Cornell (SUNY Ithaca) (2022-2023)

[wind nimbus]

I’m a cs major who touches grass 😔

Prolly why I cant code

[rare kettle]

That's a contradiction.

[wind nimbus]

/j.

[rare kettle]

That can't be possible.

[wind nimbus]

Yo 😭

Look man

I’m him (no I’m not)

[wicked saddle]

i was considering medicine originally but realized i could be in biotech making more dough in less time

[wind nimbus]

I wanted to do med for the longest and realized I actually don’t care bout ppl that much

[rare kettle]

You're not he, you're him

[wind nimbus]

Sounds bad but like u need a lot Of dedication

[rare kettle]

💀

[wind nimbus]

Real

[wicked saddle]

really toxic culture too on the down low in med

[wind nimbus]

Ye family of doctors so like Ik all bout it

[wicked saddle]

lol

[wind nimbus]

Do not become a doc for the money

Or even to make parents proud

Only do it if u acc rly wanna

Cuz otherwise you’ll hate life

[rare kettle]

I had a conversation with some undergraduate math majors that went like this:

Me: "I want to major in math and go into academia, but I feel like life is too beautiful to sit around doing math. I want to play music and read philosophy."
Them: "Well, I like the humanities too, but I want to make money."
Me: "Aren't you trying to be a professor?"
Them: "Yeah... I really just hate reading man."

[wind nimbus]

💀

Quite the convo

[rare kettle]

Changed my perspective on everything

I do stand by that though

[pallid mica]

mood

[wicked saddle]

i love how unfiltered college students are sometimes

[rare kettle]

Life is too beautiful to do math so idk what I'm going to do in college

[pallid mica]

life is beautiful because of math

[rare kettle]

I used to think this, then I started learning how to play the piano and reading philosophers

Now I think I was really narrow-minded

Oh my gosh I don't know if you guys are keeping up with March Madness but FDU (the 16th seed) is winning in their game right now.

They might make it to the Sweet 16 👀

[pallid mica]

you just reminded me of this one time we were talking about some philosopher in english who combined math and philosophy and my teacher looked me dead in the eyes and said I should check him out because I would find it interesting

racially motivated bruh

[rare kettle]

💀 I've had the same thing

[pallid mica]

english always be doing the wackiest stuff

they the most woke so when they say something unhinged it's funny af

[rare kettle]

No I've had teachers be like "Since you like to be logical, you should read this. I don't like it, but you might." like wtf does that mean?

[pallid mica]

that's like kind of fair though

I never once expressed an interest in math though

maybe cs and technology but never math

[limpid ocean]

fr

we love corn only

(for now at least)

[rare kettle]

Oh dang

[pallid mica]

if they reject me, it'll be cornL

[limpid ocean]

man i wish cornell dyson got more essays

for ross it got 4 🥲

cornell, 1 650 worders

[thick abyss]

Tbh kinda does what it needs

[limpid ocean]

ross got like 2 - 600 worders and 2 250 worders or sth

[thick abyss]

Plus resume

🌽 defender

[limpid ocean]

fair ig

[limpid ocean]

lol

[rare kettle]

The one essay was so shitty

[limpid ocean]

still wish more essay

[rare kettle]

I had so much to say and no space to say it

[limpid ocean]

nono

we must not say if

[pallid mica]

cs/engineering was pretty good

[limpid ocean]

true true

so much fun stuff at cornell

not enough space

[pallid mica]

sorry, you're right

[buoyant kestrel]

cs is math

[limpid ocean]

we must

manifest

[tulip barn]

2,999 because I’m one of them 💖

[limpid ocean]

https://tenor.com/view/meditate-meditation-transendental-vibration-vibes-gif-10066399

[thick abyss]

2998 bc me too

[limpid ocean]

calling my ancestors up there to bless me

[tulip barn]

Amen

[naive grove]

2997

[limpid ocean]

oh no

[tulip barn]

U can say that with certainty 😔

[limpid ocean]

add me in, 2996

[pallid mica]

2995

[wicked saddle]

2994

[naive grove]

grab the spots while they're left guys

💀

[pallid mica]

they're running out quick

[limpid ocean]

fr fr

[wicked saddle]

rolling admissions be like

[naive grove]

Every uni should be forced to do rolling

Change my fucking mind

[wicked saddle]

thatd be crazy asf

at a skl like cornell with 70k applicants

[thick abyss]

I agree tbh

But not totally feasible rn

[lilac island]

mich used to do rolling 20 yrs ago

[vivid kite]

All the apps would be submitted on the day common App opens

[wicked saddle]

^

[limpid ocean]

damn

[rare kettle]

Facts

[limpid ocean]

more women got in than men 🥲

[rare kettle]

Sexist as hell bruh

[limpid ocean]

given same amount of both gender applied

[tulip barn]

i feel like they should have a deadline but they’re rolling based on last name alphabetical order

so like one day they release some letters

[limpid ocean]

we shall not diss cornell (yet)

[tulip barn]

cuz that’s also feasible for them too they only read like a portion of apps and make decisions on them idk

[naive grove]

Fucking literally

[vivid kite]

I think colleges should be required to given a reason for rejecting you

[naive grove]

But it doesnt hold a candle to MIT

[limpid ocean]

lol

too hard ngl

80k kids

[tulip barn]

but I guess it’s not fair in the context of like being compared to ur alphabetical pool vs everyone

[limpid ocean]

reject like 75k of them

[tulip barn]

i find it unfair how FERPA does that

[vivid kite]

I mean like they have all the files so why not just release them on the portal

[limpid ocean]

u cant expect them to explain to all of them that they arent good enuf for cornell

[tulip barn]

and how you can only see your file if admitted

but they still make a file for every student, I feel like it’s not fair for them not to show it idk

[limpid ocean]

ye

[limpid ocean]

fair point

[tulip barn]

they should just attach ur file to ur letter tbh

[limpid ocean]

mb in the future, they'll get that

[pallid mica]

they could have premade options to select from

[rare kettle]

Maybe it's because they know that men don't have a "College in Upstate New York" Pinterest board and therefore won't come and don't want to lower their yield rates

[vivid kite]

Ya i would assume everything is online at this point

[tulip barn]

When we all get in we should make an organization called anti ferpa and allow for people to see their admissions files from every college they got rejected from 🙏🏼

[limpid ocean]

ig so

[limpid ocean]

fr fr

[limpid ocean]

[naive grove]

LOl

the colleges dread that day

Trust me

[vivid kite]

Bruh then why not release it

If everything is already there

[naive grove]

Yes

[limpid ocean]

true true

[daring dragon]

society.

[naive grove]

I have 0 respect for the admissions practices of basically any school with a 1 digit acceptance rate

[vivid kite]

that’s so dumb

[limpid ocean]

like they cant just say, ye u got rejected cuz ur reviewer didnt like ur ap (ec)

[limpid ocean]

oof

[lilac island]

uc this yr be like: hey thats us

[rare kettle]

Yeah it's just luck at a certain point.

[tulip barn]

colleges r smart for doing decisions mostly on fridays or days where they go on spring break or winter break bc then students can’t call their offices and harass them ab their rejection

[naive grove]

MIT closing their office 15 minutes before decisions

[rare kettle]

Factual

[naive grove]

😂

[rare kettle]

The parents would be worse

[pallid mica]

even <15 is cutting it close

[naive grove]

For sure

Those too

[rare kettle]

I can imagine that's like planting a bomb and then running off

[naive grove]

1 digit acceptance seemed succinct to me so I just said it like that

[vivid kite]

But what are they going to do if they don’t have enough space and too many applications

They have no choice

[winged glacier]

usc

[deft hedge]

UF as safety??

They had a 18% acceptance rate

[wind nimbus]

no its not they was jus asking if i got in anywhere lol

its like my only reach atm

[rare kettle]

Not inflate their application rates artificially because god knows this many people don't want to go to these schools lol

[wind nimbus]

but dont think ill go over vt

[deft hedge]

Are you in state

[wind nimbus]

in state for vt yes

not uf

[deft hedge]

Oh NVM then

[wind nimbus]

if i was in state uf itd be a given lmao

[deft hedge]

Bright futures is cracked

[wind nimbus]

ye unfortunately we dont got that

[naive grove]

Im in state for the University of Oklahoma (blessed)

[wind nimbus]

UF would be 40k per year + 20k for the summer term

[deft hedge]

Not worth

[wind nimbus]

lol my in state flag ship is selective af (waitlist UVA 🤩 )

[deft hedge]

I love gators but it's only going to decline

[wind nimbus]

ye and for cs vt better

[rare kettle]

It's that bad? I'm a mediocre student and I got into UNC.

[wind nimbus]

at most comparable

[naive grove]

ur applying this year?

[wind nimbus]

i dont believe anyone on a2c who says theyre mediocre

[rare kettle]

Yup, graduating early

[wind nimbus]

but uva is a public ivy

[rare kettle]

Okay yeah that's fair, but I'm not great

[rare kettle]

So is UNC

[wind nimbus]

lemme get stats for this year

[naive grove]

idk

it is a public ivy

lol

its basically just a fact

(UNC)

[rare kettle]

4.5 GPA, 1540 SAT, but I have almost no ECs

[pallid mica]

what's the list of public ivys 🤔

[naive grove]

I have no idea

[pallid mica]

are they just hard public schools?

[naive grove]

but if it doesnt include UNC

its wrong

[wind nimbus]

this was uva this year

[rare kettle]

Think of all the schools that have their noses up their asses. There's your list.

[wind nimbus]

i was responding to them asking if uva was that hard or sumn

[thick abyss]

I’d say UNC, UVA, Michigan and UCLA, GT (maybe Berkeley)

[naive grove]

Oh

then yeah uva too

[thick abyss]

But it’s a stupid list

The name Public ivy

[wind nimbus]

i think like Cal ucla uva UF and UNC

sum shit like that

[naive grove]

LOl bro wtf berkeley is definitely a public ivy

if such a thing exists

[pallid mica]

can you add gt on there so I feel good

[wind nimbus]

unfortunately its only that great for engineering

[rare kettle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Ivy

[thick abyss]

Idk anything abt the school

But I’d agree probs

[wind nimbus]

its ranked num 1 for publics so

[pallid mica]

less go

[wind nimbus]

id say its up there

[wicked saddle]

unrelated but are you actually a junior and also are you reading crime and punishment

[limpid ocean]

not be applying to all the top 10 public school as an intl 💀

[wind nimbus]

its stupid bbut gives context

[thick abyss]

Not it being every UC

[thick abyss]

No

French boi lies

He’s secretly a cop posing as a fake junior

[wicked saddle]

oh 😭😭😭

[limpid ocean]

sus

[rare kettle]

1. I am, I'm graduating early. 2) Yes, I just started it, it's quite interesting. I'm beginning to get worried that I'm a lot more like Raskolnikov than I'd like to be.

[wind nimbus]

lmfao im 3.8 uw 3.9 w 1500 sat but like ecs r good and my hook is alright (african, lived in 4 countries and 3 states)

[rare kettle]

Woah woah secretary, you shall'nt spread falsehoods!

[naive grove]

does living in more places = hook

I lived in Malta Lmao

should make me unique in the class of basically every college that looks at me

[wind nimbus]

well there obv a lot more to my app then a couple words but thats the tldr to the tldr

[thick abyss]

My hook is working+Illinois kid if those mean anything

[wicked saddle]

zamn. also c&p LIVES in my head so no spoilers but that’s honestly (disturbingly) a universal experience

[limpid ocean]

hehe same - but im just intl and asian: mid grades + test scores for most t20

[rare kettle]

"I come from the middle of nowhere. It's kinda close to the Rust Belt. Accept me."

[limpid ocean]

very unique lol

[wind nimbus]

my weighted is only bad cuz i moved to america in jr year so

[wind nimbus]

america ghana (from here) south africa nigeria for me

[naive grove]

I think it deserves to count as some form of diversity cus culturally I am probably slightly closer to Maltese than American

[humble meteor]

UTTTTT

ut is hard asf for oos

[rare kettle]

Oh yeah I figure. He's a wretched guy, and Dostoevsky is very good at illuminating all his horrible characteristics. He's a really good philosopher and damn does he know how to argue things in a non-propositional form.

[humble meteor]

its data is just skewed by dumb texas admission laws

[wind nimbus]

the quota is insane so

[thick abyss]

Personal vendetta against it

[limpid ocean]

ig not many ppl from malta applies to unis in usa (im from vn, alot of kids apply but generally apply to community college cuz we are cheapskates)

[thick abyss]

So it doesn’t count

[wind nimbus]

same

[thick abyss]

They didn’t take my friend

So we hate them

[humble meteor]

imo i see UT with better departments than UVA

[limpid ocean]

yeye

[humble meteor]

also GT is too niche to fit in with the rest

[naive grove]

I have met only 1 other lol

though I didnt ever go to

private schools

[limpid ocean]

lol

[naive grove]

or anything like that

[limpid ocean]

damn 1/2 ppl from malta lol

[naive grove]

Im sure there are more

[wind nimbus]

i mean outside engineering i dont rly agree but ig im biased

[naive grove]

again i wasnt at the international schools and stuff

[wicked saddle]

extremely well worded! have fun with the rest of it LMAOO

[limpid ocean]

prob like 200 kids from vn or maybe 1k or even more than that apply a year

[humble meteor]

cs?

[limpid ocean]

ic ic

[naive grove]

also I go to american HS now

so maybe if I stayed there

id have met

[humble meteor]

also mccombs

[naive grove]

dunno

[wind nimbus]

yes im cs but i count cs as engineering in this case

[humble meteor]

cs, engineering, biz at least imo

mccombs is t5

[rare kettle]

I will. I paused mid-way through the Brothers Karamazov for it so I hope it's worth it.

[thick abyss]

HIS SHORT STORIES SLAP TOO

[limpid ocean]

ic ic

[wicked saddle]

recommendations 🙏

[rare kettle]

Dostoevsky > Nietzsche

[wicked saddle]

i’m reading the idiot rn it’s incredible

[naive grove]

also

[wind nimbus]

no its not?

[thick abyss]

Omg I have so many

[naive grove]

I lived in St. Kitts too

[limpid ocean]

confusion

[naive grove]

for anyone in chat who potentially knows what that place is

lol

[wicked saddle]

oh how was that? i’ve been meaning to read it

[limpid ocean]

what are yall talking abt

[thick abyss]

The Christmas tree and a wedding was my fav

[humble meteor]

oh its like 7 nwo on usnews

[limpid ocean]

ik where it is (i hope)

malta?

[wicked saddle]

adding to my list

[humble meteor]

they are around the same level ig

[naive grove]

its a country

ahahaha

[tulip barn]

Public ivy is such a dumb term

[wind nimbus]

idk if im looking at right list

[tulip barn]

Saw some girl call washu a straight up ivy

[limpid ocean]

ik ik, i rmb its in europe

like close to cyprus

somewhere in the medditaranean area

[humble meteor]

thats not undergrad

[thick abyss]

It’s rly short but still good

[limpid ocean]

no clue how to spell it

[humble meteor]

thats graduate school

[naive grove]

Oh I thought you meant st. kitts

[thick abyss]

Do you like Kafka @wicked saddle

[rare kettle]

Very good. Also scary because the pseudo-intellectual brother is a lot like me.

[wind nimbus]

well law med nursing uva is better i think

[naive grove]

but yes

[wicked saddle]

look forward to it!

[limpid ocean]

wth aint no way

[wind nimbus]

ic

[limpid ocean]

i think thats for graduate

[naive grove]

malta is in Mediterranean under Sicily

[rare kettle]

The college application process is kafkaesque

[limpid ocean]

cuz undergrad uva bus is mcintire or sth

[limpid ocean]

hehe pro geo

[humble meteor]

i mean those are all things that are hard to gauge, its like the pre-smth fields, so maybe

[wind nimbus]

ion do business so idek jus search biz school rankings

[wicked saddle]

i’ve only read metamorphosis and that was years ago 😭😭😭😭 but i really enjoyed it

[limpid ocean]

lol

ic ic

[wicked saddle]

yeah it turned me into a giant bug no lie

[limpid ocean]

wait wheres wake forest on that list? @wind nimbus

[wicked saddle]

will keep this in mind!!!

[humble meteor]

oh uva and ut are tied for nursing 😭

[wind nimbus]

ion see it

[wind nimbus]

id say there comparable then

idk uva holds a LOT more weight in state than oos

[humble meteor]

same stuff

[wicked saddle]

i used to agree with stuff like that but ever since i got into an ivy im a purist LMAO

[wind nimbus]

id say same for ut i didnt rly care but like im cs so ofc ut is a mega reach

[limpid ocean]

oof lol

thanks for searching anyways

[limpid ocean]

true true

[humble meteor]

cornell 🙏

[limpid ocean]

uva is like 66% in state

[humble meteor]

ut mandates 90% in state

its terrible

[limpid ocean]

uf is 88% (i think) 💀

[wind nimbus]

doesnt help that va kids r smart af

[rare kettle]

That’s so low wtf

[humble meteor]

75% top 6% auto admits, 90% in state

[wind nimbus]

well they get like free tuition or some shit

[limpid ocean]

thats even more crazy (but they have a special policy - if u live there or study there for 4 years of ur hs, u count as a texan)

[limpid ocean]

ye

[tulip barn]

u used to agree with what

[limpid ocean]

fr uf prob one of the best public state school

[wind nimbus]

if i was in fl id prolly go to UF

[wicked saddle]

yeah (after i get off my ivy high i prolly still will too lol)

[wind nimbus]

but not worth oos so vt>uf atm for me

[wind nimbus]

which ivy u got

[wicked saddle]

SUNY Ithaca

[wind nimbus]

w

[limpid ocean]

same

[wind nimbus]

well hopefully get in put errthing in that cornell essay

[limpid ocean]

ye

[tulip barn]

No I’m asking like what did u agree with 😭

[wind nimbus]

tbh ion kno how i got in i dead ass shotgunned UF

[wicked saddle]

oh like the idea of there being ivies outside the ivies

[wind nimbus]

Id say u gotta make a Duke an exception lmao

[wicked saddle]

now im like "ermmm akshually its the ivies and some of the sheven shishters🤓"

[humble meteor]

ivies are midddd

(except cornell take me)

[tulip barn]

LMAOO

i mean I get the term public ivy I just feel like it’s dumb

[naive grove]

even the term ivy

carries little inherent meaning

[tulip barn]

just call it a t20 or a prestigious institution it’s the same deal 💀

[sand star]

Public ivy is v v dumb ngl

[naive grove]

what actually separates ivies as a group from any other elite school

other than their sports conference

its nothing

[wicked saddle]

nah cuz once everyone hears about the word ivy league now theres

• public ivy
• little ivy
• ivys of the south

like bro 💀

[sand star]

Dafuq is little ivy

[wind nimbus]

is the problem that its called "public ivy" or the idea that there r elite universities

[wicked saddle]

LACs

[idle vigil]

hey everyone

[hollow swift]

Ivies of the south ?

[naive grove]

their name just protects them a bit, every ivy will be seen as elite for the foreseeable future just for the name

[idle vigil]

hows everyone doing

[tulip barn]

Ivies of the south LMFAOOOOO

[wind nimbus]

sure techenically its dumb af but in a broad sense most ppl understand ivy=prestigious

[thick abyss]

Fab

[wicked saddle]

literally like sometimes i just mean ultra elite schools not this specific sport group or whatever

[wind nimbus]

its pretty simple

[idle vigil]

Baylor right?

[tulip barn]

IIT is the Harvard of India let’s not lie tho

[wicked saddle]

Vanderbilt, Emory, Rice, Duke, and Tulane

[wind nimbus]

well they do mantain that status regardless ig

[naive grove]

IIT is the Stanford of the east of India

[wind nimbus]

like who in the ivy league is shit

[tulip barn]

I thought Baylor had like a 70% acceptance rate

[thick abyss]

Scrap Tulane

Ed simps

[wind nimbus]

i just dont like Dartmouth but im sure its great

[idle vigil]

yeah i was joking

lmao

[tulip barn]

Oh PLS

[humble meteor]

how tf is tulane in that pile

[idle vigil]

sneaked tulane in there

[tulip barn]

Their 9% acceptance rate wildin

[wicked saddle]

💀

[wind nimbus]

is tulane even that good 😭

[wicked saddle]

honestly yeah idk why they put em in

[humble meteor]

not rly

number one party school tho!!

[wind nimbus]

real

[idle vigil]

if they dont offer cs they arent good /s

[wind nimbus]

based

[humble meteor]

def not the same toer as vandy rice duke emory though

tier

[wicked saddle]

lit in Louisiana 🔥

[idle vigil]

where is de anza college in all of this

the real goat

bay area folks know what im talking about

[hollow swift]

What r the ivies of the west

[wicked saddle]

just california

atp

[hollow swift]

Stanford USC UCLA UCB and caltech ?

[limpid ocean]

i didnt even apply lol

[wind nimbus]

real

[hollow swift]

Real

[wind nimbus]

sounds bout right

maybe Udub

[naive grove]

Bro

[wind nimbus]

acc throw ASU in there /j

[naive grove]

the ivies are the Stanfords of the east

[rare kettle]

FDU is fumbling the bag mannnn

[wind nimbus]

real

[wind nimbus]

3 down

[hollow swift]

Ivies is a fine classification since it’s a sport league but terms like public ivies are eh imo

[rare kettle]

5 now

[hollow swift]

Like yeah I understand meant to indicate best public schools but don’t think it’s really necessary

[wind nimbus]

i mean its quite simple y tbh
ivy= prestige for the gen population

[naive grove]

The way I look at it

[rare kettle]

ah shit he made that 3

[naive grove]

ivies arent inherently different from other top schools

the term is solely used for convenience sake when referencing a group of elite schools

[rare kettle]

oh they're fumbling this shit it's over

[naive grove]

"oh you're gonna get into a bunch of ivies"

[wicked saddle]

not on a formal tour but ive been twice. i ate at Morrison dining hall which was amazing haha the food is crazy premium. walked around warren hall which houses dyson, it was pretty cool. i also went to downtown Ithaca and ate at a pretty nice Thai restaurant.

[naive grove]

is easier to say than

[rare kettle]

CALL A FUCKING TIMEOUT

[naive grove]

"oh youre going to get into stanford, duke, northwestern and JHU"

in the same vein, if the term public ivy is convenient to use it may as well exist

[wind nimbus]

tbh i hate wen i see ppl apply to EVERY SINGLE ivy thinking they genuinely wanna go to each one

[thick abyss]

Oo sick!!

[idle vigil]

duke is the forgotten ivy

[wind nimbus]

like if u jus wanna aplpy thats diff but theres no way someone who is in love with Brown wants Colombia just as much

[thick abyss]

Down by 7 now

[hollow swift]

“Oh you’re gonna get into a bunch of top 10 schools “

[idle vigil]

D>D ivy

[thick abyss]

Ugh I wanted FDU to win

[idle vigil]

Duke>Darthmouth

FIGHT ME

[wind nimbus]

i agree

[hollow swift]

Fact

[sand star]

Facts

[idle vigil]

or darkmouth however u say it

[naive grove]

its still more convenient to say ivies

[wind nimbus]

[idle vigil]

wait not darkmouth

dartmout

mouth

[rare kettle]

Well do you want to get mugged in Durham or attacked by wildlife? 😆

[hollow swift]

Understandable I don’t disagree

[naive grove]

thats why the term sees common use

[hollow swift]

ESP for general population you’re def right

[idle vigil]

i love squishy dogs

so wildlife

if dogs count as wild life

[naive grove]

so I think public ivy is fine for same reason

easier to say u applied to most of the public ivies

[wind nimbus]

i aint even do HYP cuz i dead ass found no real reason to (not like i would get in just saying chasing prestige can land u in a bad situation)

[naive grove]

than individually list half the UCs + UMich and UVA for example

[rare kettle]

Ivy is synonymous with prestigious, top-tier school, whether or not that's technically correct.

[idle vigil]

yeah

[wind nimbus]

^^^

[hollow swift]

Which are the public ivies

[wicked saddle]

prolly should’ve taken some more pics but o well 😭

[idle vigil]

i love prestige

[hollow swift]

UCB UCLA Michigan UVA?

[idle vigil]

i live off of prestige

[naive grove]

depends who you ask

[idle vigil]

my motivation

[naive grove]

you can probably add some of the other UCs

[wind nimbus]

i mean yes we're on a2c ofc we hv done an exhorbant amount of research but like most ppl hvnt

[naive grove]

UNC

Maybe even UF

[wind nimbus]

maybe UF as well

[hollow swift]

Yes absolutely

[thick abyss]

STOP ITS STUNNING

giving old rich vibe

[wind nimbus]

thats knda what it is

[naive grove]

UC Berkeley students when you call it UCB

[rare kettle]

DAMNIT FDU YOU'RE GONNA LOSE

(ignore me)

[hollow swift]

Yes

[wind nimbus]

FDUBELIEVE IT

[idle vigil]

I love private

[thick abyss]

9 points in 30 seconds

Easy

[hollow swift]

Too much letters in Berkeley

[idle vigil]

schools

[thick abyss]

They can pull it off

[wind nimbus]

eh i think Cal is easier

[idle vigil]

UCB is so damn crowded

i went there

cause i used to live near there

[rare kettle]

no they can't

[idle vigil]

kind of

[fierce rivet]

Yeah I'd agree to that!! Only thing diff is it is not that hard to get into.

[wind nimbus]

whats yall worst case scenario atm (like assuming u take every single L going forward)

[rare kettle]

oh shit 6 points

it's still unlikly

[wind nimbus]

Most of the grads go into normal MBA programs and go into like CMO or COO positions

But some do like hotels, restaurants, real estate or corporate law

Nah ur good it’s such a bad misnomer

[wind nimbus]

lool

[naive grove]

meanwhile

im in american school

but I have 1 hour of school a day average

so im out

[amber lantern]

yeah they do

its the average usc party dude

[amber lantern]

W schoool

[wind nimbus]

damn how many courses u take lol

[naive grove]

6

[wind nimbus]

same

u do like one a day 💀

[naive grove]

yeah

uh

my school aint normal

for a variety of reasons

idek how this shit is legal ngl arent u supposed to have more than 1 hr of school a day

LMAO

???

[wind nimbus]

well a lot more than 1 ye 😭

i got 4 periods a day

but 1st is 45 mins and u hv it every day

the rest r hour and a half

so on even days i leave after 3rd and odd is full cuz we take 7 courses max

tbh maybe shldve done one more ap but i cba

[naive grove]

the only AP I didnt take

at my school

is gov

and I cba to take it

[wind nimbus]

gov is a required course at mine

so might as well take ap ig

lower gov is all memorization which is worse imo

but my school has quite a few aps and i only been here 2 years so ending with 7 :I

[naive grove]

7 is more than my school offers

💀

[wind nimbus]

💀

well tbf my school in fresh and soph had 0

cuz intl

actually not sure how many we have

[placid ember]

my school says they offer 27 and they do NOT

they literally lie

[wind nimbus]

maybe close to 15

[deft hedge]

ap gov is the AP that my school shoves everyone into because they want to raise the % of people who have ever taken an AP

[wind nimbus]

y would they do that

[wind nimbus]

i mean i think its required by va law or some shit so most end up taking it just cuz

[placid ember]

to look better ig, they normally offer like 17 a year at most

idk why they lie

[wind nimbus]

well most ppl dont rly get to 17 anyways ig

[deft hedge]

ap gov is required or just any gov class?

[thick abyss]

Apes can die

My teacher is crazy

[placid ember]

fr

[wind nimbus]

gov is required not ap gov

[placid ember]

im ending w 6

[wind nimbus]

theres c level and honors as well

[wind nimbus]

thats a good number

[deft hedge]

i think thats a thing in nearly every state

gov course requirment

[wind nimbus]

tbh if i was in america from freshman year id be close to like 10-12

wouldve done physics chem and psych

[placid ember]

YAY

[wind nimbus]

not rly familiar with other states but like id imagine so jus sayin thats y most ppl jus end up takin ap gov

[placid ember]

my school restricts us w the AP amount we can take: u cant take any freshman year, 1 max sophomore yr, 2 max junior yr, and 6 max senior yr

[wind nimbus]

so max 9

[placid ember]

mhm

[wind nimbus]

well for my school they dont care how many u take but u hv to do pre req

just that my old curriculum was slightly faster than the american one so i wouldve been in trig from freshman year for example

[placid ember]

oooo

[wind nimbus]

so id hv reqs to do slightly more aps than normal

which is whats happening to my younger brother atm

[spare obsidian]

i go to a (jewish) private school, it offers 24 ap but you can take only take max 13ish
i only took 6 taking a lot isnt the most important thing

[daring dragon]

is it in ny?

[spare obsidian]

yeah

[daring dragon]

mind dming me the school?

I’m rly curious about which one

i used to go to one and know many ppl that do

[spare obsidian]

i dmed you

[tulip barn]

The best game fr

[oblique haven]

so real!! I searched up what they say they “offer” there’s a good 3 APs that just don’t exist at our school

[tulip barn]

My school offers 20 I think

[oblique haven]

my school definitely offers like 8/9

we’re a dual enrollment school tho

[amber lantern]

hello

[amber lantern]

honestl

i’m back guys

how is the cornell thread doing

[tough pebble]

i’m so ready for decisions 😭

[amber lantern]

i’m so not ready

[marsh musk]

I’m ready af

but they needa respond to my email about fa s

[daring dragon]

i just wanna know what my options are man

[marsh musk]

Swear

Or if I even have any

[amber lantern]

bro is getting aired by cornell 💀

[marsh musk]

Ong it’s only fair though they emailed me that I had shit missing 3 times

[meager kayak]

Who got deferred cs

Coe

[deft hedge]

cornell emailed me about FA documents and i sent an email back and they never responded bruh

[marsh musk]

as did I

I think they’re busy asf

If they don’t respond in like the next 2 days I’ll call

Called Dartmouth today since I got an email about FA docs too

Just two simple docs I sent right away

[deft hedge]

by the time i get my FA shit resolved the decision will have come out lmao

my issue has to do with my US citizenship Social Secruity/Passport

[marsh musk]

Exactly which is why I’m tryna get it sorted asap

Want that FA package if I get in

[deft hedge]

i can't make the post office deliver my passport any faster

[marsh musk]

Lmfao

I’m hand crafted in the US of A

Didn’t have to worry about that

[deft hedge]

would be funny if they consider me international

[naive grove]

i think you would actually find that rather unfunny

💀

wtf exactly is going on?

why do u have to send passport

[deft hedge]

when i first entered this country 14 years ago, the Social Security admin must have given me a temp number or some shit. Because colleges use SSN as a form of verification, mine actually doesnt verify me as a US citizen because of the way i entered.

Anyway i never knew this would be an issue until cornell emailed me about it. Apparently its a super easy fix, just go to your local SSA office and show them your passport since only US citizens have passports obviously.

The problem arises when my passport expired this month and I had it renewed about 1 week and half ago. So now i need to wait approximately 5 weeks for it to come... you see the problem? 💀

[naive grove]

???

the stars lined up to fuck bro over here

[marsh musk]

ur old passport doesn’t verify anything ?

[deft hedge]

and of course the post office takes your old passport when you go to renew it

[marsh musk]

Oh

[naive grove]

💀

[marsh musk]

gf

U got a pic of it or anything

[naive grove]

it seems logical to me that cornell would consider u as domestic

[deft hedge]

no copies allowed

[naive grove]

and then just rescind u or something

if u couldnt prove it

but idk

[deft hedge]

it only seems to be a problem on the FA side of things which is fine

[naive grove]

and u got more time for finaid

[marsh musk]

tbf u might be able to get your passport faster if u ask for like

a faster service it might cost more tho

idk how those work

[deft hedge]

also in the original email i think Cornell wanted me to go to Ithaca cus they said i need to show passport in person to cornell fin aid office lmao , so i was just planning on fixing it from the social security side

[marsh musk]

That’s gotta be a good sign right

[round venture]

that's what I did for ED

[marsh musk]

They wouldn’t ask u to come all the way to Ithaca for some bullshit

[round venture]

but i got deferred

[deft hedge]

ok but i live in south florida

[naive grove]

u got deferred from cornell ED?

or another school

[round venture]

yup

[naive grove]

likely...?

after getting deferred?

[round venture]

yup

[naive grove]

bruh

tf

LMAO

[marsh musk]

They prolly just didn’t have enough time to get through all the applications

Don’t schools do thst

[deft hedge]

the funniest thing is the Financial Aid office asking a student with a EFC of 0 to go from Florida to New york to resolve an issue

[marsh musk]

aye

yea*

[round venture]

you should call them

[marsh musk]

Genius Cornell

Agreed

Call them and talk to them ab it

Not much u can do otherwise

[deft hedge]

i sent an email already last week, in the future ill call cus damn they take a long time lol

[round venture]

Ask them if you are actually accepted, if so, then doing the passport thing isn't sus

financial office can tell if whether you are accepted or not

[deft hedge]

i doubt they would answer lmao

[round venture]

well, if you were accepted what's wrong with telling you like few days earlier? It also helps you with whether you should come to Ithaca to just go to Financial aid office

[naive grove]

I kind of suspect that it wont work but he can try I suppose

[round venture]

yeah

but just coming to Ithaca to give passport is sus

I got deferred ED after doing that

[deft hedge]

isn't there accepted student events

if i get accepted i think that would be a good opportunity lol

[round venture]

True

I'm going to call their financial aid office to see my grants

I'm in-state with cals

I know i'm already accepted so they can't be sus

[marsh musk]

Ye I’d suggest calling and telling them your situation at least

telling them it’s very tough for you to afford the travel and what not as well

[deft hedge]

also gonna be hilarious when im rejected

[marsh musk]

Especially if you don’t even know ur decision yet

[deft hedge]

and they expected me to do all this shit

[round venture]

can't you fax them the passport?

[deft hedge]

no copies

[round venture]

gg

[deft hedge]

in person only

[marsh musk]

the issue is

[round venture]

well look

[marsh musk]

He doesn’t have the passport either

[round venture]

I did in-person

now I have early acceptance

maybe you should do it?

[deft hedge]

guys i showed demonstrated interest!!!

[round venture]

They probably already finished their application

[deft hedge]

ill call tomorrow and explain my situation

[marsh musk]

ye I would fs

They may make an exception and tell u if ur in or not like Lin said since u the travel is very unaffordable

[deft hedge]

💀

[round venture]

DAMN

[marsh musk]

ye expensive asf

[round venture]

700 round trip

Hotel

And living expenses

[deft hedge]

if im accepeted they should just buy my plane ticket lmao

[round venture]

I'm sure you won't come here by yourself

[marsh musk]

exactly which is why they may tell u if ur accepted or not

[rare kettle]

That's expensive? Most flights are at least that much.

[marsh musk]

But idk

[rare kettle]

I didn't know they had an airport.

[marsh musk]

it’s not like super expensife for a flight but considering like he can’t rly afford it plus a hotel is kinda crazy

[deft hedge]

apparently international too

[marsh musk]

and 400 dollars just to show someone a passport is nuts

[rare kettle]

the hell? 😆

[rare kettle]

oh I didn't see the context that's ridiculous

you can't scan it?

[naive grove]

he doesnt have

[round venture]

800 at least (one person)

Double that if you are going with a parent

[marsh musk]

He doesn’t have the passport rn cause he just renewed it

and they said he can’t send copies right ?

[round venture]

You can use the old passport, just ask them tomorrow

[naive grove]

they took it

the old passport

no?

when he renewed

[round venture]

Oh yea

right

[marsh musk]

yea

[deft hedge]

also its funny cus only cornell has brought it up... tho it should be an issue FOR EVERY FIN AID OFFICE

[naive grove]

💀

[round venture]

True

[marsh musk]

u might be able to ask the post office if they still have it idk

[round venture]

Cornell is the only one who asked for me

[marsh musk]

they prolly won’t give it back to you though

[thick abyss]

Cornell is just better

OP 🤯

[deft hedge]

brah they even took my passport card lol

the ops were plotting against me

[marsh musk]

swear

bro got scammed

literally no way to even show that he is a us citizen 💯💯

[deft hedge]

tbh i don't even need to see the fin aid package to know im going if im accepeted lol

[marsh musk]

fair enough

Ur package should be good since ur efc is 0

[deft hedge]

yeah

[marsh musk]

it’s just getting the package

[deft hedge]

ill instantly book that flight lol

[thick abyss]

If I got into cornell, I’d drop 1,000 easily to visit

Vibes

[marsh musk]

lmfao

hell naw

Don’t ivys pay for students to come visit on admitted students day if they can’t afford it

Or something

[thick abyss]

I mean I didn’t apply for financial aid lmao

[marsh musk]

oh

[thick abyss]

So not for me ig

[marsh musk]

baller

I’m hoping that they’ll meet my need pretty well

[slate spruce]

Anyone get interview here

[wicked saddle]

bros money is up

on that note though do they do paid flyins for persons to come on campus who apply for aid (not for admitted student days but like to actually attend school)

[deft hedge]

cornell interview is non-evaluative

i got one it was nice

[slate spruce]

So interview doesnt matter?

[wicked saddle]

only if ur in arch

[slate spruce]

Whats arch

[deft hedge]

yes

[wicked saddle]

architecture

[slate spruce]

Oh

Ok

[deft hedge]

i think interview only matters if you are IN architecture

[thick abyss]

Yeah

Was very chill not a big deal

[wicked saddle]

i dont believe so

at least not at cornell

[marsh musk]

hmm

I thought I heard that somehwrre but I may be mistaken

[wicked saddle]

they told us in a ED meeting like two weeks ago they weren't gonna be flying anyone in

[marsh musk]

bro what should my senior quote be it’s due tonight

[wicked saddle]

damn we did ours ages ago 😦

[marsh musk]

ik they extended the due date

cause nobody turned it in

[deft hedge]

my school banned senior qoutes because last year's class had some really deep racist jokes

[open glen]

[deft hedge]

its whatever, they are all cringy inspirational qoutes, bad jokes, or current memes that will look bad the next year, like i know someone who did an among us/sus joke last year

[open glen]

Mine is just cringe

☠️

[soft bronze]

for the memories i guess 😐

[marsh musk]
