Harvard University (2023-2024)

[small nacelle]

it was on the lawsuit document

[pulsar pond]

it was posted 2 days ago

[small nacelle]

omg 😭

[pulsar pond]

I'm scrolling reddit

[lofty depot]

atleast from my region, a person got their interview around Nov 28, so I think you've still got time

[rancid mural]

it was??

[lofty depot]

could u share the link??

[small nacelle]

yea

and 80% acceptance if you're an aldc

[lofty depot]

the 130 page one?

[small nacelle]

yep

page 13 i think

is where it is

[pulsar pond]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/182pcbl/harvard_ao_reached_out_to_me/

[small nacelle]

O thank you!

[pulsar pond]

Uh oh idk if this is an interview

Let me scroll further

[minor pecan]

Did you make that post?

Sounds like something you would say

[pulsar pond]

NO

[rancid mural]

where

[pulsar pond]

dude if you read it

it says I'm an international student living in the USA

[small nacelle]

bottom of page 13

[pulsar pond]

brother I don't live in the states?????

[small nacelle]

everyone i know who got an ao interview got accepted

[lofty depot]

its just an email exchange, where does it read interview?

[rancid mural]

im looking i dont see anything about acceptance rates lmao

[pulsar pond]

yeah my bad

[lofty depot]

plus:

AO's don't reach out to someone if their application is complete or contains answers to all questions that may arise in a reader's mind. It doesn't mean in any way that the applicant has a higher chance of getting in as such.

[pulsar pond]

I def saw a post about this somewhere else

or maybe I wad hallucinating idk

[rancid mural]

you guys need to stop the speculation 💀

[small nacelle]

o gosh let me find it

o it's actually page 15

[snow ingot]

college rly isnt that serious

[small nacelle]

https://www.harvard.edu/admissionscase/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2021/06/2019-10-30_dkt_672_findings_of_fact_and_conclusions_of_law.pdf

bottom of page 15

5 Less than 3% of all applicants, but more than 20% of recruited athletes, legacies, applicants on
the dean’s or director’s interest lists, and children of faculty or staff (“ALDCs”) receive a staff
interview. [PX619]. Approximately 52% of all applicants and 79% of ALDC applicants who
receive staff interviews are admitted. [Id.].

[pulsar pond]

ok whatever I give up I can't find it

[snow ingot]

just send apps and pray dont think abt it

[pulsar pond]

sorry for stirring up the storm perhaps I misread shit

[lofty depot]

ok hear me out,
A person who got into Harvard REA from my country got their interview in just 2 weeks, and I haven't yet. This means rejection yeah?

[minor pecan]

Yep, that’s totally what it means

[snow ingot]

unlucky my guy

[rancid mural]

found it, but that might also just be a correlation not causation thing

[lofty depot]

as per my knowledge, an AO interveiw comes up when their is a decision divide in the committee. Its like the deal breaker interview or the opposite.

[rancid mural]

an interview is not gonna be indicative of whether you get in or not idk why yall are stressing so much

[lofty depot]

yeah thanks for always giving me hope

[small nacelle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/lxsmyy/senior_harvard_admissions_officer_wants_to_zoom/

[minor pecan]

You’re getting deferred

[rancid mural]

i cant deal with this chat it's too much im fleeing back to stanford

[minor pecan]

good idea

[lofty depot]

u bet?

[pulsar pond]

😦

[minor pecan]

You have no luck

[small nacelle]

@minor pecan did you get an ao interview

[minor pecan]

No

[rancid mural]

most applicants dont correct?

[minor pecan]

Yeah, most don’t

[lofty depot]

c'mon I've got you

[small nacelle]

very interesting

[vague hemlock]

Seems like a troll ngl

[minor pecan]

My luck only helps me

[pulsar pond]

idk

[rancid mural]

you also realize the ALDC probably inflate the average too

[small nacelle]

of what

[vague hemlock]

what's aldc

[pulsar pond]

whatever it's time to get out of this place and go work

[rancid mural]

if theyre all guaranteed a staff interview

[pulsar pond]

athlete legacy donor

[small nacelle]

athlete, legacy, deans interest list, child of faculty

[pulsar pond]

idk about c

oh crap lol

[vague hemlock]

What's Dean's interest list?

[small nacelle]

someone that is very high profile

daughter of a president for example

or someone they just found at an event that they want to keep an eye on

[lofty depot]

why didn't you say rejection I wonder

[rancid mural]

yall shouldnt stress because that ao interview avg is definitely inflated by aldc

they even say that in the document

[minor pecan]

they defer like 80% of people so it’s more likely

plus maybe you’re cracked and you actually get in

who knows

[pulsar pond]

what even is cracked lol

side effect of college admissions is that I have trouble comprehending English

[small nacelle]

like the acceptance rate?

[rancid mural]

yes

[minor pecan]

a really good applicant

[small nacelle]

what if you're an aldc and get an ao interview then do you think it's a good sign

[rancid mural]

a lot of the ppl who get ao interviews are aldc, who are advantaged in the admissions process

[lofty depot]

ahh finally talking sense

[rancid mural]

idk i dont really think its much of a "sign"

[small nacelle]

interesting

[pulsar pond]

curing cancer isn't cracked enough

ISEF champ isn't cracked enough

owning a million dollar business ain't cracked enough

🫠

[small nacelle]

yea i know a girl who got a 1600 on the SAT in the 8th grade hosted hackathons with like 1k attendees and other stuff and got rejected from harvard

[minor pecan]

sounds like a skill issue

[storm condor]

why do i feel they prefer humanities kids

than stem ones

😭

[pulsar pond]

I'm in the middle

yay

[rancid mural]

essays

[pulsar pond]

I always wanna know what these cracked dudes wrote for their essays

[minor pecan]

your essay is prob the most important part of your application

you can do jack shit and basic ecs

[small nacelle]

o and she was in rsi

[minor pecan]

but if you have good enough stats and write really well

you have a good shot

from my personal experience

[rancid mural]

there are a lot of cracked people who cant write for shit and end up at BC/BU/NEU

[small nacelle]

interesting

[pulsar pond]

I SPENT TWO MONTHS ON MY ESSAYS

[small nacelle]

what was your essay topic?

[minor pecan]

doesn’t mean anything

[pulsar pond]

intersection between medicine and history

[pulsar pond]

ik

[vague hemlock]

because there are less humanities kids than stem ones esp if you're Asian

[vague hemlock]

bro i mean those are great colleges aren't they

[pulsar pond]

just saying I'll be a bit sad if two months of work's going down the drain

[rancid mural]

overruled let's move on

[pulsar pond]

very likely I know but let me rant

[rancid mural]

if it happens it happens

[vague hemlock]

but that's what im banking on to get in ☹️

[pulsar pond]

inevitable

[storm condor]

last year in my country thet accepted 3 girls ea, 2 with full humanities stuff and another with bio, we didnt have tho competition with boys so i guess it was fair

[jolly lichen]

there are also fewer humanities kids in the class itself

[pulsar pond]

quoting my teacher
it's written in the stars

[minor pecan]

Touch grass all of you

[vague hemlock]

it won't, whether you get in or not, the effort you put in will have improved your writing skills and will help you for other colleges + good writing is an excellent skill to have in general

[vague hemlock]

fair enough 🫡

[pulsar pond]

yeah ik

[jolly lichen]

Harvard's graduating class is only like 15% humanities lol

[pulsar pond]

I'm able to recycle a lot of my harvard essays into my UC apps

so I'm happy about that

[minor pecan]

make sure to kiss john harvard’s foot for good luck guys

[storm condor]

good essays = they are specific to you + the tell stuff about you + written in a good way and its not true that good essays = creative story / way of writing

[jolly lichen]

ok

[pulsar pond]

eww

I touched the stone below

not John Harvard's feet cuz I know people pee on it

[minor pecan]

ah damn that’s not good

that’s a myth

[lofty depot]

did u?

[minor pecan]

everyone touches it on the first day of classes

it’s a tradition

i would’ve assumed potential harvard admits would know this

[pulsar pond]

well then it's good that I didn't touch his feet this summer

[minor pecan]

i guess not

[small nacelle]

o did you do harvard ssp?

[pulsar pond]

proves that I know my position

[minor pecan]

i touched it yeah

[pulsar pond]

and I'm not definitely forcing the universe to send me in

[minor pecan]

kiss it next time you come to campus (perhaps in the fall)

👍

[pulsar pond]

I did johns hopkins summer school not harvard

[small nacelle]

ooo

[pulsar pond]

but I went there to tour the campus

[rancid mural]

are the kids at harvard like this

[lofty depot]

i did harvard's twice

[minor pecan]

like what

[small nacelle]

ssp?

[rancid mural]

these people

[minor pecan]

Nope

Not at all

[pulsar pond]

I had to leave Boston early so I get to pray in front of the John Harvard statue in peace

[storm condor]

luck did u fake ur way into harvard

[jolly lichen]

what is Harvard ssp lol

[minor pecan]

Yeah

[pulsar pond]

0 people around

[small nacelle]

secondary school program

[pulsar pond]

I'm guessing summer program

[minor pecan]

The scammy summer school program

[small nacelle]

haha

[jolly lichen]

no luck is a.... special one

[pulsar pond]

I didn't bother applying cuz 4 essays were too much

[minor pecan]

It’s a waste

[pulsar pond]

I love my johns hopkins program

just submit my transcript and donezo

[small nacelle]

wait why is it a waste

[lofty depot]

nah actually not

[rancid mural]

i heard majority of harvard ssp doesn't get in lmao

[pulsar pond]

it's not the center for youth program so it looks like it has lower prestige but I honestly don't understand

[storm condor]

why would u base ur chances off a summer program 🤮

[pulsar pond]

we had to live off caffeine every day to get through the stuff we have to do lol

[rancid mural]

huh

when did i say that

[storm condor]

going at harvard ssp doesnt mean majoriy will get in harvard

[lofty depot]

one I worked as a cimson journalist at the historic Harvard Crimson building for a week and then also their IR program

[storm condor]

.

[pulsar pond]

that's cool

[jolly lichen]

I mean.... I'd be very surprised if a majority did get in? given that'd be like half the Harvard class or something lmao

[lofty depot]

it only expensive and that's it. not even selective for tha matter

[rancid mural]

im not basing admissions chances 😭 wdym bruh

[pulsar pond]

I think you misunderstood @storm condor

[lofty depot]

the only reason i did their undergrad-run stuff was for networking and all

[pulsar pond]

@rancid mural might have meant the majority of people applying to the spp program do not get into the program

[storm condor]

oh

i thought harvard

[pulsar pond]

correct me if I'm wrong

[rancid mural]

nah i mean into the school

[pulsar pond]

now I'm confused

[storm condor]

yeah but like ofc majority of the program doesnt get in

its just a program

😐

[rancid mural]

people think it boosts though

[pulsar pond]

it doesn't concern most people anyway

[rancid mural]

thats why they apply to it

[lofty depot]

it can, depends

[storm condor]

is it prestigous or smth

havent heard of it

[pulsar pond]

yeah I lowkey feel like I'm wrong for paying 50k to go to JHU to earn myself an ECs

[rancid mural]

no

[pulsar pond]

a ref letter

[storm condor]

i only know of sumac, promys and stuff like that

[rancid mural]

its harvards summer school program

[pulsar pond]

and essay idea

[storm condor]

that can ig boost ones chances

[pulsar pond]

rsi stuff like that

but that's because they're very selective

[storm condor]

yeah

[pulsar pond]

my Hopkins program had like 1.8 ppl attending throughout 3 sessions

[lofty depot]

those are like the real programs

[storm condor]

sumac >>>>

best kids ever

[rancid mural]

did u do sumac?

[lofty depot]

1.8?

[storm condor]

yeah

[pulsar pond]

1.8k

or less depending whether I was hallucinating

[rancid mural]

damn nice

[pulsar pond]

maybe less I guess there was no more than 200 kids on campus per session

[rancid mural]

i applied for mites but my application was pretty shit since i was just learning how to write

[pulsar pond]

I've never been to the other campuses so Idk they might be right

[storm condor]

😭

[pulsar pond]

[rancid mural]

was sumac covered for u?

[pulsar pond]

stop my summer holidays were only 1 month long

[storm condor]

aid?

[rancid mural]

yes

[pulsar pond]

I couldn't even apply to those prestigious programs or else I'd have to skip school

[storm condor]

some yes, but they only give if u need its not merit

[lofty depot]

most summer schools offer like no aid for internationals

which is sad

[rancid mural]

yeah im aware

[jolly lichen]

it's fine you're gonna be fine it doesn't matter as much as y'all think it does

[pulsar pond]

Hopkins gave me 400 dollars

🫠

my technically intl

[pulsar pond]

yeah ik

[rancid mural]

^^

[pulsar pond]

I got the most out of my program so I think it's fine

[rancid mural]

like ultimately just doing rsi isnt gonna be the thing that gets u in

if you've gotten in, you probably write really good and have good ecs anyways

[lofty depot]

that's nice even I got like 600 dollars from the crimson thing, which I wasn't expecting but one like Harvard ssp gives nothing

[rancid mural]

so you were probably gonna get into good schools anyways

[storm condor]

im waiting for the moment i see confetti popping in my laptop

[pulsar pond]

that's great tbh

[pulsar pond]

does Harvard do that

[storm condor]

yes

makes it easier to know if u got in

[lofty depot]

yes

[storm condor]

lmaoo

[pulsar pond]

i think it's just CONGRATULATIONS

oh really

alright

[storm condor]

no theres definitely confetti

[pulsar pond]

let's all look forward to that

[rancid mural]

did you do any fly ins

[lofty depot]

honestly the most exciting is the yale bulldog video

[storm condor]

whats that

[pulsar pond]

lollll

[lofty depot]

even confetti would do though

[pulsar pond]

so the moment I see no confetti i'm fucked

gotcha

[storm condor]

yeah i wouldnt have to read the letter lmao

[lofty depot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXLREps3blw

the real vibe

[rancid mural]

programs where the (admissions office usually) fly u out for free to college

[pulsar pond]

i don't know why i suddenly have a bit more hope on my app

:PPP

Harvard just sends me on an emotional rollercoaster for 1.5 months

[reef forge]

the dream

[storm condor]

?? tf is that, no, u mean summer programs?

[rancid mural]

its during the school year

[lofty depot]

ah same harvard too toxic man

[storm condor]

um these dont exist for sumac, promys and stuff like that

im pretty sure

[rancid mural]

they arent

its offered by the school themselves

its not like that

[storm condor]

umm

[pulsar pond]

[storm condor]

weird (?)

why would they fly u in

based on an application for sumac for example

[rancid mural]

they fly strong applicants in they're interested in

[pulsar pond]

ok time to work I need to mute this channel

[reef forge]

you can apply to a flyin and they only select the top

applicants

[pulsar pond]

Harvard gets me too exicted and stressed

[lofty depot]

yeah bye, time for my columbia apps

[pulsar pond]

good night or good morning, where ever you are luvs

☺️

[reef forge]

good luck

they suck

150 words

[minor pecan]

thanks abnon

[jolly lichen]

actually tbh you're kinda generic

[minor pecan]

Fuck you

[jolly lichen]

stressing about first year cs internships

[reef forge]

my son is back

[minor pecan]

😐

[jolly lichen]

get a personality istg

[reef forge]

welcome

[lofty depot]

ikr

whats with these colleges?

[reef forge]

harvard used to have supps on the easier side

now 5 200 word supps

[lofty depot]

one goes like 125 words, one is 200, then one decided to make it 250, and then comes 350 words

[lofty depot]

yeah that was something too

[minor pecan]

Yeah it’s so ass

Old was better

[reef forge]

it sucks but i see what theyre doing

[minor pecan]

It’s the Supreme Court diff

[reef forge]

they want serious applicants only who put time into their work

[minor pecan]

oh

[lofty depot]

yeah like me

[reef forge]

ppl are only gonna apply if they have time/think they can get in

[lofty depot]

if they don't take me in after all that work, I'm gonna have some serious trust issues in life

[rancid mural]

idk bro

ik many people who dont think theyre gonna get in who are applying bc they said "they'll hopefully be the lucky average applicant"

[minor pecan]

that was me

[lofty depot]

as an abolutely average applicant, I can agree

[rancid mural]

It’s always 3rd Thursday of December

So this year it will be December 14

unless they randomly decide to change their pattern

[vague hemlock]

lmao mine was 2 weeks

[vague hemlock]

50k USD??? BRUH AREN'T YOU INTERNATIONAL

i wish i was rich😭

[pulsar pond]

oh no it's 50k Hong Kong dollars

divide by 8 to get usd

[small nacelle]

Oooo i was so confused for a sec 😭

[pulsar pond]

not that pricey tbh

if it's 50k for two weeks I won't apply lol

[vague hemlock]

ahhhhh

inclusive of boarding and shit?

[pulsar pond]

yes

I might have also counted my plane ticket/travelling costs in there

plus whatever I spent during my time on campus

I blew almost 300 dollars on JHU merch lol

[lofty depot]

guys im panicking again

can't even study for my upcoming tests

[stable pecan]

Take a deep breath

[vocal fable]

wait is mrs. luck not actually just luck’s alt

[opal night]

No

[lofty depot]

huh no

[lofty depot]

https://tenor.com/view/whew-spongebob-catching-breath-deep-breath-tired-gif-17449557

[minor pecan]

Unfortunately it’s not

[sick adder]

i deadass spent 2 days on common app and 1 day on supps (ong this time not even joking)

[late zenith]

ill be walking those streets soon

[rancid mural]

real

[pulsar pond]

I'm getting ice cream from that Ben and Jerry truck over there next year

[minor pecan]

that’s Bon Me but sure

[pulsar pond]

what is Bon Me

[late zenith]

it means good

[minor pecan]

https://www.bonmetruck.com

[late zenith]

what did you write for your intellectual experience supplement

[minor pecan]

I forgot

[pulsar pond]

did Luck have to write it

Harvard changed the supps this year no?

[minor pecan]

Yeah

[pulsar pond]

which sentence are you agreeing on

[minor pecan]

That Harvard changed supps

[pulsar pond]

ok

[obtuse pine]

Are any of you domestic and still haven’t gotten interview?

[rancid mural]

only one ik of had a very questionable essay topic

did u have any questionable essay topics

[obtuse pine]

I mean I thought they were all pretty normal

And I don’t know anyone else in my area who applied so I don’t even have anyone to compare to

Like if they got an interview or no

[lofty depot]

my stanford supplements are so slay

I'm loving this

[pulsar pond]

I was very proud of my Harvard supps

was

[pulsar pond]

Ok my school exam results for this term are in

If I drop from 45/45 in IB to 44/45 how much is that gonna hurt for Harvard

assuming I get deferred and I'm forced to submit a mid-year report

[lofty depot]

if you or did you?

the happiest thing in my life atm is that I'm done with my mid terms huh

[pulsar pond]

it's a will

[lofty depot]

btw if I score too bad in my final term, can they redeem my admission offer?

[lofty depot]

I don't thing so

a small drop in grades is generally ignored

[pulsar pond]

that's great to know :PP

[lofty depot]

please tell

else I have zero motivation to study now

[pulsar pond]

yes it is possible

go work

[rancid mural]

no idea how IB works for the general consensus is dont have a significant drop in multiple classes

[pulsar pond]

alright then I should be fine cuz I only dropped 1 grading for math

[bitter path]

They reached out for more info? That’s nice cuz I saw a girl last yr (here on a2c discord) get moved to the rd pool cuz they didn’t receive her info on time

I dont think she got contacted prior to that cuz she was eagerly waiting for a decision on dec 15/16

[lofty depot]

oh ya saw that too

ik of a guy from my country who got an alumni interview then an AO interview, and was finally accepted

it was RD pool tho

I really do think since there's more time for decisions in the RD cycle, maybe more interviews are given

[pulsar pond]

I see

[rancid mural]

an AO wont reach out unless ur being seriously considered

so her deferral was inevitable

[jolly lichen]

you're gonna be fine I doubt this registers at all

[pulsar pond]

great

[jolly lichen]

this isn't an AO interview, it's just asking for info

[jolly lichen]

you don't have to be that far along, I had an AO reach out like a week after the application deadline

this was after first read

[late zenith]

u have perfect ib? sheeesh

[pulsar pond]

it's just a predicted grade

probably gonna end up 43 in the end

[late zenith]

decent

nonetheless

[pulsar pond]

well I guess it's a standard for Harvard

wouldn't help me get a 1 on academics

[wise osprey]

It's fine. I have significantly lower grades for A Levels

I have A A A A

[wise osprey]

I know a Youtuber who got 45/45 for the iB and getting up being waitlisted from Harvard.

[pulsar pond]

depends on what the guy's ECs are

or was his essays boring

but this gives me a bit hope

at least my academic abilities is not 0

[pulsar pond]

at least it looks like I won't be rejected

[lofty depot]

maybe your SAT can compensate too?

[pulsar pond]

my sat is shit

def won't help

just got a 1490

[lofty depot]

you did submit though?

What are the chances of my rejection is I send this through to Harvard?

Dear Harvard,
I have not yet received your interview offer. In order to be considered as a prospective college, I request you to kindly send an email regarding the same as soon as possible.

Yours truly,
International REA Applicant

[rancid mural]

0%

[plush loom]

LOL

[lofty depot]

I have a feeling I'll get my Harvard interview tomorrow

[minor pecan]

[lofty depot]

[rancid mural]

luck reinforces my delusions

a2c in general does 💀

[minor pecan]

I just want to hurt your feelings in general

(Jkjk)

[lofty depot]

It was 12/12 in 2019

[jolly hinge]

That’s a bit late this year

[minor pecan]

Technically it’s not the 3rd Thursday of dec

[rancid mural]

Wdym

[jolly hinge]

[rancid mural]

[minor pecan]

I don’t have that much money

I’m broke

[pulsar pond]

I recorded one when I submitted the app

[minor pecan]

lmao

Might as well see it out to the end then

[jolly lichen]

I can't decide if y'all stressing over not getting interviews makes me want to interview to relieve some ppls stress or want to run away and never look back

[minor pecan]

Run away

[lofty depot]

then let @plush loom send me $10 too

[lofty depot]

me too

[minor pecan]

What country are you from @lofty depot

[rancid mural]

im gonna facetime my hopkins bestie and record that

But im not gonna post it

[lofty depot]

I submitted mine at 11:16:54 AM

[lofty depot]

huh what makes u ask this question Mr. Luck?

[plush loom]

no im pooor

[rancid mural]

why did u record when u submitted 💀

[pulsar pond]

just so it would come a full circle

[rancid mural]

after submitting i sat there for a good 5 minutes replaying the confetti

[plush loom]

u should be an interviewer it seems fun asf

[rancid mural]

the confetti is fun

[lofty depot]

huh me too

[minor pecan]

I swear it’s just ppl jumping

[pulsar pond]

embedded video?

[rancid mural]

i expect to see confetti

[minor pecan]

Yeah

[lofty depot]

don't ask him stuff not reliable at all

[rancid mural]

on December 14

[pulsar pond]

alright so if I don't see anything moving

I'm fucked

[rancid mural]

Luck has always been reliable for me because i can tell when hes trolling 💀

[plush loom]

make them cry

[minor pecan]

That’s what I’m gonna do

In a few years

[pulsar pond]

I think we activated @minor pecan 's darkside

[plush loom]

me too

im gonna ask them ib technicals

[rancid mural]

should've interviewed me frfr

[plush loom]

make them walk me through a dcf

[lofty depot]

he is dark*

[rancid mural]

Pardon

[pulsar pond]

I still remember coming in Luck was the one who gave me advice on should I submit sat or no

[rancid mural]

whats ur sat

[pulsar pond]

look at what we have today:PPP

[pulsar pond]

.....1490

[minor pecan]

I know a domestic girl who submitted a 1490

She got rejected

@pulsar pond

[pulsar pond]

whatever

too late to back out

you can't break me

also I'm intl

[minor pecan]

That’s worse

[pulsar pond]

let's hope they understand why I took such risks

[lofty depot]

trolling mode is back

[rancid mural]

luck just bullies yall dont he 😭

[minor pecan]

Nah this time it’s real

@plush loom can confirm

The alphabet girl

[lofty depot]

ah smart one! Harvard deserves u

[rancid mural]

real

Me and all my diversity

[pulsar pond]

if Harvard rejects me

it's Harvard's problem

[rancid mural]

which would 100% be why im accepted

[pulsar pond]

it's their loss

[plush loom]

LOL

[lofty depot]

if Harvard rejects me, I'll marry a Harvard kid as simple as that

[plush loom]

can confirm

[bitter path]

Aren’t u the one who goes to a private international school?? Or do u just go to a normal school in HK

[pulsar pond]

I go to a normal school

local cheap ass shit school that only has 5 years of experience in IB

[rancid mural]

i dont like when ppl say theyre a diversity pick, but in my case, i am the most diverse person ever 💀

[pulsar pond]

in terms of diversity lets say I could have some advantage

Harvard almost only accepts Hong Kong students from the same damn school every time

time to switch things up:P

[rancid mural]

the way i see it is, doesnt matter why i got accepted, a win is a win

[vague hemlock]

before submitting i stressed for like an hour lmao so after submitting i just felt sadness and regret and fear and worry and-

[pulsar pond]

after I submit I was just happy

[rancid mural]

i felt happiness

[lofty depot]

another relatable one

[rancid mural]

pure joy

[vague hemlock]

lol must be nice

[rancid mural]

and excitement

[pulsar pond]

happy-->sad-->"believe in miracles"

[rancid mural]

for what the future holds

[minor pecan]

so I can come over

[lofty depot]

I literally looked at my submitted applications 10 times again

[minor pecan]

and watch you get rejected

[plush loom]

pause

[pulsar pond]

I looked at mine 5 times and I still clicked a wrong button

whatever

Harvard's probably gonna reject me anyway

[vague hemlock]

oh i thought that was gonna go in a more sexual direction

[pulsar pond]

I won't be surprised if the moment they saw what school I was from they just dumped me into the reject pile

[rancid mural]

disney songs are motivating u should try them

[lofty depot]

rizz mode activated

[lofty depot]

rizz mode deactivated

[rancid mural]

moana and rapunzel especially

[bitter path]

Same 💀

[pulsar pond]

not the time for motivating stuff

[lofty depot]

you're ready to fly countries for me damn?

[pulsar pond]

I just want to cry with my sad ballad shit

I don't know why I feel so bitter these days

seeing my friend get rejected from Cambridge

[lofty depot]

relatability to its extreme

[bitter path]

He’ll fly to sneaky links

[pulsar pond]

and even if I'm getting 1st in Chinese, English and Economics in my class it doesn't make me happy

honestly

Harvard wrecked me to a point nothing will ever make me as joyous as good news from Harvard

I guess that's going to be fixed when I get into uni, whatever uni

that said

[bitter path]

Do u not have any backups??

[pulsar pond]

I cannot be more grateful for what my ambitions to go to Harvard took me to

[minor pecan]

yeah, Emre lent me his private jet

[pulsar pond]

CUHK

Chinese University of Hong Kong

that's the only certain backup I have rn

[bitter path]

U not applying to other US unis??

[pulsar pond]

in order to save application fees I'm not applying to other US unis yet

[lofty depot]

the name is reallyyy something

[pulsar pond]

probably going to pick something like Baylor as a backup

[bitter path]

Mrs luck, on a fr note where u from??

[rancid mural]

🤨

[pulsar pond]

wdym

pls guys it's just a name

they basically don't teach anything in Chinese other than linguistics/chinese history related stuff

[rancid mural]

Its just odd

idk anything abt asia

[lofty depot]

oh if I get in then take me to Harvard with you ok

[pulsar pond]

I would also like to know why did they make this name

this is not reflected in english but I can clarify

[minor pecan]

Sure

[pulsar pond]

in Chinese characters, it means (Chinese language) university

[rancid mural]

luck if i get in u should show me around

[pulsar pond]

and it's different from Chinese, the race of people or Chinese referencing the country

[minor pecan]

No

jk maybe

[rancid mural]

[lofty depot]

nah I just liked the name lol

[pulsar pond]

alright lol

I just feel a bit empty that my journey with Harvard is nearing its end

[lofty depot]

weren't you going to show me around?

[plush loom]

anything for my son

[lofty depot]

sameee, I spent 4 years on this stuff and now I can do anything but wait

[pulsar pond]

yeah same

[minor pecan]

that’s if you get in

[umbral garden]

what's the REA notification date?

[pulsar pond]

tbh even if you don't get in you can walk around Harvard

[dusky schooner]

don’t REA harvard if u aren’t as cracked as luck is

[pulsar pond]

and you can find Luck if you somehow manage to discover what his irl identity is

[pulsar pond]

14-16 Dec likely

[plush loom]

just dont apply to harvard tbh

[pulsar pond]

too late

[dusky schooner]

good luck MFs

[plush loom]

[plush loom]

[plush loom]

your expectations are too high 😭

[jolly lichen]

no luck just sucks!

[umbral garden]

the only reason i'd be interested in harvard or american unis altogether is the theatre programmes 💀

[jolly lichen]

they should get better

[umbral garden]

oxford

[dusky schooner]

this sounds about right yesb

[jolly lichen]

no you're not

[jolly hinge]

I hate to say it but you should be interested in USC then

[plush loom]

all i feel is power

[bitter path]

[jolly hinge]

Oh nice!

[dusky schooner]

[minor pecan]

[junior lotus]

i think i might pull up to harvard later next year around the summer

[dusky schooner]

no one calls oxford oxy WHAT

[umbral garden]

did u just call me a neek 😭

[minor pecan]

That’s what I’m saying

[vague hemlock]

well this thread going wild

[plush loom]

come to penn

[dusky schooner]

Yeah because you just called oxford oxy wtaf

[umbral garden]

we do at my school mate

[bitter path]

We just call it ox, that’s it

[dusky schooner]

mf oxy is a drug

[junior lotus]

our college has sent delegations for hmun before and im on the current roster

[pulsar pond]

wait until we surpass Harvard of the west to have the most number of messages

[plush loom]

wait guys switch to the penn thread so penn thread stays #1

[junior lotus]

how far is it

[vague hemlock]

call it ford

[umbral garden]

thats why its funny asl

[dusky schooner]

you lot are fucking nerds

[plush loom]

like 5 hour drive from harvard

maybe 6

[jolly hinge]

This thread is thousands off from Penn

[vague hemlock]

hmun HAHA Hyderabad Harvard mun 🤓

[plush loom]

oh okay nvm then

[dusky schooner]

dude no one’s driving to shithole philly

[junior lotus]

do yall not have trains or someshit lma

[umbral garden]

priv school 🤓

[minor pecan]

State school advantage

[dusky schooner]

wait emre

do u know

[vague hemlock]

OMG THERE ARE TWO ABHIS???

[dusky schooner]

ok my friends ex goes to wharton

[plush loom]

where is usc again 😑

[junior lotus]

no im talking about the actual hmun held at harvard

[jolly hinge]

We’re at 9.3k in here Penn is at 17.3k

[lofty depot]

huh avg rejected student words (could be mine soon)

[plush loom]

whats her @

[junior lotus]

my college has sent delegations to harvard and nus before apparently

[dusky schooner]

uh come dms

[junior lotus]

even im surprised

[plush loom]

coming!!!

[pulsar pond]

I wonder what the other harvard students are thinking looking at this circus here

I see people online other than @minor pecan

[vague hemlock]

sure you are /s
my friend from blore had a hmun award and we all thought it was actual Harvard but it turned out to be Hyderabad pls😭

[jolly lichen]

no just for you

I bet if I mocked you I'd fail you 😌

[jolly hinge]

I wonder if there’s a correlation between active threads and getting in

Like last year UChicago thread was super active and now we have a bunch of UChicago students

[lofty depot]

there indeed is!

[vague hemlock]

more active = more procrastination = more rejects

[jolly lichen]

yeah the more active the lower your odds because the more likely they can smell the sweat

[lofty depot]

nooo

[junior lotus]

lmfao bro we literally have pictures of our seniors in front of harvard

[vague hemlock]

or sometimes sometimes more active = more questions/current students answering questions = better applications = more accepts

[jolly hinge]

Ok but my guardian hit rate was sooooo good at least half the ones I chose got into an ivy for early decision

[lofty depot]

yeaaaaah

[minor pecan]

@pulsar pond

[vague hemlock]

but mostly it just means the more active a thread is, the more applicants so it seems like there are more accepts when it's prolly the same percent

[vague hemlock]

THAT'S WHY GUARDIANS ARE CHOSEN??? BRO IS THAT WHY I DIDN'T GET CHOSEN UGH WHAT

[jolly hinge]

I chose them before they got in

[vague hemlock]

damn

[lofty depot]

you're also smart! Harvard deserves u

[plush loom]

why didnt i get guardian 😑

[jolly hinge]

You didn’t apply

[vague hemlock]

YEAH BUT YOU HAD FAITH IN OTHERS

[plush loom]

[junior lotus]

yeah apparently my college is tthe best in india for MUNs

[vague hemlock]

i didn't apply to Harvard lol but thanks

[vague hemlock]
