When do they look at 12th
sem 1
quarter 1 if available
whatevers on your transcript
they recalculate ur gpa
i cant find any sources on that tho
if its a B in ur schol. it can be ;-; unfortunately. UNLESS your transciprt also shows percentages
Here is my GPA situation (i won’t count freshman year): Sophomore: 2 B+'s Junior: 4.0 Senior: 4.0 I’m really bummed out because Stanford will count my 2 B+'s as 2 B’s, which hurts me a lot. I was wondering how much this would impact my chances if I have outstanding ECs and decent standardized test scores, and good essays too. Also, for Stanf...
admission officers have said it too
the one i talked to didnt mention anything about it
because they didn't feel the need to .-.
thats why im not sure
think baout it: why get rid of this "recalcaulte gpa" system.
if u try to compare gpas from different schools, it just doesn't wrok
why have a "recalculate gpa" system when you look at someones application in context
so my recalculated would be a 3.82
it doesnt work regardless
every school has grade inflation/deflation
they dont "compare" applications
thats true but thats like too in detail for admissons.
thats the one thing i remember them explicitly saying
not like the admission officers can walk into ur school and take classes to see if there is inflation
also ur still comparing withint the setting of your own school
another way they use reclaculate gpa is to dsmiss classes like freshman seminar
or student assistant
from ur gpa
if ur schools have stuff lke that
ya i heard that
not the recalculate gpa flat part tho
it doesnt work when looking in context of the school profile
oh that. okay so we agree they recaulcate gpa
yeah they do
gib me a second to double check a source
I’m almost certain they do
but whats the point
if you're looking at a school that has interquartile ranges of gpa that use the A+/B+ system
you'd need to take into account A+ B+ to see where a student stands in terms of their school
Let me find a source
yes plz do
im not doubting you
because ive heard that too
But i think they also recalculate gpa where an A+ is an A
im not sure if its a widespread myth cuz a lot of things tend to be lol
like the multiple people applying to one school from ur hs making it harder for u
thats false
well some schools also don't have A+'s and B+'s. also some teachers don't believe in an A+ being better than A (why? i have no clue). .-.
yeah but they cant recalculate the schools reported average gpa for the class
if the school calculates A+ as 4.0
and A as 3.7
I only found smth from solomon admissions
im gonna ask
Solomon is well respected though
they reclacuate given the classes u take?
They have ex-stanford aos on their team
thats true
not straight from the gpa
i feel like it has to be considered
to understand how a student is doing in context of their school
it should be but its probable that don't. now that they mentioend this
and your gpa in respect to your school's average
if they report
but stanford considers class rank
this is true
If your school ranks
.-. looking at jerry's file it doesn't tell u specific letter grades for each course
only gpa and courses
its online but ill send the pdf again
oh wait i have it
lmao
Just in case anyone else needs this
wait actually they might actually see ur gpa
his recalculated su6 is 4.00
Maybe delete it an resend it with the name censored
they recalculate to take electives out of ur gpa calculation
so theyt ake into accoutn both
your school gpa
its online?
and su6
on a video?
yeah
I thought it was some random friend of urs
lol nah
i wish
su6 is their recalculated
thats his school gpa
is 4.83 weighted
when the AO starts their notes with "Wow!"
i am so fucked
imma be like
this guy does one thing really good
he shows how to name drop a prof
and not make it forced
6 1 5 6 6
my essays have such a good theme
i hope they can hard carry me in
my ps doesn't have the theme tho
I dont have a theme in my essays
my supps have the same theme as my PS
Oh well
did u notice the theme of mine?
Fuck me
you have subconcious theme
Yea no duh
we just are try hards
It’s in your face sort of
i feel like i fucked up my diversity essay tho
like its genuinely not good
my essays are cooking
do you wanna read
my diversity essay
i promise you
its trash
ok
We do numbers
after a talk with alkie, i decided that stanford rea is the best choice
getting bad grades s1? still eaing to USC and will hold a decent shot there
basically probably shouldnt be eding just because of anxiety
Aren’t you the legacy guy
REA Stanford Fs
If you care about school community you should not go to Columbia
This is the case at any top school, but it’s probably the worst here because we have too many students
i got into columbias fly in and was honestly just blinded by statistics and anxiety i think
Ah I see
yea that's what i thought too
I wouldn’t ED where you don’t want to go
i do wanna go there
but not as much as stanford
Not me 😔
ur good then
Fair she made it seem like it was super super awful
Bffr you will
yeah we have like 40k kids
And once an org has more than like 120 people it's way too big
So imagine if you're heading a club that people actually want to get into
That’s fair
You have to apply for the fucking BTS class because they don't have enough space in the lecture hall
I could not imagine 😭
Dang 😭
Actually fuck this place lol
I’m so desperate to go to Berkeley 😭
Like ik it’s not all that cracked up but I romanticize it a lot
I'm desperate to leave ngl
Really
I definitely romanticized here but I thought that the issues it has wouldn't be that big
Is there a specific reason why
Oh like class sizes?
Yeah
That's a big one
The area just also feels extremely unsafe
Those are like two of the main ones that I tell ppl
The only issue is if I apply for transfer it's only worth it at like three schools
That’s so real I was in Oakland when I was in the hospital 3 miles from Berkeley and like …
So I'm kind of stuck
Ah ok what do you think about in terms of mcb if you’re familiar
Oh 😭 are you going to try anyways?
There's a strong mcb community here but don't go here if you're looking for premed
yeah sure why not
I have to get a 4.0 though
Why is that
I’m looking for premed or prevet
I heard Berk deflates a lot
yeah we deflate like crazy
if you're looking to get into a top med school you need a high GPA which is very difficult to achieve here
Yikes
Do you think that’s the case at la too
Actually I shouldn't say that it's not too difficult if you're willing to adopt a certain lifestyle
Yes but to a lesser extent
Hmm ok
I feel like Berkeley just looks ideal bc it’s right next to home for me
Like if you're ok with just giving up on a social life you'll be fine here
Which is what I do
Oh 😭
Yeah I mean if you just commute and study you'll be successful here
I alr did in high school I was lowkey hoping not to do that in college
I probably wouldn’t commute but I want to be close to my parents
I don’t want to be studying 24/7
Unless you either find a great group that doesn't care that you're busy or you just min-max for social life
Like I can but that’s not ideal
Fair
Like I study basically 24/7 but my social hour is also studying
Just that I study with others and complain about courses
😭
So I mean yeah if study group gossip is enough for social life then you're fine here
I really would not reccomend consuming alcohol either
I want to have a more balanced life fs
Yeah this is not the place for one haha
😭 noted
Yk maybe Berkeley will reject me and I won’t have to decide
Either way I can sacrifice my social life if needed
Yeah I would apply anyways
Yeah ofc I can decide once decisions come out and I visit
Also my dad would murder me if I didn’t apply
yeah I would too haha
Leaving money on the table sort of thing
If you're confident in your academics and live in Cali apply to the top 4 UCs at least
He’s the #1 Berkeley fan
Yeah I’m applying to all except merced and riverside
I would include merced
They recently rose above Riverside in USNews
I don’t like the area 😭
Oh yeah it’s more so I wouldn’t fare well there
Same with Davis (can’t deal with the climate) but my dad is always like “😍 Davis is so good for bio”
yeah they are haha
.-. have u seen the campus
davis??? irvine is good for bio.
Bro begging to go to the school of Stanford rejects
hopefully this is the place to ask but has anyone else had issues w saving their answer to the roommate essay in common app
like every time i try to save it takes me to an error page
How often do AOs verify activites/honors? I saw that one of the Readers confirmed Jerry's presentations with his GC
Just asking because my GC knows little to nothing about what I do outside of school
HI SANDRA
show me the screenshot; i haven't had this issue with stanford but it sounds like the webpage's just having a skill issue
FINISHED ALL MY EAS YES
gc?
bro since when was sandra in this discord
oh that
holy shit
uh they confirm if they can
guidance counselor
and if ur a top applicant BUT it also looks like a lot of work
yeah i figured that out
wdym
erin, former stanford admisisons: "This student has a lot of ecs. So we sometimes double check if it looks like it might have been too much work"
How do they double check the ECs
but u should be good if u did ur ecs
Is it simply through the guidance counselor
Literally 9/10 of my ecs are done outside of school
calling people, finding stuff online, checking insta or linkedin
there's always social media footprints u have to worry about
Ic
.-. its fine
even if they can't check, this process is meant to find liars. not people who actually did the work
Should i provide proof like links to my projects in the additional info section
you could
i mean u can? but u don't have to. are any of ur projects obscure?
like not well known?
personally for me i just cited all my presentations and publications
if they want to verify my presentation they can just search up the conference and find my name
I guess so because they are all independent projects
if it is, u can say something like: "I wanted to clarify what this was: and share info and stuff"
in ur additional finroamtion section
Ok
wait its like just the error page
like every time i try to hit continue it takes me to https://apply.commonapp.org/error
yeah just that one
hold on lemme pull up commonapp
i've been able to do the other two just fine
yeah
well i mean not those questions but yeah LMAO
idk i think its a platform issue bc my essay's in a weird format
wdym
like what format would cause it to crash?
it's all text tho but it's formatted something like a list
but i've tried other text that isn't formatted like that
and it worked
my friends have done that and it's worked fine
do you want me to look at it
i already submitted my stanford app
LMAO sure let's take this to dms
Does anyone have a pdf detailing how exactly Stanford rates students?
Something that explains hte 1-6 scale more
where are you tryna transfer
do they actually call people
might be based off too much hours too
if u have a job at a workplace, sometimes.
nah
its like crazy rare
and i think they call ur school counselor first anyways
realll
and when "painting ur self in the best light" don't make 400 hours -> 1000 hours and say "you just rounded up"
💀 just write 400+
what if i dont tell my school counselor stuff bro lol
u should. they write ltters for u ;-;
*recs
as long as ur not that one yale reddit kdi
many AOs say that they dont read add'l info if its like more ecs
so you have to be careful
if its explanation of ecs, its allowed
yeah like they know my activities in school but they dont know external shit
.-. did u ever give them ur resume or brag sheet?
im not lying obv but idk if my hours feel inflated? they add up to i think 28 ish hours per week?
i saw some UIUC admission file and apparently they just didnt read it at all but yeah
thats average ish... for a typical ivy admit ;-;
again with school activities
i mean thats uiuc but ik for a fact that stanford reads it
i think UIUC they're not allowed to read it someone mentioned that in the uiuc channel
damn ok
oh. u could have epxlained on ur resume what u do outside
i didnt want them to know 💀
like i didnt wanna hide it specifically
but i just didnt feel like i should tell them about some stuff
oh.
;-; then u would be fine either way
just because they can't confirm smth doesn't mean they can reject u. only if they can confirm ur telling the truth or lying, then they can reject u .-.
as long as ur not this kid: https://www.reddit.com/r/collegeresults/comments/13oh1e8/asian_male_cs_liar/
im not worried im just curious lmao
i mean as long as they trust you you should be fine
my hours are hella underestimated
yeah plus i linked my main ecs in additional info lol
o7 nice
i just cited my confernces and presentations
that works too
.-. just no resumes or linkedins in ur additional info and yall should be fine
i also put that i was a coke semifnialist in my additional info but i don't think it adds anything LMAO
i mean it kinda does? (in a good way)
.-. coke finalists (if u get it) is basically a golden ticket to at least one ivy
oh my god is this real 💀
rescinded?
bro that sucks
theres no way this is true
why put effort at all
.-. im pretty sure it is.
all I see is one comment which was editied to say he got jumped after it got lots of attention sooo
okay then lets says its possible but we don't k if its true or not.
think about it .-. they can't verify 1000s of applicants
in detail
someone in the comment put that it might not be the person themselves but it might be a friend who wanted them to get caught
i was talking about whether he got jumped or not
not whether the whole thing is true
ohhh. this part i think is true :/ i k a guy who has friends in maryland
i mean someone couldve just contacted the admissions office with all the info, like im sure they could find a profile given the gpa, sat score and stuff like that
.-. does admission office care enough?
sometimes they do. sometimes they don't ;-; (typically emails saying this other applicant is bad are not recognized)
well yeah
💀 plus their mindset be like: there's a gray area of applicants. if we rejected all our current admitees and admitted the gray area rejects, it would barely change
i know of a situation where someone was rescinded for misrepresenting/misreporting a transcript from a school they went to in their home country. he had committed and stuff, but some (former) friends told the school about it and lost him his place
- "Yale Director of Admissions" in Harry Bauld's book i think
why not
could be because of this mindset. but could be for another reason
hypothetically if i know someone who lied on their application but got in, how would i let the admissions office know
email?
yeah but i mean if they dont check it
yeah call or email
call
why u tryna slow their roll
bros hating
.-. personally i don't have the confidence to report someone because one- it can make u look like a snobby jealous person and two- why would u want to go to a school that admits posers
hypothetically 😭
bro just let em livee
you prolly have to tell ur school conselor
the admissions system is a scam anyways
💀 immoral?
i wouldnt cheat bc its against my morals
but if someone is a dirtbag
just let them be
I have I live really close
i aint tryna shit on other people
Yes but Irvine is like my county 2.0 😭 not trying to live that again
;-; ngl i prefer ucla, uci, uc sd over berkeley just because of the environemnt
Well I’m getting rejected so
no we'll all get in
also youre acting like the admissions system has any justice at all its so skewed by many measures and legacy admits and all that. theres def immoral stuff about the application system
^ our only mindset rn
i paid off the AOs its fine
W
unfortunately not happening. ill take one for the team tho so yall can get in

LOL
funny parody of admissions
Me too 😍
i'm actually so screwed if i don't get in stanford
i've put like months in to my stanford app and like not enough in anything else
You’ll live
Reuse
.-. real. my semester grades rn are on the verge of a B...
i have bad news bro.....stanford is stanford
same 💀
hard to reuse .-.
I need to legit study and grind on those ucs
dont put all your hopes on literally the top 5 or top 3 hardest colleges to get into in the entire US
nah
Not really
roommate + 5 things maybe for harvard
thats just asking for trouble
i'm reusing stanford for UCs and everything else
ngl im pretty sure a handful of coke finalists dont get into ivies
i only have to rewrite why schools
You can reuse at least 2 Stanford essays
i thought coke finalist comes after ivy decisions
ye some of the coca cola people do nothing
Valid
especially when the initial app is based off of an algorithm
also if ur coke finalist ur application is prob good anyways so ur not getting in due to being a coke finalist lmao
anyone here a semifinalist?
LOL fax
tbh stanford was my number #1 before i took it off rea now usc or uchicago or gtown or even northeastern are like at the top so im pretty ok about not getting into stanford
i didnt put enough hours
my mom wants me to get in though cuz she lived in cali for 12 years and to her its the most prestigious university
i only put 70
same
in reality i shouldve put like 700
stanford?
Billert
coke semi is so stupid
i just counted actual volunteer hours
but its better than national semifainlist .-. so its anice to thing to have
if yall got into every ivy would you still pick stanford
same
yeah.
Yeah
yeah
But probably Stanford
as someone who lives on the east coast, i can't deal with the weather
the only good season is late summer and fall
i can't with yale... its too politically and socially active ;-; for them to admit me
Lolll I’m excited for it as a Californian
nah imo nmsf is better. neither are really helping your admissions odds because nmsf is just a test score and colleges know coke semi is an algorithm. coke semi doesnt give u any money but nmsf gets u a full ride to like 30 colleges and tons of scholarship money at many schools
yeah but 50% of it is because cali>>>>
I love this aspect
california is shit
.-. admission rates for coke semi is much better than antional semi
east cost better
California is nice but
east cost brrrrr
It has its cons
where are you getting this info?
bros making shit up
there's a reason why people replace national semi with coke .-. on honors
i cant survive indian wwinters bro im def not surviving east coast
no there isnt lmao its just a preference. you really think coke semi is prestigious to colleges? every college knows about the volunteer hours algorithm
i would choose princeton or harvard lol
oh wait i read that wrong
I got my Stanford portal email 🥶
haha come to india. 50 celsius everyday
i meant coke finalists with the money stuff..
if i got into every ivy id use princetons financial aid for stanford
any school id choose penn/usc
nice
coke finalist doesnt get u money i thought?
I visit in July every year and die
it does?
No go ucla
Q: How many finalists are there? A: There are 250 finalists and several that are Emory scholars. Q: Do all finalists get money? A: Yes, but they must go to Atlanta in late March or early April and participate in the final interview stage.
which city/state
I need to be careful about the schools I hate on though bc knowing my luck those will be the schools I get into 💀
i went for my upanayanam summer 2022 and i was straight delirious bro i was like barely able to stay concious and felt like passing out at all times
does it get you full ride at tons of colleges?
you'd think you'd get used to it but you never do :")
are you US born?
i swear if it werent for air conditioner we would all die
oh and did i mention our school year starts in june so we sit through that heat
okay not full rides. but national semifinalist doesn't give u any money for most ivies
i didnt have AC lmfao
We go to multiple but always Andhra Pradesh (Hyderabad and vishakhpatnam) and Karnataka (gadag)
yeah but moved back when i was 7 so pretty much indian
Sometimes Vijayawada
except for citizenship 🤡
coke doesnt get you money at ivies bro. ivies dont have merit scholarships
i mean they give u raw money 💀 not specific to a schol
hyderabad is in telangana you silly ABCD
national merit is specific to schools
ahhh im in chennai so you've got humidity from the beach
ruby is NOT indian gng
Bro idk my parents tell me it’s part of Andhra still
i rather have 20 k for any college than full ride to the national semi colleges
They refuse to accept telangana as a place
lmao thats funny
if i only got 20k aid to stanford i wouldnt go
I haven’t been but Indian beaches are so wild
its not aid. coke is scholarship. but u'll still get aid directly from stanford if applied for fafsa or wahetevr its called
does anyone know when GIT is due
Did you decide to do rea btw
i know but im saying that as a general
what school that
ya alkie said i shoukd
WWW
@harsh sentinel which EA school do u have left
he think's being binded would be a bad move on my part
and how many EAs are u applying to
i hate them
32 is insane
gtech
essays
oh
like i hate beaches in general but
so u not rea to stanford?
vizag beaches 🔥
Valid
its just saying time to submit is getting close
I almost got washed out to sea once
i am but gtech is a public
its just stress
California beaches are much more tame
It’s ea
okay cool
gtech is public
mannn i was rooting for columbia ed
yeah ik. i was just confused because i thought someone said gtech was rea
me
Some guy in A2C tried to come at me for doing Stanford rea and usc ea 😭
how many hours did you put
💀
why
for what
isnt that like the only exception lmfao
volunteer
stanford litterally has it as an example of their FRQ page now lmao
oh i put like 700 ish
“You’re breaking their policy”
the 29/32 is essays i've written not schools i've applied to.
essays i've got left are why purdue (procrastinating this for the past 2 hours), purdue's honors college thingy, and why uw-m
ea schools im doing: usc, uchicago, fordham, neu, gtown, scu, umass, uiuc, emerson, usf, cwru, purdue, uw-m
(might take off uw-m cuz i cannot bring myself to write that essay ugh)
in total
ah no wonder
YES
LOL
No literally
holy shit thats so many lmao. btw uchicago non ed is so brutal
if you get in youre literally a god
non ed is just like useless tbh
only reason im not applying
ur wasting 50$ or whatever
rlly
i know but i cant bring myself to not bcuz i love my uchicago essay sm :(
if you need fin aid you can get a fee waiver
idk what if i get in then ill never know if i get into stanford or yale
if you're applying for need based financial aid yes
apparently the percentage of students that get in uchicago early vs. regular is split 50-50
my mindset for real
does reg include ed ii
no
but what if you get deferred/rejected from stanford rea and you wasted the columbia boost from EPC
i asked an uchicago ao
then whats the ed ii percent???
i cant ED anywhere cuz financial constraints
in india the senior year final exams start in january so ill be very busy in december which is why im stacking up on early apps
"epc boost" is still present in RD
lmao its def like 80% in ed i and ii
@real herald are you EDing columbia
apparently cmu ed gives no real advanatge
its present fs but epc + ed = golden ticket
i dont believe in ED
unless you are hooked
i think most ivy ED don't give any advantage
is it because they mostly accept instate students?
its jsut binding REA
it's more like they don't really care
thats also placebo
more instate students apply
thats true
which is why more instate students get in all top schools
ik but im honestly just not a fan of the core and if i go to columbia i have to give up bme + premed
i think nyu ed or washu ed or duke ed or any non ivy ED is worth it but my goal is upenn and penn ED is just stupid lmao
why bme?
there's engineering school
ah i see well stanford fits better for you then obv bettere not to force yourself into a school you dont like
stanford rea?
does nw ed give significant boost
stanford rea is a waste of time unless ur hooked
imo
theres very few 'regular' applicants that get in
i just want a decision earlier
dont get me wrong, i love it a lot but i cant get past the core
cuz if i dont like premed or wanna do med school i have a suitable career to fall back on
ima get shit on for this 😭
nah some ppl do
i'm pretty sure that's true for regular decision as well
ngl
no im saying why can't u do bme??
there are very few regular applicants that get in regular decision
columbia has it .-. ???
because it's a selective institution
I just want to know early and not be waiting till April 1st to get rejected from my childhood dream school
what are you doing early then lol
cuz engineering + premed at columbia is hard and hella grade deflation
id have to take classes over the summer
completely fair but the people who say rea gives you a boost are coping and lying to themselves
;-; thats true. their graduation rate is kinda mid
lol i don't think anyone says that shit
at least not here
plus i cant dual major in humanities really easily
well im applying georgetown ea (i know it doesnt give a boost) and usc ea rather than doing an ivy REA which i know im not qualified for
absolutely wrong lmao ive met at least 5-10+ ppl on here who believe ed at an ivy or rea at a top school gives a boost
since childhood i wanted to get in to yale because i read that barack obama went there. then i grew up and realized he went to harvard. now my favorite t5 is stanford. story of my life.
some mf was tryna convince me upenn wharton ED gives him better odds
i feel like ed'ing might help a little bit?
😭
ya ive met a lot too
bros coping
nope
REA definitely doesn't help
fr?
LOLLL
bro just likes prestige
i wanted to go to columbia because i liked new york but then my dad told my crazy stories of stanford so i decided i wanna go there
i thought the acceptance rates were a lot higher ED
omg same
compared to REA
real
depends on school lol
on paper yes but look at whos applying ED to wharton
cough cough john hopkins ed (excluding bme program)
im also doing umich, ut austin and 3 safeties hence the 7/23 completed for me
i feel like it doesn't make sense to apply ED for a competitive advantage if that school isn't your top school
W
yes
because you're just going to be bound there
actually i wanted to go to berkeley more but realized i couldnt afford it
People are ok not going to their top school
thats why im not applying NU ed or emory ed or nyu ed or duke ed bc i genuinely think i have a shot at those and dont want to be bound
ah rip i wish i could ED
The way my FAVORITE TEACHER still HASNT done my rec ☹️
wait i dont get that logic
It’s the only thing incomplete on Stanford
dont you wanna be bound to a good school?
No it’s like
They think they can get in
but you would've never even got the chance to apply to your top choice school
bro she loves you sm that she is tearing herself up to write you a godly LOR
Without Ed
Sure but that’s the cost
No facts
REAL SAME
He said I was his top student 🥰
i want to be bound to an ivy but not to a school that isnt my #1 such as those i listed earlier. problem is ED at ivy doesnt give a boost
make sure he writes that in there :)
No literally
my teacher LORs wont be elite elite
but hopefully my outside LORs carry
i know outside are valued less
but let me be delulu
ed does give a boost for a couple of reasons
non negotiable financial aid
well its not that hard to back out of an ed agreement
and demonstrated interest (dartmouth)
just cry that youre too poor
I think one of mine will
FOOTBALL IN 3 MINUTES LETS GOOO
It’s still apparently a risk
I GET TO WATCH MY POVERTY FRANCHISE GET SHIT ON!!!!
Me when I have to do Econ 🤡
ngl im not sure what the strong components are of my application
W
macro or micro
not 100% sure but i feel like ED does help in some cases
Macro
especially in schools that want to preserve yield
you got into epc and some other flyins right? thats validation right there. i assume your essays are elite?
ah
our school only offers on level econ for 1 semester so i took it last year 1st sem and self studied for the AP exam
i mean yeah but my essays were trash so
With my application i feel like everything is really good but not like outstanding but everything will balance out and I'll get in
bros being humble fr (the stars kid said the same thing yet both of yall got in)
idk if my lors are good or not
Dang
thats me (except im delulu )
all my friends who did the same got a 4. it was like 5 or 6 of us and literally nobody got a 5
we were all shocked ngl
Wow
I’m not taking the exam
well theyre not bad but theyre not good
wait why
I don’t have it in me to self study micro too and take 7 AP exams
Taking comp gov instead
ur in 7 aps??
crazy
i didnt self study micro
i self studied macro
are you taking the macro exam?
6
No bc
I self studied all my APs lmao my school offers none
I didn’t want to a get half year of credit
same
we're full IB
we're getting in everywhere fr
USC didn’t send me a temporary pin???
Im cbse💀
What do I do

yeah same i submitted Friday too i got last night
I just like

Fee waivers
Does usc only have two things on the checklist?
did you get your portal?
Yes
Ok same
I was just wondering bc Stanford has like 10 things
What
on the portal
Where are they
it might not be available yet
they sent me an email
saying to do it
so u might get it tomorrow
uh my affirmations were there as soon as i got the portal
wait we're talking about usc right
hmm
cwru is free?
I don’t see anything
fee waiver
did u just email them?
fordham gave me one randomly
oh i couldve applied to cwru diversity overnight
yeah that's how i got cwru
i never would've applied if it weren't for the waiver
One sec
Got this randomly
yeah not surprised lol
Bro
You still have like a shit ton of time
thats real tho
one of my teachers did it oct 15 and i had a deadline that day
I asked in august 😭
way to give a heart attack to you
aw shite
he kept saying he would do it which irked me 💀
does this teacher like you
it was a safety tho
i hope that means he didn't rush it tho
yes
oh that's good
cause i wanted a good recc from him and we had a good relationship
last time my teacher wrote a rec within an hr and it was fibe
fine
like it was good
Yeah recs don’t necessarily don’t need to take a lot of time
To be good
Should I get a letter of rec from Barack Obama
ong
bro what
I can literally win a Nobel peace prize and Medal of Honor and they’ll still say no because something was off about my character
actually
that’s what fucking mit would do
no
MIT you just write i am a camper
then you get let in
Stanford you write i am a furry
and ur auto admit
wait wdym for Stanford
not unless he can actually speak to your character
stanford loves their furries
. . .
its based
write about furries
What if I write about why I like men
nope
its a banned word
Does this apply to admissions
lmao idts
i think its still better to obv avoid some of the words
Yeah noted
Thanks salami
bruh what else am i supposed to call my tribe then
💀 its not a banned word? they referring to the verb
whitelist is banned wtf
Pinoy pride moment
🇵🇭 🇵🇭 🇵🇭
Ngl pretty goofy how this is the only term listed under the colonialism section of the doc tho
"you guys" is banned
yea the doc is stupid
i get why
but
some of these are rooted deeply within the modern english language
kill me
real
one guy from my school applied to stanford rea and got deferred rejected
Damn
Real (I'm also delusional)
you can see videos of people reading them out loud
on the internet
wait how do people know when stanford decisions drop
iirc it was 7pm last year but how do we know the date
No.
Deferred rejected is the worse bc it’s like your application is good enough to be considered in general but just barely not good enough to edge someone else out
i submitted tree 😭
pleassseeee let me in
or i'm not gonna know what i'm gonna do with myself
deferred waitlist rejected is the worst feeling
it's like they're teasing u
they can do that?
real
he coped by saying he doesnt like cali lol
yea
he goes to umich now
you get deferred to regular
then you get waitlisted
then you get rejected
very unlikely to happen tho ngl
cuz stanford likes to give final decisions
yeah i've heard
Just read one of my Stanford rec letters and it’s soooo good
My teacher was super nice
W
we will get in
Your teachers can elect to show your letters of rec to you if they want to
Ngl I don't wanna read my letters of rec tho 💀
are u REA too?
I'm gonna let those rest for my peace of mind
QB
good idea
whats stanford matched
Wdym
i've heard REA is suicide
Match day?
like what do u have it ranked as
Second
im legacy so its the only time ill get a boost
Harvard isn't even a QB partner lol
mit?

what else do u have ranked
fair
so just mit stanford penn?
fyi this is what my counselor told me abt REA
I had six on my list before then I realized I didn't really wanna be bound through the match to the others
All those supps in two weeks 💀
Hell naw
LMAO
thats what i felt with columbia
so i decided not to
so i guess it could work out for u @dim badge
honestly im not expecting anything
it could
but
idk
what scores you got?
for what?
i think ill be okay
alr, good luck then
are u rea too?
we have tons of ppl here rea without legacy
should I submit 1430 SAT (710 math 720 Reading/writing) I know for Stanford its kinda low but for my school and demographics its really high
is it above the 25th percentile?
does this apply to harvard too?
dunno
no 🥲
I BEEN SAYING THIS SHIT AND NOBODY LISTENING BRUH
I would go test opt
prob not
Harvard is worse
Fax
lmao
wouldnt be surprised
they have 70% deferral rate 💀
78*😭
