#Harvard University (2023-2024)

ngl at the ivy level i feel like fit matters more than small pros/cons
but thats just me
cuz I doubt any of our words will help you until you give more information about yourself
^ or at least, my words lol
read her messages she wants to go to yale so bad 😭
i think the harvard prestige is getting in the way
well, I think there may be big pros/cons. for example, if I was choosing between Harvard math vs Dartmouth math, then that would matter more to me than fit.
But I get what you're saying though.
@tribal copper Ended up not having time to go back to Harvard for another look
Half way between Boston and New York rn
It’s mid. Nothing to see anyways
Fr
😭
lies
Is it tho??????🥸
it be how it do
I do too :/
DW! Ima be a frequent visitor
Well not rlly
But I’ll show up a few times
Me too
ima be in boston a bunch
stay in pittsburg 🙏
honestly semi-valid
lies
what is princeton made up of then 😭
like stone idk 😭😭
LMAOO
😭
U ate
u too my princeton king
no 😬
harv dw
Phew
giving up on stanny already?
bruh i have to call harvard, duke, and northwestern tmrw all about financial aid
so much work
Such a first world issue omg😭
(I mean that in the most respectful and funny way possible)
u right tho
these r problems a lot of people would kill to have 😭
Aghhhh
hater behavior
That kinda rhymes
😱
RAHH
i might pull up to harvard yardfest
idk
im def visiting
one of my best friends is going
yardfest lowk seems lit
you should pull up to cmu carnival
pittsburgh has some tasty food
Not after admit weekend
When is yardfest
Buy my train ticket, and we got a deal
errrm perhaps
invite me
next april
bet
Bet. I’ll be there. Better make room in your dorm
u can sleep w me😛😛
i read this out of context and was so scared for a second
it’s not any better in context🤫
Wwww😝
Um…???
average ivy leaguer interaction🤫🤫
Damn so I’m left out 😔 /lh
i’ll update u if my bed can fit 3 👀
i'm so honored ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
oh ok new mans
@tribal copper yo when h get to crimson, ask to see your admissions file
damn idk if i can fit 4
i gotchu tho
when i get to crimson? ur a nerd dawg 😭
U know what tf I MEANT
good
yk what they're gonna write
"diversity admit"
🤫
shit i still made it so idc
but
LMAO they don’t have that anymore fool
bruhhh but they still consider race right
wow really?
crazyy
do u think ur gonna have to pull all nighters at princeton
i pray i dont have to pull any
i hope i lock in w time management so i can have some chill time
is engineering sciences w a secondary in gov feasible? it would add to 19 required courses
I’m so confused on how course reqs doubles/secondaries add up to fulfill the 32 courses 😭
It’s not feasible
whether you have to is much more a matter of time management than courseload
yes
I mean literally yes
it comes at the cost of your free electives
like it's too many or not enough?
you fill the rest with electives
The girl in the panel said she didn’t have to
So I’m praying I don’t either
Ima get sleep either way. If the work gets done, it gets done. If not, it’s outta my hands 🕺🏾
ok pessimist 😕
that’s fine by me
I’m not tryna do a double now, but I’ve heard ppl doing a double where they would have like 24 required classes to fulfill both, so I’m not sure how they can fit their gened stuff
oh
pretty easily
it just depends on the major
double major + a professional track, u will need to do 5 classes per semester some times
its not necessarily that 5 classes per semester is some insanely hard thing, it just depends on WHAT the classes are and how much out of class work you have. check qreport to see the median and average for out of class work time, and just keep it around 35
for me on some semesters, without a 5th class my hours would only be about 26-27 hours
which sounds boring 💀
my average is about 30 in my four year plan even with some 5 class semesters
there aren't that many geneds
divisional distribution can be fulfilled by major reqs right
it's 4 geneds + 1 distribution + expos if you fill the language req coming in and your concentrations are in different division
like if im taking math 1a to fulfill my major req, it can count as the math divisional distribution
ya
so you get one for free
there's no math divisional req
but yea that's the idea
there is quantitive analysis or whatever its called
that thing
the onlt divisional distribution i gotta do purposefully is humanities, but im doing trans history which is part of what i wanna do so
oh sure yeah qrd
if you're doing a stem concentration you get qrd and the stem divisional for free essentially
I think 35 is above average 💀
i thought that was average
for out of class work
what is average then 💀
This semester, the medians of my courses are:
- Korean 123xb 6.5hrs
- GENED 1161: 4hrs
- FolkMyth 172: 5hrs
- Compsci 152: 8hrs
- Math 130: 6hrs
- Math 145a: 10hrs+
- Math 231br: 12 hrs
Senger's math 231a was 10 and 231br was 13. Kong's (current instructor) 231a was 9. so 12?
Math 145a is kinda wack since the psets are fiendish to do properly 💀, but the instructor is kinda nice? Idk what the qguide will say but I think one would put in at least an average of ten hours a week if they do the class properly.
So like I cant say what's exactly the average? My friends tend to take intense courseloads ( most take fewer but harder)~ so my sense is skewed
But I know some kids who have 20hrs or less
I know it's theoretically possible to get under 10hrs for one semester (prolly not repeatable for every semester)
I think people try to shoot for under 30?
amen 🙏
bro 😭😭
4 geneds😭
i heard go for under 35
Ehh, I think I should be able to take one course letter graded and another p/f :D
like that could be under 6hrs if I do it well
but ordinally, students must take four class a term. I've overloaded a lot, so I can afford to take like two classes
hmm, for gov/econ majors? I think that's a lie LMAO
They don't ever need to go near 35
or 30 prolly
LMFAOO NO WAY THEYLL ALLOW THAT
ohh i see
I could try for the lolz... maybe senior spring
i’m potentially chem and phys bio🙏
but some cs/math/stats double majors told me under 35
def go for it
Well, they're double majors
wait are u a sophomore
yes
my rate has been 4,5,6,7
7 courses what the fuck
i dont think I'll ever repeat 7 again tho
this semester?
yeah
did you want to die
count
do you want to die
see when you sent that i thought was for your fall + spring combined
jesus christ god bless you
idk how u manage that
i just did it cuz i could
and the courses sounded interesting
in hindsight, i would've chosen two different classes but whatevs
And like all of my classes except three of them thus far count for grad reqs. I believe in the intense first-two-years to chill out later strat. Once I take two certain courses next sem, I'm like down with all my concentration reqs for ccm as well~ Gives me a lot of wiggle room now
valid
so do u have 7 fucking finals😭
wait expand on this
like fulfilling core ur first 2 years?
or fulfilling core + major
bro wtf u are so chilling
finished ur harvard degree by junior fall wtfff
3 finals, a final project, 2 final papers
two of the classes are purely psets
jesus
math?
yeah
makes sense
math 231 and 145
I do cs research
ohh
ohh i see
do u remember what u got on the math placement
like what recommendation
current plan is honors math, ccm math, and ???
??? being whatever I find interesting?
whichever is the highest?
goat
ccm is masters?
not sure about life sciences but the math placement exam does not bind u
ik a kid who got placed into math 1b and took 55. granted, a) he was in the military for two years, b) he half-assed it, and c) 55 doesnt rlly rely on calc
yes
wtf cracked asf
regretted ls50 whaaa
sounds like a skill issue
🤫
lmao
true
is 1a/b calc 1?
I think it's worth for the community, but I have a soft spot for unique firstie-specific classes
1a is calc 1; 1b is calc 2
calc 2 and diff eqs?
I'd need to check the syllabus to see how it compares with the ap calc exams
yea i def wanna take it but i heard it’s a lottery
im gonna be drowning in work but im so excited for it
i might get placed into 1b😭 i’ve only taken calc ab
but they did say 7/20 ls50 kids were recommended 1b
so its def not required
@hot urchin will i die if i take physics 16
good choice ❤️
depends on ur background
sure
smart
@jolly lichen i gotta thank you for telling me to appeal yale then appeal harvard. yale brought my package down by like 9k and now i can appeal harvard. actually so grateful for you bro you saved me like 16k 🙏🙏
join harvard discord
look dm
i’ll do that in a bit thank you!!
youre in it already
unless you mean verify
let's goooo nice nice
it's fun!
and maybe more importantly you get a cohort of people that you'll bond with over psets
sent in my harvard appeal and i’m planning on calling them tomorrow. i’d be so set if they can match yale
1k/yr is basically full aid fr
yeah verify
gl gl gl
you got this
ty goat🙏🙏
wait what did you do
like he appealed yale with harvard aid then yale reduced it more then he appealed harvard with that?
yes
he can use yales to say "i'd like to attend but can we get closer to what yale is offering"
repeat the loop now until it reaches full ride for both

trust me it’ll work
moneyprinter mastermind
oh i thought they only matched it but not lower
why not just ask for a stipend atp
🧠
thing is i only have 5 days left to commit
then after commit deadline they prob dgaf
”yale’s giving me a full ride but i already committed here! can u lower my package pleaseee 🙏🙏”
exactlyy
im calling today
yale went 4k below harvard😭😭😭 they want me so bad
at first yale wanted 10k so i sent them harvard’s 5k and they brought the 10k down to 1.3k/yr
that’s so crazy
i told my mom and she’s like “so what, you’re not going to yale”
like she wont allow me to commit there😭😭😭😭
craaaaaaazy
😭 😭 😭
yo can u get rescinded from being kicked out from a competition💀💀
i might b cooked
nvm i think im good
nvm might not be good
walking on our hotel’s roof😭
say ong
idt my teachers will tell harvard
but i may get some type of punishment
idt i’ll get suspended either but we’ll see
what are they gonna tell harvard ?
a dumb kid was walking on the roof of the hotel so u should rescind him
harvard doesn’t care
wait what if i end up somehow getting suspended
should i tell harvard or i’ll be okay
dude
why would you snitch on yourself
just do nothing and nothing will happen
literally nobody cares about this incident
u right
u right
true even i’ll forget abt it by like tmrw when im playing roblox at home
discord light mode wtfffff
basement discord mfs when they look at a white sheet of paper and claim it's "blinding" because it's "light mode"
happy for u kace
u have 4814 robux. tfym u need finaid.
save some robux for my college tuition
thats like $50 💀
already got the aid 😛
he needs the aid bro thats chump change
how much you need
yall dont wanna see my old roblox account, i spent over $500 on that fucking game
i know im kidding
it's ok .
i have dropped a shit ton of money on league
i literally just cashed out 30 minutes ago but i have some lying around
but it's lik eit's not bad
until u realize that i've been permbanned 6 fucking times for flaming
so it, in fact, is all gone.
brp how do u manage that
i don't even have the accounts anymore.
we do a little anger
ive never been banned from roblox
because i need to keep my account in good standing for devex
ive considered selling my roblox acc but idk who would buy it 💀
so im an angel in the chatrooms
cus its not like u can get rid of past usernames
true
my past usernames r so shit
in fact my current username is shit
me when i decide to make my roblox account's username a league champion's epithet


shoot me int he frohedad
pls .k, .
whats ur user
i cannot
i'll bless up
reveal that information
ok
sorry .
add me
no robux for u unfortunately :(
what the fuck??
But damn. Fifty bucks is fifty bucks.
how much did u cash out
i played from ages 12-16 so there was adopt me + limited items + different games + roblox premium
lots of stuff
i remember i was like 8 and i got warned once and i started crying
bc i thought i was banned
that added up over 4 years lol
42k
adopt me 💀
jesus fucking christ are u a dev?
but heres what ive done over the past year
yo wha tht erufkc
that is a lot of us dollars
not bad
i cannot lie
but the rates r pretty trash
ye wtf
yeah
wait 1500 usd only for 502000 robux??
i think 30k robux is $105?
bruh..................
yea thats ass
???????????????????????????????
plus roblox takes 20-30% right?
if i actually had a talent i would play roblox again to make money 💀
why r they so weird
but i have no talent
LOL
i gave up on making meshes when i realized it was too much work to become good
8D
wonder, can u trade robux for usd if ur not a dev
like what if u sell a limited item
30% of purchases yeah
and now u have a lot of robux
so if clothes sell for 10 rbx you only get 7
only legal way out is devex iirc
u can only do devex
or u can do illegal shit
well not illegal
(based shit)*
but bannable
Why is Harvard chat talking about Roblox 😭
roblox university .
theres a weird correlation
releast chat
502000 robux would be about 1750
i cashed out a bit after the new year so my tax form only showed 1450
this is such complete fucking fraud by roblox
icl
this shit should be at least 50k usd
💀
like let's be real man 502000 robux is more than my life is worth
Help????? Is this why I got wl (I’ve never played Roblox) /j
idk i got rejected
they didn't ilke the part where i admitted to being chronically online in my CAPS
unlucky
i probably spent about $400 worth of robux on my avatar alone...
Help?
What did you say?
wouldnt be shocked if it was more
yes
Damn 😔 is it too late to get addicted now
ask them where's the other 4250
nah
back in the day for every birthday and occasion i'd ask for $100 in roblox giftcard
let me pull my essays up
i trolled literally at least 6 times in my apps
wtf...
i was rich
on roblox
my avatar was less than 1000 robux
@random crow
exactly why selling my acc would be so good 💀 i could make tons of money
???
EIGHTEENTH CENTURY HATTER HAHA
did you actually submit that
yes
the only good thing that can be claimed about my essays is that u can tell precisely who i am from them
💀
Dude this is kinda fire tho
winnable
damn specific asf 😭
if u dont have limiteds nobody's buying it
this went to 20 schools
19
bc northwestern doesn't take them iirc idk
omegalul
i thought nu is optional
but they'd read them
all i remember is goat school bc they didn't charge for my app
🥰
fee waiver mfs on top
i like the writing tho
how tf u find all these smart words to use
there is nothing that can describe the amount of shitposting i do during my college apps
proselytized
it's such a funny word to use for non-religious things
lik eu just use it for hal fof it's meaning and it becomes better
😂
comedymaxxing
well caltech didn't like the shitpost so uhh mb
those 3 images are from caltech app
LOL
fr
very genuine
did i troll? probably (yes)
was it funny?
errr
clearly the AOs did not think so
HOWEVER
i find it funny when i think about it at 4 am so. who's really winning
the loser "wow this student is a hunched-back degenerate" vs the chad "lol what if i wrote about my crippling addiction to video games"
@minor pecan any general idea of when math class schedule gets released? i know when all my fall classes are except for math 1a cus it still says TBA for fall 24
even though spring 25 is alrdy out 💀
tbh i could've been more risky in my essays
most my stuff was p mild
i could've been more real
ye idk
i think it's a gamble with high rewards if ur a fucking loser like me lol
but for a normal human i think it might be strictly better
💀
idk i just htink like
unless ur REALLY fucked up
it cant rly hurt to serve all that you are onto a platter and present it to them
it probably shows passion and vitality
what makes you vibrant
i will say though one thing preventing TURBO impostor syndrome from seeping deep into my mind is the fact that i was disgustingly honest on my essays
like... they knew the exact degenerate i am.
💀
no clue but it would be before course registation for sure so i wouldnt worry about it
its prob gonna be 9-1030 similar to how spring is though
bro u not that bad 😭
just a little chronically online
"a little" bro i probably have over 20k hours on discord
luck knows it's astrofucked
HELP ME
LMfoaoooo
I LNOW TOO

and the course numbering shit
i love carlmotes
chronically online
it's iconic lmao
chronically BASED
🔥🗣️💯📢😂🤣
I need to go outside. There's a nice bush with green leaves and beautiful light pink flowers.
Yet I sit inside, endlessly bouncing photons back and forth between me and my computer monitor, my neck ever shifting toward a more lateral position.
I shall rot away in this place. My electronic prison. My computerized chains.
FUCK whoever made discord.
uninstall no balls
bro i saw the genshin on ur taskbar
what ar are u
ok now that's not something i can do
rich people abuse t-t
i just restarted genshin on a new email
oml t-t
yo is it fucked if i make a mihoyo account on my new school email
LOL
i have a BAD Idea
ar 1?
17 rn
not bad
o
dude how in the world t-t
wait wtf
what the FUCK is studying for a midterm
chronically online
huhh did ur semester like just start
lock into the computer grindset
errrr im doing math at chicago
so the timing is fucked bc the bastards r on quarter system
uchi?
ye
ohhh
someone stop the psychos. one midterm is 35% of my final grade. help
damn fuck that
get off discord
jesus christ
see you at malcolm x community college
pls
u right. maybe i lock in for 20 min
wait are u going to brown @coarse valve
ye
fire
omg congrats aka!!!!!
enjoy it
A;ALSKDFL
say hi to sylvia for me when you get there :D

is art school right
makes sense
wait r u doing risd??
hook me up aka!
what happened to ur rizz 🤫
cs?
dude! i dont even go outside!
oh mb maths
not cs
🫡
otherwise im there
see not most stereotypical then
math/chem swimming piano community service tutoring
didn't fully commit to the bit
ok im kind of on the asian stem guy grind tho. admit it
i feel like golf is more stereotypical than swimming
except i don't do competitions because i'm shit at them so i'm just strictly worse
😍
a little quirky like that
comps r hard :(
chat is being too shit at math to do competitions considered cute n quirky
yes enjoy it!!
im going to be blazed every tuesday night at 3 am.
no
typical brown student
i saw this kid on a2c write his brown essay about being brown 😭
ok. u guys r too entertaining to talk to. i must close discord for AT LEAST 45 seconds and lock in . thi sis fucke dup
it was funny
bye lock in
nah........ did it work?
THAT'S FUNNY THO
bye bye!
same energy as rice essay about rice
W
im unlocked again. gg
should i study for ap bio test
someone put me back in the straitjacket
probably
but if i say yes will that make you study
😭
????
prob not
😭
as in like
idk i haven't looked into it but they prob acknowledge the score but don't give credit
no?
most selective schools acknowledge it as reason to be placed in a more advanced first-year course i think
im taking straight out of my asscrack tho idk how the big h works
lmfao
u can take whatever class u want at harvard
well kinda
SEND IT
i dont wanna do 55 tho
a wiser one than i once said
i wanna do ls50
it is easier to drop to a less rigorous ccourse than it is to climb to a more rigorous one
o
that sounds fire
except for
b-b-b-biology
🤢
(least based "science")

9 am MWF sounds like hell ngl
fake
we had this for dinner in our dhall today
@undone briar I saw you on LinkedIn 😭 congrats on your commitment!
THANK UOU
I WOULD POST IT BUT THE VERIFICATION MOGHT BE A LOt
Ofc!!
DID YOU REQUEST
It’s super easy to get verified! Just dm @acoustic socket
Yes!
OKOK
DID YOU COMMIT
Not yet
I’m waiting for wls 🥲
My commitment deadline is May fifteenth anyways
which ones
Duke, Berkeley and Dartmouth mostly!! I’ve decided I’m likely not going to the others
ok well i know you’ll get off one 😍 wishing and praying for the absolute best for you queen 🫶🏾
Aww thank you so much 🫶 I’m manifesting it and if not there will be a LinkedIn post 💯
yesssd
and it will happen though so dw
Yeah I’m lowkey fine either way so the wls would just be a very very wonderful bonus
LOVE THAT FOR YOU
luck we besties now
No
i know i know
For econ, psych, and other depts, ap scores can be used to get permission to enroll into a more advanced class
essentially a "skip intro" course. i believe they all require 5s tho lol
I generally doubt that they check that you have satisfied the prereqs lmao. But I heard that antireqs are enforced by the dept for concentration credit? (not the same thing at all, but kinda related ig)
is it fine to cancel my aps then (my school has a refund policy)? ppl told me to just take bc but i heard you can enroll in calc 3 anyway.
is this actually enforced by ec?
or psych for that matter lol
like... if you just show up in 1011 are they gonna check your scores? 
for Harvard? yeah, just get a refund lol
i heard the psych dept can be a little nugget
but i could try 
im telling myself i should study for my ap bio test
but in reality it wont do anything for me at harvard
drop it
better yet get a refund
we didn't have to pay for our tests 
im also doing stats and calc tests but im already doing well in those
then.... just skip the exam
tbh
lol
yes
tbh i gotta double check the policy because iirc we have to pay if we skip it 😭
oh rip
write your name and take a nap then 
so true
i dont have to send scores anyways right?
just the ones from last year i included on my app?
correct
harvard or stanford or pton 4 math
im bias, go to harvard
stanny
niche has spoken
go to harvard
:D
Niche sucks
bias
noooo
u too
Ew
L rankings
BRO
hey now
oh

HAPPY 100K MESSAGES HARVARD PPL
YAYYAYAYYAA
as a dude not in any of the 3
think princeton for undergrad honestly
but for really really obvious reasons
you legitimately cannot go wrong
there isn't a single mf that'll tell you that harvard's math 55 is a non-unique experience, i think
both in name and the people/curricula you'll see in it
the solution? make three separate identities, get the time-turner from professor mcgonagall, and attend all 3 at the same time
🥰
the reasoning behind my princeton answer is simply because that school is turbo fucking undergrad focused so like
not only do you have a guarantee of top math but also like if you ever decide to look at anything else their programs will be disgustingly strong too
glazeton
Harvard or Princeton
I don't think it's that big a difference
like
actually at all
ok aren't ppl at princeton like lowkey depressedd or am i tripping
if it's equal then go happier place prob
💀
iirc Princeton has slightly more math grad students than Harvard
you’re a hs jr? also most people are gonna say Harvard because it’s Harvard thread
but yeah Harvard
r harvard students hot
ye
fax
i wont get a job competing against the bastard
@minor pecan i hope u stay unemployed until 2026
not because i dislike you
but bc ur fucking destroying the nyc area job market
Stop that.
No Idk why i have that lol
uchi is probably better than columbia
also this is very arguable
i don’t like pton under harvard though
valid
i am kind of coping though bc chicago took me and columbia rejected me 
but also i’ll have a direct comparison next year so
just personal bias wrt math programs 
though tbh I would go to stanford over princeton as a whole
i love columbia math department but it feels a little convoluted and also it’s not unilaterally amazing research wise
this is a take but i think courant = columbia
that is indeed a take
i actually think harvard may be the worst of the top math programs for hyper talented math kids
headed for grad school at least
@jolly lichen bully me now
gladly
flaming hot take, but elaborate
that's actually an insane take
idk options
grade inflation?
idk i didn’t really think this through super well ngl
but at the very least i wouldn’t say it’s head and shoulders above any of the schools on that list until like
ucla
idk i guess i just think that the well prepared math student doesn’t really benefit as much from harvard anymore
but it might have the best math program overall due to accessibility
options...? are you implying the options are lacking at harvard lol
doesn't matter, everything is hyper inflated at the grad level anyway lol
sorry what's the list?
I don't think it's head and shoulders over princeton or mit or stanford, if that's what you're saying
i don’t even think it’s head and shoulders over columbia chicago or cornell
the school is but the math department isn’t
I think it is
i mean
for entry level mathematics
probably
but idk
i think it levels out
at grad level generally this is true but I think the main barrier for advanced undergrads is being able to quickly access coursework
and also at upper upper grad level I think it makes a difference again because coverage of topics differs
that’s fair but
i doubt that the barriers are any less transparent at harvard
the barriers are minimally transparent
you can show up in grad topics freshman fall i fyou want
what is the thought process?
stanford is sunny, princeton is in the middle of nowhere and cold and sad
yes but in a city so that is much happier
lol
princeton is in the middle of nowhere
