I thought it was statistics
I would avoid people like u irl
Did i?
Wait gen ed? Like general education?
ye
Am I slow
I only know what two of these even are
How does anatomy factor into general education 😭
What’s on the roster
More math nerd classes probably
Ima ping you when I get accepted to monsters university trust
bro I'm cooked for next semester too
all my gen eds are done I just have pure science classes
Nooo no you guys got it
it's gonna be so bad
Data structures and algorithms
Theoretical lin alg and real analysis
Statistical Inference
MANADATORY WRITING CLASS
Something at mit maybe
Depending on where u are, I’m sure you’ll be ok
Unless it’s MIT then yeah sorry ur dead
I'm worried just reading this
LIN ALGGGG…idk why it’s theoretical but Lin alg is seggsy
I had too much free time this sem ngl
ok the stat course is a maybe
but we’ll see
If I’m dying in the first week then ill keep it
What do you define as too much free time
Like an hour a day
Fair fair
I had like
Wild😭
Wait what school are u at…if u don’t mind sharing
So you got A's without studying
Hopefully it’s better
That's even worse
Ahhh classic
public school in texas

Wwwww
Ut Turing
LMAOO quite the opposite actually
Nah that’s a community college idk what you’re on about
You’re the biggest nerd
Cap
If I'm a nerd what does that make you
Oof
Lucky person
Huh
Idk
Wait luck have u taken any humanities courses

Idk myself
I just make them up
I see
I have a humanities course lines up next sem tho
Which one
Oh no how will you survive
Mandatory writing class
Ooooh
What if they make you read a b-bb-book 😨
He won’t…that’s the thrilling part🍿🍿
I’m up
Actually nah
Kids a rocket he’ll be fine

Luck thinks I’m an IDIOT
Do not say 5
But
I didn’t get a 5 on lit

You know what actually ate me up tho

Damn
@rancid mural cook him
Abcde my dawg
Type shi
Though I will take some precautions
Elaborate
😐
I think she threatened to blow my house up a couple of times
Nothing tide pods can’t fix
I was 15 at time of grad and 11 at the end
YEAH U TELL EM
And I'm not scary
And I never threatened to do anything to your house
Is it because I'm arab
Yes
You're so racist
They already know
Luck has a history of micro aggressions
Yeah we know
He's always racist to me
4-5
Out of curiosity
Can I guess
I would say his mom's biryani
No
Ok that’s better than what I thought you’d give me. I’m guessing the other half if due to lack of knowing me
Dang I thought I got that one
Nah
I just don’t like you
Oh
Bro luck tell me why my quran teacher came up on my friends tiktok
Let me send it to you
be nice luck
AYE WE UPPP
lmao it’s chill it’s chill
What’s that mean
Idk
Oh ok
For chronically online people
Oh I see
LMAO
I think my last dinner would be some Tres leches, some Udon, aaaaand maybe grapes
Love me some grapes
Mine would be anything made by my grandma
So wholesome
I’ve been staring at these essays for too long
But my yearning to get outta the house next year is my only motivation rn
RAHHH
Oooh that’s a w idea
Wanna be my getaway driver?
I’ll sit at the back to respect your personal space
Take a nap. That usually works
Bye bye
…mhm!
But I'm the nerd
Like???😭
He's so weird
Been sayin this since day 1! But aye, ig we all are to some capacity
True seeing as we're on a2c
@minor pecan dyk how many hours per week ppl usually work
Tbh I forgot about working in college
Well
Do you mean work work outside of school
or work as in schoolwork
Well
Considering that the median income at harvard is $170k
I only know 2 people that work actual jobs (excluding research, internships, etc)
and they’re both intl
and they work like 4 hrs
per day
so do u think like 5 hours 3 days a week is manageable
Yeah, easily manageable IMO if you have a decent schedule and manage your time
5 hrs is super manageable
super easy
can a current harvard student read my "how would ur life experiences allow u to contribute to harvard?" essay?
like ~10 is normal
but people also do like research and clubs and all that
which are usually unpaid and take a lot of time
just a matter of what distribution of time you want for yourself
can definitely do more or none
what? 😭
Right, but I'm assuming it's important to you, and it makes for an interesting extracurriculur.
Absolutely include it
Not all ECs are academic
They just make you you
Modeling could be a good spike in your application
As long as everything else is up to par
Matt, the whole hollistic process of applying to college is supposed to be vain. You're supposed to brag about what you're good at
Just don't word it like you're some self-centered narcissist
Challenge stereotypes: what do YOU bring to the table that other models might not have?
Blend ideas: What have modeling and doing x done for you?
True
Deferred mfs crying in the corner and unable to type
Accepted mfs no longer have a point in typing
People who didn’t apply aren’t here
People in the process of applying are in the trenches
QED
Circle of life
real for that
but nobody wants to admit it
anyways
I'm coming to the conclusion that I can only edit my drafts so many times
Like they're starting to sound good, but idk how much I love them
@minor pecan Give me inspiration. What should I focus on? Rewriting my ECs tab? Write for other colleges? (lame) Something else?
Nothing
Absolutely nothing
Just asking if you'd throw your hat into the ring
I'm bored and feel like being productive
I think
Writing for other colleges makes most sense
Idk why you would rewrite your ecs tab
There is but I haven’t used it so idk if it’s good
and afaik they only do stem (math, cs, etc) and writing classes help
tho that could be wrong
Classmates will probably be your best bet
study sessions, office hours
Ya
Office hrs and sections
prob good enough to the pt where you don’t need a tutor
Luck how long is harvard winter break
1 month
aight thats fine
there's free tutoring through ARC yeah
Is this school actually worth applying to
no dont apply (im eliminating the comp 🔥 )
Erm... According to the Law of Large Numbers, such a minor decrease in competition becomes neglibile because the number of individuals applying is so high.
Like everything about Harvard is just like huh
🤓
dont apply for the name
i actually researched the school and am interested in it
although the name obviously carries importance in some regard
I was going to apply bc my mom wants me to
Idk how mad she’ll be if I drop it
my parents dont give af anymore
And let’s bffr a solid amount of their applicants are applying for their name 💀
they told me to stop applying
My dad said this
i feel that this year the applicants will go down
But my mom was like Harvard 💯
Why
- scandal 2. they have 5 essays now instead of 1
Oh real
the ppl who did it just for name some will still do it but some wont bother since its far more effort
yale and columbia are somewhat self selecting in this way
since their supps arent easy
but who wants to live in nyc
I love Yale sm
boston betta
you can acknowledge that yale is a good school, Luck
True
i like the celtics and the red sox
just bc u go to harvard doesnt automatically make yale shit
so that'd be a dream come true
It’s really not
YAY FELLOW BOSTON SPORTS FAN
Yale is literally just a discount harvard
W
They’re shit at nearly everything stem
my parents met in boston
They’re located in a shit neighborhood
i was born in boston so ima represent
It’s just a place for Harvard rejects
harvard needs to lemme in
I wanna be in boston so bad
so i can go back 🗣️
which is why harvard needs to let me come full circle
cambridge is basically boston
didnt u get in?
I should have gotten in based off of those alone
imagine purposefully burning your campus to make it look "older"
EWWWW
No they rejected me 😔
But let me tell you
My essays were amazing
Like so good
okay buddy..
bruh u rlly lied to me 😭 or maybe it was luck. one of yall told me that u got into yale and turned it down due to cost
tbh
GSW on top
Me and luck lie a lot
do you go to a t20
You shouldn't believe anything we say
Did you end up going to unc
cap
Nooo lol
Nope but I did get into one
KC chiefs.. KU college basketball.. Boston Celtics.. Notre Dame football.. Red Sox..
😵💫
All have family / some ties to the region
bro
which one
touch grass
never
go lift some weights or something
true
UNC LMAO
that’s like the one thing you’re good at
barely counts
nah you're right
@minor pecan can we go frolicking in the meadows later?
ok im ngl i rlly liked unc until i found out about their shitty major rule
apparently u have to apply for business end of freshman year
and if u dont get it ur fucked
Aww
so its for 2nd years and up?
it's just not direct admit
ye and im not tryna go there and then do liberal arts
many schools have certain majors that are like that
weird
nursing is usually like that
REALL
i was gonna apply just to don that beautiful blue ngl

their football uniforms omg
yea ur smoking
Unc is pretty
?
NC as a whole is beautiful nature wise
@rancid mural also i used to stay in raleigh so i would know so many ppl if i went back
harvard/duke are my only shots to go back to my previous friends
lol I was born in NC
oh
I live in texas
i think i was 1.5 when i left boston and 4 when i left NC
so im basically a texan
smh
(utd)
No
oui
nope
It’s ok med school will clutch up
it will
4.0 this semester made me feel better ab it
bro I literally do not
utd cope kicking in rn
not me 👆👆
im always baked no brain left to cry in the corner
it did for rea
down by about 1.5k
Harvard said no to me
interesting
tbf I am a lot more confident in my harvard application than I was with my NU app
like my ECs look pretty cracked on paper (although like none of them are academic) and my essays are coming out nicely
so we're gonna be wishfully-optimistic this time around 🥹
dont be
I was too once
you crush them
not at harvard
did you apply to harvard
aren't you cracked?
i'm still pretty new to the server so idk 😭
top academics, good ecs, good lors, idk
ok my sat is pretty mid but we're not submitting.. i was literally up all night before cuz I was sick, threw up 5 mins before I sat down to take the test
What did you get
I submitted a 1490
I also regret that
I fr dont know how I couldn't get to 1500
but hey, my friend went to with a 1370 last year and got in sooo
my goal was 1500+
but we never got there. now im focused on essays and ecs
At a certain point that becomes more conducive
my last projected test was 1470
true
which is why i switched focus
What's your major
bro described every harvard applicant
econ with concentration in like industrial organization
😲
last year?
I was always going to end up where I go now I was just delulu to think otherwise
interesting
yeah
i find it interesting at least!
im gonna keep guessing
do you go to UT
I got rejected from 29 of the 30 top schools in the US.
You don't have to
wait
its ok to be confident but dont become consumed by a school
silly question
harvard RDs get the same amount of interviews / ao interviews as REA do, right
does that mean i have less of a chance to get interviewed?
i was confident in my app but prepared in case of deferral
no ur fine
she is in my grade and muslim and her parents said she has to go to UTD until she gets her arranged marriage at 20 years old then she can transfer out if she wants or do whatever
LMAO pls
well it depends
i've only had 1 interview
INTERVIEWS ARE NOT A BIG DEAL
and that was northwestern
PLEASE CALM THE FUCK DOWN LMFAO
in rea, they only interview those who they need more info on. typically those without interviews r deferred
chris
i think rea is availability but rd they only review the ppl they want more info about
my situation is somewhat similar minus the UTD and the arranged marriage part
i am calm
for rd, im not too sure
you're the one speaking in enlarged, bolded characters
i assume its the same process of needing more info
rd is usually if theyre considering you, you get an interview
for ao or alum interviews
if they didnt need more info on me there was 0 reason to interview me
alum
mostly abt my background
which is how ik they specifically told him to
too many questions about my town and school for it to be natural
ic
caught the Harvard AO lackin
yea im still gonna be hopeful, but i'm satisfied either way
an AO interview would be incredible tho
they wanted you so bad
they didnt use general questions that means u are special
yeah i wanted one so i could explain my situation better but ig my boy ken did me me a great service 💀
my boy ken is wild
so interviews are inherently a good thing, right? they're not tryna poke holes in your application / reveal red flags
kace is buddies with the AO
i think for harvard RD its a good sign
not a guaranteed admission
well true
can be either
but ao interview basically means 50/50 right
just means they need more info
yes
i became such a stats major tryna calculate my admissions chances 💀
i gave up
ps i hate matj
lol
it's never that serious
bro I regret all the time I wasted
caring about this stuff
i just wanted confirmation so i could rest assured that i got free college
that's true
i had 41 rejections before MIT, it could be worse, just remember that
harvard admit
Kace better watch their back 
i understand what ur saying
its just cus no one is like me 💀
yes
me and some of the MechEng Students and admits are already planning snow weapons for this coming winter 
i dont get a cool one thi
glad the harvard acceptance didnt go to your head
no u can ask luck what i mean
idk
my demographics r interesting
I see
i seriously doubt anyone in the co28 the same demogs 💀
why are you so special
I don't mean that in a rude way
like I mean it in a fr way
let me find
the post
i think cuz there isn't a lot of promise in rural alabama
sorry if i worded / explained that poorly
alabama 😟
just what i got from reading
ok i cant find it ill just retype my demographics
- black
- rural alabama
- firstgen college student
- low income
- title 1 high school
- transgender
also adopted
forgot that
damn
you good bro

you deserve it im sure
harvard will be fun
kace does your school do class rank
bro had hooks in the womb
yes
u val?
bro is the a2c dream
lie
bro is every college's dream
i was the only applicant in my school
i got it wrong on post
where did your class val apply
#6 was at the end of junior year
#4 includes my summer classes
auburn
who here likes spicy food
luck did I tell you about the val controversy at my school
typically top 10% go to auburn
the one where Val and Sal were dating ?
no that's different
like yes they did date but thats not what I'm talking about
why do u have multiple val scandals 💀
my school had a lot of drama
🤔
basically the guy that was val since our freshman year got demoted to sal in the last possible moment
Ouch
and his dad got mad at the school and accused them of "dirty school politics"
because a girl beat him
Ouch
but let me tell you
lowkey hoping that happens to the '25 val 🔥
this girl that beat him
she was stupid
like no way she was better than him
🤔
bros hating
this guy was a genius
like her and her twin ended up in top 10
and everyone was shocked
she calls me "it", she can be #160 for attitude 💀
because they give major ditzy vibes
ok nvm she deserves to fail
Lol
but maybe they were so smart that they made us think they were dumb
so they could get ahead
i bet the math teacher wasnt shocked
Probably this
over UT?
but i mentioned what she did
Keep your friends close enemy closer something something
ew i hate that cult
we dont talk abt the fact that i was at one point considering it over ut
like my school had these other twins that were amazing at swimming
like recruited by every D1 school
hook em tho!
they pciked TAMU
wtf
wild
real
yea if it comes down to it ill go to ut
their acceptance package is far better
Ut is goated kinda ngl
i feel so bad for him bc he legit lost out on 10k
but there’s another ut school that gaps them
nah sal still gets the free tuition
instate val that goes to a texas public gets tuition free first year
I will not state its name tho
lmfaoooo
no itsn ot
im p sure
its not
i know a girl who lost it last minute
bc of some stupid teacher who wouldnt round
last years val at my school lost it bc he got a B in film at the very end 💀
bro was val for 4 years
and decided he didnt care anymore
in 2nd semester film
mhm
otherwise mit 27 right in front of our eyes
what made u stay in a2c after becoming a college student
me personally im getting tf out dis hoe as soon as i commit
so cap
I didn’t use a2c basically after May

No

So min wage

Min wage is 15

in alabama $20 is crazy
😭
about 10
i made 9.50 + tips

i made $12/hr at walmart
so $20 is an improvement
Lmao this is a wild statement 💀
no i worked there before
oh and ur re-applying to the same one
yes
bro thats literally the worst part of the job
They probably majored in cs
they smell really bad
do u think u will get it

Oh

maybe she feels bad for me
research
rlly hope i like mcb so i can snag a bio internship 💀
Just do research if you want premed
im a licensed phlebotomist but I should not be
Internships useless
i like my current one but math scares me too much to actuallt say i wanna major in mcb
no one should ever let me get near them with a needle
💀
I can open someone's chest to compress their heart.
I'm telling you I studied for the exam the night before and somehow got the highest grade in my class it's a joke certification
Clamshell Thoracotomy
I think I'm gonna renew it anyways though
i do hosa rn
So I can keep it on my linkedin
compete in psychiatry/psychology 🔥
I did hosa back in the day....
what kinda certs did u get during hs
So you could insert an IV if you wanted
technically im certified to draw blood idk if IVs falls into that
try ALS on for size @rancid mural lol
phlebotomists cant do ivs im p sure
it takes a lot of training
p sure u have to be an RN
I have certification in ALS lol
but again thats different
i gotta do 7 live ekgs in 1 semester 💀
not too hard
who the hell do i ekg on
You’re mit 28? @proper violet
HUH??
from the sticking every day
bro how is that legal 😭
ye
Ok
we would do it on other students in other classes
we gave them candy
IN HIGH SCHOOL????
yes
what the fuck
bro my teacher will not let us near needles at all
too many weirdos
and dangerous ppl
once I drew a guys blood and he asked to keep it
he got mad when I said no
💀
bro wanted to create a biological weapon
@rancid mural quick test mf
hes dying or healthy or having an MI or going into afib or going into vtach or one of the million other heart things
or he just got his ed college decision
Thats Wolff-Parkinson-White Type A. You have a lot of studying to do.
ive only read the first chapter 
So only ventricular arrythemia im guessing
isnt that just vtach
shit like this
or vfib
bro that looks so wrong
his qrs and qrs'ing
r u ok
you said you’re MIT 28?
Yeah
hmm
interesting
ok
I’ll believe you then
me personally I think it’s -17+5sqrt(13)/6
you’re prob right
my friends parent (who is an interviewer for harvard) said that they interview as many people as they possibly can for REA...he said generally every REA applicant in my city , "competitive" or not gets one
both can be true
im talking abt priority
huh
if they need more info immediately, you get one a few days after submission
oh
if they dont need it for the first round/decisions, you may get it mid-late november
in general they will always want more info
typically those without interviews r deferred then interviewed in rd
yeah i got mine mid nov
same
🤔
i provided a lot of info in my early grad essay
which clarified a lot
and also i cant imagine it was easy to find an interviewer for me 💀
seeing as my interviewer lived an hour away from me 10 years ago and now lives in nyc
what does harvard mean by
Select “Yes” when asked “Do you feel that your financial circumstances might qualify you for an application fee waiver?” Confirm that you meet at least one of the indicators of economic need.
If you do not meet one of the indicators of economic need, select “You can provide a supporting statement from a school official, college access counselor, financial aid officer, or community leader.” Harvard will not ask you to provide a supporting statement and your application will not be penalized if you select this option.
like doesn't common app automatically email the counselor about a fee waiver? or does the school usually do that? is harvard saying that even though common app says that counselor will be contacted, harvard, won't contact? im confused
like
do you meet the requirements for a common app fee waiver
if you do then click yes
if you don't then no
but it says "if you do not meet one of the indicators of economic need..."
that's why it was confusing for me
because i don't meet the common app criteria, but i still feel like i have a need for a waiver
and harvard says what to do if you don't meet one of the indicators
and i'm just confused why they say "you can provide a supporting statement", but then they say "harvard will not ask you to provide a supporting statement" like wtf does that mean?
all you gotta do is meet 1
