Yale University (2023-2024)

[topaz creek]

we bad

[potent peak]

U get in if u get in

[fallen moon]

oh yeah for intls its just a minefield

never know what ur gonna get

[potent peak]

😞

[terse patrol]

Yale also pre screens applicants (at least intls) b4 interviewing like harvard r8?

any rd intls applicant got interview?

[noble steppe]

depends on country, they definitely don't really prescreen for UK. it's just availability afaik

[topaz creek]

why couldnt it be this cycle

[worthy bolt]

“might have harmed” they fully knew 😭

[topaz creek]

they will have this in mind this cycle

lend me some copium Yale University (2023-2024) this is nepo babies we are dealing with

hailing in from a poor ass family with a 1600 sat (coughing baby) vs nepobaby #71928 who bought research and backed by a whole network of advisors (hydrogen bomb)

[blissful lynx]

My family is wealthy but we had non of that nepo baby shit

So it pisses me off seeing people who are rich asf but they submit test optional

[topaz creek]

respect that shit tbh

[blissful lynx]

Or freaking buy SAT tests

which is nuts

[topaz creek]

skill issue

i thank sal khan everyday

[blissful lynx]

I know a school in my country where half the kids bought SATs and APs

[blissful lynx]

fr

I self studied for SAT

[potent peak]

Wtf

I self studied for 3 months and there are ppl buying tests

[blissful lynx]

But faking ECs and doing consulting is easier for them

So SATs are more fair ngl

It's very contained in my country

Don't think it's common outside

[blissful lynx]

Or really happens at all

[potent peak]

In my country there is a rise of college consultants

And yes I see that they make up an ec for u

[inner thorn]

Is the test centre being too faraway a good reason for not taking sat?

[potent peak]

I think its very dumb

[blissful lynx]

Not really lol

[blissful lynx]

Yeah

a classmate said he just made up a fake international award for his app

Or these companies make up bs competitions for just their kids

[potent peak]

Someone got into upenn from my country ED and his main thing is a fake company that his college consultant firm help him set up

They just worked on that for like 6 months and now they abandon it

[potent peak]

SO TRUE

[blissful lynx]

Yeah this is why imo tests should have a higher priority

A lot harder to cheat

Than just lying

[potent peak]

Agreed

[mint temple]

holistic admissions is such a great yet shit system that brings out the best in kids but also gives way to so much gaming of the system

it's as if passion can be engineered early when you're 13/14 by a consulting firm, i've heard of guys who have had essays completely written by someone else. and the stories here as well, man - nepotism = NPOs, startups, 'research'/FAANG internships that would be hard to come by when you're even an ivy student...

[topaz creek]

schools seem to be realizing this

yay me next cycle

[mint temple]

i think a good intermediary is UK admissions (not the degree tho) - strong academic differentiation thru IB/A-levels and not APs which can be done when you're a freshman but ALSO you have to write essays about academic interests, still have rec letters/holistic admissions but no BS regarding fake/inauthentic ECs

[topaz creek]

hey that sounds alot like singapore admissions

sick shit tbh

[mint temple]

aha i thought singapore modelled themselves on UK?

[topaz creek]

pretty much yeah

[potent peak]

Singapore admissions is very academic and meritocratic

I like it

But it’s very strict

[topaz creek]

the whole country is strict af

[mint temple]

my country is fully meritocratic

i tihnk it creates tunnel vision

high achievers seem like robots

[topaz creek]

you litter you get whipped 1 morbillion times

[spice willow]

Mmm not a comment on test optional policies but SAT is sort of a measure of your academic benchmark, so once the school sees you’ve hit that point they aren’t going to look back at it when they’re trying to create a “class”. That’s why SAT never seems to be “prioritized”

[potent peak]

Well

Also true

[slate rivet]

I didn’t see anyone mention that it’s not actually SAT/ACT required, just “some test”. So AP/IB can suffice and you can still not submit SAT/ACT

Idk how that’s gonna work but yeah

[blissful lynx]

Makes sense, but it also means the people who don't submit it due to poor scores don't pass that benchmark

which seems unfair if its not due to actual economic reasons

[spice willow]

Not necessarily, it can just be a wee bit more complicated to figure out your academic capabilities

[blissful lynx]

Yeah ig APs can make up for it

[spice willow]

I need to get my computer to be able to read that stupid NYT article

Paywall

[inner thorn]

What about a levels like I have 4A*s which is the max u can get

[blissful lynx]

idk A levels lol

[inner thorn]

Ughh its the UK curriculum basically

[halcyon hull]

they dont accept Alevels

they only accept ACT, SAT, IB and APs for standardized tests requirement

https://admissions.yale.edu/standardized-testing

https://admissions.yale.edu/test-flexible

[inner thorn]

Ty

[halcyon hull]

np

[rugged chasm]

mainly cus standarised

[rugged chasm]

[worthy bolt]

Yeezus clears

only song off mbdtf that has good production is devil in a new dress tbh

[noble steppe]

you can take SAT / ACTs in the UK fairly easily

not rly a problem, it's just a little overpriced

[remote vortex]

Is it too late to get an interview

[visual glen]

its not Yaleover

[hot pewter]

me looking at Yale going test required next year when I went TO:

[topaz creek]

its yaleover

[valid compass]

nah dw im sure it won't affect the current cycle

ig mean

but like yale has always stressed standardized testing but idk really

[spice willow]

you were cooked applying to yale in the first place

keep ur chin up lil bro

[teal tusk]

you can substitute ap scores instead

[cobalt rampart]

i didnt submit sat but in so glad i submitted my aps

[bleak prism]

frrrr

[north current]

same

[white dagger]

are u intl

[junior osprey]

my exact reaction fr

[marble pier]

They should’ve removed TO years ago

[junior osprey]

they only should have had it for like 1 year during covid tbh

[rugged chasm]

hes in state

and he applied all ivies

holy shit bro that place is a shithole

[bronze steeple]

this is facts

covid def understandable but grade inflation is crazy at most schools around the country so they def need to consider testing

[bleak prism]

I agree, beyond 2021 idt there was a need or valid reason

[rotund violet]

I’m ngl I applied TO but it should not have been removed 2 years ago

I’m a sophomore and was only able to take the test once (October my senior year) bc I had 3 tests get cancelled on me

[visual glen]

3 tests is tuff

[rotund violet]

Yes

[graceful badge]

omg hi yall

[worthy bolt]

calling it “test flexible” is crazy 😭

[rose vale]

it kinda is flexible

Cuz you can opt to submit AP scores instead

Or Ib

[dusky tusk]

W yale

Kinda sad this test flexible and test required shit aint come back sooner

Wouldve been nice for class of 24

[topaz creek]

yawe

[autumn kiln]

Ong

[visual glen]

Gap year’s gon hit diff 😭

[rotund violet]

I love test optional

[wheat mist]

basedgoat wins i fear

[grand grotto]

Test Optional ftw lmao

[fallen moon]

yaWe or yaLe?

[near geode]

yaVe

[topaz creek]

yaLe until i gets in then its yaWe

[wheat mist]

Wale sounds better

[rotund violet]

I think of wales

Like the place

[wheat mist]

real

doesn't wales have a castle

[rotund violet]

I have no clue

[wheat mist]

this is New Haven actually

one of the haunted dorms

[cerulean hinge]

woahh

[wheat mist]

🔥

i need to vist ingerland soon

this is wales actually

but yeah

[cerulean hinge]

ooooh fun

do u have activities in mind

[wheat mist]

see castle eat fake indian food ride train

🔥

[cerulean hinge]

YASS

[noble steppe]

english indian food is 🔛🔝

so much better than what u get in the us

talking about wales & yale, elihu yale is buried in wrexham in wales

there is a wetherspoons named after him

[dusky tusk]

Bro hasnt been to dfw 😭

Some this stuff better than the indian food in india

Theres 184483939284 Indian restaurants here

[noble steppe]

sadly i have been to dfw a non-zero amount of times

[dusky tusk]

Since covid theres been so many new ones added

But even before then

[noble steppe]

i really dont think u realise how many indians are in the uk g

[dusky tusk]

Same w coppell/frisco/plano/allen

[noble steppe]

yah i have family in plano lmao

[unborn fractal]

bro dfw indian food is not better than english indian

[dusky tusk]

Depends on ur taste

[noble steppe]

quick google says there are 230k indians in dfw, there are like thrice that number in london alone

[dusky tusk]

Are there lots of south indian places in the UK

[dusky tusk]

I mean yeah london is way bigger

[noble steppe]

235k is from CSA level data

dfw CSA has like 8 million people cause it includes all the suburbs and exurbs

[dusky tusk]

Mhm

[noble steppe]

london (just london) has 8.8 mill and 660k indians

[dusky tusk]

I feel like uk is a lot more north indians but i might be tripping

And pakistanis

[noble steppe]

mostly gujju / punjabi

pakistanis maybe but british pakastanis are similarly geographically unvaried (almost all are mirpuri / azad kashmir)

[rugged chasm]

edison nj has a lot

this was built in NJ

[dusky tusk]

💀

[noble steppe]

lol yeah i was reading about this

[rugged chasm]

its massive

[dusky tusk]

2nd largest in the world

[noble steppe]

fucking slave ass temple

[rugged chasm]

but robbinsville out of all places 😭

[noble steppe]

baps get everywhere man

[noble steppe]

[dusky tusk]

💀

Rutgers new brownsville

[rugged chasm]

[dusky tusk]

Tbh it’s accurate

[solar steeple]

oh? interesting

you didnt take bio?

[valid compass]

yup

[valid compass]

school doesn't offer that combo lol

i mean it does

but i wouldve had to give up econ

[cosmic geyser]

long time no see

[valid compass]

which i loved

[cosmic geyser]

hello yalies!

[valid compass]

i would say hello but-

im not a yalie

[cosmic geyser]

[valid compass]

[cosmic geyser]

no!

congrats ❤️

[solar steeple]

ohhh

[valid compass]

tysm :))

[valid compass]

yeah

i love bio tho

what if colleges don't take me without the bio

considering im planning env science

[solar steeple]

lol i applied to journalism with full stem courses

you'll be fine

[valid compass]

but then also got eco

[valid compass]

i hope 🤧

[valid compass]

bro that's so cool ig

are a stem girly though?

[solar steeple]

you do realize the ig lessens the sentiment lmao

NO

i like stem not enough to major/make a career out of it

i love cs though

and stats

planning to double major in journalism and data sci

[valid compass]

i mean like how do u slay your exams without an interest in stem?

[solar steeple]

stem is nice but liberal arts is bae

[valid compass]

good idea

[solar steeple]

oh i have a need to be the best

its frustrating because there's one guy in my class who goes to aakash, fiitjee, and allen

i always come second to him

[valid compass]

oh btw please start gilmore girls on the 12th

[solar steeple]

but i've made my peace with that i mean he's going to iit and im going to berkeley you tell me which is better

[solar steeple]

18th because im going on a vacation after math but yessss

[valid compass]

oh the 99 something kid

jee

[valid compass]

fair

[solar steeple]

yeah

[valid compass]

ik two of your classmates so well now

bro no jokes though

i always have this strong feeling

that u would've easily made your way into harvard

u sure u didn't apply there by mistake? (i need to be scared of u uk)

[solar steeple]

lmaooo

[solar steeple]

same dw

i feel like i would've gotten into mit as well

mit journalism is actually p good like its not a major its like a concentration or something but i just didnt have the time/energy for a separate app

if it was on common app i def would've applied

[solar steeple]

nah dw harvard too pretentious for me 😭

[weak steeple]

biggest name brand uni in the world

[worthy bolt]

Northeastern

[weak steeple]

quit the yap

i was just replying to ur previous neu msg LMAO

[valid compass]

bro i have that feeling too

[weak steeple]

ok ngl oxford prob equal name as harvard

[worthy bolt]

Ur mad ur not a husky

[weak steeple]

is oxford more prestigious or cambridge

dont say equally prestigious

pls

💀

[worthy bolt]

oxford

[solar steeple]

i know but its not for me

[valid compass]

btw same there's this humanity girl who always comes first and i have to suffer

[weak steeple]

i think cambridge is more for me

but im not from the uk so idk

prob cuz cambridge also associated with harvard and mit

the town

[worthy bolt]

maybe for science

[solar steeple]

i think cambridge is better for liberal arts right

[weak steeple]

just overall laymans pretige

[solar steeple]

and oxford is more stem-y

[bronze steeple]

the real question is how we feel about princeton as #1

[worthy bolt]

nah

vice versa

[weak steeple]

at least its consistent tho that hypsm are indeed top 5

[solar steeple]

i heard its because princeton prioritizes undergrads whereas other schools focus on grads

[valid compass]

you could say yes

[weak steeple]

would be embarrassing if one is not

[solar steeple]

oh

[solar steeple]

lol

[weak steeple]

yale

[solar steeple]

ok but uchicago deserves to be #6

[weak steeple]

cough cough

[solar steeple]

uchicago upenn columbia are #6

[weak steeple]

imo hypsm ranking goes like this:

[worthy bolt]

uvhicago deserves to drop in the rankings

[solar steeple]

you deserve to drop dead /j

[bronze steeple]

yeah i heard that too lots of professors at other hypsm care more abt research than anything

[weak steeple]

harvard > mit > stanford > princeton > yale

[valid compass]

um debatable

[bronze steeple]

but does that make them worthy of 1 🤔

[solar steeple]

depends

[weak steeple]

just layman prestige for me

[solar steeple]

ah

harvard def most prestigious

stanford = mit imo

[weak steeple]

yale fell off

i agree stanford = mit but if we have to pick one

id go with mit

[worthy bolt]

FR i would never go there now

Too Walmart-esque

[valid compass]

i would do h>y>s>p and no mit in my list

[solar steeple]

depends on major

[weak steeple]

bruh why was yale even there in the first place

😂

uchicago > yale fr

[solar steeple]

my mom as an indian told me that 30 years ago the only US unis she knew were harvard stanford mit berkeley purdue

[worthy bolt]

why do y’all like uchicago

genuinely

[weak steeple]

OH RIGHT berkeley

[solar steeple]

now we speaking facts

[weak steeple]

imo berkeley > yale

[valid compass]

shhhh we're in the yale thread

beware

[weak steeple]

bruh berkeley has INSANE international prestige

lol

[worthy bolt]

bc so many intl students 😭

[weak steeple]

berkeley is like one of top 6 unis worldwide

[bronze steeple]

bro im wondering this too uchicago feels like an overhyped state school

[worthy bolt]

RIGHT

Finally

[weak steeple]

well it depends on what u wanna do

[valid compass]

my schoolmate u got in is like partying everyday

[weak steeple]

i would never personally go to uchicago cuz all fun goes to die

i wanna slack yk

[solar steeple]

academic rigor, theoretical focus, very liberal arts/humanities focus, i adore the core, insane recognition, also i love their essay prompts and the qhole quirky vibe

[valid compass]

is that normal for berk kids?

[weak steeple]

need that harvard grade inflation to slack off

[solar steeple]

damn now i feel better about myself

[weak steeple]

bruh whos been shitting on berkeley

i need to fight them

[worthy bolt]

i respect that you have reasons

[valid compass]

AS U SHOULD!!

[weak steeple]

top 6 unis i read somewhere on wikipedia are in pairs

stanford-berkeley

harvard-mit

oxbridge

[worthy bolt]

northeastern-northwestern

UPenn-penn state

[solar steeple]

tbh most people shit on the surrounding area/student life/dorms/big class sizes

everyone knows berkeley academics is goated

but college isnt about just that

[weak steeple]

ye thats the main reason: overpopulation

[worthy bolt]

uchicago-ucla

[solar steeple]

ily

[weak steeple]

but i love the environment wtf

best for startups

[solar steeple]

usc-ucla*

[weak steeple]

unless ur not tryna go into that

[solar steeple]

[weak steeple]

uiuc

outside of cs uiuc is like

💀

[solar steeple]

i have reasons for all of my colleges hehe. might even choose udub over uc berk (very might tho)

[solar steeple]

not uiuc

uiuc is the flagship

[spice willow]

she means uic not uiuc

[weak steeple]

whats uic

never heard of it

[solar steeple]

im talking about university of illinois chicago 😍

[weak steeple]

oh god

[solar steeple]

uh the UCSC of illinois

[hushed island]

nah cam is significantly more stem than ox

[noble steppe]

i am annoyed stanford is above us

[noble steppe]

[rotund violet]

Do you go to Yale?

[unique plank]

[autumn kiln]

[raw ravine]

[noble steppe]

it's crazy i see all of yall touring

that stupid ass foot everyone rubs is in my sightline

[unique plank]

LMAOO

[wheat mist]

Looks like wales to me

[noble steppe]

you don't wanna know how many people pee on that

it's non-zero

especially during harvard-yale so so many harvard students go feral on it

[unique plank]

that’s disgusting actually 😭

[distant crow]

recommendations for points to hit in my interview?
I was going to talk about the res college system and how it to a certain extent mirrors mine and I would really enjoy living in such a community
I also have an AI background and their intelligent computing lab has some cool stuff going on

[marble pier]

everyone talks about res college

[rustic silo]

i talked about how silly yale is lol

[neon sedge]

@blissful lynx did you get an interview for Yale?

I saw that you had interviews for all your schools

[hexed folio]

are the rats as bad as they were at YYGS because J.E. had many rats

[marble pier]

interviews are scams

[blissful lynx]

No

I didn't get MIT and yale

[fallen moon]

you put the L in yaLe

[marble pier]

interviews overrated

[prime sedge]

on a foggy moonless night you could not pay me to walk through this

[dusky tusk]

Ok

[neon sedge]

I am asking because I am the same. I got all the others but not Yale and I didn’t apply to MIT

[topaz creek]

yuck fale

this school got ZERO alumni

[solar steeple]

i already got in

[solar steeple]

Purdue is famous in India because a lot of Indians go there

[fallen moon]

y'all this is random but

when you think about it i've existed for 13.7 billion years
i just wasn't properly assembled until like 17 years ago

[solar steeple]

stanford is the best hypsm tho (completely objective)

[cobalt rampart]

Reak

[solar steeple]

damn

[fluid ember]

i just got a yale interview..!

[cobalt rampart]

yayyyyyy

congrats

[void slate]

theres hope

[prime solar]

this is possible at the university of chicago

they made it much easier to do that

but also if you get in your mindset will immediately make you want to work harder bc its super competitive

so yeah you can technically slack off but you might feel really bad about it almost immediately

[unborn fractal]

where r u from!

[rotund violet]

Just a reminder that not getting an interview doesn’t mean you’ll get rejected!

[north current]

cap im alr in the reject pile

[topaz creek]

cap 2 electric boogaloo

[rotund violet]

Don’t say that 😭

[visual crypt]

full ride at urichmond or 20k/yr (npc estimate) at yale 😭

i'm in a tough spot ngll

[rugged chasm]

yale

bruh

u got chosen for yale

cus cracked stem applicants get likely

ull succeed at yale

[visual crypt]

lmfaoo chill

[rugged chasm]

i didnt mean it like that whoops

[visual crypt]

i didn't get YES scholars

nah nah ik what you mean

[visual crypt]

you're 100% right

[rugged chasm]

yeah id go there fs

[visual crypt]

I was NOT a cracked stem applicant

but jeez full ride is insane

[rugged chasm]

nah that writing was insane

[rugged chasm]

i mean 20k aint that bad

[visual crypt]

20k/yr isn't bad at all

[rugged chasm]

full ride is hard to pass up but idk how good that school u got full ride ot is

[visual crypt]

my parents said they'd cover up to 30k/yr for any like t20 basically

[rugged chasm]

yeah so id go to yale hundo p

[visual crypt]

richmond is #25 for LACs

i honestly think I have to check out both irl

[rugged chasm]

yeah fair

[visual crypt]

and I have to wait for my actual fin. aid package from yale

[rugged chasm]

u could get unique opps and resources at yale cus they wanna improve their stem

i see

[visual crypt]

exactly

idk this is hard dude

all I can do is wait and see

AND VISIT

and I'm thinking of pursuing med school after college

[north current]

richmond is worth considering esp with the merit but so is yale

[visual crypt]

so for richmond, 82% of people matriculate

90% for yale

[north current]

i would lean for richmond since med school expenses are gonna be a thing too

[visual crypt]

and with richmond scholars, some of the alumni have gone on to like harvard med and BU school of med

[visual crypt]

my thoughts rn 😭

but I still have to wait on yale

rn I'm thinking if yale is under 20k (15k would be the dream) i'm going with yale

[north current]

wait for your fin aid and def go to admitted students day for both

[visual crypt]

if it's over 20, i'm going with richmond

[visual crypt]

100%

[unborn fractal]

think abt med school too thoo

[neon sedge]

are you international?

[rose vale]

Bro u might be a auto-admit

[dusky tusk]

and you still got other ivies 👀

(i think)

[rugged chasm]

bruh i would go yale cus for med school ull have crazy ECs

also grade inflation

[near geode]

[bleak prism]

Hope it’s affordable!

[visual crypt]

[visual crypt]

you're so right tho

[visual crypt]

maybe 😭

but yale is my top ivy idk if that sounds pretentious sorry

[visual crypt]

true true

but yale kids had to be crazy just to get accepted

[visual crypt]

yale is yale and i'd still love to go

[cosmic geyser]

ask Yale to give u more aid

[cosmic geyser]

wow. Most based person on this thread I’m ngl

[spice willow]

Unless it’s vastly different from NPC I doubt it would work

[worldly osprey]

Terrible take. People call it the HYPSM because that is the true order.

[solar steeple]

mit last 💀

[worldly osprey]

Yes because MIT is a fake school

[solar steeple]

how dare you disrespect the premier institution of manipal institute of technology!!!

[worldly osprey]

It is fake, along with Umass Dartmouth, every school named after a direction, and every University of California in that order

Umass Dartmouth is fakest school tho

[wheat mist]

Remember when people said HYPCSM

for columbia

that was such an era

[north current]

columbia when it feels left out

[worldly osprey]

I in fact don’t remember this

[bleak prism]

CHYMPS

[wheat mist]

this is why columbia is the best school ever

[rotund violet]

Why aren’t you going there then?

[wheat mist]

I need to go to the superiour new york school

[rotund violet]

the superior is Cornell

So you already are

[wheat mist]

Real

How is ur day

[rotund violet]

I’m still in bed

I need to eat but I don’t wanna make food

So I probably just won’t

[wheat mist]

REAL

that is the ideal saturday fr

[rotund violet]

💀 and then I’m supposed to be watching the hunger games with my friends later

[wheat mist]

👀

[rotund violet]

Yea but I have so much work

So I’m just getting more stressed

[wheat mist]

oh

😨

[rotund violet]

Yea

5 page paper due on Wednesday

With a pitch

And an essay draft due Tuesday

• we’re on what’s known as the hardest hw in my cs class

Oh yea and I have to go home on Thursday right after my class

And I’m coming back Saturday afternoon so I can work on cs

[wheat mist]

😨

good luck

u can do it

even though it iwll be very trying

[rotund violet]

Can I tho?

💀

[wheat mist]

yes

write shitty drafts for ur essays 🙏

then finish ur CS

then fix ur drafts

💯

or be like me and keep the shitty drafts 🔥

[rotund violet]

Cs is all partner work

And my partner is not here today

[wheat mist]

ohhh

[rotund violet]

So that’s tomorrow’s thing

[wheat mist]

yea makes sense

its ok

u can use the hunger games as inspiration for ur essay

[rotund violet]

😭

My essay is about art

[wheat mist]

and the hunger games is the opposite about art

so you should be fine

😊

[rotund violet]

💀 okay!

[wheat mist]

thats the spirit

[modest fern]

does anyone know if it’s still possible to get a Yale interview this late

[bleak prism]

Anything is possible

Just chill because you don’t have control over this

And that goes for everyone. Don’t be panicked over not getting an interview because you can control it.

[rotund violet]

People were just talking about getting one recently

[modest fern]

aight I was just wondering

[rose vale]

Actuallt why is Columbia not a hypsm

Like it used to be 2nd

[bleak prism]

idk tbh

[bronze steeple]

bro columbia isn't even the best school in ny

[rose vale]

Wait how

[bronze steeple]

cornell

[unborn fractal]

columbia clears cornell

jk i love them both

[dusky tusk]

come on bro dont play

everyone knows it goes hyp, penn, columbia, then the bottom 3

[dusky tusk]

dont lie kirk

[teal tusk]

the bottom 3

[dusky tusk]

ye

[teal tusk]

what about brown

[dusky tusk]

i couldnt care less

[rugged chasm]

brown darty cornell bottom 3

[dusky tusk]

not mid, theyre still ivies lol

but ye bottom 3

of the ivies

which isnt necessarily a bad thing

[rugged chasm]

darty and brown are tho

imo

[inner thorn]

Doesnt it depend on major tho

[rugged chasm]

yeah true

[teal tusk]

brown is a premed target

[dusky tusk]

absolutely

school you go to doesnt matter for premed

[rugged chasm]

^

[dusky tusk]

smartest engineering major

[teal tusk]

harvard and brown are the two best schools u can go to for premed

[dusky tusk]

😭

[rugged chasm]

cus of grade inflation

[teal tusk]

i mean the grade inflation

[rugged chasm]

but regardless

cheapest option >>

[dusky tusk]

go to your state school?

or the cheapest school?

[teal tusk]

my state school has grade deflation

[dusky tusk]

if ur in cali it doesnt count

[teal tusk]

not in cali but it has grade deflation

[dusky tusk]

no one actually considers berk just any state school

[inner thorn]

Yup

[teal tusk]

they curve down in some of their classes i think

[dusky tusk]

what state

cu boulder is light

dawg

[rugged chasm]

the only real argument for pre-med at ivies is grade inflation +helps you get into ivy med schools

[dusky tusk]

THATS ENGINEERING

THIS IS PREMED

oops caps

[teal tusk]

chem does too

[dusky tusk]

ehh

does it rlly help

[rugged chasm]

yes

[dusky tusk]

maybe w/ internships

[rugged chasm]

no it helps a lot

ppl who go to t10 med schols

are insanely stacked

or haveu nusual life circumstances

or went to t10

UG

[dusky tusk]

imo paying 90k per year for a premed track isnt worth

[bronze steeple]

hyp, brown, penn, cornell, columbia, dartmouth

[dusky tusk]

bc med school expensive asf

[dusky tusk]

smartest brown applicant

[rugged chasm]

yeah med school dont matter but prestigew ill always exist

[bronze steeple]

i didn't apply to brown 😂

[teal tusk]

shit i should've mentioned i was talking about bme + premed

[dusky tusk]

brown is not better than penn or columbia

or cornell

its only better than dart

[rugged chasm]

brown 🤣

yeah

[bronze steeple]

brown is the best ivy league

[dusky tusk]

'i didnt apply'

alright bro

im ngl yale is falling off

HPPSM

[teal tusk]

princeton brown dartmouth the best ivy leagues ong

[dusky tusk]

p = penn

[rugged chasm]

yale gotta improve stem lol

[teal tusk]

the real top 3

[rugged chasm]

they stem ass

[bronze steeple]

exactly brown gets so much hate 😭

[dusky tusk]

pton seems depressing asf

[dusky tusk]

nah theres hella brown glazers

cornell prob gets shit on the most

[rugged chasm]

"fake ivy"

[dusky tusk]

and dart is p much irrelevant

[teal tusk]

honestly no bro its 100% cornell

[teal tusk]

^

[dusky tusk]

no one even knows dart

[bronze steeple]

dartmouth vs cornell which one is the fake ivy

[rugged chasm]

yeah

cornell

darty just irrelevant

[dusky tusk]

cornell legit has instate tuition

😭

[rugged chasm]

yeah for 3 of the schools

lol

[teal tusk]

i mean dartmouth has insane grad school placements

its like going to a LAC

[dusky tusk]

dart alum network is insane

[teal tusk]

^

[rugged chasm]

dart tuck 😍

[teal tusk]

idk much about cornell's alum network tbh

[dusky tusk]

its not allat

[bronze steeple]

cornell location kinda ass too

[rugged chasm]

so is dart

💀

[dusky tusk]

most of the ivies

have shit locations

[rugged chasm]

columbia best

[dusky tusk]

penn and columbia are decent

[rugged chasm]

columbia/harv/penn good

[dusky tusk]

harvard isnt bad

[teal tusk]

i feel like most of the dartmouth hate comes from cornell lovers

[dusky tusk]

pton is trash

yale is horrible

[bronze steeple]

yeah but dart has the buses to get around new england

tho cornell might have them too but idk

[rugged chasm]

but dart is rural?

[dusky tusk]

nah ive talked to alums all say location sucks

[teal tusk]

nah they have a bus system

[dusky tusk]

ithaca is like 3 hours from nyc

[bronze steeple]

yeah both locations r pretty bad

[dusky tusk]

if i got into both i wouldnt go to either

tbh

[teal tusk]

dartmouth students/alums who live in the east get like a discounted membership to their bus system i think

[rugged chasm]

🧢

[dusky tusk]

not kidding lmao

im being deadass

[rugged chasm]

uve said stanford/duke + any ivy over ut chp

[dusky tusk]

i said stanford duke and the top 5 ivies

not any ivy

[teal tusk]

doesnt dartmouth have good ib placement

[bronze steeple]

but if cornell had harvard or columbias location would it be #1 🤔

[rugged chasm]

what are ur top 5

yeah

darty econ insane

[dusky tusk]

what do u think bro 😭

[bronze steeple]

all hypsm econ insane

[rugged chasm]

so every ivy except corn dart brwon

[dusky tusk]

ye

top 5

[north current]

yeah the dartmouth shuttle runs down to nyc and boston

[rugged chasm]

yeah ppl j do econ at those

cornell is decent ngl

their placement is > haf the ivies

[dusky tusk]

cornell upside for me is AEM program and prestige downside is depression and location

[rugged chasm]

ya and deflation

[dusky tusk]

and bottom ivy 😹

[north current]

dartmouth places pretty heavily into consulting according to my interviewer

[dusky tusk]

jk

[rugged chasm]

fake ivy > t20

[rugged chasm]

darty does well in all finance

[teal tusk]

all the ivy leagues are target for ib right?

[rugged chasm]

its grad school especially

[dusky tusk]

cornell is not allat bro

[rugged chasm]

yes

[dusky tusk]

dartmouth is more like a semi tbh

[rugged chasm]

darty tuck mba is insane

[dusky tusk]

same w brown

[rugged chasm]

darty low target

i wouldnt say semi

[teal tusk]

rlly? i heard it was target

[rugged chasm]

brown low target too

[rugged chasm]

low target

high semi

[teal tusk]

lemme see the placements brb

[rugged chasm]

so borderline

[rugged chasm]

send link im acc curious

[bronze steeple]

i feel like cornell has the better rep overall dartmouth seems like a party school

[rugged chasm]

bruh

not that website

@dusky tusk

[teal tusk]

idk which website that is

[rugged chasm]

nah its fine

everyone uses PF

[teal tusk]

it was just an image on google lol

[dusky tusk]

🤫 🧏

[rugged chasm]

aight

there isnt a consensus

and its always up to debate

[teal tusk]

my friend got into mich ross but wants to go to cornell

[rugged chasm]

and one of the fun stuff to debate abt

but darty/brown low targets

ivy historically good at banking

[dusky tusk]

both have shit location

but id go ross

if its cheaper

[rugged chasm]

ross>corenll for IB

[dusky tusk]

fs

[teal tusk]

hes full pay for both

[rugged chasm]

its comparatively the same cost, no?

[dusky tusk]

who invited my blud notre dame on here 😭

[teal tusk]

amy coney barrett school

[rugged chasm]

rich + white + legacy + insane alumni network + endowment

fake t20

[dusky tusk]

ok so basically gtown lmao

basically half the top schools

[rugged chasm]

yeah but gtown kids smarter no?

[rugged chasm]

id go cornell

cus ivy prestige

but its marginal

[teal tusk]

gtown should realistically be a t20

[dusky tusk]

ross has better placements

[rugged chasm]

yes

[dusky tusk]

it is lol

[rugged chasm]

gtown imo a lock t20

[teal tusk]

hawk i forgot did u ed2 stern or no

[dusky tusk]

everywhere except usnews

[rugged chasm]

marginal

[rugged chasm]

no

didnt ed anywhere

[dusky tusk]

hawk got likely from ballstate

[teal tusk]

W

[dusky tusk]

stanford a semitarget bro?

[teal tusk]

ball state is a target for ib ong

[rugged chasm]

target

tf

wait

for what

IB?

[dusky tusk]

ye

[rugged chasm]

if so target

yeah

bruh

[dusky tusk]

byu

lmao

byu goated

[rugged chasm]

byu and smu

are surprisingly good

better then boston

imo

or around

the same level

acc

[dusky tusk]

smu not surprisingly tbh

rich + white + legacy + alumni network

[rugged chasm]

smu>ut mccombs (non-cbhp)

oh ok

[dusky tusk]

bullshit

[rugged chasm]

so basically a mini ND

[dusky tusk]

smu not allat

smu regular is mid

[teal tusk]

is baruch a target

[dusky tusk]

safety school

[rugged chasm]

no

[dusky tusk]

whats baruch

[rugged chasm]

non-target

state school in ny

[teal tusk]

baruch orfe

[rugged chasm]

baruch sends such little to IB

[dusky tusk]

never heard of it

prob non target

[rugged chasm]

wait

baruch quant?

[teal tusk]

does baruch have good quant?

[rugged chasm]

its decent

ive heard its grad is better

i read somewhere baruch orfe has the most traders on wall street

[teal tusk]

what ab babson

[rugged chasm]

its mid af

[teal tusk]

or bc

[rugged chasm]

bc>babson

babson is for entrepreneurs

its not good for finance

bc is better

its a semi

[teal tusk]

is williams or amherst good

[rugged chasm]

yep

the two best LACs

for finance

both are high semi targets

williams is referred to as the west point of wall street

[teal tusk]

did u apply to williams?

[north current]

baruch zicklin mba does better than undergrad

[rugged chasm]

i would say for qaunt orfe is good at any school but esp better at princeton/columbia, but nay stem degree with an emphasis in applied math or cs+math is good enough for quant

[rugged chasm]

yeah

[rugged chasm]

No

not worth it

i dont like LACs

[teal tusk]

maybe i should go into finance

[rugged chasm]

yeah its a good career

finanec/stem/law i respect

if u get into stanford u can break into VC

or even if u dont wanna a lot of ppl get sucked up there

cus of how influential it is

[teal tusk]

what's vc

[rugged chasm]

venture capital

so like financing startups from early-stage to exit

[teal tusk]

oh shit yeah those are all over the bay area

[rugged chasm]

yea startup culture v prominent in cali

esp uc berk/stanny

[teal tusk]

my cousin is the co founder of one and he goes there

[rugged chasm]

yeah vc is v hard to break into but if u do the roi is p good

its not v popular in the northeast

cus its traditional finance here

[teal tusk]

prolly easier to at stanford right

[rugged chasm]

yeah

fs

stanny/uc berk

id say harvard as well and penn

but stanford is very startup friendly

and they have a v good emphasis on entrepreneurship

also duke to an extent/MIT

[teal tusk]

yeah fs that's why i kinda wanted to go there

i wanna make a startup in engineering

[rugged chasm]

yuh stanford kids are all abt taking rsiks

nice

rn biotech is p interesting

a lot of ppl are investing into that

[teal tusk]

yeah fr

thats what i wanted to do

[rugged chasm]

yuh its an untapped market

[teal tusk]

most of the biotech/bme target schools are lowkey mid for startups tho i feel like

[rugged chasm]

so u can get backed by a venture capital fund

[rugged chasm]

yeah

bc they dont have focus on entrepreneurship and dont have many resources to support startups

they r more traditionally focused

[teal tusk]

yeah fr

[rugged chasm]

i would say duke tho

is good for both

[teal tusk]

yeah prolly

stanny and berk as well

[rugged chasm]

yea

and mit

penn too if u wanna minor

[teal tusk]

yeah

penn is a target for bme i think

[rugged chasm]

yeah penn ngl might be the next stanford for biotech
