[rich mist]

[small parrot]

That's true though

[rich mist]

[small parrot]

A ticket for guitars to fly from China🤤

[hidden heart]

you can actually check it in

as a luggage item

and tell them to take good care of it

[rich mist]

oohh i forgot you're in china sorry

[small parrot]

My heart will literally stop beating if they mess up with my guitar.

[hidden heart]

sue em

[small parrot]

Gonna be an emotional damage😂

[steel pine]

would it be a good idea to call Brown to ask if they watched my video? (it was very late?)

[small parrot]

Ngl but I really have to take a look at my econ RLEs. Paper 1 in three hours😜

[hidden heart]

no point

[hidden heart]

go study and good luck!

i don't think there's any point in harassing any admissions office after you send your stuff in lol

it's just up to chance then

[tired shadow]

MCM MAJOR?

oh my god

i wanna put a photo in but it ownt let me

search up collegehillcodepent on instagram

[small parrot]

Wait what😲 anything wrong abt it? My ig says no result though. Could you please DM me or so?

[small parrot]

Oops I found it🤣 hilarious together with other memes

But fr what would you say abt mcm in brown?

[tired shadow]

the memes are so fire

bomb insta page

[tired shadow]

ummm

cool classes

one of my good friends is an mcm major

hes always extremely fashionable

warning, if u want to be an mcm major at brown you should dress well or else you will be looked at weirdly

[valid magnet]

what's your major?

[small parrot]

Lol not what I expected but sounds very reasonable

[tired shadow]

applied mathematics

[tired shadow]

yup!

dont even think about doing humanities at brown if you dont own either doc martens, big earth-toned sweater you pulled out of a goodwill bin, dark red nail polish/lip tint, tattoos, or piercings. hope this helps!

[small parrot]

I'm sort of in the middle😂

[tired shadow]

wdym

[small parrot]

In the middle of fashionable mcm and the humanities😜

[tired shadow]

mcm is considered a humanities here lol

[small parrot]

You caught me🫢

[tired shadow]

lol

[small parrot]

having hash brown for breakfast now. find it no point to review econ anymore

brown power befall me🤞

[tired shadow]

lol gl

[tulip glacier]

is apma at brown hard? that's what i applied for

[wooden hare]

🎶We’re off on the road to rhode island…🎶

[tired shadow]

um

its level of difficulty differs

i dont know how u work or what kind of teaching u like

its definitely not easy, its challenging, but balance ur time

[tulip glacier]

like in comparison to eng or like cs is it more manageable

i tend to do better in math classes if i pay attention so is it just mostly that?

[tired shadow]

i mean yeah

[tired shadow]

i dont understand this question

it depends on what u find more difficult

and the class

how can i say if a whole degree is easy

[tulip glacier]

like would you say its more demanding than engineering or compsci

fair

[tired shadow]

they're all hard i guess

[tulip glacier]

also workload

[tired shadow]

cs workload is always bad but apma too

[tulip glacier]

i figured

[tired shadow]

brown wont push you beyond ur limits as long as u stay on top of ur work

[tulip glacier]

are there any weird theoretical classes you need to take freshman yr

[wooden hare]

My video portfolio was so ass

[tired shadow]

no

just the intro classes for ur requirement

[tulip glacier]

got it

[tired shadow]

unless u need rto take other math classes bc u didnt in hs

[tired shadow]

oh well

u win some u lose some

[rich mist]

idt it matters bc ive seen some "ass" ones get in

at least you took the initative to make one

[valid magnet]

Yeah same....

[wooden hare]

Fr bro I did it the night it was due and one of the prompts was “what was your favorite time of day” and I chose night Lmfaoooo

not like I really had any other choice then

[tired shadow]

whatever floats ur boat i guess

if the rest of ur app is good ur prob ok

[gritty anvil]

!brown

[small parrot]

!ivy

failed to master bot summoning spells

Gonna post my vid on YTB if I get in

[hidden heart]

literally untrue

for reference: do NOT take 4 advanced classes in the same semester your first two years

for humanities at least

the amount of readings is borderline insane

[tired shadow]

for you, maybe

i be chilling asf

[tired shadow]

you actively chose to take 4 advanced classes as a freshman 💀 thats not the typical workload for a freshman here. that is you doing it to yourself.

[hidden heart]

woah woah woah why would an apma student be doing readings 🤔

[tired shadow]

apma students actually get readings

😭

unironically

[hidden heart]

not in the same manner as humanities

[tired shadow]

no...u dont say...

its almost like humanities entails...guess what...reading 🤯

[valid magnet]

What's your major?

[tired shadow]

sylvia is philosophy lit arts

[hidden heart]

dunno what a major is sorry

[gilded haven]

concentration 🤓

[gusty bane]

My checklist is complete

[valid magnet]

Even the fasfa stuff?

Oooh ok

[random wolf]

But like

What’s up with this email

[lilac pollen]

I think they just sent it to everybody

To confirm time and let us know our checklist will be removed

[random wolf]

They sent it to u?

[valid magnet]

I think they sent it to most ppl cuz I still haven't received it

[lilac pollen]

Yeah

[random wolf]

As long as they sent it to everyone

I thought it was a likely

[valid magnet]

That would be so good lol

[random wolf]

Frrr

Senioritis would’ve hit harder than ever

[mortal iris]

My heart jumped

[random wolf]

SAME

I Read the title of the email being brown office of undergrad and went

[brazen ferry]

Why would they send out likelies 1 week before decision day 😭

[valid magnet]

How many ppl got in last year on this Discord? Does anyone know the poll?

[ocean quarry]

Brown University moment

[tired shadow]

i think there was like

2 of us

or 3

that were active in the server

but the brown channel was more active for my year (co27)

[lament rampart]

Bruh that email

Quaking in my boots

[noble scarab]

LITERALLT SAME

[tired shadow]

what was the email

[steel marlin]

admissions release date

[tired shadow]

what day is the release

ivy day?

[steel marlin]

the 28th yuppp

guys should i email them about a scholarship for my financial aid?

to help advocate for my package?

even if it's not very significant (+5k$)?

5k not plus

[tired shadow]

email them if u get accepted

why would you email them rn ur not even accepted lol (unless u were ED)

[steel marlin]

but they r need aware so it can help to say "hey i can pay +5k + my EFC)?

[tired shadow]

i dont think it will have any bearing on anything

given that 1. decisions are likely finalized/very close at this point 2. even if they arent, it wont get you in

[steel marlin]

u r prob right

[jade stag]

They didn’t even email me💀

Am I cooked

[steel marlin]

mmm check your portal! is it all set?

[tidal ivy]

so what does "beginning at 7pm" mean

does that mean they could release later that night?

[neon yoke]

no

[tidal ivy]

do they always do 7 sharp?

[meager raven]

yes. they will be available “beginning at 7” meaning starting at 7, you’ll be able to view your decision in the portal:)

[brazen ferry]

Who pinged me

[scenic oriole]

Schizo moment

https://tenor.com/view/kendrick-lamar-god-is-gangsta-u-ahhh-scream-gif-6349874768192364613

[gilded haven]

[timid zenith]

wasn't insane enough for johns hopkins

[gilded haven]

[granite pasture]

[gilded haven]

maybe it was a yield protect!!!

[granite pasture]

[gilded haven]

[granite pasture]

[edgy steppe]

whats up brown chat

[valid magnet]

Nothing much tbh just ruminating on desicions ig lol

[edgy steppe]

I wonder how holistic brown is

ive only been accepted/ waitlisted by holistic unis(or unis that dont consider freshman grades like cmu)

brown cds💀

[valid magnet]

Hopefully they are a little lol

[edgy steppe]

intresting

why dont they want us to know about gpa?

[timid zenith]

what does this mean

ik its the common data set

but why is it usually 0

with no data

[edgy steppe]

idk

[valid magnet]

I thought brown didn't calculate GPA

oh wait this is for highschool?

[timid zenith]

[edgy steppe]

yes

[edgy steppe]

.

[valid magnet]

Yeah thats actually kinda weird

[timid zenith]

i think they dont wanna show taht

most students are like 3.8+

[edgy steppe]

W brown

let me in fr my gpa is only downside

[compact kernel]

for reference stanford is 70% 4.0

22% between 3.75 and 3.99

and like 5% between 3.5 and 3.75

the other 3% is under a 3.5

[gilded haven]

just be quirky guys

[edgy steppe]

stanford doesnt consider freshman year gpa

🙏

might be reason

[compact kernel]

for sure skews it all

brown is def lower

[gilded haven]

use ur essays to not talk abt ecs and talk about what makes u unique and u got a fair shot i think

[sleek rover]

Are you guys still accessing the brown portal

Like is it loading (

[compact kernel]

yeah

[valid magnet]

Yeah

[compact kernel]

i think my brown essays were my best

[valid magnet]

Agreed

I ate the 3 word essay

[compact kernel]

LMAOO i cooked on that

so how holisitc is brown btw

i know every school says they are

[edgy steppe]

same

[edgy steppe]

JHU IS NOT HOLISTIC😭

[edgy steppe]

brown feels like a holistic school

their whole vibe

[compact kernel]

LMAO from what I hear JHU is prob the furthest from holistic

[edgy steppe]

JHU is MIT medical edition

[compact kernel]

i might be screwed tho cause Brown already took 4 kids in ED from my school

and my class is about 100 kids

[noble scarab]

yeah my school took like 5 penn for no reason

[edgy steppe]

would I even go to brown over cmu.
My majors: ECE/cs/Math

[valid magnet]

Small ahh school

Depends if it's a good school for you. Do you see yourself there? Do you value prestige, etc?

[edgy steppe]

prestige yes. but brown has zero prestige in tech I feel

[valid magnet]

True that's why I'd prolly go to cmu (if the accept me 😭) I just want a good cs program tbh

[timber ocean]

wl jhu wl washu im so cooked

[noble scarab]

thats a W tho

thats good indication that good things are gonna come

cuz that means ur at a good level

like ur at that level to get accepted somewhere rly good

[valid magnet]

Exactlyy

[hidden heart]

i did not get accepted at either

y'all got this!

[compact kernel]

only bu stands in between me and ivy day

gonna be a loooongggg week of anxiousness

[valid magnet]

Yeah true hopefully it goes well for you
I think I'm numb to the anxiety atp 😭
I'm just excited no matter if I get in or not (maybe this is copium tho lol)

[timid zenith]

we wil GET IN

[hidden heart]

just to help y'all cope

i got waitlisted nyu and brandeis

which should help put things into perspective

[timber ocean]

looking back at my apps i realized how much better I could have made them but it is what it is atp

[hidden heart]

repeat after me:

yield protection

[neon yoke]

im getting into brown

[wooden hare]

yield protection

[hidden heart]

that too

just repeat to yourself every hour

[timber ocean]

yall know when brown comes out

?

[neon yoke]

!brown

[hidden heart]

"(name of school) waitlisted/rejected me because of yield protection. I will get into Brown."

!brownrd

[neon yoke]

!ivyday

[hidden heart]

28th

[timber ocean]

oh wait

its ivy day lol

[hidden heart]

6pm ET I think

[neon yoke]

7pm

[hidden heart]

oh okay

thursday again

[timber ocean]

berk is on ivy day too

that friday is gonna be so sad

hopefully it will be happy though

[hidden heart]

i guess they want their students to bask in the glories of getting accepted into an ivy at school on friday

[timber ocean]

happy march 29th

[hidden heart]

or be totally depressed

they do this every year

[neon yoke]

stanford on 29th prob

[timber ocean]

jubilant march 29th

[hidden heart]

berkeley 28th

stanford 29th

[steel pine]

!brown

ok so why no command???

[gilded haven]

u guys got this

[hidden heart]

!yale

[rugged karma]

Yale University RD Date

Yale University decisions come out <t:1711666800:F> in your local time
7 days, 19 hours and 13 minutes until the decision date

ApplyingToCollege

[hidden heart]

what the fuck is this bullshit

hello???

!harvard

why does yale work and nothing else

this is bullshit

mods? explain

this is discrimination

[timber ocean]

the yale bias is crazy

[hidden heart]

y'all

we cannot let this stand

[gilded haven]

revolt

[hidden heart]

can we summon a mod

[hidden heart]

protesting is among the 5 best skills of brown students

complaining is also there so

[gilded haven]

very true

[hidden heart]

it's funny because we always jeer at people who complain

but do it ourselves anyway

[gilded haven]

is hypocrisy also a skill of brown students

[compact kernel]

do AOs limit how many kids they take from one school

[hidden heart]

that too

[steel pine]

All the Ivies are at 7 so there should be a command for all Ivies

[hidden heart]

and inconsistency

[steel pine]

someone @ mods

[hidden heart]

apparently the yale one replaced !ivyday

[steel pine]

bruh

!ivyday

[gilded haven]

depends if they’re trying to fill a niche i imagine

[steel pine]

no it didnt

#🤖-bot-commands message

[hidden heart]

i imagine unless feeder schools then they generally limit

[gilded haven]

yeah makes sense

[compact kernel]

they took 5 kids ED so I don't think they'll be as open in RD

[hidden heart]

but also depends on region

[gilded haven]

i would most definitely not know lol

[hidden heart]

like i swear 50% of population here is made up of cali nyc new england kids

[gilded haven]

bahahaha

[steel pine]

Brown has taken 2 kids from my school before (we never send kids to Ivies)

[hidden heart]

realistically probably about 20%

[hidden heart]

those two statements seem contradictory

[steel pine]

hyperbole

almost never

[hidden heart]

or do you mean like they forcefully kidnapped the children

[gilded haven]

brown never accepted someone from my school but we usually get 1-2 ivies per year (including athletics)

[hidden heart]

while you do not want to send kids to brown

[steel pine]

lmao

[hidden heart]

well they have now

[gilded haven]

boom breaking barriers 💪🏾

how’s club pickleball at brown

i was thinking of joining up

[hidden heart]

like 6% of our kids went to an ivy+ last year

[hidden heart]

i have no idea you'll have to check out the clubs

[gilded haven]

im hyped for that

[valid magnet]

Thats really cool
I don't think anyone has been from mine prolly cuz we are a trade school for trade/military not college lol

[hidden heart]

(we have 49 students. 3 total acceptances and 1 being athletic lmfao and also private school in canada)

[gilded haven]

gotchu

[hidden heart]

heezy which state are you from

[gilded haven]

yesss canadians rise up

[steel pine]

[steel pine]

Grade inflation is nice

[timid zenith]

[jade stag]

I finished my fafsa in January hello??

[timid zenith]

[sharp fiber]

[hidden heart]

well only 3 of the classes have difficult content but yeah

[sharp fiber]

did u not get one

[steel pine]

what major?

[hidden heart]

philosophy

[steel pine]

ah

[sharp fiber]

isn't everyone supposed to get that email

[valid magnet]

Why do this to yourself tho 😭

[sharp fiber]

about portal closing

[timid zenith]

good godo

[hidden heart]

and literary arts and maybe comparative literature

[sharp fiber]

im probbly gonna submit 1 more thing before tmrw

im gonna submit 1 last update

[hidden heart]

because i thought hey i'd be able to take this while doing more stuff socially

[steel pine]

I'm in stem so if I went to brown I'd be chilling not having to take any english courses

[hidden heart]

which kinda is working and i think i'm doing as well as last semester

but oh god i'm not looking forward to when i have to work on 3 final projects and die

[steel pine]

Wait so can stem majors take all science classes?

[valid magnet]

Ohhh that makes sense
Glad you made it out alive

[hidden heart]

2 writing reqs

[steel pine]

oh ok

[hidden heart]

the worst part has yet to come

[hidden heart]

just take a intro to fiction/poetry class

it's really fun i'd say

[steel pine]

college writing is prob gonna be hard for me ngl bc my english classes were all pretty easy

[hidden heart]

i mean of course i'm speaking as a lit arts concentrator

but writing is fun! trust

[steel pine]

But I'm good enough I'll hopefully get through

[hidden heart]

especially when you can come up with stuff

[hidden heart]

just s/nc it

[sharp fiber]

did any of u guys submit music supps to brown

[steel pine]

pass/fail?

[gilded haven]

if shit gets to hard im going to dm u and ask u to write my papers k thanks

[hidden heart]

yup

[hidden heart]

go to the writing center

they're really helpful

that's what i heard

[gilded haven]

omg right

[valid magnet]

Same tell me why we're coloring in ap lit like???

[jade stag]

@hidden heart it says my fafsa is awaiting in brown portal but I submitted in January?

[steel pine]

the longest shit I wrote in HS was only a few pages long

[sharp fiber]

fafsa has problems rn

[hidden heart]

i have no idea i can't help with the financial stuff sorry :(

[sharp fiber]

every school has problems with fafsa rn

[steel pine]

I've never had to write a crazy 10+ page paper

[sharp fiber]

i wouldn't be worried

[jade stag]

Better give me so much aid

[hidden heart]

as long as you don't do humanities you won't have to in college either

except lab reports

[timid zenith]

im cooked

[steel pine]

labs are chill

[timid zenith]

[hidden heart]

why?

[timid zenith]

theology

[hidden heart]

are you double concentrating

OH HAHA

religious studies is really cool here

[gilded haven]

zoinks

[timid zenith]

gonna write 10 page paper on why God is good

[hidden heart]

as long as you got the content down

[timid zenith]

[hidden heart]

the writing part will work itself there

[hidden heart]

will debate you on this

[timid zenith]

[steel pine]

I don't get why people major in philosphy and theology I'm sorry

[timid zenith]

try me

[hidden heart]

and argue exactly why Spinoza is right that God simply is there and has no inherent good or bad

[timid zenith]

personal interest

[hidden heart]

because i don't find other things as interesting

i am (used to?) be a total stem person too

[timid zenith]

🗣️ heresy

[valid magnet]

I used to think this before I wanted to double major in cs and gender studies 💀

[hidden heart]

but i've always loved history and writing and etc

[steel pine]

Don't you have some other interests which are more employable/can make money somehow?

[timid zenith]

thats the issue with university

you pay for a flat fee

regardless of major

[hidden heart]

no your claim is based on your pre-supposed beliefs

[timid zenith]

it shouldn't be like that

[steel pine]

bro as long as you got CS you all good

[timid zenith]

🗣️ cs lewis when rationality is irrational in absolutes

[hidden heart]

gender studies is cool honestly

[timid zenith]

nah that is dumb

[hidden heart]

philosophy can make money as long as you know how to use the skills

quite good money actually

[timid zenith]

will never understand why you pay

for that

[hidden heart]

gender studies is not a simple field lmfao

[timid zenith]

philosophy makes sense since you have world class stuff

but gender studies?

[steel pine]

@valid magnet Based on what you told me you're set to get good internship and stuff in college no matter where u go which means you're set to get a high paying job straight out of college

[timid zenith]

[hidden heart]

extension of philosophy and arguably a more relevant field in terms of social issues in modern society

[timid zenith]

anything is more relevant than philosophy lmao

[hidden heart]

so gender studies would actually make good policy analysts at companies regarding appeal to genders

[hidden heart]

not true

[gilded haven]

more relevant than ever in this day and age

[timid zenith]

psychology moment

[valid magnet]

True 👍 just gotta find a balance

[steel pine]

ok. how tho? I mean ik you can pursue all this tsuff in academia but like how can it be useful in any other setting?

[timid zenith]

half the topics are intertwined

[hidden heart]

philosophy is about principles

[timid zenith]

its just a thing rich people do

learn obscure stuff

[hidden heart]

also understanding the fundamentals of problems and deconstructing problems to come up with solutions, which is extremely useful in problem solving

[timid zenith]

rich universities perpetuate that idea now

[valid magnet]

Yesss this is a part of what I want to do

[hidden heart]

basically mathematics with words if you do analytic philosophy

[timid zenith]

to all their admits

[hidden heart]

that will be cool!

[steel pine]

stem majors do that very well

[hidden heart]

yeah and philosophy majors are often double with stem

or humanities

depending on what they want to do

i used to be a theoretical maths nerd

i got into philosophy through astrophysics and metaphysics

[steel pine]

why not double major?

[hidden heart]

not on a principle level as much as philosophy i'd say

they're more detail oriented about it while philosphy is structural

[hidden heart]

i am with literary arts

[steel pine]

I mean w/ physics or math

[timid zenith]

@steel pine ngl this probably why universities should do a ISA model for tuition

not flat tuition

[hidden heart]

i don't want to pay 100k a year for math when i can learn that on my own lmfao

humanities is not something one can simply learn on themselves properly

[timid zenith]

😭 the stem major is paying for the humanities' major education

[hidden heart]

math i absolutely can study on my own with mit ocw

[steel pine]

Can u learn therotical math on your own?

[hidden heart]

yeah

i was a math person lol

[steel pine]

while juggling a double major?

[hidden heart]

junior year even i thought i'd major in theoretical maths

[valid magnet]

Ok you're kinda cooking there

[hidden heart]

probably gonna do math during summer

[steel pine]

idk I just know that math majors are a lot more employable than most liberal arts majors

[hidden heart]

i don't exactly care about employability tbh

[timid zenith]

tis the issue with admission

and tuition

[hidden heart]

i know i won't have to worry about jobs. worst case scenario i become a temporary sellout on wall street to make a decent living then do what i want

plus i want to go into education so

[hidden heart]

not theoretical math

[valid magnet]

kinda real I just happen to be in a major that brings in bread and that I'm passionate abt lol

[hidden heart]

yeah that's best case scenario

[timid zenith]

med 🙏 for me

[steel pine]

they hire philosphy/literay arts majors on wallstreet?

[timid zenith]

major means jack in wallstreet

you need to show yourself

[steel pine]

oh ok

[hidden heart]

yeah lol

it's about bullshitting skills

and i don't think any major can bullshit better than philosophy majors

[steel pine]

what will u do in wallstreet?

[hidden heart]

• literary skills to be able to write something well

[hidden heart]

probably investment banking not wall street

[steel pine]

also why pay so much for a major you won't continue to pursue after college?

[timid zenith]

abuse government subsidies

[timid zenith]

dawg you gotta understand people are irrational

like look at me

[steel pine]

don't u need interships and connections to get into that? why would they hire you over a STEM major?

[hidden heart]

because an undergrad education is philosophy is a good enough basis for me to continue educating myself?? also not like you have to go to grad school for philosophy to be able to understand things

[timid zenith]

why would i dedicate 14 years of my life for pay that i can get as a business major or as a engineer

[hidden heart]

and why would i not have internships or connections

y'all are assuming way too much about me lmfao

[steel pine]

are u getting internships related to wall street?

Yeah I am

I mean tell me what I've got wrong

[hidden heart]

not this summer since i didn't apply

[hidden heart]

your entire assumption is that my goal is employability

but i'm exactly opposed to the idea that college is vocational lmfao and i think that's exactly how the bourgeois maintains control over the proletariat

the idea of knowledge as that which constitutes power is more real than you think

also you'd be surprised at how often rich people want to come off as educated

so guess who they want to surround themselves with

[steel pine]

Yeah that's most peoples goal in order to pay off their crippling debt. I mean if you're rich or don't want to work for someone else and would rather make money someway else that's another story

[hidden heart]

i mean i don't think i have to exactly follow a conventional path to pay off my crippling debt

what's the worst that happens? i die?

not exactly what i'm worried about

[steel pine]

You certainly don't have to, there are many ways to make money. But I assumed you wouldn't want to live being unable to pay it off.

[hidden heart]

eh

you also gotta remember that the employment landscape in 5-10 years will be extremely different than now

with the rise of AI

i don't exactly see how what i want to do will be replaced in any way while other jobs can be

[steel pine]

ok

thank you for this conversation

[jade stag]

Why does brown say the “checklist will no longer be available for viewing” 😭

What purpose does that serve

Should I email about my fafsa?

[neon yoke]

to prevent portal astology

and unncessary stress

and by this time whats done is done

[valid magnet]

Yeah you're right lol
I don't think fasfa would be affected either since I'm sure ppl still need to have theirs processed

[jade stag]

My fafsa still says awaiting in brown portal do u think I should email?

Submitted in sanitary

[neon yoke]

up to you

fafsa isnt even in my portal

only css and tax returns and non filer waiver

[jade stag]

Ok same ig I won’t

[gusty bane]

smh do i see math slander

[tidal ivy]

how many waitlists does brown give out?

i couldn't handle one after being deferred ed

[hidden heart]

yes you do

[gusty bane]

😔

[hidden heart]

(i'm a theoretical math lover)

doesn't get one too many job prospects either though

also brown theoretical math is oof

[gusty bane]

mmm

well

[hidden heart]

brown apma is #1

[gusty bane]

thats only if you want a job in pure maths

[hidden heart]

true

[gusty bane]

indeed 😍

[hidden heart]

can always become a sellout

[gusty bane]

real 😔

i wish sellout options werent as bad as they were

[hidden heart]

will you start a revolution alongside me?

[gusty bane]

indeed

there is no recourse for this vicious world

we require a reset

[hidden heart]

perfect

join the party

[gusty bane]

🥳

[ebon moth]

Anyone else get the brown email?

[jade stag]

Yes

[fresh pebble]

yeah

[marsh epoch]

Y’all

I’m kinda freaking out

Cuz I got this email from Brown:

And then I checked my portal

And it says “Waived” for Mid Year report instead of “Received”

Even though my counsellor sent it in literally in front of me

What do I do????????

[vestal lava]

This is how you know bro is a humanities major

Karl Marx mf

[vestal lava]

Nothing

It doesn’t matter

[vestal lava]

11.7%

You guys yapped too much im not reading that but all i will say is that Sylvia is prob wrong if there was any argument taking place 🔥🔥🔥

[timid zenith]

what does the bourgeois have to do with education

[marsh epoch]

But doesn’t this mean they literally didn’t receive my mid year report?

[timid zenith]

they are the new not old money

bro legit just spoke nonsense

[vestal lava]

They prob would’ve messaged your counselor for it or put incomplete

Just ask your counselor tomorrow

[vestal lava]

Yeah he don’t know anything

[timid zenith]

was it legit just yap

[vestal lava]

Idk I didn’t read it

But probably is if it’s sylvia

[timid zenith]

[vestal lava]

Phil + lit art major so it checks out

[timid zenith]

dawg if this is the average brown student I am cooked

the only thing protecting me is my browness

[vestal lava]

you’re probably not gonna get in anyways given plme acc rate tho lol so you’re chilling

[timid zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/staring-black-man-staring-black-men-staring-black-men-men-staring-gif-25096788

[timid zenith]

[vestal lava]

who cares

[timid zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/eating-hunter-franklin-the-oval-snack-time-chewing-gif-21178020

[timid zenith]

DEI

Med schools give good rates to brown people

though again this is plme

[vestal lava]

bro what

[timid zenith]

so

[timid zenith]

not joking

[vestal lava]

if by brown you mean asia

then you’re smoking

[timid zenith]

nah

[vestal lava]

what’s your source

[timid zenith]

idk if it applies to plme tho

ik it applies to med schools in general

but idk if bs/md's programs are affected

[vestal lava]

i asked for the source not if it applies to plme

[timid zenith]

source for med schools giving leeway to brown people?

[vestal lava]

yeah

youre a dumbass

i saw the dm

[timid zenith]

💀

[vestal lava]

u gotta be more specific with your colors dawg

[timid zenith]

calling a guy a dumbass

for a miscommunication

[vestal lava]

🤝

[timid zenith]

what did I do dawg

what did i do

[vestal lava]

ok whatever

Good luck

[timid zenith]

waht did bro mean by this

[vestal lava]

mm yea maybe I shouldn’t say that

it doesn’t apply to you

[timid zenith]

idk whats going on

[marsh epoch]

My counsellor definitely sent it in cuz he did it through common app and all my other unis got it + he literally did it in front of me

[last idol]

According to my hs counselor, my brown admissions officer reached out to him about me in february

Good thing? Bad thing? My interpretation is that its like mid and just means I was still in the running as a few weeks ago ig

Idk what to make of it rly

[timid zenith]

Should I submit my profolio video

I forgot to do it in the deadline

[last idol]

…

[timid zenith]

💀💀💀

[timid zenith]

I mean there's no pain no gain right?

Might as well

[last idol]

Atp no imo

[last idol]

I mean

True in that the more info they have the better

[timid zenith]

I'm already Cooked for plme

[last idol]

But its also not a good look to submit smth hella last minute

[timid zenith]

We manifesting plme brah

[last idol]

Like that’s endemic of other characters flaws (valid or not)

[last idol]

Same

[timid zenith]

You applied?

[last idol]

Yep

[timid zenith]

I hate competition

[last idol]

Applied ED and got deferred

😭

[timid zenith]

What's your stats

[last idol]

I know this whole server is ppl kinda describing their applications but I find the stats comparison game to be a waste of time

Theyre quite solid but its all rng man

If I do say so myself

[timid zenith]

Yea I need that video

I'm cooked without it

I'm just a piece of paper

[last idol]

Yeah despite being a pain in the ass to make, Im very partial to the idea of a video portfolio

[timid zenith]

I'm cooked

[last idol]

Allows you to show you are not a robot incapable of emotion and authenticity

[last idol]

Those arent the words of a Champion

Never back down never what?

[timid zenith]

Never give up

[last idol]

🫡

We will get in, cadet

[timid zenith]

Actually

Well

@last idol I got a fat ass excuse

As to why I haven't done it

Or I should say submit it

I shouldn't have said do it

I should have said submit it

I'm fuvked either way tho

[last idol]

Yknow Im gonna be honest

If u dont even believe in urself u might be fucked then yeah

Personally, I just reread my essays and I have decided that I will be getting in

[timid zenith]

Nahh it's cuz

[last idol]

Putting it out there

[timid zenith]

My hard drive that had the video

Got water damage

And shit nearly corrupted like 20 times

[last idol]

You cant say ur “manifesting PLME” yet meanwhile say things like this lol

[timid zenith]

Well it depends on whether or not I get these hard drive working

I might as well make a new video at this point

[last idol]

Like I said I rly dont think its a good look to submit smth so last minute, gives off a bad impression in my opinion

But you do you obv

[timid zenith]

Well I mean what was I suppose to do

[last idol]

The video is optional

They likely just think you opted not to do it, which is literally fine its an optional piece

They wouldnt hold that against you

They would simply have less information to examine for you than applicants who did submit one

[timid zenith]

@last idol if I get waitlisted from brown am I autorejected from plme?

[last idol]

They dont even read your PLME essays until you’ve been fully accepted to the college

The way I understand it is that if you’ve been waitlisted, they’ve not yet judged your PLME essays at all

[timid zenith]

Hmm

[last idol]

Could be mistaken

[timid zenith]

I really hope

I get in

[last idol]

Same

Anyways gn

[vocal saddle]

On what basis — don’t think the committee cares about the timestamp — only about the information at hand when decisions are made.

[steep wasp]

Yeah but they specifically say to submit the video within 1 week of receiving the portal and it's a good two months after that deadline....

That's like asking if you can submit your common app rn and expect them to consider it

It is an optional video yes but ideally if you intend to submit it, you do so before the deadline

There's technically nothing stopping you from submitting after but i do think it definitely makes a difference when you submit if it's two months after the deadline

Like if it were 1 or 2 days after the deadline it wouldn't matter as much

[vocal saddle]

Your call — I personally won’t compare supplements/optionals to the very deadline for submitting application for the program

[rich mist]

Submit and let us know how it turns out. Could be good info going forward.

[steep wasp]

so basically let them take the bait to see whether it can be done💀

[worldly shale]

!brown

Wait why isn’t this active

Didn’t brown send out an email confirming the time

[steep wasp]

you can use !ivyday in #🤖-bot-commands

[hidden heart]

literally it's the upper class who have influence over education and therefore what is taught and available to learn

[hidden heart]

lmfao what

harvard student moment

[hidden heart]

and why tf does new or old money have to do with anything when capital itself determines educational resources and availabillity and has control over it

[timid zenith]

So does anything in life pal

[steel marlin]

!ivyday

7 days, 7 hours left

[hidden heart]

well that's my exact critique lmfao

of capitalism

[timid zenith]

🗣️ this aint capitalism

this just world

[hidden heart]

bro

what

how tf is the world limited to a capitalistic construction

[timid zenith]

cuz its right

[hidden heart]

eh

[timid zenith]

but in honesty because anything proposed to fix this issue just backfires horribly

it is what it is though

[hidden heart]

that's literally because capitalists attempt to hold the status quo and tries to ruin anything else

[timid zenith]

quite the opposite

[hidden heart]

and because revolution is a horrible way to fix anything

[hidden heart]

you're trolling

surely

[timid zenith]

capitalists hate capitalism
