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

[royal badger]

Which is what appealed to me personally

[strong torrent]

ahhhhh

what's the coolest class you've taken

[royal badger]

I mean I’ve only been at Davis for ~2 quarters and my cc kinda lacked icl

Very nice profs that I absolutely loved

But in terms of classes we could take nothing too niche

I liked my public relations class at Davis

I’m taking the second part (social media in PR) this spring

[cerulean trail]

2 weeks

[strong torrent]

oh

[strong torrent]

V cool

[elder vine]

Bro no way Petey was in here

Who summoned him

[royal badger]

Magic

[strong torrent]

Petey and rishab jain were active in a2c today

what are the odds

[royal badger]

Not the first for either of them tbf

We’re missing gohar tho

[strong torrent]

HE'S IN A2C???

[strong torrent]

no i mean on the same day

[royal badger]

Fair

[royal badger]

And yes please don’t ping

That’s been an issue before

[river sky]

Goat 🐐🔥

Wtf petey marx enjoyer????

[strong torrent]

lol no dw

I'll just slide into dms 😚

actually im in his server so

[ionic spindle]

I wonder how much petey just lurks

like I think he reads every message but only replies sometimes

you never know when petey could be lurking

[radiant pivot]

spell anything 🤣

[royal badger]

His username makes sense then

[solid comet]

peteyrepliesinbracketssometimes

[west widget]

shoot i'll send you one of my weighted d20s

[fierce gust]

Is this thread alive

[indigo sparrow]

totally not

[graceful vortex]

how do we update mit on new awards outside of the fun form

do we just email their admissions?

[indigo sparrow]

I think so

[graceful vortex]

do you think it would be worth it?

i have a few regional awards but mit says that they prefer updates through the fun form right

[indigo sparrow]

the fun form is gone

update them thru admissions

[graceful vortex]

alr thanks!

[royal badger]

It’ll get active again once the decision date announcement video and blog drop

And then I’ll get 4 pings and 5 modmails yelling at me to make the countdown command and maybe 1 who says to update the calendar

[strong torrent]

aren't decisions always 3/14 6:28 pm et tho

when have they not been

[royal badger]

Usually

2020 or 2021 it was 1:59

Whichever was a Saturday

Id assume it’s 6:28 by historical data

[strong torrent]

ah

[royal badger]

And bc iirc they’ve said they don’t wanna release during school

Or maybe that was another school idr

Like tbh I could probably make the command now for 6:28, add smth on the embed saying time isn’t confirmed, and suck up the people who complain if it ends up being another time and the command isn’t immediately updated

[strong torrent]

😭

command now would just result in people spamming

[royal badger]

Ill find random old webpages to spam back with

https://web.mit.edu/bball/www/

[strong torrent]

lmao what

i was thinking about how the colleges with the highest yield rate are uchicago and mit

but whereas uchicago protects that yield rate with their hyperfocus on ed

mit just does not care

they don't have rea

they don't have binding qb

afaik they don't send promotional mail as well

and yet

mit is so cool man

[tardy pulsar]

Mit is him

[royal badger]

getting my fall schedule ready and it does not look fun...

wtf am i supposed to do during those gaps

see thats a pro tip kids try and either have super long or short gaps not mid ones

[hollow sedge]

read textbooks in advance on lecture topics

[strong torrent]

sleep

wake up early morning and sleep in the afternoon

who's productive during afternoons anyway

also colleges keep classes at like 6 pm??? damn

[royal badger]

I had one from 6:10pm-9pm in fall

[strong torrent]

my god

what are average class lengths

[royal badger]

Also it’s largely a bus schedule issue bc the unwritten rule due to consistent bus delays is to go one bus early and buses only run once a half hour

Like on Wednesdays I’d probably get home around 12:30pm and need to leave by 2:15pm

[strong torrent]

you mean bus within the campus or bus back to your dorm or smth

[royal badger]

Back to apt

Too far to walk

[strong torrent]

cant you just sleep in the library or smth

is that not allowed

[royal badger]

Idk if it’s allowed but I don’t want stuff stolen

[strong torrent]

ahhhhhhh

valid

[royal badger]

During my current schedule gaps I go to a coffee shop downtown which is about a 15m walk from campus

But my gaps aren’t nearly as long

I’d feel bad staying longer than 2h at a shop

And we have the student memorial union thingy and library but those get so packed

[strong torrent]

just read in the library

or can you do club work during that time?

[royal badger]

It’s not an issue of what to do sometimes as much as finding a place to sit

My gaps are during peak hours

Idk I might try but first few weeks of quarter might be worse than later

Also this is fall quarter so all freshmen will be there

[strong torrent]

is it really that crowded

also what about the college vibes™ of sitting on the grass and working lol

[royal badger]

Have you ever played crossy road

Crossing Davis bike circles is kinda like that

[royal badger]

Some people do this during nice weather

We have a quad between our memorial union where study areas and food are and the library with grass

I’m not really a fan tho bc grass makes me itchy

[strong torrent]

i have not unfortunately

[strong torrent]

oh that makes sense

Are there not like benches or tables in the grass tho

[royal badger]

Do you know what frogger is

It’s basically the same game

[strong torrent]

lol what i just googled it and it's certainly interesting

[royal badger]

In the grass? No

[strong torrent]

ah

Like benches on the side

[royal badger]

There are 4 hammocks

[royal badger]

Ah yeah closer to the MU

But when it rains those get wet

[strong torrent]

does it rain a lot

[strong torrent]

Oh that's pretty

[royal badger]

I’m not sure how much it’s supposed to rain bc this year is an El Niño year

So it’s extra bad weather

We’ve had a lot of high winds

Today was 40mph gusts

[strong torrent]

ah rip

[royal badger]

Temp wise it’s decent most the year bc we don’t get cold winters but summers are brutal

[strong torrent]

haha coming from South India i think cali summers will be awesome

winters will be chilly tho

but at least it's not east coast😭

[royal badger]

SoCal is more mild ime

Well that’s a lie

I didn’t live as inland there

But yeah it kinda depends on where

[strong torrent]

cal as a whole should be fine for me

anything else tho will be tough

[shrewd basalt]

I have never done this

I don't trust the grass enough

Nor do I see any use in it

[strong torrent]

yeah obviously

stem majors don't touch grass that's a given

[shrewd basalt]

Weather will definitely be better than South India

Year-round

[strong torrent]

im so excited!

[dawn prairie]

should i send an update to all colleges (even those that dont have space in protal so i will have to send an email) if i have big things to tell or do u think its like bragging idk 😭 im scared it will change my decision to the worst for some reason cause like the update pdf i have is 300 words or smth, but probably they can just skim through it, no way it will harm me

[mossy sluice]

Guys is it too late to update mit about gates

[cedar hornet]

i mean they probably made their decision already

might as well try tho

[indigo sparrow]

does eating beaver meat increase or decrease your chances of getting into MIT

[stoic frost]

if you threaten to eat tim, they will have no choice but to accept you

[junior ocean]

Yes, if the beaver’s name is Bernoulli.

[acoustic folio]

how's the thread doing

left here since 12/16 :D

[tardy pulsar]

Not so good

[obtuse heron]

I mean we’re like barely any days away from pi day

It’s bound to get talkative soon

[fathom knoll]

why indeed!

only <t:1710458880:R> till RD result (or 11 days 8 hours 41 minutes 1 seconds from now exactly)

[ionic spindle]

Very scary

[tardy pulsar]

Wow

Why do I even have hope for MIT 😭

[ionic spindle]

same

I wrote on my calendar just "Rejection" for when decisions come out

[tardy pulsar]

real

one kid from my country got in EA so theres almost no chance

2 mit in 1 year never happened here

[ionic spindle]

Doesn't mean it can't

[tardy pulsar]

true

Not zero tho

[ionic spindle]

There were 0 people with <1400 SAT accepted for a few years

But it has happened

[tardy pulsar]

this year?

[ionic spindle]

idk about this year

but it happened in 2019-2020

[tardy pulsar]

oh i see

its kinda scary that first decision of mine will be MIT

[ionic spindle]

Its gonna be my 5th

[tardy pulsar]

is ur major CS?

[ionic spindle]

No

But I got into RIT and GT for CS

[tardy pulsar]

ahh i see

nice

[ionic spindle]

Won't be attending them tho

[tardy pulsar]

right right

[ionic spindle]

I'm praying I just get one good school further away from home

I want to get out of NC

[elder vine]

mit gonna come in clutch fr fr

we all getting in trust

[tardy pulsar]

u giving me hope ngl

[elder vine]

just gotta manifest really hard

[tardy pulsar]

same

one is enough

[elder vine]

i cooked on my fun form fr fr

and now Im gonna get in fr fr

[tardy pulsar]

I think i also did good

[ionic spindle]

I wish I applied to UW

[tardy pulsar]

they probably cried after reading mine

[elder vine]

oh damn

[ionic spindle]

I just wrote about what I had been working on

on my fun form

[elder vine]

I just added a bunch of ec stuff and a portfolio code website I made

and talked about a study abroad trip I did

[acoustic folio]

where u from bro

thats true in my country also

its either 0 or 1 person getting in every year

[strong torrent]

Which country if you don't mind me asking

[tardy pulsar]

@plucky lance

[plucky lance]

u gotta leave bro

cant imagine being there

[tardy pulsar]

[tardy pulsar]

I mean im tryin

[strong torrent]

sus

[plucky lance]

id take any us school over it

even a random school in southeast asia

[tardy pulsar]

I could get like full scholarship at Yonsei or some other schools just with my sat and stuffs tho

But I want US badly

[austere vapor]

The MIT admissions emails keep scaring me

[neat hollow]

Yonsei is nice

[dawn prairie]

did someone get in early?

[gusty siren]

MIT having a teado on campus is my x reasons

[inland flicker]

I hate logging into MIT's admission portal and seeing my "An update was posted to your portal on December 16th, 2023"

[elder vine]

Deferred gang

[elder vine]

!mit

!mitrd

[eternal jasper]

less than two weeks

[ionic spindle]

I am become freak

[tardy pulsar]

Like 10 days

[strong torrent]

no bcuz fr i get a jump scare everytime I log into my deferred schools

[acoustic folio]

I think no

I was just saying that not many people get in

Aka <=1

[grave token]

we used to not always hit pi day in the paper application days

in the early aughts

and sometimes we've done other times

e.g .https://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/decision_date_2011/

[oak tartan]

the ye olde days

[west widget]

do yall know what the admission package comes with?

might as well know what im missing out on 😂

[hollow sedge]

the coveted silver tube

[hollow sedge]

the a d m i s s i o n s o f f i c e

[solid pawn]

ok

[west widget]

what is in that tube

[hollow sedge]

apparently its the admit letter, some confetti, and something else i dont remember

like merch maybe?

[west widget]

oh that's pretty cool

[modern lava]

Some extra letters and a poster of Wide Tim

[candid wave]

entering chad era in anticipation of being cooked for next week

🔥

[elder crow]

same here

[fathom wasp]

sameee

[elder crow]

Sucks more cause its at 6:28 PM

now I have to face anticipation through school

[candid wave]

i have that day off 💀

just hopign i can catch a W from ucla the day after lmaooo

[obtuse heron]

Wait UCLA comes out the day after?

Damn

[candid wave]

If I get in here I'm gonna laugh so hard

[obtuse heron]

I thought they were late March?

[candid wave]

someone told me it was the 15th

lowk i might be completely wrong lmao

[obtuse heron]

Hahaha, honestly it don’t matter imma open that portal when I get an email

Aaaaahhh all of this is nerve wracking

[dawn prairie]

whaaaaat??

oh wait nvm

i read "i think so"

lmaooooo

[acoustic folio]

i mean

i literally know 0 other people who applied early

[brittle glacier]

because you'd have to be nuts to apply early as an intl

[strong torrent]

why

Is it easier to get in rd

[brittle glacier]

i was half joking (i applied early too)

mit takes in very few early

[strong torrent]

?

Or do they defer a lot

[brittle glacier]

i think its the same difficulty

just they take less in ea for some reason

idk how much they defer for intl

[strong torrent]

Ah

did you get deferred?

[brittle glacier]

yeah

[strong torrent]

gl for π day

[brittle glacier]

thanks

[unique vortex]

mid is mit

[oak tartan]

ET?

[elder crow]

Yup

I hate Massachusetts Institute of Deferrals MID

[elder crow]

Let's go I also got deferred

https://tenor.com/view/sao-alicization-kirito-kirigaya-kazuto-asca-gif-24650815

[oak tartan]

so 3:28 for me

it'll be during practice

[indigo sparrow]

it'll be on the 15th for me

[solid pawn]

L. I withdrew.

[west widget]

why'd you withdraw?

[solid pawn]

Didn’t like the school. Applied for satisfaction of dad but he also stopped caring.

[west widget]

oh

did you get a refund

[solid pawn]

No

[west widget]

damn

good for you though

[solid pawn]

Also I think it’s the one university I don’t really have a chance at

[west widget]

lowkey same bro

from what ive been told my test scores and course rigor is too low

[fathom knoll]

do the MIT AOs really go "we release on pi day at exactly tau time ooo we're so cool!!!"

[raven heron]

yea

[solid pawn]

oh nah i’m fine w those i j dont vibe w mit

[west widget]

nah my stuff is ass 😂

[west widget]

how come

[fathom knoll]

the only half decent part of my application is half cooked maker portfolio (ea deferred)

[solid pawn]

vibes

[west widget]

wym vibes

like did ya tour ?

[solid pawn]

no i j dont fuck w it

[cedar hornet]

i mean u might as well let it play out

if u already paid

[raven heron]

real

i dont see the point of withdrawing apps (unless you get in somewhere ed, if you don't withdraw then ur a piece of shit)

[cedar hornet]

extend this to unless u get in someone that u are pretty much committing too

if u get into stanford early like sure its reasonable to not rescind berkeley and la but no way u dont rescind uc davis and riverside

[raven heron]

real but i feel like its still valid to keep it in some cases

just a few cases tho

[hollow sedge]

hot take: i think mit making you self-report grades is a good thing

sure it takes effort, but it makes sure any transcript issues dont lead to them not getting all your grades

[sand lance]

I got a phone call but the woman only said SEVEN DAYSSS

[strong torrent]

why

[dawn prairie]

what should the title of an email for an update be?

Application Update for [insert name here]. MIT Reference Number [insert id here]

[obtuse heron]

Yeah I suppose that would work 👍

[faint sparrow]

Hey, @grave token
Pinging to bring your attention to a personal message I've sent [IT'S IMPORTANT]
Thanks!

[inland flicker]

Not sure that he responds to DMs about admissions/application matters. Official correspondence for that stuff is generally required to the student/parent/guardians/counselors/school faculty/other people who are indicated by the applicant

[faint sparrow]

It's not regarding to a personal admission matter but thanks for your concern

[inland flicker]

In general I don’t think he replies to DMs about questions either

[faint sparrow]

It's not a question either

[inland flicker]

Lol

[hollow sedge]

💀

[inland flicker]

I’m just saying petey isn’t gonna reply to any DMs

[mossy sluice]

Doesn’t matter just say applicant update

[hollow sedge]

But also, please don't cold ping server members

[hollow sedge]

I was 💀'ing the ping lol

[inland flicker]

Oh lol

Yeah kinda wild

[raven heron]

💀

[royal badger]

Yeah Petey’s Reddit bio mentions he prob won’t reply to DMs

the only thing you should be messaging about is when the decision announcement video will drop anyways…

[river sky]

💀

[cedar hornet]

probably

albeit at this time theyve probably reached a decision already

[eternal jasper]

guys who would win in a fight caltech beaver or mit beaver

[tardy pulsar]

I’d win

[plucky lance]

hello mit thread

my siblings birthday are on mit this year

and i wanna get them smth so they can start thinking abt college but idk what to

ps: they are in 7th grade

i was thinking an mit hoodie?

cus they r doing aops rn

[west widget]

some math books would be kinda cool ngl

and an MIT hoodie

[plucky lance]

have that alr

[west widget]

if you get in you keep the hoodie

[plucky lance]

i didnt apply to mit

[west widget]

if you dont then they get the hoodie and get to grow into it

😂

[plucky lance]

lol

[west widget]

im just messing man

[plucky lance]

yea i was thinking buy an hoodie

oh lol

[west widget]

yeah an MIT hoodie would be great

[plucky lance]

ty

[raven heron]

ima bsfr but get them normal kid stuff

sure they can start thinking about college and stuff by doing comp math

but

they shouldn't really focus until sophomore year

even that's pretty early

junior year's reasonable

lowk getting an mit hoodie for my birthday would give me trauma

especially if i'd get rejected in 6 years

[plucky lance]

yea lmao i was joking

[plucky lance]

yeahh

gotta have a childhood still

Whomst

Also nighttime thought

What are the chances someone has successfully sold their MIT acceptance tube on eBay

To some random prestige obsessed kid

[strong torrent]

nonzero id say

what are you gonna do with dozens of acceptance packages if you don't end up going there

my friend has a u of toronto water bottle because her sister got in and currently goes to berkeley

so that's one option if it's like a useful thing like a luggage tag or whatever

but what do you do with a tube

[vernal iris]

Is it normal that the Parent's 2022 Foreign Income Tax Return is marked as (Not Received) instead of (Waived) in the MIT financial aid portal?

My parents don't file taxes, and the office received the tax non-filer forms in addition to a verification statement.

[tardy pulsar]

Mine is same and dk what to do lol

Since they’re need blind, i thought that would be my concern if i get in

Which is very unlikely

[fringe shale]

is the 6:28 release time in et?

[midnight hemlock]

Contact the Financial Aid Office, I had the same problem with Cornell and they checked and corrected the portal to show submitted

[austere marten]

That’s what it says on the A2C website so probably

[tardy pulsar]

I contacted and they said to just submit it and stop being a bitc

[lavish mauve]

when is the date?

[strong torrent]

3/14 predicted

[lavish mauve]

to submit what? i have the same issue. IDOC says everything is up-to-date

[pliant hemlock]

Sigh I'm glad I applied anyway. I would've regretted not applying. Idk why I had to start at 11:30pm😭

Ik I messed up but now I have hope

[inland flicker]

?

[pliant hemlock]

I wasn't considering applying until last minute

[dawn prairie]

the video is actually very cool ngl

[fathom knoll]

anyone cooked their maker portfolio?
I discovered it like 3 days before admissions and half baked something on past projects

[median shard]

if MIT accepts me without interview i am going to cry 🙂

[fathom knoll]

I didnt get an interview either though I am international

[median shard]

same

[median shard]

dream school since forever

[inland flicker]

You got accepted Yale REA?

[median shard]

yeah lol

[fathom knoll]

nice

congrats

[inland flicker]

nice

[median shard]

thanks!

[pliant hemlock]

My interviewer pop quized me☠️

Maybe you're lucky

[fathom knoll]

watch me get in with my 780 math

I dont have any hope, do I?

[hazy musk]

A 780 math will not be the reason for a rejection.

[median shard]

imagine rejecting someone over 1 incorrect sat question

[pliant hemlock]

Thats normal for mit💀

[worthy lion]

isn't mit's 25th percentile for SAT math at 790 according to their 2022-23 CDS?

[fathom knoll]

everyone I spoke to from MIT said they didnt meet anyone with less than a 790 💀

[fathom knoll]

yippie

[pliant hemlock]

Weird

[fathom knoll]

MIT's 25h percentile for math is 790 👍 👍 👍

[hollow sedge]

Just use act

[spiral tiger]

honestly dont worry about it dawg

its literally in a week

[fathom knoll]

mine act is even worse

[spiral tiger]

you can do nothing

[hollow sedge]

Easier to get "perfect section score" but yeah read the article "what's the big deal with 40²"

[fathom knoll]

33 composite with a 29 reading or sumn

[fathom wasp]

Lmaoooo

[pliant hemlock]

Bad timing?

[fathom knoll]

if humans were capable of not worrying over things they have no control over:

[fathom wasp]

Im screwed

[spiral tiger]

dawg literally

hold on let me post a screenshot

[fathom wasp]

guys I’m 25th percentile trust

[pliant hemlock]

Me with 770 math

[fathom wasp]

if u have other stuff good ur still competitive probably

770 is amazing

[hollow sedge]

I have 36 math and will get denied
Much more important things to do than worry about scores

[fathom wasp]

mit is just insane

[fathom wasp]

fr fr

[pliant hemlock]

Hopefully Harvard and Stanford lock in😭

[fathom wasp]

eyy samee

[spiral tiger]

so in other words if you wrote about touching grass go touch grass

[fathom wasp]

Alr got rejected from Oxford tho so I’m gonna get rejected lol

[fathom wasp]

Lmao I have actually been doing what I wrote about

(Playing the sims)

[spiral tiger]

to change the topic of conversation, what does everyone like doing just for the fun of it?

in other words what are your hobbies

[fathom knoll]

sorry sir my secondlast final exam is tomorrow cannot relax

AOs

[spiral tiger]

this is probalby more productive than like talking about 770 vs 790 math on some random college discord

[fathom knoll]

[spiral tiger]

i like playing geoguessr a LOT

[pliant hemlock]

gets rejected from MIT next week
Week of dread with no decisions
Ivy and Stanford week

This month is gonna be hell

[spiral tiger]

like you do not understand how much i like geoguessr

[fathom knoll]

coding in python and abusing others about their shit code because im insecure!

[spiral tiger]

i dream about visiting countries in my sleep

[lavish mauve]

is it almost impossible to get in without international olympiad medal?

[fathom knoll]

that I do too!

[pliant hemlock]

Studying for the putnam🤓

[fathom wasp]

I wrote about the sims for that one cause I Alr wrote about art etc in my other ones

[fathom wasp]

And then my other ucs day after too

[spiral tiger]

uhhh

let's do some statistics dawg

how many people are enrolled in MIT's class of 2027?

[pliant hemlock]

About 1500 id guess

[spiral tiger]

let's estimate around 1,000

to be conservative

[lavish mauve]

but a 100 international

[pliant hemlock]

Spent too much time on their common data sets

[spiral tiger]

let's look at how many people got an international olympiad medal

[pliant hemlock]

Internationals who do big things for their communities often get in

[hollow sedge]

My #1 incentive to travel is to eat new food at restaurants

[lavish mauve]

we'll know next week

[pliant hemlock]

[spiral tiger]

honestly literally just dont worry about it

💀

[atomic bough]

Who pinged me

[lavish mauve]

i think they'll stright up deny me. although i got interview

[spiral tiger]

mit decision date officially came out

[pliant hemlock]

Yup

[atomic bough]

Is it not always on pi day lol

[tender sail]

I didn't get an interview I'm fucked 😭

[spiral tiger]

i believe interviews are assigned based on alumni availability (although i may be wrong) so getting one isnt correlated with what the admissions office thought of your application at that time

[lavish mauve]

you think so?

[atomic bough]

That’s not how it works

[pliant hemlock]

I think I'ma be rejected

Is what I'm saying

[spiral tiger]

so if you didn't get an interview, it doesn't mean you're cooked

[quick hawk]

Gl bill !

[spiral tiger]

thank you bertha!

[hollow sedge]

[spiral tiger]

i'm not honestly expecting much, but if i get in i guess it'll be nice

[tender sail]

My bad bro
Just the anxiety talking

[lavish mauve]

i heard MIT and any other big school do interview for international students only if required, like they are ready to process the application to next step.

[hollow sedge]

mit is not real

it never existed

[atomic bough]

Goodluck everyone and lmk if u get in 😁

[lavish mauve]

so, some people get the interview, so don't. i know students from my school who didn't get interview despite doing EA

[quick hawk]

Gl other bill !

[hollow sedge]

thanks

[spiral tiger]

its mainly based on availability of alumni in your area i think

according to my mit interviewer at least

[atomic bough]

Thank god u have Harvard in ur name

[lavish mauve]

in US, yes, not for intl.

[spiral tiger]

so maybe there weren't enough alumni in your area to interview everyone

dude if you're trying to reverse cope do that somewhere else 💀

[pliant hemlock]

Manifesting

[fathom wasp]

It is availability based

[tender sail]

I'm rooting for you man

[pliant hemlock]

Thankyou shan

[spiral tiger]

good luck to everyone who applied!

and if you didn't get in, a rejection is more of a redirection than anything else.

[lavish mauve]

nooo. i'm not coping or anything. like in previous years people who got harvard interviews only got in. if no interview then straight rejection, i didn't get harvard interview.

[fathom wasp]

[warped sable]

hey guys turns out my parents haven't submitted our 2022 w2 forms

[pliant hemlock]

Yuh

[spiral tiger]

i dont think bit flips occur as often

on the earth

[lavish mauve]

and it is the same for every big schools. first there is no alumni, second, they WILL do interview if you are competent. my friends had virtual interview from alumni of different country, so, it beats the availability criteria.

[warped sable]

is it over??

[spiral tiger]

because by the time the particles reach the earth they become muons

[solid comet]

TIM has become college decisions, the destroyer of hopes

[spiral tiger]

sometimes alumni arent available in general

[lavish mauve]

yeah i know. i was just mentioning the fact about interview for intl students.

[spiral tiger]

my stanford interviewer was frmo singapore

[tender sail]

The council of Tims will decide our fate

[spiral tiger]

i dont really understand what you're trying to say here

you want to say you're rejected and then want to say you got in at the same time

[hollow sedge]

They're still frequent enough to warrant checksums everywhere

[lavish mauve]

in simple terms, as international student, you only get interview if you're competitive.

[spiral tiger]

no im not talking about that

[warped sable]

or does it not show up for everyone?

[spiral tiger]

im talking about your entire approach to this conversation in general

[spiral tiger]

they removed the checklist

[warped sable]

on my financial aid page though

"Not recieved " (alongside fafsa)

[fierce gust]

[lavish mauve]

well that was my point. my apologies if it sounded like anything else.

[fathom wasp]

Fafsa doesn’t show up for everyone

[fierce gust]

Oh so it’s like the environmental building

[warped sable]

yes ik, im talking about my w2 tax forms... ?

[fierce gust]

It’s like a mini skyscraper

It looks so hideous yet appealing

[warped sable]

not sure, parents claimed they submitted it

[fathom wasp]

Oh idk I’ll look

[fierce gust]

Something about it just draws you in

[lavish mauve]

i have tax forms as incomplete,but it doesn't show up in IDOC

[fathom wasp]

Mine shows as received

And I submitted through Idoc

So idk

[warped sable]

oh god ok

i hope its not over...

[wise yacht]

💀💀damn am i cooked with 760

[fierce gust]

Do you live in the Bay Area

[fathom knoll]

we're all cooked da

[wise yacht]

[fierce gust]

Hm

We will have to wait

[warped sable]

[fathom knoll]

[spiral tiger]

[fathom knoll]

here are some things that could possibly save you

• daddy donated a building
• won an olympiad

[wise yacht]

[spiral tiger]

i want to make a very strong suggestion here: don't discuss the status of your application. you've already submitted it and the only thing worrying about it is going to do for you is give you a couple of grey hairs

[pliant hemlock]

750 plus no need to go nuts

[fathom knoll]

sorry no mit for you :(((

[spiral tiger]

we dont need any of this reverse copium here

[wise yacht]

oww mahn😔

[fathom knoll]

well white to grey is definitely moving in the right direction!!!

[spiral tiger]

actually do you guys want a puzzle

[pliant hemlock]

Does the winner get an instant acceptance to MIT?

[fathom knoll]

why not

[fierce gust]

I found a new number the other day and got accepted into caltech

So probably

[pliant hemlock]

Deadass?

[fierce gust]

Yeah

It’s called Frive

[fierce gust]

My friend applied with a 590 math score

how fucked is he

[fierce gust]

even if he gets in - he'd be p fucked

mit is the tech school

[rare tartan]

his bank declined 80$

[fierce gust]

He wants to be a scientist

depends on his situation tbh

He lives in the Bay Area

[warm lava]

bc i feel like MIT is the most competitive school in real terms, since they have their own portal (which might dissuade a lot of prospective YOLO applicants vs schools on the commonapp) and just the general vibe I get from the school vs others

[fierce gust]

but under normal circumstances i kinda doubt a 590 would cut it

and he’s Asian

do you guys still think he has a chance

[fierce gust]

💀 💀 💀

His income is like 300k

And he has no discernible hooks

Both his parents graduated from the local college

[fierce gust]

tbh itd take a miracle to get into mit w/ a 590 where everyone in the school has a close to perfect math score

the 25th percentile is a 790

meaning 3/4s of the school scored higher than that

Hopefully they look past his flaws

And admit him

hopefully 🙏

He wrote his essays on how he hates Harvard

Do you think that’ll help

[fierce gust]

no

sadly

what do I tell him

he really wants to be a scientist

he also has multiple criminal and school disciplinary charges

u dont have to go to mit to be a scientest 😭

[fierce gust]

that's so based of bro

[fierce gust]

this has been his dream school since he was a small boy

he has a few crimes against humanity charges from the ICC

[fierce gust]

zamn 😻

hopefully they’ll just blow that over tho

no biggie, right?

[fierce gust]

should be no biggie

Yeah he’s honestly an auto admit

⬆️

i change my mind

because his grandpa went to mit

590 sat is an auto admit

[fierce gust]

mit legacy goes crazy

and his dad is dating an MIT ao atm

I’m at his house rn

[fierce gust]

tell daddy to let me in

I can even pass the phone to his dads boyfriend

hi

hello AO

I am mit admissions officer

[fierce gust]

a ton of t20 schools do applications separate from common app

mit

[fierce gust]

yes you are big man

Our committees have determined you’re admitted @fierce gust

for communications

[fierce gust]

🤩

[fierce gust]

thx pookie bear

👏

let me pass the phone back to neetro

Ok I’m back

[warm lava]

which?

[river sky]

its just MIT and UCs?

[warm lava]

maybe for LACs but not for T20s AFAIK

[river sky]

UC applications actually make hella sense ngl

[fierce gust]

and gregtown

[river sky]

is gtown a t20 💀

[fierce gust]

no

[river sky]

im not sure

[fierce gust]

idfk

I can name all the T20’s

it seems like it could be one

[river sky]

hm yea i suppose

[fierce gust]

chatgpt go hard

[river sky]

but im biased bc gtown isnt stem focused

[fierce gust]

gtown rea is wild

[warm lava]

they might have their own, but for clarification I meant solely their own portal, w/ no commonapp

[fierce gust]

i think gtech and all of the ucs

yh thats what i mean

Princeton, Stanford, MIT, Harvard, UPenn, Brown, Columbia, Yale, Brown, Cornell, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, UC Berkeley, Caltech, UCLA, John Hopkins, Northwestern, UChicago, Rice, Dartmouth

The most selective is Caltech

The least selective is UC Berkeley

[warm lava]

georgia tech is on commonapp and I mean yeaa i guess UCs, but that’s for multiples UCs + most of their students are from California anyways, where that’s pretty standard alongside commonapp

[river sky]

ngl i personally disagree with vandy/nd

duke should be up there

[fierce gust]

How tf did I forget Duke

Also Duke

[hollow sedge]

Who cares about t20 this t20 that

[river sky]

but its pointless to argue rankings ofc

[hollow sedge]

silly a2c users

[fierce gust]

Duke is a t20

[river sky]

its fun

[fierce gust]

I’m just showing what US news shows

can intls get in w/out an interview?

[worthy lion]

there are only 120 intls that do get in so you have very few datapoints to verify

[obtuse heron]

Damn only 120 a year

I’m so cooked holy

[fathom knoll]

yes

most intls dont end up getting interviews

[brittle glacier]

i think you might need one (at least that’s how it is where i am)

[wise yacht]

oh damn ok

[supple creek]

oh shit

[obtuse heron]

Yeah I didn’t either 😔

[indigo sparrow]

hoping I'm one of the lucky 120

[obtuse heron]

How many of the 120 are prolly already filled in the EA?

Probably quite a few 😬

[dawn prairie]

i think like 10?

or 8

idk

i know india got one IOI gold and one IPhO gold in MIT ea

so 2 from india

another one from taiwan (if i remember correclty )in this server

so 3

and then for sure another 3-4 gold medalists we dont know

• 1-2 others

what is bro writing

[dull bramble]

Dude I want to write a thank you note to petey ("Make" 2hr video dude and also articles dude (I read so many 💀)) cuz he genuinely made the application season much less stressful for me 😭

Is that a big Nono though, he might be busy... 😭

[dawn prairie]

😮

interesting

u can try but for sure he is busy this time of the year

[tardy pulsar]

Definitely more

[dawn prairie]

def not more than 20 i think

I don’t think it’s a no no but I wouldn’t necessarily expect a response since it’s not a question or anything

olympiad medal = MIT

sometimes I regret not going to IChO

[placid flower]

I have none 🤡

idek why i applied

[lavish mauve]

got an interview?

[placid flower]

Nah intl

[lavish mauve]

intl don't get interviews?

[placid flower]

Unless their regions have MIT alumni I think

[unique vortex]

are MIT interviews fully availability based

[lavish mauve]

i heard interviews for intl are somewhat selective as well.

like if 1 alumni can cover only 1 student and there are 4 students at the same region, then the most competitive students gets the interview i think. i might be wrong though
