Yale University (2024-2025)

[stiff merlin]

Senior student cs alum

Anything

For this year

[timber plaza]

i thnakfully wont have to redo this traumatic event again

[stiff merlin]

Does it matter

Yale

Student

Alum

Like who ur interviewer is

[vague pecan]

I know someone who got one in ED and was rejected
I usually do trust previous good signs
But I don't think this is one

(unless I get a senior interview, then I'll ask the same)

😂☠️

[stiff merlin]

Yale rea?

Yale doesn’t hav ed

I got a current student

[vague pecan]

Yea that sorry

[stiff merlin]

I’m in mass

Idk if that helps

[violet crown]

My interview was 30 mins lol

Is that normal?

And he didn't ask me to ask him any questions

[stiff merlin]

Ye

[violet crown]

Wait

So on my app I said I wrote "#9 trending novel on ForgeFiction website", which is a now-inactive like Wattpad-esque website where you can post your projects chapter by chapter

The website is for novels so naturally I called my project a novel in my app but it wasn't finished

And so when my Yale interviewer asked if I'd ever finished any novels I said nah

But like does this look bad if Yale thinks it's a discrepancy yk

Nah I'm just making sure itd eosn't seem like I lied on my app

All projects posted on that site are "novels" even if unfinished

But I just wrote "novels" on my app

But yeah it was unfinished

[merry pawn]

Please gimme me one 🙏

[merry pawn]

Nah that's 100% fine

[rigid vault]

bruh i got a senior interview but i didnt cook 😦

nahhhh i gotta stop putting this delulu likely letter stuff into my head

i submitted stem research but i didnt go like isef grand prize or stuff like that so

[merry pawn]

I'm sure you did great

Dw about it

It's over now so just don't think about it

That's my strat x_x

[rigid vault]

yeah i try to follow that strat with all of my apps

but i keep imagining myself getting this likely letter which is top tier delulu behavior

☠️

[merry pawn]

SAME

[rigid vault]

i had a dream a few months ago where i get accepted into yale but i get rejected from mit

[merry pawn]

especially since I haven't even gotten an interview and I have Bs in core classes x_x

[merry pawn]

I would take that lol

[rigid vault]

which is weird because it was during ed/ea season and i ed'ed columbia

[vague pecan]

My avg dream: getting chased by a human shark under water while I randomly switch places

[rigid vault]

thats my usual dream

but sometimes i have more realistic dreams

[timber plaza]

no real

like its hard

cus really idgaf

like yale more like yucky jail

but also

uwshjwdjdwjdjwq

it would be sexyy

[vague pecan]

Bro can I get into skibidi uni?

[timber plaza]

but idgaf

[vague pecan]

It's my dream

[timber plaza]

life too short

[vague pecan]

I'll pay fanum tax

[rigid vault]

my usual dreams are like zombie apocalypse, scp foundation type stuff, eldritch horror, etc etc

[vague pecan]

Even shorter when no Harvard, Yale interview 💔

[merry pawn]

Same lol

[rigid vault]

if u donate a toilet we'll review your application favorably

[vague pecan]

Does it have to be skibidi toilet?

[rigid vault]

yeah ☠️

[rigid vault]

preferably

have you visited our campus?

[vague pecan]

"there's nothing preferable in college admissions, it's a requirement" ~ Kai cenat, a worried applicant

[vague pecan]

Virtually yea

[rigid vault]

okay okay we do track demonstrated interest so thats a +

we'll release our decisions in 3/28/2030 around 7pm EST so it's gonna be out soon!!

[vague pecan]

Can I get a likely?

[rigid vault]

Dear @vague pecan,

The admission committee has reviewed your application and would like to notify you of being a likely admit to our famed university! Please make sure to immediately withdraw all applications (especially HYPSM and Ivies) and hang tight until our decision date! Thank you for your interest in Skibidi Toilet University.

From, STU Admission Committee

[rigid vault]

this is a very real and verified likely letter 😄

[vague pecan]

HOLY SH......
@timber plaza
Finally

Dream come true

[rigid vault]

we love making skibidi dreams come true

[timber plaza]

what ab me

:((

[vague pecan]

@mental hound can my friend get in too?

[ruby marten]

can i get a likely letter without an interview </3

[karmic rampart]

if you were an autoaccept prolly lol

[merry pawn]

Yale I love you pleaseeee

Oh who am I kidding I'm gonna get rejected but a girl can dream

[plucky burrow]

wait for yale

stem research supplement

what if my research is kinda stem but not really

like social sciences dupe

[merry pawn]

I have no idea

Otherwise I would submit my philosophy paper

Definitely not x_x

But I mean it's a paper nonetheless

I'm probably gonna email and ask

[merry pawn]

Okay now I'm paranoid that if I email and ask they think I'm incapable of following instructions because philosophy is as far as you can get from STEM

But uhhh

Idk

And my paper wasn't like research research

No experiments and whatnot but it is technically research

[plucky burrow]

is public health stem

[winter quail]

yea

[zenith iron]

Writing research as a high schooler is insane

[stiff merlin]

Where to submit loci

[merry pawn]

I know

I have no idea how they do it

[timber plaza]

no fr

why is it so common here 😭😭

ppl crazy

[unborn sundial]

Idk

It's fun

The amount of Yale students saying they don't know anyone who didn't get an interview is scaring me

It's over

[timber plaza]

me w harvard☹️☹️☹️

[vague pecan]

Us

[unborn sundial]

Me with both harvard and yale 😭

At least duke maybe wants me

[vague pecan]

Me with all 3 💔

[merry pawn]

should I still submit my philosophy research paper? I have no idea 😭

[timber plaza]

i feel like it seems stem only idk

[unborn sundial]

Yeah that's basically it

It's a STEM research paper

It is kind of ironic that a leading liberal arts college can't evaluate a philosophy research paper

[merry pawn]

I might submit it anyways lol

I mean there's no harm I guess

[merry pawn]

exactly lol

[merry pawn]

I don't know if my thing is good enough to submit though

Ughhh

[desert light]

Since I haven’t gotten an interview, I’m indubitably an auto-admit. Therefore, I’m joyful to announce my acceptance to Yale. 🙌

[sharp mesa]

OMG cant wait to see you there ❤️

[glad tundra]

does a yale interview mean much

[timber plaza]

ong

im going to jail

[agile finch]

it means that youve gotten an interview, thats pretty much all

[timber plaza]

yale more like kale

[plucky burrow]

do you think public health falls under here

[glad tundra]

alr bet

im tryna not be stressed

[timber plaza]

seems stem ish no idk

[timber plaza]

interview is p light idk but i got a creep

so it was weird asf

😭

[glad tundra]

wym

[timber plaza]

but if u get a good person!!! it should be chill

well bro was questioning my whole academic record ong

asked me my gpa, sat, ap classes + scores, psat, class rank

which im p sure ur not supposed to do

[glad tundra]

Yeah i feel like they're not

[timber plaza]

then asked weird ahh qs ab my race

"what language is spoken at home"ahh

[glad tundra]

yo what

[timber plaza]

70 year old white men r shitty interviewers

not all of them im sure

i js didnt lukc out bro 💀

i hope that didnt cook my app

😭

[glad tundra]

hmmm okay

[timber plaza]

cus he asked me my thoughts ok tiktok

ban

[glad tundra]

LOL

[timber plaza]

and bro didnt give me his answer

so what if he thinks im a commie

[glad tundra]

u got any tips of what to prepare

[timber plaza]

uhh i have like a list of interview q's i can find them lol

i js compiled everything i've been asked

[glad tundra]

bless me

[timber plaza]

okay so they will only ask like 5 questions

so dw

i js like to prep all

anyways for the tellme ab yourself

start w ur background, maybe dive into ur passions, ecs, then connect 2 school (or not)

oh and make sure u do ur research js for some clubs + why us portion

and def make up some questions

to ask em

ab their experience, things they liked, fave memory, etc

[glad tundra]

thanks

[timber plaza]

yea yale asked me ab roommate tooo

but it was more like

the harvard roommate essay lol

[elfin narwhal]

woah i could go on days yapping about any of these

[timber plaza]

real

no cus my prep consists of talking to myself ab all of these questions

[elfin narwhal]

LMAOO

[timber plaza]

LMAOO it’s like therapy fr

[merry pawn]

I would say yes

[karmic rampart]

based on the fact that somewhere around 90% of yale enrolled students get an interview, i think it’s fair to say it’s a good sign

[glad tundra]

where is this stat from

[merry pawn]

My parents want me to write a research paper in a week to submit to yale cause I mentioned potentially submitting my philosophy paper

Ugh

I'm too depressed and burnt out for this

I will admit the topic I have is kinda interesting

But the past few days I have NOT been doing too well mentally and I don't have the energy 😭

I have no idea if I should

[velvet field]

ChatGPT 💪

Jk

[merry pawn]

I don't trust my writing quality LOL

[merry pawn]

THAT'S WHAT MY MOM SAID

I said no obviously

[velvet field]

LOL

[merry pawn]

Cause chatgpt sucks for this stuff

[velvet field]

If you’re good with it it works well

It’s the person who can make or break ChatGPT

That sounds corny

[merry pawn]

At most maybe using it for grammar corrections or using it like an editor to give me feedback

But chatgpt is incapable of coming up with persuasive and unique arguments

If I do use chatgpt I would not trust the quality

But if I write my own I definitely wouldn't trust the quality

Sooo

idk if I want to even try cause I know I'm gonna get rejected so what's the point

[velvet field]

Lmfao I mean feed it good data it would be good but takes time

[merry pawn]

At that point it might be easier to just write it myself 😭

okay let's be real

The main reason is cause I would feel too guilty using it if I get accepted lol

idk I can barely get myself up in the mornings and do my hw and now I have to write this freaking research paper on top of this? 😭

The past month I've been waking up quite literally 10 minutes before I have to leave to get to school on time

Sooo uhhh I have NOT been presentable lol

I do not have the energy or motivation for this

[velvet field]

I mean I don’t think it’s that worth it

[merry pawn]

Idk we'll see maybe it's just cause I'm not in a good mood rn that I'm so resistant to it

I need a break from life 😭

Cause I know for a fact I'm gonna want to kms if I get rejected and I'll always wonder what if

But realistically I'm gonna get rejected anyways so what's the point

It'll just be a waste of time

[velvet field]

Lmfao that’s valid

[velvet field]

Bruh it’s not that deep trust me

[karmic rampart]

iirc i saw it in a few reddit threads, but its based on admitted students' anecdotal experience on campus

few ppl said 90% few ppl said 95% (of the people they encountered on campus had an interview)

[steel notch]

like to just compile one or start a proj from scratch

💀

ye

but if u have a proj done

[merry pawn]

That's what I told my parents and they don't believe me

Ughhh I give up I hate life lol

Jeez 18 is crazy

My philosophy paper took like a month to write but it was a lot shorter

They actually wanted me to write it by the end of the week

I said it wouldn't be enough time so they said I get one week to do it

But whatever I'm not getting accepted anyways so I'm probably not going to do it

[elfin narwhal]

not possible to do in a week

proper research will take time

[merry pawn]

Please tell my parents that lol

[slender marten]

ask them to help you write it then

[ebon goblet]

what was the typical length for a tale interview

[sharp mesa]

Tale

[median echo]

you poor poor thing

do not do that

[earnest kelp]

yall can literally chill with the research papers

no one is expecting a high schooler to have done significant research

[ebon goblet]

you are not writing a research paper with quality sources, explanations and implications within a week

research is not just pulling up google and analyzing findings about a fact

[merry pawn]

THAT'S WHAT I'M TELLING MY PARENTS

ugh

They don't believe me

[ebon goblet]

💀

[merry pawn]

Cause I'd rather not submit anything at all instead of a poor quality paper

I feel pressured to do what my parents want me to do cause they're being so passive aggressive about it

[fluid gulch]

just like lie and say u did because there is no way u will produce a good paper in ur time

[ebon goblet]

i think just tell them straight up

[merry pawn]

They're like "okay if you don't want to write it and want to give up on all your college chances then you do you"

[ebon goblet]

also the colleges literally do NOT look at a 30 page paper

[merry pawn]

Then they started talking about how my state school will be the only school I'm gonna get accepted to

[merry pawn]

They'll ask to read it, I've already thought of that

[timber plaza]

bro what

who tf gets in cus of a research paper

[plain rover]

Am I fawked if they haven't given me an interview

[timber plaza]

(i dont know how to write a research paper)

[plain rover]

Like are they done giving those out

[primal needle]

its fun to present a paper

writing is boring

[merry pawn]

I applied as a cog sci major and I don't have any cog sci activities

[timber plaza]

bro so how tf u doing research

at liek 17

[primal needle]

maybe u dont need one

[merry pawn]

I said cog sci cause it helps with design

[merry pawn]

EXACTLY

[timber plaza]

well tbf i apply econ but no econ ecs

[vague pecan]

Pretty easy honestly

[timber plaza]

js got my econ teacher lor

LMAOOo

[primal needle]

🤔 ITS FUN!!! when u do 1 then u get the hang of it

[merry pawn]

Reading random articles about cog sci does not prepare me for a paper

[timber plaza]

but i did poli sci too

[primal needle]

tho mine are more of innovations than research

stem is wierd

[timber plaza]

but i do have poli sci ecs its chill ig..

thats why i pick double major 💀

[timber plaza]

ok cool

i dont do stem 🤓

[primal needle]

💀does major matter for ivy?

[ebon goblet]

no

i think more so how your passions relate to major

is the key rather than just what major you select

[primal needle]

🥴 ong i would have done business major if not for ma parents

[plain rover]

Girl pls 😭

[ebon goblet]

that was the case in my interview

[primal needle]

mm valid

[plain rover]

Are they done giving them out tho

[timber plaza]

WHY DONT THEY LIKE IT??

that seems fine

[ebon goblet]

wait @timber plaza what were your interview questions

[primal needle]

if any intl gets it and u in us dont then imagine urself as fk

[ebon goblet]

aside from why yale, background, major, etc. it went on about books and future job

[primal needle]

💀 Poor + business doesnt sound right

[plain rover]

Did intls get it yet

[ebon goblet]

oh favorite class was also one

[primal needle]

not yet

prolly mid feb

[plain rover]

Ok....

[timber plaza]

ermm

• what would you tell your yale roommate about you
• thoughts on tiktok ban
• some politics stuff
• ecs
• grades

💀 1/2 the interview was my grades dawg

bro idk he was not a good interviewer

[ebon goblet]

so we had diff intv questions

[timber plaza]

god i cant remember what else

yea

[ebon goblet]

because tiktok ban and modern stuff wasn't there

[primal needle]

nah r u a toper or something???

💀y grades

[timber plaza]

wtf r u talkin ab

[primal needle]

in an interview

[timber plaza]

because he wanted to know EVERYTHING man

[primal needle]

just talk about food man

[timber plaza]

my grades, class rank, ap scores, ap classes, sat, psat

bro literally asked ab the psat bro

[ebon goblet]

yeah

cooked

😭 omg

[primal needle]

🦅 did he say welcome to yale at the end

[timber plaza]

not my fault 💔

[ebon goblet]

mine didnt ask about academics at all she asked for my fav teachers names and why

[primal needle]

like after this much interogation, i better get a personal acceptance letter

[timber plaza]

he js said i like ur personality, good fit for yale, and thank u for not making me go outside in negative weather.

💀

[primal needle]

u be telling ur whole profile in interview

[ebon goblet]

when is my likely letter 📙

[timber plaza]

him "ik yale has this info"

-still asks it

[primal needle]

u play sports?

[ebon goblet]

no chat

:(

[primal needle]

😭

[ebon goblet]

i just want my likely

a man can dream

[agile finch]

LMAO

[timber plaza]

bro im cooked

[primal needle]

ngl the more u dream the more it hurts at the end

[agile finch]

yeah sometimes they just want to evaluate ur academic rigor

[timber plaza]

no cus hes like 70

so i guess like

he used to ask that

[ebon goblet]

it does

[agile finch]

so they can give you a high academic score

[ebon goblet]

but yknow

[timber plaza]

when admissions was more academics based idk

[ebon goblet]

until marc

[primal needle]

like college rejections from the college u be dreaming about hurts more than breakups

[timber plaza]

cus he started interviewing in 1977

💀

per the linkedin

[agile finch]

yeah because in old interviewing rubrics, the Academic rating is based on test score, so you need to weasel it out of them

[primal needle]

💀 nah nah u should have come out in -ve temprature

[timber plaza]

ohh okay

[agile finch]

nowadays, yale and harvard alumni are specifically told NOT to ask the person about their scores

[plain rover]

Ok whatevsss yale isn't even good for engineering anyways like I didn't even want an interview ugh 🙄

[agile finch]

so your dude mightve broken a rule

[timber plaza]

erm but they still asked me wtf

why does bro wanna know my psat score

i js said i did bad

[primal needle]

u engineering major? ayyy hellooo me too

[ebon goblet]

tbh he mightve not had an updated one...

[timber plaza]

bro i was like "haha sorry i got a 3 on euro i didnt really study"

[ebon goblet]

💀

[timber plaza]

bro literally bro why

[agile finch]

yeah, that just means if you did terribly on the interview, you can email the school and ask them to not consider it and theyll remove it from your file

[plain rover]

Yess which engineering ru

[agile finch]

if it went well, dont worry!

[timber plaza]

he acc demented bro

[primal needle]

environmental or chemical depends what i do but more towards enviro

[timber plaza]

well i mean he liked me

i got the old man to smile

[plain rover]

Omgg I'm chemical

[timber plaza]

cheer up a bit

[primal needle]

💀 u should have asked him where did his kid go to

[agile finch]

yeah then dont worry about it

[timber plaza]

but again, it was a weird ass interview

but he was like ur a good fit

[ebon goblet]

probably look it up atp

[primal needle]

🔥 AYOOO felow chemical major

[timber plaza]

so do i keep

💀

[agile finch]

sometimes when the interviewer breaks a rule, the interview goes poorly. so you can request it to be not considered and theyll remove it

but usually its no biggie

[timber plaza]

bro i dont know if he has a kid

[ebon goblet]

what ARE the rules

[primal needle]

dream for darty, yale is a cheater

[timber plaza]

i tried to get him to talk ab his wife

yk

cus he was like u need to date in college

again, hes 70 + im 17

maybe not the best pt of convo

[ebon goblet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/1i54bch/yale_interview_went_for_4_hours_what_my/

[primal needle]

[timber plaza]

"lots of eligible bachelors"

[ebon goblet]

politics should not have been discussed

[timber plaza]

bro who tf uses the term bachelors

[timber plaza]

oh.

[agile finch]

dont talk about politics, dont ask test scores, dont talk about race, dont comment on anything appearance related (including in a background if its virtual)

[timber plaza]

bro did 3/4 HELPP

no cus hes like

"what language is spoken at home"

bro wtf

[agile finch]

dont talk about other schools, dont ask if they're applying to other schools

[timber plaza]

[primal needle]

doesnt mater for 80 yr old interviewers

[timber plaza]

bro interrogated tf outta me ong

[ebon goblet]

you might want to consider like

[agile finch]

lol or 20 year old interviewers

[ebon goblet]

[primal needle]

[timber plaza]

[lime scaffold]

whats the latest interview date estimated?

[agile finch]

for yale? march 1

[lime scaffold]

Thx

[zenith iron]

I haven’t seen anyone that had a similar interview experience to me yet

Does Yale not have guidelines?

[agile finch]

they have plenty of guidelines

whether your interviewer followed them or not is a diff story

[timber plaza]

mine didnt ahh

[vague pecan]

🤨

imagine he said "you would not be a good fit"
THEN that would have certainly been a problem 😭

[zenith iron]

Mine asked very philosophical questions about my character, cut it off at exactly 30 minutes of speaking, and said he’d talk to me again but never did

[timber plaza]

well dawg that doesnt excuse what he asked

😭

sure i'll take the compliment

he js shouldbt be interviewing

[slender marten]

I honestly had no idea there were bad interviewers out there until I joined A2C. It shouldn't have surprised me, but ... if you're going to volunteer your time, why would you spend it intentionally shitting on a high schooler?

[timber plaza]

fair

mine didnt trash on me

he js asked weird q's

ab all my acadmeic stuff

and my race/background

:(

and weird political q's

me when yale least fave interview ong

[slender marten]

jebus... that's literally .. I ... I'm sorry

I would notify Yale, honestly

[timber plaza]

no idk cus they werent TOO bad

he js like

😭 asked me "what language is spoken at home" like erm

ofc i am chinese so like

bro was js assuming stuff

asked me ab tiktok ban no context (prolly had to do w my background)

but bro should not be interviewing 💀

cus he spent like 5-10 mins focused on my academics

like aps + sat

[glad tundra]

isnt it supposed to be more convo

isnt of just talking abt ur achievements

[timber plaza]

yes bro 😭

and bro didnt do that

i mean sure i talked ab other stuff

but it was like 1/3 acadmeics

and js stuff u can find on my app

bro literally probed for my psat score

💀

i js said "yea i didnt do good"

and he stopped asking ig

[slender marten]

Literally sounds like they had an agenda. Which is not ok

[timber plaza]

i kid u not he asked "WOW! how did u study for the sat"

💀 mfwhy u gotta know

[timber plaza]

idk helpp 😭 i may report it

js cause why tf is bro interviewing

[glad tundra]

oh hell nahhh

report that

u dont want it negatively affecting u

[slender marten]

There' should be a liason you can email

[timber plaza]

ngl my georgetown interviewer ased ab like race buuut okay they were kinda weird but at least she came from a place of like

concern

i mean maybe she shouldnt have

but it felt less interrogating

more curiosity ig

💀 but bro made me so uncomfortable

[glad tundra]

whats up with these interviewers dawg

[timber plaza]

what a 70 y/o white man does to u

[slender marten]

I guess the pandemic affected them too??? Wtf

[timber plaza]

oh yea also bro was like gentrification made new haven sm better!!! when i was a student i barely left campus cus it was so sketchy

💀

and then oh yea he also interviews for princeton but then started calling the kids classist + racist + anti-social

ermmm im p sure they dont need that representation

[slender marten]

Um. You're not allowed to interview for two schools

[timber plaza]

oh reallyy

it says on his linkedin

😭

[slender marten]

I could interview for Princeton and Harvard

[timber plaza]

i wonder if he stopped

[glad tundra]

qhasti where do/did u go

[slender marten]

Why tf would you put interviewer on your linked on

[timber plaza]

in the volunteering section

💀

again the intrview kinda fucked me up

[glad tundra]

wow what a kind samaritan

[slender marten]

Still stupid

[timber plaza]

i mean he said i was a good fit okay

cool

bit means nothing

[glad tundra]

do they say that usually?

[timber plaza]

idk

😭

js didnt wanna hear it from him ahh

[glad tundra]

are they supposed to hype u up

[timber plaza]

idkk

[glad tundra]

i was under the impkression they supposed to be nonchalant

[slender marten]

Reach out to Yale

[timber plaza]

ok yea

[slender marten]

At least for Princeton, we have liasons for this reason

[timber plaza]

it js doesnt seem allat serious tho

😭

i mean i was def weirded out

ig idk

but i dont want anyone getting him as interviewer

[slender marten]

They're supposed to be ambassadors..

[timber plaza]

oh really

help

💀

not even undergrad

[glad tundra]

chat am i cooked

[timber plaza]

ok right

[timber plaza]

as long as u dont have mine u chillin

bro wtf i say in the email then "oh yea my interviewer focused an obscene amt on my academics which is silly cus they have allat info & asked some weird ass q's ab my race"

is that enough ig

bro also asked me 4 other colleges

bc like

i js said "oh illinois schools"

then bro started listing out schools

"whats ur safety"

[slender marten]

I mean, I would phrase it more formally. But yeah

[timber plaza]

ok yes

LMAO

[merry pawn]

Disagree, focusing so much about race and other schools is kinda unprofessional

[merry pawn]

Yep ngl this is the kind of stuff chatgpt is for lol

[karmic rampart]

interviewers have academic info? i was told the only thing they have is the major u applied for

[timber plaza]

real HELPP

[timber plaza]

no he asked for it all 💀

loterally told him my bad ao scores

cus he wouldn’t stop asking bro

AP**

[merry pawn]

Yale I love you but I think we need to break up, your lack of commitment is negatively damaging our relationship

You keep cheating on me with all these interviews with other applicants yet claim that you're not ready for my interview... please stop lying to me

I think we need to go our separate ways 💔

[slender marten]

come up with some metric that evaluates academic potential by some combination of SAT and GPA, sort by highest to lowest, estimate a cutoff line, distribute applications to regional AOs to review in that order, let them decide....

not saying it's "fair", but it's a structured way to get at the problem

[karmic rampart]

don't they do 1st read before interviews get sent out? so i thought its more than just SAT/GPA

it also doesnt make sense that only 15% of people would meet the standard of high SAT/GPA

[slender marten]

no idea, it was just a guess at the process

[merry pawn]

I won a gold key from scholastic for my philosophy paper so now I'm actually seriously considering submitting it to Yale just cause

x_x

[merry pawn]

Ouch so they straight up said no interview?

Trust you'll get in anyways

Ouchh

It's okay trust

Give them some time

That's me with Yale rn

But it's okay Yale and I broke up sooooo idc who it cheats on me with now lol

[elfin narwhal]

bro

the dyson girl dmed me

🙏🏿

hopefully she doesnt throw another dyson at my face again

[merry pawn]

What girl?

[elfin narwhal]

i got my ex a dyson and she got mad and threw it at me

[merry pawn]

BRO WHAT

that's crazy

Uhhh at least none of my exes have thrown stuff at me

[merry pawn]

What did she say?

[elfin narwhal]

she was like i asked for a dyson

not a dyson vaccum bro

😭

idk what bro wanted

[merry pawn]

x_x

If there's one life lesson I've learned

It's to not buy your partner gifts

Cause you're gonna break up

And lose all that money

[elfin narwhal]

oh

yeah

she wants me back bro

imma hi

say bet

[merry pawn]

NO

omg do not take her back

Nothing good can come from that

Don't fall victim to the sunk cost fallacy

[elfin narwhal]

oh,,,

but she wants me bro

[merry pawn]

I'm so serious don't fall victim to it you WILL regret it

Okay call me a pessimist

But honestly the idea of relationships are flawed in a lot of ways

Like the divorce rate is 50%

A lot of people who stay married aren't happy

And

Do you really want to date someone who threw a Dyson at you 😭

[steel notch]

why is it genuinely the same 3 people talking

[merry pawn]

Because I'm chronically online

😭

I've given up on relationships for a reason lol and now I'm spreading my pessimism around

My 7 year old self will never get her dream of getting married fulfilled 🥲

LOL gl

[merry pawn]

Also can I just say

How it's funny that I still watch wedding dress videos x_x

BUT TO BE FAIR

THEY'RE PRETTY

LET A GIRL DREAM

18 lol

I'M A PESSIMIST let me be pessimistic in peace 😭

Also it's night and I get even more pessimistic than usual at night x_x

I'll reset in the morning

You have never seen my relationship history 😭

My friends joke I have the worst taste cause I always somehow manage to choose the biggest walking red flags

And every time I get feelings for someone it's 100% rose tinted glasses and I ignore all red flags until it's too late x_x

Ik it's crazy it's like "oh you'll definitely get accepted into Yale!"

If only AOs thought that way ;-;

THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS RIGHT EITHER

One time my mom even liked one of them

Then a few months later

She admitted she was wrong

Another time my friends thought this guy was great

They were wrong too

By the time they realize it's always too late

The cycle goes:

Me and my friends both love them

My friends hate them but I insist that it'll work out

My friends beg me to break up with them but I tell them they're being paranoid

We break up x_x

I tell it to be harsh but then it bashes me so hard 😭

That's me with one of my friends lol

her boyfriends all suck

And the only reason why I think that

Is cause she has terrible taste

And therefore

My first response is always "I don't trust him"

[elfin narwhal]

ILL FIX HER BRO

[merry pawn]

That's what they all say 😭

[elfin narwhal]

what do we when see a red flag?

we go

[merry pawn]

For me I feel like in almost all cases the person wasn't bad but the relationship was bad

LOL

[merry pawn]

Except in one case and I'm actually so confused I've been having crisises over who was the bad one in that case I've had people tell me that I'm overreacting and also people telling me to call the police and it's driving me crazy 😭

[elfin narwhal]

he didnt

[merry pawn]

LOL

[elfin narwhal]

yes bro

we get it

[merry pawn]

Oh I've given up x_x

[elfin narwhal]

Mr pickle beans isnt out here to eat ur social security number serena

[merry pawn]

But my Instagram and whatnot is all private

Oh I'm keeping like private forever

I have no sense of Internet safety on discord but it's like fairly anonymous here

But Instagram?

No

Private forever

[elfin narwhal]

bruh

my ap gov teacher has a private account

like i lowk was tryna stalk his insta

[merry pawn]

Like worst case scenario I delete my discord account but Instagram would be so much harder

[elfin narwhal]

🙏🏿

[merry pawn]

LOL

[elfin narwhal]

what happened

💀

[merry pawn]

Also I have one ex I have blocked on everything like I don't want him to know ANYTHING about me and it's gotten to the point where I don't want to put anything on my Instagram bio cause that part isn't private x_x

Ouch

I feel like off whatever stuff I've shared here

Like if you know me irl you'll recognize me

But if you don't know me

you won't be able to find me

[elfin narwhal]

yes

[merry pawn]

I have one classmate here who I am severely hoping does not lurk here

One friend and she's chill so idc

[elfin narwhal]

NAW

WHY IS MYRTLE SO FREAKY

😭 🙏🏿

LMAOO

which one

[merry pawn]

😭

I'm so glad that none of my exes are here

[elfin narwhal]

o

[merry pawn]

Especially one of them cause if he were here I would legit have to leave this server

And I don't want to do that

Or at least create an alt

I need to use an alt here x_x

Ouch yeah

honestly

discord should do this feature

Where you can check which one of your friends is on a server

And which of the people you have blocked

[elfin narwhal]

u do

mutual servers

[merry pawn]

Yeah but you have to check friends individually

And I don't have time for that x_x

[elfin narwhal]

huh

oh

lmaoo

oh

yeah

yeah

i got in

i think i did

a while back

[merry pawn]

[elfin narwhal]

[merry pawn]

[elfin sky]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1225362683872804986.webp?size=48&name=Mewing2

[elfin sky]

Yeah gf's family is temporarily housing me so it's whatever

but like if you know anyone who's about to experience homelessness Lmk

[merry pawn]

That's good

LOL

x_x

[elfin sky]

Do you all know blair

[merry pawn]

My brother has trash talked people while playing call of duty and he's a literal toddler

[elfin sky]

Didn't think the yale thread would be active

[merry pawn]

LOL nice

[elfin sky]

🍵

[merry pawn]

I have a few minor grudges against a few people and uh not proud to admit it but sometimes I do get slightly smug when I hear about a rejection

[elfin sky]

I wasn't that involved in hs in regards to ppl's acceptances/rejections

I thought NU was a bad school when i applied lol

I didn't check usnews rankings

[elfin narwhal]

I love Texas

[merry pawn]

So far no one I hated has gotten into a school they liked so we're chilling lol

[elfin sky]

Alas that may also be why im in cc

[elfin narwhal]

Big homes

Bro

No state tax

[elfin sky]

💯 supporting the hater arc

[elfin narwhal]

Bro how

[merry pawn]

Okay I don't really hate people but like I have grudges 😭

[elfin sky]

The top 2 of our school lied to get into UC Berkeley & Cornell take that for what u will

ecs

& cheated on a lot of stuff

How much time spent on certain roles when they never actually pulled up for them

my school wasn't bay area crazy but it might as well have been if we had research opportunities

[merry pawn]

Lowkey same but one of them only has one extracurricular which is debate so ngl he's kinda screwed

The reason I have a grudge against him is one time in 6th grade we were talking about an upcoming test and I mentioned that I studied for it and he said that it was so easy so he didn't study at all so I've had a grudge since then LOL

[elfin sky]

Yeah they basically didnt

They pulled up like

once

twice

maybe

[merry pawn]

Jeez

[elfin sky]

My dumbass gave them an officer role because of their good resume

for our robotics club

whatever i guess bro has like regents @ berkeley or whatever

idgaf

bro was probably LI idk

I have a couple of haters

a couple opps at my school

[merry pawn]

Ouch

[elfin sky]

Im hoping to get into berkeley though

so

i also have more ig followers so who's really winning

[merry pawn]

My least favorite ex and the only person I truly hate is doing terribly and last I heard he was about to flunk out of college lol

[elfin sky]

the loser girl from hs or them getting drunk as hell

1.8k

I was at like

200

start of cc

i wasnt that popular in hs

Yeah

I dont recommend unless you can

bother to get bullied by parents

[merry pawn]

I'm the opposite of popular x_x

[elfin sky]

Thats why im homeless

[elfin sky]

Im not popular, just somewhat sociable

Honestly any of the ucs/csus are alright

Especially if you're stem tangential or anything with good market right now

[merry pawn]

I feel like I'm an ambivert but people have told me that they've mistaken me for an extrovert before soooo

[elfin sky]

Issue is just dont expect to be working in faang or whatever

But like as long as youre content with life i think thats all that matters

My family was somewhat wealthy but i left that lifestyle for like

living myself

Cc is alright it's just very socially dead

Like you have to go out of your way to make friends

I think it depends

though

& also your major

If you're in stem you have mesa pipeline

For what career

I think ucr but i forget

Idk

I dont hold a strong opinion i just know more bio/psych/etc people that go there

& also i dont really like ucsc culture personally since it is heavy left leaning but that is a discussion that you could inquire in dms about

I will say that

UCs freshman year are always a gamble

Because ucs arent really a statistics check at all

unless you're in cc

[merry pawn]

My mom told me to not go to UPenn cause the people there are too ugly

She also told me to not go to an all girls LAC cause it'll be impossible for me to find a boyfriend x_x

[elfin sky]

Like i have 4.0 GPA & lower divs and im pretty confident with berkeley

The only girl i know that is hot is my gf

😋

no shes so bad

like shes so cute too

wth

[merry pawn]

Yeah growing up she was like "college is for learning. Don't you dare do anything other than study." and now she's like "the most important thing to do in college is get a good boyfriend" x_x

Oh my parents want me to date LOL

[elfin sky]

If you go to college

Like dorm or whatever

Highly recommend

[merry pawn]

My mom once told me to let her know if I ever needed her to buy me condoms x_x

[elfin sky]
