Harvard University (2023-2024)

[fossil willow]

most places here require u to be 19 to be a manager cus under 19 ur not a legal adult

[undone briar]

labor laws aren’t that strict here i mean it’s arkansas 😂

[cerulean flax]

I got mine from physics and English, then counseler, and then coach and a doctor who I've known for most of my life

[fossil willow]

get ur primary doctor to write u a rec 🔥

[pallid rivet]

Damn you also did 5🥶

[fickle rune]

I should've gotten one from my coach instead of the internship pres

[cerulean flax]

not my primary it's my renal guy since I get a lot of renal care

[fossil willow]

"dear harvard admissions,
this person didnt cry when i gave them vaccines as a baby, please accept them"

[undone briar]

thank you 🫶🏾 i’m sure it’s not though

[cerulean flax]

I'd ask my mom atp

[pallid rivet]

I’m saving one rec for a possible waitlist thing

[fossil willow]

why yall do so many recs 😭

[undone briar]

ATE

[fossil willow]

how do u even know that many people

[pallid rivet]

Fr

[cerulean flax]

idk I feel like an important part of me was my story as well as the connections I made

and I wanted that to be known

[undone briar]

bc i know they have a “support rating” and yeah i felt like it connected things

and also i submitted the 5th after my school report problem and i was stressing

[timber oriole]

harvard 3rd rec has the evaluation table right?

unlike most other schools

[cerulean flax]

wdym

[undone briar]

especially after seeing the bare minimum my counselor did (she didn’t know)

[timber oriole]

the common app evaluation table

ranking ur student

[undone briar]

all she did was list my gpa and act scores 😂

[fossil willow]

i chose my chem teacher cus when i asked her abt if i was ready to take college gen chem she said "people like you can do well in gen chem even without honors chem" 💀

[undone briar]

i submitted the same rec to all the schools so i don’t think so

[timber oriole]

no the table is mandatory to be filled

[fossil willow]

us history teacher is just goated

[cerulean flax]

my school counselor is very good

she's the goat

[undone briar]

it’s not

because i helped my teacher submit my rec

so i know that’s not true

[cerulean flax]

I had so much doubt throughoout the process and she helped me stay motivated

[pallid rivet]

Got 1100 people in my grade my school counselor didn’t have time to be personable

[fossil willow]

bro 😭

i got 160 people in my grade, 2 counselors for the whole school

[pallid rivet]

💀

[fossil willow]

they dont split grades they just handle dif things

[undone briar]

ours is by letter

we have 239

and 3 counselors in the whole school

[fossil willow]

1 of the counselors does schedules for the whole school

u can tell when its scheduling time

cus shes so stressed 😭

[steady anvil]

i have 50 ppl in my cohort👩‍🦲

[fossil willow]

i always feel bad bothering her

[fossil willow]

private school?

[undone briar]

that’s so fancy

[fickle rune]

30 people in my grade lol

[steady anvil]

nah its an early college

[fickle rune]

o shit I just realized it's technically 6 recs for me wtf

forgot about the counselor

[cerulean flax]

💀

[fickle rune]

aw nah am I cooked

[lament cypress]

why'd you send 6 recs 💀

[fickle rune]

desperation

[fickle rune]

Im about to send my 6th rec

[fossil willow]

my us history teacher used to work for one of the rich schools in my state and he said "just because i'm rural now doesnt mean i forgot what potential looks like"

like damn bro

[lofty depot]

school founder? john harvard???

[fossil willow]

bro became so philosophical 😭

[lament cypress]

ur really making the AOs do work ig lol

[undone briar]

[fickle rune]

my high school lol

[undone briar]

but my counselor didn’t send a proper req so

[fickle rune]

gotta get the most out of my application fee

[fossil willow]

shouldve got john harvard

[frigid herald]

I didn't send any additional recs other than the ones they allowed lol

[lofty depot]

oh mb

lol

[fickle rune]

if they're gonna reject me, the least I can do is waste their time 💯

[fickle rune]

Real

[undone briar]

she said “he has a 4.32 gpa and (my test score). he would be a great student at your institution.”

[undone briar]

they allowed 5

on common app

[lament cypress]

that might be the reason why they reject you 💀

[fickle rune]

Goated

[undone briar]

and they also had a place for additional reqs to be sent on portal

[lament cypress]

a one sentence LoR? 😭

[fickle rune]

it seems like a lotta people sent 5 here

[cerulean flax]

my counselor just attached my fifth rec in the portal

[lament cypress]

wild

[undone briar]

pretty much

[cerulean flax]

or maybe the last two

[tribal copper]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0rpKbjoX19I 😍😍

[cerulean flax]

idk

[undone briar]

the rest was like fluff

and not good fluff

[cerulean flax]

WWW

[fossil willow]

my counselors req was one page, i saw it when she was uploading my midyear but she clicked away before i could read anything

im so curious about my reqs

[undone briar]

well i got to read mine after the fucked up school report

bc then i had to help her make a new one

[lament cypress]

honestly i wish i took up my counselor's offer to let me read the letter

idk why i didn't

[undone briar]

and then she sent it off before i could correct her req 😭

[fossil willow]

huh 😭 do i know this lore

[undone briar]

like girl i need more than that

[fickle rune]

I mean it's 6 including counselor rec

[fossil willow]

worked for columbia

[fickle rune]

We got a bunch of ppl rn who sent 6

here

[undone briar]

i found out she fucked up actually bc of my quest bridge application

[cerulean flax]

I signed the thing so I can't read my recs

[undone briar]

yeah bc it definitely stresses the rest of my app. education REFORM

[zinc helm]

does this do anything really?

I signed too

[cerulean flax]

my school requires us to do it

I think it's good practice generally

[lament cypress]

i signed the ferpa thing but i still got to see two of my LoCs bc the writers just offered it 💀

[fickle rune]

damn

lucky

[lament cypress]

my english teacher literally gave me a print copy and three signed and sealed copies of it lol

[zinc helm]

bruh

[undone briar]

mine did too

[cerulean flax]

I don't think I will ask cause that looks bad if I'm too eager to see

[lament cypress]

those envelopes are just accumulating dust now tho 😭

[undone briar]

i’ve only not seen the one from my precal/calc teacher

[lament cypress]

i feel bad

[cerulean flax]

I will just read my admissions file to see if they said anything life changing

[timber oriole]

they dont let u know

its all crossed out

cuz of the agreement

[lament cypress]

i don't think you can see Lors if you signed away ferpa

yeah

[undone briar]

same

wherever i go

[cerulean flax]

if I had to bet

[tribal copper]

real

[undone briar]

also i’m making a reaction video 😭

[cerulean flax]

I would say my coaches rec was elite

[undone briar]

for ivy day

[lament cypress]

i'm wayyyy too scared to do that :,)

[tribal copper]

my calc teacher let me read his and it sounded like he used chatgpt to write it

[lofty depot]

[cerulean flax]

[tribal copper]

[fossil willow]

[fossil willow]

i was in the car and got yelled at 🔥

[fossil willow]

[tribal copper]

LMFAOOO

[orchid mason]

Y'all colleges keep admissions records? 😔

[tribal copper]

my lil brother told me to shut up

[fossil willow]

i was shaking the car 💀

[lament cypress]

i remember slamming a desk a lot during my EA decision lol

[rancid mural]

I wonder what my reaction will be

[fossil willow]

i fully expected to mark zuckerberg that shit, i did not

[tribal copper]

LMFAOO

[undone briar]

OH THATS CRAZY

[rancid mural]

Yeah many people go into that thinking they are

[cerulean flax]

Also this fire rec letter is what got me in

[rancid mural]

but the raw emotion takes over

[tribal copper]

best lor i ever seen

[fossil willow]

LMFAO

[undone briar]

i did chicken out rea but that felt wrong so

[lament cypress]

💀

[orchid mason]

MIT lets you see your app but they throw away like any actual notes they take 💀

[cerulean flax]

bro it was like a few days before the due date and this is what he sent me at the time 💀

I think he was messing and already got it done but

still funny

[orchid mason]

So that's why there aren't any admissions file reaction videos for MIT

💀

[undone briar]

that’s crazy

[lament cypress]

MIT EA just left me feeling dead inside lmao

not crying thankfully

[fossil willow]

"think" is crazy

[rancid mural]

long live bernoulli

[undone briar]

well stanford rea did hurt but i mean it was needed

[tribal copper]

[undone briar]

BIY BOY BOY

[rancid mural]

I’m scared Coby

[undone briar]

i am a little too, i’m keeping the faith

[orchid mason]

My reaction video had a blurry camera 😔

[fickle rune]

I just said "oh"

[lament cypress]

if ivy day goes horribly wrong then at least i can eat away my sorrows at my school's club fair <333

[fickle rune]

after getting deferred

[orchid mason]

I had my friends film it in the middle of class

[undone briar]

but im ngl i really really really love harvard (ik im not special) and it would hurt

[orchid mason]

😭

[undone briar]

but i think the best will happen

IT WILK

[orchid mason]

At least I got the good ending

[rancid mural]

[jolly hinge]

[fickle rune]

[jolly hinge]

[scarlet iron]

[cerulean flax]

[fickle rune]

I'm gonna shit myself if I get in

[lament cypress]

everyone loves harvard lol

[orchid mason]

I'm gonna record a deadpan reaction video for ivy day ong

[rancid mural]

Stanford and Harvard’s admission criteria is so different

[orchid mason]

huck farvard!!!!!

[fossil willow]

i think i'd get rejected stanford

[undone briar]

how so

[fossil willow]

i dont rlly fit California standards tbh

[rancid mural]

Why

[orchid mason]

Stanford intellectual vitality moment

[fickle rune]

Why?

[scarlet iron]

So true

They like quirky smart

[undone briar]

to be fair the girl from my state who got into all the ivies last year besides princeton got rejected from stanford as well

[scarlet iron]

Harvard likes academic weapons

[rancid mural]

Because Stanford values SPIV and quirk while Harvard likes deep passion

[cerulean flax]

just don't react for anything, and if accepted have like a tiny bit of confetti and if not just move on

[fickle rune]

dont they both like unique applicants lol

[undone briar]

by this knowledge i have no chance

[lament cypress]

they both like weird ppl

[scarlet iron]

For intls at least in my country

[cerulean flax]

harvard likes weird unique ppl

[lament cypress]

i think ivies in general like weird ppl

[rancid mural]

Not Yale

[scarlet iron]

They only admit gold international olys or promising athletes

[cerulean flax]

look at kace and I

[fickle rune]

I think top schools just like unique ppl lol

[fossil willow]

me either and im alrdy in 💀

[zinc helm]

cap

[orchid mason]

I wanna get good results on ivy day just to troll with my reaction video ong

[lament cypress]

yeah lol

weird ppl follow their passions <333

[undone briar]

LMAOO

i think harvard also likes come up stories

[fickle rune]

I am a unique + academic but idk how my combinations stand up

[scarlet iron]

getting into all but your face is flat

[cerulean flax]

lmk how it goes (the video and results) 🤞

[undone briar]

but stanford too tbh

[zinc helm]

yesssirrrrrr

[scarlet iron]

Literally did not smile

Try not to smile

[orchid mason]

I'm probably gonna film my face separately ngl 😭

[fossil willow]

i made a piece of paper to rationalize my rescind anxiety and it has "concern:, rationale: and conclusion:"

[orchid mason]

The voice over is gonna be funny tho

[fossil willow]

and now i keep it in my pocket

[lament cypress]

multi camera set up damn 💀

[fickle rune]

I think most schools do lmao

[orchid mason]

Screen recording and troll voice over 🔥

[rancid mural]

I’ll write notes to myself saying “pray for the best”

[undone briar]

i love that

[zinc helm]

my come up story is generational

[undone briar]

true, probably the only reason i got my likely

[orchid mason]

No I mean I'll screencap and record my face

I ain't posting my face online 😔

[rancid mural]

How insane are the come up stories?

[fickle rune]

you gotta have an insane app to get a columbia likely

[lament cypress]

ah

[undone briar]

does this mean i can be a lock for harvard (I PRAY) 😞

[undone briar]

it has to be the personality rating bc the test score 😱

[cerulean flax]

rural alabama gay adopted guy gets into harvard

[fickle rune]

Still

[orchid mason]

Time to record a 100% rejection video for ivy day 🔥

[undone briar]

[lament cypress]

[rancid mural]

[fossil willow]

LMFAO

[undone briar]

[lament cypress]

i live in pure mediocrity so idk 🤷

[rancid mural]

I’m asexual but didn’t say shit about it

[undone briar]

kinda a big part of my personal statement 😭

[rancid mural]

I’m stupid

[scarlet iron]

2

[orchid mason]

Same

[rancid mural]

Because Stanford doesn’t ask for your sexual orientation

[orchid mason]

I'm gay and I marked "prefer not to answer" on my apps lmfao

[fossil willow]

mentioning if ur lgbt just depends on if youve faced hate for it

[fickle rune]

ngl im kinda concerned i did a lot of shit but my application looks disjointed as a result

[rancid mural]

so I never brought it up unfortunately

[lament cypress]

my ass being gay and never mentioning it once on my apps 💀

[undone briar]

i just talked about my experience with my dad’s homophobia and how i persevered etc

[undone briar]

yeah

[rancid mural]

oooo

[orchid mason]

Real

[zinc helm]

me: african immigrant born with several disabilities into poor family of farmers. Had constant surgeries but cameroonian ones were dangerous. moved to us for better medical stuff and turned out I was extremely good at math. the rest is history

[fossil willow]

which is why southern gays usually mention it

[rancid mural]

everytime I mention I’m asexual my parents just say “No, you just have trouble talking to girls”

💀

[undone briar]

i connected it to roblox bc he said something while i was playing and used roblox as a metaphor for like a safe haven for me

[fossil willow]

people don't like us 💀

[undone briar]

then my essay took off from there

[undone briar]

heavy on this

[scarlet iron]

This is one to look out for honestly haha

[fickle rune]

Damn man

[rancid mural]

Ooooo cool

[undone briar]

[rancid mural]

Well fuck

[scarlet iron]

+20% chance of acceptance

[undone briar]

[orchid mason]

But seriously tho why do so many ivy+ admits have essays on Roblox

[undone briar]

[rancid mural]

MINECRAFT is better

[lament cypress]

[orchid mason]

[pallid rivet]

I used to play this game called conflict of nations and rp countries

[lament cypress]

idk i exist on the nationstates so i can't comment on it lmao

[fossil willow]

convinced half of ivy league admits played roblox during their early teens

[orchid mason]

Someone got into Harvard by writing about being a Roblox politician; I wrote one of my Penn essays on Roblox (and I talked about it in my MIT interview; I know at least two MIT '28 admits with a large amount of Roblox involvement; I know someone who got into Penn by writing about Roblox too; Kace already mentioned his story; Luck (the senior) got into Princeton CS and his CS justification was Roblox Studio

[undone briar]

“how roblox got me into harvard”

[orchid mason]

It really is a trend

[lament cypress]

in a purely insulated bubble of a region — away from the hells of nationstates itself

“I’m leaving this community forever, I’ve been betrayed beyond belief by Thunder so you can blame him for the fact that I’m never going to come back. To hell with this shit. You’ll all soon know that I WAS RIGHT and you’ll realize your mistakes. Gaint is a selfish person that only hosts to get it out of the way and we where actually heading somewhere. Somewhere where CS would actually live on. I hope you’re all sad with this new reality. And no I’m not going to kms but I really can’t do anything.”

[undone briar]

[lament cypress]

[rancid mural]

Yes

But not so much with acceptance

But I’m confident

They like quirk

And I’m pretty quirky cause of how autistic I am

[rancid mural]

(I actually have autism)

[lament cypress]

[rustic cosmos]

[rancid mural]

My drafts vs my finals are so crazy

[undone briar]

THIS

[lament cypress]

i think mine made sense bc i'd genuinely kill to go see Einstein on the Beach (the opera) 😭

[scarlet iron]

[scarlet iron]

[rancid mural]

No

[vital wharf]

its a trade school

[violet prawn]

[zinc helm]

yes

[rancid mural]

He went to Caltech

[violet prawn]

and no

[scarlet iron]

I watched young sheldon only

[violet prawn]

big bang is set at cal tech

but yea his actual undergrad is texas tech i guess

[rancid mural]

He gets accepted into caltech when he’s young

[violet prawn]

and princeton

[zinc helm]

he doesnt go for some reason

[rancid mural]

And he goes hooray buoyees

[errant phoenix]

[violet prawn]

i hate the writers for not sending

[rancid mural]

then he Sheldon’s all over the place

and the show ends

[zinc helm]

couldnt afford filming at caltech

[vital wharf]

😭

lool did u?

[violet prawn]

no to princeton

[errant phoenix]

i did and then withdrew

[violet prawn]

woulda set him right.

[zinc helm]

🔥

[violet prawn]

i cant wait to become disciplined at princeton

[vital wharf]

why withdraw

[zinc helm]

wait why tho

[errant phoenix]

i dont like the culture

and honestly i applied for my dad's sake

[zinc helm]

I mean you can always just ignore the acceptance(assuming you get in)

would be nice to know

[errant phoenix]

also dont want a rejection before ivy day

[vital wharf]

same culturally it feels like a party filled with introverts that stay in the same spot the entire time

[errant phoenix]

precisely

not my vibe

[zinc helm]

NO, I go out

to robotics

[lament cypress]

is the robotics workshop indoors…?

[zinc helm]

yes

[rancid mural]

Just noticed on my portal that my mid year report still shows as not received. Is it even worth sorting things out with my counselor and the admissions office at this point or should i just take the L

[zinc helm]

hurry and get counselor to email

[rancid mural]

does anyone have the admissions office email

[lament cypress]

strangle your counselor 👍

But yeah push them to submit asap

[zinc helm]

till this day it showed mit didnt recieve my mit mid year report

[lament cypress]

Check common app for the Harvard admissions office email

they usually list contact info there iirc

[lament cypress]

bruh 💀

I’m so glad I had a smart counselor

[zinc helm]

the thing was I emailed her twice and met in person

[lament cypress]

but I’m so sad that he retired in November

[lament cypress]

And she still didn’t send it?

[zinc helm]

they didnt recieve it so thats my only conclusion

💀

[lament cypress]

Ah

well rip 💀

[zinc helm]

maybe she lowkey doesnt like me for whatever reason

[rancid mural]

they have this email listed:
[email protected]

should i tell my counselor to email it to there

[vital wharf]

😂

[lament cypress]

shouldn’t the counselor have some sort of other wya to submit it?

Like ours use Naviance

Or is email the only way

[rancid mural]

its weird bc i used coalition (SCOIR) for some of my ivies, and majority show mid year transcript received but only harvard and yale show missing

[lament cypress]

I’m not at all familiar with SCOIR 😭

But you’ve definitely got to look into that

[rancid mural]

clearly i dont think my counselor is either

LMAO

[vital wharf]

wait did u end up getting yale interview

[errant phoenix]

nope

im cooked

[vital wharf]

looks like u gotta go to harvard now

sorry 😔

[errant phoenix]

is it possible to be auto but non likely

[timber oriole]

did u get a likely elsewhere?

[vital wharf]

yeah

[errant phoenix]

pfft nah

[vital wharf]

id say top 20% of harvard is auto but only like 10% get a likely

[rancid mural]

[timber oriole]

what does auto mean in this context

lock?

[errant phoenix]

hmm thats true

[rancid mural]

im so cooked bruh

[errant phoenix]

im j a coke scholar

usually we're not auto reject so irdk why i havent got an interview

[timber oriole]

oh ok

a coke scholar from my hs last yr got mass rejected for some reason

but that should be very rare

[errant phoenix]

oh nah

who

[timber oriole]

if i say the name i kinda dox myself

cuz same hs

[errant phoenix]

aw

u can dm if u want but its fine

[undone briar]

that wasn’t the best thing to say 😭

[timber oriole]

well anything is possible

but getting interview from yale is already a good sign so

[frigid herald]

If Kirk gets rejected then the world has ended and we have transcended to hell

[errant phoenix]

[tall moat]

yes

[tall moat]

i talked about grape strikes 😭 I did not think deeply on that one

[quiet nacelle]

what does a harvard 2nd interview mean?

[lofty depot]

congratulation!!!

[quiet nacelle]

up there somewhere is definitely better than down there somewhere

[lofty depot]

[lofty depot]

congratulations!! that's so cool

harvard on it's way too it seems

[zinc helm]

I wish it wouldve been earlier so I could u8pdate lmao💀 but someone cited it on wikipedia

on the official topic page

id say the topic but ez dox

[lofty depot]

wowie

[zinc helm]

that was my first paper too 💀 I wonder how many id get if I publish the research that i entered and qualified for national with

cant wait to tell mom when I get back from home

I can already hear what shes gonna say:
"your paper has more reads than your dads phd dissertation hahaha"

[lofty depot]

that is so COOL

[rancid mural]

hi dibbles

[rain tundra]

dude i sent 7

[zinc helm]

..

bro im now just learning you could send more than 3

had 4 but removed 1 cause no space on common app💀

[steady anvil]

wait why are yall sending that many

[rain tundra]

are interviews given out on a random basis?

[rain tundra]

ocd

[untold zenith]

it highly depends on where you live

[rain tundra]

in kazakhstan

[untold zenith]

there’s more yearly applicants to harvard than alumni interviewers

interviews aren’t really that important

they’re a very small factor of the admissions process

[rain tundra]

everyone keeps scaring the shit out me saying that if i didnt get an interview as an international student, im no logner being considered for harvard

[untold zenith]

that’s a lie

i promise you its not the make-or-break

[rain tundra]

i want to believe that it's a lie but everyone keeps saying that

cuz like 90% of adcmitted students were interveiwd or something liek that

[untold zenith]

the harvard admissions office has said several times that interviews are a only offered to a small percentage of applicants, and it’s mostly based on your proximity to an alumni interviewer/the interviewer’s ability that year

[untold zenith]

there’s no actual evidence for that statistic

[scarlet iron]

Why are u following me 😭

[untold zenith]

respectfully, this discord is almost entirely made of high schoolers

we’re all scared

[rancid mural]

thou shall follow your master

say hi to your master

[untold zenith]

there’s a lot of people who get interviews and don’t get in

[wicked kettle]

Yeah I’ve heard some variation of this for months now and the extent of proof given was just “it’s somewhere in the lawsuit documents”

[rancid mural]

you shall be prosecuted

[untold zenith]

even then, the lawsuit was pre-covid lol

[scarlet iron]

Bye bye

Its over its over

[untold zenith]

unless you work for the admissions office i take everyone’s info with a grain of salt

[rancid mural]

you shall live a worthless life. Your master curses you

[untold zenith]

it doesn’t impact my outlook on the admissions process at all

[zinc helm]

What am I reading

[rancid mural]

i am his master

🐮

[rancid mural]

now go and clean the kitchen.

stop yapping

[rancid mural]

your family shall be prosecuted in under a hour from now

you have disrespected your master from your shameless behaviour

[rain tundra]

i really really hope that this is true

😢

[untold zenith]

it is

believe me, it’s nothing to lose sleep over

[scarlet iron]

Isnt that just like how they formally word it

[untold zenith]

i mean, it’s kind of how it works

there’s more applicants than interviewers

[rain tundra]

the question is more about international applicants

cuz there's very few people applying from say kazakhstan or other countries like kyrgyzstan, pakistan, etc.

[untold zenith]

a lot of international applicants who get interviews tend to live in areas like western europe and eastern asia

[zinc helm]

There are less international interviewers than national

[rain tundra]

so the assumption is that they housld be able to get interveiwed cuz theres so few of them

[zinc helm]

They try to get interviewers from your area

[rain tundra]

yeah but if there a re like 3 applicants from one country and 1 interviewer for that country, shouldnt they all get interviewed?

[zinc helm]

There's more international applicants than international interviewers

[rain tundra]

i think thats the general concern

[untold zenith]

there’s a chance that there isn’t even an interviewer from a given country

[scarlet iron]

On a serious note tho from my country at least no one gets in without interview

[untold zenith]

and if the one interviewer from your country is out of the country/isn’t available during the interview timeline, they just won’t do interviews that year

[rain tundra]

there is cuz a persno from my school got interviewed last year

[untold zenith]

we still don’t know how the supreme court decision that must not be named is impacting the way interviews are conducted

this is the first application cycle where it hasn’t been allowed

we really can’t compare this entire application cycle to last years for any school

it’s literally hell for everyone who has to go through it, and having little information on the actual changes doesn’t make it any better

ivy day is in two weeks

[scarlet iron]

Tbh im treating it like nothing happened

[untold zenith]

i’m trying to spend the time until then being proud of all i’ve accomplished this year

you’ve done everything you can. it’s out of your hands now. enjoy the rest of your time at home before you have to go back into the grind cycle

[fossil willow]

thats not true

they will do a virtual interview

they try to have someone in your state/country do it but if theyre not available they will move on to the closest person

[undone briar]

hey not to be a downer but there kinda is

[fossil willow]

interviews wouldnt be affected by the supreme court lol

[zinc helm]

Do you think because they prescreen or because of how the interviews go

[undone briar]

i would think prescreen

i couldn’t imagine interviews making THAT drastic of a difference for everyone

[fossil willow]

ik yall r tryna be optimistic but you cant pretend like everything in the court documents are wrong now

[undone briar]

and

you could still be apart of like the 5-10%

[fossil willow]

im not saying u cant be optimistic but u should be both optimistic and realistic

[undone briar]

be optimistic in that way!

[fossil willow]

yes this

people DO get in without interviews, and it is still rare that it happens. both can be true

[undone briar]

yesss exactly

[zinc helm]

Yeah now that I think about it they gotta

[undone briar]

i thought it was proven that they did?

[zinc helm]

Like for my MIT interview they sent someone from my cultural background

😭

What are the odds

[undone briar]

oh my harvard interviewer wasn’t from my background

but i’m in arkansas

but she was definitely just like me when it comes to passion. she studied government/social studies and became a principal

EDUCATION REFORM!!

[zinc helm]

West African immigrant

[zinc helm]

Neither was mine. Lol

But just makes me wonder

[zinc helm]

My Harvard interviewer was complete opposite of me

We did not vibe

😭

[undone briar]

see goes to show

same demographic ≠ it will automatically happen

[fossil willow]

it just depends on who it is

and what u mean by prescreen

[rancid mural]

same messed up my chances at getting in fr 😞😞

why give me someone from pakistan 💔

[fossil willow]

it was shown that they give u a ranking of 1-4 depending on how soon they need an interview. the harvard club can pick an interviewer for you or the people themselves just opt in and get assigned

the actual college rarely picks who interviews you unless its a special case

this is for domestics

for intls i have no idea

i feel like my interviewer was chosen for me though because of his behavior

like the fact that he lives in new york and asked for my pronouns but i live in alabama

[lament cypress]

oh does the alumni group actually match ppl to interviewers based on interests?

[fossil willow]

depends on the club

usually no

unless they need to to give the applicant a better experience

[lament cypress]

Ah

[fossil willow]

i was terrified of getting an interviewer who lives in alabama

[cerulean flax]

Mine was nothing like me

Still a chiller though

[zinc helm]

Interviewer did not like me💀

[cerulean flax]

Why do you say that

[zinc helm]

By this I mean looking at your application and making interview decision based on that

[zinc helm]

😐his face the whole time. I also stutter alot

Then he wanted to change the topic when I mentioned anything stem

[wicked kettle]

that was like my stanford interviewer too

bro gave negative shits

[zinc helm]

I hope they barely even consider interviews

Because they can be biased

[undone briar]

i hope they do

i mean the whole process has bias

but i think the interview is one of their only ways of getting to know you

like authentically

[steady anvil]

we just gotta hope for the best now we can’t rly do much

[frozen night]

I am willing to wager you get in

2nd interview carries

[undone briar]

it doesss

i actually want one really bad ngl but i mean hopefully they don’t need it and the result is positive

[frozen night]

I didnt get a single one sadge

[cerulean flax]

Galleria Umberto Boston North End

SO GAS

Low key clears nochs

[steady anvil]

you mean we both will get in 🤫🧏

[undone briar]

gimme a piece

[bitter path]

If that’s the case, u will still get interviewed virtually, even if they are from a different country than urs

[undone briar]

harvard ‘28

[rain tundra]

wait what are you referring to? i'm sorry i really don't know much at all about the court case

[late zenith]

We alr know your in 🙄

[near obsidian]

a guy last year who got a likely letter from harvard told me he knew 7 ppl who got a second interview and they all got in

[late zenith]

Well it’s 50/50

[lofty depot]

yo don't write this stuff here

it hurts

[late zenith]

He’s not wrong tho

[near obsidian]

😭

[late zenith]

But yea it’s anecdotal

[lofty depot]

[near obsidian]

he ended up going to yale

LMAOOO

[lofty depot]

smartest human on planet!!!

[rain tundra]

International students

?

[near obsidian]

no

domestic

[indigo hill]

if an international student doesn't get an interview does that mean there's a lower chance of getting in?

[undone briar]

for everyone the odds aren't necessarily in their favor

90-95% of accepted students have interviews

[wicked kettle]

so ur saying there’s a chance

[undone briar]

YES THERE IS

[lofty depot]

[late zenith]

intl or domestic?

[undone briar]

both

[frozen night]

I dont like those odds

[undone briar]

you’re in the 5%

[fossil willow]

i find 5% to be great odds

but maybe thats just me

[tacit jewel]

shit so am i cooked already💀 thats great

[undone briar]

no they’re still sending them out and there’s still students who get in without them

[tacit jewel]

i see

"clinging on to life by the skin o' my teeth" as dave mustaine said

[fossil willow]

@tribal copper saw ur sub post

[tribal copper]

😭😭

everyone saying pick harv

[frosty hamlet]

idk

i really love yale

but i understand why harvard wins this battle most of the time

[orchid mason]

Pick Harvard so you can cross-register all your classes at MIT clearly

[cerulean flax]

Pick Harvard so you can be in Oats’ walls

[orchid mason]

Seriously though it's a tough choice

It comes down mostly to finances and personal fit tbh

[cerulean flax]

Yeah fosho

[orchid mason]

Like, imo Yale school culture > Hahvahd

But Boston > New Haven

Ofc Yale or Harvard might also be better for your specific major

Other factors too

But that's why commitment date is the 1st of May ig 💀

Have fun on Bulldog Days and Visitas

[tribal copper]

same but i’m also falling in love w harvard

those red brick buildings are starting to grow on me

[tribal copper]

yea i heard yale has the better undergrad experience

[jolly lichen]

hm

[jolly lichen]

Yale is just discount Harvard 🥱

[tribal copper]

but also, students are telling me if I’m outgoing and willing to meet new people i’ll have no problem at harvard

[orchid mason]

Harvard Campus is closest to the MIT campus, therefore, it automatically wins

[jolly lichen]

I am not very outgoing and had an amazing time at Harvard.

But I don't think this point is very school specific

[tribal copper]

finances is lowkey not an issue so it’s down to personal fit tbh

[tribal copper]

😭😭

[tribal copper]

🙏🙏

[tribal copper]

falling in love w harv the more research I do

[cerulean flax]

WWW

[steady anvil]

omg same like i love the housing systems

[toxic oar]

my hate for harvard grows with every passing day (let me in)

[zinc helm]

I got a harvard ad on youtube. this is a sign

[lofty depot]

Harvard does ads?

[zinc helm]

Harvard summer school

[lofty depot]

Ah i see

Definitely a sign

[ebon glacier]

A sign fr

I'll be waiting for that acceptance letter from you

[jolly lichen]

what are you thinking for major?

[quiet nacelle]

admissions officer

i fear that interview may have been the singular moment i was accepted / rejected

[fossil willow]

yeah thats good then

[fossil willow]

seeing as its 50/50 thats a possibility lol

but i doubt it

typically its to help applicants

if theres smth specific they need to know

or clarify

[quiet nacelle]

interestinng

i thought it was a pre screen if you were on the border

[fossil willow]

wdym by that

[quiet nacelle]

like they have borderline accept/reject applicants, and so the admissions officer wants to interview the applicant themselves

I felt as if I didnt have much to add, which was unfortunate

she did say at the beginning that there would be some overlap between the alum and the 2nd ao interview, but i still hope that she was able to add a lot to my app
