Yale (2022-2023)

[glad dagger]

I've been getting a few good signs but nothing concrete

can Ivy Day come already

[short turtle]

thanks 😭 ive got four acceptances and none of them gave me enough aid yet

[pale loom]

what all tell meeeee

[short turtle]

URoch UMich Drexel tufts

[pale loom]

i have wustl after 2 days pray

[pale loom]

drexel is a scam ong

[short turtle]

I beg,,,, aid please Mr. Ivies sir

[short turtle]

It is

[short turtle]

Will do

[pale loom]

just gives 16-30

k

[glad dagger]

tufts meets 100% of aid right

[short turtle]

Drexel gave less aid than UMich OOS

[pale loom]

yeah too crazy

but like

[short turtle]

So did URoch quote unquote

[pale loom]

wassup with publics having incredibly low acceptance

[glad dagger]

oof lame

[pale loom]

bro like for internationals ucsd, ucla and uci has been a bloodbath

[glad dagger]

same thing happened to me and cwru but I just rejected them

didn't bother to appeal they were spamming too much

[short turtle]

well the rly good ones get so many applicants and they have to save spots for instate

[pale loom]

but fuck ucs can't afford them

[edgy marsh]

How many fingers would you break (guaranteed recovery after 2 months) to get into yale

[glad dagger]

all 20

[short turtle]

Honestly Californians are also a huge victim of UC system

[wheat oar]

Does no verification form mean rejection or is there still some hope

[short turtle]

All my fingers and toes

[pale loom]

yeah but like this year purdue didn't accept many instate.. purdue cs acceptance rate was 6 percent 💀 and engineering was like 11 percent

[short turtle]

Actually wait

10 toes 8 fingers

I need to be able to do my internship

[edgy marsh]

💀

[glad dagger]

I'll just use voice typing for two months idc

[short turtle]

For in state?

[glad dagger]

big W then

[short turtle]

Nah my employer would be hella max

[pale loom]

overall

and they

rejected

instate with 1560 sat

and shit also

[short turtle]

idk ik it’s crazy

[glad dagger]

my friend applied with like a 28 IB and 1200 SAT 💀

he's delulu but idk

[short turtle]

i do think any OOS should have low expectations for public schools

they have a duty to serve

but private school intl admissions so bad

[dense nimbus]

dont make me think about these things bro 💀

[pale loom]

some different approach apparently from one of the zoom meetings,, purdue overall acceptance rate is down to 33 percent from 70 percent

[glad dagger]

😔

[pale loom]

bro u have jhu 😭

[edgy marsh]

A hobby of mine is asking my friends the most absurd “would you rather” questions

[pale loom]

all rejections till now asking for aid, international, and india and comp engineering gg fml

[glad dagger]

oof a deadly combo u got going on 💀

[dense nimbus]

the answer is probably 10 though 💀

[dense nimbus]

💀

[edgy marsh]

would you rather me poke your eyes or me poke your glasses but if I poke your glasses there’s a 50% chance the glass shatters all over your face and into your eye

[dense nimbus]

Uh

poke my eyes

lol

that is like

objectively the right answer

Probably

[glad dagger]

I wear contacts I have no feelings in my eyes anymore lmao

[edgy marsh]

How low should the glssses probability be for you to change your answer

[pale loom]

i legit poke my eyes everyday to see an acceptance

[dense nimbus]

Very low

well depends how hard you poke

[edgy marsh]

True

[dense nimbus]

if you're like poking my eye so hard its being damaged

Then odl

idk

if youre just poking it like you poke someone in the ribs

like

0.01% Lmao

it aint gonna do any permanent damage to me

[edgy marsh]

my friend said she would choose glasses option because it’s probably cleaner than a dirty fingernail

[tame rapids]

imagine getting accepted to yale anywhere

[glad dagger]

but it's glass 😭

[dense nimbus]

how many schools

do you got left

and how hard are they

[edgy marsh]

Not a would you rather but just something interesting—let’s say you had a box that could be filled with 100 beads. And you shake the box in a constant motion for a few seconds. How would you graph the average sound generated with the number of beads in the box?

For example if there’s 0 beads then there’s gonna be no sound but if there’s 100 beads there’s also gonna be no sound but do u think 50 beads would generate more or less sound than 60 beads? What number of beads do u think makes the most amount of sound? Do you think the graph would be like a bell curve or have some sort of skew like a t-distribution

these are the random things I think about.

[dense nimbus]

I will choose

not to consider

[pale loom]

i have purdue engineering

[dense nimbus]

any of the information

[pale loom]

and 6 more schools

[dense nimbus]

with which I was just presented

[pale loom]

all reach af

[edgy marsh]

Please 🥺

[dense nimbus]

[robust bear]

sounds like some jane street shit lol

[edgy marsh]

My brother and I talked about it for like 10 minutes

[dense nimbus]

idk

it probably depends on the material of the box and tghe beads as well right

does a bead on bead collision make more sound

than bead on box

[robust bear]

^

[edgy marsh]

Hmm

[dense nimbus]

And

I will stop thinking about it now

[robust bear]

true

[edgy marsh]

bead on box I think

[dense nimbus]

and go pay attention to class

[tame rapids]

solvable but would require so many parameters
is the sounds produced by ball-ball collision more, less or equal to that of ball-box collision
are you shaiking the box from side to side, or are you rotating it in tight circle, if rotating then is it about an axis or is it you making the com go around with no rotation about any axis
what is the coefficient of restitution of each collision

[pale loom]

which class

[dense nimbus]

AP Psych

[edgy marsh]

Juniors r taking sat rn

[pale loom]

damn

[edgy marsh]

So I’m at home

[pale loom]

pre med

[dense nimbus]

Nice

[edgy marsh]

I was thinking a somewhat inconsistent back and forth shaking , and also bead on box

Like some probability distribution

of shaking

[tame rapids]

also my astrophy works were focused around similar n body collisions in a continuous medium so solving this would be fun ngl

[dense nimbus]

cant believe y'all have ever done anything interesting

in ur whole HS career

literally couldnt be me

[tame rapids]

inconsistent would make it very ....inconsistent
like lets assume you put it on a conveyor belt and make it do ideal shm about a fixed point, then that could have some mathematical framework to base the solution around

[edgy marsh]

As in like

Let’s say the shaking function was randomized every time

in some distribution

And we averaged it out over many trials

For each unique number of beads

I’m saying that because the shaking can’t be perfectly horizontal

[tame rapids]

that would be a cool way to approach it given apt sample space is noted

[edgy marsh]

Yeah

[robust bear]

too big brain stuff

[edgy marsh]

Also how the beads are placed matters

There’s a lot of things we could randomize

and it could change the answer

[tame rapids]

well if you're randomizing it they would prolly end up in hexagonal or cubic close packing

[edgy marsh]

There may be a simpler version of this with less variables

Also shape of beads

Circular or square or wtv

But that matters less

[tame rapids]

Im assuming solid incompressible spheres

[edgy marsh]

Yes

[tame rapids]

it does matter when considering collisions

[edgy marsh]

I meant that

Sphere beads are most common

no one uses hexagonal beads

[tame rapids]

also non round objects would pose a staistical trench of considering corner- face, corner-croner, edge-face, edge-edge etc collisions, each of which is bound to give off a different amplitude of sound

[dense nimbus]

Why is my ap psych class literally alr 8 minutes over

[edgy marsh]

We’re assuming only bead box makes sound

Or

Bead bead and bead box would be interesting

[tame rapids]

oh ok so no bead-bead sound?

[edgy marsh]

since every collision and it’s angle (assuming non spherical) would be diff

[edgy marsh]

I think so

[tame rapids]

lets mention portal astrology a couple of times to sweep mods in and then they can help us out too /hj

[edgy marsh]

😭

guys if u solve this problem u get into Yale [not clickbait]

[languid tree]

Idk math sorry

[edgy marsh]

It’s just guessing

None of us know what we’re doing

[tame rapids]

yeah fr

[languid tree]

Sounds like effort

[edgy marsh]

We’re just listing random things that could be factors atp

[languid tree]

I prefer doors or wheels ong

[tame rapids]

thats just regular math

[edgy marsh]

Depends how u classify each right

Is my mouth a door

are holes doors

[tame rapids]

technically yes

[tame rapids]

if so then what differentiates doors from windows,
and if its the percentage area of the wall occupied then are big windows doors too?

[edgy marsh]

Maybe the ratio between length and width has a cap

[tame rapids]

so a weird shaped window = a door

[edgy marsh]

yes?

I think???

[tame rapids]

then what are skylights

[edgy marsh]

Doors

wait

Oh…

hm

[tame rapids]

for batman yes, but in general...

[edgy marsh]

Doors aren’t made of glass

[tame rapids]

they can be

[edgy marsh]

Oh yah they can

doors can’t be on the roof

[dense nimbus]

Not any useful ones, at least.

[edgy marsh]

True

[tame rapids]

doors dont have to be useful always

[edgy marsh]

okay forget dooors

[dense nimbus]

Yeah

thats my point

[edgy marsh]

What clasifiques as a wheel

[dense nimbus]

if u just

[edgy marsh]

classifies

[dense nimbus]

decide to put a door on the roof

why isnt it a door

anyways why are we talking about this 💀

[edgy marsh]

Aren’t I technically a wheel

[tame rapids]

thats a useless door but still a door

[edgy marsh]

Aren’t doors technically wheels

[dense nimbus]

Wtf bro

[edgy marsh]

Bc they can rotate with enough effort

[dense nimbus]

Everything is a wheel

[edgy marsh]

what is a wheel

[sly fossil]

managed to spend a total of 20 hours at yale before packing up and leaving

[edgy marsh]

Yeah

Exactly

[sly fossil]

so true

[edgy marsh]

guys isn’t this so #intellectualvitality please accept me Stanford

[sly fossil]

anyway there are more wheels than doors i will not expand

[edgy marsh]

Correct

Would you mind compressing instead

Into a black hole perhaps

[sly fossil]

no im already small enough

do u just want one extra transfer spot smh

[edgy marsh]

maybe.

[tame rapids]

so a rolling pencil is a wheel

and wheels can be doors

so....

[edgy marsh]

But not every wheel is a door

But every door is a wheel

[sly fossil]

Connecticut 🥵🔥

[tame rapids]

but you could make a door out of a rolling pencil given a thin enough entrance

[sly fossil]

every door has multiple wheels in its hinges

[edgy marsh]

But not every rolling pencil has an entrance

[sly fossil]

and so there must be more wheels than doors

[edgy marsh]

Ur making that cut

[dense nimbus]

Im going to

block all of you

[sly fossil]

no i will settle this discussion

[edgy marsh]

That’s a smart answer

Using actual logic

[tame rapids]

but say there's a slit on the table, i keep a pencil to cover it, now i roll the pencil over

[edgy marsh]

how many pencils do you think are are covering slits on a table

versus how many pencils in the world

Or you could argue

[tame rapids]

well if we're talking about statistically likely scenarios then the most probable will be people not discussing this

[edgy marsh]

Every object is covering a “slit” of uneven edges of surfaces

Making every object a door

[sly fossil]

that is certainly a logical leap

[tame rapids]

if a boulder rolls in front of a cave, blocking its entrance for a split second, does that make it a door too then

[edgy marsh]

Yes

[edgy marsh]

If this is a door then so is the boulder

[tame rapids]

well that was meant to be a tool to pose a question but interesting

so anything that has ever been in between two things and then...wasnt between those things anymore becomes a door

[edgy marsh]

idk man

pun intended

[tame rapids]

undercover Yale AOs checking up on a2c and seeing this conversation

[edgy marsh]

💀

[dense nimbus]

Literally bro

what am I witnessing

At this point

eventually you guys are gonna conclude that every object in the universe qualifies as both a wheel and a door

and its a tie

gg

next we get into concepts

like the college admissions process

the college admissions process can be interpreted as a door, as it acts as a barrier between students and higher education

but I havent yet seen a reason for it to be a wheel (feel free to enlighten me)

so for the time being doors are winning

[edgy marsh]

But we also call them application CYCLES

Which implicates a circular motion

Wheel

[short turtle]

Go touch grass

Also a pizza isn’t a door

[crystal iron]

HONESTLY LOL

I had to call the office like 3 separate times

[tight hull]

ily yale i will renounce stanford 4 u let me in pls

[tame rapids]

fr
like, No i dont keep track of my parking expenses from 2021😭

[crystal iron]

Dude on Harvard css

It asked how many trust funds I had

And I put n/a and it gave me an error

💀

I see how it is Harvard!!

[tame rapids]

still better than princeton using a separate portal altogether

[muted grotto]

harvard css asked me to list cars my fam has and then didn’t actually give me enough space in the text box to list them

[trail arch]

i love you yale

baeee

dont hurt me like this

me and you 🤞🤞

[pale valley]

Css is wack, also my efc was SO different between FAFSA and CSS

[remote flame]

bro what why are you freaking out 😭 you're gonna get in...meanwhile i'm over here freaking out after being deferred...

[queen glade]

i wanna make friends rn in a2c

so that i have friends when i go to college

who’s coming to yale with me

[hollow sky]

do u tho???

not sure these r the ones u want to b associated w

[queen glade]

fair point

some people here r cool tho

[glad dagger]

me

if I don't get in I'll just move in

who's gonna stop me

[queen glade]

ong

i actually uh

bought all the housing in new haven

i will destroy the city’s real estate markets if you don’t let me in yale

[glad dagger]

I'll find a sugar daddy to host me and pretend to be a yale student

if all else fails just donate a building or two

[queen glade]

okay

you’re not indian right

[glad dagger]

nah

[queen glade]

i have to tell you about this brilliant bollywood movie

it’s called 3 idiots

basically this guy has this theory: anyone can go to school if they want to

u just have to go sit in the class and learn

we should all do that at yale

[glad dagger]

yes

kidnap dan until they let us in

[hollow sky]

me asf

i'll j start attending class whos gonna know

[short turtle]

NOO I’m sorry I was just manifesting I possess no likely

I was also deferred actually

Good luck to the both of us

[short turtle]

MEEEE

The waves of paranoia have begun

Did not realize how attached I am to an Ivy League acceptance until now

But. I really want Yale

I’ve memorized all the acceptance indicators as well (videos for Yale and Columbia, huge tiger for Princeton)

[dense nimbus]

idk

Im feeling good about yale for some reason but im also feeling good about stanford

its the great delusion

[robust bear]

☹️

[edgy marsh]

Well with ur decisions so far, u should be feeling optimistic lol

[dense nimbus]

i suppose but theyre literally yale and stanford

im 2A 1R at t20s so far if I end with a ratio like that itd be insane

[vivid viper]

Lol I got like
2A/1W to 3R

About even

[edgy marsh]

My decisions at t20s are 0A ‼️

idk what a t20 is

[dense nimbus]

[edgy marsh]

I don’t think I’ve gotten into any though

[dense nimbus]

most arent out yet tho

so its ok

[vivid viper]

You'll find out later !

When you get in

[edgy marsh]

Is Umich a t20

[vivid viper]

Idt so

[edgy marsh]

then 0A I think

[dense nimbus]

idk its borderline

[edgy marsh]

Is cmu a t20

[dense nimbus]

personally id say no but u can argue it is

[edgy marsh]

Carnegie mellon*

[dense nimbus]

personally id say yes cus Im biased towards the insane CS department but I think most rankings would say no

[vivid viper]

Cmus weirder

[edgy marsh]

oh

Then yeah I don’t have anything lol

[vivid viper]

The cs is literally like

[edgy marsh]

We will see later

[vivid viper]

#2

But idt the uswr is above like 30

[edgy marsh]

Uswr?

[dense nimbus]

uswr?

[vivid viper]

Ok it's 22

Us news and report oops

[edgy marsh]

United States written ranking

Where’s the w

[vivid viper]

Mobile 😭

[edgy marsh]

Ohh lmao

[charred cedar]

u get into yale?

[dense nimbus]

No

[edgy marsh]

No

They’re saying

If they got into yale and Stanford

It would be insane

and that theyre harder than where he’s gotten into so far (jhu and smt idt im allowed to say)

[dense nimbus]

🙏

[charred cedar]

@dense nimbus are u URM?

[dense nimbus]

I am white

[charred cedar]

then how likely?

[dense nimbus]

I think cus my school is rural

[charred cedar]

low income?

[dense nimbus]

No

[charred cedar]

so either u got a nobel prize

or that

lol

[dense nimbus]

yeah my school is title 1 and in the middle of nowhere

so im pretty sure im getting carried by that

[charred cedar]

what is title 1

[dense nimbus]

has a bunch of low income

[charred cedar]

hmmmmmm

[dense nimbus]

why are college admissions so horrifying

[short turtle]

You put too much value on URM/other life context “hooks”

I’m not saying they’re not impactful but you talk about it a lot

[quaint rover]

One week left? already.. lesssgooo

[charred cedar]

its not too much value

[short turtle]

are you ORM

[queen glade]

is yale a t30 school?

[charred cedar]

yeah

[short turtle]

aaaa no

[short turtle]

in the way that it’s a t200? Yes

[quaint rover]

nopeeee, ofc nOT

[queen glade]

idk if yale is that good, like it’s my saferty so idk if i wanna go

[charred cedar]

I just dont think race should be used in admissions

[queen glade]

stop this convo rn

[quaint rover]

same dude

[queen glade]

otherwise you will summon carly

[edgy marsh]

hmm I feel like it’s an okay school but probably win higher

[brisk phoenix]

this guy lmaooo

[short turtle]

I’ve bagged t30s so far at best but also as far as usnews goes I only applied to t30s below and ivies

[short turtle]

okay stop before you break server rules

[queen glade]

i bagged 1 t30 so far

[charred cedar]

ok

[short turtle]

Oh which one Abhi

[charred cedar]

i like civil discourse tbh

[edgy marsh]

😒 same guy who keeps saying “women in engineering have it so much easier” lmao

[quaint rover]

i got one t15

[charred cedar]

?

[queen glade]

USC

[short turtle]

congrats

[short turtle]

oh yeah!! congrats

[queen glade]

i’m gonna guess JHU?

no wait

[quaint rover]

thank youu

[brisk phoenix]

he also told me 760 sat meant i was bad at math and not good enough for mit

[queen glade]

Vandy??

no wait

[edgy marsh]

😭

[queen glade]

hmmm

[short turtle]

Goddamn

[queen glade]

760 is ass sat score

sorry

i have to be honest

[dense nimbus]

he means

SAT math

[edgy marsh]

I think he means 760 in math

[dense nimbus]

I think

[queen glade]

i mean if that’s for one section that’s good but 760 overall is terrible

[edgy marsh]

yeah

[queen glade]

oh. LMFAOAOAO

MB

[dense nimbus]

bro yeah

sorry

760 composite

[queen glade]

760 math is okay

[dense nimbus]

means ur liek

[brisk phoenix]

yeah i did

[dense nimbus]

in a vegetative state im so sorry

but it just does

[queen glade]

it’s a great score

[quaint rover]

760 in sat math is prettttty good

[brisk phoenix]

1540 sat total

[dense nimbus]

like u cannot be applying to t20s with a 760 composite

[queen glade]

it puts you really high up

[short turtle]

Bahahahah

[edgy marsh]

u got FORTY BELOW PERFECT?!?! How dare you!!!

[quaint rover]

but 800 is always better :):

[queen glade]

anyone else do the non calc challenge for their SAT?

[short turtle]

Uhh idk what u mean

[queen glade]

i did the sat 2 times and did non calc challenge both times

[short turtle]

I took the SAT over a full year ago

[quaint rover]

how much did u get

[queen glade]

u just show up without a calculator for the exam

[queen glade]

800 both times :D

[dense nimbus]

Well

[queen glade]

i’m a math kid

[dense nimbus]

I probably only used calc once or twice

but not on purpose

[short turtle]

Why would you do that

[quaint rover]

NOICE

[queen glade]

yeah

[short turtle]

Seems stupid

[queen glade]

thanks!

[edgy marsh]

I don’t rmemeber anythign from my sat

[short turtle]

Grats on double 800 tho

[queen glade]

i actyally did the SAT in the 8th grade

[quaint rover]

sat seems so unimportant

[queen glade]

and got a 1460

[quaint rover]

when u submit it

[dense nimbus]

Nice Job

[short turtle]

i have a friend who forgot her calc for SAT

[queen glade]

with a 780 in math

[short turtle]

she got into Yale tho so she’s chilling

[edgy marsh]

I did too I got a 1080 💀

[queen glade]

it was cool bc i needed to do it for this JHU program

[quaint rover]

in the entirety of the application

[edgy marsh]

Cty?

[queen glade]

yeah yk SET?

[short turtle]

not CTY

[edgy marsh]

no

[queen glade]

SET is like a sub part

study of exceptional talent

[edgy marsh]

Ohh

[queen glade]

these full forms are so like

arrogant

[edgy marsh]

Ur so talented abhi

[queen glade]

and stupid

i hate them

they make me feel so

precocious

and

weird

like some kid in my school

got called

gifted and talented

[quaint rover]

after 1470+, i dont rlly think sat scores matter, they are just benchmarks

[queen glade]

SAT is a balls game

[edgy marsh]

Tbf getting a 1480 in 8th grade is insane

[queen glade]

test optional is the stupidest thing ever

[quaint rover]

u got 800 twice

iN MATH

[queen glade]

in math yeah because math is my strong suit

[quaint rover]

u are gifted and talented

[dense nimbus]

No dude 1470 is definitely not the point beyond which it matters

[queen glade]

dude i do math for fun

[edgy marsh]

I got 1530 (730/800) my first time and then 1520 (720/800) my second time 💀

[dense nimbus]

1470 and 1600 with same profile applying to like MIT bro very well could make the difference

[quaint rover]

i was being generous for abhi

[queen glade]

yeah

[quaint rover]

but yeah after 1500...

[queen glade]

my math score in the 1460 was a 780

i’d argue SAT isn’t that deep

1500+ u cross the cutoff

1550+ i’d argue your sat implies you are one of the best applicants in standardized testing

[quaint rover]

mine was a 1570 superscore, 1550 without

[queen glade]

no one cares whether you’re a 1590 or a 1560

[edgy marsh]

I think the cutoff for sat is 1590, anything below that and all t20 will reject tbh

[queen glade]

that’s incredibly strong, i wish i was that good at english

[dense nimbus]

I wish

[hollow sky]

no way lmao

[queen glade]

i honestly wish SAT was more important

[quaint rover]

are u being sarcastic?

[dense nimbus]

obviously

bro

LMAO

[quaint rover]

U NEVER KNOW

so hard to tell

[edgy marsh]

But tbh I really don’t think sat is indicative of ur “intelligence” some of my smartest friends didn’t get 1500

[queen glade]

DUDE

intelligence tests are so fun

[edgy marsh]

and one of them got Stanford

[queen glade]

i did the LSAT

and got a 167

which is actually quite cool

considering i didn’t study for it and did it for fun

if the sat

was actyally aptitude based

[quaint rover]

a guy i know got into the freaking uni of cambridge and couldnt cross 1450 on the sat after 4 attempts

[queen glade]

it would be so much cooler

[edgy marsh]

Isn’t LSAT for lawyers

[quaint rover]

OH DAMN, ELLE WOODS

[queen glade]

he

yes

but it has nothing to do with the law

[edgy marsh]

Oh

[queen glade]

it’s an aptitude test

[quaint rover]

harvard law school, what like its hard?

[queen glade]

it tests like

reasoning and pattern recognition

it’s so fun it’s like playing one of those brain teaser games

[vivid viper]

It's certainly not

[quaint rover]

i am afraid of ur genius

[edgy marsh]

a2c just brainwashes people

it’s kind of sad

[queen glade]

my in depth of knowledge of perms allowed for me to expose chutney as the liar she was

[edgy marsh]

it is sad

[queen glade]

dude my brain doesn’t work half the time

[edgy marsh]

the exact thing that contributes to test anxiety and stuff

[queen glade]

there’s nothing here

[vivid viper]

You can literally breathe sat strats for like 4 years and get a 1600 probably, outside your own intellectual merit

[edgy marsh]

exactly

[vivid viper]

Plus test anxiety

[quaint rover]

hahaha i thought no one would get it

[queen glade]

SAT is stupid

but i will say this

[edgy marsh]

And the amount of ppl who pay thousands for sat tutoring

[dense nimbus]

Lol

[quaint rover]

it works when it needs to, and thats all that matters

[queen glade]

if people struggle to do well on SAT, it’s not a reflection of their capability but of the educeitonsl system

some of the shit ppl fail on sat is basic english which schools should be teaching

[queen glade]

you haven’t read my essays under exam conditions

[edgy marsh]

I think it’s more about prep

yeah

u need to study specifically for sat

[queen glade]

of course people would get a legally blonde reference

[quaint rover]

ppl in my school paid like 2000 dollars in total

[vivid viper]

I got like 1490 on practice and 1430ish on real because of anxiety making me make stupid mistakes

I forgot how to input "0" on free response 😭

[dense nimbus]

Not really

[edgy marsh]

Even if you do super good in ap lang and calc and stuff, u may not do good on sat

[queen glade]

that’s so frustrating why do ppl study for sat

i never studied for sat

[dense nimbus]

and ngl

the private tutor thing is so copium

cus just doing the past tests

is 100x better than private tutoring

[queen glade]

the fact that your school’s english program preps u for AP english but not SAT Is DUMBBBBB

bevause Ap lang is USELESS if you don’t know how basic grammar works

[vivid viper]

I never had a private tutor, just khan academy and past tests

[stable current]

my hands got sweaty after reading this omg

[quaint rover]

khan academy supremacy

[dense nimbus]

yes

[vivid viper]

Fr

[dense nimbus]

Khan is more useful

than any private tutor could ever be

By quite a bit

or any book

[queen glade]

i love khan

didn’t he go to stanford

he gives off stanford vibes

[dense nimbus]

No

he went MIT and Harvard

[quaint rover]

he DEF gives MIT vibes

[dense nimbus]

Nevermind

[queen glade]

a part of me despises stanford and the new gen tech startup culture

[dense nimbus]

his harvard degree is honorary

so he went MIT

[queen glade]

but my favorite FAVORITE math teacher went there

[dense nimbus]

did you apply

[quaint rover]

can someone teach me IB Maths HL

[dense nimbus]

pls withdraw at once if so

💀

[quaint rover]

i wanna drop dead

[dense nimbus]

Make it a bit easier for the rest of us

[quaint rover]

death is scary tho

maybe a prolonged sleep

[vivid viper]

Drop alive

Try new things

[queen glade]

light work

AA or AI?

[quaint rover]

AA

[queen glade]

AA is fun i do AA

which chapters

[vivid viper]

Time limit too

Fs

Makes you do stupid things

[quaint rover]

calculus is fun TBH, i can do it, i hate stats and probability cuz i havent begun revision yet

[queen glade]

dude college counselors are the biggest scam of all time

[queen glade]

stats js light work it’s all j GDC

calc is by far the harder unit

along w vectors

practice those two the most

[quaint rover]

vectors is cute

[queen glade]

u have revision village?

[quaint rover]

yeahh

[quaint rover]

nope, not the paid version

[vivid viper]

Stats is boring asf rn

I love calc though

[quaint rover]

same

[queen glade]

wait it’s leaked online

the study addresses everything, including test prep etc,

[floral siren]

The way the avg sat at my school is like a 900😭

[dense nimbus]

💀

[floral siren]

Maybe it’s best to not go to a feeder😍

[sly fossil]

idk man i never had to strategise

[dense nimbus]

same

[sly fossil]

besides most large studies show a good correlation with college GPA, it was a good counteract to GPA inflation at (largely private) high schools

I'm not sure it's the best standardised test possible i do agree

[dense nimbus]

the reality is that

despite all of its imperfections

[sly fossil]

the fact that 1500-1600 is like a few questions

[dense nimbus]

it is still highly correlated with intelligence

[sly fossil]

is stupid

[dense nimbus]

and

intelligence is highly correlated with college success

[dark goblet]

test anxiety is very real and performance in an anxious state doesn’t define how smart you are.

I do agree that for most though, standardized testing is a great measure of intelligence

[dense nimbus]

the study speaks for itself

a large majority of the time

it is very highly correlated

also, test anxiety may be a reason that it sometimes doesnt properly assess someone's intelligence

but test anxiety will still be a problem for those same people in college, a place where you take tests

so as far as an admissions exam goes that doesn't really matter IMO

[nimble coyote]

my brain so big it's a landmark on google maps

[dense nimbus]

Good job

[dark goblet]

As someone with extreme test anxiety, I am fine with normal tests but when a lot of weight is placed on something like the ACT or SAT, it does not matter how well prepared or smart I am. I will have a giant panic attack. Though, I still scored well enough to get into a nice school but I know it’s worse for others.

[dense nimbus]

oh, this also addresses the socioeconomic factor, too.

although really

that was a given once it addressed tutoring

cus obviously having more money doesnt inherently make you smarter

[nimble coyote]

my brain so big I had to file it under assets on the css profile

[dense nimbus]

yeah ok true

but that's extremely rare

and also if ur like

genuinely stupid even if its cus of malnutrition

it still means ur not gonna keep up in a college environment anyways

[spring shell]

Exactly how you gonna do finals/midterms that determine the majority of your grade if you can’t handle a single (pretty basic) test in high school

[dark goblet]

yeah there r fee waivers for the ACT that most schools provide to allow one free test.

Definitely

because then you take it and know where to improve the second time.

[dark goblet]

test anxiety can be worked on and overcome if you really work towards it, which eliminates any real excuse towards a bad score other than incapability or laziness

[sly fossil]

there is a well-acknowledged correlation between IQ and wealth

[dense nimbus]

Yes

[sly fossil]

better nutrition, plus the fact IQ is somewhat hereditary

[dense nimbus]

which goes straight to higher SAT scores as well

[sly fossil]

the extent to which is debated but either way it's a good portion

[edgy marsh]

Controversial topic but do you guys think math is red or blue

Personally I think blue

[cobalt jacinth]

Blue for sure

[dense nimbus]

Yes

exactly

[dark goblet]

Math is green

[edgy marsh]

I feel like it’s blue if u like math and red if u like English more

[dense nimbus]

this is such a large part of the socioeconomic correlation

with SAT score

[sly fossil]

yes that is what i am saying

[cobalt jacinth]

Science is green

[edgy marsh]

Ur just weird

[edgy marsh]

Yep

History yellow

English red

[nimble coyote]

what is obama's last name

[dark goblet]

science is yellow because yellow is my favorite color ❤️

[edgy marsh]

Brock

[dark goblet]

brock obamanda

[nimble coyote]

obama bin laden

[dark goblet]

did u apply to Yale

[nimble coyote]

I asked yale to ask me to apply

they refused

probably scared of my big brain

[dark goblet]

So basically you gave THEM a likely letter and they couldn’t handle the heat

[nimble coyote]

yaLe

[cobalt jacinth]

We are the same.

[sly fossil]

which one is ur brain

[dark goblet]

This I agree with

English is red

[cobalt jacinth]

Also I had like an intense dream that I got into Yale a couple days ago

Please let me in

And my friends threw a party

With Yale merch

Please say I was predicting the future mr and Mrs Yale admission officers

[nimble coyote]

i am the one asking questions here

[short turtle]

plwaseeee Yale let me in

[remote flame]

BRO FR YALE PLS

[vivid viper]

Mines around the same

[charred cedar]

anyone deferred no interview

[trail arch]

[glad dagger]

Yale I have enough one sided relationships please love me back 💙

[floral siren]

It’s always so crazy to think about like some other schools are sitting on 1500 avgs

[vivid viper]

fr

those crazy bay area schools

like wtf

"wdym your school average is a 1460"

[floral siren]

Ny is filled with them too. Ig we have the benefit of a worse context tho😭

[dense nimbus]

Yeah lol

I would not get in if myt school wasnt so bad

[floral siren]

The benefit of no competition lol

[little jetty]

Me

I go to one of those schools

The average is a fucking 1470

😭

[frosty jay]

Same

[floral siren]

Specialized or the Private Elite ones

[little jetty]

The former

[tiny crest]

yale is cool

[lost gorge]

Yale is cool

[floral siren]

But only Columbia is the best school ever!!!

[glad dagger]

Colombia*

[crystal iron]

@tired hedge

[robust bear]

COLOMBIA IS THE BEST SCHOOL EVER
colombia kids are kind and clever

[tiny crest]

it also has a drug cartel

[dense nimbus]

More than just one I'm sure

[tiny crest]

i hope to get admitted!

[tight hull]

ONE WEEK

https://tenor.com/view/ree-pepe-triggered-angry-ahhhh-gif-13627544

[sweet shell]

same

[chrome oak]

Hi guys

[sweet shell]

hey

[lost gorge]

yale let me in!

ily 😍🥰

[frosty jay]

Yale is the best school ever

Yale kids are kind and clever

[tiny crest]

yale is nice

[nimble coyote]

I am planning to have a baby and naming it Yale to show demonstrated interest

and in case I don't get in that baby is getting bullied

[tight hull]

the hamster got pregnant?

[nimble coyote]

no, I did

[rugged crow]

[tight hull]

[tight hull]

typical charchit#4275 convo

[rugged crow]

Lol

[willow flame]

yes!

hear me out

if they don't interview auto-rejects and auto-admits

& we weren't rejected when they had the chance to reject us

it means we should prepare for new haven ct

[short turtle]

Yeah,,

[short turtle]

nuh uh just means they have “enough information in our application to act on it”

[willow flame]

no we are in

[short turtle]

manifesting

hoping praying

[willow flame]

[tame rapids]

why do we not have a yale bulldog emoji

[frosty jay]

How many people get interviews?

Like what percent

Cause when they say that they’re “on the edge”, does that actually mean much

I mean my interview went pretty well but idk if it would push me over the edge

[tame rapids]

a) some undercover AO might blow up their cover answering that
b) only an undercover AO can acc be answering that with any credibility

[frosty jay]

💀

[dense nimbus]

well

idk who is saying on the edge

but thats almost certainly better than most applicants

[short turtle]

I think for Yale

It’s helpful to think in terms of information probiddd

**provided

Did you show curiosity in the school during your interview? Did it clarify the points they wanted more information about?

[frosty jay]

How tf do I know what they wanted more information about 💀

But I showed a lot of interest at least

Plus the interviewer was really nice and we had rapport

Cause she was from the area I live in and knew my school

[short turtle]

There’s no way to know 😭😭😭

Which was low key my point

It’s probably a personal qualities assessment tho, unless there were any really pointed questions you were asked

so maybe your recs didn’t line up

[frosty jay]

💀

[rugged crow]

What's happened has already happened so, just sit back and relax!!

[tame rapids]

I'm too jobless

[hasty canopy]

😭😭

[granite stratus]

[tame rapids]

[rugged crow]

[glad dagger]

I think I have a different circumstance tho

[kindred zodiac]

https://tenor.com/view/chill-zen-buddha-omm-spongebob-squarepants-gif-16137769

[quaint rover]

I hope last years glitch happens again

[blissful pivot]

glitch?

[kindred zodiac]

what's that?

[grand silo]

which glitch?

[crystal iron]

it is so arbitrary that its impossible to like determine really

ao's just say and do whatever they want😭

[tight hull]

30 min before decisions admitted students could see a form to register for Bulldogs Days

[grand silo]

Oh that

Do we know if it happened in this year's REA?

[tight hull]

idts

[grand silo]

Hmm

then it prob won't

Ik it happened in 2021 and 2022. Seen reac'n vids

[tight hull]

in 2021?

damn

[grand silo]

Yep

wait. Lemme check to be sure

[fervent grail]

Yallaho

[willow flame]

there was smthng going on with the withdraw or email admissions question button if I remember correctly

but nothing certain

[grand silo]

If u see carefully, there is a banner down below... which should say "1 or more forms to fill"

so if u have that form, congrats ig. Sort of a glitch rather than astro

[rugged crow]

I'm gonna be sleeping during the decision release so if I do not wake up to a second email(other rhan status update) I'll prolly not even open the portal!!

[tame rapids]

what time would it be for us btw

there's an actual command for that whats wrong with me

[rugged crow]

4:30am

[rugged crow]

Lol

[tame rapids]

[rugged crow]

I'm not gonna check until 7:00am atleast(even though I wake up at 5am)

[tame rapids]

i wake up at 5:30 but it takes me 2 hours to just contemplate where i am so i'll see it around 7 30 ig

[rugged crow]

Ohh lol... I just don't look at my phone first thing in the morning and prefer to look at inorganic chem

Just spending more time with it

[tame rapids]

i do organic lol

[rugged crow]

Org is a lost cause for me and I've given up

I'll do it by Adv

Hopefully

😶‍🌫️

[tame rapids]

idk why but i hate it when i forget anything from organic, yesterday i was solving some integrals in a test and for some reason my brain was stuck bc i couldnt remeber what thorpenitrile condensation was

like it wasnt even on the test idk why i was fixated over it

(ofc i still dont know what it is)

[rugged crow]

WTF is that even

Never herd of it

Or maybe forgot

[tame rapids]

you've prolly seen the rxn, just not by name

[rugged crow]

Aldol is the best!!

[rugged crow]

Hmm maybe

[tame rapids]

idk why i messed up that aldol question in boards

i saw aldol i was like yep

and the sencond option was cross aldol

[rugged crow]

What that shit is my fav(cause it is the thing I remember and understand)

[rugged crow]

Why would they do that

[tame rapids]

which we were supposed to mark had i kept the patience to acc read

[rugged crow]

Wait like an MCQ?

[tame rapids]

still better than jee mains drawing the intersection of axes and naming it 2,2 instead of origin

[rugged crow]

I thought it was long answer thing

[rugged crow]

💀

[tame rapids]

yeah, it was an aldol b/w 2 diff molecules
options were
a) aldol (which i read, instantly marked and moved on)
b) .....
c) cross aldol
d) .....

ofc i didnt read cross aldol and marked aldol

[rugged crow]

Ahh I get it... Used to happen to me in class 10/11

[tame rapids]

altho in my defense i was trying to complete 18 questions in 4 mins cuz ....idk why

[rugged crow]

Ig you have an apt username... Idk_man

[tame rapids]

it was more like the time when you're walking down the road and suddenly think " if i dont reach that tree before that car does imma die"

[tame rapids]

[rugged crow]

Yeah ik 🤣

[nimble coyote]

🤓

[nimble coyote]

my face reveal

[steel stag]

[sly fossil]

i should make a day in the life

• wake up at 11-12
• snort some modafinil
• bang out some work & watch lectures i inevitably skipped
• cop lunch and continue the grind
• dinner
• depends on day - either some EC or grind or chill with random people
• get back to suite and get drunk from 11 onwards and play smash / go out
• sleep at some point

this is semi true you can interpret it how you want

[sly fossil]

imagine having not face revealed like 13 times in this server

[sweet shell]

what do yall slate say

disclaimer: slate is not important but i wanna see anyways

[steel imp]

bro whats slate

i dont got that 😭

[sweet shell]

slate.org

u can see where the AOs are in reviewing ur app

not all colleges use it tho

[spring shell]

What does yours say

[jovial tinsel]

🤔

Only some colleges show up on slate

[sweet shell]

same

[jovial tinsel]

not expecting too much tbh, thought that essays are ok, no interview intl but i dont know a single person in Canada got yale int

🗿

[hollow kite]

Is it like… idk dodgy to use?

[sweet shell]

nah but I dont support slate since it doesnt tell u much

[dense nimbus]

No but its hard to draw conclusions from it

[hollow kite]

Oh okay

So it’s more of just like

Seeing where the AOs are at with the application

[sweet shell]

yes

[dense nimbus]

yes but they dont necessarily update it instantly etc,

[hollow kite]

okay

thankyou!

[sweet shell]

and they dont even update it always

sometimes they update it then slate sometimes updates it

[hollow sky]

nah u need to watch the bad experiences

[hollow kite]

Omggg this is so crazy

Actually terrifying

[dense nimbus]

Ye so there is a decision associated with ur name u can't tell what it is though

At Colorado and usc I mean

[cosmic cedar]

i think the dates on slate r useless
