[quiet echo]

Same, I’m prolly gonna start with calc 1 unless I get a 5 on calc ab

Then maybe calc 2

idk if i want to start at calc 3 tho

hated that class

[quiet echo]

How’d u go from calc 1 to calc 3

😭

[cosmic cobalt]

Dear Princeton Admissions,

I am writing to let you know I am still interested in attending Princeton Preview. This will be my first time on campus and I'd love to explore and get a feel for the campus vibe. I thank you for being able to continue considering my application.

Best regards,

Chris

[cunning vortex]

Dear Chris,

Thank you for your continued interest in attending Princeton Preview. At this time, we are unable to make a decision and decided to put you on a further waitlist. Please let us know if you will be attending either the Visitas or Bulldog Days--that will help make further decisions for our committee.

Best regards,

[loud haven]

NOOOO

[loud haven]

Dear Princeton Admissions,

I appreciate your timely reply to my email. I am planning on attending both Visitas and Bulldog Days programming, yet I wanted to inform you that there is no overlap between the first preview session (on April 9th) and either Visitas or Bulldog Days. However, if I were to register for the second preview session (on April 16th) there would be overlap between it and Bulldog days. Please take this into consideration when reviewing my application.

Best,

Chris

[hazy dragon]

Dead asf

Honestly…just go

What are they gonna do💀 tell u u can’t visit the school u got into

[loud haven]

so true

are u planning on going?

[hazy dragon]

Yessir. I booked for the 9th

[hazy dragon]

Are u an east coaster? Or like do u live far

[cunning vortex]

Dear Chris,

Congratulations! On behalf of the Princeton Preview committee, I am thrilled yo offer you admission to Princeton Preview!

See you soon!

[loud haven]

YESSSS

AMENNNN

[loud haven]

ooo

[cunning vortex]

🙏

[loud haven]

im like a 4 hr drive

[hazy dragon]

Bruh me too

lol funny

[thick seal]

luck wtf is your flair

[cerulean jungle]

princeton accepts LOCIs for waitlisted students right?

the Statement to Wait-Listed Candidates says "No additional information is required for your application. Everything we need is already in your file."

[meager mango]

I don’t think so

[cosmic cobalt]

They do not

[cerulean jungle]

are u guys basing it off that statemenet or is there some other thing

[cosmic cobalt]

no like the statement says they don’t

[cerulean jungle]

h mmm

the stuff i see online seem to say to send one in

wouldnt hurt to send one in right?

[cosmic cobalt]

how would u even do that

[quiet echo]

Coolest person alive

[meager mango]

it might given they say that addtl info isn’t needed

also hey u have stanford, don’t stress too much since u alr have amazing options

[hazy dragon]

Chill on my mans

[quiet echo]

In 2022 they didn’t admit anyone off of the waitlist out of like 1400 people. I wouldn’t waste your time and instead write loci for other schools

[small geyser]

im also wl and i've seen this too, i think we gotta email the admissions office

[fickle garnet]

hi any princeton and cal cross admits here? im deciding between both and wanted to see if anyone was in the same boat!

[thick seal]

@quiet echo

(joke)

[quiet echo]

💀

[thick seal]

LMFAO

[quiet echo]

Go to Princeton

[thick seal]

i left the harvard chat but i think im still gonna terrorize the pton one

im just too sad they rejected me lmfao

[quiet echo]

Rip ye

What school u gonna commit to?

[thick seal]

uci as of now probably

but maybe case western

[fickle garnet]

Thanks! Could you lmk what your reasoning is I'm def leaning princeton but i'm just scouting advice

[thick seal]

or kcl in london

[quiet echo]

Some of my best buds are going there

[thick seal]

good transfer stories

[quiet echo]

Are u instate or oos for cali

[fickle garnet]

instate

[thick seal]

but also i don’t hate any of them

[fickle garnet]

regents

[quiet echo]

I’m also instate for Cali

Lol

[quiet echo]

Are you low income?

Or no?

[fickle garnet]

cost is same for both

[quiet echo]

Well I’ll say this, you can def negotiate w pton for more aid

They’re very generous with aid

[fickle garnet]

yeah but idt they match scholarship aid

also i'm just guessing for regents because they haven't released aid yet cuz of fafsa

[quiet echo]

Never hurts to try, there are the most generous with aid out of like all the t20 schools

[fickle garnet]

but im p sure it's not gonna come down too much

[fickle garnet]

hmm okok

are they ok with people negotiating?

im just asking for my parents lol

[quiet echo]

Yes, ik people who went from having to pay full tuition to full rides, but their situation were obviously different

[fickle garnet]

hmm okok

[quiet echo]

Princeton is literally the best school in the nation, come to pton. You get more resources, smaller class sizes so it’s more helpful to you, and the best part is that they don’t really have a grad school, so there whole school is undergrad focused

As a result, if you’re an undergrad at pton, it’s like the best place to be

Berkeley however has a hella big population, so the school cares less about its student

@fickle garnet Ik there was a shooting recently at Berkeley, but the school didn’t even announce anything til like 2 hours later. People had to know from peers

[fickle garnet]

Yepp this makes a lot of sense and is my reasoning too! I'm really into research so I def want more 1:1 time w/ profs and less trouble finding research. Also ik masters programs really emphasize teaching and theory so princeton makes alot more sense at this point. I'm considering Cal cuz it's in-state/alot of my friends are going too

[fickle garnet]

Oh wow

[quiet echo]

I can also invite you to the Princeton 2028 discord too so you can chat with some of the upperclassman there and other ‘28s

[fickle garnet]

Yes that would be amazing! tysm

Are you at princeton rn

just curious

[quiet echo]

I feel you, my gf is a freshman at cal, so I wanted to go there/stanford

But I’m still going to Princeton

💀

[fickle garnet]

Ohh nice!!

[quiet echo]

Nah, incoming freshman like you

‘28

[fickle garnet]

Oh okok nice

Ayy

I guess we'll see each other haha

[quiet echo]

Are u going to preview day?

[fickle garnet]

yep

u?

also are you down to move this into dms

[quiet echo]

Yup

[thick seal]

i really loved my essay i have to wonder what did me in

i guess there’s always grad

(i am not good enough for pton grad math/physics)

[quiet echo]

Me with Stanford 💀

[surreal junco]

besties why are you predicting your standing 4 years from now

college is meant to help you grow

[quiet echo]

Cause I’m cooked

[surreal junco]

L take

[thick seal]

i believe this

i mean i didn’t get into columbia but i didn’t feel out of place there and i think that shows me im not stupid at least

maybe it is all ok

[hazy dragon]

You’ll be fine. I’m telling u if I end up committing, you at least won’t be the slowest one there😭

We up tho

[quiet echo]

😭🙏

[elfin spruce]

should i write a loci for waitlist?

[hazy dragon]

I heard its rlly hard to get off for Pton, buuut I would never discourage u from giving it a shot

[elfin spruce]

yeah fs

it says this in the waitlist letter

so like idk

is this one of those optional not optional things lmao

[hazy dragon]

Oooh. Yeah then I prolly wouldn’t…idk tbh

[elfin spruce]

aight

highkey dont know why they waitlisted me 💀

shits so random

[hazy dragon]

Aye it’s not a bad thing 😭 they def saw something in u bruh, don’t discount that

[elfin spruce]

lmaoo ye u right

[elfin spruce]

if anyone else got any ideas bout this lmk thx

[thick seal]

💀

yeah would die for a pton waitlist

you did that shit man

[crisp socket]

i committed to princeton in a heartbeat

[surreal junco]

holy shit DIBBLES W

CONGRATS

[crisp socket]

you are not similar to me

i want the kids from my school who got in to not go

[cunning vortex]

[tardy fiber]

[cunning vortex]

[cunning vortex]

😭

[tardy fiber]

[tardy fiber]

Yuh

[cunning vortex]

[tardy fiber]

And they assigned me a finaid officer nad she asked me some questions

now im just waiting

and I meab, tbf, I think my scholarship money will cover the 7k/yr but I'd rather use it for idk food or other things for college

[cunning vortex]

aw i hope they agree to a full ride 😭

right

it's kinda funny coz before

we're the ones wanting to get into college

but now these colleges are the ones wanting us to stay

[tardy fiber]

and now those bitches want us and we are making them WORK for it

[cunning vortex]

YESSIR

[meager mango]

LMK if it works, I’m thinking about doing this w pton’s offer

[slender citrus]

lol valid

[cosmic cobalt]

You make me so sad

[cunning vortex]

IM SORRY

ill 4ever love stanford

lowk if i went to stanf preview day that might've changed my mind a bit..

[cosmic cobalt]

Real

If you’re more into research/academia Princetons the vibe fr

[cunning vortex]

i have a college freshie friend that predicted my college results for rd

he predicted correctly for mit and uchi

[rose lava]

Standflop mid

[cunning vortex]

and then said i was gonna get rejected from stanf bc of fit

and i genuinely was preparing myself for a rejection idk why i was so swayed by a non ao's opinion

[cunning vortex]

standflop 😭 😂

[cosmic cobalt]

Smh

Ngl I thought it was perfect for me

I just didn’t think I’d get in 😭

[cunning vortex]

it really is the perfect school for ya

[cosmic cobalt]

Coke will do an article on it too LOL

[cunning vortex]

YUPP

[rose lava]

lowkey i always wondered

how do they select those people

[cunning vortex]

[cosmic cobalt]

Forbes 30u30 is nomination based

[cunning vortex]

[cosmic cobalt]

OH Coke

Yeah like

[rose lava]

oh really

[cosmic cobalt]

How did Hsxd not get past semi

[rose lava]

so like number of noms or like

[hollow jewel]

forbes 30u30 is fake

a lot of them end up in jail

for tax fraud

and tax evasion

its a nepo award

lost majority of its prestige

[rose lava]

sounds about right

[hollow jewel]

he got robbed iirc regionals tho

yeah i used to think it was cool but its nothing anymore

[rose lava]

idk it just doesn't sound so merit focused lol

[hollow jewel]

its not really

[rose lava]

like how on earth are you getting those 30

[hollow jewel]

its a self-nomination process too?

[cosmic cobalt]

Nah it’s merit based

But its based on

[hollow jewel]

what merit tho

[cosmic cobalt]

funding, revenue, social impact, scale, inventiveness and potentia

of the persons initiative

[hollow jewel]

oh

[cosmic cobalt]

and either you can nominate yourself or someone can nominate you

[hollow jewel]

def ppl at stanford co'28 who are alr gonna get that

[cosmic cobalt]

There already is one LOL

[cunning vortex]

some ppl on that list are very very impressive

rania for example^

[hollow jewel]

but boba?

whatever helps u focus

[cunning vortex]

wait omg this is so sweet of you

but u dont have to do anything ahhh

when we meet up in the fall we can get boba 😄

[rose lava]

the best boba here is junbi, kung fu tea is mid

[cunning vortex]

noted

wait mr crab have u been to small world coffee before

[rose lava]

actually no, i'm not a coffee drinker lol

i've heard nice things from my research advisor though

[cunning vortex]

ooo

also does everyone get $150 per sem

i just know i'm spending all of that money on drinks

[rose lava]

you will for at least 2 years

idk about the upperclassmen though i forgot if they get it

[cunning vortex]

ahh okok

[rose lava]

idk i'm kinda clumsy with it everytime lmao

i usually blow it all on university store stuff because i keep forgetting how expensive stuff is there even w a membership

[cunning vortex]

LOL i dont blame u

do they ever give out free merch

👀

[rose lava]

at princeton in general you will run into that stuff a lot

in fact you'll get merch upon arrival at your preview i think

[cunning vortex]

AMAZING i hope i go home that day with armloads of free stuff 😄

[halcyon dock]

to appeal fin aid do i just write an email listing everything out or do i schedule an appointment??

like if i said harvard gave me 10k less to pay and there’s a huge disparity between the price i got from the net price calculator and the actual package

[quiet echo]

You can ask Harvard to match

[quiet echo]

Write email

[tardy fiber]

They did

Thank you tho

[halcyon dock]

how did u write the email if you don’t mind me asking

[tardy fiber]

Tooo harvard?

[halcyon dock]

yeah the appeal you sent to harvard to match

unless i’m wrong 💀

[tardy fiber]

yes

ill dm it to you

[quiet echo]

Np

[serene bronze]

Can you get rescinded for a B if you've never had one in history before?

And what about two or 3 Bs?

[tardy fiber]

Nah

I mean technically they have the right to rescind you due to a decline in grades yeah

But they really won’t they understand it’s your senior yeae

[serene bronze]

Is there any like anecdotal evidence for princeton specifically

[amber sphinx]

bruh dont worry abt Bs

you will get a warning at max

[rose lava]

I had 2 Bs my 2nd semester with a perfect record prior to that

i am here

i think you should start worrying when you hit Ds

[amber sphinx]

did u get a warning or anything

cuz thats my current situation

2 Bs

[quiet echo]

I have friends who had perfect 4.0s get bs and cs and still be fine

[serene bronze]

what if it's like overall grade rather than by semester?

[rose lava]

no

[rose lava]

wdym

[rose lava]

once again

you all need to calm down it's not that serious

it's gonna take a lot for them to repeal a decision or send a warning

it took them a lot to admit you

[amber sphinx]

They’ve already seen your mid year

So they’re only looking at second semester

[hazy dragon]

…you’ll be a ok. I got in with a B brotha

[loud haven]

YOON I GOT OFF THE WL

[cunning vortex]

wait omfg

YESSSSS

WHICH PREVIEW R U COMING TO ‼️

[ember sand]

!columbia

[loud haven]

[cunning vortex]

oh.

😭 😭 😭

princeton shouldve give u a transfer option

"sorry we can't make the 9th, but we can guarantee a transfer option that will happen in a week ish"

[brazen ermine]

Any advice on how to get off the wait-list?

[loud haven]

@quiet echo 💀

[quiet echo]

Opposite of the people I’ve talked to

“If you look for the bad, you’ll only see bad things”

Everyone’s experiences is different

[loud haven]

im just scrolling the sub

what did crabkingmike say

abt princeton

im p sure bro told me he gets like 5 hrs a sleep on a good day

[rose lava]

lol they mad for what they're not lying

[rose lava]

yeah

though im sure anyone can do better than me in that department

[loud haven]

the commenter isn't lying?

or luck isn't lying

[rose lava]

i just have a massive freshman year load even outside of class + i go w friends a lot

commenter

[loud haven]

oh okay its good u have a social life

[rose lava]

especiallt the cbe stuff

[loud haven]

the commenter sounds like he wants to khs

the back stab stuff sounds fake tho

[rose lava]

been leaning into it even more nw lately since my research sims are working properly and now i have the internship i wanted lol

[loud haven]

no way princeton kids would do that

[rose lava]

yeah

it's only certain people

[loud haven]

yea fr

people were saying that abt harvard

[rose lava]

and you can smell them a mile away too

[loud haven]

but it's not as prevalent as i thought

[loud haven]

oooo

yea whenever someone says a school is like cutthroat or competitive

i start to question it

usually it's a small subset of weird kids

[rose lava]

yeah as i said earlier, scalpel not knife 💀

"cutthroat" not really unless you really really try to make it that way

[loud haven]

ohhh now it makes sense

im coming to princeton on tuesday

[rose lava]

see you found out before even coming here

now commit

[loud haven]

now commit is crazy

im waiting for fin aid

🙏

[rose lava]

trust you will get full ride

and stipend

[loud haven]

the aid lady was kinda rude i cant lie

[loud haven]

if i do im commiting

[rose lava]

they're always rude

you gotta sass them back a little but

you're not a student yet lmao

[loud haven]

????????

what's wrong w yale

[rose lava]

I can be his queen bee ✨ ✨

[rose lava]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[urban sinew]

Mickey Mouse school

[rose lava]

if a school is still absolutely tragic after recieving notable amounts of grade inflation, me personally i'm side-stepping out of the way

that's just me though

my opinion

[urban sinew]

Are you referring to Harvard or Yale lmao

[rose lava]

Yale

[loud haven]

😭

HOW IS YALE ABSOLUTELY TRAGIC

BRUHH THIS YALE HATE IS UNDESERVED

[rose lava]

https://tenor.com/view/girl-please-gif-25397712

[urban sinew]

We just like to shit on Yale because their stem is kinda a joke

But for humanities they are very good

[loud haven]

im not going to yale then

princeton campus is beautiful i cant lie

[quiet echo]

BSE on top fr

[nova obsidian]

lmao i saw this

i feel like its some kid impersonating the prof tho

[loud haven]

@quiet echo 💀

why do redditors hate princeton damn

[nova obsidian]

the people commenting are on reddit for a reason 💀

[loud haven]

😭

[nova obsidian]

they're like "there's no social life" yeah no shit u have no social life ur on reddit complaining abt everything

[loud haven]

LMFAOO

thats real tho

most ppl on the ivy subbredits are so depressed ong 😭

[nova obsidian]

ive seen this complaint across all the ivy subs 😭

ur at a top school with a top program ofc its gonna be hard

[loud haven]

true true

[quiet echo]

@urban sinew cooked 💀

[quiet echo]

Jk, I bet you 99% of these redditors don’t have a social life and went to rich private schools in urban areas where they expect things to be handed to them

[halcyon dock]

does anyone know the opinion on AB and social science programs at princeton

bc those reddit posts concern me lol

ive done research but ive really only seen opinions on stem subjects

[quiet echo]

Redditors when you have to look on your own for networking opportunities instead of being handed to you: 😨😨

[urban sinew]

Why tf would you be premed and bse lmao

my rca (senior premed) said princeton is great for premed because it actually prepares you for the mcat and medical school feels much easier

not to mention med schools are much more lenient with gpa for princeton students because they know how hard it is, so the grade "deflation" isn't even a problem

[crisp socket]

Honestly i’m concerned too

But the pton students ik irl are amazing

They’re literally so fucking nice like the best people i’ve ever known

So theres def nice ppl there

And im holding on to that hope

[rose lava]

what posts lol

[halcyon dock]

yeah i want to as of rn go to law school and still have some social life. i don’t expect anything to be handed to me at whichever college i go to but still 💀💀

[rose lava]

what posts are you two referencing!!!

as someone at Princeton who has the intention of going to law school, yeah, the work load can be tough sometimes, but it's not super hard to balance with ECs and a pretty vibrant social life

[rose lava]

very true

like fr those posts only hit one point correctly so far i'd say, that CBE is hell, but other than that-

BSE is a lot harder yeah

especially CBE and MAE

[loud haven]

beats me idfk

i'd prob do biophysics, mol bio, or chemistry if i went

[loud haven]

oooo

ty for telling me this

[loud haven]

yea that's true

but at the same time i've heard of a majority of princeton premeds having to take gap years

bc school is so rigorous they don't have time to do ecs required for med school

[loud haven]

scroll up

those kids in the sub make princeton sound like hell

[halcyon dock]

sometimes i genuinely worry for them with what they say on there lmao

[loud haven]

frfr

[rose lava]

wow these are harsh

I'm not BSE so I can't speak for that but i know a lot of people who are who seem to handle clubs, academics, and a social life pretty well

my friend is BSE pre-med and she still is in a lot of clubs and goes out fairly often

[loud haven]

can I ask what's your major?

[rose lava]

I'm probably SPIA

[loud haven]

oh that's relieving to hear

[rose lava]

not sure yet though

[loud haven]

(i dont want to do BSE)

[rose lava]

but yeah BSE pre-med is really hard

pre-med anything is really hard just because you have to hit the requirements

so most who are pre-med do AB degrees like mol bio

[loud haven]

true

[loud haven]

yes i was considering this

[rose lava]

she was MAE and switched to CBE because the requirements lined up better

MAE pre-med seems very very tough

also to the point that there is no social scene here or whatever: entirely false

if you have the free time and search out things to do there is a ton of stuff going on here all the time it's almost hard to focus on work because of how active campus is

[loud haven]

🙏

im coming tmrw

for preview

[loud haven]

thank you

[rose lava]

I’ll be at the student activities fair for Sunrise, College Dems, and USG! Come say hi!

[rose lava]

So hey kids how was your school day- @quiet echo @sacred merlin

[quiet echo]

[thick seal]

[quiet echo]

💀

[rose lava]

Ayeeeeeeeeeeee

[quiet echo]

I met up with Riley and we had lunch

It was fire

@urban sinew lowkey mathey > yeh food 💀

Might just be bc I’m a picky eater cause all I ate was pizza and pasta

[rose lava]

AFFD ETC CFYGVGEHSHDBDD AS HDSB A Roma Stan

I love this

[urban sinew]

No

[rose lava]

. . .

Tatty

I’ll give you like

An hour to get yourself together

[urban sinew]

Explain why yeh gets so crowded then

But it’s so easy to get a seat in Roma

[rose lava]

It’s been 20/60 minutes

You can still change this

[rose lava]

anyways i literally just choked on yeh's dry ass grilled chicken and the main entrees tasted the same

[rose lava]

exactly @urban sinew

only thing yeh got is cereal that's why those seats be filled !

[loud haven]

wrong 0v3 😭😭

my preview was pretty mid i cant lie

i hated how there were no “fun” events for just students to connect w eafh other

hella lectures and tours

i spent most of it alone and wandering campus

school is beautiful but i most likely will not be comitting

princeton doesn’t feel like home to me

[rose lava]

oh wow that's a very bad experience

[rose lava]

eh, go wherever you feel best you can't lose

[urban sinew]

Yeahhh it’s not even close

Stop the copium

[rose lava]

don't pmo they only saying that because they were paid to and the food only tastes okay (at best) with a load of salt and pepper 🙄

Roma's the real winner here

[urban sinew]

[quiet echo]

What’s Roma

[urban sinew]

Rocky + Mathey

[quiet echo]

Oh ROcky+MAthey = ROMA

💀

[loud haven]

so true

thanks my goat

[loud haven]

wait they share a dining hall?

[loud haven]

it wasn’t very bad just not the best tbh

i was able to talk to a few current students though

[urban sinew]

Yes

[hidden breach]

wait how

commitment day hasnt even happened

what

[surreal junco]

the wl for princeton preview 💀

not the school

[hidden breach]

oh

i was like

what the fuck 💀

[surreal junco]

💀💀💀

[rose lava]

i spent all of my preview last year walking around campus and loved it i ditched all the events basically 😭

it's way too structured it doesn't give you a good idea of what day-to-day life actually is like here

[loud haven]

is the food always that good

[loud haven]

hmmm

maybe i should’ve done this from the start

one day is way too short

and they structure it with shitty lectures and shit

that’re so boringgg

[loud haven]

exactly

but even when i did explore on my own and talk to current students idk i wasn’t feeling the vibe

campus is beautiful don’t get me wrong

[fallow river]

https://tenor.com/view/embed-fail-embed-gif-24490045

[loud haven]

but deep down it’s not for me

[rose lava]

what's your major?

what were the specific things you didn't like?

[loud haven]

mol bio

i wrote a doc w my raw thoughts can i pm you?

[urban sinew]

I’d also like to see that

[urban sinew]

Yea the food is usually pretty good

Even the non-yeh dining halls

[rose lava]

yeah totally! here to help you make the right decision

food here is great yeah

[loud haven]

okay thank you guys!!

tbh i can just send it in this chat

[rose lava]

let me get my assignment done its due at midnight im procrastinating ill respond later 🙏

[loud haven]

don’t fry me too much i typed it all on notes and it’s just me yapping

no sort of organization

and as preview went on, my views of certain things changed

[cunning vortex]

aww

honestly reading your note gave me some perspectives too

the academics 😭

i'm glad that it allowed you to navigate through your options better tho

and now u have a clearer direction of where u want to be

[loud haven]

yeahhh

[loud haven]

YOON GO TO PRINCETON

[loud haven]

prob not at princeton😭SORRY YOON

[slender citrus]

oh i love that

like

i love how comprehensive that is

[cosmic cobalt]

NO TELL HER TO COME TO STANFORD

[cunning vortex]

IT'S OKAY YOULL THRIVE AT HARV 🥹 🥹

stanford has always been that place where

i didnt even let myself think about it

[rose lava]

if you really don't vibe with it after preview you should trust that feeling for sure

[crisp socket]

What abt the ppl who cant even come to preview 💀

[rose lava]

Real I just with a bunch of others like Riley and lake after a while

[rose lava]

Flopford . . .

[cosmic cobalt]

Not quite

[rose lava]

Very quite !

[slender citrus]

flopton 🙄

i will not tolerate stanford hate unless its coming from a berkeley student

[rose lava]

I got into Berkeley so I’ll fill that part 🙄✨

FLOPFORD

[slender citrus]

Berkeley is cooler anyways 🙏

[cunning vortex]

😂 😂

[loud haven]

it is NOT comprehensive at all😭

[loud haven]

❤️❤️

[loud haven]

true true

[halcyon dock]

has anyone successfully appealed their financial aid for princeton?

[quiet echo]

Not me but Ik hella people who had

[crisp socket]

My appeal failed

Lmao

[hazy dragon]

Bruh I committed! Also where were u at preview kid

[quiet echo]

Where were u

[hazy dragon]

Literally everywhere. Oooh in the chapel, I was the one who asked about clubs

[quiet echo]

Icic

[hazy dragon]

Yuh

[halcyon dock]

is anyone going to preview this upcoming tuesday on the 16th

[meager mango]

i am!

[loud haven]

harvard ‘28 btw

[halcyon dock]

WOOOOOO

[halcyon dock]

what ultimately made u go harvard?

[loud haven]

i haven't committed yet 🤫

also i was saying that to harry

bc he was like he's going to pton preview but he's harvard 28

[loud haven]

i think im going to choose harvard for a few reasons

1. people

i've met a lot of great people online already

and it already feels like a family to me

like i already feel at home

while compared to some of my other options like yale or pton

i've felt more isolated or as if i don't fit in

2. academics

i think harvard stem mogs yale's

idk abt princeton

[sour galleon]

real

[loud haven]

also grade inflation :o

i dont like pton grade deflation

and it seems like the majority of the focus is academic based which isn't a bad thing

but just based off preview the way everything was so formal and structured and there weren't any like "fun" events for admitted students threw me off

3. diversity

harvard has the strongest black community out of the big 3 i'd say

and i really value that

but to be fair

i think the black community at all 3 are strong regardless

and they all have a good mix of diversity

4. location

i love cambridge area and it's def better than new haven and princeton nj

oh and lastly aid

harvard only wants me to pay $6k/yr which is like

bruh i cant pass that up

[halcyon dock]

oh damn i got 10k harvard

but appealing princeton

[loud haven]

yale was $10k/yr but gotta save every penny

[loud haven]

come to harvard

[halcyon dock]

i’m leaning a tiny bit bc of double majoring

and also i think as pre law potentially or maybe going into government

kennedy school cross enrolling economics program gov program and just all social sciences are best you can get

but pton i do love the campus actually LMAO

and undergrad focus

but yeah rn it’s inching harvard not by a lot but a little waiting for visitas and preview!!

[loud haven]

valid

[loud haven]

yes def go off this

i think all 3 are great

like u cannot go wrong

so if u just base ur decision off vibes/fit

you'll be set up for a good 4 yrs

imho

[halcyon dock]

yeah def

flip a coin and go off vibes

[loud haven]

exactly

[rose lava]

Great idea

[quiet echo]

Is anyone here ORFE major?

[hazy dragon]

I know one…but not here

[cosmic cobalt]

u should do it

lots of $

[hazy dragon]

^^ I’ve heard

[quiet echo]

Maybe

[amber sphinx]

is that unique to princeton

seems cool

[hazy dragon]

I’m pretty sure it is. And yeah it’s suuuuper cool

[cosmic cobalt]

No Columbia has it @amber sphinx

[amber sphinx]

oh ok

cuz when u google ORFE

princeton comes up

but i dont see columbia

[quiet echo]

Ermmm actually, they have IEOR, not ORFE @amber sphinx

[amber sphinx]

so basically same shit

diff name

[cosmic cobalt]

BSOR:FE @amber sphinx

[meager mango]

anyone going to pton preview tmrw?

[quiet echo]

Pretty sure that’s a category and not a major

https://www.college.columbia.edu/academics/programs

Top is all the majors you can actually major in

[cosmic cobalt]

This is just the college there’s also the engineering school

[quiet echo]

Oh ic

Guess Columbia ORFE isn’t well known and prestigious like Princeton

This is just like burr vs Hamilton

[amber sphinx]

Can you combine ORFE with another major

[cosmic cobalt]

Ur going to Duke bud

But you can’t double major at Princeton

[amber sphinx]

ik im just bored

so im curious

[cosmic cobalt]

Are you going to Blue Devil days?

[amber sphinx]

yes

leaving Thursday for the Friday one

[amber sphinx]

r u going to stanford admit wekeend

im lowk kinda fucked my attendance has been so bad

[cosmic cobalt]

i cant go

[cosmic cobalt]

id go but its full

[hollow jewel]

if u wanna do orfe at duke

the best way is prob cs+biz/econ

unless they have an acc orfe major

[amber sphinx]

im gonna do CS Econ most likely

[amber sphinx]

oh rip

[amber sphinx]

why not

[cosmic cobalt]

coca cola scholarshipw eekend

[amber sphinx]

oh rip

u can visit stanford another day

coke scholars prolly more unique

btw for coke scholars

[cosmic cobalt]

well I’m required to go

[amber sphinx]

if u get a full ride do u still get the 20k

[cosmic cobalt]

yes u just get it as stipend

or like for technology

[amber sphinx]

do they care what u use it for

[cosmic cobalt]

nah I’ve heard the common thing is j buying a computer

but perhaps one can use it for frat dues or sum

[amber sphinx]

how tf u spend 20k on a computer

[cosmic cobalt]

Oh true

then like living stipend

[rose lava]

lol people are so mad at the 2024 princeton valedictorian/salutatorian just because they have arts degrees

I'll never understand why people throw arts people against the wall like that

[urban sinew]

Arts = Mickey Mouse

Idk yea it is pretty dumb
