i got 32 and that's why i am in awkward range
If u don’t get 36 why r u even applying smh do better
idk northeastern's range was a 35-36 i remember googling
aka not submittable range
northeastern 💀💀
No way
LMAO
U do better
🥱
it's northeastern not harvard
dw i know ppl who got into NEU w just above a 1300 lol
Yeah exactly
NEU one of those weird schools they’ll take anyone w a high score to boost their ranking and avg
I have beef with northeastern
dont diss on NEU they're literally better than harvard...
Fraudeastern

What’s the Ed Wharton trap
Lemme see that list fr
are all of u going to penn or something
this oh nvm its not u its someone else
Choide
Every business major think theyre smart by ed to penn wharton but in reality its just asking for a deferral or rejection
tbh ur asking for rejection no matter what u apply
Some ppl get in ✊ they can’t have an empty class
when*
im not eding but what major should i apply as then 😭
Expect the worst hope for the best
dont edate
What do u wanna do
business
Add more ivies remove UCs unless ur instate add UT and NU
but bro just said don't apply wharton
im intl aka canadian
Bros trying to weed out competition
Usually legacy or urm
Cmon
Or insanely crackdd
Think like a businessman
LMAO

^^^
I said dont ed wharton
wait i thought he was also a senior
he said ed is just a risk
U shoot ur shot
nah lowkey ED is fine dont do REA anywhere unless ur certain Lol

I’m not even gonna say he was particularly racked or anything so
huh
Cracked
no REA is restricted
Sorry salami
Emre didnt u ed columbia
it literally says restricted early action
lol
how tf do u not see the r in the rea

Whered u ed

Ur not restricted if u get accepted
like you don't have to commit if you get in
Rea
Yeah
it's annoying as fuck if you dont get in REA bc then you have to grind RD private schools
ohhh thats what u meant
nowhere
Like salami
Be more like salami take risks
shot my shot at nyu and i regret not doing a realistic school bc i could be done now
and not writing more supplementals
That’s the fallacy of it
At least u shoot ur shot
Stern reject?
yeah 😎
My friend was too
@bold onyx im eding just for u 😩
Never count on your ed
well no shit ur in 💀
Except seeing all the Duke merch makes me wish I ED Duke

Schnawg
I wouldn’t have regrets even if I got deferred or rejected
duke is just dark blue
Schlawg
how the fuck is it good
Schmeeg
It’s better than bum ass navy and red bruh
Zawg
yeah luckily i didn't count on stern so i only have 3 apps to go i finished 11 before nov 1
💀 skull
Anyways

Yes
is everyone here just a business major
No

@digital bramble is a sea kid
yay
or smth

wym no
prob get started lil bro
🤗
Me

😀
@digital bramble should i start my CAPs this year
Well I’ve drafted 7/8 left so im not too bad
since CAPs prompt dont change
What’s that
8 to go goddamn hopefully some don't have supps
CAPS?
Prob Why Us for wharton
I would start thinking
common app personal statement
oh that's solid
ok
I didn’t write mine until like June before senior year
6 ivies, stanford and duke
I might not be sleeping for the next week
I finished mine over the summer I wrote my common app in 2 hours at 2 am

💀
And my ao said it was her fav part of the app
and im complaining about 3 schools...
U just gotta keep writing until u strike gold then ur set
Howd u alr talk to her
brown's supplementals are crazy
problem is most ppl dont strike gold
They send u a personalized lil note when u get accepted
they like that fr
i stg this wasnt a thing back then
is it recently instated
bro ALL my friends except two got in ed and all of them are having a stress free winter break
Yea i got ego boosted by my ea acceptances and thought i was the shit so might as well go through with it atp
kekw
pros of eding
i did ed this is the cons of not getting in
I am stressing hard cus my stupid plane won’t get its big butt off the stupid ground and I just wanna get out of here
rookie chefs let them cook fr
Bro def stalked the ao before writing that /j
i swear every day u talk about plane not going
do u live at airport
damn
one must imagine
me personally
Kom im ngl i didnt know u were intl
do you have access to the lounges in the airport
One must imagine my plane actually getting off the ground
ikr i blend in so well
Yes
😩
Do u need aid
wharton '29? more like cc '29
Are u applying mcgill? My schools val last year went there and someone else went to uoft a couple years before that
man who doesnt 💀
did u get aid from penn
yeah all the good business school in canada im applying
^^ how much?
aint penn generous with aid tho
No
plus its need based too
Ugh
wait
I don’t qualify
r u too rich or too mid
Rich ass
how good is aid
Good
My parents saved up over my entire life to get me enough money to go to college 💀
bc middle class aint rich enough or poor enough for aid
lmfaoo
Middle class at penn u get good aid
@bold onyx how generous is penn aid
Nope
like if my parents make idk <110k combined
I didn’t apply for fafsa cus they’d give me pennies
i think we're comfortable
Mfs who say upper middle mean like 300k plus household income
It’s 150k and under for Princeton and that’s the most aid from any ivy
real
wait i might be wrong
Same w columbia
but <150k for sure
No way
@frigid seal how much aid do u think i can get
My friend had to go full pay for Columbia and they can barely afford it
thats crazy
bru my family makes 250k and we're def upper middle class but like my parents act like we can't afford anything so idk if we're middle middle class
bro got scammed
They couldn’t travel or vacation or make any large purchases for 4 years
Just to get enough
💀
thats foul
Her lil bro hasn’t been able to go anywhere
noooo
:(
rip my boi caught n cross fire
My parents saved up enough that they aren’t losing their incomes to my college I hope
Idk im around your same boat and the npc says around 15-20k at ivies and t10s and maybe some t20s everywhere else like usc nyu Emory umich etc im fucked 50-60k+ which im not paying for
so... 500k? @digital bramble
I have savings but like if it came directly outta income that’s not gonna slide
i got 10k need based aid from the one college i could see financial info tho
Ok now that’s just RICH
no
😭😭 I wish
i lost my whole income for the year trading to pay for school
yeah im slightly glad im a stern reject for that reason
yo does penn have in state rates
MY PLANE FINALLY MOVING
wtf thats barely anything
💀😭😭😭😭
Wdym
Wdym
upenn tuition is like 90k a year or some shit
Total cost is
20k aint gonna do jack shit tbh
Yea so they cut like 70k off
Tuition is like 60k
where r u going
20k is what i have to pay
i was wondering if upenn would be cheaper for in state ppl
Bruh Ik someone who picked nyu over a near full ride at Pitt
Because nyu was higher ranked
prestige whore or smth
And they gave her PENNIES
My parents said they will pay for most
not very generous for most people
i was told to pay $79K
Yeah…
be grateful to pay $20K
wait so would u say a near full ride is a better choice
Duh
ofc
Net price calc be lying tho sometimes
but ppl here go into the highest paying fields so they dont mind taking on debt
oh do u have approximate for intl ppl whose hohusehold income combined is less than 150k
So i might be fucked
Especially for middle class and have siblings that want to go to college too
wait i can just use calc right
too much
calculator
Yes
no 💀
Emre were u qb eligible
yea but wont be that accurate since ur intl
International students rarely get aid. Nativism is a big thing in the US.
Huhhh
well god fuck america
Like wdym full ride and ur still making him pay 5k
no idea, maybe
LMFAOOO

im out 80k this year
scammers
fuck no government subsidizing
Aren’t need blind colleges not need blind for international
US is so money hungry
Some are
FAFSA is for USA ppl right
Intl needing aid is a horrible combo
Yes
medical costs r crazy
rip
I hate the medical industry and big pharma
anyone know how to rob banks
one time i had a panic attack and my school called an ambulance on me
looking for a squad to rob a bank
like dawg they put my family 5k down for no reason
I AM NOT PAYING 5K FOR AN SMBULANCE
it's a panic attack leave me alone in a corner for five minutes and everything would've been chill
also i live across the street from the hospital
it's a 30 second walk
but 5k dollars in ambulance 😁😁
by how long
wait whos css for
Idk
intl or just us ppl
i flew to the US for medical care
i think it's just bc the fafsa isn't open
😭😭😭
i don't trust the thai doctors ngl
huh
like can intl get css or is it only for us pppl
intl too i think
$200,735.00 for spinal surgery that saved my life.
200k usd?
Jeez
W but also very L for the price
Did u get any help
I hope u earn back 10x that amount
insurance paid most of it
More than half of mine
oh okay that's good
$759.31 was what i had to pay
Check this out
w
W
what the dub
Don’t go getting bitten by snakes
holy
yeah i saw someone talking about how giving birth to twins was like 1.2mil dollars
800 bucks for life saving sugery is unheard of
i own 40 venomous snakes
least expensive birth
do you think i dont know that
Bro 😭😭😭
For those who don’t have insurance it’s jover
Bros gonna have the best dad lore of all time
i've been bitten several times. Haven't died yet, still standing here.
Insurance so Ihave to only pay like $30
I’m ngl I’m gonna have to call cap, afaik insurance won’t work internationally
i mean hes the one who got the surgery idk man
merry christmas
i can show you the bill.
That’s not helpful
You also avoided the question
I don’t really care tbh I just find it kinda odd
dawg what
who tf u giving birth to
24 carat diamond baby?
it's bc usually one twin is unhealthy and needs to be in the nicu 😭
It did work, probably because one of my family members is in the states and put me on his medical plan -_-
I’d be curious what plan covers well over 99% of a bill
You’re quite lucky
executive compensation from Merck
i am friends with four pairs of twins and in all of them at least one had some major health issues and weighed 3 pounds or less at birth
if only uni were like that
bro paid 0.4% of hte bill
tf is an exec comp from merck
college insurance when😔
it has the word exec so
free tuition when
its gotta mean smth
Throw urself in front of a bus
Ben Franklin ive fallen oh no
pls pay me 500 mill ty
i knew a girl who ran her janitor over in fall of senior year and colleges refused to give her scholarships
bc manslaughter
so like if anyone wants to pay full tuition there's ur answer/j
it was also deemed a emergency operation
she deserve to be executed like 50k times
so maybe thats why
LMFAO???
THATS. A CRIME
SHES LUCKY SHE WAS STILL EVEN ALLOEED TO GO
it was an accident but like still manslaughter charges 😭 😭
yea i think she's at rutgers now
in state tuition at max isn't too bad
how do u accidentally run over someone
Ppl r terrible at driving
Starting a new political party when I get to MIT: Medical Bills are Too Damn High party
lmaoo
ppl in my school suck at driving i can imagine it happening
our school conducts license tests and gives anyone their license but the pennsylvania dmv is so strict
Half the ppl at my school need their licenses taken
maybe thats the problem
that is the problem that's why i said it 😭
schools shouldnt give licenses out 💀
pa is just a strange state
ppl are better drivers here than a lot of states tho at least
Wait she killed the janitor wtf
by the way, Max Verstappen, when he started racing in F1, did not have a regular drivers license because he was too young to drive 😭
Dududuud
im holding on for dear life everytime im driving in new jersey
yeah. i don't even know this girl personally but my parents were too scared to let me drive bc of her and they would constantly use that as fearmongering like oooh you'll murder someone and live your life miserably.
you'd think someone who qualifes for F1 would just get a drivers license cause they can clearly fucking drive a car lmfaoooo
How did she not get jail time?
same fun past time
i think being a minor helped but also by the security cameras it was a very clear accident
she wasn't breaking any rules he was jaywalking
it's still wrong but like legally it's hard to jail someone when they follow the rules
He was in the wrong but still damn
she was still charged with manslaughter bc she coulda avoided it
Id be mentally broken for the rest of my life ngl
I dont think id go to college at least not immediately
Driver is always in the wrong
If it’s a driver pedestrian crash
U are always at fault
Whats the exception
she had to have been punished idk what punishment she got tho
def not jail time or anything but tho
The only place here where pedestrian can be at fault
Otherwise driver is always at fault
fines i think?
...
NO JAIL TIME????/
bro they better financially cripple her or smth
literally
That’s insane
did u know when ur in college if u commit a crime the college has lawyers to protect u
like someone's father just died bc of ur stupid ass fr
my grandpa was in a hit n run once like the car fully knocked him over and he couldn't get up but the car just kept going 😭
😭😭😭
so wait until ur in college (a good college specifically)
oh rly but do they have to defend u?
Yay flight delayed another hour slay boss queen
well yea, ur actions represent the school basically
oh yeah true
delayed again or are u just telling us this again
bro didnt u just take off
this person is trolling fr
Delayed again duh
wait this is interesting
They said plane is ready
And we’re like cool
Then they’re like nvm maintenance still inspecting plane
And we’re like oh
...
u plannin on commitin a lot of crimes huh kee 🤔
ya im the rebellious type obvi
"I'm sorry to say the flight is cancelled."
💀 just drive atp
Ong
Not the first time it’s happened
i was flying from philly to miami in late 2019 and the same thing happened
Was travellibg alone from ny to San Diego
they said the planes were too cold to fly when it was 50 degrees outside
it's a 2 hour flight whatchu want
Harvard prob got so many cases with their douchy ass privileged rich students shit those kids parents prob alr have private lawyers for them
Then they shooed us off and cancelled my flight
real
Me and this other teenager got stuck cus u can’t book a hotel under 21
So the hotel got a loophole and got us a free hotel and taxi and I got abandoned overnight in Chicago
shoulda wrote this on ur essay
how u fucking hate travelling
wait i thought it was 18
bro how do ppl do sweek
Its 18
If the hotel has a bar it’s 21
I think as long as another adult is with you you should be fine right?
Some first years are 17
im about to go ape shit bc of ib physics and math
There are 18+ hotels, ik there’s one in/near O’Hare
Ohare 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Lmfao everyone in this airport rn looks murderous
Whats that
Ohare is Chicago’s airport
Oh I’m just naming them lol
Laguardia sucks
Ong
I’ll send my flight map
Thats a thing
Oh I forgot ROC fr
I need one of those
republic of china
ZHONG GUO DI YI
@frigid seal I lost some of the airline names so idk how accurate that is but
Same
Aw I like it though that was my childhood airport
Which part of SD?
It’s always so packed
BKK, CDG, LHR, LGW, NRT, AMS, FRA, MUC, ATL, SIN, HKG are just some of mine
Is atl Atlanta
I almost scheduled a layover there but I opted for sfo
Bc more food options
And it’s before an intl flight
Oh wait no
I’m thinking of den
Yeah I’ve done a layover in dfw
But I was like 12
thats a tip everyone should know
if you have to make a connection before an international flight make sure the airport has good options for food.
i've been through there once to save money on a connection; hated it
i feel u
Its joever
HELP WHY ARE U IN NC
LAYOVER TO MIAMI

My flight radar
i'm SO late on this but they made it and... AHHH
https://www.instagram.com/hw24commits/
What 💀
I should’ve gone here ig 😔
Is anyone submitting the optional resume to Penn/ other schools?
Idk if it’ll harm or not
It’s just a repeat of my activities list so no
Nope bc I gotta add stuff and clean up my resume and I don’t wanna do allat
same
yee mine as well
thanks for the input!
wait is upenn the state school or the ivy
damn i lost a bet
no
this is the state school
I think you're in the wrong megathread
yipee!
shit my bad
☹️
bye bye
noooo
the opps got to kom 😔
🙏🙏
oh no !
Has anybody done the supplementals for upenn yet
nooo they took down kom
sad 😢
me bc i did them back in october 
How did you go abt doing it
just did research about penn and what i wanted to do tbh
but i also wrote abt a experience i had when i visited in 2022
for the letter i just wrote a heartfelt letter that showed some personality and interests
Did u apply to the Wharton
no i applied to SEAS
Like everyone does 😭
Chill bro
nooo where did kom and dg go
Death
WAIT DID DG GET BANNED TOO
I GOT AN ALUM INTERVIEW FOR PENN'S LSM
no dg left
how should i approach this interview?? my interviewer is a law clerk and i have no interests in pursing law so how should i like "connect" with them?
nah
Yes you have to have strong academics to get a chance at admission unless you’re a long lineage of legacy or your family donated a building/money
you’re not supposed to know anything about your interviewer before your interview 😭
and it doesn’t matter if you don’t share academic interests
i’m doing CS and my interviewer did interior design
just be yourself and know what you want to do at penn
when my interview emailed me they had their company website and position so i did a skim of the company and it's some investment firm
when you did your interview, did your interviewer seem pretentious or mean in any way??
technically you’re not supposed to so when you do the interview act like you know nothing about what the interviewer does 💀
no not at all she was very casual with me, even swore a couple times during the conversation

she went on a bunch of tangents of her interests and shit
i pray my interviewer does the same
was it on zoom?
yes
was it around 25-45 mins
Penn interviews are no longer evaluative
yeah it was like 45 mins to an hour
As long as u dont insult penn or say slurs it cant impact your odds
Now theyre just for informative purposes
true it won’t hurt you unless you really fuck it up
"god i fucking hate pen-
I mean penn state. Penn State."
damn
when i tell ppl im getting interviewed for penn ppl be asking if its penn state 😭😭
i just got penn stated for the first time yesterday 😭
do students call it penn but ppl with no affiliation with penn call it upenn?? that's what i've read on some reddit post
yea
lol
i went to give christmas gifts out to neighbors and one said “congrats on getting into penn state!!” 😭😭😭
DAMNNN
@drifting nova when did u submit
those losers say "small college in boston"
i call it both but i put upenn in my bio and shit for extra clarification that i’m going to the ivy
making ppl think ur at penn state is >>>
dec 19
what’s that? a community college?
LOL
why not just put penn's insta handle on ur bio
no no it's that one high school in illinois
bc i can’t tag them 😭
I submitted 21 so maybe ill get my interview next
they turned off tags lol
that school is in the middle of no where lol
no no it’s harvard westlake in cali
did you get into any other top schools than penn or did you apply ed
Just put wharton
just penn bc i did ed
too pretentious, the nonwhartonites get triggered
i’m SEAS and penn engineering turned their tags off too 😭
i ended up tagging the penn CIS account
Ok just tag the penn ‘28 acct
Whartons just better

do yk anyone that applied to penn's LSM?
not this year but last year someone from my school got into LSM
holy shit that's actually crazy
i applied to lsm for shits and giggles knowing that they only accept less than 30 students
24 i think
😭😭😭
last year my school had two penn admits, one M&T and one LSM
is ur school a feeder ??
this year also two penn admits (so far), me @ SEAS and the other @ CAS
no 😭
we’ve only sent like 5-6 people to penn the last 5 years
r u first gen?
yes i’m FGLI
What’s lsm
thats sick ngl
Saph hello
life science and management
Double degree program
I got sand in my eyes
Hi meeshat
HELP OFC U DID
jealous of u
NOT THE BOX JELLYFISH??
or something else
me spending my bday on A2C discord
Portugese man o war
wish i was at the beach 💔
I picked bro up
GIRL 😭😭😭
don’t die pls
we’ll lose rep tv streams
💔💔💔
and a genshin artist
can’t forget that
Go enjoy ur day bro
i’m going out to a restaurant for dinner later 😍
Lemme cook u up gourmet man o war
are u trying to kill me 💀😭
They look like dumplings
😦
is getting deferred from wharton a good sign that i wont get rejected from every place i apply
whats the defer rate
like around 20% i think
maybe
my friend who applied to harvard for shits and giggles got deferred 😭
he's gotten 3 or below on every AP exam he's taken 🥲
and also isn't taking any APs senior year bc of his AP results from junior year
it's all a gamble
Harvard defers a ton
yeah true
i wish if i applied harvard rea
my school had 4 cornell ED applicants and they all got deferred
at least i could flex that i got waitlisted from harvard
if i got waitlisted - that is
u get waitlisted during RD not REA
deferred yeah
the only ivies that have taken ED people from my school so far are penn and dartmouth
all others either deferrals or no one applied
no one from my school did princeton ED
That’s really awesome
They’re rea
Ohhh
No one from my school got in 😭 anywhere other than neu and Chapman
Yeahh omg penn was me and another guy who has state records in cubing, and dartmouth was our valedictorian who also has records in track
Both of the other ivy admits also had legacy, I can't believe I got in as FGLI 🥹 🫶
Wow actually built different
WWW you 100% deserve it, that’s so great!!
Frr omg
Tysmmmm 🥹
Penn was my dream school since freshman year
Still unreal that I actually got in
Awww
Who did u write your thank you note on?
My brother
Oh ok I was considering family but Ik that’s like done a lot so I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do that
It's okay as long as you're creative :)
The subject of your letter is least relevant tbh
Your creativity and personality is what matters
what does penn mean when theyre asking abt exploring community? just clubs or smth deepr
yeah like how you'll engage yourself on campus and with the penn/philly community
i talked about clubs and organizations i was interested in
Yeah I don’t have an impressive application so I center it all on a basic thing😭😭
honestly me neither!! i didn't have crazy ECs or academic awards so i balanced it with creativity and passion :)
Mine is about just being a good person💀
or hooks 💀
What do i need to know about penn for an alum interview
i applied to penn’s lsm program
and there’s barely any info about lsm on its website
i swear to god the exploring community essay is gonna murder me
how do i write this without listing clubs
i feel like i'm just writing "hey look at me! i looked at the website! please let me in"
reasons why for the clubs
a piece of your background that might be the reason for the club
ok i think i can do that for a few of these
thing is i have like 20 clubs in mind
i'll try to narrow that down to the more personal ones
is this a community+why us basically
How will you explore community at Penn? Consider how Penn will help shape your perspective, and how your experiences and perspective will help shape Penn.
if i talk about the community im a part of and what ive learned, then id connect these experiences to penn, would that be fine
how Penn will help shape your perspective
i think so cause then you can also talk about how your experiences and perspective will help shape penn
finally 😩 🙏 🙏 
🅱️ONGRATS
Why Penn and be prepared to talk abt ur ecs or why major
barnard or gtown to break into finance industry?
gtown
r u sure
Gtown is ranked #2 on peak frameworks
I doubt its actually that good
But its a decent semi target imo
Borderline target
I havent really heard barnard at all in the conversation for finance tho
Basically Columbia is it not
not sure
not really tbh
i would think barnard would be better
but i dont think there’d be a large finance scene there
it’s a part of columbia but idk if they get access to columbia clubs/events
Eh that’s less important than its relative target status
yea but like idk if they have the connections columbia does thru clubs & events. like idk if barnard students can attend columbias networking events or join their finance clubs for mentorship and stuff
they can join the clubs but idk about the events
