fair rampart
#

Pimp is wild

blazing kite
#

i can almost feel her presence

#

she's inside all of us

molten glen
#

Do you guys know like why my friend has an iPhone right and it sent blue messages the whole time during the semester, but now he went back to Thailand and the messages r green

#

Is it just bc he’s intl and I don’t have like intl package with Verizon or is there something I’m doing wrong

blazing kite
#

um did you not see me trying to talk about how jazzy is inside of us . can a girl grieve

molten glen
#

Jazzy will return he cannot be rid

restive raft
blazing kite
#

you forgot the s

molten glen
#

S?

molten glen
#

fair rampart
#

To make she

molten glen
#

Oh lol

restive raft
#

i have two

#

one for the US and one for asia

molten glen
#

ah shit

#

Ok so maybe just dm on insta would be best to get into contact

fair rampart
#

Or WhatsApp if you both have it

restive raft
#

Ya just insta dms thats why i talk to mine on there

molten glen
#

top secret info

fair rampart
#

Fair

molten glen
#

Wtf is an eSIM number

blazing kite
#

its ur ssn just type it here and we'll help

molten glen
#

1-800-988-2300

fair rampart
#

So you can have multiple on one device

molten glen
#

Ohhhhhhh

#

Yeah true I have a digital sim but thought you could only have one

fair rampart
#

Idk at least my iPhone lets me have multiple

#

I think it might be by carrier

molten glen
#

Why would you want multiple tho lol

fair rampart
#

If you go abroad ur gonna get data/text/call charges

#

I forget who but one of yall said a bit upwards you have a us number and one not us number

#

Which would make sense if you often go outside the U.S. to said not U.S. region

molten glen
#

Interesting

#

Going to the Bahamas tmmr am I finna get charged

fair rampart
#

Ik my carrier gives me all of North America in one go

molten glen
#

Verizon?

fair rampart
#

But when I visited Europe once I got a temp eSIM so I did t have to pay like $10 a day

#

Yeah

molten glen
#

Hmm interesting

I’d apply 😎

if you can't send intl msgs or he can't receive them while outside the US

or like everyone else said, if he changed his SIM

#

the comments on this thread are genuinely peak A2C toxic brainrot 😭

blazing kite
#

i hope they delete the waitlist

native solar
#

one of my (ex) friends who was also rejected from the waitlist along with me was complaining that she wished trump did this a few days earlier

#

literally blocked her on the spot 😭

eager sinew
#

this is kinda dumb imo because you cant change what happened and another domestic student will just take the spot anyway

#

like acknowledge how fucked it is but dont screw yourself over with something you cant change

balmy thorn
#

Anyone who got rej from wl what major were u

native solar
#

idk why i applied as that 💀

#

i realized after submitting all of my apps for biomedical engineering that i don’t want to do that 💀💀

#

but don’t they not admit by major??

#

idk i may be wrong

#

i thought it was just based on geographic diversity and stuff like that

balmy thorn
#

But im js asking cuz ik they look at wl by groupings

reef grove
#

you don’t declare a major until sophomore year

#

but like if you put down something sciencey i’m sure they’d prolly want to see some science related things on your application

good school

I didn't get an email

balmy thorn

So far ik some people that had env sci and bme as getting rej, and some cs kids getting in

#

Well I'm intl so it's likely an auto-reject but I'd at least like a rejection 😭

I applied half a year ago

why did they want the prefrosh to drink so bad

hybrid yew

he just kinda said they were trying to get rid of some of their stock (they had a lot) so feel free to take at will

blazing kite
#

they had a . stock ?

restive raft
#

yes a masters still holds weight this is a rlly funny question

smoky solar

and the ppl that are like "applying is also fighting for spots, this is the same thing" like bruh

#

I applied to 11 schools and i would have been thrilled to go to 11 of them

blazing kite
#

i literally didn't allow myself to have any hope for anything that wasn't uf 💜 so i was only active in that thread and nowhere else

#

like i think if a2cers set realistic expectations then they'd be happier or at least more content with the outcome they receive

blazing kite

#

most of us here are prefrosh so none of us can give you a solid answer. rather than boxing yourself into one thing, i would take your time at vandy to really explore what you need to further yourself and what you’re genuinely interested in doing

#

i don't think much of anything 💜

native solar
#

if you are interested in a master’s program, then awesome. but harvard is not the end all be all

#

especially on a premed track

#

(i keep stalking the harvard chat because princeton is constantly dead)

extremely common princeton L

Ok buddy

#

The less yap the more aura

native solar
#

they’re all busy locking in

#

which is why pton chat is dead

smoky solar
#

like we have an overenrollment program

#

i feel like many people see waitlist as a deferral instead of literally a list of people waiting

#

and think writing one more good essay will get them in

blazing kite
smoky solar
#

logistically it is so unlikely

blazing kite
#

isn't cmu waitlist like . 0.3% acceptance rate

#

i remember being put on it, googling that shit, and going "oh that's a rejection"

smoky solar
#

i don't even know

blazing kite
smoky solar

but it's always scs people asking and scs always overenroll

not that the other schools don't

Top ranked schools are also ranked as such for reasons outside of name recognition or prestige, its 100% understandable to be sad because the school you’re attending doesn’t have a specific program or opportunity, maturity is just being able to get over that and accept where you will be attending

blazing kite
#

-# even the dookie state school that everyone and their mother attends..... @usf

viral thorn
#

Like you picked those schools and you should be willing and prepared to attend them

#

that doesn't necessarily mean excited

blazing kite
#

"ugh i am a failure. i only got a full ride to a t50. why am i not good enough for hypsm?"

#

that post pmo im glad they deleted it

balmy thorn
#

I mean yes but in fairness to them this is all easy for you to say this stuff when you’re going to Harvard bruh

hybrid yew
#

As i said i know its way easier for us to say though

#

Except if you’re one of those people complaining about having to “just go to Rice or Vanderbilt”

viral thorn
#

You can be disappointed and also still make an effort to be excited for ur school

blazing kite
#

my tears ain't even pre-load i was just opening shit like "well its over! we had a good run!"

#

while we're on this topic though . is anyone else getting that experience of their advice being null bc they're ivy-bound? i could say "make sure to study for your sat!" and the response would be "well you're going to harvard so it must be easier for you" like don't pmo

#

i think underclassmen shading a T20 is dumb but they are all very confident about their chances at hypsm so

native solar
#

and when i refused to tell them, they were like “pack it up, you probably go to your community college” and stopped listening to me 💀

balmy thorn
fair rampart
#

Wouldn’t you have been accepted by now

#

The apps have been closed for months for college students

#

Actually I don’t even think you’d be eligible

blazing kite
fair rampart
#

You have to be a current freshmen at the time of applying

#

Or sophomore or junior

#

Unless the guy’s server roles are just off by a couple years

#

But I assumed they applied this past year to college

blazing kite
#

i know an application went out to hsfs for ... something

#

it mightve been that

fair rampart
#

IIRC it was for ambassadors

blazing kite
#

yeah then maybe that's what they meant

fair rampart
#

My last AF interview was about 6 weeks ago

balmy thorn
fair rampart
#

And MAT turnaround time is dogwater but it’s not that dogwater

balmy thorn
#

Like starting in 2026

#

For ‘27 app cycle

blazing kite
#

you just signed up for something? 💔

fair rampart
#

They haven’t even started recruiting general AFs for 2026-2027 yet

#

And typically RAFs are after that

blazing kite
#

what is an raf

fair rampart
#

Returning advising fellow

blazing kite
#

ok tea my af might be one of those

#

might be he said his hsfs pmo

fair rampart
#

Lmfao fair

#

I had a bunch ghost me

blazing kite
#

he said his other ones just didn't do jack

#

i was the favorite 🩷

fair rampart
#

Usually the gist was 2-3 meetings camera off and then no response

blazing kite
#

oh we met consistently 1-2 times a month for a little over a year

#

that's my day 1

fair rampart
#

That’s nice

#

Prefer those stories

blazing kite
#

wait what happens if they ghost

#

do you just not get new ones

fair rampart
#

We’re supposed to contact them over email/text/call for 4 days straight and if still no response we file an unresponsive HSF note at which point they stay on our portals for a bit before dropping off and typically eventually get replaced

#

One time they replaced one of mine with a girl who had an AF before me but the AF requested she get transferred to someone who had knowledge in a specific area that i very much did not

#

So no clue why I received the HSF

blazing kite
#

what did she want knowledge on...

fair rampart
#

She was looking for financial aid help which I’ve never been good at especially bc there were some parent loans some schools wanted her to take but she had mentioned her parents weren’t up for it

blazing kite
#

oh . yeah i wouldn't be any help either

#

at least not before lots of googling

fair rampart
#

My main success story was my HSF who matched with Yale but that was honestly completely her own merit

#

I barely edited her essay bc I just felt it was solid as it was

#

I think the most I did was give her a few general narrative pointers

blazing kite
#

yeah that's how it is tbh

#

i just had my AF for general information bc first gen and also for accountability

PEOPLE ARE THROWING SHADE FOR A FULL RIDE TO VANDY?????

The only school I have real beef with now is Y*le and MIT Sloane

#

I thought Fleet Street was a comedy a cappella group? WELL THINK AGAIN because these bars are no joke.

Harvard is broadly considered around the #1 university in the world, so we thought they could take lines like...
Yo biologists so dumb, they cannot even tell
the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

idk why they named them these weird ass names tho 💀💀💀

Some pre-os are cult like

wet owl
#

lmfao which ones

broken escarp
#

FOP and LIFE

#

F@P is cool but very intensive

#

(Substitute the @ with an A; it triggers automod) (I know it’s a poor name choice)

#

SPARK is probs the best from what I’ve heard

#

I did FIP but that’s because I’m internationnel

blazing kite
#

did pre-o applications open?

#

ik they extended it but i didnt see an update email 💔

its a completely separate thing

im so excited to apply for literally everything ugh

i did half of it normally, went to save it, and the entire thing deleted

i should start 💀

i also found that i gained like 100 words after switching to speech to text

I must be confusing that with the other one then

it sounds like it could be a pre o lmao

The public service thing

Whatever that is

Most of the Brazilians have this fuckass one

#

FUP

broken escarp
#

She’s very nice

#

But doesn’t know any class requirements

#

So your best bet is asking around upperclassmen

#

Though it depends on your concentration, if it’s STEM, the CAs/TFs are mostly undergrads, so they have the latest information and interdepartmental gossip that can be v useful for picking classes

#

If it’s social/humanities related then you’re more fucked since student advice can sometimes be outdated

broken escarp
#

If you’re gov then you have to rely on the IOP mafia for most things…

it’s okay i’m probably going to join the IOP mafia

i’m applying for some of their summer comps

Best of luck 💔

#

Just do fop and call it a day

#

Everything else is fake and can be experienced when you’re an undergrad

#

I guess fop can too if you join harvard outdoor club but still

#

1 week with incoming freshman in middle of nowhere with no devices (except cameras) is buss

#

plus you get to carry backpacks, sing songs, and get cool views

#

They have different level backpacking (easy, med, hard) so you can choose whatever level you want

Idt i ever saw you, but i haven’t messaged in here for a while

-# they subsidize based on aid but if ur aid is . questionable . and you dont have the money . its a thing to keep in mind

Sleeping on the tarp under the tent on the edge was one of the best sleeps I think i ever got in my entire life

#

like camping is fun but if i have to do it with like 100 other ppl???

#

that’s kinda crazy

#

i wanna do LIFE but yeah i’m getting what you’re saying

tribal ingot
#

you’re split into groups of 7-8 people

blazing kite
tribal ingot
#

There’s like 500 people that do fop total and then like 50 groups that go to different places/hikes

#

you meet in front of widener and get sorted into your group the day before you leave and meet everyone and your group leaders

#

usually there are 2 group leaders and then 7-8 undergrads so total 10 people

blazing kite
#

isnt there no showering during fop

eager sinew
blazing kite
#

ur funny but im going to be a minority and shower

reef grove
#

i might put FOP as second choice in that case, but i don’t think it’s the kind of pre o you get put in unless it’s your top pick lmao

#

it’s just too popular

#

If FIP wasn’t so important I’d have just skipped tbh

#

That’s what my friend’s roommate did

#

Cause the so called berg window (the time you get to sit at any table and make friends at the freshman dining hall) is pretty wide I’d say

molten glen
#

Wdym

#

Isn’t FIP the arts one

broken escarp
#

Personally I think FOMO was the most effective convincing mechanism for me

broken escarp
#

That’s F@P

#

FIP is international

broken escarp
#

F@P is insane tho

#

Such an intensive schedule

blazing kite
#

i heard theyre all kinda weird but i dont gaf

broken escarp
#

I’d never do that

broken escarp
#

From what I’ve seen one’s social life will be mostly determined by: a) your nationality/ethnicity or which region you come from the US; and b) the quality/cohesion of such national/regional/ethnic group

#

For example:

  • Latin Americans (except Brazilians) can either join the Mexico association (HUMAS) (if they’re Mexican), but that’s a horribly disorganized group; or the organization for LatAm (HOLA), which is infested by private school rich kids from LatAm (and Spain lol) and is pretty elitist
#

But intl’s mostly hang out with intl’s and vice-versa

#

There’s also a few regional mafias (Texans and Californians)

#

Or concentration-based social options (like HMUN and HNMUN, I absolutely recommend doing at least one if you’re into Model UN or wanna try something out)

molten glen
#

You’ve yet to say my group 😔

blazing kite
#

everyone has a spot

broken escarp
#

Still on this, student orgs are massively hit or miss even within their ranks. For instance, your immediate superiors and high ranking student staff can make or break your experience. In a same org I got to travel to Prague for free and work my ass off in a term to simply having two meetings and no presentations in another

broken escarp
broken escarp
#

Usually, at least

#

I’ve met some pretty amazing people that way though

#

But most are these HUA people

#

So yeah…

blazing kite
broken escarp
#

Even more so than the average undergrad

#

Of course, I’m making somewhat hasty generalizations but that’s the fun in giving out advice 😍

Elections are always weird

#

People don’t bother with it anymore

#

In fact the previous representation entity (the Council) was dismantled by two co-presidents who ran on a ticket defined by “this thing is a mess and is more annoying than useful let’s end it”

#

So the current HUA is a less powerful student gov thing

#

But since Harvard people are obsessed with glitzy titles there are always a couple of tickets on the ballot

this is separate from the visa thing from a couple weeks ago

this one is an executive order that specifically targets incoming freshmen

i’m not abt to do good on this math placement exam

#

calculus without a calculator 😭 i’m fried

#

i’m procrastinating it

#

lmk how it goes lol

#

is there mvc on it? idk how far up it goes

reef grove
#

only the first one is required apparently

flat flame
#

oh alr that’s not bad

#

although i forgot everything about series 💀 it’s been 2 years

eager sinew

no harvard calc or linalg class allows a calc 💀

ah hell nah

EXCUSE ME

molten glen
#

I don't think any lol

#

Discrete Math doesn't allow it either

eager sinew
#

idt calculators are even helpful for calculus

molten glen
#

nah they def r

eager sinew
#

ive never experienced calculus with a calculator so idk what im missing

molten glen
#

texas instrument calculators specifically can do derivatives and integrals themselves lmao + the graphing functionality

#

the graphing functionality in specific would make a math 1b exam a piece of cake LMAO

how is summer 1b?

oh

i’m still reeling from the no calculator thing

i’m gonna have to wave a teary goodbye to my ti 84

all my little programs, no longer used

molten glen
#

you can use it on the psets tho in ur dorm

#

but i would highly recommend not, or else you lknow you don't know how to do it on the exam

@dreamy lynx does stat 110 let u use a calculator?

#

what are u studying

molten glen
#

could be wrong tho

#

I mean tbh most of the arithmetic necessary wasn't actually difficult until some questions in discrete math. Altho this may not be a problem for ya'll bc it stems from my lack of good educational background lol

worn helm
#

but 1b is doable no calc

#

sometimes they’ll ask you just to set up the integral without having to solve bc they realize you don’t have a calc

#

@worn helm have u heard anything about the intl? Like is harvard telling them to come back early/now before they go to like trial?

#

I’m worried abt my friend

#

He’s a G and if anyone deserves to be at harvard it’s fr him

worn helm
#

what some people are doing is they’re trying to stay on campus to not have to re-enter and potentially be shut out

#

nobody in the gc has been shut out yet, most likely because trump’s exec orders keep getting blocked

#

harvard is suing so we have to wait and see

#

i have some intl friends who went back home, they’re also just waiting to see if they can get back when the semester starts

#

everything is sorta in limbo rn which sucks bc it’s just wait and see

#

was it an email from the federal gov?

molten glen
#

Yur notification regarding his visa

#

Maybe it wasn’t that tho he might just not know a lot abt like the wording US Gov used and it’s probably just propaganda meant to scare

worn helm
#

because i haven’t heard of this email sent to anyone else

#

your friend is on F1 right?

#

as of now, I don’t think any f1s have been cancelled but not completely sure

#

if i were him, i’d try to reach out to the intl office and show them the email

#

i’d also tell him to ask of he should come back to harvard rn while the executive orders are currently blocked

worn helm
#

wishing the best for him tho

molten glen
#

Ik

#

I told him to contact harvard intl office and asked if he was thinking abt coming back now before they actually go to trial

#

I can’t text him tho for some reason now so I DMed on insta

ohh okay

whats the difference between taking expos20 and hum10+10b?

#

is one harder than the other or better for humanities majors

dreamy lynx
#

hum 10 is if you love reading

#

or humanities

#

idk I didn't touch it at all too much reading

reef grove
#

apparently u dont have to take expos 20

dreamy lynx
#

if you take hum 10 I think

reef grove
#

hum 10+b counts for the requirement

#

if u take both semesters

dreamy lynx
#

yeah but that is just like

#

more work

reef grove
#

lmao

dreamy lynx
#

unless you want to take hum 10

#

I wouldn't do it to fill a one semester req lol

icic

worn helm
reef grove
#

not bc of the reading schedule but like, how can you have a productive discussion about a book in only a week

#

like i feel the discussions would have to be very general and face-value

#

you can’t really analyze the book chapter by chapter if you read it all at once

worn helm
#

i agree

#

i may be exaggerating but that’s what the students in it told me

wet owl
#

Is physics 15 bad?

#

yeah sounds like hum10

would've expected them to make you read all through the summer icl

#

with the way i was procrastinating over the summer that seems completely normal to me 💀

i forgot so much of the content in part 3 it’s insane

i am not a yapper unfortunately

i think its 3 sections and 2 are calculus so just do the 1st one which (according to the website) is basic math

flat flame

the first section is like sat math

#

second is calc 1/calc ab

#

third is calc 2/calc bc

but tbf it’s all recommendation anyway

i have a “quantitative reasoning” requirement that could be fulfilled by basically any econ/pol sci class

i wanna take as many challenging classes as possible to explore a bunch of different avenues

bc i might end up liking math more than gov, i can’t know until i try yk

and i want to place high so that i don’t close any doors prematurely

as a cs major mind you

if u did decently on sat math ur def getting into at least 1a

OH THANK GOD

used to pray for times like this

does the writing exam actually take 7 hours 😭
