Brown University (2023-2024)

[mystic meteor]

maybe im just looking for smth to get angry at fr

[hidden heart]

tip: convince yourself that you have been rejected already and then not think about it until like the 5 minutes you open the letter

much easier on yourself

it also makes the elevation when you get in a lot higher

[sly yacht]

I dont anything can stop the pain from rejection lol

[hidden heart]

no, but it will help with the cope

[vestal lava]

only solution is to get in then

[mystic meteor]

i can't stop thinking about it

😭

it's like ur about to be executed in 4 hours and it's like there's nothing you can do so it's whatever but you're going to think about it anyway because it's really big

do u know what i mean.

[hidden heart]

It's 7 days not 4 hours!

[mystic meteor]

smth like that tho

😭😭

[hidden heart]

don’t take it too much as a potential affect to your character— that’s how it causes a lot of pain tbh

just remember that you’re awesome and if you don’t get in that doesn’t change anything except opens up more possibilities

[mystic meteor]

wait what are these birbs at brown

they're so cute

[hidden heart]

oh yeah

everyone just went into a frenzy like 3 minutes ago because of birbs

some people make them and place them around campus for people to find

[mystic meteor]

waugh

they're so fluffy

[stiff nexus]

yall

so i forgot css profile was a thing

and i saw the website that it was due nov 1

wait idk if i shouldve asked that somewhere else but

the brown's website for css profile ed deadline is nov 1st too

i got caught up in schoolwork so i kinda forgot abt it 😭 is my like application not complete anymore? (i literally have everything else done all checked but the financial stuff)

im like panicking doing it rn bahaha

[iron sandal]

definitely complete it asap, and I’m not sure if they use financial stuff to make their decisions…

if they don’t and you get accepted, they probably can’t give you an aid package until later

if they do, I don’t think it’s a guaranteed rejection as if they truly are interested in you but just can’t accept bc of financial stuff missing, they’ll probably defer

I could be wrong though so uhhh😭

[stiff nexus]

omg im freaking out help

😭

lmaoo

[iron sandal]

ik this might mean nothing to you as you’ve put in a lot of hard work to get the app in, but what’s done is done so just try to get it in asap and just hope for the best man🫠

[stiff nexus]

yeah, i will...thank you 😭

ill try to be more attentive at the deadlines

i was just caught up in sm work lordd

[floral fern]

I did the exact same thing and only realized a week ago

When I emailed them they said the Nov 1st deadline is soft for the financial aid docs so I think its separate from the admissions process?

[stiff nexus]

Ohh okayy

Thank uuu

Cured my reassurance 😭

[floral fern]

No worries I was freaking out too😭

[dark locust]

Wait

Does Brown have a video portfolio for RD?

[umbral hinge]

yes

[dark locust]

wait really

where do you submit it?

I don't see it in the Common App

[mystic meteor]

it's in the portal

[vestal lava]

might as well do it late and try sending it in rather than never sending it in

sometimes you can submit financial aid docs after acceptance as well (if you get in)... you'll just get your aid package later than everyone else

well, at least i could for my college but i doubt brown is much different

[radiant spruce]

Idk you all but reading my brow supplements is giving joy, maybe I'm just being delulu 💀💀

[hidden heart]

copium

[mystic meteor]

gotta stamp out the hope

it's creeping back in

[stiff nexus]

SAME LMAOO

[rich mist]

the bot gave me 91% chance for brown & 0% for mit 💀

[mystic meteor]

WIN

[rich mist]

delusion

[dapper mango]

im just hoping i get deferred instead of rejected atp

[mystic meteor]

same

it's like

i would like to get accepted ofc

but it's like hoping for acceptance letter is like hoping to win lottery

vs hoping for deferral is like hoping to find 50 dollar bill on ground tmrw

both are unlikely

both are good

one is a lot more unlikely than the other to the point wher eit's not really worth hoping for it that much

💀

[rich mist]

what % of brown applicants r deferred

[crisp pagoda]

bro my cumulatives start on the 15th 💀

[mystic meteor]

prob around the mark of like 15-20%

[mystic meteor]

oh no bro

it's over

[crisp pagoda]

ikr

[mystic meteor]

ermmm u have 2.5 days to recover mental state

[crisp pagoda]

this is so ass

[mystic meteor]

[rich mist]

damn 💀

[crisp pagoda]

me turning in my history cumulative while fretting about my decision <3

[rich mist]

at least i go on break afterward..

[crisp pagoda]

man i just really don't want to get deferred. like i don't need that false hope

[mystic meteor]

i want to get deferred

i need this shit 💀

it's unironically my dream

so if i get deferred it's like my dream gets to live a little longer

[crisp pagoda]

ok for me it's mostly like

if i get in i'm going to apply to risd

if i get deferred than it's like

[mystic meteor]

the rizzed program.

[crisp pagoda]

extra work that i don't even know if i'll have half a chance at ya know

[brazen ferry]

Guys I'm ngl I don't feel like doing browns essays and video portfolio. Someone please tell me why brown is good I need motivation 😭

[crisp pagoda]

(not that i have a chance for this program anyways 💀 )

[brazen ferry]

Other ppl are telling me to take it off my list as well

[crisp pagoda]

brown is actually so much more work this year than last i have no idea what the ao's were thinking t-t

but uh

red bricks (unironically i love them so much)

open curriculum

[mystic meteor]

the thing about brown is that it's uniquely supportive and chill
the ppl, culture, and systems there encourage curiosity like nowhere else does; the open curriculum, satisfactory/no credit, study abroad, etc. are all for students to truly chase what interests them with abandon

[rich mist]

• academic freedom w open curriculum
• chill / collaborative environment compared to other schools
• undergrad focus
• (for me) good applied math program

[brazen ferry]

They want ppl who genuinely want them

[crisp pagoda]

i can't even remember what i wrote in my why us essay

[mystic meteor]

there's 0 worry of bastards being cutthroat and stuff; the best way i can put it is a story a tour guide told me

she was taking organic chem

got her first exam back

[rich mist]

also i feel like i would grow a lot as a person here

[mystic meteor]

had a massive fucking breakdown in the front of the class

[crisp pagoda]

actually that's a good point. maybe counteracting their rapidly growing applicant pool?

[mystic meteor]

and the immediate reaction from her classmates was to comfort her and invite her to study groups

🙂

personally, i don't like who i am

i'm jealous, spiteful, etc.

i think by going to brown i can grow

[rich mist]

me too lmfao 😭 (average a2c enjoyer)

[brazen ferry]

I'm ngl I don't think brown would like me I might not be the best fit. I want to love the school but Unpopular opinion: I really like structure and concreteness which is why I like Columbia's core

[crisp pagoda]

bro i need to like brown less rn temper my expectations

[mystic meteor]

WHAT DA HEEEELLLLL CORE

no yeah structure is great for a lot of ppl

[brazen ferry]

I'm weird

[mystic meteor]

nah that's very reasonable

[brazen ferry]

I've started to come out of the prestige zone

Looking for good fit now

[crisp pagoda]

this is exactly why i didn't apply to columbia haha

[mystic meteor]

i would say though that the open curriculum and flexibility doesn't mean that you can't take a solid base of classes

[rich mist]

understandable

[mystic meteor]

it doesn't bar you from signing up for a range of classes

[rich mist]

i think i might take penn & northwestern off my list due to fit

[brazen ferry]

Yea I'm still gonna leave brown on my list for now but I think yall are gonna get in!!!

[mystic meteor]

in fact it might even encourage that even more considering that you can just satisfactory/no credit certain courses that you want to try but aren't sure if you can get a good grade in

i am not about to get in

[brazen ferry]

Idk if ima get to it tho

[mystic meteor]

💀

[brazen ferry]

7 supp + video is brutal

😭

[crisp pagoda]

it really really is sob

[rich mist]

there was a period of time where i was genuinely delusional that i was gonna get accepted and i had a whole crisis abt that 💀

[brazen ferry]

Me with wharton in soph year

[crisp pagoda]

i have way too much false hope

[iron sandal]

lowkey wasn’t that bad

[brazen ferry]

I really thought my ass was getting into an icy

Ivy

[iron sandal]

did it in a week or so

[brazen ferry]

[mystic meteor]

i unironically cannot stop thinking about it

it's like

[brazen ferry]

I have 6 ivies left to apply to and 9 total schools

[mystic meteor]

between now and friday

unless some actual catastrophe happens like my older sister dying

idfc

i could bomb 94 tests

and we're chilling i just need to see friday

[noble scarab]

would rather do the brown app again than princeton and yale tho 💀

[iron sandal]

ivies are easy supplemental-wise

[noble scarab]

and one of harvard's questions genuienly stumped me

[rich mist]

yale was fine... princeton.. no 💀

[mystic meteor]

i could get hit by a truck and have my ribcage shattered and deadass if i'm alive enough to see the results on friday it's all good

[noble scarab]

i agree there is a lot of overlap between ivies

[mystic meteor]

💀

[crisp pagoda]

i unironically spent like, 2 months 💀

[brazen ferry]

The video tho? 😭

[mystic meteor]

i can't write the "why [x school]" essays other than for brown

[iron sandal]

get one done, and the rest all use similar questions

except silly Cornell

[brazen ferry]

No one gets in without it

[mystic meteor]

i legitimately don't know why i would ever go to another school over brown

😂👌

[iron sandal]

650 prompt💀

[noble scarab]

my friend who got matched to princeton wasnt confident at all and was always looking back at her essays feeling regret, so that does motivate me. you truly dont need perfect essays yall as long as the content is clear enough

[mystic meteor]

and i can't write the "why brown" because why would i ever not choose brown

😂👌

[noble scarab]

I HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME ON IT NGL

[iron sandal]

well I had less than a month to begin with bc I did the questbridge match😭

[noble scarab]

and unironically one of my fav college essays ive written

[rich mist]

i wrote a draft for the 650 essay and then hated it 😭

[iron sandal]

ITS THE ONLY REASON IM NOT APPLYING😭😭😭

[dapper mango]

SAME

[rich mist]

princeton is one of the only schools i havent finalized essays for 💀

[vestal lava]

Not true but I would suppose most admits sent video

[iron sandal]

not gonna catch me writing a whole other college essay not me never

[dapper mango]

my cornell supp makes me feel so confident

[noble scarab]

I HATED IT AT FIRST BUT BY WORD 200 I WAS GOING SO CRAZY

[brazen ferry]

Most normal kids probably do a video. I've heard of feeder kids getting in without them tho

[noble scarab]

RIGHT

LIKE IM GIVING THEM LITERALLY EVERYTHING EVER

[mystic meteor]

wait wot feeders

[noble scarab]

THERE IS NOTHING MORE I HAVE TO GIVE CORNELL

[mystic meteor]

FEEDING IN LEAGUE OF LEGENDS?

[dapper mango]

feeder/legacy kids are a special case

[iron sandal]

is it not just a 650 word why us essay? like I struggle with the 250 word ones💀

[dapper mango]

yeah its why us + why major combined

[iron sandal]

eh

too lazy

😭

[dapper mango]

im lucky tho cuz i applied to ilr and ilr only has one major so it was easier to write

[iron sandal]

also really random but the 31/55 doesn’t mean colleges you’ve applied to compared to how many you will rightttt?

😦

[rich mist]

i think its essays

[dapper mango]

it does 😅

[iron sandal]

OH

[rich mist]

oh

😭

[iron sandal]

WHAT

[rich mist]

i had an essay counter over thanksgiving break which is why i was thinking of that

[noble scarab]

i treated it as that but also a why me, like i was just making myself seem so cool and shit 💀

[mystic meteor]

my parents are trolling me

i've written maybe like 10 essays

[dapper mango]

poor nyc kid needing aid what can i say

[mystic meteor]

but they said "what if you did US news"

and i said "no"

and they said "yes"

[iron sandal]

but also like upstate New York is yucky why would you wanna go

[noble scarab]

um uh erm

idk

[mystic meteor]

you may now guess who won the battle

💀

im not going to submit all that

my parents can go cope

maximum im doing like 11 of these

[noble scarab]

i looked at that shit and thought it was my list for a second LMFAO

[mystic meteor]

💀

[rich mist]

me too 💀

[dapper mango]

my common app is like 60% safeties and the rest are targets + harvard and cornell

[mystic meteor]

based

[dapper mango]

but all my reaches are on qb

[mystic meteor]

o

help im about to spend money on league again

my dumb fucking ass

[noble scarab]

bookmarked on my google

isnt this satisfying

[mystic meteor]

💀

[dapper mango]

cuz qb has no limits so theoretically i can apply to all 50 but like 5 are womens colleges and 3-4 require commonapp for rd so i only did like 41-42

[mystic meteor]

mi fan da xue

[rich mist]

have you applied to all of those already?

[mystic meteor]

💀

insane

[noble scarab]

i had to apply to 11 by september 30th for a questbridge-like program im in

so i had to start in like july which was AWFUL

[dapper mango]

6 of them have no supps so im fine

[noble scarab]

then the other 9 i chipped away at and finalized like 2 weeks ago

i was on the grind

[rich mist]

damn i started in late august 😭

long grind

[noble scarab]

it sucked but also its so relieving

a few schools i jumped the gun but overall theres nothing i would change abt what i submitted

so now im applying to scholarships and focusing on my grades then i will chill

[rich mist]

nice

[mystic meteor]

im ngl

i have next to none of my RDs done

[noble scarab]

ive had like moments of considering to apply to more schools bc i have the time but

[dapper mango]

posse?

[noble scarab]

nah

[mystic meteor]

brown has to clutch up or im fucked

LOL

[rich mist]

rn i have a lot of rd apps on hold bc of app fees and ED delusions

[noble scarab]

chicago scholars

it gave me interviews

[dapper mango]

oh nice

[noble scarab]

so i got 9 interviews

which was fucking awesome

like interviews with AOs

• still being able to get alum interviews if those are offered to me

[dapper mango]

nice nice

ik a chicago scholar who got into stanford

my school had a posse match to smith last yr and one to connecticut college this yr
we had a brown and upenn match for qb last yr and a upenn match this yr

[noble scarab]

thats dope

stanford isnt a college partner with chicago scholars

so he mustve gotten it without it

[dapper mango]

yh he was also a qb finalist

[eternal heart]

praying for reject or accept not a defer

[iron sandal]

Why

Reject? And not defer???💀

[noble scarab]

im praying for a defer to uchicago💀

let me feel like i was worthy

[eternal heart]

yes reject me so i can move on

im prob gon apply ed2 to somewhere anyways and i dont want fomo of RD if i get accepted 💀

[mystic meteor]

I'm sure we can come to mutually agreeable terms.

[vestal lava]

these mfs should be in jail

[little snow]

wild how shit the daily schedule is

[vestal lava]

i get it now

you applied to brown due to the unlimited weed supplt

[mystic meteor]

something like that

[vestal lava]

and you will use that to make your days longer

so you can do more math

goated strategty

my man

[mystic meteor]

it's true

they haven't caught on about the weed stratagem

[vestal lava]

🤝

[mystic meteor]

🤝

[vestal lava]

mutual agreements have been reached

[mystic meteor]

isaac newton shitting his pants past the grave as he realizes the Weedmongerer™️ is going to surpass all of his achievements by having a 48 hour day and thus 2x the amount of time to develop new maths

[vestal lava]

newton was on some too when he devised his laws

[mystic meteor]

i think so

he literally unfriended a guy irl bc he made a sex joke

no bullshit

LOL

bro's beliefs were as rigorous as his mathematical proofs

[vestal lava]

[mystic meteor]

[vestal lava]

ill prove this way is optimal

gimme a few days

[hidden heart]

Remember that he tried to use physics to prove God's existence and he was far more a theologian than mathematician in occupation

[vestal lava]

[mystic meteor]

bro's contributions to math and physics are still goated though

[mystic meteor]

[vestal lava]

💀

[vestal lava]

650 + 250 + 250 + 250 + 3 + 100 + 100 + 50

Oh okay they basically only 250 words

[hidden heart]

I think commonapp detects that and immediately marks you out or something

[vestal lava]

hmmmge

[hidden heart]

No guarantee I'd succeed though because I was a peculiar case of exactly what they were looking for somehow

queer writer who likes philosophy and humanities but also weirdly scientific

[vestal lava]

yeah, sounds like something brown would admit

[hidden heart]

so if you want me to rp for you

i can technically do that

[mystic meteor]

💀

i just like

i am an asian male who likes math

🙂

IT'S OVER

[vestal lava]

oh

[mystic meteor]

HAAAHAHAHAHA

[vestal lava]

it's joever

[mystic meteor]

[vestal lava]

start cc app

[mystic meteor]

true

i mean the ppl at chicago ccs are lowkey hot?

[hidden heart]

i'm honestly too emo for brown 💀 like the student body is a bit too cheerful for me but i still love it here since professors love me

[mystic meteor]

like...

[hidden heart]

tbh that was me growing up

[mystic meteor]

i used to hate math

[vestal lava]

yeah, you seem a bit more chil (?) than other brown students i have talked to

[mystic meteor]

but i've recently found that like

[vestal lava]

though i have a sample size of 1

[hidden heart]

yeah i probably give off more uchicago vibes

[mystic meteor]

the only things that can hold my attention when im not on the computer are piano, math, physics, and chem

[hidden heart]

oh god did you talk to cat hahahahah

[vestal lava]

i would agree

[vestal lava]

yeah lmao

[mystic meteor]

💀

[hidden heart]

she's

fascinating

.

[mystic meteor]

:worry:

[vestal lava]

that's one way to describe her, yes

[hidden heart]

honestly i can't save you there bud the asian stemness is too strong to overcome

[mystic meteor]

idk it's like

im not about to become a music major

so

💀

stem it is

[hidden heart]

why not?

music at brown is very good

[mystic meteor]

my parents will beat my ass

[hidden heart]

and very cool and liked

[mystic meteor]

🙂

[hidden heart]

who cares what they say

go for a apma music dual degree

so you still get apma

[mystic meteor]

idk why i care at this point

they used to dog on me for my grades

[hidden heart]

but also music since music is awesome here and the music community is so great

[mystic meteor]

until i found out what math courses they took

[hidden heart]

also did you know garrick ohlsson is coming in february to play rach 3

[mystic meteor]

wtf 🙏

r u going to listen

[hidden heart]

and we have the student ticket price of $25 for unlimited concerts throughout the year

[mystic meteor]

BRO

WAIT PLEASE LT ME IN

PLEASE

[hidden heart]

i think they have 7 in total every academic year

[mystic meteor]

oh my

[hidden heart]

absolutely if i can

[mystic meteor]

economic upturn

extreme monetary value.

[hidden heart]

also hoping to go to yuncham lim and bruce liu in boston

but those tickets are ridiculously expensive

[mystic meteor]

💀 i'd imagine

[hidden heart]

i mean i'm not sure yuncham lim is worth as much as bruce liu yet

but both are wonderful

and all three are during feburary sooooooo

[mystic meteor]

💀 loaded month

[hidden heart]

anyway! music at brown, consider :)

more likely admit than math by far

especially for asians

[mystic meteor]

i already sent the app 39 days ago

😂👌

[hidden heart]

oh shit good luck 💀

[mystic meteor]

💀

i will need a lot of it

[vestal lava]

if you want to play with the big dogs, you need to learn how to play the game

[mystic meteor]

idk my app is jsut super mid

[hidden heart]

not that they particularly consider major but unique narratives do help

[mystic meteor]

my numbers are near perfect but like

that's it

i'm literally the stereotypical asian applicant

💀

[hidden heart]

i did rd

[mystic meteor]

WAUGH

u might be the goat...........

🐐

[hidden heart]

at least you recognize 😭

[mystic meteor]

it makes it all th emore depressing

feels like i'll never be unique 🫠

joever

should've been a philosophy kind of person fr.

[hidden heart]

well recognizing the problem gives the opportunity for overcoming the problem!

[hidden heart]

still can

[vestal lava]

one of my friend's is a math + phil

[hidden heart]

a lot of students here are cs phil or math phil

[vestal lava]

mf wrote his own phil book lmao

[mystic meteor]

i think i want to do smth with music when i go to college though

maybe not even a minor but like

[hidden heart]

damn that's cool

[mystic meteor]

it would be a shame to just let it go as an "i did it for college" thing because piano is genuinely fun

[hidden heart]

are there more stem phil or humanities phil at harvard?

[mystic meteor]

i suck MASSIVE balls at piano but w/e

it's fun. we up.

[hidden heart]

i find that there are more stem phil here which is slightly sad

[mystic meteor]

giga cahd

[hidden heart]

what pieces are you playing rn?

[vestal lava]

a lot of my math friends like philosophy and have taken phil classes for fun, but i think overall there are more humaniites people who are actually doing phil as a concentration

[hidden heart]

oh that makes sense

harvard, like all ivies are far more analytic inclined in terms of philosophy which tends to attract stem students

continental philosophy is given far less attention in US uni phil departments

[mystic meteor]

im working on 3rd mvt of bach's italian concerto, mendelssohn's concerto in g minor (the first mvt), beethoven tempest 3rd mvt, and chopin's revolutionary etude

I can play none of them proficiently. I am a dog.

[hidden heart]

we're lucky brown has a leading kant scholar AND a leading nietzsche scholar

[hidden heart]

eh, you have time to practice

[vestal lava]

i dont know what either of those are

[mystic meteor]

they're ppl

dead ppl. 🙂

[hidden heart]

2 of the most famous philosophers

[vestal lava]

oh

[hidden heart]

surely you know nietzsche

and have heard of kant

[vestal lava]

[mystic meteor]

immanuel kant when some dudes in a cave in africa had the same idea as him but like 300 years b4 or smth

idr where i read that i have to go find it.

my ass cannot remember anything

[hidden heart]

LMAO i doubt it he was pretty good for his time

[vestal lava]

humanities overload

[hidden heart]

almost played italian concerto 2 years ago, cool piece, mendelssohn concerto is good, and tempest 3rd is fine too

chopin revolutionary is awesome

[mystic meteor]

i love chopin

😭

[hidden heart]

good repertoire

me too!

[mystic meteor]

the music is so passionate

[hidden heart]

currently barely working through a few pieces

[hidden heart]

LMAOOOO

[vestal lava]

wonder if i can set up ca with my harvard email

[hidden heart]

did you know

chopin did not want people to consider him passionate and romantic

[mystic meteor]

gg.

[hidden heart]

he wanted his music played like bach

[mystic meteor]

it's joever

💀

[hidden heart]

like

taken seriously and etc

and that's why they don't play rubato nowadays for chopin

or at least not nearly as much

[hidden heart]

try it LMAO

[mystic meteor]

joplin type of thing fr.

[hidden heart]

yeah

but i love his music anyway

though i think i've started to prefer scriabin over chopin

[mystic meteor]

ic

[vestal lava]

works

[hidden heart]

which somewhat makes sense since early scriabin was chopinistic in style but ended up going in his own direction

[mystic meteor]

💀

[hidden heart]

as a transfer or first year though

[mystic meteor]

it worked?

[vestal lava]

transfe

[mystic meteor]

oh

[hidden heart]

yeah

[mystic meteor]

try first year if still possible

[hidden heart]

do you get to keep your old email if you transfer

like

theoretically it's possible to amass all 8 school emails?

[vestal lava]

lemme try it this season

ill apply to the remaining 4 ivies that i did not apply to

[mystic meteor]

💀

it's like a bucketlist

[hidden heart]

damn you also only did 4?

[mystic meteor]

have to hit all of them before you die

[vestal lava]

yeah, i only applied to 4 schools in total

[mystic meteor]

wtf.

[hidden heart]

i sometimes wonder if i should've taken ivies more seriously and applied to more

[mystic meteor]

daredevil

[hidden heart]

damn nice

hypp?

[vestal lava]

nah

harvard, yale, cornell, and upenn

[hidden heart]

harvard yale princeton (penn state)?

oh

[vestal lava]

pton application was too long for me

[mystic meteor]

wait how many essays did cornell have last year

[vestal lava]

1

[hidden heart]

same i took it out last second

[mystic meteor]

damn.

[vestal lava]

i just copy pasted my harvard essay to cornell

[mystic meteor]

every college just trolling their apps this year ig

[vestal lava]

so it took 5 mins

[hidden heart]

i took out princeton and harvard last second

[mystic meteor]

im getting completely rolled by these apps

[vestal lava]

accurate

[hidden heart]

but i do wonder if harvard would've taken me too lol

[hidden heart]

almost all of them added content

[mystic meteor]

😭

[vestal lava]

harvard added a ton of yap this year

supreme court diff

[mystic meteor]

true

[hidden heart]

ivies in general are trying to make apps much mroe difficult

hey luck

wanna bet

which of our presidents resign first

[mystic meteor]

bottom 1 scotus decision

[vestal lava]

lmao

it's gonna be ours

[hidden heart]

upenn fell today

[vestal lava]

ill bet a nitro

[mystic meteor]

upenn has fallen. millions of finance bros must perish.

[hidden heart]

lmfao i won't take you up on that

i'm too broke

[vestal lava]

it's fine

if you're right ill send it, if i'm right you send nothing

[mystic meteor]

💀

[hidden heart]

most likely due to the amount of jewish pressure i'd suspect

[mystic meteor]

bro is sure of the "victory"

[vestal lava]

i have great luck

[hidden heart]

i mean to be fair as much as brown students shit on paxson

she doesn't exactly get thaaaat much pressure from alumni donors

[mystic meteor]

is she ass? what does she get shit on for

[vestal lava]

our donors are our life, blood, and soul

we love money

we need money

[hidden heart]

for "maintaining the university's interest" which basically means not divesting from israel-palestine

[vestal lava]

50 billion endowment doesn't make itself

[hidden heart]

but yes she is also ass

[mystic meteor]

💀

ah yes maintaining the university's interest

[hidden heart]

i find her to be an ass writer and speaker

[mystic meteor]

it matters more than humans

[vestal lava]

wait wtf

[hidden heart]

i mean brown also gets its endowment from somewhere right

[mystic meteor]

😭

[hidden heart]

even though it's like

[vestal lava]

our endowment is more than 8x brown's

[hidden heart]

12% of what harvard gets

[vestal lava]

[mystic meteor]

yo what

💀

bro?

[hidden heart]

more like 18%

we're 6.5b

[mystic meteor]

ermmmmmmm

[hidden heart]

they're 44nb

44b

they mostly get funds for their grad schools

[mystic meteor]

6.5b prob way more than enough tbh

💀

[hidden heart]

law + med + etc are very big

brown gets a lot less in comparison to other unis at the same quality

[vestal lava]

yeah, some dude donated 300 mil last yr and had the grad school renamed after him

[mystic meteor]

😭

[vestal lava]

he just like me fr

[mystic meteor]

WAIT

WAIT IT'S THIS GUY

[hidden heart]

harvard has a lot of rooted family legacy donors

[mystic meteor]

BASTARD GOT THE AUDITORIUM AT MY HS NAMED AFTER HIM

😱

[hidden heart]

LMAO

[vestal lava]

yeah, he's my friend

[hidden heart]

he's my son

[mystic meteor]

his kid lowkey got socially kicked out of the school for having too many questionable takes

💀

[hidden heart]

wait

[vestal lava]

i remember this lmao

i was there

[mystic meteor]

wait what

[hidden heart]

you said you're from chicago area?

[mystic meteor]

ye i go to lab.

🐸

spoiled bastard i am

[hidden heart]

oh okay i'm not as familiar with chicago schools but that is a private

[vestal lava]

yeah, this explains a lot now that i think about it

[mystic meteor]

it's the one affiliated with uchicago itself

gg.

[hidden heart]

that's what i thought

[mystic meteor]

i will say though that uchicago is somehow less appealing because of that

[hidden heart]

you also just want to leave the city probs

[vestal lava]

uchi sucks kinda

[hidden heart]

which is good

[mystic meteor]

since i have the privilege to not jump at the opportunity of having a boosted acceptance rate to uchicago

[hidden heart]

agreed even though it was my top choice basically

[mystic meteor]

💀 why does uchicago suck

idk much abt it tbh

[vestal lava]

cause it just does

[hidden heart]

extreme workload

[mystic meteor]

i just show up to school collapse and sleep in class and then go home

oh

[hidden heart]

student mental health down in the drain

[mystic meteor]

i mean i bombed the final so

🙂

i guess that'st rue

LOL

[hidden heart]

socially like it's fine

and i mean you probably know about it better since you live there

but security is a problem

[mystic meteor]

uchicago clapped my ass

it's over

LOL

[hidden heart]

wait what's that

[mystic meteor]

now that's what i call a lower quartile distribution score

[vestal lava]

bro's ass

[hidden heart]

that's kinky

[mystic meteor]

yeah that box-and-whisker plot is my ass

irl

[vestal lava]

what does this mean

[hidden heart]

haha

wordplay

[mystic meteor]

🙂

[vestal lava]

am i too dumb to understand

[mystic meteor]

the grade on the first midterm along with the distribution of scores

[vestal lava]

i think i am too dumb

[hidden heart]

you made a joke about his ass.

[vestal lava]

oh

[mystic meteor]

💀 oh

[hidden heart]

that's how i chose to interpret that sentence

because of the apostrophe

bad grammar joke lol

[mystic meteor]

🙂

[vestal lava]

fucking nerd

[mystic meteor]

same energy as the "let's eat, grandma" vs "let's eat grandma" thing

[hidden heart]

shame harvard couldn't have me

[vestal lava]

maybe you should transfer here

and i'll go to brown

mutual trade between schools

[hidden heart]

will go for grad probs

actually not that sure but i'm pretty likely to end up in boston for grad anyway

[hidden heart]

unfair advantage for harvard then nah

:D

[vestal lava]

🤔

[mystic meteor]

waiut all of the fucking ap credits for brown require 4+

🐸

if not 5

gg

[hidden heart]

yeah

and also they don't take english credit lmfao

[mystic meteor]

i only have 2 of them anyway

lab doesn't do APs other than the calculi, stats, and world language

ofc this only matters if i get in

🙂 that's the harder part

best not to worry about this now ig

[hidden heart]

"calculi" autoreject there

[mystic meteor]

BRO idk what the plural is

[hidden heart]

calculuses

[mystic meteor]

🤨

[hidden heart]

since it's noun

yeah but i'm pretty sure by latin etymology

[vestal lava]

🤓

[hidden heart]

a verb turns into -i

[mystic meteor]

idk im just used to hearing that kind of word ending result in -i

ye

[hidden heart]

noun turns into -ses

[mystic meteor]

o

ye idk i dont have actual reasoning behind the conjugation i did

[hidden heart]

but true in modern language you can determine as either

[mystic meteor]

it just sounded ok

my english mechanics are

[hidden heart]

also i'm probably mistaken too since radius/radii

[mystic meteor]

🙂 slightly questionable

[hidden heart]

nah this isn't english this is linguistics

[mystic meteor]

the true form is calculussy.

[hidden heart]

which i also am ass at

[vestal lava]

you know sylvia

[hidden heart]

i don't know sylvia sorry

i just want to be sylvia

[vestal lava]

i originially thought you were a bit of a creep weirdo

[mystic meteor]

gg wtf 💀

[hidden heart]

what

[vestal lava]

but you're not half bad

[mystic meteor]

only 49.9%

[vestal lava]

jkjk

youre chillin

[hidden heart]

how am i a creep weirdo

[mystic meteor]

💀❓

[hidden heart]

thank you

you're only half bad too

[vestal lava]

np

🤔

[mystic meteor]

if ur half bad then that's an F at being bad

therefore you have failed to be bad

🙂

[vestal lava]

hence i am good

[mystic meteor]

by proxy you have succeeded at being good, which is above 50%

[vestal lava]

QED

[mystic meteor]

however that means that you are over 100%

❓

[hidden heart]

if you're half bad that means you're also half good

[mystic meteor]

which way do you round up

[hidden heart]

therefore you are capable of free choice of either and therefore you have free will

[hidden heart]

i round them up against the wall and execute

[mystic meteor]

Oh.

my bad boss

[hidden heart]

yep

[mystic meteor]

🙂👍

[vestal lava]

why brown @mystic meteor

[mystic meteor]

why not brown

[hidden heart]

why brown @mystic meteor

[mystic meteor]

why anyplace else other than brown

[hidden heart]

talk to me as if i am logan powell

[mystic meteor]

:raisedeyebrowapple:

[mystic meteor]

i genuinely cannot answer this question

no bullshit

[hidden heart]

uh

gg

[vestal lava]

rejected then ig

gg

[hidden heart]

:(

[mystic meteor]

it's like there's the delusion that attending a certain school will make you happy but i've completely drank that kool-aid

[vestal lava]

[mystic meteor]

the first time i toured was when iw as in 6th grade

[vestal lava]

[mystic meteor]

my older sister toured bc they were in 11th

gg.

[hidden heart]

that's what i've been asking for a while now

[mystic meteor]

and my initial reaction was "this place is cute"

but now that i've looked at brown further

[hidden heart]

the first school i ever toured was harvard and i ended up not even applying

[vestal lava]

i joined and i dont know why i havent left

[hidden heart]

my dream school was

mit

for the longest ass time

[mystic meteor]

It's shit. I hate it
idt there's anyplace else that's better
