gaunt wave
#

admit days drain my social battery so bad

gaunt wave
#

this is just the only active megathread rn

tender light
#

Oh, fair lmao

gaunt wave
#

also i saw eps and was drawn in

#

(i love eps)

real meadow
#

idk I’m a little nervous about the social scene at harvard after visitas, it felt a tad cliquey

gaunt wave
#

same with stanford tbh 😭

molten glen
#

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

gaunt wave
#

but also like i feel like people tend to stick to others they know/the first people they meet at those kinds of events

rugged vessel
#

i wish i didnt take astro 16, and i wish i took italian instead of spanish

gaunt wave
#

its hard to branch out during like a couple days

molten glen
#

#

rugged vessel
#

DAWG IK SPANISH I JUST ENJOY SPANISH CLASSES IN MY LIFE

#

SO I DIDNT TEST OUT I WAS LAZY

#

WHICH IS FINE

gaunt wave
rugged vessel
#

I JUST IDK

#

THE ONE LAST CLASS IS GONNA FIT KINDA AWKWARDLY SOMEWHERE

molten glen
#

IF U KNOW SPANISH WHY DID U DROP THE COURSE INSTEAD OF AN ACTUALLY HARD COURSE???????????????????

gaunt wave
#

it makes the experience like 10x better if you have people to fall back on

rugged vessel
#

huge time commitment

#

like day 1 i had to watch a movie and read 2 articles bruh

real meadow
#

oh 1000% I agree

gaunt wave
molten glen
#

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

real meadow
#

I’m hoping that on campus I’ll be a bit better and forming friendships

rugged vessel
#

I KNOW

#

I PLAYED THE GAME HORRIBLY

#

THATS WHY ITS A REGRET

molten glen
#

its fine

rugged vessel
#

it is

#

cuz listen to this cheat code

molten glen
#

I just finished my language requirement it's glorious I hated every moment of it

rugged vessel
#

i can use italian to fulfill my language req

#

and then use spanish for divisional distribution

molten glen
#

what div distribution does spanish fulfill??

rugged vessel
#

bc its like an artsy spanish course

gaunt wave
rugged vessel
#

like creative writing and performance

flat flame
#

i met a ton of engineering majors somehow and only 1 gov major

molten glen
#

lo

#

l

rugged vessel
#

arts and humanities

flat flame
#

not sure how that happened

rugged vessel
#

but just for the higher level

rugged vessel
molten glen
#

i never want to see or hear another language in a course at harvard ever again

tender light
tender light
#

Almost no engineering and applied math majors

#

Most of them are between Stanford and MIT as well

molten glen
#

tbh you're going surround urself with who u surround urself with i know like hundreds of CS concentrators 💀

rugged vessel
#

i cant even surround myself with eps concentrators theres like 15 currently at the school

tender light
molten glen
#

it's not like everybody who is committing to harvard went to visitas tho

tender light
#

True

molten glen
#

or like you saw everyone

#

just take cs50 automatic AT LEAST 50 CS concentrator friends

gaunt wave
tender light
#

There was just an over saturation of Econ majors I feel

molten glen
#

harvard is #1 for econ so makes sense but usually they fizzle out

rugged vessel
#

they also fizzle in

gaunt wave
#

whenever i think of harvard i just think of econ and gov majors

molten glen
#

lool

rugged vessel
#

a lot of ppl who want a double or joint or are undecided shift to econ

molten glen
#

thats tru

tender light
#

MBB and politicians

molten glen
#

i might take ec10a next spring off cycle

flat flame
#

rejected stanford 😭

tender light
gaunt wave
#

wait ally ru an eps major

molten glen
#

why would u be taking ec10a off cycle

gaunt wave
#

or concentrator whatever it is at harvard

molten glen
#

if ur an econ concentrator?

flat flame
tender light
molten glen
#

nah

rugged vessel
#

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

tender light
molten glen

i'd rather die than take Math 21 or lower again with 3 psets a week

tender light
dreamy lynx
#

I don't say otherwise

molten glen
#

? Smoof said it wasn't all that bad

dreamy lynx
#

I have always said wood has improved from fall to spring

reef grove

dreamy lynx

others have stronger opinions I am fine with wood

tender light
#

Sounds good then

eager sinew
molten glen
#

smoof the canvas is a lie tho right like the canvas says 3 PSets a week but the syllabus says 1 pset a week

dreamy lynx

I also don’t really fw 3 psets a week

also there were so many turkeys and bunnies on campus

dreamy lynx

it's been a pset a week all year

scroll up to where i said the story about the dude getting curved from a 94% to a B in APMTH22A lmao

molten glen

but anyways its only taught in the spring

eager sinew

94% to a B is insane

yeah they just changed it to spring for next year

10 hours and 30 minutes of sleep

10:30 is so early

molten glen
#

wtf

#

LMAO

molten glen
tender light
#

How long do they each take?

molten glen
#

depends on the course

flat flame
#

my friend said each pset takes 3 hours is that accurate

molten glen
#

depends on the course and ur level

flat flame
#

but he also took mvc in hs

flat flame
molten glen
#

didnt know if u knew that yet or not

#

they're flipped between the 21 series and 22 series

tender light
#

Yeah I did, but thanks

#

I just value teaching style

molten glen
#

my friend is in it and it takes him like 7 hours on each pset

#

LOL

tender light
#

I would rather take more psets if it meant actually understanding the teacher and material

molten glen
#

you won't learn any better

flat flame

molten glen
#

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

molten glen
#

Multivar is good for Machine Learning obv, but if I need it I'll learn it in the course that requires it

flat flame
#

i might’ve seen u LOL

#

9:45

molten glen
#

no i wasnt going with to no Visitas class bro 💀

flat flame
#

ok fair

molten glen
#

no way TFs took attendance

tender light
#

So far it looks like 22a is the move. I just hope wood turns a new leaf and becomes the best teacher ever

real meadow
#

man must’ve sucked that it was so close to y’all’s last day of classes

molten glen
#

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

real meadow
#

ooo I’m between Bioengineering or CS atm so I’m expecting heavy math regardless tbh

molten glen
#

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

real meadow
#

well besides like silly scratch and stuff

#

I may self study a basic ass language like python or smth this summer

dreamy lynx
#

then do cs50

real meadow
#

oh ok yay

#

I thought that was the one that needed prerequisites

dreamy lynx
#

cs50 is no exp prior

#

it's also a great community/big class in the fall

molten glen
#

^

molten glen
#

you, in fact, start with scratch

#

lolll

#

@dreamy lynx did u take cs50

#

?

dreamy lynx
dreamy lynx
#

since I didn't take it in the fall

molten glen
#

what is the spring version like

dreamy lynx
#

I should've probably

real meadow
#

okay I’ll def prioritize taking that one!!

dreamy lynx
#

instead of gened or smth

#

spring is mid

real meadow
#

is that the class with that one famous professor guy

dreamy lynx
#

no hype

molten glen
#

ive heard it's like super trimmed 😦

molten glen
dreamy lynx

like we had one dinner

#

half a lunch

#

he brought cupcakes to section once

molten glen
#

WHAT

dreamy lynx
#

but basically just recorded lectures then show up to section

real meadow
#

wait did u not take it in the fall because the class filled up or bc u just didn’t want to lol

molten glen
#

We had a dinner every week, lunch a few times, always had snacks at every lecture pimp 😦

dreamy lynx
#

I didn't want to do too much first sem lmao

molten glen
#

But, tbh, I just left after half time when snacks were served never stayed for the whole thing

molten glen
#

I never even watched the lectures after week 5 when they went to recorded ones

dreamy lynx
#

yeah icl they got too long

molten glen
#

they're not really necessary just read the dev notes

dreamy lynx

I would play them in the background but lowk didn't get much out of them

I’ve seen way too many cross admits

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

tender light

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

The consulting events were chill too

HCG and CBE

I went to both

CBE was more chill cause it was at Felipe’s

Yea idt I went to any of those

I mostly went around to get free food 💀

Besides Harvard, where else did u get in?

I got Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Penn, Northwestern, Williams, BC, Amherst, and Dartmouth wl

U too

Harvard was an easy decision for me

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

There’s no penalty for not doing an AP test right?

i dont think they care ngl

pastel hare
#

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?

molten glen

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

8 in a year NOT necessary

i did 8 dual enrollment senior year but thats split by semester atleast, AP is all year 💀

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

nah i am LIVING that shit rn I'm good at coding not good at theory

i'll fall in love to theory

theory and i will be married by spring

molten glen

this is an example of a problem in my CS class

blazing kite
#

it has a PICTURE! this is great

molten glen
# blazing kite theory and i will be married by spring

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

this would be light if i was in the class

the MEAN on our midterm was a 58 the MEDIAN was a 55

why is it 1+4+4 points instead of 9 points

molten glen

Part A is 1 point Part B is 4 points Part C is 4 points

blazing kite

is it by part

molten glen
#

come on now you gotta be smarter than that

blazing kite
#

im a genius

blazing kite
molten glen
#

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

blazing kite
#

based on how ur saying it im guessing you did not get a bad grade

molten glen
#

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"

blazing kite
#

are you gonna say the number or is it secret

molten glen
#

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

#

molten glen
#

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

blazing kite
#

yeah that'd probably be a good idea

molten glen
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

But yeah, if you like theoretical math proofs you'll like CS here 😄

blazing kite
#

is cs a weed out concentration or is it not that srs...

molten glen
#

Idk I haven't been weeded out so I guess I wouldn't know

#

I know alot of ppl dropped CS20 so maybe

blazing kite
#

just a teeny bit

molten glen
#

Theory based?

#

It is theory my guy

blazing kite
#

you know what i was saying.

molten glen
#

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

blazing kite
#

oh theory and i will click

#

i'll wine and dine her at felipe's

#

god i miss felipe's

molten glen

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

blazing kite
#

i liked it bc it was free

#

shout out to that one consulting group for hosting the rooftop thingy

molten glen
#

What worries you by the way I am talking? Like just that it's heavy math/theory?

blazing kite
#

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

molten glen
#

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

blazing kite
#

well thank you for the warning!

molten glen
#

lots of opportunities cancels out the pain and suffering dw

blazing kite
#

ill have a probably light fall semester then. at least with cs50. idk what the fuck else i have to take

molten glen
#

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

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.))
