuck

[old dove]

love zingermans

[barren lantern]

Any tally hall enjoyers

[graceful viper]

does anyone have any thoughts on when ea results might come out??

[reef dome]

Next Friday

[dense jolt]

Does anyone have an idea of what day for UMich decisions

Oh shit I’m dumb

Dammit i thought it was this Friday

[barren lantern]

how do we know

[reef dome]

People have been talking abt it for a while

But just historically last Friday of month

[fierce river]

plus all other “public ivies” are releasing on the same day

[barren lantern]

like what

[inland skiff]

UIUC, GaTech, UNC, etc

[dense jolt]

It just pisses me off bc UMich know 😐😐

Like just tell us

we know that u known

[reef dome]

Michigan is only one I make exceptions for

Based on sheer number of applications

But still wait sucks

[dense jolt]

I Hope we all get in ppl!

[fierce river]

how many EA?

[reef dome]

85k for 2021-2022 cycle

[dense jolt]

Jesus Christ

[fierce river]

damn

makes sense why they defer so fucking many

[dense jolt]

Ya okay I’m not getting in 😅

[reef dome]

Abt 15k get in

You could be one of those

[barren lantern]

is that 15k ea or 15k total

[reef dome]

Ea

[barren lantern]

o shit

there is a chance

18%

[reef dome]

Yuh

Tho some of those might be defferals and then accepted

[dense jolt]

Ya I’m expecting a ton of deferrals as always

So Michigan for sure next week and not this Friday?

[worthy orbit]

most likely

[dense jolt]

Awesome tysm everyone

[reef dome]

They could decide to be extra

So we aren’t totally sure

But I doubt it

[dense jolt]

I wish I had discovered this sooner 😩

[reef dome]

How come?

Did u make a bet on this lmao

[dense jolt]

no like the discord in general

I literally just forgot A2C existed

[reef dome]

LMAOOO

Same here

Im jealous of kids who are on here as freshman

[solemn elm]

wHaT aRe yOuR StAts????

[dense jolt]

Wait wait nvm I’m dumb

[reef dome]

“If I have an A- in world history, can I still get into Harvard. Answer ASAP”

No shame I was like that too it’s just funny

[dense jolt]

EXACTLY

[cerulean tiger]

400 sat 2.0 weighted gpa

[dense jolt]

that was me too 😅😅

[solemn elm]

Let’s be honest. We were prob all there

[dense jolt]

If I don’t win national for brain bee can I get into Yale?

[cerulean tiger]

got into SHIT

[reef dome]

Nope

Auto reject

[reef dome]

Of course

[dense jolt]

We were that why we all here now ✌️✌️✌️

[reef dome]

Honestly that’s one of my biggest flaws with American school system

[dense jolt]

embrace the geekiness

[reef dome]

Kids are so UNDEREDUCATED abt college process that it leads them into spirals

[dense jolt]

Yaaaa

[solemn elm]

I’m still in spirals lmfao

[dense jolt]

and then it just makes everything toxic

[reef dome]

(Me too)

But I feel like that could be mitigated with proper knowledge

[dense jolt]

It could but it’s literally not taught at all in our education

[reef dome]

Yupp

[dense jolt]

Where’s the course in college apps?

[reef dome]

All of my friends have had private college counselors since middle school

They were mega prepared at twelve 😭

[solemn elm]

All I had was Jr. planning

[reef dome]

They would never bc “you gotta focus on highschool”

[dense jolt]

The thing is tho sometimes you learn the best on ur own

[solemn elm]

AP Commonapp

[reef dome]

I agree

[cerulean tiger]

ehhh

not necessarily true

[reef dome]

You learn from mistakes

But sometimes it costs you

[cerulean tiger]

you learn about the college process sometime in junior year

by then its too late

to develop ecs

[reef dome]

THIS

[dense jolt]

Ya i mean I’m sure we’ll all get in somewhere great tho

[cerulean tiger]

i cast out my net too wide for the sake of experiences instead of leadership positions

[reef dome]

thank god I started debate+working early but Ik sm people who started junior year

[cerulean tiger]

and realizing now that maybe i shouldve been more toxic with that

LMFAO

[reef dome]

I should have gone for stuco president

But I was too scared

Fuck that I should have demanded votes

[solemn elm]

I mean

[cerulean tiger]

i dont regret that much tho? like i feel like i did a lot of stuff for the sake of doing it

and if it fucks me over for college so be it

i just work my ass off in first sem and transfer

[solemn elm]

You should also be doing ECs bc you actually have a liking for it

[reef dome]

I love student council but I was afraid to go against most popular girl

Im a member still and rly enjoy it lmao

All of my ec’s are things I actually enjoy

(Even working 20hrs a week)

[cerulean tiger]

yep this? kinda?

[reef dome]

But I was definitely not that way as an underclassman

[cerulean tiger]

theres one ec that im still doing bc i have a semi-leadership position but i dont really enjoy it

but ive done it for so long so i might as well

also so many of my ecs are competition based so its stressful 💀 but ive learned to deal with it

[reef dome]

Science Olympiad kid

Scary man

[cerulean tiger]

mun + math team + former debate kid

😭

[reef dome]

NOOOO

even worse

Mun kids ew

[cerulean tiger]

mun's the club im talking about not enjoying LMFAO

i just do it bc ive done it since freshman year but i stopped being passionate about it long ago

[fierce river]

wait ya all have MUN as a club?

we just have a 2 day internschool comp every year, thats it

like MUN is fun, but as a club? Hard pass.

[reef dome]

Very very competitive club

[fickle cloak]

Def going D1

[deft kindle]

best of luck people lol

any qs u can ask

[reef dome]

Yeah he is

[deft kindle]

yep

[deep drum]

What is the number 1 factor umich sees when admitting students

Cause though a upward graph my GPA is around 3.7 which is low for umich so is my sat 1450

Wondering if essays and ecs can make up for the weaker academics

Cause they are cracked

[night epoch]

Similar situation here

[reef dome]

What was the lowest year?

[reef dome]

Like id assume a 3.5,3.6,3.8,3.8 combo isn’t bad

But like a 2.5 to 3.0 4.0 4.0 combo could be weird

[deep drum]

Freshman i got very low, 3.8 in sophomore and 4/4 in junior and senior

[reef dome]

Did you explain freshman year in adl info?

If so you should be good

Your lors could also showcase academic strength

[deep drum]

I did for few schools not sure if i did for umich

[deep drum]

I wrote them myself so ye pretty good

[reef dome]

Istg every intl kid writes them themselves lmao

But ok you obviously hyped yourself up a lot; that should be good!

A good essay will never override a horrible academic background but you have a very solid upward trend/sat/lors

[cinder dune]

is it bad if its

3.9

3.0

4.3 4.3

💀

[reef dome]

3.0 is a sharp decline yes

[deep drum]

my ECs are cracked too

[reef dome]

But again, if you explained it, you’re good

[cinder dune]

actually its probably 2.7 8 sophomore year

some perosnal issues and i did explain it

[reef dome]

You’re chilling I’d say

[deep drum]

you want me to list my ECs?

[reef dome]

You kicked ass junior year which is most important

[reef dome]

Lmao you seem to want to do that, so sure

You’re probably fine tho

Your number 1 ec is making a book that received 100 dollars in revenue?

[deep drum]

ye

[reef dome]

Overall the ec’s are good but the descriptions are quite vague at times

[ornate hare]

some of these seem like they fit the "honors" section more

[reef dome]

Im not an expert or anything so take that with a grain of salt

[reef dome]

Yeahhh

[cinder dune]

whats a good ec

[deft kindle]

idk lol

[cinder dune]

is being a tutor good?

[reef dome]

3,5,6 are all honors

Also @deep drum they don’t click on links

[deft kindle]

i havent looked at my file but all i can tell u is that i got into mich engineering with a 3.87 uw gpa and 1550 sat

[solemn elm]

This isn’t chanceme lol

[deep drum]

i didnt apply honors so no point

[solemn elm]

And we’re not AOs

[deft kindle]

yeah

[reef dome]

The honors section of the common app

[deft kindle]

i meant more so abt questions abt the actual student life or smth

lol

or academics

[reef dome]

Yeah idk but they sent them anyways so I just wanted to leave some comments on a few, glaring things without being rude

[deep drum]

ye but it looks authentic

[solemn elm]

Waste of a description

[reef dome]

Bae what are you doing for ur birthday evening

[ornate hare]

the chess one i can understand as an activity since you put an extremely large time commitment but the the harvard finalist one i would've put in the honors/awards section

[deep drum]

no idea it was there

[reef dome]

You didn’t fill it out???

[solemn elm]

Smh

[reef dome]

Normie that ain’t good bro

[cinder dune]

i left one spot open for awards lol

i even used school honor roll💀

[reef dome]

Filling out anything is better than nothing

[deep drum]

where tf is it

[reef dome]

And honor roll is good

[tight robin]

its in education section i think

[solemn elm]

Ngl some of your ec descriptions are bland asf

[deep drum]

ye my bad

[solemn elm]

Like they look sus

[deep drum]

fuck

[reef dome]

@deft kindle how often do y’all visit surrounding cities besides Ann Arbor; it’s my only school that’s a college town, so idk the exact vibe there

[solemn elm]

Detroit is like 45 mins away lol

[deep drum]

i thought honors meant achievements in the honor classes in the US

[solemn elm]

There aren’t any other cities

[reef dome]

No way

[deft kindle]

going to bed

[solemn elm]

Townships

But not cities

[deep drum]

i like sus

[reef dome]

I was gonna say Detroit but I forgot if it was nearby lmao

[deep drum]

[deft kindle]

i mean i took the bus to detroit for a concert and it was fun but also it was detroit so go with ppl u trust

[reef dome]

Metal concert

[deep drum]

welp it is what it is

[deft kindle]

nah actually it was j rock

[solemn elm]

I gotta say. I like the Detroit airport

[reef dome]

“Just rock”

[deft kindle]

detroit airport 1. isnt even in detroit 2. is good af

[solemn elm]

Yeah

[deft kindle]

downtown detroit has been revitalized a bit actually

[ornate hare]

tbf can they literally just call it "awards."

like honors so fancy lmao

[deft kindle]

it wasnt as bad as i was expecting tbh

[ornate hare]

"accolades"

[deft kindle]

also seems to be quite an architecturally interesting place

[reef dome]

@deep drum at the end of the day man, we aren’t AO’s. If you have any colleges left tho, I’d fix ec descriptions/move some to honors but rest of ur app could easily pull through gl dude

[deep drum]

ifkr

smh

[reef dome]

Ooo

[deep drum]

nope done applying

lmao

[reef dome]

Well then just gotta wait

[solemn elm]

How many of you have visited the campus?

[deep drum]

ye thanks for the help

[reef dome]

I visited in February

Couldn’t recommend less

It was too cold

[deft kindle]

also, ann arbor bus system is directly connected to ypsilanti, could always go there for cheaper food and a diff scene. d2a2 is the bus that takes u to and from detroit, and its like 4 bucks lol

[reef dome]

FOUR BUCKS; SOLD

[deft kindle]

ann arbor bus system plus blue buses all free for students

[ornate hare]

LMAO i read this so passive-aggressively

[solemn elm]

That’s nice

[deft kindle]

i took the bus to ypsi by accident

like

two days ago

[solemn elm]

Lol

[reef dome]

Ram would have had a field day with this

[deft kindle]

also ann arbor is def a small city. but feels vv tight knit at the same time

[deep drum]

hopefully he/she didnt take it that way

[reef dome]

What guy is named Riley 😭

[deft kindle]

but there are multiple neighorhoods and stuff so even if ur used to a certain area there are parts of the city u might not necessarily see often

[deft kindle]

i know a few

[solemn elm]

The campus gave me Monsters University vibes

[reef dome]

Blasphemy

They don’t exist

They’re fake

[ornate hare]

ik a guy named riley ;)

[reef dome]

Lies

[ornate hare]

i cannot confirm if he exists or not tho

[deft kindle]

reason i chose umich was ann arbor im negl and i visited in march

[ornate hare]

so

[deft kindle]

getting to and from the airport is also easy af

[solemn elm]

If I get in, that would low key be my reason too

[deft kindle]

student gov organizes buses that literally pick u up from ur dorm and drop u off at ur terminal

[solemn elm]

That city was made for college kids

[deft kindle]

yeah. its fucking awesome

i wanted a place also that wouldnt get boring

[solemn elm]

So uh

[deep drum]

most of the students in my country dont apply here because of the whether

[reef dome]

My god

[solemn elm]

Have you heard abt the barn?

[deft kindle]

people also say ann arbor is expensive but im from the northeast so its kind of cheaper💀

[deep drum]

is it that bad?

[reef dome]

My counselor sent my midyear report to Michigan at 3:33 am

[deft kindle]

yeah i know abt dsig barn

i dont go or anything

only metal frat 😼

[reef dome]

What country are you from; canada versus South Africa would have a very different response lmao

[deft kindle]

weather isnt that bad tbh

[reef dome]

Plz take me next year

[deft kindle]

fr bet its so cool

[deep drum]

India

[deft kindle]

literally if u got a coat gloves and a hat then ur fine but also again im from the northeast

its not the cold that sucks, its the wind btw

[reef dome]

PREACH

[deft kindle]

its not even THAT cold

its just wind

[reef dome]

as a chicago girl, people underestimate the wind so much

Also get like hot hands (little heat warmers for gloves)

[deep drum]

our winter goes till 13-15 degrees and I cant stand out for more than 10 min in that temp

[deft kindle]

also like ngl michigan as a state kind of prettier than other midwestern states

[reef dome]

You’ll get used to it

[deft kindle]

as much as i make fun of michigan

[reef dome]

You talking c or f tho

[solemn elm]

Better than Ohio

[deft kindle]

and yeah. you get used to the cold

[solemn elm]

That’s all that matters

[deft kindle]

i hope after one of my friends brings their car we can go to the lake or smth

[deep drum]

c

[deft kindle]

or drive to mackinac or the sand dunes

i like that its lowkey only a short drive

[reef dome]

LMAO

[solemn elm]

The sand dunes are sick

[reef dome]

Winter here is usually -15 to 4 C

But again, you’ll get used to it

[solemn elm]

Get used to F

[reef dome]

At least our summers aren’t deserts

[deep drum]

@deft kindle Can I buy an ipad over macbook for tests and classes cause few colleges dont allow ipad

[deft kindle]

summer was so pretty in michigan

[deep drum]

💀

[deft kindle]

for tests? lmao u prob cant use electronic devices on exams. but for class yeah a lot of people have an ipad

they have a tech shop on campus and i think they sell ipads and laptops there too w the student discount

my biggest worry abt umich also was not being able to find ppl like me bc i was under the impression it was a fratty and basic school, which theres def a component of, but like yeah school is so big that any kind of person i can think of is here

[deep drum]

oh cool

[deft kindle]

which is also why imo metal frat is cool as shit cuz its absolutely not what you'd expect from a school like mich at first glance and also from a frat. also cool theyve been doing it for decades

[reef dome]

I wish I did this for my whymich essay

Just to get a kick out of AO’s

[grave galleon]

How was your book mentioned by Forbes but only made a hundred bucks on Amazon? Was Forbes shitting on it or something so you only got 2 sales? What did they “mention” lmao

[karmic yarrow]

is there an exact date out yet

[deep drum]

nah

[karmic yarrow]

for umich

[deep drum]

lmao

[deft kindle]

riley hope u get in cuz if so then im boutta go to metal frat w u and my crew

[reef dome]

I’ll keep you posted man. My parents r convinced im going here so maybe it’s a good omen

They would drop dead if I said metal frat tho lol

[deft kindle]
