[white dagger]

[rugged chasm]

Stanford

[fluid ember]

oh no!

you're doubting yale?!

[white dagger]

stanford is pretty awesome for cs so idkkk

i see you've decided on harvard

that's great

congrats again!

[white dagger]

yale wins in everything else for me tho

minus weather

[visual crypt]

like?

[white dagger]

student body/campus/residential colleges/ social life / food / focus on undergrad/ small class size

[delicate jolt]

Yeah I went to both

[worthy bolt]

idt u can fully judge these factors for Stanford until you go to admit days

[solar steeple]

are you committed

[worthy bolt]

not technically!

[limber magnet]

stanford

i chose stanford cs over yale

i went to bdd and it was ok not rlly my vibe tho

[visual crypt]

eh u can lowk argue the same for stanford

go to the admitted student days and decide

did u like bdd?

[remote vortex]

Stanford>Yale for CS any day

Silicon Valley, cs strength, etc etc

Unless you really don’t like Stanford for some reason

[solar steeple]

where are you leaning

[whole pine]

welp this is great to hear!!! 😭

[visual crypt]

i sent yale a financial appeal and now they only want me to pay 1k/yr 😭😭 they want me SO BAD

[remote vortex]

How much is Harvard

[whole pine]

shit yale let me in off wl ill even pay 70 a year ill take out loans 🥺

[visual crypt]

5k/yr but i appealed

[visual crypt]

u dont wanna do this😭 dont go in debt for a college

[whole pine]

yea yea ik 😭

[remote vortex]

yea i would still go harvard especially if u vibe with it more

[visual crypt]

u right

[muted seal]

has anyone heard abt any wl movement

[alpine raft]

wondering the same thing lol

[open perch]

i like to move it move it

[limber magnet]

i turned down the offer yesterday so hopefully someone gets off 🙏

last year they overenrolled tho

so im a little bit unsure abt waitlist movement

[whole pine]

bless you 🙏

[muted seal]

haven’t heard a single person get off yet i’m wondering if they’ll just take no one 😭

[hushed stone]

i think historically they usually start taking ppl off mid may tho

so its kinda too early rn

[remote vortex]

yea most of the movement is probably yet to happen

[whole pine]

Pls let me in yale

[hollow agate]

Whered rhe harvard thread go😰😰😰

[solar steeple]

#1135695226774769724 ?

[noble pasture]

[whole pine]

[hushed stone]

I got off the waitlist through phone call. Getting my official letter tomorrow? Unless this is a horrible prank (it might be)

[raw ravine]

[visual crypt]

[hushed stone]

Uhhh neurosci and art

I think

I might change it 💀

[hushed stone]

Would you even go to any of them?

[visual crypt]

nah tbh

i declined washu wl

[hushed stone]

You’re so Harvard coded

Yeah makes sense

[visual crypt]

lmaooo

i thought i was so yale but

visitas <3

[visual crypt]

tbh i dont have advice 😭

GOOD LUCK W UR CHOICE

dont forget abt the $$

[hushed stone]

Idk im just thinking if I’m prelaw Yale prob has better advising?

Idk kinda still processing wtf happened today lol

[visual crypt]

yea yale pre law is cracked asf

[visual crypt]

u deserve it fr

how long do u have to decide

[hushed stone]

Until May 20

does anybody know if there's a yale 2028 discord server?

[worthy bolt]

you’ll get a link via ur portal

[hushed stone]

ok ok. tomorrow me problems then

ty!

[worthy bolt]

np! congrats 🎉

[remote vortex]

yoo congratss

[remote vortex]

damn thats not much time

r u visiting Yale before then?

[hushed stone]

i visited before so prob not

weirdly all i remember from the tour is grade inflation and the reason why the yale windows look weird though

not exactly the most pertinent or useful info when it comes to deciding 💀

[remote vortex]

yea its a tough decision but good luck

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/gh42vc/duke_vs_yale/

someone was in the same position

just read those comments prolly help a little

[hushed stone]

ty!

i might also make a #954425230896545792 post tomorrow after i get my letter

[fluid ember]

omg

idk you or anything abt your priorities

but

i love yale so much actually

like yes it’s yale

but the food, the res colleges, gorgeous campus, new england

[hushed stone]

honestly strongly leaning yale rn (not sure if its because shock lmao) but also because i wanna be prelaw and like, yale. law. yeah.

[remote vortex]

yea Law yale is insane

[hushed stone]

i think the main reason im hesitating is i know duke so well now it feels kinda scary to have to do that all over again. like find community again and stuff this late

not good reasons to turn down yale

but like

yeah

[remote vortex]

i dont think its that much of a reason cuz it hasnt even started yet and u have plenty of time to find people

[hushed stone]

also my undergrad is a stem major and yale stem is not all that great compared to duke

but art (my other intended major) is better at yale than at duke

[remote vortex]

neurosceince right

[hushed stone]

yup

[remote vortex]

yea idk its a lot to consider

[hushed stone]

also also though i think i'm being swayed yale because prestige ngl

yeah idk i need to make a list

[remote vortex]

i mean in terms of law school admissions i dont think itll be that much of a diff but u should prolly ask someone who is in law school or pre law

to get a better idea

Yale Pre Law is unmatched tho

do u get an advantage when applying ot law school

[worthy bolt]

I will say that I think going to diff schools for ur undergrad and law school might be best

Like u get exposed to different alumni networks, school cultures, etc

[worthy bolt]

But if this is ur main reason, I would go w ur heart and choose Yale

Like cow already said, it’s def not too late at all to rediscover that

[hushed stone]

yeah i prob wont go to yale law honestly? i think i'd prefer to do law on the west coast (if i can) mostly yale pre-law advising is attracting me

[worthy bolt]

Ooh icic! Yes fs, i think that’s smart

Honestly what I’m hoping to do as well lol

[hushed stone]

omg what if we end up at the same law school. that would be so silly

[worthy bolt]

If we do stanford/berkeley we can be school rivals for 7 years 😨

[hushed stone]

oh. uh. let's not do that

ok made the little post thingy

i have no patience

[whole pine]

😭 This must be an amazing feeling. Hoping I am also one of them too 🙏 😭

congrats

[hushed stone]

Honestly I didn’t feel anything but like, adrenaline 😭 I was in sm shock I didn’t really process it. I hope you get off too!!!

[wary star]

what's your vibe?

also how do you feel about snow

[wary star]

which stem

some yale stem is good

ok well all of it is baseline "good" but i'd guess that duke cs outperforms our cs

[hushed stone]

Life sciences (neuroscience? Might change into bio or biochemistry)

[hushed stone]

Unsure. Never really experienced it outside of skiing. I don’t think I’d hate it?

[wary star]

ok me in thread now

[hushed stone]

Friendly. Collaborative. Not very cut throat. Also I don’t really like heavy sports culture/greek life?

[wary star]

if you don't like greek life then idk about duke

i've never been to duke (i've only ever passed through north carolina) but from what I hear it is much heavier on greek life than yale

[wary star]

it's one of those things you'll probably grow to like

[hushed stone]

Greek life is dead because they got kicked off campus 💀

Sports is definitely big though

And confuses me honestly

[solar steeple]

mfw my dream law school is (was?) stanford💀

[solar steeple]

CONGRATSSSSS

[hushed stone]

Thank you!!!!

[visual crypt]

i think they deleted it 😭

also do u like duke or yale more just speaking off vibes

[limber magnet]

omg congrats

[hushed stone]

I haven’t really been to Yale? Ok like I visited but I feel like that’s different than like, talking to prefrosh and stuff

With my limited info idt I’ll be unhappy at either? Idk I’m so biased towards Duke tho ‘cause I’ve already made friends there 😭

[urban kettle]

you'll make friends at any college idt its a big deal plus friends will change

[hushed stone]

finally got my official letter! i keep opening and closing it because i can't believe its real

[wraith field]

did u get off the waitlist aster?

[open perch]

Crazy

[open perch]

Congrats

[hushed stone]

Yeah 😭

[hushed stone]

Ty!

[wraith field]

congrats!!

may i ask if u wrote a loci?

[hushed stone]

i did!

[wraith field]

thank you it must’ve been a great one

[hushed stone]

i mean apparently 😭 i almost didn't write it because i procrastinated so hard

[wraith field]

😭i’m glad u got it in

when did u finish

sorry if i’m asking a lot i’m also on the waitlist but i’m probably ngmi

[versed comet]

no, I’m in it rn

[limber magnet]

fs also everyone at bulldog days were pretty chill, ull definitely find ur ppl at yale

so dw too much about the friend aspect

[visual crypt]

oops maybe i left

[limber magnet]

yea its still there

[visual crypt]

oops mb

[limber magnet]

although maybe i got kicked cuz i can't find it either

LOL

[visual crypt]

LMAOOO

MAYBE WE GOT KICKED

[limber magnet]

bye wait i dont have it

did we rlly get kicked

[visual crypt]

see what im saying

i heard they had a new server app coming out

[limber magnet]

help 💀 .

[visual crypt]

like mod apps n shi

[limber magnet]

i didnt know they'd kick us

[visual crypt]

so maybe they kicked out anyone who didnt commit

[limber magnet]

how do they know we didnt commit

[visual crypt]

tbh i think i got kicked i dont remember leaving

[visual crypt]

they're feds

[limber magnet]

brh lmaoo

[visual crypt]

i told princeton discord server im not committing and they didnt kick me out

[limber magnet]

is there an official harvard server

[visual crypt]

🤫

[visual crypt]

ye

[limber magnet]

ic

how is it

[limber magnet]

lmao

[visual crypt]

oops cant send

[visual crypt]

its eh

[limber magnet]

yeah idk

[visual crypt]

oh theres a harvard 28 but nobody talks

[limber magnet]

all the discord servers are like

whatever

[visual crypt]

theres a harvard community and only current students talk mostly

but they answer our questions

and i have a lot of questions

so i like them

most '27 keeps the harvard community hub active lmaooo

[limber magnet]

oh ok lmao

[visual crypt]

how's stanford's?

bro its crazy how many connections i've made in a2c

i have friends at all HYPSM

yall so cracked wtff

[hushed stone]

its ok! 100% get the anxiety (was literally you two days ago lol). april 17? actually not as late as i thought it was

and ik one person got off without a loci

[visual crypt]

tbh in terms of yale v duke go where the vibes are best

everything else is imho comparable and pretty much similar

you'll make the right choice for u regardless

and congrats again GOAT

[hushed stone]

idk the yale vibes 😭

maybe i'll just wait until i get verified for the server

and then i'll get a better idea of vibes

[supple vapor]

idk if u can judge by the server, but i went to bulldog days and the community is incredible

community wise it topped all the other admit events for me

[visual crypt]

i went to yale and hated it

so it's all relative 😭

keep that in mind

but ngl yale does have good vibes

maybe just not my vibes..

wish u went to bdd tho

@hushed stone im bias but... (go duke 🤫)

the vibes there are so immaculate

[hushed stone]

i wish i did too t-t

[visual crypt]

keep in mind im bias but

vibes at yale are off 🤫

oh also follow the money too tho

if yale gives u more than duke take that

[hushed stone]

im not getting any money from either

[visual crypt]

ouch

[hushed stone]

😍

[wraith field]

aw i appreciate it

thank you :]

april 17 seems like a decent time

[hushed stone]

Np!

[noble steppe]

fwiw yale -> other law schools is kinda crazy too

[noble steppe]

fwiw i did not stay friends with most of the people i befriended on groupme etc

turns out they were all cringe irl

apparently people who spend their day on discord are annoying (except me ofc)

[noble steppe]

i said most haha

some of them were cool

some of them i just lost touch with as we found our own friend groups but i genuinely am still quite close to a couple

i was heavily involved in two sorta groups, one of which was quite cringe irl but seems to have stayed together bar me and a couple others

other group ive stayed mostly good friends with, but that was a lot smaller
