[wet owl]

the propaganda is insane

[knotty orchid]

yeah I keep getting told do not come to america you will get racially abused and stuff

[gleaming coral]

I mean if u came to my town

U might get some schtick

But I'm in the south

We tend to be pretty discriminatory here

[reef grove]

my bf is puerto rican and he regularly gets told to go back to his own country tho

it sucks

[wet owl]

Im white but like same thing

[gleaming coral]

I've been told to go back to my own country

[wet owl]

LMAO

[knotty orchid]

like people just come up to him and say that? 😭

okay thats crazy

[gleaming coral]

I mean yeah

[reef grove]

like if he’s at the gas station someone will yell it or smth

[gleaming coral]

A truck pulled up to me and said that

The driver rolled down his window

And said go back

[wet owl]

ur the most american american I know

[knotty orchid]

holy okay thats a bit extreme

[gleaming coral]

I am very American

[wet owl]

Ik

[gleaming coral]

But even I am half asian

[reef grove]

sometimes a slur, but never the right one 💀

[gleaming coral]

So I don't "look" american

[knotty orchid]

which bit of asia may I ask

[reef grove]

i look super american but i am 0% american lol

[gleaming coral]

East asia

[knotty orchid]

ah nice

[gleaming coral]

Ive got the white person skin the Asian face and hair

[wet owl]

I blend in every where that's good

[knotty orchid]

so ur wasian

[gleaming coral]

Yeah basically

I couldn't tell I was Asian if u looked at the back of my head tho

[reef grove]

yeah my parents have super strong accents tho

[knotty orchid]

are you ethnically from the middle east or just moved there?

[reef grove]

so we get clocked if we travel together

[gleaming coral]

Wdym

Like associated?

[reef grove]

like ppl will ask “oh where are you from?”

[gleaming coral]

Ah yeah I get that

[wet owl]

my mom has a British accent and my dad doesn't have one lol

[gleaming coral]

Most ppl just assume I'm chinese

Even tho I'm not

[knotty orchid]

is it true that american passport control is crazy, I went to vegas once and it was pretty chill but I get told they hold and question people a lot

[gleaming coral]

Kinda annoying ngl

[gleaming coral]

Yeah that's true

It depends on who u het

[reef grove]

absolutely, one time they dusted my hands and shoes for bomb powder

i was like 15

[wet owl]

by DNA 70% European cuz not my grandma but a most of the older grandpas marries European women

[gleaming coral]

If the immigration officer is black/Hispanic they'll be better on you than a white guy

In my expeirence

If u come in as a foreigner

[knotty orchid]

bomb powder is crazy at 15 holy shit

[reef grove]

or just like pat downs, apparently i look very suspicious

[wet owl]

so even here people often mistake me for being a foreigner

[knotty orchid]

yeah I think I had an old black lady and she was nice, also I was like 11 so I doubt theyd assume anything

[knotty orchid]

ahhh nice

[wet owl]

what is my visa officer gonna ask me

litteraly

[knotty orchid]

get to flex on them, ‘oh im going to harvard’ lmao

[gleaming coral]

Nah

That'll agitate them

Don't mention harvard

[reef grove]

getting my green card was torture

[knotty orchid]

how ☠️

[wet owl]

I can't stop myself from laughing every time I saw that

*say

[wet owl]

why not

[reef grove]

they took like 5 things of my blood and got every single one of my fingerprints plus my palm print

[gleaming coral]

Cuz they'll be like look at this pretentious brat thinks she can just waltz in here and get a visa cuz she's going to harvard

Most of America hates Harvard

[wet owl]

LMAOOOOO

[knotty orchid]

no bro I mean like when u arrive in boston and u show ur visa its chill then

[wet owl]

they know tho

like on the I20

[gleaming coral]

Yeah obviously

[wet owl]

the visa officer sees it

[knotty orchid]

also if I go to the USA embassy in London to get a visa they wont be mad if I say the school im going to

[gleaming coral]

But nobody is gonna give u slack for going to Harvard

They'll make it harder on you

[knotty orchid]

im sure the embassy will be nicer

[gleaming coral]

Unless they went to Harvard or know someone who does

[reef grove]

most ppl just don’t know how to deal with visas/green cards from my experience

[wet owl]

they're not gonna be like congrats 💀

[gleaming coral]

Maybe if they're nice

[wet owl]

Im one of them

[reef grove]

like at the DMV i would whip out my green card and they would have to ask what it is

[gleaming coral]

Yeah get a lawyer if u can

[knotty orchid]

idk im imagining the embassy will be super nice in general

[wet owl]

I hope so cuz I take this shit personally lmao

[reef grove]

i just got one for my citizenship process

[gleaming coral]

I think so if ur American they'll be nice to you

[wet owl]

a lawyer for a student visa?

idk anyone who did that

[knotty orchid]

lets see, brits are knwon for being polite so

[reef grove]

u normally get a lawyer for green card and citizenship

[gleaming coral]

But remember American embassies deal w visas every day so they might be impatient

[reef grove]

from my experiences

[wet owl]

oh yeah

[knotty orchid]

nah thats just forms to fill in

[gleaming coral]

My dad did everything himself but yeah green cards laywers

[wet owl]

I hope he doesn't scream at me at least or smt

ive heard that some get mad easily

[gleaming coral]

@reef grove r u still a minor?

[reef grove]

i’m sure you’ll be fine

[reef grove]

yes

[wet owl]

isn't ur dad american?

[gleaming coral]

I know if ur parents get American citizenship and u r a minor u get it sutomatically

[gleaming coral]

Yeah but for my mom

[wet owl]

ohhh makes sense

[reef grove]

that’s what we’re hoping for, i turn 18 in 2 months tho so it’ll be super tight

[gleaming coral]

I also used to be in a green card

When I was born my parents didn't report it to the American consulate

So I had to get my citizenship kinda retroactively

Cuz I was born overseas

I have an American passport

[wet owl]

these stuff r more complex than rocket science

[gleaming coral]

I'm gonna get an American birth certificate in my bday

[reef grove]

i’m just happy i get a fast pass at european airports bc i’m in the EU lmao

[gleaming coral]

Lucky af

[wet owl]

can't relate

[wet owl]

US passport is great tho

[gleaming coral]

U don't have EU citizenship?

[knotty orchid]

[wet owl]

lmao

[wet owl]

💀

[gleaming coral]

Why r u in austria

[knotty orchid]

brexit was a scam that we couldnt pull out of like the vietnam war for you guys

[reef grove]

look on the bright side at least now your entire country can be a shithole, not just birmingham

[knotty orchid]

[gleaming coral]

Does it matter?

None of us from tumor or whatever

[knotty orchid]

[reef grove]

[reef grove]

[knotty orchid]

[obsidian nexus]

but i was so sick i fell asleep sitting up in my chair so idk

💀

[obsidian nexus]

do they track attendance and stuff

[molten glen]

Even tho I had strep with a doctors note none of my classes excused it, it just went against my allotted absences you get in the syllabus

[molten glen]

Ya

[obsidian nexus]

wtf u cant get excused for being sick????

smh

[molten glen]

Yep in the syllabus for my discrete math class it literally says you have 5 absences that you are allotted to use for things like trips, whatever whatever, minor illnesses

[obsidian nexus]

does strep fall into "minor" illness

😭

[molten glen]

And I emailed and was like hey Ik it isn’t like anything crazy but it’s still STREP THROAT is this a minor illness? And they said yes unless ur hospitalized it’s a minor illness

I was like K

[gleaming coral]

@misty remnant

What time is it today?

[reef grove]

you see i was gonna send the interview via carrier pigeon right

but as i was about to release it i realized i hadn’t hit my protein goal for the day

and it was just right there

[floral briar]

😭😭😭😭😭

[reef grove]

you would’ve done the same thing i did

[ornate sierra]

what’s the deadline for the subcommittee interview reports at harvard

[quiet badger]

3 minutes

[ornate sierra]

I remember reading that applicants are graded on a scale of 1-4

[quiet badger]

6

[ornate sierra]

my interviewer said the report was due on february 24th

But I think it depends with each applicant like there is some sort of priority

[quiet badger]

nah

its due in a minute

[gleaming coral]

Guys

I put I got third in a state comp in my life EC section

But not my like

Honors section

[quiet badger]

andd

[gleaming coral]

Should I send an update to colleges that it is in face an a honor?

How do I do that

[wet owl]

CONGRATS!

[wet owl]

well on the portal there's a place to do that but since it's pretty late I would also email them and explain it

someone correct me if im wrong

[gleaming coral]

Ok

[crystal shadow]

maybe the report was due by the 24th for your batch specifically

iirc its march 1st? for the last batch

[rustic path]

wow

so i didnt get interview

Huck Farvard

[crystal shadow]

someone on a2c made a post from the harvard lawsuit that showed the interview rating, rating of a 3 means get the review in by march 1 for rd

interview rating pertaining to how urgent they needed an interview from you

[rustic path]

is a lower rating bad?

[crystal shadow]

dw guys dont doom you can still get an interview request in the next few days, and even if you dont get an interview that doesn't necessarily mean that you're rejected

[crystal shadow]

no

[rustic path]

how rare is it to get into harvard without an interview

as a intl

[crystal shadow]

oh

intl

for domestics ive heard of people not getting interviews and getting in

not sure for intl

[rustic path]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

[crystal shadow]

1 means they need more information to reach a decision and they need the report asap

2 means more information would be very helpful, have the report in by subcommittee deadline

3 means have interview report in by dec 1 (rea) or march 1 (rd)

4 means based on materials available, the committee does not need additional information

make of that as you will, but there's def no reason to doom

[rustic path]

they better send me an interview in the next 3 days

[crystal shadow]

this is from a post on r/a2c from u/jacob1233219, the data is from the lawsuit i think

[rustic path]

what about yale

when is their deadline

[wet owl]

yeah apparently most interviewers rate people 3

[jagged nexus]

out of 3?

[haughty nova]

they waived my mid year report but ig its in line with their usual policy cause they say on the site: if you have predicted IB marks we dont need it

[crystal shadow]

iirc march 6th?

deadline for the report at least

[wet owl]

idk but she said 3 is like the average nothing special about the applicant

not bad tho

they tell them to avoid 1s

unless the student is one of a kind

[rustic path]

wdym avoid 1s

[jagged nexus]

I guess 1 is high

[wet owl]

like dont give them

yeah its the higest

[rustic path]

yeah i know

[wet owl]

highest

[rustic path]

but why avoid it

[wet owl]

unless the student is sm1 u can only see once ur life aka extraordinary

and charismatic and stuff

[jagged nexus]

I give highest "rating" all the time to force them to read my report. Because I put effort into that fucker and at the same time it's not my job to gatekeep, because there's always things that I don't see

[wet owl]

bcz not everyone deserves it ig unless they have a really great personality

[jagged nexus]

how the heck do you rate "personality" in 30 minutes

[wet owl]

I have no idea

someone who works there told me

im not making stuff up

but like

[jagged nexus]

maybe I should switch to interviewing for Harvard next year

[wet owl]

it can be obvious when sm1 is egoistic yk

or super awkward

[crystal shadow]

hi qhasti! which la croix is that

[rustic path]

they'll give me 1

[wet owl]

for ego yeah lmao

[rustic path]

no

for charisma

[wet owl]

ur a grad student?

[ruby spire]

No interview

Worrying!

[wet owl]

💀

[crystal shadow]

no need to doom

people get in without interviews too

[wet owl]

Chill guys u can't change anything

[rustic path]

if you knew me irl, you'd know i ooze charisma

[wet owl]

worrying won't change anything

[ruby spire]

No Duke interview. No Yale. No Harvard. Was I truly that unviable?

[balmy thorn]

Do rec letters matter if they’re written in gpt

[ruby spire]

What is the problem only application???

[rustic path]

yes

[wet owl]

?

[balmy thorn]

Bc one of mine is insane but it’s also obv gpt

[rustic path]

nope

[jagged nexus]

Pampelmousse

[rustic path]

they might think, the teacher doesnt care enough about the student to write him a letter

[balmy thorn]

I mean the letter is freaking elite

[wet owl]

ur a bomb of positivity

quite the opposite actually

[wet owl]

u shouldn't read urs before submission

[rustic path]

imo if you can obviously tell its gpt

i wouldnt count it

but if its ambiguios

[balmy thorn]

It’s alr submitted

[rustic path]

then its fine

[jagged nexus]

We got yale thread dooming @ Harvard

[wet owl]

unless u didn't waive ur right

[rustic path]

i try to be realist

[rustic path]

the teachers just slide us the lors

[balmy thorn]

I waived it’s already submitted

[crystal shadow]

why does princeton megathread not have doom like this

[wet owl]

they can't be us

[haughty nova]

the waiver simply says u cant see it in ur file

[wet owl]

mine didn't lmao

[balmy thorn]

Like he submitted it this week tho

But it’s insane

[haughty nova]

a teacher still has the right to show it to u

[wet owl]

but my mentor's was the best one he let me read after i got in

[rustic path]

i told him to write one

otherwise you wouldnt have gotten it

[jagged nexus]

I don't know, honestly. I used to think that it was because the kids who applied there aren't generally the dooming type? But I don't think that's the case

[balmy thorn]

Esp cuz he just submitted it

[haughty nova]

depends on if it has any specific examples of u

[wet owl]

they all agreed on the same traits but each of them mentioned smt different

which was cool

[rustic path]

in that case, most probably not

[haughty nova]

like some teachers in foreign countries may not be able to write well in english so its understandable

but if its generic it wont help u much

[crystal shadow]

i feel like HYP probably have a lot of cross applicants, im guessing its because princeton interviews are known to be availability based but harvard and yale are more unclear ?? 😭 🙏 ive never seen anyone doom over no princeton interview before

[balmy thorn]

It has a lot

It’s just written w very very flowery gpt

Very anecdote heavy tho

[crystal shadow]

you cant change what your teacher submitted

[jagged nexus]

like Rural ID was dooming in the Pirnceton thread before SCEA. Izapril has been dooming over no princeton interview, but... there's not much can actually be done

[crystal shadow]

dont worry about it

[haughty nova]

the rich tapestry projected by the vibrant student

underscores the need for his immersion in the class of 2029

[jagged nexus]

and Rural ID's moved on so I dunno. It's weird because it appears that the prime doomers didn't apply to Princeton?

[crystal shadow]

prime doomers LMAOO

[ruby spire]

I want a Harvard interview…

[solemn panther]

It’s bc Harvard is the number 1 school for ppl who chase prestige

Aka me

[ruby spire]

Someone just help me confirm my application is good!!

[solemn panther]

Same

[crystal shadow]

are you guys international or domestic

[rustic path]

not all

[solemn panther]

Day idfk of no Harvard interview

[rustic path]

i chase financial aid

[solemn panther]

Domestic

[balmy thorn]

Idk if it’s not in gpt my rec letter might be one of the best of all time…

But it is…

[rustic path]

intl

[balmy thorn]

Like idk if schools are gonna get mad abt that

[solemn panther]

Stanford? MIT? Yale?

[balmy thorn]

Or if it’s gonna positively impact

[rustic path]

stanford and yale

[balmy thorn]

I need it to positively impact

[crystal shadow]

there is nothing you can do about it anyways so its not worth it to worry imo

[balmy thorn]

Ughhhh

[solemn panther]

Why submit a rec now?

[haughty nova]

im going to tell u this tho, i had 3 rec letters to choose from (yes i asked 3 teachers) and the one that was written with chatgpt was the one i didnt send, but this varies amongst students

[crystal shadow]

the likelihood is that they will read it like any other rec letter and see the contents for what it is, colleges know teachers are super busy

[rustic path]

im gonna write the putnam

[solemn panther]

How did u know tho

[balmy thorn]

Okay yayyyyy

[rustic path]

so i can transfer to harvard

[haughty nova]

my counselor read them

and advised me

[solemn panther]

Oh

wtf

[haughty nova]

i personally havent read them

[solemn panther]

My counselor doesn’t give af

[ruby spire]

Like wtf?? No interview

[haughty nova]

nah i love my counselor. shes amazing

once i get in somewhere in rd im taking out for free drinks and food

[solemn panther]

Do u go to a private or small school

[haughty nova]

private on scholarship

[solemn panther]

Oh makes sense

[haughty nova]

but the ratio of advisor to kids is still high

[solemn panther]

Yea I go to a massive public school my counselors do not have the time to dedicate that kind of energy to every student

[haughty nova]

we are around 220 students in IB and have 4 counselors (at least compared to other priv schools in the country)

idk how its like in the us

[solemn panther]

We have 11 for 3600 kids

😭

[haughty nova]

oh

nvm

[rustic path]

you mean ratio of kids to advisors

[haughty nova]

each advisor handles ~55 kids

but not every kid gets equal attention, it depends on ur personal initiative and interest as well

[solemn panther]

Oh

[haughty nova]

like i was always there in our meetings, would reply and do tasks fast

so my counselor and i respected each other from the beginning

i remember a few days before ed deadline, me and 2 of my friends would get in evening 10 pm calls with our counsellor (same one) cause when we were in school she had to deal with all the kids that didnt know what they were doing and were last minute, and she couldnt see our essays then

[crystal shadow]

oh real i met with my school's counselor on a saturday before the due date 😭

[gleaming coral]

what the hell happened here

[ornate garden]

wait is there slow mod here

oh no there’s not

[obsidian nexus]

apparently if you give too many 1's they stop taking your region seriously for harvard

source is our harvard regional interviewing chair

which is crazy but like ok 😭 🙏

[fleet thicket]

rec letters only matter if they’re bad

[obsidian nexus]

LMAO

[fleet thicket]

well a bad rec letter tells you so much more than a good one

poor judgement and poor character-why would you choose someone to write you a rec if you don’t think they would write you a stellar one?

everyone has good recs, so if someone has a bad one it’s a red flag

[obsidian nexus]

yeah i agree with you it's just funny

[misty remnant]

in 1 hr + 12 mins

[gleaming coral]

Hello

[misty remnant]

hi

im scared

LMAOOA

[gleaming coral]

Omg I came to this chat right when u pinged me

[misty remnant]

shes v nice tho

real

[gleaming coral]

Anna

Do you think Abt other stuff

Like friendships

Video games

Movies?

[misty remnant]

no i havent been on discord

since 7 am

dw

[gleaming coral]

Ok

Just

Have a life

[gleaming coral]

I didn't get to read my recs

Pretty sure they r good tho

[misty remnant]

@rustic path hi

[gleaming coral]

Nooo

He needs to sleep

[fleet thicket]

most people don’t

i might ask my teachers

bro i wanna read my admissions file lol

[gleaming coral]

Hopefully my teachers put in a good word

I asked the ones who liked me

[fleet thicket]

one of my rec writers went to harvard

so maybe harvard will like that

[gleaming coral]

Idk anybody who has even been to an ivy

Every teacher ik has gone to the same school

[jagged nexus]

no wonder they have so much trouble finding enough interviewers

[obsidian nexus]

LMAOOOOO

it's wild to me

the chairs also fiddle with the scores that the interviewers give 😭 🙏

anyway

[jagged nexus]

I mean, they're free to do that with mine. I don't care as long as someone reads my report. Besides, I can also choose to submit in such a way that the chairs cannot see my report

[obsidian nexus]

interesting makes sense

[jagged nexus]

I know when I rate someone near top and write a mid report because that's all I've got

they never said I can't do that, and again, it's not my job to gatekeep because I don't have all the information, but I will do my best to make sure the AO gets my side of things

the emphasis is on "warm and engaging conversation". it's the first thing they say along with "you're an ambassador for Princeton"

the one kid I interviewed who got in was one of the least memorable interviews for me 🤷

[molten glen]

Interesting, because the way my Harvard interviewer and AO seemed to describe is my interview report went directly to them, no chairs involved? Lol

Maybe it works differently for huge areas like yours and maybe it works that way bc there are such an influx, or maybe ur regional chair is just a bitch lowk

[obsidian nexus]

probably different areas since bay area has such a huge operation

[gleaming coral]

youngnerd is a bay kid?

[molten glen]

no

[obsidian nexus]

im the bay kid

💀

[gleaming coral]

i'm sorry broskie

[obsidian nexus]

ur from [] right @molten glen

[molten glen]

doxx much

[gleaming coral]

where in []?

[molten glen]

Lol im jk youtiao

[misty remnant]

hi blue

im back

omfg

[obsidian nexus]

LMAO just in case

[gleaming coral]

like western?

cuz my fam is from there

[misty remnant]

okay actually i havent prepared for this interview 💀 its fine

harvard ASS

[molten glen]

dm me blue

[misty remnant]

im gonna fail it & waste their time

[obsidian nexus]

its okay just be a generally nice person

[misty remnant]

real

[fleet thicket]

u dont rlly need to prepare anything other than why harvard

[obsidian nexus]

yeah the interview is about yourself, you already know yourself fr

[fleet thicket]

type shii

[gleaming coral]

yeah but you wanna present urself in the best light

that means shedding ur undesirable attributes

like asianess

💀

[obsidian nexus]

cant tell if this is satire

but saying asianess is an undesirable attribute is objectively wrong

[molten glen]

dang that's crazy get rid of that

[misty remnant]

WHAT

[gleaming coral]

its a joke

omg i'm fucking asian

[misty remnant]

no shes a 44 year old white woman

she prolly gonna eat it up

[obsidian nexus]

okay good mb 😭 💀

[obsidian nexus]

😭

[gleaming coral]

i was making a joke

about the lawsuit

[misty remnant]

lemme think

my why harvard is generic but uh i dont think it matter sthat much rightt

i talk ab generic communiyy

but like

one speicifc thing

idk

[obsidian nexus]

its fine tbh

[misty remnant]

idc anymore

[obsidian nexus]

my why harvard was decent

[gleaming coral]

say you like how small the undergraduate class is, that you will be able to know everyoe more intimately than if you went to a big state uni

[obsidian nexus]

after i said it my AO stopped to write for like 10 seconds and said sorry i need to capture this properly i like how you said that

😭 🙏

[molten glen]

I mean, that isn't unique to harvard tho

[gleaming coral]

doesn't mean its not smthn u like about it

[obsidian nexus]

hi plort!

[solemn panther]

Day 54 of no Harvard interview
