Yale University (2024-2025)

[cedar kettle]

YES ITS SO FUN

I was outside in a t shirt and it felt so awesome

Is this TD?

[latent mulch]

yes :D

you could probably figure out my room from this sob

[cedar kettle]

I…have not been to td that often

[latent mulch]

you're not missing out on much lowkey

[cedar kettle]

Lowkey I forget sometimes that we live that close to each other ‘cause I haven’t met you haha

[cedar kettle]

Your dining hall is so empty tho it’s an actual godsend

[latent mulch]

ive met a lot of the yale a2c discord users, especially the older ones

[cedar kettle]

Silliman dining hall lowkey a hell zone

[latent mulch]

one of the reddit admins was c/o 24

and former admin here is c/o 25

[latent mulch]

tbh

[cedar kettle]

Woahhhh

That’s so cool

[latent mulch]

sold out to the consulting gods

[cedar kettle]

True true

[cedar kettle]

?

I kinda wonder if I’ve ever run into you on campus without realizing

[tawny wagon]

it’s bc a lot of stem kids get into yale but not the more stem known schools so they try to cope 😭

[dark idol]

i went on a subreddit

for a small engineering school near boston once

and the kids there were coping about how they spoke to a dude one time like 15 eyars ago that said he preferred that schools grads over MIT

and i was like

dawg the last time yall were peer schools was in 1960

[tawny wagon]

😭

[dark idol]

its just cope

[bold current]

Olin?

[dark idol]

WPI

[bold current]

Ahhh

[dark idol]

olin being peer school to MIT is valid cuz im p sure half the faculty are from there anyways

but like...

idk bro

[bold current]

Yeah

Olin is goated

Wish i applied 💔

[dark idol]

olin has 3 majors vro

[compact wren]

[dusky bough]

my friend visited pomona and loved it

[timber plaza]

yess

lol idk why ia int do pomona

;(

[violet crown]

Bro applied to all of them

[dusky bough]

how many schools did u apply to lool

[timber plaza]

no i didnt 🤓

i did like 26

[violet crown]

My parents aren't very supportive of LAC so I only applied to Williams

[timber plaza]

oh fair

[violet crown]

26 LACs or 26 total schools

[timber plaza]

helpp asian parents

bro

[dusky bough]

zamn

[timber plaza]

no 26 total

i told themw hat an lac was

[dusky bough]

i thought my 19 was a lot

[timber plaza]

and they were like not into it 💀

[violet crown]

I had 27 💀

[timber plaza]

i dontthink they understand that only being a 4yr school isnt a bad thing

[bold current]

I did 30 😭

[sturdy needle]

i did 15 😭

and it would have been 14 if not for Northwestern that kept pestering me almost a month after deadline 😭

[dusky bough]

i feel like 14-17 is the perfect amount

[dark idol]

i have more than 17 reaches

[dusky bough]

would u go to all of them tho

[dark idol]

i'll get myr esults back and make a decision

[dusky bough]

i feel like with reaches

its cool to apply because theyre good schools but not all of them r a good fit for u

like if i went back i might cut down my list a lil

[dusky bough]

wait did u acc apply to 17 reaches lol

[dark idol]

way more

[dusky bough]

theres no way u acc want to go to all of those schools tho?

[dark idol]

if u filter by acceptance rate for CS majors (and OOS where applicable) i think

27 of my 28 schools

are under 25%

therefore reach

so

27 reach 1 safety

not too shabby

[dusky bough]

interesting

[dark idol]

well

i only applied to schools i was sure i would do fine at

and also like

i dont mean anything implied by this but when ur applying as a cs major

its just lowkey

kind of hard

so i just wanted to cast a wide enough net to sort of mitigate that

[dusky bough]

i did 5 xtreme reaches, 5 reaches, 6 targets, 3 safeties

[dark idol]

i havent classified my list in terms of extreme vs regular reach but i do remember that i applied to 19 of the top 21 best CS schools

excluding caltech and wisconsin

[dusky bough]

hm

idk i just feel like sure prestige is nice but u should also go to a school that you like

yk

[dark idol]

o ya true

i obviously have my preferences but i know id do my best to integrate

at pretty much most of my list

[dusky bough]

like yale isnt the best for stem (it is still yale...) but i really do like yale

[dark idol]

i REA'd yale

even tho its not the best for stem

[dusky bough]

like i didnt apply to purdue or uiuc or really good stem skls

[dark idol]

cuz the

wlb

seemed really nice

[dusky bough]

wlb?

[dark idol]

work life balance

[dusky bough]

ya

[dark idol]

yale kids seem like theyre having a good time

[dusky bough]

did u apply mich

[dark idol]

ya

they should let me in fr

they deferred me tho

😧

[dusky bough]

rip

[dark idol]

word

we're waiting on that

very patiently

[dusky bough]

wait so when u applied was income after graduation ur biggest factor

[dark idol]

nah

[dusky bough]

i feel like theres so much variability btwn the top 20 cs skls yk

[dark idol]

i would take a slightly lower ranked CS education for a better student life

[dusky bough]

like mit is wayy diff than purdue

[dark idol]

thats why yale and duke were my #2 and #3 choices

ahead of like

princeton and MIT

[dusky bough]

ah

ya i ead mit but i dont think i would like it there very much

[dark idol]

i feel like i'd be able to do well career wise

from

any remotely decent CS program

[dusky bough]

yeah

esp with like yale like u have the yale name

[dark idol]

so i wanted good researcho pportunities good job placements and good social life

yeah

like

if u cant get a job from yale cs

and u start coping

"yale is mid for stem"

like cmon bruh

[dusky bough]

lol

idk what major i would do

[dark idol]

ya im kinda wishy washy w mit princeton

[dusky bough]

i think i want to do eecs

i didnt apply to princeton/cornell

[dark idol]

idk how much id like it there

[dark idol]

i applied to princeton only cuz of yale rejection

and uh

i dont even remember why i applied cornell

i dont really like the school

[dusky bough]

ya it seems rlly depressing

[dark idol]

i think i just applied cuz my mom told me too or sumn

cuz atp i had shot everything i wanted to shoot

[sturdy needle]

yeah
and I got an acceptance in the early round so that automatically just made me reduce my list 😭

[meager mango]

I did 27 or sum

[shy carbon]

i know this is a timelapse but i’d like to pretend everyone irl is actually running around like little ants in the snow for the sake of comedy

[latent mulch]

no this is real time

idk what makes u think its a timelapse

[shy carbon]

i’m sorry for doubting the speed of yalies

i should have known they can only move at a fast pace no matter what the situation is..

[violet crown]

I applied to 23 💀

23 reaches

1 target

3 safeties

[cedar kettle]

Help 😭

Shotgunning to the max I see

[cedar kettle]

Yeah when you get to Yale you get the power to speed up time. It’s gifted to you during first year dinner /j

[violet crown]

Obligate shotgunner due to my parents

[slender marten]

could be an obligate anerobe

[timber plaza]

help real

i did like 22 reaches, 2 targets, 2 safeties

except i guess the targets are like 20% 💀💀💀💀

well lehigh was

but uiuc is like 20% for first choice major, 40% for second

anyways worked out🥱🥱 pls clutch up reach

[compact wren]

Ur not alone I only applied to one safety 😭

22 reaches and 2 targets

[dark idol]

27 reaches 1 safety here

[compact wren]

That’s the real strategy right there guys

[dark idol]

if we're assuming

reach is

25% acceptance rate

[compact wren]

One of them has to say yes 🥱

[dark idol]

and below

well

3 of them have

[dark idol]

ok half of these schools are reaches only bc im applying for CS OOS

[compact wren]

Oh

Rip💀

[dark idol]

overall theyre not reaches

but

if u filter by cs acceptance rates

theyre all under 25%

[timber plaza]

omgg twinss

and i did 2 safeties

okay help

[slender marten]

so adding all the acceptance rates to equal 100% doesn't mean that you'll get into at least one place....

[timber plaza]

didnt realize my message was above

ignore please

🥰

[timber plaza]

yes it does

one. of them has to take me

!!

[dusky bough]

i cant imagine doing more than 20 schools bruh

i alr hated having to use a separate portal for mit

[timber plaza]

scoir ass but issok

bc i put the schools idgaf ab on there

[cedar kettle]

Oof I remember that

[timber plaza]

yes traumatized

[cedar kettle]

Tbf it’s easier in cali bc UC’s

[timber plaza]

i felt so bad for my counselor bc she aint know what she was doin

☠️

[cedar kettle]

Orp

[dusky bough]

i didnt apply to any ucs

[cedar kettle]

Oh yeah I just meant like

[dusky bough]

oh ic

[cedar kettle]

Most of the ppl I know who applied to over 20

[slender marten]

since this is gen chat #2, we're streaming the SB: ⁠#793325185884618752

[dusky bough]

[cedar kettle]

Were cali ppl

[dusky bough]

ah

[cedar kettle]

Help 😭

[slender marten]

help with what?

[cedar kettle]

I really thought post Blair Yale would become normal

[cedar kettle]

I just meant it as an expression of surprise

[slender marten]

it's become the general admission dooming channel for some reason

[timber plaza]

we're gonna talk ab yale not watch that

[cedar kettle]

This is so not Yale-core 😔

[timber plaza]

the only thing we watch is harv yale 🤓

[cedar kettle]

Like genuinely a2c Yale chat is so diff from Yale vibes wise it’s wild

[compact wren]

I’m only joining when the halftime show is on

That’s the main event

[timber plaza]

yess kendrick and sza

😍

[placid plank]

hii! any intl who got interview?

[fossil verge]

us cit living abroad; no

[zenith iron]

My Yale interviewer checked back in with me

[dusky bough]

about what

[zenith iron]

Asking if I had any questions and how I was doing with my apps

[agile finch]

LIKELY LIKELY LIKELY

jk

[dusky bough]

thats sweet

[zenith iron]

I wish lol

[dusky bough]

they probably wrote you a good interview report

[zenith iron]

My Darty interviewer sent me a whole paragraph telling me how excellent he thought I was and how he sincerely hoped I would be admitted

I was very grateful

[agile finch]

the yale interviewer gets notified if the AO has an update and often gets updated before you 🤷‍♂️

so it's an opportunity to build rapport -> get you to join

[zenith iron]

True

[agile finch]

but thats me being delulu on your behalf

[dusky bough]

wait do they actually

[zenith iron]

Yeah what if they’re tryna get me to go to their school

[agile finch]

yep

they notify the ASC interviewer if ur a candidate

so they can help "recruit" you etc

[dusky bough]

asc?

[agile finch]

again dont be too delulu

lol

[agile finch]

alumni something something

yale interviewers

[dusky bough]

my interviewer wasnt an alum tho

twas a senior

[agile finch]

yeah but you go to [insert top school in the country]

[dusky bough]

oh

lol

LMFAO

[agile finch]

😭

[dusky bough]

hey at least im not a pretentious boarding school kid

im a poor boarding school kid 😊

[agile finch]

true true

boarding school isnt a bad thing

[dusky bough]

ya but everyone here is rich

lol

i cant imagine paying 70k a year for high school bruh

[agile finch]

yeah that is wild 😭

[dusky bough]

not everyone but a lot of ppl

[agile finch]

yeah a lot of ppl paying that full price

i personally chose a public school over a private but no hate to anybody that flips the other way it's a good opportunity that people should take advantage of

[zenith iron]

My school is NOT a top one in the country

And my interviewer was a senior

[agile finch]

nice

congrats

[zenith iron]

On what 💀

[agile finch]

life.

[zenith iron]

Twas just an interview

[agile finch]

indeed it twas

[zenith iron]

I’m gonna get rejected trust

[agile finch]

yeah you have a 97% chance

we have a 97% chance!

[zenith iron]

I hate college apps

I feel fucked over so hard

Just because of my income and where I live

My state has no good astronomy schools

But I don’t make enough to afford an out of state education

I don’t have the opportunity to be cracked enough for a T20

But they’re the only OOS schools I can afford without extreme hardship

[agile finch]

it's okay rural idaho

i am confident things will work out for you

[zenith iron]

I’m skeptical

[agile finch]

as you should

but its out of your control now

[zenith iron]

True

If almost 100k in student debt is necessary, I’ll have to take it…

[cedar kettle]

I don’t know astronomy as a field we’ll, but assuming most have phds that school is going to matter far more than your undergrad

Like ik it’s still rough

But like

[zenith iron]

That’s true but there’s no adjacent study really available in Idaho

[cedar kettle]

Idt 100k student debt is necessary

[zenith iron]

And you can’t get into a solid grad school without it

[zenith iron]

It is. There are no astronomy research opportunities in Idaho.

[cedar kettle]

Ah I see

Could you do things over the summers at other institutions or would that also not work

[zenith iron]

I mean my family wouldn’t be able to afford travel

[slender marten]

ASC = Alumni Schools Committee

I don't think schools like to waste their own students' time lightly. So I would think it's a good sign

[meager mango]

Yeah they got a likely already lol

[timber plaza]

lmao my last 3 interviewers aint even respond to my thank you emails

🙏 ong

[dark idol]

i mean

you might still get in

the rest is still unwritten

🤷‍♂️

[slender marten]

I wouldnt' worry about it. We're generally not supposed to respond/engage further

[timber plaza]

ok tysm 🙏

[dusky bough]

does anyone know hte difference between these two in the portal

im confused

[zenith iron]

Weird, many of mine have

Dartmouth and Yale both have

[agile finch]

this should never be necessary

[sturdy needle]

na
wrong mindset

[agile finch]

agree with you, absolutely wrong lmao

100k debt is crippling

not worth it

[sturdy needle]

reallll

[sturdy needle]

i heard of a guy who got into Harvard, Stanford and UNC
Bro went to UNC because he got their full ride

[sturdy needle]

imagine having 100k debt on your neck as a 20/21 year old
brooo 😭

[agile finch]

absolutely valid and i would do the same thing

[sturdy needle]

that's so financially disadvantageous

[agile finch]

also UNC is an insanely good school

[sturdy needle]

same tbh 😂
I got Howard's full ride
if I have to pay a dime to go to Harvard, I don't care tbh 😭
I'mma go to Howard

[agile finch]

this is definitely the play you should be making tbh

[sturdy needle]

education is always what you make of it tbh 😂
you can go anywhere and succeed

[agile finch]

saving $300k is basically making $300k

good students do well anywhere

[sturdy needle]

reallll 😂

[sturdy needle]

absolutely agree with this

[agile finch]

girl math 👅

[sturdy needle]

hehe 😂😁😂

[merry dagger]

ohhh hell nah

[muted crest]

i got in with a 3.2 you're gonna be fine

1390 SAT

800 math tho

i come from an upper middle class family

so its really not that hard

[merry pawn]

not that hard to get into yale?

x_x

[vague pecan]

CRAZY! diversity fr fr

[primal needle]

For intl it's really hardc

[vague pecan]

🥹🥺

[primal needle]

Another day another dry mail box

[vague pecan]

You are so relatable

[merry pawn]

Nah I've given up on a yale interview

yale hates my school lol

I'm just in this channel cause why not 🤷‍♀️

Same reason I lurk in the duke channel even though I got rejected

[ruby marten]

real

[meager mango]

Yes

[bold current]

It was rolling

But i believe all of them have been sent

[ruby marten]

they forgot mine tho </3

[bold current]

Same </3

[dusky bough]

it’s phone calls

[devout pasture]

give dat interview

9000/50000 get it... i think my app is good enough for the top 20% but maybe im just wrong and delulu

[merry pawn]

I would say if you don't get it by end of this week then yeah

I have heard that a person got their likely like ~2 weeks before decisions though

But most are out by the end of the second week of Feb

Aka end of this week

[bold current]

Yeah some likelys have came out 2 weeks before ivy day

[devout pasture]

yeah but likelies are usually to recruit kids they want or certain demographics

like athletes/underrepresented peoples/geographies/STEM kids (yale want dat)

[dusky bough]

well the physical letters dont come until like 2 weeks after the call

[devout pasture]

people even liked my essays...

[merry pawn]

Okay I mean the call

Like they got the call about it ~2 weeks before

[dusky bough]

oh

[devout pasture]

WTF

LET ME IN

[merry pawn]

Nope

[devout pasture]

where my interview... so sad

bay area too

[merry pawn]

I didn't get interview either lol

Interviews end beginning of March

[devout pasture]

i highly doubt it was my ecs/awards/grades

[merry pawn]

Nah I'm going to gt

[devout pasture]

my mentor and other people really loved my essays like they called them heartwarming and so personal and emotional

my recomenders sabotaged me

but they made amazing comments about me

[merry pawn]

Screw Yale lol gt is better for my major anyways

[devout pasture]

i mean

REA made sense i got rejected since my essays were SO BAD

[merry pawn]

I don't think my application was all that strong tbh

[devout pasture]

i got UC the other day but i dont think it means anything

since i applied a different major and different essays

[merry pawn]

Don't even get me started on how bad my ED/EA apps were x_x

[devout pasture]

although mst ECs/Activities overlapped idk

I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

I JSUT WANT TO HAVE OPTIONS YK

[chilly hawk]

Even uwm didn't email me today 😔

And they email me almost everyday

[primal needle]

umn-tc spaming me with emails

[agile finch]

oh

[honest crane]

berkeley??

[devout pasture]

yeah but it doesnt mean anything

because different application (although a lot of ecs/activities overlap)

[honest crane]

thats amazing! i got into ut austin OOS and i feel the same lowkey. like it doesn't mean anything

[devout pasture]

if they really wanted me... where dat interview at

[honest crane]

[devout pasture]

[dusky bough]

good news = good sign

bad news = no sign

[velvet field]

harvard AO is mad impressive!

[devout pasture]

Bruh Harvard AO??? Ur in

[agile finch]

pretty decent shot

[devout pasture]

I am so sad… I thought I had good chances too and apparently even Dartmouth does priority sometimes

Ahhhh

It’s okay

[agile finch]

you do have a good chance

[devout pasture]

Like my app is strong imo.. people like to think is too

Idk I maxed out history

It’s like… anyone else with my profile I feel like would get in but I feel like maybe I messed up somewhere

[agile finch]

nah you didnt mess up anywhere

[devout pasture]

Tbh I’m not worried about like Harvard or Yale

It’s the fact that I got none feels like I’m cooked elsewhere

[sonic rune]

Dw about it

Treasure what you have

Don’t worry about what you don’t have

[sonic rune]

I think I got 5 interviews in the span of a week

I felt the same way

[devout pasture]

When…

[sonic rune]

They’ll all come dw

[sonic rune]

Lowkey don’t remember

Before superbowl last yr I had all of them

Cause my last interview was Super Bowl Sunday

[devout pasture]

Deep

Super Bowl was yesterday

[sonic rune]

Trust berk early is incredible

[sonic rune]

Last yr

[devout pasture]

Yeah

[devout pasture]

Cooked but I will listen to ur words

[sonic rune]

Trust

[stable crescent]

has anyone done an interview yet

[agile finch]

yes

[stable crescent]

do u remember any of hte questions or stuff

[agile finch]

it was purely conversational

they asked me tell me about yourself and from there we just chatted

[dusky bough]

mine asked me about a day in my life, my favorite class, biggest challenge

[merry pawn]

me when no interview

[primal needle]

Me when dry mail box

[merry pawn]

I'm straight up telling everyone that I'm going to gt/unc lol

And that gt/unc are my dream schools

BECAUSE MY SCHOOL SUCKS AND IF I DON'T GO TO A T20 PEOPLE WILL LOOK DOWN ON ME

competitive private moment

[stable crescent]

dang

i mean

you'll end up where u need to be

i've become content w my state school which is rankewd liked 160 😭

[devout pasture]

Yeah I’m accepting my state school too

Easier to cope with rd rejection

[stable crescent]

real

except everyones gonna be thinking why im goiing there bc ive been obssessed w colleges since juniro year

[vague pecan]

Worst feeling ever

[timber plaza]

ok who cares what they think tho

seriously

:(

[primal needle]

u look up then

simple

why stress

[primal needle]

😭 bro not worse then getting in coz of a glitch and then getting deffered, u really tanked on that one

[gilded folio]

Also aryav was p like respected last year and no one looked down on him for gt …

[agile finch]

welp that's not the kind of people you really wanna be around anyways

[vague pecan]

Yoooo, why are we getting personal 😭😭😭💔💔

[merry pawn]

yeah that's cause aryav is a genius

who also got into cmu

he's literally the smartest person in your grade

and you're smart too

that's why you two weren't looked down on

I need to prove myself cause I'm not smart like you two 😭

[agile finch]

do you guys know each other lmao

[merry pawn]

Yeah we're friends and she used to go to my school

[velvet field]

Yea same

[velvet field]

https://tenor.com/view/bro-thinks-he-is-on-the-team-gif-734468567113922582

[agile finch]

LMAO

[merry pawn]

No literally she's the only reason I'm sane from gt/UNC lol

[velvet field]

UNC and GT are amazing bro

Dont care about others opinions 😭

[merry pawn]

Literally whenever I feel upset about gt/UNC I think of her and Aryav (other kid who used to go to our school) and I feel better

Fiona thank you for keeping me sane lol

[primal needle]

😭 nah bro if that had happened to me, i would have been broken

[merry pawn]

Also for context her and Aryav are like the two of the smartest people I know

So that's why I feel better about gt/unc whenever I think of them LOL

[primal needle]

indian name i see

[merry pawn]

yep

I'm legitimately shocked he didn't get into mit

same with fiona and the other schools she applied to

the other schools are missing out fr

[primal needle]

😭 Its MIT afterall

no one has a shot at mit

[merry pawn]

he coded an app that was endorsed by the national blind society or whatever it's called

Got funding from my school to do it too

He had like a perfect sat score

He's an actual genius

Like insane

But indian male in cs is hard

[slender marten]

so legit - why do you care what other people think?

[primal needle]

lol me here with indian male environmental

(still hard)

[primal needle]

DEMN

[merry pawn]

because I have no life LOL and living for others is the purpose of my life and after getting compared to others my entire life it is the only way I know to seek validation

[merry pawn]

ouch yeah

[primal needle]

[agile finch]

[gilded folio]

Yea period

[sturdy needle]

I am ready 🥹

[meager mango]

Maybe but idk I’m not getting in anyways

[merry pawn]

All of my interviews have been very meh and both for schools that don't care about interviews that much anyways

[meager mango]

My gtown was okay

MIT was bad

[devout pasture]

Also 7 acceptances wtf

[dark idol]

LMFAO

[devout pasture]

[ruby marten]

[meager mango]

4 were safeties & low targets lol

3 reaches tho

[meager mango]

I applied rea lol

[devout pasture]

Oh

Lmao

[velvet field]

my MIT interviewer asked this, I think he asked this cause he wanted me to help him speak to his girlfriend better

😭

[timber plaza]

okay well the context seems a bit better dawg

[velvet field]

yeah

wait but idk whats wrong with asking what u speak at youre house

was it like from a racist perpscetive

[timber plaza]

idk it seemed random bro

☠️

js outta nowhere

seemed kinda interrogative

well so did the whole interview

didnt seem like a convo

[grave pumice]

omg my interviewer for MIT scared me so much

[velvet field]

why

[grave pumice]

he lowkey clocked me bc i stuttered and didnt want to seem like a tryhard so i said id do math and maybe minor in cs (i want to double major) and he goes "you can't minor in cs"

[velvet field]

ahh sad 😭

[velvet field]

LOL

[grave pumice]

also i said a couple of dumb things and he clocked me and moved on

i was like oh just kill me actually! so mortifying!

[velvet field]

I got lucky so far with my interviewers its probably cause im mad talkative

i never had a moment of silence

i gotta yap less

[grave pumice]

i didnt have silence either but also

idk

bro said "on march 14th i'll be checking the portal as anxiously as you"

[timber plaza]

😭😭 um that’s crazy

[grave pumice]

hello like what does that mean

[dark idol]

isnt that goodo

[grave pumice]

i think

idk

[dark idol]

means he wants u to get i

n

[grave pumice]

oh shi wait dont make me hopeful

[dark idol]

he wouldnt be anxiuosly waiting

if he didnt hope

[grave pumice]

man i hate online interviews its so hard to get a read

[dark idol]

for good news

[grave pumice]

omg wait

omg ogm

[dark idol]

online interviews are mid because theyre hard capped at 40 minutes

bc of the stupid zoom limit

[grave pumice]

ong none of mine were though

i had 3 online and 2 ran way over that

[dark idol]

my irl interview length is 3x as long as my online interview length

[grave pumice]

my harvard was online and took over 2 hours

it was my longest

[dark idol]

goated

harvard bound?

[grave pumice]

i mean

idk

i want to see all my options

but if i get in harvard like 40% chance i go

[dark idol]

what r ur top choices

[grave pumice]

i'm math cs so the usuals

[dark idol]

so like

mit

cmu

stanford

harvard

[grave pumice]

harvard mit

the main quest

[dark idol]

valid

cmu math and cmu cs are both insane tho

but

[grave pumice]

couple other t10 side quests

[dark idol]

ig cmu has its fair share

of problems

once u stop looking at academics lol

[grave pumice]

i didnt apply to cmu lol they have shit aid

[dark idol]

oh true

yeah if u need aid

js gun for harvard mit

princeton ig too

[grave pumice]

yeah idk

i'll see

i got a decent offer alr plus domestics so i'll just have to see

[dark idol]

idt ur rea's financial aid is that great

i havent looked at it too closely tho

[slender marten]

@timber plaza that's great news! You don't have to take the second interview, though it looks like they want you too. But at the least they know not to pay much attention to the first interview

[dark idol]

eh id take it

[grave pumice]
