MIT (2022-2023)

[ruby stag]

💀💀💀💀💀

[dusky tide]

nah its more like

for academic

reading above 750

math 800

[verbal idol]

I mean

MIT said themselves they don't really distinguish between a 740 math and a 800 math

[dusky tide]

thats cap lol

[ornate vessel]

thank god 🙏

[dusky tide]

look at the middle 50

it shows

[ruby stag]

wait dm

[covert sentinel]

Im ngl youre like

1. Be an mit recruited athlete (literally impossible nobody on a2c touches grass)
2. Accidentally send coordinates?? (what)
3. This convo rn

This feels fake

But i also dont know and mit def has sports

[verbal idol]

https://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/the-difficulty-with-data/

read this

[dusky tide]

whats wrong with accidentally sending a coordinate?

and whats for you to judge "its fake"

[pine prism]

I think the sat was harder back then?

[trail bone]

It is a matter of correlation lol

you guys are totally misreading it

Top STEM applicants applying into MIT -> the math SAT score for those accepted in for their high achievements is likely to be higher

[verbal idol]

exactly

[trail bone]

that's what the article says @dusky tide

[pine prism]

no way mit is accepting someone with <770 math unless then have a very convincing excuse

[trail bone]

essentially

[covert sentinel]

I dont mean it as seriously fakes its just like

A first

[dusky tide]

for sure

[covert sentinel]

The coordinate is just like ?? How? but also life happens oh well

[tall gate]

Um but there was someone who got into to mit as a recruited athlete, I saw it on reddit once

[pine prism]

yeah it's a thing

[dusky tide]

@covert sentinel im not the average a2c

trust me

[ruby stag]

bro actually sent my pinpoint location

[pine prism]

??

[covert sentinel]

????

[dusky tide]

firsts exist

[covert sentinel]

Youre joking

[covert sentinel]

Clearly, you touch grass LOL

[pine prism]

isn't mit not a good school to try to get recruited from?

[covert sentinel]

You are joking?

[pine prism]

I heard recruits have a 30% admit rate

[dusky tide]

there isnt recruiting really

[ruby stag]

i’m joking

if i wasn’t joking i wouldn’t say i wasn’t joking either

anyway

[covert sentinel]

Cats

[ruby stag]

people get recruited if they are moderately good at a sport, rich, and have strong enough stats

@dusky tide stop

i’m being fr i don’t want you banned

[dusky tide]

if i get banned for sending some random ass coordinate

lol

[ruby stag]

you’re being dumb

[grave river]

uh what were those coordinates, (also cute cat)

[ruby stag]

don’t ask

[dusky tide]

it was an accident

first time

[covert sentinel]

Cat is courtesy of twitter dot com!

Cats@!!

[timber urchin]

Monkeys are better

[ruby stag]

[covert sentinel]

[dusky tide]

https://mitathletics.com/sports/2021/4/20/information-Recruiting-Team-Recruitment-Forms.aspx

[timber urchin]

😭 but monkeys are the best

Much smarter than cats

[verbal idol]

chimpanzees will tear your face off without hesitation

[covert sentinel]

Ok but like??? Cat????

Look at him

Soup filled cat!!!

Do you have a soup filled monkey? I dont think so!

[dusky tide]

stop

this is not serious

[covert sentinel]

Ik, im also not being serious lol

A serious convo arguing abt the merits of cats vs monkeys would be pretty funny but thats not this convo lol

[timber urchin]

A chimpanzee is not a monkey 🤯

Gibbons are the #1 but monkeys come close

[worldly fjord]

SOUP

SOUP MONKET

[steep vine]

mit doesn't recruit

[worldly fjord]

they kinda do

but u can still be rejected as a recruited athlete

Admission rate of athletes recruited by a head varsity MIT coach ~ 25%

[dusky tide]

not really true

its more like 50

but it dpeends

if a coach is long time

it goes higher

[grave river]

since no one here is an athlete idt there's any point in arguing

[ruby stag]

supernova got recruited

[dusky tide]

no

[ruby stag]

😐

[grave river]

congrats @dusky tide?

[dusky tide]

its false

there is no recruitng bruh

[verbal idol]

Why don’t you go recruit some bitches

[worldly fjord]

What IW | AEROASTRO said

[ruby stag]

IW says this as he sits in his basement absolutely bitchless

[worldly fjord]

Cal(tech)ypso brings up good points as well.

[verbal idol]

I am not bitchless I’ll have you know!

[worldly fjord]

How will IW | AEROASTRO rebuttal these claims?

[ruby stag]

what evidence do you present

[worldly fjord]

Evidence is being requested by Cal(tech)ypso!

[ruby stag]

you are:

• on a gap year
• applying to the nerdiest trade school on earth

[worldly fjord]

Cal(tech)ypso fires at IW | AEROASTRO

[verbal idol]

my DNA on your mother's clothing

[worldly fjord]

IW | AEROASTRO admits he has a thing for 60 year old ladies.

[ruby stag]

my mother wouldn’t be caught dead around your degenerate mf

[dusky tide]

what typa mit student gap years

no offesne

if u dont have a startup

or something

[verbal idol]

I am curing my 4th cancer

[ruby stag]

he made a joke application last yr

[dusky tide]

?

joke application?

[verbal idol]

yeah I just submitted like a super rushed app for fun

and got rejected last year

[worldly fjord]

What a brilliant idea! RIP 1 year of your life!

[dusky tide]

so ur getting rejected again

[verbal idol]

that's not why I'm taking a gap year though

lol

[dusky tide]

idk why u would do that

if u actually wanted to go

[ruby stag]

nicest supernova comment

[verbal idol]

ur the degenerate mf! ssp nerd!

[steep vine]

thank god bruh

i was gonna laugh my ass off if u actually took a gap year for mit

[verbal idol]

nah lmfao that'd be insane

I'm not that down bad

[ruby stag]

having more collaborative, genuine research experience and a 33% matriculation rate to MIT with a 50% average admission rate and still pulling beats you calling me out from your mom’s basement

/lh

[steep vine]

the only thing you're pulling is the door to go outside 💀

SSP nerd

[verbal idol]

A 50% acceptance rate that UR not gonna be a part of! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU GOTEEM!

[ruby stag]

i’ve got bitches

[ruby stag]

i already know this

it’s common fact i’m not cracked enough test score wise for mit lol

even with my excuses

but 🤷‍♀️

[worldly fjord]

What is your test score?

[grave river]

hopping back on the chat after 10 minutes and i have no idea where this conversation has gotten to

[ruby stag]

had to try

[ruby stag]

32 act

💀

[worldly fjord]

That is an auto reject

Sorry for ur loss

[ruby stag]

no it isn’t hear me out

[verbal idol]

Also, you do not know my research experience, so you actually cannot make any comparative claims! Checkmate!

[steep vine]

bro is complaining about a 32 act 🗿

be so serious rn bruh

[ruby stag]

this is MIT

[worldly fjord]

You can think of coping mechanisms. But nothing saves your low ACT score.

[ruby stag]

someone got deferred early with a 29 act

💀💀💀💀

i know people who got in with a 1450

[dusky tide]

cuz mit defers everyone

[grave river]

💀

[dusky tide]

mit deferred 70% i think

[ruby stag]

yea

that’s true

[grave river]

tbf they dont shy away from rejecting the rest either

[ruby stag]

i mean like

if you were autoreject

you’d get rejected early

[worldly fjord]

Unfortunately, your sat is a 1420-1440, so you are not at that 1450 mark. Look forward to seeing your rejection!

[ruby stag]

lol

[dusky tide]

if u get rejected EA

u are really bad

like really bad

are u even a human

[worldly fjord]

if u get rejected ea u dumb as shit

[verbal idol]

What's the acceptance rate of moms basement dwellers 🥺

[dusky tide]

fr

[verbal idol]

I need to know

@ruby stag any ideas????

[ruby stag]

i’m top 1% for my area

[grave river]

🔬

[steep vine]

my friend got rejected EA 😭 chill

[ruby stag]

idrc

ik i’m not getting in

[dusky tide]

tell him hes bad

nah im joking

[covert sentinel]

Man what the hell happened to this convo

[dusky tide]

not everyone is mit level

[steep vine]

supernova be kind challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

[covert sentinel]

This is literally all of us

Its gonna be like 4%

Idk

[dusky tide]

5-6

guess

[worldly fjord]

Unfortunately, you are bottom 1% for MIT. Being top 1% in your area of 10 kids does not matter.

[dusky tide]

5.32

[grave river]

i have no idea either but something about someone's mom's basement ig

[verbal idol]

nah I was makin a joke from calypso and mine's banter a couple minutes ago

[covert sentinel]

Ah okok

[ruby stag]

🗿

[covert sentinel]

Good bc im in your moms basement (please let me out but also i love your mom)

[ruby stag]

[worldly fjord]

regionals in what?

[ruby stag]

[ruby stag]

comp math

[verbal idol]

I'm the only one allowed to lay pipe to moms (I already snagged calypsos)

[grave river]

or you could flood your basement with conc acid solution

[worldly fjord]

Can you be a little more specific

what competition

[dusky tide]

bro is saying comp math but got a 32 act math

[ruby stag]

i can’t say without doxxing

[worldly fjord]

Then im going to assume its a low tier competition. That is not a flex.

[covert sentinel]

Buddy you touch grass and are applying to mit

We are all special in our own way!

[dusky tide]

wdym i touch grass

[covert sentinel]

Recruited athlete

[dusky tide]

no

[grave river]

i didnt even apply 😇

[covert sentinel]

Im assuming you go iutside?

[ruby stag]

i attended 2 regional invitationals at a university and got invited to the state invitational this year

[dusky tide]

ngl

[covert sentinel]

Damn what sport then

[ruby stag]

it’s my area’s equivalent of AMC

[dusky tide]

i have really bad allergies in the spring so i dont play anything

[covert sentinel]

Oof

[ruby stag]

my state doesn’t offer AMC or ISEF qualifying fairs

[dusky tide]

its chill

i might start up again

[verbal idol]

autoreject sorrry

[worldly fjord]

What competition is equivalent to the amc

now im just curious

[dusky tide]

CMA

[ruby stag]

i mean it’s kinda different

[covert sentinel]

"Xyz state uktra mega nerd math comp real"

[ruby stag]

there’s a team based and an individual based component

[worldly fjord]

Very descriptive

[covert sentinel]

My brother in christ

[ruby stag]

stop posting random coordinates

[dusky tide]

lmao

[covert sentinel]

Second time at least i think youre not funny

[dusky tide]

why did someone delete that

[worldly fjord]

whats on it

[covert sentinel]

???

[grave river]

someone pls explain what those coordinates are

[dusky tide]

i just typed out random numbers

[ruby stag]

stats/prob, calculus, number theory/set theory, geometry

[dusky tide]

i actually needed that tho

so its good

[covert sentinel]

Youre literally posting coords we dont know the info behind as if theres no way it could be percieved as doxxing

[verbal idol]

supernova try not to fearmonger in the MIT thread challenge (impossible)

[dusky tide]

its random numbers

[covert sentinel]

Youre applying to mit you have braincells, use them!!!!!!

[ruby stag]

dude

@dusky tide you do need to censor yourself

ur gonna get banned

[grave river]

does he?

[worldly fjord]

12345.6789

[ruby stag]

you can’t just drop random coordinates

[dusky tide]

for typing random numbers

[worldly fjord]

0598213510398571209385701238571208375091837501237575772757757757775123

[ruby stag]

yes dumbass someone got banned for posting the mit portal astrology trick

[dusky tide]

thats actually my ip

[ruby stag]

you’re lucky you didn’t go with them

[covert sentinel]

"Officer those are random bodies i dont know why theyre in my basement"

[verbal idol]

portal astrology?????

https://tenor.com/view/dog-sniffing-dog-sniffing-what-da-dog-doin-gif-23282557

[ruby stag]

we’re not gonna talk about this again

don’t ask

[dusky tide]

i think if u look into cookies

[ruby stag]

shut

[covert sentinel]

Wasnt that the actual very bad portal astrology LMAO

[ruby stag]

up

[covert sentinel]

Bro

[ruby stag]

Yes

[covert sentinel]

If mit has shitty security and cant hide decisions

Bad school

[dusky tide]

Who is Deleting my Messages

[verbal idol]

There was a really bad one for yale a couple days ago

[ruby stag]

it wasn’t real

it was some bullshit

but people were playing along with it and fewrmongering

[dusky tide]

wait

can colleges self host slate

[ruby stag]

what

[dusky tide]

what if u social engineered slate company into giving decision

[worldly fjord]

STOP IT

[dusky tide]

yooooooooo

[covert sentinel]

Potential portal astrology truther dont get your fellow applicants rescinded challenge

[ruby stag]

use your connections

to get your mit decision 4 days early

[dusky tide]

i dont think u can get rescinded for doing stuff like that

[grave river]

you can

[ruby stag]

a bunch of harvard kids did

lol

[verbal idol]

for grad school yeah

[worldly fjord]

Whats the point in seeing ur rejection letter 4 days early?

Its still a rejection

[grave river]

and stanford, duke, etc

[grave river]

real

[verbal idol]

A2C try to be patient for literally 4 more days challenge (impossible)

[dusky tide]

maybe like 17 years ago

[covert sentinel]

REAL

Me with udub rn

[dusky tide]

when the web didnt exist

[worldly fjord]

a2c try to have realistic expectations challenge

guys i didnt get a likely to harvard my life is over 🤓 👆

[dusky tide]

I always have realistic expectations

[covert sentinel]

??? 17 years ago the best bet was probably "break into the post office" astrology and i dont think thatd work ngl

[worldly fjord]

Good

[verbal idol]

Prediction: Everyone who talks at least somewhat consistently here is going to be rejected and some NPC with a default profile picture and a white name is going to pop in here saying they got accepted

[dusky tide]

Thanks

[covert sentinel]

Most accurate prediction probably

[ruby stag]

so that’s why this mf went undercover

[dusky tide]

whats a default profile picture?

[ruby stag]

to be the npc who gets in

[worldly fjord]

No. I am going to be the accepted one.

I am Him

[ruby stag]

@dusky tide you’re canonically the npc

[covert sentinel]

Im getting rejected i already know it!!

[dusky tide]

yeah im for sure the most NPC in this server

[grave river]

if you log into mit portal
go to inspect
scroll to the place where the decision update would evetually appear
select inspect element for that region
you can see
if your internet works

[ruby stag]

100%, you bot

[worldly fjord]

mit when your amc score is not above 130

[worldly fjord]

"scroll to the place where the decision update would evetually appear" Huh

[dusky tide]

jit is buggin

[covert sentinel]

So like if you do the thing

[worldly fjord]

What is bro talkin about

Nah this inspect element is not getting yo ass into mit

[covert sentinel]

And you do the thing (you do the thing) and you do the thing then you get the decision (the secret is waiting until march 14 at 6:28pm est)

[dusky tide]

use wireshark

[ruby stag]

if you:

• click the MIT portal at 6:28PM EST 3/14/23
• click view decision

you get your decision

😳

crazy

[grave river]

neither will your non existent sense of humor

[covert sentinel]

Woah holy shit

[worldly fjord]

That was 2000 years ago what do u mean

Mit wasnt around yet

[dusky tide]

my mit interviewer added me on linked in

[worldly fjord]

Yeah go get some bitches

[ruby stag]

bro plugged his linkedin

[covert sentinel]

Wasnt this convo had already i though yall were bitchless

[dusky tide]

the fuck i plugged linkedin

[covert sentinel]

Maybe theres one dude idk

Actually

[verbal idol]

The most NPC discord profile I have ever seen in my life was co'25 in an STS server and got into harvard yale MIT so anecodetal evidence is strong with this one

[covert sentinel]

Watch an npc spawn in and be like "omg my gf and i are so happy were both going to mit"

[grave river]

i got you

[ruby stag]

slipped your linkedin to your interviewer with a small bribe

[worldly fjord]

Good

[ruby stag]

average npc

[covert sentinel]

And this will be a week after the decisions released and they just checked

[dusky tide]

my interviewers were trying to recruit me

[ruby stag]

🥱

mine didn’t need to try

they knew i was getting in

[dusky tide]

recruit me as in

recruit me to their work

[ruby stag]

my mit interviewer said i was a good fit for mit

[dusky tide]

obv im getting in

[ruby stag]

🥱

[verbal idol]

my interviewer didn't even bother asking me an actual questions, he just said that this interview was my likely letter correspondence

[ruby stag]

100% bot

[verbal idol]

I'm so cracked that they created a likely letter just for me

just like that international princeton dude

on reddit

[waxen gorge]

the one thing i don't get is when the hell did your interviewers say you were the "best [x]" in a long time 😭 when does that even come up in the interview?

[ruby stag]

never

[waxen gorge]

mine just wished me good luck and had to leave to go somewhere but he walked me to the car

tho, it wasnt mit so

[ruby stag]

@dusky tide i recruited my interviewer

they didn’t recruit me

they wanted to work with me

[covert sentinel]

0:40 https://youtu.be/314OLE6mKOo

You (real) ((not actually real this is a joke))

[ruby stag]

i’m not lying either he asked how he would get in contact with the dept i intern for and work with them to help his veterans trying to go to college

[dusky tide]

but ill be the one interviewing

[ruby stag]

what

[verbal idol]

this unironically happened to me

[dusky tide]

@covert sentinel do u think im Asian

[grave river]

i think ur just dumb /j

[dusky tide]

yeah

its true

[ruby stag]

roasted

[dusky tide]

dude

[ruby stag]

as a representative of the balkan community, we reject your application to join our peninsula

[dusky tide]

thats my 2fa code

[ruby stag]

we will pass it over to the asians

[dusky tide]

why did that paste into here

[covert sentinel]

"((not actually real this is a joke))"

Idk you!

[grave river]

as a representative of the asian community we pass you on to americans

[covert sentinel]

Yall cannot be fr

Lmfao

[verbal idol]

what no decisions do to mfs

[grave river]

ironincally coming from the gap year bro

[covert sentinel]

Bro we are all struggling

At least they arent coping with no decisions and hw

[verbal idol]

what does that have to do with waiting for decisions

^ fax

[dusky tide]

what gap year does to a mf

[verbal idol]

nah I'm chillin

I'm not worryin bout no portal astrology!

[covert sentinel]

Bro fr could just take a nap then another then wake up to decisions

[verbal idol]

lol

I had to really plan out my gap year in detail

bc I heard it's super easy to just waste it

you have to have a schedule

[covert sentinel]

How did you go abt planning it?

Lowkey all i can really think of is girlboss hs, get a job after graduating, and be a capitalism whore while treating college apps like a hobby

While trying to remember to care abt college bc something something paycheck increase

[verbal idol]

I looked up all the timelines of official events and programs that I wanted to enter, and also set myself milestones throughout the year for certain things I wanted to get done

[grave river]

that acc sounds fulfilling, hope you had a great year

[verbal idol]

My two main things I'm doing is

1. Continuing a project I got an intl research award for in high school
2. Service Project serving people that come from my background (don't wanna get too specific on that bc dox)

And then just supplementary things like doing NASA internship during summer, trying to invest all the money I'm making from my job, and gym

[grave river]

supplementary things like NASA internship

💀

[verbal idol]

I mean

at this point they're not really that special

for top colleges lol

it was really fun though

[grave river]

really?
as an intl i dont have much reference so....how many HSers get it every year across the us? (roughly speaking)

[verbal idol]

Yeah thanks, it's been great so far but you're also the only one responsible for keeping yourself busy and having a schedule

so it's a good skill to learn I guess

to make sure I'm meeting all my milestones

[verbal idol]

A fair amount, it's still impressive in the grand scheme of things but I'm saying that it's not particularly groundbreaking to get one

in the context of college admissions

[grave river]

oh alright, makes sense

[dusky tide]

314 624

[verbal idol]

https://stemgateway.nasa.gov/public/s/explore-opportunities

[dusky tide]

what dude

[verbal idol]

(It's through here by the way)

[dusky tide]

its the decision date

[covert sentinel]

No its not

Thats 314 628

You got tau wrong smh my head!!1!

[dusky tide]

oh

@covert sentinel are u international

[covert sentinel]

No

Why?

[verbal idol]

You can check people's roles and see what region they're from @dusky tide

[dusky tide]

im not doing that bru

[verbal idol]

I got ghost pinged

who was it

[dusky tide]

yeah probably

@small forge slate doesnt even track shit

unless like 100000000000 reqs are coming from your ip

yeah

[ruby stag]

wait til you actually get the internship

[verbal idol]

?

[ruby stag]

wait i’m confused hold on

ok nevermind

[verbal idol]

💀

I alr finished it lmao

[royal gull]

what if u self test lmao

do they get the scores I type in the common app section basically?

(caltech not mit)

[dusky tide]

yeah

they do

[royal gull]

MIT already got mine cuz they have it on the portal, just confirming caltech

[dusky tide]

same

[grave river]

nope, caltech redacts any test (sat/act) scores mentioned anywhere

[royal gull]

isn’t that just for SAT?

not aps

or is it aps too wtf

[ruby stag]

i’m not sure they receive APs

[grave river]

.....by having employees who're not in admissions screen stuff out?

[ruby stag]

but they can see what APs you’ve took

[dusky tide]

they probs look at aps but they dont matter really

[ruby stag]

and make you report tests

[quasi rover]

what if you report like

NMF

or presidential scholar

lol

I didnt apply personally but what if you do that

[grave river]

you can report stem tests like olys, amc etc

[timber urchin]

I think that's kinda been the test blind loophole for UCs, Dyson, Caltech but maybe they just ignore it now

[dusky tide]

they def dont look at it

[grave river]

a simple code that cuts out any mention of sat/act from the files would suffice ig

[quasi rover]

I mean how can they avoid looking at it

unless they purge all mention of national merit

presidential scholars

etc

[dusky tide]

they arent going to be like

"yeah he has a good test score"

[timber urchin]

They might. There's crazy shit going on at admissions

[waxen gorge]

there's probably an option that common app offers to cut out the act/sat part

to college

[grave river]

just scroll over to the beaver breakroom faqs, they do have a couple of answers for this

[quasi rover]

Obviously

[dusky tide]

or... they just dont parse it into slate?

[quasi rover]

also

[dusky tide]

some clerk just does that

[quasi rover]

wtf if ur counselor mentions a score

they certainly cant avoid that

Lmao

[dusky tide]

i dont think any sane counselor does that

[quasi rover]

Some definitely do

[grave river]

find{ sat}
replace {****}

[timber urchin]

Scholastic Aptitude Test

[waxen gorge]

tbf what if it's spaghetti code

and doing something breaks it

LOL

[quasi rover]

if ur dumb enough that u thought submitting a 900 to caltech would do you any favors even if it wasnt test blind

u deserve to get auto rejected anyways

so

[royal gull]

like I said- self testing dude here

[half basalt]

huh the mit portal looks slightly different

oh

they removed recommenders

i got scared for a second

[pine prism]

wait what caltech is test blind fr?

[ruby stag]

yes

[pine prism]

interesting, I would've assumed they'd be the one school like mit to require testing

[half basalt]

True rivals

[royal gull]

ikr

rivalry 100

[outer wigeon]

yeah they say on their application that they don't want peoples test scores because so many top applicants have similar scores :/

[royal gull]

what about someone applying with a 1300

or better yet

a 400

comeone I didn't give 3 sat attempts for nothing as an Int'l

[clear gulch]

!mit

[unique talon]

fear

[pine prism]

yeah I just wana get my decision now so I can be over with this

these 4 days are gonna be torture

[royal acorn]

four mo' days

i've made peace with the rejection

but it's such a cool place so hopefully postgrad one day :,)

[small forge]

Decisions come at 5 am here lol, imagine waking up in the middle of the night to see your first rejection

[royal acorn]

really random, but did y'all just see the (invite recommenders) button on your mit portal disappear?

i just find it funny they only took it off four days before decisions 😅

[random valley]

They removed the whole mf checklist

[royal acorn]

that as well lol

[snow thunder]

guys less than 100 hours

😳

[royal acorn]

😳

until i take my first proper L from college decisions

it's gonna SMACK

bc i fanboyed too hard over the mit dorm promo videos

😔

[dapper sedge]

Luckily I'm prepared

I've already taken multiple Ls consecutively

[timber urchin]

Literally gonna be the first rejection in my entire family

[snow thunder]

me too

mit bout to be my first rejection

[royal acorn]

it's okay

we'll take it on the chin

then have brownies

we all tried our best and that's worthy of celebration either way :> brownie celebration!

:brownie:

there's about 220 people in here, i think 5-15 will get in!

high proportion of cracked people so maybe like 12 if i had to pick a specific number

[covert sentinel]

Rejections are okay guys dw

Like oh no you can go to a college not known for "ihtfp"

Oh no you might have fun in college

Look at the bright side!!!

[royal acorn]

so true

[covert sentinel]

All of us eventually regardless of what decision we make by may (epic and swag and happy)

[royal acorn]

that is one beautiful sheep

[covert sentinel]

That is a cat

[ruby stag]

beautiful

[royal acorn]

that is one beautiful cat

[covert sentinel]

Thank you

I stole the image from twitter

[royal acorn]

twitter has beautiful sheep

/ cats

jury's still out on identification

we're gonna be so epic and swag and happy

[dense echo]

!mit

[pine prism]

any portal astrology?

Decisions should have already been made and uploaded by now, right?

[verbal idol]

Nope, they make decisions up to the day before

[placid fractal]

bruh i thought this is banned

[verbal idol]

It is

[pine prism]

wait what?

why?

[placid fractal]

coz its unproductive lol

dont think its ever worked

[pine prism]

i heard it works

[placid fractal]

hmmmm im pretty dubious of that claim

[verbal idol]

So is being in this discord but yeah

[pine prism]

found this https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/mdb91u/mods_this_is_why_you_should_allow_portal_astrology/

[verbal idol]

Very very very few % of portal astrology works

[placid fractal]

bro u absolutely did not need to call us out like this 😭

[verbal idol]

lol

But yeah MIT is still making decisions

[quasi rover]

it does sometimes

[harsh rose]

It has

[quasi rover]

it worked yesterday for UChicago actually lol

but still

its banned

[waxen gorge]

also, even if portal astrology DOES work, what does it even do for you

[quasi rover]

thread might get closed if we start speculating

[placid fractal]

yea lol

[waxen gorge]

it's just potentially confirming what you'll figure out relatively soon anyways

[pine prism]

WAT

[waxen gorge]

the best thing to do is to get off this discord and work on what you love

[pine prism]

wait banned on discord or reddit?

what was the technique I'm curious

[placid fractal]

banned on discord and disapproved of on reddit i think

[verbal idol]

Only if we actually start doing it as opposed to talking about it

[quasi rover]

ill dm

[waxen gorge]

yesterday the speculation was that people who had the waitlist withdrawal form (it was on their portal) actually got waitlisted - it turned out to be true, but there was no point in it

decisions were literally hours away by that point

[placid fractal]

wait dm me as well pls im curious lmao

[stuck turret]

The UChicago one didn't work, actually. My sis had no withdrawal form and still got waitlisted.

[waxen gorge]

oh wow

then i guess it's coincidence

thank you for telling me that :P

[stuck turret]

Yeah, I'm assuming since there were so many waitlisted, there were bound to be a good number with the withdrawal option still there

[placid fractal]

???

[quasi rover]

form was removed later for everyone, are you sure you checked around 11 pm central yesterday?

or maybe it was wrong idk

whatever

[placid fractal]

wait can u dm the details im curious

[quasi rover]

we really ought to stop talking abt it 💀

[placid fractal]

afaik 99% of portal astrology is based on rumours and anecdotal evidence so i remain pretty skeptical

[verbal idol]

Is Carly stalking the threads again

I’m seeing some message getting deleted

💀

[quasi rover]

anyways

how y'all feeling for mit

[placid fractal]

lol as an intl im basically prepared for rejection

[verbal idol]

Can’t wait to open my rejection letter on Tuesday

[quasi rover]

💀

[placid fractal]

ok nah but mit has only had 1 new zealander in its entire undergrad student body for the past 3 years

so my pessimism is not entirely unfounded lol

[pine prism]

wth

maybe no one from new zealand applies

[placid fractal]

nah bro they apply

i thought my ibo silver would be a nice boost but now i doubt its even enough

💀

[sweet elm]

wtf ibo

[placid fractal]

fully preparing for that rejection rn

[sweet elm]

cracked

[quasi rover]

Lol yeah MIT hates intl kids more than like

ivies

it seems to me

[placid fractal]

lmao its alright

[quasi rover]

i heard it only takes like

5 from china a year

idk if thats 100% accurate

but if it is

its like

[placid fractal]

🗿

[quasi rover]

💀

[verbal idol]

Least cracked intl mit applicant

[sweet elm]

lmfao

fr

[placid fractal]

this, but unironically 💀

[verbal idol]

Lmao

I have 2 intl awards and I’m hoping those carry my spike

And then there’s this dude just

“Yeah my ibo is shit”

💀💀💀💀

[placid fractal]

no but like

🗿

silver is lowkey bad in terms of mit admissions ngl

[quasi rover]

uh

no

Lmao

[placid fractal]

like i know imo silvers that were rejected

[quasi rover]

yeah

but

if they got gold

theyd probably be rejected too

cus MIT just doesnt take intls lol

[pine prism]

💀

[quasi rover]

and there are those without medals that get in

albeit more rarely

but yeah

[placid fractal]

mit moment

nah algs lol im fully prepared to get rejected lol

[pine prism]

Ik someone from my school from 6 years ago who got into mit as an international

but they went to school in the us

[placid fractal]

its just sad coz i had a rly good interview and i rly want to reach out again to my interviewer and tell him the good news haha

[pine prism]

idt they had any awards

[verbal idol]

pelu if you get into MIT can you give me your Yale acceptance

[pine prism]

i'll try

[verbal idol]

Sick

[quasi rover]

bro got into yale already?

[pine prism]

but idt we have to worry bout that bc i'm not getting in 😦

[quasi rover]

is money an issue there? cus otherwise u already fucking won considering ur an intl

LMAO

[pine prism]

no I'm domestic

[quasi rover]

playing on hard mode ong

[verbal idol]

What makes you not want to go to unis in your home country

[pine prism]

i think ivies are easier for internationals

[placid fractal]

bro im from new zealand

[quasi rover]

Yes

[pine prism]

rip

[quasi rover]

MIT is like so fucking bad

for intls

lol

[placid fractal]

we have more sheep than people 💀

[pine prism]

[placid fractal]

utoronto lol

[pine prism]

o nice

[placid fractal]

[quasi rover]

my state has more cows than people

[pine prism]

wait lemme guess

[placid fractal]

😤

[pine prism]

kansas?

[quasi rover]

Nope

[placid fractal]

💪

[pine prism]

nebraska?

[quasi rover]

thats where I smurfed in the U1400 section of the state chess championship while unrated though and farmed them for 200 dollars

so its close

[quasi rover]

Nope

[pine prism]

lol

oklahoma

[placid fractal]

bro tried to sneak in nebraska

[quasi rover]

Yeah

[pine prism]

??

[placid fractal]

lmfaoooo

[verbal idol]

@placid fractal which US unis did you apply to

[placid fractal]

hypsm + ucb & ucla + jhu

go big or go home

[verbal idol]

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Dog

[pine prism]

"go home"

lol is pun intended

sry

[placid fractal]

lol if i dont get into any of these id rather go to canada

[verbal idol]

Oh I see

Makes more sense then

[placid fractal]

america isnt exactly the most welcoming place rn

[pine prism]

what about cornell and cmu

[verbal idol]

I was about to say like you want to leave your home country so much and then apply like exclusively to T10 schools 💀

Not very good chances

[pine prism]

those were my top choices after hypsm

[placid fractal]

lmaooooo

[verbal idol]

Are you just gonna go to Yale if all else fails

[pine prism]

yeah

[verbal idol]

Makes sense tbh

[pine prism]

i chase prestige

[placid fractal]

valid tbh

[pine prism]

but also I didn't apply to a lot of typically strong math schools like uchic, columbia, and caltech bc i don't vibe with them

[placid fractal]

imagine having yale as ur safety 💀

a different level of flex

[verbal idol]

lol

I constantly oscillate between

thinking imma get into all my reach schools

Just saving myself the effort and committing to my safety I already got into

[pine prism]

if u don't get into at least one reach idk what to say

[placid fractal]

lol im adjusting my p(MIT) down rn just so i dont feel too bad on tuesday

[pine prism]

they're crazy to reject international olympiad medal

[placid fractal]

ehhhh they do it all the time i think

[verbal idol]

I think you confused me with embeddedagent

[placid fractal]

yall are rly overestimating intl oly medals tbh

[hollow tangle]

fr

[verbal idol]

Also IBO silver from New Zealand seems like a dox 💀

[quasi rover]

💀

[pine prism]

wait LOL fax

[placid fractal]

ehhhhh i dont rly care lmao

if i get doxxed its not like im a celebrity or anything lol

[pine prism]

u are one of 2 people

[placid fractal]

yea

[sweet elm]

lmao

[placid fractal]

if ur gonna dox me at least save me the dignity of not looking at my pics lol my hair during ibo is atrocious

[verbal idol]

What are y’all’s reaches outside of hypsm

[pine prism]

no ur hair looks fine

[placid fractal]

wait wtf u actually found pics??

💀

[pine prism]

ok ill stop gn

[placid fractal]

lmao

[timber urchin]

Literally don't have any... It's not possible. Even HYPSM are merely hard targets for me

But FR, Duke, Northwestern, Columbia, Penn

USC

Carnegie Mellon

And N*rtheastern 💀

[placid fractal]

this sentence is the most based i have read in a long time

[ruby stag]

mit is this man’s safety

[timber urchin]

They yield protected me EA

[placid fractal]

frfr

imma starting telling myself i was yielded protected everytime a uni rejects me

top tier copium

[waxen gorge]

i didn't apply to mit because i wanted to give you guys a chance at a spot

[sweet elm]

lmao

i got rejected UIUC for CS

but i trust it's yield protection

[ruby stag]

my friend got rejected UIUC cs and got in UW cs lol

[timber urchin]

UIUC is better

And more competitive afaik

[sweet elm]

i got into gt

and rej uiuc

[ruby stag]

UW has a 2% acceptance rate for cs

[sweet elm]

yea it's lower than uiuc's

[timber urchin]

I will retract more competitive

With a caveat. Seattle is much more attractive place to be a student than fucking champaign

[sweet elm]

certainly better yeah

[placid fractal]

i was deferred from stanford coz my essays were so good they want to read it twice 😎

[sweet elm]

uiuc has ~6-7% including in and out of state though

i believe

bc their site doesn't specify oos vs. not

so i'm assuming oos cs is also probably v low

"logical implication in one direction doesn't indicate implication in the opposite direction"

🤓

[timber urchin]

Literally no one wants to live in champaign tho

[sweet elm]

p->q != q->p would have been more efficient and you even look smarter there's more symbols involved

two birds with one stone

[placid fractal]

least logically inclined mit applicant

[sweet elm]

meh

i like the corn field vibe

ppl are like UIUC is awesome but omg corn fields rural!!

[stuck turret]

I get that. But they were saying if you have it, you are waitlisted. If you don't, you're either accepted or rejected.

[sweet elm]

that's good imo

[ruby stag]

based

[timber urchin]

It's true that the campus is 90% of what matters and not the city itself

[ruby stag]

F->T =! T->F

[verbal idol]

Thank you my lord

[placid fractal]

backbone of society fr 🫡

[brazen jay]

if there is an update should i still send it or does it not really matter since its so close to decision date?

[meager skiff]

how significant is the update? Unless its something like you just won the imo, it's probably not worth it.

[barren lily]

bruh IMO starts second july

[ruby stag]

they’ve 99.9% already decided

[royal gull]

Guys

reminder

if you are about to die from anxiety

just withdraw and then die, save us some spots!

[ruby stag]

wholesome -> 🤨🤨🤨

[royal gull]

so wholesome :D

[grave river]

do you still have the withdraw button?

[royal gull]

idk

and I am too lazy to check

[grave river]

cant acess my mit portal wtfffff

[royal gull]

foreshadowing that you are going to be accepted

honestly all my rejections so far have loaded so quick

and all my acceptances took ages to load

[grave river]

maybe bc i didnt apply but thats a minor detail

[royal gull]

lol

[fresh kelp]

can MIT waitlist a deferred applicant?

[grave river]

waitlist -> deferr is incredibly rare, far rarer than even wl-> acceptance

[fresh kelp]

No, what I mean is can they waitlist me if they already deferred me in early action? Because some schools have policies of not waitlisting students in RD if they were already deferred in EA(caltech)

[ruby stag]

i don’t think they have a policy

but similar to caltech it seems like accept/reject for ea deferred

[grave river]

the can but very very usually dont

[snow thunder]

It can happen

[royal acorn]

just a general question for HYPSM/T10s: do colleges ever email your school counsellor? say if someone from your school got in

[random valley]

i dont think so

its ur job to notify ur counselors and recommenders

[hybrid lantern]

hi! would anyone who gets in be willing to share stats? mit's one of my dream schools, so i'd like to be in contact with someone who will attend

[timber urchin]

I will after they admit me on Tuesday

But fr idk if anyone here got in EA and committed yet

[hybrid lantern]

hmm okay

i hope you get in

[timber urchin]

Thanks 😊

[timid arch]

All the rejected caltech’ers hopping over here now I’m guessing?

[clear gulch]

yes

3 more days till I move to UCLA

[slim hull]

yeeeaa

[timber urchin]

Couldn't even give them a moment to grieve before saying that 💀

Absolutely brutal

[half basalt]

MIT is better anyway 😤

[ruby stag]

can’t wait to get rejected woohoo

[sturdy fox]

Did you do ea?

[ruby stag]

RD

but i’m autoreject

pretty much

32 act

[sturdy fox]

Oh nice, I think most people I know did ea and were just deferred

Did you do an rea somewhere, or just decided not to ea here

[ruby stag]

I did rea

harvard

[timid arch]

1. I meant it as a joke, not an insult
2. Y’all wouldn’t have this place if it weren’t for me
3. I’m also applying this year

[ruby stag]

got deferred

[sturdy fox]

Why so salty

[grave river]

sorry, didnt mean to, just pissed at caltech ig
genuinely sorry

[timid arch]

Yeah I get that no worries

[sturdy fox]

Hey that’s awesome! Much better than reject

[timid arch]

I’ve been told worse 💀

[ruby stag]

they defer like 70% of people

im not getting in anywhere

[sturdy fox]

What’s the worst thing anyone said to you on here?

[ruby stag]

and it fuckign sucks

[grave river]

still, my bad
sorry

[ruby stag]

i need to go for a walk or eat or something

get my shit together

[sturdy fox]

Cmon man don’t say stuff like that, you’re a super smart person. Your stats are awesome, you’re fun to talk to so I bet your essays are great, and admissions are just a dice roll at some point

[timid arch]

Ig it depends on how you define “worst” bc there’s doxxing me which isn’t an insult but still bad but then there’s also just general stuff like insulting my major, telling me to kill myself while making fun of personal things I had discussed

[sturdy fox]

I took a break from the server for 2 months because (No offense Carly it’s great) it was fucking me up in the head a little

And the break was rlly good

[timid arch]

Yeah this place can be a lot

[sturdy fox]

And I just went crazy on a programming project to take my mind off decisions
