[pale veldt]

umich ross > cornell dyson and nyu stern

[exotic stone]

[exotic stone]

doesnt cornell have better aid

[exotic stone]

real

[silver herald]

for business umich is goated

[exotic stone]

nyu is bad for consulting

[silver herald]

but overall i'd choose new york if same price

[pale veldt]

nah i got some bombass aid from umich

i wouldve gotten good ones from cornell but like i got waitlisted CAS and didnt apply dyson

so there wasnt a point

[pale veldt]

nah cos nyu consulting sucks

[exotic stone]

[pale veldt]

the only nyc private school id say is better than umich ross is columbia

[silver herald]

loml

[silver herald]

[silver herald]

LOL YEAH

[exotic stone]

like

[pale veldt]

[pale veldt]

[exotic stone]

[silver herald]

you'd need money for that. why are you taking money when the uni is paying for everything huh 🙄 /j

[worldly pivot]

[silver herald]

frrr

[manic verge]

like someone in rochester told me to put my phone away while i was walking cus i could get robbed or grabbed easier

[exotic stone]

i always hold my phone hella tight cos my buddy got it snatched one time

[silver herald]

i've never been robbed or mugged or anything like that neither has anyone i know so im lowk scared for US

[worldly pivot]

having money on u is fine, how can ppl tell u have money if u don't wear fnacy stuff

[manic verge]

[silver herald]

well if you wear a harvard hoodie people might assume you're rich cuz prestigious school

[exotic stone]

[silver herald]

W fr

[exotic stone]

dw i stay strapped

[exotic stone]

LMAO

[silver herald]

but unless you've been through the app process or went to an elite school, i dont think most common people know that you can go for free to top colleges

[manic verge]

so many ppl have asked my mom how many loans she's gonna have to take out

[worldly pivot]

do u? 🤔

[exotic stone]

im probably going to atlanta for college

[manic verge]

i honestly hate that i wont be able to carry protection in college 😭

[silver herald]

like my mom willingly took up a higher paying job in the past two years because she thought more money = more to save aside for college = better college because she didnt know the concept of financial aid and institutional aid and 100% need met and stuff

[exotic stone]

gotta keep the glcok 19

[worldly pivot]

be ready to see a whole lot of canada goose jackets when y'all get to college

[silver herald]

is that where emory is

[exotic stone]

yes

[exotic stone]

💀

[silver herald]

you dont have to pay for anything right? not even books, transportation, and stuff?

[manic verge]

almost every man in alabama has a gun or knife collection

[worldly pivot]

ur will be fine in cambridge ma

nothing crazy goes down there

[exotic stone]

collection is crazy fr

[silver herald]

do you have one

[manic verge]

i have a stipend

[manic verge]

knife cus gun illegal

[silver herald]

what does that entail?

[exotic stone]

u dont need a license to carry in alabama right

[silver herald]

like just... casually???

[exotic stone]

u can just buy at 18

like texas

[manic verge]

u need one to conceal carry

[silver herald]

oh thats a pretty knife let me buy one for fun!

[worldly pivot]

can u have knife in college? feel like metal detectors will pick that up

[manic verge]

only hunting ones

pistol is only 21+

[exotic stone]

so just a background check?

[exotic stone]

oh damn

[silver herald]

my cousin in uw madison had a roommate who collected knives

[exotic stone]

im surprised

pretty sure u can buy a pistol at 18 in texas

with no license

which is mad

[silver herald]

wait also where would there be metal directors in college

[exotic stone]

u cant carry a knife in ur bag????

[manic verge]

my mom is a concealed carrier but she'd never use it, so i always walk on the side she carries it on when she has it 💀

[exotic stone]

damn

[worldly pivot]

every library here has them at the entrance

[exotic stone]

i feel my second amendment rights dissapear

rn

[exotic stone]

wait but what about like

ur phone n shit

[worldly pivot]

and some of the newer building too

[exotic stone]

how do u get through the metal detector

[worldly pivot]

they are fine

[exotic stone]

how do they know the difference

[silver herald]

oh but you can have stuff in your room right

[worldly pivot]

tbh i'm not sure if they are really metal detectors 💀 i just assume they are cuz why would these things be at the entrance

[exotic stone]

💀

LMAO

[exotic stone]

on a real note

[silver herald]

its a nerd checker

[worldly pivot]

um def not guns idk about knifes

[exotic stone]

can u actually keep a gun in ur dorm

[silver herald]

if you're not a nerd you cant enter the library

[exotic stone]

like is that legal or allowed by the university

[worldly pivot]

no

[silver herald]

oh yeah i was asking about knives

[exotic stone]

ok im not surprised

but isnt that illegal in some states

[manic verge]

u can have certain knives

just a small pocket knife unfortunately

[worldly pivot]

personally would be cautious living with someone who have knifes

[exotic stone]

i would be a bit paranoid tbh

[manic verge]

i wouldve brought my switchblade but they r illegal under mass law 💀

[silver herald]

my cousin had a knife roommate and just when her request to transfer got approved, covid hit lol

[manic verge]

so it will stay at home

[exotic stone]

💀

[silver herald]

so her only memory of college is said knife roommate who was jealous of her other friends

[exotic stone]

LMAO

smrithi whats ur top choice

usc?

[manic verge]

💀

[silver herald]

i have 9 dream schools lol

currently my top choice is stanford because i had my interview yesterday and so did research on the school for that and fell in love with it (for like the 15th time)

[exotic stone]

oh right stanford

ofc

[exotic stone]

are they all cali schools

[manic verge]

lowkey i think me collecting knives is the Alabama and autism combining

like a double A battery

[silver herald]

but my usual dream schools are usc uchicago northwestern brown columbia uci uwash bu stanford and now recently ucla

[silver herald]

LMAO

[silver herald]

@exotic stone

im way too tired rn to explain why its such a diverse lits (its like 11 pm here and i didnt have my usual afternoon nap today) but yeah i love all of these schools

[exotic stone]

fair enough

BU is one i didnt expect on that list ngl

[manic verge]

i think the only thing similar among all my schools were they were in the northeast

cus i eliminated any that werent

[exotic stone]

but i think you'll get stanford fr

u can

[silver herald]

east coast vs west coast, open curriculum vs core, public vs private, party vs academia

idek what i like bro

[manic verge]

i knew i wanted northeast only

[exotic stone]

hmm

[silver herald]

my parents would cry

[exotic stone]

just like me fr

[exotic stone]

why 😭

its cali

[manic verge]

prolly far away

[silver herald]

tbh bu is only there because to me bu is only a dream school because i applied for full scholarship

[silver herald]

no as in happy tears

because to them stanford is like impossible

[manic verge]

i didnt do any california schools cus its 32 hour drive away

[silver herald]

they lived in cali for 15 years and dont know a single person who went to stanford

[worldly pivot]

another way to put it is u like prestigious schools 😂

[exotic stone]

they're all far

[silver herald]

because its so hard to get in

[exotic stone]

oh 😭 😭

makes sense

[exotic stone]

oh right

ofc

[manic verge]

14 hour drive is very reasonable

32 hour isnt

[silver herald]

tbf its a good range of t5-t50

[exotic stone]

but for her parents

its like a 20 hour flight

[manic verge]

oh intl right

[silver herald]

uh see its complicated

but my dad lives in cali

[exotic stone]

my dream school list: any of the t20 schools

[manic verge]

real

[silver herald]

stanford is i think 1.5 hours from my dad's house

[exotic stone]

thats sick

[worldly pivot]

all of ur schools is t20 tbh. uci is t20 in terms of hot ppl. bu is just top 20 in terms of city culture

[manic verge]

umich is cool but public

[exotic stone]

uci is t20 in terms of hot people???

damn i gotta research more on this

[worldly pivot]

i heard there's so many hot ppl there 🤷‍♂️

[exotic stone]

🗣️

[exotic stone]

[silver herald]

[manic verge]

[silver herald]

i thought uci was the most asian UC lol

[exotic stone]

[silver herald]

[worldly pivot]

[manic verge]

my class is 153

[silver herald]

damn

[exotic stone]

[silver herald]

[worldly pivot]

4k total students eh not bad

[manic verge]

[exotic stone]

yes

[silver herald]

ahhhh that makes sense

[exotic stone]

true

[silver herald]

my school goes from prek-12

[manic verge]

i am public

we r biggest hs in the county

county has 33k ppl tho

[silver herald]

in 9-12 alone we prolly have 600-700 ish yeah

[silver herald]

i read that as country ans was so surprised for a sec

[exotic stone]

damn

[exotic stone]

ih

wait

how many people does ur congressperson represent then

wtf

😭

[manic verge]

wdym

[exotic stone]

like if ur entire county is 33k people

how many people does ur congressperson represent in ur district

[manic verge]

idk what any of that means 😭

[exotic stone]

😭

nvm

[manic verge]

is it how many counties in my district

[exotic stone]

sure

[left gyro]

well money is a W

[manic verge]

5.5 counties in the district

alabama only has 5 million ppl lol

[exotic stone]

true

[spark rain]

dont do that in loci

there is a special place for that

but the deadline was 1st feb im pretty sure

because i got my major changed after deferral

[trim mango]

ah shoot

[spark rain]

you can still try

[trim mango]

do you remember where u did that by chance? im goint o see if its still open yeah

[spark rain]

you go to update personal info

and then change um school you applied to

[trim mango]

did u do it this cycle?

[spark rain]

yeah a week ago

so you go to your portal

[trim mango]

ah wait i see where i can do it

[spark rain]

then on the right dropdown box click verify application answers

and then change school

you can even upload a 250 word essay

a new one

you can still try although

[trim mango]

well idt my issue is applicable then because i wanted to switch my major within the college ive already applied to--ik they dont necessarily admit by major but i believe they see ur major and compare u to other applicants w the same intended major

[trim mango]

oh wow

[spark rain]

oh then this doesnt apply

because i changed colleges to which i applied to

then loci is fine

to put it there

[trim mango]

ya i was j thinking of mentioning that ive strengthened an interest in another major/field so id be excited to study either x or z

smth like that in a more formal way ofc

[spark rain]

yeah thats not a bad idea, as long as it's not a major with advanced selection you should be fine

like cs or ross

[trim mango]

ya its neither of those

i shouldve probably selected this major as my original intention bc my ecs / transcript sorta line up w it more buuuut oh well

[spark rain]

Its fine if you listen to their admissions podcasts they dont admit by major but by school

[trim mango]

no i know but (i def could be wrong) i feel like they do look at ur intended major and compare u to other people w the same one and it is slightly taken into account

[spark rain]

They definitely do that for CS but if you're just going for LSA or some other school it matters less since changing is much easier.

but if you want to swtich you can put it in loci

and if you want to be super safe you can even email your local admissions councilor.

when I switched I sent both an email and filled out the form

but ofc the form doesn't apply in your case

[manic verge]

how difficult is engineering to get into

test optional

[worldly pivot]

what did u put?

and what are u switching it to

[spark rain]

well look at it like this, in the CDS michigan recommends SAT/ACT scores where most other schools that are optional have it as Consider if
Submitted.

[manic verge]

so going test optional will defo harm my app

[spark rain]

it has the potential to do so, although it really depends on all of your other stats. So it could but not definitely. They'll just consider all your other stuff with more weight.

[trim mango]

astrophysics, thinking ab switching to political sci just bc i think my ecs line up w it more strongly

also i debated applying astro v polysci all throughout summer but just picked astro last minute since i was leaning that way, but now i think id have a better shot if i would have done polysci

even though ik it probably doesnt impact decision that much esp since theyre both within LSA, but as a test optional person applying for physics i think im slightly weaker compared to what id be viewed as applying politics instead

[neat pawn]

does anyone know when scholarships come out

or were u supposed to get them w the acceptance letter

scholarships not aid!

[pale veldt]

what school did you get into

[neat pawn]

uh in umich? lsa and pharmacy for second year

[pale veldt]

LSA doesnt give scholarships iirc, there are some that you can apply for but thats basically it

[neat pawn]

damn

the reality of out of state tuition is hitting me rn😭

[pale veldt]

when it comes to scholarships given to you automatically, ive only heard of Ross and COE do that

[pale veldt]

LOL yea oos tuition sucks :P

[neat pawn]

also idk if this is different from last year but they said they consider u for all scholarships when u apply like no separate application

so maybe that changes smth idk

[pale veldt]

but honestly even before i got my scholarship i got pretty good aid from umich

but im also pell grant eligible

[neat pawn]

ok that’s good

oh i am not😭

[pale veldt]

oh yea if ur not then u prob wont get much if at all

[neat pawn]

yikes

time to negotiate 😈

it literally doesn’t come out till march either ugh

[pale veldt]

oh yea they dont negotiate either

thats the thing that sucks about OOS public schools

they dont care if u cant afford it

[worldly pivot]

lsa do. have the 4 year one just like everyone else

[versed flint]

That is a good question. I had the exact same question in mind. Has anyone answered you yet? Pls let me know. Thanks

[trim mango]

do you want to switch schools or just major?

[versed flint]

I already switched majors. Should I address it?

Or nah?

[trim mango]

i think yes

did u switch it in the porrtal?

[versed flint]

Yea

[trim mango]

did you have to switch schools to switch major

[versed flint]

No

Only major

[wet imp]

[pale veldt]

[wet imp]

wharton, stern, ross etc

[pale veldt]

i was very ambitious with my applications

[wet imp]

did u apply to ut austin (the #1 public)

[pale veldt]

you mean the one thats like 5000 miles away

no

i stayed mostly in the northeast and california

the most south i went was uva

[wet imp]

gotcha

in terms of publics all i applied was ut and umich

[worldly pivot]

any cunys?

[wet imp]

everything else is private

i have 3 safeties and 19 reaches

💀

[pale veldt]

2 cunys 2 sunys as safeties

[pale veldt]

valid

[wet imp]

2/3 safeties im autoadmit for and one is private but easy to get in

[worldly pivot]

i couldn't do cuny, i already see one everyday across from my hs

[worldly pivot]

average shotgunner

[pale veldt]

LOL btech smh

[wet imp]

i mean i alr got into 2 reaches and i have 17 reach decisions left so its working so far

[pale veldt]

ooh pray tell

[wet imp]

3/24 - 4/1 will be the end of me

[wet imp]

ut (non auto), gtown

[pale veldt]

are u finance?

[wet imp]

im contemplating

finance, mis, fintech

not sure 100%

i really liked mcdonough and ross core

[pale veldt]

gtown takes finance, but i think ut austin better for fintech

[wet imp]

i cooked on both why us essays

[pale veldt]

idk abt MIS

[wet imp]

if i get cbhp ill go UT if i dont ill go gtown (depending on aid)

my parents and counselor want me to go to gtown

[pale veldt]

CBHP?

are u in state?

[wet imp]

canfield business honors program

[pale veldt]

ohh icic

[wet imp]

yes, but not top 6%

[wet imp]

all the opportunities come through cbhp first

like recruiting

so its important to get for finance

[pale veldt]

ohh okay fair fair

[wet imp]

regular mccombs is still great though

[pale veldt]

yea gtown takes the cake here for finance

[wet imp]

cbhp is like ivy level according to most

[pale veldt]

i think gtown lowk good for consulting too

[wet imp]

id take cbhp over some ivies

[pale veldt]

idk abt anything else though

[wet imp]

all i know about mcdonough is its #2 in average starting salary

🤑

[pale veldt]

well idk abt that yet, cornell and brown yes but like anything dartmouth or above no

[wet imp]

gimme dem bands baby

[wet imp]

id take cbhp over 3 ivies

2.5

[pale veldt]

let me guess

cornell brown dartmouth

[wet imp]

id take it over dartmouth and brown

cornell is 50/50

i really like dysons AEM

its a strong program

[pale veldt]

yea but dyson is only good for finance

[wet imp]

which is what im prolly doing

finance is first major choice

[worldly pivot]

over dartmouth??? their netowrk is crazy

[pale veldt]

the thing i hate when people are like "stern better for finance" or "dyson better for finance" is like. ygs are barely 18. half of yall will literally hate finance as a career once you get into college

[wet imp]

man if i was a michigander id go to ross and do their glorious bba curriculum

[wet imp]

no doubt....i want go to into ib and exit within 2 years just like every VP lmfao

nobody wants to do ib because they love it

[pale veldt]

yea but like how do you know thats really what you want? do you know what investment bankers do on a day to day basis? do you know how recruiting works?

like i wanted to finance when i was in 12th grade

now im just like "i hate recruiting for finance"

i dont want to pitch stocks i dont want to talk about financial statements

i love casing and i love problem solving, so rn im on a consulting pathway

like you dont have to listen to me, but from my experience i would hold off on diving super deep into finance for now

[worldly pivot]

what's consulting like? i was thinking of applying to tech consulting clubs next year

[pale veldt]

i just got into a banger consulting club too but consulting is all above solving a company's problems

[wintry valve]

fellas whats wrong with michigan basketball

[pale veldt]

a client might need help with something, so they go to consultants and ask for help on how to solve the problem, and you have to deliver that solution in a form of a powerpoint or presentation

you gotta know how to figure out what the root of the problem is, or how to help the company do something they want to do

[wet imp]

yes.

[pale veldt]

like it doesnt have to be a problem that a company is facing, but it could be like "should this company start producing this particular product"

[worldly pivot]

sounds pretty fun

[pale veldt]

yah i really like it, i enjoyed the casing interviews for my consulting clubs

[pale veldt]

hey i mean go for it then, but its just a warning i like to give to everyone thinking about business

its a broad field of study, and could be extremely lucrative even if you dont go into finance

[wet imp]

i alr sold my soul founding and running my schools investing club for the last 4 years

im ready (im not fucking ready)

[pale veldt]

LMFAO finance recruiting is horrible i will tell you that

[wet imp]

oh yea fs

[pale veldt]

the market will most likley get better when u graduate, but rn the job market sucks

one of the reasons why i wanna do consulting is cos its easier to find a job (no its not i only have like 3 best companies and 4 good companies to make money)

[wet imp]

im genuinely considering saying fuck finance and committing to georgetown for business + global affairs double (mcd/sfs)

[pale veldt]

or... you can do consulting :D

jk you dont gotta do that

[wet imp]

i might if i get into corn

corn is tuff for consulting

[pale veldt]

is cornell that good for consulting?

[wet imp]

NU is also good

[wet imp]

you would know better than me

what are the big consulting schools

[pale veldt]

according to this chart by peakframeworks

the big targets are harvard, penn, mich, yale, stanford, duke, princeton, MIT, and UCB

[wet imp]

peakframeworks also has ut austin as a target

[pale veldt]

then you got NU, columbia, UT austin, UVA, dartmouth, UND, vandy, uchicago, brown, and gtown

[wet imp]

annd gtown

for ib

peakframeworks is a bit suspicious

[pale veldt]

UT austin is a target for texas offices tho

gtown is better for NYC

[wet imp]

ok so basically i am not tripping in my decision to apply to all ivies

[pale veldt]

LMFAOO

UT austin is a great school for texas offices ill give you that

[wet imp]

its extremely prestigious instate

everyone loves it here

[pale veldt]

honestly i think the best way to sort target schools is how easy it is to network in those schools

[wet imp]

just like everyone in NC loves UNC

[pale veldt]

cos you can break into anything if you try hard enough

but its just like, some schools you can get networks a lot easier

and umich just happens to have one of the biggest alumni networks out there

which is why we have on campus recruiting from NYC even tho we arent near NYC

[wet imp]

so does tamu but fuck them

[pale veldt]

LMFAOO

[worldly pivot]

i love it so much, got a alumni to refer me to a company

[wet imp]

temu

imo

[pale veldt]

dang thats good

[worldly pivot]

just like app. they give u stuff (results) very early but the quality of it isn't up to par with other companies (schools)

[wet imp]

such a CS nerd thing to say

appreciate the sentiment tho

some names j look so clean

like umich '27

i also like UF '27

i like utexas '26

[pale veldt]

nah but like 27 is such an odd number

[wet imp]

some things j fit together

acc ur right

[pale veldt]

its not as bad as 23 cos 23 is a prime number, but like still

[wet imp]

umich '26 looks better

[trim mango]

oh wut i thought i could only switch schools via the portal?

[worldly pivot]

what no! 7 and 2 is literally the 2 best numbers out there

[pale veldt]

no but like 27 is just

[wet imp]

28 is so nice

24 is better tho

i love being '24

[pale veldt]

like i was class of 2023 in high school and now im stuck as 2027

[wet imp]

the only downside to 24 is yall got 23NIORS

[pale veldt]

oh yea true

[wet imp]

but thats basically it

24 solos

[pale veldt]

it really does

[wet imp]

my favorite is ofc '22

i love the number 22

i am so clinically insane that i finished 20 college apps and decided to apply to 2 more just so i could have 22

i acc need to seek help

[rose slate]

this cannot be worth it

[pale veldt]

hey i mean. its better than privates

also i get aid so

[undone token]

fr lol like, my other options (like bu) would be like 65k/yr + boston housing/CoL

[pale veldt]

yea like its def more expensive than cheap in state options, but like its still cheaper than a lot of top private schools

[undone token]

i also got into uiuc which is cheaper but i chose umich bc its stronger all around and ann arbor >>>

[pale veldt]

TRUE

AA is hella cozy

[undone token]

i love ann arbor bc of that

its like big enough to not be boring

but small enough to feel liveable

[silver herald]

hi kvd why'd you change pfp
also did you even apply mit💀

[wet imp]

Need new pfp

[silver herald]

wait i have one perfect for you

also why mit

[worldly pivot]

man mit reminds me of this https://open.spotify.com/track/4WaBawcuGJewl1LA5a6Y5w?si=a8d4b745eda64203

[raw wagon]

Woah

[glad sleet]

I’m getting in here fr

[rose slate]

how much aid

[pale veldt]

a lot more than you might think

[fluid solar]

are they generous for aid oos?

[void adder]

Yield prot

Umich knows its a fake t20

[silver herald]

Umich is actually 21 lol

[void adder]

bro did u send ur app

i accepted ur inv

[neat pawn]

chronically online take

[void adder]

thats me

[pulsar crater]

yes but

what is the umich rd deadline

I mean decision date

[fluid solar]

early April

[uncut delta]

in the US or itw?

[silver herald]

wdym?

on us news

[uncut delta]

itw= in the world

[uncut delta]

oh alright, dont think its reliable cause almost every other ranking site

has much diff rankings

than US news

[silver herald]

def

[rose slate]

Good morning

[pale veldt]

this is the realest thing ive heard

its always the "yield protection"

[left gyro]

any school that rejects me has yield protected me

that’s my new mindset

[nova siren]

I just got my portal for Michigan

Is there a point in writing anything in the continued interest thing

[exotic stone]

got rejeceted harvard

yield protection

😔

[pale veldt]

real

[fading trench]

@formal perch

can i ask u a question

[formal perch]

ok

[left gyro]

howd u just get ur portal if u applied ea?

[rose slate]

Yes

[rose slate]

And yeah what they said

[nova siren]

I applied rd

[left gyro]

oh ok

idk but idt u need to write a letter of continued interest

[rose slate]

Yeah

[rose slate]

Where did you see the letter of continued interest thing

[nova siren]

In the portal, here

I’m from Canada but have family in Michigan so this is kinda my dream school so I rlly just don’t wanna do anything to screw up my chances

[left gyro]

nooo i think u did ea but got postponed

then yes write the loci

[nova siren]

Bro I applied rd 😭 I just submitted my application last Thursday lol

[left gyro]

???

im sorry then im not sure

so confused cause it said express continued interest

ofc fill it out then

ha

[nova siren]

Idk I just got the portal and if I press verify continued interest that comes up and allows me to write a 250 word thing

[left gyro]

thats really odd

id call them

but tbh if you love the school id do it

[nova siren]

I think everyone has that, it’s on the portal, but usually people waitlisted/deferred fill it out

I’m reading online and people are saying there’s not much of a point in filling it out if you applied RD so I’ll see

[left gyro]

idk cause i did ea

and had nothing

[versed flint]

In my LOCI, I talk about clubs I would join. But I also want to talk about possibilities of creating my own club they don’t have. Should I?

[left gyro]

if you would like!

[rose slate]

honestly if you havE somethng send it

doesnt hurt

[versed flint]

Should I send it through the portal or directly to my admissions officer?

The LOCI

[rose slate]

no clue

@pale veldt

[pale veldt]

idk either i got in EA

i would assume portal

[glad sleet]

can i contact admissions furhter outside of my LOCI

[hallow cloak]

Is the "Expression of Continued Interest Form" only for deferred people

or are rd applicants supposed to do it as well?

[left gyro]

You guys should call the admissions office

And ask

Bc that is confusing

Or email your regional AO

[worldly pivot]

If ur RD, unless u have something significant to add, don’t write one

[left gyro]

Got an email about Kessler scholars?

Is it a full ride

??

It’s for first gen I know

[lunar prawn]

no, up to 15k instate, 25k oos/yr

[left gyro]

Oop

Thanks

That’s ok better than nothing

[lunar prawn]

🫂

[left gyro]

no no it’s ok lolll probably won’t go to Michigan bc it’s expensive

I already know it will be since I’m oos

[lunar prawn]

we both hope for financial aid 😭

[neat pawn]

wait pls tell me more about this im first gen oos

holy shit i need that

[left gyro]

it’s just a scholarship

They offer

I got an email I’d suggest you check yours it has more info

[neat pawn]

there’s no separate applications for scholarships right

[wet imp]

Id put it around 25 personally but yea umich is insane lol

Ross is certified t5

Maybe even t3

[raw wagon]

whens that

[wintry valve]

too early to tell

[glad sleet]

Y’all dicking over ranks are wild bro

[steep wren]

whats the acceptance rate for umich cs

is it hard to get in

[fresh pebble]

i mean ofc. my friend got in with like 97.5, oos, and test optional recently

TO and oos is crazy tho

[steep wren]

do yk their awards?

[fresh pebble]

0 awards

lol

[steep wren]

oh

interesting

[fresh pebble]

idk they wrote their essay quickly from what ik

including personal

ig they just clutched like that

[steep wren]

good for u

[steep wren]

good stats ig

[fresh pebble]

no ye the gpa is good

i have like

96.5 so they got a bit of leverage on me with that

but no scores or awards which is crazy for oos

[worldly pivot]

I would say awards isn’t really necessary but def good stats

[manic verge]

weighted or uw

[fresh pebble]

W, and they have 97.5 weighted

my school doesnt even do UW

and im not too far off from my W gpa

i think i had like a 94.5 UW

94 minimum

[pale veldt]

i had 0 awards too

but i looked at my ross admissions profile, and they didn't really seem to mind

[fresh pebble]

i have awards, but not academics

[pale veldt]

they really liked my personal statement and why ross, and also the artifact

the business portfolio... could definitely be improved

[fresh pebble]

for awards i put: international music comp at carnegie hall (big one), cpr+lifeguard cert, $1000 summer acting scholarship, youth employment program (kinda like work experience job thingy where i got $800 my freshman year lol), and ap scholar

but none of that academic stuff

[fresh pebble]

mmm

wait so the essays can rlly sway them even if other things arent 'their favorite' ?

[pale veldt]

oh yea

i got so much shit for my business proposal

but like they really liked my other essays

so i got in

[fresh pebble]

mmm

what were ur stats

[pale veldt]

96.76 UW, 1490 SAT

oos

[wet imp]

Yep ur going to cc buddy

[pale veldt]

not you again

finance bros smhsmh

[fresh pebble]

oh nice

[wet imp]

Acting like u wasnt one

[fresh pebble]

thats a lil better than me

[wet imp]

Luh better

[fresh pebble]

do they care btw if u have spiked math

790

[pale veldt]

i had a 790 math and 700 english

[wet imp]

My math is 780 prolly why i got deferred

[fresh pebble]

790 math 660 english for me

[wet imp]

[fresh pebble]

.

[neat pawn]

do we get anything in the mail yall 😣

[fresh pebble]

boy thats 2 questions

[neat pawn]

acceptance package

[wet imp]

770 english wasnt enough for them

[fresh pebble]

u got a 1550?

i dont think that was the issue lol

[pale veldt]

i dont remember i think you get something but like its not much

for ross you get like socks

i think the issue is that ur a finance br

[wet imp]

It was most likely my essays werent good enough or they just didnt read my app and autodeferred me or since they alr accepted 2 kids from my class of 43 they didnt wanna take a 3rd

[fresh pebble]

@pale veldt would u mind reading my essays cus idk where they stand in terms of 'business school' apps

[wet imp]

Prolly a combination of the first and third reason tho

[fresh pebble]

i dont think they auto defer a 1550 thats kinda meffed up

bro my friend got in TO

[pale veldt]

honestly i cant really tell you much ngl, if you get in then ur essays were great

[wet imp]

Autodefer as in every year they have too many apps

And cant read allat

I doubt thats the reason tho

They said they read all ross apps

So i believe them

[fresh pebble]

i mean i didnt apply to mich (i wanted to but apparently they dont have it on coalition so i literally couldnt since my commonapp was max) but im applying to others

i hope so tho

[wet imp]

No point in delving on it lol

Its out of my control

[quaint zealot]

Do they look at SAT/ACT and GPA for Ross?

[neat pawn]

there is no way they didn’t read ur app huh😭😭

[quaint zealot]

Or is it only essays?

[neat pawn]

i feel like it’s j essays

[wet imp]

Imo i cooked on the why us, business portfolio, and artifact

My community was mid

[pale veldt]

stern goes crazy

[quaint zealot]

I thought I saw they have two separate readers… one for essays and ECs and one for grades/scores

[pale veldt]

but stern cares a lot abt SAT iirc

[fresh pebble]

i dont think they automatically reject someone if they already accepted others from ur school. think about it, how are there 15 people getting into Harvard and Chicago and all that from those magnet schools

[pale veldt]

yes

[wet imp]

Stern avg sat is 1550

💀

[pale veldt]

there are 2 readers at first, 3 readers if one of ur readers dont accept you

[wet imp]

Yes but those schools are feeders mine is the opposite of a feeder lmfao

[fresh pebble]

yeah uhhhh i sent 1450, 790 math but the english is ass

[quaint zealot]

What percentage of people get decisions released on the first wave?

[pale veldt]

stern sucks anyways

finance ahh school

[fresh pebble]

i felt more comfortable sending 1450 than going TO cus i only have 3s on my APS

[wet imp]

Id go stern over ross personally

[quaint zealot]

On Friday, will there be rejections and deferrals or just acceptances?

[wet imp]

But it would be close

Fs

[pale veldt]

great question, i got no idea i got accepted first wave

[quaint zealot]

👍

[fresh pebble]

bro im 1 hour away from stern

my stern essays are good, my gpa is p decent id say

my ecs are good, awards are fine

[wet imp]

Im 3 hours away from UT

(Thats not even close tbh)

Idk why i said that

[pale veldt]

id also rather not pay 90k for a school thats not even good at consulting but to each their own yk

[fresh pebble]

sat is good in terms of being in the 99th percentile but NOT AMAZING FOR STERN

😭

[silver herald]

damn

[wet imp]

Michigan is 80k

[pale veldt]

and thats still a 10k difference

[wet imp]

Tbf only like 40 percent submit

[wet imp]

I go tuition free at nyu

[fresh pebble]

ye but those who dont submit AP scores, no?

cus i dont even have good ap scores

[wet imp]

Not sure

[pale veldt]

and i go full ride at umich 🤨 🤨

[fresh pebble]

1450 >>>> 3's

[fresh pebble]

full ride what the fuck

[wet imp]

Bc u are merit

[fresh pebble]

based on fin aid?

[wet imp]

I no no merit

[pale veldt]

merit and aid

[wet imp]

[fresh pebble]

ima get $0.00 in aid

:D

ngl idk why i even applied for fin aid

[wet imp]

You shouldnt have

[fresh pebble]

id be better off not applying for it and having a higher chance of getting in

[wet imp]

Small boost

[fresh pebble]

my parents make 6 figures

divorced, but i still had to put my dads house in assets

ffs

[steep wren]

for the cs peeps, would ygs choose umich cs over uiuc cs

uiuc just sucks for being in a cornfield

[silver herald]

uiuc is ranked higher right?

[mighty laurel]

Y’all what

They already decided ?

[silver herald]

already decided what?

[mighty laurel]

Nvm everyone gets this

I thought I already got rejected 😭

[plush peak]

wait if you submit your loci after they consider your app again in rd, does your loci even get read
