whats the gpa "cutoff"
The CDS isn’t helpful
It gives weighted gpas
Try to be top 10% of class tho
Atleast top 25%
UVA waitlist is crazy
7 😊
@hard ridge Were you one of them
Ye I got off the wl
How tf would 90% of acceptances have a 4.0 UW
Altho that’s last year
Do they not
Dawg stop being a smartass
Bruh
No they don’t
Called me a smartass 💀
I’m quite possibly the dumbest person in this server
Something like that
What sport?
the first one i posted is 22-23 lol
u were one of 7 out of 4937
crazy odds
Yall do i have to send my ACT scores if i want them to be consiered
Or just saying yes in commonapp is fine?
What happened to gamingbyop
where should i address postal mail for rec letters
one of my teachers is submitting online and the other is mailing in
also we can do 3 recs right?? (the third one will be my counselor lul)
no just put them on ur common app
u only send ur score after u g et in so that they make sure u didnt lie
idk personallyh didnt mail so eiother ur teacher knows or common app altho idk y they wouldnt just type it out ?
most schools will specify and usually counselor is separate tbh i think i did 2 recs + counselor so
⚽
Oh shit
Tech is recruiting?
hes just quirky like that
if he wanted to type out recs then he would already have done that 😭
GUYS GUYS
OMG
DRAKE SHOUTED OUT VIRGINIA BEACH IN HIS NEW ALBUM
I forgot to say this yesterday
but
WOOHIOOOOOOOOWOWOWO
W DRIZYYYY
Counselors are separate
But UVA only allows 2 and then your counselor
we makin it outta hampton roads w this one
REAAAALLL
DRAKE SHOUT OUT BEST OART OF VA
This bad bro
This gonna attract more attention to Virginia
More people gonna apply to UVA
I need UVA to get kicked out of US news top 30 next year
🙏
Bros thinking too hard about it I genuinely dont know if you’re ironic
Game is game
Does uva have interviews
Ok they don’t
They won’t ever see my terrible social skills
They do bruh
Oh oh oh
UVA doesn't do intervies
but jefferson scholarship does
my bad
I ain’t getting that so np
why not?
Every school gets to nominate one
If you demonstrate interest to your counselors on UVA maybe they will nominate you
My class rank alone would disqualify me
130/500
Hell no 💀
Too many tryhards at my school
Would be the same thing if my school gave out 10 Jeff noms
There’s 3 kids that are completing to get it
All top 10 class rank
...
You realize that 130/500 and 13/50 are the same thing right...
I think the real statement is that you are not getting ot UVA with that kind of math
How
130 is 129 kids better than you competing for the nomination
13 is 12 kids better than u













130/500
13/50
Both is equal to 0.26
Which means you are in the top 74th percentile (by GPA)
Whether or not there are 129 above you in your 500 class
Or there are 12 people above you in your 50 person class
Your rank is, mathematically, the same
Next year
Who tf nerding out there in West Virginia
West Virginia??
Either way I got crazy ecs
The western part
Hopefully all the tryhards ED Cornell or some shit and I sneak in 🙏🙏🙏
I’m telling my counselor I’m EDing UVA tomorrow
Narrowed it down to these 4 towns
You're EDing to cornell
y those 4?
Wonder how many apply to Princeton
0
Literally anything else is too small or doesn’t fit that criteria


How is colder where I currently live
than at MIT rn?
thonking it should be shivering in massachusetts
45 mins to Kentucky
I’m definitely in the right region 💀
Anything east is atleast an hour
oh I'm not certain on my 45 minutes not a hard fact
i just know that i can get to kentucky faster than wva
U on the border of Tennessee?
Bristol or Tazewell?
Nvm
Ok yeah I’m done trying to doxx you
Numbers ain’t adding up

REAL
Gonna convince all the smart kids that they good enough for ivys even tho they not
game is game
Ima be the best applicant from my school to ED
No way they reject or waitlist me then
@little pagoda if you dont know if you are gonna get in can always aim for a waitlist
If you’re waitlisted they let you go to UVA wise for a yesr and then transfer to main
what
do they fr
That’s crazy
Yeah
Might onlt be for college of arts and sciences but thats most majors
Including their BA for CS
I wouldn’t be interested in wise but that’s p interesting
All you do is endure 1 year in wise virginia with literally nothing and maintain a 3.0 which tbf is easy as hell because theres nothing within 100 miles of wise to do
And guaranteed transfer
Interesting
HELPPP😭
Can I still transfer to McIntire after doing that
Do they have pre commerce at wise
Why tf is there even a college at wise
That place got 10 people
yeah
prob not but i think pre commerce is mostly second year
its a rlly small school
For anyone who attends here, is UVA generous when it comes to financial aid/merit? I visited the campus and it is beautiful, I have the grades and extracurriculars to get accepted, but is it affordable?
I am a maryland guy so I would be paying out of state
I understand it is all subjecteve, but from your experience do they give out much? because this is expensive as shit
Use uva net price calculator to figure out how much you would be paying
Nah UVAs free
where that at
UVA net price calculator
Hell no
this?
Sure
Yeah I dont like that
Yo
Yah?
You’re good at Java right
Yes why?
AP CSA?

Like it says it turns a primitive into an object
But what the fuck
Like that does not make sense bro 😭😭
Like why turn it into an object
Wrapper class just contains different types like float boolean stuff like that
OHHH
So integers is the super class
Integers is like the overarching thing
And int and those things fall under them?
@velvet minnow
Basically yes
So can you explain in this why the wrapper class had to be used
Instead of the primitive?
For insta and doubles?
Huge bug in this code
Extra space in line 11
Space doesn’t matter
Yes it does
It will break
Go up in flames
Also the { in line 4 should be at the end of line 3 after a space
Otherwise you will die
bc Java classes only accept objects
So if we want to edit the arguments passed into them then we need a wrapper clas
Oh if we put an int in there it won’t accept it?
Like are wrapper classes have the same thing as primitive?
Like if int = 2
And you have Integer = 2
Both of them equal 2
But Java only accepts the wrapper class version of it?
@velvet minnow
Yes
So you have to put int (variable name) = 2
Ngl I forgot exactly what wrapper classes r
But typing Integer wouldn’t do anything unless you put int before it
What
Explain this 😂
Are you talking about data types ? 😂
Yes
I see
What’s the issue?
issue is that I have a 100 in CSA but have no idea what a wrapper class is
But I don’t believe you need that in csa
I wing it
Yes I do
It was like the first unit
^
Scroll up
So pretty much
I just need answer to this
A wrapper is something which is encapsulates a type, so say the type is long the wrapper class is Long. You can see something similar with delegated properties in kotlin, those are a little more advanced but worth reading into.
Wrapper classes in many cases have a way to transform between object and primitive
Ok let me see
pretty sure it would? int is just short of integer like str is short for string
So what’s the issue here
Yeah I see no issue I’m confused
Where’s the problem 😂
yeah
I think he’s asking if you can replace integer with int in this
Line 5
cause I always use int
also wtf is intValue()
cant you just put the name
Wouldn’t it print the same thing
like
System.out.print(i);
So you can’t rlly change it to isn’t without changing the actual other stuff
Wouldn’t that print 2
It would print the objects toString method
this a integer where did string come from
No
i don’t get cs
Bruh
Where
public String toString()
Returns a String object representing this Integer's value. The value is converted to signed decimal representation and returned as a string, exactly as if the integer value were given as an argument to the toString(int) method.
If you simply print the object
It’ll call that
Oh
Ok it’s 2am I’m going to bed 👋
Same
Failing physics and cs tomorrow
I ain’t a stem bro
Still applying engineering to VT
They meet 100% need so whatever ur fafsa (although they will calculate ur efc themselves but it was very close in my experience)
s1ns
Bro is going to community college
Already got rejected
I’m going to McDonalds
What am i getting on the physics test
If u guess wrong u have to tutor me
If you guess right u get 300 rocket league credits
91💅
100
Ye
how are the uva women
I like the one I’m talking to rn
Yeah i need to know too
Cause W&M are like 4/10
I need to know if UVA women are atleast a 6
I got the smart kids lunch table to talk about what colleges they want to apply to today 💀
Asian male Bud with 4.0 but no ecs thinks he has a shot at Harvard
I’m not telling him
As long as none of them ED UVA 🙏
Real
‘Asian male bud’💀
Sad reality
If I wasn’t Asian male I wouldn’t be worrying about getting rejected from UVA anyways
lol
What happened to gaming tip
I leave the server to focus
Coke semi finalist
Luck imo
How so?
I don't think a computer decides Coke Semi-Finalists
Well it does
But like it's on a point system
Needa hack the computer system to give me it then
You can do that right
Give it to urself too
If you can’t hack in ur not worthy of MIT
:tehe
u do know it dont even matter anymore lmao
Oh yah they struck it down
But I mean technically
Any admissions officer can make up any reason as to why they denied someone
yes but like if its a top school if ur anywhere near qualified it is reviewed by a number of people
and if they want to accept someone u gotta pressent to a committee so
I know but what I'm saying is if
An institution (not necessarily UVA)
Comes together and decides: Hey, we have too many X ethnicity/race so we aren't going to admit any X ethnicity/race. There isn't much stopping them from cororborating each other stating that individual 1 didn't have a high enough SAT score to be competitive iwth the rest or maybe hsi ECs weren't competitive
Not to say that, in reality, it doesn't matter
But there is the potential highly unlikely chance
I like the new AA prompt im ngl
AA?
that is very extremely unlikely
if u have the stats ur simply goin to get what u deserve
Negative inaction but the opposite
The server deletes it when its spelt out
For some reason
lmfao
cuz of some pretty heated debates that got not so inclusive of all ykwim
Positive action
ye
Imma wait for enxt years stats just to point out that the same proportion of ppl got in to each school
imagine they don't
honestly thinking of switching to mac but chilling with wsl rn
I use mac laptop 10000%
PC just better for gaming
my prediction is if anth changes its likely only going to be the num of yt ppl
if ppls assumptions bout AA were tru i shld be at brown rn
i game but increasingly less since i came to college
hence y im thinking of switching
I kinda stopped gaming, rlly only play the new cod each year for 2 months or so
What are u guys taking abt
Real
I ran out of gamepass
On Xbox
Unbeknownst to me
So I just stoooed
I’m just on ig and tik tok half the time
And then playing Roblox w my friends and playing horror games
That’s it
Roblox horror games w your friends are so fun tbf
Yea im at college and using a macbook
Got a pretty nice desktop tho at home which I might bring next sem
Bc im finding myself to actually be pretty introverted in college
I’m hoping to not be a loser in college
Being introverted in college would suck I feel like
main reason i game les is simply cuz im not at home that often anymroe
clubs ~~part1es ~~friends yk
I mean i have friends but my first year is much different
gmu is massive commuter school
Most people come here for class, go home, and then hang out with their high school friend groups
Also its different when you approach socialization with “im here for 4 years” vs “i want to leave here asap”
I guarantee u UVA don’t want 50% NOVA npc Asians on campus
They def gonna find a way
I would be fine with it if they didn’t consider it tho
Are you interested in transfer?
Yeah im planning on transferring to uva if i get in
Maybe u do
BRO
i assure u that there wont be all that many that will 1. meet all the grade and ec requirements + fire essay and 2. That will then pick UVA seeing as they can likely get in somewhere else/better they usually come here for financial reasons ig
True
They all got massive egos
No way they ED UVA
Their parents wouldn’t sign the agreement either
Okay guys
I’m in a pickle
I made a common app account
Like 11 days ago
And I haven’t done much since

Just do it bruh
I’ll give you 10$ if you submit your UVA application before the month ends
Deadass?
Maybe
i aint gon lie nobody gon motivate u to do wutchu need to do just give u advice if u got a question
Well this was my motivation
Thank you s1ns !
so true
just gotta do ur shit tbh
no one can make u do it unless u want to
You can’t have motivation to do everything you need to do in life
You need some discipline
Postal?
Bro tryna be unique and mail it in 😭
LMAO
I asked my teacher and he’s known for writing godly rec letters
His only condition is that he refuses to submit them online .
🙂
oh
fr
💀is he old
The average teacher age is 42
Where did bro get this data from😭🙏
Seems accurate
damn 💀
And you
You get credit to
Thanks guys 🙏
Ea and ed deadlines r November 1st right
So I still got time
?
I got it from the national center for education statistics lol @ornate spear
This is the Schools and Staffing Survey web site. On this site researchers can find out about SASS items that may be relevant to their work, survey respondents can learn more about the survey they
Imo the oldest teachers r the best ones
They know how to teach
It’s an art form really
I like younger teachers
Ok TheYoungNerd
Average junior not getting into UVA
Average delusional MIT applicant
That’s not funny mr 3.8 gpa
3.6 🤓
Me too
Idk what this calculator is on but I’m getting in fr
Ignore sophomore year I slacked off
Thank you @mortal vortex and @hard ridge You guys have motivated me to work on the commonapp essay 🔥🔥
@calm wagon for more motivation unironically i think having a fire essay wouldve clinched me getting in, or ay least waitlisted which is enough to go to wise and then transfer in
I waited until 1.5 hours before the app was due
My essays were ass
Like for ea/ed or rd?
Like you wrote the essays for uva an hour before the ea/ed or rd deadline?
@bold zodiac
So November 1st?
Wait so when it says the deadline
Like for ea/ed
Is it saying to submit before that date
Or submit by that date
You started like the whole essay process for uva 1.5 hours before the deadline?
Some schools have weird times but most schools, including uva, are by midnight that day
Yeah
Yeah
Definitely not
Im starting on my transfer essays now
And the deadline is march 1st 💀
Get @bold zodiac When do u find out

5/1
Yeah
They take spring sem mid semester grades into consideration
Notified last few days of april
Which is crazy bc gmu’s housing application deadline is 5/1
So i will need to commit to uva like day of
Wait where do you go rn?
sure
hope you get in
its weird
Wait where do you guys see the supp
I think I might be blind
Cause i was fillingnou the other main info
And I see like the commonAPP essay we have to write where we pick from the promptd provided
But where r I guys finding the supps
UNDER ACADEMICS of the application questions
pick a major and hten it'll show up
OHHHHHH
TY
So supps are additional essays that we have to write on top of the commonapp essay of our choosing from the prompts provided to us?
@mortal vortex
arent u applying on nov 1st 💀
yes they are
they're extra essays for colleges
stuff like "why do you wanna study at xyz college" or "why do you want to study xyz major"
nah its just quite late 💀
Never too late to advocate or ask questions 🙏
That’s what my teacher said
Okay now you’re making it seem worse for me ☠️ got me stressing out at 3 in the morning
TRUE BUT
YOU SHOULD PROBABLY START
dw you got time just
figure it out quick man
you got this
Bruh
Which is overkill
No school has 6 except like Ivy League lol
And Virginia tech for some reason
Who do they think they are💀
Do the supps vary
dont think so
its very generic
about a community
not about major
Oh why then have I seen stuff saying there are like school specific prompts?
Like I swear I heard someone or have seen somehwere
Where people say uva has school specific prompts
But I can’t seem to find where they pulled that info from
pls lmk lol
Yeah at least for last year uva had a small question, like 100 words max, for each of their colleges
I think I’m just fucking stupid
Prompts change every year 😭
Wait
Yeah
Don’t prompts usually change every year 😭😭
at uva??
idts
Late reply but I really appreciate this response, got my hopes up. Thanks man
hey friends, applied to uva like 3 weeks ago for ED, let's find out if im an academic weapon 💪💪
S1ns I did it I freaking did it 🥳 WE GOT AN ESSAY DONE (im going to review it) BUT WE GOT AN ESSAY DONE
We getting somewhere 🙏
w
Thank you guys for indirectly giving motivation 🙏 sheep and sins
ofc
W
Okay on second though
I’m having regrets about what I wrote
I don’t fucking know what to do
Because I shouldve knew that my topic would’ve been a pretty popular one in regards to what I want to study but now I’m having second thoughts about it 🙁
:(
What was the topic
Legos
But like the thing is
It’s something I love
Like I have a whole Lego collection
But after realizing
A lot of people write about legos
R u architecture or mech eng
Who specifically also want to go into engineering
I mean
If ur creative bout it then
Idt legos is too popular for cs
But they admit by school not major at UVA
Like this is not even my supp it’s my personal statement
?
Wdym
They admit by school @calm wagon
If you're applying to the E-School then Legos might be overused
But to the college of arts & science I don't think so
But if you're really passionate about it then sitll do it
hi
i rlly hope i get accepted even tho my ecs are weak i think my essays will carry
i’m trying to start a club before nov 1 to add to apps
Don't think too hard about it. It's easy to go down the rabbit hole of "My ECs are weak my Essays may carry" or "My SAT score is low so my essays/ecs will carry" or just the thing of trying to chance yourslef based upon others just do ur best 🙂
thanks man
i hope ur right but i heard only the top 10 of the class at my HS get accepted
To UVA?
what part
I’ll dm
He definitely NOVA
Bro writing about legos 😭
Can’t hate but that’s elementary shit
…
Why do you have something against legos
Nah I built legos too
Back in 5th grade
Crazy shit
But it got nothing to do with engineering or cs or whatever
You just follow the instructions
There’s no skill
Who said you have to follow the instructions?
tbf same was for me but my class rank was 200/600 and got in lol
but my essays ecs and score were a lot better than my gpa (which i explained y it was the case)
i mean it probably looks like u started it simply for college apps unless its sth ur passionate bout and perhaps u write bout it
Why are you shitting on me and my legos
You’re acting like legos are for kids only dawg
ppl write bout cooking which in a sense is just following instructions
Putting things together?
what ur writing has nothing to do with the perceived skill its about what can they understand bout u and ur passion from what youve written
so its more boutr how they connect legos to their bigger picture and goals and aspirations not just the fact that they think legos cool
Wdym? Like jusr bc what I write might not directly correlate with what I want to study it’s still okay?
i mean my essay was me talking bout moving frequently in a sense
didnt hv muvh to do with my major just more to do with my goals and aspirations
ik someone who wrote about her love for makiong rice and shes aat MIT rn lmao
altho they were the whole fucking package so yk
Okay I get that and it’s not it like also the personal statement?
Like isn’t the point of it to tell colleges about yourself?
yes
Or tell them something that you might not be able to mention in other parts?
So do I have do i have to directly correlate the personal statement with what I’m studying?
i mean theres a prompt
Yeah the commonapp prompt
no if they wanted to know that theyll ask
And I selected write about a topic that you could talk about t or something along those lines
So what would I mention then specifically besides just me talking about my legos being something I can talk about or get lost in
Like it basically talked about my love for legos and my passion for it
But if that’s the whole point of a personal statement then isn’t that just what I talk about?
Because I feel like I’m missing something
Like what other way should I approach the prompt?
Like you said u connected it w your goals and aspirations but how?
idk id hv to see it to give feedback
i mean i can show u my essay idc
should i submit a 1380 to uva
Is it above the percentile or whatever it’s called
Wait so when it says middle 50%
It’s saying the average sat score for uva is like between 1400 and 1540? Or is that the range between the lowest percentile and highest percentile?
thats between the 50-75
i believe
or it might 50-100
that'd be wack
Middle 50% range means 25th percentile to 75th percentile
If ur grades r strong id go TO
Define strong
im so confused for the first supp
should we emphasize the personal strengths part
or community
or diversity
or all 3?
my grades are pretty strong
this isnt one of those schools were a low test school is better than no test score right
Ye
my guy
if u get a 1550
ur getting into UVA
lol
unless ur gpa is a 2.7 uw
Optional: If you have a personal or historic connection with UVA, and if you’d like to share how your experience of this connection has prepared you to contribute to the University, please share your thoughts here. Such relationships might include, but are not limited to, being a child of someone who graduated from or works for UVA, a descendant of ancestors who labored at UVA, or a participant in UVA programs.
Do I need to do this? Ik people say do optional, but I have no connection.
No one in my family has went to college or anything so
No
Not with all the other 1550 kids from nova
It’s genuinely optional
If you did any uva program tho talk abt in
Transfer app has rhe same question and Im gonna talk abt how uvas public observatory nights got me into astronomy
Dawg what
First of all aren’t college acceptances like random basically
Aren’t you a junior too
Why are you stressing so bad
Just chill out
Anyways you gonna regret talking down on my legos 🙏
Damn
no
The idea of “the college lottery” is only made by people who didn’t get in
I be in my stress phase every few days
You gonna be talking all over about how MIT is a lottery then
Putting Harvard ‘29 in my bio soon
I got the luck 🙏
Be careful what you attempt to manifest
Likely it will be your fate
I tryna manifest UVA 2029 💀
unhappening
See you at MIT then
I will be there

Same shit I would do with Ithaca College
Sneak into Cornell
They would never notice
okay okay
Huh.. It's that simple?
I mean..1550 is not ez but
no its not 💀
u can still be rejected with a 1550 sat
That's what I thought
No but if you can get a 1550 have a gpa above a 3.5 with a good personality you are fine
Even oos?
No
I would've thought it was harder with a 21% acceptance rate
Sad
It’s lower for oos
Atleast I have NC state
Yup

Inferior school
No school in the Carolinas can compare to UVA
Imo William and Mary and VT both better than FraudNC Chapel Hill
Blud forgot all about duke

Understandably
Imo UVA cooks them
the food situation is overexaggerated imo
jus sayin theres more than jus dining halls on grounds 💀
pfft um kinda i mean ohill has a veg station and salads
as to how good it is idk
Nearby?
I’ve never had raising canes down in the beach area
Yuh like 5 mayge 10 minutes off campus @calm wagon
REALLY??
Is canes as goated as ppl make it out to be?
Yes
@hard ridge Have you been to raisin canes?
Probs not since ur a first year with no car
but that drive thru is atrocious like A T RO C I O U S
the tightest corner EVER
The drive thru is terrible
Have you went in a car?
I have almost side swiped that fucking mountain every damn time
nah
Wallahi I’m finished
Gonna stink the dorm room up cooking eggs and shit every day
Or wherever students cook
What would you rate it?
Is it like anything fantastic?
Like do you wake up and think to yourself “I can’t wait to go to the dining hall”
Or is the food like some highschool lunch level type shit
Where it isn’t bad, but it isn’t necessarily something u look forward to
I mean it depends
Dining hall wise there are like 3
Newcomb and ohill r like a step or two above dining hall food
More options and higher quality ofc but nothing great
Altho newcomb Wednesdays is fire cuz its wings
Runk is good but it gets repetitive cuz the burgers are the best thing they got and late night runk is rly good
Idk it just depends but some places are rly good a lot r mid
But the food is most definitely a step down compared to like tech and jmu?
3/5 or 3/10
But it’s serviceable?
I meant the number of dining halls
Oh
Idk nun bout jmu lmao
But vt wen u was there there was only one hall open
But it’s considered a tier above uvas yes
Isn’t vt food sposed to be like t3 in the country?
Yeah
Supposedly
W eats
Well to yourself
If you had to rate the food
Like as a whole
What would you rate it
Out of 10
Like serviceable?
Or more than serviceable
Depends on where u go at best 9/10 at worst 5/10
Worst case u get u a pizza or a burger and fries
🤷🏾♂️
But like the food off campus like in the city are also good options?
What’s best case?
In your opinion
I can’t eat that everyday 😭
First years don’t rly go off grounds much cuz no car
Again that’s worst case lmao
They better have some makeshift chipotle
The food trucks r good especially this one rice bowl place
Build your own bowl or something
Ye we do bear first year housing
Near
How tf is it C- then
cuz i guess the actual dining halls r mid
except one
the overall food is not bad
and meal exchanges r part of ur meal plan so
When is UVA gonna send me a hoodie
#✨-celebration-station
I know they want me
stickers r lame
a little bit yeah
sry
apology NOT accepted
What?
Yes
Random goes from 0-0.99 and ur making it an int so if you get 0.99 it becomes 99 and u add 1 to get 100

what cs nerd
average not-CS-inclined APCSA student
oh woooooooooow
😂
calc test tomorrow and didn't study what am i getting chat
what the fuck
physics on the review packet wallahi im finished
ok thats prob just slope
still dont know how to do it
fuck
product rule?
uva never letting me in
Brotha 😭
g’(x)f(x) + g(x)f’(x)
2t x sin(t) + t^2 x cos(t)
Plug in pi/2
Oh
