Not stated
But it's US time Evening
of 20th march?
Yep
waiting on wustl
When is that?
Tomorrow
Are they good, wanna give recommendations? 😭
Ohh
They are so so nice.
I only watch the fantasy genre and it's so good.
You can start with Burning Flames on IQiyi tho
Or Legend of ShenLi
Imma give it a try have nine days to pass 😭😭
Where else did you apply?
Wesleyan, Colby, Vassar, Carleton, Swarthmore, Dartmouth
Those are the schools left for me
The big cats
Ah okiee good luck!
I hope it's Friday
Cos this one that that they aren't saying anything
Who else applied to Carleton here
I did
lmaoo same
plus ivies
i still got 16 leftr
Same
16 left
Those are the big schools then
I only have 6
13 in the us 3 in finland
i got like 15 left still i think, almost only reaches lol
wait
someone on college confidential said they were told colby is releasing on the 25th?
I heard Colby was gonna come out Friday but nothing confirmed yet right?
Bruh same and so many are (and hopefully will) be on Friday 😭
I did too
Any update on when Colby is releasing
They should just do that tommorow with other schools and let me have a rest
honestly i agree but i dont think they will unless they cold drop at this point
i think most likely tmr
you think its gonna release tmrw?
yea
or theyre gonna announce its release tmrw?
i'd assume so
bro just go to ucla
they release tmr
decisions
nah if i get in colby (esp with pulvers) id consider between midd and colby
ucla too big of a school for me and im doin premed
heard it sucks in ucla
yeah makes sense
for preme
whyd you choose colby
maine is nice lol and also because the student living is pretty good
besides the fact its rural town
oh siht its in maine?
i just applied because i got a fee waiver
i did the essays tho
it has good research stuff, good faculty support like other lacs, if i get pulvers then that'd be amazing =plus
oh i didnt lol
i just applied on a whimbut got th epulvers interview
so i began researching more abt the school
manifest gang
depends if ur req aid tho
they r need aware for intl and dolmestic and im the brokest of the brokes so idk not expecting too much rn lol
I need aid and im intl
yeah we r a lil screwed but hoep for the best atp lol
How rich is the student body
i have no idea tbh, most lacs are rich white kids
If the school is need aware for all students how good can it be
well i think its bc lacs are kind of dying in popularity
and funding is decreasing
suprised tho bc colby is known to have a lot of money
I got white down I just need the cash
Schools with small student bodies r getting less popular in general dont u think
yeah besides schools like amherst, pomona and some othert top lacs, schools like bates, colby etc are not rly thriving
But i like the concept of lacs cuz I dont want to get lost in a crowd I like crowds but I gotta start with smaller crowds
I think the top schools r gonna be fine amherst is like number 2 lol
and better connections
yeah fs
oh yeah is it this fri?
Lacs give pretty good aid too
Yes
Some of tjem
did u apply
Not all
I just got waitlisted from Wesleyan 😭😭😭
I only have Swarthmore, Carleton and Colby left, I am so so fucked up, yeah ik
yeah grinnell gave me pretyty good merit aid, they r known to give hella
Yeah I applied to 5 lacs pomona williams amherst bowdoin and colby got rejected from pomona
I was really expecting an acceptance from pomona
Ty u too
nah bru pomona compeittive af
Bro my supplementals were so good
Only school I applied to in cali lol
Stanford is an lac?
and the rest r mid scools
i meant overall
nah u good lol
Thats like 20 schools more than other states except ny lol
yeah ig, its all scattered
Texas has a bunch of good schools too
Man im just waiting for this to be over i wanna commit to somewhere and start planning my dorm lol
oh yeah fs
Eh Im gonna beg for aid for the duration of april so I cant wait for it to end :/
Well if i dont get accepted anywhere
That wont be a problem
So far in the US the only acceptances I have are from state schools
did u apply any us safeties?
There are no safeties when ur an intl lol
oh ok thats still an option
I got a really good scholarship from georgia state tho
Tuition dropped to like 3k per semester
Which is affordable
As an intl I made it to penn state university park too which apparently has a 7.5% acceptance rate for intls
But it doesnt matter cuz no aid lol
Negotiating is gonna be in april
.
Wait Colby tomorrow?
Im gonna try to get georgia state to drop to like 1.5k a semester lmao
possibly
Not sure at all
Penn state aint givin me a penny tho
lol lowball them like crazy
and then see their response
Arizona state gave me a 60k scholarship but its worthless compared to the 240k total cost
worht a try
Yeah cold emailings gonna work hopefully
Bro I cant believe I'm stuck with state schools when I worked so hard throughout hs lol
Thansk u too
Only in the US tho I got a lot of great acxeptances elsewhere but I wanna go to the US so
what country r u from?
Eastern europe
ah i see
Efc is like 3k a year
Give this man citizneship
my yearl income might be lower
but my noncustodial makes more
my yearly is like in the thousandsa lol
I grew up in the US you can't really tell me apart from an american lmao
bc my dad is retired
How r u surviving on 12k a year in the US
nah im chinese lol
RIP
in cs?
And u need aid
Sounds like a whole lotta hardship, you getting into Princeton
He said pre med
Nevermind
only applied yale and columbia
oh thats better
My hook is being a victim of an authoritarian regime lmao
Hey its not working so far
yeah colleges dgaf until u r full pay
Same
That shit about diversity is not real they dont care
As long as ur white n u got money theyll let u in
Why white
yeah or any race besides asian
unless u asian from kansas or smth
then u have a chance
R u sure u want me to answer lmao
Being a minority and rich is the jackpot spawn

Guys they're onto us
What r we doing wrong
uh oh
Race based admission discussion —if you’re white you’ll get in, if you’re Asian you won’t etc
We don’t allow conversations like that in the server because it brings the closet racists out of the woodwork
Well being white isnt enough you gotta be rich too
Ight
Hey the best color is the color of money
I've never seen a green person before other than Hulk
beast boy
if i was AO, if its green you're in
i mean green is literally ✅
How did the moderator even know we're tlaking about this. There's like 5000 channels
Spooky
Its 3:41am I got school tmrw idk what I'm doing at this point
I slept 4-10pm tho
im 10 assignemnts behind rn
Senioritis gettin to u?
I'm an IB student and senioritis got to me two months ago
I only study for math hl aa
Cuz i need to maintain the 7 predicted
Lawd
7 english b 7 math 4 physics
Very reasonable
I hate physics
I was made to choose it
And I did like an idiot
I don't study for it at all
Still an impressive selection of courses. Physics be hard
No wonder I get bad grades
IB fucked up my gpa too
Before IB I had a 3.8
Now I have a 3.6 lol
Nah somehow, my weighted GPA in junior year was 5.3, then in senior year it dropped to 4,8
And my grades were good
Eh, still good
Yoour predicted scores are good plus you're taking hard classes
Gpa doesnt matter as much if ur intl as long as ur not test optional
1450
I'm honeslty very confusion
Cuz I got wailtsted from Grinnell without doing the supps, but got waitlisted by safeities too
(I got into some schools though)
So I don't know what to expect with the rest of the LACs
How many people they accept from waitlist? You should def try
Hopefully everything will work out for us in the next 2 days 🙏🏻
they literally accept full pay internationals 😭
economical diverse 😍😍
real i hope
Nah nah
It's a soft reject actually
Except you have cash
But as full ride seeker of a waitlist, getting off is a myth
not true
Source: I'm a white and full pay intl

I'd love to know what the stats of the actual application pools are
not just those that are accepted
dam bru u still up lol
School
oh dam 3 hrs sleep go hard
2 lol
any people got the waiver this week?
Guys, have y'all received the optional form? Just confirming

Did you also manage to send a mid year transcript to them?
I always noticed that they never asked for it
Which sucks since I got a status of being an upcoming valedictorian this semester
when is colby releasing
Any intl got css waiver in rd?
3-4people here have it
1
i got it
mit 28
i hope 
L coming for me
off lacking an f cuz this guy dont give one
yea
who is this guy btw stalin?
are you from vietnam?
yuh
yes it is stalin
east or north
north
when?
last wk of feb
is it too late to expect one?
yes it is
till now the admissions decisions are done
someone from your region has gotten it
prolly
maybe. but it is extremely low this year
idk anyone who got it, but there must be some people
you might know better of your region
i think someone might have gotten it
last year 5-6 people got from my school alone, this year none i think
that is huge. is your school top tier ?
yes. especially before 2015, it was a regular feeder to t20,
things have changed
you go to a feeder or semi-feeder then
some people from your school might have gotten it
it used to be a feeder i'd say. that's why i joined.
i ended up being valedictorian but no acceptances yet
uwu 
it is too late to get a waiver now
you may get into some ivy
who knows if you are from a used to be feeder
hmm. hoping but i didn't receive interview so not sure.
except dartmouth
my school is supposed to be a feeder
but the most cracked class got swept by ed 
i hope to get into stanford
while somehow my class got 3 t20 alr (to jhu) (i got rejected) (wahhh)
same. stanford hasn't taken any student in last 3years from my region
so, hopefully this year
what lacs did yall apply to
but seeing my decisions so far, stanford looks like a dream
WAS colby trincoll
i have my hopes for stanford and duke
but let's see what goes on
amherst, williams (crapshoot), grinL (rejected), colby (hopeful)
it goes good
you'll give up MIT for Stanford?
mit bound im ngl
will be a hard decision
no safeties?
first let me get into stanford
i tried oly-ing but im just at nat level

you will gt into colby
don't worry
you have gotten the waiver
and it has been rare this year
umelbourne ?
would they give good aid tho
yeah
they are good with aid
yeah. if CS then i'd go Stanford, other engineering i'd remain at MIT
another asian male in CS

stanford dissed fraudvard and that is so based ong
i will go for neuro-computation and biology
my cousin went to cnn for hs and is paying 70k a year at umelborne, what offer did u get
not yet
alas! i want to have a house in the rural mountains
waiting for second semester
think about admissions officer
asian male in cs (insert the buzz lightyear gif)
"again?"
but stanford doesn't admit by major
so no problem
ik that
but they need a well rounded class
yeahh
but i mean i did everything in cs
makes no sense other major
buzz lightyear
what was it about
research on microplastic with deep learning models
dont downplay my guys ecs 🧑🍳
yeah lmao

i wish SAT was compulsory lol
same
although i didn't score high
sat is my one crutch
still decent score
my nat oly is my other cruthc
why are you guys focused on SAt
how much did you get?
they are so stupid
1600 💀
tf?
i lucked
uwu that is good
mine was digi too, first attempt, didn't retake
if i retake it now i wouldnt get over 1550 fosho
leave that stupid test alone
it is basic english comprehension
and basic mathematics
i don't get why people are so obesessed about it
because it gives you scholarships
lmao,
it doesn't
HBCU
yes could be
real
safeties?
yeah HBCU was my safety
got in
another safety as well
but it is 3x the price for HBCU
so,
historically black colleges and unis??
yes
i thought that was smth that belongs to segregation
segregation?
yeah the name gives it off, i didnt know of hbcu
is that your photo in your pfp?
awh hell nah
im asian.
i knew someone would ask me that but i feel so offended for no reason 💀💀
whos that person on your pfp tho
i feel like i know her
somewhere on tiktok or something
yeah the "who the hell is go joe" and "im not getoe" people
yeah like a week 😔 trends move on so fast these days
sadly tiktok is banned where i live
did you try using vpn
idt shed wanna go to that extent just to shorten her attention span 😭
Help shes sl funny
Is colby fiddling with us
Or maybe they would just be cold dropping
Are you intl
I mean, MIT
What are you still doing on this suv
It's freaking MIT 😭😭😭
Yeah
HBCUs are the real safeties .
Tho they aren't as good as LACs or Too schools but they also provide quality education. I have 2 full ride scholarships from 2 HBCUs - Fisk and Bethune Cookman
Tho they don't follow holistic process, but they are much more reliable that these LACs 😭😭😭
Idt many people got it
Colby CSS fee waiver isn't a sure sign tho but not getting it is kind of something to be worried about tho
Did you get a CSS fee waiver from trincoll
I didn't get one so it's over
Are you African?
couldn't understand your Last sentence
I got it let's go
Did you get any scholar program invite too?
Idk probs no if I didnt see it in my mails
it was in my promotions/spam
u should check
i case
I didnt apply for them but they did send an email
yeah thats fine which scholar emoal did u receive
Information on the scholars
Something like learn more: apply to our scholar programs or wtv
oh mvm i meant like a program specific one
like pulver scholar or presidwntial scholar
those are kind of indicative ive heard
Actually, what does it looks like to get a css waiver something?
Is it like the noncustodial or the fee to send a css stuff for free?
Yeah just a code to send the CSS stuff in free
We request it during the time of applications and theh send it out to some people in early-mid March
Ohhhh that's why I never received it because I didnt need one lol
That got me worrying
I just hope Colby releases tommorow
I have Swarthmore and Carleton too,
They should lemme sob at once and forget it
I thought yall been talking about non custodial waiver for the whole time
Hopefully pulvers comes through tomorrow 🤞🤞🤞
Yall better be checking Colby insta accounts tmr to look for their announcement post
Waitlisted from Trinity college
Like fuck
Not agaiñ after a Wesleyan waitlist yesterday
I am so freaking bad 😭😭😭
pulvers pls break my streak
Anyone got into Trinity here?
Omg I’m on a five rejection streak 😭
I’ve lost all hope
Lets still keep up the hope
Just know that whatever our decisions are, in a year we would forget about it and live on our lives as it ought to be lived
So, just take every decision as God's wish
lmaoo 7 for me
i got 6
Will Colby tell you if u got into Pulvers in your decision letter? Cuz for presidential, I emailed and they said admitted students will find out within a week after getting their decision
i think it will be at least a couple hrs before we know
My bad if already asked but no sign of a deicison date yet right?
No sign
Is Colby ur guys’ tops?
top school?
no waiver, no top
Yes
Oh God please clutch up colby please
!Colby
All the other LACs drop today I swear
so its likely ig? idk whats so hard in releasing a admissions statement tho
Fr
Why is it hard for them to drop a statement
Or is it possible that they release them after their spring break
They won't obviously want to release after spring break cos that would be after ivy day
shit yield 101
Waiting for their super computer to finish yield calculations
if i dont get in its cus of yield protection
Exactly
probs not today
radio silence on their instagram
what
this is not supposed to happen

ikr
i think they will post a little later
hopefully 😔
i emailed them
they post a little late
LMFAO
lets hope they respond
my AO took like a day or two to answer
if not today then when 
oml they go on spring break tmr
so if its not today its def gonna be april 1st 😣
it has never been on april 1st
it will be shit if that were to happen
imagine williams releasing today and not colby
shit yield 101
wth are they doing back in the admissions office

YOO DECUSIONS TODYA
whats the source
or just based off predictions / pattern
colby r shit at communicating
check their instagram dumbass
damn 💀
Yea dumbass
how do you know the exact time?
they said they will release by end of the day ( that means a working day) which in colby is 8am - 4pm
i emailed them
hmm. if they said by end of their working day then it makes sense
most colleges have released in the evening
i get the reason why you don't understand business terminology
what's the reason?
the profile explains it
ohh. don't be triggered lmao
i just like christian bale
ain't nowhere i've mentioned sigma
it is just a picture of christian bale
the interpretation is up to you
Wait it’s out?
First of eight rejections for the day 🔥
got in
same lmao. but most probably L
no waiver for me
What r ur other decisions today?
Admitted to colby 😄😄😄
Amherst, Williams, Colgate, bowdoin, swarthmore, tufts, and Syracuse (didn’t show much interest)
i think they got waiver
I got in no waiver
ohh they got the waiver yea
Congrats!
congrats to everyone who got in
Good luck! I got all of those too except replace tufts and Syracuse with USC and maybe smth else I forgot 😭
I was going to wait but I don’t have enough self control to wait 4 more hours
Fr
cant go
Good luck to you as well!
i can go to sleep thankfully
its almost 1 am here
cya in a few hours if i get in or not guys but i didnt have a waiver sooooooo
Wait so does getting a fee waiver usually imply an acceptance?
got into colby omfg
for internationals
not acceptance
but it is a good sign
Ohh
WAITLISTED
Bruh Waitlisted :/
i got waitlisted
I’m scared
waitlisted
Just gave the worst presentation of my life
Did anyone who got a pulvers interview get rejected or waitlisted
Waitlisted
Im not seeing any rejection, it seems that they did over-admit?
someone got rejected in the reject channel
Out of curiosity, do u guys know how to do the decision result polls in here?
guys, do any of yall know how to appeal aid from colby?
Intl asking for full aid
not even waitlisted
got rejected
oh

35k
