[last wagon]

Gonna take a page out of Merced Simp's book

Oh 27th Jan, what is your plan?
To keep us waiting, so that you may hear our wailing?
To keep us on our heels, so that to these institutions, we may kneel?
Whatever it may be, just please set us free

Maryland, there some will make their stand.
At college park, they shall finally disembark
for the next four years, with no more tears
to walk into the light, away from the night

Urbana Champaign, where there is so much to gain.
Be it grainger or be it Liberal arts, the decision will hit a few like a keen dart.
But for few others, they shall be brothers
working together, like birds of a feather

Fair Georgia, at the city of Atlanta
Near peach tree avenue, shall you make leaders?
but on the day, you will make us pray
For you are the coldest, among all your sisters

At great ann arbour, few shall harbour
to make their stay, worth the pray
Much like your lake, you shall make them superior.
But to others, you may seem inferior

Massachussets, where many minds are set
Come this fall, who may attend your lavish dining halls?
To the bustling heart, rejection may seem tart
But the sharp mind, you shall repay in kind

And lastly, Beloved Madison, heed the words of this wayward son
Take me into your embrace, with your undying grace
So that this world, I may make my own.
Here I would make my stand, standing tall and grand

But for now?

27th jan, what is your plan?
To keep us waiting, so that you may hear our wailing?
To keep us on our heels, so that to these institutions, we may kneel?
Whatever it may be, just please set us free

[tacit rapids]

applymaryland posting a whole lot of nothing on ig

“all decisions by feb 1” yeah we know

[unique zealot]

its been last friday of jan last 2 years

i doubt theyll change it up

just wait for 27th ig

[tacit rapids]

yay

if that’s the case then i got 7 schools on the 27th 🤝

[last wagon]

My poem:(((

[burnt pebble]

lmao at least it seems like theyre done if theyre out here hand delivering acceptance letters

[tacit rapids]

yep

imagine having maryland being your safety and they send a bus full of the marching band to your house and start decorating it with “maryland bound” stuff

[burnt pebble]

xD

its like a target for me ig

[tacit rapids]

like what

[burnt pebble]

they got time to do allat but not say hey guys decisions friday

smh

[abstract rock]

It was 27th for me

[abstract rock]

I know a few ppl in that photo

[abstract rock]

I’ve never met anyone where Maryland was a saftey

That got in

[sonic idol]

What would you say it is for me?

[burnt pebble]

ive learned no school is a safety rly and truly

theres attainable and reach

[tacit rapids]

well for in-state people and i am assuming that this tour is in-state only

[plucky wolf]

I saw a girl on YouTube who got acceptef into Princeton and Columbia but denied from UMD

[burnt pebble]

sommeone got mit, cornell and gtech but rejected from umd

[plucky wolf]

Did they apply RD

or EA

[burnt pebble]

rd

[bitter bloom]

Did they announce the decision date?

[plucky wolf]

That’s probably why

[sonic idol]

No

[abstract rock]

Idk you’re numbers

But if you’re a minority it’s hella easier

Unless ur Asian

[abstract rock]

It’s the 27th

Always has been

[abstract rock]

That’s why

[burnt pebble]

if u get in to a school how long do u have to decide

[sonic idol]

I sent earlier

3.9 UW, 34 act, 4.8 W

White

[abstract rock]

Bitch you’re fine

I’m 3.81 4.51 33 grade inflated school white

And I got direct admit to engineering

Not great APs

No extra curriculars

[sinful heron]

umaryland is known to not accept as much people rd tho

atleast from my state

[burnt pebble]

in gen

[abstract rock]

Ye

RD is impossible

[sinful heron]

yea they accept basically everyone EA

[abstract rock]

Mhm

Are you in state?

[sinful heron]

nah out of state

NJ

[abstract rock]

🤢

[sinful heron]

aye

nj is nice

[abstract rock]

My best friend is from jersey

South

Or north

?

[sinful heron]

im north jersey lol

[abstract rock]

Ok so you’re from New York

[sinful heron]

close to nyc

lmao

[abstract rock]

Exactlyyyyy

[sinful heron]

north > south

[abstract rock]

If you’re from New Jersey

You’re either from my

[sinful heron]

except for summer time

[abstract rock]

NY

Philly

Or you’re a redneck

[burnt pebble]

xD

[sinful heron]

id say im ny bracket

lmao

[burnt pebble]

@abstract rock how do u like the city

[abstract rock]

I’m from here

So college park is not a city

It’s just where UMD is

DC is great tho

[burnt pebble]

ohh

[burnt pebble]

fair enough

[abstract rock]

Like

It’s a VERY

defined campus

But I rlly like that

It’s a very education focused school

All about academics

[burnt pebble]

jus looked at the map and realizing that its like right in the DMV

im "from" va

[abstract rock]

Ye it’s in the DMV

[glacial pebble]

What’s UMD’s EA acceptance rate

[abstract rock]

High

Especially since you gotta include freshman connection

[glacial pebble]

What’s freshman connection?

[abstract rock]

Ok

So

You might get a letter on your app

That says spring admissions

So like you start a semester late

But you have the option to do fresh connection

All it is

Is you are a regular student in the fall

But the first semester you take night classes

[glacial pebble]

Lmao

[abstract rock]

I have friends in it

[mental ferry]

@abstract rock what do you think my chances are with
1330 sat 3.6 uw and black in state

some national award but not great ecs

[sinful heron]

was it something you had to choose when applying? or they decide to offer it to you?

[sonic idol]

U said no one gets in tho 😭

[sonic idol]

Bro how what

I work two jobs and do a lot of volunteer work/clubs too

[abstract rock]

You’re prob fine

1330 is great

[burnt pebble]

u rd?

[abstract rock]

Nobody gets in rd

I know 1 person

Who did

Again, it’s rlly hard to gauge if you’re gonna get in it’s a crapshoot

[sonic idol]

Ea

[abstract rock]

And it’s funny cuz I know ppl who are rlly cocky thinking ppl can’t get into this school but in reality if you put in your max effort you’re fine

[burnt pebble]

i think ur fine

[sonic idol]

This is what scared me

Not that I think Maryland was a safety

But I thought it was attainable

[burnt pebble]

lookin at the admissions insta and if they alr know whos in y not announce lmfao

[tawny shadow]

Nobody is an exaggeration

Prob a little more than 1000 get in rd

[sonic idol]

Wait what

Im on it rn

Why r they doing hand deliveries?

[burnt pebble]

thats wut im sayin

if they know then y not tell the rest of us xD

or give a date

its probs friday but

[abstract rock]

NOT AT ALLL

Max 200 get in

[sonic idol]

Wait no this is such bs

Also how do they know that these kids wanna go to Maryland for sure lmao

They seem so confused

[abstract rock]

I have friends on the trip that are in the marching band

[burnt pebble]

thats true actually

[burnt pebble]

im assuming its just applicants who live near the campus

[abstract rock]

59% Ea acceptance rate

18% rd

[abstract rock]

Wdym

They got a bus and everything

[sonic idol]

P solid

[abstract rock]

They driving around

[burnt pebble]

like theyre going to ppl that are in the area and not necessarily like delaware or va

[abstract rock]

Lemme check where they are on snap

[sonic idol]

One lives in Baltimore

Which is very close

D’Mya

Another in oxon hill

[abstract rock]

Wdym one

Someone who was admitted?

[sonic idol]

Of the three they posted yeah

[abstract rock]

Oh I see

[wooden geyser]

what did i miss LOL

[abstract rock]

It’s just a publicity thing

[sonic idol]

So at least two within 30 min

Makes sense

Yeah agreed just rly odd?

[abstract rock]

???

[sonic idol]

Maryland delivering letters to kids

[wooden geyser]

oh?

[sonic idol]

30 min away from campus

[wooden geyser]

for what admissions

im not 30 away but im not super far

lemme check my mail

[sonic idol]

No

[abstract rock]

Lmaoooooo

[sonic idol]

Like with a marching band

It was only for 3 kids

[abstract rock]

Y’all are so confused

Admissions are coming the 27th

That’s all that matters

You know what’s crazy

UMD winter break is still going on

Classes start Wednesday

[burnt pebble]

tbh if i get umd the rest of these decisions will b a lot easier lmao

[burnt pebble]

[sonic idol]

HOWWW

[burnt pebble]

[abstract rock]

College winter break is like a month long incase y’all didn’t know

[sonic idol]

You’ll get a paper decision like a month after electronic ones

[wooden geyser]

[wooden geyser]

[burnt pebble]

[sonic idol]

U only applied to 7 places? Damn

[abstract rock]

Ye

[wooden geyser]

i wanted to apply umiami ed

but its too much financially to commit to

[burnt pebble]

umd, gt, michigan, uva, va tech and ut austin

all of which r taking their sweet time

[abstract rock]

Purdue
Pitt
UMD
Case western
VT
GaTech
VaTech

[wooden geyser]

FR

[sonic idol]

Rn my Villanova and Kelley acceptances r only thing getting me to Friday

That day is gonna suck

[wooden geyser]

ut austin needs to move fucking faster

[burnt pebble]

r u from va?

[abstract rock]

Nah

[burnt pebble]

ion see a lot of oos goin for vt

[wooden geyser]

friday for me is probably ut austin, unc, and umiami, MAYBE umd

[burnt pebble]

tbh

[abstract rock]

I’m from MD

[burnt pebble]

this week is kinda fucked

for me

[sonic idol]

UNC is gonna SUCKKK

[burnt pebble]

only schools i hv hope for r uva, vt and umd

[abstract rock]

UVA is actually such a mid school

Istg

[burnt pebble]

gt, ut and UM r lookin kinda not great

[abstract rock]

Like terrible sciences

[sonic idol]

I have hope for umd and Northeastern

Mich and unc will be rough

[burnt pebble]

flagship state school 🤷🏾‍♂️

[abstract rock]

Maryland>

[burnt pebble]

ye i mean if i get umd im fine

[burnt pebble]

was born in maryland

then moved like 5 times

[tawny shadow]

I have hope for Rutgers umd and unc

[sonic idol]

You’re from North Carolina?

Lucky

[wooden geyser]

im v excited for my unc rejection so i can put lsu in on the fafsa

in state rutgers 😁

[tawny shadow]

Nope in Kentucky. It’s my dream school so naturally I have hope

F the oos admit rate

[sonic idol]

Fair fair

[tawny shadow]

It’s 100% til it’s not

[sonic idol]

Blitz do u know what the defferal rate is by chance

I haven’t been able to find it

[tawny shadow]

For UNC?

Very low considering they only accept 18% oos students

[abstract rock]

Maryland is ranked the #19 public school in the country rn

Overall

But also rankings mean nothing

[burnt pebble]

for cs its tied 16th

[abstract rock]

Rankings are one of the worst things Ever

[sonic idol]

Sucks

[abstract rock]

If you go here for CS

you will never struggle making friends

[burnt pebble]

i jus use it to fill out my list and kinda like a bench mark

[abstract rock]

??? Most ppl I know are oos

It’s all about location to jobs and how u can do research

For example

I’m working on a lunar habitat design research project with NASA as a freshman here

[sonic idol]

For unc

[abstract rock]

Ohhhh

Ye they trash

[tawny shadow]

UNC slander will not be tolerated sir

[abstract rock]

Yes it will

[tawny shadow]

Just mad nc a better state

[abstract rock]

Maryland owns the mayo bowl

[tawny shadow]

Don’t think they played unc

[abstract rock]

No but we played North Carolina

[burnt pebble]

ye

[tawny shadow]

So my chances r high

[sonic idol]

Dub

[tawny shadow]

I accidentally choose test optional

But don’t think that’s a huge problem

[abstract rock]

Lmaooo

[glacial pebble]

I’d be surprised if I didn’t get in at this point tbh

[burnt pebble]

wut score did u hv

[tawny shadow]

1410

I submitted everywhere else

Just clicked the wrong button and didn’t double check

[severe hull]

W

[solemn spruce]

yo

early action more like late action

[upbeat trout]

stupid question, but why is umd cs ranked so high even tho its apparently easy to get into

like why hasnt it become more competitive

like the ucs or ivies

[grim tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/money-mr-krabs-gif-18326632

[abstract rock]

It’s only “easy” cuz there are so fucking many people that do it

Half the entire school is CS

But the location close to DC and also the technology and resources provided

[mental ferry]

my cs teacher told me "I can walk in and out of UMD no problem" but then i went on reddit and saw 1500sat kids get rejected

[tender topaz]

Ur cs teacher is wrong

[mental ferry]

possibly, but within my school's context it might not be that far off

[tender topaz]

Assuming md school?

[mental ferry]

yea

that and 99.9% minority

[tender topaz]

If u have a 1500 and ur in state

UMD CS is probably a lock

[abstract rock]

The CS program got dramatically better

[tender topaz]

It’s the biggest

[glacial pebble]

It was bad before?

Or worse

[abstract rock]

No

It just got BIG

half the school is CS

[glacial pebble]

Oh

[abstract rock]

20000 cs students

[glacial pebble]

Tf

[abstract rock]

It’s a lot

But I mean like if u wanna find a quick hookup it’s ez cuz there are so many down bad cs girls fr

[mental ferry]

bro💀

[abstract rock]

Bro this school mad like that

[upbeat trout]

oh interesting

didnt know that lmao

[upbeat trout]

les go

[abstract rock]

You will never feel alone if you’re CS

75% of the school is CS and engineering

Half of the campus is dedicated to it

[upbeat trout]

oh wow

[sonic idol]

@abstract rock what % would you say is business

[severe hull]

@abstract rock yall school discord is mad and i love it

[grim tusk]

Nah it’s like 5k

[severe hull]

theres 18k in the college of computer, math, and natural sciences

but thats a HUGE college

a fuck ton of majors that arent just cs

[tender topaz]

I can only think of one stereotype

🤣

Go Terps!

[abstract rock]

Roll terps

We say roll terps not go terps

Like bama

But ye

[severe hull]

roll deez nuts

[tawny shadow]

😂

[tawny shadow]

if only umd was as good as bama at football

[abstract rock]

Bama is a football team disguised as a school

We are Mayo Bowl Champions

We’re not the same

[dawn acorn]

Bruh y’all all have good state schools

Ny just has some really mid cunys and sunys

[severe hull]

you have bing and stony brook

and buffalo?!?

[dawn acorn]

Yea I wouldn’t go tho

All mid

[severe hull]

and technically like 1/3rd of cornell

LOL

[wooden geyser]

goddamn mayonaise bowl

[dawn acorn]

Lol. We could do so much better than bing and sb

[severe hull]

very true

[wooden geyser]

what do you get for winning

mayo

[severe hull]

its interesting how NY of all places has a lot of sus state schools

[dawn acorn]

Yea they need to step it up. Nyc should have better cunys

[severe hull]

yeah for sure

[dawn acorn]

My mom went to one of them.

[severe hull]

theyre oversaturated with competent privates

but fuck privates

tbh

except neu

[dawn acorn]

Nyc only has CU and nyu

The only schools I’d ever consider

[severe hull]

true

[dawn acorn]

Actually I don’t want to go to either of them

[severe hull]

as a state yall got u of r, rit, and some nice LACs like colgate

[dawn acorn]

I wouldn’t go to CU or nyu tbh. They’re good schools tho

[severe hull]

i like NYU, its just not worth the amount of money it is

same with all privates actually

my full pay brother 💪

[dawn acorn]

Oh yea. I think the best school in ny is Cornell. But right after that is UoR. I love UoR

[dawn acorn]

Agreed

[severe hull]

i love rochester yess

[dawn acorn]

Rochester was my 2nd choice

[severe hull]

northeastern co-op is good at gaslighting me into thinking its higher return on investment, but tbh

its not that much different

co-op experience is very nice though i stand by it

[severe hull]

W

[dawn acorn]

My friend that got rejected neu Ed applied ed2 UoR. I hope he gets in. But he got the neu transfer thing

The guarantee

[tawny shadow]

oh nah u r not disrespecting the 2 of 3 schools that have accepted me

[dawn acorn]

💀 tough

Lol. They’re not bad.

[tawny shadow]

stony brook > neu

[dawn acorn]

Just not for me

[tawny shadow]

😎

[dawn acorn]

Yea fs

[tawny shadow]

u withdraw ur apps yeah?

or still waiting

[dawn acorn]

I am just a lazy fuck

Also so many schools don’t have withdraw buttons

[severe hull]

like umass i think right

[tawny shadow]

yeah i noticed that

we have to email

which is too much work

[dawn acorn]

Right

[tawny shadow]

u know what i have a idea which can cut the work for ya

[dawn acorn]

Hmm

[tawny shadow]

just email the ones on this list

see im so nice, i got the work cut out for u

[dawn acorn]

Lol why all those

[tawny shadow]

they're all great-decent cs schools

and uky is a state safety

[dawn acorn]

They’re good but I applied to like none of them

Except a few

[tawny shadow]

yeah some less prestigious schools

[dawn acorn]

Hmm

[tawny shadow]

umd portal is so wack

[dawn acorn]

Fr

[tawny shadow]

i can't even bookmark it

well i can

but then when u press it, it says something along the lines of bookmarking the wrong link

[severe hull]

i think that is blitzyt's list

and he wants

less competition

[dawn acorn]

Lol. Maybe

[severe hull]

lmaoo

[severe hull]

why is there BU

boston university should die

[sonic idol]

U mass Amherst is on my hit list rn

Fucking monkey lab

[dawn acorn]

Bu 💀✋✋✋✋🤮

[sonic idol]

Tortured monkeys for more than twenty years

[dawn acorn]

Monkey is crying

[tawny shadow]

yes it's my list

[sonic idol]

As in lethal animal testing

And torture

[tawny shadow]

no

[severe hull]

skill issue

[tawny shadow]

really is for putting us in their last waves

[severe hull]

i love umass

FR

[sonic idol]

Lemme find the article

[severe hull]

no i read the article

i know what youre talking about

[sonic idol]

I’m not insane but animal torture kinda pisses me off

[severe hull]

but its primarily peta propaganda

btw

from what i understand

[sonic idol]

Lmao what

Absolutely not

[severe hull]

wait fr

[sonic idol]

We studied it in apes

[severe hull]

oh damnn

nvm then

send the article

i wanna read

[sonic idol]

I can send the documentary here but it’s sad

[severe hull]

aw

[sonic idol]

BBC3_The Monkey Lab 18Apr17 - video Dailymotion

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x64ebvf

[dawn acorn]

Ok but literally ever College ever has done shit like this in the past

[sonic idol]

Fun fact the experimenter was the student of Henry Harlow

[severe hull]

yeah that tbh

[sonic idol]

This is like current

As in 2023

[severe hull]

oh really?

damn

https://www.lacreuselab.com/know-the-facts

[bitter bloom]

is 3.66 GPA & 1540 SAT disqualifying?

for computer science

[mental ferry]

Based on what he said earlier then he would probably reply “ur good”

[tender topaz]

weighted or unweighted

[bitter bloom]

unweighted out of 4

[tender topaz]

kinda disqualifying unless u have a legit reason

[bitter bloom]

oh rip

[glacial pebble]

No lol that’s not disqualifying lol

[tender topaz]

look at the umd cds

[severe hull]

Exactly my stats damn

[tacit rapids]

that’s in no way disqualifying

i have already been accepted to 2 t50 cs with a 3.6uw and 1500

albeit my weighted is a 4.8

[tender topaz]

what is a t50 cs

[tacit rapids]

for example stony brook is t50 cs according to usnews for undergrad

top 50 computer science school

[tender topaz]

yeah but thats stony brook

[glacial dove]

anyone know how the smith school ranks

[tacit rapids]

idk much about them but i think they are a feeder to nyu

i could be wrong though

[abstract rock]

Any UMD questions you guys have?

[glacial dove]

is the activities center (the gym and Bball courts) good?

[sonic idol]

Fun traditions/“unique” things you’ve enjoyed

[abstract rock]

Epply is actually one of the best Rex centers in the country

Right next to the dorms

[abstract rock]

Testudo offerings

And going out on thursdays

[abstract rock]

It’s massive

And completely free

[glacial pebble]

Is doing a double major/minor hard

[glacial dove]

Holy

[abstract rock]

It’s like 7 stories

[grim tusk]

Stony Brook CS is probably harder to get into

[abstract rock]

Pro tip

[mental ferry]

Are the gyms like fully packed all day? Will I have to be a 5am goer to get to any machines

[abstract rock]

Harder to get into ≠better

[grim tusk]

UMD will just admit you to the school as a whole then have you take a couple intro classes. Both of which are pretty easy

[abstract rock]

I mean like a lot of ppl go but it’s so big that you’re fine

[grim tusk]

Never said it was. Just saying based on ar

[abstract rock]

And a lot of buildings have small gym

[hot flower]

anyone know around what time decisions will come out friday

[abstract rock]

S

[abstract rock]

I got mine at noon

[grim tusk]

Also at least at Stony Brook undergrads get to use the brand new CS building 😤 (being slightly facetious)

[wooden geyser]

do the buildings look as old on the outside as the inside

[abstract rock]

Nah

[glacial dove]

So relatable lmfao

[grim tusk]

ESJ is nice

[abstract rock]

Lemme show you some of the engineering buildings and like ESJ and stuff

[wooden geyser]

i mean

other way around

[grim tusk]

The inside of the old engineering building isn’t great tbf

[wooden geyser]

the thing is

im not engineering

[wooden geyser]

unlike most goons in this server im a bio major

[grim tusk]

I have a picture of my dad sneaking in after a tour and it was exactly the way he remembered it 😭

[abstract rock]

All the buildings are being revamped like this

[wooden geyser]

thats swag

[abstract rock]

And CS and engineering share a lot of buildings

[glacial dove]

do u know anything about smith?

[grim tusk]

Yeah but there’s also that other old ass CS building they’re still using

[abstract rock]

Not rlly

[abstract rock]

The new CS one is fancy af

[grim tusk]

Iirc there’s only like three classrooms for undergrads in Iribe right?

[glacial dove]

Wonder how smith is ranked

[wooden geyser]

the bioeng building looked sick

[abstract rock]

No

God no

You’re so wrong lmao

20000 CS students at UMD

[glacial dove]

Does umd have good dorms?

how’s the layout there

[abstract rock]

I never go there cuz I’m aero but my booze friend loves it

[wooden geyser]

greek life decent?

[abstract rock]

Like yes and no

[wooden geyser]

BOOZE FRIEND

[abstract rock]

Freshman dorms yes

[wooden geyser]

i love that

[glacial dove]

Mm

[abstract rock]

Upper class men no

[abstract rock]

Ye

Surprisingly

[wooden geyser]

ooh

[glacial dove]

I’ll live off campus by then ☺️

[wooden geyser]

also why tf the stadium chopped in half

[grim tusk]

https://www.cs.umd.edu/article/2022/09/umd’s-computer-science-undergraduate-program-climbs-two-spots-no-16-us-news-rankings

[abstract rock]

It’s great

[wooden geyser]

its like theres only half the stadium for seating

the other side is just a fucking wall

[grim tusk]

Lot of college stadiums are like that

[wooden geyser]

interesting

most of my schools are massive football schools

like i know rutgers stadium is in ground mostly

[abstract rock]

So

Like

The upper levels are huge

But we don’t have great turnout

[wooden geyser]

ah

[grim tusk]

Also yeah I remember this. Most of the space in Iribe isn’t classroom space https://www.reddit.com/r/UMD/comments/n213cn/questions_about_the_cs_department_at_umd/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

[abstract rock]

Also athletics are free

[wooden geyser]

i love going to games

OH SHIT

to watch?

[abstract rock]

Classrooms don’t matter

It’s about research space

And study space

[grim tusk]

Ik I’m just saying it’s mostly research in there, I think I saw an article where undergrads were kinda pissed because a lot of the building is for grad students

[abstract rock]

Ppl just sent proactive and don’t get involved

[glacial pebble]

How hard is it to double major btw

Or minor

[abstract rock]

Minor

Easy

Double

Is no more difficult than any other school

Still dumb in my opp

[glacial dove]

The games are free???

[abstract rock]

Yes

Every sport

[mental orbit]

does anyone know the oos acceptance rate for umd

[abstract rock]

The same as in state

By proportion

[mental orbit]

oops i meant to clarify for cs

[abstract rock]

Ok

So people don’t understand this

There are two processes

First is admissions

They have certain info

After you are accepted to the school

They pass you off to LLPs

[mental orbit]

ohh i see

[abstract rock]

Then LLPs look at you

[mental orbit]

similar to vtech then

[abstract rock]

And they don’t have access to oos in state info

Ye

For them it’s pure numbers

They don’t know your race

Your nothing

[mental orbit]

lol good to know

thanks though

[dawn acorn]

so not true

[dawn acorn]

neu 🙂

[abstract rock]

The fuck are you talking about

I know ppl with 2.0s 1200 in hotnors

[tacit rapids]

by any chance do you know the acceptance rate for stony brook cs?

[grim tusk]

Don’t really know for sure. However I absolutely have heard of people getting rejected instate with 1500s (usually because they go to an insanely competitive public school)

[tender topaz]

probs in state

[tacit rapids]

alright, thanks

[burnt pebble]

were we supposed to apply to honors on common app?

i jus looked at my app cuz i dont remember selecting it or fillin anth out

[tacit rapids]

i think you are automatically considered

[burnt pebble]

o aiit

wut r the perks to being honors @abstract rock

[tawny shadow]

Aka going to stuy, btech, or bronxsci

[grim tusk]

Yup

[dawn acorn]

bro bths is dead easy to get into these days

[abstract rock]

Housing and easy A gen Ed’s

Most gen Ed’s have low grade averages

But honors gives you all your gen Ed’s for free

Classes are harder tho

[burnt pebble]

is it like an option available with ur acceptance later or u hv to apply

[abstract rock]

I’m in state and it barely helps

Trust me

It really doesn’t help

Most students are out of state

[abstract rock]

Option

[tender topaz]

bruh

[abstract rock]

That’s

Based on

Grade inflation

But like yea

It ain’t easy

[tender topaz]

well ofc

[burnt pebble]

wuts the black student population like

[abstract rock]

Very diverse

I went to a high school that was 29% white

And it feels like that

I know ur not engineering but the society of black engineers is rlly big

[burnt pebble]

i went to a hs that was 99% black and now im in a hs thats 88% white

[burnt pebble]

thats cool

[abstract rock]

The president is black so you can understand how the school promotes diverse hiring

[burnt pebble]

https://tenor.com/view/hamlin-green-flag-flag-racing-represent-gif-12063270

[abstract rock]

It’s majority minority

[tawny shadow]

Are you making fun of the school that I would of went into if I stayed in NY

[dawn acorn]

its ass 💀 all my friends there hate it

trust me youre better off

[tawny shadow]

At a top 10 ky school taht isn’t top 1000 nationally

I guess it’s fate and destiny

Bths is wild tho for the stuff they do

[dawn acorn]

yes we are both better off. i go to a tiny school with 700 kids. 5% acceptance rate though

[tawny shadow]

Mines is 2000 ppl, with 99% acceptance rate as long ur in the district 😎

[dawn acorn]

W

[abstract rock]

Private school nerds

[tawny shadow]

Public school sir

[dawn acorn]

public

[tawny shadow]

I think it’s bc we pulled the acceptance rates 😂

[dawn acorn]

maybe

[rough nexus]

same

its like 2 different worlds

[burnt pebble]

for me i jus moved from africa xD

so would be diff regardless

[rough nexus]

lmao

[native crystal]

is umd coming out friday

[burnt pebble]

maybe

[abstract rock]

Yes

It’s a target

[royal coyote]

Lol I’m self studying it

Cut off for a 5 is 50 percentish

[late pilot]

let's hope

[mental ferry]

time is moving too quick it’s really less than a week away

top choice

[sand marten]

@abstract rock Is UMD EA OOS CS a safety if I have 1520 (800M, 720EBRW), 10 AP, 5 DE, and 3 honors?

Or target?

Ok so like Purdue ig

is UMD CS less selective than purdue?

[rugged dust]

way less

[sand marten]

oh then im chillin

i think

[rugged dust]

UMD isn't that hard to get into

also adi whats ur gpa

[sand marten]

my prediction is gtech for some reason lol

im def getting rejected from uiuc

lol

[rugged dust]

thats not a number

[sand marten]

idek

lets see

[rugged dust]

gtech goofy

goofy school

[sand marten]

3.94

[rugged dust]

yeah umd is no problem

[sand marten]

oh yea oops i left that out in my initial question

[rugged dust]

1s

man university

v

[sand marten]

i thought GT had a higher admit rate for females

[rugged dust]

obv not

[sand marten]

damn ig the applicant pool is hella skewed then

[sand marten]

no im p sure they do lol

[rugged dust]

look at this ratio

obv not

[sand marten]

yea

its that skewed

like they have a higher percentage of males despite the higher admit rate for females

[rugged dust]

unless no women apply its a direct translation

[sand marten]

so that tells u how skewed the applicant distribution is

right?

k

yea

YES

i slayed that

okok

yea my uiuc essays were hella mid

GT was decent

so lets see

😈

[glacial dove]

to the point where...

i haven't used organic chem tutor all year
