Cornell (SUNY Ithaca) (2022-2023)

[oblique haven]

I didn’t even think of their parents

[amber lantern]

the father daughter relationship does not allow for this kind of stuff

[amber lantern]

DUDE THEY HAD TO SITIN A MEETING

WITH THE PARENTS

IF BOTH

[oblique haven]

I would die

[amber lantern]

it’s funny

we don’t have drama mych so that’s p cool

[oblique haven]

and it was a secret relationship

real scandalous

[amber lantern]

they’re just getting made fun of

my school is a whorehouse tbf

everyone has a RPT of like under 40

acc no

most ppl have

relatively lower RPT

for the fact that not many are in

rs

[lapis barn]

CORNELL PLZ ACCEPT ME I LOVE YOU

[rustic coral]

w-2 and tax return

[winged glacier]

Wait but that’s in the idoc though

The form they asked me for wasn’t in the idoc

[rustic coral]

yeah i was confused

what did they ask u

[winged glacier]

For some corporation tax return

But we don’t own a corporation, only an LLC

so we emailed Cornell

But I am curious why on earth they would ask it now instead of asking me anytime earlier

[lapis barn]

bc u got in most likely

[winged glacier]

is that actually true??

[lapis barn]

usually when colleges ask for extra forms, it means u got in

most likely

idk

seems like it

[winged glacier]

usc asked me for an extra form the week before decisions. They rejected me

[lapis barn]

oh then nvm

[winged glacier]

hopefully Cornell is different

[lapis barn]

yes for sure

[winged glacier]

cause i think usc saw im poor and knew i wouldn’t attend

[lapis barn]

yeah usc is money hungry

@winged glacier can i see what they asked u

they asked for a tax return for me too

but idk if its the same

[plain coral]

ehh

i dont think the finaid forms mean acceptance

with cornell

cuz the offices r separate

and prev applicants from the early applications received the same late requests and were rejected/deferred

[lapis barn]

ohh 😢

thought it meant something

[plain coral]

me thinks its cornell tryna cover their asses after extending their deadline a month and a half

and now theyre fucked over but im p sure they extend every year

😭

so idek

[lapis barn]

yeah fr

[marsh musk]

ye i think their fin aid shit is automated

cause u dont see people talking about it like dartmouths, for example

[lapis barn]

oh okayy

that sucks

[marsh musk]

where they r all like 'TheRe HaSnT beEn aNyOneE rEjeCteD in 25 YeArs wiTh tHis EmaIl'

[plain coral]

😭

[marsh musk]

ye dont lose hope tho!

[winged glacier]

it’s automated, but every time i actually missed a document, they emailed me immediately

[lapis barn]

same they kept emailing me

[winged glacier]

but this time they asked for a brand new document

[lapis barn]

whats it called

[winged glacier]

they’ve never asked me for this before

[marsh musk]

ye they emailed me 3 times for docs but never any NEW docs

[winged glacier]

some corporation documents

like corporate taxes

[marsh musk]

could be a good sign

[winged glacier]

hope so fr

[marsh musk]

might mean they were goin through ur shit but i wouldnt place any bets on it

[winged glacier]

I’m on a 7 school L streak

[marsh musk]

just wait the few days u will find out soon

[winged glacier]

hope so man

[lapis barn]

oh they just asked for regular tax return stuff

[winged glacier]

nah it was a specialized form they wanted

[lapis barn]

i think this doesnt mean anything

[rustic coral]

yeah standard

[lapis barn]

someone told me their to do list is blank

[winged glacier]

let me send the doc

[lapis barn]

okay

[rustic coral]

mine has like 4 docs 😭

i need to get on it

[marsh musk]

just send them

[tawny prism]

my todo list just says no info found or something

[marsh musk]

cornell is easy to send docs to

[rustic coral]

where do i send it?

[marsh musk]

they have a secure document uploader

so you can just upload it directly to cornell

[lapis barn]

idoc

[winged glacier]

they sent this on friday

[marsh musk]

i think mine says this too\

lemme check

ye

this what it shows when u got every doc in

[lapis barn]

but i sent my dad's tax return

so why is mine not blank'

[marsh musk]

well

the status says

received

[lapis barn]

does ur parents own a business or something

[marsh musk]

so maybe they just havent cleared it yet

[winged glacier]

yeah but not a corporation

but they’ve never asked for this document before

[lapis barn]

i got the same email but for w-2

[winged glacier]

i also got W-2, but just bc i forgot to send my css

[lapis barn]

yeah

same

[lapis barn]

mine looks like that too

[winged glacier]

this one they just asked for yesterday

but it says due 2/15

[rustic coral]

which school did u guys apply to

[lapis barn]

ohh the business one

[rustic coral]

cals

[lapis barn]

engineering

[marsh musk]

Dyson

[winged glacier]

arts and science

[lapis barn]

what major

[winged glacier]

chemistry i think

[lapis barn]

i applied for electrical and computer engineering

[rustic coral]

environmental and sustainability

[winged glacier]

i got a cornell interview

[lapis barn]

i never got an interview

but its not really an interview though

[marsh musk]

Applied Economics & Management

[lapis barn]

just qna right

[tawny prism]

i want cornell baddd but i’ve lost hope i’ll be real

[winged glacier]

it is non evaluative and availability based (as they say on the website) but i was the only one in my school that got it

[lapis barn]

same after getting rejected from northeastern

[marsh musk]

how comes

[winged glacier]

my interviewer was my dads boss 💀

[lapis barn]

lol

thats strange

but he had to have put a good word in for u

since yall know each other

[marsh musk]

cornells interviews are non evaluative

so like knowing his dads boss doesnt help him get in

[lapis barn]

oh right

[tawny prism]

finaid astrology stuff 💔

[marsh musk]

what ab it

[lapis barn]

whats the astrology stuff

i need to know nowwww

[tawny prism]

just them not asking me for stuff is kinda sus i think

cause like

[marsh musk]

did u have missing docs?

[tawny prism]

apparently cornell actually cares about parents tax returns being signed

[marsh musk]

ye

[lapis barn]

yeah they said mine wasn't signed

[marsh musk]

they did for me anyuways

[tawny prism]

the one i have in idoc isnt and they haven’t said anything about it

[lapis barn]

hmm thats weird

[winged glacier]

wdym?

[vernal raven]

No finaid is seperate from admissions

[lapis barn]

check notes on the email

[lapis barn]

yeah i got the same one

[marsh musk]

I dont necessarily think thats a bad sign though kate

[tawny prism]

yeah i haven’t so

eh

[winged glacier]

no notes

[lapis barn]

really

[marsh musk]

They coulda easily just not caught it

[winged glacier]

So many schools say that, but at this point I’m skeptical

[tawny prism]

it’s whatever now i’ll find out soon 🤞

[lapis barn]

are u sure bc most rich kids get into top schools

[deft hedge]

we going full CC here

[marsh musk]

fin aid is separate from admissions but what everyone gets @ with astrology is, why would the financial aid office go through so much effort to make financial aid packages for say 40k students if only 2k will need them

[lapis barn]

lol

[vernal raven]

Thats different

[lapis barn]

okay

[vernal raven]

At need blind schools fin aid is separate from admissions

Cornell and most other top schools are need blind donestically

[winged glacier]

exactly, you said it perfectly

[marsh musk]

yea so like

[lapis barn]

ohh okay got it

thanks

[marsh musk]

how much money you need doesnt effect your decision

[vernal raven]

Bc they have no idea whos getting in or not

[marsh musk]

ye fair enough but youd think need-blind or not they wouldnt waste the effort yk

[tawny prism]

🤨 debatable i think

[winged glacier]

at this point they would? they’re pretty much decided atp

[vernal raven]

No if theyre need blind theyre actually need blind

[winged glacier]

USC?

[marsh musk]

because need-blind just means that someones financial situation wont effect their ability to get admission

[vernal raven]

Yes because the admissions and financial aid processes are seperated

[deft hedge]

the fin aid office knowing full well that 90% of their work will be completely useless (they need to fill out a hypothetical fin aid package for every single student)

[vernal raven]

You can ask ry in the financial aid thread

[vernal raven]

Mroe than 80%

[marsh musk]

ye fair enough, id say the emails are automated

[rustic coral]

wish cornell was like dartmouth

[marsh musk]

but wouldnt it make more sense for admissions to just send fin aid the students who have a chance of getting admitted

[vernal raven]

In a perfect world yes

[lapis barn]

frr

[vernal raven]

But theres too many issues with that irl

[marsh musk]

ye so i mean these colleges have been around for like

mad long youd think they would have good processes in place

although with how long it takes cornells fin aid email to respond they prolly are working on fin aid packages for every single applicant

[vernal raven]

Exactly, youd think so 😭

[marsh musk]

ye which is why i think so many people believe in the portal astrology

cause it doesnt really make sense for them to do all that

[vernal raven]

Yea but rhey do it

[deft hedge]

sent email 9 days ago, still no response

[marsh musk]

ye i sent one long time ago too ended up just calling instead

[vernal raven]

Like ry has talked abt this before and they are truly seperate processes

[marsh musk]

sat on hold for 30 mins but it was btter than waiting for the email

[rustic coral]

i would kms before working in a college fin aid department

[marsh musk]

ye fair enough im not in the fin aid department or know v much at all other than just the process

[lapis barn]

frr

[marsh musk]

just going off what i would think

and what ive heard

[rustic coral]

we’ll know in 5 days 🫡

[marsh musk]

for real

boutta be spinnin my wheel

[deft hedge]

i personally don't believe in it because i don't want to get my hopes up

[marsh musk]

ye nor do i

although i do kinda believe in the dartmouth one

the email + the portal dates

[deft hedge]

what is the dartmouth astrology

[plain coral]

HI

besties

[marsh musk]

Hi

[plain coral]

cornell!

[marsh musk]

[marsh musk]

! Yea !

cornelL!

[plain coral]

dyson airwrap

[winged glacier]

^

[thick abyss]

What’s up hall

Yall

[deft hedge]

[plain coral]

omg smart

[deft hedge]

with due date 2/15

[marsh musk]

too expensive

[marsh musk]

[winged glacier]

These are the dates in mine

[deft hedge]

thats significant about these dates?

its just when you did it

[lapis barn]

what is the irs schedules

i dont have that

[marsh musk]

most dont have it

its for extra sources of income

p sure

[wicked saddle]

Sure as hell gonna affect me lmao

[marsh musk]

well

i think cornell is need-blind domestic

but need-aware intl

[wicked saddle]

I’m international

[tall hare]

ithaca is beautiful

[marsh musk]

is it?

[wicked saddle]

It is

[marsh musk]

the only complaints ive heard about cornell are about ithaca

💀

[tall hare]

idk it looks nice on google images

[marsh musk]

im sure theyre cappin

[tall hare]

i blindly choose an ivy

and it was cornell

[untold marsh]

💀

[tall hare]

so hi everyone

i just wanted to apply to an ivy

[topaz aurora]

campus is nice, ithaca could be better

[wicked saddle]

“It’s in the countryside” “there’s nothing to do” well u shoulda known that coming in bud

[marsh musk]

shhh i havent been there so i cant say nothin

[deft hedge]

my interviewer hated Ithaca

[rustic coral]

if cornell accepts me i don’t mind ithaca but rn it’s definitely …. ☺️☺️

[plain coral]

my dad said ithaca is beautiful

when i toured it was raining tho

🌝

[rustic coral]

i bet it is!

[plain coral]

oo

october

school time

thatd be nice

[thick abyss]

82???

that hot omg

[plain coral]

in the summer

ehh

kinda surprising

in southern ny it easily reaches 90s

probably city bullshit though

cuz ithaca is past the cows

and cow land

the drive to upstate ny is actually like so peaceful

wait this is adorable

wtf

[marsh musk]

it looks fake

[plain coral]

in a good way tho

[topaz aurora]

mega saturated photos

[marsh musk]

for real

[plain coral]

but its Adorable

oh ya and the gorges

not subway 😭

yall stop making me love conrell

im gonna be crushed

like the loving and obsession is post-decision

[marsh musk]

shush

you prolly got a good chance

and ur dad works there so

bonus points

have faith!

[plain coral]

i said case would be the decision i cry about

but at least i wasnt rejected so i was like whatever

cornell i would cry about

[fallen arch]

cornell is very cold i wouldnt be sad

[marsh musk]

all the ivys are cold

lol

[hallow sierra]

[naive grove]

does your dad think you will get in lol

[calm wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-marvel-small-price-pay-for-salvation-gif-14748250

[plain coral]

he hopes but supports backup plans

[marsh musk]

well

its cold where im from

[naive grove]

personally I would find it quite surprising if you were rejected

[marsh musk]

so theres not much of a difference anyways

[rocky timber]

looks like a better executed promenade

we have a ton of those in socal

[naive grove]

did you have an ED/REA?

[plain coral]

rejected jhu ed

spoilered cuz its bright

[naive grove]

So I assume you had quite a significant preference JHU over Cornell?

Cus ngl if I were you I might have just been like lol there is literally no way I dont get into Cornell ED

[round venture]

lol

i've been to those place

A night, its a little sus

at

[spare obsidian]

dont lose hope for any reaches

[plain coral]

yeah

[round venture]

Personally, I wouldn't walk in downtown past 9 by yourself

[plain coral]

i did

i dont tink i wouldve gotten in cornell ed though

[round venture]

walking at 12am on campus is totally fine though

[spare obsidian]

heres my ugly ass decision spreadsheet

[plain coral]

ik multiple ppl who got rejected who likely have better gpa or ecs

[rustic coral]

omg fellow questie

[spare obsidian]

omg hi

[rustic coral]

CONGRATS ON MITTTTT

[spare obsidian]

unmatched finalist aswell?

[rustic coral]

ONLY@LIKE 5 PPL MATCHED UR CRAZY

yes

[spare obsidian]

THANK YOU!

[naive grove]

bro getting tossed out by BU, Northeastern and into MIT

[spare obsidian]

I got in RD tho not NCM

i got rejected from almost every other school including safeties tho so never lose hope for reaches based on current decisions

[thick abyss]

BRO MIT

[vernal raven]

Fit >>

[fierce rivet]

MIT 🎉

[fierce rivet]

So true!!

[round venture]

@spare obsidianCOngrats on MIT, I got deferred Cornell ED and now I got early admission

Same as well, I got rejected by A LOT OF ScHOOLS!

but who cares

[vernal raven]

Wait u got deferred?

How did u go from deferred to likely

[round venture]

LOCI I guess

[vernal raven]

Musta been peak LOCI

[round venture]

Yeah

I worked pretty hard on that shit

[spare obsidian]

Thank you and congrats to you also

I was deferred from MIT then accepted with an empty FUN form and no interview so idek how i got in
college makes no sense

[thick abyss]

WOAHH

Im so mad I didn’t apply to cornell ed

I feel like I screwed myself over

[round venture]

College makes no sense

don't worry too much about it

[thick abyss]

True

Just feel like that there are a lot of me that applied early

[round venture]

You showed to the college that you want to BE there

[spare obsidian]

well you have some acceptances under your belt now
my ed columbia rejection completely broke me 1- you applying ed probably wouldnt have changed the decision and 2- it wont hurt as much if you get rejected
either way youll be fine

[round venture]

Nowadays college just like to do yield protection

I showed cornell my 100% of commitment

[topaz aurora]

us college apps are so random and confusing

[naive grove]

Lol yes

it is just gambling simulator

[thick abyss]

Lmao cornell is gonna HURT but Ty!!

[thick abyss]

I tried this

Submitted outside lor, and I think my why cornell essay was p strong

[spare obsidian]

well goodluck i hope everything goes well

[solemn sleet]

I should’ve done MIT RD bro

Could’ve joined yoco in the fall

[deft hedge]

i need a miracle at this point

5 rejection streak rn

[vernal raven]

Just cross register smh

[static tangle]

same man ur not alone

LOL

[open glen]

Why not JHU via QB RD

[solemn sleet]

true but I’d rather just go to mit directly

You had to withdraw your other apps when you commit, right?

[spare obsidian]

they werent added as a partner yet

[solemn sleet]

also how you rejected from stony lol

yield protect?

[spare obsidian]

started only for next year

[open glen]

I don’t know it’s yield protect

Think

Wrong word

[spare obsidian]

no you dont

[open glen]

No

My friend committed to West Point

[solemn sleet]

Oh?

[open glen]

He hasn’t withdrawn

Icies yet

Bc no point withdrawing 2 weeks before

[solemn sleet]

So what happens if you get into an ivy or something

Can you unenroll

and then commit to ivy

[spare obsidian]

i was given the option to have my app reviewed for majors outside of college of engineering and did so its not really yield

they let me in for math but i planned on withdrawing anyway

[spare obsidian]

you can but mit is my top choice

[solemn sleet]

Gotcha

[spare obsidian]

im just curious about all my other schools

[solemn sleet]

Yep, good luck!

[marsh musk]

bro

this looks like a bunch of legos

congrats on mit <3

[spare obsidian]

also waitlist from bing so thats wierd too

[spare obsidian]

thank you

[solemn sleet]

you’re from ny?

[brave root]

i'm guessing ma

bc umass amherst and other boston schools

[vernal raven]

Thats only for ed

[solemn sleet]

Bing, hunter, brooklyn, Stony tho

[brave root]

lol sorry i'm a clown

[spare obsidian]

nyc yeah

[solemn sleet]

noice

[spare obsidian]

i cant afford amherst tho oos but tried anyway

[solemn sleet]

I didn’t even update my college list since the summer lol

[spare obsidian]

so my only option pre mit was cuny

[brave root]

i didn't know ppl outside of ma applied to umass amherst, it has a reputation for being a party school idk

[solemn sleet]

Mine is just like 1 big box

[vernal raven]

If i rejected from my next 5 schools do i go umass for cs or bc for math?

[solemn sleet]

I only know it has good food

[spare obsidian]

for cs they do since its a great program and they give nice scholarships (16k for me)

[brave root]

nice

yeah umass amherst #1 for college food 😎

[spare obsidian]

but even after that and max aid 30k coa which is too much for me

[brave root]

do you wana work in cs?

[spare obsidian]

much prettier than mine

[vernal raven]

Ehhh not really, if i do it then im doing it for the money

[brave root]

I'd pick bc for math if cost isn't an issue

obviously not biased

[rare kettle]

Math! Be an adderall-fueled academic!

[brave root]

^^

[rare kettle]

There’s no joy in life with joy in life

[brave root]

also math degrees might become useful you never know

with ai and everything

[rare kettle]

Plus, money is the root of all evil, so being paid jack shit for your credentials is good for the soul

[rare kettle]

Unless the AI starts doing math 😳

[brave root]

let's only pray the world doesn't get to that point 😔

[vernal raven]

I do like math but what would i do with a math degree

[brave root]

nothing 😄

[rare kettle]

Actuarial science, statistics, accounting, or grad school and become a math phd

[brave root]

jk become a professor

or you can sell out and do finance

[rare kettle]

Yuck

[vernal raven]

Might have to do math major econ minor and go into finance ngl

[spare obsidian]

me wanting to do research in ai to avoid that issue

[rare kettle]

What is AI starts doing AI research?! 😳

[brave root]

😭

[spare obsidian]

until ai can research itselff 😳

[rare kettle]

if you guys aren’t aware

GPT 4 can update itself

[brave root]

we'll all be jobless soon enough 🥲

[vernal raven]

Not worried

Chatgpt is dumb asf

[brave root]

WHaT

are you being serious

[wicked saddle]

expound

wym by update itself

i know they have plugins now that allow it to parse from the internet

[rare kettle]

https://youtu.be/mpnh1YTT66w

[spare obsidian]

i wanna mess around with 4 but im not paying that subscription

[winged glacier]

Not sure someone brought it up

[rare kettle]

Yeah watch that video

And even if GPT 4 can’t

Think about the AI that isn’t free to the public

Surely it can

Like you know the military is ahead on this front

[brave root]

ai gonna solve the twin prime conjecture

[rare kettle]

Better than all the false alarms from those bozos with BS solutions

[brave root]

LOL

[rare kettle]

But yeah if AI starts doing math I really don’t know what I’ll do

Like what jobs will we even need to have?

[solemn sleet]

Doctors

[rare kettle]

AI doctor? Definitely could be a thing in a few decades.

[solemn sleet]

Sounds too dangerous

Not sure ppl would trust it

[rare kettle]

It’d probably be safer than human doctors after a bit of training

[brave root]

ok i was gonna type of joke but it would've been too bad

[vernal raven]

I dont think we’ll reach this level of ai anytime soon tho

[spare obsidian]

i say we just burn all technology and go back to the medieval ages

[solemn sleet]

Agree

[rare kettle]

Why not?

[spare obsidian]

says a cs major 💀

[solemn sleet]

I want to live in like the Roman Empire at its peak

[rare kettle]

I’ve always thought that but then again, we are in the best period of human civilization ever thanks to technology

[vernal raven]

If anything it’ll be blocked by the government in interest of keeping the economy lol

[rare kettle]

Imagine sending pigeon mail to your crush

my vp 💪

[rare kettle]

Tucker Carlson said he’d do that, I just wonder the extent to which it’d be legal.

[rare kettle]

You better hope you’re in the top .001% of people or your life will be hell. 😂

[solemn sleet]

Yeah, true

sounds fun tho

[brave root]

same i want to be a peasant

[vernal raven]

Probably very, very little

Bc nobodies gonna wanna allow hundreds of thousands of jobs to be taken by ai and lose all those voters

[rare kettle]

College App essay opening line: “I fantasize about being a peasant in Ancient Rome.”

[rare kettle]

True, but we’d also fall behind countries that do allow it

[vernal raven]

I doubt many countries would though

[rare kettle]

I feel like the arts are safer than STEM

[vernal raven]

For sure

[rare kettle]

But then again what if we become so shallow that we don’t care about the human stories behind the arts? 🤔

Deep thoughts

[vernal raven]

Yk if u think abt it it doesnt even matter

[winged glacier]

should i call cornell on monday about the additional form they asked for on friday

[vernal raven]

Bc global warming is gonna kill us before we even have the chance to develop AI

[vernal raven]

No

[rare kettle]

Doubted

[vernal raven]

Unless u need something to be explained about the form

But if ur just gonna ask why they sent it dont call lol

[vernal raven]

Why

[winged glacier]

no i said before that they asked for a corporation form bht we don’t own a corporation

[vernal raven]

I see global warming ending us by 2040

[winged glacier]

we only have an LLC

[vernal raven]

Oh then yea call

[winged glacier]

ok sounds good maybe they’ll drop hints as to whether i was rejected or not lol

[vernal raven]

Why wouldnt u call about that

[grand oar]

Cornell is the last school my bestie finds out about…we’ll see how taht goes

[winged glacier]

We emailed but wanted to follow up cause decisions

[marsh musk]

Just call

I emailed like

10 days ago an no response so I called instead

But be prepared for 30 mins on hold

[winged glacier]

Ok sounds good lol

I’m definitely gonna call then

[lofty meadow]

What is this call about?

Someone fill me in, I hope I didn’t miss something important lol

Oh financial aid?

[vernal raven]

!ivyday

[rare kettle]

2040 seems really early, and we’re developing more sustainable energy sources.

[vernal raven]

Yea but we’re destroying the planet

We finna die to microplastics and seed oils

[calm wyvern]

i fucking love microplastics

[deft hedge]

i would be surpirsed if they even gave you a hint

[rare kettle]

Well that’s not global warming… you might be onto something though 😂

I just think 2040 is way too early

[marsh musk]

march 30 7pm

[winged glacier]

Yeah some form they asked me to fill Friday randomly, it’s a brand new form but it doesn’t rly pertain to me, I think they mistook the type of business my mom owns

[open glen]

One of the specialized hs?

[spare obsidian]

No, private Jewish school
Almost went to a specialized hs ( i wanted to, took the test got in to all of them except stuy) but I got an almost full scholarship to the Jewish school and my mom wanted me to have a Jewish education

[open glen]

And let me guess

You’re agnostic/atheist now

🤣

[spare obsidian]

...

how tf you know

[open glen]

I’m religious

But like 90% of my friends

Became agnostic

[spare obsidian]

jewish or ?

[open glen]

Muslim

[spare obsidian]

ah

[thick abyss]

Crazy arse Jewish schools

The one my rly good friend goes to has a tree at the school engraved with hookups

Forever grateful my parents didn’t send me there

[lofty meadow]

Ah im Catholic

[spare obsidian]

hwat

[lofty meadow]

We’re the trifecta we three

[thick abyss]

Ik 😭

[spare obsidian]

[thick abyss]

4th one i met on here i think

[thick abyss]

Hell yeah

Not literally lmao 😏

I’m not that religious tho

[lofty meadow]

I’m new gen jewish sorta

[thick abyss]

But I miss bar miztvah season everyday

[spare obsidian]

i only keep some stuff so same

[thick abyss]

Wdym?

[lofty meadow]

Well we read the Torah and the Old Testament

[spare obsidian]

those the same thing

[thick abyss]

In Catholic school? Or like for fun

[spare obsidian]

well partialy

[vernal raven]

My parents wanted to send me to a prep school but they thought we couldnt afford it, but i prolly coulda got a scholarship 🥲🥲

[lofty meadow]

Torah is the first five books of the Old Testament: Genesis, exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Numbers

[spare obsidian]

the torah doesnt include prophets (neviim) or ketuvim

[lofty meadow]

Not necessarily Catholic school, scripture is just a pillar of being a practicing catholic

[vernal raven]

Thoughts on kanye’s apology, as a Jewish group?

[thick abyss]

Kanye didn’t apologize rly and he can never truly come back

[lofty meadow]

Kanye is full of shit, and he is not your friend. He is a complete loon

[spare obsidian]

ye ik

[thick abyss]

He’s also racist af

[shadow mountain]

Let’s try not to get too deep into Kanye and his religious views guys

[thick abyss]

True

[rare kettle]

I think Kanye was on some wacky drugs when he tweeted that and has now dug himself a hole by claiming that the world is after him.

Oh sorry

[spare obsidian]

i didnt even know he gave one and idrc guy is crazy

[pine granite]

he apologized no?
but yeah dudes batshit insane

[thick abyss]

I’ll just say that he harbors horrible sentiments and I do think we can acknowledge that without being political

[rare kettle]

He must’ve been smoking some good weed 💀

[vernal raven]

I think he’s just like actually psychotic

[warm solstice]

jai mata di

[hollow perch]

is cornell on your guys slate

[lofty meadow]

Not even sure what that means

But it is definitely on my mind constantly lol

[wraith reef]

Slate is a service that some colleges use to track applications, and some of them let you check the current status of your application (like whether they’ve made a decision yet) through the slate website

[lofty meadow]

??? I am unaware of this

[wraith reef]

It’s not important to most people, don’t worry if you haven’t heard about it

Probably about half the schools I applied to let me see the status

It doesn’t really relieve any anxiety whatsoever LMAO

[thick abyss]

They don’t use it no

[hollow perch]

yeah same i just made one bc i was curious

[wraith reef]

What the frickity frick is this thing

Is holding the message clicking reply really too hard

[lofty meadow]

I don’t have that

[wraith reef]

I can’t even scroll to the channel summary thing now because it just makes me reply to a message

I have to click the channel name to see the member list

[sand star]

For me its 6 am

Cant wait to cry in the morning

[rigid lynx]

Around 3 am for me

A breakdown in the middle of the night

[sand star]

U gon wait?

[rigid lynx]

I mean it's the new year's holidays for me, so I don't have anything in the morning. Plus it's Ramadan so everyone in my house is gonna be up at 3 am anyway

[sand star]

Oh i see

That’s a great way to start the day then

In my country they call it sahur

I wonder if its called the same in your country

[rigid lynx]

We call it sahari, but sahur is the Arabic term

[sand star]

Ah

Cool

[rigid lynx]

We don't speak Arabic though

Yah

[open glen]

Happy nowruz!

[round venture]

Wow

I believe in all of you guys! Cornell is not the only option, so don’t be too sad if you didn’t get in.

[fierce rivet]

😃 ❤️

[tall hare]

sahari? frrr

[indigo moat]

i wish i knew that before a quiz competition

the question which if we answered wud have gotten us into national finals was what slow cooked meat dish is named after the urdu and arabic names for morning

it was suhri or sehri

which i didnt know sigh

[rustic coral]

wow that sucks

[narrow moth]

was it heritage quiz

[indigo moat]

[narrow moth]

lmao i did heritage quiz

pickbrain is so so good

[indigo moat]

[narrow moth]

stage round

[indigo moat]

giri was also quizmaster at this quiz called Questa and one question he asked still is my fav question to date

[narrow moth]

tcs is more competitive than heritage

[narrow moth]

oh wait heritage is not pickbrain

[indigo moat]

he showed a table of number of peaks and grams

[narrow moth]

he's the guy with long hair who does heritage

[indigo moat]

and asked where it might be from

[indigo moat]

the answer was Toblerone (the chocolate bar)

[indigo moat]

there is this other quizmaster lloyd sandhanya i think, he worked with pickbrain or was related somehow

[earnest bloom]

what was the lowest gpa accepted by Cornell in class of 2026?
any ideas?

[indigo moat]

and he is great too , he was quizmaster at thomas cook travelista quiz or smth dr name

[rustic coral]

why is ivy day sooo late

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rustic coral]

[wind nimbus]

live laugh love

[rigid lynx]

Yeah we have so many imported Arabic words in Persian, but we mostly conjugate them using Persian rules.
So we have Sahar (which has slightly different meanings in each language) and if you wanna conjugate it with the فعول form, you'll get Sahur
But we don’t have that form in Persian so we use the ی letter after Sahar to indicate that this meal is related to Sahar, which gives you سحری

(I'm assuming you speak/read Arabic because you knew about sahur)

[earnest bloom]

we say nauryz instead of nowruz

do u?

Kazakhstan student here

[rigid lynx]

No we say Norooz

Do you say ryz meaning day too?

[earnest bloom]

like rooz = ryz

yes

[open glen]

@rigid lynx wait you finished HS?

[earnest bloom]

rizz

[open glen]

I’m the rizzler/j

[rigid lynx]

Yeah I graduated 2 years early

[open glen]

Oh dang

[rigid lynx]

Oh we say rizz for sth tiny or small

[earnest bloom]

bro it was a joke

[rigid lynx]

Oh shit

[earnest bloom]

nauryz

ryz

[rigid lynx]

Ok😂

[earnest bloom]

[rigid lynx]

[earnest bloom]

like in kazakh nauryz is march

[rigid lynx]

The month of March?

[earnest bloom]

yes

[rigid lynx]

No we use the Persian calendar

[open glen]

Your +2:30?

[rigid lynx]

So it's farvardin rn

[earnest bloom]

and its also holiday

like from 21-23 march is nauryz holiday

[rigid lynx]

Nature day on Farvardin 13th u go out w family

And like release gold fishes that you got for 7 sin

And the Sabzeh

You return it to the nature

[tall hare]

yup, and thats so interesting!

[rigid lynx]

It's not a nature friendly tradition at all though because gold fishes aren't supposed to go in rivers they change the ecosystem 😂 it's just called the nature day

[deft hedge]

Day ?!? Of wishing for an ivy miracle

[rigid lynx]

Yeah I think I'm not sure

[thick abyss]

Day 6,415 for me

[rigid lynx]

Any internationals here who didn't apply for aid with the CSS profile but instead with the online form that Cornell sends u instead of CSS?

[hallow sierra]

[earnest bloom]

[oblique haven]

anyone who did a non custodial waiver request hear back from Cornell about it?

[spare obsidian]

they dont look at it until after decisions i think

mit didnt until after for me at least

[oblique haven]

oh really? interesting

It says they received it

I just haven’t heard back wether it’s approved or not

[spare obsidian]

yeah

why would they look to see if they can approve thousands of them when only some of those students will be accepted

they wait until after decisions and check them only if you are

*for most schools

[rustic coral]

where does it say this

[oblique haven]

the financial aid to do list

[oblique haven]

mmm okay thank you

[muted thicket]

are you still waiting on Cornell just to see if you can get in lol

since you already committed to MIT

and also holy

congrats on the acceptance

[lofty meadow]

i mean if you are def already committed to MIT (congrats btw), you could just withdraw your application

because i want that spot if you get it 🙏

[spare obsidian]

i am waiting for the ivies out of curiosity

thank you

especially cuz ive been rejected literally every other selective school so i wanna see if anywhere else sees what they saw or was it some crazy fluke

also its 4 days out my withdrawal isnt changing any decisions

[lofty meadow]

true

[deft hedge]

Day ?!? Of wishing for an ivy miracle

[hallow sierra]

[tawny prism]

idk why people type it

you can do !ivyday in #🤖-bot-commands tho and that’ll give you a countdown to cornell decision

!ivyday

[sour blade]

Ivy Day Decision Date

Ivy Day decisions come out <t:1680217200> in your local time
3 days, 5 hours and 11 minutes until the decision date

[winged glacier]

Why on earth is Cornell financial aid only open from Tuesday through Thursday

[hallow sierra]

[rustic coral]

i can’t find their number ?

[winged glacier]

idk where it is, my dad called

i think it was in the email they sent me on Friday

[marsh musk]

I can send it to you

[winged glacier]

Yeah it is

607-255-5145

[marsh musk]

ye

although

I was on hold 30 mins when I did call

so be prepared to wait a lil

[lapis barn]

why did yall call fin aid

just wondering

[marsh musk]

They said I had a doc missing that I didn’t need

and I had to upload 2 other docs

[winged glacier]

They requested me to send a brand new financial aid document on Friday for an S-Corp, but we don’t own an s corp, only an LLC so we have no 1120 schedule 2 document

[winged glacier]

Financial aid is closed today

Only open Tuesday through Thursday

[marsh musk]

Ye I called last week

[winged glacier]

Oh ok

[marsh musk]

At like 3pm

[winged glacier]

Oh ok

[lapis barn]

[topaz aurora]

[thick abyss]

What have I missed y’all

[humble meteor]

[winged glacier]

Cornell

[deft hedge]

[muted thicket]

Corn L

[devout sorrel]

cornell 😭

[wind nimbus]

Hey I’m here now

Next decision I open is cornell 💀

I’m not rdy

[vernal raven]

Same

[naive grove]

I have vandy

then on ivy day Im going alphabetical I think

or should I go order of preference ascending?

[round venture]

I have 5 more decisions left

Vandy, Emory, Cornell, Yale, UCB

[wind nimbus]

Im jus goin cornell then brown

It don’t matter

[open glen]

I have 4 more

Columbia Cornell duke Yale

[wind nimbus]

Then duke and cal on Friday

[open glen]

Isn’t cal on Thursday

[muted thicket]

I'll open Cornell first and Penn second

[wind nimbus]

Thought it was fri tbh

[rigid lynx]

Spin a wheel rn and write down/save the order

I did it last night because I'm too impatient to do it on ivy day

But I'll probably lose the order by then

[lofty meadow]

Cornell, Penn, Dartmouth, Vandy, Gtown

[round venture]

Just open the one that you think you would get accepted first lowkey

[wide marlin]

Brown, Cornell, Yale, Columbia, and then Harvard

[rigid lynx]

No that would be devastating if u don't get in

[deft hedge]

that seems like a terrible way to start off lol

im gonna open the one one i think i have the most chance last

so if i get in before i wont feel bad

[round venture]

It goes either way if you think about it

[deft hedge]

nah, i wont be surprised when im rejected from harvard or yale

[round venture]

I always have pessimistic mood when I open my decisions

[deft hedge]

but opening cornell first and being rejected is gonna hurt

[round venture]

So it doesn't hurt too much when I get that rejection

But since cornell already accepted me, i'll just open that first

its going to calm me down for that UCB and Yale rejection

[wind nimbus]

id rather end on a dub

more hype

but like i only hv 2 options

cornell and brown

and did my best for both essays

[deft hedge]

trust me im numb by now but I don't want to be completely devastated first decision i open

[wind nimbus]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wind nimbus]

hahahahaha i hv 11 rejeections : )

[round venture]

Idk, I don't want to be sad for my first decision

[vernal raven]

Im going upenn cornell harvard

[deft hedge]

its always awkward in those videos when they get a early acceptence and then all rejections, its always way more hype when all rejections but last one is acceptence

[round venture]

I swear no

It hurts your mental so hard

[vernal raven]

Upenn i applied just for fun like 10 days after deadline

[round venture]

If I didn't get my cornell early admission, I will be devastated by now

I got so many rejections of LAC

from*

[deft hedge]

ive gotten rejected from all reaches, i just want to end happy 😭

[round venture]

I got rejected by most of the reaches I applied

I have one top 40 offer, and I withdraw from many others colleges

[wind nimbus]

i got rejected by like my whole top 10

[round venture]

College app are random man.

I'm blessed to have my dream college acceptance

[vernal raven]
