And dhirubhai ambani
because of need blind or whats the scene for applying?
Ok yeah that's fair
I put rubric on top
did u apply w or wo fin aid?
when does this come out
5:30 hrs
pretty sure the person can read it in whatever order they wish regardless of the order you put it in
it's probably more of a correlation
more wealth = more opportunities = better ecs/scores
!princeton
The decision date is <t:1734048000:F> in your local time
5 hours, 25 minutes and 19 seconds until the decision date
yeah
financial aid office and admissions don't talk
I know
yeah ^ it's not direct
idk if you can call it "discrimination"
@unreal citrus ehat couyntry ar eyou applying out of?
I don't believe it's actually need blind that's all
someone with more wealth would usually be a better fit because they can demonstrate their passion better i feel like
look at this
Maybe they're generous with aid but I don't think I'd qualify for it anyway
they still get ur Financial Aid details
fair
thats why they got qb
100%
where r u applying out of
GUYS
I NEED TI KNOW I CAN T BE THE ONLY
ONE
FROM M
MIDDLE EAST
it mostly holds true for internationals, for domestics it's an even playing field more or less
Somewhere in west africa
actually if i am thats better
dubai?
no
which country
also uae is viewed separetly than middle east in college apps
makes sense
For sure
All the ivy admits from my school were dirty rich

barring a few
bahrain
gg
girl from my school 2 years ago
mhm
middle eaten
im in india
got a college counsellor in her last month and paid like 25000$ to write essays, pulled NW outta her bag
north afrca
crazy
nice
Lol
yeah the viral doshi guy charges something like that
dm once don't wanna doxx myself here
i hope people who do this fail miserabily in their lives and in the thereafter
what's NW in this context?
i understand getting someone to help
northwestern ig
like to GUIDE
Fr
why
youre a cheater
but idk if the ROI is really worth it
cheater
not write, just heavily edit i mean
if that makes sense
if i write dogshit and they heavily edit it to good work thats still cheating
dont butter it up
idk she was sweet 😭
bro we all know 70% of international ivy admits are grifters with fake profiles and essays
i knew her
😭
obv
you have no idea how true this is coming from someone liek me who lives in an oil country
where everybody fakes everything
ecs
essays
schools inflate grades
I think they said "a girl paid someone 25k and got into NW". Not that they did it
im not from said country im an immigrant
yeah it's not fair at all
i know
im not targeting texter
im targeting that girl
idk
it's not the only service out there, and there's a LOT of them
seems ur hella labelling based on her parents paying for it
Fr
bro i frankly dont give a shit about the money
it could be two cents
at least be authentic in your product
lets be real no one in countries like india would be paying for "essay editing services", they straight up write your essays and ecs from scratch 💀
would you judge people who use chatGPT on their essays?
manufactured profiles and essays is the worst
its equitable
free resource
everyone has access
not at all, not that it'd work for most people
and it also cant write good essays for you
Essay reviewers are different
I don't disagree, but things are rarely truly equitable in the theoretical sense of the word
idk arguing the ethics of admission counsellors kinda stupid, this is too heavily talked abt
There are companies here that manufacture your ecs and profile and essays
From scratch
Essay reviewers suck ass i cant lie
college admissions have been super unfair for a very long time with richer people receiving external help, colleges are grinding their gears now that everyone has access to a resource
Fr wasted money
I saw my friends essay, the dude gave such shit advice'
and it wasnt like the essay was great
and spending 25000 dollars is a waste of money dude
thats someones take home pay after taxes
there's a lot of shit personal essay advice out there because to give good advice, you have to actually know the person's experience
MIT asked: How are you different from your peers
My friend said because I self study while my classmates have tutors
and the reviewer approved it LMAO
Nahh
I'm different because I'm a motherfucking rock star
yeah so what the counselors do is weave fake personas with their whole profiles having some sort of a theme, getting the kids on fake extracurriculars and stuff
and then they get interviewed
average Athena experience
Okay gonna give a new pov
he knows
on god
friends are there
dude let me also put it this way
most of my school is there 💀
LMAO
Holy
im driven by religion like i practice and i try my best
as a muslim
in islam its like a sin to waste that much money
theres a title for them in arabic
bro okay
I really hate that I went this route
But my parents actually consulted with one of these companies 2 years ago
youd probably know which one, it's pretty famous after athena
i'm honestly proud i've never received any external help for school/college stuff which is quite rare ngl
the term used for people who spend money recklessly or wastefully is "Israf" (إسراف).
Okay. Say you are balls deep rich, like throw away money rich. Im talking a big ass mansion.
Are you gonna tell me, you wont pay 25000$ for your kids admission into an Ivy?
i'm probably the only one applying to the states with aid and no external counselor
its unethical, immoral, a sin, undeserving
The entire time they kept sending me internships and opportunities which costed ranging from $1000-10000
I never did them
fuck yes im buying all the real estate in nyc
but im raising a man/woman
not a boy or girl
unpaid internships are one thing, but paying to get internships is insane
they need to lock the fuck in
if you cant get there on your own then youre not worthy
I know right
also
y'all are full pays im assuming?
everyone just has some connection with some big company and gets an internship there lowk not fair
btw im not making an argument for religion, like im basing my thinking based on my moral guidelines and im open to hearing from diff perspectives
this is from the quran
Surely the wasteful are ˹like˺ brothers to the devils. And the Devil is ever ungrateful to his Lord.
thats nuts
I had 0 replys from my cold emaills to IITD people
one of the rudest kids to me in college was some kid from Turkey who had what it seemed to be a personal bodyguard. One of the biggest assholes around. After one interaction, I ignored him. I'm pretty sure a lot of people there felt the same way. It's their loss to be like that and separate themselves from the community
Check dms
Bro that guy had the audacity to say he cold emailed lol
💯
i feel like that defeats the purpose of college abroad
if you don't even socialize
😭
damn im rawdogging us admissions w a 15k EFC 🙏
just saying, there's cliques within cliques, and it's a sea of sharks
hope you get blessed during admissions season and that your efforts are rewarded and that your parents are proud
LMAo
what's EFC?
estimated family contribution
financial contribution per year
how much you can pay for college
estimated financial co-oh
got semifinalist for a full ride at a safety already so we're off to a decent start
what school?
on the other hand, one of my roommates was an african ambassador's son who interned with bill clinton. Nicest guy
rollins college, rahul gandhi's alma mater
i got into tamu but it costs 60k so i need to pull 20k out of my ass
are you still in contact?
lmfao
but a 34 predicted, so the shit got wasted
i mean almost every international's got an LOR from a famous personality atp, but they're not personalized im p sure
along with nancy pelosi and a bunch of other famous people
all 9k intl applicants to princeton have one?
chill out bro
i got 1 famous one tbf
but i met her at a biz conf
no, i mean the competitive wealthier ones
also those LORs mean jackshit if it doesnt show a new perspective
i dont have a "Famous" one i have an "important" one i met when she worked with me on an initiative
eh idk, college counsellors write lors
wdym?
like the people you pay
write them
and then they sign off/
yes
well
that is not a good example
💀
why would you ask for an impersonal LOR from someone famous? That person can't speak to your skills/abilities
yes i agree now
cause they said above c
college counselors
that's why college counselors write them
they create your persona
its D1 bullshit bro i hope all thse people get cooked in uni and after
unfortantuely our world is not a meritocracy
so it is what it is
that's like saying, "this guy slaps. Signed G-O-D"
ngl bro
it's unusual for IB
maybe where you're from, but I don't think that's typical in the states
my school doesnt fucking inflate also
its so cooked
yeah im talking india
LOR culture varies
like yes the middle east has a fair bit of corruption but the pitfall of every applicant here is that SAT or AP score
ur in pathways or sum?
na
cause thats the one thing you cant buy your way out of
European LORs are very different from american LORs
and no tutors dont count cause uhave to be dsicplined
pathways had like 10 grade point inflation
bro
academics are the best standard
no
we have like a 10% inflation but it's fair because school exams are tough
schools in my country give grades for attendance
Eurpoean LOR - "this person is acceptable" = This person is a god.
American LOR - "this person is acceptable" = This person is acceptable
thats so cooked
I asked the guy who got me into cs and all to write one for me lmao
I have one european one, im praying it works
but idk what bros gonna write at ALL
IB sucks ASS
that's why AOs are regional
IB imo is a nice curriculum, the sciences are way easier than cbse and i love the focus on humanities
and IB gives no college credit
Well I pray they know what's up and what's not
like get outta here fr

Why am I here?
how can you cap on ur pred score??
school inflate
?
for my school a teacher liek
self reports the predicted
Same
that is Not how IB is done in 99% of the places
man i wish i had APs they're balls easy
i promise you it is
I worked so hard to get 98% predicted meanwhile my friends who were failing begged the teachers and got the same as me
i 100% promise you it is
cbse?
Yes sir
girl went from 80% to 96
how u doing pton from cbse

graded paper?
just rolling
!princeton
The decision date is <t:1734048000:F> in your local time
5 hours and 25 seconds until the decision date
😨😨😨😨
I submitted that
giuys i cant wait for the server to go crazy at 3 am
did u do eng p1?
general chat gonna have so many emotions
it's funny because people are coming out of the woodwork day of
i did not apply yet, ima do RD
Do u know alphalaser well?
yess
slow mode gonna go CRAZY
ah okay
get yo'ass outta here (until RD 😅 )
So we practically know each other
no i haven't talked to him much
my eng teacher gave 3 comments on a paper she gave 19/20 on like months ago. Refused to give more for princeton??
Knowing his height is enough LMFAO
My teacher didn't give any comments I had to submit without
i was just asking if he gets mogged in finland where average height is 6 feet
how did u
submit without
like she didnt give it?
Nah
I'm 6 feet, does that make me finnish?
wdym 😭
ah okay
damn
ib is just so convenient man
I had a really good response in an exam, but my handwriting ruined it ngl
Tbh that paper was badly written I didn't have anything else to give
like cambridge doesn't even recognize cbse as a curriculum
idk bro
Yeah lmfao
You applied oxbridge?
i find it pretty aids
no
Which one
first world problems
😭
Oh
Oxford got rejected pre interview
MAT went well though so idk
na like it is convinient but its hella stressful on a day to day basis
and u have to be a very good writer
it prepares you well for college is what i meant
oh mb
true
u can write hindi in an english paper and get 80%+
Lmfao
the issue is
there are not enough qualified people to moderate
on a central level
while math/science is just a simple markscheme
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Just feed into chatgpt
my chatgpt essay 19/20 got 9/20
first sem

on a hw
feed it to o1
Defo college material
its not good enough
😔
I even tried to create
train it on clastify essays
😭
I'ma take a nap
Bye bye qhasti

These might be the last few hrs I'll talk to you 😔
guys if someone gets in princeton drop me a friend request i need some connections for when in 20 years im poor and need money
Guys I’m ok now because I’m getting into Yale
my roommate was from Bangladesh. He told me he deleted all his application materials. I get why now....
y'all are cray cray
if it helps, I can mute you beforehand
is the rice still dry af?
thanks for the name u got this
Qhasti is itching to mute me
in retrospect, I think I remember dry sushi rice because we might have stored it in the fridge overnight and then ate it in the middle of an all nighter
I made my promise that I’d be normal after decisions come out so I’m getting all the freaky out beforehand
rural que sera sera
BAHHAHA yeah 😭
food is def not a problem here tho
Manifesting
Oh okay
I submitted Yale app today and I think it was spectacular
Did princeton click on any links in your application
Bro
I should start grinding my rds
I didn’t really know what I was doing for Princeton
Same
Because I had never written apps before
So honestly all of my RD apps are better than my Pton one
But I think that can be said for most of us
I didn’t put any links
how to tell?
I have nothing to link
you checked the IPs for your hits from NJ?
I don’t have a website 💀
No
I automated all that
Linked it to a discord webhook
It would be narcissistic of me to have a website
Admitted btw
Because it would just be me
ah, yes. so much better than the other thing
No it wasn't a website for myself
I have been contacted by the university four times since submitting
Some thing I built
Oh I see
I don’t do that
What
Let me elaborate
- Portal link
- Arts supp confirmation
- Finaid confirmation
- Release date
Ohhh
way to scare the shit outta people
I heard from someone on the server that AOs are told not to click any links
That honestly makes sense
Maybe cus of people like me lmfao
Princeton locks down on portal astrology HARD
I don't think they're even able to click on links
which is why I think Q 1 means nothing
can you imagine the potential for for hacking if they could?

Look at Caltech
Ong
Caltech had 10 I filled out
Not all of them are required
6 are required
But I obviously had to fill out the coursework limitations one
if you want to show ur serious about the school
You wouldn't leave the optional empty
imo
I focused on stem in the main six and explored my other interests in the optional 3
I will be rejected with prejudice from Caltech because of my 750 math SAT
but im still applying
Because they sent me a friendly email about wanting rural kids
Chill
Sat is becoming mandatory after a long time
This was a joke not dooming btw
The median will drop
I know 750 is still an insanely cracked math score
Im excited for the median to drop, test optional was bad for us
Test optional made everyone freak out
When the average sat at top schools is really like 1520
It’s on the common app, you list how many sittings you’ve had
At least for Yale
Let me check Princeton
It's how many sittings you want to report iirc
Because sometimes they exclude that info from common app
superscore ftw
They should require how many sittings
Although I don’t think the amt of sittings you take reflects poorly on you ever.
I can’t believe a 1520 is my school record 💀
how much did ur smartass get
jeeee
z
nic
guy in my school
One shotted a 1570
Thats crazy
I could’ve lowk gotten higher I made some nasty mistakes on math and ran out of time
Bro
Hey yall if I didn’t get a q1 is it like guaranteed I won’t get in?
Does every admit get a q1 request
No
it doesnt matter
its fine
Okay
Think other way around
Someone told me that 😭
You wouldn’t get one anyway if your counselor sent in Q1 grades like mine did
But even if not there’s so many great schools
top 10 reasons I hate college board
Me but with math
one and done ACT 😤
Tell me how I get a 750 but have all four bars filled
36?
Sat math was hard because lots of the questions are asked in ways I’ve never been asked before because rural education
idk
I used this tool called prep pros
70$ for like 150 questions
split it with 7 friends
ez
I just took 3 bluebook tests
1480, 1550, 1450
it was crazy
damnn
bro
in blue books
I was getting 1590 1570 types
I just choked
in the exam
614 points higher than school average coded
All I care is with 90 more messages we beat Cornell for number of messages in the megathreads and get within spitting distance of all the UCs
My classmate went to RSI
lmao
wherever bro is going to
ew
i mean
he still got it
in the bag
no uni in their right mind would reject an rsi admit
I admit, this is all pretty amusing to read
bro
im going to my friends house to play fifa
at 1am
im finished
Some kid one shotted 1590 here
My school average is way below that
One shotted a 1580 (my mom asked if I wanted to retake w the DSAT, and I was like, “NO”
Lmfao fr
what my friend texted me
i don't remember people here being this anxious last year
Below 1520? I sure hope so
or maybe i was one of them and didn't realize
prolly this
If I get rejected by princeton I'll ask her out
Two rejections make an acceptance right
lmao
I think we’ve just manufactured an insane amount of anxiety and it’s just gonna be the same 1-2-1 ratio
Yes sadly
but I think people are genuinely tweaking over the q1 grades this time around
not many ppl mentioned it last yr
what is 1-2-1 ratio?/
Because it’s not a big deal
my school does annual, im so thankful I aint stressing
Yes
Just in this server
yes'
was it a 1:2:1 last year in this server
pandemic defect ongoing
u shud know
i think
if u were this anxious
Fair
princeton reading all the chats
100:1 with one rejected
What if I'm actually a princeton ao
What if I’m an AO
what if I'M an AO
Won't be surprised
I secretly believe you are
taking notes
hmmmm
yes. Clearly I'm not hard at work reading apps and doing admin stuff and just slumming it here with the online sweats
obviously
what do AOs even do between rea decisions and rd applications
maybe AOs are just hella efficient
probably read more applications
read deferred applications??
and qhasti is one
Nothing they disappear from earth
They get summoned back to read rd applications
chill for a week, and start again
real
man it must be scary being an AO
Oh shit yeah rd is due in 2 weeks
I need to lock in
1000's childrens hands in ur life
Are AOs paid well
being an AO is a lot of work for shit pay
Oh
fair
most AOs arent even from the school
Wait what
Oh
bro wtf are the questions
she exuded MIT
i dont know how to answer them
like actually EXUDED the mit vibe
You'll cook I wrote mine in 3 days
fuck bro
Which one r u stuck with
my uncle did Wharton for 5-10 years
my regional AO is from william and mary
ah
Lemme check mine
i actually stalked my regional AO like crazy he seems like a chill guy
My regional AO is from Middlebury
He covers the San Fernando valley, Idaho, and Nevada

The decision date is <t:1734048000:F> in your local time
3 hours, 59 minutes and 34 seconds until the decision date
4 hours to go
LMAO
14,340 seconds
Are the regional AO’s accurate ?
238 minutes
as in?
Like there’s probably another AO looking at your application as well
probably yeah
Or it could be the dean of admissions and your regional officer most likely
something something you ask for it. I think nobody asked 😅
😦
The Princeton Insta story 
from what i understand the regional AO that they publish on the website is the most senior so there would be more junior AOs doing a first read and then if you go to committee you are presented to the regional AO and other higher ups like the dean of admissions
Can’t they tell USPS not to alert though?
Ladies and gentlemen place your bets now, did I get deferred or rejected
I’m sure they can
Maybe??
I think you get accepted
Perhaps
You seem like a stereotypical ivy league student
Crashing out constantly? Yeah
Im going to get absolutely wrecked by the curriculum
Let’s see if I hold up
With schoolwork it’s easier for me to not crash out because it’s an outcome I can reasonably control
Everyone listen to “Let It Be” by the Beatles and be happy
I’m hoping for deferral at this point
I refuse to see acceptance as possible until I’m staring at it
Did results come out
No

What did it say
yeah, probably QB
I’ve seen several instances of people celebrating early and saying they’re not QB or athlete
I think they’re either lying or have insane hubris
probably not legit then
Yeah
So all ivies come out today?
no
Harvard and Cornell and us
Im just ready for today to be over tbh

LMAO
I figured out my Oxford rejection from the subject line 😭
not sure but ill def be avoiding my email starting at like 6:30 just in case
It’s on the portal ur good
I think at least
🙏
The email (if any) usually comes a bit after the portal
I was literally putting my phone on charge and saw the notif

Oh alright

Im betting money on the decision
With my friends
Welp ig im taking a nap

Not exactly
Some regions here (India) follow that system
But I just have 9th-12th grade high school
Where college is 11th, 12th grade equivalent
Idk confusing stuff

@west light is absolutely doomed.

oh i'm sorry
that's the college counselor's responsibility. Doesn't mean anything either way. It's in the admissions FAQ
might crash out
real
for some reason I read that as "melting like an ice cream truck on a stick"
that works too
I wanna see an AI image of that
Oh no
ai would definitely generate a good image of that
Almost 1 hr left

nuh uh
but from what ive seen i think they’re more prevalent among intls
My counselor automatically sent in my q1 stuff, so idk if I would have gotten a request
regardless we cannot change the decision
I’m just glad I applied
