[warm panther]

generational fumble

[old turtle]

this whole thread is tweaking/cope

[stoic girder]

Whats done is done. Time to forget about it.

[warm panther]

@inland bane intl?

[inland bane]

Give me ur mindset pls

[white marten]

My rejection will be a catastrophic loss for Princeton

[humble stream]

ive just put my mind to other things but if i think about it too long i start tweaking a little

[inland bane]

No I'm in NY

[humble stream]

so i just distract myself

[warm panther]

bro dont worry ive been a bitch pussy to say the least in this chat for the past week

[jolly wasp]

which song did you guys wrote your soundtrack essay about

[warm panther]

tweaking over the grade requesdts and stuff

im no better than anyone here

[jolly wasp]

just curious about it

[stoic girder]

I cant even start writing my RD Essays for some schools because if my friends get accepted ED its useless to even apply

[warm panther]

it was my msot played spotify song lmao

[inland bane]

I cannot focus on RD rn at all

[white marten]

Hummel’s trumpet concerto 🔥 🗣️

[stoic girder]

how many essays r left?

[inland bane]

Too many 😅

[humble stream]

channel your panic into rd 💯

[rare basalt]

quizás quizás quizás celia cruz

[humble stream]

build yourself that safety net and hopefully you wont have to use it

[jolly wasp]

I wrote mine about charlixcx everything is romantic💀

[warm panther]

lowk hope this wasnt basic lmfao

[humble stream]

but if you do at least you spent a long time making sure it was a good safety net

[warm panther]

like its true but still

[humble stream]

goated taste

[inland bane]

I'll write all my essays with prinecton slander if I don't get in

[rare basalt]

thats fire

[jolly wasp]

my second choice was good luck babe

[humble stream]

i wrote about wanting to be ambidextrous 💀

[white marten]

Note taking, I suck ass at it

[inland bane]

I did plein air painting

[jolly wasp]

but now thinking about it ı should probably wrote about sympathy is a knife

but whatever

[white marten]

What did you write for your brings you joy

[inland bane]

And Vienna for my song which is so basic but whatever

[white marten]

I wrote about NASCAR

[warm panther]

mine was lowkey weird

[humble stream]

low resolution animal videos

[warm panther]

like i think it might have acc gotten merehecrted

[white marten]

Lmao

[jolly wasp]

reading and analysing ancient coins

[warm panther]

cause it made my app seem polished like im not a real person

[humble stream]

woah this is cool

[inland bane]

Hi fellow rural princeton rea 😭

[white marten]

Ah you’re from upstate NY?

[inland bane]

Yes

10 people in my entire grade lmfao

[white marten]

Rural kids have it so insanely hard bro

[white marten]

DAYUMMMM

Private school?

[warm panther]

80 here

[white marten]

My school has 75 at least

[inland bane]

You would think,but no

It's public lol

[white marten]

My school is considered Rural Fringe by the Feds

[jolly wasp]

my grade has 19

10 is crazy

[south harbor]

19 rea?

[inland bane]

Damn are we all rural LOL

[white marten]

Well you guys go to small prestigious international schools

Rebeg and I are built different

[jolly wasp]

no class size

[south harbor]

Oh

Shi

[inland bane]

Ohhh

[warm panther]

tolga said they self studied 4 aps and didnt mention ib

[warm panther]

its not this

[white marten]

My school has 1 T20 applicant this year

[serene tinsel]

wtf

[warm panther]

small prestigious intl schools offer advanced international cirriculum courses

[inland bane]

I'm chilling here with a school with 0 clubs, 0 honors, 0 aps

All we got is dual enrollment haha

[warm panther]

btw

[white marten]

0 APs 3 honors and like 4 dual enrollment gang

[warm panther]

all this

"ur considered in context" is BS

like acc

[jolly wasp]

mine is actually kinda prestigious but quality is getting worse

[warm panther]

16 aps is 16 aps

[white marten]

Bruh no it’s not

[inland bane]

I hope not cause then im screwed lmao

[white marten]

That’s not how that works

If you can’t take APs it isn’t held against you

[inland bane]

That would screw over every rural applicant

[white marten]

That’s illegal discrimination

[serene tinsel]

0 APs 💀

[humble stream]

taking 16 aps from your high school is not equivalent to self studying 16 aps and driving far to take an ap exam because your school doesnt offer it

[warm panther]

wait i think i approached this idea from the wrong way

in my country

my region

where youre LOADED with cash

you better not complain about not taking APs

cause you couldve self studied and sign up on ur own

[inland bane]

I self studied calc bc but that's it

[serene tinsel]

damn this guy's a fiend

[warm panther]

just cause your school didnt offer it doesnt mean you didnt have the gdp of moldova in ur back pocket and couldve taken the test on ur own with tutors

[inland bane]

It's different when u have to do it on ur own and don't have a teacher and class for it

[jolly wasp]

yeah preparing for them with teachers and an actual curriculum is not the same with working on them when you have loads of work and assignment to do yourself

[jolly wasp]

ı couldnt afford tutors

[warm panther]

100% except when you have the gdp of moldova in ur back pocket 💯

[warm panther]

im talking about my country /region

ofc you guys r considered in context

[inland bane]

Lmao let me just buy a whole ass school for myself 😂

[humble stream]

yeah idk if id have the discipline to self study so i have respect for everyone that is able to

[warm panther]

you dont understand

you actually could

some people i go to school with could

[inland bane]

Ik ik

[inland bane]

That's crazy

[jolly wasp]

ı actually didnt have it in my junior year I prepared for calc bc in 2 days and macro in like 1 day💀

both 4s

[inland bane]

Nah, khan academy for life

[serene tinsel]

SHW is just khan but w/ live tutors

[humble stream]

im ngl thats still impressive i have a B in calc bc rn and my school actually offers the class so 😭

[inland bane]

It's hell 💀

[jolly wasp]

my sophomore aps are 5s though

[white marten]

I would have had to drive four hours round trip to test + I didn’t have time for self study

[serene tinsel]

i did pretty good in BC cuz i did AB the year before

[humble stream]

which other ones did u self study?

[warm panther]

this is whats crazy btw

[serene tinsel]

i wasnt insanely sweaty

[jolly wasp]

not prepared them in the last day(ı prepared for one week)

[warm panther]

i hate living here

in oil countries

[jolly wasp]

micro and stat

[humble stream]

nicee

[inland bane]

Yeah me and u kind have different rural, cause I can drive a hour and be at a giant school

[warm panther]

people here complain about not doing their homework because the maid didnt pack it for them

Kids in the US and other parts of the world didnt do their homework cause theyre working 2 jobs to supoprt their family

[white marten]

Me too we just have shitass education out here

[warm panther]

i absolutely hate the culture here

[inland bane]

Oh haha

[old turtle]

wtaf

[white marten]

Context is king

[near citrus]

Sing about me I’m dying of thirst by Kendrick Lamar

[warm panther]

oil country

im not from there thogh

thankfully

[white marten]

My context makes me look like St. Peter at the pearly gates bro

[inland bane]

I'm using this next time I forgot my homework LOL

My butler was slacking today

[warm panther]

and bro fdont even get me syarted

the reason

[jolly wasp]

I put farming as an ec because actually it took a huge load of my time

[warm panther]

im so paranoid for rea

is because this is my only chance to actually truly shine without my efforts being watered down

[gilded bear]

bro my butler actually sucks 😭

[warm panther]

kids here SPAWN ECs

snap your fingers

and an EC is trhere

[gilded bear]

i asked him to write my essays and he said no

[warm panther]

i literally SAW IT LIVE

[inland bane]

Samee I took care of animals

[jolly wasp]

oh amazing

[warm panther]

research papers, drop a solid 10k and itll get done at A REAL UNI. not via lumiere or whatever

[serene tinsel]

bruh and the amount of "research" here is insane

[warm panther]

essays? drop a solid 50K

[jolly wasp]

I actually wrote my commonapp essay about one of the trees I took care for years

[inland bane]

Lame ass butler

[serene tinsel]

drop that bank!

[jolly wasp]

seeing it growing etc

[gilded bear]

ikr

[inland bane]

That's so cool

[gilded bear]

at least he types my messages

[humble stream]

skill issue, my butler wrote all of mine and also took my sat

[inland bane]

I wrote about my goose

[gilded bear]

because typing on keyboard takes too much effort

(hes typing rn)

[warm panther]

this is the hamartia of all of the oil kids though

the kyrptonite

[inland bane]

Does he feed you grapes

[warm panther]

u can fake evrything but not standardized testing

[serene tinsel]

i know ur lounging back in the velvet chair with a glass of wine telling him to do this r/now

[inland bane]

Mine does

[gilded bear]

yes but he takes forever to peel them

[humble stream]

varsity blues scandal did it lol

[gilded bear]

glass of grape juice* but yes

[humble stream]

probs different in that region of the world though lol

[serene tinsel]

grape juice***** mb

[jolly wasp]

dont you know about all ap and ib leaks last year

[warm panther]

99.9999% chance youre not getting recruited here

[inland bane]

Ugh im so so sorry for you 😔

[serene tinsel]

bro it was on chinese tiktok or smt

[warm panther]

ap is NO WHERE NEAR IB

IB got cooked

[serene tinsel]

i saw it the afternoon after i took the tests

[warm panther]

ib has to lock up their exams in safes

[gilded bear]

he had the GALL to ask me if he could feed them to me unpeeled

[warm panther]

ib has to have their students stay for the entire mornign of their timezone w/o phones to prevent cheating

[jolly wasp]

agree

[serene tinsel]

the nerve@

[jolly wasp]

people cheated anyway

[warm panther]

you think this is funny but this is how most people here act

no joke

[jolly wasp]

ı think collegeboard and IB are too relaxed about all these exams

[warm panther]

they have drivers here and theyre treated like dog shit

[jolly wasp]

they should do more to prevent cheating but they just dont

[warm panther]

maids and nannies also treated horribly

[gilded bear]

😭

[warm panther]

all ap exams online locked broswer this year

[sonic dome]

two girls in my class straight up walked out together during my ap csp exam and were gone for like 20 min were 99% sure they cheated 😭

[white marten]

Hopefully the AOs can tell that I’m a self made man

[jolly wasp]

yeah but they can do a safe paper based exam too they just dont want to spend the money needed

[warm panther]

apply.princeton insta admin thinks theyre funny

[jolly wasp]

how can they walk out during the exam?

[inland bane]

We got this 💪

[sonic dome]

one asked to go to the bathroom and the other followed suit a few min later

[fierce lodge]

this chat is popping damn

[white marten]

Hey rural Idaho is not a place that commonly sends people to Princeton I got that geo advantage

[sonic dome]

ikrrr it's been so active in the past few days

[jolly wasp]

I think superscore is bs too btw not just cheating they should only accept single takes

[humble stream]

i like your pfp

[fierce lodge]

pton not for me but good luck baddies

[fierce lodge]

ty

i like urs

[sonic dome]

thanks 🙏 gl with ur apps too!!

[warm panther]

FUUUCKKKK NOOOOOO

[humble stream]

thanks

[warm panther]

IM FINISHED

superscore is keeping me alive

[white marten]

Pton is built for me niche calls it a “perfect match”

[warm panther]

740 RW 790M is all they need to see

[humble stream]

i disagree with this one tbh

[white marten]

My interviewer said Princeton is “for me”

I only have 750M but that’s fine

Context

[inland bane]

I got this exact score lol

[jolly wasp]

exams are different why theyre accepting superscores sometimes english section is harder sometimes math

[humble stream]

it would prob incentivize people to take it over and over again and be an increased financial burden

[jolly wasp]

I think they do the superscore thing to make people take the exam more times

[inland bane]

My interview was so awkward, was urs online too?

[warm panther]

yo imma keep it a buck

i took the sat

5 TIMES

[old turtle]

Alternatively, you could have a one-track sort of mind and do well on one section but not the other

[warm panther]

lowk all the same

[warm panther]

💯

what i did

i studied reading

got 740

total score 1470

studied math

790

total score 1480

my raw is ass

but superscore is peak

that was my start

strat

[humble stream]

i mean at the end of the day you still did well on both sections so i feel like superscore is kinda helpful

[old turtle]

I superscored a 1590 from 700M/800V and 790M/700V

[jolly wasp]

oh you really took the advantage of it 50 points is crazy

[warm panther]

my goat went through what i went rhough

[humble stream]

if the correlation in that dartmouth study is still showing the gpa and sat correlation i think superscore is valid

[jolly wasp]

my first take was 680/800 second was 710/800

[white marten]

Yeah, but mine was fantastic

[jolly wasp]

so ı couldnt use superscore

maybe ım just jealous about it

idk

[humble stream]

hey nice math score though

[white marten]

I ran out of time on the math section or else I would’ve scored higher

[inland bane]

I'm a spaz, but I think I did well enough 😂

[white marten]

I got 8/8 on every score report subsection

[jolly wasp]

I had 20 smth mins left on first section and appx 15 mins left on the second section

in math

Rw 2nd module was crazy though

[warm panther]

superscore is my bae

FUCK schools that dotn superscore

[jolly wasp]

I had crazy time issues

[warm panther]

hope their endowment is low asf

[humble stream]

which schools dont superscore?

[jolly wasp]

There was a question about starfishs or seashells ı cant remember

[inland bane]

That shit had my brain fried

[jolly wasp]

in 2nd module

october exam

[warm panther]

texas schools

[old turtle]

if I took the SAT now, I'd probably shit the bed lol

[jolly wasp]

it was crazy

[warm panther]

UIUC

[humble stream]

you should take a practice dsat for funsies

[humble stream]

damn didnt know that

[warm panther]

okay guys i gotta go study for psychology

[humble stream]

good luck

[warm panther]

nice talking to you guys

[jolly wasp]

yeah after the module ı was like fuck math ı can superscore anyway

[warm panther]

will be back probably before decisions come out cause i gotta lock in

[jolly wasp]

1510 is the highest score in my school so ı hope princeton considers that

avg is like 1450

[humble stream]

my school is so sweaty over sat only bc this one guy in my grade retook a 1580 for a 1590 😭

[jolly wasp]

thats crazy

[white marten]

906 over here

[jolly wasp]

I think 1500+ is fine anyway but I can understand 1510s 1520s retaking it

but 1580💀

[humble stream]

i understand if they have a lot of time and nothing better to do but 1580 is just insane

and i know a 1570 that retook for a 1580

[white marten]

Im gonna level with you intl peeps

The admissions season is gonna suck for you guys

[jolly wasp]

they can just prepare their apps and ace them

[jolly wasp]

stawpp

[white marten]

You all go to highly opportunistic small schools with very high average test scores and standards

[humble stream]

yeah or do something that improves their community lol idk it just seems pointless idk if those ten points are worth it 💀

[old turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/yoshi-mario-yoshis-island-super-smash-brother-super-smash-brother-n64-gif-21681448

[white marten]

Granted, it’s gonna suck for all of us

But intls especially

[jolly wasp]

itll end this thursday ıll commit to princeton💞💞

[white marten]

I feel for you guys

[white marten]

Me too 💞

They have to accept someone from Idaho it’s hella sus if they don’t

Might as well be me

[old turtle]

I admire your resilience

[white marten]

In what way lol

[jolly wasp]

our gpa avg is 97 smth out of 100

[white marten]

Im gonna crumble when I read my decision

[jolly wasp]

but glad we dont do class ranks

I'd be cooked

[white marten]

Median gpa is 2.7/4.0 here

Im the only student with a cumulative 4.0

I feel like I didn’t get the chance to adequately explain the limitations of my school in my app

Whereas for other schools I could

I think that will be the downfall of my application

[old turtle]

I really want to joker clap this (sorry)

[white marten]

Nah that’s fair

[jolly wasp]

our counselor used the school profile section amazingly for this

hope theyll read it

[near citrus]

Don’t you send a school report ?

[jolly wasp]

but prob not

[white marten]

I don’t know what is on the school report

Do they report what the highest level math clsss offered is?

[near citrus]

About your school and what they offer

[humble stream]

usually they do i think

[south harbor]

Idt they would know

I mean

[humble stream]

they could see past applications from the same school so that would give them some comparison but idk if they could compare it to others in your grade unless they all applied rea to princeton

[south harbor]

Ye

[white marten]

There are no past applications

[humble stream]

im talking about tolga

[white marten]

Ah I see

[humble stream]

shouldve specified mb

[white marten]

We’ll see what happens

[humble stream]

but in your case the lack of applications also shows them a lot lol

[white marten]

Im just extremely wary of institutions in general because they consistently fail rural America

[jolly wasp]

we provided the score range in school profile, also my counselor said she specified it in her rec

[south harbor]

That makes sense

[white marten]

Idk what my counselor said in my rec

I am very detached from my school because it continues to fail and limit me

[old turtle]

I'm trying to do science outreach at a local high school. pretty sure they're behind as well

[white marten]

A lot of my app is focused on overcoming stem barriers and then turning around and helping others do so as well

[old turtle]

what are the type of things that would help someone like you?

[white marten]

A lot of the things aren’t just feasible

Classes

I think cultivating a drive for stem in younger kids is the best approach

Because it creates demand for those upper level math and science classes

[elfin sedge]

Does anyone else’s common app say that Princeton redownloaded their school report?

[white marten]

I do a lot of robotics presentations and coaching and mentoring

[old turtle]

I think I can provide exposure to research and ... science in general?

[white marten]

Actually college preparation would be phenomenal

[old turtle]

I can't like, teach courses

[white marten]

Like, writing workshops or math workshops

Not classes but exposure to those topics

[jolly wasp]

no, how can you see that

[white marten]

Although some places the hatred for learning is just so ingrained that you literally have to rebuild it from scratch

Like here

[old turtle]

writing workshops I can do. I can reasonbly easily do high school math. The sweaty kids here are beyond my understanding of math. But my wife looks at hs math education as a travesty. She's much better at math than I am

[jolly wasp]

I can only see that they downloaded my actual application on nov 2

[elfin sedge]

Under school report it says: downloaded 12/04

[old turtle]

her idea of fun on the weekend is functional analysis

[white marten]

Your wife is 100000% coeeect

The highest math class at my school is Precalc

And five people are taking it this year

[old turtle]

plug and chug isn't teaching math. But most math teachers can't teach mathematical thinking and intuition

[white marten]

I don’t know where I got my drive to learn from

https://tenor.com/view/animation-disney-movies-the-emperors-new-groove-kronk-gif-14836333

[old turtle]

something like Jensen's inequality is a mathematical concept to recognize and apply, not rote memorize

[jolly wasp]

no they only downloaded my optional report(q1 grades) on 12/07 all others are 11/02

[white marten]

Based on how bad the education is in my area I should not be here at all

[old turtle]

why are you there? Parents jobs?

I mean, that's really the primary reason

[white marten]

I mean like here in this thread

[elfin sedge]

Oh I didn’t send an optional report

I’m not sure if my guidance counselor updated it or something

[white marten]

But to answer this question im sixth generation and there has been no incentive to leave

[jolly wasp]

your counselor should send it

when available

[elfin sedge]

Oh really

I thought it’s only if they request it

[old turtle]

I get it. My dad was 10th generation farmer and all my relatives on that side are basically international level hillbillies

[jolly wasp]

actually yeah its not a necessity but they say upload it if you can

[elfin sedge]

It’s weird that they redownloaded my school report

Because as far as I know my guidance counselor didn’t change it

[humble stream]

weird but could always be a system mistake and they needed to download it again i wouldnt overthink it

[white marten]

Yep we’re a founding ranching family in the area so that’s all I’ve really ever known. I must’ve somehow independently became a super driven and inspired person

[elfin sedge]

Yeah you’re right

[warm panther]

poor and false generalization

[elfin sedge]

I was just wondering if other ppl have it

[warm panther]

differs by region

[jolly wasp]

but why would they look at her school report 1 week before decision release

like what could it actually change

[white marten]

What’s your schools sat average

[humble stream]

i checked and i dont for whatever thats worth

[warm panther]

1100

still better than "average" but not insane

[white marten]

I see

[warm panther]

and i attend a us department of state recognized school

[white marten]

How many APs

[warm panther]

offered or ive taken?

[white marten]

Offered

[jolly wasp]

my schools range is 1400-1510💀

[elfin sedge]

Yeah that’s what I’m wondering

[warm panther]

roughly 27 and we have IB as well

[jolly wasp]

math range is 760-800

[warm panther]

i've taken the second most aps in my schools history

[white marten]

Ah that’s the ticket

[warm panther]

no one takes advantage of it

[white marten]

But it exists

It doesn’t exist for me

[warm panther]

only 10 people in my grade of 80 have taken over 9 APs in senior year

[warm panther]

thats not my argument

[white marten]

You go to a highly opportunistic school

[warm panther]

youre saying were cooked cause we attend overly competitive schools

its not competitive here cause of the nature of the region

[white marten]

It could be competitive there

[warm panther]

uni doesnt need to decide career of oil's got you covered

if*

[elfin sedge]

Admissions are holistic so what your school offers will be taken into account

[warm panther]

better not for my region

[white marten]

God I hope I get in

It’s so unlikely but

I hope

[warm panther]

praying for you

[white marten]

I feel like on paper I stand out

[warm panther]

hope they pull a "we want a student from every state" and pick you

[white marten]

I hope I get in on merit

[warm panther]

highly unlikely as merit is the entry card

everything else is to some large extent based on institutional priorities and goals

[white marten]

Fair

That’s how 1600 USAMO ISEF Oly people get rejected

[warm panther]

my counselor once went to a conference

in switzerland

[quick mortar]

what time does it come out

[warm panther]

for elite schools

and he recalls a harvard AO saying

[elfin sedge]

7pm

[humble stream]

7pm est

[white marten]

7 pm eastern standard on Thursday

[quick mortar]

Im gonna get in

trust

[jolly wasp]

itll be an advantage but they wont be like we NEED a student from this state if no one qualifies they just wont accept anyone

[warm panther]

"we accepted too many people from kentucky, so in this year's round, we didn't bother accepting any of their applications"

[jolly wasp]

youre not a recruited athlete that'll fill a specific spot

[inland bane]

This is so fucked

[warm panther]

i wish i was making this up btw

thats just the way the cookie crumbles

[white marten]

I’m fucked

[inland bane]

I feel like after a certain point it's just luck

[warm panther]

this is possible for any of us

[white marten]

Hopefully the demographic luck falls in my favor

[warm panther]

"we have too many arabs, no need for this guy, let's look at sub-saharan africa instead"

[humble stream]

yeah college admissions certainly isnt a pure meritocracy

[warm panther]

Uk is

which i respect to an extent

[white marten]

Considering based on percentages 6-8 people from Idaho should matriculate every year and only 2 did last year I feel like I have a great shot

[jolly wasp]

I heard that princeton has been skipping turkey in rea for years so they may accept someone this year but idk just rumours

[inland bane]

I hope my ao found a 100 dollar bill on the ground before reading my application 🙏

[humble stream]

the uk system is but also doesnt allow for much exploration of broader subjects so its a win some lose some situation i guess

[warm panther]

yes

thats why it sucks ass

[crimson jackal]

I hope so for you too LOL

[warm panther]

i was considerinf applying

but when i got into tamu

i closed all the UK tabs

[fierce lodge]

someone take idaho stats away from this kid

[warm panther]

shitty ass system that doesnt care about personaltiy

[white marten]

Lmfao why

[humble stream]

yeah its def not for me 💀

[white marten]

I am an Idaho statistics wizard

[crimson jackal]

Stop obsessing over them I think you’ll be okay

No need to stress yourself out

You’re an incredible applicant

[warm panther]

no it wont be okay

[white marten]

Im not stressed about that

[warm panther]

well feel some emotions

[humble stream]

also congrats

[warm panther]

but then we move on

[warm panther]

thank you

60K tuition 🤮🤢

[crimson jackal]

Sorry Idaho it kindaaa seemed like you were

[warm panther]

im cooookeeed

[jolly wasp]

are u sure

[warm panther]

yo CAN WE TALK

ABOUT HOW

FUCKED

[white marten]

Thursday is gonna be rough for me and I probably won’t understand my decision (none of us will) but that’s just the way things fall

[warm panther]

UT'S TUITION IS

[white marten]

Yeah

[warm panther]

75K USD OOS?!??!?1

[crimson jackal]

Oh

[warm panther]

UMICH

80K OOS???!!

[crimson jackal]

That’s assss

[warm panther]

THE FUCCCKKK??????????

[white marten]

That’s low compared to many OOS top schools

[crimson jackal]

I’ll just go to Boulder 😋

I think I have a full ride

[warm panther]

cali is outlier

[inland bane]

I'm gonna become a princeton hater to cope with my rejection 💪💪💪

[warm panther]

those are the two most exepnsiev iooos schools i beleieve

[inland bane]

Fuck new jersey

[crimson jackal]

WOAH you haven’t been rejected yet

[white marten]

Im going to respect Princeton’s decision even if I disagree and don’t understand it

[crimson jackal]

LOL

[warm panther]

nah

[jolly wasp]

blocking all princeton related accounts at 7.01 pm

hopefully not

[warm panther]

they wouldve genertaiional fumbled the next

[inland bane]

AINT NOBODY WANTS TO LIVE IN NJ

[warm panther]

idaho

star

[white marten]

Oh I agree

[quick mortar]

i have legacy so if i dont get in 😭

[inland bane]

Execpt me when I get accepted

[white marten]

Rejecting me is a generational fumble

[warm panther]

#humblebrag

nah im playing

[white marten]

Loads of legacies get rejected

If they accepted all legacies they’d have a huge class of like 5000

[jolly wasp]

I think legacy acceptance rate will decrease drastically in ivies this year

[warm panther]

💯

cause lowkey

my kid should be as smart or better than me to get in

otherwise they dont deserve it

i shouldnt be carrying bro to the finish line

like lock in

[inland bane]

Js curious, what's ur intended major?

[crimson jackal]

I also feel like legacies are influenced by their parents who are from ivies to do good and I think there is a correlation

[jolly wasp]

yeah its totally normal that their acceptance rate is higher than the actual poll of applicants

[crimson jackal]

Yeah I agree!

[jolly wasp]

but it shouldnt be 30% or smth

[crimson jackal]

I guess yeah that makes sense

You’re right about that

[jolly wasp]

thats too much ı think they can just find a balance by not even considering it

[crimson jackal]

Yeah fs there still would be a lot of legacies

Lowkey I don’t know if I would look good in orange

I’m really scared

Freaking

[old turtle]

Didn't I tell you (or someone) to check out what the Princeton Band looks like?

[crimson jackal]

No?

[jolly wasp]

princeton and harvards colors best suits me ı think

esp harvards

[crimson jackal]

Do they all look like Cheetos?

[old turtle]

tweed

[crimson jackal]

Like k feel the cylindrical hat

Would kinda add to that vibe

[old turtle]

I mean, Penn has the styrofoam hat thing

[crimson jackal]

??

[crimson jackal]

I found the one guy that can pull off orange

[jolly wasp]

orange combined with black actually

[crimson jackal]

Oh so not straight up orange

[jolly wasp]

straight up orange would look good too but idk

[crimson jackal]

You know I think @humble stream would lowk pull it off

[jolly wasp]

harvards color is just goated

[crimson jackal]

That’s true

[old turtle]

why'd you apply if you don't like the colors? 😜

[crimson jackal]

…you’re right I’m gonna withdraw

Thanks for letting me see the light

Qhasti my life saver

[jolly wasp]

I actually have a fully orange hoodie maybe ı can wear it while opening my decision(cant afford original princeton merch)

in our overseas office we have a little princeton flag maybe ı should just stick it to my chest or smth

[crimson jackal]

LOL WAIT

THAT WOULD BE FUNNY

CAN YOU SEND A PIC IF YOU DO IT

LOL

[jolly wasp]

Yeah sure kkkkkkfkf

I'll probably rip it off in a defer/reject scenario though

[crimson jackal]

BUT THATLL BE DRAMATIC

[jolly wasp]

[jolly wasp]

[crimson jackal]

OKAY

NOT CRAZY

DID YOU SEE HIS HIKING POCTURE

GAH DAMM

[jolly wasp]

[crimson jackal]

HELO HELP LAOLALLAAHAHAHHAHA

@old turtle I

[jolly wasp]

All of my twitter feed is his pics rn

[old turtle]

yeah, I saw the pictures, hawaii etc.

[crimson jackal]

AYEAH

[old turtle]

he's from my area

[crimson jackal]

OMGSHATTT

[fierce lodge]

md rise up

idk why im lurking in here

[crimson jackal]

HELLOOOOOOPPO

[jolly wasp]

saw this on twitter lmaooo

KDKDKDKDKKDKDKDKDKDKD

[crimson jackal]

TOLGA

[trim latch]

Y'all, don't hit on murderers PLEASE (if only bc they are likely to do 25+ years in jail)

[crimson jackal]

I’m lowk conflicted on what he did

You shouldn’t kill anyone for any reason

That’s just so wrong

But he is fineeee

[jolly wasp]

agree

[trim latch]

I mean, the insurance guy was a shitbag (my dad works in life insurance, so he had a whole bunch of insider info bc we're near the city and he was only a few blocks away when it happened)

BUT I don't think anyone has the right to make themself judge, jury, and executioner

[crimson jackal]

Well yeah that’s why people were celebrating the assassin so on one side I get it

[crimson jackal]

YEAHHH

THAT

THAT

[old turtle]

naturally. Butt insurance

[vague heron]

he’s so fine

[trim latch]

Esp bc this guy was due to go in front of a jury for insider trading in a couple of weeks

[crimson jackal]

HELP

[trim latch]

And was prob about to take a plea deal which would expose a whole bunch of other corruption in the industry that would have been nice to actually have exposed

[crimson jackal]

Damn

So it was dumb of him

The Penn guy

[trim latch]

A bit

I mean, he might not have wanted the CEO to get off at all

• he did it for personal reasons, not some high handed moral justification

[jolly wasp]

ceo was from upenn too ı think

[trim latch]

I've been getting texts all day from my penn friends

Bc I know ppl in the freshman-junior class, and it's a bit crazy

[old turtle]

wasn't he fairly recent? like graduated a couple years ago?

[warm panther]

2020

bro what a wasted life

dude decided to play god and fight the system unethically

two wrongs dont make a right

this guy went to penn too

[old turtle]

honestly, I had hoped that he'd get away

[warm panther]

i dont

while the UHC is a douche bag

[crimson jackal]

McDonald’s employee probably turned him in LOL

[warm panther]

no one should be allowed to play God in any scenario

im a firm believer that if you kill you deserve the death penalty

[vague heron]

nah

he deserves to be free

and death penalty shouldn’t exist

cause then isn’t the government playing god

[warm panther]

he set an example to other younger people who are angry with our world to instead of fighting it ethically

fight it immorally

[vague heron]

well if that’s the only way they will listen

[sonic dome]

sorry i'm absolutely busting into the conversation but my friend has his discord it's hilarious 💀

[warm panther]

vietnam college protests fixed up the war and had the US pull out

[vague heron]

i mean all these huge insurance companies have taken their staff off their websites

[warm panther]

nobody went and killed the president then BECAuse ofit

[vague heron]

and have amended their policies

[heavy breach]

i had an ETA member added on discord for a bit so i get it ngl

[warm panther]

thats good

but im guessing that man

had a wife

and kids

what did they do?

[vague heron]

yeah

and the people who’s claims he denied also had families

[warm panther]

they don't deserve to grow up w/o a father

[warm panther]

you don't fight evil with evil

[vague heron]

i’m not saying it was right but the message was very well received

[warm panther]

i agree with this

but the killer should face consequences

you cant just get away with killing someone

[tough juniper]

Ik we allow convos in these threads but at least keep them semi relevant to the schools

[trim latch]

Yep

He was 26

[crimson jackal]

Wow

I feel… he shouldn’t have done that

He had so much of his life ahead of him

[trim latch]

I mean, it's kind of like, if you go to a school like Princeton or Penn, you have a modicum more of power to fight the systems

If you think they are so terrible, then make a change

Anyway, I feel like I need someone to sedate me until Thursday

[old turtle]

twenty twenty twenty twenty four hours agoo o o o

[south harbor]

Lwk reminds me of harvard unabomber😂

[trim latch]

Decisions come out in 72 hours and 24 minutes (whose counting, not me?)

[old turtle]

there's also the ah... menendez brothers

[tough juniper]

I made y’all a #🤖-bot-commands

[trim latch]

Thanks!!

[old turtle]

[sonic dome]

LUCKYYY

[twin adder]

rea is the big deferral day

LMFAO

[humble stream]

yeah im feeling a deferral

i lowkey might skip friday too though its a light class day for me

[twin adder]

deferral is tuff

[crimson jackal]

I would rather get rejected than a deferral ngl

I don’t wanna be slow rejected

[twin adder]

omg im like so cooked mentally

trying to read this book for a final paper

i read so slow

brain powered down

constantly running out of battery

no thoguhts

[humble stream]

really? i feel like i would prefer a deferral and waitlists in rd rather than a hard reject

[crimson jackal]

I feel like that would give me so much false hope

[twin adder]

its just like a toxic relationship

if ur partner is like

[humble stream]

i mean i would know its unrealistic id just interpret it as a more polite rejection

[twin adder]

idk i need 4 months to decide if i wanna be with you

[humble stream]

like a no way vs a sorry but probably not

[crimson jackal]

HAHAHHA

[twin adder]

i cant tell you rn

idk how i feel

and then they reject your ass

[humble stream]

i have a friend that got waitlisted from wake forest and she says even if she gets off the waitlist shes not gonna go 💀

[green finch]

Bro someone from my school got in with a 31 on the ACT

And like a 3.6 UW

0 clue how

[humble stream]

i mean this girl wasnt really valedictorian or anything

actually her dream school used to be princeton lol

[trim latch]

I feel like idk how I could make my app better

Without using a time machine and maybe getting into a lab before my junior year?

But like

[crimson jackal]

Win a Nobel prize

Right now

[trim latch]

Then I would have to get actual lab experience after my freshman summer

And I was NOT thinking of it then

I didn't even know I wanted to go biomed

[humble stream]

thats so insanely early to get lab experience tbh i doubt they would reject you because you only started doing research in junior year 😭

[trim latch]

Maybe finish my Girl Scout Gold Award earlier so I could include it as completely finished?

But I didn't even get the idea for it until almost the end of last year

I feel like I have to learn to be content with this app

[crimson jackal]

You’ll be fineee girl

Not like you can do anything

[trim latch]

Bc I could not tell you a way to improve it

[crimson jackal]

All we can do is wait

[trim latch]

Real lol

[west hound]

does anyone know abt how they review music supps

[humble stream]

thats just how it happens with selective colleges, you can give literally ur all and get rejected lol

[old turtle]

Nothing is perfect, it's just whatever it is when you submit. Goes for applications, homework and work in general

[twin adder]

LOL

true

[twin adder]

😭

yalls generation is cooked

back in my day we were normal

jk

but it feels more unhinged now

[humble stream]

youre not that old cmon now 😭

[twin adder]

LMFAOAOOA

OKAY 2029R

[trim latch]

You are two years older than us??

[humble stream]

bro is NOT an unc

qhasti is

(jokes)

[twin adder]

i feel like ive been through a lot....

im 19!!!

almost to the geriatric 20s

[humble stream]

thats when you start deteriorating fr

[trim latch]

Dude, my sister is almost 30

[twin adder]

i forget my age sometimes

[trim latch]

That really doesn't work

[twin adder]

life isnt real

i still wanna say 17 sometimes

[humble stream]

the other day i accidentally wrote that it was 2021

[twin adder]

it stil feels like 2020 to me

i actually crash out over the year so often

like where did my 5 years go

my effervescent youth

[humble stream]

bro is fr going through it 😭🙏

[twin adder]

all i did was become a resume grind kid and start college

😭

me when princeton didnt solve all my problems (shocking)

[twin adder]

the year makes me aghast

i still feel stuck in senior year when i committed to princeton

and the whole world was ahead

now im just a chill guy........

[crimson jackal]

I wish I could send media

[humble stream]

i wish i had patience

[crimson jackal]

I wish I had a lambo

[humble stream]

what color would your lambo be

[crimson jackal]

Orange

[humble stream]

for princeton?

[twin adder]

LFGGG

orange is unironically my favorite color

[humble stream]

bro picked the right school fr then

[trim latch]

I guess you must love Reunions

You give off the vibes that you would drive one of the golf carts to get people places pre P-rade

[crimson jackal]

I want a golf cart

It’s been my dream to have one

I can imagine myself

Driving into the sunset

In mh golf cart

I guess the lambo will have to do 🙄🙄🙄

[twin adder]

i wasnt there for reunions

wanted to see my friend in florida before my internship this summer

so didnt have time to just stay on campus

chat i have 400 words so far

minimum is 2250

not bad?😭

getting there

[humble stream]

400 is better than 0 💯

[twin adder]

442 now

chugging along

my head hurts so bad

i shouldve just not gone to college dawg

i want to be a barista at a small cafe in boston

💔

[old turtle]

Hey. Hey! I represent that comment!

[sonic dome]

REAL

sometimes i dream about like. working at a cute little bakery or smth

no tests no essays no psets 🤩

[twin adder]

why do we have to write essays about books

like

the author said it all

wtf am i supposed to say

[old turtle]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/5CHSL3nJ4WRNXdv7A?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

I feel like this place was created by a college graduate who was like, "screw finance, I want to make pretty pastries and sell them "

[twin adder]

😭

CHAT I CRACKED 500 WORDS

this writing shit easy asf....

that gave me such a surge of a god complex

i put my phone in my room and am in a differnet residential college common room rn

not letting myself sleep til this shit is submitted

[old turtle]

So... Rocky to Mathey?

[twin adder]

or return to my phone

[twin adder]

ha ... no im all the way back in ncw

in the depths of the modernized architecture

[white marten]

Music peaked in 1994 there’s no argument

[old turtle]

Dang, old Julian street is no more

[white marten]

1991-1996 is the best era of music

Height of Nirvana, Biggie, Tupac, Weezer, No Doubt, Sublime

[old turtle]

Dude, a friend of mine met Dave Matthews at a party. He didn't know who Dave Matthews is 😭

He told Dave Matthews that he has a great voice for radio 😅

[white marten]

Bruh 💀

Dave Matthews fits in that period as well

As well as Tom Petty’s resurgence

[old turtle]

It's like good music before electronica rotted everything

And auto tune

[white marten]

Yeah

I like to imagine that if electronic music and auto tune never showed up that music would somehow be EVEN better rn

[humble stream]

im inclined to disagree

electronic music and autotune can be used stylistically in their own artistic ways

its definitely an acquired taste though

[white marten]

When it’s done tastefully yeah

Like Aviicii

But it’s in EVERYTHING now

We have no real singers anymore and if we do they STILL auto tune them

Like Ariana Grande does NOT need autotune let the woman sing 😭

[humble stream]

im not a fan of when autotune is used as a replacement for traditional singing but for music like charli xcx or sophie or 100 gecs where theyre intentionally using autotune as a tool to push the envelope of pop music id say its pretty interesting

[old turtle]

Auto tune removes skill. That's why NPR tiny desks are so good

[white marten]

Art is far more appreciable when there’s skill involved in my opinion

[old turtle]

T-Pain without auto tune is a master

There's a Japanese version of the live thing called first take

Broadway singers are goated

[white marten]

I listen to these two old guys rap on Twitter and it’s perfect because it’s self made so there isn’t any weird stuff

[old turtle]

Oh, @white marten I forgot to ask. If I want to do science outreach, what are the possible roadblocks that I might face? Because I don't know how... Welcoming teachers might be

[white marten]

Teachers will definitely be welcoming it’s connecting to the students that’s WAY harder

[old turtle]

Dagnabit. Ya keep changin your name

[white marten]

You have to get good at reading a room and quickly adapting how you approach a workshop/presentation to fit the mood of the students or else absolutely nothing will get across

[twin adder]

750 words LFGGGGG

[old turtle]

Cool. If I crash and burn I can tell you all about it

[twin adder]

im like 1/3 done

god bless

i just wrote more than an entire commonapp

get better kids

[twin adder]

im writing about God actually

essay is about The Brothers Karamazov

and The Grand Inquisitor

[old turtle]

Oi

[twin adder]

actually god is not on my side

the grand inquisitor hates jesus

[sinful veldt]

what is this mediocre school? never heard of it before

[twin adder]

its ok i know not everyone has time to look into all their reaches

stick to more realistic options

[old turtle]

It's a small, insignificant school in the middle of jersey. Be gone, devil

[sinful veldt]

reach never heard of that

[trim latch]

That's what my mom and her friends tell people when they ask lol

[old turtle]

Dang. You are a cold spare

[sinful veldt]

gottem

im just joking obviously

anyway

how do u like princeton mr small

[old turtle]

I been using that line for years whenever I don't want to say Princeton. I've been told it's worse when I avoid saying it though

[trim latch]

My sister uses it whenever she doesn't want to tell dates that she went to an Ivy League school

And then when she gets fed up, she pulls out the, "I went to Princeton b*tch"

Do you guys know that video?

[sinful veldt]

@old turtle what were ur stats

[twin adder]

oh its great

i mean the students are brilliant

i like my profs a lot

[old turtle]

For what? High school?

[twin adder]

and theres hella money for research

[trim latch]

Please tell me someone gets this reference

[sinful veldt]

yes

[twin adder]

easy to find a research advisor

easy to get money to travel and for internship housing

[sinful veldt]

nice

[sinful veldt]

wait wdym by this

wdym its easy to get money to travel? a grant?

or work pay?

[twin adder]

anything

like

you can get research grants and go places from various research institites and funders

or get money thru a student org to go places

and lots of money is available for living somewhere else over the summer etc

i got 2 research grants as a freshman and it was like chill

and started a research group and all the adminstrators were just like ok cool

😭

no one gaf you can do whatever here

[trim latch]

Can you get access to the clusters?

If you aren't affiliated w a lab

[twin adder]

[trim latch]

Computing clusters

[sinful veldt]

[twin adder]
