Cornell (SUNY Ithaca) (2022-2023)

[wind nimbus]

i didnt even take it cuz i saw no point 💀

[plain chasm]

i didn’t take psat until 11th grade i think

😭

[wind nimbus]

same but i was intl

[plain chasm]

i got a 1380 psat

and got commended ✨

[wind nimbus]

didnt even kno it was a thing

[wind nimbus]

think i got 1330-1380 ion remember

i slept through the math

[plain chasm]

as soon as i say this someone is going to shit on me and tell me i’m just lazy

but i’m genuinely just not good at standardized testing

it takes me a lot to do well on standardized tests and i don’t have the time to study every day for months

[wind nimbus]

mm

for me i think i put too much pressure on myself

in terms of sat and shi

[plain chasm]

idk maybe i just don’t have all that aptitude

[wind nimbus]

usually good at tests but id get like 1580 in prac and hit a 1410 on the real shit

[plain chasm]

i was getting consecutive 36s when i practiced for the act

[wind nimbus]

u smart af tbf

[plain chasm]

and then got a 32

lmfao

then i was like fuck it

and didn’t care

[wind nimbus]

idk how much lower that is cuz i aint take act

idk if i shouldve retaken for a 1600

[plain chasm]

1450

[wind nimbus]

maybe

[wind nimbus]

ah i see

[plain chasm]

i don’t have the aptitude

studied for a week 😔

took 3 practice tests

[wind nimbus]

u got it in damn near everything else

[wind nimbus]

u said a week 😭

[plain chasm]

yeah

it was a lot of time!! i studied a lot!!

😭

[wind nimbus]

u def hv the aptitude

[plain chasm]

shhh

[wind nimbus]

ppl be on that bih for months

[plain chasm]

yea if i studied for a month i could probably have gotten higher

[wind nimbus]

technically mine was a while between tests but id say i took maybe a month

but really studied like a week

[wind nimbus]

ye

well u got it in damn near everything else lmfao

[plain chasm]

nah

[wind nimbus]

fym

[plain chasm]

i got my performance report today

from my boss

and she was like

☺️ i don’t think you could ever be exemplary at work because you’ve got so much shit on your plate but you’re damn near close

not exemplary

average worker 😔

did i tell u i got permission from my district to collect research from all of the secondary schools

[wind nimbus]

nah

[plain chasm]

so i’m working on that now and hoping for 500-1000 responses

at minimum

[wind nimbus]

bruh 😭

ur ec list

[plain chasm]

then i’ve gotta sort that shit

[wind nimbus]

i cant

[plain chasm]

😭

[plain chasm]

it’s

not that good

[wind nimbus]

u wanna see mine?

[plain chasm]

and you don’t want to see how i described them in commonapp

i’m fr inept

[plain chasm]

sure

[wind nimbus]

mid asl

[plain chasm]

that’s better than my ec list

i’m being fr

[wind nimbus]

i dont believe u

[plain chasm]

it shows character

mine is bland asf in terms of showing character

[wind nimbus]

not rly impressive tbf

it ties in to ome of my essays but in terms of technical difficulty its just there

and where i was before not much opportunity to do anything so did all i could ig

[blissful relic]

Yeah, the way you worded your ECs is pretty good. Mine seems pretentious looking back on it.

[plain chasm]

i described them so blandly

and completely forgot to mention my senate stuff

writing update supplementals for that, and the fact that i’m constructing my own exhibition for art

it’s embarassing that SSP was my #1

that shouldn’t have happened

[wind nimbus]

mm fair enough my dad helped me thankfully

[wind nimbus]

50 hours a week is wild 😭

[thick abyss]

Omg what job

[plain chasm]

i underreported hours

[plain chasm]

intern for higher education office

[thick abyss]

Sick

[wind nimbus]

tbf i see wym by the wording but its far from bad, urs have way more relevance to what u want to do

[blissful relic]

Mine is cluttered with fragmented sentences and semicolons. It is pretty hard to read, but my parents kept insisting I do that to pack as much information as possible in(deleting spaces, etc. to decrease word count)

[plain chasm]

i’m ngl 99% i’m going to end up at university of arizona because i didn’t word my shit correctly :(

[thick abyss]

Shush

[plain chasm]

and that was REVAMPED

[thick abyss]

That’s not true

[wind nimbus]

ye the word count was kina fucked

[plain chasm]

i should have done this

[wind nimbus]

tbf if u dont get any of ur reaches id be very fucking suprised

[thick abyss]

Readability>packing confusing stuff in

[wind nimbus]

lmfao

[plain chasm]

it’s NOT GOING TO HAPPEN

[plain chasm]

you don’t want to see what i submitted to gt

😭

[wind nimbus]

well if u dont im FUCKED

[thick abyss]

@plain chasm what was ur dub

[wind nimbus]

o nah my ea apps were fuckin horrible

i didnt even know a2c existed

[blissful relic]

I don’t know, it’s useful on some things where you really need the space, but really bad to do on others because it makes it hard to read and looses person ability.

[wind nimbus]

raw dogged that shi

[wind nimbus]

i mean wut bout ur additional comments

[thick abyss]

Can you give an example? I can’t imagine that is that confusing

[plain chasm]

i just put more substantial ecs in

this was my old list

[wind nimbus]

btw ur common app code in this ss, not sure if anyone can do anth with it but yk

[plain chasm]

ah shit ur right

AND MY FULL NAME

LMFAO

[wind nimbus]

xD

[plain chasm]

uhhh

[wind nimbus]

ye dont doxx urself

[thick abyss]

BRO

[plain chasm]

me when CA doxxes me

ok what is that

[thick abyss]

Vivek that makes zero sense 😭

[wind nimbus]

no space is crazy to me

[plain chasm]

me when I

Fundraised. >300bks&

[blissful relic]

Yeah

[wind nimbus]

😭

[thick abyss]

Vivek what does fundraised 10>300 bks mean?

[blissful relic]

I deleted it because I don’t want to share personally identifiable information,

[blissful relic]

Referring to books/textbooks

But I wanted to save a couple characters

[wind nimbus]

oh

[thick abyss]

But 10-300?

Why such a large range

[wind nimbus]

u mean 10 to 300

[blissful relic]

Oh, meant an arrow

[plain chasm]

😭

vivek

[thick abyss]

😭

[wind nimbus]

wait im still confused

xD

[thick abyss]

What does fundraising entail too

[wind nimbus]

u mean u improved it from 10 to 300??

[thick abyss]

I think they got it from og ten to 300?

[wind nimbus]

or like

[blissful relic]

Correct

[wind nimbus]

oh

ngl shldve put that shi in additional info

[blissful relic]

I didn’t realize how confusing that was, I hope colleges understand what I meant lol

[wind nimbus]

wouldve been way better off

[thick abyss]

Are any of your other descriptions like that?

[blissful relic]

I used that to say more about my research

[blissful relic]

All of them are

[thick abyss]

☠️

[wind nimbus]

bruh

[wind nimbus]

hv u goteen any schools back? 😭😭

this makes sense tbf

[blissful relic]

That one is the only one which isn’t as bad

[wind nimbus]

did u do 10?

[thick abyss]

1. Not as bad at all
2. Your ec’s seemed to be a bit limited in duration lmao

[plain chasm]

do you think how i described my ecs is not good

like will hinder me

[blissful relic]

I’m graduating early, so everything is until 11

[thick abyss]

Yeah no this makes like zero sense mate

[plain chasm]

i feel like i could’ve described shit a lot better

[thick abyss]

Tbh it won’t get you rejected

It’s just like “wtf” moment

[blissful relic]

That one I think is my worst

[thick abyss]

But def not the end and I bet yours were fine

[wind nimbus]

probs not tbf, wont work against u just that some missing context might undermine it

but at the bare minimum the general idea was there but i think u explained it well enough

[blissful relic]

Do you think I could get rejected over the way I worded these ECs(if they don’t understand them)

[wind nimbus]

i was with u till the end lmao

[wind nimbus]

no

[thick abyss]

You probably expanded on a few in essays

You’ll be ok

[plain chasm]

fuck

[thick abyss]

Also grammar thing but don’t end on a semicolon lmao

[plain chasm]

which part of it tho

i talked about a good deal of them in my essays

[blissful relic]

I did expand on the library thing as it’s own essay

[plain chasm]

esp the first 4-5

[wind nimbus]

idrk tbf do u think u made it seem less impressive than it was in actuality

[plain chasm]

😭😭😭😭😭

yes…

[wind nimbus]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[blissful relic]

But I spent 15 mins on my application because I started at 11;40

[plain chasm]

ugh i hate myself

[wind nimbus]

in that case then

[thick abyss]

VIVEK

[plain chasm]

boutta get myself rejected because i didn’t jazz my ecs up

[wind nimbus]

it wont work against

[wind nimbus]

hold on which school

istg if u say cornell 😭😭

[wind nimbus]

everything else impressive enough that u got nun to worry bout tbh

and the list is good in and of itself

[blissful relic]

Cornell(15 mins). Garvard(30 mins), Princeton(40 mins), Yale(30 mins), UPwnn(10 mins). Caltech(10hrs), Brown(10 mins)

[plain chasm]

this is the main ec that i put on EVERY app

[thick abyss]

Bro

[wind nimbus]

1. is this all the same night
2. YOU HAD LIKE A MONTH EXTRA FOR CORNELL

[plain chasm]

and still didn’t mention the senate stuff bc that was recent recent

[thick abyss]

Why would you do that AGAIN AND AGAIN

[blissful relic]

But the caltech 10 hrs includes the common app essay as well.

[plain chasm]

how the fuck

[wind nimbus]

ye its a rly good ec

[thick abyss]

Vivek have you gotten any decisions back

I can’t imagine you wrote good essays in 10 min

[plain chasm]

vivek’s an auto accept

[thick abyss]

If so, holy crap

[wind nimbus]

masters in procrastination

[blissful relic]

I got deferred from MIT. My essays were beyond terrible as I did them all the day of in like 1-2 hrs

[wind nimbus]

im impressed

wut r ur stats

[wind nimbus]

Huh I havent seen anyone appy to Garvard or UPwnn are they good schools?

[plain chasm]

y’all think the AOs are just going to realize i’m not that good at writing and my ecs are pretty good

[blissful relic]

1580 sat(800 math). 4,0, 4.89W, 15-20 college classes with 4.0, at a fourth year undergraduate standing at state college. in the process of publication, presented at international conferences. President of some clubs)including math clib), but I couldn’t compete in the competitions due to medical problems that coincided. I also do a lot of tutoring stuff.

[thick abyss]

There you go

You’ll get in for stats lmao

[blissful relic]

Also team lead in robotics for programming, but we didn’t make worlds so…

[wind nimbus]

not the end all b all

[thick abyss]

Were ur essays for rd good?

[plain chasm]

i fr thought my stuff was fire 🤦‍♀️

but then again, i thought this essay was fire:

I am applying to SSP in hopes of being able to gain more lab experience which will further prepare me for college, in which I would like to pursue aerospace engineering. I am also interested in collaborating with peers from all over the world to expand my own global perspective and improve my interpersonal skills, as well as challenging myself and expanding my own knowledge of the universe.

and it got me in

[wind nimbus]

ur def more favoredd for stats heavy schools

[plain chasm]

yeah

pretty decent

[wind nimbus]

ur fine

[thick abyss]

You’re fine then

[wind nimbus]

beyond fine

[thick abyss]

Some schools are rly not stats heavy

Cornell is p essay heavy tho

At least for business

[wind nimbus]

ye for certain schools if u cant write id imagine ur fucked

[plain chasm]

i’m hoping to find a medium

[wind nimbus]

i got that feeling from colombia cornell and brown

[plain chasm]

because i didn’t submit act for most schools

[wind nimbus]

but caltech uva umd

dgaf bout the essays

[thick abyss]

Def

[plain chasm]

fr?

[thick abyss]

Especially bc they love resumes

[plain chasm]

caltech?

[thick abyss]

Caltech is ALL stats

[wind nimbus]

def seemed more like how good of an engineer r u

[plain chasm]

damn

[wind nimbus]

than how will u contribute to our community

yk

[plain chasm]

tf

that makes me fr sad i wrote a ton on educational outreach

[tulip barn]

I’m a student at Cornell

[thick abyss]

Wait aren’t you a hs senior

[tulip barn]

Yes

I’m manifesting 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[thick abyss]

Gotcha agreed

[wind nimbus]

this was the only "good" part of my essay

[thick abyss]

I’ll be in ny later this year

[wind nimbus]

real

[wicked saddle]

Why wouldn't the caltech essays matter-

[plain chasm]

that is fire

[plain chasm]

fr lmao especially since they’re test blind

[tulip barn]

My Cornell supp lowkeu fire

[thick abyss]

If anyone wants to laugh, read my unc supp

So controversial but got me in

[wicked saddle]

And honestly imo, your ec description shouldn't be the end all be all

[wind nimbus]

outside of 3 idk it doesnt seem like they care all that much but urs kind of fits in that nobel prize lane

if u wrote on research at least a lil i think ur fine

[thick abyss]

Which school

[wicked saddle]

Especially if you elaborated further in your essays

[tulip barn]

Dyson

[thick abyss]

Nice I’m sha

[plain chasm]

end all be all will be my grades 🐱

[wind nimbus]

i mean ig

the rest of it was yk

[plain chasm]

they’re going to see the B+ in art and autoreject 😈

[wind nimbus]

i thought urs was insane

[wicked saddle]

Please I got a C one semester on gym because I didn't show my face on camera in quarantine

[wind nimbus]

i have a B+ in calc and stat

[wicked saddle]

I hope they looked past that

[wind nimbus]

mid year grades feel unfair

[plain chasm]

i have a 4.0 uw 4.7w with 31 college/college equivalents yea

but i got a B+ in art this year 🙀 they’re going to 🔥 me! ??

[wind nimbus]

leave me alone i had a bad semester ok

[wind nimbus]

...

😐

[wicked saddle]

I ate down 1st semester this year

Glad to submit tbh

[wind nimbus]

course rigor shld be enough

(im coping)

[plain chasm]

not enough to get me in

[wind nimbus]

aint u on multi

[thick abyss]

Me too

[plain chasm]

finished multi

[thick abyss]

Got a 5.3 first semester I believe

[plain chasm]

taking discrete

[wind nimbus]

...

my school oonly goes up to bc

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[plain chasm]

same

well no

mine only goes up to AB

[wind nimbus]

howd u get so high

[plain chasm]

but i dual enrolled

[wind nimbus]

ah i see

[plain chasm]

i have 2 college transcripts

[wicked saddle]

I got a 5.13 with all as, counselor said that's the highest semester GPA anyone achieved at our school with like 4 others in the past

[wind nimbus]

my cc is close to my school so unless i finished bc i couldnt yk

but like i transfered

so

had to get credits

[plain chasm]

my first semester is like a 5.0-ish

[thick abyss]

Our top is 5.33

[plain chasm]

does your guys go up to 5.25

[wind nimbus]

our gpa doesnt change till end of year

[plain chasm]

same

[wind nimbus]

4.7 i believe

cuz of required courses and we only hv 7 a year

[wicked saddle]

☠ imagine flexing a 5.33 gpa casually

[plain chasm]

the absolute maximum you can achieve here is a 5.25 but there’s no way to achieve it

since you can’t just take AP/IB/DE courses

[wicked saddle]

Yeah same here

[plain chasm]

we have requirements

[thick abyss]

LMAOOO

[wicked saddle]

We're limited with 3 ap courses per year

[plain chasm]

the maximum achievable is likely a 4.8

[tulip barn]

My mid year is As and Bs and I’m lowkey fine with it

[wind nimbus]

me wen i couldve grad with 1 course

[thick abyss]

My school has a million levels so it makes sense if you go here

[tulip barn]

Last year I would’ve bawled myself eyes over it

But rn I’m fine

[wicked saddle]

Highest GPA in our schools history was a 4.88 iirc

[thick abyss]

Character growth

[tulip barn]

Frrrrr

[wicked saddle]

Freshman year and sophomore year lacks ap opportunities

I got a 4.77 so close enough ngl

[plain chasm]

im not entirely sure here but the top 2 usually approximate 4.7 weighted every year with max course rigor

because you are loaded with standard level classes your first 2 years

we have like 8 required standard level classes

which fucks your gpa

[wicked saddle]

We only get one ap freshman and sophomore year

[calm wyvern]

lol i have bible required

[wicked saddle]

You can load honors but that's it

Then you have 2 regs with fine arts and gym

[wind nimbus]

oof

[plain chasm]

same except i petitioned for and got a second sophomore year

[thick abyss]

Same here

But level 4=AP

[tulip barn]

We aren’t allowed APs freshman year and then soph year we r only allowed one

[thick abyss]

just no credit

[wicked saddle]

Wack

[wind nimbus]

my gpa is 3.9 w but got fucked from transferring from intl

[wicked saddle]

Junior year was just trash for me

Band messed with my scheduling

[wind nimbus]

so 0 hon/ap pre-junior year

[wicked saddle]

So I only took dual credits

[tulip barn]

Ya same I fucked up my gpa jr year

[wind nimbus]

so 1 year of weighted with 3 aps and 3 honors

smh

[wicked saddle]

Probably would've been #1 if that didn't happen but oh well

[plain chasm]

same but soph year

[wicked saddle]

My GPA was limited at like 4.75 while my friend could get a 5.0 semester gpa because she was in strings and had better ap access

[plain chasm]

i didn’t care about A+s and got behind

💀 BRO THEYRE TRYING TO LOAD MY RESEARCH WITH MENTAL HEALTH STUFF

[wind nimbus]

me wen i didnt know what a gpa was till end of last year

[wind nimbus]

wym

[plain chasm]

“we could definitely just put a photo here and connect the lack of preparedness to mental health issues and i could talk about my mental health here”

[wind nimbus]

we didnt hv them intl xD aint my fault

[plain chasm]

NO

[wind nimbus]

lmfao

[plain chasm]

mfs are not overriding my research bro

[tulip barn]

huh

[wind nimbus]

Hv u presented it to senate yet?

[plain chasm]

feb

end of feb

this is the presentation

they’re trying to morph my stuff

mfers

[wind nimbus]

r they tryn score sympathy points?

wait i thought it was to allocate funding for underfunded schools 😭

[plain chasm]

no they’re trying to WRITE OVER THE SCIENTIFIC STUFF IVE ACTUALLY DONE WITH SOME INFERENCE BS

[wind nimbus]

id riot

[plain chasm]

YES they’re trying to say “yeah we actually need to focus on mental health instead”

🗿

you’ve gotta be fucking kidding me

[wind nimbus]

...

why cant they just add it on if they must

instead of overwriting

[plain chasm]

idk but im literally complaining 💀

you’re not taking the advocacy for my county out of my research

[wicked saddle]

Yeahhhh no

We'd box

[plain chasm]

you’re kidding

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[wind nimbus]

arson.

is this from ur higher ups or ppl working on it with u?

[plain chasm]

the people working on it with me

they’re just a bunch of 17-18 year olds who have been privileged their entire life

[wind nimbus]

tell em to fuck off

[plain chasm]

i can’t do that but i complained to my boss

this makes me irrationally angry

[wind nimbus]

nope perfectly rational

[tawny prism]

i can’t believe y’all were judging each others ec’s without me… 💔

[wind nimbus]

im sorry 💔

[wind nimbus]

feel free to judge mine

[tawny prism]

the order is a bit confusing to me but the ec’s are nice they show a nice narrative

mine are all over the place

[wind nimbus]

tbh i didnt know order mattered

but like

i didnt rly care enough to switch em dont think it should matter right

[wind nimbus]

wanna share if u dont mind

[tawny prism]

they’re supposed to be in order from most important to least but like. AOs are supposed to read front to back anyways

sure lemme dig the pics up

oh i ended up switching 1 and 2 tho like the order

and i ended up just saying “online community” instead of a2c

[wind nimbus]

voice actor is cool af 😭

my voice is like deep but monotone af

[open glen]

💀

[wind nimbus]

i like it really solid (but i see wym lol)

[wind nimbus]

lowkey shlda said a2c

[open glen]

Me when someone puts discord mod

[tawny prism]

here come the people saying “omg autoreject for saying a2c discord mod”

[open glen]

Have you gotten in anywhere yet

[wind nimbus]

[tawny prism]

[brave pier]

[brave pier]

[brave pier]

[humble meteor]

but still

missing is abd

[thick abyss]

Email asap

[humble meteor]

yep did

[azure crane]

did anyone get an interview?

[tame belfry]

I heard that they dont even take notes

not sure if its right or not

[open glen]

Me when I keep getting harassed about mid year report

(Doesn’t come out until end of next week for me)

[tame belfry]

the official one for me doesnt come out until feb 15

[blissful relic]

Mine took notes and later sent me an email with a bunch of information relevant to what we had discussed at Cornell.

But he said he doesnt send anything to the admissions office

[tame belfry]

🤔

[tame belfry]

thats nice

so the interview is not evaluative

[half dune]

yeah

they dont send anything

[austere pendant]

i got a CAAAN interview

informational thing

why am i nervous

[tired void]

guess they've started rolling out interviews in pakistan

[wicked saddle]

ayo im from pakistan too

i got the CAAAN thing too

i havent got an email about an interview, am i fucked?

[wind nimbus]

not for this school

[woeful ledge]

how are interviews handed out then? still a possible acceptance even if i didnt get one?

[wind nimbus]

cornell interviews mean next to 0

maybe a bit of DI

its based on availability

not merit

so where u live

matters

and they dont see ur application so they pretty much pick from a hat

[woeful ledge]

got it thanks

[eternal current]

Interview in 5

It’s informational right

[jagged canyon]

yesss

best of luck u got this

[eternal current]

Epic

[tall monolith]

what kinda questions do u ask during one of the interviews

i got one on tuesday and idk how to talk like a normal human and idk what to expect

a tad nervous

[thick abyss]

Research them a little

Make sure same general major and ask questions u have abt specific programs

[tall monolith]

alr

thx 👍 \

[eternal current]

Finished the interview

This was nice super casual

Wish other schools were like this

[tall monolith]

yo what'd u talk about

[wicked saddle]

Ewwww Cornell sent me a CAAM

Oh well I'll just do it just because

[hollow nova]

caam?

[wicked saddle]

alumni meeting

[hollow nova]

ah

[wicked saddle]

yeah it basically has 0 weight on your app

[hollow nova]

interesting

what school did u apply?

[wicked saddle]

ig i'll just use to to learn more about cornell
Agriculture and Life Sciences

applied for meteorology

[hollow nova]

oh i did that one too but didnt get anything

well if it doesnt really matter then whatev

[wicked saddle]

yeah not a problem

[glass raft]

how do i send an award update to cornell?

like do i describe the award and provide a link in a pdf form and then submit that?

[sleek cloud]

when are cornell likelies out?

[thick abyss]

Uh

Never

[plain chasm]

cornell doesn’t send likelies

[hollow nova]

that isn’t true

[plain chasm]

ok nvm

you’re right they do

[thick abyss]

For sports they do

Not usually for u

Us

[hollow nova]

someone from my school got one last year and they weren’t an athlete

[thick abyss]

Send what it was because they really don’t

Some schools do but not usually cornell

I think they do for specific majors

[plain chasm]

my application isn’t even under review yet lmao

[hollow nova]

how can you see that

[regal python]

yeah what

[hollow nova]

I can’t find the pic now ):

[plain chasm]

[vestal parcel]

Did anyone who submitted a music supplement receive an email from a music professor complimenting their supplemental?

[thick abyss]

Bro

[plain chasm]

[thick abyss]

Why haven’t you sent it yet?

[plain chasm]

[wind nimbus]

Cornell one of the better ivies for engineering no?

[plain chasm]

yes

cornell & columbia

surprisingly

[wind nimbus]

I mean none of the others rly give off an engineering vibe lol

[open glen]

For ivies

It goes

Cornell Columbia Princeton Penn Everything else is mid

[spring crest]

some of them are less than mid

like actually trash

[thick abyss]

Harvard

[spring crest]

if you think harvards bad then you should look at dartmouth's

[thick abyss]

They’re better

Not boston

[spring crest]

boston?

[plain chasm]

my friend is doing engineering at dartmouth

💀

[wicked saddle]

ayooo

[spring crest]

was there a specific program that person liked?

[plain chasm]

engineering physics

it was his best shot at an ivy

[spring crest]

💀

well not sure how good of an idea that is but its up to him ig

[plain chasm]

he’s already committed ED

[spring crest]

lol hope he has a nice time there then

all the dartmouth people ik are super real

[limpid ocean]

ik but

i like to play it safe

just do it on the deadline

[thick abyss]

Ok true

But like not a good look idk

[plain chasm]

yeah of course

my application has been complete since jan 2…

lol

except for writing :/

[thick abyss]

It’s not tho

No essay

[plain chasm]

i’ll finish that tonight

yeah

[thick abyss]

they can’t evaluate you without that

Which school btw

[plain chasm]

CAS

astronomy

[thick abyss]

Gotcha

[plain chasm]

i don’t think it’ll matter that much

would matter if i submitted after the deadline

it’s their fault for extending the deadline for a literal month though

they knew i wouldn’t have gotten that shit done until now 💀

[limpid ocean]

big good luck tho

u'll make it

with 3 hours

lol

[limpid ocean]

procrasination hits hard

[plain chasm]

it’s due tmr

night

i think

if it’s due tonight i’m fucked 💀

they said by feb 8

3h is enough for 650 words tho

[sleek cloud]

anyone on this sub got a likely yet

someone on the reddit said they got an email to set up a call with the AO

LMAO

[vernal raven]

?

why lmao

[tame belfry]

💀

I submitted like a week ago

donno if its too late

theoretically absolute deadine is tomorrow

[vernal raven]

yea it is

i emailed

[tame belfry]

😮‍💨

[vernal raven]

they said by the 8th tho

so i think it might be tn

[tame belfry]

at least i got it in, it was decent, didnt rush it lol

[limpid ocean]

lol forgor

im a day ahead of yall so

[plain chasm]

nah

doubt

[limpid ocean]

and i didnt know its due on 8th feb lol

[plain chasm]

like deadlines say “apply by jan 2”

[limpid ocean]

thought its 7th

[plain chasm]

they mean 11:59

but i’m still going to submit tonight

[limpid ocean]

ye thats good lol

u know

this extension is pretty long

[plain chasm]

they just starting reviewing this week

[limpid ocean]

but no where close to uva's ea decision💀

applied start of november

no decision for 3 months + 7 days

[plain chasm]

damnnn

[limpid ocean]

speechless

[chrome ember]

for cornell?

i heard that for yale

[woeful ledge]

what are likelies?

[vernal raven]

colleges mail u saying ur a very strong applicant and blah blah basically saying ur gonna get in dont fuck anything up

[woeful ledge]

damnnnn what other schools do shit like that

[tawny prism]

nyu, i think all ivies

[hollow nova]

why so late?

[plain chasm]

no clue

they extended their deadline massively

[hollow nova]

damn

they only gave themselves 2 months to go through 71k+ applications

living on the edge fr

[vernal raven]

they got a big ahh team

[regal python]

damn just started review and already sending likelies

[vernal raven]

each college has its own team

and each team is like 15 people or something

[sweet gale]

so can they ass stop emailing askig for my supplement

[thick abyss]

They probably started way before

[sweet gale]

be patient bitch fr

[vernal raven]

yea prlly

they probably started the first round already

i just submitted my supp

i started going mental towards the end and writing abt some goofy ahh stuff

but itll be entertaining to read

[wind nimbus]

i wonder if the when affects chances at all

[vernal raven]

probably

[wind nimbus]

trying to figure out which is fair

[regal python]

did they ever say why they pushed back the deadline

[wind nimbus]

giving preference to ppl who stuck to the og deadline or keeping it constant for all

[vernal raven]

they just said students were stressed or smthn so they probably had a different reason that they couldnt share

[regal python]

hm

[wind nimbus]

very true

[hollow nova]

didnt get enough apps maybe

[wind nimbus]

well at end of they day we gon see ig

[wind nimbus]

id imagine cornell would get the most out of the ivies no?

[hollow nova]

yes but they might have wanted more

[vernal raven]

ive been emailing one ao at cas a couple times but the last time i emailed her (like right before winter break) she responded and said she would follow up with an answer but never did

[wind nimbus]

tru

[hollow nova]

im sure numbers are lower than last year

[thick abyss]

Probs money and lower numbers

[vernal raven]

then again shes forgotten to respond before so idk if that had anything to do with it or what

[thick abyss]

Thanks to the nets

[sweet gale]

i feel like constancy for all would be the most fair since its an official extension. but me personally if i were an AO reading someone who submitted in december vs someone who submitted february 8th i’d be biased naturally yk

[wind nimbus]

ur regional ao?

[vernal raven]

nah just one random ao

[hollow nova]

💀

try ur regional one

[wind nimbus]

ye thats tru but like the thing is they kind of didnt tell us early so a lot of ppl went by the official deadline

[vernal raven]

lol she emailed me first and i met her on a tour and she said i could email her with questions

[sweet gale]

yeahh

[thick abyss]

It was so shady

Did it right after most submitted too

[vernal raven]

well it wasnt rlly an important question and she already kinda answered it, it was just abt CAAAN interviews

[hollow nova]

ah ok

[sweet gale]

it was also annoying that diff deadlines were everywhere

[wind nimbus]

if they said it like late november then id say constant for all cuz then thats a choice but we had maybe 2 days

[sweet gale]

feb 8th, feb 10th, feb 15th lol

[hollow nova]

also is it just me or does cornells portal look like fucking garbage

for #5 cs they should do better

[wind nimbus]

lmfao

michigan worse imo

[sweet gale]

look at yale graphic design dept https://www.art.yale.edu/about/study-areas/graduate-study-areas/graphic-design

[hollow nova]

eh michigan is weird but at least it doesnt look like it was made before my parents were born

[sweet gale]

ugliest site i ever seen

but its yLe

graphic design

[hollow nova]

im gonna scream

[wind nimbus]

lmfao

[hollow nova]

quirky gone wrong

[vernal raven]

yale is so mid

i didnt even apply

[hollow nova]

^

[vernal raven]

L school smh

[hollow nova]

fr

[wind nimbus]

i know next to nothing bout graphich design and this gave me an aneurism

[hollow nova]

maybe they should hire you to fix it

[wind nimbus]

lowkey

[hollow nova]

because your taste is obviously better than theirs

[wind nimbus]

gon learn a lil js rq

[regal python]

🌽

[plain chasm]

time to start my writing supplemental! (12:07am)

[wind nimbus]

bro 😭

[plain chasm]

hate all you want i’m already up to 347 words 😎

[thick abyss]

Mate

Isn’t it a why us

[plain chasm]

[thick abyss]

Bae you gotta make it specific

Not just copy and paste

[plain chasm]

obviously

that’s why i’m adding why cornell

[thick abyss]

Okkk

[plain chasm]

it’s just interdisciplinary because i make it seem like each college is the love for me fr i’ll show once i’m done

i need to look up cornell astronomy brb

they probably don’t have the field i want to go into so i need to bs something

[tawny prism]

cornell webpage is deeeep like it has so much info and layers to it gl

i probably spent over 2 hours researching why cornell easy

just cause the website is endless

[plain chasm]

ah hell yeah they have some rlly neat stuff

i kinda actually like cornell a lot

[wind nimbus]

bruh y was i able to find an initiative 5 years back thats pre much one of the main things im tryn do AND introduced my friend who got me into CS to CS

took me like 3 days to write that shi

[tawny prism]

me too 🫣 scary

[thick abyss]

Cornell took me a bit

Did a huge deep dive

But honestly a sick school

[tawny prism]

i feel like my ec’s coooulddd be cornell worthy but like literally who knows

[plain chasm]

i am cornell worthy, are they worthy of me?

[topaz aurora]

i had a banger why us essay

and then they defrerred me

[thick abyss]

I hope they eat up my resume

[tawny prism]

i feel like my why us is a bit bland but i’ve been told it’s good so who knows

[plain chasm]

mine is already rambly

but in like a blahblahblah i like space way

[tawny prism]

wish they had another like 200 word essay just to show off some more personality

cornell allows employer recs right

[plain chasm]

yes

i used an employer rec!!

[tawny prism]

okay good

yeah that rec boosts me i think

[plain chasm]

[thick abyss]

Same

[wind nimbus]

and i was like oh it only has 36 chapters!

😭

[tawny prism]

[wind nimbus]

Im intl 😭 jus moved here

[plain chasm]

edater mf

[wind nimbus]

if u hadnt like soft mentioned it I would not be able to guess either which way lol

[plain chasm]

sheesh

[wind nimbus]

u cant even get an edate where that leave us now /j

[plain chasm]

ayo

that’s not true

i do have rizz

[wind nimbus]

word

[plain chasm]

my rizz is just targeted and that target pool doesn’t exist at my school

they’re not rizzucated

to understand the immense rizz of an astrophysics rizzler in stem

[wind nimbus]

seduce them with ur research papers and statistics

[wind nimbus]

astrophysics sounds like some smart person shit id never understand

[plain chasm]

🥺👉👈 d-dd-do you want to see my… c-commonapp extracurricu-uclar list… 🥺

c-can i show you my… pp-person-nal es—….essay??

💀

[wind nimbus]

xD

[plain chasm]

average rizz of an a2cer

[plain chasm]

not really

i just don’t get play irl because i don’t branch out enough and don’t really care to pursue people enough to try to have rizz

[wind nimbus]

i would love to conduct a couple studies on this server to see whats up cuz the ppl here are 😭

[plain chasm]

also a lot of people find me boring and/or overwhelming irl

🤷‍♀️

[wind nimbus]

ngl i think my problem is i b hving too much fun

lmao

[wind nimbus]

gotta find ur ppl

[plain chasm]

i fr just talk too much and say all the wrong words

[plain chasm]

yeah def

[wind nimbus]

find someone that listen

[plain chasm]

i’ve found these people but i only knew them for a month

irl

[wind nimbus]

fair nough

[plain chasm]

and now we’re all online

they do exist

[wind nimbus]

tbh i think youll enjoy college a lot more

[plain chasm]

yeah probably

[wind nimbus]

good chance u find hella ppl

like u

[plain chasm]

then i’ll get some rizz

ngl i thought i had a type til i realized that’s pretty stereotypical in areas other than my school so i kinda gave up

i’m just going to let whatever happens happen in college

hs is doomed

[wind nimbus]

lmao

i mean everyone ive fw since movin here been kinda weird ngl

[plain chasm]

i didn’t realize how starkly different my school is from a2c

til i got on a2c

[wind nimbus]

a2c is pretty much

[plain chasm]

except for a bit of toxicity

my school pretty much sucks with toxicity

[wind nimbus]

take a large sample of overachieving high schoolers

make them anxious bout college

[plain chasm]

basically a2c is the top 5 at my school but 100x more achieving and 100x more anxious

[wind nimbus]

but remove the social anxiety that comes with irl communication

boom

a2c

[plain chasm]

yes fr

[wind nimbus]

i think im way below avg a2cer but we move

was a good reality check

[plain chasm]

heavily doubt that

[wind nimbus]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[plain chasm]

i’m not sure where i stand anymore

[wind nimbus]

i mean i wish i did more but like

at least my brother gon know

[wind nimbus]

me neither

[plain chasm]

i feel like all of the knowledge i have gained so far can be passed down

[wind nimbus]

everyon (including AOs) thinks i have a good chance at at least a few of my top schools but way its been im like yk maybe im like just not that guy

[plain chasm]

if i’m ever in a position where i do have a child or smth they’ll be the kid the next gen complains about who has everything they need to succeed

[wind nimbus]

im passing it down to my brother

[plain chasm]

no more title I rural hs bullshit

i’m already educating people at my school

or at least trying

yeah there’s a stark difference between my sister and I too

[wind nimbus]

acc i hv a friend irl who wants to do astrophysics and is aiming for uva if u got some tips for him ill def pass it to him

[plain chasm]

ooo

what grade is he in

[wind nimbus]

mm i cant say the same my brother is me part 2 ngl

[wind nimbus]

sophomore

[plain chasm]

and what type of astro is he interested in?

or does he not know yet

[wind nimbus]

[sweet gale]

one time someone asked me why i kept a ring on my ring finger and i said “im married to the game 🤷‍♀️” and i still think about it

[plain chasm]

my parents got me the ring and it only fits my left hand ribg finger

but its rly pretty

[tawny prism]

oh LMAO i can’t decide if id want one or not…
