Cornell (SUNY Ithaca) (2022-2023)

[sour trail]

today or tmr but last year they came out on the 15th so

[hollow nova]

no one should be waiting for likelies

most of yall arent getting one

[sour trail]

i am..i got the emails which most ppl didn’t get

and i have a cornell ID number

from fin aid

so i’m hopeful💕🤞🏽

[vernal raven]

What emails lmao

[wicked saddle]

What does that even mean 😭

Nah this is crazy coping

[sour trail]

diversity emails

[sour trail]

coping..?

[tawny prism]

this? lmao

[sour trail]

how is being hopeful about a pattern seen through past years(happen to me) coping?😭

[thick abyss]

What emails?

Diversity emails aren’t based on if you get in to my knowledge

[sour trail]

yea but i got 3 of them

[sour trail]

yea they are

they’re not sent out of all URM

[tawny prism]

i did too

[wicked saddle]

that’s a likely fr

[tawny prism]

someone else did a deep dive on those emails a while back

[sour trail]

and usually tmr is when likelys come out from diversity and fin aid

[sour trail]

yea they’re a good sign

[tawny prism]

he dmd people who got them last year and lots were rejected

[sour trail]

i also have a 7 digit cornell id which is only for students lol

[sour trail]

oh ok

i’m just saying i have hope idk why that’s such a bad thing, this server is negative and pessimistic asf

[thick abyss]

No, I have the utmost hope for you

[hollow nova]

what is 'hope' for a likely lol

[thick abyss]

But it is important to be realistic sometimes

[hollow nova]

likely doesnt matter

[thick abyss]

But like I got into a huge fight with my dad bc of those emails and him thinking I would get one for hotel school

And I didn’t

[sour trail]

i’m glad, same to u!

[sour trail]

it’s exactly what it says it is…i’m lost at what you’re asking

[sour trail]

getting a likely is a realistic possibility. you can think like that but i’m not gonna limit myself, thanks tho!

[sour trail]

that’s u tho

keep your head up

[thick abyss]

I mean realistic as in there’s a solid shot you can get one

But one email doesn’t mean you’ll get it yk; seperate events imo

[thick abyss]

I am bae ❤️

Not even talking to him

[sour trail]

i never said there was a solid shot..i said i was looking out for one because i’m faithful but there’s no 100% chance that i’ll get one

[vernal raven]

Everyone gets those??

[sour trail]

it doesn’t you’re right. i had to write essays and get letters of rec just like all of u lmao

[sour trail]

not everyone

some ppl only got 2/3, some 1 and some URM none

[vernal raven]

…

[sour trail]

how do u know

damn

ok thanks

[wicked saddle]

no hate to you but it does get frustrating hearing people talk about how X email came in their inbox meaning it’s a likely letter

[plain coral]

Uchi wl raised my confidence too much

[sour trail]

honestly that’s not my issue lol. u can turn off your notifs or mute this server

u joined a literal college app server..

what did u expect?

[wicked saddle]

just my take

Take it how you will

[sour trail]

i got a similar email but it said to put my parents signature but thanks for telling me

[wind nimbus]

Wait they talking bout this?

Lmfao

[sour trail]

i also never said i got a likely letter, it’s just speculation

[wind nimbus]

Y r u mad it’s not that srs

[wicked saddle]

real, the tone sounds aggressive

[sour trail]

i’m not mad. they said that they’re tired of hearing something about college portals when this is a college app server. idk what u expected

[sour trail]

those weren’t my intentions, im just telling u how it is.

[wind nimbus]

Well ion wanna be that guy but portal astrology isn’t allowed on said college server and ppl entertained ur idea and said u r likely wrong so jus move on from it

[sour trail]

i’m not talking about my portal tho, i talked once about an email i received

[unborn ivy]

Bestie

It comes out in like 2 weeks

[sour trail]

no one here is to say that i’m likely wrong about anything😭none of us are AOs

[unborn ivy]

Just chill

[sour trail]

u can’t be mad at me for having hope and yea i will lmaoo

[unborn ivy]

Keep the hope to yourself then!

[sour trail]

i only talked about it because something related to what i was experiencing was said in the server. i’m free to talk about anything as doing as i am not disobeying the rules! thank you

as long*

[unborn ivy]

No you’re not

[sour trail]

yes i am. i’m following the rules lol

[unborn ivy]

material you’ve received

Is in rules

So

[sour trail]

so you should also address the other person who just sent a ss of their emails

[unborn ivy]

Sure

Link?

[sour trail]

and anyone else who mentions likelies, and u can scroll up

[wind nimbus]

They were responding to ur bs?

[vernal raven]

Yea but portal astrology and other types of astrology isnt allowed :p

[sour trail]

no..before i even entered the chat.

[unborn ivy]

Have you ever heard of spirit vs letter of the law

[sour trail]

i’m not talking about portal astrology, i was talking about an email. ppl who were talking before me were talking about likelies

[wicked saddle]

bro is capping fr

😂

[unborn ivy]

We go by spirit

[sour trail]

no

[unborn ivy]

It is very clear what I mean by the rules

[vernal raven]

You can talk about likelies, but you cant talk abt like email/portal astrology, which was what u were doing

[unborn ivy]

You’re attempting to go by the letter of the law

The community is safest when we use spirit

“Well this wasn’t written word for word so therefore I’m okay even though it can be relatively implied that it’s against the rule”

That’s letter

[sour trail]

i’m not disobeying the rules.. pls address the person who just sent a literal ss of their emails also if you’re going by spirit. i won’t talk about it again tho since everyone’s jumping me lol

[unborn ivy]

I’ll go look for them, but we’re talking to you while you’re here

[sour trail]

found it for u my love

[sour blade]

[unborn ivy]

They said it didn’t mean anything

[sour trail]

all i have to do is close my phone

[unborn ivy]

Or am I missing someone

[vernal raven]

Literally rule 5 lol

[unborn ivy]

The email person

[vernal raven]

Sending an email to show that ur wrong isnt speculating

[wind nimbus]

^^

[sour trail]

don’t pick and choose

[vernal raven]

You are speculating, you admitted it yourself

[sour trail]

i did

[vernal raven]

Its not picking and choosing

[wind nimbus]

What r u on about

[vernal raven]

The other person wasnt speculating

[sour trail]

that is tho

[vernal raven]

They were telling you that youre wrong

[thick abyss]

But no one else did lmao

We aren’t trying to argue but like our entire point was just don’t speculate abt some email

[sour trail]

y’all are tho. i said i won’t talk about it again and y’all still jumping me about it

[wind nimbus]

U had a theory said theory was wrong now u mad.

[thick abyss]

It’s great to be hopeful but it is against the rules to do that everytime you get an email

[sour trail]

no one knows if it’s wrong or not because none of you are AOs

[vernal raven]

😭😭

[sour trail]

this is my third time in this server what are u talking about

[unborn ivy]

I’m pretty sure even AOs don’t plan this

[sour trail]

i never talked about the emails when i first got them.

like i said

address everyone

[wind nimbus]

Like Kate alr said

[sour trail]

that’s sad for them

[thick abyss]

But you’re the one who brought it up

[sour trail]

i’m still gonna have hope and i’ll stop talking about it

[verbal quail]

Wazzup

[sour trail]

no i didn’t

[thick abyss]

That’s the only reason we are having this convo

[verbal quail]

Bros pooping

Are you pooping rn

[wind nimbus]

Real

[vernal raven]

Yea just drop it and move on

[wraith reef]

Nobody’s saying don’t have hope, just don’t convince yourself that you are getting signals from them that you’re not

[thick abyss]

There

[sour trail]

the reason we’re having this convo is because i talked about having hope for a likely and insecure ppl were getting on me

[verbal quail]

Oh hey William

I’ve seen you before I feel like

[sour trail]

i can do what i want, idk why that’s effecting you

[wraith reef]

Hey :D

[wind nimbus]

Insecure 💀?

[wraith reef]

Yeah I talk a decent amount

[sour trail]

yes

[vernal raven]

Its advice, dont take it up the butt

[sour trail]

yea

[wind nimbus]

By that logic we all getting one cuz I got exact same shit u did

[verbal quail]

You have the right to shit wherever you want, whenever you want, and however you want! Isn’t the 1st amendment amazing

[wind nimbus]

Y would I be insecure if that meant good things for me?

[sour trail]

i didn’t ask for the advice, we’re all teens looking to get into a good college. don’t try to dim the light that i have because you have low expectations for yourself

[plain chasm]

no astrology

[sour trail]

ok

[wind nimbus]

Hope u get in on ivy day cuz if not I’m clowning ur ahh 😂

[wraith reef]

Bro nobody’s saying you’re not gonna get in (although if this conversation is any indicator I might question it), people are just saying the email doesn’t mean anything

[vernal raven]

This is crazy ngl 😭

[plain coral]

Ok

[sour trail]

i hope so too and if i don’t that’s ok because i’m not scared or rejection

of*

[sour trail]

none of u know this.

[plain coral]

It may have been a misunderstanding or they may have said some astrology

Just move on

[sour trail]

LMAO

[wind nimbus]

Ay

[plain coral]

Move on.

Cats

[plain chasm]

kittyhog day

[sour trail]

🤭

[wind nimbus]

Anyways

[verbal quail]

@sour trail one question tho

what the hell is a diversity likely letter

[wraith reef]

Afaik it doesn’t exist

[verbal quail]

yeah it def does not

probably some a2c rumor

[plain coral]

Probs a likely letter for urm

Cuz likely letters r mostly for athletes and urm i thought

Idkbi saw that when i googled the definition of a likely letter

💀😭

[sour trail]

i’ll send a link from reddit

[sour trail]

what are u talking about

it’s in a college admissions video too lmao

😭

it’s definitely real

but like y’all said

🤫🤫🤫

LMAO

[verbal quail]

wow how credible!

please share this insightful knowledge from the peer reviewed journal known as Reddit

[sour trail]

aren’t u in this discord from reddit? pls

😂

[hollow nova]

diversity likely letters are definitely a real thing, idk if cornell does them though

duke for example does have them

[verbal quail]

no

I simply typed: discord.gg/a2c

pretty ez to access

I stopped using reddit after like 8th grade

when I found out about the uh

[sour trail]

they do

[verbal quail]

Darwin Awards

[sacred pasture]

Yall please why are we arguing about this

[sour trail]

https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/t/diversity-hosting-likely-letters/1891484

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/b260wj/why_did_i_get_an_likely_letter_from_cornell_for/

i can’t find the youtube video but i’ll try to!!!!!

@verbal quail

[verbal quail]

wow gunkers is really cool

[verbal quail]

anyhow did you get a diversity likely letter?

I'll extend this to anyone in this channel

[sour trail]

they’re not out yet

[sacred pasture]

I dont think anyone got likely letters

[sour trail]

literally LMAO

[verbal quail]

Well well well

[wicked saddle]

Lmao half hour later and bro is still going

Drop the guard already lmao

[sour trail]

you’re not going far with that attitude young man

[sacred pasture]

Literally ☠️

[verbal quail]

@wicked saddle what's your pfp of btw? I like it a lot

[wicked saddle]

it’s nishi which is Japanese kanji for west

[verbal quail]

oh I already know

[verbal quail]

ooh that's cool

I need to learn kanji but it seems hard 😭

[wicked saddle]

lmao I only learned it cuz I did client work for someone who needed it on a design and I just made it my pfp

[verbal quail]

sheeeesh

[hollow nova]

@verbal quail are u going to cornell?

[sacred pasture]

Is it the same as the Chinese characters from which they were derived

[verbal quail]

Nah

cmu

[hollow nova]

oh

cs?

[verbal quail]

engineering

[wraith reef]

Sheeeshhhh nice

[hollow nova]

oo

[wicked saddle]

I believe so ur not the first person who said that

[verbal quail]

I did tour cornell though... super nice campus

but as you can see

[wraith reef]

did you do ed1 or 2 to cmu

[verbal quail]

it appears that this diversity likely letter thing is constricted to 2017... then no word of it since

[wicked saddle]

how’s Ithaca?

[verbal quail]

super good food, I love the cold so amazing weather, and the campus is pretty

[wicked saddle]

Living vicariously through all of you rn

[verbal quail]

problems: it's like 2 hours from the nearest airport that actually has flights to places, far from any city life, and cornell's campus is hard to walk around in the winter time

[wicked saddle]

I figured

[verbal quail]

2

(I ed3'd)

[wraith reef]

Oh nice, ed1 anywhere?

[verbal quail]

harvey mudd

that's my 1R

[wraith reef]

Good choice

[sour trail]

ppl got it last year

[hollow nova]

i mean not really he got rejected

(jk)

rejected ed1 gang

[wraith reef]

Me :((

[verbal quail]

as far as this server, no

[wraith reef]

Wait no

I got deferred

I forgot

[verbal quail]

nah I'm happy (or just coping)

kinda gladge I don't have to go to a school with only 18 asians in a graduating class :lmao:

ikr

but I remember checking this brochure during a college fair where they said they had like 18 asians, ~30-40 white people, and rest were people of color (not asians)

[vernal raven]

For harvey mudd?

[verbal quail]

yep

[vernal raven]

damn

[verbal quail]

also keep in mind that like

[vernal raven]

I knew it was a small school but not that small

[floral rapids]

what time do you guys think likelies will drop

[vernal raven]

They wont, likelies are fake 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[verbal quail]

(it's super small... smaller than caltech even iirc)

[verbal quail]

:lmao:

I feel like likelies are super super rare and only given to people who are soooo competitive for college admissions that they might commit to another top tier school instead

but I might be capping so someone fact check me

[vernal raven]

Nah thats how they are

[hollow nova]

someone from my school got one from cornell last year and got into all of HYPSM later on

so yeah

[verbal quail]

||and I mean the kind of competitive where the students have better things to do than spend their time arguing about likely letters in A2C lmao||

[hollow nova]

very rare

and reserved

[verbal quail]

sheeesh

someone from my school last year got into every college with under a 10% acceptance rate in america, and didn't get any likely letters

(but she was an anomaly... no one from my school has as good a track record as her)

[livid tulip]

I see the strangest most passive aggressive grass-deficient conversations on here

[verbal quail]

preach man

totally not guilty

but in my defense, I haven't really been active here for a few months so I got the feels for the matrix-created, 4k-rendered lifeform known as grass

[sour trail]

make sure u @ me

[plain chasm]

agreed, how are you doing virsan

[wraith reef]

Yeah there’s one person like that in my school this year—they applied for cs at a t5 for cs without any cs ecs and got in because their app is so strong overall

[hollow perch]

wait so do most cornell students use the ithaca airport or get there another way

[sour trail]

yea they use the Ithaca airport

[verbal quail]

@sour trail

[verbal quail]

to go to another airport before getting to their final location

there were 0 flights from Feb 27-March 3 from Ithaca to Pittsburgh

imagine that

had to drive to syracuse airport

[tulip barn]

the financial aid office is separate from admissions @sour trail

[sour trail]

i’m aware of that but the email gave me an ID and said that they needed it before the deadline to determine my aid, should i be admitted. that was why i tried looking into it but be careful talking about anything related to that because it’s against the “rules”

[grim zealot]

Got the same shit but saw on Reddit that someone got a bunch of them right before d decision day and got rejected

[sacred pasture]

Financial aid offices crunch through aid for everyone before decisions

Whether accepted or not

They literally can't see

Everyone has an ID (it's on your portal)

[buoyant kestrel]

🤭

[tough pebble]

everyone has an ID

[turbid nimbus]

when are likelies dropping???

[tulip barn]

well

idk if they already have

if they haven’t, prob tmw

[wicked saddle]

there really isnt any valid portal astrology, at least for cornell lol

[grim zealot]

Yep

[wicked saddle]

i didnt even get my aid for a whole two months after i was even admitted

[grim zealot]

I agree my application shit so I know

[turbid nimbus]

how do u know

just guessing?

[wicked saddle]

i wouldn't even worry about getting a likely. if u get one cool, if not doesn't mean much or take u out of the race

[thick abyss]

How’s it been Danny

[wicked saddle]

whats upppp riley. been busy tryna grind out the rest of the SY haha. i thought maybeee by now i would've freed up time but its been the opposite 😭

[thick abyss]

What’s sy again I’m so out of it lmao

[wicked saddle]

school year myb

[thick abyss]

OHH lmao

No for real

I’m swamped sm rn

[wicked saddle]

did you get into UNC?

[tulip barn]

just guessing cuz last yr ivy day was on the 31 and likely letters were sent out on the 17th

so maybe tmw or 16th

idk but only a small number of ppl get them anyways

so not gonna count on it

[wind nimbus]

qhow much they gt u payin

if u dont mind

[thick abyss]

I did!

[wicked saddle]

ooo thats huge, congrats. i know a few ppl going from my school 🙏

[wicked saddle]

u ask how much per year?

[wind nimbus]

ye

[thick abyss]

Hell yeah thank you!

So scared for Cornell

[wind nimbus]

same : )

[wicked saddle]

costs about the same as my state school (UMD) w/o room/board. but thats just my situation, could look way different for you

[wind nimbus]

ah ic

was jus tryn know how good aid was generally but ty

[wicked saddle]

its great they rly give u all the money you need. ~14k per year including room/board at the #6 school for my major is just insane

[wind nimbus]

praying so hard i get in uz my state school got me on 30k a year

[wicked saddle]

30k??? gyat room/board must be insane

[wind nimbus]

yr for va tech too

like good school but

[wicked saddle]

i wouldn't have dormed at umd tbf. i live pretty close

[wind nimbus]

: I

[plain chasm]

hi guys new favorite school!

[wind nimbus]

im 3 hrs away so

[wind nimbus]

welcome

man college admissions humbled tf out of me

[wicked saddle]

Yeah im very fortunate for that😭

[plain chasm]

i’m 1/1/3 rn 💀

[naive grove]

💀

[naive grove]

unlucky

[plain chasm]

Shhhh

yeah i got rejected from ALL of the tech schools 😭

[naive grove]

I got fucked by MIT

but it was my 6th choice

so idc

[plain chasm]

not a skill issue that’s on them

they couldn’t appreciate my humanities

[wicked saddle]

hows UVA?

[wind nimbus]

i got a 7k scholarship but still

[naive grove]

yeah MIT saw this

and yield protected me

[wind nimbus]

round same range i think but like i got deferred

which is just a soft rejection

lmao

[plain chasm]

ngl i didn’t want to get in

if i got in and all of my friends were rejected

i’d feel hella bad

we can all be rejected together

[wind nimbus]

man im down bad rn

vt uf gmu

[wind nimbus]

real af for that

[plain chasm]

uf is amazing

same w/ vt and gmu

i know someone who goes to vt and loves it

[wind nimbus]

it is but for cs vt> and cheaper +politics

[grim crown]

same 🤗 but we grow cornell brown Upenn and northwestern love time

[plain chasm]

ugh i love northwestern so much

[wind nimbus]

im not complaining too much like my parents said my worst case is someones best case

[thick abyss]

Guys it’s fine

[wicked saddle]

damn that is fked. man i was fully prepared to go to cc and transfer if i had to. these numbers per year are insane

[grim crown]

if i couldn’t get into my ed or mit zero shot i get into a dual degree at upenn 🙁

[thick abyss]

We all got in

I said so

[grim crown]

frfr

[plain chasm]

fr

[grim crown]

do you guys like my box

i made it for my calc project

[thick abyss]

Ooo

What’s inside

[grim crown]

nothing

it’s just a box😭

[wicked saddle]

three separate schools with three separate sets of oldheads sitting in a table voting on who gets in

[thick abyss]

LMAO

[grim crown]

that was the hole project

[thick abyss]

@wicked saddle do I have a shot at hotel

[grim crown]

you’re right thank you

[thick abyss]

I’m spiraling

Bc of those stupid likely letters

Idk they don’t matter but

[wicked saddle]

Yes u do lol

[grim crown]

danny what are your thoughts on ben ten

[wicked saddle]

im honestly curious what yield rate is for the hotel school. i feel like a lot of ppl just apply to apply soz they just resort to sending some W's early to get ppl more excited idk

[wicked saddle]

i use to watch when i was younger

but i rly fw danny phantom

;p

[thick abyss]

88%

RLY high I was kinda surprised

[grim crown]

🤗

[wicked saddle]

where u see that at? whoa

[naive grove]

it is the most elite hotel school by a good amount, no?

personally that makes sense to me

like wtf other elite school even has a hotel school

[grim crown]

in a non mean way what is the point of a hotel school what is the majors they have? hospitality

[thick abyss]

Give me a sec to find it

[grim crown]

i’m curious idk the majors cornell rlly has

[wicked saddle]

yes its basically the best in the world. but the degree is very niche id argue most who apply arent necessarily looking to work in the hotel industry

[thick abyss]

Hospitality, business law, finance, restaurant, operations, marketing, accounting, and real estate

[wicked saddle]

its basically a business degree with required hospitality experience/courses

[grim crown]

oh that actually doesn’t sound bad at all

that sounds like a great experience

[wind nimbus]

soye considering it if a school doesnt pull thru my efc is 9k too 💀

[thick abyss]

@wicked saddle

Help me break this down plz

[wicked saddle]

and the school is a pipeline to basically any high finance/business field

[thick abyss]

Agreed! People hate on it but employers like it at least

Def easier than Dyson tho

[wicked saddle]

dyson 🥶

[thick abyss]

Oh ok I was wrong

Yield is 80%

[tulip barn]

YOOO hi Danny

[candid abyss]

That's still high

[thick abyss]

16% acceptance rate 😭

THATS HORRIBLE

[wicked saddle]

thats insane and totally flipped my perspective lol

[thick abyss]

Ooo

[tulip barn]

Would def go to dyson if accepted

[wicked saddle]

YERRRRR

[wicked saddle]

PLS COME JOIN ME

[tulip barn]

I WANT TOOOOO

[wicked saddle]

WE CAN START A STARTUP OR SOMETHIN IDK

[tulip barn]

LMAO yes

we should start a cool club

[wicked saddle]

u got into UMD i assume?

[grim crown]

if i got into dyson the only other school that would have to accept me for me to not go to cornell is like UPenn but only lsm

[wicked saddle]

ooo u applied dyson too?

[grim crown]

yeah🫡

i don’t rlly have many options as of now though 😭 just umich

[wicked saddle]

damn prayin yall are my fellow classmates. im super curious how many spots they filled from ED cuz dyson is only a class of like ~200

[grim crown]

[wicked saddle]

[wicked saddle]

ur nothing with your watch

[tulip barn]

[wicked saddle]

[tulip barn]

mine would be Columbia it’s been a dream since sixth grade

[wicked saddle]

i havent heard of a single person who got it and at least like ~75+ from my school got in LOL

[grim crown]

actually ben ten is hot so 🥱 and technically is you look at future ben he knows how to use mana cause gwen later teaches him so he still has annodite powers

[tulip barn]

i don’t think one is better than the other tbh or maybe it’s honors bc they have more perks

[tulip barn]

LMAO 2 ppl from my school got it

[wicked saddle]

Bruh not surprised we are kinda slow in the head over here in PG

[thick abyss]

@wicked saddle @grim crown can I be secretary or treasurer for hr club

[wicked saddle]

[thick abyss]

[wicked saddle]

Agreed honestly

[thick abyss]

Is 6 a lot?

[wicked saddle]

i could've sworn i saw more

[thick abyss]

Ohhh

[wicked saddle]

like a disprop amt of hotel kids were posted LOL im like damn where all my ppl at

[thick abyss]

It’s because they released likely letters last week

[tulip barn]

The delusions of thinking I’m gonna get a Cornell likely

[thick abyss]

15 more got in early for rd @wicked saddle

[wicked saddle]

noo even before that ngl

[thick abyss]

JUST for hotel school

[static tangle]

Why everyone talking ab likely letters

[wicked saddle]

Wtf

[static tangle]

R they comin out or somethin

[wicked saddle]

Yeee this week at this rate

[tulip barn]

Yeah like either tomorrow or two days probably

[wind nimbus]

they r but like idk y everyone think they fin get one

[static tangle]

Do they just email them all at once

Or something

[tulip barn]

Cornell usually sends them out the latest

[wicked saddle]

🙏

[thick abyss]

Make me feel good PLz 😭

I rly want to go

Rly bad

[rapid silo]

i dont get the point of a likely letter if you're gonna send it about 7 minutes before decision comes out 😭

[wind nimbus]

like i think if u hvnt received any ur prolly not getting one

[tulip barn]

Idk why Cornell does them so late

[wind nimbus]

cuz isnt it for ppl who r competitive for other ivies?

[thick abyss]

Correct

[tulip barn]

Yeah that’s true but Cornell hasn’t sent out theirs

[thick abyss]

Or special programs

[wind nimbus]

ik they hvnt

[tulip barn]

Yeah it’s for rly strong applicants

[static tangle]

Do they email them tomorrow

Not like ima get one but jw

[tulip barn]

Not sure but def this week

[wicked saddle]

thank u LOL cuz im thinking either we're all hiding or they just didnt admit that many ppl from ED. but tbf i didnt even post there yet soz im a hypocrite

[candid abyss]

Cornell's still reviewing apps as of yesterday (source: info meeting)

[tulip barn]

Yeah no point in stressing over it

[wind nimbus]

im just saying like if u hvnt gotten a likely likelihood is ur jus not getting one
ofc we can still get in but like ppl holding on to the idea too much

[thick abyss]

I’m just hoping good grades, resume, ec’s, lors, essays and vibes can pull me through

[buoyant kestrel]

i asked martha she said they come out friday

[wind nimbus]

same tbh

[rapid silo]

yeah sorry it's taking so long. my app was so good they spent 4 days in awe of it

[wind nimbus]

real

[tulip barn]

They spent a week on nine

[wicked saddle]

i heard they are understaffed asf across the board. not even surprised by this

[tulip barn]

Mine

[thick abyss]

BC THEY EXTEBDED THE DEADLINE SM

[wind nimbus]

i put my whole badussy into that app

[candid abyss]

Really stringing you guys along

[wind nimbus]

so y extend deadline fr fr

[wicked saddle]

Cuz they knew they needed more time haha

[wind nimbus]

id be surprised if they came out on ivy day at this rate

[thick abyss]

Nah they have to

They look RLY bad if not

[wind nimbus]

o yeah ofc

[rapid silo]

6:59 PM EST

[wicked saddle]

somehow they gonna pull thru. id argue the ppl who submitted around feb might be at the end of the stick

[wind nimbus]

thats wut im thinking too

i sent mine 3 days before the first deadline

so im chilling ig

[wicked saddle]

i think i submitted my ED day of 💀

[rapid silo]

hey today's my 5 month anniversary of sending in my cornell app 🥳

[wind nimbus]

same for my ed

[wind nimbus]

now y tf

did u do so early

[candid abyss]

They probably won't get likelies then, they might send them without reviewing all the students

[rapid silo]

i knew my senior year would be so incredibly busy

[wind nimbus]

smart

[rapid silo]

so from august until october i worked my butt off to get em out of the way

my first one went in september 26th

[wind nimbus]

i jus did mine during christmas

i aint hv nun goin on

[rapid silo]

i wanted to enjoy my break

and i got to which was nice

[wicked saddle]

yeeeee

[wind nimbus]

real

[rapid silo]

yeah i was aiming to be finished by halloween

but i didnt finish until november 1st

😠

one day off

[wicked saddle]

damn 31st quickly approaching tho

[rapid silo]

!ivyday

[wind nimbus]

real

[rapid silo]

tomorrow is 2 weeks away

[candid abyss]

Can't believe march is basically half way over

[wind nimbus]

lmfao

[naive grove]

I accepted there is a 0% chance I get any likelies once I got rejected from MIT

[wind nimbus]

needs to speed up and slow down at the exact same time

[vernal raven]

and i still havent gotten a single rd decision

[wind nimbus]

like i wanna know

but i dont

[wicked saddle]

cheer up Dude

means nothing

just one school

[naive grove]

Yeah

[wicked saddle]

and its fkn mit

[wind nimbus]

fr

[naive grove]

I think I can get into places still

but if my app was strong enough for ivy likely

[candid abyss]

March came in without saying a word and is going to leave the same way

[naive grove]

I wouldnt get flat rejected

[wicked saddle]

they are one of the only schools left even requiring test scores

[naive grove]

I have a 1590 bro

I was so happy

[rapid silo]

one school =/= future decisions

[vernal raven]

maybe

[naive grove]

abt that

[rapid silo]

i am first hand proof of that

[naive grove]

it was my leg up

Lmao

[candid abyss]

I hope you get one soon!!

[rapid silo]

my ass got rejected from MIT EA. they only reject 20% in that round

[vernal raven]

or maybe mit knows u dont fit their kinda image

like u still have a chance at likelies bc u might fit other t20s way better than mit

[rapid silo]

^^

[plain chasm]

didn’t you also get into uchi

[rapid silo]

yes

[naive grove]

oh well the likely doesnt matter as long as you get in

[rapid silo]

exactly what im saying

[plain chasm]

lmao

[vernal raven]

true

[wicked saddle]

how many ppl u think even get liklies??

[rapid silo]

i thought i wasn't worth shit because i got rejected from MIT then boom

[wind nimbus]

man ive gotten rejected from 6 of my top choices its kinda a good indicator atp

[naive grove]

idk

like 1-3%

something along those lines

of admitteds

[wind nimbus]

and uva deferral is essentially a rejection

so

[rapid silo]

i'm rooting for you

[plain chasm]

i have gotten 0 rejections from non-tech schools

😳

[wicked saddle]

so virtually it means nothing. u still in the game bro 💪

[naive grove]

Yeah I know I'm still in the game tyty

[wind nimbus]

prayin

[plain chasm]

(i got rejected from all of my tech schools)

[naive grove]

like I haven't accepted going to CC

or anything

[rare kettle]

You always hear those crazy stories. All you need is one college to see something in you, don't lose hope.

If they all made the same decision we wouldn't apply to so many haha

[wicked saddle]

its ivy or CC for you?

[naive grove]

no no

i was just talking

although

[wind nimbus]

ye i mean i did 27 so

[wicked saddle]

bout to say lmfao

[naive grove]

kind of cus thats how my mom is

[wicked saddle]

igu igu

[rare kettle]

so you got 21 left? sheesh.

[wicked saddle]

she dont like ur state school??

[naive grove]

No

Im from oklahoma though

so thats understandable

[wicked saddle]

oh LOL

[naive grove]

:imde

but anyways

idk

she doesnt even like

fucking duke bro

she was like

[wind nimbus]

essentially

[naive grove]

"duke is an ok school"

Fucking skull

but she is still willing to pay it

[rare kettle]

the fuck that's my dream school

[wind nimbus]

💀

[wicked saddle]

parent logic

[wind nimbus]

aint no way

[naive grove]

the "worst" school that I applied is michigan (lol)

or maybe USC

[rare kettle]

you got that. i believe in you bro.

[wind nimbus]

hv u gotten in anywherE?

[thick abyss]

Did you get into anything so far?

[wicked saddle]

they dont realize how difficult it is to get in til the child gets rejected

[thick abyss]

Like targets

[wind nimbus]

ty ty

[naive grove]

She wants me to take a gap and wont pay if it isnt around t20 or so

[wind nimbus]

tbh a lot of us didnt either

[naive grove]

lol

so there are no targets

[wind nimbus]

i knew itd be hard but like

[rare kettle]

I've gotten two acceptances (from state schools), a deferral and a waitlist so I don't know where I stand

[naive grove]

Nope

1 defer, 1 WL, 1 reject

[rare kettle]

@thick abyss Out of curiosity, what would take precedent over UNC for you?

[wicked saddle]

fair enough but for a while i was obsessing over my school's naviance statistics so i rly just kept my expectations realistic

bars

[livid tulip]

Pretty good, I got into UNC, UMD, and UIUC. So my college stress is fairly gone, all I have to worry about now is the RD colleges

[rare kettle]

she's a--interesting lady

[naive grove]

I have no stats from my school cus no one from here has ever >1200 SAT or gone to a t50 lol

its relatively new, title 1, 50% grad rate

💀

[rapid silo]

on one hand i wish my school had naviance but on the other im literally the first person applying to half these unis from my school ever

[wind nimbus]

i dont even hv naviance so idek but my gpa is skewed cuz i moved from intl but everything else is pretty good like sat ecs and essays

[hollow nova]

which schools if udont mind

[rare kettle]

yeah facts now that i'm into UNC I'm just like "bring it other schools! you can't hurt me!"

[naive grove]

Harvard defer, UChicago WL, MIT reject

[hollow nova]

oh

well those are all brutal

[livid tulip]

Are you out of state

[naive grove]

well

every school I applied

is brutal

Lmao

[hollow nova]

hmm

[naive grove]

although admittedly

[wind nimbus]

but im scared cuz i called uiuc ot ask y i was rejected and they said everything was great but my grades were too much of a concern for cs

[rare kettle]

so you're good, just not that good. UChicago WL is a feat.

[rare kettle]

nope in state

[wicked saddle]

damn it really was a godsend and help me make my ED decision

[rare kettle]

makes it even better

[naive grove]

harvard, MIT, UChicago RD are substantially more brutal

[vernal raven]

u got into duke?

[naive grove]

than some of the others I applied

[wind nimbus]

so now im wondering if im even getting any of my reaches

[naive grove]

nono

[wicked saddle]

i see

[naive grove]

but if I get in

[vernal raven]

ohh

i was gonna say duke is an insane school lol

[rare kettle]

Why? It's just an okay school. /s

[vernal raven]

i wish i applied

[livid tulip]

I’m OOS, so that 12% acceptance rate for oos has me feeling confident about the other schools

[naive grove]

I hope so

Idk

[rare kettle]

Yessir niceeeee, proud of you

[naive grove]

I think I probably get in somewhere

[rare kettle]

Idk if I could've gotten in oos

[livid tulip]

I think I have a good chance of getting into UMich, I got deferred from there, like most people

[vernal raven]

yea if u got waitlisted at uchi ur obviously t20 material

[rare kettle]

I mean the Waitlist rate last year was 15%

[rare kettle]

REALLY? 👀

[plain chasm]

congrats!

[vernal raven]

yes

[livid tulip]

Thanks man, what other colleges have you heard back from?

[livid tulip]

Thanks calypso, good luck for JHU this Friday!

[plain chasm]

thanks

[vernal raven]

if ur getting waitlisted at a t20 it means they honestly really wanted u, but ran out of space in their class

[rare kettle]

Does that mean I'm either Duke, UPenn, Cornell, Columbia, Northwestern, NYU, Brown, Harvard, or Yale Material? I just need one man.

[rare kettle]

^

[vernal raven]

idk i cant guarantee but it means uchi definitely wanted u

[hollow nova]

uchicago waitlists a big chunk though

[rare kettle]

How about you?

[naive grove]

I hope

[rare kettle]

Decently low percentage actually. At least last year. 15%.

[naive grove]

I wrote UChicago app in legit two hours

but I think the essays were actually stioll like

decent

💀

[rare kettle]

I wrote it over a month. 😆

[naive grove]

like pretty good Im good at getting shit done fast

[rare kettle]

That's 29 days on the uncommon essay and 1 day on the "Why us?" btw 😆

[livid tulip]

I got into UPitt and Penn State last year, they’re rolling admissions, I got into UMD, UNc, and UIUC this year

[rare kettle]

You mean calendar year, right? 🤨

That's really good by the way. Congrats.

[livid tulip]

I think youll probably have a decent chance at duke and nyu

[livid tulip]

Yeah

[rare kettle]

And I'm just rolling the dice with the others, right? 😆

[rare kettle]

Okay nice

[naive grove]

I regret not applying NYU

[livid tulip]

Along with most everyone else who applied

The only ones who are almost guaranteed to get in are athletes when they get an offer

[naive grove]

my mom wa slike "its a bum ass school" so I didnt apply 💀

[rare kettle]

I won't go if I get in. Seems like a shitty school. No campus, exorbitant prices, and if WW3 breaks out, the campus (that does not exist) will be nuked.

[livid tulip]

Everyone else who’s applying strictly academically is rolling the dice

[hollow nova]

price is cheaper than columbia 💀

[rare kettle]

I was on a tour at Duke and we saw a group of athlete and they were like "Woah a book" in the library lmao.

[thick abyss]

Why did you listen to them bro

[rare kettle]

Their fin aid is dog shit though, unlike Columbia.

[thick abyss]

And not like ur counselor

[livid tulip]

I have an acquaintance who goes there to play football

He’s dumb as hell but he’s amazing at football, so good on him

[hollow nova]

so you're saying you wont go based on the assumption you wont get financial aid lol

[rare kettle]

😆

[livid tulip]

Can’t hate talent

[rare kettle]

No, I have my other reasons.

Plus, I feel like being in NYC would be really distracting for my studies. The same applies to Columbia, it's lower on my list of preferences.

Like if I got into all my schools, I wouldn't be going to Chicago or NYC.

[plain chasm]

Idk it depends on your priorities

[hallow sierra]

[thick abyss]

Chicago is the best city

But I wouldn’t want to go to school there either

[plain chasm]

columbia is a top school for me because of their IR masters joint

[hollow nova]

NYC >>>>

[rare kettle]

My English teacher went to Columbia and said all her friends failed out and had to transfer because they were too distracted by being in NYC

[thick abyss]

Vegas>Chicago>New York city

[rare kettle]

Yet you're trying to escape it and come to Chapel Hill? 🤔

[plain chasm]

I can do astrophysics + policy undergrad -> IR masters (1y) -> astrophysics phd

which is optimal for me

[thick abyss]

Nah I don’t want unc

Too many red flags

[rare kettle]

Sheesh

[thick abyss]

But highest ranked so idk

[rare kettle]

Like what?

[thick abyss]

God so many

[rare kettle]

I found this Wikipedia page in English class, scared me - a former UNC Class President got murdered: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Eve_Carson

[thick abyss]

Very high sa rate, not direct admit to business and hard to get, basketball is their whole personality but they kinda suck at it

[thick abyss]

and this now wtf

[rare kettle]

They're usually damn good

[hollow nova]

they went to the finals last year 💀

[wind nimbus]

[rare kettle]

But that's fair. To be fair, the SA rate at most schools is far too high. College is a shitty place.

[thick abyss]

I’m taking out my current frustrations

Princeton did better than us

[rare kettle]

Northwestern did better than UNC too

[hollow nova]

princeton #1

[thick abyss]

Idk they don’t have any security cameras in dorm halls

Kinda freaks me out

[rare kettle]

Maybe you should check out UNC Asheville

[rare kettle]

Is that not normal? NC State doesn't within the suites.

[rare kettle]

Since they did better in bball

[thick abyss]

God no

Unc kids r annoying enough

[rare kettle]

But you can visit the Biltmore every weekend

[thick abyss]

PREFACE

[rare kettle]

Like a hopeless romantic

[thick abyss]

annoying as in all from NC

[rare kettle]

Like the main character

[thick abyss]

I’m realizing that I want diversity

Asheville is even more just nc

[rare kettle]

Asheville has hella druggies

But so does any college campus

[rare kettle]

Ouch.

[rare kettle]

Well UNC is pretty good at that unless you mean geographic diversity

[wicked saddle]

im tryna be like u danny frfr (how do i get cornell to love me)

[rare kettle]

NC is a pretty diverse state. I live in the middle of country folk and city slickers so I would know. I have a southern accent, but not too much of a southern accent. I am a melting pot.

[tulip barn]

my stats are my downfall

so I’m glad dyson is test blind

[limpid ocean]

im like 2/1/4 lol

[wicked saddle]

damn lucky, i got like 2 L grades i hope they just ignore that, gpa still 3.9 + wtv decimal after that so shld be fine

gonna continue gaslighting myself that because grinnell accepted me with a 9% accept rate it means cornell is still a bright future

[wicked saddle]

LMFAO what major u apply for gang?

also your graphics are SICK

[rare kettle]

fax i don’t want Luke Robitaille ruining the curve in my math classes

[thick abyss]

Geographic diversity

You and @left elk are rly cool!

I just feel like an outsider when 9/10 kids r from same state

It’s stupid Ik

[rare kettle]

Huh, I can understand that. And I can understand that UNC kids are prudish (that's the biggest stereotype about the school). You're definitely disadvantaged in making friends because some people will just keep their high school friends or bond over their upbringing so I get that.

[thick abyss]

Yeahhh this is exactly how I’m feeling

Everyone posting being like I’m from xyz town and I’m like girl what

[rare kettle]

I will say, I know people at NC State who are from out of state and have had no problem making friends. They are both very extroverted though. But people think it's cool that they're from afar, not weird.

[thick abyss]

Oo ok

I can be quirky

[rare kettle]

To be fair, I don't know about any towns outside of a 20 mile radius from where I live lmao.

If you told me the name of a random town in NC I probably wouldn't know it

[thick abyss]

Lemme try

[rare kettle]

Not trying to make a case for UNC I'm just thinking...

[wicked saddle]

thank u thank u bro 🙏 i applied as a biology major at CAS

[thick abyss]

Apex

[wicked saddle]

ik im fighting an uphill battle against the premeds

[wicked saddle]

🙏 same bruh. didnt even submit any AP scores either

😭

[rare kettle]

Another thing is that the beach kids in NC have nothing in common with the mountain kids in UNC. So we aren't all on the same team lol.

[wicked saddle]

dude u gotta find work for an org

[rare kettle]

That's within the radius lol.

[wicked saddle]

i do actually

[thick abyss]

Im@a beach kid

Is that bad

[sacred pasture]

Honestly so close to committing to unc

[wicked saddle]

i have a few i work with but i havent worked alot lately

thats awesome man ik ppl are fiends for graphics

[thick abyss]

Im a beach kid bc seaglass

[wicked saddle]

damnn'

[rare kettle]

Nah. The beach kids from NC, in my experiences, are like the Pogues from Outer Banks though.

[thick abyss]

LMAOO

[rare kettle]

Wait, how the hell are you a beach kid when Chicago is freezing half of the year

[thick abyss]

Chicago is right by Lake Michigan

[rare kettle]

The Great Lakes don't have real beaches 😝

[thick abyss]

Im 5 min away from a beach

YES WE DO

[wicked saddle]

good luck to you man fr. if it doesnt work out the way you want just know u are not limited by any fkn means

[rare kettle]

Nah, you haven't seen a real beach.

You're not a beach beach.

[thick abyss]

Try me

My beach is great

[rare kettle]

You can't go ice skating at a real beach.

BURNNNNN

[thick abyss]

It’s where Ferris buelliers day off was filmed

[wicked saddle]

Baguette boy schoolin yal

[thick abyss]

…you can’t here either

The lake doesn’t freeze over

[rare kettle]

I appreciate the support brother

[rare kettle]

🤨 Doesn't it? You can ice skate at Northwestern.

[wicked saddle]

appreciated bro we'll see 🙏 hope i see u in ithaca

[thick abyss]

Sexy beach

[thick abyss]

Yeah bc they have an ice skating rink LMAO

[rare kettle]

Lmao you have .2 miles of beach and then forest.

[rare kettle]

No...

[thick abyss]

Correct

[rare kettle]

I'm right about this damnit

I'll have you know that I had a layover in Chicago once, so I know my stuff

[thick abyss]

Nah I’m sorry

Idk where I live

I repent

[rare kettle]

Correct.

Well damn, who knew

I could've sworn it froze over

Well, either way, in all seriousness, the beaches here are different than those, and the beaches in Salt Lake City are different than those, and then the beaches on the West Coast are different from all those, etc.

[thick abyss]

But also I go to Mexico a bit

They have real beaches

[rare kettle]

Oo nice

I must say

[thick abyss]

Glencoe beach is real in my heart

[rare kettle]

Floating in the Great Salt Lake was a weird experience

[thick abyss]

Hey it’s better beaching then cornell at least

[thick abyss]

Dude I’m so mad I didn’t go on my Israel trip

Floating in Dead Sea would have been lit

[rare kettle]

Lmao yeah

[rare kettle]

Oh yeah, Great Salt Lake is just like that

Utah is a different world (wo)man

[thick abyss]

UTAH HAS A SALT LAKE?

[candid abyss]

Salt Lake City?

[vernal raven]

pink reveal

[rare kettle]

SALT LAKE City is its capital

[thick abyss]

If I get into cornell

But I ain’t sending bikini pics here

[thick abyss]

CAP

[rare kettle]

Tf

I was just talking about how I floated in it

🗿

[thick abyss]

Utah doesn’t have a capital

[vernal raven]

oh but somewhere else??????

[thick abyss]

I would know

Mormons live there

[rare kettle]

Their capital is the Church of Jesus Christ

[thick abyss]

Ah right

[thick abyss]

Lmao sure

I’d do Vegas pics tho

[rare kettle]

Did you have a layover there?

[thick abyss]

I will say that I have this sick one from Mexico

[thick abyss]

I’d rather hide in a hole then go to family YouTuber land

[rare kettle]

💀

I went to Rubik's Cube Nationals there

I wish I was kidding

[thick abyss]

SICKKK

I’ve seen that on TikTok

[rare kettle]

I'm in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM89J_SG4EY

Somewhere, can't tell you where

[thick abyss]

Did u win

[rare kettle]

No I did awful

I was so nervous

I averaged around 10 seconds back then

But got a 12.5 second average

[thick abyss]

For an entire rubrix cube?

That is INSANELY good

[rare kettle]

Yup

I hit 8.5 at my peak

Now I'm at 11 ish

[thick abyss]

How is that even possible for a 4x4

[rare kettle]

It's alright, there are some people way better

[thick abyss]

Dude film this plz

[rare kettle]

My 4x4 average is about 40 seconds

[thick abyss]

Put it in celebration area 😏

[rare kettle]

Uhh, sure, what do you want to see? Standard 3x3?

[thick abyss]

Plz

I’ve always loved watching people do it

I’m not that smart Lmao

[rare kettle]

Okay one second

[snow harness]

[tulip barn]

Pls I only submitted three

[wicked saddle]

[sour trail]

[rare kettle]

Nope, GTSM3. Super old, I haven't bought new cubes in a long time.

[wheat dew]
