Early april is what UMich has said

It was March 25th last year

[lone spade]

bet

Appreciate it

[ornate moat]

HELP DID YOU GUYS ALSO GET REJECTED FROM PENN 😭

[reef dome]

YES

[ornate moat]

oh my god same.

ig we all just penn rejects

whatever my friends went to the penn speech and debate tournament and they cheered me up by saying that the campus was ugly 😭

[outer hornet]

LMAO i think i remember u from the thread

im a fellow wharton reject

LMAO my counselor told me she went on the train passing by upenn and stuck out her middle finger bc i got rjeected

[ornate moat]

AWWWWW

THATS SO WHOLESOME

my counselor is soo scary

shes probably the counselor with the most experience in our school and the only time she seemed nice and wholesome was when i got rejected from penn 😭

[young breach]

Yes lol

[ornate moat]

wait are the names with the A D and R like the acceptances, deferrals, and rejections 😭 ?

[reef dome]

Penn reject>cornell and Michigan accept

[ornate moat]

CORNELL !!

[ornate moat]

THATS SO COOL

[outer hornet]

i love her sm she gave me a big hug and always smiles at me she’s so sweet

and she always brags ab me to the principal 😭

[ornate moat]

AWWW THATS SO NICE :'))

i went through 4 whole counselors throughout my high school life

[turbid burrow]

ive been at mine since jr year and ive had 3 😐

[outer hornet]

I got lucky too bc ours are sorted by last name alohabet

alphabet

i gave mine a gift for Christmas and she gave me a thank u card and at the bottom she wrote “im so proud of u”

and that was just 💖💖

[ornate moat]

AWWW

sounds like such a wholesome counselor

[young breach]

yea lol

[silk halo]

does umich allow to send mid year transcripts for regular decision or will they only accept the eoci thing

[warm topaz]

I think you send in mid year transcripts

At least I did

Also quick question

If someone was to get deferred from UMich OOS but accepted to UNC Chapel Hill OOS (both EA), could one conclude that they have a slightly better chance than the typical applicant at getting admitted to UMich in RD?

Asking for a friend

[cloud shadow]

lemme flip the script i got umich oos ea what’s my luck at unc rd 💀

[turbid burrow]

different schools, different criteria, different essays, different oos and in state quotas but both of yall r smart so you def hv a chance but theres quite literally no one to one comparison

[warm topaz]

Based response

Thanks for ur honesty

[warm topaz]

Good job on the scholarship btw

Impressive

[cloud shadow]

i think we both got in tbh. likelies coming tomorrow

[turbid burrow]

i mean if u got into either ur def smart enough for the other just that whether or not ur in is up for debate

between aos

[warm topaz]

I haven’t submitted my LOCI yet lol

I don’t know if that affects it though

[turbid burrow]

lmfao submit ur loci asap

[warm topaz]

I have one written, I just have to make sure it can’t be improved upon

Before I submit

[turbid burrow]

fair

[flat perch]

i dont have to do the loci thing if i applied rd right

[turbid burrow]

no

[warm topaz]

Do you know how much when you submit your loci will affect admissions decisions

I’d think it wouldn’t matter, but please correct me if I’m wrong

[turbid burrow]

idt itll matter nearly as much as ur original application

U-M seems particularly concerned by this looking at what they said on the LOCI form

and the haard limit

so i think jus giving updates and a bit of meat riding would suffice

[warm topaz]

What I meant to ask was when you submit it, like are you at an advantage if you submit it early

Of course everyone will have to meet March 17 deadline

[turbid burrow]

o

um

maybe xD

if they alr didnt get to evry applicant id assume theyd want it asap

so they can hit rd deadline

this is anecdotal tho

no one knows except aos

[warm topaz]

Damn I should submit it by this Friday then

[turbid burrow]

altho based on this ion see no reason not to

it doesnt weigh as much as essays

[warm topaz]

I know I just can’t let things go 😓

I’ll get it in asap then

[outer hornet]

likelies for what

also em check ur dms

[crisp current]

insane congrats! stats?

[worthy orbit]

by march 17th with no preference on when

[crisp current]

colleges say no preference but i would submit asap

[night epoch]

What if you don’t send it?

Does UMich require you provide it?

[turbid burrow]

ye prolly

[reef dome]

Meeee

[reef dome]

Demonstrated disinterest

[night epoch]

Rlly tho?

I mean I’ll write my loci

But idk if I wanna go out of my way and ask my counselor how to get a mid year report

Like it’s a very complex system at my school

[reef dome]

Imagine this

[night epoch]

If I have to do it as a last resort I would

[reef dome]

A school asks kids to write an essay showing that they still want to go

A kid doesn’t do it

The school likely concludes that they dont rly want to go

[night epoch]

Do they ask for mid year report tho?

[reef dome]

Bc they couldn’t even bother to spent an hr on an essay

[night epoch]

I have a C tho and a couple B grades

Idk if that’ll make it worse for me

[reef dome]

Yes that would

[night epoch]

Yeah so idk if I should send my grades or not

[reef dome]

You have to send your grades

[night epoch]

It’s a dilemma

Darn

Well they made the choice for me so 🤷‍♂️

[reef dome]

Either submit grades or essay

[night epoch]

Oh wait

“Or”

[reef dome]

And it’s already sorta late to do this loci

[night epoch]

Yep

[reef dome]

So get it done asap

[night epoch]

It’s due March 17th tho?

Right?

[reef dome]

Yes

But decisions came out a month ago already

The earlier you get it done, the better

[night epoch]

Hmmmm alr

Thanks

I’m hoping they won’t consider when I submit it

Cuz my first draft sucks

[ornate moat]

@cloud shadow i called umich finaid office!! they said that the scholarship SHOULD be added on top of the entire aid, though they didn't sound absolutely sure since they weren't the ross financial aid office, and that ross should update the financial aid package in the coming few days

sorry for the ping !!

[cloud shadow]

no don’t be at all!! thank u sm for the update!! i was so unsure whether i should be happy or not about it 😭

[fickle cloak]

Do y’all think it’s worth applying to the LSA Honors College? Like what’s good about it.

Their website really didn’t have much info

[vague beacon]

special housing, honors degree, honors classes

i personally think i might

[dense jolt]

Do u know when UMich notifies abt scholarships?

[inland skiff]

I think some got scholarships with their financial aid decision

[fickle cloak]

Yeah of us already got ours. I think they are working on it and sending a few out each day or week

[dense jolt]

Ok cuz lowk I need like SOMETHING

just anything

[verbal granite]

i applied

[weary crypt]

guys don’t apply so i can get in 🤭

[fickle cloak]

Now I feel like applying. Thank you for reviving my internal spirit

[vague beacon]

the honors college isn't that hard to get into

it's more of a whether or not you wanna go kinda thing

[slate oar]

guaranteed central campus housing

and some more interesting first year classes that skip pre recs

but neither of those are really consequential things

[slate oar]

you dont send them, your counselor does

through the commonapp link

[weary crypt]

hahaha np

i was trying for 2/8 deadline but that was just screwed 💀

[slate oar]

lsa 4 year schol is rolling

once youve submitted

and if u need need based finaid, that should be out already

[weary crypt]

rly? didn’t they say <1 in 10

[weary crypt]

wait what

[slate oar]

its not lol its like a rolling thing

my friend's in it

[weary crypt]

scholarship is rolling?

[slate oar]

yea they say u have higher chance the earlier u apply

[weary crypt]

[slate oar]

bc once the shols r gone theyre gone

[weary crypt]

i’ve been ignoring the emails

[slate oar]

[weary crypt]

LMAOOO

💀💀💀

[vague beacon]

im pretty sure it's not that difficult

[slate oar]

if you need a scholarship

like

[weary crypt]

brainless

[vague beacon]

but from what i've heard

[slate oar]

its not ik kids in it

[vague beacon]

fyi

the program doesn't do all that much

[slate oar]

unless u really care ab being on central campus

[weary crypt]

i do lol

[slate oar]

which is totally understand

[vague beacon]

i don't think i'll app to i

[slate oar]

ok then apply to honors for sure

[weary crypt]

for researc^

[vague beacon]

i want to do more internships

[slate oar]

central is really nice

[vague beacon]

n stuff

[slate oar]

near the diag and state street

[weary crypt]

[vague beacon]

is it still central after first year

[weary crypt]

[slate oar]

[vague beacon]

i'll be going to mich as a sophomore

[slate oar]

LOL

[vague beacon]

[slate oar]

yeah

umich doesnt send likelies

thats uchicago ivies and duke

[vague beacon]

[slate oar]

[vague beacon]

honors still has central housin

for second years

cuz if no

[weary crypt]

WHAT

[vague beacon]

i'm not gonna apply

lmao

[weary crypt]

ok. i am so clueless

[slate oar]

youre gonna want at least like a day to do it

[weary crypt]

💀

[slate oar]

you have to explain why you need the scholarship

[weary crypt]

okokok

[slate oar]

and also how youre gonna manage finances in colege

[weary crypt]

tysm lmao

[slate oar]

it was a struggle lol

it was hard to get into umich then immediately go and write 6 more essays

💀

[weary crypt]

😦

exactly

i didn’t even wanna write honors

[slate oar]

to be fair i used princeton and yale kinda

[weary crypt]

ok good i have those

[slate oar]

so it wasnt fully new essays

[pine lantern]

I could not be bothered to do Umich honors 😭

That one essay was

[vague beacon]

honestly at this point me too

lmao

[fickle cloak]

yeah that 250 essay is light work

but 1000 💀

questions r weird too

[ornate moat]

the scholarship updated for me !!

the official award notice didnt however the award summary did

[weary crypt]

took me 20 mins lol and it’s on par with my why NU and why columbia which i worked on a lot 🤣

[fickle cloak]

i mean it's really the same format as our why umich essay but with different info

[night epoch]

Does my counselor need to send it tho

In other words is it required

[slate oar]

yes

they need your midyear grades for the rd decision

[night epoch]

Does it necessarily say that?

[turbid burrow]

idk y u dont wanna send it
yes they want else they wouldnt have deferred u its a req for rd as well iirc
and if they dont take it they wont consider it

@night epoch would u rather get this lmao

[night epoch]

I got a C last semester

That’s not good

And a couple B’s

Idk if that’ll look good

[slate oar]

dawg

lol

it is

required

you can look it up if you dont believe me😭

youre gonna get your app withdrawn if the materials arent complete

[high nebula]

they accept 450/1800

[slate oar]

it doesnt matter you need to have it sent

[night epoch]

Nah I’ll submit it

[slate oar]

bro you only have one option💀

[night epoch]

Ik

Hmmmmmmm

senior year slip

Anyways thanks for the info

I don’t want my application withdrawn

[warm topaz]

I submitted my loci

Hope it’s not too late lol

It’d be a bummer if they didn’t consider my application because I sent the loci now, I think I have a good chance of getting in

[turbid burrow]

its before deadline so obv they will

[warm topaz]

And they’ll see my loci?

It’s not like they’ve made the decisions already?

I know I sound neurotic right now but y’all have me worried

[reef dome]

Nah they just start reviewing when you submit

[cloud shadow]

yesss omg i see it now!! thank god it was on top of everything

thanks letting me know!!!

live laugh love mich

[fickle cloak]

u committed?

[cloud shadow]

no i have commitment issues

it’s still 17k not including loans & work study option they gave me

so we shall see

but for oos they def gave me a good chunk

[fickle cloak]

oh bc on my award notice. the loans r not on the accepted side

[cloud shadow]

oh….? well erm unless i payed the enrollment deposit in my sleep

idk why it says that

i thought that was weird too

[fickle cloak]

here's what mines look like

loans and work study isn't calculated

[fickle cloak]

lol

[ornate moat]

WOOO

[fickle cloak]

congrats! 72k in aid?

[ornate moat]

thank you 🥹🥹

[fickle cloak]

[warm topaz]

Congrats @ornate moat

[cosmic plinth]

[ornate moat]

thank you guys

[reef dome]

@ornate moat

Late but dude huge congrats!!!

[ornate moat]

thank youu !!!

[fickle cloak]

Search financial aid offer

Then press new prospective student

Then click view something like documents

[cosmic plinth]

it says view/print, but there isn't an upload button for some reason

[fickle cloak]

There was a upload button right beside view/print when I did it

[chilly gate]

hey, about to submit my loci, can I get someone to look at it really quick?

[fickle cloak]

i can give it a glance

[stuck cypress]

too late to submit loci yet?

[high nebula]

No

[stuck cypress]

did they give an official deadline?

also what if i haven’t done anything of note since november in terms of awards/achievements

[snow lake]

march 17th

[high nebula]

most applicants won’t have

just reaffirm your interest in the school

[rose flume]

lol ross really flexed on me like that

[rare swift]

I got in…

[night epoch]

congrats 🎉

[rare swift]

Thx

Good luck to everyone in the discord, best of luck

[rose flume]

damn W

[rose flume]

if u dont mind, what were the stats that u applied with?

[plucky marlin]

With Ross and engineering being so competitive I wonder what the AR is for less competitive schools

[rose flume]

fr

[stray adder]

Same, CS tho

[vague beacon]

let’s go, me too!

[fickle cloak]

What are the classes first year at UMich for CS? cuz i got in for cs too

[outer hornet]

did u submit SAT

[rare swift]

I al an international. I applied with the IB Curriculum and had a GPA of 6.5/7 and somewhat hard classes. I got a 1460 SAT. And also got accepted to Engineering. I had very good ECs

[rare swift]

1460

[rose flume]

wait wat

i also did ib

but i dont think we convert it into like 6.5/7 lol

[stray adder]

[rare swift]

All of IB grades go from 1-7 and my year’s GPA was 6.5

[languid sonnet]

for EOCI

should i talk abt UMMich

since i applied RD

or can i talk abt new achievements

[inland skiff]

Both

[rose flume]

ik ik im doing ib bro

[frosty elk]

does mich do yield protect

[reef dome]

No

Why?

[frosty elk]

its fine then someone told me that that is why the defer a lot of ppl

w 75 percnetile above sat

[reef dome]

No lmao

Michigan is a t25

They aren’t deferring people just because they have a high sat

[ornate hare]

they’re known for not getting to a lot of apps ea so they defer

[carmine lagoon]

I really wonder how they decide which apps to review, because mine was submitted last-minute and I was accepted EA

[solemn elm]

Is there a wave today?

[turbid burrow]

Location maybe

Most schools have regional AOs

[carmine lagoon]

i talked to my AO, really young guy. guess he was on top of everything, lol

[turbid burrow]

Ye fair enough

[vast current]

I'm hoping... last friday of feb

[solemn elm]

Ig not

[vast current]

see ya next friday

[stuck cypress]

do i have to address my umich loci to my regional ao

or can i just say "to whom it may concern"

[reef dome]

Dont do either

Kinda awk

[stuck cypress]

then what do i do 💀

[reef dome]

Don’t address them id day

Id say

Just like foremost, I truly appreciate you reviewing my application for the regular decision cycle

To whom it may concern wastes 5 words

[stuck cypress]

is it worth mentioning that i got national merit finalist or nah

[ornate hare]

I think prolly location. Submitting last minute won’t affect it bc they won’t begin reading until after deadline passes

Plus if you’re an AO you prob want to wave all apps from a location at once

[astral halo]

I like I just went "Hi there!" On my LOCI

[languid sonnet]

do i even have to talk ab umich on my eoci

i just submitted the app 25 days ago

idk

[high nebula]

yeah if you don’t have much else to say def mention it

[rose flume]

would it be a good thing if i just talked abt a new ec?

[modest nexus]

yeah that's fine too

[wanton edge]

just to get a rough idea when the rd results come out, when did they come out last year? like it says early april but i’d life to get a rough estimate which date

[humble reef]

in waves on Friday afternoons up to early april

or at least they've done that before

[cosmic plinth]

So could it come next friday

I thought there was one at feb end march end and april but idk lol

[humble reef]

theres set dates for ross uh idk if they coincide with overall admission though

[cosmic plinth]

yeah

[solemn elm]

Are extra Letters of Rec accepted after being deferred?

[humble reef]

uhm

i think they specified on the top of the loci that they arent taking any extra information

[solemn elm]

Asking for a friend

[humble reef]

besides whats written in those 250 words

[solemn elm]

👍thanks

[cosmic plinth]

yeah i emailed my officer (same question) and he said only the loci is considered

[humble reef]

what the person can mention is like if theres a specific achievement/thing that happened that the letter would describe, they could just mention it from their own perspective

[reef dome]

@solemn elm main reason you can’t is bc unfair advantage

They only consider what YOU say in 250 words

And they don’t have time Lmao

[thin cove]

oh so updates are fine right?

cuz mine were accepted

after submitting the eoci

[humble reef]

updates in the sense of whatever u mentioned in your eoci? yeah, if you send something in besides that, I dont think they'll consider it

[thin cove]

naa, updates as in new ECs after submitting the eoci

they accepted it

[humble reef]

as in that u sent something in and they received it?

[thin cove]

oh naa i sent it via mail to my intl AO

and she said she will be adding it to my admissions file

[humble reef]

I have no idea if they would count that or not but I mean best of luck

I'll maybe ask my counselor next week if she has any possible info on release dates

[thin cove]

yepp thank you

[stuck cypress]

is it worth just mentioning awards n stuff on my loci and that umich is my first choice

or should i mention anything else

mine is just about a class change some awards and stuff i did and the fact that umich is my top choice

is that fine?

[ornate marten]

when are locis due?

[reef dome]

17

[reef dome]

Why you still like mich

[stuck cypress]

good point

im at 250 so i migth need to remove something

[slate oar]

i keep getting these emails too

like damn i got into lsa guys💀

[carmine lagoon]

hey, for those applying to LSA honors, how did you format the essay document? did you keep the prompts in?

[proper violet]

I put it in 12 pt font times new roman

then titled each prompt like Essay 1 and Essay 2 #3

i did not keep the prompts in

[carmine lagoon]

thanks!

[rose flume]

lol

[blazing barn]

do RD people have to do the LOCI as well?

[cosmic plinth]

No

[blazing barn]

ok

[ornate hare]

if mich is your first choice def mention that

[young breach]

is it ok to say "Michigan" instead of "Uni of Michigan" in my LOCI due to limited word count?

[cosmic plinth]

yea

[young breach]

btd battles?

[cosmic plinth]

yessir

[wanton edge]

just say U-M that’s what they call themselves

btw a loci is kinda pointless for rd applicants right?

[ornate marten]

you can say UMich

[night epoch]

Yes

But I mean if you rlly wanted to write one

You could

But idk if they’ll consider it

Wouldn’t hurt to try

🤷‍♂️

[wanton edge]

nah man, i got mocks and too many worries in life to rack my head over another 250 word essay😂

[rose flume]

umich :>

[verbal granite]

rizzigan

[surreal tendon]

I applied RD and they sent me an email 2 days later I can submit one. Why wouldn’t they consider it if they give me the option to do it?

[night epoch]

👍

[fickle cloak]

UMich ain’t gonna rescind my offer if my AP Physics grade drop to a C would they? Like I have 4.0 until now and all my other 4 AP classes r a A

[stray adder]

Doubt

Even Stanford doesn't

[fickle cloak]

Ok great

Don’t think imma let it drop to a C tho. 😤

[turbid burrow]

honestly

im aiming for at least a B for rest of the year

in everything

[slate heart]

As long as you don’t have multiple Cs or fail a class you should be fine lol

I’ve only heard of people getting warning letters over stuff like that

[turbid burrow]

over Bs or failing lmao

[night epoch]

No

[fickle cloak]

over a B would be wild

😂

[night epoch]

Yeah

It starts with a C

Well more than 1 C

[turbid burrow]

ye i was thinking xD

[turbid burrow]

ill prolly hv 1 C if anth

[night epoch]

I have 1 so far

[plucky marlin]

Me with calc

[crisp current]

I'm not sure if this is true, but I heard that many people who applied to EA got automatically deferred because they submitted their applications so close to the deadline and UMich received so many EA applicants.

[outer hornet]

yea it’s true

they defer ppl they didn’t get to read

[turbid burrow]

maybe move back the deadline then

[cosmic plinth]

Is this confirmed or

[fickle cloak]

uh i submitted mines a day before and didn't get deferred lol

[cosmic plinth]

Link a source

[fickle cloak]

so like prob the "didn't have time to read" part but "close to deadline" part is not true

[cosmic plinth]

Agreed

Why would a university take that into account when reviewing apps

[fluid swift]

yeah i submitted at 4pm on nov 1 and got in so the time you submit shouldn’t matter

[old dove]

anyone know when the first wave of deferred comes?

[cosmic plinth]

march 24 i think

dont think theyll release anything before that

[stuck cypress]

so there’s no point in submitting the loci early then right

[verbal granite]

i submitted on the deadline

oh wait nvm confused with another

submitted on the 26th

[vague beacon]

chill bro

recinds don't happen that much

ur good

[cosmic plinth]

nah idts i submitted like 3 weeks ago

[rose flume]

ye my friend grades dropped alot after he got into umich

in his last term and in his APs

he just sent them an email explaining how his over-commitment, over-excitement and just bullshit his way outa danger zone lol

btw when will UMich release their decisions for RD?

it says on the portal early april is the last date but it doesn't say when decisions starts going out

[cosmic plinth]

i think late march it starts

[turbid burrow]

fair enough

[rose flume]

wow i thought its like mid march or sth

[cosmic plinth]

idk since loci due on 17th

so maybe week after that

[ornate marten]

Yea dw

U fine

[quartz harbor]

i submitted around 23:30 on the last day

[vague beacon]

@turbid burrow today i learned that

my recs never went thru...

i just got in without recs...

stressed

non of my teachers uploaded

[haughty pawn]

would be fine for almost everywhere but depends on the uni

A friend got a warning from Caltech for an 84/100 in English 😬😬😬

it's still graded as an A for us 😭

[stray adder]

Who tryna go to caltech anyways 🙄

[haughty pawn]

imagine going to a private uni in california smh

[stray adder]

Sounds lame fr smh

[hot moat]

What did it say

also I assume you're talking about midterm grades?

[haughty pawn]

final. happened in co26

[haughty pawn]

ah, not technically an admission warning but they literally asked him to do a course that he placed out of, on the basis of HS grades

[hot moat]

oh wow

but im guessing this is caltech being caltech

and not all colleges would do this

also lol this just shows that english exams don't measure how good you are at english

[ornate hare]

“it has been observed,” “Curiously,” lol

[stray adder]

Oh that's not a warning

[cosmic plinth]

when are decisions going to / speculate to come out (ping me when replying pls)?

[fickle cloak]

fated to get in so that not sending in ur loci didn't even matter 😂

[turbid burrow]

Wait fr?

[languid sonnet]

bro

how much can my grades dropp

my final grades are 5 A 1 A*

sem grades were 3 A 3A*

[random minnow]

If it says “downloaded” next to each one on the common app, does that mean they submitted?

[fickle cloak]

Bro u have an A what is there to worry about

Ppl out here worrying about B’s and C’s

Not no A 😭

[vague beacon]

yeah

cuz

i realized non of my profs submitted theirs yet

LMAO

[vague beacon]

i’m not sure, i’m a transfer so our common apps a bit dif

[random minnow]

Oh okay thanks

[vague beacon]

oh nah i meant recommendation letters

[languid sonnet]

well my semester grades are in Cs and Bs

but my gpa is calculated thru the overall grade of both semesters

so will colleges care about the semester 2 grades or nah

[reef dome]

Yes

[random minnow]

Semester 2 of this year?

[cerulean wagon]

If they're truly abhorrent

You get rescinded

But it needs to be pretty bad

[random minnow]

If that’s your question consider it like this;
They don’t consider it for admissions, so it’s not a huge deal if you don’t have perfect grades
BUT
If you totally step out and do nothing all the semester they’ll rescind

Yea

Like multiple Cs and Worse

UC system said if you have a C or lower you have to report it

So theoretically if you got all B’s you would be fine

Still not a good idea tho

[ornate marten]

no

lower than C

[random minnow]

Oh thanks

[glacial vale]

How hard is it to get into Ross having already been accepted into LSA?

I indicated that I want to go to Ross over lsa and haven’t heard back yet :(

[cloud shadow]

[glacial vale]

[slate oar]

[stuck cypress]

LMAO fr

[slate oar]

they just have to take so many in state

bc of how taxes work

[stuck cypress]

what r u majoring in

yeah oos tuition at mich is wild af too

[slate oar]

id do history prelaw probably

but not committed to umich

LOL

[cosmic plinth]

congrats!!!

[stuck cypress]

dope congrats

[slate oar]

lol huh

ea came out like a month ago💀

[slate oar]

its been a while

most kids send it right after deferral

[cosmic plinth]

yeah

[idle coral]

bro i know it’s my only good option rn and i don’t wanna out my parents through that insane price for a public school 😭

[high nebula]

omg hi lake

[slate oar]

hey comrade

nice seeing you

[high nebula]

u 2

[idle coral]

congrats what awards if you wanna say

[stuck cypress]

just some fbla/deca stuff, nms finalist, and a hackathon i won

[surreal tendon]

I did

Basically j said it was my #1 choice

[thorn leaf]

i also did

[idle coral]

what fbla comp i always do insurance and risk management

[stuck cypress]

econ and game programming

[slate oar]

Nice!

That’s solid

I’m sure you have a great shot at rd💯

[stuck cypress]

thank you i appreciate it ❤️ hopefully see u in the fall

[cloud shadow]

same fr 😭 idk what would be considered a good price for oos umich

[idle coral]

i don’t qualify for aid so luckily i’m able to pay for it but i feel bad putting my parents through that 😭

[cloud shadow]

real. my parents have been super supportive of me going where ever regardless of price but that guilt is strong asf

[high nebula]

i get no aid too but 72k is just crazy

my parents were like

"for a public university??"

[idle coral]

right public is crazy that’s why i’m really hoping for a better private school because if i’m gonna end up paying that much i’d rather have a private school

[high nebula]

yeah

[oblique vortex]

why though? is private better

[idle coral]

no not necessarily but smaller classes and easier access to opportunities though

for the same price or maybe even less

plus more aid chances since i’m oos

[reef dome]

Depends on school but v diff vibe

And aid is better for out of state kids

Usually full rides if u get in

[turbid burrow]

ye my in state is 30k lmfao

[idle coral]

if i stayed instate i would be paid if i went to a public school 😭

[turbid burrow]

i mean privates (mostly t20) give more aid but ask for everything lmao

[turbid burrow]

youd be paid to go 😭 ?

[idle coral]

yeah cause florida has this thing where if you meet certain requirements the state covers your entire tuition and then scholarships and everything and merit aid so i wouldn’t pay anything rlly

and i woudl get a stipend depending on the school

[fickle cloak]

yeah it feels bad when options at cheap prices r scarce

[turbid burrow]

o ye

i mean i got in uf oos

[fickle cloak]

like u wanna have options to pick

[idle coral]

i got rejected from uf 💀

[reef dome]

Rn unc oos is my cheapest

[turbid burrow]

but lots of factors that its not rly an option

[reef dome]

Better than privates for me

But idc I’m going with best school

[fickle cloak]

this is the cheapest for me

[idle coral]

oos ohio state is my cheapest they offered me a full ride

[fickle cloak]

even over in state

[turbid burrow]

u got in michigan right lets trade 😭

[idle coral]

no no i wanna leave this state.

[turbid burrow]

man fuck ohio state (michigan fan)

[turbid burrow]

lmfao

[idle coral]

fr (let me into ross please)

[turbid burrow]

ye the politics killed it for me

and vt cs> uf cs

and prolly cheaper

so uf was a feelsgood acceptance lmao

[idle coral]

the only florida school i applied to was uf so now i have no chance of staying which is great

[turbid burrow]

fair enough

i wonder how u got michigan but not uf

but tbh idk how selective uf is

[idle coral]

supposedly uf is partially a lottery but idk

[high nebula]

im ngl i didnt even know uf was a good school 💀

i thought it was just another sec school

[turbid burrow]

me neither but its near the top of publics

id say its Cal, ucla, U-M, UVA, UF

iirc

[high nebula]

yeah but i dont really get why because it doesnt have any highly ranked programs

[idle coral]

i have a higher gpa than their range and my testing is in their range and i have rlly good ecs but honestly the process is so random i’m not even gonna worry

[high nebula]

like umich is t5 for engineering and business

but i dont see uf with anything like that

[fickle cloak]

how good is cs at umich

[high nebula]

very good

[turbid burrow]

ye i think i was above average for everything for uf

[idle coral]

t4 for business put some respect.

[turbid burrow]

one of the best

[high nebula]

lol

[turbid burrow]

uf is good

jus not for my major

[high nebula]

which is

[turbid burrow]

im on a2c take a guess

[high nebula]

cs

[turbid burrow]

bingo

[high nebula]

lol

[fickle cloak]

and with a cheap price. i just might bleed blue and yellow

[high nebula]

maize

(:

[idle coral]

idk i rlly don’t like uf but that’s just me i feel like the school is lack luster they had so many chances to make it good but campus is mediocre education is okay and opportunities are rather hard to get

[high nebula]

and the football sucks

[turbid burrow]

lmfao

[idle coral]

and don’t get me started on the dorms they’re so bad 😭

[turbid burrow]

i rly wanna go to a michigan ohio game man

[turbid burrow]
