i wouldve appled as an IR major 😔
Ruin my sterling 4.0 gpa
well it’s government but i’m specifically focusing on the IR subset of it
they don’t have IR separately </3
bro georgetown for IR tho...
I heard Georgetown is good for IR
👀
Why u copy me bro
georgetown the 🐐
What you playing at
???
This brain
dawg trippin
damn
such an ameircan term
the best arguably
"foreigner"
Nah
Other countries have their own words for foreigners
I've heard worse
In other languages
Where foreigner is almost a slur
we're gonna get annexed so...
Where y from
real
Canada
gov is more flexible tho and with all the recent fed worker layoffs that might be for the best yk, you have other options
Ah
WHAT THE FUCK IS A MILEEEEEEE
gtown kinda pigeonholes you if you do IR
Dyk new brunswick
yeah but like
im all heavy in that
You could go be a freaking Fulbright scholar
ive kinda already accepted haravrd doesnt watn me
yeah
It's a province
georgetown pls <3
indeed
My male relative lives there
You should meet him
And say hi to a fellow canadian
ontario
Oh
yeah makes sense, i mean gtown was my second choice and i didn’t commit to harvard for a while bc i wanted to see if i got in georgetown, but the caliber of IR education is at the same level id argue, even if it’s not at DC
That's very generic
ok
He once took a motorcycle from Toronto to New brunswick

yeah
are you domestic or intl?
Did u do like Ed or
domestic
His profile does not indicate international
ay good for you tho harvard rea is NO joke
also HUFPI my beloved (making policy reports for foreign governments 🤩)
REA yeah
I’ve never even been to Boston
Maybe that’s why I’m so attracted to Harvard
I've never been norther nc so like
It’s like a fantasized version in my head
pretty, their Widener library is giant and super restricted and i can’t wait to go
End up talking like Matt damon
literally miles of bookshelves
How my life's ambition was to go to southie
Wait
Is an interview random
I have no idea cuz I have terrible stats and I got one
omg is it a sign if you were viewed by harvard people on linkedin within the past month????!!!!! 🤯
@ripe plinth you have to get in so we can be international relations buddies together
i can share my premium geoguessr acct w you
LMAO
Northeastern kids r freaking out rn
I actually applied there rd too
That's in Boston as well
OMG
LMAOOOOO
YES!!!
i had to resort to ghetto geoguessr....
a fate worse than death
mhm
that and the country guessing game
and tetris
and sudoku
and nyt connections...
bro i do the worldle and the globle every day
bro the little games r so fun
my mini crossword best time is like 18 seconds, i avg like 30 tho
esp when its like the most boring english lit class
real
no wonder why u got into harvard
i have a little checklist of the little games i do in boring classes
with stats like that 🔥
Did y put that on ur app?
IB got me grinding tetris bro
only if there are no like actors or singers tho, im not a huge pop culture whiz
yeah
i should’ve
i’m so indescribably bad at tetris
im really bad at the crossword
campus diversity!!!
my no lifer tetris addiction gonna get me thru those gates trust 💯
i think that depends on location
i play wordscapes </3
i live in the cornfields 😭
but those crossword goats are like heroes
I like corn
corn is delicious
ok but then again i feel like cornfields make up most of the US
i live i. like the true midwest
i actually drew a map
bc so many ppl lump in like illinois
like chicago ain’t midwest to me
bro what about wisconsin and minnesota
minnesota borders canada how is that midwest 😭
i thought midwest was lik
thats the prarie
well midwest is a manifest destiny misnomer
but like
idk 😭
idk to me midwest is middle of the country + a certain vibe yk
like minnesota and iowa have completely different vibes to me
hello guys
hello blue
midwest is like
this is fair
from ohio to like kansas
wouldnt that be mid east
ohio is way too far east
i mean the traditional midwest is like
like ohio avoiding kentucky and below and norther than like oklahoma
the part that’s around the great lakes
it’s gotta be in the middle and toward the west imo
and then a little below and to the left
yeah ok we can say ohio is like great lakes
then we got like kansas, nebraska, missouri, the dakotas
i can compromise w anything west of chicago
officially it’s like
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin
as defined by the Census Bureau
but as a former southerner i think it’s more south
michigan is crazy work
ah well americans name anything anything
like the part you circled is like
great plains
i agree that that’s where the midwest should be tho
where
where in the south are you Kaz
I MUST KNOW
like why is the midwest in the upper east
i used to live in mississippi
because it was west back when we were expanding
yeah i can see that
oh well glad you don't anymore
i'm from georgia
savannah?
yes
manifest destiny ahh
hell nah Athens
🦅
whatcha talking abt savannah for
lmao one of my friends is going to college in savannah
good for them
illinois just wants to be a part of everything huh
i've never been to savvanh ngl
FACTS
serious FOMO
chicago
i wonde what its like out west
i wonder if its less racist
more progressive
more accepting
depends where you go tbh
less christian
i like to play a game whenver I drive thru georgia and alabama
how many churches r there per mile
like in rural parts of the midwest it’s definitely a lot more conservative but there are some big cities where it’s more progressive
midwest has like a neutral accent
same lol
they pronounce certain words weird tho, like roof sounds like ruff
i have a standard panhandle accent
tha'ts reserved for... foreigners
lmaooo
theyre not real americans
get them out
make room for us
the proper american speakers
i’m not a real american ☹️
don’t have my citizenship smh
what
i moved to america when i was very young
have you decided to spend the rest of your life here
in this glorious country
then
you are american
more american than those dudes who don't vote
and don't sign up for the draft
american isn't a stae of citizenship or not
it is deciding that this country is your country
and you belong here
not there
and you are giving your life, your potential to this country
some peop le don't get tomake that choice
but you did
you didn't have to be here
but you chose to be
that what makes you american
america deserves you
Omg congrats, do you mind sharing a bit abt what they asked
2nd interview?
Yes
Yeah sure
It was mostly just getting to know me further
Things like tell me about yourself, some questions relating to my school, a time I had to work with others, what I like to do in my free time, why harvard, a challenge I've faced, etc
I've heard that some people's aos asked specific questions about little details in their essays, but it wasn't really like that for me. The questions were more broad and conversational
yeah this checks out
mine asked one specific question about an ec but apart from that it was all broad
Yeah pretty similar for me
I'm grateful for the opportunity but also I don't want to be hopeful and get crushed in the end
hi
hi
dang you got accepted into harvard congrats
gonna be you soon
nvm i’m withdrawing my withdrawal
gotta take ur spot
um im p sure thats not allowed 🤓
womp womp
There’s one that everyone outside Harvard loves but is lowkey hated inside
o holdon dm me who
I'm so nosy
good feeling to have
spill the tea 😭
hold up dm me who bc lowk i think ik who you are talking about
@molten glen who;s ur guess (dm) i have oen 💀
Still no interview
@reef grove you have failed 😞
i forgor ☹️
Y’all out here gatekeeping 😭
u think this is worth going to?
Def
The acceptance rate is below 0.8%
But don't go solely based on prestige factor
See if it's good fro your major
imagine having an interview for harvard universidad
Frrrr
no bc im cooked wtf
us
Damn it’s not my first choice but I’ll definitely consider it due to its prime location factor
chill out y'all dont have finals?
Don’t stress out about apps then
no dw im fine
lol uiuc has me
im js freaking out for fun
no interview yet either
sure
I hope that’s not normal
no
fym 😭
actually so rigged j let me in Harvard bruh
username checks out

Hope I get an interview for this
i applied to reed
only cus steve jobs went there
thanks 🙂
The fact that you said universidad like Spanish but that’s India is sending me
guys should I used the stuff i responded with in my app in my interview
also is it wrong for me to not wanna go here cuz i'm worried my gpa will tank while I'm there cuz I am not that good
why do you care about your GPA
not to say that you shouldnt
but how important is it
pretty sure like 90% of people who apply to med school from harvard get into at least one
thanks
the alumn won’t know what you put so you can talk abt it yeah
i’ve heard there’s a lot of grade inflation but i might be wrong lol
there is grade inflation but you still need to work hard to get As
The kinda questions to ask
it just means that you won't get a C to B in any class
Well that's good
makes sense, it also depends on the classes you choose right? the ppl that gave me a tour told me they were taking like barely any classes 💀
yes
But an A+ is still hard?
most legacies ik r hella smart
I'm not arguing obv
no A+s
Sorry? I didn't get it lol
you can't get an A+ in a class
wtffff
Harvard is known for grade inflation
I’m p sure
No idea tho, but just what I heard from other friends at Harvard
I thought I could graduate with a 4.0 (here u can only get a 4.0 if u get A+ in every subjects)
I saw some people online saying that there's no grade inflation in most engineering/math classes idk if that's true
i assume A is just 4.0
our high school doesn’t do A+
neither does ours but here u need a 95+ on every class to get a 4.0 in college
which would be insane at harvard since classes here are wayyy easier
in college
grade inflation is lowkey a scam sometimes
ok ftmp no its not but its dependent on a lot of things
some classe syou can completely rely on it (gem's, which are mostly geneds i feel)
some classes are clearly pushing you in the direction of getting the better grade, but you sitll have to put a lot of work in like its not easy (cough cough intro stem classes)
like just put in 100% effort and ur probably fine but damn its still a struggle
then some classes yeah there aint no grade inflation lol but theres def no weedout classes here
lmfao
a little true because most people copy off of a few people's floated psets
exams are take home
is taking math 55 the strat
that's awesome
Harvard takes no AP credut
Make sense they wanna squeeze every last drop out of you ig
Realistically tho AP exams r easier than college exams
They are APs are easy
Nah
Do they take transfer credit?
my school doesn't offer APs but I studied off a practice AP test and it was way easier than the stuff we got on our exam
Yeah
i mean
That's the way those things work
You do harder practice
i don't think that's subjective at all
I feel like BC was much easier than 1b from what I’ve seen
yeah
So when it comes to the real test it's ez
i mean it's technically subjective but i think most people would say it's true
Although I wasn’t in 1B it’s just from what I’ve seen
I think it depends on the class because gen chem 1 was significantly easier for me than ap chem
I don't take APs but I'm saying they were way easier than both my school tests + college tests
AP have more structure, college is a lot more subjective and random
Gen chem 1 also had very different content so it wasn’t because I took AP chem
thank god I don't have to take chem again
i've not really taken an equivalent harvard course that is somehow easier than the AP course
that corresponds to it
😭 I love chem!
College is pretty structured imo
Is it ok to hate everything I wanna study
Maybe Harvard the one I'm at rn can vary wildly between professir
I mean why do you want to study it if you hate it
Yeah same
I'll probably retake Calc 2 instead of jumping to Multivariable calc for a GPA boost lmao
generally speaking harvard courses just cover more stuff period lol
Ours have structure but sometimes they go a bit wild
that sounds pretty elitist but i think that's generally true
You could just finish your multi req tho
I think college classes in general cover an insane amount of content
Because I wanna know it and learn it. It's like u learn coding cuz u like making games u just don't like the whole lesrning+effort part
u gotta be kidding me I'm doing thermodynamics rn and I hate it (still better than organic tho)
I’m doing Thermo too
AP chem thermo was way better
Come w me to my multicultural lit class we can cry tgthr
College Thermo is hater
You don’t hate it then you’re just challenged by it
Ig 😭
I like most people
Am incredibly effort adverse
chem is mentally challenging for me
Gen chem is not my fav
I think I will enjoy orgo next quarter
Yeah
Cool
That’s why I’m on this thread
I’m never taking orgo I’m not built for that
U don't have to be a mod to be on this thread tho
good luck
Yeah but why would I be on this thread if I’m not a senior in hs or a Harv student
Thank you!
I thought u were a Harvard student 💀
Nah
Also I pop in the FSU mega thread one in a while cuz it's interesting
Even tho I didn't apply
Where do you go
Yes it’s different when you’re a senior
I was in like 20 as a senior
Somewhere else
Why sad
bc second sem was insanely difficult for me
i did not cook on the exam 😭🙏
It’s okay
i’m not a STEM major tho it’s okay
i’ve gotta check my requirements fr
I was thinking of taking all my gen eds first semester
so that my second semester is purely stem classes
I mean if your major doesn’t need math then you don’t have to I think idk I need to check gov reqs
What if you want to take a fall stem class
yeah probabaly cs50 and a math class
oh i think i have to fulfill a quantitative reasoning requirement but intro to stats fulfills that
Spring is less aura fall has all the fun stuff
Gov50
Or EC50
Or cs50
yeah I'll take it
oh yay !!
professor David is amazing
i’ll just take math 55
True
ez claps for me
Nbd light work
I already took half of the course a while ago so I hope it'll be easy
(i nearly died in bc calc)
I'm so bad at CS
what math r u taking now
Depends on your prior experience can always do the less comfortable assignments
ap stats, multi calc didn’t fit in my schedule :(
i’ve heard multi is easier than bc tho
bc like you already know the base concepts
I mean I just hate CS but there's no way to avoid it
I hope so!
For the writing placement do we have to do it in one setting?
What major again
Electrical Engineering
Ah
all the internships lowkey require some CS experience
+is it difficult
It’s not difficult it takes some time tho so I would make sure you’re settled
5 hours💀
And I've seen some people that expos 20 isn't gonna be about the same topics or whatever for everyone
do we get to choose at least
No interview, I’m thinking that means rejected
But it’s also Harvard so I’m glad I even had the opportunity to apply
no I just got one chill
they’re still rolling out and im p sure they will be until early march
also is the email for Harvard admissions office [email protected]? I need my school to send an update about my application
they're still coming out
Ehhh I don’t feel like I’ll get one lol
ah well
real
me type shi
NOT FOR ME
believe bruh
I saw on Reddit some kid that had a 1.9 gpa got one

i used to believe they didnt prescreen but there are arguments for both sides
realistically it shouldnt concern you whether they prescreen or not because its out of your control
UMM
help this is real
HARVARD PLS INTERVIEW ME
222
I’ve said that exact phrase like a million times lol
extreme emphasis on this
a lot of like high school math gods just didnt wanna/couldnt put in the work for math 55 😭 and thats so valid
like
~20-25 hours a week
and yeah there was some copying but rly some problems were so bad like a handful of kids woould figure it out in a reasonable amount of time and have to explain it to their peers lmao
yes
intro math is rough here
so r u embarrassed yet
I feel like the intro math classes are very well organized tho
like
from 21 to 55
there is something for everyone
organized is probably oen of few goods
a lot of resources too
so they will make you struggle but like also be there
yeah each class is a bit sketch but the way they have it all laid out is very nice
true
math 22

sometimes I wish I took 25 for the analysis
nope! ill say it everyday until i get it to show my "demonstrated interest" 🤓
and cause dr wood haunts my nightmares
😭
W answer
25 seems like another quite sketch class
like ive heard similar complaints about 22 and 25
55 is a fantastic class but its 55
I hear people like it who take it
i think the class itself is a good class ive just heard complaints of like the grading
ah that maybe
like some 16'ers were complaining about it so quite a few drop from 25 to 22
and then the 22'ers drop to 21 LOL
it seems like a good 55 alternative prereq wise
yeah
its also good if you know you wanna do pure math but you are just not ready to dedicate an insane amount of time to math
you do get similar things out of it
or like enough of it where you won't rly regret not taking 55 (unless u do think you could've handled it)
if you know you want to do math but don't have enough experience to do 55
oh yeah that too
the fact that you cover analysis 2nd sem is nice
mhm
its also a move to take like 21 or 22 and just take an analysis class 2nd sem anyway
true I know a guy who did 22 then 112
there are definitely a handful of probably math concentrators just doing neeither
yeah
112 is the one
but I feel like that would require uh
prior knowledge
and I feel like 22b builds off of 22a
in a loose sense
or at least Wood structures it assuming everyone took it
i think if you're gonna take one of them might as well take both
it really doesnt hurt
It hurts
I want to leave the math department classes they’re scary
One more after this sem probably
go to stats
yk u want to
stats is like good right
I am but
I need to finish math req
And take analysis
Cause it’s good for higher level stat and grad level stat etc
Then no more math courses imma grind stat cs
when's the last time harvard sends interviews?
probably eom
but really they can send them and not send them whenever they want 💀
Day 46 of no Harvard interview
day 46 of no harvard interview
are there math req's for stats too? or are you just being a nerd
nvm i see the vision
scary
this is statmaxxing to the core
Well beyond multi and Lin Alg no but since they’re very intersected having analysis proof experience is very helpful
SOMEONE GET ME AN INTERVIEW PLEASE 😭
U can have mine
flex
bro tryna tempt us
dawg u got an interview be fr
you had yale
Not sure why you are coping over a Harvard interview
😭
Girl u fr rn
yes bro

They'll be begging you to come
Rn they just be playing hard to get
I literally only applied Harvard as far as ivys go
That and jhu
I'm not going
I'm not good enough
But @misty remnant
HELPP LOL real

yale means a lot more considering they prescreen for sure
dont mean nothing dawg 😂😂😂 (i’m getting rejected)
a2c kid when they need to have a relationship 🔥🔥
What was that
why would u apply to all of them brah
as u should be
i did 4 i feel like there’s no way someone would want to attend all of them
It costs too much to apply all of them
the thank you essay was the first one i wrote lol
i had fee waivers
same
also like i applied to 19 schools i can’t imagine if 8 of them were ivies lol
don’t matter goat
lowk i wrote all my rds the last 2 weeks of december lol
syop conplaining
other than BU
yea i’ll take that
I’m an intl and I am probably gonna go to oxford, I just wanted to see if I could get in
ah
yeah it’s basically prestige maxing
i’m cookedkkdkdksmsnsjsjsjsjjsjsa
It took A week for my Harvard interviewer to answer
i think columbia were my strongest essays
he’s scary asl
Sometimes they have a life
i didn’t even get a tufts interview lol
cannot take a wk to read an email
Just say yes to everything not illegal
Apparently
bro is so pick me
i lowk don’t want one anymore bruh i don’t wanna do an interview for a school i prob won’t go to
i’m cooked.

Who posts that on LinkedIn fr
hoping they don’t give me one
he does bro
That's hella embarassing
yale>
College isn't everything
He went to Tufts Tufts sounds like a brand of marshmallows reduce the ego
he is bro

Alr I get it but remember 3 months from now it'll all be done
idk why i applied to tufts
Is he good looking or
he’s like mid
Yk have any other redeeming qualities
he’s scary tho
like tufts and jhu idk why i applied lol i think i just saw that the essays weren’t that hard
My dad was once a 42 yr old white man
Of what
He prob watched one episode of suits and been like I'm fucking Harvey dent
Well say
You can do smthn Abt that
Cut a deal

Or on his social media
where he js feeds his own ego
has his whole history n allat
he doesn’t like being told no
😭
per the article
Can you ask the university to swap interviews bc u feel uncomfortable
Again
You can have my Harvard interview
It's useless
I'm not gonna get in
He's gonna ask me Abt myself
I don't have anything to say
I've done no research
No internships
He's a rich white guy
What do I say/do
well then they gonna know i stalked the shit out of this man
talk about your hobbies.. background.. ecs
Say someone told u Abt him in casual convo leading you to do some research
what h wwnna study
💀💀💀💀

But it's gonna be lame, like immigrant, racism, middle class, doctor
He's prob seen a million of me

Alr john
I'll say I farm show
well i haven’t even had the interviewer gang
That snow is my passion
I wanna go to Harvard as a snow agriculture major
do you just have all shit interviewers wtf
Wait that was u
That reddit post was
oh i don’t use reddit 🤓 other than to peruse.
I'm investing in stock for a diy icee business
I mean that's most of us
i heard that ppl who dont get interviews are in the bottom 10% of applicants 😔
my yale interviewer was very hot tho
That's "heard"
Separate discourse from fact
yeah i lied
I wish my interviewer was hot
except i didn’t really care bc his face was hottt
how it feels to spread misinformation
jazzy
jazzy
excuse me?
i don’t like white male interviewers bc all of mine flopped
Drop the name bro
Dm
sure
I don't mind, but how 😭
what does eom mean?
Pretend to be me
I can send you to zoom link
has anyone from socal gotten an interview
end of month
I got one in central FL
is she a female 😂😂
hes a guy loll
💀
are any of y’all at the debate tournament rn
i go to hmc thursday
is it as prominent to harvard students as debate?
hopefully not bc everyone’s dogging on the debate kids 😭
those stupid debate tournaments
i stg
is hardvard need blind?
yes
Aren’t they need blind for all students
whoops ur right i was thinking about mit i think
MIT is also need blind 😭
some place is need blind for domestic but not intnerationals
There’s 11 schools that are need blind for all students
MIT and Harvard are 2 of those I think
caltech
No I went to an info session for caltech and they made it very clear they were need aware for intls 😭
i know
that is what i was thinking bat
hello youngnerd
hello
how is harvard
good how is blue
