Website says march 17tg
Definitely do it earlier as they likely won’t be able to review all the ones submitted that late before the deadline
Also I think it probably was reviewed by school for acceptances because i now know like 25 extremely qualified people at my school who applied and all of them got deferred
ik someone with below average stats who got deferred too
i’m depending on my 35 act to get me in for RD but idk
They deferred everyoneeee
ong
some schools (like mine) require updating Naviance w/ decisions for everyone so it's hella useful
but yea if its not required, there's def some voluntary bias going on
What am I supposed to say for the form of continued interest
fuck michigan
How’s ur life
im scared of cs advance selection ngl
Is that ur 1R? Or D
Same
getting into lsa was one thing but cs advance is another 😭
I didnt apply EA michigan
i just wanted to say that idk why tbh
so far rejected from every other cs reaches and targets so i dont think tis gonna end well for me
my 2R is UNC and GT
Aww man I’m sorry
I got into unc by the grace of god and u had better stats than me
what was ur gpa? (also congrats bitch you deserved that shit 100x dont even worry)
Aww thank you!!! 3.92 UW, 4.8 W, oos
F UIUC and UNC bro
fr
DAMN
my stats were not better than u LOLAMSDOFFKDSDKFV
3.67/4.11
OH LMAO SRY
HAHA NO PROBLEM
Bro how are you getting a 4.8 I don't think my school even offers that many APs
idk bruh
Like if APs are a 6 or something I get it but like if not that's crazy
4.8 is BONKERS ngl
bro i got a 3.6uw 4.8w 💀
WHAT 😭😭😭
Did anyone get into CoE and get into advance selection for CS already??
bro taking advanced nuclear fission VI and getting a fucking 12 in it
You need to be selected for it to declare yourself as a CS major
i go to a large public rural school with a small ib program, since the grades in ib are much lower they have big weighting to reflect course rigor for class rank
UMich gets so many CS applicants that they select who can declare CS yeah
If you don’t then you can’t major in CS
oh 🫡 tyty
dawg still 1.2 difference is crazy
But did anyone get into advance selection already?
Ok damn I should not be comparing weighteds ig lmao
AP’s are a 5.33 here; I actually have a 5.1 on our scale
i thought mine was bad 😭
based on my results so far i probably shouldn’t have taken ib
Lmao you're good dude that's a great weighted
i’ve skilled so many Ls
i meant the deviation 😭
did anyone else have a heart attack when they saw postponed today
why don’t they say deferred
bc they want to be special 🫶
my school offers a lot so i have an almost 5.0 thwyre 14 aps
for ross do we need to send mid years
I was so confused… why tf can’t they be normal
CS seems like a wasteland of deferrals lmao
What's your math score?
750
alr cool cool
I got deferred and have a 4.2 unweighted and 1590 sat I think I’m screwed
I think you might need to recalculate your GPA to fit UMich, unweighted only goes to 4 iirc
fuck umich and their garbo ass oos tuition
do we know the deferral rate?
Does anyone know how conditional the offers are for IB students?
Unconditional
I have predicted 44 but they didn’t mention anything in the acceptance letter
Ok maybe if u drop like 10 points u get rescinded but
Just don’t lol
I think I’ll be okay 😭
🤣🤣
At 41 but I’m scared I’ll get test anxiety
Nice nice
We all hope 😄
🤣
How does advanced selection work for defers? Am I still eligible?
yeah because normal RD applicants have advanced selection too
probably not a high chance though
wait so if you apply for advance selection they assumed you were applying for cs??
there was an advanced selection for CS specifically
Is there advanced selection for other majors too?
no 🥹 I think I applied to wrong major
didnt you get accepted already
I don’t think so
is it possible u got postponed only cuz they didn’t read your application in time or did they read every application atleast once?
Cuz I am pretty sure my UMich essays were rejection level
not in content but in the tone and grammar
advance is not even seen until ur main app is accepted, did u get in btw krissy?
OH GOOD
I think they more likely than not read your application, and i didnt find concrete evidence they don’t. But on the other hand I’m thinking maybe they prioritized those with high stats/looked at their app in more depth
how to rescind asap
get an F?
does 1510 mean high or low for college of engineering (CS Advance) or no?
hm?
oh no wait - thats preferred. I think advanced is read
I think the fact that it’s called “postponed” instead of deferred indicates that they might not read everyone’s, and if you want urs to get read u gotta get ur foot rlly in the door w those stats
yeah exactly
HUH wdym read
i mean if you want to get rescinded then you can get an F at school and theyll rescind your acceptance
If you did really good in math it should only help you
I thought you were talking about preferred admission (bussiness, school of info etc.).
They have advance and preferred admission. Advanced apps are different and get read I think?
nono rescind cs advanced
question - did u get into UMich?
what
yes
if so, don’t worry
like is it possible 😭
so you applied advanced selection but didnt want to do CS?
and also CONGRATUFUCKINGLATIONS!!!!!!
stop I didn’t know what that was so I clicked yes 💀
advanced selection will not affect your decision
TYY did u receive ur app?
wait advanced selection do u mean preferred admission? or did u apply to comp sci
it's only either you can do CS or you cant
postponed UMich, rejected UIUC GA TECH
is it binding?
/nick Vijit (3A, 4D, 3R, 16n/a)
idk, maybe write an email to ask them?
wut
I think they'll let you withdraw advanced selection status
L GA AND UIUC 🙄🤚 you deserve better
Does michigan do rolling or set date for rd
it’s due by Feb 1 (the application)
I just checked and it’s not binding, if you get in you still declare ur major
YAYY ty 🫡
Don’t take my word for it tho, in this paragraph it sounds like u can still choose ur major if you get selected. And if u don’t wanna do CS, there’s also a chance you won’t get placed into it
yeah I have absolutely no cs ecs so crossing my fingers
Yes i am 99% sure you won’t have to do cs, i think advanced selection is where you’re guaranteed to declare it as ur major if u wish to
guys is there a fixed date for CS advanced selection decision release or is it rolling
has anyone been selected?
i think it’s just near after you get accepted
people who get rejected from advance selection can never do cs at umich
I asked the high school visitor and they said it was same timeline as ea if you apply that way
Yeah but that’s the point. the person i was responding to accidentally picked CS and doesn’t want to do it
I was saying it’s not binding but it’s a guarantee if u want to study it and get accepted
oh yeah for sure
hm i wonder if anyone has gotten their advance selection result yet
@proper violet
also why does umich do it this way? if I dont get cs I'm never going to umich so you might as well reject me entirely in that case lol
ik yalls decision is out but i wanted to try making an icon anyways for fun but its hard
like i wanted to put this dude's hat on the a2c but idt itll work well
I think it might actually work out if you put it on the top of the A
the hat should be larger
I second that
We have a motion and a second to increase the size of the hat. We shalt proceed
Lol
@cedar token did u do umich
Applying RD because I didn't have time to polish the essays enough for EA
ic ic
Hoping that I get into CWRU and don't have to worry much about uMich though
Yea, but I really like uMich. It's in a better area (not the middle of nowhere)
Ann Arbor is just a great city
Ann Arbor is not the middle of nowhere lmfao
idk had the same vibe for me
Nah
it is notoriously the best college town and it’s developed so much it’s basically a small city
i toured uchi, umich, purdue, uiuc and this is the only place i got in 😔
i love it so much but I can’t afford it
That's how I'm feeling with UIUC rn
almost feel guilty ab the acceptance bc I legit just can’t
UIUC gonna be the same way for RD
Do they not do aid at uMich?
i feel guilty about acceptance cuz if i dont have cs i may as well not go
ye but it’s for sub 60k income and I’m above that
it’s really minimal even then
like my moms quitting her job and moving multiple states away so I put 0 for the income just to see
and they still want 25k a year
⁉️
I’d have to look at career prospects post grad for my major
from the school
problem is year 1 and 2 michigan wants like 50k
oh wow that is competitive
👀 ur schools has basically the exact same stats as mine lol
has anyone already been selected for CS?
did any other admits get a campus invite for a region that ... is not their region
like im from louisiana and i was invited for a "southwest states" meetup on campus
No, I think everyone has the 10-day thing for advanced selection
they should've just announced decisions right now tbh
i doubt they haven't already made them
Exactly, like why??
btw if u ever get invited to something called "leadership weekend" TAKE IT
why
oh this isnt that, it's just "campus day" but i'll look out for that
I cant see my naviance stats for this year ugh
it's an all inclusive paid trip to michigan over spring break
WHAT THATS SI FUN
i did it last year, at first i was on the fence about doing it, but i took it and it was really fun
is it only if you commit?
how many people get invited
cuz i made sm good friends on the trip and got to see the campus
around 50
i think it was 48
oh damn that’s barely any
i am literally still friends with kids i met last year on leadership weekend
not all of them ended up coming to umich, but i'd say half, if not 60% ended up coming, which is a lot
is the invitation random
esp considering i knew what other schools these kids were choosing from
or based on app
i think you might get an email, it's only within COE
and also you have to apply into doing it
and they consider your app
but idk, all i know is i got a random ass email in like february-ish, rlly soon after i'd gotten in, and like i decided to apply, cuz why not, all inclusive trip
and i 1000% recommend it
its super fun, i got to see campus, got so much free swag
made friends i still have to this day
(also i might be volunteering for it this year, so there's also that)
ooo okay how soon do i do it??
I don’t think there’s a strict deadline but I’d say if u can get it in by mid/late February that’s good
do other schools have some later?
wait so is the eoci basically just an update if you have anything new to share or is it sort of like a second why michigan essay
because tbh i don't really have anything new going on 
it says march 17
me going ross thinking abt a random artifact for the portfolio 
how many ppl get into advance seleciton for cs?
What’s this from
common data set
If I’m majoring in bio how much more selection process do@i have to go thru after the LSA acceptance
yeah how do majors work
I literally did not know it lol
i have no clue how to major or minor or anything but i’ll figure it out if i chose to commit
that’s a problem for later me 💪
im 1000% gonna be looking out for this. i want to go to ann arbor regardless, just expensive soooo... if it's freeeee....
Yep!
what state are you in and what region did they say 😹
California, and the region is just California. It's on campus though
Oh wait! I did not understand what you said
Nevermind lol
lol yeah
im in louisiana and they said "southwest"
maybe they're treating us like the NBA does
"west"
Haha maybe
any idea how competitive summer term admission is, compared to fall?
I've already graduated from high school and wouldn't mind starting in the summer instead if it meant a higher chance of getting in 🤷
Wdym
their commonapp allows me to apply for either fall 2023, or summer 2023.
Interesting
Go for it!
I don’t think it boosts your odds tho
ah f
does postponed mean I got deferred? or they didn't have time to review my application?
yo guys
whats the most interesting or unique thing abt umich ross?
courses, events or cool clubs ? -> for my essay lol
Does umich accept you based on what major you are?
university of michigan
I think department or smth
ue
ye*
think so
cuz acp rate for ross is like 9%
normal admission is 20%
i think it’s by college and they use your areas of interest for reference
if i submit mid-year reports now, will it hold any value or impact my decision in anyway, I got Deffered
ya just one in a college course, i applied civil!
but i also had two incompletes 😵💫
hm
Michigan RD due Feb 1st at 11:59 right
did everyone get deferred ? or were there rejections as well
i think there were rejetions
there was at least 1
and anything but straightforward
if any RD wanna know my stats feel free to DM me 🙂 I got accepted lsa oos yesterday
💀💀
do the friday waves start in late february?
Probs
Or early march
They release deferrals in batches
Like the results
not just deferral it’s rd as a whole
honestly deferrals prob come later depending on when you submit the LOCI
Deferral acceptance to UMich is gonna be impossible
It’s like 15%
Like I haven’t seen a single person get rejected
Mich defers most
Wdym
Had a shitty app season
I’m sorry bae
i used a business plan i made last year in my business class
What’s this website called
Naviance
does umich send a physical decision letter if u get in
yeah website says so
stickers 🙀
wooho stickres!!!
where is that on naviance i can only see the scattergrams
ig ur school doesn’t show that
YEAH! if u have questions dm
YES STICKERS
@deft kindle is it okay if I dm you i have a few questions
ofc go ahead
STICKERS?
it says i have to friend request you is that okay?
yeah I'm fine w that
Is there any chance of being accepted in RD if deferred for Early?
Hi, do you mind if I ask you a few questions?
About admission to Umich
i think a ton of people got deferred so it’ll be super super competitive
My application became so much better after I applied, I think LOCIs are gonna help me 
same here
but im too bored to do it
cuz like
if u couldnt go over my app
why should i do extra work
fuckers
sure
does deferred have higher chances than rd?
yh
but only bc it means your profile was above a certain threshold
like you werent so bad they thought you had no chance in RD
yooooo did u get into gt?
i see thanks

i have wisco tho
so now i gotta pray the mfs give me money
wait fuck
i gotta do the honors app now too
Honors App for Mich @gritty flower ?
wisco
NOOO😭😭😭😭😭
deferred
but fair enough I can work with deferred
Dang, I didn’t know some colleges waited till early April lol
ahh : ( atb i hope u get in
umich says before 1 april
So basically April is the latest but it usually comes earlier?
yeah thats what yesterdays mail said
oh you got accepted ea?
thankuu
i wish i got in ea 😔
Yeah, I got accepted ea
congrats : )
i applied ea but my counselor sent the docs late
and i noticed the website had an appeal thingy in december
so ggs : (
just submitted my ECI 🙏🙏
I can’t imagine how that must feel 😭 Praying that you get in bro! You got this!
I’m very much so hoping for umich still
THANK YOU SM
APPRECIATE IT : (
gonna write the best loci they’ve ever seen
i wrote the most fire loci imaginable
💪 you’ve worked hard for this, no matter the outcome you should feel proud
tyy fsure
Did you just do why you’re still interested/what you’ve done?
it was a lot of what i’ve done since submitting, but there was a lot of big stuff. I ended it off by saying it’s still my top choice and I think i could contribute there etc.
Fr lad
I lowk think my updates saved me
I sent two
And the big one was my thing being presented in Houston this February
ive changed the dates on an honour
(a certification)
to show thats one of the things i did during application season
which i actually did do
but the agency a bit dumb and sent me wrong dates on the certi
that, and grades got good
Wait how did u send updates?
For early action
Sent email to my AO
ayyy fellow umich aero eng applicant
can u just send loci/updates through email?
i didnt know
they accept email stuff as part of process
they have a form on the portal
yeah i see that its just cuz the other guy said the AO mail thing
🥹 is it ok if i apply for RD because idk ppl are so doomposting when someone says they apply for CS for RD
i get scared
😂 oki i will apply then
not reaally expecting to get in but 🤤 why not
😝 miss every shot u dont takeeee
how many people do you know that didn't get in tho
when does um release EA data
a bunch of people
thank youu :D
anybody collecting stats on acceptance vs deferrals vs rejects?
probably like 10-80-10
thats just a guess though
everyone at my school except 1 kid (75 applicants) got deferred breh fuck umich (but lowkey plz accept me in RD and to Ross)
they probably gave the in state people a lot more attention, like they def read every one and if there were outliers they got accepted, but if anyone was clearly good enough they just got a defer
thats what i think at least, idk for sure
I really hope Umass could be as good as Umich lol
i cant believe I gotta wait another 2 months 
i heard most unis will only take 1 kid per school in early rounds esp if intl. i’m the only one in my school who got in ea out of maybe 15-20? rd is prob a different story
dont think 10% is plausible
oh really? at least 5 people got in EA at my school i think
just curious do you know how long they take to send acceptance packages a umich sticker would be so cute
oh then it’s prob more of an intl thing
maybe, i might just be a bit disillusioned though because my school sends a good chunk of the graduating class to michigan each year 😭
is your school a feeder? if it is that must be nice 😭
uhh i’m not sure if it’s considered a feeder?? about half of the seniors typically apply and they’ll accept around 35-40% and then most will enroll. i think last year like 47 of the probably 50-55 admitted seniors enrolled
jk naviance says 44 of the 51 accepted enrolled last year out of the 139 that applied
oh wow 51 accepted is a lot im guessing you’re in state? my schools only had 20 accepted total from 2004-2023 😭
are you near metro Detroit?
did you guys get ur aid packages
They don’t come out yet
Anyone have a prediction on when cs advance selection release date is?
IB business??
im using the one i made at duke's summer program lol
what im not doing ib
wat business class then lol?
oh it’s weird my school has a business magnet idk how to explain it but i graduate with naf certification and i take a business course every year and i get tons of certifications and we learn stuff like global business, accounting, personal finance, and entrepreneurship
hmmmm
and it’s a public school which is insane definitely one of the best schools in our district
do u do ap normally?
i cant convert that to IB lol
we're just restricted to 6 subjects
we can only take 6 classes a year and we can only pick 5 cause business class is mandatory if you’re in the business magnet
did you apply to ross?
In 9 days
Let’s go Feb 6th it is
ye
sounds lowkey like ib lol
we also take 6 a year
good luck 🫡 i rlly like doing the current event essay i thought it was fun

the one abt a problem u wanna solve?
ye im using my business plan for that one
the other im gonna use an F1 model design thing lol
that i did marketing on
Did anyone get into CS yet?
where did you see that
it legit is on ur acceptance letter 😭
yes yes
😶
I’ll be honest i was busy when i checked it and i just gave it a quick glance
thanks
PLS my mom made me send her a pdf
idk whether to apply for CoE or LSA
otherwise i would not have seen it either
yeah i misread it as i’ll get an email of acceptance in 10 days
Lol that’s funny
this is all my family got when they asked
Is there is an admitted students discord?
^^^need
me too
me three
me 4
umich i want to apply to u
is uiuc engineering > usc engineering

yes
deferred usc so i might withdraw coz i got uiuc and apply umich
uiuc #4 ranked in comp eng

If you applied for CS advance selection, is your profile entirely CS?
do we know the acceptance rate for this
No, they implemented it this year
maybe like 50% CS
can I apply for both CS advance selection and Taubman preferred admission or is it one or the other?
cs is my first choice, but I also want to indicate interest in taubman. won't do that if it jeopardizes cs chances
applying rd ofc
I'm interested in the urban technology program at taubman, if that makes a difference
Does anyone know how long it takes for the Ross decisions to come out after the regular ones
Also for my Ross business proposal I am talking about a business idea that I said I tried to start unsuccessfully in my supplementals. Would this be weird lol
what college were you accepted to?
nvm, urban technology isn't advanced selection but it's own 4-year major 🤷♂️
engineering
Hey guys!! Who got in EA? I’d appreciate feedback and help cramming 🙂 im an intl student btw
wdym cramming?

jfhgsjdkgsd
WWW
i got in, i thought i'd get yield protected
fuck CWRU tho lol how does UMich accept me but they don’t 😭😭
ong
i got into cwru last year w 34k yearly scholarship
for bme
and like
i chose to not go
Lol ya when I visited I got that vibe
same but its ew to live in
exactly
no rejects🫡
i wish that could happen to me
bro r u really gonna ED2 to BU after getting into umich 💀
dw Bro hold in there
Nah I’m switching to RD trust
@deft kindle do yk a lot of ppl that got postponed but got in
I literally did Ed2 cuz I was sure I was getting rejected from UMich lo
yeah. i got into BU RD, and umich EA, and chose between the two (+ UIUC and NEU), but like
BU gave me no scholarships or anything
Ya I think I could get in RD
and it was substantially more expensive than UMich OOS tuition full price
80k vs 59k
ye i did not bother with bu
idt its worth alll that is it 😭
but like i found i love ann arbor too, so i chose umich
yeah, its expensive, but much less in comparison to boston university lol
umich is one of my top schools but
bc I didn’t expect it
idk if its worth the oos cost :/
Thank god lol BU is too much 😭😭
Ann Arbor best town
bro i just want them to accept me
ann arbor is so awesome
which colleges
ask me any qs abt aa if u want
in dm
i might go downtown anyway and take some pics of downtown
later
today
whats aa
ooo send pics here
ann arbor
oh 😭
damn thats tough, mine went about the same
UMich : deferred
GTech : deferred
USC : deferred
Purdue : deferred
SUNY Buffalo : Accepted
all AE
people abbreviate ann arbor as AA, A2, A square, etc
waiting for UT Austin and then it's RD round
i think ive had 11 decisions so far 💀
ive had 10😭
ive had like 7 💀
I just wanna add idk how they took me for bio when I haven’t taken AP bio
Lol
I didn’t get to take chem either
I don’t think they admit by majors 😭
3 ppl in my family went to U-M and they all love ann arbor lmfao
im the first to get deferred 😎😎
mine was
UPenn: rejected (waitlisted last year)
Purdue: deferred (I was accepted last year...)
GT: deferred (waitlisted last year)
The doctor I shadowed went to UMich
u took a gap year?
He told me it was god status
yeah
o aiit
Lumich move
how come
again, deferred != rejection
u got into purdue and took a gap yr?
if you want to be considered, then write a LOCI
theyve probably not seen mine lmao
i wanna know if they didnt read mine so i got deferred or if they weren't sure
ye im working on it now just deciding what to put in it
its t5 for me
what they prob do is just defer all they dont get to, reject ppl who dont write a LOCI and consider those who do
probs t3 after gt rejection
if you don’t write a LOCI is it like 90% reject?
wanted to explore some stuff, been working full time as a software engineer for the last 8 months and it's been fun. have a much better idea of what I want to do during and after college
yeah. committed to UW-Madison with the hopes of deferring. wasn't able to.
did u have to write one?
lucky
wuts ur top choice now
thats acc rly valid. what was ur resume like that u were able to get a swe job out of hs if u dont mind
one of UIUC/UMich/GT. would be v happy going anywhere I applied though.
Madison's kinda my top safety if you can call it that.
i get wym wit uw cuz thats how i feel bout uva
not a safety by any means but my best chance for top schools rly
didn't have any CS related stuff except an year of amateur competitive programming, got the job basically through proving myself.
reached out to the CTO of a company just asking them how they implemented a tricky feature, they responded and were impressed with me. led to weekly mentorship sessions throughout senior year and translated to a job when I took a gap year
congrats
For my loci I talked abt what's happening in 2 ecs and GPA boost
And a sentence abt why umich
Like 250 doesn't give you enough to go into detail and stuff
exactly how i feel! i knew it was a reach esp bc i’m oos and thought i would be deferred/rejected but that shit still hurt
does anyone know when the RD waves will start for OOS?
ye
dont expect nun for a while
mid-year reports are optional right?
because my friend got in EA and she's wondering if she needs to send in a midyear report
my mid year report is kinda mid ngl
why?
fucked up one calc test and went from an A to a B+
whats ur grades
ffs
Not gonna be the end of you
3 As 3 B+ lowest grade was 87 ig
im ded
tru
not too bad
does it look good to have all As on the mid year report if ur deferred?
i didnt realize how busy sr year was going to be so
applications+ ecs+ 2 jobs+ moving
shit got fucked at some point
thats like common sense
of course?
i mean like
only thing bout mid year is im clearly going to bring it up : |
but final dont rly matter
so should i mention it in my loci or just leave it in my mid-year report
u only hv 250 words for ur loci
id say jus leave it on ur report
aight
unless u want to fill shit out
No that’s weird
wait riley did u get in
10-15%
most kids get deferred
srsly?
google said so
Of being accepted after yeah, but way higher of just being deferred
id imagine its high no?
deferred rate this year must have been over 50%
lots of ppl literally get deferred cuz they havent read it
like everyone fucking got deferred
same
ik 2 ppl LOL
im coping by telling myself that theyve read it and im competitive 
my app probably wasnt even read
is that even fair tho?
cuz like
everyone needs consideration
they read apps by region then high schools right?
fr?
because if they do that then im like 99.999999999% sure they read mine 
i think so but im not super sure
i'd assume so so that they can compare kids from the same school
personally its bs because if i waited for rd my app would be 2x better
but i did ea cuz i thought better chance
so lowkey pissed
yeah
if they defer so many, what is the point of EA?
jus extend the deadline
thatd be more fair
id rather they say decisions come out end of feb
then throw me in the rd pool
cuz wtf
Money
only like 2 kids a year get into umich from my school
so they probably just ignore us
Bc if they wait until regular, they won’t get as many applications
0 cuz none applied
did any UMich kids confirm this?
i mean for my school lol
because with 85k applications, they probably just took 2 seconds at my essay and was like "Next!"
didnt read shit
UC schools do pretty ok without EA
population of calli is crazy tbf
and anyone doing cs likely did Cal
they got rid of test scores as well tbh ion think many schools can do what they do and get away with it
Ong
me when i submitted my w&m app back in early dec and have to wait until april 🫶
💀
@turbid burrow What is the "bitch magnet" role lmfao
Alumni donors get to pick their colour LOL
lol okay
only cool kids get to obtain such a magnificent piece of art
You're funny
idk tho cuz barely anyone from my school applies and i got in
was the deferral rate actually that high or similar to gtech
are you oos?
thats insane
May I ask what abt
personal but it had a dystopian atmosphere
damn I wrote about chickens and monkeys
i revealed my insecurities
yeah a little
it is lol
the breaking ur arm playing a sport is basic also but u got in so alls well that ends well
no shot
damn
I did.
So their essay was obviously good
LOL
Don’t bash
dw bro its kinda random
yo also how did ur preferred admission thing look
i applied school of info also but i didnt know that came out w the decision
no one said he doesnt deserve it
fax
Idk I won’t speak on behalf of them; but I’ve had people degrade my essays before and it hurts; even though the essays were gas
mm ok so i didnt get it
Even if you’re not trying to be rude
no dont be sorry LOL i honestly didnt even know what it was until today ish
people dont know what they are talking about
my essay might sound cringe to other people but when its in the hands of AOs they are much more considerate
its Adults who have read thousands of essays versus mere teenagers
thats why i havent taken any suggestions
it removes ur ability to speak about urself in a genuine way
did you send ur SAT or go optional
Don’t think he would sent a 1080
some people send
i dont think its uncomon
I sent mines
nice
I’m not sure if u being real or I’m getting played
played
I sent my 1410 bc 760 math
slay math
😐
Did it for every school even it was below some 25th percentile
to everyone out there that didn't get in -- i was wholly surprised when i got in too becaused i've seen higher (1550) get defer
My rule was as long it’s only 60 pts below 25th percentile then send
being deferred is not a testament of your strenght
i'm sure that your essays were amazing
and that they accepted specifically to fill specific programs at the beginning
yeah that makes sense
