Harvard University (2023-2024)

[minor pecan]

viewing my admissions file soon, do yall think it would help RD people if i shared it?

[rancid mural]

harvard podcast would be them tryna defend the 30% legacy population or avoiding that question like the plague💀

[rancid mural]

perhaps

maybe intl kids

[minor pecan]

hmm

ight cool i won’t share it then

[rancid mural]

i'd never share mine 💀

except my rankings

u should tell us ur rankings

1 personality would be crazy

[minor pecan]

ok

[lofty depot]

that's toxic. A toxic relationship u see. Gives signals and then dissapears. I text harvard it ghosts me in return. I wait for a bare minimum email, nothing and now straight up a break up coming up soon!!!

the three 'up' in the end were unintentional

[rancid mural]

me thinks ur regretting rea'ing to harvard

if i get in imma email the second i enroll or whenever i'mallowed to

[lofty depot]

I regret applying to harvard***

[rancid mural]

u didnt rea?

[minor pecan]

yeah when a lot of ppl are emailing and trying to view

[lofty depot]

how do ppl do that? I'll ask a friend to get his file reviewed too?

[minor pecan]

just google it

my friend from my hs viewed it a few days ago

[rancid mural]

like will ferpa waiver prevent

[minor pecan]

nah

[rancid mural]

ok good

[minor pecan]

idt so

[lofty depot]

i mean rea and ed aren't factors in this regrettable journey u see. My dream, delusions, application, I regret all 🙂

[rancid mural]

i wanna do that at whatever college i enroll in

[ashen carbon]

i feel this

[lofty depot]

k cool

[rancid mural]

so mad harvard dont got a pharmacy on campus

[lofty depot]

u r the only one who understands!!

[rancid mural]

i gotta leave campus

[ashen carbon]

so-called free thinkers when they get into harvard and suddenly think every other school is equally good

[minor pecan]

It is 1 minute away mf

[rancid mural]

STILL

they couldnt move it 1 mile backward

and put it on the edge of campus

[lofty depot]

you're doing math wrong

[minor pecan]

Always complaining

[lofty depot]

1 mile not equals 1 minute

[minor pecan]

math isn’t their strong area

[ashen carbon]

too little space for kung fu tea

[rancid mural]

it is for me?

[lofty depot]

oops mb

[lofty depot]

was for you*

[rancid mural]

when smth is 5 miles away in alabama it takes 5 minutes

going 60

[lofty depot]

how tho

[rancid mural]

which is typically what we ho

[lofty depot]

[rancid mural]

wdym

60 miles per hour = 1 mile per minute

for driving

[lofty depot]

oh driving lmao

[ashen carbon]

1 mile in nyc = 60 minutes away

[rancid mural]

i forget college campuses arent car centric

in alabama i cant walk anywhere

so i auto-convert time to miles

[lofty depot]

why?

im so curious

[rancid mural]

we dont have sidewalks lmfao

i gotta walk on yards

im rural

[lofty depot]

idk what's rural in american context tho

lemme search

[rancid mural]

3k ppl in my town

6k in the county

[lofty depot]

bruh mine got like 1 milion ppl

i mean city

is it

[minor pecan]

how many times have you drove on a highway here?

[rancid mural]

thats insane

[lofty depot]

is america even woth guys?

worth

[rancid mural]

NYC has 3 million more ppl than the state of alabama LMFAO

[lofty depot]

woah woah

[minor pecan]

general

[stable pecan]

yup 🦅 🇺🇸

[rancid mural]

highways in alabama r easy

[minor pecan]

oh.

[rancid mural]

i dont think i'd ever drive up north

too scary

[lofty depot]

why scary?

[rancid mural]

too many people on the road

[lofty depot]

ah gotcha I thought ghosts or smthing

[rancid mural]

at night our highways r almost empty

like 3 ppl max

and thats mostly ppl going to work

or coming home

since there's a lot of welders here, many work night shift

[small nacelle]

same lmaoo

[rancid mural]

@minor pecan what time did harvard release their decision date officially last year

dyk

[sick adder]

who deleted my messages

where is the freedom of speech

[bitter path]

I didnt get an alumni but I got contacted by my AO this monday saying they wanna chat with me ASAP but I was busy with my oxford interview this week so we settled on the 11th

are u a dickhead from the beginning or does harvard put something in their water, I know I fucked one of my supps but u dont know the rest of my application

[late zenith]

thats his style

duhh

[sick adder]

hawk ur so cute

[late zenith]

?

[sick adder]

ur so bad

[late zenith]

who r u

[sick adder]

someone leaked pics

[late zenith]

what

[bitter path]

he needs to get it sorted cuz he fr gonna get jumped one day

[late zenith]

how

[sick adder]

ur maddddd cute

[rancid mural]

crazy

@minor pecan

wonder why u only got ao interview

rather than alumni then ao

could be an intl thing

[bitter path]

We'll see on the 11th cuz they didnt mention anything on the email

[rancid mural]

damn

what did the email say

just "lets have a chat" 💀

or what

[bitter path]

but us UK and Canada have a vast alumni so not sure why I didnt get one

i think we brits have the biggest club outside the US

[bitter path]

yh, nothing else

[rancid mural]

i rlly want an ao interview to explain my schooling better

i think it would benefit me

[bitter path]

are you out of school or what??

[rancid mural]

graduating early in a school with only 600 ppl and 4 APs

i explained it a bit in my alumni interview but ik AOs will report exactly what they heard

alumni's have to pick what to include

[small nacelle]

lmao

[rancid mural]

no i mean like

when did they release the date

like when did they say "its the 15th"

[small nacelle]

wow nicee

[minor pecan]

What

[rancid mural]

why woyld someone get ao but no alumni

[bitter path]

does graduating early make a difference?

[minor pecan]

Idk

[rancid mural]

do u have any guess

[rancid mural]

yeah, its generally looked down upon unless you've exhausted all opportunities

[minor pecan]

No idea

[rancid mural]

so i want a chance to prove that i did

[sand iris]

Is the RD deadline for letters of recommendation January 1?

[minor pecan]

No

[rancid mural]

prolly not

u normally have like

[minor pecan]

Usually a few days more

[rancid mural]

a 1-2 week grace period

after deadline

[minor pecan]

both

[rancid mural]

just make sure its in quite fast

[sand iris]

I am wondering because I will not be able to talk to my teachers until January 8

[rancid mural]

harvard puts snob juice in the water and thats how they make their graduates wealthy

[minor pecan]

They are already wealthy before graduating

[rancid mural]

r u wealthy

arent u fgli 💀

[minor pecan]

well

I can’t say

[late zenith]

170k avg household income

[bitter path]

i mean my education system is weird and I am also a victim of human rights violation and that's what I spoke about in my essays and stuff so maybe they just wanna know more? (that's what I am hoping for)

[sand iris]

You've got it all backwards, it's A2C putting shit in the water

[rancid mural]

a2c sneaking across the world putting shit in the water 💀

[minor pecan]

Huh

[rancid mural]

ok lets not 💀

[minor pecan]

I’m chill in person

[late zenith]

??

bruh thats so uncalled 😭

[bitter path]

he pisses off sm cuz that mf made me spend so much to actually get other parts of my app reviewed

[late zenith]

thats a good thing

[minor pecan]

is that not a good thing

[late zenith]

[bitter path]

no, could've used that money to book myself a trip to morocco or sum

[late zenith]

[bitter path]

do you just bring all the bottled up rage in here?

[late zenith]

[minor pecan]

no, that’s what my girlfriend is for

[late zenith]

🧢

[minor pecan]

jk jk I would never

[late zenith]

poor attempt at humor

[minor pecan]

😐

Go finish your HYPSM apps bro

[late zenith]

im working thru yale and harv is next

then princeton

[minor pecan]

because that’s all you talk about

[late zenith]

??

noi odnt

cuz im not getting in any

[minor pecan]

[late zenith]

unhooked applicant

[cedar salmon]

skill issue

[minor pecan]

😵‍💫

[cedar salmon]

simply give yourself hooks

[minor pecan]

holy true

[late zenith]

i have tried

[sand iris]

I literally only have one hook and it's barely even a hook

[late zenith]

but im not stooping that low

a man has morals

[minor pecan]

🤔

[late zenith]

i cant just give myself diversity points

im overrepresented

[minor pecan]

unlucky

[cedar salmon]

yeah you can

you just need to break out of the hapless a2c mindset

[minor pecan]

You can

plus idk if we should even be discussing this

[cedar salmon]

i wasnt talking about kace or being trans just to clarify

[rich wren]

fr??

[bitter path]

tbh now that I think about it one of my friend said they are asexual on their oxford application and still got rejected (ik ox doesnt care)

[rich wren]

You should not be discussing this.

lmao yall need to remember server rules

[minor pecan]

Sorry Michelle Obama

[cedar salmon]

apologies mrs obama but the server rules can suck my server balls

[sand iris]

Should I mention in the roommate essay that I listened to almost 21,000 minutes of Bob Dylan music this year

[opal night]

Lets move away from this topic

[opal night]

Crazy

If you feel like it’s important to your identity this

[rich wren]

lol

[opal night]

lol I meant let’s not

[rich wren]

ruby up top

[opal night]

And then move away from this topic

[opal night]

Ty michelle hru doing

[rich wren]

ok

ehhhh 😭

stressed

finals

[sand iris]

Hard to tell whether they'll think I'm insane or that I have good taste

About 50/50

[rich wren]

hru ruby

[opal night]

Real asf dead week is next week

[opal night]

I’d say you’re devotee based on that

[opal night]

Honestly lowkey bad but it’s ok

[rich wren]

ive never seen so many diehard harvard simps😭

on here😭 not a bad thing btw just interesting

[opal night]

Me either

[opal night]

They’re unhinged

[strange wedge]

I school has 50 people

[rich wren]

AO interviews are goated. source: had one

[strange wedge]

That’s so good

[strange wedge]

How long after ur alumni one did the AOs reach out

[opal night]

You had one?

Girl I thought you didn’t apply rea anywhere

[bitter path]

nahh u should be proud of that cuz me on the other hand... 💀 26,878 for Future 💀im embarrassed

[lofty depot]

By when can I expect a reply from Harvard if I emailed them today?

please don't say 45 days 💀

[minor pecan]

44 days

[opal night]

Never

[lofty depot]

no way

I wanted one by tomorrow

[minor pecan]

harvard just like me

[opal night]

Idk you’ll probably get on Monday/Tuesday

They’re prob very busy

[lofty depot]

then I should expect an answer in 44 seconds

[lofty depot]

that's better

is there a theory that an international kid (not US citizen/US/Europe/Canada) who got their harvard interview doesn't bother to join discord/reddit/ or maybe just doesn't know how to use the keyboard or something?

also maybe gatekeeping stuff?

[sick adder]

no way u said average

are u high

the average is super super high

[lofty depot]

average is a term often used for approximation

[sick adder]

r u good

[bitter path]

So many ppl are not going crazy over harvard and just chillin so definitely there are

[cedar salmon]

how is there drama in the harvard channel

[lofty depot]

bruh u need to answer that for urself

[sick adder]

fam the correct term is median

[lofty depot]

ppl must be concerned about u

[sick adder]

average is straight up wrong

[lofty depot]

for one carrying common sense? nah

[sick adder]

average reject behavior tbh

i should stay quiet

[lofty depot]

mean btw

[sick adder]

no way you’re real

you’re actually not a real human

[lofty depot]

[sick adder]

you’re fake bro

they added AI’s on discord to inflate their user base

[lofty depot]

I don't indulge with people using derogatory terms so bye

the mods gotta see this 🙂

[sick adder]

let’s play find the derogatory term 🤡

[minor pecan]

bro’s worse than me

[lofty depot]

[lofty depot]

lmk what college you going to, will definitely tick that off my list

[bitter path]

Mrs luck, fr take ur man’s advice and just forget harvard for a bit

U are actually losing it

[minor pecan]

😐

[lofty depot]

why are you so nice ❤️

[bitter path]

U fr need it girl

But seriously

[sick adder]

ong bro needs to log off and witness some sunlight

bros body forgetting how to absorb vitamin D

[bitter path]

Listen to Luck’s advice and just work on ur RD, it’s getting closer to the deadline

[bitter path]

Jack, my man😩😩 missed u sm john harvard’s step bro

[sick adder]

i miss u too

[bitter path]

How many more buildings u planning on donating??

[sick adder]

[bitter path]

Yk I would’ve never guessed u are a cat guy

[lofty depot]

okie

[bitter path]

Dont forget to name some of them after me

[minor pecan]

how do you know this

[lofty depot]

c'mon everyone knows Luna

[minor pecan]

😐

[bitter path]

You’re the one who sent pics of luna

[bitter path]

Exactly

[minor pecan]

yeah, but you weren't online in chat when i seent them idt

[bitter path]

I have a dog named luna too, at least u have a nice taste 😒

[bitter path]

How do u know I wasn’t online 🤨

[lofty depot]

bet the name wasn't decided by luck

[lofty depot]

now this could be a discussion

[minor pecan]

i just do

[bitter path]

Nah tbh i was just going thru different channels and saw ur kitty cat

[minor pecan]

😐

[radiant sorrel]

Hi

[bitter path]

How much do u bet it was one of his sisters

[bitter path]

Are u the only boy??

[lofty depot]

100 percent

[minor pecan]

yeah

[radiant sorrel]

Is this the channel for applying early or regular decisions?

[bitter path]

That explains ur attitude, deffo a mummy’s boy typa guy

[strange wedge]

Both

[minor pecan]

😐

[radiant sorrel]

Ty

[strange wedge]

How does that make u feel

[strange wedge]

Yeah ofc

[minor pecan]

idk

[radiant sorrel]

What other schools are you guys applying to?

[strange wedge]

Right answer

[minor pecan]

mit

[strange wedge]

Monsters university

[lofty depot]

but wasn't there a whole different theory? The man raised with sisters theory?

[strange wedge]

They gave me a likely so idk

[radiant sorrel]

Lol

This new update is so wack

[bitter path]

I think he must be bipolar, cuz sometimes his nice, raised with sisters personality comes out (only time he is likeable)

but most times it’s his “I am my mother’s only son”

[strange wedge]

I kinda like it

[minor pecan]

bruh

[radiant sorrel]

I am unable to find anything haha

[strange wedge]

What are u on about😭

[minor pecan]

^

[strange wedge]

Idk just like look harder

But ig it’ll take a sec to get used to for sure

[radiant sorrel]

Why is there two 'Lucks'

[strange wedge]

W question

[radiant sorrel]

👍

[bitter path]

There’s a theory that guys that are their mother’s only son are always spoiled, bratty and rude

[strange wedge]

Oh? What if there’s a boy and a girl

Technically you’re still your moms only son

[minor pecan]

that's nothing but a theory

[bitter path]

That’s fine but if u are like the only son amongst so many girls then that’s the case

[strange wedge]

Oh. Yeah I don’t think that’s real 😭

[bitter path]

Tbh even then mother’s mostly favour their sons 💀

[lofty depot]

haha true

[strange wedge]

@minor pecan

Have u taken math 55

[minor pecan]

no, it was too easy so i skipped it

[strange wedge]

Oooh gotchu gotchu

[lofty depot]

bye guys

[strange wedge]

Bye

[radiant sorrel]

You have to be kidding

[lofty depot]

time to touch grass

[strange wedge]

Nah honestly I would too

[strange wedge]

Have fun!

[radiant sorrel]

Isn’t that one of the hardest courses?

[bitter path]

Are u going thru another crisis and actually giving luck’s advice a shot or u just going to sleep? 🤨

[strange wedge]

Lmao yeah

[radiant sorrel]

Good luck

Mrs luck haha

[radiant sorrel]

Are you applying to Harvard?

[lofty depot]

u definitely don't know luck yet hehe

[strange wedge]

Uh hypothetically

[lofty depot]

thenks

[radiant sorrel]

?

[fiery crag]

for the roommate thing, did you write it like a list or

"dear roomie..."

[radiant sorrel]

Are you two together?

[strange wedge]

Lmao yeah I am. Sorry

[radiant sorrel]

Oh cool! What do you want to do?

[strange wedge]

Im thinking biology but I applied mainly because of their dual degree program with Berklee college of music

[lofty depot]

um tbh just sleeping bestie

[radiant sorrel]

Nice good luck

I applied for something similar xD

[strange wedge]

Thank you!

[strange wedge]

New England conservatory ?

[radiant sorrel]

I meant my major is somewhat similar

[lofty depot]

yup we are! @minor pecan will be here soon to say no, just don't trust him ok? 😉

[radiant sorrel]

I don’t do music haha

[strange wedge]

Ooooh ok

[radiant sorrel]

Got it xD good night

[lofty depot]

u definitely sound harvard material! Good luck 🙂

[radiant sorrel]

Are you doing any regular decisions graham?

[radiant sorrel]

😂 we’ll see

[strange wedge]

Yeah!

A lot of Boston schools

Plus NYU

[radiant sorrel]

Oh cool, I’m doing Brown, Yale, and a few others

[strange wedge]

Funnn

[radiant sorrel]

Are you from Boston?

Or do you just like the area

[strange wedge]

Indeed

[radiant sorrel]

Oh ok makes sense

[strange wedge]

I’m like 30 mins away

Hbu?

[radiant sorrel]

[bitter path]

[radiant sorrel]

[lofty depot]

[radiant sorrel]

Cheer him up haha

[lofty depot]

general advice for as long as you're on this chat 🙂

[radiant sorrel]

..

[lofty depot]

more like mission impossible

[bitter path]

If she gets in, are u gonna send her that double legacy card thingy?

[radiant sorrel]

🤣

[radiant sorrel]

I’m sorry what lol

I need to read the lore behind this

[lofty depot]

u find us so interesting bruh

[lofty depot]

wait what is a double legacy card thingy bestie?

💀

[radiant sorrel]

WHAT 💀💀

[lofty depot]

makes sense now

[jolly lichen]

sometimes yes

I mean technically alumni interviews have deadlines but... in practice those are often violated

[bitter path]

The context behind as to why he sent that: I told him to find himself a rich gf that goes to harvard and he is gonna be sorted for life

[radiant sorrel]

Fair point

[lofty depot]

did u just change context lmao

[bitter path]

I- where did my message go?!

[radiant sorrel]

It was deleted

[bitter path]

No, that’s literally the context, that’s what he replied with

[radiant sorrel]

by you or moderator

[bitter path]

Kmt

[minor pecan]

[lofty depot]

[small nacelle]

o that's great!

[rancid mural]

Is berg better or sum

[small nacelle]

yea it's prettier

[minor pecan]

no, it's argubaly the worst in terms of food quality

[bitter path]

Isnt berg food nasty?

[minor pecan]

it is edible

[rancid mural]

Luck which one has the best chicken nuggets and French fries

[minor pecan]

and sometimes good

none of them have chicken nuggets

[rancid mural]

WHAT

NOOOO

[minor pecan]

all of them have the same meals

[bitter path]

Were u fr when u said u only get ice cream on a sunday and that’s it??

[rancid mural]

Do they have chicken tenders

[minor pecan]

not every day

[lofty depot]

how will I meet u then

[rancid mural]

[minor pecan]

[rancid mural]

[minor pecan]

[radiant sorrel]

Same

I love chicken tenders

[lofty depot]

[minor pecan]

they have chicken every day

at least some form of it

[radiant sorrel]

Oh ok

[rancid mural]

Being aspie makes it so hard for me to try new food, im actually gonna die in college 💀

[minor pecan]

what's that

[bitter path]

U are the one who made an older guy ur man 🤷‍♀️

[rancid mural]

Aspergers syndrome

[minor pecan]

hmmge never heard of it

but rip

[bitter path]

Luck can u send us ur meals cuz i fr gotta see how bad the food is

[radiant sorrel]

A friend of mine has this I think

She always brings home lunch

[minor pecan]

it's generally ok

[storm condor]

helloo

[lofty depot]

ugh mb! I'll find someone new on campus ig

[rancid mural]

Speaking in 2000s terms, its autism but without a cognitive or intellectual deficit, usually a heightened one

Now its all called ASD and they just specify ur intelligence

[storm condor]

what u talking about

[rancid mural]

Asperger's

[storm condor]

oh

😭

[cedar salmon]

whats the trade off

[rancid mural]

I trade being able to go to big assemblies and eat a variety of foods for being smart

A lot of it is social and sensory

[bitter path]

Does a picky eater fall under this umbrella??

[rancid mural]

Only being a picky eater is not autism 💀

[storm condor]

me

[rich wren]

is harvard even fun

seems pretty mid tbh

[rancid mural]

But a lot of autsitic ppl r picky eaters

Cus of senses

I tried rice and couldnt eat for a day 💀

[minor pecan]

i think the people really make it what it is

[cedar salmon]

may i ask what in particular makes it hard for you to try new food

[minor pecan]

if you find good friends then yeah it's fun

[bitter path]

I was looking it up on tiktok and tbh yale actually seems way better in terms of social life but only luck can give us the inside tea

[rancid mural]

The textures cause smth in my beain to fire the fear neurotransmitters

[lofty depot]

ik a girl who wrote about her food allergies and ended up at harvard. W

[rich wren]

idk ive heard of some miserable experiences

[minor pecan]

like what

[radiant sorrel]

I agree with this

[rancid mural]

Im not sure why but if i eat smth w a weird texture, it makes me feel like its poison

[radiant sorrel]

The students make the college not the college making the students

[rancid mural]

Its smth i wanna research as a psychologist though

[cedar salmon]

huh

thanks for the insight

[storm condor]

it can be fixed tho

slightly

improved

[rancid mural]

I dont eat sauces/condiments either 💀

[rich wren]

kace will not get into harvard

[radiant sorrel]

[rancid mural]

🤨

[radiant sorrel]

[rancid mural]

[radiant sorrel]

Funny enough his sat wasn’t great nor was his gpa,

[radiant sorrel]

Was he test optional?

[storm condor]

how do u get recruited

[radiant sorrel]

Might be too late

[storm condor]

and if so are national medals in rowing e.g good enough or do u need international medals

and also is it like another pool of applicants?

like ure mostly being based on the athletic cretirias and not academic that much or smth

[radiant sorrel]

I’m not sure

I think athletes have a different pool

But you should have done this much much earlier

Not when there is 1 week left 💀

[storm condor]

yeah lol ofc

decision is out

💀

[late zenith]

I ended up just writing about hosa

And being the first person to go to internationals in a decade

[radiant sorrel]

Gotchu

[jolly lichen]

ayy thank you thank you

love to see a fellow atla lover

[strange wedge]

Fa sureeee

[minor pecan]

yale

[rancid mural]

tell harvard to let all of a2c into harvard

[strange wedge]

You already knowww

[jolly lichen]

I graduated last year

[strange wedge]

That would actually be laughable

[radiant sorrel]

Oh nice

[jolly lichen]

I'd burn my diploma before that

[rancid mural]

it would become hell

[radiant sorrel]

What do you do now?

[rancid mural]

next week needs to hurry the fuck up

[true wharf]

this school is worse than MIT. sorry i said it

[strange wedge]

Do u know based off of your harvard knowledge, how long after alumni interviews AO interviews get sent out

[minor pecan]

[strange wedge]

Lmfao mit people stink

[rancid mural]

no telling

[radiant sorrel]

Depends on what you’re doing

[strange wedge]

Hmm ok

[jolly lichen]

it's not really a fixed time point, they're both kinda rolling processes

[rancid mural]

and ur simping for neither

[strange wedge]

Ah gotchu. Good to know

[true wharf]

real im just here to rile the tryhards up for a minute

[minor pecan]

i like you

[rancid mural]

that's luck's job

[strange wedge]

U think all harvard applicants are try hards ?

[rancid mural]

most are

[radiant sorrel]

The a2c once are tbf

Ones

[true wharf]

no most of them are mid in comparison to the MIT applicants, like i just said MIT's better

[radiant sorrel]

and in general too I would say so

[strange wedge]

Ok ok ig

[rancid mural]

why r there different versions of luck

[strange wedge]

At least we shower 💀

[true wharf]

in the tears of the working class. you will pay for your sins of capitalism

[minor pecan]

some other random changed their name

[strange wedge]

Cute!

[bitter path]

grad school or harvard college? I fr thought u were a boomer on discord 💀

[rancid mural]

💀

[minor pecan]

he is a boomer but college

[rancid mural]

he is like 22

😭

[radiant sorrel]

[jolly lichen]

college but I also did AB/SM, if you know what that is

[minor pecan]

🤓

[bitter path]

told u to change ur name into luck the second (Luck II)

[rancid mural]

oh damn i didnt know harvard has that

[minor pecan]

only for select concentrations

[rancid mural]

ah ic

let me check for psych

[strange wedge]

Was the Harvard Berkelee dual degree program a thing when u were there

[radiant sorrel]

I like this one better

[strange wedge]

Wait actually yea

Cuz u graduated last year nvm

[minor pecan]

idt so

it's mostly for stem concentrations

[jolly lichen]

there's no psych

[bitter path]

is that the masters program? Like the one where u get ur bachelors and masters together??

[rancid mural]

no psych masters?

sad

[jolly lichen]

theres also nelc and mes and reeca

[jolly lichen]

yea

[bitter path]

so u graduated in 3 yrs right?

[minor pecan]

it's 4+0

grad in 4

[bitter path]

i swear for that program u get ur bachelors by 3rd yr

[minor pecan]

oh

[bitter path]

and do ur masters for the 4th

[jolly lichen]

no

you graduate with both at the same time

because you aren't required to be done with your AB until the end of the 4th yr

[rancid mural]

mad there's no psych one ngl

that wouldve been cool

but ig i'll be a normie

[jolly lichen]

what does one do with a psych masters anyway

[minor pecan]

🗣️

[rancid mural]

use it to get a phd 💀

[bitter path]

💀

[jolly lichen]

like if your goal is to apply for phds, you should just take grad classes anyway

and once you get the PhD the AM is irrelevant

[rancid mural]

yeah i want phd

[jolly lichen]

like

[rancid mural]

idk how grad school works

[jolly lichen]

the degree is irrelevant for phd apps because they see your transcriot

and taking the classes is what matrers

[rancid mural]

i thought getting masters made ur phd time shorter

[jolly lichen]

the name on your degree is worthless

[jolly lichen]

not at most top phds

[minor pecan]

you're going to sell out and switch to consulting by end of freshman year, i dont know why youre worrying about all of this

[rancid mural]

i see

[jolly lichen]

they'll make you retake courses anyway

[radiant sorrel]

💀

[rancid mural]

ah ok

[jolly lichen]

ye

[rancid mural]

so masters is essentially useless for psych

[jolly lichen]

for the most part, the SM is not useful

[rancid mural]

and its best to just go straight into phd

[jolly lichen]

yeah

[bitter path]

What does one do with a psychology phd?

[radiant sorrel]

Do people actually sell out like that

[jolly lichen]

I'm general if you're applying to phds masters are not useful

[rancid mural]

clinical psychology or psychological research

[jolly lichen]

American phds anyway

[bitter path]

Are u going into consulting??

[radiant sorrel]

isn’t there any rules against switching your major lol

[jolly lichen]

UK and other phds are different

[minor pecan]

not really

[rancid mural]

i could be a therapist or do research (which is what i plan on)

[minor pecan]

no

[rancid mural]

research is smth i love

[minor pecan]

(as of now no)

[jolly lichen]

sometimes it takes more than a year but often people get discouraged or disillusioned with academia/government/nonprofit work and turn to industry, yes

[radiant sorrel]

[jolly lichen]

it be how it do

(I'm one of them)

[radiant sorrel]

🤣

[rancid mural]

💀

i wish i wasnt first gen and understood how college worked cus this shit is confusing

[minor pecan]

google

[rancid mural]

google not helpful though

[bitter path]

how does phds work in america?? here in the UK u need to look for funding and do ur phd on stuff the uni is offering

[minor pecan]

well, good thing u joined a cursed server

[rancid mural]

questbridge led me to a2c

[jolly lichen]

that's what a2c is for

[jolly lichen]

in the US, generally if you are admitted for a (top STEM) PhD, the offer guarantees funding

[bitter path]

U can research whatever?

[jolly lichen]

generally (but not always) you are not admitted to work with a particular advisor

there's like a ~2 year period where you can work with different faculty before committing to one for your thesis

[radiant sorrel]

do you do consulting abstract?

[rancid mural]

i actually find my consultant so helpful 💀

so much shit i had no idea about

until then

[bitter path]

Are u planning on doing a phd??

[radiant sorrel]

You have a consultant? For college?

[rancid mural]

ye

[jolly lichen]

no, I'm in finance

[jolly lichen]

maybe eventually? I applied to phds actually and I visited some but decided not to go

[bitter path]

IB??

[viscid pike]

w pfp

[jolly lichen]

Quant finance

[jolly lichen]

ty ty

[bitter path]

Send a pic of ur card, back and front pls 🫶 😘

[rancid mural]

yes pls

i need money gimme money

[jolly lichen]

🥱

[rancid mural]

money

donate to the poor (me)

@bitter path tf r u typing

[bitter path]

Nothing? Why??

[bitter path]

Nah man I aint kidding

[rancid mural]

it keeps popping up that ur typing

its been doing that for 10 mins

[bitter path]

I- i just typed something and left it instead of sending it

Not sure why it’s showing why im typing

[bitter path]

I used to work as a market researcher at Citi and would sometimes work closely with quant analysts… the amount of money u guys get in bonuses is acc mad 😞

[jolly lichen]

ahhh.... the bonuses are higher on the buy side

[radiant sorrel]

How does one get to that level?

Heard those places only recruit from top schools like mit harvard princeton

[small nacelle]

guys 6 days left 😭

[radiant sorrel]

[small nacelle]

Luck jr?!?!!?

[radiant sorrel]

Hi

[small nacelle]

lmaoo

[radiant sorrel]

Hopping on the trend

Lol

[small nacelle]

Loll

[strange wedge]

@minor pecan did u get in early or reg

[small nacelle]

they got in early if you're curious before their response

it's on the last years chat

[jolly lichen]

not entirely true but yeah it's very biased

[jolly lichen]

also wut market researcher in HS?

what's that involve

like.... in some sense I'd call myself a market researcher

[bitter path]

I went a lil different route, there’s this thing called apprenticeship here in the UK, where u work full time as well as study

U can do apprenticeships as soon as u finish ur first set of national exams which we sit at 16

However most places want u to complete ur second set of national exams that u sit at 18 but Citi took ppl in from 16

[radiant sorrel]

He got in early I believe

I read the thread from last yr lol

[bitter path]

How long u planning on staying on the sell side? Most ppl move to buy side literally after 4-6 yrs cuz sell side gets so boring

Are u BO or MO??

[strange wedge]

Oooh www

[strange wedge]

Lmao how’d you find that

[bitter path]

Just go on harvard rea from last yr

[radiant sorrel]

Search up harvard rea in threads

[strange wedge]

Gotchu gotchu

[radiant sorrel]

You can see the threads from last year

[rancid mural]

he's also said it here multiple times 💀

[ashen carbon]

bruh

go have a freshman experience or smth

[rancid mural]

i am not in college

[ashen carbon]

no i mean luck

is comping season done

[strange wedge]

I’m sorry I don’t live here😭

Dude reading last years threads just made me feel so nervous and excited all In one

[jolly lichen]

I'm on buy side but... forever? lol

I'm FO research

[bitter path]

HUHHH?!?!

[bitter path]

BUY, FO RESEARCH as a grad?! Are u god or what

Honestly, like honestly honestly, how fat is ur bank account currently

[jolly lichen]

most prop shops in the US hire mostly undergrads

[minor pecan]

he is

can confirm

[minor pecan]

what

[minor pecan]

yeah, ended a while ago lol but will start again for next sem soon

[bitter path]

That must be nice cuz I believe here in the UK most places ask for some sell experience

Most undergrads are in the back office

[minor pecan]

with a bit of luck, i'll be the next abnon in a few years

(i don't know how to do math)

[bitter path]

He is gonna be a millionaire by then

[bitter path]

Arent u in engineering?

[jolly lichen]

learn stats I wish I knew more stats

[bitter path]

Also how come switched from premed to engineering?

[minor pecan]

currently am-cs (?) but this may change

[minor pecan]

i was never premed

that was just a joke

i can't see a world in which i dedicate that many years to schooling

[minor pecan]

rumors are that it's all just stat110

at least the interview stage

[jolly lichen]

some 111, some 139

depends where you interview

maybe some cs 181

but I wish I knew like 171 and 210 and 211 and stuff

just more stat everywhere

[minor pecan]

i see

i'll consider this going forward, though i think i'm more interested in the qswe side of things (but i have no in-depth knowledge of either so idk)

SWE @ Two Sigma sounds hot as fuck

🔥

[jolly lichen]

why

I mean

they kinda are on fire rn

[jolly lichen]

[minor pecan]

[bitter path]

If u somehow end up at jane street, citadel or any similar firm

Just so yk, I can bark

U gonna need a dog to guard ur mansion and i’ll do it happily 🧎‍♀️

[pulsar pond]
