[tender kiln]

simply not true

[clever path]

Oh cali

[tender kiln]

we didnt

have any caltechs my year

[strange ember]

unless im looking at a different hs

[tender kiln]

hmm choose one point of your identity, discuss how you’ve struggled because of it, how you’ve overcome, and how you’re going to give back/engage further at penn whether though programs or clubs or events

thats how i looked at it least

[cerulean mountain]

💀

[tender kiln]

there was a caltech rea the yr above me

[strange ember]

wait what year were you

i think the blog was in 2022

[hazy merlin]

Oh wait I didn’t see it like that

I’ll definitely try to do that ty

[cerulean mountain]

i go to the early college at guilford

pretty chill over here fr

[tender kiln]

2023

someone find and dm me this blog

[strange ember]

tbh im so down to just get in hustlers

ill send in dm

[cerulean mountain]

squidward community

[strange ember]

hustlers is more prestigious imo

[night mountain]

damn i wrote about meetign someone at penn and cooking

[tender kiln]

oh lol

[strange ember]

and i can definitely get in ea since im double legacy (my brother goes there)

[tender kiln]

that was my math club co- president

i was a junior she was a senior

[strange ember]

the link i just sent u?

[tender kiln]

she goes to mit

yeah

[gray pasture]

Finished a draft for all of mine rawr

[strange ember]

[gray pasture]

[gray pasture]

I love Ezra Cornell 😻

[strange ember]

yep

[tender kiln]

yeah

[strange ember]

is he the only one

[tender kiln]

my dawg

[gray pasture]

I’ll delete this if I get rejected but it stays up for now

[tender kiln]

yeah him and me were the only ones to get into ivies

our yr

[strange ember]

oh shoot

was he usamo

[tender kiln]

no not even close lol

[strange ember]

oh wait

am i on the wrong person

[tender kiln]

he’s one of my best friends so he wouldnt mind me saying

he sucks at math

[strange ember]

wait did he do other olympiads then

[gray pasture]

Dang I didn’t struggle at all lmaoi not that that’s a bad thing

[strange ember]

i might be thinking abt the wrong person idk

[tender kiln]

no

[strange ember]

he never did olys?

[simple lance]

is this that DJ Trump school

🤨

[gray pasture]

What the hell what prompt is that

[tender kiln]

which reminds me i need to buy him the secret santa gift 💀

[tender kiln]

no

[strange ember]

wtf

do u know a guy on discord named Syntax

[tender kiln]

there was definitely some part of your identity you struggled with at some point

[tender kiln]

no

[strange ember]

ye ok different person

i guess he didnt go to ur hs lmao

[gray pasture]

Yeah but I didn’t talk about it at all 😂 but the prompt I was answering was the how will Penn shape you prompt and how will your experiences shape Penn

I think rubys prompt was different

Cuz she’s CAS

[tender kiln]

yeah which one are you

wharton?

[gray pasture]

SEAS

[tender kiln]

YESSS

look at my discord username

[strange ember]

LOL

do u mind saying what u wrote ur penn community essay on btw

as an asian in stem i feel very very bad whenever i write abt stem in my community essay 💀

[rare pendant]

i lowk j dumped five diff penn-specific activités i wanted to do and how that relates to my interests

[tender kiln]

being an immigrant (legally being on an h4 visa) till i was 17 and how that severely restricted my opportunities (cant legally work at all, no gov-related programs either) but i managed to leverage my skills to create my own opportunities and now want to give back (then listed several penn clubs centered around immigration/refugees)

[rare pendant]

and i included a couple philly associated service organizations like the philosophy for the young project or the philly writing project

[strange ember]

this sounds like a very good personal statement; was this similar to what u wrote for ur personal statement?

[gray pasture]

Someone cooked here

Shotgunner special

[tender kiln]

nah my personal statement was abt how i grew up in a really poor part of san jose with no opportunities -> eventually moved to new place with more opportunities -> fell in love with robotics -> started my npo to spread robotics -> fully funded and personally coached robotics teams in my old neighborhood in san jose

[gray pasture]

I would hope not

No use in regurgitating ur PS in supps

[tender kiln]

yeah

[strange ember]

oh cool

[faint badger]

kinda fire community essay

[strange ember]

your profile sounds very good match to mit and stanford tho, was the lack of strong awards the reason u think u didnt get into those schools? cuz u totally deserved to

[faint badger]

bruh he got into penn

idk why we're talking ab other schools

[gray pasture]

Could’ve been bad vibe 🤷‍♀️ no point in speculating over spilled water

[tender kiln]

yeah

[tender kiln]

🤷‍♂️ it’s an unpredictable business

my only B was in calc also btw so i think that significantly lowers chances at mit fwitw

in the end though i think penn was the best fit for me anyway

[strange ember]

oh was it in junior year?

[tranquil dagger]

asian male in cs and his best friend gets the best results

haha

[tender kiln]

i’m comfortably top 10% academically and that lets me pursue other shit here

[strange ember]

i would agree tho grasp lab is def rlly good

[tender kiln]

so i’m exec in 2 of the best clubs on campus already (starting my term next sem) and have lab researxh here too

[strange ember]

oh which two clubs?

[hazy merlin]

Oh dang

[tender kiln]

hack4impact (main cs club) and daily pennsylvanian

[hazy merlin]

Exploring community at Penn

[hazy merlin]

Wait dg can I dm you an isea

[strange ember]

yo if i get in im tryna join hack4impact fr

[hazy merlin]

WWW

[tender kiln]

yeah

[gray pasture]

Just be like “I know the exec” wink wink

[bold onyx]

venmo me $500 and i will have dg nepo u in

[tender kiln]

and overall i love the whole work hard play hard culture and social scene its great

[strange ember]

dg how advanced were ur hs classes btw? ik a lot of bay ppl take calc bc in soph 💀

[tender kiln]

i’m joining a frat and atuff too

works so well

[bold onyx]

more accurate than you'd think lol

[tender kiln]

mines were not

[strange ember]

ill slide in my credit card number

[tender kiln]

just our math curriculum was incredibly hard lol

[gray pasture]

I flip flop between wanting to be in a sorority and no to the hell no

[strange ember]

when did u take calc?

[bold onyx]

sorority rushing is crazy

[gray pasture]

Don’t freak me out

I’ll cross that bridge when I get there

[tender kiln]

junior yr

[bold onyx]

its like, reallyyyyyy crazy at some sororities

[gray pasture]

I tried searching it up but got a bunch of “greek life is the devil” videos 😂

[tender kiln]

the sorority process here is actually wild

[bold onyx]

dg have u heard tabard rush stuff

its INSANE lmao

[tender kiln]

tabard and oax

both wild

[strange ember]

my school doesnt let u take bc until senior 😔

[tender kiln]

thats fine i just took ap stats senr yr

so not any further in math

[strange ember]

oo

im lowkey having a B in physics c rn, rlly hope this wont fuck up my apps 😭

[tender kiln]

first sem grades dont rly matter

[strange ember]

how so?

[soft delta]

This is not gonna screw u over

A B in physics C is perfectly fine

[true cliff]

insta reject

[soft delta]

Gpa of less than 4.1 unweighted? Get outta here

[true cliff]

[cerulean mountain]

[plain wolf]

or only SAT scores

[astral flicker]

Only SAT

Idek if they look at ap

Wasent in common app they took

[soft delta]

Ap is in commonapp u gotta look harder

[burnt osprey]

It does not show in the preview for common app, no

[pearl ice]

Hello pencil state!!

[gray pasture]

we need new material from u man penn state is overdone

[pearl ice]

Uh I like to reuse content..

[cerulean mountain]

bro it’s actually boutta be over

[bold onyx]

next year freshman are lucky as fuck

they get all of lauder and hella space in gutman

[tough rivet]

when are acceptances for upeen

[subtle sparrow]

Soon

[astral flicker]

thanks ikik (in so nervous lmao)

[astral flicker]

Some time next week

I just know rn im either in or not

or

if they sent me to purgatory

ill be pissed

bc im likely to do ed2

and if that goes through

then ima have too many "what ifs"

but

That's out of my control

[plain wolf]

where are you guys seeing the AP scores on your commonapp preview?

[faint badger]

penn doesnt show

[upper zealot]

MO WAY

LETS GO

THATS CLASS OF ‘29 righttt

[astral flicker]

let us get in first y'know

[upper zealot]

Well I’m not interfering with ur acceptance rn

[silk fossil]

poop

[bold onyx]

28

29 will prolly have different dorm arrangements since a new part quad will be under renovation

[upper zealot]

oh

what

[hybrid skiff]

I hecking love penn sate

[pearl ice]

Real shit apparently

[astral flicker]

what do they mean by that

[ember bolt]

omg this is reminding me of that show pen15

[tender kiln]

stanford duke and penn state is a crazy triplet

[tender kiln]

no way freshmen get guttman

bro i want guttman

i think they’ll probably just give freshmen the other gregory

[astral flicker]

Do any of the Penn students here participate in some dual degree program (coordinated or not)?

[bold onyx]

check email

[bold onyx]

nah no one here does afaik

[tender kiln]

man

lucky bastards

[soft delta]

Does that mean more spots

[astral flicker]

No

[pearl ice]

Yes (Hopium)

[warm shard]

Is the second prompt a why us and community essay all in one with only 200 words max

[strange ember]

yep

[lean quiver]

technically all of their questions are why us mixed in

[warm shard]

I can see two and three but not one rly

[cerulean mountain]

guys

[astral flicker]

yes?

[prisma timber]

I think one of the questions is more why major/school while the other is why us but in a community/culture aspect

thats how I interpreted them

[cerulean mountain]

wait guys

i think it might be over

the fights over

[open slate]

wdym

[astral flicker]

Yea wdym

[astral flicker]

What is it?

[cerulean mountain]

guess who got matched through qb

[astral flicker]

Really?!

[delicate linden]

is this the state school?

[astral flicker]

The best part is this is likely a genuine question lmao

[stoic owl]

i thought those came out days ago, are they still coming out?

[delicate linden]

look at my tags

i j want to fck w emree

[cerulean mountain]

jk gang i wish

we cant afford application fees but we not broke enough to be in qb

fee waivers comin in clutch tho

[astral flicker]

I just LOVE how fafsa changed recently and no longer includes twins/siblings in need based aid. At almost all colleges (exept ivies) i get nothing more than a giant middle finger

[prisma timber]

does it count as first gen if ur parents got their degrees from diff country and they moved here

i think for upenn it does

[hazy merlin]

For UPenn yes

Columbia and ucla too

[warm shard]

Bazinga 😜😜

[prisma timber]

does that even mean anything though, esp if we were basically raised here?

would it give me a boost

[hazy merlin]

I mean considerably more people will be considered first gen so I doubt

[bold onyx]

nto for admissions

once ur in then u can count urself as first gen

but in the admissions process if ur parents went to college u are not considered first generation

[sonic summit]

What if it wasn't a 4 year and was in a different country

[ember bolt]

do yall think pulling out my request for financial aid would give me more of a chance of getting in?

😭

[opaque marsh]

wont they have decided already?

[ember bolt]

if they decided alr then shouldnt they have just given the decision? idk i always assumed they worked till the last minute on decisions but maybe thats dumb lol

[analog shard]

the committee decides -> they prolly have someone to put it in a spreadsheet and then they need to automate the decision letters or some shit idk

[true cliff]

is this shit coming out dec 14 or 15

[astral flicker]

No, they are need blind

[opaque marsh]

ed people, did you guys sumbit a resume? if so, how many pages did u do?

[ember bolt]

i didnt bcz my resume is literally just my activities list and i didnt wanna be repetitive

i did submit an additional applicant update though, where i talked about how i had part time jobs since i couldnt fit that on common app

[spice hearth]

I submitted my resume - just one page though

[faint badger]

idk but we’ll know td or tmr

[sonic summit]

oh my

[modern breach]

So if the email doesn’t come today then it’s not the 14th?

[tender kiln]

[true cliff]

oh okay

[bold onyx]

[tender kiln]

[faint badger]

They announced?

[cerulean mountain]

blud said “They announced?” 💀

[faint badger]

what about it

theyre supposed to release the date td or tmr

[astral flicker]

how large are most people's social circles at penn?

[bold onyx]

uhhh idk you can't really generalize that

its no different from any other school lol

well any other similar school

its probably different at some LACs since theyre usually super small

but the difference between colleges isnt as big as people think imo

[strange ember]

bro lowkey i think 15th is better - would suck to go to school on friday feeling down

[astral flicker]

yeah I don't need to walk into school on friday feeling like king shit after my acceptane 😎

[cerulean mountain]

dude if its the 14th and i dont get in im just not coming to school friday

and idk man ive been becoming real superstitious abt everything recently

like everything i do i think oh thisll make them reject me

[astral flicker]

Thats what ed is

[cerulean mountain]

yea did u see the reddit post where that guy organized marches in ukraine

and got a rec letter form zelensky

idk how exxagerated that is but if its true then its over for us

[astral flicker]

What about inciting a rebellion? is that as good? I only am overthrowing a government and not really forming one from scratch 🥲

[astral flicker]

Aint no fucking way

[cerulean mountain]

upenn values thinking outside the box!

[strange ember]

well there are ppl who got rec from xi jinping

[astral flicker]

didnt penn get in hot water for donos from ccp?

or something like that?

idk I feel like a rec from zelensky (other than like xi or the prince of saudi arabia, bc those imply $$$) is hard to top. That and like kim jong un gotta be the best

[cerulean mountain]

fr

but who out here getting letters from kim jong un

are we sure results come out on thursday

[rotund drift]

No

[faint badger]

my dads leaving his meeting early and flying back home to open w me LOL

[cerulean mountain]

wish i had parents like that fr

im gonna go watch college acceptance reactions so i can be delusional and think i have a chance too

[astral flicker]

This whole process is making me religious tho lmao

the ao's are my gods
accepted my heaven, deferral my hell

I can deal with rejection

[ember bolt]

aw thats so cute

[hot hearth]

so true

[visual arch]

brown emailed today

they said dec 15th 6 pm

for them

[cerulean mountain]

penn is probably either thursday or friday as well

[echo cargo]

I rather it be a Friday, in case of rejection

[cerulean mountain]

i rathre be on thrusday

thursday

bc either way i skip on friday

either to celebrate or mourn

[hot hearth]

i don’t have school Friday 🫡

[waxen mauve]

can anyone show me what their portal looks like? i submitted using my questbridge app so the date at which they recieved it shows the date of the qb deadline except for my teacher rec?? im worried that it accidentally sent my counselor report instead of my second teacher's letter of rec ...

like all the dates match up except for that 2nd reccomendation and that was submitted with the qb app so why isnt the date the same as the first rec letter?? ik that for qb i had my 2 teachers and a school counselor report that were sent in before oct 19

[tawdry crystal]

Here's what I have for my QB app

That's odd but it shouldn't be an issue

Your Counselor LOR is with the school report

So that probably is just your teacher rec

[waxen mauve]

ohh okok im just stressing out cus is IK they sent it in with the qb app so whats with the date?

[tawdry crystal]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

If you're really worried you can email Penn's admissions office but I doubt you'll have any issues

[cerulean mountain]

wait how come some ppl have the early decision agreement but other ppl dont

[tawdry crystal]

I didn't do ED

My app's on RD now

[cerulean mountain]

but why would that mean you dont have an ed agreement

does that mean you turned in less documents

[tawdry crystal]

Why would I have an ED agreement for RD 😭

[cerulean mountain]

huh

good question

oh so now u change ur question

[tawdry crystal]

Besides iirc the ED agreement is covered by the QB Match agreement

[cerulean mountain]

wait so why dont u have an ed agreement tho

oh wait cuz ur not ed nvm im a little slow sometimes

[tawdry crystal]

💀

Seriously though my app got moved from QB Match to RD since I matched with MIT, which is nonbinding

[cerulean mountain]

wait a minute why the heck would an rd applicant have an ed agreement

what kind of dumb ahh question is that

[tawdry crystal]

[tawdry crystal]

Penn never sent me an email saying that they did the switch, they just did it and the change appeared on my portal

Penn ghosting me fr

[cerulean mountain]

its alr u can settle for mit

[strange ember]

dont worry, i have the same thing; i applied qb initially. i emailed them and they said they received my common app

[cerulean mountain]

wait guys

[waxen mauve]

wait what? i submitted to penn with my qb app tho. did u do both qb and common app?

[strange ember]

[subtle sparrow]

[soft delta]

before opening

guaranteed boost of 25%

[spice hearth]

[supple granite]

I already know its going to be a rejection but like that 1% hope for a miracle is still in me

[ember bolt]

i say it irl all the time

[hot harbor]

I used to think I would never believe in portal astrology

[gray pasture]

Well you shouldn’t

No portal astrology discussion please

[hot harbor]

😭

[sonic tree]

the stars align with ur mom, instant acceptance

[opal silo]

upenn rejected me, does that mean i got accepted

[vagrant grotto]

DEC 14 @7pm 💀

[strange ember]

SAME

[waxen mauve]

RHEJFKHFJKSEFJE

i cant think

[hot harbor]

Is it true that seas acceptance rate is lowest out of all for schools

[lean quiver]

trust

[hot harbor]

cuz if it is im over

[strange ember]

yes

[gray pasture]

Lmao now you guys got a time but you’re even more stressed 😂

[lean quiver]

NOOOOO

[hot harbor]

literally....

[lean quiver]

MY PUBLIC ATTEMPTS TO RUIN THE COMMUNITY

[vagrant grotto]

LMAO I’m scared

[gray pasture]

It’s Penn regardless. So…

[hot harbor]

🤞

[vagrant grotto]

Portal astrology 😅

[lean quiver]

stop

thats unhealthy

i was trolling

[vagrant grotto]

HAHAHA

[hot hearth]

RIGHT like just send the results 🙏

[hot hearth]

isn’t it Wharton?

that person is so gonna be rejected

lmao

[vagrant grotto]

Take one for the team

[astral flicker]

how is seas lower than wharton?

[hot harbor]

i saw someone saying seas has lower acceptance rate than wharton on college confidential so i freaked out idk if im right tho

[astral flicker]

god

why the agony

[vagrant grotto]

SEND IT TO US ALREADYYY

[astral flicker]

its a 0 or a 1

just lemme know

smh

[gray pasture]

They’re both low AF anyhow don’t worry yourself over nothing

[hot harbor]

yup alr

[strange ember]

bc seas is harder to get in

[hot harbor]

50% chance of getting in

[strange ember]

that simple

[astral flicker]

Im just surpised

[strange ember]

engineering is more rigorous

[astral flicker]

ik

[gray pasture]

This is how Imma be in my stats classes LOL

[astral flicker]

And you cant even tell me that it isn't, maybe over 90% of applicants just get really unlucky

[vagrant grotto]

Anybody in here get a likely letter? Does UPenn even send one of those

[hot harbor]

not for non recruited ed applicants

[vagrant grotto]

Shi

[astral flicker]

I am a menace in my stats class 💀 I gaslight some kid into thinking that the odds were in his favor to play to lottory

[vagrant grotto]

How many athletes do they recruit a year

[astral flicker]

anywhere from 1-2400

[vagrant grotto]

💀

[waxen mauve]

this girl in my school applied ed and her dad went there and her sister is there rn

[vagrant grotto]

Your frixked

[hot harbor]

jeez the legacy

[vagrant grotto]

Nah I’m playing

Always have hope

[hot harbor]

i dont think penn has a set quota

[vagrant grotto]

And start researching your safeties LMAO

[astral flicker]

Statistics of admission are not your odds of admission

so

[gray pasture]

Why would they send likely letters for ED

[astral flicker]

you never know

[hot harbor]

if yall are both good enough it will take both of u

[astral flicker]

yeah fr

[waxen mauve]

🙏🏼🙌

[astral flicker]

the kids already are dying to go

like

[gray pasture]

You’re basically binded to em already if j get in ED

[vagrant grotto]

How many ED apps do they get a year

[gray pasture]

Likelies are for top applicants in RD who they want to entice over

[vagrant grotto]

And how many do they accept

[astral flicker]

I can genuinly say penn is a school where there isn't a single doubt in my mind about attending (maybe also stanford)

[gray pasture]

Cuz you’re likely to like the first school giving you positive news in a special way

[astral flicker]

Not realeased, anywhere from 0-100000

[vagrant grotto]

Avg

[hot harbor]

last year they got 7794 from the cds

[astral flicker]

Yeah

[vagrant grotto]

CDs?

[astral flicker]

Im suprised they didnt post "record number of ed applicants" though I do assume there was

[hot harbor]

and since commonapp early applications increased by 10% i will also multiply that by 1.1 to get this years?

[hot harbor]

common dataset

[hybrid skiff]

nope

duke went up by way more than 10% iirc

[astral flicker]

I wonder how much of the applicant pools are academicalyl qualified, non-international, and also the breakdown for each school

[lean quiver]

guys whatever u think u know about college admissions, u dont

[hybrid skiff]

it could've only went up a little bit or by a lot

[hot harbor]

i think they will only post it on the rejection letters ;-;

[astral flicker]

but nooo, they dont like to give us data like crack

[lean quiver]

u know literally nothing about the stats

u are not qualified nor should be calculating tehse things

[astral flicker]

Damn, hope they include that on my acceptance letter too 🙏

[hybrid skiff]

well it definitely went up

that's not a question

[hot hearth]

I know a girl in my school who got into penn junior yr

[hybrid skiff]

you dont need any sort of qualification to know that

[hot harbor]

fr dude

we got this

[lean quiver]

oh true

im not denying that

[stoic owl]

damn they really waited until exactly a week before

[vagrant grotto]

Do they ever waitlist ED

[lean quiver]

but how much is not smth u can know

at all

[hybrid skiff]

yep

it could be way less than 10 or way more

[astral flicker]

Didnt a school not have a highest ever ed pool?

[spice hearth]

No only deferral, acceptance, or rejection

[ember bolt]

not wl but deferred yuh

[astral flicker]

no its a defferal not a waitlist

[spice hearth]

Waitlist is only for RD

[vagrant grotto]

Hopefully the penn controversy had some people pull out

[vagrant grotto]

How many get instant rejected

[astral flicker]

honestly playing the admissions game, same

[hot hearth]

what controversy

[ember bolt]

LMFAO i was thinking tht too

[gray pasture]

Why does this matter

[astral flicker]

Hard to discuss without breaking a rule

[gray pasture]

Insta reject /late round reject r all the same

[ember bolt]

mcgill’s hearing thts all i can say lol

[astral flicker]

but, lets just say a lot of remarks about the current conflict in palestine

[vagrant grotto]

Fair enough. But I would rather be deferred first

[astral flicker]

Why? Deferred is torture

[hot hearth]

Exactly^

[hot harbor]

it gives me the drive to perfect my rd apps

[waxen mauve]

but u have another chance

[astral flicker]

Then you have to send a letter of continue interest, apply to all the rd apps, and then consider applying ed2 somewhere else

[hot hearth]

oh truee

[astral flicker]

Like

[gray pasture]

Eh you do the same with rejected anyhow

[vagrant grotto]

This guys got it

[gray pasture]

I can see why people prefer deferred to rejected

[ember bolt]

i’d prefer deferred then flat out reject

[gray pasture]

Cuz there’s still hope

[astral flicker]

the most notable benefit to me of applying ed is being able to work on scholarships

[vagrant grotto]

What is a letter of continued interest

[ember echo]

UPenn j emailed abt decision date

[astral flicker]

but mainly the ed2 contemplation

[hot harbor]

and i think they said last year the acceptance rate for deferred applicants was around 10% so still higher than rd in general

[astral flicker]

Like, you know penn was thinking about you, but now want to play the admissions game somwhere else

[hot harbor]

to tell penn u still love them

[ember bolt]

imma defs ed 2 to emory if i get rejected from penn

[astral flicker]

ima do Stern (part of hundreds of if not thousands lol)

but like, no need 😎

[ember bolt]

😭

[hybrid skiff]

gah damn is everyone here wharton

[astral flicker]

I only counted like 4 idk

[gusty notch]

anyone applying for huntsman?

[waxen mauve]

i did huntsman!

[subtle sparrow]

i am applying to seas

[gusty notch]

what language did you choose?

[hot harbor]

me 2

[waxen mauve]

chinese mandarin

wbu

[subtle sparrow]

i applied m&t but i got no chance 💀

[gusty notch]

german :>

hey are u guys fluent in the target-language?

[waxen mauve]

i speak it at home so kinda but i have no proper grammar at all

[gusty notch]

is this one the most competitive? (i mean among 4 dual degree programs)

[subtle sparrow]

i think yeah but idk

[hot harbor]

i think so?

they get the most applicants im fairly sure

[gusty notch]

oh so basically you can speak but cannot write properly?

[subtle sparrow]

when i visited they made it sound like it

[gusty notch]

yeah i think so too

[hybrid skiff]

i didnt apply to M&T cuz i feel like an engineering degree with a business one isnt gonna do stuff

[gusty notch]

i personally think there are not many ppl applying for huntsman like it sounded

[waxen mauve]

i can speak and write but like the way i speak is very slang-y?

[hybrid skiff]

which dual degree is huntsman

[hot harbor]

cas + wharton

[gusty notch]

oh okay ~ cuz some of my friends are the same

[hybrid skiff]

is anyone doing viper

[spice hearth]

are u fluent in German? I’m from Germany :p

[astral flicker]

i would have done m&t but seas doesnt have matb

[hot harbor]

damn why is everyone here applying to dual degrees

[hybrid skiff]

lowkey i kinda wanna do LSM but i dont have any experience in business

[waxen mauve]

what?? the email of the decision date?

everyone gets that

[gusty notch]

lmao i have studied german for just 1 year. I came to switzerland to study IB and German is my curriculum =)) I am barely B1

[gusty notch]

it's nice tho ~

[spice hearth]

ah okay. still super cool tho!!

[gusty notch]

I already visited most of the cities in Germany haha ~ btw which school did u apply for?

[spice hearth]

Have you been to Düsseldorf? I applied to CAS for health & societies :))

[gusty notch]

yeah i was there for one week in August ~ I will never forget Düsseldorf cuz I missed my last train there (well DB cancelled + delayed so I missed a lot of train connections in between) => I had to sleep at the train station =))

[spice hearth]

omg 😭😭 DB is literally always delayed or cancelled tbh

[gusty notch]

lmao so sorry but that's the fact =))

[cerulean mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/jose-mourinho-ssh-manchester-united-mufc-shush-gif-10178656

[spice hearth]

[open slate]

thursday or wednesday

[echo cargo]

broo its too close

[open slate]

i’m literally going to MNF that week so atleast it’ll soften the blow

[echo cargo]

its so embarrasing, then people gonna be asking when i go to school

[open slate]

yeah

[supple granite]

Is it a tradition or something to release on dec 14

I feel like most schools are doing that

[cunning galleon]

Penn confirmed 14th

[true cliff]

[cunning galleon]

oh god

[cerulean mountain]

shiii mb forgot to change that

[night mountain]

the temptation to act as a counselor and call for results is

staggering

[strange ember]

HAHA

[night mountain]

i could beg my counselor to do that but idk if that's gonna go well hence

[cerulean mountain]

wait a minute

can u actually do that

in my interview

my alumni

repeatedly said

"when you get to penn"

WHEN

do u think

[astral flicker]

no

[cerulean mountain]

they alr had my decision then

and im in

[astral flicker]

penn interviews are non-evaluative and conducted by aluimnis who have 0 relation to ao's

[echo cargo]

i mean

this might sound delulu

[astral flicker]

just positive mental thinking

[strange ember]

i still wonder how its possible they are non evaluative cuz they write up a report to the aos

[ember bolt]

WAIT THATS A THING?

[night mountain]

maybe???

[echo cargo]

but ive been seeing upenn stuff everytime i go out

[night mountain]

i know a shit ton of private schools do that

[echo cargo]

[night mountain]

hence

[astral flicker]

yall gonna get acceptances recinded before we even get them 💀

[strange ember]

LOL

[ember bolt]

[strange ember]

[echo cargo]

or maybe its because i live in phildelphia

[night mountain]

i would but yk

[night mountain]

LMFAO that's why

[ember bolt]

[night mountain]

[ember bolt]
