Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) (2023-2024)

[inland flicker]

Yuh I see I didn't realize they were different roles

Rip

He seemed like a generally nice dude

[ionic spindle]

Yeah kinda sad, I liked him as well

My video game cheating ECs gonna carry my app for real

[junior heath]

what

[ionic spindle]

All of my ECs are related to cheating in video games

[hollow sedge]

for real? lmao

[ionic spindle]

• 2 jobs and 3 internships and all of my district-c internships

Led a community (5.8M+) dedicated to video game exploitation & reverse engineering + contributed new ideas like homemade direct memory access FPGAs

[neat hollow]

petey's here

😭

[ionic spindle]

Reverse-engineered games, discovered flaws, bugs, and exploits, implemented proofs, and reported issues to Valve, Mojang, Riot Games, Google and more```

Developed, maintained and documented the Lua API, which was used by 14k+ users to implement their own features and automate functionality.```

oh and cycling for fun

hardest ECs ever

[hollow sedge]

i mean the ai sponge guy got deferred ea, having zany ec's isnt the entirety of your app

[ionic spindle]

I don't know what zany is

[lunar schooner]

is it weird for the interview to be on facetime?

[neat hollow]

yes

tbh

well not weird per se

but abnormal

[cedar hornet]

oh did he LOL

[hollow sedge]

yes

[cedar hornet]

yea idk

college acceptances to me seem like

you can handle rigor + youre interesting + youre a good fit for school = admit

for most people

if u are missing something ur probably not getting in

[river sky]

• you get very lucky

[neat hollow]

the third point is pretty variable lol

[cedar hornet]

id argue the third point is where the luck comes in

the school is looking for something every year, you happen to fill that slot and boom ur in

for so mething different

[coarse fjord]

wait wtf

that’s crazy

is he the snake dude

[ionic spindle]

Yes 😦

I liked him

[coarse fjord]

bro what he seemed chill yeah

damn

[ionic spindle]

bro was so down to earth

[coarse fjord]

yeah there’s a couple ik of

[coarse fjord]

fr

his snake hobby seemed really cool

[ionic spindle]

I literally subbed to him on youtube and watched like 4 or 5 of his videos

and they are all phenomenally well made

[coarse fjord]

wait i gotta look him up now

dyk the handle

it prob depends on region availability and your interviewer

i got mine two days after i submitted ea tho

[ionic spindle]

https://www.youtube.com/@Chrisweeet

[coarse fjord]

his yt lowkey popping off

[ionic spindle]

I wouldn't even be surprised that someone like him got in

sad that it seems he faked it

I got super sketched when he showed a bank statement for "MIT Tuition" 77,020

like nobody pays a full year of tuition as a deposit

[coarse fjord]

💀

bro what lmfao

[ionic spindle]

Yeah

Dude has a heart condition from being bitten by a viper lol

Like dude totally deserves to get into MIT

[inland flicker]

Entirely fake then lol

I doubt MIT even allows you to do that, especially not before your first year even starts

[ionic spindle]

Yeah, but no one called him on it

and it was just one somewhat sketch thing so I didn't feel like calling him on that

[river sky]

As a fellow intl with prolly no oly achievements im sad

Hopefully MIT gna consider me in context of my school

[coarse fjord]

yeah lowkey i agree

his whole snake thing is very cool

[ionic spindle]

I'm just applying based on uniqueness alone

only chance of getting in

being so weird they accidentally accept me

[flint wigeon]

oh wat

[river sky]

How do you get 5 million community

That’s insane

[hidden wraith]

I'm weird irl but idt it shows on my app

waiting game is the worst

[ionic spindle]

https://tenor.com/view/anchorman-bigdeal-big-deal-will-ferrell-gif-5108168

lol

[junior heath]

#🚀-general-chat somewhere

[coarse fjord]

yall got this fr

[flint wigeon]

found it

[coarse fjord]

manifesting for u guys

[ionic spindle]

MIT is my safety

[junior heath]

💀

sure

[river sky]

What community is this

Like a subreddit??

[ionic spindle]

currently the head admin/site owner of https://www.unknowncheats.me/forum/index.php

[flint wigeon]

true

im getting yield protected fr fr

[exotic briar]

👋

help what
why even 💀

[coarse fjord]

dude yeah im still shook

it reminds me of that one kid who pretended they were a harvard student or something

[exotic briar]

I think a few years back there was someone from my local area who temporarily faked an MIT acceptance 💀
What is it with faking specifically MIT acceptances ☠️

[indigo sparrow]

mit

[ionic spindle]

I'd prolly fake getting denied

[indigo sparrow]

💀

[flint wigeon]

no cuz like whats the point of faking an acceptance 💀

it wont get you accepted if you do it...

[indigo sparrow]

prestige

bragging rights

fame

[modern lava]

There are some kids who make shit up like that in their own school community

It's crazy

[ionic spindle]

I be calling people on shit like that

like oh are you planning on going to CPW?

[modern lava]

Ofc

[ionic spindle]

90% of the time they ain't gonna know what that is

or the dates

[modern lava]

It's an excuse to get out of LA so why not lmaoooo

[coarse fjord]

oh facts actually

[ionic spindle]

if they are faking acceptance

[coarse fjord]

bro oats have u filled out the cpw form

i've been procrastinating it bcs the questions r so weird

[ionic spindle]

No I wasn't asking you I was giving an example of calling them on their bullshit

[modern lava]

I've filled out the form but I'm waiting to submit

[coarse fjord]

i put it doesnt matter for like every question LOL so i'll prob have to look through it again

[indigo sparrow]

just ask them what the gist of the short answers were

[modern lava]

Real

I did the same ngl I have like no preference

[coarse fjord]

yeah me too

it was kinda hard to answer them

[modern lava]

(BTW for y'all, the CPW form includes a lot of questions about how much you prioritize certain things so they can match you up to a student that you'd better get along with)

[coarse fjord]

made me think critically

yeah ^^

[modern lava]

this is the only question where I put very important lmfao

[coarse fjord]

LMFAO ME TOO

bro no offense but who is putting early to bed

that has to be an anomaly

[modern lava]

Early birds

[coarse fjord]

ngl i still havent met a single early bird

wait @modern lava dyk what you're going to major in

[modern lava]

Probably Course 1 - Civil and Environmental Engineering

[coarse fjord]

ohhh ok slay

[modern lava]

But we can't even declare a major until second year so

[coarse fjord]

yeye i was just wondering

[modern lava]

Just gonna explore ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Pass/No Record policy is no based

[coarse fjord]

OMG FR

[modern lava]

Then again that also means that the classes are gonna be so painful that we'll need it

[indigo sparrow]

if i get in i'll go eng too

[coarse fjord]

holy bro im tryna be premed too 💀

[modern lava]

So based

[coarse fjord]

no literally im so thankful

[modern lava]

https://youtu.be/IoY3IJvoZQ0?si=3TN_P3l9QimPk1u1&t=94

[coarse fjord]

wait why did i watch half of this alr 💀

[modern lava]

(You can set a youtube video to start midway through with links)

[coarse fjord]

oh

LMFAO my fault!

i was gonna do chem tho

so maybe not so easy

[modern lava]

MIT Chem 💀

Good luck

[coarse fjord]

yeah..

[coarse fjord]

act bio & chem (idk what course it is)

[modern lava]

Wait is that even a major

[coarse fjord]

yeye

it's goated

[modern lava]

Crazy

[coarse fjord]

yeah i might do biochem eng

idk

but in my app i said biochem

[modern lava]

Tbf that question says "though you may not know what to major in right now" or smth along those lines

[river sky]

Came a long way from montebello fr

[coarse fjord]

oh fr 💀

[modern lava]

MIT Doesn't accept by major

[coarse fjord]

ya i knew that

[modern lava]

Seriously all that question is there for is to gauge your interests right now

[coarse fjord]

but i think having a chem & bio major is pretty unique

[modern lava]

It is

[coarse fjord]

What field of study appeals to you the most right now? (Note: Applicants select from a drop-down list.) Tell us more about why this field of study at MIT appeals to you.

i think this is the prompt

[river sky]

Does MIT still evaluate in context of your school even if ur immigration status is fucked

[coarse fjord]

unless i didnt copy paste it all from the app

[modern lava]

You did not

[coarse fjord]

whoops!

yeah i think i wrote this supp the day it was due in the portal..

so

[modern lava]

Actually wait no that is the entire supp lmao I was remembering an old version of the question

[coarse fjord]

LOL

[modern lava]

The old phrasing was like "Though you may not know blah blah blah"

[coarse fjord]

ohhh okok

[modern lava]

Course 1 🔥

[junior heath]

🔥

[modern lava]

Fun fact Course 1 used to be Mechanical Engineering before Civil (and later, Civil and Environmental) Engineering took its place

No. 1 fr

[junior heath]

on top

[modern lava]

Huh there's a minor in International development

Ngl I'm probably end up studying this as a minor

'Cause like, I yapped about development so much in my QB app lmao

[coarse fjord]

bro

i was so sad

when i saw the tube didn't even have stickers

[modern lava]

At least the tim poster was cute

[coarse fjord]

yeah true but tim sticker 🙏

[modern lava]

Ngl I dunno why I was expecting the tube to have some kind of confetti launching mechanism

[coarse fjord]

LOL

[modern lava]

But then I figured out that'd pretty much be like a pipe bomb 💀

MIT Pipe Bomb fr

[coarse fjord]

broooo

yk what would be hype

a small tim plush

i think princeton had small tiger plushies

[modern lava]

https://www.thecoop.com/Realistic-TIM-Mascot

[gusty siren]

that thing was expensive 🥲

[coarse fjord]

$20 ??

[gusty siren]

was debating on buying it but was like nah not gonna spend that much on a plush 😭

[modern lava]

Huh this is the number of kids majoring in different subjects at MIT

[coarse fjord]

wait send link

[modern lava]

https://registrar.mit.edu/stats-reports/majors-count

The poor HASS majors, barely anyone majoring in them 😭

[coarse fjord]

LOL

did u apply anywehre else btw

[modern lava]

MIT only gives out Bachelors of Science majors

So the Music and Theater Arts major at MIT is a Bachelors of Science

Bachelors of Science in Music and Theater Arts goes crazy

[modern lava]

Too many

I had fee waivers, time over the break, and nothing to lose

[coarse fjord]

damn

would u go to mit over tho

[coarse fjord]

LMFAOOO

that's actually kinda funny

[modern lava]

I seriously doubt that anything could shake me but who knows what I'll prefer in the next few months

[coarse fjord]

Computer Science and Engineering, VI-3 => 752

that's insane

[modern lava]

I am considering Penn if I get M&T but that's just not happening lmao

[coarse fjord]

nah what ur the goat

[modern lava]

M&T is comically competitive

[coarse fjord]

dont doubt urself

[coarse fjord]

ok slay

[modern lava]

MIT doesn't even let us commit yet anyway so 💀

Might as well explore options

[modern lava]

comMIT*

[coarse fjord]

oml

this is giving flashbacks to that email

[flint wigeon]

wait for P/NR

do you still get gpa

[modern lava]

No

We calculate GPA for first-year students at the end of the spring semester.

First semester you don't get a GPA iirc

[flint wigeon]

ooh ok

[junior heath]

LMFAO

huge

[flint wigeon]

why are there .5 😭

[modern lava]

I have no idea 💀

[junior heath]

interesting

[modern lava]

Ah

[junior heath]

they want the CS education without the EE workload 💀

[modern lava]

There are like 51293291839219129 different CS majors at MIT

[junior heath]

i noticed 💀

wonder why 💀

[flint wigeon]

oh

oh wait

[junior heath]

:p

[flint wigeon]

you already sent 💀

[modern lava]

Urban Science and Planning with CS, EECS, CS and Engineering, CS and Molecular Biology, Computer Science, Economics and Data Science, Mathematics with Computer Sciencec

[flint wigeon]

istg every single one of my texts is an anagram

[modern lava]

CS moment

[junior heath]

almost like everyone wants to major in CS so they diversify it 💀

[modern lava]

Urban Planning + CS is so based

[junior heath]

math with cs is so crazy

[flint wigeon]

only 342 ppl with secondary majors hmm

[modern lava]

Math with extra math on top

[junior heath]

this is surprising

well not really

i just think bio engineering is really cool and has the chance to become very prevalent in the near future

[flint wigeon]

isnt it basically bme or no

[junior heath]

bme is more focused on solving medical problems

[modern lava]

The email lmaoooo

[flint wigeon]

ah i c

[modern lava]

😭

Manchester Impolite Teletubbies

[junior heath]

macaroni penguins can't read but that doesn't stop them from gossiping

[ionic spindle]

Half of a person is in the urban science and planning department lol

[fierce gust]

u cant even commit to mit until march lol

[ionic spindle]

Yeah he was faking

[junior heath]

hi kace

[fierce gust]

@modern lava does mit have a class cap like harvard for first year

mit seems like they need it 💀

[fierce gust]

hello

[modern lava]

Wdym

[fierce gust]

like at h u can only take 4 classes for the first sem/year (idr which)

[junior heath]

theres this

[fierce gust]

mit is weird w their stuff though

wtf is a unit

[junior heath]

0 clue 💀

https://firstyear.mit.edu/information-for-advisors/special-grading-and-credit-limits-for-first-year-students/

heres a first year page

[modern lava]

Ngl I'm postponing that planning for the future 💀

Plus there are academic advisors for this no

Oop https://firstyear.mit.edu/first-year-advising/

Yeah

[junior heath]

just do that

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[modern lava]

Right now I'm just planning to study for ASEs lol

[shrewd basalt]

[junior heath]

yeah whatever that means

[eternal jasper]

[sand lance]

[median shard]

guys whens the deadline to apply again

I forger

[placid flower]

💀💀

[tardy pulsar]

It was 4th

[ionic spindle]

Seriously tho how do some major have half a person

[modern lava]

Some majors are interdisciplinary majors between different departments

e.g Urban Planning + CS (Course 11-6)

So people in those majors are counted as half

Those majors appear twice in the registrar list btw, so it's split between the two different instances for the different schools

[hollow sedge]

i applied 6-3

[modern lava]

Comp Sci. and Engineering moment

[ionic spindle]

I feel like MIT should auto-deny pure comp sci people

[hollow sedge]

i dont think they have a "pure computer science" major

[modern lava]

MIT does not have a pure comp sci major

Instead, they have like 5031041020 different majors with comp sci in them

[ionic spindle]

Well then ignore me

because I'm stupid

tbh I never looked at the CS stuff

[inland flicker]

I chose pure Comp Sci in my app but I want to do Comp Sci & Political Science

It doesn't really matter; you don't have to declare until second semester

or

spring term of first year*

After 1 semester

[ionic spindle]

It doesn't really matter what I put

because I'm getting denied

[inland flicker]

Same

But maybe not

[modern lava]

• Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, VI-2
• Computer Science and Engineering, VI-3
• Computer Science and Molecular Biology, VI-7*
• Computer Science, Economics and Data Science, VI-14*
• Urban Science and Planning with Computer Science, XI-6*
• Mathematics with Computer Science, XVIII-C

Comp sci moment

[ionic spindle]

I wrote that I am every gender on the app

[inland flicker]

You forget CS & Political Science 😦

[modern lava]

Collectively I think that about 1.2k MIT students take a major with Comp Sci components

Crazy

[ionic spindle]

gonna get that 0% non binary acceptance rate

[modern lava]

MIT doesn't have a CS & Political Science major

You can dual major tho

[inland flicker]

It was an option

Perhaps that's what they meant tho

[wanton drum]

hey can someone give me advice

so i missed the deadline bc of a housefire, and i called the day of and asked for an extension

the lady on the phone said i'd have to email for an extension until the 7th, but it'd probably be granted

and I did, but the ao never got back to me

[ionic spindle]

Write it in your app ig

[crisp bay]

^

The universe really tryna stop u ngl

[astral vector]

do many accepted students at MIT not submit any supplemental portfolios?

[royal badger]

Have you submitted?

[wanton drum]

not my application yet

[royal badger]

Does it still let you?

[wanton drum]

i might just skip out honestly

i have yet to check LOL

i dont have ez access to internet

[royal badger]

When was the day you emailed

Idk the mit deadline lol

[wanton drum]

i think the 4th

[royal badger]

Ok, there’s a chance they’re super backed up bc of submissions

If it lets you submit id go for it

Bc you did email

I’ve had offices take quite a while before

[modern lava]

Portfolios are optional

Seriously

But if you have done some things in a field that's represented by one of the portfolio types and you're darn good at it, it can help

Not everyone has a mastery in visual or performing arts

Not every kid does research or makes independent engineering projects on their own (and some applicants won't even have the resources to do that)

Does it make sense to disadvantage kids who don't submit a portfolio in that context?

And kids have interests and ecs that just don't have portfolios

E.g if a student has done major advocacy work and has created huge change in their local community, does it make sense to disadvantage them for not submitting a portfolio?

The portfolio is just one part of your application, seriously, it really is optional

If you have portfolio work that you believe would make sense for faculty to review, and that would better let AOs get a sense of who you are, feel free to submit a portfolio

But it is by no means necessary

[junior heath]

common Oats W

[autumn bison]

common Oats :3

https://tenor.com/sTF64t4yFw5.gif

i dont like the constant rate at which the weight falls

🤨

[sly mango]

Aka

[junior heath]

it has hit terminal velocity

[autumn bison]

TRUE

[exotic briar]

Almost none of my friends submitted a portfolio
And almost all of them got in 🤷
Take that how you will

[austere marten]

bro is a mopper

[hollow sedge]

do you think i shouldve submitted my graphic design portfolio lol

[modern lava]

Their website specifically does say that they encourage all types of art so

[junior heath]

literally
its art
its impressive
theres no point in not submitting it

youll be fine dw

[hollow sedge]

no but like do you think i have "exceptional creative talent"

[junior heath]

what specifically did ya submit

but yes

[modern lava]

That's up for them to decide ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hollow sedge]

some of my a2c work, some of my designs for tamu esports, and a few personal designs

[junior heath]

if its any comfort at all i think its impressive

[hollow sedge]

i think its cringe that discord lets gifs be 8 mb but mit only lets gifs be 5 mb

[junior heath]

i was unaware of this
why.. wouldnt they just make it the standard for gifs D:

[topaz dirge]

now I wish I submitted a portfolio of maps 🫠

[coarse fjord]

i didn’t submit a art portfolio bcs i was lazy, but i showed my interviewer some work and she was more impressed with that than my research stuff lol

i’m not very good at art so take that as u will

[sand lance]

its not constant

[autumn bison]

really

wait how do u know did u look at it frame by frame wtf

[sand lance]

[autumn bison]

whar

[hollow sedge]

Consider the possibility that the weight has already reached terminal velocity

Also 10 tons means nothing because we don't know if the gif takes place on earth, so we can't know the air resistance

[ionic spindle]

dude was so nice

wth

[west widget]

not to me

real dick to me

[rare tartan]

anyone knows how hard ipho is

[royal badger]

Try #🏹-extracurriculars?

[tardy pulsar]

Literally the hardest physics comp for high school students

[rare tartan]

how about ijso yk that?

[brittle glacier]

if you're a senior then you're too old for it anyways

[obtuse heron]

did a lot of y'all do the maker portfolio?

[flint wigeon]

i did the research one

[rare tartan]

no i was just asking if it's hard

[hollow sedge]

Just got my interview request aaaaa

[coarse fjord]

omg glll

is it in person

[dawn prairie]

i haven't gotten any interview for rd yet

is this a bad sign

i know people submitting later than me and already getting interview, from the same country

[coarse fjord]

nah don't sweat it lol

it prob depends on region

[dawn prairie]

yeah ig

[river sky]

You think usapho gonna check my status if I qual 🤭

[hollow sedge]

It's online

[hazy musk]

have my interview on wednesday... definitely not nervous or anything :)

[median grotto]

For MIT maker portfolio, if I submit research should I only submit abstracts?

[hollow sedge]

Submit research to the research portfolio

The maker portfolio will not be reviewed if it falls under what another portfolio does, so no research-only or art-only submissions to maker

[median grotto]

But what if I have done a bit of research and a lot of maker stuff?

[hollow sedge]

Are the maker things and your research closely tied together

[median grotto]

Kinda?

[hollow sedge]

You can submit multiple portfolios as long as they're different types, and AO's will be able to see all submitted portfolios

[median grotto]

So like creating an LLM and using it for research are like maker + research.

[hollow sedge]

If the focus of your research is ML or it's applying ML to something, do a research portfolio imo

[median grotto]

Also, does something happen if the research portfolio arrives in february or sth?

totally not why I wanted to submit an abstract hehe not done yet.

[hollow sedge]

assuming youre applying RA, theres an explicit deadline in slideroom for submission, but idk how late submissions work

[west widget]

is it bad if i dont get an interview?

[junior heath]

no

based on availability

[west widget]

oh ok cool so it's basically random

thanks

i was wondering if it meant anything cuz i literally submitted my app 2 day ago

makes me a lot less nervous haha

[junior heath]

i submitted my app on the 2nd and didnt get my interview request till the 5th

[pliant hemlock]

what to expect from my MIT interview?

[modern lava]

Expect to have a very fun and interesting conversation

[pliant hemlock]

I see

[pliant hemlock]

how much weight do you think it carries. (I kinda fucked up on a supplemental)

[junior heath]

n o b o d y k n o w s
just try to have an engaging interview, leave a good impression, and find out march 14

[modern lava]

It really depends

Someone here had a mid af interview and got admitted

I had an amazing interview, also got admitted

It's hard to give a certain weight to it in the process

It matters, but it's not the end all be all

[pliant hemlock]

kk thanks man

[modern lava]

Real

[exotic briar]

no

We should really put this on FAQ's

(even tho people won't read 🤡)

[river sky]

unrelated but how much grind was it to get into MOP?

i think i pretty much fluked bc i got a 120 on 12A this year with no prep at all and im going thru EGMO book

[royal badger]

The reddit takes care of admissions faqs

https://mitadmissions.org/help/faq/what-is-the-interview-process/

Interviews are conducted from October through November for Early Action and December through January for Regular Action.

Interviews are not a required part of the MIT application. While we try to offer as many interviews as we can, we have limited availability and may not able to offer interviews to all applicants. If your interview is waived, it will not put you at a disadvantage in the admissions process.

The VFX is crazy on this one

VFX people are honestly wizards seriously

[junior heath]

[modern lava]

The VFX artists that twist and contort things that exist irl are the real wizards

[junior heath]

imagine that ship scene without vfx 💀

[junior heath]

TRUE

[modern lava]

To be fair I wouldn't put it past MIT to design a ship like that just for the bit

[junior heath]

jokes aside pi day was always built into my school a ton

my middle school tried to base their entire philosophy off MIT

[modern lava]

Lmao

Tbf if you had to choose a school to base a philosophy on MIT is the based option

[west widget]

my middle school did a really good job of it too

[junior heath]

no bias detected

[west widget]

except all the kids were crazy competitive

[hollow sedge]

a2c bloodbath part 2

[modern lava]

Clearly no bias here

[hollow sedge]

i would remark that its great mit is 2 weeks before ivy day but then i remembered i didnt apply to any ivies rd

[west widget]

whenever harvard drops is gonna be the day of broken dreams

[modern lava]

Hahrdhvarhd

[west widget]

hahahahaahahah no admission for you vard

that should be their new name

[modern lava]

So real

Ngl tho I did apply to Harvard

Reused literally all of my essays

[west widget]

interesting i didnt think many could be reused

[junior heath]

same

[modern lava]

Jerry rigged an app in like 5 hours lmfao

[west widget]

MIT was the one school that i couldn't re-use essays for

it just didn't work

[modern lava]

You can in fact

The Harvard prompts are so vague that you could, without much effort, adapt another essay to fit the prompt

[west widget]

oh i did it the other way around

did harvard before MIT

[hollow sedge]

i recycled my caps for the tamu and ut long essays

[junior heath]

i still have to apply to one school 💀

[modern lava]

Oh no I don't mean reusing MIT for Harvard

I recycled supps from a ton of different schools

[west widget]

i couldn't use my caps for UT long essay

ahh

yeah i still couldn't recycle many

[hollow sedge]

i didnt recycle many on the basis of i wanted to write better

so i did brand new gatech and mit supps

[junior heath]

Harvard has long recognized the importance of enrolling a diverse student body. How will the life experiences that shape who you are today enable you to contribute to Harvard?
common life experience essay, make it fit for harvard
Briefly describe an intellectual experience that was important to you. (200 words)
reuse a caltech essay
Briefly describe any of your extracurricular activities, employment experience, travel, or family responsibilities that have shaped who you are (200 words)
you probably have one like this somewhere
How do you hope to use your Harvard education in the future? (200 words)
maybe one like this too
Top 3 things your roommates might like to know about you. (200 words)
stanford roommate essay

[modern lava]

I recycled two from QB (including one as my CAPS), one from Yale, one from MIT, one from Columbia, and one from Stanford

Lmaoooo

[west widget]

i did not apply stanford or caltech

[royal badger]

A lot of LACs release near MIT iirc

[modern lava]

The Harvard roommate prompt is just the Stanford one but worse

It's so sad

[junior heath]

did you trip your QB CAPS to 200 words for hahvahd?

tf

[junior heath]

its so much worse
3 things? why not write a good letter
cmon

[modern lava]

No for the CAPS

I used the 500 words one not the 800 words one too

[junior heath]

ahh right

i forgot that CA stands for commonapp

[modern lava]

Ngl it would be so impossible to cut down my 800 words one down 💀

I already struggled getting it down to 800

[junior heath]

800 -> 200 is a crazy goal 💀

[modern lava]

No to 650

[junior heath]

oh yeah commonapp

[modern lava]

I reused one of my 200 word QB essays for Harvard tho

[junior heath]

im

losing it

anyway

[junior heath]

id image its so information dense that removing even one sentence detracts a lot of detail

[modern lava]

I used my QB essay about fried chicken for this prompt 💀

Briefly describe any of your extracurricular activities, employment experience, travel, or family responsibilities that have shaped who you are (200 words)

[hollow sedge]

after my mit interview this weekend im just chilling until march

[modern lava]

Pretty much

The QB Prompt basically asks you for your life story 💀

[junior heath]

oh yeah no more interviews huh

[junior heath]

💀 noooooo

in 800 words too 😭

[modern lava]

I thought my 500 word essay was more representative of the strengths of my app so I used it instead

[west widget]

i just scheduled mine for friday

i'm gonna go play soccer then roll up to the interview

[modern lava]

I just threw a lot of the content of that essay into additional info since a lot of it overlaps with extenuating circumstances

[west widget]

soccer club is friday at my school too

[modern lava]

[junior heath]

i scheduled mine for when my rehearsal is so i dont have to go to it and i have a valid excuse

[junior heath]

thats

literally so vague

wtf

[hollow sedge]

for this prompt

MIT brings people with diverse backgrounds together to collaborate, from tackling the world’s biggest challenges to lending a helping hand. Describe one way you have collaborated with others to learn from them, with them, or contribute to your community together.
i wrote about making events and how a2c uhc (working with a team vs by myself) let me see the value of teamwork or something like that

lol

[modern lava]

Honestly I love my QB personal statement but like

I just didn't think it'd fit as a CAPS

My QB essay was made with the assumption that it'd be read alongside my other QB essays which add more depth to my app

For CAPS 😬

[junior heath]

i did lessons learned from robotics world championship allowing me to reestablish and strengthen my state's robotics program with help from other students and mentors 💀

[modern lava]

I felt my topical essay was more fitting for my CAPS

[junior heath]

oh boy
youll be fine im sure but w/e

[junior heath]

whatd you write abt

[modern lava]

A concept concerning the intersection of science and art

I looked at my ECs and transcript and realized that was actually a huge part of my life and by extension my app

[junior heath]

i hate this question

'because i do'

[modern lava]

So I believed it was more representative of my app

[hollow sedge]

for this prompt

We know you lead a busy life, full of activities, many of which are required of you. Tell us about something you do simply for the pleasure of it.
i wrote about using my phone's tuner app as an instrument sometimes when im not home w/ my cello
imo shouldve been more normal and wrote about playing video games 💀

[junior heath]

why do you like xyz food? because you just do?

[royal badger]

Wait aww this is so nice

[junior heath]

well clearly it worked

[junior heath]

wait you play cello

[hollow sedge]

yes but im extremely lazy

[junior heath]

whats your favorite concerto

[modern lava]

Sounds like a great answer

[royal badger]

Not the reaction

[modern lava]

That's what t hey're looking for honestly

[west widget]

i wrote about restarting playing piano after stopping 8 years of lessons

[hollow sedge]

i dont know why i use either its like a random reaction

[junior heath]

i wrote about keyboards

[west widget]

this time by myself

[modern lava]

A lot of people use that prompt to blab about community service but the real essence of the prompt is just to see that you care about others and are open to working with and learning from other people

[hollow sedge]

i unfortunately quit piano

some time ago

[hollow sedge]

oh crap i didnt even see this lmao

[west widget]

4999999999999999999999999f 8999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

[hollow sedge]

https://open.spotify.com/track/2Z4aQJh0kesRMookvtfR4y

[modern lava]

Harvard has long recognized the importance of enrolling a diverse student body. How will the life experiences that shape who you are today enable you to contribute to Harvard?

• Reused a Columbia supp talking about my background and my perspectives on various issues
  Briefly describe an intellectual experience that was important to you.
• Reused a Yale supp talking about Strategy Games 💀
  Briefly describe any of your extracurricular activities, employment experience, travel, or family responsibilities that have shaped who you are.
• Fried Chicken. (QB app, greatest accomplishment essay)
  How do you hope to use your Harvard education in the future?
• Blabbed about Environmental Engineering and reused a story from my MIT supp
  Top 3 things your roommates might like to know about you.
• Destroyed my Stanford essay to fit the prompt 💀

[hollow sedge]

if its what you do for fun then so be it

[junior heath]

[hollow sedge]

some person who was admitted wrote about how they watched youtube videos for fun because they liked learning and it was interesting or something

[modern lava]

I have a habit of reading the most cringe manhwas possible

[coarse fjord]

[modern lava]

Based

[hollow sedge]

i dont read manga or watch anime i just play games all day ☠️

[junior heath]

[hollow sedge]

ace attorney, minecraft, and league mainly

[junior heath]

league

minecraft and ace attorney based tho

[modern lava]

Uhhhh strategy games, manhwa, and art (mainly 3D)

[hollow sedge]

a lot of things

sometimes i hop on hypixel

[junior heath]

art (3d) is so vague tell me more

[hollow sedge]

and sometimes i hop on my own creative world and keep designing my freeway for boats

[coarse fjord]

heres a freeway interchange

[coarse fjord]

😭

dawg that’s gonna be u

civil engineering

[modern lava]

Exaaactly

[junior heath]

why 2 pistons
dumb question probably but wouldnt you only need 1

[modern lava]

We all about concrete in this house

[hollow sedge]

makes sure the boat gets lifted

[coarse fjord]

i did this transportation camp before

[modern lava]

TENSILE STRENGTH 💪
COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH 💪

[hollow sedge]

by increasing the length of the ramp you can preserve the boat's speed better

[coarse fjord]

and it was lowkey cool we built bridges and had a contest and made our own concrete mix

[junior heath]

does it not regardless? also what speed are tehy going at when going through this exchange

[hollow sedge]

something like 5 blocks a second

[modern lava]

I think I wrote one of my UC essays basically about bridges lmfao

Bridges 💪 💪 💪

[coarse fjord]

i wrote one of mine about board games 😭

[junior heath]

i see i see
have you implemented these designs in any servers yet?

[modern lava]

Not every UC campus offers Civil tho

So I kept it vague just by talking about engineering 😭

[coarse fjord]

bro biochem is actually not that common i realized

[hollow sedge]

no because boat freeways are completely impractical in survival

[coarse fjord]

kinda annoyed me

[modern lava]

But it's pretty obvious it's Civil

[junior heath]

oh?

how so

[hollow sedge]

i designed it to be completely possible to build in survival, but still impractical lol

[hollow sedge]

freeways both irl and in mc are giant safety devices basically

they minimize the risk of collisions

but in minecraft hitting your boat into another boat is just a few seconds of inconvenience

[junior heath]

true

[modern lava]

Freeways are a LEECH that DRAINS the LIFE of cities

🔪 🔪 🔪

[junior heath]

i see yeah

[hollow sedge]

la resident

[junior heath]

^

[hollow sedge]

los angeles somehow managed to apply the grid city design to freeways 💀

[modern lava]

I JUST SPENT AN HOUR DRIVING ACROSS LA ON THE SAME FREEWAY

I only made it halfway across the city fasnfa ufeah

[junior heath]

eeeeeeee

[coarse fjord]

that looks like cancer

[hollow sedge]

also minecraft is very low traffic

so you cant employ them as a traffic calming measure either

[junior heath]

yeah

[coarse fjord]

austin’s traffic is so bad now

it’s becoming LA 2.0

[junior heath]

how does this look

[hollow sedge]

austin is california in texas

[modern lava]

(This is without traffic, at night)

[coarse fjord]

like it’s cold

[modern lava]

With traffic this is easily two hours

[coarse fjord]

it looks nice

[modern lava]

The 101 freeway

[coarse fjord]

like if i blew a breath i could see it

[junior heath]

ok how abt this

[coarse fjord]

warm ish and dry

[modern lava]

I love rocks

[junior heath]

[west widget]

[modern lava]

Ngl seeing snow was a dream I've had since like I was a kid 💀

[coarse fjord]

running in cold weather is actually the worst

[modern lava]

Growing up in a tropical country does that to you

[west widget]

bro it SUCKS

[modern lava]

I'm done with the sun ngl

[coarse fjord]

i almost fainted once during sprints after tennis

[junior heath]

same

[modern lava]

🖕🌞

[royal badger]

It’s fun for the first two days

[coarse fjord]

cuz we had to sprint in like the 60 degree AC after a two hour 100+ degree practice outside

[modern lava]

It seriously can't be worse than sweltering in 100F without A/C

[junior heath]

WITHOUT AC???

[west widget]

vegas man

[modern lava]

A/C is expensive :(

[royal badger]

Did you have a fan?

[west widget]

that 105F in the storage unit is no joke

but hey

[junior heath]

true but that SUCKS

[modern lava]

Yes, but blowing hot air around barely helps

[west widget]

$15 an hour is $15 an hour

that conex is fuckin hot

but its worth it

[junior heath]

my family and another used to go to scottsdale (right outside of phoenix) in july and one time when we came outside of the movie theater the temperature sensor in car read 130 💀

[hollow sedge]

the little part of the country between the midwest and south has the best weather

[modern lava]

Appalachia moment

[hollow sedge]

theres 1-2 months of bad heat and 1-2 months of bad cold and then the rest is just pleasant

[junior heath]

i have a solution!!

[royal badger]

I feel perhaps it’ll be slightly better in Boston bc they’re actually prepped for snow but Portland was horrid on snow days

Everything shut down

[junior heath]

go to antarctica
its 12 months of very similar weather

[hollow sedge]

convert the thermal energy in the air to electrical energy to power your phone
