Cornell University (2023-2024)

[glad siren]

okay

[weak valve]

average

B average

[glad siren]

so just cant drop more than 10 pts

[weak valve]

its more so

if u were getting As

and then get a

C

or a D

D is withdrawal territory

C they usually ask wtf is wrong w u

[left valve]

As go out strong!

[glad siren]

ok yea ill prob aim for 85 +

but prob end up with As

cuz i will be paranoid abt Bs

[weak valve]

yeah

allegedly

[glad siren]

i think maybe in 1 class i might have a B

[weak valve]

for humec last year

they were nitpicky as fuck.

[shell prairie]

I think if I get a b they're gonna withdraw

[weak valve]

they called ppl out for Bs

in humec

[glad siren]

whats humec

[weak valve]

not in engineering

[weak valve]

the college

[glad siren]

oh i did CAS

i heard how harvard contact some dude cuz he had some Bs

[weak valve]

withdrawal isnt a "omg their avergae gpa from all four years dipped"

[glad siren]

but just as a polite warning

[weak valve]

they know what kind of student u are

[glad siren]

not anything rescinded

[weak valve]

its not like getting all As senior year last semester will help ur application

its more so they want u to remain on the trend u are

[glad siren]

yea i just need high enough to where im not getting rescinded

[weak valve]

and they get concerned if u suddenly drop a lot

[shell prairie]

Ye bro i need to be on the positive trend

[glad siren]

but like overall im gonna care less about school

and more abt having fun

in last sem

[weak valve]

i never had

senioritis

unless u count like

all four years of hs

having it

[glad siren]

like you always liked going to school?

[weak valve]

i love going to school

[shell prairie]

I did until hgih school

[weak valve]

gets me out of my house

[shell prairie]

Then it fell off

[glad siren]

i dont mind going to school

i just dont like trying

[weak valve]

oh yeah

i never tried

all of hs

i just coasted 😅

[glad siren]

i just wanna go to school come home and chil

[shell prairie]

Same

[weak valve]

i did start trying like

midterms of jr year

or senior

but that was it

[shell prairie]

I ain't getting in any colleges

[glad siren]

bro just smart

[weak valve]

my hs coddled us

but was also rlly hard

[shell prairie]

my hs has severe gpa inflatiob

[weak valve]

i just dont miss deadlines and have good teacher relationships

[shell prairie]

So I'm kinda screwed

[glad siren]

does that mean ur transition from hs to college was harder

[weak valve]

i went to ivy prep

[shell prairie]

I thoguht college is easier

[glad siren]

thats a school?

[weak valve]

..?

its a type of school

its a private rigorous hs

[glad siren]

oh

[weak valve]

😭

[shell prairie]

Bro is rich I keep forgetting

[glad siren]

like andover?

[weak valve]

8 intense classes every day with hw in each and like often several quizzes/essays/tests a week

[velvet oak]

how long is a good teacher rec? like the word count?

[weak valve]

cornell difficulty in workload

[glad siren]

oh i only have 3 😂

[weak valve]

is

10% of my hs

[shell prairie]

Did you not waive rights or something

[weak valve]

my main difficulty in transition was the grade weighting

[velvet oak]

i did, my teacher showed my one of the recs lol

[weak valve]

ive never had finals

or anything like that

[glad siren]

yea i dont either

[weak valve]

but the workload and rigor are easier

[shell prairie]

That's crazy

[weak valve]

or the same

[glad siren]

this late?

[weak valve]

like i be having

[shell prairie]

My school said we had to waive rights or they wouldn't send anything

[glad siren]

arent most apps due by now

[weak valve]

1-3 assignments in each of my 6 classes per week

[velvet oak]

nah i just got worried rn

out of nowhere

[shell prairie]

tyvm

[shell prairie]

[shell prairie]

[shell prairie]

My parents won't do that

[weak valve]

columbia uni

[weak valve]

[shell prairie]

No

[weak valve]

.

ick

[shell prairie]

I have my own checking account tho

That I get deposits in

[weak valve]

😭

[shell prairie]

Idk how

[weak valve]

[shell prairie]

I'm not 18 bruh

Oh

Don't you have to get approved

[weak valve]

there r lots of student cards

that just take u

like discover

oh

a con about cornell

theres like

no atms

other than cufc and tompkins

[shell prairie]

Do they not charge insane fees

[weak valve]

and who uses those companies

[ionic belfry]

Statler has one

[weak valve]

😭

[shell prairie]

Why do you need an atm

[weak valve]

no? its student cards so its no fees

[ionic belfry]

You don’t need an ATM tho

[weak valve]

for bofa?

im p sure my accounts need branded atms

[ionic belfry]

I think

[shell prairie]

Wait why do you need an atm tho

[weak valve]

to put in money

[ionic belfry]

Direct deposit

[shell prairie]

Where tf are u getting cash from

[weak valve]

at cvs or 7/11?

[weak valve]

i carry cash on me

i couldnt deposit at home

[ionic belfry]

Bae do you know what direct deposit is

[weak valve]

no

[shell prairie]

Why tho

[weak valve]

bc i wasnt gonna bring 3k with me

into nyc

to open my checking account

[ionic belfry]

It’s when your employer automatically sends your paycheck to your savings/checking account

[weak valve]

..

LOL

[shell prairie]

I just use my phone to pay for stuff

[weak valve]

i only brought like

700

oh

i dont mean carry cash in my wallet

i mean like

i have a stash of like 2k

in random places

[shell prairie]

Why tho

[weak valve]

bc my mom didnt let me open a checking

so i had to open it secretyl

and i repeat

i wasnt gonna bring 3k in cash

into nyc

to open the account

😭

[shell prairie]

Oh

You need to deposit money to open an account?

[weak valve]

idk im just gonna yolo and deposit it locally now

while im home

[weak valve]

idk but i was opening it for a reason so i put money in it

so i could pay off my credit card

😭

iirc it was a student banking checking

so i didnt need any money

unless the minimum was like

100 or smth

[shell prairie]

My account is Cosigned capital one

[weak valve]

lol capital one rejected my request for a credit card

😭

[shell prairie]

I didn't store any money in it before tho cause I didn't want my parents to see I was spending g money on val

[weak valve]

actual bs

[shell prairie]

So I would put it in cash app and then buy using cash app

[weak valve]

yeah thats why i made my secret checking

[shell prairie]

Sucks tho cause cashapp won't let me chargeback

[weak valve]

whats chargeback

[shell prairie]

Claim to get money back

[weak valve]

i dont have an employer

i just have money

😭

[shell prairie]

Same

Sec I need to get my nitro for the year rq brb

[weak valve]

ew

[shell prairie]

?

[weak valve]

waste of mooney

[shell prairie]

I'm not buying it bruh

[ionic belfry]

Secret checking is crazy

[shell prairie]

I didn't buy half my Val skins either

[ionic belfry]

What mailing address did you put

[shell prairie]

You don't have one?

[weak valve]

cornell

i have 2 checkings and 2 credit cards

[shell prairie]

Maybe only asiaj kids have them

[weak valve]

one of each is like

my own

and one of each is

my mom demands the passwords

and access

[shell prairie]

Oh yeah

[weak valve]

highkey illegal

but

[shell prairie]

My mom was giving my brother money for his college right

Bro spent it on some anime website

I died of cringe

[velvet oak]

how do i decide if submitting a research abstract would help my application or not?

[weak valve]

my mom promised me $50 per week allowance and never did anything other than yell at me for spending less than that when i came home for thanksgiving

and she didnt even

give the allowance

[shell prairie]

My parents don't give me allowance it's ok

My discord friends give me stuff

[weak valve]

me neither but its uni

[ionic belfry]

I have a checking account but not secret

[weak valve]

ur white

[ionic belfry]

Most of my money is in investments tho

[weak valve]

😦

[shell prairie]

Nitro method

[weak valve]

just join the edating servers

like the discord public ones

[velvet oak]

did you submit any research to cornell during admission?

[weak valve]

😶

[ionic belfry]

Nah

I think hs research is fake ngl

[shell prairie]

Bruh

[shell prairie]

You think I haven't?

Those servers are mid

[weak valve]

then whyd u ask me what edating was

💀

[velvet oak]

won't disagree

[weak valve]

all research is fake

fake news

[shell prairie]

cause idk what it is

secured the bag

[velvet oak]

While your research does not fall squarely within the traditional STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) fields, it does incorporate elements of social sciences and environmental science. The research investigates the relationship between public perspectives, aesthetic preferences, and conservation initiatives, making it more interdisciplinary in nature.

if a college asks for stem research

mine won't fit in right?

[velvet oak]

i asked AI about my research

[manic ether]

hell o

yeah im like 99.99% sure im not in

[velvet oak]

stay positive man

[velvet oak]

and help me with this if u can

[manic ether]

the positivity left my body years ago bruv

[manic ether]

id say go for it but idk im not valid advice

[velvet oak]

who should I even consult

[velvet oak]

did you ed/ea somewhere?

[manic ether]

EAd publics yeah

[ionic hearth]

omg car

[velvet oak]

did that takeaway your positivity or is it just life?

[manic ether]

life

[weak valve]

I applied mit and uchi rd

Bc i was lazy

😅😅

Only early j did was uiuc, my ed to jhu, rit and suny

So basically safeties and ed

And then uiuc

For no reason

😭

[manic ether]

i did 12 EA

2 rd

lkmfao

[weak valve]

I did 16 rd

Oh

13

Ucs count as early too ig

[hybrid temple]

twins !

[manic ether]

i counted 1 by accident so i applied 14 total

[weak valve]

I did exactly 20 which was my upper cap even tho i wasnt consciously restricting myself

[manic ether]

if i were in a better state grades wise id apply to like

[weak valve]

Ik i decided to not apply havrard pton or upenn

[manic ether]

maybe stanford mit or smth

at max

[weak valve]

My gpa was shit

I applied to apply

😭

[manic ether]

yeah you go to a rigorous private school

[weak valve]

Our school profile

That gets sent

Is funny

[manic ether]

i go to a public school where more than half the kids dont know shit and grading (a particular screw you to my freshman year teachers who came back senior year) are ass

your gpa and my gpa are different

and you got legacy shit lmao

[weak valve]

💀

This is lower than i thought

[manic ether]

how do i find this at my school

found it

[weak valve]

Idk i googled my hs name

And school profile

[restive raven]

college of human ecology

[manic ether]

aint no way

these guys dont run half the shit theyre saying

[restive raven]

i think cornell allows research supplementals but i just want to know if they take full papers or abstracts

[manic ether]

my school's mean SAT is just over 1000

i have a 34/basically around a 1520

[restive raven]

obviously full papers are better but some schools ask only for abstract like columbia so im worried @haughty crown

[haughty crown]

Hmm

Did uou look at the admission page for human ecology?

[glad siren]

1430 is crazy high

[manic ether]

am i chillin

[glad siren]

But consider it’s private ivy prep

Ig it makes sense

[glad siren]

Mine is like 1190

[manic ether]

the highest gpa was a 4.7

i have a 4.3

shit

4.4 take out covid (ik taking it out isint valid it makes me feel a bit better about myself 💀 )

[weak valve]

Bruh

They deleted the page of our school profile

That shows our grade distribution

😭

Gpa optional moment

[glad siren]

They don’t post that for us

Idk why

[weak valve]

Imagine having gpa

😃

[glad siren]

Whar does 14 day refer to

Left of winter break?

[manic ether]

my school is majority white though

by like a hair

[weak valve]

Yes

[weak valve]

51% of color for our co2024

💀

LOL

[manic ether]

51% white lmao

this wont do anything though

[manic ether]

this year has unusually cracked people and im scared

ik atleast 2 people got in ED 1 got in REA

[glad siren]

For which schools

[manic ether]

all ivies/ t10s

although im the only one who noticed liked

obscure things about cornell

because i was focused on here instead of shotgunning

[haughty crown]

Wdym

[manic ether]

obscure classes that cornell requires

organizations that just formed that cornell is in

[haughty crown]

Oh cool.

[manic ether]

im coping

physically cant get in so

cornell really gotta see potential for me to get in

i doubt i have any

[shell prairie]

bro whyd i look up my profile 💀

im top 77%

W

at least im above the mean sat score

[manic ether]

34 = 1500

but 34 ranges up to 1520

[shell prairie]

wait i frogot my own gpa

im top 50% for weighted

gpa inflation is crazy

[manic ether]

from my score breakdowns my ACT converts to 710 ebrw and 790 math

[shell prairie]

isnt the 36 on the act like 1560 on the sat

i forgot

[manic ether]

1590 officially

[shell prairie]

oh wait its above 1560

[manic ether]

my SAT was a 750 ebrw 730 math

[shell prairie]

bruh i should have took the act

the sat kept tripping me up

[manic ether]

i submitted the ACT

[shell prairie]

with their stupid wording

[shell prairie]

never took the act

[restive raven]

they dont rly tell me anything specific on there

all i see are like random collegeconfidential posts from a decade ago

it doesn't say anywhere that we can't submit one so im guessing i should be fine?

[manic ether]

i would have def subbmitted the act

but should i have also submitted the sat

[ionic belfry]

Yay another coffee chat done

[eager acorn]

yall have any alumni interviewer tips :))

[manic ether]

i forgot if i opte4d in

i did

idt im getting it

[prime abyss]

same ngl

[lavish marlin]

idk mine was pretty nice and chill. Come prepared with questions! I asked specific questions about my major (sadly mine the alumni wasn't my major), the unique experiences at cornell, what the alumni liked about cornell, and the standard of Why Cornell and Why Major cuz they ask that. But even when they ask those questions it's very low stakes so don't worry

[prime abyss]

"I asked about my major (sadly mine wasn't my major)" wdym

[manic ether]

i doubt people from my area go to cornell tbh

[prime abyss]

like the alumni or

[lavish marlin]

i was a cs major and they were biology

[manic ether]

alteast cornell engineering

[prime abyss]

i see

[weak valve]

Prep questions and relax

Its time for u to learn more abt cornell

Not talk abt urself

Interviewer is usually from ur area sonucan prep questions based on that to

Too

Never ask an interviewer to shame something

In my opinion

[ionic hearth]

Don't worry about it, non-evaluative - ask questions and just have a conversation. this is more like making a potential friend rather than a real itnerview

[ionic hearth]

fafasa time 😨

[eager acorn]

Huh

[weak valve]

Idk its smth i heard more for other uni interviews

But dont like

Ask them to compare two universities

Thereby putting down one in turn for cornell or smth

[ionic hearth]

LMAOO

my interviewer did this on his own

[ionic hearth]

today i told cornell that im dropping gym

hopefully nothing happens

since its nonacademic

[glad siren]

Why would you take it anyways

[whole grove]

isn’t that illegal

[glad siren]

If u don’t need the credit

[ionic hearth]

i needed half a year of credit

LMAO

but the way my school works

[glad siren]

Oh

[ionic hearth]

i had to schedule it first semester

but now that i'm fit for graduation

im dropping it

[glad siren]

Then just tell Cornell it was planned

[ionic hearth]

idk does that make sense

yea

[ionic hearth]

I did

[glad siren]

Yea then ur fine

So what did u replace it with

A class or like early release

[ionic hearth]

I want to report that I recently dropped the last semester of Basketball (Gym) from my schedule. The basketball class is not a sport nor an academic class; rather, it is a physical education class that I was required to take due to graduation requirements for the state of California. 

California graduation requirements dictate that I take 2 years of Physical Education. Due to complications arising from a change in high schools across state lines, I was required to take a semester of gym to graduate. I did so in the form of Basketball, for the first semester of my senior year. However, now that I am finished with that graduation requirement, I have elected to drop it. 

Basketball is non-academic and after dropping the class I am still on track to graduate. I might have already reported my schedule showing only a semester of basketball, but I wanted to confirm that Cornell knows by sending this email. 

[ionic hearth]

I'm just filling it

i was overloading before

taking 7 classes w/ a zero

so just

like

now a standard schedule with no 0

[glad siren]

Oh

Zero period

That sucks

[ionic hearth]

yea

actually

there are advantages

because there is no traffic

[ionic belfry]

My hs had mandatory 4 years 😭

[ionic hearth]

but

[glad siren]

Yea but I’d rather sleep in

[ionic hearth]

the classes are so sleepy

[ionic hearth]

very fair

[glad siren]

Oh hell nah

[ionic hearth]

honestly i wanted to keep my 0

but my mom didn't want to keep waking up early which is very fair

since she had to drop both me and my brother off

[glad siren]

Oh yea

U don’t drive to school?

[ionic hearth]

Noooo

i am afraid to death of driving 😭

[glad siren]

☠️

[ionic hearth]

I've turned 18 and i haven't stepped foot in the drivers seat

[glad siren]

Bro u have to learn at some point

[ionic hearth]

i've taken the permit test and i have a learners permit but i think thats expiring

[glad siren]

I got my license two days after I turned 16

[ionic hearth]

so yea i have to learn or something idk

[ionic hearth]

do i though

what if i move to like

new york

or singapore

[glad siren]

Ig but it’s a good thing to know

Rental cars

If u rent a boat

Need a license

Lot of applications

[ionic hearth]

true

i will probably learn this summer idk

and just not drive

[glad siren]

Also I’m confused how can you be a he/him and a they/them

[ionic hearth]

i don't mind, whichever one u use works

[glad siren]

Oh I see

I was just clarifying

[ionic hearth]

yea np

some people ik would rather not go by they/them but I'm fine with it as a gender neutral pronoun

[glad siren]

Luckily at Cornell u don’t need to drive

[ionic hearth]

yea

plus driving is like

[glad siren]

Unless u need to go to nyc but u can bus

[ionic hearth]

really expensive at cornell

[ionic hearth]

this is probably what i'd so

*do

cars r also expensive

[glad siren]

Yea

[manic ether]

ill have to take gym for the last time starting next week

[weak valve]

lowkey

not having a car sometimes infuriating

bc every store trip

has to be planned

decently

other than that its ok

[manic ether]

@weak valve is public transport good there

like a bus system or smth

[weak valve]

define good

[manic ether]

uhhhh

it exists

[weak valve]

clean ? meh

[manic ether]

and you can travel quickly between places

[weak valve]

on time ? meh

[weak valve]

mor bad than meh

[weak valve]

well its a bus

theres nothing quick abt a bus

😭

[manic ether]

fair

[weak valve]

it makes stops

also if its full ur forced to walk anyways

[manic ether]

idrk if i need to make trips to ith or shopping runs i just want to know i dont have to walk all the way

not like its terribly far but

[weak valve]

u dont

its jsut

u have to like

plan it

idk ive waited like

45 min for the bus

[manic ether]

fair

[weak valve]

not bc it was laate

but bc thats the schedule

[manic ether]

alr

[weak valve]

when i was tryna come back

from dt

also target runs ive never had a non rushed target run

bc we r tryna make the bus before it goes all the way back around

the route

[manic ether]

rip

[weak valve]

its like

u either have a 30 min shopping trip or a 2 hr one

or smht

my friends like to jog to the target mall tho

[manic ether]

cant inbetween it

sucks

[weak valve]

not too far; its a literal straight shot

[prime oxide]

Is everything far

[weak valve]

define far

[prime oxide]

Um

10 mins

One way

Walking

[serene fractal]

SHIT i just realized i made a typo in my cas essay

i mentioned one of my ecs but only said the first word of the title

so it's just like "Project"

[prime oxide]

You could email them

[serene fractal]

i really like the rest of my essay so it's a really minor part of it but it's still bugging me

do u think email would just draw more attention? or could i actually just ask them to leave a note that there was a typo there

[prime oxide]

I don’t know how it works

So it’s rly up to you

[weak valve]

yes

from north to central (like most common central) its abt 20 min

walk

north is freshie dorms

[prime oxide]

Okay okay

That’s unfortunate

[ionic belfry]

10 min gets you to like Goldwin

Maybe a little further

From the dorms

[glad siren]

R u allowed to have a car first ye

Year

[ionic belfry]

Yeah Just pay for parking

[prime oxide]

How bad is it

[ionic belfry]

I think a couple hundred idk

[prime oxide]

Per day?

[glad siren]

Bruh

No way it’s a few hundred a day

[prime oxide]

lol

I’m kidding

[glad siren]

Prob per month or smtg

[prime oxide]

Probably per semester hopefully

[weak valve]

700

for both sems i think

like 750

eithe rboth sems or each sem

theres a cheaper alternative

but im gatekeeping

😅

[prime oxide]

Que es

[weak valve]

im gatekeeping

[manic ether]

tf do you need a car for

your in like a city with a population of 2 people

or something like that

[weak valve]

easier shopping bc trunk, easier transport of not needing bus schedule, drives to syr or cortland or bing or nyc on a whim

[prime oxide]

Hi gatekeeping

[prime oxide]

Seems appealing…

[weak valve]

yeah

im gonna try to convince parents soph year

get a position at smth in syracuse

which would basically mandate it

W manipulation

[prime oxide]

Yeah and then do one day a semester or smth

Just for car

[weak valve]

well

no

ideally id actually get hrs

1 hr drive isnt bad

[prime oxide]

Oh so true

[weak valve]

j the weather lowkey scary

but if i do it often it wont be bad

[manic ether]

ill buy a car when its time tbh

[prime oxide]

Is it cold?

[weak valve]

my swim practice for like 7 years was an hr drive 😭

[weak valve]

temperature doesnt affect drviing

😭

[weak valve]

im getting the handmedown family car

[prime oxide]

Yk what I mean 😭

[weak valve]

idk if weve had it bad during the sem

but

[prime oxide]

That’s far

[weak valve]

when my parents and i drove home from admitted students day

[prime oxide]

I mean next sem most likely

[weak valve]

it was pouring

so badly

u couldnt see shit

[prime oxide]

Oh wow

[manic ether]

we got 2 cars

ill buy it on my own tbh

wheni get money

[weak valve]

yeah

we have 2 cars

[manic ether]

lowkey

[weak valve]

i get the handmedown and my mom gets a new one 💀 or prolly not bc my dads moving to norway

[manic ether]

when i turn 21

might get a motorbike

n just use that for a while

[prime oxide]

It’s cheaper right

[manic ether]

yeah

lots

but tbh this is only if i go to college down south

so that specific college better accept me

[prime oxide]

Which school?

[manic ether]

tech school

down south

[prime oxide]

Ohh

Good luck!

[manic ether]

yeah i partially let go of cornell ed for that 💀💀💀

[prime oxide]

Oooo

[manic ether]

lowkey not the smartest move

[ionic hearth]

@ionic belfry sorry for ping but do u think this is ok

[ionic belfry]

Yeah that’s plenty

[weak valve]

[shell prairie]

[ionic hearth]

😔

wounding

[dense ore]

will i bet auto rejected if i apply now

in my defense i wouldve done it but the prompts r too different to recycle essays

or actually i couldve reused some essays im just dumb

[glad siren]

Idk they didn’t officially make an extension

Afaik

[wild spoke]

when do i send my official test scores

[ionic hearth]

actually good point

[rocky prism]

i mean they accepted my application 1 day late so

everyone is saying it should go thru if its before the 10rth

kinda like a hidden extension

[rocky prism]

i doubt it ngl

[rocky prism]

when u get in i think

[prime oxide]

Discrimination :(

[mild oyster]

Rhey alr got in

They

[weak valve]

i think it was in the

"to do list"

[prime oxide]

is it? im looking on the portal and i cant find it

[weak valve]

no like te

fall semester to do list

"before fall semester"

where u get ur netid n shit

[prime oxide]

OHHHHH

nvm im stupid

[weak valve]

idk if i remember correctly

i either just sent it bc common sense and i was rd so timeline was easier

or bc it was in the checklist

😭

[prime oxide]

okay i guess ill wait then for now 😭

ty

[weak valve]

i think i just did like

committed, paid deposit, withdrew all other apps, sent official all at once

[prime oxide]

ohh makes sense

[haughty crown]

Can you submit apps late? Is that what ppl are doing for Cornell?

[weak valve]

people submitted their apps on time

like normal applicants

😭

[haughty crown]

😭 I feel like I’m seeing ppl talk about submitting them recently.

[shell prairie]

i mean u can try

[ionic belfry]

They asked corn for an extension

[inland badge]

I jsut withdrew my application

lol

didnt like my essays

[ionic belfry]

Why 😭

Wasted money kid

[inland badge]

no

app fee waiver

[ionic belfry]

Ah

[ionic belfry]

Why withdraw tho

[inland badge]

I wrote my 650-word fully using chatgpt

was so sick, couldnt even use my brain

felt guilty and withdrew it

also it wasnt good either way

chatgpt is a sucker writer

[placid anvil]

but like

if you actually wanted to apply

and actually wanted to go to the school

why gpt an essay

[inland badge]

wtf happened

[inland badge]

i was so sick

deadline was in like 1-2 hours

and they have now extended the deadline too 😄

lol

[uncut wolf]

I feel like Cornell doesn’t want to reveal their applicant data so that people don’t get discouraged to apply

[weak valve]

Nah

Its bc theyre embarrassied

10% ar as an ivy is embarrassing

Ngfl

Its bc half is state

[uncut wolf]

That’s fair

[manic ether]

they dont have avg gpa on cds

[serene fractal]

i cant really find info online but if i wanted to submit an additional "other" rec letter, can i just have the recommender email it to [email protected]?

[tidal fiber]

avg sat like 1470
