[ember bolt]

[faint badger]

"Would you like to provide information regarding personal identification with the LGBTQ+ community? (optional)"

[pearl ice]

:3

[faint badger]

And it makes you explain

[burnt osprey]

Ah

[pearl ice]

Oh

[burnt osprey]

It’s been like three years since i applied cut me slack 😔

I’m old as hell

[faint badger]

[pearl ice]

How cracked were you or did the essays carry

[faint badger]

so much of this is dependent on your regional AO

like ur rlly trynna get them to vouch for u

[burnt osprey]

I was very regular besides a high sat score

I think my essays were good

[pearl ice]

Did you Keegan and emree meet after or before UPenn acceptance

[burnt osprey]

I wasn’t even a mod when i got into Penn

[pearl ice]

Wow

Wait so UPenn is like Duke?

[ember bolt]

sidenote but yestoday is such a good song

[faint badger]

wym

[pearl ice]

Like considers philly/NC citizens

[burnt osprey]

I met Keegan and Emre after they began college

Both are freshmen and I’m a sophomore

[pearl ice]

Ohh

[faint badger]

i think its due to allegations

[burnt osprey]

Ong

[faint badger]

thrown at penn

for gentrfication

[dense oriole]

ur old af

[burnt osprey]

Yup

[faint badger]

gentrification

[burnt osprey]

Mf you are like a half year older than me

[dense oriole]

🤫

[burnt osprey]

You just a year behind so pathetic

[faint badger]

who r u

[dense oriole]

ur so ableist for making fun of me bc I had to take a medical gap year

[pearl ice]

Wait wtf it only considers philly residents and not Pennsylvanians?

[burnt osprey]

My ex work wife

[burnt osprey]

Yeah specifically Philly

[faint badger]

yeah bcuz im p sure its to uplift philly community

[dense oriole]

Philly doesn’t like Penn I’m afraid

[burnt osprey]

Yeah esp since they keep gentrifying it

[pearl ice]

Crazy coming from a school named after Pennsylvania

[faint badger]

precisely

[burnt osprey]

If only Columbia did the same for Harlem lol

Maybe I would’ve been admitted rather than deferred

[burnt osprey]

Tbf it was originally Philadelphia college wasn’t it

[pearl ice]

No idea

[faint badger]

yea

[pearl ice]

UPenn sounds better so I'm glad they changed it

[hybrid skiff]

i thought nyc residents hated columbia

[faint badger]

college of philly

yea

[burnt osprey]

We do but it was my ED school

Very familiar w it

[pearl ice]

UPhilly sounds better actually

[dense oriole]

Pennsylvania wasn’t a state at that time 💀

[burnt osprey]

I mean it was a province

Hence the name before that

[bold onyx]

well they only accept like 150ish

[burnt osprey]

True

But proportionally a decent percent ig

[faint badger]

im sure a lot more ppl apply too

[dense oriole]

About 90% are from 2 schools 💀

[faint badger]

because its so close

[uneven cove]

What are you guys talking about

[burnt osprey]

I feel like there’s more people from NYC but there’s also just more people in NYC

[bold onyx]

masterman and that one quaker school

[burnt osprey]

Masterman

[dense oriole]

Central has a lot too

[upper zealot]

WWWW

[pearl ice]

That's a school namr?💀

[burnt osprey]

NYC just too big

[pearl ice]

Mastermind academy

[dense oriole]

wait r u talking about gfs as the Quaker school bc a decent amount of those kids don’t even live in Philly

[burnt osprey]

Yeah

[pearl ice]

Sounds crazy

[burnt osprey]

I almost went to a hs called Horace Mann

[faint badger]

so 2 for NYC

[pearl ice]

Are they there only for upenn

[burnt osprey]

I’m so curious if Jessica or Micaela read my application

I’m from Manhattan but my hs was in queens

[pearl ice]

Wait they list the names

Wtf

How many kids have tried bribing these ppl

[dense oriole]

Chill a girl I like went there

[burnt osprey]

Stuyvesant bitches bhad

[upper zealot]

[dense oriole]

the girl I like is lowkey a baddie but she doesn’t care about anyone which makes her even hotter ngl

[faint badger]

[upper zealot]

Damn

[burnt osprey]

Your mom fucked you up man

[upper zealot]

Playing hard to get

[upper zealot]

What does this mean lmao

[burnt osprey]

I’m the opposite of you

[dense oriole]

idk how to feel about my mom anymore

[burnt osprey]

Mommy issues

[ember bolt]

i sent like 50,000 and a signed headshot lets hope this worked

[burnt osprey]

If he doesn’t worship the ground I walk on something’s wrong with him

[dense oriole]

@burnt osprey I lowkey feel bad for my mom

like my attitude changed

[burnt osprey]

Classic mother issue experience

I hate and pity and love and despise my mom

[upper zealot]

Fr

[dense oriole]

wait did u see what happened to her?

[upper zealot]

I sometimes love this woman

[burnt osprey]

In a lot of ways I am my mom

[upper zealot]

But sometimes I absolutely hate her

So much

[burnt osprey]

I don’t think so

Fill me in

[burnt osprey]

Yeah exactly

[dense oriole]

Check void.

[burnt osprey]

Kk

Jesus fuck

I see

That definitely complicates things

For me it’s just like damn

My mom was sm like me

But then she got married mad young to an awful husband

And now her life sucks and consequently my life suckd

[dense oriole]

Wait my ex had the same parental situation

is it a south Asian thing 😭

[burnt osprey]

Yes

Lmao

There’s this quote

About how you should love yourself because you’re the product of many people/faces people have fallen in love with before

We’re products of centuries of love

Can’t relate in the slightest bro

I’m the product of diplomatic marriages and chasing the bag with a hint of incest and pediphilia

[uneven cove]

[burnt osprey]

Average south Asian experience

[faint badger]

I need to find my colonizer ancestor bruh my last name is literally italian/european

and im south asian

[burnt osprey]

Mines Arab im in a similar boat

The way how my entire name is Arabic

💀

[dense oriole]

THE LAST PART?????

[burnt osprey]

My maternal grandma was 14 when she got married to my grandpa at 21

[dense oriole]

um um um

[burnt osprey]

My paternal grandma was like 14 ish married to a 60+ year old

[dense oriole]

not me y’all stay safe tho 🙏

[burnt osprey]

Grim stuff

[uneven cove]

I share my last name with a kind of pasta

So actually get shid on

[burnt osprey]

Bro is chicken Alfredo

[dense oriole]

Bro is rigatoni 💀

[hazy merlin]

My maternal aunt was 14 when she got married to her 28/29 year old uncle 😭 very concerning what used to go on

[strange ember]

💀

[burnt osprey]

Astaghfirullah

And this is why I’m marrying as far from my culture as possible 🔥🔥🔥

[hazy merlin]

I really don’t get the obsession w marrying daughters off to their uncles even if they’re the same age

[burnt osprey]

Very low odds of incest if I’m going from South Asia to South America right

[hazy merlin]

It’s still a thing

[dense oriole]

It’s lowkey hot when girls don’t care about guys but like are still very attractive

[burnt osprey]

Yeah it’s extremely bizarre

[uneven cove]

What WOULD be the opposite?

[hazy merlin]

Real asf

[hazy merlin]

WWW

[strange ember]

wait can u send the website

i wonder how many for long island

[hazy merlin]

They legit want incest like hello

[burnt osprey]

Are you ok in the brain

[uneven cove]

That’s really un true

[burnt osprey]

I have a cousin, for him I’m his cousin on both his mother and fathers side of the family

Extremely grim

[hazy merlin]

Oh my 😭 that’s wild

My first cousin is both my first cousin and my great uncle’s daughter…

[burnt osprey]

I’m lowkey scared of dating other Bengali people bc what if that’s cuzzo

[burnt osprey]

iiiiiii

[hazy merlin]

This is real asf

Thankfully my family line isn’t that large hopefully!!

[burnt osprey]

Also just dating generally in NYC. My grandpa had like ten kids w his first wife here and there’s like hundreds of people related to me that are my age but probably my grand nieces and nephews in the city lmao

[supple granite]

Its not that deep tho

[burnt osprey]

What’s worse is they’re all basically not Bengali anymore

[hazy merlin]

💀 that’s actually insane

[burnt osprey]

Just various black and Hispanic

So I have no real way of knowing

[uneven cove]

I met my distant cousin at my homeschool co op

She is actually half Turkish but is whiter than I am

And a ginger

[burnt osprey]

Ginger is crazy

I think my family has a ginger gene

[hazy merlin]

😭

[dense oriole]

I either like when they are madly in love or not at all

[burnt osprey]

Only half of this is relatable

[faint badger]

1

[burnt osprey]

It’s such a fucking ick when they show no interest

[strange ember]

wait i dont think it's the total # of aos tho, i think it's the regional leader

[uneven cove]

My maternal aunt with a different mother is ginger

[hazy merlin]

Thankfully ik most of my cousins in my generation or they’re in India so 😎

[dense oriole]

@burnt osprey should I ask the one girl I like out when I’m back at school

[burnt osprey]

Yes

[strange ember]

yeah but theres gotta be more aos

[faint badger]

there are

[dense oriole]

why tho

[uneven cove]

I have this issue where I don’t like people who like me

[dense oriole]

that shits scary

[uneven cove]

And it’s really annoying

[burnt osprey]

Good for the plot

[uneven cove]

Because I may even like them first

[burnt osprey]

I need to ruin someone else’s life besides mine

[dense oriole]

Damn why me

wait

[burnt osprey]

It funny

[dense oriole]

u lowkey ruined ur friends life if u think about it, she just don’t know it yet 💀

or refuses to accept it

💀

[burnt osprey]

She loves him now not my problem

Not rlly my friend anymore from what I can tell

[dense oriole]

W?

[burnt osprey]

L my social life isn’t great rn

[dense oriole]

I’ll carry dw

[burnt osprey]

I’m too overwhelmed to focus on it so a lot of my friendships are weakening

[dense oriole]

Lowkey so relatable

[burnt osprey]

You’re easy to talk to and maintain don’t abandon me thx

[dense oriole]

idk how I feel about being told I’m easy to maintain

[burnt osprey]

You’re like a cactus

[dense oriole]

I’m not prickly

[sonic tree]

Hello

[dense oriole]

[burnt osprey]

You’re sharp and mean

[dense oriole]

Ok bye

[strange ember]

O.O

[opal silo]

hmmmmm

[supple granite]

[supple granite]

2000

[hazy merlin]

We had 13 get in but I think only 4 went

[supple granite]

[hazy merlin]

[opal silo]

10-20 for both berk and la

[hazy merlin]

Last year was about 300

[supple granite]

Bro damn what the heck bruh we only send 3 to UCLA and 3 to berk

[strange ember]

i think coastal schools are def biased towards their own coast, like my school sends 4 to penn annually but 1-2 to cal

[hazy merlin]

No one wants to go to cal

We had 4/7 people go to ucla though

[supple granite]

What 😭

[hazy merlin]

My school also isn’t competitive lol so I’m not surprised

[opal silo]

[hazy merlin]

Our last ivy was 2 years

[hazy merlin]

Decent movie

[strange ember]

[hazy merlin]

[hazy merlin]

Wdym

[strange ember]

wait as a cali kid would u choose cornell over cal engineering

[hazy merlin]

I’m not in engineering

[strange ember]

just overall then

[hazy merlin]

But if I was in state I would probably pick cal

Bc I’m not trying to pay 80k

[strange ember]

yeah i see

[hazy merlin]

To live in ithaca

I’d much rather live in Berkeley

[strange ember]

bro i cant see how cornell is better than cal tbh

cal is on top >>>

[hazy merlin]

And be 30 mins from home

And pay 35k

[strange ember]

i mean its got nice proximity

[opal silo]

no its def you @hazy merlin

no one else talks like that

[hazy merlin]

If I was oos I’d pick Cornell

[hazy merlin]

Like what

[strange ember]

whats oos

[hazy merlin]

Out of state

[strange ember]

oh

[opal silo]

bro u switched ur inflection

ik its you

[strange ember]

thats interesting

[hazy merlin]

I think 70k for cal isn’t worth it

[opal silo]

no other mod is going to upenn

[hazy merlin]

Personally

[strange ember]

wait

[opal silo]

and keegan wouldnt talk to me like that

[strange ember]

cornell is also super expensive tho

[opal silo]

or kayak

[hazy merlin]

I’m not going to upenn either

[strange ember]

cornell is like around the same tuition

[opal silo]

bruh

[hazy merlin]

What

[strange ember]

oos

[hazy merlin]

Yeah so why not go to Cornell

[strange ember]

i mean

[strange ember]

to be cal is better lmao

[opal silo]

😠

[strange ember]

at least at engineering

[true cliff]

ooooo

L opiniomn

[hazy merlin]

Someone is prob messing w you lol

Everyone is switching roles

[opal silo]

bro its YOU

[strange ember]

[opal silo]

I KNOW ITS YOU

[hazy merlin]

Bro what

I was doing my Econ hw 😭

F macro

[hazy merlin]

Private > public if we’re paying same price

[opal silo]

😠

[true cliff]

i am nt

[strange ember]

ah thats a good way to look at it

[true cliff]

penn > cal

[strange ember]

ok but cal eecs is still on top tho

way better than cornell imo

cuz promixity to da valley

[hazy merlin]

You good?

[hazy merlin]

There’s 2k people in Berk classes…

[opal silo]

im being trolled

[hazy merlin]

I think that says enough

[opal silo]

it has to be you

[hazy merlin]

By who

[strange ember]

2k in a single class?

[opal silo]

wait @hazy merlin can mods in training make their modmail display name "server moderator"

[clever path]

No

[hazy merlin]

Yes

[opal silo]

ok so its not brandon its not phlooph

its not keegan cuz he wouldnt do that to me

so its only ruby or krispee

[strange ember]

cornell is also a large asf school tho

its also got a lot of ppl per class

[true cliff]

💀 no

[bold onyx]

i know ppl in wharton who have done this

[hazy merlin]

not berk large

[strange ember]

my friends literally complain to me abt how large the cornell classes are

[bold onyx]

oh i just noticed what u meant lmao

[true cliff]

no

[strange ember]

wouldnt cal provide u with more opportunities at big techs anyway

[bold onyx]

marginal difference

[hazy merlin]

Not a huge difference

[lone marsh]

i can testify that this isn't even close to true

largest cs class is 1k students

[hazy merlin]

Ofc not every class

[hazy merlin]

One of my friends was in an intro to cs class and had 2000 people in it

Maybe it’s just the intro classes but another one of my friends said she also had 2000 people in one of hers

[lone marsh]

well they reduced the number of cs students to 100, so the classes are getting smaller starting from this year

anyhow it's the same for most unis in america

[tender kiln]

largest cs class is not necessarily the largest general class

and i also have a lot of friends who claim well over 1k ppl in their classes 😭

[hexed yarrow]

when do ED results come out

[upper zealot]

when i say

so

didnt someone say dec smth

[strange ember]

bro the wait is excrutiating

3 weeks feel like 2 months

[lone marsh]

True, but it’s not bad at all because there are so many graduate instructors and TAs

I don’t think class size is a big deal if u are good at self studying

[ember bolt]

i heard the 15th

[open slate]

first time i’ve seen a romelu lukaku profile picture

[civic cipher]

Underrated striker fr

[tender kiln]

bro

bro bro bro

he is NOT underrated 😭

biggest waste of money in history

[tranquil dagger]

id argue hazard

he lost his magic after inter

that was the last remontoda he coulda done

[tranquil dagger]

lautaro martinez rn tbh

[open slate]

gonna have to agree with dg here

[open slate]

hazard was cooking and lille and chelsea… he just got unlucky with injuries at real madrid + old age

[tranquil dagger]

no he was just ass at madrid

he was in the form of his life

cant just blatantly say that

also wasnt old

was 27-28ish

[tender kiln]

yeah but hazard only been a waste of money once

lukaku is a cumulative waste of wealth

340 million pounds spent on him over his career 😭

[open slate]

he was out of shape bud

[tranquil dagger]

he was 28 and just got europa

[tranquil dagger]

ohh yeah for sure

i thought we were talking abt single biggest flop

[open slate]

biggest flop in football is dembele imo

[civic cipher]

I was trollin y’all 😭 next time I’ll add a /s

[fringe surge]

He cookin in euro qualifiers tho

[tender kiln]

antony

but maybe i’m just biased by my united hatred

[open slate]

against actual farmers brother

[tranquil dagger]

nah thats fair

100m for his stupid spin trick

[open slate]

all he’s good at is beating women apparently

[tranquil dagger]

all utd wingers r good at

[lone marsh]

He the goat frfr

Best defender

[true cliff]

💀

[astral flicker]

I would make a Ben Franklin shrine with a crisp $100 bill front and center (because thats what it is all about at the end of the day)

[random wedge]

can you write ur thank u note to an object and not a person?

[bold onyx]

do a person

[random wedge]

why

[bold onyx]

the wording of the question heavily implies a person from what i remember

can u send so i can double check

[random wedge]

Write a short thank-you note to someone you have not yet thanked and would like to acknowledge.

nvm seems like it should be a person

[bold onyx]

[pearl ice]

Someone not something

[strange ember]

i see i have an interview assigned on my application portal but i havent received any email abt a interview date yet? should i keep waiting?

[bold onyx]

wait

[strange ember]

they must reach out to me right

not the other way around

cuz i dont even know how to contact the interviewer

[bold onyx]

yes

[strange ember]

alr

[astral flicker]

Check your spam email

[hexed frost]

^

oh and btw i’ve been lurking but wanted to send this

wait

no image perms

but i emailed upenn admissions and they said they use the common app def of first gen for applications

their weird def is only for like the school activities and stuff

if someone gives image perms i can send

[grizzled pivot]

We don’t give image perms by asking

You need to be active and you’ll automatically receive them

[hexed frost]

i wasn’t asking 💀

[grizzled pivot]

This is kinda asking

[burnt osprey]

“If someone gives” implies it

[hexed frost]

i was just saying

[grizzled pivot]

Either way you have an answer

[hexed frost]

man i was just trying to help

[grizzled pivot]

So was I

I appreciate you letting everyone know abt their response

I wasn’t trying to be harsh when mentioning the perms

But usually people tend to ask how they can receive them so I figured I’d answer while we were ahead

[sonic summit]

What are image perms?

Is that the role?

[grizzled pivot]

The ability to send images and embed links

[sonic summit]

Interesting

I have them

[strange ember]

do interviewers reach out to you most commonly thru email? or do they call u?

[bold onyx]

email usually

sometimes they do call tho

[strange ember]

oh ok

do they usually immediately contact u when they are assigned? i have no idea when my interviewer was assigned to me lmao i just saw yesterday when i checked my portal

[hexed frost]

they emailed immediately for me

[bold onyx]

no

they have lives so it might take a couple days

[hexed frost]

but that might not be everyone

[strange ember]

👍

[rotund drift]

how u get it

[hexed frost]

just check ur junk cus ik someone whose interviewer email got sent to junk

[rotund drift]

i dont remember how i got it

[bold onyx]

being active

i said it before u carly im better

[rotund drift]

oh wrd?

[bold onyx]

yea its to prevent bot raids

[strange ember]

i checked and i didnt find anything - do they email from the penn email or is it their private email?

[hexed frost]

penn email

[bold onyx]

could be either

[hexed frost]

but my person was the head of alumni stuff so that might be why

don’t stress i’m sure you’ll get jt

[strange ember]

i see, appreciate you guys 🙏

[rotund drift]

mine was personal email

dude uses yahoo.com 😂

[strange ember]

💀

[hexed frost]

[strange ember]

heyo, does anyone here know if it's possible to retract a letter of rec after it's submitted on the common app? (for RDs) asking this bc some schools im applying to actually highly recommend or even require a humanities rec but both my recommenders are STEM, and they submitted the recs already on common app

[modern breach]

You can remove recommenders

[astral flicker]

I saw my interviewers email a day or so before I saw the update in the portal

Id there confirmation they had written their report?

[hexed frost]

no, did u?

[astral flicker]

Is*

I was askinf in general

[hexed frost]

idk

i didnt get any

i dont this so?

[hexed frost]

when u submit on commonapp theyre also sent to the school

but u can prob email the admissions committee

but liek idk if thatll work

but ofc if u havent submitted u can just remove recommenders

[astral flicker]

[strange ember]

[astral flicker]

[astral flicker]

The people who I definitely don’t know the size of their grandparents farms

[strange ember]

i feel like a business degree is more for mba lol

[hexed frost]

im not getting my mba immediately

or at least planning

[astral flicker]

I hopefully wont even need an mba

[hexed frost]

ye

[faint badger]

[astral flicker]

Ohhh

[strange ember]

a broke college-applicant

[astral flicker]

Not the alphabet

[hexed frost]

paying off these app fees are gonna be a pain

its like 100 bucks a school

[astral flicker]

🤓well chechnecallu🤓

[hexed frost]

❔

[astral flicker]

Just dreading these next few weeks

[strange ember]

nah

listen

heres what gonna happen

[astral flicker]

Idk im talking out my ass rn

[strange ember]

ur gonna get deferred

and then on ivy day

u get rejected

but harvard accepts u

and u go to haarvard

[astral flicker]

Wharton>Harvard

[strange ember]

😐

[astral flicker]

Imagine going to a 2nd tier uni like that

[hexed frost]

true

harvard my safety

[strange ember]

yo

wtf is BABSON college bro

this mid ass school tryna rob wharton of 1st place

[astral flicker]

🧠💨🙃🔫 (you not me dw)

[astral flicker]

Only for entreprenuership

Ahh

Big word

[strange ember]

tf is entreprenuership as a major

sounds like someone couldn't beat wharton at business so they tried to beat it sideways

[hexed frost]

its their main focus

obv theyre gonna be good at it

like penn is very diverse w/ stuff like health

[astral flicker]

My r6 days shining through

[hexed frost]

but babson is exclusively business/entrepreneurship

[strange ember]

why is blud replying to my previous msgs

[astral flicker]

Because u cannot reply to messages that havent yet been sent, and the true present doesnt exist in some sence as the moment that is here it is left once u realize it

[astral flicker]

Also being deferred is a fate worse than death

[bold onyx]

yes

committe meetings have prolly started by now

decisions have probably been made for some people

[upper zealot]

@bold onyx haiiii

[bold onyx]

hi

[strange ember]

oh yeah @bold onyx (feel like you are p knowledgable lol) do you know if emailing university admission committees to disregard a rec my teacher submitted would work? in regards to this issue ^

[upper zealot]

Oh

What happen

That seems a rare issue

[bold onyx]

uhhh maybe but if there's a different option i would pursue that first

[strange ember]

cuz the issue is common app doesn't let you retract recs that a teacher already submitted, so i rlly dont know what options i have 💀

[civic cipher]

Wait fr? Dang

That’s scary

[sonic summit]

why so?

[bold onyx]

u already have connections you need

still might be needed if ur company wants it

[sonic summit]

like w/o good undergrad?

yeah, kinda just depends on the situation you're in

[opal silo]

fqngz: rejected

[opaque folio]

@bold onyx can i dm u a rly quick question

[bold onyx]

if u go to wharton / t10 undergrad in general

[bold onyx]

ye

[sonic summit]

yeah, makes sense

[bold onyx]

@burnt osprey how do u survive high rise wind tunnels

[burnt osprey]

Lowkey don’t walk on locust 🔥

[bold onyx]

do i go down walnut?

its so much farther tho

[sonic tree]

UPenn seems crazy

[burnt osprey]

Crazy how

[sonic tree]

It snows there apparently

[burnt osprey]

Barely lol

It was very light

[sonic tree]

And it gets below 50 degrees

[burnt osprey]

No snow on the ground

[burnt osprey]

That’s just the east coast for ya

[sonic tree]

I live on the east coast it’s like 50 rn

Gonna be mid 70s next week I love the weather here

[burnt osprey]

I think phillys like marginally colder than nyc

[sonic tree]

Unreal

[strange ember]

my interviewer texted me last night to schedule the interview and i responded saying i would be free that day, but now a day later he still didnt text back to me. should i keep waiting or text him to follow up?

[tacit ice]

follow up

[opaque folio]

how bad is the snow in general :0

like no insane amounts right

i love snow which is generally why i want to be in the east coast but DONT WANT TO GET SUBMERGED IN IT HAHA

[tacit ice]

yeah that doesnt happen in philly

[opaque folio]

ahh the weathers perfect then

[tacit ice]

maybe in like the midwest or rural new england

[opaque folio]

i saw the penn fall pictures and already in love

damn it falling more in the rabbit hole

[modern breach]

He’s probably busy you should follow up but don’t be annoying

Just give him like a friendly reminder or smtg

[strange ember]

any tips on how i can most appropriately follow up via text lol

idk what to say ;-;\

[modern breach]

What did you say last?

Or what did he say

[astral flicker]

Similar to NY, small flurry no accumulation

[astral flicker]

Never fall in love wiht something you never know is 100% yours, that is how stalkers form

[astral flicker]

What I do is always ask a "clarifying question" if I don't want to seem rude

[strange ember]

so first txt was him introducin ghimself and asking me to choose either tonight or wednesday night for a google meet, then i txted back and basically said wednesday night any time works

and he didnt respond yet

[modern breach]

Yea I think this would work best

Just maybe ask a question about what time Wednesday works best for you?

[astral flicker]

Yea^

[strange ember]

oh okay

so i dont mention folllow up or anything?

just straight up be like what time works

[astral flicker]

idts

i mean

normal seem human advice

[strange ember]

ah i see

[astral flicker]

That comes of unprofessional

[strange ember]

yeah lol idk how to best

[astral flicker]

🤖

[modern breach]

Say like, “hey hope you are doing well. I just wanted to follow up to see what time on Wednesday night works best for you. Please let me know. Thanks”

Smtg along those lines

[strange ember]

okay got it t

thanks 🙏

[modern breach]

Np

[strange ember]

@modern breach my interviewer texted me back and finally scheduled a time - thanks for the help again!

does anyone know what they ask tho usually

in an interview

[spice hearth]

there’s a few helpful guides on the penn website & if you look up “upenn interview questions” - but you shouldn’t prepare too much, they’re just trying to get to know you & you know yourself best 🙂

[modern breach]

Nice

Yea I wouldn’t prepare, you’ll probably become too nervous

Just familiarize yourself with the questions

And like a starting point for each one

But def don’t like practice then or anything

[plain wolf]

would a supplemental LOR downloaded on 11/14 be considered?

[astral flicker]

Probably

[plain wolf]

anyone in a similar situation contact the AOs about this?

[sonic tree]

I don't think I'm gonna get in

[astral flicker]

Why not?

[bold onyx]

tbf, most of you wont

[astral flicker]

You came to 6 before, correct?

Out of 150?

[bold onyx]

yea

being generous, odds are probably more like 15-20 / 150 on a2c

[opaque folio]

😨 yeah that

ITS JUST DELULU HOPE <3

[opal silo]

ok?

[strange ember]

alr gotcha

[grizzled aspen]

scary to think that my decision might have been made alr

i could be in an accept or reject pile and i wouldnt even know

[visual arch]

Do you know how they make the decisions? Is it just the two AO’s?

[analog shard]

No. It's 300 monkeys sitting in a room and typing random letters. There is a moment in time when all 300 of them type the same letter at once. Whenever that happens, the first person to submit whose name starts with that letters gets admitted. The acceptance rate is so low because it's so unlikely it'll happen

[strange ember]

i heard that it rlly helps if u send ur resume to ur interviewer before the interview - is this at least true for penn? would they actually be against this action?

[astral flicker]

You do NOT need a resume

You need nothing but yourself

They only know your name and contact info

So work from there

[pearl ice]

✅

[tawdry crystal]

Penn has a page on their website that talks about interviews

They plead kids to stop bringing resumes lmao

Interviews are just a way for the admissions office to learn a bit more about who you are as a person in a more candid setting, engage alumni in the process, and essentially sell their university to the kids applying

The admissions office already knows what you've done through your activities list

Bringing a resume to your interview is just kinda redundant, and not gonna lie if I was an interviewer and got handed a resume by a kid that'd just feel really awkward

Your goal isn't to impress your interviewer; it's to let them learn a little bit more about you and genuinely connect

[tawdry crystal]

After your readers go through your app and assuming they like it, they'll bring it to the committee for review

[sonic summit]

^

[tawdry crystal]

After that their job is essentially to pitch you as an applicant to the committee

And then the committee will make an admit, reject, or waitlist decision

That's why showing yourself as a person is so important

Because ultimately they're admitting you for more than the set of accomplishments that you put on your app

You want your reader to like you and fight for you on the committee

You want the committee to like you too

You want to make your case and show how you'd be a great contributor to the university and its community beyond your academics and awards

AOs are human after all, and so are you

[sonic summit]

^

[upper zealot]

In other words be urself and don’t be fake

[pearl ice]

In other words don't show up with a resume

[strange ember]

lol ok
