[elfin sky]

Yale Global Affairs husband insane

Did I tell you guys how I got one acceptance two rejections last year when I applied transfer

[plain rover]

LMFOAOO i wanna be a global affairs wife that’s why 😔

[weak lotus]

[vague shale]

What’s that they say again?

Bright minds think alike

[weak lotus]

great minds

[elfin sky]

Ayoooo

[vague shale]

DID I ASK??????

[weak lotus]

calm down lil bro

im not the one breaking doors

[vague shale]

Wasn’t me

[cedar kettle]

Omg!!! Send anything cool you see :)

MITSKI!!!!!

[real dagger]

idt anyone knows 💀 its impossible to get rejected rea unless u straight up dont meet the requirements

[cedar kettle]

Bruh this is literally what my friend looks like but they’re in animation. Maybe in another life 😔

[elfin sky]

Truly unfortunate

[cedar kettle]

Cringe crimson school smh

[plain rover]

huh

what school are we talking about

[dry talon]

harvard

[plain rover]

oh???

[dry talon]

you’ll get deferred instead

[plain rover]

OH 😭

yeah fair their deferral rate is lik what 80%

[real dagger]

8.7% acceptance, 7.7% rejections, 83% deferred

[plain rover]

i thoguht y’all meant that you were guaranteed admission as long as you “meet the requirements”

[dry talon]

nah

[plain rover]

and i was like what?? so yeah that explains it

[plain rover]

ngl im so scared of yale scearejection

like at least defer me THEN reject me if u rly wanna reject me amirite

[dry talon]

i’d rather get rejected straight up

bc then im not waiting

[real dagger]

deferral was my worst nightmare i aint wanna wait that long lmfao

[dry talon]

that is why im scared of harvard rea

[plain rover]

at least i’ll get into SOME schools and be happy about it instead of dooming myself for months bc i got rejected from scea

[dusk solar]

so ur telling me it's harder to be rejected than accepted

[real dagger]

yes

[dusk solar]

bet.

[real dagger]

you'd have to like write a bomb threat in ur essays or some shit

[dry talon]

ismgine beingn in the 7% dawg i’d feel so shitty ab myself

like i was that bad i didnt get deferred they just gave me the no straight up

[plain rover]

they have to look at ur app and be like “HELLLL NAHHHHHH” to get u rejected fr

“lil bro thought he had a chance”

[real dagger]

idt anyone got rejected in the thread last year

[plain rover]

kace where did you ea/ed

[dry talon]

kace rea’d harvard lol

[plain rover]

oh

[cedar kettle]

IMO deferral worse than rejection. Like ambiguity is so much more stressful

[plain rover]

but like at least i’ll have hope yk

a rejection is.. a rejection

[cedar kettle]

The people who get deferred and then waitlisted

[dry talon]

like in the rea round or overall

[real dagger]

rea

[plain rover]

that’s the worst situation to ever be in

[dry talon]

i see

[real dagger]

i was only not accepted one place and that was the one i forgot to withdraw from 💀

[cedar kettle]

Makes sense lol

[cedar kettle]

Lucky you 😭

[dry talon]

scared for fall 2025

[real dagger]

u got this

[plain rover]

bro u got a YEAR

[cedar kettle]

UCI rejection was so ass

[real dagger]

i jyst didnt apply to many places 😭

[dry talon]

IT DOESNT FEEL LIKE LONG ENOUGH

[plain rover]

I HAVE LIKE A MONTH

LEFT

PLS EMPHATIZE

[cedar kettle]

I’m not someone who holds grudges (I forget them lol) but UCI is an opp 👎

[real dagger]

colby college an opp

[plain rover]

i forget them is so real

[dry talon]

i’m less confident about the UCs than i am with like any other school i’ll apply to which is crazy

[plain rover]

my first (and last) yale virtual info session is in an hour 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[cedar kettle]

Wait kace so random but do I seem white

[dry talon]

i just dont know what those motherfuckers want

[real dagger]

fuck questbridge for making me submit my rd's before i knew rea results 😭

[plain rover]

yes

[left anchor]

idk if i wanna rea to yale or ed elsewhere

[real dagger]

yes i didnt know u were asian til last night

well

til i connected w u

and saw ur face

[plain rover]

same until this morning

[dry talon]

i didnt know until right now

[plain rover]

is yale ur top choice?

[ionic lagoon]

You’re not white?

[real dagger]

only ed to ur top choice

[left anchor]

its between yale and williams

but the thing is

[plain rover]

you might have a better shot at williams ed like it might lowkey even be a guarantee

[left anchor]

williams ed is good compared to yales rea

[left anchor]

how so?

[plain rover]

exactly

[dry talon]

guarantee no

[plain rover]

higher AR 😭

[dry talon]

AR can be misleading

[plain rover]

if their app is strong enough why not

[left anchor]

what is AR

[plain rover]

acceptance rate

[left anchor]

oh 💀

[plain rover]

like you can’t rly say yale is a guarantee to anyone but williams might still like be a bit yk easier to get in esp with ED

[left anchor]

yah

[plain rover]

but ngl just do your research and follow your gut

don’t do ed to williams just bc it might be easier to get in

[crisp tendon]

williams ed is not a guarantee in any way

[real dagger]

23% ED acceptance rate for williams

[plain rover]

nonoononono ofc not

[elfin sky]

You can ed into ymu th

[crisp tendon]

and most ed williams acceptances r legacy + athletes

[cedar kettle]

I need to reevaluate my image wow

[crisp tendon]

• WOW

[cedar kettle]

Everyone thinks I’m white ig lol

[left anchor]

well im did YYGS (which is like easy to get into now its not impressive) and i did a specific international relations program at yale too, and im hoping that if they see that i have an interest in yale and i write a good why yale i might have a shot

[plain rover]

but yale scea AR is lower than williams ed ar

[real dagger]

dont have a midlife crisis rn

[elfin sky]

Anyway I missed my bus </3

[left anchor]

but demonstrated insterest isnt a thing?

or do they just say that?

[real dagger]

idt yale considers DI

[left anchor]

im cooked

[plain rover]

how tf did you do an IR program at yale 😭

[dry talon]

usually on cds they say if they consider it

[left anchor]

summer

for highschoolers

not like an actual class 😭

but it was pretty hard to get into

or so im told

[plain rover]

but like you could turn those into parts of your why us essay

[dry talon]

oh you did YYGS

[left anchor]

yeah i was thinking the same

[left anchor]

yeah in 2022

wait

no 2023

[dry talon]

might apply for that this year for the lulz

[crisp tendon]

williams is still sub 10%

[left anchor]

its great

[sharp hound]

i think one did

[left anchor]

so many people apply tho

[plain rover]

wait i didn’t know that mb

i mean either way they’re both below 30%

so it’s really up to you

[crisp tendon]

ya both r gonna be hard so just pick what u like most

[left anchor]

is this misleading then?

i cant trust anything anymore this is nuts

[plain rover]

oh damn i didn’t know

[crisp tendon]

last year it was 23%

[plain rover]

I LITERWLKY DONT KNWO IM SORRY

[crisp tendon]

nooo dw

these goofle searches dont updatw

[crisp tendon]

most of which wwre athletes and legacies

[left anchor]

boooo

[crisp tendon]

williams is a nescac so they have a high proportion of athletes applying ed

[plain rover]

i mean isn’t it the same for yale lowk

[crisp tendon]

which skews the acceptanxe rate

[left anchor]

but williams gives me the most money according to npc

so i wanna go there

but i also love yale

[plain rover]

W

[crisp tendon]

for normal people irs probably similar maybe slightly higher to the rd rate of under 10% bc they dont rly care abt yield that mych

[left anchor]

who williams?

or yale

[crisp tendon]

ya

williams

[left anchor]

oh ok

[sharp hound]

wym boo

[plain rover]

just do some
more research and do like a pro&con list

[crisp tendon]

yalebis the same rea isnt easier to get in its just skewed by legacy and athletes

[plain rover]

yeah im doing scea bc i wanna get my decision early

[left anchor]

booo to williams ed ar

[plain rover]

hopefully saving me from 34+ apps

[sharp hound]

why boo the ED system

[crisp tendon]

p sure 40% lf williams students are athletes?

So

[left anchor]

bc im not a legacy OR athlete

no hate to them

[sharp hound]

yeah that's what i was told by the coach

[left anchor]

just a bummer for me

[plain rover]

that’s crazy

stanford is also lowkey like that right

[left anchor]

thats nuts

[plain rover]

they only have athletes and rich kids

[sharp hound]

small school + a lot of programs = a LOT of athletes

[plain rover]

💀

[crisp tendon]

yea tbh thats the only reason i did ed wellesley

[crisp tendon]

^^

nescac in a nutshell

[plain rover]

ughhhfghhhgg

lemme get that sat score UPPPPP

and imma be a bit happier

[crisp tendon]

but the normal ppl that got into williams ed likely wouldve gotten in williams rd

so

[left anchor]

what is it now if you dont mind me asking

[crisp tendon]

only rly do it if its ur top choice and u wanna lnow early

[plain rover]

i never took ir

[left anchor]

oh

[plain rover]

but my last practice test today was a 1550

[left anchor]

damn

[plain rover]

although i don’t think it’ll be that high

[crisp tendon]

maybe but im not sure

i dont thinknitd be 40%

[left anchor]

this is so real

i get like

1550+ on practice tests

[plain rover]

W

[crisp tendon]

ur yale boundj

[left anchor]

and then i got a 1460 on test day 😔

[plain rover]

it’s literally practice test 1

[left anchor]

NOT YALE MATERIAL

[sharp hound]

i was the opposite

[plain rover]

ia lready took it like twice

[sharp hound]

sub 1400 on practice 1500 on test day

[left anchor]

crazy

[plain rover]

if i get a 1550+ on pt5&6 i’ll let u say that

[left anchor]

i needa get my score up this is nuts

[sharp hound]

isn't the SAT digital now

[left anchor]

nah cuz 5 and 6 are harddddd

[left anchor]

yah

[plain rover]

yes

[dry talon]

yea

[plain rover]

i’m too scared to take them

[crisp tendon]

🤞🤞

[plain rover]

i kee saying id do anything for yale. but i end up doing nothing

[left anchor]

real

[plain rover]

not even studying consistently bruh😭

[left anchor]

im gpa and score arent quite there for yale so im hoping my essays, LoRs and ECs make up for it

damn

but SAT is still a tossup

[plain rover]

how’s a 1550+ not THERE

[left anchor]

oh no im not 1550+ 😭

im at 1460 💀

[plain rover]

but aren’t you retaking

[left anchor]

yeah

[plain rover]

1460 isn’t BAD

[left anchor]

its not within the range for williams OR yale

or even the average

[plain rover]

WELL

still

[left anchor]

😭

[plain rover]

if u have crazy ecs

maybe

[left anchor]

ok well

lemme list em

[plain rover]

and ur gpa might not b as low as u think it is

[left anchor]

3.7

unweighted

but i take like

the hardest classes possible

[plain rover]

see

i dont 🙂

im taking the lowest level math possible

[crisp tendon]

i got into williams 3.7 test optional just rly work on ur writing and ecs

[plain rover]

it’s IB but it’s still low

[left anchor]

wait really??

thats fire

[crisp tendon]

yup

[thorny mortar]

We need a !blair

And it’s just YALE

[plain rover]

oh god..

wait

let me find that one

[left anchor]

well do you mind if i list my ecs and see if they dope or not bc im seeing kids start non profits and shit

[crisp tendon]

dm me

[thorny mortar]

Essays matter a lot

[crisp tendon]

yea my essay carried me

[plain rover]

.

i nominate this

or like the AO one

.

[plain rover]

send them tome too 😔 were the same major

[thorny mortar]

Same

High key I love the high word count why us ones

Fav things

[left anchor]

👍

[plain rover]

omfz i saw my face in the mirror for the first tome today after scrolling on my phone the whole day like a degenerate im lowkey cute

[plain rover]

this is highly related to yale btw

if it wasn’t i wouldn’t have said it on here

[elfin sky]

Hi friends

[left anchor]

yo yo yo

[left anchor]

yale likes doomscrollers

so im defenitely getting in

😙

[plain rover]

😭

[elfin sky]

@left anchor what songs do you listen to

Last fm

[left anchor]

oooh hard one

is it fine if i send it here or should i go #🚀-general-chat ?

[elfin sky]

Doesn’t really matter

General is scary

🚶‍♀️

[left anchor]

💀

real

i dont listen to songs individually but rather artists

like

if i have an obsession with one artist

[elfin sky]

Ohhhh I see

[left anchor]

thats ALL im bumping for the week

rn im listening to Yaeji

[elfin sky]

Yea that makes sense

I just use my liked playlist

& then some piano music I have downloaded

[left anchor]

i love making playlists

[elfin sky]

I see

Could never

[left anchor]

nah bc i have em for like

different moods and things

different genres

wbu what music you like

[elfin sky]

Oh fmbot is down

[cedar kettle]

How is the yale chat going

Any new fires?

[elfin sky]

Alive and healthy

[cedar kettle]

Hurrah!

[elfin sky]

Hurrah

[cedar kettle]

It looks like cooldown ultimately worked

[elfin sky]

I need to finalise my classes at some point

[elfin sky]

Yessss

Yay

[cedar kettle]

When’s your class selection?

[elfin sky]

Uh like a few months ago I have like the major related classes pretty much set

[cedar kettle]

Nice!

[elfin sky]

But I was trying to figure out what courses to farm for random associate’s

In case I decide to do a masters in them down the line

[thorny mortar]

Ooo

[elfin sky]

Hi rileyyyyy

[left anchor]

i love me my mcr

[elfin sky]

You do not want to see my top artists

[thorny mortar]

Hey babe

[left anchor]

spill

[left anchor]

holy shit

[elfin sky]

A little bit obsessed with one artist in particular

[left anchor]

i do NOT listen to that much music

[left anchor]

😭

whats ur gwk ranking 💀

[elfin sky]

#1 for most of his songs

My friend is like #2

[left anchor]

wild

lemme give him a listen

[elfin sky]

Has a small community tbh & I know majority of the people on the leaderboard

[left anchor]

wait hwy is this fire

[elfin sky]

LOL yea

He made some good songs it’s alright

[left anchor]

reminds me of that one song

specialist

by that one japanese artist

[elfin sky]

Oh my god LMAO

My favourite one is Macropolis though

City Pop + Complextro + Vocal samples

😋

[left anchor]

i recommend giving yaeji a listen

its not like

the same

its kind of electronic and housey kinda feel but i love her vocals

[cedar kettle]

how many asociates do you have atp

[elfin sky]

2

[cedar kettle]

how do you use this bot

[elfin sky]

I should be getting 3 more

[elfin sky]

Need a last fm account

Then sync

[elfin sky]

Math, CS, Psychology since I’m like dedicated to that sequence already

But I have a bunch of other sequences started

So I might as well complete

[cedar kettle]

bro 5 associates is so cracked wtf

[elfin sky]

Not really

[cedar kettle]

idk it seems like a lot

[elfin sky]

3 is like the bare minimum for UC CS transfer

Which is usually Math, CS, Physics

[cedar kettle]

oh what? i did not know that

[elfin sky]

Yea

Cus associate’s are just lower divs

For UC/CSU

[cedar kettle]

ohhhh so your associates bypasses the intro classes basically

[elfin sky]

Yea basically! I still have to do them, they just have equivalents to the UC/CSU classes

That’s kinda how course articulations work in general

So for example calc 1 in a Cali cc would usually equal calc 1 in a UC

[cedar kettle]

interesting. tbh i should have intuited thats how assoicates work haha

[elfin sky]

Yea no worries! That’s just how they work in Cali though

We have two systems where there’s associate’s for transfer and then normal associate’s

So Associate’s for transfer will usually have courses that will be useful for transfer

[cedar kettle]

there's two kinds of associates????? im learning so much rn

[elfin sky]

In cali* it’s mostly because of our institutional priorities

The normal associate’s is for people trying to get into the workforce immediately

[plain rover]

i absolutely LOVE the “that’s why i toured yale” vid on yt

[elfin sky]

Girl

[plain rover]

WHAT I HAVE A VIRTUAL INFO SESSIOJ IN 5 MINS

[elfin sky]

Blair i better be seeing you doing a tour video

One day

[plain rover]

you will if i get in trust

[cedar kettle]

so do some other states only have one kind?

[cedar kettle]

the waht vid

[elfin sky]

I’m not sure! I’m pretty sure that it isn’t common to have that split degree system

[cedar kettle]

ok see blair knows more than me because i only dared to research schools when i was in because i didn't want my heart broken lol

[elfin sky]

There’s a lot of other nuances to transfer degrees like “guaranteed admission to a CSU”

[elfin sky]

So true

[cedar kettle]

lowkey time to see how long i can hold out without watching gilmore girls because i think its a little funny that i still haven't

[elfin sky]

What are some movies with Berkeley and UCLA

[cedar kettle]

california trying to be quirky lol

[plain rover]

“that’s why i toured yale” by yale university channels on youtube published in 2017

[cedar kettle]

i think legally blonde was filmed at ucla

i can only think of books for some reason

[elfin sky]

Alright we are NOT trying to do that movie

[cedar kettle]

stay true is a really amazing memoir situated in berkeley

[cedar kettle]

fair 😭

[elfin sky]

FWIW the system works, since usually you’ll get both if you go for the transfer degree

So technically you’d have two degrees

[cedar kettle]

i loved stay true ugh. prob one of my favorite books ive read for class

[cedar kettle]

nice!

[elfin sky]

So like if a place has an econ degree for transfer and the normal one, they’d probably have similar requisites and you can get both

[cedar kettle]

ooohh

[elfin sky]

Yea :)

[cedar kettle]

california win

[elfin sky]

Then there’s just some majors that just don’t exist for associate’s (like statistics)

[cedar kettle]

thats so weird??? why

can you still transfer into an undergrad for statistics major?

[elfin sky]

I’m guessing it’s because stats isn’t common in cal states

Which is what the transfer degrees were primarily for

[elfin sky]

Yes!

Not very common since ppl usually do another major like CS or Math but it is possible

[cedar kettle]

the cs plague extends everywhere /hj

[elfin sky]

LOL TRUE

I checked the transfer rates for major for my cc and there’s a lot of psych and cs transfers

[cedar kettle]

srsly though i cant believe how many people are doing cs rn. like i get it 'cause the industry was booming but it's kinda flopping rn (as in lay offs everywhere people struggling to get a job etc)

[plain rover]

i made it to the info session chat 🔥🔥🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

[elfin sky]

Yea I like stats more

[cedar kettle]

kinda curious about why so many psych transfers ngl

[elfin sky]

LETS GO

[cedar kettle]

what

[elfin sky]

Do tell us

[cedar kettle]

i feel like i missed an episode

[elfin sky]

Tbh? Not sure lol

[plain rover]

i love glazing take every single second

[cedar kettle]

whats going on

[elfin sky]

There’s also a stats class for psych majors

[cedar kettle]

interesting?

[elfin sky]

Yessss

Tbh I took it then dropped the class cus it was boringghh

[plain rover]

attending a yale info session bc someone here told me to join one to learn more about what they’re LOOKING for specifically

[elfin sky]

Also I did not feel like commuting 1.5 hours for it

[cedar kettle]

ohhh interesting

yale also has a podcast for admissions i thikn

ive heard its pretty good

[elfin sky]

Woah

[plain rover]

this is such a camp pic

[elfin sky]

I actually kinda wanna start listening to some of these admissions podcasts

[cedar kettle]

sorry what 😭

[plain rover]

yeah i still need more i need yale every second

[elfin sky]

Ya I walk 40 minutes to the bus

[cedar kettle]

future home looking so pretty (although tbh yale is just photogenic af)

[cedar kettle]

ohhhh that makes more sense

[plain rover]

just like me fr

[elfin sky]

Truly one of the most unfortunate commutes

[cedar kettle]

i thought you were driving 1.5hr 😭

[elfin sky]

Nooooo

I would if I was in bay area

There’s some good ccs over there

If I was in La country proper it wouldn’t be that big of an issue

[plain rover]

THEYRE DOING A KAHOOT

IM WINNING SO BAD

IM SO WINNING

YALE KAHOOT

[zenith silo]

why is yale everyone's dream school here

and not like the other parts of HYPSM

I live in new haven and the location actually sucks ass

tho I live in the hood so my perspective might be skewed

[plain rover]

I BETTER WIN

[slow coral]

you guys are actually such nerds 😭

[plain rover]

IM IN TOP 3 YALL

[zenith silo]

and yale is for partying 💀

bro the yale parties actually keep me up all night

y'all gotta chill

[pure ivy]

It’s propaganda that MIT does not party

[zenith silo]

MIT party culture goes hard

[plain rover]

solving sudoku patry

[slow coral]

lol

none of your schools party

[zenith silo]

no like they actually have naked parties like yale

[plain rover]

THEY TALK TOO MUCH I WANNA SEE MY RANK

[slow coral]

they are all loser schools

i have been to parties at all of them

they are not parties

[zenith silo]

dawg the one time I accidentally walked in on a yale naked party will never get unglued from my eyeballs

that shit was nasty

[pure ivy]

He has to leave Penn to find parties, pray for this dude 🙏

[zenith silo]

when you see yalies party you start to wonder how they got in

harvard and yale are academically very similar actually

more similar than most other schools

[cedar kettle]

not sure. honestly i think it just looks skewed because blair is such a massive fangirl

[zenith silo]

nah but like this chat is more active than like every other chat

it already had 4800 messages

[cedar kettle]

...it is?

im scared

[zenith silo]

while most of them don't even have 500

[cedar kettle]

yeah im not attending those

[zenith silo]

yeah new haven locals consider yale a party school

[zenith silo]

they are definitely real and they happen at least once a week

[cedar kettle]

im gonna go get boba with friends instead and run away from the parties

[zenith silo]

don't let people convince you otherwise

[cedar kettle]

uhhhhhh

this is news to me

tbf i chose this over duke so i think i was doomed from the start to be at a party school

[plain rover]

SOPHIE AND ADA YALL R MY OPPS YOU BETTER KNOW THAT

WHOEVER YOU ARE

UR MY OPP

[zenith silo]

it's not a party school but compared to other HYPSM the parties are much more frequent and intense

[plain rover]

I CANT GET TO TOP 2 BC OF THEM

i click TOO SLOW

[cedar kettle]

makes sense. we like to touch grass more 🤷 /lh

[zenith silo]

fr

the worst part about yale is the new haven hoods tho

they suck

[cedar kettle]

yeah....

[zenith silo]

but tbf if you live in dorms you might never need to enter the hoods

(notice: hoods plural)

[cedar kettle]

i think new haven kinda the worst part (sorry oxcube)

[zenith silo]

yeah new haven sucks

I live here and I will die on a hill saying this

[cedar kettle]

thankfully my resco is smack dab in the middle of campus so i expect to never need to leave lol

[zenith silo]

the only benefit of new haven is that the downtown area feels like a big city with literally zero traffic

[cedar kettle]

also new haven being day trip distance away from boston and nyc is nice ngl

very excited for that

[zenith silo]

I suppose

[dusk solar]

Yuck fale

[cedar kettle]

mostly 'cause i hate living in cities but i do like their food a lot lmao

[cedar kettle]

because of this im no longer considering water

[zenith silo]

it's not the most pleasant trip with MTA but if you are rich you can do amtrak

[dusk solar]

Fuck

Im sorry

[cedar kettle]

only drinking milk from now on

[dusk solar]

Consider water

[dusk solar]

Oh

[cedar kettle]

whats the cost difference?

[cedar kettle]

wdym oh 😭

[plain rover]

FUCK YOUUUUUU

MY PHONE LAGGED

[cedar kettle]

milk is the only thing between me and a vitamin d definiciency tbh

[plain rover]

FUCK YOUUUUUU BROOOOO

i answered too late

yale come back

[zenith silo]

idk about students but with MTA round trip to NYC is like $40 and amtrak is like $120

heavily depends on timing tho

[cedar kettle]

holy crap why is 3x 😭

oxcube what is the best food in new haven

[zenith silo]

idk everyone has a different answer

if you're rich then all the food is good

[plain rover]

IM GETTING FIRST PLACE AFTER THIS ONE TRUST

[zenith silo]

but there are no budget options everything is like $25+ for one person

[plain rover]

can i put this as an award

[zenith silo]

if you're doing budget then the new haven shake shack is decent

[plain rover]

L SOPHIE

SHE GOT THE RESIDENTIAL COLLEGE QUESTION INCORRECT

BUT ADA IS THE FIRST SO IM STILL TAKING MY L

[cedar kettle]

why 😭

welp

[cedar kettle]

how the f are you not in first

[plain rover]

aster

can i put this in my awards

[cedar kettle]

you are way too yale obsessed to be losing rn

[plain rover]

I KNOW ITS BC IM SLOW

[cedar kettle]

no?? 😭

[plain rover]

I GOT ALL THE QUESTIONS CORRECT

[zenith silo]

to answer your question tho @cedar kettle if you have money then you literally cannot go wrong. The food is so good with such a small population that every restaurant does their best to be unique in a good way.

As for pizza, avoid Pepe's. Overrated as fuck. If you have to eat new haven pizza, just do sally's

but honestly I kinda hate new haven pizza

[plain rover]

ITS JUST THAT I ANSWER SLOW

IM TOP 3

[cedar kettle]

ok ty

[cedar kettle]

wack everyone hypes it so much

[zenith silo]

almost 50% of yale students pay 90k a year to go. this should explain things

[cedar kettle]

ah makes sense

must really suck for the local population though

[zenith silo]

plus there are a lot of yale professors who live nearby and yale professors make 300k a year

full time professors I mean

[cedar kettle]

what????

[plain rover]

one of my friedns id scllaed ada so im rooting for her too sophie can suck it

[cedar kettle]

i mean, i guess if my tuition is going anywhere i would hope much of it is going to professors but thats still way more than i expected

[plain rover]

suck it sophie

hw can u not know that rescos are randomized

bro thoguht they were major specific

[zenith silo]

it's normal at the HYPSM level. you should be happy because it's one incentive to attract as many applicants as possibloe

so it ensures they get the best people

[cedar kettle]

true true

[plain rover]

SHIT

I GOT IT INCORRECT

OH MY OOGOODDDDD

I MICLICKED

[cedar kettle]

the professors are gonna be so intimidating ngl

[plain rover]

I MISCLICKED

ITS SO OCER

ITS SO OVERRRRR

[cedar kettle]

like hi super accomplaished person i am a measly child asking you to help me with math homework. embarassing

[plain rover]

me af

[zenith silo]

they're all chill just a little cookoo

but that's expected in academia

[plain rover]

I THINK THIS ONE IS THA LAST QUESTON

[cedar kettle]

i love people in academia so much. like they're just massive nerds who want you to listen to them ramble about some obscure thing its so fun

[zenith silo]

yeah

I'm sure you'll love new haven because they try to keep you away from the bad parts unless you live off campus

and the yale police basically runs the city so they push the riff raff out as much as they can

I swear yale police is bigger and more competent than new haven police lmao

like I haven't seen a new haven cop car in years

but yale police is everywhere

[cedar kettle]

they email us every five seconds 💀

[zenith silo]

yeah might wanna turn those alerts off

but summer is notoriously bad because all the hoodies just hang out in the streets from 6 AM to midnight

[cedar kettle]

oh that makes sense actually

i just know there's been a lot of robbery and they email us

every single time

[zenith silo]

also idk what race you look like but if you're not black or latino then you should probably stay out of most of the hoods because there is some targetted harassment that goes on there

[cedar kettle]

im asian so yeah...

[zenith silo]

if you are black or latino then congrats you will probably be safe in the hood

[cedar kettle]

i plan on mostly staying on campus

[zenith silo]

yeah you're fucked

[cedar kettle]

yipee!

[crisp tendon]

Um

[cedar kettle]

why hello there mimi

[zenith silo]

I'm white and it's bad enough. I've had guns pulled on me before because there were some people selling drugs (looked like it at least) at some house and they told me to "keep walking, hillbilly"

I don't think it's politically correct to call it racism but let's just say they didn't pull guns out on the black people walking on the streets at the same time

[crisp tendon]

Hi aster

https://tenor.com/view/hii-cat-pet-gif-hello-gif-18917678

[zenith silo]

don't worry about it tho even if something like this happens to you make sure you have yale police on speed dial and they will literally come in 30 seconds

they are quick

this is why I'm not applying REA to yale but I'll still RD because it's still yale lol

I just know too much of this city to want to stay here any longer

it's best to not know

[crisp tendon]

This is so

[zenith silo]

are you from new haven too?

I'm yet to meet another person from CT in A2C 🥲

[cedar kettle]

holy shit? thats scary

[zenith silo]

this is the case in every city. the problem is that new haven is so small that it's easy to get to the bad parts quickly

like there's this famous street where on one side there are multimillion dollar mansions and on the other side is the hood

someone wrote a book about it recently actually

[cedar kettle]

ohhh that makes a lot of sense actually

[zenith silo]

like this is the general hood map

as long as you stay in new haven or stay close to whitney avenue you're fine

[crisp tendon]

literally

[zenith silo]

this ☝️ but in new haven it's easy to get caught off guard

it's a little different

especially when the riff raff spills over into the nice parts

[crisp tendon]

Um

Whos the riff raff

[zenith silo]

the hoodies

hoodlums

whatever

[crisp tendon]

HELLO

HELLOO

[zenith silo]

guys it's fine only a few yale students go missing every year

and they usually find them soon after

sometimes they are still alive

it's the same shit as at other schools

like uchicago

[ebon goblet]

stop shaming my beloved chicago :((

[zenith silo]

no I'm saying that yale is just as safe as peer schools

and gave uchicago as an uncoordinated example

[ebon goblet]

chicago my beloved

new haven isnt that bad anyways

[crisp tendon]

https://tenor.com/view/chicago-city-buildings-afternoon-gif-15504172

[ebon goblet]

[cedar kettle]

my brain is small solar

[zenith silo]

cambridge is like heaven on earth compared to new haven lmao

[cedar kettle]

im book smart not life smart imma be so honest. like i have a 50/50 chance of getting through doorframes unharmed and ramming half my body into the wall

my spatial awareness is a little questionable

[dusk solar]

[cedar kettle]
