[devout mirage]

bros cracked

[cunning osprey]

thats what im saying

he needs to spill the beans

[exotic mortar]

if you shitpost often you start to shitpost faster

[devout mirage]

my stanford essays though are my best pieces of work

i feel like if i ed ill also waste my months of grinding i did to perfect those

[quasi kayak]

same omfg

[native hatch]

i wrote my columbia essays

in 30 min to 2h

💀

[cunning osprey]

yo dafuq

send secrets

what are u guys eating

send me that shit

[native hatch]

just splice from other prompts

[quasi kayak]

they’re only 150 words and i can’t fit ANYTHING INTOT JEM

i had an idea but there is literally no space 😭

[native hatch]

get creative

[quasi kayak]

oh i am

i’m cooking

[devout mirage]

do yk what double majoring is like at colymbia

[native hatch]

yes that is me

but you can’t double major in seas unless you do a 3 + 2 or a 4 + 1 program

[devout mirage]

could u do like: cs + operations research

[native hatch]

ya

i think so

is operations in seas or cc

cs is in cc

and seas

[quasi kayak]

operations is in seas

[devout mirage]

seas

so u can double major engineering degrees basically?

[native hatch]

oh

no clue

wtf is operations research

[devout mirage]

IT Manager

[native hatch]

ohhhh

that’s like what my dad did

ic

[wise haven]

its 1 am

go to bed

[native hatch]

i have class at 10

i’m fine

i’ll sleeep soon

[wise haven]

i have to wake up at 5

6

teehee

[native hatch]

L

[devout mirage]

he couldve done applied math or computer science too

[wise haven]

im so fucked

[native hatch]

i wake up at 9

[devout mirage]

operations research does construction and stuff too

lots of stuff

[native hatch]

no my dad did something at a state school back in the somethings 90s i think

[devout mirage]

anything that involves operations

[wise haven]

oooo im interested

[native hatch]

i forgor

he does IT tho

[devout mirage]

i swear u can do any degree and do IT

my mom majored in business

and got into IT

[native hatch]

you can do that with most tech degrees tho

like

math -> cs or cs -> math or physics -> cs

xyz

[wise haven]

ge

ye

[native hatch]

a lot of fields are interchangeable

[devout mirage]

u can do quant with operations research too

[wise haven]

o

too bad im interested more in intelligent systems

[devout mirage]

what r u planning on becoming?

[devout mirage]

also an operations research thing

[wise haven]

oh

nice

[devout mirage]

theyre working ways on how to use ai to maximize operations research too

they basically look at things on the broader scale

the entire system

[wise haven]

does columbia have a cog sci major i can minor in

[native hatch]

astrophysicist or something in quantitive analysis/data analytics

[devout mirage]

u tryna be a quant??

[devout mirage]

if you do the bottom left you can start as a manager for engineering (prob need a masters too tho)

[native hatch]

teehee

[native hatch]

where do u find these

[devout mirage]

i just looked up columbia majors

[native hatch]

i didn’t know seas has them posted now

omg

they posted them

[devout mirage]

is this new

i hate how applied physics and applied math are the same major

[native hatch]

they’re not

lol

the dept is small tho

for both

i didn’t know FE was under operations

[quasi kayak]

cooked up like 2.5/4 supps god is good

[devout mirage]

theyre not?

[devout mirage]

LOOK

[native hatch]

financial engineering is crazy LMAO

https://ieor.columbia.edu/operations-research-financial-engineering-bsorfe

[devout mirage]

those guys gotta make bank

i can just imagine

[broken hound]

New favorite major

I’m running wall street with that

[devout mirage]

bruh they make this much in the ghetto part of colorado

[native hatch]

financial engineering is our jane street major

LMAO

[devout mirage]

whats that

wait

the firm?

that major feeds into jane street?

WTF

[native hatch]

yea

i mean not just that major tbh

FE is the sellout major for engineering

[devout mirage]

yea that was my backup

is it popular?

[native hatch]

idk

for people in seas typically like

cs

or ecee

is popular

same with bme meche

[devout mirage]

i wanted to do bme

but i heard its rough so idk

[native hatch]

idt it’s that rough

[devout mirage]

and bio is kicking my ass rn

[native hatch]

one of my really good friends is doing bme

i could forward questions to him if u want

he did do bio research in hs tho

[devout mirage]

like beforehand?

so he had some exposure im assuming?

[native hatch]

yeah

[devout mirage]

did it help him out?

i got an opportunity with a clinic for it actually but not in time for ED

so itd just be for experience

[native hatch]

that’s good

[devout mirage]

do you think itd help prepare for the school or nah

[native hatch]

probably not academics wise

but it’s a good opportunity

[cunning osprey]

List a selection of texts, resources and outlets that have contributed to your intellectual development
can this include language learning resources and apps?

also for youtube channels, do you just write the name of the youtube channel or the entire link

ex. Markiplier vs https://www.youtube.com/@markiplier

[wise haven]

Name bro

Please do not give them a link

[broken hound]

No way ur Markiplier

[vague basin]

lmaoo pasting a link is dumb asf

[cunning osprey]

getting my ass roasted 💀

mbmb

wait this list can be hella long

how long are yall lists

[wise haven]

alr abe i lied im submitting tmrw cause my sat score isnt on my pdf???

despite it supposedly being there??

[vague basin]

lmaoo thats weird

like they dont look at it?

[wise haven]

no they do

but its literally NOT ON my pdf

[vague basin]

wtf

[wise haven]

this is conflicting info

what the fuck???

[vague basin]

oh yh that makes sense

you have to confirm it on their portal and self report there

[wise haven]

im dead lost

[vague basin]

most test optional schools do that

[wise haven]

what?

[vague basin]

just submit ur fine

[wise haven]

oh

like its alr?

[vague basin]

yh

they make you report ur scores on the portal

[wise haven]

so testing just being this doenst matter?

[wise haven]

OHHH

[vague basin]

so ur fine

just submit and confirm it on the portal

[cunning osprey]

does columbia consider ap test scores?

[wise haven]

uhhh ik it like can count some as credit

so im submitting it

[cunning osprey]

where tho?

[vague basin]

they look at it but yh it only matters for credit

[cunning osprey]

i thought credit was for after admissions

like you would subit this summer

[vague basin]

yh they just cross reference the scores to ur classes

[wise haven]

alr my mom banned my from submitting until i ask my counselor to fact that abe

[vague basin]

so like if you got an 85 in ap physics but a 5 on the exam they might see that yk ur stuff etc

[wise haven]

so

...

tmrw it is!

[vague basin]

gl

[cunning osprey]

where do u submit ap test scores

[vague basin]

commonapp

[cunning osprey]

yea but where

unless im blind

[vague basin]

testing

[wise haven]

testing where it says "waht tpye of tests do u wish to report"

add ap

[cunning osprey]

oh shit i do be blind

mb

[wise haven]

gl

[cunning osprey]

can u put language learning apps and yt channels for the list supplemental?

[wise haven]

yeah

[quasi kayak]

yall should i put undeclared or poli sci in my third major spot if i dont have the space in the why major essay to talk about it?

i have a lot of interest in it w my ecs but idk if it would look weird not referenced in my essay

[vague basin]

just put it down

the third choice wont make or break ur app itll just show them ur interests

[foggy stump]

me applying to columbia for the masters program in 2028-2029:

[upbeat vine]

how do i self report standardized testing?

[weak delta]

just put it in the common app testing section

[upbeat vine]

says this

ignore uchicago

it's the same for columbia

[weak delta]

then prolly the college's portal

after submission

[upbeat vine]

mk

and can that be after november 1st

cause idk when i'll recieve that

[quasi kayak]

yes

they allow updated scores

[wise haven]

o k

[upbeat vine]

thank god

[restive ravine]

how many of yall got this

[wise haven]

Me

[fathom hawk]

nope

im not interested in columbia anyways now

[native hatch]

not me 😢

[quasi kayak]

L

MY SUPPS ARE DONE. PREPARE TO SEE ME IN MORNINGSIDE

[quasi kayak]

cs in seas?

[pliant wren]

ye

[quasi kayak]

ou..

[native hatch]

i will see u in morningside

[quasi kayak]

here’s hoping! idk what possessed me to casually put my top choice major as something that’s prob super competitive for no reason

[native hatch]

what did u put

[quasi kayak]

c.. creative writing….

[native hatch]

probably not super competitive

[quasi kayak]

oh on god? i was fearing that i would be fighting w ppl who have all of these accolades :( i just like writing

[hollow galleon]

holy shit finally submitted my app

so stressful

i can only pray now

[wise haven]

real

[quasi kayak]

i mentally ca t

idk why

it’s not going to get any better i just ca t

[simple iris]

anyone here applied for GS early action? spring 2024

[native hatch]

good luck! ✨

[native hatch]

you got this

[fathom hawk]

i dont want to fill out all the essays

considering that id pick my public options over it

[cunning osprey]

how long are yalls list supp

[hallow kelp]

full 100 words 💀

lemme count how many texts tho

like 18 texts but cuz im applying seas, I got 4 research papers that deadass took 54 words lmfao

[cunning osprey]

damn i have a good amount of youtube channels but theyre almost all considered one word

so i have like 18 words total

[cunning osprey]

bruh u reading research papers 💀 nice tho

[hallow kelp]

lmfao yea its cuz engineering kid lol

like is day 3/5 of my list is engineering stuff

and 2/5 are actual literature stuff

[cunning osprey]

id imagine research papers are high level tho, i havent seen a research paper accessible to regular hs students but maybe thats just me

[native hatch]

u put research papers on ur app

what

i mean i guess that’s fair, i think i just generally listed where i’d browse papers from

[cunning osprey]

bruh am i the odd one out who doesnt read research papers

[hallow kelp]

yeh i was thinking abt that but the specific papers i read r p niche so i wanted to highlihght my favorite ones lol

[hallow kelp]

nah ur normal im just weird af 💀

[broken hound]

Nobody reads research papers 😭

[hallow kelp]

praying cuz then ill atleast be a lil different lmfao

[native hatch]

i didn’t in hs

[broken hound]

🤓

POV: mfs who read research papers

[cunning osprey]

is there even a place for research papers that are accessible to hs students or even early undergrad students?

[native hatch]

ya arxiv

[cunning osprey]

arxiv??

[native hatch]

yeah

i read off of there

[cunning osprey]

ik what arxiv is but maybe i just dont browse enough to see the more accessible papers

all i see are papers with like at least undergrad+ knowledge needed

[hallow kelp]

Some researcher have pdfs or links to pdfs of their research papers in the descriptions of any yt vids from their lab

but a lot of the stuff I read was from paid journals cuz my school is lowk rich and has a subscription to like every major journal for students to use

so i just took advantage of that

[cunning osprey]

goddamn

thats nice

[hallow kelp]

yea its so nice

also bruh im doing the columbia supp stuff and like the vid is taking so long

[cunning osprey]

what vid

[hallow kelp]

maker portfolio

its like an additional supp u can do

@calm radish do you know when the portfolios r due and how big they can be?

[devout mirage]

LMAO

[hallow kelp]

?

[hallow kelp]

i still dk what was funny 😭

[quasi kayak]

i just put stuff i liked lmfao

dk if that’s good strategy but its genuinely just works that are most memorable to me

[native hatch]

it is a good strategy

[devout mirage]

is jjs haunted

[native hatch]

no why

ghost hasn’t held the door for me yet at least

[devout mirage]

bc of wednesday

[native hatch]

OOHHHHH

yeah they’ve got good stuff down there

[hallow kelp]

bro finally

finished the video

that took so long lmfao

[devout mirage]

@winged hinge would double major CS + ORFE be hard

[cunning osprey]

how long is too long for the list supp

i have like at least 20 yt channels

[broken hound]

💀

Just say “multiple yt channels, combined 10mil subs”

Formally

Why 20

[hybrid bay]

No bruh

[cunning osprey]

uh i dont think thats what they want

[hybrid bay]

He’s talking ab the list prompt

[broken hound]

Oh

Still why do you have 20 yt channels

Do you run them all at the same time

[cunning osprey]

i mean they answer the prompt

no lol

and there is a 100 word limit soooooo

gonna submit 100 yt channels

[hallow kelp]

lmfao

20 channels is wild but its valid

they did say to be honest

and idt anyone else is putting 20 channels lmfao

[cunning osprey]

i swore someone said here that they put dozens of channels

was it hater krispee or smth

[native hatch]

idk how many i put

i put a few

[wise haven]

Me Fr Fr

[wise haven]

Yeah

I put a dozen

[cunning osprey]

yo im over a dozen lmaoo

how long is ur list supp

[wise haven]

Lmao I think I have more

[cunning osprey]

ay at least im not alone lol

[wise haven]

I’m at a little less than a dozen

[cunning osprey]

oh shit

should i include an author name if the textbook name is extremely common

[hallow kelp]

I lowk only put engineering ones lmfao so i put 4

[hallow kelp]

you could but honestly you should be fine. the main thing u wanna show is that u r interested in that textbook topic

[cunning osprey]

ight

[devout mirage]

istg seeing u two talk

is SO confusing

[cunning osprey]

default profiles are best

[native hatch]

real

get a pfp

[hallow kelp]

onggg

[hallow kelp]

bros hating ;-;

[wise haven]

It’s logical but in the wrong way

[devout mirage]

i always think its one of u guys talking to urself and keep laughing my ass off

[hallow kelp]

lmfaoo

[cunning osprey]

when they mean "intellectual development", do they just mean learning

[hallow kelp]

yea like the prompt lowk over complicates it

but its legit just

List things u did to learn outside of class

[cunning osprey]

they really gotta hit us with the fancy ass language

"intellectual development"

[devout mirage]

@native hatch can u help me with my essay

[native hatch]

sure

[cunning osprey]

just wanna make sure im not high

but the ed deadline for columbia is nov 1 11:59pm

not today 11:59pm

[wise haven]

Pretty sure but hey man u can always do RD

[cunning osprey]

yeah its nov 1 11:59 pm

i was indeed not high

[wise haven]

Thank god

[devout mirage]

ED has better chances

[wise haven]

Was just and in case thing but yeah

[mossy siren]

ok now that EA time is over it's time to actually talk on my RD channels

[winged hinge]

it's like illegal

double majoring in seas is a big nono

[cunning osprey]

why?

[wise haven]

I don’t think ur allowed to at all

Like engineering doenst allow doubles

Major and minor only

[red cliff]

has anyone who emailed ugrad columbia ever gottten a response? i emailed them three times already and they never respond. when i go to call them, the rep just redirects me to the emails in the classic customer service loop fashion

[mental garnet]

i emailed on jul 20 and got a response within 7 hours lol

but tbh m yquestion was pretty simple

[native hatch]

what’s your question about?

[red cliff]

i asked three different questions 3 times before but they never responded. some of them were simple. but basically i kind of fucked up my art portfolio and i forgot to put the required size medium and date of completion info on slideroom. but once u submit u cant edit it so i was asking if either the administrative ppl could reopen my submission form or they could help me transfer that missing info directly to the reviewers

[native hatch]

wait until you get your portal, and submit an update letter

[red cliff]

oh theres a portal? thats great because ive gotten one from every school but columbia and i thought they didnt have one...

[native hatch]

i think that’s the best way for them to review it. they print out the additional information you submit through updates and i would assume review it with your portfolio

yep columbia has one

i assume they’re backed up rn

[red cliff]

okok tysm

[devout mirage]

ive never gotten a response and this was before app season

i had to email them about things for epc and they never responded

[quasi kayak]

can i add my scores to my portal after the deadline… i logged into my stars acc but i dont have my application info in there so i cant add it

i asked them to consider them and have them on my common app

idk if i need to add them on the portal as well

[native hatch]

Yes

add them to portal once it opens

they purposely redact sat/act

you have to choose to report

[devout mirage]

oh rlly?

[native hatch]

ye

[devout mirage]

oh wait i thought you were talking about common app portal

i was so confused i thought u didnt put ur scores in lol

[devout mirage]

did u report ur scores

[native hatch]

no

[devout mirage]

how much do they matter over there

[native hatch]

idk

i got rejected from a lot of places bc i didn’t submit scores

[devout mirage]

u think it was cuz of TO?

[native hatch]

ya

[devout mirage]

fuck

[native hatch]

i think so

why

i mean i got into columbia

[devout mirage]

im going TO

[native hatch]

what did you get

submit it

1440 isn’t bad at all

[devout mirage]

penn told me not to

[native hatch]

😭

[devout mirage]

for engineering

[native hatch]

what

damn

😭

do u have comp math

[quasi kayak]

sat dumb

act on top

[devout mirage]

nope

[native hatch]

im ngl i hate both

ok so ur fine

[devout mirage]

im just dogshit at multiple choice

i swear

[native hatch]

same

no worries

[devout mirage]

im worrying

downward trend

probably shouldve EDed columbia

[native hatch]

how downward is downward lmao

4.0 -> 3.97 is not downward

but ur overall cumulative is the same

or did your cumulative drop to 3.6

[devout mirage]

oh my cumulative is 3.7

[native hatch]

not great for to

usually to compensate for TO u have high gpa

that’s fair

explain that in additl info

[devout mirage]

yes i did

but i have no reason for a decline now

which is why im worried

[native hatch]

ur fine

[red cliff]

@native hatch sorry ik u dont have the answer to this but just asking for your opinion, if my art portfolio missing info ends up not getting to the art professors reviewing it, do you think thats a negative to my application T_T cus i feel like they will think im a dumbass who cant read directions

[native hatch]

no i don’t think so. are you applying for an art related major?

[red cliff]

no, but i do have a ton of art ecs so i wanted to sort of reinforce that haha

[native hatch]

okay so if you’re not applying to an art related major your portfolio doesn’t matter that much tbh and i’m pretty sure they only offer guaranteed portfolio reviews by faculty for people intending to major in art

so i think you’re fine

[red cliff]

ohhh ok thats great tyy

[winged hinge]

do not submit taht 😭

my friend got a 1480 and was TO for cornell

[quasi kayak]

me not submitting a a creative writing portfolio bc i didn’t have anything i was proud of lmfao

[native hatch]

that’s crazy

[devout mirage]

ya i wasnt

[young bay]

ik this is last minute

but did y’all put the fly in in the additional info (besides the essays)

[devout mirage]

did u do the fly in?

[young bay]

yea

epc

[devout mirage]

dm me

[native hatch]

id try to include it in an essay

but additl info also works

[hallow kelp]

Does anyone know when the ed agreement is due? I just got the email saying my portal was oepend with the form now being available after school ended

[hallow kelp]

Oh wait lowk i didnt see but my counselor submitted it last week 💀

Besides the counselor ed agreement and parent agreement form we dont have to do anything else right?

[cunning osprey]

ok so once u submit ur app, you get a portal via email and thats where you put ur sat scores?

bc i remember someone saying that sat scores werent a part of commonapp and u had to self report again on the columbia portal

[devout mirage]

thats my roommate from epc LMFAO

[weak delta]

Juniors can do epc?

[devout mirage]

he a sr

[young bay]

Lmao 😭

[young bay]

I don’t use this server a lot so idek how I have this role

[restive ravine]

Is anyone going to the engineering open house on November 10th

[restive ravine]

7 done let’s gooo

[wise haven]

are u?

[restive ravine]

Yep

[restive ravine]

Did you get the invite for it

[wise haven]

uhhh prolly not idk

let me see

oh i did

[restive ravine]

someone else that applied to EPC didn’t get it

I wonder how many ppl got

[wise haven]

huh

interesting

[restive ravine]

Bc they couldn’t have sent it to like 20000 ppl that applied

It’s also not open to public only EPC rejects 💀

[wise haven]

only people in nyc?

idk

[vague basin]

i got the columbia college one

im pretty sure they just send it to ppl in the nyc metro area

cuz theyre most likely to show up

[weak delta]

Yea makes sense

[restive ravine]

My friend goes to my school and lives in the same neighborhood

He didn’t get an email

Idk I’m excited tho

[dense fable]

I got the email too

[vague basin]

i have no interest in columbia lol and i got it

[dense fable]

I think they sent it to just people on their email list lol

I'm pretty sure I'm on their email list from collegeboard or ACT

[devout mirage]

only 800 ppl applied

[restive ravine]

^ @dense fable

[restive ravine]

The email said given your application to EPC

I think they’re diff things

[devout mirage]

oh i meant only 800 ppl applied though is what im saying lol

i thought it would be way more

[restive ravine]

It also says you can only rsvp with your EPC credentials

[restive ravine]

My b tagged wrong person

[devout mirage]

i like how u lurk in all these channels but dont wanna go to these schools

[devout mirage]

actually it might be a little bit higher than 800

[restive ravine]

Probably is

[devout mirage]

acceptance rate was sub 10 percent if i recall

[restive ravine]

Yep

Less than ED acceptance rate 💀💀

[devout mirage]

well regardless hoping that visit is a good sign and u get into the school 🙏

[vague basin]

thats just what i like to do

[devout mirage]

mods shoulda chosen u as guardian ong

[vague basin]

i never applied so i never got it

[wise haven]

its over for me

[restive ravine]

TYY! Same to u with whatever school you’re applying to

[native hatch]

good luck kiddos

[vague basin]

WHY?

[wise haven]

feel it in my soul

[vague basin]

STFU YOU GOT THIS

How else am I gonna sneak into campus to terrorize transplants

[wise haven]

i-

what?

[vague basin]

I need you to swipe me into campus bro

so you gotta manifest that acceptance

[wise haven]

i aint manifesting shit since im already getting in

tf i needa manifest for

[vague basin]

thats the mindset

[devout mirage]

im taller than you so who's the "kiddo"

[wise haven]

bertha didnt even say hi to me

[wise haven]

she got in.

[devout mirage]

bertha thinks she is superior because of her guardian status

it's the mod effect

we are just underlings to her

insignificant beings...

[wise haven]

we are peasants

useless beings

ones who kneel to her

wouldnt be smth new for me

[native hatch]

IM OLDER THAN YOU SO WHOS THE KIDDO

[native hatch]

real

[devout mirage]

u might not be...

whens ur birthday

nevermind.. i'm in fact the kiddo

[native hatch]

that’s right

[wise haven]

i was born in 2005

whens ur bday

[native hatch]

i’m in fact not the kiddo

nice try

[vague basin]

i love when college freshmen realize im an 05 kid

[wise haven]

deadass

[native hatch]

literally and

half of co 28 is 05

[vague basin]

most of them are 06

or like oct-dec 05

[quasi kayak]

same!!!!

[wise haven]

only 800

?

[cunning osprey]

submitted ed app

time to crank up the hopium and copium

[wise haven]

real

[quasi kayak]

all my ed/ea apps are done now and i no longer wish to think ab it 😊

[wise haven]

honestly hope i get shot

[native hatch]

me after midterms

my midterms are done too ..!

[native hatch]

i arizzed them (i did submit a test score, but i also had a 4.0 gpa which qualified me for the highest merit scholly + national merit award)

no

just the gpa

also no

[mental garnet]

asu?

[native hatch]

university of arizona

[mental garnet]

oh ok thanks

[tough raptor]

Did anyone do ED?

to columbia that is

[native hatch]

quite a few ppl in this channel did yeah

[wise haven]

A lot of us yeah

[quasi kayak]

i did

[quasi kayak]

praying!

[restive ravine]

43 days!

[weak delta]

That's scarily close

I need to start working on my rd apps

[tender pelican]

columbia's supplement for the list of stories / resources etc says you dont have to put in authors, but if ur listing a bunch of short stories isnt it more identifiable with author names 😭

howd you guys do it, author names or no author names

[wise haven]

None

[quasi kayak]

none

despite all of mine being basically obscure poetry

[quasi kayak]

if i don’t get in ed i might lose it

[devout mirage]

for the columbia list did anyone put categories (e.g: books, youtube, etc) or did yall just list w/o separation

[quasi kayak]

i just listed them all

[devout mirage]

[wise haven]

Just u bro 😭

[devout mirage]

no its an optional supplement

[raven shard]

Yea but like some optional things are not really optional lol

Like the optional supps

[quasi kayak]

if you’ve done research i would recommend it

[devout mirage]

yeah but columbia doesnt have optional supps

and not everyone has done research

[devout mirage]

i think honestly it depends bc some research papers ive read from high schoolers havent been that good....

[restive ravine]

Bruh

#demonstratedinterest

[wise haven]

How was it

[native hatch]

i am

LMAO

[devout mirage]

[wise haven]

Caly is lying

She at uchicago

[devout mirage]

[restive ravine]

No I was joking lmao

But I met the head admissions officer for undergrad!

[restive ravine]

I LOVED IT

THE LABS ARE SO COOL

I WENT DOWN ✨THE STEPS✨

[devout mirage]

[restive ravine]

Idk man

She lead the panel

[restive ravine]

Honestly I’m not sure all the kids looked super smart so I didn’t talk to them

[quasi kayak]

[native hatch]

[native hatch]

[simple iris]

[remote raptor]

Could you help me with mine

[restive ravine]

Yeah ofc!

[remote raptor]

kk

[safe gale]

hey gang is anyone applying to dual ba programs?

[remote raptor]

like as in 2 majors?

[safe gale]

No like international

Like Columbia/sciences po Columbia/trinity Columbia/tel aviv

[remote raptor]

how do u do that?

[safe gale]

u apply through columbia gs

[devout mirage]

u apply through gs and cc right

[safe gale]

idk the application is on the gs website and the columbia degree comes from gs not cc

[simple iris]

is the UNI the same as the CUID?

[native hatch]

CUID is typically in card form, UNI is your primary form of identification

CUID i think is the C0-numbers

[simple iris]

Got it, thank you

[devout mirage]

columbia supps r gonna make me kms

[devout mirage]

finished columbia supps

[hexed canyon]

Who will triumph

[devout mirage]

guys

we have to talk more

we can't let penn win

[hexed canyon]

#📆-decision-dates message

[raven shard]

penn better ngl

[hexed canyon]

If you overtake them you get number 1 spot of the channel

I remember how when we first made this channel last year Dartmouth was winning by a landslide at one point with 5k+ in like 2 days before ED came out

Then ED came

And it scraped by at the end of the year with just over 10k messages

[devout mirage]

darty bloodbath?

[hexed canyon]

Yeah lol

The all UCs thread was a sleeper tho

It was dead for quite a while

[devout mirage]

penn will probably be similar

[hexed canyon]

Penn got 19k total last year

But we opened this channel in early December

[devout mirage]

what did columbia get

[hexed canyon]

Like a week before earlies came out

[hexed canyon]

About 11.5k

[devout mirage]

many ED in penn channel while fair amount of RD here so we have a fair chance to overtake them

[hexed canyon]

Georgia tech and UMass Amherst were the big state schools

[devout mirage]

isnt gt still really active

[hexed canyon]

And UIUC

And umich

All besides Amherst passed 30k

[devout mirage]

is umich active this year

[hexed canyon]

Not really

[hexed canyon]

Also not really

Both are under 2k

Which isn’t horrid

But not nearly as high as the highest ones

[devout mirage]

maybe lots of '28 are just aiming more for ivy+ than last year

[hexed canyon]

I think it’s bc most people are in their early threads rn

Once they get rejected they’ll move

[devout mirage]

how were results last year

lots of rejections or fairly successful?

[hexed canyon]

A lot of rejects

[hexed canyon]

This shit happened last year

Caltech released on March 11

Basically everyone got rejected

[devout mirage]

lmao

[hexed canyon]

And then moved to MIT

[devout mirage]

makes sense

was mit and stanford similar

[hexed canyon]

And MIT was three days later

[devout mirage]

with early

[hexed canyon]

MIT is almost always the last big early in December

Brown and UChicago were just oddly late last year

[devout mirage]

from what i saw last year a lot of the actives got rejected then randoms who've rarely talked in the server posted their acceptances

[hexed canyon]

Yep

[hexed canyon]

UChicago kids were brutal last year tho

They argued with me over the predicted release date of which I ended up being right

[devout mirage]

and then all got rejected?

[hexed canyon]

Was in the UChicago thread

[devout mirage]

thats brutal

[devout mirage]

holy cal

[mental garnet]

wasn't around last year but i feel like a lot of the actives this year are pretty cracked

[hexed canyon]

Not any more than last year

Also the amount of reactions is not reflective of the number of actives

There were people who reacted who barely spoke here

[mental garnet]

yeah makes sense

randoms will be scared to talk until they get in and then they'll make sure everybody knows 💀

[hexed canyon]

We had a girl last year who I had literally never seen before pop in here on Ivy day and one by one send her acceptance letters from each and every Ivy school

[mental garnet]

oh my god

i wanna be that girl but also i dont have enough spots on my common app lmao

[devout mirage]

LMAO

[hexed canyon]

I wonder if I can find her stuff

[devout mirage]

i swear people only join this server to do that

[mental garnet]

chloe do you keep track of every text every channel every thread in this server

[hexed canyon]

Wait nvm she didn’t send one by one

But

I have never seen more reactions

In this server

[mental garnet]

damn

[hexed canyon]

Huh

[mental garnet]

do you read all the messages

[hexed canyon]

No

[bitter iris]

richael was insaneeee

[wise haven]

Bro was insane

[pale crown]

Bro was unfettered by the Chance Me antics.

[stone ravine]

It's got a UPS store 3 minutes away

[simple iris]

Is zeemee worth downloading? The boomer in me says no

[hexed canyon]

It’s not

It’s mostly filled with people asking for insta gcs

And then those insta gcs die pretty quick

[restive ravine]

god i hope i get in

[weak delta]

1 month till decision?

[restive ravine]

yessir

I HAVE A STORY OMG

[weak delta]

yuh

[devout mirage]

whats the story

[restive ravine]

this annoying girl from my school applied ed to columbia

and she told me she got an interview before she submitted her application because her dad has connections

but on the columbia website they said they dont even do interviews

so now im pissed

shes a mid applicant banking on diversity factor

[devout mirage]

then shes capping

[restive ravine]

nah bro

i cried.

[devout mirage]

but thats literally impossible because they discontinued the program

it means nothing

https://www.college.columbia.edu/news/announcement-alumni-admissions-interviews

[restive ravine]

THATS WHAT I THOUGHT

but connections can make things happen ?

[devout mirage]

not really

unless theres like 50 million dollars involved

[restive ravine]

damn she literally lied to my face

that is wild.

[devout mirage]

besides an interview was the least considered factor anyways

[restive ravine]

ik her GPA isnt great

idk too much ab her ec's but i dont think she has anything nearly as impactful as mine

[devout mirage]

it doesnt matter

dw about her

focus on urself

[restive ravine]

no bruh

this is my competition

[devout mirage]

they dont even directly compare you

it doesnt matter

[restive ravine]

i mean they said they compare within your class

and within your school

[devout mirage]

ive never heard that

[restive ravine]

well yea they cant compare you to some rich kid from cali

theyre gonna see how you performed in the context of your school

[weak delta]

stop crying research robot

[devout mirage]

yeah but not directly to your classmates

they use ur school profile

[weak delta]

they say theres no cap on how many kids they accept from one school but my class size is legit 44 gang so they not taking more than 1 lmfao

[restive ravine]

Idk man

She’s just a mean and annoying person so it’s hard for me to wish her the best

[devout mirage]

yeah but you're stressing over something thats out of your control that wont even have an effect on ur app really

if you're getting rejected its not because of her

[restive ravine]

Well ik that for sure

[devout mirage]

ya so stop stressing

over her

[restive ravine]

I’m not stressed over HER

I’m stressed about not getting in and her being pretentious isn’t helping

[wise haven]

Same 😭

[wise haven]

Some people get interviews based on scholarship need and stuff as well

Apparently

Don’t quote me on that

Just what I’ve heard

[restive ravine]

I don’t think she needs that

[wise haven]

She doesnt

But

Hey it what’s she did and honestly

That’s how it is

[restive ravine]

Her aunt went to Columbia tho

It was connections she’s super rich

[restive ravine]

Do you live in tri state

[wise haven]

I live in the city bro

[restive ravine]

Bc apparently they have summer send offs we can go to one

[restive ravine]

Oh!

[wise haven]

Huh we can? What’s that

[restive ravine]

Fr when (if) we get in let’s meet up at one fr

[wise haven]

It’s when bud

[restive ravine]

[weak delta]

[weak delta]

[restive ravine]

😂😂 okay cowboy

[restive ravine]

Columbia athletics suck

They don’t win shit

[weak delta]

[wise haven]

Sigh the fact an athlete Alr admitted but I didn’t kick a ball good enough is the reasok I’m not getting in is crazy

[weak delta]

i mean they spend hours and hours practice and gameday

they work for that shit

[restive ravine]

There was a lax commit…

[restive ravine]

Agreed

I wish I took the athlete route

[weak delta]

im ngl bro if i was a girl i would just grind the shit out of girls soccer and go d1

bc most girls who play that ive talked to dont take it too seriously

[restive ravine]

I played varsity as a sophomore where are my recruitment letters.

[weak delta]

so if u got that killer mentality on girls soccer u going d1 fosho

[wise haven]

Yeah I’m not denying that

I’m just saying like

Damn I should’ve learned to kick a ball

Would’ve made up for the stupidity

😔

Sike I’m getting in regardless

[restive ravine]

Also a lot of ppl don’t even want to play after college
