#Harvard University (2024-2025)
1 messages · Page 55 of 1
The lecture by Sandel was cool everything else was boring, repetitive, not necessary
the stigmas, work aspect of it, esports at the olympics in 2026
how i used it to create a career
that makes sense
it was more like that rather than “i play video games for fun :D”
😭 unfortunate
Lol
the interviewer seemed really into it
The mysticism devolves into getting cooked in academics quickly once u get here
said it had much better completion rates than the other stuff you guys were required to do
i think personally it very much depends on how you go about introducing yourself
the emojis in ur nickname are tweaking me out
i started mit, stanford, and princeton with a similar direction about introducing myself and what i did
depends on the interviewer. I like random
princeton interviewer was the only one who really really leaned into it
then again it is inherently random
someone (aster) told me harvard academics were anecdotally worse than yale
as in harder
especially if its something kinda unconventional
like, I just got home from a 2 hour completely random conversation that went from security -> government -> computers -> mainframes -> the technology when we were kids -> college -> etc. etc.
I’m like 2 PSets away from crashing out
ah makes sense ig
Of my friends tho we all get cooked daily

Except this one dude who is an absolute BEAST
also included was swimming, running, pet cats/dogs, health pet weights.... it's just free association
I fully expect him to be like a Nobel prize winner
defo not
oh sorry i meant like
the people youngnerd's talking about being cooked 💀
i wonder how much difficulty varies from department to department
there are some departments where the professors are offended if someone gets an exam 100% correct. They're happy if the mean is a 40
💀
i was looking at those released yale stats of % As given by department
and unfortunately the two majors i'm thinking of doubling in are at the bottom of that table
what do you mean same type of conversation?
Most of us I think 1 dude is a math major
I think both would make an interesting report, just depends on the skill and knowledge of the interviewer
I know someone concentrating in government who goes to a bar every night and has a 4.0 
💀
that's because they need to to survive....
nah bc he told me he was so tired of having to do 3 RESPONSE QUESTIONS A WEEK shheshdhheeuieieakajshjswjjaajsjsjs
I mean..... I wouldn't overthink the interview
If anything, it's good practice for future interviews, but we know that you're teenagers
Don’t prepare for the interview just be yourself and it will fr work out
unless you interview with qhasti, blud is definitely asking you to explain to him the difference between an ester and ether 
alright well
please tell me it's not engineering
someone told me that they got 27 IVs. turns out he was talking about pokemon stats not unis 😭
cooked
please name all 27 ivies
Interesting, I wonder why?
Still no interviews 💔
Good luck~!
thank u but I think I'm cooked
how it go
How long was it?
a little over an hour
Nice!
me too!
twins!
what happened bluddy'
i think i had a pretty strong start
but i'm just AWKWARD so i think i fumbled at the end
when did u get ur interview + area?
i got it literally like, earlier this week. in fl 
apparently everyone and their mother here is applying to harvard so i barely got an interview
barely got an interview?
i didnt get one at all
theyre probably just overloaded tbh
wsg
what does getting an ao interview mean
im getting like
general stuff from reddit
but theres only been like 3 posts i saw
if you get one it's a good sign, but it's not a guarantee of admission. If you don't get one, it's not a sign of rejection either. As something that's out of your control, I wouldn't worry about it
ngl
those interviews seemed like a hassle
kinda nice publics dont do em
quick and straightfoward process, no mumbo jumbo between
yes, she didnt go to harvard
you can if your first one is in clear violation of interviewer policy
you can contact the office or your regional interviewing chair
i didnt do that, they just offered the second one
mine was just unenjoyable, i didnt report it
yes my 2nd one was with an AO
bro deleted the message
lmao np
what if harvard disappears
LOL what homie
what would you do
yeah 💀 💀
like imagine infinite bacon but no bacon
AOs dont
or no bacon which no bacon
havard cs?
i mean i have no clue
yes
man that sounds fun
it’s not

cs in a public big10 school?
I’m 2 PSets away from total crash out
yeah bruh she was like any questions at harvard i asked her what her favorite tradition at harvard was or something and she was like i didnt go to harvard
truely crashout worthy
its a football league
Yuh
big10 public schools
and the worst of them at football this season is my college
66-0 against IU
1-11 record
LMAO
Purdue!!
we'll see
yea a fun place for alot of nerds
I should know that shit I’m from the rural south football is king there LMAOO I just like basketball better
this is a w take
purdue a basketball school
Ya fr
we are horrible at football
Did that Asian dude go to the draft or is he still there?
we beat ucla 76 to 66
they make uh boilers for trains and suck
its an old job
no more use
but we are a train themed school
with 3 mascots
purdue pete, the boilermaker special, and the world's biggest drum
im not sure
i havent kept up with the sports
ive been getting my ass kicked by classes
fun part of public school
is the big ass school size
March madness though!
we shall see how purdue does
will i have to submit the ap scores i take this year?
i said that i was going to take the tests on my application but like
i wanna know how much i need to cook on them and if ill get rescinded if i do terribly 💀
I don't think they care that much
do you have a source or nah
Each school has standards for what placement AP gets you. At least in my experience, it wasn't worth that much in terms of replacing course credits, it's more for skipping classes.
Just look it up for Harvard
well i mean harvard isnt super big on letting you skip classes with aps from what ive heard
so i feel they would look at my scores as less of a "get out of this class" and more of a measure of my ability
so if i do poorly it reflects poorly on me
and i wanna know how poorly i can do lol
on the harvard website im p sure its just saying you wont be able to get out of any classes lol
i wanna know if they ask for my scores 🤷
Congrats on harvard man :)
They wont rescind you for doing poorly on aps
it's just missed opportunity to skip courses at the end of the say
Failing a class is a different story though
you can really only skip like basic math + language
so either of those consider not skipping
icic
also the new coop x rhone collab is kinda mid icl
i was excited but then all of the collection is just grey and white lol
interviews are still going out, i received my email a few hours ago.
they can do zoom
All of mine were on Zoom, except Harvard, but that was due to some extreme coincidences
Dyk anyone who got in from mass without an interview
Considering there’s a lot of applicants from mass
Mass?
Massachusetts
im from a different state
Altho I do know quite a few people here who are from Massachusetts, it's not really a common thing to go around asking "did you get an interview to get in?"
were they still in your area or no
no
o i see
so if they wanted to give you an interview they would
like it can't be because of location
so no interview means reject/waitlist
who said that-
harvard
where
that sounds more like Princeton that Harvard
Definitely is Princeton
how terrible would my app had to be to not receive an interview......
harvard doesn't do that
they prescreen
yale interviewed 20% last year, so it's probable that harvard probably interviews that percentage as well
Yale did 15% and Harvard defo does way more
i c i c
this is not true lol
For internationals is practically impossible to get in without and interview tho
i thought it was US CS/Data
welp i havent gotten an interview yet
do they prescreen, cause if they do idk why i havent gotten one
least egotistical a2cer
i got into yale dawg
im not tryna brag about getting in, just getting an interview
i mean, yale is less selective than harvard though
it's like comparing alabama to georgia tech
i'm trying to rage bait the egotistical kid bro
😦
no one is more prone to rage bait than college prefrosh and freshman
you would be surprised what people say in here 100% genuinely
how do john harvard's boots taste
jk i read what u said afterwards
like leather
i'm not sure if they had leather back in the day tho
idt cows were invented yet
so uh is it prescreen or not
alabama is better!
it is
idk don't stress abt it
u alr got yale
oop welp its gonna be ok
I’m p sure it’s availability for domestic for Harv
that's cuz ur an autoadmit
ik someone in the current class is from cambridge and they dont do interviews in cambridge, if that counts
oh when they say that i thought they don’t do on campus interviews
oh maybe thats it
idk, the official wording is "It is not possible to request an interview and we are not able to conduct interviews in Cambridge"
i see
according to their website they try to interview as many people as possible, based in part on availability
i did one
depending on how many alumni/applicants are in your region it can take longer
i think harvard considers me intl so it’s purely prescreen for me
but thats fine tbh it is harvard
i dont think harvard has officially said it prescreens anywhere, has it?
like ive heard it on this server but ive yet to see an actual source
they said smth about “more info needed”
and anecdotally most students i’ve talked to had an interview
i feel like thats just bc they really do try to interview most ppl
so obviously most ppl that got in will have also gotten an interview
ah i see
the way i see it not a lot of people get in w/o interviews bc not a lot of people dont get interviews lol
perhaps the stars just didn’t align
well all the alumni are volunteers that can choose how many ppl they interview
maybe there weren't a lot of interviewers, the schedules didnt align, there were too many applicants, or whatever
besides you might still get an interview lol
dont count one out until you see the status update lmao
nah waiting for these interviews that might pop out anytime is lowkey worse than waiting for the decisions themselves tbh
so it’s easier for me to assume it’s just over until the 27th
lmao thats so real
i just resigned myself to the reject
and expose the corruption that goes into college admissions? never haha
corruption exists everywhere if you're looking for it. Doesn't mean that there is
Its a part of human nature one could argue
One domino in a team is needed to spark a cycle of corruption
And perhaps it is the reason why great ideas oftentimes falter in the long term
Then again in college admissions I doubt I would call it corruption
At the end of the day, many of these colleges are private entities,
And disregarding their committment to certain terms to recieve some government funding, they have quite some reign to decide who to admit
Their practices may not be fair or ethical, but as an institution that answers to its board, its hard to view it as corruption its self
What’s deadline for it to be considered
If u know
Like what r they doing from now till March 27
Like 3.5 weeks
It probably means that the first and second readings have finished.
So your letter might make it to committee if your application has made it to committee.
I honestly can't know since I'm a student as well.
It certainly can't hurt you, but what my counsellor says is that many times less is more.
what do you mean by this
corruption is everywhere, but theres also no corruption?
im confused haha
i suppose it depends on your definition of corruption, but to me, people that get in due to an unfair advantage is corruption
jeffrey selingo has a great book abt it, who gets in and why, it goes over a lot of shady business that colleges (including harvard) partake in
looking at the varsity blues scandal and frequent complaints of much of the "dean's list" admits being the children of donors/legacies, i think there are lots of hidden variables that influence one's admission
but why is it corruption
harvard does not answer to the public
if it was a public institution I would 100% agree
But theoretically as long as it funds its self and remains within the law, harvard, and any private university can make choices
choices that may not not be fair
Although on the surface level it would appear that meritocracy would be the best approach for unis and companies since you get the best candidate
But then again, the best candidate for example might cause trouble (eg if you have a very intelligent individual that may be fixated with one political ideology and create trouble on campus)
So it might not be in your best interest to admit the candidate with the most merit
Same goes with admissions. Admitting a child of a donor may deprive the institution of some academic value, but the investment made by the donor allows the institution to invest in tens of other kids that will bring that value
i can agree with that in theory, undoubtedly harvard (and other universities) need full payers to keep their college running, but what many of these people are doing to ensure their child gets into a good school is actually illegal. parents in the varsity blues scandal were charged with bribery, mail fraud, etc
regardless of being public/private, you cant discriminate against applicants or accept bribes
from what ive read, at least
Yes that is true. Varsity blues was a discrace because you had many fraud phenomena.
The thing that especially touched me with the scandal was the fake portrayal of SEN Kids (specialized education needs)
Because when these systems are abused by preppy rich kids, the kids that actually suffer from physical/learning disabilities face the consequences because their credibility might come in question.
In those cases as an individual, I would much rather a university be transparent with its preference to sideline certain academic requirements to admit high interest candidates (legacies, etc) instead of trying to fraudulently fulfil those requirements.
As bad as it sounds, it is more honest, and more humane than having photoshopped pictures of athletes or other proctors taking a test.
can we move on from this convo lol
yessir
any reason why? just like generally a sore subject or?
its an important convo to have haha
it’s all reasonable opinion but a lot of it is theoretical and involves schools other than harvard and we try to keep the megathreads as streamlined as possible
especially around prime admissions season in march lol
if you want to continue you can take it to lounge chat and you should be fine!!
thanks man
guys
I had my interview on sunday
and now a SENIOR admissions officer just asked to meet with me
is . is this good or normal
good !!!
so it's NOT normal
nope its a good sign
guys I need to confess
I submitted my application so last minute I don't even know what's on it
I'm almost SCARED to reread my supplemental essay(s)
IM CRYING,??
Harvard I love you, why do you have to be like this 
@eager sinew how does it feel to be known as harvard kace
great
since when does harvard prescreen
everyone ik got an interview request like a day after applying
bro goes to exeter
It’s like how royalty have titles
But instead of being called king or whatever you’re called by your hypsm title
I got an interview request literally last week 💔
they screened the hell out of me
Based on who got an interview here I agree lowkey lol
if youre going to make claims regarding interviews please give evidence from the school or dont say it at all
fr
but there’s no evidence
and there’s no harm is saying what u think is anecdotally true
well yes there is lmao
i mean as long as u say it’s based on that
based on what
anecdotal evidence
its still going to confuse people and 99% of the time what people think is anecdotal evidence is really just a rush to assumption
true
oh lmao yea
there was someone that deleted their message
and they said "they only prescreen for intls"
thats why i responded with that LMAO seems like they never had a source i guess
yea no i deleted it so there wouldnt be misinfo spreading lmfao
fire
Typical
getting an interview isnt typical lol
good
this felt like shade
"Applicants are assigned interviews at the discretion of the Admissions Committee, based, in part, on availability of alumni in your local area."
i agree don’t be salty you didn’t get one but someone else did, we’re p sure it’s random
When I say “here” I mean my school. I did get an interview and had it abt 2 weeks ago for what it’s worth. But ik kids with 3.5s and 3.7s that applied as a joke that got one
people say they apply as a joke but idk the humor in spending extra time doing essays + paying ~$70 to submit an app
there has to be something about them that warrants an interview being given
i know people actively at harvard with below 3.8 gpa's
If I wanted to provide an update for my application, should I just type it up in a google doc and upload a pdf to the portal?
yes
Cool cool
harvard never called me :(((
they said they would sometime in february </3
maybe i missed it
check ur voicemails if u haven’t
i don’t think i’ve ever gotten a voicemail in my life lol, i wouldn’t even know where to check on my phone
i’m not seeing any though 😞
what were they gonna call you about
here they go again with their unfulfilled promises 😊
Do u think Harvard appreciates a straightforward essay style
I write very straightforward
I don’t waffle with all the flowery language n shit
I get the information they need to HEAR
idk it was like a current student would call me
talk abt harvard ig
lmao as long as it’s interesting i think it’s fine
I hope
I just hate flowery and over descriptive essays it’s so pretentious like chill pls
I can and do write those it just feels SO disingenuous to write that way like I’m embellishing every living moment in the essay. Not authentic at all
did u ever get a personalized email
cus ian did not email my ass
Is this an unpopular statement
Why are you thinking about it now
There's no point
What will happen will happen
Why are you even wondering
Don't wonder
people’s tastes are different lol
as long as it’s interesting it should be fine 🤷♂️
I think you should take this to #📝-essays
If it comes across as YOUR genuine writing style it works great
they want to see who you are, and if you’re direct then be direct
how would i send an update on a new award i got. I feel like submitting a whole document is too much for just one award. should i email them?
write it in a document and submit it as a pdf
Does Harvard weight interviews a lot?
Probably similar to how they weight supplementals
But less than everything else
Cool alright
I mean maybe a little less than supplementals actually
But it’s part of the “subjective” parts of the application which is less than ur ECs/Stats
my interviewer said interviews were just to make sure the applicant had a pulse
i wouldn’t worry abt it man
mine straight up told me to quit resume padding and then watched me choke on apple cider for 5 minutes
💀 ?
a lot of people write good essays but aren’t normal
they interview u to make sure ur normal 💀💀
or they just straight up lie in them 💀
Harvard prescreens tho? And their interview report is very thorough like 5 pages
do you have a source for any of that
on the official website all it says is that interviews are “based, in part, on availability”
In the Harvard lawsuit docs they had given applicants a # based on interview priority
1-4 1 being highest
If you read further on the website tho it’s basically Yales
They say most ppl don’t need one so if we need more info we’ll reach out
that’s strange, the rhetoric i’ve heard was that they try to get everyone an interview
Also idr where the interview doc was but u can find the report template on Reddit
Where did u hear this
“In most cases, the Admissions Committee has sufficient information in the student’s application materials to reach an admissions decision. If the Committee would like more information about a student or has questions about any application materials, someone may reach out to schedule an interview.”
my harvard interviewer + one of the pages they use to find harvard alumni to interview ppl
i think that’s specifically for AO interviews tho? unless i’m reading it wrong
Idk it was under alumni interviews
strange, yeah you’re prolly right
i feel like they purposefully word it weirdly
just to mess with poor high school seniors 😞
I agree
Above comes from lawsuit docs
Trying to understand the significance of numbers will lead u nowhere tho
yeah, esp when it actually does matter in part on availability lol
like sometimes schedules collide or there’s not even alumni or whatever
i don’t think having a late interview necessarily means you’re like, a 3 or whatever
But this is pre Covid so less applicants it COULD be
That it’s changed now
But Yale is even more selective
yeah, it also doesn’t have like, percents of which category applicants fall under
maybe only like 10% of ppl are 4s
yeah fs
Oh no I want the opposite, my interviewer was unbelievably positive at the end 😭
It's alright I'll make it maybe
I'm not sure how interviews work for this school lol
my friend who got gt stamps cs oos and ut turing and yale rea didn't get an interview
it's weird
I think it's partially availability and if you don't suck I don't think it's that deep in regards to getting an interview or not
so iconic
absolutely they purposely word it non-concretely
Someone on Reddit said likely letters come today
porque still worrying about interviews
is it a trustworthy source or some random 💔
The amount of people around me worrying about getting a likely letter is wild 💀
Fr I get that
That's wild lol
I was hoping for a second interview but I think it's too late
lmfao ikr
you dont need a second interview lol
i didnt get one at least
it's a bit of a rare thing
didn't even know it could happen until the ao reached out wanting to talk to me 
you have a Harvard likely?
wait nvm
mb
Yeah definitely rare
can you imagine
When?
Most ppl don’t get second interviews
It’s like for v borderline
Most ppl don’t need one who get in
that's speculation
did more research and found it could be for a million different reasons
literally the start of this month
But still vast majority of admits don’t get one
it's rare 💜
Yea so don’t worry guys
My school send like 3ppl to Harvard each yr and none of them got second interviews
i dont think anyone was worrying LMAO
if anything im the worried one bc i have to go through this interview process again
@blazing kite I didn’t even get first one and I’m mass
idk what to tell u sry 💔
the first was an alumni interview w someone from a neighboring city in fl, and this second one is literally with an ao at harvard rn
also my school is not a feeder at all we can barely get into our state schools bro
trinity or smt?
No
so many ppl here got second interviews here
kind of wild
i can count like 5 ppl
How I felt about Columbia likelies yesterday lol
Real lmao
Hāfó Dàxué
Anyone gotten Harvard likely yet
No
someone on Reddit said last years were at 7:23 pm bru
the likelies are digital??
theres probably so little of them that the AOs send them out manually
i highly doubt everyone got them at 7:30
status update
just like the normal ones
but earlier
ok interesting
oh wait so it’s not an email?
why’d u delete that lmao
who deleted
someone wrote a dm that on Reddit someone said their friend got a likely at 7
Oh lol. He seemed kind of suspicious
Surely Harvard still wants us
Definitely
Trying not to think of the 54,000 applicant count number
i don’t think they’re releasing any stats until rd comes out
Dang 54k?
Yeah it's kinda bonkers
thats highly unlikely
they had 57k two years ago and 54k last year
and they reintroduced test requirements this year
theyre not going to see a 20% uptick in applicants in one year
Spike was NOT that big
the 2007 birthrate was not high enough for an extra 10k people to apply to a highly-selective school that requires test scores
did any likelies even come out today lmaooooooo
my goat
dootiao @ davis
yeah mine
social security number NOW
123456789
thanks it worked
you’re going to take my place now
attend harvard as kazwithknives
live a double life
can i have ur credit card number
i wanna buy discounted harvard merch
nah you gotta ask the one that actually works for the coop
i think that’s kace
he gets way more of a discount than me
ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ
aw rats
aw rats indeed 😞
Harvard students get a discount + if u sign up with the coop to be a member you’ll also get a discount on top of that
It’s a pretty good discount
I got like a $115 pair of shorts for like $45
a pair of shorts selling for 115 in the first place is wild
these better be long shorts
how much does the little elephant plushie with the harvard shirt on in the bookstore cost 💔
they got an elepahtn??
Ngl that's really cute
WHAAAAT
aren't those just longs
if u can find one for purchase in the bookstore i will personally come fetch it from you
I WANT HIM
he’s not on the online store ☹️
they have this lovely fellow though
DetailsSize: 8" TallFeaturing Harvard 'A-Litigator' Tee shirtOfficially licensed
he's visciously green
i love going to a red school bc i can just own this and nobody will question it
what is this website
he's so cuteeee
who the hell is tim 😭
on skibidi im getting into harvard
Twue
I WILL get into Harvard 💖💖💖
you will
Thank you lava ece @ Princeton
I’m getting into Princeton too 😼😼
Lowkey I think we might be
But Harvard isn’t really on my radar anymore unless they want to surprise me by changing my life lol
what’s datamatch
its a student run matchmaking thing 💀
you fill out a survey then they pair up ppl on feb 14th using their "top secret algorithm"
awww that’s kinda cute
i wanna do it now but i don’t wanna wait an entire year lol
wait they pair ppl up with colleges or other ppl?
yea i think it opens like a week for valentine's day
other ppl
ohhhh icic
i also heard that through the college they offer like free food at local restaraunts so u can meet up w them there
nvm then there’s no way i’m dating an a2cer equivalent
i’m already exhausting enough
imagine the first date and y’all compare stats 💀💀💀
that'd be fun
eh i feel like it would create an imbalance super early on where one person would feel “below” another bc their gpa is lower or their test scores are worse or whatever
with my current bf, i don’t think i told him my stats until like a couple months in
and he’s not applying to college this year so it’s not like we’re in direct “competition” yk
is he taking a gap year
nah he’s a junior lol
now that i think about it i agree
nice
i like being academic rivals, but i think there needs to be existing foundation before that can happen right
enemies to lovers is so peak
but it is very easy to just be summed up as a number right off the bat, which isn’t the key to a healthy relationship
agreed
i can confirm- out of all the kdramas i watch those are peak fr
lmaoooo
if you like books i’d recommend “i hope this doesn’t find you”
i’m not rlly a romance reader but it was so good
peak academic rivals to lovers
fs
need to get out the college admissions mindset
😭
Love ain't stats
“we sincerely regret to inform you that you have not been selected to be my next boyfriend. there were many qualified candidates this year, with a limited amount of spots. if you would like to join the waitlist…”
fr i have the best test strats and essay tips
that i can give him
gotta make sure he doesn’t make the mistakes that i did 🙏
I would do this but he doesn’t even want to apply US
Smh
that’s so real lol
Lowkey pmo
mine is currently in his “shotgun every single t20” phase and i’m trying to gently talk him out of it 💀
he showed me his college list and deadass it was like 20 insane reaches, 1 target, 1 safety
Oh lord
i asked him if he wanted to spend 25 hours a day writing supplementals lmao
i had my commonapp essay pretty much done by senior year and it was still the most stressful time of my life
i applied to like 13ish colleges, 3 of which were ucs tho
with like a 8/3/2 split on reach, target, safety
NO THATS SO ME
MEEE but no safety
it was skewed bc i could only apply private with harvard REA, i had more safeties in rd
my safety was 20% acceptance rate
i had direct admission to one of my safeties 💀
i thought i was pushing the definition of safety with like the ohio state, uwash, and american
those were all like 40-50%
College Board tried to tell me that William & Mary was a safety lol
OSU is definitely a safety though, especially in-state
light work
lmaoooo
i’ve had collegevine tell me georgetown and ut austin are targets 💀
gyatt
??
that's going to end up being me next year
except like 14 reaches 4 targets and 2 safeties
No way bro
collegevine gives you such an ego boost it’s crazy
they calculated like a 35% chance for harvard for me 💀
I mean.....
they wrong
it was a 100% for u
pff hardly
do u happen to be fg or li and considering fyre pre-orientation
idk if theyve told yall info abt that or not
hi gang
lol i think i got like ~5% yale (and i go there) lmfao
tbh i think it's just bad at predicting internationals on non-us curricula
yep esp if u don't take APs
Chatgpt was kinda right about me tbh
i am neither
bro has ulterior motives
It gave me a 33% for yale and 9% for UNC 💀
wait thats so cute
Yeah it predicted my yale deferral lol
chatgpt said I'm getting rejected everywhere 😭 state schools included
do NOT trust chatgpt
Send link
Chatgpt is helping me cope
i cant tell you about college stuff but i know that chatgpt always marks my papers at around 90-100% and they are always overmarked
its innacurate
Try deepseek it's more brutal
Ooh thanks
Can someone send that website link lol
I think it's just college vine
Deepseek started my roast by saying "So you're still in high school?" 💀
it pretty much just makes up numbers lol
no but why has chat gpt predicted all my results correct so far
and ive gotten 10+ decisions back
drop the prompt 💔
we couldve had an a2fyrefamily
Can you share your prompt
It depends what you feed it
I need real chatgpt but not evil enough to tell me that I'll only get into my safeties 💔
It told me 85% chance at yale after deferral and my loci
But when I explained how hard it is to get in it said 15%
it's too late for it but .... i want to test it's theories......
Is this something we should allow? It's like portal chanceme
this makes sense, at a certain level most of the applicants are quite similar in quality and it comes down to personality/fit/lottery
chatgpt feeds my delusions lol
yea sure one sec
Here is my entire common app application. I will provide a list of schools. Pretend to be an admissions officer, be brutally honest and predict my admissions results:
Schools:
List schools…
COMMON APP:
Copy and paste entire common app
I literally copy pasted my exact common app
college vine said I have a 9% chance of getting in and chatgpt said I have a 75% chance
Lowkey think ab it like this
if it says u have a 35% chance of getting into a top school that could totally be true
bc ur still more likely to be rejected
Collegevine said Princeton is a target…
OMG ME TOO WHAT IS UP WITH THAT
Bs
THATS SO WEIRD
Yeah it’s really weird lol
like bruh ain’t nobody believing u 😭😭😭
it’s bc it uses test scores and gpa and if u have good stats it will say that
despite the fact that most ppl applying have good stats
Collegevine cooked asl
ChatGPT is actually good for chancing to a certain point
Like T10 it’s very hard to predict bc of how much fit is factored in
It’s very pessimistic about me lol
It said my essays and recs were great though idk
Yeah same gang☠️
Tbf my umich chances turned out to be pretty accurate
did you not waive your rights on your recs?
2 of my 4 recs sent them to me. I don’t have 1 teacher rec or my counselor rec tho
ah icic
i wish i could see what my rec letters said
i wonder how much colleges actually care abt whether you waive your rights or not
i think thats just to keep them in the clear if u demand them or smth
i think even if u waive, ur teachers can show them to u
if they want to ofc
yeah my school policy is that students aren’t allowed to see rec letters at all
You waive your right to get them from the school
teachers won’t write for you unless you waive your rights
Nothing keeps the teachers from showing them to you if they wanted to
The problem is the reputational damage on a per teacher basis
yeah i forgot that it was my school that was weird abt it
once you graduate from the school they could show you perhaps
it depends, sometimes internal policies are a bit flexible
depends on the extent to which ur school enforces that
either way i wouldnt want to see my letters if i was not accepted
bc that might cause a conflict
or a blame game or whatever
pff yeah
but if all goes well i would be curious
all I know is my counsellor has read both letters and she told me "they do me justice"
yeah my counselor gave me like a tldr of what my rec letters said in vague terms
they were really sweet
i think many kids would be worried if they are in large classes, but the teachers I asked are both in classes of 9 students
so they KNOW me really well, given that im basically forced to participate given the size and length of the class
yeah no i’m in a graduating class of <25 so all my teachers know me very well
for better or for worse 💀
i personally love it cause ive had some great convos which my teachers and have shared alot of my insights which makes for good anecdotes
also we work really closely
small classes are the best
They are for most ppl
unless u dont like the course, then its hell
I know one kid in our global politics class that was basically forced to choose it due to a scheduling conflict
Either way 2 years ago I was in a class of 26 ppl and I can tell the difference & really appreciate it
he was a chinese transfer student so he really struggled to learn french and english at the same time so all the teacher did was yell at us 💀
oh. yell like in a mean way?
or in a passionate i want to help u way but thats how i express myself
like yell at us yell at us 💀
bc we didn’t remember the avoir conjugations
he got fired 😭🙏 my current one is very nice, he also yells but in a fun way
i think the worst thing in my school is the modern greek lit IB class. basically everyone that does IB diploma and is greek takes it so the diploma is recognized in the country but no one rlly cares about literature, and the teacher knows this and has to teach uninterested kids, and the one I have is retiring this year and she was frank about how this sucks
and she likes to remind us on how we suck in using our own mother tongue..
bro what are these classes, greek lit and global politics
it’s like ur already in college
ib courses basically
my school just has like english math science 💀
college-like courses
ib sounds so much more fun than ap
on one hand id like to do that cause i would get a top grade for less effort
but on the other hand ib is interesting
sometimes i bang my head against the wall
but ive actually learned some skills that will make my freshman year more smooth
course rigor 🔥🔥🔥
we gettin the common data set priorities in order w this one
the only AP that is offered here anyway is calc BC, and no one teaches it, u just register to take the exam if ur good
and me & math have a complicated relationship
me and math have a negative exponential relationship 💀
Hell nah
I was literally doing definite integrals as the last unit and ive finished with the materials
now i have to revise, which ill prob end up doing 3 days before the exam
Tf?
Graduating class of <25??
students I think
lol i can’t imagine going to a school where i don’t know the names of all my classmates
I can agree with that haha
it would be weird but its the reality for the vast majority of students
Mine is like ~80
yeah ofc ofc
i’m lucky i can go to one that’s so small
even though the class offerings are much less expansive
At least in my school, in the IB department we are around 75 seniors, but in the national curiculum, the graduating class is around 220 people, many of which i dont remember. Its like being in a game and those ppl are npcs which i will mb see once in a reunion
Id say more like t30
below that it gets pretty fine, maybe not at predicting but at analysing how an app fit/doesnt fit
You guys are delusional
ChatGPT isn’t accurate at all because it can’t account for the rest of your high school class, your state/region, the ACTUAL quality of your recommendations (unless you didn’t waive FERPA in which case your letters aren’t weighted nearly as heavily) or the quality of the rest of the applicants within your admissions round.
Whereas nonprofits used to look great two years ago, they are practically filler in this cycle for top colleges. ChatGPT is incapable of accounting for this because it’s trained on antiquated data. Admissions changed every single year so you should take what you have and be patient.
yeah lol, not to mention you can’t get it to be unbiased 🤷♂️ it will always skew the facts one way or the other depending on how you phrase things
Exactly
I mean it predicted correctly my USC, Georgetown, Umich, uva admissions
why are we using llms to chance ourselves 😭 🙏
what else are they supposed to do
go outside
maybe hang out with friends
you really think they go outside or have friends if they are predicting their chances of getting into colleges using ChatGPT?

yea thats assuming they have friends
based
i love harvard
And I can doom for so long all to myself
ive been running a lot recently ngl
llms?
I used stockfish for my predictions
We not the same 🤣 😹
collegevine told me i had a 35% chance at caltech and i got in
It’s wrong it told me Iwas gna get in and I didn’t
Don’t trust college vibe
Also GPT is not completely accurate
Parchment also has a chance me
It said Caltech admit and I got rejected
Does it consider whole app
My only denial so far
Bro that so wrong
i thjnk so
it’s alright ig
👀☠️
hey man sometimes i get bored in class
i can gurantee I go outside more than the average A2Cer
(a.k.a more than 0 times a week)
going to your mailbox to check for likelies doesn’t count
i ain’t a likelies coper 💔
||does walking to you car to drive to school count though, that’s a good chunk||
lmaoooo
youll get checkmated in 5 moves
🤣
too real ngl
for 60k a year you best believe i’m gonna milk it
gotta aspire to be better than the school. Undergrad ain't the end. Fuck the noise, I'm still trying to win a Nobel prize
I just might not be as focused on it as the average grinder, but other people aren't my problem
Imagine
Harvard crimson jus kinda fire
this is my dad bro has so much harvard merch and im convinced its because someone told him i am smart but probably not smart enough to get into harvard, just smart for a rural area

my dad constantly threatens to buy yale merch and show up to campus in it to visit me
My dad also has a Yale sweatshirt but so do I lol but I got in so it is fine
bro this is like when i walked around stanford with a uc berkeley branded football right after they lost the big game against them
i didn’t buy a single piece of college merch prior to getting my decisions
i don’t think i would be able to bear the pain of seeing it in my closet if i got rejected 💀
idk why ppl do this its just like embarrassing if u get rejected
doubly so if someone asks “oh do you go to x?” “no i got rejected…”
plus they’re hella expensive
its so extra
i see college decision opening vids with their whole family wearing a schools merch
like what now after u get rejected
oh yeah i’ve seen that too lol
Incredibly based
Real
they have the same merch store too
I had a capitalization inconsistency in one of my essays, could this tip the scales to a rejection
i think i get a discount on MIT merch
Unless I get into Harvard then I'll hate on MIT
yeah cooked sorry
this ratio is gonna tip the scales to a rejection
indubitably cooked
sautéed on a pan with onions
R u fr
Why would we joke about this
Guys how could I be so dumb
I literally proofreaded and had Grammarly and
it signals that you don’t give things their proper weight
😭😭😭
Like it was a cultural thing too
It was capitalized the 10x times I mentioned it and then the last line I forget 💀
yeah you’re a goner buddy
you can kiss crimson goodbye
Why would you trust Grammarly?
My school reccomend
Neither did I lol
Wait r u guys fr will they reject me bc of this
I am too anxious to know truth from lie
Probably not. But if I were a reader, I would notice something like that
