[untold hill]

i cannot relax, my acceptance was a file mixup 💀

[undone plover]

Yeah soz just got an email from your ao

You’re getting rescinded bozo

[gloomy ferry]

your acceptance was 100% because of your effort and you deserve every word in that acceptance letter

[tropic yarrow]

yep same, altho some of the promptss were very tempting to answer.

[gloomy ferry]

plus they're not cruel enough to come back and say oh oopsies! even if they did mix up

[untold hill]

no it means rejection

[undone plover]

Sorry should’ve dropped it on polar coordinates

[gloomy ferry]

cartesian
fake portal astrology at least do it right smh

[tropic yarrow]

they'd prolly accept you for the quirky ass observation

[floral fog]

what time do the decisions come out? just curious

on a2c

[upper tendon]

thats long by indian standards

[upper tendon]

what happened

[keen yew]

peopel are saying they got switched to RD

in their portal

[upper tendon]

maybe they didnt complete all their application materials

[keen yew]

hmmm

maybe

[upper tendon]

no no stop chloe will axe this thread

[frigid flare]

would be really funny if they accidentally did that early 💀

[keen yew]

ohhh

what

why

[hazy lark]

that would make sense but there's no point in reading into it too much

[lapis veldt]

also where would they even see that? the website isn't even laid out like that 💀

[keen yew]

hmm okay

[frigid flare]

top right

[keen yew]

did y’all submit the video intro?

[frigid flare]

or wait

no they removed that

[hazy lark]

prob j glitches as they update the portal

[upper tendon]

nope i recorded it but decided it wa too shitty

[lapis veldt]

yeah since you can't change it anymore

[proper fulcrum]

mine was so bad too 😭

[keen yew]

mine was rough

but i submitted

[proper fulcrum]

same...hopefully it doesnt ruin my app

[keen yew]

i actually spent a lot of time on it

[proper fulcrum]

o did you do something similar to the ones on youtube?

[keen yew]

but it didn’t turn out exactly as i hoped

[proper fulcrum]

mine was just talking and walking and very conversational

[keen yew]

mine i did voice over of some clips

[proper fulcrum]

ah ya thats very common

[main pasture]

i didnt do it

[proper fulcrum]

like the brown ones/

[keen yew]

yah!

cause I COULDNT talk

[proper fulcrum]

yea some current friends ik say that those are usually very good, but they honestly prefer a more authenic conversation, so i heeded that advice

bc some of those videos are extremely high quality, so u competing against some insane ppl

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Ptm1muL68

mine was like this but i was just walking 💀

read this and i used it as an excuse not to make a typical montage voice over

(i was just lazy but ngl i think it captured my voice nonetheless)

[thorn cloud]

my profile video was recorded by a professional cinema company

but it was for something else, i just repurposed it for this

[keen yew]

uh oh

[gloomy ferry]

my mom's convinced decisions come dec 21

[keen yew]

i just read from a script

now i’m scared

i haven’t told my fam abt decisions coming out today

😁😁

[gloomy ferry]

[random pagoda]

[neat compass]

Le eddie dropping by to wish u guys great luck today

[upper tendon]

:D

[gloomy ferry]

it's unhinged but im hoping it's unhinged enough to be quirjt

Quirky

[upper tendon]

No but like seriously explain your video I'm confused

[noble field]

I did a voiceover and realized how scripted it sounded

[upper tendon]

Same and then i just didn't submit cause exams

[random pagoda]

3.5 hours

[gloomy ferry]

i made each of my roommates talk about me

said roommates were things like piano, bookmark, gavel, dog that i voiced over

when I was voicing over the piano i sang it

cuz like music

and idk why i defaulted to blank space

[upper tendon]

Accha that's interesting

[noble field]

Damn that’s clever

[gloomy ferry]

but it happened

[thin sluice]

3.5 hours left or what??

[steep vine]

honestly i dont how good the video is actually matters. they simply want to see a glimpse of your personality and some things that are not mentioned on your app

[thin sluice]

when is it exactly

[upper tendon]

Cause it's blank space duh

[gloomy ferry]

3 hrs 25 minutes actually

[thin sluice]

alright yup

[gloomy ferry]

i think it was stuck in my head lol

[upper tendon]

Idk maybe usually hopefully

[thin sluice]

right track

[teal glen]

Dw

[gloomy ferry]

my intro was basically im a creative writer so the best way i know to express myself is through the voices of characters

let's look at some characters

[thin sluice]

i didnt submit the video profile 😭

[gloomy ferry]

[thin sluice]

uchicago more like easy clap

[lost swallow]

[gloomy ferry]

"Penn '?"

[heavy glade]

is ea rate that much lower than ed1

[glossy spoke]

someone i havnt seen before comes in like every 20 mins, asks when the thing comes out, and then disappears

[lost swallow]

in some days they were interchangeable

[mystic hinge]

Uchicago

[gloomy ferry]

yes

[mystic hinge]

ED

[lost swallow]

ea acceptance is like 1-4%

they tend to defer a lot

[heavy glade]

ed1?

[gloomy ferry]

dk if its accurate but someone said ed is 40%+ ea is <5%

[heavy glade]

ed 40%??

damn

[fading socket]

REA'd princeton and was rejected

[mystic hinge]

[gloomy ferry]

[lost swallow]

they missed out

[lost swallow]

you too 🕯️

[fading socket]

same for upenn

[gloomy ferry]

this is why you apply to a school like gtown where they dont reject anybody early 🤩

[lost swallow]

[random lintel]

[lost swallow]

🫡

[gloomy ferry]

[mystic hinge]

Oh EA

[gloomy ferry]

yeah i know if i get deferred im not getting in bcuz edii crazy competitive lol

[gloomy ferry]

[lost swallow]

i put effort into them man 😔

[frigid flare]

[fading socket]

if uchicago accepts you r u committing?

[lost swallow]

my parents didn’t want me to either but after rejected from penn i think they realized ill need the boost lmao

[gloomy ferry]

try to sleep well, they're only doing it for your benefit and health.

[glossy spoke]

🤢 🤢 🤮

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[frigid flare]

SO RELATABLE

[gloomy ferry]

my parents want me to go to college in cali and will only lemme uchi if good financial offer lol

[lost swallow]

not right away, i really want to apply to Princeton, Cornell, and Gtown so id wait to hear back from those first

[frigid flare]

it's literally hard for me to eat my stomach hurts so bad

[lost swallow]

are you from cali?

[lost swallow]

good luck!!!!

[frigid flare]

you're us citizen right? are you counted as international

[fading socket]

my parents saw me get rejected from princeton and know that uchi is my best shot at a t20 anyway, so they're behind the ed2 strat

[gloomy ferry]

i mean i was born there but currently live in india but i have a shit ton of relatives there + since we lived there before my parents are like v comfortable with the area and everything

[gloomy ferry]

no im counted as domestic

thats my major boost lol

[lost swallow]

sameeee lmao

[frigid flare]

this is so epic

[thin sluice]

ohh 😭

[lost swallow]

tbh i’m a little annoyed with how my parents reacted

[thin sluice]

that makes sense

[lost swallow]

living in india must be pretty cool

[pulsar barn]

ed2 uchicago is not ur best chance they take significantly less ppl

[thin sluice]

trust me its not

[pulsar barn]

uchicago ed1 is a cheatcode

ed2 not so much

[gloomy ferry]

it is like im so glad i did my high school here but i really wanna go to college in the us

[frigid flare]

better than california at any rate

[lost swallow]

i should have done ed1 mannnn

[hazy lark]

i've just been checking the portal at the top of every hour hoping for something

[fading socket]

damn

[frigid flare]

imma lose with a cheat code

[hazy lark]

this wait is killing me

[gloomy ferry]

[thin sluice]

[gloomy ferry]

cbse 🤡

[thin sluice]

LMFAO SAME

[pulsar barn]

i expect many of u will get in uchicago ed1

[thin sluice]

😭

[lost swallow]

i think this is a bit of an understatement

[fading socket]

maybe i should have done ed1 uchicago and not princeton rea

[lost swallow]

they still take a good amount ed2

[thin sluice]

i fucking hate this curriculum

[pulsar barn]

how do you mean

[thin sluice]

with all my life

[lost swallow]

ed2 still gives a definite boost

[hazy lark]

ED2 is still a way better shot than RD or EA, i've heard

[lost swallow]

even if it’s less people

[pulsar barn]

absolutely

but wayyyyyy less a shot than ed1

[lost swallow]

atleast princeton gives you peace of mind

[thin sluice]

i feel like

[gloomy ferry]

damn pcm?

[thin sluice]

they dont care either way

[pulsar barn]

ed1 is like a ridiculous acceptance rate

[rich sapphire]

the other active uchi ppl in this discord server and i all applied RD!! yall still have a chance

[thin sluice]

PCM CS 💀

[lean kestrel]

[pulsar barn]

[thin sluice]

CBSE is so fucked

[pulsar barn]

[thin sluice]

[rich sapphire]

good luck!!

[gloomy ferry]

LOL i had phy yesterday

[lost swallow]

ok this could be me waffling but from what i heard from others the breakdown might be like this:

10% accept
40% defer
50% reject

obviously these numbers aren’t accurate but generally i think a good chunk is rejected, a slightly smaller chunk deferred

[gloomy ferry]

physics chem math

[thin sluice]

Physics Chem Math

[glossy spoke]

oh

[gloomy ferry]

bro cbse is actually cool if us colleges gave credit for it

genuinely so advanced

[glossy spoke]

like in one year?

[thin sluice]

yeah

[gloomy ferry]

nah accept is <5%

[rich sapphire]

ya that sounds reasonable

[thin sluice]

it works differently than APs

you take it both years

[pulsar barn]

10% accepted ea is a stretch

like a massive one

[thin sluice]

and you take it in the prescribed order, all students together

[upper tendon]

CBSE is probably the best givernment exam board out there

[thin sluice]

rigor yes

[glossy spoke]

ohh okay

[thin sluice]

its best among indian ones

but 💀

[upper tendon]

ICSE though

[thin sluice]

[upper tendon]
