empty current

hushed valley

or like the email
hushed valley
that’s literally commitment day basically

empty current
what’d he say 😭
hushed valley
he said "thanks for reaching out and I can understand how this can be nerve wracking. I am asking you to bear us with"
makes me feel like I said smth wrong 🥹
empty current
they’re gonna let students know if they’ve been rejected too tho right 
hushed valley

If I remember correctly towers A & B are the mid ones and the other dorm is good
main blade

hushed valley

empty current
im kinda in love with another school so no biggie if no kessler
but i would no doubt ditch that school for a full ride i think 😭
abstract bloom
also pitt has been emailimg me to do verification?? and it all went to my spam? i think they were considering me for kesslers but i cancelled my app a while ago
hushed valley
idt pitt has ever emailed me in a bit ngl
empty current
well judging by your nick it seems you didn’t need them anyways 
abstract bloom
like they sent me a priority email today and i barely found them all
abstract bloom
well judging by your nick it seems you didn’t need them anyways <a:catyes:874013...
💪 yup
empty current
oh my god pitt emails me several times a day with “There are new discussions in Panther Link!”
shut up shut up! i shouldn’t hVe signed up for that
empty current
good 😭 it’s useless only provides email spam
actually i won’t lie i’ve barely explored it but from what i’ve seen barely any actual admitted students talk there
i just took the pitt virtual toor actually 😇 gave it a 7.5/10
hushed valley
yeah that makes sense ngl
i dont see people actively spending time rn at least on like panther link
empty current
i didn’t realize it was so in the city?? like not nyu level obviously but it’s pretty urban
not as separate as i thought it was
hushed valley
ya it's so close to downtown pittsburgh i likey 👍
empty current
yeah it’s cool! i just fear i’d be run over perhaps… too many streets everywhere
hushed valley
oh dangerous urban driving im used to that lol
philly's gotta be even worse than pittsburgh there's no way
empty current
i’ll be honest i’m not giving pitt a fair review probably just cause i’m so in love with syracuse at the moment
cathy is pretty 😇
empty current
im still waiting for mine 😭 if it’s shit i may be pitt bound
empty current
sad bout my aid 😔
ooo wait can i ask a huge favor? do you think you could run the syracuse net price calculator for me and lmk if the aid they gave you was true to the calculator? 😭
i can link the calc
hushed valley
im stressing hoping my calculator results will be accurate
hmm this is weird, they did not give me a syracuse grant as high as that
empty current
hmm this is weird, they did not give me a syracuse grant as high as that
NOOO so it could be overestimating my aid too 💔
hushed valley
yours could prob still be high, it's still a good amount that they gave me
but not enough to beat other unis unfortunately
so for me, i had to resubmit my noncustodial parent thing, fafsa, and tax forms; unsure if any changes in this affected anything
empty current
thank you for doing it!! i’m trying not to trust fall into finaid arms but i’ve already fallen in love with cuse 😭
empty current
so for me, i had to resubmit my noncustodial parent thing, fafsa, and tax forms;...
yeah they had me submit a bunch of stuff too unfortunately
hushed valley
u think anyone else in syracuse thread could also run thru the calc for u
empty current
pitt is my cheapest option rn 🤞
hushed valley
yeah they had me submit a bunch of stuff too unfortunately
bro i thought they processed all my stuff it was so weird i was like i alr submitted all of that a while ago
on the buggy ass site too lol
empty current
u think anyone else in syracuse thread could also run thru the calc for u
i asked but no replies 💔 just one person who said the npc said they’d get no need based aid and they didn’t get any lmao
empty current
on the buggy ass site too lol
YEAH MYSLICE 😭
myslice was hell on earth for me for like. months
empty current
the cute name doesn’t reflect it properly 💔
hushed valley
should i appeal syracuse lol
comparing the npc to my offer
cuse is actually lower than pitt using this calculator wtf
empty current
cuse is actually lower than pitt using this calculator wtf
yeah that’s what mine says too 😭
and it’s crazy cause pitt is only seeing my moms income (which is 0) and cuse sees my dads income too which is not 0
empty current
should i appeal syracuse lol
if you genuinely think you’d go to syracuse over pitt you should!! id just specify exactly how low you’d need it to be to accept the offer
i might have to appeal as well
hushed valley
if you genuinely think you’d go to syracuse over pitt you should!! id just speci...
honestly they're both like ughhhh idk which one atm 😔
i would love either one
fuck it tho we ball, i got an appeal letter drafted for this ✌️
empty current
i would love either one
you should probably try then! i only think it’s unfair when people appeal schools that aren’t even in their top choices like they just make it harder for the people who seriously need/want their appeal accepted
hushed valley

wait people do this

fuck it tho we ball, i got an appeal letter drafted for this ✌️

wait people do this
i think so… it’s shitty ☹️
hushed valley
someone in the cuse thread i think called finaid and they gave her a link to app...
bet ill hit em up tomorrow god bless me 🙏
im so used to calling these offices
each office's unique music is so funny ngl lmao
empty current
oh i’ve genuinely called the cuse finaid office probably 15 times now
i think i have their little intro speech memorized by now
empty current
they’re so sick of me 😭
their fault for making their finaid so confusing tho smh
pitt aid was easy peasy thank god for no CSS
empty current
but it was so easy
fr 🤞 the thought of having to reapply for cuse aid every year makes me shiver…
lmk how your appeal goes!!!
hushed valley
lmk how your appeal goes!!!
gotchu, ✊ im praying

@empty current @hushed valley if it matters for pitt kesslers, my friend was committed for a while

🤷♂️
empty current
okay then im not sure i would bother appealing
main blade
I got aid offers from my other schools
main blade
okay then im not sure i would bother appealing
I can try comparing other oos offers
empty current
since pitt is rolling their finaid gets worse the later you apply since their funds start running out
afaik
empty current
I can try comparing other oos offers
i mean yeah you can try
i just probably wouldn’t hold out much hope
hushed valley
when I last called (week ago) they told me they had no more aid to give me personally, I'm not sure if it means any left for all or just my slice of the cake
main blade

Did they alr give you some?
hushed valley
yeah they gave me a lot, it was when I went to appeal
main blade
Also how long would it take or get in state tuition for Pitt if I try getting Pennsylvania residency
hushed valley
prob a year
main blade
Cuz if I get that Pitt is cheaper than my state school overall
hushed valley
I'll have to relook the terms
because if I got revoked residency easily it's prob just as easy to get it
NJ state uni lol
so expensive 
hushed valley
while I was looking into Pitt, apparently they got a new chancellor
hushed valley

a real life palpatine would be insanee

He’d get charged with a lot of crimes first off
Multiple murders
Attempted treason
And then crimes with more political terminology
But then again he could get away with it if he ruled the gov 💀
hushed valley
And then crimes with more political terminology
prob the whole dictionary of criminal terminologies
palpatine would just easily execute the ones going against him

ooo imo i hate people who easily dismiss the prequels
while the tech they used is def dated and some things can be iffy, it's p good
and honestly prob better than disney's recent efforts
main blade
while the tech they used is def dated and some things can be iffy, it's p good
Well for the first 2 yes but the last one is just perfection
Why revenge of the sith brings together the prequels and the sequels couldnt was that they all led to 1 cohesive story
hushed valley
i kinda liked the first one, but hated the 2nd and lovedthe third
hushed valley
oh nah im talkin bout the animated series mb

Top reasons to work during college: buying large lego Star Wars sets

Kinda wanna ask my parents for a large set (100-200$) before going to college
hushed valley
graduation gift maybe?
hushed valley
yeah very expensive esp if u do like the price per piece
that's also if u even want the ones that aren't discontinued
main blade
that's also if u even want the ones that aren't discontinued
The ones that are gone are gone. Trying to get them would cost 💀
I’d rather pay off my college tuition for a year than buy that

my cousin has the slave I

And importantly 200$ cheaper

def cheaper but star wars cooler

so far! it's only april
i'm sorry to anyone committing to pitt that u have to live in pittsburgh it kinda sucks here
source: me
the weather is not good tbh
city isn't that bad maybe i'm just sick of it lol
i hope for yalls sake that pitt dorms have good ac idk
pastel wing
im assuming ur from pittsburgh
and once thing ive observed
is that if you are from a place, you are much more likely to love or hate the place
for me, coming from san jose bay area, pitt seems so much nicer and the weather seems nice. not as bland as bay area. the city and rivers is also really cool and its pretty close to lots of other big cities, only 3-4 hour drives.
wispy pilot
so far! it's only april
generally whats the hottest it gets?
for me atm rn its like 102 degrees everyday and it has to be colder than that right?
hot citrus
it gets to 90 a couple times a year in the late summer so you probably wouldn’t be there for that
upper 80s during the school year probably in like september or may
it’s really humid though and it rains a lot in every season
hushed valley
that's p normal for a lot of cities ye

this is the bottom of schenley park by panther hollow lake so pretty close, as the crow flies like half a mile
frick park is farther but has better trails i know how to get there from campus on the bus if u want
i use the bus a lot and a lot of them go through pitt so
main blade
So theoretically
I can just run there every morning on foot and back
That’d be a mile
Of running

our buses are fine i guess they smell bad though wear a mask for ur own mental health i can’t believe i used to tolerate the smell pre covid :/

altho philly food bangs
gotta try out food from pittsburgh to see
hot citrus
it’s not that good i’m sorry
primantis is not that good

they are over hyped
eatn park is dennys but more fun (smiley cookie)
i recommend
for the cookie
hushed valley
i feel like i'd avoid the chain restaurants
hot citrus
oh mineos isn’t a chain it’s just overhyped bad pizza
hot citrus
the best pizza in pittsburgh imo is ardolinos but it’s in upper st clair and you can’t get to it without a car the road it’s on doesn’t even have sidewalks lol
i like new dumpling house also if you don’t go to waffallonia you’re missing out on everything good in life i will not stop hyping it
there used to be one in the plaza but i think it’s gone the main one is in squirrel hill i think it’s p easy to get to
hot citrus
we don’t have a chinatown it’s one building but i’ve heard the restaurant in it is really good i’ve never been because i avoid downtown at all costs
downtown kinda sucks i only go there because i have to
the asian food here is fine not that life changing though
trams in lawrenceville has godly fresh spring rolls though holy shit nothing i have ever had compares i swear that mans doing magic in there him and his one hand
i am a tram’s appreciator
hot citrus
there’s something in them that’s just chefs kiss and the sauce is ✨✨✨
hot citrus
yeah there are a few
there are two in squirrel hill those are probably easiest to get to from campus since it’s a quick bus
also some in bloomfield and lawrenceville but idk how to get there

i think tram’s also has pho in addition to the spring rolls of the gods
never getting over them
