[elfin ridge]

thanksss

[last patio]

does anyone know deferral percentage?

[warm sphinx]

think they dont release the numbers

[last patio]

based on reactions do they just defer everyone or do they reject as well

[warm sphinx]

there was 1 person in this thread that said they were rejected

they probably defer a huge chunk of people

but not everyone

[next elm]

Got in boys

[warm sphinx]

[patent seal]

I had a 1440 and a 3.45UW/4.1W

[mighty citrus]

They over enrolled last year and the year before, so they're trying to avoid that this year I can imagine

[sullen tusk]

gah damn

[untold spoke]

i got deferred for a 3.67/4.11

and 1540 SAT

cs yeah

[mighty citrus]

CS is so hard, I'm sorry to hear that

[neon crown]

Can't you just apply for some bs major and switch to CS?

since it's all L&S

[warm sphinx]

depends on your EC and essays probably

if you apply to a completely irrelevant major then it weakens your application more than it helps

[last patio]

Damn why everyone getting deferred

[blazing vessel]

Anyone have a rough estimate of cs acceptance rate from last year?

[warm sphinx]

they dont admit by major

[blazing vessel]

Oh damn didn’t know

L UWMADISON

MIDISON

[pulsar veldt]

Got in for cs

Do anyone know if there is a discord server for Madison?

[next elm]

Good question

[cyan glacier]

deferred from the college of engineering 😂 😂 (i am miserable)

[mental epoch]

Deferred from engineering

[elfin star]

you don’t get in for CS

[flat cairn]

how do ik if i got in for cs

mine just says letters adn sciences

[sand kayak]

everyone gets that only

madison doesn't admit by major. you're free to choose whatever once you enroll

[delicate pilot]

It's just getting directly admitted to one of the schools or not

[flat cairn]

Why are people saying they got into cs

[delicate pilot]

Cs is in L&S I think so that's prolly why

[lyric berry]

bc this is why

[cloud rose]

the portal makes it seem like its a direct admit to cs

[next elm]

If you hear of one lmk

[lyric berry]

its not a "direct admit" but pretty much if u applied CS should be a guaranteed

[flat cairn]

thank god

[lyric berry]

Yeah lol

[spare stirrup]

does anyone know where to see financial aid/scholarships ?

[fluid vortex]

i got into uw l&s but deferred from umn

bruh

[clever osprey]

Nah they don't

[eager hedge]

yo

[next elm]

yo

[clever osprey]

Anyone can declare it after passing reqs

[fluid spear]

r u guys all 1st year applying? bc i checked mines and it still says complete

oh wait nvm im transfer. i gotta wait longer

[exotic tree]

Is anyone getting an error when logging in?

It just says account error

[pulsar veldt]

;-;

[pulsar veldt]

mine says academic plan: CS BS

oh now I understand why after scrolling up the chat

[fallen dragon]

[split gate]

madison is out?

[fallen dragon]

oh yea lol it came at around 8 pm eastern

[dawn chasm]

holy crap everyone's getting deferred

is it gonna be this bad next year?

[fallen dragon]

a lot of ppl got admitted lol 💀

at least in the a2c discord

[dawn chasm]

oh lol

well i saw a lot of deferrals

[mental epoch]

Since I got deferred from UW-Madison, I was wondering is OSU a good college for engineering?

[sand rapids]

Is there an essay if you get deferred

[left spear]

Many OOS CS people got deferred but it’s not as bad as other schools

[boreal axle]

Any chance of getting in if I got deferred ?

[last patio]

Yes

[boreal axle]

I couldn’t find any data on this tho

[last patio]

You don't need data

If you got deferred you obv have a chance lol

[sand rapids]

Is it a decent chance

[boreal axle]

Emotional damage

[next elm]

Do I need to click accept on it now

[elfin ridge]

why is uw madison's school spirit so dead everywhere

[last patio]

Idk, my calc teacher reps the school like

Every day😭

[left spear]

Oh? It’s pretty big in the Midwest

[fluid vortex]

lol its huge

[last patio]

Yeah

[fluid vortex]

a good handful of my neighbors have badgers flags outside their house

and i dont even live in wi💀

[elfin ridge]

really

idk it's just that their server is dead

their subreddit is pretty dead too

compared to some other schools

[empty nimbus]

got into uw madison but prolly not going there bcs it too cold

[elfin ridge]

their twitter page is kinda meh

like i love the school but i don't feel connected at all

[fluid vortex]

brrr

[fluid vortex]

yeah valid i get what u mean

[last patio]

I'm the only one who applied at my school and I'm in IL

Maybe my school doesn't like Wisconsin much ?

[fluid vortex]

idk id 100% go to umn over madison

[elfin ridge]

same no one even knows about it here

[fluid vortex]

but madison let me in and umn deferred me

def underrated school but personally i dont think i would go

[elfin ridge]

it's also crazy expensive for me

[lyric berry]

☠️ ☠️

actually what major?

/college

[fluid vortex]

LOL

not denying at all that madison is a great school

[last patio]

[last patio]

yessir

[last patio]

umn deferred u??

[last patio]

im oos and i got a full ride to uw

[last patio]

Btw how did you find out

I can't see financial aid😭

[last patio]

i got an email this morning and its on my page

i got a 25k/yr (100k) total dean's excellence scholarship for school of education

like 15k in instuitional need based aid

and the rest of was federal aid

and like 3k in loans

Ohhh ok

Congratulationsss

which i will be just doing 500 in loans since i have money saved up from work to pay off

[last patio]

tysm

Np

[fluid vortex]

holy shit CONGRATS

[fluid vortex]

yeah 😭

the one college i thought id get into no doubt

oops

[last patio]

what was ur gpa? and tysm!!

i got in for architecture but my stats were shit and im not even pursuing arch. i only applied for it cuz it was their prettiest building LOL

[fluid vortex]

3.78/4.6

[last patio]

way higher than me lol

like wayyy higher 💀

[fluid vortex]

i did apply for cbs tho amd theyre competetive i think

[last patio]

oh yeah probs

[fluid vortex]

but i thought theyd put me in my second choice college at least

cla💀

[last patio]

thats crazy asf

they probs didnt give u ur second choice

because they believe ur compentent enough for carlson

but wanna evaluate u with the rd pool

and if u dont get carlson then youre gonna get ur backup

[fluid vortex]

ohh i didnt think of it that way

that gives me hope lollll

ego was rly shut down

also cbs is college of biological sciences not carlson

congrats on ur acceptances! full ride to madison is so huge🙏🙏

[last patio]

ohhh!!

and tysm! i was speechless and its my top choice if i dont get into washu ed2

[fluid vortex]

wowwwww

i hope u get in‼️🤞🤞

[regal jewel]

should I apply to the l&s honors program

[sand rapids]

What’s the best thing I should do now if I got deferred. They are still my #1 choice. I applied for computer science BC L&S

[fluid vortex]

letter of continued interest and keep ur grades up?

[sand rapids]

They want my mid year grades which were not that good tbh. I emailed them to see if I can do like an essay. Should of said letter of continued interest.

Would I have to email them about a letter of continued interest? I didn’t see it on their website

[last patio]

mid year grades are kinda like required lol

im pretty sure had i not graduated high school yet and they didnt have my final transcript, i wouldve gotten deferred

[sand rapids]

I know. That’s why I wanna do a letter

[fluid vortex]

typically u just email them but when i asked umn abt it for example, they said to email and also add pdf version so they can attach it to your additional materials part of ur app

[last patio]

this was my acceptance letter

[sand rapids]

Realistically what are my chances of actually getting in? Deferred. Out of state. Poor semester 1 grades

I got legacy going for me

Even tho they don’t rly care abt that

[last patio]

whats the major/school u applied fir

[sand rapids]

College of Letters and Science

Intended field of study: computer science

[fleet mesa]

congratulations!

i think they are just stingy about giving out need based aid

[untold spoke]

this school is middddddd

UW MIDISON

MIDISON

[regal jewel]

@untold spoke MALDER

MALDER GOT CAUGHT

[untold spoke]

okay ramesh

[regal jewel]

i cant talk tho

[untold spoke]

you want me to get you banned

ramesh

HUH

?!?!?

fight me

[regal jewel]

i got the global minimum on my calc unit test

[untold spoke]

LMAO

rip

[regal jewel]

worst grade i've ever gotten on a test in that class

but i can retake

74%

shit not fye

byt the Phys C is fake

bro j didn't grade my hw

[fluid vortex]

this class so hard

[regal jewel]

the class is so light

i j stopped paying attention at all

so now its hard asf

[fluid vortex]

my grade like urs but real edition

[regal jewel]

damn

im supposed to have an A in the class rn

finna retake calc unit for an A or B+

then I got an A in my chinese class basically guaranteed as well as two more As from my other CC classes

so ig im chillin

english csp and gov are easy to keep As on

AP CSA i can keep an A if my headass decides to study for the tests now

same shit for calc and phys

[fluid vortex]

mechanics was so chill but im actually getting hammered in e&m

[fluid vortex]

congratulations

[regal jewel]

oh shit E&M

yea i was supposed to be in E&M since I took Phys 1 last yr

but mfs were like not enough ppl wanted it

so they stuffed me in mech

[fluid vortex]

damn sucks

i dont understand my hs

we have no prior prereq for apc besides calc

and they make u do mechanics and e&m in three quarters

[regal jewel]

oh damn

[fluid vortex]

so everyone pretty much dying

[regal jewel]

yeah my school stretches everything

full yr phys c

full yr gov

full yr econ

so no one does the semester split APs

[fluid vortex]

thats kinda nice tbh i wish

content isnt hella rushed

[regal jewel]

yh

ig its bc my school depends on our CC to fill the gaps for ppl who want fast credits

[fluid vortex]

mmm icic

[boreal axle]

Anyone else who got deferred didn’t do anything notable first semester?

Wtf do I write in my LOCI??

I’m in the IB this is when work piled up bruh

[regal jewel]

talk about things you wouldn't think fit imo

like things you did that you enjoyed that may potentially show you as a well rounded person

new hobbies, interests, activities, even things in school you did

[opal stratus]

Where do you see scholarship

[elfin star]

wait were u the one who posted on Reddit

[last patio]

LMAOOOO yeah

[last patio]

was this like, your admissions letter

yep

[elfin star]

congrats lmao

[last patio]

i'm sorry, their portal is hideous so idk where everything is

ty

mine was very general

[elfin star]

how do we download the acceptance letter

[last patio]

when u go to your notification section, you click on the link

[elfin star]

I only see the box 💀

[last patio]

then click on the blue

and open it in a new tab

yeah i got a typical admissions letter to letters and sciences

no financial aid yet

when did u apply

september 12th

i submitted my fafsa the minute after i applied to uw madison which was in early-mid october

actually applying to uw madison was super random and i only did it cuz they had their own portal and i thought it looked cool 💀

wasnt rlly considering it much since i didnt think i was gonna afford it being oos

thats why the full ride and this special scholarship keep throwing me off

ohhhh i realized

they offer aid in order of fafsa completion iirc

i did my fafsa like november iirc

ohh

https://www.wisconsin.edu/news/archive/uw-system-encourages-students-parents-to-fill-out-the-fafsa-to-secure-federal-financial-aid/

Federal financial aid is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Students and parents who apply early have a better chance of receiving aid, including grant aid that does not have to be repaid.

[regal jewel]

... damn

[last patio]

first one is my coa, and the second is the aid/grants/scholarships i accepted

which means full ride cause it meets my entire coa amount

[sullen tusk]

skull im gonna die

[regal jewel]

where do you see the screenshot

[last patio]

?

[last patio]

in the financial aid letter they sent me

[regal jewel]

so they fr are giving me nothing then

not even soem of the non-resident aid they offer

[left spear]

uh wow

I'm so sorry

[regal jewel]

i thought they gave an npc estimate on the page then would finalize packages in March

where I'd maybe get a dollar or smt

[left spear]

uwmadison is very stingy with aid

[regal jewel]

240k debt then huh

[sullen tusk]

umich better give me better aid

[left spear]

um

wow

[last patio]

that better not be the final offer

or it's a swift decline 💀

[regal jewel]

@last patio are we sure these are final aid packages

like 100%

[sullen tusk]

these are not finaid packages

[last patio]

yes lmao

[regal jewel]

okay im calling up the fin aid office on monday then

[sullen tusk]

ur packages would come in notification

[left spear]

^^^^

[regal jewel]

we got nothing bao

my package is nothing

yesheis got his in noti

[sullen tusk]

yeah so just wait for a while

[regal jewel]

and his wasn't nothig

[last patio]

bruh yes it is lmao

[sullen tusk]

thats cuz he got scholarship

idk

[left spear]

stay put they'll roll it out soon

[sullen tusk]

i am set to get pell grant so im gonna wait for a while

[regal jewel]

WHOA WHOA WHOA

YOUR NON-RES?????

im calling htem the fuck up

[left spear]

yeah nonresidents - I know someone else who got a similar package as @last patio as a nonresident

just not many get it

btw congrats

[last patio]

whats the requirements for dean excellence

[regal jewel]

yeah congrats man wtf

@last patio if i can ask, what's your stats and EFC?

[last patio]

there isnt any because only 6 ppl get it

i didnt even know it was a thing

its a hidden scholarship

[left spear]

yep very few

[last patio]

for school of education

damn wtf 💀

[left spear]

^^

[regal jewel]

oh shit icic

[last patio]

cracked asf

[regal jewel]

yea gd

[last patio]

btw my stats were low asf so getting a full ride taught me two things

not ever school cares much for ur gpa and ur essay, rigor, and experience are valued more

and that a school actually acknowledged my talent

[sullen tusk]

whats ur major?

[last patio]

i can send yall my stats and stuff if u want

[regal jewel]

ah ic

[last patio]

rn its elementary education but im planning to change it to educational studies & double major in the business school then go into edtech before law school

[sullen tusk]

ic

[regal jewel]

what was your EFC then? dont have to share if you dont want to, but like my EFC is a very fake EFC(my parents have a solid 0$ to sapre but our efc is 40k) so i need to see what my chances at negotiation are

[sullen tusk]

his efc is probably 0

[last patio]

0

[sullen tusk]

his pell grant is at max

[last patio]

but i also learned the school of ed only accepts 3% of applicants who apply to it

[regal jewel]

also education i think helped you a fuck ton, states incentivize it a lot

[last patio]

so my gap year really kicked ass for me

[regal jewel]

oh damn

[last patio]

yes!!!

[regal jewel]

damn

[last patio]

top education program and one of the top states to be a teacher in

[regal jewel]

100%

congrats man jfc

(jfc is me screaming at wisco for 0$ im truly happy for u)

[last patio]

i actually sobbed

i got more from uw madison than my own in state

[regal jewel]

god damn

[left spear]

one more thing delete your 2nd screenshot from here, only 6 people get that program and its easy to see the name you've scribbled out if someone wants to be truly malicious.

[left spear]

go celebrate 🙂

its been a day

and you're going on to do big things 😄

[last patio]

i got a notificiation

[last patio]

they dont release that info either!

[sullen tusk]

technically its not really a full ride since he still has to take federal loans but having to only take federal loans is better than not ngl

[last patio]

most full rides include loans tho

[left spear]

that's good phew!

[sullen tusk]

yea

so only like 16k in loans to pay back after

[last patio]

and fortunately because i worked this gap year full time i can pay off my out of pocket without loans if i wanted to

[sullen tusk]

you could probably pay that off in a year

[last patio]

5k

[sullen tusk]

oh wow

[last patio]

because i got 5k in work study

which isnt exactly a loan

but i work in the field of education rn and i have money saved up

[sullen tusk]

4.2k*4 = 16k

[last patio]

i could pay up to like 10k

[last patio]

oh u mean all four years

yeah

[sullen tusk]

yeaa

[last patio]

but even then, thats still pretty low

[sullen tusk]

still great tho

[last patio]

and ill be applying for more scholarships next year

[regal jewel]

bro UCs better admit me

i cannot be paying 60k a yr

i love wisco but i cant swallow that pill

[last patio]

idec abt ucs anymore because i wouldnt afford it so i only kept two of them up

i withdrew cal and ucla

only kept sd and sb

[regal jewel]

thanks

no please withdraw sb

[last patio]

yw pooks

[regal jewel]

please

its only 20k/yr for me post aid

[last patio]

thats so much wha da fak

[regal jewel]

i beg u /s make ur own decisions its ur life

[sullen tusk]

him withdrawing sb wont do anything

lol

[regal jewel]

u right

we not even applying to the same collegeb

but

it makes me feel marginally better about my chances

[sullen tusk]

amongst like 50k people

[regal jewel]

yes

yk ucsb CS admit rate is 5%

[sullen tusk]

hes not even cs

[regal jewel]

i am

[sullen tusk]

ok

[regal jewel]

ok

[last patio]

they admit by major?

pretty sure they admit by school or major and cs nor anything alike were my intended first or second major choice lol

[regal jewel]

i dont think so but their datachart said they only admitted 5% of CS applicants

[last patio]

oh

ngl i'm glad my interest is so niche in general, i don't really have to worry about stuff like that 😭

atmospheric sciences/meteorology

im so glad i spent the last 17, almost 18 years of my life wanting to be a teacher and making my ec focus that 😭

[serene rapids]

where yall seeing this fin aid

[last patio]

but umich rejected my for education which broke ma heart

[last patio]

not everyone got it

[serene rapids]

ah

[last patio]

its releasing randomly i guess idk

[serene rapids]

pain

[last patio]

oh well uw madison got you 😭

umich more like umid

[last patio]

real

at this point uwm is my top choice unless i get into my ed2

i dont have much attachment to any schools but my ed2 so going to madison full ride would be amazing

[serene rapids]

bro a full ride is amazing

[last patio]

especially oos

i still

cant wrap my head around it

ive been talking about it all day bro 💀

[regal jewel]

im praying to god they j havent finished processing my fin aid package

[regal jewel]

[serene rapids]

my fin aid said that theirs nothing there

"There is no financial aid information found"

[last patio]

yeah hasnt came out for everyone yet

if i go to madison and double major

or major/minor in

education and data science

id be so cracked for so many jobs in tech and business

especially in edtech

[regal jewel]

[patent seal]

IM TOO GOOD FOR CMU WHICH IS WHY I GOT REJECTED

[flat cairn]

Cmu was like

“If birb joins he’s gonna be so amazing and smart and just finish every single course in like 2 days and he will disrupt the status quo we can’t afford for him to take over cmu”

[fervent raven]

Anyone know# how much harder rd is?

[eager hedge]

how do i check for Financial Aid and Scholarships?

[boreal axle]

So in the deferral letter they ask for an update

This is just the LOCI?

Then in early February they allow you to self report mid term grades

[lyric berry]

[fervent raven]

[last patio]

its the same portal most colleges use

except they use

the peoplesoft

for app tracking and decisions unlike most schools lol

[last patio]

honestly idk how to track it

because

you have instate, out of state, early action, and regular decisions

and they combine it all

so

rip

[fervent raven]

wuts that

[fervent raven]

tru

[short jewel]

anyone here got deferred?

[full sleet]

[last patio]

i did

[short jewel]

can mid-year grades have to be official rather than self reporting them

it says we self report but i dont see an option to self report them

[untold spoke]

the selfreport option should make itself available by early feb @short jewel

thats what website said

so itll show up in a few days

[last patio]

the system

[fervent raven]

o

thought it was like slate for a sec

[glad garnet]

[worldly dagger]

Probably potential cost

UIUC May have not given them enough aid

[opal stratus]

[fervent raven]

Rd

[glad yarrow]

my essay was literal dogshit glad it worked out for me

[last patio]

I feel like mine was a bit trash compared to my others too, but that was my first essay and I kinda used the 650 word limit to test my writing style as it pertained to specific institutions

[sand kayak]

I love superlong why us essays ngl

[blissful wyvern]

Lads anyone needs any sort of help let me know got in for Cse would love to help you out be it essays or how to build up ur profile cheers

I regret not doing ea

[warm temple]

Has anyone gotten notif abt their financial aid?

[elfin star]

[sand kayak]

[fervent raven]

That is very tru

[next elm]

So true bro

My UC essays are actually garbage compared to like my Princeton ones

[regal jewel]

has anyone other than yesheis gotten their fin aid award

[last patio]

i haven't

[elfin star]

does uwm send free merch or smth

[neon crown]

not if you call it "UWM"

[fluid vortex]

haha

[short jewel]

for those who got deferred, u can now self report mid-year grades in the portal

[fervent raven]

This for rd as well?

[opal stratus]

I got direct admit to uw business school but does anyone know if I can double major or minor in comp sci

For some reason there is no data science or business analytics major / concentration at wisco business so im torn

[regal jewel]

you can

just do the pre-reqs and ur chillin

[elfin star]

I am not going to type out the entire name on a casual server lmao

[sand kayak]

Please do not refer to Madison as "UWM." This is not the proper way to refer to the University of Wisconsin's original and flagship campus. Madison, UW or Wisconsin are all proper and acceptable ways to say it. UWM, on the other hand, is not.

As the system's most prestigious and respected campus, we feel that it is important to honor and maintain an appropriate level of respect for our university's name. We feel that "UWM" cheapens our brand and doesn't emphasize the incredible prestige associated with Madison.

While it may be acceptable to refer to all other UW campuses in initialisms due to their lack of recognition and prestige, this is not acceptable for the flagship and most well-known campus, and we therefore request that you cease using the name "UWM" to refer our school. Thank you.

TL:DR

Don't say "UWM" when referring to Madison.

[untold spoke]

oh god is this

based on that one

ucb thing

[sand kayak]

and no, it doesn't. at least not to internationals (mutual servers)

[elfin star]

I remember this copy pasta so well holy shit 😭😭

[elfin star]

L we get free tees anyway though

we’ll have to visit the campus for that

[opal stratus]

W

I prolly can skip out of some pre Reqs too

Like I’m pretty proficient in Java and Python plus I’ll prolly get a 4-5 on bc Calc

[elfin star]

Skipping pre reqs is almost always advised against

[sand rapids]

What other colleges did u apply to?

[neon crown]

Just call it UW or Madison or Wisconsin or Wisco. UW is best probably. UWM is UW Milwaukee

[opal stratus]

I’m for sure skipping Calc 💀

[regal jewel]

what did u reply to

i have no idea what the context is

[sand rapids]

Your essay

[regal jewel]

oh

[sand rapids]

Deferred from umich?

R u oos of MI

[regal jewel]

oos

[boreal axle]

The portal now allows us to self report mid year grades

Is this also where we insert our LOCIs?

[short jewel]

No but maybe write it in the additional comments section

[sand rapids]

I was thinking you email that to the office

For additional comments should we add like any awards or extra ec we may have done this past semester? Or should we email those to admissions office

[short jewel]

Idk I barely put anything in the additional comment section

I just put my new uw gpa

And thanking them for reviewing my app again

[boreal axle]

But you emailed your LOCI to [email protected]

[short jewel]

Where did I say that

I never wrote a loci

[boreal axle]

I just assumed you had

[boreal axle]

I’ll just put it in the LOCI

no reason writing it twice

[sand rapids]

Idk I’ll probably do a separate email w my LOCI and achievements

And idk what to do for the comments

[short jewel]

Give them ur new gpa

And maybe thank them too

[boreal axle]

💀

[sand rapids]

It’s worse

My gpa^

So I’d rather not expose that shit right away

[boreal axle]

They calculate it themselves regardless

[sand rapids]

Well yeah. But I’m not gonna be the one to j say it got lowered

They’ll figure it out

[regal jewel]

does wisco send a welcome package

[boreal axle]

Do they even need a LOCI?

[last patio]

yeah, uwm is actually the abbreviation for UW Milwaukee (https://uwm.edu) lol. similar to ut austin and how its not uta because uta is ut arlington

[sullen tusk]

why is milwaukee worse than madison

literally in a better city 😔

[last patio]

madison is safer + college town

milwaukee is a city so more crime and stuff

but both are pretty

[glad garnet]

and don't forget milwaukee had jeffery dahmer in it back in the day

[neon crown]

Milwaukee has improved recently but it isn't better than Madison. They have Kia boys and shootouts in front of fiserv forum 😬

[lament arrow]

The Milwaukee police department increased patrols on campus because of i think i read 3 or 4 armed robberies outside dorms

[grim crane]

Anyone know where to self report midyear grades on the student center?

[regal jewel]

in your application

[compact heath]

UW is self-report?

(for midyear grades)

[fervent raven]

ye

[compact heath]

I swear my kid tells me one thing and discord kids tell me something different, most of the time, lol

😐

anyway, ty

gonna have a chat tomorrow

with my kid

[fervent raven]

wut they say lol

[compact heath]

he had a list of self-reports from the schools he applied to, and UW wasn't one of them, but there have been other...discrepancies. Kinda don't blame him tho it's a lot to keep track of.

so chat mostly to make sure he's good, staying caught up

[fervent raven]

ye honestly i just kinda open all my apps every day and check to see whats missing not effective but keeps me sane

[fervent raven]

great that ur staying involved and engaged with their process 👏

[short jewel]

is ur kid on this server

[compact heath]

That's what I've told him to do, just keep checking every day. the emails help, but his email box is...RIP all the time so he kinda doesn't look at it closely. trying to get him to start again as the emails have settled WAY down from even a month ago

@short jewel don't think so, no

[fervent raven]

tbh i made an entirely separate email for college apps

[short jewel]

why

[fervent raven]

1. dont want it linked to anth (not done anth wrong but taking no chances)
2. easier to track emails
3. looks more professional i guess

[short jewel]

did u give cb ur email

[compact heath]

his gmail overflowed a few times; he has his HS email and a personal email, and he's been using his personal for college stuff

[fervent raven]

the second one ye

[short jewel]

yeah i made a mistake for that

my email was spammed

[fervent raven]

personal has promotions and other stuff so i just wanted to make sure nothing got lost yk

[short jewel]

so bad

[compact heath]

Once we got some filters set up, things were better

[fervent raven]

like an interview or sumn

[compact heath]

filters and labels helping a LOT

[fervent raven]

nah fr 😭

once i took the sat it was over

[short jewel]

case western reserve 🤡

[fervent raven]

i got radford and uta (not even the real ut bruh)

[short jewel]

oh yeah i got arlington but i dont think i was spammed that bad

[compact heath]

Tulane was one of the worst offenders for us; unsubbed several times, finally had to set up filter for it and dump straight to trash

[short jewel]

isnt blocking easier than filtering

[compact heath]

Need to pull stuff from spam occasionally, and blocking clutters the spam folder

[fervent raven]

makes sense

[short jewel]

i bet cb sold my email address to unis

[vocal elk]

How good is internship recruitment for cs at Madison

[fervent raven]

id say pretty good from my research

[compact heath]

I'm still p.o'ed I had to pay for CSS Profile. CB doesn't miss a beat collecting $

[fervent raven]

but youd hv to ask some of the college+

[short jewel]

ik 12 dollars for a score send??

tf

[fervent raven]

yep (non-profit btw)

[compact heath]

non profit... l m a o

[fervent raven]

they put so many barriers for low income folk its crazy

and ig u can get fee waivers but y tf r there so many fees in the first place

[compact heath]

fr

[sullen tusk]
