[small parrot]

You bet. Our stage last night aced it. Brown‘s loss to not have me 😎

[uncut vigil]

Fuck brown

[vestal lava]

[dense badger]

[tulip glacier]

Yall how possible is it to get off of the brown waitlist

[meager raven]

im speechless guys

i was deferred ed

but got in

[tulip glacier]

CONGRATS

Didn't you just commit to tufts?

[ivory sonnet]

i think brown only waitlists a few so you have a higher chance tan usual to get into brown

[tulip glacier]

Ok sick

[ivory sonnet]

im hoping too man

[tulip glacier]

We'll write a fire loci

[steel marlin]

I GOT INTO BROWN

[ivory sonnet]

CONGRATS

[steel pine]

Got rejected from Brown

But accepted to Cornell 😎

SEE YAH

[jade heart]

CONGRATSSS

[meager raven]

no i was going to

but now

it's harvard or brown

[tulip glacier]

harvard too? damn

congrats thats insane

[limpid cradle]

is there a brown co28 discord

[tired shadow]

COME TO BROWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[meager raven]

it's 44k more than harvard!

but i applied ED to brown

i love brown

ugh idk

[jagged tinsel]

when do they send emails to accepted students because im scared to open my decision

[steep wasp]

Oh that's a lot I'd definitely choose harvard

What major?

[meager raven]

cs and government

[steep wasp]

yeah both are amazing but you probably don't wanna start your career in debt

[meager raven]

you're right

[steep wasp]

appeal for aid at brown and try to use Harvard's offer to negotiate(??? Does it work that way bcuz I've heard some schools match) but if not go to harvard

a <10k difference is usually okay but 44k is too much when you have a school of the same level imo

but yeah do what's best for you!

you can always make back money but you can't make back experiences so there's also that

[vestal lava]

Harvard

[meager raven]

lol

well i knew you were gonna say that

[vestal lava]

brown people are gonna say brown, harvard people will say harvard

realistically speaking, given the cost difference and your intended majors, harvard is likely the better choice

though you could appeal aid

i cant see a world in which brown is gonna shill u 44k

they’re not loaded like us 🔥🔥

also for cs gov …

harvard gaps ???

[meager raven]

you're right

for CS and gov it'll probably be harvard

ill lyk

[vestal lava]

👍

[faint wadi]

appeal to financial aid office and include every detail of harvard’s offer if ur seriously considering brown. they will match it for sure; when i talked to financial aid, they said the primary reason for people to get large appeals is because they match whatever another ivy gives

[vestal lava]

meanwhile i ask upenn to match harvard and they give me 1k more and say fuck off

😄😵‍💫

wharton mfs

[faint wadi]

thats what they told me but i dont have personal experience w that as brown was my cheapest option sooo no guarantees 🫠

[iron sandal]

I have a question

when you asked for more aid, did they make you appeal ur whole package

or u just emailed and they said here u go?😭

I’m hoping for a little more aid if possible, but don’t wanna appeal and lose money somehow🙁

[vestal lava]

you’re already commits to brown no?

what’s your situation

can you explain

do you just want more aid from brown?

[vestal lava]

this will never happen regardless of what u do tho

[ivory hollow]

Go to Harvard bro

[amber girder]

rejected

[vestal lava]

yooo

i heard about you

you’re like my doppelgänger

[brave sapphire]

mind sending it to me as well?

[rich mist]

i got in

forgot i applied

wtf

[dense fiber]

LMAO OMG

congratulations 🤩 🤩

[rich mist]

tyty but i kinda dont know what brown is good at

😭

[tulip glacier]

literally everything what

congrats!

[rich mist]

oh i thought they specialize in smth

but thank youu

[tulip glacier]

brown is p well rounded

rlly good science, apma, humanities

[amber girder]

🤫

[silver hill]

Bro ofc I get into brown and these mfs want me to pay like 70k a year im cooked

[iron sandal]

yeah I got in ED and my financial aid package was solid, but yk how people always say you should always ask for more even if ur package is good

sooo I emailed them asking just if any additional aid could be provided and they just said I’d have to appeal my whole financial aid, not sure if it’ll surmount to anything as it seems appeals are for changes in situation

[vestal lava]

well

in my case i had aid letters from other schools, but you don’t have those because ED

pretty sure the only way to get more aid for ED is to just ask but there usually isn’t an incentive to provide more aid unless you have other offers or there’s a situation change

they wouldn’t reduce the amount of aid they give no matter what because it’s a shitty move

ok ngl brown would pull something like that

does that answer the question

[amber girder]

wait

are you the luck that attends Harvard?

I think there are multiple lucks

[vestal lava]

yeah

and yeah there are multiple lucks

[amber girder]

who's the original?

[vestal lava]

im the original

[amber girder]

hmm

I feel like all of them would say this

[vestal lava]

up to you whether you want to believe me or not

i gain nothing from lying

[amber girder]

true

I believe

[vestal lava]

did you get into harvard?

[amber girder]

I did!!!

really excited

also got into Yale and Columbia

difficult choice

I already know what you'll recommend

[vestal lava]

well, judging by our mutual server

i would say harvard is better than yale for that field

[amber girder]

tbh, I am leaning heavily towards Harvard

always have, always will

[vestal lava]

ok

[amber girder]

Oh, you're CS

[vestal lava]

nah

im a philosophy major

[amber girder]

wait

[vestal lava]

native american studies

im ex-cs

[amber girder]

that's interesting

what made you choose philosophy

and why did you leave CS

[vestal lava]

for starters, i realized im gapped

[amber girder]

same tbh

[vestal lava]

and that devin x gpt-5 will take my job

[amber girder]

lmao

[vestal lava]

and i realized that im slaving away just to work on a feature at X company that nobody will ever use

[amber girder]

I feel like switching to phil though is a large leap

[vestal lava]

rather would do something more fulfilling and fun

[amber girder]

like the two disciplines aren't that related

did you switch before attending

or did you take CS classes first year

[vestal lava]

ive always had a soft spot for the humanities i would say

like columbia is probably my favorite ivy unironically

even though i am at harvard

[vestal lava]

i took classes first year and also had prior knowledge before coming in

[amber girder]

you said you were gapped

wouldn't you be even more so switching to a major you know less about

[vestal lava]

surprisingly, no

the phil courses here are really great

and there aren’t 6000 people applying for a single job

[amber girder]

real

[vestal lava]

so it levels out to the point where i dont think being slightly behind will make a difference in the grand scheme of things

[amber girder]

well, gl!!

see you at Visitas maybe!!

[vestal lava]

i won’t be there but yeah thanks

[amber girder]

np, next year then!

[vestal lava]

mm yeah

start pulling out the phil books this summer

and join me

[amber girder]

hmm

I don't know much about phil to be honest

[vestal lava]

neither did i

and since you’re probably smarter than me, i dont think you’ll have an issue picking it up

[amber girder]

what books would you recommend

[vestal lava]

true happiness and enlightenment lies in the humanities my friend, stem is just for worldly pleasures

[amber girder]

I love STEM tho

always thought I was a STEM person

[vestal lava]

so did i

now look at me

[vestal lava]

ill give you my favorite book when you come to visitas

[amber girder]

but you won't be there

so you say

[vestal lava]

only on sunday i wont be there because it’s my little sister’s birthday

wait

it ends 5 pm monday

[dense fiber]

luck vs fortune 🤔

[vestal lava]

hmm

[amber girder]

yes

[vestal lava]

ill leave it in the science center with a stamp on it

and ill give u the coordinates

[amber girder]

lmao

[vestal lava]

if you’re dedicated enough you’ll find it

[amber girder]

and pray someone doesn't take it

[vestal lava]

otherwise there’s no point in you even having it

[amber girder]

true

dw, I will find it

trust

[vestal lava]

ok i look forward to it

[amber girder]

🤔

I have a feeling

that maybe

you might be messing with me

[vestal lava]

nah

i gain nothing from lying to a high schooler

especially not at 2 am in the morning

[amber girder]

hmm

that kinda makes it worse

[waxen crystal]

lol

[amber girder]

you could be doing it just for pranks

I could show up and find some random book

[vestal lava]

nah

you’re overthinking this

[amber girder]

nothing to do with phil

alright, alright

gotta trust somebody

[waxen crystal]

look at the column on the right it says they're in college

[vestal lava]

exactly

im not a finance bro

[amber girder]

ye, he's at Harvard

[vestal lava]

im not trying to profit off you

or sell your info to the corporation

[amber girder]

maybe I should sell out to finance

thoughts?

[vestal lava]

that’s the lowest of the low

worse than tech

[amber girder]

😭

I mean

what's so bad about it?

[ebon moth]

Goodbye to this thread

It’s been well

[vestal lava]

it’s meaningless work

soulless

you make powerpoints all day

60-80/hr weeks

just to make less than a swe

who works 35 hr/wk

and all for what?

[amber girder]

what's swe?

[vestal lava]

to line the pockets of the upper class and live off the scraps they give you?

[vestal lava]

software engineer

[amber girder]

yeah, that sounds pretty terrible

but then why do so many people do it

something attracts them

[vestal lava]

because it’s easy to get in as long as you went to a t20

and have a solid gpa

not much effort needed

so you can chill during college

[amber girder]

you mean to like business school

[vestal lava]

no, you can get into finance/consulting straight out of ugrad

[amber girder]

oh, I see

[vestal lava]

the salaries are high because they’re buying your youth

[amber girder]

so they just take the easy route

instead of working towards what they actually enjoy

[vestal lava]

yeah, that’s one way to put it

[amber girder]

btw, if it's 2am, shouldn't you be asleep?

[vestal lava]

i’ve realized over the last few months that there’s more to life than money lol

[amber girder]

facts

[vestal lava]

and im starting to realize that i dont value the things i think i did and instead want something else, prompting my switch to phil

[vestal lava]

tomorrow’s friday

[amber girder]

you have school off?

what time do you normally go to sleep as a Harvard student?

[vestal lava]

no but it’s friday

[vestal lava]

used to be around 1-2 am last semester when i was cs

now usually in bed and knocked out at 11

[void lodge]

Where are people getting t10 and t20 from? What list are they following? Just heard someone refer to northwestern as a t10

Doesn’t sound right

[amber girder]

pretty early

[vestal lava]

usnews college rankings and northwestern t10 sounds about right

[amber girder]

what time do you wake up?

[vestal lava]

8 am

[amber girder]

nice

so you don't have to wake up early on Fridays, or...

[vestal lava]

friday is synonymous with freeday

[void lodge]

Huh weird, Northwestern is tied with Brown. This makes my decision even harder 😔

[amber girder]

is that for everyone?

[vestal lava]

no, just me

[amber girder]

nice

[vestal lava]

no humanities course is held on fridays

ever

[amber girder]

three-day weekends🔥

[vestal lava]

rank doesn’t matter

who knows it might change next year

just pick whichever you want to go to more

[amber girder]

humanities calling my name 😭

[vestal lava]

it’s genuinely so so amazing

an untapped world that im exploring day by day

full of endless possibilities

(can you tell im a humanities major)

[amber girder]

sounds like you're passionate

yes

did you get your housing results?

[vestal lava]

yeah

[amber girder]

ooh

what house?

[vestal lava]

winthrop

🦁

[amber girder]

nice

I don't know much about that one

[vestal lava]

they have good sports team and they’re right next to the courts which is good for me

and they have good food

and it’s renovated

i like it

[amber girder]

is it far from the main campus?

I know there are some that are a ways away

[vestal lava]

it’s a 5 minute walk from the yard

[amber girder]

nice

what's the worst house in your opinion?

[vestal lava]

probably cabot house

20 minutes from main campus

garbage food

either that or kirkland

anyways im gonna head out

make sure to look for my phil book during viistas

more info to come <333333 ❤️😘

[amber girder]

alright, will do

[amber girder]

❤️

probably go to sleep

gn!!!

[vestal lava]

later

[modest hollow]

bro same tho

tgheres no physical way to lose money after an appeal right ?

aso how do we approach them

[mystic meteor]

i will say

this has to have been the most afk acceptance letter

the font is so small

deadass thought i ggot rejected for the first 0.75 seconds after seeing the letter pop up

[steep wasp]

💀 💀 💀

can we see it

[mystic meteor]

ye

it's uhh

like it's normal but there's zero fx or anything

ig i could have just looked at the "Congratulations" but it's really quite small

lmfao

[steep wasp]

lol

was there confetti

[tender condor]

i got confetti

i think

i actually dont remember

[mystic meteor]

there wasnt

[tender condor]

maybe i was just special.

[dense thunder]

Brown going minimalist this year

i was expecting a stop motion or something

[small parrot]

Damn I’m still so sad after finishing today’s job realising I got rejected… probably need some sports for dopamine now… 🥲

[small parrot]

Damn I find myself breaking down. Wasn‘t expecting I could react to a rejection like this at all.

[mystic meteor]

i mean i hesitate to say "it's ok" because it's not like that would solve anything

but if there's a nugget of knowledge that i uncovered for myself before i opened my letters today

it's that i'm the exact same organism that i was before i received the information in those letters

today, at 4:37 a.m. CDT on march 29th, whether accepted or rejected, im the same entity i was just 11 hours ago, while i was still afraid and nervous with every door to the future possibly open, but at once also possibly open

you're just as smart and great as you were yesterday

and when you're ready, flip brown a fat middle finger because there's nothing they can do to diminish the knowledge that resides in your brain and the experiences you've burnt into yourself

bc ur u

COMPLETE wordvomit sorry for taking up so much space

[small parrot]

YES WE ARE.

I went playing an hour of tennis and recovered a bit. In the trough but stopped falling.

[small parrot]

ty for vomiting

[mystic meteor]

true. verbal hangover now

[frail ocean]

hey guys if there’s a brown insta gc let me know pls!!

[steel marlin]

yes pls im also interested!!

[wicked glacier]

is there a brown 28 discord server

[copper imp]

Wharton or Brown?

[meager raven]

hmm

for business?

[void lodge]

How’s the cs at brown?

[ivory hollow]

Wharton

[dense thunder]

CS or Engineering at Brown?

[iron sandal]

WS is one of the more popular majors, I’d go with that!

[copper imp]

For economics/finance

[ebon moth]

Guys brown is so nice

The Board of Admission has completed its evaluation of nearly 50,000 applications to the Class of 2028, and it is with great regret that we inform you that we are unable to offer you a place in the incoming class at Brown University.

We want to acknowledge the time and attention you devoted to your application, and that we were thoroughly impressed by the student and person we got to know through your own words and the praise of your recommenders. Your accomplishments in and out of the classroom are undoubtedly an indicator of the great work you will do as you continue your academic journey.

Please know that our decision is not a reflection of the clear potential represented in your application, but is indicative of the selectivity of Brown’s admission process. We wish we had more space to extend offers to the inspiring group we met in this year’s applicant pool, and hope you will come away from the college process confident in your qualifications.

Though we are very aware that this is not the outcome you hoped for, please know that your application was fully and carefully considered. We encourage you to celebrate all you have achieved and take pride in the talent and tenacity we know you will bring to the next steps in your education. We truly wish you the best as you continue to pursue your college plans.

On behalf of the Board of Admission, I want to thank you for taking the time to prepare your application, and for your interest in Brown.

This rejection letter was the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me

[peak sphinx]

Easily Wharton

[vestal lava]

wharton for sure

unless there's a major cost difference or something

[rough river]

Is there an admitted students discord?

[copper imp]

Ismnt Brown economics department pretty solid?

[vestal lava]

sure, but wharton is just objectively on another level (and it always has been)

https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/business-finance

if you know for sure you want to do econ/finance, wharton is the place you'd want to be

[vestal lava]

@ornate ether

[vestal lava]

and im unbiased because i go to neither brown or wharton

[ornate ether]

Wharton way better than brown

Like not even close

For finance/consulting at least

Penn just has a much, much better network in the corporate workd

[peak sphinx]

bruh wharton clears penn in every field

brown btw is the worst amongst the ivies

[void lodge]

In what?

[vestal lava]

no way brown get dunked on in its own thread

[mystic meteor]

ye that is crazy

[mystic meteor]

noob school amirite!

[gilded haven]

🔛🔝

[iron sandal]

shush

penn bias

smh

[peak sphinx]

in finance but its still better then 99.9% of other schools

i was jus making a comparison

for the dude

[tranquil prawn]

I was waitlisted, but that's better than what I was expecting lmao

like I already mentally accepted my rejection weeks before opening my letter, so it was a nice surprise

[mystic meteor]

no but same i was ilke ye it's not happening lol

[copper imp]

Thanks!!

[tulip glacier]

same! its actually kinda exciting

[mystic meteor]

my favorite part of college apps was when brown said “im gonna brown” and then browned all over my deferral letter

[rich mist]

bro lost his browning streak

[rich mist]

is there a gc for admitted students?

[obsidian pecan]

Does brown take Loci?

Pls say yes or ill cry

[tulip glacier]

yes im p sure

me and you both

[obsidian pecan]

Worddd

[vestal lava]

do you love brown that much or do you just hate princeton more

[obsidian pecan]

Idk people are making Princeton seem kinda scary

[foggy kindle]

the ppl that r making princeton seem scary r probably premed ppl worried about grade deflation

r u premed by chance

[obsidian pecan]

sigh...yeah

[foggy kindle]

hmm yeah that is a tough choice

what program did you get into for penn

[obsidian pecan]

Molecular bio

[foggy kindle]

honestly u cant rlly go wrong with either school then academically

go with whichever location you like more and decide if you are into ptons eating club culture

social scenes are definitely different at both schools so that would be pretty big

safer choice would be pton mainly because most premeds dont do med school so if you want to change i think princeton makes it easier

[obsidian pecan]

yeah that makes sense. I'm def gonna tour and see which one speaks to me more. Also, props to u for knowing so much lmao. I need to do more research

[foggy kindle]

honestly if i were deciding between pton and penn i wouldnt know which one to choose either lmao

[obsidian pecan]

lmfaoo yeah the struggle is real

[foggy kindle]

also regarding ur waitlist loci concern i dont think brown is worth it without plme btw bc i dont think you would end up choosing brown over princeton

unless u rlly want that grade inflation lol

[obsidian pecan]

u rlly think so?

[obsidian pecan]

BrownU kids are so cool tho

[foggy kindle]

yeah i would def 100% still send a loci tho just in case (don't worry about "taking someone's spot" because they can definitely slightly overadmit shown by them taking a ton of kids during transfers)

[foggy kindle]

fr

princeton and penn both feel too elitist 😂 (sorry but not sorry)

[obsidian pecan]

sounds gooood

[obsidian pecan]

no ur so right

[tender condor]

i would absolutely choose brown over princeton no plme

grade inflation + less of an asshole culture

more enjoyable life

[mystic meteor]

• weed (ingame) (mods please let me survive)

[foggy kindle]

dude everyone that ive met from princeton has been the biggest asshole u have no idea

but yeah for sure if u dont mind the weaker academic scene go with brown u rlly cant go wrong with any of them

[noble scarab]

deadass??

[pale kiln]

Anyone who applied from the middle east here? :)

[rich mist]

I'm from Syria :))

[steel marlin]

purr

im from tunisia!

can i have your insta @

[hoary willow]

does anyone know how good the odds of getting out of the waitlist is

[pale kiln]

Hiii, from the UAE here,

are you looking to commit?

[dense thunder]

is there an instagram group for admitted students ?

[copper imp]

Pretty low and unpredictable. Could be as low as zero. Time to fall in love with places that accepted us!

[hoary willow]

yupps

its really more of a should I actually pour my heart and soul into a loci

or should i just send one in and not think about it

if that makes sense

since idw to wasste my time if there isnt a good chance

[copper imp]

I personally think this stuff makes very little difference. It is a random process as such and even more so in WL stage. Send in a LOCI and move on. Heart and Soul may not be worth it! NYU is fantastic. I was just there yesterday. What energy in Washington square Park! It was amazing.

[idle grove]

hows brown waitlist

[rich mist]

still deciding between brown and columbia 🫠

[nimble flint]

Hihi is there an admitted students gc or discord and can someone pls add me 🙇‍♀️

[ivory sonnet]

lowkey im pretty sure brown has one of the highest wl acceptance rates cuz they only waitlist a few

[vestal lava]

from 2022-2023

they admitted 2521 this year

https://admission.brown.edu/sites/default/files/About the WAITLIST.docx - Google Docs.pdf

brown claims they expect 1000-1500 students to accept their wl offer (for co27, but we can assume it’s similar for co28), bringing the wl -> accept rate to <2-5%

👍

though some years they admitted 100 so who knows

last 2 years were <30 tho

[tulip glacier]

is that higher or lower compared to the previous few years

[vestal lava]

lower than the last 3 years by 40-140

[tulip glacier]

does that mean anything?

i heard that colleges may have more spaces for waitlists this year because of new admissions criteria

[vestal lava]

no, it seems like natural variation

2521 vs 2562 is like ... nothing

class of 27 had 2678 or smth though, which is slightly higher, but overall these admit numbers seem to be normal for brown

[vestal lava]

what 'new crtieria' ?

are you talking about supreme court?

[tulip glacier]

yeah

[vestal lava]

oh hmm

[tulip glacier]

why are my messages disappearing

[vestal lava]

you cant send the message, itll auto-delete it

if yu say double a

[tulip glacier]

ohhhh i see

[vestal lava]

it goes boom

aa

oh

[tulip glacier]

yeah thats what i meant lol

[vestal lava]

yeah

[tulip glacier]

i might just be a little delulu too but its ok

[vestal lava]

anyways, dont try to bypass the filter (i learend the hard way)

it wont affect anything i would say

unless people decline brown's admissions offer for other reasons, which you can probably guess what im referring to, i think wl acceptance will be low as usual

[tulip glacier]

right

im honesty just honored to get the offer in the first place

although in comparison to other top schools brown tends to always admit a few atleast

many schools dont take anyone from the waitlist

[vestal lava]

thats not true

cornell takes 100+

penn also takes 100+

[tulip glacier]

i didnt meant the only

like atleast it always takes some yk

[tulip glacier]

ooh i didnt know that

[vestal lava]

oh, yeah i guess you can say that

[tulip glacier]

but also penn and cornell are bigger in general

yeah

[vestal lava]

from 2022-2023 penn

[tulip glacier]

thats still like 5% lol

i mean brown's percentage is not that diff

[vestal lava]

theyve all been around 5% for the past 2-3 years or so

we'll see what happens

i dont go to brown anyways so i dont know why im still here

[tulip glacier]

wait i thought u did

or was that the other luck

[vestal lava]

none of the lucks go to brown

[mystic meteor]

💀

fraud

[stone ravine]

anyone coming for adoch? (the april 12 one)

[meager raven]

i'll be there!

[pale kiln]

Anyone know if the brown presidents address will be recorded? It's 3am where I'm at 😭

[gilded haven]

i am

[gilded haven]

no idea but there may be multiple dates

[steel marlin]

i'd come if brown pays for my flight to providence

[dense fiber]

im in the zoom rn and they're recording it!

[obsidian pecan]

If I go, ima be the first one you’ve met that isn’t (I hope)

[obsidian pecan]

Thank you for your big brain

[rich mist]

wait

to those who got in brown

did yall do the video cause my insecure ass didnt 😭

[foggy kindle]

did you get into brown without the video 😲

[rich mist]

ig so

[foggy kindle]

ive seen a few that got in without the video

i think the thing with the video is that everyone tries to do it but most ppl dont do a good job on it and it ultimately ruins their app

no video submission hack for brown!? 👀 have to gatekeep from '29s

[rich mist]

shitpost your essays

[foggy kindle]

lol answering why brown with something about the color brown 😂

[rich mist]

not really

i just kinda

researched what the absolute worst rated classes were in brown

and said that i really wanted to take classes there to enhance my experience at brown

[foggy kindle]

thats actually genius

so r u going to brown

[rich mist]

nah

in all honesty i should have taken college admissions more seriously

[foggy kindle]

browns never accepting someone without a video again lmao

bro just ruined it for '29

[foggy kindle]

i feel like the more seriously u take it the worse ur results r

[rich mist]

ig thats true

i saw my reach schools as gambling tickets and never really put much thought into it besides what i felt at the moment of writing

its a bad mindset i know but its what i did for my apps

[foggy kindle]

me too and guess what

[rich mist]

for my safeties i tried harder for them because i didnt want to lose them if it failed

[foggy kindle]

i got into my ea school then proceeded to get rejected from all my rd

i did my ea last minute and took way longer for rd lmao

[rich mist]

oh what ea

[foggy kindle]

but its genuinely so confusing its like they can sniff out when ur desperate

[rich mist]

ah i see

congrats man

[foggy kindle]

thank you

[rich mist]

you see

i didnt do jack at all for the midyears

so i got auto reject hehehe

[foggy kindle]

LMAO same

luckily we finished on one of the easier cycles

i think in 5 years itll be 90% luck now its only like 70% luck

[rich mist]

more like 90% nepotism

the stories i be hearing is saddening

you can do everything just to be beaten by a kid who has daddy's money

then theres kids who are like

sweating their asses off trying to do amie and oly physics while i didnt hear jackshit at all until after college apps were over

[foggy kindle]

yeah this is so true

colleges r always like "oh we care abt context"

clearly not true when ur still taking a fuck ton from certain schools and rating ECs on a numerical scale with the same criteria for everyone

[rich mist]

exactly

[foggy kindle]

obv the richer kids r gonna do much better on ECs which is like 50% of admissions at most t10s

and then private school teachers always write amazing recs

unless ur like rlly rlly bad

[rich mist]

there was this one kid whos mom knew the aos in some prestigious uni and she would nag them to accept her son

you have no idea how mad i got when i heard that

[foggy kindle]

bro the founder of victoria secret donated at least $50M to harvard to accept his 4 kids

[rich mist]

nah thats crazy

this is why i hate harvard

i dont like most ivies tbh

brown is cool though

[foggy kindle]

fr like if they rlly wanna admit a diverse class make everyone submit their FA on time then evaluate it as part of the application for proper context

like they hold EFC 0 and no aid to basically the same standards wtf

[foggy kindle]

brown basketball goes hard

[rich mist]

ong bro you cant compete with kids who are children of billionaires

they have all the world

the efc 0 kids dont

[foggy kindle]

hey ur going to hustlers so ur for sure gonna become a billionaire

top business program beating wharton

[rich mist]

facts man

i accepted hustlers they didnt accept me

[foggy kindle]

😔 gap year and reapply

[rich mist]

nah

i accepted them

i chose them

they didnt choose me

[foggy kindle]

at least you got brown 😔

[rich mist]

tru

[mortal iris]

I didn’t submit a video!

[tulip glacier]

When you submit a loci who are you supposed to send it to? the admissions office in general or your AO

[noble scarab]

My video was ass

[tender condor]

i didn't

i mean

i didn't do the video

[pale kiln]

I did actually, didnt' spend too much time on it and submitted it on the extended deadline, super wholesome video i think that didn't take too long to edit. Watched it again just now and realized that i had a spelling error in the middle of the video, but well, i'm not complaining 😅

[void lodge]

No my travel grant is only for the 18th for some reason

[idle grove]

[ivory sonnet]

yearly waitlist numbers

on commondataset

ivys like cornell waitlist like 3-4k

[idle grove]

off waitlist

[ivory sonnet]

[idle grove]

[noble scarab]

[obsidian pecan]

ENOUGHHHH

[mystic meteor]

u dont know the tech.

the truth is that they don't defer/waitlist because they don't like u

they defer/waitlist bc they're so down subterranean that they want to reread ur application again .

now u have received the waitlistpill.

[noble scarab]

😮 😮 😮

[mystic meteor]

this is the truth .

idk my classmate said that to me when i got deferred ED and then i got in

so it's legitimate tech

[noble scarab]

shit makes sense my 2 dream schools waitlisted me and my other dream school rejected me (theyre playing hard to get)

[mystic meteor]

it's true

they're being a little uwu about it

💀

[noble scarab]

[tender condor]

= >~< =

[steep wasp]

lol im the opposite if a school waitlists me I won't go even if I get off

you don't want me i don't want you

[mystic meteor]

im a turbocoper

i feel the same way but my classmate was really nice and said that to me like 2 days before the 28th

and then it came true

so

[steep wasp]

[steep wasp]
