[small gust]

researching ucla/berk because EITHER i get into northwestern but i wont be able to afford either way so i must cope with that by telling myself west coast best coast OR i get rejected and i need to romanticize schools i've gotten into lol

[long knot]

all schools should release 7pm EST imo

[small gust]

all schools should release 10 am est

[long knot]

im not tryna open up my decisions before 0 period 💀

[short citrus]

guys i'm scared and don't want to open my decision alone but i'm also scared of people watching me get rejected

[long knot]

id rather open it alone

[short citrus]

valid

[glacial sapphire]

this i agree with

[small gust]

LMFAO YOU PUT YOUR DECISIONS IN YOUR PRONOUNS

anyways

since you already have some great results (cmu and bu) i'd say open with people for the experience

but if you're really worried just open it alone yeah

[short citrus]

i didnt have room 💀

[short citrus]

true true

i opened umich with my friends and it was the best feeling ever

[small gust]

thats cute

i was going to open uc davis with a friend

[short citrus]

i screamed and people looked at me like i was delulu and then i screamed the umich part and then it was so sweet

[small gust]

but 1) they have no status update like its right as soon as you open the portal

2. my friend forgot his login details so i was already logged in and i saw i'd gotten in and he was hunting his emails lmfao

we both got in but like. failed video.

[short citrus]

awwww i opened it during a choir rehearsal break, briefly squealed "i got into davis", and moved on lol

coincidentally umich and nu both also come out during choir

[small gust]

damn

[humble pond]

i opened my davis result like, while i was at the gym and i was just like "what the-"

[short citrus]

choir has been good luck so far i hope third time's still the charm

[small gust]

you got this viola

[short citrus]

thank you!!

[humble pond]

trust!!!!!

[short citrus]

i also opened my nu deferral with my classmates right after the math final LMAO

[humble pond]

honestly all of my uc decision openings have been kinda silly

like my ucsb letter i opened in math office hours

while i was dying to maclaurin series

[verbal stag]

lowkey tryna sleep through this NU rejection

[humble pond]

when is it coming out?

[verbal stag]

4pm est was thrown around iirc

[verbal stag]

[humble pond]

[humble pond]

HELLO WHAT

THAT'S CRAZY

i'm honestly very impressed

[short citrus]

i do that on breaks

[verbal stag]

nah i went to bed at 4am

and its spring break

let me live

[short citrus]

although i've been jolting awake instinctively (no alarms) for decisions idk why

i woke up unintentionally for cmu and it was the biggest ripoff

[verbal stag]

i remember jolting awake 1 minute before cwru released

i was like "are you fucking kidding me"

[small gust]

BRO OMFG

I WOKE UP RANDOMLY AT 4 AM TODAY FROM A DREAM THAT GEORGETOWN RELEASED WHEN THEY WERE GONNA DROP DECISIONS

[short citrus]

because i was overseas for a bit

[small gust]

i didnt check my phone or anything just used the bathroom and went back to sleep

and then when i wake up

[short citrus]

(i'm currently in the states so decisions happen at a normal time)

[small gust]

i have an email from gtown at 3:30 am about their deicison time

i literally felt it in my bones

this shit crazy

[short citrus]

i woke up at about 2:45am for smith and was planning on filming a decision reaction and i was so tired it was just a very soft "yaaaay"

[small gust]

lolll

[short citrus]

CHAT IM SCAAAAAARED

judgment day in 30 minutes

[solar mural]

Best of luck to everyone tmr! I'm definitely not getting in but I hope all of you guys can

[small gust]

YOOOOOOO W

[acoustic osprey]

so many acceptances as an international is a W for you!

[small gust]

us citizen

so technically not full intl

[acoustic osprey]

which pool do they consider you in?

[small gust]

uh

oos for public unis

domestic for privates

but that's for financial purposes

for admissions it's the international pool

[acoustic osprey]

so complex

[small gust]

because like im in cbse so obviously they can't compare me with US kids who do APs and have a bunch of ecs in their schools and stuff

[dense orbit]

can confirm

it's a hot mess

[small gust]

yeah it's confusing but i just roll with it

[dense orbit]

as an overseas citizen

[small gust]

it's been good to me so far

[acoustic osprey]

ohh damn mad respect getting in with CBSE!

[small gust]

thanks😭

[acoustic osprey]

i though IB would help me but its not honestly

[small gust]

ah

[dense orbit]

i am in IB too

i actually never took CBSE

[acoustic osprey]

self studied for calc bc and got a 5 but thats not helping too

[small gust]

damn

[small gust]

i love ib English sm

[acoustic osprey]

paper 2 and io 😢

[small gust]

my friend does it and I'm so jealous

english<33333

[dense orbit]

the course content is great, the grading... not so much

[small gust]

cbse English is ass

it's literally just memorization

[dense orbit]

you could write a shakespeare answer for paper 2 and somehow end up with a 4/7

[small gust]

Shakespeare answers are ass

[acoustic osprey]

what books u guys doing for p2?

[dense orbit]

we had persepolis, 1984, handmaid's tale and crucible

[acoustic osprey]

damn

[dense orbit]

HL had short stories from anton chekov and frankenstein (additional to the required 4)

[acoustic osprey]

u sl right?

[dense orbit]

yes, thankfully

💀

[acoustic osprey]

for me, getting a 7 in eng A sl is harder than Math AA HL

[dense orbit]

i feel you

i got my first overall 7 in english in december

[acoustic osprey]

sammeee

[dense orbit]

i got 41/42 in term 1, 41/42 in term 2 (english was the 6 in both terms) and then finally 42 in term 3

[acoustic osprey]

rest all 6

[acoustic osprey]

[dense orbit]

[acoustic osprey]

our school's grade boundaries are waaayyy higher than IB so a 39 for me max

[acoustic osprey]

yes

[dense orbit]

oh awesome

[dense orbit]

oh dam, our school also sets +5% on the ib grade boundaries

[acoustic osprey]

i dont know for what joy

ateleast colleges should be made aware of this so that they evaluabte us accordingly

[dense orbit]

i mentioned it in the additional info section

[acoustic osprey]

shoot that's smart

i elaborated on my ECs which i'm sure AOs are never gonna read

[dense orbit]

but since i had also taken the myp 5 eAssessments which was standardized and graded by the IB, i think the AOs had a benchmark to compare my internal school results with external exam performance

[acoustic osprey]

what was your myp

[dense orbit]

54/56

[acoustic osprey]

damn

i got a 52

math extended?

[dense orbit]

[acoustic osprey]

no one got a 7 in PP from our school.

[dense orbit]

only 2 from our school

[acoustic osprey]

they didn't teach us the full math syllabus only

for extended

[dense orbit]

oh 💀

[acoustic osprey]

yeah

myp was terrible

[dense orbit]

have you committed to gatech?

or waiting for a couple of RDs tomorrow and day after?

[acoustic osprey]

waiing for like 8 schools

ik all out of my league

so have made up my mind for ga tech

in good spirit

[dense orbit]

gatech is great, esp for engineering

i got deferred and then waitlisted lol

[acoustic osprey]

yupp

[dense orbit]

but i wasn't too keen on gatech anyway

since i am an applied math major

[acoustic osprey]

yield protected probably

[small gust]

FRANKENSTEINNNNNN

love that book sm

[acoustic osprey]

what other decisions u waiting for?

[dense orbit]

i have like 11 decisions left xD

[acoustic osprey]

u plan on doing applied math or change to engineering or smth?

[dense orbit]

nyu, duke, uc berkeley, harvard, yale, princeton, columbia, princeton, upenn, umich

[dense orbit]

applied math only

[normal granite]

real

[acoustic osprey]

oh wait dittoo

[dense orbit]

ucla has a specialization in computing for applied math so that is g for tech jobs in cali but i will most likely pursue a PhD straight

[acoustic osprey]

stanford too

[dense orbit]

i got rej'd in REA

[small gust]

omfg gl💀

ucla better but still

[dense orbit]

yeah 💀

[acoustic osprey]

wait so you're allowd to apply ea to ga tech while applying rea to stanford?

[dense orbit]

yeah

because gatech is public

[small gust]

You can ea publics

[verbal stag]

If NU rejects me (basically a done deal) I get my 10th rejection, meaning I end this cycle with more rejections than acceptances

[dense orbit]

but tbh i shd hv done Cornell ED

[verbal stag]

You can EA UMich, right?

[dense orbit]

it's alright though, UCLA is like 3rd in applied math, that's awesome for me

[small gust]

Yeah

[dense orbit]

yes

[verbal stag]

figured

[small gust]

Who cares UCSD on top

same ish

like idk if you'd call them middle outcomes

[dense orbit]

my rejections so far have been caltech and stanford

[verbal stag]

real as shit but a depressing realization nevertheless

If NU, NYU, and Howard reject me I have managed to not get a single private

Isn’t horrible cause of the UCs as a fallback but still not good

[glad fossil]

mit waitlist is very impressive

[small gust]

Actually I'll refrain from saying this

[small gust]

Too expensive anyway

All my top choices rn are publics lol

Berk UCLA udub Purdue uiuc uw-m

[verbal stag]

I think I’m just a public uni conqueror if I get Berk and no privates

[dense orbit]

yeah but it's a soft rejection so i am not very hopeful

[verbal stag]

But my decisions have been and will be wack

[small gust]

validdddd

[dense orbit]

i declined waitlists everywhere else though

[verbal stag]

We shall see tho

So far signs look good for Berk cause of the LoR nod

[small gust]

2 days 🤞

[verbal stag]

I shall now sleep so I can sleep through the NU decision

[verbal stag]

2 days

[dense orbit]

i got pretty lucky with my NU interviewer

or maybe they made it that way

[small gust]

bruh i didn't get an interviewer

[dense orbit]

it's based on availability

it's not competitive so idt it shd matter

[small gust]

i know

but im sad

i slayed my stanford interview

and it was my only one

[dense orbit]

i am more sad that i didn't get a harvard or a yale interview

so i am already considering them

as

guaranteed rejections

[small gust]

oh

rip

[dense orbit]

can't get greedy though, i am grateful for what i have so all's good, we ball

[glad fossil]

you're right

also it isn't over until it's over

you still have a chance at harvard or yale

you'll know tomorrow!

[dense orbit]

true

[kind topaz]

What time does it come out

[glad fossil]

we predict 3pm CT / 4pm ET

[kind topaz]

Ah ok

[small gust]

NW is better anyways ‼️

[small gust]

all safeties so im hoping for smt good 💀

[small gust]

yoooooooo those are great schools

I fw bu UCI udub and uw-m big time

[visual folio]

I'll be completely real

I forgot I applied to NW

my spreadsheet did NOT include NW bc I applied 7 hours before the deadline 😭

but you know, the best things are always the most unexpected

[small gust]

💀💀💀💀💀

[wet belfry]

Bro how are uci and bu safeties

[visual folio]

I'm a boston hater through and through, gotta be real here

[wet belfry]

Thanks for answering my question

[visual folio]

answering the question, it's because of my scholarship

[pastel berry]

Why tho

Like Boston the city or BU

[visual folio]

so many of my peers were accepted to BU and UCI, so its basically a safety when it comes to scholarship seats

[visual folio]

the city 🙏

[low raptor]

!northwestern

[wet belfry]

Alright so why didnt u just say that instead of saying this useless information that i didnt ask for nor want to see

[pastel berry]

Wait how does this work 😭
Can you explain what "scholarship seats" are

[visual folio]

my bad sorry!!

[wet belfry]

Its ok dw

Manifesting northwestern

[pastel berry]

Man's typing a 750W essay 🔥🔥

[wet belfry]

Ong bro cannot type any slower💀

[visual folio]

I just woke up man cut me some slack 😭

As a GCC national I qualify for a bunch of government scholarships that offer full-rides to universities. Most of these scholarships only ask you to receive an acceptance from a university and nothing else, so there are limited slots. So basically although I've been accepted to great universities I still have to compete with 100 people for like 50 slots

[wet belfry]

What r ur 5 rejections

[visual folio]

Rice (💔), GT, UCLA, UIUC, and USC

[vale lynx]

hi guys what time do we expect northwestern?

[pastel berry]

4 PM CDT

Or EDT?

[wet belfry]

I also got rejected from rice lol but its fine cause they only rejected me bc they knew im goin to northwestern

[visual folio]

real

[wet belfry]

Cant wait for my acceptance to drop

[visual folio]

I cant wait to vote 1 on that poll today

[pastel berry]

What happens when you open an NU acceptance letter

[visual folio]

🙏🙏

[pastel berry]

Like is there purple confetti

[wet belfry]

No

But the first word is congratulations

[pastel berry]

I see

[vale lynx]

does anyone know if its ct or et? i need to stay up accordingly🥲

[pastel berry]

Me asking for confetti despite being on my way to getting rejected:

[visual folio]

Just saving this here for later: https://ugadmission.northwestern.edu/apply/status?

[vale lynx]

ah okay cool thanks

[visual folio]

pretty sure it's at <t:1711569600:f>

[boreal portal]

do i stay up or see it in the morning?

[pastel berry]

See it in the morning

Staying up is more anxious

Much easier to go to sleep thinking "when I wake up tomorrow I'll have NU out"

[analog thunder]

nice to see this channel is finally active lmao

[wet plank]

what is this witchcraft

i shant have you burned you foul witch what is it that you do and how shant you know my timezone

[visual folio]

unix 🙏

[visual folio]

NOOOOOO

[wet plank]

why is northwestern named northwestern if its northeastern

something to think about

[glad fossil]

northwestern was founded in 1851

in 1851, northwestern would have been in the northwest!

[wet belfry]

Unintelligent ahh question

Bro is NOT getting into nu

[shut nova]

nah its a goofy ahhh name

imagine it's named after the founding father John Northwestern

thatd be cool asf

[lucid ocean]

yeah uw madison rejected me so the logic train guides me to one place

[frail fulcrum]

right :/ sometimes its good to just step away and take a break ik that happens to me a lot when i study so literally just drinking water and walking around my room without thinking really helps me refresh and see the problem/struggle from a new perspective, so maybe try something like that?

take it easy on yourself today, become neutral in your thinking

[wooden swan]

yeah no i did, haha its definitely better now but i FEEL the pressure

and this is when im doing my absolute best not to let it get to me
