Columbia University (2023-2024)

[wise haven]

They aren’t

[tender pelican]

EXACTLY

[wise haven]

But I think my essays reflect me

[tender pelican]

titxn is a godlike writer

thats all u need !!

[wise haven]

It’s less about how much I like them and more about how I think they represent me

I don’t really like em looking back

[tender pelican]

mm valid

[wise haven]

But I kinda don’t dislike em

[weak delta]

man quit the yappin

[restive ravine]

RIGHT

[wise haven]

🫥

[restive ravine]

like when i wrote them i thought they were good

[tender pelican]

i like mine i think its very. aggressively. me from the fact i sound delulu to the fact i make myself sound like a story character

[restive ravine]

the more i read the more i dont like them

[wise haven]

KVD had enough

[restive ravine]

so i stopped reading them

[weak delta]

i feel my old self coming back

the hating arc is returning

[wise haven]

W mans

[weak delta]

this is good

[tender pelican]

kvd's a hater

[wise haven]

Hate is the best

3/5 of us here are haters bro

[tender pelican]

oh kvd i keep on like

[restive ravine]

LMFAOOO

[tender pelican]

messing u up w/ kirk

[weak delta]

oh fuck no i hate those mfs

[wise haven]

Oh nah 💀

[weak delta]

guys dont worry about college apps you will get into where you belong - yale 2026

[restive ravine]

it doesnt matter what school you go to

[tender pelican]

I SAW THAT POST

BRO

[wise haven]

I mean sure but

[weak delta]

FACTS

[restive ravine]

half the ppl at ucla are proud to be there the other half are salty

[wise haven]

Do I REALLY belong at “WALLA WALLA university” ?

[tender pelican]

"i didnt get into an ivy, and i was so disappointed, ended up at an not-ivy school!!! dont worry though i got in where im now happy w/ and youll get into where u belong" - ucla 2027

[restive ravine]

https://www.sru.edu/

[weak delta]

nah the point of the msg is that mfs at t20s be saying it doesnt matter where u go to

like stfu

ofc u gon say that

[wise haven]

Tbf most people are happier when they go to a college that they didn’t stake their entire life on

[tender pelican]

im sure

i wish i never discovered a2c lmaoo

[wise haven]

But that’s cause people who have a top choice don’t realize that idealizing a college is so dumb because those ideals will break quickly

[weak delta]

i wish my parentsn ever put me in GT in kindergarten

[restive ravine]

same bro same

[weak delta]

the start of a downfall

[wise haven]

So they’re unhappy

[weak delta]

😔

[restive ravine]

i would be sm happier

[tender pelican]

no like i love a2c in that it helped my app

[restive ravine]

without a2c

[tender pelican]

so goddamn much

but also

this place is unreal

[restive ravine]

a2c just made me insecure ab my app

iris fu was all i needed

[wise haven]

People who don’t go to their top choice on average are happier cause they don’t have needless expectations that can’t be matched d

[tender pelican]

i finessed my app and managed to do so bc of a2c

[wise haven]

Lmao I was never insecure about it

[restive ravine]

oh...

[weak delta]

like legit if i was never put into GT i wouldve never thought i was some big shot and that domino chain led to me trying to be an overachiever and now stressing about this

[tender pelican]

but also do i really need to think that my ecs are mid and be insecure over a 1520 bc of a2c 😭 yk

[wise haven]

I know full well of the faults of Columbia and still wanna go

[weak delta]

1520? nah its over for you blud

[tender pelican]

right

frfr

[weak delta]

CC is a reach

[wise haven]

But I’m not holding myslef to thinking it’s a phenomenal school

[restive ravine]

[restive ravine]

[wise haven]

Oh and ofc mental health is ass but

[restive ravine]

It’s a month away and I can’t stop thinking ab it

Imagine how imma feel when it’s December 14th

[native hatch]

doesn’t matter anyway most people i know didn’t get interviewed

including me

interview is typically only if they’re on the fence

most schools get 0 lmao so yes they’ll probably only take 1

me with yale

[stone ravine]

29 days

wait US school sizes can be that small?

NO LITERALLY I SHULD HAVE DONE THIS

[red cliff]

[restive ravine]

[stone ravine]

😭

[last oriole]

[mental garnet]

fake columbia stan

[stone ravine]

[last oriole]

[mental garnet]

idk either lol

[stone ravine]

columbia gives free waterbottle at orientation

[mental garnet]

im only here bcuz this thread is active and im lowkey invested in some people's outcomes like cj and hater

[stone ravine]

yayyy

[mental garnet]

motmo did you ed columbia?

you're the one with a columbia ao aunt right?

[stone ravine]

yes

i use the term aunt very loosely

[mental garnet]

did you ed?

[stone ravine]

yes

[mental garnet]

rooting for you too 🙏

[stone ravine]

aww ur too sweeet

[native hatch]

they did not

i got some cool stuff at orientation tho

[stone ravine]

i mean thats what i heard 😭

[native hatch]

a pin, bookmark, ruler, and a few other small things

[mental garnet]

[stone ravine]

yayyy

[stone ravine]

is the food as good as they say

[native hatch]

yes

[stone ravine]

[native hatch]

LMAO

THAI MARKET

yes probably

UMS has thai market weekly

[stone ravine]

whats thai market?

[native hatch]

restaurant

that we get takeout from all the time

[stone ravine]

oooooo

[quasi kayak]

me missing the idoc deadline ouuuu

[wise haven]

omg sameeee

[native hatch]

it’s ok i think i sent these things after i got in

or a few days before

i just registered for classes

w

[devout mirage]

before she turned in her apps? its obvious cap, if anything she just had a phone call with her aunt

its like saying i have a stanford interview everyday because i talk to him

[vague basin]

^

very few schools let you do interviews before submitting and columbia isnt one of those

[wise haven]

Oh no a guy said he got one after

But that’s probably really really rare

If they do it at all

[vague basin]

after submitting?

cuz thats when they do send it

[wise haven]

Yeah

[restive ravine]

29 29 29 29

i am actually going insasne

[quasi kayak]

lowkey starting to regret ed so like i’m kinda just vibing

[devout mirage]

Columbia does interviews tho

Right

Unless they stopped them this yr

Oh huh interesting
Makes sense tho actually most the ppl ik here didn't get an interview

[restive ravine]

Not anymore

[stone ravine]

dw its a soft deadline

[quasi kayak]

yeah ik it was just mad at me 😭😭

“the deadline has passed” girl ain’t my fault that i could teach a baby to read a 1040 faster than your goofy ahh website processes one (1) w2

[stone ravine]

:(

[hollow galleon]

bro mines 846 lmfaoo

[stone ravine]

😭

thats a small town

[restive ravine]

28282828828282828

[pale crown]

Also same

[split fractal]

if we submit a research supplement to columbia, we have to put the contact info of the mentor we worked with. are they going to actually email the mentor? the professor i worked with typically takes a while to respond

[bitter iris]

im pretty sure this is only if u worked with a columbia faculty right.. if you did independent research/research with another professor from a different school would you still submit a research supplement providing you did

[split fractal]

i think it’s research under faculty from any school

[native hatch]

yep. you should put the contact info. likely they won’t contact

but it’s just to verify

[restive ravine]

2727277272727727

[quasi kayak]

the window of stress has passed. i’ll start freaking out at 5 days out

[rugged junco]

does anyone know when decsions come out

[quasi kayak]

december 15

[restive ravine]

2626262626262626

[quasi kayak]

in the wise words of emily blunt in the devil wears prada, “i rarely say this to ppl who aren’t me but you’ve GOT to calm down”

at least wait til t-10days to start the countdown 😭

[mental garnet]

lol im doing the same countdown in #1135694160234557565

[quasi kayak]

you guys 😭😭

[mental garnet]

its the only way i can cope with the pain of waiting

[quasi kayak]

i think ur just getting urself overwhelmed some more 😭

[native hatch]

you guys can just ask me questions or something instead of counting

or like updates abt campus

maybe that’s better than thinking abt a decision

then you get the good and the bad of campus

[quasi kayak]

well what’s the bad

[mental garnet]

tbh yeah ill be so disappointed if i get rejected

[native hatch]

most of the gates being closed

construction on campus

[devout mirage]

why

[quasi kayak]

STILL???

[native hatch]

like 75 cops on campus

[devout mirage]

why are the gates closed

[native hatch]

not all are open yet

but they’re reopening

[quasi kayak]

i was there like a month ago and those girls were locked 😍😭😭

[native hatch]

we’ve had some very bad spells of all gates closed

wait guys i need to shower so i can get my laundry on time

gimme a few

[devout mirage]

didnt you think he gates closed was a good thing

lmao

[native hatch]

oh yeah people throw ur laundry out if ur late

rip

[quasi kayak]

that’s like all dorms though

why are all of the useful columbia tunnels not open 😭

[restive ravine]

Why are the protesters allowed on campus

There was one guy going off on capitalism the last time I was there

[native hatch]

the ones on campus are student organized

they get approval to protest

the ones outside the gates are not columbia affiliated

[stone ravine]

What are some MUST go and some MUST avoid places

Heard butler library is horrible for studying since it’s always crowded

[native hatch]

avery is pretty i also like the mathematics library and you must go to postcrypt at least once (basement $1 coffee shop with live music that absolutely slaps on campus)

must avoid idrk

id say like maybe amsterdam after it gets dark

and any park after it gets dark really

[stone ravine]

ooooo okkk thank uuu

avery and math library

[devout mirage]

It's fine tbh

[restive ravine]

@native hatch best residence hall

[wise haven]

John jay

[restive ravine]

i like john jay bc lots of nice singles

[restive ravine]

YEAH

and nice views

[native hatch]

john jay

[devout mirage]

its probably haunted

[native hatch]

probably

i mean the current columbia morningside campus was built on a mental asylum

replaced one mental asylum with another one

[quasi kayak]

do yall pick if u want a single or a double or do u just take ur chanxes

[devout mirage]

thats what my host said

[quasi kayak]

[native hatch]

[stone ravine]

niceee

[smoky crater]

is there any preference for new yorkers

[remote raptor]

I submit Columbia today

[restive ravine]

Dude

[quasi kayak]

not really i would think just a self selecting bias

[tropic herald]

Why Columbia sending me more emails than my local state schools

Is this a sign 😮

[wise haven]

no

no it isnt

[weak delta]

No I got like 500 from them

I even got emails from engineering

[devout mirage]

idk how they even got their email

[tropic herald]

[weak delta]

[native hatch]

[cunning osprey]

every day we get closer to the ed decision date, i shit myself a bit more

[native hatch]

you’ll be fine i promise

whether you get in or not

[cunning osprey]

ik but i wanna get innnnnnnnnnn

[native hatch]

i didn’t get in to my EAs except 1

i got in columbia rd

it’s a redirection

trust in urself

[cunning osprey]

i already have "my essays were so shit" syndrome

[native hatch]

i hope you get in tho

[native hatch]

yeah everyone does

you improve after you write them

i know how it feels

[cunning osprey]

ik i try to calm myself by saying theyre already in

[native hatch]

things will genuinely be fine

if you’re applying to columbia, you’re likely at minimum getting a huge merit scholly elsewhere

so you’re def going to college

don’t stress yourself out

[cunning osprey]

🙏

[bitter iris]

can i kindly ask a ques abt columbia general school of studies

[native hatch]

yeah ofc

[bitter iris]

my de creds transfer to columbia gs and so i wanna apply there

however im not too sure but does columbia gs have econ as a major?

my intended is econ

[native hatch]

u can’t apply to gs

unless ur doing a 2y abroad program

transferring from a cc

or took a break from hs

over 2y

[bitter iris]

oh ok im applying first year then

[bitter iris]

i have the option to pick this when i apply tho?

[safe gale]

ooo thats what im doing, do you know if the columbia education is significantly different in those programs

[native hatch]

yes

[native hatch]

not really. other than yk you’re abroad for 2y

you essentially “transfer” back to columbia junior and senior year

[bitter iris]

so its best if i just apply columbia cas for econ

i dont want to do a 2y abroad program

[native hatch]

yes

[bitter iris]

thank you!

and it kinda worked out

bc everyone else in my class got scared out of applying lol

so no competition

[boreal venture]

columbias pool hrs

r the goat

let me in

:(

[stone ravine]

how do athlete admissions work?

[quasi kayak]

they court for athletic ability first and academics second. as long as you perform well enough to succeed at that school, you will likely get in provided you’re being actively recruited

[stone ravine]

"yo as long as ur topping ur region and like not failing ur okay"

liek that??

[quasi kayak]

i mean p much?? i’m not an athlete so idk that much but there’s often a lower standard of academics for athletes . obviously for rigorous schools there is still some level of academic achievement required but it’s not to the bar that standard acceptances are often at

they can’t have the entire d line on academic probation

[stone ravine]

oh so da girl whose only personality is fencing with straight Bs is getting into columbia

😭

[quasi kayak]

i don’t think ppl should worry ab athletes taking up their spots for admission tho, they’re quite rare and a different system entirely

[stone ravine]

i am worrying because shes in my school

💀

and she also called me a slur

so there's that

#ally

[quasi kayak]

catch it

[stone ravine]

?

what does that mean im sorry

[quasi kayak]

i use it like “period” ig

[stone ravine]

oh

[devout mirage]

the athlete kid who is committing to dartmouth at my school is something....

[stone ravine]

oh my goodness spill

[devout mirage]

he literally cheats in his classes lmao

[stone ravine]

OUH THAT IS NOT-

oh the fencer girl

shes getting low Bs in Business

but wants to apply to business in columbia

because its her best grade

[devout mirage]

same the dude ik is applying for business 😭😭

[stone ravine]

why r they always doing the same subjects oh my goodness 😭

[devout mirage]

hes also just kinda mean if that makes sense

[stone ravine]

HOLY SHIT

are they

related???

r they like

cousins

bc

[vague basin]

its cuz most kids think business is some easy major they can cruise through and make big bucks afterwards

but he just gives off finance bro lmaoo

[winged hinge]

^^it wont count as a spot for admission, ur not competing) w them

[wise haven]

Oh

[marble zodiac]

[wise haven]

A few people I think were

[west gazelle]

Wait, there's a research supp for columbia

Ooh, thx for letting me know

[stone ravine]

acquaintance to friends to enemies to friends to lovers

[stone ravine]

[devout mirage]

i feel like so many people do but then dont get in

[native hatch]

half the school is ed

[devout mirage]

damnnn

[native hatch]

i feel like the other half is “im here bc i didn’t get into x school”

😭

lmfao

[devout mirage]

i would say sum but this could definitely be me in the future 😭🙏🙏

[weak delta]

Tf r yall complaining about

It's a t10 school

[wise haven]

gl

[devout mirage]

a huge part of columbia culture is complaining tbh

[quasi kayak]

this makes me sad lol

[devout mirage]

literally my hosts complained

students complain on tiktok

[quasi kayak]

why r yall trying to make me regret ed omfg

[wise haven]

its complaining ur there but knowing that being there is good

[devout mirage]

yes

[devout mirage]

cj u will love it bro 🙏🙏

[wise haven]

its knowin that despite how annoyed u feel, it still hold a lot of value to attend and be part of it

[devout mirage]

also its just like complaining about everything tbh

its not a bad thing

[wise haven]

mhm

its jsut a way to vent

its stressful after all

[vague basin]

that just screams new york

[devout mirage]

like i guarantee youve all heard atl one columbia student complain about administration

[wise haven]

i mean its in nyc so

[devout mirage]

its just columbia culture 😭😭

[wise haven]

and tbf all administration sucks ass anywhere

[vague basin]

OMG DONT REGRET IT YOU ARE SO AMAZING AND GREAT YOU WILL LOVE IT

[wise haven]

very few places do it well

in fact places who do it well just do less shitty thigns and we chalk it up to being good because were so used to administration being bad

thats just how it is

[hexed canyon]

!columbia

[neat marten]

Columbia University ED Date

Columbia University decisions come out <t:1702598400:F> in your local time
13 days, 11 minutes and 18 seconds until the decision date

ApplyingToCollege

[hexed canyon]

Date is final, time is a guess

[cunning osprey]

less than 2 weeks 💀

has columbia historically released their ed decisions in the evening/night

[wise haven]

I’m not getting in but congrats to whoever does ig

[wise haven]

Yeha at 7

[native hatch]

yes

[cunning osprey]

we all thinking we aint getting in

[wise haven]

Nah I know bud

[native hatch]

it’s good to realize you won’t get in

so when you do it’s a surprise

[cunning osprey]

true

set the bar low

so u never get disappointed

[wise haven]

Shut up

This is delusional

U all are insane

I’m doing other apps now fuck Thsi

[native hatch]

don’t do 1601 physics at columbia unless they’ve changed it from brian cole’s version please i beg of you this is miserable

[wise haven]

💀

[cunning osprey]

whats wrong with it 💀

isnt there a physics track that starts with 2 that is absolute hell

[native hatch]

1601 is more hell

[cunning osprey]

whats wrong with this brian cole

[native hatch]

he doesn’t teach the class

he designed all the psets super rigorously and the course notes are so dense without examples

2801 is taught well

they just complain because their psets take forever

[cunning osprey]

gl

[native hatch]

and the current prof teaches so simply

so like it’s not even worth going to lecture

because it’s just a repeat of calc 3

except the corequiste for this course is calc 2

😂

[cunning osprey]

The problem sets take 10-20+ hours a week, if you know what you're doing. Make sure you find a good group to work with, and hope that you have a good TA to help with the homework.

dafuq

[native hatch]

yeah

lmao

[cunning osprey]

and 1601 is somehow worse...

may god bless ur soul bruh

[native hatch]

well i mean the psets aren’t that long

they still take 10h

[cunning osprey]

looking at reddit posts abt 2801, they say brian cole taught the course well

bro does not give two shits abt 1601

[native hatch]

i’m a valid complainer

maybe not entirely but yk

[vague basin]

i love complaining but hate the core or else me and columbia would be soulmates

[devout mirage]

same

[quasi kayak]

yeah i love columbia but now the core feels a little limiting 😭

[devout mirage]

if columbia didnt have the core i'd ED

[native hatch]

you don’t even have core if ur seas

[devout mirage]

alkie convinced me out of ED

[native hatch]

both are valid

i won’t have core if i’m dead

[native hatch]

alkie doesn’t even go to columbia bruh

be so fr

you let a yale anon convince u out of columbia

[devout mirage]

its just the core

i cant double major

[native hatch]

seas kids don’t suffer our core

you can

in a 3+2 program

[devout mirage]

do you get financial aid for the 5th year?

[native hatch]

Yes

that’s how i’m probably doing a mpa

maybe

[devout mirage]

idk probably wouldve still been too expensive

that's an extra 20k

[quasi kayak]

you can do a BA and BS in 3+2

[devout mirage]

i love columbia dont get me wrong it's just i'd have to move far away from my family and have a rigid curriculum

thats what ultimately prevented me

[quasi kayak]

meh

i’ll live w it now i guess 😭

[devout mirage]

yeah we both do

[native hatch]

my friend did that

but the curriculum rlly isn’t rigid for seas

whatsoever

the only core you really have is a writing class

[quasi kayak]

yeah that’s so crazy (cc applicant 😍)

[native hatch]

like

[devout mirage]

well i cant change it now 😭

[quasi kayak]

i’m kinda disappointed concentratikns r gone

also scholarships only decrease student contribution??

[wise haven]

bro

well i wasnt getting one anyways

[cunning osprey]

didnt mean that u didnt care abt 1601 if thats what ur saying. sry if u took it that way

[quasi kayak]

[wise haven]

eveyrtime i think about my caps and supps

i think

[cunning osprey]

[cunning osprey]

that would just be arrogance

[quasi kayak]

[vague basin]

[quasi kayak]

i wrote my caps in a night and i think ab how that is the worst thing ever

and i submitted it to columbia

[wise haven]

eh youll be fine

no risk no rewrad

[devout mirage]

i think ive bc of the minor success ive had im able to be confident but man i wasnt before that

[vague basin]

so many ppl ik applied ed to columbia plus dec 14 is ivy early day

and im gonna switch to ed brown so i prob get my decision then too

[native hatch]

there’s a lot of good things about columbia

[quasi kayak]

[wise haven]

i mean i hope i get in but

[devout mirage]

10s everywhere

[wise haven]

its not loking up so i gotta do smth about it

[wise haven]

dorms

and the hallways are kinda cramped lowkey

[quasi kayak]

need to find me a rich finance husband and i can do my thing

[vague basin]

ngl i was putting off supps cuz i kept think about the match but i need to grind now

[wise haven]

yeah thats what i said

i was like damn

[devout mirage]

[wise haven]

[devout mirage]

im preparing for the worst case scenario

so i already finished all

[vague basin]

i got cornell and harvard done

now i need to do the qbrd ones

[wise haven]

sigh they all jsut look so

bad

[native hatch]

i’m doing physics right now but everyone is hot yes and the store across the street has $6.99 sushi (12 pieces) every friday

[wise haven]

i dont wanna write or research

nothing i write will feel worthy of being writing

[mental garnet]

[devout mirage]

isnt there crab fridays or something

[mental garnet]

seeing all the qb decisions is driving me crazy

when will it be me

[quasi kayak]

CALY PLSSSSSS

[native hatch]

[devout mirage]

caly realized im a mod now

[wise haven]

tf

[native hatch]

also the community is very nice

i’m with a group of 4

[quasi kayak]

law library slaps

[native hatch]

I CANT GET INOT LAW LIBRARY

HOW DO I DO THAT

[quasi kayak]

idk i feel like everyone has this regret period omfg

[native hatch]

i went to the gate

[quasi kayak]

maybe i’m overthinking it

[native hatch]

and they said no undergrads

[quasi kayak]

i just need to get off this harvard kick 😭

[native hatch]

everyone does

[wise haven]

bruh

[native hatch]

harvard fucking sucks

[quasi kayak]

catch it

[wise haven]

harvard is kinda ass

[native hatch]

ok need to finish physics. love y’all

[wise haven]

i mean its a good school and i would go but

eh

[quasi kayak]

i can’t believe that scholarships only decrease my student contribution WDYMMMMM

[devout mirage]

thats why i REA

hopefully i get in rea and can choose 🙏🙏

[quasi kayak]

yeah i think i made the wrong choice

it’s fine though

i look good in baby blue

[devout mirage]

youll like it cj

if u felt compelled to ED its the right choice

[quasi kayak]

yall think i could appeal to get my student contribution higher and my parent contribution lower 😭😭 they can’t afford nothin

[wise haven]

prolly

[vague basin]

def do it

did u match through qb?

[quasi kayak]

naur

i’m just speaking in hypotheticals

[vague basin]

oh

but yh do that

[quasi kayak]

core is a gpa booster for my premed girlies

[fleet agate]

Would I still have a good chance for ED or wait for RD? I did not match for Questbridge and was considering to ED to Columbia

Would anyone have any ideas if it would be harder since I heard legacies, athletes etc will also do ED and lower my chances?

[devout mirage]

ED if u wanna go

[fleet agate]

Bet

[mental garnet]

have you already ed'd to columbia?

[quasi kayak]

it doesn’t sound like it but i think they’re saying they’d changing to ed after qb

[mental garnet]

ohhhh

[fleet agate]

Yeah I did qb but didn’t match, I can move my application to ED

Or stick with RD

I might do ED but still not sure

[wise haven]

If u want to ED and like the school enough then ED

[fleet agate]

Aii bet might as well! Thanks

[quasi kayak]

did u get any likely additions in ur letter

[fleet agate]

Nah just a email to do ED if you want

[quasi kayak]

i see

[fleet agate]

Which everyone gets if they ranked it and was not matched

Yeah

[quasi kayak]

if you want to go and would rather go there than anywhere apply ed

[fleet agate]

Yeah ima ED and hope for the best

[quasi kayak]

u n me both sister

do ppl go to the columbia bball gamez

[native hatch]

Yes

i’ve gone to one

[quasi kayak]

okay slay

wish wvb wasn’t terrible but at least there’s one sport ppl actually enjoy

[native hatch]

feel free to asks questions now i’m free

[quasi kayak]

i don’t really have any other questions

i feel like columbia is everyone’s second option and that makes me sad 😭😭

[quasi kayak]

do u think ppl have an “i hate this place” energybc that’s what i hear from mit and cornell

[west gazelle]

Why?

[quasi kayak]

isk i saw those tiktoks where everyone’s like “this wasn’t my first choice” i just have that delulu energy

[native hatch]

it’s very mixed. it’s a love hate energy

it’s been dreary here i am stressed and very low energy

but at least i am sober

most people here are not

[quasi kayak]

this is not inspiring confidence

[native hatch]

well it’s also very pretty rn

i’ll feel better in spring

the lights are pretty

[quasi kayak]

eat

i love columbia but i’m also scared

the core is the one thing i’m scared of

[native hatch]

the core isn’t scary

get good profs and it’s easy

i have like a 99.5 in lit hum

[quasi kayak]

scary in that it takes all of my time

[native hatch]

it doesn’t

[quasi kayak]

in that i can’t take the classes i want tho 😭😍

[native hatch]

and i’m a double stem major

imo core enables you to take classes

you get to explore art/music/literature history stuff, philosophy, 2 random global core of ur choice

a lot of stuff you wouldn’t take normally

[quasi kayak]

gpa booster ayyyy
