Cornell (SUNY Ithaca) (2022-2023)

[wicked saddle]

How bad r we talking

[pine granite]

i think we're the same person

[marsh musk]

What were the grades

[lofty meadow]

~3.9, ~3.6-3.7 (sophomore year), ~3.8, ~3.85

freshman to senior year

[wicked saddle]

what were the B's in/how many

[pine granite]

mine was 3.6 -> 3.0 -> 3.7 -> 3.8

[round venture]

Just got accepted UW madison

Xd

[thick abyss]

@wicked saddle you better be manifesting for me too bro

[marsh musk]

We talking like total uncumulative or per year

[thick abyss]

Mine went from 3.86 to 3.91 to 3.98 to 3.96 uw

[pine granite]

per year

[thick abyss]

Hoping my grades mean smth bc no test scores

[pine granite]

my only B was an 88 in physics c this year

[plain coral]

My school doesnt report our gpa

[pine granite]

so we'll see

[plain coral]

But i have like 3.75 uw

Found by online calculators

[lofty meadow]

spanish, chemistry, and english. i applied to cas as a history major. to prove i have recovered since then, i excelled in physics; i have continued to take spanish iv (and this third trimester i am one of 4 people left taking the class) and was nominated for national spanish exam; and i regularly get good grades in english (i have a 4.0 in that class this year) and am now a writing center tutor

[wicked saddle]

seems fine to me

idek

[plain coral]

Covid year

[lofty meadow]

damn i replied to the long message

see above @wicked saddle

[plain coral]

Me hoping the opposite

[pine granite]

me when no covid inflation because private school

[feral wren]

Just got this and Cal left, on a rejection streak

[static tangle]

hoping anything means something 3 rejections in a row

[calm wyvern]

same lol

[static tangle]

😇

[pine granite]

i think i have like 15ish rejections

[wicked saddle]

you only had three career B's?

[calm wyvern]

my spread sheet of acceptances/rejections is horrific lol

[plain coral]

Ive gotten a B+ every year

Its my pattern

💀

[marsh musk]

I had 1 B+

Freshman English

😢

[wicked saddle]

we dont even do + grades in my county

[thick abyss]

Same here

[naive grove]

ayo

[thick abyss]

I wish

[naive grove]

intl to ivy league

[thick abyss]

We also don’t have rank

[naive grove]

🐐

[thick abyss]

COUNTY

[naive grove]

oh

[marsh musk]

county

[naive grove]

LMAO

[thick abyss]

not country lmfao

[wicked saddle]

LOL

[naive grove]

mb

[wicked saddle]

No worries bro

[thick abyss]

Danny would have gotten in as an intl anyways

The man is insane

[lofty meadow]

i honestly can't recall atm but i've done pretty well. i think like last year, i got like a b in some stupid math class i was taking but that was averaged out by A+s in other classes

[naive grove]

Colleges recalc

if u cant say for sure u have more than 3 B's

ur gpa is probably quite good

[pine granite]

ur good 09

[calm wyvern]

if ive taken college classes and they arent in my hs transcript are those recalced in?

[pine granite]

and bc is a really amazing school

[naive grove]

idk about that

[pine granite]

i dont think so

[calm wyvern]

i sent transcript over but idk

[calm wyvern]

cause ive taken 3 so it would be a waste if they arent lol

[lofty meadow]

i go to one of the most competitive catholic high schools in the country

[plain coral]

this i smy schools history with cornell coe

[lofty meadow]

so let's just hope this happens

[plain coral]

im a 4.2M so 🙏

[wicked saddle]

im sure they'll consider your college rigor

[marsh musk]

How ab for Dyson

[plain coral]

is that business

or

😭

[marsh musk]

Yes

[plain coral]

HELP

BYE

gt = acceptance tho

so

[naive grove]

Bro

I wish I had ANY data from my school

[wicked saddle]

what what the hell is this

bro

[lofty meadow]

i got a 1530, im a bum

[plain coral]

we historically send a decent percentage of our class to cornell so im hoping that they still like my highschool

[lofty meadow]

i honestly should have retaken it, i feel like i got unlucky with the reading passages

[wicked saddle]

i see. well honestly i dont have much to say. every single person in this chat rn has a gpa that is probably calculated differently. as for me i've only had two career B's physics, and AP lang but in the context of my major and just overall how many Ap's and DE i took, i dont think it was serious at all.

[plain coral]

i took 7 of the 13 aps my school offers

i hope that boosts me

or smth

[marsh musk]

LOL

[plain coral]

💀

[marsh musk]

dyson only accepts like

300 students or some shit

so its understandalbe

[plain coral]

💀

this better help my chances

nepotism baby 😇

[naive grove]

yo wtf?

ur the kid of faculty?

[plain coral]

at the med school

[naive grove]

ur prob in bruh as long as your stats are good

I feel like

[plain coral]

assistant professor

[naive grove]

Like that has to be a very strong hook

[plain coral]

i hope so 🙏

[wicked saddle]

wow this is so useful

[plain coral]

for my dads contact info i inputted his work email LMFAO

@med.cornell.edu moment

[naive grove]

💀

I think ur in

[plain coral]

pls

[naive grove]

as long as u dont have like bad stats

or 0 ecs

[lofty meadow]

my school doesn't offer aps. i did the best i could. i tried to give context as to why my sophomore year grades were bad in that covid section of the app, we'll hope they take my explanation into account. cornell was pretty awesome, i sent an update to the app portal after my visit. just send me your energy, cornell would be absolutely incredible, loved it when i visited

[thick abyss]

@plain coral is it free for you?

[plain coral]

cornell only pays 12k per year

but they do it to any university

that i attend

columbia is the one that pays full if ur kid attends

[pine granite]

no way ur not getting in jaelyn

[thick abyss]

WOAHH

[plain coral]

ikr its kinda hot

[thick abyss]

Another reason that Cornell is too

Top

[plain coral]

fr

[marsh musk]

im so broke that itll be cheaper than 12k with no parent faculty

[wicked saddle]

Np bro, just 6 days

[plain coral]

they love nepotism but dont make their children aid exclusive to cornell

very valid

[round venture]

Most of the people who got into cornell is test optional

[thick abyss]

True bc business

[naive grove]

is this true?

wtf

[round venture]

Yup

[static tangle]

lol the hell

[naive grove]

source?

[marsh musk]

Dyson is literally

test-blind

[thick abyss]

I wonder if they care abt outside lors

[marsh musk]

so its understandable

[round venture]

Cals is test-blind

[wicked saddle]

we dont make up for a significant portion of admits tho

[static tangle]

CAS considers test scores right

[round venture]

yup

[wicked saddle]

id be curious to see how many ppl in COE were test optional

[round venture]

but some of my friend got into cas without test

its all essay

[thick abyss]

Agreed

[static tangle]

its essay..?

[thick abyss]

Praying for this

[static tangle]

great my cornell essay was my best one

im finding u if i dont get in

[candid abyss]

Me fr

[plain coral]

they better read my essays in a linear format

cuz my why cornell was a metaphor of cornell as a synchronized swimming team

[static tangle]

CAS essay was fun

[plain coral]

and i put these as my words

[static tangle]

it was only 1

[plain coral]

so

they better understand

💀

[thick abyss]

The swim requirement 😭

[marsh musk]

me too

cause of @wicked saddle

[plain coral]

LMFAO I MENTIONED IT

[round venture]

Idk what i did for mine

[thick abyss]

They’re gonna take you just for that

[round venture]

let me check

[plain coral]

Whether earning the synchro PE credit or contributing to the synchro-esque environment, I would
feel at home at the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering.

💀

[candid abyss]

My sister is also in uni, so it's reduced further too

[wicked saddle]

<33

[plain coral]

oh shit

they acutally like

list it

💀

nepotism ! 🙏

[marsh musk]

nice

[lofty meadow]

my mom works at weill cornell as a nurse, they're actually going to help me out with a bunch of money no matter where i go

[marsh musk]

❤️

[plain coral]

my plan if i get into cornell is to immediately transfer from coe to cas

but

ill love it either way

😭

[lofty meadow]

maybe that will help my admission chances too

[plain coral]

yep the like 12k thing

[lofty meadow]

yeah that

[oblique haven]

@round venture how’s the ILR building?

[round venture]

I’m home now

It looks pretty fine though

[thick abyss]

@round venture what’s life in ithaca like

Besides the college

[oblique haven]

hmm okay

[plain coral]

ayo

https://hr.cornell.edu/understand-your-benefits/finances/financial-assistance/cornell-childrens-tuition-scholarship-ccts

this table is honestly the ugliest shit

i cant read it

💀

[round venture]

Well

Basically

All you can do

is

[plain coral]

50% at cornell

i think

[round venture]

95%*

cough cough*

Oh i'm saying

95% of the time

[plain coral]

oh

[round venture]

you probably would spend your time at cornell

[plain coral]

10 semesters is 5 years

solid tbh

[wicked saddle]

is it out or is the person in #🚀-general-chat capping

[candid abyss]

@round venture I'm just curious because I want to go into CALS for biology as well, but what did you do for the optional essay, you don't have to say anything if you don't want to, I just don't know how vague they're meaning with a career in agriculture

[plain coral]

wtf why would it be out a week early

ill check

i doubt it tho

[round venture]

IS there two optional essay?

Because I did three essays

[plain coral]

not out yet

😭

rynox mf

[naive grove]

ITs gigacap

[thick abyss]

Can we report him

[plain coral]

i timed him out

for a bit

[wicked saddle]

wat hapen

[hallow sierra]

cornell ily please let me in

[thick abyss]

U da best

[plain coral]

someone was lying in #🚀-general-chat saying cornell released

😭

[hallow sierra]

😒 😭

scared me fr

[candid abyss]

Oh sorry, I don't know why I assumed the first optional one was required, I'm talking about the second one that goes "...interested in pursuing a career in agriculture, regardless of your intended major"

[round venture]

Yup

I wrote about my experiences in a farm with my grandpa back in China

[candid abyss]

🥲 Thank you for telling me, I guess my quest to figure out what Cornell means exactly by career in agriculture continues

[plain coral]

that is why i did not apply to cals and chose to risk coe

[pine granite]

cas >> coe

[candid abyss]

I want to apply at CALS because I do FFA and I like the context of an agricultural school plus if I don't feel like my major is specific enough I can always switch to any of the other majors at CALS (I also don't have to worry as much about the competition at CAS too)

But I don't have a farming background, and my career goals would be on the very very fringe of what's considered "agriculture" which would be sustainability & conservation so I don't know if I can write the second optional essay 😭

[cedar crescent]

I'm just wondering, if Cornell sent me an email asking for extra documents for fin aid this close to the decision date does it possibly mean anything?

[pine granite]

no

it means you havent done your fin aid

[wicked saddle]

no.

[cedar crescent]

Thank you for the reality check 💓

[pine granite]

only 6 more days

[cedar crescent]

Yeah

[deft hedge]

it means you are missing the extra documents lol

[wicked saddle]

i didnt get my aid for a whole two months after i got in. so im sure as hell theres no valid portal astrology

[cedar crescent]

Lol

[dreamy ridge]

one of my friends had this for ED and got in

[wicked saddle]

i did too

means nothing tho

[cedar crescent]

Yeah, my mom has a business that she runs on her own and it says I didn't submit the tax forms for that

So I gotta get those from her lol

[wicked saddle]

same happen to me

[plain coral]

i need to switch into cas asap if i get in

[dreamy ridge]

bruh i didnt aply for fin aid

[plain coral]

psych > bme

[cedar crescent]

🧐🤔

[dreamy ridge]

so i have no indications at all

[cedar crescent]

So it is possible

[wicked saddle]

no

no

no

[dreamy ridge]

yes

anything is possible

[wicked saddle]

yes that

but

[cedar crescent]

Well it's possible that I get in is what I'm saying

[wicked saddle]

the portal astrology

[cedar crescent]

Not that it's def a get in

[wicked saddle]

Yeee

[marsh musk]

ye

its portal strology

no guarantees w it

so i wouldnt place bets on it

i got the emails too but I was literally missing docs so its safe to assume they just sent it to everyone who was missing docs

..

[cedar crescent]

Probably yeah

Still praying

[marsh musk]

fair enough

[wicked saddle]

Good luck my boaaa

what major

[cedar crescent]

Math 💀

[tawny prism]

oh i forgot i haven’t gotten any finaid requests from cornell

damn.

[wicked saddle]

O shiii u a demon u got it

[open glen]

Meth

[cedar crescent]

The CAS acceptance rate scaring me

[marsh musk]

did you have shit missin tho

[tawny prism]

idk

[cedar crescent]

Thanks bro

[tawny prism]

my dads tax return isn’t signed

and i heard they care about it being signed

[marsh musk]

check the checklist

[tawny prism]

no other colleges have but

[cedar crescent]

Dyson is crazy bro congrats

[wicked saddle]

youll get emailed eventually

[tawny prism]

it says no info or whatever

[wicked saddle]

why didnt u apply cas

[wicked saddle]

in the case that uget in u prob wont have aid ready yet

[plain coral]

i wasnt quite thinking straight + my profile is more aligned for bme

[wicked saddle]

ic

[plain coral]

i would have no idea where to begin since psych is a passion

rather than smth previously explored

[wicked saddle]

lol we're the reverse i want to do BME but my profile aligns with bio + enviro sci

[cedar crescent]

Wouldn't psych be more like human ecology?

[plain coral]

we can swap colleges

we can take each others places

[tawny prism]

or perhaps… i just haven’t been accepted!

[wicked saddle]

🤞

sounds like a plan

[tawny prism]

there’s psych in cas and human development in humec

[wicked saddle]

Good vibes only

[tawny prism]

human development is the psych sister major

[wicked saddle]

<33

[plain coral]

ong tho if we both get in, we head to the advisors office together and r like direct transfer right here

[cedar crescent]

Interesting

[plain coral]

😭

easiest method

[wicked saddle]

lmaoo frl literally a direct 1 to 1 swap

[marsh musk]

the to do list?

says theres nothin to do?"

then theres nothing missing u should be chillin

[plain coral]

honestly i think itd have been harder for me to get into humec than coe

💀

i dont have a special hook

[tawny prism]

yeah

[marsh musk]

you should be good

my parents tax reutnr wasnt signed and htey made me sign it

u prolly just got lucky ig

[plain coral]

its been so long that ive almost forgotten how MAD i was at cornell

for extending the deadline a month and a half

.

i submitted 24 h before the actual deadline

then they extended it

[round venture]

@plain coralyou got guaranteed Transfer?

my friend did as well

[plain coral]

no

id take it hto

if given

but coe doesnt offer it

[round venture]

ah

[thick abyss]

How does to work

[round venture]

i know cals offers a lot of guarantee transfer

[thick abyss]

Do you get to pick the school?

[round venture]

Yeah

Well no

Whatever school offered you the guarantee admission

IN cornell, eveyr college have its own admission team

[plain coral]

you ened to attend a school that offers all the prereqs for firstyears of ur major/college

umass amherst is a popular option

[round venture]

My friend went to Ithaca College

[thick abyss]

Do you know the others by chance?

I don’t want to be in boston

[wicked saddle]

lets see CAS

[wicked saddle]

prob can work with a cornell advisor to figure that out

very interesting

[plain coral]

^^

yall i will 100% give u my interviewers contact info

she has such experience

and knowledge

her daughter was at umass amherst tryna decide if shes accepting the transfer option

i think u get another year to decide to commit

like u dont commit off the bat

she applied to something in humec

for premed

[thick abyss]

Thx queen!

Hoping I don’t need to tho lmao

[cedar crescent]

Where is this data from? Is this from like your school or something?

[plain coral]

yeah

[plain coral]

its our version of naviance kinda

[cedar crescent]

Interesting

[sick dove]

Anyone else deferred dyson still waiting

[plain coral]

wait yeah maybe id transfer from coe to humec

humec is sexy for premed

i should stop planning 💀 ill be so depressed when rejected

[round venture]

is there one for cals!

[marsh musk]

not deferred

just RD

[plain coral]

yea 1 sec

[marsh musk]

but ye

[plain coral]

oh btw admissions index is like

weighted gpa but ignore freshman year

and some other quirks

but that

[round venture]

sheesh

[plain coral]

oh this is another reason i avoided cals

i could never exist testblind

[round venture]

My weighted gpa is 4.52

[plain coral]

😭

[round venture]

First gen low income

[plain coral]

yeah im 4.2-4.3 with 35act

[round venture]

SAT low key doesn’t help you at all in cornell or in any ivy league

[plain coral]

we dont offer many aps

[round venture]

My friend is 36 act got deferred

Arts and science

[plain coral]

the way i saw this yt vid explain college admissions

is that its a series of points and plus or minuses

or they rate a part of ur application outta 5

and add it all up at the end

so my take is test scores are a possible plus/minus

but no guarantee

[round venture]

Ivy league rejects too much perfect test scores. Essay truly helps you stand out

[plain coral]

yep

hopefully thye liked my essays

[marsh musk]

ye essays are the most impactful ngl

if your grades and test scores are like

good then i dont think it matters too much

[plain coral]

yeah i feel like stats r a lot of "it couldnt hurt to do well"

could hurt to do ass

[thick abyss]

How do I tell if I stood out Lmao

[fierce rivet]

Well I do not regret spending hours refining those essays 😌

[round venture]

No one.knows

[thick abyss]

Was a rhetorical question

[plain coral]

i mean uchicago liked me maybe that means i stand out

(waitlist)

[fierce rivet]

Ask the AOs maybe!!?

[marsh musk]

uchicago also liked me maybe ill stand out too

(also waitlist)

[fierce rivet]

I did not apply to UChicago

💀

[plain coral]

or maybe my dad working at cornell will hurt my app cuz if i get in they have to pay 41.5k

of my tuition

per year

ayo wait

😭

nono

[fierce rivet]

[round venture]

Cornell is need blind

all ivy league is

They don’t care how much a student can pay

[plain coral]

but theyd know theyre paying if hes facultyr

oh well ig the admissions office wouldnt give a fuck

[round venture]

That’s for the financial aid office

it’s not related

[fierce rivet]

Well not for intl

💀

[naive grove]

💀

[winged glacier]

Guys did anyone else get this?

[thick abyss]

This is unique to smth y’all need to send

[winged glacier]

Yeah but they never asked me for this until just now

I’m curious why

[lost harness]

kinda has to be a good sign

[thick abyss]

Also this is dated as February 15th?

Isn’t it too late now

[winged glacier]

The deadline is, but they sent it today

[thick abyss]

LMAO

Silly cornell

[winged glacier]

Of course financial aid and admissions are separate, but could this be a good sign?

[lost harness]

censor the id btw

[winged glacier]

Oh my fault

[thick abyss]

I wouldn’t get your hopes up bc of that; they stipulated should you be admitted

[hot bone]

When is Ivy day

[thick abyss]

But weird that it’s being sent now

Next Thursday

[hot bone]

Is it 30th or 31st

[plain coral]

no

neither good nor bad

[plain coral]

30

7pm est

!ivydday

oh

[winged glacier]

hmm

[hot bone]

Ok thanks

[winged glacier]

Yeah it’s weird cause they didn’t care about this and didn’t send it until literally 5 days before decisions

[lofty meadow]

Can you send the email again after you censor your credentials

[thick abyss]

Double check spam to see if it’s a resent thing

But either way not the best bc

[winged glacier]

I check my spam every day

[thick abyss]

Delayed financial aid package ☠️

They can’t delay it by too much tho

[winged glacier]

Bruh true, but it would be weird for them to waste time personally requesting additional docs

For someone who’s just gonna be denied

[lofty meadow]

Ngl, this looks like an automated email that would be sent to everyone that doesn’t have their financial aid completed. This is likely being sent because they’re probably shutting down their portals like other ivies

[thick abyss]

It’s very cut and paste

[vivid kite]

Can you explain what this means

[marsh musk]

they never shut down the fin aid portals

none of the ivys do

[lofty meadow]

Hey, I wish you the best of luck, hopefully it’s a good sign. But this seems automated, as if they could send out a mass email like this after 30 sec. of effort

[marsh musk]

yeah

i would agree that its automatd

it looks that way

i got it

3 times

so

[lofty meadow]

You’d know better than me lol

[winged glacier]

Yeah definitely automated

But this is the first time I’m getting this

Last time they sent this message was for FAFSA on January 9th

[plain coral]

its just who from my hs got accepted/waitlisted/rejected to cas

cornell

[winged glacier]

Not this doc

[pine granite]

its not a sign of anything besides the fact that you're behind on finaid docs

[hot bone]

I got the same thing bruh

It’s just bc i didn’t turn in something

[plain coral]

why is smith college #21 in engineering on usnews if they have a singular engineering major and are an LAC

[vivid kite]

what’s the admission index

Also how are there so many 💀

[plain coral]

wrong chanel

but whatever

[plain coral]

its like weightedd gpa but ignore english classes and freshman year

[winged glacier]

Today?

[hot bone]

Like few days ago

[plain coral]

and its recordsfrom the past like

6 years

[winged glacier]

Hmm

[vivid kite]

It’s purely academic?

[plain coral]

yeah

my school calculates it by like

[winged glacier]

I wasn’t ever asked to turn in this form till today

Interesting

[plain coral]

0.25*sophomore year gpa
0.5*junior year gpa
0.25*midyear report gpa

but we dont offer honors

[hot bone]

Prob bc they’re going through financial aid stuff rn

[winged glacier]

Never know what’s happening in the minds of colleges

[plain coral]

or lots of aps

so thats why it seems so low

for everyone

[vivid kite]

Do you have the same thing for coe?

[plain coral]

yeah

[lofty meadow]

What is admissions index column? Or is that gpa

[plain coral]

the stuff i just explained
0.25*sophomore year gpa
0.5*junior year gpa
0.25*midyear report gpa

[marsh musk]

whats considered a "special hook"

[plain coral]

legacy, athlete, top musician

[marsh musk]

so like

nothing that i am

💀

[plain coral]

athlete as in recruit

not just generally sports

i dont have an S either

[marsh musk]

i mean

im first gen

lower income

[plain coral]

oh

yeah that too

fgli = hoook

[marsh musk]

single parent

gg

[hot bone]

rip

[marsh musk]

whats an H

and an M

[naive grove]

Look at top left

[hushed cape]

sat scores

[naive grove]

its test scores

[marsh musk]

ah i c

[pine granite]

• at schools where a doctorate isn't offered

[plain coral]

what does that even mean

LMAO

[pine granite]

they don't have a phd program

most good colleges do

[plain coral]

oh

pls

[pine granite]

which is why that ranking is so dumb

[lofty meadow]

I was just about to use my own gpa stats to compare to your school, but it won’t work cause we are on the 4.0 scale and we don’t have APs lol

[naive grove]

bruh tf u got no APs?

intl or what?

or just ur school

[lofty meadow]

No, I go to a fairly small private Catholic school and they don’t offer aps

[naive grove]

oh I see

is that normal for catholic schools if you know?

[lofty meadow]

No I think it’s kinda weird

[naive grove]

I see

[plain coral]

we only offer 13 ap courses

out of like the 40

and no honors

[naive grove]

my school only offers 6

and we only started offering them last yr

[plain coral]

damn

[naive grove]

but I assumed we were about as bad as it gets

[lofty meadow]

It’s a weird situation, it’s a pretty rigorous school, all classes are honors

[naive grove]

my school basically dont do anyth

we never sent to t50 lol

so I was like if we offer AP basically anything must

[marsh musk]

we only offer 7 aps

nd they didnt let us take until junior year

in which we only had 1 free class slot

dumbass school

[naive grove]

same here Lmao

[marsh musk]

yea

[naive grove]

💀

[marsh musk]

so i got like

5/7

[naive grove]

not that it matters for me considering they only started offering any in my jr year

[lofty meadow]

Haha noob, I took every AP class that was offered at my school

[naive grove]

🐐

I got 5 of 6

[marsh musk]

i coulda had

6/7 but i took marketing 2 instead of ap psych

[plain coral]

i took 7/13

the remaining were like

calc based stats (i took regular)

[deft hedge]

my school offers like 25 APs and AICE

[plain coral]

ap chinese, ap french, ap latin

[naive grove]

what is AICE

[marsh musk]

@ my school marketing 2 is like purely a DECA class so I wanted more involvement within the club since im pres

[naive grove]

ive literally never heard of that in my life bruh

[deft hedge]

i took 11/25

[naive grove]

Do I live under a rock

or what

[deft hedge]

[deft hedge]

I wish it worked like that

[fierce rivet]

Real

[winged lotus]

Recently had this happen with CMU @rustic coral , ended with a waitlist. As such, would advise you to not 100% expect an acceptance despite this. Don't mean to be rude; this is just a better way of thinking about these things.

[plain coral]

i mean finaid never means acceptance

or rejection

the offices r separate

[rustic coral]

oh i was just joking i’m prob reject

[sand star]

5 days, 8 hrs to go

[plain coral]

brown was they only accept legacy/athletes from my school

[sand star]

[thick abyss]

Fr it’s literally all so so random

I was lucky to be the only person accepted to a school ea from my grade

Hoping that means smth

[sand star]

Mine’s still quite predictable so far

But it rly doesn’t with this crazy world

[sand star]

But idk abt ivy day

[lofty meadow]

Boston College: currently my favorite option right now given my current acceptances

Ah i see

[thick abyss]

I had my last exam yesterday

Literally cried when it was done

Spring break of pain here I come

[sand star]

And the most possible thing happening is me abandoning revising for music exam and go 💫 stressing 💫 again
