This guy

[gray pasture]

Kayak is happiest when she gets to say this

[burnt osprey]

He was IN MY DMS flirting with me trying to HOOK IP like HELLO???

[tranquil dagger]

i thought they were just nerds or smth cuz they r the smartest on campus

[burnt osprey]

And I messaged his gf with proof and everything and she BLOCKED ME??

Penn men are fucking AWFUL and the women are dumb as fuck !

[bold onyx]

nah im smarter

[burnt osprey]

Never doing either

[gray pasture]

Nerds don’t exist at Penn. Only hoes apparently

[tender kiln]

they’re not close to the smartest bro

[tranquil dagger]

lmfao

[gray pasture]

I thought you said Penn women were amazing 😞

[tender kiln]

m&t kids r like

[burnt osprey]

We are except the stupid ones

[tranquil dagger]

LSM?!

[tender kiln]

aberage penn smartness

[burnt osprey]

I’m so amazing

[tender kiln]

none of the program kids r that smart

[bold onyx]

aight now u gotta be trolling

[tender kiln]

the electrical engineers and math majors are the smartest

[burnt osprey]

I think everyone at Penn is smart in some way idt there’s a way to say for sure if someone is uniquely smartest

[bold onyx]

math majors fs

[tender kiln]

bro i spend a lot of time with m&ts i can confidently say in smarter than 90% of them

[gray pasture]

Did u apply to m and t and get rejected ?

[bold onyx]

if they go thru penn intro math and still keep math major they cracked

[tender kiln]

they are talented in their own ways ofc but they arent smarter

[bold onyx]

ur also a nerd

[tender kiln]

nah i didnt apply m&t

[burnt osprey]

Both of you are nerds

[tranquil dagger]

are LSM kids frowned upon

[burnt osprey]

I am not a nerd

[tranquil dagger]

or unnoticed

[bold onyx]

yes we frown when we see them

[burnt osprey]

Everyone is frowned upon by someone

[tender kiln]

no

[gray pasture]

What is this

[tranquil dagger]

life and science management kinda sounds cool (bio + wharton degree)

[gray pasture]

What is an Lam

[tranquil dagger]

i have a friend in it

[tender kiln]

a lot of them end up being premeds though so lsm becomes a little useless

[gray pasture]

Wharton really is Penn’s bread and butter huh

[tranquil dagger]

i heard their nursing is pretty strong

[burnt osprey]

Penn nursing is strongest in the country

[tender kiln]

we have #1 nursing

[burnt osprey]

We’re good in medicine

[tranquil dagger]

good in med, stem (?), finance, what else

[bold onyx]

penn is strong in everything

[burnt osprey]

We’re just good tbh

[burnt osprey]

Pretty niche but our ling department pretty fire

Tho I will say

[bold onyx]

like not even tryna be biased, but penn is just very good at almost everything lol

[tender kiln]

yeah

[gray pasture]

Mb I didn’t know I could remove reactions

[burnt osprey]

Penn is lacking in the fine/visual arts/design and we entirely lack a journalism department. There’s a running joke that the daily Pennsylvanian is penn’s journalism degree

Because everyone out of Penn that goes into journalism had n active role in the DP

[tender kiln]

yeah we have no journalism major

[burnt osprey]

Tbh for a school w no journalism degree our newspaper pretty fire

[tender kiln]

the weitzman school of design pretty cool but i think more at a graduate level

[bold onyx]

dg if i apply to ur dp group r u the one reading my applicatiob

[tender kiln]

yeah

[tranquil dagger]

waht do ppl think of CAS

[tender kiln]

yeah

[burnt osprey]

Yeah undergrad design is cool but still new and lacking in many ways

I wish it was fledged out more

[bold onyx]

aight if u reject me, me and kayak jumping u

[tender kiln]

i think i will be letting most ppl in because we need to like build out department

since its new

[tranquil dagger]

i feel like penn cas is just there yk liek its overshadowed

[bold onyx]

what is the department

[tranquil dagger]

no one ever talks abt it

[tender kiln]

but i’m super excited we’re doing proper product management

[burnt osprey]

I met this woman who was behind a ton of famous Nickelodeon/Cartoon Network/PBS kids shows and currently is lead animator for duilingo from Penn and she was like yeah Penn still had a long way to go lol

[tender kiln]

its called innovation lab

but its basically the product management division

[bold onyx]

bc the cas is full of dozens of diff majors

u cant generalize it

[burnt osprey]

CAS is 2/3 of undergrads

We are the default

We are Penn

[bold onyx]

thats so money

[burnt osprey]

So like we don’t universally get shit on

But specific CAS majors do

like PPE, gender and sexuality studies, CAS Econ, etc

Comms too

[tender kiln]

yess i’m going to try and recruit hella to it

i’m kinda sad i think i progressed in dp too early though

[true cliff]

what???

[bold onyx]

i will joinnnn, i think im applying to like 3 other clubs next sem too

[tender kiln]

because i’m not going to run for business manager

so i’m like

out after spring sophomore yr

[tender kiln]

yesss will be so fire

[burnt osprey]

Pivot to a diff department entirely

Join us in design 😈

[tender kiln]

i don’t have the talent 😢

[burnt osprey]

Dw many people here don’t

🔥

I ate w this one

[bold onyx]

i cant wait for sem2 bruh

[burnt osprey]

I’m scared

I can’t believe I’ve only got 5 semesters left

[bold onyx]

its gonna be sm fun

[burnt osprey]

Time at Penn too fleeting

[tender kiln]

real

[bold onyx]

im gonna know my summer plans, join more cool things, take way better classes

[burnt osprey]

I feel like I work too much and don’t enjoy the things that make Penn Penn

[bold onyx]

old asf

[burnt osprey]

Imagine not knowing where ur interning

[bold onyx]

i will know soon

im in application process for two externships rn

[burnt osprey]

You need more

[tender kiln]

yeah

[bold onyx]

[gray pasture]

Why PPE shat on ?

[bold onyx]

its so free

[burnt osprey]

It’s like

The dumbass’s Wharton

Like the dumbest people ik are PPE majors

[bold onyx]

wharton student intelligence > kayak intelligence

[burnt osprey]

[keen fulcrum]

hey guys! if you requested css fee waiver directly from penn, when did you hear back? like how many days it took

[ember bolt]

it took them 2 days to give me my waiver

[keen fulcrum]

that’s exactly how twice stans should be treated like fr

[strange ember]

anyone at penn can take any class right

[true cliff]

when do ed results come out for this shit

[bold onyx]

yes and no

there are some restrictions, but generally yes

[bold onyx]

12/15

[tender kiln]

no there are restrictions like i cant take a lot of wharton classes

[strange ember]

do u know if cis 4190 can be taken by a cas student?

[true cliff]

what time est does this shit come out

[tender kiln]

lemme check

[strange ember]

🙏

[tender kiln]

but simce its not a grad course i think cis department usually lets students take

[strange ember]

oh i thought grad courses can also be taken by undergrads LOL

at least thats the impression 'one university policy' left on me

[tender kiln]

ok so nah cis 4190 is cs students only

[tender kiln]

nah i’m taking a grad course next sem as a freshman so

[strange ember]

wait shit in my supp essay i wrote how i wanna take that course even tho im applying cas LOL

is this a big deal 😳

[tender kiln]

nah dwai idt they will care

and you can always double major in cs

and take that course as a cas student

[strange ember]

true

how good is penn at cs btw

dont know if i should trust us news ranking

[tender kiln]

in terms of what

getting jobs id say we’re very good

experience in general i’d say is also pretty nice and community is great

[strange ember]

how is the ml/ai aspect of it

im p interested in that too

[tender kiln]

we’re ranked really high for ai i think

and we have lots of fun courses

look into ese 2000

if you’re interested in ai

it’s basically cis 4190 but slightly toned down

[strange ember]

oo thats cool

what is the system eng major lmao

still confused

[tender kiln]

cool ass major

basically applied math + cs + low level ee

its also like a very moldable major

you can rly make it wtv u want

[strange ember]

o i see

🤔

[tender kiln]

i considered it a lot but in the end i’m just better at cs than at math so

what major r u in cas

[strange ember]

i applied as physics

with an equal interest in cs

the cas cs double major is p cool

[tender kiln]

why didn’t you just apply viper lol

[strange ember]

wasnt very interested in doing very intensive research

heard viper is kinda serious abt research

i feel like putting all my time doing research and tech stuff isnt what i wanna do in college - im also equally interested in business

too many interest lmao

[tender kiln]

hm fair

id say at penn u will mostly be pursuing business interests through clubs not curriculum

but yeah fair

[strange ember]

hows the club scene here? are you also pursuing your business interests through clubs 👀

[tender kiln]

yeah

clubs are really competitive to get in but once you’re in they’re super fun

[strange ember]

how bad is the wharton superiority complex LMAO

are you thinking of going into tech/mgmt in the future?

[bold onyx]

7

[bold onyx]

nah AOs prolly dont even know what the class is

[bold onyx]

nobody legit thinks their better than the other colleges unless theyre a weirdo

[true cliff]

[lean quiver]

[vagrant grotto]

My Penn Interview guy wants me to send him a zoom link, how long should I scedule the meeting for? Also ig I gotta go pay for ZoomPlus so I can have more than 40 min

[burnt osprey]

I would tell him that zoom plus is required lol

You shouldn’t need to pay for your interview

[vagrant grotto]

how do I word the email "yo sorry I'm not tryna pay to talk to you"

[burnt osprey]

Tell them that in order to do so, you’d need to pay for ZoomPlus. Then suggest either they send you a link or an alternative platform like Google Meet that isn’t paid

[faint badger]

Nope 49% of the class not applicants

[vagrant grotto]

did anyone elses alumni interview ask them to send a zoom link?

[sonic tree]

Oh

That still means like…a 10% Ed acceptance rate ish?

[burnt osprey]

All of my interviewers my year sent their own links, I believe that’s standard protocol

[faint badger]

I think last time they released it was 15%?

We’re gonna get a lot more this year tho

[vagrant grotto]

hmm okay I'll word an email to him

thank you

[sonic tree]

Unreal

[bold onyx]

u can do it for free for 40 min

[grizzled aspen]

I think it was around 14% for 2027

[burnt osprey]

They rlly shouldn’t be asking you this but iirc there’s nothing against it

[zenith drum]

thats what I thought

[burnt osprey]

I’ve heard of it in the past haven’t experienced it myself personally

[zenith drum]

I tried to dodge her question and said I’m waiting until dec 15th decision

but she kept persisting???

[burnt osprey]

Weird

What’d you end up saying

[zenith drum]

it also lasted 2 hrs

[zenith drum]

I said I’m looking into private universities in the east coast

[burnt osprey]

Ok that’s good at least

[zenith drum]

and then she listed some

And I had to say yes or no 🙄

[opaque pilot]

kayak

Literally no one

Do not bring your car to Penn

Parking here sucks

You’re better off just ubering if you desperately need a car

Septa and walking does most people fine

[opaque pilot]

whats septa

[burnt osprey]

The public transportation system in Philly

[opaque pilot]

[burnt osprey]

:(

I’m praying my courses get approved for next sem

[opaque pilot]

u switched majors didnt u

[burnt osprey]

uh

i came in for polisci but was undeclared

i declared a few weeks ago

as cogs

so yes but no

[opaque pilot]

what typa jobs do u expect with a cogs degree

[ember bolt]

okay because if i end up going there i rly wont be able to afford it without a job on campus 😭

[burnt osprey]

a lot lol

its broad and new

most penn ppl doing cogs go into tech cs type jobs or finance

its v broad

encompasses cs, ling, psych, philosophy, neuro, etc etc

[opaque pilot]

yeah nets and cogs are interesting to me

[burnt osprey]

im doing the language and mind concentration, prob gonna do grad school and research shit personally

[opaque pilot]

i like that intersection alot

i see thats cool

do u think its possible to dual degree w it

like is it a very hard major

[burnt osprey]

hm lemme check nets

itd be hard tbh

a bit of overlap

[opaque pilot]

nah

cogs and wharton

[burnt osprey]

but all of those courses plus gen eds that dont overlap

[burnt osprey]

hmm

[opaque pilot]

i dont have the balls to engineering & wharton dual degree

[burnt osprey]

prob posssibe but cogs is pretty beefy

[opaque pilot]

i see

yeah the computation concentration interests me

because i really do like that intersection of CS, p/p/e (right?), AI and linguistics

like neuroeconomics and behavioral economics r very interesting to me

[burnt osprey]

ppe? ehh

phil yes, poli not really, econ possible but it isnt central to cogs, j tangentiall related thru things like consumer psych or behavioral econ

[restive void]

umm

my interviewer was asssigned like 5 days ago

and they still havent emailed me

[modern breach]

[bold onyx]

[ember bolt]

if i get into penn i’ll ask out the girl i like

[supple granite]

Just do it now bro you not gonna see her again anyways after hs

[ember bolt]

okay but it’s complicated because i already asked her to hoco last year and we went together but then like a month after she got a boyfriend but now they broke up and now i dont wanna seem like im just like swooping in because they broke up, so imma just wait and see if i get in, its my good luck charm 🤞

[opaque pilot]

@burnt osprey @bold onyx what u two wannt me to do

if i get in

[bold onyx]

[hybrid skiff]

[ember bolt]

[burnt osprey]

Michelin star restaurant or hot pot

[hybrid skiff]

its ok if ivy+ schools want us then it's better 🔥

[rotund drift]

Same

[bold onyx]

michelin star

[ember bolt]

WE GOT THIS

[astral flicker]

I wanna record the a2c data to see if people on here tend to have higher acceptance rates

[open slate]

if i get into penn i would literally sacrifice a kidney to a cancer patient out of pure joy and love for the world

[hybrid skiff]

they do a2c census each year right? haven't checked out that data but i wonder if anything of note is in there

[astral flicker]

Smh tell that to the ao that way you show selflessness and demonstrated interest

[open slate]

i should

i’m gonna submit my quarter 1 grades to penn are you guys doing the same? is this normal?

[ember bolt]

well i dont have quarters so

my semester grades will most likely be submitted before i get my decision bcz dont they require the mid year report?

[astral flicker]

Didnt know about the census, very good info

I will send if they ask for it, otherwise im not

[burnt osprey]

Check our census lol

People do have higher acceptance rates here yes

But that’s because of the kinds of people that are in A2C

The average income is something like 250k

[ember bolt]

oh shit, so if we get accepted ed we dont need to do a mid year report lfg

[ember bolt]

this is insane idk why but i assumed most of us here were low-mid income, since like i assume those r the types of ppl who need to look at like the internet for help with college applications. like i assumed most rich people just ask like their counselor at their private school or like their parents since their parents definitely went to college

[burnt osprey]

Nah surprisingly not

Tho a large portion of a2cers do have consultants

[ember bolt]

why are u on a2c if u have a consultant? arent they kinda the same thing?

[burnt osprey]

Nah

Not all consultants do everything

Some may just advise on essays

And like A2C is useful in that it’s free and fast

[ember bolt]

rich people problems ig 💔

[opal silo]

Really wow

I feel like 95% of active people on A2C are low income

[burnt osprey]

Maybe on the fuscord

I think the reality is most users are either super rich or poor

[bold onyx]

it was recorded during census

a2c acceptance rates are much higher than normal

[hybrid skiff]

if i get in you guys are paying for the waffles

[opal silo]

hm really ive almost never seen super rich people except for ettingerz

[hybrid skiff]

sillyinator

couple of others

[opal silo]

i feel like its mostly low income with a smidge of like upper middle class bay area asians

[opal silo]

oh did not know that

hes one of the williams simps so i dont associate with him 🙂

[hybrid skiff]

izmay

[opal silo]

wait really

[hybrid skiff]

he claims to have paid aos for insider advice when we were talking about stanford admissions

also goes to private school if i remember right

[opal silo]

jesus

crazy shit

[sonic tree]

Meanwhile I live near fields of cotton and peanuts lol

[ember bolt]

i live in cow town 💔💔

[hybrid skiff]

im middle class but go to a rich school

ik ppl who have school & out of school counselor 💀

[ember bolt]

im like lower middle class like my dad works at mc donalds lol, i go to supposedly the best public school in my county but its not rly good like my counselor literally told me i’d never get into penn and to not waste my time or money applying

she also said she doubted i could get into the local state school with a like 50% acceptance rate LMFAO

[stoic owl]

i'm upper middle class but i live in a rural area and my parents are immigrants, so my parents know next to nothing about the process and i didn't even know college counselors existed until i joined a2c, also i go to a public school

[stoic owl]

bruh your counselor is so rude tf

[modern breach]

Bro what is up with Penn spamming emails

[ember bolt]

shes funny 😭

[rotund drift]

if i get in im gonna ask my crush to prom

[silver carbon]

OMG PRAYING ON UR SUCCESS

[rotund drift]

[hybrid skiff]

rizz in the upenn chat ‼️

[waxen mauve]

when do yall think ED decisions will come out

[hybrid skiff]

i would guess like dec 15

[bold onyx]

dec 15 7pm

[pearl ice]

I'm also an immigrant who moved here in dec2021, knew absolutely nothing about hs in usa. And then my dad met with his friends and they told him college applications in USA are hard and rigorous, and that people start prepping for college in hs.
So that put a lot of pressure on me, especially cuz I knew nothing about college and so I joined a2c.

While people say a2c is "toxic" and pressurizing, a2c is what helped me start doing more ECs, and now I'm happy to say I know more about college application process than anyone in my school :)
A2C has been very motivational and inspiring to me ong

[fringe surge]

wow

[fringe surge]

funny

[opaque pilot]

If u come to DC ill take u guys out i swear

To a michelin star restaraunt or equivalent

@bold onyx ^

[bold onyx]

i think decisions come out 12/14

ill be there 12/15

[tender kiln]

am i invited ryan

[bold onyx]

only if u pay half the bill

[opaque pilot]

i thought that was inferred.

u and emre ar elike 1 individual anything i say to him applies to u

[bold onyx]

ageism

[subtle sparrow]

where does it say that?

[opaque folio]

i love this emoji it very much represents everything

[bold onyx]

yale confirmed 12/14 and other ivies will most likely be same day

well according to carly they confirmed

[subtle sparrow]

oh nice

i just assumed 15th but ig 1 day earlier

[grizzled pivot]

For early ivies can differ

But they’re usually within a few days of each other

[true cliff]

is there a document of these acceptance rates 😭

[ember bolt]

anyone else binge watching every video on youtube of people talking about penn and their major? 😍

[pearl ice]

Inspirational

[pearl ice]

Yeah

They do a survey every year

[analog shard]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b05YESKfQ9xehgFwNuv5OdStBBnLsSu0/view

21% california is wild

[pearl ice]

2.8% NC :(

[ember bolt]

3% florida 💔

[true cliff]

oooo

[true cliff]

north dakota is crazy 💀

[plain wolf]

Anyone do lsm

[opaque folio]

california up !!

except its prob all the cracked bay area kids 😭

[ember bolt]

does penn do likely letters for ed or is it just for rd applicants?

[gray pasture]

only RD

[opaque folio]

rd

[burnt osprey]

I don’t think colleges have any incentive to do likelies ED

like

[ember bolt]

i think im gonna go insane like i cant keep waiting for this decision date

[burnt osprey]

You’re already committed if you get in

They don’t need to flatter you to guarantee that you’ll commit

[ember bolt]

that makes sense

[burnt osprey]

It’s crazy how mid December feels far to you guys but I’m dreading it

[opaque folio]

im starting the getting kinda nervy for apps in

haha

[ember bolt]

im just anxious about it because idk wht imma do if i get rejected

my main reason for applying was out of spite (💀) so like if i dont get in i just proved ppl right

[opaque folio]

😭 tbf though you cant really prove people RIGHT it's penn

[ember bolt]

BUT STILL

ik imma get to dec 15th and see a rejection in my applicant portal tho

[opaque folio]

im TRYING really hard to not get my hopes up

bc its like logical. and im hypothetically good with disappointment

[ember bolt]

idk after seeing the nursing schools acceptance rates ive gotten kinda delulu which is rly getting my hopes up

[opaque folio]

HELP. me going like welll whartons acceptancec rate is higher than like . cornells and then just deluluing off that even though it makes ABSOLUTELY NO LOGICAL SENSE

LIKE PENN IS THE BUSINESS SCHOOL CORNELL IS NOT but my brain is like satisfied from the explanation

[ember bolt]

my logic has been “college of nursing has a 30% acceptance rate??? well i already got in a program with a 6% acceptance rate so i obviously will get into this one” LMFAO

[opaque folio]

HAHAHAHA

so true 😔 ✊

[clever elm]

I just submitted UPenn nerves are kicking in

[open slate]

dw

[clever elm]

why not

[open slate]

you’ll do great

[bold onyx]

statistically speaking, none of u will make it

[limpid cosmos]

that's comforting

[upper zealot]

[true cliff]

30% is mad

maybe i should become a nurse

[tender kiln]

eden u applied nursing?

[ember bolt]

yup 💪

i wanna do nursing with a global health minor

[ember bolt]

dont just do it for funzies, nursing is hard asl

[true cliff]

true

hard ass program

im not gonna become a nurse dw

💀

[modern breach]

Did any of y’all apply to any of the dual degree programs

[ember bolt]

still a little sad that if i go to penn i lose my entire aa basically MEANING i’d have taken a&p 1&2 and microbio for no reason

[frigid seal]

LMFAO

[uneven cove]

LMAO

[ember bolt]

i just saw that a lot of people got interviews with the nursing director of admissions on top of their initial interview so i think im screwed!!

[astral flicker]

I think even more interesting are some of the outliers where you wouldnt expect

Missouri & Minnisota

[sonic summit]

Where's that?

[sonic summit]

Wow

[burnt osprey]

Should be somewhere in the subreddit menu bar thing

[sonic summit]
