Tbh old dorms r prolly best
Drop the soap vibe
OLD DORMS
Depends on dorms
Like if you drop the soap
Renovated
You getting pegged ?
No š
They fixed it a bit ago

Itās just a dorm tbh
Go productivity chat
Iāve only been in Bonney

Sure
Is it an open bathroom?
No u need a key card
No
I mean like
Are you showering next to people
I aināt tryna see another man showering
Kinda
š
Iām waking up at 5am to shower
And blocked off ofc
Iām fine
Ye no
Ye thatās fine
Probably blocked for the vc
Ye
.
Idk
They donāt consider demonstrated interest tho right
Ego
What
No they donāt
they have an optional essay that replaced their legacy question on if you ahve "any historical connection" to UVA
Oh I thought you were asking why
idk prompts diff this year
There are some schools out there with no supplemental essays but most have some version of it yeah
oh i guess it could be different if you're not applying via commonapp
What are supps
Like I know we write essays
But what are the different types of essays we gotta write
Iāve heard of supps
But wtf are they
Are supps like the main essay?
Or is the main essay not called supps
You need to begin
Aināt u applying this yesr
Yes
Ye definitely get on that
But my writing and grammar sucks
Like Iām in de English 12
And weāre doing an essay
Or like one of our essays is a college essay
And I chose to do mine on iva
UVA
DE English 111?
O and other rubric it talks about how the college essay should have the least amount of grammatical errors
But I struggle w grammar
I always have
Huh
But like Iām doing my college essay on uva for our assignment bc thatās where I can def get the most help from like other ppl since it will actually be an assignment/essay that is graded
@s1ns im just worried that my grammar gonna screw me iver
Wym
Just write an essay
Ask someone to review it
And keep improving on it
#š-essays someone got u
Even I could
So just write like I normally do?
Ye
Cause sometimes I hone in on wanting my grammar to be perfect that I take longer
Bc my grammar has always sucked
Wen is ea due
November 1
š
Itās college composition I think
Nov 1st
@calm wagon UVA has 4 essays Iād get on it, plus common app matters A LOT
Iāve spent like 8 hours editing and revising mine
Iāve changed my ending like 12 times
Uh oh
Okay Iām starting
4??
I thought there was only one
I know vt has 4 Iām not sure if uva has 4 though
Wait are the four essays all main essays
Or is it like what sins said here about supps
And main essays
Wut
Commonapp uva has 1 required essay
1 optional
And then obv the commonapp essay
I think thereās another one for nursing
I was thinking of VT
Theirs is 4
Which is excessive considering the schools in no way prestigious š
???
UVA isnāt prestigious? š
He talking about VT
VT is prestigious in VA
So is tech not prestigious?
Vt is a good school for engineering overall
I have a lot of friends from out of state who are applying to tech for engineering
Isnt e school harder to get into š
Ik for transfers it def is
But yeah va has a stacked college lineup
Even gmu, the ultimate safety school, is objectively pretty good
Fr
Jmu is also a pretty good safety
And Iāve heard vcu is good for premed
That's insane
Are all parking spots in colleges paid
I know NC state allows parking for freshmen but it's paid
Yeah
The only terrible public school is rlly only like
Radford
How much is it usually
I got the general lite permit so its like a .6 mile walk from my dorm to mt car and it was like 250ish?
Probably less
Theres also 2 parking decks on campus which is like abt 420ish for the sel
Sem
Per year?
Or per sem
Per sem
ye
iwl eschool gen eds will make u wanna end it more than any a&s gen ed
Well it depends on what kinda college you go to. UVA traffic is terrible and so is other big schools like MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Yale theyāre all āWALKABLEā universities itās all about walkability in the more prestigious colleges.
But at UVA the parking passes arenāt bad but you do have to pay to park on campus
Nvm
24/7 parking?
At UVA? Yes once youāre a second year you can park at your apartment if you choose to do so
And most apartments have free parking
Apartment?
They don't uh offer dorms?
Lol yes
All first years live in dorms
Like āapartmentsā are still UVA owned or affiliated lol @sonic frigate
Ohh
Like my brother lives in an apartment but itās owned by UVA and operated by UVA he doesnāt own it or pay rent
Are they separate or in campus
He doesn't pay rent?
theyāre all around campus not directly in da middle or anything
No lol Iām sure itās in his tuition if you call that rent
Is this like a unique UVA thing or is it normal everywhere
Oh
He has a roommate from UVA
His student ID badge is his kry
They are like 10 different apartment buildings like that around the UVA
Why r u a sophomore and over here @sonic frigate
No idea
What about the commerce school
wen u apply ur pre commerce
then u apply to get into the comm school in ur 2nd year
its like
60% ar?
idk
but some dont get in
Oh damn
Thatās not that bad
I was thinking about applying to the IT major
me fr
Just made a commonapp account š
Too scared to do anything else
It looks very overwhelming
Same here
Wdym
If ur overwhelmed
Yeah b wdym warm up app
U mean itās easy?
Or like itās the best way to dive/get introduced into college apps?
Or
They donāt care what u write ur getting in anyways š
How dyk
And u didnāt answer my question
Cause Iām still confused
Wdym warm up dawg
its extremely easy to get into VCU
so you can get into the swing of actually writing a hard essay/application
Does vcu even have supps
Do I apply rd there
P sure its rolling
Their acceptance rate
š¤®
?
Dub
I submitted the wrong last name
š
š
pov every Highschool Senior in America
bro get outta here
nah im obsessed now

Not good
You rlly shouldnāt get stressed over college apps this early
Make you wanna die
I aināt stressed at all
Just addicted for some reason
Itās a phase
Iāll be gone
And come back next summer
Itās not fun
Is uva in a good location
what majors is uva best known for?
Itās in Virginia
UVA has a good economics and CS program
Data Science is also big there
The greater Charlottesville area is pretty nice!
Both historical and modern architecture exist there, mostly historical obviously, the walkability is great and there are lots of place to shop and eat and stuff
Yeah UVA CS is thriving rn
The recent cs rankings for us news is bs
They lowered UVA CS Ranking even though they hired 10 new faculty and piloted a new course
They also recently revised the entire curriculum
Data science major is coming out next year with the release of the new school so correct š
UVA also has good commerce
Too many of them here ngl
The new Ivy League
Which means I could apply to it as co 2028?
Check commonapp
Yes, very safe, tons of stuff to do, lots of history, and pretty nice people
How are my fellow Virginians
Relatively well.
Virginians..hmm
SOPHOMORE
DISGUSTING
Smh someone gonna chew you up and shit you out
Woah woah are you blaming me for your dirty mindš
dirty mind?
what did you say that was dirty? lol
Uh not really it's a saying
oh
taking this college off my list bc i didnt get my schools jefferson nom š”
Rip who got it
idk i havent bothered asking
i honestly have the best resume in my class but im a transfer student so my school was probably biased against me š
fr
Shut it
š
Does each school give out one of those
yeah
I know I aināt getting my schoolās š
How do
You know
my counselor told me
Is the nomination like autoadmit into UVA
Or just a chance at the scholarship
Iām trying to get in fr
CHance at scholarship
no its separate
technically speaking if u get the schol u can still get rejected
altho that is highly improbable
Guys
What the hell is the personal essay thing
It says I can choose out of the options
So once I choose out of those
I can use that same one
For the rest of the cuooos that use it?
Like ik uva uses it
Bc Iām writing it for uva
But
Does it matter which one I pick
Yes

Oh, no it doesn't matter which one you choose.
So what the "CommonApp Essay" does
Is it basically replaces any "big essays" on all of your individual colleges.
Say you're applying for 20 colleges. Instead of having to write a 600 word essay for each of those colleges, now you only have to write 1 big one.
Now each college may have a "Writing Supplement" which are generally short responses/additional essays.
Okay but how do I start
Like the word count is so short
I donāt know how to start writing
Because I suck at condensing things down
Itās horrible š
600 WORDS IS TOO SHORT?
It took me forever to get to 600 words

Granted I then got to 650 and it took me 5 days to condense to 600
Yes
How do I say stuff
Without making it like wordy like that
I think I just made this more wordy by saying ālikeā
You see what I mean bro šš
I donāt know how to get straight to the point
Like I always like write roundly
If that makes sense
Literally same
Average junior
what is it
lmfao
UVA doesnt need a fuckin 4.0
Ofc yk I have a 4.2/4.0 UW so I cant speak for those who have less but
Yeah fucking right
lol
I have a 3.72 UW šŖ
lol
My W is like 4.2 out of 5 (maybe 5.5?)
I had like all Bs sophomore year and all Bs and Cs freshman year
I have all As rn tho
The upward trend gonna be crazy
Still not getting in tho
I just didnāt care until now
No itās not
Weighted scale is out of 5
You have a 4.0/4.0
You have a 4.56/5.0
Weird
I think it depends on the school
5 is the max gpa you can get if you get 100s and only take AP/DE/IB classes all 4 years
For me
No you donāt š
Unless you mean like 5/5.5
š
But it always goes up
I just donāt do homework
I prolly would have a 3.9-4.0 if I did homework lmfao
ME WITH MY 95 in ap microeconomics rn
Same lmao
I get a 95-100 on every test lol
Lowest Iāve got is an 88 in ap physics on a test so far
I hate math homework
I did Calc ab already
And Iām in Bc
So we legit redoing same shit
Same thing with AP WH homework
We canāt skip ab
I never did that shit
Took like 4 hours
We started unit 1 4 classes ago
Deadass
We did unit 9-10 and now we just skip through units and study
Crazy
Ye only junior in Calc Bc tho so yk šŖ
Bro AP world history home work was easy
Not if you had my teacher
I took it my sophomore year
Same
AU Euro?
Sophomore year
Why both?
I like History
š
Weirdo
Nah my school doesnāt have euro
Not a true stem bro
Rejected from MIT
Bitch
Itās better than English
Do not speak the word of the devil into existence
In 3 years
I enjoy History as a secondary topic my classes are predominantly STEM
Whatās MVC
Multi variable Calc
I couldāve done it my senior year but school didnāt offer it
So graduating early
Nah
It aināt bad
Iāve self studied part of it š itās not horrible
More enjoyable than linear algebra
Iām chilling just taking AP Calc BC and Stat next year
š
And Physics
Bros a Junior and thinks he can talk here
Only easy classes that look hard

My physics class only has 8 ppl
Like IB Business Management
Heās bringing in a switch on Friday
We gonna play some smash
Free class
I only like my physics teacher
Dude one of the schools in my county did this
You know what is NOT a free class? AP Bio
They deadass adventured off into the fuckin woods and one kid got lost
Yes itās horrible
AP Bio should die
Dude we get like 30 pt curves in that class
Iām skipping AP Bio and Chem
š
I took honors
That class ppl legit get like 30s without curve
Itās so sad
Ppl do worse in there than physics
Unlike Bio and Chem
Iām taking C next year
Will make you kill urself
Freelo
Enjoy š
Nah it wonāt
Itās 11 units in 1 year
Ok
Lying
Whatever bro it will be my 1 hard class
Physics C is the hardest AP course by far š
E & M?
Besides BIO
Wait what
Yes
I took AP Physics 1-3
Lol
Do I take both exams
Like AP Econ
What exam did you take lol
Yes
Oh hell no
My mom already yelling at me for $400 dollars in AP exams
I explained it to her tho
I meant 1-2
Did you take the C exams?
I should be studying for PSAT rn
The physics c mech exam was pain
Give me motivation
My sat is Saturday
Havenāt studied at all
Iāll take my 1300 itās wvr š
I had October SAT but rescheduled to November š
Bruh Iām at 1450 rn
Up your game
1450 on practice tests
i don't believe in it
Why?
more importantly my counselors told me the C exam didn't exist at our school
1300 aināt getting into uva lil bro
Hehe ur funny
My ECs will get me into UVA š
1300's have a good chance of getting into UVA
My gpa getting me into VCU
Lol
JMU is so shit
Ppl at my school got accepted to some random as schools the past few days
I think Ccollege decisions should be moved up like 3 months
No one even tries to go anywhere prestigious where I live
Thatās W for u
I think you should have to apply by august
maybe
Not November
I mean I can get a 700+ on math easy
tbf tho i only had 620 math my 750 english didnt carry
I got a 730 without studying
1550 should be UVA autoadmit as long as youāre not from NOVA
where u go to school?
1550 should be uva autoadmit no matter where im not gonna lie
Keep in mind
Nah nova kids tryhards
im tryna to transfer
UVA isnāt a shitty school
i know someone who goes to gmu
GMU
gmu is a good school but its not for me
GMU is the better JMU?
A 1500 truly isnāt hard if you actually study
Study bro
gmu is much different than jmu
Iām applying in November ?
Lol
Iām doing test optional
jmu is known for having coke at parties gmu is known for having nothing relating to parties lmao
Lmfso
GMU is known for being next to DC
gmu is a massive commuter school
šŖ
valid
in state gmu is imo 4th and jmu is like 5th
Iāll take a gap year if I donāt get in there
UVA is #1 in state
William and Mary we get it
no
My safety is tech
UVA a target for u
i know
š
gmu is 4th after uva tech and wiliam and mary
LMAOOO
You applying to chapel hill?
ive got a full ride to unc chapel hill
Oh yeah
some collegeboard program thing
You said that already
indeed
Bro thinks the geographical diversity gonna help him
I think the legacy will help me
Like what the fuck

U get legacy for siblings?
Not necessarily considered a "LEGACY" officially
But they take it into consideration. My brother got in 100% bc our oldest brother went
On the previous application the "Are you a legacy?" question there was a drop down box to state who went and you could choose siblings
Until they removed it this year

so it's just an otional essay about your legacy
Talk about ur rich brother
my brother isn't rich

so legacy people can still yap and i can yap about how uva got me into astro when i was in middle school
š
In the middle of nowhere va too
I prefer bum fuck egypt of VA

Maybe less heāll
Why nobody here from NOVA
I needa beef
im living in fairfax rn
Fuck you
Donāt come anywhere near Richmond fr
i agree im here because im at gmu i hate this school
My brother's roommate in college was from Fairfax
I didnāt know there was that many tbf
Nah I mean where u grew up
real fburg area
im just too far i cant commute
so rigt on the cusp
Our median household income inmy county is 40k/year
The median household income in King William County is 95k/year @last plinth
Bro flexing nothing
we cannot afford water here bro
The amount of hunters we have just roaming around dude
water is a luxury imagine that
Suprised thereās water lines over there

my town is one of the biggest in my sub-region with 4k people
so we supply water for most of the county
Lol
I did not just doxx myself
this is why you're not getting into UVA
Thatās like 20 mins from Richmond
Iām 20mins from Richmond
Well
No diff
45-60
Nah
Mechanicsville?
Thatās crazy
That where u are?
Chesterfield
I used to live there
South of Henrico
But no not anymore
Iām in king William
Just passed
Itās near Caroline and Hanover
Yeah that place rural
Well everyone ik out here has atleast 20 acres so
But a lot of ppl have money out here since itās a lot of new constructions
Since ppl buy land and build homes (mostly old white men)
Atleast u close to Kings Dominion
You get the summer pass?
My family kinda crazy
We do shit at the house
š
Best part about not being in city
Is you can shoot out here and not be disturbed
In mechanicsville you canāt
Imagine
My only award
My doubters trembling
Lol
My SAQ were good
My MC were bad
Since I couldnāt focus
Had to take it in standard Econ
He didnāt do SAQ for the first test
And the kids in there are mentally challenged lol
Like they slow asf
Never take a standard clsss
I didnāt have room in schedule for any other form of Econ š
My school got too many smart kids
I should of gone to Matoca
That school would be free
In the middle of nowhere between Richmond and Petersburg
40min bus ride and you gotta wake up at like 5am but itās whatever
I also got into the hood school
Meadowbrook
Thereās fights hourly there
Lol
Go to fuckin highland springs
That schools top gpa prolly like a 4.1 fr
Good or bad?
155
Big?
We got like 600 š
IN UR CLASS?
Yeah
WE HAVE LESS THAN 600 IN OUR WHOLE SCHOOL
They are building a new high school
Bro thereās 3 other high schools in a 5 mile radius too
our elementary classes r so small now we had to consolidate our two elementary schools
It was originally a middle school
Ngl being from nowhere is a big hook tho 
Yeah
I got absolutely no hooks
Suburbs
Asian
Barley qualify for financial aid
Straight
Itās crazy
Rip
Honestly Iāll probably get rejected from all my schools
Iāll do anything for Cornell Dyson or Wharton š
Wharton
Iām getting in
Show ECs
Mostly business
how many
I tried applying for national business honors society but the teacher said I needed 3 years of business š
I have 3 years of marketing
Apparently accounting counts as business but marketing doesnāt
Different
She wouldnāt accept me anyways tho
Since Iām the VP of DECA and sheās the FBLA advisor
DECA (š¤®) is not the same as FBLA (š„)

Iāve been 1st place in regional competition every year in two categories
Only made it like 6th in state 

I can do 2 objective tests and 2 roleplay
Oh

What happened to Wesley??
Just searched apparently bro had an argument and got banned
Temporarily
Real
Can I count on UVA ED to defer me instead of reject
I feel like my first semester senior year grades will really help my upward trend case
Just realized how trash my UW gpa is
Or should I respond to this email for the Demonstrated Intrest
Its vcu its literally nothing
If you are in this discord you are getting into vcu
Also look at their css
Cds
vcu rejects 7 applicants out of every 100 that apply
Bro
Kid at the VT college visit is wearing a UVA sweatshirt š
If I get into MIT Iām going to MIT
It doesnāt matter if UVA is full ride
Or if princetons a full ride
What about CMU
MIT is where Iāll go
Or Stanford
nope
if I got a full ride to Stanford and CMU + a 50,000 voucher for anything I want Iād still go to MIT
What about UVA full ride vs CMU or Stanford
Ofc it is
Wgat is it
Isnāt cmu like
Doesnāt it have a really bad life or something

Bye
I was at tech for an athletic visit and i wore a penn hoodie when I first came
They gave me VT apparel though LOL
