frigid badge

sharp hemlock
it won't affect your chances of getting accepted anyway

vernal salmon
first thing that comes to mind is obviously the food rice lmfao
i mean, do you actually like rice
sharp hemlock
this girl ik who got accepted made like a whole collage
vernal salmon

they stated on their website that it won't play a role in getting accepted or not
it's just so that they better know who you are
so just be yourself

Demonstrated interest is also demonstrated by how early u apply as well
That matters?
hardy marlin
would you pick rice over stanford tho
nope.
muted lance
Bros gonna take my spot and isn’t even considering rice 😭
celest cloak
why would you do that actually though
kinda weird
someone's gonna get waitlisted off of that 
hardy marlin
someone's gonna get waitlisted off of that <:carlneutral:828417416434286593>
then they’ll get off the waitlist…? lol
celest cloak
why put them through that...? lol
hardy marlin
also i might not even get in…? lol
celest cloak
the minimal fun you get from it
is a whole lot of stress for someone else
🙂
totally normal to not give a shit tho fr 👍 keep ballin
hardy marlin
the minimal fun you get from it
well unless you’re from houston, we will not have the same regional officer so we both will make it to committee if we are both qualified…
celest cloak
that is
not at all relevant
the end point is that there are a limited number of spots in the class
they draw the line at a certain number of students
which means that if you're in, someone else is inherently out
and since everyone is going to have to get through the chokepoint of "are you waitlisted or admitted" at some point, you're blocking the way for someone else, regardless of region
hardy marlin
that is exactly how that work’s actually… if ur not from the same region and i get in and you dont that means u just weren’t qualified enough from your own region and not mine
hardy marlin
and since everyone is going to have to get through the chokepoint of "are you wa...
true but if you dont get in then it wouldn’t be for me, it just means you weren’t good enough lol
celest cloak
that's entirely false though
if you're in the way you're in the way
if you hold the density of a gas in a container at a precise level, one molecule being in there inherently means another one outside won't be in
i don't get what's difficult about that idea
hardy marlin
there’s hundreds if not thousands of people that get into hypsm early and apply to a bunch of other t20s so chill. im not the only one “in ur way”
celest cloak
by the same token, even if the student population is always within an arbitrary epsilon radius of a desired number, it's still going to be cut off at a certain point
ok but you don't have to be "in the way"
rice isn't close to my first pick so idrc
hardy marlin
if i wasn’t in the way, there would be others?
celest cloak
but there are people who are pretty concerned about it and you're pretty weird for 4fun throwing your hat into the ring just to prevent others from having a slightly better chance
even if there's a 0.000001% chance that you make it harder for someone else, the fact that you admitted that you get 0 gain from getting in other than a small kick of fun is pretty weird lol
hardy marlin
okay but im not doing it for fun fun
celest cloak
you're literally just saying "my little bit of fun is worth more than another applicant's potential months of stress"
which is uh
🙂👍
hardy marlin
im just doing it cuz it used to be my dream school so i wanted to see if i got in…
celest cloak
but you wouldn't go, man
the point i'm saying is that it's still someone's dream school
someone would die to get into rice
hardy marlin
you're literally just saying "my little bit of fun is worth more than another ap...
why are you putting that in quotations when i literally didn’t even say that LMAO
celest cloak
and you would never pick it over stanford apparently
you literally said that no, you wouldn't go to rice over stanford
gaunt stump
That matters?
yur
celest cloak
it's utterly inconsequential for you at this point
"ah grrr i want to see if i would've gotten in" is literally just a 4fun experiment
is it going to change literally anything for you if you do or don't get in
probably not
but it'll change a few months of someone's life if they just get blueballed and waitlisted
dunno what's hard about being slightly empathetic about a faceless stranger
opal hull
what ru yapping about
hardy marlin
im applying to because my enemies are applying and i want to spite them by getting in. sorry yall ended up being collateral damage
🤣🤣
opal hull
bro theres a million other applicants
celest cloak
oh so you're a petty loser
kk
good to clear that up mb
misunderstood the fundamental point that's my bad
opal hull
lmao
hardy marlin
yeah maybe i am?
hardy marlin
or maybe the loser is you cuz ur not getting in with that attitude
opal hull
scrolling through this convo is making me cringe
celest cloak
the ego goes crazy
celest cloak
you were never nice LOL
you're being petty to other random HSers and messing with some people for 0 reason
opal hull
How does one show DI to Rice as an international student anyone?
u should do the alumni interview
thats what i did
celest cloak
kind of wild that you were ever delusional enough to believe that you're nice
👎

u literally started this tho?
hardy marlin
applying to a college is not weird LMAO
opal hull
typical a2c interaction 💀
celest cloak
your reason for doing it considering the impacts it might have are pretty fucking weird
like
you're literally applying out of spite with 0 empathy for other applicants lol
also you literally lied? you said it was to see if you would've gotten in
and then changed the story to "oh i want to spite other people"
💀
what is bro cooking
hardy marlin
you literally said me applying affects things by .00001% and ur raising hell over it
celest cloak
it's not a better look just so you know
i'm saying you're literally just being a weirdo lol
hardy marlin
and then changed the story to "oh i want to spite other people"
LOL I MEANNNN both can be true and they both are
celest cloak
you're making a few months of someone's life a bit more stressful
in exchange for like
petty revenge or smth
it's like ?
hardy marlin
yeah i wanna get revenge
hardy marlin
LOL
hardy marlin
💀
opal hull
🤣
opal hull
this is too funny
celest cloak
truly one of the protags of all time
hardy marlin
bro is just mad his supps were bad
you’re acting like they admit the same amount of people every year
if someone is qualified then they will get accepted@too
celest cloak
this is not an infinite set of numbers lol
they can't just keep saying "alright this one's qualified they'll get in"
hardy marlin
okay someones a math major 🤣
celest cloak
everyone knows there are a whole lot of qualified applicants
many more than the amount that gets in
like i've said this two or three times by this point lmao
like the colleges themselves acknowledge that like
yeah there are a lot of great students who could potentially get in
it's just the unfortunate reality that they have to say "no sorry" at some point
hardy marlin
naw. ive tons of people dm me with their essays and they all have ecs like “freed kashmir and kurdistan” and “interviewed the president of north korea on television” and have the shittiest essays
so they’re not all qualified
celest cloak
great ego you have there btw
hardy marlin
even if they may seem like it
hardy marlin
favor? lmfao it’s literally a skill taught in school.
celest cloak
sorry goat your arbitrary standards of "qualified" that you as a just-about eighteen year old have set are completely off
true
hardy marlin
or those who have help
i didn’t have help…
celest cloak
TRUE bro my bad
all schools have tghe same number of resources
you're right
everybody is on the same footing
hardy marlin
im already 18
celest cloak
that's genuinely my bad and i didn't understand that before
thank you for teaching this to me bro 🤝
AND everyone is born with the same talents
hardy marlin
all schools have tghe same number of resources
i went to a rural uncompetitive bad school
🙄
celest cloak
no?
your ego is so crazy lol
bro does not realize there are tens of thousands of hsers in this year alone at his level or higher
💀
in america alone
hardy marlin
ego? ur literally attacking me for being privileged when im literally not
celest cloak
keep typing
i'm attacking you for being a petty degenerate LOL
with a massive ego too to boot apparently
makes sense ig the two go together pretty well unfortunately
hardy marlin
lets just be real here. u got rejected or deferred from your early school and now ur whining like a little bitch cuz of it.
celest cloak
i'm actually pretty hyped about getting deferred
and nice ego about getting accedpted lol
i actually do NOT dcare that you're applying to rice
as a personal matter
i think the school is cool and i would like to get in but it's not about that
it's a matter of principle
i don't like people being fucking degenerates lol
hardy marlin
im a really nice person irl tho
celest cloak
ok like
everything aside
please look at that statement and tell me with a straight face that it's believable
💀
like even if it's true
hardy marlin
which statement
celest cloak
im a really nice person irl tho
that sentence just doesnt work
tranquil creek
Yikes
hardy marlin
💀
celest cloak
like if i just say "i'm a very nice person" it's just like. i would be less inclined to believe it
gaunt stump
isn't the rice deadline already over
celest cloak
it seems unempathetic and honestly kind of petty
hardy marlin
Aka you aren't convincing the man
im not being stubborn. i literally already submitted my app…
gaunt stump
u can always just withdraw ur app
hardy marlin
🙄
tranquil creek
im not being stubborn. i literally already submitted my app…
Mhmm
celest cloak
"collateral damage" being a few months of another hser being stressed is like
kind of a dick way to put it?
over a completely petty issue, too
tranquil creek
Withdraws exist, I know a few Cornell admits who did it
celest cloak
idk what those ppl ur trying to get back at did to u
and im sorry that they were fucked up to u
tranquil creek
But you do you, actually
hardy marlin
it was sarcasm. you are NOT VICTIMS NOR IS ANYONE HERE COLATERAL DAMMAGE
celest cloak
but i dont think it makes sense to go for this gambit that has like
a 0.1% chance of working
tranquil creek
it was sarcasm. you are NOT VICTIMS NOR IS ANYONE HERE COLATERAL DAMMAGE
I agree. It doesn't do much harm.
celest cloak
and a 99.9% chance of hitting some random dude from arkansas who's tryna get into rice rd 💀
hardy marlin

thats cuz cornell is ED. i did rea and am 100% am allowed to apply to@more colleges. the whole appeal of rea is so you can do that

True
gaunt stump
i think the whole point of rea is so economically disadvantaged students won't have to burden the cost if the finaid offer isn't nice enough
hardy marlin
~~i think the whole point of rea is so economically disadvantaged students won't...
nope
gaunt stump
but then again idc
hardy marlin
its so the university benefits and can stack up on the legacies and fglis early on
gaunt stump
?
celest cloak
it's
both honestly i think
but it's also like
if you look at universities that run REA
almost all of them are extremely highly ranked
they're schools at the caliber where they dgaf about binding
because they know even if they don't bind you you're going to come anyway
case in point you got into stanford and wouldn't go to your previous dream school over it
so they run 0 risk
as a nice added effect for lower income students you're not bound to shitass finaid
but idt that's the point at all because they dgaf about humans 💀
hardy marlin
yup its for universitys benefit
hardy marlin
i got really good aid from stanford
celest cloak
they'll probably claim it's to help low income but like
gaunt stump
oh look at that yall not beeefing over the most unserious shit ever now
celest cloak
realistically they don't actually care that much 💀
hardy marlin
oh look at that yall not beeefing over the most unserious shit ever now

college apps r a rigged game yall. you can be angry at the person who got into stanford and is applying to rice anyways for fun. you can also be mad at the students who pay millions of dollars to get into elite universities, who are multi-generational legacies, who pay people to take the SATs for them, etc etc. admissions is unfair and you can spend hours fuming and seething at every person with an advantage, or you can just. focus on yourself and trust that you'll end up somewhere right for you

don't try and pick a school off rankings
if you're talking about qs rankings
then they mostly weight research heavily
and not undergraduate education quality

Not at all! They’d rather hear from you— otherwise, they’ll be expecting you to show up. They’ll be happy to cancel it, they won’t be happy to waste their time if you just don’t show up / you don’t care about it

They know how to get ppl to come

Like i got in not bc im cracked or anything simply bc im a good match for them

nah most accepted kids dont i think
calm timber
i've been waiting so long after i got deferred 💀 😭
same dawg
i don't think i'm getting in after a defer tbh 💀
i didn't do anything spectacular
my grades went up by about like 9%
went from 85.2 (11th) to like 95 in maths
72 to 80 in chem
74 to 89 in phy
89 to 98 in eco
🔥
( went from 88 to 78 in english tho)
i also just expanded a bit on my ecs during winter break
cos tbh i had nothing else i could do
because after winter break i had to grind the fuck for finals, can't be playing around with ECs
opal hull
ye i didnt do anything crazy during winter break
my loci was kinda bad lol
and i got a B on my mid year report 💀

oh
calm timber
same bro im too attached to rice rn
tbh
i'm glad i got over it
💀
because i was so fuckin obsessed
and i felt so EMPTY when i saw that defer
but now i'm in a better place
after doing some goofy stuff ( like riding a kayak for the first time in my life without any support or assistance or training in a crocodile infested sea, where i questioned the purpose of a life jacket, and had my IPHONE in my pant pocket and then having it collapse in the middle of the sea and having it fall on my head which broke my already broken tooth for the 3rd time, 1st time was cos i tripped on a concrete driveaway, 2nd time i got hit in the face with a rusted oxygen tank)
really put everything in perspective for some reason
and i'm pretty satisfied with my EA results which came after rice did
opal hull
Ye I felt hella disappointed after my defer
But my EAs made me feel a bit better
And plus I’m fine with going to my state school so
