[hollow bobcat]

Cuz it boosts chances, rii

“Less than 50% of admitted students submit research” 🗣️🔥🔥

[fathom flame]

yall apply for nontrivial

[final thorn]

my caltech stem essay is on me trying to do collatz and trying to invent calculus with modular arithmetic in a church service as a 14yo

[open rivet]

It’s a school program (you have to attend to do it) that’s not gonna help u much

[hollow bobcat]

Well acc I forgot lol

[open rivet]

Huh

[white mauve]

the people there are interesting

[open rivet]

I’m cooked reading those words

[white mauve]

is all ill say

[final thorn]

my why major is on me trying to do collatz by inventing new math as a 14yo in a church service

[hollow bobcat]

If u get in then I think you'll rlly fit the caltech nerdy vibe nc

[late ore]

yeah
idk if i've told you but I've got exoplanet research and gravitational lensing research

[open rivet]

Math and church combo threw me off I’m sorry 😭

[fathom flame]

i tried to do collatz at 14 too!

[worldly anvil]

there u had god by your side

[fathom flame]

but i don’t go to church

[hollow bobcat]

Damnnn
You did the map stuff too rii

[late ore]

I make maps and graphics but i didnt do the complex number-integer mapping, that was @boreal pelican

[hollow bobcat]

Someone posted a map portfolio they made for caltech. Idk, I didn't grab but it had to do with geo

[final thorn]

i think my most recent predraft is on toeplitz square peg

[late ore]

OHH YEAH i did that

i forgot abt that

[final thorn]

my rabbit hole essay was on metaphysics and set theory/abstract algebra

[final thorn]

he didnt want me to get 1mil bounty 😭

[late ore]

my rabbit hole essay was about baryon acoustic oscillations and the expansion of the universe

[hollow bobcat]

Why is everyone sso nerdyyy

I love this

[final thorn]

see with stem im like crazy abstract which means i also want philosophy and mit fits that better

i still lvoe caltech tho

[worldly anvil]

erm too many fancy words

[fathom flame]

me and my friend always joke we are going to throw away our career solving collatz together, want to join?

[hollow bobcat]

I'm guessing you chose caltech early cuz of the acc rate then

[final thorn]

ffffffffuck no

[final thorn]

no i did yale early LOL

[fathom flame]

i hate you

[late ore]

its a whole thing abt overdensities in the early universe and photon-baryon coupling and whatever but essentially its abt the distribution of galaxies

[final thorn]

i want to be able to like own a house

😁

[late ore]

thats p much it

[hollow bobcat]

Ohhh broooo. I thought you were with us

[final thorn]

there was a guy who i knew whos 2sem senuor courseload was algebraic top, diff geom, and abs alg 2

he only app mit and caltehc

wl mit

got caltech

[late ore]

only those 2 is crazy

[fathom flame]

wait almost literally me

[final thorn]

he was a sigma

[fathom flame]

In the winter I am taking Abstract Linear Algebra, Modern Algebra, Differential Geometry, and Combinatorial Theory, and in the spring, Elementary Number Theory, Modern Algebra, Discrete Mathematical Modeling, and Minimal Surfaces, for fun.

[worldly anvil]

it just wont stop 😭

[late ore]

im thankful you're not highly invested in astrophysics

[final thorn]

racist for sure

[worldly anvil]

bruh

[regal perch]

so like a 1420 isnt immediate disqualify

they said caltech aint test blind no more

so ur cooked if 1420

[regal perch]

damn alr

[fathom flame]

but i would be sure to get recs that speak to your wnflish and math abilities

[worldly anvil]

yes

[regal perch]

i have uhh

700 psat math

[fathom flame]

they will probably consider you if you have 700+ on both

[regal perch]

720 rw 700 math

[fathom flame]

that’s fine

[worldly anvil]

nice

[fathom flame]

but you need to mention the psat math maybe
