[lunar star]

Might be going straight from Columbia to Visitas to BDD so I won’t have that as an option 😭😭

[fossil willow]

[rancid mural]

wow omg ur cracked

[fossil willow]

i wanna shower there to get the gender inclusive bathroom experience

[lunar star]

Nooo just lucky

[bitter path]

Dont let him fool u, he is currently a freshman at harvard studying cs or sum like that

[rancid mural]

im sure itll be inclusive - esp during visitas

[fossil willow]

nah i mean the gender inclusive dorms

[lunar star]

The water pressure better be good 😭😭

[rancid mural]

but i just get grossed out w/communal showers and im 45 min away from boston so like i might as well just get to shower at my own house

[fossil willow]

[tall moat]

LMAOO STOP READING MY MIND

[lunar star]

Buc-ee’s my bestie

[unique pasture]

oh i see

[covert stratus]

bathrooms at yale are communal

[near obsidian]

wb harvard

[covert stratus]

they have a standard set up though: showers + toilets are all behind another door, and the general area is open so you can go in, use sink etc

[near obsidian]

how do dorms work at harvard

[covert stratus]

also you can request single sex bathrooms but like

idk how that works

i assume they just floor you with people of your gender

[covert stratus]

i dont go to harvard sob

https://collegerenovations.yale.edu/sites/default/files/styles/adaptive/adaptive-image/public/bath-3rd-floor-rr_w.jpg?itok=rA15P9AC

typical yale bathroom™️ (actually from the building i live in!)

the disabled/walk in showers are uncommon though, its only cause this building has an elevator

[unique pasture]

that's better than i expected

[ebon glacier]

Wait this looks really good lmao

[honest finch]

wait this is actually s onice

[covert stratus]

tbf i live in a fairly nice building and this picture is unrepresentative in size

[honest finch]

it's so freaking clean too

ah

still 🤩

[unique pasture]

imagine if this beautiful tile were carpet

i have no words.

[lunar star]

Why

Just why

[covert stratus]

what

why

[covert stratus]

haaha it definitely isnt that clean atm sob

but they do clean fairly often

most weekdays

[unique pasture]

[unique pasture]

how does one leave the shower

[unique pasture]

like that's what it looks like NEW

imagine it in 3 months

this is a gimmick to profit carpet refurbishers

who VOLUNTARILY chooses to do this to themselves

[honest finch]

carpet in the bathroom...

?????

[unique pasture]

[tribal copper]

bro it looks so good

mogs harvard

[ebon glacier]

This is... def an interesting design

[woeful grove]

hi chat

[fossil willow]

yeah i will be in an all-gender floor or dorm or whatever

[woeful grove]

when do we get the mail

[fossil willow]

so im guessing its just the same setup

[fossil willow]

mine took a month cus it got returned to sender

it depends on ur location

[woeful grove]

Closer u are to Boston the faster right

[fossil willow]

yes

[woeful grove]

shouldn’t be too long since im in Jersey

[solemn quest]

Why is this lowk funny😭😭😭

[fossil willow]

[minor pecan]

[lunar star]

Ohhh

[lunar star]

[near obsidian]

[undone briar]

hi guys

wait

hi

[errant phoenix]

hello

[lunar star]

Hii

[errant phoenix]

hi

how r my HYPSM ppl

[lunar star]

Just choked on water, wbu?

[errant phoenix]

im in LA rn and it’s raining. not fun

[sacred orchid]

im about to play some fortnite RAHHH

[lunar star]

Perfect weather to stay in bed and put on a movie 🥹

[sacred orchid]

waittt is yarvardia yale+harvard+columbia??

[errant phoenix]

yes it is!

[sacred orchid]

yooo :o

me too

do yk where u might commit

[lunar star]

Yea!!

[lunar star]

Not yet, it’s a super hard choice 😭😭

[errant phoenix]

I had an order when I applied 😭

Stanford Harvard Princeton Duke Wharton

I TOLD YALL I’d COMMIT BY 4/1

And I did.

[sacred orchid]

yeahh

i wanna do physics so im lik

95% choosing harvard

[lunar star]

Omg you got your top choice

Honestly, I didn’t expect to get into 3

[errant phoenix]

yessss

go visit and feel em out fr

[lunar star]

Getting one was like a dream already so I didn’t rank them thinking I would only get 1

[lunar star]

Yesss I’ll do that 🫡

[errant phoenix]

Texas kids up!

[sacred orchid]

my dream school was princeton and i didnt get in so that makes it hard

but if i had to choose between harvard and princeton thatd be super difficult for me at least

harvard v yale is at least a bit easier for me

[errant phoenix]

I need the entrepreneurial culture

Hence Stanford

[sacred orchid]

wild statement yet valid

[fickle rune]

Yessirr

[tribal copper]

nobody got allat 💀

[tribal copper]

come to harvard

[errant phoenix]

Oh.

[tribal copper]

yeah you'd prob have to be crazy cracked

actually richael did it last yr

[errant phoenix]

No she did not!

She got rejected Stanford REA

[tribal copper]

WAIT REALLY

DAMN

not even richael could do it omg

[errant phoenix]

Yeahhh

[tribal copper]

it's ok

i heard she's thriving at harvard

well

i just heard she's at harvard

assumed the thriving

[errant phoenix]

she is there yuh

prob thriving

she’s a legend

[lunar star]

Most likely but we’ll see

[tribal copper]

most likely**

no we'll see 🤫

[lunar star]

We need to all meet up at Visitas 🥹

Take an A2C pic

That’d be cool

[hidden bloom]

Haha yea..

(Not joking, I have the certificate and everything)

[tribal copper]

FACTSS

[tribal copper]

💀

[lunar star]

We need to make a group chat on Insta for that day, don’t know why but I check Insta more 💀

[frigid herald]

@minor pecan does Harvard have an app for their myharvard portal

[tribal copper]

[lunar star]

It’s full lol

[minor pecan]

[tall moat]

wait let’s make one

[tribal copper]

[tribal copper]

[tribal copper]

[minor pecan]

[tribal copper]

LMFAOO

[minor pecan]

he's a scaredy cat

[tribal copper]

i'll try my best

i can bully him at visitas

[fossil willow]

im not doing the outdoor thing

[tribal copper]

KACE

u gonna see me at visitas

and it wont be nice

:(

[fossil willow]

i am the opposite of an outdoors person

[tribal copper]

shut

ew why does it just sound like a bunch of lectures

BORINGGG

[lilac yew]

harvard or princeton

[late zenith]

for you harvard

harvard>wharton

for finance

harv is the best school btw for finance too overall

[tribal copper]

harvard

[lilac yew]

wait can you explain this? doesn’t wharton beat it in almost every way domesticly?

[random gale]

bet me too

if u make one add me

pls

[tribal copper]

pm me!!

[random gale]

i just got added thanks bae

[covert stratus]

my understanding is fedex intl, usps domestic

[covert stratus]

tbf i picked a good example 😭

bt tbh yale dorms are generally nicer than harvard's given they were basically all refurbished more recently

[frigid herald]

Idk Yale CS vs Harvard CS I’m thinking Harvard CS

[covert stratus]

i am yale cs if you have more specific questions i just hop into this chat from time to time

[frigid herald]

did you choose Yale cs over Harvard cs?

Idk I’ve just heard Yale bad STEM

[covert stratus]

only got into yale

got in REA so applied to two other schools lol

[frigid herald]

oh lmaoo

but if you had to choose which would you choose

[covert stratus]

tbh probably still yale? the academics are fine, and the vibes are better at yale. the "yale STEM bad" stuff is quite overstated

the big differences will be the size of the department (yale CS is smaller, though has been on a massive hiring spree) + access to MIT courses if you somehow run through the harvard catalogue, and capital (the yale CS building sucks, harvard's is brand new)

CS are getting a new building but you know how slow building shit is lol

[frigid herald]

Fair

I also got Into Cornell and Columbia CS lmao

[covert stratus]

bro is running through the ivies lol

[frigid herald]

And Duke CS but not ivy

[covert stratus]

i think one of the big things is whether you want to go into academia or just get a job

[frigid herald]

Just get a job

[covert stratus]

if academia cornell might honestly be the best option lol

[covert stratus]

in which case columbia / harvard / yale are all gonna be fine

you're not getting rejected for going to either of those schools by anyone

[frigid herald]

Cornell cs is top #5 but I’m interested in going to an Ivy League

[covert stratus]

a real ivy

lol

[frigid herald]

Idk I feel like for CS I gotta go Harvard

Between Harvard and Yale

but I like Yales campus better and I’m sure I’d have fun times there

[covert stratus]

though tbh the big issue i have with yale is the location, though that's something which i probably realised quite late — new haven is safe, quaint, has lots of shops, etc., it's just too small for me

need to be in big city™️

not like nyu big but like columbia or harvard big

[frigid herald]

host me for bulldog days

[covert stratus]

im not hosting sob

suite doesn't want to

[frigid herald]

[covert stratus]

just go random you'll be fine

and tbh it's probably for the best

[frigid herald]

y

[covert stratus]

i think we ended up waking up the people we hosted a lot at night

night owls etc

[frigid herald]

ah

I wouldn’t mind lmao I’m a night owl myself

but I will go rnaodm

I have to find my last tetanus booster date tho

[covert stratus]

yeah unfortunately the events start quite early so you gotta be normal for a few days lol

[frigid herald]

honestly

I got my Yale decision leaked to me

[covert stratus]

how

[frigid herald]

Well I mean A they were still asking for finaid stuff 2 days before decisions

But more importantly when I logged into the portal my checklist popped up with Yale 2024 Travel Program

before I even viewed my decision

[covert stratus]

oh huh that must be a change in policy

yale hid some finaid info requests and waited to release them till REA decisions

[covert stratus]

you gotta come to yale to fix the bugs there smh

[frigid herald]

They were just emailing my ass

and then I responded and no one ever emailed me back

To this day lmao

[covert stratus]

yeah you have to poke them a little

[frigid herald]

But my Yale finaid is cracked they’re gonna pay me money to go there

[covert stratus]

they're generally better with students

[covert stratus]

same #fullride

how is ur aid at other colleges?

[frigid herald]

Harvard hopefully with match it

But no aid package yet

[covert stratus]

they should

[frigid herald]

rest aren’t great but not terrible

Columbia’s like 5k/yr

Cornell 8k/yr

uh

Duke was like 6k

Rice 8700 and uva idk I haven’t opened UVAs portal since I got the decision

[tall moat]

honestly I bet harv will be better somehow

they gave me crazy aid compared to all of my other schools by a huge margin

[frigid herald]

who are you again

jk lol

[late zenith]

its marginal, but harvard's connections/prestige/alumni network is a bit better then wharton and def better then penn as a whole

especially for more insane careers like pe/vc harvard solo's by a good margin, wharton is very good still but harvard has a slight upper hand for undergrad, but for overall finance in the grand scheme of things harvard will be more beneficial, but cant go wrong with any

[lilac yew]

thanks 🙏

[hollow rose]

Yale , Harvard , Berkeley regents or CMU for Mech engineering? Help !!

[covert stratus]

not harvard or yale

[covert stratus]

tbh every school calculates it differently

i think yale aid is generally better though

they cover a lot of stuff harvard don't —e.g. for they cover federal taxes, which are like $3k/yr in hidden costs most international "full rides" dont get covered

[near obsidian]

wait what

harvard gave me like

$5k more than yale

[covert stratus]

im just going by vibes

yale should match though

[unique pasture]

would you turn down harvard for alabama state university

[tribal copper]

💀💀

[lunar star]

Wild

[fossil willow]

god no

[hollow rose]

What is your major? Are you committed to H?

[fossil willow]

i think i would rather jump into a vat of acid

@solemn edge defer to accept is insane

[solemn edge]

It was bc I had bad grades earlier in hs

So like sophomore year I did 4AP 2 honors but had a 3.6uw bc of family stuff I was barely in school

Junior year I did 3 ap 1 de bc of scheduling conflicts and got a 4.0

So bc I was taking 3 ap 5 de senior year they wanted proof I could handle and actually rigorous courseload

[wraith schooner]

disagreed about pe/vc

but first point stands harvard conncetions and prestige clears

i'd go to harvard

[late zenith]

ehh

[late zenith]

Undergraduate target --> IB --> PE analyst --> HBS --> PE associate

or if u go straight harv

[errant phoenix]

bro don’t argue w the penn student

[late zenith]

its easy

mb

u cant go wrong with both

[wraith schooner]

undergrad per capita for Bx KKR clears harv

but youre comparing apples to orange

oranges

wharton produces finance socialable bots

harvard produces well rounded intelligent slightly stuck up ppl

[late zenith]

yeah fair

[wraith schooner]

go to harvard though

[upbeat lark]

.

100,000TH MSG LET'S GOO 🗣️

[raven umbra]

did harvard release their WL stats

[eternal jungle]

im pretty sure that comes after may 1st

cause they have to see how many people committed

[light prairie]

Prolly over 1000 on WL

[minor pecan]

they never do

but usually 0-60 people get off

out of nobody knows how many

[pallid moon]

[strange wedge]

Damn it’s been a whileee

[solemn edge]

Hey guys I have a friend on the wl who is literally better than I am should I write him a peer lor? Like about how smart and passionate about biochem he is?

[errant phoenix]

Ummm idt so

[frigid herald]

I don't think so either lol

[solemn edge]

Ok cool

I figured it wasn’t ideal but idk

[eternal jungle]

idk how much they would weigh peer lors anyways

[solemn edge]

I’ve heard colleges can get kinda unique with getting students of waitlists

Bc they’ve already been vetted, and are just looking for something to tip them over

Idk

[errant phoenix]

How would you even send a LOR lol

[tribal copper]

no

realistically, he’s not gonna get off the wl

best advice would be to tell him to move on😭😭😭

[solemn edge]

Nah he has a crazy chance tho bc his sibling got in rea

[shrewd tide]

lol that would be

haha

for some context, my twin got in rea and i feel like most twins are either accepted or rejected. idt i know anyone who has a twin who committed while the other is on the waitlist

but idk

[late zenith]

they try to take twins usually

ik two twins that got in harv rea

schools dont rlly wanna seperate them but thats anecdotal

[shrewd tide]

yeah but i applied rd because i wasn't really confident with my stuff at the time

[fossil willow]

wdym how

u just use the link

[errant phoenix]

?

[fossil willow]

what r u confused about 😭

u dont have to be a teacher to submit a lor

[errant phoenix]

ur confused abt my question how would one submit a LOR for a waitlisted student

[fossil willow]

u just would?

im not confused ab ur question lol

waitlisted students portals are still open

if the portal is open u can submit a lor

new lors are how a lot of waitlisted kids get in

[errant phoenix]

i’m pretty sure u can’t submit LORs for waitlisted people tho

[fossil willow]

yes u can

why would u not be able to

[errant phoenix]

oh

[tribal copper]

dont send a peer lor💀💀

[tacit tendon]

what happened 💀

[tribal copper]

someone’s friend was waitlisted but wants to send in a peer lor

tbh i dont think its worth it

[tacit tendon]

i mean i can see it working and i can also see it not working

ykwim

[near obsidian]

anyone get their physical letter yet 🤓

[tacit tendon]

where do u think ur gonna commit

[near obsidian]

IM NOT SURE

😭😭😭

rn i’m leaning harvard cuz of aid and location

but yale i heard has better community but honestly that’s objective so idk

[tacit tendon]

well what r u majoring in

[tacit tendon]

its objective but i've heard harvard is kinda toxic

especially compared to yale

[near obsidian]

cognitive science @ yale

[frigid herald]

my Yale aid was wildly better than Harvard. Still hoping Harvard will match 🙏

[near obsidian]

but harvard doesn’t have that but it has something similar through a track so it’s prob gonna be

computer science under the mind brain and behavior track @ harvard

[tacit tendon]

so yale is directly better than harvard for ur major

how much is the aid difference

[near obsidian]

like

[tacit tendon]

like is it a lot for u

[near obsidian]

$7k

[tacit tendon]

(idk ur situation)

[near obsidian]

but also i think i just like how close cambridge is to boston

😭

[tacit tendon]

that's fair

is 7k like

a lot a lot for u? or is it managable

becuase if it isn't then it comes down to location vs major fit + community vibe

[near obsidian]

no it’s not crazy and i think i can appeal to match

yeah ur right 😭

[tacit tendon]

r u dead set on cog sci

[near obsidian]

nope

but it’s like

75%

LMAO.

[tacit tendon]

soooo ur pretty much set lolol

[near obsidian]

i mean cogsci @ yale id do human computer interaction

it’s the same as harvard

[tacit tendon]

thats fair

i mean u should appeal first

see if yale gives u an even better package

than harvard

what if they just want u that bad yk

[near obsidian]

ya ur right

[tacit tendon]

after that idk, the location isn't something u can change but just compare direct major + community vs location

they're both really good schools tho

so congrats

[near obsidian]

yup

tysm

idk how i got in LMAO prob personality if i had to guess

😭

[tacit tendon]

bros personality pops off

got a 1 on the personal rating

it's the hardest to get too tho

trust u got it

[near obsidian]

yaaaa my alumni interview went amazing and i had an ao interview

[tacit tendon]

WAHT

AN AO INTERVIEW FOR HARVARD IS CRAZY

[near obsidian]

ya

[tacit tendon]

i've never heard of that lmfaofoa

[near obsidian]

she reached out after to congratulate me too

[tacit tendon]

def more than js personality..

u were cracked trust

[near obsidian]

but i think that’s everyone

😭 naur

[late zenith]

Prayers for Shane 🙏

[near obsidian]

omg ya

shane 🙏

[hollow rose]

Any feedback on mechanical-eecs at Yale guys

[frigid herald]

hmmm what other colleges did you get into

[undone stone]

@near obsidian where are you learning?

[barren tusk]

a lot of ppl do psych or neuro at Harvard and you can do the MBB track in a lot of different concentrations, eg in philosophy

[hollow rose]

Any data on how many ppl typically get off of Harvard WL

[barren tusk]

also idk why ppl think Harvard is more toxic than Yale, I feel like this just depends on who you surround yourself with, but the schools are v similar - including the student body tbh

tho I will acknowledge that the food is known to be better at Yale. plus having a whole week off at thanksgiving…

[minor pecan]

Less than 50 in the years harvard released info about

[hidden bloom]

That’s a lot wth

[near obsidian]

do yk anyone doing cs under mbb?

[near obsidian]

harvard

i was leaning yale for a bit cuz of food, campus and the community thing but tbh the location of harvard (cambridge n proximity to boston) + the cross registration at mit outweighs yale

• the dining food at the harvard houses look good sooo

[winter sail]

I heard that Harvard dining hall food is not good

[minor pecan]

not true

i had this for dinner today inside the dining hall

[winter sail]

Do you go to Harvard

Umass Amherst has better food

And it’s a public school 😭

[minor pecan]

so is cornell but i wouldn’t go to either over harvard

just for ‘better food’

[winter sail]

Do you have a picture of the burger you had?

That one is all glammed up

[winter sail]

I don’t know where you got this from lmaooo I did not say this

[minor pecan]

i dont really use my phone while eating so no

but the food is pretty okay i would say

[frigid herald]

It all looks fine to me. Maybe not like gourmet but tbf a lot of does actually like kinda gourmet

Like I saw a YouTuber at Harvard get chicken Parmesan

looked gas

[barren tusk]

I don’t personally but I’m sure you can reach out to HCS or WiCS at Visitas and they’ll find someone for you to talk to!

the food is alright. depends on what you’re used to. like yes the food at Yale is supposedly better but I feel like that’s just a dumb reason to pick a school ngl

[errant phoenix]

It’s a very important reason fr fr

[frigid herald]

yeah but still harvard'28 fr

[errant phoenix]

Well ur CS I would 100% pick Harvard over Yale

[frigid herald]

harvard superior

[rancid mural]

i've only seen like, 2 yale CS in my life

[near obsidian]

u got me here

harvard 28 it is

i look better in red anyway…..

[vague hemlock]

the only way to pick colleges

[fossil willow]

bro this is such a good reason ngl

i have never looked good in blue 💀

[uncut canyon]

its ok i didnt get into harvard red washes me out :C

[near obsidian]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[covert stratus]

quality of education really isn't thatttt different

vibes are more important at that level and the colleges do have quite different vibes

[vague hemlock]

guys how is dating at harvard

[subtle ridge]

real

[frigid herald]

Good for students bad for wannabes like smirithi

[woeful grove]

nooo

[sterile onyx]

nah a mike ross here is crazy LMAO

[woeful grove]

LOL

[sterile onyx]

are u gonna study law?

[woeful grove]

nah cs

I’m taking a class in Japanese law tho probably

[sterile onyx]

damn so not a real mike ross

[woeful grove]

ima go to law school after

[sterile onyx]

ok might be mike ross

[woeful grove]

cs + law school = patent law pipeline

[sterile onyx]

W

congrats

[woeful grove]

thanks twin

[covert stratus]

generally dating at al these top schools is quite hookup heavy, and also biased against anyone named smrithi

[frigid herald]

Thank you for the support

[vague hemlock]

im asking for a friend😔🙏

[vague hemlock]

why are you hating me i don't even know you

[frigid herald]

bc you’re a d1 hater

so you get d1 hated

I don’t make the rules I just follow them 💪

[vague hemlock]

valid

BUT AGAIN

NOT FOR ME

i didn't even apply to harvard lol

[frigid herald]

Where did you apply

[vague hemlock]

a bunch of places

only 3 ivies

[frigid herald]

ah

[vital wharf]

hookup heavy in the stacks 😂

barely heard of any of these ivy scholars getting caught though

prob cuz they are too pussy to do it at noon during finals week

[lament mulch]

Lol idk abt this

About these top schools being uniquely hookup heavy

[covert stratus]

yeah it's not unique i probably should be more clear

college students are not particularly good at committing to things

[tribal copper]

prob gonna be horrible for me💀💀

[tribal copper]

i did!!

[tribal copper]

LMFAOOOO

are u serious abt the hookup heavy

[frosty hamlet]

i got it today!

[tribal copper]

my goattt

[vague hemlock]

why

[tribal copper]

im rizzless

[vague hemlock]

didn't you pull at richmond

and your prom date

[tribal copper]

[covert stratus]

yale and harvard goes so much harder than princeton

[tribal copper]

lmfaoo real

the welcome to yale is iconic ngl

[hidden bloom]

L take

[hidden bloom]

Not real

[covert stratus]

it's just a fairly average photo of campus, with some text over. and the orange lines which can't decide whether they're over or underneath the text

[hidden bloom]

Nah

Princeton is prolly the best looking one

Other 2 too simplistic

[tribal copper]

simplistic>>

i like the black on the back w princeton tho

[hidden bloom]

Real

[frosty hamlet]

Real

[tribal copper]

💀

@hidden bloom princeton isn't paying for my travel

this is why i'm not gonna commit

[hidden bloom]

Did u alr get off waitlist

[tribal copper]

yea

[hidden bloom]

Bruh there’s no form

When u sign up

It’s only 3 hrs

Drive

[tribal copper]

stfu

5 hours

[tribal copper]

wym?

[hidden bloom]

There was a form for me when I signed up

[tribal copper]

BRUHH

why does pton hate me

i called them abt aid today and the lady was so dry

but at harvard they welcomed me w open arms :>

and congratulated me and shi

pton DGAF

[subtle ridge]

are you making an appeal for fin aid?

[tribal copper]

i just wanteds to see when they'd give me my package 😭

[subtle ridge]

oof

i need to email them to make an appeal but genuinely dont know what to say

[dull vault]

its a sign

[tribal copper]

did u get ur aid back?

[dull vault]

harvard is a G princeton is a

[tribal copper]

yup sign NOT to go there

[dull vault]

P

[subtle ridge]

i got my aid same day as decisions

[tribal copper]

ohhh

[subtle ridge]

i checked march 29 at like 1 am bc i was at a concert LOL and it was there

[tribal copper]

yea lowk its between harv or yale for me

[tribal copper]

goat

[subtle ridge]

thank u thank u

[dull vault]

harvard

yale is

erm

in connecticut

[tribal copper]

facts

[tribal copper]

also do u have anything u can negotiate with?

[subtle ridge]

yeah harvard's fin aid

and also net price calculator

is like 14k off

[tribal copper]

wym 14k off

like

higher or lower

[subtle ridge]

so net price calculator says i should be paying 6k

and pton gave me 20k to pay

plus i make under 100k for household income

[tribal copper]

WAIT WTF

that is NOT normal

yea def ask them to recalculate

for harvard net price calc said 11k

and i only have to pay 6k

like in most cases fin. aid will be better than expected

so sum is def off

[subtle ridge]

yeah im going to go through my css and all of that to see if i may had put something in wrong but i also submitted tax docs

tbh i think the better bet might actually be scheduling a meeting or a call LOL

[tribal copper]

yes probably

ask @undone stone he was able to get his stuff sorted out w a call

[subtle ridge]

wait did u appeal fin aid somewhere and if u did what did u include in the email??

[tribal copper]

so harvard actually gave me rlly good aid but i wanna see if i can somehow get more 😭

im gonna try to tell them abt how my mom is working less hours and is planning on starting nursing school

and i wanna talk about how i have a full ride + $4k research grant at urichmond even tho thats merit maybe it might work idfk

and then hopefully pton aid is even better than harvard

and i can leverage that

if i get harvard price to go down even a little i'm committing

[hidden bloom]

Cause u not committed

[subtle ridge]

mmmm i see i see

[tribal copper]

she makes me want to commit

[hidden bloom]

W

[tribal copper]

pton students do too

like take my life /s

🤫

[subtle ridge]

yeah like for me i dont have anything just some of my offers genuinely make no sense

but im stuck tbh between pton and harvard for rn

[errant phoenix]

tbh j randomly choose

[subtle ridge]

im someone who takes 10 minutes to order food at a restaurant i have no idea how someone is even supposed to pick between the two

im visiting both so hopefully that helps

[covert stratus]

true tbh

[covert stratus]

what ur major

[jolly lichen]

harvard>> 😤

[fossil willow]

how good

like whats leftover under billed expenses

[frigid herald]

I’ve got like 3k left over after billed expenses/yr

About 1.5k/semester

[strange wedge]

Where tf is my package

This isn’t fair

[strange wedge]

It’s the way I don’t blame u

I would’ve already been in a harvard dorm already bruh

[tribal copper]

chemical and physical biology with a potential double concentration in applied math or statistics (idfk yet)

[tribal copper]

direct costs are just under 6k/year

factoring in indirect costs, they estimated 9.5k/year

[tribal copper]

copeee

im a few hours away from princeton prob why

[tribal copper]

💀💀💀

prestige whore

[strange wedge]

Yo watch your back foo

[fossil willow]

cus im bored

idk whay to do while waiting for visitas

[minor pecan]

look at restaurants and thins to do

near harvrd

here's some reccs to get you started: pammys, dumpling house, harvest, santouka

[strange wedge]

Touch grass😜

[strange wedge]

DUMPLING HOUSE IS SO GOOD

Def recommend

[fossil willow]

i have not eaten a dumpling before

do any of those places serve steak, french fries, or chicken 💀

[errant phoenix]

you should probably try to eat more foods

[fossil willow]

no

i dont think i can tbh

[cedar salmon]

You certainly can

And definitely should try

[fossil willow]

i'd need like a dietician and psychologist lol

idk if harvard insurance covers dietician

[cedar salmon]

What do you need a dietician for

[fossil willow]

idk

to figure out what to eat

[cedar salmon]

In like a nutritional sense?

You’re actually cooked

[fossil willow]

yes

[tribal copper]

???

if he can find my ass

[uncut canyon]

let’s not one shot anyone!!!

[jolly lichen]

based

[tribal copper]

HOW

u just told me to go

harvard gave me better aid too but im still going to try and finesse more 🤫

[jolly lichen]

wdym

based that you're leaning towards Harvard

[tribal copper]

yea how’s that based

[jolly lichen]

just pick harvard

that'd be most based

[tribal copper]

bet

how do i ask for more money

[jolly lichen]

it's a spectrum of basedness

[tribal copper]

without sounding greedy

[jolly lichen]

ask Yale for more money with Harvards offer then ask Harvard for more money with yales counteroffer

[tribal copper]

bro you so smart

wtfff

should i wait for princeton aid?

bro

what if i use princeton to bring down yale

then use yale to bring down harvard

use harvard to bring down princeton

and use princeton to bring down harvard again wtffff

am i the goat or what

[errant phoenix]

you are!

[jolly lichen]

no just ask

don't wait

[tribal copper]

wait but princeton might give me a better estimate

most likely

[tribal copper]

thats all you my stanford king

[errant phoenix]

i want to double major in two very credit heavy courses

i might be fucked

[tribal copper]

which courses/majors

[errant phoenix]

management science and symbolic systems

[tribal copper]

gg good luck king

[errant phoenix]

idek what it is

[jolly lichen]

then just go back to yale/Harvard with that offer

[tribal copper]

valid

[mint portal]

what is bro up to 😈

kirk's boutta start the most devious company known to man

[errant phoenix]

even idk

[mint portal]

come to nyc with me

get on that old money

[errant phoenix]

thats the plan

i'm trying to do startup at stanford and then get out to NYC for private equity

[frigid herald]

@errant phoenix best a2cer in the world

[errant phoenix]

thats all u

i acc might j do ms&e + cs

[frigid herald]

kirk switching up

[errant phoenix]

either double major or just major in ms&e and then cs co-term to get the ms in cs in 4 years

but idk if i need a MS thats the thing

[minor pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/buzz-lightyear-gif-21327280

[errant phoenix]

nah the combo isnt that common

[mint portal]

why

[errant phoenix]

ms&e has a couple CS courses anyways so it wouldnt be terrible to do a secondary major

ill think abt it later ngl

[woeful grove]

is it just me or is NYU not that crazy anymore

[woeful grove]

yo ms&e is cracked

[errant phoenix]

eh stern is still p fire

[errant phoenix]

bro idk if i wanna do cs major and then ms in ms&e OR ms&e major and ms in cs

both in 4 years

[mint portal]

Ye ong bro

Stern is top notch

[mint portal]

CS major for sure

[errant phoenix]

Hmmmmm

like baked chicken instead of fried

[vague hemlock]

insane

[woeful grove]

Cs first I think it’s better for undergrad

[ripe bay]

This may seem ambiguous, but what does Harvard look for in applicants, and what would you say sets Harvard students apart from others?

[tall moat]

probably a cohesive narrative/story that demonstrates passion + humanism

[sacred orchid]

yeah i think i had one of those

Compared to the ivy admit stereotype my scores arent as perfect and my ec’s aren’t as “cracked”, theyre just cool

[tribal copper]

my goatt

WAIT DID U COMMIT

[tribal copper]

doing things they find cool not just for the sake of college apps

[errant phoenix]

No

[tribal copper]

huh

[woeful grove]

^^^

some examples I found include

[errant phoenix]

He didn’t commit

[woeful grove]

-> being fluent in a random language
-> being a like gardener
-> collecting fossils or rocks etc

[tall moat]

ALMOST

IDK if I want to commit before I visit other schools yk

[tall moat]

😜

[errant phoenix]

he makes me wanna cry

[tall moat]

this!

[vague hemlock]

i wouldn't put examples here because juniors will see that and think "ok if i collect rocks ill get into harvard" and then they'll come back a year later and be like "why didnt i get into harvard, i followed the exact same thing as what xyz did "

[vague hemlock]

damn you chose harv?

i was rooting for you hsxd why you gotta let me down like this 😔

[tall moat]

in my mind, yeah 😭

[vague hemlock]

[tall moat]

[vague hemlock]

other schools too stemmy

[vague hemlock]

[vague hemlock]

ew penn

who wants to be depressed when you can be a berkeley reject!

stanford clears penn anyway

[errant phoenix]

that’s why I’m not sad LOL

it’s the best for what i wanna do

[vague hemlock]

yeah thats fair

[tall moat]

kirk and stanford r such a good fit 🤞

[vague hemlock]

real

he's too nice for penn

[tall moat]

tbh I would’ve thought me and Yale but whatev

[vague hemlock]

stanford is perfect level of non-toxicness for him

[errant phoenix]

u do not need to go there 💀💀

too many opps

[vague hemlock]

stanny stanny stanny

why harvard

[tall moat]

LMAOO U RIGHT nvm

[vague hemlock]

[tall moat]

honestly aid + distance

[vague hemlock]

aid is a valid reason

[errant phoenix]

STANFORD WILL MATCH UR AID

[tall moat]

r u sure…

[errant phoenix]

also stanford will give u more lol

[vague hemlock]

distance .... i mean college is the time to explore

[errant phoenix]

they don’t take home equity into account

[vague hemlock]

did you ask

[tall moat]

I haven’t but I will then

[vague hemlock]

i wish financial aid wasnt a thing and colleges were free

then i could live out my la dream

[errant phoenix]

see I’m full pay but my dad wouldn’t be happy shelling out $400k for USC

yk

[vague hemlock]

:(

usc is my dream

but yeah 400k a little atrocious

[errant phoenix]

Ik….

[tall moat]

Kirk u have competition btw w college consultants 😣

someone on the harv chat is making one

[errant phoenix]

ppl don’t compete w me.

[vague hemlock]

why does everyone who gets into an ivy+ become a consultant

[tall moat]

ok I don’t chase I attract!

[errant phoenix]

wait is nhs done

[cedar salmon]

The idea of easy bag

[tall moat]
