reef grove
#

ahhh icic

ocean palm
#

i think this girl who i had calc BC with

#

she committed to harvard as a junior 💀

#

because she got recruited

#

shit was wild

reef grove
#

wild

# still edge 4 YEARS PRIOR?

thats only when they start reaching out, high-ranking recruits can have scouts keeping an eye on them in middle school

#

iirc there was a law passed banning schools from recruiting athletes before a certain grade bc of how borderline predatory it was

#

suni lee (olympic gold medal gymnast) signed to auburn when she was 14 and had been on their radar for much longer

#

obviously when the athlete doesn’t know any better bc they’re a kid and the parents aren’t super experienced in college athletics they don’t know that so much about a team can change within those years. the coaching staff can completely flip. the program can get cut. there can be a massive scandal. the school rankings can completely flip. the student can just realize that they don’t want to go to that school anymore but it’s a massive pain to have to go back through the process

#

Did you get in

hardy bolt
#

thats when coaches can start directly contacting you

#

also sometimes kids dont know any better so they commit to a program they're not fully familar with

junior imp
#

I really want to get into Brown

I could live my Egyptology undergrad dream

young jasper
#

lowk if ur instate mich and u get ross or something taking it over harvard is kinda worth

young jasper
junior imp
#

But also Harvard noooo

reef grove
#

there’s way too many qualified applicants, but they also want a class that’s balanced by major, gender, background, wealth, etc

junior imp
reef grove
#

so at some point it rlly is just a crapshoot

young jasper
#

ur delusional if u think u should take harvard business for 200k+ more over ross

#

lol

#

💀

junior imp
#

I’m in Ohio

#

Its honestly more competitive than I thought it would be

reef grove
junior imp
#

But that’s also because my school is suuuuper uncompetitive and low income

reef grove
#

big fish little pond effect is real

#

but also it looks good if you do well at a good school

junior imp
#

I hope it helps

#

Idk

I might be cooked but we’ll find out in like less than two months

#

uneducated take

not even facts

#

lmao

#

incorrect!

#

you know theres

#

7 other schools

#

in the ivy league

#

right

#

💀

#

bro

#

youd transfer as an undergrad

#

do you just fundamentally have 0 idea how the transfer process works

#

no they dont

#

bro

#

in the transfer admission process a cc is unironically better chances than a 4 year

#

what are you guys yapping about

#

im convinced you guys just have no idea how the transfer admission process works

#

u were talking about the ivy league and not harvard

#

is my point

#

lol

thick crown
#

dude

#

young jasper
#

she doesnt

#

💀

thick crown
#

#

she just doesnt know what shes talking about

thick crown
#

oh

#

yeah

#

😭

#

i mean

#

i mean

young jasper
#

u said a 4 year is looked at more favorably in transfer admissions than a cc

thick crown
#

2 points were flawed

young jasper
#

which is just not true

thick crown
#

i get u gang

young jasper
#

💀

thick crown
#

yeah

#

my counselor even told me this

#

its not true

young jasper
#

if u want to transfer to an ivy league school ur unironically best off going to cc

#

lol...

thick crown
#

admissions take more cc people because they arent garunteed a bachelors degree while someone in a undergrad school is already on path for earning a B.A so like

young jasper
#

the transfer admissions process

#

is not

#

a dick measuring contest

thick crown
#

I looked chopped asf in all my vids so they will not be seeing the light of day

#

It’s just for the memories

reef grove
#

i had looked at a couple reaction videos earlier and had thought it was silly that they were yelling and crying so much, and then i did the exact same thing

solemn panther
#

Actually ima shower right before my ivy day decisions so I can post it on TikTok and get 3 million likes and launch my college influencer career

#

😝

solemn panther
#

It’s ok u got into Harvard so that’s all that matters

reef grove
#

i yapped for like 5 minutes abt how i wouldn’t be sad with a rejection

solemn panther
#

How did u have the confidence to apply to Harvard early

#

I was quivering while applying to my state schools 😭

It's a free hit for ED, knock it out of the park

young jasper
#

i was very chill about it

#

i looked crusty asf in this very minute 0.5 second interval which ih will likely try to cut in post prod

reef grove
#

i made sure not to tell anyone except for like my one closest friend that it was coming out that day

#

so my dad was completely blindsided

young jasper
#

once u take out

#

the athletes

#

and legacies

#

and donors

#

and imo winners

reef grove
#

yeahhhg

young jasper
#

it basically

#

evens out

#

at the same rate

reef grove
#

i was blissfully ignorant tho

young jasper
#

i opened my yale decision

#

quickly asf

#

bc my laptop was about to die

#

i got rejected was like whatever and stopped recording

reef grove
#

bro i had my decision delayed bc i was driving home with my dad and we saw what looked like a dead guy on the side of the road so we doubled back to make sure he was okay

#

(he was fine)

young jasper
#

all of my recorded reactions were short asf

reef grove
#

but i took that as a terrible omen

young jasper
#

bc ive only had a chance to record

#

my mich defer

#

my yale reject

#

and my

#

uh fuck

#

northeastern defer

#

i wasn't able to record my purdue acceptance which i was like deadass tweaking out over

#

and my other lrike "safety"

reef grove
#

i only did my harvard one sadly

young jasper
#

i was just trying to see when it dropped

#

and

#

i opened the portal

#

and the accepted video

#

just popped up

reef grove
#

lmaoooo

young jasper
#

and i was like oh

#

i guess i got in

#

i was sitting in environmental science

#

i js showed my friend like oh shit i got in lmao

reef grove
#

my school has like this wall where everyone prints out their admission decisions and hangs them up

#

i was the first defer on there lmao

#

i opened my umich defer and unc admit at school

young jasper
#

#

i swear i saw this toxic ass shit

#

thats toxic asf

#

lmao

reef grove
young jasper
#

#

i need to create a burner for my collegeresults post

reef grove
#

how is it toxic? it’s completely voluntary

young jasper
#

oh

#

i thought it was

#

mandated

#

skull

reef grove
#

it’s to celebrate everyone’s victories

#

oh no lmaooo

young jasper
#

no ive seen ppl on reddit where its like people are required to print out all their decisions

#

and make them public

#

which like 💀

reef grove
#

that’s gotta be fake

#

technically ur not supposed to print them out

#

i don’t think a school could mandate that

young jasper
#

im sure they could if they wanted

#

not legally

#

but

#

lol

reef grove
#

well i mean they could mandate anything illegally 💀

ripe plinth
#

omg

#

interview secured ✅

young jasper
#

outright be illegal

#

but its definetely

ripe plinth
#

not an auto-reject !

young jasper
#

very unethical

young jasper
#

waiting on stanfford here!!

#

please!!!

molten glen
#

it would've just been my acceptance on the wall

young jasper
#

holy aura

molten glen
#

?

#

98% of every graduating class at my high school goes to our local community college

#

They don't even haev to apply afaik they just enroll

young jasper
#

ohhh

#

most of my school goes to 4 years

#

usually udub / washington state / purdue lol

#

it used to be hella ucd / uci but

#

we got cooked last year

molten glen
#

I am the first one to go to Harvard ever, first to go to an Ivy league in 40 years, first to go to an ivy league ever who was actually born and raised there

#

The person who went to Columbia 40 years ago was the child of a doctor who moved to my area to be the like chief something at our regional hospital nearby. Bro came in as a Junior with like 4.8 GPA or something crazy

reef grove
#

we just decided to do it one day lol

reef grove
#

it inspires the other high schoolers

molten glen
#

how am i suppose dto start something at a high school i no longer attend

reef grove
molten glen
#

oh yeah

reef grove
#

a little late

molten glen
#

yeah i mean its totally possible

#

we have a single guidance counselor for our whole school (not sure how it is with u guys) and our "guidance counselor" only does class scheduling. We don't actually have any counseling for college applications or anything

#

She has a bulletin board outside her office that has never been used once, could've just pinned them there

reef grove
#

we just hired a second college counselor and he’s great

molten glen
#

never had a college counselor

#

i've always wondered what it would have been like to have someone like that

young jasper
#

our schools like guidance counselors dont prepare u for college for shit everyones js rich and has a private one

reef grove
#

my school is very tiny but one thing we are good at is college counseling

#

i got a lot of help making my list and tweaking my essays

molten glen
#

I'm not sure if it would've helped or hindered me tbf

#

For every single one of my applications (Except MIT) I started and finished 2-3 hours before the deadline

reef grove
#

pfff

molten glen
#

I'd imagine a professional college counselor would want me to meticulously do my applications in advance and let people review my essays

reef grove
#

my application was like a month’s work

#

honing my essays n shit

molten glen
#

Lol

#

I typed every essay once, only once, and submitted

reef grove
#

aura

molten glen
#

I think it's more of a mindset

#

I would never change anythig anwyays probably

#

It's like when I (or many other people) take a test, you're told/taught time and time again to go back check your answers read over hte harder ones, I have trouble convincing myself to change it

#

My critical thinking skills just shut off after it gets one seemingly correct/reasonable answer

reef grove
#

hmm that’s an interesting take

#

the way my brain works is

#

i do things as well as i can, then revisit it again and again with a fresh set of eyes

#

so i can pick up small inconsistencies that i didnt notice before

molten glen
#

well at least you know that it could work out

#

they don't help you get ready for college all they do is sit down with you once a year and schedule classes for the next year

#

lol

young jasper
#

💀

#

and they were like arguably one of my best set of essays

#

tied with like stanford and yale (which i spent weeks on

#

@ornate garden did u apply gtech

#

nvm

#

northwestern

#

what the skib

molten glen
#

oh private consultants

#

yah i didn't know those were a thing until I joined A2C in September

#

i wouldn't

young jasper
#

im p sure a majority of like

#

ivy league students

#

admit to working w a consultant

molten glen
#

Oh, well, for consultants/counselors sure. But for ones who just help w/ ur essays? I wouldn't

young jasper
#

i think that was the lingo

#

the poll used

#

which i js unconsciously copied

molten glen
#

It was so bizarre to me that there were people who claim to get you into MIT, so I decided to try one of the popular one from A2C/collegethreads for my MIT app (my dream school). I spent like 3-4 sessions with them on MIT and at the end of it at their "good product" I submitted because I was naive

Looking back, that's exactly why my essays were so bad. They didn't have the same voice I had for all the other ivy leagues/T10's I got into. They didn't mold into my story

young jasper
#

are selling you snake oil

molten glen
#

I mean they didn't guarantee

#

But they highly advertised their clients who got into MIT

#

He's very professional and very popular one.

#

Deferred -> Rejected

#

crimson?

young jasper
#

wasnt crimson education a part of several lawsuits

#

for hiring unqualified

#

counselors

molten glen
#

idk what crimson is lol

young jasper
#

lol

molten glen
#

Nah I won't tell you which, b/c it could have been a fluke or just an error in communication or maybe it was just my explanation

young jasper
#

idk

#

too random to tell

#

w how college apps r

#

tbh

molten glen
#

Accepted into Harvard, Yale, Columbia (likely), Cornell, UMich, one more ivy league I can't remember rn, Duke, Vanderbilt, UVA (Jefferson Scholar), Rice

molten glen
#

one or two more

young jasper
#

it might be time for me to put the fries in the bag

molten glen
#

tech startup

#

tech consulting startup*

#

technically we don't have our own product so it's consultation

young jasper
#

might beb fries in the bag time

molten glen
#

lol

#

It's on a different scale

reef grove
young jasper
#

#

reef grove
#

young jasper
#

reef grove
#
