[glad dagger]

[crystal iron]

BRO

REMEMBER HARVARD

I know it’s bc the field requires a number but it was still funny in the moment

[dense nimbus]

or somethiung

[crystal iron]

Sorry dawg I am not opening the CSS website ever again

I’ve had enough

[crystal iron]

Do it urself

I think if u go into CSS and try to edit ur harvard info you’ll see what I mean

[idle meadow]

and we done with our astrology

[tropic venture]

VERIFICATION OF HOUSEHOLD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR DECISION. IT IS STRICTLY TO FIX ANY FINANCIAL AID DISCREPANCY FROM FAFSA AND CSS (OR OTHER FINANCIAL THING FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS)

[rigid jay]

^^^

[tropic venture]

please stop dming asking me if i have it for ur inner peace omfg

it has nothing to do with ur decision

[night plank]

GUYS i decoded 👾the alpha decimal code hidden in the yale admissions portal 😻😻 omggg…i think it’s the path to dan the bull dogs cookie jar???!

[crimson estuary]

😱😱😱

[vivid viper]

Sooo

Today I learned, yale called my school to set up interviews for 2 of my friends ☠☠☠

I had a stroke learning that

[crimson estuary]

why

[timber lance]

if you don't get a likely are you auto rejedcted

[tame tree]

yeah bro

confirm auto reject if you don’t get likely

haven’t you gotten one yet?

if you haven’t then I’m sorry you’re already rejected :(

|| /s in case someone doesn’t understand ||

[regal relic]

literally where did you ever get that conception

“i’m an autoreject because i didn’t get a letter that 1-3% of the ADMITTED CLASS receives”

🗿

[prime grotto]

thats the same as an auto reject imo ngl

[timber lance]

i read it on linkedin plus

[regal relic]

yeah fr boohoo i’m not in the top 1% of the top 3% of 50,000 applicants

[timber lance]

LMAO IM JK

[regal relic]

me when i’m not in the top 0.03%

[prime grotto]

a tragedy

[fading hemlock]

how were people's interviews?

[edgy marsh]

Good

[tame rapids]

non existent

[hushed rain]

Meh

[prime cloud]

[edgy marsh]

My Yale interviewer seemed p dis interested

But Penn was soo good!

[night plank]

but if i got a man 😬 yikes i would have been fucked

all my ecs r feminism related…and my interests r women related….i despise men…i have tayler swift in a locket around my neck all of those things

[tame tree]

It’s Taylor. Like Taylor series.

[night plank]

[night plank]

[night plank]

[edgy marsh]

That is really embarrassing

Even I know that

And I’m a MAN

[night plank]

IM BAD AT SONG NAMES

[edgy marsh]

and she wasn’t even my top 3 artists

[night plank]

[edgy marsh]

🫶

[night plank]

this is really sad yeah i might lay awake tonight thinking about it

[edgy marsh]

I’ll take it

[edgy marsh]

Yeah you should probably repent

maybe send her an apology on Instagram

[night plank]

i should i rlly should

maybe a love letter too

handwritten

[dense nimbus]

Saying that you hate a group of people as broad as men is just ridiculous anyways

[edgy marsh]

True

[night plank]

she’ll like that i think

[night plank]

i hate you

[dense nimbus]

Lol

[edgy marsh]

I hate Ivy League people

[night plank]

sorry it’s compulsive

[tame tree]

obviously

[night plank]

i have a rare genetic disease

[tame tree]

the person is trolling i'm sure

[dense nimbus]

Is she?

[tame tree]

well i hope at least

💀

[night plank]

well now you’ll never know

[dense nimbus]

Imagine replacing men with women or any race and suddenly it's an outrageous statement

Like the kind that gets you fired from your job

[night plank]

maybe there’s a reason for that

[edgy marsh]

“I hate wasps” replace wasps with Asian people. Not so nice is it? You racist

[night plank]

wasps are misunderstood they just sting people because they enjoy it

[dense nimbus]

Well wasps aren't deserving of the same level of respect as people are, no?

[night plank]

is that so wrong

[tame tree]

i hate firestar 😼

[edgy marsh]

Ily2

[dense nimbus]

Like are you seriously trying to use that as an argument

Hopefully it's just more troll

[edgy marsh]

it was actually a joke

[dense nimbus]

Aight good

[tame tree]

yes yes ik 😭

i'm trolling out here

[edgy marsh]

was talking to naiad nw

[night plank]

i feel like i came out of this a better man

[edgy marsh]

you need to be humbled to improve

[night plank]

carly let’s me troll as long as i don’t use no no words 😦

[night plank]

this is so true i actually took a test for narcissism yesterday and it was VERY high

[odd nimbus]

[night plank]

oooh that’s good senior or alum

[tame tree]

[night plank]

i mean i saw a ton of ints and cracked people get them this week for it’s probably good atp

but who knows

[tame tree]

i know ppl offered interviews for ivys on 15th march who still got rejected

[odd nimbus]

oh ok sick

[tame tree]

so yeah just don't get ur hopes up

[odd nimbus]

boutta be one of those ppl 😎

[night plank]

i love interviews because people want to talk to me about myself and i am my favorite topic

[tame tree]

lol nah just do the interview as you would any other

no extra pressure

[languid tree]

🤨

[hushed rain]

Maybe we had the same Yale interviewer lol

[queen glade]

Nah dude rock your body is so good

bewtter song

[tight hull]

i2u accepts u for what u are

[tame tree]

i2u 🐐

[tight hull]

so tru

[earnest pewter]

Lmao was your interviewer an Indian female?

[hushed rain]

No. But ig most senior interviewers aren't that interested in the job😭

[earnest pewter]

oh mine was alumni

not senior

[hushed rain]

Oh OK then maybe I just had a bad experience with a senior 😭

It wasn't bad nothing extremely weird like other a2c Yale interviews happened but it wasn't as good as my Penn interview so I'm just comparing them ig

[languid tree]

New bio drop

[tame tree]

Gotta post it in the UCLA thread Carly

[languid tree]

Hey Yale

No one is answering me in #🚀-general-chat

[short turtle]

Oh but they say senior interviews are a good sign

[remote flame]

does anyone know at what stage deferred applicants' applications are read again?

[tiny hull]

they just join back the application pool

not a particular stage

[remote flame]

ah okie

slate says my yale application has been decided and i'm wondering if that's like the one from when i was deferred or the actual one now

[languid tree]

Ngl i don’t see how slate helps

Not like it says your decision

I understand it’s used in actual offices

But as a student what benefit do you have stressing over it

[remote flame]

it honestly doesn't just adds to the anxiety

it's also so inaccurate like my vandy decision as alr been made but it says that my app is still in progress so

[exotic reef]

^^same

[edgy marsh]

I got a senior interview now watch me get rejected ‼️

[short turtle]

nah you’ll be waitlisted at worst

[short turtle]

yeah i mean it’s not like it can tell u whether accepted rejected

[nimble coyote]

it's probably because everyone secretly hates you

[languid tree]

Ok and

[nimble coyote]

there is no and

[languid tree]

I’m sorry to hear that ratfucker

[crystal iron]

THIS IS REAL

Hopefully you don’t get some Republican 💀 ik someone who got a Republican congressman for his Harvard interviewer

[crystal iron]

Ur so relatable queen

[fervent grail]

how do you link your application to slate

[night plank]

ur my everything

[crystal iron]

I LOVE U

bro

[night plank]

we r an ecosystem im just a little mouse a little rat and u r a hawk and u need to eat

[crystal iron]

my harvard interview hated SDS

she said it was authoritarian

"as the soviets"

[night plank]

NOOOO NOT THE SOVIETS

[crystal iron]

i was like ... oh! yeah! for sure

[night plank]

oh yeah…haha…fuck communism…

[crystal iron]

SHE HATED TOM HAYDEN TOO

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY I LOOKED UP TO HIM

[night plank]

WHY DO THEY HATE EVERYONE WE SPECIFICALLY LIKE

[crystal iron]

tbh i shouldnt be upset i got deferred

harv literally the establishment

[night plank]

u dodged a bullet tbh

LITERALLY

[crystal iron]

i know ...

i put on my democrat hat for the interview

i was like we need to find bipartisan solutions and compromise😃

[crystal iron]

she was a feminist but like so pro establishment?

like huh

[short turtle]

my Princeton interviewer didn’t wanna talk abt politics

which. yeah okay makes sense ig

managed to mention all I needed to so

[crystal iron]

mine was so great

actually

i got lucky

[rare jacinth]

i feel liek every single one of my interviews has involved politics

[crystal iron]

we just talked about like ecosocialism

and what the establishment does towards environmental interests

she didnt even interview me really

it was just a political discussion

i appreciated it

[night plank]

that’s sooo confusing does she get who wasn’t letting women vote the first time

[night plank]

my yale interviewer dropped the G-word five minutes in so i knew to avoid politics she was still mega cool though

[crystal iron]

whats the g word

[rare jacinth]

god or gay i think

[crystal iron]

LMFAO

[crystal iron]

me too

[rare jacinth]

it’s so fun especially because i get to rant about healthcare

[crystal iron]

i actually loved my dartmouth interviewer

she was like princeton she was just like capitalism sucks ...

[rare jacinth]

dartmouth penn and princeton have been my best interviews

[crystal iron]

we had like a discussion about dialectical materialism too

[rare jacinth]

i still talk to my dartmouth interviewer despite being rejected

[crystal iron]

marxist dartmouth ???

[rare jacinth]

can’t wait to update him on ivy day

[crystal iron]

and working class politics

AND MY GEORGETOWN INTERVIEWER

WAS A DSA MEMBER

i got so lucky 💀

[rare jacinth]

i reccomended to my penn interviewer to read anti oedipus.

[short turtle]

Only had Princeton and it was rly bad

honestly my profile isn’t that related to politics I just have the one thing

[rare jacinth]

interviews aren’t that impactful don’t worry about it too much

[short turtle]

god I rly hope not I think I found my stride halfway through but the start started out rly bad

what can u do when ur interviewer doesn’t know much abt ur hopeful major/concentration though

[rare jacinth]

my mit interview also went kinda bad it was awkward my interviewer kept trying to be fun and made strange faces at me

[short turtle]

rip 💀well u prolly didn’t make a bad impression

[crystal iron]

its ok my yale interviewer didnt really think politics was an academic field

💀

might have to just take the L in that report

[vivid viper]

You should've done a strange face challenge with him/her

[rare jacinth]

only reason i feel liek it wasn’t too bad was because we both had the same interests and job interests too

[remote flame]

bro how are your guys' interviewers actually complimenting you and stufff

i've had seven interviews and NONE of them have liked me

esp harvard

[crystal iron]

my harvard interviewer made like racist jokes against chinese people

im chinese

💀

[remote flame]

that man wanted to chuck me out the zoom call

[rare jacinth]

my dartmouth interviewer was a literal god send i miss that man we had a 2 hours interview it went until 11 pm

[rare jacinth]

WHAT

that’s crazy

you shoudl report that

[remote flame]

OH MY GOD????

[short turtle]

Oh that’s nice

[tame rapids]

after decisions you could def report them (or maybe even rn)

[short turtle]

Tf??? Okay that’s wilding

[crystal iron]

like how her and her harvard friends would make fun of this chinese guy's name in cambridge

who ran a restaurant

[short turtle]

wow that’s.

[crystal iron]

💀

i was smilin and nodding

[crystal iron]

maybe i will honestly

[rare jacinth]

you should someone like that shoudl nto he interviewing

[crystal iron]

real

[rare jacinth]

intolerance is insane if you’re volunteering to interview the next generation of students

[short turtle]

^^^

[crystal iron]

she was also like "all the chinese kids i interview wanna be doctors and theyre boring so at least youre different"

😭

[rare jacinth]

no that’s actually horrible i’m sorry you had to sit there and not say anything

[tame rapids]

"all my interviewers were smart and sensible so atleast you're different"

[remote flame]

STOP that's so bad

[crystal iron]

i got model minoritied within the model minority

💀

[night plank]

that’s insane 💀

[crystal iron]

it is💀 she also showed up an hour late and then asked to talk again and missed the report deadline

[night plank]

PLEASEEEEE

[remote flame]

BRO

[crystal iron]

all things considered that deferral makes more sense now

[remote flame]

you have to report her

[night plank]

why’d she even agree to do it 💀

[crystal iron]

the report file was probably a mess

💀

[rough python]

Imagine you edd somewhere and then got in and forgot to withdraw from Yale and then got a likely letter

[short turtle]

That’s CRAZY

[night plank]

nahhh howd this lady make it all the way through harvard 😭😭😭

[short turtle]

that’s so unfortunate

[crystal iron]

she was like 70

[short turtle]

that’d be. yikes man

[crystal iron]

the acceptance rate was like

[remote flame]

WHAT

[crystal iron]

40% back then or something

[rare jacinth]

at some points alk you needed to do was be white and speak english and you were in

[rough python]

That would fucking suck imagine how much regret you’d have for the rest of your life

[night plank]

if you could read and write you got in basically tbh wow

wish i could read and write in 1966

[crystal iron]

i mean ED is legally binding but like

[rough python]

My dad got into an ivy after having all A’s and being in the Arabic club

[crystal iron]

i dont think youd actually be sued

[short turtle]

Ud have exponentially less rights

[rough python]

😭

[crystal iron]

its a hassle for the school

[rare jacinth]

no it’s not legally binding you just get blacklisted if you back out

[short turtle]

I mean assume not that much bc u’d succeed regardless of where u are

[rare jacinth]

the contract you sign has no real power

[night plank]

but id go to yale ☹️

[rough python]

True but like

[rare jacinth]

it’s just a formality

[rough python]

Idk

[crystal iron]

💀

just go

[short turtle]

Well it’s your word right so they can tell other schools and other schools might blacklist u or rescind

[crystal iron]

worst case scenario you get sued at yale

[night plank]

i cant read and write

[crystal iron]

but at least ur getting sued at yale

🥰

[rough python]

Also I have a theory that Yale’s acceptance rate would be a milllion times higher if it was really ugly

I truly do

[short turtle]

meh

[night plank]

RIGHT tbh like it’s an honor

[rough python]

Same with half of the t20 schools

[night plank]

sue me mommy yale

[rare jacinth]

yeah that’s what i mean that’s the only thing they can do but legally they can’t do anything

[short turtle]

thought Princeton campus was lowkey ugly

[crystal iron]

i mean harvard is ugly

[crystal iron]

bro

what

[short turtle]

Still one of my top dream schools

[crystal iron]

no

im the numba 1 pton campus simp

[rare jacinth]

what i loved it

[rough python]

I’m talking like Binghamton kinda ugly

[short turtle]

i did go to Princeton right after Swarthmore

[rare jacinth]

i’m a cornell campus simp

[short turtle]

Cornell is beautiful and so is Ithaca

[rough python]

anyways you guys are all wrong rochesters campus is the prettiest

[rare jacinth]

middle of nowhere feeling is so nice

[short turtle]

Harvard is p good too

[rough python]

😔

[rare jacinth]

i liked dartmouth but they’re a stupid dumb ugly school 🥱🥱

(they rejected me.)

[short turtle]

Dartmouth in NH

[thorn pulsar]

imo uchicago had the nicest campus

[short turtle]

So uh rip but I’m different

[rough python]

Dartmouth is fucking wild

What even he it

Is it

[short turtle]

Tree

[covert rock]

im not a big fan of princeton campus either tbh

[crystal iron]

idk how my harv and yale interviews both went so bad 💀

[rough python]

I know a single person who goes to Dartmouth

[short turtle]

Thank god it’s not just me

[rare jacinth]

was my favorite ivy now it upenn and cornell

it’s

[crystal iron]

so awkward

[short turtle]

I should mention they had this forest section near the dhall that was beautiful

idk maybe I’m a nature simp

Maybe I should’ve thrown away civilization and ED’d to cornell

[short turtle]

well manifesting acceptance for u nonetheless

[tame rapids]

cornell ED was utter chaos

[rare jacinth]

wanna know soemtbing funny both me and my upenn interviewer teared up while talking ab immigrant parents and the issues that come with it most emotional interview i’ve had

[remote flame]

yale pls im as handsome as handsome dan accept me

[covert rock]

imagine getting an interview to harvard or yale, couldn’t be me 😎

[crystal iron]

my upenn interviewer was a white guy so i was nervous but he was like left leaning an a lawyer so

got lucky

[remote flame]

awe that's so sweet!!!

[rare jacinth]

mine was someone who was forced into studying medicine by his parents and he realized he hated it and went into finance

[crystal iron]

💀

[rare jacinth]

the most real interviewer ever tbh

he was rlly rlly young he graduated in 2020

[crystal iron]

my mit interview worked at mckinsley

💀

[rare jacinth]

that’s crazy

[crystal iron]

after getting chem e degree from mit and BME phd from jhu

[rare jacinth]

wtf

[crystal iron]

she was like great ideologically tho

just sold out in practice

and was aware of it

💀

except she mentioned harvard as a good fit for me

like

read the room

why do you think this is an RD interview !!!

[rare jacinth]

reminds me of this kid this year whi told me he wants to go to a good school study math work on wall street and give up his morals for money

💀

[crystal iron]

i tried to laugh it off

it was my first rd interview too

i was like DAMN

cant escape the deferral😭

[floral surge]

Is slate accurate ?

[crystal iron]

haunts me

and my pton interview was literally at umich

[rare jacinth]

i called my ao from my ed and she was speaking to me and i started crying mid conversation it was crazy and she was like “this is hard on us aos too” okay thank you so much but i’m literally sobbing

[crystal iron]

bc she works at a umich company

so like

💀

[rare jacinth]

we’re both in the same position rejected ed and got into umich

[crystal iron]

thats kind tho

[crystal iron]

i got deferred rea but same thing yes

[rough python]

Do you guys think that is more morally correct to work a job where you make millions a year that exploits people but donate all of the money to slow climate change or study environmental studies and try to make change through there and not have the money to make a big of an impact

[rare jacinth]

oh sorry 😭

[crystal iron]

LMFAO ITS THE SAME

harv rd aint happening

[crystal iron]

i think thats good yes

[rough python]

Which😭

[crystal iron]

im a proponent of actual activism and organizing

but movements need funding too

bc the opposition has money

[rare jacinth]

well it depends how the money is made liek dumping billions of pounds of trash and making money from thag isn’t rlly gonna help

[crystal iron]

we need both

like

[rough python]

Oh I fully agree

[crystal iron]

climate activism + climate philanthropy

more activism than philanthropy tho

[rough python]

Interesting

[crystal iron]

cuz climate is a class struggle problem

[rough python]

I was talking about this in a class lately and I thought it was a really wild question that I didn’t have a clear answer to

[crystal iron]

so rich people can help but can't solve it

[rough python]

So is nice to hear what everyone else thinks

[crystal iron]

because political revolution can only come from the working class

[rare jacinth]

let’s get married ilysm rn

[crystal iron]

i agree

when's the wedding

[rare jacinth]

i’m a fall person

[crystal iron]

me too

[rare jacinth]

so october sounds nice right

[crystal iron]

ok

[crystal iron]

💀 that too

things only happen thru political revolution historically though

cause governments have the financial means to finance green infrastructure

but corporate influences are antithetical to that investment

cause slashing emissions requires the de-licensing of existing oil capital

and state intervention that destroys private property doesn't happen in a free market

so unless neoliberalism fades as the dominant political ideology nothing's gonna happen

💀

@rough python

thats how i see it

[nimble coyote]

i'd exploit people for free

[crystal iron]

you can't exactly fund political revolution or a shift in dominant political ideology / ideological realignment of the public though

no amount of funding couldve created the civil rights movement

that was like community organizing and deep moral polarization

that created a crisis that the fed gov had to act on

it gets tricky with climate though cause nationalization of energy doesn't matter if the state's interests are the same as big oil thru lobby influences

whether it's public or private sector, the actual distribution of infrastructure investment is defined by neoliberalism rn

[silent aspen]

This checks out in yield rates when students are admitted to HYP

usually choose harvard lol

Nothing can break that brand name

[short turtle]

It’s 30-70 on parchment. Crazy crazy

[tight hull]

What the actual fuck

[wind cipher]

yep

[hushed rain]

I mean I'm international from a place wo many (possibly any) Yale grads so it could be just availability. I just hope the interviewer writes a good or maybe an average report I just don't want this interview to f my application 😭 they probably couldn't get any info on me from my LORs (it was my teachers' first time writing an LOR) so that's why they wanted to interview me ig. I'm anxious idk.

[grim agate]

honestly now I kinda want to get rejected by Yale and Penn

[vivid viper]

ada did you have a yale or penn interview

[grim agate]

no I just love Vandy

but if I got ivy I would have to go

[onyx kelp]

this was me at one point

[grim agate]

actually it used to stress me out that I didn’t get an interview but now it’s chill whatever happens happens

[onyx kelp]

I was in my vandy era

[vivid viper]

I didn't get an interview for either 😭

Literally my only interview was Duke LOL

Which is good I guess because I don't think I have the charisma to where an interview would help me that much

[grim agate]

I feel like there’s no way a metro w/ so many people has no availability like…

[vivid viper]

No fr lmao I thought at least being in DFW I would get like one

But nothing

[onyx kelp]

hey, i live near nyc and didn’t get a penn one

🤷‍♂️

[vivid viper]

My friend got a georgetown one but I think they require them

[vivid viper]

You're like auto admit level 😐

[onyx kelp]

😐

I am not

[vivid viper]

Be fr

[onyx kelp]

I am

idt id be an auto admit

especially not for yale or Penn

[grim agate]

maybe it’s a phase 😭 but it feels like real love 🥺

[onyx kelp]

I watched a ton of eliot choy videos about vandy lol

[vivid viper]

You got into harvard which is arguably harder

[onyx kelp]

yeah, but if you ignore that then I’m not an auto-admit level

[grim agate]

I actually hate watching Vandy vlogs lol

[onyx kelp]

I will disprove this on ivyday

don’t worry

[vivid viper]

I doubt it

[onyx kelp]

ok ok, just in case i bad luck myself

I will disprove that with my penn and Cornell rejection

I actually want to get into yale

[stable current]

i legit only got an interview w yale

no other school

[short turtle]

only got one w Princeton

[onyx kelp]

yale was my only interview for rd

[short turtle]

Days after submitting app, no way they discussed enough to need more info w me that quick

[short turtle]

Eh same difficulty

[onyx kelp]

isn’t the interview availability

[short turtle]

Idt I knew u got Harvard grats Luck

[vivid viper]

Yale isn't

[stable current]

they’re usually for more info

[short turtle]

And Yale isn’t availability it’s basis of more info needed

[onyx kelp]

so it’s for more info?

isn’t that bad lol

[stable current]

yeah

i hope not!

[vivid viper]

Yale's office explicitly says it's prioritized for people they want more info on

[short turtle]

Senior interviews are thought to kind of be a way for Yale to sell applicants on Yale

[onyx kelp]

like, ur app wasn’t good enough so they need more info abt u?

[vivid viper]

No, more like on the fence about you

[short turtle]

No it just says they’re still considering u

[stable current]

your app didn’t tell them enough for a definite decision

[vivid viper]

Acceptance rate is higher for those with interviews I believe

[onyx kelp]

😬

[short turtle]

Which is better than most esp now that they have the autoreject pre review

[short turtle]

Oh to be a REA deferral no interview

What do you mean u deferred me but you don’t need more info 😭😭😭

[onyx kelp]

perhaps they already made a decision to admit with no interview for some of y’all

🙄

[short turtle]

This is def possible

[vivid viper]

Wish I was good enough for that

[onyx kelp]

Yes

You were

[short turtle]

Maybe they haven’t discussed ur app in committee yet

[vivid viper]

It seems their "selective interview" thing is new though

[short turtle]

Since it’s still 25 days out

Not that anyone is counting

[onyx kelp]

im more worried abt no penn interview

they apparently interview 90% of ppl

[stable current]

yeah same

[vivid viper]

If you're worried what am I supposed to be 💀

[onyx kelp]

and im like basically in a city and haven’t gotten one

[stable current]

i’m from nyc it’s not like anyone isn’t here lol

[onyx kelp]

[short turtle]

U got Harvard ea no need to fret

[stable current]

fr

[hushed rain]

Wait so Yale offers interviews AFTER reviewing your app?

[short turtle]

Yes

[onyx kelp]

yeah, true at least I have a safety incase everything goes wrong on ivy day

[short turtle]

Stoppppp

[hushed rain]

Oh so I wasn't rejected yet. At least until 3 days ago💀

[onyx kelp]

What

[short turtle]

Nice

[short turtle]

Safety harvard

[onyx kelp]

Well, it wasn’t a safety before applying

it’s just a safety now

[stable current]

one of my friends have a private like retired AO that told him that the ivies are giving interviews to qualified applicants that are tiling on the accepted side

[hushed rain]

Dw I definitely will. My interviewer was so bored💀

[night plank]

that seems logical but tbh we’ll never really know

[short turtle]

^^just gonna try not to think too deep abt it

[stable current]

mhm

[short turtle]

with. No interviews lmfao

[night plank]

my grades and rigor aren’t good enough so i’m settled in ^.^ unless jesus himself comes down to bless me im half committed to rpi

[onyx kelp]

I got a Harvard interview request 1 week after submitting. There’s no way they read my app that quick

[stable current]

maybe you got an early read

[onyx kelp]

maybe

[stable current]

but tbh i don’t think you should be worrying

[short turtle]

Enough to contextualise in rest of pool???

[stable current]

idk lol

[hushed rain]

Isn't Harvard based on availability for the US and Canada?

[onyx kelp]

that’s what I thought

[night plank]

might’ve been flagged before he applied ^.^ ik a lot of bay area kids with great stats and ecs get interviews because schools have to compete for them

most interviews are definitely availablility but i doubt it’s an unbiased process

[onyx kelp]

Imagine being so cracked schools compete to get YOU

[night plank]

fr 😞

[short turtle]

HYPSM likely havers

[edgy marsh]

didnt u literally get into harvard

[night plank]

harvard i swear my rizz is cracked let me in

[hushed rain]

What about Yale

[night plank]

no don’t actually

[grim agate]

fr? 😟

[onyx kelp]

that’s what abcde said

[edgy marsh]

i am convinced that having a cat pfp is directly correlated with getting into a really good college

[night plank]

i think i might die if i went to harvard i can’t handle people with passion

[onyx kelp]

Yes but I’m not like super cracked or anything

[edgy marsh]

like r > .95

[edgy marsh]

thats fair

[vivid viper]

bro wtf are u worried for

💀💀💀

[vivid viper]

Bro shut up respectfully

[onyx kelp]

I’m like a2c normal I’d say

[short turtle]

Luck respectfully I get that you’re stressed as much as rest of us

[vivid viper]

If you're a2c normal then what are we a2c bottom of the bucket

[onyx kelp]

No

[night plank]

hmmm ur interview and essays were probably really good i bet! still awesome to get in

[short turtle]

But be aware you possess a surety that you will go to a college you will be happy at

[onyx kelp]

I think all of you are great applicants

[night plank]

also hope u get that penn interview soon

[short turtle]

And the rest of us don’t.

[grim agate]

@vivid viper source

[vivid viper]

bro just doing the side quests atp

[night plank]

don’t apologize to them because they r coping by beating you down

[vivid viper]

this is really funny 😭 not the harvard admit getting pressed w yale

why u stressing lmao

[vivid viper]

I just heard someone else say it 😟 let me research

like you ate down

[vivid viper]

UPenn typically offers an interview to more than 90% of its applicants.

[short turtle]

Nono I agree luck out here to stress just like any of us

[vivid viper]

https://www.quadeducationgroup.com/blog/how-to-get-into-upenn#:~:text=UPenn typically offers an interview,to learn about the school.

I don't know if this is trustworthy

[short turtle]

Wouldn’t we all like a choice

[vivid viper]

But I think that's where people got the number

[stable current]

my friend from PA didn’t get a interview

[short turtle]

But bro could stand to be a lil more aware of how he’s living

[vivid viper]

@grim agate from penn's website

https://admissions.upenn.edu/admissions-and-financial-aid/what-penn-looks-for/interviews

[onyx kelp]

yeah, you’re probably right

im sorry yall

[grim agate]

I’d say that’s reliable

[vivid viper]

don't apologize 😭

[onyx kelp]

im prob not in a position to say anything really

[vivid viper]

Don't be sorry you didn't do anything wrong 😭

just don't stress

like everything will work out

[short turtle]

We live and learn man. Hope you keep vibing with us as we stress together abt Ivy day

Personally I just need to get to March 17

[grim agate]

You literally did nothing

[short turtle]

At that point everything will start running again and I’ll be able to distract myself

[hushed rain]

How many decisions u have on March 17th

[short turtle]

Unsure no one’s announced

But swarth and NEU seem to always do third Friday of month

So that’s why the guess is there

[hushed rain]

One of my colleges did. If Swarthmore also releases that day it'll be 2

[short turtle]

It’s also 3 weeks out from decisions

So things can still come in

[hushed rain]

Yeah dw It's definitely random has nth to do with app strength

[onyx kelp]

yep, good point. ty.

[pale valley]

I really hope my handsome Dan will get me into yale 🙏

[rare jacinth]

THATS DI CUTE

[night plank]

AWWW HE LOOKS SO SOFFTTTT

[sly fossil]

at least ur honest

[sly fossil]

this feels like copium from a copywriter lol

anyone with some understanding of nuance would know there's plenty of degree fields (and general experience) where yale excels in a way harvard does not

[short turtle]

Agreege

So randomly aggressive for no reason

[olive topaz]

what happens to handsome dan if you get rejected? Does he become ugly 💀

[pale valley]

Ive had him for like 10+ years so he's gonna come with me wherever I go

[wind cipher]

nothing

his telomere shrink slightly and he grows closer to death

his cute ugliness is primordial

it always was and always will be

[olive topaz]

ahh so youll be a spy for Yale

I see

you better oust those fascists

[pale valley]

who hurt you

[olive topaz]

i likely got rejected so 🫡

[pale valley]

o7

[olive topaz]

dont worry i got into my target

more like low reach but

[tight hull]

Wym yep bro

[fiery iris]

was there a question at the bottom of the common app asking if you'd be interested in an interview? i remember waiving my rights to read a transcript from it and confirming i understood the question but may have declined an interview haha

demonstrated disinterest about to get me rejected

[onyx kelp]

There was a question that asked if you want to waive your rights to viewing your interview report if you receive an interview

I don’t think there was a question that asked if you were interested in being interviewed or not

[fiery iris]

ok great, was afraid i said i wouldn't want an interview

[sly fossil]

he already ugly

i mean its a joke account lol

NEW AMBASSADOR ALERTT 🚨 Located 2 full staircases below ground, this basement bathroom of the Wall Street Humanities Center has offered me refuge and serenity when I need to escape the confines of the athlete packed lecture hall balcony.

odd

[pale valley]

My pfp used to be some random squirrel

I like squirrels

[nova frost]

i just got my interview today

i thought they stopped with interviews

[hearty cipher]

i’m so annoyed i haven’t got one

[glad dagger]

nice

alumni or senior?

[hollow kite]

No they keep up interviews like all the way sometimes even to the week before

Congrats on it!

[nova frost]

alumni

but “urgent” in the title and has to be done in next 1-2 days apparently

so idk what that means

[glad dagger]

oh nice I thought it'd be senior given the timeframe

but it said urgent cuz they're probably already in committee and they need that report asap

[crystal iron]

Lolll i thought it was a umich squirrel bc umich is notorious for big squirrels

[pale valley]

It was an MIT squirrel

[robust bear]

danggg

this seems like good sign

[queen glade]

ive heard thats good

i remmeber hearing about the fact that people who's interviews had to be donew urgently were for like likelies and stuff

because there was a deadline to get likelies out

[hushed rain]

Mine also had to be done in a day after getting the email (it was 4 days ago) but I got a senior interview.

[hushed rain]

Where

I mean where did u hear this

[night plank]

their dreams

just means they r URGENT don’t astrologize bullshit 💀

getting an interview itself is a good sign

also likelies are done, no one on a2c has announced one for at least a week and a half

if people were getting them they would be screaming to skies

[nova frost]

did you get a likely?

[hushed rain]

No I don't even think my interviewer has even sent her report yet it was just a few days ago

And I don't think I will get one even if she has lol

[tranquil comet]

omg wheres mine

Manifesting Yale interview req post M15

Manifesting acceptance

[short turtle]

When I saw Yale defer

I just frowned at my phone, complained abt how annoying it was, then kept eating my fries

[languid magnet]

When I got my Harvard defer I was damn-near convinced that it was a rejection 😆

I laid on the floor and my mom and girlfriend were like "What?! What is it?" and then I actually read it 🗿

[short turtle]

Rip

that’s so funny

I opened mine with my friends

[languid magnet]

when none of my friends applied to anywhere but state schools :/

[short turtle]

So they were all like “what happened what happened” when I didn’t show a reaction

[short turtle]

:/ better than my friend group. 1 Yale admit 1 Yale defer 1 Yale reject walk into a room and are awk as fuck

[languid magnet]

"Fuck! I'm so mad!"
"Wait, you got rejected?"
"No, deferred. Ugh."
"Wait huh?"
"Hand me the fries."

[languid magnet]

oh yikes dang

[short turtle]

accurate transcript

[short turtle]

😭😭 was so convinced the Yale reject was gonna get in that he was the reason I checked my portal

I’d wanted to open it at home but he scared me bc I thought he fs would have a better result than I did

then he ran up all like “I got rejected” I flipped and checked immediately

[short turtle]

Anyway it’s fine we gonna take those Ws on March 30

[languid magnet]

oh 100%

pls Duke, pls

[languid magnet]

When the smartest person you know gets demolished by a 6-year-old at a math competition

[short turtle]

Praying praying praying praying

[short turtle]

??

[languid magnet]

Oh the idea about the person you were sure would get in getting rejected by Yale

[short turtle]

Oh yeah that lmfao

[languid magnet]

well good luck to you

idk why i applied to so many schools

UNC was a safety for me, and a damn good school, so i really caused myself some unneeded stress

[short turtle]

oh did you get in to unc

good job

[languid magnet]

yeah

[short turtle]

tyty

[languid magnet]

I mean, I'm top 1% of my class in-state, so it wasn't really a question of whether I was getting in or not

[short turtle]

oh wow

must be nice to live in state with t30 flagship

[languid magnet]

I've never been more thankful to live in NC

Might be the only time that has been the case

[short turtle]

i bet

I mean state flagship is fine for my major

but I don’t wanna

[languid magnet]

oh?

[short turtle]

yea I just don’t wanna

My one childish thing about this entire app cycle

I simply do not wanna go to state flagship

[languid magnet]

why not?

[short turtle]

It’s huge

So many people

Class would be hard to adjust to at least first few terms

and I don’t wanna do college as commuter

[languid magnet]

can you not live in the doors

[languid magnet]

that's definitely my state school, but it somehow does feel quite small

[short turtle]

No the way they make money is they jack up prices for boarding

Probably cost of room and board alone is more than cost of attendance as commuter

[languid magnet]

that's fair 😆

[languid magnet]

this is 100% correct in my experience

well that's fair

i take classes at my state flagship (kinda... NC State, not UNC)

it does feel quite homey, but I do have inroads there which is probably why

[short turtle]

State flagship is best college in ur state

For NC that’s definitely UNC

[short turtle]

That’s quite nice

[languid magnet]

not necessarily... it depends on the major

NC State's engineering and comp sci trumps UNC's

[short turtle]

Really? Huh

[languid magnet]

Oh yeah, NC State engineering is known nationally

[short turtle]

I’m not into engineering so I wouldn’t know

But that sounds rly impressive

Good work for u for doing DE at such a strong school

[languid magnet]

Thank you 😆

It doesn't feel like it in actuality, but I shouldn't take it for granted

[short turtle]

Yeah!!! You’re doing so well already taking steps toward ur future and working hard

[languid magnet]

Thank you, thank you. I definitely felt it when I realized that I don't have a Spring break this year (or fall break).

[short turtle]

Well

That sucks

I have the opposite problem,,, free for break rn

can think about nothing but application results

[languid magnet]

lucky!

[languid magnet]

oh gosh, distract yourself!

i started learning piano for that reason

[short turtle]

watching countless college decision videos and imagining the Yale acceptance open

[languid magnet]

and i'm cramming French

[short turtle]

i should start cramming French that’s a great idea

I was also thinking abt writing a skit for one of my clubs

[languid magnet]

i'm going to Paris for the summer which is why

[short turtle]

That’s very cool

I dropped French last year so

[languid magnet]

oh man you're digging yourself a massive hole 😭

[languid magnet]

that could be fun

[languid magnet]

i never took any classes 💀

[short turtle]

I rly rly am

[short turtle]

oh well

I’d advise learning common verbs and all their different tenses

pronouns/prepositions as you go

i rly like the news in slow French

[languid magnet]

I know some tenses, just kinda picking them up as I go

[languid magnet]

You're making your life miserable

i found a playlist

and it’s so good

a lot of the songs on here aren’t fast and have decipherable words

[languid magnet]

oh 👀

[regal relic]

it’s been helping me learn

[languid magnet]

sick!

i just think papaoutai is funny

if i did die tomorrow

it's so sad wdym

[short turtle]

yeah it’s like

The lyrics combined with the upbeat music

[regal relic]

OH ITS A PODCAST

[languid magnet]

His dad was killed in a genocide 💀

...when he was 9

[regal relic]

oh man

the podcast speaks quickly 💀

[languid magnet]

InnerFrench is good

My favorite podcast right now

Little Talk in Slow French has a bit too much English for me

[short turtle]

oh shit it’s real

[languid magnet]

Yeah...

[short turtle]

fuck me that’s so embarrassing

that’s so awful of me

THATS SO BAD WHAT

[languid magnet]

No I lowkey thought it was catchy too before I knew that

[regal relic]

oh my god i like innerfrench

just the right speed

[languid magnet]

yeah it's great

[short turtle]

i mean it is but like

oh that’s awful did not know that was real

Wow I feel so bad

wow okay this is why we need to be conscious consumers of media

okay wow rebooting

will never listen to it the same way again jeez

[languid magnet]

Yeah before I knew French I was like "Woah this song is so catchy!" then I looked up what the lyrics meant then I learned about his dad's death and I was mortified. That's French culture for you...

[short turtle]

ok I gotta say ty tho better to know

oh it’s like

the lyrics “serons nous detestables serons nous admirables” are weird in terms of like

who uses that phrasing

but didn’t think it was REAL

why are all the songs my French teachers give us so depressing

[languid magnet]

I guess that's just French culture? They seem to throw tragedy around easier than we do in America.

I've watched some French cartoons that were very much like South Park, so I think that generalization has some merit.

[short turtle]

possible

[languid magnet]

Oh yeah notes pour trop tard is another one like this. It's actually really good and super meaningful though.

[short turtle]

malheur à moi is my sad French listen

sorry i mixed up title and start of the chorus

[wheat oar]

does anyone know whats up w the yale financial aid office

its so hard to contact them

[crystal iron]

Omg hi

Bestie

[crystal iron]

Just call and wait on the line

It worked for me

[wheat oar]

hmm thanks i'll try that..

[night plank]

omg hiii i missed u

i cried

[crystal iron]

LMAO HELLO

[sly fossil]

i wish i knew

all financial aid offices suck

[wheat oar]

Ikr

[sly fossil]

this works for most prospective issues but it can get fun when u have more complicated stuff, but that won't be an issue if unless u get in

[sly fossil]

i have so much beef with that office

someone on the phone misadvised me - granted, it was an incredibly niche issue but they answered with such confidence lmao

ended up getting charged late fees and getting them reversed took a while

the best part was when the person i was emailing back-and-forth about the issue stopped responding, so i made a ticket about it and she was rly annoyed and said i hadn't emailed her like smh

[wheat oar]

Dang that sucks

they also don’t try to understand your issue and give the most generic answers

I had this issue w columbia too. I gave up trying to explain an issue with IDOC where they mislabelled my tax returns

Received a similar passive aggressive email reminding me that my financial aid application is already complete. They didnt even read what i said

[sly fossil]

ehh its fine i just wish they had in person appts

[wheat oar]

Yale isnt even replying tho I’ve been trying since 10 days. I’ll call them tomorrow

[sly fossil]

calling is generally the best way

you can get quick answers on most issues as most issues are generally very similar

just be careful with edge stuff

[wheat oar]

Yeahh personally prefer emailing but ive realized that they’re not that helpful

[night plank]

[regal relic]
