[ornate bone]

[shrewd scarab]

[dim wagon]

It gave me a 2 on my common app, short answers, and long responses

Please admit

[flat scroll]

it won't rate my essays accurately so idk if i'm asking it right or wrong

[ornate bone]

ME TOO TWINSIES

[flat scroll]

i feel like it defaults to a 2 tbh 😭

[dim wagon]

Yessssssss admitted to the farm next week?

Perhaps, but that's ok

It's a 2✨

[shrewd scarab]

the farm??

[ornate bone]

That’s what I was thinking 😭

[flat scroll]

how do i do this chatgpt thing

[lost zodiac]

the qualitative comments are def more important

[ornate bone]

Does this demonstrate intellectual vitality

[sleek heron]

yes

stability? no

[ornate bone]

intellectually curious and mentally unstable

[shrewd scarab]

fr

[mortal pecan]

yes

absolutely

[lost zodiac]

I would also add

Most admits get a 2

[shrewd scarab]

A TWO

[dim wagon]

these were my qualitative assessments

[shrewd scarab]

oh wait

[dim wagon]

also yes

if you get a 1

[shrewd scarab]

1 being best

[dim wagon]

you're absolutely broken and cracked

[shrewd scarab]

i thoguht you meant 6 being best 😭😭

im so tired

[dim wagon]

idk why chat gpt switched it around but eh

one of my friends who got in had like, 3s and 2s with an overall of 2-

that was back in 2020 though so

[shrewd scarab]

oh they let you see your app file when you get in?

that's pretty neat

[dim wagon]

yeah

[lost zodiac]

writing about LGBTQ is a cheat code

[shrewd scarab]

doubt 😭

[dim wagon]

😭

welp

[ornate bone]

Awww these r so sweet

[ornate bone]

😒

[dim wagon]

I can say though

I actually would love to witness that

[ornate bone]

The ballroom?

[dim wagon]

Yup, I'm big on ballroom lol

[ornate bone]

ooh

[dim wagon]

Like I watch them everyday

[ornate bone]

That’s actually a good point

[mellow sentinel]

💀💀

[ornate bone]

It’s always so hetero oriented

But that’s a lot of things

[dim wagon]

Yeah

[mellow sentinel]

⁉️huh

[ornate bone]

I never rly thought abt it for ballrooms thought

[ornate bone]

like it’s always straight couples doing those fancy dances

[mellow sentinel]

They're jus dancers

[ornate bone]

yeah ik lol

[cobalt folio]

I got a 1 on a random essay I wrote at 00:00 of new year explaining my passion for robotics and where it stems from

[ornate bone]

[heavy tapir]

Ok buddys just gonna ignore me

[ornate bone]

[heavy tapir]

Black dress pants, white buttoned shirt, black blazer

[shrewd scarab]

probably same as hoco as well for my school's prom

[heavy tapir]

Yooo me too

[shrewd scarab]

[ornate bone]

WWW

[cobalt folio]

Same mine is enchanted Forrest

[ornate bone]

[heavy tapir]

Yeaaa hollywood theme

[cobalt folio]

Ga

[shrewd scarab]

you could be the paparazzi

[cobalt folio]

That was an option for us as well

[flat scroll]

tbh at this point i also wouldn't be mad if i didn't get into stanford

[mellow sentinel]

[flat scroll]

it's just interesting seeing the dark side of top schools

[shrewd scarab]

bro said dark side and did not elaborate

[lost zodiac]

palo alto is crazy for startups

[dim wagon]

Lol I just like crossbones better

[flat scroll]

wdym 😭 i mean stuff like stanford's massive war on fun / social events, like getting rid of greek organizations on a small amount of violations, as well as how current students describe it

[shrewd scarab]

it does look cooler

[flat scroll]

plus ive read the food isnt amazing other than like. one hall idk

[shrewd scarab]

ngl i hate greek life so

[flat scroll]

but it is also a rlly good school still so

[lost zodiac]

greek life isnt bad

[hallow pendant]

[ornate bone]

[hallow pendant]

im not saying that i wouldnt attend if i didnt get accepted but this is just something i'm looking into/exploring, a lot of the articles are pretty interesting reads

[shrewd scarab]

i think generally colleges fail to respond to sexual assault

[flat scroll]

that too

[shrewd scarab]

not that it's stanford alone

[night shard]

i have a specialized link which gives access to gpt 4

[flat scroll]

it's not really stanford only but it is worth nothing

[ornate bone]

Oo send

I’ve been wanting to try gpt 4

[mellow sentinel]

Most complaints are the similar at every school fr

That's just reality

[ornate bone]

Yeah

[mellow sentinel]

Shit about fun, that's all on you to make it an enjoyable experience imo

[flat scroll]

just let me cope and seethe about next saturday 💔

[night shard]

check if this works

[lost zodiac]

its not sat

its friday

[night shard]

https://chat.openai.com/chat?model=gpt-4

[flat scroll]

oh thanks for the correction i forgot that it's not friday

[shrewd scarab]

[lost zodiac]

gp4 is paid and much beter

[mellow sentinel]

This is 3

[mellow sentinel]

I had to sub as soon as it went out lol

[night shard]

hmm im not sure why it shows that for you

[lost zodiac]

when will stanford rerelease llama

$20/mo is good deal

[mellow sentinel]

Was fine but they kept decreasing the rate limit, not it's not really worth it

[mortal pecan]

exactly

25 for 3h

[mellow sentinel]

It was 100 messages/4hrs when it was first out

Last I checked it's 25/3 💀

[mortal pecan]

crazy

[lost zodiac]

who cares

[mellow sentinel]

Me 😭

[lost zodiac]

gpt4 is only useful in certain cases

[mortal pecan]

like pretending to be an AO

[mellow sentinel]

True but if your paying $20 for a chatbot

[lost zodiac]

honestly

[mellow sentinel]

[mortal pecan]

I use gpt as peer review

[lost zodiac]

gpt4 is better for stuff like that

[mellow sentinel]

I use it to summarize things I don't want to waste my time reading

Can get the general gist (or more) of articles etc

[lost zodiac]

gpt3.5 is good for that

its faster

[mellow sentinel]

Ya it's great

[lost zodiac]

when i need to submit something for school

gpt4 is essential

[mortal pecan]

me when i have been replaced as an AI in all of my classes

[mellow sentinel]

People that get caught using ai for school are jus stupid 💀

Jus change the sentence structures ⁉️

[flat scroll]

i don't use chatgpt for something like that tbh cause i prefer to absorb it on my own and go through the process

i learn a lot better that way 😇

[mortal pecan]

send it a sample of your actual writing and say use your tone and structure

easy

[mellow sentinel]

When your English teacher asks you to find and read an analysis on Macbeth

Chatgpt 🫣

[mortal pecan]

never had to touch shakespeare in HS

[mellow sentinel]

I wish I could say the same

[mortal pecan]

other than rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead

which i read some hamlet for

[mellow sentinel]

Im not tryna sit down and read about death and nature for 5 pages when I can get a summary from the gods

[mortal pecan]

fr

[flat scroll]

i had to do romeo and juliet

[lost sandal]

I read Romeo and Juliet, midsummer night’s dream, Macbeth, and Othello 😍

[mortal pecan]

[mortal pecan]

we did a lot of poetry

nikki giovanni, anna akhmatova, nazik al’malaika, carol ann duffy

[split atlas]

[mortal pecan]

[split atlas]

you didn't miss out

[mortal pecan]

😭

[split atlas]

haha

[shrewd scarab]

[sleek heron]

the worse book ive read in ap lit is fucking moby dick

[split atlas]

noooooo

[sleek heron]

after that was passage to india

[shrewd scarab]

it made me read mccarthy's other books

[split atlas]

ah we dodged a bullet and didn't have to read that one

[mortal pecan]

it was good

i had to skim it

i like mccarthy

i ordered the stranger

i was obsessed with camus

too

[split atlas]

we are doing some dystopian and just finished reading Do Androids Dream of Electirc Sheep ... 10/10 would recommend

[shrewd scarab]

all the pretty horses made me cry

[split atlas]

sounds weird but trust

[shrewd scarab]

i started electric sheep but i couldn't get through it 😩

[split atlas]

really?

sounds like we have opposite taste lmao

[mortal pecan]

i’ll look into it

i’ve got a massive to read list

[shrewd scarab]

yea probably

[mortal pecan]

including feynman lessons on computation and feynman 3 book series for physics

[split atlas]

but we're both going to get into stanford 💪

[mortal pecan]

but i’m going to get through camus first

[shrewd scarab]

for sure ☠️ ☠️

[split atlas]

hahahaha

[shrewd scarab]

what's the bee emoji in your nickname stand for?

[split atlas]

goergia tech

[shrewd scarab]

[split atlas]

[sterile python]

[night shard]

seems like it doesnt work

[sterile python]

ye

[wind eagle]

stanford might announce tomorrow

!!

exciting

last rd announcement

[flat scroll]

what

how do you know ???????????

oh

you mean

announce 😭

i thought you meant send decisions for some reason

[wind eagle]

ya i was just sayhing

bc if its friday theyll announce

[hybrid shadow]

Should I follow my Stanford AO on Instagram?

[heavy tapir]

No mail

Lmao

[hybrid shadow]

their accounts private so im gonna have to send a request

[flat scroll]

are you serious or not seroius

serious

😭

[mortal pecan]

use your brain

[hybrid shadow]

im serious

[mortal pecan]

literally use your brain

[flat scroll]

no because it's basically stalking

💀

[deep wren]

this isnt the yale thread bro

[dim wagon]

nah do it

[mortal pecan]

if you can apply to stanford you can recognize that stalking your AO won’t help you

[dim wagon]

i wanna see what happens

[hybrid shadow]

i just wanna see what they're up to

[flat scroll]

yale cc thread is so fucking bad

[deep wren]

Havent joined it lmao

[mortal pecan]

yea cus they’re posting “just admitted EKmaster” on their story

[lost zodiac]

im pretty sure yale aos arent public

[mortal pecan]

they aren’t

same with harvard

how so

[flat scroll]

guys who's ur regional ao 🙄

[hybrid shadow]

for me its some young girl

[sleek heron]

🤣 its crazy that thats public info

[hybrid shadow]

they say they're from Venice on insta so i guess italian

[lost zodiac]

theyre all young

[sleek heron]

like some of yall def stalking your aos on linkedin

[flat scroll]

the worst book was The Poisonwood Bible

it was so fucking boring

that was the worst book i read all year

[hybrid shadow]

they went to Northwestern

[lost zodiac]

usually yale aos went to yale

[flat scroll]

stop stalking them you're going to get an restraining order offer atp 😭

[lost zodiac]

all this just for a quick reject

lol

[hybrid shadow]

im just getting to know the person

[flat scroll]

to be fair if we go by past portal astrology then dates changing mean they made a decision 🙄

but it also seems insane

[mortal pecan]

no

[mortal pecan]

bro

[mortal pecan]

you don’t

they don’t care

you’re the number in their decisions letter

[flat scroll]

to be fair there ARE exceptional cases where they do remember an applicant but that's if an applicant stands out so much in some way

[mortal pecan]

still

[flat scroll]

aka like 12 year old applying to stanford

[mortal pecan]

stalking someone won’t give them that impression

[shrewd scarab]

hopefully he's trolling haha!

[lost zodiac]

they def remember applicants

does anyone have date change

[flat scroll]

nope

[lost zodiac]

I dont think anyone does

[flat scroll]

makes sense

maybe they fixed it

[night shard]

lets go now im 3,2,2

:(

[flat scroll]

what happened 😭

[night shard]

washu happened

stupid school

[wind eagle]

It’s ok my aid was god awful lol

I was flabbergasted 💀

[night shard]

[wind eagle]

[night shard]

the net price calculator said i need to pay 65k

[hallow pendant]

[sleek heron]

@cosmic breach found ur reading list 2023

[stray granite]

I want stanford for the food

apparently the food is good

and maybe get great academics on the side :>

[flat scroll]

i've seen that the food is only good at one dining hall but it might be old advice

[stray granite]

it's better than hopkins

they have tater tots 24/7

[shrewd scarab]

id eat tater tots 24/7

[mellow sentinel]

That sounds mad subjective 💀

[flat scroll]

ikr

and i don't think it rlly matters

[mellow sentinel]

We'll find out in a few months 🕵️‍♂️

[flat scroll]

update me if i end up not getting in

🙏

[undone mauve]

day 2912496 of hoping that being a silicon valley tech bro will get me into stanford

[frosty bear]

does anyone know of a confirmed decision date

[flat scroll]

if it's the 31st we'll get an email today probably

[frosty bear]

hmm i see

thanks 👍

[flat scroll]

either way its

definitely the 31st or 1st

because it's always been the day after ivy leagues

[frosty bear]

ah i see

bro if they did it on april fools day

sent out 96% acceptances and 4% rejections

[subtle forge]

with my luck i’d still be in that 4% 💀

[wicked oriole]

They have diff cuisines

I tried 2

They were botb gas

[dim wagon]

do they have a good asian cuisine

[wicked oriole]

Definitely

Entire dining hall

Wilbur dining hall

[dim wagon]

yessssssssss

please admit

[unique quarry]

has anyone confirmed with stanford on the exact date of decision release?

bro

we can see the video ourselves

💀

i am rickroll-proof

the discord gods have protected me 🙏

[night shard]

as a person that ate food at stanford, the food is good and affordable, (Went to Jimmy V's cafe outside the main quad)

[dusky island]

btw do you want to be trapped in campus?

[night shard]

yes, if its stanford

[split atlas]

Real

[stray granite]

I like fooooood

[night shard]

im hungry

[hybrid beacon]

fuck everything i just want stanford

[low swallow]

Decisions released 4/1

[glass surge]

did they say?

[hybrid beacon]

where is that mentioned, i didnt get any emails/ portal updates

[hybrid beacon]

if you're trolling thats not funny
(a rickroll would have been but thats alr used up)

[glass surge]

please dont send me another link to a "stanford counselor video" that is rlly just a rick roll

[lost sandal]

Do they send an email?

[hybrid beacon]

idk man

[hearty moon]

Stanford is historically April 1

Past couple years have all been that day I think

[night shard]

No it’s not, it’s historically after ivy day

[hearty moon]

Oh I stand corrected then

[glass surge]

well thats probably april 1 then this year right? ivy day is march 30

[dull delta]

march 31

if its after ivy day

[rain dagger]

Please I love my Stanford essays but the roommate essay RUINS it

[ornate bone]

this is so real

[wind eagle]

they dont really care about it

its like a general personality assessment

[hybrid shadow]

i would say they do since it and your common app personal essay are the only two things that show how human you are

[wind eagle]

i mean that it wont get you in

and most people are capable of being a normal human lol

[hybrid shadow]

they cant see that through your app though, how your mind works, what drives you, what your freinds see in you. These qualities existence beyond one's GPA, test scores, and activites and are often what "good fit" defines

[flat scroll]

it differentiates people in a sea of similar ecs and stats

[hybrid shadow]

yea

[wind eagle]

idk like if u look at stanford admission files

ive never seen an ao place weight on the roommate essay

its kinda just there

[flat scroll]

i think it's just all of them in general

[wind eagle]

iv more important

[ornate bone]

roommate probably shows the most humanity

and

likeability maybe

[wind eagle]

and iv comes from the intellectual topic essay

[grizzled pecan]

I wrote in the roomate essay that I'd give them sloppy toppy every day

[wind eagle]

BASED

auto admit

[ornate bone]

can we be roommates

[hybrid shadow]

Oh, and ALSO, if you get in your actual roommate will see that essay

[grizzled pecan]

oh hell yeah 😈

my roommate gon have the time of his life!

[lost sandal]

👀

[flat scroll]

in my roommate essay i wrote about writing a roommate essay about writing a roommate essay about writing a roommate essay and ad infinitum

[neon solar]

i remember someone wrote their roommate essay about building a snow man

[runic talon]

the roommate essay really do be the great equalizer

[neon solar]

ive heard that they don't actually do that

[hybrid shadow]

a Stanford student told me

[neon solar]

i think its a common rumor

[neon solar]

they probably told you to scare you lol

[rain dagger]

No my what's meaningful to u and why serves as a personality thing

[hybrid shadow]

its more so focused on your intellectual vitality

[rain dagger]

I started the essay by saying that it's the first but not last letter they'll see from me because I basically leave lots of notes and poems and stuff for people 💀 and then went into other stuff

[rain dagger]

Oh I thought IV was the first one

I wrote about freedom of expression and very personal things in my last essay

So idk if it'll show IV

[flat scroll]

same

i wrote about being alive

and appreciating it

[rugged laurel]

PLEASE STANFORD

PLEASEEEEEEEE

MANIFESTING

my essays were so good

PLEASE

let me in

[rain dagger]

I loved Stanford short responses

I loved everything about the essays

Except the roommate essay

But who cares

Let me in

[dim wagon]

If Stanford let's me in I will give someone a juicy kiss on da lips

[wind eagle]

did they still not announce

its prob saturday then

its like customary to announce a week prior right

[terse notch]

sameee

[rugged laurel]

THANK YOU

I thought I was dead cus I didnt get the interview email thing

[terse notch]

nah im pretty sure i got rejected bc i was offered an interview and didnt do it

i just realized thats prob what got me rejected i completely forgot i did that

what a dumbass right

[rugged laurel]

well I cant lie and say it's not a bad look

but you never know

[terse notch]

true

[rain dagger]

I just emailed a department at Stanford for sth unrelated to admissions and I hope they answer me before decisions come out

Because if I get rejected and they answer after that it's gonna hurt more than the rejection itself

[tawny dagger]

when's stanford coming out

[dim wagon]

What about international student applying for chemistry?

[grizzled pecan]

most likely the day after ivy day

(march 31st)

[hallow pendant]

block them if you get rejected

[grave rampart]

Hardest a2c edit to ever drop

[undone mauve]

we need this as the banner on stanford day

or ill revolt

[grave rampart]

That's what I was working on

It's the icon

[undone mauve]

fair

[icy rock]

leland stanford junior

[night shard]

i applied for Chem too!

[night shard]

Leland Stanford Jr. University

[rain dagger]

I can't I'm kinda in charge of translating parts of their events in my native language so I just have to deal with it 😭😭😭

[wind eagle]

Probably next Saturday right

If they still haven’t announced I’d think

Thursday - Saturday is gonna be hell of a 48 hours 💀

[split atlas]

Either Friday or Saturday

[lost zodiac]

@grave rampart thats so great lmao

[rain dagger]

Now this rejection is gonna hurt😭😭😭😭

Please accept me Stanford

😭😭😭

[hybrid shadow]

who did you email?

ur AO or just general admissions?

[rain dagger]

The Iranian studies department

[rain dagger]

Nah it was unrelated to admissions

BUT

They're so nice

I wanna go there so bad

LOL

Idts

They have nth to do with admissions

[hybrid shadow]

ok, email ur AO, and ask them if u got in or not 🙂

problem solved

[rain dagger]

Why tf would I do that

I'm just simping over Stanford

No I emailed the department directly

[lost zodiac]

rip

its too late

[rain dagger]

Yeah I think it's too late too

[hybrid shadow]

Committee happens mid March

[rain dagger]

And what I'm doing is kinda illegal

[lost zodiac]

nah there isnt only one committee

[rain dagger]

In Iran. Not in general.

[hybrid shadow]

oh yea, theres also another for ED

[lost zodiac]

nah

and committee isnt how you think

[hybrid shadow]

wdym, isn't it the admission team sitting at a table and saying smash or pass to applicants?

[rain dagger]

I mean I've been hosting these for so long but didn't mention it on my app at all

So why would the admissions office care

[lost zodiac]

There isnt just one committee that decides everything mid march

[rain dagger]

Yeah I also think they've finalized stuff

[lost zodiac]

obv

[rain dagger]

No wrong reply

But doesn't matter lol

[lost zodiac]

u def should have included that in ur app

The last stanford essay

[hybrid shadow]

hope I get rejected so I can make them realize their mistake 20 years later when I hopefully become a billionaire

[rain dagger]

I sent the wrong financial form to Stanford, I think if they were interested in me they'd ask me to correct it or sth by now

[lost zodiac]

good chance stanford isnt a thing in 10 years

[rain dagger]

I did talk about sth similar in the last essay

[lost zodiac]

jokes

[hybrid shadow]

why? Harvard has been around for 300+ years

[rain dagger]

But I don't wanna have the title "host" on my app that's risky

[lost zodiac]

Stanford is very diff

[rain dagger]

They don't even have a checklist for that lmao

[rain dagger]

Yeah they're gonna regret rejecting me fr

[ornate bone]

Wait did Stanford accept updates 😭

[rain dagger]

But this program is unmatched in the world

[ornate bone]

Eh wtv too late

[rain dagger]

It's not an update I emailed a department unrelated to admissions and asked some questions about a project they recently started

This isn't even linked to my app

[ornate bone]

Ohhhh

Icic

[rain dagger]

But yeah Stanford did accept updates

I sent one mid February about an award

[subtle forge]

i sent one like march 10th

i doubt they’re gonna see it but whatever

[ornate bone]

Hmm ig I didn’t rly have anything worth updating its fine

[rain dagger]

Harvard has sth similar but it’s not as good as Stanford’s

And we don't like Harvard ew

They also misspelled my name😂

But it’s a common misspelling happens everyday so I don't blame them

Please I'm perfect for that program

IF ONLY STANFORD HAD A LONGER WHY US ESSAY

I'd simp so hard

Ugh

Take me stanny

[icy rock]

fr

[ornate bone]

There was a why us essay??

[rain dagger]

One of the short responses

[ornate bone]

Oh

[rain dagger]

What's one thing u wanna experience at Stanford

[ornate bone]

I wrote about something I want to experience but I didn’t write it like “why stanford”

it is unique to Stanford but it’s not like the actual reason I want to go to Stanford just like a fun reason

Wtv

[rain dagger]

No mine was really Stanford specific

But I also wrote about the campus cat network so it was kinda fun too lol

[ornate bone]

not sure I did it right 💀

[rain dagger]

For the historical event question I legit condensed 3 events in one😂😂😂

[ornate bone]

Ooh

[rain dagger]

Please I need to go to Stanford

It's the only school that offers every academic thing I want

[errant garden]

Stanford is overrated!!!

[lost zodiac]

yeah my experience short response was really simple

[errant garden]

[rain dagger]

Penn too. But Stanford is really sth else

[ornate bone]

Even if I don’t get in

I actually liked writing those essays

[cobalt folio]

I applied to Stanford because it has good weather

[ornate bone]

they were some of the few essays I actually enjoyed writing

[cobalt folio]

(And its very good for CS)

[rain dagger]

I didn't know where it was when I was applying I thought it's in Boston 💀💀💀

My perception of the US is screwed fr

[cobalt folio]

Istg thats the other side of the country

[errant garden]

That’s MIT and Harvard haha

[rain dagger]

I know now

[ornate bone]

Harvard is in Massachusetts?????

[cobalt folio]

Yes bro

[ornate bone]

oh

[cobalt folio]

That’s so hard to pronounce tho

How do Americans say Massachusetts and mess up easy foreign names

[rain dagger]

Part of Massachusetts means your shart in my language

[ornate bone]

Mah sah choo sets

[rain dagger]

The chusetts part

😂😂😂

Like

[cobalt folio]

I thought so 😭

[lost zodiac]

bruh

[rain dagger]

Ikr

[lost zodiac]

Tbh yall too focused on the ranking

[rain dagger]

Who

Well I kinda have to be I need aid

[lost zodiac]

if u go to stanford and just cruise thru, u will prob get less than if u went to a state school and did the same thing

[rain dagger]

And I can't get a visa with low ranked schools

[rain dagger]

Ah makes sense for domestics

[cobalt folio]

My parents absolutely wouldn’t let me go to a low ranked school

[tulip bolt]

and then what happens if you don’t get into a high ranked one

[cobalt folio]

I stay in the uk

[tulip bolt]

damn

[cobalt folio]

And get sick every month due to the bipolar weather

[rain dagger]

Oh UK has some great schools though

[cobalt folio]

That’s true… but UK as a country is boring

London>> anywhere else in UK

[rain dagger]

My only hope is that ik I'm not screwed without an interview

So there’s still a tiny chance

Idt Stanford likes updates that much tbh

I'm gonna become a pick me for STANFORD

[lost zodiac]

it doesnt matter bro

[rain dagger]

What doesn't matter?

Updates?

[lost zodiac]

if ur from UK likely ur not gonna be a pick me im sorry

yeah

[rain dagger]

I'm not from the UK lol

[lost zodiac]

oh wait nvm

[rain dagger]

I'm from Iran

[lost zodiac]

Muslim?

[rain dagger]

Born one yeah. But not really

[lost zodiac]

yea same

[rain dagger]

Yk even if you're not born Muslim you have to pretend that you are if you wanna live lol

[lost zodiac]

in iran

[rain dagger]

Yeah

[lost zodiac]

I highly dont believe in religion ruling state

[rain dagger]

It's fascism + Totalitarianism wrapped under a layer of religion. Worst combo ever

STANFORD

It has stan in its name

Ugh

I wanna get in

[dim wagon]

@ornate bone

[cobalt folio]

… you’re not wrong

[mellow sentinel]

Portal

[rain dagger]

Via portal
I just had an award and an invitation for a camp so it wasn't long

[flat scroll]

i think you have to do portal lol

500 characters is a lot of characters

just be short and concise

[rain dagger]

Yeah

[mellow sentinel]

U don't gotta write another essay 💀

Jus say what u did

[rain dagger]

Yeah that's why I think they're not interested in updates that much

[flat scroll]

i didn't

i literally just said "dear stanford, xxx"

that's it

[rain dagger]

I was like hi I won this and this is what gonna happen in the next months

[mellow sentinel]

Ew 💀

[flat scroll]

like i just said hi

[rain dagger]

Lol I said hello

[flat scroll]

to stanny

🫶

[mellow sentinel]

When I sent an update I just says "I did this this this and this"

[rain dagger]

Yeah basically

Mine wasn't even close to 500 characters

[mellow sentinel]

I don't think it was even a complete sentence

[flat scroll]

i did two and neither went over 100

[rain dagger]

I didn't even had anything else besides that award

Like it took all my time basically

[flat scroll]

i personally just said i joined this thing at school and then also told them ab something i left off the original app by accident

[wind eagle]

Mine was like 2 paragraphs and it fit

I feel like there’s plenty of room

[rain dagger]

And I got injured too lol

[rain dagger]

Yeah

Also

It's better if you upload it directly

I made pdfs for other schools

They didn't have a box to submit directly

It was annoying

[ornate bone]

@dim wagon

rice

🍚

[dim wagon]

manifestin

So i created a quick confidence interval
my chances of admission to stanford lie between 0 and 100%

100% CI is the best CI

Stats 🤓

[mellow sentinel]

That margin of error through the roof at 100% cl

[dim wagon]

firestar

[ornate bone]

i am 100% confident i will either be accepted, waitlisted, or rejected by stanford

[dim wagon]

I am 100% confident I got into Stanford.

[ornate bone]

im 100% confident ill get the same decision as eversoda

[rain dagger]

I'm 100% confident.

[ornate bone]

but now im sad bc i got rejected cmu :( realistically i think i will commit to gtech unless i get berk/pton/stanford by some miracle

[flat scroll]

i have a 50% chance of getting in because either i get in or i don't

[rain dagger]

Are u intl?

[ornate bone]

no

[rain dagger]

Oh ok

[ornate bone]

why

[rain dagger]

I wanted to say past rejections don't necessarily indicate the strength of ur app if you're intl and especially

If u need aid

[ornate bone]

oh 🥲

ahahha its okay

i know my app isnt like super competitive

but i can hope 🤞

[rain dagger]

Dw mine isn't either but stay hopeful

[ornate bone]

mhm

[rain dagger]

Yup🤝🏼

[ornate bone]

yes

well still deciding

but probably imo

[hybrid shadow]

[heavy tapir]

[night shard]

[subtle forge]

i would do anything

no exaggeration

💪

[night shard]

[ornate bone]

Ooh

[heavy tapir]

[ornate bone]

Stanford admit

[heavy tapir]

yes

[ornate bone]

According to the portal astrology thing I got rejected Berkeley

So Stanford is my last chance 😭

[heavy tapir]

berkeley is where stanford rejects go anyway

[ornate bone]

And ivies ig

[ornate bone]

True!!

[sick mesa]

lol my stanford L is loading

[leaden pollen]

stanford is the superior cali school anyways (i did not apply)

[mellow sentinel]

What was it lol

[leaden pollen]

no portal astrology talk

its probably wrong too just wait 4 days for ur decision

[hybrid shadow]

Did you guys finish setting up your Cardinal Quad?

[minor lance]

what??

[errant garden]

But don’t invest ur time into that stuff haha

[narrow elbow]

[waxen rune]

🤨

[narrow elbow]

🫡

[hybrid shadow]

its a place where you can talk to other Stanford students

[minor lance]

how do u access that?

[hybrid shadow]

just search it up, it should be the first thing that pops up

[minor lance]

well tbh it's fine. Not like I'll get in (I'm prob auto reject) so I don't wanna look at all that to be disappointed :(

[rugged laurel]

I got in

[hybrid shadow]

They should show this video if you get admitted, like Yale and Columbia, https://youtu.be/J4uVVz57-yI

[rain dagger]

We're basically playing a lottery.

[visual comet]

harvard had a video too this yr :) in the letter body itself

stanford one looks better tho

[undone mauve]

fair enough

admissions are like roulette but you have 1/6 probability of surviving

[stray granite]

1/6th!!!?!

1/100

At least

You gotta factor in the probability of getting in, too

[wicked oriole]

No

This video

https://youtu.be/RCo0EHLqTVI

The hype is crazzzzy

[split atlas]

🔥🔥

Just admit me stanny 😩

[thorn thicket]

hell yeah the only rzn ill pay 90k/yr for stanny is so that they can shoot shit like this

[wicked oriole]

I watched that video every day before decision release

I was so scared

[thorn thicket]

This is the first time i'm hearing stanford has a video ngl

I thought it was just confetti

cause

https://youtu.be/r8J7xCmI_ro?t=503

[mellow sentinel]

DAYUMMM

[mellow sentinel]

It is, no video

[thorn thicket]

ah

[sleek heron]

@cosmic breach massive L

Only good schools get videos ig

[hybrid beacon]

given that I would very likely be rejected with both columbia and stanford idk which school to roast in a reply to this
ah nvm I'll just do both

[cosmic breach]

Buddy, I’m getting a brand spanking new data science building beginning my sophomore year while you have to work in a concrete block literally called the Mudd building…

[hybrid beacon]

when your ranking is 3 times your acceptance rate

[mellow sentinel]

💀💀

[cosmic breach]

Goddamn

[mellow sentinel]

I'm not taking that if I were you @sleek heron

[cosmic breach]

^^^

[hybrid beacon]

still better than making copium diss tracks on better schools

also i love stanford and columbia, someone pls accept me🙏

[sleek heron]

Nah too late

Already contacted the ao to get u blacklisted

[ornate bone]

😶

[sleek heron]

🔪🔪

[cosmic breach]

🇨🇴 is the best school ever

[hybrid beacon]

ah well

(also apologies to any columbia/stanford student, just overdosing myself with copium to prep for rejections)

[viscid vapor]

STANFORD I WILL ACCEPT THE TREE GLADLY

TAKE ME

[dim wagon]

Does this mean Squidward community college needs to have a 0.33 % acceptance rate to be considered a top school 😭 that's not fair they admit everyone!

[ornate bone]

I got rejected :/

[dim wagon]

it's cuz you wrote your common app essay about being a furry

[ornate bone]

It was amazing

[dim wagon]

the AOs did not show the same energy 🙅

Also, the first page of our Squidward handbook says "We are not accepting of furries"

[ornate bone]

I thought I was being a trailblazer

[dim wagon]

trailblaze a diff college L + ratio

[viscid vapor]

just found out georgia tech is better at comp eng and mechanical and 5 other eng fields than stanford

wtf

[ornate bone]

😢

[ornate bone]

Thank u for helping me cope

Can u say the same for cmu and Berkeley

[viscid vapor]

yes

Georgia Tech is only second in most rankings to MIT

thats it

[shrewd scarab]

georgia tech is ranked #1 in the whole world 🔥🔥

[hybrid beacon]

i heard its op at criminology too

[ornate bone]

1. Aerospace - #1
2. BME - #2 (wtf)
3. Chem Eng - #2
4. Civil - #2

6. Electrical - #2

[viscid vapor]

All ivies minus brown, stanford, duke, berk left

Since I live so close

[shrewd scarab]

i would only go to stanford/berkeley over gtech cs honestly

[mellow sentinel]

Mad expensive 😭

[ornate bone]

what about princeton

[sweet pewter]

The Stanford guy didn’t spend all his time talking abt himself

[viscid vapor]
