they said late july early august assuming nothing changes
That intl thing was wack I spam called my friend no answer 😦
Filipino?
IS IT??
No
:(
😦 fr
What yall do to Chloe up here
The harvard thread is meant to transcend the Neanderthals in Yale and Columbia
(And all other threads)
Lmfao
ok we get it u work at amazon. should we throw a party. do u wanna invite mr bezos
yes
so much free food from parties at zon
you should really try to join once you drop out
security guard team always hiring
ok so basically jazzy got banned after cooking on the harvard intl situation and then we were like "omg chloe bring awareness queen" and then like yeah
Yall banned my pimp jazzy J
name a time and place we are scrapping in the fall
YES PIMP JAZZY J 💔
Lol
Im crying
Pimp is wild
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
um did you not see me trying to talk about how jazzy is inside of us . can a girl grieve
Jazzy will return he cannot be rid
He might have changed his esim number
you forgot the s
S?
she cannot be rid
huh
Or WhatsApp if you both have it
Ya just insta dms thats why i talk to mine on there
Fair
Wtf is an eSIM number
its ur ssn just type it here and we'll help
1-800-988-2300
Basically it’s a SIM card but you don’t need a physical version
So you can have multiple on one device
Why would you want multiple tho lol
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
Ik my carrier gives me all of North America in one go
Verizon?
But when I visited Europe once I got a temp eSIM so I did t have to pay like $10 a day
Yeah
no way you shortened amazon to zon 😭
bro cannot be that lazy as a software engineer
his whole life is typing shit
cs majors r supposed to have 300wpm
yes🩷 #outthecloset
i do not support you
can you go back in?
I’d apply 😎
I don’t know if I count as qualified actually my experience constitutes moderating for Smogon and I don’t know if I’ve been warned before
What calendar are you on
yes, probably
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
mine :3
the comments on this thread are genuinely peak A2C toxic brainrot 😭
i hope they delete the waitlist
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 😭
Insane
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
Anyone who got rej from wl what major were u
biomedical engineering
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
They consider major still
But im js asking cuz ik they look at wl by groupings
LMAO
REAL
they don’t admit by major no
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
some of these comments are insane
we are not beating the elitist allegations
Wait they sent a reply alr?
How do you check?
I didn't get an email
On the 15th
So far ik some people that had env sci and bme as getting rej, and some cs kids getting in
Email?
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
Portal update I heard
email and portal update
lmao what
An acceptance letter.
oh it got deletd
💀💀💀
yea no talking about the stuff that affects more than a fourth of the university itself
oh ur FUNNYYY
does someone have the archived post
someone didnt get into any ivies and had to settle at a full ride at a t50 (GOD FORBID!!!!!!!!!) and threw a lil pity party it seems
omg its giving the mit crashout
like it’s insane college brainrot to see people’s lives get upended and your first thought is “this may cause waitlist movement in 2028”
it’s so much funnier when i see posts like that now bc im like “it’s just a bunch of normal ass highschoolers” 😭
NO LITERALLY
going to visitas was so comforting bc everyone was just... normal
like yall know italian brainrot 🩷
my roommate put me on❤️❤️
tung tung tung sahur or ballerina cappuccina?
ALL OF THEM
my fav was tralalelo tralala
the dudes i waited out in the cold with bitched to me, my visitas host tried to get me and the other 11 kids (weird situation) drunk, etc. Visitas was so good bc it felt so normal and non-stereotypical
stereotypical but in that regular college way tbh
why did they want the prefrosh to drink so bad
nah he was chill
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
they had a . stock ?
yes a masters still holds weight this is a rlly funny question
literally
and the ppl that are like "applying is also fighting for spots, this is the same thing" like bruh
are you AI
have some humanity
lets be fr, being this worried about waitlists and its damn near june is sad .. like if you dont just commit to whatever college you got into and move on
like i get it’s easy for us to say, but the people who are super unhappy with their commitment and are desperate for a waitlist probably just built their list around prestige and nothing else
I applied to 11 schools and i would have been thrilled to go to 11 of them
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
mind you the waitlists at these prestigious schools are lowkey impossible to get off of
we’re lucky ig bc our state schools were UVA and UF, but even then I had the mindset that UVA wasn’t guaranteed in the slightest so i had to be happy with my backups
exactly
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 feel like i would be so guilty if i got off the waitlist bc of this
i don't think much of anything 💜
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)
common princeton L
extremely common princeton L
honestly the amt of daily discourse over cmu waitlist is
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
this is a funny way to say ur community is mid
logistically it is so unlikely
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"
i don't even know
whose side on you on.
but it's always scs people asking and scs always overenroll
not that the other schools don't
oh yeah as cs i DEFINITELY kept my hopes in hell after seeing that waitlist
princeton reunions >>>
harvard rejected me after leading me on for 2 months 💔 go tigers rahhhh
if the only thing you have to look forward to as a prefrosh is a reunion... 
nah im saying how can the community be mid when the reunions are so much better than every other school's
bc that's the only thing they have to look forward to . duh!
ill let you slide bc ur cool
because everyone’s so hype to have left pton 💔
genuinely it’s crazy
save all of this negative energy for harvard v yale
princeton didn’t do anything to u guys ☹️
i have more than enough hate in my heart for all of you 🩷
harvard v yale game is 2 days after my birthday im so excited
where is bro going to school
mooup our goat
Probably stanford
why didn’t you choose stanford
Too far
I agree with this I think that people should have accepted where they are going by now
But I don’t think it’s fair to expect people to be equally excited for every school
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
i think maybe a better way to put it is like... you are applying to these schools. expect to attend one. it could be any of them.
-# even the dookie state school that everyone and their mother attends..... @usf
Yeah I agree with this take I don't get people who act like they got rejected everywhere and have nowhere to go to college when they got into multiple safeties
Like you picked those schools and you should be willing and prepared to attend them
that doesn't necessarily mean excited
"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
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
i dont
that’s completely fair, i just always get bad vibes from the people who constantly spam about the HYPSM waitlist and act like their current school is just their backup. Like you should be joining admitted students gc’s and finding friends/roommates instead of spending a ton of time worrying about a school you were already not accepted to imo
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”
Yeah I don’t fw this at all I think that there’s balance
You can be disappointed and also still make an effort to be excited for ur school
you say that but i was literally set on going to my state school for the longest time bc i kept my expectations in hell after submitting my applications. i literally cried when i opened my acceptance to uf but didn't cry for my ivy acceptances bc i literally didn't think it would happen 🩷
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
Not going to an Ivy but I think it goes both ways ppl also lend you more credibility when it comes to college app topics
you know what fair
I get a 50/50 on ppl shading my school or respecting it
ngl
maybe 25/75
i think underclassmen shading a T20 is dumb but they are all very confident about their chances at hypsm so
BRO i was giving some people advice about how to go about the college admissions cycle (general tips and stuff) and they’re always like “ohh that’s super cool… which college are you admitted to btw?” AS IF THE SCHOOL I GO TO GIVES ME SOME KIND OF CREDIBILITY
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 💀
two sides of the same fuckass coin 💔
proud to be going to cambridge community college!
Where are u going
ymu
Yale Marymount university?
your mom university 🤓🤓😈
raw asf
underclassmen who think they have the right to judge other people for school prestige are another breed
this gave me a chuckle
going to clown school i imagine
I was so dead inside by Ivy day that when I opened my acceptances I didn’t even feel happy I just felt relief
this is so real 😭 i feel like this is my biggest issue with hs seniors/college freshmen offering consulting services
like your sole qualification is getting into a prestigious college but you don’t know whether you got in because or in spite of something
so deadass real
offering consulting services btw . send $100 and ill just dm you an invite link to this server
also watching elise pham videos lowkey just made me overthink more like DAMN wdym follow a formula??
i had cried everything out 30m prior to opening decisions ngl 🩷
I feel like the standards for a low acceptance rate have been weirdly inflated too, people ik were talking about how Cornell/Northwestern/Vanderbilt/Dartmouth are “easy” to get into if you have good grades and extracurriculars and I was like huhhh 😭
YEAHHG people rlly think that hypsm are the only difficult top schools to get into and the rest are easy
I genuinely don’t know how this became a widely held perception like a 7% acceptance rate still means that 93% of students are rejected 😭
Wait I feel like this is okay but maybe I’m biased since I offer it lol
you offer a paid consulting service? 
Nah free
Ig but I have a whole kinda program ig
omg girl i signed up for a consultation with elise pham over the summer and instead of getting her i just got a random person that worked with her 😭 and they also sent me a testimonial folder and most of the testimonials were screenshots from like the same 4-5 applicants
oooo 👀 if it’s totally free then that’s really cool
matriculate is the loml
thinking about how i may actually see homegirl irl in the flesh .
HELPPP OMG
THAT WOULD BE SO FUNNY LMAOOOO
pls let us know if that happens
lowkey i wonder what it’s like being classmates with her
i heard she's like . not the nicest but also not the meanest
Ye I applied to matriculate for next year!
Yup it is!
Wym
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
why would they not be eligible?
Matriculate doesn’t accept incoming freshmen as advising fellows
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
IIRC it was for ambassadors
yeah then maybe that's what they meant
My last AF interview was about 6 weeks ago
I filled out some form for 2026 idk
And MAT turnaround time is dogwater but it’s not that dogwater
you just signed up for something? 💔
They haven’t even started recruiting general AFs for 2026-2027 yet
And typically RAFs are after that
what is an raf
Returning advising fellow
Usually the gist was 2-3 meetings camera off and then no response
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
what did she want knowledge on...
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
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
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?????
you’re winning in life, don’t listen to others 😭😭🙏
wait until they get their results.
all these underclassmen who talked mess about how harvard is easy to get into . trust i WILL be checking your instagram bios next year
they're a2cers
ppl who do this are legit incomprehensible to me
they the type of kids who'd transfer from Harvard to Princeton bc USNWR says its better
yes guys, transfer to princeton‼️‼️‼️ go tigers rahhhh
that’s completely fair
Credit though Nashville is beautiful
like everyone says it but jfc
just as long as it’s not the new haven school for witchcraft and devil worship
Facts
glad we can find some common ground
yeah but in like a fun way
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.

R...
Woah now…
Lots of words from cambridge community college
yeah we need to fight irl
33% of your motto is copied from ours
Looks like Harvard class is full according to someone on cc who called
makes sense with what happened at the hearing today
Did this acc happen
on the a2c reddit. but they deleted it
Ok #1 school in massachussetts
Oh wait...
(Only time I can pretend to like MIT is when shitting on harvard)
well there isn't shit in connecticut .
even yale can be #1 in that state
previously there was paige bueckers in Connecticut (this is tragically no longer true)
my point stands
I mean the rest of the uconn women’s basketball team is still pretty based maybe we should award uconn the title of #1 university in Connecticut
this is blatant UConn erasure
they got way more nattys than yale does in the past ten years
for pre-o do u know if its like competitive
boo yale
JD Vance ahhh school
#1 most pretentious Ivy
S tier on the sellout list
and how many nattys does harvard have…
s tier in the sellout list coming from princeton 💀
school has a whole major just for quant
we don’t claim him
depends on the pre-o
1/3 of students dont or cant do a pre-o i believe
isn't it like 70% do pre-o? if ur fgli, that one isn't competitive
allegedly
which ones are competitive?
i heard only half of people who apply for fop get it bc it’s so popular
but i think its lottery
Most are not really competitive at all
as long as you try somewhat on the application you will probably get it
(first yr out door program and first yr arts program)
Also congrats on harvard!
i think i wanna do the LIFE one
idk why they named them these weird ass names tho 💀💀💀
yeah i can see why
Some pre-os are cult like
lmfao which ones
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
spark isnt a pre o tho
its a completely separate thing
its not on the my.harvard checklist so i dont think so
im so excited to apply for literally everything ugh
if u want more pre-o takes ik jazzy has like . all the answers ever. she told me a lot of good stuff on call but i truthfully forgot a LOT of it 💗
REAL
-# except academic advising bc i still havent done those long ass responses . um
😭
honestly what helped me was doing speech to text
i did half of it normally, went to save it, and the entire thing deleted
so i just speech to texted what i remembered and proofread it
very effective and i didnt have to type a whole lot
oh ur so smart u should go 2 harvard i think
no way why didnt i think of that
oh that’s so smart
how much did u write for each one
i should start 💀
around 200-300 words per but im a yapper
i also found that i gained like 100 words after switching to speech to text
so around like 6-10 sentences for each one
i heard other ppl only wrote 1-5 sentences per tho
i’m lwk gonna be like them 😭
also i heard that the academic advisors don’t do much
for real or for fake
telling me this after i too yapped in the responses
for real 💀 heard it from my friend who’s a freshman
You talk to them twice a year mandatorily (talked to mine four times a year)
overachiever over here
i talk to mine a lot cus shes my proctor too
i be texting her
imma do this one is it good?
does anyone have takes on the host family program bc i ! do not get it 🩷
Isn’t it? Though it was
Eh I mean
it’s a 6 week paid internship throughout the month of july
I must be confusing that with the other one then
It depends on who yours is
Some advisors are dogshit
i think it’s LIFE, FOP, F@P, FIP, FYRE, and one other idr
Most of the Brazilians have this fuckass one
FUP
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
Same thing for bio, undergrads can work at labs so they have more complete info
If you’re gov then you have to rely on the IOP mafia for most things…
ohh
💔
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
Do you go here?
Idt i ever saw you, but i haven’t messaged in here for a while
fop is the only paid pre-o at $475 btw
-# they subsidize based on aid but if ur aid is . questionable . and you dont have the money . its a thing to keep in mind
There is fin aid and you can borrow gear from them, i think the gear cost is included in the total cost but if you borrow it and return you pay nothing
yeah thats what i said in the little side note text
but i am NOT doing fop . its too outdoorsy for me
Fair
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
Oh yeah I just meant official meetings. I texted mine a lot while making my final class decisions
well yeah but isn’t it like a bunch of ppl that do it
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
No
you’re split into groups of 7-8 people
im signing up for fup/fyre, i wanted to do life but i heard its a LOT of presentations and workshops . like a LOT
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
isnt there no showering during fop
gotta get used to it if youre majoring in cs
ur funny but im going to be a minority and shower
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
I’ve heard FYRE is fun but the leader grsduated which is sad one of the leaders was an absolute G
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
Personally I think FOMO was the most effective convincing mechanism for me
darn
i heard theyre all kinda weird but i dont gaf
I’d never do that
Yeh kinda
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)
You’ve yet to say my group 😔
oh i meant the fyre leaders but yeah <3
everyone has a spot
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
Which one
Oh yeah but all the pre-o upperclassmen volunteers err on the side of cringeness
Usually, at least
I’ve met some pretty amazing people that way though
But most are these HUA people
So yeah…
whats wrong with them....
Overachieving self absorbed people
Even more so than the average undergrad
Of course, I’m making somewhat hasty generalizations but that’s the fun in giving out advice 😍
you know what hell yeah
is hua like . exclusive . is that why theyre like that
Kinda
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
why is it so important?
They take you to do important stuff (get a US phone number, open up a bank account, etc)
And teach you the basics of life in the US
You can do these things on your own but they’re significantly easier to do within FIP
Np 🙏
i want to do fop but like if its competitive...
i mean worst that can happen is you get your second choice
yeah, everyone gets a ranked 1 and 2 choice
is everyone interested in fop here just... regular campers/backpackers/hikers? i feel like im missing something
i’m not even an outdoors person it just seems fun lol
the closest thing i do is indoor climbing
week long no phone retreat sounds pretty sweet ngl
i’m going for LIFE tho
it does . but
ive never been actually camping
lmao
yes this but im gonna need to get a digi
someones gonna have to keep up w my two snap streaks tho cuz theyre 700 days and i cant lose them.
me me me
i’m putting first choice as site based
me neither 💀
i thought about it but ngl future me without running water and a bed would be mad at current me
7-9 hours of hiking seems brutal
SEE this is why im doing . literally anything else
i get lightheaded so easily too . id rather not have my first time in front of my peers end in an urgent care visit how embarrassing
it lowkey is 😭😭
but it’s fun
i heard there was like a 40 something percent acceptance rate last year bc so many people wanted to do it
New EO…
i think u can choose the opt thats 4-6 tho canr u
Ugh
It got blocked so all good
temporarily
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
if there is it isnt on the list of things to expect lol
only the first one is required apparently
thats all of the classes
no harvard calc or linalg class allows a calc 💀
EXCUSE ME
what math class does allow a calculator?
I don't think any lol
Discrete Math doesn't allow it either
no idea i assume if u get high enough u might need like a desmos for smth
idt calculators are even helpful for calculus
nah they def r
ive never experienced calculus with a calculator so idk what im missing
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
fair
how is summer 1b?
oh
makes sense i was wondering why you still seemed happy
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
yeah no ti-84s
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?
bye i literally begged for mine with the justification that id use it for college
wtffff
not even a simple calc just for basic stuff😭
Have you guys met john harvard yet
nope 😔
my grandpa? ofc
in stat 110? yeah probs not unless you're bad at basic arithmetic 
I won't lie to you @dreamy lynx, on my last final exam I messed up the order of operations LMAOOO
It’s okay I messed up like most of my finals🥀
im cooked 💀
I believe he is studying CS/MechE
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
yea lowkey i didn’t take discrete so can’t comment
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
you’ll be fine twin
@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
haven’t heard much yet. i’m in the INTL gc and they’re just as unsure as I am
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
Mine said he got notified he couldn’t return and I was like whatchu mean bitch
notified how so?
Dept of whatever
😬😬
State
was it an email from the federal gov?
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
right it might be some trump fear mongering bs
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
because what if he passes another order and ur friend can’t return in the fall
wishing the best for him tho
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
Something about esim or whatever
keep me updated 🙏🙏
guys never move all ur shit from the yard to leverett
leverett is too far when ur carrying 3 suitcases and then boxes
damn how much stuff do you have 😭
hopefully i’ll be able to bring all my stuff in one car ride
bro i came here with just the 3 suitcases and now i have an additional 5 boxes and 3 bags
this dresser jump scared the fuck out of me when i first walked in
its basically in front of the door atp
lmaoooo
is your new room nice at least?
ok skinny
bigger than my other room
that feels like a big ass bed for a college dorm
BIGGER?
maybe i’m tweaking tho
yeah i got so much space here now
dyk if we’re able to change the chair that we get 💀 i love my chair
heres a bed eye view
maybe switch it to where the desk is in that corner
if you turn the bed would the dresser fit next to it?
i’m not a good interior decorator 💀
i have a problem with not being able to see all corners of the room
if i move it theres gonna be atleast one blind spot when i sleep and i could be murdered fr
real
how do y’all have little suns next to ur names
i want one ;-;
oh nvm i got it
summer housing
i got quincy
that room is so tiny
3 suitcases and boxes are lowkey reasonable to fit in 1 car
hop off my boy kace
Im int Idek how much stuff I need to bring😭
some people told me that I wont need more than 2 checked bags but judging but the insta stories there seems to be a lot going on😭
im not bringing more than 2 checked bags so we can twin
if i need anything that bad ill get it on break or buy it atp
depending on when we get our roommates u could probably talk and coordinate who brings what
For the dorm stuff most of my friends told me to order from amazon/buy there
haha good
but for clothes Im not sure how much ill need tbf
if ur an average civilian, enough for washing every 2 weeks is the rule i heard
but if ur more fashionable . cant help you there
bed eye view now
whats the difference between taking expos20 and hum10+10b?
is one harder than the other or better for humanities majors
expos 20 everyone takes
hum 10 is if you love reading
or humanities
idk I didn't touch it at all too much reading
apparently u dont have to take expos 20
if you take hum 10 I think
lmao
icic
they read a book a week in hum10 sooo😬😬
bro that’s crazy
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
because im not a STEM major 💀
i enjoy reading and writing
and it will benefit my career
voluntary suffering
Hum10 someone took it and they assigned reading the week before class started
bro has never heard of summer reading
this convo is literally what the stem vs humanities memes were talking about
cs majors cant read (NOT fake news)
What r u talking about
You read THE WEKE BEFORE and then have to discuss and write a full paper on ur first week
LOL
yeah sounds like hum10
would've expected them to make you read all through the summer icl
weke is crazy work
with the way i was procrastinating over the summer that seems completely normal to me 💀
also that writing placement exam was sooooo bad
7 hours of staring at my screen typing
five for the actual timed part and two for the pre-exam 💀
SEVEN???
wait don’t all freshmen have to take seminar or smth
what is this for
whether you take expos 10 or 20
Nah seminars r optional
oh
expos 10 means you take that class plus expos 20 next semester
expos 20 means you only need to take one semester
so you skip 10
ah alr is it a few long essays or more shorter pieces
i don’t want to say smth i shouldn’t so i’ll just give you the link to the general info haha
it’s like a half a day affair, brace yourself before you do it lmaoooo
i have my drivers test in the morning so i’ll prob do it after
if i fail i’ll prob be too sad to do it
why am i highkey scared for my driving test
are there any breaks
the what😬😬
wow you did tooooo much 😭
you can kinda take a break whenever you want
they say the exam only takes 2-3 hours but they give you 5 for when your brain starts to hurt lmao
i want to be placed in expos 20 💔
save the 7 hours of writing for the actual class twin 💔
it’s possible to write a few sentences and still get placed in 20
oh that sounds great
looking forward to it
Is it true that only X% get an A?
🙋♀️
even if you do you can talk your way into expos 20 by talking to your academic advisor
i thought it was 5 hours... wtf is a pre-exam
i haven't taken a proper english class since sophomore year its so over
the actual timed exam is 5 hours, but there’s like an honor code reflection and a survey as well
honor code reflection sounds so fancy
ikr
i thought i would just have to check a box that was like “yeah i won’t plagiarize”
nope 💔
WAIT THAT SHIT TOOK A WHOLE EXTRA 2HRS??
ykw put me in expos 10 i am not writing allat
sorry for feeding into the stereotype but not really
i think two hours is pushing the envelope for how long it should take ngl
i just yapped a lot
you could prolly get it done in like 20-30 mins
depends on the class but technically there’s no hard cap
my teacher said she could give everyone in the class A’s theoretically
but yk she didn’t
I did honor code and survey etc in like 10 mins
it's not that deep
what the fawk were ur writing 💔
clearly too much
hey man if i have nothing better to do let me spend 7 hours on a placement exam 💔
maybe they’ll think i’m so good they’ll create a new expos and put me in that one
expos 30
you have NOTHING better to do ??
imagine they put you in 10
expos 5 💔
say it ain’t so 💔
it took me an hour and a half 😭
ohh thank you!
what are yall writing 😭💔💔
haha thanksss
I want an A that's p much it😭
for the pre exam part I was still fully awake so I yapped a ton of sutff
but it was super late when the actual test started and i wrote whtv
yea take her class then
thanku!
who else hasn't done the placement exam
i haven’t done the math one
i haven’t done the writing one
i haven't done either 🩷 you two make me whole
ill see what i can do after work . pray for me chat
ill break this bad habit... later
fr
except you’ve done the worse one
i’ll start after lunch wish me luck lol
speak for yourself 😭 i’m a gov major 💔 yapping is part of the job description
calculus is not
oh i’m a stem major LOL
i forgot so much of the content in part 3 it’s insane
i am not a yapper unfortunately
so fun fact it says you can skip the sections you dont know so just dont do the calculus ones
i think its 3 sections and 2 are calculus so just do the 1st one which (according to the website) is basic math
yep
the first section is like sat math
second is calc 1/calc ab
third is calc 2/calc bc
Should I review polar
well yeah but i don’t wanna be placed into the lower math classes yk
but tbf it’s all recommendation anyway
i could just ignore my placement
give me 30 power rule questions and i’m acing the test
anything else and i’m a goner
nope
although my friend said the results for math dont matter
and u can take whatever u want
yeah that’s what my friend did lol
how low are we talking
anything below 21 lmao
i want to be in the big box
not the small diamonds
actually wait 18 sounds dope
i’m prob gonna end up in 21a or b
i’m hoping for at least 1a 💀
i was so bad at calc bc tho
and i did it junior year too so idr much
where did u find this....
as a gov major why do u need hard math (gen question idk shit about majors that aren't mine)
i don’t need to take any math technically
i have a “quantitative reasoning” requirement that could be fulfilled by basically any econ/pol sci class
but just bc it’s not my major doesn’t mean i don’t wanna learn abt it yk
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
i love this for you 
wait trust part 1 isn’t bad at all it’s out of 30 and the stuff is all content prior to precalc like algebra
if u did decently on sat math ur def getting into at least 1a
OH THANK GOD
used to pray for times like this
that just motivated me to take it thanks bookie
lol anytime u got this
i believe in u
does the writing exam actually take 7 hours 😭
i’ve been trying to mentally prepare myself and actually start the test but idk if i can do 7 hours
its supposed to take 2-3 unless ur long winded as all hell
im trying to decide how much i should yap
or if concise and to the point is better
im not a yapper sadly
whatever answers the question i fear
sob
i wish i could write an essay on the hunger games
but noooo i got stuck with stuff like frankenstein in lit
update: this is so bad
it is not that bad 😭 just a lot of work
it’s not particularly hard or anything tho
and there’s no required length or anything
yea i only took calc ab and got placed 1b and did well
no mine took like 2 and a half😭 but i could’ve def rushed a lil more
since expos 20 is basically the “default,” i’d lowkey recommend just speedrunning the placement
no need to put a lot of effort
Brah speak for yourself
Took BC got fried in 1b lowk
oh
why did i YAP SO MUCH
real shit
but i also feel like i got lazier abt stuff idc about
