Rizz fr

[unborn heath]

YOO

LMFAO

[faint badger]

nah my Penn essays sucked

[hazy merlin]

It’s ok my usc ones did too and they still accepted 😭

[lost hound]

my penn essays were good but i have no perception of what essays were good anymore

[hazy merlin]

This is so real

[unborn heath]

TRUST

[hoary talon]

committing a cardinal sin and rereading my penn essays now

[unborn heath]

🙏

[hoary talon]

i don't remember them

[lost hound]

i could bet that my jhu supp was one of my top 5 essays

[hazy merlin]

Should I too

[lost hound]

and cmu and washu i just kinda did

and i get into the latter two

[faint badger]

i knew my UNC essays were amazing and i got the results i was expecting

[lost hound]

id reread my penn essays but its over considering we got in like 4 fricking ED

[hoary talon]

idk do you want to retraumatize yourself /j

[hazy merlin]

Why is it when you actually put effort in it doesn’t go well but when you don’t it works out 😭

[hoary talon]

actually mine are fine

[hazy merlin]

Good point…

[hoary talon]

it's like three of the ones i reused everywhere

so...i hope theyr'e fine 💀

[lost hound]

[lost hound]

my last app i did was rice so we'll see how that turns out tmrw

[hazy merlin]

Omg

This reminds me

I wrote UPenn in all my essays 💀

And I was freaking out a while back

[lost hound]

me too

[hoary talon]

oh i remember that t-t

i don't think i ever wrote penn or upenn

[frigid seal]

A2C penn feeder

[hoary talon]

oh no

[lost hound]

i wrote upenn literally every time

[hoary talon]

i just wrote penn

[lost hound]

i think

i wrote penn once and upenn like 3 times

im looking rn LMFAO

[hoary talon]

i think i was just copy-pasting club names 💀

[faint badger]

I didn’t know how to write back then

[hoary talon]

25% success rate?

[hazy merlin]

Fr

[lost hound]

😟

[hazy merlin]

Yeah…

Some people really freaked me out

[hoary talon]

i remember that

[faint badger]

I’m also fasting on Ivy Day

[hoary talon]

but like tbh that would be such a stupid reason for them to reject

[hazy merlin]

It was not good!

[faint badger]

I just fast on Thursdays I’m not Muslim

[hazy merlin]

Oh wow I hope it’ll be ok

[hazy merlin]

Yeah agreedd

[lost hound]

wait saying upenn is bad...

[hazy merlin]

Dg had the same ao though and he said that he said UPenn and he goes there now so

[hazy merlin]

It’s not bad but not good bc they’re officially Penn

[hoary talon]

....maybe its the reverse of what we thought. upenn=accept?

[hazy merlin]

It’s ok it’s not a huge deal

[hazy merlin]

So real…

Penn please take us!

[lost hound]

everyone calls it upenn tho ☹️

[analog shard]

damn really

what are your other choices

[analog shard]

gl 😭

[frigid seal]

U will trust

[tame jungle]

holy shit

these days are going by so sloww

[opaque folio]

i actually dont know ngl

if ill take gtown > usc

i think im trying not to think abt it

not trying to go crazy

smrithi are u set with la or berk

[frigid seal]

McDonough > Marshall. WBB > McDonough

Well honestly it depends what u wanna do

For IB gtown is pretty hard to beat outside of a few

For wbbs style of program then yea thats better

[tranquil dagger]

Overall finance McDonough clears

And gtown intl biz is somewhat similar to wbb

[hazy merlin]

Penn Penn Penn

I love love love you

[sharp badge]

didnt u get into ucla

[waxen raven]

feel you

literally pulling hair out waiting

[hollow inlet]

omg i didn’t know penn state released decisions on ivy day

[hazy merlin]

Yes

But Penn is my number one

[civic elbow]

ack gtown is also ivy day???

its my neglected baby i forgot i applied

[tame jungle]

I heard its tmr

[wispy ingot]

48 hours

[brittle hornet]

If I got into CAS, how hard would it to be to internally transfer to Wharton?

[tame jungle]

😭

[wispy ingot]

Next to impossible

[solid hazel]

rejection incoming

[strange ember]

forgot this thread existed

[merry bramble]

I've read online that it's extremely difficult due to so many students trying to do the same thing, so maybe not the best course of action

[brittle hornet]

Probally not

Makes sense

[civic elbow]

Penn CAS still works if you want to go into finance

even if you cant nab a dual degree, if you place well into the really competitive finance clubs you can do well in recruiting

i have a mutual in CAS for neuro, but shes in basically in every top wharton club. shes had luck with solid consulting/vc internships, so its def possible

but doing a hard switch is near impossible

[tranquil dagger]

yeah

also dg said that abt half of cas sells out

to consulting/ib

[fleet dust]

Rejected/WL at every single Common App RD school so far

Chat

Is it over

[tame jungle]

what were ur safties?

ohh did u get into usc early

[fleet dust]

Yeah

[tame jungle]

and ucla is not common app

ok ok like

ur a catfish

[fleet dust]

I was just being dramatic lol

[tame jungle]

LMAO

[hoary talon]

😭

[fleet dust]

Though I’m not joking every other decision I have from now on is a near certain rejection

[tame jungle]

i was the same but i got into bu

i got waitlisted at every school after jan 26th

[fleet dust]

Yeah I got waitlisted bu

[hoary talon]

Same but tufts instead of bu. And then I actually started getting acceptances

[tame jungle]

well u have two amaizng choices!

[tame jungle]

we got this!

[hoary talon]

Fr!!!!

[urban folio]

Same

[fleet dust]

Yeah ik! At least we’re almost done now!

Depends

[hoary talon]

exactly! Suspense is over (finally 😭)

[fleet dust]

Some years it’s been kind of bad, but I hear recently the wl movement has picked up

[urban folio]

Now here comes the disappointing conclusion of my 4 years of work

Yeah but I applied cs so I’m cooked

[tame jungle]

literally

the world keeps spinning

[urban folio]

Real

[tame jungle]

like youre going to live your life

i promise your school will not change the entire outcome of ur life

[urban folio]

I never said not getting into an Ivy was the end of my life lol

[tame jungle]

so just be happy

what happens happens fr!

so dont be dissapointed

what you did all these years taught you so much in the process too, and made you smarter

and gave you experiences

:))))

[urban folio]

Thank you for the wise words Jack

[waxen raven]

such nice pockets of wisdom I didn't expect from this server

ok but forreal if I don't get in it's over

[analog shard]

if you mean is the final choice down to those two then yeah (unless stanford puulls through). if you're asking between those two, hahahaha we dont talk about that.

[cosmic drift]

Has anyone heard of miracle stories? Well imma about to tell you one in march 28th, 2024 or my villain arc story. AHHHHHHHHH

[opaque folio]

😳

[opaque folio]

HELP

thats a good dilemna to have tho

what a NICE dilemna

🤞 stanny for u tho !!

[analog shard]

girl it is eating me up alive

im literally not able to think of anything else

and the more research i do the more i fall in love with both universities

[analog shard]

im so afraid of choosing wrong and regretting it for the rest of my life 😭

like logically i know there's no wrong choice but also oecthoewithowith

[analog shard]

yes stanny is the best of both worlds lmfao (although if i get in and fin aid does not clutch up i will be very sad)

ngl atm im just waiting

for everything to come out

fin aid

ucla regents

[fleet dust]

ooh you want ucla ooh

[analog shard]

😭 😭 😭

i already have ruby sending me ucla reels on instagram

and i put a poll on my close friends instagram story and its leaning ucla 💀

but omfg my followers are dumb

i had a guy come tell me how berkeley academics is good for nothing but tech and fine arts when they're literally ranked #1 for history, english, psychology and #3 for economics

[hazy merlin]

I heard rumors they alr came out

So

Not sure they’re true

Either way I wouldn’t stress it’s not the end of the world where you go

It’s what you make of it that matters

[tender kiln]

not too hard

like a 25% ar

i’m so hungry

[analog shard]

i heard they've started rolling out but all will come within april end

[analog shard]

i know i know but i still wanna make the best choice for me

[fleet dust]

did you get berkeley regents?

[analog shard]

no but i got in early

which gives me (false) hope for ucla regents

[hazy merlin]

Idk I wouldn’t hold any expectations especially cause 75

Like it’s amazing if you get it

But I wouldn’t wait

[analog shard]

true true

im not waiting for that exactly

just need to do more research

and im waiting for my dad to tour both

[hazy merlin]

Fs but you honestly can’t know what the best choice is fs

[analog shard]

and admitted students day

[hazy merlin]

Which one is your dad going to

Cal?

[analog shard]

ucla lol

my logic was that since he lives close to Cal he could visit whenever yk

[hazy merlin]

He changed his mind?

[analog shard]

he's going to tour cal this week

[hazy merlin]

Oh fun

[analog shard]

and my moms friend is going to cal day on my behalf

[analog shard]

no i think he's still leaning cal but my argument convinced him to visit LA

[hazy merlin]

So glad I get ivies on the same day as cal bc I won’t have to deal w my dad badgering me about cal if I get rejected

[hazy merlin]

I see

[analog shard]

because i know a lot of people in north cal that i can ask to go to cal day for me

idk anybody in LA

i know people at ucla but idk that would be weird

[analog shard]

lollll

[hazy merlin]

I mean idk both are great schools I’m sure you’ll do fine at either

Just don’t stress and pick what feels right

[analog shard]

true true

thanks ruby 😭

[hazy merlin]

Ofc ofc

I’m so glad I’m not in a dilemma

[analog shard]

😡

manifesting penn and dart for you

although i assume you'd choose penn?

[hazy merlin]

Yup

[analog shard]

thats nice

imagine having clear rankings

couldn't be me smh

although ngl i hated berkeley before i got in

[hazy merlin]

Well ngl my rankings aren’t clear clear

And very subject to change

[hazy merlin]

lol

I liked usc when I was applying and once I got in I was like 🤮

[fleet dust]

same lmao

january to march: USC LETS GOOO FIGHT ON FIGHT ON GO TROJANS

[analog shard]

[opaque folio]

im stuck on wbb vs ross rn too 😔

[analog shard]

nah my usc phase was january 19th to january 30th because on 30th i got rejected from merit scholarships and knew that the usc dream was over lmfao

[opaque folio]

i think logically its the usc angle but the travel might be rough

[opaque folio]

valid

[analog shard]

january 30th to february 9th was a hard period and then on feb 9th i got into berkeley

[analog shard]

THANK YOU

[analog shard]

wbb wbb wbb wbb wbb

[analog shard]

It’s icky

[tranquil dagger]

id do ross but it depends what u wanna do

wbb is cool tho

[opaque folio]

NO YEAH

[tranquil dagger]

yeah wbb is prob good for intl biz

wbb is insane

[opaque folio]

unless i do want to delulu my luxury brand dreams in italy but what are the chances for that

[opaque folio]

[opaque folio]

[analog shard]

[opaque folio]

[analog shard]

usc is cool the only problem is cost

[opaque folio]

yeah were in the same situation

[hazy merlin]

Nah even w the cost I’d pick ucla

[opaque folio]

ucla is <33 yeah

[tranquil dagger]

fr

wharton in a heartbeat

wharton harv columbia stern duke my t5

[opaque folio]

YEAH

[analog shard]

ucla has better pre med yeah but usc has better journalism lol

[analog shard]

are you from cali btw

[hazy merlin]

Fs

[tranquil dagger]

uc berk>ucla (premed)?

[hazy merlin]

Nope

[fleet dust]

nah

[tranquil dagger]

molecular and cellular bio is p good at uc berk

oh

[hazy merlin]

Not in my book

[tranquil dagger]

fr

uc berk is stem heavy, no?

[fleet dust]

there's a hospital literally right next to la

[tranquil dagger]

oh wtf

[hazy merlin]

Yeah but extreme grade deflation + competition + toxicity + lack of opportunities + no med school

[opaque folio]

yeah

[hazy merlin]

UCLA med + there’s a few more

[tranquil dagger]

does ucla have inflation too

[tranquil dagger]

all r t20s too

like ucsf

[fleet dust]

both deflated

[tranquil dagger]

ah

[opaque folio]

youre intl right smrithi

[fleet dust]

so it's gonna be a challenge at both

[tranquil dagger]

why is uc berk more comp then ucla, ive never rlly understood

[hazy merlin]

It doesn’t have inflation but based on the major that’s deflation/nothing

[tranquil dagger]

i see

[hazy merlin]

Wdym

[tranquil dagger]

like the t20 med schools (half of them are cali)

[hazy merlin]

Just how the culture manifests, at ucla it’s more internalized competition

[tranquil dagger]

ucsf is t5 💀

[analog shard]

ooooooh i didnt know that
how did uc's go for you

[hazy merlin]

Oh yeah

[opaque folio]

IT WENT WELL

[analog shard]

us citizen so not technically but yeah im from india

[tranquil dagger]

yea whats ur major at ucla?

[fleet dust]

yeah berk has a wider spread of great academics

[opaque folio]

accepted everywhere (no cal yet comes out thurs) except for uci which i got a wl

[fleet dust]

whereas in LA it's more concentrated in a couple of disciplines

[hazy merlin]

Biochem but I’m switching to mcdb

[opaque folio]

ohh yeah same im also dual citizenship but i live here

[analog shard]

LMAO SAME I GOT INTO EVERYWHERE BUT UCI WAITLIST

[opaque folio]

NOT INDIA THO

DIFF CITIZENSHIP

[opaque folio]

omg

twins

[tranquil dagger]

whats mcdb

[hazy merlin]

Molecular cell and developmental biology

[tranquil dagger]

oh berk has smth similar

[hazy merlin]

Yup

[tranquil dagger]

ruby do u think i should do econ bio or neuro

[fleet dust]

more corn different bread

[opaque folio]

hawk ur WHAT

[tranquil dagger]

yeah fair

[opaque folio]

abandoning the business kid dreams :(

[analog shard]

more brand recognition + more theory-focused classes + students are more academic-focused whereas at ucla its more social (like they care about academics but not as much) so at berkeley people are inclined to study more + they've done a lot more groundbreaking research

[tranquil dagger]

oh at rutgers.

[opaque folio]

ur leaving us :(

OH

[tranquil dagger]

nah trust

i have a pipeline

kirk knows

[opaque folio]

😳

[tranquil dagger]

i jus half

to saitsfy my parents for now

also rutgers isnt like ut uva umich or uc berk

[tranquil dagger]

yeah thats fair

prob why berk is t5 in qs rnakings

cus research output

[analog shard]

yeah

they literally discovered 18 elements

[tranquil dagger]

i was thinking neuro cus i could prob have a better time w/ mcat + it overlaps w the premed reqs easily so i can focus on otehr stuff

[hazy merlin]

Econ

[tranquil dagger]

oh

[hazy merlin]

You don’t seem to have passion for med

[tranquil dagger]

😭

not completely wrong..

[hazy merlin]

You’re going to have a hard time making it through if you don’t

[tranquil dagger]

yea fair

im jus worried for mcat

cus it seems hard af

and stem majors do rlly well

[analog shard]

is mcat the equivalent of lsat

[tranquil dagger]

nah

well

yeah

[hazy merlin]

I mean I think it’ll be fine

[hazy merlin]

Harder

Way harder

[tranquil dagger]

harder

10x

hardest

grad exam

iirc

or smth

like that

[faint badger]

it’s not rlly harder it’s j a diff skillset

It’s memorization stuff

vs lsat

[tranquil dagger]

u need mcat->usmle (which is SO HARD)

[faint badger]

which is just critical thinking

[tranquil dagger]

yeah

[hazy merlin]

Why can’t you do Econ and do whatever business stuff you want

[tranquil dagger]

fair

for mcat u gotta know like 10 different content mateirals

[tranquil dagger]

cus

[analog shard]

damn

[tranquil dagger]

i could and i will but not at the biz school

the biz school is HORRIBLE

[hazy merlin]

Wdym

[analog shard]

oh that makes sense

yeah i never really liked bio because of how memorization-intensive it is

im doing ap psych and the neuroscience and bio part of it make me wanna jump off a cliff

[hazy merlin]

Everyone says where you go for undergrad doesn’t matter for med but yeah it does 😭 based on where you want to go for med

[harsh mountain]

me with ap psych

[faint badger]

psych is the easiest im ngl

i got a 5 self studying the day before

Never did psych before that

[hazy merlin]

Real

[analog shard]

damn

now im more confident

is apush easy to self study

[faint badger]

NO

APISH IS NOT EASY

[harsh mountain]

i think

[analog shard]

how much does it matter though

[harsh mountain]

you're built diff

[harsh mountain]

^^^^^^^ ‼️

[analog shard]

oh good to know

time to jump off a cliff

[harsh mountain]

apush much harder than world

[faint badger]

for sure

I never did world

I did euro

[analog shard]

listen everybody told me apush was the hardest AP

[hazy merlin]

Well my dad said his med school will gladly accept a 2.6 gpa person from berk than a 3.6 from a cc

[hazy merlin]

Same

[analog shard]

so i signed up because i was like it cant be that hard...

it seems fun so far! (im self studying and only started last week)

[analog shard]

oh

[safe zealot]

the ap physics c in question:

[analog shard]

is that the same for law school though

and how much does gpa matter

[harsh mountain]

some ppl are like "ap world has to be harder bc ur learning about ALL THESE COUNTRIES" well it's also quite difficult to memorize all the shitty mistakes america made in the past centuries

[analog shard]

like wouldn't experience and internships matter more

lmfao

i hate america the more i do apush

[faint badger]

im drawn to doing a jd mba

but that’s another year I don’t need to waste

[tranquil dagger]

basically there is this special program that is open to any students, and ill prob do a biz minor, but im in cas and i dont plan on leaving to the biz school (for a lot of factors that i wont discuss here cus i dont wanna clog up chat), but ill join clubs and allat for networking purposes and perhaps 1-2 of them will go on the amcas application

[analog shard]

do it do it do it

we can be stanford law besties

[hazy merlin]

For med school or

[harsh mountain]

bros gonna get his ba from wharton jd from yale and mba from harv or booth

[faint badger]

I gotta have the creds fr

[hazy merlin]

I think you should sit for a few days and figure out what you want to do with your life rather than having the school you go decide what you do with it 😭

[faint badger]

jd mba from Harvard or Stanford tho

[tranquil dagger]

well thats only mainly for t20s? and even more in the case of t10s like if u wanna do harv med, harv ug is a big boost, otherwise its so hard to get in even if you have a perfect application

[hazy merlin]

My dad’s school isn’t a t20 😭 can tell you that

[frail harness]

are there figures for acceptance rates to med schools from source ugs?

[hazy merlin]

Yeah

[frail harness]

like ik the top two are apparently harvard and hopkins but i havent seen a source

[analog shard]

shit i thought your dad was ucsf

[tranquil dagger]

nah the program is a special feeder for finance placement to NYC, but ill put it for med school app since ill gun mba/md or even if i dont itll help me theme my ecs -> make spike -> interviews -> essay content

[hazy merlin]

No lol I never said this 😭

[analog shard]

stanford stanford stanford

stanford law is the goal

[hazy merlin]

I see 💀 you do you buddy

[faint badger]

what if they drop tmr

[tranquil dagger]

ive been thinking abt it a lot ngl after i submitted apps (it prob doesnt makes sense to anyone here but in my mind it kinda does) 💀

also as harsh as what you said, it is true and in the best interest

[analog shard]

mba/md lol what

[tranquil dagger]

i thought ur dad was at one of the uc md schools

[hazy merlin]

Nope

[analog shard]

do you mean both of them simultaneously or either mba or md

[hazy merlin]

I never said this guys 😭

[hazy merlin]

It’s like an md/phd kind of thing

[tranquil dagger]

yeah its a dual degree similar to the ones penn has

[analog shard]

im ngl i'd be okay because i want it asap but also i would cry.

[faint badger]

I just bought a mystery box of sweatshirts

[analog shard]

damn

[faint badger]

real

[tranquil dagger]

ok kinda irrelevant but why is a do bad

everyone shits on it

[hazy merlin]

It’s not it’s just a different way of approaching med from a whole body approach

[analog shard]

nothing in this app cycle has broken me so far not even uchicago rejection but stanford rejection. thats gonna leave a mark.

[hazy merlin]

It’s rising in popularity rn just wait for when we apply to med school

[analog shard]

or maybe tomorrow northwestern will break me

[tranquil dagger]

is it easier then md

cus u end up being a doctor

[hazy merlin]

They used to be but not really anymore

[tranquil dagger]

i see

[tranquil dagger]

do med schools take into account if ur college has deflation/inflation

[civic elbow]

nope

my sister faces some deflation at JHU, and she always complains that her brown/har/yale friends have it nice

they just care about GPA, so thats why state schools do just fine also

[tranquil dagger]

oh ok

[frail harness]

yes they do

[tranquil dagger]

ohh ok nice nice

[hazy merlin]

Yrah

[hazy merlin]

No they do

[civic elbow]

my sister tripping then idk

[frail harness]

tbf ur sister hasnt even applied yet

[tender kiln]

they do but also there will still always be ppl with a 4 at jhu

so the thing is

while only maybe 6-7% of the class at jhu can achieve a 4 and 40% of the harvard class can achieve a 4

you’d rather be at the place where you can get the same gpa as your top top peers than have them be differentiated from you

[hazy merlin]

That’s true

[torpid raft]

My bff classmate just cracked me up..thought getting a pennid meant that he was admitted t

[wispy ingot]

25 hours, 30 minutes

[opal linden]

[opal linden]

[waxen raven]

[vagrant grotto]

Does BFS and/or JWS (are they the same thing?) have applications sent out in April or do they give that to you when you get accepted? And when you don’t then your cooked?

[uncut roost]

if i still haven’t submitted some financial aid stuff they’ve asked by decisions day will it be a big problem?

[bold onyx]

U can apply to bfs (if ur in the college or seas), but jws is invite only for first years

But also both programs arent that useful so dw abt not getting it

[cosmic drift]

How abt u let me in

[worldly fern]

Financial aid is independent of your admission decision if that’s what ur asking

[uncut roost]

thanks

[vagrant grotto]

Wait so it’s an application thing that gets sent out later? Or do they invite you before you step on campus

[bold onyx]

U get invited to join both at the time of opening ur decision

But if ur in college/seas, you can apply to join bfs before getting to campus

If ur in jws u apply during ur freshman year

[dusty aspen]

I’m cooked for tmw

[native pasture]

aight dawg we don't know that yet
let's wait and see
hope!!

[olive haven]

no not at all

i didn't submit any financial aid documents before my decision and got in ED

and after i submitted i got a substantial aid package and i can afford tuition with it

financial aid is separate from your admissions decision unless you're an international student (not from canada or mexico) that asked for aid consideration

[hybrid skiff]

yeah that person seems to be international 😭

[vagrant grotto]

Ah so I missed my chance 😭

[bold onyx]

Didnt miss out on much tbh, im in jws and its not like a once in a lifetime kinda program

Best part abt is prolly our advisor

Super cool guy

[vagrant grotto]

You said that I can apply JWS freshman year right? Yeah I really want a cool advisor and some priority registration 😈

[barren granite]

penn please save me from a depression tomorrow ❤️❤️
