Do they consider geography heavily?
im midwest too
dont get tripped up by
little percents
well ohio is better than my case
im from chicago
they told me that 1600 applied in illinois
and they took
75
💀 💀 💀
Only 2% from mountain I'm so cooked 💀
tough crowd there
middle of nowhere helps
I hope so 😭
did u not resch out to them
i reached out when i didnt get one lmfao
and they sent it again
🩵🩵
I’m in like a smallish city
About 50,000 people
Definitely not urban though
So idk, we’ll see in March
I can yap about it all I want but I’ll get in or I won’t
wait
thats a thing.
did they send u like a paragraph or something
wdym
they sent me the booklet
like remailed it
the swag in question: four stickers
Hey does anyone have some tips on the conflict supp? I have one written but it feels lackluster
YOU GOT FOUR??
I GOT ONE HELLO??
they rlly upped the budget this year
my supp feels too hostile
WHAT
???
lemme get a pic lol
im killing mmyself
why is yalls so good
is there any mention of veritaffles
veritaffles??
bro johns hopkins gives speakers
Really???
I will never get a T20 acceptance package 🙏
i believe!!
just donate a building, trust
That's wild lol
You got in! Now, before you pay us in tuition how about you but some overpriced jackets
I say this but I would buy a Harvard jacket the moment I got in
i get a free tshirt (estimated delivery by the end of april)
25% at harvard shop
Cause I have no good jackets
oh yeah
me too adam me too
Well we just need to try our best
9 good RD apps hopefully one of them lets me in
I have 13 and I’m just really hoping it all turns out well
I would really like an Ivy, I just need one
Obviously Harvard is preferred but we’ll see
manifesting!!
i’ve been proofreading the essays of applicants all week and i’m fr rooting for y’all
gotta make 2029 the best grade 💪
real
do you have any tips
Ahhh the Harvard essays have become some of my favorites
I love the disagreement essay so much
I liked my Harvard supps but I'm also afraid my roommate essay wasn't good
I liked it but idk
make sure to have a very clear focus in all of them, talking about multiple things is bad enough but doing it when you dont have the words to waste is even worse
you have 5 chances, showcase 5 different parts of yourself
dont try to fit in 3 different things in one essay and do them all subpar
im sorryyyy im just regurgitating what my cc says 💀
you're doing great yooung grasshopper
keep up the good work
get in so i can adopt you
for the roommate supp, what qualities should I be writing about?
I made mine rather superficial (something someone living with me might want to know in advance), my three were needing space for cosmetics, how im confrontational and will resolve conflicts asap, and how im superrr talkative
but i thought they might’ve meant like qualities of my personality? deeper facts about myself? im not sure
those seem fine dw, just be wary abt the confrontational one not coming off in a bad way like youre picking fights or smth haha
No way I talked about loving to talk too lol
Literally talked about being Chinese nonstop don’t even worry
Yalls are better than ours last year
i said i wore pink hightop converse, watched Velocipastor, and collected weird words 💀
what was in yours?
Tie them to something deeper is my suggestion
One sticker
@ harvard accepted ppl, how'd y'all tackle the "Harvard education in future" essay
It's currently the one that I'm having the most trouble with
Short story about why I want to do what I want to do in the future (not profession-wise)
A few Harvard resources that tie into that vision
Closing that ties back to the story
rn my problem is that I think I'm being quite shallow with what Harvard can offer
cuz I just sprinkled in some courses and a club
That’s basically what I did 🤷♂️
fair enuf then
first para: smth im passionate abt, describing it + what i've done abt it. second para: how i will continue at harvard, like 2 examples of clubs
thats plenty, as long as its not just "bc its harvard" lmao
are harvard supps generally more serious
mine were pretty formal in the sense that i followed grammar/spelling conventions, a little more lax w the roommate one tho
but thats just my style/personality, if youre super formal/informal i would show that
If I somehow get in will you be my roommate?
Oh i see. what happens if i were to use narrative + personal anecdotes + monologue
a lot of me things and not a lot of harvard things, talked about astro a bit and related it to an experience, then a bit on community, a bit on community service, then talked about more stuff in my interview like a capella groups
for all of them
lmaooo we’ll see, i don’t accept betas in my dorm 😼
kitten...i dont accept this language...
wait but on that note is there like gender inclusive housing for freshman? ik there is for sophomores and up
yes
oh sick
if u have any specific questions ik someone who is in it
someone who is in da serve
yeah i would use it jjst to indicate that i don’t have to be roomed w another girl
i don’t mind rooming w a guy or an enby or whoever else
as long as they don’t snore
they will prolly room u with a girl then kdnfgldkjgjldkjdflgk
u arent doing them any favors
its for ppl who like need it usually yk
yeah i figured
i would strongly encourage that
THANK GOD 🙏🏽
thank god 💀
make it entirely unique to you, but don’t like. abandon grammar and formatting and spelling lmaooo
valid 😭
but also don’t make it a five paragraph topic + thesis sentence with CER and a concluding paragraph that restates your key points
though that would be really impressive with only 150 words
nvm if you can do that that’d be sick
harvard level talent right there
that would be wild 💀
cyrptic ahh response
basically on the gi form for freshman u can say ur good with it and u indicate how badly u need it
so u can click yeah im chill w that and say it doesnt matter to u
gotcha gotcha
in case there is a woman shortage, heaven forbid
i would not want to live in that world 😞
woman shortage is crazy
somehow i knew u were a lesbian but idt u ever said it
i’m not </3 i jjst hate men
every straight woman ever 😭
i find it so interesting how women always say they hate men and dont wanna date them but men are the opposite 😭
except incels
those dont count
can confirm
whereas men… men.
men are hot 
idk abt their personalities the only man who had a crush on me was weird
that’s the only thing they have going for them ☹️
that’s so real
aagh I feel like im overthinking everything
bro one time a guy asked me out on the JCPenney escalator
just dont 
help thats crazy
LMAOO
hey I mean my dad proposed to my mom at a TGI fridays so
he couldnt take her to a lake??? 😭
he kept like asking where the men’s cologne was at and after i told him he was like “okay listen. i don’t actually care about cologne. number? snap? please? 🥺”
the best part is
she told him
"I'll think about it"
lmaooo that’s so real
said yes like 2 days later
he got deferred fr 💀
BAHAHAHA
quite lliterally the opposite
this is an embarrassing read by u 💀
you cant sense the bisexuality? cmon
SHE SAID SHE DOESNT LIKE MEN
BISEXUAL WOMEN SAY THIS 20X MORE THAN LESBIANS
ugh i hate men too bad im attracted to them i guess 😔
its hard bro everyones so hot
your options are wide open
bi yet have no bitches 😔
perpetually bi myself
but then again I like men and women but still cant pull
so real...
legs open, but options closed 😔
so did the word bisexual just summoon u @little flax
that’s crazy 💀
my mom definitely has no idea what my sexuality is i just realized
lots of fish in the sea but you have no hook 💀
cannot imagine how confusing that must be for an old woman 💀
Why do you know I am here
u were typing???
Need to me
everyone saw
I’m embarrassed
wait quick q for all yall did you guys do interviews for harvard
yes
cools
my interviewer glazed me and i didnt expect him to 💀 he seemed so disengaged
maybe bros just always like that
my interviewer HATED me 💀
goddamn it I was making last min edits to my common app again and I'm now 30 words over
I thought my interviewer hated me until I saw my file
real
he deadass told me “not to be aggressive but… resume padding aside, what do you think about…” like excuse me sir WHAT
wdym resume padding 😭😭😭
HELP
LMAOOO
he was not convinced by your activities list at ALL
oh i got asked this
I’m ngl Harvard alumni are a bit…
debby downer fr
RFK jr
at the end he was like “i’m so glad i get to do these interviewers, they give me a… (looks me up and down)… reality check.”
please
AINT NO WAY
I mean... he is a harvard alum isnt he
guys dont go to the dunkin next to the domino's if the witchy looking lady is working
this is why i hate men smh
bro somehow you got the most backhanded interviewer ever
crazy shit
I haven’t the foggiest where this is
tbf i choked on my apple cider halfway through and coughed wretchedly for like five minutes 💀
like past adams dhall
near bluemoon smoke shop
I remember mine asked me what I would say to confederacy supporters
Really pushed my limits of intellectual vitality
i’m living proof that the alumni interview is just to make the alums feel special
well it's okay to be bisexual, no need to be embarrassed about that
the amount of judgemental white men I see on a daily basis is crazy
i swear theyre like
"oh this is who theyre letting in nowadays"
like SORRY I AM QUEER
bro i walk in and get out my phone to check how much money i have and she goes "what do you want" and i said "oh im looking for sec" and she goes "how longs it gonna be?"
"uhhh not that long"
"what you've never been to a dunkin?!?"
LIKE HELLO?? THAT WAS NOT NECESSARY
CRYIGN 😭
uh huh uh huh
wait where are the other ppl in my class, i swear i’ve interacted with some before
i think they’re just not as active
you dont need to knwo anymore here 💀
i was abt to say "sure u wanna interact with them?"
LMFAO
but i held my tongue
HOW CAN THEY ALREADY BE THAT BAD?? 😭😭😭
me (inshallah)
talk to like SiO2 he chill
lessgooo 🔥🔥
what are cat moms called
do they have names
u would know this
lesbos??
queens
ok maybe not this
HUH 😦
jazzy telling a minor to call them mommy caught in 4k 📸
you are probably about kace's age
i’m 17 💀
HELLO IM 18
i turned 18 in September ill have u know
i am an adult!
old
i should prolly eat before my 6 hour shift tmrw but
i dont wanna wake up
decisions decisions
if i wake up at 11 thats like 7 hours of sleep and i get food
guys dont fuck up ur sleep schedule the moment break hits
cus the day u have to wakeup in the am will kill you
I HAVE TO WAKEUP AT 8:30 AM ON TUESDAY AND BE AWAKE FOR A FULL DAY
TIL MIDNIGHT
wait guysss
i could highkey pickup another shift tmrw...
and work 8.25 hours
just fuckin sleep
BUT THE SHIFT IS OPEN TO BE TAKEN
NO ONES TAKEN IT
ok i took it goodnight!
anyone willing to look at my supps just a lil bit... 👉 👈
Totally valid
i need an unhinged beginning to the roommate suppliment
sure thing
Any RD applicants get the portal yet?
Is sending both the optional LOR's too much?
Two of my major ec mentors are willing to write and both are extremely important to me
I wouldn’t think so
They give you the option
thanks
I couldn't live with that stress lol
im gonna submit either tmr or 31st lol
I’ll probably submit all of mine on the 1st though
Even the ones that are due like on the 10th
what my cc told me was that if they all highlight diff parts of you then it’s fine, but if they’re all going over the same thing then it’s kinda just voices in a choir and doesn’t rlly impact anything
i ended up only submitting one optional
The 2 optional ones are completely different field related, one's community service the other a tech mentor I had
then i’d say go for it!
This disagreement prompt is rly tripping me up my memory sucks i cant remember more than a couple of arguments that Ive had in the past yr
usssss
I'm gonna take a break....and watch velocipastor..
yoo.. is it weird to mention Primal Scream on the roommate essay?
how can it be executed well, obv there is a boundary. any ideas?
“I hope my roommate is excited to see me naked, because I can’t wait to participate in primal scream!”
Jk dont do that
Um
Im not sure💀
?
there’s like 3 different definitions of primal scream and none of them seem good 💀💀💀
Irs during finals week where everyone run arounds the yard completely naked
OH 💀
harvard activities
Does that actually happen
Average Harvard student fr
lol
yep there are even videos out there (watched them for research purposes)
oh no it happens
lmaoo. maybe can say like "I'd love to know you more, both in inside and outside (which I hope I will achieve during Primal Scream)"
too risky?
It would be very funny but they would probably not appreciate it
Yeah....
😭
I did
im taking a risk with the roommate essay
but i feel like going with it
question, how casual can this essay get
I think that as long as your writing is comprehensible and not outright distasteful, good execution can make basically any style of writing work
As long as harmless fun is not a death threat against your future roommate
I don’t believe so
i'll have them read it if i get in (CMON PLEEEAASEEEE HARVARD)
well it's not a letter
it's just 3 things
if you write it too much like a letter you run the risk of them thinking you pasted the stanford essay
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
How we feeling about essays chat
we pissed off about the roommate essay
do i address it to the roommate
or just state 3 things
state 3 things
you can address them directly a little bit but just be mindful it's not a letter that's all
doesn’t matter, i directly addressed my roommate
harvard esays is 150 words right?
for some resaon on the doc i made back in september it says preferred 100 words
ok cool
it says it can be answered in 100
limit is 150
it says it can be answered in ~100 but it doesn’t matter
bouta get this done tdy
if u need 150 that’s chill
hello kaz when when can i expect the commitment to harvard
just dont go outside midnight the last day of reading period
lock my doors and shutter the windows 😭
not a fan of naked men running through your courtyard?
ive seen 3 pantsless men in harvard yard and all were because they were peeing on john 💀
and about the quirky ahh greeting i was planning to do?
omg spill
let me see the quirk
depends on the greeting 💀
im second guessing that whole essay cus it feels like too personal to the roomie and would look like i pasted the stanford letter....
“salutations, my fellow harvardee!”
ur overthinking it 💀
Hello, Co-Captain of the Dorm Adventures!
please say this isnt what u said
one of the options 😭
i just did "dear future roommates,"
jesus im gonna get rejected just based on this suppliment
impossible, you'd be rejected on a lot of things not one bad supplement
wait not like
“hey roomie” is perfectly fine my man trust 😭😭🙏
LMFAOOO
ik ik
no one is rejected based on one bad supp is my point 😭
sigh, was just tryna be unique🫠
is anybody here reading supps? i need feedback on a corny one that i wrote the other day 😭
me too!!
Bro WHAT 😭
I didn’t do this at all lol
i wouldnt worry about it
mine was a letter
Mine is kinda just addressed to whoever is reading my app
Maybe I should change it to be a letter
wait...is letter is not good?
i dont think it matters that much
kace wrote a letter
Well he goes to Harvard
Yeah maybe I will change it
my friend that got in made it very much not a letter
so i think as long as you convey information about you
We’ll see how I feel after Duke essays 
Probably not
😬
hmm hopefully its good
yo
for the final prompt I’m just worried that maybe my wording is wrong
Should I address it like I’m talking to my roommate
Yes
Thats somehow worse than what i said
what are yalls topics for the disagree essay
Depwnds on how bad
I think you can but it’s not necessary
Such as a supp on primal scream
An art experience I had
U can do that
Depends on how you write it
all examples online i see are disagreements with other people mainly from school
tied to some activity
A lot of schools do stuff like that anyway
bomb threat supp perhaps
Mine is disagreement with an idea and then a specific person correcting me
Mine is from the beginning of this year
I didn’t, I am not role playing with the ao
This is so real lol
It seems kinda weird to me so I kinda just want to keep it how I have it
And I’m not telling my roommate how I think eating hot sauce connects to me on a deeper level 😭
Which is just listing the things out and how I could connect to my roommate through them
lmaoo, I’m just tryna keep it kinda simple and light hearted (so talk abt nfl sundays, music and food)
but it feels weird saying
stuff
like just stating facts about myself with no like energy
light hearted is energy in and of itself 👀
just write how you normally would
I can’t it looks too cringe man
as long as you’re not using too much slang and spelling things correctly i promise you’re fine 🙏
okay bet
should I bother with like
extra punctuation and stuff
for dramatic effect
fair enough 💀
im saying like
If I was to say
like
I watch American football and British football (not soccer) or something silly like that
Basically tryna be funny
but yeah I’m being dumb ☠️
sure that seems like a good thing to tell your roommate
esp if it’s like a playful “i might be loud friday nights bc i’m cheering for my team” or smth
idk i’m not a big footballer 💀
yeah lmao I getchu dw
not really but i just put all 2s
for the roommate prompt, is it cringe to include stuff about harvard (like mentioning a building or smth)
no i think ur fine if you mention that. it can show how you'll interact with the campus and how familiar you are with it
is a format like:
- (one thing)
- (second thing)
- (third thing)
acceptable for the roommate question?
or should it all just be one paragraph
Yes
thanks! I just wanted to check bc it seemed like a very informal question
Yeah that’s the format I’m doing
You can write it like a letter too I think but they don’t specify
can't you just replace it with an em dash
and get rid of the spaces right before and after it
em dash my beloved ❤️
I love the em dash so much
Like in this kind of narrative writing especially
It just feels so natural
college apps have forever changed my writing style because of my now overuse of em dashes
this and also i be pulling out like
thus and shit 💀
semicolons to save a word from a conjunction ❤️
I love thus
I love the word methinks but I can’t use that in a college app now can I 
sure u can
zizek entered my life in sophomore year. if only i had a reason to use "as it were" and "vis-a-vis" in college essays
Proofs classes have ruined me with "thus" 💀
"Therefore", "Trivially", "It follows", "As a logical conclusion"
god the last 2 harvard essays really are bugging me
I'm happy with 3/5 of mine rn, need to redo the "harvard education in future" and roommate essays
especially the second to last question for me
yeah definitely
I've gone through quite a few drafts
I'm happy with my central idea, but the prose and delivery isn't cutting it for me
i know some people here gave tips but honestly i'm struggling to write something that i feel proud of
yeah I get you
Oml it follows haunts me
would using y'all in my roommate essay be alright
Anyone got the portal?
wdym
OH THE WORD
yeah of course
i was like bro gonna mention a2c that's crazy
LMAOOO
mentioning a2c to your roommate 💀
not a terrible idea if you did it right tbh
"hey are you in a2c too?"
I feel like my roommate stuff is kinda basic bitch things tbh
i honestly can't see myself telling anybody i know irl that i'm on here 💀
if someone irl joined i think i would pass away
probably doesn't matter that much
- is how I would geek out about nearly any topic with my roommates if they want to (except anything business related)
- is how I get obsessed with music and like to play stuff on repeat
- is about squash
i'm pre sure it's just to get to know more abt you & figure out what role ur on campus would be
right right
I think I'm prolly making it deeper than it rlly is
found it
it's not deep apparently
one of mine is about my alarm being really annoying since it's a meme song 😭
not annoying but iconic lol
also wait isn't the opting in for an interview choice on common app
I cant find it rn
i actually dont remember
lemme check my app
nope it's not
that's yale
Harvard i dont think lets you opt in
^
i live in a rural area so i doubt i'm getting an interview for anything
or maybe virtual ig
but in person sounds so much cooler
Stanford one was virtual for me
idk if the interviews even have an impact
When do interviews even come out
like approx schedule
its not deep, @little flax literally wrote his about kissing men, liking feet, and reading among us fanfic. Those 3 things
a true intellectual
ahh right
so they’ll just reach out if they want to interview you?
god I was in the zone with editing my essays and now I’m in the waiting room for a dentists appointment
yep
wait so like… what if they dont?
your application is complete without an interview
i got two and i got deferred
means nothing
wait you can get more than 1?
yep
i got an alumni interview
then a senior admissions officer followed up for a second interview
huh interesting
so i really wouldnt worry about it they do whatever they want
imagine they give me a third interview during regular
tbh i'm only satisfied with one of my supplimentss
congrats! A deferral is incredibly impressive & means they think you're qualified enough :D
for harvard not particularly since 83% get deferred
however the ao interview is interesting
i believe after one of those its like a 50% chance of acceptance or something
so i would not be shocked if she got in RD based on that
isnt it lowkey a random drawing for harvard since there's so many qualified applicants? 🧐
but anyway shhhh let them be happy :(
i mean im sure they know the statistic 😭 thats why i added the ao comment
cus like, ppl who rea and get ao interviewed usually get in
which is why its so interesting and i think they have a better chance for rd
idek what ao means 😔
admissions officer
ah ok
idk anyone who got in who did not have an interview, i believe they try to interview everyone
yeah it's 55% kinda crazy
no expectations but im also not really worried i already got accepted into a college i would go to so im just chilling and wrapping up RD
hopefully!!
makes sense, i think u have a great chance for id just based on that ao interview ngl 💀 dont need to be super specific but do u have any like special ec that may need verification by an ao?
my main ec is a really weird one and i thought that's what it was about but they didnt ask me about it at all lmao
maybe interviewer said u were so cool that they wanted to see for themselves fr
LMAO hopefully 🤞 just gotta do LOCI and see for RD
you're so kind
no i was elaborating on the statistic
everyone knows the thing abt deferral which is why i highlighted ao part 😭
kace is a very kind individual
thank you for spreading your much needed wise knowledge then
please u know im too autistic for this i cant tell ur tone 💀
can anyone please help me check my Harvard supplements 😭
it's sarcastic 😭
do you guys do a2meetups
i see too much of him
oh boy do we
now that i think about it why are you light and chris is L
i have no clue ngl
ive met chris jazzy smoof halo hsxd
uh
i am likely forgetting someone
And I am now rewriting the disagreement essay cus I just remembered a heated debate I had in class once 💀
i see chris like once a week and i see jazzy and smoof daily 💀
live footage of you guys
me and chris at el jefes
😭
ur flare thing next to ur name confused me for a sec
i thought it said banbananth
like the garten of ban ban
LMAO
it's banana anth
because banana
it's too late for this 😭
it looks more like banana ath 🧐
Shakespeare ahh banana
finally done with the Harvard supps holy shit
well, done in the sense that I'm finally happy with em
great work!! :D
I finished earlier, so now I'm just gonna have my friend peer-review a bit before I submit
congrats both of you!
tysm!
also I found conflicting info, is Harvard need-blind for international students?
yes
aight cool cool
wdym by conflicting info
yea
one of the few schools that are so W
I saw a thread that said no but probably some mfs spreading misinfo
yeah theyre wrong
most schools aren’t so that’s probably where the confusion comes from
i am staying with all the poor intls over winter break its so fire
right so I'll tick yes for aid on my common app lol
harry potter moment
wait thats awesome
wait that’s sick ngl
honestly the worst part of applying to harvard is like the voices in your head telling you you're not good enough lol
my harvard app is so ass
this stays til like end of college ngl 💀
some ppl said it stopped like when junior year started
🤷 it's ok, a harvard admission/rejection won't make or break the rest of your career or life
yeah im not worried about it at all
its just hilarious
😄 thats the spirit
like it's kinda funny they didnt throw it into the trash right away
musta liked it a bit
out of curiosity, did ppl who got deferred have to submit another essay?
from my harvard supp 💀
you can submit LOCI
so new updates
and an additional LOR if you want
What does LOCI stand for?
letter of continued interest
this is what they say
oh alright. I was just curious bc I heard from ppl who were deferred from cwru that they had to submit an essay to be considered for rd
and i was like oh, I didn't know schools did that
I guess it depends on the school
no, cwru does a funny thing
Ooh I know somebody that got in here
because the early application has no essays
Also, one of my activities is like an “art” thing but not rlly, I’m wondering whether it’d be worth sending a portfolio over fot
✋ that's why I know abt it in the first place lol
I don’t think my art is like particularly amazing and I’m worried if I do send a portfolio I’ll look like an idiot
I live in Ohio and have family in Cleveland lol
But I won’t be applying because it’s STEM and I want to leave Ohio
have you written about the art or included it in ecs
if it sounds better in writing than visually then you have your answer
its in my ecs
but also sometimes they dont even look
but not in any supps
I unfortunately have no family in ohio, so my only lifeline would be my best friend who already committed to case
😔
friend i know that got into harvard last year submitted french horn video and had french horn in their ecs, didnt even get looked at by the AO or the music dept
im wondering whether or not i should even keep it in ECs, i have other things I could swap it for but the art stuff has been particularly meaningful tbh
well the EC list is really just another "what matters to you" list so it's up to you
i cant say anything abt harvard, but in case western's little personalized P.S. at the bottom of my acceptance letter was entirely focused on the fact that I play tenor sax lol
so ig some schools would really like certain instruments to help fill their ensembles
that's so cool omg
Ya, I'm not rlly incredible at it tho or anything 🤧
I've just done it throughout high school for fun and honestly haven't been enjoying it this year, but maybe college will be able to refresh my interest 🤷
true enough ig
my whole commonapp essay is about my top EC lol
what are commonapp essays normally about btw?
I wrote abt diabetes bc... well... I'm diabetic lol, so it was really easy to get invested into the topic
But I'm kinda curious what else people would write about, since not much else came to my mind when storming up ideas
people write about experiences that shaped them, ideas they care about, their ecs, their family or their upbringing, challenges they faced
pretty much anything you can think of
W
ya, I guess I'm more interested in seeing what other people I meet wrote about rather than as a whole
brooo
this is too real 😭
Bro im already scared
like i submitted my app
but i already begun the doomscrolling process
i gotchu
thanks bro
I'll dm now
My music portfolio also wasn’t looked at
idk if this would help anyone thats on fence, but the admissions office just told me that even if i didnt apply for aid on my application, i can change that and request it even after ive been accepted
which is pretty interesting, i wonder if i would get less if i asked rn
wait does anyone know if the little section on the common app where they ask to indicate what activities you wanna do at harvard matters
this whole section
I don’t see how it could
yeah it just seems like data gathering most likely
chat what's a maker portfolio
i think maker is just another word for a creative/artist
so like if you do pottery or creative writing you can submit that stuff
there's a separate section for creative writing
If I took courses at a community college through dual enrollment do I have to officially send the transcript over to Princeton? or is there a place on the portal where I can upload it?
Chat for scoir do lors sync with common app like even when it says not submitted in common app but it says submitted on scoir is that fine
Send the transcript to your hs registrar and have them put the courses on your hs transcript
wouldn't your school counselor send those over?
no since its at a community college
not affiliated with my school at all
That worked for me at least
hmm i see
i did dual enrollment and my counselor just sent my stuff over
@orchid fog can you send them to your high school
do you have official or unofficial transcripts
for the cc
anything like that would be too late now
i have official ones i sent to myself
check to see if u can upload on princeton portal
Is this not for the midyear report?
i havent turned it in yet
If they're classes you took this semester they only expect to see them on midyear report, but yeah if they were from previous years and they're not on your transcript I'm not entirely sure
You can probably submit it in the addl material even though they don't explicitly list it
Or pay to send it over
lowk just email
.
Yeah
Idk how time sensitive it is, but if it can wait till after the deadline then emailing is also a good idea
does anyone know when harvard portal should arrive + when alumni interviews come out? i submitted yesterday.
so funny lmao
i did EA so it’s prolly different for me, but i got my portal back the day after i submitted and i got my interview 10 days after
there were a lot less people in EA tho so it was prolly quicker for me, and i live in the biggest city in my state so it didn’t take too long
i submitted mine a couple hours before the deadline if that matters 💀
I think interviews are usually like late January early February?
From what I’ve seen online
pulling up rn
alright, last day, i've ordered food made the coffee, lets finish the damn essays
😬
You got this!
I just finished mine so there is light at the end of the tunnel
You got this 💪
prolly no
they use some kinda formula
interesting, most ppl for rea got interviewed like immediately
bro i was freaking out last year cus everyone here got theirs by november 6th
and i wasnt notified til nov 12 💀
like ppl wre getting interview notifs nov 3rd and i was like ????
well, when i say i live in the biggest city in my state, its like saying im the tallest gnome
im still pretty damn short
LMAO
rural twins ⁉️
or do u live in like wisconsin or sum
would anyone be comfortable sharing their name for this one?
i dont wanna put the discord user of someone ive talked to
harvard ppl: is saloniki's looked upon favorably for food on harvard campus & is it well known? i went there when i visited the campus but i'm not sure if AOs will know what that is (although it seemed pretty popular so i think i'm overthinking 😭)
i havent been but they should know yes
cus its in smith campus center
LMAO
Name, if known you can also just leave it blank
im pretty sure
just put down chris you already know his name @dusty vale
Bottom tier restaurant but recognizable
when i did my tour i had lunch at this mexican restaurant, i dont remember what it was called tho
had this delicious swordfish with mango rice
the painted burro, thats what it was
it was soooo good
was it felipe's?
i also went there
felipe's was much better than saloniki in my experience
maybe i'll talk about felipe's then 😭 i was only using saloniki since it tied in with something else i said in my app
oh wait you just said it was the paintedburro
LOL nvm
its not that deep 😭 theyre not gonna reject you bc they dont like the restaurant, if you enjoyed it thats all that matters
it shows interest in the community there lol
Do you guys know if they'll pay for flights to whatever they call their visiting weekend
I guess it's better than schools that don't have visiting weekends and I won't be able to actually see till orientation 💀
^ on the admitted student portal
i think that can damage your app actually
cause they might think you have conenctions or something
idk
i need someone to correct me if i'm wrong
Sick thank you!!!
i think its more so just to see what methods of advertising work the best for harvard + for people whose parents have donated buildings to make themselves known 💀
i dont think it makes a difference one way or another
oh alr
Yeah
that sounds like felipes
i like jefe's more though
this profiles not my choice btw
nah it was fs the painted burro
oh thats a restauratn?
yeah neither of those places r that fancy
so it probably is
bingus
bingus
i lost a bet in an online game so i have to have a silly profile for a few days
yep if you have legacy, prof/staff connection, etc this is a place to share, and then it's also just to gauge what works for harvard outreach. they dont track demonstrated interest so mentioning vs not mentioning a tour doesnt matter much
if they actually helped you out then yes
theres no harm putting someone down
i did put the name of someone i met n a summer program 💀
W bingus
i lowkey was doing too much for it
thats so real
i completely overthought the "what activities are you interested in in order of importance"
like i had to sit down with my college counselor to ask him whether i should put sailing over community service and he was just so done with my shit 💀
LMAO
lowkey i think i trolled the activity one
im pretty sure i put frisbee
This is so real 😭
i think my rationale of why putting sailing above community service ws bad was bc "oh what if they think im being selfish and putting my needs over the needs of others" like.
it was bad bad 💀
that's so funny
I thought the admissions office was on holiday but i got a reply back to a question i sent 💀 do they always work or sm
Its harvard they care so little about demonstrated interest
Yeah I was actually psychoanalysing how the admissions officers would build up who I am through that list 💀
Lmaooo I over analyzed that shit for a solid half hr like that was gon make or break my app
Submitted so ill see u guys on decision day 🫡
How do i update harvard if i get a new award after Jan 1
do i just use the supplementary material pdf upload since they said i can do application updates and edits there as well?
upload into applicant portal
they have a place to add anything you want to your app
Alright awesome
do you guys think I’d be penalised if my 2nd recommender submits his letter slightly after the deadline
cuz deadass I talked to him about it since november, said he’d do it in december, completely ghosted me through the break
no
u cant control him and they know that
just email them if he doesnt submit by deadline to like give a headup or smth so they put it in ur file
and thats prolly not even necessary, but like for ur own peace of mind
Would anyone be willing to review one supp I’m getting a little paranoid rewriting lol
It’s the education one word count is fine idk if content is tho
Hello pal,
Listen, I’ve got to tell you, nobody—nobody—is funnier than me, okay? I’m the funniest person you’re ever going to meet. People say it all the time. They say, 'Chad, you’re hilarious, nobody does it like you!' And let me tell you, I don’t even try. I’m just naturally funny. Tremendous humor, bro, the best humor. You’ll see it. You’ll be laughing, believe me. And I know you’re going to love it. Some people, they try to be funny, but trust me, they’re not. You’ll see. I’m going to make this the funniest place, it’s going to be incredible. You’ll thank me for it.
roommate essay
is it bad?
damn
😭
no
wtf is this
submit this if you want to lower the acceptance rate
get rid of all of this and talk about a personality trait/quirky hobby of yours
gotta be rage bait right
i hope so omg
i spot an aespa fan

oh i’m sorry 😭
did u like it 😢
hahah, all my people love my eccentric self absorbed ahh
wait just curious is it supposed to be a parody of trump
yeah!
LOL
I was wondering that as well lmao
bro they're not gonna auto reject bc you chose to not take one class😭
I don't think they reject over that tbh
At least, if you show that you used other opportunities for classes well
Like I theoretically could've taken another year of Arabic but I chose to take a ton of de math classes instead
At least I hope they don't reject or put you significantly lower for it 💀
The reality is that they reject 95% students anyway lol
Yeah we only have Arabic and Russian haha
Ok except now I'm reading online and maybe it does actually matter a fair amount?
Well too late now 💀
😭
I'm seeing very mixed messages online

They just say recommended there though
"we recommend"
i dont think its that deep
as long as u justify why you didnt/couldnt do 4 years
I feel like it's kinda unfair cause I wouldn't have been able to take calc or physics last year if I did a foreign language
Yeah I'm just not going to worry about it, I can't do anything now
i think u can say a similar thing to @lunar shoal
cause you can take a limited number of classes at once right
Was I supposed to mention it in my app though?
would've been better if you did
but even if u didn't ngl it's only a tiny tiny disadvantage
I hope so 😭
lmao they not gonna reject u bc u didnt do 4 yrs of foreigj language 😭
I briefly thought about uploading something to the portal but that just seems desperate
I only did two (out of three) though 💀
me too
We'll get through it 🙏
id imagine that course rigor would be more important
But you're probably right lol, I'm returning to my original stance that they probably wouldn't reject someone over that
Yeah
You would think especially for a STEM applicant
happy new years eve!
Hey looking for any willing verified students to review a 150 word supp would gladly appreciate I can’t tell if tone is right
