[gleaming saffron]

[hoary apex]

retweet

[azure stratus]

literally

[gleaming saffron]

i feel like the college apps process turned me into a product

like i lowk forgot who i was after

idk if thats j me

[fiery cloak]

I loved the college apps process

[hoary apex]

don't forget that you have to found an NGO and solve world hunger too

[fiery cloak]

Like deadass

[gleaming saffron]

[fiery cloak]

Essay writing is like therapy

💀

[gleaming saffron]

...

i mean

some essays i liked

but a lot i hated

the creative prompts were fun

[gleaming saffron]

this is too far tho

[fiery cloak]

Skill issue tbh

[gleaming saffron]

naw

im a perfectly good writer

jk

[azure stratus]

it feels like if u havent started a $1m+ earning business and gotten published jn a top science journal u cant get into any of the reaches and its so annoying

[gleaming saffron]

it is a skill issuse

[gleaming saffron]

fr

i started doubting every one of my ecs

[fiery cloak]

I don't care about getting into my schools

[gleaming saffron]

compared to others it didnt feel good enoguh

[fiery cloak]

Like ofc it'd be nice

[gleaming saffron]

u applied to 45 u have a good chance

[azure stratus]

like ive done everything possible for me in the situation i was given so like. what else am i supposed to Do

[gleaming saffron]

felt

thats all that matters tbh

[fiery cloak]

But like I just enjoyed the process loll I'm fine with asu

[gleaming saffron]

ive compared myself to all the kids at our sch who got into ivies n shit

[azure stratus]

like my mom went to a little state school and my dad went to cc so like they dont know anything ab the college admissions process so theh werent any help w that or financial stuff

[timid forge]

none of my parents went to college nor siblings

[gleaming saffron]

my parents both went to med sch in india

[timid forge]

so im super new

[azure stratus]

i dont think anyone from my school has gotten into an ivy in at least 10-15 years

[timid forge]

same

[gleaming saffron]

screw ivies

[azure stratus]

according to my english teacher whose been there for 30 years

[timid forge]

the top students at my school just go to state schools

[gleaming saffron]

most overrated things ever

[fiery cloak]

Fr

[azure stratus]

[gleaming saffron]

six essays plus a video and tons of crying all to get rejected.. college apps are such a scam

[timid forge]

you guys prob have better chances than u think

[gleaming saffron]

so for me, greater than 0

because at this point i have 0 chance anywhere

[timid forge]

stopppp

[hoary apex]

it's hard being more special than 38,000 other kids tho 😭

the odds are crazy

[gleaming saffron]

like srs tho if i got deferred EA how am i gonna get in anywhere RD

the numbers rnt lining up

[gleaming saffron]

ik, i wanna tell myself im good enough, but i cant

[azure stratus]

[gleaming saffron]

legit hunger games

[gleaming saffron]

[hoary apex]

[gleaming saffron]

[azure stratus]

[fiery cloak]

I love it

Skill issue it's literally just a college

Not even a t20

As you said

Don't stress

It's not worth it

[gleaming saffron]

[fiery cloak]

If the schools reject me they're homophobic

[warm ocean]

Whoever gets in has to donate $10 to Wikipedia

Early round of course

[hoary apex]

remix time

[timid forge]

We do plan to admit more students earlier than we have in the past,” Brennan said. “In the past, we’ve offered roughly 1000 offers of admission in January through our scholarship or first year scholarship finalist process. This year, we think we’re going to offer about twice that coming out.

Interesting

[autumn silo]

frfr

[azure stratus]

whered u get that from?

[timid forge]

https://www.uscannenbergmedia.com/2022/09/13/usc-adopts-new-early-action-policy/

[fiery cloak]

😩

[azure stratus]

interesting

[peak basin]

if i got in tho idek if i would actually go

[warm ocean]

More students earlier LOL

[fiery cloak]

I LOVE USC

[hoary apex]

but if i get deffered will wikipedia give me $10 is the real question

[warm ocean]

Nope

[bright copper]

how much does USC weight essays and ECs

[peak basin]

yeah its a great school but hella expensive but also on the west coast while im on the east soooo we shall see

[bright copper]

(dont say lookup cds this is ur job to memorize cds)

[warm ocean]

I wonder what the RD rate will be if EA is this low

[fiery cloak]

Oh no it's tempura

No bitches

[bright copper]

gfy

[warm ocean]

EA lower than RD would be so scuffed

[bright copper]

EA rate is 4% right

or 8%

[weak walrus]

supposed 7-8

[warm ocean]

6%

[weak walrus]

there was a college confidential thijg

up there

[fiery cloak]

Probably 6%

[warm ocean]

How?

[bright copper]

i'd say 4% for RD then

[azure stratus]

someone here said 6

[timid forge]

I think it'll just be deflated by all the deferrals

[hoary apex]

hinted in an update email about my extracurricular developement to my ao that if i got in i would 100% go

[warm ocean]

Isn’t general USC like 12%?

[autumn silo]

alos Verdes High School and aspiring USC student

isnt that a feeder?

[bright copper]

was

[azure stratus]

ya i think 12.5

[warm ocean]

You mean Palos?

[bright copper]

i'd hate to see EA have a lower admit rate than RD

[autumn silo]

yes

[fiery cloak]

Oh wait guys usc RD is gonna tank

Think about it

[bright copper]

bc at that point people will just wait till march and not rush their apps

[fiery cloak]

I just realized

Yeah

[bright copper]

the benefits of EA only matter if the chances are higher too

[azure stratus]

can someone explain to me how ea is so much lower than rd for this usually its the ipposite

[warm ocean]

Probably

[bright copper]

Merit scholarships aint enough

[peak basin]

if general usc is 12.5% then shouldnt ea % be higher cuz rd will be super low

or am i dumb lol

[warm ocean]

Rich LA school means feeder

[bright copper]

they feed from the public thats 20m away

[fiery cloak]

Lmao

[bright copper]

40 ppl got in

look up foshay learning center

[warm ocean]

They don’t know how to run admissions and are deferring everyone to be safe

[azure stratus]

i see

[warm ocean]

RD will be better

[weak walrus]

6-7, but obv this is speculation

[timid forge]

I don't want to write a LOCI

[warm ocean]

They shouldn’t do EA again

[hoary apex]

well good news

[bright copper]

they really shouldnt

[warm ocean]

Why would they release stats before anyway

[hoary apex]

you're not allowed to write one anyway

if u get deferred

[warm ocean]

Cruel ass staff

[timid forge]

Oh really

Nice

[bright copper]

had i known how bad this was i wouldnt have bothered to apply

[azure stratus]

wait u arent????

[bright copper]

most essays out of all my unis

[hoary apex]

nope

[bright copper]

not even that good of a school relative to its selectivity

and its in the worst part of LA

[timid forge]

Why'd they gain so many apps this year

[autumn silo]

imagine going to college 20m away from your hs, could not be me

[weak walrus]

it was 70smth last year

so

[warm ocean]

USC campus isn’t that bad based on my visit

[timid forge]

69k to 81k is wild

[weak walrus]

sad

[hoary apex]

crazy shit

[weak walrus]

6%

[warm ocean]

9% USC admission rate

[bright copper]

oh ididnt mean minutes

i meant meters

[warm ocean]

“Holistic admissions” and its consequences

[bright copper]

the hs is the pin

[timid forge]

It's okay I don't want to pay 85k a year anyways

[bright copper]

that hs sends 30-40 to usc yearly

[hoary apex]

to be fair its a smidgen better than the 4 % we were calculating

[autumn silo]

HOLLY, yeaa ok wtf

[hoary apex]

amen

[timid forge]

wdym LOL

Like people with low stats thinking they can get in?

[fiery cloak]

I mean holistic is a lot better than not what the fuck

[autumn silo]

i lke that u used meters

[bright copper]

^^^

[fiery cloak]

It's the reason I have a chance at anything

Fuck you oski

[bright copper]

holistic gives you a chance at compensating for flaws

[fiery cloak]

You an opp

[warm ocean]

No holistic admissions is good

[bright copper]

SAT/GPA only does not

[fiery cloak]

Oh okay good

[bright copper]

and it means that socioeconomic factors will fuck you in the ass

[warm ocean]

“Holistic admissions” isn’t if you catch my drift

[bright copper]

as well as any unfair advantages/disadvantages that ppl have

[timid forge]

Hmm yeah

Did anyone do dornsife

My essay was so serious and everyone did funny stuff

[warm ocean]

I did whatever CS + Business was

[hoary apex]

yep, like they claim they are, but they really aren't and it's just one big hot mess

[warm ocean]

I think it’s Viterbi

[azure stratus]

i did dornsife

[fiery cloak]

Ah yes

[hoary apex]

me

[warm ocean]

This is my point explained in clear English thank you

[timid forge]

[fiery cloak]

Wait OSKI so valid

[azure stratus]

[bright copper]

CSBA

same here

[azure stratus]

talked ab bringing awareness to my chronic conditions

[warm ocean]

I think it’s Marshall though

I hope it’s Marshall

[bright copper]

its both

[timid forge]

I talked about child refugees from my home country 😭 worried it's a bit of a damper

[fiery cloak]

CS BA is viterbi

[warm ocean]

Ah I see

[bright copper]

Viterbi but you get access to all Marshall stuff

[hoary apex]

mine was like serious and meaningful but like in a more satirical tone

[fiery cloak]

Yep

The admission school is viterbi

[azure stratus]

[autumn silo]

[timid forge]

And the basic USC one

[fiery cloak]

[twilit citrus]

[warm ocean]

Watch it just be a 1 by 1 trickle

[twilit citrus]

[spare reef]

[crisp halo]

Yeahhhh

[spare reef]

3 topics 500 words each

[spare reef]

We speedrun!!

[timid forge]

i dont think we can even do it

we need a rec letter

[spare reef]

Technically it’s March 1st in the email

But I think it means start the app now

[timid forge]

damn

[spare reef]

I’m just coping high key

:D

[small cove]

y’all scared ?

[timid forge]

i think

a little ;/

its march 1

[twilit citrus]

@crisp halo just got a postcard from my tourguide

It seems like it'd be a lot of writing to send those to everyone on the tour. Do they make you write those?

[manic vine]

idk if you know the answer but are the batches based on what school applied to?

[twilit citrus]

They are true. 40600 applied and there will be about 2400 acceptances in EA

It's from an official email USC sent to counselors and advisors

[fossil gazelle]

does semi finalist status for nmsqt do anything? i've heard some people say it's a big boost, but others say it's nothing.

[twilit citrus]

It's unknown. On the one hand, USC clearly likes national merit finalists, that's why they offer the half tuition scholarship to all of then. But on the other hand, they could fill their class probably entirely with NMF and they choose not to. They might be more selective because they have to give the scholarship

[thick gorge]

big boost to your wallet that's for sure

half tuition!

[twilit citrus]

Only reason I applied

[fossil gazelle]

LMAO

[twilit citrus]

Also, because it's "half tuition", the scholarship increases with tuition increases afaik

Which makes it better than fixed dollar amount scholarships from other schools

[fossil gazelle]

yeah ofc

only applied cuz my dad went

whether thats good or bad is up for debate

but now im fixated on usc lol

[twilit citrus]

What major did you apply for?

[fossil gazelle]

human bio

[gaunt flint]

i ran out of space to put nmsf rip 😭

[fossil gazelle]

initially i didnt care much for the school but i found myself wanting the school once they announced jan 20 was release day

[fossil gazelle]

did u submit the essay through the nmsqt website

if u did i think they saw it

[gaunt flint]

usc saw it?

how would that be possible

[twilit citrus]

The names of semifinalists are published

[fossil gazelle]

plus u have to apply as a semifinalist for finalist status

[twilit citrus]

Whether USC cross checks their applicants with the list tho, idk

[gaunt flint]

idt they're gonna search it up though

[fossil gazelle]

and u choose the school u want ur nmsqt essay to be sent to

[gaunt flint]

wait the school gets ur essay?

ur first choice

[twilit citrus]

Idk what I even put for my first choice lol

Bc you can always change it

[fossil gazelle]

pretty sure

[twilit citrus]

Until whatever date

[gaunt flint]

yeah idt they do

its okayyy it's too late to do anything abt it anyways

[fossil gazelle]

regardless u can get in

[gaunt flint]

i like minimized my ec impacts by over 60% lol (like 10m+ vs 3m 😭)

cuz i was worried it would look too big

rip

at least i dont really like usc

[twilit citrus]

Wtf lol

Are we talking $10m? Or like 10m views

[gaunt flint]

impact, raised 16k tho but EAs dont know that so rip

like reach

[twilit citrus]

Oh okay

People have so little grasp of numbers that large I doubt it could affect any decision

[gaunt flint]

mmm idk 3m is so small imo

it's okay i dont really like my EAs anyways

minus the ucs 😭

[timid forge]

lol ik people waitlist or straight reject usc and nu last year and got into pton

one person straight reject usc, waitlist nyu and got into yale and columbia

[twilit citrus]

Exactly. There is so much randomness now

You really just have to take chances

[timid forge]

usc has pretyt unique essays

id say its down to fit really

which is kinda luck in a sense but yeah

[brisk orbit]

I accept the terms of this offer 🙏

[timid forge]

LOL

[sick vector]

does anyone know what time it comes out?

[steep elk]

^ same question

[sick vector]

i literally can’t find it anywhere 😭😭

[brisk orbit]

bc it doesn’t exist. it’s rolling throughout the day and they’ll email you

[sick vector]

WHAT.

yea i’m gonna be so anxious all day monday 😭😭

[narrow bear]

u'll be fine

[sick vector]

[green jewel]

[sick vector]

SINCE WHEN WTF

[twilit citrus]

They posted on their instagram like a week ago

Actually more than a week ago. Almost 2 weeks

[sick vector]

oh my god how did i miss that

[green jewel]

it’s rolling tomorrow

[twilit citrus]

It's going to come in multiple batches

But probably not starting until the evening

[sick vector]

it’s gonna be interesting that’s for sure

does anyone know if they reject at all?

[stone phoenix]

Nope

[sick vector]

there’s a couple schools that only either accept or defer for ea

[stone phoenix]

Only deferring

[twilit citrus]

USC is one of them

[sick vector]

best news thank gif

god*

[twilit citrus]

And they're only taking 2400 students EA, so the odds in RD are actually higher

[bright copper]

guys

[sick vector]

i’m actually so curious about the admitted stats tho 😭😭

[bright copper]

im gonna push this again

[brisk orbit]

why? i would rather them accept, defer, and reject

[bright copper]

look at the schools that alr admitted you

please

over research them

[brisk orbit]

cause it would've been a final decision

not prolonging the pain

[bright copper]

make yourself fall in love with them to an insane degree

you'll stop caring about all of this

then when decisions come

if accept

great

[sick vector]

if all else fails i have georgia tech im good

[bright copper]

if reject

doesnt matter

[twilit citrus]

All I got is UMN and IU and case with a too small scholarship 😭

[bright copper]

"all I got is UMN"

UMN is the school im simping for

i fucking love umn

[brisk orbit]

guys i have NOTHING

i dont have a SINGLE OFFER

[stone phoenix]

This is the first one I’m getting 😐

[bright copper]

then apply to ASU or smt

[brisk orbit]

dont wanna hear it

[bright copper]

[sick vector]

apply to bama for the serotonin they gave me a full ride

[twilit citrus]

Waiting for wisco decisions

[peak basin]

thats so rough im sorry

[bright copper]

fr?

[peak basin]

i was panicking that i would get no decisions but now i thankfully have some

[brisk orbit]

usc, you have the opportunity to be my honorable first offer 🙏

[twilit citrus]

My first decision was MIT 💀

[green jewel]

6% usc acceptance rate is actually traumatizing

[bright copper]

shi i gotta ask then

ASU vs UMN

[sick vector]

where are y’all getting 6% huh

[stone phoenix]

^

[twilit citrus]

It's not even 6% tho

[brisk orbit]

they announced the stats via email to counselors

[twilit citrus]

5.9

[brisk orbit]

5.9%

[twilit citrus]

Tragic

[green jewel]

naur

[sick vector]

FIVE POINT NINE

[twilit citrus]

Yeah but much less competitive applicant pool

You can imagine half the applications go right into the shredder

[brisk orbit]

Yea like for example Alan here even applied

[twilit citrus]

Still terrible odds

😂

[green jewel]

I do wonder how many are actually “throwaway” though

[fossil gazelle]

cant wait to open usc decisions in the middle of scioly

"u have been deferred because of skill issues"

[spring sphinx]

i am 💯

c in math junior year 😋

[sick vector]

“u have been deferred. it’s not us it’s you”

[spring sphinx]

why did i apply to viterbi for cs

[sick vector]

dear god good luck

i applied marshall

[fossil gazelle]

dornsife

[stone phoenix]

“U are not from foshay or a SCIon, we do not admit L students”

[fossil gazelle]

viterbi hella hard to get into

[sick vector]

that’s. like. the third hardest major?

[fossil gazelle]

plus cs

[sick vector]

i think?

[twilit citrus]

Viterbi is gonna have like a 4% acceptance rate EA probably

If overall is 5.9

Marshall might be 5%

[spring sphinx]

i am applying to the engineering school with a c in math

i went back up to an a+ but i think it still matters idk

[sick vector]

yea but my usc essay was bomb tbh

[green jewel]

ok but which math…

[brisk orbit]

Dornsife come through 🙏

[spring sphinx]

[stone phoenix]

[wary basin]

Rizzinomics

[stone phoenix]

Same except for almost everyone with decently good grades applying to the ivy that’s like 20 minutes away

Refused to even consider it

[green jewel]

ong my school is just like 20 Notre Dame REA + state schools

[sick vector]

we only have one student going to an ivy and that’s bc he committed for football 😭😭

[peak basin]

damn

we have like 5 ppl who got in for rea to harvard already

its wild

[fossil gazelle]

wtf

[sick vector]

my school is literally like 100 uga apps, 25 georgia tech apps, and like 3 out of state apps

[stone phoenix]

[sick vector]

running my own advertising agency

[wary basin]

That thing is so bad lol

[stone phoenix]

Legit just put researcher

[wary basin]

No possible way for a computer to just spit out a % like that

Accurately, I should add

[twilit citrus]

Nah but it can say x% of students with your stats historically have gotten accepted

Which is more or less what Collegevine does

[peak basin]

wait @wary basin did u get into stanford for cs or smth else?

[wary basin]

Yeah but how can it really tailor that to each person's EV

EC

[wary basin]

Yeah cs

[peak basin]

damn nice

[wary basin]

Oh like national etc

[sick vector]

better than 0 😏😏

[fossil gazelle]

that 13% acceptance rate looks like a joke in ea hindsight 💀

[stone phoenix]

Tier 1 literally being god

[sick vector]

honestly

[wary basin]

Stanford don't let u declare a major till the end of ur sophomore year anyways so whatever interest u have listed doesn't really matter as long as u incorporate it in ur essays

[charred laurel]

[sick vector]

nyu business acceptance rate dropped to 7% ed. from like 20 last year 😭😭

[wary basin]

[stone phoenix]

[wary basin]

I'm guessing 9 at the earliest

[green jewel]

thinking about how angry i’ll be about a deferral since I had to fill out courses and grades for usc and ONLY usc

[sick vector]

educated guess based on my last decisions

past*

[fossil gazelle]

no way it releases during a math test

[wary basin]

I heard they are only accepting or deferring for this cycle

[fossil gazelle]

gonna get deferred and derived at the same time

[wary basin]

EA that is

[sick vector]
