[arctic narwhal]

Guys, after submitting my app to Stanford , why am I having weird feelings?

[mossy pawn]

no clue

[final solstice]

Why don’t yall just request a brawl stars club in #🎨-hobbies

[dull walrus]

I think I would revise this essay to show more individuality. Because anyone (I'm sure many, many high school students) use AI to help them understand concepts in school. Doesn't show a unique angle--although I agree that AI is a cool topic!

"legacy's only considered" bro everyone who's gotten in from my school in the past decade has been legacy lmfao

[brisk ingot]

bro thats crazy work

[wraith hawk]

Kinda late for that lol Duke’s app was due 3 days ago

[dull walrus]

oh mb gang

Anyways this is just unsolicited advice from a senior so whoever the AO is might think differently

[wraith hawk]

[haughty shore]

[wraith hawk]

SUBMITTED BABY

[thin plank]

[wraith hawk]

Then they won’t accept it

[thin plank]

30 minutes you think im good?

[wraith hawk]

They just closed it man

[haughty shore]

[wraith hawk]

I didn’t mean to send it

That’s why I deleted it

[thin plank]

[haughty shore]

[thin plank]

[thin plank]

[haughty shore]

[wraith hawk]

Stanford email

[wraith hawk]

No I’m just saying

[haughty shore]

[wraith hawk]

The deadlines at 11:59 whatever time zone

[haughty shore]

imagine all the kids who submited like 2-3 min late

[haughty shore]

NOW

muahahaha

2 seconds

[wraith hawk]

I can’t even download the file 💀

[haughty shore]

refresh a bit

[wraith hawk]

My last essay was so bullshit

My roommate one was fine

I mentioned Stanford a lil bit

[wraith hawk]

The thing about the fee waiver too is that our district made it so that everyone gets free lunch

Regardless of financial status

In that case everyone in my district gets a free fee waiver 💀💀💀

[haughty shore]

same lol we love our underresrouced districts'

[tame dust]

wait our district too

could i have gotten a fee waiver

[wraith hawk]

We’re pretty funded

[haughty shore]

oh our district is legit just poor'

out of our 480 seniors only like 70-80 applied to college and at least half of those are just cc

[wraith hawk]

Yeah

[tame dust]

W

[wraith hawk]

Good thinking

[tame dust]

yeah just to be safe

[wraith hawk]

Smart move

[wraith hawk]

Yeah LOL

I just abuse the crap outta that

Don’t need to pay anything

[tame dust]

why didnt i think of that

[wraith hawk]

I paid for Duke cuz I forgot LOL

Everything else though I didn’t pay

[tame dust]

i wasted like $900 bruh

[wraith hawk]

Good thing to switch it over now if you have any other schools you’re doing

I didn’t even get to do NYU or Penn cuz I was so focused on Stanford

[tame dust]

thats why i did those yesterday lmao

well i did nyu yesterday but submitted today

[wraith hawk]

My thought process was to finish Stanford then use those essays to do NYU and Penn

But I literally finished Stanford’s 2 seconds before deadline so

Had no shot

[wraith hawk]

@lavish topaz

[wraith hawk]

Wasn’t NYU’s essay prompt optional

[tame dust]

yes

id still submit it if i were you tbh ur only 24 minutes late

especially since its free for you

ur not wasting any $ or effort

[wraith hawk]

Bet yeah I’ll do that rn

@tame dust how’d you rank the campuses

[tame dust]

like the ones in nyu

?

[arctic narwhal]

My roommate essay went trash

[wraith hawk]

Yes

[thin plank]

[wraith hawk]

[wraith hawk]

It worked? Ggs bro

[arctic narwhal]

I only applied to Stanford.

[wraith hawk]

My last essay was trash

[thin plank]

[wraith hawk]

Wdym

[arctic narwhal]

My last essay was good. IV essay too but roommate was trash

[thin plank]

like when it says downloaded by college

[wraith hawk]

I was talking to @tame dust

[wraith hawk]

For that last essay I just talked about my culture and Stanford’s proximity to Silicon Valley

And all the tech startups and business and stuff

Pretty cool

[arctic narwhal]

I talk abt sports

[thin plank]

bro my roomate essay is so rushed

[wraith hawk]

Wait will Stanford download it then?

[thin plank]

lmfaoo my shit is basic asf

[arctic narwhal]

Samee dude

[thin plank]

not sure

maybe

hopefully

[wraith hawk]

I pulled random things outta nowhere for my roommate essay

One section’s all about basketball baseball and football and the other’s on movies

[arctic narwhal]

I mentioned food, stanford’s class, music, gaming

[wraith hawk]

Crazy pull

[thin plank]

ngl I wasn't going to apply to 20 schools but I got fee waiver so I thought I might as well

[wraith hawk]

I mentioned Italian food lol

[thin plank]

bro I literally just said sports food music and then I talked about how I like my living environment or whatever

[wraith hawk]

I said “if you ever need someone to talk you I got you”

[thin plank]

lmfaoo

[wraith hawk]

It says how you’d be a good roommate so I just snuck that in

[arctic narwhal]

I also talked abt, starting a new startup

[wraith hawk]

And it said to mention Stanford so I just mentioned Stanford’s traditions

Fountain hopping

[wraith hawk]

Bro same I said if you ever wanna pursue an entrepreneurial venture with me come join

[thin plank]

i said that briefly

[wraith hawk]

I said more of the startup stuff in the last essay though

[arctic narwhal]

But 2 of my ecs r related to startups so hope it makes sense

[wraith hawk]

Am I cooked or what

[thin plank]

stanford my super mega reach anyway, not expecting much

[wraith hawk]

I mentioned Christian McCaffrey

Stanford alum

Goat rb

[arctic narwhal]

[hazy parrot]

[thin plank]

[wraith hawk]

[wraith hawk]

Penn I am NOT doing

[arctic narwhal]

[wraith hawk]

Mine was bad it’s okay man

[arctic narwhal]

What 3 majors u selected for Stanford ?

[wraith hawk]

Management Science & Engineering (MSE), Economics, Computer Science

[arctic narwhal]

[wraith hawk]

[arctic narwhal]

I only applied to one school that is Stanford

The next year? You gonna take a gap year or what

Bro 😭😭😭😭

[arctic narwhal]

Yup

[thin plank]

fire strat

[wraith hawk]

Good luck man

[wraith hawk]

I was the complete opposite

Tbf I prefer Stanford over Penn

Warmer weather + better location

[arctic narwhal]

Im obsessed with Stanford

[thin plank]

I prefer both but my mom prefers penn

[wraith hawk]

I think he’s going more towards the high risk high reward track

[arctic narwhal]

Same

[wraith hawk]

No safeties or targets though that’s a bold move

[wraith hawk]

And my essay lowk ain’t bad at all

[thin plank]

lowkey id rather go to community college than safety

[tame dust]

[tame dust]

[wraith hawk]

Thank God NYU has an optional supp, which I still did

[wraith hawk]

Same here

[arctic narwhal]

Yesss. But my counsellor is weird. He doesn’t know how to write well. Im concerned abt tht

[thin plank]

idek why I applied ASU

[wraith hawk]

To be fair almost no one got a shot

[wraith hawk]

For the h

[arctic narwhal]

I don't think it's that deep

[lavish topaz]

[wraith hawk]

Gotta do what I gotta do

I had no other explanation LOL

I explained it further in my Stanford supp though so that’s better

[drowsy oxide]

i woulda just summarized the project tbh

oh

[wraith hawk]

Cook

[lavish topaz]

these are my top 3

thank you yuntiao and lev for the help 🙏🙏🙏

[drowsy oxide]

brawl stars 😭

i wish commonapp had the uc award/activities system

tbh uc application was the best one

[lavish topaz]

uc was nice but holy shit there were so many essays about paid work

[drowsy oxide]

wdym

[lavish topaz]

like i have two jobs and there arre like 3 essays for each

[drowsy oxide]

they werent essays

[lavish topaz]

it was work though 😭😭😭

[drowsy oxide]

like for each job u js desceribe the company and ur role

and then finally theres an optional essay for what u did with ur money

[lavish topaz]

idk if i fileld that

lmao yum yum i love how you phrased it

i feel like

it looks a lot like a resume

you didjt really tie it all together yk

i feel like thats what theyre really asking here

[fervent dust]

you got 50 words there's not much you can do

[arctic narwhal]

Exactly

[fervent dust]

mine looked similar

[arctic narwhal]

You just have to show what u did

[drowsy oxide]

😭

mine feels pretentious

[lavish topaz]

WAIT I SHOULDVE PUT VISITED STANFORD

actually it wasnt summer

i visited on ivy day lmao

[arctic narwhal]

is this Ok?

Or very generic?

[fervent dust]

did you already submit

[lavish topaz]

yeah tbh i feel like theres not much you can do rn

[fervent dust]

yea

[arctic narwhal]

But how’s it? Like any sentence or word u would say abt it

i want an honest review

[fervent dust]

if you alr submitted why think about it

[arctic narwhal]

Im just concerned abt it

[fervent dust]

well there's nothing you can do atp no?

just put it aside and lock in on second semester

[arctic narwhal]

Yeah. Ik that but how did u find it? Boring or ok or wht

[lavish topaz]

is second semester locking necessary i wanna be a second semester senior so baddddd

we still got half of mp2 left and my grades are in the shitter

[fervent dust]

I don't wanna disappoint my rec letter writers lol

[drowsy oxide]

trimester system 💔

[lavish topaz]

i think its easy to glance over important parts of it

which is what ypu wanna try to avoid

[lavish topaz]

wait yeha fair

my cs teacher's writing me a letter of recommendation i chose to take an indep study with him this year and hes like "wheres ur curriculum" and i don't have one i haven't been doing my work cuz its 4th block and god i want to sleep

[fervent dust]

when I asked my math teacher in junior year to write my rec letter (she's still my teacher this year) she was so nice about it and I feel like if I do bad in her class I will forever incur her wrath

[lavish topaz]

wait whatd yall write about for the historical moment one

[fervent dust]

premiere of beethoven's 9th

[lavish topaz]

oooo

hey wait the ninth 🤨

[arctic narwhal]

Guyss ….

[fervent dust]

it's the one I've heard a story about

[raven lotus]

the tone is kinda flat and direct, but idk if thats a bad thing

[lavish topaz]

again i feel like jt reads like a resume you wanna connect it directly to your narrative

[fervent dust]

where beethoven has to be turned around to face is applauding audience because he's deaf

[lavish topaz]

isnt the story that no one ever completes their ninth

ohh

[fervent dust]

it's because of beethoven's 9th

his was the og 9th symphony and it was really really good and because of that there's the "curse of the 9th"

[lavish topaz]

OH

[fervent dust]

is the saying

[lavish topaz]

THATS where it came from ohhhh that makes sense

i stopped watching twoset after freshman year all the classical music knowledge has exited m body

[fervent dust]

I've never watched twoset

maybe I should check em out

[lavish topaz]

apparently they stopped making content my friend was saying like a monthbago 💔💔💔💔💔

[fervent dust]

then maybe they'd find this interesting 👀

[lavish topaz]

@MythicalForce (it's my friends yt channel that i wrote for not anymore cuz he wanted to write for himself)

[raven lotus]

lol my friends are addicted to that game

[drowsy oxide]

[lavish topaz]

but brawl's design really is genius

ive elaborated on my videos and on essay reddit comments (i wasted my time a lot junior year)

having abilities charge on interaction makes it so you can remove irrelevant details and simplify the game while conserving player rng

comparing it to something like pokemon unite where unite has skills that charge on timer (passive abilities) and you need mob spawns to force interaction

which is good if you want to promote a specific long game playstyle like unite and league do

[unique shore]

Guys

luh calm summers

[wraith hawk]

I didn’t get eagle but I was SPL

Which is great for leadership

[keen thicket]

Ye I’m spl too

Ppl say boy scouts doesn’t mean that much anymore tho :/

[haughty wyvern]

i hateddd the UC app

[gleaming talon]

Did anyone else do something non-serious / "funny" for the historical moment prompt
looking back idk if they were looking for you to be an intellectual about it or not

[haughty shore]

i did the taj mahal the construction of it and how its the largest physical representation of love

who did brawl stars

moot up its time to grind pizza slices

[wraith hawk]

W

[gleaming talon]

you've got balls

[wraith hawk]

It isn’t as bad as it seems

[gleaming talon]

Also I was meaning something just... quirky idk 💀

its not even technically a specific historical event

shi maybe a bad idea

[wraith hawk]

The Reichstag burning is a specific historical moment…

[gleaming talon]

I was talking about my essay

[wraith hawk]

Oh 😭

[gleaming talon]

also talking about wanting to witness hitlers rise to power is ballsy ngl

[wraith hawk]

My essay’s a bit dark but it’s historically important

[wraith hawk]

I wanted to see how the world changed in that moment

Ngl yeah that was a ballsy move

It works well though

[wraith hawk]

That works well yeah

I wrote about how the burning of Reichstag in Berlin basically paved the way to Hitler’s authoritarian rule

A bit dark but yeah

Very dramatic and unique

[haughty wyvern]

oh

[wraith hawk]

The path I was going for was to do a dramatic + unique event

Perhaps that was a bit too dramatic but whatever

It was either that or me wanting to witness the announcement of the first iPhone

[fair vessel]

Has anyone else not gotten their portal yet? they havent even downloaded my application either

[wraith hawk]

No I’d wait a few days

[wraith hawk]

Fr dawg I thought they wouldn’t accept it

[drowsy oxide]

yeah

[fervent dust]

I feel like you should still email their AO explaining your circumstance or smth imo cuz it is submitted late

unless as long as it goes through commonapp it's fine or smth

[wraith hawk]

It did go through common app

[fervent dust]

ik but idk if that guarantees you're fine

[wraith hawk]

I thought it was if the green screen popped up then you’re perfectly fine

Not sure

[fervent dust]

cuz people freak out after submitting like minutes or hours late through commonapp

but apparently it's fine for them

[gleaming talon]

I wrote about the first time someone buttered bread 💀 im not joking I actually thought that was a good idea at the time Im fucked

[cunning ruin]

They’re experiencing an influx of applications right now I wouldn’t be surprised

[thin plank]

[wraith hawk]

My last essay was last minute and I bs’ed that too

[wraith hawk]

Someone hit me

[wraith hawk]

Hell yeah I did

[mossy pawn]

[mossy pawn]

i liked this one for me

[wraith hawk]

Tom Byers I had to lookup but he seemed like a great dude

I’d wanna have him

Oh lemme show you my learning prompt

I think it was pretty unique and cool

[fervent dust]

master pianist holy

[wraith hawk]

I like how I laid out the date and setting in the beginning

[thin plank]

fr? I thought it was more of a personal experience and contribution to community, I didn't really think mentioning a specific program or club or whatever meant anything

[wraith hawk]

Set the scene

Using descriptive imagery in the beginning too

[mossy pawn]

it talks about how you'd make a distinctive contribution as an undergrad at stanford so u need to talk about stanford somewhat

[mossy pawn]

😭

cool

[wraith hawk]

Was mine good iyo

[mossy pawn]

i liked my wording for this

[wraith hawk]

I figured most people would go towards more broader topics

For that prompt

I went more specific

[thin plank]

yea yo shit calm asf

[fervent dust]

what did you say

[mossy pawn]

its very interesting

ooh

coalition looks weird tbhj

[wraith hawk]

That’s on Google docs

Ngl bro I think I made a great point where we need schools to teach financial education

[mossy pawn]

self glaze

[wraith hawk]

No I’m talking in general

[wraith hawk]

Schools need to have a required personal finance class

[wraith hawk]

For Stanford?

[mossy pawn]

[thin plank]

[mossy pawn]

fr

[fervent dust]

[mossy pawn]

okok good

i did hear however

[thin plank]

lmfao

[mossy pawn]

that stanford hates how many prefinance people they have

[wraith hawk]

Gotta get that bread up

[mossy pawn]

and actively try to weed them out

[wraith hawk]

I thought it was more the comp sci kids

[fervent dust]

yk I thought I majorly screwed up when I put statistics as first academic interest

[wraith hawk]

Crazy first pick

[fervent dust]

and then found out later they have no stats major 😭

[wraith hawk]

Just go with data science

[thin plank]

stanford doesnt admit by major

i thought

[mossy pawn]

idk thats what my friend said

[wraith hawk]

This man

[thin plank]

[waxen lantern]

And yet there’s still so many of them…

[fervent dust]

the major seems so interesting especially at stanford but the name "data science" just turns me off 😔

gives me buzzword vibes

[wraith hawk]

Wolf of Wall Street ?
