What’s the crisis

U like brown way more than cornell

[heady garden]

i will regret not EDing cornell

so much

[orchid dawn]

Its not easy to get into cornell

[robust goblet]

how do yk for sure Cornell is easier than brown

[heady garden]

bro i can't explain this again 😭

just trust me it is

please i beg you

[orchid dawn]

It’s not

Unless you’re a legacy

[heady garden]

can you backread?

a lil bit?

[robust goblet]

One sec

[vestal kestrel]

feeder

[orchid dawn]

If you ping the message

[torpid kraken]

I'm going to be honest, it sounds like you want reassurance about your choice with brown more than us actually choosing(?), you should go for it

[heady garden]

this

[vestal kestrel]

fr

[heady garden]

NO THATS GENUINELY NOT IT

ITS NOT

[orchid dawn]

Oh you’re a New Yorker?

[heady garden]

someone ltieralyl said

[robust goblet]

Have you written the supps for both?

[heady garden]

the EXACT same thing

[vestal kestrel]

theyre like heavy feeder

[heady garden]

about cornell yesteryda

[vestal kestrel]

guaranteed acceptance basically

[orchid dawn]

Ah

Then why not guaranteed rd?

[heady garden]

you have definitely heard of my school lol

[vestal kestrel]

idk

[heady garden]

its way lower chance, apparanetly

[dusty drum]

can expect 40+ people from my school to apply with a lot of them ed'ing 💀

[vestal kestrel]

r u also ny

[heady garden]

yes

[heady garden]

no

[vestal kestrel]

oh

[heady garden]

new england

[orchid dawn]

Trinity? Stuy?

[heady garden]

but it doesn't matter

[vestal kestrel]

bro goes to exter

💀

[heady garden]

no

[vestal kestrel]

/j

[orchid dawn]

Andover? Exter?

[dusty drum]

tjhsst?

[vestal kestrel]

lets stop guessing

[robust goblet]

Whats your approx percent change for Cornell ED?

[vestal kestrel]

dont doxx urself

[torpid kraken]

It's a hard choice, but I would just ED brown, there's no guarantees in life so just do what you want the most

[orchid dawn]

Lmao I was just naming the only four ik

[heady garden]

yes

[orchid dawn]

Dont ed a school you don’t want to go to

Do brown

If you’re not confident, we can’t change that

[dusty drum]

in the end what matters is what you do at that school

[orchid dawn]

We have our answer

[heady garden]

i do want ot go to cornell though

[heady garden]

yeah...

[robust goblet]

^

[orchid dawn]

“Yay” suggests otherwise

[heady garden]

which is bascially that brown and cornell are the same

[heady garden]

80 for cornell

around 50 for brown

[robust goblet]

damn

[heady garden]

yeah that feels right

[robust goblet]

idk bro location is also a big deal

[heady garden]

ikkk

i actually love providence

i stalked it on google maps

for an hour

[torpid kraken]

50% is still really good??

[heady garden]

actually no

maybe not 50

I DONT FUCKING KNOW

for cornell its def like 80

[orchid dawn]

What evidence do you have?

[robust goblet]

what would it be RD

[heady garden]

idk...

maybe like 50-60?

[orchid dawn]

Naviance or actual data from college counselor

Talk to them

[heady garden]

yes.

he doesn't do numbers

of acceptance chance

[orchid dawn]

Sometimes feeder is hard bc you’re competitive with the best

[robust goblet]

I think since u have such a big "boost" for Cornell you should ED brown and then RD cornell if you don't get brown cuz you still have a good chance

[heady garden]

so this is like

[orchid dawn]

No one can

[vestal kestrel]

the ppl who told me i was fs getting in cornell were ppl in a2c

[heady garden]

EXACTLY.

EXACTLY>

literally

[vestal kestrel]

my cc said nothing

[heady garden]

for brown, there's so much competition

[orchid dawn]

But he can tell you if you compare to past applicants

[heady garden]

for cornell, there's none.

[heady garden]

yeah

[vestal kestrel]

then there will still be none rd???

[heady garden]

for cornell, it looks like i'll get in

[orchid dawn]

I thought you were a heavy feeder to Cornell?

[heady garden]

i am more than good enough

[heady garden]

we're heavy feeder everywhere lol

[heady garden]

competition

[vestal kestrel]

yeah

[orchid dawn]

Then what’s the problem

[vestal kestrel]

exactly

there will be none RD

[robust goblet]

just ED brown then

you'll get in trust

[heady garden]

ur right

but also like

FUCK

[vestal kestrel]

if no one applies cornell period then why would there be more comp RD vs ED plus ud be competing against ppl with lower gpas/stuff than u for cornell RD since the higher ppl wouldvec ommitted usually

[robust goblet]

bro WORST case u RD cornell with like a 50 50 chance

[vestal kestrel]

if "FUCK" is ur only response to my arguments, i need to start studying.

bye

[robust goblet]

thats not bad at all

[vestal kestrel]

ive made too many inarguable points

[heady garden]

ITS NO

[orchid dawn]

Go study

Telemachus you gotta do some soul searching

[robust goblet]

just give yourself some time

[orchid dawn]

Its been the same fight for an hr

You have two weeks

[robust goblet]

10 days but yea

[heady garden]

i did

[heady garden]

I LIKE UH

fuck isn't my answer

its that i dont have an answer

i'm going to ask my college counselor what my RD chances look like

[orchid dawn]

They probably won’t have an answer

Expect that

Do you have targets and stuff that you like btw

[heady garden]

yeah

[robust goblet]

Do people go to Brown from ur school

[dusty drum]

damn you got some crazy useful counselors

[robust goblet]

to just brown?

[heady garden]

yeah

[robust goblet]

or ivies in general

[orchid dawn]

How many kids in your grade?

[robust goblet]

how many ivies per year

[orchid dawn]

Cracked rich school

[heady garden]

yes

CAN U DELETE HTI SPLS

LMAOO

[heady garden]

well, we have rly good fin aid

[robust goblet]

is it a public school

[dusty drum]

damn must be nice

[orchid dawn]

How is that doxxing?

But sure

[heady garden]

thanks so much! ❤️

[heady garden]

no

but the point is like

there's no point

[heady garden]

georgetown, for one

like northeastern

safety sarah lawrence

i'd say uchicago is a target too, if I EDII

[orchid dawn]

Georgetown is not a target

Nor is Uchicago

[heady garden]

oh, from here it is

and i have a safety

sarah lawrence

[orchid dawn]

A 12% acceptance rate is a target?

[heady garden]

it's not 12% here

[robust goblet]

he goes to feeder remember

[orchid dawn]

Ik I’m not used to feeder kids

[heady garden]

for georgetown

but the point is that

[orchid dawn]

Why apply to Georgetown if not polisci tho

[heady garden]

cause i like the vibes 🙂

also its good for my major

low stress, good for premed

[heady garden]

he was right haha

[robust goblet]

didnt want to assume

[heady garden]

thank you lol

hm.

yeah thank you guys

i have a clear path now

RD chances for cornell

if they're decent, then i will ED brown

if they're really bad, then I'll ED Cornell

🙂

i'm lying guys i'm still confused

😐

someone save me

well, ig the problem is that no one can save me

i'm just talking to myself at this point

just yappin and yappin

before, when i said this to people they were like

"write the essays, you'll know then!"

they're written

[torpid kraken]

lmao

[heady garden]

"it's ok, you can decide later"

the decision is now.

[torpid kraken]

I hate when people say that

[heady garden]

:)))))))))))))))))

[heady garden]

help i am people

its true though

i like both my essays

[haughty lily]

yo

if u had an equal chance at both which would u take

[heady garden]

brown

for sure

but that's not reality

[haughty lily]

then apply there

[heady garden]

my brain unfortunately won't let me do that

maybe brain needs to shut the fuck up right now

no that's not true

[torpid kraken]

When I make hard decisions, I just usually think for a very long time to the point it's all I think about until I finally make the decision because I spent so much time on it, but you don't really have that luxury

[heady garden]

i've thought about it for 4 months now

i swayed so heavily to brown

then to cornell

[haughty lily]

what major

[heady garden]

and now i am back in this shit

[heady garden]

premed bascially

[haughty lily]

what major at brown vs cornell tho

[heady garden]

what i'll apply as, or pursue?

[haughty lily]

apply as

[heady garden]

brown: creative writing + human health

i think i already wrote this above lol

[torpid kraken]

Let me tell you this, my big sister wanted to go to brown, it was her top school and jae said it was her top school by the end, so take that as you will

[heady garden]

cornell: human ecology

[haughty lily]

what major

...

[heady garden]

but... thats not me

[heady garden]

human health society

why does that matter though?

[haughty lily]

hbhs is comp i heard

like humec has quota per major

[torpid kraken]

I actually have brown pretty high on my list as well if I don't get into cornell

[heady garden]

can we please just assume that

what my college counselor says is right

for the most part

[haughty lily]

imagine u get into cornell ed

[heady garden]

actually no lemme explain sorry

[heady garden]

it is competitive

[haughty lily]

acc lmao it doesnt matter where u get in for premed

premed is premed

[heady garden]

but i go to a feeder, met their GPA, and have really good awards and essays

[haughty lily]

and brown is wayyyy easier

[heady garden]

exactly.

[heady garden]

exactly

yes

[haughty lily]

cornell is gonna fuck u up

[heady garden]

no

def not

my school is harder than cornell

[haughty lily]

yeah premed is tuff there my boi

are u ib?

[heady garden]

high school

no

lol

[haughty lily]

whats ur course load

[heady garden]

it's hard to explain

we don't have AP classes

or IB

we do our own thing

[haughty lily]

shi ok

[torpid kraken]

They go to a feeder school, I assume its a private?

[heady garden]

yes

lets just say, there is no cap on what you can learn

[haughty lily]

do kids get into brown from ur school

[heady garden]

there literally is no stopping point

[heady garden]

yeah

[haughty lily]

bro im at a ib school and nobody got ivys last year lmao

k well ur p much fine

[heady garden]

i hate ivy though

[heady garden]

no lol

cause i still have a bad chance at ED brown

[haughty lily]

brown is way better premed life

[heady garden]

yes.

fuck.

and they send slightly more ppl to harvard med

which is my dream

[haughty lily]

lol why?

[heady garden]

i'm a prestige whore

[haughty lily]

bro if u wnana become a doctor it doesnt matter what med school or uni

[heady garden]

and you make WAY more money

[haughty lily]

are u dumb

[heady garden]

added bonus to how much i love biology 🙂

[haughty lily]

u can place into any residency

[heady garden]

bruh...

[haughty lily]

i think if u apply plme ur shot of brown for general school increases aswell

[heady garden]

def not

it's seperate

also i don't like brown med school

[haughty lily]

are u a good video editor

[heady garden]

actually disadvantageous because i'll be applying as premed

[haughty lily]

or can u get someone

[heady garden]

my video is really, really, really good

my college counselor said its top top few among what he's seen

but how much does that impact the decision lol

[haughty lily]

lol

i think u know what u should do

[heady garden]

i don't.

like i don't.

even with all those supplements

[haughty lily]

Gl

[heady garden]

i still have a much better chance at cornell...

and i can still do well there

[heady garden]

bro got tired

LMAO

i don't want to decide

[torpid kraken]

It'll come ED deadline day and then you will, not to be ominous or anything

[heady garden]

bruh i know lol

i have to decide by wednesday

:))))

[torpid kraken]

Until wednesday?

[heady garden]

this wednesday

[torpid kraken]

why?

[heady garden]

meeting cc then

sign forms, etc.

[torpid kraken]

Oh, I see

My counselor literally just signed the form without even emailing or anything lmao

[heady garden]

oh-

you're EDing cornell right?

good luck

[torpid kraken]

I just clarified before doing questbridge that I had full intentions of doing Cornell ED and I would opt out of match if I became a finalist

[heady garden]

i really really hope you get in

[heady garden]

ohhh i see

[torpid kraken]

Thank you so much 🫶

[heady garden]

i'm gonna cry

[dusty drum]

college application process still stressful in a feeder

[heady garden]

yes.

also my classes are so hard

its ok it can only get easier from here

well, at least until med school

[white trail]

jesus this has 1300 messages what in the world

[heady garden]

🙂

[haughty lily]

brown: 4

cornell: 1

[obsidian python]

cornell

me

[somber bear]

holy shit how did this get so many messages

[heady garden]

🙂

end me now please

[calm badge]

You seem to like brown more id say don’t apply ED to a school simply because it’s ‘easier’ to get in

[obsidian python]

end this now by applyign to cornell 👍

a2c is applying 2 cornell

[obsidian python]

my opinion is the opposite

i respect that decision ur saying tbh

[heady garden]

vote # 4 🙂

[obsidian python]

but going to cornell is also rlly good

[heady garden]

yes

[obsidian python]

what even is the difference

[heady garden]

and its not like i hate the school either

damn

you're so real

maybe i will just apply to cornell

[obsidian python]

brown vs cornell i doubt will change much in ur life

[heady garden]

fuck it

[obsidian python]

ur thought process is right

[heady garden]

CORNELL ED!!!

[obsidian python]

yay

[heady garden]

wait

[obsidian python]

mhm

[heady garden]

😐 🔫

[obsidian python]

😭

[heady garden]

yeah

[lone mesa]

✋

i must speak now

lest i forever hold my peace

BROWN WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[heady garden]

speaketh

[heady garden]

FUCKKK

[lone mesa]

ed to your dream

cornell is numba 2

dont let it be numba 1

[heady garden]

i love brown

so much

i just watched my video and almost cried LMAO

the feeling of getting in and beating all the other kids at my school

[obsidian python]

sometimes i think

[calm badge]

How do you even vote

[heady garden]

you just said brown lol

[obsidian python]

sometimes i think an ideal world would have cornell ED2

[heady garden]

so i changed the number

[lone mesa]

this doesnt seem too healthy??

[heady garden]

yeah...

[calm badge]

Ok

[heady garden]

ITS NOT HELP

[obsidian python]

nah fair point

[heady garden]

that's not it lowkey

[obsidian python]

its not healthy but its fair

[calm badge]

Literally my attitude with Princeton

[heady garden]

i would like everyone to get in

[obsidian python]

if ur in a cornell feeder thats what u feel

valid

[heady garden]

i'm in an ivy feeder

[obsidian python]

compromise this poll

ed columbia 😁😁

[heady garden]

i don't like columbia

[obsidian python]

im joking

[heady garden]

even if i had a better chance of getting in than cornell

i would not ED

SEE???

i'm not just a prestige whore

LOOK

[obsidian python]

ed cornell

[heady garden]

fuck

but brown

i love brown

so much

but its not worth

[obsidian python]

yk what i think ive done my part

[heady garden]

yeah

its not worth

you're right

[lone mesa]

you need to take some time away from the internet

and think

[obsidian python]

just wanted to make sure someone else has ur opinion

[heady garden]

i've thought

so much

alone

at night

it doesn't help

i just spiral

[lone mesa]

not at night

at day

[heady garden]

at day

when i eat

when i walk

every waking moment

[lone mesa]

while taking a stroll

[heady garden]

i took a break

i read some poetry

i hoped i'd know what to do

i am just more confused

[heady garden]

thank you so much

for your input

[obsidian python]

np

[heady garden]

the voice of reason, not emotion

well not really

that's not true

[obsidian python]

[lone mesa]

maybe ed isnt for you mr indecisive

[heady garden]

BRUH

it is

not EDing is the worst

feeling

ew.

no

actually, maybe you're right to a certain extent

[lone mesa]

oh right ivy feeder kid

i see why you wanna ed but

maybe it aint right

look into ea/rea

[heady garden]

too risky

my college counselor said

i should ED

it is the more strategic option

[obsidian python]

indeed

it is!

[heady garden]

guys

i hate myself (joke joke!)

why can't i decide this stupid thing

[lone mesa]

if you're trying to play the system then go full out and ed cornell

not my recommended approach but it is supposedly what you wanna do

[heady garden]

everyone else has a clear opinion except me

[obsidian python]

nah i had that dilemma last yr

im ngl

[leaden crest]

it’s okay, everyone is confused at one point or another

[heady garden]

thank you

[obsidian python]

the reason i ED'ed a school that wasnt my top choice was cuz of maximising chances

i thought others were too ambitious

for REAing their dream

[heady garden]

yeah

[obsidian python]

and im not wrong

like most ppl ik who did that j got straight rejections

[torpid kraken]

Idk, maybe it's because I'm poor and I go to a very average public that I'm like, why not, nothing is certain so why not do what makes you happy?

[heady garden]

hmmm

that's honestly my fear

if i apply to brown, there is SO much competition

[obsidian python]

here lemme show a visual for this

[heady garden]

if we look at me from my ECs, i can beat them all

[obsidian python]

"visual"

idk

[heady garden]

if we look at me from my grades, i lose

i am dead last

[obsidian python]

1st choice vs 2nd or 2nd choice vs 7th

[heady garden]

for cornell, this isn't even a problem

no one is applying to CHE

no competition (from my school)

[heady garden]

this is true too though

even then, nothing's certain

i can say i'll probably get into cornell

but i can't say i will get into cornell

[obsidian python]

nothing is certain ofc but probability is higher

[heady garden]

yes

is that probably worth it?

i see it as honestly a 50/50 for brown

[obsidian python]

id call it worth it

[heady garden]

it ALL depends on how they see my bad grade

[obsidian python]

depends on ur context ofc

conpletely does

[dusty drum]

probably an a- lol

[heady garden]

💀 i wish

[obsidian python]

[heady garden]

if i went to a different school

i'd be applying to WashU ED

and praying my entire soul and being out

to get in

context really matters

and i am malding

because it does

[torpid kraken]

Kind of messed up that just the institution you attend as a high schooler is enough to sway results by that much, but you didn't hear that from me

[heady garden]

well, it is more difficult than cornell

if you do well here, it kinda proves that you'll do well at cornell

if that makes sense

[dusty drum]

yo zip code lol, but also income

[heady garden]

income?

we have kids that pay nothing to be here

and kids that donated to get in

just like any college

[torpid kraken]

Yeah, the zip code one is definitely messed up

Most zip code zoning is by income

[heady garden]

wait wdym zip code?

ohhhhh

that sucks lol

yeah

i think i'm going to apply to McDonalds ED

🙂

problem solved

[torpid kraken]

So AOs can usually guess how much money you have

[heady garden]

yeah

guys

i need to decide

but i can't

[obsidian python]

hv u completed the apps for both

[heady garden]

yes

[heady garden]

brown was harder to do

but that's because they have

9 supplements

vs cornell with 2

[torpid kraken]

The video and portfolio too right?

[heady garden]

yes

my video's really good

i can say that for sure lol

i'm so proud of it

[torpid kraken]

Brown's video supplement scares me so bad lmao

[heady garden]

i had so much fun making it lol

when i first sent it to my CC he was like

OMG!!!!

[torpid kraken]

I don't like hearing my own voice on recordings

[heady garden]

i. LOOOVE this. Love. just LOVE.

[heady garden]

is it weird i kinda do?

[torpid kraken]

narcissist lmao jk that's a good thing, I do choir so I have to listen to recordings of myself at least once every few months in some way

If I liked hearing my own voice, it would be so much more painless for me

[heady garden]

I KNOW LMAO

i usually am not that

i hate hearing it sometimes

but i love how i sound on this video

[torpid kraken]

Interesting, I need to study you under a microscope

[heady garden]

lmao

i'm so indecisive

about this

fuck.

i tried so hard for this...

it feels so weird to give up brown

[dusty drum]

then don't

[heady garden]

for my video

it took so long

BRUH

ok

BROWN!!!!

i'm doing brown fuck it

[torpid kraken]

WAIT YOU'RE KOREAN?

[heady garden]

yes lol

[torpid kraken]

So many korean people on this server...including me

[heady garden]

OH WHAT

lmao

[torpid kraken]

Honestly, I should stop getting surprised at this point

[heady garden]

hahaa

same

[heady garden]

SHIT IM STARTING TO DOUBT MYSELF

I HATE THIS

[torpid kraken]

It's ultimately up to you, I don't have the power to control your hand to select one for you

[heady garden]

heads or tails

now you have the power

🙂

[torpid kraken]

Well, we have to assign them first, Cornell is heads and Brown is tails

Which one did it land on?

[heady garden]

i was gonna ask you

to choose heads/tails

heads

ig i'm applying to cornell

[torpid kraken]

Oh, sorry, my bad I'm a little out of it since I'm a little sick and it's a little late right now

[heady garden]

lmfaoo nooo np!!

you should sleep

it is 2:40 am for me 🙂

[torpid kraken]

It's later for you than me 😭 Go sleep

[latent ravine]

Did you come to a decision

[calm badge]

yea he chose brown

[heady garden]

no

i flipped a coin

i'm going with cornell

wait no

FUCKING FUCK HELL

i'm so mad i literally am about to cry

[errant goblet]

just dont ed 💀

[heady garden]

that makes me feel even worse

[errant goblet]

ur not always gonna feel good

make the smart choice and dont ed

[heady garden]

the smart choice here is ED cornell

the risky choice is ED Brown

the dumb choice is EA MIT

i think, at least

[heady garden]

also, everyone who says this and then reads the thread changes their mind

well, maybe not you lol

i hate my life

actually no i love it!

[latent ravine]

No I agree

Wouldn’t rather you apply rd

Potentially get into both

Then have the decision

[heady garden]

my GPA isn't good enough for that

my CC told me flat* out

[latent ravine]

Like if this is seriously stressing you this much

[latent ravine]

?

[errant goblet]

what

ed would require more stats

[heady garden]

like i'm not a competitive enough applicant GPA wise to apply RD

and not do ED

[heady garden]

there's way more competition in RD

[errant goblet]

way more diverse competition

ie easier to get in with lower stats

ed is for the fucking nerds

[heady garden]

for my case at least, that's definitely not true

[heady garden]

this might be true though lmao

[errant goblet]

what 😭

[heady garden]

i have a much worse chance of RD than ED

[errant goblet]

why

what makes u think this

[heady garden]

my college counselor

[latent ravine]

Either way you will probably regret your decision in the end whether minimally or a lot

[errant goblet]

do u go to a feeder school?

[heady garden]

yes

[latent ravine]

And there’s no guarantee you’ll get in ed

[heady garden]

no, for sure

but there are differences in the chances

[heady garden]

that's so right though

yeah

[errant goblet]

then rd imo

[latent ravine]

How important is this to you

[heady garden]

even if it means having much lower chances?

[heady garden]

its important

i think...

yes its important

[errant goblet]

you cant quantify how much lower ur chances will be

[heady garden]

not, but i can qualify

[latent ravine]

Pick the school you’ll be willing to commit to over any other school in the world

[heady garden]

how much lower my chances would be

[errant goblet]

u really cant even quantify ur chances at getting into a school at all lol

[heady garden]

well, you can...

[errant goblet]

how would u do that

[heady garden]

my college counselor would know

[errant goblet]

no 😭

[heady garden]

tbh, i'm sure there's so many pieces i'm missing

[errant goblet]

they give u what they think

[heady garden]

exactly

[errant goblet]

there is no possible way of quantifying the admissions process

[heady garden]

i NEVER said quantify

i said qualify

[latent ravine]

No matter how good your college counselor is they’re not the ao

[heady garden]

qualitative data

[errant goblet]

??

[heady garden]

they've been the AO

[dusty drum]

unless your CC is nostradamus they are not going to know

[heady garden]

they know the process inside out

they can't say i'll get in

they can't predict how the AO will think

[errant goblet]

exactly lol

[heady garden]

but they can consider things that would be viewed positive/negatively

past data

how they colleges do their admissions

[errant goblet]

i can promise u ur counselor isnt a probability god

[latent ravine]

They’re not your AO

[heady garden]

my CC has no idea how the AO will view it either

which is why brown is so risky

[errant goblet]

what

i highly doubt the difference between cornells gpa range and browns is statistically significant

[heady garden]

it is.

very different

[errant goblet]

doesnt mean they’re statistically different lol

[heady garden]

i would say they're different lol.

and you don't need a damn p-value to see i'm not in the range

[errant goblet]

just ed where u want to bro

at the end of the day ur gonna learn shit and meet people somewhere or the other 😭

[heady garden]

exactly

so tbh, brown/cornell don't make much of a difference

[errant goblet]

if u think ur chances are higher or cornell then fuck it go to cornell

[latent ravine]

If you’re unhappy rn think about how much unhappier you’ll be if you Ed to a school and you’d rather have a choice

[heady garden]

wait, sorry, wdym?

like if i ED cornell and get in?

i'd be very happy

thrilled

[latent ravine]

Then Ed Cornell

[calm badge]

holy shit telemachus is one of the most indecisive people ive ever met

[heady garden]

i know.

why am i like this

i hate me

[calm badge]

my dad told me to apply to either princeton mit or caltech and i decided within 3 days

which is a lot ik

[errant goblet]

u are purposefully being indecisive for some reason 💀

[latent ravine]

^

They know what they want

[heady garden]

i'm not purposefully being indecisive

[latent ravine]

They just haven’t realized it

[heady garden]

i DO NOT

know what iwant

[heady garden]

oh

yeah

[calm badge]

flip a coin

[heady garden]

maybe?

i did

it didn't work

[calm badge]

if youre unhappy with it pick the other one

[heady garden]

i came back to this gray area

[calm badge]

its that simple

[heady garden]

i picked brown during the summer

[calm badge]

that was me last year

[heady garden]

i changed to cornell the past few weeks

[latent ravine]

Pick the school you’d pick over the very single school

[calm badge]

i flipped a coin as two schools accepted me for a levels

[latent ravine]

It’s as simple as that if you want it to be

[calm badge]

the coin landed on the side i dont want

and thats when i knew

[heady garden]

idk if i can make it that simple, my stupid stupid brain

[heady garden]

ohhh

well

[calm badge]

still expelled tho

[latent ravine]

Factor in that 1 factor

If you could go anywhere

Where would it be

Brown or Cornell

[heady garden]

harvard

LMAOO

[dusty drum]

that's some heat right there

[latent ravine]

Do Harvard rea

[heady garden]

no.

that's actually a def no

[latent ravine]

Ok 💀

[heady garden]

i do not want to do that

[calm badge]

my dream was mit but i also like pretty buildings and pretentious people

so i chose princeton lmfao

[heady garden]

fucking harvard

FUCK

[calm badge]

jk i want a less competitive environment

[latent ravine]

What else do you think you’ll get out of this discussion

You keep flipping sides

[heady garden]

i know

[latent ravine]

You’re being persuaded too easily

[heady garden]

i can't stop

[latent ravine]

Don’t ed

[errant goblet]

princeton has lots of that!! and some pretty buildings 😀

[heady garden]

my parents wouldn't let me lol

[calm badge]

exactly which is why im applying

[heady garden]

• i dont want to not ED

to be honest, my gut

my gut feeling says brown

like i strangely feel like I'd get in

[calm badge]

lemme make a pro and con list for you buddy
HARVARD
PROS: prestige
CONS: very hard

BROWN
PROS: you like
CONS: hard

CORNELL
PROS: relatively easier
CONS: everything else

its not that deep bro

[latent ravine]

Then apply

[heady garden]

HARVARD
PROS: prestige
CONS: very easy

BROWN
PROS: you like
CONS: medium

CORNELL
PROS: can get in
CONS: stressful

[calm badge]

what

[heady garden]

this is probably more accurate

to what i think

[calm badge]

wdym very hard

oh

[latent ravine]

If you get deferred or rejected from brown

Not the end of the world

You’ll live I promise

[heady garden]

i will

but i will be devastated

for a long time

[calm badge]

if i get rejected from purdue and gatech ill end myself

jk

[heady garden]

honestly, i'll deal with it

[latent ravine]

That’s fine

You’ll get over it

[errant goblet]

LOL

[latent ravine]

There’s worse things in life

[heady garden]

bro wHAT IS WRONG WITH ME

every time i decide, i flip to the other side

[calm badge]

look when i was expelled and they refused to release my psychiatric documents i was depressed for like 4 months

so what

you have a nightmare

it doesnt last forever

[latent ravine]

No Fr

[calm badge]

life goes on

[heady garden]

it'll last four years

[latent ravine]

It could be worse

[latent ravine]

So?

[calm badge]

no it wont

i was forced to move countries

[latent ravine]

4 years in your life is less than you think

You’ll adapt

[heady garden]

yes

i will

[calm badge]

and deal with the consequences

[latent ravine]

And you’ll like your school

[calm badge]

i am content where i am now

[calm badge]

exactly

[latent ravine]

I hated my high school

At first

[errant goblet]

• lil baby

[latent ravine]

Finally by junior/senior year I accepted it

[calm badge]

i think my high school is little princeton with all the people so far up their asses

[latent ravine]

Everything happens for a reason

You’ll see

[calm badge]

hate to be the religious one but god works in mysterious ways

[heady garden]

I don't like how passive that philosophy is

[errant goblet]

people here are surprisingly humble

[calm badge]

youre at penn

[heady garden]

I want to do everything in my power to create the best overall balance of good over bad

[calm badge]

i dont like PA for some odd reason

[heady garden]

for me

[dusty drum]

REAL, like we get decently ranked regionally and people keep putting on airs

[errant goblet]

even the stupidly fucking rich kids arent pretentious

[latent ravine]

Everything happens for a reason even if it seems bad

There’s usually good in it

[calm badge]

thats surprising

[latent ravine]

And it works out

[dusty drum]

cap

[heady garden]

I really don't agree with that philosophy, I'm sorry

life is random

life is shit

life does good things for no reason

life is indifferent

we just deal with it

[calm badge]

nah my life worked out

[heady garden]

that's howi think

[latent ravine]

Life doesn’t cause it

[errant goblet]

theyre all extremely humble in my experience

[latent ravine]

It’s really your perspective

[calm badge]

im very happy i was expelled tbh

[latent ravine]

If you find the good in everything you’ll see everything happens for a reason

[heady garden]

I believed that

[latent ravine]

If you don’t life will be awful

[errant goblet]

i dont even realize theyre rich until someone else says they have 5 homes or they mention they bought something for $500 for fun 💀

[heady garden]

lol

where's the good in that?

[latent ravine]

Have you thought it might have been better for him?

[calm badge]

yea sure my current school is giving me depression and a sense of inferiority but at least i get to reach my full potential even though thats not a lot

[latent ravine]

It strengthened you?

[heady garden]

where's the good in that?

[latent ravine]

Also add a tw please

[heady garden]

you can't make good out of everything

[latent ravine]

If you choose to you can

I got severely chronically I’ll

[heady garden]

some things are bad, and i just accept it as is

[latent ravine]

Ill

[heady garden]

i can move on from them

[latent ravine]

I’m not going to lie and say it’s awesome and everything is 100% fine but life through this at me to make me stronger

[calm badge]

to this day i still feel like i do not deserve the right to live

so what

like i said life goes on

[latent ravine]

Again

There are much worse things in life

[heady garden]

I think this happened to you, and you came out of it strong

[latent ravine]

Than not getting into your Ed school

[heady garden]

exactly

[latent ravine]

Well I wasn’t always like that

[heady garden]

but that doesn't mean its not important

or that i don't want it

[latent ravine]

I feel weak a lot of the time

[latent ravine]

Ofc not

[heady garden]

or that i won't feel devastated by it

[latent ravine]

But it’s not the world

[heady garden]

ending.

[latent ravine]

You will be fine either way

[calm badge]

life would be boring if everything was easy and successful

not saying you should take risks all the time

[heady garden]

I agree with this

[latent ravine]

Ong I would be devastated if everything was handed to me

[calm badge]

but id say this one is worth it

[latent ravine]

You know what to do

So just do it

[latent ravine]

Agreed

If you don’t get in so what

They didn’t recognize you for the awesome student you are and you’ll prove them wrong in the long run

Rejection can be incredibly motivating

[calm badge]

thats the reason my mid ass is applying to princeton

at least there are no 'what ifs'

[latent ravine]

Me w Stanford

[latent ravine]

Exactly

Like I did my best

[heady garden]

I think of college rejects not being indicative of the quality of the student, but of the class the AOs were crafing that year

[latent ravine]

That’s it

[short venture]

There is 2k messages here

[calm badge]

go to bed

[dusty drum]

me with cornell

[short venture]

😦

[heady garden]

yeah its 3:30 am

fuck.

[calm badge]

im in asia

[latent ravine]

Just do what feels right

If nothing feels right

Oh well pick on impulse

[heady garden]

i think both are reasonable

i'll regret them both

[calm badge]

for fucks sake

[heady garden]

so, i'll just go with impulse

like you said

spur of the moment

🙂

[latent ravine]

W

[calm badge]

W

[heady garden]

[latent ravine]

Will you make your final decision before you submit

[bitter wren]

Hopefully he EDed his state flagship

[bitter wren]

@heady garden l

[haughty lily]

[heady garden]

I have chosen Cornell y'all

🙂

CORNELL UNIVERSITY FTW

YES!!!

[bitter wren]

Stfu

U picked brown

[heady garden]

DONT CONFUSE ME

CORNELL

🙂

[bitter wren]

Why u scared of getting rejected

[heady garden]

Because it doesn't look that great

and I still love Cornell

[bitter wren]

Ok fair enough

Good luck

[heady garden]

‼️ WHAT

u changed it up so fast

thanks!

[bitter wren]

Ur not a Junior so I got no reason to hate

And I’m gonna be the same mf as you next year deciding between Cornell and uva ED

[haughty lily]

LETS GOO DECISION MADE ‼️‼️

[latent ravine]

Congrats!!!

[torpid kraken]

In the 350-word university-wide essay, can I ask you if you specifically named something like, for example, a club at Cornell to explain how you would contribute to its community in the essay? My counselor said that I should add specific examples, but 350 words doesn't give me a lot of room to specify a specific thing pertaining to Cornell without (in my opinion) coming off tacky or insincere? Maybe it's because I spent too long talking about how my perspective was shaped

[heady garden]

you don't need to mention cornell in the 350 word essay

only your perspective

[torpid kraken]

That's what I thought since my advisor didn't mention anything when I sent the rough draft to her, she just said it was good and it was a good perspective to take

[heady garden]

you need to mention cornell in the 650 word essay

however

yes

[heady garden]

yep

[torpid kraken]

Yeah, my CALS essay is 50% how my experiences shaped my perspective and love for the major I chose and 50% how CALS matches my values and basically how I'll take advantage of its opportunities that can't really be offered anywhere else since it's already a pretty unique school

[heady garden]

that's perfect!

[torpid kraken]

But thank you for your reassurance about the 350-word (diversity) essay!!

[heady garden]

no problem!

i'm confused again

yay.

[torpid kraken]

I shouldn't have brought you back to this cursed land

[heady garden]

i just got yelled at in general

to ED brown

[latent ravine]

I thought you decided cornell

Stick with it

[heady garden]

damn.

you're so right

but
