valid biz 💀
and did not want to take chem
i think if i somehow make huntsman i may just switch to a language im more comfy with lol
Korean is too hard
valid
i regret not just applying for the bio biz one on the SLIM SLIM SLIM chance i get in
whats special about huntsman
Wharton + CAS
like, im not but .... its still cool to know i tried
ohhhh
yea
i did a program called NSLI which is all based around IR
so i was like
might as well
😆
yea i feel u
that's why i did huntsman
has anyone watched loki
im back in my middleschool tom hiddleston simp phase bro
this is not ok
oh shit ik a girl who did nsli
YEAH
she won the disney dreamer academy thing
last summer?
ended up going to ole miss tho
tv showw
does pretty good at some schools
it was good
im guessin it's correlation ratehr than direct causatin tho
same w/ peep
mhm
i think they consider peep to an extent tho
thats what michelle was saying
im not sure
or like . just whether ur on the roster
prob
like is it the demonstrated interest or that like . u were with penn for a bit and we like u
maybe count it as an interview
maybee
columbia was saying theres was like a 3 day interview
2 years of calculus???
oh??
no one year
cuz theres literallyt just ap calc bc
2 years of physics
oh lmao
that's a pretty fair req rtbh lol
sounded like they wanted ap physics 1 and ap physics c, or ap physics 1 and 2, or ap physics c mech and e&m
they said i was good in that regard
o AP C counts as two
my school doesnt even offer 2 physics
forgot that
💀
yes i think
o do u go to like a liberal arts based school
i only took one year of ap physics c and they said i was chillin
o
TWO
2
SORRY
(mech & e&m)
You did peep?
nah i just asked cuz i have a friend who lives by caltech and goes to this liberal artshs
aided by peep faculty
😭
Ohh
csarts?
do u think a low grade in physics e&m is better than a high grade in physics 2 👀 like lets say a B in the former and a A in the latter
im not sure
nah it's some bougie private school 💀
i got an A in mine though if that helps
no one ever knows with this shit tbh
lol
like this kid from my school had a C in physics C 😭
okay anyways though i am going to getting two b's in my senior year sem 1 and actually highkey
and he was rejected everywhere
a little bit upset
I mean, it's AP Physics Enchantment and Magic
did he apply engineering
harvard......westlake?
how good is penn engineering tho? theres no way penn robotics is #1 cuz its engineering isnt ranked super high on us news
Harvard Westlake?
i think honestly it depends on the individuals circumstances and such, but i dont think a B in e&m will necessarily be looked down upon
their bme is really good
i kknow so many harvy westlake kis
westridge is this all girls hs in pasadena
yea
hella rich and hella smart
Oh isn’t this a boarding school
we have so many kids from our school transfer there
no
Rich ass private school not too far from where I live in LA
just expensive private school
^^ that
oats we might live fairly close to each other lmaoo
ruby def goes to paly or gunn (jokes)
Make sure you don’t dox yourself byw
Btw
😭
Not sure if you were
i dont live anywhere near there
lol
Ngl I should've applied when I moved to LA 'cause they got that financial aid money 🤑
vivid doesnt live in pas
im on the east lmfao
Actually wait no even if I was paid to go there being around an enclave of rich kids
Not even close my mom used to work near paly though
💀
loll
Ohh
my mom was thinking of putting me in that district or the whitney / troy / oxford district
if it feeds it feeds
but told me she was scared my brother wont b able to keep up 😭
i shlda went to andover
my parents were gonna move to somewhere near gunn but they thought id lose my DE opportunities
i sold
troy 😭
bc i was the typical tryhard and he was the typical i despise school let me be charismatic
We were going to move near dvhs and cal
Paly has the cool thing though where they have a wall of rejection
dang i shld probs go sleep now. only cali kids awake rn
tbf the school I ended up at is pretty good
i was just yappin lmao
im not from cali
midwest
They put up their rejection letters
Like, I could've gone to the school I was districted for and holy shit they are underfunded as hell
On a walk
ruby did u end up eding to penn
how many of them are stanford
Literally me
stanny
I got into a local charter instead which doesn't have as bad chronic underfunding issues 💀
Quite a few I saw their insta
ohhhh
how many ppl from ur school got in stanny last yr
🙄 so many stanny kids
fax only i can rea
I wish my parents said no
bro like 10 kids from my school is reaing stanny
WHICH IS VALID. its a california thing
damnn
reaing to harvard tho imagine...
7/89 kids have gotten into stanny in my school’s history
imagine
but lots of cali transplants here so
u rlly need to have the BALLS
i know four ppl reaing mit?
Tbh I wanna get into a college in the Northeast just to get outta here
we havent had one in 5 years
same
Same
^^ my exact thought proces
oh yeah that might b it
i wanna go to the west coast 😭😭
I’m manifesting ucla when I get rejected from Stanford
i want to get out of the west coast
actually ill be happy at washington
i want to get out of california.
hate it here
~~Tbf you live in the middle of the US so any coast is 😳 ~~
im manifesting nothing but if i get deferred/rejected stanford and rejected columbia ill be sad
I’ve decided I’m only going oos if it’s really really worth it to me or I have no option
We had a QB kid get into Stanny from my school last year
Gonna repeat history this year fr
taxes (more of a when i grow up thing), downtown los angeles, san fran as a city, no seasons, i dont like beaches, the dead vibe of the suburbs
whats ur top match
is it not penn?
Masstech
Naw I ranked penn third
i think its overhyped?
my sat isnt high enough 🙃🙃
also, i have family here and i dont rly want to be interacting w/ them that much
is 2nd stanny?
just those?
i thought u were doing yale
I was
no columbia :0
I dipped and switched to RD instead
gl bro i hope to see u
my list is prob: stanny > yale > columbia > penn > brown/northwestern
NICE thats solid
i realized a few days ago that one of my internship supervisor was an alum at columbia hehe
Tbh my SAT is on the lower end for MIT but I at least have a good math score, so meh
shes writing my rec & idk if being an alum of a school rly matters but it cant hurt
Manifesting a kickass superscore for the November SAT fr tho
im 30 below benchmark
YEAHH U GOT THIS
i ended up getting a nice score on my act but i didnt want to submit it js bc it looks a little bit worse than my sat 😭 but idk
I mean, if you got a good SAT, why bother tbh
yeah what i thoughtt
i gave up on my sat
You won’t you’ll get in
my curriculum is strong enough to go test optional according to penn so imma take their advice
Don't you have an insane number of DE courses
oooh nice
Is it really worth applying to a bunch of reach schools in your guys’ opinions
kinda 😭 u thinking of billert
im applying just because i have fee waivers
Finaid 😍
so i might as well
ALSO. submitted udub now
fee waiver lyfe
:)
Cause like I’m kind of feeling like there’s no point bc I’ll be rejected + time waste + ucs hopefully will carrry
Legit reaches or publics are my only affordable options
i have commonapp fee waivers
Yeah but ucs will still be cheaper for me
same
so to every school yeah
Though tbf the UCs are 😳
i have fly in fee waivers
and outreach program ones
ucs are cool
I’m just feeling hopeless 😭
i believe youll get into one ruby
I have a ton of fee waivers too but like
^^
Thanks Brandon
u should at least apply wellesley
ruby YOU GOT THIS
MIT gave me a net price of zero while Cal Poly SLO asked for like $20k so yeah 💀
We all manifestin' UC acceptances fr
I’m on the fence bc I’ll have to write a new essay
Crazy bro
do itttttt
Fr Fr
honestly if i lived in cali id prob just go to a uc
or like idk i think ucs arent up there BUT THATS ALSO WITH THE I DONT WANT TO STAY IN CALIFORNIA THING
The UC application scares me so much
free tuition moment
If I have it in me but I’m definitely doing Yale, Penn, duke, tufts and maybe Wellesley, brown, and Harvard
Actually I’ll prob do harvard bc I can copy and past Stanford
getting into something is another huge thing 😭
OOH fun
Roommate essay copiers fr
that sounds solid
Yes exactly
dont "maybe" a reach school you got into a fly in with at least an 80% retention rate
The three things prompt version is so lame though
right harvard !!
I don’t like it though 😭
I don’t really like Wellesley a whole ton which is why
i mean. if its just casual work
you might as well
only if u have time ofc
but at least pomona
maybe after u finish everything
No app fee though which is why I’m considering
What supps do they ask for
My parents don’t like the Claremont colleges 💀
ruby just apply
its free
They gave me a 100 reasons why Wellesley and asked me to write 2
who cares what ur parents think
True
And why I’m excited
would u rather go to pomona or cal
True
Cal
And to be fair about Wellesley, even if you don't like them that much they do have a strong partnership with MIT
Pomona is more expensive
Yeah that’s a fair point
My MIT interviewer even talked about cross registering classes with Wellesley 'twas cool
:( i dont like the claremont colleges
That’s super cool!!
When the mudd is harvey 😳
Why 😭
or i liked the concept, the place not so much
i actually loved cmc
i think ive talked abt this b4
i was ABSOLUTELY in love with cmc
My friend got into Harvey mudd is rejected for cal!
Seriously though living in San Bernardino county 
Ohh
i visited & the place was super idk how to explain it
it was really off
the campus wasnt that nice at all
Christian mccaffrey 😍
it gave off creepy suburban serial killer vibes
They are having a huge issue w their schools rn
Exactly
that entire section of LA just feels off fr
yes was
hello tubba
yeah
Why was
Lolll
It should be is
whenever i see cmc i think of eno
and my tour guide was questionable too
San Bernardino county seems really messed up ngl
Why is cmc now past tense
idk he kept on talking about politics
Like I don’t think I’d feel ok there
like im all for equality but i want to learn abt the school and not politics 😭
Claremont McKenna dw
yeah
guys im so fucked for my chem test tomorrow 😭
One of my friends lives in San Bernardino county and she posted this and ngl I was freaked out
but idk yeah cmc kind of scared me for other schools, like what if im just in love with the idea and not the place and i commit
gO STUDY.
also
can someone do calculus
and save my sorry ass from getting another d on a test
Yes
how
i have to figure out how to study ?? math??
because im good at every subject but math
tubba is a math god, rizz demon, and book worm
I hate reading
I suck st math
But I love math
It’s better than reading
I MEAN THATS GOOD
Why are we hyping me up again
i shouldve taken ab and got an a ngl
My school is the opposite lmao
AB is harder at my school
The AB teachers suck
The BC teacher is a saint
calc bc
same with us
Did you take ab
i feel like i understand integrals perfectly, and then casually get a d
no
we go straight from precalc to either ab or bc
then the calc 3 teacher is the hardest teacher youll ever get
Ok well ggs
Bro gave us donuts before our finals 
💀
We had like three pizza parties with his class it was crazy
One sec I’m pulling up my periodic table
over thanksgiving
lucky :(
You can ask abhi
our bc teaher is GOOD
Or silly waves
but shes hard asf
Preferably silly waves
you have resources ??
I love silly waves
COULD YOU PLEASE.
Yes
ILL TAKE ANYTHING
oh wait it was the 1s peak 😭
You have to find them
okokok
It can’t be d bc the 1s orbital would still have 2 electrons
Ask in this #1093757575381655572
i was thinking of the 3s
i didnt look to see it said 1s
i get it
And based on periodic trends it would be further right
Si has greater effective nuclear charge
i did not know that was a thread
but thanks
So al will be further to the right
Yup
The nerd thread
bro i just realized i got all these questions wrong bc i was rushing them 😭
I call it the silly waves thread
is row 14 metals
OKAY. what are the thoughts of second-choice major being industrial design
slay? slay
ngl if i was fr i might just apply for a design major unironically 😭
😭
ITS OK NOO :(
ask them abt their favorite clubs/organizations on campus
how they feel going to penn has benefited them in the long run
if they participated in any penn traditions and if there were any they didnt but they wish they did
dg
I’m struggling
actually last one might not be the best because our 2 main traditions are fucking under the button and pissing on ben franklin
but for other schools that one works well
wsp
WOOOO THANK YOU
why are we
why on ben franklin
tradition
actually a couple nights ago when very drunk me and my friends smashed a pumpkin on him
dm me their name
he goes through a lot worse most nights 😢
YEAH
sorry i left for a second to talk to friends argh
THAT LOOKS SO FUN
WAIT FR
i already linkedin stalked him
but does premium have special privileges
😭 poor guy inspired penn just to be abused by students
one sec let me dm u
that
franklin was my fav founding founder
to be fair all of the founding founders were questionable
but my favorite out of the questionable-ity
i dont have anyway but
does he have any orgs listed
which
did u see when ppl painted him purple 😭😭
crazy bro
Yale side eye
Lmsooo
ah i got my austrian guy cuz he’s m&t @bold onyx
Whats this mean? Penn interviews don’t count anymore?
I didn’t get an interview yet so I pray it is true 😔🙏
Cuz this is lowk contradicting thag email
thats exactly what it says 😭😭
well the email is much more recent
so they prolly changed something recently
😵💫🥲
Surprising that they would completely flip the switch in one app cycle
So my interview in three hours doesn’t matter
wait fr? no way interview dont matter at all why would they do it
unless its just to get u interested in penn so u will choose them
background check
someone can look nice on paper but irl they could be pretentious, elitest, etc and the interview can catch those things
oo true
Wdym
For admissions or classes
For classes there’s no school wide policy, departments/individual professors can choose
@burnt osprey @bold onyx dw
if i get in ill buy u guys food.
if i get in ED im coming up in january when im back from saudi ill buy u food then
bro casually in saudi
ya im gone for 4 weeks
dec 7 to jan 8
ill be in saudi uae and the surrounding countries a lil
qatar oman kuwait
idk, i just know they rebranded the interviews to be conversations so
take me to 5 star restaurant
damn what about school works
Independent study
yeah i cant do that
im chill
i told al my teachers like 2 weeks ago
they accelerated most of my work and im taking any exams early
thanksgiving break is next week so after this week i really only have 1 week of school
Wtf
Oh wait
Makes sense
yw
ye
im leaving the 7th and my normal break is the 14th anyway
im only missing 4 days of school
We’re the 22nd 😭
ah
It’s so awful
Our sem ends with winter break
Do you get like a whole month
We get 2 weeks
Oh nice
we cme back like new years week so
Usually break starts earlier though idk why so late
We come back Jan 8th
yeah 22nd is very late LOL
No literally it’s ok though
thats like right before christmas the major holiday during that time period
yeah i think ours is 22nd
I’m leaving early for vacation
nice where u going
dam thats late as hell
Florida + Caribbean
thats sick
Very excited
W
It’s our first vacation in a long time so even more exciting
i will
@opaque pilot he better than u
my interview went on for 1hr 8 mins lol
lil bro measured the time
NICEE
a bit stressed out for mine -- what did u guys end up talking abt?
they did measure the time 😭 to the dot too
shouldve measured seconds
nah i just remember we started exactly at 3 and then i looked at the clock at the end and it said 4:08
is it a good sign if the interview goes on for longer than expected
yeah thats what i was asking i prob should have phrased it better
Not rlly
Some interviewsrs just like to yap more than others
upenn interviews mean nothing why are you stressed?
like they play no role in admissions
theres always that afterthought and belief they do
although i know its not my fault i don’t receive a interiew
theres a mental aspect
or part of you
that still believes it is
No they literally said interviews aren’t evaluative
yes we know
Even if you get one it doesn’t benefit you necessarily
It’s informational
it’s called an alumni conversation for a reason
Be nice
Crazy
nah if u dont get u get rejected
nah bru i was talking about how people tend to stress themselves regardless of what theyre told logically
idk what ur on about dud
famski
theres a psychological aspect to it
i said fight the psychological aspect and forget it
the school shouldn’t be ur personality
find your self worth
this is what a2c kids are forgetting
lmao u can tell a hopeless romantic the true and reality about their love life but they still wont listen to u
same thing with college
no way ur comparing love with a business
no im talking about the psychological aspect of reality vs what you want to believe
forget the college famski
i used it as a comparison
nvm i wont instigate further lmao
lol i dont wanna argue with a brick
nah it’s fine just keep idolizing institutions
Hi
its awesome how this conversation wasnt about idolizing colleges and more of why people still believed in interviews etc
What’s going on guys

id still be happy
hows the dating scene at penn
horrid based on my friends' accounts
are people socially inept or what
suprising
i thought "nerds" at ivies were more into the awkward talk and phases over straight up banging on the couch
your idea of a "nerd" is not the avg penn student
academically capable and passionate? sure
when i think of hookup culture
so many people engage in typical college shit
drinking getting high partying thurs - sun
and ofc hookup culture
and boys too
so a top institution is more than just slaving off to the library
obviously
its barely that even lmfao
the grind is secondary at best
yes
very much so
theres a lot of gay parties too lmao
gay scene here is nuts if you know the right people
yeah i mean idk
top colleges dont want just nerds
thats boring and they dont make for good leaders or people people
true
finding love at penn is harder than getting in
unironically
i mean
one of my friends got lucky
but such cases are few and far between
most stable couples ik are not both at penn
of finding my korean wife who can cook me korean food
that or haverford, bryn mawr, swarthmore, villanova, temple, .. theres a lot
are you korean
interesting
very strange thing to say generally but i see
chinese cuisine is boring
after 17 years
of eating it straight
wbu'
let me guess
vietnamese
me??
yes
i love viet food but i am not viet
the first viet person i met was at penn tho
half my friends atp are viet
but i am not viet
is there chinatown popular in philly?
i like walking in like "asian towns" and seeing the food they offer
yes
i go so frequently its crazy
thats one of the reasons nyu is on my list but lowkey its kinda expensive....
and a lot of my friends go basically weekly for groceries
any school in nyc would do
cunys r cheaper
through like a bus or yall have whips(cars)
i see
tbh
its not the decision thats gonan kill me
but this fking wait is unbearable
do yall have a hookup spreadsheet
I know someone who does lmfao
very few nerds at penn
i love korean food but im chinese
everyone here is social networky type
lmao
u will NOT find ur wife here at penn
can i find a wife at swarthmore
The men here are worse than the women don’t play

They’re all gay try again
the men are worse on average but i know good men yet very few good women
Am I a good woman
maybe they just havent met me yet
…
Also I’m flipped I don’t know a single good man tbh
ur sexist
No I just
Had only one straight guy friend here
And then he did some fuck shit
So now I’m at 0
Lmao
idk man a lot people say no
They’re stupid
mhmm
yes
Emre are we friends
one of my good friends here is a girl
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😅😁😁😁😁
I ate chipotle w you and this how u treat me
im just trolling i wouldnt buy a rando food
i dont have bread like that
YAYYYYY
Tho
Lowkey fucked up
It’s my birthday month
I should be the one getting paid for
Two days

i thought penn most attractive ivy
physical attractiveness != love
i just found out there was a kid at my school applying penn with double legacy and a college counselor :(
and hella impressive nepotism ecs & essays just edited beyond belief this is not ok
actually ill be fine i just have to cope for a bit
^^ and yeah that
who cares
im a firm believer in
manifest
if you get in its on you
PLEASE
yeah fs fs
because that's kind of un-college-counselor/parent-able
and 3 ppl did yale rea
but bro if he takes this like easy asf ucla calculus class that u dont even have to do anything for....
then it looks impressive but like
🙄 bro just paid for it
and this one girl kept thinking she was gonna get rejected cause 2 others applied
ahh that makes sense yeah
sometimes in life
