Stanford University (2023-2024)

[harsh sentinel]

because all of them come out on the same day 💀 (georgetown speculated, everything else confirmed)

[slate cloud]

Oh lmao

[harsh sentinel]

lol i wish them luck for 11 decisions in one day

[gray rivet]

fr 😭

[topaz cloud]

think its too late for some math/coding competition wins to affect my decision? just state and regional ones but 1st place is always nice

[hoary sluice]

no one knows the rest of ur app or the rest of the applicant pool lol so nobody can tell u

doesnt matter who the lor is from it matters what it says

[sturdy aspen]

When is the decision date this year?

[harsh sentinel]

speculated 3/29

[old pike]

Remove Brown and Georgetown and I'm in 🤝

[spring veldt]

My friend did

[harsh sentinel]

i wish them luck

although if they're your friend they're probably cracked

[spring veldt]

she got UCLA UMich ND so far

[harsh sentinel]

told you

cracked

do you go to a public or priv hs

[spring veldt]

priv but she goes to a public

[harsh sentinel]

ah

does your school usually feed top unis

[spring veldt]

2-4 every year

[harsh sentinel]

damn

[spring veldt]

it’s more abt the kids tho. the school doesn’t push competitive applications or ECs

[harsh sentinel]

oh thats valid

[spring veldt]

a lot of times the kids who get in to like Harvard or Stanford are very smart but don’t have like cracked ECs

makes me believe how powerful essays are

[harsh sentinel]

essays?

yeah thats fs

but its a lot harder to judge what "good" essays are

[spring veldt]

I wanna read urs lol

[harsh sentinel]

sure

dm

[wary aspen]

omg same 😭 im from south asia too i keep reading yours and ms lucks messages, both of yall are so cracked its crazy

[harsh sentinel]

LOL sure ill send my essays

ms luck is proper cracked though im just a semi decent writer

[wary aspen]

let me friend youu

[dim badge]

could you send them to me too?

[wary aspen]

oxford is crazy

they rejected people from my area with 45/45

in IB

and even people predicted with 5 A*s

in a levels

[harsh sentinel]

on second thought i dont wanna send sorry 😭 maybe ill send if i get in

kirk is homie but like i dont really know yall and im worried about plagiarism

[harsh sentinel]

FOR REAL

[dim badge]

No problem makes sense

[gloomy garden]

lmao Oxford rejected a friend of mine who already had 2 bachelors degrees in mathematics and physics from TU Delft at the age of 19

graduated cum laude from high school at 16 in all possible subjects

crazy indeed

[dim badge]

tf

[elfin coral]

Huh

[lean ivy]

anyone have estimates for when it’s gonna come out

[dim badge]

3/29

[gloomy garden]

!ivyday

[pliant trellis]

where is @fish i havent seen him in a whileee. the asian dude

[alpine drum]

Anyone get in without an interview?

[lusty thicket]

definitely

stanfords r purely availability

[lean ivy]

oh damn i didn’t know stanford came out ivy day

[loud wren]

ivy day is 3/28

stanford tends to release the day after

so 3/29 this year:)

but it's all just speculation

[lean ivy]

ohhh i see

[lusty thicket]

Good Friday tho

[lean ivy]

oh right they usually never come out on holidays

well i guess we just wait and see

[real herald]

duke does too but this year duke comes out 3/28 so speculating is that stanford might do the same

since 3/29 is good friday

[loud wren]

oh yeah that's a really good point

well i assume they'll announce by the end of this week!

so we'll see

[real herald]

mhm

[real herald]

ill have 11 decisions in one day if they do

[loud wren]

oh-

is that eight ivies + duke + georgetown + stanford?

or is one of those nyu

[real herald]

i did gtown ea lol

nyu

rd

[loud wren]

gotcha

[real herald]

but yea not a huge surprise

[loud wren]

so you're not opening gtown..

[real herald]

admitted ea!

[loud wren]

so that's good news... right?

[real herald]

very grateful

[loud wren]

[real herald]

[loud wren]

[real herald]

[loud wren]

[white mortar]

does stanford usually announce the date they're plannign to release? whether that's on the portal or to counselors

[lone sparrow]

Is it the day after ivy day or anm i trippin

[solar widget]

usually it is but people said since 3/29 is a holiday then it might be on ivy day

idrk

[void lion]

what time did stanford drop in the day last year

[simple vigil]

why tf did i even apply here

anyone got a crazy story of someone getting in despite something

[elfin coral]

[simple vigil]

[hard mirage]

[fringe sorrel]

Wait

[trail dock]

how i feel applying TO😭 like theres no shot

[harsh sentinel]

Stanford ivy day lmao im okay with that no big deal at all

[trail dock]

wait what

i thought april 1

[harsh sentinel]

may God be with you

[tropic grotto]

stanfords on ivy day?

[harsh sentinel]

Scroll up that's what people are speculating

because it's usually day after ivy day with duke

but 3/29 is a holiday

[little lantern]

WHAT

PLEASE NO

[trail dock]

ikr

aaaaa

[tropic grotto]

fun week

[trail dock]

https://tenor.com/view/kill-me-drink-bleach-gif-22890796

[tropic grotto]

our fate will be decided in 10 days

[trail dock]

nah honestly im gonna not complain even if sjsu

its stanfords younger brother :D

[tropic grotto]

i got 6 decisions left

assuming berkeley is gonna release around ivy day as well

give or take 1 day

[trail dock]

isnt it exaclty ivy day

[tropic grotto]

[tropic grotto]

sheesh

the back to back letters gonna be crazy

[trail dock]

[tropic grotto]

[dim badge]

[old pike]

Good Friday

[elder bridge]

!stanford

[uneven jetty]

did anyone else get the non-tax filer statement request on IDOC

i didn't realize i had to submit those

[hard mirage]

yeah i got it

[uneven jetty]

is it stanford specific? my other schools didn't ask (with the exception of one school i already got into)

[hard mirage]

i had to submit it to yale i think? it will tell u if they need it

[uneven jetty]

no no i meant like i was confused as to why only some schools were requesting

cause i don't wanna have missing fa stuff for other schools

[hard mirage]

i mean just check your finaid checklists for ur schools

[uneven jetty]

ohhhhh

[hard mirage]

some don’t use idoc too

[uneven jetty]

makes sense

[dim badge]

wait did u send the css and not the isafa?

I don't have stan on my idoc at all

[uneven jetty]

i sent the css and they requested a non-tax filer

but some of my other schools didn’t

[elfin coral]

I havent been cheating on you with the harvard chat standford🙏 trust

(ignore my name)

[digital spoke]

mmm

[slate cloud]

I'm watching you

[haughty raptor]

Ah nah Stanford + ivy day + ucb is pure torture

[elfin coral]

+duke

[solar widget]

on the a2c calendar it says irs 3/29

idk tno

good luck guys

i have 11 decisions next week

shits terrible

[loud wren]

yeah it's speculated

but some think that since 3/29 is good friday, it may be on ivy day instead

[white mortar]

here's hoping

[loud wren]

to ivy day release??

[white mortar]

yesyes

[loud wren]

ahh i would be so scared

so many decisions in one day!

i know some have like 8 ivies + duke + cal which is so crazy

[white mortar]

i have yale stanford duke 😭 tbh i just wanna get them al lover

yeah ikr like tbh

emotionally couldnt handle more than like 5 LMFAO

[loud wren]

yes haha

i get it

[white mortar]

im feeling optimistic abt duke, less so abt yale, and even less towards stanford

but we shall see

[real herald]

And nyu lmao

[white mortar]

oh gosh right 😭

[drifting nacelle]

did u guys get an interview

i didnt get one

[nimble sable]

its fine, its random

purely based on location

[fringe sorrel]

ya even when it’s location not everyone gets one

[white mortar]

no interview

[fringe sorrel]

They just do it randomly

[stone mural]

At what time does Stanford usually come out??

[white mortar]

specualted 7 pm est

[weary acorn]

Me waiting for stanford to come out . 😒

[slate cloud]

See you on campus.

;)))

[sturdy cloud]

me watching this thread knowing im getting a personal rejection letter

[trail dock]

im gonna get a blacklist letter

[haughty raptor]

😭 8 rejections in one day

[alpine drum]

Wow you got in rea? What major ? Stats?

[worldly pagoda]

wait stanford is on the 28th??

duke and ucb also right??

[slate cloud]

Symbolic Systems, Philosophy, and Data Science (but my main one is CS). 1510 SAT uhhh idk stats kinda mid (compared to other applicants)

[soft ocean]

What gpa out of 4.0

Can’t be that bad if you got in

[alpine drum]

👍🏻

[coarse lynx]

does anyone use this megathread

oh yeah

apaprently

[slate cloud]

Yes, I just did

[coarse lynx]

omg yay

[elfin coral]

Even if all the Ivy's reject me

Stanford will have my back

I know this for sure

My day 1

🙏

The only application nothing went wrong with

[dim badge]

same praying for that

I love my Stanford essays sm 💖💖

[slate cloud]

I've been seeing you pretty active on Harvard megathread...

But dw I won't snitch on you

[elfin coral]

in my defense. Harvard megathread is more active

[hard mirage]

sameee they were my best supplements

[errant fox]

🤔

[elfin coral]

Im getting in

[trail dock]

w

[shy hinge]

Same twin 🙏

[limber dove]

same

ofc

but like can they be out already...

[quasi relic]

when does stanford usually anounce their decision date

i am surprised they havent yet

[elfin coral]

It's between March 29 and April 1 . We know that for sure

[fossil grove]

Same

[tacit halo]

i'm guessing march 29

[quasi relic]

no but i mean do they usually announce the decision date?

like other schools

[uneven jetty]

its usually the day after ivys

ik interviews are generally non-evaluative but my interviewer took hella notes

is it really that non-evaluative

[trail dock]

ikr

same

[elfin coral]

Any idea if Harvard interview is evaluative?

[urban pulsar]

on ur portals

do u guys not see anything for mid year transcript

was that ever there

how do i know if it sent

[white mortar]

this is all i have

[urban pulsar]

me 2

[digital spoke]

omg I remember seeing that checklist and being so nervous 😭

gl guys

[white mortar]

lmfaoaoahaahasda

these essays were prob my most mid unfortunately 😔

it's ok hoping for yale duke and maaaaaaybe stanny

[digital spoke]

aww

I liked my stanny essays

[slate cloud]

Bring back PTSD

[slate cloud]

Yeah they require a lot of essays

Honestly if I apply RD to Stanford I'll prob won't do as well cause I have too many essays to handle

[white mortar]

ahhhh

congrats on stanford 28! symbolic systems is such a cool major

[slate cloud]

Thank you! I'm still thinking between CS and Symsys, but we'll see

[quasi relic]

wait was CS your fist choice major?

[slate cloud]

No it's SymSys

But it's "kinda" CS lol but not really

[quasi relic]

ah i see

[slate cloud]

But I think it's pretty clear in my application I wanna do SymSys or CS, something in that realm. The reason why I applied SymSys because it has Philosophy and Psychology, which I talked about in my essays so I think it makes sense to apply for that major

[quasi relic]

you are a domestic applicant right?

[slate cloud]

Yeah I am

I'm not that cracked to apply internationally lmao

[quasi relic]

nah i think you are lol

[elfin coral]

I kinda wanna open my ivy decisions on Stanford day. I have too much confidence that Stanford will have my back

[slate cloud]

Lol thanks ;)) I think I'm decent enough for domestic but I read some international applications and they're crazy so just gotta be real I have so much respect for international people lmao they're really out there hustling

[elfin coral]

Fr

[slate cloud]

Good idea lmao wait but if you don't open your decision on the decision day, how long can you wait until it just says out there on your portal? Like what if it's not a surprise anymore?

Cause I'm wanting to open it on Monday with my friends because it's Spring Break

[spring veldt]

Until u open ur portal doesn’t change

[slate cloud]

Oh okay, thanks!

[low quiver]

Gusy I found real working admission hacks!

[tacit halo]

portal astrology

[slate cloud]

Bro plz don't leak this wtf

[velvet prawn]

When does Stanford come out

[slate cloud]

After Ivy Day I think iirc

[shy hinge]

Manifesting

[low quiver]

i gotchu, trust 🙏

[slate cloud]

It's still on there

Alright fine you know what I got in so people in this thread can get in too

Secret code that got me in

[tacit halo]

mine was "technology", does this mean i am cooked?

[slate cloud]

Yeh

[low quiver]

its too long for them to read

[dapper osprey]

Idk if I'll get in but I feel like one of my classmates will cuz every other year someone from my school gets in so we'll see if the cycle is broken

[soft ocean]

Mine was “tech” instead of “Tech”…..

Chat am I cooked?

[storm wolf]

can a very good stanford interview make ur application

like "this guy NEEDS to be admitted" kind of report

[loud wren]

maybe it can give you an edge over a similarly competitive applicant

but it's unlikely to make your application

i have a friend who interviews for Penn and one time called the admissions office to say something like "this person needs to get in" and they were rejected.

🤷

[storm wolf]

oh i see

rip 😭

it was my best interview by far

[loud wren]

it can definitely help!!

don't count yourself out yet!

[harsh sentinel]

it definitely can help your application but since interviews are not by the admissions officers themselves and are by alumni, i wouldn't think they put that much weight on it to literally turn your tide from rejection to acceptance (since each alumni and how they do things can be different and it's not standardized) but like day said if they're undecided on you a good interview can definitely help!

[ornate urchin]

Kinda unfair for those that didn't get interviews 😭

[harsh sentinel]

again thats why its one component of the whole process. stanford especially is one school where not getting an interview will not disadvantage you

[cerulean adder]

ive heard that interviews are more likely to hurt uy than to help u

[harsh sentinel]

thats not true lol

[cerulean adder]

or not necessarily more likely

but they have more capacity to hurt you than help

[harsh sentinel]

i saw somewhere that stanford interviewers are specifically told to start from 3/5 (ie neutral territory) and they mostly only go upwards

its very hard to have a bad interview

most people have neutral interviews which don't help much but don't actively hurt the app

[cerulean adder]

oh, they definitely are generous with their scoring. i just mean that they have relatively little effect even if you do really well

[harsh sentinel]

because i mean your interviewer is a person and you're also a person and you'll ideally be talking about things you care about

[cerulean adder]

but if yuou were to do really bad, that could have a significant effect

[harsh sentinel]

oh that is valid yes

[real herald]

Bro listens to ivyleagueroadmap

😭😭

[harsh sentinel]

true my point is very rarely people do really bad

[cerulean adder]

wait what's that

[cerulean adder]

oh yeah for sure

[real herald]

Nvm

[cerulean adder]

i mean, of course interview

the point is to get to know the interviewer

and learn about the school

but i dont think not having an interview is too terrible imo

if you do really well, it might be a slight boost to your app

if you start cussing out your interviewer, it'll probably kill your app

tho idk why you'd be doing that

[harsh sentinel]

yeah

or if you kiss your interviewer

[dim badge]

ngl at stanford the interviews don't mean that much

like

its the last thing they read i heard

ik of intls that got admitted without interviews

so ur chillin

[elfin coral]

Any info on weight of Harvard interview?

[dim badge]

for harvard based on the court docs it definitely matters much more

idt much people without interviews actually get in

[elfin coral]

I mean I got one I just did extremely bad

Was wondering how strongly they weigh it

[dim badge]

you're probably fine then ngl

a strong one can go a long ways there but idt a "bad" one will necessarily weigh you down unless you screwed up bad

[elfin coral]

I stumbled on my answers for long periods and straight up didn't answer some because I was nervous. Way too awkward💀

[dim badge]

im sure ur chillin dw

[ornate urchin]

Hopefully mine will get me up

There weren't any mistakes and the interviewer seemed to enjoy it, but probably nothing too insane

[harsh sentinel]

yeah same

[gloomy garden]

are they planning to send an email with the release date or what

Columbia sent one yesterday

[trail dock]

and upenn did too

[elfin coral]

https://tenor.com/view/summer-nature-sun-flowers-chill-gif-3384427434939242524

life knowing im a stanford lock

[zenith tulip]

bro i hate how stanford is need aware for intl

[slate cloud]

True that's annoying

[gloomy garden]

Are you aware as to how big of a factor it is?

[slate cloud]

It's just a guess but prob a lot. I think they have a reserved fund for internationals I think

[velvet prawn]

if they want you they will take you

[harsh sentinel]

i dont think thats true

if they want you but you're poor they will hesitate

for intls i mean ^

[loud wren]

gotta love our intl admissions process

because the us college system definitely does not have enough money to help with intl aid :)

[stone mural]

I dont think that’s the case

If they want u, they dc cuz they got the funds

[rich rivet]

hi do we know date/time?

[loud wren]

nothing is official yet

[rich rivet]

estimate?

[loud wren]

most people speculate friday 3/29 at 7pm

but because of good friday, some think ivy day (thu 3/28) at 7pm

est

[rich rivet]

oh okay thank you!

[loud wren]

:)

[harsh sentinel]

there's no way of knowing for sure obviously but i do think if a school specifically says need aware, there's a much lower chance of getting in with a low efc

[gloomy garden]

It would seem to me that it’ll only be a significant factor if it’s a borderline applicant

[slate cloud]

Yeah prob too idk much about international lol but they have a limited fin aid resource so I think it's just more competitive in there I think

[trail dock]

any confirmed date yet

or theyre too pretentious for that

[dim badge]

they didnt really confirm at all last time ngl

[gloomy garden]

nothing yet

[spring mist]

as these decisions drop it's looking less and less likely for acceptance on top of the already impossible chances

[solar widget]

u never know what'll happen

u cant weigh ur chances at one school based on ur rejection from another

[spring mist]

they better see what lafayette sees in me with my personalized acceptance letter

[solar widget]

they will dont worry about it 🫂

[elfin coral]

cmu->berkely-> stanford would be crazy lol

[dusky pumice]

it's not joever yet bro

[spring mist]

I have five decisions left and all them are gonna be difficult

except BU

Harvard Stanford Vanderbilt UMich

[dusky pumice]

ah well even if it doesn't work out you still got squidward cc

[elfin coral]

💀

[elfin coral]

bro I got rejected from gtech and accepted cmu

well i forgot to send em a recomendation letter

💀

but yk

[solar widget]

yeah its v unpredictable

each school looks for smth different ig

[slate cloud]

Yeah very true you might be a good fit for this school but not for another school

Oh and hey fellow tree ;))

I think this is the first time I saw you lmao :v

[solar widget]

noo we talked before lmao

hru

[slate cloud]

Oh we did??? 😭

I have a memory of a goldfish then lmao

I'm was having a pretty bad day cause CMU waitlist but now I'm having a good day cause one of my favorite YouTuber just uploaded and now I'm binge watching his content 😃

How's your day going

And I don't think we did talk lol we didn't DM each other 🤔

[solar widget]

oh who is it

also nah but we talked in gen chat lmaoo

[solar widget]

pretty bad i got wl at tufts and im also lightheaded

[slate cloud]

Ohhh actually that makes sense cause I don't remember anything in gen chat it's always too fast I often remember people on this megathread cause there's not many people and it's slow

[slate cloud]

Keo Tsang :)) I've been watching him for a long time and it's crazy how far he's come. He's also my YouTube mentor lmao cause I wanna be like him

[slate cloud]

Aw man that's tough well at least we have Stanny 🥲 Sad times

[spring mist]

and stanford is like THE extracurriculars place right

please god be so

[solar widget]

uhh stanford is like the intellectual vitality/curiosity place

[spring mist]

GOOD

[solar widget]

the essay where they ask ab learning or wahtver

thats mad important

imo

i think stanford also cares more ab ur personality and values

they also like people who r quirky i guess idk

[spring mist]

oh bet

I think I fucked those essays up hard though lol

just a gut feeling

[solar widget]

i made a typo in my essay

and also i talked ab random ass shit in the roomie essay too

like i went frm mentioning jujutsu kaisen to random shit ab doors

just trust the process i guess

i hope u have other options tho

admissions r so unpredictable

[gloomy garden]

I absolutely killed those essays

[hard mirage]

my roomate essay was my worst one by far

[gloomy garden]

only thing keeping me back is full ride as intl

[hard mirage]

apart from that i ate

[gloomy garden]

but I have lors from 2 stanny profs so maybe that’ll help

[dim badge]

my worst one was my diversity essay

[gloomy garden]

damn I read that’s the most important one

[dim badge]

which ended up being my best essay at most schools

[solar widget]

my stanford essays were done in like 12 hrs lmfao

legit hated them

i think my princeton ones were my bes

t

i just loved the way i portrayed myself

[hard mirage]

meee with my columbia essays

[solar widget]

bro I COOKED MY COLUMBIA ESSAYS

Oh my goe

[velvet prawn]

USC🎉🎉

[solar widget]

THANK UUUU

[velvet prawn]

Nah didn’t apply

[solar widget]

[velvet prawn]

Not worth it but I prob should’ve done it to flex

Nice

[velvet prawn]

Or usc cas

[hard mirage]

nah dornsife

[velvet prawn]

Rutgers

[velvet prawn]

Oh alr

Are u interested in finance

I thought you were bio

[tacit sand]

in general i don't think there's more important or less important ones. it's just a place that you can express yourself more directly. like if showed your IV and personality elsewhere on your app well a subpar roommate essay won't ruin your app.

[hard mirage]

don’t know where u got bio from lmaooo but yeah im into finance/ consulting

[velvet prawn]

Oh nice same

[hard mirage]

ayyyyy

[velvet prawn]

Bc is decent

Congrats on that too

Carol?

[hard mirage]

yup!!

[spring mist]

thank god

it genuinely feels so over after today though im so deadass

[velvet prawn]

You wont care abt this after 5/1

[spring mist]

I honestly blame my GPA and lack of ability to read

[velvet prawn]

What else r u Wisitng for

[spring mist]

I guess

[spring mist]

I would've had a 1500 if I could read though

I'd have a 95/100 gpa if I could read

but no lmao

I should've read more when I was younger but even then it didn't help

[hard mirage]

[cerulean adder]

yeah fr, they realllyyy look at perosnality

[carmine pilot]

stanford v stingy tho

even if they have the funds to do so

[slate cloud]

Yeah for international students they have limited resource of financial aid unlike other schools

[carmine pilot]

idt anyone in my country has ever gotten in with aid

💀

[slate cloud]

The entire country? Dang that's tough

[velvet prawn]

a rise winner did

india feeds to stanford

ive seen a few ppl

usually ppl who win rise global or oly

[carmine pilot]

rise..

isn't rise a typa scholarship

[velvet prawn]

its a year long comp

but yeah its a scholly

[carmine pilot]

doesnt rise pay for your college tuition

yeah

[velvet prawn]

full ride if u win

100/14k

[carmine pilot]

so technically it's not with aid then

bcs rise pays for them

[velvet prawn]

yeah

[carmine pilot]

idk but in my country only rich kids get into stanny

ffs

!stanford

[hard mirage]

they should announce it soon

[simple vigil]

stanford please clutch

[sinful bough]

okok tyy

[quasi relic]

how often do people get rejected from berkeley and cmu cs but get into stanford cs

[last narwhal]

0%

[elfin coral]

I wonder if I get cmu eecs + Berkeley eecs then how likely a Stanford eecs is

Well I don't need to know how likely bc I'm getting in

[hard mirage]

when i become the first person ever accepted to stanford from my school>>

[elfin coral]

Same

[harsh sentinel]

me but my city

[dusky pumice]

same

[cerulean adder]

surely not 0%

[drifting nacelle]

What kind of student does Stanford want

That’s different from other schools

And can those compensate a relatively lower gpa like 3.8?

sample size too small

[pliant trellis]

plz let me in next week fr

plz

[spring mist]

let me in please I don't want to go to RIT I hate Rochester

[spring mist]

damn.

cs program

city sucks though

[white mortar]

still no stanford confirmed decision date & time 😔

[void lion]

did stanford confirm last year tho when it dropped?

[pliant trellis]

try vermont!

[trail olive]

💀💀💀💀💀💀

[elfin coral]

What

[trail olive]

they're different schools that look for different things

[elfin coral]

Obv

But yk

Baselines

[trail olive]

no

I do not know

[elfin coral]

💀

[elfin coral]

It's only reasonable to assume

[trail olive]

what

[elfin coral]

If someone got into CMU eecs and Berkely eecs you'd be more likely to bet on em getting Stanford eecs. Rather than someone who got neither

Sure we know they look at different things

But you know that individual is in the right direction

And above many applicants

[trail olive]

yeah but you're asking how likely as if it's quantifiable

[elfin coral]

Oh lol

That's more of me trolling

[elfin coral]

[lost knoll]

[elfin coral]

[hardy crescent]

so decisions on 3/29 supposedly?

[forest bloom]

is it?

[hardy crescent]

idk thats what the calendar is speculating

i was wondering how ya'll figured thi sout

[forest bloom]

idk i came to ask the same thing💀

[white mortar]

it's been the day after ivy day for a bit i think

[hardy crescent]

ok cool

ngl im getting rejected idk why im stressed

[forest bloom]

3/29 it is

[forest bloom]

lmao same

[hardy crescent]

i applied for african american studies and biomedical computation maybe thats unique enough for them to slide me that acceptance

[white mortar]

damn

i applied for sustainability and communications 😭

[hardy crescent]

lmfao we really in the minority

its like 99% cs

[forest bloom]

i applied poly sci😭

[white mortar]

tbh...idk how i feel abt the quarter system

[hardy crescent]

quarters suck

my dual enrollment college is on them

[white mortar]

rn my top 4 choices that i'd reasonably go to r:

1. yale
2. duke
3. umich (accepted)
4. stanford

ahhhh my hs is on quarter system

[hardy crescent]

they're actual torture

[forest bloom]

what’s a quarter system

[white mortar]

each "academic period" that'd usually be a semester for most other universities is instead a quarter

so you'd have exams 4 times a year

iirc

[forest bloom]

so finals four times?

[hardy crescent]

mine are 1. Harvard, Stanford (tie) 3. Yale 4. Penn M&T Columbia (tie) 6. Berkeley MET (Accepted)

so this week is make or break ngl

[hardy crescent]

yup

[forest bloom]

that’s horrible

[hardy crescent]

literally

[white mortar]

it is

the UCs do that as well iirc

[white mortar]

congrats on berkley MET

hope the rest go well for u 🙏🏼

what r u trying to do for career?

[forest bloom]

yeah the ucla subreddit kept talking about how it’s bad

[hardy crescent]

so im in this very weird niche of Data Science Based Political Wellbeing Investments

which if it sounds like BS is because it is

but like using data science/CS

to develop technologies (healthcare, infrastructure, education)

to invest in developing countries

so like i'd def do DDRL honors if i went to stanford

majors idk, maybe STS or IR?

[white mortar]

woahhh

that's so cool

that is genuinely very niche and i hope stanford AO appreciates it

i'm tryna be either an environmental policy or an ai ethics lawyer

[hardy crescent]

lmfao i think i got a very high intellectual vitality score bc in retrospect my supps kinda cooked on that

its my gpa thats fucking me over bc i have a 3.7UW

even tho good sat and stuff

[white mortar]

ahhhhh

[hardy crescent]

ooohh

[white mortar]

i applied on a whim ngl

so i didnt even know abt the holistic standard stuff

[white mortar]

i really hope they look past it and see the rest of ur app as amazing as i bet it is

[hardy crescent]

lmfaoo hopefully

see u on campus this fall 🙏🏾

[white mortar]

hopefully (it isn't happening 😔 stanover)

[hardy crescent]

i will say i got a little nerdy and linked my website into each of my applications and I can see how long the AOs from each school viewed it

5 minutes for stanford

[white mortar]

whatttttt

[hardy crescent]

twice

[white mortar]

damn

u deserve it atp 😭

[hardy crescent]

so i'm not auto reject

idk tho

yale looked at it for 6 seconds

like bro

u did not absorb any of that

[white mortar]

😔

don't give up hope

it's not yaleover until the 28th

[forest bloom]

aye law buddies

[white mortar]

yuhhhhhh

[forest bloom]

that’s genius lmao

[cunning basin]

how u get that role i’m jus wondering

[elfin coral]

Is bro me?

Except switch Yale with CMU lol

[hardy crescent]

Cmu waitlisted me

I shoulda done Heinz ngl

Instead of scs

[elfin coral]

Idek the college names💀

Just got in for ece

Oh information systems and public policy

[cunning basin]

ohhh march madness

lol

[white mortar]

mhm mhm

[hardy crescent]

No way

Were the same

I’m 99.1% and have Duke winning

wtf

[white mortar]

🔥 🔥 i did it in like 5M

whatttt

[gray rivet]

AI ETHICS LAWYER HELP SAME

[real herald]

best color bro

[trail dock]

im an ai major, whats an "ethic"?

[harsh sentinel]

are you joking lol

[lost pier]

Does anyone have a speculated release date

[harsh sentinel]

3/28 or 3/29

3/29 because its usually day after ivy day

3/28 because 3/29 is a holiday

[lost pier]

I cannot handle 11 schools on ivy day

😭

[harsh sentinel]

good luck lol

[lost pier]

It’s fine at least we have Freddy at LA 🙏

[harsh sentinel]

FREDDDYYYYYY

WE STAN UCLA FREDDY

[lost pier]

YEAAA

[harsh sentinel]

freddy will single handedly make me choose ucla over berkeley

[carmine pilot]

Does holiday usually mean no decision?

[slate cloud]

Yeh same question

:))

[wintry thunder]

Ig it's related to the biasness and stereotypes in ai

[harsh sentinel]

I guess so?

[carmine pilot]

i mean is there like another college previously done that (postpone due to holiday)

or are we just guessin

[nova ruin]

Stanford usually likes kids who are really niche so depends on how you showed that on your application

[forest bloom]

in my roommate essay i compared myself to the characters in the breakfast club

hopefully my ao is nostalgic for the 80s

[tacit halo]

i don't think your major has quite a big role to get the acceptance

[harsh sentinel]

i know purdue said they'd release on 1/15 but they released on 1/12 because 1/15 was mlk day

and like 1/12 was a friday and after that weekend was holiday

[white mortar]

AAAA

[carmine pilot]

Ooh interesting

[nova horizon]

!stanford

[harsh sentinel]

No confirmed release date and time

[real herald]

Bros me

Im genuinely scared

[harsh sentinel]

you got this

either way you have good options

[real herald]

Yea but 4 years down to 4 days is insane finality

[white mortar]

real

[forest bloom]

real

[white mortar]

we bag this

dw

[forest bloom]

i’m not ready

[harsh sentinel]

true true but we'll get through this 💪💪

[forest bloom]

how to prepare

for it

[harsh sentinel]

compartmentalize

don't think about it

think happy thoughts

romanticize schools you've already gotten into (and can afford and would be happy to go)

remind yourself of your self worth

do things you enjoy

hope but be realistic

[forest bloom]

thank you

[harsh sentinel]

np

[forest bloom]

i’m gna push it away :)

[harsh sentinel]

it's gonna be tough but we'll all get through it trust

also

read pins in #💪-chad-rejects

and in the other results channels

[forest bloom]

idk i haven’t had more than 2 decisions in a day

and cuz i’m intl i get it during first period

[harsh sentinel]

yeah i get it at 4:30 am 💀

how many decisions do you have on ivy day?

[forest bloom]

8 or 9💀

[storm wolf]

istg i really hope stanford does not release the day before ivy day

[harsh sentinel]

gl😭

[forest bloom]

thank you

[harsh sentinel]

it'll release on ivy day

[storm wolf]

ugh ig that's fine-ish

[forest bloom]

i have 9 or 10 then

[storm wolf]

ig 1h after ivy decisions wouldn't be bad

[real herald]

Its been 101 days since i got in an no fin aid offer

Am i cooked

[harsh sentinel]

💀

did you submit docs

[forest bloom]

did u forget to submit smt 😭

[real herald]

Yes all complete

[harsh sentinel]

Did others get it

[real herald]

💀

[harsh sentinel]

probs just FAFSA delays

[real herald]

Dw i spoke to them lol

[harsh sentinel]

oh okay

what did they say

[real herald]

They sent ppl pre fafsa offer

I didnt get mine

They wanted some other form

[storm wolf]

for some of us, that also involves romanticizing a country we hate

[real herald]

I submitted

Then they ghosted me

[forest bloom]

i have sm schools i haven’t received yet

[real herald]

Then 3 weeks later

Said they need a different form

[harsh sentinel]

💀

[real herald]

And an explanation

[harsh sentinel]

they want you so bad

[real herald]

Then i sent that

[harsh sentinel]

playing hard to get

[real herald]

Now they ghosted me again

💀

[forest bloom]

fin aid is the most painful experience

[harsh sentinel]

fr

[forest bloom]

but also the most financially rewarding

[real herald]

And my fafsa processed too

How tf my sai increase

[harsh sentinel]

today I learned penn had a separate fin aid portal

[real herald]

Wtf

[forest bloom]

youll never make more money on a hourly basis 👍

[harsh sentinel]

damn I'm so jealous

[real herald]

Did u check today

[carmine pilot]

is it ok if u checked u need fin aid but u didn't submit anything

[forest bloom]

i didn’t check since i submitted 💀

[harsh sentinel]

Fafsa? I'll check

When did you submit

[real herald]

Mine processed 3/22

Submitted 1/28

[forest bloom]

[harsh sentinel]

Damn i submitted 1/25
