Harvard University (2023-2024)

[opal night]

It’s like 53k

They give merit scholarships though

[pulsar pond]

yea totally affordable with some grant from the government

[pulsar pond]

even for rd ppl?

[opal night]

No idea

[pulsar pond]

ooh

emory thinks lors are very important

love that

[steady anvil]

wait @pulsar pond are you hongkongese as well

[pulsar pond]

yes

did u apply to Harvard?

[steady anvil]

no i applied to duke and got deferred

[pulsar pond]

🫂

harvard deferred me

the shithole does not deserve me

but still pls give me a miracle

[steady anvil]

no for real we got this

[pulsar pond]

I need a bombass loci

Edward Youde better gimme that scholarship

[rain frost]

you should invest it

put into some index fund

or put into stocks you pick wisely

[rancid mural]

idk what any of that is 💀

[rain frost]

uh put all your eggs into 500 baskets instead of just one

so index funds like spdr and voo and fidelity has one as well

they will grow your money gradually over time

usually consistent with the market rate of around 14%

at least thats what it was this year

https://www.fidelity.com/

this is a good platform to start investing off of

[queen scaffold]

!harvard

[rain frost]

fidelity also has their own debit card which you can get

[queen scaffold]

!harvardrd

[rain frost]

and that will be synced with your investments or whatever

[rain frost]

they also have a bunch of educational resources to learn about all the different sorts of investments

[rancid mural]

!ivyday

thats rhe command

[queen scaffold]

thanks

!harvardday

[rain frost]

Yale University RD Date

Yale University decisions come out <t:1711666800:F> in your local time
3 months, 10 days and 5 hours until the decision date

ApplyingToCollege

[queen scaffold]

that's the only working comm

[jolly lichen]

what's the alternative? you should probably keep nearly everything in savings

[jolly lichen]

14% is historically optimistic fwiw

and investing is good if you have money to spare and don't have immediate short term needs for it, but your horizon really does have to be like 10+ years

yes, but until then you can get a custodial account where your parents are in charge

[cedar salmon]

no just buy options and donate money to abstractnonsense and his friends

[cold quartz]

bro I got like an 82 this year

and the cutoff was 84

I sillied so many questions oml

[ashen carbon]

wait on the 12a?

wasn’t there like tons of cheating

[cold quartz]

12b

I had an E&M test 12a

[ashen carbon]

ah

[spice owl]

opinions

do I submit a 1460

700 english 760 math

applying for CS btw

gpa is a 92/100 unweighted with my weak point being english

like mid 80's

[minor pecan]

I wouldn’t

but, like all things, it depends

got any hooks?

[spice owl]

so like

you know that ai spongebob livestream that was on youtube over the summer

[minor pecan]

No

[spice owl]

it was reposted onto some tiktok livestreams?

any knowledge?

no damn ok

it had like 250,000,000 views

I made that

[minor pecan]

That’s not a hook

Are you rural? Avg HS SAT? First Gen? Low income?

[spice owl]

none of the above just crazy extracurriculars and great essays

[minor pecan]

Where did you early

[spice owl]

MIT Northeastern and Drexel

[minor pecan]

Results?

[spice owl]

deferred MIT accepted Drexel

northeastern doesn't come out until February

[minor pecan]

What’s your high school’s avg sat

is it high

[spice owl]

idk maybe 980?

[minor pecan]

Hmm

[spice owl]

I know that I'm one of 6 with above a 1400 though

out of i think 153

[minor pecan]

I mean if you say you have good ECs and essays

then idt you need the sat score

[spice owl]

alr

[minor pecan]

cause it would probably hurt more than help in that case

[spice owl]

ok thanks

[minor pecan]

o7

since your high school avg sat is so shit anyways maybe it could help by submitting tho

idk

I can’t say for sure

[rain frost]

fax this year was crazy

[balmy flicker]

Current student. Yes that’s all anyone talks about, but in all honesty we don’t appreciate what we have enough. I can’t stop having people from various different colleges being extremely surprised that I’m going to go get dinner at 11:30 PM when their schools dining halls close at 8

[rancid mural]

@minor pecan when did u get ur aid, like when was the actual money put into myharvard

[minor pecan]

What do you mean

[rancid mural]

like when do they say "ok heres ur aid now u pay the rest"

is it early august

[minor pecan]

Yeah

I think so

Payment was due like August 15

so probably like July?

Idk

[rancid mural]

[rancid mural]

[reef forge]

[minor pecan]

[rancid mural]

[rancid mural]

yale

[pulsar pond]

[jolly hinge]

yale thread kinda boring tbh

[bitter path]

Girl dont be this pessimistic

[rancid mural]

isnt hong kong super small anyway

2/howmanyapplicants

[pulsar pond]

our population is 700k

[rancid mural]

in alabama its 13/300 applicants

[minor pecan]

How did you get these stats

[bitter path]

Which one is the most active

[minor pecan]

What bot is it

[pulsar pond]

for us it's maybe 2/100

[minor pecan]

Harvad thread is the most active one in terms of messages

but it’s dead now

Too many mfs got deferred and dipped

[rancid mural]

thats good odds

[pulsar pond]

well

[rancid mural]

1/50 aint that bad

[pulsar pond]

what do you think when I'm a local student

and almost everybody came from Harvard feeder schools and rich elite international schools

[rancid mural]

its like 2% chance

[pulsar pond]

how about that

[rancid mural]

just be better than them

[pulsar pond]

I also basically have no idea how many people are applying

[rancid mural]

i refuse to believe u have nothing unique

[pulsar pond]

so 100 is an estimate

[jolly hinge]

i ran it through a chat exporter

[pulsar pond]

thank you and I would like to believe this myself

[minor pecan]

How much would you sell a2c for

[pulsar pond]

but if I keep my hopes up about harvard I'll be crying for 3 days again when April comes

[jolly hinge]

idk

[bitter path]

She is literally from hong kong, she has it better than many ppl 👩‍🦼

[rancid mural]

what

[pulsar pond]

like I said this many many times

I'm Asian, I'm female, my parents got masters and doctorates, my shit school ain't got much athletics

middle class who can't afford college counseling

[minor pecan]

Honestly I think

Just get good

Only solution nowadays

[pulsar pond]

and my school has essentially no knowledge about US admissions

[pulsar pond]

you see how I'm just basically giving up?

and refuse to take copium?

[minor pecan]

Why

Give up on Jan 2

not before Jan 1

[pulsar pond]

I mean

I give up on Harvard

[bitter path]

Luck did u manage to get in contact with june

[pulsar pond]

[bitter path]

Dont u have a cat as well 🤨

[minor pecan]

Hypothetically speaking @opal night

Would you pay a ransom for him

[true plover]

what

[minor pecan]

Just curious

[true plover]

luck bud what are u planning

[minor pecan]

Nah im just curious

[minor pecan]

Ye I do

[bitter path]

Somebody get this man an internship, he is loosing it fr

[minor pecan]

No cap

[pulsar pond]

tbh opinion

should I apply to Columbia or Stanford

[minor pecan]

Both

[pulsar pond]

I need to give up one

[bitter path]

Why??

[pulsar pond]

no time especially when I want to put in more effort for JHU, Emory apps etc

[spice owl]

what state do you live in

[pulsar pond]

US citizen abroad

I live in Hong Kong

[spice owl]

damn that doesn't help

[bitter path]

U got like 3 weeks with stanford

[spice owl]

oh actually yes it does

[bitter path]

More than enough

[pulsar pond]

help with what

[spice owl]

drop Columbia it's further

I was gonna go off of range from state

[bitter path]

Just prioritise which one u want the most, and most times the supps are repetitive

[pulsar pond]

im not confident in any of my essays

[pulsar pond]

wdym????

[bitter path]

How much does college consultation cost in HK??

[pulsar pond]

100k+ hkd

plus my mom is very against it

which is why I can't do it

[bitter path]

See if u can find someone random on LinkedIn that has gotten into ur school of choice previously

And ask them nicely

If they are happy to answer few questions, midst convo just slip some of ur supps

[pulsar pond]

my bestie's sister just graduated last year

i fr begged her for 3 years straight

and she refuses to give me any personal advice

[bitter path]

I-

[pulsar pond]

she refuses to read my app, my essays

[bitter path]

Whyy🤨

[pulsar pond]

and basically told me to give up when I get deferred

she's too busy

[bitter path]

Bruh

[bitter path]

What kind of gatekeeping is this

[spice owl]

like if you lived in the US rn I would have based it off whichever one is further from the state you lived in

[pulsar pond]

oh lol

I mean that doesn't rly work for me

[spice owl]

yeah lol

[pulsar pond]

If you have to my "home state" would be cali

all my US connections are basically ppl living in San Francisco

[spice owl]

so yeah Stanford would make sense to keep ig

[bitter path]

Ngl she kinda gives columbia vibes as well

[jolly hinge]

i just realized i can check people's individual stats within this thread as well lol

[stable pecan]

Do I also have the ability

Or just you

[jolly hinge]

i exported the chat

with a bot

[pulsar pond]

yes I am from Hong Kong

[jolly lichen]

that's the most awkward thing of all

[jolly lichen]

my brother

[jolly lichen]

if they did this everyone would be on a full ride

[pulsar pond]

i would still simp for them

but it is getting realistically impossible

so

i'm trying to move on

call it a W for me that I managed to call Harvard a shithole yesterday

[rancid mural]

[bitter path]

Im just saying, even if harvard was my top choice, i would be hella scared to commit this early

Not sure why tho

[rancid mural]

bro has commitment issues

[bitter path]

I genuinely do 😜

[rancid mural]

all it takes to commit is saying yes lol

u dont gotta pay

[pulsar pond]

if I got accepted I will say yes immediately

[rancid mural]

so i was just like yes

[rancid mural]

before u know ur finaid? 💀

[pulsar pond]

I will commit

[pseudo hawk]

Imagine getting in with 0 finaid

[pulsar pond]

@bitter path

[rancid mural]

[bitter path]

[pseudo hawk]

[bitter path]

Kace spare me some change

[pulsar pond]

[bitter path]

I did all my supps like the week before the deadline so im not the best person to ask 💀 but i think kace was deffo more organised

[pulsar pond]

3.5k for Harvard is insane

[pseudo hawk]

[rancid mural]

im not even paying 3.5k lmao

im paying $0

[pseudo hawk]

i just recently got outside consultation tho, so hopefully my essays carry

[pulsar pond]

[pulsar pond]

it's so crazy that u only have to pay this much

[pseudo hawk]

basically my situation rn

[rancid mural]

yeah and im saying i dont even have to pay that much

[pseudo hawk]

ever since i rejected NU (december 15), I've been grinding

[bitter path]

Are they making u work for that 3k

[rancid mural]

[bitter path]

Lemme go cry in the corner

U going to Harvard fully free huh

[rancid mural]

[rain frost]

[pseudo hawk]

LUMINA

LOCK IN

[pulsar pond]

wdym by lock in

[jolly lichen]

define summer housing? I'm not super up to date (cc @minor pecan ). previously yes there was limited essentially free summer housing available but it was prioritized for internationals who couldn't leave the US

[pseudo hawk]

lock in

grind

grind

grind

[rancid mural]

i am getting a ipad and apple pencil and uh, idk what else

[pulsar pond]

idk how much electronics cost

[pseudo hawk]

[pulsar pond]

yeah

[bitter path]

Ipads arent that expensive

[pulsar pond]

so 0% chance for me

[pseudo hawk]

0%?

[bitter path]

Depends on which one u go for, just go for a basic air

[rancid mural]

like 3%

[bitter path]

It will get the job done

[pseudo hawk]

you're just apart of the rd pool now

[rancid mural]

why get basic when i can get the best one

[pseudo hawk]

you compete with me

[pulsar pond]

Look

[bitter path]

Tbf pro and air doesn’t have much of a difference

[pulsar pond]

every year Harvard only takes 2 people from my region at max

we already have 1 harvard admit

[rancid mural]

what else is educationally relevant electronics

[bitter path]

I have a pro and my younger brother has an air and I dont see any difference between our ipads

[pseudo hawk]

that's not a guarantee

[bitter path]

Get a good laptop

[rancid mural]

i have pneumonia

[pulsar pond]

all the other people i'm competing against are rich ass elite school kids

[rancid mural]

oh

[pseudo hawk]

cook up a fire loci and submit it a few weeks before deadline

[rancid mural]

i meant i have one 💀

[pseudo hawk]

[pulsar pond]

[rain frost]

[rancid mural]

uh

[bitter path]

[pseudo hawk]

[pulsar pond]

i do not compete with you

[rain frost]

oh yeah a macbook is fine then

[bitter path]

Then u are good

[rancid mural]

i dont wanna leave like $500 untouched

[rain frost]

ipad will fs help

[rancid mural]

it will go bye bye

[bitter path]

I think the pro is a must if u are doing cs or graphic or some like that

[rain frost]

maybe an ipad for drawing diagrams and stuff

[rancid mural]

i wanna use it if i have it 😭

[pulsar pond]

they cannot possibly put me against you our context is too diff

[rain frost]

but the pro is more than 500

[rancid mural]

i get 1.5k

[bitter path]

Can u not use it in anything else 🥲

[rancid mural]

has to be educationally relevant electronics

[mint portal]

holy shit!

[rain frost]

dou you already have the m2 air

[mint portal]

i guess i'm competing with you

[rancid mural]

yes

[bitter path]

Get some good noise cancelling headphones

[mint portal]

all my hoosier homies hate carmel

[rancid mural]

could i make the case that headphones are educationally relevant

[pulsar pond]

Bose is cool

[rain frost]

oh yeah then an ipad pro, apple pencil, noise cancelling headphones

sony wx1000xm5 or bose quietcomforts

[pseudo hawk]

buddy

[rain frost]

[minor pecan]

I believe so, but you need to apply and be approved for summer housing regardless. Usually you need a solid reason for getting the housing and they do prioritize internationals. Meals are generally not covered afaik.

[pseudo hawk]

Indianapolis is not small

[opal night]

[bitter path]

Nahh i believe u

[foggy rune]

how about RD

[pseudo hawk]

havent applied RD yet, but prob will do upenn, harvard, cornell

i also did EA to IU and Miami U

[pulsar pond]

look into my message history you'll know how much of a simp I am for Harvard

[rancid mural]

is there a dif in ipad air and ipad pro

[pulsar pond]

as if it's not a well-established fact

[rancid mural]

will air be fine for psych and bio

[pulsar pond]

ipad pro has bigger storage i suppose

[bitter path]

Ipad pro comes in bigger

[pseudo hawk]

probably

[pulsar pond]

i think it should be fine

[pseudo hawk]

if you ever need more storage just get an external hard drive

[pulsar pond]

unless you play Genshin on it they should have sufficient storage

[rain frost]

pro is bigger and has more storage and i also can use it as a second monitor for my macbook

idk if the air can do that

[pulsar pond]

also consider one thing

if u wanna get a computer and ipad

[rain frost]

the pro also works with keyboards as well

[rancid mural]

i will never need a second minor so i think im good

[pulsar pond]

would you really need a keyboard for ur ipad

[bitter path]

Im sure kace is not gonna need a second screed for psych

[pulsar pond]

it basically will become just like a computer

[rain frost]

true jus putting the option out there

[bitter path]

Air is fine, it has prettier colours too

[pulsar pond]

cannot agree more

[minor pecan]

Nobody gives a shit about color

[rain frost]

air is lighter and less expenisve

[minor pecan]

when you have a case on it

[rain frost]

but my sister has an air and its pretty solid

[bitter path]

I only got the pro cuz it comes in a bigger size

Otherwise if u gonna use it for general stuff, air is more than enough

[rancid mural]

do i need a keyboard for my ipad

[minor pecan]

Bro

[rancid mural]

i have a macbook

so like

[bitter path]

It makes life easier

[minor pecan]

What the fuck

[bitter path]

But no need

[rancid mural]

ot seems like a waste 💀

[minor pecan]

Just get the iPad Pro

and done

[rain frost]

not really the good keybaord is another 300 bucks or somethn like that

[rancid mural]

so no keyboard

[minor pecan]

No

[bitter path]

Kace, literally get an ipad and a pencil and some good noise cancelling headphones and u are good to go

[minor pecan]

You have mac already

What do you need keyboard for

[rain frost]

i have both of the keyboards, the expensive one is really good the folio one is dogwater

[rancid mural]

idk it looks cool

[lament cypress]

if ur gonna get a keyboard go with the Logitech one lol

[rancid mural]

💀

[rain frost]

but expensive one is not worth

[minor pecan]

Buy AirPods and max ipad with pencil

[pulsar pond]

then what's the point of having a mac

make sure u get apple pencil 2nd gen

other apple pencils are lowkey shit

[rain frost]

yeah

[bitter path]

I dont think gen 1 is compatible with air

[pulsar pond]

even better

so just go with gen 2

[stable pecan]

How tf do I write the intellectual experience essay

[pulsar pond]

expensive but def worth your money

[rain frost]

it isnt but if you're going for the pro make sure the pencil gen 2

[pulsar pond]

had the same issue

[rain frost]

apple pencil is fs worth

[pulsar pond]

i would like to believe that essay is the cause of my demise

[lament cypress]

Gen 2 is sometimes cheaper on Amazon and other places (80 instead of 120 dollars)

[bitter path]

Gen 1 is so annoying, u physically gotta charge it, it’s not magnetic and it’s heavy

Compared to the gen 2

[bitter path]

If kace gets it around aug/sep they do discounts where the pen is eventually free

With ur ipad

[rain frost]

if you still want to get a keyboard these ones are solid but way too expensive

these ones are dogwater avoid at all costs

[bitter path]

I got the magic keyboard… it’s useless if u have a mac 🥲

[rain frost]

havent tried these

[lament cypress]

A friend of mine has those

[rancid mural]

do i need applecare

[bitter path]

Are u clumsy??

[rain frost]

well i never get it but for some people its worth

[rancid mural]

yes

but applecare expensive

[rain frost]

for me its been really usefull but granted i got it for free

[bitter path]

I am not sure how it works in America but here in the uk if u are with a bank they normally offer u some insurance plan

It’s like less than $20

And it covers all ur electronics

[bitter path]

Are u getting it now??

[rancid mural]

no

i am figuring out what i can get

and the cost

[rain frost]

i think thats an option here as well but ive never done it

[rancid mural]

i like to plan ahead

[bitter path]

Wait till back to school szn, u gonna get some good discounts from apple

[rancid mural]

$100 off for education

[bitter path]

Yhh

[rancid mural]

thats yearround

cant order it til mid august abyway

thats when finaid hits

man i want to be in college alrdy, u telling me i got a whole nother semester of college classes that mean nothing? 💀

[rain frost]

ipad pro 12.9in, apple pencil, sony wh1000xm5/bose quietcomfort45, cables, and cases for your devices should be a good list

[bitter path]

I want the sony so bad but i wasted my money on the max

But that shi hurts my head

[rain frost]

airpods?

yeah i didnt really liek them

i returned my pair

[bitter path]

Yhh

[craggy garnet]

@rancid mural did you already make a deposit?

[rain frost]

airpod pros are solid too but they're earbuds

[rancid mural]

harvard doesnt have a desposit

[rain frost]

i kinda need new over ear headphones

[craggy garnet]

why does !verify ask for a deposit

[bitter path]

The sonys are deffo more comfortable and i think the noise cancelling is better

[rancid mural]

cus most schools do

just show ur form

[craggy garnet]

kk

[bitter path]

Yhh those are my go to

I literally have them on rn

[rain frost]

[minor pecan]

i didnt have that aid so im not entirely sure

[bitter path]

[rain frost]

i have the m1 ipad and the 2018 one the m1 one is honestly rlly good

[minor pecan]

i have 16 inch m2 pro and ipad pro

i barely use the ipad ngl

kinda a waste but maybe ill use it in the future

[rancid mural]

harvard has an electronics loan so theoretically if it ended before finaid i could get a loan then pay it right back 💀

[bitter path]

I had the 2020 pro with the touchbar but that mf stopped working so i changed it m2 air 15inch

[rain frost]

same everytime i use it its always as a second inch monitor
