UVA (2022-2023)

[velvet yew]

💀

[ancient dune]

UIUC and GT rejected me

terrible schools

[velvet yew]

i loved gt

but they rejected 😦

i got rejected/deferred from every oos except uiuc

[ancient dune]

ur likely to get rejected from uva then tbh

[velvet yew]

lmao

[ancient dune]

ive seen ivy admits get rejected

[velvet yew]

well

i aint surprised

[ancient dune]

the acceptance rate oos is gonna be very low this year

[velvet yew]

my stats suck

i just hail maryd everything

[ancient dune]

oh

[velvet yew]

even rejected from purdue lol

[ancient dune]

whats ur stats

[velvet yew]

3.6 1510

lol

[ancient dune]

yeah 3.6 low

[velvet yew]

wtv

i am happy with uiuc

🙂

it is because

i got a B in every humanities

class

💀

[ancient dune]

bruh

well

u got in

i have shit ECs

[velvet yew]

i thought

i was gonna end up going to some shitter

cuz im like

[ancient dune]

so I am in the same situation basicsally

[velvet yew]

bay area asian male cs but low gpa

but then uiuc blessed me

🙏

oh

UMD let me in but no cs

:/

[ancient dune]

umd is a transfer

its easy

[velvet yew]

yea ik

not interested in going tho

uiuc solos

[ancient dune]

which makes me sad they are the only oos that accepted me

for direct CS

[velvet yew]

i think my personal statmeent sucked dick tho

too

i think uiuc is just looking for diff things

[rocky wyvern]

why u think that

[velvet yew]

than other schools

[velvet yew]

bro i did not use a single metaphor

or anything

[ancient dune]

nah bro

[rocky wyvern]

oh

[velvet yew]

i just wrote it straight up

like a uc essay

lol

[rocky wyvern]

what was it about

was it about CS-

[velvet yew]

no

[rocky wyvern]

ive seen so many cs essays like

[velvet yew]

tbh i dont wanna explain my essay

but its not about cs

at all

[rocky wyvern]

u dont need too

[velvet yew]

its like

more about business

[velvet yew]

wdym

cuz like

[ancient dune]

my essay shows my darkest side

[rocky wyvern]

my essay is just positive asf

[ancient dune]

so in a way i kinda risked it

[velvet yew]

comparable schools (for cs) that i applied to are
purdue, umich, wisco, gt ,umd

[rocky wyvern]

i rlly feel my essay got me into these schools- ☠️

[velvet yew]

and i got rejected from purdue/gt , deferred from wisco/umich, and accepted without cs for umd

so uiuc is def looking for other things

[ancient dune]

everyone writes too positive. I really didnt feel like i could explain myself without being completely vulnerable

[velvet yew]

i think uiuc cares about the supps

thats what the ao said

when they came to my school

[rocky wyvern]

i touched on dark sides, but i rlly just wrote in the way of growth and change

but i used a song

[velvet yew]

my supps were hella fire

but my common app was shit

[rocky wyvern]

i had like a 3.7-3.8 UW and test optional, so my PS had to save me

[velvet yew]

damn

[ancient dune]

where did you get in

[rocky wyvern]

usc

[ancient dune]

dang

[rocky wyvern]

northeastern

[velvet yew]

for cs?

[rocky wyvern]

miami

[velvet yew]

fuck neu

[rocky wyvern]

no lol

[velvet yew]

u got global scholars?

[rocky wyvern]

nope

[velvet yew]

oh

[rocky wyvern]

boston campus

[velvet yew]

ic

[rocky wyvern]

if you wanna read my essay, i could send

[velvet yew]

nah its fine

i feel like neu acceptance doesnt mean anything

i think its like rng

lmao

[rocky wyvern]

right lmao

u right tho

it was hyped up

[velvet yew]

plus they accept tons of kids to global scholars

so they dont have to report in cds

cuz they are basically "transfers"

[rocky wyvern]

o

[velvet yew]

anwyay

prob going to uiuc

only remaining contenders are berkeley and umich

[rocky wyvern]

thats good asf omg

[velvet yew]

ye uiuc cs+x is a nice program

honestly

i might hav elike a 2% chance at berkeley

but umich is prob 0

lol

cuz i feel like my uc essays were fire

[rocky wyvern]

period

[velvet yew]

i wish i went to a bit more prestigous school tho

like uiuc is only known to people who do cs or eng

average person not gonna know about it

lol

but thats a stupid thing to worry about

i shouldnt care what regular people think

[ancient dune]

UVA >

[velvet yew]

https://cs.illinois.edu/about/statistics

i like how they have all the stats here

good money

[velvet yew]

uva is only better in overal prestige

for cs you shoyuld be going uiuc

[ancient dune]

Starting salary doesn’t correlate with school, rather the competition

And uva starting salary is surprisingly high

[eternal magnet]

I mean u applied CS+ADV right

[outer venture]

when uva come out

nvm

sorry

[toxic tapir]

Yeah I’ve never gotten this. Sure there are career fairs but seemingly most colleges in the T50 for CS have similar starting salaries (relative to where they’re located ofc)

[lyric crane]

uiuc was rly good for research in my experience

tbvh i agree with @ancient dune

cuz for cs its less about wut the college teaches u and more bout wut u do

u want the presitge for the opportunity

youll learn more from a full internship than a cs200 class

and that translates to getting a job

so outside of t5

t30 is pretty negligible

[simple terrace]

yeah im fairly sure it didnt really look at essays

[simple terrace]

it matters to the people who will give you money

so average person not going to matter then

[eternal magnet]

UIUC is weird tbh

[simple terrace]

it def is. school itself is not that well known since its extremely good at one thing

how is that even possible?

what series of events made it good at that one thing

[eternal magnet]

that can be said about anything

the thing is

[ancient dune]

Daily reminder that UIUC sucks because they rejected me

[eternal magnet]

i wonder what uiuc cs actually is like

[lyric crane]

research, location and connections

a lot of cs heavy schools r similar i think

uw seattle is one that kinda comes to mind but not as insane as uiuc

[ancient dune]

Terrible

[lyric crane]

its like alright in general but fucking impossible for cs

[simple terrace]

imo its leadership. uiuc isnt in that great of a location. and uiuc has amassed a lot of money somehow

[ancient dune]

It’s a mid school

[lyric crane]

skip levels of hating

[ancient dune]

No where to be seen

Like rural

[simple terrace]

overall ngl yeah

[lyric crane]

wen i researched it for my supps the research opportunities were insane

[lyric crane]

fax

[eternal magnet]

its not really mid

its a fun school

but i start to question what cs is like

cuz u know

a2c

[lyric crane]

ut austin also kinda same but like ig engineering in general austin just has a lot of cs opportunity

[eternal magnet]

[ancient dune]

CS is like 90% men

[eternal magnet]

lol

[lyric crane]

i had 0 clue cs was this popular

[ancient dune]

Unless ur gay I don’t think ur gonna get game

Ima be real

[lyric crane]

i thought it jus blew up cuz of tiktok but its been ppls plans for a min ig

[simple terrace]

yeah I found out they invested over 1 billion last year in research

[lyric crane]

me who already has a gf

[eternal magnet]

its popular because people like a "high" starting salary

[lyric crane]

i just wanna see how many quit

cuz its not fucking easy

[eternal magnet]

what is

[lyric crane]

especially if u take the school route lmfao

[lyric crane]

cs

[eternal magnet]

well its not that hard

[lyric crane]

like ive heard ppl say like once u learn to code yk ur set

[simple terrace]

it can be really hard lol

[lyric crane]

depends on ur goal

if ur aiming for a top cs school and top job

[ancient dune]

Yeah I heard UIUC CS is hard

[lyric crane]

its really hard (thats y its top obv)

[eternal magnet]

Theres a reason it feeds into quant

[simple terrace]

I wouldnt want to work in quant

[eternal magnet]

same

[simple terrace]

sounds like a slave job

[eternal magnet]

yeah

my parents were trying to convince me that quant is the right job for me

I know id be really good at it, but it really is slavery

[lyric crane]

lmfao

[simple terrace]

helping the top executives make billions while they do nothing and you working hours to get a fraction

[eternal magnet]

yeah

and think about this

even if you're extremely technically skilled

u are never gonna get those high up pos

theyre just going to keep you behind a monitor

🤣

[simple terrace]

lmao true

[eternal magnet]

also

the swe route

i wouldnt wanna write code for my the rest of my life

[lyric crane]

u can get out of that pretty quickly tbh

[eternal magnet]

salary is weak

[lyric crane]

wen u hit senior engineer

not rly

[eternal magnet]

they dont make much

[lyric crane]

id say the ceiling is lower than certain jobs

[simple terrace]

swe is very annoying in that you dont get the respect for your position through time, since you always got to learn new technologies and the fresh graduates are seen as better

[lyric crane]

but floow way higher

[eternal magnet]

im going the startup route

[lyric crane]

yeah tru

[lyric crane]

same

either make or join one once i have some corporate experience

[eternal magnet]

cant really plan now

it really depends

[simple terrace]

based on the people around me it will change for sure

[eternal magnet]

best thing to do freshman year if u wanna go startup is just meet people

exactly

[lyric crane]

and thats y the school matters

[eternal magnet]

my alum interviewers were all really cool people and they said they could find me shit if i wanted

[lyric crane]

which schools

[eternal magnet]

so idk

hypsm mainly

[lyric crane]

fair

[eternal magnet]

duke guy was sick

[lyric crane]

cornell and rice hv a special place in my heart

[lyric crane]

r u nova?

ive only gotten 2 tbh

[eternal magnet]

what

[lyric crane]

northern virginia

[eternal magnet]

no

ive gotten 10 so far

[lyric crane]

(most ppl in this r in state so jus asking)

[lyric crane]

holy shit xD

[eternal magnet]

yeah

must be a good candidate

[lyric crane]

u in a big city?

[eternal magnet]

no

[lyric crane]

mm well u solid then

[eternal magnet]

20k population town

[simple terrace]

same only 2 so far

[eternal magnet]

i should be getting columbia & cornell soon

[lyric crane]

should be?

[eternal magnet]

yeah

[lyric crane]

cornells was pretty fun

[eternal magnet]

cornell doesn't even sent report so i dont really cares

[lyric crane]

how can u tell or jus goin off the trend

[simple terrace]

?

what report

[eternal magnet]

interview report

[simple terrace]

oh

[eternal magnet]

my friend told me that

[eternal magnet]

trend and one other hting

i didn't req northwestern

so thats an L DI i guess

[lyric crane]

i req northwesstern instantly and hvnt gotten one

[eternal magnet]

lol

[lyric crane]

smh

i did math for northwestern tho

[simple terrace]

they had their interviews at dc

[lyric crane]

[eternal magnet]

[lyric crane]

[eternal magnet]

[lyric crane]

ye

[eternal magnet]

40

[lyric crane]

holy fuck

2nd highest

[eternal magnet]

wdym

[lyric crane]

like 2nd most schools ive seen

[simple terrace]

nice. I cant do that anymore bcs of 1st semester grades

[eternal magnet]

my first sem grades were elite

[cinder dew]

same

[lyric crane]

in a2c

[lyric crane]

mine were lowkey mid asl but was never banking on grades tbf

cuz of transfer from intl its all weird

[simple terrace]

the only differentiating thing from me and the people around me are grades or maybe essays

[eternal magnet]

grades no

around me as in your school, maybe, but still

[lyric crane]

for me i think
essays (for rd) 8/10
grades 7/10
test score 8/10
ecs 7/10
hooks 9/10

so

[simple terrace]

yeah in my school I mean

[eternal magnet]

@lyric crane damn 9/10 hooks?

[lyric crane]

ye unless u go to an insanely competitive school i dont think itd mean too much yk

[simple terrace]

hooks?

[lyric crane]

like unique thing bout me

ig

[eternal magnet]

bro

[simple terrace]

ok thats impossible in my schools ggs

[eternal magnet]

only hook that matters is black/hispanic

legacy too

but u said u transferred intl so i dont think legacy is possible

[lyric crane]

african whos lived iin 4 countries and 2 states

[lyric crane]

i hv legacy from U-M and delaware

[eternal magnet]

ok so not bad

[lyric crane]

im an american citizen i just moved away till jr year

[eternal magnet]

recs probably matter a lot as well

[lyric crane]

i think mine r solid outside of councellor

[eternal magnet]

i think my recs are 10/10

[lyric crane]

we have 500 kids graduating and i got a new councellor this fucking year

[eternal magnet]

wow

[lyric crane]

so they dont know shit bout me

[simple terrace]

mine are probably 8/10

[eternal magnet]

yeah

counselor rec doesn't matter at all really

[lyric crane]

ye thats y im not worried

and we had a brag sheet so

[eternal magnet]

unless

sec

[lyric crane]

?

[eternal magnet]

this

[simple terrace]

bruh if my counselor had this I would actually be over

[lyric crane]

wut that for 😭

[eternal magnet]

school report

[lyric crane]

is that like on common app

[eternal magnet]

which counselor fills out

[lyric crane]

oh

[eternal magnet]

my school doesn't fill that out so

[lyric crane]

half my hs wasnt even hear lmao

[lyric crane]

same i dont think

and even if they did i think id at least be like

Very good/excellent

ppl do not do anth here outside sports

[eternal magnet]

harvard has an athletic rating

W

[lyric crane]

my bigges tathletic acchievement is rec soccer and my pb in track is a sub 13 100 m

😐

[simple terrace]

I dont even have sport acomplishments lol

[eternal magnet]

captain of 2 V sports

guaranteed a 2

[simple terrace]

nice

[amber swan]

CDS working in my favor

[ancient dune]

yep class rank is very important

thus why TJ kids have a hard time getting in

[amber swan]

[eternal magnet]

well im getting in

[ancient dune]

u go to tj?

[amber swan]

me, attending an extremely uncompetitive underfunded HS in texas

[simple terrace]

[eternal magnet]

no

bro wtf

[ancient dune]

whats ur rank

if you dont mind me asking

[eternal magnet]

1531 sat

[amber swan]

⛹🏾‍♂️

[eternal magnet]

35 act

thats a scam

[ancient dune]

yeah thats average for TJ

[simple terrace]

~120

[ancient dune]

u should be chillin then

[simple terrace]

hopefully

[cinder dew]

out of

[amber swan]

got auto for UT off rank already so hoping i clutch UVA

[ancient dune]

440

im pretty sure

[eternal magnet]

@simple terrace u go to tj?

[simple terrace]

its a little higher

[eternal magnet]

whats ur sat

[simple terrace]

I did act. I got 34 and that decreases the average score

[eternal magnet]

wow

[ancient dune]

34 is good

[eternal magnet]

its lower than average tho

[ancient dune]

well test scores are not that important

[eternal magnet]

bro wtf

[amber swan]

they said rigor very important too so im leaning on that as well

[eternal magnet]

Student Research offered at tj

[amber swan]

rigor prob the strongest part of my app

[simple terrace]

yep. but all the seniors are too burnt out to actually use everything to its full potential

[eternal magnet]

wait

what

Class rank is not computed or estimated in FCPS or at TJHSST. The Class of 2022
Final Grade Point Averages (8th semester) ranged from 3.255 to 4.663.

[simple terrace]

they calculate it in the backend

[eternal magnet]

so how do u know rank

oh

[simple terrace]

go to naviance, go to profile, go see api requests

and it shows class rank

[eternal magnet]

api requests what

[amber swan]

DE spamming gonna be either the life or death of me for virginia cause the rest of my app might be shit

[simple terrace]

to get the info on your browser they fetch info from apis and the idiots in naviance send everything to the browser, even class rank

[eternal magnet]

null

[simple terrace]

?

[eternal magnet]

do they update naviance manually

[simple terrace]

I got no idea

I just know it exists

[eternal magnet]

it says null for class rank

[simple terrace]

guess they dont put in all the info maybe?

[eternal magnet]

yeah

probs

[regal nymph]

So we thinking decisions next week?

[eternal magnet]

100

[ancient dune]

class rank is only a good measure if you come from a poor background

if you go to a competitive hs its honestly misleading

[toxic tapir]

But it also compares you to people with similar relative means to you

[simple terrace]

nah not really. a .1 in my school is like 100 rank difference at a certain point

4.5 is ~ rank 20 and 4.4 is ~ rank 120

the difference is like getting 1-2 Bs and none at all

[toxic tapir]

That’s enough of a difference then 🤷‍♂️

[simple terrace]

its highly misleading hence why it doesnt exist

[toxic tapir]

Class rank isn’t a very high priority of colleges though considering your school gives info (like avg grades) about every class that you’re in.

[eternal magnet]

School doesn’t give info like that

[simple terrace]

not every school does that

[simple terrace]

same

[eternal magnet]

No school does that lol

[toxic tapir]

Sometimes they make that info available

[eternal magnet]

Colleges won’t look

[simple terrace]

even if they did they probably made some computer model that automatically does everything

[eternal magnet]

Nah

Transcripts aren’t standard

[simple terrace]

I looked at one of the reports and the amount of data analysis they are doing is crazy so its possible imo

[eternal magnet]

Which reports

[simple terrace]

some uiuc future enrollment ones

[eternal magnet]

That’s Uiuc

They only look at stats

No school profile

[simple terrace]

they have the srar which is probably why

does vtech do the same

[eternal magnet]

Ye

Uiuc is messed up for no school profile

[simple terrace]

why?

[eternal magnet]

Cuz not every school has AP

[simple terrace]

true

[eternal magnet]

Plus not every school has crazy grade inflation to the point where 25% have perfect GPA

[ancient dune]

yeah at my school uw is inflated so its basically a race for stacking up on hard classes for gpa bumps

[rigid osprey]

They removed rank

I tried it like last week and it didn’t work

[simple terrace]

thats great

underclassmen dont need to see that

[rigid osprey]

I think it was a good self check for me 1st semester

Lowered my expectations significantly for decisions

[simple terrace]

my expectations were abysmal after junior year bcs I saw that everyone was taking the same classes and getting the same grades lol

it became even lower after the ea round

[rigid osprey]

Cs kids taking ai ml cv getting 6 As like

[simple terrace]

lol since theres no tests the classes are super easy if you put in the work

[rigid osprey]

Tj should be abolished ngl

[simple terrace]

did you know tj used to be pass/fail only

[rigid osprey]

How did that work

[simple terrace]

im starting to think the same lol

[rigid osprey]

Everyone just passed literally every class

[simple terrace]

idk but in its founding it was entirely pass/fail

[simple terrace]

probably

[rigid osprey]

imagine how horrible it would be now if that was our grading scale tho

💀

wait no

that would be better imo

level playing field

[simple terrace]

it would be much better

weightage would be good and the people who skip like 10 classes as a freshmen bcs they know everything wouldnt be so far ahead

[rigid osprey]

yeah i guess course rigor would still be major

but you can get a 70 in the class and still "pass"

atp i would just take 6 aps

[simple terrace]

I dont think it wouldve been that easy

its up to the teachers discretiton to pass you

[rigid osprey]

oh

[simple terrace]

so you got to keep up with work

they used to assign a looooot more work

[rigid osprey]

yeah i complain about it a lot but i also barely do anything

[simple terrace]

they even had work over winter breaks and stuff. it got so bad that the principal had to step in and remove it all

[rigid osprey]

do u think colleges know this and thats why they accept less tj kids

now than they used to

[simple terrace]

I think its more that everything is very accesible now

like 10 or 20 years ago no one could just use 100k computers

now theres aws which is basically free

its not hard to go to your local college and find a professor

and start research

same thing with contests

its not hard to study for them since everythongs online

[rigid osprey]

bro do you know when our mid years are getting sent

[simple terrace]

though in terms of course rigor and name brand there isnt much that can beat our school

[simple terrace]

I got an email recentely too

[rigid osprey]

yeah

notre dame wanted them 2 weeks ago 💀

[simple terrace]

if they dont do it within wednesday im emailing them

[rocky wyvern]

AGREED

[simple terrace]

has the grade book even opened

[rigid osprey]

monday at 6am

all of my grades are finalized tho

[simple terrace]

they better send them in soon

[rigid osprey]

bro they keep fixing all the hacks

they fixed the sis reportcard url hack

[simple terrace]

why is everything being fixed now

the report card hack worked last year

[rigid osprey]

it worked last week

they just fixed it

[simple terrace]

[rigid osprey]

im so excited my gpa is going up after this sem

i think my uw is going down tho

[simple terrace]

my everything is going down this sem

getting a b in multi fatal

[rigid osprey]

see i got a b in multi too

but i also got a b+ in english last year

so my gpa already accounted for that

rebound

[simple terrace]

I got a b in spanish

[rigid osprey]

real

[amber swan]

carrying me for that very reason

[spice ravine]

damn the uva wait is real

[rough heath]

bro

UVA

whos deadline for EA was back in

november

1

HAS THE SAME

decision date

as UChicago's EDII

which was due

JANUARY 5TH

[lyric crane]

xD

less ppl ig

[amber swan]

when is chicagos Ed2 date

[ancient dune]

CMU ED2 came out Jan 28th

like

[lyric crane]

tbf they prolly just looked at 90% of them and threw them out

[ancient dune]

that does sound like CMU tbh

CMU is definitely the most unforgiving school

[lyric crane]

its wut i thought mit was before i started researchikng schools

mit is still mit but it seems they are a bit more chill

[ancient dune]

yeah they are

uva is pretty chill too

lets hope it comes out on friday so i can end my suffering

[lyric crane]

i deadass had a dream i got in

heard its a bad sign

[ancient dune]

its a dream it literally doesnt mean anything

lmao

[lyric crane]

ik ik

just lowkey nervous

[ancient dune]

ik

it is fucking exhausting it

[lyric crane]

im most scared for vt tbh if i dont get in its the beggining of the end for me

[ancient dune]

uva and vt take way too long ima be real

[lyric crane]

thats the main reason i hoped i got into colombia

i didnt wanna do this shit

for the rest of the year

[ancient dune]

exactly, like every other school EA has come out

when do UCs come out

i dont think they have came out yet

[lyric crane]

like march

march is like

[ancient dune]

yeah makes sense

[lyric crane]

a blood bath

[ancient dune]

march is death

💀

EA is death and March is the funeral

[lyric crane]

nah fr tho

ivy day is the burial

that shit is lowkey cruel 😭

imagine doing every ivy

[ancient dune]

April Fools is the day when every college forgets ur existence

haha loser

[lyric crane]

and its just a whole lot of "unfortunately we can not..."

[lyric crane]

xD

[ancient dune]

LOL

exactly

[lyric crane]

whoevers idea was it to put it on same day

😐

[ancient dune]

yeah idk

who tf made the ivy league

[lyric crane]

rich white ppl

[ancient dune]

fr bruh

shits crazy

the only thing UVA lacks is diversity

like 60% are white

kinda sad

[lyric crane]

thats kinda my main problem ngl

but school comes first

[ancient dune]

vt is similar tho so

[lyric crane]

unfortunately there isnt rly any ivy level hbcu 🤷🏾‍♂️

[ancient dune]

the main problem comes from how southern VA population is 90% white

[lyric crane]

prolly worse lmfao

[ancient dune]

NOVA is much more diverse

[lyric crane]

but like theyre trying to increase it

they had a black college institution event (which i went for) so was on campus for a week with like 100 more black students

[hard wasp]

tbh wish all college decisions came out on one day so I could speedrun it

[lyric crane]

was lowkey like a mini college app to get in

[hard wasp]

The wait is soul-sucking

[lyric crane]

the number of self abortions on that day 📈📈📈

[hard wasp]

💀

[amber swan]

well, uhhhhhhhh

you see

[lyric crane]

the number of kids whos whole identity was academic excellence but then get screwed

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[amber swan]

I kinda did every ivy

so like

[ancient dune]

56% female at uva

[lyric crane]

u have hope tbh

[ancient dune]

interesting

[amber swan]

yeah

[amber swan]

ehhhhh

[lyric crane]

20+ youll be aiit

[lyric crane]

lemme show u a vid

[amber swan]

all reaches, don't think imma secure

[lyric crane]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qn5YDZ5Lg0w&t=948s

this video is only thing giving me hope

[amber swan]

if i get something big this cycle ill def be happy but still

i dont think its coming

[hard wasp]

Yh but the decision wasn’t gonna change, might as well know what ur cards are

[lyric crane]

6% 😭😭😭

[amber swan]

I got UMiami I think thats the last of the dubs

[lyric crane]

*but guys AA is racist and taking peoples spots *

[lyric crane]

[amber swan]

applied political science and sociology for reaches but Chemistry and Political Science

[lyric crane]

3.78 uw (we dont talk bout w), 1500 sat 7 ap 4 honors (i had 2 years of amerrica)

[ancient dune]

and georgia has a big black population

[lyric crane]

I’ve heard from every state except ine

[amber swan]

[ancient dune]

UVA and VT be like:

[ancient dune]

😂

Yo hsm u got Purdue ur chillin fr

[sonic spruce]

It’s so good

Lol

😭 I’ll get rejected anyways

[rough heath]

YOOOO I GOT INTO UVA

(manifest)

Why

i will tell uva ao u said that

i love UVA

it’s so cute

and quirky

and fun

like living there is so fun

no virginia is so fun

but richmond is nicer

rip

the slander LOL

[lyric crane]

No it’s not

[rough heath]

[lyric crane]

Pu mean the school or the city 😭

[rough heath]

i miss richmond

[rough heath]

[lyric crane]

Wya now

[lyric crane]

I’m tryn gtfo

There’s like nothing to do here

[rough heath]

do u hate it that much

i miss it

it was home for me

i used to live in glen allen

it was so long ago i can say that but like

i miss it dude

it was such a cozy place

[ancient dune]

???

That’s just disrespectful

No they aren’t lol

Plenty of government research, cybersecurity, and business jobs in UVA

There’s a fucking reason they are t30

[ancient dune]

That’s so cap

Charolettesville is pretty small but it’s definitely not boring

[lyric crane]

I’m at like chesterfield and ion hate it jus far from love it

[rough heath]

ah

[lyric crane]

Talking bout Richmond

[rough heath]

i get it

[lyric crane]

Idk it’s cool but def don’t wanna stay here long term

[ancient dune]

U go from Virginia smells to saying you like vcu

[lyric crane]

Or even short term did bother applying to vcu or u of r

[rough heath]

i enjoy having the money leeched out of me

[lyric crane]

Ngl everyone who grew up here low key loves it I just moved here so that might be it

[ancient dune]

Like bro can’t hate UVA at the point of burning the fucking letter

That’s such an asshole move

[rough heath]

true

[lyric crane]

Him irl when uva accepts

[ancient dune]

Like Ik UVA is not the best school but I haven’t seen anyone shit on any school more than UVA

[lyric crane]

Fr?

Ion see much uva hate lmfao

But I think it’s that the ppl who r good enough for uva prolly want to aim higher yk

Like uva just shy of t20 I think

[ancient dune]

Not even. People just fail to acknowledge UVA as a good public school

It’s honestly sad tbh

[lyric crane]

Shi I’d take it

Not to the point of Ed tho

[ancient dune]

Honestly I considered ED

[lyric crane]

I just don’t wanna go cuz my mom said she’d take an assignment there to be close to me 💀

[rough heath]

uva is good

i’d go

[lyric crane]

To me Ed was just to Hail Mary as far as possible

[ancient dune]

That’s so fucked

[rough heath]

schools are more a tier system than rankings

[lyric crane]

I think she was joking 😂

[rough heath]

and few schools are on the tier above UVA

[lyric crane]

Mm real I ain’t rly know bout usc so didn’t apply

[ancient dune]

Everyone overlooks UVA on this server

[rough heath]

it’s in LA so i like it

idk i like UVA

[lyric crane]

I already do that living in her house LOL

[ancient dune]

Primarily because everyone only goes CS

[rough heath]

it’s rlly pretty tho

[lyric crane]

Tok broke for that

[rough heath]

having my girl over is impossible in this indian household i’ve given up

[lyric crane]

That’s tru but uva cs Is good but not at the very top

[lyric crane]

Lmao

[ancient dune]

UVA gives good oos aid

Definitely something people should consider

No it isn’t 😂

[lyric crane]

To me less insane applicants the better 😂

Va alr competitive enough as is

[ancient dune]

Great joke

[lyric crane]

Don’t need cali kids as well

[ancient dune]

Say that to Harvard

[lyric crane]

[ancient dune]

They cap UVA to 1/3 oos anyways I bet most of them are Bay Area 1500+

[lyric crane]

True

[ancient dune]

Burn the American flag

I agree with this in a way. Depends on the school

CS is pretty new at UVA

[spiral coyote]

darden is being expanded

and they redid newcombe

[ancient dune]

But Eng Hall needs a renovation

[spiral coyote]

i like the little chapel

its nice

[ancient dune]

More like a rebuild

It’s pretty old

But every ivy school is old so it doesn’t really mean much

[spiral coyote]

also uva is 38k instate all things considered so

[sonic spruce]

This is a wraps for me

Then

In that case 😭

[ancient dune]

That’s not expensive lmao

[spiral coyote]

im sorry what

[ancient dune]

they give full need based aid

[spiral coyote]

if i was doing a masters there

sure

but like

[ancient dune]

Look at Umich oos tuition with no good financial aid

Or any other public school in fact

They all give 0 oos aid

Well if you wanna got to Arizona that’s fine

[ancient dune]

well you live close to VA so you get neighbor advantage

lol

idk if thats true or not

[sonic spruce]

Nah

Lol I wish tho

Bay Area Asian males sob 😭

[spice ravine]

fr

[spice ravine]

lol

for uva any oos is the same

int or american lol

[ancient dune]

shes probably gonna announce tmrw for friday decisions

otherwise im dead

[violet geyser]

[regal nymph]

Could be

[knotty fern]

I think that’s the most likely day at this point

[violet geyser]

would it be released afternoon or evening

[wet copper]

Unfortunately I really think its gonna be exactly Feb 15th

Dean J made it sound like theyre slumped with apps and to bank on the 15th predicted date

[pine gull]

[spice ravine]

[spice ravine]

fr

this wait is killing me more then my mid-term ib 🥲

[ancient dune]

[simple terrace]

[ancient dune]

[lyric crane]

ye i used to play

[wispy stone]

The time is nigh

I will need titanic doses of copium if they reject

[ancient dune]

i radiate copium already

lets hope i dont blow up

Depression = copium * (college rejections)^2

[pine gull]

[spice ravine]

true

aint no way we gonna risk our lives just to find out the date

[lyric crane]

fr fuck the date 😭

[spice ravine]

might as well just give ourself an acceptance

[spice ravine]

fr

the wait is alr too fucking long

[lyric crane]

if i knew i was getting in i could give a fuck bout wen it came out

could be april 1

for all i care

[spice ravine]

ye

i just want the decision, better yet an acceptance 😉

[lyric crane]

fr

[spice ravine]

bro but uva is fucking tough

other instate unis like umich and stuff take around 40% ish of the class instate

uva do 66% 🥲

[lyric crane]

i mean ye

but uva gives some of the best oos aid

so its a trade off

less oos but more aid for yall

since its not like split between that many

truth is in state uva is a blood bath

especially nova

[spice ravine]

ye lol

i mean they still have like a 28% acceptance rate so

ig its better

(with less ppl applying as well)

wifi be lagging, messing up the orders of my messages ....

[ancient dune]

UVA so silent rn

[spice ravine]

💀💀💀

At this point

Im so exhausted in the wait that i basically almost dont care abt the decision

Accepted or not ima just sleep right after cuz decisions are out 4 am Vietnam time 💀

[versed pumice]

UVA eats up feeder school kids

NJ by the way so everyone is oos
