Cornell (SUNY Ithaca) (2022-2023)

[thick abyss]

This

But also just years of working in the service industry

[toxic stream]

Mmm

well

best of luck to you!

hopefully one day you'll be managing some 5-star resort 😆

[thick abyss]

Ahh ty

Im planning to go to business school after so I’ll probably shoot for cmo

[toxic stream]

Mmm that's cool too

do masters in hotel management even exist

[thick abyss]

Im not sure

But the Nolan school isn’t just hotel; it also includes accounting/marketing/etc

So I’ll probably try to go to like nyu business or Wharton idk yet

[toxic stream]

Alright, alright

i applied to CAS cause i don't have the right classes for AEM 💀

[fierce rivet]

Does anyone know how will it impact my application to the College of Engineering if I submitted a CS and English LOR? I did not know that we had to submit a Math LOR.

[long oak]

i think cs should be okay

also its not a requirement, its just a recommendation (no pun intended)

[fierce rivet]

Oh cool! Thanks a lot. I was a bit stressed about it.

[drowsy glen]

Yeah its not end of the world

I think i freaked out abt that here bc i had a cs and history teacher but its ok

[plain chasm]

lmfao fr

pls not have enough astro majors pls not have enough astro majors

[toxic stream]

i think i could get in for my minor

ain't nobody minoring in SEA studies w/ cs 🤣

[plain chasm]

YOUD BE SURPRISED

[toxic stream]

OH REALLY

[plain chasm]

SEA is pretty common

[toxic stream]

double minor tho?

focused on indonesian much less

[plain chasm]

minor doesn’t matter

it’s the field in general

[toxic stream]

idk in NYS only Cornell has it lol

[plain chasm]

wait are you talking about south east asian studies

[toxic stream]

yeah lmao

did you think I meant marine science 😭

[plain chasm]

💀💀💀💀

no that would’ve been less common

[toxic stream]

marine science or southeast asian studies

[plain chasm]

marine

[toxic stream]

mm

idk

i wrote very specifically about what I'd do lol

[plain chasm]

ok then ur good

i’m doing astro major policy minor

[toxic stream]

i connected CS and the Blockchain Club to Subak irrigation so yeah 🤣

[toxic stream]

very interesting

[tiny cobalt]

Sea studies in cornell goated

One of the largest asian collections in North America with a library dedicated to asian works

[limpid ocean]

damn

[toxic stream]

Fr it's OP asf

[toxic stream]

CMIP 😍

that and just like the omega meme that was the Cornell Paper lol

[rare kettle]

I'm so sorry I was asleep 🗿

[tawny prism]

no worries!!

[rare kettle]

did you get it submitted?

[tawny prism]

i did! not my best work but also not my worst ig

[rare kettle]

oh i'm sorry, i apologize for falling asleep

at 10 i'm out

[steep cliff]

I emailed Cornell, and they said this:

[thick abyss]

BRAD NO

R u my dad

[steep cliff]

Fake name btw

I’m scared Cornell will find my real name when I email questions

[thick abyss]

Wait u actually have them a fake name

LMAO

[steep cliff]

Yeah lol

[topaz aurora]

brad was the only name you could think of 😭 ?

[sweet gale]

thank you! what did you ask in your email? i was just curious if you brought up the feb 10th thing

[steep cliff]

they thought I was applying for a masters cuz brads such an old name

[steep cliff]

Here:

[sweet gale]

awesome

thank you for sharing

[tame belfry]

So the 3rd is the clear deadline for supplemental essay

Thanks

[steep cliff]

Np 😊

[plain chasm]

based af

so i guess they start reviewing feb 3

[steep cliff]

I guess

[plain chasm]

💀 time to procrastinate

[sweet gale]

it’s so weird that everything is saying diff things

[plain chasm]

💀💀💀💀

[sweet gale]

like release an official statement babe!!

[steep cliff]

Ikr

[tame belfry]

💀

[steep cliff]

I applied yesterday

[tame belfry]

Finals coming up lol

[plain chasm]

“til whenever we feel like reviewing”

[steep cliff]

I could’ve spent more time

[sweet gale]

me on February 2nd at 11:30pm

[tame belfry]

😂

Imma prolly gonna refine my essay after I submit Harvard loci

[steep cliff]

Gl

[tame belfry]

💀 i was grinding yesterday lol

[plain chasm]

harvard loci twinsies

i submitted my loci today

[topaz aurora]

how many extra people do they expect to apply?

[plain chasm]

✨

[topaz aurora]

like i doubt an extra 10k are gonna apply just bc deadlines extended

[plain chasm]

not much

lmfao

[steep cliff]

They haven’t downloaded my supp yet tho

[topaz aurora]

(please take me cornell)

[tame belfry]

Will they actually take more people this year or ?

With the new dorms

[steep cliff]

Doubt it

[topaz aurora]

dorms are decoration

[steep cliff]

Guys I have a question

I submit an architecture portfolio to Cornell that, has another schools name on the top, should I email them or should I just do nothing?

[thick abyss]

Maybe like 1 k

Extra 100,000 bucks

[tame belfry]

Did any one here submit art portfolio to college of arts and sciences?

[brave root]

it was due on 3rd i think

I was too late 😦

[plain chasm]

i was going to, but i think u needs an art rec for that

a lot of places are like “if you don’t have an extensive portfolio no need to submit”

[brave root]

also cornell has yet to respond to me email I sent them like 5 days ago

:/

[plain chasm]

could be that they don’t feel like viewing it

or it went to ur spam

[brave root]

they gave me "Thank you for your email and contacting the Undergraduate Admissions Processing Center. We are currently processing application materials and we will respond to your email as soon as possible.

You are welcome to log in to your Application Status Page for information about your application and updates from our admissions office."

but apparently they've already responded to other people?

[plain chasm]

huh

processing?

[quiet current]

ong bro public middle class school and nobody goes ivy because our education is ass

[sweet gale]

what state u in??

[quiet current]

ohio

[wind nimbus]

checks out

[pearl summit]

same lol, cant wait to be rejected

[limber granite]

im seriously hoping the supp isn't due yet

I literally can't push myself to even start the cornell supps rn

[wicked saddle]

Then like, don't ig😭

[tired void]

how do i submit the noncustodial waiver petition to cornell?

[steep cliff]

Don’t worry it’s due Feb 3

[quiet current]

i wouldn’t trust thatt

[drowsy glen]

feb 3 is coming from here

given how weird theyve been abt the date at this point an email from admissions is probably the most credible source LMAO

[tawny prism]

yeah me neither the email says you’ll be able to submit until then but not if you will or won’t be penalized/reviewed differently if you submit that late

much 2 think about

[viral crest]

are 2 lors required

[wicked saddle]

Anyone got his checklist on the portal??

[thick abyss]

Early feb

[wicked saddle]

A friend of mine has got his checklist like yesterday 🥲

Is that a bad sign for him or a good one for him

[wraith reef]

It literally means nothing stop trying to read into everything

[wicked saddle]

k.

[limpid ocean]

wait

wat checklist?

[thick abyss]

Dope I got mine too

Just checked^

@wicked saddle they’re probably just rolling them out

[limpid ocean]

wth is that checklist @thick abyss ????

i am confused

[thick abyss]

On the portal

Just like saying they received all of ur stuff

[limpid ocean]

hmmmm

can i see urs, if u dont mind?

[limpid ocean]

this one?

[limpid ocean]

ah i alr got that lol

[wicked saddle]

Yh I guess

[thick abyss]

Yup

[limpid ocean]

yall got me scared for 5 mins straight 🥲

[thick abyss]

Yeah they said they weren’t gonna release them for a bit but ig they started early

Wait @wicked saddle have u submitted ur supp yet

[wicked saddle]

Yhh, all done

[thick abyss]

Weird

Probs just haven’t done it yet I wouldn’t sweat

You should have it soon

[tawny prism]

yep i got mine too

[wicked saddle]

Yhh, I'll just wait it out

[limpid ocean]

@thick abyss our dream

is 10% done :))

we alr got our app for cornell done

now we pray

[thick abyss]

our dream

Neigh our reality

How many days left

[limpid ocean]

lol

it says early april

[meager kayak]

anyone have any tips for the loci

or has anyone already written one

[shell bobcat]

why are privates so late

early april

[brave root]

harvard said in my deferral letter that I'd get my decision on March 30, so wouldn't that be Ivy day?

[rare kettle]

Mhm

[wraith reef]

Yeah write it asap, it’s been a month since we got the deferral at this point

There’s some pretty good guides on the a2c subreddit wiki

Id check there first

[craggy folio]

which email do we send our LOCI to?

or how do u find ur regional AO's email if thats who we send it to

[broken sierra]

i uploaded mine under supplemental materials on the portal

[meager kayak]

My counselor told me to wait until late January to send it

He stressed heavily not to send it too early

[sharp bison]

would mid february be too late

to send loci

[rare kettle]

probably

why not now?

[wraith reef]

Uhhh I’ve never heard that but maybe he’s right idk

[rare kettle]

I’m curious, why?

[drowsy glen]

Yo uh

Yall think cornell cares if i send my mid year report kinda late

Bc my quarter isnt even over LMAO and my gpa is currently ass

[coral vessel]

When are midyears due for Cornell?

[drowsy glen]

Ig the better question is when do they start reviewing apps bc ,??

[coral vessel]

^^^^

I believe that Feb 10 is the supplementals deadline

So if you get it in by then you should be okay

[drowsy glen]

I mean yeah its judt like

[coral vessel]

But I'm not 100%

[drowsy glen]

Idek i thought that was the essays

Its alr tyty

[coral vessel]

Yeah I'm lowkey as lost as u loll

[drowsy glen]

I just need it to not be this month LOL

[coral vessel]

LOLL same here basically

[meager kayak]

not really sure tbh

[rare kettle]

i’m skeptical

cornell is not a girl that you’re not supposed to text back right away

[meager kayak]

i think it might be outdated info

because when nothing was digital they probably got swamped with letters right after decisions came out

[rare kettle]

ah, true

[limber kestrel]

How bad is it if I live in a major metropolitan area but haven't gotten a CAAAN interview email yet?

[coral vessel]

^

this.

maybe our major metro area is so fucking concentrated with cornell applicants

thats what it is

[humble meteor]

^^

[wicked saddle]

Not bad at all

None of these schools, especially Cornell, screen for interviews or anything

[craggy folio]

wait so for loci we dont email it to anyone right

[topaz aurora]

portal is fine

[lilac island]

i wonder if it will help if i make an actual visit to the campus and talk w the AOs (if this is possible)

[thick abyss]

Well

They don’t consider demonstrated interest

So no

And you likely couldn’t meet with AO’s

You just have to write a good loci and pray

[austere pendant]

see

this is something i have second hand experience w

my uncle got wailisted from cornell 3x in a row

the third time he flew out to ithaca

and met the dean

and then he got accepted from the waitlist

because the dean liked him

he even talked about it in his student address at the convocation of his class

[thick abyss]

Bro how

[austere pendant]

bro i don't know why he applied 3 years in a row

but he was hell bent on going

even though he got into berkeley

[thick abyss]

LMAO

Three gap years?

[austere pendant]

grad school

[wicked saddle]

wth

[lilac island]

hav to respect dat

[chrome ember]

damn thats actually crazy

would that even work undergrad tho

[ancient ridge]

no

i mean maybe

[coral vessel]

this shit only works in grad

no it wouldn

[plain chasm]

it works in undergrad if you take out a $50m loan and donate it to cornell

[coral vessel]

true

[lilac island]

muh

then you dont even need to see the dean

[meager kayak]

loci sent🙏

[wraith reef]

gj

[plain chasm]

HUH

LOL

ah shit

[wicked saddle]

mmm

so they have to be sectioning off the people who submitted on time

this is before the supplemental deadline

[plain chasm]

probably

[thick abyss]

Yeesh that’s not good

[plain chasm]

wait they want to send me to committee?

i’m confused

so i got a first read without my writing supplement in?

my mid year won’t be available until feb 3

ngl i don’t care about cornell that much

but i am still going to get my sup in asap

[wind nimbus]

o shi i got it too lmfao

[wind nimbus]

u hvnt submitted yet?

[plain chasm]

haven’t submitted

been busy af

i don’t think it’ll do anything to my app i just think they won’t review it yet

[wind nimbus]

i legit sent my councellor reccomendation through parchment AND they got my transcript and school report but apparently cant find my reccomendation

[wind nimbus]

fair

probs want to asap tho

[plain chasm]

yeah i think i’ll do that once the sem ends 💀

this week is hellish for me

[wind nimbus]

if u need help w the essay then igu

[wind nimbus]

wens that 💀

[plain chasm]

friday is when the semester ends

[wind nimbus]

o

if u get it by sunday

shld be fine

[plain chasm]

i think it’ll be fine

yea def can do it by sunday

[blissful relic]

On the Cornell interview portal, there are no slots left with A&S(which I assume is the College of Arts and Sciences)interview. I applied as a physics/math major within that college, so I'm not sure what to select for the interview then.

Should I just go with ENGR(which I assume is Engineering) since it is the closest?

[vernal raven]

theres a cornell interview portal?

[tawny prism]

so i guess the supp deadline isn’t feb 10th after all?

[hexed snow]

should i email the loci or submit via the portal or do both?

[olive cloak]

yoyo

[topaz aurora]

only portal should be fine

[wraith reef]

Oh me too

It’s a weird semester schedule

[wicked saddle]

can you link the portal

[blissful relic]

It’s only for applicants in my state to schedule a time with the interviewer at a local library:

[feral wren]

How does submitting mid-year grades work?

Do I ask my school counselor or something?

[wind nimbus]

Do u use any software to upload?

[wind nimbus]

Otherwise yes

[feral wren]

We don't have naviance or whatever that's called, so probably not.

[wind nimbus]

i mean my school use parchment

i mean id say ask ur councilor but u probably shldve figured it out a while ago

[feral wren]

I was gonna ask her anyway, but I don't really have a ton of support for this at my school 🤷‍♂️

[wind nimbus]

ah i see

well if u got questions or sumn i can help u out (if its jus app related)

[feral wren]

ty

[olive cloak]

Is this cornell uni

What is this suny ithaca

[sweet plover]

its a joke that calls cornell a suny

there is no suny in ithaca

[open glen]

Technically some of the schools in Cornell are part of the SUNY system

So not entirely wrong

[coral vessel]

Yeah true

[wind nimbus]

How much can bad mid year (too many Bs) mess u up : |

[thick abyss]

How many B’s

And did u get B’s in those courses before?

[wind nimbus]

like 5 (all high Bs) had some real life stuff so time messed me up

[plain chasm]

universities only care about sem averages?

not quarters right

[thick abyss]

I’d explain what happened

5 is a lot

[wind nimbus]

ig calc yes the rest r pretty new

[thick abyss]

But you can explain it

[wind nimbus]

ye

[thick abyss]

Some ea use quarters

[plain chasm]

rd?

[thick abyss]

Rd is just semester

[plain chasm]

I got 4 B+s first quarter but i’ll have all As except art

[wind nimbus]

idk if moving and other shi is valid enough but imma try

[plain chasm]

but lmao art is art

🤷‍♀️

so i think they’ll be fine with the B+ sem average

[wind nimbus]

I was mostly As but a span of 2 weeks tanked most my courses below 90

[plain chasm]

felt

that was me first quarter

I also got a B+ in math second quarter 😔

school math

[wind nimbus]

bc?

cuz same

[plain chasm]

nah i got an A in multi

IB math SL was the B+, but i got an A+ first quarter so it averages to an A

[thick abyss]

Moving isn’t that valid

Other stuff could be

It wouldn’t be THE thing to get u rejected tho

Would have to be a combo of stuff

[wind nimbus]

thats pre much most of it cuz ion rly wanna talk bout that here ig

[wind nimbus]

ye i mean i think rest of my app is solid

[thick abyss]

Nah ur valid

Im sure you’re okay

[wind nimbus]

ye

[plain chasm]

and schools don’t care too much abt an A versus an A+ difference?

as long as it doesn’t change my uw

[thick abyss]

No

Many hs don’t offer A+ anyways

[plain chasm]

kk

bro my english teacher is on something

he keeps just putting in 0s for me and giving me 100s

on schoology

but 0s in my grade portal

💀

sir. i turned this is on time and you gave me an 100

[wind nimbus]

welp

[plain chasm]

fuck i’ll be .2 off from an A sem avg in physics

imma have to beg

i don’t think all of the grades are in but

this is not good

[tame belfry]

lol we are having our sem one IB mock exams

[plain chasm]

SAME

😭

[tame belfry]

☠️ grinding hard for mid year

[plain chasm]

[wicked saddle]

[plain chasm]

I did a math EE 😔

[tame belfry]

Predicted grades 💀

[plain chasm]

LMAOOOOOOOO

[tame belfry]

Hopefully don’t drop from early

🤲

[tame belfry]

☠️

[plain chasm]

do you get predicteds instead of mid years

we don’t get to see our predicteds

[tame belfry]

We get predicted as well as mid years

[plain chasm]

because our teachers claim it’s bad practice 💀

[tame belfry]

So two set of grades lmao

[plain chasm]

so we don’t submit predicteds

[tame belfry]

So you guys don’t have predicted ..

[plain chasm]

nope. but i have gpa

so i do get a midyear

[tame belfry]

Bruh predicted make stuff look so bad smh

For us

[plain chasm]

mine would too 💀💀

trust

[tame belfry]

A 93+ is a 6

[plain chasm]

oml

that’s awful

[tame belfry]

☠️

[plain chasm]

ours is roughly 90+ = 7 80+ = 6

[tame belfry]

97+ is 7

[tame belfry]

Raw right

Or converted

Our system is complex asf

[plain chasm]

converted

[tame belfry]

Wtf

[tawny prism]

ngl i’m gonna watch singles inferno with english dub

[tame belfry]

☠️

Ggs

[tawny prism]

my tiny brain can’t take having to read while watching reality TV

[plain chasm]

dude our classes are insane

[tawny prism]

oh wait

[plain chasm]

but there’s a little bit of inflation

[tawny prism]

this isn’t gen

mb

[plain chasm]

it’s just that out teachers are hella harsh

and most ppl fail out anyway

[tame belfry]

Lmao in my physics class people who are getting first place in physics contests are getting 60s and 70s on tests

Jajaj

[plain chasm]

💀 no but me too

i’m just lucky we get to do corrections

[tame belfry]

☠️

Labs…

[plain chasm]

labs r my saving grace

except for lab reports

kms

good thing we only have ee rough draft due tonight

[tame belfry]

☠️

[plain chasm]

[tame belfry]

Our EE rough was due like

[plain chasm]

EE? probably gonna be a D

lmfao

[tame belfry]

☠️

[plain chasm]

math ee things

🥰

i’ve been fr asking chatgpt for help on my proofs too

chatgpt is cracked for specific proofs

i’m trying to do smth rlly complex with an unconventional proof method and i had no clue how to go from a specific equation to the next step and chatgpt my beloved did it perfectly

[long oak]

bro-

💀

[plain chasm]

nono listen

it’s not writing the full proof for me 💀

[wind nimbus]

"hear me out"

[plain chasm]

i just get really confused

my paper isn’t just proofs either

i’ve just been trying out this really fucking unconventional proof and it’s batshit hard

to put in simple terms

[long oak]

🤔

interesting interesting

[plain chasm]

ik kids who literally chatgpt’d their entire ee

💀💀💀

that’s smth else

[tame belfry]

Lmao

[tame belfry]

Lmao they can get a C with chat

😂

[plain chasm]

PROBABLY

except for math ee

unpredictable mf ee subject

i’m doing shit on stokes theorem and i asked my advisor (math teacher) about it and he said he had no clue what it was

or green’s theorem

[tame belfry]

…

[wind nimbus]

shi me neither

[plain chasm]

it’s multi

[plain chasm]

i mean tbh he only took to calc 2 i think

lmao 😭

he said my reviewer would have to google these things becuase thehre so complex

i started with a riemann sum

[long oak]

is it double integral or smth

i vaguely remember this

from my friend talking about it

but i also havent gotten up to that in multi yet

were still on parametrics and stuff 😭

[plain chasm]

yeah

stokes came at the end of multi

it’s flux in 3d

[hexed snow]

anyone who uploaded loci to their portal, how did you guys named the document?

[topaz aurora]

(name) letter of continued interest

[hexed snow]

we dont have to add reference number in the title of the doc right?

i added it at the bottom of the letter

[topaz aurora]

idk i added it at the bottom only

and i had my full name in the title

[hexed snow]

k thx bro

[topaz aurora]

np

[hexed snow]

which college did u apply\

[topaz aurora]

cas for biological sciences

[hexed snow]

sounds nice im humec

[topaz aurora]

oh nice i considered that one too

but cas was bigger so i did that instead

[hexed snow]

yeah cas accepts a lot more ppl compared to humec

[broken sierra]

maths ee?

did you write one? 😭

[tawny prism]

way less humec applicants tho

i regret not applying humec

[plain chasm]

YES

😭😭😭

pls

[broken sierra]

LOL SAME

[plain chasm]

omg

ITS DUE TONIGHT

i’m so dead

[broken sierra]

i honestly enjoyed the process

[plain chasm]

• rough draft

so not awful

[plain chasm]

it’s very fulfilling but MY ADVISOR DOESNT KNOW THE MATH IM USING EVEN THO I STARTED WITH RIEMANN SUM

[vernal raven]

Whats due tn?

[plain chasm]

and it’s my math teacher

brooo

[broken sierra]

maths EEs are rare to come by woebddbs

[plain chasm]

because they always score badly

bc the graders are mathematically inept

[broken sierra]

dmdm?

[plain chasm]

sure

[broken sierra]

FOR FUCKING REAL

i read an example where the grader is literally clueless

[plain chasm]

🤓🤓 we want to see a complex topic!!

but we can’t understand it so FUCK YOU

[broken sierra]

🤓

[plain chasm]

nightmarish 😭😭

[limber granite]

aanyone else still haven't submitted the supp?

[wheat shadow]

yes bruh haven't submitted yet

i need to do that soon

cuz that email from two days ago scared me

[limber granite]

same i thought they didn't start reviewing them yet 😭

[wheat shadow]

yeahh i guess it makes sense cuz starting to review apps mid-feb doesn't seem realistic tbf

but like i was hopingg lmao

prob gonna try to submit supp today or tmr

[unborn ivy]

Who wants to attempt to make an ivy day icon for the server

[limpid ocean]

i cant do crap but i got the spirit to help 🙂 - can't edit anything

[thick abyss]

Sure

[unborn ivy]

ok lets see what u have

[thick abyss]

What are the stipulations

[unborn ivy]

I would ideally like A2C’s official lettering in it which I can send you if needed

[thick abyss]

Bet

I’ll make one this weekend

[tulip barn]

well

Cornell had to have started reviewing already

even tho the supp deadline is later

bc ivy day is like on the 30th

of March

[drowsy glen]

yeah htey had the checklists

[lilac island]

irrelevant

but

i got into umich eng today

still wanna try for cornell

tho

but michigan is my safety

[drowsy glen]

W

[jagged canyon]

omg congratssssss

[lilac island]

thanks, but i really want to go to cornell, like everybody else in this thread

[open glen]

CMU>Cornell

Not even a CS major

[lilac comet]

Does it say waived next to anyone else’s mid year report

[crimson vortex]

mine says received

[lilac island]

i dont go for cs specifically, just ece in general, computer things

[lilac island]

second this

[humble meteor]

got a cornell interview from a personal email and i cant find the person on linkedin or anywhere online 💀

kinda sus i get the email thing but i cant even find them 😭 prob just overthinking it tho

[limber kestrel]

i think you should call cornell

either the admissions office or like their interviewing office or whatever

just to confirm

idk if cornell's website explicitly says you can, but harvard's does so ik it's a thing you can do

esp if it's from a personal email

idk i might be overthinking tho

[humble meteor]

yeah i mean they are alumni and my friend also got a personal email so its not that weird

i just cant find her so kinda sus idk

[thick abyss]

Personal emails aren’t bad

Also she could be using her maiden/married name for diff things

[tiny cobalt]

mine sent my invite via personal email also

[limpid ocean]

me who got no interview 💃

[indigo moat]

me who got the silent treatment from colleges

[wind nimbus]

Cornell interviews don’t matter too much iirc

[tame belfry]

THE DUB METRIC

[indigo moat]

the only correct metric

[plain chasm]

The Indiscriminate Dub Metric (IDM) is a metric of tracking Dubs based on how concretely positive or negative their results are, often used in college decisions.

For use in college decisions:
+1 = Acceptance
+- .5 = Deferral
0 = Rejection

Where:
Deferrals = -.5 if they are likely to result in a rejection
Deferrals = .+.5 if they do not have effect, or are likely to result in an acceptance

When rejection occurs following a deferral, total the deferral to 0 in line with 0 = rejection

[wicked saddle]

What does dub mean 🥲

[thick abyss]

How do I know what mine is bae

Oh wait

8.5 dubs

[limpid ocean]

got one from my ed, which rejected me BTW 🙂

[limpid ocean]

damn

im like 2 dubs ish (have a +- for case but didnt submit their sup so prob -.5 lol)

have like

19 schools remaining

[limpid ocean]

damn 🥲

[plain chasm]

win

you can apply it to anything

[wicked saddle]

Oh ohhkay

[limpid ocean]

at this point

im not even sure if the Indiscriminate Dub Metric is a real thing or not 🥲

it sounds like a big joke but the name actually sounds educated (tho makes no sense)

[wind nimbus]

.5 : )

[plain chasm]

It’s real

[lilac island]

uh

i only applied to t20 eng schools

so my idm is 1

basically +1 umich, -.5 purdue, +.5 cornell

uh

waiting on like 5 more while michigan being my safety is just crazy

[plain chasm]

the idm is live

[open glen]

Even if you’re IS ain’t no way you’re calling mich a safety

😭

[lilac island]

my dad told me umich is my safety last yr

everybody at school including me thought it was a joke

it was now

proved to be real serious

[thick abyss]

Are u in state

[lilac island]

im intl according to the smurt af policy

[thick abyss]

Interesting

[lilac island]

but i lived in mich for like 4 yrs

paid all the taxes

[thick abyss]

Shocked an intl parent knows what mich is

OHHH GOTCHA

[lilac island]

na

[thick abyss]

ok yeah I could see target there then

[lilac island]

my dad knew nothing

he thought its super ez to get into mich

ikr, so we literally had the most crappy stats

but got directly into coe probably bc my teacher rec + robotics coach rec were from mich alumni(coe)

[thick abyss]

Brooo

Ok yeah safety then lmao

Obv with good stats/essays and everything

[wind nimbus]

this context is very important lmfa

[thick abyss]

BIG dub tho

[lilac island]

i mean, its the only school i got into so far

i hav 31 act

4.0 uw

no h/ap classes fresh/soph yr

[plain chasm]

umich is a good safety

[thick abyss]

Umich is a reach

But not with double connections

I’d say that prob helps a bit

[lilac island]

so my stats r actually rly bad ngl

[thick abyss]

4.0=bad

[plain chasm]

i thought gtech was a soft-reach/target for me til i got flat rejected

[lilac island]

all my friends in my phy class got in mich

[thick abyss]

I thought UNC was a hard reach until I got in

Stuff is crazy

[mossy obsidian]

college apps are so wack

fr

[plain chasm]

my reaction to my RDs all being more selective than gt

[mossy obsidian]

i got into better schools and rejected by “worse” schools

[mossy obsidian]

nah dw it dont mean nun

youll cop a good school

[thick abyss]

But not state schools

[wind nimbus]

xD

[lilac island]

[plain chasm]

I got 3 national awards after and an intl award in spring + revamped all of my shit so hopefully i’ll be fine

[wind nimbus]

[plain chasm]

✨

[thick abyss]

I think cornell is honestly easier than much

Michigan

(for the program I’m doing)

[plain chasm]

I applied AE for gt

everywhere else is astrophysics/astronomy/physics with policy 2nd interest

[wind nimbus]

ye same my rd>>> ea/ed in terms of the actuall application

[lilac island]

eng is hard everywhere tho

[wind nimbus]

i dont think itd be easy for almost anyone unless insane sstats+ in state

[plain chasm]

didn’t have in state

[wind nimbus]

which program

[wind nimbus]

i did cs in lsa

[plain chasm]

my ecs were good

[lilac island]

[thick abyss]

Hospitality school

And letters of rec from employers

[lilac island]

i hav no ecs

[wind nimbus]

[plain chasm]

I know one SSPer who got in GT

she applied for CS and had massive CS + robotics awards + near perfect gpa and act + first gen

[lilac island]

thats good

[plain chasm]

44/45 ib score too

but literally nobody else ik got in

[lilac island]

i won nothing from robotics, no awards, nothing

[plain chasm]

GT sucked

she got rejected UIUC cs too

[lilac island]

it still feels like a dream for me to get into mich...

[plain chasm]

and my other really cracked friend got deferred umich

[plain chasm]

what did u apply for

[thick abyss]

Everyone gets deferred fr

[lilac island]

coe

[plain chasm]

ic

[thick abyss]

So? You were a very good candidate nevertheless

[lilac island]

my stats r way below avg

[thick abyss]

Stop being so humble

[plain chasm]

i’m not sure what he applied for, but im thinking physics

[lilac island]

ah

[plain chasm]

1560 + 4.0 + startup where he teaches ukrainian orphans to code + internships + massive national awards

literally

we’re all getting fucked

[lilac island]

[plain chasm]

sheesh

harvard

✨

rd

[lilac island]

my friend who got 4.4 ig, 35 act, deferred from harvard got into mich w me

[plain chasm]

i was harvard deferred too

[lilac island]

he got rejected from nd

[plain chasm]

4.0uw 4.7w 32 act 👩‍🦯

[lilac island]

bet

[plain chasm]

even tho it’s the highest in my area

[lilac island]

anyway

last yr a girl i knew got deferred from umich lsa

my coaches wrote her a rec and shes in

[plain chasm]

look at this mess

[thick abyss]

Bruh

[plain chasm]

😭

[thick abyss]

U def have connections

Jelly

[plain chasm]

u gotta be like half asleep to get an 1000

[thick abyss]

Yeesh ur school

Not good

[plain chasm]

i still went t/o everywhere

[lilac island]

uh

[plain chasm]

have a 1410 sat

32 act

[lilac island]

i submitted my scores everywhere

bc the only bummer ab my scores

[plain chasm]

how can u tell we’re low income 💀

[lilac island]

is that i cant read

[plain chasm]

ohh

same

[lilac island]

i hav 34 eng, 34 math, 22 read, 34 sci

[plain chasm]

but tbh if i got like 35 math i would’ve submitted

ok definitely see why you submitted

[lilac island]

yep

[thick abyss]

Lmaooo

[lilac island]

i just never got to finish the reading

[plain chasm]

for me it was 35E/32M/28R/32S

so i just didn’t submit

my course rigor carries

[lilac island]

sec lang for me so i rly tried

[thick abyss]

Mine was 36R/35E/33S/31M

I just suck at math

[wind nimbus]

my schools is oddly similar

[plain chasm]

if I had a 1500+ sat i’d prolly get in somewhere

but i’m heavily handicapped rn

with no sat

[lilac island]

welp, my friends who got in all had like 35s and 36s

[wind nimbus]

acc nvm ( i got a 1500)

[plain chasm]

ur schools average is over national

mine is like 300 below national

[wind nimbus]

😭

[plain chasm]

hence why these mfs in policy see me as some fucking superhero

[wind nimbus]

our average is weird cuz we're a pretty big school

so the smart ppl r rly smart although i only met like 5 ppl with high sat/act scores

[plain chasm]

🦧 how girl from rural poor area smart? 🦧🦧

[wind nimbus]

but the low scores are rly fuckin low

[plain chasm]

literal monkey brain

[plain chasm]

ic

[wind nimbus]

mine is y this kid from africa have high score

lol

[plain chasm]

yeah our smart people are like t20 level

but there’s 3 of them

[wind nimbus]

real\

[tiny cobalt]

yea u fit cornell SHA than Ross

SHA is so niche but at the same time arguably best hospitality program in the world

[thick abyss]

Right

I would KILL to get in

[tiny cobalt]

tho fr

[thick abyss]

My boss had that degree from mich state and loved it

[tiny cobalt]

u should have ed sha

[thick abyss]

I should have

My parents talked me out of it

Which I regret now a LOT

[tiny cobalt]

idk if the stat is accurate but sha ed ar is like 50% or smth

tho i mean

very self selecting

[thick abyss]

Ik bae 😭

It’s a pipe dream

But my resume and essays r rly good

Got employer rec

And work 30-50 hrs a week in the industry

I’ll pray

[tiny cobalt]

tho i think u got alot going for u

[wind nimbus]

u got that lmao

[tiny cobalt]

since sha care about fit alot

and u have that

[thick abyss]

I pray

I wish they had interviews

I’m talking to a kid from sha today actually

She’s studying abroad in Italy rn

[wind nimbus]

well damn

[tiny cobalt]

so like is she exchanging at Bocconi

[thick abyss]

Oo I’m not sure

I’ll ask today, but what’s that again?

[tiny cobalt]

oh just a pretty good business program in italy

heard it is the best for business in mainland eu or smth

if she is actually exchanging

[thick abyss]

Ooo cool

[wicked saddle]

Damn less than 1%😭😭

I'm the only one in my class who got 1400+, idk about area

[plain chasm]

wish i took studying for it seriously

i was gone the entire summer then got back in august and literally died

started my internship literally mid-SSP

🤡

filled out all of my legal papers in the computer lab

came back did internship stuff, then i was like “fuck i have act in september”

and school started

so i studied for a week and got my 32

if push comes to shove i take a gap year and study + retake + job hunt this summer

[humble meteor]

dang

my district has 12 high schools and i can confirm each one has like 50 kids who got 1500s 💀

we had 130 nmsf or something 😭 😭

so bad

[wicked saddle]

💀 afaik we haven't had a nmsf

my psat was like 1350 so abs not

[wraith reef]

I know colleges like people like that but to me it just seems so disingenuous, like it’s so obvious the reason people do a lot of stuff like that is just to get into college

[wicked saddle]

yeah maybe they saw through

or the essays were garbage

[wraith reef]

Damn you have 13 acceptances already? That’s awesome, congrats

[wicked saddle]

tysmm, it's all safeties + one fit (Umiami) so far

[plain chasm]

nah. both his parents are ukrainians

they donate a lot of money through gofundme

also double mit legacy

so it makes sense there

[limber kestrel]

i mean yea

[wraith reef]

Idk im just saying how it comes across to me when I see people like that, I really doubt anyone wakes up one day thinking “I have a passion for winning a ton of national awards and getting multiple internships and creating a nonprofit”

[limber kestrel]

ill be honest like 70% of my time spent ECs is bc i have to for college

[wraith reef]

It feels so fake

[limber kestrel]

i'd be spending way more time on social media and w/ family and friends otherwise

[plain chasm]

ok definitely

[limber kestrel]

and like video games

[plain chasm]

but i mean for me

[limber kestrel]

ofc ill still do some side projects

[plain chasm]

at least i just love piano

[limber kestrel]

but yea that's it lwk

[plain chasm]

hence i pushed myself by entering comps

and also with my policy stuff, i saw an opportunity to better my school

so i took it bc my school is shit

[wind nimbus]

a lot of my ecs werent for college lmfao i aint even realized it mattered till this year

only one thats similar to the one he gave was i started a coding club back in nigeria which has been growing and gotten a lot of ppl into swe as well as a charity club for less fortunate ppl in our area

[plain chasm]

same with astro stuff

just love astro

[austere pendant]
