[pulsar pond]

I can't do that

[rancid mural]

[pulsar pond]

it's a bit awkward to me

[minor pecan]

when u stare at camera

you’re looking at them

[pulsar pond]

just try as much as you can

[bitter path]

Stare at their face them

[minor pecan]

from their perspective

[pulsar pond]

I don't think staring straight at the camera all the time would be good

[wise osprey]

https://youtu.be/6j928wBZ_Bo?si=yS1-Yp4B_FYgv4pb

Listen to this lol 😂😂😂

[pulsar pond]

LOL

I SEE YOU LOOKING AT MY P I C

[pulsar pond]

[minor pecan]

Interview is chill asf

[pulsar pond]

I like your shoes but your mascot is horrifying

[pulsar pond]

the thing that I don't like about Harvard

[wise osprey]

Stanford, let me IN!!!!

[bitter path]

It would probably haunt my dreams

[pulsar pond]

yeah perhaps think of it like this

[rancid mural]

40 ppl liked this post, wtf

WHY IS EVERYTHING I DO ON FACEBOOK

[bitter path]

Ur parent?

[rancid mural]

Ye my mom

[wise osprey]

Lol did your parents post that

[pulsar pond]

think of it as you can have an opportunity to share your life with a stranger who are all ears for you

[wise osprey]

Lol I applied to Stanford REA, and my parents told everyone 😂😂😂😂

[pulsar pond]

who won't leak your secrets and is absolutely trustable

[pulsar pond]

my friends were so happy when I told them I got the interview

[bitter path]

Hopefully u get no evil eye

[rancid mural]

My school also posted it on facebook 💀

[wise osprey]

Who interviews students from Vietnam? 🥹

[minor pecan]

move in silence

[bitter path]

Fr cuz imagine u get rejected

[rancid mural]

I am silent, my mom and school arent 💀

[minor pecan]

H REA 🎊:3

[pulsar pond]

I am quite silent

[rancid mural]

this is a2c

[pulsar pond]

I only told a few close friends

[rancid mural]

not real life

[minor pecan]

same story

[pulsar pond]

but my dad told my school principal

[minor pecan]

tomato tomato

[rancid mural]

its a server ABOUT applying to college 😭

[pulsar pond]

and my internship boss

[rancid mural]

wtf is that

[wise osprey]

Lol u guys here probably know more about me than the friends at my school 😂😂😂😂

[opal night]

My mom is sooo superstitious about this

[pulsar pond]

always here for u

[pulsar pond]

lol when I submitted my app

[bitter path]

Nahh i fr believe this

[pulsar pond]

I wore all red

I especially got changed into wearing full red

[opal night]

We were chill

[minor pecan]

I guess you’re out of luck then

[wise osprey]

Everyday that passes by, seems very slow to me 🥹

[minor pecan]

you’ve said too much here

[opal night]

Idk bro she always does this thing called dhisti and it’s supposed to remove the bad luck and bad thoughts

[minor pecan]

Might as well start the community college apps

[opal night]

I don’t think it does lol

[pulsar pond]

superstition is important for me

[opal night]

Speak for yourself bro

[pulsar pond]

I prayed in the direction of Cambridge/Boston

before submitting the app

[opal night]

Dang

[minor pecan]

I want to see your reaction if you get deferred

[pulsar pond]

prolly a bitter smile

[wise osprey]

I prayed too 🥹 imagining myself at Stanford

[rancid mural]

what 😭

[minor pecan]

Intls bro

[opal night]

When I went to the temple I told the cow there my wishes and gave her 4 colleges to choose from to make me get in

[bitter path]

The cow??

[rancid mural]

I just had my harvard flag/poster in my lap when i submitted

[minor pecan]

ill just go to yale if I get kicked out

[pulsar pond]

??????

[minor pecan]

that’s where all Harvard rejects go anyway

[pulsar pond]

I made sure my harvard pin was near me

[wise osprey]

In Hinduism they worship the cow, because they are one of their gods?

[pulsar pond]

??????

bold statement

[minor pecan]

factual statement

[opal night]

Yeah in Hinduism there’s this cow named Nandi and she’s supposed to grant wishes if you whisper in her ear and don’t tell anyone what you wished for

[pulsar pond]

Yale please take me

if I apply

lol

[bitter path]

Ohh is that why guys dont eat beef??

[rancid mural]

Blasphemy against Harvard

[opal night]

Every temple has a statue of her next to one of their shrines for a god

[pulsar pond]

still Harvard is no.1

[wise osprey]

Muslims don't eat Pork too

[opal night]

Cows are holy but some Hindus do

[minor pecan]

You’re getting rejected

[opal night]

I don’t eat beef or pork bc I’m named after Nandi (different name)

[minor pecan]

because of that yale statement

[rancid mural]

Im not religious at all so i just had my flag 💀

[opal night]

Like a variation of her name

[rancid mural]

and also my trans flag cus why not

[pulsar pond]

what is that

[wise osprey]

My phone's wallpaper is literally my dream university's logo

[pulsar pond]

cute piggy wiggies

[rancid mural]

Lumina do u have any hooks n stuff

[pulsar pond]

but I respect u

[bitter path]

Are u like outwardly trans or still in the closet (i mean it respectfully but i dunno how to word it)

[pulsar pond]

my JHU bestie is from Saudi Arabia

[pulsar pond]

prolly none

[rancid mural]

outward

[pulsar pond]

I'm upper middle class (maybe)

not an athlete

[bitter path]

Talk to ur interviewer about ur journey, deffo unique

[pulsar pond]

parents got masters and phDs

[rancid mural]

Oh yeah, my CAPS was abt that 💀

[pulsar pond]

no legacy

not broke

not super rich

daddy did not donate a building

do not have interesting disorders

[minor pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/eyes-gif-21821822

[wise osprey]

My dad had a bachelor, my mum finished highschool 🥹

[pulsar pond]

do not have siblings to take care of

my mom has 2 masters and my dad has 1 phD and 1 masters

[rancid mural]

My harvard app centered around my million hooks and how they've sparked a drive to change the world and aid in equality/quity

[wise osprey]

I'm the oldest brother, having 3 younger siblings...

[pulsar pond]

oh

one might be a hook

my parents are divorced

[rancid mural]

Would they even know that

[pulsar pond]

but that's quite insignificant to my life

[pulsar pond]

yes it is on my common app

on the file they downloaded

[rancid mural]

Unless it affected ur life quite a bit its prob not a hook

[pulsar pond]

it did but not in the way US admissions want

[wise osprey]

It's scary to see they 'downloaded' your file on Common App

[rancid mural]

Aside from legacy and athletes, a hook is a hook because of how it affected u and how you present it

[minor pecan]

Software downlaoded it for them

[rancid mural]

Only abt 300 ppl apply to harvard from alabama each year

and about 13 get in

[wise osprey]

I don't have an AHA moment or a certain event, my insights only materialise as I experience many different events and learning opportunities

[minor pecan]

Ok

[pulsar pond]

maybe about 300 kids apply to Harvard from Hong Kong I guess

idk

[pulsar pond]

same

the only hook I have is my very insignificant school

[rancid mural]

I love my essays

[pulsar pond]

and a very unique thought between how history and medicine are related

at least in my opinion

[minor pecan]

shouldnt you guys be touching grass right now

aren’t you guys in school rn

[pulsar pond]

history is the basis of everything tbh

[minor pecan]

like is it not school hours

[rancid mural]

I only go to school for 2 hours

[wise osprey]

It's 23:28 here is Vietnam

[rancid mural]

But im here rn cus interview

[pulsar pond]

it's 12:28am bro

[minor pecan]

Go to sleep

[pulsar pond]

:PP time to sleep but I will not sleep

[minor pecan]

I heard going to bed early makes harvard like you more

I think it’s just a superstition tho

[wise osprey]

Oh yeh HK's timezone is one hour faster than Vietnam's

[pulsar pond]

yup

[bitter path]

Are YOU not supposed to be in class??

[minor pecan]

No

[pulsar pond]

I'm probably not getting tricked

[rancid mural]

Go to a class

Find a random class

And walk in

[pulsar pond]

but thank you for caring for my physical health

I appreciate it

[wise osprey]

Isn't it like the morning or something in the US now??

[minor pecan]

Lecture is useless

[bitter path]

“Skill issue” 🙄

[wise osprey]

Last year like only 3 students made it to Stanford in Vietnam I think

I don't know how many applications there were here

[pulsar pond]

same with us for Harvard probably

[bitter path]

Lemme go count how many made it to Stanford from the UK

[minor pecan]

Let’s just say

you may hear these words from me

on Dec 15

[wise osprey]

😂😂😂😂

[bitter path]

Around 16 I believe

[pulsar pond]

I literally do not know if there's data for this lol

[rancid mural]

Its 14

[bitter path]

I stalk their LinkedIns

[wise osprey]

Maybe we should film our reactions and share them

[pulsar pond]

for me and @wise osprey it's definitely prolly 15/16

time zone problems

[minor pecan]

😐

[wise osprey]

Can you help me stalk for Stanford 😭😭😭

I can't find it

[wise osprey]

I'm in this chatbox, but I actually applied to Stanford REA

[pulsar pond]

lol oh yeah I forgot abt it

regardless you're one of the REA fam

[wise osprey]

The Stanford group doesn't seem to be really active lol 😂😂

[bitter path]

Ask kace, they are good finding all these data

[wise osprey]

Who's kace

[bitter path]

I litch just saw a post where all the UK admits gathered and counted them

[bitter path]

I-

[pulsar pond]

@rancid mural

[bitter path]

You cannot stop meh 😛

[wise osprey]

Stanford

Uploads the least videos about their admissions process

Out of all the top tier schools I know in the US

They're annoying 🙂

[pulsar pond]

Harvard uploads quite some stuff but they're not very helpful

[minor pecan]

Yeah, if they show off their stuff people won’t apply because they will realize it’s bad

[pulsar pond]

most of it is just

"we want to hear about who you are"

[wise osprey]

Generic I guess

[pulsar pond]

just be yourself

[minor pecan]

lol

[pulsar pond]

sound familiar?

[minor pecan]

be yourself

[wise osprey]

=))))))

Everybody says that

[minor pecan]

be yourself

[pulsar pond]

and it's very hard to do

[wise osprey]

=)))) 650 words ain't enough

[minor pecan]

it’s too many

[wise osprey]

Luckily Stanford gives many supplementary essays though

[wise osprey]

International students just have so much to say about their circumstances =))))

[pulsar pond]

I feel like I've went down the wrong path with my personal statement

and it's not state of the art quality in my pov cuz it was lowkey rushed

[pulsar pond]

my intellectual thoughts instead of my personality was the real focus

[pulsar pond]

it isn't rush in a sense that I kept on working on it for 2 months

[bitter path]

These fuckers literally ticked ‘considered’ everything (only left out those that would get them in trouble) on their common data set

[wise osprey]

My story isn't emotional or anything, but I thought there were interesting insights

[minor pecan]

Additional info

Nobody wants to read allat

[pulsar pond]

should probably write even more lol

[pulsar pond]

same

[wise osprey]

I don't know if they even care about this section

[pulsar pond]

but I definitely tried to showcase my compassion

[rancid mural]

I feel like its the perfect amount

[pulsar pond]

which is important I believe

[rancid mural]

my story was encapsulated well

[minor pecan]

Why am I wasting my time talking to you guys

[rancid mural]

but i also had help so like

[minor pecan]

😐

[pulsar pond]

I made sure my harvard supps was reviewed by better college apps

did help a lot tbh

[wise osprey]

Lol I literally wrote it, self-edit

[rancid mural]

my consultant reviewed everything for me

[wise osprey]

Most of my friends don't know English too well

[pulsar pond]

and you are willingly doing so

[minor pecan]

and i regret it

[pulsar pond]

I've annoyed the people who have the best English skills (my besties) to read my essays over and over again

[minor pecan]

Better college apps

Consultant

[wise osprey]

It's good you realise that. You can still make a change 🙂

[minor pecan]

yeah, it’s a2c

[pulsar pond]

I guess I'm not intellectually stimulating enough

[rancid mural]

i mean yeah

Ppl wanna take advantage of resources theyre given

Thats a normal thing 💀

[bitter path]

Mf got admitted last December and still cant bring himself to leave

[minor pecan]

I’m here for verified channel

[pulsar pond]

my UK targeted bestie from is now a US admissions expert because of just how much me and my other friend applying to UPenn annoyed him for our essays

[bitter path]

Whatever helps u sleep at night

[wise osprey]

Chill, have fun guys, the process is already stressing us out enough =))))

[bitter path]

We all know u here tryna be a mod

[minor pecan]

No

I don’t care about mod anymore

[wise osprey]

It's good to have connections, to help you evaluate your essays

[bitter path]

Where is he applying??

[wise osprey]

I just didn't have them 🥹

[minor pecan]

I had my essay reviewed after applying

[rancid mural]

Yeah im glad i met my consultant

I think i would be an autoreject if i hadnt

[wise osprey]

Good luck guys

[minor pecan]

there was an ex-Stanford ao that I found

through a program

[bitter path]

Literally find ppl from ur area and ask them nicely if they are willing to help u a lil bit

[wise osprey]

I need these connections 🥹

[pulsar pond]

u mean my UK targeted friend?

[rancid mural]

Mines a former penn ao

[bitter path]

Yepp

[pulsar pond]

He wanted to go for LSE PPE

[wise osprey]

Lol nobody in my area applies to Stanford or these top US schools

[minor pecan]

Just google

[pulsar pond]

but he didn't get a 7 for his predicted grade in Math Higher level

[bitter path]

I already see investment banking in his future

[rancid mural]

Hard to find good ones that do pro bono

[wise osprey]

Yeh I used free online resources

[pulsar pond]

so he's shooting for local schools rn

[rancid mural]

Mine was by pure chance 💀

[pulsar pond]

and some lower tier UK schools

[pulsar pond]

he's now going to a major called government and law in local schools

[wise osprey]

I know a friend who got a 45 for iB May 2023 and is now at LSE 🥹

[rancid mural]

Said he believed i deserved to go to any college i wanted and offered to consult me 🙏🏽

[pulsar pond]

my school had two people who went to LSE this year

they're twins

doing economics

[pulsar pond]

that's so nice

[wise osprey]

Luck youuuuuu

[pulsar pond]

that's why my friend did

[wise osprey]

Chat GPT is banned in Vietnam lol 😂😂😂😂😂

[rancid mural]

Terrible idea

Robots are not subjective the way humans are

[pulsar pond]

I feel a bit surreal that better college apps said my supp essays were generally quite good

they said I was "in great shape"

[bitter path]

The life of a povvo 😔

[wise osprey]

I honestly don't know what to hope =)))

[pulsar pond]

same

[rancid mural]

Im alrdy out of ideas and my consultant said to write 10 💀

[pulsar pond]

superstition time

my first instincts when I submitted my harvard app was happy

[rancid mural]

study and research and sleep

[pulsar pond]

and then slightly sad

[rancid mural]

And sometimes play Nintendo switch

[wise osprey]

That's what I wrote for one of my supplementary essays =)))

[pulsar pond]

usually according to past experience the first feelings are usually predictive of the ultimate result

so I have a strong feeling it's a deferral

[rancid mural]

Why were u sad

[wise osprey]

Woop I'm sorry

[pulsar pond]

knowing that everything is done

[rancid mural]

I just felt super confident and happy

[pulsar pond]

and I probably won't get in

[rancid mural]

And excited

[pulsar pond]

that wad my first feeling

[bitter path]

Girl dont manifest the wrong thing

[pulsar pond]

for anything Harvard related

[rancid mural]

I had that feeing for a good hour 💀

[wise osprey]

I'm excited everyday until the day Stanford rejects me lol 😂😂😂😂

Some day in December

[pulsar pond]

every time I think of it the next thing that comes to my brain is

what it there's a miracle

what if I'm the miracle

[rancid mural]

there arent rlly miracles in college apps

[wise osprey]

I'm not a prodigy, but I can be a miracle

[rancid mural]

They would just like ur app and think youre a great fit

[wise osprey]

🥹

[rancid mural]

Academics arent everything in college apps, personality is very important

Which is how "miracles" occur

[pulsar pond]

it's expectation management

[jolly hinge]

That’s why we have a huge wave of rejections every year!

[wise osprey]

My academics aren't top

[rancid mural]

Yeah my consultant said the reason i see 36s/1600s and 4.0s get rejected is because they have terrible and cocky personalities 💀

[wise osprey]

Extracurriculars are impressive to where I come from, but don't think it's any great compared to students in the US

[pulsar pond]

yea exactly

[rancid mural]

One guy had a supp just talking abt how great he was in school

he was rejected

[wise osprey]

Wtf that's weird =))))

[pulsar pond]

yeah that's weird

[wise osprey]

I'll leave it to the letter of rec.

[pulsar pond]

please

my school treated my school app as kind of their no.1 priority

[wise osprey]

I don't know if my school tries to windowdress in their school profiles 🙂 they better be honest

[pulsar pond]

when I realized I might me missing a ref letter I was able to get a teacher to get it done for me on that very day I realized the problem

let's hope they write me good stuff since I've always been known as a try hard at school

[pulsar pond]

I thank my teachers very much for helping my app out

very speedily

[rancid mural]

Whats a windowdress

[pulsar pond]

I mean more like I wrote the letter for my teacher

[wise osprey]

the act or an instance of making something appear deceptively attractive or favorable

[bitter path]

Chloe is ur college the one where u have to walk thru woods to get to class??

[jolly hinge]

Huh

[pulsar pond]

on a side note

[bitter path]

There’s an UC college where u have to walk thru the woods

[pulsar pond]

I have never seen the Harvard channel more active than now

[bitter path]

Lemme see

[minor pecan]

Who cares

[pulsar pond]

I've been here since late September

[minor pecan]

like it really doesn’t matter after a year

or even a month

[wise osprey]

I just joined like 3 days ago =)))))

[pulsar pond]

yes I know

hopefully

[bitter path]

Nvm it’s santa cruz

[pulsar pond]

it will matter until I get accepted to some other school

[minor pecan]

I don’t think last year applicants was this bad

[pulsar pond]

Johns Hopkins I'm coming for you

[wise osprey]

I have USYD as a back up, if I get rejected from Stanford

[pulsar pond]

[minor pecan]

Simpery

Downbadness

[wise osprey]

University of Sydney

[pulsar pond]

[bitter path]

Off to Sydney mate?

[minor pecan]

😐

[pulsar pond]

it is very arrogant

[barren burrow]

idk I feel like everyone simps hard for Harvard

[pulsar pond]

I know

[barren burrow]

even if they don’t show it

[wise osprey]

That's my safety school

[pulsar pond]

it's mostly just me

[wise osprey]

I got a scholarship there alr

[pulsar pond]

hehe

[minor pecan]

I don’t get why

[pulsar pond]

I have a 45/45 IB predicted score for my first term

[bitter path]

Gonna be chilling with them big ass spiders and snakes

[pulsar pond]

so for my local school I should be enough

[barren burrow]

Yeah fs 🥱

[wise osprey]

I simp Stanford and I'm here 🥹

[pulsar pond]

to me it's an Asian dream

[wise osprey]

Maxed out lol 🥹

[pulsar pond]

it's a recognition of my hard work, effort and talent

[minor pecan]

No, it’s not

[pulsar pond]

in the best way possible

[bitter path]

Damn girl

Im here just for the money

[wise osprey]

And for overcoming my own circumstances 🥹

[pulsar pond]

also yea

also because I want to be that bitch who can say
yeah....I went to Harvard

sorry I'm pretentious

sometimes

[pulsar pond]

same

[minor pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/peace-out-im-out-bye-gif-14304356

[pulsar pond]

I want to be that person who transformed from a primary(elementary) school angsty, lovesick kid to straight A student with a straight way into Harvard

I mean in my wildest fantasies

the first half of the sentence is made true

let's hope Harvard makes it true all the way

[wise osprey]

Like I'm a debate mentor, and the oldest child in my house. Going to Stanford would inspire a lot of my students and loved ones also 🥹

[minor pecan]

On my knees begging for harvard to end my pain

[pulsar pond]

yes I know Luck you've seen it many times

[minor pecan]

i think

[pulsar pond]

in short term if they accept me that means I don't have to work on other college apps that much cuz I'm pretty much def gonna go

[minor pecan]

you need to touch grass

[pulsar pond]

I'm prepared for heavier pain

[minor pecan]

ive heard harvard likes people who touch grass

[bitter path]

This guy 💀 this girl was having a motivational moment and u out here ruining it smh

[minor pecan]

because it shows you’re a complete applicant

and can do multiple things

[pulsar pond]

sigh

[minor pecan]

excel at academics while still have touching grass skills

[pulsar pond]

sometimes I think my ambitions ruined me

[wise osprey]

Lol I get what Lumina is saying 🥹

[pulsar pond]

I have no life

[wise osprey]

I have so many people around me, that I can't afford to let them down 🥹

[pulsar pond]

I hate to be ungrateful I'm thankful for my mom for trying to destress me but I always say I have to work

[minor pecan]

I’m a realist

[pulsar pond]

I also want to be like other teenagers and get a boyfriend

[rancid mural]

My instructor is getting me food and toothpaste before my interview 💀

[pulsar pond]

I want to go out and hang out with friends

[minor pecan]

do it

what’s stopping you

[pulsar pond]

but I don't really often do it probably because people just think I'm not so up for going out

[wise osprey]

The interviewer can't smell your toothpaste from a computer screen lmao 😂

[minor pecan]

you already sent your college application in

[bitter path]

If they gave me toothpaste I would be mad, like what u tryna say 🤨

[pulsar pond]

and nobody invites me

[rancid mural]

Well, its cus im gonna eat 😭

[wise osprey]

I have a life

[rancid mural]

its to make sure my teeth are clean after

[pulsar pond]

I still have to work on some more colleges and IB

[wise osprey]

I'm grateful for it

[pulsar pond]

I also kind of have a life

[minor pecan]

college app takes like 1 hr

or 1 day max

[rancid mural]

essays bro

[wise osprey]

IB programme itself is rigourous

[pulsar pond]

I will always salute to the Korean people who are willing to spend their entire day studying

[bitter path]

Girl u gonna struggle in uni if u continue like this, try to find a balance between ur social life and academic life

[pulsar pond]

I can't so that

[bitter path]

It’s healthy

[minor pecan]

Do it in the weekends

[pulsar pond]

not like I completely do not

[rancid mural]

i liked harvards supps

[pulsar pond]

it's just every now and then

not very often

[minor pecan]

the new ones suck

[rancid mural]

I like them

[pulsar pond]

like it's hard to talk about my situation

[minor pecan]

Old was better

[pulsar pond]

I'm friends with literally everybody

[rancid mural]

5 short answers is perfect

[pulsar pond]

but also on the edge of everybody's friend circle

[minor pecan]

Supreme Court diff

[pulsar pond]

close to nobody

[rancid mural]

IM SORRY???

[wise osprey]

The supps are fun to write

[pulsar pond]

and also I've made it very clear I don't want to have a boyfriend

[minor pecan]

ngmi

[pulsar pond]

because 1. the boys in my school suck

[rancid mural]

um

[minor pecan]

but you said you wanted one

[pulsar pond]

in terms of looks and stuff

[rancid mural]

may i ask.... why

[minor pecan]

skill based matching

[pulsar pond]

yes but sigh just people outside of my school

its a culture I mean

not necessarily pedophile in my opinion

[rancid mural]

i talked abt being poor, rural, black, trans, and adopted, WHY WOULD U MENTION LOLIS 😭

[wise osprey]

I wrote about the food in Vietnam in one of my essays =)))))))))

[pulsar pond]

although you will get some bombastic side eyes if you wear Lolita clothes in Hong Kong

but we don't give no shits

[minor pecan]

Bro was fertilized with hooks

Wtf

[pulsar pond]

God bless your life

[rancid mural]

[wise osprey]

[pulsar pond]

[rancid mural]

Like going to a competition or smth 😭

[bitter path]

Well they told me to put as much of my personality

And I did

🧍‍♀️

Now they wanna tussle

[minor pecan]

Honestly cannot say I’m surprised

[opal night]

If we’re talking about sensitive stuff make sure it follows the guidelines and ||censor||

[rancid mural]

we arent talking directly abt it anymore, just abt the essay. not any specifics

[opal night]

Alright

[minor pecan]

let’s just say

if you type up another one of those storms for stanford

[bitter path]

Now i just wanna see my AOs face when they see my bs 💀

[minor pecan]

it’s not looking very hot

[rancid mural]

Bro gotta sneak into the harvard office

but since u dont have an interview im more concerned 😭

[bitter path]

I acc dunno

[rancid mural]

I gotta tell me asap if u get one

[bitter path]

I saw someone call me

I normally dont get calls on my number from unknown numbers

I just watched it ring

[rancid mural]

Call them back then?

Why would u just ignore it if ur waiting on an update 😭

[bitter path]

I tried twice but they didn’t pick so I just gave up

[rancid mural]

Ic

[bitter path]

Should’ve followed it up with a message or an email

[bitter path]

U aint getting me to pick up random calls

[minor pecan]

Are you a guy or girl

[bitter path]

Girl 🧍‍♀️

[minor pecan]

Interesting

[bitter path]

🤨

[rancid mural]

Bouta brush my teeth and head to the office ro practice

[bitter path]

Yhh i spoke about that

But they hating 🤷‍♀️

How we are manipulated by Humbert Humbert throughout the book

[minor pecan]

the only solution is to get accepted

and prove all of us wrong

and then rub it in our faces

should be easy enough

it’s the fake hogwarts after all

[bitter path]

https://tenor.com/view/ok-crying-sad-emotional-sentimental-gif-20646670

Hell naw

I just talked about his manipulation

[minor pecan]

if that’s your personality then ig it fits

I can see it

[bitter path]

Tf

Most of them here didn’t even know Lolita 💀 they thought i was talking about some anime that fetishises underage girls

But tbh i dunno what to think about cuz it had kace and luck kinda shook🧍‍♀️

Oh well

Briefly describe an intellectual experience that was important to you

It was either lolita or crime and punishment, both Russian literature

[jolly lichen]

it's about the same odds as getting in RD

[minor pecan]

I wasn’t shook really

I just didn’t like it

[stable pecan]

Luck not taking the slander

[minor pecan]

Though maybe someone else likes it

[jolly lichen]

I guess it depends how much weight you're putting on "hook" but all else equal it's good, sure

[minor pecan]

Most of the stuff I say is just jokes

but like you should prob consider revising your essay for your other colleges

though it’s up to you

if you think it works and reflects your personality and goals

then it’s good

[bitter path]

Nope, I spoke about how words can be used to manipulate and how this made me wary of what I come across and that I should do my own research before believing whatever

[bitter path]

I even got u serious and shi

Now this is worrying

[rancid mural]

.

14 MINUTES

[limpid herald]

good luck

[stable pecan]

Till what ?

[rancid mural]

Interview

[rancid mural]

Oh oops

Wrong reply

[rancid mural]

Interview

[minor pecan]

Well, whether or not you get in doesn’t affect me whatsoever

so might as well give some advice

[bitter path]

Fr appreciate it

[rancid mural]

It went well

Bro said "about 45 mins" and it lasted exactly 45 muns 😭

[minor pecan]

Rip

[rancid mural]

Glad he asked for my info beforehand

Cus it made it go alot smoother

He just had my resume up and asked questions abt it

and then abt my hs and town

[minor pecan]

Yeah, that doesn’t sound good

[rancid mural]

Luck u gotta stop trolling ppl 💀

[minor pecan]

I don’t troll

[limpid herald]

[rancid mural]

Ya

I asked him like 5

[rancid mural]

literally wtf was that interview

[rancid mural]

i only got to ask him 2 questions tho

he literally cut it at 45 sharp

i'm literally getting rejected

[limpid herald]

damn

my bowdoin one ended at 45 min sharp, my hamilton one went an 1 hr over, my union one went like 10 min over, and my hws one ended at 30 min sharp

[opal night]

He probably had stuff to do

There’s a lot of reasons

[rancid mural]

he gave me a possible period of 3 hours

but restricted the interview to 45 mins 😭

[opal night]

Maybe he had another interview

[rancid mural]

we were flowing pretty well and talking abt interesting things 😭 and then as soon as he finished answering my question he was like "its been 45 minutes, it was nice talking with u, ur very accomplished"

and then it just ended

[bitter path]

What the heck 💀

[rancid mural]

so traumatic 😭😭

i'm literally getting rejected wtf

[bitter path]

Why they in such a rush

Nahh mann dw about it

U got thiss

[rancid mural]

[rancid mural]

Interviewer

[frigid herald]

Why was he A2C person of the year

[rancid mural]

Economics + CS

the unstoppable a2c combo

[frigid herald]

Oh

[rancid mural]

nah 😔

maybe theyre just requiring that all interviewers asks for pronouns

has anyone else gotten something about pronouns in their email

[pulsar pond]

nope my interviewer did not ask for my pronouns

perhaps because I'm international lol

[rancid mural]

@rancid mural r u queer

cus i am and got asked

Maybe its smth to do w that

i think i am- 😳
but that wasnt anywhere in my app

[jolly hinge]

Could’ve been smth they recommended interviewers do

But not required

[rancid mural]

They felt the vibe ig 💀

[rancid mural]

HELP- 💀

no and it was literally so anxiety inducing

there were 2 ppl

one was muted the entire time 😭

TWO?

yeahh idk why

[rancid mural]

mine we had google meet going for video and phone call for audio 💀

[jolly hinge]

Sounds like someone wasn’t supposed to be there

[rancid mural]

no they def were

cus his mic wasnt working

i mean they werent muted the entire time

they responded to one of the questions i asked

but muted for most of the time

[foggy gyro]

Hello

[rancid mural]

only unmuted at the very end

https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/t/two-interviewer-interview/290716

i found this online

idk if this means anything

[jolly hinge]

Wack

I doubt it does mean anything

[rancid mural]

😔

maybe harvard isnt meant for me 💔

[small nacelle]

hey @rancid mural

i just sent you a friend request

i might know

dm

[vague hemlock]

SAME bro wanna exchange lol

[tidal mirage]

do you guys know of any south asian (international) who got a harvard interview yet?

[small nacelle]

@tidal mirage did you not get an interview yet?

[tidal mirage]

unfortunately, no

[thick sphinx]

east asia (US citizen) here, no interview either😭

[static comet]

whereabouts in East asia?

[thick sphinx]

middle of nowhere in south korea

the closest 'city' is an hour's driving distance from my home

[tidal mirage]

wow, are they delaying intl. interviews or we just aren't good enough for them?

[thick sphinx]

nah maybe we're too good so they don't need interviews for us 🤣

[thick sphinx]

let's just be patient lol

[tidal mirage]

sounds plausible 😎

[tidal mirage]

i'm trying to

lol

[reef forge]

if theres no alumni near the area it wont be easy to get an interview

[rancid mural]

thats not true

theres virtual ones

plenty of intls here have gotten theirs

Its just smth that happens, some ppl get interviews later, some never get them

typically the virtual interviewer will be from ur state/country but even if they cant find that they'll give u someone else if they really need more info

[small nacelle]

wait why don't they just do a zoom interview

[opal night]

^ my friend last year got like 4 interviews as an intl

[rancid mural]

Yeah

Alabama is nov 20

Idk abt other places

But all will be before dec 1 i assume

[tidal mirage]

i'm sorry but most intls. whom i've talked to haven't got it yet, so it really makes me wonder - who are these plenty? as in from what countries?
