Oopsie

😂

[undone briar]

thank you

i believe it

i think i’ve become the new kace in the sense of how much people know i like harvard

just not as much of a lock as he was 😂

[ruby matrix]

read this backwards

[cerulean flax]

[fossil willow]

bro u cant get me all excited like this 😭

i wanna visit alrdy

[frozen night]

[fossil willow]

[undone briar]

i thought you went to boston

[fossil willow]

i was supposed to go last week

[undone briar]

oh well

you just have one more month

[undone briar]

do you have any summer intern plans or something

[undone briar]

im sick of chick fil a

2 years of hell so far

[fossil willow]

bruh u wanna know what sucks

i screwed myself over

[undone briar]

how

[fossil willow]

walmart would pay me $19/hr as a pharmacy tech

[undone briar]

....

[fossil willow]

but they almost never rehire if u had bad attendance 💀

[undone briar]

YOU HAD BAD ATTENDANCE

SHAME

[fossil willow]

and the place i will be working pays me $10

[undone briar]

WHEWWWW

[fossil willow]

LITERALLY SCREWED MYSELF OUT OF $9

[undone briar]

milk the harvard card it might work

[fossil willow]

LOLL

[undone briar]

you need to utilize the resources you have

[fossil willow]

"i need more money im going to harvard"

[undone briar]

or

im a rising freshman at harvard university AND

say some bs idk

[fossil willow]

i could try to apply to the walmart in the city over or smth

and see if they wont care

[undone briar]

i mean at that point it would be worth it

[fossil willow]

30 min drive

so idk

[undone briar]

nearly double the pay

[fossil willow]

ya

[undone briar]

youd def make the money back

[fossil willow]

i think the extra $9 makes up for gas

[undone briar]

bY FAR

[fossil willow]

gas is like $3/gal here

so thats ez

[undone briar]

EXACT,Y

but i think you should try your local one first

doesnt hurt to try

worst thing they can say is no

[honest finch]

these pics bring me back to so many memories during my ivy tour

i didnt like harvard's campus but the greater boston area was GORGEOUS

the lake was beautiful tho

i had to walk from harvard to mit so i got to explore the city a lil bit

[cerulean flax]

yeah the charles river has great scenes

I love Boston

[honest finch]

oh it was a river OOOPS

😭

[cerulean flax]

lmao all good

it stretches so long it seems like a lake

[honest finch]

no frfr

[lament olive]

real

harvard campus is ass

boston is awesome

[cerulean flax]

BOSTON RAHHH

[orchid mason]

BOSTON 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

[lament olive]

BOSTON

Actually v hyped to live in boston, if NEU is where i end up going

[orchid mason]

All A2Cers gon' end up in Boston fr fr

[lament olive]

[orchid mason]

All these schools 😍

+Wellesley which is a bit more to the west

[honest finch]

the connections are abt to be CRAZYYY

[cerulean flax]

EAST VS WEST CAMBRIDGE

[orchid mason]

UMass Cambridge (West) 🤢
UMass Cambridge (East) 😍

[zinc helm]

so many schools concentrated

[cerulean flax]

hey now

[sterile onyx]

CURRY COLLeGE MENTIONED

[vague hemlock]

omg those are so many

[zinc helm]

Updated harvard with a poster--I for some reason I didnt feel like making it professional.

[pallid rivet]

Tbh I would have saved it for a loci

At this point

[zinc helm]

eh, sent it out march 9th.

[pallid rivet]

Doesn’t hurt but I think decisions have been made

[zinc helm]

yeah, but thought id send it regardless so I dont regret not

[late zenith]

bro is the next black albert einstein

making it out fr

[zinc helm]

yes sir

[late zenith]

that award putnow fellow

u have it on 🔒

[fossil willow]

that would require them getting waitlisted

which is like, rare

idk the percent i'd need to look it up

but not many get off the waitlist

[pallid rivet]

Really? I thought it was as high as their deferral rate

[late zenith]

nah

[fossil willow]

the deferral rate is 80% 💀

[pallid rivet]

Mb

[late zenith]

defer rea is kinda soft rejection

they did 84$

84% this eyar

[fossil willow]

waitlisting 80% is crazy

[pallid rivet]

Idk much about waitlists

Tbh

[late zenith]

no one got off darty last yr iirc

[fossil willow]

waitlist = we like u but dont got room

its important to note that even if 20% of admits decline admission, its unlikely you will get off the waitlist

colleges take yield into account when accepting, which is why harvard accepts 2,000 but only has an incoming class of 1,600

[pallid rivet]

Yeah was never accounting for a waitlist to acceorance

Tbh

[errant phoenix]

good thinking

[pallid rivet]

Do people rlly wait on that?

Seems like such a small thing to hope for

[zinc helm]

its harvard

[pallid rivet]

Harvard schmarvard

[fossil willow]

yeah why not

ur alrdy committed somewhere else but whats the point of withdrawing ur waitlist spot

if u know you'd consider going

[undone briar]

RAHHH

[fossil willow]

bro is excited

[undone briar]

hopefulky for a good reason

none of my friends predicted me to get into harvard but then again they don’t know THAT much about college admissions besides one

but they also didn’t say i would get accepted into columbia so!

https://discord.com/channels/786557653924708373/1216905234031448094

[minor pecan]

[violet prawn]

[tall moat]

I do unforch

[violet prawn]

What are they if you don’t mind me asking

Also is Columbia and vandy part of your 3

[tall moat]

it hurts to say

[tall moat]

ig..

[tribal copper]

both 😭

[minor pecan]

ok look thread

[bitter path]

Harvard>>>

[ashen carbon]

that's crazy

but yeah i have heard good things about harvard's bsus

lmao on the prestige

[tribal copper]

the food sucks 😫😫😫

[ashen carbon]

boston literally in transit distance

[rustic cosmos]

but food on campus

you aren't gonna take a 40 minute trip to chinatown every day are you

[ashen carbon]

good point

[bitter path]

4 yrs of jail food is still better than yale

[pallid rivet]

Harvards campus is a tourist attraction surely they have to have good food for visitors

[ashen carbon]

wym yale food is so good

[tribal copper]

damn 💀💀

[ashen carbon]

they just have a notorious lack of diverse asian food

[tribal copper]

what yale do

[bitter path]

Exist

[tribal copper]

jesus bruh

😭😭😭😭

[tribal copper]

relax on my dawg he kinda chill

[bitter path]

U are now a harvard admit, step up ur hating game on yale bruh

It’s one of the prerequisites🙄

[tribal copper]

CHILL IM ALSO A YALE ADMIT

[rustic cosmos]

imagine hating on a school which is objectively better than yours and has been winning "the big game" for the last few years

[bitter path]

Some clown university i heard

[bitter path]

A game no one gives a shit about 🙄

[rustic cosmos]

oh nvm its actually pretty close lol

yale has won 69 and harvard has won 61

ever since the big game was a thing

ok my opinion may be unreasonable @tribal copper but the yale aesthetic is simply much better

[bitter path]

On a serious note, I completely agree with this

[rustic cosmos]

thanks bestie

[pallid rivet]

@tribal copper dawg it seems that your heart wants take

Yale

😭

[bitter path]

But i feel like they are gonna always wonder in the back of their mind “what if I chose harvard”

[rustic cosmos]

vice versa

actually no

[bitter path]

I dont think anyone does that tbf

Like i gotta give it to yale

Yes it’s a very prestigious university

[undone briar]

this is true

[rustic cosmos]

i feel like the harvard name is genuinely too powerful in real society

tbf i didn't know yale existed until sophomore year

[undone briar]

they’re both prestigious but harvard is by far the most name recognized

[rustic cosmos]

everyone and their grandmas knows about harvard

[bitter path]

But for whatever reason, harvard seems to be just better than yale

Even tho both in the same league

[undone briar]

can’t act like that didn’t create opportunities for itself

[meager brook]

Imo Harvard is top 1 just on rep

[bitter path]

If they wanna work internationally

Harvard definitely holds more power

[rustic cosmos]

yeah

[bitter path]

Barely anyone out of the US knows about yale

[rustic cosmos]

^^

[bitter path]

But tell em about harvard

[undone briar]

ugh

[bitter path]

They jumping out their seats

[rustic cosmos]

if you really care about international prestige then choose harvard

[undone briar]

stop this just makes me want harvard more and more

[rustic cosmos]

one thing that you should also just realize rn

is that

[undone briar]

i’m such a prestige whore

[rustic cosmos]

both schools are amazing for ur major

so

you can't genuinely go wrong

[undone briar]

but honestly i just love harvard

[rustic cosmos]

realize that regardless of which one you pick you're going to succeed

[undone briar]

he knows that fs

[bitter path]

Omg pookie u got a columbia likely??

Congrats!!

[ashen carbon]

when you get to an elite college though you enter a world where anyone who knows about harvard will know about yale

[rustic cosmos]

ok this is random

[undone briar]

YESS TY!!

[pallid rivet]

In professional careers

[rustic cosmos]

but is it odd that the only reason i want to get into duke is so that i can say "dookie my pookie"

[pallid rivet]

Or to companies

[rustic cosmos]

💀

[ashen carbon]

the "real world" you're talking about exists outside of what you need a harvard degree for

[pallid rivet]

Yale or havrsrd

Are equal

[bitter path]

Yes

But i feel like

[rustic cosmos]

we're talking about commonplace perceptions

not professional perceptions

[bitter path]

U just get a lil more respect when u mention harvard

[rustic cosmos]

we know that a smart person would definitely know yale and harvard

[pallid rivet]

😭that’s kinda elitist ngl

[bitter path]

Tho im not denying both schools are amazing

[rustic cosmos]

but ur comomner on the street will know harvard

[ashen carbon]

i don't see any case in which this actually matters

[undone briar]

it is but it’s the truth, it’s impossible to ignore the effects of elitism

it’s just the reality

[rustic cosmos]

yeah it doesnt

[ashen carbon]

unless you're trying to be bryan stevenson

[pallid rivet]

Are you trying to impress random people on the street

😭

[rustic cosmos]

no but even just normal friends bro

[undone briar]

i’m just saying even for anyone where i live

[bitter path]

Welcome to the real world

[undone briar]

everyone knows harvard

[rustic cosmos]

i didn't say people on the street

[meager brook]

“What’s a random talent you have?
“I went to harvard”

[ashen carbon]

and he went to eastern university lmao

[undone briar]

a lot know yale

[rustic cosmos]

i meant commonplace

[undone briar]

BUT EVERYONE knows harvard

[ashen carbon]

no one does this

[rustic cosmos]

bump guys please answer me

[ashen carbon]

they say "small school in cambridge massachusetts"

[pallid rivet]

Break the system

[pallid rivet]

Nah valid

[bitter path]

This might actually work 😭😭

[meager brook]

That’s the only commoner on the street situation I could think of

[pallid rivet]

Yeah but it would also be weird then

For others to perceive me based on my college acceptance rather than who I am

[ashen carbon]

bro said "commoner"

he thinks he's gatsby

[meager brook]

I say commoner as a commoner 😎

[ashen carbon]

exactly

media literacy 101

[undone briar]

i mean yall are joking but like yall have to actually know that prestige/elitism is very prevalent and will get you places, and if you have the opportunity to go then it’s important to consider that when making the decisions bc of the opportunities that can come ur way

[meager brook]

All my homies hate gatsby

[pallid rivet]

I get that but in commonplace situations leveraging prestige through mentioning your Harvard degree won’t exactly get you that much

[undone briar]

oh how not?

[ashen carbon]

honestly i wonder if the words "i got into harvard" and "i went to harvard" are comparable in impact and everyday frequency

[pallid rivet]

I mean sure others may treat you better or more favorably but not significantly enough to where it’s a major impact

[undone briar]

mentioning your harvard degree literally gets u access to connections, internships + more which in term is typically more advancements in the career field

[ashen carbon]

so does mentioning your yale degree

[pallid rivet]

That’s the professional field which once again yale and Harvard are equivalent

[undone briar]

i feel like realistically it does though

[undone briar]

true

[ashen carbon]

and mentioning your williams degree

[bitter path]

Brother, do u think ppl actually care of who we are anymore? 💀 ppl only care about where u went to school, what do you do for a living, where u live, what u drive and etc

Sad reality

[ashen carbon]

and your harvey mudd degree

in the important areas

[rustic cosmos]

omg harvey mudd mentioned <3

[undone briar]

see now you’re like

[pallid rivet]

You’re very cynical

[undone briar]

i’m sorry but the impact i don’t is comparable

[lament olive]

harvey mudd <3 <3

[bitter path]

I definitely do not agree with it

[ashen carbon]

in certain fields it is

[undone briar]

if you’re in a place like mine that isn’t just a college hub, people only know the big name schools

[undone briar]

i think it depends on geography as well

[pallid rivet]

I know plenty of genuine people

Just find your circle

[ashen carbon]

but again this objectively doesn't matter unless youre choosing to return to those areas to uphold your community

[rustic cosmos]

oh i didn't agree with it

a harvey mudd degree isn't gonna hold the same oomph compared to a harvard degree

[undone briar]

it was just an example of the difference

[ashen carbon]

and this is a bio major not a poli sci one

[rustic cosmos]

even though the difference between yale and harvard is marginal

[pallid rivet]

In your area what impact will having a college degree from Harvard vs yale have

[undone briar]

very marginal fs

[rustic cosmos]

harvard is genuinely just more well known to your common person

[ashen carbon]

oh yeah totally but my point is hmc gets better grad placements than harvard

[rustic cosmos]

thats cuz half of harvard sells out to finance

[ashen carbon]

good to get a sense for the impact of your degree before you go

[rustic cosmos]

oh wait

thats what grad placements mean

[undone briar]

harvard is THE school people compare you too if they are trying to compliment you, it’s honestly just increase of respect,‘opportunities, etc

[rustic cosmos]

i thought grad meant grad school

[undone briar]

i mean yale as well don’t get me wrong

[ashen carbon]

no i mean grad school

[pallid rivet]

I digress with opportunities but respect yeah

[rustic cosmos]

oh yeah so half of harvard just sells out to finance

[pallid rivet]

That’s just the cultural impact of harvard

[undone briar]

but if i had to poll, about 50% of people would@know harvard > yale

[ashen carbon]

but yeah some finance areas definitely know lacs well

[ashen carbon]

ok yes

[undone briar]

where are you from?

[pallid rivet]

Miami

[rustic cosmos]

common people don't know HYPSM, they just know HPSM if i'm being completely fr

[ashen carbon]

but they know about as much about harvard as you can learn from watching the kissing booth

[undone briar]

i just feel like it’s easy to say it wouldn’t have much impact if you’re from a big city or area where people typically know nog@colleges

[ashen carbon]

it's like telling someone you got a perfect score on the sat

[pallid rivet]

Do you plan on working in those small areas?

Or per say living

[bitter path]

Ok now i might have to disagree with u

[undone briar]

i’d actually disagree, i’d said harvard and yale are the top 2 when it comes to name recognition maybe stanford

[ashen carbon]

yeah this would be the case i would actually consider

[bitter path]

I feel like more ppl know about yale than princeton

[undone briar]

possibly i mean that is my intended area of impact currently

[pallid rivet]

First off job opportunities are more attracted to those major hubs

[ashen carbon]

but then i dont even know if you should think of harvard and yale as your top options necessarily

[undone briar]

i think more people know about yale than stanford here or mit

[rustic cosmos]

idk i think the culture where i am is just different

but i haven't heard anyone mention yale often when talking about colleges

[bitter path]

Stanford and mit are on their own league tbf

[ashen carbon]

then probably consider harvard but go in with some expectation of things

[undone briar]

yeah true, techy

[pallid rivet]

Ig then if it is a small area then the Harvard degree may carry more recognition, but not to serious employers

[ashen carbon]

you're going to school in a city its easy to lose sight of what your original point is

[undone briar]

i’d be blessed to very into harvard or yale AND BOTH COME WITH UNDENIABLE OPPORTUNITIES

i don’t think the discussion was over if yale’s name carried weight

[bitter path]

Personally more ppl know about stanford bcuz of their mba program and mit is just mit

[rustic cosmos]

i need to get in in 2 weeks guys

[undone briar]

it was just really which one carried more

[rustic cosmos]

please i just need one

PLEASE

[pallid rivet]

Do you need one

[rustic cosmos]

jk i'm not that dramatic

but

i want one <3

[undone briar]

true

but tbh i just like harvard for several reasons

[bitter path]

But if we compare yale and princeton, more ppl know about yale bcuz of Rory Gilmore imo

[ashen carbon]

i just don't think the weight is distributed in a way that particularly matters

[pallid rivet]

Yeah at the end it’s just personal preference

That’s what should matter

Not name value

[undone briar]

the strong black community, boston, etc

i could go on and on tbh

[ashen carbon]

these are good points

[undone briar]

yeah the difference between harvard and yale doesn’t drastically change much for the average person

[ashen carbon]

yale is pretty much the andover of colleges

[undone briar]

but i’m saying it very much could

[ashen carbon]

you go there to be immersed in a hogwarts of the rich

[undone briar]

and it’s important to be aware of that

[rustic cosmos]

^^

harvard is exeter, yale is andover

[ashen carbon]

harvard's both more realistic and less purely educational

[bitter path]

Random question but between Oxford and Cambridge, which one would u guys pick??

[ashen carbon]

you get less of a college experience and more of a harvard experience

[ashen carbon]

cambridge

[rustic cosmos]

oxford bcs its the quirky one but realistically cambridge because i like its stem programs more <3

[pallid rivet]

Oxford Cambridge seems more research based which is the field I don’t want to go into

[ashen carbon]

but also i think they're pretty similar especially since each college of each university is pretty unique anyway'

[undone briar]

and honestly i love the harvard grade inflation, I REALLY LOVE THEIR GAASA club which i know is a small reason, the food is shit but i’d be more than happy to eat slug and be at harvard

[rustic cosmos]

whats gaasa

[undone briar]

tbh idek the big difference

[undone briar]

generational african american student association, just more black community stuff

[pallid rivet]

It’s not a small reason it’s what you value

[undone briar]

and the thing is a lot of black representation at t20 are african immigrants or the children or african immigrants so i love how there is a safe space for@black americans

[pallid rivet]

Cultural acceptance is a big thing

[undone briar]

that’s really what it is

[pallid rivet]

Something I’ve come to value after being shunned as a minority in my area

[ashen carbon]

oh my friend was talking abt that

[undone briar]

yeah, most black representation at t20s is like over 75% children of african immigrants

so on the surface their might be a decent percentage of black students but there is usually SUCH a small percentage of black americans

[ashen carbon]

yeah black at harvard is amazing compared to its competitors from what i've heard

[undone briar]

which there are huge cultural difference

[undone briar]

yeah duke has that as well

not the club but a strong black community

[bitter path]

Is @tribal copper African American??

[undone briar]

also this guy named aaron thompson (black freshman at harvard) i’ve became obsessed with his videos and he’s do sweet

[stable pecan]

no

[bitter path]

I personally feel like if u are black, then harvard is definitely better

[undone briar]

just praying they want me 😍

[ashen carbon]

i feel like it really depends

[pallid rivet]

Boston alone plays such a big role vs New Haven

For a community

[undone briar]

i don’t

[ashen carbon]

but if that community matters to you then yes

[undone briar]

well yeah i guess on that

but for most black people community is important

nearly necessary to survive at any school

[bitter path]

I think community should definitely matter when u deciding between colleges no?

[ashen carbon]

i just suffered through four years of being the only east asian boy in my grade and i don't want to do that again

so i could not go to colorado college ngl

[pallid rivet]

One advantage ab being Asian in that regard is you’ll always be over represented at college 😅

[ashen carbon]

yup

[undone briar]

was like one of the biggest factor for me past a certain level

[rustic cosmos]

oml colorado college 💀

[pallid rivet]

Did you try for Howard and etc?

[undone briar]

one disadvantage of being black american is you’ll always be underrepresented

[ashen carbon]

their poc student body is majority white

[rustic cosmos]

yeah 💀

[undone briar]

yes still waiting, but also hbcu also just doesn’t equate to a strong black community, i feel like that’s a misconception (not saying you’re saying this but)

[tall moat]

at top colleges, yeah

[undone briar]

howard most likely won’t give me enough money

[tall moat]

at southern schools? nah

[ashen carbon]

this is not a joke btw its an official statistic

[pallid rivet]

Yeah large African American population =/= sense of community

[pallid rivet]

Ive heard that unfortunately hbcus suck at financial aid

[undone briar]

ok i’m sorry but this might be a hot take, i hate when schools, places, etc boast of a high amount of poc, but then if you see actual race statistics it’s usually a small amount of@black people 😭 and sometimes hispanic

[ashen carbon]

man systemic racism is wild

[pallid rivet]

Depends on the southern school

[undone briar]

yeah and i HAVR TO HAVE money 😭

[pallid rivet]

Are you ready to be the token African American in those brochures

[rustic cosmos]

fr its giving gatekeeping

[ashen carbon]

asians are pocs when it's profitable

[undone briar]

LMAOO

at harvard i might be 😂

but that’ll be anywhere i go

[bitter path]

But wouldn’t u say it’s easier to find a community when the population is larger??

[undone briar]

and i have the locs too? they probably won’t be playing no games

[pallid rivet]

Depends on that populations interest

[undone briar]

definitely but not always

[ashen carbon]

ive been the token asian kid a lot in hs

and ngl im so minority that i dont even know if im experiencing racism any more because im the only one

[stable pecan]

i understand what you mean but asians are poc so your wording is a bit off

[pallid rivet]

I mean my school is massively mixed like majority Hispanic

[undone briar]

sometimes i do think that being in a minority of a majority COULD also help strengthen the community

[ashen carbon]

yes

[undone briar]

well no that’s what i meant, the arkansas science school here for example boost of being like 40% of poc but 30+ percent of that is asian students

[bitter path]

Definitely

[tribal copper]

thoughts?

[undone briar]

that’s just a misguided statistic

[stable pecan]

it's not a misguided statistic that the school is 40% poc tho

[pallid rivet]

This guy is literally your case

[stable pecan]

anyways if you want to continue that convo, dont do it here and go to #🛩-lounge-chat because we now have a genuine question in harvard thread from overated

[ashen carbon]

i think his point is that you're diminishing asian people's marginalization

not accusatory btw

[tribal copper]

i’m saying

i agree with almost everything he says

[undone briar]

i don’t see it as that, i just think it’s a misguided way of showcasing diversity (sorry if it came across as diminishing asian marginalization)

[ashen carbon]

that's very fair

[stable pecan]

that's true, you can always try and compare aid when you get it

[undone briar]

i should’ve specified that though! so that’s completely my fault! but back to harvard

[ashen carbon]

the level of systemic racism for different people of color is a contentious problem

[stable pecan]

since right now you're working on generalizations for aid

[tribal copper]

yes unfortunately

[stable pecan]

i mean

you dont have tp make a decision now

[ashen carbon]

lmao you're totally good i'm sure we've already all had our interior chinatown existential crisis

[bitter path]

If u fr wanna pursue the same program as him, yale does seem like a better fit for u

[stable pecan]

so there isnt much of a rush except for having too much time on your hands

[rustic cosmos]

you could theoretically beg them for aid

they really want you

be like "urichmond gave me a full ride"

"can y'all do that too"

"thanks besties <3"

[stable pecan]

hmm

[rustic cosmos]

and they'll be like "ok bestie"

[stable pecan]

thats merit tho

you cant really put merit vs need

[tribal copper]

i could

[rustic cosmos]

ok but its still financial consideration

[tribal copper]

can i leverage the likely too?

[rustic cosmos]

yeah it means they rlly rlly want you

[stable pecan]

wait till you get your aid numbers to battle for aid

[bitter path]

Im sure u definitely can

[rustic cosmos]

^ i was referring to ur likelies when i said this

[tribal copper]

idk about the BS/MS but i wanna do mol biophysics and biochem

[ashen carbon]

i mean on the surface level yale is more interdisciplinary

[bitter path]

Whenever u have time, try to visit both colleges

See where ur heart is

[ashen carbon]

but in practice i wonder if you'd get more out of just studying physics lmao

and then picking up the bio knowledge simultaneously

[bitter path]

Just go with the first place u rlly like without overthinking too much

[undone briar]

i think you’ll love visitas

[ashen carbon]

or the other way around

[undone briar]

and i’m sure you’ll love bulldog days

yeah i was getting there 😭

[tribal copper]

i’m going to harvard this week and both of their visit days

[ashen carbon]

interdisciplinary work doesn't necessarily have to be designated that way

[tribal copper]

LMFAOO

[tribal copper]

hmmm

[ashen carbon]

sorry lol im a physics kid

[tribal copper]

i only took intro physics in hs😭😭

[ashen carbon]

you'll never catch me respecting biology

even when i know nothing about the field

[bitter path]

Real (i almost failed bio)

[ashen carbon]

also i truly don't know what this guy is on about

harvard definitely has bs/ms it's called concurrent masters

and im pretty sure its even more open than yale's you can do it in a whole different major

[zinc helm]

guys im so cooked. Im getting 0 aid😭 ima go into debt bro

[rustic cosmos]

average a2c income bracket goes crazy

[zinc helm]

this is all my fault. should done more research on css

[undone briar]

glad i make under 65k!!

[zinc helm]

no its cuz I sent in aid forms late

like

[stable pecan]

that doesnt mean no aid

um

[zinc helm]

yesterday and today late

[stable pecan]

just super late aid

[zinc helm]

oh

[stable pecan]

double check with each school

on the website

[zinc helm]

nevermind guys, were so back

🤑

[stable pecan]

A late application does not affect your eligibility or the amount of your award, but it may mean that you receive your aid decision at a later date than your admission letter.

-- harvard

[zinc helm]

HARVARD THE GOAT

[stable pecan]

just check with each of your schools

that you sent css late to

so yu dont get a nasty surprise

[zinc helm]

THANKYOU BERTHACKOBAMA

I WAS HAVING A PANICK ATTACK

yooo😭

[rustic cosmos]

lmao dw my parents were thinking we should submit after i get in 💀

i had to convince them to be slightly on time

we still submitted 2 weeks late 💀

[rustic cosmos]

i'm in that lower-middle-class-gets-screwed-over area

[zinc helm]

my mom worked around 3 jobs

but we make 6 figs+

caviat is theres hella people in our home

☠️

confusing situation to explain

[undone briar]

what’s lower middle class

give a range

bc i mean i would say im lower middle class

55k-60k

[zinc helm]

yeah I think

idk how its calculated tho

cause big family witht hat income may be hard

[bitter path]

For Harvard??

U definitely getting aid

U just gonna know how much later

[zinc helm]

hallelujah

[bitter path]

I literally applied for aid after i received my offer 💀

[zinc helm]

loll

now i only have to worry about getting in

[bitter path]

Just stand outside harvard with a stall that sells spicy lemonade and im 100% sure u getting in

[ashen carbon]

i was thinking about this the other day while waiting for the elevator outside jessica marinaccio's office

like should i just set up camp there in hopes of columbia acceptance

[undone briar]

that’d be a nice essay

[ashen carbon]

i walk past it twice a week anyway

[undone briar]

the way college applications have fried my brain

i’ll hear about someone’s experience with something and think about how good of a college essay it would be 😭

[rancid mural]

🐮

does harvard have cows?

[undone briar]

i don’t rhink so but chick fil a does

[bitter path]

I feel like we have lost it 😭😭 someone could be getting stabbed and we would stand there saying “what a nice college essay it would make”

[undone briar]

LITERALLY 😭😭

the world is lost 💀

including me

never felt so good to have trauma until i had a college essay

[bitter path]

Yes, one right here @minor pecan

[pallid rivet]

De program yourself this summer

[zinc helm]

I got my name bc of a girl I liked. We used to draw and do art competitions every day. I didnt have an artist name yet. I had a habit of drinking lemonade during our art competitions and she used alot of firey colors in her art. One day I was drawing for another competition and just came up with it randomly (spicy(fire), lemonade)

[bitter path]

(We missed u pookie 😔)

[undone briar]

oh sorry 😭

[rancid mural]

if harvard didn't have cows, i wouldn't apply there

[pallid rivet]

What are you apologizing for lmao

[rancid mural]

🐮

[zinc helm]

now spicy lemonade is my name on every media platform

[pallid rivet]

Like be free this summer

No concerns

[undone briar]

[pallid rivet]

Life is good - future

[undone briar]

[pallid rivet]

Beats writing essays

[undone briar]

[pallid rivet]

Publix ain’t hiring me 😔

[pallid rivet]

[zinc helm]

among other things

still keeping spicy lemonade as my name forever tho

[undone briar]

already am 😂

[bitter path]

Whoever is ur next girl, ik she gonna be tweaking

[pallid rivet]

Damn bro is an hoi4 ideology 😭

[ashen carbon]

i only hate ai art because i feel like people shouldn't neglect becoming artists

[pallid rivet]

Yooooo turnt

i had to walk into work right after the columbia likely and i could not contain my excitement

yes i did tell everyone i was ivy league bound now sorry

[pallid rivet]

I’m opening my Ivy decisions on machu picchu

In the middle of a hike through the Andes

[ashen carbon]

You got connection from a plane

[undone briar]

[pallid rivet]

If I get in I’m sending a picture to a2c on top of a mountain

[ashen carbon]

but i'm not waiting half a day

[undone briar]

which i think will make the break all the more gruesome

[pallid rivet]

2 weeks‼️

[ashen carbon]

the only time i will ever pay for plane connection

[undone briar]

AHHH

[ashen carbon]

oh yup me too

i just know i won't be able to work at all those two weeks

[tall moat]

I’m so hype bc I get to go to DC after decisions

No matter what imma be relaxed

[meager brook]

[pallid rivet]

Is there an hsda meet up or somethin

[tall moat]

Senioritis has humbled me

[meager brook]

i will take 4s

[ashen carbon]

yeah me too

let's see how much ap chemistry i can absorb in two weeks

[undone briar]

my app most likely already has a decision on it which is crazy

[ashen carbon]

yeah that shit is terrifying

[tall moat]

let’s see if I can draft my entire APR POD in two weeks…

[ashen carbon]

esp since i sent in an extra rec last week

[undone briar]

SMART CHOICE

support is an important rating

[late zenith]

wtf thats wild

[pallid rivet]

A rec 3 weeks before the decisions is crazy ngl

[tall moat]

ntm 😭😭

[ashen carbon]

yeah nah it was bad but my professor is notoriously late

cant really do much about it

it was also mildly redundant anyway

[pallid rivet]

Everything counts

[late zenith]

spring break?

[late zenith]

see you at trailblazing week! (half the class gets ivies)

[tall moat]

oh trust, trails will be blazed

[pallid rivet]

[left sky]

oh shoot you're gonna pit them against each other?

[tribal copper]

basically yea

[left sky]

which two schools are going in the cage this time

[tribal copper]

they can’t take my acceptance for asking for more $

[tribal copper]

harvard and yale

imagine if one gave me a full ride

[left sky]

what's the tale of the tape looking like

[tribal copper]

huh😭😭

[left sky]

like which one's looking more appealing rn

[fossil willow]

is ur income below 65k

or around there

[tribal copper]

nope

not at all

more around 120

[tribal copper]

definitely harvard

more generous

[fossil willow]

no full ride then, but you'd still get plenty of aid

[zinc helm]

same.

[tribal copper]

exactly

[zinc helm]

need that aid

[tribal copper]

i wouldn’t have to take out loans for either

but talking to some current harvard students the environment is nowhere near as bad as I thought

@fossil willow can we make a ‘28 discord?

[fossil willow]

the just the aura of harvard

[fossil willow]

there alrdy is one

[tribal copper]

[left sky]

oh you're not gonna double?

[fossil willow]

cus of mental and neuro stuff

[left sky]

[fossil willow]

[left sky]

gotcha ya don't have to

[fossil willow]

since i was diagnosed 2 years ago

[left sky]

if i get into cornell me and my homies gonna try and block together 😂

[fossil willow]

harvard does blocks after freshman year but i dont understand them 💀

idk how they work

[left sky]

lowkey from what i understand you gotta make the groups yourself

and those groups r placed in dorms inside houses

and you can link it w/ another group

[opal night]

dang that's a lot of work

[fossil willow]

just typical disability office stuff

it can be a long process

[opal night]

I remember when I went to a college summer program my mom didn't let me room by myself and she called and had me switch my entire set up dorm into another person's

[left sky]

😂

mom moment

[rancid mural]

is this the bumass college right next to MIT

[opal night]

Does the national definition of disability vary compared to job's definitions

[left sky]

yeah i think so

[rancid mural]

does it have cows

?

[fossil willow]

i dont have a psychiatrist cus none of the lgbt-friendly ones take my insurance so i will try to save up money and pay for some sessions to get that sorted

[rancid mural]

🐮

[opal night]

she had valid reasoning but yk annoying asf

[fossil willow]

dont think so

[opal night]

i've done some interesting stuff in my sleep

[fossil willow]

ur eligibility for the job can vary

[left sky]

nah

[rancid mural]

so i won't apply there

mid college

[left sky]

bro i tried some YSL at the mall earlier but i forgot which one 😭

i gotta go back and get it

[opal night]

ok bc when I was applying for jobs they considered my disabled and I had no idea bc no one ever told me

[rancid mural]

no cows no apply we go where cow moos there

[fossil willow]

i mean it depends on what the job is

[opal night]

starbucks barista

[fossil willow]

but if u need accommodations of any kind they will consider u disabled on ur forms

[left sky]

@rancid mural
