[grizzled dragon]

thanks! always there to help ppl I see

[minor pecan]

Np

[pseudo hawk]

I've taken like 10 classes relating to finance at regular and ap level

[jolly lichen]

well... I get it and also don't get it at all (I'm in finance now but I never really had aspirations for finance)

[pseudo hawk]

@minor pecan Between your sets? 👀

[jolly lichen]

OK genuine question what were the classes on

[minor pecan]

but are you ever going to go back now

🤔

[jolly lichen]

is there that much finance content to learn

[jolly lichen]

TBD ask me in a year

[minor pecan]

Ok

[jolly lichen]

that's when I have to decide for this round

[pseudo hawk]

Personal finance, business management, small business operations, ap micro / macro

[minor pecan]

do you still have your offers?

[jolly lichen]

I could reapply to grad school later but

[minor pecan]

for the phd

[jolly lichen]

that's a later decision

[pseudo hawk]

im blanking on the others

[jolly lichen]

I deferred an offer for a year and they said they're open to deferring a second year

[minor pecan]

Oh dang nice

[jolly lichen]

hence why I have to decide in a year (plus 3 months) from now

[minor pecan]

gotcha

[minor pecan]

I don’t review essays anymore

[jolly lichen]

that's only 5

is there a particular kind of finance you're interested in?

[pseudo hawk]

hyperbole, just indicating interest really

[grizzled dragon]

u can't say that!!!

[pseudo hawk]

not necessarily. investments seems cool tho

and banking

and probably not insurance

[lofty depot]

@minor pecan I'M BACK!! Sorry I couldn't say away from this server (I mean you) any longer

[pseudo hawk]

who is mrs. luck

😭

[grizzled dragon]

lmao we got a whole family here

[jolly lichen]

like asset management type stuff? or investment banking like m&a?

[late zenith]

Do u do quant at citadel

[minor pecan]

bruh

[minor pecan]

Some impostor

[pseudo hawk]

Either one tbh, haven't decided fully

[jolly lichen]

not that you gave to have an answer rn, I'm just curious what people interested in finance from HS are thinking about

[pseudo hawk]

Two sides of the same coin

[jolly lichen]

nah they're pretty diff

[jolly lichen]

no comment on firm, the field is too small

[lofty depot]

I can help if you'd like Luck doen't value me anyway 😦

[pseudo hawk]

How so? Isn't asset management more for consumers and investment banking for firms?

im using "consumer" and "firm" very loosely here

buyer and seller

[lofty depot]

I'm the owner of this house! Who are you?

[pseudo hawk]

your existence baffles me

i'm having a hard time believing you're not @minor pecan 's alter ego

is this your alt?

[minor pecan]

It’s not me

[lofty depot]

it is lol

[minor pecan]

Bruh

[lofty depot]

[umbral garden]

what does this mean?

[umbral garden]

[spring ledge]

Why do yall like Harvard the most?

[pseudo hawk]

i said this 25 minutes ago

[umbral garden]

I’m just reading up, sorry

[pseudo hawk]

i was messing around

all good

[lofty depot]

@minor pecan is there 🙂

[umbral garden]

I have a break during my tech week rehearsals so I’d like to spend it malding

[umbral garden]

hasty pudding society, museums, & research ❤️

and boston ofc

[grizzled dragon]

lmao that would be my reason to not go atm

[umbral garden]

are the two of you together or is that a joke and ur just mates?

if you are that’s really sweet!

[lofty depot]

omg who is this now 💀

[lofty depot]

We're together!

[lofty depot]

aww thanks

[umbral garden]

that’s so cute! I hope you get in here or another uni in Boston so you can be in proximity

[lofty depot]

ah kindness still exists

[minor pecan]

Neither

[lofty depot]

he likes to keep stuff confidential

[umbral garden]

wait what 😭

[lofty depot]

so ignore him

[minor pecan]

We’re not together

I don’t know her

[umbral garden]

oh 💀

mb

idk what to believe 💔

[lofty depot]

[umbral garden]

omg I found out my sister re applied after all

[lofty depot]

where?

[umbral garden]

harvard

I think she’s going to drop Oxford if she gets in here

[lofty depot]

ah that's so cool

[umbral garden]

she put the part in the application that a sibling was applying, but I didn’t know that so I didn’t have the chance 😭

maybe they’ll know if just one of us notes it

[lofty depot]

yup they will!

[umbral garden]

bcs I heard a sibling applying somewhat helps ur chances

[lofty depot]

interesting

[minor pecan]

I gave you all that advice and you still join back @lofty depot

😐

Waste of my time

[umbral garden]

Idk if it’s the same for all us schools though

probably not

I hope she gets in out of us both, but I’d be super happy if I got in with her

I rly hope she isn’t rejected again, especially if I get in and she doesn’t

[lofty depot]

I mean everything was going well but then I suddenly missed you

[umbral garden]

lowkey think she’d hate me forever

[lofty depot]

aww a kind soul fr

[lofty depot]

oops

[minor pecan]

Think they rj both or accept both

[umbral garden]

she deserves it SO much more than I do

[minor pecan]

tho that might be for twins

[lofty depot]

now how is that my fault! It's yours!

[umbral garden]

no way 😭

[lofty depot]

both accept dw

[umbral garden]

that sort of makes sense to avoid rivalry, but I don’t think it’s right

like my start rly deserves it

sister*

[lofty depot]

harvard is a place for kind ppl (that's how luck got in)

[umbral garden]

sorry I’m typing fast it’s dark in here 😭

[minor pecan]

^ Correct

[lofty depot]

[umbral garden]

I hope ur right and not joking bcs I’d hate to go to school with obnoxious ppl 😭

[jolly lichen]

asset management is like picking what investments to hold for consumers given their risk appetite, etc. it's like a particular aspect of individuals' financial needs but I think the most analogous thing would be commercial banking

investment banking is for firms, but mostly isnt asset allocation. it's more specialty financial services like mergers and acquisitions, IPOs, etc

[lofty depot]

haha nah im serious

[umbral garden]

oh good!!

I’m so glad

[lofty depot]

no wayyyy!

u like taylor swift

that's so coll

[minor pecan]

most ppl r nice on campus

including me

[umbral garden]

yesss!!! I saw her in the US at the eras tour and I’m going again for the Seoul and London dates

[lofty depot]

and wait, good omens?? I can't!!!

[lofty depot]

no way that is so so COOL

It's always the kind people who like her haha

[umbral garden]

STOPPP U LIKE GOOD OMENS

[lofty depot]

can't relate moreee

[umbral garden]

I’m in a production with the actor that plays Crowley rn I’m being such a fanboy 😭

I got him coffee the other day

[pseudo hawk]

I see! Yea, I don't really have a preference, lol. Too young and not educated enough to choose yet

Both seem fascinating in their own way

[lofty depot]

wow

[umbral garden]

I’m gay but thank u 💀

[lofty depot]

😭

gotta delete it wait

[umbral garden]

the sentiment is appreciated

LMAO

[lofty depot]

[spring ledge]

OOF

[lofty depot]

wait u fly planes??

[umbral garden]

omg my sister has a pilots license too!!

[spring ledge]

Yes ma’am 🤠

[umbral garden]

it sounds so cool I could never 😭

such a unique skill

[lofty depot]

is that a thing? I mean in hs or what?

[spring ledge]

Minimum age to solo is 16 and minimum age to get the private license is 17

Did both on my bday so I get to say i was the worlds youngest pilot 🫡

[umbral garden]

she went to an after school programme since there was a local flight school nearby

[umbral garden]

woah!!!

[spring ledge]

I met another pilot in this server lmao

Never met one my age 💀

[lofty depot]

um wow

[lofty depot]

i see

[umbral garden]

u gotta rly me to boston after we get in on the 15th

🙏

[spring ledge]

I wanna fly to vesitas myself

[lofty depot]

are u done with your interview btw?

[jolly lichen]

yah fair enough. good luck to you with whatever you end up pursuing

[umbral garden]

for harvard?

[lofty depot]

yes'

[umbral garden]

I got it about 3 days after I applied

[lofty depot]

wow and you're inernational?

[umbral garden]

it didn’t go great, but the interviewer was just dry

[umbral garden]

I’m in London so that’s probably why it was quicker

[lofty depot]

ah doesn't carry much weight anyway

[umbral garden]

my sister is in Seoul rn but she said she got her interview within a week from someone in NYC

[lofty depot]

the oxford one right?

[spring ledge]

Why yall so spread out 🤠

[umbral garden]

It was fine; but we just didn’t have much in common academically

[pseudo hawk]

Thank you! If you don't mind me asking, what college are you attending?

[umbral garden]

yup

[pseudo hawk]

I'm assuming harvard

[lofty depot]

right

[jolly lichen]

I graduated from Harvard last May

[umbral garden]

my dad is a diplomat and my mum works for our family business 😭

[lofty depot]

that's why he's the smartest on the server

[pseudo hawk]

Oh sweet! I guess you're pretty removed from college essays then, i was gonna ask a follow up question on that 😭

[storm condor]

what major

[umbral garden]

that’s amazing 😭

[jolly lichen]

physics and cs

[storm condor]

double concentration?

[umbral garden]

my sister is going to major in physics if she goes! how did you like it?

[jolly lichen]

yeah I guess I applied 6 years ago now. you can ask anyway but just with that asterisk on my answers lol

[jolly lichen]

physics AB, simultaneous SM in CS

[storm condor]

did u have any algos and ds class?

[umbral garden]

what’s that mean?

[pseudo hawk]

I was gonna ask about your essays / ecs or if you'd review my personal essay i think. tbh i forgot 🤣

[late zenith]

algorithm or discrete structures

[storm condor]

algorithms and data structures

[late zenith]

yeah that

lmfao

[umbral garden]

that’s a lot of yap but I’m sure it’s very smart 👍

Good on you

I wonder how many ppl matched to harvard on Questbrjdge this year

[minor pecan]

Harvard isn’t on qb

so 0

[spring ledge]

Dayum

[minor pecan]

yeah it’s a staple course

most ppl take it at some point

at basically every college

if you’re doing cs

[umbral garden]

oh really?

crazy

more early action spots for me then 😜

[minor pecan]

You’re ngmi

[pseudo hawk]

igmi

❤️

[minor pecan]

Ingmi

[jolly lichen]

yeah, I took cs 124 which is ds&a

[umbral garden]

what does that mean sorry 😭

ohhh not gonna make it right?

i probably won't, but i still have hope 🥲

def won't make it out of this rehearsal, it's already past midnight ://

[pulsar pond]

omg this chat is wild

[tepid sphinx]

So is everyone here REA or did some apply for RD around

round**

[minor pecan]

Vast majority is prob rea

but I think there are people who didn’t rea and are just in here anyways

[rancid mural]

yeah im not sure if im even applying

[opal night]

I did not rea

[reef forge]

Same

[strange wedge]

RAHHH

[jolly yacht]

might be an obvious answer question but want to make sure its ok
For Harvard's roommate essay is it fine to write it like a letter similar to the stanford roommate essay? I'm planning to reuse my stanford roommate essay but shorten it to fit Harvard's word count

[minor pecan]

Yeah

[jolly yacht]

cool

[pulsar pond]

when I was looking for guidance I was just reading guides to Stanford roommate essays

so don't worry I think it's ok

[jolly yacht]

oh i see

[opal night]

I’m legit going to recycle my Stanford roommate essay

[jolly yacht]

LOL

i will too

[opal night]

I’ll just cut it down to 3 things

[pulsar pond]

terrible but true advice:
just make sure you show what type of person you are

[opal night]

And make it less letter like ig

[pulsar pond]

and if you're happy about it it's ok

[jolly yacht]

the thing is idk if im being too formal still

[pulsar pond]

just write in the way you speak

[opal night]

Yeah I think my roommate essay is one of the best I’ve written

That and the ty note for UPenn

[pulsar pond]

I legit made a Barbie reference in my roommate essay

[jolly yacht]

is it bad to only have 3 main points in your stanford essay too? Like i talked about two hobbies and a tradition i have with my family that we could do

[opal night]

Nah it’s not bad they don’t expect a million

[jolly yacht]

kk

[opal night]

There’s only 250 words

[jolly yacht]

true

[pulsar pond]

I really liked mine lol

[jolly yacht]

is that required of the harvard one

[jolly yacht]

i think im liking mine i just worry its too stiff or formal

[pulsar pond]

you can ask your friends

and ask them

does this sound like what I'd say

[jolly yacht]

hm i see

[opal night]

No just 3 things you’d want your roommate to know

I think

[jolly yacht]

is it ok if its in a letter format still tho?

[pulsar pond]

I hope my AO watched the Barbie movie

or at least

[pulsar pond]

yeah thats what I did

[jolly yacht]

cool

[pulsar pond]

although i lowkey think it's overdone

but honestly

I can't think of how much more creative you can get from there

[jolly yacht]

true ig

i think its less about the format and more about the content

[pulsar pond]

definitely

[pulsar pond]

have listened to enough spotify ads to know Dance the night is Barbie's theme song

pls I thought that was such a great pun

[strange wedge]

Yuh I talked about how I eat cereal with warm milk 🫶🏾

[pulsar pond]

that's very hearty I like that in winter

let's make this chat active😋

milk first or cereal first

[late zenith]

[vague hemlock]

milk first and there's no other answer

[minor pecan]

Cereal

[minor pecan]

Be nice

[lofty depot]

Ah agreed!

Results come out in 10 days but like why do I already know what my letter will say

[pulsar pond]

we regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you a seat in the class of 2028

or

in a utopian world

CONGRATULATIONS!

[lofty depot]

Exactly! I quote "Another important detail about utopian world is that one has never existed."

[minor pecan]

Congratulations! I am delighted to inform you that the Committee on Admissions has admitted you to the Harvard College Class of 2028 under the Early Action program. A transformative college experience awaits you.

Mit undergrad is so mid

[minor pecan]

Son heung min

[minor pecan]

Ok

[rancid mural]

why is ur reaction to everything "ok"

[minor pecan]

It’s not

[reef forge]

Ok

[pseudo hawk]

Luck is programmed with a limited vocabulary

[rancid mural]

he was built at mit

[pseudo hawk]

excuse his lack of emotion

[reef forge]

Probably ngl

Luck is a bot

[pseudo hawk]

🤖

[minor pecan]

[reef forge]

Luck where's your respawn and despawn points

[minor pecan]

spawn point is griffin house

[reef forge]

[minor pecan]

despawn point unknown

[rancid mural]

Despawn at harvard yard

[spring ledge]

Is Harvard a community college?

[rancid mural]

thats how he sleeps

[minor pecan]

No, magnet school

[pulsar pond]

actually what is a magnet

[minor pecan]

Advanced hs for nerds I think

[lofty depot]

I quote "a school designed to attract pupils from various areas or groups, especially one offering specialist tuition in a particular subject alongside the standard curriculum."

[pulsar pond]

hmmmm

[minor pecan]

Sounds like harvard

[pulsar pond]

then what is a standard curriculum

[minor pecan]

Guess I was right

Unsurprising

[pulsar pond]

is liberal arts education not a standard curriculum

ok that sounds like a dumb question but isn't harvard a liberal arts college, and then allows you to pick a concentration later on

[rancid mural]

yes

harvard is a lac as far as undergrad goes

[minor pecan]

You pick concentration soph fall ye

[pulsar pond]

so the picking a concentration part constitutes the specialized tuition thing

[rancid mural]

what is specialized tuition

[lofty depot]

HARVARD IS NOT A MAGNET SCHOOL 🙂

Luck is gaslighting you

[minor pecan]

I’m not

[lofty depot]

unless he's talking about this school:

https://www.usnews.com/education/k12/texas/harvard-elementary-215939#:~:text=Harvard Elementary is a magnet,above that level for reading.

[minor pecan]

gaslighting isn’t a thing anymore

[lofty depot]

and harvard is not a magnet school!

[minor pecan]

no shit dawg

go study for your finals

otherwise you’re gonna get rescinded

[lofty depot]

I don't have finals for like 2 months lol

I have third semester exams on ok?

[minor pecan]

Ok

[rancid mural]

[lofty depot]

[rancid mural]

Wait, did you just indirectly imply that I'm getting into Harvard?

[lofty depot]

[rancid mural]

i still got next semester to do

[minor pecan]

Can’t say

[rancid mural]

[minor pecan]

Probably a typo

[rancid mural]

breaking news: luck says something semi-nice in the harvard megathread

[minor pecan]

I’ve said plenty of nice things in this channel

Idk where you guys got the idea that im not nice from

[lofty depot]

I somehow like your humor now

[lofty depot]

💀

I'm texting my region's Harvard Club now

[pulsar pond]

I'm just curious

[lofty depot]

It's like the alumni association

[pulsar pond]

[lofty depot]

(I think)

[pulsar pond]

[lofty depot]

Gonna ask a friend to send the email tho, don't wanna take any risk

[ebon creek]

😋

[lofty depot]

Does Harvard announce the exact decision release date anytime soon? Or do they just keep it vague with 'mid-december' till like a day before the release?

[tepid sphinx]

Believe it was the 15th last year

But likely some change in exact day in the year-to-year

[lofty depot]

Was it before yale or later?

[tepid sphinx]

No idea

[lofty depot]

I have a friend who applied there so was wondering who'll get their fate first

[tepid sphinx]

Can probably look online to see when Yale released their early admissions decisions last year.

[lofty depot]

wow ok

when does harvard release this stuff:

https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2023/11/14/with-7866-applicants-yale-college-receives-second-largest-ever-early-application-pool/

Yale's already got the scea data out

[lofty depot]

It was 15 for them too

[minor pecan]

you’ll prob get an email a week before

usually on 2nd or 3rd thursday of the month

very likely going to be dec 14th this year but obv no guarantees

[small nacelle]

@minor pecan what was your reaction when you got into Harvard?

also do you know derek osman

[rancid mural]

bro prolly had that mark Zuckerberg reaction

[lofty depot]

Can bots react?

[minor pecan]

I would say i was happy

[minor pecan]

bruh

[minor pecan]

😐

[rancid mural]

mark's reaction would be me if i was alone

but ill be on facetime

so imma play it up automatically 💀

[minor pecan]

I didn’t have a huge reaction or anything

cause I didn’t really care what happened at that point

[rancid mural]

being recorded i def would play it up for the camera

i dont wanna be posted and called a robot like zuck 💀

idk if i'll record

cus it would be hella sad if i got deferred

but then i could make a compilation

[minor pecan]

my mom recorded mine but my little sister had a bigger reaction than me so she basically took over the video

[rancid mural]

imm be on facetime w my friend at hopkins and i might record

idk yet

ill decide on spot prolly

[minor pecan]

Nah, post it anyways no balls

Gotta see it out

Everyone likes the acceptance vids

but you gotta show both sides

[minor pecan]

No

[vague hemlock]

i need context

[minor pecan]

https://youtu.be/gsefnhTK5lc?si=I7Cn_Ox-VuqUzCDG

[reef forge]

Bro is actually a bot

[small nacelle]

LMAOOOO i can so see that

[small nacelle]

LMAOOOO

[minor pecan]

[strange wedge]

Ima record trusttt

[small nacelle]

i'm gonna also record

[rancid mural]

i thjnk i will

just screen record

[reef forge]

me too

didnt record my safeties tho

[minor pecan]

harvard is safety

[cedar salmon]

nah video yourself

Idk why you wouldn’t, it’s a once in a lifetime thing

[rancid mural]

ill be on facetime

so it will be me

[cedar salmon]

Oh right

[rancid mural]

And my friend and my screen

[cedar salmon]

I don’t get why people don’t video it, there’s nothing to lose and you stand to gain an amazing video to watch years down the line

[minor pecan]

it doesn’t really matter

whether you recorded it or not in a few years

[rancid mural]

!yaleea

[frigid gate]

Yale University SCEA Date

Yale University decisions come out <t:1702591200:F> in your local time
11 days, 3 hours and 34 minutes until the decision date

ApplyingToCollege

[rancid mural]

11 days 5 hours til harvard

[strange wedge]

Yay!

[umbral garden]

i wonder if he's considered an alum or if he still associates himself with the school, does he?

[umbral garden]

gosh, i'm not ready

regular decisions?

what major did you apply under

[umbral garden]

that's a crazy big number, wow

i wonder what time the decisions are releasing for harvard, will it be the same time as yale?

[opal night]

Not too late to start

[umbral garden]

i rly hope not bcs i'll still be at my show and won't be able to check until it's over 😭

[minor pecan]

usually 7 pm est

[umbral garden]

that's midnight for me but at least i'll be home by then 🥲

i rly don't wanna open it at the theatre

ahhh im so nervous

[minor pecan]

he pledged to donate 500 mil a few years ago so prob idk

[umbral garden]

i think donors are super cool but not if it's just to get their kids in ykwim

a few ppl at my school actually did and ended up getting accepted in the past 💀

which i find unfair

[minor pecan]

by donating X amount of money they get one of their kids in and help pay for a ton of other shit too though

like fin aid exists in part due to large donors over the years

[umbral garden]

still, someone who is more deserving could have that spot instead

[small nacelle]

wait how much did they donate lmao

[minor pecan]

maybe one of the kids whose dad donated 250 mil got in because of the dono but now 300 other kids can attend for free over the next 3 years

marginal benefit outweighs the cost

[umbral garden]

if it pays for things then it does, but it could also be just alumni doing it in general

[umbral garden]

fair

[umbral garden]

i hear like 10 million quid or something CRAZY but her family had a vast history of alumni

i think usually its just 1 mil which is absolutely unheard of

[small nacelle]

like multi-generational legacy?

[umbral garden]

idk i don't find it fair

[umbral garden]

something like that, yeah

[minor pecan]

what do you propose then

no more donos?

[umbral garden]

i mean it's fine to donate i just said that 😭 i just think donations shouldn't be considered in admissions

that's all i said

[minor pecan]

decreased incentive to donate then

[umbral garden]

hmm

i don't know much about it so you're probably right

sorry i didn't mean to argue or offend 😭

[small nacelle]

@minor pecan you're not a legacy/donor right?

[minor pecan]

I mean it’s a complex topic so idk either

my sister goes here but they don’t count sibling legacy afaik

[umbral garden]

his sister attends i believe

[minor pecan]

parents didn’t go to college

[small nacelle]

ah interesting

[foggy rune]

Aren’t u committed to Princeton

[umbral garden]

i just want my elle woods black sheep moment 💔

[minor pecan]

That’s the impostor luck

who thinks he’s me

[foggy rune]

Oh

[minor pecan]

but he’s a fake

yeah

[foggy rune]

Other way around ☠️

[umbral garden]

isn't his name just also luck?

[foggy rune]

Jk

[minor pecan]

That’s not the conclusion we came to in verified village

[umbral garden]

that doesn't make him a fake, right?

[small nacelle]

@minor pecan how many people do think from this server are gonna make it to harvard

[umbral garden]

what's that?

[minor pecan]

I’m the original

[foggy rune]

Oh

[minor pecan]

a channel in this server

[foggy rune]

R u at Harvard

[umbral garden]

not luck, but hopefully everyone ❤️

[umbral garden]

ok tyy

wait what's it for?

[foggy rune]

R u a freshman at Harvard

[minor pecan]

rea? Lemme do some math rq

[small nacelle]

yes

[small nacelle]

yea he is

[foggy rune]

Oh

[minor pecan]

It’s just another general chat but only for people who are in college or have committed

[foggy rune]

Yea then I agree

Other luck is fake

But he’s in the verified channel now

[umbral garden]

oh neat!

[minor pecan]

My calculations say

🔺/62.10

[minor pecan]

Unfortunately

[umbral garden]

what does this mean 😭

[minor pecan]

nah, but I think there are at least 2

[umbral garden]

then that means he was likely admitted, right? since he's verified?

so why say no?

[minor pecan]

When did I say no

[umbral garden]

this?

[minor pecan]

He committed to princeotn thru questbridge

[umbral garden]

or did i misinterpret

[minor pecan]

We came to the conclusion that im the original and he’s the impostor

[umbral garden]

ohhh sorry

[minor pecan]

You need to learn how this app works

[umbral garden]

i'm sorry mate 😭

[minor pecan]

Dawg downloaded discord and immediately joined a2c

like wtf

🤓

[umbral garden]

one of my mates told me to check out the reddit and the discord, and it was sort of helpful to me so

idk how to respond to that 😭

[small nacelle]

wait what does this mean

[minor pecan]

nothing

just something random I typed up

[small nacelle]

lmao

ok so 2

?

[minor pecan]

.

yeah i’d say at least 1-2

[small nacelle]

but like what's your estimate

[umbral garden]

i'm sorry luck i'm just a lad 💔

[minor pecan]

i don’t know anyone’s profiles or stats or essays or anything

so I can’t make this prediction

[umbral garden]

i assume everyone here is talented and deserving so i hope they're all admitted 💙

[minor pecan]

we both know that’s not going to happen

[umbral garden]

shhh, be an optimist for once mate

[strange wedge]

Sigh

[sacred orchid]

gwa

[shell rain]

regarding a portfolio, what are things you would include?

[tepid sphinx]

[sick adder]

depends

i included some private pics type shi

bc i’m in the adult entertainment industry yk

[shell rain]

just a general portfolio, i’m pursuing a major in economics but i have things i feel i could include in a portfolio i wouldn’t be able in my application

or would that not be necessary? i feel it could add info im just not sure how to go about it

[shell rain]

yeah for sure 👍

[rancid mural]

harvard needs to hurry tf up w posting the date

so we can get a !harvardea

[lofty depot]

facts

[grizzled dragon]

ugh my laptop screen has a newly created line on one side. What could that mean

[umbral garden]

WHAT??

[umbral garden]

i think they usually only accept arts and creative writing portfolios which you have to pay for on Slideroom. I believe you can include projects and research articles in the additional information section, but that's like the extent of what they accept

also if you're doing REA it might be too late for them to review that 💀

[pulsar pond]

Guys

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/18a9a88/have_the_ivys_announce_their_ed_decision_release/

is this true

[rancid mural]

harvard's date is correct

as is yale

as is columbia

ivies dont all have the same rea/ed date though

[pulsar pond]

but where did the harvard date come from

I checked the harvard website it still says mid Dec

[rancid mural]

because its the same time every year

its always a thursday

typically the 3rd thursday, but this year december falls later

so it will be the 2nd thursday for a few years

then back to 3rd

[pulsar pond]

interesting

ok

looks like 15th December is going to be the most tormenting school day for me

[strange wedge]

It’s 5Pm dec 14

[rancid mural]

its 7 pm

its not 5 pm

[strange wedge]

Oh?

[rancid mural]

est

[rancid mural]

its 2 hours after yale

[strange wedge]

Ooh gotchu

[pulsar pond]

so it's 7pm est right

[rancid mural]

yes

[strange wedge]

time to hibernate until then

[minor owl]

wheres the madness

[strange wedge]

I think he means on Dec 14

[minor owl]

oh i seee

[haughty dew]

Hey Harvard REA kids

How’s the pressure

Also how do you advice writing the essays 🤓

[rancid mural]

what

id say write the first 4 serious and the last one is meant to be more fun

if thats what ur talkin

[haughty dew]

thanks kace

[small nacelle]

I created a timer that counts down to the second until Harvard decisions come out if any of you guys want it as well https://countingdownto.com/?c=5179117

[wet light]

Can someone review my Harvard supps pls I want to submit today.

[barren burrow]

!harvardea

whaaat

Has there been a confirmed decision date?

[lofty depot]

nah

it's based off the general trend

every 2nd Thursday is the decision day ig

in December ofc

[barren burrow]

oh gotcha

[rancid mural]

i did sum kinda like this and just put it on my home screen

[lofty depot]

woah how does one get this?

like apple calender?

[rancid mural]

app is called days

[lofty depot]

ooo thanks

[pulsar pond]

cute

[small nacelle]

yea you can dm me

[rancid mural]

i dont recommend doing this here

although i cant stop you, its much better to go to #📝-essays and ask for a prefrosh+

[pseudo hawk]

^

[pseudo hawk]

I’ll take a shot, tho. Working on mine rn if u wanna slide a dm

[jolly yacht]

DM me

[opal night]

This thread has severely demotivated me from applying here 😭

[rancid mural]

Everyone in this thread is weird i cant lie

[pseudo hawk]

so true

[rancid mural]

Yale thread seems much more calm 💀

[lofty depot]

um and here I am regretting my rea application

[lofty depot]

they are all supportive, optimistic and calm somehow

[pulsar pond]

are we not supportive

at least

cant say about optimistic and calm lol but we are supportive.....

[lofty depot]

should I just send harvard a rejection before it sends over one?

would be less embarassing I guess

[bitter path]

Mrs luck u have actually lost it gurl

Calm down🥲

[lofty depot]

btw guys like my school does not do the gpa thing, so does harvard convert scores themselves?

also, I just saw a document which states that 'final harvard interview' reports are due on 1st December. So I guess that's over too

it was a 2018 doc but I guess that applies to the current scenario too

[pulsar pond]

yeah so no AO interview for us I suppose

:((((

on a side note

i feel like my printer is a old dude

it takes 2 min for it to start printing my stuff after I hit the print button

[lofty depot]

[small nacelle]

it's ok you don't need an ao interview lmaoo

[small nacelle]

did you get an alumni interview at least?

my fav comment I saw this on reddit it was to someone who got an AO interview it was like "what some people are getting 2 interviews, i didn't even get one 😭 "

[pulsar pond]

yeah I did

mine was super early

[lofty depot]

how is that your favorite

[pulsar pond]

I got my interview invite in 3 days after I submitted my app

[small nacelle]

it just shows like harvard is kind of very weird with their interviews lmao

[small nacelle]

no way dang that's really good

[lofty depot]

it's painful for me as an international

[small nacelle]

yea

it's sad honeslty

like what about zoom lmao

[rancid mural]

AO interviews are much different

They donf have deadlines

Its by UR ao

Hes the one deciding

Alumni r over though, yeah

[lofty depot]

Perfect

[thick sphinx]

just chill, there's nothing you can do with worrying

[pulsar pond]

wdym UR ao

[rancid mural]

Your ao

[pulsar pond]

oh

lol what is wrong with my brain

[lofty depot]

my delulu self will wait for an AO interview now 🤡

[pulsar pond]

ok thanks

[rancid mural]

This

What if an AO saw yall rn 💀

[thick sphinx]

and while it seems like most accepted people go through the interview process, I don't think you should worry too much if you didn't get an email

the admission office probably knows what they are doing, so just chill and focus on other things

[rancid mural]

Even if ur deferred u have a chancw in RD for other schools

admissions is a vibe check

[thick sphinx]

ye, just focus on finalizing RDs

[lofty depot]

huh that's fair

[rancid mural]

Also most ppls decisions r prob alrdy made

[lofty depot]

is it so

[rancid mural]

yes

they are

my college access counselor who worked as an AO said they're most likely finished with most of ED/REA by now

[lofty depot]

u mean harvard?

or like ivies in general?

[rancid mural]

just ivies in general

t20s in general

harvard prob alr done cuz they dont even do qb 💀

[small nacelle]

then why don't they release now 😭

just to torture us I guesS?

[rancid mural]

i have no idea i dont work in the admissions office

maybe they just spend an obnoxious amount of time on borderline applicants or start reviewing later

[small nacelle]

lmao the obnoxious amount of time on borderline applicants is so accurate

[pulsar pond]

I'm so sick of waiting

give me the chop please

[minor pecan]

stop waiting

[lofty depot]

me too

Why am I even waiting tho i wonder?

It's not like I don't know the outcome

[minor pecan]

because you have a drop of hope

[lament bay]

i’m so happy i didn’t apply

i didn’t waste $90

[lofty depot]

yeah maybe but why do I?

It's not like it'll help in any way

[minor pecan]

best to not think about it then

[lofty depot]

yeah that was smart of u indeed

[lament bay]

type shi

[minor pecan]

same thing an admit in history said the day of decisions

[lament bay]

because you’re optimistic

[lament bay]

someone who got in didn’t waste $90? how does that work

[minor pecan]

you only "wasted" the money if you get rejected

[lament bay]

no i’m saying i didn’t waste money on the app because i didn’t apply

[lofty depot]

it'll be harsh on me when the results come out then

guess I'll never be optimistic again then 🙂

[lament bay]

nah trust you got it, harvard wants you 🗣️

just reject their rejection letter, let em know you’re gonna be on campus either way

[lofty depot]

gotcha

[opal night]

Yeah 😭

[minor pecan]

all the applicants yeah

[lofty depot]

admitted people too ngl

[rancid mural]

Nor did i

[lament bay]

fee waiver 😔😔

[lofty depot]

my money gonna drown soon

I could have brought so much stuff with that money

who gave me the stupid idea of applying to harvard

[rancid mural]

Atleast you'll get closure

If ur not deferred that is

Theres no reason for me to not shotgun if im deferred

[vocal fable]

i go to harvard

[lofty depot]

I'd rather deny that and live in this existing uncomfortable state

[vocal fable]

yeah

[lofty depot]

that's sad

[rancid mural]

I see no downside to shotgunning

[vocal fable]

yeah

when i got defer mit i shotgunned

[rancid mural]

So imma apply to 8 on common app and 6 on qb

[vocal fable]

that’s not shotgunning bro

that’s like bbgunning

[rancid mural]

How is 14 reaches not shotgunning 💀

[vocal fable]

actually u right

if you’re applying only reached ig

i think i still applied to a lot of targets so my overall was higher but reaches probably abt the same

[rancid mural]

I also have urochester, syracuseu, and RIT as targets/safeties

[vocal fable]

7 ivies + cmu stanford rice northwestern jhu berkley la mit

i think thats all rhe reaches i applued

[rancid mural]

Did u only get into penn

[vocal fable]

yeah 💀

thats why i advocate shotgunning

[rancid mural]

Damn they chose for u

[lofty depot]

I mean with that faith everyone has in you, I guess you should just sit, relax and chill until harvard decision day

[vocal fable]

i guess georgia tech and uiuc snd umich are probably reavhes for cs students too

[rancid mural]

If ur a questie especially

Everythings free and u need a full ride

So why not

[vocal fable]

should i change my identity to be a harvard student

and see how ppl treat me differently on here

[lofty depot]

yeah definitely

[rancid mural]

im no longer a trans man, i identify as a harvard student

[vocal fable]

realll

[lofty depot]

that's nice

[vocal fable]

i’ve transferred to harvard officially now it seems

[rancid mural]

Ppl seem to hate on Harvard here 💀

Cus most harvard applicants cant point out many spwcifics

But i can point out specifics anywhere

[vocal fable]

i bet i’ll get more dms from kids begging for stats and shit now 💀

i should have read harvard

[lofty depot]

I want to pursue econ at harvard too, got any application tips?

[rancid mural]

Oats ardy got a million after getting into mit

[vocal fable]

no

[lofty depot]

can I dm you please

need some guidance u see

harvard is a crapshot anyway

u can help 🙂

[rancid mural]

If anyone dms me asking for stats ill give them some random presidents stats or sum

[vocal fable]

i will consult you for $300/hr

[lofty depot]

that's unfair

why are harvard kids so greedy

[vocal fable]

fr it is unfair for me i should be charging $600

i go to harvard

i deserve $800/hr

[rancid mural]

Its harvard

30% are legacy kids w rich daddies

[lofty depot]

bro then they should take money from their daddy, why low income kids like me

[lofty depot]

bye

[rancid mural]

So they can be billionaires instead of millionaires

Ahats ur major
