[somber jasper]

a ralph polo boy in a nike tech world 😭

[prisma arch]

[undone elbow]

i always get yale or dartmouth

[prisma arch]

Oo yea

Rory girlmore

[undone elbow]

maybe its a sign

[meager crescent]

I dont see u at yale tbh

Those mfs are the embodiment of 🤓

[prisma arch]

yessss

[prisma arch]

nah

[onyx geyser]

idk i just wish there was an active sports fandom at wellesley

[meager crescent]

Michelle ur a sports fanatic?

[prisma arch]

isnt that school like all girls

[undone elbow]

ngl none of the east coast schools has a crazy active sports fandom

should've applied to unc or michigan 😭

[meager crescent]

Duke

[onyx geyser]

i only follow march madness honestly but i like the community that it brings

[somber jasper]

penn state?

maybe

[undone elbow]

yeah them

[undone elbow]

duke is the south no?

[meager crescent]

NC isnt the south imo

Its the east coast

Do u consider dc/va the south?

[undone elbow]

no

[prisma arch]

do yk what penn state is good for?

[onyx geyser]

i applied to michigan but the student population and the financial aid there is not it.

[somber jasper]

post grad research there is honestly really good

[undone elbow]

i kinda just draw my borderlines for the south based on political ideologies

[undone elbow]

for rd?

[prisma arch]

ohhh ok interesting

[onyx geyser]

yes

[meager crescent]

NC is kind of mixed id say

[prisma arch]

i love northcarolina

[meager crescent]

Also it feels weird whenever ppl refer to texas like we are alabama in terms of political ideology bc i literally know more liberals than conservatives

[onyx geyser]

i see abe lincoln at brown

[meager crescent]

Tbf parts of dallas and austin are liberal

[somber jasper]

so many of the research papers that i had to read through were from the penn state ece department

[undone elbow]

for sure, there's the liberal powerhouse triangle of charlotte, chapel hill, and durham

[prisma arch]

anywhere outside of austin and dallas is not liberal lmao

[meager crescent]

True

[undone elbow]

i see him at a lac or small school

i was kinda hoping he got into dartmouth

[prisma arch]

oo cool

[meager crescent]

Same

I think amherst or williams

[onyx geyser]

i hope he gets into bowdoin honestly

[prisma arch]

i see george washington at george washington university

[meager crescent]

Ooh bowdoin

[onyx geyser]

ik someone there and it is very very cool

[prisma arch]

bro i thought we were talking about presidents

[meager crescent]

Lmao

[supple falcon]

aww people are saying nice things about me ❤️

[somber jasper]

not me im gonna say mean things

uhhhh

you smell!

just kidding you probably dont

[supple falcon]

sorry only titxn can be my hater

[somber jasper]

yeah im not cut out for hating

im a joyspreading jollymaxxer

[meager crescent]

Dont worry im always here

[native heron]

bro switched up after ea results 💀

[meager crescent]

No i didnt lmao i still love usc

It was my dream school last year

[native heron]

this is what the question was

[onyx geyser]

the price tag is making me reconsider 💀

[meager crescent]

Bro didnt even read what i said right

Usc fullpay vs harvard fullride i said usc is not allat

[onyx geyser]

usc full pay in general is outrageous. id go to cc

[meager crescent]

For usc fullride vs harvard fullpay i said usc makes sense

First read my messages then judge

[meager crescent]

Any private school fullpay

[prisma arch]

wait guys when r scholarships decisons

[native heron]

wasn’t the og question tho full ride idc vs full pay harvard?

[native heron]

on gucci my guy, the worst fucking part about usc 😭 they could so easily make it cheaper too

[meager crescent]

@native heron

This is what i was referring to

[prisma arch]

u guys better be getting a lot with 90k a year

[cold dome]

this is a real statement

[native heron]

this the q i’m talking about

[native heron]

ahh we were referring to dif things

[rancid lion]

Ya usc admitted a kid who won Fortnite FNCS so my respect just went down but how tf

[native heron]

realistically, none of us pay 90k (except for intls and the uber rich which is like ~25% of people)

[meager crescent]

I mean if ur gonna reply to my usc hate msg might as well check the message that that message was replying to

[prisma arch]

i didnt do the fafsa so idek what im gonna get

[meager crescent]

If u dont check the previous messsage then the following message wouldnt make sense

[prisma arch]

they said i can still fill it out so

[native heron]

any reason why not?

it can rly only help you get finaid

[meager crescent]

Then the following message would be out of contet and would be followed by anotjer following message leading to a misunderstanding

[prisma arch]

uh lazy and memory

[rancid lion]

R u in Cali?

[prisma arch]

yea

[meager crescent]

Then the misunderstanding would lead to a thread of more following messages

[prisma arch]

im gonna do the fafsa tomorrow

i swear

[rancid lion]

I believe it’s mandatory

[meager crescent]

Shit has so many problems

[prisma arch]

ik i will

[rancid lion]

For Cali

[meager crescent]

Usc fafsa was due jan 12

[rancid lion]

Well that was ea

[prisma arch]

OMG IKR

[rancid lion]

Ugh I’m still salty abt usc deferral

[prisma arch]

its diff for me

[native heron]

honestly i don’t spend that much time here, i sometimes just skim when im bored 💀 so i don’t like read everything in this chat

[rancid lion]

I’m kidding lol

[somber jasper]

😦

[rancid lion]

Nah bruh

@somber jasper

[somber jasper]

bro youre a mobile demon

[rancid lion]

Pls don’t refer to me as that Fortnite kid tho

[somber jasper]

i wont lol

one of my friends made it to world cup qualifiers in 7th grade

but focused on 7th grade midterms instead lol

[rancid lion]

Ya no my friends and I only played mobile some were console but that’s it

I played again for og fortnite

[somber jasper]

im on pc lol its so sweaty out here

[rancid lion]

Yup me too

[cerulean sluice]

bro was faze highsky

[somber jasper]

lmfaooo

[ancient echo]

please don’t send fortnite clips in the mf usc channel bruh

[rancid lion]

Usc accepted a Fortnite kid

[vestal drift]

they also accepted me so i promise fortnite kid isnt the lowest theyve fallen 😊

[rancid lion]

Nah Fortnite kid is the lowest they will ever go. Like I genuinely can’t and he got in for cs

I could have been a great addition to usc

Fortnite kid #2

[vestal drift]

wouldnt that be the most appropriate major for fortnite kid?

[undone elbow]

i hope you get in usc hater, you're the only one who hasn't switched up despite getting deferred

[rancid lion]

Ur right

[vestal drift]

isnt usc huge on game design too

[rancid lion]

I switched up fast lol

[rancid lion]

I think so

[undone elbow]

im kinda debating on doing CS + Business Administration @ Marshall

like that just seems op

[rancid lion]

Berkeley MET wanna be

I’m kidding

I’m kidding

[prisma arch]

my friend is doing that

[undone elbow]

you got in right

viterbi?

[undone elbow]

id never get into met tbh

[meager crescent]

didnt u apply viterbi

[undone elbow]

yes

the only requirement is being in viterbi

[prisma arch]

I applied to an academy so like my results come around April sob but I applied during ea

but viterbi is second

[final tangle]

csba is a viterbi major

[undone elbow]

they told us we can switch to csba during orientation and start taking classes

[meager crescent]

gotcha

[final tangle]

Yea viterbi sends out a form during the summer if people want to switch majors before classes even start

[rancid lion]

Cs + business is op tho

U got it bro

[ancient echo]

csba is lowkey jack of all trades master of none lol

u do all the boring business shit and all the intro cs stuff but never really get to specialize

it’s a good major if you’re gonna double w smth else

like an econ + csba is W

or like something else idk but by itself it seems like ur spreading urself thin in areas that require more focus

[final tangle]

I also agree with this but I'm saying that as a straight cs major so like I might be biased

[ancient echo]

cs major is boring touch grass take a shower and get a life smh

like partly joking

[final tangle]

bro I have less work than a lot of my stem friends 🤷‍♂️

[vocal harness]

Isn’t the different between CS and CSBA only like one class tho?

[ancient echo]

what math u taking dude

also are you taking 104 yet or still 103 and 170 this sem

[final tangle]

Taking 225 rn.

Also currently in 104

U a cs major?

[ancient echo]

fuck no i hate that

[ancient echo]

good luck this shit is supposedly ass

[ancient echo]

ah W

i will see you in 407 next sem!!

[final tangle]

idk if im gonna take 407 next sem

[amber venture]

did anyone else’s school for usc have something similar to mine where they usually admit 20+ people in total but early they only admitted 2 or 3?

are they doing weird stuff with early admits

[wind belfry]

When the feeders stop feeding 💀

[amber venture]

not even a feeder, just a top bay area public and like of the 20 who get in only like 5 go

i assume because most get berk/ucla or an ivy and go there instead

[wind belfry]

“Not even a feeder”
“Top Bay Area public”
💀

[amber venture]

well feeder in my mind is usually like a private school that has long relationships with the school where the school needs to admit x number a year to continue their relationship

for top bay area publics usually this isnt the case theres just a lot of people with good stats and ecs

not that like the high school has relationships with colleges like many private high schools do

[wind belfry]

Ya but they also have a bazillion opportunities and so many get into t20s. Coming from a hs with, prior to my year, one t20 admit in a decade, I consider this a major feeder lol

Anyway, usc transfer essay is 2/3 done!

[wise turret]

idk where in the bay area you are (im in bay area) and idk how many students USC usually admits from my school, but i have heard no one they've admitted early from my school

[meager crescent]

@rancid lion LMFAO JUST SAW THE FORTNITE USC KID

HOW DID BRO GET IN

I know its a troll but still

[rancid lion]

Yes lol

[somber jasper]

they normally do that here as well but this year it was like 6 or 7 ea admiots

[rancid lion]

We normally have 5 accepted but only 2 commit

Normally one of them are recruits and the other isn’t

Imma get doxed but one of the quarterbacks in usc went to our school

But is now uncommitting to usc

[somber jasper]

ohg i know who that is

miller moss better anyways

[undone elbow]

usc (viterbi at least) had a 4% acceptance rate for ea so it makes sense

ea is much more competitive than rd

they said they only admit 20-25% of slots of the class in ea

plus scholarships

[wind belfry]

Draft 1 of usc transfer main essay complete!

[forest skiff]

y'all yapped so much

what college vibes do i give off

[ancient echo]

at SC?? or in general

[ancient echo]

congrats!

[forest skiff]

in general but also at usc ig

btw abhi when did you get your scholarship email

like what time

[ancient echo]

around feb 10 i think

[forest skiff]

that late?

when decisions?

also I wanted to know time if possible

[ancient echo]

i mean it probably comes sometime soon

everyone gets an email tho

u will be told if u are not shortlisted for anything as well

[forest skiff]

oh slay

[steady olive]

They said by January 30th for scholarships

So either today or tomorrow

[undone elbow]

Why are people saying today

[forest skiff]

p sure they said on jan 30

no admission packet yet but got this!

[ionic stone]

i got my admit package (cs) but i live in cali lol

[forest skiff]

my address is also in cali ugh

[ivory smelt]

hi giys i just got accepted ea at usc , im an interantional student, do they give much scholarship

[forest skiff]

They do but it's very competitive

[ivory smelt]

what are the stats for someine to get scholarship

[ancient echo]

you will hear about it soon! EA acceptees are eligible to some degree of merit aid so you might receive some tuition scholarship but good luck!

[ancient echo]

it’s not an exact stats cutoff that can tell you whether you get one or not!

[cerulean sluice]

wait is NMS an automatic half ride at USC?

[final tangle]

Yes

[vestal drift]

r u at disadvantage for getting mccarthy dorms if youre nmf because you have to wait for the national merit corporation to send usc the list of finalists who picked them as first choice?

[final tangle]

Housing it assigned based on when u apply for housing and the level of ur scholarship. Since nmf is a presidential scholarship, you have a pretty good chance of getting McCarthy. If you’re worried, I recommend applying to housing early (iirc it opens relatively soon for new students)

[vestal drift]

ok cool in that case ill just apply as soon as it opens lol i think i remmeber hearing that its february 1st

[undone elbow]

if i get an interview can i apply to mccarthy

[high wave]

ive been on hold w/ the fin aid office for like half an hour

:crying:

[undone elbow]

about what

[high wave]

smthn they are requesting on my FAST portal shouldnt be there

[undone elbow]

did your fafsa submit

Also for all USC admits, during your school's keynote, if you want to, send some admissions facts and the acceptance rate here if they release them. I'm going to compile our results for the class of 2029.

[high wave]

2029 ?

[final tangle]

Maybe I should try to clarify how the housing app opens. The housing app will open soon, and you will need to pay a deposit to apply for housing. During that process, you will specific preferences for where you want to live. When the housing app closes (in a few months), the time you applied (paid the deposit) will be used to determine who gets what housing assignment. You will be able to update your housing preferences until the housing app closes without changing your spot in line.

[high wave]

nope

[final tangle]

Hopefully that clarifies stuff. Essentially, you can apply for housing now and it doesn't really matter what you put as your preferences. If you do get a scholarship, you can update your preferences to make mccarthy your top choices later.

[ionic stone]

anyone know what time merit aid notifications will come out?

same time?

[vocal harness]

Any other viterbi admits get this lol

They’re doing so much 😭

[final tangle]

got a similar one last year the viterbi admission package is always nice

[high wave]

dornsife </3

[past dirge]

do they send to only domestic students?

or do international also get them too?

[high wave]

int get them too but itll take a bit

[vocal harness]

I agree they really are marketing themselves to the fullest

[ionic stone]

got it

[undone elbow]

yes

[undone elbow]

u should see what marshall gets

[supple falcon]

that looks so cool ngl

[median ocean]

did anyone see the stats for dornsife

[vestal drift]

no i didnt i was on the zoom call but either they didnt mention it or i wasnt paying enough attention lol

[high wave]

they didnt mention :(

[forest skiff]

what did they mention?

[high wave]

nothing important

[somber jasper]

just took a 5 hour nap

[clever monolith]

I got my Sol Price package today.

Nothing Sol Price specific but still great to finally get it

[forest skiff]

slay!

[high wave]

wya if u dont mind me asking

[past dirge]

anyone got a marshall acceptance package?

[clever monolith]

New Jersey.

[undone elbow]

i dont think marshall's started sending out their acceptance packages yet because the cali kids haven't gotten them

[ancient echo]

WOO price school fr

[marble bramble]

when do they email ab scholarship consideration

[meager crescent]

today

[forest skiff]

im so scared oihwcotihwotih

today decides whether i can go to usc or not

[high wave]

same

[forest skiff]

@high wave sorry if i've asked before oops but what major?

[forest skiff]

im literally so anxious ugh this was such a jumpscare

[high wave]

human bio

[forest skiff]

ooooh v cool!

[high wave]

tyty

[clever monolith]

Fr

[clever monolith]

I heard between 2pm and 5pm. Not sure if that’s PST, but the actual decision was so I imagine that this is PST too

[winged scaffold]

man

i dont wanna wait for this email

[somber jasper]

good luck to my ea scholarship seekers

[winged scaffold]

only 1/3 are getting scholarships righy

right*

[somber jasper]

somethn like that yeah

theres the scholarship spreadsheet somewhere lemme find it

[winged scaffold]

do these even matter btw

I heard if you get a scholarship they just replace your need aid

so if you had a 50k need aid grant and earned a 50k merit scholarship you would still only get 50k

they just replace it

or something

[somber jasper]

im not sure about that

idk

mccarthy honors dorms are nice tho

[winged scaffold]

would be nice if I could afford them 😭

I should probably call the office and ask about the merit thing

[somber jasper]

yteah good idea

[winged scaffold]

I heard they just give you the corporate talk run-around about the aid question though

ill try to just get a straight answer though

[somber jasper]

👍

[clever monolith]

Real

[clever monolith]

That’s so messed up 💀

Actually hate them fr

But please give me money 🥺

[ancient echo]

idk exactly how it works but i have friends who are on both who weren’t full air like

full aid

like

they go tgt

[clever monolith]

Oh okay

I certainly hope it’s that

[steady olive]

They aren't supposed to do that

But idk

[ancient echo]

they don’t!

[wispy plank]

I still can’t get passed the fact that everyone at my school got deferred like we got good apps here howw

[undone elbow]

im not surprised esp if they applied engineering cuz viterbi had a 4% acceptance rate

and overall is 7% which is lower than some t20s

[midnight condor]

vitterbi had 4???

what was dornsife

[undone elbow]

we dont know

[vapid rain]

knowing Viterbi was 4% makes me feel so much better abt being deferred lol

[somber jasper]

fax

[wispy plank]

That’s insane yea they were all applying to Viterbi

[undone elbow]

some will definitely get in rd so

[final tangle]

def higher than 4

[somber jasper]

did your mug arrive yet

[woven rapids]

Not really expecting to get an additional scholarship invite since I'll qualify for NMF and have an ROTC scholarship, so I'm assuming that we don't interview for NMF schoarship since we're just waiting for official word?

[midnight condor]

i'm going to estimate ~7-8% since the dornsife acceptance rate has been roughly the same as the overall acceptance raate in the apst few years

[ionic stone]

yeah how does the nmf scholarship work??

[woven rapids]

From my understanding, assuming you get finalist and have listed USC as your school, you get the scholarship

[onyx geyser]

brandon did u get a scholarship offer?

[past shale]

did they come out yet?

[ionic stone]

bruh usc just send me a non related email and i almost fell ovet

[vocal harness]

Did anyone get this lol USC is biggest troll

[ionic stone]

yea bruhhhh

[undone elbow]

they didnt come out yet

[undone elbow]

yes

[undone elbow]

overall was 7 so most schools definitely had higher acceptance rates

[somber jasper]

dope

[winged scaffold]

I called and confirmed

they do

[winged scaffold]

yes i just got this 😭

[past shale]

is dornsife hard to get into?

[winged scaffold]

but for anybody who is wondering the merit scholarship only give you money beyond your need grant if it exceeds that amount

[onyx geyser]

lol what

[winged scaffold]

so if you got a need grant for 40k and a merit scholarsjip for 50k you would only get 50k in aid

not 90

[winged scaffold]

i called the office and confirmed like 2 hours ago

so the only way I can afford it is if i get a full tuition 😭😭

[onyx geyser]

what is even the point of a scholarship for some ppl 😭 if it just replaces your need-based aid but doesn't lower your cost (in some cases)

[ionic stone]

did they happen to confirm time lol

[winged scaffold]

the illusion of aid

it makes unis look more prestigious and generous i guess

[winged scaffold]

no they did not

but i saw somebody on college confidential say 3-5 pm PSY

pst*

[onyx geyser]

did cornell end up working out?

[winged scaffold]

hi again

no it did not :(

appeal gave me some extra but not enough

so im holding out hope for USC now

if not im considering fordham because they actually offered me a full ride

[ionic stone]

isn't the fafsa screwed tho

[final tangle]

last year was feb 10th at 4pm

[winged scaffold]

yeah

[winged scaffold]

then it could be 4pm today… but it should come out today for sure based on the website banners

[final tangle]

as long as ur indicate that usc is your first choice school by the deadline you will get a presidential scholarship

[onyx geyser]

that sucks omg

*not the full ride, the cornell thing

[ionic stone]

i did it yesterday pepega

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[winged scaffold]

💀💀💀

yeah it does

its alright though

I’ll live

[onyx geyser]

full ride from fordham is still pretty awesome

can't really beat free college

[winged scaffold]

true true

well its not exactly full ride

its full tuition

which means i still pay 26k a year for room and board :/

nothing is free

but yeah I would be excited about fordham especially for my field of study

[clever monolith]

That was so evil

[winged scaffold]

fordham law school really hits above its weight in job placements

[vestal drift]

dude fordham housing is so expensive for what 😭😭

[winged scaffold]

I get it tbh

[clever monolith]

I toured, the views are amazing.

[winged scaffold]

a high rise 1 block from central park is bound to cost a fortune

[clever monolith]

At least Lincoln Center.

[winged scaffold]

^

[vestal drift]

thats fair

[winged scaffold]

I got admitted to lc so thats where id be staying

Wish they would cover housing too but you cant get em all

[vestal drift]

i appleid cuz i had the national merit scholarship and got sorta jumpscared by the housing prices afterwards

[winged scaffold]

jumpscared is crazy

LOL

[meager crescent]

Have the usc scholarship decisions been released

[dull pulsar]

No

[tulip loom]

[tulip loom]

we cant afford without more than 1/2aid

[meager crescent]

@forest skiff @undone elbow did yall bag?

[tulip loom]

this was my top choice sad

[clever monolith]

LFG

I didn’t get anything either. Hopefully financial aid comes to save the day (it will not).

[winged scaffold]

I just got an email

i was not selected :(

[winged scaffold]

same

I really dont think ill be able go now

[tulip loom]

sad

i wanted to go to school in la

[clever monolith]

Real.

[tulip loom]

my parents think usc is second rate school so they dont wanna pay much😭

[ionic stone]

woah im a finalist for presidental/trustee!!

[winged scaffold]

its crazy how many hoops we have to jump througu to get a few bucks off tuition

[winged scaffold]

CONGRATS!!!

[tulip loom]

out of curiosity are you nmf too?

[ionic stone]

is that for nmf or other reasons?

[clever monolith]

Yeah I was so excited. Felt like I got so lucky. Feels like it’s all for nothing.

[clever monolith]

LET’S GO

[winged scaffold]

yeah it really does

[ionic stone]

I am but I forgot to set my top choice for usc until yesterday lol

[tulip loom]

oh

[clever monolith]

Yeah it’s ridiculous honestly

[tulip loom]

interesting.........

[ionic stone]

so im not sure if its for nmf or other reasons

[undone elbow]

didnt get it

[hushed stirrup]

These scholarships aren’t the ones related to NMF iirc

Since NMF hasn’t come out yet

[ionic stone]

o rlly

[winged scaffold]

I thought if I could get into a top institution finances would be mostly taken care of but I guess somebody has to foot the bill

[undone elbow]

so no longer considering usc

[ionic stone]

they must have liked my application then for some reason

esp since im viterbi

[clever monolith]

And the fact that it’s not the multi-billion dollar EDUCATION institution is kind of ridiculous

[tulip loom]

same

[tulip loom]

im viterbi tooooo

[hushed stirrup]

time to hope for UCLA then ig lol 💪💪💪

[tulip loom]

lol

[winged scaffold]

welp im going to fordham now

[clever monolith]

I feel like I should take down the pendant they sent me because it’s so unlikely but I just can’t yet.

[tulip loom]

real😭

[meager crescent]

F

[vestal drift]

didnt get finalist 😔

[gaunt dock]

carly asks: If you were accepted EA to USC, did you get finalist?

[last glen]

anyone have usc stats for how many ppl are finalists?

[meager crescent]

Holy shit august u might be the greatest college applicant of all time

[meager crescent]

300

200 half 100 fullridd

[last glen]

😭 idek what i did right, i think i’ve just gotten a lot of good luck recently

also this probably isn’t the place to ask but should i be withdrawing my apps? (i didn’t withdraw my ea schools cause i knew my decision was probably already made and also i didn’t know any fin aid)

[tulip loom]

gets into stanford

"im lucky"

😂

gj tho lmao

[tulip loom]

if u committed prob should withdraw

[last glen]

OOPS not rescind lmao

[meager crescent]

Are u fully enrolled in stanford

Like committed

[last glen]

i haven’t done the form yet

[meager crescent]

Then ur fine

[last glen]

but like i applied to schools like ucsd and purdue and i def wouldn’t go there even if i got in, but at the same time they admit so many so does it even matter

yk

[woven rapids]

You have until May I'm pretty sure

[last glen]

hahaha i mean i won’t lie i have some decent ecs, but i haven’t started a global nonprofit or won a national comp or anything

[tulip loom]

mm

[woven rapids]

Viterbi finalist gang

[tulip loom]

nonprofit is so clown

[ionic stone]

if youre sure you're gonna commit its not great ettiquete to not withdraw (ucsd cs is not uncompetitive btw lol) ... but i mean. i can't force you

i understand , if i got into my top choice i'd still be curious but likeee it does matter for those more competitive schools, especially for cs

[last glen]

ahhh ok, yea i feel like i should it just didn’t really cross my mind until recently lol

thank youu

[trail solstice]

i got finalist!

[dull pulsar]

800

[undone elbow]

[last glen]

[undone elbow]

most cracked a2c applicant fr

[ionic stone]

[last glen]

ahh thank you!! wishing you the best as well 🥳

[somber jasper]

[onyx geyser]

[onyx geyser]

[weary fjord]

[undone elbow]

[final tangle]

oh congrats to anyone who's in consideration for scholarships good luck w ur interviews

[forest skiff]

you know how we said trustee or nothing
they gave me nothing 🤡

usc playing w me bro

[high wave]

twinning

usc off my list

[forest skiff]

fr

just when i started romanticizing it

well time to romanticize udub

[scarlet thicket]

real

as soon as they deferred--byebye

[high wave]

I didnt even get accepted to my in state’s honors program yet

im cooked

[forest skiff]

Which state?

[high wave]

ohio state

[forest skiff]

ohhhh

osu is competitive

[woven rapids]

Washington's campus is 10 times more beautiful than USC

[forest skiff]

fr plus i love their lsj program

[woven rapids]

And their football team is better

[forest skiff]

HUSKIESSSSSSS

[somber jasper]

😦

[somber jasper]

tbf at this rate any football team is better than usc

idk bout huskies next season tho their hc is at bama now

usc might be looking good cuz we poached ucla's dc

but idk

[woven rapids]

Deion is still working on CU Boulder, but I'd argue that they would still be an auto win for USC, but they don't play each other now, so

The QB that played in the bowl game was on fire though, so there's hope for USC

[somber jasper]

miller moss is a demon

yeah

i was supposed to be at that bowl game

i had free tix n everything

[woven rapids]

Ahhh bummer. It looked like it would be fun

[somber jasper]

yeah it was a crazy win too

[woven rapids]

Caleb seems like he's about to become a Bear

[somber jasper]

most likeley yea

[woven rapids]

I'd say the Broncos should trade up and take him, but I believe in the Heisman curse lol

[somber jasper]

do cardinals have a shot at bagging him?

[woven rapids]

They look like they are 4th, so maybe. The Bears and Patriots are above them, and both need a QB though. The Commanders are above them too, but they have bigger problems than their QB. Anyone could trade up too

[somber jasper]

perhaps

[median ocean]

Pats better take MHJ or Maye

[woven rapids]

Have they announced a new coach?

[steady olive]

Bears need to trade down and take mhj

Fields isn't their problem

[median ocean]

Jerod Mayo

[meager crescent]

My patriots are going to the playoffs this year

Daniels at the helm

Mhj lining up

[woven rapids]

The Broncos have a way to go, but we can hope for better things lol

[clever monolith]

NOOOOO

[flint musk]

sometimes i wish i was born in a different state

i wouldve qualified in like 35 other states for nmsqt in order for financial aid but nope NJ has the highest cutoff score

whatever

[forest skiff]

sometimes i wish i wrote the psat

[viral spire]

What about finaid

[viral spire]

Aww I’m sorry 😭 finaid better clutch up are your parents chill

[viral spire]

ME ASF

ME ASF

[forest skiff]

haha my parents are NOT chill

[viral spire]

BRO I WOULD HAVE QUALIFIED ALMOST ANYWHERE ELSE

[forest skiff]

even with deans it would've been a stretch but they would've been ok

[viral spire]

😭 usc dream gone?

[forest skiff]

rn usc is off my list

[viral spire]

What if you get other schollys

[viral spire]

NOOO

[forest skiff]

it's ok they're too frat-culture for me anyway

[viral spire]

Finaid??? Like there’s no chance?

[viral spire]

😭 valid

[forest skiff]

what other schollys?

[undone elbow]

i get 0

[forest skiff]

i mean

uchicago gives me $40k/y in aid

[viral spire]

How

[forest skiff]

if USC gives the same i can def go

[viral spire]

Like local

[forest skiff]

but usc npc showed me $0

[somber jasper]

is your usc fast showing everything in

[undone elbow]

cuz uscs aid is shit

[viral spire]

Booo

[somber jasper]

is it a fafsa issue

[forest skiff]

i didn't apply to any external schollys cuz they all require you to graduate from a us hs

[forest skiff]

No i still have FAFSA left

[viral spire]

My friend is middle class and got 60k+ from usc and nothing from ucs

[forest skiff]

what is middle class

[somber jasper]

maybe that will clutch idk

[viral spire]

150kish

[somber jasper]

usc gives aid even up to like 200k i think

[viral spire]

Ohh I meant in your area

[forest skiff]

damn

[viral spire]

@undone elbow

[forest skiff]

there are no scholarships here lmao

if USC gives aid I'll be happy to go

[viral spire]

Bro how are you supposed to pay

[forest skiff]

but its looking v unlikely

[viral spire]

When do you get the aid package

[forest skiff]

esp because my family income could go up next year

[forest skiff]

i mean for Indian colleges fees is pretty cheap so I'm not sure why there'd be colleges here

[undone elbow]

how much does ur friend make

[forest skiff]

uh one sec I'll check

[viral spire]

Dang can you still switch to ed2 chi

[undone elbow]

they give like 5k at 160 tf

[viral spire]

Ohh I see

[viral spire]

150k

[undone elbow]

according to npc

[forest skiff]

around March I think

[undone elbow]

and they got 60k?

[viral spire]

Dang 😭

[somber jasper]

YIIIKES

[undone elbow]

its a lottery then

[forest skiff]

do they not give aid above 200k tho

[viral spire]

Yes

[forest skiff]

Are you sure it wasn't merit

[viral spire]

Doubt

[somber jasper]

idk they prob do a little bit

[forest skiff]

parents won't let me😭

[somber jasper]

but like hardly

idk

[forest skiff]

ah yeah fair

[viral spire]

Yeah he said it was finaid and he was an rd admit

[undone elbow]

loaf was telling me his friends who made just above 80k got full ride or no aid at all

[viral spire]

Really why 😭

[forest skiff]

it's ok im now falling in love with udub

[somber jasper]

u get in udub?

[forest skiff]

they don't want binding

[viral spire]

There’s other factors that play into it

[past dirge]

are they need aware?

[viral spire]

My friend goes

[viral spire]

Ohh

[forest skiff]

no but i think i will lol

[viral spire]

It’s nice but soooo expensive

[somber jasper]

yah light work for you

[forest skiff]

my parents want a cheaper coa or a scholarship

[viral spire]

60k a year is insane

[forest skiff]

fin aid is risky

[somber jasper]

i was gonna apply to uw but the oos acceptance rate for engineering is absurd

[forest skiff]

because income will prolly go up

[somber jasper]

but campus is very pretty

[forest skiff]

so they don't want to go in with a good package first year then pay full pay second year

that's why they love Purdue lol

[high wave]

how accurate would u say usc’s npc is

[forest skiff]

$30k/y

[somber jasper]

idk lmfao

[high wave]

bc i will be paying full price w the npc basically LMAO

and i do not even hit 200

not even close

[forest skiff]

mm yeah if i get a scholarship I'd love udub

[viral spire]

They hardly give anything oos

[forest skiff]

bro i was playing around with values and the npc said i have to pay $40k/y if i make $60k/y 💀

[somber jasper]

i havent tried the npc yet

[viral spire]

The most I saw is maybe 10-12k in rare cases

[somber jasper]

its gonna be 0 tho fs

[high wave]

most ive seen oos scholarships r like <5k

[forest skiff]

let me be delulu😔

just like I was for trustee

[viral spire]

Usually if you get a scolly it’s like 2-7k

[viral spire]

😭

[forest skiff]

7k should be doable tbh

[viral spire]

Idk I applied uw but no way am I going

[viral spire]

53k is still insane

[high wave]

how does usc expect a family to survive off of 1/3 of their income

cray z

[clever monolith]

Exactly. If nobody got me, finaid got me.

[forest skiff]

i have two close families living close to udub so parents would love it

[viral spire]

Especially if Purdue is 30j

K

[viral spire]

W

[high wave]

finaid dont got my back

middle class <

[forest skiff]

My dad told me he'd pay $90k for USC vs $50 for uchicago💀

I mean he was exaggerating

[viral spire]

💀

[viral spire]

Real

[forest skiff]

But point is they'd do anything to get be to stay on West coast

[high wave]

my greatest flaw is not being able to apply ED

[clever monolith]

And they always seem to up the threshold so I might get an unheard of W

[high wave]

for the fear of my parents wrath

[forest skiff]

real

[somber jasper]

i would ed here in a heartbeat

[forest skiff]

i would ed uchi </3

[somber jasper]

usc open up the ed option pleaasee

[viral spire]

Fs

[viral spire]

My parents asf

[high wave]

I considered EDing to uchicago in secret

did not unfort

[viral spire]

But personally I’m not letting them pay that much for college 😭 especially if I have cheaper options

[forest skiff]

same

esp since they need to pay for law school asw

[viral spire]

Like even if I went to uw I still have to pay for plane tickets

Might as well choose Umass when it’s cheaper

[high wave]

If I went somewhere far I would simply not come back if plane tickets were expency

[forest skiff]

Ruby if we both go to udub we can carpool to cali

Don't you live an hour away from berkeley

[clever monolith]

My parents definitely want me to stay on the East Coast but they also want me to prove the haters wrong ong

[viral spire]

Girl I’ve driven to Seattle it’s 14+ hrs 😭

[rancid lion]

berk? isnt this ucla

[viral spire]
