University of Virginia (UVA) (2023-2024)

[uneven carbon]

nice

[calm wagon]

But

Yeah

I’m just trying to apply uva straight up

[sonic frigate]

#🎓-commitments message @hard ridge Did you transfer to uva

[hard ridge]

No got off the waitlist (originally committed to UW Madison great school for cs tbh but got off UVA wl which is closer to home,same price, relatively warm)

[calm wagon]

Fuck man

Fuck

Fuck

Fuckkkk

I’m stressing

[woven brook]

where did u transfer from

[woven brook]

do u have other schools ur applying to

[sonic frigate]

Uw Madison

[calm wagon]

Tech, uva, gmu, odu, vcu, jmu, uva wise, w&m

I already got accepted to odu

[woven brook]

i used to go to odu

[calm wagon]

Yeah I rlly want to go to uva bc of their student support services

As someone who disabilities

I just heard about UVAs support thing

And now I’m like in love

[mortal vortex]

are u in a wheelchair

[woven brook]

i’ve heard w&m has good support services too

[mortal vortex]

can i ask u a question about people in wheelchairs

[calm wagon]

No

I’m

Just

Mentally diffeeent

[mortal vortex]

oh

fair

still let me ask u

would someone in a wheelchair be offended if i nicknamed him "wheels"

[calm wagon]

Like I have an iep that gives Me like “cheat codes”

[mortal vortex]

its a cool nickname yk he should be proud

[calm wagon]

Or that’s what other people call them

[mortal vortex]

but would that be insensitive

[calm wagon]

But it isn’t a cheat code to me

[calm wagon]

Idk

[mortal vortex]

💀

[woven brook]

i had a 504 plan in hs

i think iep is the next step up

i had disability services at odu @calm wagon

[hard ridge]

just switched commitments ig

from uw mad

[hard ridge]

oh sdac is rly good i heard but ion rly have any experience with them personally

[calm wagon]

Yeah ik!

That’s what I wanted to talk about as well

I know uva and odu both have good student support services

[calm wagon]

What’s that?

[hard ridge]

student disability access center

[bold zodiac]

Im gonna be honest as much as i dunk on gmu gmu has really good disability services

Even tho i dont need them

[calm wagon]

Isn’t it like a commuter school though

So like

That’s my only like

Concern kinda

Cause I won’t be a commuter

[bold zodiac]

Well i mean ir still has 5000+ students on campus/living close and even then many accommodations are for classes themselves (like extra time)

They still need a rlly competent disability services compartment, 2nd largest school in va after nvcc

For example I have a friend who has access to the note taking software glean for free from the school as an accommodation

She lives on campus but even if she didnt live on campus she would have access to the same accommodations

Accommodations for housing are common ik

For example the freshman dorm complex i live in is not entirely accessible to ppl with wheelchairs (no elevators), but theres still other freshman housing options that have accessible floors and even jn my complex the first floors of most buildings are handicap accessible

Like i can send a pic soon it you want but we have the doors where you press Button and door opens automatically after you can key

Ultimately @calm wagon most schools, esp public schools are gonna have pretty good disability offices bc they want federal aid and/or are being scared of getting sued and va is really good abt having a pretty solid secondary education system im ngl, even our “worst” 4 years like radford are still pretty decent

[sonic frigate]

Hello my fellow virginians

[tulip shard]

hi

[fallen cairn]

I fear we cannot call people virgins instead of Virginians anymore

[shell sonnet]

L

[hard ridge]

L

[calm wagon]

L

[calm wagon]

I’m gonna write some banger essays

[calm wagon]

S1ns

Can we get a room tour

[velvet minnow]

new dorms r pretty comfy

[hard ridge]

Focused on the right side since it’s mine but I’d like to blame the mess on finals

[devout flicker]

Oh wow thats p nice

What dorm hall?

[hard ridge]

lile maupin

they not the biggest but its alright

if we got all the shit out the way thered be space but im either at my computer in bed or at my girls place so i couldnt care less tbh

[devout flicker]

Is it like a reasonable walk away from academic halls and library etc

[hard ridge]

ye i mean

theres a dining hall ~1 min from me

nearest library is clark which is about 10 min walk i thjink maybe 15

engineering school is sub 10 mins

[calm wagon]

What’s the best dorm hall

[hard ridge]

for first years?

[devout flicker]

Oh ok thank u

[calm wagon]

Yeah

And how do you end up knowing what dorm hall u live in

Is it random

[hard ridge]

well u dont rly get a choice like at all but id say old dorms for location and they got renovated recently

[hard ridge]

yep

u can only pick ur roommate

[calm wagon]

Ah

[hard ridge]

they jus lyk what u got sometime in summer

[calm wagon]

I thought you can pick

[devout flicker]

Even if you apply early action?

[hard ridge]

dont matter

they dont want ppl to pay more for a dorm

[devout flicker]

Oh ok

[hard ridge]

aftyer first year yes

but a lot of ppl go off grounds

upper classmen housing ranges from way better to way worse than first year

but more competitive to get

[devout flicker]

I know u need to apply for the dorms nearest the rotunda

[hard ridge]

but majority of the housing is good so i wouldfnt worry bout it

[hard ridge]

ye thats mainly 4th years +pplp who have done shit for the school or sumn

[devout flicker]

Oh ok cause i know other college housing can be p hit or miss

[hard ridge]

well

not all of it is good

the motels are prolly the worst

(its called that cuz its literally motels turned dorms)

but not many ppl get that

[devout flicker]

Oh ik the ones ur talking abt

They do stand out a lot lol

[hard ridge]

gooch/dillard is a nice 3 or 4 ppl suite and next to arguably the best dinign hall but its far af

[devout flicker]

Oh dang

[hard ridge]

new dorms where i live is pre nice and hotel style + near a dining hall but its like a decent walk to central

[calm wagon]

What’s rotunda

[hard ridge]

old dorms is like across the engineering school and decent location + close to the most food but not next ot anth

[calm wagon]

And how do you live off grounds

[devout flicker]

The building with the dome on ut

[calm wagon]

Mortals??

[hard ridge]

hv u ever seen the uva logo? its that

[calm wagon]

Motels??

[devout flicker]

Let me see if i have a pic

[hard ridge]

u get an apartment

but all first years hv to live on grounds

[calm wagon]

Oh the big circle thing

[hard ridge]

ya

[calm wagon]

Isn’t that like

Expensive

[hard ridge]

i mean ye

but if ur paying full price + have ppl to room with it balances out i think

im not so on grounds wins

[velvet minnow]

bro you've never been to the rotunda

[calm wagon]

But yoyd have to buy your own furniture and shit

[calm wagon]

Dude

I’ve never been to fucking uva

[hard ridge]

a lot of them r furnished cuz its colelge kids

[velvet minnow]

oh yyou've never been to UVA rip

[calm wagon]

Yeah

[velvet minnow]

Rotunda is where the lawn is hence the "walk the lawn" during graduation

[calm wagon]

I was gonna go on a a school trip

But it got full

[devout flicker]

Its beautiful in the fall

[velvet minnow]

too cold

[calm wagon]

They leave the furniture?

[devout flicker]

October its pretty nice

[devout flicker]

Ok no rotunda here but this is the lawn

[hard ridge]

no its just furnished lmao

by the apartment

[hard ridge]

for like a week then ur depressed

[devout flicker]

oh 💀

[hard ridge]

(weather + finals)

i personally despise the cold

[devout flicker]

I like it but it means bringing a bunch of crap everywhere

[hard ridge]

tru

where i grew up was like

90 all year round

so i almost exclusively wear hoodies here

[devout flicker]

Ohh damn yeah va weather is probs rough then lol

youll get used to it tho

[hard ridge]

ive been here 2 years and still ahte it

[devout flicker]

Omg 😭😭

[hard ridge]

altho this is way better than where i was sposed to go to school

[devout flicker]

Where were u supposed to go?

[hard ridge]

@devout flicker what major

[hard ridge]

wisconsin maadison

[devout flicker]

I applied for materials sci and engineering but im also thinking ab ds

[hard ridge]

word

[devout flicker]

Oh yeah idk much about wisconsin lol

What about u?

[hard ridge]

comp sci like half the school

[devout flicker]

Damn thats under a&s right

[hard ridge]

its in the eschool and a&s but im a&s ye

personally think bacs is better in 9/10 cases

[devout flicker]

Whats bacs

oh ba in cs?

[hard ridge]

if ur not like mentally unable to wwrite a decent essay and u dont hv a very specific engineering purpose then bacs>>>

[hard ridge]

ye

a&s= bacs
eschool= bscs

[devout flicker]

Whats the difference between ba and bs

I would think that bs has less writing

[hard ridge]

just ur gen eds

bs u hv to do calc 1-3 linear and some other stuff like chem and physics

ba u hv to do all the cs classes but like no clac req or none of the other stuff but more poiintless classes

[devout flicker]

Oh weird

[hard ridge]

but they r easier ofc

[devout flicker]

Yeah

[hard ridge]

like my classes next sem r
data structures
discrete math
intro to astro
poetry writing and some other geneds

[uneven carbon]

wait whats a gened

[devout flicker]

Interesting that they dont make u do calc classes

[hard ridge]

general education requirement

[uneven carbon]

oh

[hard ridge]

i mean im doing calc 2 rn but i didnt have to

so i regret it

[uneven carbon]

it doesnt have to be major related?

[hard ridge]

no just has to be the school ur in

[devout flicker]

oh RIP

[hard ridge]

u have to do ur major requirements

[uneven carbon]

oh

[hard ridge]

regardless

but u prolly do 1-2 major classes a semester

more the closer u get to grad

since u fulfill pre requisites and get more classes

[devout flicker]

yes some gen eds u can also do over the summer i think

[hard ridge]

ye

also theres sumn called j term

so do a class in like 2 weeks in january before spring starts

[cosmic dagger]

uva campus is so nice

[mortal vortex]

that monitor set up is fire

what all is it

[trim notch]

Did you guys see that they released their ED info

dec 13th at 7-9pm

and 500+ more ED applicants than last year

They started reviewing in October and all decisions are now done

[cosmic dagger]

HUHH

AHHH

[uneven carbon]

Omg 😭

Wait where did u see this

[sonic frigate]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/s/SZ1NRiHgzo

@calm wagon SHOOT YPUR SHOT BUDDY!! LEGO ESSAYS ARE CRACKED

[cosmic dagger]

yeah i'm having trouble finding where it is

[devout flicker]

gl to everyone who applied ed!!

[cosmic dagger]

thanks

[cosmic dagger]

where you see this

oh it's on dean j's livestream or something

[uneven carbon]

Ty

[uneven carbon]

what platofrm

[cosmic dagger]

her actual livestream wasn't recorded but i found on some collegeconfidential like website it was announced on nov 16 or something

[velvet minnow]

Anyone got an email or anything from Jeffs? @stoic comet

"By early December, you should receive a confirmation after your nomination form has been reviewed by Foundation staff."

no confirmation

[stoic comet]

Nope

[mortal crater]

are you sure you aren't looking at last year's info https://news.virginia.edu/content/historic-application-year-uva-offers-entry-nearly-6000-early-action-cycle#:~:text=On Dec.,attend the University if accepted.

[hard ridge]

shi laptop +monitor set up, latop like a rtx 3060 i think and ryzen 5k series and the monitor is like a benq 165 hz one

[mortal vortex]

DAMN

SOLID BRU

[turbid garnet]

send the link bro

[cosmic dagger]

https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1168361.page

i think she didn’t save the live but that’s probably where the guy got the information

and some schools have it published if they’re in charlottesville area i think

[turbid garnet]

am i tripping cus i dont see the mention of dec 13 release

[cosmic dagger]

yeah i think i was gasligthing myself to believe that

idt its real

[shell sonnet]

Well they typically release them early for ED rounds

I was looking at data since 2019

it looks like there may be a post on Notes From Peabody tomorrow night

(i am also crazy so take it with a grain of salt)

Also, they released decisions for ED last year on the 13th

but the trend seems to be the Friday prior to the one they name as the "by date"

They just say the "by date" because they can ensure finishing the applications

[shell sonnet]

who wants to manifest acceptance with me

[cosmic dagger]

they do release it earlier but it's just based on when they're done

and they tell us the day before theyre going to release it

[cosmic dagger]

me ong bruh

i'm act so scared

[shell sonnet]

me too but it's okay!!

my friends are taking me out for sushi on friday to either be celebration sushi or condolance sushi

i come from a poor(er) county where only like 1/5 of graduates go to college so i get the fears

oh also have some data to share with you guys, it might not mean anything but i'm just keeping it in mind!

So for the past 4 years, UVA has released early decision notifications the second week of December, on that Friday (with the exception of last year) instead of the 3rd week of December, and Dean J releases a blog post on Wednesday night 2 days before decisions are released, and of course, she clarifies this on the post, but that makes it sound like a post is possible for tomorrow night. that's just the trends I've noticed looking further into it

I have ss too btw

nvm can't send those 💀

[shell sonnet]

you'll get in, you have nothing to worry about !

[cosmic dagger]

no chance it's tmrw night

they had 300 more ed applications than last year

[cosmic dagger]

same u too

[shell sonnet]

yes, however they seem to meet those deadlines each time

and it isn't tomorrow night

[cosmic dagger]

oh yeah fas

fs

[shell sonnet]

but dean j may release a post confirming a date

[cosmic dagger]

ohh that's what you mean

i thought you meant they gonna post the decision tmrw night

[shell sonnet]

yeah sorry 💀

[cosmic dagger]

and i was like aint now ay

[shell sonnet]

no, they release on them on fridays normally with the exception of last yea

year

[cosmic dagger]

yu

[shell sonnet]

but looking at the trends it seems maybe a decision this friday

idk

[cosmic dagger]

THIS FRIDAY?

no way

[shell sonnet]

but it can also be speculation, but this is what i'm doing to rationalize it so i don't go crazy 😭

[cosmic dagger]

nah its gonna be next week thursday

calling i

it

[shell sonnet]

NO it isn't confirmed like I said, that's my guess based on what they've done for the last 4 years

[cosmic dagger]

ohio state in 2 days

[shell sonnet]

UoSC dec 15 🦾

[cosmic dagger]

southern cal or south caro

[shell sonnet]

South Carolina

the way i'm rationalizing it is by saying i got into UCD which has a 20% acceptance rate which is harder to get into than UVA given everything on my app

[cosmic dagger]

UC davis?

[shell sonnet]

my friend is going there for the same thing i want to go to uva for so it would be fun

[cosmic dagger]

how do you get your results back this early

[shell sonnet]

no university college dublin

[cosmic dagger]

you submitted it like 6 days ago

ohhh

[shell sonnet]

some are rolling admission

UCDublin is rolling admission

[cosmic dagger]

i thought you meant uc as in university of california

[calm wagon]

Me

[cosmic dagger]

as in uc davis, uc berkely, ucla, etc

[shell sonnet]

well i submitted my UVA app september 15 😭

[calm wagon]

Geez!

I’m working on my rd app

[cosmic dagger]

goddamn i submitted night befoer

[shell sonnet]

no sorry 💀

[cosmic dagger]

3 months waiting time is insane

[shell sonnet]

I KNOW I REGRET IT SO MUCH

not really tho because nothing on my application changed

[calm wagon]

How

[shell sonnet]

im just going crazy w the waiting time

[calm wagon]

That seems standard

[cosmic dagger]

she submitted september 15 and is getting her decision dec 15

[shell sonnet]

it isn't unusual but people usually send them in closer to the deadline hence the longer waiting time

[calm wagon]

Oooooo

[cosmic dagger]

but you could've submitted nov 1 and get your decision dec 15

which is like 1.5 month waiting time

[calm wagon]

My friends already got their w&m decisions

[cosmic dagger]

damn fr?

[shell sonnet]

ED?

[cosmic dagger]

ed?

[calm wagon]

I just hope I get in so I can take advantage of the sdac

Yeah

[shell sonnet]

slayed

[cosmic dagger]

i kind of think i should've done ed to w&m

idk

we'll see

but uva is def better

[shell sonnet]

uva feels more homey to me tbh

[calm wagon]

Wo a doubt

[cosmic dagger]

uva campus was so nice

[calm wagon]

I just want it

[cosmic dagger]

like it's actually so chill and act feels like a college campus

[calm wagon]

Because their sdac is nice from what I heard

[shell sonnet]

i do love w&m tho it's just not for me i think

[cosmic dagger]

their tuition is too expensive too

[calm wagon]

If not

[shell sonnet]

i'm sorry but what is a sdac

[calm wagon]

I’m just gonna transfer from cc

[calm wagon]

Student disability

Center thing

[shell sonnet]

OHHHHH

slayed

[calm wagon]

V helpful

[cosmic dagger]

bro i was thinking of south dakota

[calm wagon]

😭

W&m is a good school

But I’m less than an hour away

[cosmic dagger]

i was wondering why you would want to go to school in south dakota

[calm wagon]

I’m literally in Virginia Beach

[shell sonnet]

yeah for me uva is 1h30m

[calm wagon]

It’s too close for me

Plus

[cosmic dagger]

damn richmond is better (dmv is the best)

[calm wagon]

W&m

Seems boring

Like wtf do you do

I mean

You have Busch gerdens

And

Water country

[shell sonnet]

w&m seems to modernized for me, considering what i want to do

[calm wagon]

But colonial Williamsburg???

[cosmic dagger]

uva is like 1 hour and 45 min from my house

[calm wagon]

Really?

I’m 3 hours away

[cosmic dagger]

i live in richmond

[shell sonnet]

dude i work at KD and that is literally traumatizing

[cosmic dagger]

well not richmond richmond

[calm wagon]

Virginia Beach is so far 😭

[cosmic dagger]

why not just va tech?

[shell sonnet]

theme park employees deserve therapy for what we see

[cosmic dagger]

if you're a stem major that's your second best choice and if you're engineering that's an even better choice

i'm kinda happy that uva lets you decide your major after you're in college

[calm wagon]

Every kid I met in this server from Virginia is from either nova or Richmond

[cosmic dagger]

cus what if you have a slight change in what you wanna do

[calm wagon]

Yeah but sdac

[shell sonnet]

for me i'm planning on majoring in Archaeology/Art History / Archaeology/French

[cosmic dagger]

ohh that's true

[calm wagon]

Virginia techs disability support isn’t bad

[cosmic dagger]

uva def the best choice in va then

[calm wagon]

But I want the best of the best that I could possibly get

[cosmic dagger]

maybe w&m but again lac depend a lot on you

[shell sonnet]

dude the nova kids scare me because i feel worse off compared to them like my school has zero resources

[cosmic dagger]

and how you utilize your opportunities

[shell sonnet]

that makes sense

[calm wagon]

Because it was already a hassle to get my accommodations down here for extended time during the sat/ap exams/ib exams

Cause they thought I was faking my shit

[shell sonnet]

my school has 2 ap classes offered 💀

[cosmic dagger]

their schools have good opportunities, you can't beat that lol

2 aps bruh

i've taken 10x + 3

[shell sonnet]

i know, but on apps i feel like uva would pick them over me without looking at everything ive done with what ive been given

[shell sonnet]

i genuinely just screamed

[cosmic dagger]

depends on your essays tbh

[shell sonnet]

i feel like it should be what i've done for my community since i've done so much

[calm wagon]

I mean

[cosmic dagger]

like if your school doesn't have the best resources and you tried to use as much as possible then it's fine and if you did liek community service or something

[calm wagon]

I feel like they would consider you still

In regards to your situation given

Like if you took the two APs

And tried to take all advanced classes

[shell sonnet]

i know but i'm a pessimist lmao

[cosmic dagger]

but if you didn't really do much outside of school then you're kinda not doing as much as those nova kids

like with your opportunities

[cosmic dagger]

me too

[shell sonnet]

yes i have taken all honors that i could and ive taken the 2 APs and im taking DE this year

[calm wagon]

Yeah dawg what do I do down here

Only thing fun to do in vb

Is ocean breeze

The beach

🤒

[bold zodiac]

also my gpa scale was on a 4.5 so it was all screwed

like

a was 4.3 a+ was 4.5 or something

[shell sonnet]

dude- i'm the only one applying to UVA this admission cycle from my school

[cosmic dagger]

how many ap

[shell sonnet]

my graduating class is 154 people

[calm wagon]

Too

That’s small

Shit

[bold zodiac]

uhhhh

[calm wagon]

Wair actually

I know my class rank

[shell sonnet]

i'm like #7 and the 6 other kids go to governors school

[calm wagon]

I’m not even top 25

[shell sonnet]

but we don't officially rank smh

[calm wagon]

Percent

I’m top 33

Which is an oddly specific

Percentage

[cosmic dagger]

top 33 ngl is hard for uva

[shell sonnet]

well i have a suspicion that i'm not that smart, just that the bar is really low where i go to school

[calm wagon]

You don’t have to tell me twice

[bold zodiac]

soph:
-ap euro i self studied for exam and got 4

-junior:
-apush 4
-ap lang 3
-ap psych 4

-senior:
-ap gov 4
-ap bio 2

[calm wagon]

I knew that when I made my college list

[bold zodiac]

yeah i was top 25%

[calm wagon]

Well shit

Ggs

🙏🙏🙏

[bold zodiac]

also did de english with richard bland sr yr

[shell sonnet]

i wish we ranked smh

[bold zodiac]

my essays fumbled too

[shell sonnet]

i did APUSH last year and am taking APgov this year

[calm wagon]

I hope my essays can make up for it

[bold zodiac]

my personal statement sounded good at thet ime but reflecting it was basically me being glad i was mediocore at swimming

[bold zodiac]

yeah

[calm wagon]

Because I have circumstances surrounding this whole thing

[bold zodiac]

this year my personal statement is COOKING

[calm wagon]

But I don’t want to rely on them

[shell sonnet]

i hope i have a chance compared to NOVA kids smh

[bold zodiac]

yeah if you do something really personal in your essay its rlly good

[shell sonnet]

my personal statement ate

[bold zodiac]

you prob will

[calm wagon]

I wrote about legos

And my love for legos

[shell sonnet]

thank you for the reassurance i do appreciate it

[calm wagon]

😃

[shell sonnet]

THAT WAS YOU

[calm wagon]

Who

[shell sonnet]

i kept seeing a lego essay mentioned just never checked the user

[calm wagon]

🤒😆😆

[bold zodiac]

ngl as much as they say they dont they compare HEAVILY to people from same school/district/region

[calm wagon]

Well fuck

I’m fc#ycked

The valedictorian in my grad class

[bold zodiac]

thats why you have people getting rejected thomas jefferson high school in fairfax who get into mit

[calm wagon]

Has a 4.5 weighted

[shell sonnet]

i wrote about trying to live up to my mothers expectations and how it made me discover my love for community service

[calm wagon]

I’m so done for

😭😭

[bold zodiac]

nah

you can clutch

[shell sonnet]

is there a particular way to tell what region you are in

idk if im richmond or tidewater

[calm wagon]

Wait

You’re Richmond…?

[bold zodiac]

i mean regions are subjective rlly

[shell sonnet]

let me get a map up

[bold zodiac]

i know uva admissions have different teams of AOs for different regions

idk the borders

like dean j has a team that looks at all of the apps from fairfax + OOS apps from new england

[calm wagon]

All I know is I’m from Virginia Beach

And that’s already a lot of competition

A girl from my school graduated with a 5.0 last year

And is now at darty

😆

[shell sonnet]

theres only one kid from my school that applied early decision

and maybe 5 early action

[bold zodiac]

yeah thats good

[shell sonnet]

that is me for context

[bold zodiac]

@calm wagon you applying for CAS?

[calm wagon]

?

[bold zodiac]

college of arts and sciecnes

the biggest school at uva

[calm wagon]

I wish

[bold zodiac]

that and the engineering school

[calm wagon]

I’m doing engineer school

[bold zodiac]

oof

[calm wagon]

For applied math + cs

🤒

[bold zodiac]

ik if you do cas and you get waitlisted

they let you go to uva wise for a year

[calm wagon]

UVA wise

Yeah

[bold zodiac]

and then if you have a 3.0 they transfer you to cville

[calm wagon]

Yeah I’m applying for the engineering school cause I want to show that I’m still capable of doing big boy math

[bold zodiac]

yeah

good luck with apps fr

i remember when rd came out

💀

i was pissed a certain someone got in who knew i wanted in

[calm wagon]

Nah I’m just worried that my grades might be too subpar

[bold zodiac]

and bro gloated to me

and i got a speeding ticket

[calm wagon]

So I’m tryna fall back on my circumstances in a sense to make up for it

But I’ve tremendously improved

[bold zodiac]

yeah

[calm wagon]

After getting an IEP

[bold zodiac]

college apps are really goofy

yeah thats good

[calm wagon]

I’m just hoping

[bold zodiac]

if you show good improvement ik they worship that

[calm wagon]

That all my other competition

For cs + applied math nerds

Go for tech

And not uva

Cause tech is the better choice

So I’m hoping I can get uva

[bold zodiac]

yeah

[calm wagon]

Cause I really want that sdac accommodations

[bold zodiac]

real

where else are you looking?

[calm wagon]

Odu

Jim

[shell sonnet]

guys i got the ss without my laptop blowing up from using google earth

[calm wagon]

Jmu

W&m

But that’s too close to Virginia Beach

LMFAO

[shell sonnet]

ah yes, Jim, my favorite college

[calm wagon]

tech ofc

Vcu

Gmu

[shell sonnet]

dude why can't i send images

[calm wagon]

Gnu honors + jmu honors

[bold zodiac]

gmu has a really good cs program and a pretty decent honors program and from what i know accomodations are pretty good

its a good school objectively

dont go tho if you want the "college experience"

[calm wagon]

Yeah

That’s what I was worried abt

[shell sonnet]

wait how do i get the perms role, i guess that's how ppl send images

[calm wagon]

Idk

Ask mod mail

[bold zodiac]

yeah

i live 50 aways from campus

[lapis hatch]

You send messages

And level up

[shell sonnet]

man i wont shut up 💀

[bold zodiac]

and i go home almost every weekend

[lapis hatch]

Have you ever left the server

[bold zodiac]

not because im homesick or whatever

but because theres nothing to do

[lapis hatch]

Like left and rejoined

[calm wagon]

I hope I can hopefully crack top 30% for my hs class rankings

[bold zodiac]

im home rn during reading days for a couple days

[calm wagon]

Not praying on anyone’s downfall

But

[bold zodiac]

because its dead

[calm wagon]

Someone’s senoritis has to kick in

If I graduate top 30% I’d be happy

[bold zodiac]

depending on how bad your grades were pre-iep top third of class is really good ngl

[calm wagon]

But 33% is still a accomplishment

[calm wagon]

Lmao it was virtual

So

Ofc it was bad

But it didn’t help I had undiagnosed problems

Along with no iep to help me

And doing ib on top of it

[calm wagon]

Barely any As

Mostly Bs

[shell sonnet]

i don't think i have

[calm wagon]

And a B- in my math class

[bold zodiac]

thats pretty good ngl

with virtual and no iep

imo

esp if your app stresses that

[shell sonnet]

the gifted kid burnout hit me HARD in 9th grade

[lapis hatch]

It says you’re at level 2

2.5

Basically

[shell sonnet]

what level do i have to be?

[lapis hatch]

3

[shell sonnet]

oh okay

[cosmic dagger]

gifted kid is such a bad influence

[calm wagon]

How do I stress that?

[bold zodiac]

essays and additional info

[calm wagon]

So I talk about it in my personal statement

[cosmic dagger]

so many kids never end up utilizing their potential

[calm wagon]

Or can I just keep my legos

[shell sonnet]

wdym, i probably agree but wdym 💀

OHH

[calm wagon]

Or never finding out that they have any

[bold zodiac]

if you want to, but on the commonapp theres a box that you can fill out to talk about anythign really

like

if someones mom died sophmore year and they barely scraped by with Cs and Ds

they can say that

[shell sonnet]

yeah being from a small school is like you're being told you're exceptional just to realize you're average compared to schools with more students, it's depressing

[bold zodiac]

and they wont really be penalized for having Cs and Ds

hold on lemme show you what it looks like on the transfer commonapp

@calm wagon

[shell sonnet]

i will become an academic weapon

(manifesting)

we are manifesting our UVA acceptances guys

[calm wagon]

Ah

I already filled up that spot with autism and talking about my iep

And how it affected me

[bold zodiac]

yeah thats good then

[shell sonnet]

getting rejected from uni of st andrews in scotland is starting my villain arc

uva is next.

dude i called student financial services once and they hung up on me

[calm wagon]

My friend got in w a 1200 sat but he took a lot of APs

I suck at writing so I just need to make sure

I make this the best

[shell sonnet]

im test optional

my clown scores do not need to be submitted

i need uva to accept me or i will implode at the sushi bar friday night

i will literally despawn

i would tear up sushi rn

the urge to be in the mountains is so real

[uneven carbon]

its joever

theres no way im getting in

this is for ed only btw

[shell sonnet]

hey that's not true

you can easily still have a really good chance

they have to take into consideration your circumstances

[uneven carbon]

i mean like

ig

[shell sonnet]

we got to hype each other up fr

[uneven carbon]

but i do doubt it

yeah thats true

[shell sonnet]

my gpa is a 4.2727 and i didn't submit scores but i'm the only one applying from my county AND i do a ton of stuff outside of school

grades and scores aren't everything

ik my school also offers nothing though

[uneven carbon]

only one from ur county???

damn

[shell sonnet]

small area

[uneven carbon]

oh

[shell sonnet]

everyone wants tech or w&m

[uneven carbon]

i see

[shell sonnet]

BUT that means i don't have to compete with the governors school kids 😎

[uneven carbon]

thats good

honestly

my relationship with uva is kinda weird

like

i want to like uva

like really like it

cuz its super prestigious and my ed school

but idk

never clicked with me

[shell sonnet]

how so?

[uneven carbon]

idk

[shell sonnet]

because i get that feeling

[uneven carbon]

ive visited tech a lot more

[shell sonnet]

w&m is like that, like i love it but it just doesn't feel right

[uneven carbon]

and i really liked the vibe

ive dreamed abt being a student at tech

n shit

never have for uva

[uneven carbon]

i see

[shell sonnet]

i've like dreamed about being a uva student dude and it feels so right and perfect and i'm literally trying to manifest acceptance, but i get that way with tech too, like never once have i thought about it, i don't even know why i applied

UVA is definitely my vibe but that's because i want to do humanities and classics

[uneven carbon]

yeah that makes sense

im doing engineering so its comparable to tech

[shell sonnet]

oh fs that makes sense

well do you want to go to tech over UVA?

just saw Dean J's insta post rip

maybe who knows tho

[uneven carbon]

i wouldnt say over

but i would still be happy to go tech

*go to

[uneven carbon]

damn

[shell sonnet]

you sound very conflicted 😭

which is real btw

[uneven carbon]

yeah

[shell sonnet]

well i do hope that everything works out for you

[uneven carbon]

thanks

[shell sonnet]

they are both great schools

[uneven carbon]

same for you as well

[shell sonnet]

it just depends on what feels right

[uneven carbon]

true

[shell sonnet]

thank you !!

we all will get in we gotta manifest it and maybe burn an APUSH text book

(APUSH literally traumatized me)

we got this

just start saying you got in then it will be true

i got into uva ✨

like that

[calm wagon]

Yo…

Where did you find this

😶

My gpa is so fuckin bad

3.9 weighted

Dawg

It’s ofer

[hard ridge]

Goodluck!

[velvet minnow]

s1ns

when is ur last exam @hard ridge

[hard ridge]

tru

[shell sonnet]

thank you 😭

[hard ridge]

what major r u

[hard ridge]

monday

i have calc 2 friday

cs monday

calc is like the only one im worried bout ig

first exam was like 79

second was 94

so if i get 85+ on the final id say im looking at B+ uncurved and then the curve is pretty heavy so praying for a A-

Anyways what imma say for yall is Goodluck with decisions I mean UVA is v hard to get into and trust me wen I say you will (most likely) end up where you need to be fr. And for the ED/EA folk I got deffered then waitlisted and ended up getting in so dont be too sad if you have to wait a bit more

[calm wagon]

Didn’t we go over this

Math

[hard ridge]

prolly

u thought math was arts and sciences

[calm wagon]

No

[calm wagon]

No

[hard ridge]

I*

[velvet minnow]

which 1?

[hard ridge]

for calc 2

we got exam 1 & 2 are 22.5% each and final 30%

[velvet minnow]

aho k

[uneven carbon]

i will try doing that

thanks

[shell sonnet]

ofc pookie

[velvet minnow]

No email from jeff scholars freaking me out

[shell sonnet]

wait what is this

an inaccurate measurement of data

not a bad thing but it doesn't take into account a bunch of important factors

[shell sonnet]

not a bad indicator though I would think

[calm wagon]

Yes it is

Don’t be fooled

Because then that means I’m rejecyed

[turbid garnet]

essays could clutch

[calm wagon]

That’s what I’m sayin

3.6 uw 3.9 weighted not giving up 🙏

[turbid garnet]

thats not horrendous to be fair

[uneven carbon]

Hopefully

[turbid garnet]

also ion kno if they look at ur 1st q grades this yr

but if they do

maybe that could work in ur favor

[uneven carbon]

Hopefully

I had like a 4.8 last quarter

[calm wagon]

As and Bs

But I’m doing a retake for My B in calc

And she said

If I do the retake

She will adjust the grade

That was already on the transcript

Or in the grade book from first quarter

[sonic frigate]

Hi virgins

[calm wagon]

Hello

[turbid garnet]

i dont think they do act

😭

[calm wagon]

What website is this

[uneven carbon]

It’s like this college application software my school uses

Like naviance

Ur school might have something else

[cosmic dagger]

i should’ve applied school of arts and sciences

fuck

[uneven carbon]

Same bro

Don’t u go to wise for a year if u get waitlisted

[cosmic dagger]

i applied engineering and now regret it so much

[uneven carbon]

Same

[cosmic dagger]

cus bs in comp sci is so much more difficult

[uneven carbon]

Tbh I had no choice

Parents wanted me to do engineering

[cosmic dagger]

and it’s harder to do that shit plus minor in applied math

i fucked up my choice

i thought it didn’t matter

doing school of arts and sciences means i could still do econ/finance/math/cs and apply mcintire school of commerce if i wanted to

fuck

[uneven carbon]

Damn

U can try emailing admissions

And switch

[cosmic dagger]

nah it’s fine

i can still do finance stuff

and a bs in cs + applied math minor is easier

if i get accepted into cs 💀

if i get accepted into uva 💀

[bold zodiac]

@cosmic dagger you can transfer from e school to cas

They have a bunch of pathways set up bc routinely ppl fail out of e school they dump them in cas

[hard ridge]

Nah ur good I legit did the same thing
Emailed them like a week after I committed asking to switch and they did

From eschool to cas for cs

[cosmic dagger]

deadass???

bet thanks

now i just gotta pray i get into uva 😭😭

[shell sonnet]

no post 🫥

also wtf is questbridge

got me feeling envious

[cosmic dagger]

you have to be poor for questbridge

[turbid garnet]

lmao im having fun thinking of reasons they reject me

[calm wagon]

Why are we the same

What the hell

[calm wagon]

Hm

Idk

If I should change

Cause

I haven’t submitted yet

So

[cosmic dagger]

if your goal is to work in finance then change

if your goal is to be a swe then don't

[hard ridge]

tbh theres 0 difference between the college and the e school wen it comes to swe

You do all the same cs classes same clubs projects etc

difference is

1. if u wanna double mjor or minor like they do ur kinda screwed in the engineering school
2. Gen eds pick wheher u like writing and a foreign language or math, physics and chem more

also bacs kids tend to be less depressed just saying

[turbid garnet]

yo do u know if it provides an advantage to submit first q senior year grades to uva for ed bc i saw someone on college confidential saying they called them and asked to upload it and they said that it was okay, or do they see everyones but just say they dont review it for ed

[cosmic dagger]

yeah i wanna double major in math or go into mcintire school of commerce

[cosmic dagger]

that's another reason lmao i've alr hated high school i'm not trynna make college crap as wel

[hard ridge]

I mean I’d assume they’ve made ED decisions already but it couldn’t hurt ig

Doubt it gives a huge advantage at most might push u from deferred to accepted but that’s speculative

[hard ridge]

Real

[cosmic dagger]

uva isn't doing defer this year for ed

prolly gonna get rejected tbh

idk

[hard ridge]

Oh I forgot bout that lol

[hard ridge]

What ur stats (jus want an idea)

u have a pretty good chance 😂

[cosmic dagger]

i screwed up my essays tho

like my commonapp essay was pretty bad

and my uva essay i had like 3 typos 💀

its fine i've prepped almost all my rd and ed2 essays and imma make sure they dont have mistakes

[devout flicker]

23 aps???? bro it's so over for me 😭

[uneven carbon]

same bro 😭

[devout flicker]

we're in this together..

[uneven carbon]

yea

my stats mid

[cosmic dagger]

my recs were prolly ass too tbh

[cosmic dagger]

i can confirm i did NOT get all a's

[devout flicker]

oh ok but still 23 aps is a slay

what all did u take? or like what are some of the more obscure ones you took

cause i could not name 23 aps lol

[cosmic dagger]

aight lets get into it

[devout flicker]

u dont have to name all if u cant 😭

[cosmic dagger]

9th - ap human
10th - ap bio, ap physics 1, ap world history, ap psych
11th - ap calc ab, ap calc bc, ap chem, ap ush, ap lang, ap micro, ap macro, ap csp, ap seminar, ap euro, ap environmental
12th - ap physics c: mech, ap physics c: e&m, ap us gov, ap lit, ap stat, ap csa, ap comp gov

[devout flicker]

was it like a semester thing or a self study?

[cosmic dagger]

gotta name em all to fuel my narcissistic ego 😤

[devout flicker]

omg true...

[cosmic dagger]

which ones

[devout flicker]

like maybe calc ab and bc

[cosmic dagger]

11th grade was the only ones i did online/semester

[devout flicker]

oh damn..

[cosmic dagger]

in person, my school had this weird block schedule where we took calc every day for 90 minutes 💀

[devout flicker]

omg hell

[cosmic dagger]

micro macro apes ap euro and ap csp were all online

[devout flicker]

ohh ok

[cosmic dagger]

but i'm also asian and high income so it like negates everything

[devout flicker]

r u instate?

[cosmic dagger]

yuh

[devout flicker]

oh that will probably help

r u NOVA ?

[cosmic dagger]

nope, richmond

[devout flicker]

Oh yeah u will probs stand out

[cosmic dagger]

wish i was nova woulda tbh

[cosmic dagger]

hopefully

[devout flicker]

i do not lol it's so competitive

[cosmic dagger]

yeah but i love competition

it's what drives me

[hard ridge]

I did 7 but I was only in America for jr and sr year

[devout flicker]

ohh ok

i mean i think 9 is good bc my school only offers like 12

[cosmic dagger]

otherwise i get complacent

[hard ridge]

What part of Richmond

[cosmic dagger]

that's pretty solid
