[wraith pebble]

I love how toxic this environment is

Yea

[sonic tree]

its not toxic ur just making it toxic

jk college apps suck

[wraith pebble]

I agree

[sonic tree]

jus makes it worse

[wraith pebble]

It's def gotten more competitive after covid

Way more

[sonic tree]

yea so many more tryhards

[wraith pebble]

Like there's a reason why Penn hit record applicants last year

It's going to keep increasing prob

I don't think at an exponential rate tho

[sonic tree]

upenn interviewer said theres gonna be a lot more applicants in ED I think he gave me a number actually

[wraith pebble]

@sonic tree

U as well bro, praying for all of us

[echo cargo]

So say someone who applies but doesnt have the AP and resources to make out as a competitive candidate. Wouldn't college note thats as they wont be able to be competent to the their curriculum. Because I feel like even if you got a high gpa, if your from a less opportunistic background they wont really want you since theres much qualified people. in summary, I'm confessing my own predicament.

[wraith pebble]

Basically, they take in account how rigorous your high school is. If your high school does not offer a lot of opportunities, then chances are that they might be more understanding.

[dark totem]

can please everyone check if the microsoft file is gone now?

[wraith pebble]

Yea I'll check

Yea it's gone

@dark totem

[dark totem]

thanks bro, now im more scared

[wraith pebble]

[dark totem]

thru the inspection of the site the file said "pre-ed video"

[wraith pebble]

There's no video when you get accepted

It's just a letter filled with confetti

[dark totem]

[wraith pebble]

There’s nice chill people wverywhere

Many schools have tons of resources

[vagrant grotto]

cuz ur pfp both red

💀

[upper zealot]

huh

[burnt osprey]

I got deferred from Columbia so not a hard rejection either

[ember bolt]

sorry i just look like ice spice

[upper zealot]

oh that means u get moved to rd right

[burnt osprey]

Yeah

[wraith pebble]

which app did u pour ur soul in

[burnt osprey]

Got rejected after that but whatever

[burnt osprey]

I’d say Columbia, after that I sort of half assed my essays

It got formulaic

[wraith pebble]

um

[burnt osprey]

Columbia essays were the only ones that were truly personal to me

[wraith pebble]

what bout penn then

[burnt osprey]

Since I’m a lot more familiar with Columbia and have a stronger connection to it

[upper zealot]

how?

[ember bolt]

honestly i wrote my penn essays first then copy pasted them and replaced words for every single one of my colleges 💀

[upper zealot]

💀

[burnt osprey]

I did my RD supps in alphabetical order so I didn’t spend much time on Penn’s

I just took supps for Columbia and reworked them

[wraith pebble]

did you get in any other t20 bedies penn

[burnt osprey]

I grew up in the neighborhood and attended their elementary and middle school

[burnt osprey]

No, I was waitlisted at a ton though

[upper zealot]

ah i c

[burnt osprey]

I got into Williams college if that counts

[wraith pebble]

that might be me

shotgunning

[tranquil dagger]

At a lot of t20s right?

[burnt osprey]

Yeah

[tranquil dagger]

Was it ur essays then

[upper zealot]

thats still craazy

[tranquil dagger]

If u were that good

[wraith pebble]

so like 3.6 isn't the end of the world

[burnt osprey]

I got waitlisted/deferred at 4 ivies

[tranquil dagger]

Sheeesh

[upper zealot]

kayak all im saying is it was ur destiny to be at penn

[burnt osprey]

Deferred MIT and norhh th eastern

[tranquil dagger]

Deferred mit is insane

[burnt osprey]

Most of my other reaches were waitlists like NYU Barnard etc

[tranquil dagger]

Didnt u have a low gpa

[wraith pebble]

but like mine is 3.5 💀 kayak how should I be optimistic

[burnt osprey]

Low is relative

[burnt osprey]

I mean you can’t fix it so don’t think about it

That’s what I did

[upper zealot]

yall gotta stop shitting on ppl and then trying to hide that with some compliments

💀

[burnt osprey]

I’m used to it

[upper zealot]

sorry for that

[burnt osprey]

I used to get crazy dms when I was a mod here

[tranquil dagger]

Oh I see I meant in context of t20 admissions

[upper zealot]

i dont believe anyone deserves to get told these stupid shit

[burnt osprey]

About how “inspirational” my low stats and shitty ECs were

[wraith pebble]

I don't think I'll get in ED with a 3.5

[upper zealot]

bro these type of ppl fucking make me wanna kill them

[wraith pebble]

but who knows

[upper zealot]

bitch ass insensitive mfs

[wraith pebble]

maybe the stars will align

[upper zealot]

can't believe u got these dms actual disgusting fr

😭

[burnt osprey]

I mean kids here are just kids lmao

[wraith pebble]

why do you have let me down slowly on repeat

[burnt osprey]

And massive nerds often with minimal social skills

[upper zealot]

imagine being salty over other ppls acceptance to the point where u gotta shit on others to make urself feel better

[wraith pebble]

hey, u deserved to get into penn

[upper zealot]

im tryna be top 10 fan

[wraith pebble]

end of the story

[burnt osprey]

Meh

Idk

[wraith pebble]

they don't tell you who you are

[upper zealot]

yeah stupid ppl annoying mfs

[wraith pebble]

ur a beautiful human being

[burnt osprey]

It doesn’t feel like an accomplishment anymore because I truly don’t know what got me in

[upper zealot]

i say its bc of u

not bc of any particular sectino of ur app

but rather bc urself

[wraith pebble]

I hope its gonna come down to the essays that get me in

[burnt osprey]

Those scales are out of 6

[upper zealot]

oh wait do u get these after u get in for a couple of years?

[burnt osprey]

You can request them

[dusky carbon]

is that the ferpa?

[ember bolt]

so like when you got off from the waitlist, how long did it take? like did you hear back in like june?

[upper zealot]

right after u get accepted?

[burnt osprey]

Nah you have to matriculate

[upper zealot]

@wraith pebble to answer ur question i have 24k min with alec benjamin and played let me down slowly 8k times

[burnt osprey]

I got in in May

[wraith pebble]

💀

[upper zealot]

i was only top 0.001%

i could do better

[upper zealot]

whats this again

[burnt osprey]

Commit to the school and start attending

[wraith pebble]

how did u go from a 3.6 to 3.78 in one year

im curious

[upper zealot]

oh i c

[burnt osprey]

I honestly think it was an error

But my GPA did go up

Since I got As

[wraith pebble]

um

is it ok if i showed like

[burnt osprey]

A lot of my poor grades came from 9th and 10th

[wraith pebble]

up down up down trend

😭

[burnt osprey]

I mean

Who am I to say

And what can you do about it

[ember bolt]

wild stats

[upper zealot]

@burnt osprey wait is it weird to be shit at stem bc ur bad at tests but ur also applying for business at penn

like im absolutely horrendous in physics

[wraith pebble]

it's kinda ironic I said this bc part of my essay had "up. down. up. down" in it

💀

[upper zealot]

math its like it could be much better i just make stupid ass mistakes every test

[burnt osprey]

I mean it isn’t optimal but it’s better than being bad at stem and applying to stem

[burnt osprey]

Yeah May 6th

[wraith pebble]

kayak could I plz slide into pm rq and show you my essays for penn and u lmk if they are better than urs

[upper zealot]

true would u say it could make or break it?

or prob not

[burnt osprey]

I donut have time I fear

Also I can’t say if they’re better than mine lmaooo

[wraith pebble]

it tkaes like 5 mins

[ember bolt]

did you submit any additional info or loci’s?

[wraith pebble]

please

[burnt osprey]

I think I used mine to explain some acronyms

[upper zealot]

💀 better than urs

[dusky carbon]

how was your housing situation if you got accepted in may? does penn allocate some for waitlist accept?

[burnt osprey]

It’s peak finals season bruh

[upper zealot]

dude

u could have word it a lot better

[wraith pebble]

e

[upper zealot]

how tf do u guys intentionally undermine other ppl accomplishment

[burnt osprey]

Housing wasn’t finalized until like June or so so I was fine

[wraith pebble]

do they have a section for essays

[burnt osprey]

I got into a good dorm I’d say

[wraith pebble]

like when they review

ur shit

[burnt osprey]

Not one of the popular ones but a nice one

[burnt osprey]

Wdym

[wraith pebble]

like the 3 4 3 u sent

[ember bolt]

also for your first year, how many roommates did you have?

[wraith pebble]

the rating

[burnt osprey]

Nope

[burnt osprey]

1, most people live in double dorms

[wraith pebble]

so do essays play a big part in your admissions

😭

[burnt osprey]

Yes ofc

[upper zealot]

prob

[wraith pebble]

ok good

[upper zealot]

its holistic for a reason

[burnt osprey]

You prob just can’t judge them with a numerical scale

[rotund drift]

are there co ed dorms

[wraith pebble]

cuz i poured my soul into them

[burnt osprey]

Yeah

[upper zealot]

how do co ed dorms work

[burnt osprey]

You can opt into co ed if you want

Unless you’re under 18 then your parent needs to agree

[wraith pebble]

do you have to live on campus first year

[burnt osprey]

My parents didn’t agree my freshman year lol

[burnt osprey]

Yes and sophomore

[wraith pebble]

um

e

[ember bolt]

wait fr??

[burnt osprey]

Most if not all dorm buildings are coed, floors are generally mixed gender. Usually though the individual rooms or suites will match gender

[hot harbor]

can you live in upperclass dorms if ur a soph or do u have to be a junior at least

[burnt osprey]

Most dorms are either freshmen only, sophs - seniors only, or all four years

So yeah upper class dorms include sophs

[hot harbor]

ohhh ic

[ember bolt]

is it looked down on to dorm as an upperclassman?

[burnt osprey]

No

No one carws

Rent in Philly is crazy anyway

[ember bolt]

idk i just ask because like at usf and utampa ive toured and everyone ive asked has been like “why tf are you a senior wanting to dorm?” im tryin to dorm all four years 😭

[burnt osprey]

Oh lmao

Idk

Doesn’t rlly exist here at least

There’s pros and cons to both

[strange ember]

hey kayakie

can i ask u abt

how u felt directly before u opened the penn decision 💀

[burnt osprey]

Uh

I was shocked lmao

[strange ember]

im highkey scared bro

were u not expecing to get in at all?

[burnt osprey]

I had just gotten rejected from the Yale waitlist like the day before

So I like obviously had zero expectations going in

It was a random morning

I had slept in and missed my physics exam

I was panicking and emailing my@physics professor an excuse

And then the email just pops up

And I open it like fully not anticipating anything

[strange ember]

wait doesnt it come out ivy day?

or was it penn waitlist

[hot harbor]

holy shit that sounds phenomenal

[burnt osprey]

I got in off waitlist

[strange ember]

sheesh

[burnt osprey]

I’d already mentally committed to Williams

[strange ember]

thats wild bro

[burnt osprey]

So like I wasn’t depressed or nothing

Just like

Neutral

[hot harbor]

may i ask how u were feeling before u opened ur columbia decisions

[burnt osprey]

And then the fucking confetti lmfaoo

[strange ember]

did u reflect why u got so many waitlists cuz im curious too

[strange ember]

pop off 😭

[burnt osprey]

Prob my gpa ngl

[wraith pebble]

see 3.5 gpa might not be the end of the world

[strange ember]

oh what was it

[burnt osprey]

It sucked tho bc no one was home and all my friends were taking a physics exam lmao

I didn’t have anyone to celebrate with for the first few hours

[burnt osprey]

Iirc I believe I opened them@on the train home from school

By myself

And I was honestly just ecstatic not to get rejected

[strange ember]

😢

[burnt osprey]

No one from my hs got into Columbia Ed so I didn’t really care

[upper zealot]

😭 kayak i swear every letter you got was opened at some random event or occasion

its not even at home or whatever

[hot harbor]

damn idk im so stressed rn

[upper zealot]

its just like at different places

[burnt osprey]

Lmao I have zero patience

[upper zealot]

thats so funny

[burnt osprey]

I got my Williams acceptance in my bf’s car after a date

[ember bolt]

how do you even celebrate a college acceptance? maybe im just built different but like every acceptance ive gotten ive just been like 😐 wow 😐 i got into ucf 😐 so excited 😐

so like what do you do to celebrate smth like that lol

[wraith pebble]

lets say if the last time someone from my school that got into upenn was a decade ago, would I have a chance

[burnt osprey]

Was crazy

[wraith pebble]

💀

[upper zealot]

💀

[burnt osprey]

I could not tell you

[upper zealot]

💀 maybe the fact that shit paid off and at least ur getting into a university with good quaity education

idk about ucf cost tho

[burnt osprey]

I mean I wasn’t the type to cry or scream or whatever I’d just smile stupidly and tell my parents

[upper zealot]

u give me the vibes of mark zuuckerberg when he looked at his harvard acceptance

[burnt osprey]

But yeah I only rlly was emotionally invested in Columbia after that I didn’t really care thattt much

[upper zealot]

ur prob like no way thats crazy continues to do whatever u were doing

[burnt osprey]

Lmaoooo idk

I mean I do get excited

[ember bolt]

no im not saying im like ungrateful im just sayin like what are you supposed to do like wht is the typical reaction lol

[burnt osprey]

The happiness just isn’t forever

[hot harbor]

did u start ur rd essays after the deferral

[strange ember]

@burnt osprey how about for columbia ed tho? before u opened the letter were u expecting a lowkey acceptance? 👀 i needa prepare for penn ed 😭

[upper zealot]

yes be grateful and idk celebrate it however u want

[wraith pebble]

Did u have any good awards or not a all

[burnt osprey]

Nah I’d already began a bunch since I applied to quite a few schools ED/EA and could reuse essays

[upper zealot]

man just open it and let the letter tell u

[burnt osprey]

Eh sort of

[upper zealot]

if u dont make it thats fine

[strange ember]

nah im j curious

[upper zealot]

ur gonna get into other scools

[burnt osprey]

I was delulu and was like imma get innnnn but then it didn’t happen and it was like. Damn ok. Was still happy though

[wraith pebble]

Yea I’m gonna get into nnepU

[strange ember]

[strange ember]

deferral is how much % again

for columbia

[burnt osprey]

I actually didn’t get rejected during ED/EA looking back, so that helped w my confidence with RD apps

[strange ember]

also i feel like rec letter can be rlly unpredictable sm times

like how do u not know if smth is missing from ur rec

[upper zealot]

@burnt osprey wait for ed penn when do u typically do essays jr summer?

[wraith pebble]

You don’t

[upper zealot]

i think im gonan do it during after may exams or jr summer

[wraith pebble]

Since u waive ur right to FERPA

[burnt osprey]

Summer before senior year

Yeah

Or fall

It’s fine

[upper zealot]

wait so if i get in can they still rescind me or smth

[burnt osprey]

Sometimes they’ll show you anyway tbh

[ember bolt]

im so scared all my recs are shit

[upper zealot]

its not like i have to use ib marks

[burnt osprey]

I personally got to see my physics recommendation letter

[wraith pebble]

I just trusted my teachers

[burnt osprey]

That’s what rescinding means yes

[wraith pebble]

Was it good

[burnt osprey]

Yeah it made me emotional ngl

[wraith pebble]

Damn

[open slate]

one of the teachers who wrote my rec later went to penn and tailored it to the program i applied for at penn

[wraith pebble]

Made u break character

[upper zealot]

but what would be some examples? liek if i suddenly drop grades or smth

bc u still have an entire year

like u get decisions by dec

so like

[burnt osprey]

Yeah if ur grades drop or you do something bad or criminal

[hot harbor]

caught lying on ur ecs

[ember bolt]

oh

[hot harbor]

someone almost got rescinded from my school last year

[upper zealot]

how much drop

[burnt osprey]

Depends

[wraith pebble]

I don’t think they can know

It’s based on their instinct

[burnt osprey]

Usually though they’ll just send a strongly worded email that effectively amounts to “don’t do that” and you won’t get rescinded

[ember bolt]

damn 😔

[burnt osprey]

They can reach out to your counselor to request verification

[open slate]

im lucky 🙏

[wraith pebble]

How is your counselor gonna know

[burnt osprey]

My physics LOR

[burnt osprey]

They ask you for proof

[ember bolt]

how do they verify tht tho lol like most ppls ec’s arent in their school

[hot harbor]

they did but counselor covered his ass

[upper zealot]

ok so like hypothetically i get accepted for ed, i commit to it, i just have to not die and drop a lot and its chilling right

[open slate]

are they typically this long

[burnt osprey]

Then rip

[open slate]

like lors in general

ik it’s based on the teacher but

[burnt osprey]

Afaik no I think a page is the norm

But he and I were close

He taught me for three years and headed two of my clubs

[upper zealot]

shitt damn

[open slate]

i had my teacher for three years and she heads one of my clubs

[upper zealot]

@burnt osprey do u know if supps for wharton '29 gonna be same as this year '28

[faint badger]

That letter is amazing

[ember bolt]

lets hope my a&p teacher pulls through with my recs 😔

[upper zealot]

wait what was yall supps prompts for '28

[burnt osprey]

I do not know

My year only had two supps

[upper zealot]

oh

@ '28 one of u guys respond

[wraith pebble]

I just realized that kom isn’t a senior

[upper zealot]

kekw

[frigid seal]

LORs are most underrated part of college apps

[wraith pebble]

One was thank you note to someone

[leaden creek]

sheeesh

[frigid seal]

A strong one can take u places

[ember bolt]

write a thank u letter
community at penn
why major (mine was why nursing)

[upper zealot]

oh yeah the one u send me

[hot harbor]

why tf r u here

[wraith pebble]

Community at Penn

Last one uh

[upper zealot]

why major so like if ur doing wharton do u mention econ or like a concentration?

[upper zealot]

why tf do u care?

ty for answering my question

[wraith pebble]

Last one was why major yea

[faint badger]

i think one of mine was very strong

[upper zealot]

what was it more specifically?

ah thanks

[ember bolt]

idk about majors and their promps im assuming it was just a general why school for others not a why major

[wraith pebble]

How will you explore the community at Penn

Like clubs and shit

[upper zealot]

ok these are very generic questions that i fell like most unis have

[ember bolt]

i just am a little different bcz im a nursing student lol

[upper zealot]

@faint badger @wraith pebble how did yall interpret that prompt?

[frigid seal]

I got a chance to read my outside LOR and it was very strong but I heard colleges value teacher LORs more than outside ones

[burnt osprey]

Unironically think they helped get me in

[wraith pebble]

I just wrote about the clubs I wanted to join at UPenn

[frigid seal]

I think they did as well

[wraith pebble]

And my love for fishing

[frigid seal]

Holistic means holistic lol

[upper zealot]

i mean prob bc they actually know u better and personally and longer and closer

[frigid seal]

I guess yea

[ember bolt]

i actually loved the nursing prompt and the fact that its about health care equity they slayed

[frigid seal]

Hopefully my English teacher didn’t copy paste

[wraith pebble]

Hey again

Muesoon

[upper zealot]

ooh thats good to hear

when did yall get lors

[wraith pebble]

Like

[ember bolt]

hoping my old history teacher ive had since 6th grade did me right with this rec letter, ik she probs will bcz she also wrote me a rec that got me into bofa student leaders but idk

[upper zealot]

like did u tell ur teacher in advance or what

[wraith pebble]

2 weeks before deadline

[upper zealot]

wtf arent they suppose to be hs tecahers

or was this teacher transfered to ur hs

[upper zealot]

[ember bolt]

[upper zealot]

[wraith pebble]

Yea

[upper zealot]

[upper zealot]

[faint badger]

eh an outside can tip the scale

[faint badger]

community?

[wraith pebble]

Hey Eden could u plz invite me back

[ember bolt]

if you ask during the same school year its better especially since you may do some extracurricular stuff that will help

[wraith pebble]

I missed everyone

[faint badger]

j ab what i'd do at penn

[upper zealot]

how many lors did yall need and from who

[ember bolt]

[faint badger]

2 required

i did two teachers and my manager

[upper zealot]

any teacher? and any field?

[ember bolt]

the gc is full now

[upper zealot]

[frigid seal]

It’s from a pretty high profile person but at ivies prolly nothing super special tbh

[wraith pebble]

So I only needed one rec letter

[upper zealot]

@faint badger ur doing business right? can i get opinion on these schools

[ember bolt]

for a reason

[upper zealot]

yeah ig

[faint badger]

yes

[upper zealot]

PTon, UCB, Cornell, maybe NYU CMU and Uchicago, UMIch, UNC, USC, maybe vandy and yale

im only going for reaches in us

bc im canadian

mayple syrup land

[faint badger]

i regret not eaing to UNC

penn?

[upper zealot]

im eding there ofc i have penn 💀

[ember bolt]

no targets or safeties?

[upper zealot]

how many eas can u have

[upper zealot]

whats the point doing safeties in usa wtf

[faint badger]

U can EA to as many

w ED penn

[upper zealot]

🤡 im gonna be spending 40k min on safeties in usa

whereas canada is like 5k max for unis bc im canadian

[ember bolt]

if you wanna leave? idk i did safeties out of state bcz i rly rly need to leave florida

[open slate]

so go to canadian uni

it’s smarter

[upper zealot]

💀 dawg thats why im only doing reaches

[upper zealot]

oh ok

[upper zealot]

@faint badger is this a good list

[faint badger]

Yes it is

[upper zealot]

kk gonna be hella costly

for apps

💀 $80 average is crazy

[wraith pebble]

Do u think a lot of ppl are applying from Florida

[ember bolt]

i’d assume so, florida is huge

i just know no one from my area is rly applying lol

[waxen mauve]

too many ppl ik alr got into umiami

[vale edge]

id say concentration + wharton in general

[waxen mauve]

all for alix earle as they say

[vale edge]

bc its not really econ in the classic sense

[upper zealot]

kk ty

[upper zealot]

well i mean if they meant major the major wharton offers is bachelor of sci of econs

[hazy merlin]

Smart my cousin only got into one reach in the us but it was 100k and she got into the number one business school in Canada for 25k so she went to the candadian school

[vale edge]

like why do you wana do business not why do you wanna do econ, if you wanna do econ honestly apply to cas

[upper zealot]

true

good point

cas exist

for a reason

[ember bolt]

ugh if i dont get into umiami imma shart myself

[upper zealot]

yeah

so pls accept me USA 😃

[hazy merlin]

For like every other subject yeah

[vale edge]

cas econ is an actual econ major, wharton is business ("applied econ" i guess?)

[wraith pebble]

Damn lol

[hazy merlin]

Ik a ton of people who got in ed

[upper zealot]

yeah

[hazy merlin]

lol ultimately even if they do you might be the one to reject them

[wraith pebble]

Wharton just comes off to me as a unique business school

[vale edge]

wharton comes off to me as your mom

[wraith pebble]

There’s just something special about it

Nice

[upper zealot]

nah

with my profile

most liekly im getting rejected

its literally for shit and giggles

[wraith pebble]

So why is Penn bad

[hazy merlin]

You never know

[upper zealot]

🤞

[ember bolt]

sobbing

[vale edge]

i told you ill tell if you get rejected

[hazy merlin]

Just be mindful of the money

[upper zealot]

any acceptance is a acceptance

[vale edge]

if youre in or deferred i wont

[upper zealot]

yeah yeah ofc

[wraith pebble]

Oh ok

[upper zealot]

i just relaly wanna come to us bc many freinds are here

hopefully i can nepo into a internship

👍

[wraith pebble]

Would it ruin my expericne at Penn if I get in

[vale edge]

no obvi

but i dont want to like create doomer vibes

[wraith pebble]

Oh lol

[vale edge]

well i guess you should know general issues

and things to be wary of

[hazy merlin]

Just go on Reddit

[vale edge]

but not my in depth bashing

[hazy merlin]

People always complain about Penn on Reddit

[vale edge]

i still love penn though go quakers

[wraith pebble]

The recent issue…

Is crazy

[vale edge]

ya

[wraith pebble]

I’m not is mention

But yea

[hazy merlin]

Let’s not delve into it Ty

[wraith pebble]

It was crazy
