[molten glen]

I've decided that there will be 6 people who get into Harvard in this thread

Excluding kaz whatever

[charred shard]

how did u decide

[molten glen]

Deductive reasoning and a brief research

[charred shard]

huh 😭

[molten glen]

Precisely

A Harvard staffed research team has conclusively determined that the most likely outcome will be six students

[solemn panther]

were cooked

[molten glen]

Lol

[lunar shoal]

[misty remnant]

ok so we should panic

thanks for the reassurnace

[reef grove]

i feel very appreciated

[molten glen]

calm down

there's only like a 97% chance you got rejected

[misty remnant]

without an interview its 100%

[molten glen]

no

[misty remnant]

yes

its ok tho

i dont wana attend umass cambridge

[molten glen]

?

bro is saying he doesn't want to attend umass cambridge when he is panicking about the interview

[solemn panther]

😭

@misty remnant i think the deadline is prob end of febuary

we sitll have a whole month

lets not panic until then

[misty remnant]

exactly i was panicking ab the interview but its ok bc i dont wann aattend here

[molten glen]

let me guess you want to attend yale

[misty remnant]

no i had a shitty yale interview

i will be georgetown bound inshallah

[lunar shoal]

It's alright guys

[misty remnant]

HELP

imagine i get nothing end of feb

[solemn panther]

ok then we lose all hope in life

[lunar shoal]

Wait what 💀

I've already lost hope

[solemn panther]

god this is so nerve wrecking

i cant take another month of this

[molten glen]

an interview can be offered anytime until decisions are released

[lunar shoal]

Tell me about it

[solemn panther]

ehh arent they finalized by a certian date

[molten glen]

sometimes people will get an interview like 3 weeks before the decision date because the committee needs to know more about them before they decide to reject

[reef grove]

your application is complete wo an interview

says so on harvard website

[molten glen]

generally they will have a deadline for them to submit all their stuff, but an interview can still be after that deadline

[lunar shoal]

Isn't the acceptance rate lower like Yale though

[solemn panther]

i thought no interview = rejected

[molten glen]

no

well not necessarily

there is a higher chance of getting rejected than getting in without an interview

[lunar shoal]

Rip

[reef grove]

they try to interview as many as possible so it would make sense that the vast majority of ppl getting in get interviewed lol

[molten glen]

Although if you're a 3 or a 4 you probs won't get interviewed

[solemn panther]

wait is 3 or 4 like the lowest of applicant quality

[reef grove]

5 is worst i believe

1 best

[lunar shoal]

Ngl I really didn't think I was a 3/4 but maybe I am

[solemn panther]

right like what if im a 5 according to harvard

[lunar shoal]

Probably would've had an interview if I was better

[molten glen]

my athletic ability was a 4

LOL

[lunar shoal]

Yeah 😭

[misty remnant]

im a 5

gg highest score

so yield protetc

[lunar shoal]

First 6 in Harvard history incoming

[misty remnant]

[solemn panther]

[reef grove]

[molten glen]

[solemn panther]

[reef grove]

[solemn panther]

[reef grove]

[solemn panther]

[molten glen]

[solemn panther]

💀

[reef grove]

bro my interviewer told me to quit resume padding

[solemn panther]

[reef grove]

[solemn panther]

[misty remnant]

[reef grove]

while he looked disappointed and mildly disgusted

[solemn panther]

https://tenor.com/view/cry-crying-cat-crying-cat-cry-why-gif-27571714

[misty remnant]

luckily i have no resume padding

cause my resume is ass

[solemn panther]

well at least u got in

🔥

[reef grove]

no thanks to him 😭

[solemn panther]

yea f him

u got in bc ur you

[reef grove]

i’m john harvard jr actually

[solemn panther]

oh nv

im fucked

[reef grove]

i donated 4 buildings

i’m also a pro lacrosse and fencing player

[molten glen]

You get ratings from two AOs, you get ranked on academics, personal qualities (this is like your essay + your interview), athletics (4 for everyone who doesn't have anything to do with sports or less if you are disabled yeah thats kinda crazy ngl), and ECs. Then you get your SSR ranked (teh form your guidance counselor sends in), your teacher recs, and finally your interview!

[misty remnant]

goodbye im going to umass dartmouth now

[solemn panther]

rookie numbers, i donated 5 buildings

[misty remnant]

why r u skulling

thats not funny

its a bettyer school

[reef grove]

bro they’re gonna rescind my spot and give it to you

[solemn panther]

why would athleticism even be considered?

[misty remnant]

ur telling me u dont wanna go here

[solemn panther]

very...

brutalist

[molten glen]

recruited athletes

[misty remnant]

right

[solemn panther]

oh right

but then

what abt us normies

[misty remnant]

to put it lightly

[reef grove]

i read that it was weighted a lot less than the others

[solemn panther]

ok

ig my parents were right abt doing a sport

[reef grove]

like they didn’t hire lebron james bc he was a great chemist, and i assume it goes both ways

[solemn panther]

varsity golf came in clutch 🦾

[molten glen]

They also give you an "Academic Index" ranged from 1-240

[reef grove]

NUMBER 1 LETS GOOO

[reef grove]

hmm i’d think i’m around the 200 range if i had to guess

good act/gpa but i got like A-s and stuff

[molten glen]

Mine was 230

[reef grove]

young sheldon over here

[molten glen]

nah

I had a 4.429 / 4.0 Weighted, 4.0 / 4.0 UW

Rank #1, 18 AP courses

[reef grove]

4.4 is actually diabolical

i have a 4.12

[molten glen]

I've seen people with higher no GPA is really standard ppl go to high schools where like taking band classes give you extra GPA boosts lmao

[reef grove]

true true

my school doesn’t offer a lot of aps too

[molten glen]

not sure how they cook up your AI, all I know is it's importanjt

[molten glen]

mine offers 0 I had to argue before the school board every year to take my APs lmao

I wrote about that in my common app essay

[reef grove]

yeah i self studied a couple as well

i think harvard really likes ppl that do that kinda stuff

like they reach the limits of what’s offered so they find another way to get it ig

or maybe i’m barking up the wrong tree

[molten glen]

My interviwer is what made my application

[solemn panther]

wtf

[molten glen]

She wrote PARAGRAPHS for each of her responses and each of her responses got the coveted 1

Then my alumni interview got the score of 1 and so did my personal qualities

[reef grove]

see that’s what i would say too except my interview went so poorly, like genuinely not even being humble or anything i do not compare to other admitted students lmao

all of their linkedins are crazy

[solemn panther]

oh slay

im fine then

[reef grove]

i didn’t even have one fleshed out before i got in

[molten glen]

a linkedin?

[reef grove]

even with a 230???

[molten glen]

yes

it's harvard dude lol

i'm sure there are hundreds of people with 230 here

probably even more with above a 230

[reef grove]

i suppose but it says that the avg admitted has ~211

so ur way above average

[molten glen]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I think it's 220 now

My overall scores were 2-'s but

Without my interviewer I dont' thnk I would've gotten in

[reef grove]

hmm that’s so interesting

[molten glen]

I mean think about it

Your alumnus holds a louder voice

[solemn panther]

sigh

[molten glen]

Though, tbf, I am not an interviewer nor do I pretend to be 100% truthful in what I say. I only know what I've been told by my interviewer and my AO's

I can see what their comments are and one of the AOs quite literally said "my interview name provides a very strong case for this applicant."

Without that, maybe someone else would have taken my spot

[reef grove]

idk my interviewer told me that they just did it so the alumni felt important + made sure the applicants had a pulse lmaooo

[molten glen]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'm sure there are interviewers who do not care that much

[reef grove]

tho for edge cases i can certainly see how it could tip the scale

[molten glen]

I don't thikn I was that much of an edge cas ebruh

[reef grove]

i wasn’t referring specifically to you 😭😭😭 i just meant in general haha

if anything i am much more of an edge case

like all i would really have going for me is the AI as you mentioned before

[molten glen]

thats it im emailing dean khurana about u

[rugged vessel]

EDGE???

[reef grove]

NOOO

[rugged vessel]

EDGING??

[molten glen]

go do your homework

[reef grove]

bro one of my AOs emailed me abt something i wrote in my essays

it was abt this movie velocipastor

[molten glen]

Lol yeah an AO will email every admitted student

[rugged vessel]

[eager sinew]

NO THEY DONT

[molten glen]

[molten glen]

i will commit to helping you with AT LEAST 25% of every assignment my goat

[eager sinew]

ls1a and chem 17 at the same time??

[little flax]

Wasn’t the cutoff like 90 last sem 💀

[dreamy lynx]

this is 22b

[dreamy lynx]

yea it's about the same I guess but at least it's something more concrete early on

[little flax]

Is everything else the same

[little flax]

Thank god

[little flax]

Please do

I always forget if order matters when I’m doing probability

[little flax]

I rly don’t know what I’m doing

[eager sinew]

do not do gen chem and orgo chem at the same time hello 😭

ill be in ls1a in fall too

[dreamy lynx]

stat 110 is so fun

I hope y'all have fun

[little flax]

I’m so sick of being behind 😭😭

[little flax]

Ok good i was worried id be the only one

[eager sinew]

idt u can even do that

like prereqs

i think ls1a is prereq to orgo 17

[little flax]

Oh perfect

[eager sinew]

im doing neuro major i can semd u my 4 year plan if u wanna see how im doing my life sci classes

[little flax]

[rugged vessel]

[little flax]

I like just decided I might do pre-med last sem so I’m struggling

[rugged vessel]

oh no

[little flax]

My concentration 😭😭

[rugged vessel]

evil

hows the EMT thing

it seems like a lot of work

[eager sinew]

real, if i do premed i would wanna do md-phd so im tryna focus more on research 😭 clinical hours woyld kill me

[little flax]

It def is but I think it’s fun

[little flax]

Oml ur built different

[rugged vessel]

he's built the same

[little flax]

R u applying to prise

[molten glen]

nah in cs61 bro

[eager sinew]

im applying to BLISS, struggling to find a PRISE PI 😭

[molten glen]

MY GOAT take CS61

[little flax]

So real imma just apply without one and pray 😭😭

[little flax]

I would die

I was struggling so bad in cs50

[molten glen]

you struggled in cs50

nvm

do not come to cs61

[little flax]

Yes LOL

[molten glen]

I made a 100 in CS50 did not miss a single point they offered me a TF spot lol

[little flax]

But I do need cs 51 or 61 for credit

[molten glen]

oh

definitely cs61 then

it's a fall course the instructor refuses to teach it off cycle so you might as well

[little flax]

I’d rather do cs when I’m doing easier classes tho 😬😬

[molten glen]

would you rather do it when ur taking easier classes without anyone you know in it

or take it when you know ppl in it

lowkey you can get carried in CS61 because most assignments you can do as a group

[little flax]

This is how I already feel with premed reqs 😭😭

[little flax]

Wait fr

[molten glen]

afaik

I knew two people in my EXPOS last sem were in it together and they pretty much did everything as a group

[little flax]

Bruh but I genuinely want to learn cs

[molten glen]

They had a few take-home quizzes/exams they did together

i think all written exams are individualistic tho

[molten glen]

Tbh CS50 was probably the best class to take to get a glimpse of applied CS and decide if that's something you like doing

After CS50 it's all theory for a while

[dreamy lynx]

Eh just take it when you can

[molten glen]

goaway

[dreamy lynx]

You can always find people to work with

[molten glen]

i def wouldn't take it with ur current courseload lmao

but if you have to drop one of them bc of conflicts with like prereqs and stuff

take it

🙏

[little flax]

yeah the thing is I did well in cs50 but I was way too reliant w gpt on the final project

so I felt like I couldn’t rly apply any of the skills in that class to anything

[molten glen]

im like 90% sure half of the people just straight up GPTed it

i saw two people with the same project and the GUI looked almost identical

[rugged vessel]

adboards you

[little flax]

Um actually it was allowed as a learning tool 🤓

[rugged vessel]

a learning tool and u cant apply ur learned tools outside the class smh

[little flax]

U got me there ☹️

[rugged vessel]

wya pooks

[dreamy lynx]

[solemn panther]

I mean technically esports is also a sport so

[vocal arrow]

LMFAOO me and pragg had the same coach

and also met pragg many times

i have met like all top chess players

my older brother did and they played for hours and got drunk together

older brother is better at chess than me

idk LMFAOO ill just stick to the car cause its kinda vision and impact driven

i realized I never talked about chess

lmfao my upenn interiewer thought i was capping for chess and bro searched my name

[vocal arrow]

i had TWO more words left

[rugged vessel]

bruh

[tame cargo]

most sane a2c neurotic student

[young jasper]

ur not getting a 1 on ecs lmao

idt they give that to anyone

[low surge]

Hushh she's not anyone

We have a Gilmore in the server

[molten glen]

You don’t think they give 1 to anyone ?

[young jasper]

i thought a 1 on ecs not like a 1- was like yale's 9

like a ghost ranking

maybe i heard wrong idk

[molten glen]

Wdym

There is no 1- it’s just 1

[young jasper]

o rlly

[molten glen]

Yeah

[young jasper]

idk maybe im confusing / conflating things

[molten glen]

They rarely give a 1 yeah

[young jasper]

i feel like the difference between a 1 and a 2+

could legitimately just be the individual person

that reads ur thing

and their mood

like its so random theres no poitn predicting it

[molten glen]

0.5% of applicants get a 1

[young jasper]

and it doesnt matter allat much

also predicting ur ratings in general is kinda wild

why is my omen just being racist towards koreans

💀

[molten glen]

You’ve got like a 0.1% of acceptance if you don’t get a 2 on anything

[young jasper]

"as a member of the superior race (aka white) - actually nvm"

what is this guy yapping about bro

[young jasper]

i mean yeah but predicting the specific numbers ur ao gives u is just kinda pointless no? just wait and see

u could get the highest numbers and then get rej

someones 2+ is anothers 2-

[molten glen]

That margin of error is accounted by getting ranked by two separate AOs

They never talk to each other they evaluate your application separately

And my scores matched up pretty well across the boards

[young jasper]

sure thats true

but

i still dont see the point in trying to guess what your scores are beforehand

[molten glen]

You can’t predict your numbers no

[young jasper]

its js gonna stress u out

[molten glen]

It’s impossible to predict them

I was just explaining the process

[young jasper]

o ya

i predict uh

6 6 6 6 6

and accepted

🔥

[floral briar]

I am worried...
Got rejected from all EA schools
Dartmouth defer
Intl seeking aid
P.s I made that mistake in my application I told you guys about

Cooked with no interviews

Wait how are we ranking

I think academics a 2 just cause 1530 the rest is all a 100 percent
ECS 2/3
Athletics hmmm maybe 2-3
Personal idk
Interview none
Essays again between 2/3

No I was doing "R-1 thinking" ifykyk

Ig then it CAN be a 1

LOLLLLL nah no way

😭

2 maybe

I think 2 would be fine

IPHO AND IYPT
Camp yes

International no 😞

I am Paki
So not indian fs

😂

We never know
It depends on opportunities ig

For someone with ko opportunities ISWF maybe a 1

Idk how they rank

ISEF***

I make too many typos damn it

You are domestic tho

[floral briar]

My situation is extremely concerning ☠️

Idk for domestic, maybe though

Suspicious ❌
Sus
picious ✅

no one in our region had one
More shocking ☠️

Yeah it fs is

Let's see how it goes

Us 😭

I asked chat gpt the trend
For asking in one word
It rejected me from Harvard Stanford
And said waitlisted at all others (cuz of that mistake apparently)

HAHAHAHAHA

Okay

That's

Sus

Picious

☠️

100 percent

Us fr

I don't know why I did it but I repeated my honor (accidentally stated it twice)
Still regret it
Had to mail to get it updated
They added it to my files (some asked to send through portal)
So I am pretty much effed
Except Stanford UPenn all had this mistake

It would leave a bad impression though
I am intl asking for aid making blunders 😭

I sent in an updated list

Hopefully but imagine like all perfect apps for IVYs
And then there's my dumb ass doing this shit

☠️☠️☠️☠️

Fml

😂

The app was without mistakes there

Yeah def, but I MEAN I would've rejected myself with that mistake too

☠️

No
Like the actual 5 honors

They won't prolly even notice that

Yeah ....

BUT I MESSED IT UP FOR ALL FR

It's stressful af

Unless I get an interview

FM yes

It was a part of my activities though
Just this one

Gold medal at a national Olympiad

How ☠️

No no the issue is
I repeated a School honor twice

Instead of this

☠️

So my list was supposed to be like
National physics win
Intl space Olympiad
Gold medal
School honor
Merit scholarships throughout
It was now
National win
ISO
School honor
School honor
Merit scholarship....

noooo 😭💔

The medal was in the activities tho

Yeah
Harvard said add it on portal
Princeton said added to you profile by the admissions officer
Yale had a good response actually they said thanks for letting us know we'll add it. Enjoy your studies
Stanford no mistake there
Brown said add on portal
Vandy was again a good response like good shit
Nothing from duke, just dded on portal
No mistake for rice or UPENN

The rest are like not IVY but good colleges
They all said we'll add it
It's ok

If it's a major scholarship then go A otherwise B

YOU JUST SAID YOU are fucked 😭☠️

Try to shorten all of it down to 1 page?

Use gpt to make it concise and then rewrite it

I am extra worried now
" You are fucked"
Shit man
Now I'ma overthink it all

Use Gemini

No I did but it's like when they read it it would impact tho
It's like a mistake still

I sent it 2 days after deadline
Like immediately

Lol

Hopefully thanksss
Also lemme know if I can help in anyway with those updates
They seem meticulous ☠️

[young jasper]

unemployment final boss

[knotty orchid]

1 is still only for people who have achieved heavy success in like specialist areas of research or completed A LOT of academic grades or whatever , regular stuff can only get you a 2 at best I think

SAT does not have a big impact at all

[floral briar]

Hmmmm, right
Idk maybe
I have 6 A levels and other things too
But idk how their metric works
Lol I don't think I will get in even

[knotty orchid]

you have 6 A*s in all of them??

in England doing more than 4 is too much

[rugged vessel]

idt you'd get in with a 4 personal

u have this scale like all wrong

i got a 2- in academics with high sat and high gpa and no academic awards/few academic ec's

hmm

[quasi shadow]

What was ur SAT

[rugged vessel]

what do u consider high 🧐

[misty remnant]

wait why did i apply harvard

ya uiuc 29 it is

[quasi shadow]

was it above 1530

[rugged vessel]

no

[quasi shadow]

Yeah then that’s not that high for harvard lol

I mean it’s probably average

But perfect SAT with good GPA will get you a 2+ even with minimal academic ECs

[rugged vessel]

for submitted scores yeah about/a bit under

but my year was also the test optional year

[rugged vessel]

im not even sure about that

i think it'd cap off at 2 because the difference between 1510 (my score) and 1600 is minimal

[quasi shadow]

I’ve talked to someone with those stats who got a 2+

That’s how I know

[rugged vessel]

theres more factors that play into the academic portion

n=1

[quasi shadow]

No academic is probably the most predictable part of the rating system lmfao

at least for the 2 range

[rugged vessel]

like what is deemed minimal academic ec's in the eyes of an admissions officer, person's upbringing and how "easy" it was for them to achieve what they did

[quasi shadow]

And he didn’t have any hooks👍

You feel

[rugged vessel]

also how academically oriented the person's goals even are and vibe from the interview

[quasi shadow]

Literally asian male and stuff

[quasi shadow]

Don’t think that factors in

But correct me if I’m wrong on that

You’re the harvard student here lol

[rugged vessel]

if he gets into harvard as an asian male, or really gets in at all, he had to have something special about him outside of his numerical academics, so included in that could've been his "academic vibe"

idk i feel like i can find a person with a 1600 sat that's not a 2+ but it doesnt matter its all the same shit

no one knows anything about it

the admissions file was vague in a lot of ways

the only mention of my academics was "Did pretty well here"

[quasi shadow]

👍

[rugged vessel]

i think worrying about scores (not like you are) is like next level dooming

i doomed a lot but i wasn't aware at all of the rating system and kinda tried not to be

[low surge]

like?

[azure galleon]

ahh i have my interview today

i feel like for a small portion of the Why Harvard i plan to talk about Boston and its art culture, but do u think they'll ask me if i like Harvard better or MIT?

since they're both in the same area

[knotty orchid]

I don’t think they will ask something like that

more so why Harvard

than why Harvard over other places

[azure galleon]

ok

part of why i like it is also its relationship with other schools (like MIT), where you can take classes from both schools and join clubs from other schools

but idk if I should mention that cuz it's also applicable to the other schools

[knotty orchid]

it’s one thing

I spoke about historical research opportunities and harvards archives and collections

stuff like that is good I think

[azure galleon]

ooh ok

im going into engineering so ill talk abt specific labs that are cool

[misty remnant]

lmao no interview.

[low surge]

ive only gotten one interview so far

but me when 0 interview

[native solar]

[eager sinew]

there is a 1-

tmk theres no 1+ though

[tired cypress]

do i need to bring my resume for intwrview?

[dreamy lynx]

wrong I was a 1+ in the secret aura category

[little flax]

I got 2+ from both readers just from a 4.0/1600/aime, literally no olympiads

It’s not that deep to be predicting ratings 😭😭

[dreamy lynx]

true

[quasi shadow]

I know a 1- guy who got it for academics

but he was mega cracked

[dreamy lynx]

o sounds like me

[quasi shadow]

lmao

[little flax]

Just send an update asap

[tired cypress]

how do I locate my interviewer at a cafe 😭😭

how long was ur interviews guys

[dreamy lynx]

just look really confused until they approach you

[reef grove]

if they ask for it yeah, if they don’t i would still bring it but not give it to them unless they ask

[tired cypress]

💀💀

[dreamy lynx]

yeah I would not offer a resume unless they ask

[reef grove]

mine gave me like a physical description of what he looked like and i realized that i accidentally sat at the table right next to him 💀 actual horror movie when i slowly turned around in my seat and realized he was right there

[reef grove]

around 45 minutes i think

he was glancing at his watch the entire time so i think he left exactly at 45 😭

[dreamy lynx]

true mine cut me off at like 45 or an hour I forget

some just take the 45 or an hour and end it

[tired cypress]

oh okay

[reef grove]

my georgetown guy let me yap for like an hour and a half

[dreamy lynx]

doesn't really mean you did bad or anything they just respect the time

[reef grove]

we got along so well

we ended up talking abt his cousins wedding toward the end of it

[tired cypress]

did y'all get smth like this in ur initial email

like im not tryna talk for 3 hours

[reef grove]

that’s just the slot he’s available

[tired cypress]

okok

[reef grove]

so like if you have smth at noon you can call at 1 instead

i would recommend in person tho

better connection imo

[tired cypress]

👍

i have mine in person at 1 aijfjejd

first in person interview

idk how social I am

[rugged vessel]

this is actually 100% the strat

its worked like 3/3 times

[dreamy lynx]

goat

[tired cypress]

GUYS

should i sit booth or table

my person is not here yet

wait it's 5 minutes till the interview,shud I get a coffee now?

what if the coffee is ready in the middle of us talking

[knotty orchid]

you’ll be fine don’t overthink it, they won’t care I promise you

[molten glen]

Weird why would there be a 1- but no 1+

I haven’t looked at mine since August idk what I got I just know 3 1s of sort. Figured it was like the grading scale there is an A, A- so like a 1, 1+

Ya

But like

Two are in the same category just given by both my AOs

[reef grove]

the flex is crazy

[molten glen]

no

I still don’t know what IMO is

😭

Ah

No

[low surge]

💀💀💀

[molten glen]

I did not get a LL

It was my interview

That got the 1s

[low surge]

What did you rizz up your interviewer or smthn😭

[molten glen]

Nah I just think my best skill is people skills and talking

[low surge]

Us

So C'MON HARVARD GIVE ME INTERVIEW

[reef grove]

if i had to guess id say i got 2- academics, 3/3+ ecs, 3+ personality, and 4 athletics

[molten glen]

You’d never guess in like a million tries

What your scores are

[eager sinew]

cus 1 is the highest possible

[reef grove]

yeah ik but just based on vibes

watch me get them spot on

[low surge]

My ecs require a lot of public speaking and mentoring so I'm used to😭

[rugged vessel]

quite a few people get 1's on interviews

[molten glen]

but like the lower the better so it would go 1+, 2- right?

[rugged vessel]

that might be the easiest 1 to get

but im kind of an asshole so i did not get a 1 ☹️

[low surge]

Yeaa

[reef grove]

</3

[low surge]

I want a 1

[rugged vessel]

get in first

[molten glen]

I think my only cracked 1 was on personal qualities I think someone else got that one too

[low surge]

But the audacity of not giving me an interview

[reef grove]

harsh 😭

[low surge]

😭😭

[rugged vessel]

mine was a fat 3+

my file edged me

[reef grove]

1 on personality is diabolical, don’t like less that .1% of applicants get one

[molten glen]

Brah

How they finna give you a 3

Lowk hating

[rugged vessel]

i got like mostly 2-'s and 3+'s

scary af

[molten glen]

That’s normal I think

[rugged vessel]

yeah

darn im only an average admitted harvard student 😔

[eager sinew]

no 2+ is better than 2-

[molten glen]

oh

[rugged vessel]

r u dumb

[molten glen]

Dang my application is better than I thought

[rugged vessel]

youll be fine

whereever u end up

[molten glen]

I thought it was just lower number

[rugged vessel]

its just there happens to be a lot of us here

doesnt make harvard any easier or harder to get into

[dreamy lynx]

true

scores don't matter either you get in or don't

[eager sinew]

smoof why are you here
