[wind nimbus]

[quiet current]

i've spent less time working on it than most people

[wind nimbus]

its pretty hard

[thick abyss]

True but you had more time which you didn’t utilize

[quiet current]

yeah ik

that's what i just said

[rare kettle]

we got UNC, which is better 🔫

[thick abyss]

That extra time is an unfair bomus imo

even if you didn’t use it, you still had it yk

[wind nimbus]

its not tho xD

[quiet current]

yeah

[thick abyss]

Not you, just people in general

[wind nimbus]

Duke is

[quiet current]

imo there's only so much that refining your essays can do

[rare kettle]

wait... which college lost in the first round of the NCAA bracket as a first seed?

[quiet current]

changing the phrasing of a few sentences or restructuring your essay

idk

that's such a small difference that i don't find very likely to make a difference in admissions

[wind nimbus]

dawg yall lost to kansas

[rare kettle]

y'all lost to a 16 seed

[quiet current]

also this. wish i lived in michigan and not ohio

[thick abyss]

The vibe also sucks imo

[wind nimbus]

[quiet current]

i'm jealous of your opportunities even if they don't benefit you lol

[rare kettle]

[wind nimbus]

[quiet current]

cya broski

[wind nimbus]

[quiet current]

i've never really been anywhere in ny outside of nyc

[thick abyss]

I’ll gladly switch with u

[wind nimbus]

xD

[rare kettle]

[quiet current]

unfortunately

[thick abyss]

Dayton ohio is fun

Rest sucks

[wind nimbus]

i didnt know chicago was in illinois till i moved to america

kinda thought it was its own thing

[quiet current]

i don't even remember what's in dayton

[wind nimbus]

shi theres nothing in va

[thick abyss]

My granny

[wind nimbus]

tryn gtfo

[quiet current]

fair enough

i'm just trying to escape my state

honestly

[wind nimbus]

i mean uva and vt r all right

[quiet current]

a UMich acceptance at the end of january would make me very very happy

[wind nimbus]

but im hopin for oos

[wind nimbus]

nah fr tho

but i doubt

personally

[thick abyss]

Umich, unc and northeastern would make me v v happy

[wind nimbus]

got rejecteed from columbia and self confidence went out the window

[quiet current]

well UMich accepts a lot more than columbia

to be fair

[rare kettle]

you don't want to be stuck in that concrete jungle anyways

[wind nimbus]

umich, gt, cornell, Brown

[quiet current]

i got deferred from case western of all places

[wind nimbus]

tru

[thick abyss]

Lmao I just meant ea

[rare kettle]

ayy i'm waiting on unc too

[wind nimbus]

who??

[wind nimbus]

oh

[quiet current]

they're a top private university

located in ohio

[wind nimbus]

in that case gt, mich, uva or umd

[wind nimbus]

o aiit

[thick abyss]

Umd is gonna be in February I believe

[quiet current]

OSU is better for CS though and i already got into OSU main campus

[thick abyss]

Sucks hard

[quiet current]

i'm just pissed case western deferred me for yield protection

i paid the application fee don't be a bitch

[wind nimbus]

bruh

thats sum bs

[wind nimbus]

LOL

wut r ur stats if u dm

[quiet current]

35 act, 4.756 gpa W, 4.0 UW

2nd in class / 376

[wicked saddle]

frrrrr like all the life is in the city

[quiet current]

cwru said 🖕 cause i didn't show enough interest

[leaden scaffold]

CWRU is literally the paradigm of yield protection. If u apply there as an overqualified app you gotta expect to be deferred

[wicked saddle]

Ngl, I never even heard of case western outside of yield protection

[quiet current]

i took the deferral as a personal attack

lol

[hallow wind]

lmao

[wicked saddle]

lol i'd be like "they know i'm too bomb for them 🙄 "

[leaden scaffold]

Yea they actually hate you

Withdraw now

[tawny prism]

@rare kettle hi! i just finished up my supp draft, would you mind taking a look now?

[quiet current]

i submitted!!

19/19 omg

relief

[steep cliff]

Does anyone have more info if deadline is feb 10?

[plain chasm]

is it a bad idea to submit writing sup tmr

i’m ded tn but technically have a fleshed out 250 word why major already

so i’d just need 400 more words

[wheat dew]

I don’t think one night matters

you’re good

[tame belfry]

I just talked to my counselor and showed him the stuff

He told me to not rush and submit today

[plain chasm]

if they’re not reviewing til feb and it’s extended on CA

ur fine

[tame belfry]

Cuz my essay has a very good idea and I need time to polish

[plain chasm]

i’m mainly just shotgunning cornell

[tame belfry]

Like if I submit today it would be a mid essay

[tame belfry]

Same lmdao

[wheat dew]

I’m just shotgunning Cornell because they like my school 💀

[tame belfry]

On thé 2nd i was mainly doing Yale cuz that was more important for me

[tame belfry]

Every year there are people who go to Cornell from my school …

Cope

[wheat dew]

yeah same

[plain chasm]

on the 2nd i applied to yale as well

[wheat dew]

but like it’s an obscene amount

[plain chasm]

wait no i think i applied to yale, caltech, jhu

and maybe dartmouth

that day

💀

[wheat dew]

bro

how

[plain chasm]

i remember rushing to submit cornell app

[plain chasm]

built different

[wheat dew]

damn

[plain chasm]

i have pre made essays and then just do some simple research

but my essays are fire

[wheat dew]

yeah that’s what I did as well

[plain chasm]

😼

[wheat dew]

I actually rly like Cornell tbh

they have an amazing astrobiology program

one of the few unis that offer an astrobiology track

they have a minor for it

[tame belfry]

Same lol I submitted 5 schools on the 3rd

Dartmouth Duke UChicago JHu Amherst

And another 4 on the 5th 💀

[tame belfry]

I like the campus, looking pretty kool

[long oak]

LMAO THIS

[wheat dew]

my school must have some deal with them istg

[long oak]

same bro

my school has way too many ppl who go to cornell (but also idk that many who got into early actually, most got deferred)

[wheat dew]

yeah me too

4 people got in Ed

and usually 22-24 ppl get in every year

it’s crazy

[wind nimbus]

thats insane

[wheat dew]

yeah…

[long oak]

we had 60 accepted last year... 💀

[wheat dew]

WHAT

there is no way

I cannot wrap my head around that

[plain chasm]

💀

[vernal raven]

i mean the best way into a t20 is going to a top private highschool

[plain chasm]

for real

[wheat dew]

ig

[wheat dew]

LOL

[vernal raven]

more ppl get in from like a select number of private highschools than entire states combined

[wheat dew]

ITS REAL

[long oak]

not private 💀

[plain chasm]

the fuck

[long oak]

just really heavy feeder

[plain chasm]

how many people are in ur class????

[long oak]

900 in my class

[wheat dew]

I’m not private either tbf

[long oak]

which might explain it

[wheat dew]

I have around 250

[plain chasm]

ah okay

[long oak]

its like 400-ish applying each year

[plain chasm]

tf

[long oak]

to cornell

[vernal raven]

same thing basically lol

[plain chasm]

that’s wild if they take 10% of your class

[long oak]

still a crazy acceptance rate

[wheat dew]

yeah

[plain chasm]

i come from the opposite of a feeder

like we practically get unlikely letters

💀

[wheat dew]

LOL don’t say that 😭

[long oak]

its okayyy break the cycle

u got this

[plain chasm]

nah someone already broke it this year

someone got into dartmouth

[long oak]

oh wait

ur the person

[wheat dew]

yeah dude you’re absolutely cracked for astro

[long oak]

with the ed dartmouth

yeah i remember

[plain chasm]

ye

asked the same guy to write me my peer rec 💀💀

straight shotgunned dartmouth rd

[wheat dew]

SMART

[plain chasm]

nah we are really close so i was going to have him write it anyway

[long oak]

getting a peer rec from the dartmouth student W

[wheat dew]

ah ok

[feral wren]

does the peer rec have to be a high schooler?

[plain chasm]

it was freaking phenomenal tho

[plain chasm]

no

[plain chasm]

he quoted a convo we had months ago

[long oak]

damnnnn

[plain chasm]

idk hoping for at least one t20 dub

would be nice

[long oak]

i had someone in mind who definitely wouldve written me an amazing peer rec but frankly i did not like dartmouth that much so i didnt apply there

the supps seemed fun-ish tho

[plain chasm]

they were

[wheat dew]

I just want A dub 😭

[plain chasm]

the only schools i didn’t apply to that i was considering were uchicago, penn, and stanford

[long oak]

i just want to get into cmu ed and be done with it all

[feral wren]

I kinda regret not shotgunning tbh, but the app fees would have added up

[long oak]

bc frankly i dont know if i can last until march/april for results

[wheat dew]

yeah I get you

[long oak]

stressed af already 😭

[plain chasm]

lucky to have fee waivers

still ended up paying a lot of money

not everything was free

[feral wren]

yeah I got a few but even then

[long oak]

yeahhh fuck stanford (i got rejected, so i have a personal vendetta against them LMAO)

[plain chasm]

ah sorry for your loss

tbh sorry for THEIR loss

😼

[wheat dew]

yeah got some fee waivers too so I went all out

[long oak]

penn i was considering not applying to but i had a supp written there already

[feral wren]

I did apply to a few schools with easy supps bc of fee waivers lol

[long oak]

so i just dealt with it and wrote the other two

[plain chasm]

i was like “do i like my safety more than this school” and if i did then i didn’t apply, if i was on the fence i applied, if i liked the school more i applied

and that’s how i totaled 13

[long oak]

penns math department is pretty bad for intro classes ive heard

[long oak]

i did 16 without fee waivers 💀

[plain chasm]

ouch

[long oak]

costs added up but eh

i did like 3 of them during suny free week

and uchicago had fee waivers for those applying for finaid

so it was only like 12 apps

[feral wren]

suny's apps are free?

[long oak]

still a lot tho 😭

[long oak]

during free week, which was like back in mid oct to early nov

[feral wren]

that's nice

Wish UCs and CSUS did that

[long oak]

ucs 💀

[wheat dew]

ucs love money

[long oak]

yeah they would never do that

[feral wren]

i applied to 5 but probably would have done irvine or sb too if not for the 75 bucks

[long oak]

i half regret not applying to ucs (i was too lazy to write supps by end of nov) but like oos tuition wouldve been eh regardless

[dusk prairie]

FINISHED

[feral wren]

I'm in state so not a big deal. def wouldn't recommend for oos

[plain chasm]

wait is it cool if i send update letters to all of my schools or should i not

it isn’t that important but i have a few new things

[wheat dew]

yeah that’s fine

[plain chasm]

that i completely forgot to put on my apps

[wheat dew]

if you have the time go for it

[plain chasm]

it’s in my loci

[long oak]

wait is this for rd schools

[plain chasm]

yeah

[wheat dew]

the more info you throw at them the better imo

[plain chasm]

i mean wait

[long oak]

id say go for it

[plain chasm]

i just wanted to clarify the specific exam i’m taking for piano and that i’ll be receiving an international & national piano award in may, completing my candidacy for these things u need to do 10y of, and then also smth about meeting with the senators of my state to discuss policy implementation

is that worthwhile if they know the basics of it already

[wheat dew]

dude then yes 💀

please do

[plain chasm]

ok 😔

that’s so much work

but i might idk

[wheat dew]

it’ll be worth trust

plus you can copy paste kinda

[plain chasm]

ye

i just don’t rlly know how to format it

like a loci or bullet pointed or what

[wheat dew]

I would do a loci type formate

[plain chasm]

“i would like to briefly update the admissions department in a few notable events since the submission of my regular decision application”

and then that

[wheat dew]

yes

[plain chasm]

ok

[wheat dew]

perf

[vernal raven]

u just like me twin

[wheat dew]

fr 😭

[vernal raven]

id be happy just getting into my state flagship lmao

not even confident in that bc the cs department is cracked asf there

[long oak]

out of curiosity, are you in ny?

[vernal raven]

no

[long oak]

ah

[vernal raven]

what stateflag ship is in ny?

[long oak]

stony? they have a pretty solid cs program

[vernal raven]

o

[feral wren]

what school, if you don't mind me asking?

[vernal raven]

im from mass

umass amherst

[long oak]

ahh

good luck!

[vernal raven]

ty!

[feral wren]

GL!

[long oak]

i already have a pretty solid school i got into but my parents want more from me 😭😭😭

[vernal raven]

id be happy getting in for engineering too, which is a lot easier to get into

[long oak]

so yeah my standards have kinda raised a lot

[vernal raven]

can i ask what school

[long oak]

stony

[wheat dew]

I didn’t even apply for my state school because their program sucks 😭

[vernal raven]

is stony brook near port jeff

like on long island

[long oak]

yep

[vernal raven]

ooh

[wheat dew]

so there’s a chance I don’t get into a single school I applied too

[long oak]

its like a stop away on the lirr lol

[vernal raven]

my cousins live there

[feral wren]

my parents first said they didn't care about prestigious then I got into less prestigious schools EA 💀

[long oak]

my friends and i railfanned port jefferson the time we visited stony it is truly suburban hell

[vernal raven]

whattt

port jeff is awesome

[long oak]

LMAO
when i told them i wanted to ed cmu they started looking up rankings and shit and they were like "cmu isnt that good"

[quiet current]

bro what

i'd happily go to CMU over every school except MIT

[vernal raven]

cmu is like t5 for cs lmao

[long oak]

and then proceeded to tell me that if i got in ed and saw my friends getting into better schools to not be mad bc this was my own decision which is sorta valid but like djsnsjfndnajjaah i was so pissed

[plain chasm]

mitty 🤓

[quiet current]

CMU could be argued at #1 for CS

[long oak]

im not cs, unfortunately

still stem tho

[plain chasm]

caltech >

[quiet current]

easily

[vernal raven]

ooof

cmu is still cracked at stem tho

[long oak]

yeah

[quiet current]

yeah

[vernal raven]

theyre just insaneee for cs

[long oak]

i tried not to let it get me down altho it kinda did but eh

i still decided to go for it so praying i get in 🙏🙏🙏

[vernal raven]

only reason i didnt apply to cmu is bc im not smart enough 💀

[quiet current]

you got it

[long oak]

ehhhh its pretty cool but like the walk was just

so suburban

[feral wren]

Mine aren't that bad lol

[long oak]

💀💀💀

[quiet current]

i have stats for CMU and other ivies just not the ECs and crazy awards

[long oak]

thistbh

[vernal raven]

i have the stats, but ik that cmu classes are mad hard and my highschool lowkey has insane grade inflation

[feral wren]

My (smarter) cousins got rejected at more prestigious schools so if I get into berkeley or UCLA my parents get bragging rights

Though extennded family will have lots of thoughts about Cal...

[vernal raven]

teachers will give the entire class an A for AP classes

its crazy

[quiet current]

yeah some classes have that here

[feral wren]

man I got to a kind of shitty urban school and we don't even get that

[long oak]

my high school has crazy grade deflation and ppl from my school who have gone there say its just hs part 2

[quiet current]

my AP classes this year are the first without crazy grade inflation

[long oak]

with that being said i still want to get in

[wheat dew]

sameeee

[feral wren]

admittedly anyone doing bad in CSP is an idiot but still

[quiet current]

my A's finally feel earned this year

[vernal raven]

yea i'd rather have grade deflation

[quiet current]

at least you have CSP

[vernal raven]

ur actually learning with grade deflation

[wheat dew]

trust me you wouldn’t 😭 it’s screws with your mental and motivation really bad

[vernal raven]

rn all my work is busy work and im only actually learning in like 3 classes, one of them being an online class

[feral wren]

we have most APs at least (except like, seminar and research). Comes with having over 3,000 kids

[long oak]

AGREE

physics c kills my mental

[vernal raven]

my motivations already super fucked

[wheat dew]

NAH PHYSICS C DONT REMIND ME

[feral wren]

oh yeah we don't have any physics beyond 1

[long oak]

😭😭😭

bro our last test was not it... rotations unit 💀💀

[vernal raven]

im going on a dopamine detox so that i can focus on grinding stuff outside of school lmao

[tawny prism]

i’m submitting this fucking supp i’m so sick of getting headaches over it

[quiet current]

we have 1600 kids and only 12 APs

[wheat dew]

lol I took it last year I barely made it out alive

[wind nimbus]

still need a review?

[long oak]

im trying to make it out alive... i probably will because senioritis 🙏

[tawny prism]

ummm i’ve had 3 people tell me it’s good to submit and i doubt i’d do any good editing with this headache so i think i’m okay, ty for the offer tho!!

[wheat dew]

good luck bro once you hit e and m you’ll rly start to feel it 💀

[vernal raven]

i wish my school had a class above physics 1

[long oak]

again, senioritis

[vernal raven]

thats our "hardest class"

[long oak]

its gonna be second sem

LMFAO

[wind nimbus]

i did physics intl and didnt bother once i moved here

transcript says A+ 🤷🏾‍♂️

[long oak]

i took normal physics last year and did fine, physics c just absolutely bodied me

[wind nimbus]

do u need ap physics if ur doing cs

[wheat dew]

I should’ve just taken it this year

man…

[wheat dew]

it helps but not necessary

[wind nimbus]

like ive done 2 yrs of physics but idk wut that means in the american curriculum

[long oak]

i mean... the ✨ course rigor ✨ tho

[wind nimbus]

so idk if colleges gon look at it weird

[wind nimbus]

i think 7 aps shld be fine

[wheat dew]

but at what point does rigor account for a deflated gpa

[vernal raven]

bro physics 1 was so overhyped. ppl were saying they had mental breakdowns and cried everyday when we have like 5/18 kids averaging A's this year and most have B+s

[long oak]

ok fair

[wheat dew]

that class killed my gpa

[wind nimbus]

wuts a deflated gpa

[long oak]

thats funny

ppl at my school

[feral wren]

low GPA

[long oak]

think b+ is terrible

[vernal raven]

same lmao

[wind nimbus]

oh same then

[long oak]

(myself included, the mentality has changed me 😭)

[wind nimbus]

moving intl to america messed me up hard

cuz my school councellors cant use 2 brain cells

[feral wren]

I kinda am like what which sucks

[wind nimbus]

so my rank is like 200/600

[feral wren]

college is gonna knock me on my ass

[vernal raven]

i never knew there was a difference between a A- and an A until the end of last year, so i wasn't trying to hard

this year i was sweating hard asf for all A's last term and im chilling with B+'s this term

[long oak]

im going to work harder in college tho so i think ill be a bit better

feel like i can definitely develop better study habits than i have rn

[vernal raven]

fr college is gonna be sm easier than highschool

only bc u dont have to do crazy ec's

[long oak]

also i wont have a 1 hour commute each way which will be a lot more helpful

[wheat dew]

ill work harder in college lemme just get in first 🙏

(pls)

[long oak]

THIS TOO

although it will probably be replaced with partying

[wheat dew]

hmm depends

[long oak]

unless i get into cmu

in which case

[wheat dew]

if you wanna do graduate

[long oak]

no partying

[wheat dew]

you gotta have good resume

[vernal raven]

i wont party no matter where i go

actually ill probably go to some

[long oak]

yeah same here

[vernal raven]

but i dont drink or anything

[long oak]

im half joking about the partying like

ill go here and there

for the sake of socializing

[vernal raven]

same

id only go so i can actually make friends 💀

[long oak]

or maybe i straight up find a social group outside of partying badabing badaboom problem solved!

[vernal raven]

do those even exist in college tho

[long oak]

if i get into and go to umich i already know a club im gonna join so theres that

[long oak]

i mean, if there are parties, why not social groups outside of them

the one time i went to cambridge i saw tons of college students in the streets just hanging out so yea

[wind nimbus]

talking to my friend whos a jr at cornell coe at least for black ppl its a really closely knit community and you meet everyone pre fast

so ig there r kinda but not the same as hs cuz u likely wont see them every day without a reason

[vernal raven]

but im middle eastern

[wind nimbus]

youll b aiit

[vernal raven]

actually thinking abt it college will be better

[long oak]

according to someone in the cornell ed thread cornell students are very horny

[vernal raven]

in highschool im friends with so many people but i only talk w them in school, so we're basically not even friends

[vernal raven]

thats a w

im friends with this freshman and hes the horniest dude ive ever met lmaoo

[wind nimbus]

me w my gf in u of toronto

[long oak]

i have a ton of friends but thats also bc im in one of the biggest clubs in the school so theres that

[wind nimbus]

🧍🏾‍♂️

[long oak]

[sweet gale]

couple days ago lol

[long oak]

same bro same

[vernal raven]

uhh i'd maybe email them

[plain chasm]

ah ok

[vernal raven]

it doesnt say ur common app was downloaded

[plain chasm]

i submitted my app prior to the deadline

[sweet gale]

im not worried abt it not being downloaded

i like submitted recently

dw

[vernal raven]

o ok

[steep cliff]

did cornell just want me to be less stressed?

[wind nimbus]

doubt

[sweet gale]

im going to kill cornell

pornel

[vernal raven]

maybe once they download the deadline will change

[long oak]

what-

[steep cliff]

cornell is run like a school club

[sweet gale]

im going to listen to phoebe bridgers and cry

[drowsy glen]

my besties in hell its literally in the middle of nowhere

chill

<3

[sweet gale]

LOL

[long oak]

cornell rhymes with hell, its an omen

[sweet gale]

THAT'S THE AESTHETIC JINSEI 😭

[plain chasm]

samesies!

[wind nimbus]

anyone ever think bout y tf theres an ivy day

like do they jus want to traumatize applicants

[long oak]

yes

i think

all colleges

should release

on april 1

[drowsy glen]

BNO

[long oak]

so applicants who get rejected

[drowsy glen]

JUST RELEASE WHEN THEY MAKE THE DECISION

[long oak]

can cope by telling themselves

its an april fools prank

[drowsy glen]

IF I GET REJECTED THE SECOND THEY SEE MY APP JUST TELL ME

[sweet gale]

when im tryna cry and this bitch come up

[wind nimbus]

the number of self abortions on april 1 📈📈📈

[drowsy glen]

THISSSS^^^^^^^^^

[wind nimbus]

bs

[sweet gale]

i'd do it on april 2nd

give some time

to wallow

[long oak]

ok to be fair they like re-review applications too i think

[wind nimbus]

tbh they might come back to apps wen adjusting the number of admits

[drowsy glen]

i would want to know at least

[long oak]

wait until ur sure its not an april fools prank 😭

[sweet gale]

yes

[drowsy glen]

like that would actually be interesting if you got an emaill every time they moved you from waitlist to reject to accpet

[wind nimbus]

like u mightve been a no but then they need more so then its a yes or they need less so you couldve been a no but now a yes

[wind nimbus]

that would be cool

[sweet gale]

this would make me so nauseous i'd be checking constantly

[wind nimbus]

in theory

[drowsy glen]

vs "oh i got in now im gonna tell people how to get in" and the person aws 2 seconds away fro rejection

[wind nimbus]

would they acc do it

no

[drowsy glen]

yeah :(

[plain chasm]

i hope they accept me because they need another astro major

[long oak]

it would be cool, but colleges dont want you to know that they didnt want you at some point

[drowsy glen]

but like

the stats

[wind nimbus]

ye they want to protect yield as well

[long oak]

ie if applicant gets into another school they like and if the college tells you we didnt want you much

its like

iffy

[drowsy glen]

idk i just want transparency like

[long oak]

yk

[wind nimbus]

if ik i was a cornell reject till a day before but brown wanted me whole time

ik where im going

[long oak]

fancy terminology

[sweet gale]

i think a robot should do it and it tells me if i got in as soon as i submit

[plain chasm]

to cornell

[wind nimbus]

they need more black students/africans

[long oak]

i forgot that phrase existed

[wind nimbus]

brown tbh

[sweet gale]

real

[wind nimbus]

and my close friend got a full ride there

[long oak]

correction: i think a robot should do it and it tells me i got in as soon as i submit

fuck the "if"

they best accept me

[wind nimbus]

i think they shld just lyk if u like dont make it to a committee or sumn

like auto reject

[drowsy glen]

THISS

[sweet gale]

yes

[long oak]

that would hurt. a lot.

[wind nimbus]

cuz atp then its like aiit cool hv a good day

[drowsy glen]

like fuck their stupid "we want the process to be anonymous" the stats would be so nice

[wind nimbus]

at least my hopes not up

[long oak]

fair

but also

[drowsy glen]

and it would be nice to know "ok i dont have a chance i wont waste my time" like

[wind nimbus]

"We regret to inform u" headass

[drowsy glen]

^^^^^

[long oak]

if you dont get the straight up reject

does that not get your hopes up too

[wind nimbus]

"our most competitive year"

like

[drowsy glen]

"unfortunately" and they got a 950 on the sat

[wind nimbus]

yall kno thats not tru

[wind nimbus]

xD

[wind nimbus]

well yes

[long oak]

yo chill

[sweet gale]

they should just post a list of everyone who got accepted. don't email. don't update the applicant portal with personalized info. just a list of every admitted student that u have to scroll through and shuffle alphabetically to find ur name

[wind nimbus]

but for example i ed columbia and got rejected

[long oak]

dont do me like that

[wind nimbus]

idk if i was like right there or had no chance

[drowsy glen]

sat is cringe nonsense bro dw

[sweet gale]

same, rejected penn

[drowsy glen]

i hat ethat shit

[wind nimbus]

so now idk if im ivy level or if i shld measure expectations

[sweet gale]

REAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wind nimbus]

cuz on one hand it might jus be a columbia thing

on the other it might not be just them

[sweet gale]

penn def did not even consider me fr <3

[wind nimbus]

so id rather kno

[long oak]

i dont care anymore

if i get rejected from everything

i cry

[sweet gale]

UT im comin for u'

[drowsy glen]

like i just wish the stats around colleges includes shit like "we wont accept students below xyz" so you know whos legacy or insanely rich to mitigate that and shit

[wind nimbus]

i have va tech at least

[sweet gale]

(please give me my major)

[wind nimbus]

tru

[drowsy glen]

are you in state for vtech??

[wind nimbus]

oos cs im cooked

[long oak]

honestly speaking tho idk if ill have the energy if i get rejected from both umich and cmu tho

[wind nimbus]

ye

[drowsy glen]

yooo

[sweet gale]

u got tis bro

[long oak]

if i get into umich ill have a comfortable fallback

[wind nimbus]

nova?

[long oak]

if i dont, im out of targets for rd

[tawny prism]

y’all trust common app too much idk.. me personally i do not trust their little money hungry hands when they say feb 10th!!

[drowsy glen]

BRO

lmfao yeah

tj reject <3

[wind nimbus]

im richmond lmao

[wind nimbus]

ong

[wind nimbus]

ah unfortunate

[drowsy glen]

nicee nice

[tawny prism]

also my common app doesn’t even say feb 10th so i just submitted nos

[long oak]

💀 tjs cracked

[wind nimbus]

tbh id rather not

[drowsy glen]

nah its chill like im ngl

[wind nimbus]

go there

[tawny prism]

tbh i was tired of overthinking the supp anyways

[sweet gale]

IM SCARED WHY WOULD COMMON APP LIE

[vernal raven]

if its not feb 10 im reaching out to my admissions officer friend and getting upset

[drowsy glen]

2 people in my ms got accepted and the one dude who aws actually qualified left

[wind nimbus]

fair

[drowsy glen]

and the other dude

[tawny prism]

AO FRIEND? bestie tell them to let me in!!

[long oak]

i hope you know

[drowsy glen]

to be nice im just gonna say he definitely has a lot of braincells

[long oak]

colleges want ppl

to apply

[vernal raven]

im not actually friends with an admissions officer i just email one specifically a lot lol

[long oak]

and get rejected

[sweet gale]

finna copy paste my personal statement into the supp atp

[tawny prism]

oh lmao 😭

[wind nimbus]

apparently it makes college apps a nightmare cuz they compare u to ppl from ur hs

[long oak]

the lower the acceptance rate

the more prestigious they look

[drowsy glen]

i know it isnt helpful to the colleges but fuck them

[long oak]

LOL

[wind nimbus]

LOL

[vernal raven]

i wish she was my friend, shes more like an aquitance or however u spell the word

[wind nimbus]

auto admit

[long oak]

💀

[tawny prism]

if this helps me and dugat both used the yale idea that excites you supp and then added the why cornell afterwards

[long oak]

me going to a competitive hs be like:

[drowsy glen]

no bc tj kids are on fucking crack and their school jsut feeds into like every stem school

but also their counselors are like

[sweet gale]

no one in my school ever gone ivy so im either ballin ⛹️ or bawling 😢

[drowsy glen]

trained to help w/ suicidal students to my knowledge??

[tawny prism]

this is so real

[wind nimbus]

yo wut

[long oak]

we feed a lot but like ahhhh its terrible competing against other tryhards

[vernal raven]

this is nice asf for me bc my highschool is zero comp 😭

[sweet gale]

im applying to diff major at yale and cornell which so sad

[drowsy glen]

like they have people for mental health but the counselors also have to be like "its ok to not be val" bc so many kids drop out or self abort there

[wind nimbus]

mine is only comp for uva and va tech lmfao no one goes oos here

[long oak]

thats very concerning

yikes

[wind nimbus]

ye nah

[sweet gale]

im val and god forbid penn even take a singular glance at my appplication

[long oak]

my school is bad but not that bad

[wind nimbus]

i get it tho cuz everyone there is lowkey val lvl at a adiff hs

[drowsy glen]

plus if you arent in fcps its complete ass doing ecs bc its already like an hour going to school one way which just means youre in a hypercompetitive environment and youre limited in how much you can do so like ???

makes me glad i was rejected

[wind nimbus]

ye doesnt seem worth

[tawny prism]

my school did not have many US applicants last year (when i was supposed to apply since i’m on a gap year) but this year i’ve discovered there’s lots of tryhards applying to the US 😭 get awayyy!!

[wind nimbus]

we hv sth similar over here

[tawny prism]

whatever this gap year is saving me tho

[wind nimbus]

lmfao

[wind nimbus]

whyd u take one if u dont mind

[sweet gale]

why would ur common app say feb 10th and mine not . is they trolling ,/!>>>!???!?!??

[tawny prism]

mental health meant i didn’t feel like i had enough time to apply last year and also i felt like if i went straight into college i’d burn out very badly very quickly

[wind nimbus]

i didnt think id see lots of va ppl here ngl

[drowsy glen]

once you submit it just says submitted and nothing else abt deadline ??

[wind nimbus]

fair enough hopefully ur better now

[tawny prism]

mine doesn’t either, i think it’s for people who sent the CA part before the jan 5th deadline

i sent mine a few days later

[sweet gale]

uh oh

[wind nimbus]

oof

[sweet gale]

so do i get feb 10th or not

LOL

[drowsy glen]

i mean fair, the tryhards at my school lowkey like

theyre smart but the way theyre going abt college apps i slike

??????????????????????

like cs major applying to harvard then forgetting they applied cs and talking abt business in their essays

[long oak]

i think honestly being in a hypercompetitive environment brings you down to earth a little

[wind nimbus]

the guy who got nominated for the jefferson scholarship at my school dead jus applied to uva, vtech and w&m

ppl jus love va ig

i jus wanna gtfo and ive only been here 2 yrs

[long oak]

like you realize that even tho in another school u could be val it doesnt necessarily mean ur ivy bound yk

[wind nimbus]

bro what

[drowsy glen]

bro i dont get it

[tawny prism]

i mean if you don’t have the supp even started you’re probably not gonna submit by the end of today anyways 😭 just submit asap bestie

[drowsy glen]

liek 70% of the people ik are just applying instate

or like

[wind nimbus]

yeah fs

[sweet gale]

i have it started just

[drowsy glen]

[tawny prism]

[drowsy glen]

like im applying here as a shitpost but damn

[wind nimbus]

like i get in state tuition and the school system is alright

but if ur smart and doin like cs no way ur settling for in state

[drowsy glen]

NO LITERALLY

[tawny prism]

[wind nimbus]

minor in creative writing (i write poems)

[long oak]

cs major moment

[sweet gale]

i applied biomedical engineering everywhere else so they're closer to that. but i didnt apply engineering to cornell bc i didnt get a math lor in time

[long oak]

so many cs ppl are phil ppl too i dont get it

[drowsy glen]

ITS SO INTERSTING

[long oak]

its like

[wind nimbus]

phil?

[long oak]

polar opposites too

[drowsy glen]

philosophy

[long oak]

philosoohy

[wind nimbus]

o

[drowsy glen]

no? idk

[long oak]

ibcan spell

[sweet gale]

philanthropy

[drowsy glen]

fuck that

[wind nimbus]

i thought this ngl

[long oak]

?

[drowsy glen]

fuck humanity we all die

jk

[wind nimbus]

thats y i was confused

[long oak]

i just read "i was fucked up" and then the message got deleted

[tawny prism]

im thinking i kinda should’ve applied COHE instead of CAS but it’s fine i’m fine

[long oak]

💀

[sweet gale]

im eat banana bread and forget cornell exist

[wind nimbus]

wut major?

[drowsy glen]

like i get logic being explored in phil but applying to cs but imalso just like unhealthily interested in antinatalism idk

[tawny prism]

also idk if COHE is less competitive than CAS….. maybe…. whatever too late now

[wheat dew]

this is my thinking w every school 💀

[tawny prism]

psychology in CAS, would’ve been human development in COHE

[wind nimbus]

fair enough

[sweet gale]

im talking about the chemistry behind glazing pottery and then gonna talk about self-studying chemistry in my essay ig.

[wind nimbus]

well if psych is ur first choice cas better

cuz switching schools hard

[drowsy glen]

lowkey i just like reading abt antinatalism rn and also peoples takes on morality

[tawny prism]

yeah id prefer to have psych on my degree but lots of the stuff i ended up researching and liked were COHE so idk anymore

[drowsy glen]

like i foudn this paper on antinatalism and moral particularism and THE AUTHOR IS JUST LIKE ME FR

[wind nimbus]

i hvnt read much phil tbh

[drowsy glen]

they list transfer reqs here https://internaltransfer.cornell.edu/
seems liek its possible but just a lot of work and annoying to go through the process but idk

[drowsy glen]

im just doing it bc i chose it for an eng paper

which lowkey im v behind on but the research part of it has been v interesting

[tawny prism]

eh not worth worrying about anymore i already sent the app for CAS in

ty tho!!

[drowsy glen]

npnp

[wind nimbus]

i wrote a poem cuz i was failing literature

now ive posted over a hundred online

[drowsy glen]

bro

how

[wind nimbus]

i liked it

so kept doin it

[drowsy glen]

:o big w

[wind nimbus]

most views ive gotten was like 1.3 k

[tame belfry]

i can confirm that my friend who applied cornell ed and got rejected fit that description 😂

[drowsy glen]

bro????

microcelebrity behavior

[wind nimbus]

this was from my cornell interview

[drowsy glen]

except idk how popular you hve to be to be a microceleb lol

[wind nimbus]

def not

its so hit or miss

either 80 views

[drowsy glen]

bro you gotta get in after that

[wind nimbus]

or over 500

[drowsy glen]

thats so nice

[wind nimbus]

cornell interviews dont matter much but bro was really cool

[sweet gale]

my penn interviewer was literally a robot

cs class of like '80 LOL

[wind nimbus]

ive had cornell and rice which were both rly good

[wind nimbus]

had law class of 81 for rice

explaining y i wanted to research ai was a bit sketch

cuz she was like she dont trust it

and i was like

um

well

it can help ppl so

[drowsy glen]

"ai is sentient" distrust or "ai is too capable" distrust ??

or a third mystery fear

[sweet gale]

my interviewer was chill he was just like. very formulaic

[wind nimbus]

too capable

like replacing jobs

[sweet gale]

i was tryna make it conversational and he'd turn it back into like a cookie-cutter interview lol

[drowsy glen]

i mean fair

[wind nimbus]

but i was talking bout using it to help ppl with mental health and specific research at rice thatd help me

[wind nimbus]

i aint hv too much that had to do with direct replacement more like a supplement

[drowsy glen]

like i get it lowkey given the people advancing ai research seem to be the same people who are capitalism whores who want to reduce operating costs instead of reducing the need for menial brain numbing tasks so people can actually like enjoy how they spend their time

like if it could supplement someones workflow and allow them to spend more time on the aspects on their job they like they why not have that

[wind nimbus]

sumn along those lines

how tf thatd work idk yet

[drowsy glen]

THATS SO COOL

thats genius actually

well

i kinda wonder how itd deal with like

going from "ok this should work its empathetic with our example" to actual patients

[wind nimbus]

mm

u need a large data set

thats y id say its more of a supplement to acc therapy

[drowsy glen]

yeah

[wind nimbus]

bc if it can learn patterns across a wide variety of patients

like hopelessness or dealing with loss

[drowsy glen]

i feel likethe variety of mentally ill under a single diagnoses would be a LOT

[wind nimbus]

and understand said problems

thats a start

[drowsy glen]

yeah

[wind nimbus]

ye

itd also have to adapt to each person

[drowsy glen]

like having an initial way to cope and i guess at least vent ?? but not treatment solutions

[wind nimbus]

cuz they cant self diagnose accurately

[wind nimbus]

yeah its not treatment

jus something to talk too

[steep cliff]

can i submit on the 10th?

[drowsy glen]

man imagine being like "yeah i was suicidal but i talked to some 0s and 1s and now im happy" that would be so wild for humanity

[wind nimbus]

the bigger problem is getting ppl to trust it

and "pretend" like its real

[wind nimbus]

xD

[wind nimbus]

the acc application or jus the essay

[drowsy glen]

probably yes
i think theres a link a few hours above (or half a day idk) but there is maybe an officail thing from cornell abt the essays being feb 10

however idk and its sus as hell and just see what your commonapp says probably

and do it asap regardless

[wind nimbus]

tbf this idea got the attention of both my interviewers cuz i tied in how each school could hep: professors, research, oppurtunities etc

hopefully aos cling on to it too

[steep cliff]

im stressing

[sweet gale]

LIFE IS SO HARD IM JUST A TEENAGE GIRL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my life goal is to sit at the edge of my front porch with the love of my life watching our two children (1 son and 1 daughter) play together in the heaps of fallen leaves

is that too much to ask for

[wind nimbus]

ye in this economy

[drowsy glen]

happiness and dreams? in this economy?

[wind nimbus]

maybe wen u pay off ur loans at 98

[sweet gale]

but my two children

[drowsy glen]

🤣 bro wants to support children

[sweet gale]

my boyfriend wants to name him kentaro

[drowsy glen]

i love america

[sweet gale]

what about kentaro

LOL

i love america

kentaro gon be broke as hell 🔥

[drowsy glen]

want to be a good parent
take time to learn abt parenting
make sure you dont traumatize your kid, end generational trauma, etc etc

kid is born

youre broke

kid grows up broke

bruh i fucked it up

but alas

antinatalists have a point me thinks!!!

[sweet gale]

discord hates greentext format

[tame belfry]

they said they do not review research and portfolios?

idk

for arts and science that is

^^

[leaden scaffold]

I submitted research there

If they don’t want to consider it that’s up to them

[tame belfry]

lol

did anyone submit art portfolio to cornell too?

[limpid ocean]

does my IAs + EEs for IB counts???

ib students

[steep cliff]

Finnally done... not getting in thoo

[tame belfry]

Has to be done with a faculty member

Some people do EE with profs lll

[limpid ocean]

hm

well

[limpid ocean]

😢

[limpid ocean]

hm

it cant be personal work?

with assistance of a prof?

[broken sierra]

if you're planning on submitting any ib coursework you need to ask your ib coord and inform your supervisor/teacher

from my coord, when i asked whether i could submit part of my EE:

[limpid ocean]

wait what

im confused

so i just send this thing to my counsellor and see if this thing doesn't violate plagirism or sth

before sending it to unis?

[toxic stream]

[limpid ocean]

[thick abyss]

Habitat for Humanity/my Quora space

[toxic stream]
