[main orchid]

💀

[worn charm]

what the actual fuck

......

OH its fake

LOOOL had me until i read the acceptances

[thorn niche]

you believed it until the ACCEPTANCES lmao

[winter smelt]

yes

Berkeley is so pretty

[worn charm]

i skipped over it i didnt read it all 😭

[jaunty bronze]

What happened?

[winter smelt]

I'm a senior

haven't graduated yet

[kind elk]

looks like it would be too hot for me though

[blazing trellis]

go bears !

lol

[winter smelt]

bro it's like 50 today

[blazing trellis]

Fahrenheit?

thats pretty cold

[winter smelt]

apparently this is quite bad weather

so I'm told anyway

it's fine blue skies are a nice change from boston

[jaunty bronze]

ooh yes

[kind elk]

😍

[kind elk]

ye, but usually it’s like 70 degrees

I like my hoodies okay

[sinful geyser]

Bro that’s the dining hall where both my tour guides told me the food was shit

.

Most useless tour ever ong

[kind elk]

not sure how to respond to this

[sinful geyser]

Lmao

[kind elk]

The food was pretty good when I ate there

🤷‍♂️

[sinful geyser]

Nah I believe u

It’s not like im applying on ivies based on the food quality 💀

[kind elk]

Yeah, true

[jaunty bronze]

Annenberg

[waxen nest]

Which ivy has the best food

[blazing trellis]

brown maybe ?

[neon sail]

i hear yale

[dusky palm]

Cornell

[sinful geyser]

yale food slaps

best cafeteria i've ever been to

[neon sail]

i saw some duke dining tiktoks that look rly good too

[waxen nest]

Do you have to pay for food?😭

[short haven]

I think all freshmen are required to but a meal plan?

[kind elk]

found the Duke simp

[kind elk]

You buy a meal plan

so yes

[neon sail]

no it’s actually good i swear 😭😭

[shadow ravine]

Do you guys know how the weather is like year-round at Harvard? I hope it isn’t bipolar like UK weather -_-

[deft magnet]

When you said annenberg I immediately thought usc

[kind elk]

Cold for 7-8 months, cool/fine for 1-2 months, hot during the summer

there are days will be it’ll randomly be a little warmer in the winter time though

like it’ll be 55 degrees F one day and then 34 the next

but that’s uncommon

usually it’s just always cold in the winter

[tired kayak]

I can attest, it’s cold rn and it’s literally spring

[median jolt]

Imagine UK weather on steroids

hotter summers colder winters

but less bipolar - there is definitely heavy rain, but it isn't as often and is generally more predictable

[shadow ravine]

Istf today the weather was: sun, clouds, rain, heavy rain and repeat

[shadow ravine]

That sounds positively terrifying

[median jolt]

steroids but also anti-bipolar medication

i personally much prefer it

[shadow ravine]

This year the weather got to 40 degrees

[median jolt]

I mean the average high in the summer is like 30c

[shadow ravine]

yeah i get sick all the time because of the bipolar weather

[median jolt]

most years the highest gets close to 100 / 37-38c

[shadow ravine]

UK weather this year was on steroids and bipolar enhancers this year istg

[shadow ravine]

Ohh thats not too bad

[median jolt]

and then the coldest will be -10 or colder

[shadow ravine]

As long as weather is constant and I can wear furry clothes at most times, I’m happy

[median jolt]

ex:

february this year

[shadow ravine]

Eek

[median jolt]

obviously not Cambridge, MA but close enough

[shadow ravine]

Do you go Harvard?

[median jolt]

Yale

Why else would I be in New Haven haha

[shadow ravine]

Sorry I don’t know where anything is

I only applied to Harvard and Stanford

[median jolt]

damn bro is all or nothing

im guessing u have UCAS backups tho

Oxbridge or...?

[shadow ravine]

Haha yes

[shadow ravine]

No I didn’t want to go there.

I don’t want to leave London if I stay in Uk

[median jolt]

i mean it's very intense

[shadow ravine]

UK is such a boring country

[median jolt]

bro is like "I don't wanna leave home except to go 3000/5000mi away"

[shadow ravine]

Pretty much

[median jolt]

hahahaha ur gonna have so much fun in Stanford if u get in

shit is suburbia

Harvard is slightly more interesting

[shadow ravine]

I just want a change tbh

[median jolt]

valid

[shadow ravine]

Change in your environment can bring forth new thought processes, or so I told my interviewer

Well done for getting into Yale btw

[remote smelt]

bro can’t get into any private unis and wants to get into harvard😂😂 (bro is me)

[languid ingot]

real real

[regal plinth]

same bro

[queen zinc]

fucj life

i got rejected NU i’m not getting into harvard i hate life

[languid ingot]

didnt you get into usc

[queen zinc]

yes ea

[languid ingot]

(:

[queen zinc]

but i need my validation again

it’s been too long

[shadow ravine]

Talk to chatgpt fr

You’ll get sm validation

[remote smelt]

i feel the same way but like i believe i u

[vague ice]

pain i rlly hope harvard takes me

idk if it's possible if NU didn't tho

but washu did so

idk

[kind elk]

NU = northeastern?

that’s a fake school

[wild shore]

more like midwestern

[dusky palm]

northwestern

[kind elk]

Oh

[dusky palm]

NEU is northeastern

[kind elk]

uh then idk

I like northwestern

cool school

[fast isle]

bruh

why does northeastern get bullied so much

[vague ice]

got rejected NU and Wled at NEU

:(

[fast isle]

I feel bad for anyone who goes there

[kind elk]

NEU acts like a wannabe t20 school

[fast isle]

how much can u blame them for that tho

[kind elk]

plus I heard their decisions release was horrible

[fast isle]

Ok

yeah

but that's just the admissions office

[kind elk]

idk much about neu tbh

I’ve only heard negative things

I know they have that CO-OP program but other than that idk

[fast isle]

I wont lie

I dont know much either

but I think most people who throw tons of shade at it

know just about as much

[kind elk]

Wait, did you rea to harvard?

[fast isle]

And I feel like it aint right to attack the whole school for the admittedly wonky admissions process

even t50 overall means its objectively quite good

[vague ice]

no

my results are so mixed rn

WL from NEU & AU, Accepted WashU & UMich, rejected NU

🤔

[kind elk]

🤷‍♂️

It’s Harvard so you never know

^ this could be a good thing or bad

[fast isle]

Im so dead

for harvaard

like

so dead

[kind elk]

Hmm yeah, tbh I don’t really care about NEU as a school because I didn’t apply. The whole fake school thing was just a joke lol. If someone’s going to neu and they’re happy then I’m happy.

[stuck charm]

WL NEU Accepted Purdue CS Reject washu and nu

[vague ice]

are u in NU

cuz if u are ???

how are u dead

[fast isle]

i mean for harvard

overall

im happy asf

with how its going

but idk

got deferred

my essays were crap

cus they were my first

💀

I am so dead

[stuck charm]

[kind elk]

[fast isle]

Gotcha

[kind elk]

So you’re a fake prefrosh like me?

[fast isle]

Just feel bad for people who are going there who see people throw crap at it all the time

[fast isle]

Yes

[kind elk]

Nice

🤝

[fast isle]

🤝

[remote smelt]

if i don’t get in its because of yield protection🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[vague ice]

My likely letter just got put in the spam folder probably, then accidentally deleted by my email

[fast isle]

man me too

thats unlucky for us

[plain pulsar]

truee

[fast isle]

do u actually have 38 acceptances bro

[static obsidian]

if you apply enough safeties

[jaunty bronze]

ooh, why?

[deft magnet]

Cause annenberg school and annenberg hall

[jaunty bronze]

[plain pulsar]

yes

[vague ice]

Oh my he got even more than me

How many schools did you apply to

[keen goblet]

Guys

There's a store near me that sells official Harvard merch

Do i buy or not?

[rough root]

Don't buy

[keen goblet]

I thought I would buy it and then burn it if i got rejected 💀

But i didn't buy

[lofty patio]

death

[queen zinc]

given up on harvard

[trim meteor]

harvard gotta be the most random one

[mossy flume]

[static obsidian]

This daily likely thing pains me but im not a wimp we doing it till the end 😤😤😤😤😤😤

[crimson briar]

🤨🤨

[rough root]

What

[crimson briar]

respectfully u alr got into stanford and most people who are accepted don't even get a likely 😭 no need to count the days

[vague ice]

They need to come to terms with the fact that they're never receiving a likely

[flint sleet]

getting a harvard likely is insane

literally means harvard thinks ur too good for them

[wild shore]

wait r u rlly harvy 27 😳

[kind elk]

[crimson briar]

yea

[wild shore]

ur not on the 27 server ?

do u want the link

[crimson briar]

[wild shore]

lmao it’s ok 😭 the server is pretty dead but i’ll dm you it

[crimson briar]

i prob follow u on insta tho

if u have one

[kind elk]

Congrats

[kind elk]

The community hub one is better imo

[vague ice]

You got into harvard and MIT?

Absolutely amazing congrats

[wild shore]

[crimson briar]

[crimson briar]

i'm in that one but they're slow at verifying me 💔

[kind elk]

[crimson briar]

if anyone wants to connect on ig dm me :)

[kind elk]

What are you looking to major in?

[crimson briar]

history of art, architecture track! might switch to psychology or something else we will see

[jaunty bronze]

its not random for me

no interview

reject

[stuck charm]

[queen zinc]

same we rejects

[amber pawn]

I haven't gotten an single interview from the schools I applied to. I wonder if it's because of my area or if I was automatically rejected 💀

[queen zinc]

which area you from?

[amber pawn]

A small port town

My community mainly consists of retired ppl or snowbirds

[twilit bay]

You got interview

?

[jaunty bronze]

literally the second msg

[twilit bay]

Oh sorry 😂

[jaunty bronze]

nwnw

[queen zinc]

could be avail basis

for us applicants it’s avail basis

so don’t worry

[amber pawn]

Hopefully

If not it's okay, I have resigned myself to not being able to leave my state

[earnest cloud]

do you think i actually care about getting a likely

or expect it

im mainly doing it as a joke

if it bothers people ill stop tho

[shadow ravine]

Nah keep doing it

[earnest cloud]

lets make a poll reply with a thumbs up to this message or a thumbs down if i shud keep doing it or not doing it

[worldly hornet]

@earnest cloud did u not get a likely?

[earnest cloud]

no lmfao

no one gets one

[worldly hornet]

obv

its only to a specific type of admit

[earnest cloud]

yea

[shadow ravine]

Really?

Who?

[earnest cloud]

the joke started as me being "salty" that harvard didn't accept me because i was "auto admit"

it was a troll

shitpost at its core

[worldly hornet]

u know bro

[shadow ravine]

I dont…

Athletes?

[worldly hornet]

no

[earnest cloud]

💀

[shadow ravine]

White rich ppl?

[worldly hornet]

i mean yeah but thats obvious

[earnest cloud]

lets not

[worldly hornet]

nah

elites dont get likelies

[shadow ravine]

Ummm overzealous applicant kids who did way too much?

[worldly hornet]

no

[shadow ravine]

Legacies?

[worldly hornet]

no

[earnest cloud]

lets not continue the guessing game

if we want to stay in the server 👍

[shadow ravine]

Yes please

[worldly hornet]

🤣

[shadow ravine]

Wait

[earnest cloud]

yes

[worldly hornet]

The truth of college admissions

[earnest cloud]

squarey

what u think they are referring to

they are reffering to

💀

[shadow ravine]

Minority, first gen?

👀

[stuck charm]

prolly athletes

[crimson briar]

mostly athletes and students from an underrepresented background
harvard gives out very few to students that aren't that^^ while schools like columbia might give out more

[earnest cloud]

guys pls reply to this poll 🥺

[crimson briar]

like it's fine if u do lmao i thought u were being fr and stressing over it tho

💀

[static obsidian]

Seems like the response is largely positive

4 neutral votes 4 continues 1 no

[turbid quartz]

Anyone know when on the 30th Harvard comes out? Columbia said 7PM, hoping Harvard isn't that late lmao

[bronze spire]

All ivies same time

[turbid quartz]

zamn okay

bouta have one hell of a dinner table conversation

[kind elk]

You didn’t commit to Harvard yet? @crimson briar

[crimson briar]

no i haven't

i'm like 70% sure tho

[kind elk]

oh okay

[crimson briar]

bc i live rly close

[kind elk]

what’s the 30%

if you don’t mind me asking

[crimson briar]

i'm waiting on yale and stanny

[kind elk]

gotcha

gl!

[crimson briar]

thxx

[earnest cloud]

Stanny 😍

[earnest cloud]

Ws

Onwards then

[queen zinc]

IM HARFVARD GUYS

[remote orbit]

how can you have 0.5 of an acceptance

[crimson briar]

likely letter

[remote orbit]

oo who from?

[crimson briar]

columbia

[kind elk]

[remote orbit]

👀 good job

[crimson briar]

[turbid quartz]

Ooo congrats!

[plain pulsar]

Harvard will accept me

[wild shore]

in ice spice we trust

[plain pulsar]

TRUE

[wild shore]

zamn would you pick columbia over harv?

[crimson briar]

my situations kinda hard to explain
im looking to pursue a music major on the side (double major programs) in college so i kinda have to open up to diff options for that

and columbia has a rly nice program so it all depends on that factor

[wild shore]

ah that’s great! i love columbia but i love boston more 🦭

[crimson briar]

cambridge is soo nice

ive lived in MA all my life so im biased but lowkey best state

[turbid quartz]

Columbia won't let me double major in comp sci and poli sci :(

Only downside tbh

[vague ice]

Same😭😭😭😭

I was like "this man. . ."

[crimson briar]

LMAO i thought it was fr

😭

wanted to give them a chill pill

[earnest cloud]

lmfao

im delusional

just not

that delusional

😄

[deft magnet]

Harvard is nice

but they ain’t admitting me

[crimson briar]

jfk's shitty harvard essay ❤️

[deft magnet]

bro if this was the standard we’re auto admits (if ur white and rich)

[plain pulsar]

i should’ve changed my last name to Kennedy then claim i’m a legacy

Auto admit

[deft magnet]

anyone got some random admitted students day link like someone did for northwestern, odds are it won’t work but i just love messing around

[crimson briar]

u mean a link for the Visitas?

[kind elk]

There’s an admitted students website if that’s what you meant:

https://college.harvard.edu/admitted-students-login

[earnest cloud]

ooh interesting

[kind elk]

Doesn’t work until after acceptance and decision though I’m pretty sure

but rea ppl who got in can login

just basic stuff and upcoming events

They made a typo on the admitted students visitas page lol

[earnest cloud]

Stanford has something similar but its more discussion oriented

Ita a forum

[crimson briar]

my friends who are going to Quaker day Bulldog day and Jumbo day are making fun of how our admit event is called VISITAS 😔

[kind elk]

What the hell is jumbo day lmao

[fast isle]

tufts...?

idk

probably tufts no

[kind elk]

If I get into yale I will go to bulldog days and steal any bulldogs I see and destroy their campus /s

[fast isle]

It appears to be so

[broken sun]

better name than CPW (campus preview weekend)

[kind elk]

💀

mit cool asf tho so we let it slide

[broken sun]

tru

[crimson briar]

stanfords is called Admit Weekend

how creative!

[kind elk]

idk, I like the name visitas kinda

[nimble wraith]

tufts 😌 🐘

[runic sleet]

it’s a play on Veritas I assume?

[kind elk]

Yes

[crimson briar]

💀💀😭😭

dumbo > jumbo

(don't worry guys im his bestie so i can be toxic to him)

[kind elk]

You don’t need to be a bestie to make fun of the school that will live under Harvard and MIT’s shadow /s

dumbo > jumbo @nimble wraith

[crimson briar]

LMFAO

[nimble wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/nick-wilde-zootopia-funny-confident-gif-5852873

[toxic shoal]

😭

the /s

lmao

[dense flume]

If harvard accepts me ill return the chair i stole from the yard

For legal reasons this is a joke

[kind elk]

they can buy you and 200 of those chairs bro

[bronze spire]

Why only 200?

[kind elk]

because they need to use the rest of the money on their new buildings

and buying all the land that exists in Cambridge

[dense flume]

Idk man back when I took it they were emailing students to stop stealing them

[kind elk]

fake

[bronze spire]

W harvard

[kind elk]

Reporting this to Harvard AOs rn

😈

[bronze spire]

@kind elk ur gonna see the one kid to ever get into harvard from my hs on campus next year

[kind elk]

You?

[dense flume]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-pikachu-pokemon-shocked-gif-16985133

[bronze spire]

No 🥲

[kind elk]

Maybe I’ll see 2

[wild shore]

cpw is the worst name oml💀

i cant go bc it’s the same time as jshs nats

but i’m going to sin liMITe

[broken sun]

atleast you get to go to an event

id be annoyed if i couldnt make it to cpw

[queen zinc]

what does Cpw stand for

[balmy osprey]

my harvard interviewer asked for my college list

and i gave it like a dumbass btw

need to say this now so i can blame them if rejected 🤭

[kind elk]

CPW = Campus Preview Weekend, a weekend for rising MIT freshmen to learn more about MIT and its campus

https://admitted.mit.edu/experience

[queen zinc]

is it like visitas b ut for

mit?

[queen zinc]

no

firstly theyre not supposed to askf or it as a part of the interview

so if they do its simply out of pure interest

[kind elk]

Exactly

[queen zinc]

they shoulkdnt be discussing it on their letter sent back

and in no world should harvard have expectations that you ONLY apply to their school

it would be a worse sign if your list only included harvard and a few schools

the interviewer was probably more interested in actually understanding what kinda schools you like etc to maybe understand whether harvard is your kinda school or if youre just applying for prestige

[fast isle]

Lol

I had an answer premade for that question

[kind elk]

^ same, but my interviewer never asked about it

[fast isle]

Yeah me too

none ever asked me

[fast isle]

I had plans for any bullshit

they could toss at me

and then I only got 3 interviews

Like bruh

[kind elk]

LOL same but 2

My Harvard interviewer straight up just told me at the beginning that he didn’t have any questions to ask me 💀

so we just talked for an hour about random stuff, it was fun

[fast isle]

this was my stanford interviewer lol

[queen zinc]

i got 2 but i’m intl lol

[remote crane]

I got 1

it was Harvard

[queen zinc]

i meant to reply to this one

[keen goblet]

I got no interviews 😔

[crimson briar]

bro that was me for yale but it was so awk bc the guy was introverted/shy and we only talked for 15-20 mins

and a good 1/3 of it was me asking HIM questions

https://youtu.be/dQSjWI1i-5c

here's the video from when u get in^^

[earnest cloud]

Hmmmm day 35 no harvard likely (this is a shitpost)

[jaunty bronze]

TIL Harvard also has a video

smh

[static obsidian]

All the schools have a video

[wild shore]

it has drums and my buddy started playing a muppets song to celebrate getting in and it was kinda chaotic lmao

[deft magnet]

The fact that you have to specify that you aren’t serious

Guys I’m an ivy auto reject

[earnest cloud]

Wait is tbe acceptance letter a gif or what

[crimson briar]

LMAo

@wild shore when ru gonna arrive at visitas?

[wild shore]

yea it’s people dancin around at the top lol

[wild shore]

my flight arrives around 8am, hbu?

OH WAIT U can drive lol i forgot

if you’re coming from the south direction you should pick me up 🦭

[crimson briar]

haha i'm like a tiny bit west of cambridge 😔 i haven't completed the registration forms yet oops but i'm thinking of just putting some random time in the morning of the 23rd

and i could prob go home at night and come back the next day 😅

it sounds like it'll be fun tho!!

[red raven]

Any idea why I might have gotten an interview while no one else from my school did?

[bronze spire]

Random

[crimson briar]

yea it's prob random^

not sure abt H but for most schools it's like that

mit is the only selective school ive been accepted to

[ionic ginkgo]

jhu is trash

idk how did they assessed admissions this year

[broken sun]

stonybrook humbled me by rejecting me from CS

then i got into mit a week later

[ionic ginkgo]

rejected all good applicants and accepted majority of idiots

[broken sun]

they rejected me to but i wasnt suprised

[vague ice]

Uchicago kinda hurt me a bit since they waitlisted me after deferral, and that was my first actual reach decision + my top choice

[broken sun]

did you get a cornell likely? asking cuz username

[ionic ginkgo]

accepted by mit and rejected by stony brook

wtf how this shit

[vague ice]

Yeah

[ionic ginkgo]

works

[vague ice]

That's why I'm over it atp😭

[keen goblet]

Yield protection

[broken sun]

thats what im saying

[fast isle]

I see how it is bro

[vague ice]

Uchicago took someone who didn't even want to go from my school

[keen goblet]

May the gods bless me for ivy day

[broken sun]

except it was only cs and i could still go for non engineering majors

so hella wierd

[vague ice]

Like they were like "eh, I don't want to"

[keen goblet]

If i don't get into ucb or harvard I'm burning the A2C reddit into the ground

[broken sun]

i also got waitlisted by binghampton last week

[ionic ginkgo]

maybe i could be accepted by jhu if i go to african studies instead of cs💀💀

[vague ice]

Your MIT W outshines all

Didn't you get a full ride too

[ionic ginkgo]

but they dont consider by major sooo

[blazing trellis]

lol there is this music vid, idk if everyone has already seen it, but it is worth watching with 4 days left to ivy day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkwoBbkSh7k

[broken sun]

yeah

yeah i got a full ride

[keen goblet]

It's unavailable

[blazing trellis]

it is literally about getting rejected everyhwere and then getting an acceptance letter

[keen goblet]

💀

[broken sun]

the only time being poor is a positive

[ionic ginkgo]

someone in a2c sent indian music and said to listen it during opening decisions

[keen goblet]

💀

[vague ice]

The best aid I've gotten thus far was from northwestern, its like 12k for me

[blazing trellis]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkwoBbkSh7k wait now ?

[glossy quartz]

Praying that y’all realize Princeton is better 🙏

[keen goblet]

Yea thanks

[vague ice]

Washu said I have to pay 19k so it was kinda disputable immediately

Princeton better let me in though

[broken sun]

whats efc?

[vague ice]

I'd have to pay like 5k

15k iirc

[keen goblet]

L+Ratio+didn't apply there+so it prolly sucks

[glossy quartz]

It’s in New Jersey it’s awesome

[broken sun]

then those arent bad FA offers at all

[keen goblet]

New Jersey is the dark underbelly of new york

[glossy quartz]

Take that back

[vague ice]

Yeah they're def considerable

Especially compared to the trash state schools offers

Most of them was 30k+

[broken sun]

yeah state schools suck with aid 90% of the time

[bronze spire]

Richael

[broken sun]

you got so many acceptances from great schools your app prolly crazy tho

[ionic ginkgo]

i hope 1500 is enough for harvard and cornell

[broken sun]

you could def get into some of the other ivies

[vague ice]

Yeah😭 my counselor said it was just unique
I'll make a r/collegeresults post

[keen goblet]

🙏 i hope my sat score and ecs carry me

[broken sun]

plus W overly dedicated pfp

[keen goblet]

My grades are not amazing but definitely good

[vague ice]

Let's go ooooooo kendrick stan ?

[ionic ginkgo]

what is your sat?

[broken sun]

1510 was enough for mit so aslong as youre within the range it wont hurt

[broken sun]

yessir

[keen goblet]

1570

[ionic ginkgo]

okg

okg

omg

its definitely enough

[keen goblet]

It's enough but

[broken sun]

im gonna make a post after ivy day and have my only acceptances prolly be CUNY+MIT+umass amherst (cant afford tho)

[keen goblet]

I still got rejected from UCLA,UCSB, and Gtech. So my confidence is in the gutter rn

I also got no interviews

[ionic ginkgo]

maybe we have to put sportcars in pfp to get into harvard

[keen goblet]

Also I'm intl

So that's problematic too

[ionic ginkgo]

L schools

their loss…

[keen goblet]

💀 i hope that's true

[broken sun]

thats prob the reason for no interviews so dw about that

[vague ice]

Yuppp, I'm mainly doing one because I haven't seen anyone into meteorology do one ever

It'd be nice to have data of

[keen goblet]

Hope so

[broken sun]

asking for aid?

[keen goblet]

No aid

[trim meteor]

they’ll call it cap and i’ll be there to defend u

[ionic ginkgo]

u will pay by yourself then?

[short haven]

You're good

[keen goblet]

?

[keen goblet]

Parents

[ionic ginkgo]

yeah i meant this

[short haven]

I mean dw you'll have a better shot than most if u don't want aid

[ionic ginkgo]

well, Harvard is need blind tho

[short haven]

Wait this is Harvard

[broken sun]

i made a chance me post in early jan so they know i wont be lying about stats and stuff but well see what people think of my decisions lmao

[short haven]

Ew I don't like Harvard

[ionic ginkgo]

L

[broken sun]

yeah than dw youre chances arent being hurt

[keen goblet]

💀 thanks

[ionic ginkgo]

💀💀💀

[broken sun]

best part about harvard is MIT class cross registration /s

[short haven]

Fr

[broken sun]

no interviews are generally distributed randomly if there are interviewers in your area

dw about it

[vague ice]

My friend last year got into Harvard and yale with no interviews

[bronze spire]

No

[vague ice]

You'll be good

[broken sun]

always have hope

[keen goblet]

True

[broken sun]

i got into mit after rejecting my interview because of too much anxiety. only interview i had was harvard

also rejected 2 yale interviewers, dartmouth and upenn. wasnt offered any others

[bronze spire]

U rejected 2 yale interviews?

Were they both alumni interviews?

[broken sun]

well i actually scheduled one, interviewer didnt show up cuz she forgot

she tried to reschedule and i didnt respond

and a 2nd interviewer reached out which i rejected

[bronze spire]

Ohh

[vague ice]

They gotta admit you for compensation

[broken sun]

fully thought my interview rejection would make make me an auto reject at all these schools but somehow was accepted into my top one after being deferred

[vague ice]

How does an interviewer forget😭

[broken sun]

idek bro

[vague ice]

Crazy

[broken sun]

i told my stats teacher, who went to yale, and she thought it was kinda funny but just said "shes a busy woman"

[vague ice]

My interviewer was some 70 year old lady who was a lawyer i think

[blazing trellis]

my alum interviewer was a 50yr old guy in management consulting, my AO interviewer tho served in the clinton administration and seemed 65 yr old

[broken sun]

the yale interviewer who forgot had like an important position at time magazine or something

[static obsidian]

I didn’t get interviewed ;-; only for Princeton, rly

[broken sun]

my harvard interviewer didnt even go to harvard for undergrad so that was kinda weird. she went uc berkeley then havard business

[static obsidian]

huh

[broken sun]

yeah

harvard was the only one i went too

i opted out of a princeton interview on the application

[broken sun]

interviews i was offered are up here

[static obsidian]

wow do you think rejecting interview will work against you

[broken sun]

its generally does i think

[static obsidian]

Honestly fair to make that choice tho

I’d be fairly confident that if any ivy took me Princeton would

IF that interview hadn’t been so bad

I mentioned I was interested in research

And she asked “what research have you done”

I said “oh I’ve done research in my classes” - described history papers that I wrote, bio labs I’ve done

She said “but have you done any in a lab or something like that?”

I said “no bc COVID 💀”

[broken sun]

they expected you to have done research in hs is kinda wild

i told my harvard interviewer i was interested in doing research in AI and was interested in the AI safety team at harvard so she couldnt really spin it back on me like that

but then she started asking me about how ai is changing schooling and what should be done about it

[static obsidian]

yeah I linked it back to Princeton in a bit, described my interest in the senior thesis etc

[vague ice]

My research was completely independent and only because I was super intrigued at the time, HS research should never be expected😭😭

I had to explain my stuff to my MIT interviewer though

[static obsidian]

idk another thing that happened was I mentioned a political internship I just landed, and she didn’t want to talk about it cuz politics controversial

we eventually landed on vibing about writing, so it didn’t end in the worst way

[turbid cypress]

That’s so dumb that’s the worst kind of person lol

[static obsidian]

but she also. ugh I asked some qs about how alumni got involved at Princeton and she said “we’re not”

[vague ice]

Ew

[turbid cypress]

Cause what are you gonna talk about if not something that is contentious

[vague ice]

L interviewer

[broken sun]

i dont think its that bad lmao

[static obsidian]

I asked a q about what she liked about her time at Princeton and she was like “it was 50+yrs ago I don’t remember”

[broken sun]

just skirt around the actual political opinions is the correct thing to do

[broken sun]

why is she even interviewing then

[static obsidian]

I have no clue 💀 idk I chalked it up to it being her fault (or at least not entirely my fault) and maybe she’ll write a nice letter but not a great one and that’ll have to be okay

[broken sun]

that should be ok

it doesnt matter as much as people act like it does

[static obsidian]

This is super cool though! Do you wanna describe a bit for us

[static obsidian]

Ty I hope so

[broken sun]

as long as the interviewer doesnt think youre a terrible unlikable person its unlikely to have that much of an affect on your app

[static obsidian]

esp at Princeton I feel like

I got sent my interview request maybe 5 days after submitting my application

[vague ice]

Ok so basically, I created an algorithm designed to estimate the intensity of a hurricane based on satellite appearance

I worked on it for about 2 years, but development kinda slowed as data became more sparse

[static obsidian]

Oh wowwwwww

That’s very very cool

[vague ice]

Yeah it's really fun to actually do, and I felt like I could actually turn it into something later down the road, unlike my past research

When I gain coding knowledge

[broken sun]

oh wow thats awesome

[broken sun]

past research

man has done everything

no wonder hes getting accepted everywhere

[vague ice]

😭😭😭 I'm just glad to have found my niche

[haughty stone]

I want clam chowder

[vague ice]

This would've never happened if covid didn't happen

[static obsidian]

yeah I bet

[static obsidian]

I’m same same

[vague ice]

Yeah, like I'd probably be a premed with no actual interest in medicine

That's where it was going at first

[static obsidian]

COVID helped me find my niche in medicine

I love epidemiology but I wasn’t sure where I’d go from there

[broken sun]

covid messed me up lmao

glad you guys didnt experience the same thing

[static obsidian]

This is the other hand for me😭 not in terms of goals, COVID gave me. In some ways it gave me my life back

But my grades tanked in sophomore fall

3.0 that term

it drags my entire GPA down maybe by .2 points

[broken sun]

my school uses 100 point uw avg only

[static obsidian]

I can’t say what kind of system my school uses, I think that’s doxxing territory

but it doesn’t use 4 point scale or 100 point scale

We grade in letters and each letter is worth a certain number of points

[broken sun]

first semester of freshman year i had 97.5, second was just letter grades, after that never had a higher avg than 95ish

[static obsidian]

Well it got you into MIT so

[broken sun]

i think the thing that made me a defer to accept honestly because the rest of my app is mid. was on my 1st semseter grades i got a 100 on physics c and a 98 on multivariable calc

but i had an 85 in english

my stem grades are all miles higher than everything else

[vague ice]

Perhaps that added

Maybe they also saw something in your app that you presently don't see as well

I mean, to be admitted after deferral😭😭

[broken sun]

so far only mit has seen it seems but ill 100% be taking that

[wild shore]

no 🙏 praying you get better

[static obsidian]

THATS CRAZY

[queen zinc]

YO

[turbid cypress]

What happened

[queen zinc]

nothing i just had a good day

[crimson briar]

[queen zinc]

MY BLICKYYY

[tired nest]

Wait define mid

Did you have like a <25th percentile score or something?

For standardized testing

[broken sun]

1510 sat, at the 25th percentile

95.5 gpa prolly around the 25th percentile

ecs are also nothing too special

no crazy award or participation in high level academic competitions

[kind elk]

still pretty decent stats

and essays were prob good

other stuff too helped minimally perhaps but not gonna mention

[broken sun]

never founded any clubs, but co captain of wrestling and robotics and had my own "business" reselling sneakers and computers i built

[broken sun]

?

[kind elk]

like fgli

[broken sun]

yet but clearly below avg for mit

[broken sun]

thats something i guess but thats like the only thing i have, not a minority or anything else i dont think that made my app

[kind elk]

I feel like if your essays are good and you have a good personality, schools are willing to overlook your stats a little

[broken sun]

my original essay was bad but i sent an updated one that was really good maybe the improvement in writing quality between the 2 helped

[kind elk]

Did you do MOSTEC?

[broken sun]

nope

[kind elk]

WISE?

[broken sun]

nah no special programs at all

[kind elk]

gotcha

well congrats anyway

sounds like you deserve it

maybe I’ll run into you in the fall sometime

[broken sun]

Thank you

thatd be cool

[tired nest]

Twins

Also FGLI

No crazy awards or competitions either

Well maybe one from Harvard

[bronze spire]

Me 3 😰

Not the Harvard thing tho

[tired nest]

But yeah my stats were kinda mid

No crazy ec

[broken sun]

you got into cmu?

thats already a W

[bronze spire]

My stats were very mid but decent ecs

[broken sun]

i got rejected ed2

[bronze spire]

Good thing

U got into MIT instead

[broken sun]

yup

[tired nest]

yeah

[tired nest]

I would've traded a CMU acceptance for that of MIT

but yeah I'm grateful for what I've accomplished

[tired nest]

wait are you Chinese?

[broken sun]

no

jewish

[tired nest]

W

[broken sun]

W?

[tired nest]

Win

FGLI Ws

[broken sun]

ah

i meant what is the W

[tired nest]

I was just trying to be slangish

[broken sun]

i know what W means

lmao

[tired nest]

🥲

we all going to T5 STEM schools

that was the reason behind that abrupt W lolol

[broken sun]

got it

W

fgli Ws

I hope all the fgli make it where they want to make it to

[bronze spire]

Im not got to a t5 stem 😔

[trim meteor]

bc is still rlly good

[bronze spire]

Yea and its a pretty good school for finance so im definitely not complaining

[tired nest]

yeah only two out of 35ish students from my school, which is literally half an hour away from BC, got in

[bronze spire]

Before this year i thought i would be going to a 80% acceptance rate college 😭

[tired nest]

BC is an amazing institution

[bronze spire]

Aye im like an hour from bc

[tired nest]

SAME 💀

[bronze spire]

I live in western mass

[tired nest]

I live in the Boston suburbs

but I seriously thought I would be going to Umass

[bronze spire]

Same umass or like western new england for me lmao

[broken sun]

umass amherst still a W for CS

[tired nest]

I'm pursuing an engineering degree and Umass would've still been a win

but my parents had much higher expectations for me

🥲

[bronze spire]

Yea i got in and was considering it

[tired nest]

but yeah at least I'm not disappointing them now

[bronze spire]

But too many kids from my hs go there and j cant repeat the last four years lmao

[tired nest]

SAME

[broken sun]

i got in but couldnt afford it even with 16k scholarship

[tired nest]

like 75 out of the 120 that applied committed there last year

[bronze spire]

Everyones like “yea ill just see u next year at umass” and it physically hurts me

[bronze spire]

Ur oos right?

[broken sun]

its my only acceptance besides MIT adn 3 CUNYs

yeah

[tired nest]

16k scholarship is crazy

[bronze spire]

I didnt apply to any state schools oos bc i knew the aid wouldnt be ebough

[tired nest]

I'm in-state and I only got 2k

[bronze spire]

Yea umass gave ne 6k

[tired nest]

with the same stats

I got net 8k

[bronze spire]

Mine were slightly worse 😭

I dont think ive gotten my package yet

[supple pollen]

hi guys!

what's the topic of conversation rn

[tired nest]

Wait I think the scholarships are also partly based on needs

[broken sun]

they give more to oos to convince them to go because other wise its too expensive for most oos students to consider it

[tired nest]

FGLI Ws and now scholarships

specifically at Umass lol

[supple pollen]

sick!

[broken sun]

even with the scholarship and max federal pell grant plus their 1.5k grant COA was 30k a year

[supple pollen]

damn that's a lot

[tired nest]

yeah it would've been 32k for me

[supple pollen]

Amherst?

[tired nest]

yep

[broken sun]

32k instate?

damn

[tired nest]

in-state tuition - MCAS scholarship and Chancellor's scholarship would still have been $32k/year for me

[broken sun]

damn

[supple pollen]

I know someone paying 85k a year for college 😭

well their parents but still it's nuts

[broken sun]

damn

i mean they got the money more power to them

[bronze spire]

Wtff

At that point why even go to college

[ebon saddle]

?

what

[tired nest]

My parent's would have to pay 80k a year if I want to attend CMU

[ebon saddle]

I’d have to pay full price at any college too but I’m not rich enough to just not go

[tired nest]

yeah

the middle class struggle

[ebon saddle]

fr

[supple pollen]

what's like the EFC to pay full cost?

I'll probably have to pay full price at schools with the CSS and get good aid at schools with only the FAFSA

[ebon saddle]

fafsa says my efc is like 120k

[supple pollen]

that's a lot

[bronze spire]

Wtfff

No but like if u can pay 85k a year for college ur parents gotta be making bank

[ebon saddle]

I mean relative to living cost not really

[bronze spire]

Well i mean ig it depends

[runic sleet]

mine is ~$100,000, that means ~$25,000/year right?

[bronze spire]

Like can they pay 85k easily

[ebon saddle]

nope

85k ‘easily’ is crazy

[bronze spire]

Yea so then ig thats different

But theres people who can pay 85k without issues which is insane

[static obsidian]

^^^

honestly, 85k in disposable income period is insane to me

aaah idk money complicated

[stuck charm]

no efc is per year

[runic sleet]

there’s no fucking way 😳

[dusky palm]

Wtf found the millionaire
