Yale University (2023-2024)

[ebon seal]

Doing it so late is such a risk ngl

[sonic zinc]

@ebon seal are you gonna do Air Force jag?

[ebon seal]

Not sure, depends on my final results

I'm about 16-0 rn tho so

For college

[sonic zinc]

In terms of acceptances? Damn

Cracked

[ebon seal]

Nah rotc worked wonders

[unborn fractal]

He's this year's Grant

[ebon seal]

Lmaooo nah hes the goat

Wherever I settle between I'll go tour the schools and meet w the ROTC unit and then make my choice

[unborn fractal]

Wait where r u in rn

[ebon seal]

Idc which type of service I do as long as I can do service at all

[ebon seal]

Wdym

[fleet pond]

@ebon seal so this aint correct?

[unborn fractal]

where have u gotten in

[unborn fractal]

respect

[ebon seal]

This is old, this year there's only 3 boards thats prior

[fleet pond]

where'd you find that out

[ebon seal]

Bc applications are submitted ON The 31st

[sonic zinc]

You gonna make em type 16 schools

[ebon seal]

My dad was a JAG and KNOWS ppl who r on the baord

And also service forums

[fleet pond]

what's a JAG

[ebon seal]

https://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php

Judge Advocate General

[grand grotto]

Attorney MOS something

[sonic zinc]

Military attorney essentially

[fleet pond]

oh so you're hella military connected then

[sonic zinc]

Provides legal advice to commanders and handles legal work

[grand grotto]

Well, you could do SMP so that works

[sonic zinc]

@ebon seal the former might drive me to navy given the pacific shift in focus of the us

[grand grotto]

like work in the military while being in the ROTC

[ebon seal]

Not reall, just my dad

But also nepotism doesn't mean anything for ROTC/military

[fleet pond]

ah

[ebon seal]

They're stricter on you when evaluating you

[fleet pond]

NROTC scholarships must have been really comp then

i don't see a hole in my application

[ebon seal]

Tbh my athletic scores, were like really good tho

Eh, you gotta have unique ecs

Traditional leadership isn't cutting it anymore

[grand grotto]

4 years of JROTC 🤡

[ebon seal]

Lmaooo

I didn't do JROTC

[grand grotto]

What? Dang

[fleet pond]

wdym by traditional leadership

[grand grotto]

It was fun though

[ebon seal]

Like being president and leader in clubs

I dont think it does anything

But it's still impressive fs fs

[fleet pond]

my ECs aren't necessarily unique but im pretty damn good at them with a couple national awards

[teal tusk]

i'm a veteran of the shibuya incident - i think that counts

[grand grotto]

I get to go to fort irvine for one-two weeks

[ebon seal]

Hm, I don't know

[fleet pond]

good enough to be recruited at schools for athletics

[ebon seal]

Tbh you were an "MIT recruit" and still didn't get in

So Idk

[fleet pond]

oh no i wasn't recruited up there

[ebon seal]

U said athlete + nrotc interview..

[fleet pond]

it was too far away from me

[teal tusk]

mit recruit barely means anything for admissions

[ebon seal]

That's my point llao

[grand grotto]

Wait so what MIT recruit means lol

[ebon seal]

.

[fleet pond]

means you were actually recruited

[grand grotto]

for a sport?

[fleet pond]

yes

[teal tusk]

its a slight advantage if it comes down to the wire at best

[ebon seal]

If you get recruited to MIT its a slight push but they'll only recruit you if they know you can get in through the regular admissions process @ MIT

[teal tusk]

yep

[grand grotto]

Ohhh ok got it

[fleet pond]

the coach wanted me but seeing as neither of us have the budget to see each other on a regular basis (2,700 miles apart) it didn't work out

unfortunate

[grand grotto]

Dang MIT is really that anti-legacy stuff

[unborn fractal]

what sport again

[fleet pond]

soccer

[unborn fractal]

ahhh

i have a friend playing next year at pricneton

[fleet pond]

he only comes down to the west coast for caltech's camp

everything else is on the east coast which is tough for me to go out to

[ebon seal]

Penn (rotc likely), Duke (rotc likely), Princeton (rea), University of Michigan (EA), University of South Carolina, VA Tech, Umass Amherst, UCLA, UC Berkeley (EA), Harvard (likely), UNC (EA), Michigan State (EA), Bama, Vandy (rotc likely), COFC, UVA (EA)

And then I got some waitlists but 0 rejections rn

[ebon seal]

Damn sick

U gonna do club or walk on?

[fleet pond]

depends which schools

[unborn fractal]

Nice man

[teal tusk]

i didnt know colleges send out likelies for rotc

[fleet pond]

d3 and weaker d1 going for the walk on

[ebon seal]

The rotc unit will

[fleet pond]

schools like penn? yeah no im not making that team

[ebon seal]

Bc you can transfer the scholarship

[teal tusk]

interesting

[ebon seal]

Like you let the school know if u got the scholarship

On ur app

And you can transfer it

So say I got the ROTC scholarship awarded to CMU

(I didnt but say I did)

And I got waitlisted there (Which I did)

Then I could transfer it to a school I actually got accepted to

Or even if yo uget the scholarship to a school and still get in

You can still transfer it

[fleet pond]

huh interesting

[ebon seal]

Surprised you dont know this

It's pretty common knowledge if you really did apply for the scholrship

So I got AROTC to Princeton, NROTC to Yale, and AFROTC to Harvard/MIT

Mit's unit didn't fight for me tho, got waitlisted which sucks

[fleet pond]

i know all of it but transferring it from a school you got accepted to

[ebon seal]

Thats all I said?

[unborn fractal]

Oh and you want to do NROTC?

[fleet pond]

bud idk why you're being rude

[ebon seal]

Sorry not tryna

[ebon seal]

Not sure, I'm good to do all of them I just applied to allt he scholarships

Bc Idc which route I take

I only got NROTC to Yale tho which is a good option

So if I get into Yale I'll do NROTC there

Or try to transfer my AFROTC scholarship there

Because their army rotc is hosted at a different school, university of new haven

Which isn't worth my time. I'm not trying to be a commuter

My grades will slip.

[fleet pond]

same with harvard right

the unit's actually at MIT

[grand grotto]

Oh bruh, that sucks

[teal tusk]

yale grade inflation tho 🤩

[ebon seal]

Yup but its way closer

Than UNH

[grand grotto]

I hate being a commuter omg, the trauma of wasted time is hitting me

[ebon seal]

Lmao half the reason I like it

[ebon seal]

The PMS at Mit really liked me

He went to H admissions to get me in

[worthy bolt]

😭 damn

[ebon seal]

if u applied there, maybe the same happened for you

[worthy bolt]

honestly getting recruited is tough in its own respect so idm athletes

[ebon seal]

Lol just saying. I

I'm a 3 sport athlete and no way I'm good enough to play at MIT

[worthy bolt]

well mit is d3

[ebon seal]

Yeah but mit athletes are really good

It's like tufts

[teal tusk]

talking abt mit - just realized i forgot to go to my local admitted students event 💀

line integrals test >> 🤪

[fleet pond]

that did not happen to me...they told me to talk to the coach though to increase my admissions chances

[ebon seal]

F them tho they rejected my ass

[fleet pond]

and referred me to a student who was NROTC + soccer team

[grand grotto]

you had 16 - 0 though??

[ebon seal]

The PMS at mit was pretty honest, he told me that he would do what he could

[ebon seal]

Yup

[ebon seal]

0 rejections

Oh

well yeah tufts

[grand grotto]

Tuft rejection?

[ebon seal]

But I dont count them

It isn't real lmao

Imma ignore it

[grand grotto]

💀

[teal tusk]

yield protection card

[ebon seal]

Their rejection was too nice tho

"One schools lsos is anothers gain"

Like stfu

I was gonna say no but why r u saying no type shit

[ebon seal]

No shot

[teal tusk]

doesn't tufts yield protect

[ebon seal]

But he was pretty honest and told me that my chances at getting in are low bc my stem background isnt good enough

[ebon seal]

No they don't

Theyre like 7 percent dawg

[grand grotto]

Dude I haven't got to any colleges yet, sooo Im hoping to make some clutch this thursday

[ebon seal]

0? No safeties?

[grand grotto]

I had safety dw

but in terms of higher tier univ

[teal tusk]

people literally call yield protection "tufts syndrome"

[ebon seal]

The thing is, rotc kids at MIT are another level of cracked. Bc rotc is overall super stem concentrated

[ebon seal]

Lmao I've never heard that

[teal tusk]

idk i just searched it up

tufts is like infamous for doing that

[ebon seal]

Ay congrats on MIT

That's sick

[teal tusk]

thx thx

[ebon seal]

They don't yield they're really comp

[teal tusk]

idk colleges will never be open abt yielding in the end of the day

so it's not smth that can be confirmed

[ebon seal]

Yeah ofc not

[grand grotto]

They had their NDA signed on

so they cant whistle that out

[ebon seal]

Ngl I thought I was cooked for Bama

They deferred me lmao

Got me scared

[fleet pond]

maybe that was an issue too i applied t2 major

not t1

i probably wasn't a more qualified candidate than all the other t2 folks

or t1 folks they wanted more

[violet bridge]

💀💀💀

lmao i have delulu hopes but i’m probably aware that my odds are so low

hey if it’s from a yale AO i’ll take it

[prime solar]

real me too

i’m trying a bit to accept where it’s likely i’ll end up

[hexed folio]

twinsies

[violet bridge]

it’s okay (i nearly imagined an entire princeton acceptance daydream sequence and had to remind myself that it almost definitely is not happening)

[kindred topaz]

literally in october once i had a dream that i got into stanford and rejected from upenn 💀 idek how

[prime solar]

NOOOO

viola we’re gonna get the chai next month i’m manifesting

[violet bridge]

i told my family that if i get into princeton i’d pierce my ears (i’m terrified of getting piercings)

[hexed folio]

I told my family if I get into Yale AND Stanford I'm gonna shave my head

[prime solar]

i’ll probably get a tattoo

[hexed folio]

I am a filthy dirty liar

[cerulean hinge]

why

[hexed folio]

with a weirdly shaped head

[violet bridge]

because it won’t happen and if the impossible happens it’s about time i took a step outside my comfort zone as well

[cerulean hinge]

okayy 🔥

[violet bridge]

though honestly it won’t do much because i probably won’t wear earrings anyways 💀

the alternative was that i’d learn to wear contact lenses if i got in which would actually be useful

[cerulean hinge]

earrings can be fun

but depends on if ur into fashion i think

[violet bridge]

fair point, i don’t really care that much about jewellery and stuff

[cerulean hinge]

fair

[noble steppe]

yale needs to call in a targeted airstrike on Jaedon LeDee

[kindred topaz]

my mom said if i get into harv she'll let me dye my hair

ive always wanted to dye my hair but she didnt let me 😭 😭

[violet bridge]

what color

[kindred topaz]

prob just some shade of brown

[grand grotto]

I told my family that if I got in to yale, I will major in english (my family has now plans to disown me)

[kindred topaz]

i also will be allowed to have my ears pierced finally !!

[unborn fractal]

english -> law goes crazy

[unborn fractal]

WOOO

[kindred topaz]

LOL

[grand grotto]

Typical asian stem aaaah

[kindred topaz]

no fr ik a lot of linguistics majors that went on to go to law school

[kindred topaz]

my mom jokes about how our family doesnt have a doctor

[rugged chasm]

pre-law

[unborn fractal]

our fam also does not have a doctor

[kindred topaz]

💪 💪

[rugged chasm]

wow my moms side is all medical

[unborn fractal]

we will NOT be becoming doctors

[kindred topaz]

i just suck at science in general

[kindred topaz]

we're gonna become rich in other ways rahhh

[unborn fractal]

i'm going to see you at some hedge fund in 15 years fr

[kindred topaz]

LMAO PLSS

remember that billionaire discussion in the gc th eother day

[unborn fractal]

YES

LMFAO

[kindred topaz]

"whoever is a billionaire is hosting"

[unborn fractal]

[violet bridge]

[kindred topaz]

AW LUCKYY

[light dust]

I'm gonna be opening my decision in Japan 😳 (visiting family)

[kindred topaz]

woahh have fun in japan 🤩

we have similar usernames lOL

[ebon seal]

I’m only type 1 for AFROTC and t3 everywhere else so probably not

Just finished the Yale interview!

[fleet pond]

yeah you're probably just more cracked 😂

[ebon seal]

lol I did a language for AFROTC

Bc I didn’t want a type 7

[fleet pond]

makes sense

you would actually be cool majoring in that language?

[ebon seal]

Nah I’m not gonna do AFROTC for that reason

[fleet pond]

oh

[ebon seal]

If i get into Yale I’ll do econ on tier 3 NROTC

If not I’m 99% sure I’ll do AROTC at Princeton

[fleet pond]

oh econ was tier 3?

i thought it was tier 2

[ebon seal]

I don’t think so

[fleet pond]

unless it varies between different armed forces

i applied econ for navy coulda sworn it was t2

[ebon seal]

Idk

[open perch]

What 💀

[ebon seal]

Yeah

[open perch]

So close to due date

[ebon seal]

Yeah it’s a second interview

[open perch]

Arent they supposed to have things wrapped up alr? No?

[ebon seal]

I guess not but they were also offering me an interview tomorrow so I think tmrws the last day

[open perch]

What 😭

[open perch]

How is it different from the first

[ebon seal]

It’s ANOTHER one

[fluid ember]

so??

how did it go?

[open perch]

Wdym

[open perch]

They ask you things more in depth or

[proper helm]

how does that work

[ebon seal]

Really good he said he’s gonna advocate for me to admissions later today and call and let me know how it went at like 12 pm

[open perch]

Honestly i dont see the point of a second interview if they dont ask anythingn specific

[ebon seal]

This one was more personal the first one was very strict and for@all

formal

[open perch]

Woah

Good for u then

[fluid ember]

awesome. good to hear!!

[ebon seal]

I had one like last week and the guy texted me saying the admissions office needed more info on me and asked to meet today or tmrw

[ebon seal]

Thanks! I’ll lyk what he says

[proper helm]

gotcha

[open perch]

🤨

Interesting

Very close to d-day

[proper helm]

well I think this is a good sign, one of my friends also received a second interview + had received a call from yale to their school requesting more info

[fluid ember]

please do!

[proper helm]

so if they are doing this it's definitely for people they are on the fence about

I wish you best of luck & I hope Yale goes well on the 28th!!

[open perch]

Hopefully u get off the fence

[ebon seal]

Do u go there?

[open perch]

👍

[fluid ember]

i'm still a senior! no commitments yet.

[ebon seal]

Yeah, they said that the last chance to do a second inreecuew is tmrw so I’m assuming they’re wrapping up on a wednesday lol

[open perch]

I wonder if they procrastinate too lmao

[ebon seal]

Lol idk i’m pretty sure they’re close to being done

But I basically find out if I got in today

So let’s see

[proper helm]

excellent

[open perch]

Best of luck!

[ebon seal]

Yeah an unofficial decision

[open perch]

Ah right

How do u get the trophy next to ur name bertha

Ah

[proper helm]

ahh I see

[ebon seal]

Yeah definitely. I know I wouldn’t be a competitive applicant without these scholarships in hand.

Or AS competitive

[unborn fractal]

Humble and hard-working. You keep garnering respect

[ebon seal]

Ik some regular applicants who got first and second interviews a little later. However, I want to add that I had this second interview in replacement of a typical alumni interview. My first interview with Yale was to win a SCHOLARSHIP, and this second one was a personal/additional interview for more information about me! They offered to have me do it with the UNIT TODAY or ALUMNI TOMORROW

[ebon seal]

Thank you man. I just know this is all in gods plan and a reward for my dedication and hard work

I try to keep my head down and focus on the main prize

[fleet pond]

respect 🫡

[ebon seal]

Thanks

[ebon seal]

THE PMS IS CALLING ME TWO HOURS ESRLY AHH

[rugged chasm]

https://tenor.com/view/mika-noah-raj-yay-cheer-gif-14011166887357678073

[grand grotto]

A reason why a2c members are going crazy over interviews lmao

[open perch]

bcs we need confirmation, validation and allat shit

[violet bridge]

YOOOOO 🔥🔥🔥

[ebon seal]

I'm literally over the fucking moon.

[zealous jolt]

thats so hype congratulations

[ebon seal]

Thank you man

I cannot believe this

[ebon seal]

Lol what

[rugged chasm]

basically we thought if no yale interview its yaleover

and since u got one and esp last min

it kinda surprised us

[ebon seal]

I already had one

This was my 2nd

[ebon seal]

Yeah they're finishing interviews tomorrow and sent out their last requests already though

[dim hemlock]

chat it's still yaleover

[rugged chasm]

oh thats insnae

uusally 2nd means they r on the fence

[ebon seal]

Yup

[rugged chasm]

of admitting u

[vale locust]

bro really is built diff

[rugged chasm]

fr

[ebon seal]

The PMS said that they forward the names of scholarship winners to yale to the admissions office

and if the AOs want you they'll ask for another interview

[ebon seal]

All in gods plan.

[grand grotto]

Interviews are the way to carry through your application 💀

[ebon seal]

Yeah I think interviews are bare minimum

[rugged chasm]

yeah interview confirms ur still in the running

[ebon seal]

But I'm by no means an application expert

I think if you don't get an interview ur cooked ngl

To Yale at leats

[rugged chasm]

yeah

[open perch]

ur still in the running

[rugged chasm]

ppl who have an interview got a 15-20% ar

[ebon seal]

Yeah probably

[open perch]

to be america's next top model

[grand grotto]

And also, Hi Connor

[ebon seal]

Hi

[prime solar]

i’m cooked

[fading narwhal]

oh...

[grand grotto]

C'mon look at the brighter side people. 80% are still getting rejected 😆

[rugged chasm]

According to official alumni data backed by @worthy bolt

[ebon seal]

Wild wild wild

[native crystal]

is it a bad sign if i don't get asked for tax returns translated to English?

[teal tusk]

i think you had to translate them

[steep scaffold]

😨 like overall? idrk how many applicants yale interviews anyway

[teal tusk]

and then upload them through the idoc

or wtvr

[open perch]

9000

[topaz creek]

wallahi im finised

[steep scaffold]

damn this is giving me too much hope

[native crystal]

if they didn't ask me for this, is it a sign i was rejected

[topaz creek]

its yalover

[open perch]

u have to stop doing this to urself bRo

[teal tusk]

did you apply for financial aid through the css profile?

[open perch]

go hibernate for 3 days

[native crystal]

yes

[teal tusk]

idk

probably not

bcs they asked for mine from the get go. So there is no way they reviewed my application beforehand

[native crystal]

oh can i see what it said

to see if i got it

cuz i don't remember getting anything but maybe i missed it

[teal tusk]

i didnt get an email

[native crystal]

oh then how did you know?

[teal tusk]

Basically after i filled out the details on the css profile

I was asked to upload documents through the idoc

wait

I was sent this after I filled out my css profile

[rugged chasm]

ye 9k get interviewed, 1.5-2k get in?

[open perch]

but do we know if the 1.5 - 2k get in all get interviews or no

[unborn fractal]

U SWEEPED

[kindred topaz]

I feel like there are def ppl that get in without interviews

[worthy bolt]

I agree

[gusty kernel]

<0.5% acceptance rate for no interview

[steep scaffold]

😨

[kindred topaz]

wait really

danggg

[open perch]

how many colleges did u apply to

[dim hemlock]

so you're saying there's a chance

[open perch]

a nonzero chance? ofc

lmao

[kindred topaz]

24 😭

[gusty kernel]

It’s not great but don’t lose hope yet 🫠

[open perch]

omg that's a lot

and you're doing good so far?

[topaz creek]

< 0.5% so practically 0

i round dat down

[grand grotto]

Uhh further than that, the whole yale a2c will be going crazy over interviews

[kindred topaz]

so far yeah

[open perch]

good for u

[kindred topaz]

we'll see what happens this week !!!!

[gusty kernel]

It has already been for the last 2 months 💀

[open perch]

what are u expecting for

[grand grotto]

True true, yet we're still continuing this habit ☠️

[kindred topaz]

mainly waiting for harv and yale

but it's also fine if i dont get in

[open perch]

what's your top

pick

[kindred topaz]

harv/pton/yale

[open perch]

would u harv > yale

or yale > harv

or what

or pton > yale

[kindred topaz]

i'd choose harv over yale but idk if i'd choose it over pton

[grand grotto]

Harvard seems stressful though

Yale > Harvard

[open perch]

so pton top pick?

[kindred topaz]

pton's grade deflation lowkey scares me

[kindred topaz]

pton and harv are like

[open perch]

same

[kindred topaz]

my absolute top choices

but pton did give me alot of aid

so idk

[open perch]

harv def has less deflation

[open perch]

how much? are they generous?

if you're okay saying it

[kindred topaz]

[edited] LOL

[open perch]

wtf

like 100% covered

[kindred topaz]

yeah 😅

[open perch]

or like

90%

[kindred topaz]

their aid is really generous

100%

[open perch]

dang

what's their limit for free ride?

[kindred topaz]

100k and under is free everything

150k and under is free tuition

they have the most generous finaid policy compared to literally every other schools

[open perch]

100k and under huh

[unique plank]

love that 😍😍😍

free for me!!

[open perch]

i think my family makes a bit more than that

crimp

[kindred topaz]

then youll prob get almost all of it covered

[open perch]

hopefully

if i get in

lmao

[kindred topaz]

🙏

is pton ur top choice?

[open perch]

top 3

below h and y

lmao

but the rank depends on the aid i get actually

"if" i get in

[kindred topaz]

that's very valid

[open perch]

im hella scared of the pton academics

despite everything looking p solid

[kindred topaz]

HYPe yourself up for thurs 🙌

[open perch]

bcs i dont come from a strong curriculum

like

[native crystal]

atp idc what college i get into

[open perch]

im not sure i remember sophmore / junior year chem

[kindred topaz]

you're prob not th eonly one

[topaz creek]

the rounded 0% acp rate is not doing me any good

[hushed stone]

Sorry what

[kindred topaz]

honestly acceptance rates in general are like

so misleading

i could do a whole rant about that but that's for another time

[topaz creek]

dot dot dot

[open perch]

what rant

[kindred topaz]

rant abt acceptance rates

[topaz creek]

0.5 rounds down to 0 anw

[kindred topaz]

and how misleading they are

[open perch]

i wanna hear

lmao

i need it

[kindred topaz]

the 4% acceptance rates that we see

would only apply if the admissions officers were to randomly choose 4 students out of a sample of 100 applicants

technically speaking, your "chances" of getting into a college can never be calculated bc it's so subjective in the first place

[open perch]

ah

so u mean like

[topaz creek]

yale is the only other need-blind school i apply to besides dart (praying) and im dirt poor and intl so my chances @ other schools are like zero, nada, none, không

[open perch]

u should put background and allat into consideration

like chances of feeder kids and kids from nowhere is different

like that?

[kindred topaz]

if you have a high GPA, if you have notable ECs or awards, if you have excellent LORs, if you have legacy, then your acceptance rate will go up

[kindred topaz]

yes

which is why it's impossible to actually calculate your chances of getting in

[unique plank]

ok bro

[kindred topaz]

and in general, acceptance rate as a measure of acceptance probability is only valid if there are no confounding factors like institutional priorities

💀

[unique plank]

hard pressed it seems

[open perch]

cries in asian btw

[native crystal]

lol

[open perch]

i mean

asian americans exist tho

[topaz creek]

tbf they arent exclusive

[open perch]

and asia is a big ass continent

[unique plank]

[open perch]

thats sarcasm

[topaz creek]

LMAo

[noble steppe]

just be real, you have a skill issue

[open perch]

wdym

[kindred topaz]

tbh idek if i'm allowed to say this in this chat but it's true tha t many asian immigrants place a stronger emphasis on education due to the sacrifices their familes made to immigrate (and the historical context of their home countries if tha tmakes sense)

so in many asian cultures, education is seen as a means of upward mobility and success and as a result parents force their children to excel academically to secure better opportunities

[topaz creek]

asian culture is that education is what allows you to make bank

[vestal island]

longest 3 days of my life

[kindred topaz]

it depends on many other historical factors as well... so many older people are materialists since they grew up trying to put food on the table

[open perch]

and honesly they're not wrong

[autumn kiln]

Hi all

Can we drop this discussion

[kindred topaz]

so they think security and money are the two most important things and the only things that matter

oh sorry

[autumn kiln]

It’s venturing places not allowed in the rules

[open perch]

oh

[kindred topaz]

yeah i prob shouldnt have mentioned it i apologize

[autumn kiln]

All good

[worthy bolt]

Rushed

[bronze steeple]

a2c reddit posts r mad funny ngl

ppl r posting their predictions and saying "oh yeah ill get into dartmouth and cornell"

[steep scaffold]

no but 200-250 words is kinda low

[violet bridge]

shouldve seen me trying to meet 500 words for princeton

[steep scaffold]

omg i think i cooked on that essay fr

[violet bridge]

applied for music, majoring in yapology

[teal tusk]

No bcs i wrote the same essay twice

and realized it 10 minutes before the deadline

I am cooked!

[violet bridge]

it actually cooked aside from the fact that it was not polished writing, but the content itself was solid enough for me to recycle

my yale essay however

[teal tusk]

Then you might be fine

[violet bridge]

ooh can you link it please

[teal tusk]

Mine was bad bad i didn’t even proofread

that bad

[steep scaffold]

yesssir

[violet bridge]

i am in the habit of writing last-minute english essays so hopefully the ability transferred

thank you

[teal tusk]

Me too but still

i just pressed submit

[violet bridge]

lowkey wish i applied to harvard (i would not have been accepted)

[teal tusk]

REAL

[violet bridge]

same i was shaking so hard while typing my card info

[zealous jolt]

chat i didnt get an interview its so over

[violet bridge]

it's crazy thanks to the app process i have memorised my credit card information, maybe the second-most useful thing that came out of it

[teal tusk]

WHEN I HAD TO “SIGN” IT

[teal tusk]

first?

[violet bridge]

true

[zealous jolt]

oh thats crazy what're the numbers?

[violet bridge]

an acceptance

[teal tusk]

I just saved the info or smth

[teal tusk]

Okay makes sense

[violet bridge]

there's at least one each of [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ], not in that order and also maybe there are extraneous numbers in this list

[visual crypt]

BRO BUT WHY NTO FOR PRINCETON

[violet bridge]

i was like "oops i forgot i'll do it next time"... every time

[teal tusk]

MY DAD DID IT FOR ME

[violet bridge]

💀

[kindred topaz]

[teal tusk]

At least i did it!

[violet bridge]

[teal tusk]

[teal tusk]

my order for decisions is upenn then brown and thats it

[teal tusk]

[teal tusk]

ik a few pennkids

Damage control

[teal tusk]

Thats nice

[violet bridge]

i'll open whatever my parents scream out on the phone

[teal tusk]

Flawed logic the point is to have some sort of hope

So you open 2nd to last the best application

[teal tusk]

Really?

[teal tusk]

yes they do lol

[teal tusk]

Idk im greek so

I mean idk how they feel about greeks

[hexed folio]

SORRY 😭

[visual crypt]

[teal tusk]

[hexed folio]

[teal tusk]

to stalk lol

[hexed folio]

im doing environmental policy & PPE at yale if i get in, or computing and linguistics. not too sure yet tbh but i want to be a lawyer in either environmental policy & regulation or ai ethics

[teal tusk]

i'm EPE too

[hexed folio]

YAY

we're so cool

sometimes i get sad like about yale's miniscule acceptance rate and then i realize how lucky i am to even have the opportunity to apply and get into these like t50-t20 colleges

so honestly i'll get over it even if i get rejected!

but it's never yaleover until march 28th at 7:00 PM

[teal tusk]

sorry, whats yaleover

[visual crypt]

ohhh

[hexed folio]

like when someone says "it's over"

[visual crypt]

it's over

but for yale

[hexed folio]

and then they add something in front of it

like "it's stanover" or "it's harvardover"

[visual crypt]

i've seen this thing that's like those who apply to ivies/t20s are just as successful as those who get in to them on average

like they used the applications as an indicator of success

idk just food for thought

[fluid ember]

hahahahah

i'm doing that too

sometiems

[dim hemlock]

[hexed folio]

yuhhhh

[native crystal]

okay perfect, ngl that kinda calms me down cuz not getting any astrology kinda stressed me out a lot

[radiant harbor]

so far i’m choking rn, i’ve gotten 4 rejections in a row and 1 wl 💀💀 but i don’t really care for jhu(negative energy), amherst (app fee waiver), washu, unc, and bu waitlist.

yale/columbia r the only ones that matter tho so far UmD scholars and Morehouse(with merit aid) are my top choices

[dusky tusk]

Im kinda doing ahh in Rd

But we gonna cook this thursday fs 🫡

[radiant harbor]

[hushed stone]

Fr fr

[cosmic geyser]

[cosmic geyser]

[radiant harbor]

[radiant harbor]

missouri is irrelevant anyways

[cosmic geyser]

i did the fly in💀

ik i'm not really a fan of washu's location

[dusky tusk]

Flyin boost mainly applies to ed

[cosmic geyser]

and they don't even have my major

[cosmic geyser]

idc anymore 😭 just hoping emory clutches on wednesday

probably not going if i get into oxford emory

[dusky tusk]

Where will u go

[radiant harbor]

i just applied cause of the chance for ervin scholars and they had good dorms

[cosmic geyser]

right now? i don't know😭

[dusky tusk]

Ok

Whats ur ranking of ur RDs

All of them over gw?

[cosmic geyser]

probably macalester then look into transferring if i dont like it

[dusky tusk]

All RDs over mac?

[cosmic geyser]

top pick is cornell, vanderbilt, barnard, penn, northwestern, nyu and emory ox dead last lmao

i applied to more schools but i literally can't remember

[dusky tusk]

what about regular emory

[cosmic geyser]

probably above barnard

[dusky tusk]

Oh that high

Wow

Did u join any waitlists

[hushed stone]

[hushed stone]

why did you even apply then t-t

[cosmic geyser]

wellesley might join washu's idk
