[white mortar]

🥹

[white mortar]

i'd be one of the #asian #06 #boba #bayarea mfs i fear 😔

[sage shoal]

LMAO ME

[white mortar]

but i'd love to be around other asians tbh 😭

even if it made me a lil more stereotypical

i am legitimately like maybe one of four korean people at my school of like 2100

😭

[sage shoal]

[simple vigil]

idk where they got that figure

[white mortar]

[dim badge]

Probably not

[white mortar]

🙏🏼

[dim badge]

if it is im cooked

[white mortar]

[trail dock]

[spring veldt]

they’re closed td

[trail dock]

no way

smh

[elfin coral]

real asf

[real herald]

Did anyone call stanford

[white mortar]

I did

Not open today

[sage shoal]

❌

[slate cloud]

Oh really? Dang that's new

They're going for a surprise this year

Actually I don't think they official publish the date for REA decision for me

[white mortar]

i will call tmrw 🙏🏼 and ask

[slate cloud]

I had to look for last year and the decision was out the exact same time as last year

So my guess is RD is the same

[sage shoal]

speculating fridya tho

at 6pm cst

[slate cloud]

Yeah it's prob right

[loud wren]

the only thing is people think stanford will push it to thursday because of good friday

[slate cloud]

Hmmm that makes sense might be a possibility

[hard mirage]

why wouldn’t they just push it to the day after😭😭

[loud wren]

saturday?

it's easter weekend lol

[hard mirage]

ohhh i didnt know that

[elfin coral]

or april first

[loud wren]

easter monday

[elfin coral]

oh

[loud wren]

lmaoo

i dont celebrate easter

idk if easter monday is a real thing in the usa

but i'd assume they'd avoid all holidays period

[elfin coral]

"Although Easter Monday is not a public holiday, businesses and schools may be closed because it falls on the same date as César Chávez Day in 2024, which is a public holiday in California."

[hard mirage]

i was really hoping to get a buffer inbetween ivyday and stanny

[elfin coral]

hmm

maybe it will be march 28

damn

march28 will be crazy

[hard mirage]

^^

[loud wren]

i imagine they'll say sm tomorrow?

or if someone has the guts to call

[elfin coral]

4 years or well 12 years into 1 day

[loud wren]

ik that was a topic of conversation today

[void lion]

ping me if someone calls please

[elfin coral]

part of christian easter

💀

[elfin prawn]

schools in the us get off for good friday

same with the first day of ramadan

they can’t be federal holidays bc they’re related to religion pretty sure but majority of schools recognize it

and i meant end of ramadan*

guess it’s a state thing

[velvet prawn]

.

[white mortar]

i got u

tmrw after school i'll call em

someone remind me ?

[sturdy cloud]

i wish my school went off for eid bruh

[latent glade]

no me too, living in a muslim country was the best bro

and it's like how can u give a day off for a christian holiday and not us

like wtf islamaphobic fr

wtv happened to church and state

i always wanted general religious days that ppl can use for wtv they like

[trail dock]

lmao theyve cleverly avoided calling it anything religious

spring break, winter break, etc

[elfin coral]

yeah lol

just that majority of americans are christian

those breaks had to be added but in a constitutional way

[sturdy cloud]

😔

[vale plinth]

that aint mean

what you think it means

[vale plinth]

society

muslims dont celebrate christmas

[night frost]

my school is crazy

[vale plinth]

christians dont celebrate ramadan

it is what it is

[night frost]

we get some christian and jewish holidays and just sprinkle in other random holidays in there too

[vale plinth]

lol

most holiday stuff should be on the state level

since having ramadan in a state with 0 muslims makes no sense

[night frost]

like i swear we get a day off for a hindu and muslim holiday too????? (i got to a private chrsitian school btw)

[vale plinth]

but it does in a state with a lot

[vale plinth]

lol

[sturdy cloud]

the only state that would get a ramadan break is texas bro 😭

[vale plinth]

wait

which jewish holiday

[vale plinth]

💀

[night frost]

multiple. can't remember all of them but def at least rosh hashanah and yom kippur

[vale plinth]

pretty sure those days are also christian days

for festing

[night frost]

they are?

[vale plinth]

most jewish stuff is just christian stuff

[night frost]

true

[vale plinth]

the difference is that they put a whole lot of emphasis

on them

since thats their identity

for christians you aren't rembering the feast day for Saint Thomas

[night frost]

my christian school fyi is very secular

like our chapel is us talking about coming out week

or like

the russo-ukrainian war

[vale plinth]

aint that secular

[vale plinth]

aint that secular

[night frost]

yup

[vale plinth]

you got a bad view on what secular and religious is

[night frost]

we're really only christian in founding

[night frost]

wdym?

[vale plinth]

coming out week isn't secular

just a thing

[night frost]

i thought secular was anything that wasn't religious?

am i wrong?

[vale plinth]

yes

you right

im talking about in the way

people think secular means

many people miseuse the term

same thing for church and state

[night frost]

i'm confused now

[vale plinth]

theology is confusing

gotta love it

[latent glade]

i live in texas dude

[vale plinth]

yea but uh

dont understand bruv

why you think church n state is related to that

it does not mean what you think it means

[night frost]

what even is this conversation

[vale plinth]

confusing

[latent glade]

HAHA

[vale plinth]

theology goes hard

[latent glade]

I j feel if ur gonna give a holiday for one relifious observance u should give it for all

thats all

[night frost]

idt this is even theology atp 😭

[vale plinth]

tell society that

it is in our hands to such a thing

[latent glade]

hindu jew muslim christian wtv, i should not be getting an "excused absence" -- holiday.

[sturdy cloud]

https://tenor.com/view/chocolate-chocolate-chocolate-chocolate-chocolate-chip-eat-some-eat-some-chocolate-chocolate-chip-gif-23651018

[vale plinth]

i mean its mainly due to societal relevance

most americans aren't gonna care about hindu holidays

and vice versa

[latent glade]

yea i'll change it when i become prez 😤

[vale plinth]

bro thinks the prez can do stuff

[latent glade]

texas is basically a theocracy anyway

[vale plinth]

no? lol

having common values doesn't mean the church is involved

[latent glade]

ykw nvm im not having a political discussion

i take it back

[vale plinth]

complexities are funny

ignoring the brillance of human diversity truly is the vain to our existence

[latent glade]

mhmm

[vale plinth]

should read up on it bud

you seem ignorant to it which is fine

this stuff is way too stupid for anyone normal to understand

im calling myself wierd not better

this is promotion of knowledge

you know the thing universities should be

[scenic saffron]

Thank you for your email. Students who applied during Regular Decision and students who were deferred in Restrictive Early Action will receive their admission decision through the Stanford portal by early April. The specific time and date will be posted on our Admission website closer to the decision release.

[compact pulsar]

So maybe not 3/29

[loud wren]

it still could be

that’s a pretty typical response if they just aren’t ready to share the release date yet

i’d still assume friday

maybe thursday

[compact pulsar]

lol that’s why I said maybe

The only weird phrasing is

When it gets closer to the date

How close?

Idk lol

I’m feeling Friday tho

[shy hinge]

Early April?😭

[gloomy garden]

like either they release on 28/29 or April 1st cuz they don’t release on Good Friday or in the weekend

[quasi relic]

did anybody call today

since they are open today

i think they open in 19 mins

[dim badge]

3.8 is good enough for pretty much any t20 school

[dim badge]

are you sure they dont release good friday? where did you hear that from

[gloomy garden]

no just saying it’s either one of those days

not sure if they don’t release on Good Friday

but if they don’t release then it’s def April 1st

[dim badge]

oh i get what u mean now i just read it weirdly

[gloomy garden]

yeah I wrote it weird tho

[gloomy garden]

no but @white mortar was going to after school

[dim badge]

they said something like really late during rea and released like on the 15th iirc

its just a generalized response

they'll probably release sooner

[obsidian jacinth]

can we all just assume its 3/29 for stanford

[chrome wave]

yurr

[dim badge]

i wouldn't

[obsidian jacinth]

y not?

i thought we knew that stanford comes out the day after ivies or sumn

[dim badge]

thats not really a "written rule" tbh

[obsidian jacinth]

oh

[dim badge]

i'd say its better to assume their by deadline until they give a decision date

otherwise you might end up disappointed

[obsidian jacinth]

do they usually send an email telling us when they release

or do we get surprised

[obsidian jacinth]

ic

[dim badge]

no but like

things on the website will change

if that makes sense

[obsidian jacinth]

oh

ok

[dim badge]

we'll know soon i'd guess

[obsidian jacinth]

yeah

[dim badge]

ik there were some rumors of it coming out earlier in rea and some people got very disappointed

[harsh sentinel]

yeah but people are speculating it could come out ivy day this year since day after is a holiday

[harsh sentinel]

👺👺👺

let us cope by manifesting it sooner

if everyone in a2c believes it will come out this week it will

trust🙏

[obsidian jacinth]

im chill w that ngl lol cuz then ill get all my decisions finished this week

[gloomy garden]

it’s just rather unusual to not give any notification lol

[dim badge]

thats why duke is thursday right

[dim badge]

yeah thats just what stanford does

[harsh sentinel]

duke is confirmed Thursday

[obsidian jacinth]

i didn't even know this friday was a holiday

wtf is good friday

[dim badge]

yeah i saw

[gloomy garden]

they gave a notification in 2022 tho

[dim badge]

you get a notif when ur decisions come out but like

i dont think they gave a decision date email

[gloomy garden]

they posted it on socials

[dim badge]

is there one for 2023 tho?

[gloomy garden]

not on their twitter anyhow

[dim badge]

we found out last time in rea by asking the chatbot lmao

and then they put it on their website shortly after

but i dont think they posted anout it

[meager marsh]

@obsidian jacinth bro on a2c discord

[gloomy garden]

for 2022 they made 3 posts with a countdown on insta

[obsidian jacinth]

im coping bro

[meager marsh]

lmao

[dim badge]

yeah idk maybe they stopped doing it?

[obsidian jacinth]

not yet

cuz idk how to do it

💀

[meager marsh]

ah rip

[obsidian jacinth]

even if i get berkeley im not gonna go

berkeley premed is 🤢

[meager marsh]

yeah

ucla premed terrible too

[obsidian jacinth]

id rather go one of my safety privates and go to a good med school

[obsidian jacinth]

yeah

[meager marsh]

but my mentality is like if i really want to be a doctor i can do it no matter what

[obsidian jacinth]

thats true

but like your professor isn't gonna know who you are 😭

[gloomy garden]

I can’t find any post in 2021

Seems rather inconsistent

[meager marsh]

i heard from my sister the upper division classes shrink in class size a lot

[obsidian jacinth]

getting a lor for med school is gonna be so hard for UCLA and berkeley

[obsidian jacinth]

thats true ngl cuz most ppl give up

[meager marsh]

yea

[obsidian jacinth]

its gonna be hard to stay focused at UCLA tho

[gloomy garden]

like how do you have almost as many administrators as students but can’t give a date lmao

[obsidian jacinth]

theres so much good stuff around

[obsidian jacinth]

ikr

theyre trolling us

[meager marsh]

that’s why i choose la over berkeley icl

[obsidian jacinth]

same

[meager marsh]

campus environment can’t be beat

[obsidian jacinth]

berkeley is just la but more depressed

and even harder for premed

as of now im going to case western unless i get something better this week lol

[meager marsh]

good school

they gave u good aid?

[obsidian jacinth]

yeah

a LOT

💀

[meager marsh]

nice

[obsidian jacinth]

its p good for premed

but if i end up giving up premed im screwed lmao

[meager marsh]

heard of such

[obsidian jacinth]

they have lots of resources cuz they have a med school but like every other major is just mid asf there

[meager marsh]

i thought their stem was good idk

[obsidian jacinth]

i think its like "ok"

not the best obv

my strat rn is just going there for free gpa + resources then go to a good med school

[meager marsh]

ic

[obsidian jacinth]

yeye

[meager marsh]

ucla does some grade inflation i heard bc premed but still obviously competitive

also apparently getting research positions is not as bad as u would think

[obsidian jacinth]

yeah

[obsidian jacinth]

o i didn't know that

i assumed research and ECs at UCLA would be insanely hard

[meager marsh]

they have a biomed research minor so yea

[obsidian jacinth]

mmm ic

[stone mural]

The way they are so active on their insta 😭😭 asking what’s our plan for spring break

[harsh sentinel]

oh this is a very valid concern

im also choosing between ucla and berk but prelaw

[dull totem]

do we have a confirmed date?

i've read on other sources that it's the 29th at 4-5 pm pt

[dim badge]

No

[quasi relic]

we'll know once someone calls today

[patent plinth]

anyone calling?

[shy hinge]

Yes someone said they would yesterday

[hard mirage]

@white mortar u tryna call them for us😩🙏

[obsidian jacinth]

ye

[sage shoal]

Wait guys

I just called

And they just said they didn't decide on a time yet 💀💀

[slate cloud]

Bruh wtf fr???

Oh yeah Stanford's been slow lately

Like I emailed them about Admit Weekend Thursday last week and they just replied back to me today

[tacit halo]

did they decide the date though?

[tacit halo]

what did they say?

ohh nvm, you're already admitted

[sturdy cloud]

LOL

Truly a hypsm moment

[slate cloud]

Oh I asked them about Admit Weekend not decision date lol

[obsidian jacinth]

bruh

goofy moment

[sage shoal]

No 😭😭

[harsh sentinel]

either they're procrastinating real bad or they'er being very hush hush this year

watch as they drop 1 minute before the ivies to one-up them

or one minute after to steal their thunder

[sage shoal]

bro they prob have it decided already

😒

[white mortar]

Otw home

[pliant trellis]

i will get in fjfjd

ahh

why i slife so stressful

[slate cloud]

True ain't no way they really haven't decided yet. They just wanted to dodged the question. I think they just didn't wanna say anything before official confirmation

[sage shoal]

yeah that's what i thought 😭

they rlly making us wait 😒

[slate cloud]

I remember that this year, the official confirmation for my REA round is REALLY close to the release date. I think they gave out official confirmation like hours before the release date

[slate cloud]

They're playing hard to get

[sage shoal]

the most accurate description there is

[gloomy garden]

Jesus Christ

[white mortar]

oh wait did u call

do u want me to ask still

[sage shoal]

yeah 😭

you def can

[white mortar]

ok 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[loud wren]

[sage shoal]

[loud wren]

someone built up the courage to call??!

[harsh sentinel]

REAL

[sage shoal]

i didnt disclose who i was so i had nothing to lose 😆

[harsh sentinel]

its the princeton rea admit bcuz they know even if stanford rescinds them they'll be okay

[pliant trellis]

bro u got into ucla and berk brooo its not stressful for u T_T rn my options are CT or VT buddy T_T

[loud wren]

and they just told you "by Apr 1," yeah?

but reagrdless why would they rescind from this?????

[harsh sentinel]

im joking lol

[pliant trellis]

love ur energy tho T_T can i be u fr

[harsh sentinel]

they def aren't rescinding over a small call

[loud wren]

hahaha

[loud wren]

def no

[sage shoal]

they just said we havent decided yet and to keep an eye on admissions page and email

[harsh sentinel]

[harsh sentinel]

i feel like i might though 😭

[harsh sentinel]

ill be the rich (wo)man fr

[pliant trellis]

wait i assuemd ur sexuality i am so sorry

[pliant trellis]

FACTS

berekley has a better start up culture imo

[loud wren]

flip a coin. heads is UCLA and tails is Cal. if it is tails and you find yourself wanting to flip the coin again, go to ucla!!

[pliant trellis]

and cheaper than LA

[harsh sentinel]

im doing journalism lol

[sage shoal]

if u want good dining hall food ucla fs 😋

[harsh sentinel]

berkeley better academics ucla better everything else

[pliant trellis]

berkeley

liteally

[gloomy garden]

how is the food at Stanford btw

[pliant trellis]

so many if my writing inspos went there

[sage shoal]

wait berkeley has god food?

[pliant trellis]

hotter people at ucla! better parties too.. just so much more expensive

[slate cloud]

Best food

[pliant trellis]

yeah

[harsh sentinel]

good logic

[harsh sentinel]

im instate btw so ucla is cheaper

[white mortar]

I think they're closed for lunch rn 💔

[pliant trellis]

ucla has the best dining hall i think

[gloomy garden]

I only trust this cause ur a poc

[pliant trellis]

but wouldnt it be the same price as berekly??

[sage shoal]

yesss

[pliant trellis]

i actually agree with him i had breakfast there and they had this bomb chia seed pudding with berries and i was in loveee

[slate cloud]

No lmao you shouldn't trust me I'm just here spreading propaganda about Stanford so you guys would come Trying to get you guys come

[sage shoal]

chia pudding man

fancy breakfast

[pliant trellis]

god to get into cornell columbia stanford or georgetown would be a dream

[harsh sentinel]

also if everyone at ucla is hot ill just fit in but ill stand out at berkeley because everyone is ugly 🤩

[gloomy garden]

im a Moroccan my standards are high

[pliant trellis]

i know!!

[pliant trellis]

HAHA

[slate cloud]

Oh really I never try to food there I'm so excited for Admit Weekend

[pliant trellis]

tangines >

[loud wren]

love that

[pliant trellis]

salam

[harsh sentinel]

oh yeah it's not a significant difference to be considered a factor but yeah

[pliant trellis]

oooo

[sage shoal]

i will never get over ucla's campus tho

[harsh sentinel]

i said that to a friend and he was like how ugly do you need to be to stand out at Berkeley 💀

[pliant trellis]

idk if stanny has a middle eastern dining hall but i know there is a full asian dining hall

[harsh sentinel]

mf you know what i meant

[harsh sentinel]

REAL😭

[sage shoal]

the most beautiful campus imo

[harsh sentinel]

my mom says academics>> everything else

and like valid

[sage shoal]

and it was perfect bc when i visited it was when the sun was setting

and i fell in love

[harsh sentinel]

but like good food and happiness and safety and perfect campus and parties and social life and ugh

[sage shoal]

with ucla

[pliant trellis]

i hate to agree with ur friend but berkeley kids nowadays are ugly. back then they were hot! but nowadays, idkkfkkf im usually a girls girl but those girls are ugly cuz they mean as hell

[sage shoal]

no fr 😭

[pliant trellis]

but the topic academics are from berk

[sage shoal]

berk def has better academic reputation

[harsh sentinel]

and i like the courses for my major more

[sage shoal]

what major are u btw?

[harsh sentinel]

but should i compromise everything else for that

and if i go to ucla

[pliant trellis]

shes jorunalism

[harsh sentinel]

should i compromise academics for everything else

gah

[gloomy garden]

maybe that’ll do, hopefully I get to find out

[sage shoal]

i feel like for undergrad the difference is negligible for ucla vs berk

[harsh sentinel]

journalism ideally but media studies at berk (which is like theoretical journalism which is freaking awesome) and communications at ucla (which is much broader journalism and also includes anthro and econ and stats and which is like ehhhh to me like its cool but not cool enough)

[pliant trellis]

they have a lot of halal options tho that ik fs

[harsh sentinel]

i know but im pre law so currently im mainly focusing on which will help me more w law school

on one hand berk has a banger legal studies major

on the other hand they also have grade deflation

but berk might be better to get internships and experience for law school apps

idfk

i need to do more research

[gloomy garden]

but is it like middle eastern halal or are they just serving halal turkey bacon lol

[pliant trellis]

that i have no clue but i know there are like solid halal food options obviously not like maqloubeh or mansaff good but like avant garde weird halal food good

[sage shoal]

That makes sense yeah

[pliant trellis]

like really weird halal food that tries to be fancy

[pliant trellis]

i recently watched this super hot tik tok of a hot ucla law student

[harsh sentinel]

lol

[sage shoal]

U can make the decisions later and keep celebrating for now😆😆

[harsh sentinel]

true

but omfg my mom is so done with me

[sage shoal]

Not surprised to hear this llmfao

[harsh sentinel]

she's like girl go to purdue or uiuc atp i just want you out of my hair

like no hate to those schools but since applying i have realized i can NOT do cold weather

[pliant trellis]

[harsh sentinel]

[gloomy garden]

[pliant trellis]

AHH congrats on berk and la again

[harsh sentinel]

[pliant trellis]

i cant ruin them LMAO

[pliant trellis]

inshallah LMAO

[gloomy garden]

tbh if we go out to eat and u pull out some gloves ur gonna get roasted

in any middle eastern house

[slate cloud]

Me naming one thing Berk's better than Stanford. Sorry for the wait but prob have to wait for an eternity

[pliant trellis]

TO BE FAIR... i am east asian so its ok my arab friends get that im weird

[gloomy garden]

this reminds me of a Somalian friend of mine who has gaming gloves for his ps5

[pliant trellis]

nah im sorry i love the country of somalia cuz i did it for mun but every somalian kid i know is so weird idfk why i know like 10 and every one of them (i love them though) pulls crazy youtube stunts and are all theratre kids

one of my somali friends came up to me one day and just started belly dancing on me and i was so confused cuz it was during a math class

i was too close to a heart attack

[sage shoal]

LMAOO 😭😭

Imagine u put this in the verekely thread

[slate cloud]

No plz don't I was just joking lmao if I put it there I'll get in trouble cause they can't take a joke

[pliant trellis]

if i get into stanford ill do it

i have nothing to lose lmao they cant even reach me from all the way here

[slate cloud]

Lmao they'll be mad fs

[pliant trellis]

nah its fine i used to live in sf they cant throw a fight for anything

[slate cloud]

Can't take a joke -> Get mad + Can't fight is a perfect target fs

[gloomy garden]

how dirty is sf @pliant trellis

[hard linden]

any idea when stanford will be out

[pliant trellis]

pretty dirty actually i went back last year to see friends but apparently crime and dirtiness has gotten worse

[gloomy garden]

damn

messed up

[pliant trellis]

ikr

[sturdy cloud]

This is killing me, I want to ask people but like nobody got the same acceptances and I can tell how sad they are about it so I just stay quiet 😭

[light galleon]

ucla is way better

berkeley is ass (source: so many friends who go there)

everyone is depressed asf

[lost pier]

Fr

[wild thicket]

ME NEITHER AHHH

[limber kraken]

do we know when stanford is coming out?

ig no one knows yet

usually its the same day as duke right so maybe the 28th

[sage shoal]

it's usually the day right after duke/ivy day

[compact pulsar]

i doubt they would not release on good friday tbh... but idk

[gloomy garden]

they should just release on Thursday

[loud wren]

if we email them you think they'll budge?? /hj

[wraith spruce]

For a hooked applicant is rea better than rd?

[gloomy summit]

is it late to update new award and scholarship?

[dim badge]

in what way? athlete or legacy who donates probably

[wraith spruce]

Aight

[elfin coral]

yes

maybe wait incase wl

[gloomy garden]

lmao no they hold all the cards

[loud wren]

i know haha i was joking

[gloomy summit]

oh shoot i just submitted them 💀

[loud wren]

you submitted an update?

2-3 days before decision release?!

[gloomy summit]

yea 😭 it’s the amazon future engineer one cuz i felt like it’s gonna make a difference in my app

[velvet prawn]

Even if it doesn’t crackeddd

[gloomy summit]

thanks man 🙏

[loud wren]

yeah that's awesome!!

i hope it works out in your favor :)

[gloomy summit]

ur so sweet! hope the best thing will happen to u too ❤️

[urban mural]

They announced it?

[gloomy summit]

i think different regions will get their package different date, i’m in the central region

[digital spoke]

Yeah lol that was funny

[urban mural]

Will people get rejections letter?

[gloomy summit]

i’m not sure, u can also ask ur recommendation teacher if they got anything cuz i know they got notifications a lot earlier than us. but you’ll know it by 04/23 which is when they’ll release it to all winners

[urban mural]

Ou nah I don't think I got it then since my teacher didn't say anything

[gloomy summit]

they’re might trying to keep it a secret until they got the package to surprise u too

[urban mural]

Idk 😂😂

My application wasn't that good

[gloomy summit]

who know, i hope u the best tho 🍀🍀

[urban mural]

Ty ty

😋

[trail remnant]

!stanford

[azure pollen]

Congrats that’s super awesome! Stanford bound for sure

[rustic heron]

no way they release on a holiday right

stanford aboutta turn "good friday" into "bad friday" for 98% of applicants 😭

[sturdy cloud]

Stanford just out here to ruin my spring break

[rustic heron]

😔 i hope they release on ivy day

the wait is so painful

[hard mirage]

i think it would be funny if they released in ivyday but just an hour later

just so they can technically be after ivy’s

[white mortar]

I hope they release at 7 PM EST

im sick of waiting

[gloomy summit]

nahh but thankss 💜

[rough lark]

its good i'm rejected from stanford already so i don't need to wait

[nimble sable]

?

[trail dock]

have we found out when stannys comingg

[nimble sable]

i dont believe so

[trail dock]

😔

[nimble sable]

dw boys we aint getting in anyway

[trail dock]

(like im getting in tho)

[trail dock]

exactly my point

[nimble sable]

real

we all rejects 😤

i will put stanford reject in my resume

[nimble sable]

me fr

[simple vigil]

Same

[rustic heron]

i just checked past release dates

spoiler: they dont give a shit about holidays 💀

so march 29 pretty much confirmed plus they always do a day after ivy day no matter what

[trail dock]

les go

aight thx

[rough lark]

rea reject

[nimble sable]

ah

[harsh sentinel]

lol real

[harsh sentinel]

ok but academics>>>>>

[simple vigil]

this kinda depends what you want to go into

but in general yeah

[harsh sentinel]

true but personally i like berkeley courses a lot more

[simple vigil]

fair

[simple vigil]

though don't go on here if you can help it https://www.instagram.com/berkeleyfoodreview/

[harsh sentinel]

😭 😭

[light galleon]

hot maybe not so hot take: academics are a much smaller proportion of the college experience than most ppl think

[harsh sentinel]

i know

but it matters a lot to me

is it enough to sway my choice? idk. but its enough for me not to auto commit to ucla

[light galleon]

my parents fully both went to stanford and both of them say their classes were like thoroughly mid and they mostly lastingly remember the ways in which they grew as ppl and those they met

[harsh sentinel]

damn

double legacy goes hard though

but thats good to know

[light galleon]

yeah
idk obvs its just one perspective

[harsh sentinel]

see but on one hand im like academics doesn't matter but on the other hand im like wherever i am i can make good memories

[light galleon]

but it's something I've been thinking abt a lot

yeah

[harsh sentinel]

i mean its not like berkeley is horrible lol there's tons of people graduating every year and they're happy and successful

same with ucla

[light galleon]

it's really what you make out of it that's the bottom line
but the environment can make that easier or harder for you in the ways that you might or might not want

[simple vigil]

worst case scenario may 14th you flip a coin

heads = ucla

tails = cal

sideways = merced

[trail dock]

i like to make decisions llike that

i flip a coin

and after the flip if im like 'ehhh lets make it out of 3 flips'

[light galleon]

i filled out all 5 legacy slots on the app 😭😭🙏 praying

[trail dock]

then uk ur true choice

[light galleon]

THIS IS SO REAL

[dusky pumice]

damn this is crazy

[light galleon]

genuinely all-time method

[dusky pumice]

i've literally never met anyone who went to stanford

[light galleon]

can i say something insane .

[trail dock]

did u have an interview

[dusky pumice]

no

[trail dock]

ah

[night frost]

Sure (am I about to regret this)

[light galleon]

so at my grandparents house
there is a bathroom
and it is decorated , all four walls floor to ceiling, w personal stanford memorabilia

i live in the largest shadow the world has ever known

[night frost]

there was a kid at my school who had like the same thing t-t

[dusky pumice]

why, do stanford legacies get interview priority or smth

[night frost]

He did end up at Stanford

[night frost]

They do?

[trail dock]

they do???

idts

[dusky pumice]

sorry i meant it as a question

[night frost]

Oh

They don’t

[trail dock]

its randomized and plays a very small role in decisions

sadly

[dusky pumice]

sad

[light galleon]

doubt it
i mean a lot of the legacies live near palo alto anyway where there are like a million interviewers

so there's not rly any need for priority

at least there

[simple vigil]

hoping they don't really care about the interview

my interview was mid as hell

[trail dock]

im hoping they do

mine was so nice

[harsh sentinel]

LMFAO WHAT

[trail dock]

but they dont rly care 😔

[light galleon]

damn is this true, rip

[harsh sentinel]

that is true yeah i fit in really well at either and im okay with either so ill just do more research and pray ig

[dusky pumice]

i liked all of my interviews, i wish i got to do one for more schools

apparently harvard values interviews a lot and i didn't get one so womp womp

[harsh sentinel]

ok ykw ill do this except sideways will be davis bcuz i didnt apply to merced and davis is my only other UC option lol

[harsh sentinel]

omfg

[light galleon]

damn ok then
what's this from?

is there a full breakdown

[dusky pumice]

i think it might be the common data set

[little lantern]

i lowk forgot i applied here LOL

[simple vigil]

real

[dusky pumice]

this will be my last decision and if ivy day goes as expected then i'll be hopeless

[light galleon]

tbh regardless of whether I get in the app was rly memorable

the 50 word essays spoke to me idk it was such a fun medium

i wrote like poem-essays for every one

so silly fun

[forest bloom]

did u apply to yale?

[wraith spruce]

Did you apply rea/rd?

Does Stanford only count parents for legacy

Or do other close family members count a bit

[light galleon]

no unfortunately

[light galleon]

rd still waiting

[forest bloom]

i think youd enjoy those essays

[wild thicket]

AHHH IM STILL IN CONFLICT TOO LOL BETWEEN UCLA CSE AND CAL EECS

[light galleon]

my 5 were only parents & grandparents

so i would assume that's relevant

[wraith spruce]

Is there like a section on the application to list education level of each family member?

Stanford uses commonapp I assume?

[light galleon]

yes

[wraith spruce]

Are your family big Stanford donors?

[light galleon]

education level and (separately, if they went to stanfor) year & degree

[light galleon]

nah lololol

just normal ppl

[harsh sentinel]

REAL

[wraith spruce]

Which family members does it have you list?

Like any or just parents+grandparents

[light galleon]

just your parents, unless you're entering legacy stuff

[wraith spruce]

Ye for legacy stuff what can you enter

[light galleon]

for legacy it gives you 5 slots & you can enter some crazy shit like i think uncle and aunt even are options

[wraith spruce]

Only 5 slots for the whole application?

3+parents? Or parents and the 5

[light galleon]

well
it's stanford legacy only
wdym the whole application

[wraith spruce]

Oh for Stanford

[light galleon]

there's parent info
that's the general common app
& then for stanford specifically they ask abt your legacy stuff

[wraith spruce]

Ah

[light galleon]

the common app's general section (stuff that every school will want; useless to duplicate) is separate from the school-specific bits like "what major do you want to apply for?"

[wraith spruce]

Do you have legacy for any other goated schools or just Stanford?

[light galleon]

well like i said i have 2 parents + 3 grandparents who went to Stanford lol so for anyone counting that's almost all my immediate relatives

but stanford is cool im v lucky

[wraith spruce]

5x is crazy

[forest bloom]

when anyone wishes u good luck youll know you def had good luck

[light galleon]

yeah 😭

alas its good to know if/when i get rejected it was for sure on merit lolol

[wraith spruce]

You won’t get rejected

I believe in you

[simple vigil]

i guess you could say

[wraith spruce]

You have to get this win for all of the legacies out here

[simple vigil]

the @wraith spruce are endless

[light galleon]

so true !!

[light galleon]

sounds like you're projecting your own manifesting onto me and ! i will take it!

[trail dock]

https://ucomm.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2024/02/stanford-cds-2023_2024_final_v1.pdf

[light galleon]

interesting

[trail dock]

every colleges has to have one of these

look up [college name] common data set

[tacit halo]

so people with no interview region are in disadvantage?

[trail dock]

they say that theres no disadvantage on their site

and interviews are randomized not skill based

iirc very few are skill based like yale and harvard

rest are randomized

[tacit halo]

what about duke?

any idea?

[night frost]

I’ve heard Duke is selective with who they interview

I may be wrong tho

[nova ruin]

Yh they are

Like Yale, it’s based on additional info

[tacit halo]

what if they already know everything they need to know about me? 😂

[haughty raptor]

So Harvard interview means u have a chance?

[pliant topaz]

when's stanford coming?

[random jacinth]

They haven’t dropped the date yet

[light galleon]

I've read that it's almost surely Friday

[random jacinth]

Could be but we’d never know for sure

[light galleon]

if not Friday though then they release it on Monday which would be wack

admissions offices rarely release on Monday

[real herald]

i hope its tomorrow ngl

then ill be done w all decisions

except mich

[dim badge]

we don't know

since good friday happens this friday

but tbh i dont think their admissions office closes for good friday so my guess is friday as well

[light galleon]

good friday is not a national holiday, i really doubt it

stanford is not a religious corporation lol

[gloomy garden]

aside from not being able to call them

[dim badge]

yeah thats what i think

[gloomy garden]

but that’s on Monday too so

[dim badge]

i get duke on 28th tho

bc they're a religious school owned by a church iirc

[light galleon]

mhm

[gloomy garden]

it’s not on their official holidays page either for employees

[dim badge]

honestly im content with any decision from stanford atp besides a waitlist

i cant wait any longer

[gloomy garden]

so I suppose they’re going to release on Friday

[dim badge]

probable

we should find out today or tomorrow

[gloomy garden]

according to koi they only gave an official confirmation for REA like hours before

[dim badge]

really? i was rea and i swore we found out like a day or two before

but ig it wasnt official, it was the chatbot lol

[random jacinth]

Nah we defs found out more than an hour before

[dim badge]

yeah we did right

[random jacinth]

It was on their admissions page I think

[dim badge]

maybe like a day before

[random jacinth]

Yeah for sure

[dim badge]

all the defers are becoming more active in a2c again lol

[random jacinth]

Hahaha Ofc it’s time

It’s been a decently long wait

[dim badge]

man if any of us get waitlisted its gonna suck

[random jacinth]

Omllll I really hope not

[dim badge]

atp i would prefer a reject over a waitlist 😭😭

i cant wait any longer

[random jacinth]

Nahhh come on

Deep down yk you want that waitlist hope over the rejection

Even tho it’s an even longer wait 😭

Damn

[dim badge]

so its basically a rejection with a sliver of hope

[random jacinth]

Do a lot of people get wailisted?

*waitlisted

[dim badge]

fluctuates on year

c/o 2024 was crazy high bc of covid i'd imagine

[light galleon]

got neu deferred/waitlisted 😭🙏

[dim badge]

oh wait last year was 15%

so theres a sliver of hope i guess

[dim badge]

damnn

i got waitlisted and i didnt even finish my app 😭

i saw the srar and was like

i aint doin allat

[dim badge]

yeah maybe

i thought it was way lower ngl

hopefully we just get accepted

i think we're borderline so hopefully theres a decent chance idk

[quasi relic]

[harsh sentinel]

OH MY GOD

WKJXKWKKZKAKOZOS

why were yall maniacally stalking the website though

[elfin coral]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

the final stretch

I cant do this

[old pike]

😭

I should skip 29th as well

[elfin coral]

[old pike]

I wish I could

Whatever happens, I feel im gonna end up at the top of A2C rejects

[elfin coral]

im destined for greatness😎

[frozen gale]

yo whats the date for stanford rd?

[real herald]

Is 4pst 6 cst

[real herald]

Friday

[elfin coral]

march 29 4pm

[frozen gale]

ty!!

[gloomy garden]

I think imma just skip tommorow and wait till Stanford decisions are here

take it all in one go

instead of prolonging my suffering with rejections on Thursday

[loud wren]

yeah sure

if you have the discipline to do that

you deserve to get into all of these schools

[pine rain]

Ive thought of an order

That I’m opening mine in

[loud wren]

and?

[harsh sentinel]

im opening all my ivies at once on different devices with fam

[pine rain]

To minimize coping

[harsh sentinel]

stanford is by itself

nyu also by itself

[pine rain]

I legit dont want to open with my family

[harsh sentinel]

valid

[pine rain]

Its too depressing and they always make fun of me or ask me why i got waitlisted (or, given the decisions coming up, rejected)

[harsh sentinel]

i don't think my ivy result is gonna change anything though so for me it's just for the experience

[harsh sentinel]

aww im sorry you have to go through that🫂

yeah family can be tough during this season

i got rejected from bu but my friend (who's much less stacked + has a lot more rejections) got waitlisted and my mom was SO happy and kept taunting me💀💀💀

[gloomy garden]

that’s sweet

[loud wren]

nono!!

i mean whats the order

[real herald]

womp womp

[pine rain]

im probably gonna go:

berkeley (rejected but ion feel that bad cuz i dont really want it anymore)

columbia (also rejected :( so now i have hope for something like)

brown (also rejected now im getting desperate so i open)

harvard (dont feel too bad about this one cuz its HARVARD)

yale (now I’m feeling kinda down but its whatever cuz its freaking yale ofc they rejected me)

cornell (idrc atp whatever cornfield blah blah blah)

duke (yea whatever maybe their team gets beaten by purdue in ncaa and i can feel good)

princeton (now its joever and i wait longwr)

[real herald]

Where would u go then?

[harsh sentinel]

nah bro 9 rejections kinda unrealistic for you given your streak

[pine rain]

Purdue

[harsh sentinel]

imagine you get 9 waitlists💀💀💀💀💀💀hard medium place moment

[pine rain]

Bro purdue is going to playing gonzaga the same day stanford comes out

We’re both gonna get L’s 😭

[real herald]

😭

[pine rain]

I’m a purdue simp

Even tho i dont watch basketball

Ive been so invested

They finally didnt pull a purdue on themselves first round

I dont even watch the games bro

Cuz i feel like im gonna fuck them up by watching somehow

[real herald]

They frauds ngl

[pine rain]

Wdym

[elfin coral]

youl get into atleast one of these

[pine rain]

Also

Stanford date out

Fri 4 pm pst

[elfin coral]

yeah

you should be good for berkeley tho

[pine rain]

Nah

[elfin coral]

😭 have faith

[harsh sentinel]

wl fs

[pine rain]

OOS is too competitive

[elfin coral]

im oos too

[pine rain]

Did u get in?

[elfin coral]

waiting

[harsh sentinel]

same (ish)

[pine rain]

Yea I’m not optimistic abt berkeley

[elfin coral]

i can feel it

im getting in berkeley

[pine rain]

My stats r lowkey mid

[harsh sentinel]

W

i love berkeley

[elfin coral]

cmu->berkeley->stanford pipeline would be elite

[elfin coral]

I mean youre here, and you applied to those top schools

they surely arent

[azure whale]

Did you mail your HS transcript?

[spring veldt]

No they aren’t

[pine rain]

My counselor sent mine in via commonapp

[azure whale]

Ahhh okay. they haven’t received mine. and im like 😭
