[minor pecan]

Nah

[storm condor]

it doesnt take internationals early, (i really dont know anyone lol) or at least from here, like even ioi golds can get deferred 😭

i feel like i have more chances at harvard

based on the fact that they take at least 2 people from my country early each year

[minor pecan]

Greece?

[storm condor]

yeah

[minor pecan]

Hm

Interesting

[storm condor]

wait which country u from if i may ask

europe?

[minor pecan]

nah you’re in

[rancid mural]

Its so hard to tell when ur trolling 💀

[storm condor]

i reviewd my whole application shit and i think it could use a lot improvment tbh, i think my essays are good idk but awards and ec's can save my ass i just found out i wrote in the activities.... I am a doing.... like bruh i hope they wont notice

[rancid mural]

[rancid mural]

[rancid mural]

Im sure its fine

[minor pecan]

that’s tough

[rancid mural]

Just a bad move for space

[storm condor]

[rancid mural]

and to be more descriptive

its not a make or break

[minor pecan]

[rancid mural]

march 28 is ivy day

[minor pecan]

like just don’t think about the decision

not like it will change if you cry or dream about it

[rancid mural]

[storm condor]

[storm condor]

[minor pecan]

No, they’re useless

[storm condor]

....

[rancid mural]

[minor pecan]

[rancid mural]

My ass is grass

[minor pecan]

Huh

[umbral garden]

i can't wait 2 more weeks man 💀

[strange wedge]

WTF IS A BULLDOGGGGG

how’s my form

[strange wedge]

Ur an opp

[tepid sphinx]

@minor pecan respond to DM I need clarity

[storm condor]

what

[lofty depot]

ah same

but the no interview = rejection theory is making me stressed now

[rancid mural]

not necessarily a rejection

you could just be deferred then interviewed in RD

but it is true that not many get in without an interview

[tepid sphinx]

Whether you get an interview is strictly a matter of regional alumni/AO availability.

[lofty depot]

I asked a rea admit from my country and he basically said that interviews went on till like 2 days before decision release here

so hoping for the best

[lofty depot]

i really hope that's the case for internationals too

[tepid sphinx]

Knowable facts.

[lofty depot]

it says in the end 'not adversely affect' does that mean it will affect to some degree

[tepid sphinx]

No. You will not be negatively affected at all.

It will not count against you.

[lofty depot]

I don't know atp while the website says so ppl here/reddit/admits from my country say that interview is imp for acceptance

[lofty depot]

i really really hope that's the case 😭

[tepid sphinx]

Interviews can be a helpful part of your application if you do exceptionally well. For most people, that is not the case.

Unless you were to bomb an interview, it would not break your application. Therefore, not getting one to begin with, especially if based on alumni availability, does not adversely affect you.

[tepid sphinx]

And by most people, I also mean many of the students actually admitted to Harvard College.

[rancid mural]

would u say the non-interview acceptances are international

since they tend to get them late or never

[lofty depot]

hmm i understand

[tepid sphinx]

It’s not something that has been quantified. I couldn’t tell you at what rate international students without an interview are admitted. I am just going by what Harvard College posts as public information.

[rancid mural]

i dont see why they wouldn't just give intls a virtual interview like they do for donestic rural kids

my guy lived an hour away from me 10 years ago

[tepid sphinx]

The issue is still of availability. They need a person to conduct the interview.

In the case of international student interviews, it is probably important they try to have an alumni from your area conduct it. That’s sometimes how it is done with AOs who conduct interviews. Of course, alumni live all over the globe but are more thinly stretched in some parts.

[lofty depot]

idk if I'll get an interview but if I do, I'm gonna freak out and announce it here as though it's an acceptance to harvard (ofc which it isn't) So please bear with me for that!

[tepid sphinx]

I hope you get one! Good luck

[lofty depot]

thanks for the guidance! means a lot 🙂

[tepid sphinx]

Of course 🙂

[storm condor]

dumb question but

i have double space

between paragraphs

in my essays

its fine right?

i mean the AO will not be irritated or smth

[lofty depot]

nah they won't

that is a formatting problem w common app

a lot of essays go w double spaces

try to avoid that in ur other apps though

[umbral garden]

what's rejection theory?

[lofty depot]

@minor pecan can explain

[umbral garden]

alright thanks mate

whenever u have the chance 🙏

[rancid mural]

shes just saying that if you get no interview you get automatically rejected as an intl which is simply not true

its based off no facts

[rancid mural]

Yeah im p sure harvard was sued for that before so it ended

It was like years ago, hasnt been a thing recently

[lofty depot]

its not me saying that but some ppl on this server

[lofty depot]

if that's the case

I AM HAPPY

[small nacelle]

@lofty depot you've got this Mrs. Luck!!!

[lofty depot]

[minor pecan]

she’s just yapping

it means nothing

all lies

don’t trust

[rancid mural]

Luck switching sides 💀

[lofty depot]

excuse me?????

[umbral garden]

ohhh alright

[umbral garden]

what school do you go to? i see you have the college freshman tag

let me guess

?

[lofty depot]

nah wrong

[umbral garden]

oh so is he just here for the vibes?

[minor pecan]

just want to see people get deferred and rejected

[lofty depot]

indeed

[umbral garden]

ohhh alright

where do you go if i may ask?

[lofty depot]

explain Mr. @minor pecan

[minor pecan]

mit!

[rancid mural]

Luck goes to ball state

[umbral garden]

neat!

congrats

[minor pecan]

They need to interview internationals to make sure they’re not weirodes like you

[rancid mural]

u wish

[minor pecan]

That’s what i meant

[umbral garden]

where's that?

do you participate in the dual enrolment with harvard?

[minor pecan]

Would u really admit someone from across the world without talking to them first?

and seeing their personality and what they’re like

what if they don’t even know english and just faked their scores or some shit

[rancid mural]

in america they can just background check u cant they

[minor pecan]

you need to check that

[rancid mural]

cus they have ur SSN

[umbral garden]

?

[lofty depot]

that very racist of u

[umbral garden]

i'm sure nobody would fake knowing english if they wanted to go to school in the states no?

[minor pecan]

Thanks

[rich wren]

yo is harvard fun

[minor pecan]

But im just giving my opinion

[umbral garden]

???

that sounds a bit dicey mate 💀

[minor pecan]

can’t really trust a lot of intl schools lol

way diff grading scheme

grade inflation

I’ve heard of stories where they just blatantly lie

so their students can get into top schools

[umbral garden]

from my experience most intl schools are quite competitive

i did a foreign exchange in Singapore my second year and it was so difficult 😭

[rancid mural]

gotta submit my #1 target/safety today

harvard backup 🙏🏽

[rich wren]

is harvard good for government?? deciding on whether i should apply there.

[rancid mural]

if harvard dont want me, urochester does

[minor pecan]

Nope it sucks

gov isn’t one of the most popular majors here

don’t apply

[rich wren]

wait is this serious

[umbral garden]

i heard princeton was, but i'm not sure

[rich wren]

ik its good but i was wondering how the resources are.

[rancid mural]

michelle you'll learn quickly that luck trolls 70% of the time

[umbral garden]

if they'd like to they should 😭

[rich wren]

ik

[minor pecan]

We didn’t create the most presidents

don’t apply!

[rich wren]

bruh i dont know

[umbral garden]

oh this makes sm more sense 💀

my b

so you don't go to mit then?

[minor pecan]

nah but im not a fox major

gov

[rich wren]

ok ok 😭 still not applying!!!!!!!!!!!

[minor pecan]

but harvard is pretty good at gov i think

[minor pecan]

No

[umbral garden]

i went to their model united nations conference last year and quite liked it

they were very professional

[umbral garden]

oh

[rich wren]

yah apparently princeton is p great too the vibes just suck there

[umbral garden]

is that so? i applied 💀

i don't know much as an intl student abt the social settings at schools outside of activities and academics

[stable pecan]

I would say that you should look at the school reddits, but the saddest people seem to congregrate there and it's a biased lean

[umbral garden]

i like to stay away from reddit generally, i usually only lurk on the A2C reddit after some mates recommended it to me

[lofty depot]

that's the best approach in life!!

[umbral garden]

idk if ur being serious but ty 😭

[stable pecan]

honestly i cant take this seriously cuz we're on the discord of the reddit 😂

[rich wren]

lol

[lofty depot]

one is better than two

look at me

[stable pecan]

ok real

[rich wren]

bruh reddit is a misery fest im not on their anymore

[lofty depot]

a double addict

[rich wren]

💀

[minor pecan]

A2c Reddit suck:

[stable pecan]

it is. like sometimes the disc becomes a misery fest but reddit is just big sad infestation

[rich wren]

agree

[umbral garden]

i seriously don't think i have a chance but it's my first decision so i'm quite nervous 😭

sometimes i be feeling like such an average lad compared to a lot of the other applicants, especially after going on the reddit

[lofty depot]

no one thinks they have a chance*

[minor pecan]

im avg

got in

[lofty depot]

except luck, he knew already he'd get in

he can predict the same for u

or atleast that's what he claims

[rancid mural]

luck whats ur major

[lofty depot]

bro Im like one of the top 0.2% listeners of taylor swift! Big acheivement right? Should I send Harvard an update or what?

[minor pecan]

some combination of cs, math, and stats

[rancid mural]

u submitted sat right?

[minor pecan]

Yeah

[rancid mural]

what was ur math?

im thinking of submitting

[minor pecan]

800

1540 overall

[rancid mural]

nevermind 😭

[minor pecan]

i think like ~75% of those admitted submitted scores

[rancid mural]

i have a ####

[minor pecan]

o

yeah don’t send that shit

[lofty depot]

I got a 200 so I sent it! My score was a first time in history u see

[minor pecan]

what’s your intended concentration

[rancid mural]

bme

[minor pecan]

hmmge

[hearty torrent]

The MIT megathread looks calmer, possibly because it is easier to estimate the probability of being admitted to MIT.

[minor pecan]

i wouldn’t submit

[rancid mural]

yeah i wasnt going to

[minor pecan]

ok

[rancid mural]

im probably gonna have to submit to yale

[minor pecan]

Why

[rancid mural]

they said they look more at their pre test optional average

which im in the middle of

and that they think its sus if u dont submit in demographics like mine

[minor pecan]

are you asian

wdym by demographics

[rancid mural]

i mean like where i live

and the school i go to

[minor pecan]

would your score help or hurt given these demographics

[rancid mural]

hurt, we have at least 10 1500s+

[minor pecan]

o

[rancid mural]

300 above average but still

[minor pecan]

what grade

in hs?

[rancid mural]

elem

[minor pecan]

oh

[rancid mural]

yeah

[minor pecan]

eh

[rancid mural]

plus i didnt rlly indicate it anywhere

[minor pecan]

sat doesn’t test elementary school shit anyways tho

[rancid mural]

yeah ^

so its sus

[minor pecan]

i think you could probably mention it but it’s def sus as fuck

and idk if it would even matter

[rancid mural]

i could try again

[minor pecan]

you didn’t rea right?

you have dec sat left

[plush loom]

[minor pecan]

deadline prob passed to register for dec lol

unless you want to pay extra

idt it would be worth atp

unless you can pull a 1500+

wait nvm you can’t even register lol

the test is literally this saturday

[rancid mural]

nvm

its chill

[lofty depot]

I got an interview from harvard!

[minor pecan]

Cap

[rich wren]

LOL

BRUH

[rich wren]

should i submit a ##

on a real note

[lofty depot]

wait I missed the second part of the sentence: That's what I dreamt last night 🙂

[minor pecan]

probably not

[plush loom]

no

[minor pecan]

25th percentile is 34

[rich wren]

idk my counselor said it was the highest score at my hs and she said the avg at our hs is 19

*one of the highest

[minor pecan]

still below harvard 25th percentile but up to you

[plush loom]

i prolly wouldnt tbh

[rich wren]

ok

[plush loom]

r u hooked

[rich wren]

ig i wont i was just proud of it

[minor pecan]

are you aisan

or fgli

[rich wren]

yeah im black and from a rural area thats why i was asking. also fgli

[minor pecan]

oh send it then

[plush loom]

i would just go t/o then i think

[rich wren]

wat

wdym

[minor pecan]

i think

it’s like border

and it likely wouldn’t matter

if you submitted it or not

[plush loom]

i think its easier to make a t/o case in that situation than a lower score case

[minor pecan]

what’s your major

[rich wren]

government there

[minor pecan]

going to prob help more

[rich wren]

maybe sociology

[minor pecan]

than submitting it

given your demographics

at least it wouldn’t really hurt you by not submitting

given demographics

[rich wren]

oh ok!!

[rancid mural]

ngl i have no hooks besides legacy at stanford

[rich wren]

you're literally native american

[rancid mural]

not a hook

[rich wren]

hmmm

????

[rich wren]

why not

[rich wren]

im probs not gonna submit my act score

[rancid mural]

race isnt considered

also we gotta diverge off this topic btw

[rich wren]

then why should i submit this score???

[rich wren]

yeah i agree

[rancid mural]

rural demographics

not race related

just the context of ur school

and area

[lofty depot]

do we have a female harvard student on this server?

[minor pecan]

yeah

[lofty depot]

who?

[minor pecan]

samantha

[lofty depot]

she doesn't reply

[minor pecan]

skill issue

do you have a question that can’t be answered by a male lol

[rancid mural]

you must of scared her off with your name

[minor pecan]

nah she just doesn’t use discord much idt

she’s actually locked in unlike me

[lofty depot]

nah probably cause she studying unlike him

[lofty depot]

yes

[minor pecan]

you could prob just ask it if you’re comfortable or google it online

or go on reddit

[rancid mural]

people here dont have google

[lofty depot]

the question is indeed basic but the respondent needs to be serious and smart which I don't see here

[lofty depot]

last thing I would do atp

[minor pecan]

bruh

[rancid mural]

ask chatgpt /s

[rich wren]

i ask v valid questions

[lofty depot]

already asked him/her/they/zhe

[minor pecan]

u can prob just google it if it really is basic

[lofty depot]

now I need a human being too

[minor pecan]

if it’s a legit question ill try to answer it u can dm

but up to you

[lofty depot]

wouldn

wouldn't be here if it was

[rancid mural]

"maybe see if you get in first before worrying about other [problems]" - caly

[rich wren]

;0

[lofty depot]

hmm let me think

[lofty depot]

I see u do care a lot about me, stop denying now hehe

ok I'll dm the question wait

don't dare spill it out

has to be top secret

[minor pecan]

it’s gonna be some dumb shit isn’t it

[lofty depot]

um just wait

[minor pecan]

Ok

[umbral garden]

oh really?

is that genuine or another bit

a lot of people at my school have gotten in based on donations/legacy over merit but it’s just a rumour

[minor pecan]

yeah, i would say i'm pretty average for this server

[jolly hinge]

Stop being weird

Holy shit

The reason this thread has so many joins yet so few speakers is probably because of people like you being so creepy

[umbral garden]

that’s interesting, i think so as well for sure

did you apply early or regular?

[minor pecan]

early

[umbral garden]

did ur parents go there or something or do you have outliers in your file

[minor pecan]

they didn't go to college

my sibling goes here tho but sibling legacy doesn't play much of a role idt

thats really one of the main reasons i even earlied lol

[umbral garden]

neat

my siblings are younger than me so i'm fucked in that department 😭

[minor pecan]

just get good and start the chain

[rancid mural]

Do u two hang out

or actively avoid each other

[minor pecan]

hang out sometimes

[umbral garden]

i don't quite care where i go as long as i'm happy and can get to be creative tbh

[minor pecan]

im being used as her amazon prime ordering machine 😵‍💫

[minor pecan]

sounds like copium

[umbral garden]

isn't prime student cheap?

[umbral garden]

what's that

[rancid mural]

luck did u choose harvard over yale cus ur sister went there

[hard gyro]

good day

[minor pecan]

nah

[umbral garden]

so he DOES go to harvard?

[minor pecan]

yale bad stem

plus no abnon at yale

[umbral garden]

i'm proper lost now

[minor pecan]

abnon is the goat of harvard, a big brain person

he convinced me to not even consider yale a school

[umbral garden]

so you do attend uni at harvard after all, not MIT?

[minor pecan]

yeah

[umbral garden]

oh 😭

[rancid mural]

yes, we said he was trolling 💀

thats how luck is

[umbral garden]

i'm sorry i'm a bit slow w this 💀

i understand now

[rancid mural]

crazy statement

[umbral garden]

ik a nice girlie that goes to yale

[minor pecan]

yale is literally discount harvard

[rancid mural]

so real

unless harvard defers and yale accepts

[minor pecan]

so u got into your safety

[umbral garden]

the rivalry is crazy 😭😭😭

i like both, but i think i'm more partial to harvard

[rancid mural]

what

[umbral garden]

i only applied to 6 schools in the states

[minor pecan]

yale is a safety let's be honest

[rancid mural]

harvard's my safety frfr

[umbral garden]

if i get into the royal conservatoire but not harvard i'll likely go there

[rancid mural]

Yale is a CC

[umbral garden]

i don't think my mum cares about any other schools but oxford and harvard and yale tbh

[umbral garden]

community college?

[rancid mural]

why let ur mom decide

[rancid mural]

yes

[umbral garden]

she's a chaebol tiger mum 😭

[rancid mural]

wtf is that

[rich mirage]

Guys refrain from shitting on other schools please <3

[umbral garden]

its a korean word, it basically means business family

[rich mirage]

Samsung

[minor pecan]

found the yale scea

[umbral garden]

fuck no

[rancid mural]

we r joking abt the harvard-yale rivalry

[minor pecan]

no, im serious

[rancid mural]

luck 💀

[umbral garden]

people are quite dedicated about the rivalry irl huh 😭

i don't think i'm down for that

[rancid mural]

just dont go to the game

[umbral garden]

mf i be talking as if i'm getting into either of them 😭

[rancid mural]

i heard harvard games r dead until harvard v yale

[umbral garden]

the football game?

[rancid mural]

yes

[umbral garden]

football 😜

[rancid mural]

i hate sports

[minor pecan]

the game is the most important game of the year

doesnt matter if we lose every other match

[umbral garden]

i gotta call it soccer if i get to the states

[minor pecan]

as long as we win that one

[rancid mural]

decides who gets bragging rights

for a year

[umbral garden]

did you win this year?

[rancid mural]

they lost

[umbral garden]

or has it not happened

[minor pecan]

shut up

[umbral garden]

ah

ic

[rancid mural]

im not a football player but my presence at harvard will make yall win dw

[umbral garden]

i play the real football

breaking the gay stereotype (i'm at play rehearsal rn)

[rancid mural]

tell the AOs this so they let me in

[minor pecan]

i think we will be losing the next 4 yrs if u step foot on campus

[rancid mural]

[umbral garden]

foul

[rancid mural]

ik ur gonna be here laughing at ppl 💀

but make it educational

[umbral garden]

[rancid mural]

[rancid mural]

its the only possible date

[umbral garden]

i wonder if i can still submit any additional info since our show opens on the 8th...

i've already divulged the info with them about it, but i'd like to add rehearsal performance clips to the drama portfolio

[rancid mural]

probably not

theyre likely alrdy on main committee ngl

[umbral garden]

main committee?

[rancid mural]

or ending sub

[rancid mural]

goes through levels

[umbral garden]

not sure how the american process works, sorry 😭

[rancid mural]

Main is the last one

[umbral garden]

ahh ic

[rancid mural]

they def have decisions done by the 8th

except for last minute stuff

im so scared for dec 14 💀

[umbral garden]

why don't they just share it then if it'll be done?

[umbral garden]

me as well 😭

[rancid mural]

paperwork

and filing

and getting stuff ready

[umbral garden]

ah

[rancid mural]

ill be on facetime with my friend from johns hopkins

[minor pecan]

youre already in bruh

[rancid mural]

when i open

[umbral garden]

my rehearsals and activities are keeping me quite busy but i'm so nervous i can't focus

[small nacelle]

what about me

[rancid mural]

U say this but i do not believe u at all 💀

i lost my confidence

[minor pecan]

😐

[umbral garden]

i was fr concerned my director was going to fire me last night bcs i dissappeared for an hour panicking 😭

[minor pecan]

idk

[rancid mural]

i was so confident before 😭

[umbral garden]

def oversharing, mb

[minor pecan]

i just got like 2 warns for some reason so i will not be doing any more fake chances

[rancid mural]

luck u should become a harvard AO in the next 2 weeks

[umbral garden]

i was shortlisted to oxford and the interview went well so that's my hope as of now, but i know the systems aren't the same whatsoever

[rancid mural]

explain what shortlist is

[reef forge]

kace after u get in will you stop living in the harvard channel and come back to general

[rancid mural]

yes

im living here for the next 2 weeks then moving out

[umbral garden]

it's like trickling out the initial round of applicants-- they shortlist who they'd like to interview

[reef forge]

do you think about harvard application all the time

[rancid mural]

back to my home town of general

[umbral garden]

interviews are also different here as they ask more questions about your course and grades

[rancid mural]

when im not doing school work yes 💀

[rancid mural]

ah

[reef forge]

im ngl i dont rlly think of my college decisions at all

like georgetown comes out in 2 weeks and idgaf

idk why im j chillin

[rancid mural]

so its just eliminating the first ppl, then moving onto ones that interest them

[umbral garden]

a few of my friends ended up having unsuccessful apps even tho we go to a priv "brother" school, so i feel a bit better about things for making it to the interview

[umbral garden]

exactly

[rancid mural]

im just super scared

[umbral garden]

i heard it was really difficult for international students

[rancid mural]

urochester is great and id be happy to go if necessary, but i dont wanna need loans

[reef forge]

if u get deferred its not the end of the world bc you are competitive for all t20s

[rancid mural]

maybe i can pull a merit scholarship for rochester

and make it free

[umbral garden]

i have to pay for school myself it's not one that my mum and dad are happy with 💀

[rancid mural]

crazy

[umbral garden]

i'm praying they extend our run to the west end so i can make a bit more money but i think that's unlikely as the leads have other projects

[umbral garden]

no fr

[rancid mural]

wdym run to the west

[reef forge]

is uroch ur safety

[rancid mural]

idk what its considered

[umbral garden]

that's why i be sweating over harvard

[umbral garden]

is ur pfp sonny?

[rancid mural]

dome have said safety others have said target

i just say safety/target

cus the line is so thin

[umbral garden]

extending our run from off west end to the main theatres

[reef forge]

https://tenor.com/view/heung-min-son-gif-27427058

ironic bc im a liverpool fan and hate tottenham

[umbral garden]

i adore him he's so attractive 😭

[rancid mural]

🤨

[umbral garden]

spurs are great wtf

[reef forge]

what do we call tottenham? shit what do we call shit? tottenham

[rancid mural]

octo how confident r u

[umbral garden]

https://tenor.com/view/project-runway-gay-geoffrey-you-know-im-gay-coming-out-gif-16160160

[reef forge]

bros not wrong

[umbral garden]

about what?

[rancid mural]

like for harvard

[umbral garden]

ah

i think maybe 30-40% confident???

absolutely nothing higher than that

[rancid mural]

id say im 60% confident prob. i was at like 90%, then a2c broke me 💀

[umbral garden]

that's great!!

my confidence has definitely dwindled as well, but it's alright

one of my friends was recruited for tennis already she's quite good

i think she's aiming for wimbledon this year 😭

i love seeing recruitment posts on ig

[stable pecan]

Dang she’s cool

[umbral garden]

tennis is such a lovely sport

i'm not sure if they have a mens team, but i'd def like to join that or the football team

i heard that uni sports are quite demanding tho

[minor pecan]

yall will never be as cool as harvard chat

holy

4:20

[rancid mural]

is that the verified harvard server 💀

[minor pecan]

ye

[strange wedge]

Math 55 is maddd easy right

[rancid mural]

Glad im not a math person

[plush loom]

does she buy u stuff

[tepid sphinx]

@minor pecan

[obtuse pine]

another day, another chance gone to get an interview 😔

[strange wedge]

Shhh I was freaking out too but I got mine last week…so there’s still hope

[obtuse pine]

They will probably be done reading apps in a little over a week so I probably will not get one at this point.

But I should stop worrying because there is nothing I can do about it anyway

[rancid mural]

it doesnt mean anything

well getting one does but not having one wont hurt u

[pulsar pond]

bro same a2c wrecked me

I'm already questioning where did I find the courage to even apply in the first place

[rancid mural]

a2c says ill get in, but then theres ppl who are sm more cracked that make me worried

[rich wren]

they dont live in rural alabama tho🧐

[rancid mural]

yeah true

[strange wedge]

U will be fine no matter what

[rich wren]

idk i see u getting into a good school

ur pretty set kace

[strange wedge]

I joined because it’s so cool to know at least 1 person from here will be getting into their dream school

That would be soooo cool to experience

[rancid mural]

def more than 1

[strange wedge]

No frllll. So don’t stress out tbh. If you’re meant to be at Harvard there’s no way you won’t get in

[rancid mural]

i dont wanna get deferred and have to wait 3.5 months 💀

[strange wedge]

Literally no one does😭 it happens tho

[haughty dew]

this is so real

[minor pecan]

No

[plush loom]

lol

is she pre med

[minor pecan]

Idk

[rancid mural]

how do u not know ur sisters plans 💀

[minor pecan]

uh

60% of harvard grads end up in finance or consulting so idk

[sick adder]

LOL

[jolly lichen]

seems high

[vague hemlock]

harvard thread might make #1 at this rate

[pulsar pond]

Let’s go

[jolly lichen]

senior survey says it's 40% of the 60% that are working immediately after graduation, so 24% of the whole class

[pulsar pond]

We gonna make sure Harvard is no.1 everywhere

[jolly lichen]

https://features.thecrimson.com/2023/senior-survey/after-harvard/

[pulsar pond]

Surprisingly not everybody is going to grad school

[rancid mural]

why is it surprising

[pulsar pond]

I mean it's suprising to me that a lot less people go to med school etc

just me

[foggy gyro]

its this harverd school

[opal night]

Why would everyone go to med school lol

[rancid mural]

interesting stats

theyve always accepted the same amount, just more applicants

[sick adder]

thats so cool

[pulsar pond]

Ofc I don’t mean everybody goes to med school

What I mean is that I thought there would be more people going to business school, extension school etc

That’s just my perspective

[opal night]

A lot of people forgo getting their mba because they can get nice jobs straight out of college

Many of my cousins did that and went back later if they really wanted to

[pulsar pond]

Yeah I get that

[jolly lichen]

oh med school is "professional school" and fellowships are typically also grad school

so it's basically like 60-40 split between work and grad sch

[jolly lichen]

yah I mean the class size hasn't really changed

[pulsar pond]

ah I see

[minor pecan]

rip TO

[sick adder]

gg

[late zenith]

?

[minor pecan]

the spike in applicants over the past few years is largely attributed to TO policy

[vague hemlock]

20% acceptance rate for Harvard is insane

[minor pecan]

golden age

[late zenith]

well the amount of ppl applying has increased but not necessarily the competency/quality

[strange wedge]

Wish I was class of ‘18 rn tf

Actually nah I’d be kinda old

[minor pecan]

@jolly lichen boomer 🤣

[jolly hinge]

Isn’t he c/o ‘22

[minor pecan]

he took a gap year

[jolly hinge]

Yeah so by admit date

He’d be ‘22

[minor pecan]

true

still boomer

tho

[honest imp]

writing straight bars for my harvard essays rn

[minor pecan]

nice

[honest imp]

very

[late zenith]

[pulsar pond]

alright a math genius from my school just got rejected from Oxford math

what makes me think I'm going to get into Harvard with all these brilliant people getting rejected from Oxbridge

[snow ingot]

bc oxbridge is so clear

[pulsar pond]

sometimes i‘d rather that

even my friends have no idea why they got rejected

[vague hemlock]

Harvard is so different from oxbridge

[pulsar pond]

my friend got a 45/45 full IB predicted grade, a pass on his TMUA, still got no interview from Cambridge econ

[vague hemlock]

and also Lumina maybe chill?😭 what will happen will happen

[pulsar pond]

can't chill girl

I realized how I could've added in more impactful ecs on my common app

since Im doing my ucs rn

[vague hemlock]

you didn't add your main activities?

[pulsar pond]

no I did

I add in what I thought were my main

international synthetic biology competition, economics olympiad, internship, JHU summer course, volunteering etc

but then there was one time when I was the scriptwriter for my school's first musical

i also did a bunch other things on that

and we raised 10k hkd (divide by 7.8 to find usd amount) for the school

I didn't think it was really impactful until I think of it

😭

[vague hemlock]

girl you'll be fine

either you get in and you realise you didn't need that ec anyway

or you get deferred and you send in an update

[pulsar pond]

i mean in some way it doesn't really fit with my narrative

[vague hemlock]

or you get rejected and you realise Harvard never was a good fit for you anyway

[vague hemlock]

what's your narrative?

[pulsar pond]

bridging history and biology

caring about world issues, activism etc

yeah these were the two big things I wanted to show

[vague hemlock]

Then you're good

[pulsar pond]

sigh yeah I just love overthinking

the negative vibes are getting increasingly dominant

[vague hemlock]

We're not even in December yet honey

[pulsar pond]

not far away

[pulsar pond]

😭 thats very nice of you

but my econ olympiad isn't the main one

[jolly lichen]

dumbass

[minor pecan]

[umbral garden]

one of my mates is international and she worked so hard but wasn't offered even for an interview for bme 💀

[umbral garden]

neat

ppl here are so talented holy fuck 💀

[pulsar pond]

lol a fun fact

I gave up applying to Cambridge because I cannot give no fucks about taking BMAT

and because one "friend" of mine was nagging me day and night to go apply to take the test

peak balling behavior

[umbral garden]

i had to take my AT on my birthday 😭

[strange wedge]

Ooooh I did bridging Biology and the Arts

Ok bridgessss

[pulsar pond]

I mean my essays were already submitted to Harvard

but sure I haven't applied to any RD

yet

[pulsar pond]

yes I do

just trying to save application fee
what if Harvard wants me lol

nono I only did Harvard REA

[rancid mural]

RD apps arent due yet

so most ppl r waiting

[pulsar pond]

I just didn't ea/Ed other than Harvard

[rancid mural]

im just gonna submit urochester

cus merit scholarships

R due

what 3

[pulsar pond]

that's actually great tbh

[rancid mural]

also ur a college student? how did u apply ea

[pulsar pond]

I just made the bad decision to blow 2 whole months just to prep my Harvard app

no no what I mean is

[rancid mural]

go to channels and roles

[pulsar pond]

yes I'm definitely looking at other schools

[rancid mural]

To switch

[pulsar pond]

I'm just not doing rd for other schools since I'm waiting for Harvard results to come out

though very unlikely, if Harvard accepts me I will obv 100% go

[rancid mural]

idk if uroch is my target or safety but im submitting tonight 🙏🏽

[pulsar pond]

so I could save application fee because if that's the case I don't have to apply to other schools

if I get deferred or rejected alright then we're doing rd

[rancid mural]

very difficult to

[pulsar pond]

I regret that decision

[rancid mural]

intls wont get aid

at publics

[pulsar pond]

I'm not technically intl

us dual citizen

just oos everywhere

[rancid mural]

yeah cus public schools dont give aid to non-instate generally

i just ea'd to umich and uwmadision cus they have some decent scholarships

ur full pay?

and if u dont?

public schools are very hard to get aid at

If ur not in state

[pulsar pond]

yeah ikr

[rancid mural]

u didnt apply to privates ea right?

just makinh sure

[pulsar pond]

obv

I'm not stupid

I know the rules

[rancid mural]

r u cs

why rea harvard then

to shoot ur shot?

im confused

did u not apply to harvard

why r u in the harvard megathread 😭

ic

[umbral garden]

ECs are extracurriculars, right?

is the girl named Lumina? she had biology activities if i recall

that's wonderful!

most of my activities are skewed towards drama and business, but i've done some research as well because i heard that was important for unis

i submitted my application!
