THIS IS SO FUNNY

tropic vector
#

I submitted one of my finals yesterday and my prof asked if I could work on it after the class is over to get published in Cornell's Game Collection smile

tame sandal
#

omg

#

absolute win

tropic vector
#

Pokémon Red for the win

tame sandal
#

yeah i need like above a 60% for an A

#

i love the leniency of grading

#

in winter + summer

tropic vector
#

Huh??

#

That's so funny

tame sandal
#

60% on the final*

tropic vector
#

My class has been super laid back, just the work has all been crammed

#

Both finals are due tomorrow, I finished the first one yesterday I just need to finish this one today

tame sandal

tame sandal
#

my final is 42 questions open for 3 hrs and its open note

bronze egret
#

I can’t spend 5k 😭

tropic vector
#

It's an equal point system the assignments aren't weighted so if I lose like 3 points already down to an A 😐

tame sandal
#

oh

tropic vector
#

I lost one for my first project so I'm praying my last two are perfect

tame sandal
#

i took 3 courses over summer and 1 last winter and ive gotten 3 A+ and 1 A-

#

farming the A+ off of these courses 😭

tropic vector
#

I assume the game nomination one should be full points cause he asked for it to be published so 😭

#

An A+ is ideal, I wouldn't mind an A tho

tame sandal
#

ik grad schools recalculate with A+ as 4.0 but the raise in my gpa is so validating

#

😭

tropic vector
#

REAL

#

I was a VICTIM last semester

tame sandal
#

r u gonna apply to flexmed?

#

like the EAP mt sinai

tropic vector
#

No idea

#

I've heard the name I'm not really sure what it is

tame sandal
#

i wrote 24 essays in 15 hrs for that shit

#

😭

tropic vector
#

Oh hell no 😭

tame sandal
#

they waive MCAT

#

and some requirements

tropic vector
#

I had to write 5 fat essays and like 11 mini ones for my scholarship I can't go through that again 😭

tame sandal
#

like u only need one sem orgo

tropic vector
#

Took me all summer and some change 😭

tame sandal
#

the 24 essays was like

#

20 ECs and each had a 150 word desc

#

😭

tropic vector
tame sandal
#

then ofc a personal statement and such

tame sandal
#

i doubt im getting in bc of my gpa but

#

they do like ivy name

tropic vector
#

Yeah except I'm trying to go bio 😭

tame sandal
tropic vector
#

I'm looking into CAS cause I actually hit the requirements for that one

tame sandal
#

like the largest category is bio major but its jjust cuz of the proportion of students applying

tropic vector
#

CALS is a meanie. I'll decide once I talk to admissions from both

tame sandal
#

CAS refused to talk to me

#

cuz i wasnt a student in CAS yet

#

it was just an internal transfer info session

#

i deadass made bubble nugget ask for an apptment with his advisor to awsk questions for me

#

😭

tropic vector
#

I pissed off one of the admission ladies from CALS cause I just walked in and asked if I could talk to someone cause I was having an issue with rotc and it was urgent

#

I got lectured for not making an appointment

tame sandal
#

i told my cracked friends abt flexmed

#

and they didnt apply

#

idk why 😭

tame sandal
#

@bronze egret none of my old classes have been removed from canvas yet 😭

When are final transcripts due after being offered admission and enrolling? I’m taking a summer course to satisfy the chemistry requirement and am wondering what end time I should pick to allow enough time to send my transcript

tame sandal
#

U should be sending ur final transcript which is after ur spring semester/graduation

#

U cant just wait until first sem starts to send ur final transcript

hearty summit
#

cant u js send the transcript after u graduare

#

and then send it again with the chem class

#

or email them after u get in

tropic bay
#

My bad, I think I asked the wrong question. Is it possible to transfer a credit obtained from a summer class that ends after graduation? The course ends on the 3rd of July

tropic bay
bronze egret

#

I mean I still took the course, just a bit later, so idk why they wouldn’t accept it 🤷‍♂️

#

But then again like you said

bronze egret

#

Or college credit

#

You’d have to check with college you’re admitted to see which courses you can get credit for

#

Cap is 15-18 credits

tropic bay
#

Ah that makes sense

tame sandal
#

as transfer

#

does Cornell don’t really ask for documents through idoc? I don’t see any requests from them there…it it weird or am I good

fossil merlin
#

Dude okay they sent me an email saying that they wanted something through IDOC, except it already exists in IDOC (like 2+ times bc we accidentally submitted more than once)

#

I emailed them to tell them that its literally right there and they still haven’t gotten back to me 😭

tropic bay

#

daamn

tropic bay
#

It might just take some time for them to realize you have your documents on idoc (or maybe something else, idk)

fossil merlin
#

yeah cornell doesnt even show up in idoc for me as a school that wants documents 💀

#

they just emailed me

tropic bay
fossil merlin
#

oh 💀

#

Maybe they’re having issues on their end and that’s why they sent you an email directly? idk

yeah not sure but they havent emailed since so shrug

Did they give you a deadline?

Im from VA where we never get any snow to stick in my area and this is a winter wonderland compared to home lmfao

#

This year was a huge exception with the winter storm tho

#

Most snow we've had for years

#

Brooo I got an A in my winter course 😭😭

#

Why was there no weighting on the assignments I got an A+ on every assignment but the points lost added to be an A 💀

#

@tame sandal how'd your course go

bronze egret
#

there was a little snow

tropic vector
#

What part of VA

#

Areas like Norfolk got like nothing

My area got just under a foot

Getting back sucked tho

Question for any Cornell engineering people or applicants

#

Do they not want a loci??

#

It says “no need” but does that mean they don’t want it or it’s optional?

spice island
#

they just keeping u at the edge

tame sandal

#

"If you’re an applicant to The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, The College of Arts & Sciences, The Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy, or The College of Human Ecology you may submit a letter of continued interest via the "Optional Supplemental Materials" section of your Applicant Portal. Applicants to other colleges and schools should not submit a letter of continued interest.

If you’re an applicant to The Cornell SC Johnson College of Business you can share important updates (including class changes, new leadership positions, confirmed summer plans, etc.) via the "Optional Supplemental Materials" section of your Applicant Portal."

#

so if im business what am i supposed to submit

#

just a letter about new stuff im doing

#

and not a loci?

steep siren
#

yea according to that

summer peak
#

@tame sandal do you have time to help me again...

#

#

is this right

urban saffron
#

So does Cornell interview or no? I’ve heard mixed things

flint bronze
#

wedges and dashes on an sp2 carbon 💔

#

also isnt E2 impossible because the tosylated O has to be anti periplanar to the hydrogen atom

#

the methyl group kinda prevents the H and OTs from both being axial

unique bear
#

like I know for COE they don't

tropic vector
#

They used to offer alumni interviews just to learn more, but last year and this year the application did not have that option

#

I think there's only one or two programs that have interviews

#

Like Architecture

spice island
#

cuz the bond comes in the plane

#

OTs is a very good leaving grp + strong base in the reaction too so yeah E2 reaction occurs

#

65k vs 90k

#

honestly u can get it down to 50k

unique bear
hearty summit
#

with RA/work-study and cheap appts

#

oh shit

#

yeah

unique bear
#

I’m very strongly considering UIUC if I don’t get GT RD

hoary herald
#

would u guys pick cornell full ride

hearty summit
#

tbh im very tempted to put uiuc 29 in my bio LOL

hoary herald
#

over ut austin

hearty summit
#

maybe

#

if i got turing no

hoary herald
#

tho i get free tuition from UT

#

hm yea fair

hearty summit
#

if i applied for aid at cornell my app would be thrown in the trash

#

cuz im intl visa

#

so need aware

#

💀

hoary herald
#

oh yeah they not need blind for int

#

😭

hearty summit
#

so yeah

#

my dad would pay 90k for stanford

#

maybe cmu

hoary herald
#

cmu is crazy

#

that shi just as depressing

hearty summit
#

yeah same lol

#

idk even my dad just doesnt like cmu either

#

when i was working on my app

#

he just said "go there for master's"

#

ngl idk why i applied cmu i dont thhink im going to go anyway

#

even when my only acceptance so far was A&M

hoary herald
#

lowkey my top is like hypsm, then penn, brown, columbia, Rice, Duke, cornell, UT

hoary herald
#

lol

hearty summit
#

my top is mit/stanford/princeton/harvard/berk/cmu/ut/uiuc

hoary herald
#

why princeton over harvard

hearty summit
#

i like their math

#

idk princeotn just has aura

hoary herald
#

id assume harvard math just as strong

unique bear
#

My ranking goes

hearty summit
#

better vibes

hoary herald
#

math 55 ahh

hearty summit
#

true lol

#

i just like princeton's vibes better than harvard

hoary herald
#

depressing tho

#

esp with their grade deflation

hearty summit
#

really?

hoary herald
#

yes..

#

bro

hearty summit
#

oh yeah grade deflation

unique bear
#

Princeton penn harvard cornell/columbia/gt northwestern duke

hoary herald
#

its one of the biggest cons of princeton

hearty summit
#

tbh every princeton student ive talked to loves i

hoary herald
hearty summit
#

unlike cornell

hoary herald
unique bear
hoary herald
#

princeton community/grade deflation

#

on reddit

#

you get sm answers

#

😭

hearty summit
#

oh ive heard about grade deflaiton

#

i thought they stopped that tho

unique bear
#

That’s at hella ivies though

#

Penn too for example

hoary herald
hoary herald
#

yale harvard brown doesnt rlly have that

unique bear
#

Uhh

hoary herald
#

and columbia kinda inflated with their core

hearty summit
unique bear
#

You did Fu foundation

hearty summit
#

empirically shown or something

unique bear
#

Right

hoary herald
#

i feel like if anything they'd make inflation chang

unique bear
#

They do way less corr

hoary herald
#

not deflation

unique bear
#

Core*

hoary herald
hearty summit
hoary herald
#

seas wipes out like half the core

hoary herald
#

rather than deflation -> fair

hearty summit
#

but why lol

hoary herald
#

idk

#

💀

#

well

hearty summit
#

grade inflation happens both because students tend to become more competient and because colleges want good outcomes for alums

hoary herald
#

ive talked to a brown student

#

he said brown tryna limit inflation that its known for

hearty summit
#

i didnt apply columbia cuz i didnt like the vibes lmao

#

ok yeah if its like brown

#

where inflation is kind of its brand

hoary herald
#

what abt the vibes at columbia is off?

hearty summit
#

then its different

hearty summit
#

very few nerds

#

i think the schools i fw most have lots of nerds

hoary herald
#

columbia prob on the higher rich kid side

hearty summit
#

like i really fucked with caltech ngl

#

but like

#

they dont have the major that i want

hoary herald
#

i didnt apply caltech cuz like

#

300 people

hearty summit
#

(linguistics/urban science)

#

and yeah

#

as u said

hoary herald
#

not tryna go to hs 2.0 bro 😭

hearty summit
#

300 ppl

#

exactly lol

#

its so small

hoary herald
#

yeah

hearty summit
#

i did have a few zoom calls with a caltech prof but yeah

#

idk i just never "saw myself" at caltech

#

im getting the urge to commit to uiuc even tho i know i have better colleges coming

hoary herald
#

i remember when we had a zoom call with a caltech ao at ssp

hearty summit
#

ssp

hoary herald
#

they def fit the nerd vibes

hearty summit
#

W

#

well yeah

#

caltech very clearly says if ur not a stem nerd dont come

hoary herald
#

lmfao yeah

#

u deadass need like

#

all 3 sciences taken

#

to even apply

hearty summit
#

wdym

hoary herald
#

chem bio physics on ur transcript

hearty summit
#

oh yeah

#

i think thats an MIT requirement too

#

wait isnt that just a graduation requirement

hoary herald
#

o idk if mit was strict with that

#

no

#

we only need bio and some other science here

hearty summit
#

like u js need 9th grade bio

#

10th grade chem

#

and 2 other sicences

#

no 1 other science

#

but nearly evb takes physics

hoary herald
#

it doesnt have to be chem bio phys

hearty summit
#

at least on yr

hoary herald
#

it can be some dumb shit like

#

env sci

hearty summit
#

lol

#

i took all ap chem bio phyC last yr

#

it wasnt that bad

hoary herald
#

oh dang

hearty summit
#

bio was light as balls

hoary herald
#

i did bio phys c last year

hearty summit
#

chem was pretty understandable

#

phyC wrecked me at first

hoary herald
#

im doing chem now tho

hearty summit
#

but i got used to it

#

yeh

hoary herald
#

bro phys C mech was so light

hearty summit
#

ap chem is really just a continuation of honors chem

hoary herald
#

i think ap phys 1 me couldve 5'd that shit

hearty summit
#

literally same vibes

hoary herald
#

e&m kinda hard tho

hearty summit
#

yeah

hoary herald
#

u need mvc to conceptually understand

hearty summit
#

my teacher started with e&m

#

bc most ppl came in with phy1

hoary herald
#

thats lowkey smart

#

ngl

hearty summit
#

(very few came with phy2)

hoary herald
#

mech is barely anything new

hearty summit
#

yeah but i came in with NOTHING lol

hoary herald
#

💀

#

what did u get on exam

hearty summit
#

just calc BC and engineering sci

#

55

hoary herald
#

nice

hoary herald
#

with phys c

hearty summit
#

rly

hoary herald
#

i was taking ap pre calc at the tim eyeah

hearty summit
#

i feel like u kinda need at least AB knowledge

#

i think calc 3 makes E&M way easier

hoary herald
#

yeah just ab

#

yeah it does

#

mvc lowkey needed to understand

hearty summit
#

and diffeq too but to a lesser extent

hoary herald
#

its just a lot of stuff on e&m simplifies out

hearty summit
#

diffeq just for some oscillation stuff and LC circuits

hoary herald
#

and even then its pretty rare

#

there was like one LC circuit

#

mcq

hearty summit
#

but calc 3 is how u understand gauss, ampere, etc

#

yeah

#

even with mech calc3 is useful

#

like non-conservative forces

hoary herald
#

yeah

hearty summit
#

(i.e. vector fields with non-zero curl)

#

ru in calc 3 now

hoary herald
#

nah BC lol

#

but ik mvc

#

from ssp

hearty summit
#

bros studying ahead

#

oh shit

hoary herald
#

we crammed

hearty summit
#

bro how much does ssp teach u lol

hoary herald
#

mvc linear alg and diff eq

#

in 6 weeks

hearty summit
#

jesus

#

how do u have time for anyt else

hoary herald
#

then like higher level phys

#

like lagrangian mech

hoary herald
hearty summit
#

like i thought u do experiments and shi

hoary herald
#

yes lol

hearty summit
#

and research

hoary herald
#

6 hour lectures, then 5 hour for problem sets

hearty summit
#

but like

hoary herald
#

and halfway through the program we have to incorporate research experiments

#

so it was def 12+ hours of work a day

hearty summit
#

if ur doing calc3/diffeq/linalg then langrangian mech in 6 weeks ur spending like 10 hrs a day on lectures and psets 💀

#

no time for any research

hoary herald
#

yep thats what we did

hearty summit
#

insane

hoary herald
#

just going to an observatory once a week

hearty summit
#

do u mind DMing me a syllabus im actually curious

hoary herald
#

and taking pics for 1-2 hours

hearty summit
#

lol

hoary herald
hearty summit
#

so SSP is just a fucking intensive math class

hoary herald
#

ok i lied

hearty summit
#

lol

hoary herald
#

like after the photos

#

we actually had to work with them which is outside of pset content ig

#

so yeah lecture + pset + research

hoary herald
hearty summit
hearty summit
#

the other options seem to be targetted to med/bio kids

Whats better cornell or umich for engineering

bronze egret
#

But what type

ruby falcon
#

engineering

fossil merlin
#

What type of engineering 😭

slow trench
#

LMFAOO WE AINT GETTING INTO CORNELL WITH THIS ONE

quasi bough
#

we're so chopped

bronze egret
#

There r dozens

distant harbor
#

Is cornell better than USC for astroaero

bronze egret
#

That’s grad level

distant harbor
#

I know, I saw

bronze egret
#

Astronomy department here is rly good tho

#

Taking a class there rn

distant harbor
#

If i want to go into aeroastro, would cornell meche or usc astro be better

bronze egret
#

Depends on what u get into tbh

#

Idk much abt usc engineering

#

Ask @keen delta

#

Cornell meche is v v good just rly competitive

#

You can also get a minor in aerspace engineering

ruby falcon
#

i meant to say mechanical

#

mb

#

that was right before i started napping in calculus

ruby falcon
bronze egret
#

Nice

#

Not the worst type

#

Only second worst men

ruby falcon
#

so is cornell better for meche than mich?

ruby falcon
#

civil EE chem for sure

bronze egret
#

Yeah civil is the worst

#

At least in the men they have

#

Cornell and mich r both top 10 for meche idk specifics

#

Everyone ik here got into both or like cmu and picked cornell bc ivy name

#

Rly depends on vibe u want once u get amazing program either way

spice island
#

its ranked higher than harvard in aero

ruby falcon
#

because cmu is a more recognized engineering/cs college

quasi bough
#

cornell got the connections

ruby falcon
#

oh deaduz

quasi bough
#

its not only stemlords going to cornell

ruby falcon
#

true

quasi bough
#

so ull meet people from a lot of walks of life

ruby falcon
#

ig it’s more diverse

#

same with mich too i guess

quasi bough
#

this is why i'd pick something like duke over georgia tech

#

even if im doing CS

ruby falcon
#

Are u doing eng?

quasi bough
#

sorta

#

cs & math

ruby falcon
#

i see

#

bruh

#

i accidentally applied for the cs advance section

#

like

#

unknowingly

quasi bough
#

did u get it 💀

ruby falcon
#

yes

#

but like

#

im terrible at cs

quasi bough
#

GODDAMN

ruby falcon
#

im lowkey phenomenal on block code

quasi bough
#

i got rejected

ruby falcon
#

but like

#

i cannot text code to save my life

quasi bough
#

i dont think they like peolpe who are CS-focused 💀

quasi bough
ruby falcon
#

LSA

#

mathematics

quasi bough
#

yeah

#

no

#

i did adv selection too

#

but LSA

ruby falcon
#

oh

quasi bough
#

i like core LSA reqs more

#

so yeah

ruby falcon
#

did you get in?

quasi bough
ruby falcon
#

nice nice

quasi bough
#

didint get adv sel tho

#

💔

ruby falcon
#

honestly if i could give you my spot i would

quasi bough
#

but its fine

ruby falcon
#

i do not want this shit

quasi bough
ruby falcon
#

maybe

#

also cs job market is just like

quasi bough
#

ive always liked the math behind CS more, so math + data science is perfect

ruby falcon
#

progressively getting more cooked as time goes on

quasi bough
distant harbor
spice island
spice island
quasi bough

skull

spice island
#

right after mit and stanford

quasi bough
#

it might not be to everyones preference

bronze egret
#

Yeah basically that

#

At some point the unis are the same in term of academics for any major
