[zealous cipher]

Uni or cc?

[gleaming coral]

Don't think a cc would offer anthro

[zealous cipher]

That's what I thought lmao

[gleaming coral]

I'm pretty lucky to live in a college town

Higher Ed acceible from hs

[worthy niche]

is harvard worth it for basket weaving

[gleaming coral]

Unknown

[zealous cipher]

Where if you want to share?

[gleaming coral]

Athens

They offer dual enrollment for Clarke and all surrounding counties

[zealous cipher]

[gleaming coral]

You have to apply to the college tho

Like in sophomore/junior year

Full out an official app

[zealous cipher]

Ahh so UGA

[gleaming coral]

Yeah

You can also go to tech and some CCS here to if u want

[zealous cipher]

Tech DE must be hard though

[gleaming coral]

You can't even imagine

They only offer advanced math

Like calc 3 and number theory

And you have to get a 5 in BC to even qualify

[zealous cipher]

Oh damn

[gleaming coral]

They only take like 800 kids too so very competitibe

I'm not gonna be a math major so I didn't bother

[worthy niche]

Will the huzz even care if i get into harvard

[ripe slate]

maybe ?

[topaz mason]

yea

[pallid galleon]

Omg

I love Hmc

[pallid galleon]

What? I thought Boston was at Harvard?

[worthy niche]

[zealous cipher]

I told them my ED acceptance

[half jewel]

my stupid ass showed up to my stanford interview with a caltech water bottle and caltech lanyard

[zealous cipher]

In my Harvard interview

[half jewel]

LMFAO

[zealous cipher]

(I did Harvard REA btw)

[wet owl]

U didn't commit to caltech 💀 ?

that's insane

[half jewel]

no it is REA not ED

[wet owl]

ik but it's caltech lol

[half jewel]

I apply many regular

I would have turned down NMSU but i can’t get into my porta😭

[wet owl]

Honestly I don't get the point in all this but good luck

[worthy niche]

caltech is insane

congrats!

[half jewel]

Pasadena is too hot :<

I am from far pacific northwest

[worthy niche]

caltech is so much better than harvard

[half jewel]

rain all the time

[worthy niche]

u should go there

[half jewel]

Think twilight

pasadena TOO JOT

HOT

[wet owl]

I'll take cali weather over Boston's on any day

[half jewel]

NOOOO

[wet owl]

Wait until u have finals and it's freezing

the worst thing in the world

[half jewel]

i applied early to caltech as a safety so i wouldn’t be worried in regular

fr fr

[wet owl]

if she's a STEM kid which I assume so 100% yes

[wet owl]

It's very much a safety yeah

[worthy niche]

what is harvard the best at anymore

[half jewel]

LMFAOOOOO

[worthy niche]

is caltech is stem and yale is humanities what is harvard

[wet owl]

Everything

[half jewel]

i’m a pure maths major but also interested in political science and law

[wet owl]

people at Harvard have personalities at least

[worthy niche]

i have heard the opposite

sorry

[wet owl]

it depends on how much u fit in the school's community

not everyone would enjoy it for sure

just like any other school

[worthy niche]

harvard is the best at business

?

[half jewel]

Caltech lacks the study abroad i want, they only have 6 approved programs and they’re all in western europe

[wet owl]

We r the best at everything bye (I'm so biased)

[worthy niche]

do u tell ppl u go to harvard

[wet owl]

where else would u want to go

[half jewel]

Budapest

[wet owl]

I will tell them 💀

y'all gotta be less picky tbh lol

[half jewel]

Caltech also didn’t give me enough money 😡

[worthy niche]

tbh ts pmo idrk hw u do ts bt idgaf

[wet owl]

huh

[worthy niche]

its a meme

[wet owl]

i'll probabaly have to work too but it's Harvard so no problem

[wet owl]

my humor is broken

[frail plank]

I really want a Harvard interview

No interview flat out rejected

[worthy niche]

or maybe ur just so amazing that they dont think u need an interview

[frail plank]

Highly doubt that

[worthy niche]

i dont think anyone who gets into harvard actually expects to get into harvard

[half jewel]

me

[half jewel]

yeah except for me

[frail plank]

I feel like I’m strong enough for an interview tbh

[wet owl]

Humble urself even if ur being sarcastic please

[half jewel]

jk admissions are random!!!!! into california institute if technology BUT DENIED NKT EVEN DEFERRED TO GEORGIA INDTITUTE OF TRCUNOLOGU

[wet owl]

US?

[frail plank]

I’m US. Well I’m not saying that’s what happened to me

Also Bay Area

[wet owl]

U still have a shot without one then

[wet owl]

Ohhhh still maybe you'll make it who knows

[half jewel]

unfortunately i have no harvard alumni in my county or adjacent counties and my HS has never sent to harvard or comparable schools

[wet owl]

believe in urself

[half jewel]

so no interview 😒

[frail plank]

My area definitely has alumni I think

[knotty orchid]

you’re NA right

[wet owl]

for sure

[half jewel]

yes , from pacific northwest !

[knotty orchid]

ah nice

[wet owl]

but I bet a lot of kids applied

[half jewel]

i need my feeder summer program to clutch up

and get me into harvard

[wet owl]

cool I don't think the alum has to be from the exact region tho

[half jewel]

over 50% to hypsm 😢😢😢

[frail plank]

From what I heard, if Harvard is considering you they will put you on a priority list to get interviewed and that can happen even like 2 weeks before RD, and they will have an alumni from another region to do it

[wet owl]

mine was from the furthest south and I'm from the north

[frail plank]

Omg same

I have an award with a huge matriculation of ivies but I don’t think it means anything to me

[half jewel]

did u do SSP

[frail plank]

No

[half jewel]

oh

[wet owl]

it's the first time I hear this gl

[frail plank]

Harvard seems to be both availability and priority

Idk

I was reading the Harvard file and even like a few years ago I think the alumni interviewing committee had some say in it too

Like they would give a list of the most compelling applicants but maybe I read wrong

[worthy niche]

i think harvard interviews are nondeterminate

[half jewel]

idc i am getting in

[frail plank]

Well it’s less of being how much it matters

It just assures you that ur application is competitive

[worthy niche]

disagree

[wet owl]

It can give u a boost tho

if u do well and they REALLY like u

[half jewel]

I mean it does not really matter what we think right

like

[frail plank]

From people I know who got into Harvard and Yale

Not getting an interview and getting in is rare

[half jewel]

interviews . have their purpose

[frail plank]

Even auto admits like isef 1st place get interviews

[half jewel]

isef is boring

that is not auto admit

[frail plank]

He had other crazy stuff too

He only applied HSM and he got into HSM

[worthy niche]

my interview was definitely availability based

it was inperson and there were 4-5 different alumni there interviewing w people from local highschools coming in for their interviews

[reef grove]

correct answer

[worthy niche]

no chance all of us were harvard competitive

[frail plank]

If u got ur interview the week after u submit it’s probs availability

But if u get ur interview 2 months after different story i feel

They def do priority

I’m sure about that to a degree

It’s both availability and priority

Same for Duke pretty sure

[worthy niche]

I would think its the opposite

committee meets early due to the large amountnof apps

[half jewel]

i’ve had hmc, reed, dartmouth, stanford, mit, penn, princeton
hmc was with an AO, dartmouth and reed were with students
BUT HARVARD HATES ME BCS I SUCK

[worthy niche]

likelys are distributed early as well

they need to interview you to give out a likely so your first interview would have to be early

[frail plank]

Likelies don’t come in at once though

[frail plank]

Nah a lot of people I know get likelies before interview

Interviews are also used to sell the school

[worthy niche]

harvard likely is the second interview though

how is rhat possible

[frail plank]

Yale is different idk

[half jewel]

harvard literally has specific directions for interviewers if the applicant has already received a likely

but no first interview

[frail plank]

Idk

I just want an interview man

It’s actually getting to a point where I don’t think I’m getting one

[worthy niche]

Its harvard

[half jewel]

LMAO some of my friends didn’t know harvard was real

[frail plank]

I’m not asking for an acceptance

An interview

I know I’m competitive

[half jewel]

me af

i’m getting in

[quasi shadow]

I got my duke interview but I’m still waiting on this one

And I got that one pretty late too

[reef grove]

it was made up so more ppl would watch suits

[frail plank]

When

[quasi shadow]

Like late jan

Early feb

[frail plank]

Wow

[quasi shadow]

That sort of thing

[frail plank]

What is ur region

[half jewel]

i got my penn interview a few days ago but i don’t think it’s evaluative

[quasi shadow]

[frail plank]

I’m Bay Area and I’m feeling cooked

Eastcoast people get so many interviews ahhh

[quasi shadow]

I got into good schools EA too

Idk what tf harv is doing

[half jewel]

[frail plank]

I haven’t even gotten that

[worthy niche]

my harvard interview was a good experience

[quasi shadow]

No engineering

[worthy niche]

theyre very unique ppl

[half jewel]

do u do comp math

[worthy niche]

I hope u get one and have a good experience too

[quasi shadow]

I applied computer engineering most places and electrical eng to harvard

[quasi shadow]

No

[half jewel]

arml??

[frail plank]

I applied history to Harvard idk

[quasi shadow]

No?

[frail plank]

Time is running out

Time is running out I say

[quasi shadow]

Oh we have mutuals

I friend random people on this app

[gleaming coral]

guys should I learn coding

[quasi shadow]

Don’t worry bout it

[half jewel]

oh we have two mutuals that i know in completely different contexts and the only connection is they both do arml LMFAO

[quasi shadow]

Yeah fair

[half jewel]

yeah

[reef grove]

no

[gleaming coral]

@reef grove why

[half jewel]

you will have to eventually

[worthy niche]

Yes

[frail plank]

If nothing by feb 28

[half jewel]

don’t colleges require computer science

[reef grove]

aura loss

[gleaming coral]

i've been watching a lot of gamedev videos

[quasi shadow]

What’s ur college record rn

[frail plank]

I am cooked cooked

I feel cooked cooked regardless

[gleaming coral]

i mean that's true

[frail plank]

No Dartmouth, no Duke, no Penn, no Harvard, no Yale

[quasi shadow]

Admitted CALTECH DENIED GTECH?

[gleaming coral]

caltech?

[quasi shadow]

Holy moly

[half jewel]

LMFAO

[quasi shadow]

What major

[gleaming coral]

bor you got this

[half jewel]

math

[worthy niche]

penn doesnt matter

[gleaming coral]

also waht is the university of pudget sound

[quasi shadow]

Lol what

They’re tweaking

I got deferred gtech for compeng lol

[frail plank]

Yeah but the others I haven’t received at all!!!

[quasi shadow]

Only deferral

[frail plank]

It’s very sad

[half jewel]

it’s in the puget sound

[gleaming coral]

what

[half jewel]

That is a region of washington state

[wet owl]

EE is the best

[quasi shadow]

Wdym what

I got deferred

[gleaming coral]

for what?

english?

[quasi shadow]

Computer engineering

[gleaming coral]

oh

okay make smore sense

i tought compeng was ocmposittion/english

[quasi shadow]

I would’ve said CE but civil is a thing so

[gleaming coral]

looks cool

btw is coding hard

i can do some javascript

[half jewel]

no

[worthy niche]

python most useful

[gleaming coral]

but that's not very popular

[half jewel]

ya

Blue what is ur major

[wet owl]

I hate CS

[gleaming coral]

biology

but i figured if I have coding skills i'll be more marketable

and i'm also premed

[reef grove]

depends on the language

[gleaming coral]

so if i want research stuff knowing to code could hlep right

[gleaming coral]

i speak english fluently, pretty proud of that

[reef grove]

better than me

[gleaming coral]

i'm not gonna learn chinese characters to code

[half jewel]

learn R and python

not in that order

[wet owl]

in biotech yeah

[reef grove]

it depends on what you wanna code for, like if you wanna do game dev stuff youll prolly wanna learn C#, if you want to do website design you gotta learn a hodgepodge of diff languages

[hardy fern]

R is awful it should be burnt to the ground

[gleaming coral]

my mom knows R and C++

[reef grove]

C# best language

[wet owl]

I'll probably stick to C I found Python harder

[gleaming coral]

I'll buy uh C# for dummies

[wet owl]

maybe C++ cuz I'll need it

[half jewel]

pirate it

[hardy fern]

but yes for most natural sciences you will need python and R (for statistic analysis and that sorta stuff)

[rugged vessel]

i need to learn how to code UUUUUUUUUUGH

[gleaming coral]

I have this book caleld german for dummies and thought I'd teahc myself german

[reef grove]

unity + vs code + C# is the play for game development

[gleaming coral]

that was two years ago and all I can say is good morning and the time is

[hardy fern]

C is not easier than Python ...

[wet owl]

same

[wet owl]

I found it easier idfk (I forgot everything I learned tho)

[gleaming coral]

my message got flagged

[half jewel]

python has many libraries for Biology

[gleaming coral]

um p i r @ t ! n G is fine

[half jewel]

i hate Biologu

[gleaming coral]

i just took a bio anthro test

[hardy fern]

its really not worth learning C unless ur CS cause it's only really used for "low" level stuff

[gleaming coral]

i think I got a 100

[reef grove]

yeah learn C# instead

make cool games

[wet owl]

I learned a bit of it cuz it was the only lang I was able to pick up lmao

[gleaming coral]

So in summary I'm getting this, For biotech and bio stuff learn R, learn C# for games, and learn Python in general cuz its good

[hardy fern]

so i can be unemployed with unity skills?

[reef grove]

or you can make those terrible mobile games

[gleaming coral]

i am very fluent in scratch will htat help

[reef grove]

undubitably

[hardy fern]

yeah it gets really annoying once you get deeper into it though, because you're manually allocating memory

[wet owl]

my school made us take it for 3 years

[gleaming coral]

actually 💀

[wet owl]

worst 3 years of my life lmao so boring

[gleaming coral]

i've bene using it since middle school

[reef grove]

no

[wet owl]

THAT WAS FUN

Ik some SQL cuz we learn it in school

[gleaming coral]

@reef grove i'm getting mixed messages from you

[hardy fern]

btw guys for an alternative

[gleaming coral]

what if.... I make my own coding language

[hardy fern]

microsoft powerpoint is turing complete so you can write any program in it

[reef grove]

mb all

just be fluent in excel spreadsheets

[gleaming coral]

@reef grove btw the optimist club ISN"T EMAILING ME BACK

[hardy fern]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNjxe8ShM-8

[gleaming coral]

its kinda annoying

[wet owl]

is C++ harder than C?

[gleaming coral]

also gotta head to physics

gbye

[reef grove]

its been like 12 hours 😭

[reef grove]

i dont think so

i found it easier

[wet owl]

idek where to get started tbh 💀 I'm not into CS but I'll need it at some point

so I'll stick to learning what I absolutely need

[reef grove]

khan academy has good resources, as does code.org iirc

idk what language code.org uses but khan academy teaches python

[wet owl]

thank you!

[worthy niche]

guys! what the skibidi!

[frail plank]

Only 10% of yales class got in last year without an interview

I’m doomed

[reef grove]

yale sucks

[wet owl]

agree

[frail plank]

No Harvard interview…

I haven’t had any interview that is pre screened

[worthy niche]

ok but what percentage of those people were likelies?

[wet owl]

U got a problem

then deal with it lmao

[wet owl]

• don't forget the feeder schools

they have like mass interviews

nah urs why u so pissed off lmaooooo

[frail plank]

Me too man

I’m pretty sure I’m competitive enough

So what’s the problem with my application

I’m not sure yet

[worthy niche]

why do u want them to get ur hopes up

[frail plank]

Interview me. I’m domestic

[frail plank]

?

[knotty orchid]

dooooom 🗿

[knotty orchid]

almost every applicant is competitive enough, it doesn’t mean anything

[wet owl]

what country r u from? I have a friend in Jordan who didn't get one

she's hella smart tho

[worthy niche]

idk i just feel like ur asking for an interview just for the sake of an interview

[frail plank]

If you saw my application I think it’s worth an interview for sure

[worthy niche]

i dont get why

[frail plank]

Reassurance

People who don’t get interviews barely get in

Just based on statistics

[worthy niche]

but theres already only a 3% chance u get in

[wet owl]

What major?

[frail plank]

Not individually

[frail plank]

History and classics

[knotty orchid]

maybe but at the end of the day it’s just nonsensical to worry about these things when you can’t do anything until March 27th lol

[worthy niche]

that interview doesnt mean anything bc u will never know if its availability based or to collect info

[knotty orchid]

2% on RD bro

[frail plank]

Sent a college update this morning so I hope they see it

[wet owl]

cool

[frail plank]

I just know for one thing

If I go like 20/20 reject for rd

It wasn’t my app

[knotty orchid]

exactly

[worthy niche]

i feel like if u go 20/20 rejects it would have to be ur app

[knotty orchid]

I’m just gonna assume it was because I applied for aid 🤣

[frail plank]

Because by both objective and subjective measures, I know it’s good

[wet owl]

It's not ur fault and realistically Bay area will probably make things harder

[frail plank]

Yeah bay sucks

But I still feel like i should get interviews in the bay

Lots of alumni

[wet owl]

I wanna live there but it's competitive for sure

[worthy niche]

i admire ur confidence

[knotty orchid]

you still have until the end of the month

[reef grove]

@wet owl whats ur major again

[frail plank]

Yeah.

Losing hope day by day

[wet owl]

Electrical Engineering

[reef grove]

oh right right

[knotty orchid]

me for Yale

but still

[reef grove]

we prolly wont have many classes tg then LMAO

[worthy niche]

did u apply anywhere ea or ed

[frail plank]

No

[knotty orchid]

electives 🤓

[wet owl]

I wanted to take Justice but apparently it can't be a gened

[worthy niche]

how come

[gleaming coral]

Yeah but they should kick up a storm to answer me

[reef grove]

aw darn

are you gonna take a language?

[wet owl]

I think I'll get it waived

[gleaming coral]

Soy una gringa

[reef grove]

fr

[reef grove]

oh makes sense, dyk one already?

[wet owl]

Maybe in Expos20 + GenED classes

[wet owl]

Yeah I'm trilingual

[reef grove]

oooooh fancy

id say im bilingual and a half

[wet owl]

I can relate to this lol

[frail plank]

You know what’s fucked

[reef grove]

im native hungarian, lived in freedom land for basically all my life, and am in ap french

[frail plank]

Columbia responded to my question 3 weeks later…

[wet owl]

• u said ur taking multivariable calc next year right?

[frail plank]

Actually

Almost 4 weeks later

[reef grove]

ehhhh idk since i dont think math is a req for my major

[frail plank]

They responded as soon as I sent in my update

[knotty orchid]

#1268143812878925927

[reef grove]

itd be nice to take a math tho

[frail plank]

Nah I’m just venting n

[knotty orchid]

ah

[gleaming coral]

What langs?

[wet owl]

oooh that's cool!

I don't think we talked on insta or smt tbh

for a sec I thought I talked to u there

[gleaming coral]

U have citizenship tho right

[wet owl]

makes sense then

[worthy niche]

@frail plank

how competitive r u

[reef grove]

do i know your insta? i dont think i ever gave u mine lmao

[reef grove]

hungarian

[worthy niche]

ik the bay area is very tricky but i also know theyre all cs and stem

[wet owl]

I'll be doxxing myself lmao

[frail plank]

I think I’m good enough to get in

[wet owl]

wait r u in the class gc?

[worthy niche]

what are competitive ecs for the bay area

[frail plank]

I mean many are too

[reef grove]

no :(

[worthy niche]

for humanities^

[frail plank]

I have the strongest awards you can get in history

[wet owl]

or from cimson connect

[worthy niche]

i see

[wet owl]

a lot of people dropped their accounts

[gleaming coral]

American citizenship tho

[worthy niche]

in that cade maybe ur literally just a confirmed admit

[reef grove]

yeah i dropped my acct in crimson connect

[reef grove]

nope

[frail plank]

Nahhh

Auto admits are rare and even they get interviews

[gleaming coral]

What? Millions of ppl speak languages tho how is what lang u speak reveal anything?

[gleaming coral]

Green card?

[reef grove]

yeah

[frail plank]

I ain’t better than my grand prize first place winner friends

Who got an interview

[gleaming coral]

Okay things make more sense now

it'll suck tho

[frail plank]

Honestly

Best tip no one will tell u

Just start writing

Don’t think just write

Don’t outline

Just write

[half jewel]

For a shitty essay that makes

too artsy

[gleaming coral]

what?

sorry i'm getting some DNCs

[half jewel]

figure out what you want your essay to say

and what examples you will give to say it

[gleaming coral]

here, i'm below the word count a bit but I kinda reworked a bit

Since a young age, I have stressed independence. While academics were always a priority, more than that, being a well rounded person is as well. I have devoted a lot of my time to learning life skills, like washing dishes, cleaning, and cooking. I have also seized opportunities that came by me, like volunteering for my local church’s science fair. This was all I would have the ability and the aptitude to be a skilled, and functional adult. College is a huge step for me, I will be a legal adult, having a lot of initiative in my own life. This is something I want to take advantage of the fullest, and prove to myself my preparation is worth it. Applying to this scholarship is part of that, this scholarship is one step in my journey to adulthood. With this in mind, I would like to use the scholarship money to purchase textbooks and supplement other educational costs. This will lessen my financial burden as I pursue my education, and mature into the person I know I can be.

[half jewel]

oh

scholarship essays 😢

[gleaming coral]

yes

help

[half jewel]

well

Cut unnecessary stuff

[gleaming coral]

i kinda wanted to keep it short and sweet

what's unneccessary

@reef grove the optimist club should email me sooner

[frail plank]

ima rewrite this for how id do it while maintainity ur info

[gleaming coral]

That's fine

[frail plank]

actually i just realized im washed rn

ive written too many essays and i just cant anymore

[knotty orchid]

is this a serious essay

[gleaming coral]

I'm literally editing this as I speak

[gleaming coral]

Wdym by serious

It's a rough draft bro

[knotty orchid]

like are u actually writing this

no no I mean are u acc applying

[gleaming coral]

U can just tell me it's bad

[knotty orchid]

noo it’s fine

I was confused

[gleaming coral]

But yes I am

[knotty orchid]

but maybe don’t start with since a young age

it’s a bit overused

imo

[gleaming coral]

Thanks

Ok I'm getting motion sickness

I'll edit more later

[frail plank]

its not just that

its vague

[gleaming coral]

Yeah but only two hundred words

And I really did learn to do a lot of chores and shit

Do they really want me to explain my accomplishments in competitions they probably never heard of

[frail plank]

they wanna know the why and the story

[gleaming coral]

How can I tell a story In 200 words 😭

How can I make it engaging

[knotty orchid]

do what u did for the Harvard supps

[gleaming coral]

I told stories

[knotty orchid]

yes

[gleaming coral]

But the prompt was to explain um

Like why I need the scholarship and what kindve person I am

Now strictly speaking I don't need need the scholarship but I'd very much like to have it

[knotty orchid]

I don’t have much experience here so idk

[gleaming coral]

Maybe I should pick a story that explains who I am from my life

[wet owl]

just don't lie tbh

it never ends well

[gleaming coral]

I'm not lying tho

Why would u think that 💀

[wet owl]

u said u don't need it lmao

ik a dude who tried to faked being trans to get into a program 💀 it ended up badly

[knotty orchid]

🤣

[wet owl]

he got sent him in the middle of it

all of us have proof that can get all of his college offers rescinded

but we're nice

[gleaming coral]

Ok

Growing as a person is important, sometimes we change in ways outside of our control, but improving yourself is beyond difficult. I used to be someone resistant to change, unwilling to learn or grow and passively take in the world around me. This worked fine for years until I started to fail writing. Two years of failing alarmed my father, who taught me an important lesson. For an entire year, every single day I was tasked with writing an essay. If it was not good enough, my father would reject it until I had written one that had satisfied him. At the time I thought it was torture, every bus ride home I spent dreading the hours I would have to pour on paper. But in the end when it came time for my final exam, I aced it. There are a lot of things in life that are hard to accomplish, changing yourself is one of them. This scholarship will lessen my financial burden as I pursue my education, allowing me to purchase books and pay off fees while I mature and change into the person I know I can be.

what about this

[misty remnant]

i’m gonna steal your essay

[gleaming coral]

[frail plank]

princeton and georgetown

princeton interviewer grew up in my city and is a phd student at princeton

[remote forge]

ive heard interviewers say like ppl they pushed a lot end up getting rejected and ppl they didnt rlly push got accepted so no correlation

[frail plank]

thats it. i got princeton about 3 weeks after deadline

[frail plank]

wdym pushed a lot?

[frail plank]

she never responded to my thank you note though

[remote forge]

LOL dont wrry my interviewers didnt respond

[frail plank]

its not thereport

its the fact that you got one

the report barely matters but the fact that you got one shows that they might be considering you

which is why I find it so important to have an interview

i dont know what happened to my app, i dont know

[remote forge]

thats true but honestly i wouldnt stress super hard abt it cause ive seen plently of darmtouth students get in without an interview

[frail plank]

the thing is

i dont even ask for much
