Penn Penn Penn

[digital bramble]

YESSS

[hazy merlin]

Penn ‘28 fr

[digital bramble]

HE DID 🥶🥶

Hsoc!

I can’t believe we wrote abt the same niche major that’s funny

[hazy merlin]

Salami wrote about hsoc too???

Oh wait

I’m stupid 😭 yes I love hsoc it looks sooo amazing

Penn vet also has me falling in love

[faint badger]

no

[hazy merlin]

Ik I wrote about it 😭

[digital bramble]

Salami wrote abt lululemon

[velvet basin]

mfs are genuinely just better at writing than i am

gapped

[digital bramble]

nah

My essays were wack

[hazy merlin]

^ they didn’t

They were really good

[digital bramble]

my common app

[velvet basin]

my essays are

criminally generic

[digital bramble]

So were my supps it’s ok

[velvet basin]

i'm a cis straight asian male applying for math talking about how riemann sums make him happy

but i have nothing else to talk about since that's the most sincere thing i can write

[leaden creek]

prove the riemann hypothesis

[velvet basin]

my bad boss

[leaden creek]

and then boom ez mit

[velvet basin]

wait. i didn't think of this strategy.

[leaden creek]

i wish you good luck and i will be charging 10,000 for my admissions counseling

[velvet basin]

wai-

[leaden creek]

please venmo me in 24 hours.

[velvet basin]

there will be men in suits and black sunglasses at my house in 25 hours if i do not pay.

[leaden creek]

mhm.

[velvet basin]

https://tenor.com/bzz4j.gif

the end is nigh

[tender kiln]

i solved reimann hypothesis the other night

its the first assignment for intro calculus here

[digital bramble]

Riemann sums make me happy too

[digital bramble]

Gross

[tender kiln]

there is no way u mfs actually enjoy riemann sums

[velvet basin]

they're like

interesting

[tender kiln]

they physically make me angry

because of their inefficiencey

[velvet basin]

i'm talking about liike

the first time i did one

it's mindbogglingly simple of an idea but like

[tender kiln]

ok maybe then it is cool

[velvet basin]

it must've taken insane iq to have thought of it

[tender kiln]

because you understand integrals very intuitively then

[velvet basin]

yes

[tender kiln]

but after time 1

[digital bramble]

Did u write abt that for penn supps

[velvet basin]

i still can't prove the ftc because im a fraud

i haven't started writing penn yet

[digital bramble]

Lemme guess this is for mit or smth

[velvet basin]

i wrote about combinatorics for my personal statement

[digital bramble]

What is that

[tender kiln]

😭

combinatorics is crazy

[velvet basin]

my asian ass is not getting in anywhere

[tender kiln]

bro gonna love cis 1600

[digital bramble]

I wrote abt not being able to cook

[velvet basin]

basically just the calculations of how many ways a situation can play out

[static crescent]

😭

[tender kiln]

fun

[velvet basin]

e.g. you have six marbles, each diff colors

how many ways can you order them

[digital bramble]

I might be a fraud!

[tender kiln]

that sounds quite unique

[velvet basin]

and why

[digital bramble]

Isn’t that permutations?

[tender kiln]

but if u cant cook learn to cook

cooking so fun

[velvet basin]

permutations are under the broader umbrella of combinatorics

[digital bramble]

fr it was how I destroyed everything I attempted to bake so I decided to make my own recipes cus Google wasn’t working

[velvet basin]

wait is it permutations "is" since i'm referring to it as a single subject

[digital bramble]

And then applied that to a non baking activity I did

Conveniently left out the part the recipes in fact didn’t work and gave me food poisoning

[velvet basin]

[digital bramble]

But I tried and that’s what mayters

[velvet basin]

true

well

the more important part is that u survived

💀

[digital bramble]

Permutations as a subject = is as a group = are

I’m building up immunity to food poisoning

[velvet basin]

nice.

[tender kiln]

💀

if we wnd up in any of the same clubs next yr

[digital bramble]

I’m immune to hill

[tender kiln]

u r not on cooking duty

[digital bramble]

What clubs r u in

[velvet basin]

an off day of penn dining isn't about to fuck you over anyday soon

[tender kiln]

all of them

[velvet basin]

[digital bramble]

I am absolutely on kitchen duty

[velvet basin]

every single last one of the clubs.

[tender kiln]

weve only cooked in grc

[digital bramble]

A testament to my willpower

[velvet basin]

yo??

[digital bramble]

🧑‍🍳

[tender kiln]

but we cook pretty regularly in grc

[velvet basin]

⏸️

wait

[tender kiln]

its very fun

[velvet basin]

that shit is fire

[tender kiln]

grc in general is very fun

[velvet basin]

❓❓❓

[digital bramble]

If u ignore the giant hole in cake 1

And the fact that cake 2 looks mildly poisonous

[velvet basin]

that's at least 6x better than what i can do

[tender kiln]

join grc

[digital bramble]

What’s that

[tender kiln]

wait what major r u again

[digital bramble]

Umm

Prolly molecular bio or health and societies

[tender kiln]

[hazy merlin]

I submitted my Penn app yesterday!

[digital bramble]

1st step done

😈

[velvet basin]

second step is immense amounts of intense prayer

[hazy merlin]

Fr

[tender kiln]

when is ivy day

very late march right

[velvet basin]

the entire college admissions ecosystem is simply a farce meant to convert millions of aspiring college students to some sort of religion as they pray right before opening their decisions

[hazy merlin]

I don’t have a ton of hopes though so it’s fine

[velvet basin]

🙏

[hazy merlin]

March 28th I think

[velvet basin]

Gg....

waiting game

[digital bramble]

Dg will you ever become a campus tour guide

I want to be a campus tour guide

[hazy merlin]

Every time I go to the temple/have poojas I give my gods 5 schools to choose from

[velvet basin]

[hazy merlin]

If I don’t get into any of them I’m not longer believing in any of them

[velvet basin]

[digital bramble]

Which Scholls

[tender kiln]

[digital bramble]

Mine was 1) penn = Duke 3) brown 4)Stanford 5) ucla

[hazy merlin]

Woah

[hazy merlin]

[velvet basin]

:letsfuckinggo:

[hazy merlin]

[digital bramble]

Duke dining charged me 18 for a burrito bowl

I lost all hope

[hazy merlin]

wtf

[velvet basin]

WHAT

[digital bramble]

There was so little food too

[velvet basin]

https://tenor.com/bzz4j.gif

[digital bramble]

😔

[modern breach]

thats like double chiptole

[velvet basin]

is this real

[tender kiln]

wait yeah not getting into ucla was actually like my saddest result i think

[velvet basin]

i thought it was supposed to be goated

wtf

[hazy merlin]

😭 penn’s dining was interesting

[hazy merlin]

WHAT

YOU DIDNT GET IN???

[digital bramble]

What were ur results I’m curious

The ucs are weird

[velvet basin]

i didnt apply to the UCs did i troll

[tender kiln]

especially because hella of my friends got in and my bsf committed to it so i was guaranteed not going to school with him

[hazy merlin]

They gave me free cookies from Dr insomniacs though!!

[digital bramble]

I managed to make it out of college apps unscathed 😔😔😔 0 rejections

[velvet basin]

wtf

can this power be learned

[modern breach]

r u fr?

[digital bramble]

I ed so I didn’t get rejected anywhere

[tender kiln]

i got fucked by the UCs lol

[modern breach]

how

[digital bramble]

Yes

[modern breach]

oh

that makes sense

[digital bramble]

I applied to pitt rolling, stony Brook

[modern breach]

i havent gotten rejected yet

[digital bramble]

Got into penn ed

[modern breach]

either

[hazy merlin]

Aww I’m sorry 😭 Penn better though

[digital bramble]

Withdrew everything

[hazy merlin]

That’s crazy

[velvet basin]

deferred gang

[hazy merlin]

Engineering is lowkey though

[digital bramble]

From where?

[modern breach]

ive been accepted to 3 and deferred at 1

[velvet basin]

🅱️rown

[modern breach]

not even bad tbh

[digital bramble]

Brown 😔😔😔

[hazy merlin]

All of my engineering friends got into 1-2 ucs max

[velvet basin]

brown my love.....

[digital bramble]

Usually if ur not like cs/engineering and strong u should be able to get into a decent UC

Otherwise cs is like impossible

UCLA cs is like 2%

[velvet basin]

maybe i should've applied

is pure maths hard to get in for

[tender kiln]

accepted penn gt uiuc umich wl harvard cmu cornell jhu nu hmc cmc rejected mit princ cal ucsd(??) yale duke

[velvet basin]

ucsd :gigachad:

[digital bramble]

REJECTED UCSD

😭😭😭

[hazy merlin]

Firestar was talking about how he got rejected from all the ucs cs or something but got into Yale cs, umich, gt, etc

[hazy merlin]

WTF

[digital bramble]

yeah that’s how the ucs roll

Tbf UC cs > Yale cs

[hazy merlin]

Glad I’m a bio major!

[digital bramble]

So it makes sense

[tender kiln]

yeah basically same as me

[velvet basin]

wtf goes down in UC admissions offices

actually just hotboxing while reading apps

[modern breach]

roll of the die

[hazy merlin]

They’re not super holistic ig?

[digital bramble]

They spend like 3 minutes reading apps

They don’t even look at ur essays I guess

There’s no way they have time to

[velvet basin]

oh ok

i mean i have 0 ECs or awards so

i guess it's good that i didn't apply

[hazy merlin]

Would you have gone to Harv, Cornell, or cmu over Penn

[modern breach]

ucla had like 150k apps

[velvet basin]

waste of money

[digital bramble]

I think they knock out a big chunk w automation and prolly skim the rest

[modern breach]

like no way they read all of those

[digital bramble]

They had 170k

[tender kiln]

only harv

i didn’t stay on any other wl

[digital bramble]

I mean I had like no good awards

[hazy merlin]

Oh fair

[velvet basin]

when i say i have 0 ecs and 0 awards

[digital bramble]

Here we don’t have the chance for like really big awards

Salami actually managed to scrape a few together

[velvet basin]

i mean i am not filling the lines up with anything other than freshman mini-awards

[digital bramble]

For Stanford

[hazy merlin]

If the UC system hates me gg Umass Amherst here I come

[velvet basin]

i'm literally a bag of numbers

[tender kiln]

if i didnt get into penn then i wouldve gone to any of those 3 (and maybe even jhu or nu) over mich though

[digital bramble]

I had like usnco and National merit lol

[velvet basin]

i don't do any competitions

or anything of the sort

[tender kiln]

nah it’s usually a lot fairer for premeds though

[velvet basin]

so i have 0 awards

[hazy merlin]

You got into jhu and nu?

[digital bramble]

It’s ok one of my friends got mit w National merit commended and just a few small ones

MIT cs

As an Asian male

🤷‍♀️

[tender kiln]

wl there too

[hazy merlin]

Hoping they stay that way bc the ivies aren’t taking me

[hazy merlin]

Woah

Actually built different

[digital bramble]

What’s nu

Northwestern?

[tender kiln]

[hazy merlin]

[digital bramble]

Don’t lose hope

[velvet basin]

otherwise

[digital bramble]

I mean u can’t exactly fill a class up with like all unique ppl

[velvet basin]

it's like the us navy will take me

do you know what i mean

:omegalul:

[digital bramble]

I saw someone on a2c who ed to penn with

Basiclaly an app 99% identical to mine

[velvet basin]

[digital bramble]

And same niche major too

[velvet basin]

this process is so fucked

[digital bramble]

Guess we might have both gotten in even tho we were clones

You never know

[velvet basin]

im ngl i'm just coming to terms with the fact that i'll never be unique

[digital bramble]

It’s basiclaly luck at one point so if anything happens it’s on the school not u

[velvet basin]

like i am utterly ununique but so is everybody else

[digital bramble]

U don’t have to be unique bruh like nobody is

[velvet basin]

varying levels of ununique

simply have to enjoy what i'm doing

[hazy merlin]

Did they get in

[digital bramble]

I’m like a CAS npc

I couldn’t find their post again

I hope so

[velvet basin]

what's cas

[digital bramble]

College of arts and sciences

[velvet basin]

i see

[digital bramble]

Cus my entire app was just

[velvet basin]

same i guess

[digital bramble]

Arts and sciences

[hazy merlin]

Unfortunate

[digital bramble]

I literally just came w the sticker label

[velvet basin]

😭

i mean

idk i'm just getting intimidated staring at the small acceptance rates

[hazy merlin]

People tend to undersell themselves once they get in though

[velvet basin]

me when the colleges think they need to model their acceptance rates after our gpas

[digital bramble]

Isn’t everyone

[velvet basin]

[digital bramble]

I mean as far as ppl go for a certain caliber of schools I’m like the most average applicant

[velvet basin]

i'd say im like

[digital bramble]

Too bad social media only shows u the tippity top ones that win isef and found organizations

[hazy merlin]

That’s what everyone says 😭

[digital bramble]

It’s true

[velvet basin]

if i got in i'd be 30-40th percentile of the top schools

💀

so it's definitely possible

[hazy merlin]

penn the one and only college ive ever formally toured

[digital bramble]

All my relatives in the US live in Philly

Penn was the first college I toured and I was like “I’m earlying here”

[tender kiln]

ben was an odd guy i feel like he would be ok with it tbh

john harvard maybe less so

[digital bramble]

Then my parents tried to get me to be more open minded by dragging me to Yale and Princeton

I ended up getting sick and I got wind burn at Yale so that was that

[tender kiln]

i feel like if ben was alive in modern times he would be like the chill uncle of society

[digital bramble]

Someone should get him a cooked turkey on thanksgiving

[bold onyx]

1400 is gonna FUCK me

[supple granite]

Hehe ap exam transfer moment

Major and major concentration have nothing to do w any additional minors

That said make sure the major actually has concentrations as not every major does
