Harvard. The reasons that I have for wishing to go to Harvard are several. I fe (2022-2023)

[willow zealot]

but i mean people will figure out somehow right

yeah

im brown im ranked lower than the asians

[sonic mango]

Hopefully I’m uNiQue enough

[shadow ravine]

Yeah ive always wondered where us browns fit into all of this. Do we count as Asian?

[willow zealot]

not to the americans

but technically we are

[sonic mango]

Nah, just Indians. Ur all alone in this one ballpit

Well they probably just consider the Indian subcontinent as one

[quasi bobcat]

someone called me a stereotypical brown applicant the other day and that threw me for a loop

[sonic mango]

What even is a stereotypical brown applicant smh

[shadow ravine]

Frrr

[quasi bobcat]

BRO I DON'T KNOW I THOUGHT I WAS BREAKING STEREOTYPES

[willow zealot]

dude my girlfriend studies at like a rich school and everyone including her counselor's telling her she's an auto admit and I'm like really proud and happy for her but i can't help but feel a bit dejected and imposter syndromey

like i got rejected from fucking bu and vandy

[shadow ravine]

Tbh you never know

[quasi bobcat]

something bigger coming manifest

[bronze spire]

Just become a trophy husband ‼️‼️

[willow zealot]

I'll die inside

[shadow ravine]

i thought id get into UCL buT CLearLy nOt

[woeful yacht]

bro how many of y’all brown applicants 😭

[bronze spire]

Why would u die inside while living the dream

[willow zealot]

I'm glad i didn't apply ucb tho i can just say i could've gotten in easily and save face

[sonic mango]

Harvard will let you in I know it!! We are gonna be part of their 5 brown people acceptances!!

[willow zealot]

oh you'd be surprised

[willow zealot]

here's to hoping!!

[sonic mango]

Took me a second to realize you weren’t talking about the uni

[weary holly]

me

Ig I'm the only guy who's praying for a rejection

[sonic mango]

Harvard wants me, but the real question is, have you not broken down today?

[glad python]

the question is did Harvard hate my four page additional essay or did they love it

[kind elk]

Most of you are not getting in

[glad python]

Ahahaha...

[sonic mango]

I enjoy being part of the minority 😍

[queen quiver]

🤝

[bronze spire]

Yea most of you guys arent getting in, i am tho

[sonic mango]

Auto admit 🥹

[sonic mango]

Join the line!

[autumn harbor]

Built different

[quasi bobcat]

STOP HARVARD POSTED A REACTION VIDEO KILL ME

[vague ice]

this dude

i’m gonna be sad for baby me

[willow zealot]

what

[wild shore]

bro💀

[kind elk]

I’m simply lowering their expectations so when they do get in they can feel good about proving me wrong

[queen quiver]

ok gyys

the Harvard legacy in my grade worth $20 billion wasn't interviewed

so

I'm not going to take it as a sign

[thorn niche]

probably cuz they didn't need more info

they saw that legacy status and big donation and were like auto admit

[queen quiver]

hmm true

he was rejected Princeton REA tho

it was really funny because when i asked him he was like "it's such a shame. interviews are such a strong point for me"

and I'm just thinking "no bruh ur last name is"

[mellow pewter]

ily Harvard

[sinful geyser]

20 billion.

👀

what.

[turbid cypress]

To be fair

[queen quiver]

all I'll say is that you have probably heard of his last name

[turbid cypress]

Being worth $20 billion doesn’t entitle you to Princeton acceptance

[autumn harbor]

Imagine he doesn't get in

[queen quiver]

Well either his family didn't dump money or the money dump strat didn't work

I mean he's a decently qualified guy but not HYPSM tier, I could see him at a georgetown or something (pure merit wise)

[turbid cypress]

Makes enough sense

[thorn niche]

those 20b bump him up to HYPSM status lmao

[turbid cypress]

Princeton disagreed 💀💀

But also like ao’s look for positive social impact

And being rich as hell doesn’t exactly check that box

[thorn niche]

Yeah but also if he's Harv legacy they probably wouldn't risk accepting him and then him going to Harv instead

idk

anyway I wish I were worth 20b

[queen quiver]

He's a very nice guy. I don't know his ECs in depth but it's certainly possible he's done something impactful (but obvs pure speculation)

[sonic mango]

I’m glad my dad is a Harvard grad, legacy might carry me 😁

[kind elk]

ew legacy noob /s

[sonic mango]

He said he really enjoyed the Harvard edX courses

[kind elk]

lmao

[sonic mango]

That counts as legacy… right?…right?

[thorn niche]

my dad took a picture at harvard once am I a legacy?

[sonic mango]

YOU ARE OHMYGOD CONGRATS

I thought about Harvard once I’m basically the son of the dean

[autumn harbor]

My dog's previous owner attended Harvard. Is that legacy?

[sonic mango]

It does, however, you will be enrolled into Harvard identifying as a dog

[thorn niche]

as long as I get in catch me barking or whatever

[sonic mango]

Fr

[kind elk]

I am related to John Harvard

(no joke)

[willow zealot]

i'm so down bad i'm wiling to go catgirl for a month if i get in

who am i even kidding we know we're not gonna get in
but here's to holding on to the tiniest sliver of hope

imma go get some sleep good luck to all of us

[wild shore]

i love tom hanks

[bitter token]

oh lol, I thought the commencement speech was for incoming freshmen

[thorn niche]

ME

[kind elk]

Oh?

I thought it was for graduating ppl, lemme check

Yeah, commencement is for graduation ppl lol

[bitter token]

ok, but why did they choose tom hanks? He didn't graduate from Harvard. Usually, they choose alums.

[runic sleet]

Because he’s Tom Hanks.

[kind elk]

Idk lol

[wild shore]

tom hanks stands for everything that is good

[foggy schooner]

Sadly I have to go to sleep and miss it. Good luck everyone!!!! U all worked hard for this.

[gaunt quartz]

!harvard

[bitter token]

i know, but usually, the purpose of the commencement speech is to encourage new grads to do great things, by showing the graduating class a person who also graduated from their university and went on to do great things.

[wild shore]

i mean i think ppl at harvard know they’re capable of being successful so it’s pretty common to have celebs for big schools bc why not

[bitter token]

indeed, and historically it's been ppl who graduated from Harvard like Michelle Obama and Natalie portman

[deft magnet]

realistically i got no shot here

[trail crown]

less than 3 hours

[worn charm]

[hexed dock]

harvard slate at decided just now dang

its happening...

[barren surge]

the only reason why i'd go to harvard is to say i'm elle woods

[queen zinc]

COME VC

[wild shore]

damn ! even for me it didn’t say decided lol

[barren surge]

i'm just guessing they're loading decisions and it's changing to decided

[quasi bobcat]

does anyone's say decided?

[hexed dock]

yeah im pretty sure mine changed like 10-15 mins ago

[quasi bobcat]

OH GOD IT'S ON DECIDED

THIS IS SO SCARY

[dense mirage]

[autumn harbor]

I think we all do

[dense mirage]

Wtf was I thinking when I applied

[vague ice]

Lmao I'm literally sitting in on a random AP gov after school tutoring session😭

[vague ice]

I don't even take the class, thats how stressed this got me

[unique cliff]

Hi not my top choice but I don’t mind Harvard

[fast isle]

[hexed dock]

I don't mind Harvard either

[shadow ravine]

Where does it say decided for you guys?

[blazing trellis]

i dont mind harvard, here's to hoping harvard doesnt mind accepting me

[unique cliff]

What are y’all’s top choices

[blazing trellis]

whoever lets me in

[fast isle]

Stanford

[analog lodge]

Hi sorry, at what time are the decisions being released?

[olive locust]

7 EST

[analog lodge]

Oh okay, ty ;)

[earnest cloud]

Im scared

[remote orbit]

statistically people who apply to ivy leagues - regardless of whether or not they get in - tend to do well in life, whatever happens you'll all do great dw dw

[blazing trellis]

umm what are these statistics? i heard of this person that applied to ivies and ended up at this place called fartmouth or darmouth or smth

[craggy thunder]

[keen saddle]

OPLKQMEASEEE HARVARD OKLRSaeEASEEEE😭😭🙏🙏🙏

[glad python]

[dense mirage]

[fast isle]

Also yeah ivy league applicants are already an elite group

[unique cliff]

Wait rly?

There’s no requirements to apply other than forking like 70 bucks

[main orchid]

1-2 i think is possible, more than 2 i would be shocked

[autumn harbor]

I'd say that's also true for the vast majority of A2C, relative to the rest of the country

[nocturne grotto]

Slept in my Harvard shirt last night, got that Harvard energy fr fr 💪💪💪

[main orchid]

sure but i think most people who apply tend to be qualified, most people who think they have 0 chance of getting in wouldn't bother applying to multiple top schools

[remote orbit]

Think about how few people even apply to college (~66% of american students), how many of those apply to highly selective schools knowing all the work and essays and grades it takes to have a chance - the fact you applied means you believe you have a chance, meaning you likely already have what it takes to be successful yk

I know in the UK only like <2% of students apply to Oxford or Cambridge

[lethal harness]

tbf thats bc oxford & cambridge have insane prereqs

& the number of schools you can apply in UK is limited to 5 so shotgunning is decreased

[lethal harness]

but this is true

[nocturne grotto]

Did Harvard email anyone here about decisions releasing today? My friend told me they did.

[main orchid]

no

[shadow ravine]

Nope

[foggy sage]

H

[vague ice]

nope

[shadow ravine]

Are you from the UK??

[remote orbit]

I am

[shadow ravine]

Omggg finally someone from here who is applying 😭😭

[main orchid]

good luck to the british homies

or english? which do you prefer

[shadow ravine]

British is good lol.

[remote orbit]

unfortunately being british is only a negative in the application tho lmao - too many british applicants + international? obscene

[shadow ravine]

Tyyy tho

[shadow ravine]

Word.. not to mention I’m British Indian… the worst combo

[remote orbit]

double homicide

[shadow ravine]

Did you get an interview?

[dreamy harness]

Anyone else from Colombia, South America here?

[remote orbit]

no, you?

[shadow ravine]

Same… i was worried as it said on the website that most British students get an interview

[thorn niche]

mee but not colombia

[lethal harness]

good luck tho

i'm probably heading to the uk for uni

[remote orbit]

[shadow ravine]

you gotten into any UK unis yet?

i'll be going to kcl so idk how much time i'll have to be out in the countryside, but it is extremely beautiful

[autumn harbor]

Woah. What were the grade reqs for A levels?

[median jolt]

lol chad

[remote orbit]

thankyou v much lol but unfortunately my heart is in america and Im probably not going to get in lmao

[lethal harness]

at least if harvard falls thru, you have other great options

[shadow ravine]

That’s not true… if you got into Oxford, you’ll probably get into most American unis

[remote orbit]

I met the minimum offer of A*AA for geology/Earth Sciences - I didn't think that would be enough but I guess they liked my interview?

[lethal harness]

if you can get into oxford you stand a really good chance for us schools

[remote orbit]

aha.. I got rejected from 13 last year so maybe not...

[shadow ravine]

Dw im sure it’ll be different this time

[lethal harness]

this year will be your year

[shadow ravine]

Your personal statement must’ve also been amazing

[lethal harness]

how have this year's decisions been so far?

[lethal harness]

fr

[alpine isle]

some would say they have been polarizing

[remote orbit]

no but to be fair - this stands for everyone - if you dont see the results you want this year, a gap year can really be an amazing chance to reach your full potential (and have a nice rest)

[shadow ravine]

Ground breaking

[shadow ravine]

I don’t think my parents would let me do that

[median jolt]

i got rejected from oxford and am a full ride at yale, and have friends at oxford who did not get into many us unis

they look for different things

[shadow ravine]

Where have you applied in the US?

[median jolt]

like comparing apples and oranges

[shadow ravine]

Fairs ig

[lethal harness]

also true i have a friend who's gotten into oxford twice and is getting torn up by us unis rn

[amber forge]

berkeley, columbia, georgetown, george washington, and northwestern are going to be SO shocked when i show them my harvard acceptance letter

[shadow ravine]

Your friend must be a British gigachad

[lethal harness]

my brother got into one US school & is currently at oxford so it all depends on the AOs

[median jolt]

bro why twice???? just go once u get in why do u care about the us that much

[remote orbit]

how many decisions is everyone waiting for today?

[median jolt]

nah tbf getting into oxford for a lot of subjects isn't that difficult

Btw (if i get in) KCL is my top UK choice atm, so I might see you there Natalie

[median jolt]

kcl kinda mid fr

[shadow ravine]

London is mid fr

[remote orbit]

if you end up in london, go to this japanese restaurant called Nala oml it's so good

[median jolt]

i love my colleges like a parking garage

[median jolt]

tbf east asian food in london isn't greattttt

there's a lot better examples of south asian food than there are east asian

[shadow ravine]

LMAOO

[median jolt]

im pretty sure they teach ppe here too

strand, right?

[remote orbit]

let me and my limited british palate rest

[median jolt]

fun fact: i had my yale interview here

[shadow ravine]

Imo South Asian food in London isn’t too great

[fast isle]

Yes

[median jolt]

you're not looking in the right place tbh

[shadow ravine]

No im just south Asian

Oh my god I fucking got in

[supple palm]

I’m not gonna get in, I did not have a chance to an interview and I don’t know anybody who got in without an interview

[timid whale]

After being deferred

[blazing trellis]

[thorn niche]

OMG U GOT IN SLAY

[blazing trellis]

i cant believe it !!! fr i pinched myself way too many times to make sure it is real

and I wasnt just hallucinating at 4 30 am in the mornning

[thorn niche]

I'm still in shock too

[kind elk]

[thorn niche]

Impostor syndrome already kicking in

[blazing trellis]

lesgooooooooo

[blazing trellis]

[bronze spire]

i swear i told u that u were gonna get harvard

[blazing trellis]

ayooo you got into upennn yayyyy

[bronze spire]

So berkeley eecs or harvard 🤨

[blazing trellis]

hard choice tbh i got regents now so berkeley became affordable but mostly harvard

[bronze spire]

Yea berkeley eecs is so insane for cs but harvard is also harvard

Downsides of being too cracked

[queen zinc]

UR INTL???

[blazing trellis]

yup

[thick sedge]

How many people does harvard waitlist

is it hard to get off the waitlist?

[midnight girder]

rejected

[kind elk]

Not many people turn down a harvard acceptance so I’d say yes

[kind elk]

They don’t release it nor do they release how many people they waitlist on their CDS

[smoky surge]

rejected

[thick sedge]

aight thanks

[winter smelt]

about time

[winter smelt]

I have a friend that did EECS at Berkeley with regents and then a masters at harvard--his perspective is that money aside Harvard undergrad >>> because of resources and personal attention

[vague ice]

harvard flopped, but that's ok fr ✨

[quiet orchid]

i thought harvard didn't really care abt undergrad and focused more on grad school?

[regal dune]

Anyone know how many people get waitlisted every year

[pearl briar]

at least 2

[kind elk]

Harvard doesn’t officially release this on their CDS so nobody really knows

[winter smelt]

eh I don't think this is really true

[remote orbit]

do people get off princeton waitlist?

[kind elk]

🙄

[blazing trellis]

thank you for making decision a little easier!

[kind elk]

wrong chat but yes

[remote orbit]

princeton chat dead fr

[kind elk]

From Princeton CDS

15% accepted off wl is a lot imo, granted it is a few years old

[foggy schooner]

Did u get an interview?

[blazing trellis]

yh 2

[foggy schooner]

Oh

I got 0 😭

[dense lion]

i cant believe it i got into harvard i literally applied on a whim

congrats to everyone

[foggy schooner]

Did u get an interview?

[dense lion]

[foggy schooner]

Nah, I just woke up in cold sweat. Jumped straight to A2C

Going back to sleep now ha

[kind elk]

Gn!

and good luck

[foggy schooner]

Ty!!!!!!!

[gloomy token]

So if I got waitlisted at Harvard, realistically, what are my chances now?

[kind elk]

Low because not many people turn down Harvard, but nobody has an exact percentage because Harvard doesn’t officially release their waitlist statistics on their CDS

[thorn niche]

Luck I can't find the discord can u help pls :)

[thick sedge]

based on how this thread was going a few hours

is a harvard waitlist super rare or is it like 20%

[kind elk]

DMed you two servers

[kind elk]

Personally, idt it’s super rare but then again we don’t know for sure b/c we have no official info to go off of from Harvard

[wild shore]

@thorn niche @blazing trellis CONGRATS HOLY SHIT

[kind elk]

what in the intl

cracked bros

[thorn niche]

YO CONGRATS @thorn niche

[rare scroll]

Are you going to Yale or Harvard?

[thorn niche]

THANKS @acoustic ledge

[kind elk]

I’m sorry this didn’t become a reality 😔 @vague ice @vague ice @pearl briar

but you guys will still do great things

[pearl briar]

STOPPP 💔 i wasn’t sad before but that made me sad!

[vague ice]

im chillin

[kind elk]

Yeah, we’ve come a long way

[vague ice]

Aw I remember this it was so sweet 😭

[barren shell]

[trim meteor]

[foggy schooner]

Did you get in?

[thorn niche]

yeah

[foggy schooner]

Omgggg congrats!! Did u get an interview?

[thorn niche]

I did!

and thanks :)

[foggy schooner]

I didn’t. And I haven’t yet opened my decision. I want to probe people wrong XD

prove

[thorn niche]

lmaoo are you waiting for someone to open it with?

[foggy schooner]

It would be funny

[foggy schooner]

Yea.

And it came at 2 am

[thorn niche]

oof

where u from?

[foggy schooner]

It was the worst night ever

Russia

I woke up at 4, and my hands automatically grabbed my phone to check A2C

HA

[kind elk]

No interview for intl is usually a rejection 😭

Prove us wrong bro

[foggy schooner]

My friend gor waitlisted

[kind elk]

oh word

[foggy schooner]

With no interview

[kind elk]

win for us then

[thorn niche]

omg I gotta email my interviewer tmw

[kind elk]

yes!

[foggy schooner]

I want to find some correlation. Did you apply test opt?

[kind elk]

I did it immediately after acceptance lol

[thorn niche]

I did not

[foggy schooner]

Oh

It makes sense now

Everyone who I know who applied with SAT

Got one

Weird

[thorn niche]

well I doubt SAT = interview

[foggy schooner]

Same

[thorn niche]

it's more ppl with higher sat scores may have stronger apps in general

but idk

no one knows how it truly works

[foggy schooner]

Lets see😄

In 2 hours

[thorn niche]

best of luck!

[foggy schooner]

Thanks! I truly believe in this.

being a princeton apologist and harvard hater

[thorn niche]

capy is princeton's new yield ambassador

[shrewd token]

Y’all should go back to Princeton channel

Otherwise Harvard gonna flood urs later

😝🤫

[kind elk]

You sure about this?

[kind elk]

Your pton people coming to us 🙄

that’s how socially AWKWARD you guys are

[turbid cypress]

ITS FROM A HARVARD 27 KID

FROM THE SOURCE

[kind elk]

Lemme talk to them

[neon sail]

does anyone have the harvard 27 discord and can send

[wild shore]

yep!

[wild shore]

it’s me. the server is dead as fuck 💀

[kind elk]

LOL

yeah ngl the h27 one is dead

community hub is a little more active

[humble stirrup]

first love/late spring

harvard was my first love (college wise) but I’m glad I got columbia, seems to be a lot better of a fit for me :)

congrats everyone here, wish u the best of luck at harvard!

[neon mural]

did you get into havrard and mit?!?1

[kind elk]

Thank you, Calypso. I know you’ll do great things at Columbia. Good luck! :p

I told you it would all work out in the end

[humble stirrup]

it did ❤️

hard work pays off

[final turtle]

gonna fight tooth and nail to get off this waitlist

(people might disappear)

[thorn niche]

[foggy schooner]

Alright, you were right

[thorn niche]

Dang I didn’t wanna be :(

[trim meteor]

SAME

[wild shore]

yessum :}

[tropic portal]

omg lets goo congrats everyone !!

[foggy schooner]

Yep. Sadge

Whatever

You guys deserve it much more than I do anyway

[balmy flume]

Congratulations to everyone who got in today, good job! 🥳

[kind elk]

@willow zealot

Did you get in?

[mossy flume]

it’s so over

[kind elk]

it’s fine fuyu

It’s not over

[mossy flume]

luck should I apply rea next year or transfer

[willow zealot]

no i didn't and i'm lowkey glad

[mossy flume]

I think I have a better chance rea idfk

[willow zealot]

fuyu what happened

[kind elk]

What are you gonna do? Take a gap year?

[mossy flume]

rejected all the ivies !

[willow zealot]

oh same

[mossy flume]

I could :p

[willow zealot]

if stanny or duke pulls through i'll go catgirl for two months

[mossy flume]

more scholarships plus I’m not 18 yet so idk maybe it’s a good thing ?

[kind elk]

probably not the response you want to hear fuyu, but I think you need to just suck it up. Harvard’s transfer acceptance rate is <1%. You could definitely try REA again next year but if that doesn’t work then you’ve wasted a year of your life.

[mossy flume]

ok girlie

[kind elk]

What are your options rn

If you don’t mind sharing

[mossy flume]

uvm, commit to Oxford even tho it’s past the deadline I’m p sure, brandeis, northwestern waitlist, or wait on a miracle in my appeal

[willow zealot]

where'd u appeal

[kind elk]

Are any of these affordable?

[mossy flume]

not rly I didn’t get my uvm package yet tho

[mossy flume]

[willow zealot]

i thought harvard didn't allow appeals?

[mossy flume]

apparently it’s REALLY rare but u can email

I tried a usc appeal as well

[willow zealot]

can i just email quirky shit

have u seen my email template

this

[kind elk]

lol

[willow zealot]

should i actually send this since chances are shit anyways

[kind elk]

can you somehow get more aid?

[willow zealot]

and hope it doesn't affect postgrad decisions in any way

[kind elk]

They prob won’t even read it but go ahead

[willow zealot]

i mean that's somehow even better

[kind elk]

It might lol but I doubt they’re gonna remember

[mossy flume]

this is so real

[mossy flume]

idfk anymore

[willow zealot]

i'll just do my postgrad from mit or stanny or smth then

[kind elk]

love the confidence

where was it for ug?

[willow zealot]

now i got nothing to lose so idc anymore

@mossy flume which id do we email it to

[kind elk]

You could take a gap year in this case for financial purposes

or maybe commit to a college and then take a gap year/defer your admission

[mossy flume]

i feel like thats so lame 💀

maybe

sorry luck

[kind elk]

It’s better than your original idea of taking a gap year on the whim that you get harvard rea 😭

[kind elk]

It’s okay

I’m sorry

[willow zealot]

fuyu fuyu

how will u appeal the harvard decision

[arctic sinew]

I gotta disappoint my interviewer by telling him I didn’t get in

[humble stirrup]

so true

[next current]

i applied with act and got an interview

[foggy schooner]

Act/sat whatever.

It doesn’t meter

Now I know that interview actually does meter for int

Well, I did my best. Still happy with what I have.

[kind elk]

Another reason why Harvard is the goat

[kind elk]

Wait, did you get in?

[wild shore]

right?? mit says their bracket for no tuition is a lot higher but their aid still sucks in comparison

[torn plover]

LMFAO I didn’t apply I just saw it on the Insta and wanted to share with the thread bc it’s good news!!!

[serene lion]

hell yea

they better expand financial aid!!!

[nimble willow]

This is awesome!! I think Columbia is doing something similar!!

[sonic oyster]

Doesn’t Princeton not charge tuition up to like 150k annual income or something?

[median jolt]

I was talking to a very important Yale person about this, they aren't planning on raising the threshold, instead just fixing aid for middle income families which is an odd choice

the main reasons being raising the threshold doesn't actually impact people that much

[kind elk]

No, lol, that’s way too high

oh shit nvm

$160k

[sonic oyster]

Oh, my interviewer told me that. She kept talking about how generous Princeton is.

[thorn niche]

I think families up to 100k don't pay anything

[kind elk]

up to 65k pay nothing

up to $160k typically don’t pay tuition

that’s hella money tho

pton rich rich

I should’ve applied to pton 😭😭😭

[thorn niche]

I think they bumped it up recently?

[turbid quartz]

The only person that got into Harvard that I know got an 1100 SAT. A little annoying for all my friends who got 1500+

[thorn niche]

they have the highest endowment per student

[thorn niche]

I'm sure that person had amazing everything else

[kind elk]

The person who got into vandy and nyu at my school got a 1220 with mid ECs and decent awards

[thorn niche]

and SAT is just one part of the app

[kind elk]

Their essays prob had to be extremely good

[turbid quartz]

They didn't even submit so yeah

And yes, they're quite incredible

[thorn niche]

yeah I have a friend who like

[kind elk]

That’s insane

[thorn niche]

had a 1200 SAT and went TO and got a columbia likely lol

[kind elk]

Where are they getting all this funding from

And why isn’t Harvard following them

I thought harvard had the largest endowment in the world

[turbid quartz]

They were quite literally on capitol grounds a couple days ago at a rally with our house Rep and a Senator 🙃

[thorn niche]

they do

but per student I think pton's is higher

[kind elk]

hmm

honestly

[thorn niche]

Harv's not even #2 😭

[kind elk]

If pton didn’t have grade deflation and if it wasn’t in nj, I would’ve ea’d

[kind elk]

Explain why yale on #2 and harvard #4 @winter smelt

I know it’s prob just that harvard has way more students but ye

[thorn niche]

it always is

[kind elk]

[thorn niche]

yeah pton 8k and harv 23k lol

[kind elk]

o crap, I didn’t even see the last column

yeah, that make sense then but sheesh

oh well, my harvard aid is already superb

[thorn niche]

they didn't send mine smh I gotta send more docs

[winter smelt]

tuition =/= COA

[winter smelt]

I mean yes

that is how fractions work

[next pendant]

MIT bracket for full ride rather than full tuition is lower

I’m p sure

They have good aid if you’re towards the very bottom of the spectrum where Pell grant kicks in

Because that wipes your student contribution

I think they’re one of the very few if not only school that does this

[next pendant]

Schools w committee based admissions have virtually no way of appealing

[willow zealot]

fair

honestly i just wanted to send that email for closure

[next pendant]

Because like they won’t reconvene the committees for a single applicant

Hence why they have a waitlist process

[wild shore]

yeah idk the specifics about full tuition vs ride but it * sounded* like they were more generous than harvard which i don't think is the case

it's very different person to person, but i know a lott of kids got super bad aid this year

like being asked to pay 1/3 more to even x2 what their efc was

[next pendant]

FAFSA is kind of a “bad” estimate for EFC bc it only considers a limited number of factors

Idt mit is more generous than Harvard, but people typically get “bad” aid every year — it def does depend on your family and ability to pay

[wild shore]

my ea bud was asked to pay 50k with a 120k income 💀

[next pendant]

Assets

[wild shore]

she doesn't have anything out of the ordinary

idk lots of people are fighting w sfs for their lives lmao

i got relatively lucky ig but they still asked for x2 harv, which was 10k

but tbf if any school is worth it, it's mit lol

[next pendant]

I think people tend to underestimate what their family has at least for middle class

[wild shore]

thats true

[next pendant]

Because finances are kept on the opaque side

So everything comes as a shock w FAFSA and stuff

If your parents are SWE, good chance they have big stock amounts

But that’s not something you think of naturally

But yeah it does vary heavily by person and family

[kind elk]

1220 RD admits

if we assume 52k people applied (because that’s how many RD applicants Yale received), we get an acceptance rate of 2.3% for Harvard RD

was tough this year sheesh

Wait, they literally posted it nvm

https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2023/3/31/admissions-decisions-2027/

REA acceptance rate: 7.55%
RD acceptance rate: 2.60%

[thorn niche]

[trim meteor]

waitlist will come thru i believe it

[winter smelt]

yeah that's about par for the course

[final turtle]

Penn was more competitive RD 💅😏

[kind elk]

https://tenor.com/view/mark-phillips-instiagtor-gif-22728638

source?

[bronze spire]

Me

[median jolt]

Harvard used to be like 3-3.5x richer than Yale

There was a time when Yale's endowment was like $1b and Harvard's 3.5b

Then a man called David Swensen was employed by Yale

[kind elk]

bro taking me back to the dinosaur era just to prove that yale got better but is still below harvard

[median jolt]

the difference is a lot less now my guy

you used to have a higher endowment to student ratio than us but look what happened

[wild shore]

https://tenor.com/view/tumbleweed-highway-blue-sky-gif-14068616

look it’s ptons grad school !!

or yale

idk whatever college isn’t harv 😹

[kind elk]

abnon will kill u

don’t say this here

[median jolt]

nahhhh im just explaining how yale got so rich

nowadays most colleges follow similar models to yale

so the advantage is minimal

[kind elk]

oh ight, what happened after they hired the David guy?

[median jolt]

Swensen pioneered an endowment management model called The Yale Model that gave relatively stable annualised returns way higher than basically anywhere else, above the S&P 500 etc etc

[kind elk]

Oh dang

do they still use his model?

[median jolt]

more or less yeah

[kind elk]

dang

that’s actually insane

[median jolt]

(60/40 was the model used by most colleges pre swensen)

it fucking sucks

[kind elk]

Harv should hire me to manage their endowment

I’d put them above pton

🫡

[final turtle]

https://www.crimsoneducation.org/nz/blog/admissions-news/university-of-pennsylvania-acceptance-rate/

😤

[kind elk]

bro is smoking

oh wait

hmm, your rd is lower it seems

15% for ea though lmaoo, that’s like safety school level

[median jolt]

tbf its an estimate

they don't release data

[kind elk]

Yeah, I’m not sure if these numbers are accurate

[turbid cypress]

PRINCETON IS 100K

STILL BETTER

ig, depending on how ur measuring >

if ur talking about > grade inflation for sure

💀

[next pendant]

New Haven is literally all just Yale

At least Harvard has Boston

[merry meadow]

llook at the forbes ranking: https://www.forbes.com/top-colleges/

need i say more 😎

[kind elk]

Yes, grade inflation, opportunities, networking, endowment, job placement rates, 75% of majors (made this number up but we clearly know it’s like 90%), prestige, etc

[next pendant]

Harvard dropped cuz ppl didn’t come back from COVID and they don’t take poor kids as much lmaooo

[merry meadow]

nah most important thing about a college is community

[kind elk]

if you liked yale so much, you would’ve done SCEA instead of rea to harv

📸

[kind elk]

tbh though lol, I think the arguing is actually pointless and ik it’s just for fun

yale is actually a (surprisingly) mid good school and congrats on getting in

[vague ice]

You are not holding back after ivy day wow

[kind elk]

😳

in my abnon era now

[vague ice]

I'm scared

[kind elk]

don’t be
