[turbid burrow]

me after umd rejection i thought i was like shit

fair enough

[slate oar]

somewhat yeah

it was jarring for sure

[turbid burrow]

hm u must be insane then

lmao

i mean insane in a good way

[turbid burrow]

ye i mean i didnt expect to get my ed but still cried wen i got rejected

idek y

[slate oar]

i mean insane is subjective

so i wouldnt say anyone just is or isnt

it was definitely misguided for me tho

[turbid burrow]

true

[turbid burrow]

oh no same for me

[slate oar]

just my ego i suppose

[turbid burrow]

cuz of certain things bout my app lots of ppl told me that i was like good enough for ivies and shi

and im like

aiit

then i went 0/4 my first 4 decisions and though i was useles

[slate oar]

oh

man

[turbid burrow]

rough time xD

[pine lantern]

ATTENTION UMICH-IANS

VOTE NO TO BENZ

[turbid burrow]

real

[slate oar]

real

[pine lantern]

pls repost the image ❤️

to join our organization

[slate oar]

harv rea is just like

a mistake that so many kids make

but you dont see it as a mistake til it becomes one

[turbid burrow]

wym

looking back idek what i shldve done

[slate oar]

its a mistake because they defer 80%

[turbid burrow]

me ed/ea apps were so bad wish i could take them all back

[turbid burrow]

damn sounds like umich

[slate oar]

which means theyre not serious about accepting in rea

its mainly for athletes legacies + other hooked kids

[turbid burrow]

i was watching an interview with a yale ao and she was saying rea is almost hharder than rd

cuz they only really accept u if they r sure that you wouldve gotten in no matter what

[slate oar]

i wish i did princeton or yale i think

[turbid burrow]

cuz if ur jus bout good enough but they dk what they hv waiting in rd ur likely getting deferred

[slate oar]

that would have been better for sure

[turbid burrow]

im not very fond of hpy tbh

maybe its cuz of my major or my background

[slate oar]

oh im prelaw lol

[turbid burrow]

feel like there r better schools (ffor major) and just that i wouldnt fit in with the rich prep vibe

[turbid burrow]

oh

that makes 100x more sense

most ppl here r like cs (including me)

but i did wanna do law before i realized im not passionate bout it

[slate oar]

well im like prelaw + politics

[wraith venture]

there goes my campaign ☹️

[slate oar]

otherwise id be fine with umich but hyp does offer distinct resources and advantages in my case

[turbid burrow]

well ye

for law thats the ultimate goal

[slate oar]

currently fighting for my life trying to fix my yale finaid

this process is just one struggle after another huh

umich was the sole positive moment so far

[turbid burrow]

bro i was so happy wen i got vt even tho it was a safety in my mind

[slate oar]

yea same here

i posted on my instagram story and tagged umich

and they replied and said congrats

[turbid burrow]

lmao

i mean rd gon be some surprises fs

[slate oar]

harvard was humbling enough

im just bracing myself for all hyp rejections and being happy with umich

stanford mit too

its 5 chances

but it doesnt feel like much at all

[turbid burrow]

mit good for law?

[turbid burrow]

lmao i hv 18 but only like 8 r actual options atp

even for schools idc bout i just hate seeing rejections lmao

cuz then i do some mental gymnastics and its if i aint get here i def cant get here even tho that could v much be wrong

[river vessel]

Any school is good for law

[turbid burrow]

fair

[high nebula]

[:1]

[turbid burrow]

yall i meant compared to hyp 😭

[rose flume]

reading that

makes me wanna just flash my bum to ur school, shout at that kid for a good hour and lecture him abt college stuff

[thin cove]

💀💀💀💀

[young breach]

😂

[slate oar]

It is actually, mit humanities is really really good

It’s just not the dominant culture

[turbid burrow]

Ic

[patent elk]

is michigan rd apr 1

[slate oar]

No

It was march 25 last year

[fickle cloak]

yeah it will prob be march 24 friday 3pm est

[outer bronze]

lol i just turned in my defer

cuz i wouldnt even go but i figured i should just do it and then forgot to do it

[tulip valley]

yes

[warm solar]

i dont even know what to write in my loci 💀

[crude rune]

me too ☠️

[fallow oracle]

Same

[slate oar]

💀💀💀

Guys it’s march 😭

Send your locis

Just be like umich is still my first choice!

[warm solar]

I’m prob sending mine td

[slate oar]

Here’s what I’ve been up to recently

And send it

[warm solar]

Yeah that’s what I did

I am just scared I’ll forget smth

Or say smth useless

[slate oar]

Who cares

The ao’s aren’t looking that hard

They just wanna see effort

[warm solar]

Hopefully

I wrote it a while ago and just been tweaking slightly every weekend 🤡

[slate oar]

dawg

send it asap

like

you're kinda supposed to send it right after you get deferred

otherwise they couldve already reviewed your app, not seen a loci and flat rejected

[warm solar]

…

[slate oar]

YEAH SO

SEND IT

[warm solar]

I thought they’ll just look at the LOCI whenever I send it 😭

[slate oar]

why would they do that

they have like thousands of apps to get through

i mean they're not obligated to wait til march to review ur app

they're gonna review it when they get to it

[warm solar]

Mhm

Cuz deadline for LOCI is March 17

So I assumed they were gonna look at them then

[slate oar]

that doesnt mean they can review 60k apps

from march 17-25 dawg

thats one week

[warm solar]

Yeah 🤡

[slate oar]

bro just send it lmao

[warm solar]

Yeah

[slate oar]

we're less than 3 weeks away

already

[stray adder]

At this point jus don't even 💀

[tribal schooner]

do first-years apply to a major or to the college

specifically in the COE

[stray adder]

Major. if I the building doesn't accept u, UW can still offer u general admission

[warm topaz]

If I sent the LOCI Feb 22nd, am I good? Will AOs see that i demonstrated continued interest?

[honest egret]

yea u should be good dw

i sent mine last weekend

[ripe forum]

any update for those who got postponed for CS adv selection

[languid sonnet]

I sent mine in march

coz I applied RD

am I fine?

[prime grove]

Wait, CS selection can be postponed?

Is there a chance to get it in the RD round, if you got deferred in general?

[wanton edge]

i dont think you even need to send one if you are rd, cuz i mean they ask for things which you have done since you applied and they want you to show some additoinal interest in umich, so all of that is already seen in your rd app

[slate oar]

Bro it has been like over a month 💀

No way to know hopefully not

Buy good chance they’ve already seen ur rd app

[modest nexus]

isn't the deadline like march 17th or smth

[tulip valley]

yeah but by then they most likely decided on your app

so your loci will have 0 effect

i submitted feb 16th hope thats enough 🤞

[slate oar]

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t submit it as soon as possible

It is to demonstrate interest after all

It’s not really about content it’s the expression that you are paying attention to umich and are staying punctual with the loci

Like everyone ik submitted like the day after deferral or smth

[slate heart]

As long as you submitted it that's at least something. Of course the sooner the better for things like that, but time has already gone so just relax and wait.

[slate oar]

^^ yea

Dw about it too much

[high nebula]

how u gonna call urself a umich simp then 😭

[slate oar]

💀💀💀

Bro is done

Same tbh after harv deferral I sent one update and tried to disassociate myself from harv💀

[vague beacon]

[lone spade]

mf finna stay a hater cuz he aint never getting that finaid 💀

[random minnow]

Bro I checked my schools scattergram on naviance for UMich and im starting to question my life choices

[fickle cloak]

Why?

[random minnow]

Because my chances to get in at the college I applied for are lower than I previously thought

[ornate moat]

i love umich sm guys

they just offered me a free macbook

[frosty elk]

idk

that why i asked if they'd be dropping this or next week in waves

^does anyone know

[topaz thicket]

r u rich

wtf

i cant tell if they give it by merit or by need

[ornate moat]

i think its by need

[topaz thicket]

r u pell eligible

[ornate moat]

yes

very much so

[topaz thicket]

ic ic

same here but i guess we have a bit of assets

[ornate moat]

😭 assets screw financial aid so bad im sorry

[topaz thicket]

the only asset we have is our house we live in

but css screws over so hard 😭

[ornate moat]

no cos literally 😭

[high nebula]

with umichs tuition ima need to take a loan to afford a macbook 😭

[fickle cloak]

Overthinking it. U got this, keep ur head up!

[topaz thicket]

actually real

[ornate moat]

LOOL oos tuition be like

[vague beacon]

bro the umich simps are loyal happy ppl istg

every time i look into this chat it's so wholesome

[proper violet]

FRFR

how much are assets worth in regards to financial aid 😭

[ornate moat]

a LOT

someone has a lower efc than me but has to pay 55k for umich because they own a house

and the worst part is that they still have like 90% of their mortgage left to pay

all oos btw

[proper violet]

[quartz harbor]

https://tenor.com/view/troll-troll-face-trollage-sus-amogus-gif-25939665

when your parent owns an s-corp

[slate oar]

It matters

Idk why you wouldn’t submit it in January

You wanna show actual effort

[stuck cypress]

if decisions are coming out so early why is it that there’s no benefit to submitting the loci early?

[slate oar]

There is benefit

You should do it asap

Or else you risk them revising your app without seeing it

[stuck cypress]

💀💀💀

Shit

Gonna do it rn

[slate oar]

Bro what

It’s literally like

Mid March

[fickle cloak]

Anything at this point is useless

[high nebula]

what is that

[stuck cypress]

no i mean submit it

[tight robin]

wait what

i didnt submit loci yet is that bad??

[proper violet]

@/soapy#2701 did

[high nebula]

what is it though

[proper violet]

like

a weekend for coE

to visit campus

[high nebula]

oh

[high nebula]

they lying

[slate oar]

Why not

It is literally mid March

[fickle cloak]

Fr

Atp, sending isn’t gonna matter

Cuz they def have made a decisions for rd ppl

[slate oar]

Sorry im like a nice person I swear but if someone asks me this one more time 💀

LOL

[fickle cloak]

Oh yeah did anyone else get this?

[slate heart]

Bro just send it lol, the sooner the better

If you actually care about going to Umich

[humble reef]

I know someone at my school who did, congrats bro steal their money

I rly just wish there was a specific date for rd lmao

I just need that rejection like ik its waiting there

to like prioritize other schools and whatnot

[fickle cloak]

I think they only gave this email to ppl with a low efc

And heck ya imma take advantage of this if I go

[humble reef]

seems like it could be financial aid based

[fickle cloak]

Free MacBook now I don’t have to go out of my way and get a new one

[humble reef]

apperantly it also has a lot of storage like it ain't the cheapest one

[fickle cloak]

Oh fr Big W

[humble reef]

I cant recall what my classmate said what they found about it, think it was 256 or 512ssd but im uncertain

it a big W fr

[quartz harbor]

@fickle cloak bunch of info here https://finaid.umich.edu/types-aid/michigan-undergraduate-laptop-program/faqs

Eligibility is based on your CSS profile

it’s a 13" MacBook Air w 8 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD

lol "SSD Drive" on that page

[fickle cloak]

That is good enough, I’m honored

[quartz harbor]

Definitely a great idea for students with low efc

[topaz thicket]

low efc isnt everything

skull

the css can screw u over

[quartz harbor]

The css has me messed up

[frosty elk]

How

[quartz harbor]

things listed that I feel aren’t relevant

[outer hornet]

My EFC is low but tbh for the wrong reasons

Not the wrong reasons but

It’s just weird how it’s calculated

[topaz thicket]

my dad skews my income a bit

(he’s divorced so he’s not on my fafsa)

[outer hornet]

my efc is like 4k

my family income is like 160k total

💀

[outer hornet]

ohhh

[topaz thicket]

u must have a lot of siblings

[outer hornet]

no

i have one lol

[topaz thicket]

wtf

[outer hornet]

my parents went through a lawsuit last year

[topaz thicket]

oh

[outer hornet]

😋

[topaz thicket]

well they update financial aid every year

so

[outer hornet]

lawyers be expensive

yea

[fickle cloak]

What how. My efc is 4000 and my parents makes less than of half of what your parents makes

😭

[outer hornet]

ya my parents do business on the side and went through a lawsuit and had a lot of loss

it’s gonna change next year fs

[indigo gyro]

Will the loci even do anything if I submit it this week

[stiff vault]

Wait my EFC is 0 what does that even mean?

[fickle cloak]

no bc ur honestly not interested in UMich.

they prob already made a decision for most students already

[languid sonnet]

for an Rd student

deadline was Feb 1

I submitted march 1

that's ok?

[fickle cloak]

March 1 and March 9 is quite the difference imo

[fickle cloak]

Idk about rd lol

Mine comment would be towards the deferred

[languid sonnet]

I c yeah

[tranquil imp]

Deadline for LOCI wasn’t feb 1 for me

[slate oar]

Just submit it dawg😭

[indigo gyro]

I still need to finish it 😭

[languid sonnet]

the RD deadline

was feb 1

i submitted the EOCI on march 1

[slate oar]

Then submit it and finish it

[pale coral]

when will they release rd decision?

[slate oar]

friday march 24 probably

[manic pivot]

they said April 😭😭

[slate oar]

3/25 last year

[manic pivot]

check their website??? why would they lie

[slate oar]

By April

Not in April

[manic pivot]

ohhh

mb

[lone spade]

[high nebula]

how would we know if decisions havent come out yet 😭

its usually around 20

[languid sonnet]

2

[slate oar]

LMFAO

REAL

😭

[sharp frigate]

2%

[lone spade]

[stuck cypress]

I forgot the 0 💀

[stuck cypress]

[stuck cypress]

thank god

[summer folio]

Loll

[rose flume]

lol

9% ross :>

https://tenor.com/view/sui-siu-ronaldo-football-portugal-gif-25997537

[topaz thicket]

isnt ross more like 2% then

if its 9% out of applicants who got into umich

[rose flume]

hm

id say or guess since its direct admission

9% is the correct number

[high nebula]

did you get in?

[rose flume]

nah wat do u think my guy 😭

i hope tho 🤞

[pine lantern]

good luck

[rose flume]

thank u

[high nebula]

then why are you saying the number like u did and ur proud of it 😭

gl tho

[rose flume]

💀 bro i just said the number

i never said literally any thing other than a number brother

what are u on abt bro

[high nebula]

my bad my bad lol

[rose flume]

its fine

haiz

some kid just got me on my bad side and now im pissed

[ornate moat]

wait how did u get this number tho 😭

[rose flume]

its on their website

[ornate moat]

WHATTTT WHERE?

[languid sonnet]

is eng conf 20

[ornate moat]

i found it

idk if this means that they recieved 8,600 from people that already got into umich or 8,600 including the people that didnt get into umich

[fickle cloak]

Including those people that didn’t get into UMich

And that only 860 got in

Wait that means UMich has a ea acceptance rate of 10% shdhhdjdjdjf

[ornate moat]

oh wooooowwww

[ornate moat]

wait where did this come from?

[fickle cloak]

860/8600=.1

Or am I trippin

[ornate moat]

yea but ross isnt only ea

[fickle cloak]

Oh that’s for Ross only

Then nvm lol

[ornate moat]

yes

LOOL

[fickle cloak]

Got me excited for no reason

😭

[ornate moat]

ross has a 10% acceptance rate

AHHAHAHA

[fickle cloak]

Yk anything on cs?

[ornate moat]

ross is dipping down to single digits oml

nope

dk and dont rly care for cs LOL

sorry cs majors i offended like 60% of this discord’s major

[fickle cloak]

Want it to be lower than 20 so I can flex too

[ornate moat]

HAHAHA

umich cs is crazy doe

[fickle cloak]

It really is. Not as crazy as Ross tho

I should of applied to to Ross bba as well

Don’t know why I didn’t

[ornate moat]

the double major LOL

but do you rly wanna be a rosshole

[fickle cloak]

I’m already a cs major, can’t be any worse

[ornate moat]

ur right

a negative times a negative is positive

[fickle cloak]

Only positive is job prospect

Mental health gonna be dropping down

[ornate moat]

thats kinda true

stem majors always seem depressed

i mean cornell being the most stemy ivy shows that

[topaz thicket]

which is why Columbia is the best school in NY

[ornate moat]

so true

cuny harlem college

[rose flume]

ye the flex on us feebles lol

[ornate moat]

HAHHAHAA

[high nebula]

Nah

I’ve talked to people who have done BSE CS and BBA

most regret it because Ross is kind of lame compared to CS and it didn’t help them with their career as much

[ornate moat]

yea cos if ur gonna go into cs just do cs LOL

but if u want to go into quant it may help

but high finance and consulting, cs is much less useful

[high nebula]

nah not even

most quant places don’t require finance experience and some don’t want any at all

[ornate moat]

thats true

[high nebula]

plus a minor would be way better than a dual degree

[ornate moat]

just do cs LOL

[ashen rock]

I heard quant is miserable

From a quant

[chilly gate]

Guys I’m so desperate when’s Umich coming???

[wheat horizon]

isnt it april 1st

[silk halo]

it’s by april 1st

[high nebula]

depends

some firms are better than others

[slate oar]

probably 3/24

but we dont know for sure

[lone spade]

any mf here taking the IB diploma who got accepted / rejected

[stiff vault]

i got deffered

[plucky marlin]

Anyone know when the last couple years announced decisions

[fluid swift]

i got accepted ea

[humble reef]

i know a bunch accepted and deffered

[lone spade]

whats the range of their predicted

[humble reef]

our school doesnt have predictions unless specfically requested for a uni 💀

[lone spade]

aight but like whats their estimated range that you would give

out of 45

[fluid swift]

i had a 39/42 nov predicted

we didn’t do /45 for predicted cause our ee and tok essays weren’t finished yet

[lone spade]

yeah and u got accepted so no worries about u

[fluid swift]

ended dp1 with 37/42 that i think they put more emphasis on bc it was a final

[lone spade]

im asking for the people who got rejected or deffered to see my chances

like what range are they looking for

[humble reef]

i dont think theres a specific range

i think if you're doing decently youll be fine

[haughty pawn]

I would assume anywhere above 35/42 would be fine, preferably 38+ though?

[lone spade]

aight I appreciate yall

but also engineering in UMich is hella competetive so I shouldnt feel safe

[fluid swift]

it’s also harder if youre intl

[lone spade]

damn

[humble reef]

umich international is difficult but i believe in u bro

[lone spade]

wish me luck guys

[lone spade]

I really appreciate that bro

[dawn mason]

[tight robin]

[fickle cloak]

no don't lose hope bc of the coa, they might drop a bag. that's what they did for me

[indigo talon]

When does decision for deferred students come

[fickle cloak]

for the essays you need to write for lsa 4 year scholarships, we can re-mention stuff we had in commonapp (anything we included in our application to get into UMich) right?

[slate oar]

Yes

It’s not the same people reviewing

Also even if it was, UMich gets like 80k apps no one’s remembering what your essay was about 2 months later

💀💀

[fickle cloak]

Alrighty

Makes my job easier lol

Thanks

[slate oar]

I used like other college essays for the scholarship app

They got a fun combo of UMich yale and Princeton 💀

[humble reef]

they force all of us to take spain b 💀 💀

[rose flume]

wth

did u take spanish before?

[forest crown]

is it too late to submit the loci lmao

[harsh marlin]

idek

they said march 17 but like

idk if that's true

I sent mine in like feb 21 and even I think that mightve been too late

[fickle cloak]

nah 21st isn't late

but march 11 ...

[stuck cypress]

everyone says u need to submit it early but it says this on their website:

[cosmic plinth]

Yeah but they have so many apps

theres no way they start at march 17th right

or maybe they look at the ones which submitted first

so they have some done

but still idk

[fickle cloak]

loci and eoci imo is 2 diff things

most deferred kids need to send a loci to up there chances

eoci is obv not necessary as the rd deadline was only feb 1

[hazy cloud]

?

i think umich’s version of loci is “expression of continued interest”

[hazy cloud]

how are they different?

[fickle cloak]

i actually have no idea. a2c got me confused with all these terms so when i talk, i be confused myself sometimes.

[thorn leaf]

i thought eoci was exactly just loci

[solemn elm]

Eoci is the UMich version of Loci

[muted stag]

Bruh so worried abt mich

[thorn leaf]

i worry a little and then remember oos tuition and then i'm okay

[summer folio]

Fr

[ornate moat]

umich oos wasnt that bad for me

even without the ross scholarship that i got

[summer folio]

Is it the same as the projected fin aid using their cost calculator?

[ornate moat]

nope

[stuck cypress]

💀

im hoping that some scholarships carry me over the line if i get in

[summer folio]

Can you elaborate

Do they meet all demonstrated need

[ornate moat]

no umich does not meet all demonstrated need

but npc calculated around 30k for me

i only had to end up paying around half of that without my scholarship

[summer folio]

Wait wha

[ornate moat]

but i am also fgli, so that will affect it

[summer folio]

🙏

There's hope

[ornate moat]

LOL glgl

[summer folio]

Are you going to UMich?

[ornate moat]

umich doesnt seem like you can argue aid with them though

not yet, im not committed until all my other schools are out

[summer folio]

Yeah public schools have limited funding

[ornate moat]

yep and they gotta use that funding on in state students

[summer folio]

I'm from NY and my state school refuses to give me merit scholarship because they give it to oos students

😵‍💫

[ornate moat]

LOL im from ny too, which one is it??

[summer folio]

Bing

[ornate moat]

really? they gave me a 12k one

3k a year

[summer folio]

😢

Stony gave me that

[ornate moat]

LOL i didnt apply to stony cos i fucking hate long island

[summer folio]

Oh what's wrong with it

[ornate moat]

i will rather go to byu than live in long island

jk id rather live in long island

but you get my point

cos i hate long islanders

its all a bunch of kids that only go to private schools

[summer folio]

💀

Does that matter if you're going to Stony

[ornate moat]

i also went to a speech and debate tournament in long island and i was so close to breaking to finals

and i didnt cos a judge decided to rank me last

so i have a grudge against all of long island

[summer folio]

...

[ornate moat]

LOL that was also a joke 😭

the main reason why i dislike long island is that i just dont vibe with it

its a bit TOO suburban

[summer folio]

I hear Stony is a commuter school and stuff

[ornate moat]

really?

[summer folio]

I think I'll go to bing

[ornate moat]

also the lirr is stupid expensive

[summer folio]

Oof

Bing's a bit cold though 🥶

[ornate moat]

yep, but at least its not ub LOL

[harsh marlin]

Aren't they all in the same state

[summer folio]

Upstate NY is colderr

[ornate moat]

new york is big LOL

extremely big

[summer folio]

Like

It can be raining in Stony but snowing in bing

[ornate moat]

a drive from nyc to virginia takes around the same time than a drive from nyc to buffalo

[summer folio]

Ub lol

Canada

[ornate moat]

yea its basically canada

but like ny is super big

dont underestimate the sheer size of the biggest northeast state

[summer folio]

I think I def messed up this application cycle

I looked purely at npc calculators and decided I couldn't afford colleges like bu and nyu

Apparently, they give full demonstrated need??

[ornate moat]

they dont claim they do

so im not sure

[summer folio]

That's what I thought

[stray adder]

UMich?

[summer folio]

I hope they don't or else I'll beat myself up over it

BU and nyu

[stray adder]

I feel like nyu would

[ornate marten]

i am pretty sure bu and nyu do give full demonstrated need

[summer folio]

F

[ornate moat]

they dont claim they do, but im not sure

cos bu gave one of my friends extremely good aid

not sure abt nyu tho

[summer folio]

Their cost calculators don't work or smth?

[ornate marten]

only takes 1 google

lol

[ornate moat]

what i heard about NYU tho, is that they have hidden fees after you commit and their aid isnt known for being consisten throughout the 4 years

[ornate moat]

first year students

[summer folio]

Their cost calculators gave me a much larger number than I can afford sooo

[ornate marten]

well if u put all the info right in the npc then that is what you will pay

most of the time

[summer folio]

Errr

It's 100% correct because colleges like UVA for example gave enough grants to match my efc

[stray adder]

Jus get aid from Harvard fr

[summer folio]

So I assumed that meant bu and nyu wouldn't give aid

Because their amount is substantially higher than my efc

[ornate marten]

https://www.bu.edu/finaid/aid-basics/cost-of-attendance/net-price-calculator/

[summer folio]

Ye I used that

The npc one

[ornate marten]

ion know

the claim to give full need

[summer folio]

Oh well

I might have thrown but I'll have to see if my rd friends get full demonstrated need

I'm praying I get into UVA because it's a good school and it's affordable

[ornate moat]

uva is a fantastic school

[summer folio]

Yeah I'm hoping I can get in

That's honestly the best possible option for me

In terms of academics + cost

[summer folio]

I saw all of this right, it's just the npc calculator suggested otherwise and I heard npc calculators are generally pretty accurate so I figured it wasn't worth the effort

[fickle cloak]

is this actually true 😭

esp last part

[ornate moat]

i think it is

the first part is what i heard from a nyu student

[fickle cloak]

UMich is a W. im going here if nyu or bu doesn't give near full ride

[ornate moat]

the second was from my counselor which is probably the counselor in our school with the most experience

TRUE GO BLUE

[fickle cloak]

ur coa for umich after scholly is also like 17k right

[ornate moat]

no my coa before scholly was 14k 😭

[fickle cloak]

huh lol

[ornate moat]

im very poor LOL

[fickle cloak]

umich coa before scholly is 72k tho?

[ornate moat]

yes

i got a victor’s scholarship, pell grant, and umich grant

[fickle cloak]

oh that's what i meant by scholly

[ornate moat]

ohh

victor’s scholarship is a merit based one tho no?

[summer folio]

Broo I actually hate my school ngl

I found out a lot of rich ppl have EFC of 0

[ornate moat]

tax evaders

[summer folio]

Fr

[fickle cloak]

maybe it just says a award lol

[ornate moat]

wait no not a merit based

i meant need based

[summer folio]

It's not like this at other schools right

[ornate moat]

idk tbh

i dunno that much abt tax

[summer folio]

I was so shocked

Multiple properties + businesses

EFC 0

Sheesh

[fickle cloak]

what how lol

[summer folio]

That's what I'm saying

💀

[ornate moat]

ohh yea that was around my coa

[fickle cloak]

a college changed my fafsa

i lowkey think it was umich

[ornate moat]

but i got a ross scholarship on top of that

[summer folio]

Business major ooh

[fickle cloak]

got me a extra 3k in work study lol

[ornate moat]

yupp

[summer folio]

I want to major in math heh

[fickle cloak]

hoping when i finish and been accpeted for my lsa 4 yr scholly, that can pull it to a full ride

[ornate moat]

you got this !!

[ornate moat]

oooh glgl

[fickle cloak]

anyone know what umich gives when we commit

any merch or backpack?

[summer folio]

Not sure

I've honestly lost respect for my school because they're taking away funding that is meant for students who actually need the help

But i guess it's the systems fault

[slate oar]

This doesn’t mean you shoudlnt submit it asap

If it didn’t matter, they wouldn’t ask for it

[high nebula]

youd be right except that they determine what full need for you is, not you

so its meaningless

[high nebula]

yo

ouch

not cool

[ornate moat]

LOL SORRY

[indigo talon]

When will decision come???

[cosmic plinth]

3/31

[slate oar]

i think 3/24 is more likely

it was 3/25 last year

[cosmic plinth]

yeah prob

but loci is due so late

[stuck cypress]

yeah that means that they probably wont look at it

it was very stupid of me to submit mine in march, but hopefully they still see it

[slate oar]

its ok

whats done is done

[untold summit]

are you guys doing the expression of continued interest thing even if u did RD?

[slate oar]

thats for ea deferred

kids

[untold summit]

oh alr

cuz i got an update to do it too

even tho i applied RD

[rose flume]

ima just send my loci now lol (rd)

in one of the admission file review on youtube

i saw how some kids get a average/excellent or sth for their interest

so mb this loci is one of the factor

[next hearth]

what r the odds that I get in when I got differed

[fluid swift]

they defer a lot so i wouldn’t say super high

[high nebula]

ive seen a lot of wrong spellings for deferred but this might take the cake 😭

[next hearth]

Been a long day

[lunar tangle]

ive had to have spelt it like that countless times

[indigo gyro]

What are the odds of getting CS advance selection in RD

[rose flume]

id say just as an RD kid lol

[slate oar]

Stop😭😭😭😭😭😭

It wasn’t that bad

[solemn trellis]

i'm pre sure '27 is the first year they're doing this advance selection thing so nobody knows the % for acceptances or rejections

i'd assume it's not very high because i think they are trying to reduce the amount of CS students

[stuck cypress]

wait so is rd on a specific day or will they just email me when its out?

[fickle cloak]

They won’t email

At least they didn’t for ea

I want to say it’s on March 24 tho

[stuck cypress]

that's so cringe

they emailed me to fill out my css by march 31. im just gonna wait for the decision till i spend money on it

[fickle cloak]

Then u might get less

As dec 15 was their suggested filing date

[inner spade]

If ur oos its not like ur getting any anyways

[stuck cypress]

💀 fr

[fickle cloak]

I did

[inner spade]

how much

[fickle cloak]

54

[ornate moat]

genuine question, would ygs choose ross or northwestern for ib and/or consulting?

[high nebula]

ross

not even close

[ornate moat]

for both?

can you elaborate 😭

cos i love both

[high nebula]

have u gotten into both?

[ornate moat]

what makes nu not even close

nope, but its just a whatif LOL

[high nebula]

well obv northwestern is a great school

[ornate moat]

not that confident i can get in but its just something ive been wondering

[high nebula]

i'd just take mich over it

way better representation in ib

[ornate moat]

oh yah i get that

[high nebula]

but youll be fine if u take nu

[ornate moat]

but nu has better consulting i think

[high nebula]

just tbc

mich is just my preference

[ornate moat]

i see i see

well doesnt matter to me unless ill actually get in

ill actually be at ross visiting when nu comes out 😭

its kinda funny

[high nebula]

lol

in the end just take the one u like more

[ornate moat]

i see i see

[high nebula]

both are great

[ornate moat]

i do feel bad if ross flies me out to michigan and i end up celebrating cos i get into nu LOL

[high nebula]

woah theyre flying you out?

[ornate moat]

hahah yes

crazy they have money

[high nebula]

bruh

im jealous

[ornate moat]

LOOL

ross perks ig

[high nebula]

):

[ornate moat]

hehehehehe

i heard their chefs were good

and ik they have a starbucks in there

[high nebula]

lmao

ive visited northwestern

great campus

but mich is great too

[ornate moat]

oooh tahts fun

HOLY SHIT

I JSUT LOOKED AT THE A2C CALENDAR

i have 6 decisions just this week

7 if northeastern comes out this week

[inner spade]

Northwestern

[ornate moat]

omg??

a uiuc commit choosing northwestern?

can i ask why

[inner spade]

private school

smaller community

[ornate moat]

i see i see

would you pick brown or ross?

[inner spade]

brown for the same reason

[high nebula]

💀

not for ib

[inner spade]

ross might have an advantage in ib

but its brown

ur gonna get good job opportunities

[ornate moat]

what abt consulting guys 😭

ik consulting is a bit different

[high nebula]

i mean ib and consulting are pretty different in general;

if ur just unsure in general then pick the school u like more

not the program

because u might change

[ornate moat]

ykw yea true they are all basically target schools

[high nebula]

i mean

not really

but youll be fine

[dull patio]

Northwestern. Ross is 'stern syndrome' basically aka thinking you’re at an Ivy because of your business school ranking without reflecting on the fact that most t20s don’t have an undergrad business school. At ross or stern, you’re competing with a group of ~700 kids for maybe 30 places. It is way better to be trying to break in through Brown or Northwestern or somewhere similar.

[high nebula]

source for those numbers?

[ornate moat]

well ross's target class is 500

[high nebula]

lol

thats funny

[dull patio]

can provide if you give me some time but it's a generalisation

stern has 700 kids

[ornate moat]

but they have such high yield

that they admitted 800 and 600 still attended

75% yield is not bad at all LOL

kinda funny that ross doesnt have waitlists for their high yield but

[dull patio]

not to take anything away from ross, it's literally goated but I think it might be a bit easier to break into IB or consulting through NW

[high nebula]

the fact is that banks recruit heavily at michigan but wont as much at brown or nw

[ornate moat]

i see i see

[high nebula]

youll still have opps

[ornate moat]

thats true, but ive heard that there have been some mbb recruiters at brown and nu

[dull patio]

that's because less number of people are interested in banking at Nu as compared to ross

[inner spade]

they will recruit heavily from mich because theres probably like 10x the amount of business students

[ornate moat]

the problem with nu for me is that most people usually go to chicago for work, not nyc

[inner spade]

mich ranks high as a target because of their population

[high nebula]

i mean yes

[dull patio]

yep

[high nebula]

but thats what u want

more exposure

[inner spade]

more competition, less fitting in?

if thats what u want sure
