[prime basin]

guys a guy got into his first choice program and campus for nyu ed2 (stern) and is not applying for financial aid since his family makes way more than enough to afford the skl. however, he did not withdraw any of his other applications and got into uw today. is this allowed?

[brittle frigate]

no?

[prime basin]

damn bro then that is actually crazy

[digital plaza]

i dont think theres anything legal attached to ED stuff/whether u withdrawal apps...

its just unethical

[brittle frigate]

it's unprofessional and unethical

good luck u guys

feel free to reach out if any questions

[orchid crystal]

thank you!

[thorn nova]

Am I cooked if I didn’t write the supp

Applying for tandon cs

[blissful patrol]

ideally you should've bc it shows interest

especially important w/ RD

but don't worry abt it not much u can do now

[thorn nova]

in other words im cooked

[blissful patrol]

i mean i wouldn't wanna destroy ur hope but like

yeah realistically

ur prolly gonna get waitlisted

[thorn nova]

its whatever

[burnt nacelle]

u shouldve written it its a very easy way they out candidates lmao at least you wont be hurt by writing a bad supp tho

[thorn nova]

thats what i thought

im terrible at writing so i didnt wanna do the supp and hurt myself

[burnt nacelle]

i applied to 31 colleges and i made sure to write all of the optional supps

[burnt nacelle]

the college process is mostly writing tho so id advise you to get good at it

u acn make anything look good if u write good

[thorn nova]

i mean its over now

im quite content with my results

[opaque glacier]

the greatest thing i learned during this process is that no essay is truly optional

unless it quite literally does not apply to you (like change in progression stuff)

[burnt nacelle]

ok u will start college in a few months tho no? all ur academic life ur gonna get haunted by the fact that ur shit at writing if u dont fix the problem

[blissful patrol]

yep

[thorn nova]

i dont really need writing for my major

and im done with all my english classes

[opaque glacier]

you do need writing for your major lol

[blissful patrol]

except like identity or diversity supps

[jovial lion]

If I put nyu ny as my second choice is there more of a chance of being WL'ed

[thorn nova]

for what

[blissful patrol]

yeah

[opaque glacier]

especially w the gen eds at a school like nyu

[jovial lion]

im so annoyed i wish i changed nyuad to second choice i hate them sm

[burnt nacelle]

u need wriitng for all majors so dont fret away from it

[thorn nova]

i alr have gen eds done

[blissful patrol]

NYU NY as second choice you're not getting in RD sorry

[jovial lion]

L nyuad

[jovial lion]

ughh 100%?

[blissful patrol]

but i mean if you got rejetced from AD

[jovial lion]

thats sad

[jovial lion]

yes im rejected i know

[blissful patrol]

probably a possibility they could consider you more for NY

i mean idk

[jovial lion]

i wasnt accepted to the dumb CW or whatever it si

[blissful patrol]

can't rlly say cuz i havent seen this specific situation

[opaque glacier]

you’re still gonna have to write papers

[blissful patrol]

but realistically WL yeah

[opaque glacier]

you have to do lab reports

[thorn nova]

lab reports for what😭

[opaque glacier]

i presume you’re in stem since you claim you won’t need writing

if you ever do research you need some pretty strong writing chops

[blissful patrol]

no stern needs a lot

of writing

lmao

we have like 6 writing courses as part of our core

[opaque glacier]

ik it does lol

[blissful patrol]

oh

fuck

[opaque glacier]

but i’ve noticed that people who say they don’t need writing are prospective stem majors

[blissful patrol]

i read stem as stern

mb

so stupid

[opaque glacier]

you’re good lol

[blissful patrol]

i see stern all around me atp

living in a bubble fr

[opaque glacier]

the liberal arts have hijacked your brain😵‍💫

[fallow talon]

is CAS a pretty good acceptance

[thorn nova]

isnt it like 4%?

[rotund cedar]

cas is among the lower acceptance rate schools

[desert shard]

I'm so glad NYU doesn't come out during school hours lmao

Every other school but one other came out during the school day for me

[rotund cedar]

well for west coast peeps nyu will prob come out during school lol

[desert shard]

Gl yall

Like 3 kids from my school got in ED

[jovial lion]

i defo got rejected from nyuad and since nyu ny was my second choice one ill probably get rejected from there too 😭

[mystic delta]

most of mine come out at like 7pm 😭

[jovial lion]

mine always come out at like 3 am

[desert shard]

One of mine came out at lunchtime

And I just like to rip the band-aid off

I can't wait till I get home

[pastel creek]

Same

[fallow talon]

bruhhhh

NYU isnt even like an ivy but everyone just wants to come to NY

like I actually wanna go

[thorn nova]

i switched from cas to tandon for this reason

[fallow talon]

tandon is easier than cas??

[thorn nova]

i assumed a college of arts and sciences would have a higher acceptance rate than a school for engineering

[thorn nova]

apparently so

[fallow talon]

bro no way-

HELPPP

its my dream school.........

[mystic delta]

i mean thats what nyu advertises itself as lmaoo

but thats also why i didnt apply cuz i am not paying that much to commute

[fallow talon]

😭

ohh youre a local?

[mystic delta]

yeah

i wanna leave nyc for college anyways

[fallow talon]

ahh i see

[grizzled summit]

hate to say this but every single nyu accepted student i’ve talked to has written the supp

[thorn nova]

I mean I found that there are people who’s to into nyu without the sup

Specifically into cas

But it’s whatever

[grizzled summit]

those are very few and far between ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[thorn nova]

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Maybe I get lucky

[desert lagoon]

not writing it is demonstrated disinterest

[grizzled summit]

in the accepted students server we joke about the essay being “optional”

[grizzled summit]

possibly, i wouldn’t lose all hope yet

[thorn nova]

I think I got a good app

Course rigor, ecs

[grizzled summit]

RD is very competitive though

[thorn nova]

Colllege admissions are random tbh

[grizzled summit]

it’s a warzone out there 👀

[thorn nova]

You just gotta get lucky that someone likes you

[grizzled summit]

yeah

[opaque hollow]

actually

ik someone who went to the abu dhabi candidate weekend without it

[grizzled summit]

i made a poll once and the ratio of admitted students who completed the essay vs those who didn’t was 119 to 1

so take that information as you will

[devout summit]

HELP

[opaque hollow]

well idk they went this year

like last week (?) so maybe it has changed

actually maybe ur right considering the context

[clear zenith]

IT WAS OPTIONAL?

🧍‍♀️

[grizzled summit]

college admissions tip #1: never trust a college when they say something is “optional”

[clear zenith]

well yea i did it

i didnt know it was optional

even if i did know i still wouldve done it

but like dang

[grizzled summit]

good that you didn’t fall into that trap then

[clear zenith]

yea lmaooo

[grizzled summit]

i saw their article about it being optional and i was like “yea this is bs 😭”

[clear zenith]

thats funny

the quote thing was kind of weird

mine was really personal but i dont think it stands out tbh

[grizzled summit]

as long as you reflect the school’s values well then you should be good

but then again, admissions is very random

[bold falcon]

are there any schools that are like “less competitive” or is it just competitive all around

[grizzled summit]

i’d say in order of most competitive to least competitive, it goes like this:

Stern -> CAS -> Tisch -> Tandon -> Steinhardt -> Gallatin -> Liberal Studies Core

note that nyu mainly accepts by school, not by major, however they look to see that you have some sort of experience or reason as to why you are choosing your major ofc

[bold falcon]

aww great thanks!!

np :)

if you have any other questions DM me, id be happy to help in any way i can

[desert shard]

This list scares me

I wish Tisch was easier to get into

[thorn ember]

tisch is like requiring much focus and foundation in your indicated field

[pure ridge]

Yes and with main campus

Nyu is one of the schools that take basically any gpa in if your ecs/essays are good and if u fit in well

[desert shard]

Im worried about if my ex's are enough to display that lol

[odd isle]

Me when I spread baseless claims

[thorn ember]

are we getting personal now lol

[pure ridge]

No like even kids with 3.0 or 2.5 gps are acceptant regularly if they have stand out ecs

So one C will never break your admission for nyu

Compared to other top business schools they put less emphasis on grades

[desert shard]

Ecs* 😂

[blissful patrol]

Lmao this is crazy bullshit

NYU arguably cares the most

About gpa

It’s the primary filter for such a big school

[warped laurel]

i guarantee u no stern kid came in with a 2.5 gpa lmao

and 3.0 is basically impossible too

[blissful patrol]

Forget stern

I’m talking abt majority of cas too

And Tandon as well

[warped laurel]

yeah those too

I need to know realistically what are my odds of getting into NYU I can’t wait until the 28th 😭

[vocal plume]

low, non-zero

[solemn venture]

what's ur stats and ecs

[opaque glacier]

pssst

no chance-mes

[solemn venture]

ur applying to cas?

[tribal merlin]

my major is biochem so it’s the school of arts and sciences

[opaque glacier]

#📜-rules message

you’re gonna get warned lol

[solemn venture]

cuz it's not specifically just bio stuff it also has other stuff so ur well rounded

#📜-rules please be respectful to your fellow discord members. thanks in advance

[tribal merlin]

i just wanted a second opinion even if it’s not credible. other people in this thread were asking how likely they were to get in without a supplemental so i didn’t see a problem with asking.

[opaque glacier]

look under prohibited content babes

chance-mes is the first thing there

[wise monolith]

my man

you cant get chance mes here

[jovial lion]

you have a good app dw

[wise monolith]

just wait the week

[jovial lion]

leave it up to the admission counselor gods

fr

yeah its okay

[tribal merlin]

i just want to know if previously getting accepted to a program would influence my acceptance

[jovial lion]

also ab that yeah i think it would count under demonstrated interest but

[wise monolith]

they have a point though

we know just as much as you only

[jovial lion]

i dont think it would have that much of an affect

[wise monolith]

if not less

[tribal merlin]

i am well aware of that

[jovial lion]

guys its not that deep

move on

[wise monolith]

https://tenor.com/view/liars-be-like-no-cap-gif-26525391

[jovial lion]

we aren't in some court room

if you wanna be the judge jury and executioner just go on reddit

[tribal merlin]

Again, I am new to this server and I wasn’t aware. Y’all acting like I attacked someone calm down 😭

[jovial lion]

[tribal merlin]

And personally because I want to go there I am biased to think it would help

[wise monolith]

best of luck anyway

[tribal merlin]

I’ve been waitlisted to every other school in the same range of NYU so i’m getting worried about it that’s all

[wise monolith]

as a fellow pre-med applicant

your application looks really really good

way better than anything im putting down for sure

[tribal merlin]

I appreciate that

i think maybe being a NY resident will help

[opaque glacier]

nyu doesn’t consider state residency

[tribal merlin]

it would just be cheaper for me because i’m from new york i mean

[burnt nacelle]

no sat? ur cooked 😭

wait are you domestic

holy shit ur domestic

nvm bro ur good

[tribal merlin]

yeah

[burnt nacelle]

im an intl asking for aid so not taking the sat is not an option

[tribal merlin]

63% of enrolled NYU students didn’t submit SAT

[burnt nacelle]

right not internationals though?

ur taking the whole stats im talking about internationals

if ur an international student asking for aid, taking the sat or act is REQUIRED

[tribal merlin]

it’s all enrolled students

for last year

[burnt nacelle]

.

[tribal merlin]

oh lol i thought it was a question nvm

[burnt nacelle]

and idk about nyus policies maybe they strictly take internationals not asking for aid lol

[tribal merlin]

i’m from NY and i’ve previously been accepted to NYU program so 🤷‍♀️

good luck to you

[wispy helm]

I got into Stern and your ECs def look better than mine
But I also submitted standardized scores

[wispy helm]

Ditto before I got NYU

[tribal merlin]

did you apply ED or anything like that ?

i got waitlisted to umiami like what 😭

[wispy helm]

I would think not
Maybe shows that you alr had interest in med? I don't know why they'd look down on it

[wispy helm]

ED2

[tribal merlin]

they were suprised i traveled 3 hours for the program when i spoke to them 😭

surprised*

[wispy helm]

Yeah that's hardcore

[tribal merlin]

oh well i didn’t i did regular decision

[wispy helm]

I don't think they expected you to commute

[tribal merlin]

i ran off the amtrack train we fought with an uber driver lmao i went through hell to get there

yes that’s what they said

[wispy helm]

I never did summer programs but I think they expect you to go with housing with the school if you don't live nearby

[tribal merlin]

they didn’t have housing for this specific program it wasn’t an option

[wispy helm]

Ah that sucks

Dunno what they wanted you to do lmao

[tribal merlin]

but i know that they look at your interest and stuff like that so i’m hoping this will make up for my no test scores

[wispy helm]

Yeah def

[tribal merlin]

i’ve been subscribed to their magazine since middle school 😭

[wispy helm]

💀 they have a magazine?

[tribal merlin]

when i went there they told me that they check who follows them on social media and who opens their emails

[wispy helm]

I don't think I really got many emails before I got in

I did go to an open house

And I only made an insta in the last couple months

You def have an insane amount of demonstrated interest not just in NYU but also your field

[tribal merlin]

yeah the program i am in is insane i’ve watched surgeries and births and i’ve rode on ambulances

[orchid crystal]

yep

[orchid crystal]

damn u got stern ed2

crazy

[desert shard]

Does NYU admit by major?

[fleet epoch]

nah by school i think

[desert shard]

Ok hopefully that helps me a bit, the major Im applying to is popular for tisch

[wispy radish]

what😭

[tribal merlin]

yeah it’s like demonstrated interest and shit

so if they like you and want to see how interested you are (obviously to know how likely you are to accept admission) they’ll look at that stuff

[spring thistle]

That’s crazy

I don’t like to follow instagrams until I get in

[tribal merlin]

Yeah when I went on a bunch of campus tours they really try to sell you early decision so I was told similar things by colleges who “really care about demonstrated interest”

[desert shard]

It's not smart for ppl who can't afford coa to apply Ed to any school, especially one like NYU where their fin aid is known for being iffy

So it's either they apply Ed anyway knowing they might not be able to afford it or they apply RD and the school assumes we aren't interested

[burnt nacelle]

no?? ed increases ur chances and if u dont get the fin aid u want u can always back off from the ed agreement

thats how it works

how many people u know can afford 90k a year?

[desert shard]

But that's not what Ed is even intended for or advertised as

A lot of they get loans

[burnt nacelle]

unpredictable + not everyone wants to drown in student loans nowadays.. aid is only given AFTER you apply so u really cant know fs

[burnt nacelle]

respectfully it doesnt matter what its advertised as

[desert shard]

Which is why ppl apply rd

If there wasn't a contract you had to sign everyone would apply ed

Especially since the Ed 2 deadline was like 2 days before the rd one

[wise monolith]

this

[burnt nacelle]

why would i apply rd if i like a school and i want to go given they cover my efc when i can apply ed with better chances ur argument is bs no offense

[desert shard]

Because you're only supposed to apply ED if you can go there for sure

[burnt nacelle]

yeah well if u cant go there u can back off like im telling u twice now lol

[wise monolith]

i mean if you can prove you cant afford it you can be released from the agreement

[desert shard]

Ok but that's not what it says when you're applying ed

[wise monolith]

so if you want to gamble w/ NYU on ED you can

[burnt nacelle]

95% of ppl cant afford 90k per year for college ur not making any sense bro

[desert shard]

The problem is that it's a gamble

Ok but most can with loans

Like plenty of ppl can afford 30k and that plus fin aid plus loans can bring the price down

[burnt nacelle]

no r u dumb this isnt med school its the 21st century and no one wants to graduate with 400k in student loans

[desert shard]

I don't think ppl should be punished for listening to the contractual agreement

I'm not saying they should take out the loans idiot

[burnt nacelle]

and they wont be punished if they truly cant afford it whats ur point?

[desert shard]

My point is you shouldn't be punished for being financially conscious

[burnt nacelle]

???

[desert shard]

Bro if you live your life based on if you'll get punished or not that's a you problem

Don't project that on other ppl

I didn't even ask you anything

Like at that point ED should just be EA

[burnt nacelle]

ok u clearly dont know shit about the college admissions process so stop spreading misinformation lmao whats ur deal

[desert shard]

The literal only difference is the contractual obligation

[burnt nacelle]

no if u can afford it u gotta go thats the point

[desert shard]

What misinformation

I didn't even state any facts I gave an opinion dumbass

[burnt nacelle]

that obligation lifts if u cant pay for it what are you not getting?

[desert shard]

Ok but why would someone who knows they cannot afford it apply Ed knowing they cannot afford it

Why would they attempt to go for that loophole when there's RD with no obligation

[burnt nacelle]

u clearly havent read the contract of ed n ur telling ppl they shouldnt do it if they cant pay for a school thats a whole bunch of cap

[desert shard]

My only point is demonstrated interest shouldn't boil down to if you applied Ed or rd

[burnt nacelle]

because ed increases chances????????

[desert shard]

I didn't tell anyone anything???

What are you on about

[desert shard]

My point is it shouldn't... Can you read??

[burnt nacelle]

because theyre expecting aid? if they cant get the aid theyre hoping for they just dont go its that simple

[desert shard]

I'm literally just stating an opinion

[desert shard]

And we're back to the Gamble

[burnt nacelle]

honestly ppl like u should back off from tellinb people a bunch of crap

[desert shard]

[burnt nacelle]

ok im gonna phrase this as nicely as possible. ur missing a crucial piece of information: you can only back off from an ed agreement if you cant pay for it. so, say you applied ed to a school hoping to get aid and you dont get the aid that u thought u were gonna get and u cant afford it. waht do you do? you back off. ed isnt for only rich people, its for everyone and schools make a promise to pay full demonstrated need and thats on them if they dont. thats the thing ur not getting here, with your logic only rich ppl should ed or they should take out loans worth half a mil? thats crazy i know it seems unfair but when rich ppl have so many advantages why are you fighting poor people for taking their shot? its a gamble, and its a gamble you take.

i thought u were just joking around but ur serious

what in the hell is this argument

[desert shard]

I don't even know

I wasn't trying to argue I was just saying an opinion I have ab college applications and bro took it personally

[lost bramble]

[desert shard]

I get that fin aid can help ppl who can't afford college if they do ED but there more than just tuition and room+board. Like your fin aid will not be disbursed by time you have to pay your enrollment fee for example. Some people can't afford that and will apply rd so they have more time to get that together. So I think it's sad that applying ed is weighed so much compared to rd because sometimes it's not a demonstration of interest, it's the finances.

But anyway, gl everyone applying rd

[lost bramble]

[frosty pivot]

Gl to you too 🫡

[desert shard]

What are y'all applying for

[wise monolith]

i applied for biology cause im trying to do pre-med but now that i have UCSD idk which would be better if i did get NYU

[frosty pivot]

College x vs y chat time

[wise monolith]

nah not unless i get into NYU

[desert shard]

They're both good tbh I'd just go wherever is cheaper or maybe closer to home if that's what you want

[wise monolith]

then the discussion can be had

[frosty pivot]

But also depends on your preferred med school

[wise monolith]

im from LA so SD is closer but i would not at all mind going across the country for school

both seem to be rather expensive, NYU probably more so?

in terms of costs of living

fin aid wise if the NYU promise works out for me then idk maybe NYU could possibly have cheaper COA

depends what they say

[desert shard]

I Mean you'll get money from a uc then

But if I depends on how much NYU gives

[wise monolith]

NYU could possibly give more

i cant write that off

[desert shard]

I got into my top choice but prob can't afford it

So NYU was the only reach school that would maybe give me 100% need met

[wise monolith]

what state school/top choice schools if you dont mind me asking?

[desert shard]

I'm going for a BFA so you might not know them but

Sva NYC is my top choice because their alumnus network is so good

But I've gotten in everywhere I've applied so far I just need FAFSA to come back

[wise monolith]

i have heard of them in passing

but know very little of them

There's some other schools that are high on my list like mica and I got into RISD recently so that's up there as well

Nyus film school is insane tho so hope I get in

[prime yew]

maybe not NYU but other schools 100%

[prime yew]

well if your income and assets fall under a full ride (which you can check with their NPC) then why not??

[opaque glacier]

i mean a fair amount of highly-selective schools have tuition promises for low-income students (the ivies, stanford mit, etc) that make ED possible for low-income applicants. nyu obviously isn’t one of those lol

[fleet epoch]

LMAO this argument 😭

i do agree w anyone being able to ed tho cuz u can break the contract if ur financial need isn’t met

[opaque glacier]

the hard part is being able to prove that they don’t meet your financial need lol

[burnt nacelle]

I'm sure it's not that difficult to prove I'm dirt poor just look at my wallet lmao

[fleet epoch]

oh, i see :(

[burnt nacelle]

Idk why I'm being prosecuted for telling someone who is spreading misinformation off

[desert shard]

I'm not spreading anything I repeated stated that what I SAID was an OPINION

You just have no reading comprehension and like to hear yourself talk

At bo point did I say ppl Shouldn't apply Ed I said it was unfair that applying ed means you have more demonstrated interest when ppl don't apply Ed because of finances

And full aid programs don't help with things like enrollment fees often times. So my point stands.

Ed is still a plausible decision for anybody but the poorer you get the more looming that decision is

And since people clearly cannot understand implied context let me reiterate that I am speaking from personal experiences.

Lmao

I thought u were weird st first but ur really cool ham dude

[pastel creek]

Okay but your operating under a misapprehension there. It’s not very easy to break from an ED agreement from what I can tell. I asked I believe biggreen the college counselor in the other channel and he said while it is possible to break free, the time and legality make it near impossible. Colleges do legitimately expect you to take out loans to pay up the ED payment even when your not fully covered

That’s quite literally what the definition of college loans are and it’s a big business lol the fact it’s the 21st century isn’t gonna make them obsolete

[wise monolith]

thanks

[pastel creek]

That’s also why I didn’t apply ED either

[desert shard]

Don't even argue with him he literally doesn't wanna hear it lmao

[pastel creek]

Doesn’t make a difference to them. If you’ve applied ED then it shows demonstrated interest and they’ll take full advantage of that interest to try to get you to pay even when they know you can’t

[pastel creek]

Not arguing just informing

Since he says he only cares about spreading the correct info to the people I thought I’d share some correct info

[desert shard]

Fair enough

[burnt nacelle]

I never said that it is necessarily easy to break away, only that it's possible and is the only way out of the ED agreement. My argument stands for schools covering full demonstrated need, not those who aren't as this is the NYU thread. Like I said before, some schools, like NYU, are sketchy with financial aid and will have different methods of calculating your EFC. If the aid given is not even close to the amount your family needs, then you can leave the contract as necessary. No one is going to take out 400,000 USD in loans because their ED school did not cover their DEMONSTRATED need.

[burnt nacelle]

College loans are more or less for the middle class rather than the lower class because the lower class can demonstrate more need than the middle class. I'm a lower class student and, hence, my argument stands for lower class students such as myself.

The counseling I work with sends dozens of lower class students to top colleges in the US and they have been able to break away from ED agreements because schools did not meet their demonstrated needs as promised.

I don't know the case for domestic students but this is the case for internationals, I also know you can prefer to study in another country even if you apply ED to a US university.

The ethics of it are questionable but it has happened many many times before.

[pastel creek]

Of course, it is the only one to leave an ED agreement. But as you said before, it’s a “gamble” people are going to have to give if they wish to apply ED, because a lot of the time it’s just simply not easy for people to withdraw from an agreement. The 400K is hyperbole. Most lower income families are only really gonna take out an 40k loan per year max I think. If a college can see you can take out a college loan to attend their university then they’ll give you a hard time if your trying to withdraw.

And frankly most people don’t want to risk their financial stability for the foreseeable future on a “gamble”, in your words

That’s not to say lower income students can’t ED. They can if they want. But it’s definitely something they should take into consideration especially with colleges like NYU as you said

[pastel creek]

If students need to rely on an institution to break from an agreement then that’s kind of the problem lol

Too much time and legality to deal with it

[glacial marsh]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/791581270958145538/1191906249168654367/ouse.gif

[burnt nacelle]

International students can't take loans but can still apply ED. What do you say to that? What do you mean by giving a "hard time" to withdraw?

[pastel creek]

its a contract. colleges arent just going to concede on a student after admitting them for a seat in ED. they dedicated a whole seat to them, and they are gonna try to get them to attend.

biggreen says the same thing; he says not to apply for ED at universities your sure you wont be able to pay for because of this very issue

[burnt nacelle]

Not federal loans like most loans are

[burnt nacelle]

Unless they rescind lol

And they still do rescind

[opaque glacier]

this argument is living evidence that contractually binding 17 y/olds to attend a school is a stupid concept any way you slice it🙇🏻

[burnt nacelle]

common app and scoir swear on their applicant data they don't tell colleges where all you applied

thats no better than a conspiracy theory tbh

and if they did, a system involving 100's of thousands of people it would go public somewhere

[brittle frigate]

they dont know

sadly

[broken crag]

and then the lawsuits would roll in, because, pretty sure common app says it in the t&c they will not tell any college where else you applied or smth similar

it's our moral obligation to withdraw if u get in ED

[broken crag]

yes that is correct

& colleges will generally tell others in their pack/collective

but apart from that, you are mostly safe

the only thing that is certain is that the colleges were sharing names of admitted students under ed

and they had a justice department investigation or smth over it

but yes i got fee waivers from most schools

[broken crag]

damn

[desert lagoon]

How did you get WL at SMU with a. 1600

[broken crag]

true 💀

[broken crag]

low efc + shit essays?

[chilly kraken]

oh intl with low efc

ngl you should've applied full pay and shotgunned full rides

[broken crag]

its not that low tho

[broken crag]

how does that happen

[wise monolith]

UChicago rejection 🤝

[chilly kraken]

intl full pay easier to get in than seeking aid

and i think a lot of t50-t100 unis have full rides? not sure though

like i know usc and bu do full tuition scholarships

so does cwru

[broken crag]

I mean the thing is I knew I couldn't do full pay. and then asking for full rides would decrease my acceptance like crazy

[chilly kraken]

i mean you should've applied for those

as full pay

[broken crag]

bu does not for intl afaik

[chilly kraken]

no you don't need to ask for a full ride, i meant apply for full ride scholarships

[broken crag]

does it? I couldn't find that

[chilly kraken]

full ride/full tuition

[chilly kraken]

they give out one full tuition scholarship a year and its a separate application but hey chances aren't nil

[chilly kraken]

ah rip

[broken crag]

i get that but the thing is they are insanely competitive.

[chilly kraken]

yeah i know

[broken crag]

its better to get in as a half aid student than a full pay

[wise monolith]

Did you try St. Olaf?

[chilly kraken]

valid

but maybe you could've tried half scholarships?

[broken crag]

in hindsight it was a mistake because uchicago is a auto reject if you are intl + aid

[chilly kraken]

anyways sorry there's no point discussing it now and you did what was right for your situation

[broken crag]

yea i got in

[chilly kraken]

uchicago is auto reject if you are ea/rd (/hj)

[wise monolith]

Yeah that’s a tough situation I’m sorry to hear about it

[wise monolith]

Good work bro

[broken crag]

lmao there is no need to be sorry

it is what it is

also the thing is

its my mistake but

i let college applications come to 1st december

without a college list finalised

so i took my 700 school list

and ranked it

and applied to every t100 uni that offered aid

• every college that emailed me with a fee waiver

so i wrote my college specific essays in december only, and applied till like 1st jan, to as many as i could

and that was that.

I realisitically started in mid nov, but i did nothing but write common app essay for 15 days

[wise monolith]

You did a lot of schools man

I respect the hustle

[broken crag]

lmao thank you

[chilly kraken]

rip

but yeah respect

everyone has their college season regrets

i regret doing so many safeties/targets but also i was hella paranoid

[wise monolith]

you got more acceptances than schools I did how did you even do it bro

[broken crag]

I mean

[wise monolith]

UChicago alone was a week and a half for me

[broken crag]

you got into ucb

everything is a safety

[broken crag]

no yea, t30 schools took a lot of time. but i just reused their content for lower schools

[wise monolith]

THIRTY EIGHT LEFT???

[chilly kraken]

uci wl 💀

neu wl

[broken crag]

yea i did 76..

[broken crag]

i mean most of them are schools i would attend if they were the only school that accepted me

[wise monolith]

https://tenor.com/view/y3ongi-floating-man-gif-21033136

[broken crag]

neu is acting crazy this year ngl

[wise monolith]

76 schools tho I mean sure some may be repetitive or have no supplements/short ones

But do you got 48 hours in a day?

I don’t understand how you made it work

[broken crag]

I don't even know how I made it work

but I know someone did a 140+ this year

in the same 1 month 💀

if they are not lying

which, i mean its a2c

[wise monolith]

That would literally be more than a college a day if they started on November 1 and went until January 10

[broken crag]

no but i mean

I was at one point doing like 5 colleges a day

because i submitted most of my apps in the last 2 weeks till jan 1

[wise monolith]

Crazy

What’s your top choice to have accepted you thus far?

[broken crag]

dm>

[wise monolith]

Sure sure

[prime yew]

I did like 2 a day

It was horrible

Idk how u do 5 a day without your apps being a absolutely horrible

I did hours of research for each why us

[desert lagoon]

OH he’s intl

[broken crag]

i would not they say they are not horrible

[broken crag]

i am

[dim haven]

did anyone here apply for tisch?

[normal tide]

No. I’m not artsy enough

[heavy hearth]

Is NYU harder for internationals?

[thorn ember]

definitely

[burnt nacelle]

all schools r harder for intls

what i heard from someone who specializes in this shit that

if a school has a 4% acceptance rate

its half for internationals

and 1/4th of that for intls asking for aid

[chilly kraken]

not necessarily

need aware schools love full pay intls

and it also depends on country and context

[burnt nacelle]

against intls needing aid? sure but not against domestic students 90% of the time
