[harsh sentinel]

So I'll check

[stone mural]

Depending on the college u can submit ur docs even after getting accepted but it’s gonna take long before they give u a decision on how much u getting

[carmine pilot]

ah ok

[real herald]

Wharton/Stanford plz save me

Im actually delusional

[real herald]

U prob got it

[forest bloom]

i know i am (brown wants me)

[harsh sentinel]

i just want stanford

[forest bloom]

does ur fin aid update after fafsa is processed?

[carmine pilot]

whoa i j realized penn shut their portal ar

alr

[harsh sentinel]

i can have 6 rejections and 1 acceptance I would be elated

[harsh sentinel]

even fin aid???

[carmine pilot]

no

[real herald]

No shit

[carmine pilot]

i mean the applicant portal

[hard mirage]

yup cause they’re done w deciding😟😟

[forest bloom]

the end is near

my penn interview was horrible :/

[hard mirage]

penn interview isn’t evaluative anyway!! dw

[forest bloom]

it lasted 15 minutes and he asked two questions 💀

[stone mural]

How much does interviews matter for stanford??

[real herald]

At least u got one

[real herald]

0

They dont gaf

[forest bloom]

ig

i thought stanford was evaluative

[hard mirage]

nah its not

[stone mural]

I got my interview and the mf asked me why stanny and i was like bcuz of weather 💀

[real herald]

I told my stanford interviewer i was interested in public policy/gov and he asked me if i was a congressman what political issue i would work to solve and what steps i would take towards it

Then he asked me to define community

[carmine pilot]

same..

[real herald]

Then he critiqued my definition

[carmine pilot]

smh fr

[real herald]

Then he cooked me

💀

[carmine pilot]

got busted not a stan simp

[stone mural]

Istg stanford interviewers are rude asf

[carmine pilot]

I have to agree

lmao

[real herald]

Nah he was good

Just very direct and a bit more technical

Than anything i was used to

Most of them didnt ask me to define shit

[storm wolf]

my rude interviewer was the harvard interviewer, the stanford one "was so unusually pleasant" (cited directly from my Stanford interviewer)

[carmine pilot]

Mine was also technical

[real herald]

The congressman question threw me off guard

[stone mural]

Mine ghosted me after i sent an email wishing him well for his lil dumbass startup

[storm wolf]

lol my yale interviewer ghosted me too

[forest bloom]

one of mine asked how much a life is valued

[carmine pilot]

No interviewer of mine replied to my "thank you message"

lmao

[real herald]

Actually my majors for stanford are pub pol and environment science and my interviewer is jd ‘26 and is studying environmental law

[carmine pilot]

maybe i suck

[muted sage]

What are they gonna say

[real herald]

So yeah this guy knew everything

[muted sage]

At some point the email has to end

[harsh sentinel]

FAFSA PROCESSED

[carmine pilot]

actually i didn't expect anything back but many ppl here seem to receive a response which makes me kinda puzzled

[harsh sentinel]

MY SAI IS SO BAD PLS😭

[muted sage]

Unless you all had the same interviewer it’s not impactful

[forest bloom]

fuck i forgot to send some

[real herald]

Mine went up 2k but its still rlly good so im happy

[carmine pilot]

for my last interviews idgaf and I didn't even send the message anymore

screw it

[forest bloom]

yeah i’m not getting into princeton anyway

[real herald]

Same

Idc

[stone mural]

My yale interviewer was so nice and replied with wishing me well with the application process and told me to let him know where i end up going

[real herald]

Most dont even reply

[real herald]

Reply with just one word: Harvard.

[carmine pilot]

see this is interviewer with angel behavior

[harsh sentinel]

mine went up 10k😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[real herald]

Someone in the server said theirs went up 30k

💀💀

[carmine pilot]

[storm wolf]

same with Stanford

[real herald]

Student aid index

Replacement for efc

[carmine pilot]

ah

i was about to ask what is the difference with efc

ok

[real herald]

New fafsa

So they replaced

Sai goes to -1500

[harsh sentinel]

bro that's so cool

[real herald]

There were so many technical questions

[carmine pilot]

i got many technical questions too

[real herald]

He was a perfect combination between my 2 majors tho

[stone mural]

Does that mean smrithi has to pay 10k towards tuition??

[carmine pilot]

and i think i flopped

foCk

[real herald]

Increased by 10k

💀💀

[forest bloom]

i don’t want to check now

[real herald]

Just do it bruh and let ur parents know

[forest bloom]

yay the website is unavailable

[storm wolf]

istg i felt like my h interview went so badly like bro started off asking which subjects i was taking and i said my ib subjects but then i told him that i also go to economics HL lessons because i enjoy it.

and he was like

[real herald]

Nah it isnt

[storm wolf]

"why don't you take econ HL instead"

[real herald]

Do it on laptop

It works

[forest bloom]

oh ok

[storm wolf]

and i said that my school does not allow me to

[harsh sentinel]

😭😭😭

[storm wolf]

and he was like "huh? weird? my children were allowed to do so"

like wtf'

[carmine pilot]

u gettin into H man u got this

[harsh sentinel]

but still fun!!!!! i love technical questions sm my interviewer was a cs+econ major

[storm wolf]

[real herald]

Not even /j to be fair

[harsh sentinel]

Colleges dont care too much about the exact number

[storm wolf]

[harsh sentinel]

[real herald]

[harsh sentinel]

i know

[real herald]

Bros legit a normal a2cer with a good personality

[harsh sentinel]

but it made me feel better about myself

it's called coping

[real herald]

He is bound to take some Ws and some Ls

[real herald]

Not really

[harsh sentinel]

[real herald]

[harsh sentinel]

oh we all will

"t10s are too expensive anyways"

[carmine pilot]

does stanford inform ppl when they gon release

[harsh sentinel]

"too competitive"

[carmine pilot]

or they just suddenly pop it out

[real herald]

I cant even use this

💀

My parents r willing to pay

[forest bloom]

that’s a humble brag if i’ve ever heard one

[harsh sentinel]

😭

My dad refused to submit USC fin aid docs once i got into Berkeley

[real herald]

I get nearly full aid at all t10s im not rich

💀

[stone mural]

I was full pay but my country is willing to pay 😔

[forest bloom]

oh lmaoo mb

[harsh sentinel]

He told me north california is cold and i said la is hotter right and he immediately went no it's not that cold

[real herald]

I meant theyre willing to pay more than they actually will have to if i get in lol

[forest bloom]

but what if usc is cheaper

[harsh sentinel]

my dad loves berkeley sm

[harsh sentinel]

it's still in LA

[real herald]

Just go to ucla

[harsh sentinel]

And he likes north cal more

but

my dad isn't happy

[forest bloom]

[harsh sentinel]

[real herald]

Your dad wont spend the next 4 years there

[forest bloom]

ohh idk why i thought u were

[harsh sentinel]

[forest bloom]

i see the ucb and ucla appeal

[real herald]

r u that one mf who posted on the reddit that their dad saved the country from bankruptcy

[harsh sentinel]

I thought I was too ngl

[stone mural]

Wth 💀 no

[harsh sentinel]

Please do not ‼️❌🚫refer to Berkeley 🐻as "UCB." 😱😤This is not the proper way to refer to the University of California's 😢😭original and flagship 🔝1️⃣ campus. Cal, ✔️😁Berkeley🧸✅or UC Berkeley 💯🐻are all proper and acceptable ways to say it. 😄UCB, on the other hand, is not.🚨❌🤬😩 As the system's most prestigious 🥇🏆🎖and respected campus 😌, we feel that it is important to honor 🍱 🇯🇵 and maintain an appropriate level of respect for our university's name. We feel 🧐🤨that "UCB" cheapens😫😭 our brand 🔝1️⃣and doesn't emphasize the incredible prestige🎖🏆associated with Berkeley.🐻 While it may be acceptable 😏to refer to all other UC campuses in initialisms due to their lack❌ ⬇️of recognition and prestige🚫🏆🙁, this is not acceptable for the flagship #️⃣1️⃣and most well-known campus 😌🥇, and we therefore request that you cease😤 using the name "UCB" to refer our school🤓. Thank you.😇 TL:DR Don't say "UCB" when referring to Berkeley.😤😭

[forest bloom]

my nc residency got rejected and i was rejected from unc subsequently

[real herald]

Ur country just mad chill then?

[harsh sentinel]

bro i still don't know if im instate at ucla

[real herald]

Ucb is ass

[harsh sentinel]

i will cry if i romanticized them sm only to be considered oos

[real herald]

If they say no just show them instate ucb

[harsh sentinel]

nah they're goated

[stone mural]

But im saudi and the ministry of education in saudi arabia are willing to give u a full scholarship if u attend top 10-20 schools i think

[forest bloom]

let us hate

[harsh sentinel]

yeah but what if ucb is like oh oops our fault!! * takes back the instate *

[real herald]

Oil money 🗣️🗣️

[harsh sentinel]

BROOOOO that's so coooooolll

[real herald]

What would u do in this case

[forest bloom]

you’re gov can solve poverty overnight

[harsh sentinel]

cry

[real herald]

Would u get instate afrer 1 yeR

[harsh sentinel]

if i don't get instate at ucla i will go to berkeley no arguments

[real herald]

Since ur parents

Live in cami

Cali

[harsh sentinel]

i don't wanna be oos

[harsh sentinel]

maybe but it's a risk im not willing to take

if UCLA doesn't give me instate, go bears🗣️

[real herald]

Lol

[real herald]

R u considerign any ivies

If u get in

[harsh sentinel]

no

[real herald]

Or too expensive

[harsh sentinel]

especially not after that Sai wtf

[real herald]

Youd pay for stanny tho?

[harsh sentinel]

stanny is cheapest out of all the NPCs i ran

and yeah parents would pay slightly more for stanny

[stone mural]

Uno i thought u were arab for a sec and i was tryna work out where the al gaib tribe is from only to realise u a dune mf 💀

[harsh sentinel]

within reason but im optimistic that if i get in ill get good aid

[forest bloom]

i wanna be suprised

[harsh sentinel]

why

stanford fin aid goated

[forest bloom]

lol my vpn died when i tried to do npcs so i gave up

[harsh sentinel]

same with uchicago but oh well

😭😭😭😭

i do the npc every day

[forest bloom]

i did usc and it was so off

[harsh sentinel]

different values

all possible scenarios

[harsh sentinel]

nah mine was so accurate

[real herald]

How much

[harsh sentinel]

0$ aid 🗣️

[harsh sentinel]

$50k/y

cali instate is $45

[real herald]

Ah hell nah

I feel bad for cali instate mfs

[harsh sentinel]

i mean

[real herald]

Ppl there probably cant afford UCs

💀

[harsh sentinel]

cali jobs give a lot of money

and UCs have a shit ton of aid for instate

If you're under $80k family income it's free i think

[real herald]

Actually?

[forest bloom]

and zero for oos

[real herald]

Oh that’s good

[harsh sentinel]

tbf they are a public university

[forest bloom]

just google any ucs price

[harsh sentinel]

Yeah i got a brochure with fin aid for instate kids

[forest bloom]

yeah but oos is rly expensive

[harsh sentinel]

Plus they have a lot of tie-ups with local schools

[forest bloom]

and compare instate and out of state

[harsh sentinel]

And separate scholarships for some schools and stuff

so they're affordable for low income instate lids

[real herald]

Ok so ur down to stanford la and berk

[harsh sentinel]

middle class is iffy ofc but eh

yeah

hence cali' 28

[real herald]

What if u get columbia

[forest bloom]

that’s pretty good

[real herald]

Or brown

Ivies have good aid

[harsh sentinel]

won't give aid 100%

not cheaper than instate

[forest bloom]

i only t15s for smrithi

[harsh sentinel]

(according to npc)

[forest bloom]

please brown

[real herald]

Well obviously

[forest bloom]

i want you so bad

[harsh sentinel]

i don't see a reason to pay extra for an East coast University when I'm pre law

[real herald]

But the quality prestige and smaller class sizes of those schools id be willing to pay more

Not a lot more

[harsh sentinel]

I wanna save up for law school

[real herald]

But still some more

[harsh sentinel]

law school is $100k/y💀

More even

[real herald]

Lmao

[harsh sentinel]

Stanford is 112 i think

so im trying to save wherever i can

[real herald]

Fair

[harsh sentinel]

this is my reasoning for stanford

[forest bloom]

i’ll see u a2lawschool in 4 years

[harsh sentinel]

but i really can't do cold weather

and i wanna be close to family

[real herald]

Fair

[harsh sentinel]

so im willing to sacrifice the private school experience for that

[real herald]

Did u decline ur spot at ur other 16 A

[harsh sentinel]

3 if im lucky

[forest bloom]

cold weather is nice (i love rhode island weather ahem brown)

[harsh sentinel]

no bcuz i wanna see if they give me scholarships

[forest bloom]

lowkey i might be able skip a year w my aps

[harsh sentinel]

im at $850k total scholarships received and i wanna push it to a million

[harsh sentinel]

fr same

[forest bloom]

ap calc 🤞

[harsh sentinel]

Indian winters have me chilling 💀

[real herald]

Why would they give u a random scholarship

In late march

[forest bloom]

how many skls did u apply too?

[harsh sentinel]

uiuc uw-m give scholarships after rd

[real herald]

Did u withdraw ur other UCs i mean

[harsh sentinel]

im not withdrawing till i commit

[real herald]

Oh ok

[harsh sentinel]

[real herald]

Will u commit march 28

[harsh sentinel]

Purdue is still hella cheap

[forest bloom]

i’m gna withdraw ucs soon

[harsh sentinel]

[real herald]

Wait nvm ur still deciding between la and berk

[forest bloom]

i can’t afford them anyway

[harsh sentinel]

i get to know UCLA regents on April 2nd

if i get regents auto commit to UCLA

if i don't then i might tour la/berk

[real herald]

Even w stanford?

[forest bloom]

i mean the price is hard to beat

[harsh sentinel]

I'll probs commit by April 15

[real herald]

Stanford = UC Palo Alto

[harsh sentinel]

Oh no im assuming I'm not getting in to stanford lol

[forest bloom]

i’m pretty sure i’m getting rejected from stanford

like 99% sure

[harsh sentinel]

im only 70% sure!

im very confident about myself after my results so far

and stanford had my best essays

and my only interview (which i ate)

[forest bloom]

usc had my best💀

that i wrote in a hour

[harsh sentinel]

i mean hey it worked?

[forest bloom]

i didn’t get one hence the 99%

[forest bloom]

yeah lmao

[harsh sentinel]

eh stanford interviews don't mean shit

[forest bloom]

wait so what schools do

[real herald]

Tbh

None

💀

[forest bloom]

harvard does right

[real herald]

Interviews are basically useless

[forest bloom]

and yale iirc

[real herald]

If u get an AO interview then yea

Regular alumni interviews dont mean much

[forest bloom]

i didn’t apply so i wouldn’t know

[harsh sentinel]

Harvard Yale duke pre screen for intls right

[forest bloom]

[real herald]

I think so

Not sure

[harsh sentinel]

My friend got 2 Harvard interviews lol

[real herald]

Thats a good sign

[harsh sentinel]

yeah it'll be cool if he gets in

[forest bloom]

my best of luck

[real herald]

[harsh sentinel]

umich UCLA Harvard

But im sure the auto admit group is tiny

[real herald]

Nah im saying

[forest bloom]

like 1% right

[harsh sentinel]

[real herald]

No interview doesn’t mean autoreject

[harsh sentinel]

[forest bloom]

[carmine pilot]

[harsh sentinel]

oh

[wary basin]

What matters more for Stanny ? ESSAYS or ECs ?

[real herald]

Both

[harsh sentinel]

both

[forest bloom]

everything

[real herald]

Holistic admissions

[forest bloom]

it’s hypsm

[real herald]

You cant have weak points

Nothing will make up for anything

[harsh sentinel]

but what doesn't matter are interviews and grades (obviously they matter but if you have like mostly As then it doesn't matter if you have a 3.92 or a 3.96)

[real herald]

You gotta be good overall

[forest bloom]

my 3.96 rounded to a 4.0 :)

[wary basin]

How many ECs(out of 10) should be related to selected 3 majors ?

[harsh sentinel]

my average is 93.2/100 and 93+ is 4.0 lol

[harsh sentinel]

that's not how it works

[wary basin]

How it works then? Kindly tell

[harsh sentinel]

there's a youtuber who got into stanford and her main ec was running a Dwight Schrute fan page (the guy from office)

[stone mural]

Wait I didn’t even choose a major🧍‍♀️all the 3 of my courses are minors 🧍‍♀️🔫

[harsh sentinel]

you need ecs you've invested time into and that you're genuinely interested in (said interest demonstrated through essays)

impact leadership passion

[forest bloom]

yeah fuck my research dwight>>

[harsh sentinel]

girl what

fr

she had 27k followers

on that fan page

[forest bloom]

ok yeah

[harsh sentinel]

my poor measly 4k followers account

[stone mural]

They asked courses interests me and I picked like human rights and stuff but they are a minor

[harsh sentinel]

what's your major

[forest bloom]

i don’t think that’ll be the reason for a rejection

[stone mural]

Im hoping it’s not

Cuz they gave me an option to only choose minors

[forest bloom]

but then again idk

[harsh sentinel]

ah

[forest bloom]

im just sm guy on discord

[harsh sentinel]

aren't we all

[forest bloom]

fr

[wary basin]

Are there specific quotas for each country? (as they want diversity)

[forest bloom]

kinda ur selected out of ur regions pool

for intls

[carmine pilot]

what is the admitted student package like if i may ask

[harsh sentinel]

there's no such thing as a diversity admit😭

[forest bloom]

there is when i’m coping w rejection

[harsh sentinel]

https://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/diversity-or-merit/

[harsh sentinel]

it feels condescending to others when you think of the idea of "diversity" admits because im sure a lot of people who get in are already dealing w imposter syndrome and hearing people talk about "diversity" admits on top of that makes them think they aren't qualified enough to have gotten in

[forest bloom]

yeah yeah i realized after i sent it

[storm wolf]

MIT does have a quota for each region, yes

for Europe it's 20 students per year

[forest bloom]

20??

[harsh sentinel]

where does it say that

[stone mural]

I didn’t apply rea 😭😭 i applied rd so im still waiting to hear back but i meant for when they ask to list ur academic interests that u would like to pursue at Stanford, all 3 of my academic interests are a minor

[carmine pilot]

i mean for H

[stone mural]

Ohh

[storm wolf]

my consultant asked the former director of selection and she said there's not a hard quota (as in, they may break it slightly, but they aim for that number), which is also what you see on the ISO website https://iso.mit.edu/about-iso/statistics/

[wary basin]

If I get rejected this time, and apply again to Stanny in upcoming fall in REA with better ECs and Essays/supplements (as an intl student). Will my chances be increased OR I would say any chance of getting accepted then?

[carmine pilot]

um actually i did that last year i applied REA last year and now Im applying RD

so i can be ur test bunny

lmao

[harsh sentinel]

it could increase yeah but there's no way of telling + it might not be a sufficient increase because they look for depth in ecs and there's only so much you can do in a year

[stone mural]

I was tryna find u a pic but i cant find it, but is basically like a certificate with ur name and some stickers and a tshirt that says class of 2028

[carmine pilot]

t shirt too

ok they p generous

[harsh sentinel]

A TSHIRT

OMG

I WANNA GET INTO AN IVY

[stone mural]

I used to rlly like stanford’s package

But this yr

[carmine pilot]

i think not all ivy merch is equal lol

[stone mural]

Is so ugly

[carmine pilot]

penn is only stickers and shit no?

[wary basin]

Could you kindly tell me, what kind and how much depth of an extra curricular?

[forest bloom]

i only see harvard yale and columbia

[carmine pilot]

not even princeton

ok

[forest bloom]

oh yeah a bit but not as much

i’ve never seen brown merch

[carmine pilot]

last year

brown gave a cap..

ok that's so fckin generous why didnt i apply

and a fanny pack?!

and a bracelet

[harsh sentinel]

What is it

[carmine pilot]

socks

[harsh sentinel]

Again there's no way of quantifying that lol

[soft ocean]

What does stanford give in their packages

[stone mural]

It’s so basic, at the front it says harvard 2028 and the back says coop harvard

[storm wolf]

that is indeed cap!

[stone mural]

IT’S SO UGLY THIS YR, THEY USED TO GIVE SM

[harsh sentinel]

STILL

[real herald]

Better than this

This was the entire thing

1 sticker

[stone mural]

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGe5fgYCF/

[wary basin]

Is it possible to graduate from Stanford in 2 years rather than 4 ? Also is it possible to declare your major in freshman ?

[carmine pilot]

3 years still ok but 2

unheard of

[harsh sentinel]

uc's on top

[forest bloom]

kinda looks like a bathmat

[harsh sentinel]

Berkeley sent me stickers brochures embossed admissions letter posters a flag and stuff

[carmine pilot]

berkeley L they sent me nun

[harsh sentinel]

usc sent me a big ass poster and a certificate

[harsh sentinel]

🫂

[forest bloom]

what abt ucla?

[harsh sentinel]

idk

i put my dad's address for all my packages

[forest bloom]

i’m living vicariously through yall cuz i don’t receive anythijg

[harsh sentinel]

he lives in cali

and he brings it when he comes here

last time he came was Feb

so he brought Berkeley

but UCLA would've just come

[forest bloom]

it’s a surprise

[harsh sentinel]

[forest bloom]

[harsh sentinel]

ah same

except cali residency 🤑

[forest bloom]

😭nc rejection

i’m supporting duke now

unc is gna lose

[carmine pilot]

im supporting Yale

lmao

underdog story

[kindred oyster]

what to type for the timer???

[forest bloom]

if yale rejects me they’re gna lose

[stone mural]

We aint got one yet as stanny hasn’t confirmed anything

[kindred oyster]

7 pm

[forest bloom]

they’re too cool to confirm anything

[kindred oyster]

no

[quasi relic]

guys how big of a factor is aid for internationals

[carmine pilot]

for stanny

big AF my guy

[quasi relic]

i mean is it though

like i doubt there is any more than a tiny boost for not needing aid

[carmine pilot]

yes there isn't anything more than a tiny boost

but if u need aid

you're kinda fucked

[quasi relic]

but that would imply there is a big boost since its all relative, if aid needers are screwed majorly, relative to them you have a big boost

[real herald]

Nah look at this shit

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLjTvHTy/

[carmine pilot]

lmao

[carmine pilot]

well

just a stat from my country: no one has ever gotten in needing aid

soo

[quasi relic]

what % of intl applicants do you think ask for aid

[carmine pilot]

dude idk

i dont have enough data

wont ever have it too

[quasi relic]

cause i am curious since i dindt apply for aid but now that i think about it, i think prolly 80% of people dont apply for aid

[carmine pilot]

i apply for aid

so im fooooocked

[quasi relic]

nah you still have a chance

[carmine pilot]

naw dawg

[quasi relic]

dw its not over till its over

[carmine pilot]

its basically almost over

the judgment day is just the icing on the cake

[quasi relic]

btw your country

what continent is it in

[carmine pilot]

asia

[quasi relic]

small population?

[carmine pilot]

big ass population

but we're an URM in top colleges

[quasi relic]

pak/bgd?

[carmine pilot]

southeast asia

nah

in regular US unis there lots of us

but for hypsm

kinda rare

[storm wolf]

don't worry, there's gonna be an exception!

[carmine pilot]

lmao

bro

[storm wolf]

happy Dibbles!

[carmine pilot]

i'll be happy Dibbles if I get in

if not imma tap out of the server lol

[quasi relic]

idk for me if i am URM or not cause i live in a small European country since middle school and did my middle school and high school here but I am originally an Indian citizen

so idk what matters more, where i did my HS and where i live vs what my passport is

[harsh sentinel]

lots more people to learn from!!!!! i 🫶 people

[carmine pilot]

im always confused abt these type of applicants too

[harsh sentinel]

also guys dont try to like guess people's countries if they're not comfortable sharing

[quasi relic]

oh yeah sorry i prolly shouldnt have done that

okk

[carmine pilot]

tanks

[harsh sentinel]

[carmine pilot]

[real herald]

LA isnt that bad lmao

Im clearly trolling

[sturdy cloud]

I won’t be homeless

[real herald]

But ive heard lots of ucla grads struggle getting jobs

[harsh sentinel]

[real herald]

Like berk is the better for placements

[sturdy cloud]

I’ll be $1,000,000 in debt after getting a 300 sqft apartment

[real herald]

[harsh sentinel]

top academics top fun

[real herald]

Just watch yt videos

[harsh sentinel]

[real herald]

But even those wont help

[harsh sentinel]

i am doing that yeah

[real herald]

All are over glamorized

[harsh sentinel]

itll come down to mood for me

[real herald]

And the ppl who post videos are usually the ppl who dont take academics seriously

Lmao

They study a total of 0 minutes during finals season

So completely unrealistic

[sturdy cloud]

These classes are impossible 😠

[harsh sentinel]

i saw a video of how long uc berkeley students sleep

average is like 2 hours

bruh

[real herald]

Thats fr me bro everyday i alternate where i wanna go

[harsh sentinel]

i value my sleep tyvm

[harsh sentinel]

[sturdy cloud]

That can’t be right…….

[real herald]

Exactly

Not even close to similar

Pub vs priv

Instate vs oos

Honors vs not

[harsh sentinel]

do you wanna go oos or stay in cowboy land

[real herald]

Huge school vs small

[harsh sentinel]

t20 vs t30? t40?

[real herald]

Elitist vs chill

Dc vs tx

[harsh sentinel]

[jolly leaf]

Ahh but u have waitlists tho

[spring mist]

yeah but everyone was waitlisted at CMU and NEU

[jolly leaf]

I just have straight rejections, my only hope is that I applied to 4 UCS with terrible essays (all of them were reached for cs) so maybe I can slide through with my better essays and Ec revisions this next round

[jolly leaf]

I was straight up rejected ED2 CMU cs and Brown ED1 cs

[spring mist]

damn.

Vanderbilt is the only one I feel ok with my essays on

[jolly leaf]

and I’d say my CMU essays were pretty good even reading through them again

[spring mist]

[jolly leaf]

I felt good about Stanford UPenn and vandy

I ain’t getting into nothing thou

[spring mist]

praying vandy since I have a cousin there now

[loud wren]

[spring mist]

praying Stanford because my ecs are god tier

[loud wren]

i have a few friends who applied

[spring mist]

nuh uh

[jolly leaf]

a day before the ivies I believe

but who knows

[spring mist]

praying harvard because it's harvard

[jolly leaf]

LMAO I didn’t even get the interview for Harvard

[spring mist]

SAME

I didn't get interviews anywhere but mit

[jolly leaf]

I only had Stanford Princeton Dartmouth and UPenn

Literally all the availability based schools 😭

[spring mist]

see nobody from my area is from stanford

so no interview

[jolly leaf]

idk why but Stanford seems to be fine with my school, 2 admits within this year and last year

I’m in the middle of nowhere Colorado

[spring mist]

2 admits from here within the past 15 years

both for sports

[jolly leaf]

Man that’s rough

[spring mist]

IM FROM SCRANTON

ITS ALWAYS ROUGH HERE

[jolly leaf]

My school never had a Dartmouth Harvard or Princeton admit if it makes u feel better

[spring mist]

[spring mist]

[dusky pumice]

[spring mist]

?????

what

[dusky pumice]

i'm getting into stanford

i'm calling it now

[spring mist]

I blame my gpa if I get denied

everything else is there

except maybe sat but cmon im going for stem and its the reading section that killed me

[vale plinth]

same LMAO

[spring mist]

like does 700 English really matter

like worry about my extracurriculars

I'M THE AI SPONGE GUY

worry about that not the boring stuff like every other college

[vale plinth]

kinda

you got 800 math?

[spring mist]

almost

unfortunately

[vale plinth]

you got 790?

[spring mist]

I also have an extenuating circumstance that forever resulted in lower reading

[spring mist]

yeah

[vale plinth]

same brother same

but i got superscore of 1530

[spring mist]

like I had a 39 grammar

undiagnosed autism forever tainted my reading ability and therefore my gpa and sat

whatever my extracurriculars and essays show that I do have the drive and ability for insanity

insanity inna different sense of insane

im not insane

completely

high calculus grades should help too

98 in BC🔥

[sturdy cloud]

I might be cooked lol

I scored higher on the reading section 😭

[trail dock]

have we found out their decision date yet

[old pike]

Nope

[gloomy garden]

kinda weird cuz in 2022 they announced the decision date on march 26

the decision date was April 1st

[carmine pilot]

what

[gloomy garden]

yeah but ivy day was march 31 back then tho

what I meant to say is that they announced the date many days before

now it’s only 3 days left

[carmine pilot]

Oh

How about in 2023?

[old pike]

Stanford came out on 7th April a few years ago iirc
Edit - in 2021, but ivyday that year was 6th April

[vital kestrel]

so could be the 29th ?

[old pike]

It could, just that 29th is a holiday (Good Friday)

[vital kestrel]

makes sense

[gloomy garden]

has anyone bothered to call or email

[spring veldt]

No but you can do it

I remember people called during REA and they told them the date

[loud wren]

it's 7am there right now though

so i don't think anyone will pick up rn

[carmine pilot]

Wait 3 more hrs

[tacit halo]

it is definitely not coming before 28th

[quasi relic]

anyone calling?

[patent plinth]

someone call 🙏

[gloomy garden]

yeah exactly that’s why I asked

[lost pier]

can soemene call 🙏

[harsh sentinel]

bystander effect
