[knotty talon]

i would cry.

[humble stirrup]

i was touring residential houses there a few months ago and they’re so majestic

[knotty talon]

would literally cry on my knees

[humble stirrup]

the pianos are in beautiful foyer rooms

with big cushioned chairs and fireplaces and hardwood

it looks so regal

[knotty talon]

this may sound weird. but i love smelling new sheet music. 💀

[humble stirrup]

😳

like fresh off the printer or?

[knotty talon]

dont give that face

LOL

[humble stirrup]

i can appreciate a good warm sheet of paper but

[knotty talon]

i actually make my own music

[humble stirrup]

[knotty talon]

💃 so i love doing that

[humble stirrup]

i wish i had enough time to dedicate to composing

i might do composing in college a bit

[knotty talon]

i want. an ipad. so i can do those cool sheet music composing apps.

[knotty talon]

[wheat wraith]

Yo. if I make it to harvard, can I get an autograph?

[knotty talon]

yEs Of CoUrSe <3

[humble stirrup]

i’m more stem-y and music isn’t really my secondary spike :(

[knotty talon]

anyone can learn composing

its all music theory

[humble stirrup]

my secondary spike is smth else but i love music & art

just not sure how to compose yet

yeah i’m good with music theory

[knotty talon]

whats ur first spike

[humble stirrup]

astrophysics

[knotty talon]

o

damn

[humble stirrup]

astrophysics/math kinda

2nd is public policy

[knotty talon]

im not good at sciency stuff

💀 its a struggle for me

[humble stirrup]

3rd is music/art since that’s where most of my awards come from

[humble stirrup]

same

[knotty talon]

oooo nice

[humble stirrup]

it is a struggle

but it’s a good struggle

[knotty talon]

i think one of my main spikes was archery

[humble stirrup]

yeah since ur like olympic in it

[knotty talon]

🧍‍♀️ oh

u remembered

LOL

[humble stirrup]

me when i remember

yes

[knotty talon]

😭

[wheat wraith]

that is insane

[knotty talon]

no 😭 but i have tried out for team USA and placed 20th. and i'm first in california

im trying out for the next olympics tho

💃 so hopefully that works out

[humble stirrup]

based i believe in you

[knotty talon]

if harvard rejects me i can be like ha. l0ser.

[humble stirrup]

i don’t do sports anymore but i wish i did

[knotty talon]

:,D archery is a sport but i feel like it doesn't really do much in terms of losing weight. i actually eat more cuz of archery 💀

i eat like 3 whole meals after practicing 🧍‍♀️

[humble stirrup]

still a valid and cool sport tho

[blazing trellis]

bro honestly you too cracked for harvard, get oly gold, buy all the sheet music u want and chill for life, who gaf about harvard

[knotty talon]

LOL

thanks bestie 😭

[humble stirrup]

harvard more like midvard (unless they accept u)

[knotty talon]

#midvard

[wheat wraith]

that is a really good achievement, hope you participate in the next Olympics. Goodluck.

[knotty talon]

thank u :)

[humble stirrup]

do you do stuff outside of archery & music?

[knotty talon]

i coach for archery too

internship

[humble stirrup]

very nice

[knotty talon]

ya

i love. yelling at kids. 🧍‍♀️

[humble stirrup]

🤨

[knotty talon]

last time they beat me up with water balloons

im not even kidding

:,(

[humble stirrup]

wow that’s mean smh

[knotty talon]

no fr 💀

[humble stirrup]

beat them back

[blazing trellis]

but also archery music combo is like match made in heaven literally, apollo was both greek god of music and archery

[humble stirrup]

that is true

[knotty talon]

the balloons wouldn't pop so they just throwing them at me until they did

[humble stirrup]

cara more like apollo

[knotty talon]

LOL yes im apollo

💃

[humble stirrup]

we have a sun god in our presence

[knotty talon]

🌞

[blazing trellis]

yh the greeks got the gender wrong tho

[humble stirrup]

apollo was female huh

apollo was male and artemis was female right

but artemis was night

[blazing trellis]

all this while and we find out only today lol

[humble stirrup]

or the hunt or smth

wow

[blazing trellis]

yh she was godess of hunting

[wheat wraith]

Cara, do u use Fl studio or sth like that while you are creating a music?

[knotty talon]

i use logic

[humble stirrup]

nyx was night artemis was hunt yes

[knotty talon]

cuz it was just an easier program to use 💀

[wheat wraith]

ohh that is cool

[knotty talon]

if its too complicated i just kinda. give up.

🧍‍♀️

i looked at fl studio and got a headache 😭 idk how people do it

[humble stirrup]

i forgot but for some reason i remember you as being like really really good at something but i can’t remember what

it’s also 3:21am so

[blazing trellis]

lol i am not sure if a lot of you know but there is an indian festival called holi, it is technically festival of colours but ends up in a water gun, water ballon, colour fight

[humble stirrup]

you put something somewhere and it was techy i think

[wheat wraith]

I kinda agree... At first 2 months I was just working on the default 4 music kit and basically did nothing. It was really confusing at first

[knotty talon]

ooo thats actually really cool

[wheat wraith]

Maybe you are referring to math

[humble stirrup]

yesss i have friends who go to india to participate in holi every year

[humble stirrup]

probably yes

[knotty talon]

😭 idk man... i couldnt even figure out how to connect my midi keyboard...

[blazing trellis]

its all fun and games until someone uses permanent colours on your face and you have school the next day

[humble stirrup]

you’re the USAMO kid right

[knotty talon]

🧍‍♀️ oh.. oh dear.

[spark valley]

it's the best thing that happens in India

ya but after that day you can't go anywhere for 7 days

[blazing trellis]

nah it is a close 2nd to diwali

[humble stirrup]

alright ima sleep gn folks

[spark valley]

nah Holi is better

[knotty talon]

night

[spark valley]

bye

[wheat wraith]

goodnight

[vital hill]

that's weird lmao

maybe happens in the middle east

never heard it happening in india at least

[sudden hearth]

Day 69420 of awaiting a Harvard interview 👁👄👁

[scarlet bramble]

gg they win

[earnest cloud]

Guys you know what time eet ish

Day 7 no harvard likely

[blazing trellis]

lol my friend told he is a three-time IMO medallist on his apps, when he is talking about a cheap private company's olympiads- SOF IMO

[humble stirrup]

😩 did he say SOF IMO or just IMO?

[blazing trellis]

he wrote just imo on apps

[short haven]

Now this is an OBVIOUS lie lmao

[blazing trellis]

when i asked him he said he mentioned in additional info or smth that it was sof, but i doubt it since he has lied a LOT in the past

[blazing trellis]

lol this shit works very often , last year a kid claimed he was captain of the national debate team when he wasnt even on the national debate team lol, ended up getting into UPENN

[short haven]

OMG

[blazing trellis]

when i told my debate coach( the person in charge for national selections) he was in half a mind to report him

[short haven]

I was worried over the tiniest stuff these are just fat lies💀

Like messing up my EC hours by one or two hours

[short haven]

Did he eventually?

[blazing trellis]

you know what's funny, a person on the actual national debate team might have gotten rejected cuz of him

[short haven]

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[blazing trellis]

GUYS WTFFF

I just got Harvard interview

ooooffff

i think most intls without interview dont get in

[short haven]

Are you domestic?

[blazing trellis]

so I was scarred

[blazing trellis]

nahh

domestic is availabiltiy based i think

[short haven]

Congrats!

[vital hill]

I was going to reply here too thinking ur a different person😭

[blazing trellis]

lol

[wild shore]

mit has baby grands? in the student building but they’re in these TINY individual rooms 😭 kinda awful but they’re building a new music building which sounds cool

[wild shore]

first in california is crazy good

[wild shore]

shoot them

[wild shore]

that’s horrible horrible. i usually don’t support snitching / reporting ppl but that’s too far

t10 colleges should each have an AO who’s job it is to very accepted students’ ec’s

or at the very least their awards

actually that would be super easy to make a code for

at least for the rlly big awards

[blazing trellis]

I think UCs have good system

randomly select some students and ask them to verify Ecs

noone lies because it is random and they could get caught

abd you dont have to check everyone as well

[wild shore]

ofc but i still think it should be easy to verify big ones like IMO for everyone

[earnest cloud]

people actually lie on apps for this stuf 💀 ?

the amount of stress i would carry through all 4 yrs of college just scared to be found out

and even after graduation

they can remove diploma

💀

id rather go to state school than go to harvard on a lie and be found out

thats so embarrasing lmao

[lofty patio]

but you cant review your harvard admissions file if youre rejected no

[blazing trellis]

yh he got in

i said he almost got rejected

because what if AO though yo this kid from his school did even better than him

[lofty patio]

bro which indian school do you go to to send 2 harvard students 😭

[blazing trellis]

the other got rejected lol the one that lied

[lofty patio]

o really

whered he end up going

[blazing trellis]

UPENN

[lofty patio]

damn thats still not bad

which curriculum?

im gonna go out on a limb here and guess ib

[blazing trellis]

and not from my school, i know them cuz they on the debate team with me

[blazing trellis]

nope both cbse

[lofty patio]

bro

i dont know a single cbse student applying abroad here

its all j ee

jee

[blazing trellis]

most people that write JEE are cbse

[lofty patio]

frrr

[jaunty bronze]

Did u forget me mf

[lofty patio]

irl*

[jaunty bronze]

Ahhhhhhh

Mai Janta hu

Ppl be applying BCZ they don’t want to give jee

[queen zinc]

why havent i gotten an interview

[blazing trellis]

[queen zinc]

[queen zinc]

[blazing trellis]

yes

[queen zinc]

[blazing trellis]

[queen zinc]

dude wtf

i have had 1 princeton and thats it

[blazing trellis]

Princetown what ?

is that a uni ?

i cant remember after they rejected me so hard i got a concussion in rea round

[queen zinc]

LOL

[queen zinc]

its a safety school

my point is that none of the good ones have given me an interview

[queen zinc]

wait rejexction or deferral

[blazing trellis]

straight up rejection

[queen zinc]

WTF

but u got INTO berkeley????????

DUDE thats so fucked. i had a friend whos application was NOT the greatest (definitely ass) who got deferred

REA is fucked anyway

[blazing trellis]

average princeton L

[queen zinc]

@winter smelt pls get me into harvard

i too

am a harvard man

just walk down to the aos and personally recommend me fr

[queen zinc]

dude thats such a mindfuck

do u niow why

it happened

[blazing trellis]

no idea lol, but then ik someone that got into Harvard but rejected at nyu

college apps do be weird af

[queen zinc]

dude theyre so random

(i am preemptively coping with the fact that I have not received 6 likely letters + an early admission from berkeley)

[rich rivet]

💀

I mean can you even blame em

[rich rivet]

Waitlisted at UChick but denied by community college Princeton 💀😔

[jaunty bronze]

Nope

[simple condor]

I had one for Princeton as well

[winter smelt]

hm

[modest hollow]

I didn’t receive an interview invitation for Harvard EA and got deferred. Still, haven’t received any interviews. Should I worry? (I’m an international student)

[runic sleet]

Yes, no, maybe so. (In all seriousness, no one can come to a consensus so just don’t worry.)

[bronze spire]

Yes this means auto rejection :(

They threw ur application out :((

[knotty talon]

i mean you got deferred. pretty sure they dont offer interviews for people who got deferred.

someone said that earlier

says on their website or something

could be wrong since someone else said it

[modest hollow]

Thank you all (at least to the majority) for their kind replies! 🙂

[vague ice]

I think it was Columbia

[knotty talon]

ohhh ok

i mean u got deferred with no interview

so like 👀

i wouldnt give up hope yet

[cyan wedge]

Do colleges start looking at ur profile before they receive mid year report?

[gusty garnet]

Probably depends on how late your mid-year report is

Mid year report isn't that important unless you're trying to show improvement

Otherwise it's just to make sure you maintained your level

[cyan wedge]

For me my GPA didnt change but IB lvl dropped by 2

idk if it would affect me negatively

cuz for us a 97->95 results in a drop in IB lvl 🤣

[cyan wedge]

I'm from canada so it just got sent last friday 💀

[cyan wedge]

we have two transcripts, ontario one (mark out of 100) and IB predicted

predicted is too wack

[gusty garnet]

In that case, it's pretty likely at least someone has looked at your application. But perhaps they set the Canadian students aside to review later because they were aware of how late it would be

Irdk

[cyan wedge]

ok thanks 😌

hopefully midyear wont affect too much lol

my friend was like if your app are still in consideration we prolly passed the academic screening

🤷‍♂️

[gusty garnet]

Yeah I wouldn't worry about it. Besides, it's out of your hands now

[cyan wedge]

^^^ eggxactly

👌

[humble stirrup]

i don’t think if you get deferred that they offer you an interview rd

i could be wrong though

i was interviewed REA

[knotty talon]

i was given an interview after my midyear report was submitted

😭 probs dont mean anything since im dom

but it did raise my gpa by .2

[grim trench]

One of my homies got deferred and got another interview in the RD round

Eventually he got in

btw this was last year

[humble stirrup]

2nd interview?

[grim trench]

Yep

But still it's not a "must" for a 2nd interview cuz I've seen people get deferred and got in RD eventually

[sudden hearth]

Bro has 2 interviews more than me

[grim trench]

lmao man let's keep hopin'

I got mine but man hear me out u got this

[sudden hearth]

Weird that I got a Yale interview which is prescreened but not Harvard

One would assume they are similarly selective

[wheat wraith]

I didnt get an interview too😥

And the deadline is March 1st

[grim trench]

Lmao dude mine is reversed

Yale didn't give me ****

[humble stirrup]

i got an interview rea and then submitted a massive update letter

after being deferred

[sudden hearth]

Nah it’s “later March”

[humble stirrup]

so we’ll see

[grim trench]

Damn bro tryin' rly hard on that

[sudden hearth]

So around mid-March I’d say

[wheat wraith]

Oh

Well that is a relief

[grim trench]

Anyone else going for the Berklee Dual Degree here?

[knotty talon]

me!

omg 😭 someone else

finallyyyy

im not alonefuhlriuegh

[grim trench]

Lmao sick

Im actually not sure if I will go for this track since I wanna do premed

[knotty talon]

[grim trench]

[knotty talon]

[grim trench]

[knotty talon]

[grim trench]

Love my adjudicators

[knotty talon]

[grim trench]

Oh man rly

[knotty talon]

yeah

[grim trench]

wow so u wanna go for the musical theater track?

[knotty talon]

i just wanted to sing it

LOL

the night before i picked it 💀

[grim trench]

LOL

yea same here

Literally was listening to my spotify and then boom this song pops out so I was like yee here we go

[knotty talon]

omg 😭 me too kinda

i was on youtube singing karaoke

and then i was like aight this one it is

[grim trench]

lmao

but tbh it was wayy easier than I thought

much better than the Julliard one

[knotty talon]

ooo

nice juilliard?

sounds cool

[knotty talon]

ya was much easier than i thought 😭

[grim trench]

yee but I want to do something more experimental

like fusion jazz

[knotty talon]

my judge's name was. bob.

and some other guy.

[grim trench]

L M A O

[knotty talon]

but his name was bob 😭

and he has this majestic beard

like it was so long and majestic

ive never seen anything like it

[grim trench]

sick

[knotty talon]

literally a white beard and he played piano like some genius

💀 dumbledore vibes

[grim trench]

yee here we go that's berklee

I just want the gigs from Berklee ugh

[bronze spire]

Maybe, get this, harvard is availability based 😱😱😱

[grim trench]

I thought Yale was the same..?

[sudden hearth]

I doubt so but don’t really have any non-anecdotal proof

[knotty talon]

arent they all availability based?

[sudden hearth]

Yale def isn’t

They interview those they “need more information” about

[bronze spire]

From what ive seen yale isnt

[grim trench]

Ain't no way lmao

[sudden hearth]

And my Yale interviewer confirmed that they prescreen

[bronze spire]

But thats anecdotal so might not be true

O

[grim trench]

O

[sudden hearth]

Though some had been admitted in the past without an interview

[knotty talon]

looked it up yale is just availability based and doesnt really matter if u get one or not

it can either add or not add

[bronze spire]

Okay tbh guys interviews literally do not matter

Whether u get on or not means nothing

[grim trench]

lmao I thought that was the best part of my application

[knotty talon]

man my harvard interview was weird 😭 ma'am asked me about what research ive done 4 times...

like 4 times.

[sudden hearth]

“Because of limited interviewing capacity, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions prioritizes interviews for students for whom the Admissions Committee needs more information”

[knotty talon]

why u asking 4 timeshfileruhg

[knotty talon]

oh interesting

[sudden hearth]

Taken directly from their website

[knotty talon]

thats really interesting

[grim trench]

I mean yea Yale deferred me and still no new info so I guess good for them

Btw still no intervieew

[knotty talon]

😭 ur fine

[grim trench]

I mean screw it Im not going there lmao

I have mental disability which is gonna be a problem there

[sudden hearth]

Fr Harvard>Yale

i’m just not sure i’d get in for piano

[knotty talon]

or barnard

barnard fun

[humble stirrup]

i applied to columbia

i just didn’t audition for dual degree

because i want to keep music as a hobby

[grim trench]

Hmm make sense

I was into astronomy for a solid while

Until I went to Home Depot

[knotty talon]

i wanna study music 💀 specifically music is medicine. harvard has such a great focus on that

[knotty talon]

wut. LOL

wdym home depot 😭

[grim trench]

Music psychiatry will be pretty epic

[grim trench]

I am a engineering guy rn at least

[humble stirrup]

EXCUSE YOU

[knotty talon]

LOL

[humble stirrup]

i’m just being real

[grim trench]

hmm basically just fancy drills and saws

I liek itttttt

[humble stirrup]

engineering is for people who want to die doing physics but can’t conceptualize the theoretical

🐈

[grim trench]

Can't be real if u never try it lol

[humble stirrup]

i wanted to be an aerospace engineer until i was 16

[grim trench]

bro literally raw trolling right here

[humble stirrup]

i’m just messing with you dw

[grim trench]

let me come up with a rebuttal line

[knotty talon]

LOL

[knotty talon]

😭

[humble stirrup]

i’m sitting pretty with a 7 predicted in IB english lang&lit HL 🥰

[grim trench]

imagine

your school doesn't even offer IBs lmao

[humble stirrup]

dual enrollment = IB > AP

[grim trench]

Yee but ur still stressing abt the IB grades

[knotty talon]

[humble stirrup]

that is very cool cara

[knotty talon]

thank u

[humble stirrup]

what were the results

[grim trench]

that deserves a nobel prize

[knotty talon]

melts faster in water

B)

[humble stirrup]

very cool

[knotty talon]

ya

[knotty talon]

thank u

[grim trench]

@humble stirrup explain this phenomenon with ur P H Y S I C S K N O W L E D G E

[knotty talon]

LOL

[humble stirrup]

ok uh

[grim trench]

uh?

[wheat wraith]

Dayumn

[humble stirrup]

water has more density than air so it can cover the surface area of the cube more + provides more pressure to an ice cube as it melts so i guess it would heat up more because it has more contact

however if the air is hotter than the water it would melt slower in water than air afaik

[wheat wraith]

I could use this while cooking

[humble stirrup]

but like don’t quote me on any of that

[knotty talon]

oh

how do i read that

[humble stirrup]

i think that’s convection

[knotty talon]

wut am i

reading

density? surface area?

[grim trench]

bro literally just googled I assure that

[humble stirrup]

maybe? idk

[knotty talon]

why is air hotter than water

[humble stirrup]

bruh

[knotty talon]

water is much hotter than air

LOL

[humble stirrup]

i didn’t say that fr

[knotty talon]

oh

[humble stirrup]

i said if you’re testing it separately

[knotty talon]

well.

[humble stirrup]

one in hot air versus one in cooler water

[knotty talon]

:) im dum

[humble stirrup]

i didn’t google it until i found u the definition of convection

[knotty talon]

convection

like convection ovens

[humble stirrup]

yes

convection is heat transfer

[knotty talon]

oh

[grim trench]

hmm that's pretty sus still

[knotty talon]

its like baking

[humble stirrup]

yes

[grim trench]

yes

[humble stirrup]

idk what you want me to say more abt bruh i’m just cracked

[grim trench]

K better stay cracked

[humble stirrup]

and that was a simple physics question

[grim trench]

let the engineering dude to fix u

[humble stirrup]

that wasn’t even physics

[humble stirrup]

what

💀

[grim trench]

dude*s

[humble stirrup]

to fix me SMH WHAT

[grim trench]

🥲

[humble stirrup]

LOL

“i can fix them”

IM NOT YOUR PASSION PROJECT 😭

[grim trench]

Thx for the idea but I did something different for mine

[wheat wraith]

Wait a minute, so if I put my beef (has been in fridge frozen for 12 hours) in a room temprature water, does it melt faster than it would have been if it was in the air?

[humble stirrup]

i have too many passion projects ongoing rn and none of them are people

[humble stirrup]

yep

[grim trench]

Yep

[humble stirrup]

i do that with my fish before searing them

it gives it a better thaw

[wheat wraith]

Ohh nice.

[humble stirrup]

i’m available feel free to hmu ;) /j

[knotty talon]

wait then why do people leave out their

meat

in the air

to defrost

🧍‍♀️

[grim trench]

cuz they got 0 chef experience

[humble stirrup]

they should put it in water it’s more effective

[knotty talon]

😭

[grim trench]

needs sum engineering nerd to reboot them

nerd*s

[humble stirrup]

what kind of engineering are you going into

also what about harvard screams engineering 😭

isn’t harvard engineering notoriously mid

[grim trench]

Yes but Im into a bunch of subjects

It's the interdisciplinary education

[grim trench]

I put in "UNDECIDED"

cuz there's a choice for "engineering sciences"

[humble stirrup]

cringe 😭

[grim trench]

hmm debatable

I got in love with so many subjects that I need the next four years to figure them all out

[humble stirrup]

ah that sucks

i think mit would be better for engineering than harvard

[grim trench]

Ofc but it's too nerdy for me

The drummer in my band got into MIT but screw it that's not where I wanna do music

[humble stirrup]

how are you going to go into engineering and not be nerdy

[grim trench]

cuz Im Asian 🙂

[humble stirrup]

what does that have to do with anything 🤨

[grim trench]

stereotypes

[knotty talon]

im asian and i aint nerdy 😭

bestie im like.

the opposite of nerdy LOL

[humble stirrup]

yea i think it’s wrong to say “because i’m asian, i have to be nerdy”

[grim trench]

I guess this isn't nerdy at all

[humble stirrup]

that is just really cool

also being nerdy isn’t derogatory bro

[grim trench]

bro being nice first time tonight

[wheat wraith]

Asians play... Computer games a lot...

[humble stirrup]

i’m nerdy

i’m a southeast european girl

[grim trench]

L E A G U E

OK I actually have never played that game

The game I played the most is called "Farming Simulator"

[wheat wraith]

Wait are u from georgia or serbia by any chance?

[humble stirrup]

why is this getting upvoted

[humble stirrup]

romania

[wheat wraith]

Ohh cool

[humble stirrup]

2nd gen immigrant tho, i live in the US

[wheat wraith]

I see

[grim trench]

where if u don't mind telling

[humble stirrup]

small state in the midatlantic

it’s pretty easy to find from my chat history

[grim trench]

Wait I live in the midatlantic too

[humble stirrup]

you probably don’t live where i do tho

there’s a 0% chance

[grim trench]

engineering nerd don't search

[humble stirrup]

🗿

what state do you live in

[grim trench]

MD

[humble stirrup]

ah im from DE

do you do math stuff by chance

[grim trench]

Good good that's a safe distance

[wheat wraith]

Dayumn

I wanna live in us

[humble stirrup]

i need to know because i’ve ben to too many math comps over there

[grim trench]

Lmao bro asking an Asian about doing math

[grim trench]

NERD

[humble stirrup]

have you been to the salisbury university comps

😶

[grim trench]

Never been into the math world

[humble stirrup]

ok good

phew

[grim trench]

it's not my thing

[grim trench]

ok that's pretty sus

[humble stirrup]

😭 thank god

eheheh

i do regional math stuff

[grim trench]

I thought IMOs were like the pinnacle but u guys tried rly hard smh

[humble stirrup]

it’s too easy to doxx me if u knew about any of that stuff

[humble stirrup]

huh

[grim trench]

huh

[humble stirrup]

wdym but “u guys tried rly hard”

we don’t have AMC here

so i can’t qual

i do math league and random regional comps

[grim trench]

damn das crazy

I mean AMCs are very much clichés on people's resume

[humble stirrup]

wait quick question are you from south or north MD

[grim trench]

South ma'am

[humble stirrup]

😭

oh no

[grim trench]

I am not from here Im a foreigner

[humble stirrup]

are u near delaware border or no

like ocean city area

if so we might need to talk

[grim trench]

Nope

[humble stirrup]

i frequent a hs down there

aight good

[wheat wraith]

Did u try Egmo by any chance?

[humble stirrup]

what’s egmo

[wheat wraith]

I think it looks really great on the application

[grim trench]

Lmao bro actually getting stressed by my physical location lmao

[wheat wraith]

European Girl's Mathematical Olympiad

[humble stirrup]

ohh i’m not in europe

i’m in the US

[wheat wraith]

Not as prestigious as IMO but still universities take it pretty seriously

[wheat wraith]

Yeah2 but everyone can participate

[humble stirrup]

oh fr?

that’s neat

[wheat wraith]

Im from asia and my country has participated for 4 years now

[humble stirrup]

nah actually i was stressed i might actually know you

i’ve accidentally spoke with people here that i had mutuals with

[grim trench]

bruh weird internet world

Who knows we'll see 🥲

[humble stirrup]

nah dw i don’t know that many asians from MD

i think ur good

we might still have mutuals

but i don’t think you’re from SDHS

[grim trench]

Not everyone talks about truth here > : ))

[humble stirrup]

whaaaa

[grim trench]

whaaaa

[humble stirrup]

i guess SDHS isn’t really ocean city

more berlin

[grim trench]

alr gotta stop procrastinating and do my score study

Y'all have funnnnn

It's good to talk with you folks

[humble stirrup]

cya

[grim trench]

No comment 🙂 )

[humble stirrup]

😭

i took my act down there

[kind elk]

hi nerds

calypso you’re so cool

so is space

[humble stirrup]

aw hi luck

[earnest cloud]

guys

Day 8 no Harvard likely 😭

[daring jungle]

is this gonna happen every day

[keen goblet]

😭

[earnest cloud]

yes

every day till march 30th when i get my unlikely letter

[daring jungle]

best way to apply harvard is to shotgun it and not care about the result

[earnest cloud]

https://tenor.com/view/monsters-university-mike-wazowski-excited-happy-yahoo-gif-5186386

[spark valley]

Are you from India?

[queen zinc]

im gonna cry i want harvard

[earnest cloud]

no

im indian american

[vocal moat]

applied to harvard (i had a fee waiver, i will not be accepted)

[queen zinc]

not really

i’m a harvard whore

i love harvard

and princeton

these two are my favorites

above all else i want them

wdym why

there are other schools i love more than ivys like

i love USC more than like most of the ivys

hatvard mainly for the law school tbf

princeton it’s just the way it’s described

my best friends dad growing up was a princeton grad and he always described it in this rlly cool wayc

like we’d go over to his house for dinner and he would like

be the heart of any discussion

this man was another level of intellectual

yk someone with a really fun personality

that was what he was like but in a

smarts way

o well

i mean

like yeah prestige def important but not all

sure. but i didn’t find anyone from any other t20vachools

it’s special to me because i knew him

[balmy osprey]

just got an interview

[gusty garnet]

I have several reasons for wishing to go to Harvard

[queen zinc]

Bro u got in

[keen goblet]

Yale why?

[queen zinc]

bro u got in

[keen goblet]

What did yake do?

[queen zinc]

bro u literally got in

bro

[keen goblet]

YOU GOT IN

???

[queen zinc]

there’s no way

BRO

NO WAY

U GOT IN FOR SURE

[keen goblet]

Goddamn

Interview

[queen zinc]

THERES NO WAY THEYRE SENDING OUT LAST MIN INTERVIEW REQS FOR EVERYONE

[keen goblet]

I didn't get one 😔

[queen zinc]

THEYRE SENDING FOR PPL THEY WANNA ACVEPT

[keen goblet]

Na

You're overthinking

[queen zinc]

no

dude

this happened for my friend last year

she got an interview end of feb

and she got in

[keen goblet]

Darn

Harvard pls gib interview 🙏

[lofty patio]

I don't want an interview at this point honestly

Just evaluate me without it idgaf I'm not getting in either way

[keen goblet]

Damn

[vital hill]

My guy

This is not last minute

Lmfao

A friend of mine got an interview on 15th March last year and got hard rejected

You’re just building up false hopes

[runic sleet]

So?

[warm escarp]

interviews aren’t even that important so getting one isn’t a big sign because it won’t be the deciding factor

[lofty patio]

interviews are solely availability based fuck are you on

[daring jungle]

nah like

[lofty patio]

my friend who submitted a 1320 sat for shits and giggles got an interview a few days back

[daring jungle]

people who get rejected from their dream school and still get into a t20 are so annoying

ok no thats not true

theyre annoying whne they complain

like so what you didn't get into your dream school you're still gonna go to a t20 and have an amazing time

[lofty patio]

theres no way hes getting into harvard yet he got an interview (he literally submitted an app as a dare)

[daring jungle]

and then on top of that you complain about having an opportunity that most people wouldn't have

[lofty patio]

last time i said this i got my balls busted cause i said he wasnt getting into harvard

no like bro has a 2.8 and hardly any ecs and used chat gpt for essays

and he got an interview

so i dont know where youre getting the whole "they give interviews if they wanna admit you" thing from

[daring jungle]

i think harvard interviews as many as they can

[lofty patio]

stop spreading fake news

[daring jungle]

and its solely availability based

that is factual

[lofty patio]

exactly

[daring jungle]

dunno about the many as they can bit

[grim trench]

https://youtu.be/D4NaTa782F8

[daring jungle]

would it not be a more interesting system to have like

a board of current students

instead of some old people deciding

[grim trench]

^^

[wild shore]

HAHA i love that video

"accept all the gay people" is so real

wait

WAIT

NVM

I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE VIDEO FROM HARVARD TIME

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yjlsG3xhAA

i thought that was the video you were talking about 💀 mb

[runic sleet]

i’m intrigued 😂

[wild shore]

i watched it like 5 times when i was waiting for early decisions bc i thought it was real for 0.001 seconds

[humble stirrup]

accept all the gay people 😭

(accept me)

[warm escarp]

accept me i’ll be your gay latin first gen american neurodivergent token student

[humble stirrup]

aren’t you legacy 🤨 to dartmouth

[warm escarp]

first gen american

not first gen college student 😭

[humble stirrup]

💀

[warm escarp]

sorry should’ve used commas

[wild shore]

😭😭 this is so funy

[warm escarp]

definitely not first gen college student even before my dad my grandparents were mostly college educated

[humble stirrup]

bruh my grandma and grandpa never had a college degree and both of my parents went to college late (mom did cc, dad did cc then state school), im technically a “first gen american” but even i don’t call myself first gen 🤨

[warm escarp]

oh well i’m sorry if it’s uncomfortable i’ll stop calling myself but i just say it cause both my parents are immigrants 😭

[humble stirrup]

yea ur good maybe just second gen is the better word here

[warm escarp]

okok

[wild shore]

isn’t first gen when you are the one to immigrate ?

[humble stirrup]

yep

[wild shore]

and then first gen college student is first in ur fam to go to college

[humble stirrup]

also yes

if you were born here, ur 2nd gen

[warm escarp]

oh rlly? idk i’ve always heard first gen in the first gen to be born in the country but i guess that makes more sense

[humble stirrup]

i was born on american land but my mom wasn’t a US citizen so I’m technically dual romanian-US citizen per romanian laws

i didn’t list it like that anywhere tho because i don’t officially have my romanian passport

[humble stirrup]

maybe first gen american-(ethnicity)?

like in that sense, im a first gen romanian-american

[warm escarp]

yeah that’s kinda what i meant i tbink(?)

thank you guys for telling me

[wild shore]

no, i’m pretty sure you’d be a second gen armenian american

[humble stirrup]

i hope you didn’t put in your essays that you’re first gen. that could not sit well w/ readers esp if both of your parents are educated and ur US born

[warm escarp]

i did not

[humble stirrup]

ur fine then

[warm escarp]

i did talk about having immigrant parents but i didn’t out the phrase first gen american in

[grim trench]

bruh don't u guys have school today????

[humble stirrup]

it’s 2:52pm

[warm escarp]

school ended at 2:20 for me

[humble stirrup]

school is over

[grim trench]

Bruh typical DE moment

[humble stirrup]

wym 🤨

i had DE until 10:20am, then went back to school

and my high school finishes at 2:15pm

🤷‍♀️

and now i’m home

[grim trench]

that's too early for me

got half an hour to go for classes then engineering time with my homies

[pearl briar]

me except not gay but first gen college student but not neurodivergent

(i think)

[humble stirrup]

i love that mit let me express my sexuality on their app but i’m unsure why they asked for it

i put that im asexual/biro but it felt weird

[wild shore]

same for everything too except second gen 😭

i wouldnt worry about that though lol

[grim trench]

bruh same here

[wild shore]

i’m sure they’ll accept at least two of us 🙏

[warm escarp]

i put nonbinary and bi it felt a little strange cause im unsure about both but i know@im not cis or straight!

[grim trench]

but still wont go there

[humble stirrup]

“accept me i’ll be your ace/biro romanian second gen american neurodivergent token student”

😏

[wild shore]

i am getting auto rejected from mit i put “cat” as my gender 💀💀

[humble stirrup]

CAT

AHHAHAH

wait did you apply rd

ur not committing to harvard?

[wild shore]

no i am but they exteneddd the deadline for mit and i gave in 💀

kinda for shits n giggles though

[humble stirrup]

ohh i see

[wild shore]

i forgor my interview too 💀💀

[humble stirrup]

yeah my app was suspicious as hell 😩

[wild shore]

and wrote about puss in boots 2 for mid year 💀💀💀

[humble stirrup]

if i get in i promised id buy a fursuit

[wild shore]

i’m gonna make a mit rejection reaction video w my kermit the frog puppet

[wild shore]

WW

[humble stirrup]

i made a joke awhile back that was like “there’s two types of mit students: furry fanartist, and IMO gold”

[humble stirrup]

that is so based

my FUN form was decent

[grim trench]

just curious, anyone who applied to harvard also attached their fanart portfolio?

[humble stirrup]

i sumkitted an art portfolio.

but not a fanart portfolio 💀💀💀💀

and that was the only place i submitted an art portfolio to

[wild shore]

wait really? what was it of :0

[humble stirrup]

nothing 😳

[humble stirrup]

had a few pieces i referenced in my commonapp (mainly staining, ink, and charcoal). had a technical, conceptual, and abstract piece

should’ve added more

but someone told me not to add studies

i have good studies but it’s kinda rare i make full pieces (til now)

[grim trench]

damn u talented physics nerds

[humble stirrup]

im good at everything

[gusty garnet]

No(t yet). I just have several reasons for wishing to go

[grim trench]

cocky

I was gonna submit this one to the portfolio but I didn't finish it before the deadline lmao
