eternal jasper
#

true

maiden tundra
#

honestly same

eternal jasper
#

but you're still a sophomore so don't worry too much yet lol

ionic spindle
#

You have got venomous snake handling and I have full time residential farm labor and making video game cheats

eternal jasper
#

most of my ecs i put for all of my apps i started junior year or later

#

at least all of the good ones

maiden tundra
#

junior year grindset goes hard

eternal jasper
#

very

maiden tundra
#

i did not grind hard enough for mit tho :(

ionic spindle
#

I couldn't name more than 5 colleges in junior year

#

I only knew about NCSU, UNC, Duke, Harvard and Oxford lol

#

I didn't even know what MIT stood for

eternal jasper
#

you literallly had the best academic comeback of all time

stoic fox
#

Institute of Tech

ionic spindle
#

I honestly though MIT was in Michigan

stoic fox
#

YO ASS IS NOT GOING

ionic spindle
eternal jasper
#

what is bro yappin about

ionic spindle
#

Michigan Institute of Technology

stoic fox
#

Bro thought MIT was michigan

ionic spindle
#

tbf I didn't know the difference between Michigan, Maine and Massachusetts either

#

until like 6 months ago

#

They all started with Ms and were in the north

eternal jasper
#

they're all in america whats the difference

ionic spindle
#

But I've flown out to mass a few times since then

#

and can confirm

gusty siren
#

I literally found out abt mit cause my asian parents be telling me to go to Harvard but i wanted to go against them and said mit ๐Ÿ’€

ionic spindle
#

it exists

prisma tree
#

masstech

ionic spindle
eternal jasper
#

bruh

#

unless it was about tuition

ionic spindle
eternal jasper
#

cause free tuition at unc would make sense

gusty siren
#

Honestly it really depends

ionic spindle
#

They were 0 pay

#

at both

gusty siren
#

some ppl just donโ€™t like the vibe

ionic spindle
#

I mean you'd be surprised how often things like this happen

eternal jasper
#

unless something changed since you applied

gusty siren
#

idk

ionic spindle
#

They were someone who had a lot of serious trauma and had a pretty solid support network in NC

eternal jasper
#

ah then that makes sense

elder vine
#

maybe unc honors college

ionic spindle
#

and didn't want to leave to a place where they might be socially isolated and without a support network

eternal jasper
#

everyone has their reasons, and many people are not blinded by prestige

modest trench
#

i lowkey don't wanna apply to mit cuz ik i'll be rejected

ionic spindle
eternal jasper
#

where is that stat from

ionic spindle
#

but I've seen other sources that state it as well

eternal jasper
#

that's funny

gusty siren
#

other than the application fee

ionic spindle
#

than the unc one

eternal jasper
gusty siren
#

and maybe depression for a few days

#

If things go wrong

ionic spindle
gusty siren
#

but at least you have a chance if u apply

ionic spindle
#

The people with amazing stats don't get in, because they are generic

#

I think if you are more out there getting in might be easier than you think

modest trench
#

you guys are right

gusty siren
#

just be urself idk

#

Thats what they all say

modest trench
#

i'm lowkey in the feels for my defer school

eternal jasper
#

that's why i'm gonna take a risk with my fun form and be so silly

eternal jasper
gusty siren
ionic spindle
#

These top students have a tendency to sound like they have been trying to optimize their entire lives around college and that really puts AOs off

eternal jasper
#

just take that to mean you are good enough

modest trench
#

so much uncertainty

eternal jasper
#

yeah lol

modern lava
modest trench
#

oats you got into mit?

modern lava
ionic spindle
#

Wouldn't it be so funny if Oats got deferred despite being accepted QB

modest trench
eternal jasper
#

a little bit of trolling from the mit aos

modest trench
#

did you get the silver tube

eternal jasper
#

bruh i want a silver tube so bad

modern lava
modest trench
modern lava

Also happens to contain my finaid info

And they won't update the finaid portal until january noooo

eternal jasper
#

rip bozo

mit still hasn't recieved my stupid idoc yet

modest trench
#

i should send that...

eternal jasper
#

i sent it weeks ago and they still havent got it lol

#

collegeboard skill issue fr

modest trench
#

it takes like 10 business days

#

i think u gotta wait 2 weeks

ionic spindle
#

What the fuck is an IDOC?

modest trench
#

its financial aid

#

after completing the CSS

ionic spindle
#

oh shit yeah right

#

I need to do CSS

#

and I'll prolly need to make an appeal for independent on that as well so I should get started ASAP

eternal jasper
#

and it takes forever

ionic spindle
#

Do ya'll know what the process is for independent on CSS

modest trench
#

i used to be such an mit simp

modest trench
eternal jasper
modern lava

This feels so targeted

eternal jasper

I love chanceme because of how bad it is lmao

it's just a place where people make up hypothetical application stats to make themselves feel good
"essays 10/10" PROVE IT

i'm really hoping i get into somewhere in january so i can fall in love with that school, and then by the time i get my mit decision i'll be chillin

#

I like planning but I'd rather study planning for masters

ionic spindle
#

Scribble a beaver next to MID

modest trench
#

with like a smiley face

modern lava
#

It's hard to get into the planning field with just a bachelors

#

And Course 1 leads well into Planning anyway soooo

calm kestrel
#

whats the diff between 11 and 1

remote vessel
calm kestrel
#

they both sound the same

stoic fox
#

@modern lava we need to make a plan for a portable snowball launcher to troll @fierce gust with troll

eternal jasper
modern lava
modest trench
calm kestrel
#

imma be real they both sound like the same thing

modern lava
remote vessel
calm kestrel
#

also I have a strange urge to switch from 6 to 11 after going hiking and seeing how all of LA is a cartesian coordinate plane

eternal jasper
modern lava
#

Personally, at least

modest trench
ionic spindle
#

1 leaves way more options than 11 and it isn't like your not going to be able to go into urban planning with a cee degree

stoic fox
#

But not much

modern lava
#

I could go CS + Planning which is an actual degree, but like

#

eh

ionic spindle
#

Compsci + Planning?

modest trench
stoic fox
#

Dude went for generic MIT

#

compsci

stoic fox
modern lava
#

I don't like comp sci man ๐Ÿ˜”

ionic spindle
modern lava
ionic spindle
#

I've considered doing CompSci + EnvSci before

modern lava
#

Civil into Planning in particular is very natural

ionic spindle
#

Is that an option I can select on my app?

#

Urban Science and Planning with Computer Science

modern lava
ionic spindle
#

Selected

#

that is literally me

#

and I just haven't found a college that offers that before

eternal jasper
#

you can write a bomb "why do you want to study this" essay

#

sadly mit only give 100 words for that

modern lava
ionic spindle
#

I'm someone who feels greatly slighted by the human engineered world we live in and wants to change it, but also is incredibly proficient and interested in comp sci

calm kestrel

I got a receiver and speakers in the back of my truck plugged into the tool outlet and I just blast music, while working

eternal jasper

ionic spindle
calm kestrel

eternal jasper
ionic spindle
#

never pay for gas

stoic fox

You need a 2000 on the SAT to be considered for any ivy

wide oak
#

minimun

ionic spindle
#

luckily I am not applying to any ivys, because I don't like them

cedar hornet
#

so now they get to play fortnite all day or whatever idk

modest trench
cedar hornet
#

a group of community colleges

modest trench
#

like poison ivy?

ionic spindle
#

a lot of the ivys used to literally have slaves on campus to server their students

#

and that isn't chill

cedar hornet
#

on the east coast

#

theyre p mid ngl people just go there cuz the tuition is free

calm kestrel
cedar hornet
#

yea

#

its free college and theyre like kinda selective now

#

so a ton of people apply

wide oak
#

MIT is yield protecting me fr

ionic spindle
#

"Harvard College ascertained that enslaved laborers lived on campus, making the beds and meals of students, professors, and school presidents. Princeton University noted a slave auction was held on its campus in 1766."

cedar hornet
#

its kind of expected

#

for a gathering of rich white men

#

in the 1700s

#

in america

ionic spindle
#

totally not chill

cedar hornet
#

not chill

#

but expected

ionic spindle
#

rescind your apps ya'll

#

Except to cornell they are innocent

#

that is actually not why I am avoiding the ivies I just don't think they are what they are made out to be

bold crest
#

@grave token i am so sorry for the cold ping, but can I dm you regarding an issue that happened with one of my early action application?? i will only take a few minutes off your time.

shrewd basalt
#

lol petey

#

I remember that time he scolded me on USACO

calm kestrel
#

petey used to be active here?

#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ

modern lava
inland flicker
calm kestrel
#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

I see

eternal jasper
inland flicker
#

^

frozen karma
#

somebody ask petey why they defer so much

#

and not just reject

cedar hornet
#

its like these kids legit have no shot at all but ur deferring them and just slightly messing with them

#

thats how i see it. idk

frozen karma
#

yeah i think so too

#

even though i got rejected from stanford rea like at least i'm thankful that they're conservative on defers

#

not giving me false hope for 4 months

solid pawn
#

same im so glad penn is conservative with defers.

#

harvard and princeton suck for what they do.

frozen karma
#

like lets be real harvard and mit yall not gonna admit the bottom 75% of the early pool so just reject them all man

#

i get that they want to like have a wide net of people but like they can still do that by like deferring like 10-20% max

frozen karma
#

?

#

explain

cedar hornet
#

its probably to make it seem less cutthroat than it is at a glance

#

so they coerce more people into applying

#

and especially applying EA

shrewd basalt
#

They get to maintain the double image of being super exclusive while making everyone think โ€œI almost got inโ€

cedar hornet
#

yea exactly

#

people see a deferral as over a rejection

shrewd basalt
#

No one is going to remember that all of their friends got deferred

cedar hornet
#

its like hey at lesat i got my foot in the door

shrewd basalt
#

Theyโ€™ll just remember years from now that MIT gave them a โ€œsecond chanceโ€

frozen karma
#

yeah ok i see

#

fuck mit/princeton/harvard for that then

cedar hornet
#

idk

frozen karma
#

like while i'm mad stanford didnt take me i thank them for rejecting me

cedar hornet
#

also having a high deferral rate is just ognna incentivize people

frozen karma
#

instead of defer

cedar hornet
#

to apply EA more

shrewd basalt
#

Yeah I was rejected REA

cedar hornet
#

cuz its like yea ill probably just get deferred to rd anyways so it doesnt matter

shrewd basalt
frozen karma
#

yeah all this is why i said ask petey wanted to see what he woudl say

shrewd basalt
#

Like every other fucking Berkeley student

frozen karma
#

rejected rea stanford?

shrewd basalt
#

Heโ€™s going to give the PR response

frozen karma
#

haha lol hopefully i don't become the stereotypical kid who didn't get into stanford but is at berkeley doing eecs

cedar hornet
#

u say that

#

like berkeleys eecs program

#

isnt like top 5 in the us minimum

#

...

#

like oh no bro you got into berkeley

#

boo hoo

frozen karma
#

well it's like a stereotype though... at least in my area. not saying berkeley eecs isn't insanely hard to get into

cedar hornet
#

who cares if u get stereotyped

#

ur a berk eecs student

#

๐Ÿ—ฟ

frozen karma
#

ok yea maybe that was a dumb thing to say

shrewd basalt
#

Not an awful thing

frozen karma
#

nah i probably aint getting into berkeley eecs

shrewd basalt
#

I mean I donโ€™t like it here but some do

#

Berkeley EECS is luck

#

If youโ€™re qualified itโ€™s luck

cedar hornet
#

i mean like yea t5 is all a coinflip no matter who you are

#

obviously you have to get to that threshold

#

of being interesting and qualified

shrewd basalt
#

I know USAMO people that didnโ€™t get in while some of my fellow students canโ€™t factor quadratics

cedar hornet
#

but after that like yea it is luck

frozen karma
cedar hornet
#

ok those people are a very miniscule group of exceptions

shrewd basalt
#

Itโ€™s funny that only MIT had the balls to require SAT again after quality of students dropped

cedar hornet
#

i think test blind is kinda goofy imo

shrewd basalt
#

I guess it matters less for other schools

#

Test blind is really stupid lol

cedar hornet
#

like test optional fine maybe you hate the sat

#

sure test optional

#

but like

#

why blind bro

#

i studied so hard for this shit at least see my score

frozen karma
#

at least mit is somewhat meritocratic (same with caltech). like harvard stanford yale princeton and stuff man their admissions are dirty af

cedar hornet
#

๐Ÿ—ฟ

junior heath
#

this is what caltech had to say abt it

#

Caltech first waived the testing requirement in June 2020 amid the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. An internal analysis by Caltech faculty found that standardized test scores had little to no power in predicting student performance in certain first-year classes.

A student that can provide millions to the school by simply existing is a benefit to everyone else attending

frozen karma

#

colleges r businesses brah they need to make money

shrewd basalt
#

Cap these students at a reasonable amount

cedar hornet
#

these r just money making things

shrewd basalt
#

People want to go to T5s for connections because thatโ€™s all undergrad is good for

junior heath
shrewd basalt
#

I do not care that a number of my classmates are dumber when they basically fund my education

inland flicker
#

Being deferred does suck but at least we get a second look. Itโ€™s also very subjective to your assigned AO, they have to fight for you in committee and maybe the next round will fight for me stronger prayingreversed

cedar hornet
#

not necessarily

frozen karma
cedar hornet
#

some fields really only need an undergrad degree to get an entry level job

#

atp like yea it does matter to an extent where u went

#

cs is coming to my mind the quickest

modern lava
cedar hornet
#

but i think engineering jobs like yea you only need an undergrad

frozen karma
cedar hornet
#

if u went to a better school its gonna help you out more in job hunting

modern lava
#

I was considering studying Urban Planning or Architecture or smth

#

But those are basically impossible to get into without a masters

cedar hornet
#

ngl im so glad cs doesnt require anything past an undergrad

#

i cannot go to school for that long

shrewd basalt
modern lava
#

Prestige doesn't really matter much for engineering either except for MIT, ahem too

shrewd basalt
#

I would like to go to Stanford for analytics/ML

prestige matters a lot for quant right

itd only be bias if mit was the top for the past xxx (large number) of years right

So that they can actually focus on things outside their classes

what even r the t10 schools for cs

modern lava

Harvard has math55, MIT does nor.t.

shrewd basalt

Harvard has an excellent reputation and even if you have that itch you can cross register with MIT

Seriously though Hahvahd and Masstech are radically different schools

Ah ic

junior heath

'cause they really did get a lot of flack for being too inflexible with their calc requirement
