That was my problem before. I didn’t believe enough

[bitter path]

Yepp, most of my supps were done the week before the deadline but I did have a plan for most of them; except for one which I genuinely did not know wtf I was supposed to write about

[strange wedge]

Nah we are all realistically gonna be okkkk

It just doesn’t feel like it rn

But we will

[pseudo hawk]

It’s alright

We got more connections to Boston anyways

It’s meant to be

[strange wedge]

True! Honestly if I go Berklee I wouldn’t be mad one bit

I could crash some harvard and mit parties tbh

[pseudo hawk]

What parties?

they got none

[strange wedge]

Lmao yes they do

They’re mid but they exist

[pseudo hawk]

study sessions are not parties

ik*

[bitter path]

I dont use reddit that often but for some reason I got notification so i just pressed and read the post 💀

[strange wedge]

Lmfao ur goofy

[pseudo hawk]

What more to life is there than to be a silly goofball

being goofy is the best

[strange wedge]

True true

[pseudo hawk]

And lifting

Goofy and lifting

[strange wedge]

Trueeee

I don’t lift tho

Well

Actually I do

Not willingly

Track and field 🫡

[pseudo hawk]

I also run track

Placed 7th in 4x100 relay in state last year

[thick stag]

[pseudo hawk]

nah

I’m “slow” for a track guy

[rancid mural]

whats ur times

[pseudo hawk]

11.32 100, 23.56 200

I think I ran like a 53 400 as well

[rancid mural]

not bad

200 is ass tbf for ur 100

[pseudo hawk]

For track standards / being recruited it’s kinda mid

I got 0 endurance lol

[rancid mural]

yeah

[pseudo hawk]

I’m too beefy now

I’m a power lifter

[rancid mural]

are u recruited?

[pseudo hawk]

that’s my forte

no

[rancid mural]

🔥

I hit 165 on bench just today

[pseudo hawk]

w

Touch and go?

[rancid mural]

btw i run a 11.8, 24.2, 53.4 and a 1:58 800m

[rancid mural]

wym?

[pseudo hawk]

Nvm

“Touch and go” is just regular bench

[rancid mural]

yeah

Regular

no incline or anything

[pseudo hawk]

The powerlifting standard is a paused rep, we just call regular bench “touch and go” to distinguish it

[rancid mural]

Oh i see

Yeah touch and go

[pseudo hawk]

well good job!!

[rancid mural]

gluck with ur apps man

[pseudo hawk]

Thanks

You too(?)

[sick adder]

[pseudo hawk]

That’s quite the difference

[sick adder]

yeah well makes sense tho

[pseudo hawk]

Mine are more close

[sick adder]

sbd sleeves are OP

[pseudo hawk]

Like I got 290 paused a month or so ago and got an easy 315 touch and go yesterday

[sick adder]

[pseudo hawk]

[sick adder]

[rancid mural]

[orchid mason]

Poverty trap moment

Tfw working harder actually makes things worse

[sick adder]

ur a qt btw i saw ur schools post

everyone at harvard is in for a surprise

[rancid mural]

🤨

[orchid mason]

😭

[rancid mural]

got my first collegeresults hate comment

[vague hemlock]

ayyyy show

haters gonna hate fr

[orchid mason]

Tbh my collegeresults hate posts weren't dissing on me for my hooks or anything

They were more in disbelief than anything

[rancid mural]

yeah

that seems to be how it is

[sick adder]

i would've said the same if u weren't so cute

[orchid mason]

Like, my whole post was advice and proof to not sweat about getting cracked ECs and Achievements

Mfs didn't believe me

[vague hemlock]

smh

[vague hemlock]

bro is simping

oats drop the link i wanna see your post

[sick adder]

who wouldn't 😍

have you seen that mythological being

[rancid mural]

transphobia incoming (not on my post, was on another trans kids post)

[orchid mason]

Tbh I think the main source for these hate comments is that collegeresults posts (and chancemes) tbh just don't have enough information to give you actual, true complete look of an applicant

Like, instead of the holistic view that AOs get, including your whole story and context

[vague hemlock]

no i have not

[errant phoenix]

What the fuck.

[rancid mural]

no idea what they mean by "diversity hire" tf did they get hired for 💀

[orchid mason]

They just see the highlight reel and focus on the ECs and hooks

[orchid mason]

Not gonna lie these are the type of people to get insta rejected

No wonder they're bitter 😭

[rancid mural]

ong

[orchid mason]

And then they don't see that their attitude was the damn problem

[sick adder]

nah i know like 10 racist/transphobic harvard kids on the top of my head lmao

those ppl exist

they're everywhere

[orchid mason]

Tbf it's the ivies but still

[sick adder]

bro it's just an institution

doesn't mean ppl cant be racist/homophobic/wtv at those places

maybe less likely but shit they're all over

it's life

[rancid mural]

yeah fr

these ppl dont know my life like the aos did

im still in shock honestly

how did u feel when u got into mit

for me it was like a big sigh of relief 💀

[orchid mason]

I was speechless for like 10 minutes lmao

[minor pecan]

which one of you chicago mfs commented this

no shot you’re not in a2c with those stats

[orchid mason]

Not gonna lie tho I'm still feeling anxious cause QB release letters before colleges update their portals on the EA date

[rancid mural]

bro hes the one who commented before 😭

[minor pecan]

On your post?

[rancid mural]

also r u karma lord 💀

[minor pecan]

No

[rancid mural]

yes

[minor pecan]

I didn’t comment anything

[orchid mason]

Bros still malding bruh

[minor pecan]

I just looked

[reef forge]

Wtf this legit might be college admissions god

[minor pecan]

gotta be cap

[rancid mural]

yeah

i dont believe it, he has no prior comments...

or posts

[minor pecan]

[errant phoenix]

[orchid mason]

Tbf they could pretty much just be lurking

[rancid mural]

ok discords back

just had 7 server outages 💀

[errant phoenix]

so it wasnt j me

[rancid mural]

still have 3

[errant phoenix]

okay

[orchid mason]

Ngl I fully believe there is an A2Cer neurotic enough to make a reddit acount just to be bigoted to Harvard admits

[rancid mural]

oh yeah 100%

multiple acruallt

[minor pecan]

wherever there is light, there will always be darkness

there are no victors without losers

[rancid mural]

@minor pecan whats been ur fav part abt harvard in the 5 months youve been there

or least fav

like what u hated

[minor pecan]

my math prof kinda ass

food is ass

uh

[orchid mason]

💀

[minor pecan]

that’s all I hate hate

I would say

[rancid mural]

how did u makw froends

[minor pecan]

you talk to people

[rancid mural]

like random ppl?

how do u even get in a situation where u need to talk to them 😭

[minor pecan]

beginning of the year

everyone’s meeting everyone

just walk up

[rancid mural]

do freshman seminars help with meeting friends since its only freshman

[minor pecan]

nah they’re useless

well idk

i haven’t taken one

[rancid mural]

i totally will

[minor pecan]

they probably could help

[rancid mural]

they seem cool

[minor pecan]

I think it’s a waste of class personally but you could totally do it

and people do

you can just meet people in the dining hall

since its freshman only

that’s uusually where u meet people at the start

[rancid mural]

dont freshman seminars count toward ur grad reqs tho

[minor pecan]

no

they’re p/f

no credit I think? (this could be wrong)

[rancid mural]

even if it has to do with ur major?

[minor pecan]

Geneds count toward your reqs

Not freshman smr

[rancid mural]

ok so seminar is useless? 💀

[minor pecan]

you can meet people since it’s like 10 ppl per seminar

and some of the topics are interesting

plus it could help having a p/f class

your first semester

so you can adjust more easily

[rancid mural]

yeah but it seems like a waste to take a seminar on adhd that doesnt count toward my rec when i can just take abnormal psychology

[rancid mural]

true

[minor pecan]

I just personally didn’t see the value in wasting a class slot

though many people do take the seminars

especially cause they’re really only a first yr thing so might as well try it

[half topaz]

Take math 55 it will be fun

[rancid mural]

did u have an advisor help u pick classes for the first semester

[minor pecan]

Ye, you have an advisor

[rancid mural]

do u get one over summer

[minor pecan]

End of July ish ye

and you have to meet with them to make your schedule before school stats

and they gotta make sure you’re not on some crack shit trying to take like 6 courses

[rancid mural]

meet w them??

like virtually

or

[minor pecan]

Yeah

Virtual

[rancid mural]

ok good

how many classes r u taking rn

[minor pecan]

Only allowed to take 4 in first year fall

[rancid mural]

oh ok

[minor pecan]

so 4

Most ppl do 4-5 after first yr fall

4 is most common, maybe 10-15% of ppl do 5 in a semester

[jolly hinge]

https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2023/12/14/early-action-2028/

[rancid mural]

they put this disclaimer here for me specifically 💀

[tepid sphinx]

Extension school moment

[rancid mural]

@minor pecan whats ur least fav part of harvard

omg what

why did that send

HOURS LAYE

i sent that before then it disappeared so i asked again 💀

[brisk umbra]

this is actually a crazy comment

[minor pecan]

he’s right

[brisk umbra]

isn’t extension school primarily for like… people coming back to resume their education

aka vets and stuff

we have a similar concept here called “GS” and lowkey… u can have ur options but like… idk that’s kinda icky to say

[minor pecan]

i think so but anyone can show up

i think a month or so ago though the extension people were protesting because their diplomas said harvard extension school and not harvard

and they wanted it to say harvard

so they got shit on by a lot of people here

[brisk umbra]

i mean the gs folks here do the same

the transfer rate is something like 56% for gs

we take vets/community college grads/etc.

anyone non traditional goes thru gs

their diplomas are in english instead of latin like columbia college and they’re protesting so employers can’t distinguish them

also what entails being a visiting undergrad

wait this is actually sick

okay i need to get harvard research and spend half a year/a year in cambridge maybe

[minor pecan]

idt you will get any aid or housinng

for Vus at harvard

[brisk umbra]

it’s ok

i will get it

i’m just asking abt the program

[errant phoenix]

wanna review my harvard essays

[minor pecan]

No

[errant phoenix]

ok

[reef forge]

Lmao

[sacred orchid]

thats crazy

[pulsar pond]

:)Helloooo world

[strange wedge]

Finished rewriting my common appppp NEW YEAR NEW ME RAHHHH

[minor pecan]

bro got deferred and had an existential crisis

[rancid mural]

i rewrote my ps a million times 💀

[reef forge]

Luck can u interview me

For harvard

[strange wedge]

Real. Trust it’s all up from here

[strange wedge]

This is my 7th draft and I actually think this one is good

Lmao I think he was talking about me. I’m all good tho

Lmao nothing😭 I just rewrote my common app…I didn’t like roll around crying or anything trust

[true plover]

mine isnt but who cares

[strange wedge]

It’s alr

[true plover]

cause he got better at writing while doign college apps

[strange wedge]

Cuz I can 😭 and yeah what titxn said

Plus I feel like my og one wasn’t really about me

[true plover]

by being more personal, by improving ur general wriitng, by finding more of ur story,

[strange wedge]

Oh…SKILL ISSUE

I’m joking

I think u just have to be in the mood

Oh nah. I just write

[true plover]

just cause i ahve a plan doenst mean its going to work

thats not how plans work bro

[strange wedge]

Maybe for you…not rlly for me. Idk tho

I’m stuck in college essay mode so I kind of just do it

[true plover]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

no

[pulsar pond]

means either ur ADLC

first generation university student

low income

etc

[pulsar pond]

more like me

[strange wedge]

Like legacy, sports, donations, etc

Sure

[left sky]

yeah some do

often niche sports

ones not easily accessible to underprivileged peoples

is that term PC?

[brisk umbra]

this was unironically me

i understand

[errant phoenix]

whered u get deferred from again

[left sky]

i was happy about defer

[brisk umbra]

harvard

[left sky]

but i heard harvard defer is basically rejection lite

[brisk umbra]

yeah

[left sky]

so im less happy now

[brisk umbra]

no i go to columbia

astrophysics and cs-math

[left sky]

how come harvard defers so many people

[strange wedge]

So there’s hope for us

[strange wedge]

Yeah u ate

[brisk umbra]

absolutely

[left sky]

do they actually think all those deferred people are qualfiied?

[strange wedge]

We will never know

[left sky]

ah

my academics were my weak point

7 AP

3.97 GPA

[brisk umbra]

yeah that’s a lie

7 AP and 3.97 is way more than fine

on par with most other applicants

[left sky]

class rank 100/350

extremely competitive public tech school

my peers are taking 10 some even 15+ or 20 APs

almost all with >3.9 GPAs

the only odd part is their standardized test scores are shockingly low compared to their course load and GPA

[brisk umbra]

i still think ur fine

if it’s a public tech school you prob feed into a lot of other places too

[left sky]

surprisingly our REA/ED results weren't great this round

there were only 3

[pulsar pond]

:(((

[left sky]

which is a lot lower than expected

1 columbia, 2 cornell (1 athlete)

[left sky]

my ecs are alright

athletics was my #1

unfortunately i didn't get recruited at harvard although i was in talks

[pulsar pond]

is it too desperate for me to email my interviewer and ask him what can I do to get accepted in regular

my dad suggested me to do it I feel like it's too much

[strange wedge]

My school is going crazy rn. Brown, Columbia, duke, JHU and then def some MIT tmr im praying

[minor pecan]

i personally would never do that

[pulsar pond]

i don't want to do that too

I'm just going to reach out to faculty of my intended concentration

just say i'm interested in their research or anything

see what would happen

[rancid mural]

do not do that

[left sky]

should i msg my interviewer on insta and update her

or can she alr see it

i have her added alr

[rain frost]

do you rock with keyboards like that

[left sky]

not should

could i

[rain frost]

i love keyboards

[left sky]

lil bit ya

[rain frost]

yuhhhh

[left sky]

i got 4 customs rn

[rain frost]

sick

i got 3

[left sky]

when i graduate im gonna get a 1/1 korn replica commissioned from some chinese dudes

[rain frost]

sick

[left sky]

with my name engraved on it

[rain frost]

i need reps dude

these groupbuys are getting atrocious

[left sky]

dude ik i stopped doing them

i got fucked by mechs and co

out $300 which is quite a bit for a hs senior

since i paid on debit card i can't do nothing about it either

[rain frost]

dude that sucks

[left sky]

ik it pissed me off rlly bad

at least i got my 1 gmk set though

i bought three 😭

[rain frost]

😭

max ive spent on a keyboard is 400

im on a through hole solder kit

nibble 65

[left sky]

mine was like 550

it was a bakeneko60 but i got it cerakoted at my local gun shop

that added quite a bit onto the cost 😭

[rain frost]

with halo clear switches lubed and tape modded

[left sky]

mine are frankenswitches

durock POM housing with a cream stem for the long pole pop

[rain frost]

i love these creative things the keyboard community does

im tryna get back into it

i havent done a keyboard in a hot minute

[left sky]

68g dual stage springs harvested from some random tecsee tactiles i won at a local meet

[rain frost]

creams are sooo nice

[left sky]

creampacas are nice

i wish i kept them cuz i broke them in for around a year

just shoulda spring swapped to something heavier

[rain frost]

might have to buy those next...

[left sky]

you kinda gotta make them LOL

they're like $1 a switch if you buy them aftermarket

broken in some are more than 1.20

[rain frost]

how much would they be separately

creams and alpacas

[left sky]

$46.80+$40

for 72

86.80 minus the mods

and the spring swap

[rain frost]

aftermarket would prob be cheaper then

[left sky]

i swear they used to be cheaper

[rain frost]

what springs did you swap in

[left sky]

i didnt swap the creampacas i wish i did

i woulda gone probably 68-75g dual stage though

[rain frost]

yeah i love these 67g halo clears they're just right for me

[left sky]

have you tried ergo clears?

i've only tried a few tactiles not too many

for extended periods of time

[minor pecan]

dang.

[rain frost]

i haven't

[limpid herald]

when does mit come out

[minor pecan]

tomorrow

[rancid mural]

[rancid mural]

3.22 is crazy

[brisk umbra]

[narrow ether]

[sterile onyx]

[rancid mural]

rd time

[fleet rampart]

gl!

[rancid mural]

wsg

im applying

[left sky]

yooo

[rancid mural]

thanks

[static comet]

do u guys think harvard wants a letter of continued interest?

[brisk umbra]

Yes

you need to submit a loci

[minor pecan]

you don’t have to

i know of defer->admits who didn’t write anything

though i suppose most people do write a loci

[brisk umbra]

it helps to

like massively tho

unless absolutely nothing has changed

[left sky]

when should i do it by?

[brisk umbra]

january

[late zenith]

starting harvard tmr

lets goo

@rancid mural how much hours/time did u spend into harvard supps

they have 5 supps right?

[rancid mural]

awhile

i knew essays would be my main way to get in so i spent the most time on that

[cedar salmon]

Kace did you get in???

[rancid mural]

ye

[cedar salmon]

OMG

Convrats

[rancid mural]

tyyy

[late zenith]

any advice or tips before i start

[rancid mural]

be silly in thw roommate essay

talk like ur talking to another 18 year old

[cedar salmon]

Yooo im set silly is literally my name

[rancid mural]

as for the other supps

showcase a dif part of the ur app in each supp

[late zenith]

is it fine to talk abt some weird quirk/hobbies i have since ig that would be a silly aspect

[rancid mural]

like dont repeat anything

[rancid mural]

yeah

[late zenith]

yeah gotchu

[rancid mural]

i talked abt staying up late, being shy, and liking smash bros

[late zenith]

so essentially dont be one-dimensional

[rancid mural]

thats rhe supp where they want to see who u are when ur not tryna impress an AO

[late zenith]

if i talk abt cars in one supp and a travel experience in another that would be fine right?

[rancid mural]

ye

should be fine

[late zenith]

do u mind if i show a few to you tmr

[rancid mural]

yes

i wont review any

since my app isnt typical my advice on most things wont help

[late zenith]

oh ok yeah

makes sense

[rancid mural]

that was just general advice my consultant gave me that worked

[late zenith]

thanks and congrats again

[uncut canyon]

CHAT WHO LOCKED IN RN WORKIGN ON THEIR HARVARD SUPP APP

[pulsar pond]

brother that is legit the same thing I'm gonna do

[viscid pike]

Where should loci be submitted?

And what’s usually in a loci

Should it include any updates on achievements?

[pulsar pond]

applicant portal

[pulsar pond]

i think so but do your research

[raven umbra]

Do LORs get ppl rejected?

I’m talking about nice LORs but teachers write like shit

[rancid mural]

@rancid mural stats reveal? 😍

[rancid mural]

No

💔

[reef forge]

Yall are gonna drive Kace out of the server 😭

Bro closed dms and is now receiving random pings

[rancid mural]

i deadass closed dms

[reef forge]

STATS DONT MEAN SHIT

[uncut canyon]

bruh

[rancid mural]

did u see the guy who got mad and said "everyone is congratulating u so u should be willing to help them"

[reef forge]

Past a certain point*

[rancid mural]

[uncut canyon]

start saying you lied and got rejected

[rancid mural]

PLS

[reef forge]

Just ignore atp

[uncut canyon]

ngl it would work

[rancid mural]

i didnt know u were being bombarded my bad king

[reef forge]

Lmao I love how u removed harvard out of bio

Tried to get rid of the attention

😹

[rancid mural]

sorry guys the confetti was actually the word "reject" that popped onto my screen

[uncut canyon]

LMAOOO

[reef forge]

Damn I'm sorry

[uncut canyon]

CONFRATS YOU WERE REJECTED!

[reef forge]

Yippee

[rancid mural]

yeah cus my stats mean nothing if they dont know where im from and what opportunities there are here

the aos knew my life from my essays and lors but randos dont

[reef forge]

In general most ivy league admits have similar caliber stats

I don't see the purpose in asking anymore

Comparing won't do shit

[uncut canyon]

if you wanna compare open yt to the millions of bragging teens

[rancid mural]

brooooo i get it hop off me i just asked

[uncut canyon]

no one’s talking about just you

there are so many people bombarding the admits of certain schools

[rancid mural]

before this, i was confused why i couldnt find anyone on collegeresults w a similar background to me and now i know why

[reef forge]

It's not u

[rancid mural]

they all had to delete it

[reef forge]

There was like 50 other ppl

Just as a culmination

[uncut canyon]

if i get into harvard imma tell people the worst advice

[rancid mural]

[uncut canyon]

“yea write about your sports injury”

[uncut canyon]

[uncut canyon]

[rancid mural]

invasive

so ur asking a stranger if theyre poor 💀

[uncut canyon]

it is bro asking someone if they’re low income is fucking weird

[rancid mural]

??????

idc but dalia is right that its a weird question

[uncut canyon]

if they volunteer the info is diff

[rancid mural]

plenty of ppl r more sensitive abt their finances

[uncut canyon]

[reef forge]

Ye

[rancid mural]

harvard dont care

they care that ur intl

but dont care abt the aid part

[uncut canyon]

jhu is need aware for intl probably didn’t help me much lollll

[rancid mural]

girllll

100% got u rejected

dwdw harvard got u

[uncut canyon]

LMAOOO

[reef forge]

Schools like Harvard only accept who they want. If they want you as a student they will give u the fin aid package that they need to in order for you to commit

[uncut canyon]

yea

[rancid mural]

W info thanks 💯

yeah the way its been explained to me is "if harvard wants you there they will get you there"

[mint portal]

@rancid mural what did you put for the how do you hope to use your harvard education

thing

[reef forge]

^

[rancid mural]

i talked abt research i plan on doing

and my career

[mint portal]

so like an academic field/subject

[rancid mural]

and how harvard's resources will help w that

[mint portal]

that you hope on contributing towards

[rancid mural]

ye

[uncut canyon]

kace what med speciality do you want if you’ve thought about that lol

[mint portal]

okay im doing the exact same thing but im not sure if it sounds kinda bad ngl

[rancid mural]

psychology probably, like studying psychiatry

[uncut canyon]

that’s so sick

the coolest people i’ve met have been psychiatrist

wait that sounds sad

i meant like

[rancid mural]

💀

[uncut canyon]

they’re really cool people

them an anesthesiologists are so cool

[rancid mural]

anesthesiologists dont rlly have to deal w angry patients so their innocence is kept

[uncut canyon]

yea that’s true

[raven umbra]

Kace, did u submit ur sat

[rancid mural]

ACT

[raven umbra]

What was ur gpa and ACT

[rancid mural]

No

[uncut canyon]

JEESUSS

I FEEL SO BAD IM SORRY KACE

[raven umbra]

I’m applying test optional and scared it won’t work

[rancid mural]

what was ur sat

[raven umbra]

1400

🫤

[rancid mural]

test op is best option then

just wait it out

[uncut canyon]

fighting the urge to say cc everytime someone says their sat

[mint portal]

i feel like it's just really scary being an anesthesiologist

because what if you put someone under

and they never wake up again

[uncut canyon]

true

[rancid mural]

yeah cus what if u give someone too much morphine and then poof

[mint portal]

1590

[raven umbra]

@rancid mural do you think ur essays carried u or u had rly amazing ECs?

[rancid mural]

essays

[uncut canyon]

cc fr it’s joever

[raven umbra]

And deferred from Stanford?

Omfg

[reef forge]

2380

[raven umbra]

wtf

[reef forge]

So close man

[rancid mural]

sat isnt everything

[mint portal]

im just not built like that man

[raven umbra]

So test optional is not a rejection sentence

[rancid mural]

theres like so many parts of someone's app

[rancid mural]

not always

[reef forge]

I took the sat when I was 8 and haven't taken since

They switched the format when o was 10

[uncut canyon]

ofc many people go to

[mint portal]

sat is an objectively shit measure of academic competence in my opinion

[rancid mural]

p sure about 18% of harvard admits were t/o

[raven umbra]

There’s literally just gpa, awards, sats if provided, and essays

Did I miss anything

😭

[mint portal]

also extracurriculars

it's more about who you are as a person

[reef forge]

Thoughts on 2380?

Am I cooked

Did I need that 2400

[raven umbra]

My ECs are good but not cracked

[rancid mural]

theres also lors and school profile (context)

[raven umbra]

Can good essays carry

[uncut canyon]

yea you’re going to cc

[reef forge]

My shit is all local so I may be finished

But it's ok we can't all be harvards

[raven umbra]

.

[rancid mural]

when the aid office still hasnt told me how much money theyre forking over 😤

[sterile onyx]

Did u give them good resources to write from

[uncut canyon]

i love being mean on the internet it’s like being mean irl but less consequences!!!

[raven umbra]

Like what

[sterile onyx]

Usually if you talk more about ur achievements, personal life like in ur essays and send to them teachers like to quote

Thars what my english teacher did

[raven umbra]

LORs matter much?

[reef forge]

Kace wants that stipend

[mint portal]

i think i'm going to try something interesting with my application

[sterile onyx]

They’re not heavyily emphasized

[raven umbra]

My lors are probably really good but lack professional writing

[sterile onyx]

But good ones can change ur app

A lot

[mint portal]

i will artifically manufacture a spike

[raven umbra]

Or at least good writing

How’s that my fault

[sterile onyx]

Did u ask an english teacher?

[raven umbra]

My teacher doesn’t write well

[reef forge]

I did that for gtown through my essays

[mint portal]

because right now i feel like there's too much stuff to cover

[reef forge]

I scammed the AOs

[mint portal]

you know what i mean?

[reef forge]

[sterile onyx]

Usually u need to ask someone that really knows u

[raven umbra]

Yeah but still, she wrote it in an hour

Idk how that’s possible

[rancid mural]

im 90% sure that "school support" is a category that they rank

[raven umbra]

Ok like less idk

[sterile onyx]

Possible

[rancid mural]

which is teacher + counselor lors

[mint portal]

it's easy to write a letter of recommendation under an hour

[uncut canyon]

my artificial spike is my weird interest lol

[reef forge]

Legit everyone tells me I'm well rounded

[rancid mural]

i have a question for d americans

[sterile onyx]

My teacher wrote our final project model within a hour

[rancid mural]

how much should u brag in ur app

like

[raven umbra]

My counselor may have used ChatGPT because he’s annoying

[reef forge]

Yuh

[raven umbra]

I’m so mad

[mint portal]

it's unreasonable to expect someone to take a solid week's worth of time just to writing about you

[rancid mural]

im scared of coming off as

pretentious

[uncut canyon]

i’m like pls think me being a nerd is cool

[raven umbra]

I hate rec letters

[rancid mural]

and whatnot

[uncut canyon]

CHAT GOING TOO FAST

[rancid mural]

mine submitted my qb lor in 2 hours and i got so fucking scared 💀

[mint portal]

sell yourself

but not too hard

[uncut canyon]

my eyes

[reef forge]

A lot. College applications isn't the time to stay humble imo

[sterile onyx]

DALIA SPEAK FASTER

[rancid mural]

BROOOO

[raven umbra]

Will I get in trouble if some recommender used ChatGPT?

[rancid mural]

what if it's cringe

[sterile onyx]

No

[rancid mural]

i was like oh no she just wrote "kaesyn sucks" as my lor

[sterile onyx]

The counselor would get in trouble

Not u

[uncut canyon]

bro my teacher submitted it late

[rancid mural]

alr

[uncut canyon]

😊

[reef forge]

No

[sterile onyx]

I doubt the counselor would put their job at risk like that

[uncut canyon]

i hâte m’y life

[mint portal]

if it takes them more than like five hours to think about your positive qualities and how they can present them then maybe they don't have a positive impression of you 💀

[raven umbra]

Okay nice

[rancid mural]

so being braggadocious not a problem

[mint portal]

it is a problem if you make it a problem

just use your judgment

[rancid mural]

what does tht mean

[mint portal]

honestly

[reef forge]

Fr one of my LORs got submitted in August 😭

[rancid mural]

here in asia we like to stay humble and use actions to prove ourselves

[raven umbra]

My sister applied to case and she’s literally crying from now

Her dream school

[rancid mural]

writing shit down making me sick

[reef forge]

Well overly bragging isn't good

[raven umbra]

I really hope she makes it

[mint portal]

i mean let's use a shit analogy to describe this

let's say someone asks you

"hey is your friend a cool person"

or some shit

and you take 30 minutes to respond

[rancid mural]

but ik a random american kid with a less impressive activity/quality can make it sound better by bragging 😭

[reef forge]

I'm Asian too bro trust me my parents humble me enough on a daily basis this is my only way to brag 😭

[rancid mural]

FKN HELL

[uncut canyon]

if i can get an interview to harvard i think it’ll help cus im a qUiRkY person yanno

[reef forge]

That's legit college apps it's all about framing

[rancid mural]

fr

[uncut canyon]

like if i get started on talking about my interests it’s over it’s your interest too now

[reef forge]

If u get interview at Harvard it's a good sign I've heard that they're seriously considering u

[uncut canyon]

[reef forge]

We got a master yapper in chat

[reef forge]

[reef forge]

My interviewer showed up 10 mins late and my total interview was 20 minutes where I asked more questions than she asked me

💀

[uncut canyon]

they only have 10% of intl on aid like wtf

[rancid mural]

he kept cutting me off tho

but i took it like a champ

i was kinda worried cus my interview was only 45 mins but i sent my resume and interests before hand

[uncut canyon]

how many extensions is hofstra gonna give me before they give up

[rancid mural]

[viscid pike]

[viscid pike]

[reef forge]

Bro I read the handbook and it said interviews should be 45-60 mins ideally and mine was 20 I legit thought I was fucked

[reef forge]

Will def help

[rancid mural]

i think me going to intls for a psych comp was like my only good award 💀

[reef forge]

Shit that's more than me

My awards were all basic

[rancid mural]

the reason i avoided harvard for early is cuz last year 3 ppl from my country (low inc) got in for the first time

so like

yes

my thought process was

oh what if they dont this year

💀

prob med school > psychiatry or phd > psychology

[uncut canyon]

DISOWN YOU FOR MED?

[rancid mural]

i think cus its not physical medicine

[uncut canyon]

most people get disowned for not doing med

[uncut canyon]

ahhh yea

[rancid mural]

crazy bro

my psychologist is who made me wanna study psych 💀

cus i was like yo this dude is cool

[fringe kayak]

i forgot to say congrats kace😭

[uncut canyon]

my first psychiatrist made me really want to be a doctor

the way he took time out of his breaks to see me

and make sure i was happy

he told me his life story

he cared a lot more than anyone else in my life i want to be there for someone like that

which reminds me i need to work on that email

omg same

my therapist is 850 dhs an hour but they gave us a lower cost cus of the situation

so like 200 dollars

ish

[rancid mural]

mine saw me 3 months earlier than they were supposed to cus of circumstances 🙏🏽

[uncut canyon]

my old psychologist was so nice that when my parents didn’t have jobs and she didn’t want me to go to a less experienced person we would have 15 minutes free

i hope you’re better now

i think this might be my last session with my psychiatrist cus she’s like talking to me softly and i’m turning 18 💀

[rancid mural]

i have made a rule that im not allowed to listen to sad music in college 💀

[uncut canyon]

this is so fucking real

but the front bottoms are so good

but if DBT taught me one thing

is that there is a time to listen to them and most of the time IT ISNT

[sterile onyx]

Wait sad music helps make me stufy

[uncut canyon]

woah that’s deep

nah i’m being fr

“i’m 14 and this is deep”

kace if you can tell where this is from without google translating it i will give you a bonk:

雪花飘飘 北风萧萧
天地 一片 苍茫
一翦寒梅 傲立雪中
只为 伊人 飘香
爱我所爱 无怨无悔
此情 长留 心间

(hint: it's a song)

(a very famous song)

oh wait i just realized it said asian and not chinese

💀

[sterile onyx]

Xueee ee hua pIAAAo PIAAOoo

[strange wedge]

Doesn’t need blind insinuate that they don’t consider your financial needs? It’s need-based I thought

[rancid mural]

they dont consider it

need blind means ur ability to pay isnt considered in admissions
