Harvard University (2024-2025)

[modern wolf]

of extremely needy babies that need to be babied

[knotty orchid]

small school

[knotty orchid]

🤣

[modern wolf]

i used to go to a school with 20 kids in the yeargroup lol

was much nicer tbh

[knotty orchid]

I’m sure it was lol

[modern wolf]

so we have a head of sixth form deputy head head of year deputy head of year form tutors for 4 forms and a shit load of other people

all babying bunch of 17-18 years olds

[knotty orchid]

private schools are mad

[modern wolf]

yes

mad

[hardy lance]

?

[knotty orchid]

for intl unis

[ocean palm]

when the biggest city in ur region is St Louis 💀

wait this is odd

nobody considers CO or WY to be midwest

[crystal shadow]

this is the midwest to me

[reef grove]

only like four of those states are even vaguely toward the west end of the country tho

[obsidian nexus]

yeah this is the midwest

[crystal shadow]

minnesota is quintessential midwest

[obsidian nexus]

like i said, the name has zero relevance to where it is geographically. treat it like iphone from apple. it has nothing to do with apples but you don't see the 1.46 billion active iphone users complaining

[bleak otter]

i think midwest is different from great lakes

[obsidian nexus]

like if a kid is named luna, nobody throws a fit because they arent physically the moon

ykwim

idk if youd call it a fossil word

nvm its not

but like trending towards that space of word categories in etymology yk

for specifically the US

[bleak otter]

orion

😭

[reef grove]

i think its shifted over time

like obv when manifest destiny was a thing illinois was like the west right

[crystal shadow]

great lakes states are quintessential midwest 💔

[reef grove]

but now we have like 20 other states west of that

[bleak otter]

the issue is ohio

ohio is like

half appalachia

[crystal shadow]

hmmm

i see your point

[bleak otter]

and then kansas/ north/ south dakota

are so different

• nebraska

from like illinoi

[crystal shadow]

minnesota iowa and wisconsin connects them

its like a spectrum

[marsh lark]

Words don't necessarily shift with physical reality lol

We still call the passenger seat the shotgun even though there is no longer an armed stagecoach guard sitting there

I think it's neat that we have little traces of history in our words/symbols now

Illinois is called the midwest because it used to be in the western half and that's still how it's understood now so that's what it is (in a linguistically descriptivist way ig)

[reef grove]

i feel like it depends

like our definition of "middle east" has changed a lot throughout the decades for example

idk i just base it off of vibes

as a true midwesterner, the states i think are midwest are the ones i interact with and compete with the most often

and the ones i feel that have a similar culture to me

bc someone in illinois is not gonna have the same culture as someone in kansas

but someone in iowa is gonna be p similar to someone from kansas

[ocean palm]

"core" midwest

[reef grove]

i think thats actually the worst map ive ever seen in my life

no nebraska??? no kansas???

NEW YORK?????

[ocean palm]

yeah buffalo is midwestern imo

[reef grove]

CANADA?????

[ocean palm]

toronto arguably

or well

[reef grove]

bro get winnipeg outta there

[ocean palm]

windsor/london ontario

buffalonians speak just like chicagoan

s

very similar settlement patterns

[ocean palm]

prairie states register as something different imo

[reef grove]

calling nebraska a prairie state and not iowa is diabolical

[ocean palm]

the midwest lies to the east of the rain line

[marsh lark]

Yeah just not necessarily as I said

Tbh though I'm from socal I like calling LA northern california

[reef grove]

"the midwest lies to the east" pain

[ocean palm]

yeah

[reef grove]

the midwest is westtttt

not east of anything

[ocean palm]

it's west of the appalachians

it's east of the continental divide

[marsh lark]

Does anyone from Colorado think they're in the Midwest 😭

[ocean palm]

i guess to me midwest = great lakes

[marsh lark]

I think Colorado people would call themselves mountain west

[ocean palm]

colorado in midwest is actually diabolical icl

yeah

[marsh lark]

Yeah I think this is the general american understanding

[reef grove]

i can compromise on colorado

[ocean palm]

i still think buffalo

and southern ontario

[marsh lark]

Definitions are collectively decided 🙏 by all speakers

[ocean palm]

do fall in midwest

pittsburgh too

[reef grove]

but calling new york, which touches the atlantic, midwest is absolutely devious 😭😭

[marsh lark]

Alright buffalo is a bit much

[marsh lark]

You are all east of me

[reef grove]

real as a midwesterner i want to decide

[marsh lark]

All speakers includes non-midwesterners unfortunately

[reef grove]

noooooooo

:C

[marsh lark]

Kaz don't you support democracy

[reef grove]

my lawyer has advised me not to answer that question

okay but real talk i think the worst midwest blunder was when stephen king thought nebraska was in the bible belt

i was actually floored when i read children of the corn lmao

[obsidian nexus]

yeah this is a good example

[brisk harness]

[cinder zenith]

What likely and admit do u have? Out of curiosity…

[bleak otter]

washlee

[sour pewter]

Hi everyone, is it possible to get in w/o an interview?

[frail plank]

Like Yale, about 90-95% of admits are interviewed. So technically it is possible but very unlikely.

[rugged vessel]

waitttt there's a name for them asking ur counselor abt u 💀 bye

[viral thorn]

auditing?

thats not even college specific

its just the same term that applies to jobs

[rugged vessel]

i didnt know we used that for college apps 😭

[quaint steppe]

The irs is looking into ur college apps

[viral thorn]

I mean me neither until a week ago

[wet owl]

Housing day looks so fun 😭

Can't this year just fly by lmao

[raven tapir]

bro

my counselor has not

sent my midyear transcript

and the earlies it could be done

is the 17th

FUCK

[half jewel]

harvard is the only school i applied for that offered interviews but i didn’t get one

i’m gonna ropemaxx

[opaque stirrup]

rural area core

[obsidian nexus]

[obsidian nexus]

jeni got audited :O

[gaunt wave]

girl you already got into caltech 🙏

[half jewel]

LMAO

[rugged vessel]

Shitt we be auditing classes here😭

[half jewel]

Collegevine predicted higher chances at caltech than harvard 😒

[blazing kite]

guys what does it mean when the ao calls ur counselor (same one i interviewed with)

[glad blaze]

it means the ao called your counselor 🙂

[glad blaze]

joking. that's definitely not a bad thing

but as someone once said

!bgastro

[light hazel]

https://i.imgur.com/uoDQN2D.png

[crystal shadow]

im auditing a class rn

[crystal shadow]

what did they call about?

[blazing kite]

asking about my resume

[blazing kite]

the fact that there's a command for this.. I'm not dooming I just dk if it's a common thing 💔

[raven tapir]

specifically, what?

like verifying

certain things?

[sour pewter]

Ikr I’m positive I’m not getting into Harvard.

[crystal shadow]

if it's to verify, similar thing happened to me and my school's college counselor said it was a great sign :) as long as you were being truthful on your app and your counselor can vouch for you, you have nothing to worry about!

it's not a guarentee or anything but it's a pretty good sign

[half jewel]

Chat am i cooked

[blazing kite]

what different things meant, how the school teaches xyz classes
-# keeping it vague on purpose...

[half jewel]

16% at MIT but 25% at CIT

[raven tapir]

oh ur fine then

[half jewel]

College vine 😒

[raven tapir]

bro congrats on caltech

😭

i got rejected

[half jewel]

awwww it ok

[blazing kite]

idk if any "verifying" was done, it sounded like the ao just wanted a better understanding of our school (we suck)

[raven tapir]

and i found out the only other person from my town who applied got in cause he was a soccer recruit

[blazing kite]

how are you cooked with a caltech acceptance hello

[raven tapir]

admitted to caltech and rejected from gtech is crazy work imo

[half jewel]

It’s 15k a year

[crystal shadow]

caltech admitted 💔 you're gonna be just fine

[half jewel]

ITS 15K A YEAR 😭

[raven tapir]

that is NOT that bad

[blazing kite]

that's in-state cost for me 😭

[raven tapir]

comparitively

[half jewel]

I’m poor

[crystal shadow]

nono i mean, for the other decisions

[half jewel]

ohhh

[crystal shadow]

if you bagged caltech you're def competitive for other top schools

[half jewel]

Well, heheh, georgia tech

🤓

[blazing kite]

might be time for loans and/or a job

[raven tapir]

bro wth does georgia tech think they are ????

[worn helm]

bro just wanted to flex 💀💀

congrats tho

[half jewel]

I know other kids who got rejected from georgia but into caltech

[raven tapir]

ts makes no sense 🥀

[half jewel]

The gtech essay is kinda limiting though imo

[crystal shadow]

wait twins 🤝 no harvard interview

[raven tapir]

i should change my pfp

[fleet thicket]

lowkey northwestern in the insta bio is aura asf

[crystal shadow]

no i know many nu lovers

[worn helm]

jenni coming to visitas 👀👀

[viral thorn]

i dont have it in my insta bio bc the ppl at my school r judgemental

[fleet thicket]

top 5 aura in bio schools (not ranked)
harvard
yale
wharton (not penn, js wharton)
stanford
duke

[viral thorn]

someone called it a safety then i took it out

[fleet thicket]

bruh

nu ain’t no safety

[crystal shadow]

only if i get in 😥

[worn helm]

yall got this

best of luck

[crystal shadow]

chris no harvard interview

[fleet thicket]

the only real safety is harvard

[crystal shadow]

am i finished

[crystal shadow]

thoughts on columbia

[fleet thicket]

nah

[fleet thicket]

oooo

columbia is aura asf too

[crystal shadow]

dartmouth is quite nice as well

[fleet thicket]

swap wharton for columbia or princeton

lowkey all the ivies r aura for the insta bio

[rugged vessel]

was for me 😜

[crystal shadow]

wharton is aura 💔

[crystal shadow]

princeton is so much aura

this is true every ivy is aura

[fleet thicket]

wait but harvard or @harvard

[viral thorn]

cornell is auraless

[fleet thicket]

i feel like @harvard is just doing too much

[fleet thicket]

true

i didn’t even apply it was too safety for me

[crystal shadow]

well harvard '29 makes sense

[rugged vessel]

i do @harvard

[fleet thicket]

(i’m kidding cornell is a great school)

[rugged vessel]

@harvard '28

they gott aknow my name

[fleet thicket]

@harvard ‘28 is a lot tho

[viral thorn]

is it bad if im already plotting transferring to ucsd and i havent even started college

[rugged vessel]

well

[fleet thicket]

i feel like harvard ‘28 or @harvard

[crystal shadow]

(insert major)@harvard '29 only makes sense in a linkedin bio

[rugged vessel]

yes

[crystal shadow]

idt it makes as much sense in an instagram bio

[rugged vessel]

I GO TO HARVARD I CAN MAKE THE RULES

[viral thorn]

Surely they will accept me

[fleet thicket]

yes i’m so excited to change my linkedin bio

EECS @ Yale

[viral thorn]

yale? omg

[floral briar]

Yo if I accidentally click withdraw I am fine until I don't submit right?
(Asking for a friend, or maybe not)

[fleet thicket]

yes

[viral thorn]

Yes

[fleet thicket]

but don’t accidentally click withdraw

[floral briar]

HAHAHAHHA no 😭😭😭

[viral thorn]

But why

[floral briar]

My Harvard/Yale twin

[viral thorn]

I’m assuming Cal/UCLA oos are impossible if my senior year grades are meh

[fleet thicket]

nah

[rugged vessel]

go to the damn cshool first

[viral thorn]

my gpa is just lowkey bad

[crystal shadow]

do they see your senior year grades

[viral thorn]

But I wanna go to uc

[crystal shadow]

they didn't see any of mine

[viral thorn]

for transfers yes

[crystal shadow]

ohhhh

[rugged vessel]

would i lose aura if i get a C in linear algebra

[crystal shadow]

you have infinite aura

limit as n approaches infinity for n - 1 is still infinity

[viral thorn]

I feel like it’s unjustifiable to transfer to ucd

[crystal shadow]

ucd is a wonderous school

[viral thorn]

uci is probably justifiable

[viral thorn]

maybe

ucsd is definitely justifiable

[crystal shadow]

irvine spectrum

[fleet thicket]

you haven’t even decided what school ur going to yet!

[viral thorn]

maybe i should just give up on california

😔

[viral thorn]

i have

[fleet thicket]

oh r u committed

[viral thorn]

yes

[fleet thicket]

oh nvm then

[viral thorn]

im not a prefrosh because someone asked me if i was in middle school

[crystal shadow]

i've given up on california

[viral thorn]

i lowkey regret everything about how i did the college admissions process
i feel like i didnt have enough of an understanding of how anything worked bc nobody in my life explained it to me and i assumed my chances of getting into any reach/targets were so nonexistent that i didn't put any thought into choosing them

[raven tapir]

same here

[robust zenith]

thats how alot of folks are

dont worry its just one of those things

[viral thorn]

yea but now i straight up have no choices

ig i should care less

[robust zenith]

it be like that

[robust zenith]

only harvard?

[obsidian nexus]

THREE PEOPLE ALL ON ONE MATTRESS?

[obsidian nexus]

i giggled

[viral thorn]

not harvard 💀

i wish

[robust zenith]

well do realize its not ever

theres many ways to go from here

[viral thorn]

Ig but like now I have to transfer or I just have no choices

[robust zenith]

when u say no choices

do you mean expensive

or like u simply have no college to go to besides cc

[viral thorn]

i applied somewhere ed and now im bound to go there

but i did not put an appropriate degree of thought into it

[quaint steppe]

Where

[viral thorn]

because i never considered id get in

[rugged vessel]

no like on the floor

i have spare mattress

[obsidian nexus]

OHHHHHH

[crystal shadow]

do u wanna share a floor mattress

[obsidian nexus]

yes 👅

[fleet thicket]

is ur room big

[crystal shadow]

sucks2suck because visitas is during icdc

👅

[obsidian nexus]

me wen i pull up to icdc

[crystal shadow]

you're at your lowest rn

[rugged vessel]

its enough for me (1 person) hdnkgjdg

like if i had two small mattresses on the floor for the both of them, that would take up the floor

[obsidian nexus]

only up from here!

[crystal shadow]

you can compact us into one of these rice ball molds

dw we won't take up much space

[viral thorn]

nw

[quaint steppe]

Oh ur goated

[viral thorn]

Wait youre the edater right (nonderogatory)

[crystal shadow]

smiy cracked

[obsidian nexus]

😭 💀

bruh

[rough elk]

bros hoping

hope hope hope

[rugged vessel]

if i am the one and only, sure

[obsidian nexus]

its so sunny and warm. what could go wrong

[rough elk]

it is grey but sunny here

doom but also maybe not idk

[crystal shadow]

redbean are you feeling hope

[rough elk]

this would be waitlist weather i think

[obsidian nexus]

LMFAO

[rough elk]

honesrly idrc

[obsidian nexus]

hope. pure hope. pure elation of gold

[obsidian nexus]

i read this as icdc

[rough elk]

it’s not a top choice of mine + st. louis is the murder cap of the US

[crystal shadow]

yeah i need to stop talking about deca with you

[rough elk]

and i ain’t tryna get murdered

[rough elk]

LMFAO

[viral thorn]

How bad is it

[rugged vessel]

what

[viral thorn]

No I am not LMAOOO

[viral thorn]

bro 💀

[fleet thicket]

i just wanna get my rds back

i miss the thrill of opening college apps

[quaint steppe]

You got into nw

[viral thorn]

Like how bad of an experience is being in a long distance relationship I am debating whether I will regret it

[crystal shadow]

this is so real

[viral thorn]

I’ve heard horror stories

[rough elk]

this is not real

[viral thorn]

[rough elk]

i have never experienced anything worse

[fleet thicket]

i dont think ill get emotional over any tho

i got so emotional over some of my earlies

i cried for case western brah

[viral thorn]

What earlies did u get?

[crystal shadow]

i need some An update to your application was last posted March 27, 2025 buttons to click

[fleet thicket]

mich umd cwru zoomass villanova neu oakland drexel (yale but this was rd)

[viral thorn]

I hate to say it but I kinda get why people leave their applications after Ed in

[fleet thicket]

and then deferred mit deferred usc

[viral thorn]

I did not because I have morals

[fleet thicket]

i get it too but its lowk pointless

like ur not going to any of those schools anyway

[rugged vessel]

if it was a bad experience then why would i be in one?

[crystal shadow]

lowkey i've given up on usc

i took the deferral as a soft reject

[fleet thicket]

i dont really gaf abt usc anymore

[viral thorn]

But it’s so weird being deeply invested and dedicating countless hours of mental and emotional effort to writing apps that then fade into nonexistence

[fleet thicket]

so far and so expensive

[fleet thicket]

this is why i didnt ed/rea

lol

[viral thorn]

I def phrased the question badly I’m just wondering if its emotionally painful really

[rugged vessel]

um i dont think theres any problem with it that isn't present in irl relationships

besides the literal distance thing

[viral thorn]

thats fair

yeah

[rugged vessel]

but that is workaroundable

such as visits

which aren't common btu we look forward to

she is here right now

has been here for almost a month, leaves in a week

[viral thorn]

oh thats awesome :D

[hardy lance]

virtual interview core

[reef grove]

☹️

[reef grove]

wait what long distance isnt the same as edating right? i thought they were diff

[rugged vessel]

you are fine

[rugged vessel]

i mean idk i dont attribute edating with a positive connotation nowadays

it really is just long distance

[worn helm]

ouchh

best of luck type

but dont count on it ngl

[crystal shadow]

[rugged vessel]

\

[reef grove]

to me edating = met online, never met irl, whereas long distance is met irl but you live far apart for some reason

[rugged vessel]

ops

yeah

[reef grove]

💀

[crystal shadow]

/

[viral thorn]

Ig
I don’t really distinguish but I also don’t view edating with a negative connotation like most ppl seem to

Ik multiple happy irl couples that met online lmao

If anything a lot of them like each other specifically because they have compatible personalities and they tend to have spent a lot of time calling each other and shit so they are almost more successful

[obsidian nexus]

my goat JENI

[viral thorn]

like appearance wasn’t the first deciding factor

[obsidian nexus]

wait. this is real

[reef grove]

i feel like until you meet up it’s not the same as an irl relationship, it might just be me but i feel like you can’t have the human factor as much if you’ve never even seen each other face to face LMAO

[viral thorn]

It is also possible that I am just autistic

[reef grove]

idk i might be in the minority there

[viral thorn]

That’s true but I know a lot of successful relationships that started out as edating so I don’t think its entirely a shit concept

[robust zenith]

bro what are chatting on about

[viral thorn]

Anyways I’m talking about someone ik irl who’s going to college in a diff state

So I guess long distance

[reef grove]

someone brought up edating 💔

[hardy lance]

there are levels

[reef grove]

i mean depending on your definition meeting on tinder could be edating lmao

[hardy lance]

like irl rleationships can be deep but like ur always learning more about someone

esp if u move in w them or meet thier fam or friends

just bc u see them face to face dosen't automatcially make it any deeper than any other kind of relationship

[reef grove]

hmm i suppose, idk i’ve never edated someone so i wouldn’t know how a relationship like that would feel like

i’m long distance rn tho

[rugged vessel]

i do not get the problem with edating, when dating app culture is such a norm

i met my gf in an online community very centered around social games so we talked almost everyday for almost a year before dating

how is one going to say there isnt a genuine emotional connection there

[obsidian nexus]

wait this was very fascinating

https://blog.luap.info/the-reality-of-dating-apps.html

[rugged vessel]

and now she visits and on day 1 its like we never edated at all, we jump right into everything that made it seem irl

its not like i was gonna be like ooh nvm i dont like this bitch irl

[reef grove]

i think the societal problem lies with the association of edating with younger/inexperienced people and also a lack of traditional relationshipy activities

bc it’s much easier for young ppl to edate than irl date

[rugged vessel]

that happens literally with any type of relationship though

well yes

[reef grove]

yeah

idk it’s interesting, long distance is taxing enough for me so i don’t think i could survive edating

[rugged vessel]

we just put slightly less into it so we can still live our lives

[reef grove]

tinder ELO 💀

[reef grove]

makes sense

[obsidian nexus]

yeah its crazy bruh

[rough elk]

this is interesting

honestly i don’t really see the point of dating apps

[reef grove]

i think it’s a nice idea in concept

for introverts or people that don’t do many social things

but from what i’ve heard it’s a hellhole lmao

never used one tho so i wouldn’t know

[rough elk]

this is fair but wouldn’t they struggle over text anyways and have low returns on the dates if they get one

or is that not rlly introverted and more socially awkward

[reef grove]

prolly most do

[obsidian nexus]

bro is calculating low roi on the date

[reef grove]

i think tinder has like “recommended first lines” or smth tho

[obsidian nexus]

bro @rough elk chatgpt wrapper for dating conversations

[rough elk]

i just don’t see the point if you want to hu you can just go to clubs or bars and if you want to date go to a run club or ask someone in person

[rough elk]

this exists

[reef grove]

nah we need to analyze every text in chess.com terms

[rough elk]

unless you have a diff interpretation than i do

are we talking stockfish

@q.h.18

[lunar shoal]

Am I crazy for being tempted to go to Harvard over cmu for ECE/CS (if I got in which I won't)

I love the Cambridge area so much

[sour pewter]

Not crazy at all

[tall haven]

U got cmu cs???😭😭

[true aspen]

harvard accept me now

[lunar shoal]

No ece

But I'm basically gonna spec into cs, I just really like comp arch

[fleet thicket]

nah

[tall haven]

Bro that’s so good

I got cmu WL

[fleet thicket]

but also do u just want harvard for the ivy name?

[tall haven]

It’s like doing English at Harvard imo

A lot of my teachers r Harvard alum

[fleet thicket]

wdym

[tall haven]

For English

But like make 70k a year

[lunar shoal]

Idk I just loved Cambridge and the campus when I visited

I would definitely visit Pittsburgh before making a decision like that

[fleet thicket]

go whoever u think fits u best

u also gotta get into harvard first lol

[tall haven]

Agreed

[lunar shoal]

Exactly lol

Probably won't happen so I won't stress

[fleet thicket]

like i was contemplating btwn harvard yale and mit before the decisions happened

[lunar shoal]

Real lmao

[fleet thicket]

mit rejected me, don’t gotta make that decision lol

[lunar shoal]

It's so easy to get overconfident

[fleet thicket]

i will wait to see if harvard accepts me then j will make a decision

[lunar shoal]

Based

See you March 27th and gl 🙏

[half jewel]

ivy day im going 5/5

[frail plank]

Guys are gov intended majors oversubscribed here

Like are there too many applicants with same interest like with CS

[reef grove]

i am a gov major 👁️👁️

[frail plank]

💀

[reef grove]

i think a couple other ppl are too

there were actually a surprising number of gov majors already admitted from what i’ve seen

but it might just be me noticing them more often than other majors

[frail plank]

😭😭😭

No yall

[reef grove]

they were cracked af too i’m ngl 💀💀💀

[floral briar]

I heard that env sci majors are pretty low thi

Tho*

They don't take many form intls at least

[frail plank]

Like how crack

[reef grove]

i can’t remember any off the top of my head so i suppose

[reef grove]

like my jaw dropped when reading some of them

[floral briar]

Shittttt
I am an env sci major 😭

[frail plank]

Like I’m from dc region and I don’t have any government internships 💀💀💀

[reef grove]

but like at the same time i got in without gov internships

[frail plank]

Ok where r u based

[reef grove]

wait no that’s good for you bc they have more spots for env sci

not all of em are filled

[frail plank]

Yea

[reef grove]

midwest

i’m not a citizen so i can’t get gov internships

i didn’t do any national caliber stuff either

just state level

[floral briar]

Dm Kazzzz

[frail plank]

Oh

Do u think cuz im from dc they will be confused as why i dont have gov internship?

I did found a school club tho where I host returning diplomats from the dept of state

[reef grove]

if you did smth else with your time i don’t think they would mind

i followed a very interesting path into gov

i think it might actually work in your favor if you do smth no one else does

that’s my best guess as to why i stood out anyway 🤷‍♂️ maybe they just thought my roommate essay was funny

[frail plank]

I mean I mostly focus on international relations, so gov in general wasn’t really on my radar

I’m also quite well rounded and not super “spiky”. I have ambassadorship with NIH bc that’s also I’m passionate about

Do you mind if I DM you?

[knotty orchid]

what abt history

[reef grove]

uhhh i think i remember one or two

not a ton

[knotty orchid]

that’s good right

amazing

[reef grove]

splendiferous

just peachy

[knotty orchid]

smashing

as we say

[echo fractal]

did harvard just not do likelies/likely letters this year?

[floral briar]

Guys is the important timelines on portal still showing January?

[echo fractal]

hbu?

[floral briar]

Sameeeee

[echo fractal]

why did it delete

[floral briar]

End march*

Prolly edited

[floral briar]

Nope

[floral briar]

Oh

[floral briar]

[echo fractal]

only student-athletes

[floral briar]

Same

[karmic flax]

those are still likelies lmao

[echo fractal]

yes, but academic ones

[karmic flax]

most likelies are for student athletes

[echo fractal]

yes fs

[karmic flax]

there isnt a difference

theyre just likely letters

[floral briar]

https://tenor.com/view/meh-idc-i-dont-care-whatever-duh-gif-17873786

[tall haven]

Athletes got it

[crystal shadow]

i didnt see anyone talk about getting a non athletic likely letter this year

so inchresting

[knotty orchid]

yeah same

[hardy lance]

ik i'm delusional but i think i'm getting in

oh harvard oh harvard i'm coming for you

you can't hide from me cuz i'm looking for you

you may try and run

you may try and hide

but when i come out

we will go for a ride

[modern wolf]

#imgettingintoharvard

[foggy sorrel]

Why do you want to get into Harvard

[foggy sorrel]

Your username is weird and obsessive

Don’t let your parents control you

You’re your own person with your own dreams 💙

[modern wolf]

your username is weirder

[fleet thicket]

doubtfuloil ur wise

[modern wolf]

literally says who

[foggy sorrel]

Me

[fleet thicket]

why would u sell ur firstborn child for a t10 acceptance

[modern wolf]

its not a question of why but when

anytime

[foggy sorrel]

Why do you want to go to a T10 so bad

[modern wolf]

why do you have a problem with my username

[foggy sorrel]

I feel like I was very obsessed with college admissions too earlier on this year and looking back I can now acknowledge that it was an unhealthy obsession

[gritty parcel]

would you not?

[foggy sorrel]

I don’t have a problem with your username but I just hope everyone knows that in reality no one will care about the college you go to or even recognize it

[fleet thicket]

nah

[modern wolf]

why are you giving me this lecture

[fleet thicket]

idk if ima have kids

[gritty parcel]

id sell my firstborn to meet cooper flagg and duke is a top 10 so i would

[foggy sorrel]

It was a sentence long 💔

[fleet thicket]

oh well that makes sense

duke winning march madness this year?

[foggy sorrel]

No

[fleet thicket]

lowk i have faith in yale

but thats just post acceptance glaze

[gritty parcel]

not even close

[gritty parcel]

yale isnt making it i have faith in cornell ngl

[hardy sable]

would you sell your firstborn for a t10

[gritty parcel]

but its either auburn or tennesee this year

[fleet thicket]

u have more faith in cornell than yale???

yale has had such a good season

[modern wolf]

i think my username answers that question

quite explicitly

[jagged nexus]

That's wild.

[gritty parcel]

yeah but dartmouth and princeton have shown exactly how to beat yale tbh

[fleet thicket]

pton lost to yale

yesterday

[gritty parcel]

yeah ik

[fleet thicket]

so did darty

wait huh

[gritty parcel]

dartmouth lost their game too

[fleet thicket]

how do you beat yale

[hardy sable]

oh okay

wonderful

[gritty parcel]

princeton completely threw townsend off defense and the double teamed poukoulaidas (i cannot spell this guys name man) at the three

it was a really solid strategy ngl

[fleet thicket]

ah

what about mbeng

with his insane amount of triple doubles

[gritty parcel]

hes extremely extremely good but yale's threat has always been poukoulaidas

im spelling it wrong fs

[fleet thicket]

i think u got it

poulakidas

you were adding a lot of letters

lol

[gritty parcel]

lmao i could feel it

but yeah hes kinda insane

[fleet thicket]

yeah he is

no way he goes pro tho

or what do u think

[gritty parcel]

cornell has decent scoring options across the board they have a shot at this

[gritty parcel]

no way

unless yale beats auburn again or smth lol

[fleet thicket]

what do the best ivy players even do after they graduate

[gritty parcel]

idek

[fleet thicket]

like theyre rlly good at basketball but not good enough to go pro

[gritty parcel]

yeah

[fleet thicket]

is he js gonna lose all of his followers after he graduates lol

do u think cornell will win against yale tomorrow?

[gritty parcel]

prob not

but i believe in em

i think they have a better chance than most ppl think

[karmic flax]

occasionally they go pro but 99% of the time they just retire from their sport like most collegiate athletes

[hardy lance]

because

any answer i give you will not satisfy you

[jagged nexus]

It's literally Jeremy Lin....

One of my roommates was a center. He ended up playing on Europe for awhile. I don't know what he does now

[jagged nexus]

I mean, you could try.

[gritty parcel]

my goat

[fleet thicket]

damn jeremy lin went to harvard???

[hardy lance]

you didn't know?

[jagged nexus]

Yup

[hardy lance]

like that was his whole deal

asian kid from harvard lights up nba

[gritty parcel]

ik right i feel like that should be more well known

[jagged nexus]

Until he found the great weakness of NBA basketball, the pick and roll

[hardy lance]

he specifically referenced harvard in some of his interviews

[fleet thicket]

i dont watch basketball like that

[jagged nexus]

Being a Harvard kid and Asian was a negative

"Smart player. Doesn't translate to the NBA game "

[fleet thicket]

worked out for him

damn jeremy lin is him

[jagged nexus]

Well. Only after being signed to a 10 day contract and playing only because of injuries

[hardy lance]

tom brady only played bc of injuries

(i don't like tom brady but still yk)

[obsidian nexus]

even better bro

then you can sell it upon birth for a t10 and have zero qualms /s

[hardy lance]

i'd like to be ur kid uni

yale legacy yk

[fleet thicket]

just generally a weird thing to say

[obsidian nexus]

LMFAOOOO

[fleet thicket]

its like why would you type that and then press enter

[foggy sorrel]

Yikes

[fleet thicket]

what was going through bros head

[obsidian nexus]

most normal a2cer 😭 😭

[karmic flax]

i feel like theres a fairytale about this concept

[hardy lance]

i'm sorry dad

[jagged nexus]

The prestige bill ain't that high....

[obsidian nexus]

for the record i am entirely joking

[raven tapir]

i still didn't get an interview

ik

ts scares me so much

[junior imp]

Yeah no interview has made me feel that Harvard is impossible lol

But it’s okay, there are a lot of other schools

[copper void]

didnt get an interview either but it's fuckin harvard so kinda understandable

[crystal shadow]

bro real

which is kind of funny cs i got yale and duke interviews

[opal birch]

i got mit yale stanford princeton harvard interviews but no duke

😿

[crystal shadow]

interviews are so weird 💔

i thought if i could get yale and duke interviews id get a harvard interview too but 💔

tbf i do live in a middle of nowhere midwest state though

[opal birch]

i live in a tech hub area so that prolly helped

well actually idk a bunch of ppl near me were complaining abt no knterviews

[crystal shadow]

bro is the goat!

[obsidian nexus]

yeah exactly

bro

[opal birch]

some might say

i would clarify but i’m afraid this is 1984

[tall haven]

Bro i got Yale senior but no Harvard duke im so confused

As for prescreen ones

[crystal shadow]

do people get in w/o interviews 💔

[tall haven]

Ikr ts what im wondering

Cuz I feel like Yale Duke n Harvard shld be correlated no?

[opal birch]

usually just ultra competitive students can

[crystal shadow]

yale and duke interviews much less than harvard does iirc

[opal birch]

yales can be selective

[fiery ridge]

Is Harvard still doing likely letters this year?

[opal birch]

i heard very rare talk about it

it’s not very common though

[crystal shadow]

like for non athletes ?

[fiery ridge]

Nah I mean like are they doing it this year still

It’s March 15

[fiery ridge]

Yep

[crystal shadow]

yeah i haven’t heard anyone talk about non athlete harvard likely letters this year

[opal birch]

i doubt atp there’s a reason for a likely letter

all of mine i got in feb

[fiery ridge]

athletes got a likely letter tho?

[crystal shadow]

yeah i mean for non athletes

[fiery ridge]

Hmm ok

[opal birch]

there’s not rly a point

[crystal shadow]

true

[opal birch]

they usually would release them in early feb

[crystal shadow]

people usually pick harvard

[opal birch]

that’s what happened in my case

cuz otherwise

[crystal shadow]

which school

[opal birch]

u can’t learn abt it

[crystal shadow]

i mean columbia last wave came out a few days ago

but i get what you mean

[fiery ridge]

^

[opal birch]

can’t share but i got two from the schools i had interviews at

[fiery ridge]

I think Columbia is the only one tho lol

[crystal shadow]

ooh

[fiery ridge]

Most likelys came out Feb

[opal birch]

im not tryna get

booted

[fiery ridge]

Wait why can’t you discuss which schools gave you a likely letter

[opal birch]

not bc of the schools

i’ll dm

one sec

[fiery ridge]

Ok

Cuz I got 2 likelys too

In Feb

[opal birch]

accept frq

[fiery ridge]

I did

[tall haven]

Did u get Harvard interviews

[fiery ridge]

Ye

[tall haven]

F I’m so cooked

[raven tapir]

bro there was this meme about harvard going out into afghanistan to interview this one candidate

[muted seal]

did anyone here do any summer programs?
I got waitlisted from YYGS and rejected from rsi ugh

[reef grove]

i did a noncompetitive one

[sour pewter]

same same.

[clear dock]

So no interview means no chance or doesn't mean anything?

[fleet thicket]

arguably doesn’t mean anything

[tall haven]

No chance

[bleak otter]

😭

[tall haven]

Harvard interviews a majority of admits

No I asked my gc yesterday

She told me the hard truth

I’m getting rejected from Harvard guys

It’s been a long journey

[jaunty pagoda]

What if I'm intl and I nor anyone in my area ever get interviews?

[junior imp]

There’s definitely an availability aspect to it though

Like if you got an interview at Yale or Duke or something and no Harvard interview it’s probably not because of your stats I’d assume

This might just be me coping though

[tall haven]

Did they get in? Idk this is for domestic

[tall haven]

They prescreen apps

And sssign them earrings

[jaunty pagoda]

I just know one person that got into stanford

[tall haven]

Yes for intl it’s necessary

Stanford is not

Harvard yes

[junior imp]

Yes, but so do Yale and Duke

[tall haven]

Yea

They have

Different

[jaunty pagoda]

Wait do interviews ever happen online or is it always irl?

[tall haven]

Things they r looking for

[tall haven]

Yes

My take was virtual

Yale

[tall haven]

These schools look for diff things

They admit diff types of students

Guys honestly this will all be confirmed in two weeks

[junior imp]

Next week it will all be over

[sour pewter]

I'm a domestic student living internationally. Does that change it?

[sour pewter]

Context: my friend applied REA (international), and got a virtual interview. I'm doing RD from the same school (I'm a US citizen); no interview

[tall haven]

Oh idk u shld ask ur gc

[tall haven]

Oh well ur directly compared to ur classmates

[sour pewter]

yeah, so cooked then. Thanks

[tall haven]

I’m literally against a 3x Harvard legacy

And a 1x Harvard legacy

[jaunty pagoda]

Bro my classmates are all jee aspirants 😭

[tall haven]

😭😭

I was cooked from the beginning

My school is full of donors which sucks 💀💀

[jaunty pagoda]

They prolly threw out my app after they saw that my high school was iit oriented

[sour pewter]

my friend was the first from my state to get into harvard. I don't think they'll even consider another person 😢

[jaunty pagoda]

Dw bro u got a chance

Wait idek if someone from my state ever got into harvard...

I'm so cooked

[sour pewter]

which state are you from?

[foggy sorrel]

That’s a good thing

[jaunty pagoda]

Ts wbu?

[sour pewter]

ahh. I'm sure a lot of people from there would have gotten in. I'm from RJ

[foggy sorrel]

Unless you’re international

[tall haven]

Bro nah my school hasn’t had a Harvard in 7 years

And they have been going strong n

No Harvard every year for past seven years

Not much of a chance they r gna break hat legacy

[sour pewter]

that's still good. Your school is at least on their radar somewhat

[tall haven]

I think we got blacklisted

[jaunty pagoda]

Bro what 😭

[sour pewter]

I mean they have context, and it shows that they take people from your background

[jaunty pagoda]

U still got a higher chance than my goofy aah

[foggy sorrel]

Do internationals actually get into Harvard

[sour pewter]

yeah

obv

[tall haven]

Bro I’m mass

I have by far the worst chance

[fleet thicket]

not a real thing lol

[tall haven]

How have we not have a h

In a decade then

[foggy sorrel]

And honestly why would any of you want to come to the US anymore? Columbia (ivy) just deported and rescinded a LEGAL immigrant’s degree when he was involved in legal protests

[fleet thicket]

new england gets into ivies at the highest rates actually

[tall haven]

No but I’m saying

Mass

Is so competitive

Exeter NH

Philips Andover

Inflates that statistic

[sour pewter]

I'm a US citizen. But it is crazy scary regardless

[tall haven]

Those r feeder schools

[fleet thicket]

oh yeah i met some andover girl going to harvard last week lol

[tall haven]

Yes

I swear they be taking

All the mass acceptances

[fleet thicket]

they’re feeder schools for a reason lol. they’re not easy

[tall haven]

Mass public schools have no shot

[tall haven]

Bro the grade inflation is crazy there

[fleet thicket]

yeah but the classes r hard

[tall haven]

I just couldn’t afford tuition

My cousin goes there
