Harvard University (2023-2024)

[late zenith]

which is the abstract

[lofty depot]

true, I need a solid abstract then

[stable pecan]

Harvard interviews aren’t evaluative right

[lofty depot]

they are

4 parameters I believe

[stable pecan]

Oh dear

[lofty depot]

Interviewers also assign candidates numerical ratings for their personal, extracurricular, academic, and overall accomplishments. These scores typically range from 1 to 4 — 1 being the highest and 4 being the lowest — with added plus and minus signs that enhance or diminish the ranking.

cited from the crimson

im still debating if I my research abstract would help

[sand iris]

I sent an entire paper

I do not know if they are reading allat

But honestly if you did anything of even slight importance it's probably worth sending

Showing that you've done research is important because it shows that you can navigate the publication of a paper

The actual research is not necessarily important unless you've done something insane and measured gravitational waves in your backyard or something

It's just useful to show that you can stick with research

[lofty depot]

even if its self-driven and probably not great when compared to others?

[sand iris]

If you're the only author I can't see how that would possibly look bad

If that's what you mean by self-driven

[lofty depot]

my research definitely adds a lot to my application but then maybe it's not as good as those super-skilled in research isef and all kids uk

[lofty depot]

yeah

[sand iris]

Again, it's really useful just to show that you can actually stick with research

You don't really have to show that your paper contains proof of a cure for cancer

You just have to show that you have a paper

Curing cancer would help you a little bit though, I can't deny

[stable pecan]

hmm got my interview request

im starting to prefer the informative to evaluatives

[opal night]

ALREADY???

[bitter path]

@lofty depot did u get an interview yet??

[stable pecan]

they generally get them out to most domestics

[opal night]

WHAT

Gg

[stable pecan]

it's just started

[opal night]

It’s ok I didn’t like Harvard anyways

[stable pecan]

girl it's not over yet 😭

[opal night]

It’s so over 😭

[lofty depot]

[sand iris]

If I get an interview my goal is to very smoothly explain the fundamentals of differential and integral calculus to the interviewer without them realizing

[lofty depot]

guess i never will

[sand iris]

Assuming they are not a math major

[lofty depot]

wow I got a calculus test in a day help me too please

[sand iris]

What calculus class

[lofty depot]

as per my curriculum, i have applied math so we got calculus and its application. So like differentiation + integration

did that make sense lol

[sand iris]

I would suspect that most calculus tests have integration and differentiation

[lofty depot]

lmao sorry wait

how do I explain this

i got full syllabus

[jolly lichen]

well the 4 numbers are just the surface level. the main thing is the written text

[jolly lichen]

if you make it far enough it can get sent to faculty for revirw

[jolly lichen]

I got mine in feb if that's any consolation

[sand iris]

The prose is not the greatest

I hope for their sake that they do not read it

[jolly lichen]

but.... why

[buoyant carbon]

^

[lofty depot]

this 🙂

[sand iris]

You ever read a textbook and they very smoothly introduce a fundamental part of the field the textbook is about without you realizing

I enjoy that feeling and I would like to replicate it

But for my interviewer

I do not know how I would do that

[jolly lichen]

this uh... seems like r/iamverysmart or smth

I can't imagine a way to do this smoothly

[sand iris]

Neither can I

[jolly lichen]

also I think most interviewers/alumni are at least familiar with calculus lmao

[sand iris]

I suppose it depends on their major and how long ago they went to Harvard

If my interviewer was in Widener's class and had a degree in Nepalese literature they probably would not

[stable pecan]

but why

[sand iris]

I think you can technically fit the fundamental theorem of calculus, the power rule, and Taylor series into the SUVAT formulas

[stable pecan]

why r u teaching ur interviewer 😭

[sand iris]

I do not know how I would manage to fit that into a conversation though

[sand iris]

I could never figure out marginal cost but I could help with the rest

[bitter path]

I am starting to think this application season made some of us actually lose the plot 😭😭

[lofty depot]

wow ur too smart then, cause I almost can't figure out anything

im too bad at math

yet ive risked it all

[lofty depot]

FACTS

[sand iris]

You have to do it a lot

And enjoy it

Really enjoying it is the main part

It's really easy to learn something if you enjoy it

[lofty depot]

yeah none of this is applicable in my case

[sand iris]

I refuse to believe that the people who memorized cheat codes for NES games can't memorize differentiation rules

They just have to enjoy it

[lofty depot]

that hard part is "enjoying" it

[sand iris]

I don't know how to get someone to enjoy anything in particular

[lofty depot]

memorizing is never my problem, always comes down to application while solving

[sand iris]

Though perhaps if you do it enough you'll get good at it and the resulting ego boost from being good at calculus will make you have fun doing math

[lofty depot]

hmm that makes good sense

[sand iris]

I did not mean for it to come across that way

[opal night]

Interesting

[sand iris]

I believe he is

[cosmic grail]

hey guys, did harvard extend?

[jaunty umbra]

not sure

i applied a day late and got my portal

but i explained my circumstances

[cosmic grail]

it has been 5 days tho

[jaunty umbra]

maybe call?

[cosmic grail]

nah

how can i check if they extended

[jaunty umbra]

you cant, you could've gotten an email ab it

but if you didn't you can always submit thru the common app and if u get ur portal they're probs going to read ur app

[cosmic grail]

I"m 5 days late tho

do i have a chance

[jaunty umbra]

tbh you could

many schools extended their deadline like emory and cornell

cornell's was until the 10th!

[cosmic grail]

but how did you know that they extended

do they put it on their website or anything?

[jaunty umbra]

no, emory i called and they said the 5th, and cornell my friend asked for an extension and they said they can submit by the 10th

[cosmic grail]

ight can somebody please tell me if they did extend

[shell rain]

where do they contact you from?

[stable pecan]

My interviewer did phone and email

[shell rain]

ah okay, did they call you? because i’m worried i’m going to get a call and not answer because i never really answer calls from whom i don’t have a contact

[stable pecan]

No

[shell rain]

okay perfect

[gleaming tartan]

what did the friend ask?

[jaunty umbra]

same 100 percent

when did u apply?

[jaunty umbra]

just for an extension cause they didnt apply by the deadline

[stable pecan]

Monday

[jaunty umbra]

oh ok

[rancid mural]

@jolly lichen @minor pecan did either of yall get harvard dental insurance? is it even worth it to get preventative or comprehensive

[rancid mural]

when did u ask

[jolly lichen]

I did not

[wanton lance]

if you arent too tired tonight, could you check out my dm!

[plain marsh]

i might go out later so idk if i can

when is penn due

[wanton lance]

ya np

[wanton lance]

for me local time its due 1159 PST

[minor pecan]

no and idk

[minor pecan]

still need help?

12 mins left we got this

[lofty depot]

oh you help people?

[minor pecan]

yeah, i always do

[lofty depot]

then help me decide if my research abstract is worth submitting 🙃

[minor pecan]

just send it

either 1) you don’t send it and they never know you wrote one or 2) you send it and they think it’s half decent

[lofty depot]

isn't 2) bad??

[minor pecan]

look

you’re ngmi either way

might as well go out with a bang

just full send it

[wanton lance]

tysm for ur help!

[minor pecan]

anytime

[lofty depot]

if anyone else could possibly see my abstract and help me decide, please dm! Would really appreciate

[grizzled dragon]

sure! i can help

[radiant sorrel]

Hey! I can possibly look too

Dm me if u want to share

I was also deferred early action FYI

[lofty depot]

thanks luck the 2nd

dming u

[fickle bay]

Did anyone get interviews?

My friend has one sun i didnt know know it was sent alr

Is it sent in waves or am i not getting one

[stable pecan]

I did

Probably in waves

[fickle bay]

U scheduled or finished it

[stable pecan]

Scheduled

[fickle bay]

Nice gl

[lofty depot]

over the past few weeks, i've developed significant disliking against harvard and im loving it

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/18zxsve/harvard/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

it's like a 'war is over' moment

🤧

[grizzled dragon]

guess u should see this too then

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/18ztbl9/not_applying_to_harvard_feels_like_a_flex_these/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

[jaunty umbra]

Dude

What’s so weird is I submitted a day late and they accepted it

How did they not accept their app too

[plain marsh]

yeah im so sorry i was nawt at home

glad you found so many other people willing to help and best of luck!

[lofty depot]

idk i feel bad tho

[lofty depot]

hii cat! could I dm you a question?

[plain marsh]

hii mrs luck! im currently doing eyeliner so gimme like 10 mins but of course!

[lofty depot]

[wanton lance]

ya np a couple penn kids helped me out 😄

yesterday was my last app so now we just do scholarships and pray 🙏

[lofty depot]

gl!!! ✨

[bronze gyro]

i'm close but decided against sending it because i think mit somehow has something specifically against kids who cured cancer

💀

[bronze gyro]

scholarships... how i wish i could say that as an international

[plain marsh]

great! they prob helped way better than i could've

[wanton lance]

they were too nice 💀

[plain marsh]

ah i see

maybe you're just thinking that

[wanton lance]

submitted now so no point in worrying, ill lyk how everything goes though!

[plain marsh]

mhm best of luck!

[rancid mural]

to me it sounds like it was more than a day late

[jaunty umbra]

Must be

[rancid mural]

but also

u dont know if they'll accept ur app being late

they could just be like nah ur late, it would kinda be in their best interest to 💀

[jaunty umbra]

Hope RD works out

[rancid mural]

cus of how AR manipulation works

[plain marsh]

brutal

[jaunty umbra]

Nope, I emailed and called them

[rancid mural]

more applicants = less AR

its just how they operate

[jaunty umbra]

They accepted it bc I had difficulties submitting day of

[plain marsh]

moral of the story is be on time dont play with fate

[rancid mural]

ok good

[jaunty umbra]

And I got the portal so at least they’re considering it 🤷🏽‍♀️

[rancid mural]

yeah idk why they would submit on the deadline anyway unless they were waiting on like, a college consultant to do a final review

thats why i waited til nov 1 lol

for rd theyre more strict tho cus it could seem like ur just shotgunning

[plain marsh]

i get so scared with stuff like that

what if my roof collapses and i cant find my laptop and the deadline passes

[bronze gyro]

they look at the submission date

[plain marsh]

also my brown video took 6 hours to upload into the website

if i wsnt 6 hours early i genuinely just wouldnt have been able to submit it

[vague hemlock]

wtf seriously

now im scared ill just do it tomorrow

[plain marsh]

yeah but they might’ve changed it

and it wasn’t that slow for some people idk what was up with mine

[vague hemlock]

ahhh

[stable pecan]

Yh, there were 5 months to submit the app

[jaunty umbra]

lol yeah so no one submit late apps cause it doesn’t look good

I only started working on college apps for rd in December

[stable pecan]

Hmm ?

[jaunty umbra]

like it’s not a good look

[late zenith]

No luck feels empty

[reef forge]

Lmfao luck left

[lofty depot]

bro left the server lol

[frank arch]

He abandoned the family 😧

[radiant sorrel]

I will take over

[lofty depot]

please check your dms once 🤧

[lofty depot]

yeah im no longer Mrs. Luck

[rancid mural]

he'll be back

[jaunty umbra]

Why’d he leave 👀

[radiant sorrel]

@plain marsh Can I ask something too if ur not busy now?

[bitter path]

Luck’s widow

Oh u poor soul

My prayers with u

[strange wedge]

Woah, why?

[plain marsh]

sure

[pseudo hawk]

Just got down with a 9 hour wrestling tournament breh

(I’m a coach)

I’m EXHAUSTED

[lofty depot]

i actually left him a while back. You guys kinda ignored the transition from Mrs. ---------- Ms. Luck all this while hehe

[lofty depot]

thanks but im good lol

[lofty depot]

[jolly yacht]

did anyone get interview RSVPs today for RD

[rancid mural]

no he didnt what

oh ig he did

i cant find in other channels. before i only saw him gone from this one and not others

[radiant sorrel]

Do u know for how long?

[rancid mural]

do u think harvard admits share a brain 😭

[radiant sorrel]

Mb

[rancid mural]

i dont talk to luck in dms i usually harass him here

i hate dm'ing

[radiant sorrel]

💀

He never replies to my dm

Did u get ur package in mail from harv @rancid mural

[rancid mural]

No

idk why

[radiant sorrel]

??

[rancid mural]

lemme check informed delivery and see if its coming soon

i rlly want that letter

gonna frame it fr 🔥

[radiant sorrel]

[cerulean flax]

What package

[onyx cedar]

what is the cover letter supposed to look like?

can it just be a paragraph in times new roman 12 on a single page?

[rancid mural]

has physical acceptance letter

[cerulean flax]

oh yeah I think I got that

but I'm also like a few miles from cambridge so probably quick to ship

[bitter path]

I cant believe u still haven’t got urs

[rancid mural]

i emailed fileroom

[bitter path]

From across the Atlantic and got it and yet u in the US still haven’t

[rancid mural]

idk if that was the right email

but i asked them if it got returned to sender by the post office

[bitter path]

Maybe there’s a delay for holiday season in ur area

[rain frost]

nah they made a mistake and the digital acceptance was wrong

jk

youre paper letter is def on its way

[hot urchin]

i've run into a suprising amount of Harvard students who are active on Discord, so i'm sure you'll be very able to harass him irl

I didn't purposefully meet them. They were in my office hours, in the same department common spaces, or in the same clubs.

[cerulean flax]

omg seeing people you've met on discord irl must be so strange

[rancid mural]

dyk where i can find official housing rules

i csnt find them on google but maybe im blind

[hot urchin]

housing rules? like, regulations inside dorms?

what you can bring? what you can't? alc policy?

[rancid mural]

what u can and cant have

im tryna figure out abt applicances

[plain marsh]

brown gives u a microwave

beat that silly jharvard students

[hot urchin]

IT IS. I hosted a section + office hours (back to back) last term, and there were three kids ik from Discord.

[rancid mural]

harvard make u rent a MicroFridge

[hot urchin]

[plain marsh]

imagine having to WALK down STAIRS for a FRIDGE....

[rancid mural]

[plain marsh]

wtf is ur 40 billion endowment doing

cringe af

how are we outclassing u this hard

[rancid mural]

is it really paying if its out of the money THEY gave me

[plain marsh]

how much money they giving u

[rancid mural]

1k stipend per sem for whatever i want thats school or living related

[plain marsh]

buy a brita

water jug thing

if u dont have one

you will need this

[rancid mural]

is it so u dont gotta buy bottled water

[plain marsh]

what

why would u be buying bottled water anyways

[rancid mural]

to drink

[plain marsh]

thats disgusting

tap water exists

[rancid mural]

tap water is too scary

[plain marsh]

isnt it safe everywhre in US where im assuming ur from

[plain marsh]

boil it

and wait for it to cool

thats what my asian household has been doing

since ive been alive

[rancid mural]

our water comes from the lake and oils been dumped out there so many times its crazy

[plain marsh]

boil it

wait for cool

im sure u know but boiling it removes the bad things

[rancid mural]

it kills bacteria but it wont get rid of paticles and styff

[plain marsh]

are u telling me

u drink bottled water

in ur own house/apartment/whatever

?

[rancid mural]

yes

[plain marsh]

silly kace

what the fuck

is ur issue

[rancid mural]

no way im putting tap water in my body

[plain marsh]

how many sea creatures have u destroyed

im gonna cry

[cerulean flax]

MA tap is actually good

[plain marsh]

tap water is GOOD in new york city

sht is scrumptious

[rancid mural]

who wants to drink lake water

ppl fish in that lake

[plain marsh]

get a water filter

[hot urchin]

should be in the Handbook or in the documents your Yard dean will send out later. I would check out the last two links since they're much shorter!

https://handbook.college.harvard.edu/sites/projects.iq.harvard.edu/files/collegehandbook/files/harvard_college_student_handbook_2023-2024.pdf
https://dso.college.harvard.edu/what-bring
https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/files/yardops/files/fire_safety.pdf

[plain marsh]

how have u NEVER EVER thought about buying a WATER FILTER

yk u can get filters that sit on the tap???

[cerulean flax]

MA tap is as good of tap as you'll get in the US pretty much

[rancid mural]

do ppl fish in the lakes in NY

[plain marsh]

silly kace

stop averting my questiions

[hot urchin]

the DSO is the Dean of Students Office. they handle clubs, residential life, spaces, and a bunch of other shid.

[plain marsh]

which extraterrestrial force has prevented u from simply purchasing a filter

[plain marsh]

also yes

[hot urchin]

YardOps will be the people you call whenever you get locked out, or something happened in your dorm

[plain marsh]

paimon be quiet

oh my god

[hot urchin]

I live in DeWolfe, which is overflow housing. It comes with a dishwasher, a fridge, a stove, an oven, but no microwave lmfao. we are allowed to buy our own kitchen equipment like microwaves. BUT, anyone who doesn't live in overflow housing that has a kitchen? they can't have microwaves or fridges or anything...

fire hazard or whatever

[plain marsh]

im not reading that essy

[plain marsh]

what kinda dorm is called 'DeWolfe'

what is it with harvard and corny names

first it was 'brain break' and now its 'da wolf'

[rancid mural]

ok ive looked at all these links and it says it prohibits space heaters

i have a very tiny heater

that just plugs into the wall

idk if thats considered a space heater

[hot urchin]

ik fans are allowed. not sure if your heater would be

[rancid mural]

its like an air freshener that you'd plug into a wall, but a heater

[hot urchin]

honestly? you should ask admin about it. if they say no, you could still bring it and hide it.

[rancid mural]

it said for winter break students heating appliances have to be inspected, and i plan on staying over winter, so i may just have them inspect it or sneak it

[final yacht]

anyone else applied as a ling major to yale?

[jolly lichen]

fwiw you don't need heating over winter, the houses are still heated during winter

[rancid mural]

but handbook said they are "under no obligation to provide heat"

over winter

[jolly lichen]

yeah but they do

lol

they're not gonna shut off the heat on you

that might actually be a crime

[final yacht]

i mean harvard

LOL

[left sky]

what up nerds

[rancid mural]

do u think my wall-heater would be useful during the period where its getting cold but isnt cold enough to shut on heat

cus i heard they dont cut on heat until it hits 40 or people complain

[cedar salmon]

holy fuck the ackman meat riding is crazy

they made fan art bro

https://twitter.com/RobertMSterling/status/1743710188954083456

[jolly lichen]

mmmm personally I think it's not an issue but some people do complain

I also grew up in Canada tho lol

but also a wall heater is almost certainly against the rules pls don't burn down a building

I do recommend an electric blanket tho if you wanna feel toasty

[buoyant carbon]

I feel like this is satire

No way, no way that’s real

[sand iris]

I will say that Ackman was not hypocritical until he defended his wife

When he defended her plagiarism it became hypocrisy

It also kind of seems like Ackman is about to dox whoever told Business Insider about his wife's plagiarism based on some of his tweets

Total conjecture though

[jaunty umbra]

what's the weather like in cambridge?

im used to the freezing cold but idk if its super cold there

[minor pecan]

you will be fine then

just bring a coat or jacket and you're chilling

well, warming ig

[rancid mural]

im getting all my dorm/personal stuff i need on amazon for free

so the only think we gotta spend money on is clothes

im excited

[minor pecan]

what are you getting

[rancid mural]

stuff

[rancid mural]

ys

under misc

[floral oyster]

is it of any use?

[rancid mural]

do u share a bedroom with someone

[rancid mural]

if u want any chance at acceptance then yeah 💀

deferral -> accept chances r slim to none, but not giving any updates is a death sentence

[floral oyster]

alright cool, im working on it

[minor pecan]

no

[rancid mural]

how small is ur bedroom

[minor pecan]

im in a suite but i have a single

[rancid mural]

like whats in it other than a bed

[minor pecan]

table and desk

wait

that’s the same thing

uhhh

desk and chair

[rancid mural]

ok so desk is in bedroom

i saw a vid where a desk was in suite commons and it confused me

i assume it varies by dorm

[minor pecan]

when i moved in, they were in the common room

[rancid mural]

ah ok

[minor pecan]

but we moved them into our own rooms

[rancid mural]

so i can move it then

[minor pecan]

some people leave them in the common room

idk how common that is tho

[rancid mural]

how do ppl study in a common room 💀

[plain marsh]

at brown we had buff people come to move our furniture

[hot urchin]

like, if youre fine with 20F, you should generally be fine. i wear shorts in mid-40s for hours, so i only need a typical jacket to get by

[sweet tundra]

ya i ended up getting zhong on rerun

[hot urchin]

there was like one weekend last year that was rlly cold. but that was a one off event

[ashen carbon]

yup DAY 1 MOTHERFUCKERSSSS

[tacit lotus]

I started playing 2.1

found the game unapproachable due to the fandom

covid hit hard

[ashen carbon]

valid

i started playing before the shit fandom developed

[tacit lotus]

oh

do you want to know something funny

I got raiden in 10 pulls

Then got a qiqi next ten pull

then got c1 raiden in 40 pulls

[ashen carbon]

[tacit lotus]

venti 40 pulls

hutao c1 like 20 pulls

[ashen carbon]

i have no words

[tacit lotus]

aqua simulacra 1 pull

[ashen carbon]

i don’t even have a bis weapon wtf

[tacit lotus]

amos bow 20 pulls iirc?

[ashen carbon]

after playing since release

ig i don’t play anymore but still wtf

[tacit lotus]

the gambling got to me tho

given this luck streak

[ashen carbon]

i stopped gambling bc i figured

i didn’t want to use up my luck

[jaunty umbra]

how do u get it for FREE

[storm condor]

guys is loci needed? harvard doesnt mention it or anything so i think one is not supposed to send right?

[ashen carbon]

i think you can send updates

[storm condor]

plus deadline already passed (?)

[ashen carbon]

what really?

which deadline

[storm condor]

harvard rd?

[ashen carbon]

oh

i think you can still send info lmao

[storm condor]

u can i know but like idk if i should ?

[ashen carbon]

not a full letter though

i think is the point

just significant updates

[storm condor]

can anyone confirm? i didnt think loci was a thing for harvad and if it is how do i put the updates? like mit fun form?

[ashen carbon]

like an olympiad qual or sts finalist

don’t if you don’t feel like there’s much to say

so like don’t submit an update to say “everything’s going smoothly”

[storm condor]

serious olys arent till summer so i cant write yet, but like maybe i can write about my internship and some blog stuff but thats maybe unimportant to them?

[ashen carbon]

if you think it’s not important to them

don’t put it in

[storm condor]

i think it is but can it hurt my chances or smth?

[ashen carbon]

but some qualification rounds are in jan

for olympiads and competitions so that’s what i mean

i don’t think it’ll hurt your chances

they’re not gonna retaliate at you because your update wasn’t impressive enough lmao

it’s just for your own peace of mind you might just want to let it be

[storm condor]

1st and 2nd stages, i dont consider that important, i would write about ioi or imo only but like not second stage of math competition

[ashen carbon]

if not though go ahead

[ashen carbon]

nah

usamo is def important enough

[storm condor]

ok thats like national, i said about 1st and 2nd

[ashen carbon]

and i think sts comes out soon

[storm condor]

im international btw

lol

[ashen carbon]

ahh

ok then again

nothing will really hurt

but if you’re just doing it for a tiny boost in regular than probably just save your spring semester and let it go lmao

they won’t get mad at you for sending something

[storm condor]

so it should be like a small essay saying updates, not essay u get me like article

[ashen carbon]

yes

i think so anyway

like an add. info section but abt the last two months

harvard definitely knows 1) that you really want to get in and 2) that not much can have happened in two months

[storm condor]

true

[ashen carbon]

it’s not like a yield protect protect letter like for yale

[storm condor]

wdym what about yale 👀

[ashen carbon]

like a “i still care about your school” letter

[storm condor]

oh oh yeah

can i also add a small sentence at first saying like im interested

and i want to attend

or will it seem bad or smth

💀

[minor pecan]

doubt it’s going to be the difference between accept or rj/wl because it’s basically everyone’s top choice realistically speaking but go ahead, i dont see why not

[vague hemlock]

@rancid mural are you applying anywhere else

[minor pecan]

he committed

[frank arch]

Luck is back

[rancid mural]

yeah thats fine

if it's ABSOLUTELY ur top choice u could say "if admitted I would attend this institution over others"

[minor pecan]

you can just lie and say that too

[rancid mural]

😭💀

[jaunty umbra]

kace

[rancid mural]

[reef forge]

My glorious king luck got permbanned

[remote solstice]

Ooh Harvard interviews are coming soon

[radiant sorrel]

🕊️

[timber oriole]

do we just wait to receive an email abt harvard interview?

i dont think it indicates on the portal right

[left sky]

what happen to luck

[hidden bloom]

What why

[reef forge]

Discussing illegal topics with underage kids

According to a mod

[radiant sorrel]

#1135687432034066623 message

That’s what moderator said

Wait

Why is your name also luck

@hidden bloom

[hidden bloom]

Me and Luck were one

[radiant sorrel]

Huh

[hidden bloom]

He’s not a mod

[radiant sorrel]

?

[hidden bloom]

He doesn’t Edate lmao

[radiant sorrel]

Dark brandon is moderstor

[hidden bloom]

Oh

Didn’t see

Nah no way 💀

Why tf did cat get banned

[upbeat sphinx]

gg

[radiant sorrel]

Brother

Just read it

It says

💀

[hidden bloom]

💀

@radiant sorrel dumb ban lol

[bitter path]

Where did u read that 💀

I wanna see too

[hidden bloom]

DM’d them

[hidden bloom]

I asked cat

[bitter path]

Lemme go ask cat

[late zenith]

💀

thats edating behavior bruh

[hidden bloom]

How

[rancid mural]

cus it was weird and theyre both adults 💀

[rancid mural]

yes

you will get an email from an alumni saying hi im an alumni let me talk to u

[timber oriole]

okay cool

btw are u still open for ppl to read ur harvard essays LOL im curious

[stable pecan]

!😂 the phrasing makes the alumni sound like weirdos

[cerulean flax]

my alumni interview was one of the college people at my school telling me I had an interview

it was weird

[hidden bloom]

They’re 18-19 lol

[rancid mural]

maybe they emailed u and didnt get a replu

[rancid mural]

so adults

[hidden bloom]

Most people on here are hs seniors or older

💀

[rancid mural]

that doesnt matter lmao

[cerulean flax]

I don't think I ever got one but

worked out so details don't matter

[rancid mural]

point is that its a public server and its chloe's job to make sure ppl arent being weird

there has to be a line somewhere and thats whete she drew it

[hidden bloom]

I feel like you’re one of those people who criticizes a 17yr old an 18 yr old relationship lmao

[hidden bloom]

True

[rancid mural]

my friend is 18 dating a 23 year old i couldnt care less what ppl i dont know do

[hidden bloom]

But saying adults makes it seem like they were super old and could be taken the wrong way. They’re still in their teens lol

Connotations matter lol, even if what you’re saying is right

[rancid mural]

im not saying whether i agree with the ban or not, im saying chloe's decision was for the safety of minors on a2c. it sets a bad precedent if they are allowed to talk about that with no consequences

im not saying either of them are bad people, but what they did is objectively weird

[hidden bloom]

I get what you’re saying, and I understand and agree 100%. Ig my problem was with the connotations. The mod made it seem like they were talking about something extremely bad lol

Chloe does need to set a line, which I agree with

[jolly hinge]

I feel there is also important info in the fact both had a previous ban and multiple warns on their record

Had they been on little to no record that wouldn’t have been the action taken tbh, i think it probably would’ve been the same reason they received albeit with a warning like everyone else got vs ban

Like multiple of you got warned bc it was still a rule break by filter evasion and nsfw regardless of your age

But most of you also didn’t really have much of a record before this like those two did

[cerulean flax]

idk what this whole thing is abt but go crimson gang

[jolly hinge]

Lol

Pro tip for college nonetheless

Don’t take 9ams

Today was day 1 and I’m exhausted

[cerulean flax]

lmao

[foggy gyro]

Why is this harvard chat always so fiesty

[cerulean flax]

I need to figure out

[foggy gyro]

Also I'm taking 8 am classes for dual enrollment

[cerulean flax]

if I can avoid classes every tuesday and thursday morning for my medical treatments

[foggy gyro]

Grumpy professors x grumpy students = great

[cerulean flax]

and if not

[jolly hinge]

Ngl this will be hard

[cerulean flax]

what I can actually even do abt it

[jolly hinge]

It’s hard to get one day off

[cerulean flax]

I'll find a way to work around it tho

[jolly hinge]

Oh wait morning

Oh

That’s possible

Thought you said whole day at first

[jaunty umbra]

What illegal topics???

[jolly hinge]

You may have to suck up some late afternoon/evening classes tho

[jolly hinge]

We are beyond this now

[cerulean flax]

idk I'm sure I could schedule most not at that time but probably a few classes will be during that time eventually

if there isn't required attendence

[jolly hinge]

Idk how niche your major is at your school but at mine for upper div required classes they only run one lecture hall option a quarter but the time changes every quarter

[cerulean flax]

it's so chill I just make up stuff later tbh

[hidden bloom]

Ah I see, that makes sense

[cerulean flax]

I'll be doing stats so probably easier to find other times

[jolly hinge]

We have 2 stats lectures a quarter I think

And a bunch of sections in them

[cerulean flax]

idek why I'm worrying about this now I gotta get through my hs career first

[jolly hinge]

For my elementary stats class

[cerulean flax]

I got an english paper on spiritual insight vs rational thought due tomorrow

[jolly hinge]

Rip

Our stats is also the only class I have that meets 4x a week

Idk how it is elsewhere tho

[cerulean flax]

damn that feels like a lot that's like more than my hs classes

[jolly hinge]

It’s only 50m per tbf

But it’s a pain to build into ur schedule bc of the number of times

[cerulean flax]

yeah makes sense

[jaunty umbra]

??

[jolly hinge]

Bro

[hidden bloom]

Wdym?

What are you confused about lmao

[jaunty umbra]

The whole situation

lol I wanted to ask luck a Q but he’s banned?

[jolly hinge]

You are as nosey as the country in your name

[jaunty umbra]

Why do you care

[cerulean flax]

[jolly hinge]

Because we have moved on and this thread is not the luck thread

[hidden bloom]

For when you retire

[jolly hinge]

I need to marry the grind

But unfortunately I am bad at working

[hidden bloom]

Orrr, marry rich and live the life. Personally, my dream job is a trophy husband

[cerulean flax]

that is too real

[jolly hinge]

That’s very real but I need a backup plan

I have 2 different application thingys to finish

Plus class work

Sob

[hidden bloom]

Good luck soldier. Are you a jr or senior

Nvm I just looked at roles

1 more year to go!

[jolly hinge]

Yes I have finished one quarter at transfer school

[radiant sorrel]

Wth did i j read

Never a normal moment in this thread

💀

[upbeat sphinx]

average prospective harvard enthusiasts

[jaunty umbra]

we’re not all like that

[rancid mural]

i will probably have a 9 am my first semester 😭

remedial bio/chem is only at 9 am and i dont know if i will test high enough to take normal

[undone stone]

Interview scheduled 🙏

[jolly lichen]

harvard unaccepting

[pseudo hawk]

already?

[undone stone]

yes

the dude called my cell

[jaunty umbra]

Submitted my app late but got the prot

Portal

Will it still be considered?

[hidden bloom]

Fr

[hot urchin]

i had 9ams everyday of the week last fall! I think they're not bad if you can set a consistent sleep schedule

[jolly hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/loona-harvard-gif-27352264

[strange wedge]

Nah…they’re bad

I can barely do 8 AM

[frigid herald]

I will say; of all 17 colleges I applied for, Harvard does have the nicest portal

[sweet tundra]

what did they do 😭

[hidden bloom]

I would tell you but I got warned 😪

[sweet tundra]

😭 damn

[radiant sorrel]

Ask them

I can dm u it if u want

[radiant sorrel]

Did u get banned or left?

[rancid mural]

how do u expect him to answer that 💀

[radiant sorrel]

Lol

I meant to write he instead of u

[lofty depot]

why is this chat so funny today lol

[rancid mural]

cus i think harvard chat forgets how to act whenever anything happens

[vague hemlock]

"forgets to act" implies they knew how to act in the first place

harvard thread is komedy

its why i camp here despite not applying here

[frank arch]

Luck ain’t so lucky after all 😪

[lofty depot]

you didn't??

[bronze gyro]

She waitlisted hvd 💀

[lofty depot]

lol

[vague hemlock]

lol no im not a harvard girlie

[lofty depot]

im praying u get into brown then

kinda sounded like your dream

[vague hemlock]

uchi is my dream but tysm <3

[lofty depot]

oops was gonna mention that too

but-

[pulsar pond]

hello harvard thread

looks like ive missed out on a lot of drama

[final yacht]

wait do we have to sign up for an interview for harvard?

[lofty depot]

nope

[light prairie]

Anyone submit supplementary materials?

research work?

how detailed was your cover letter?

[spice owl]

anyone been getting interviews yet?

[rancid mural]

the era of luck is over

it's not worth discussing anymore

[ashen carbon]

what the fuck

ok

[ashen carbon]

no

your local harvard club organizes i think and then your interviewer reaches out

huh is nj luck also gone forever

[lofty depot]

[pulsar pond]

:PPP Just submitted my moderator application

[left sky]
