[dim wagon]

i never had to send official transcript anywhere

for cc

unless they asked specifically

[ornate bone]

whos joking?

[wind ridge]

oh

[hybrid beacon]

idk man, just wanted to sneak in a chandler reference

[ornate bone]

where did u list courses

[dim wagon]

on uc app

oh wait this is stanford 😭

common app

[ornate bone]

yeaa

[flat scroll]

guys 3-4 days

[vital wing]

ive lost track of time

[worn mauve]

Just can't wait 😭

[crisp patrol]

When does stanford usually announce a decision release date?

Like how many days before decisions?

[woven valley]

yeah they didn’t

[split atlas]

Generally either day after Ivy day or April 1st

They will release the official date/time soon

(If they do it like they did rea

[flat scroll]

stanford encroaches near

[vital wing]

NYU and Cal both out of the picture. This is my new home for copium.

[split atlas]

stanny is about to be your home for the next 4 years 💪

[vital wing]

🥹 yours too!

[stable wraith]

oh gosh

this is getting stressful

[slim sable]

i got an interview for stanford two months ago w a 3.6 weighted gpa bruh

how do they determine who gets interviewed

[shut trench]

availability, not the strength of your application

literally just availability.

[slim sable]

aw man

i thought i was different

[shut trench]

No, not at all. Just another way to show another part of yourself to admissions

there were a lot in my area, so everyone i know at my school who applied got an interview regardless their stats. we all had different interviewers too.

literally a 2.8 kid that got an interview lol

[slim sable]

oooo okoko

[shut trench]

he is in no clubs and is not an interesting guy, but he got an interview for whatever reason.

[slim sable]

ty

[sleek heron]

@cosmic breach

[shut trench]

i mean he's in chess club but that's it so partial fib 💀

[cosmic breach]

I will strangle you

[shut trench]

i'm so confused 😂

[rugged laurel]

Bruh

[shut trench]

(hence to show that interviews are based on availability lol)

he literally told me that his interviewer asked him about why he wanted to go to stanford and he said that he answered "i don't know"

[cosmic breach]

We're irl friends, he's a bane on my existence

[rugged laurel]

I agree theyre availability but that's harsh

[shut trench]

ahhhhh yes i understand now

[shut trench]

Sorry for my being blunt?

[ornate bone]

Jeez… 😭

I don’t think it’s fair to call someone uninteresting unless u actually know them but even then

[rugged laurel]

Well idk how can u know for sure he's not interesting unless ur like his best friend

[ornate bone]

^^

[shut trench]

I've known them for a decade 💀

[rugged laurel]

I can't imagine you're very close to them ngl if youd say that about them but if you are fair enough I suppose

[spring glade]

did anyone do an art portfolio?

[shut trench]

Elementary buddies, we've since separated naturally.

[shut trench]

Well he even said that he applied to Stanford just for the fun of sending a trash app so i think it's very fair.

thanks for justifying him though lol 😂

I told him what I've said here about him applying to stanford ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[spring glade]

i mean yolo

u never know. if u don’t try.

[shut trench]

v v true

[sweet pewter]

They want a diverse class

Maybe ur friend is what they need

[spring glade]

i hope that’s me

[dim wagon]

so um

if you appled EA to MIT, you couldn't REA stanford right

just checking something

[heavy tapir]

I think its the other way around

If u rea to stanny u cant ea to mit

But yea

[dim wagon]

oh ok thx

[heavy tapir]

Im not 100% on that tho bc idk how stanford rea works but thats generally how rea works

[rugged laurel]

Pretty sure its true ye

[ornate bone]

stanny i beg pls accept me 🙏

[heavy tapir]

“Okay” - stanford admissions

[ornate bone]

does that mean yes or no

[heavy tapir]

Yes

[ornate bone]

yayyy

[heavy tapir]

Why would them saying okay to you asking for admission mean no

[ornate bone]

well

okay is more like

acknowledgement

[cosmic breach]

Yeah for Stanford REA you can only apply to public schools early

[wide tapir]

Is Stanford 30 or 31?

[rugged laurel]

Suspected 31 but not confirmed yet

[ornate bone]

either march 31 or april 1

[flat scroll]

i'm diversity point 😻

[neon solar]

Yeah I'm an immigrant + Hispanic + first gen college, please Stanford

[stray granite]

I have absolutely no diversity to offer but stanford pls

[ornate bone]

Me too!!!

[flat scroll]

i'm completely deaf

stanford please

[split atlas]

Lol same

[ornate bone]

Im a Bay Area asian male in cs

Please accept me Stanford

[rugged laurel]

My diversity is the middle of nowhere OK and being from the worst school in the universe please take me

[flat scroll]

This is my new mascot

[sterile python]

i love it

[rain dagger]

I'm diverse take me Stanford

But also international and poor so ig not

Stanford you will regret rejecting me.

Save yourself while you can.

[subtle forge]

fr i’m so diverse

asian female doing bio for pre-med?

unheard of

[dim wagon]

[unreal quarry]

decisions coming out this friday at 4pm PT confirmed! https://admission.stanford.edu/

[heavy tapir]

thats 7pm est?

[unreal quarry]

yup!

[heavy tapir]

fuck im gonna be at work when i get rejected lmao

[unreal quarry]

check it at work so you don't need to stress afterwards lol

[heavy tapir]

yea i dont have the patience to wait

i open all my decisions right away no matter what

[unreal quarry]

same lol

[heavy tapir]

i opened my williams one in the ER 😭

[unreal quarry]

BRO WHAT

wow...

tell me u got in

[heavy tapir]

i got waitlisted

i was happy with it tho

i never really like thought abt college before this year

so getting wl at williams and getting into bc is honestly probably more than i even deserve lol

[unreal quarry]

nah ur gonna get into stanford on fri too

[flat scroll]

@mortal pecan are you able to pin this

oh wait

[mortal pecan]

ur funny

[flat scroll]

ur not guardian of rankings anymore

😭

[mortal pecan]

bop is hilarious

[flat scroll]

umm

@dim wagon can u pin this

[wanton vigil]

I just received some pretty significant awards and other things. Is it too late to submit an update?

[mortal pecan]

Yes

[flat scroll]

i think it's literally irrelevant at this point

[mortal pecan]

they already made your decision

committee ended early march

[heavy tapir]

probably, decisions are out in 2 days basically

i mean wouldnt hurt to try

tbh

[wanton vigil]

Why don’t they just release decisions in early march then?

[heavy tapir]

they probably need time for other stuff

they dont finish and drop decisions right away

[flat scroll]

they need time to officially choose the class out of the admitted applicants

probably

[heavy tapir]

but u can send it in and try

[mortal pecan]

id save

save for waitlist

[unreal quarry]

final committee only begins march 1st at Harvard (from the lawsuit) and decisions are made until like the second last day to the last day if need be for lopping

[heavy tapir]

actually yea thats better idea

[unreal quarry]

so stanford must be similar

[mortal pecan]

they can’t do anything with it now

[heavy tapir]

save for waitlist

[unreal quarry]

^^

[flat scroll]

none of my dates have changed 😇

[heavy tapir]

i think they fixed that

[mortal pecan]

!portal astrology

[flat scroll]

tbh probably

[mortal pecan]

so true

[drowsy oar]

The stars have not aligned for you today.

Instead of doing portal astrology, why don't you astrologize your chances of going outside?

Used 49 times.

The stars have not aligned for you today.

Instead of doing portal astrology, why don't you astrologize your chances of going outside?

Used 50 times.

[wanton vigil]

Oh, I just submitted it like a minute ago. Will they still look at that information if I get waitlisted?

[flat scroll]

doing it to myself

[mortal pecan]

instead of observing the stanford portal how about you parallax a celestial object with some bitches

[flat scroll]

@ornate bone @rugged laurel @dim wagon the date

pinging stanny regulars

🙏

[ornate bone]

Okay the fact I’m being called a stanny regular is gonna make this even sadder when I get rejected

[heavy tapir]

how am i not a stanny regular smh

[flat scroll]

u already saw it

😇

there's more stanny regulars i just scrolled up a bit

[heavy tapir]

we need an a2c stanford meetup when we all get accepted 😄

@mellow sentinel will be our host since he got in rea and hes obviously better than us

[flat scroll]

i'm probably not going to be accepted but i'm fine with it cause i'm idolizing the schools i have been accepted to

unless there's a true statistical anomaly

cause my ecs are pretty lacking honestly

[heavy tapir]

you're gonna be accepted trust

[flat scroll]

bro i only had 7 ecs 😭

[heavy tapir]

same

and only 2 of mine were good

the rest were basically filler

[flat scroll]

like sure i have a 4.2 W but i have a 3.7 UW

that's fair

hoping my essay carries tho

[heavy tapir]

people in here said stanford was one of the most holistic schools

so

also a 3.7 isnt bad

kayak got into upenn with a 3.6

[flat scroll]

oh that's fair

i do fit their act though

so i'm fine with it

i was waitlisted from uchicago and got gtech pathways so at least top colleges might want me 😻

[golden hare]

Damn kayak is collateral damage 💀

[heavy tapir]

ay i wasnt flaming her or anything

i said a 3.7 isnt bad

neither is a 3.6

anything is possible

dont ban me

[golden hare]

It's okay I don't like the mods anyway

[heavy tapir]

carlys gonna ban you

there is no freedom of speech here /j

[golden hare]

@mods this was a joke ❤️

[mortal pecan]

no top colleges want me 💀 but that’s ok

[heavy tapir]

no top colleges want u?

bc is my only t50 acceptance out of like 8 attempts lol

[golden hare]

what major?

[heavy tapir]

econ

prolly switching to math + econ with cs minor tho

[mortal pecan]

straight rejects from all of the colleges i applied to except my safety

[dim wagon]

how fun way to ruin my Friday

[mortal pecan]

we’ll see ivy day

then it’ll all end

[heavy tapir]

i think the only reason bc even accepted me was bc im a muslim applying to a jesuit college 😭

[golden hare]

funny how BC has become one of the "easier" boston schools vs NEU and BU. But everyone still knows it's a better school

[heavy tapir]

^^

neu with the fake acceptance rate trolling ppl smh

[golden hare]

they say "religious affiliation" is important on their CDS that's crazy

I've never seen anything higher than considered

[heavy tapir]

its bc theyre a christian school

so they want a mostly christian class

but obv gotta accept some other religions for diversity lmao

[golden hare]

yeah but there are a lot of religiously affiliated schools that don't really care that much

especially the top schools

damn just say you're catholic when you apply lmao

[heavy tapir]

what other top schools have religious affiliation?

well i feel like at bc it was lowkey a boost

since theres probably already very few muslims applying

[golden hare]

also a joke mods 💀

[golden hare]

Notre Dame, Duke

Georgetown

Villanova

Emory

[heavy tapir]

okay thats a lot

i had no idea they were religiously affiliated other than nd

[golden hare]

Georgetown and Villanova are also catholic

emory and duke are some type of protestant

I don't think those schools care too much about your religion though. Perhaps ND does?

nah ND is just "considered"

[rugged laurel]

I'll be opening ivy and Stanford from hospital bed too

Major surgery in 7 hours lol

[golden hare]

duke is "considered", georgetown is "not considered", villanova is "not considered", emory is "not considered"

[heavy tapir]

damn gl bro

[golden hare]

so BC is really out there

[heavy tapir]

i feel bad bc u cant even celebrate when u get in

[golden hare]

hospital food

hospital cake lmao

[mortal pecan]

good luck, stay safe!

[mellow sentinel]

[mellow sentinel]

I did at the end of Jan and I'm going back for admit weekend at the end of April

[heavy tapir]

[flat scroll]

i'm terrified for stanford and for some reason i secretly have a hope i don't get in so i don't experience massive imposter syndrome 😭

[heavy tapir]

are there baddies

[mellow sentinel]

It looks like a museum

💀the imposter syndrome gonna go crazy

[heavy tapir]

[mellow sentinel]

[flat scroll]

!stanford

[grizzled pecan]

not to be discouraging but uchicago waitlists like everyone RD

[sterile python]

is it /timer

[flat scroll]

oh yeah no i get it

i just mean for uchicago at least i was waitlisted and not just flat rejected

[heavy tapir]

@waxen rune timer pleaseeee

[storm wagon]

rich piana 8 hour arm workout first day at stanford so people think i’m mentally insane

or like a day before classes

[flat scroll]

i don't rlly consider myself competitive so a waitlist from uchicago was nice

[leaden pollen]

wl is always better than a reject

[heavy tapir]

i just hurt my shoulder playing volleyball so no more arm days for me

[leaden pollen]

at least they cared enough abt you

[storm wagon]

😭😭😭

wish u fast recovery!!

[ornate bone]

(hopefully i change to stanford kid on friday :D)

[cerulean gazelle]

manifesting for you 🙏

[ornate bone]

thank u 🤞

[flat scroll]

why am i so nervous even tho i should be doing hw rn 😭

when ik my chances are low af 💀

the only thing i have about me is that i'm completely deaf and that's it

my ecs are mediocre af compared to reddit 😭

[ornate bone]

real

ppl out here with like nonprofits making 3508723857238k a year

in MONEY

[cerulean gazelle]

why yall comparing urselves to people who dont touch grass 🤨

[ornate bone]

because i dont touch grass either

i havent gone out in like 2 weeks

but i think friday im visiting sfo with some friends and using the bart and evertyhign

[cerulean gazelle]

slay

[storm wagon]

so real

[storm wagon]

didn’t go out for 2 months straight when we had lockdown and online classes in 2021 😭😭

[small jungle]

My ecs are the only chance I have lol

I did test optional

And my gpa was only like 3.87 or something

[flat scroll]

weighted or unweighted

[small jungle]

Unweighted

Weighted doesnt matter I dont think right because it depends on the school

[flat scroll]

i have a 3.7 uw

[small jungle]

I think my weighted is like 4.99

[flat scroll]

ta

ya

[small jungle]

But I sold on the sat lol I only got a 1410

and also I had no idea about college stuff until like

5 months ago

so I only took like 3 APs

[flat scroll]

i have a 4.2 weighted but i also have some of the most rigorous courses like 11 aps at my tiny school where the avg person takes 2 max

[small jungle]

but 10 dual enrollment courses

[flat scroll]

i also have a 34 act but a 29 math

[flat scroll]

de is just as fine

[small jungle]

Bruh 34 act is crazy

[flat scroll]

idk why you're worrying

[small jungle]

Nah but I'm doing 4 courses now and I don't think I reported them lol

So maybe they didn't get all of em I honestly don't remember

[flat scroll]

ur unweighted is literally fine too i don't think you'd be rejected for lack of academics or rigor

[small jungle]

Well that's good to hear lol

[flat scroll]

maybe sat? idk

[small jungle]

Yeah but I didn't submit it

since I could do test optional

[flat scroll]

oh then it's probably fine

[small jungle]

but I saw this. I don't think it's smart to put how much you actually made in your essay right?

[flat scroll]

nope i don't think so

[small jungle]

because I made my own business and coded everything from the ground up but I didn't put how much I made

[flat scroll]

essays aren't humble brags

[small jungle]

I just put like some stats about people using it and stuff

ok good

[flat scroll]

meh, i could say its bad or good but id have to read to say anything

i wrote my common app on being completely deaf and the difference between me and hearing ppl and how accepting my identity led to fulfillment

[heavy tapir]

Not in essay but prolly ecs tab

[flat scroll]

^

[small jungle]

damn I should've put it

[small jungle]

wow that's probably really good

pretty unique too I bet, you definitely have a good chance

also I just checked and I did put the dual enrollment classes thank god lol

[flat scroll]

you can read it if you want 😭 ppl from my school were messaging me ab my essay

deadass this girl i despise and dont talk to ever even contacted me just for the essay

which is so jarring

theres prolly like a slip on my stanny file that says "diversity admit" because of my disability lol

[small jungle]

yeah sure you can dm it to me if you want

[flat scroll]

i did 😇

personally if u started a startup / business.. tbh stanny LOVES that

[dim wagon]

If.i get into stanny

[undone mauve]

they do?

[ornate bone]

then.

[ornate bone]

for some reason i didnt put my dual enrollment classes in my grades i put it in additional info jdskghlgkfd

[small jungle]

did not even know that additional info was a thing tbh

you mean like under the essay or whatever?

its been like almost 4 months since I applied so I don't remember

[ornate bone]

i did it like this i just hope its fine like this

[ornate bone]

yeah

[small jungle]

ah

why'd you blur the course names?

[ornate bone]

mm

im not sure

i dont think i did a very good job anyways

[small jungle]

lol

[novel crane]

wait can i read it LOL if ur comfortable i'm lowk curious how someone else approached deafness / if we wrote the same reason

[flat scroll]

YES

sent it

😇

[dim wagon]

Im doing diff eq rn

It's pain

[ornate bone]

I LOVE DIFFYQ.

[deep wren]

imo its actually really great

[ornate bone]

its so

mindless

like in the zone shit

its sm algebra tho

u just gotta not make any mistakes or its over 😭

[deep wren]

Like for any stem major knowing how to solve odes is super useful

[deep wren]

omg yeah and they dont ever give you calculators for that class

ig depends on the class

[heavy tapir]

Diff eq like after multi variable?

What do u do in diff eq?

[deep wren]

I took ODEs in an engineering context so I actually felt like I had real applications and enjoyed the class (also fuck matlab)

[ornate bone]

i feel like u can do diffyq without multi but u need partials some times

[heavy tapir]

Im taking ab rn so idk what partials are

[deep wren]

I mean unless youre doing PDEs you basically wont need partials

[ornate bone]

u know how in AB

u have

[deep wren]

but you will need linear alg for systems of odes

[ornate bone]

f(x) = 5x^2

and f'(x) = 10x

[heavy tapir]

Those are partials?

[ornate bone]

no thats regular

[heavy tapir]

For ab i no zero vocab

[ornate bone]

but now lets say u have f(x,y) = 5xy + 3x^2

so multiple variables

and i want to find the derivative of f with RESPECT to like X , i would treat y as a constant:

f_x = 5y + 6x

and f_y (treating x as a constant) = 5x

dunno if that makes sense

[heavy tapir]

Yes it does

[ornate bone]

yay

[deep wren]

congrats you now know multivar

[heavy tapir]

Oh, cool!

[ornate bone]

now we gotta do vector calc

[heavy tapir]

My school sucks, they only offer ab

[deep wren]

all my homies hate chapter 16

[ornate bone]

mine does ab, bc, and stats

[ornate bone]

that sucks

[heavy tapir]

Oh we do stats too

[ornate bone]

bc is really fun

[heavy tapir]

Ap stats

[ornate bone]

ye

stats is ass

[heavy tapir]

Yea a lot of my friends like it but i dont

Ab > stats

[ornate bone]

so real

[deep wren]

Stats is the worst class imaginable

[heavy tapir]

My school makes us take pre calc 🤢🤢

[deep wren]

I got a flat A in diff eqs, linear alg, and calc III but I have a B in second sem stats because its SO BORING

[heavy tapir]

And rather than allowing us to skip pre calc and do ab jr yr then bc sr yr theyre offering AP pre calc 😭

[deep wren]

like fuck two sample t test z test for H0 bullshit fuckery

[heavy tapir]

How did u take all that in hs bro

What kinda math were u guys doing middle school

[deep wren]

Lin and calc III were offered at my school

[ornate bone]

wtff

[deep wren]

we love big public schools

[ornate bone]

i had to take lin alg, multi, and diffyq at community college

[heavy tapir]

What

I can understand maybe calc 3 but even lin is crazy

[deep wren]

well the class was at school but taken via sdsu so I have sdsu credits

[deep wren]

theyre both semester long courses

[ornate bone]

yea

[heavy tapir]

1.5 hour blocks?

[ornate bone]

my classes were 2 hours long for multi and diffyq

~1-1.5 hours for lin alg

[heavy tapir]

I hate long classes

I need a break in the middle

[deep wren]

youll love college then

[ornate bone]

yea we had breaks

[deep wren]

My school just has 1 hr 40 min classes no breaks

[ornate bone]

i have favoritism from diffyq prof tho so i go on my phone

[heavy tapir]

If i have breaks im fine and its better than 45 mins, but no breaks is so bad

[ornate bone]

WHAT

NO BREAKS???

[deep wren]

Yea you get used to it

[ornate bone]

this is my bell schedule

[heavy tapir]

8:30 start????

[ornate bone]

yes

[deep wren]

dont question it

[ornate bone]

california mandated recently

8:30 start time

[deep wren]

I actually have a free 1st so literally every day I have a 9:35 start

[heavy tapir]

Oof i wish i went to hs in cali

We start at 7:25

And it moves earlier every year lol

[deep wren]

hey we take dubs where we can

[ornate bone]

Wordle 648 4/6

⬛⬛⬛⬛🟨
🟩⬛⬛🟨⬛
🟩🟩🟩⬛🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

[heavy tapir]

And i get out after u latnor

[deep wren]

bro what

[heavy tapir]

1:55

Not a lot but still

[deep wren]

people at my school complain about 3:25 releases

[heavy tapir]

Wait 3:25?

[ornate bone]

their final period starts at 1:45

[deep wren]

oh yeah

[heavy tapir]

OH i read thag wrong

[ornate bone]

ends at 3:25

[deep wren]

cali doesnt win everything lmao

we lose a lot

[heavy tapir]

I’d rather have it that way tho

[deep wren]

TRUE

SAME

[heavy tapir]

I can stay up all night easier

Or i could i should say

[deep wren]

I mean I stay up too much anyway

even with a 9:30 start

today I didnt even wake up because I snoozed my alarm and slept right through it

[heavy tapir]

Yea i slept in and missed my ap stats practice test today

Then i was like fuck it, ill miss my normal classes too

[storm wagon]

russia was:
8:30 starts
14:20/15:15 classes end

8:30 all 11 years

[deep wren]

That makes perfect sense lmao

[storm wagon]

and we had shorter periods after pandemic

there was 1 big one in between 3rd and 4th class which was 20m maybe

rest were 10m

[deep wren]

the pandemic fucked my schools schedule so hard

[storm wagon]

before it was ranging from 10 to 25 minutes (periods)

[deep wren]

I have had a different schedule in each of my 4 years in hs

[deep wren]

The fuck

[storm wagon]

is that a lot or no

[deep wren]

how do you even learn in that short of a time

[storm wagon]

no

that’s breaks

[deep wren]

OHHH

lmfao

yeah in the pandemic we had 20 minute passing periods

[storm wagon]

class was 45 min, they changed it to 40 after covid i think

[deep wren]

thats also short tho but at least learnable

[storm wagon]

lectures at uni were 1,5hr each with 10m break

not only lectures sorry

[deep wren]

that s why our schedule alternates every day between different classes

[storm wagon]

seminars too

but yea i’m really interested in how us schools and unis work

we didnt even get to choose classes

you chose a specific route:
Math+Physics
Linguistics
Biochem
Socioeconomics

and there was something else

[dim wagon]

Fuck bitches have sex

Except.the bitches are Bernoulli equations and the sex is getting pegged by substitutions

[undone mauve]

mostly cry into my notebook and hope that the problems solve themselves

[runic talon]

debatable

[ornate bone]

fuck that shit

[runic talon]

what does that even mean 😭

[ornate bone]

nobody care abt no y^n !!

v = y^1-fuckbernoulli

[hybrid beacon]

would not being as cracked as other kids give me diversity points

[runic talon]

it is bad in the wider context of t20 college admissions

someone getting in with a 3.6 doesn't negate the fact that you're much less likely to get in with one

[hybrid beacon]

average a2c statistics be like: ^

[heavy tapir]

Yes but my point is its still very possible

[hybrid beacon]

as long as you prove apt academic proficiency within appropriate rigor, 0.1 or 0.2 points on the gpa wont make a world of difference
it just so happens that gpa is very often the tool to do so

[undone mauve]

i thought i saw someone up there say stanford really likes it when you have a business or a startup

is that so?

[hybrid beacon]

i wish

[ornate bone]

i think so

stanford is big on entrepreneurialism i thought

[undone mauve]

if it does i have some hopes for myself

[runic talon]

yes. anecdotally, pretty much everyone who gets in from india has one, and more often than not it's created specifically for college apps

[ornate bone]

i wish not !!!

[hybrid beacon]

wait wtf
just realized stanford is the one school where i didnt write a supp on my startup

[ornate bone]

💀

[hybrid beacon]

its in my ecs ofc but uh...

[undone mauve]

i just included it in my personal essay

[ornate bone]

idt it amtters that muhc

[undone mauve]

my personal essay is an autobiography tbh

[undone mauve]

that's fun

[hybrid beacon]

i mean ofc its not a requirement but i'd have wanted those startup brownie points

[undone mauve]

my grades are kinda average so i'm gonna need all the leverage i get

[ornate bone]

i mean idt it beign in supp vs in ECs matters that muhc

[undone mauve]

our school is like a semi feeder and it deflates our grades so fucking much

[ornate bone]

personally i think having a startup/npo/business or whatver will give u a big advantage

[undone mauve]

that tracks

[ornate bone]

i know 3 ppl who got into stanford, 2/3 owned an npo

actually 4, 3/4

well 1 was a business i think not npo idk

[hybrid beacon]

i have no idea what drugs i was on in December
i legit used that startup on every supp but stanny's
whats wrong with me

[ornate bone]

anywyas i dont own a startup or npo or business so ah aha ha haa

[undone mauve]

im too proud of my startup to not be talking about it everywhere possible

[hybrid beacon]

tbf i did consciously choose to write on other topics, altho it'd still be cool to atleast dedicate a short meniton to it

[undone mauve]

it's okay its not like not owning one hurts your chances in any way

getting rejected from BU and vandy did a number on my confidence tho idk how much my ecs can help

[hybrid beacon]

hallo sir,
You misspelt yield protected. Please fix it sir

[undone mauve]

lmao

thank you so much

[hybrid beacon]

10 bucks say the link in your about me is a rickroll

[undone mauve]

dude i literally go around telling everyone it's a rickroll

people open it anyways

[ornate bone]

wonder if anyone has ever wrtiten an essay on that

[hybrid beacon]

someone would have

imagine if they waitlist that applicant and go "never gonna give you up"

[undone mauve]

statistically there's a chance that there has been an essay on everything

that means someone wrote an essay on american psycho let that sink in

even more fun fact

in a utopian society if ivies coordinated admissions then together 8 ivies would have around 40% acceptance rate combined

making it into a chain of ivies in the true spirit of america

[hybrid beacon]

huh

well what would you say is the average number of ivy acceptances received by anyone an any ivy

[undone mauve]

5% in each ivy with a combined application to all and if one ivy chooses a student the others can't since the student is a seeming fit for only that ivy

[hybrid beacon]

well yeah i got that, it still doesnt make logistical sense

[undone mauve]

i did mention utopian

[hybrid beacon]

fair enough

[hybrid beacon]

question stands

[undone mauve]

hmmm

i'd think 2-3 tops?

surely you can't be a fit to more schools than that

[hybrid beacon]

well we could break it down perhaps

for instance someone going to hyp could prolly have 2 maybe?
i mean its no gurantee ofc but if you get into harvard, you have an above average chance at brown as well (ofc brown rejects many harvard admits, this is merely an example)

[undone mauve]

yes

i think for this we should look at what the colleges ask of students

what does harvard want, what does brown want, and what do all the others want

then we could find the overlaps

and the students that fill in the overlaps could be selected to those many schools

but we'll have to create quality groups for this

those

like let a quality group be entrepreneurship

[hybrid beacon]

fair

[undone mauve]

this is just like A/B testing

decision cycles is like a festive season

UCs were the real opening party

ivy day is the grand finale

and stanford and duke are the after party

except all the kids are drinking poison not booze

[runic talon]

tbf the cross-admit rates are already super low, else dartmouth would have like a 10% yield

[hybrid beacon]

screenshotted to dartmouth aos

[undone mauve]

fair enough

[hybrid beacon]

[undone mauve]

dude just imagine

there must be that one dude

who got yield protected from fucking ivies

[runic talon]

playing hard-to-get dw

[undone mauve]

there's gotta be

[runic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/obi-wan-kenobi-of-course-i-know-him-hes-me-gif-12774102

[undone mauve]

fair

[hybrid beacon]

well tbh most ivies have 65-70% ish yield

they wont exactly care enough to yield protect

not to mention how cracked that person would have to be

[undone mauve]

exactly

[tame dome]

maybe from cornell but i doubt anywhre else

[hybrid beacon]

oh yeah cornell yield protects a lot

[undone mauve]

i know a girl who got into cornell because daddy's money

[hybrid beacon]

specially in ed

[undone mauve]

she's intl

[tame dome]

ye

[runic talon]

literally 70% of ivy admits 😭

[undone mauve]

sigh

no but my school itself is filled with 50% ivy admits

because daddy's money

[tame dome]

crazy\

[undone mauve]

there's very rare kids who do actual work

dude i love the rejection simulator

[dim wagon]

Bro who the hell needs pdes outside of engr

Pdes are useless unless niche engr

[runic talon]

lmaoo I was so surprised when I watched a double integration vid

had seen a few questions before and was expecting it to be some super complicated stuff

found out it was literally just integrate...but twice

[ornate bone]

well

it is more nuanced than that

for example change of variables

conversion to polar is VERY useful

but yea in essence its just...integrating twice!

[lucid bough]

Guys, my portal says Stanford on it. Is this a sign?

[novel sonnet]

It’s a sign you applied to Stanford yes

[terse notch]

lol

[hybrid beacon]

96% of the people with portals get rejected
portal is a bad sign

[undone mauve]

guys my girlfriend's telling me she wants to break up

is this a sign

[hybrid beacon]

of schizophrenia yes,
you dont have a girlfriend

[lucid bough]

But 100% of people that got accepted had this, so I think this a really good sign

[undone mauve]

i mean 100% of the people who got rejected had it too

[flat scroll]

Guys is this a sign?

[mortal pecan]

did you know 100% of people who got rejected by stanford applied to stanford

[hybrid beacon]

undercover stanford AOs looking at this thread and striking off names

[mortal pecan]

i’ll make sure to troll when stanford comes out

[hybrid beacon]

I'll just get trolled by stanford

[terse notch]

💀

[undone mauve]

ill troll stanford

[mortal pecan]

I GOT IN ||i didn’t apply||

[scarlet lance]

Great!

[terse notch]

why didnt u apply

[mortal pecan]

i wanted to apply to mit

[terse notch]

ohhh

did u get in

[mortal pecan]

and stanford didn’t have a good astro program

[mortal pecan]

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[terse notch]

oh yeah that sucks

[mortal pecan]

anyway

[terse notch]

LOL

[hybrid beacon]

i ruined upenn's supps cuz it clashed with stanford's deadline and now i dont have a chance at either 🤡

[mortal pecan]

already planning to transfer 😋

[undone mauve]

it's okay i have an incoming rejection sweep

[mortal pecan]

i’ll make sure to apply to stanford next year

[terse notch]

yeah thats why i chose stanford over penn

[hybrid beacon]

me looking at grad school acceptance rates fr

[terse notch]

i wasnt gonna work on both

[mortal pecan]

yeaahhh

good thing i’m going to grad

astro undergrad doesn’t matter

if you can get the opportunities

[terse notch]

fr

same im planning on getting a PhD

[mortal pecan]

worst case scenario i go to uofa undergrad and uofa grad

both are top 10

[terse notch]

damn thats good asf

worst case scenario is i go to ga tech for compe

[undone mauve]

i wanna get a phd in comp sci and my family is so astronomically shocked and offended that i'd choose a phd over engineering

[terse notch]

so im happy with whatever

[hybrid beacon]

although it does get your foot through the door when it comes to networking in an extremally recognition based community

[mortal pecan]

you should def still check out arizona

steward has like infinity researchers in there at once

they have 250+ onsite

[hybrid beacon]

uofa has orz astro yeah

[undone mauve]

i'd gotten an offer from oufa

in like

11th grade

[mortal pecan]

yeah

[terse notch]

how

[mortal pecan]

i got accepted in less than a week

[undone mauve]

i just applied rolling admission for the kicks of it and they took me in

[terse notch]

oh niceee

[mortal pecan]

they only oook until end of 11th

[hybrid beacon]

i know who the person in your pfp is but i cant quite place them and its driving me nuts

[undone mauve]

it's the guy from the series freud

[hybrid beacon]

AH alright

[terse notch]

ughhh i need to know if i got in

im so stressed

[hybrid beacon]

my parents when me stressed:
"dont be stressed 👍 "

[terse notch]

fr

same

[dim wagon]

I think I'll get into berk tomorrow and then sweep rejections on Friday

Realistically

[vital wing]

I'm rejected from berkeley as per the megathread

[night shard]

bro i feel like im gonna get rejected

[earnest escarp]

yo has anyone else seen this?

[ornate bone]

I think Berkeley reject and I’ll get into one ivy and then we both get into Stanford

[dim wagon]

Oh yeah facts

[hollow terrace]

where is this?

[ornate bone]

[heavy tapir]

Its litawlly pinned

[hollow terrace]

oh solid

[hybrid beacon]

why does every school need to release decisions at 4:30 in the morning for me

[ornate bone]

idk man

[undone mauve]

i just wanna get into a top college is that too much to ask for

[grizzled pecan]

So, just as predicted, Stanford is releasing the day after Ivy day

lol

[dusky island]

the worst feeling is when parents make you more stressed

so I just give them zero transparency about everything

[undone mauve]

my parents don't even know where i applied

[wind eagle]

omg really

ill be committed to a school by friday night then

PRESFROSH BY THE WEEKEND

lets gooo

[undone mauve]

i don't think I'm committing to a school before april

[flat scroll]

agree

i'm waiting until later in april

i rlly have to think ab my decision

[grizzled pecan]

what if you get into like one super reach school

and your family's financial situation is good

[flat scroll]

oh then i'd probably commit yeah

[grizzled pecan]

yeah but I mean likle

before april

I feel like that's be easy decision

Anyone who wants to do CS or eng pls help me out

I’ve got engineering/comp sci society tomorrow and i need to think of what to do

The activity i had planned won’t work as we can’t download anything on our scl computers (the censorship is mad)

[heavy tapir]

I think most people would do the same

[dim wagon]

Did they sent this via email?

I didn’t receive any

[flat scroll]

it's not by email

https://admission.stanford.edu/

[dim wagon]

Thank you🥰

[cosmic breach]

This might be boring af but maybe you can do some sort of activity over the theoretical side, like discrete math etc.

Like if you've seen NP-hard stuff before (I pretty much forgot most of this so I can't really help rn) it's not too hard to throw together something about this as well

Although it's probably too technical to do much with the actual proofs

Or you could like print out visual versions of graph algorithms

Or like work through the execution on a whiteboard step by sttep

That's what I did when I was teaching this sketchy workshop about graph algorithms for Dijkstra's algorithm

If you can't actually download and run code stuff like this might be for the best

Wow I overuse the word like when typing in stream of consciousness

[cobalt folio]

I would, but a)im not their teacher b) most of them do further maths where this is part of the syllabus and c)those guys want to make something 😭

[cosmic breach]

RIP

Well yeah if you can't download programs then you're essentially fucked

Maybe someone who's interested in engineering can help with a hands-on activity

(I am probably gonna major in data science and it shows)

[dim wagon]

😮

[ornate bone]

If they do math

Maybe do like

Regression workshop?

and then intro to gradient descrnt

[cosmic breach]

Like for data mining applications? Goddamn

[cobalt folio]

Forget programs i can’t even use chatterbot which is a python library

[cosmic breach]

That’s fucked

[cobalt folio]

Ughhh Icba with life anymore, ill just give the python coders a stimulus and make them code it for me

[cobalt folio]

I’d love to do that, but these lot won’t be interested. They barely talk to me as it is

I tried talking about neural network algorithms, but idt they enjoyed that much

And if you can’t code… just fuck off

[cosmic breach]

Wait this gave me a great idea

Have them mess around with Chat GPT and call it a practical application

https://media.giphy.com/media/qTTH4yHuPyXzYPXMnt/giphy.gif

[cobalt folio]

You’re acc brilliant! That’s what the non coders can do!!

I very platonically love you

neural networks r interesting they should've been interested

[cobalt folio]

Please platonically marry me

[cosmic breach]

Not even in college yet smh my head

[cobalt folio]

Ikr? The thing is with kids in my country, they want to do things, but they have little exposure to what it is they want to do

[dull delta]

teach them ab reactjs

get them away from html early

[cobalt folio]

JavaScript 😭 can’t download anything on my scl computers

[dull delta]

oh man
