☆:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:☆
phys/phil solos
luck you should major in philosophy
transfer to harvard
i want to make money though
ill take phil classes but idk if i would major in it
im going to cry
big fat tears
guys any tips for the brown question that says "What three words best describe you? " 😭
like how am i supposed to describe myself in THREE words??
i did one fun word (kebab-loving) and then two more serious ones
for the serious ones just dont put something super cliche like “hardworking” cuz literally everyone says that
or “kind”
just try to find better words that describe ur character
those are my two cents
i seee
thanks!
Philosophers do not make money is a myth
See Thales
n=1
how do modern philosophers earn income
become faculty at a university
minus having to interact w people
Don't go to Harvard cuz the whether sucks in Mass lol
i love rainy weathers tho
They become CEOs and billionaires and capitalists
Duh
You’d be surprised how many modern day billionaires wanted to be philosophy majors back in college
Plus they can’t exploit the system well without a good understanding of modern society through the lens of philosophy
omg hai
hi i’m stuck at times square
do you wanna come say hi
extra points if you do so antisocially
I WAS JUST THERE
💀💀
oh oki that’s a bit away
im back at home now though
sounds like a typical new yorker day
what have you been up to
COOL!!!!
did you hide poems
around a library
not yet unfortunately
i’m still writing the letters and they’re kinda sad
but then again so are most of my works
i made two friends cry the other day with my poem series
people at brown?
who
i know them
👍🏼
i have been in the globe multiple times
ok!
but i was pretty proud that my poems could move people like that
mhm yeah
it’s a nice feeling
yup
👍🏼
dark time of my life
well i wouldn’t necessarily call them poems
actually i don’t really write a lot based on irl situations
EVEN BETTER
i make imaginary scenarios based on shadows of real events
because i don’t like thinking about it that deeply
well isn’t that what writing fiction literally is
what
u asked me if I wrote poems based on real things
i don’t have it i gave it to them
i was talking about phrasing stories as parodies of real life events
oh my god
oh wait you’ve had relationships right??
😭😭😭
makes sense
i find that my best works are always written out of unrequited feelings
stop not the miscommunication arc
i suffered through one of those for literally like 4 years
i’ve had relationships but they’re so far away now from who i am
i see 👍🏼
not miscommunication
rejection
lmfao
you’d be surprised
so ur not 18?
nope
- child prodigy.
i’m 6
how did you guys motivate urselves to do the brown video
I am not even planning to do it
I started thinking of brown like what 5 days ago
there is no way I can do it
are you applying to the entirety of the t20
no
i swear ive seen u in every channel
dark Brandon tell me a story
can you even afford berkely and la
nothing else
they don’t give aid to intl
I can afford it
Ok
i have no stories
to be fair for ivies I am not even trying to get aid because it is impossible
I am expecting $20,000 a year and my family s okay with that
ivies are like 80
ivies are like 60k bro
thats the tuition
80 for COA
without any aid
huh
imagine NEVER going off the campus, thats 60k
luck did u apply to brown
not even
unfortunately i did not
housing + fees
its like 80 with room and board
60k is just the tuition alone
i honestly dont anticipate i'll ever go to brown so i'm not even sure if its worth it to do the video
and most places rehire you to live on campus i think
wait
didn’t you apply to stanford or smth
its nt
yes
he got deferred
deferred
same
wait you are in the other server right
safeties
@rich mist dont do the video
o
ur not going to brown..
yes
video isn’t mandatory per say but helps potentially
luck u seem like a creative writing or philosophy major
intel probably isnt going to brown either
I am physics and I don't think a video would that help considering my research is a bit confidential, they don't allow filming except a little part
i am!
i predict he'll get into a t10
Brown is a t10 though
for 10 years at least!
my penn loci is gonna be so fire
yes
i need to email my AO oops
well my prediction was right
wait so where are you in
me too but i became a mod
your colors are that of a college student
hes lying
dont trust anything he says
where is he
hes a harvard man
can someone else verify it
😐😐😐😐
yeah
well I don't like harvard
Am i not a trustable person?
no
I would prefer brown to harvard in a heartbeat
you care, that's why you are responding to stuff
if you actually don't care you say nothin';
eh
fair nuf
ok we dont need to do this
people get in without it
I take it back, i do care
i will keep the brown chat positive
nah you’re chilling
ya I definitely gotta delete discord
I probably will at somepoint in college as well
been spending too much time here procrastinating essays rather than writing them
i hate leaguef of legends
funniest comment i’ve seen today
r/rareinsults or r/rarecompliments
Go to sleep sylvia
why
what are you writing
oh is this the shit you’re gonna hide
not really i have no time or courage to do that
rip
potentially someone else can hide it
i'd honestly hide it on harvard campus
in harvard libraries
i would look for them
I have nothing better to do anyways
im so bored
tell me a story @hidden heart
did you write it
sure then
lemme find something
this is pure cringe
from last year
that i wrote about two other people
is it based on a true story
yes
i don’t do that
doubt
it's not the best writing tbh
Unacceptable. F-.
then more rejections first from amherst williams vanderbilt
😱 wtf
got into my first school like 8 days before all apps came out
jfc
sapphic?
waitlisted by nyu
unfortunately not this one yet, but my major project that came after this was
nyu and brandeis are definitely yield protection
but then march 29th emory accepted for both emory and oxford
everyone else was like you're so set
t20 basically
i didn't want to give up and stayed pretty unamused and quiet about it
goes to show u can be rejected by pretty much everywhere but get into an ivy!
do you still think about her @hidden heart
it's not about me smh
i wrote it about a friend who told me this whole story
i see
i was the friend in the story
i see
anyway come ivy day it was waitlist columbia accept brown waitlist upenn
how'd you dislike it
I have never experienced feelings like that but it was very interesting and i liked it
hi guys
aww thank you, my pleasure
good afternoon
jealous that you don't have to go through bs like that
cat go offline
why
luck
lord thats so poignant
ur not even gonna say hi
hi cat!!!!!
better smh
not really but thank you 😭
i pride my more recent writings a lot more
this is fan behavior
no its just i had a very similar thing
when you see me in person give me money
im broke
oh yeah you'd be able to relate very much then
i need money
i did a poor job on the situation tbh and way too self-absorbed with narration
im sure ur newer writing reads much better but the content is 🥹
you are a CS major you will be fine give it 4 years
well I have money already
i thought he was a philosophy major
but i need more
💀
there r cs kids at harvard?!
there are FAR too many cs kids
they’re everywhere
this is a lot funnier
why do you keep changing your name
i'm feeling indecisive and random today
send more readings
wow you changed your name back
i guess i do have an effect on people
what type do you want
sylvia x luck friendship arc
most of my projects are incomplete
i will read anything at this point
the man is bored
do you want me to torture you with my bible
luck you could try to sleep before 1 AM
go for it
as well as the philosophical breakdown of it
that’s boring
sleeping for 7 hours gets you better skin
did you know that
what happened to being a man who takes care of urself
luck this is very boring philosophy
i have been sleeping for 8-9 hours since coming home
cat this is reading YOU SHOULDVE DONE
im making up for the hours lost day by day
IM SO CONFUSED
thanks bro i will read this gimme an hour
bro didn't see the last question on the exam
IS HE REAL
don't actually read it
it's boring
the 3 pointer?????
imso confuse
wait in Extra credit?
i did not JUST get an a i got 100
it’s too high level for me
i need something simple english
I WROTE AN ANSWER ON THAT
😭😭😭
i wrote 2 pages on that
i don’t remember the names of people
so i forgor
it's not worth
the sceptics are kinda boring
easy to write about
When we say that the sceptic does not dogmatize we are using the term "dogma" in the sense according to which, as some say, dogma is the assent to something non-evident investigated by the sciences, for a Pyrrhonist never assents to anything non-evident.
like I don’t even know what this is saying
he’s so cute
WAIT
basically anything that's not empirical we don't use as evidence
I do know
oh
💀
is this from ur gened course
YES
ALSO this skips so much
protein synthesis, translation
dna gets transcribe to rna and rna gets translated to proteins
transcription
yeah…
@hidden heart yk he got the highest score
in his class
at HARVARD?
why does harvard matter
and good job luck
well deserved!
thanks
basically just literary writing
Is it just short poetry
as you wish
prose is just writing
fancy word creative writers made up
ok goodnight guys <3
yeah im gonna try to wake up before 10 so i don’t feel like i wasted my day
baiii <3
later
goodnight cat
removed my favorite poem series from it rn but in the future might show people it if they're interested
mmmm
but idk it feels too personal
it’s ok
nah you’re good
the other poems are more fun tbh
according to grammarly i have made 247 grammartical errors in the full document
i think that's a win
sylvia did u submit a creative writing portfolio..
i prob can’t even spot them anyways so you’re chiling
i indicated to columbia i was gonna submit one and just never did
i think that's why they waitlisted me 💀
brown doesn't accept creative writing portfoliios do they
oh they're all intentional
grammarly just doesn't like non-proper english
i invented at least 5 words here
yeah brown only takes music and art
i did music
what music
piano
oh!
real
i know
what major do u wanna do
average asian
guess!
LMFAO
avg asian!
nah you're right
i'm literary arts + philosophy
were you the one who said Luck gives creative writing philosophy vibes
oh it was you
HAHAHA
he's cooler than your average cs major
but also cs enough to spend too much time here
thats the vibe
and why are you thinking finance?
gender studies + africana
o
ITS NOT finance
econ math
Luck are you going to transfer to brown
yeah
see i love this stuff which is why i kinda fuck w the core
ruby are you going to come to brown
brown doesn’t have core tho
talking ab columbia
o
I was actually just working on my brown supps 😁
They’re super hard though
not applying to brown cuz i dont have time for a video
I research sooooo much 😭
if you need me to review them lmk
I gotchu
It’s due like Jan 16th
Are you fr
9th
nah
Yeah thought so 💀
you'll do wonderfully
Im bad at college apps
Ty ty
Isn’t everyone
better with open curriculum tbh
nope
Nah, the people who get all ivies know what they’re doing
not always tbh
I’m lowkey super stressed though bc health is deteriorating real bad + deadline is soon and need to finish harvard unfortunately (mom wants me to apply and she hasn’t let me lived down the fact I didn’t do the 2 other things she wanted in life) + not at home
usually when that happens it's either their achievements are too desirable or they're a surprising character
OKAY FIRST ARE YOU SLEEPING AND HYDRATING ENOUGH
please sleep and hydrate
and eat
True
hmmmmmm i could maybe potentially might actually help you if this is the case
Luck can help you with harvard
No and yes dw I’m drinking sm water
i can help with brown
harvard is hard bro
I'm worried about your sleep schedule
they switched all their prompts
This is slightly difficult but I’m trying trust
easier than brown this year
actually wait harvard prompts are similar to brown last year isn't it
good!
Honestly would appreciate it once I finish my drafts
shit now I’m guilt trapped into helping
I’m almost done w my first 3 essays first drafts 😃
You don’t need to dw
yeeeessss
i can help!
I don’t even want to apply to Harvard I just don’t want to disappoint my mom 😭
i got nothing going on the next few days anyway
my health needs a bit of recovering but i'm free 25th onwards
oh just copy paste your stuff then from other schools and call it a day
if u don’t care
Omg I am so grateful
what happened 😭
I basically copy pasted all my harvard supps to my other schools anyways, worked fine for me 😵💫
Ok but I do care 😭 don’t want to do anything less than my best
i think my body collapsed on me after a month of not treating myself well and sleeping at 4 to work on hardcore projects
i can help starting tomorrow night technically but it's christmas eve
and i'll be out somewhere in boston
will do in a few
Please take care of yourself
I see
i'll try 
Gts!! It’s 1
Anywyas I need to sleep 😭
oki
i hope you have a blast with them even if you're not the biggest poetry fan
it's so weird i think of 1am as early now
this is very bad
Need to wake up at 7 😭 gn
nighty!
what
which poem
metaphysics one word btw
she wrote that shit in 1 day or something
so props to her
the filler poet on the thing you sent
oh
that’s the only one I read so far
ty
well not really but it gets a lot more abstract
it's okay it's technically greek
so, 4 am instead of 5 am?

idk why i do that anyway
since i do 5 am -> school + swimming
vs 2 am -> just swimming
should be other way around
🐸
im lowkey only doing this sport because i love my teammates
and the team is very gay ngl
it's kind of funny
bruh
sure that’s soap bro
🤨
?
we will see
might be milk
ah hell nah

but ye idk unironically if the ppl on my team weren't super cool and supportive i would've exploded prob
ye
gl bro
🤝
lock in with me
hmm
the best i can do is sleeping at 2-3
lowkey massive achievement for-
no idont ahve anything tmrw...
tonight is my night to frag out
😭
I thought you have swim
are you national level swimmer
o
i want to quit
o
bruh
i used to be ok at it
that was me for one of my ecs lol
nothing spectacular at all but i was decent
the sound of water is really pretty
that's the only reason i started swimming

i quickly realized this sport is ass
motherfuckers fr waking up at like 5 to hop into a freezing pool and suffer for 2 hours
like ?
good job you definitely have a lot of friends for that one
i mean swimming is a useful skill at least
it helped me save someone once
ye crazy story actually
nah
that's actually so scary
tf
well i am glad you are here today to join us on the applyingtocollege discord


all roads lead to a2c
all roads lead to me
🤨
U don’t touch grass
@hidden heart @wide thicket what would you say brown values most during admissions? essays, video, ecs, personality, intellectual curiosity or-?
omg same
definitely not video, ECs are important for basis, but i’m pretty sure success comes from essays which demonstrate your personality and intellectual curiosity
and your LORs from teachers should verify it
also y’all
please don’t randomly send me message requests telling me that you’ve finished all your supps and you want me to help if you have never spoken here and we’ve never had a conversation 😭
I’m willing to help but i can’t just do that for anyone so randomly 💀 please don’t use me as a college admission tool
😠 wdym u cant just dm people and expect them to help SMH
😔😔
^ yeah like why are you on a2c huh 🙄 if college people are on a2c it obviously means they're open to help!! (average a2c high schooler who doesn't know about village be like-)
alright thank you!!
It’s true lol, you don’t even know me
I do
i’m not helpful i’m very useless idk why brown accepted me 😔
you're literally sylvia plath the best poet of all time idk what you're on
haii
i would personally say personality
but i genuinely think it’s all important
so probably essays and video
ive met a lot of people who got in without the video but i truly think a good video can save your application
because it’s the only time an admissions officer actually gets to see you in person, and who you are and what you actually stand for
i think the video is a really good gauge of how genuine a person is in their ‘applicant persona’ that they reflected in their essays and such
not really about this part imo
also another note at the many brown info sessions i went to they said ur grades are the most important part 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
it’s my opinion
video doesn’t affect much remember
i think it matters
if you look at their cds it’s like the least important thing compared to all the necessary material
it can save an application
it’s my opinion 😭
ok 👍🏼
👍🏼
this is true but for applicants please remember that grades are purely the basis
the fundamental layer of your application, if you only have this you won’t get accepted, but you can’t get accepted if you don’t have this
i did not know the application police would be on me 4 seconds after I wrote my message goddamn
L moment
💀
okk bai
i have things to do 💔 like rot in my room
exactly
yup same 👍🏼
can i show you my video lol
YES!!!!!
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE
it would be an honor
I can attest to this
<3333
gimme some time to watch it if that’s okay, i need to finish a few things first :]
i LOVE watching peoples brown videos they’re always saur cute
YEP YEP OFC
my essays are fire, thats good
well how about the fact that no video would augment my app because I was confidently planning everything without it
ahh its okay
back to the other supps see ya tomorrow

and happy holidays or merry christmas, thats the last message I gotta go to sleep
perfect
I did the same
mei you’re just lurking and laughing nowadays aren’t you
calm before the storm
what gpa would count as a base? Is a 3.9+ alright or should it be more likre 3.95+?
the difference here is trivial
3.9+ is fine
ye i'm sweating the details, i have a 3.9+ but it's one C and two Bs
living life on the edge 
yeah actually I just realized does brown do weighted gpas?
I'm sure the AOs look at like course rigor by year but idk if they got their own weighting system for each class that they numerically calculate
I believe they recalculate your GPA with their own standards
either way i think you’re fine
another day another league grind
lurking and 
finish your supps
did you submit harvard yet




no
i'm not happy with them
and i'm submitting all on dec 31
also i can't stop winning.... too good
oh





no i am not boosted bastard...
i wage this war myself
minimal external input
i want to 1v9 not 5v5.
you play too much league
i want to be like atlas irl.
permanently fucking trapped under the weight of the world
👍
you’re going to be stuck in losers q at this rate
i always am
sisyphean struggle.....................
i roll my teammates up the hill only to watch them roll the fuck back down with me in tow...........

i would apply today if it's tru lol
r the academics at brown still rigorous but more laid back compared to other ivys?
Public Health and Applied Mathematics for 1st and 2nd intended concentrations
yes babe

well some places more than kthers
i went to my friends dorm and the smell nearly knocked me over it was POTENT
they are rigorous
