[reef dome]

Your religion could even work

Do u volunteer

[real pier]

i mean all my ecs are on my common app

[real pier]

im an atheist probably bordering on antitheist so nah

[real pier]

yea but like as part of an ec which is nhs and thats lame and boring

[reef dome]

☠️

[turbid burrow]

am i tripping or do u have an hour

[real pier]

you are correct

[reef dome]

Ok it’s ok y’all let’s keep thinking

What abt any strange talents?

[turbid burrow]

if u had more time lowkey u could spin this

[reef dome]

Maybe cup stacking or needle point

[real pier]

thats what i was thinking about with my scared of being extremely pretentious/savior idea

[turbid burrow]

it looking like chess fr

[carmine oyster]

heyyyyyy

[real pier]

bro i dont love chess that much

it was like the 7th one on my ec list

and like 2 hours a week LOL

[turbid burrow]

mm ye its an interesting lane but like a lot of work and though t is needed

[reef dome]

@real pier any talents/hobbies

[turbid burrow]

whats up

[reef dome]

NOT smth u said on common app

[carmine oyster]

nothing much

[reef dome]

Just a talent or hobby you do for fun

[carmine oyster]

submittin my umich rd app

[real pier]

nothing that wasnt on common app that i can think of

[turbid burrow]

games?

[reef dome]

What do you do in your free time

[turbid burrow]

want me to look at the essays last sec?

[real pier]

i wrote my main common app essay about roller coasters and ik that sounds dumb but its a freaking good essay

but thats already taken so :(

otherwise that would be this

[turbid burrow]

mm

[reef dome]

That sounds sick!

[turbid burrow]

ok u got any online communities

[carmine oyster]

umm there is one i would appreciate a review of

[reef dome]

Personally I would cry while reading that bc they terrify me

[carmine oyster]

but its kinda personal

[real pier]

not anything interesting bro, i got like 3500hrs on sb and almost as many on fortnite LOL

[carmine oyster]

i trust u

can i dm

[turbid burrow]

ye ofc

[reef dome]

Gaming might be ur best bet

Gaming>chess that you don’t care abt

[real pier]

uhhh,,,, online friends ? like a group of us? people dont think of us as real friends, but weve known each other forever and met irl earlier last year?

i dont know

[reef dome]

What has gaming taught you

[turbid burrow]

bro 😭

[reef dome]

Have you grown at all

[real pier]

idk learned to make friends or something idk

not good

[turbid burrow]

aint gon lie i see y u asked for help

[real pier]

its rough

im a good writer and good at spinning stuff but

[turbid burrow]

u from an interesting state or part of the country

[reef dome]

Ok ur rural right

[real pier]

rural pa where everyone is racist and homophobic

would rather not associate

[reef dome]

what’s it like being from a small town

[real pier]

sad

[turbid burrow]

do u have any friends that r like u (if yk wut i mean)

[carmine oyster]

yoyo s1ns do u mine looking asap (its due in 1 hour cause portfolio submission is early)

if not its fine i can submitt

[reef dome]

What age interests?

[real pier]

im kinda lacking on irl friends after funny situation happened but uhh

yeah idk

[reef dome]

Like things you’re interested in

Plagues, horror, etc

[real pier]

i love computers but im applying as comp sci major like

they know that

and its not really a community

most of my online communities are like around games that i love

which is boring

gaming is like worst thing to talk about on app

"gamers are most oppressed minority" type beat

[reef dome]

Yeah agreed

But this is kinda hard

[real pier]

boutta go to sleep and say sorry umich i didnt want to go there anyway LOL

nah not really

im gonna have to reuse though for real

[reef dome]

What r ur reusing options

[real pier]

that one that sounds pretentious about like change i wanted to see or something

uhh i wrote a couple of why major essays

but that hardly works

[reef dome]

I meant what ec’s

[real pier]

oh

uh

[proper violet]

umich is so so cute 🫶🏻

[real pier]

ski club, roller coaster org, german club nhs, chess club

thats all i still do

[reef dome]

Which of those is ur closet community

One that you actually enjoy and have learned stuff from/grown in

[real pier]

second one

[proper violet]

or if you have a job

[real pier]

and i wrote my common app essay about it

so no

[proper violet]

bc thats what i wrote about

[real pier]

and no i dont have a job already tried that sorry

[proper violet]

Do you collect?

[turbid burrow]

hm sports?

[real pier]

nah no sports sorry and no i dont collect anything really at least not like

enough for me to care or write engagingly

what if i talk about like

[cosmic plinth]

what about like where you live

ur church

idk

some bullshit

[proper violet]

hmm

[real pier]

we talked about my extreme disassociation i feel with where i live because its rural pa and theyre all racist and homophobic

[cosmic plinth]

you could literally write about a discord server

[real pier]

and ig theres a few people that arent and i could write about them but

[real pier]

i could try

[cosmic plinth]

if you seem passionate that's all that matters

[turbid burrow]

aint gon lie u gon hv to bs something

[real pier]

i know i know

[reef dome]

JD what r ur other essays

Make sure those r great to accommodate

[real pier]

do i talk about a discord server with online friends ive met over the years and people dont think we're real friends bc its online but we all care about each other and met late 2022 irl and it was great

[proper violet]

hm maybe rather than focusing on the racism maybe focus on how your friends made you glad to be where you at rn and without them you would be in a far less enjoyable society

[turbid burrow]

whatd yall bond over?

[rose flume]

Damn r u writing those essays now? Jd?

[turbid burrow]

games or jus being friends

[reef dome]

Seems kinda basic

Rural could be better

[real pier]

i dont have irl friends they all ghosted me after a nasty breakup
like literally

[turbid burrow]

ye id say that

[real pier]

yes LOL

[rose flume]

Damn lol 😂

[real pier]

maybe

[turbid burrow]

gotta be the fuckin flash fr

[real pier]

[rose flume]

Is it due in like an hour?

[turbid burrow]

yep

[real pier]

less games than anything else

[proper violet]

[real pier]

ok i gotta start writing

[proper violet]

[turbid burrow]

[proper violet]

[vague abyss]

[turbid burrow]

[turbid burrow]

Yuh huh

[vagrant sequoia]

[stable folio]

did you apply to yale?

oh that message is kinda old

well. if you did the yale community essay it’s perfectly reusable for mich

just cut down 100 words

[cedar token]

I'd honestly save it, especially if you feel your other apps are good

[reef dome]

U have like less than an hr

[cedar token]

Depends on TZ, but yea

[reef dome]

Either way

Cramming isn’t a good strat

Unless it’s in ur top 5, I wouldn’t

[cedar token]

Speaking of which, I need to put the finishing details on this essay

[carmine oyster]

omg

[carmine oyster]

valid

[near patrol]

Cmu everything goated lol

[turbid burrow]

cmu scary

didnt apply

[hot moat]

when will advance sel to CS be announced 😭

[carmine oyster]

cmu expensive

[hot moat]

probably this friday right

[carmine oyster]

did u get in EA?

[hot moat]

yes

[carmine oyster]

sheesh

prob soon

[turbid burrow]

wen will my decision be announced

[hot moat]

but my acceptance is useless if i dont get CS

[carmine oyster]

LSA?

[hot moat]

CoE

[turbid burrow]

true

[near patrol]

Everyone ik got deferred :/

[carmine oyster]

oh

[turbid burrow]

same (ik no one irl who applied)

[carmine oyster]

lol I applied to CoE and didn't choose advance selection

[turbid burrow]

y not

lol

[carmine oyster]

i like their comp eng program

lots of freedom

[turbid burrow]

fair

[hot moat]

my whole profile is CS so they should accept me

[carmine oyster]

so i was leaning to that anyway, but i didnt want to jeopardize anything extra

by choosing cs preferred

[turbid burrow]

im kind of like a cs+math + creative writing minor LMFAO

[carmine oyster]

certain schools i really like comp eng programs

[carmine oyster]

this is hot

[turbid burrow]

it makes sense in context

[turbid burrow]

sounds all over the place till i explain

[hot moat]

cs+math is nice

probably rigorous though

[carmine oyster]

i will probably double major or at least minor with something humanties dude; i cant handle that much engineering and cs

like i can handle it but i need

also things that are not it

if that makes sense

[turbid burrow]

eh im down for it tho

[carmine oyster]

looking at a communications double major at UMD rn

[turbid burrow]

gotta do advanced math regardless

[carmine oyster]

very interested

[hot moat]

yup

[turbid burrow]

thats cool

[hot moat]

they should've announced CS results with decision

this is not nice at all

[turbid burrow]

i literally started writing so i didnt fail lit

[vague beacon]

you folks already got decision out?

[carmine oyster]

EA

[turbid burrow]

became a huge hobby

[carmine oyster]

@turbid burrow i applied cs+advertising at UIUC

i am in love with that program

[turbid burrow]

now i want to release an anthology

[carmine oyster]

omg do it

[vague beacon]

nice! i’m transfer so i think mine takes a bit longer

[turbid burrow]

i wouldve done something else but applied last sec tbh

[carmine oyster]

wait s1ns can u send me something youve written (if youre like comfortableofc)

[vague beacon]

rooting for the AOs

[carmine oyster]

[turbid burrow]

ye igu

[vague beacon]

[carmine oyster]

okokok tyy

[vague beacon]

but i only have one semes under my belt

[carmine oyster]

oh i see

[vague beacon]

so that will give me some difficulty

[carmine oyster]

i guess i never updated it

[turbid burrow]

r u at cc rn?

[turbid burrow]

fair enough

[turbid burrow]

u wanted to gtfo 😭😭

[vague beacon]

nah i’m currently at

the U of Rochester

[vague beacon]

nah see

i actually don’t dislike my school

but when i applied

[turbid burrow]

heard the name

[vague beacon]

i was gonna be a bio major

but then i didn’t like it

and chose CS instead

yeye

i actually turned down a few better cs schools too when i applied so

hopefully that’s good enough reason for them

[turbid burrow]

me who wanted to do medicine till jr year then switched to cs

i feel u

[turbid burrow]

ah i see

[vague beacon]

[turbid burrow]

i mean same with half the thread lol

[vague beacon]

haha they prob got a lot of applicants

[turbid burrow]

ye

i mean my problem is my rd was way better than my ea

so if they not even gon read it what was the point

[vague beacon]

wdym by that one

i didn’t apply to mich last year

[turbid burrow]

also since they did so many its not even like i got deferred cuz i was close lmao

[vague beacon]

so i’m not familiar with their ea rd system

[vague beacon]

well maybe you’re well qualified

and they just didn’t read your stuff

yet

[turbid burrow]

like my rd apps were way better but bc u-m had ea i did ea hoping id have a slight advantage

[vague beacon]

oh ok

[turbid burrow]

but they deferred so many so it seems like a waste now

[vague beacon]

what are stats if you don’t mind asking?

[turbid burrow]

couldve waited and had better essays

[vague beacon]

can pm if you don’t wanna share here

[turbid burrow]

[carmine oyster]

omg

i also did those

except rice

[vague beacon]

LETS GOOO

yeah i threw rice in there

cuz

[carmine oyster]

maybe we go to same school W

[vague beacon]

here’s an interesting thing about transferring

[carmine oyster]

yeah

[vague beacon]

if CS is classified as engineering at that school

IE gatech, cmu, ucs etc

they have a lot of requirements

that you have to fulfill

before you can transfer

[carmine oyster]

but if theyre LS u dont

[turbid burrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qn5YDZ5Lg0w&t=944s

[carmine oyster]

thats validd

[vague beacon]

so since i only have one semes

yeppp

[turbid burrow]

i think that was it

[vague beacon]

exactky

[carmine oyster]

ohh i see !

so did you do like physics/cs at usc?

[vague beacon]

last admission cycle i actually got guaranteed transfer to gatech

was gonna go for it

[carmine oyster]

or how did u avoid viterbi

[vague beacon]

but it’s arts and science only

[carmine oyster]

but reqs?

ahh i got that this year!

[vague beacon]

i think they have less requirements

[turbid burrow]

(was waitlist acc but still)

[carmine oyster]

oh i gotchy

[vague beacon]

cuz i was gonna be a bio major

[carmine oyster]

oh thats valid

[vague beacon]

AYYY

Amherst was my dream school

haha

[carmine oyster]

oh my god

[vague beacon]

[carmine oyster]

i had my LAC phaseeee

[vague beacon]

[carmine oyster]

[turbid burrow]

bro i got a swarthmore fee waiver but i didnt notice till after the app

[vague beacon]

that school

amazing in so many ways

[carmine oyster]

its not even worth applying to swarthmore

fee waiver is just app farming

[turbid burrow]

didnt apply but lowkey regret

[carmine oyster]

they matriculate like 500 a year

[turbid burrow]

it was through questbridge ig

[carmine oyster]

ohh i see

[turbid burrow]

[carmine oyster]

yes

[vague beacon]

oh actually i think i can’t apply for USC

[turbid burrow]

i aint even know allat

[vague beacon]

that’s actually good news

[carmine oyster]

cause LAC small class sizes

[carmine oyster]

why not?

[vague beacon]

i was abt to write 4 essays

phew

now i can not stress abt it

[carmine oyster]

reqs?

[vague beacon]

[turbid burrow]

[carmine oyster]

ah ok

[vague beacon]

yep yep

[turbid burrow]

only did rice

didnt care to go to colorady

[vague beacon]

u know that lac

[carmine oyster]

you can do like physics/cs or something in uhhhhhh

[vague beacon]

harvey mudd

[carmine oyster]

yes

[vague beacon]

absolute insane school

[carmine oyster]

hmc is kinda slay

[turbid burrow]

and withdrew uchicago

[carmine oyster]

HMC > Caltech

[vague beacon]

what’s crazy to me

is that claremont

has like 4 like

top tier LACs

all in that lil town

they got

[carmine oyster]

and u can take classes between

so i can go to like HMC and then do like a major in english from pomona as well

[vague beacon]

HMC (cs dream it’s literally one of the best tech feeders in the world)
Claremont mckenna (100 percent med school admit apparently)
Pomona (self explanatory)
and 1 more i forgot

ppl living in claremont lucky

[vague beacon]

that would be pretty awesome

[vague beacon]

might honestly be true

[turbid burrow]

i shldve researched LACs more lol

[vague beacon]

nah man

[turbid burrow]

dads not a big fan of them tho so there was that

[vague beacon]

they say like

acceptance rates are ok

but realistically

getting into an LAC is incredibly difficult

so it’s not bad to apply to bigger colleges

[vague beacon]

let me guess, asian parents?

[turbid burrow]

african not far off

[carmine oyster]

same thing in these contexts

tbh

LOL

go to R1 research school

or you die

[turbid burrow]

expectations go crazy lol

[carmine oyster]
