TY I FELT SO PROUD

guys I thought of a kick-ass joke yesterday wanna hear

[worthy bolt]

all ears

[solar steeple]

what physical quantity is the smartest

[worthy bolt]

brain matter

[solar steeple]

wait you're a business major you don't know science ew

from these

[worthy bolt]

LOL i just revealed how bad i am at science

[bronze steeple]

the mole

[solar steeple]

it's ok I suck too and i study science

[bronze steeple]

no wait kelvin

[solar steeple]

no, ||temperature because it has the most degrees||

[worthy bolt]

i rly disliked that

[solar steeple]

☹️☹️☹️

[bronze steeple]

temperature thinks hes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Bolger

[solar steeple]

you're just salty it's a science joke because you don't know science

[solar steeple]

17 degrees wtf😭

i think my parents have like 4 each tho lol

[autumn kiln]

Wow so funny!

[worthy bolt]

I gave it a hearty laugh

Ho ho ho

[autumn kiln]

I chuckled as well

[solar steeple]

see guys Ruby appreciates me y'all should be like Ruby (i can't tell if your message is sarcastic or not lol)

[solar steeple]

what are you, Santa?

damn ruby went from needing help to gap year girl how are you doing

[bronze steeple]

he went to 7 ivies (except princeton) + stanford + oxford + cambridge 😭

[solar steeple]

what the actual fuck

imagine having 17 degrees and none are from the best university in America smh disgrace

[bronze steeple]

all he's missing is princeton and mit then u have HYPSM crazy legacy advantage

[autumn kiln]

Health has gone downhill severely

[valid compass]

isn't the crimson education founder kinda doing the same?

[bronze steeple]

i guess mit doesnt do legacy but u guys get the point

[autumn kiln]

My parents don’t want to talk about it but I want to be ready for all options

[solar steeple]

:((( take care 🫂

yeah that's valid

health should always be first priority

[bronze steeple]

this guy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Beaton

[valid compass]

yeah

[solar steeple]

HE FOUNDED IT AR 17??????

bruh

[valid compass]

[valid compass]

bro that's such a legit fear lmao

[worthy bolt]

Right

[solar steeple]

what's your next exam

math?

[bronze steeple]

posted on ur wikipedia page

[solar steeple]

i haven't made one for myself yet😔

[valid compass]

chemistry

[solar steeple]

OH i forgot you're Science

how's chem going bestie😭

im starting sample papers only today

[valid compass]

oh wait u too? why did i not know 😭

[valid compass]

organic 💀

[valid compass]

i did some pyqs a few days back

[prime solar]

this guy cannot be a real person

[solar steeple]

lol yeah

[prime solar]

his children are both named benjamin

[solar steeple]

I SWEAR

[valid compass]

time to get back and grind 🤧

[prime solar]

and his mom supports him financially

[solar steeple]

bro i was doing mcqs this morning

Nothing makes sense

[prime solar]

he has two children and he's still in college

[valid compass]

relatable asf 😭

[prime solar]

wtf

[valid compass]

i can't do this

[prime solar]

gl

titrations suck

[solar steeple]

titration is fun wdym

[valid compass]

whole of chemistry does atp 💀

[prime solar]

don't you love doing molarity calculations

and that one unit where they describe quantum spin but don't do anything to explain it

[valid compass]

no no not that i don't like stuff in chem but like im anxious so kinda hating on it

[solar steeple]

real

[autumn kiln]

Yes

[autumn kiln]

That’s cause it’s all hypothetical

[prime solar]

in what way

[autumn kiln]

It’s all based on their analysis of hydrogen

We don’t know if it’s true for every other element

[prime solar]

huh

i guess i should reread griffiths LMAO

[autumn kiln]

They basically found out hydrogen has all these different orbitals and all and hypothesized the rest were the same

[prime solar]

wait but spin is an intrinsic physical property do you just mean that we don't know the specifics of other atoms

[prime solar]

like isn't spin a thing that exists in all elementary particles

[autumn kiln]

Specifics of other atoms

[autumn kiln]

Yeah I think so

[wheat mist]

I'm 05

😢

YES

🔛🔝

[autumn kiln]

Only exception ig 🙄

[red prawn]

something i can never experience tho

[red prawn]

Nah you got Oxford you gotta manifest

Bulldogs Bulldogs
Bow wow wow wow
[You] are Yaaaaaaale

[solar steeple]

im so pissed at myself for not applying to Yale

missing out on all these cool experiences y'all will get to live through

oki

[topaz creek]

i feel like im gaslighting myself that im good enough

[valid compass]

lol this is so cute

[valid compass]

just PRAY 🙃

is there a college named harvard too? anyone heard of that one?

[solar steeple]

me for uchicago im soooo gonna get in rd with that 1% acceptance rate mm uchicago wants me so bad they just waiting to dish out all their love for me they knew my ego would be unstoppable if i got in ea mm im manifesting so hard

[hollow light]

any yale interviews from india?

[valid compass]

iirc someone here got one

not sure about their name tho

[plucky lake]

It's me

[plucky lake]

My interviewer was from Navi Mumbai if that helps

[plucky lake]

Wait Hardvard is a college? I thought it was a soap brand from Hawaii

UChicago I somewhat agree but Yale Physics thrashes Columbia Physics easily

Well "easily" might be a reach but yeah I do think Yale is marginally better than Columbia for physics

[prime solar]

how

columbia astro is top tier

i feel like you could argue your experience would be better at yale but i don't think you can argue the physics is worse at columbia

[topaz creek]

1:39am

seeing my closest friend acing his dream apps while im out here with nothing

feelsbadman

yale and dart are my only hope

where my poor ass is not an instant reject

[teal tusk]

how

[bleak prism]

hang in there

we have so much time

try to occupy yourself

and spend less time on here

[teal tusk]

on usnews they're tied but i think his point is that they're just better at stem generally

[weak root]

Columbia has brian greene🙏

[prime solar]

i was in pupin on friday at columbia and i just don’t understand why they put the pool in the place where they split uranium

[noble steppe]

what actually goes hard is the mory's cup song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPxk4M_03q8

(this is sung unreasonably well i hate acapella nerds)

[hushed stone]

(there are so many of those at yale)

[noble steppe]

i really dont get how, like, everyone can sing at yale

[hushed stone]

yale music school is really good they attract all the choir nerds

[noble steppe]

at the college though

[hushed stone]

i think the music program as a result is pretty good for undergrad too

[noble steppe]

it's a relatively small program with an application process, but musical skill seems to just be everywhere

[hushed stone]

in that case

[noble steppe]

i can guarantee to you >95% of those acapella nerds are not involved in music as a course of study

[hushed stone]

no clude

extracurricular a capella though mb?

[noble steppe]

yah but like they didnt magically get good at singing

[cosmic geyser]

i think columbia is actually

ofc this depends on the subfield you're interested in

[north current]

yeah i think columbia is stronger for stem

[teal tusk]

what happens if i submit 3 updates

[north current]

i dont think they mind that much but ik for some schools theyd rather have you submit all at once

[teal tusk]

i just forgot to include some academic information

[north current]

youre good then

[bleak prism]

They don’t want more than 1-2 per sem

[teal tusk]

oh ok i submitted both last semester

one is just like i applied to the wrong major 💀

[unique plank]

oh

see me i submitted 7 so

take it or leave it

[quaint thicket]

not overthinking just curious what does just having an interview last week of february mean like imo it’s pretty late

[unique plank]

it means you’re atleast still in the running

i would honestly take it as a good sign

they could have just been waiting on someone available to interview you

or really just now getting to your app possibly

[quaint thicket]

tbh i agree with the last point

didn’t they get like record number of apps too

tbh i think interview requests are still going to come out for people still freaking out

[bleak prism]

yeah

it’s not too late

[autumn kiln]

At least you got an interview 😁

Cannot relate 😭

[hushed stone]

bro same t-t

doing everything in my power to not overthink

[bleak prism]

I don’t think it means much

In REA I got my interview pretty late too, like late November

[hushed stone]

i'm also just kinda perplexed why my interviewer is literally on the other side of the country

[bleak prism]

just wait it out

[bleak prism]

This happened to me too for another school 😂

[hushed stone]

'cause i thought interviews were like arranged by regional alum associations

[bleak prism]

Like why

[hushed stone]

i don't get it

and neither did my interview

er

[bleak prism]

yeah…I guess they really want to interview you

[hushed stone]

(we messed up scheduling 'cause we didn't realize we were three hours apart lmao)

my guess is that they're trying to match interests?

maybe that's a yale thing?

idk this is the only interviwer i've had in my major

[rotund violet]

That’s interesting that they chose someone who wasn’t close

Yale could prioritize interests over being close I guess

[hushed stone]

ig so 🤷

kinda wacky 'cause my interviewer said she hasn't gotten anyone outside her region other than me

maybe there are just like

no yalies in my area even though i live in a city?????

eh probably doesn't mean anything

[rotund violet]

Yea who knows

[radiant harbor]

i got a c in physics second quarter but a A first quarter

do i say something abt in academic updates

there isn’t much to say other than it’s hard and i’m just not doing that good but i am actually studying and trying 😭

i don’t want them to think i was just slacking but i don’t know if admitting im just not good at it helps either

[radiant harbor]

my interviewer is super close but we also had similar interests

[unique plank]

if the semester average is what they see and it’s a b, i think you should leave it alone

[teal tusk]

whats ur major

[radiant harbor]

they see both quarters and the semester average

[radiant harbor]

political sciecne

[teal tusk]

does your quarters show up on ur transcript or just the semester average

[unique plank]

i mean i get your concern, but what would be in your explanation

[radiant harbor]

q1 q2 abd s1

[unique plank]

thankful only my semesters show up on my transcript

[radiant harbor]

there isnt a crazy explanation im just struggling

[unique plank]

i feel like with your major

you don’t really have to explain that

idk though

[unique plank]

is your school pretty rigorous?

and do you think they would know that

[radiant harbor]

its decent

they have our school report

its like 90th in pa

[unique plank]

how’s ur other grades?

[radiant harbor]

all a's except a 89 in bc calc s2 and a 89 in ap gov s2

s1 calc was a 97

s1 gov is a 94

i've never had less than a A previous to this

[plucky lake]

I'm not saying Columbia Physics is bad, I'm just saying Yale Undergrad Physics is slightly better

[teal tusk]

in what metric or way

i think its like apples to apples lmao

[valid compass]

how was the interview btw?

[plucky lake]

While the difference is marginal, it's pretty easy to make out that difference is what I intend to say

Yale has better Grad School Placements for Physics iirc

And more opportunities in Astroparticle and Quantum Physics

[teal tusk]

yk that makes sense

i heard they give crazy money for undergrad stem research

[plucky lake]

Yeah

Columbia probably has better research opps all around the board, but Yale is incredibly strong in Astroparticle and Quantum

[teal tusk]

that makes sense too columbia labs was trying to recruit us to work in their labs at EPC 😭

[plucky lake]

For Math and CS I have to concede Columbia is better

[potent peak]

Princeton >

[teal tusk]

Princeton is exceptional at physics

[plucky lake]

Imo for Physics

S Tier: Caltech, MIT, Princeton
S- Tier: Stanford, UChicago, Harvard(?)
A+ Tier: Yale, Berkeley, Columbia, Harvey Mudd(?), Cornell(?)

Interesting

Why do you think so

[potent peak]

Is it advisable to pursue physics undergrad if you come in as a legit physics noob

[teal tusk]

columbia seems stressful undergrad

[plucky lake]

Yeah

[unborn fractal]

I wouldn’t think so but who knows

[potent peak]

I hate physics

But physics is an OP major

[plucky lake]

Me personally I didn't apply to Columbia because of the small boxy campus, the core, and being right in the middle of NYC

[unborn fractal]

Yup easy pathway into any career or grad placement

[plucky lake]

Idk if its "right in the middle" but it is in the city

[plucky lake]

I saw a stat like there's more Physics majors in Quant than Econ Majors at one of the ivies

[teal tusk]

which one

[unborn fractal]

This makes sense though

[plucky lake]

I don't really remember

[unborn fractal]

Econ isn’t a Quant pathway

[potent peak]

Thats why

Lol

[plucky lake]

You'd think Physics isn't either

[teal tusk]

is getting a phd in math or going to baruch masters better for quant?

[unborn fractal]

No it is

[potent peak]

The best econ can lead you to is IB i believe

[unborn fractal]

You wan’t a strong mathematical background

For quant

[potent peak]

Or consulting

[unborn fractal]

econ can lead to IB private equity VC consulting etc

[plucky lake]

Then again there's a chunk of Physics majors in IB and consulting too

[unborn fractal]

an econ + physics or econ + math major can do nasty things

[potent peak]

Pls

[plucky lake]

Elon Musk:

[unborn fractal]

whats baruch

[unborn fractal]

was he one of those?

[plucky lake]

Yes

Econ + Phy at Penn

[unborn fractal]

i’m probably going to do econ + math if i go to a school other than wharton or UT

[teal tusk]

baruch college

look up baruch quant

[unborn fractal]

financial engineering at columbia and ORFE at princeton

[potent peak]

Elon is another breed of human

[potent peak]

Team orfe

👌

[teal tusk]

ORFE W

[unborn fractal]

orfe is not taking me smh

[potent peak]

Idk if i can handle the curriculum though

[unborn fractal]

i should have applied econ

[plucky lake]

If Wharton Sloan Stern Ross and UChicago didn't exist

[potent peak]

If not I might taper down to econ

🤣

[unborn fractal]

i dont have a strong math background

[potent peak]

Me neither

[unborn fractal]

other than a perf sat

[plucky lake]

Which school would be the best for econ/business/finance

[unborn fractal]

so idk why i applied orfe

i focused wayyyy more on the operations part

[potent peak]

I have a strong background in using MS excel as calculator 😭

[unborn fractal]

REAL

[unborn fractal]

princeton

[valid compass]

should be wharton

no?

[unborn fractal]

If those didnt exist

[potent peak]

Wharton realistically

[teal tusk]

stanford for vc

[plucky lake]

If Wharton Sloan Stern Ross and UChic didn't exist

[valid compass]

oh

[potent peak]

Haas

😃

[teal tusk]

oh wait hbs fs

[plucky lake]

What about outside of Cali

[valid compass]

are we talking only undergrad?

[plucky lake]

Not really

[teal tusk]

sloan isnt undergrad

[plucky lake]

Yeah

[teal tusk]

HBS

harvard

[valid compass]

how's duke fuqua?

[potent peak]

Kellogg

Booth

What else

[teal tusk]

oh yeah kellogg and booth are insane

[potent peak]

Dyt an MBA degree is needed after a strong finance ugrad degree?

[unborn fractal]

no its not

well

depends

on the program

[valid compass]

generally not

[teal tusk]

usually an employer might pay for it

[unborn fractal]

yeah

[teal tusk]

if its needed

[unborn fractal]

but idt an mba is needed after wharton

but after an math undergrad prob

or like ORFE

i doubt it for orge

orde

orfe

[valid compass]

a student from my school did her undergrad at wharton and then went straight into corporate world

[teal tusk]

you could also just do the 1 year accelerated mba too

[unborn fractal]

true but theres no pt

its like the same stuff

an extra degree ig

i am now regretting applying ORFE to princeton

[potent peak]

Whyy

[valid compass]

works at mckinsey so i don't see how an mba degree mightve helped much

[teal tusk]

holy shit only 1/3 of alumni go to get an mba after wharton

thats so little

[valid compass]

because wharton is like the only undergrad b school

[unborn fractal]

my essay i think is great

[plucky lake]

Ik it isn't talked about that much but what's the best school for sustainable energy

[valid compass]

u don't technically need an mba after that

[unborn fractal]

but i dont have an analytical/mathematixal background

[teal tusk]

what ab ross or stern

[potent peak]

No?

[unborn fractal]

ross stern sloan haas mccombs

[plucky lake]

Guys what's ORFE

[potent peak]

Haas, stern, ross

[valid compass]

no no

not what i meant

[unborn fractal]

op research and financial engineering

[plucky lake]

I see

[valid compass]

i was trying to factor in prestige (in terms of placements and stuff)

[unborn fractal]

ah

[valid compass]

i don't know why i used the 'only' tho

lol

[vague oxide]

could you elaborate on this? what kinds of opportunities are available for math + economics ppl

[unborn fractal]

analytical + conceptual

you can prob go into quant, IB, consulting, PE, anything reallt

[rugged loom]

what's PE?

[unborn fractal]

private equity

[wary star]

hi chat

[wary star]

m o n e y

[vague oxide]

[rugged chasm]

Any finance lol

[solar steeple]

don't they have enough money of their own

[rugged chasm]

Depends where phd but Baruch masters is good for quant

I’d say phd from berk would suffice or uchuciago cus quant is rigorous math

[valid compass]

start watching shark tank

[unborn fractal]

not quite

[solar steeple]

i should

[rugged chasm]

What comparison r u making? Sloan is grad

[rugged chasm]

Ah I see, Columbia/uchicago/princeton

For ug ^

For grad hbs + Stanford

[rugged chasm]

Good m7

[rugged chasm]

Any m7 so tuck stern Dyson, etc

[solar steeple]

hbs is harvard?

[autumn kiln]

You’re so devoted to finance bro

[rugged chasm]

Not always + it depends where mba u getting, I’d say if ur alr into finance then u don’t need it, but IB-> elite mba pathway is common

[autumn kiln]

Why do you want to do med when you’re so into something else 😭

[valid compass]

harvard business school

my next dream

after undergrad lmao

[rugged chasm]

Wharton basically covers mba iirc and it’s too OP

[rugged chasm]

Not needed if u went there UG cuz both IB targets

[rugged chasm]

No they invest very little of their own and funds + investors/companies fund them

[rugged chasm]

Yeah

[rugged chasm]

Job security

[solar steeple]

MS LUCK😭😭😭😭😭😭

[potent peak]

The dream goes on

[valid compass]

[rugged chasm]

I wont make it into top ug biz school

Started this process way too late

[autumn kiln]

You can be secure in business too

[autumn kiln]

You don’t have to

[rugged chasm]

I’ll always be lmao which is why I’m gonna find an intersectionality between med/finance

[rugged chasm]

I mean u kinda do

Or else u wont earn

I live to earn

Time is money

[rugged chasm]

Depends what ppl define secure

[autumn kiln]

Do you even like med 😭

[rugged chasm]

My expectations are very high

[potent peak]

Live laugh (high) liquidity

[autumn kiln]

No my cousin goes to a Canadian business school and she’s going into vc

My other cousin went to the same Canadian business school and works at Goldman now

[rugged chasm]

Not rlly maybe chem/anatomy

[rugged chasm]

Ivey biz school?

[autumn kiln]

Pick a secure job

[autumn kiln]

Yeah

[rugged chasm]

That sxhool is p good target

[autumn kiln]

They’re Canadian though

[rugged chasm]

It’s an exception it’s the HBS of canada

[rugged chasm]

Med or finance, law won’t do

[autumn kiln]

Idk what hbs is

[rugged chasm]

Harvard viz school

[autumn kiln]

💀

[rugged chasm]

Ivey biz is very rated here

[autumn kiln]

You’re going to be depressed asf

[autumn kiln]

Did you apply

[rugged chasm]

Nah my parents didn’t let me go that far

I wouldn’t have done it tho

Either way

[solar steeple]

why

Law is closer to business than med

[rugged chasm]

Cus u gotta work high law or else ur stagnant

[solar steeple]

You can major in business at a t50 and go to a T20 law school

[rugged chasm]

I don’t like law that much either

I prefer med

[solar steeple]

high law as in?

[solar steeple]

do you like med💀

[solar steeple]

damn

[rugged chasm]

The big law firms

Like Kirkland

And Ellis

Or you could be partner either way big law is secure

[valid compass]

was that started by kirk or what?

[rugged chasm]

I’m trying to like it, looking into anatomy and physiology rn

[potent peak]

😭

[rugged chasm]

Two attorneys in 1910

[potent peak]

Try read sobotta and think if you still like med or not

[rugged chasm]

Whats that

[potent peak]

Med school book ( supposedly?)

[rugged chasm]

I see

Was gonna try doing usabo problems but I couldn’t get past the first page

[potent peak]

I read that to prepare for bio oly and i was on the verge of throwing up

🤮

[rotund violet]

why?

[rugged chasm]

Idk money is the incentive and pride

[rotund violet]

wait is it bad? 💀

[rugged chasm]

U got ibo tho

[potent peak]

Bcs i suck at memorizing

[autumn kiln]

For how long?

[potent peak]

Like the exact names

[rugged chasm]

Till I surprass my parents

[potent peak]

I understand the entire gist

[autumn kiln]

And then?

[potent peak]

But if you ask me to recite what bone where i’d rather shoot myself in the foot

[rugged chasm]

Then I’ll be content

[autumn kiln]

For how long?

[rugged chasm]

Forever…?

[rotund violet]

have you tried doing like association memory?

[autumn kiln]

You’d still have to work

[potent peak]

No..

[rotund violet]

i think that's what it's called

[rugged chasm]

If I do med I’d pivot more to CMO by then tho

Or director

[potent peak]

I’ve retired from bio olys anyways

[autumn kiln]

Wow care Harvard wasn’t cutting it for you 😳

[rotund violet]

oh

[rugged chasm]

Which is better imo

[autumn kiln]

Alright

[rotund violet]

yea sadly no. I had to choose another

[autumn kiln]

Truly unfortunate I’m sure Ithaca solos Medford and Cambridge anyways

[rotund violet]

oh yea i dont think so ngl

[potent peak]

Ppl say ithaca is depressing

[autumn kiln]

Are you transferring back !

[autumn kiln]

Yeah I’ve heard this

[rotund violet]

no

[autumn kiln]

Is Cornell better

[rotund violet]

also no

[potent peak]

Do you think it’s a good idea to coincide ivy day with a holiday trip

[rotund violet]

cornell starts in august and ends in may

[autumn kiln]

Then why are you staying

[autumn kiln]

Yes

[potent peak]

My friend is planning her holiday outing and she wants to coincide it with ivy day

[rotund violet]

i may actually transfer back next year

[autumn kiln]

Ohh makes sense

[rotund violet]

i just wanted to fo to the same school as my brother

[potent peak]

Rlly? I thought it could be a bad idea

[solar steeple]

Are you actually at Cornell

[autumn kiln]

If you’re going with your family it should be fine

[valid compass]

u were at harvard no?

or tufts?

[solar steeple]

Harvard

[valid compass]

or something

[potent peak]

Its a friends trip

[valid compass]

go ahead u got pton in the bag

[potent peak]

So mutiple ppl opening ivy day together on holiday

[autumn kiln]

Oh

[potent peak]

Its not abt me

[autumn kiln]

I mean if you’re comfortable

[unborn fractal]

Yes!

[autumn kiln]

You’re already ivy bound it can’t be a bad thing in terms of your emotions

[rotund violet]

yes

[valid compass]

oh sorry 😭

what's the matter then?

[rotund violet]

cornell

[potent peak]

I’m not thinking of my emotions honestly im thinking abt my friends’ bcs they havent received any interviews at all

[valid compass]

oh no 🤧

[potent peak]

And honestly idt they’ll get in but they’re so hyped

[solar steeple]

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

yeah that could be delicate

[potent peak]

💀

[valid compass]

don't go

thank you

[solar steeple]

tbh i didn't think my friend would get into umich

but he did

with a 2.6 junior year gpa

you never know

[autumn kiln]

I think if you’re super supportive it should be fine

[potent peak]

Interesting

[valid compass]

sorry change of heart

u should go

[potent peak]

Ok then I’m going fingers crossed our friendship stays intact after the trip

[valid compass]

they'll need u

[valid compass]

it will

[solar steeple]

nah even if they're supportive, if they get into even one ivy but none of the friends get into none it'll be rough

like if they've already got into other schools it's fine

[potent peak]

The thing is my friends r delulu for a bit

[solar steeple]

for example i got into berk so even if i get rejected all 3 ivies and my friend gets into 2 I'll be okay

[potent peak]

I think im helping them feed into their delulu bcs i got in and i applied to many top unis

[solar steeple]

but if the friends got into nothing and get rejected everything it'll be uh

[valid compass]

how many are they exactly?

[potent peak]

5

[solar steeple]

Did they get into anything so far?

[potent peak]

No

[valid compass]

5 should be fine uk

[autumn kiln]

That’s not on sphinx then and yeah friends might be jealous but they can help them move on

[solar steeple]

No eas? Or rejection so far?

[potent peak]

No eas

All rds

[solar steeple]

def not on sphinx but I mean it'll most likely ruin the trip and vibe

[valid compass]

but friends shouldn't be jealous right? 😭

[solar steeple]

all of them did ivies?

[solar steeple]

it's very hard not to be jealous

Because you grew up with this person

[potent peak]

The thing is they think bcs i got in they also have a chance on getting it while the truth is i won like olys, i’m the vald and i had ecs while they are regular hs kids

[solar steeple]

You've seen them do the things they did

[potent peak]

😭

[valid compass]

oh no

[potent peak]

Yeah

[solar steeple]

You know them inside and out

[potent peak]

Yeah

Sort of

[solar steeple]

yes this is valid

[valid compass]

oops

[potent peak]

But i cant break it to them

This is down

[solar steeple]

i stopped telling my college results to my friends because i feel like they break on the inside a little everytime i get into a good school

[potent peak]

*dumb

[solar steeple]

Just schedule the trip for later

[potent peak]

One of the ppl in this trip is the one

Who held a party for harvard deferral

😭

[valid compass]

is ivy day like a planned thing or just randomly falling during the time of the trip?

[solar steeple]

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

LMAO INSANE

[potent peak]

Planned

[valid compass]

💀 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[valid compass]

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[potent peak]

Everyone gets deferred by harvard 😭

I just cant tell it

[solar steeple]

Not everyone

87%

[potent peak]

Yeah thats the majority

[solar steeple]

There are people who get rejected too!!!

[potent peak]

😭

This is so dumb ngl

[potent peak]

So true

I shouldve gatekept princeton 😭

[valid compass]

you're in serious trouble bestie

good luck 🤧

[potent peak]

Ik

💀

[solar steeple]

Imo

Don't open your ivy day results with your friends

Say that you wanna open with family or some shit

If they get in you can open

But if not

the agony of waiting will be bad but the agony of getting in when your friends don't is uh worse imo

[potent peak]

Ik

Yeah i think imma gatekeep all my upcoming decisions

Whatever they are

[solar steeple]

that would be best

[potent peak]

Thanks for the advice smrithi and ms luck

🍀

[valid compass]

anytime bestie 🍀

[solar steeple]

ofc, lmk how it goes!

[unborn fractal]

Wait where’d you apply

[near geode]

the agony of all your friends getting in but you didnt is even worse imo

[valid compass]

yesterday is today

[solar steeple]

yeah but sphinx got in Princeton rea so it literally doesn't even matter + they said they're Val and do olys and have good ecs and their friends don't so

[tropic yew]

that's so sad though

why would you need to gatekeep from your friends

they're just gonna be happy for you, right?

(i can understand why you would hesitate to do it/think that you're gonna hurt their feelings)

but at the end of the day friends always want the best for you so they wouldn't be sad if you do well, they'd be happy? right?

one of my best friends is an insane math genius who didn't get rejected anywhere except stanford and is prolly gonna choose oxford this fall

we're hardly jealous of his success, in fact i cursed stanford for a day and a half because they don't know what they missed out on

(yuck stanford)

anyways thats just my two cents - put a little faith in your friends. if you chose them as people who you want to be around and ya'll genuinely care about each other, trust that they won't have pain/jealousy when you succeed

[solar steeple]

momentary jealousy will def exist + it's heightened by parents

it won't matter in the long run but

[visual glen]

Wild ngl

[tropic yew]

momentary jealousy?😭

[tropic yew]

hmmm
i disagree. at least in my case, i didn't feel that for my friend. in fact, i didn't experience it anywhere in my close circle

(those feelings are def there with more casual acquaintances tho. felt it when a classmate got deferred from my ED, and felt others' jealousy when the only person who got UMich in my school was me)

[tropic yew]

the parents part i agree though, parents be so crazy at times it warps people's thinking i've seen it with my own eyes fr💀 😭

[pale rain]

i def think it just depends on the person, most ppl ik would def have momentary jealousy but serious props for you if you don’t with your bff!!

[topaz creek]

my parents got this weird approach to my education, they basically allow me free reign (within a budget) but when it come to apps

they were so dismissive like

"its ok bachruoi JHU is trash anyways" like what if i got rejected then im worse than trash?

ik they dont mean it but like

[tropic yew]

oh no 💀

im worse than trash personified then

[topaz creek]

(i got rejected if you cant tell)

[tropic yew]

ajksdfhlakjsdfhlakjsdfhlaksjdfh don't worry jhu is not trash and neither are you

[topaz creek]

bum school took a full pay kid that "loves asian tea" that couldnt be bothered to show up to school 90% of the time

im still not over it

[solar steeple]

tbh it's the opposite for me like i don't care about casual acceptances because like i don't know them? idk maybe it just depends on the person maybe im just a hater by heart

[solar steeple]

🫂

[tropic yew]

🙄

changed my mind jhu is trash now

[topaz creek]

mtfk mains chemistry but hold a flask like you would hold a fucking water bottle

[tropic yew]

hell nah💀

[solar steeple]

what

[topaz creek]

see pic for reference

[solar steeple]

wtf does that mean

[topaz creek]

its a triangle flask

[solar steeple]

????

[topaz creek]

with a big bottom

and if u hold it like that you have more risk of dropping

[tropic yew]

the classmate holds flasks like water bottles, my dear journalism student friend

[topaz creek]

which complicates things

[tropic yew]

its a scathing insult

[solar steeple]

im so

lost

but ok ig

[tropic yew]

no shit

[solar steeple]

i am currently in my stem era

i have chemistry tomorrow

i can't do stem but that's another issue

[topaz creek]

but its ok cuz he riche beaucoup

😭

[solar steeple]

money will only get him so far

the people who grew up knowing what the lack of money feels like will survive in the world

[tropic yew]

no no see we are insulting mr. asian tea because he grips flasks like babies grab bottles

[tropic yew]

good luck
i have physics

currently dying fr

[solar steeple]

i need a video of both to understand

[solar steeple]

oh you're not cbse?

chem is harder than phy this year ngl

[tropic yew]

hsc (maharashtra state board)

[solar steeple]

ohhh

glgl

[tropic yew]

chem is harder than phy every year everywhere for all time

[solar steeple]

Nah last year i liked chem

But our chem teacher is goated and our phy teacher sucked

They replaced her this year

[tropic yew]

nah jee chem traumatized me to a new level

[topaz creek]

chem is hella fun

im biased

[tropic yew]

but jee math+phy was pretty awesome so yk
you win some

[solar steeple]

fr😭

how'd you do jee

[tropic yew]

i didn't, i just studied for it

it wasn't actually traumatizing

it was a good time

[solar steeple]

ah

[potent peak]

😭

Idk if this is healthy but like

They seem to be unbothered whenever i win anything or do anything

They dont even congratulate me

[solar steeple]

that's uh

sis

sus

[potent peak]

So sometimes i feel a bit weird

Whether they can get jealous or not

[solar steeple]

oh hey i got the voted sticker

[potent peak]

They just like

Never bring up abt it

[solar steeple]

unhealthy

[potent peak]

Now im doubting the quality of my friendships 😢

[solar steeple]

congratulations are a given

[solar steeple]

i mean do you feel happy and safe around them?

[potent peak]

Yes i do

Thats the thing

But just abt things like these they can be so sensitive / insensitive

[solar steeple]

have you tried talking to them about it

[potent peak]

No

I dont have the guts to do that lmao

[solar steeple]

[tropic yew]

.....

Uhm

Bestie

[tropic yew]

Idk honestly if it was some random thing they're sus about it's fine cos we have our own flaws and no friendship is perfect

BUT

If they can't be happy for you when you get successes in your life (not talking about momentary emotional reactions here) if they can't even congratulate you when you get a big achievement that determines the course of your life for the next four years

That's a concern??

This isn't just a small haha they have this quirk type thing

It's a pretty big 'they aren't happy for my success' which isn't a healthy environment for you to feel loved and grow as a person

They should be pushing you up not holding you back yk

But as long as you're aware that that's happening you can make sure not to take their reactions to heart.

If they don't love to see you win they aren't real friends

[potent peak]

Legit i’ve always thought of it as a quirk

[solar steeple]

oh my friends don't care about the biggest things in my life omg how quirky!!

sorry😭 but it's genuinely something to address, your wins deserve to be celebrated

[valid compass]

yeah ik but they do they talk about private equity investment while evaluating deals on the show

essentially equity distribution, valuation and all

yup

that's true fs

gets u the money though

i mean it depends right

[valid compass]

i have no clue about the pay tbh but i can agree on the prestige part for bbs

[rugged loom]

any yale interview in india?

[potent peak]

yes someone answered

scroll up

[valid compass]

many

[plucky lake]

My interviewer said they reach out to people until up to 4 days before the report deadline even if they were assigned before Feb 14

Imho don't sweat it that much

It's based on availability too

[valid compass]

is it though?

[plucky lake]

Too*

[valid compass]

did u get harvard too btw

[plucky lake]

I mean I'm pretty sure Yale only gives Indian interviewers to Indians

[plucky lake]

Nope. Yale, Princeton, and Rice

[potent peak]

😓

[valid compass]

nah i mean the availability thing is kinda debatable for yale

[plucky lake]

So if Indians aren't available they won't give you an American even if some American's are free

[potent peak]

did u find anyone w harvard interview in india?

[valid compass]

oh btw my dad has this extreme blood pressure spike since yesterday

[plucky lake]

Ig I did

Not on discord tho

[potent peak]

how many ppl

[plucky lake]

2?

[valid compass]

like uncontrollable

[potent peak]

last year my country got 2 interviewed for RD

[valid compass]

damn rd or rea?

[potent peak]

no one got in

[valid compass]

woah

[potent peak]

tell him to get some medication

it's not good to maintain high blood pressure all the time

[valid compass]

yeah he went to the doctor

he also has a toothache so

[plucky lake]

What I mean is:

Yale thinks you are a potential Bulldog and needs more info about you. But there is also someone else from India who is also competitive in whose case extra information will be more useful than in your case. And there's only 1 interviewer available. In that case, they won't give it to you

[potent peak]

damn my dad also has toothache and high blood pressure

[valid compass]

ikr it's like 160/110 when it should be 120/80

[plucky lake]

1 RD and 1 REA deferred

[potent peak]

[potent peak]

[valid compass]

Snake oil is a term used to describe deceptive marketing, health care fraud, or a scam. Similarly, snake oil salesman is a common label used to describe someone who sells, promotes, or is a general proponent of some valueless or fraudulent cure, remedy, or solution.

[potent peak]

yeah prolly

my mom prefer harvard over princeton

[solar steeple]

It's baffling to me that countries have more than one timezone
