Harvard University (2023-2024)

[pulsar pond]

ok maybe I didn't explain it clear

so they send you interview requests in early Nov

[strange wedge]

Wait…wouldn’t they have to like take a lil peak?

[minor pecan]

someone got an interview request before the deadline to apply

so I doubt it

[pulsar pond]

what I mean is before your interview is done AOs won't start reviewing ur app.....?

[strange wedge]

Fair

[pulsar pond]

ok I'm not really sure that's what I've heard

[strange wedge]

Why’d they take so long for me then

[pulsar pond]

REA kids also get interviews right

[minor pecan]

Idk, perhaps they just don’t like you

jkjk

[strange wedge]

U need tape on ur mouth

[pulsar pond]

I don't think time matters

[minor pecan]

It doesn’t matter when you get one as long as you get one

[pulsar pond]

according to a certain very savage somebody

[strange wedge]

Real

[minor pecan]

[pulsar pond]

brother

interviews are given according to availability

really it doesn't matter a big ton

[minor pecan]

Did you get an interview? @placid ember

[vague hemlock]

bro what my English teacher would write a horrible ps i didn't even ask her to review it cuz i don't trust her English💀

[pulsar pond]

but a good interview will help you out certainly

[minor pecan]

ok then

what is the argument for

[pulsar pond]

yeah I mean then don't worry too much

you're gonna be ok

[vague hemlock]

Ok i will accept this to some extent but also no😭

Me lol

[minor pecan]

I didn’t get interviews for half the schools I applied to

[pulsar pond]

my English teacher keeps telling me to make things more dramatic

he told me to lie

I was like no

[minor pecan]

and I still got into those schools

[pulsar pond]

I'm not doing that

[minor pecan]

so if the AOs did read my app according to your theory

shouldn’t I have gotten a request

as I’m literally from NYC

Nah, I got interview for harvard rea

I’m talking about my rd schools

nobody knows

it’s subjective

You’ll find out next week regardless

Just touch grass or something

I don’t see why it wouldn’t be

but harvard hasn’t confirmed it themselves

[errant phoenix]

Where'd u get in

[minor pecan]

yet

[minor pecan]

Couple of ivies

[bitter path]

Luck did u expect to get in for REA? Or did u assume u were gonna be deferred??

[minor pecan]

I expected to get in to be completely honest

i didn’t know about the super high defer rate

until after I had gotten in

[bitter path]

U gotta read ur file and tell us the tea

[minor pecan]

my shit’s pretty mid

nobody knows

it’s subjective

you’ll find out next week

[bitter path]

U keep saying that but there must’ve been something that helped u the most

[errant phoenix]

I dont even care anymore lol if i get in i get in

[minor pecan]

Yeah I think it was essays

But I will find out once I read my file soon

I just want to see my rating scores

[bitter path]

Tell us ur AO comments

I always find them the most interesting

[minor pecan]

ok

just Venmo me like $20

[viscid pike]

What major r u?

[minor pecan]

Native American studies and public policy

[mossy mortar]

yeah pretty subjective

[bitter path]

Monopoly money? I gotchu 🤞

[mossy mortar]

no

it’s not that objective

[minor pecan]

hate mfs who delete messages

[mossy mortar]

rsi isn’t in itself indicative of any specific achievement

[tropic marlin]

my interviewer reached out to me on the tues of break and said it must be completed by that Sunday 😭

[tropic marlin]

although rsi does look impressive, you need to be impressive to get in. soooo correlation ≠ causation 🤓

[vague hemlock]

damn really

I thought you were an engineering guy

[minor pecan]

Changed to humanities

Engineering was too hard

[bitter path]

Does he comes across as someone who would be in Native American studies 💀

[mossy mortar]

yeah i mean the rsi kids i know r good

but not in the way you’d think usually

[noble yoke]

I heard you get interviews after AO’s review cuz sometimes they want more info about u

[mossy mortar]

most go to stanf mit or harv

[tropic marlin]

like smart/intellectually mature? I know a few too, and while a couple have insane stats, most are very very knowledgeable in their area

[minor pecan]

I think most people get interviews in the REA round

I think there are only like 3 people here who haven’t gotten an interview

[noble yoke]

My region said most they lack enough alumi to give most people interviews

[pulsar pond]

I don't know

[tropic marlin]

my request was sent at the very end of Nov + it seemed urgent

i feel like they prob wanted more info

[pulsar pond]

that could be a good sign

[minor pecan]

Yes, alumni have a deadline

[pulsar pond]

I think there's probably two batches of ppl

one batch are those who say they want an interview

[tropic marlin]

they told me 5 days before the deadline and it was DURING the thanksgiving holiday

[pulsar pond]

and comes from a place that has available alumni interviewers

[reef forge]

Well not anymore

[pulsar pond]

the second is probably AOs want to know more abt u

[minor pecan]

Gotta do what you gotta do to meet the deadline

[pulsar pond]

or if u have sth questionable in ur app

[rancid mural]

what

[pulsar pond]

it's just a theory

[rancid mural]

there is no place to indicate that lmao

[pulsar pond]

pls don't trash on me

[rancid mural]

how would they know if u want an interview 💀

[pulsar pond]

you could tick the box on ur common app

[rancid mural]

there is no box

[minor pecan]

harvard doesn't have one iirc

[pulsar pond]

do you want to be engaged in an alumni conversation

[rancid mural]

ur thinking of princeton and penn

[errant phoenix]

i know penn has that, but idt harvard does

[rancid mural]

harvard does not have one

[pulsar pond]

I def checked that box please

[rancid mural]

u did not

[noble yoke]

this is what was said in the lawsuit:

1. An applicant for whom the committee needs more information to reach a decision please have interview report in as soon as possible.
   2.An applicant for whom more information would be very helpful during our deliberations - please have interview report in by the sub-committee deadline.
2. Please have interview report in by December 1 (EA) or March 1 (RA).
   4.Based on the materials currently available, the committee needs no additional information at this time.

[pulsar pond]

whatever you say

[noble yoke]

4 possible ways for interviews

[rancid mural]

go look at ur common app file lmfao

it is not there

[pulsar pond]

ok I'm sorry

don't shit on me for confusing shit

[errant phoenix]

he's not?

[noble yoke]

he is not

[minor pecan]

are we supposed to say you're right and it's there and we're blind and we're sorry

[vague hemlock]

is a 1540 sat (770/770) for an asian male in cs low lol

[pulsar pond]

no I'm just saying c

calm down

[minor pecan]

are you an asian male in cs

[errant phoenix]

no

[tropic marlin]

the math is awful—go test optional /s

[vague hemlock]

no but someone i dislike is

[rancid mural]

if im deferred harvard and dont get a better math score from december i may go T/O for my other schools

im not sure

[minor pecan]

it's not low

[vague hemlock]

plus it's a superscore

[vague hemlock]

:(

[noble yoke]

I submitted my 1500 sat

Thats low for harvard right

[vague hemlock]

if only he reported his real grades so he wouldn't meet the academic cutoff

[bitter path]

For who’s downfall u praying?

[tropic marlin]

i submitted a 1540 superscore (740 EBRW, 800 M)

[rancid mural]

mines probably low for harvard (33 act)

[minor pecan]

post-TO it is lowish

[vague hemlock]

a friend ish

[noble yoke]

what’s post TO

[minor pecan]

after test optional policy

[rancid mural]

after covid basically

[mossy mortar]

1540 is fine imo

for any circumstance

they aren’t looking that hard

[obtuse pine]

no interview gang ✊

[noble yoke]

Same

[minor pecan]

i had a 1540 fwiw

[rancid mural]

i submitted my 33 cus all my scores were super high except math and my major only needs 1 math

[noble yoke]

Wait can harvard see if your low income

[rancid mural]

if u say it yeah

[noble yoke]

I signed the fee wavier thing

[rancid mural]

then ues

[noble yoke]

And my counselor submited it so can they see that

[rancid mural]

it doesnt matter

[bitter path]

If someone doesn’t meet the academic benchmark, is their file still gonna be read?

[rancid mural]

they r need blind meaning u wont be rejected for being poor lol

[rancid mural]

depends on how bad lmao

wdym by academic benchmark

[bitter path]

I swear someone in here had a 1400 or sum and they submitted it

[vague hemlock]

rip

[rancid mural]

1400 is low for harvatd but its not like its an autoreject lmao

[minor pecan]

hope they cured cancer

[bitter path]

I swear u have to meet a threshold to even get ur file read

[rancid mural]

you'd need extenuating circumstances

[rancid mural]

they wouldnt autoreject a 1400

[minor pecan]

1400 is... well below the 25th percentile even before covid

[pulsar pond]

what is the academic threshold at Harvard

[noble yoke]

did you guys submit a additonal rec letter?

[rancid mural]

i'd say probably 1300+ and 3.5+ gets read

[minor pecan]

why are there so many mfs in this channel now

😐

[pulsar pond]

I did

[minor pecan]

you're smoking

[pseudo hawk]

true

[pulsar pond]

because 5 days before submitted I realized I needed a humanities teacher to write me a rec

[pseudo hawk]

I have a friend who is a sophomore at Hahvahd rn and got a 1370

[minor pecan]

nobody reading a 1310 dawg

[minor pecan]

test optional?

[pseudo hawk]

ofc

[minor pecan]

yeah

[pseudo hawk]

🤑

[minor pecan]

gg

[pulsar pond]

so I used up my optional space for that because I have 2 biology teacher recs

[rancid mural]

idk if i should do t/o for other schools

[bitter path]

But once in college, how the hell do they manage to keep up?

[rancid mural]

my major literally only needs stats 💀

[minor pecan]

i think you should just get good

[noble yoke]

Wait did u get a interview

[rancid mural]

wdym

[minor pecan]

and then submit

[pulsar pond]

yes

[pseudo hawk]

your sat doesn't matter in college?

[rancid mural]

sat doesnt correlate w how well u handle classes lmao

[pseudo hawk]

^

[rancid mural]

ppl have splits all the time

[minor pecan]

mit begs to differ

[bitter path]

Fair enough

[rancid mural]

mit is just a math centric school

[pulsar pond]

I get a full IB predicted score but yet my SAT score says otherwise

[rancid mural]

they love math

[pulsar pond]

whatever

[mossy mortar]

i think the sat is significantly easier than courses at any ivy/mit lol

[pulsar pond]

so SAT doesn't really reflect your academic capability

[mossy mortar]

and it should be expected to be able to do basic algebra

[pulsar pond]

your academic capability is certainly not just math and English

[mossy mortar]

and reading comprehension

[rancid mural]

they are fundamentally different

[minor pecan]

if you can't do algebra/geometry then maybe it does

[mossy mortar]

yeah lol

[minor pecan]

to some extent

[pseudo hawk]

also I think the fact that they survived a year at harvard is a testiment to their abilities. Your SAT isn't everything

[pulsar pond]

it does not completely reflect your capabilities

[rancid mural]

the time constraints are often the issue for ppl

[mossy mortar]

there are baseline expectations

[minor pecan]

so skill issue

[bitter path]

Mit is the closest thing to the british system, the unis here believe if u dont have the right stats u aint gonna be able to keep up with ur peers and the course load

[noble yoke]

my reading was horrible on the sat

[rancid mural]

my issue w math is that i suck at math and dont need math

[pseudo hawk]

Well american unis only care about your dolla dolla

[minor pecan]

dawg it's algebra 2

[rancid mural]

at the time of taking i didnt have alg 2 yet

[minor pecan]

[pulsar pond]

what do you learn in algebra

[minor pecan]

idek what im reading anymore

[pulsar pond]

we only have math

[rancid mural]

what

[pulsar pond]

just math

[bitter path]

Ong 💀

[rancid mural]

like variables and stuff

idk how to explain

[minor pecan]

3x + 2 = 6 @pulsar pond

[pseudo hawk]

@minor pecan what's your intended major

[pulsar pond]

all our algebra geometry calculus whatever it's all mushed up into one math course

so

[minor pecan]

native american studies and public policy

[rancid mural]

i think i did a lot better on act math today now that i have had algebra 2, college algebra, and precal

[minor pecan]

maybe gov or econ

[pseudo hawk]

ECON MENTIONED

[pulsar pond]

I just don't know what they teach when you split up math into algebra geometry and trigonometry separately?

[bitter path]

Ur clown ass fr gotta stop confusing ppl

[pseudo hawk]

🤑 🤑 🤑

[pulsar pond]

do you understand what I mean

[rancid mural]

i just need a 30+

[pulsar pond]

culture issue

[rancid mural]

and i am chillin

[minor pecan]

💰

[noble yoke]

Harvard’s engineering sucks right

[pseudo hawk]

just go to mit

[minor pecan]

pretty ass yeah

[pseudo hawk]

its literally across the way

[rancid mural]

since harvard is liberal artsy yeah

[errant phoenix]

bro the sat is so easy conceptually

[minor pecan]

compared to other reputable schools it's lacking

[noble yoke]

Ya I put Econ, gov, and then mechanical engineering

[bitter path]

Tbh as far as ik most parts of the world follow this system, u take math and u get taught everything in it

[rancid mural]

math education is bad in alabama

[errant phoenix]

its a psyop convincing ppl the sat is hard when its rlly not

[minor pecan]

i think there's a total of 130 engineering majors in the entire school

[rancid mural]

everything is bad in Alabama actually

[errant phoenix]

see ur context helps u

[pulsar pond]

yeah ikr

[errant phoenix]

god knows what goes on in alabama

[pulsar pond]

so I just get confused about the American system

like why

[pseudo hawk]

what specifically for econ do you plan on doing? i'm thinking like m&a in the private sector

[rancid mural]

my 27 math is the highest in the school

[bitter path]

Wondering if they have classes like ‘mechanics’ ‘statistics’ and etc

[mossy mortar]

yeah compared to college work 😭

[pulsar pond]

statistics definitely

[rancid mural]

im excited for stats next semester ngl

[pulsar pond]

have you seen the Timothee Chalamet video

[noble yoke]

I am not sure. I wanted to do businesses, but harvard doesn’t have a business undergraduate program.

[pulsar pond]

about his statistics class

[rancid mural]

it seems like easier math

[noble yoke]

Stats was toture

[minor pecan]

context prob helps a little but at the end of the day i dont think they really care. a kid with a 1300 at a school with a 1000 avg is still not going to make the cut most likely.

[rancid mural]

like smth i could understand

[noble yoke]

CHI-square

[bitter path]

Stats is such a waste of time yet u cant go without it

[pseudo hawk]

dude

I'm actually so close to failing stats

I can't even lie

[rancid mural]

yeah

[pseudo hawk]

I forgot to turn in my final project

[pulsar pond]

for me in an IB school

[pseudo hawk]

and it TANKED my grade

[pulsar pond]

Stat=aggressively pressing my calculator

[rancid mural]

my other scores r 34, 35, and 36

but math is 27

[pseudo hawk]

true..

[minor pecan]

ye just get good at math and you're set

[pulsar pond]

it is literally the easiest thing in my IB Math AA course

[noble yoke]

The superintendent of my school division’s daughter got into Harvard REA without a interview

[pseudo hawk]

all that calculator mashing just to be like "well, this MIGHT be statistically significant, idk."

[noble yoke]

i didn’t know that was possible

[rancid mural]

if ur domestic it happens but is rare

[minor pecan]

y'all some real mfs

just wanted to put that out there

[pseudo hawk]

Nicest thing I've seen you say

[bitter path]

I used to think stats was just common sense hence never revised for it 💀 until we had a test and i was like what the fuck am i supposed to do

[rancid mural]

im considering ed2 to hopkins if im deferred but also ed2 doesnt give a boost

so fuck that

[pseudo hawk]

Just shoot ur shot anyways?

What's the harm

[rancid mural]

imma just rd

[minor pecan]

shoot your shot and then get shot

[rancid mural]

in balitmore

[noble yoke]

Wait is it bad to put another school’s award on the honors section

[pseudo hawk]

😵 🔫

[rancid mural]

in all seriousness i have a friend at JHU and thats why i considered it for ed2

jhu just has a vibe

[pulsar pond]

I'm already thinking about the mix feelings I'd feel if I apply to JHU

[rancid mural]

a vibe of weird ppl

and im one of those

[minor pecan]

we can tell

[pulsar pond]

if harvard rejects or defers me

[rancid mural]

they got into jhu w a 32 so theres hope for me 💀

[minor pecan]

jhu is a safety in this economy

that's something my sister would say

[rancid mural]

imma just apply to 8 schools on common app rd and try to forget about it for 3 months

[minor pecan]

apply all ivies and call it a season

[rancid mural]

idk how im gonna wait when 1 month was alrdy a pain 💀

[mossy mortar]

SO TRUE

[bitter path]

Arent u gonna graduate early? U will probably forget about it in the midst of everything unless u are individual who overthinks

[rancid mural]

i graduate in may

but i will have a lot pf classes next semester yeah

4 dual enrollment + 3 healthcare certification exams to study for

[bitter path]

When is the rest of ur cohort supposed to graduate??

[rancid mural]

its difficult to explain but since my school only has 4 APs, i chose to do dual enrollment instead

and since DE is shorter

i had to graduate 1 year early

i was previously co 25

[bitter path]

Damn how old are u currently, 16/17??

[rancid mural]

17

was 16 in august

[minor pecan]

boomer

[vague hemlock]

Only Harvard and Princeton students would say this😭

[bronze swan]

Lmao JHU blacklisted my school so I have a better shot at Harvard and MIT

[uncut canyon]

hey hey hey

[obtuse pine]

How does this even happen

people breaking ed?

[strange wedge]

Me toooo

[obtuse pine]

bruh I turned 18 in aug

[pulsar pond]

so there's both 05s and 06s applying to Harvard this cycle

[strange wedge]

I’m an 07

I’m lying…that would be crazy

[pulsar pond]

I mean i totally see juniors applying to harvard

that's possible

[strange wedge]

Wwww. I turned 17

[pulsar pond]

so 05, 06, 07s

there's a weird thing actually

[minor pecan]

what

[pulsar pond]

I've been to a Korean high school

their seniors that graduated last year was born in 04

they graduated in Feb this year

looked a bit weird to me since people here usually graduate when they're 18(unless you stayed behind for a year which also happens)

I guess this is just probably because the Korean school year system is very weird

[rancid mural]

yeah its just dif education systems

a lot of dif ages apply

[honest finch]

im 07 😅

[rancid mural]

i'd say 16-21 are most common

[pulsar pond]

yep diversity secured

[honest finch]

yeahh like they start school at age 8

and ur 1 as soon as ur born

[pulsar pond]

they ditched that system this year?

no more Korean age just international

I mean you can't ban this from the culture

[rancid mural]

why arent we born 9 months old

[pulsar pond]

but governmentally speaking it got abolished

[pulsar pond]

technically correct, but that's not a full number

[pulsar pond]

didn't know this tho

[pulsar pond]

you could be 0.75 years old

[late zenith]

How??

[minor pecan]

something just felt right

[late zenith]

Mr isef finalist in chat

[late zenith]

Wtf that even mean

[uncut canyon]

because its nine months from the last menstrual period not since insemination so technically youre like more like 10 months old or 9.5 months old but also age just starts at birth cool facts

[opal night]

I need to see how many of y’all get in

[ashen carbon]

hmm

[minor pecan]

at least one of the luck’s will get in

[ashen carbon]

is there a way to define biological age that isn’t predicated on customs

[minor pecan]

idk, something just felt right

[ashen carbon]

lmfao statistically

[opal night]

Everyone is going to change their name to luck

[opal night]

Intuition

[ashen carbon]

on another note

[opal night]

There should be one day

[vague hemlock]

i predict 2

[minor pecan]

Nah, at least 2

prob more

[ashen carbon]

do you think if i say a line from good will hunting every day until thursday it’ll help get me into harvard

[vague hemlock]

I've been running a countdown everyday in #1135694160234557565 and im still probs gonna get deferred lmao manifesting doesnt work

[ashen carbon]

mah boy’s wicked smaht

[opal night]

Dang you’ve got high hopes

[ashen carbon]

yeah

[uncut canyon]

yes date since last period thats literallt what we use to date a fetus

[minor pecan]

there were definitely more than 2 last year

I don’t see why this year would be different

[ashen carbon]

no but like

[minor pecan]

Yeah, a lot of mfs are in this channel and they act like weirdos

but I think it’ll be ok

[ashen carbon]

the process of aging

[uncut canyon]

wdym

[opal night]

😭 it’s like that one effect

[uncut canyon]

i predict kace 🫡

[ashen carbon]

like the degree which your body’s exhausted its depletable resources

[uncut canyon]

death

bro that’s literally just death

[ashen carbon]

or when you’re a kid how much you’ve grown compared to your eventual adult state

[uncut canyon]

that’s hard since everyone develops at different rates and times

everything is a range with development

so it’s hard to have a definitive comparaison

[ashen carbon]

yeah

i think that makes it concerning how many standards are based on age just like temporally

[uncut canyon]

yea especially when age isn’t a good measure of thing it’s just the most generalizable

[ashen carbon]

but where would it become problematic to standardize some biological age and then use it for law

[opal night]

Because it would mean creating a whole new universal ensured

[ashen carbon]

i feel like it could get pseudoscientific

[opal night]

Many countries would be like no thanks

[uncut canyon]

guys i think im gonna get yield protected from harvard. 😢

[opal night]

Nooo

[ashen carbon]

me too lmao

i sent my thank you email to the wrong email demonstrated interest is dead and buried

[uncut canyon]

Ooof

[opal night]

I doubt they care about demonstrated interest

[minor pecan]

This is the Harvard thread

Not age thread

Mfs

Fake mod

[opal night]

💀

[opal night]

You’re in the brown thread half the time

[minor pecan]

Stalker

[ashen carbon]

he’s deflecting from the topic of age because he’s a dinosaur

[opal night]

Im the stalker?? Not the million lucks 💀

[minor pecan]

I’m not responsible for the other lucks

I don’t know where they came from

[opal night]

From you

It’s ok to accept you’re not the number one luck anymore

[minor pecan]

That’s just false

[ashen carbon]

damn

[minor pecan]

There is no other luck in this server better than me

[opal night]

@hidden bloom is better

[minor pecan]

He’s an impostor

[opal night]

No you’re the fake

He’s going to the number 1 school

You’re not

[minor pecan]

and we already mutually agreed in verified village that I’m the original and better luck

[hidden bloom]

Who agreed!?

[minor pecan]

Why the fuck are you awake

[opal night]

Copied

[ashen carbon]

oh god damn

[opal night]

Copium

[opal night]

We’re Californians

[hidden bloom]

Keeping speak the truth 🗣️

[ashen carbon]

🍿

[opal night]

Ofc ofc

[minor pecan]

It’s quesrbridge

[hidden bloom]

I’m batman

[minor pecan]

Doesn’t count

[hidden bloom]

Copium

[ashen carbon]

bruh

[minor pecan]

QB diff

[opal night]

You’re legit coping

[minor pecan]

[hidden bloom]

Someone’s jealous he doesn’t get a full ride to the number one university 😹😹

[ashen carbon]

nah that’s crazy

[opal night]

LOL

[hidden bloom]

Real

[minor pecan]

Why would I want a free ticket to hell

Have fun in Jersey dawg

[ashen carbon]

you’re already there

[hidden bloom]

You’d rather get a ticket to “a school just right outside of Boston?”

[hidden bloom]

Real

[opal night]

“Little school in Cambridge”

[minor pecan]

What’s your endowment?

[hidden bloom]

😭

[ashen carbon]

good point though why glaze the school in a rivalry with rutgers

[minor pecan]

I would assume the #1 school would have an endowment larger than a school outside Boston

[opal night]

Doesn’t pton have the biggest endowment

[minor pecan]

No

[opal night]

That’s what they told me last year

Bigger than some country

Monaco I think

[hidden bloom]

Only comeback 😭

[vague hemlock]

harvard has the biggest endowment

[minor pecan]

Princeton doesn’t know its own endowment

Crazy

[minor pecan]

Only one needed

[opal night]

Not all of us are obsessed with our school

[vague hemlock]

guys i need a one-word synonym for look forward to

[hidden bloom]

It’s 4th sadly

[opal night]

I’ve moved on from Penn ty very much

[ashen carbon]

anticipate

[opal night]

Oh unfortunate

[hidden bloom]

All of Harvard students have short man syndrome that’s crazy

[opal night]

Also stalker much???

[hidden bloom]

Superiority complex is crazy

[minor pecan]

Im the stalker?? Not the million mods 💀

[vague hemlock]

but anticipate is so oehtoeiht not the same vibe

[hidden bloom]

@minor pecan

[opal night]

We’re not stalkers you’re the one pulling up messages from over a month ago 💀

[hidden bloom]

What does this say?

[ashen carbon]

dang

[hidden bloom]

Can you help me read this ranking list for me?

It looks like Princeton is #1?

[ashen carbon]

princeton is like

[hidden bloom]

Let’s see where Harvard is on this list 🤔🤔

[hidden bloom]

Ohhhh! #3

[minor pecan]

Yo can you help me rq

Idk what that says

[vague hemlock]

@hidden bloom what major

[pulsar pond]

?????

What drama did I just miss

This chat is not ok lol

How did we go from “no college for me” to Harvard vs Princeton

[bitter path]

I am 04 💀

[bitter path]

Even if harvard is 1 in here, its architecture is fr heartbreaking

Shi is mid

Princeton and yale got that dark/gothic academia vibes but harvard feels like ur average local school

[small nacelle]

Omg ikr 😢 so true

@minor pecan when is the first day of Harvard

[pulsar pond]

hello big sis

[bitter path]

I am a late 04, allow it gurl 😔

[lofty depot]

4 days to go

[uncut canyon]

how are my little harvest or whatever nerds

[small nacelle]

I can not wait for the first time I want time to pass faster

This has been the longest week in my entire life

[bitter path]

Gurl u dont even worry, just start shopping for ur dorm at Harvard

U deffo getting in 🥹 harvard legacy aint for the weak

[small nacelle]

ik a guy who was a harvard legacy from harvard summer school who got a 1590 and he got rejected 😭

[lofty depot]

oh nonono

[bitter path]

Is both of ur parents harvard alumni or just one?

U said ur mum helped and if she is the harvard alum

U sorted mate

[small nacelle]

just my mom I wish both my parents went to harvard 😭

I know this guy who goes to my school (I'm from the Boston/Cambridge area) and he has two moms and they both went to Harvard and they are both professors at Harvard and he literally also lives at Harvard

and one of his moms was the first black woman to graduate with a computer science degree from MIT

harvard is really really competitive

[bitter path]

Im pretty sure ur mum knows what she is doing and helped u present ur case the best of her ability

So dw about it

[small nacelle]

[lofty depot]

yeah u got this @small nacelle !!

[small nacelle]

[vague hemlock]

did he get in lol

[viscid pike]

It was there I checked it too. Not everything from ur common app is on ur file (I.e. ap scores)

[small nacelle]

He's in the 9th grade he's just in my math class so he's like 4 years ahead. He's super smart and is rated like 2,100 in chess which is insanely good

[vague hemlock]

oh damn

that is insane yeah

[reef forge]

It's a2c

Off the top of my head I can already think of 3-4 that I'm pretty sure are gonna get in rea

There was some guy with insane ECs and Intl awards

[vague hemlock]

who

[reef forge]

Some guy with lots of legacy

[vague hemlock]

in this channel??

[reef forge]

Ye

Don't remember names

I know kace is getting in

That's 3

Lumina prob as well

[vague hemlock]

kace def

lumina yeah

[late zenith]

Someone else here too who has perfect IB

which is fucking isnane

[vague hemlock]

i read her essays and know her ecs to an extent she's really good

[reef forge]

Perfect ib doesn't mean shit

[vague hemlock]

lumina

[late zenith]

How

[vague hemlock]

she's doing history+biology so kinda niche asw which will def help her app

[reef forge]

Almost every Intl applying has a 44 or 45

[late zenith]

Only few get 45/45

Oh fr

[reef forge]

It's impressive but all the top applicants have it

[vague hemlock]

bro im just realizing if i get rejected everywhere im not only letting down myself and close ones im letting down people in a2c who have expectations lmao

[vague hemlock]

how do they calculate predicted ib?

[reef forge]

Idk

[late zenith]

Didnt she say she spent 50 hours on harvard alone

[reef forge]

I think based on jr year grades

We get grades from 1-7

But our school doesn't do it like that

I just assume that's how others do it

[vague hemlock]

she only did rea harvard and nothing else so yeah i wouldn't be surprised

but her essays reflect that time commitment

[reef forge]

We get our predicted based on our mock exam scores in february

[vague hemlock]

dk about her common app but her supps are damn good

[vague hemlock]

ah okay

[reef forge]

Our mock exam scores count towards quarter 3 grades

We don't submit predicted to colleges

Only to the IB

[vague hemlock]

over here my friend just walked up to the principal and was like yo can i have a 95/100 predicted and she was like sure 💀

[reef forge]

It's out of 45

[vague hemlock]

i swear sometimes i wish i weren't in india so my efforts arent in vain lol

[late zenith]

I was practically failing hs in 10th and ended the year off with 3.84 and my parents threatened me I would have to study in pakistan

Uchicago ea is most likely a deferral/waitlist they accept more than 90% of their class ed1/ed2

[late zenith]

Defer waitlist from uchi means RD and that’s 0.9%

[reef forge]

Ye rd <1% ar

[reef forge]

And like 150 questbridge

[vague hemlock]

i feel like with uchicago ill either be accept or reject

no defer/waitlist

cuz either they love me or find me cringe and tryhard-y

and we all know im getting deferred from gtown

so im banking on 4 acceptances

but also v high chance ill be deferred from santa clara and case cuz yield protection

[reef forge]

Case waitlists everyone

[vague hemlock]

Preliminary

[lofty depot]

[vague hemlock]

iit madras has this thing called rsi-c (rsi chennai edition) which is basically mit's rsi but like indianized

that genius kid applied for it and had like the best profile but he had anger issues so our school refused to send his profile 💀

[vague hemlock]

[lofty depot]

[vague hemlock]

world champion in debate + did a six week summer program at the best university in my country + school pupil leader of the school + amazing grades (allegedly)

[vague hemlock]

[vague hemlock]

LOL sure

[lofty depot]

yeah don't worry then

I'm not either but idk lol

[noble yoke]

Idk, I SUBMITED a extra rec letter and clarified my EC’s and extra awards in additonal info so I am hoping that’s why 😦

[lofty depot]

ugh sounds like me hehe (everyone loves me at school so I do get some advantages ngl)

but ya I was genuine

can't help the fact that ppl love me sm

now that sounded conceited lol

[noble yoke]

[vague hemlock]

lol im literally writing an article about why the class of 2024 sucks i dont think you're the conceited one here

[lofty depot]

that was unnecessary 🙂

[lofty depot]

hehe

[small nacelle]

https://www.instagram.com/harvardbios2028/

guys the harvard 2028 instagram is up so exciting!

https://www.instagram.com/harvardcollege2027/

this was last years

[lofty depot]

no way

some of you are gonna make it to the page

exciting!!

[lofty depot]

do we not have luck on this? 🕵️

[small nacelle]

lmao

[bronze swan]

Yeah and dropping out so now no one gets in

[minor pecan]

Do you go to the hs I think you go to

if yes then you’re in

[late zenith]

boston latin school

yes they feed to harv

and their safety is BU/BC

oldest school in the world

and oldest college in the world

hmm

[lofty depot]

does harvard accept LOCI??

I'll start writing one but hopefully it doesn't turn out that I get straight up rejected lol

[bitter path]

Are ppl already getting in?

[pulsar pond]

my Korean bestie is a 04 ofc I allow it don't worry

[pulsar pond]

yep I know

[pulsar pond]

2 months

[small nacelle]

maybe they're manifesting

[floral oyster]

should i worry about not getting an interview as an international from the netherlands?

[bitter path]

Some diff level of delulu

[pulsar pond]

hands down

[bitter path]

Also how does it work for athletes? do they all get accepted or they just get an extra reader and apply as normal

[pulsar pond]

a bit yeah

[floral oyster]

they do know i've been hospitalized for the last couple months so that may be why

[pulsar pond]

according to theory if you're intl and you got no interview the best you'd get is deferred

[pulsar pond]

ok that makes sense

then perhaps it doesn't mean as much

but then they could have zoomed you

[floral oyster]

no like i was on the intensive care lol

[pulsar pond]

just saying rn there's no point to be too worried

[pulsar pond]

yeah so if they know it you should be ok

special circumstances

[lofty depot]

um could be a gap year person?

[reef forge]

They are lying

Oh wait nvm they could be a gap year person

Or an athlete

[bitter path]

Can u defer a yr at harvard?

[reef forge]

Maybe in special circumstances

[lofty depot]

harvard website says around 100 admits do that each year

[bitter path]

How does it work for them? Do they apply like us

[lofty depot]

ik 2 as well from the past

[reef forge]

Yea but they are essentially guaranteed in

Thats why rea is tough

[lofty depot]

why did I rea

[bitter path]

That’s a z list no? I thought it was only for children of BIG donors or very influential

[lofty depot]

wait did u disown luck??

[lofty depot]

no no that's a different thing

[reef forge]

Yes.

[lofty depot]

Good decision 👏

[bitter path]

I thought u died of old age

[bitter path]

U not filing for a divorce yet?

[lofty depot]

when can admits log into this?

https://college.harvard.edu/admitted-students-login?destination=/class-2028

[reef forge]

After they are admitted

[lofty depot]

yeah I'm actually considering it! @minor pecan is against the idea though

[lofty depot]

lol I mean if I just try logging into this over opening the admission letter, I can know the decision right?

like if I get logged in I'm in

if not then 😦

[reef forge]

Ok try it

Lmk what happens

I guarantee no one can access that

They will lock it until dec 15

Harvard can't be that stupid

[lofty depot]

yeah so imma open it on 15 before opening the admission letter essentially

[reef forge]

What if they make it available only in like january

And u think u got rejected

But I didnt

Just open the letter

Be normal

[lofty depot]

May I defer my admission once admitted?

Yes. Students admitted in the Early Action and Regular Decision rounds can choose to defer their admission by selecting the "I defer" option in their admitted student reply form.

We want to do everything possible to help the students we enroll make the most of their opportunities, avoiding the much reported "burnout" phenomenon that can keep them from reaching their full potential. Our overall graduation rate of 98%, among the highest in the nation, is perhaps due in part to the fact that so many students take time off, before or during college.

The admissions committee encourages admitted students to defer enrollment for one year to travel, pursue a special project or activity, work, or spend time in another meaningful way - provided they do not enroll in a degree-granting program at another college. Deferrals for two years are also considered for such purposes as military or religious service or under other unique circumstances, and subject to the approval of the admissions committee.

Each year, between 90 and 130 students defer their matriculation to the College, and they report their experiences to be uniformly positive. After graduation, large numbers of Harvard students take time off before beginning work or graduate school. Read more about taking time off.

[lofty depot]

oh ya that could be a thing lol

[reef forge]

Someone in the server got into yale last year and deferred for class of 29

Because of mandatory military service

In their home country

[lofty depot]

ah interesting

[pulsar pond]

could be z-list people

[vague hemlock]

blanco moment

That'd actually be pretty cool

you know what would be cooler

if Harvard paid me to travel for that one year🙁

[pulsar pond]

oh pls I want that

free travelling around the world that's so great

[vague hemlock]

exactly

[lilac yew]

has harvard released rea decision date?

[lofty depot]

nah

[pulsar pond]

they're just ready to drop the bomb at any given moment

[floral oyster]

they’re really taking their sweet time

[pulsar pond]

so true

I begin to feel endangered

somehow I feel so calm and so laid back that I don't want to work anymore

very dangerous thing cuz my all my rd progress is 0

or maybe it's just stress kicking in

[finite lodge]

winter break supplement grinding will awaken a beast within me

[pulsar pond]

:PPPPP waiting for harvard to crush my delulu or make my dreams come true

[floral oyster]

i wonder if they’re like luck and feed off applicant’s anxiety and fear so they’re doing it on purpose

tell us already

[vague hemlock]

lumina will you apply rd if you get into Harvard

[pulsar pond]

no

i'm done

Harvard is my dream school and my top choice

whatever financial aid package you give me as long as you're not making me pay every penny I'm committing

[vague hemlock]

ah nice

[pulsar pond]

the sole reason why I didnt ea to any school is just

I WANT TO SAVE APPLICATION FEE

[solid hornet]

i started some applications but universities have chosen randomly. also i've not passed any language exams for rd.... if not harvard, i have to pass it in 2 weeks

[pulsar pond]

damn that sounds harsh

but do you mind if I ask why do you need language exams

[solid hornet]

international applicant

and only harvard is test-optional for language test

[floral oyster]

Pretty sure you can submit such scores a bit later

Especially language ones

As far as I know

[solid hornet]

i hope!

[floral oyster]

Don’t take my words for it though, don’t want to be the one responsible for your rejection lol

Check for sure

[pulsar pond]

ah I see

but could you waive the requirement if your school's primary teaching language is English

that's what happened to me (I think)

but nonetheless I submitted IELTS scores so I think I'll be fine

[solid hornet]

oh, don't worry! of course i'll check, but thanks for your assumption.

[solid hornet]

i'm from Eastern Europe, english isn't my native unfortunately

[pulsar pond]

kinda guessed your ethnicity but no problem

good luck on your exam!

[solid hornet]

wow, you are from europe?

[pulsar pond]

no I'm from Hong Kong

my school's primary language is english but I gave in my IELTS anyway

idk if they see it on my file

[solid hornet]

it's good! i think it won't be extra

[pulsar pond]

yeah whatever I have i'm just shoving it up their face

[solid hornet]

guys, have you sent any additional materials?

[pulsar pond]

I sent them a correction about my app

[solid hornet]

hahaha it's good

[late zenith]

what did u send

[pulsar pond]

I ticked a wrong box for an award and I just explained I only got the award once in 9th grade not 9th and 11th grade

[late zenith]

isnt it better to put on addtl info rather then sending

oh ok and u did on portal right

[solid hornet]

i've sent some links, but they didn't checked it...

[pulsar pond]

did you put it in ur portal

[late zenith]

what did u apply as

[solid hornet]

yes

[late zenith]

neuro + music?

[pulsar pond]

yeah for whatever you submit in your portal they don't put a tick aside

they just give you a file icon

[solid hornet]

maybe they read only scientific papers?

[late zenith]

triple major is crazy

[pulsar pond]

so don't worry as long as you submitted it early they should have seen it

[late zenith]

oh ok

[pulsar pond]
