oh is it interdisciplinary major?

cyan wedge
#

pre med is like bio stem

#

I hate bio

low violet
#

yeah same

#

idk wy i chose premed

#

as a career goal

#

i lwky suck at chem and bio so i might be fricked

cyan wedge
#

My like “major” is chem Eng

#

But Colby doesn’t have Eng

#

But I want to work in sustainable energy

low violet
#

oh they dont have 3+2?

cyan wedge
#

They do

low violet
#

i saw a lot LACs have 3+2

#

oh

cyan wedge
#

But I was iffy

#

But I got over it

#

The environmental science emphasis won me over

#

I wouldn’t be able to get that at gt

#

And I’d need it for what I want to do

low violet
#

good, i heard the Chem Eng or any Eng majors wont shower for weeks on end

cyan wedge
#

LMFAO

#

Cs majors at my school are the stinky ones 🤞

#

But like 3+2 seems to give me a good balance

low violet
#

ok yeah cs might be smellier

#

they built a shower for the cs kids at brown in the building

cyan wedge
#

😭😭😭

low violet
cyan wedge
#

YESS

#

Not suicidal inducing gt

low violet
#

like grinnell has caltech + grinnell or like grinnell + columbia

#

i wish they had that for pre med

cyan wedge
#

I did ED bowdoin for the caltech program

low violet
#

bro this is random but istg everytim i see the celebration area i seea plethora of kids with 3+ ivy acceptances

cyan wedge
#

yeah it’s crazy

low violet
#

r they like the goats or am i just underachieving

cyan wedge
#

One kid didn’t get rejected from any of 22 schools he applied to

low violet
#

1 person got in ivies in our school RD lol

cyan wedge
#

I was like 😨

low violet
#

oh yeah my friend got that

#

appled 32

#

accepted 31

#

waitlisted somewhere i forgot

cyan wedge
#

Crazy

low violet
#

accepted all ivies

#

test optional too

cyan wedge
#

We had 13 Ivy acceptances

#

It was crazy

low violet
#

if i cant achieve that then ima brag for him

low violet
#

#

too many crackheads who have done ISEF by sophomore

cyan wedge
#

I’m from Georgia 😔

#

3 Stanford acceptances

#

2 mit

low violet
#

oh damn

#

we had 4 stanford too but all REA

#

and all legacy lol

#

cough cough

cyan wedge
#

16 other t20s excluding Georgia tech

cyan wedge
#

2 of ours were QB

#

And one was REA no legacy

low violet
#

like idt it is a coincidence if u get rjeected every other t50 school besides stanford

low violet
#

rea was huypercompetitive

#

and they rejected abig portion

cyan wedge
#

Yeah no one got in Stanford RD it was crazy

#

After the 13 ivies

#

Made me feel goofy being happy about Colby 😭

low violet
#

same lmao

#

but its ok

#

we up

#

ivies overrated

cyan wedge
#

LOL

low violet
#

i wouldnt have gone to most of the ivies besides brown yale or harv over a LAC

#

but yippee rejected all of them

cyan wedge
#

I think my dream Ivy is Princeton

#

But I didn’t apply to any

#

They didn’t seem that good for Eng

#

When I have gt next door 😭

low violet
#

yeah no ivies are that good for hard stem

#

compard to GT, UCB, MIT, etvc

#

like id say purdue eng is prolly more worth than harvard if u get no aid from harv

cyan wedge
#

Yeah ucb I would have applied but it seemed like way too cutthroat of a campus

low violet
#

yeah smart

#

they all smell

cyan wedge
#

Harvard gives humanities

#

gt is wayyy too smelly too

#

Any update anyone

magic token
#

None yet its either someone got off but were not involved in social medias or they're getting ready for the future weeks (based on how others are beginning to move their wl pool)

limber cradle
#

Ib they will start in the last week of april and continue through May its very unlikely and rare that people get off waitlist from highly selective schools during april but i wish you all a very good luck as there are a few people declining offers

river dagger
#

committed!!

#

should i expect any email?

#

been a few hours all i got was the payment confirmation

round magnet
#

there is a confirmation of deposit email

#

from colby not the payment app

lean wave
#

waitlist should be out within a week? or the entirety of May?

round magnet

praying for everyone on wl praying

eternal hearth
#

im guessing its bcuz of how weird college admissions was this year

lean wave

eternal hearth
#

yeah i enrolled at colby cuz it was my cheapest option

lean wave

eternal hearth
lean wave
