this is so real
Kaci, did u get into Harvard?
admit days drain my social battery so bad
no lols
this is just the only active megathread rn
Oh, fair lmao
idk I’m a little nervous about the social scene at harvard after visitas, it felt a tad cliquey
same with stanford tbh 😭
yeah ur course load i feel is reallyh important here i did good these two semesters, but next semesters I fear I have made a grave mistake
it's like my first super heavy hard course load
but also like i feel like people tend to stick to others they know/the first people they meet at those kinds of events
i wish i didnt take astro 16, and i wish i took italian instead of spanish
its hard to branch out during like a couple days
ur in spanish rn ????
i am taking 2-3 eps classes in the fall :) i think 2
last semester
YAYAYAYA
spanish is what i dropped this semester
Espanol 10?
true true, i didn’t really have someone to stick with till a fair amount in so I felt a tad isolated
BRO WHY DID U GO SO HIGH
DAWG IK SPANISH I JUST ENJOY SPANISH CLASSES IN MY LIFE
SO I DIDNT TEST OUT I WAS LAZY
WHICH IS FINE
yeah ngl i wouldve been so lost if i didnt have a handful of friends there
IF U KNOW SPANISH WHY DID U DROP THE COURSE INSTEAD OF AN ACTUALLY HARD COURSE???????????????????
it makes the experience like 10x better if you have people to fall back on
oh 1000% I agree
bro i need the course list to come out so i know if i can take the eps course i want to take 😭
pimp if u weren't going to test out of it i just wouldn't have taken the test and just did spanish 10 and spanish 11
I’m hoping that on campus I’ll be a bit better and forming friendships
I just finished my language requirement it's glorious I hated every moment of it
i can use italian to fulfill my language req
and then use spanish for divisional distribution
what div distribution does spanish fulfill??
bc its like an artsy spanish course
yeah im praying for the same
like creative writing and performance
i met a ton of engineering majors somehow and only 1 gov major
arts and humanities
not sure how that happened
but just for the higher level
aint none of those engineering majors actually committing
i never want to see or hear another language in a course at harvard ever again
I mostly met Econ and gov majors
i am 💔
Almost no engineering and applied math majors
Most of them are between Stanford and MIT as well
tbh you're going surround urself with who u surround urself with i know like hundreds of CS concentrators 💀
i cant even surround myself with eps concentrators theres like 15 currently at the school
I met none during visitas 😭
it's not like everybody who is committing to harvard went to visitas tho
True
or like you saw everyone
just take cs50 automatic AT LEAST 50 CS concentrator friends
if harvard woulda accepted me i coulda contributed to those numbers 😔
There was just an over saturation of Econ majors I feel
harvard is #1 for econ so makes sense but usually they fizzle out
they also fizzle in
whenever i think of harvard i just think of econ and gov majors
lool
a lot of ppl who want a double or joint or are undecided shift to econ
That’s fair
thats tru
MBB and politicians
omg i’m the opposite
i might take ec10a next spring off cycle
rejected stanford 😭
We’d be in the same class tgt then
wait ally ru an eps major
why would u be taking ec10a off cycle
or concentrator whatever it is at harvard
if ur an econ concentrator?
nope bme (as of rn)
Oh I thought u meant next fall
nah
is this courseload cooked
physics 15b- electromagnetism, very hard but taking it with a lot of friends and like gonna study over the summer
ese 6- intro to environmental engineering, shouldnt be too hard, theres a lab every other week and pset every week but apparently not a very hard one?
eps 52- global geophysics, no lab and like 3 psets all semester YAYY
physics 20- coding with python, pset a week, also quite hard, the one im not sure on but i wanna learn python and have it more focused to something i might use
Applied math with Econ
what math u thikn ur taking in the facll
Math 21a tbh
is harvard quarters or semesters
Nothing crazy
semesters
sad
take ec1011a
me?
theyre just making up numbers
gang how we gonna know
i think this schedule would actually cook me
bro lost me at physics
i’m never taking another physics class again in my life
is that the one with programming in it
I thought abt taking math 22a but Ive heard bad things about wood and proofs aren’t really relevant to my job field
no it's the spam partials and get cooked one
well ur dumb, but im talking about me
I just had my last wood class got me like
bros gonna be taking physics -1 next year
chat don't be saying that I'm taking Math 22A next semester with Wood. My advisor is a Math Dept Course Head and hse said the Math department is putting a lot of effort in improving how he teaches the class next semester
I LEAVE MY DORM ALL THE TIME, I HATE MY DORM
my goal is to take a class with dr wood's wife to compare the two 💀
bro you don’t leave your bed
smoof it oculdn't have been that bad
That’s good
her class is lowk like 200 level so idk if I will ever get there
WHERE DID THIS NARRATIVE COME FROM
would this be a good freshman fall semester course load
ls1a math 21a expo + smth else idk
I’ve just always heard bad things abt him
how bad is ls50
I AM USUALLY ALWAYS OUT AND ABOUT
he's only taught it once
i lwk wanna take ls50
i go to work at 8 am chat 💔
I am not one to hate wood
this is my goal
YOU WERE ASLEEP AT 5 PM I STEAD OF COMING OUT TO MEET ME 💔
im scared of college physics
others have stronger feelings abt phillip
physics c was hard enough
lol
one off
What does Phillip teach?
someone begged me not to take it in my spanish class
math and shi
they liteally made expos 5 for u girl
Well yeah😭 but like what level
phillip is dr wood btw
^
says the girl who got a c in expos
lol
dw abt it cal take the 22a you'll be fine trust
i'd rather die than take Math 21 or lower again with 3 psets a week
I feel like smoof says otherwise
I don't say otherwise
? Smoof said it wasn't all that bad
I have always said wood has improved from fall to spring
js don’t be a stem major and you won’t have to worry about it
the kaz mindset
Oh okay
others have stronger opinions I am fine with wood
Sounds good then
hehe... wood
smoof the canvas is a lie tho right like the canvas says 3 PSets a week but the syllabus says 1 pset a week

I also don’t really fw 3 psets a week
also there were so many turkeys and bunnies on campus
it's been a pset a week all year
excellent
I don't think they're changing it
NOT A C YET
and squirrels
if they change it im dropping it just being fr
yet is crazy
C+
ill find another way to fulfill a linear algebra requirement straight to math 55
The class is lecture of section based?
yet is wild
why r u and kaz the same
john harvard jr over here
i seriously cant handle two of you
💀
i had a freshman warn me about him during visitas 💀
you amde the exact joke last time
Kinda disappointing, but Ig I’ll just have to check it out to find out
just stick with albanian or whatever you speak
see me and kace could’ve been two peas in a pod but someone was too sleepy
💀 he ain't that bad idk people just hating on him
😔
I feel like it's been alr
idt theres a pod big enough for the two of u
honestly if you spend ur time here running away from the profs that ppl say are bad you will not be able to find classes to fulfill all ur concentration reqs LMAO
yes many classes here are ass
I am very joepilled tho
Kace getting flamed for not getting out his bed is hilarious
stat110 mentioned
I BORMALLY DO
“Normally”
🔥
oh what my friend took it last sem and he said it was 3 a week
smoof u got me jr fall in stat110 right
THERE WERE PREEXISTING CIRCUMSTANCES TO ME NOT LEAVING MY BED
im a productive citizen
then it must be a different class cause 22a/b are both once a week
^
21a/b is 3x a psets
i contribute to the economy
if I'm back 💀
also kaz is unemployed why does she get an opinion
oh nvm it was 21 lol
Don’t we all?
buying more food isn’t contributing to the economy
22a is still tauight 3 days a week tho just only 1 pset a week
due on tuesday for some reason lol
atleast i can buy food
Does anyone anywhere have info on apmth 22a?
cal
?
scroll up to where i said the story about the dude getting curved from a 94% to a B in APMTH22A lmao
but anyways its only taught in the spring
yeah buddy thats what i thought
That many people getting good grades gotta be wrong😭
ofc you do
huh what time zone are u on
gn
in
ITS A REASONABLE HOUR
Fuck, now that means I gotta take either 21 or 22
????? est where harvard is wdym
gotta be up at 8 am
I hate the 3 psets but love the smaller class sizes
10 hours and 30 minutes of sleep
oops i didn’t know kace was a current student 💀
10:30 is so early
trust the 3 psets IS NOT IT
How long do they each take?
depends on the course
my friend said each pset takes 3 hours is that accurate
depends on the course and ur level
but he also took mvc in hs
21a (that’s the mvc one right)
Also note that 21A and 22A are different.
21A is Multivar. Calc 22A is Linear Algebra (with proofs)
21B is Linear Algebra 22B is Multivar Calc (with proofs)
didnt know if u knew that yet or not
they're flipped between the 21 series and 22 series
idk im not taking multivariable nor would I ever
my friend is in it and it takes him like 7 hours on each pset
LOL
I would rather take more psets if it meant actually understanding the teacher and material
you won't learn any better
😭 what are u taking
21 hrs a week is crazy
i took Calc II last semester (Math 1B) and am in CS20 (Discrete Math) this semester. In Computer Science u only need up to Linear Algebra for mathematical preparation
Oh thank god
Multivar is good for Machine Learning obv, but if I need it I'll learn it in the course that requires it
did u go to monday’s cs20 class
i might’ve seen u LOL
9:45
no i wasnt going with to no Visitas class bro 💀
ok fair
no way TFs took attendance
So far it looks like 22a is the move. I just hope wood turns a new leaf and becomes the best teacher ever
man must’ve sucked that it was so close to y’all’s last day of classes
I mean this week and last week were irrelevant, our last day of learning material that was going to be on the final was not last friday but the friday before
These last two weeks were either review or tying in a little bit of programming into proofs
If you are coming to CS in Harvard be prepared it's math heavy lmao
ooo I’m between Bioengineering or CS atm so I’m expecting heavy math regardless tbh
I'd highly recommend taking CS50 first even if u are too advanced for it (I made a 100 in it never missed a point) bc it's one intro class at Harvard that is all progamming
bc after CS50 it's just proofs/theory
lmao
wait like I would, but I don’t have any programming experience 😭
well besides like silly scratch and stuff
I may self study a basic ass language like python or smth this summer
then do cs50
^
CS50 is the intro intro intro intro intro cs class like the very first one you take
you, in fact, start with scratch
lolll
@dreamy lynx did u take cs50
?
I am in it rn
ahh icic
since I didn't take it in the fall
what is the spring version like
I should've probably
okay I’ll def prioritize taking that one!!
is that the class with that one famous professor guy
no hype
ive heard it's like super trimmed 😦
yea
yes david j malan
WHAT
but basically just recorded lectures then show up to section
wait did u not take it in the fall because the class filled up or bc u just didn’t want to lol
We had a dinner every week, lunch a few times, always had snacks at every lecture pimp 😦
I didn't want to do too much first sem lmao
But, tbh, I just left after half time when snacks were served never stayed for the whole thing
yeah we did NOT have that
I never even watched the lectures after week 5 when they went to recorded ones
yeah icl they got too long
they're not really necessary just read the dev notes
I would play them in the background but lowk didn't get much out of them
Bro if everyone’s going consulting then… aren’t jobs fna run out
up late studying n smoking ✌️✌️
oh yes
isnt it peaceful
just walking around. no where specific.
massachusetts just too chill
smh can’t be as bad as nyu tho right 😭
i smelt it around around campus near the metro stations after 10 pm but actually on campus i didn’t
nah that was all you
most ppl go to the bridge to smoke real weed
like students i mean
so u dont rlly smell it on campus
girl I smelled it at 11am 😭
does anyone have tips for the housing application essay thingy
im just gonna cram as much info as possible in
honestly i might just bullet point lmao, its not like its supposed to be super formal
is it even officially out yet?
wait wtf why is the due date may 15 and they havent even sent out an email
wait was this by harvard hall, hollis, or lionel perchance
just be honest. tbh they won’t even listen to ur preferences lmaoo
eye dee kay ....
ur lying.
they listen to preference quite well in my opinion
I spent like 2hrs on this fuck ass application dont pmo
and I'm not asking for anything unreasonable... just someone nice and not dirty
Just confess atp lil bro
no theres just always a weed smell at the intersection of harvard hall and hollis every morning starting at like 8 am
That’s all you fs
my roommates and i are like complete opposites💀💀
you and M are the same person i dont wanna hear it
ur just less autistic
lowkey idgaf as long as they're clean nice and not loud as shit
those r like the two most common problems
yeah i wish
good luck tho
it might be better w girls but not sure
its not better with girls 💀
hopefully you dont get girls who are always inviting guys over
please GOD 💔
if you don't care about being roomed with the opposite gender...
YOU wish. I will have a perfect roommate experience and nothing will go wrong
they will just put u with girls

Princeton throws more money at students
but harvard has a bigger endowment
plus more aura
im one Bad class away
Mysoginist
yeah
Cute pfp!! I luv eevee
But y’all so live in the trenches
Also Princeton has a bigger endowment per student ratio
oh no the trenches of cambridge MA the horror
no way bro called boston the trenches
princeton NJ has a population of 5
one of which is the jersey devil
💀 💀 💀
cambridge is like boston premium man 😭
the trenches in question
boston but affluent
tysm jazzy queen i Loveee lolly
:3
i went to my friends house once and it was legitimately insane sometimes it feels like a suburb when its its own city
during a hackathon @ mit i was hanging w my friends in their hotel room and even that area was really cool to walk around in since i dont really go to cambridge unless its to go somewhere else 💀 ..
i love cmabridge i can wander around like an idiot at 2am and still feel safer than 8pm in chicago
The dorms are ass 😭💀
so not everyone gets it lmfaoooo
I got kirkland at visitas 😭 😭
it's getting kirky
Damn
no i hate winthrop and i hate formal
and i hate you
??
😮
damn
ITS GETTING STICKY
you got the worst house and based the entire harvard off of it 💀💀💀
im going fete bruzzo
best formal
i dont wanna hear about what goes on in your bedroom buddy
bruh
brother its due in 2 hours
chat the IDOC takes 24 hours at least to verify documents
n im going to smoke🥀🥀
😬😬my time passed since last night then
Yo Chris
yo
Do the athletes get better first year dorms?
no
@worn helm
ur gonna be full pay next year
i tried
cooked
oh imma have to take a leave of absence 😬😭😭😭
and i like living on my own
nah not doxx
Is that crazy?
ur day not startinfg before 8 am here
put max neat
trust me
facts
…
before 10 is now early for me
unless ur a fr athlete then they do have to practice at 6 am
and i used to wake up at 6 every single day
Do athletes have like an unofficial form they all get put into?
even during the summer i woke up at 6 for work
NO BRUZZO
😭😭😭
Damn
I may just try and end up with a another Econ major or gov major
hmmm
?
my next door neighbor is with an athlete and he's NOT an athlete of any sorts
oh idk
maybe hes the outlier
The people are what makes up for it 😂
yea its lowkey cope
but house disparity is real like why is kirk so ahhh but houses like adams exist
wait mine too lmao
remember that ur a girl
and dont forget it.
before 8am and after 1am is insane actually
I did before 8am before 11pm 💜 i love sleeping
do you have other options..
yes….
i fear my mom is not super happy and i would like to save some money if nothing else
im committed to cmu
so like ill be fine but harvard would be nice
oh you have pretty good odds!
COOKED
ok i need to get finalist in that award now
but i have to beat the private school kids 💔
yeah or ur gonna be going to carnegie community college
the horror
I found that message so entertaining i left the bathroom without my washing my hands and had to turn back around
UR NASTY
probably typed that with bathroom hands 💔
OH MY GOD?????
I hope the mods get ur ass
yall harvard would be debt free for me god forbid a girl wants to save money
omg same
i got waitlisted from cmu but that net price was $18k.. it'll be worth it though!
THEY DELETED MY MESSAGE WHAT THE FUCK
THAT WAS SOME DEI
thank you mods!!!
some people just get things handed to them
that shit poofed from harvard overnight
last year stats right?
yeah, that or 27. I forgot
yeah this is not bad at all
@obsidian nexus bro is so sick of school he’s gapping
bro just thinks everyones a man
it's harvard not manvard
har is my favorite gender
har💜
har har har har har har har har har har
LMAOOOOO
i always wanted to gap but finally got around to putting in the request
time to go on some side quests
Ngl this year’s yield is looking pretty good
Everyone in the gcs are mad close, and pretty much everyone I’ve talked to between Harvard and other schools leaning Harvard
I’m pretty sure that happens at every schools admitted students day
Fair, but idk. I feel like this year a lil different. We’ll see tho
Btw wsp Princeton
Sup
I think this years yield will actually be low across the board
I think for Columbia Fs
I’ve seen way too many cross admits
But Harvard’s pushback against trump will work in their favor imo
I’ve seen it too
Most people who got into Harvard and MIT got into like 5-6 other top 10s
Stanford is lowk cooked tho. Literally 60% of ppl I’ve talked to who have Yale and Stanford are choosing Yale
Oh nah😭
From the guys I know between Stanford and Harvard, most of them felt like Stanford was too remote
It’s literally because Yale hosted a 4 day long party for bulldog days
Like it was so big you couldn’t really converse with anyone
Yea same here, Stanford way too far from nj where I live
I saw videos of the Ken Carson concert and the food spectacle
There was a Ken Carson concert 😭
Isn’t Princeton’s thing like 1 day
I forget to apply to Princeton 😭
Yea, the admitted students day wasn’t as good as Stanford or Harvard’s
Harvards wasn’t even crazy tbh, it was mostly random events, mixers, and networking chats with Econ and gov majors
But pton provides the most support to their undergrads out of any other college imo
I thought it was rly good. Lots of free merch. Only thing was I had to live in Kirkland and the hosts roommate smoked weed in the room
Kirkland is like notoriously bad
That’s pretty good tbh. Princeton generally gives more tho
But Harvard has more aura for sure
I forgot it was an Ivy when applying
Nbs
But yeah, Harvard def had a bunch of free shit
The consulting events were chill too
Which consulting events
Also won like a poker set from the quant finance club 😭
Stanford, Caltech, northwestern, Williams
Oh ts
I got Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Penn, Northwestern, Williams, BC, Amherst, and Dartmouth wl
Stacked lineup too
For sure
I also live in Boston, so might as well🤷♂️
Yea it’s almost a no brainer atp
Too bad u chose the enemy 😔
Would have chosen Harvard over pton if I lived in Boston asw
At least it’s not y*le
It’s literally a location thing for me
Ah makes sense too
If I cared more abt getting away from my parents I would’ve chose Yale
Same for me, laundry and at home food are easy to access
FELIPE'S💜
I got like 4 burritos ngl
U Were there?
this is facts
ive seen way more cross admits than previous years
@obsidian nexus why are u gap
got some fun projects i wanna work on
oooo 👀👀👀
except that one guy who chose mit 😔
my friend from my summer program chose stanford 😔
Lol ik like 5 cross admits and ALL are choosing Stanford
what 😭
Tbh i applied early to yale but in theory id pick stanford over it if i didn’t get rejected from both lmao
wait im seeing the opposite lol
ik a person who chose yale over stanford but idt that is the norm
i know 1 person so far that chose yale over stanford
harvard/yale crossadmits are like 60/40 maybe as far as ive seen
That’s lowkey high
For yale
eh
one of my favorite ppl from bdd committed to harvard though 💔
twas so sad
and then pton/yale is 50/50 i think
the one crossadmit i know chose yale tho so
all the abgs choosing yale
this is interesting because stanford wl moves significantly more than yale does
the raw # might be similar though
I got 3 including Harvard 🥀🥀
love being the exception where I only applied to three (though I got into two)
anecdotally though yea, ive talked to a couple kids who clean swept T10 (sans cal usually)
thats good yea
aint no one bring up quincy 😔
what house u get
@rugged vessel can i dm you? sorry for the ping
@rugged vessel can i dm you too
@rugged vessel can I dm you
@rugged vessel yo can i also dm
what the helly
what have i done
Guess who isnt
BIDEN💜
no
i dont think they care ngl
Bet
was jus aboutta ask
can any previous classes verify
bc they dont require self reporting the senior yr score in july right? even though they see the ap exam like on your common app/transcript?
they only require the SAT / ACT score report for enrollment?
Never sent them my AP score report nor did they ever ask
Even tho I self reported all my 5s and the 8 AP exams I took senior yr
you were just trying too hard
8 in a year NOT necessary
i did 8 dual enrollment senior year but thats split by semester atleast, AP is all year 💀
dtm i took 3 aps this year, and micro/macro is split 😭
No I was just aware for colleges to take me seriously coming from my area and background I had to prove that I could handle heavy course load lol
I argued infront of my school board to take every single AP I could
My school offers 0
valid
im taking 5 but at mine aps are also limited
I took all of my APs virtually through a different education institution

aura ngl
my hs didn’t even offer 8 APs LMFAOOOO
i tried self-studying for music theory but the only high school that administered the test near me was like 90min away
Mine too
my school is nice bc they’ll host the exams for me even if they don’t offer it
that’s how i took the csa and comp/us gov exams
fellow harvard cs concentrator incoming
bro i just bombed the test 💀
CSA?
yeah lol
bro CSA is the easiest AP LMAO
Wait no APCSP is the easiest my b
tbf i didn’t take the class and all i did was watch a 90 minute overview the night before
i’m praying for a 2
harvard finna rescind
i’m never gonna touch a computer again
lol
they should’ve made it ap game development instead
i would’ve eaten up
ap c# my beloved
C# is not the goat my friend
me when i lie
it’s so straightforward and easy
looking at java arrays and arrayLists make me want to die
for me its the other way around
i cannot read other ppl's code
but i can write it
WHAT
kaz when he realizes that python is an interpreted language and C# is a compiled language and that an interpreted language is specifically built to be easier to read and write code than a compiled language:

csa is java tho
but lowkey its pretty easy to read
java isnt gonna let you hit brohemoth
c# is so easy to understand collegeboard didnt even bother making a class abt it
yeah its easy to read, but a pain to write
public static void main (String[] args)
luckily they removed this in java 21
ill lowkey miss it
stockholm syndrome
HELP
bro the test was brutal tho
handwriting code was hell on earth
omg that was actually so fun
i felt like alexander hamilton but like a developer
for csp im worried that im gonna forget something really stupid
crazy statement
csp is significantly easier than csa tho you should be fine
no hear me out it's so whimsical to handwrite code
my favorite part is the curly brackets
to each his own ig lol
see everyone says that but i am not good at the non-application parts of programming
but maybe it'll be common sense and ill clutch up
wdym by non-application
the theory behind the programming?
anything that does not directly involve the code . what the helly is unreasonable time
like runtime theoretical problems or
oh yeah you're cooked if you are harvard csing
we do not do code we just do theory LOL
no i'm not cooked i will just be academically challenged in new exciting ways
LOL average mindset of a prefrosh
you'll see.
this is an example of a problem in my CS class
it has a PICTURE! this is great
You don't actually do a real, CS class until Spring if you start with CS50. CS50 is like the beginnig beginning intro, which is actually only applied coding no theory. In the spring you should delve into CS20, which is the beginning of theoretical CS and where you continue off of
the very next problem
this would be light if i was in the class
why is it 1+4+4 points instead of 9 points
Part A is 1 point Part B is 4 points Part C is 4 points
is it by part
come on now you gotta be smarter than that
im a genius
ok so is everyone getting Fs or is there a curve
The class doesn't curve, no
But maybe they will clutch us up and do something nice for us
But otherwise a majority of them will get bad grades yeah
It's a low % of your grade like 15% or 20%, so you can def negate it to some point with the final which is 5% more worth, but not enough to get you back in the B-/B/B+/A-/A range probably
based on how ur saying it im guessing you did not get a bad grade
I was a few standard deviations above, but still not a SUPER amazing grade
Like I was above the point in which they told us was the grade that you should have to "expect to be prepared to move onto the next level courses in CS"
are you gonna say the number or is it secret
Definitely stressed for the final it's on Friday, haven't begun studying yet just took a look at the Spring 2024 exam to show you those problems
Shit looks a little difficult compared to our PSets/Midterm
omg theyoungnerd isn't studying.. you might need a new title
theyoungprocrastinator
I have yet to study for anything here, atleast effectively. I never had to study in high school, so I came here and everybody around me is studying but idek how lmaoo
I usually just end up looking at the solutions to the practice exams the day before the exam which usually gives me a lil boost
Def not effective, nor recommendable, so I'm trying to figure out how to study lmao
yeah that'd probably be a good idea
is cs a weed out concentration or is it not that srs...
Idk I haven't been weeded out so I guess I wouldn't know
I know alot of ppl dropped CS20 so maybe
i knew it was going to be a theory based curriculum but the way ur talking about it has me a little concerned about my choice 
just a teeny bit
you know what i was saying.
CS20 there is 0 coding, I've taken a look at my next classes (CS120, CS61, and Math 22A)
Math 22A is obviously a math class, but it's Lin Alg with Theoretical Proofs and its required by CS
Cs120 is intro to algorithms. I chose CS120 because it has AT LEAST a little bit of application with Python algorithms, but still 2/3's of the course is ENTIRELY math proofs. The other option is CS121 which is ENTIRELY math proofs 0 coding.
CS61, albeit, is Systems Programming so it's mostly all programming thankfully but it's an intro course again and the 2/2 requirement for "Programming" in CS concentration
Honestly, I'll get through it and you probably will too, but all I'm saying don't expect to be good at theory unless you actually have had experience in it because I definitely am not even though I was "cracked" at Math all throughout high school, theory just isn't as easy to click with
Nor expect to code alot in CS atleast until you get through most of the reqs at least
oh theory and i will click
i'll wine and dine her at felipe's
god i miss felipe's
Felipe's was good for a while, I got burnt out on it after Summer + First Sem tho so I refused to eat it this sem lol
i liked it bc it was free
shout out to that one consulting group for hosting the rooftop thingy
What worries you by the way I am talking? Like just that it's heavy math/theory?
i'm not too worried especially since i'm already committed and there's literally no going back now but it is definitely going to be a new thing for me
For sure
Just don't get into a false sense of security when you take CS50, it genuinely was the easiest course ever for me (altho, alot of ppl say it is super hard but ig they just aren't CS people)
I never got less than a 100% on anything + got to be on the news with my final project so thats cool
But it really made me think I was going to do super well throughout all CS classes then I got hit with Discrete Math LOL
well thank you for the warning!
lots of opportunities cancels out the pain and suffering dw
ill have a probably light fall semester then. at least with cs50. idk what the fuck else i have to take
It depends what sem you get placed in for Expos
They will tell you whether you take it in the Fall or Spring
Then unless you made a 5 on a foreign language AP exam or are fluent for some other reason, you will probably take foreign language
but idk some ppl wait until soph
i think it's so funny how i didn't know about the foreign language requirement until visitas🩷and i found out by accident
god im so smart i should go to harvard
hot take
thanks queen
FACTS
same 😭
me too dw lol
it's less of an essay and more of a list of demands
oh
for any current students: Do yall know if we need to send IB scores in the summer? I didn't apply with my predicted grades and afaik AP ppl dont need to send their scores'
Didn’t do IB, but yes, you’ll probably need to send them in July for diploma validation (not for admission reconsideration, but for bureaucratic reasons (enrollment conditions, course placements, etc.))
I heard you have to
do we submit final transcripts if you're waitlisted?
if they request it, yeah! if not. probably not.
lmfao i saw i got an email from them and had a heart attack 💀
What time
around 20 minutes ago
this is how u manipulate everyone to turn down their waitlist spot mhm mhm
Huh I didn’t get an email
i didnt get an email either lmao
can you send screenshot of email
i didnt get anything wtf
you got yale and princeton ur up bro
Honestly I think most ppl didn’t
bro why did they just shave like 5% 💀
Last year they did more idek
just wait until final transcripts lol
im sure therell be a couple ppl that get rescinded bc of bad grades
no like they get released completely when they get this email
i’m pretty sure
it’s shaving the waitlist
I think that email is just a rejection letter ... but that's alleged
It is.
hmm does this mean yield rate will be higher this year
interesting
i thought it’d lowkey be lower with how many prefrosh were saying they were committing elsewhere
maybe you just had all the fat greedy prefrosh on campus who just attend admitted student days to flex
Not necessarily, they send out rejections on May 15th or 16th every year and keep people on. I’m still on as of now
omg i thought this was just a yale thing
because why are you trying to flex on me at YALE admitted student days... we are all at YALE
i dont give a fuck that u got into stanford and harvard and princeton
im fine if i asked u were u got in and u tell me ur deciding. but one kid i met started just talking about how he got into all 30 schools he applied to and how he got into 5 ivies and stanford. bitch idgaf
NO LITERALLY like you can only attend 1 who gaf.
after march the amount of colleges you got into stops being cool . commit .
yeah i think so
like nobody cares lil bro😂😂
i hate kids like that
like i get if u say im deciding between here and here or say im between these 3 and give genuine considerations
but if you list them all just to flex or include schools you’re not even considering or ALREADY COMMITTED SOMEWHERE ELSE …..
i was guilty of "already committed somewhere else" um....
found out this one girl at my school couldnt decide between two schools and decided to put down a deposit to both
oh she going to jail
HELP
just wasting money…
she needs to save that money for when they get her ass
there were some ppl like that at our preview day and they drove us all insane
in my defense im #poor and when i tried to cancel the trips (booked before ivy day) they said they would charge me a couple hundred if i didn't go. so.
yeah this should be a rejection i think they're shaving the waitlist
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
did you get shaved? ☹️
unfortunately not
they will continue to lead me on!
i know a guy who quintuple deposited to wharton dartmouth brown ucsd and uw mad then chose vanderbilt
this might sound evil but it might be a little easier to take the wl as a rejection
-# or extremely easier considering ur #IVYBOUND!
yeah i withdrew
so is he in jail or .
its not illegal
it should be
LMAO
i don't have a reason why i just think it'd be funny
"what are you in for?"
"double depositing"
"indecisive ahhh"
also this is good advice for everybody
if you are on a waitlist you are not attending the school if you are rejected you are also not attending the school
enjoy life gang 🙏
that part!
the waitlists i got honestly . could not bring myself to write the lil paragraph to stay on
i did not gaf
good
fuck cmu & vanderbilt
upenn and columbia waitlisted me too but obviously i opened harvard like 2 minutes later so i did not gaf
rare tho
same except i got into upenn and got waitlisted from those other two
we traded!
😭
good luck to all of the (remaining) harvard waitlist warriors
oh did you not write one either
in addition to you
that makes two
ohh okay this is valid then
what in the world
this is unfortunately not just a yale thing 😭
pretty much any top college
u got those flexers galore
fwiw brown doesn't have a deposit
ah yeah i mean they checked off that i will attend/i will commit thing
penn and or wharton doesn’t have a deposit either
my friend got off harvard wl!
yay for them
Yea same lol
Princeton’s yield rate is definitely tanking
We are losing to Yale 😭
smh
hi what clubs are there...
like
anyone find a list
ii cant seem to access them yet
u need to login with ur harvard thing to see it
i know it wont let me
what r u interested in
theres lile a million clubs
Math, CS, econ and music mostly
I alr know abt debate and a couple music groups more so looking for academic ones
ik abt quant traders, math association, tech for social good, financial analysts, and then 3 main consulting clubs
oh and also women engineer's code
Ohhh thank you
Are there specific clubs that are known to help with getting internships?
No
clubs don’t really help at all, u prob wont even have them on ur resume
What’s your major
Who tryna call Harvard
There’s a Harvard admissions committee meeting today…
I saw this on the website too. Do you think it means they’re gonna be admitting more off the waitlist?
I think so yea
i believe
we are so screwed gangalang
that’s crazy
Holy shit
wtf
https://x.com/AP/status/1925614481108877777
it got blocked already it’s all good
BREAKING: A federal judge blocks immigration authorities from revoking international students' legal status nationwide. Follow live updates. https://t.co/TNjt9PJ27L
That’s for something different
holy
really?
is that bc it says separate court case
Idts
No like that was before they escalated to banning intl students from enrolling
Oh actually? Damn that’s heartbreaking wtf
It won’t hold up tho
It’s pretty scary
When would they decide then? It’s gotta be soon right cuz intl kids need to know wtf to do
my bad gang
💀💀
looks like they don't really consider sat composites, just the highest subsections. so you're a 790r/w 800m student 
Bro anyone who is talking about this in terms of the “waitlist” deserves to be shot into space sorry
I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT OMG
anything that isnt concern and/or compassion can be kept as inside thoughts
why we are the people affected by it
go yell at the cornballs talking abt getting off the waitlist and harvard's yield lowering
the difference is like they expect you to submit all i think?
versus you can submit a "superscore report" that just has the highest scores from both
being shot into space is too much of a thrill for ppl like that
i personally superscored on my common app and they never had any problems with it
i think they just mean "we won't superscore for you"
