Brown University (2024-2025)

[mossy comet]

unless one of you makes a server icon or banner for next week you are not making the lineup

bc we do not currently have any brown assets

[full river]

uhm, idg 😂😭

[mossy comet]

do you see how the server icon is georgia tech themed rn

and the banner

[full river]

yeahhhh

[mossy comet]

yes

so we do that for as many schools as we can

[full river]

ohhh, I can see that

[mossy comet]

but i cannot do that if i do not have smth to use

[full river]

alright 👌🏻

[full river]

wait, what do you need

[mossy comet]

i have two schools ready but theyre not as popular so im putting the offer up in case anyone wants

[full river]

do you need someone to design the flyer and banner

[mossy comet]

i would only need one bc id want to give one to another school

would be your choice on which

i also need certain dimensions to fit discord

here are examples https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14NN-f5I16NxYRb96oSz55chjH7vne_rIZY14LI6sP3Q/edit?usp=sharing

[full river]

ohhhhh

[full river]

alright 👌🏻

[proper raft]

where do we submit this

[mossy comet]

#1068814960437764157

and we'll give feedback along the way

first check the pins of there tho

and find the doc

bc that has all the size reqs

[proper raft]

ooouh

thank you!

doesn’t need to be animated correct?

[mossy comet]

it doesnt no

animated is nice if you can but by no means a requirement

[tawny socket]

what were questbridge match stats like this year?

[mossy comet]

Brown didn’t give out their specific numbers

I did btw just curious

and also has anybody not done FAFSA yet for brown, and do you guys knwo if its neccessary(to be done before the end of today)?

[proper raft]

I didn’t, wanted to but decided nah

[proper raft]

Early Decision:
CSS Profile - November 1, 2024.
FAFSA - February 1, 2025

I’d strongly recommend to get it done early though

[lone tiger]

Oh ok thanks 🙏

Yeah I finished CSS

just not FAFSA

I will probably do it after I get in or not

Also, does anybody know if browns letter has confetti or like a video or anything 😭

[oak garden]

feeling more cooked for this school by the day:

[proper raft]

hearing what people have said, they got rid of the video saying welcome to brown, I think it’s a banner ?? unsure…

but def the dear, ___
congratulations!

[proper raft]

hilarious

[violet echo]

Hey guys

[proper raft]

yessir woohoo

[proper raft]

thought i got rejected for a solidass 5 seconds upon opening the result because it was so dead inside

[bright scarab]

If i got into Cornell i would be alive inside

[full river]

didn't you ED Brown 🟤🤧

or you love Cornell more than Brown 😂

[bright scarab]

Nah

But im referencing what happened with @dapper oasis

During ivy day, he opened cornell then brown

(and he got into Cornell so he shouldn't be dead inside while opening brown--)

now imagine getting accepted into your dream school and getting your country liberated from its 50+ year dictator(s) IN THE SAME WEEK

[karmic cobalt]

oh damn you're from syria?

how is it there

[bright scarab]

outside your home is mostly chaos, and very recently, israel bombing

inside your home its safe and celebrating with your fam something that doesnt feel real. goosebumps

[lilac edge]

yeah but those rebel people will probably just become the new dictators.. just hoping that things get better cause my dad was telling me how syria was before the war and showing me pictures and it looked beautiful

[bright scarab]

we can only hope for the best

i just dream of a country where we actually slightly like our government

one thing for sure: bashar had to go.

[bright scarab]

is your dad syrian or arab?

[lilac edge]

no no but he had a syrian roomate when he was doing his medical residency in germany

and they became friends eventually

[bright scarab]

aww

[lilac edge]

btw idk what you guys are gonna do but im gathering the entire family to open the decision

[safe birch]

Holy shit it's a mess here in Syria

I don't know what to think about, the liberation of our country after 13 years of torture or brown results next week lol

[spring owl]

doesnt work anymore

[proper raft]

[safe birch]

Agreed

[proper raft]

still do them even if Friday results come happy

[pseudo crown]

ur not allowed to...

[proper raft]

ah shit I forgot about ed, i meant submitting before friday then —
yes you’re suppose to withdraw

I just woke up

[wintry zinc]

i mean u are allowed to its just if u get in u have to withdraw

its prob better to act do them but ihave no motivation

[frozen moth]

@lilac edge don't put your full address on here😭

[waxen raven]

!brown

[lilac edge]

oh its not my address it was a delivery smartpoint

but yeah

[gray folio]

brown is pretty heavily fit reliant

and to that extent most ivies are

if u don’t get in you would’ve been happier somewhere else IMO

[oak quiver]

Hopefully I "fit" lol... i really wanna get in

[dark kayak]

how are people coping with the stress

[full river]

by writing their RD essays

[dark kayak]

i wish i could do that 😭

[full river]

just imagine you don't get in (hopefully you do 🤞🏻)
you would have tons of essays to writeee 😭😭😭.
you could literally be writing essays while eating Christmas chicken 😭😂.
i am almost done with all my schools for RD 😂.
It makes for good passing of time also 😂

[dark kayak]

i keep doing the rejection simulator and keep telling myself i’m not not getting in
but i’m still? just doing nothing??
even tho i have midterms coming up + rd apps 💀 💀

[full river]

want to talk more in dms 😂.
this feels like a case of laziness 😭

[spring owl]

rejection simulator is wild

[dark kayak]

sure lmao

[dark kayak]

it actually kinda helps
like by the time the real thing comes i think i’ll just be numb

[lilac edge]

i just know that if the first word isnt congratulations then im cooked

[dark kayak]

https://ivyhub.org/rejection-simulators/brown/

if it helps anyone lol

[proper raft]

thank you… this is how we coping huh

[lilac edge]

the rejection letter is very impersonal and cold

now with the use of ai they could make them a bit better

[frozen moth]

i don't think those are indicative of anything and even if they were, you're not allowed to discuss them in this server!

[oak quiver]

Oh okay, I didn't know lol😅

[pastel chasm]

!brown

[proper raft]

2 more days… oh… god

[spring owl]

we got this

[paper parrot]

how are yall feelingg

[lilac edge]

feeling alright, hope the decision is positive, but i really just wanna know so i can plan acoordingly

[paper parrot]

fingers crossed!

what are your plans for decision day

[lilac edge]

im writing two tests, one p3 econ, one p2 eng langlit, then im going home at around 3 pm local time

decisions come out at 10

im prob gonna work on my extended essay or smth to get my mind off this until like 8-9]

and then im gonna go get the metro to my friend's house

and open the decision there

if its positive i will be very happy

if its negative i will be bummed, but i will get a new round of motivation to actually do my rd apps

[paper parrot]

oh damnn gl with your tests

fellow ib student here

yeaa opening with friends sounds great

it comes out at 4 am for me LMAO should i wake up to open itt

[lilac edge]

i wouldnt be able to sleep ngl

i would just pull an all nighter

[full river]

how are you still asleep by 4am 😭😂

[civic umbra]

Just found out that Brown allows 4 teacher recommendation letters, + 1 additional outside one

Is anyone here going to submit 2 additional teacher ones?

[full river]

i don't think they do

but I submitted 2 teacher
and I additional

[civic umbra]

They do, just saw it

[full river]

if you have people who can write new things for you, go for it i guess

[civic umbra]

I'll probably do it similarly, 4 sounds like overkill. They probably won't read it fully anyways

For Stanford though they allow 2 from outside, I'll definitely do that since it's more interesting

[bright scarab]

i care about additional lors as well

from my college list, here are the ones that allow it (more than one optional lor) if you're interested:
CMU-Q (2 optional LORs)
Harvard (2 optional LORs)
Colby (4 optional LORs)
Colgate (2 optional LORs)
Cornell (3 optional LORs)
Dartmouth (2 optional LORs)
Haverford (2 optional LORs)
Lewis and Clark (3 optional LORs)
Princeton (2 optional LORs)
Reed (3 optional LORs)
UPenn (2 optional LORs)

[pseudo crown]

U can submit more than one outside rec to brown

[bright scarab]

nope

you can only submit one optional lor

[pseudo crown]

Nope

[lilac edge]

from what i get tho, the vast majority of students that get admitted just submit the required ones

[pseudo crown]

That’s not true

[bright scarab]

optional meaning not a teacher at school

[pseudo crown]

You can submit it as an extra document

That’s what I did

It’s hidden on the website

[bright scarab]

yea that's an interesting workaround

[civic umbra]

That's not a rec letter

Wdym document

[pseudo crown]

Bro what

It literally says another option can email it to brown

[civic umbra]

Nice, these are both teachers + optional?

[civic umbra]

Check the website bruh. The limit is 1 outside

[bright scarab]

I feel like that's just another way to submit

I'm not sure if your workaround is valid tbf

[pseudo crown]

Dawg

Check ur fms

Dms

😭😭😭

[civic umbra]

Share it here

[pseudo crown]

I can’t

Check ur dms

[bright scarab]

damn

There’s no permissions

[bright scarab]

i really wish i knew that before

mam where were you

[pseudo crown]

Yall were fr telling me I was wrong

It won’t make a huge difference

[civic umbra]

Ok ig ur right

Nice to know this

[bright scarab]

its not a debate but i think my stance was more like yo im not sure

[civic umbra]

Why tf don't they do it on common app tho lmao

Stanford allows 2 optionals there

Weird but good to know

[bright scarab]

i fr wish i knew this
i have 2 strong optional lors

my teacher recs are bs

[brave raptor]

no portal astrology please

this is my pov rn. perish

[wintry zinc]

!brown

this is insane

[mossy comet]

Aka has a final at 9am next Saturday

That’s right

Brown will give you finals on weekends

[dapper oasis]

uhhhh

brown math is really unimpressive

you can go virtually anywhere and get an equal education

and at least for math in particular the whole "undergrad focus!! epic resources!!" doesn't really exist?

like

nobody likes freshmen in pure math xd

instruction quality is middling?

if you go to chicago, harvard, princeton,e tc.

instructor quality is a lot better

i'm in 3 math classes right now

the instructors got their phds in 2022, 2023, and 2024

they're complete noobs

what else

"open curriculum" is fake news sometimes?

chemistry core for example takes 4 full semesters to complete

and if you don't take genchem semester 1 then you can't take orgo 1 semester 2

and they only offer orgo 1 in the spring

so immediately you're fucked because then it takes a full 3 yeras to do your chemistry core before moving on to do the rest of the degree in 1 year

lot of random fucked shit like that where it's like

ok so i guess my degree progression is just doomed?

idk that much about the humanities

some popular classes have a longass waiting list despite the fact that brown is supposed to be the place where you go for infinite undergrad resources

so that's cool

basically the point is

this school will advertise all this quirky shit

at the end of the day

it's just like every other school

nobody gaf

you have to hunt for your own resources and do your own shit

it's slightly freer than other schools but eh

get rid of the illusions before you come

it's really 'just another university'

[random inlet]

it is what u make it tho lowkey

[dapper oasis]

well that's true of every uni tho

it's just

idk

expected more resources and opportunities

expected better instruction

pure math is really just mid

ik it's not what the uni is known for but like

actually disappointing

[random inlet]

ig but ive loved brown's openness so far, plus some professors are excellent compared to others

apma>>>

[dapper oasis]

and i guess i care more about rigor and strength of instruction more than i thought i did

and it's legit just

not there

at least for pure math

i might unironically have to do grad apma courses instead of grad math courses next year

and just go to apma dept and go for apma degree

bc like

this shit is not happening man lol

the course design for math350 is so shit

and it's literally a lie it's not with theory

it's unironically just maximally "whatever" experience

think i could've gone to illinois and gotten the same quality

[mossy comet]

manifesting we make it ✨

[dark kayak]

why is this thread so dead

[full river]

broooo 😂

Brown's thread has to be one of the most dead threads

[dark kayak]

cornell and princeton were blowing up

[dark kayak]

dartmouth too

[full river]

it was on 🔥

hehe 😂

for starters, not much people Eded Brown

[dark kayak]

do we know how many

estimate

[full river]

it's one of the lowest early people

[full river]

my counselor told me that only 5000 people applied to Brown this year

[dark kayak]

wow

[full river]

they received an email apparently

[dark kayak]

that’s pretty low

[full river]

acceptance rate was 18% or ao

[dark kayak]

damn really??

[full river]

yeahhh
very low

[dark kayak]

18 percent

[full river]

yeahhh

[dark kayak]

that’s crazy

[full river]

just ask your counselor

i think they all received emails

[dark kayak]

my counselor is mia

[full river]

uhn?

[dark kayak]

she never gives updates

[full river]

hehe 😂😂😂

i am close to mine I guess and I am the only person applying to US colleges from my high school

so they are obviously hoping I get in and all 😂

[dark kayak]

that makes sense

most ppl are applying at my school

[full river]

ohhh, no womder

[dark kayak]

so she doesn’t care

[full river]

hehe 😂😂😂

we will all be fine 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

hoping we all get in

[dark kayak]

well at least the acceptance rate is higher this year

[full river]

and meet in Providence 🤭

[dark kayak]

so maybe there’s a shot lmao

[full river]

actually 😭

[full river]

hoping so

[dark kayak]

it was like 14 percent last year

i think

[full river]

yeahhh
14.5%

a reduction in applications seemed almost likely because of the SAT required

[dark kayak]

oh yeah

good point

[waxen raven]

what

why

[full river]

a lot of people, maybe this is just Internationals though, love applying TO once they don't score above 1500

ik some people that would only submit a 1550+ to T20s

[waxen raven]

mm ion know many applied with a 1450 too

and they got mid year mails and stuff

[full river]

obvio because Brown is test required

[waxen raven]

yeah test required would drop the sat avg for sure

[full river]

everyone gets mid year emails now 😭

[waxen raven]

lets see by how much

[waxen raven]

😭 i didnt

[full river]

yeahh
but it will def drop it

[waxen raven]

it jus said (as soon as possible) in my portal

no mail

sed

[full river]

ohhhh
you did submit eventually right?

[waxen raven]

yeah for sure!

[waxen raven]

yes

wierd my school does it out of 150

[full river]

then you are fine 😂

[full river]

are you international

[waxen raven]

ye

[full river]

which region

[waxen raven]

asia

[full river]

ohhh, that's doep

[waxen raven]

south

[full river]

dope*

[waxen raven]

wbu?

[full river]

Africa
West

[waxen raven]

ay!! good to see some diversity

[full river]

realll 😎

[waxen raven]

i so wanted to write in the why us essay

why brown?
because i am brown

but i didnt : /

[full river]

that Why Us essay is annoyingly short 😂

i wrote mine about 30 minutes to submitting my app 😭😂

[waxen raven]

yeah i just wrote some colour mixing and shi... tho could have been quirky

man 6 more hours

[full river]

that's niceee

[waxen raven]

good luck : )

[full river]

that feels so far yet so close 😂

[waxen raven]

any idea on the defferal rate?

[full river]

same to you

[full river]

not so sure but 18% I guess

[lilac edge]

so 18% accept, 18 defer and the rest deny?

[full river]

yeahhh

Brown doesn't really defer people that much

[waxen raven]

oh demn

[lilac edge]

i mean thats better than 5%

[full river]

they prefer straight up rejection 😭😂

[waxen raven]

so real

[lilac edge]

id rather know now tbh so i can decide how im gonna move foward

[full river]

exactly 😭

[waxen raven]

nah i wana be deffered, cuz brown is the first form i filled...so i did mistakes

[full river]

i hate two things
deferral
wait-list 😂

[waxen raven]

and i can cook well in the loci

[lilac edge]

one guy at our school

[waxen raven]

granted i get deffered

[lilac edge]

got into columbia

off the waitlist

so its not that bad ig

one kid also got accepted to cornell ed yesterday from my school which was an unexpected acceptance

so maybe we are lucky this year

who knows

[waxen raven]

yeah lets hope for the best

[full river]

that's niceee
pov: when you are the only person applying to US colleges 😭

[full river]

yeahhh
hoping for the best 🤞🏻

[lilac edge]

its always kinda weird from my school bc most of us are only greek citizens but some are dual citizens (including myself)

and they say like

oh ur gonna get in bc ur american

[waxen raven]

yes u will

that is a real thing

!!

[lilac edge]

is it rlly true tho cause the americans also get rejected domestically

[full river]

that's a very great plus!!!

[full river]

your chances are def higher although not a guaranteed admission

[lilac edge]

yeah

i like the fact that i get money from the government

[full river]

so you qualify for FAFSA

[full river]

that's great

[waxen raven]

diversity gold mine

[lilac edge]

cause my efc is low and i would be really sad if i was accepted and dont get the aid package i need

[waxen raven]

u can qualify for publics

[lilac edge]

not much diversity tho cause im a white european male 💀

[full river]

some of us are looking for full rides 😭

[lilac edge]

i put 7k as an efc, and if they give it to me im thinking of taking out 3.5k as a subsidized loans (if i get in)

[waxen raven]

we r cooked

[waxen raven]

my efc is 25k without loans

[full river]

we are cooking 🍳🤭😎

[oak garden]

im below avg in stats for people accepted in my school

[waxen raven]

idk man, i got into some ausy uni as backup

brown vibe should match

[lilac edge]

dont let that hold u back

[full river]

that's still much though 😔

[waxen raven]

jus chill

[lilac edge]

we had a kid with a 45/45 who got rejected from nyu

and a 39/45 that got into cornell

(ib)

[full river]

that's not a factor

[lilac edge]

i will dare say that luck is a factor

there are kids that do everything correctly and genuienly and dont get in their first choice and tbh it doesnt matter because if you are using your schools resources you are probably gonna succeed anywhere

like my country's universities are t-400 in the world but we have many graduates that have done great things

even the ceo of pfizer graduated from my city

[full river]

this is so reallll!

[waxen raven]

i am strong EC wise

but cooked sat

[full river]

it's not about where you go. It's about what you do where you go 💯

[lilac edge]

im happy that my ECs are things that im genuienly passionate about

i didnt do smth just for the sake of resume

[waxen raven]

what courses did u guys apply

[full river]

same 😂

[waxen raven]

same man

[lilac edge]

i was initially thinking of doing double concentration polisci econ

[full river]

Biochemistry and Philosophy

[lilac edge]

but

im thinking of doing econ

[waxen raven]

wow

[lilac edge]

and then doing a 5th year masters

[full river]

that's goooddd

[lilac edge]

bc they say if u double concentrate you dont enjoy the open curiculum as much

[waxen raven]

i applied for chemical/environmental engineering

[lilac edge]

also my upstairs neighbor goes to brown

so i asked him

he said hes having a blast

[full river]

that's legitttt goood

[waxen raven]

tho my profile says entrepreneurship... will brown consider me for it even tho i didnt apply for it

[waxen raven]

WOW!!!

[full river]

wowwww
that's so nice 🥹

[lilac edge]

you will be an enterpreneur that knows what they are doing

its so cool to have both a business and scientific mind

you wont rely as much on others

[waxen raven]

real i have physics,chem,math and entrepreneurship as subjects

[full river]

not really, they more of admit based on fit, not really major

[waxen raven]

oh

[lilac edge]

i took chem sl in the ib just bc i wanted to do smth different

even tho im a humanities guy

[waxen raven]

i love science and humanities combo

[lilac edge]

we are doing organic chemistry rn and i have a lovehate relationship with it

[waxen raven]

like the BEST!!

[lilac edge]

but its gonna be ok

1,2 trimethylpropan-1-ol

save me

[waxen raven]

its always that, i hated organic

then i fell in love

[waxen raven]

wait for inorganic compounds naming

u wil cry

[lilac edge]

i wrote a p1 and p2 on those already

borderline 80%

but 80% is a 7

so we good ig

[waxen raven]

oh u r ib

[lilac edge]

yes

[waxen raven]

being ur countries official board isnt bad?

[lilac edge]

hold up imma go eat lunch and come back

lamb and spinach today

[waxen raven]

like i am not IB

[lilac edge]

greek diploma is mid

ill tell u why in a bit

[waxen raven]

💪 good luck for brown

[dark kayak]

!brown

[full river]

[dark kayak]

5 hours to go

[full river]

[full river]

[dark kayak]

sry yeah lol

[waxen raven]

and wake up to the notification

[full river]

i wasn't angry 😂.

[full river]

you will be hunted in your dreams 😉

[dark kayak]

yeah no worries

[waxen raven]

😎 i cant sleep man

i have a math test tomorrow

[full river]

exactly 🤣

[waxen raven]

either way it is gona get bombed

[full river]

bruvvvvv 😭

[swift steeple]

it comes out right after my school ends

im literally like counting down the periods

[waxen raven]

😭

[lilac edge]

so basically if i went to the national curiculum it would mean this:

limited course choice

choose between humanities, sciences, health sciences, or technology & economics field

if i chose humanities

i would have to do mandatory ancient greek, latin, modern greek, history

i hate ancient greek

with a passion

[waxen raven]

oh luckily my local curriculum also allows mixing of fields so i hve a wierd combo of subjects

[waxen raven]

r u built like a greek god

[lilac edge]

unfortunately no

i was born very short

like very short

im 17 and im 5'3

i will miss three things when i leave here to go to the usa

1. the food

2. my family & friends

3. the ability to walk outside in poorly lit streets at 3 am with headphones and not be afraid

and the streets look like the hood

but its not a hood

[waxen raven]

2 more hours

🤗

[proper raft]

stop it.

UGGGH

[dark kayak]

i feel you

[brave raptor]

[frigid tangle]

Aah

[wintry zinc]

i had a pretty terrible day alr too had a comp and like did rlly bad

[proper raft]

hey man, you have anything to do rn then?

[wintry zinc]

ye im in english LOL

[proper raft]

go do your work LMFAO

distract yourself

[wintry zinc]

LOLLL I CANT

[proper raft]

it’s damn nerve wrecking that’s the truth

[lilac edge]

i went out for a stroll downtown, near the water, and now waiting for the clock to hit 10 pm, and that "a status update has been posted on your application portal" email to appear

[proper raft]

where’s that guy with the rejection simulator

[wintry zinc]

https://ivyhub.org/rejection-simulators/

lol ive been using this

[proper raft]

[wintry zinc]

[proper raft]

that’s funny I shall read too

[wintry zinc]

im rlly interested to see with the need blind this year

[torn hollow]

oh yeah me too

[wintry zinc]

@lilac edge im act rlly interested if u get in cause u got idoc 💀

[lilac edge]

they did need blind but they aldo did sat requirement

[torn hollow]

somoeone said its 18% acceptancce here

[wintry zinc]

pls inform me 🙏

[lilac edge]

i will let you know!

[wintry zinc]

i think its gonna be low

[wintry zinc]

yes i think sat benefitted me but idk

[torn hollow]

yeah i expected that too

only makes sense

[lilac edge]

the sat swayed off all other potential brown ed applicants at my school

bc i was the only one interested with 1500+

[wintry zinc]

rlly/?!?

i feel like a lot of ppl still submitted

bcs im sure brown takes school with context

ive seen a lot of 1400s being submitted

[lilac edge]

the avg for sat in my country is 1460

[wintry zinc]

i think browns median SAT score is going down

[wintry zinc]

same lol

i think it might be a bit higher

my school avg sat might be like 1480

[lilac edge]

the math they do in usa is a cakewalk

[wintry zinc]

or 1490

[wintry zinc]

LOL IT IS

[full river]

the acceptance rate is 18%

[lilac edge]

like here we do calc in 10th grade

[wintry zinc]

but i never scored an 800 😭

[lilac edge]

i got a 780 on the actual exam

[wintry zinc]

where did u hear that?

[wintry zinc]

i got 790 both times

i swear its just one hard question

i messed up

[full river]

they sent an email to my counselor

[wintry zinc]

WHAT

[torn hollow]

not even hard they all just have detail

[wintry zinc]

omg

they sent an email/!!?

THATS RECORD HIGH

[wintry zinc]

ye ik

but i remember on may sat

[lilac edge]

im calling my school councelor once i get the letter idk even if its late at night

[full river]

application reduced by 1200 applicants

[wintry zinc]

there was a couple questions that got me down to last thread

[wintry zinc]

WHAT

bro can u share the whole emial her

or the important info

[torn hollow]

oh i gave may too

[wintry zinc]

18% is actually insane

[full river]

i told you already 😂

[wintry zinc]

i felt like may english was rlly easy

[lilac edge]

its still low

[dark kayak]

5000 ppl applied

[torn hollow]

i got the same score on both it was kind of underwhelming

[full river]

18% acceptance
18% deferral
the rest rejected

[proper raft]

bro I submitted a lower than 1400 sat since it was mandatory

might’ve fucked me over

[wintry zinc]

idk i just practiced A LOT on the english

[torn hollow]

man my counselor doesnt tell me shit

[lilac edge]

do you have a good gpa

[wintry zinc]

like i did all the questions in question bank

[wintry zinc]

how many ppl applied last year

[wintry zinc]

omg

[dark kayak]

neither does mine lol

[wintry zinc]

18% deferall

[full river]

6244

[wintry zinc]

please at least give me a deferal 😭

[proper raft]

eh not as good but bc I’m from a broke shit title 1 school

[wintry zinc]

idek my gpoa

[torn hollow]

goddamn yeah no i just walked in after doing 3 blubook tests the day before

[wintry zinc]

i think its a 4.0

[proper raft]

dude the stats are out?

link..

[wintry zinc]

cause an 80% is apparently a 4.0 for me 💀

[wintry zinc]

they sent eail to guidance

[lilac edge]

nice

[proper raft]

grrr alr ill gchat mine

[full river]

they sent an email to my guiding counselor

[wintry zinc]

💀 i did that for my first SAT and got completely screwed

[lilac edge]

i did get tutoring for english but it was very cheap

[wintry zinc]

my guidance is act annoyed with alll the ppl applying to us

💀

[full river]

oh chim 🥲

[wintry zinc]

ngl english was act hard 😭

[torn hollow]

like idk if they got mails for my first term progress or idoc or anything

so im just expecting a reject

or a surprise

[lilac edge]

my councelor is my buddy

[wintry zinc]

same lmao

[dark kayak]

i think the idoc would go straight to you

[wintry zinc]

but i think they may have cause my progress changed to waived like

a couple weeks later

so idk

[lilac edge]

because shes overworked

[wintry zinc]

idoc does go straight to u

[dark kayak]

but yeah same mine says waived

[lilac edge]

when she has a smoke break, i go with her and we brainstorm ideas for essays

[proper raft]

yeah no my counselor is goated, even let me revise her lor to me but it didn’t need any

[wintry zinc]

aww thats so sweet

[torn hollow]

mine never changed to waived

[proper raft]

aww

[lilac edge]

oh yeah my councelor asked me if her lor is ok

[proper raft]

guys we got it

[dark kayak]

wtf does waived even mean i never asked my counselor

[lilac edge]

waived means they dont want/need it

which can be interpreted in many ways

so id suggest you wait 50 minutes

[torn hollow]

i basically wrote all of mine

[proper raft]

mhm

[torn hollow]

gave them a brag sheet they used it like an outline (2 chatgpted)

[wintry zinc]

is it still awaiting rn?

[proper raft]

I told them I only wanna read it if I got accepted lol

[dark kayak]

well for some ppl it never even changed to waived

so idk

[wintry zinc]

prob ause ur school doesnt use midterm report

[lilac edge]

thankfully my councelor didnt need a brag sheet cause she knew me well

[wintry zinc]

mine doesnt too

[proper raft]

mine still says awaiting

[dark kayak]

yeah we don’t have quarter grades

[torn hollow]

it was till the end but it stopped showing yeah

[proper raft]

semester hasn’t ended

[lilac edge]

we had grades but they came out late

so they waived them

but we sent them anyway

[wintry zinc]

lol our grades come on time but i think guidance is too lazy to send them

[lilac edge]

and they are unofficial grades

[wintry zinc]

so they said they dont do mid terms

[lilac edge]

my councelor did send my predicted

[wintry zinc]

oh ur ib right

?

im also ib

[lilac edge]

yes

[wintry zinc]

what r ur subjects

[lilac edge]

glopo hl econ hl englanglit hl

chem sl modern greek lit sl math appl sl

[wintry zinc]

same for econ

and chem

im hl physics, math econ

sl eng, chem, french

did my french alr tho last may

[lilac edge]

oh nice

i think i got a 43/45 predicted

[wintry zinc]

im act failing physics 😭

[wintry zinc]

i think im 42/45

[lilac edge]

physics is hard

especially if ur teacher isnt good

[wintry zinc]

ye its terrible

i regret it sm

my physics dropped from a 6 to a 5

[lilac edge]

the physics teacher is my school is smart but hes not good at organisation

[wintry zinc]

but my eng went up from a 5 to a 6

so it kinda cancelled out

[wintry zinc]

lol my physics teacher is pretty organized but just a hard marker

[lilac edge]

we have clear grade boundaries

there isnt much room for interpretation on a science paper is there?

[wintry zinc]

bruh all the physics teachers gatekeep their boundaries

idek what the bounds are

[lilac edge]

the boundaries are posted publically on our elearning

[wintry zinc]

i think its an 80 is a 7

[wintry zinc]

thats act lucky

[lilac edge]

hl 7 is 73

in physics

[wintry zinc]

ohhh ye i think our teachers do a bithigher

[lilac edge]

our school adjusts based on official ib boundaries

[wintry zinc]

ye i think our other subjects r aroudn the same as urs

oh wait

our hl math is way higher

lmao

our hl math is an 89 💀

which is kinda crazy

[lilac edge]

here no one gets such high

so the grade boundaries are lower

[proper raft]

dude 18% acceptance for ed

[wintry zinc]

but our tests r def not as hard as actual ib exams i think

[lilac edge]

our school also is very fixated on academic integrity

[wintry zinc]

iukkkk 💀

[lilac edge]

like they dont allow any room

other ib schools they prerecord their ios at home

here they follow everything by the book

[proper raft]

900 admitted out of 5000 is crazy

[wintry zinc]

lmao what ours is not that strict
