[native pasture]

Post submission clarity hits different ngl

[obtuse badge]

same and i applied ed there - got deferred

theres so much i wish i could change

[native pasture]

I think I only liked my letter tbh I could have changed so much with the other ones...

[obtuse badge]

letter as in the LOCI?

or the letter to someone you want to thank essay?

[timid delta]

how are all of u nittany lions doing

[native pasture]

Nah the thank one ughh I should show it to the person I wrote it to alreadyyy

[obtuse badge]

yeah hopefully you might get their blessings for the acceptance!

[native pasture]

Maybe lol 😆

[obtuse badge]

I wish you the best of luck!

[native pasture]

Same for you ❤️

[timid delta]

I did mine for my little brother but put an honorable mention for this one chipotle worker who gives me extra chicken😭

[obtuse badge]

you could have gone with the chipotle worker in your essay

if i were an AO, i'd like it!

[native pasture]

Nah thats actually so cute lolll

I did mine on a mentor in elementary school
I used to get suspended a lot and was generally a troublemaker and she set my life straight with volunteering (didn't mention the suspension part) 😭

[timid delta]

u should show it to them it would probably make their day

[native pasture]

Yeah she's so nice I wouldn't be here without her fr fr

[plain kindle]

i loved the thank you letter supp

[tender kiln]

i actually came up with that idea

[dusk python]

d

[vagrant grotto]

Should I retake the ACT to boost my math score (currently a 31) just for resume and club app purposes?

[native pasture]

Club app?? You need test scores for clubs?

[turbid bluff]

Wtf

So it never ends

[vagrant grotto]

Lmao I don’t want to send yall into a panic I just wanna know from some current Wharton students

[obtuse badge]

did you report the 31 act on your Penn application?

[analog shard]

Idk about penn or Wharton but intuitively I'd think clubs care more about experience and ecs rather than tests

[tame jungle]

SAME AHAHA the world limits were so short, and i LOWKEY RUSHED IT.... so its annoying i couldve worded them better

the only thing i like is my thank u letter

[tame jungle]

[indigo basin]

[merry bramble]

Princeton is my top choice so I'm manifesting hard, but Penn comes in at #2

[humble pawn]

i wrote most of my ivy apps over the span of like a day

(before the deadline)

[merry bramble]

Nothing but grass the whole way there

[native pasture]

real i took too much time on brown (7 supps ) tho

[indigo basin]

Anyone here applied to tufts

[merry bramble]

🤝

[humble pawn]

the only thing that might help me is having the highest sat score in my school and being the only person from my area to apply to ivies

[lost hound]

I didnt get to visit dartmouth but if i get in imma have to

[humble pawn]

lets hope that helps

[indigo basin]

That sounds horrible im sorry

[humble pawn]

[humble pawn]

i wish i applied rd

[timid delta]

i gave up on columbia bc i hated the supps😭

[merry bramble]

I was the first to get into this pretty competitive research program in my town's history. I'm hoping I stand out with that 💀

[tacit ice]

I ED'd and got deferred and now ive lost all hope

[barren granite]

wharton

[native pasture]

this is why i was rejected from cornell, i just didn't know what was going on lmaoo

[lost hound]

I think brown might be the ivy i have the best shot in

[native pasture]

exactly like wtf i ran from those supps fast

[barren granite]

I GOT REJECTED FROM CORNELL TOO AYY

[plain kindle]

i was stuck on one columbia supp for so long and i wrote such a bad response it def tanked my app

[lost hound]

Judging by my app and other ppl wt my school that applied

[humble pawn]

dont lose hope you’ve definitely got a chance

[merry bramble]

Columbia's supplements were the only ivy supps I spent more than a day on
Really wanted me to tell my whole life story in 150 words bro

[barren granite]

I got flat out rejected ED from cornell so I don't really expect much tbh

[vast heath]

source

[humble pawn]

like every one of my answers were just cookie cutter generic answers and i thought thats what colleges wanted to see

[native pasture]

literally i felt like that with brown when they hit me with the 3 word essay lol

[humble pawn]

compare that to my stanford application and you wouldnt believe it was the same person writing it

[tacit ice]

only ivy i actually just ended up removing from my list

[merry bramble]

I think I got the best chance for Cornell because I got into their CATALYST program, but I'm probably being delusional lmao

[merry bramble]

LMFAO WHAT

[barren granite]

my writing acc got a lot better over 2 months it's crazy

[native pasture]

mine were just yapping, like i had lost the plot or sumn
i thought i cooked too...

[humble pawn]

stanford had the best supplemental questions imo they were so fun to write

[tacit ice]

hate the core + i alr live in nyc and dont like columbia's campus

[barren granite]

from October to January

[merry bramble]

I loved writing my supplement for Smith
Got creative with that one

[plain kindle]

i spent sm time on my columbia app just cuz they had a dedicated section for scientific research 😭

[humble pawn]

FRR I THOUGHT I BEASTED IT

lord idk what i was on

[merry bramble]

Omg I remember that
I ended up submitting two research supplements

[native pasture]

yes the infamous describe yourself with 3 words...i didn't want to sound generic so i spent so long on it 😅

[lost hound]

Columbia and brown’s supps were so hard

[barren granite]

I thought I ate in my cornell supps but I went back and read them and I did not 💀

[lost hound]

Penn’s second supp tripped me up bad too

[merry bramble]

"Future Brown Alumni"

[barren granite]

[timid delta]

this is me on literally every single one of my apps

[humble pawn]

it was like 2 hours before the deadline and i was going to start my cornell app. i opened the supplemental essay section and saw a 650 word prompt. i removed cornell from my college list.

[native pasture]

THISSSS

[merry bramble]

On the common app I think
There was a section where they asked if you'd like to submit any research you've conducted, and I submitted two

[timid delta]

i didn’t even proof read my common app essay

[merry bramble]

You cooked with this one

[barren granite]

it was awful like give me a 250 thx

250 I can write solid in 30 mins

650 is different

[plain kindle]

ooooh i only submitted one but i spent sm time on it although im p sure i got rejected 💀

[merry bramble]

I honestly hated my common app essay and ended up re-writing it on the day Columbia and Princeton was due

[merry bramble]

Nah I'm rooting for you

We both got a chance

[humble pawn]

it was terrible i was going to reuse one but the longest i had written a supplemental was 300 words

and i did not feel like writing anymore

[indigo basin]

does does duke come out before upenn or after

[barren granite]

hopefully before but I think they might acc be at the same time 💀

[plain kindle]

ME

[timid delta]

it’s hard to find the right level of cheesiness

I'm honestly gonna be sad if Smith rejects me
Let me in lesbian central please

[vast heath]

[native pasture]

[barren granite]

they were the only ones who did that tho which was fake asf

like how dare you

[humble pawn]

exactly. but i’d love to get into an ivy league bc the financial aid is really good. my family makes less than 20k a year and im first gen so i know they wont be able to support me much

[indigo basin]

[native pasture]

[timid delta]

I applied to one safety and it was UMD lmao

[merry bramble]

I think he transferred but still

[barren granite]

i was shocked bye

[merry bramble]

Congrats on CMU bro

[indigo basin]

im not sure, i heard theres were bad there but it got better

[native pasture]

true i did that with every single one except for brown, which i think had the most thoughtful and emotional essays i produced throughout this whole thing
hopefully smith college clutches up tho cuz i love me some LACs

[barren granite]

this one's up to date the last one is old

[merry bramble]

Yeah I think he ended up deleting his account, hope he's doing okay

[indigo basin]

who was u/eccentricgalaxy

genuine question

[barren granite]

getting deferred from michigan was slightly shocking

[merry bramble]

He was this guy on A2C that was known for being really nice I think

[indigo basin]

awh

i hope he's ok

[trim token]

shocking as in u expected to get in or get rejected?

[humble pawn]

this is exactly what happened to me on majority of my reach apps

[merry bramble]

Yeah same, I've read some of his posts, he did spotlight posts on LACs
Seemed like a genuinely nice guy

[native pasture]

w for cmu good shit (still waiting for my decision and i will live vicariously though you lol)

[barren granite]

i thought i would get in🫠

[barren granite]

it's okay tomorrow will be ur day

I think next round is tomorrow

[merry bramble]

You got this Vyn

[barren granite]

[indigo basin]

i just did a quick reddit search

[barren granite]

boss move asf

[indigo basin]

man seemed like the legend

[merry bramble]

I thought he transferred to Northwestern, but maybe I was wrong
But yeah he seemed cool as hell

[indigo basin]

fr, apprently u can also go from grinnell to cal tech with their 3:2 program thingy for engineer

[hybrid skiff]

[merry bramble]

holy cow

the legend helped me without me ever knowing him

[hybrid skiff]

at least they are linked

[merry bramble]

Unfortunate he kinda fell off the face of A2C

[indigo basin]

i think he graduated and i guess moved on with life

i hope he's successful and happy

[indigo basin]

fr but im not taking engineer so there's no point

https://www.grinnell.edu/academics/majors-concentrations/physics-astronomy/3-2-engineering-program

here's the thing

[hybrid skiff]

ya i found it

that's kinda crazy

[indigo basin]

life hack to get into cal tech

LOL

washu darthmouth and columbia too

[hybrid skiff]

ya that's wild with how small caltech's class size is

[indigo basin]

yeahhh

[hybrid skiff]

There are a lot of colleges that 3-2 w/ caltech

[indigo basin]

so basically get into a liberal arts to speed run cal tech

[barren granite]

isn't this kind of satisfying

[merry bramble]

Heavenly

[dawn dock]

Did they remove the ability to withdraw?

[hot cosmos]

yes the portal will be unavaiable until descions

[tender kiln]

no club asks for act

and they definitely don’t ask for your act score distribution

if your act/sat is high enough it can be useful during consulting/finance recruiting but thats all

like i keep my act on my resume still

but there’s no real loss to not having it

[opal linden]

dg would you be down to tour me when i go up there

[simple lance]

guys question

did you all also have nothing on your penn portal about mid years?

cus even though my counselor submitted my mid year report it wasnt displayed on my portal

[unborn spindle]

i didn’t

[simple lance]

didnt have it on your portal right?

[unborn spindle]

yup it didn’t show

[simple lance]

alr good

im so unsure about penn

im either getting fucking 100k scholly and grad school guaranteed or full on rejected from schools like what

scaredd

[torpid raft]

Wasnt Penn's letter oddly cold

The one sent yesterday announcing the release date?

[simple lance]

Yeah LOL

[analog shard]
