i have family in chicago but hyde park kinda scares me (since i'm coming from a small rural town)
yep ty! i may as well apply as rd even if i get rejected

hyde park isnt that bad compared to most of chicago
they got crazy campus police

none of my other colleges have this so idk

once the deadline passes i want to share my extended essay idea because i thought it was fire

evangelical christian school in virginia

Lowk I’d go to BYU just to get brainwashed and become happy
byu is actual hell if you're nonmormon, nonwhite, or a woman
civic holly
byu is actual hell if you're nonmormon, nonwhite, or a woman
Isn’t it like 60% Mormon women though
fervent saffron
yes, but the school honor code is so fucked
civic holly
byu is actual hell if you're nonmormon, nonwhite, or a woman
The QB is one of three Jewish people on campus lol
civic holly
yes, but the school honor code is so fucked
Depends on your worldview
fervent saffron
very controlling
civic holly
Again depends on your worldview
I’d prolly kms there but still
That’s their way ykwim
fervent saffron
im sure for some people it's the perfect fit but i would implode
fervent saffron
and you're at risk of losing all your credits if you get caught breaking the honor code
therefore having wasted years of time and money
civic holly
It’s free if your a church member
fervent saffron
it is?
civic holly
Yeah that’s the main reason people go
fervent saffron
i think they just get a discount
but it's pretty cheap
in mormonism it's seen as the #1 college even if you have the stats to go somewhere better
civic holly
Well duh
fervent saffron
i know exactly one mormon person in my school and she could probably get into somewhere top 20 but her first choice is byu
fervent saffron
the mormon church actually has so much fucking money
civic holly
Why go anywhere else?!?
fervent saffron
it's crazy
civic holly
the mormon church actually has so much fucking money
It’s insane.
They literally own a state
fervent saffron
they have over $200 billion
civic holly
And don’t even ask about their holdings in the Middle East
But also
The Catholic Church is the largest non government landowner in the world
fervent saffron
thats what happens when you have a lot of successful members who also pay 10% of their income to you
fervent saffron
The Catholic Church is the largest non government landowner in the world
oh yeah it's crazy
civic holly
177 million acres
fervent saffron
but they are much less culty than mormonism and spend a large amount of that money on charity and stuff
mormons are very pressured to go on a mission to spread the church which you would think the church pays for but no
civic holly
Well they have mandatory like
2 years after hs
Where they do procetalysing
Or however you spell that
fervent saffron
proselytizing
it's not mandatory but socially very encouraged
and admired
one cool thing about mormon missions though is that they are really good at teaching people languages fast
civic holly
Oh yeah it’s crazy
Like
Their better than the US military
The government sent people to byu during Iraq to learn Arabic faster
fervent saffron
so much of what we know about linguistics and language learning comes from missionaries
civic holly
Makes sense
No one else had a reason to understand language that much until recently
fervent saffron
the bible has been translated into soooo many languages
civic holly
All of them that have spelling
fervent saffron
over a thousand i think
civic holly
And even some that don’t
It’s funny cause in some groups think that once everyone hears about Jesus the second coming happens

formal sonnet
I heard bama gives huge rides to semifinalists and finalists
fervent saffron
i just cant wait to be out of high school and in college
formal sonnet
Also weirdly enough I’ve seen so many people from bama go to Ivy law schools
Maybe it’s coz the gpa boosts
fervent saffron
I heard bama gives huge rides to semifinalists and finalists

formal sonnet
Yeah
fervent saffron
i dont like when colleges do that
formal sonnet
Same
sly mulch
Doesn’t ed1 have a higher acceptance rate
Yeah but between ed1 and ed2 it’s probably close
fervent saffron
my hot take is that most colleges should only have one application plan except the t20s can also have restrictive early action and no ed at all
formal sonnet
Like I’m not as invested to UChicago so like idk how many people yall are seeing getting into Ed and shi
fervent saffron
ea is just forcing people to get on their college applications sooner for no reason
sly mulch
Like I’m not as invested to UChicago so like idk how many people yall are seeing...

if you submit a strong LOCI you have a spectacular chance
i wonder how yale's works because theirs is out of 5
well that's speculation by students
im wondering about the actual process on the record by AOs
coke scholar will never not be funny to me
did they get in
yeah that's probably the highest score people will get
probably more stem based kids
speculation though
because they think the student will pick yale
they send likelies to kids that are less likely to go to yale
they say thats for olympics
"A student who is active in a typical collection of activities without a whole lot of distinction might get a five, and someone who is extremely unusual in their commitment or distinction would get a nine, but that might be an Olympic athlete or a Tony Award winner or something like that."
sorry you can tell ive read too much of this
lol
at least they're transparent about it
[Mark]
"I don’t know if you have, I have never seen a nine. I have never given a nine, I’ve never been in committee with a nine. I know they exist, but"
senior yale AO has literally never seen a 9 💀
they do in the podcast?
they're only "weird" because students make it weird
uh because ive read all the transcripts and so i remember what they say 💀
LMAOAO
"i have studied your school thoroughly"
"i can quote you"
LMAO no but like
i was looking for one thing
ended up reading the whole thing in like an hour
or at least the important parts i didnt read all their covid podcasts
so now i go around bullying hs seniors that start spouting bs about yale admissions
👍
LMAOAOAOA nah not you
but like some people are very insistent about the whole interview thing
and im like
bro
if they tell you it's not a screening
just trust them
even if they do have an incentive to lie to you its out of your control anyways
well that's how you get sued and i dont really care whether they get sued or not
i care about my own mental wellbeing
and so i choose to trust what they say because they have the best explanation that satisfies my mental wellbeing
LMAO
on the bright side harvard has had to release their whole process due to the court case
so they cant be lying there
ive read that too if you need anything from there 💀
technically i have a 55% chance of admission
also why the chances are so sus
me flipping a coin and getting tails
well
we'll all get in somewhere
oh
im philosophy
