boulder is too expensive for oos tho
sadly
Is it 70k?
it is either princeton or state school for me
PRINCETON FIN AID IS INCREDIBLE
I was shocked
not in the physics department
Huh
which safeties u guys are applying to
Is it different for departments?
Boulder lol
wdym
Wait I’m so confused
my state university has a bad physics department
Boulder has this weird thing where you have to pay different amounts for different departmnet a
I'm already into UPitt and they offered a pretty good merit scholarship, so just looking at other places that give good merit ones
my safeties(kinda) are lafayette and syracuse but they arent even safeties
pitt 🔥
northeastern might be kinda cheap because i qualify for one of the merit scholarships
REAL
if i get in
ı just want it to worth if ı should move to the other side of the world so
University of Idaho 🔥
im not even applying to any other safeties pitt is so awesomesauce
named princeton
I just have tiers of schools based on a) will they let me in and b) is the genomics program any good
Pffft
Princeton, Idaho
I have a teacher who went to Princeton as his third choice (bc he didn't want to go to Duke lol), so when he was driving up for move-in, he genuinely had no clue princeton was in NJ
yo this is the asian uspermarket x10
I feel like I know too much about Princeton in comparison to literally any other college bc I've lived here my entire life
you LIVE in PRINCETON?
I grew up going to the Princeton Public LIbrary
you can write a killer why us
princeton public library is lowkey kinda cool looking
i have a few friends that live there as well its such a nice town
IT'S GREAT, I LOVE IT
I spent so much time there over the summer because I did PLL and would go there when I finished work and my mom couldn't pick me up
I know the librarians by name lol
WOAJ
you applied to princeton yeah?
Yeah
youre a lock lol
I hope lol
bro no you're not you never know
rejected until proven otherwise
You have to have hope
nah
or how about awaiting decisiosn until proven otherwise
i'll pass
I'm particularly nervous bc I know that there are a few legacies at my school
Who are like
Generational legacies
And they have similar stats to me
is sibling legacy a thing at princeton
I don't think so
bro u got PLL youre cracked 💀
wtf is a PLL
THIS
Princeton Lab Learning
Princeton Leadership camp
because ı know someone applied from my country with a sibling legacy
i got rejected from pll 😔
THATS SICKKKK
yeah i probably wouldnt have been able to afford that anyway
OMG
Yeah, I mean, I live here, so it didn't cost anything
im rpetty sure you have to live near princeton to do it
ohhhh
or be able to go there regularly
It's not like I had to rent an apartment
yeah
- they had me doing work, so it was more like an unpaid internship
i think someone at my school did pll actually but he lives and breathes penn
how can they ask for more?
I'm basically competing with 4-10 people about my school for 1-2 spots is the thing
All of whom also worked in labs over the summer
im competing with 0 people at my school for 0 spots, its all a ruse
Three people from my school made it in early last year, so I'm hoping the luck carries over
our class size is 19 and only 7 people are applying to us so ım competing with 0 people too
omg thats so tiny
We just decided to not apply to same schools in early
my school hasnt sent someone to a T10 since 1994
thats smartttt
NJ schools are just scary man
and thats the only person ever
My school also used to be a feeder school tho
i hate competing with jersey kids in science fairs bruh 💀
For Princeton
As in, we were founded in the late 1800s
Bc someone from Princeton convinced a dead guy's widow that his fortune would be best spent on a school that was a feeder for Princeton
there isnt even an alternate universe that i get accepted in
my school had 3 princetons in its history(15 years)(prob out of 100-150 people applying to US in total)
you don't know that
we've had 4 but i think like 3/4 were sport recruits
2 of them were ipho medalists
💀
DAYUMMMM
same bro its joever
is it bad that i dont know what any of these things are
bro we went over this
me neither
was i supposed to try to do these things
I know a guy who got into Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, Dartmouth, and Oxford
youre getting in
He was my school's valedictorian two years ago
bro it hasnt gotten un-overed since then tho
He was a bit scary
youre fine
stop fueling my delulu ok this is ptown were talking abt
but for the last 3 years princrton consistently rejects our schools ipho medalists in early and ım applying for economics and political science so who knows
when i get rejected its gonna spell the death of anyone trying to apply T10 from my school
can i call you nav
your name is too hard
is it two or one L?
for the forseeable future
You said that, and I immediately thought, "navigation?"
ohh
im not actually that clever. i came up with it by myself but so did a thousand other sullivans
we out here praying that princeton deeply values personal characteristics over achievements here
pls dont dox me any more than that lil bro
praying that the aos had a good day
i hope mine woke up on right side of bed
nice cup of coffee
my ao is doing his first ever year as an ao
my essays were nearly all about characteristics so theyd probably be like nice guy but nahh
you know them?
except for the why us essay
mines from tufts
you can just look them up
pause
she told me wrong answer in college fair smh
i searched mine up shes like a nice mom
im worried abt it
she looks sooo sweet
i might apply there actually
tf did you guys find like linkden
he served Idaho, Nevada, and Los Angeles so he probably spends 100% of his time in LA
just on the website lol
mine is from princeton💀
omg
The AO for my area is the dean of admission
i'm not dedicated enough
studied econ
my interviewer called me all but a perfect fit so thats a small positive
still getting rejected
broo i wish i had that kinda interviewere
my interview lasted an hour
Great chili dogs
great hoagies
Go to Hoagie Haven for those tho
ik a girl from where u are but shes not applying to pton
ig u like the area tho
mine was like 30 min at max and it wasnt anything impressive just a casual chat
bruh we talked forever about everything
physics, music, some light politics, rural life
mine she prefaced by saying cant go over 30 mins and it went to 40 so ig thats a good sign? we talked about really random shit
Mine was 40 min bc her Zoom was only 40 min
my dude loved me
ı dont think they care too much about interviews tho
probably just ppls preference
fair
They don’t
Interviews can only keep you out
depressingly interviews mean nothing
yea just glad i didnt totally bomb mine
lowkey i thought it was the best part of my application
which is why im getting rejected
mine got interrupted by an underclassmen even though ı wrote DONT ENTER IM IN COLLEGE INTERVIEW to a huge paper and hang it to the door but she was totally great about it hope it wont affect anything
i did mine in my dining room and my mom kept trying to talk to me
lol
my classmate had one with her before me and another classmate had one with her right after me
i was the forgettable middle child
ı already stated that ım in a dorm so ı dont think she mind that(hope so)
i might be the only person from my school ever to apply to princeton
you talk about your school like its a small village school from africa or smth
i mean
arent you from us
yes
believe it or not
there are parts of the united states
that are very sparsely populated
where nobody dreams of going to a T20 school
even my school had more than 50 people applied to princeton and we are an extremely small and new school from turkey
lmao
its different overseas
here you can just go to community college or whatever
thats true
overseas you have to apply at the top because thats the only way you can afford it
to go to school in america that is
yea in my state its free!
we only apply to most competitive ones because others dont give any fin aid for ints
exactly
yea the select few
europe is our safety
in my area nobody WANTS to go to college really anyway and if they do its to play sports or party and not to learn
hell yeah here to partyyyy
( i have never been to one in my life )
HOLY
Please please Princeton
Actually I’m totally cool
I need to touch grass more often
chill
please please please 🐅 🐯 😻
are we filming the reactions?
I’m gonna sing
i am but gonna delete it in all likelyhood
Please please please
im gonna do a lil dance ngl
Post it
im gonna do peek a boo for the result
YEAGGG
cover my eyes while page load
GO WAWA
nah i was gonna play the sigma boy song
yall haven’t lived until you’ve had wawa
I IHOPS I GEG TI TRY IT
👍
i hope i get to go to hoagies
😂
ı am, ıll be staying up until 3 am with my friends just drinking and chilling just hope the decision will be a cherry on top
release time is 3 am in my local time zone
ı think dartmouth will release it on the same day and time with princeton so one of my friends will also receive his decision at the same time
Guys I’m so glad I’m not being compared to the absolute sweats in general
damn its 3am in ur time zone?
but all of us applying to us will gather in dorm and wait until 3 am together
Shut up that’s so much fun
wait drinking?
I rest easy knowing that I’m basically being compared to nobody
🤨
Isng it 7:00 est?
yea i stay late
Phhh I see
school is a full time job
Sweaty
I come home right at 3
less than my classmates. they LIVE at school
And then nap
boarders
Until 6
LUCKY
I praise god that I am not being compared to you people
last years early day was tough ı remember us waiting on the door of the gathering place for our upperclassmens decisions
we didnt want to interrupt them but we were too anxious to wait
Forever a blessing I don’t live in the Bay Area or east coast LOL
Idagoat
and now its our own decisions💀
nah we would just glaze them for getting into literally every ivh
ivy
STILL GETTING REJECTED
dammit
dammit
lol loser
at least my state is better in education than urs
same but in the end they didnt and we were just like its their loss
only good thing is boulder tbh
i beg forgiveness. co has amazing mtns
We’re up to 49th from 50th last year lets fucking go
HELP
what state are you from
I was gonna apply REA here but I wanted to have better essays so I waited lol
But this is my dream school tbh
Only like a 40 minute drive, top tier for eng, etc etc
I submitted my app like October 3rd 💀
Holy moly
holy
I started it in August
i did mine a day before i thought i was good
Mine was submitted 2 days before 💀
damn
And as soon as my counselor said it was good I submitted it
I submitted all my applications for the EA round on october 31 and nov 1
deadass
💀
I thought about that too but with all of the rd schools ı think itll be harder to focus on princeton essays because the app is long asf
ppl started writing the essays 11:40pm
east coast isn't that competitive
nj is crazy
Nah I've been staying on top of things
not all east coast tho
I’m gonna get rejected because what a small town counselor thinks is good is shit in the eyes of Princeton
there's like 5 good public schools in this state
depends where lmao
millburn west windsor and some of the magnets
OH YHOMAS JEFFERSON
I submitted mine in the morning of the last day
AHDHHHAHHAHHDHAHHA
thats va
that’s how i feel rn waiting for the rea decision
TJHSST mentioned 
Guys I am deadass getting rejected and I will be devastated but I am preparing myself so it hurts less
ye ig
I assure you that the worst that will happen is a deferral
tjhsst is wild
are you actually rural
Nope
FRRRRR
bro missed stuy and all the big boarding ones 
and pton hs
Yes my school is classified as Rural Fringe by the NCES
pton hs is not allat dude
same i’m PRAYIBG to get deferred, but if i get rejected my mental health gonna be 📉📉
it is for pton lmao
yea ik
I’m getting rejected and that is final
west windsor scares me tho
nah real
personally i couldn’t handle going to college with that many people from my hs
like that whole district is an oly sweatshop i stg
like for the pton hs people
benq my goat
yall would go wild at my hs
millburn is also pretty cracked but this year's crop isn't that good
Yo what have I missed
Yall would be miserable here
but next year alexander wang will be applying
oly sweatshop 😭😭
it's true bro😭
go look at the USAMO medals and there is always at least one and probably more from west windsor
Princeton has no need for someone from my school, nobody would fault them if they didn’t admit anybody from southern Idaho
We were celebrating your acceptance to pricetnon
😭
holy smokes southern idaho ?!
dhr in amc 12 is crazy
i would personally fault them myself bro dw
i think i got pretty close this year
boise
Right I just cut a cake rn 🎉🎉
you'll clutch up
Are you from Boise?
No bro I mean like
Real southern Idaho
Boise is not southern Idaho
That’s treasure valley
u did pton rea?
This is southern Idaho
what about the rest of the south of idaho
Minus the top two counties
ye
Treasure valley and eastern Idaho
cs?
bro my midwest school is light work
Do they even factor in your major during the application
Some people call treasure valley Western Idaho
damn I'm also majoring in ECE lol
No
gl😂
well I think you have a good shot
not as cooked as cs
like there’s only two of us in a 450 class who’s done research full stop
I haven’t done research
Wish I could have
Same
yeah I wanna do quantum computing stuff or go work for nvidia not sure yet
and no international competitions besides deca
So many things I couldn’t do
same bro
I think that's an absurd "requirement"
I might try to go like TSMC too
never had time motivation
i went to chicago for two months to do mine
I think that'd be cool
I’m so glad that it allegedly won’t be held against me
it might be held against me bro i canttt
We wouldn’t have been able to afford something like that
I did 2 of mine online and 1 of them in an university in my city
OMG ME TOO!
There is absolutely nothing anyone can tell me what will make me think I’m getting accepted unless it’s “CONGRATULATIONS ! ! !”
oh hell nah
But I talked more about civil
omg that’s awesome!! i’m from pennsylvania
I dunno… if that helps…
I didn't REA here tho
I do hope I get in tho
I think being from NJ helps
I heard that from a Princeton prof
so
Hi
I think being from Idaho helps lowkey
nah i got nothing to hide tbh. anyone whos in a2c would be a dude in a glass house throwing stones
my a2c friends are WAY more flamable than me
I estimated that two or three people from Idaho applied early to Princeton
prestige freaks
not that i can accuse them of anything tbf
my common app list is pulled straight from usnews t20
not even kidding its bad
thurs 12th 7pm est
r u not a math major?
whats ur time zone bro
overpopulated
oh its prob 4 am or smth
mine is 3 am
For a rejection
I can’t wait to get rejected
It’ll confirm everything I’ve been told my entire life
Bro and I have an exam that day
Do I come home and see the result
wait imma just open it in school lmao
in front of everyone
SAME
imma airplay it in classroom
imma livestream it on twitch
If I wasn’t good enough for Princeton as a hooked applicant I’m most certainly not good enough elsewhere
wym? u mean unhooked or smthn
oh nvm
u edit i see
ivy day twitch livestream would go crazy ngl
yea thats my feeling too tbh
If I get straight up rejected I’m gonna abandon my RD apps and just go to state school like is expected of me
Bro
bro i just might have to lmao. imagine the pity donations if i get rejected from everywhere
how can you wait for that many hours ı just cant even if it was 5 am ı'd probably stay awake
Why sacrifice sleep over rejection lmfao
Where would they get a rural Idaho kid from lmfao
i exist solely to fulfil institutional needs
Start ivy day crypto coin, pump and dump come out rich
from rural idaho
Nobody wants to apply to college here though
You're literally standing out then
When I say I’m probably the only one it isn’t hyperbole
It is with complete confidence
they prob care abt ID overall like boie
boise
Which is why I’ll get rejected
Some Boise kid will be the institutional pick to fill the state
You severely underestimate how put down and beaten up rural kids are here
do you guys have any checklist to do if you got accepted
Maybe there’s a few
i have dares
If I wasn’t rejected already and got accepted I’d probably be excited
betting with the man upstairs
I will never feel that but that’s okay
yeah thats what ı mean
yea
decisions dropped
wait fr?
nah srry
lmao
Staying realistic
ngl tho it makes me less panicked to know you guys are all as panicked as me
and ı cant even tell them theyd prob ban me💀
I’m not panicking
totallyy you guys match my freak
I am calmly accepting reality
i alr got warned im too silly i gotta become a chill guy
Princeton has nothing to gain by accepting me
I will be rejected
It’s already decided bro
gl
I didn't rea here but will rd
its like youre spamming at this point
Schrodingers status update
you just wont know. youll still be rejected/deferred/accepted
What’s it called if you already know
its called u dont alr know lil bro
i gotta get off a2c this is depressing
I don t think I’m going to get on the server on Thursday-Friday
me neither
I’ll have my own stuff to process and I don’t want to share in the misery
thursday will be so much fun on princeton thread in a bad way
Plus on the off chance I get in I don’t want to make people’s already hurtful pain worse
esp for the mods LMAO
ı think ıll try not to be here but ıll end up here anyways
I might make one comment on my decision in the results channels
i’m probs gonna delete discord before the decision
and either celebrate or work on my rd apps after lol 10000% focus
process and make a comeback 🙏
ı can only enter discord with VPN so its not a problem for me ı can just not open my VPN
because its currently banned in my country
💀💀
idk if ı can mentally handle that 2-3 weeks
thats why ı NEED this acceptance
this is why you do your RD essays beforehand
I have literally just this school harvard stanford left
and then I'm done🥳
if ı finished them before ı'd probably wont like them one week after and decide to write them all over again
even with princeton one week after my submission ı started to find flaws about them
so procrastination works for me at this scenario
i made a list of how hard it would be to write the essays and then did the hardest over the summer so i could manage the rest if i had to
i organized it into tiers of basically no extra work required, some tweaking, major reworks of past essays, and then needed completely new essays and started from there
ı think if we handled princetons app others will be too easy for us except stanford and caltech
for the ones ı checked princetons was by far the longest
yeah esp harvard
i’m applying to uchicago too 💀💀💀
their prompts need at least 300 words and they're like 100 words will be fine
uchicago tries too hard to be quirky ngl
i really like uchicago but i know im cooked
just give one why us prompt one diversity prompt and one intellectual curiosity prompt like why trying too hard about it
it’s hard to come up with ideas but i feel like once i get one it could be fun
that was the thing with my commonapp essay
ı had to write 9 times all over again and stressing about it but my last draft took me 2-3 hours
I just edited some little stuff afterwards
If it makes you feel a bit better, I had a whole idea, wrote it out, drafted and re-drafted, felt great about it
Then sent it to my counselor
i went through maybe 4 different ideas but tbh when i got the one i knew i had it
Who just said that it "read like a supplemental" and that I should try again
actually someone from princeton read my commonapp essay and found it too abstract
but it felt true to me so i sent it anyways
as long as you’re happy with your essay that’s all that should count tbh
from this server
but one of our school alumni that went to princeton also read it and loved it
totally agree
thinking abt dropping it 💀
i love uchicago too much to drop it but i know fs im ngmi 💀
Real, dropped it bc it was too cold lol
Honestly considering dropping my Harvard/MIT apps solely bc when I went up to HMMT, I was freezing
Who here is ED'ing or EA'ing to Princeton?
I'm looking for some wisdom :>
Myself
I'm REA'ing (Princeton does not offer ED)
most of us here are
bro💀
not yet :). I'm just looking for wisdom from the masters of the art.
what kind of wisdom
Honestly, for freshmen?
What art
it’s from mit but applies really to any school
Take the extra time you have now to keep your grades up, figure out good study methods, and discover what you enjoy
thank you 🙏
Then sophomore year, start really focusing in on what you love
junior/senior year, try to get leadership in that
Ok.
And try to actually do something with that leadership
Don't just be on your library's advisory board to be on it, start a service project through the library that is scalable
Make sure that it is something you actually love though
I have one sentence
Don't do it for resumes, do it because it's important to you and in a world where money doesn't matter, you would choose to pursue it
Anyone here applying as a NJ resident ?
Don’t think about applications until right before you start your senior year. If you do a bunch of cool things and take a bunch of cool classes, that means you are an innovator, a creator, and a thinker, not someone chasing after status or the name of a school.
kids at my school do not do this 💀
I guess that was two sentences
They will all be rejected
well some of them do but most no
it works though I guess
idk about that
If you’re just a straight up machine you’re not gonna get LORs
Doing things for college != being a machine wha
What powerful wisdoms. I thank you for your time 🙏
Ok 👍 Thanks for the advice 🙏
My mantra is gonna blow up in my face when all the people who did things just for a resume get in and I don’t
But I stand by what I say
Me!
I didn’t think about applying to college until a few months ago and I think I’m better off because of it
^ As someone who tried to think about it from freshman year, it just doesn't work out
better off in life? probably
for college admissions? probably not unless you're driven/really smart
I say start by junior year
This is lowkey really hurtful
But as a freshman, it's your time to try new things
I didn’t drown myself in things I hate because I was chasing a name
Make sure you want to continue old things
I think that makes me better off
I did things that I loved and things that bettered the world around me
College came second
By this, I mean I tried to have a plan for all of the places I wanted leadership
I have leadership in completely difference places now
Hmm ok.
I think I have maybe 1-2 things in common?
Let life take you where it wants to
If you’re driven, you’ll naturally rise to the top
You make a lot of assumptions here about everyone else
Everyone doesn't just "chase a name"
everyone doesn't hate the things they do just because they do it for admissions
Everyone doesn't carry that attitude of "oh my god I hate this thing I want to quit"
But my freshman year, I really thought I was going to get really into being into the school newspaper
this is true
but I also think you're coping a bit
I see that in this server like every day
I haven't written for them since early 2023
I'm not too focused on colleges yet but I wanted to see what should I do to get the most out of these 4 years of high school
On the other hand, I just tried Math Club at my school for fun freshman year
Pardon me for not planning my life out bit by bit and just enjoying high school
cool, good for you
don't try to say you're better than others for it though
And I'm now co-president and have gone to various math competitions with my school's math team, including the Harvard-MIT Math Tournament
they have their goals and you have yours
maybe your goal wasn't to sweat hs in pursuit of college and just enjoy life, good for you
What will work for you may or may not work for someone else
Well I see these people who are in mentally scary states and I worry about them
this is legit the cheapest option
Damn. I went to HMMT weeks ago
i need to save my fam money
FR cheaper than my state school
really? did you stay for the acapella group?
please please please
My friend was in it lol
i need the dough
Did u go?
I tell every freshman here to take it slow
If yes then u might know my school.
lol you weren't really worrying about them, you were just saying that you turned out better because you didn't push yourself like everyone else
regardless, there's some bias in what you're seeing anyways
I did! I'm also co-president of my school's acapella group and a couple of my friends from last year are at Harvard
So I stayed for acapella, then headed out to chat with friends during the semi-finals of the integration bee, and came back for the finals
Not doing stuff for a resume ≠ not pushing myself lol
Dartmouth aires are awesome
tell yourself that ¯_(ツ)_/¯
anyways I'm off
nah this is highkey true
I’m about to get real fucking pissed off right now
DONT DO THINGS JUST CUZ IT LOOKGS GOOD ON APP
the important thing is how u present the stuff u did, how u tell the tory
story
imo people who are weak-minded just say "wah I don't like this I won't do it"
Sometimes you have to do things you don't like
anywaysa thats fr it bye
gotta be genuine
Doing stuff just to make it onto your resume is not going to look genuine, but continuing with stuff you are passionate about is going to create a good resume
I do know that school @fallow sparrow , I actually said hi to a couple people from there lol
I go to a similar school that is in NJ
I think I'm one of them.
nah this is a wild take im sorry. do what ur passionate about, or if u dont know yet do what u like and try new things until u find it. dont push urself thru stuff thatu dont wanna do @fallow sparrow
i mean ofc u gotta get good grades and test scores but if we're talking ecs
I’m the only senior in Calculus
I’m potentially the best trumpet player in my state
I’ve worked at a library for three years and have risked potentially my life defending it against political attacks
I am the captain, spokesman, essay writer, and electrician on my robotics team
And I’ve had to do all of this with virtually no support system, no encouragement, no recognition
Don’t you FUCKING dare say I don’t push myself.
I'm not from phillips actually. I'm just friends with lots of phillips people
I just didn’t do it for the app
alr bro chill we're all pretty locked in here he was just saying smthn else (which i disagree with) not personal attack on u
Gotcha lol, I think we were in the same building for the third round
He was literally personally attacking me though
Oh nice.
Oh, I know a couple seniors at your school
We're not really friends anymore, but I went to middle school with them
that's good to know.
Anyway, at this point, it's all about casting a wide net to get a sense of what you feel passionate about
Something you feel that you could pursue to a leadership role
Ok. Thanks for the wisdom! I appreciate your time 🙏
It's cheesy, but if you genuinely love your ECs, you'll find your own story to tell by your senior year, and you'll be great
Yeah don’t listen to that other guy
Find yourself and applying to college will be easy
I mean, my CommonApp and the graded written paper I submitted are some of the most personal pieces of writing I've ever done
once you find your passion and pursue it there’s an infinite number of ecs you could unlock that are genuinely fun for you
yea this @fallow sparrow
My CAPS describes a feeling I haven’t even told my family about
The graded written paper is just a research paper on how natural therapies effects those with dementia 💀
Even in my supplementals, I'm not writing about my SAT score or my grades or some leadership role that I have, I'm writing about the impact that I've made on my community and the impact that community has made on me
Oh lol, mine is an argumentative paper on how the American education system rejects mixed kids, with examples taken from my own life and statistics from large surveys
And how the number of mixed kids is only growing, so we need to make space for them eventually (and by eventually, I mean soon)
Yeah my school is in shitass Idaho so we have very babied classes
Yeah that’s kinda what ur supposed to do
My CAPS was about a very personal issue of mine
I liked it a lot
My caps was about how being involved in multiple leadership roles is such a foreign idea to a rural kid that I had to go through an experience to realize that they all show up in one person and aren’t different “versions” of me
Same, and my point is that @fallow sparrow 's time as a freshman should be spent finding those places where they can create the impact + living their life
ong but also we should all chill a lil
ive been reading thru this conversation and yall are heated af 😭
theres also a huge luck element so it doesnt help after a certain point
^^ That too
👍
It's a crapshoot lol
I don’t think there’s any luck at all
Is it officially Thursday?
I enjoyed my high school career
wait until wednesday
we're literally just pixels on a screen cat i think in the end youre the only one who can say what will form a successful highschool experience for yourself
nope
Actually that’s kinda a lie I hated most of the people around me
not announced yet, just highly speculated
same 🙏
I’m gonna miss it
I'm going to miss it, but I'm also excited for the future
But I’m also ready to start a new chapter
Tbh I just wanna crash out for a bit
its 50% luck
SAME LMAO
i cant afford to
After Thursday 🙏
if i do get in, im going to spend all of chrismtas break watching tv and eating bad stuff
I love that for you

No, my school does this final showcase for seniors, and my friend and I are planning on singing, "For Good" from Wicked. It's the last show we'll ever sing in together, and it's going to make me cry so hard
That’s what I spend every week at this point doing
I just watch shows and eat crap food

I’m not optimistic but I suppose it could happen
Sorry, just trying to be helpful

It’s such a shame that we can’t all get in to Princeton

I’ll take the fall for one of you guys
I mean, as they say, they can fill 8 classes with qualified students
Wait I'm not sure if they say that to general public or just the interviewers
general public i think? it was in the letter in the rejection stimulator 🤡
nah dont use that bro im an atheist but even i believe in karma
HAHAHAH
Considering all things in my app point to the positive end except for one, I’ll probably get rejected d
But
Who knows
We will see
Amazing, I forget what I hear from actual interviewers is just what they get from meetings and what they get from princeton released stuff
just prepping myself 🙏 exposure ntherapy works
Let’s all take long walks and reflect
also i wont even need to sim it
u saying touch grass?
yessss 🙏 i love long walks
It’ll be alright
OMG WAIT UR LISTENING TO MAGNETIC
Me, walking to my school's orchestra concert tonight in the cold lol
I LOVE THAT SONG
I’ll get rejected and then get into Yale or something

Well my app is great but I’m worried about having one year of foreign language
It was earlier tonight, I was just on setup/cleanup bc I'm on the leadership for my school's music council and the other two were literally in the concert
OH cool!!
i cant be freaked out abt rejection cuz then i wouldnt be a chill guy
bringing out my inner chill guy 🙏
!princeton
I will literally be 50% less stressed once I know the day it comes out lol
Pero dicho en mi aplicación que hablo español autodidacta
I don't think it'll respond bc the date isn't confirmed yet
bros trying to get in thru discord commainds aint no way
Ohhh
Hopefully that counts for something
It’ll work for sure ‼️
WOAH COOL
oui oui
nadie te enseñó?
O solamente practicaba sin otras?
Si porque trabajo en la librería necesitamos una persona que puede hablarlo en los sábados
oooh i see
No senior staff work on Saturdays and the only other speaker is the director
So I brushed up
Mi hermana mayor hizó eso para trabajar en el hospital
thats so cool omg
did she take classes or was she self tuahgt too?
I only use it occasionally face to face so I struggle to speak aloud and listen
But typing and reading I’m great
En el pasado, pienso que era mejor hablar en español, pero dejé de tomar clases cuando terminé la clase de improvisaciones en español
Tomaba clases
ohhh
Oh, I'm the opposite lol
Bc I took classes like Spanish Improv and I practiced bc I was the go to person at community service events who could speak Spanish to little kids, my ability to speak and come up with ways to get people to understand me is good
My grammar has gone to shit
It's wild, I used to be so good at essays
Tbh debería haberlo tomado todos años cuatros pero tuvo clases otras tomar también
My word order is still funky
And I struggle with irregular past tenses
I love you now
Odio el subjuntivo
WHAT AND LYN LAPID NOW/?
Lol soy usando un ordenador con autocorrect
I WENT TO HER CONCERT EARLIER THIS YR
IT WAS AMAZING
AHHHH
pls u have such good music taste tho
JPLH CRAP
Mi computadora tenía la lengua hace dos años, pero ahora, siempra cambia a ingles
I see
Ya no recuerdo dónde están los accentos tambien
El iphone tiene una cosa que tiene un ordenador para español y inglés
Tiene los dos
Mi fluencia es suficienta para hablar, pero no es maravillos
Ah, pienso que lo tengo en my iphone tambien
También hay algunas palabras que justo no se
Idk wtf maravillos means
Lmfao like marvelous got it
Yep!
Hay una frase que todavía recuerdo ahora
Por ejemplo, de nuestras clases sobre el amor, recuerdo, "El amor con solamente pasión quema caliente, y entonces se quema."
Me necesitas copiar estas páginas?
Las copias son tres dólares señora
Esa libra está de la sección Misterio
Hola! Cómo te ayudo?
Which was a funny bit of wordplay
Yeah I’m not to the point of literature and humor
Because "quemar" is "to burn" (so "Love with only passion burns hot")
And "quemarse" is "to burn out"
(so "Love with only passion burns hot, and then burns out")
Pienso que usé tres tiempos en mis ensayos y mis examenes orales
Just “Esas libras necesitan regresar en el primo de agosto. Gracias para usando la librería! Adiós!”
“Hay una bolsa aquí si lo necesitas”
I have my stock phrases
Sí, my madre ha aprendido, "medical spanish," y solamente puede usar español para hablar con sus pacientes
Lmfao
I kinda feel that
I have a bunch of words completely useless outside of the library
Tú has aprendido español de la librería
Funciona allí porque no necesitas la lengua en otras lugares
Fair enough
Y támbien, la frase, "el/la cosa que + [verbo]" te puede salvar en muchas situaciones
My town is about 30% Hispanic but when I try to use it at school the kids laugh at me because i use Castilian Spanish
Es lo que están en los libros y muchas de la clases que están en línea
No se como dicer “copy machine” así justo dijo “la máquina que copia”
Fotocopiadora?
Goofy ahh word
Pienso que es eso, pero envia el mensaje, sí?
Yeah
No pienso que yo pueda usar toda la gramática que he aprendido cuando tenía quince años, pero funciona
Sí, pienso que solamente recuerdo las frases básicas y las frases de mi clase de improvisaciones
Probablemente porque la clase de improvisaciones era muy divertida
i'm impressed, i gave up like 10 min ago 💀
Tome mi clase cuando tuvo doce años, así no recuerdo mucho, la mayoría de que dijo es autodidacto ahora
Y las otras estudiantes hicieron muchas bromas
Taking AP spanish this yr
Tomé mis clases entre las edades de doce y dieciseis
I’m cooked for the speaking portion though
oh niceee
Honestly, once you hit the point where you can come up with full sentences, just make sure that you are pausing at natural points in the dialogue
Pausing in the middle of a sentence sounds like you forgot the grammar
I speak so incredibly slowly
Pausing at the beginning or end sounds like you are thinking about what to say to generate a thoughtful response
I’m in freshman level Spanish what is happening
That was the advice my teacher gave me anyway
I like to think that I was rather alright at Spanish bc I got straight As in the class through the honors level
i take duolingo spanish i'm just as lost as u are 💀
Thanks
But that's bc I really enjoy languages lol
You are so real
i was sad when I had to quit the class to take comp sci stuff
“Necesito levantar mis libras de el piso porque voy a caminar en los”
Or something like that
del piso*
It’s cooked asf grammar but it gets the point scrods
What are u applying to pton for
Engineering
Which engineering tho
i take french idk either 💀
CBE
I want to get my cert in Quantitative and Computational Bio from LSI though
Bc I want to get my MdPhD and get the PhD in genomics
That’s sick
