BOOOMM🤑

[karmic flax]

can we please keep the conversation related to the school or take it to gen chat or lounge chat

[glossy jolt]

mbmb

harvard harvard

harvard square

hrvrd

[tame cargo]

like honestly what tf could i have done. this was my decision progress

• stanford -> too many legacies at my school
• harvard, mit -> sky high deferral rate
• cornell, upenn, yale, columbia, jhu -> haven't visited so i didn't feel comfortable EDing
• caltech -> small school (impossible admission)
• cmu -> i visited and love SCS but my mom is still convinced ucb eecs is better (she's d1 berkeley glazer)

caltech was the only choice that was satisfactory

yes

[tame cargo]

^

i used to live in socal so i like socal schools in general

[glossy jolt]

whats nd?

north dakota

ohhh notre dame

woah

[tame cargo]

weird

usc did not want to fund my national merit scholarship 🤧

cash protecting

[tame cargo]

nah it's chill my dad has beef with usc 💀

and their grad program

when he worked in socal he said that nearly all USC grad students were mid in interview and it made the rare UCLA student applicant seem cracked

[obsidian nexus]

they changed the rubric i think

[tame cargo]

how so?

[tame cargo]

i think that's a lie tbh

cuz this was on my harvard interview email. to add some context, our area's huge harvard club that runs most interviews in our area (across all schools) and if you can't get scheduled, a lone alumni reaches out to you

Please let me know your preferred time as soon as possible and I will confirm your interview time. Interview reports are due by February 3rd.

or maybe it does satisfy point (2) and i'm in an area where point (2) is basically always necessary

[floral briar]

Bro why do they delay it so much for us then😭😭😭
Last year they were held like at the end of February ☠️☠️☠️

[rapid wave]

The real deadline is later

My interview is in late February

[tame cargo]

this is possible

whered u get this

idk if this is real or not but i found a post on DC urban moms ☠️

https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/15/1116065.page

it has the same content

[floral briar]

So tense waiting 🙃😞

[tame cargo]

but that's taken from a reputable source so it might be true

[rapid wave]

This is class of 2028 applications

Who cares about 2029

[hoary schooner]

guys lets all just assume we were auto admits

no interview = autoadmit

[tame cargo]

i got outplayed in my yale interview

[hoary schooner]

delulu is the solulu

[tame cargo]

like why tf are you asking me "why i want to study at your school"

[hoary schooner]

if you can be delulu about a guy you can be delulu about the harvard interview

[tame cargo]

mit and harvard didn't ask me that shit

[rapid wave]

Interviews are minorish

[tame cargo]

mine didn't lol

[hoary schooner]

stanford asked me that too ur not special

[rapid wave]

I need to figure out the answers to the common questions they ask

So I don’t get confused

[floral briar]

Yes plz

[rapid wave]

She’s

Sure*

[tame cargo]

honestly interviews are very different depending on your interviewer

[rapid wave]

I only applied S and H

[last fossil]

dependent*

[tame cargo]

buddy why are you grammar policing me

i'm pretty sure ur also wrong

[last fossil]

no not grammar

[tame cargo]

oh

lol

sorry if that came off as mean

i somehow got the same yale interviewer as one of my friends and he asked the same questions to both of us :wesh:

[rapid wave]

My Harvard interviewer graduated from Harvard in like 1972

[hoary schooner]

thats uh

actually wait nvm its not 2032

who am i kidding

[tame cargo]

my mit interviewer was class of 1971 lol

probably retired and have a lot of time on their hands

[rapid wave]

76*

[tame cargo]

ok for those ppl who (1) got an interview request and (2) had the interview deadline due date in their email, what was it?

yea

mine was 2/3 but that was one data point

i meant due date

oh mine was with an alumni club lol

wait r u also in california

oh nvm then

[hoary schooner]

im intl im fucked

[quasi shadow]

Still no interview kinda tragic but I don’t think there’s a lot of alumni here

[hoary schooner]

WHO THE FUCK GOT SECOND

[tame cargo]

what they have multiple interviews 💀

[hoary schooner]

SAVE SOME FOR THE REST OF US

[quasi shadow]

My friend got a yale interview but not a harvard one

So far

[hoary schooner]

omfg

ykw harvard isnt a good school anyway

i dont see how thats necessary

unless thye doubt that you did what you said

if ur on the fence they just waitlist you no?

why waste the time and resources for second int

[last fossil]

Wow!
So that's the best indicator after a likely letter then

[hoary schooner]

ive seen poeple who have said they did but thats a bit strange to me

wdym through email

[last fossil]

explain this.
asking for proof of LOR is for boderline students?

[tame cargo]

admitted class of 2029?

[last fossil]

what's your typing speed 💀

[hoary schooner]

probably 130+

[last fossil]

frr

[obsidian nexus]

teehee

[hoary schooner]

how is she not dead

[tame cargo]

in-state or oos

[last fossil]

wtf.. everyone is fast here

[hoary schooner]

www.monkeytype.com alright guys while we crash out for harvrad lets check

[tame cargo]

i would say it's good in oos

oh

yea berkeley is my local uc

[last fossil]

haven't done much

[tame cargo]

actually it's UCSC

💀

but it's by a close margin

[hoary schooner]

sadge

im on macbook

where di you go for rea

[last fossil]

how is this even possible
are you touch typing?

[hoary schooner]

yes

[last fossil]

damn

[hoary schooner]

im also the sloweest person here

[hoary schooner]

nevermind im the second slowest

but 126 is still good

[tame cargo]

wait who else has 1600

[last fossil]

no, i am
90wpm

[hoary schooner]

me i have ACT 36

[last fossil]

did u apply early anywhere

[tame cargo]

issok my 1600 at least got me into purdue

[last fossil]

tf?! 😭

[hoary schooner]

for cs? thats goated

tf

purdue is KNOWN for eng

[rapid wave]

Stanford defer is a good sign

They only defer people who are close

[hoary schooner]

stanford defers the people who can get in

[rapid wave]

Unlike Harvard who defers a ton of people

[tame cargo]

my mom is no longer disapointed in me

[rapid wave]

Most schools defer people who have 0 chance

[hoary schooner]

also if youre cali

thats uh

[rapid wave]

Stanford doesn’t

[hoary schooner]

unfortunate

[tame cargo]

i wouldn't say happy though (yet)

[tame cargo]

where in cali

if ur right next to stanford in the bay it's cooked

[hoary schooner]

serena is cali

[tame cargo]

at my school i only know of faculty legacies got deferred

[hoary schooner]

broski stf and pcton are both opt in

stop worrying

[tame cargo]

some guy who was international geo bee winner or sm ridiculous shit like that got rejected

[last fossil]

Me with 0 interviews 😭

[hoary schooner]

rizz up girls not unis

[tame cargo]

i'm trying

it's an uphill battle

[hoary schooner]

where

[tame cargo]

stanford

cuz my school has hella faculty not to mention some professor legacies

[hoary schooner]

stanford doesnt look for insane comps

[rapid wave]

I should have applied to Yale just to rizz up the interviewer

[tame cargo]

everybody and their mom here has a stanford internship or sm shit like that

mine didn't either

🫂

berkeley in-state is very much doable 🫡

[hoary schooner]

harvard is just quirky guys

[rapid wave]

All UCs in state are easy if you have high class rank as long as your school isn’t crazy competitive

[tame cargo]

berkeley eecs would make my mom happy (finally)

[tame cargo]

💀 💀 🪖

[hoary schooner]

isnt uc essays not that important

[tame cargo]

uhhhh they're pretty important

[rapid wave]

Not trying but succeeding

[hoary schooner]

whats t10 for you, ivies + SM?

[tame cargo]

some kid from my school 2 yrs ago got rejected from all UCs

[tame cargo]

has pretty insane ecs

should i have applied jhu

or northwestern

[rapid wave]

How were his grades?

[tame cargo]

or uchicago

[tame cargo]

1 B in 1 semester ☠️

or was it 1B in 2 semesters

i forget

[rapid wave]

His application must’ve been a huge red flag

[tame cargo]

he did

wait did he even apply

i forget

2023

[rapid wave]

UCs don’t do LOR

[tame cargo]

he got rejected UCSB tho

i want to say he did not

since he got into 1 nice oos school for cs

target

no that's not how ELC works

[raw shell]

It doesnt

[tame cargo]

ELC is very much separated from the application process

[raw shell]

It only offers you certain admission to a campus (Merced)

If he was CS, no UC is a safety

Each has competitive programs in their own manner

[tame cargo]

if u don't get into a single UC and are top 9% in class, you get offerred a spot at another UC that u didn't get into (usually merced)

[raw shell]

That's the objective of Merced

It was design to support Central Valley kids

And to ensure kids who didn't get a UC get a UC education

[tame cargo]

his stats were pretty stacked

[raw shell]

Solid UC, will be way better in 10, 20 years when we are all in our 30s and 40s

[tame cargo]

ecs were less so but he was pretty impressive

[raw shell]

I mean its holistic for a reason

[hoary schooner]

wrong channel

[raw shell]

This is not Stanford

[tame cargo]

same (not happening)

[raw shell]

Unless you applied to schools with ARs below 10% I doubt that

You seem to have a strong application

Oh

[hoary schooner]

safeties?

[raw shell]

UMich isn't a safety per say

UCSC depends on the year

UCSB is not a safety generally

[raw shell]

Especially if its one of their unique programs

[tame cargo]

(and no i did not actually put that)

[raw shell]

Honestly so based

Be upfront and honest

[tame cargo]

i'm not rich (yet)

[raw shell]

You will make them even more rich and more famous

[tame cargo]

gotta have the mindset

[tame cargo]

buddy CCS was rizzing up all applicants from my school with a 4.0

[raw shell]

Its funny lol

I just like Bushisms

[tame cargo]

they were like "plesae apply so i can say that ccs wants you to admissions committee"

ucsb program

[raw shell]

I mean thats their job

Doesn't mean they'll get in

Uchicago sends mail to everyone, doesn't mean everyone has a chance at Uchicago

Otherwise they'd be the largest school by population based off the mail they send

[tame cargo]

how tf do they review all ccs applicants in 15 days then

i'm confused

[raw shell]

Don't know tbh

[tame cargo]

nvm it's a moot discussion

[raw shell]

Yeah better in the UC channel if you want

Anyways good luck everyone with your Harvard apps, I'm sure either way you'll all do great when it comes to college no matter where you go

[reef grove]

i don’t think so, from what i’ve seen likelies are for people that need an extra heads up before the rest of applicants. people that like in super remote areas, very poor people, athletes. i don’t see why giving a smart person a decision early would help anything lol, they can wait their turn 💀

don’t do it 😭 just do poli sci, more diversity in career options and you can still go to law school

[tame cargo]

wait what other schools do likelies

[obsidian nexus]

3s

[obsidian nexus]

likelies are for students that they dont think will attend

likelies are a yield increase mechanism

[floral briar]

I mean who would reject Harvard except Kaz

☠️

[reef grove]

yeah they compare you to past applicants from your school if there are no other applicants this year

[obsidian nexus]

except kaz is wild

usually stem kids that would rather go to MIT/caltech

[floral briar]

.

Litr her

[obsidian nexus]

@reef grove is turning down harvard

march 1

[floral briar]

Serena williams

Calm down

[reef grove]

bro i don’t have enough pe credits to graduate i don’t think sports factors in v much if ur not recruited athlete

[floral briar]

Who said we getting the rest 2s?

[obsidian nexus]

what does that even mean

the numbers also dont inform an admission

[floral briar]

WHAT DOES
WTF DOES MAN
It's so complicated

[obsidian nexus]

yeah but they dont inform admissions i believe

interesting

getting a 1 on anything is kinda tough though

and with coin flip odds you still have a good chance of not flipping the right way

[floral briar]

Why seeing this and my profile gives me so much hope

But it actually never happens

☠️☠️

[obsidian nexus]

43% means out of 100 they're not taking 57 people, so...

[floral briar]

Even Darty trolled me
The gave me an interview (intl)
Reached my school for updates
And the deferred me 😂😭

[floral briar]

Fr fr
Then what decides it

[obsidian nexus]

it means that you are probably #1 in your class, have won an olympiad or one of those international competitions, and have shared your learning with other people

[obsidian nexus]

vibes

its all vibes

they like you or they dont

lmao

probably the most unhelpful answer thats also true

[floral briar]

Did

[floral briar]

But idk, systems so weird

[obsidian nexus]

nah you'll probably get accepted

ill bet money

fr

always the most competitive applicants that start dooming

ill take it

jkjk but like i do believe you will get in

[reef grove]

no i only got one, i think they only do more if they have more questions abt you. why give two more interviews to someone already qualified

[obsidian nexus]

i got a second one and i didnt get in

nothing is as it seems so might as well not stress about it

harvard is officially speaking availability based

is this you

[floral briar]

Yes

[hoary schooner]

which olympiads

[floral briar]

space
Physics
And geography

[obsidian nexus]

nice take: yeah AOs are kinda crazy not to accept you
mean take: there are probably 100+ people with the same stats as you and even if they accepted every valedictorian they would still only accept 1% of valedictorians

but yeah i would be very hopeful if i were you

[floral briar]

Intl
And yes I have 2 national wins too

[obsidian nexus]

both

im also not going to tell anybody to NOT be hopeful lmao

[floral briar]

Fr, you never know

[tame cargo]

nah bruh mit too nerdy (even my mit interviewer said that and that was in the 1970s) and caltech reminds me of wildfires again

[obsidian nexus]

i really believe that most people here have a very strong chance

[hoary schooner]

i knwo someone got rejected/deferred from harvard with IMO Bronze, they were a girl, and essays couldnt have been that bad

sooo

we're cooked!

[tame cargo]

actually maybe wildires are fine

i need to live through a boston winter to see for sure

[obsidian nexus]

well, i know tons of people that are qualified for harvard/yale and would pick mit over it, so especially since they are lacking in stem and want to advance in stem, they want to give them extra time to ponder

[floral briar]

Yeah, aid is a very big downgrade for us

[obsidian nexus]

harvars is need blind for intl

[floral briar]

Harvards need blind

[tame cargo]

insane mit clout smh

[obsidian nexus]

so surprisingly you probably have an above average shot at harvard

[floral briar]

But at max 7 8 ppl

Each year

[obsidian nexus]

compared to other schools as an intl

[tame cargo]

yea if you win international olympiads ur a lock

no matter which school

mit is starting to be picky with US cs campers

[floral briar]

I know a person with 5 times as much
But he got into NYU AD ONLY

[obsidian nexus]

by virtue of being here you probably do

[floral briar]

☠️☠️☠️

[obsidian nexus]

reasonable

[floral briar]

He even had an IPHO bronze

[obsidian nexus]

NYU is a great school

[floral briar]

Yeah but Abu Dhabi...

😭

[tame cargo]

i would highkey have a hard time deciding between harvard and mit

[obsidian nexus]

oh i missed the AD part

[obsidian nexus]

i would pick MIT

in a heartbeat

[tame cargo]

not like i'm ever going to get to that stage

[obsidian nexus]

wouldnt think twice

[tame cargo]

what am i saying

[floral briar]

I mean same MIT>
but the grade deflation and tough studies 😭😭😭

[obsidian nexus]

real

[tall haven]

Guys how did I not get interview yet

[reef grove]

you’re putting words in my mouth 😭🙏

[tall haven]

I’m from mass

[last fossil]

This legit shows that around 20% of applicants have no chance

[obsidian nexus]

this is the life of polisci get used to it

[tall haven]

Bro did I get auto reject

[tame cargo]

going to a nerdy school makes me highkey question mit over similar level schools

it's so trenches 🪖

[tall haven]

I’m literally Cambridge etf

[last fossil]

damn

[obsidian nexus]

i wouldnt say that

its holistic

[last fossil]

i know someone with a 2.2 applying with efc 0k as an international from my skl

[floral briar]

Scam, biggest scam ☠️☠️☠️

[reef grove]

idk that doesn’t make sense to me, i mean i think if you applied that kinda demonstrates interest 💀 not much recruitment needed

[obsidian nexus]

yale says it's for the stem kids that will pick stem schools over them

the AO says that officially

[floral briar]

Guys,
Imagine all of us here get in

CRAZYYY

[quasi shadow]

"Kinda?" tough

lil bro

to put this in perspective

[obsidian nexus]

yeah

[tame cargo]

i think i had a good answer for my harvard interview question "why harvard over a stem school"

[quasi shadow]

I know a guy who was USAMO 3x

usaco gold

and ISEF

and he got a 1-

Not even a full 1

It's not kinda tough it's downright impossible

you need to be academic jesus

[obsidian nexus]

did they ask that?

[quasi shadow]

(this was for the academic rating)

[tame cargo]

harvard engineering is not the best but STM might be the best in the world

cross enrollment is always an option

[obsidian nexus]

maybe it got factored into EC

[quasi shadow]

it was only for academic, his EC rating was 2

it is wild

[tame cargo]

for me yeah

[obsidian nexus]

gotcha

[tame cargo]

bro looked at my "homework" and just asked me that 💀

[obsidian nexus]

interesting

they're not supposed to ask questions like that

[tame cargo]

i think i cooked on my answer

[quasi shadow]

I'm saying that a 1 is extraordinarily hard and realistically most people who are getting in are probably like well rounded 2s

[tame cargo]

why not

it's not dissing other schools

[obsidian nexus]

to my understanding they're not supposed to pit you against any other school in any sort of way

[tame cargo]

it's to see if you did your research about harvard's unique approach to STEM

(i learned my lesson from my yale interview)

💀

[tall haven]

Guys a Bay Area got interview

But I didn’t

[tame cargo]

we had to make a more condensed version of common app

[tall haven]

I’m so cooked

[tame cargo]

where in bay

[floral briar]

Oh WOT

[tame cargo]

that was just our alumni club

u guys are chill

[obsidian nexus]

its very normal for somebody from the bay area to get an interview

[tall haven]

I’m from mass and it’s supposed to be availability but now I’m thinking I got rejected

[obsidian nexus]

they interview until march, chill

[quasi shadow]

^

[reef grove]

i guess, but you should keep in mind that class of 2029 is a HUGE class size (right before financial crisis) + huge number of rd applicants + busy interviewers + weird locations + so much other stuff that goes on behind the scenes, if they interview as many as they can it’s v much likely not a you issue but a then issue

[tame cargo]

not in norcal!

[obsidian nexus]

W kaz

[quasi shadow]

You're chilling lil bro

cracked asf

[obsidian nexus]

0/10 rage bait

[floral briar]

I remember someone with no interview AND intl getting in to Dartmouth

[little flax]

guys prereading before subcommittees is still going on 😭they might’ve just not read ur file

[floral briar]

So ig still possible

[obsidian nexus]

lmaoaoao

[obsidian nexus]

that's right school the kids

[tall haven]

Wait is it based on when u submit

[rapid wave]

Omg fellow bush fan

[halcyon cairn]

can u share the linkk plss 🥺

[obsidian nexus]

it means you got an interview

[rapid wave]

I should have quoted him in my essays

[obsidian nexus]

like for yale doesnt mean anything because most of the things people say about yale are false

[rapid wave]

My glorious king

[tame cargo]

probably regional dependent right

[raw shell]

Rahh I love the funny Bush man

[little flax]

yes subcommittee only starts happening in feb

[raw shell]

Also no politics on his actions we're just having fun with his quotes

[tame cargo]

i'm putting my money on feb 3rd

cuz that's when bay area interviews have to be done by 💀

[tall haven]

Anyone here get interview from mass

[obsidian nexus]

according to

[tame cargo]

silicon valley only

harvard alumni club of silicon valley email

[rapid wave]

Exactly

His idiocy is just so funny to me

[obsidian nexus]

lol

only one of mine did

[reef grove]

mine didn’t either

[tame cargo]

i didn't even do thank u emails 💀

[reef grove]

bro 😭

[rapid wave]

What did you write for your thank you email

[tame cargo]

like what the fuck do i say

[reef grove]

thank you maybe??

[tame cargo]

generic shit like "thank you for your time"? i already said that in my interview

[obsidian nexus]

you reiterate what you talked about

[reef grove]

it’s good manners 💀💀

[obsidian nexus]

and what they said

[floral briar]

Yo Dawg,
That was some good shit. Finna have the best year frfr

[obsidian nexus]

in job interviews, people who send thank you emails have a higher likelihood of getting the job

[tame cargo]

i don't even have the contact of my harvard interviewer

[tame cargo]

only if you have contact. nobody's going to like u if you dig out their email

that's what my dad says

[reef grove]

did you get the interview request via smoke signal 😭

[tame cargo]

no alumni club lead organized it

[obsidian nexus]

yeah ur in an unusual situation

[obsidian nexus]

he did the interview the old fashioned way

[tame cargo]

no...

[obsidian nexus]

i think

[halcyon cairn]

whats msj

[obsidian nexus]

are you a harker 💀

[reef grove]

maybe reach out to them then, you could thank them for their time or ask them to forward your thanks

[halcyon cairn]

ohh

[obsidian nexus]

crazy

lower school harker

[reef grove]

california school is prolly crazy, do y’all just go to the beach every day

it seems like paradise

[obsidian nexus]

i wish 😭

basis 💀

[reef grove]

i wish i lived near the ocean :( y’all lucky fr

[tame cargo]

it's honestly not that deep ngl

[reef grove]

cost of living there is prolly hella expensive

[tame cargo]

i think the point is that you don't send a thank you note because no contact

[obsidian nexus]

i barely see the ocean lmao you're not missing out on much

[tame cargo]

u don't need to

don't overthink it tbh

[reef grove]

Sounds good! Can’t wait. or smth like that. or nothing

bro you asked what to reply 😭

it’s 2 am for me my brain is fried

[obsidian nexus]

great see you soon look forward to meeting

yeah

[reef grove]

no he’s going to come to your house and personally club you to death

[obsidian nexus]

yeah insta reject

[reef grove]

no lmao you’re good

[obsidian nexus]

overthinking this is so real

[reef grove]

i’m going back to sleep i’m discombobulated now 😞

somehow this information perplexes me more

[obsidian nexus]

yeah its way too late for this

[reef grove]

right right

hsxd writing an essay 😦

[little flax]

no its almost completely random for domestic students. every applicant's contact info is automatically sent to the regional alumni associations who start assigning interviewers as fast as they can. after aos read files, they can assign priority ratings BUT interviews can def be assigned before they come out.

[little flax]

just a slow typer 😭

[reef grove]

LMAO

that’s so me

i’ll be at my keyboard sounding out the letters 💀

1 wpm

[little flax]

me af, this is why i hate cs

[reef grove]

the rest of my class learned to type properly but i never did

i jjst use my index fingers

[little flax]

i throw in my middle finger if i feel crazy

[reef grove]

wdym

i touch my keys

as opposed to telepathy?

text to speech

oh wait i just looked it up

[floral briar]

Not me with 50 and 100 mistakes ☠️😂

[reef grove]

i never learned but i’m p sure i know the general layout of keys just from using the keyboard so much

like this is me typing so looking

[floral briar]

Us

[reef grove]

wo*

woah i got it almost right

that’s kinda crazy actually

i can type with my eyes dhyt

shut

darn

got a little misaligned

[floral briar]

I think I should be able to do it too

OH DAMN I DID IT

Am I smart or jus addicted ☠️☠️

[reef grove]

LMAO

[floral briar]

Garfield

[reef grove]

hardield

[floral briar]

NO WAY

[reef grove]

[floral briar]

I see signs 'har'

[reef grove]

[floral briar]

Shut with open
DIABOLICAL

[reef grove]

i like having big meaty hands. very imposing when i hold something

(i am a 5’2 woman)

[floral briar]

Relatable

Lol

[reef grove]

5.47 inch hand height 3.12 inch finger length

don’t dox me from that 💀

LMAO

this is important information okay

crucial to know if y’all wanna get into harvard

i suggest you take notes, the interviewer will quiz you on this

auto reject fs

harvard only takes sigmas

hand height < 5 inches auto reject

[hoary schooner]

height? or length?

[reef grove]

[hardy sable]

[hardy sable]

LMAO alright

[knotty orchid]

how’d it go

[worn helm]

better write a fire LOCI 🙏🙏

chill its early

[ocean palm]

lmao

didnt west point use to be in the Ivy league lol

or not the ivy league but their predecessor sport league

it used to be referred to as an "Ivy colelge" and was in the old baseball league

before the ivy league officially formed

[reef grove]

bro nothing was more of a lie than ppl saying middle school grades matter

true true

the one reject from princeton to make it seem believable 😭

there’s a box where you can explain why you got academic violations lol

“i’m donating a building btw”

idk i think being ridiculously wealthy or the child of a celebrity is also a pretty good excuse

i’ve heard some celebrity kids pay people to take the act/sat for them

or they just pay off graders to give them higher scores 💀

[ocean palm]

"name on building" ahh

[rapid wave]

Those mfs are all scammers

It’s ok you have Isef and a 1600 you’re going places

[ocean palm]

brandon tineo is legit but i feel like some of the stories are exaggerated

he has beef with ivy league roadmap lmao

[rapid wave]

Interviews take time to come out

I only got my Stanford one yesterday

[tame cargo]

...why would u dox someone

but that could be basically anyone's name

ok honestly i stopped trusting instagram college influences

cuz nobody knows if they're capping or not

what kinda name is limmy

i thought that was his online handle

but shes right (in my limited watch time)

honestly most influencers are annoying

gohar's reels are so annoying tbh

even if they are correct

0 real ecs

probably can bs something

"family responsibilities"

my mom's stay at home :wesh:

buddy

[vagrant plover]

Cap

[tame cargo]

don't take that for face value

[vagrant plover]

Insta messed up bad with those grids

[rapid wave]

I just don’t watch college admissions videos/content

[tame cargo]

well ik someone who got into stanford w/o interview

[vagrant plover]

💀do they

[tame cargo]

thats not annoying thats immoral lol

[vagrant plover]

😂

Tru

''i have a chance"

[tame cargo]

i shuld become a college influencer if i get into a top school

well first step is to survive

[rapid wave]

No way you paid for counseling

[vagrant plover]

I'd open a vlog chanel for sure

[rapid wave]

If I get into UCLA or Berkeley I’ll do that

[tame cargo]

r u oos?

[rapid wave]

Even though as a high ranked in-state it’s not hard

[rapid wave]

Nope

I’ll clickbait so hard

[tame cargo]

lmao

pretend ur oos

ur going to get glazed hella

[rapid wave]

Pretend I’m int

[tame cargo]

i look too american unfortuanately

[rapid wave]

“Int with weak ecs gets into all UCs!1!1!1!1!

[tame cargo]

i lost my accent as well

[tame cargo]

real

[reef grove]

honestly i can kinda see this esp for rural kids or kids that didn’t have as many opportunities

[rapid wave]

I’ll say I have no accent because I learned English through American tv

[reef grove]

i think that’s why i got in in any case, i don’t have super competitive accomplishments

[tame cargo]

probably if ur not from bay area or sm shit like that

[reef grove]

true true

[tame cargo]

it could also be an application from like 20 years ago

ok ur right

or she could be lying about writing that essay

[reef grove]

but i think for ppl that don’t live in a big city the opportunities get much sparser much quicker

[tame cargo]

bruh in the bay area college apps start in elementary school 😂

[reef grove]

😭

[tame cargo]

u gotta get all ur life planned out in 4th grade

[reef grove]

i don’t think anyone told me what the commonapp was until 11th grade

11th sorry

[tame cargo]

i thought the sat was on poems until 9th grade

and then i was confused as fuck

[reef grove]

dude i thought you had to do every single commonapp prompt not just one 💀

[tame cargo]

even if you start in high school and everything goes PERFECTLY, you're still at a disadvantage

[reef grove]

okay no but fr this makes me so mad, like the reason it’s a passion project is bc you’re passionate abt it, not bc someone told you how to do it 😭

[rapid wave]

My school usually gets like ~30-40

[reef grove]

and it’s SO obvious when the kid doesn’t care abt the project and is just putting it on their app to look good

[rapid wave]

As a broke public school

Since we have usually 18ish to UcLA and like 10 to Berkeley

[tame cargo]

our results are trenches this year

[rapid wave]

Since they like in-states

[tame cargo]

except 8 nyu 1 emory

[junior imp]

Insane

[reef grove]

my class is pretty anti-ivy this year so it’s rlly jjst me and a girl who got into gtown

[tame cargo]

lmao i think no one got into cornell from my school except for 1 recruited athlete

actually i could be wrong

[junior imp]

Apparently my school had somebody go to Michigan two years ago for soccer

But we’ve had nothing other than that

Last Ivy was in 2019

[tame cargo]

erm

ok i get why some ppl would

[quasi shadow]

My school’s had 3 so far but we’re a small school

Like class size of 150

If you count UVA we’ve had 5 but I don’t think that’s traditionally t20

[junior imp]

Whaaat are you private or something

[quasi shadow]

Nope

Public suburban

Mostly white too

[junior imp]

Oh that’s very interesting

[thick crown]

someone picked udub over gt???
