[grim trench]

[humble stirrup]

and were going to offer me mentorship + extra finaid

[grim trench]

[humble stirrup]

i hope i get more finaid than the npc tho

[grim trench]

which is a hefty 62k for 4 years

[balmy flume]

Any Harvard INTLs present? I am aware that this might be a counterintuitive place to ask that💀 (good luck to everyone here, BTW!)

[humble stirrup]

bruh

[grim trench]

YEEEEE MEMEMEMEMMEE

[humble stirrup]

🤨

[queen zinc]

GUYS HARVARD SENR OUT LIKELIES I GOT MINE

[humble stirrup]

ok buddy

[queen zinc]

:(

[grim trench]

trolling

[balmy flume]

Thank you, lost my ability to sense that without an /s at the end :/

[queen zinc]

you guys are mean

[grim trench]

are u an artist?

according to your name

[balmy flume]

Why?

[humble stirrup]

🗿 he’s asking if ur a “chemist”

😭

[queen zinc]

another fellow harvard man

[balmy flume]

Of course not, I’m a quarterback.

[grim trench]

SHEEEEESH

[grim trench]

damn das hot

[humble stirrup]

recruited?

[balmy flume]

/s

[grim trench]

ok nerds u guys have fun gonna go trolling with my engineering homies

[humble stirrup]

oh 😭

[balmy flume]

Looking for admitted INTS for ‘27 or previous years because I just got an email firmly telling me that the acceptance offer is not unconditional and difference between predicted grades and final grades is of matter.. just need to know if this is a method of collective fearmongering

[humble stirrup]

are you IB?

I’m pretty sure they don’t rescind unless the gap is massive

[balmy flume]

Yeah, you?

[humble stirrup]

rescinding is a tedious battle

yep!

i’m IB as well

[balmy flume]

sending love before M23.

[humble stirrup]

thank you, wishing you luck too 😭

I took my french IA today

and I think I’ve secured a 6 in french (although it’s my worst subject)

[balmy flume]

That’s a bit late😅 we had our IOs back in oct-nov. Just finished a mock week, which certainly didn’t reassure me about the may exams

How are you guys on written IAs?

And TOK essay

[humble stirrup]

back in oct-nov?? we take our HL eng IO end of march

finished TOK essay in december

IAs, half my finals have been submitted

[balmy flume]

Damn, we have really different deadlines, just handed in TOK essay today. Y’all must have crunched the essay then

[humble stirrup]

the rest I have drafts submitted for

so we’re getting there

[humble stirrup]

Yeah our schedule is a bit different

We got TOK out of the way this year and last pretty early

[balmy flume]

Probably smart

[humble stirrup]

did exhibition last year, essay in dec

[balmy flume]

What subjects?

[humble stirrup]

and EE submitted

I’m taking HL Hist/LangLit A/Visual Arts and SL Chem/Analysis & Approaches/French

We don’t have stem HLs sadly

wbu?

[balmy flume]

HL Swedish A Lit / Eng A LangLit / Geography; SL Global Politics / Math AA / Biology

No HL stems is interesting, but nice to see another langlit person!

[humble stirrup]

yeah I’m not intl, I go to a public school in the US

[balmy flume]

Also first person that I ever see taking solo chem (certainly can’t blame you tho, wanted to do it myself). Only have ever seen it as the subject bio/phys have to take and hate it

[humble stirrup]

so it’s kind of a “thrown together” program in the sense that I can also pick and choose other classes in AP (albeit minimal) and Dual Enrollment

we don’t get predicteds but have GPA, it’s really weird

[humble stirrup]

interesting, yeah my school offers bio but you either take bio or chem

they’re during the same period

[balmy flume]

So your IB scores are converted in a way that also can be summed with your non-IB subjects? American pre-uni schooling confuses me

[humble stirrup]

yeah it’s very odd lol

ib scores get translated into gpa

i’ve been full 5.0 schedule for 2y

before then i double blocked my course reqs for ib

[balmy flume]

GJ!

[humble stirrup]

thank you

i’m so relieved exams are almost here so i can be done lol

@queen zinc i can’t tell if you’re being for real lol

if not you should stop trolling

[balmy flume]

That’s the right attitude I guess. Anyway, good luck to you then with the exams and your admission, crossing my fingers!

[kind elk]

you got into Harvard? @balmy flume

someone got a likely?

[balmy osprey]

harvard interview in less than 30 mins

[vague ice]

good luck!!

[balmy osprey]

tyy

[kind elk]

GL

[balmy osprey]

i feel like i should’ve prepped more

but yolo

[vague ice]

it was a very chill convo for me

[humble stirrup]

nah, he was trolling

[vague ice]

dw too much :)

[kind elk]

ah ok

[humble stirrup]

and took it kindly upon himself to post it in all caps in #✨-celebration-station

🗿

[balmy osprey]

omg rlly

he asked for my resume

so i’m like oh well

[humble stirrup]

mine was a chill convo

[balmy osprey]

i don’t have crazy achievements or anything

[humble stirrup]

i asked if he wanted my resume but he said no that’s already on ur app

they’re verifying that you’re authentic

and a functioning human being

[vague ice]

basically

[humble stirrup]

you don’t have to have crazy achievements

[vague ice]

I don't have any either lol

[humble stirrup]

i mention my one research experience and literally every single interviewer ive had goes crazy and doesn’t listen to anything else i say 🗿

it’s stupid

[vague ice]

I talked about nuclear fusion during my interview

lmaoo

[humble stirrup]

having big achievements makes no difference in ur interview report because it’s better for them to reiterate that you’re genuine and have interests

[vague ice]

exactly

[humble stirrup]

rather than saying “wow they have done x acfivity”

[vague ice]

I don't have any physics related ecs but I enjoy talking about it a lot

[humble stirrup]

bonus if they say both but interviews rlly don’t matter lol

[autumn plank]

me when i found out this kid i went to school with who is literally taking algebra 2 this year and physically bullied everyone and gets c’s on everything got an offer from harvard bc he plays football and goes to a sports feeder school now 😍😍😍

[turbid cypress]

💀

Harvard core

[kind elk]

prob had something other than just football

idt they would take Cs unless he was really really good

[short haven]

Good essays on bullying probably lol /j

[bronze spire]

Yea thats not happening at Harvard

They’d rather keep their reputation than have the best football player in the country

[autumn plank]

i didnt even think he was that good like ??

[bronze spire]

Unless maybe he had cracked ecs

[autumn plank]

im genuinely Confused

[bronze spire]

Like luck said

He was prolly lying abt harvard

[vague ice]

Tf

[autumn plank]

he started going to a feeder school like last year so he cant have changed that much in that little time

idk he tagged the specific coaches he talked with at harvard

[vague ice]

These feeders man ☠

[autumn plank]

and they r real coaches my dads in sports journalism and we r in mass he knows them (not like buddy buddy but hes talked to them for stories)

[bronze spire]

Nah even at feeders that doesn’t happen

[autumn plank]

is it possible that they were like

[bronze spire]

Only explanation us like if his parents donated a building pol

[humble stirrup]

is he stupidly rich

[bronze spire]

^

[autumn plank]

is it possible they were like if u can get in u got a spot?

no my town is like median income 60k

[humble stirrup]

is he FGLI

[autumn plank]

only reason hes at feeder school is football scholarship

fgli?

[humble stirrup]

first gen/low income

[autumn plank]

low income maybe but not first gen

[bronze spire]

Even being hookrd doesn’t matter if ur only good ec is football

[autumn plank]

i have to be missing something like

[humble stirrup]

yea he’s probably very good at smth else too

[autumn plank]

prolly

[sacred beacon]

varsity blues 2.0?

or just simply athlete kid

[bronze spire]

No being insanely good at one sport isnt enough to get u into havard

Harvard**

Even recruited kids get rejected for bad grades

[autumn plank]

but does offer mean like u are in

[bronze spire]

No

Harvard doesnt do offers

None of the ivies do

They have likelies but those are different

[autumn plank]

he was like “after good convo w x and x im honored to receive an offer from harvard football”

[sacred beacon]

if it was just half decent, then it wouldn’t really matter. Athletes being reqruited at the cost of grades is not something they like to do, but not something they don’t do either

however, are you talking about an EA acceptance or a likely letter?

or neither?

[autumn plank]

this

[sacred beacon]

I don’t know the context of this convo so I can’t say much

[autumn plank]

thats all he said in his post

[sacred beacon]

that- seems odd?

harvard accepts you with the hope you enrol as a player

[autumn plank]

do u guys thibk hes lying

[sacred beacon]

but the footbal department itself doesn’t get you in

which is why they still want decent grades

[runic sleet]

I think it's really hard for morons (for lack of better words) to get an offer from Harvard. You have to be Harvard caliber and D1 caliber.

[sacred beacon]

cuz its not 100% u will play for them once admitted

[autumn plank]

yeah

[sacred beacon]

You still need a couple of Bs to be an athlete kid

[autumn plank]

yall think i should swipe up and be like dude congrats thats awesome! what were ur stats thats so cool

LMAO

[sacred beacon]

They still want grades to somewhat degree since they know there is always a chance a kid they reqruited wont even end up playing once admitting

*admitted

[autumn plank]

yeah

[runic sleet]

it's not that deep you're giving this a lot of energy i feel like

[knotty talon]

i mean be happy for the guy

its great he got in :)

like wow congrats!

[autumn plank]

the dude made mine and others lives hell as a kid i am just curious as to how he got into harvard 😭

[sacred beacon]

yo cara

wassup

[runic sleet]

[sacred beacon]

[sacred beacon]

[runic sleet]

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

[bronze spire]

[humble stirrup]

i think that’s what it might come down to for my last piece

my theme is chaos

i have made like 4 different semi abstract renditions

[runic sleet]

just splatter some shit on the canvas. any color, whatever. put a banana peel, an apple core, a shoelace. who cares.

[humble stirrup]

[runic sleet]

[queen zinc]

i get to annoy shreyas

[grim trench]

How do ya know?

I thought they usually do them around the week before Spring Break

And after that it's just the whole committee meeting

[queen zinc]

im kidding

i haved no idea

[grim trench]

Lmao 💀

[earnest cloud]

[static obsidian]

would love a likely

please harvard

that’d. Yknow an acceptance would do

[rich rivet]

Yk what even just a simple plain Harvard acceptance would do on 30th 🥰

[grim trench]

thought it is 31st

[rich rivet]

No clue lmao

[grim trench]

ayo homie which country r u from?

@rich rivet

[bronze spire]

I think its 30

[fast isle]

its 30\

[rich rivet]

Hahaha india Hahahaa

What about you

[acoustic plaza]

do you know if anyone from India received a Harvard interview yet ?

I have heard that they are pre-screened for internationals , is that true ?

[keen goblet]

I know some people who got them

[grim trench]

China - but I attend a high school in the USA, but still in the international applicant pool

[keen goblet]

But one of them had to email the AO and ask for an interview

[grim trench]

wait is that even allowed???

[rich rivet]

Yk it’s been awfully silent; while I’m from a small town, I do know quite a few people that go to Dias and tisb - the feeder schools, and I’ve heard no one getting interviews which is odd

I've heard yale interviews being given out like candies this year to people in cities tho

[keen goblet]

I don't think it's true considering it's supposed to be based on availability, people say they pre screen intls but there's no proof of that

[acoustic plaza]

but someone has gotten them without emailing AOs lol ?

[keen goblet]

There are ivy league feeder schools in India

[rich rivet]

They were supposed to be, but it doesn't seem like it this year?

[keen goblet]

I think one of the people got one without emailing

[grim trench]

yee and in China too

[acoustic plaza]

why not this year ?

[rich rivet]

Again it's all speculation, and word of mouth; take it for its worth

[keen goblet]

Damn wish I knew that before i was born so my parents could relocate to the city its in

[keen goblet]

Yeah i don't think it's pre screened tbh considering a guy i know won the rise scholarship and has other banger ECs didn't get one

[grim trench]

na man I am not in a feeder school, I was born in a small ass village, and I am the only one who speaks English in my house

[acoustic plaza]

wait the guy that you said got one, do you know his profile ?

[rich rivet]

Yales supposed to be pre-screened as well, and these two schools in Bombay, almost everyone got an interview, and no way in hell Yale would accept some of those apps lmao

[runic sleet]

那你会说中文吧？

[keen goblet]

Yea

[acoustic plaza]

its harvard tho

[acoustic plaza]

could you dm ?

[grim trench]

必须的啊homie

[keen goblet]

Bro he got a 500k scholarship

[rich rivet]

That's two of us brother 😭

[keen goblet]

His work/non profit has been recognised by the govt of India

[runic sleet]

Oo fancy. I don’t know much, I used to know more.

[keen goblet]

Sure, but i don't think I should share his profile without his consent

[grim trench]

I speak Hebrew, Chinese, Cantonese, English and Spanish

[rich rivet]

And I was honored by Nitin Gadkari thé no 4 cabinet minister for writing an ir book and my ngo of 6 years

[runic sleet]

damn what the…

[keen goblet]

Damn it must've been hard to convince your parents about studying abroad them

Then

[acoustic plaza]

ik someone who got one too, they got rejected from Harvard, but got into Princeton

[rich rivet]

Lmao, I don’t think interviews were pre-screened this year, but it’s all speculation

[grim trench]

dude I got deferred from Yale in REA lmao and still no interview

[acoustic plaza]

yoo

[keen goblet]

Ah i see

[rich rivet]

Yo Yale rea deferral is pretty solid tho

[grim trench]

my parents are big conservatives, but yes they have a very bright vision about education

Also I want to study medicine in USA and that's why I come here for high school

[grim trench]

man it's brutal

Im not hoping about that school anymore

especially I heard about the mental health lawsuit this year

absolutely ridiculous

[rich rivet]

Naahh id still go if they accept me hahaha

[supple pollen]

Yale is a cool school

[acoustic plaza]

safetyschool.org

[grim trench]

Yea man but here's the thing, I have bipolar and schizophrenia

[supple pollen]

I know someone who's safety is yale and reach is Harvard

[grim trench]

My chem teacher is a Yale alumnus, and they also complain about the lack of mental healthcare in the yale system

[acoustic plaza]

plus I have heard yale is very mid for CS/tech

[grim trench]

that's just dumb

[acoustic plaza]

safety school chants intensify

[supple pollen]

yeah

[acoustic plaza]

unless legacy

[supple pollen]

It's legacy to both

[grim trench]

well here's the thing

Unless u find his last name in one of the buildings on any of the campus, that's like gambling

[supple pollen]

His grandpa is the largest med school donor ever

[grim trench]

Warren Alpert...?

I can't think of any other big ass donor of HMS

and I don't know any donor of Yale New Haven Health cuz it's pretty ass

[supple pollen]

It's HMS but you probably won't find his name, pretty private guy

[grim trench]

epico

Dude but I think the admission office of Harvard College and HMS are separate

[supple pollen]

They are

[grim trench]

U gotta let me know if that dude get in or not

No more other info, just tell me if he made it in

[supple pollen]

Will do, but btw he's like brilliant on his own, he could get into Harvard without legacy

[grim trench]

Damn kinda wanna make friend with this dude tbh

Does he wanna go pre med?

[supple pollen]

I think so, not sure that he's sure tho

[grim trench]

K man, if u can share my discord contact with him/her/them that would be dope - would love to make friends with pre med folks

If that dude says no it's totally fine

[supple pollen]

I'll update you on him but I can't give you his contact info, sorry

[grim trench]

K all good all good I don't need his info

[supple pollen]

He's in this server tho so you might run I to him, but I don't wanna share stuff on his behalf and then connect it to him

[grim trench]

K that's cool we can just chillin' till ivy day

[median jolt]

i mean harvard doesn't have a hospital

comparing a hospital to a medical school might be ur problem

[grim trench]

lmao yes that's true

But here's the thing, the Yale Medical School Education system is also like Harvard, it has multiple hospitals

[median jolt]

i mean ynhh owns basically every hospital in the state

[grim trench]

yea but the organization is super chaotic

Like the Smilow Cancer Institute has like 6 location and the communication is a huge issue

I interned in the Radiation Oncology department in Trumbull campus and it was quite interesting

[median jolt]

ahh nice

my general understanding is just that hospitals are chaotic

that is the consensus i get from most ppl

is there anything that makes ynhh uniquely bad?

[grim trench]

Trust me broski Harvard does a much better job in terms of coordinating their teaching hospital

[grim trench]

Emm office politics was certainly much worse there

I want to go into healthcare management so I followed some folks in the office, and that wasnt rly fun

Can't say much details here

Also I dont rly like Peter Salovey

[median jolt]

lol my roommates mother is an administrator at ynhh

ill ask her abt the tea sometime

[grim trench]

Yee it will be fun

[humble stirrup]

legacy to both means virtually nothing

[median jolt]

i mean hms is universally considered the #1 medical program so i certainly would hope so

[median jolt]

being the biggest donor certainly helps

[grim trench]

bro being jealous

[median jolt]

i mean they're not wrong

[humble stirrup]

wait sorry my discord didn’t update i responded to an old message

[median jolt]

legacy doesn't mean

that much

but the donations do

[humble stirrup]

but if you’re just generally alumni to both, it doesn’t mean much

unless you donate an absurd amount

[grim trench]

I wouldn't say HMS has the best hospital for some of the field, but it is truly very, very balanced

Like Weill Cornell Medical School has Hospital for Special Surgery, which is literally a banger in ortho

[grim trench]

or consistently small amount

[median jolt]

definitely, but there's a good mix of hospitals which probably helps

ynhh is definitely better in some areas

but hms definitely has better access

[grim trench]

The burn surgery department in YNHH is amazing

[median jolt]

with like beth israel

[median jolt]

pediatric is also rly good i have heard

[grim trench]

lmao who would ever go into pediatrics unless they failed their USMLE

jk jk

[grim trench]

Btw Harvard has Boston Children Hospital lmao

[supple pollen]

Boston Children's, Brigham Woman's, and matching to some of the best hospitals in the country

[grim trench]

Ohhh dude love Brigham & Woman's, their front desk reception is definitely one of the nicest I've ever seen in the OB/GYN departments

[supple pollen]

Huge hospital that's historically discovered and pioneered most new things in medicine in the past 100 years, and one of the best hospitals for care in the world

[median jolt]

bruh i didn't realise how big HMS is

12000 staff

[grim trench]

Lmao

[grim trench]

Johns Hopkins is even bigger

I used to live right next to one of their hospitals

They got like 40000+ full-time people

[median jolt]

oh that's just academic staff, not staff in the hospitals

[grim trench]

lol nvm that's dope

screw undergrad I only care about meds school

[median jolt]

one step at a time my guy

ur still in HS

[grim trench]

I attempted some BSMD and only an interview from CWRU lmao

It's so ** hard

[median jolt]

yeah bsmd's are impossible to get into

most my premed friends didn't get an offer from any of them

[grim trench]

damn

[median jolt]

though i think a lot of these kids only applied to the more competitive ones lmao

like northwestern cwru etc

[grim trench]

I mean the point of BSMD is getting a secure position in med schools

[grim trench]

Screw CWRU their tuition is like 84k raw nut for me

I am international so I can't apply for financial aid, it will hurt my chances to get in

84k * 8 years lmao

excluding life expense

[supple pollen]

14% yield rate for a reason

[vague ice]

can harvard just let me in

[grim trench]

I feel like CWRU just need those $$$

I've never seen any school sending that many promotion material like they do

Like literally all the time

[grim trench]

Knock the door and ask if he want to build a snowman

[sacred beacon]

wait 5-0

alvin?

what the actual fuck

I knew u were goated, but 5-0 goated?

[bronze spire]

14% yield is crazy for their acceptance rate

[sacred beacon]

@vague ice am I the only one in our friend group / server with more rejections than acceptances 💀

[supple pollen]

Yup

[vague ice]

bro idk my acceptances are padded with safeties

only umich is a target

[sacred beacon]

still

lol

[vague ice]

im actually 1-0

lmao

[sacred beacon]

btw I never have to study chem ever again now

[vague ice]

lets go

[sacred beacon]

I mean I fucked up the exam….

but lets focus on the bright side

atleast until the result release date…

[bronze spire]

Chem is the devils subject

[grim trench]

AP Chem?

[sacred beacon]

no, CBSE chemistry

worse than AP chem

[bronze spire]

Ap was the hardest class ive ever taken

[vague ice]

it's actually god's subject cuz he invented how the universe functions

[sacred beacon]

we have organic too

plus ap chem

[bronze spire]

Worse than ap chem 🫣🫣

[vague ice]

AP Chem is mickey mouse

[grim trench]

I thought that was the best class ever

[vague ice]

CBSE is crazy

[bronze spire]

I was deadass fighting for my life in ap chem

[grim trench]

I LUV LITHIUM

[sacred beacon]

AP Chem except multiply the same topics with a harder difficulty of questions and then sprinkle in organic chemistry to be 45% of your grade

[vague ice]

idk i found ap chem probably one of my easiest 5s

[grim trench]

yeee

[bronze spire]

Tbf i didnt rlly try too hard and got a decent grade but i had no idea what was going on

[sacred beacon]

for some context, I got a 65% (3rd rank in physics) in physics in 11th but a 5/5 in AP Physics Mech

[grim trench]

that's AP for u my brotha

[sacred beacon]

to be fair our school has heavy grade deflation in 11th grade

12th, 10th, 9th grade scores are more realistic

[vague ice]

every ap pales in comparison to CBSE

[sacred beacon]

ong

[vague ice]

anyone can study any ap in 6 weeks if they try

CBSE is like study all day all night 3 months

[sacred beacon]

I studied in 3 days lmfao

[vague ice]

and still not do well

[sacred beacon]

My life

with chem

I studied it 8 hours daily since january

[vague ice]

yeah but ur not anyone

[sacred beacon]

only to still fuck up the exam

[grim trench]

I studied APUSH in a week lmao

[sacred beacon]

if only I was born in the US system

easy As

[bronze spire]

What is cbse

[sacred beacon]

I still have A1 every year positionally ig (top 1/8th rank gets A1)

[vague ice]

apush is 2 day course

honestly

[sacred beacon]

my education board

[acoustic plaza]

lol there is CBSE and then there is JEE advanced

[sacred beacon]

Centeral Board of Secondary Education

[sacred beacon]

OH BOI

[vague ice]

y'all indians are CRAZY with it

[bronze spire]

Also US education system varies SO much from school to school

[sacred beacon]

IF US UNIVERSITIES WERE NOT AN OPTION FOR ME

[bronze spire]

What country?

[sacred beacon]

AND I HAD TO GIVE THE JEE?

[grim trench]

Is that the indian education system?

[sacred beacon]

JUST GIVE ME THE NOOSE ALREADY THEN

one of the education boards in India yes

[vague ice]

literally insane

[grim trench]

lmao tru

[bronze spire]

Why is there different ones?

[sacred beacon]

the most common is CBSE, then we have ICSE, then we have state boards

[sacred beacon]

all three are basically the same though

[grim trench]

damn

[sacred beacon]

more options to depress people

[vague ice]

vijit what state are u in

[sacred beacon]

Himachal

[bronze spire]

I didnt pay attention for half of apush and got a 4 by making up historical events 😭😭

[sacred beacon]

state doesn’t matter for the education board though

[vague ice]

wtf ur in the himalayas

mountain boy

[sacred beacon]

yes I am

like hello

have half my pictures in the Rizz server not given you enough hints

literally all of them are in the hills

[acoustic plaza]

no idea, s we have school boards which have final exams and then there is competitive exams for entrance to universities, JEE advanced are considered like the highest difficulty of exam in India

[sacred beacon]

school boards are national level, to add

[acoustic plaza]

lol I am from chennai literal opposite

[sacred beacon]

so our school, to prepare us for it, does heavy grade deflation in 11th grade

to prep us for 12th

[vague ice]

L school

[sacred beacon]

so heavy that the highest grade is a 78%-801% something

[grim trench]

dope

[sacred beacon]

*81

lmfao

[grim trench]

Harvard needs sum diversity in that geographic region

[sacred beacon]

cuz our schools reputation only depends on the 12th grade scores of the kids for the most part

[acoustic plaza]

cant relate my marks went up in 11th from 97 in 10th because i didnt have to deal with history and hindi anymore

[sacred beacon]

I think Im the first person to apply to any ivy in my state in the last 5-6 years lmfao

[grim trench]

Lmao same

[sacred beacon]

wouldn’t be surprised it was even graeter

*greater

[grim trench]

Literally nobody in my hometown knows about "ivy"

[sacred beacon]

other than 7 kids, everyone failed in our grade and had to retest

out of 55 kids

and 4 kids were retained for not passing in 3 retests. However they switched schools to save the embarrasment instead

[acoustic plaza]

lol my parents thouught yale was some random school like ball state

[sacred beacon]

for some reason they still rank me out of 51, when technically there were 55 kids

[grim trench]

lmfao ball state wtf lmao

[sacred beacon]

not my school tryna hide the kids who failed

I was top 3 in all subjects, but in Chem I was 7/55

I was this close to failing chem

which makes sense since its chem 😭

[sacred beacon]

lmfaoo

[sacred beacon]

same

[grim trench]

ayo bro does ur teacher beat kids for **ing up the test?

[sacred beacon]

my teachers know what Purdue is but not what MIT is 💀

[grim trench]

lmao

[sacred beacon]

our chem one, yes

._. not even a joke

[grim trench]

let's gooooo

[acoustic plaza]

lol regardless of state, nation and borders everyone can relate to the dread of organic and inorganic chem

[grim trench]

I still have those nightmares about my middle school lmao

[sacred beacon]

he literally slapped the shit out of 80% of the class in our mid terms

not just like a normal slap

but such a hard one ur face gonna bang across the wall

dont know how hes not fired yet

[grim trench]

ayooooo I've had a similar case before

[sacred beacon]

I would file up a complaint but recommendations

ugh

[acoustic plaza]

my teacher doesnt hit, he throws dusters/chalks/pens

[grim trench]

but that was because I was whistling after turning in my test

[sacred beacon]

oh dude our teacher is the opposite

[acoustic plaza]

with remarkable accuracy

[sacred beacon]

our chem teacher is

yeah

I hate him af

[grim trench]

lmao

[sacred beacon]

I think he has a personal vendetta against me particularly

ever since he found out i am applying internationally

[grim trench]

ayo same here

[bronze spire]

Why lol

[sacred beacon]

like dude slapped kids once for not doing the homework but I got slapped 3 times for MISSING 1 PAGE OUT OF 15

[sacred beacon]

LIKE NO WAY ON EARTH THAT AINT BIASED

[grim trench]

All of my teachers become like blank people as soon as they know I am leaving the country

[bronze spire]

Also how tf do you intl kids speak such good english

[sacred beacon]

istg if it weren’t for letters of recs and uni apps. I would report his ass asap

[acoustic plaza]

we were colonized by britain

[grim trench]

bruh u asked him for recs????

[bronze spire]

Ohhh i forgot abt that

L britain

[grim trench]

cuz we're ASIAN

ASIAN POWERRRR

[sacred beacon]

the important question is, why don’t the kids in India speak english like us. Its the medium of instruction for all our subjects bruh

[vague ice]

english is just the universal language tbh

[sacred beacon]

not him, but he is my class teacher and unis gonna email him and shit, plus he keeps in touch with all other teachers who did send recs

[grim trench]

dude I gotta add you on Discord, ur such a dope person

[sacred beacon]

like 20% of my class can speak it fleuntly

[vague ice]

he really is

vijit goated

[fast isle]

its pretty unlikely that they email him

[sacred beacon]

the rest can’t even communicate in it

[grim trench]

Country bwoi gang let's gooooo

[sacred beacon]

LIKE HOW? HOMIE YOU ARE LITERALLY STUDYING IN THAT LANGUAGE

[fast isle]

unless I dont understand something about intl admissions

although perhaps better safe than sorry anyways

[vague ice]

meanwhile 20% of my school can speak a language that isn't english

:D

[sacred beacon]

he also had to give me predicted grades

[grim trench]

damn

[fast isle]

well, is that done and dusted now?

[sacred beacon]

:D ty

yeah but that was done and dusted just as school was ending

no point now

plus not worth the trouble

[acoustic plaza]

lol the worst part is if you go from one state to next language changes, so english is imp cuz if you come from himachal to Kerala, unless you know malayalam you gotta know english

[sacred beacon]

what made it weirder was me being headboy and not a reg. student

hb hating school

[grim trench]

bro if u ever come to Maryland, Delaware or DC ima give u the best hospitality u ever had in ur life

[sacred beacon]

principal suddenly gonna hate me too

or whatever

its complicated

I hate his guts thougha

all other teachers were dope tho ngl

[sacred beacon]

lol yeah

I dont even speak himachali btw

[sacred beacon]

why so haha

[grim trench]

cuz u mofo deserves it

[sacred beacon]

dude

when he slapped me 3 times that day

[vague ice]

vijit just gives good vibes

can't lie

[acoustic plaza]

lol a kid came out in my school and school sent him to counselling

[sacred beacon]

while hitting other kids 1 time

I literally

had to remind myself

[grim trench]

bro literally reminds me of my middle school life

[sacred beacon]

that this is a school

keep your hands to yourself

CUZ I ALMOST LEPT OUT

TO BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA HIM

[grim trench]

lmao

[sacred beacon]

like I got pissed as fuck

at his biaseness

[grim trench]

bro genuinely I feel you

[sacred beacon]

the rational side of my mind was fighting with the side wanting justice

One day I had to submit a practical file, and I had essays and stuff due in a few days so i rushed the file and just did the minimum work needed instead of writing beautifully and decorating it and shit

and dude said the dialouge: “I dont care how successful in life you become or which university you get into. As long as you don’t give me the work in an appropriate manner you wont get my respect”

Im just sitting there, thinking in my head like, “What makes you think I give a singular fuck about your respect?”

inflated egos istg

[grim trench]

damn

[sacred beacon]

you know the irony?

[grim trench]

yee

[sacred beacon]

he expects me to be among the grade 12 toppers

[grim trench]

i totally feel you

[sacred beacon]

(after my chem exam I probs wont be but still)

[grim trench]

I got 1300 kids in my grade when I was back in Middle School

[sacred beacon]

I think he thinks I got it easy cuz “I got rich parents so i can get into any university without effort”

[grim trench]

I need to be in the top 100s to not get beaten

[sacred beacon]

thats their stupid mindset, that I infer from their convos

like….

look at the number of rejections I have had

and then judge

lol

I mean its partly true, I can get into US easier than some due to my financial situation - but that don’t mean I aint putting the effort. Its not like Im just targetting ASU or something easy 💀

[vague ice]

what's a topper

[sacred beacon]

rank 1

or top few ranks

aight imma go and study physics now

bye

[grim trench]

bye take good care

[teal sail]

heyy guys when is your harvard slate last updated on

mine stays the same time I activated my slate account but for some other school my slate gets updated like everyday

is it the harvard way or am i coping

[static obsidian]

haven’t checked slate

[quasi bobcat]

why does slate only show some of the schools that i applied to

[vivid verge]

bc not all schools use it

[earnest cloud]

Day 14 no harvard likely

What’s slatr

Slat

Slate

[wild shore]

i already got my decision but it doesn’t say decided lol

[bronze spire]

U applied rea?

[vital hill]

slate shows none of mine 💀

idk why

[grim trench]

So yes what is slate...?

[fringe badge]

its kinda useless, shows u status of ur apps

[sacred beacon]

ever wondered why all ur college checklists look similar? They run on a platform slate. And slate has its own nifty little webpage which shows some data for places where you applied (places that use slate)

[wild shore]

yeees🐱

[fringe badge]

but doesn't update until like a few days before decisions (if at all)

and u can't see ur decisions

just that they've made a decisiosn lol

[sacred beacon]

it only shows if the app is recieved, or decided and stuff tho

nothing else

[fringe badge]

which they make for everyone

[sacred beacon]

kinda pointless imo

[fringe badge]

^

[sacred beacon]

I haven’t even made an account yet

too much effort just to know “oh golly my fate is decided”

ur gonna find it out on the same day regardless of when its decided

[wild shore]

i think it’s nice

but it doesn’t work for harvard ig

[grim trench]

so how do we check it?

nvm Im in that website rn

So what does "Complete" mean in Slate?

[static obsidian]

Yeah fr at this point if my decision was made I’d just feel hopeless

[grim trench]

so if a decision is made it would only be in the column of "decided" right?

[static obsidian]

I believe so

But also ppl are seeing their ED acceptances be marked as incomplete

So you can’t fully trust slate either

[grim trench]

K good good

Lmao

My vandy application is still back in "in progress"

[teal sail]

i agree slate is not that straightforward but they do have the last updated on thing which is more helpful cuz for the schools that update everyday at least I know I’m still in the running

or its possible i misunderstand what it means like it might be update for the whole pool and not just my app specifically

[sinful geyser]

where can i check this

[vague ice]

lol probably

the last updated giving me too much hopium

[kind elk]

are you guys doing slate astrology

[teal sail]

lol i literally morph into portal witch astrologer and everything for this bruh cant wait for it to be over 💀

[vague ice]

lmfao maybe

[vague ice]

I tried and it doesn't work very well

nah

[midnight girder]

this indicates im no longer in the running for yale and harvard

checks out

[vague ice]

i don't even think some colleges update right lol

some that i've gotten decisions from are still on awaiting or completed

[midnight girder]

also upenn

[teal sail]

same 💀

[midnight girder]

and pomona

goddammit

amherst's updating

swarthmore isn't

[teal sail]

yeee

[midnight girder]

williams is 😍

[vague ice]

wtf

[midnight girder]

im certain it means nothing

how are y'all making this correlation

that update = in the running ??

[teal sail]

nah im just speculating

[midnight girder]

fake news

[teal sail]

cuz my counsellor used it too

[vague ice]

nah update isn’t accurate

[teal sail]

like way back in january she’s like why is your caltech status decided

[midnight girder]

i REFUSE to believe im not in the running for swarthmore 😤

[teal sail]

i think there are schools that wont update their slate

[vague ice]

this def cap cuz i gotta be rejected somewhere

[midnight girder]

for what it's worth, it says my upenn, vanderbilt, pomona, and bowdoin apps are still in progress

[vague ice]

all have been updated in the past like day or two

[midnight girder]

i call bs

nah this means it's not cap

[static obsidian]

It’s not always accurate

So I wouldn’t trust it

[midnight girder]

if it's not the same for everyone

[vague ice]

when was ur Harvard and Yale last updated

[static obsidian]

Just let decisions come back

[midnight girder]

there has to be a pattern

[teal sail]

bruh thats such a good sign (?)

[midnight girder]

3rd march

no 2nd

[vague ice]

for what

[teal sail]

mine was last updated on when I activated my account

[midnight girder]

still not used to reading dates the american way

[vague ice]

and what time specific

[midnight girder]

harvard and yale and penn

[vague ice]

all 3 the same??

[midnight girder]

1:30 PM ET

[teal sail]

i think its that way for everyone like your first last updated is when you had your account

[vague ice]

ok wait mines diff

mines like 7 am bro what

[midnight girder]

i think it's when i made my account

[teal sail]

bc my yale harvard all that is the same time

*are

[vague ice]

one was at 4 am so no

this isn’t accurate lmao no way

[midnight girder]

2nd march?

or is it a different date

[vague ice]

one was second one isn’t

this is just cope lol

[midnight girder]

hmm not sure how reliable this is

[vague ice]

My yale one is that day as well

[minor locust]

yea this makes 0 sense yall

[vague ice]

not reliable at all

[vague ice]

Not at all

[midnight girder]

i mean im expecting a yale rejection anyway

but i REFUSE TO BELIEVE swarthmore's rejected me

according to slate updates ive been rejected from almost everywhere

but williams and amherst

[vague ice]

what are ur other dates

[midnight girder]

amherst is cap i think ive been rejected

[vague ice]

bro ur reading into this too much

lmfao

[midnight girder]

5th march

[vague ice]

how do you know this 🤨 it only says decided or awaiting or complete

[grim trench]

register an account on slate.org and then have funnnn

[vague ice]

looking at last updated times 💀

[midnight girder]

um we're speculating based off of update times lol

[teal sail]

no no i think there are some schools that would update on slate some won’t so that’s why it could be you’re being considered but you cant tell from slate

[sinful geyser]

oh ok 👀

thanks lol

[grim trench]

how do you check the last updated time...?

[kind elk]

What am I witnessing here

[midnight girder]

as long as williams is considering me im good 💞

[grim trench]

Mine is at today and I thought it's only me refreshing

[vague ice]

it says it

[humble stirrup]

no portal astrology please

[midnight girder]

which school is this

[vague ice]

uh ok so lets take williams for instance, they just updated saying today at 4am my application is complete

[midnight girder]

this is slate astrology

[vague ice]

bro can we not do this

this is just cope

[midnight girder]

don't think anyone here is taking this seriously

[humble stirrup]

last updated is likely just system updates, we’ve got less than a month left

[midnight girder]

fun and games

[kind elk]

portal astrology is against the rules 💀

[vague ice]

it does sound like cope lmao i dont get how u guys are inferring fromthis

[humble stirrup]

yeah I think we should drop it

let’s move on

[kind elk]

I’m not really a prefrosh

I didn’t commit

[vague ice]

bro is waiting till april 30th at 11:59

[haughty stone]

Slate says mine is completed or decided or smthing

I didn't check recently

[kind elk]

Lmao

[midnight girder]

why are my vandy pomona penn and bowdoin apps in progress

[static obsidian]

Yeah I mean me too lmao

[grim trench]

yes same right here for vandy

[vague ice]

pomona and bowdoin goofy for that fr

[simple burrow]

guys i thought portal astrology illegal

[vague ice]

still says that on my portal

[static obsidian]

mods can’t be everywhere

[kind elk]

It is but since they didn’t select me for GOTR, nobody will know

[simple burrow]

hehehahaha

[midnight girder]

what does it say on your portal

[vague ice]

i love how im not even applying to harvard

[simple burrow]

colgate said my app is complete which is worse than in progress ngl

[midnight girder]

my bowdoin portal says my app is complete

[static obsidian]

oh vibes

I don’t know how to feel about Harvard

[midnight girder]

oh right your slate portal

[grim trench]

almost all of my colleges say completed

[static obsidian]

I feel like I might have written my best app for it but my grades are so cope

[humble stirrup]

guys pls

[vague ice]

take slate updates with the tiniest of salt grains

[humble stirrup]

no portal astrology

it means nothing

[midnight girder]

i think complete means your app is complete i.e. not awaiting any materials

who found slate lol

astrologists are getting creative

[vague ice]

i found it by accident, i was googling who designed college portals and bingo

[kind elk]

Schools use slate im pretty sure
