[thick abyss]

Don’t force me into a Quora spiral

[tulip barn]

“Will my son get into Harvard with a 1590 SAT? I’m telling him to retake it”

[thick abyss]

I finally escaped my Hannah Montana era

[tulip barn]

The quora phase isn’t for the weak

[wind nimbus]

i be reading them too

[drowsy glen]

Like i thought they were legit processing my app just then but nope

[thick abyss]

Being famous on there for three years was humbling

[grim crown]

“what happens if you fail MITs swim test”

WHYVDOES THIS HAPPEN IN HALF THE VIDEOS

[thick abyss]

Not for me

[tulip barn]

[grim crown]

[tawny prism]

i get so angry when they dont show their safeties too

[wind nimbus]

🤣

[tulip barn]

[wind nimbus]

LMFAO REAL

[grim crown]

legacy is so stupid i wish we could like blink to the point in time where they don’t matter

[tulip barn]

I don’t rly have much work tho so it’s fine

[sour blade]

katep asks: are y’all opening ivy decisions with your parents

[wind nimbus]

i thought of it ate 3 rejections in 24 hours and stopped

[tawny prism]

or 1 parent even

[wind nimbus]

FUCK NO

in my room

alone

under my sheets

with a box of tissues

[grim crown]

i didn’t open any of my decisions but since they all come out at the same time i’ll do it with my@mom for fun

[thick abyss]

I’m doing it with my parents bc we have a bet

[wind nimbus]

and some ibuprofen

[tulip barn]

After opening my penn decision with mt mom I’ve learned to no longer do that

[wind nimbus]

and other stuff i cant name here

so i can be comfy in my depression

[drowsy glen]

Ngl ive opened no decisions with my parents

[thick abyss]

Ngl my mom has opened all of mine for me

[tawny prism]

my mom gets happy and always wants me to wait for her but like. what if i just get rejected from all that’s gonna be so awkward

[thick abyss]

I’ve opened zero on my own

[grim crown]

my mom wanted me to to pretend i didn’t see my decision so she could refill my ed i literally got rejected she was ruthless

[drowsy glen]

Just texted and got "ok" LMAO

[wind nimbus]

only acceptance i got was wen i was at a friends house

[tulip barn]

I think it’s bc I have an empty void as I wait for RD decisions

[wind nimbus]

so tha strat is to just not be homw

[tulip barn]

it’s also just like

idk why I’m like this cuz for ED decisions instead of college reactions I had my Reddit chance me phase

[wind nimbus]

id feel worse with them there if its a no

[tulip barn]

i just cant stay away from comparing myself to other people 🥰

[tawny prism]

harvard is harvard

[tulip barn]

Reactions sprinkled with Chloe ting 😘

[wind nimbus]

[tulip barn]

Workout lady

[tawny prism]

everyone tells me i have yale vibes so that’s slightly higher up and then cornell cause i like it and statistically have a higher chance than the rest

[wind nimbus]

my friend got in rea yale and honetly i sense that from u

[tulip barn]

I’m doing a spinner

[tawny prism]

everyone keeps saying that it’s scary fr!!

[tulip barn]

I’m for sure opening duke first

And then the rest I’m doing a spinner

[tawny prism]

the spinners take too long to spin id go insane

i hope no colleges come out on the 25th cause i’m gonna be traveling all day

[limpid ocean]

lol

[wind nimbus]

[tawny prism]

yeah

[tawny prism]

wtf how’d she get away with submitting uchi a week late 😭

[limpid ocean]

1 day after my birthday 🥲

either be a happy late birthday gift

or a shitty one

[tulip barn]

Let’s talk about her TWO likelies…

[woeful ledge]

How does test optional affect ivy admissions process (more specifically cornell)

[tawny prism]

WTF spoiler alert please

[tulip barn]

Omg sorry

Keep watching

[tulip barn]

For Cornell some of the schools are test blind

So u can search up if urs is

I applied to dyson which is test blind

[woeful ledge]

oh word same

[wind nimbus]

i got to cuz qb

[tulip barn]

As for the other ivies, I don’t really know. All I can tell you is that it won’t help you but it won’t necessarily hurt you. I applied rest optional too and ky understanding is that since I did, I have to prove myself more through my essays, extracurriculars, and grades

[wind nimbus]

i hate life

[tawny prism]

that t20 sweep was insane fr

[tulip barn]

The way she wasn’t even like

That shocked

She literally ate every single decision up

[tawny prism]

no fr and im gonna sound like a hater but i’m glad she got some non acceptances cause girly was just expecting the acceptances at that point!

yayyy i got in 😃

[tulip barn]

NO FR

i was like happy she didn’t get yale

my reaction was fr “thank god she needed a humble”

[grim crown]

i should start drafting a loci

[tough pebble]

this wait has felt so long

i can’t believe RD decisions start in like just a few weeks (for some schools)

[grim crown]

i love this video sm thank you

[wind nimbus]

np its the best one ive seen

[grim crown]

i just watched one where the person got into stanford he went running to his mom and she said why 😭😭

[tulip barn]

I SAW THAT ONE TOO

he got rejected from all the ivies right

and the next day he got into Stanford and she was shocked

[tulip barn]

His name was andy right

[vernal raven]

Fuck now im gotta watch some reaction videos

[grim crown]

YEAH

i rlly rlly liked that video it felt real

[tawny prism]

no don’t do it

i usually don’t stress about harvard/yale decisions but decision reaction videos make me think damn… i want that fr ☹️

[tulip barn]

I’m literally only watching to like

feel something LMFAO

[grim crown]

im watching to see people get rejected from one school then get into another hoping that’s me

[wind nimbus]

thats me and #🎓-commitments

if i wanna feel bad i jus go in there and scroll

[grim crown]

word to the wise do not wear headphones and forget to turn down your volume because i literally just went deaf because someone got into brown

[hexed snow]

anyone knows how many students approximatly apply to humec

[vernal raven]

@grizzled copper SAME PFP????

[grizzled copper]

LMAOOO NO FUCKING WAY @hexed snow

YOOOOOO

Besties fr

[hexed snow]

[wicked saddle]

I just wanted to announce

I'm trying so hard not to yawn rn because I'm doing homework, and if I yawn it's a wrap

Thank you for allowing my PSA

[spring crest]

[crimson zodiac]

i am too technically but like

no way they’re accepting me

cs transfer

😢

[wind nimbus]

Nah u got it gang

[crimson zodiac]

sins i have no clue how to write their essays 🥲

[wind nimbus]

Which one u doin

Arts and science?

[lapis barn]

dont worry transfer acceptance is higher percentage

[crimson zodiac]

nah

thats cuz contract colleges

cas acceptance rate is like

7

[daring dragon]

what’re these

[grim crown]

guys does it mean anything if an alumni reached out for one fo the informational meetings even though i never signed up for own

one

and she said we have to meet before march 1

[wind nimbus]

Oop

[vernal raven]

Maybe

Bc i ik at yale someone had a rushed interview request and they got a likely right after

Idk if its the same but if it is then :0

[grim crown]

really hoping it’s a good sign then 😭

cornell would be so fun

[vernal raven]

Yea March 1 could just be the interview deadline but i dont think it is

Im pretty sure most schools do like mid march

[grim crown]

well i didn’t apply for engineering either so i don’t have to do an interview and i didn’t request the info session on my application

[vernal raven]

What major did u apply for

Not architecture right

[grim crown]

her name, alumni from Cornell University currently residing in Miami. I wanted to know if you are interested in speaking about your Cornell application. I am happy to give you more information about the University and share with you my own experience of when I studied there.

the speaking ab your application was the specific thing that made it kinda strange

nah

business stuff

[vernal raven]

Hmmm

[tawny prism]

the speak about your app does sound a bit sussy interesting

[vernal raven]

Do u live near miami?

[grim crown]

yeah i live in miami

[tawny prism]

although i’ve heard of people getting emails like that

did she explicitly say a zoom meeting

[vernal raven]

Then i honestly have no idea tbh

[grim crown]

right that’s so strange i thought it wasn’t evaluative

[tawny prism]

cause i’ve heard people say they get similar emails and they just offer to like answer questions over email

[grim crown]

no she just said this “If you are interested let me know and we can pick a date and time to speak prior to March 1st. Looking forward to hearing back from you.”

[wind nimbus]

Mine was worded like this

[grim crown]

oh then idk probably nothing i guess but that email was so cut e

tysm

or or were all getting cornell likelies

[wind nimbus]

😂 I wish

[wind nimbus]

Urs similar?

[grim crown]

yeah

did you request the info session

[wind nimbus]

I think so ye

[grim crown]

but they texted me instead

i didnt that’s why it was strange

[wind nimbus]

I requested for all schools that offered it

Even tho I only got 2

[wind nimbus]

[grim crown]

why are these schools do vague

so

[wind nimbus]

Silly goofy mood

[tulip barn]

If u didn’t req one that’s a good sign imo

[plain chasm]

march 1 is report deadline most places

[tawny prism]

the people have spoken and the people do not think i’m getting into cornell!

[grim crown]

my vote counts more than anyone else’s and i think they will accept you and if not waitlist then immediately accept you after a day

[tawny prism]

omg…. thank you 🤞

[plain chasm]

boutta post my thing on chanceme

everything fades to red…

*orange

😔

[vernal raven]

no

dont

chanceme is the devils site

[plain chasm]

for the funnies

[vernal raven]

just dont do it

[plain chasm]

also @vernal raven i had 5 people on chance me tell me to shotgun t10s and I’d get in somewhere 💀

what is that backward logic

[vernal raven]

shotgunning works in theory

but in reality shotgunning usually causes cramming and rushed essays so it doesnt actually work

[grim crown]

more places higher chance some might accept you

[vernal raven]

but also people on chanceme have no idea what theyre talking abt lol

[plain chasm]

yea i applied to caltech, dartmouth, and jhu in the same day

[grim crown]

try hard on the ones you care about then shotgun the rest that was my logic

[grim crown]

ew.

[vernal raven]

tbf, unless someone is in an admissions office, nobody knows what theyre talking abt when it comes to admissions

u gotta remember a lot of it is based on luck

[plain chasm]

yup fr

i learned today that even the fucking IB marks i get are luck

you get a raw score then it gets moderated then it gets SCALED

[grim crown]

saw someone’s yesterday who got a harvard likely and got rejected from cornell and yale so honestly just apply what’s the worst that could happen

[vernal raven]

like how is ur AO feeling, are they hungry, sad, happy, do they relate to you, are they looking for musicians, are they looking for extreme volunteers, are they looking for business founders

[plain chasm]

so if you get predicted a 7 you can hypothetically get scaled down to like, a 5 💀

[tawny prism]

i did a while back and i got told i had a “decent chance” at my match schools LMAOO

[plain chasm]

all of them are looking for me

😏

i’ll send them chocolates

[tawny prism]

meanwhile people on a2c telling me yale acceptance…

[vernal raven]

i usually just try forgetting i even applied to t20s lol

[plain chasm]

lmfao

[vernal raven]

my state school is t20 for cs so im just planning my next 4 years tehre

[grim crown]

i was told i would get into my ed everyone is a liar trust no one not even the aos.

[rigid lynx]

Where do you get this from

Is it a website?

[plain chasm]

i made a prediction poll

nah it’s google forms

[grim crown]

the schools lie to you too. They say you’re rejected to scare you but in reality they can’t stop you from going

[plain chasm]

TRUE

i can just walk right thru your gates fym rejected

[vernal raven]

u literally can'

u can attend classes by just walking in

u just wont get credit lol

[grim crown]

i don’t need the diploma just the knowledge especially if i’m gonna be an entrepreneur

[plain chasm]

step 1. go to school
step 2. attend classes
step 3. befriend the professor
step 4. profit

[grim crown]

Step 1. go to school
step 2. learn their tactics
step 3. kidnap a professor
step 4. start a for profit school
step 5. pay off us news to rank you very high
step 6. lie about your acceptance rate
step 7. accept all the enrollments and make them prepay tuition
step 8. vacation

[plain chasm]

TRUE

catch me on my superyacht in the pacific ocean making shmoney surrounded by hot women and dolphins

[grim crown]

bro is christopher columbus remember dolphins aren’t mermaids

[plain chasm]

make me

[grim crown]

.

[plain chasm]

[thick abyss]

Ooo

[grim crown]

harvard is my safety

[thick abyss]

Cornell is my target

[grim crown]

i actually got 5 likelies today from cornell they rlly rlly want me

[tough pebble]

only 5? 💀

that’s lower than my gpa kiddo

[plain chasm]

i got 20

but nonetheless

northwestern and i are in an intimate relationship ☺️

[grim crown]

yeah cause the other day they gave me a full ride and they’re gonna give me a 250k stipend per year

[plain chasm]

ahahah

the DI goes crazy

[tough pebble]

[plain chasm]

intimate

they love me

[tawny prism]

bro i only did DI for like 3 colleges i forgot the rest cared

oops

[plain chasm]

northwestern fr is my lover

[plain chasm]

very cute love the DI

[grim crown]

that video was si funny

[tulip barn]

LMFAO I REMEMBER THAT

but he got into MIT

[tulip barn]

do u wanna fill it out 💖

[grim crown]

getting into mit would be amazing

[tulip barn]

i didn’t apply

my stats would make them want to off themselves

[grim crown]

their application was actually really fun you got to talk about everything you wanted

[grim crown]

same but idk why not try

plus no legacy so W

[plain chasm]

im mit legacy

[grim crown]

did you apply also yk they don’t care ab legacy right

[plain chasm]

im not traditional legacy i have no offices ties to mit

[grim crown]

wdym not traditional

[plain chasm]

im just an alum to a program that sends 30% of ppl to mit with a 50% admit rate for those who apply

so i applied

knowing i’ll probably be rejected

[grim crown]

goodluck update me if you end up a beaver

[plain chasm]

if i get into mit im committing but don’t tell northwestern that

[grim crown]

the only school that could take me away from mit would be upenn or yale

and only if i get into lsm

[plain chasm]

if i get into caltech id cry

but it’s not happening so it’s fine

i got autorejected

i don’t think i passed first read

lmfao

[grim crown]

caltech is insanely impossible

987 is their enrollment that’s so small bro

[plain chasm]

like a week into the process they had already made an unofficial decision on my app

in slate

</3

[grim crown]

oh i’m sorry but don’t beat yourself up like no one is getting in there

[tawny prism]

no because who is responsible for this

in what world!!

[vernal raven]

slate.org?

[plain chasm]

yea

[thick abyss]

Sure

[plain chasm]

damn who keeps spamming waitlist on cornell 😭

[thick abyss]

How do I make one

[tawny prism]

google forms

[plain chasm]

@thick abyss can you do mine too 😔

[thick abyss]

But what do I ask

Sure just dm me y’all

[plain chasm]

kk

[tawny prism]

everyone it seems!

[vernal raven]

how tf does slate work

does that mean theyre in process or done?

[plain chasm]

oml my perfect northeastern is ruined

8.3% waitlist

LMFAO

[vernal raven]

?

[plain chasm]

my survey

[vernal raven]

ohhhh

lol

northeastern rd is gonna be a bloodbath

im 100% getting rejected

[vernal raven]

but then again a lot of unqualified kids from my school are getting, so maybe we're a feeder now

[plain chasm]

nobody from my school has gotten in so far

my friend did swarthmore ed 2 and northeastern ed 2

so she withdrew from northeastern

and promptly got rejected from swarthmore

😭

[vernal raven]

our valedictorian got in last year and hes attending, and hes absolutely cracked. im hoping that pushes them to admit more kids from our school this year lol

they already admitted 2 kids who werent that competitive

[pine granite]

they changed the sattelite campus transfer policies too

at least for oakland

[sour summit]

has anyone gotten a cornell non-interview interview thing from cornell along the lines of this:

[vernal raven]

yea someone else in this thread got the same thing

[plain chasm]

[sour summit]

wtf is CAAN

[plain chasm]

cornell alumni association network

or smth

[vernal raven]

jk

[livid tulip]

They pretty much want you to ask them questions, not the other way around. It’s pretty chill

Just do it to show demonstrated interest

[hallow sierra]

yeah i got one earlier in nov, it's nonevaluative i think

[mystic lintel]

i got one way early this year and she was actually so mean 😭

[plain chasm]

rip

[mystic lintel]

i asked her some questions ab her time at cornell and she was like yeah my experiences are my own

[plain chasm]

bruh

did she not answer

[mystic lintel]

nope!

i couldn’t even respond like what am i supposed to say to that

[wind nimbus]

thas crazy

[tulip barn]

my interview felt as if I bumped into someone at a store who went to Cornell and they casually talked to me about it for a few mins lmao

it felt very surface level

[wind nimbus]

mine felt like an actual interview at first then like a convo with a friend lmao

he asked bout my interests why major why schoool and how my interests intersected with my why major

and eventually the convo jus seemed very friendly

we had a weird amount in common even tho im cs and hes a lawyer

[livid tulip]

My Cornell thing was a little awkward

Since it was a phone call, it was hard to get into the natural flow of convo

[plain chasm]

haven’t had one :(

[tawny prism]

me neither but i’m kinda glad

don’t need to simp over cornell more

[livid tulip]

It’s not that important, really just based on availability, don’t stress about it

I’ve heard on Reddit that they don’t even report back to Cornell besides whether you did it or not

For expressed interest purposes

[crimson zodiac]

you can know how many votes you got?

[tulip barn]

lol I meant like I sent out a college prediction survey to ppl and the least voted ivy was Cornell 😭

[wind nimbus]

lol

[crimson zodiac]

oh

[naive grove]

How do you tell if they made an unofficial decision

[nova crescent]

Portal astrology

[compact veldt]

not me receiving this email and thinking it meant something

only to come on here and realise its just an info session

[naive grove]

in fairness to you

the wording does sound a bit optimistic, but yeah.

[wicked saddle]

Try to spot the likely letter challenge

[Difficult mode]

[thick abyss]

Hey y’all

[plain chasm]

hi riley

[sour summit]

hello

for the fellow future cornelians that got the informational meeting

what did y’all talk about with your alumni person

[wind nimbus]

campus
minority popultion
clubs
support for entering the work force and resources available
how cornell affected theyre career
working in the government bureaucracy (specific question for me)

[sour summit]

thank you!

i do not think it could gone better

wish it would’ve counted for extra brownie points for me 😩

[wind nimbus]

frfr

[wind nimbus]

np

[tawny prism]

y’all think i should lose hope for cornell and other t20s if i haven’t been selected for 3 safety state schools honors colleges…

[sand star]

don't lose hope!!

[thick abyss]

Honors r rly hard

[plain chasm]

^ this is true

[tawny prism]

i just got in pitt honors but no UVM, UNH or umass amherst honors

idk i wasnt stressing about it but now i’m like… wait a min!

[tough pebble]

i wouldnt stress about that. honors college direct admissions are deceptively selective. most of the population of many honors colleges (umass is a great example) are either sophomores or first year students joining it in their second semester

[tawny prism]

hmmm okay ic… well i guess nothing to do but wait and see what happens ty!!

[tough pebble]

youve got this

[wicked saddle]

Don't fret over that if you don't intend to go

[thick abyss]

I GOT AN INTERVIEWWWWW

[indigo moat]

yayyyyy , you do know it is just an info session right

[thick abyss]

Lmao yes I do

No impact on admissions but I’m so glad I got one

I was freaking out idk

[indigo moat]

yh cant be bad sign

[summer pendant]

🙂

You guys are getting interviews?

[indigo moat]

me who got a total of 2 interviews/8 colleges i applied to that interview

[summer pendant]

Must be cool right?

[summer pendant]

Are you from India?

[indigo moat]

yup

[summer pendant]

You got interviews wow

may I know from which colleges?

[thick abyss]

I got 3/3 that do interviews lmao

So I’m happy

[indigo moat]

upenn, stanford

[summer pendant]

do you live in a big city like Delhi?

[indigo moat]

chennai

[summer pendant]

I am from a shit village where no one even heard of Harvard here.

[indigo moat]

all i see is a good essay/ diamond in the rough hook

[indigo moat]

college application side effects

[summer pendant]

I didn't understand. Could you please elaborate a little?

[indigo moat]

if you come from a place

without many other competitve

applicants

thats a hook, like in one of my friend;s harvard admissions files which he saw when he got in they had written a comment saying " Diamond in the rough"

[summer pendant]

Thank you for saying that

I really needed that

I hope they will think of me as a diamond too

[rigid lynx]

No cuz that's great if true

[limpid ocean]

lol

me no 🥲

duke ed really gave me hope cuz they gave me an interview just to reject me :>

[thick abyss]

Wait guys

My “interview” is in person

[pine granite]

some want to do it in person

[indigo moat]

istfg cornell college i will kill you

[sand star]

what's that?

[indigo moat]

not cornell

[limpid ocean]

W?

unless u're introverted lol

[deep jasper]

Same and so nervous for getting like only 3 interviews

[plain chasm]

3 interviews is actually respectively a lot

most people don’t get more 4-5

[wind nimbus]

me w 2

[deep jasper]

Those were all before dec tho

[grim crown]

i’ve gotten 5 excluding ed

[wicked saddle]

I got like 7 😭

[plain chasm]

yea you with the 20A

[wicked saddle]

I honestly let my hopes if a Stanford interview go because I'm lowkey tired of them atp

[plain chasm]

im glad i got all of my HYPM except yale

HPM

HPMD

[sweet plover]

erm not to brag but i had an interview in november and the interviewer actually had an impact on my application… no hate tho ❤️ (The joke here is that I am an architecture major and we all had mandatory evaluative interviews.)

[wind nimbus]

is there a specific reason y architecture matters?

[sweet plover]

yes ^_^

it’s because we solo

im jk

the reason is that architecture is a rigorous 5 year course cuz its a professional degree and you have to really know what youre getting into, plus we all have to submit a portfolio and an essential part of architecture both field and academia is public speaking so its a good way to gauge your skills in that area cuz if you can’t talk about yourself well right now, you’ll probably struggle later on

and also because we solo obvi

call back when comp sci and business get dragon day for themselves 🙄🙄

[wind nimbus]

makes sense

[wind nimbus]

lmfao

[tawny prism]

omg lasagna in cornell thread too!

[thick abyss]

[tough pebble]

🥲

[unborn ivy]

Tell them that

[tough pebble]

i did

and this was their response

[unborn ivy]

You’ll probably have to resend then

[tough pebble]

i sent screenshots & other proof that i submitted everything they asked for, but yeah i’m resending them now

it’s just a bit annoying

[unborn ivy]

Yeah

[lapis barn]

can someone help me out with fin aid

it says that my parents w-2 form was initiated what does that mean exactly

it says that the list should be blank if its received but i submitted them and its not blank

[tawny prism]

i already did now let me iiinnnn

[wicked saddle]

Thought I somehow missed that they had a separate application

Svared me a bit

[sweet plover]

WAIT.

reddit is a strange place

[thick abyss]

Made a few jokes

[tawny prism]

i won’t be doing a chanceme tho cause i deleted my other one and no way in hell i’m rewriting all my ec’s

[vocal mortar]

i made one and sent it to my friend and that was enough being judged for me

[deep jasper]

I think my Cornell essay, amongst my other essays, was like top 4

[tawny prism]

i feel like my cornell essay was very mid it was just specific so.. that’s good i guess

[thick abyss]

Def same

I’d say cornell>UNC>duke>emory

[tawny prism]

i wish they had like 2 shorter essays with more creative prompts

[deep jasper]

Lmao not Unc

I sent this to unc

[thick abyss]

Dude i wrote abt the dancing plague

[vocal mortar]

i ED cornell so it was one of my first essays and consequently one of my worst. oh well everything happens for a reason ig

[thick abyss]

I LOVE THE DANCING PLAGUE

[plain chasm]

💀 evil

[thick abyss]

Good shot if deferred tho

I’m probably gonna end up at UNC but I don’t want to lmao

The kids there scare me

[vocal mortar]

[thick abyss]

[plain chasm]

[hollow willow]

do yall know if this is just informational

ik they said this:

It’s not an evaluation of you or your application, so it’s just meant to be a way for you ask questions.
but do yk if they still ask you any interview questions at all?

[fierce rivet]

It is informational only

[hollow willow]

alr thanks 👍

[wicked saddle]

yup. my interviewer gave me a few mins at the end to share abt myself but like i dont think that matters

[fierce rivet]

Here's what Cornell says

Contacts are informational, not evaluative — no need to be nervous.

[meager kayak]

i had the same person

shes very nice

[hollow willow]

slay

looking forward to it

thanks for the info 👍

[nova crescent]

This post gives me hope

Finally someone who isn't stacked with a trillion platinum usacos and played the violin in the intergalactic music conference

When did she say she was legacy or first gen bro

[thick abyss]

I misread bae

[nova crescent]

Np xx

[thick abyss]

But yes actual hope dang she’s a normal kid

[nova crescent]

Ikr

[thick abyss]

(Stacked kid but normal)

[nova crescent]

Plus us citizen living abroad (just like me )

[nova crescent]

Stacked?

[thick abyss]

Like good ec’s and stuff

[nova crescent]

Honestly i wouldn't call that stacked

I'd call that someone who enjoyed their teenage years

Stacked are the MFS who built a nuclear reactor in their basement and got rejected from mit (real story i kid you not)

[thick abyss]

True

I just didnt want to be rude

[nova crescent]

Bro mit wtf

This is from the mit newsletter

Jesus fucking christ

[thick abyss]

STOPPP

[nova crescent]

Imagine walking into your son handling uranium right next to the ol lawn mower

[thick abyss]

Sounds sorta illegal

[nova crescent]

"dad we don't have to pay the electricity bill anymore"

[nova crescent]

No shit, bro can blow up California off the face of the map

[thick abyss]

I mean i think that’s partially why he got rejected lmao

[nova crescent]

But it's intellectual vitality 🤓

[limpid ocean]

think it lowkey goes against the rules of this discrod server lol

[limpid ocean]

u giving me hopes that my amazing essays might carry my shitty scores lol

[limpid ocean]

i told yall

if u get a nobel

discover 10 new elements

prove that white holes exist and create a time machine

harvard would still reject u

[summer pendant]

Dude I just only planted a tree

Do I have any chance?

[limpid ocean]

nah

jk

u always do have a "chance"

[summer pendant]

jk?

[limpid ocean]

just kidding

there's always a "chance" for u to get into any school

with any gpa

or test scores

[summer pendant]

I just planted a tree

[limpid ocean]

having good test scores and stuff just increase ur chance

[summer pendant]

what about a tree?

[limpid ocean]

wth does this suppose to mean 🥲

[thick abyss]

Which type

[summer pendant]

I didn't discover white holes but I did plant a tree so do I have any chance?

[limpid ocean]

ic ur point now

[summer pendant]

It's a flower plant actually not a tree

[limpid ocean]

no

[thick abyss]

Hmm

[limpid ocean]

cuz harvy just no

[thick abyss]

What flower

[limpid ocean]

just no

[summer pendant]

I can send you a image but don't know the english name of the plant

it's beautiful though

[tawny prism]

ik that im a mod 😭 i meant on chanceme

[plain chasm]

i think i’m going to get yield protected from dartmouth 😩

im glad cornell doesn’t have interviews

[thick abyss]

How come?

[fierce rivet]

!?

How was your interview?

[plain chasm]

it was an experience.

he started with tell me about yourself so i talked about myself. and then he questioned absolutely every detail i even began to mention with who participates in this? who are you managed by? what are you doing? how are you doing this? he questioned the legitimacy of my major ecs heavily too but i refuted him

backed everything up

and then he hit me with the

“what else do you do outside of school other than saving the planet and saving the educational system in delaware?”

so i rambled. and he was kinda uninterested. then he asked a bunch of weird questions

[thick abyss]

PPZZZ

PLZZ

[plain chasm]

he asked what my parents did for work

[thick abyss]

Was he an old man

[plain chasm]

and what my family was like and then asked what other schools i was applying to

[plain chasm]

nope

probably 40-50s

[thick abyss]

Girl that’s a lotta red flags

[fierce rivet]

Wow that seems like a really uh out of words (prolly heavy) interviews.

[fierce rivet]

Aren't the interviewers not allowed to ask about other schools!?

[wind nimbus]

me personally id email dartmouth

[plain chasm]

he did say he could clearly see i was interested in astrophysics and had taken more math now than he had in college and the fact that i’m even thinking of what research and other stuff i want to pursue in college (mentioned wanting dartmouth’s resources to pursue an individual proj, in addition to wanting to work on one of their other projects)

was remarkable

but the entire time it was kinda weird

and anytime i asked him a question he answered in regard to minority programs usually

he mentioned women in stem program which is neat though.

[plain chasm]

it’s fine… i think

he won’t write me a bad interview report

[plain chasm]

i don’t think they are but it’s fair for him to be curious

[wind nimbus]

fair

[plain chasm]

i said i applied to my state school, university of arizona (my fallback), dartmouth, and “some california schools”

[fierce rivet]

Hmm yeah.

[plain chasm]

i didn’t mention harvard or mit or anything

i said i’d like to go somewhere rural and closer to home given that’s the situation i’m currently in

🤷‍♀️

i think it’ll buff the legitimacy of my ecs though

[fierce rivet]

Well I do hope that you get in🤞. ATB!!

[sand star]

guys.. just asking

can you switch majors to a different school in cornell

[fierce rivet]

It's difficult as far as I know. But I may be wrong.

[wind nimbus]

pretty much like applying to cornell again

each school independent admissions wise so diff criteria

[sand star]

srsly? that's just insane

[wind nimbus]

within a school is easy but yes switching schools is generally difficult at cornell

doable

but hard

[sand star]

hm

[thick abyss]

I mean it makes sense

What major do u want to switch from/to?

[sand star]

humec to cas prolly

[valid matrix]

DO NOT try to get into a less selective major and try to switch afterwards

[sand star]

lmaoo

just did that

[valid matrix]

ik someone who got into harvard with east asian studies, tried to switch to cs, and is now stuck with east asian

[thick abyss]

Why would you do that 😭

@sand star it’s easier if the majors r related

[sand star]

tbh idk it's not a strategy

[thick abyss]

If not, kinda screwed

[sand star]

i just became interested in bio research in general

i applied to humec as human development major or smth

[thick abyss]

Gotcha

[sand star]

you think it's doable

"if" i got into cornell

[thick abyss]

@valid matrix what do u think

[valid matrix]

sorry, was afk, about what

[thick abyss]

I don’t have any experience like u lmao

[plain chasm]

not true btw you don’t declare a major for harvard til your second year

[thick abyss]

Human ec to bio

[plain chasm]

maybe if u do east asian studies til 2nd year then declare east asian studies

[thick abyss]

@sand star i think anything is doable tho; but I’d probably tell your counselor/college advisor pretty early on

[plain chasm]

and try to switch after

[sand star]

😭

[valid matrix]

prolly that, i dont know him well enough to enlist his entire course history

[sand star]

but if i switch majors only within humec there would be no problem?

[thick abyss]

From what I know, yes MUCH easier

[valid matrix]

i mean it depends on availability
that being i wont call myself a reliable source for cornell queries, maybe ask some upperclassmen?

[thick abyss]

Bc prereq’s r similar

[sand star]

like if

i switch from human development to fashion design..

lol

[thick abyss]

Yeah I’d try to ask some upperclassman on the cornell Reddit

[valid matrix]

well....there are some on discord too

[tawny prism]

we’re the opposite i’m thinking i should’ve applied to that major lmao

[sand star]

loll

my research on reddit says that internal transfer is pretty doable?

[amber lantern]

dude

[thick abyss]

What?

[humble meteor]

harvard yale princeton penn cornell columbia berkeley duke chicago georgetown northwestern????

also what was the major thats coming out early for cornell

[thick abyss]

Sha/ikr

ILR

[crimson zodiac]

just get in normally dude

why game the system

[amber lantern]

yes

[hollow nova]

so that he doesnt have to be externally transferring later no

on

[wind nimbus]

If u can’t get in then u didn’t deserve to be there for that major imo

Cuz there’s a level u need to succeed
