[lofty depot]

yaaay

[storm condor]

lmao

[bitter path]

U are not gonna get rejected

[storm condor]

fellow cper

[karmic burrow]

i know

[karmic burrow]

hi

[small nacelle]

do yall know each other or something

[karmic burrow]

asking around if anyone has interviews

[small nacelle]

Yes that's the spirit!!

[storm condor]

yeah codeforces and IOI shit, he is famous

[small nacelle]

No wayy

[storm condor]

slavic and mesanu

🙏

[bitter path]

Those ppl that got in before, did they receive an interview??

[karmic burrow]

i know that one girl definetly got one in early action

[karmic burrow]

thank you but i am not famous

[storm condor]

did u do rea?

how come

[small nacelle]

what's your major

[karmic burrow]

Applied Math

[small nacelle]

interesting

[lofty depot]

i love that

but also too bad at it so-

[karmic burrow]

thanks

[floral oyster]

pretty popular major

quite the competition

[karmic burrow]

is it?

[floral oyster]

yeah as far as i know

[lofty depot]

what's like the least popular major at harvard?

[karmic burrow]

at least it's better than CS and math and CS is basically all I want to do

doesn't matter either way from what i gather

[small nacelle]

hm probably germanic studies or smth

[karmic burrow]

something like germanic studies, random ethnic studies

[lofty depot]

ok collective answer confirms it

[floral oyster]

harvard's math department is rlly good tho

[noble yoke]

Okay, if not Harvard then Columbia!

I would pick Columbia

[floral oyster]

pure mathematics

[floral oyster]

yeah ethnic and ''exotic'' language studies

[storm condor]

harvard always wants some stem majors right?

each year

[floral oyster]

my second declared concentration is near eastern studies, and my EC's and background back it up so i have some hope

[lofty depot]

guys people say 'Applied Math' is easier than pure. Is that true or what?

[lofty depot]

i see

[floral oyster]

applied math is more computational in nature from what i gather

[bitter path]

What exactly is applied maths??

[floral oyster]

where as pure math is more fundamental, must more proofs

[bitter path]

Like mechanics??

[storm condor]

@bitter path u didnt answer 😦

who had same prof as me

[floral oyster]

depends on the person, but pure math is generally harder

[storm condor]

and got in

lmao

[noble yoke]

My major is econ, gov and Mechanical engineering

[lofty depot]

where does environmental science and public policy place on this list if uk?

[bitter path]

Oh sorry, it was on reddit

On the rea megathread

[lofty depot]

econ is way popular

[floral oyster]

pretty much anything that has real world application, pure mathematics has algebraic geometry as the most prestigious field but has zero applications in the real world

[noble yoke]

is that bad

[storm condor]

can u say more lmao or should i scroll for hours

[floral oyster]

generally the less real world applications, the more prestigious it is in pure mathematics

with the exception of number theory

[lofty depot]

um idk it's competitive is all I know

[karmic burrow]

i talked to my friend at harvard and she says everyone switches to econ once they get in 💀

[floral oyster]

econ is the most popular concentration

https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2021/1/28/concentration-numbers-class-2023/

[lofty depot]

and this?

[karmic burrow]

i have a test worth 50% of my grade tomorrow and im talking on a random discord server

👍

[floral oyster]

not sure if it's a separate concentration

would think it falls under government

[storm condor]

from moldova?

[lofty depot]

nah I guess it's humanities

[karmic burrow]

yes

[lofty depot]

but again gov falls under humanities too

ig

[bitter path]

Found him but now that I look back I am not sure how similar it is 💀

Lemme send it wait

[small nacelle]

Lmaooo

[karmic burrow]

harvard accepted someone from my school 2 years in a row and i'm crossing my fingers

[floral oyster]

u can find more info here: https://www.hodp.org/project/which-concentration-s-on-top/

[lofty depot]

both w interviews or what?

[bitter path]

@storm condor is it somewhat similar 💀

[karmic burrow]

one with interview, other i'm not sure

[lofty depot]

thanks!

[storm condor]

did she do oly

[karmic burrow]

yes

[storm condor]

what is FGLI

[storm condor]

what oly

[floral oyster]

first generation, low income student

[karmic burrow]

icho/imo

no cp at all

[storm condor]

she went to imo?

😮

damn

what else did she have

and did she apply to MIT

[karmic burrow]

she got into MIT

[storm condor]

😐

but chose harvard

?

[karmic burrow]

she had a lot

yes

[storm condor]

adelina?

thats her?

[karmic burrow]

yes

bro is stalking harvard students 💀

[storm condor]

no wonder she got in

[storm condor]

i just wanted to see if she had medal

imo

lmao

[karmic burrow]

yes, she definetly deserves it

[floral oyster]

how much do awards matter

cuz im pretty stacked with ec's and hooks

just no awards

[karmic burrow]

i don't think anyone here knows the mind of the AOs but from my school basically everyone had international medals

[lofty depot]

depends on the strength of other parts of your application

[floral oyster]

fair enough

[karmic burrow]

on top of being stacked on other departments

[storm condor]

👀

but?

[lofty depot]

what hooks do you have?

[karmic burrow]

what are hooks?

is it just a catchy essay intro?

[lofty depot]

haha no

[karmic burrow]

oh

so what does it mean

[lofty depot]

first generation, low income, legacy and all that

[karmic burrow]

oh

[lofty depot]

Ah that's unique

wait u speak hebrew??

[floral oyster]

yeah, there are a lot of moroccan jews lol

great to practice with

getting rusty tho

[lofty depot]

wow

[karmic burrow]

wow

are you fully recovered?

[lofty depot]

u took a gap year or what?

[floral oyster]

yeah, graduated when I was 17

[floral oyster]

half a year in remission now

[lofty depot]

Oooo

[rancid mural]

wtf

[lofty depot]

btw what's tamazight and coptic?

[floral oyster]

tamazight is the language of the natives of north africa

before the arabs invaded

still spoken

[small nacelle]

hahahhaha

[floral oyster]

language of the berbers

[lofty depot]

wow

[lofty depot]

also how was your interview??

[karmic burrow]

is it first gen if parents did go to uni but not in the us?

[lofty depot]

nope

[karmic burrow]

bro i got no hooks

[floral oyster]

coptic is the language primarily used by copts (christian egyptians), commonly spoken in egypt when it was part of the byzantine empire

[lofty depot]

you don't need one to get in so chill

[floral oyster]

didn't get one, but speaking to other dutch admits they said they didn't get one either

also probable that i didn't get one due to medical circumstances (was hospitalized again last month)

[storm condor]

is 3.94/4.0 good gpa ?

[floral oyster]

which they know

[lofty depot]

I never met a person w such a rich and fascinating background wow!!!

[karmic burrow]

depends on school

[rancid mural]

vast majority of applicants don't (unless you count connections/legacy)

[floral oyster]

thanks

[lofty depot]

I hope you presented all this well on your apps, I'm impressed by just what u wrote here

[lofty depot]

school context matters yeah

[floral oyster]

i had help from a friend of mine that does a master in philosophy in physics at oxford, so i hope i did

[lofty depot]

[rancid mural]

my friend can juggle (for a short duration)

so

[karmic burrow]

holy shit!!!

[floral oyster]

love the edit lol

[mossy mortar]

i think thats fine

[lofty depot]

bro I though of applying to Tufts (as safety) and I cannot find a single reason why I'd like to go there

[noble yoke]

but tufts isn’t a safety

[karmic burrow]

same with me and dartmouth

[rancid mural]

...as a safety?

[lofty depot]

um I see it as one lol

delulu me

[final walrus]

11.4 ar as a safety?!

[floral oyster]

their supps are mad annoying

[noble yoke]

If you did like a fly in PROFRAM at the college, chances are it’s a “safety”

[karmic burrow]

but they give money 😋

[final walrus]

i did a fly in at penn

[lofty depot]

better than my other <5% schools

[final walrus]

fair

[noble yoke]

ya then most likely if you improve on ur app then

u should be good

just don’t get lazy

[final walrus]

too late :)

[noble yoke]

U did PEEP or PIF

[final walrus]

pif

[karmic burrow]

whats a fly in program?

[noble yoke]

oh I did PEEP

And Columbia fly in

[final walrus]

didnt know i could apply to both

i got rejected from columbia

[noble yoke]

U can’t

[final walrus]

some do

[noble yoke]

it depends on how far ur from Penn

[final walrus]

they apply peep and if they get rejected they apply to pif

[noble yoke]

For low income or first gen students to visit the college for free

[karmic burrow]

just visit?

[noble yoke]

I thought it was 150 miles away

[rancid mural]

lots of colleges will let some prospective applicants "fly-in" to their campus to live on campus for a few days and see how they like it
generally low-income/underrepresented students

with a lot of schools, being accepting to a fly-in entails a high likelihood of being accepted

[noble yoke]

radius

[final walrus]

when u apply to the college they mark ur application and look at it a lil nicer

[karmic burrow]

is yygs a fly in?

[final walrus]

yeah it should be but ive seen many people apply to both

[noble yoke]

Did they get in

[final walrus]

no idea i didn't follow up

[lofty depot]

i don't think so

[karmic burrow]

ah, sad

[final walrus]

i got my fee waiver though so im happy

[noble yoke]

I think by using the fee wavier

That’s how they tell

U did the program

[final walrus]

yeah

[noble yoke]

ya

[final walrus]

in the common app it asks did u attend a program and if so put the code down

[noble yoke]

Columbia’s AO’s lost my backpack

During The FLYIN

[floral oyster]

harvard should rlly have its own financial aid site like princeton

[final walrus]

then they verify or something to make sure some random guy doesnt put it down

[noble yoke]

[final walrus]

cold

[noble yoke]

ya

[final walrus]

did u get it back

[noble yoke]

They were moving the backpacks

And somehow lost mines

Ya

But I was panicking for a night

[karmic burrow]

idoc messed up my documents and I called twice and it still isnt resolved

[noble yoke]

They texted me at like 11 Pm saying they found it

[eternal jolt]

Demand acceptance or sue the school

[final walrus]

thats good then lol

ill try

sue for emotional damage

[floral oyster]

the fact that as an international student you have no choice but to pay for CSS is mad

[noble yoke]

IT HAD MY LAPTOP AND ID IN IT

i was going crazy

[final walrus]

i would too laptops are expensive lmao

[noble yoke]

ya and my iD to get home

[eternal jolt]

They better accept u

[karmic burrow]

at least we dont pay for all the AP stuff americans have to buy from the college board

[noble yoke]

PLEASE

COLUMBIA IS MY 2nd choice

[final walrus]

for real

92 dollars to take the exam

then another 10 to send the score

[floral oyster]

yeah but even those have fee reductions for low-income students

css gives low-income intl students no choice but to pay

[rancid mural]

i feel like that's reasonable... unlike what intl students have to put up with 😭

[floral oyster]

the alternative is filling out that pdf financial aid form from the harvard website

[final walrus]

welcome to america where sending a digital score costs money and you can pay for expedited shipping

[karmic burrow]

yeah, i see it.

[final walrus]

this is fair

[rancid mural]

CB needs to make $ somehow

[final walrus]

all that plastic wrapping for tests

[noble yoke]

College board is worth .5 Billion

[storm condor]

me speding 2k to send sat scores and apps

😐

[noble yoke]

Most American do to

$75 per app adds up

[storm condor]

pls help

[eternal jolt]

Fr 💀

Im broke

[karmic burrow]

i thought a lot of colleges were self-report

[final walrus]

none of my safeties were

[stable pecan]

many are

[rancid mural]

do you have to send your AP scores as you apply

or can you just send for credit once you commit

[final walrus]

if u can self report you kinda just put a number down

and then when ur in you submit official to confirm them

and the college gives u credit

[eternal jolt]

Only unofficial for the most part

Some schools require though

U have to send official after enrollment though

If you do get into a school that asked for unofficial ones

[final walrus]

ill be able to answer this in 2 days

[bitter path]

I am still not over the fact that u guys need to use a third party app just to transfer money 💀

[final walrus]

wdym

[rancid mural]

not if i have anything to say about it

[final walrus]

woah

[bitter path]

Cashapp and those typa apps

[eternal jolt]

😂

[storm condor]

paypal...

[final walrus]

oh whats strange about that

[rancid mural]

or like what if you get deferred

[bitter path]

…

[eternal jolt]

Everyone on this server is cracked it’s like a 20% acceptance rate to ivies on here lol

[storm condor]

cap

[rancid mural]

1 in 5 would be wild

[final walrus]

[bitter path]

It’s not normal, most ppl can just use their bank’s app

[eternal jolt]

If u shotgun

[storm condor]

not safe bruh

paypal top g

[final walrus]

i mean we can too but it takes time

[half topaz]

[final walrus]

cashapp is just so convenient takes like 30 seconds to split a bill among friends

[eternal jolt]

Not rly

[storm condor]

[final walrus]

do u have airpods or headphones or earbuds

[storm condor]

yah

[bitter path]

That’s what normal banking app should take

[final walrus]

which one my friend

[bitter path]

Within seconds

[eternal jolt]

Sleep with the Harvard Alma mater

[storm condor]

ok then 🙏

[storm condor]

😮

Fair Harvard! we join in thy Jubilee throng,

And with blessings surrender thee o’er

By these Festival-rites, from the Age that is past,

To the Age that is waiting before.

O Relic and Type of our ancestors’ worth,

That hast long kept their memory warm,

First flow’r of their wilderness! Star of their night!

[final walrus]

if u have headphones then no if u have airpods or earbuds go for it but have fun finding them in the morning

[storm condor]

lol

[eternal jolt]

Sounds so odd

[final walrus]

howd you find my harvard essay dude

[eternal jolt]

Someone was hallucinating when they rote that fr

Too much zaza

[final walrus]

yeah bro me

[karmic burrow]

I need to remember to check this chat again on friday

[eternal jolt]

This discord isn’t healthy for your ego

ngl

[storm condor]

ugh

my sat scores gonna fail my ass

[last spire]

Why dude

[storm condor]

idk it shouldnt matter

but i feel like it does

[storm condor]

that much*

[last spire]

780+ in math?

[storm condor]

yeah

but english 💀

[last spire]

650+?

[storm condor]

yea

[last spire]

Ur fine

[storm condor]

😮

[last spire]

It wont matter then

[storm condor]

i hope so

thanks

[last spire]

🤣

[storm condor]

😭

[eternal jolt]

so many people get in with not great SAT scores

[noble yoke]

I think no for harvard it was like 10% I think

[storm condor]

yeah lmao

not many ppl get in

25% percentile is like 1480 or smth

[eternal jolt]

dont compare urself with others one here its a bad idea

[storm condor]

??

im comparing with harvsard students

[noble yoke]

We’re not comparing just stating the facts

10% people get in test optional

[eternal jolt]

there could be a disadvantage but that could be just because people with test optional scores have on average worse applications

doesnt mean ur application will be looked badly

[eternal jolt]

youve always got the other top schools you can get into if this doesnt work out

as long as you applied for them

[storm condor]

yeah it is just that it will be a dream if i get in early

im also going for a school trip 5 hours after decision

😛

[rancid mural]

wrong

83% of 2027 admits submitted test scores, NOT accounting for ppl who submitting both ACT and SAT

[minor pecan]

18%

[rancid mural]

so i'd guess about 20% get in T/O

[storm condor]

luck

how did u do

did u have any luck with ur exam

[rancid mural]

whats ur score hld

it cant be that bad

[storm condor]

it can

790 + 660

[rancid mural]

near perfect math is crazy

[minor pecan]

Did you submit or to

[storm condor]

i did

[minor pecan]

Ye I think it was fine

[storm condor]

bruh its sat

[rancid mural]

still crazy to me

[minor pecan]

I prob could’ve prepared more I think but oh well

[rancid mural]

i think i had a 540 math when i tried SAT 💀

[storm condor]

oh 😭

[storm condor]

cap

u can easily get 720+

[rancid mural]

it is not cap

[minor pecan]

Act math is supposed to be harder than sat

[storm condor]

congrats

[minor pecan]

How’d you do better on act

[sharp lava]

Def not
Sat math is way harder

[minor pecan]

??

[storm condor]

act is harder

ive checked

im not delulu

[rancid mural]

cus ACT is standard in alabama

i'm accustomed to it

[sharp lava]

I got a 790 and 36 maths but i def think sat is harder

There’s a non multiple choice section lol I usually miss pts from there

[stable pecan]

SAT just likes to deceive u and trick u

so stupid and mean

[storm condor]

im dumb

🙂

[rancid mural]

💀

[storm condor]

bruh

570 is crazy

how

how can u get 720 and 570

[rancid mural]

i only had geo and alg 1 when taking that btw

[storm condor]

doesnt add up

[rancid mural]

cus english is easy as fuck

[sharp lava]

Reading comprehension is the death of me

I’m fine with the grammar and writing section but the reading I always run out of time

[storm condor]

who the guy

in pic

[sharp lava]

Isn’t that a YouTuber

[rich mirage]

I thought Danny was reacting to his SAT score 😭

[rancid mural]

danny gonzalez

[rancid mural]

LMFAOOO

[sharp lava]

😭

[rancid mural]

[rancid mural]

this is ACT lol. im much better at english and reading

[storm condor]

:p

i took duolingo lmao

and im taking toefl next week

i got 150/160 but its ez af i think

[rancid mural]

i am a social science major so if i was bad at english it wouldnt make sense

[storm condor]

toefl reading also ez

[sharp lava]

Wait guys do most ivys superscore the act?

[rancid mural]

yeah except harvad

[sharp lava]

Oh

[storm condor]

let em cook

[rancid mural]

i think if my act math improved but others didnt i'd still submit both

depending on how bad the others were

[storm condor]

Not me sending accidentally all my sat scores to yale brown and another one and getting rejectd

😐

[frozen dome]

guys where did they confirm the decision date?

[rancid mural]

W

[ashen carbon]

oh damn

last august i gave my mom my college board login to finish registering me for the sat and she sent my seventh grade sat score to harvard

[storm condor]

??????

[ashen carbon]

i asked her why and she was like “It can’t hurt right”

traumatic experience

[storm condor]

first of all why did u give sat at 13

[ashen carbon]

cty

[storm condor]

and second of all did it have any impact

[ashen carbon]

eh

i self reported after?

so hopefully not

but maybe they’ll see my abysmal seventh grade essay score and decide to reject me

[rancid mural]

lmfao i took ACT in 9th for a program too

got a 27, def didnt send that

[ashen carbon]

i actually didn’t do garbage then on a fluke

[small nacelle]

OMGGG I WOULD DIEEE if my mom did that. My 7th grade SAT score would have gotten me auto-rejected. What was yours how bad was it?

Did you tell her after

[ashen carbon]

but my mom got overconfident and started telling EVERYONE as though they would care

[rancid mural]

My mom has told everyone i applied to harvard

my school posted it on facebook

450+ likes

[ashen carbon]

so chicago and harvard now have a copy of my 7th grade score

[storm condor]

my school doenst know it is 2am decisions, and we are going on trip in the morning

if i get in its gonna be the best thing

if i dont i will tell them it comes out afternoon

lmao

[ashen carbon]

[small nacelle]

[minor pecan]

[minor pecan]

we can’t hate on people based on their school

unless they go to yale

[ashen carbon]

i bet you wish i’d specified now

valid though

[orchid mason]

You can hate on anyone based on their school just for the sole fact that it isn't Squidward Community College

[minor pecan]

What are you majoring in

or planning to

[ashen carbon]

the school that looks like if the people who built the capitol didn’t know how to use a protractor

[orchid mason]

Probably Civil & Environmental Engineering but honestly I don't know shit about what I'm gonna eventually end up choosing

I can't declare a major until I'm a year in anyway so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ashen carbon]

grades are dropped freshman year right

[orchid mason]

Yes but that's barely comforting 💀

They gotta do that for a reason

[ashen carbon]

ngl i love mit but they do not want me and i would die

[minor pecan]

that’s honestly so goated

[ashen carbon]

just skip class for a semester drive to caltech and steal a building

mit hacking culture

[orchid mason]

Ngl I live in SoCal so legitimately if I do go home for a break or smth then I could go over and troll Caltech

But ngl there's just something goofy about Caltech

'Cause like, a 3 digit undergrad population is crazy

[ashen carbon]

LMFAO

it’s ok you can troll harvey mudd instead

[orchid mason]

Caltech, MIT 🤢
CIT, Masstech 😍

[ashen carbon]

no wait i forgot the claremont’s aren’t technically one school so hmc’s also three digits

[orchid mason]

Honestly the Claremont colleges are such a vibe

[ashen carbon]

yess

[orchid mason]

To be fair they're the Claremont colleges

They're so close they might as well be one thing

Caltech is in its own space

[ashen carbon]

you meet everyone in caltech in half a semester

great for 3-2 liberal arts programs

[orchid mason]

Ngl I actually did consider going to one of the LACs 'cause of the 3-2 programs

I honestly am pretty interested in them

But like

That's soooo damn risky

[orchid mason]

Lovely stuff

[ashen carbon]

yeah lmao

i’ve just got pomona and hmc down bc even if everything goes wrong they have pretty good physics and math

[minor pecan]

Never heard of it

[pulsar pond]

Definitely what I’d expect of an American

By ppl in our school think HKU is very pretentious

[ashen carbon]

[pulsar pond]

Shanghai Jiao Tong right

[ashen carbon]

yeah

[pulsar pond]

Yeah whatever none of them compare with Harvard

[ashen carbon]

i’m nepo baby at tsinghua actually

but i’m not applying

because it just feels wrong

[pulsar pond]

Y

[ashen carbon]

feel like i wouldn’t have any individual merit

[pulsar pond]

I could apply to Tsinghua

[ashen carbon]

my brother applied in 2020 like four days late and got an interview with two professors

[strange wedge]

real

[pulsar pond]

It’s mad tough for mainland Chinese kids but they’re pretty lax with students from Hong Kong Macau and Taiwan

[ashen carbon]

then they accepted him despite his lack of fluent chinese

it just feels wrong yk

[minor pecan]

What’s Taiwan

[pulsar pond]

Relatively less ppl apply from these places so it wouldn’t be too competitive

[ashen carbon]

no idea

[pulsar pond]

I want to apply to Seoul National as a joke

[ashen carbon]

why as a joke

[pulsar pond]

My Korean bestie goes there if they accept me I can just show them my acceptance letter

and be like: u know I could've been ur hoobae

hoobae= younger student in the same school compared to u in Korean culture

[ashen carbon]

Let’s make ChatGPT write

[ashen carbon]

what

[rancid mural]

r u ok carly

[jolly hinge]

There once was a leader named @minor pecan,
In Discord, they didn't just muck.
In the Harvard thread's reign,
Their advice did sustain,
Guiding hopefuls with wisdom and pluck.

[rancid mural]

what does that mean

[jolly hinge]

ChatGPT wrote that

😁

[ashen carbon]

In ivory towers, where intellects conspire,
A fresher named Luck, with dreams so dire,
In discord's realm, the Harvard thread his stage,
Yet wisdom's curtain veils his hollow page.

With naught but dreams to drape his empty mind,
He lingers on, in ignorance entwined,
A puppet dancing in the threads of lore,
Yet Harvard's gates, forever closed, evermore.

His aspirations, like a fleeting mist,
In Ivy League, where scholars e'er persist,
But Luck, a fool, remains in hopeful jest,
In Discord's grip, he finds no respite, no rest.

Oh, luckless lad, in ignorance immersed,
The hallowed halls of Harvard deemed him cursed.

[rancid mural]

In ivory halls where dreams aspire high,
There dwells a harrowing and biting tongue,
Young Luck, in Harvard's light, with wits awry,
Mocks hopeful souls, where empathy is hung.

Within A2C's domain, a place to seek,
Prospective hearts with yearning, wide and keen,
Yet Luck, with jests, so cold, so grim, so bleak,
Dashes their hopes, a demeanor unseen.

O, cruelest japes, from such a tender age,
To sow discord where aspirations bloom,
Aspiring minds, now caught within a cage,
By cynic's quips, they meet impending gloom.

Let kindness reign in halls of higher thought,
Where trolls find solace, may their barbs be caught.

[ashen carbon]

why is it so easy for chatgpt

like

rhyme schemes + syllable counts + accenting

full metered

[jolly hinge]

Nah it didn’t do my acrostic

Let's craft an acrostic poem using the word "Harvard":

Hateful words from Luck, a sting,
Acutely sharp, they often fling.
Ruthless critiques, unkind remarks,
Vitriol spreads in Discord's sparks.
Agony felt by those who seek,
Reputation tarnished, truth is bleak.
Vexed high schoolers face this bleak art,
Dismayed by Luck's unkindly part.

[minor pecan]

[minor pecan]

@small nacelle A path in a binary tree is a sequence of nodes where each pair of adjacent nodes in the sequence has an edge connecting them. A node can only appear in the sequence at most once. Note that the path does not need to pass through the root.

The path sum of a path is the sum of the node's values in the path.

Given the root of a binary tree, return the maximum path sum of any non-empty path

[rancid mural]

we have to unmute you manually so u just end up getting muted for longer

[small nacelle]

does that mean someone reported my message

[small nacelle]

Oooooo

[rancid mural]

on your third warning and so on you get muted every time you get warned

guys i was lying im not poor or rural i live in cambridge and my mom is claudine gay

so although it might've been a minor infraction, they add up

[small nacelle]

Omg this is so new to me 😭

[small nacelle]

LMAOO

that would be funny though

[rancid mural]

so be nice, follow the rules, don't doxx anyone, no portal astrology, and you prob won't have to suffer another mute
