thanks
bro he's the biggest op for college apps
he submitted his UCs 3 minutes late
i personally wouldn't take that risk 😭
holy shit
!princeton
Princeton University SCEA decisions come out <t:1702598400:F> in your local time
23 hours, 38 minutes and 22 seconds until the decision date
my only personaliyt trait for a while
Barakallahu fiikum everyone
the other 4300 kids bout to faced with "thank you for your interest in princeton university. at this time, we are unable to..."
i mean a lot get defferd
ive been going back and forth between trying to manifest an acceptance by telling myself i got in versus lowering expectations and saying i didn't so i can not get disappointed
arent the first 2 sentences the same tho
and then they say like smth smth put you on a waiting list
idek doesnt matter
I was so paralyzed this time last year I literally didn’t open the decision for half an hour cause I was so scared
im 99% defer
I was just staring at my computer
no matter what happens you will all be fine the fact that you’re even applying means that you probably have what it takes to get into a ton of other schools
no thats literally me whenever i have to open any scary decision on my computer
And Princeton is awesome but it is nowhere near perfect there are tons of other schools that are just as amazing
this is refreshing to hear thank u🥹
I found out yesterday that all classes are pass fail at MIT and CalTech their first year and I am so envious 😭
acceptance or rejection we all got lives to live
I think Harvard does the same thing first semester
im literally gonna be at a movie premier from 6:30-8:00 PM so im probably not gonna be able to open it until 830 which sucksss cuz ik im not gonna be able to focus on the movie im j gonna be thinking abt if i got in or not lol
what classes r u taking rn
I’m with you I got a meeting to be at and then I’ll open afterwards
writing sem freshman sem Econ and Spanish it’s not even that hard of a course load
Other than writing sem which is the bane of my existence
the wait is going to actually be so scary.
How bad is writing sem?
Cause writing ain’t too bad for me but how bad is this
I think I’ve made my peace with it now
mine is notoriously bad and they place you into one
Based on what and why is it notoriously bad
its fine, the profs tend to give everyone a B but its not a huge deal
it says more about them than you
jeez
Mine just has one of the stricter professors
hm I see
bro how are u guys even compsoign togehter
if decisions tmr
its not possible 😭
i got mine in 2 days but
dam
I had a funny story involving the university, so i hope that won me points with the ao's
funny thing, the reason why I chose princeton over the other ivies was because they have an actual aerospace program
at first, I thought none of the ives had aerospace engineering and then one day I look at the princeton website and happened to find it there
what is freshman seminar
!princeton
Princeton University SCEA decisions come out <t:1702598400:F> in your local time
22 hours, 59 minutes and 24 seconds until the decision date
i believe its the writing seminar that all freshmen have to take
its a famous class in princeton
!princeton
Princeton University SCEA decisions come out <t:1702598400:F> in your local time
22 hours, 25 minutes and 8 seconds until the decision date
ugh
nah writing sem is that
theres just a list of freshman seminars u can take if u want but not needed
oh gotcha
Writing seminar is the only required class for all students at Princeton
It basically teaches you how to write an academic research paper
good luck homies

@frank pond tomorrow you are no longer billert, you are Princeton billert
my app is landing straight in the defer pile
wrong
lol
do AOs ever talk to students about applicants that are accepted?
wdym
i mean i met my ao
i mean like the current students attending the school
briefly lol
umm why would they do that
just curious if it's possible for current students to hear news of incoming applicants
lol they wouldnt share that
!princeton
Princeton University SCEA decisions come out <t:1702598400:F> in your local time

I’m new here so kinda just exploring
Did apply Princeton rea tho
I’m sick and have a macro test tmr
Good distraction ig
Not really working though
Man, I am so excited to see all of your REA results tomorrow. Still fine with my decision to go RD, but I hope you all get great news!
ayy i have a macro test aswell
forex and phillips curves 🙃
glad to see all of our econ teachers decided to make us just a little more stressed tomorrow
gonna be fun bc mine and my teachers absences have combined so that ive p much been there for at max half the lessons
and now im tryna learn the rest 🙃
good luck
oh best of luck mate i hate it when that happens
Did they remember u
good luck princeton people
oh yeah
i was like oh hi im lake i think u were my ao
and we had a laugh about it
!princeton
Princeton University SCEA decisions come out <t:1702598400:F> in your local time
20 hours, 22 minutes and 49 seconds until the decision date
I never got to talk to my ao that would have been cool
same
shit youre at princeton now?
what are you majoring in?
welcome to the enlightened side
when people see how goofy public policy is they go to politics the only real major
!princeton
Princeton University SCEA decisions come out <t:1702598400:F> in your local time
20 hours, 19 minutes and 4 seconds until the decision date
why is it goofy
you were so right
I never want to take a SPIA class they suck
and I don’t think I ever wanna do eco300 or whatever
why would anyone have to learn about how policy works
literally read the news
LMFAO
it is seriously not that complex
I think that’s a little dismissive 😭 the IR side is cool too I feel like most of the people who do SPIA do it as an international relations thing
But the requirements are just so restrictive tbh I want to learn about what I want to learn about
I’m gonna hit all the SPIA pre-reqs just in case I change my mind but I really doubt I do atp
i mean i got appointed to the dnc to advise climate policy as a high schooler who had never taken a course about public policy sooo
what does that say about how difficult this stuff is
is econ at princeton hard?
!princeton
Princeton University SCEA decisions come out <t:1702598400:F> in your local time
20 hours, 12 minutes and 51 seconds until the decision date
no
my only exposure to econ is macro so 😭
oh nice
its quite intuitive
are you allowed to double major btw? its been a hot minute since i looked at princetons academics
have u heard anything about orfe
i dont think so
j major and minor
could be wrong tho
i think its weird how if you want to minor you also have to do a senior thesis for the minor
ah ok
No
well the minor has to be integrated into ur thesis conceptually
oh is it one thesis about major + minor at the same time
LOL dawg
Yeah you don’t do a separate thesis
thats a stretch
!princeton
Princeton University SCEA decisions come out <t:1702598400:F> in your local time
20 hours, 10 minutes and 54 seconds until the decision date
im like not nervous
You can do as many minors as you want I think but eventually it gets to be too much
seems like smth to worry about tmr
im here i know people doing like every major
I’ll probably do POL with a History minor
gotta stop getting too far ahead of myself
orfe is hard because it's the engineering track
need to see how tmr goes first
Orfe is tough yeah
BSE is generally harder than AB especially your first two years
Like half the ORFE majors I know are switching to Econ 😭
is this a engineering degree or arts degree?
personally i made it through calc 3 and am done lol
It’s an engineering degree
is there an advantage to a BSE over AB or nah
depends on ur path
had my midterm for that monday(cc). apparently they take forever to grade the midterms so thats nice 😭
bse is more rigorous and will show better preparation for industry
I think the only one that can be either is comp sci
LOL
ah alright thanks guys
!princeton
Princeton University SCEA decisions come out <t:1702598400:F> in your local time
20 hours, 8 minutes and 47 seconds until the decision date
acc rate?
princeton calc is like "so you had to observe that if you squared the x and z terms you get the y term and this is why this parametric function of time is actually representative of an elliptic paraboloid as t increases"
"You can't escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today." -Abraham Lincoln
ive heard its higher rea acc rate but thats bc legacies and atheletes so im just going in with the 4%
Princetons acceptance rate is || ||
or they love being like "notice how you can parametrize this function in terms of sin and cos! obviously solve by intuition after"
nah im just gonna ignore it till im done with my macro test
no i meant remaining hrs until decisions haha
yeah no i get it i do the same💀
all calc or math major calc
I’m not sure if REA is even easier than RD
It must be but I doubt it’s by a lot
im just assuming its the same thing but i get my decision sooner 🤷♂️
i’m in like the calc 3 for econ applications version
getting hit by the "obviously the rest is intuitive" after not knowing shit is so humbling 😭
ruins my day
wasnt a fan of the does this function have a global maximizer/minimizer questions just by looking at it 😭
You do not have to take a math class at Princeton if you’re AB don’t worry
I will be staying away
yeah i’m managing an A but some of the stuff they pull is funny
foreign lang classes 
it’s cause a lot of it is taught by phd students
You do have to fulfill the language requirement yeah
who like to assume you know everything they know
I’ll be done next semester which is nice
me about to just take the korena proficiency exam and call it a day 😃
my teacher goes zoom zoom and apparently its all common sense in his eyes so i end up having to study it all outside of class 🙃
but it’s still annoying
and the proofs will be so arbitrary
i hate those teachers
well sometimes a study hall is nice
ECO100 study hall today was crazy
approaches 0 in the long run but is 0 therefore must have a min. like dawg tf 💀
yeah at some points i just stop paying attention and j treat the class like a grind sess
or gaming sess
like yes let’s take this multivariable function and say if f(x,0) then it clearly behaves this way
OR THE MULTIVARIABLE LIMIT PROOFS
im a madman at computer tetris (i am horrifically bad)
ARE SO ARBITRARY
proofs in general
let me approach this from the y=0 and x=0 and x=y lines yes certainly
yesterday my teacher taught us vector fields and apparently its easy so it he taught the entire lesson yesterday
the issue is, i was sick yesterday so i basically have to self study the entire unit
bro
but ig thats not too bad bc i end up doing it all the night before anyways
i never ever understood why those graphs work like that
!princeton

😊
I didn’t go to the review session but this was my gc
i was going through the practice final and we had to guess that if you multiplied like sin(piy)/y by pi up and below, you could create sin(piy)/piy and use the trig limit identity sin(x)/x=1 to prove it
💀
wait i read smth on reddit that was veyr similar (except it was in columia)
hey man ill gladly stand for a couple hours outside of an atrium at princeton next year 🤷♂️
The Econ building is so so nice though
ltierally the exact same thing happened at columbia
when do you declare your major by?
people need to calm down 💀💀
i want to get into princeton so bad so i can flex
i went thru the 2022 final and got like a 95%
'yea i go to school in america'
i wanna get in so i can be done w apps
and that was like the first thing i did to study
yea that too
ME FREAKING TOO.
so i can go snowboarding over break
snowboarding where?
it’s just like if piece goes up what does this do to the demand!!!
fr like if i get into princeton im stopping writing
😭
idk yet
Literally same
prolly will head up to vermont
Sophomore spring
or NH
i have finals to study for dawg i cant be writing all these damn essays
Thats why so far i only submitted to three schools
my dad promised me he wont complain about the 80k of tuition hes gonna pay if i got into a us school
Lol
havent submitted any RD's yet
Blind faith
i submitted Gtech, Princeton, USMA and USAFA and thats it
That image is so blurry
i wanted to get in usafa but im not a citizen
ive been writing them but not submitting
might as well save a couple hundred bucks
i submitted gtech umich purdue and princeton
the place is nice and their AE is hype
but yeah like military stuff is always tough
THAT'S MY LIST (just replace gt w uiuc)
yoooo i forgot to ea uiuc
but imma rd cuz theyre cool
im a uiuc and princeton simp. if either one takes me ill be happy
I submitted to my safety pton and vandy rd
imma rd umich
Better
i will be in econ and start to wonder how much of the US GDP will be controlled by the people in this room by 2040
yes uiuc is actually pretty nice
Thats it
2040 theres a50% chance ill be dead
What’s usafa
we love princeton alumni 😁
feel like ive aged 20 years in the last week
Oh shit
US air force academy
learned in macro that jerome powell went to princeton
HAHAHA
USMA is West Point
i became 20% more grumpy and suicidal
Knew it im always bad w acronyms
yeah no like on the DL not a big fan of USMA and USAFA
west point is so cool i wanna go there too but hong kong doesnt have their own military
I got into Princeton REA so I only applied there and public schools
thats the dream 🙏
can i see your stats and ecs please
they’re all a little scary socially I think
Though Princeton is too
the continuous lifestyle as a military cadet j aint for me and i feel like ill either crack psychologically or turn into an npc
you don’t want to just focus on yourself 🙏
some of the kids that i met that wanna/are going are chill but others are more hardo
btw its too late to change anything now, but in my hs we literally just write those 40 min type AP lang essays so my graded written paper was done in 40 mins 😭
hope they understand lol
my graded paper was a timed writing as well so its chill
There are a lot of kids I know who got in with lower scores than i thought would make it it’s not all about stats
do you guys think that if I sent in additional info to princeton for rea on december 3rd/4th they read it alongside my app?
its not that im qualified academically not so much ecs tho
depends on if they already made a decision? But unless it’s a major thing probably not
i would say it was
Odds are they already reviewed you
got it
ive had a theory that they made all their decisions last week and they finalized it monday/tuesday
I doubt they’re doing it down to the wire yeah
calm down, youll recieve your decision in about 20 hours
half way through november i was like hmm someones had to have read my app by now
working in one of those AO offices in November must be so grueling
without doubt
have u guys looked up ur AOs
I couldn’t do it
The sad thing is that on the previous day u could be accepted but the next day they were like “nah i think this dude belongs in the deferral pile” and then voila
not even sure how to do that
for some reason they dont have anyone for il on the website
!princeton
Princeton University SCEA decisions come out <t:1702598400:F> in your local time
19 hours, 53 minutes and 26 seconds until the decision date
do they cut ppl based on stats and then a certain portion get a table read
go onto the website and look for the one in charge of ur jurisdiciton
It’s nice to meet you! Below please find a listing of our admission officers, their responsibilities and the territories they manage. Feel free to contact the officer assigned to your territory about any questions. Please note: Student inquiries should be directed to [email protected], where the officer on duty will promptly reply.
what good does knowing your regional ao do
idk im content knowing that ive done everything i could have
i promise theres nothing you can do now to change your decision just be patient
il = princeton's numba 1 opp
go sleep or something
I think two AOs read your app and they make a decision on whether or not to admit
If they disagree you go to committee
They say no
ah so if someone gets two no's they don't get a table read?
only in the case that it is yes/yes
*yes/no
yeah that’s it
got it
well ill be damned there actually isnt one
I think idk it’s not a very transparent process
gahh
😭😭😭
youre from IL too?
i just hate how subjective it is lmao
i love seeing my fellow il peeps
bruh why aint nobody from mass😭
no
stats aren’t a determining factor they r like a pre requisite
where they may bend for exceptional cases
oh also how do they know they are matching their targeted # of accepted applicants when reading on a 1 by 1 basis
I mean they’re so many kids with perfect stats you need to stand out with ECs and essays and those will stand out in different ways to different people
what major are you doing
or planning to do
🙏 🤲
I assume each AO gets a certain number
i would guess they are generally conscious of the fact that they can only accept one in 20ish people
why does 5% seems like such high odds
lake is gonna go insane if i say this but rn i'm thinking of econ/spia (leaning more towards econ tho) hbu?
turn it into 95 reject and it wont 💀
it’s ok all the cool pre frosh think this then they’re politics by end of the semester 🥱🥱🥱
ik for a fact ill cry tomorrow no matter what happens
real
if i get in im celebrating by taking a nap
SPIA is the most popular major but so many switch out
I wanna buy a new ps5 and play nba 2k24
like i've always been curious what the odds look like when you take out the students without the necessary stats
okay 💅 💅
gaddamn
10% acceptance?
ive been interested in ee/cs but i cant lie i might do econ. ive found it really interesting its just ive never had the opportunity to explore it till i took macro this year
im watching wonka on friday anyways so thats iether gonna be a celebration
or therapy
so im exploring it as a minor or smth
Wonka is full of singing
exploring minors
Think about ORFE
If u like musicals then itll be great
it combines CS and Econ a lot
i applied orfe and i know absolutely no one else who did🫡
but it’s an engineering degree
Can you get a job in CS with an orfe degree?
It’s one of the more popular majors for sure
is there somewhere accepted ppl post the stats that got them in on this server
it was my intended major when i applied for the rotc scholarship so like oh well
im applying econ but i rlly wanna do orfe but it seems math heavy
It definitely is yeah
ME TOO except i took an econ summer course coz my school doenst offer any econ
was thinking doing econ cuz it places pretty good still
and take some orfe classes if i get in
did anyone here do a chanceme
might be the move
yes i was roasted bad
you apply uiuc?
i wanted to do airforce academy then --> pilot but realized pilot wasn't possible cuz of my vision
deadass?
yess
yer
cs?
nah i applied as finance
every chance me is like "cure another type of cancer and then we'll talk"
W
not high
you see you have to beg for it
future finance bro🫡
well techcnially business undeclared bc u have to apply as undeclared if u apply ot gies
yeah
most kids applying have the stats for it
wdym
esp rea
how were ur responses
sth along the lines of 'make me not apply to MIT'
i think something like 2/3 of the general app pool is academically qualified
It’s definitely more than that
REA
more REA, less RD
does princeton take half and half, rea and rd
i didnt rea and i posted one over the summer (august) and tho i was going t/o i got like 2-4 responses saying id get into t20s even if i went t/o
makes me think rd may have been the smarter choice lmao
i think u need something really substantive like this to have a guaranteed spot between hypsm, but ultimately most admits are pretty normal
I think so yeah
worddd nice
which is why the whole idea of a chance me is dumb
because admissions are dumb past a certain point
at least they didnt pull a cornell and decide to reduce number of ppl they take early 💀
i think only students at the school should be qualified to do chancemes
if anyone
cause you get a sense of what they wanna see
nah
its a game of luck after a point
they don’t admit by major
some college admission firm replied to me💀
or what they happen to be looking for
though they probably want to see stronger math and science courses if you’re bse
ivyintl or ivybrother scam
they dont know shit
ok good
do y'all think ab vs bc matters much if you're not applying for stem
no
ok cool
how much are ap scores taken into consideration
i heard theyre not rlly that important
it shouldn’t matter too much
I think strong AP scores help a lot if you’re school isn’t as well known
They back up the grades you have
my school sends one kid to princeton every year for the last 2 years
They trust grading at prep schools and shit but if you’re from a big public that doesn’t send kids to ivies usually it’ll at least show that you learned the content
same from what i know of
if i have a 4.0 UW but my ap scores arent that great is that ok
usually theyre athletes too
don't have to send them in
big public school
htats cuz most kids dont apply princy at my school
Lake and I both went to online high schools so I bet our ap scores helped validate our grades
they all go harvard or darty or mit or smth
😭
online is wild
why did you go to online high school tho
I was a weirdo!
i have too many 4s 😭 i shouldnt have slept through half of my classes
!princeton
stanford high school?
Princeton University SCEA decisions come out <t:1702598400:F> in your local time
19 hours, 41 minutes and 22 seconds until the decision date
Nah
4 is perfectly fine lol
i mean you got into princeton tho so it doesnt matter
bruh online is crazyyy
who's we dawg
thats why yall got fire ecs
I know kids who went to Stanford online though
i had academic stuff
ye stanford is the way to go
my 4s in apush and both physics C making me cry
ez research
number 1 on the leaderboard for most times slept in AP physics class
I got a 3 on physics 1 💀💀💀 did not submit it
That's better than mine. My school hasn't sent anyone to Princeton in a few years. I think it's because most kids are happy to go to UC Boulder or Mines and don't apply like kids on A2c do
bro my friends made an instagram acc dedicated to posting pictures of me sleeping during calc class 💀
unfortunately i do not live in the states
dawg what
i got a 5 on physics c mech
who's we......
i wish i have friends like that
you’re still weird lake you are just better at school
do not have fans like that unfortunately
galactic did you do activism or sth
and i did some physics olympiads stuff as a side quest junior year
at a minimum
my school got a viola section account tho
dawg idkc about weird kids as long as i get into princeton
im an avid member
have you met anyone who you were surprised got in
so i finally have sth to be proud about
yes !!!
Eh kinda I did a lot of local politics and civic engagement stuff
bro has done every ec at this point
nuh uh
Not at the level of lake though for sure
Ahh
exactly i did nothing
nah some of those pics are so bad
i was an international first quartiel scorer for the sir isaac newton exam
i was really into physics for a while
i dont think i had room to indicate it on my apps
how tf u drop physics and then be cracked at activism
but it was just like a fun thing
Everyone is pretty smart
like the conversations go crazy
wish i have those problems
lake def spent a while deciding what to include in his additional info section
fr
everyone is not pretty smart💀
ok bye princeton my dumb ass could never
regret not doing olympaids starting 2+ nonprofits and getting recognition 
half the class is like legacies athletes and rich as fuck feeder school kids
|| some of the football players are not ||
thats just every school
its the belly of the beast of generational wealth reproduction
any of yall know a guy named ian
bro why can't i throw a ball far
the legacies and feeder kids are pretty smart I think
dawg what
we love nepo babies 😛
legacies r smarter on average
my interviewer could talk about anything. was p impressive icl
ok wait
stats wise at least
This is definitely not true
youre literally a double legacy what grounds are there for you to say this💀
ive heard this too
well yeah cause like
theres so many loopholes to get into pton
I still think I’m smart lake 😭😭😭 and most of the legacies I’ve talked to seem that way too just easier for us to get in
wait who
me
wdym
I’m double legacy and Latino it definitely helped a lot
im first gen asian from mass tryna do orfe
But even then all the legacies I know had basically perfect stats at pretty hard schools
recruited athlete, college consultants, feeder schools, children of faculty, children of celebrities
but also yay army so
christopher nolan's son is in our class
did yall have college consultants
@short hatch Is Princeton your first choice for AROTC? I know AROTC has you rank schools, but do they choose a school when you get the scholarship?
whats his first name
jeff bezo's daughter was like considering this
Tons of PHS kids who’s parents work at the school
well that isnt really a loophole its just luck for most of them
yeah i got my scholarship to princeton
it was my number 1
you get dealt a good hand, might as well take advantage of it
a loophole to avoid being like intellectually qualified
i should know this by now haha but for rea if u get in do u get to see ur financial aid info right away
they choose three schools
what did ur addtl info section look liike
im sure christopher nolan and jeff bezos children r intellectually qualified
based off of spots + how qualified u are and then u choose from the three
just genetically lol
oh just like logistical clarifications
i thought essays were plenty enough to talk about what i wanted to
did u dump extra ec awards links recognition etc
@wet pilot did u apply for NROTC and AFROTC Scholarships?
is describing 1-2 rlly impactful ecs a bit more in depth fine + clarifying an class issue at school
dont give them everything you have, give them the best accolades youre most proud of
you had so much shit how did u sort them out
theres plenty of national/international work and accolades i had that i left out
i dont have any
cause i didnt find it compelleing or necessary to mention
yeah honestly they probably won’t read it anyways
so if im a legacy w perfect stats, im in!
how much awards do u think u had in hs? 15+?
you have 10 spots for ECs just pick the ones that are most impressive/mean the most to you
yes thats fine! but make sure its really an interesting and meaningful ec
just gut feeling, i went with the work i felt most proud of
Honestly you would have a good shot yeah
that i felt represented my body of work the best
im just curious how did u have time to do alll this
like its a LOT
most of the legacies have less meaningful ECs than the other admits I talked to
They all have like perfect SAT scores and came from crazy feeders though
wow
so they r intellectually qualified

😭😭😭
fuck
They just had to work a lot less to get in
i shoulda just gone to princeton hs
and done DE
at princeton and research
fuck
i have no idea
most of the PHS kids who get in have parents who work here
yeah thats basically what it is
but yeah there are a lot of them
I’d say like 10 in our class
most across us
i dont count my awards/accolades 😭
this is like saying i shouldve started dribbling a ball so i could go to the nba
Lots of lawrenceville kids too
fuck them
Yep, and got both. I'm going to one of the academies though unless something weird happens. Haven't decided which though
and princeton day school kids
congrats thats huge
Wait are you from Princeton lmaooo
nah im about an hour away
i got navy and airforce scholarships too
my school has like 800 kids in a grade but at max 5 go to ivies
i vist every 2 months
Ahhh
and ik ppl in the area
are u leaning towards either of the two?
suepr comp
i just get so annoyed when ppl get into certain schools and theyre like OMG I'M GOING TO AN IVY LEAGUE bc i hate how praised the ivy league title is
my cousin goes there. applied rea princeton. hes def getting in
it’s a sleepy ass town
!Princeton
Princeton University SCEA decisions come out <t:1702598400:F> in your local time

really boring if you don’t go to Princeton honestly
also did u do the summer seminars/programs this past summer at annapolis and AFA
idk how I would have lived here
i visited my cousins and it seems really quiet icl
meh they send like <5 a year tho surprisingly
the university seems like the highlight of the town
It definitely is
its just a small town generally tho
My school had one student get into MIT but thats it they mostly get into British/Australian unis
not much to do
also fuck those roads wtf is a jughandle. they cant make left turns in princeton 💀
i remember driving there bro it was giving me an aneurysm why i couldnt just take a left turn
@polar moss what are your thoughts on new jersey
to answer this more in depth, i think i thought about what body of work each accolade represented and what it said about me. unconventional stuff like being an official invited and featured panelist somewhere took precedence over like other random stuff
So I've wanted to go to USAFA since I was in 7th grade, but in ninth grade we toured USNA and I started leaning Navy. Now I'm just confused, but I plan to study Aerospace, and don't think I really want to be a pilot, so Air Force makes a little more sense.
the fact is i will be saying this if i get penn
sadly ppl r dumb and dont distinguish between penn state and penn
idk about other kids at his school but according to him, if they did rankings he would be ranked 2nd, he was also natnl merit and has mad ECs
ok in that case tho like ppl confuse it for penn state 😭
its just a blob of land
same w like uchicago vs. univeristy of il at chicago
hes my G tho, hope we both get in 🙏
hope we all get in
upenn was double the price of pton for me, upenn has awful aid
and then my upenn ao wrote me a note trying to convince me to go
well.
like dawg i want finaid not a nice note
woahh a personalized one?
i get no aid anywhere
yeah
ah ok i see, if u could isolate one thing on ur app that helped u get in even tho u prob dont know and admissions are holistic would it be ECs cuz ur ECs are diana award worthy imo
did u get a likely letter
i felt kinda bad rejecting upenn cause of it she seemed sweet LOL
aww
nah upenn doesnt do them
I did not think this was true until like two weeks ago when I said my friend goes to penn and my other friend thought I meant penn state
i think its just columbia and yale cause they wanna boost their stem applicants
Thats awesome. Havent visited USNA before but i did the summer seminar at USMA and USAFA. USAFA's campus was so nice, and i loved my cadre
and harvard right
wait is it bad to just spam all the random awards you got in additional info
like ik a girl who got harv mit stanford and also a yale likely
I’ve always thought of penn as UPenn
for AE tho i think AFA is better but not sure. You cant go wrong with either of those two service academies
I know a girl who got into all ivies + mit Stanford and caltech but not Princeton when she applied REA here 😭
fair
I did both USNA and USAFA Summer Seminars, and I've done sports camps at USAFA. They are both beautiful campuses, but so is USMA
yes lol
AO decisions are so random sometimes
they arent reading that hard
thats actually crazy lmao
shit lmao
one girl here got all 8/8 + MIT
yeah same my friend got into all ivies and stanford mit
oh sick i was at USAFA! which session did u do
it might be joever then
kinda crazy how they were able to tailor their app accordingly to each school
😤 upenn can stay mad
which ivies rejected u
is there a upenn vs princeton rivalry
Yes
no
yes
princeotn better higkey
what
lake 😭😭😭
its just between harvard yale pton
penn hates us
we dont give them a second thought pfff
I mean pretentious Princeton kids will say it’s hyp and then Penn but Penn DEFINITELT thinks they are our rivals
pton and upenn were the only ones i got into
dartmouth harvard yale columbia brown
loser schools
Dang
yea around there
I cannot imagine you at Dartmouth lake in the nicest way possible
i applied to a lot
crazy u wrote them in a week
Dartmouth winters I would probably end it
lake how much time did u spend on princeton supps
It can get really fucking cold
those two weeks were a complete fever dream dawg
also does this guy ever talk
First, then went directly to Maryland like the next day lol
probably 15-20 hours
wtf u wrote 20 schools in 2 weeks
insane
same i was at first then went to USMA. Which flight and element were u
so i put the most effort into my princeton essays
Did you apply to academies too?
yeah i applied USAFA and USMA
dartmouth waitlist lol
my states pretty slow with congressional noms so im waiting on that
also waitlisted from uchicago and mit
dont ivies match finaid offers
yeah
or something
not always
within harvard yale princeton they do usually
I know a lot of kids who used their Princeton finaid to get it lower at other schools

imma fucking off myself
yeah my friend got 20k off harvard cause of princeton
but he also like did research that the CDC used and guest lectured at MIT so
Isnt princeton better than harvard?
i would say harvard shouldve thrown a bit more at him
Princetons aid is better
why is that relevant
doesnt the aid itself only matter
its not im joking
not any extra stuff
Since my dad is retired Army I had the Presidential nomination. I got my appointments right after I did my interviews and and just got a notice from my Senators that they weren't giving me a nomination (they work together) because I already had an appointment which is totally fair since I don't need it
oh ok
the whole nomination process is so annoying for the academies
Dang thats cool. I'm first in family to consider military so i gotta get my nom the longer way
It's not so bad if you stay on top of everything, but it can be if you live in a competitive area. Like everyone in Colorado wants to go to USAFA
Would being from an underrepresented country increase chances in admission
I live in a competitive area without senators 😭
We have one representative that handles everything
Hi pton potentials
wait for summer seminar what flight and element were u in
How do you not have senators? OHHHH.....DC?
probably
Yep
Ok thx
Gl tomorrow and gentle reminder to be kind regardless of what happens!!
Damn, I thought they would have lumped DC in with Maryland or Virginia to help you all out. That sucks.
get some sleep billert and yoon
big day tomorrow
locked in for tmrw
im gonna power nap to take my mind off of it
good idea!

Exactly, I’m glad that you appreciate it
I am watching all the conference league games now that i wont be able to sleep at night
YES
i will never have to write another college app essay until i have to apply to med school
Isn’t pton not ideal for med

That is somewhat inflated by legacies and athletes
but there's still probably at least some advantage
Is that really something you wanna learn about on decision day
yes lol
on princeton's website they say there is no advantage
for REA
u just get results earlier
