[rancid mural]

[tired perch]

Congrats to all of the Harvard admits
-me, Yale '28

[true plover]

[rancid mural]

like a college acceptance is great

but you still gotta retain that humility

[rancid mural]

happy to be enemies with you

Yeah…not worth it

Anyway

[tired perch]

I tip my hat to you, from one legend to another

[rancid mural]

getting so many dms from randos and i just know they're gonna say "stats" in a second

No, I’m just saying for future reference

[jolly lichen]

lol $10m isn't good enough, apparently (also bill ackman currently has beef w Harvard so uhhh LOL)

[rancid mural]

abnon do u know how to upload missing finaid documents

Literally life

[jolly lichen]

what's missing? generally you just upload to idoc

[rancid mural]

on myharvard

[lusty zealot]

It’ll all fall apart when you realize instead of being the smartest in the room you are average

[rancid mural]

my mom's disability statement

[jolly lichen]

wait why are you going through my.harvard?

[rancid mural]

not smth they asked for on idoc

idk how else to upload it

[jolly lichen]

I would just call or email finaid

[rancid mural]

ok i guess i gotta call in the morning then

[lusty zealot]

Getting into harvard kalm

[rancid mural]

my advice is don’t let a college acceptance change you

or define you

[lusty zealot]

Realizing you cant pay: panik

[ashen carbon]

he made a point of not reducing his donation i think

[rancid mural]

qb finalist, didnt do the match

[lusty zealot]

Harvard admits have a nasty ego problem ngl

[rancid mural]

i took the risk and opted out of the match for harvard 💀

[pine basin]

no comment

[strange wedge]

Deferred 😜

[pine basin]

it's a whole thing

[strange wedge]

Damn this hurts a bit

[pine basin]

basically it's applying to be able to apply to colleges early but you can also do it regular but also you didn't really need to get into the first round but only some schools accept it but the application is slightly different and it's earlier

(that was meant to be confusing)

[jolly lichen]

nah but he wants to allocate money that they didn't actually realize because of some clause

[chilly knot]

im harvard

imagine not harvard

[pine basin]

hi john harvard

[jolly lichen]

did you already get the finaid package?

[chilly knot]

skill issue

[rancid mural]

no the disability statement is required

[lusty zealot]

Says the guy who got into a school 4 times easier than here.

USC Cinematic Arts

Lol

[jolly lichen]

wait then doesn't whatever tell you how to upload it?

[rancid mural]

What makes you say this

MITES is narcissists in its purest

[lusty zealot]

I got into harvard and you didnt so you are an idiot

[rancid mural]

HEY!

[lusty zealot]

That was an example

[rancid mural]

oh

[lusty zealot]

[rancid mural]

yeah you kinda have a point

[pearl field]

which courses are the hard ones to get into for harvard

[rancid mural]

nope

[lusty zealot]

All of em

[rancid mural]

all the tax documents have a little i next to it telling u how

except for that one

💀

[pearl field]

surely that course on folklore is much easier to get into than something like chemistry due to demand?

[jolly lichen]

ah welp ok just call tomorrow, they're really helpful

[rancid mural]

Abstract

[jolly lichen]

I wouldn't worry about it, you'll figure it out

[rancid mural]

Did you get in

[lusty zealot]

The overall university acceptance is 16%

And without the film school it would probably be 35%

[pearl field]

oh

[lusty zealot]

For USC

I just laughed

[rancid mural]

be rich

[lusty zealot]

Honors program at harvard

[rancid mural]

You have to be mega rich

[brisk umbra]

honors program LMFAO

[rancid mural]

bruh he was just asking a question

exactly

[brisk umbra]

probably if you need accommodations

like you qualify for disability services

it’s that way here

(here as in columbia)

[rancid mural]

You go to Harvard?

equally impressive

[jolly lichen]

no and no

[rancid mural]

Abstract

Did you get in

[jolly lichen]

bruh i graduated last year

[brisk umbra]

lmao

[rancid mural]

From Harvard?

[lusty zealot]

Gonna be a bloodbath when USC comes around in January

[rancid mural]

You graduated last year from Harvard)

[jolly lichen]

we don't generally have class caps, the class just gets bigger

[rancid mural]

Abstract

You graduated from Harvard?

[jolly lichen]

in some circumstances there are caps but those are usually lotteried or application based, not timing

[rancid mural]

oh damn

[jolly lichen]

no limits to how many people can enroll in a class

[rancid mural]

So I assume you have like your own startup now

Or are a millionaire

[brisk umbra]

😭😭😭😭

[jolly lichen]

which is what you need priority registration for

[rancid mural]

I mean he’s literally a Harvard graduate

[jolly lichen]

no and no lol

[rancid mural]

u gotta apply to take a class? 💀

Dude can get >100k salary STARTING easy

ive never heard of that concept lol

[jolly lichen]

Sometimes yes. it's a common thing for size limited classes but less common at Harvard compared to other schools ime

an example of a capped class is like studio art, because you need one on one time

[rancid mural]

i assume its not rlly a thing for intro classes?

[jolly lichen]

essentially not at all

except freshman seminars

you apply to those

[rancid mural]

interesting

i'll have to look more into the seminars

[strange wedge]

Does anyone have tips for writing a LOCI

like do we email the admissions office or submit through the portal

[rancid mural]

#📝-essays message

portal

[strange wedge]

[jolly lichen]

and ask in there perhaps

Ivy Coach 🔥🔥

Harvard accepts about 2100 students through RD and REA

They have a yield rate of roughly 82%

[pulsar pond]

well I mean it is slightly higher than RD acceptance rate

[minor pecan]

which is roughly 1700 students

[pulsar pond]

let me just be delulu for 4 more months

[lilac yew]

2099 and me

[toxic oar]

we not getting into harvard wit hthis one 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[minor pecan]

Harvard’s classes are like 1800 students or so

each yr

so it wouldn’t make sense for them to take 600 people off the defer list

feels like a lot of people

but who knows

[rain frost]

bro usc kinda has the same problem ngl

[frigid herald]

@rancid mural Did you block me

[rancid mural]

no i turned off dms cus ppl wouldnt stop acting like seagulls asking for stats

[floral oyster]

Im genuinely confused as to how I got deferred

[hidden bloom]

My uncles niece pet rabbit needs to get in, drop the stats

[hidden bloom]

They want you so bad, but they know it’ll be an addiction, so the defer you to rd so they don’t get attached

[floral oyster]

I literally have a LOR from a Nobel laureate

Was the AO reviewing me a moron or what

[hidden bloom]

Yea they want you so bad, it’s so they won’t get attached!

[rancid mural]

sending that to your ao rn

[hidden bloom]

Stats?

[rancid mural]

[hidden bloom]

[floral oyster]

Ikr that must be it

Cant have shit in this life

[rain frost]

[hidden bloom]

That’s Hogwarts material

[rain frost]

[minor pecan]

prob 5+

[ashen carbon]

truly deferral is my own fault lmfao

[lusty zealot]

Almost no one gets in here

You think harvard is hard lol

[ashen carbon]

so far also it might end up being like 10

[rancid mural]

this wait was excruciating and now we have to wait until march 28 😭

[ashen carbon]

yup

fuck i don't want to ed ii

[minor pecan]

Is ed2 binding

[ashen carbon]

yes

[minor pecan]

hmmmm

[ashen carbon]

but i don't want to not get into a college

[minor pecan]

Just spam rds

Cornell should be doable, no?

for instate

feeder

[lusty zealot]

What percentage was harvard last year

Overall

[ashen carbon]

for rea?

[minor pecan]

7.56% acc rate rea

~78% defer

[lusty zealot]

No overall

[minor pecan]

3.41

[lusty zealot]

With RD

[plush loom]

shut up luck

go study

nerd

[lusty zealot]

I wish i had those odds

Btw

[minor pecan]

Pretty simple

[ashen carbon]

what if i just

break contract and fuck over my actually corrupt school

nah that's not a morally defensible decision

[lusty zealot]

Execution

[left sky]

ok im not disappointed being deferred then!!

if the defer rate is so high

how come they don't just reject

[minor pecan]

Idk, ask harvard

[lusty zealot]

Psych warfare

[minor pecan]

It was like 83% this year

[lusty zealot]

Now your stress level is higher

Because

You dont know

[left sky]

deadass?

[minor pecan]

Deferred is unironically the worst outcome

[left sky]

i have no connection to them

[minor pecan]

I’d much rather be rj personally

[left sky]

ill take the defer

i have other options

if im not their first choice they're not mine

simple as that

better for both parties

[minor pecan]

🗣️🔥

[lusty zealot]

Ego problem

[left sky]

nah bro just being real here

why would i base everything off waiting till march

like bro that's a long ass time of not knowing where tf imma spend my next 5 years

sure im still gonna apply regular im not gonna withdraw

it's just not gonna be the school i focus the most on anymore

this time im not trolling

don't get me wrong im alright with the defer it just doesn't make sense to hold out on other opportunities for yet another 5% chance

[toxic oar]

harvard bottom feeder school dw

harvard such an L school that they cant decide on 80% of apps

[half topaz]

HUH

WHAT

[hidden bloom]

Real

[glacial karma]

International without interview...deferred too. Saw that one coming tho 😦

[karmic burrow]

3 months to actually enjoy life in senior year!!! Lets fucking goooo

[vague hemlock]

y'all wanted to know about my friend he got deferred
(1540 sat, 4.0 gpa, got interview as an Indian and had a very cool interview, had like international debate awards+he did the rsi-equivalent in our country+he was the school pupil leader of our school, his mom is a un-award winning journalist so his essays were prolly hella slay, excellent lors)

[rancid mural]

[minor pecan]

[vague hemlock]

Yeah i mentioned we're Indian

[minor pecan]

[vague hemlock]

[minor pecan]

[willow onyx]

What the actual hell

Damn isn’t India so big

And like a billion or smt

Damn bro

I’m not applying to any ivy

I’m intnl

This shit is impossible

I HOPE PURDUE TAKES ME

tho

😀

Yeah

So jobs don’t care which school u went

As much as how well u fit

For a certain job

Obviously

And there r so many good non T20 schools in the US

Like Purdue is literally a top 7 from computer engineering

Yeah lmao

But uh

Defo easier than ivies

I’m probs getting rejected

I hope I get innnnn

My essay was so weird

So many ppl liked it

So many didn’t

Idk what to expect

Case western coming out soon

Idk when exactly tho

lol

Mine was about an analogy and two struggles

I got into IU for comp sci

That’s the only acceptance I got

No rejections or deferrals yet

I’m so worried

Nope

Indiana university

Bloomington

They take everyone so I’m not happy

I’m intnl

100% getting rejected from case western

99% rejection

1% deferral

When does it come out

Purdue comes out Jan 15th

U applied to Purdue?

[willow onyx]

Penn state?

Or Purdue

I submitted my SRAR late too

[tropic plank]

👌

[vague hemlock]

yeah fair enough, i think his ecs were clearly legit tho

[rancid mural]

just had a dream that i saw my admissions file and they rated me an E 💀

E is not even a rating they can give 😭

[uncut canyon]

bro was so good they created a new rating

[strange wedge]

E is for Everything we’ve ever wanted

[rancid mural]

yeah lol i was a qb finalist

i dropped the match for harvard (risky asf decision please dont do this 💀)

[uncut canyon]

LOOLLL it worked tho

[brisk umbra]

oh yeah absolutely lmao

i know kids who blame fgli for getting rejected from schools

[rancid mural]

tf 💀

what did we do

[brisk umbra]

i’ve had people tell me i only got into the school i did cus i was hooked

😂

[pulsar pond]

i have a love hate relationship with hooks

[brisk umbra]

it’s like bestie having a disadvantage doesn’t put you at an advantage

[rancid mural]

this is why im not gonna post on collegeresults

the comments would be....

interesting

[brisk umbra]

yeah idk whatever u want to do tbh don’t let jealous people get to you

i got into an ivy league on the day my mom immigrated to the US 21y later

[pulsar pond]

aw that's very meaningful

[brisk umbra]

and that was big for me

yeah

[orchid mason]

I dunno why but people were really happy for me in my own post lmao

But yeah the comments on collegeresults posts tho are usually a cesspool 😭

[left sky]

the only issue i have with fgli kids are the arrogant ones

they can go fuck off

if you humble i mess with you 🤜🤛

[left sky]

i did not get into an ivy league 24 years after my parents immigrated to the US

[rancid mural]

😐

People are happy for you, but you should also be happy to help others

[rancid mural]

how bout no

Like bruh be happy you got into your DREAM school instead of calling others seagulls

That’s just douchey

bro

i had a million dms from ppl asking for my stats

i am allowed to be annoyed 💀

right but you can phrase it better

[brisk umbra]

ya true i had a “friend” who tried to justify putting people against each other and blatantly lying + being jealous of friendships by saying they were questbridge

[left sky]

you did post...what else did you expect it's a2c 😂

[left sky]

some "friend" that is

[rancid mural]

i expected it lol

[reef forge]

Close your dms

Not that hard

[left sky]

calling em seagulls is kinda fucked though ya feel

[reef forge]

Just make it friends only

Not that deep

[rancid mural]

i did 💀

this dude got mad

[brisk umbra]

yeah like you can have trauma from being fgli but bestje you’ve been in therapy over half a decade how are you still this victimizing

[left sky]

especially for the dude pressing you for stats 😂 like they dick riding a dude same grade as them that's highkey sad as fuck

[rancid mural]

i closed dms immediately lol

[left sky]

yall never catching me dickriding a dude for stats

[brisk umbra]

i have generational trauma because immigrant parents and some other shit (like being rural, from a low income community with not many opportunities, parents who have no clue abt applying or getting into college)

[reef forge]

What did u expect lmao have u seen how they treat luck

[left sky]

ofc imma congratulate though that's a huge accomplishment 👆👆

[reef forge]

They think bro is a god

Or sum shit

[left sky]

BRO FR FR

[reef forge]

The meatriding in Harvard chat is insane

[brisk umbra]

but this is literally all disadvantages not what would “get me into a college” lol

[left sky]

like how they gonna be in therapy that long

and get out worse

[rancid mural]

its crazy sometimes

also this chat feels so different now

[reef forge]

Asian immigrant parents can be a lot from personal experience but most of the time they really love you and want to look out for you

[rancid mural]

its so dead

[left sky]

i can't relate but i feel for your feelings ya feel?

[reef forge]

Deferral thread

Went crazy

[late zenith]

Fr so much defers

Harvard 83%

Just fucking reject them

[reef forge]

Hawk drop the sat score blud

[rancid mural]

83% is crazy

[late zenith]

Not out

[brisk umbra]

im not even asian american either though like im romanian dual national

so im just white woman with no clue what im doing

[late zenith]

Harvard just fooling kids thinkin they got chance RD

just say no bruh

[pulsar pond]

how do I write my loci

is it heartfelt or simp enough to write about how wanting to go to Harvard changed my life

[errant hornet]

i think it would be much more helpful to reject

how am i supposed to know if anything is wrong with my application?

[pulsar pond]

ikr so legit

[brisk umbra]

uhhh

[pulsar pond]

mega simp behavior I know feel free to tease me

[vague hemlock]

bro idk about mrs luck they've been inactive since like yesterday?

[pulsar pond]

ikr

@lofty depot girlie how r u doing

we're here for you no matter what

[vague hemlock]

i wouldn't put it that way because your initial essays should've conveyed that
i would instead further show that Harvard is your first choice but also show what you've been doing in the time since you submitted your app

[pulsar pond]

I was literally just taking my school exams and fretting over IB after my app

[pulsar pond]

does it show?

I feel like it didnt show enough simpness for harvard

[vague hemlock]

Uhhhhhh i don't entirely remember

[pulsar pond]

would you mind scanning it again

pls

[vague hemlock]

But i wouldn't overdo the loci like don't phrase it in a way that's like your life's over if you don't get in to Harvard

[lusty zealot]

Harvard was my first choice but i got rejected REA

[vague hemlock]

Not rn sorry but i can do it tomorrow

[brisk umbra]

i got deferred rea and ended up at a better ivy

[rain frost]

my dad is telling how is boss went to community college and transferred to something nobody never heard of and is still the ceo of a fortune 100 company

[pulsar pond]

no problem thank you so much in the first place

[vague hemlock]

np!

[pulsar pond]

problem is I don't believe Columbia will want me anyway

no Harvard is joever for me

[rain frost]

like it’s all about your mindset and your hustle

[brisk umbra]

i didn’t think so either

i got flat rejected til columbia and then columbia went above and beyond w finaid and sent me a bunch of welcome shit from rural committee

anything is possible

[pulsar pond]

did you get into other Ivies

[brisk umbra]

i got wl -> transfer option for cornell

that’s about it tho

most ppl who get into ivies don’t get into multiple

they’re all looking for different things in a person generally

ik columbia is big on musical/artistic talent and public service

[pulsar pond]

what do you think is the core quality Columbia is looking for

[pulsar pond]

alright time to put my musical experience in there

If they consider writing an art

[brisk umbra]

i don’t think i’ve met anyone here who isn’t either cracked at music or art

[pulsar pond]

☠️

no Columbia for me

[brisk umbra]

except maybe some like seas people

i’m trying to think

yeah i can’t really think of anyone who doesn’t do some form of arts

[pulsar pond]

crazy stacked with hooks

or just really talented

[left sky]

yeah im not about to do that

[brisk umbra]

i mean people can get into multiple

[left sky]

to me he's the same as any other dude in this server

just goes to a school with a cool name

[opal night]

?

Let’s not drop someone’s name

[brisk umbra]

it’s funny i don’t even have my school in my name or anything of that sort and i still get random dms

asking to read things and for stats

[pulsar pond]

I'm just speculating

no offense

[opal night]

Oh ok thought you were talking about someone you knew irl

[opal night]

Please make sure it doesn’t go into AA territory or make anyone feel invalidated for their acceptance

Not a function but please specify next time she’s a ytber or something

[ashen carbon]

man i don't know how to write the loci lmao

[left sky]

cuz you got a pink name

[pulsar pond]

I didn't say that

and I do not plan on doing so

[opal night]

Ik kayak said A2C wiki helps + college essay guy iirc

[pulsar pond]

I also said she's crazy talented

[opal night]

Ik just a reminder

[pulsar pond]

cool

im about to spend like 5hrs on that loci

[opal night]

I personally don’t spend all my time watching college influencers and I doubt the other mods do either so I would specify

[left sky]

(thats a lie im going to a party instead)

[opal night]

Have fun!

I think I’m going to start shotgunning today before my rejection 💀 got a list of top premed schools I can apply to by reusing essays

[pulsar pond]

could you share the list pls

i need to decide as well

[opal night]

Well it’s tailored to me idk what essays you have and haven’t written

[left sky]

im gonna chill out on the shotgunning

[brisk umbra]

[brisk umbra]

Yes

[foggy rune]

[foggy rune]

is it true that harvard deferred 83% this year

[left sky]

probably

[pulsar pond]

yes

[opal night]

Would you be fine if I sent them here

[foggy rune]

damn

thats like giving false hope

[pulsar pond]

cool whatever you're comfortable with

[opal night]

https://www.medschoolcoach.com/best-premed-schools/

https://www.collegeadvisor.com/resources/best-pre-med-schools/

They’re all basically the same schools but reordered

[brisk umbra]

had NO clue columbia was #2 premed but that makes so much sense

all the research here is bio/chem/med

[rancid mural]

MY INTERVIWRR JUST EMAILED ME

i didnt know they tell ur interviewer

[pulsar pond]

thank you

[opal night]

Every list just reorders the same schools tbh but one of those lists mentions their college of engineering + applied sciences as being great for premed

[strange wedge]

Dude I’m so motivated to write essays rn

[tiny tiger]

what's the point of ED'ing to harvard if they gonna defer 80% of the students anyways bruh

[strange wedge]

I’m rewriting my common app

[pulsar pond]

let me just go email my interviewer lol

[tiny tiger]

💀

[pulsar pond]

see if he could sneak in any lil info for me

[vague hemlock]

damn what does it say

[strange wedge]

Real

[minor pecan]

^ yeah bruh

[pulsar pond]

you know how much I love harvard honey

everybody in this thread

[minor pecan]

move on already

[pulsar pond]

everybody knows

I'm holding onto every last string possible

[minor pecan]

Find other schools

[tiny tiger]

ayoo, congrats!!!!

[strange wedge]

Yes expand your horizons. It’ll suck for a bit but like that’s life tbh

[rancid mural]

apply to jhu or smth

[pulsar pond]

@minor pecan would you be willing to read my loci eventually

[minor pecan]

No

[pulsar pond]

I'm applying

[strange wedge]

LMFAO

[minor pecan]

I don’t know how locis work

[pulsar pond]

😦 alright I respect your choices

[rancid mural]

ik it sucks but the odds of you getting in after being deferred are SLIM

[pulsar pond]

I know Kace

[strange wedge]

But not 0👀

[opal night]

Harvard honey is not good

[pulsar pond]

but JHU is not looking good for me

[minor pecan]

Harvard isn’t either

[pulsar pond]

my sat sucks too much

[rancid mural]

simping wont make it any higher, so expand ur horizons and try to move on

[pulsar pond]

no school is looking good for me

[strange wedge]

Bro stop😭

[opal night]

My friend got into jhu rd after being rejected Stanford rea

[pulsar pond]

no

[strange wedge]

Anyways deferred people, we got some essays to write. FOCUS UP

[pulsar pond]

but my sat is way below their 25th percentile

for Harvard I just stepped right on

[opal night]

Then don’t submit

[pulsar pond]

not like WAYYYY below

their 25th is 1530

I have a 1490

[minor pecan]

Skill issue

What do you want us to say

[pulsar pond]

Luck I know

[minor pecan]

Just go TO

There is legit nothing we can do

Just play your cards right

[opal night]

Sometimes people just want to rant and don’t want a solution

[pulsar pond]

but i'm just scared TO is gonna be at my disadvantage

I submitted to Harvard

i guess if i went TO for Harvard I'd die harder

[vague hemlock]

didnt you do an internship there

[minor pecan]

True

[pulsar pond]

no

Summer program

the shittier one

ok I just feel like emailing my interviewer sounds like Im ranting

[rancid mural]

the school board government man commented on the fb poost, help😭

[minor pecan]

What’s this going to do

[pulsar pond]

I just want to let him know I got deferred

[minor pecan]

lol

[lusty zealot]

I took the SAT 16 times

[minor pecan]

he’s like 60 yrs old

but go for it if it makes you happy ig

[rancid mural]

he knows

they know ur decision

[pulsar pond]

alright

sigh

[rancid mural]

i did not tell my interviewer he saw it on his interview portal

and was like ok

[minor pecan]

Yeah im pretty sure they know already

[rancid mural]

i took ACT 6 times 💀

[minor pecan]

Cause i emailed my interviewer after our interview thanking him

and i got ghosted

but after acceptance he emailed me

[rancid mural]

same

[lusty zealot]

I didn’t get in

[pulsar pond]

i wonder how do I know if any HKer got accepted

[lusty zealot]

Yet managed this shit

[pulsar pond]

if anybody from my region got accepted I'm done for

could just give up on loci

[lusty zealot]

Life is fucking confusing sometimes

[rancid mural]

im guessing like 3 from Alabama got in

cus 13 get in per year including RD

and i assume most r rd

[rancid mural]

admissions are a vibe check

u didnt vibe with harvard and thats fine

go vibe with another school

[pulsar pond]

i dont care about prestigiousness or what

I care that it's Harvard

[rancid mural]

thinking abt harvard this much after being deferred is only gonna make u feel worse

[minor pecan]

That’s the same thing

[rancid mural]

im v curious abt my december act

💀

[minor pecan]

You have no other reason besides going to harvard other than wanting to say youre that bitch who went there

[rancid mural]

even tho it doesnt matter now

[left sky]

wait

[left sky]

this is the mindset

[lusty zealot]

Kace again congrats on Harvard lol

[tiny tiger]

there's no way to know how many indians got accepted via ED this time right?

[left sky]

like deadass yall gotta relax with the self deprecation

[rancid mural]

harvard doesnt have ed and no probably not

[left sky]

harvard don't want you rn you don't want them rn

take a step back and reconsider your options

[rancid mural]

crimson posted broad geographic stats tho

[left sky]

cuz if you're even applying harvard you probably have hella options

[pulsar pond]

I'm just scared that no school will want me

and I'll end up trapped in my local medical school

I know I really rant too much

and I simp too hard

[left sky]

why is that bad ?

[pulsar pond]

i can't go out

[left sky]

school is school foo

[brisk umbra]

yeah seas is great for premed. seas core fully covers premed req aside from orgo

but that’s super easy to take anywyav

[rancid mural]

15% kinda crazy, i expected less

14% 🤨

[minor pecan]

Thought you said you’re fine with going there

[pulsar pond]

i'm ok

if I have to

[nocturne prawn]

!harvard

[pulsar pond]

it just sucks that I worked so hard to get out and I end up still being there

[nocturne prawn]

whens harvard rea

[pulsar pond]

like local schools in Hong Kong

we don't give a shit about ecs

all we care is grades

[rancid mural]

like 19.5 hours ago

[nocturne prawn]

oh 💀

[minor pecan]

Why don’t you apply to other U.S. schools then bro

[pulsar pond]

I do not need to put so much effort into ecs to get into them

[pulsar pond]

I'm applying

it's just I think my chances are low

even for JHU

[rancid mural]

of course they are

everyones chances are low

[pulsar pond]

I just heard they put Hong Kong and China together

[minor pecan]

Did you think your chances were high for harvard

[pulsar pond]

like wtf that is not fair

[minor pecan]

You applied anyways, right?

[pulsar pond]

no

[minor pecan]

Just apply bro

It doesn’t matter

Shoot your shot

You have nothing to lose

Unless you want to stay in hk of course

[rancid mural]

except like $80

[left sky]

exactly broski

[rancid mural]

might lose that

[left sky]

i aint even pay that im on a waiver 😂

this app was free to me

[pulsar pond]

that's fine i can handle the application fees

[rancid mural]

intls typically dont get them

[left sky]

oh deadass?

[rancid mural]

she not intl

[pulsar pond]

northeastern gave me one

[rancid mural]

but she is upper middle

So its rare

[left sky]

wait do i have to pay again for RD

or nah

[rancid mural]

no

[pulsar pond]

they emailed me for no reason and just told me yo we giving you a free fee waiver

[left sky]

oh

[pulsar pond]

yeah no

[left sky]

alr cool

[pulsar pond]

you're automatically dunked into the rd round

[minor pecan]

Sounds like something ne would do

[rancid mural]

dunked 😭

[left sky]

ill send out a loci today get another LOR over break

[pulsar pond]

I have a LOR from my principle

[left sky]

and wait till march

[pulsar pond]

just gonna ask my school to upload that for me

[left sky]

ah

no stress though

[pulsar pond]

or maybe ask my volunteering place to write me one

[left sky]

there's always gonna be a path for me

whatever fate's got in store for me bring it on 👆

[rancid mural]

yeah

wherever u end up u can be successful

[left sky]

yurrr

he gets it

he?

[rancid mural]

yes

[left sky]

alr cool

[opal night]

Oh wow that’s really cool!

[left sky]

yeah now that harvard's cooked until march

im gonna focus a lot more on other schools

all this decision did was open my windows to other places

[rancid mural]

applicants dropped quite a bit

[left sky]

cuz of them damn essays 😂

[minor pecan]

Scotus diff

[rancid mural]

there was tue same amount of words before

just a longer one

instead of 5 short ones

it was 2 short 1 long

[left sky]

required though right ?

[pulsar pond]

let me just hope there's also less ppl for RD as well

[rancid mural]

required if you wanted any chance at acceptance 💀

[left sky]

different topics --> more brainstorming

[minor pecan]

Go pray towards Boston

[pulsar pond]

i'll do that daily now

[left sky]

nah bro don't dedicate your life toward that 😭😭

like deadass it's a school you're better than that

[grizzled dragon]

im tryna get a research published on Nature. Any tips guys???

[rancid mural]

ur asking for a mental breakdown in march if u do that

[left sky]

exactly

shoot for the stars settle for the clouds

unless you happen to hit the stars

[pulsar pond]

I know what's gonna happen

i feel despair closing in

[rancid mural]

i did some spiritual stuff like lighting lucky incense but i did not dedicate my life to harvard

[left sky]

nah then you taking this shit too serious

my advice is gtfo A2C

and come back in march

[minor pecan]

lol

Bro left

[left sky]

good

bro needed some mental break

cuz deadass that wasn't healthy

[grizzled dragon]

bro some ppl literally be obsessing way too much over schools

like chill

idk how that's possible

[rain frost]

i’m connected with rishab on linkedin 🥱

[rain frost]

me ngl

[tiny tiger]

I see

[minor pecan]

🤔

What

it’s just algebra and trig

and some english

[obtuse pine]

I never studied and got a 1570

[rancid mural]

me when i cant do either 💀

[obtuse pine]

Still got deferred tho

Sat like barely a factor

Rishab has a crazy resume for hs

[minor pecan]

im not trying to get mute again

[rancid mural]

i had a high A in alg and geometry and snd somehow i still got a 27 💀

ive accepted that im just bad at timed math

[minor pecan]

Nah

At the end of the day I don’t really care

The tests aren’t even that big of a deal, they’re probably the least impressive part of the applicants these schools get

I barely ever studied either and did well on the sat

so idt you need a lot of time to prep and resources

[rancid mural]

90% sure the test r just to make sure u know enough to handle basic coursework

[minor pecan]

The easiest math course at harvard prob gaps the sat math

[rancid mural]

what is gaps

[minor pecan]

In this case it means that the Harvard class is much harder

[rancid mural]

a month per concept?

[minor pecan]

1 month per topic dawg?

Was it just a studying issue or what

Lack of motivation?

[rancid mural]

were the concepts like the trig parts?

cus tbh i know nothing abt trig

ohhhh yikes

if i still liked bme i prob wouldve been an autoreject ngl 💀

[obtuse pine]

I wish I did yale rea so I could at least get a feeling about my application

[rancid mural]

engineering is one of the fields where math is essential

100% of mit kids had a 700+ in math last year

u werent taught about parallel lines??

did u apply to harvard

i know what intermediate and college algebra are

intermediate alg is ok for harvard

but u said u almost failed alg

is the near-failing grade on ur transcript?

ok thats better

what abt geometry

an A?

geometry is like a big part of engineering

my math is p weird too lol

freshman: geometry
junior: alg 1
summer: took act, 27 math; intermediate alg
senior: alg 2, college alg, stats

[narrow ether]

stop 4 kids from my hs got in

[rancid mural]

do u go to a feeder or sum 💀

4 kids didnt even APPLY from my hs 💀

[narrow ether]

LMAO

its a boarding school??

[rancid mural]

my school has a 100% harvard acceptance rate

[rigid cloud]

[rancid mural]

i never clowned you for not taking calculus??

[narrow ether]

I don’t know if it’s a feeder tho but it def was at some point

[rancid mural]

i think you've grossly misunderstood the conversation

my school dont got calculus or precalculus

[narrow ether]

‼️

[rancid mural]

rural alabama

a title 1 school

[bitter path]

Ur IB might make up for it, I went test optional for harvard and it worked out, just make sure other parts of ur app makes up for it

[foggy rune]

@rancid mural congrats on Harvard

[rancid mural]

plenty do

no one in my school would take calculus if they offered it lol

they cant afford to offer it to 5 kids

no one goes out of state lol

and admissions here r based on gpa and act only

unless its auburn then they consider rigor

but its very high AR

acceptance rate

gonna make classes at harvard more difficult but they have a precal class for kids like me

[minor pecan]

hmm i wonder if i need to Venmo June $50 or not

[tepid sphinx]

Y

[rancid mural]

wdym u dont think so 💀

imma spend summer learning precal

on khan academy

[late zenith]

Bro u just hate all the time dawg

I always see u here coping

Leave the man alone bro

[rancid mural]

💀

[late zenith]

U were shutting cuz he doesn’t have precalc or smth

[rancid mural]

[tepid sphinx]

[minor pecan]

[rancid mural]

[bitter path]

Gurl im from the uk (that college results post aint me 💀)

[rancid mural]

[late zenith]

[pseudo hawk]

I’ve had 2 Cs in my highschool career, making it 3 now. 2 we’re sophomore year and 1 this first semester.

I’m so fucked

And rejected northwestern to top it all off

[surreal kelp]

did they really reject nobody?? I don't know a single person IRL who got denied

or accepted for that matter

[strange wedge]

Rewriting my common app essay…why is it eating ngl
