[cold lantern]

idk if i even want to do another interview

[deft cave]

I kept my grades up god bless and I will keep doing so

[limber grail]

penn never gave me an interview

[waxen oar]

[deft cave]

I applied CE

[limber grail]

[deft cave]

5 different people

who got in no interview

[limber grail]

oh okok

yk what i aint getting in anyways

[deft cave]

and I only know of like 8 people who got into penn so not that deep

[limber grail]

shooting for the stars 🔥

[waxen oar]

if they give u an interview theyre probably on the fence abt u

[deft cave]

Dg says most of his friends got in no interview as well

[deft cave]

no

[waxen oar]

then?

[deft cave]

penn interviews literally don't factor into the admissions process

[limber grail]

oh

[deft cave]

they said it themselves

[waxen oar]

ah

[limber grail]

bruh i applied to rice after dec 15 so they didnt give me an interview

[deft cave]

it's just a way for you to get to know the school

that's it

[limber grail]

😔

[waxen oar]

lol

[limber grail]

oh

[waxen oar]

i know it well enough

[limber grail]

ok nvm then im safe

[waxen oar]

i didnt wanna apply

[deft cave]

here are my predictions

[cold lantern]

i rushed my rice essays to submit on the 13th but kinda regret it

[waxen oar]

but my internship professor was like "if u want me to write u a rec at least apply to penn"

so

[cold lantern]

on the bright side my rice interviewer said he'd "try his best to help me"?

[deft cave]

lmfao

[waxen oar]

my friend got deferred from nw

isnt that like rlly rare or something

[deft cave]

I think it is?

[limber grail]

i did northwestern too

i submitted my app late

[deft cave]

NW ED is probably the easiest out of the seven though

[limber grail]

def getting rejected

[deft cave]

actually just the easiest in general

still ridiculously tough

[limber grail]

yea

[waxen oar]

my one friend got in for baseball

lol

[limber grail]

nice nice

pls one t20

bless up

[waxen oar]

he committed in 11th grade or some shi 😭

[limber grail]

LUCKY

[deft cave]

Mich already blessed me

[waxen oar]

idek how sports commitments work

[deft cave]

so my luck is out

it's chill though

[limber grail]

mich is great

[cold lantern]

i wish i did a sport

[waxen oar]

i rlly didnt think mich would be that tough

[cold lantern]

like horeback riding or fencing or smth

[waxen oar]

but oh well

[waxen oar]

i used to swim and i did tkd

[cold lantern]

isnt swimming really hard to get recruited for tho

[waxen oar]

for a club tho not in school

[cold lantern]

bc lots of competition

[cold lantern]

ah

[waxen oar]

probably

im alright

my 50 free is like

26.54

[cold lantern]

im ngl i have no clue if thats good lol

wait lemme cross check w my friends time

[waxen oar]

its a little below average probably

[cold lantern]

ok my friend said he did a 24.11

[waxen oar]

i didnt even put swimming on my app lol

[cold lantern]

i dont swim idk what any of this means

[waxen oar]

i did put taekwondo though

[cold lantern]

taekwondo is so cool

i do rock climbing for fun

but i dont compete

[waxen oar]

damn

backstroke was probably my best stroke

my 50 back time is only a little slower than my freestyle

[cold lantern]

i should probably learn how to swim

if i was thrown into the ocean id probably die

[waxen oar]

i havent swam since sophomore year :\

[deft cave]

yeah same

[waxen oar]

i only did track in school

but i was fucking dogshit

[deft cave]

I haven't swam in years

[cold lantern]

i could never do track

i was dying after a mile run

[waxen oar]

i did hurdles 😭

i had to quit cz i got injured

[cold lantern]

aw that sucks

i wish i was good at a sport

i want to get better at climbing but i dont do it enough

i go like once a week

[waxen oar]

i was alr at tkd

my sparring was mid

but my poonsae was very good

id usually represent for the form events at taekwondo comps for my dojo

taekwondo was fun i miss it 😔

[cold lantern]

the great thing about apps being over is we have some more time to enjoy life lol

[deft cave]

yeah

but in my practice

I'm just watching youtube hella

and binging shows

💀

[cold lantern]

hey enjoying life is enjoying life

in all its forms lol

[frosty egret]

Main benefit for Honors program here is just solely for apartments first year (tho you pay more)

If you want to take actual honors classes, anyone can do that and has nothing to do with the honors program

There’s not that many actual honors classes. Just a few in math and 2 math-like cs classes

[safe hazel]

penn state or upenn

[deft cave]

upenn

[safe hazel]

wtf

upenn deferral is hard

[ashen minnow]

[frosty egret]

2211 or 2212

This multi exam gonna cook me in 2 hours

[deft cave]

Stats seem to be posted on gatech.lite

4.2% acceptance rate for CE OOS, 4.9% for CS OOS

Mechanical was 4%

CS applicant pool is probably way more qualified on average though(and CE to an extent)

[sleek oxide]

Probably 2211 cause 2212 is today

[frosty egret]

I had it yesterday too

Seems like everyone got cooked lmao

[hearty ruin]

Can you send the link

[ashen minnow]

bro wtf was question 3

[slow crow]

Multi was pretty bad lol

[modest verge]

dang i tossed mechanical last year thinking it was probs easier than other engineering 🤣 got a pathway instead so i guess it sort of worked out

[deft cave]

The applicant pool itself is a lot less competitive than CE or CS though

Still very tough

[bronze fox]

no?

[bronze fox]

how the hell did applicant numbers go up

but admitted numbers drop

[deft cave]

oh they're updating the data over time

when I checked it at that time it was 4%

[deft cave]

oh wait nvm

it is still 4%

you're including instate

filter for out of state as well

[deft cave]

they'll admit more RD

[frosty egret]

I made 1 tiny mistake on question 4 so i couldn’t do part 2 and 3

[frosty egret]

My prof is so lazy in lecture so his exam questions just matched his laziness lmao

[limber grail]

whered u find this

[modest verge]

gatech.lite

[limber grail]

[lofty hedge]

2 years ago

[lofty hedge]

below 100k

lets be objectively

💀

[lofty hedge]

probably niche

u can js click click clickc click click

and apply to like 100 schools

[waxen oar]

let alone get accepted to 54 of them

[lofty hedge]

bc

theyre probably all

very easy

to get into

[waxen oar]

pulls out the t50 colleges

[lofty hedge]

if u applied to every school between t100 and t200

youd probably get in

to all of them

or at least like 80

[cerulean depot]

why do u need even need to that many

[lofty hedge]

no idea

skull

[waxen oar]

even 20 was too much for me

😭

[deft cave]

I only applied to 15

[cerulean depot]

this reminds me of those gooofy edits to the tiktok audio thats like “i can finally sleep” “2848294738474 billion in scholarships” and the background is random ass schools

[lofty hedge]

lmfao

i doubled u

or almost did

[deft cave]

bro my list was

[cerulean depot]

i applied to like… 8….

[deft cave]

like as reach heavy as it could possibly be

[waxen oar]

thats how many most kids at my school applied to

[lofty hedge]

[waxen oar]

around 30 ish

[lofty hedge]

im an asian male applying for CS

[waxen oar]

IM GONNA END UP LIKE SAJJAD

[deft cave]

UMD

[lofty hedge]

let me categorize everything in my list as a safety / target / reach

[deft cave]

everything else was a fucking reach

[lofty hedge]

1s

[waxen oar]

i thought umd was a reach 😭

[lofty hedge]

for cs oos

it is

lol

[deft cave]

I did CE and for my stats, not rlly lol

[lofty hedge]

💀

[deft cave]

is it?

[waxen oar]

id say my only target was virginia tech

[deft cave]

I think for CE it's a target

wait in that case

[waxen oar]

(watch me get deferred)

[deft cave]

if it is a reach

then I had no targets

lol wtf

[cerulean depot]

i should of applied to more reach schools cuz i’ve gotten into everything so far thankfully

[deft cave]

severe blunder

[waxen oar]

and my safeties were upitt and penn state

[waxen oar]

i did cs: ml

its like 15th in ai

idk

ai is newer so ranking doesnt rlly matter

[lofty hedge]

Safety: WPI, accepted, scholarship

Target:

UCD CS OOS
UCI CS OOS
UCSB CS OOS

Reach:

Yale REA
Georgia Tech CS OOS
Northeastern CS + Neuroscience
Purdue CS OOS
UT Austin CS + Neuroscience OOS
UIUC CS + BioE OOS
UMD CS OOS
UMich LSA CS OOS
VTech CS OOS
UDub CS In-state
CMU Computational Biology (in school of CS tho 💔)
Columbia Computational Biology
Cornell LSA Cog Sci
Harvard Neuroscience
Harvey Mudd Math-Comp Bio
Princeton Neuroscience
Stanford Biomedical Computation
UPenn Bioengineering
MIT Computation + Cognition
UCLA Computational Bio OOS
Duke Interdisciplinary Engineering
UCB Data Science OOS
UCSD CS OOS

so

pretty reach heavy

and all of my targets are very loose im pretty sure the AR% of those

is like

sub30

for oos cs

[waxen oar]

damn vtechs a reach too

[lofty hedge]

cs

oos

indian male

🤷‍♂️

what can u say

[waxen oar]

that probably means that penn state was my target 😭

[waxen oar]

yeah i did ce oos

also indian male

[deft cave]

holy moly

[lofty hedge]

im p sure

if u used

the raw

acceptance rate %

every one of my targets

[waxen oar]

i did AI at Upenn

[lofty hedge]

is a reach too

😂

so i basically did 1 safety 27 reaches

LOOOOOL

[waxen oar]

yeah im not crazy

i made sure to apply to pitt and penn state

[lofty hedge]

i only applied to a sfatey

bc my mom

was pissed

i was doing

27 reaches

0 targets

0 safeties

[waxen oar]

i would be too fr

[lofty hedge]

so i said

yo

i will apply

but i REFUSE to go

i will go to CC

so in reality it was p much 0 0 27

[waxen oar]

what was even ur safety

what is WPI

[lofty hedge]

is this aura

its a small engineering school on the east coast

[waxen oar]

oh

[lofty hedge]

which lowk is not that great for cs

[waxen oar]

penn state and pitt were safeties cz im in state

but penn state is actually alright for ce it was t30 last i checked

[lofty hedge]

yeah

nvm

i should not be so pissed

about rejections

when practically

every school on my list

is under 30%

...

LMFAO

[waxen oar]

purdues acc rate is gonna drop a lot this year lol

housing crisis

[lofty hedge]

i got into purdue cs

and umd cs

both of which i think are sub20 this year

for cs oos

[waxen oar]

i got purdue ai

and yeah umd cs

[lofty hedge]

dubs

[deft cave]

what do you think UMD CE is OOS

[lofty hedge]

idk

i heard a rumor that umd cs oos is sub 10 this year

which i

idk if i believe that

[deft cave]

nah

[lofty hedge]

maybe 10-15

[deft cave]

Imma say 30% for CE

[waxen oar]

its 17 as is

i think

[deft cave]

wait what's even a target

[lofty hedge]

its like 30-50 no

[deft cave]

like what acceptance rate is a target

[waxen oar]

idk i thought virgin tech was a target for me

[lofty hedge]

prolly 30-50

[deft cave]

prolly is

[deft cave]

but I think they deadass yield protect

[lofty hedge]

lol

[waxen oar]

but i also thought madison wisconsin was a target n got deferred

[deft cave]

like the entire top right of my school's scattergram is waitlists

[waxen oar]

so i guess it was a reach 😂

[limber grail]

wait virginia tech is out?

[deft cave]

that's a reach for CS

[lofty hedge]

no

[waxen oar]

did CE

[lofty hedge]

ngl

[waxen oar]

prolly also reach

[lofty hedge]

im just now realizing

[deft cave]

still a reach

yeah

[lofty hedge]

if i didnt get purdue / umd

i would have like

fucked my future

so hard

[deft cave]

yeah bro I personally got like

hella lucky

[lofty hedge]

i th ink this is the biggest gamble ive ever taken in my mf life

💀

[waxen oar]

purdue and umd are both great for networking esp for cs

[deft cave]

I should applied more targets

I didn't apply to any apparently

[lofty hedge]

i should have applied to a single target bro

💀

[deft cave]

Like stony or binghamton or smth

[lofty hedge]

ok

my hypothesis is

once u get cracked enough

targets just dont exist anymore

[deft cave]

I

[lofty hedge]

like once u get cracked enough everything is either a reach or a safety

[deft cave]

have seen that on reddit before

[deft cave]

that seems plausible

[lofty hedge]

like

say some kid is

usaco plat

4x usamo

did like BU RISE or sumn

[waxen oar]

yeah im not all that

[lofty hedge]

what is that kids target bro

[lofty hedge]

udub cs was brutal for my HS last year

[waxen oar]

my school sucks

its getting worse every year lol

as an overall average

theres like a bigger increasing gap between the insane kids and the

uh

lesser ambitious kids

[lofty hedge]

this is

my high schools

most competitive class

probably ever

but

save a few people

we had some medicore EA results

[waxen oar]

our only two good ea results were

one kid got a full ride to brown bc of questbridge

and one kid got into penn but he has legacy

[lofty hedge]

we had

3 mit

3 cornell

3 nyu

but then

[lofty hedge]

[lofty hedge]

white asian asian

W diversity

[waxen oar]

the east asian girl is cracked as shit

[lofty hedge]

not surprised

[waxen oar]

but her extracurriculars are all over the place so

it doesnt even matter

well it still does but niche displayal is underrated

the other dudes some white guy who wanted to go d1 baseball but got an injury

guess what bros essay was abt 💀

[lofty hedge]

a sports injruy...

[waxen oar]

yes lol

[lofty hedge]

if thats true u got 0 competition there

[waxen oar]

i mean

[lofty hedge]

sports injury essay is borderline disqualification

[waxen oar]

he got deferred from georgia tech tho

[lofty hedge]

gt was random asf this year

[waxen oar]

a lot of my not locked friends got deferred somehow

yeah

and then the last guys in my friend group

idk hes not that locked in

but he ead to berkeley

because they dont take sat or smth

and his sat is a 1470

which isnt bad but i guess not competitive for top colleges

[hearty ruin]

how do you ea to berkeley

[tame geyser]

gt engineering or any non hpsm engineering

[frank oyster]

Any stamps semifinalists do the interview yet?

Or does anyone know what they might ask

[golden compass]

Cracked kids at my school pretty evenly distributed ngl

Like I know handful each of premed, finance, art, engineering, math, english, law

[fiery falcon]

everyone here just does engineering or cs

har har

[safe hazel]

gt so odd

how many

deferred from ur school

[lofty hedge]

idk if any tbh

everyone i’ve asked got rej

[safe hazel]

gg

my school had 4 defs

2 rejections

but its an int school

[dull holly]

wait comp bio at Columbia?

I couldn't find that

[winged escarp]

For lower level classes yea like a lot of the HP sections won’t be filled whereas some of the other sections might be less of a thing when u get into higher level classes tho

[ashen minnow]

i just barely got question 4

didnt have enough time to complete question 3, idk if im passing this exam ngl

[fresh roost]

i’m wondering if applying to honors college at gt is worth? like how do gt students feel about it

[craggy ermine]

the people I know at gt all say to apply cause you get guaranteed a great dorm

like apartment style single dorms, you only share bathrooms with 1 other person, overall good quality

and easier to get in some lower section classes

[fresh roost]

ahh i see

sounds nice, guess i’ll apply:p

[craggy ermine]

apparently the earlier you apply the better, but the two people I know applied in may and they were fine

I'm gonna apply in april after I know for sure whether or not I'm going to gt

[fresh roost]

yeah i saw they had a priority deadline thing going on

[frosty egret]

The names kinda misleading but the honors program is just a living learning community here. Main benefit is apartments (I think 8th street) as a first year, tho that means you pay more for housing

[frosty egret]

I have Alicea and she said some other professor made question 4

Apparently it was a lot harder and a bit out of the scope of the class until she toned it down

So it could’ve been worse 💀

She said she’s only curving if average across all the 1000 students are under 70

Hope they didn’t make physics 1 hard as they did in physics 2 last sem

Heard the average first exam in physics 2 was like 50 last sem

[calm ocean]

fuck georgia tech

bum school

L

[granite gorge]

i was the only one who got into GT from my school 😭

and my schools like hella competitive sends plenty t20s a year

[woven ingot]

[safe hazel]

[cold lantern]

i should do this soon lol

[slow crow]

Midterm tmr makes me wanna die

[fickle condor]

they pretty much are atp 😭 🙏

[runic crescent]

SCARY

the questions were different from what i expected

or it may be a testament to my lack of interview experience

nevertheless

i'm sure you guys will do great

stay locked in

be confident in yourself

[runic crescent]

best of luck! <3

[cold lantern]

thank you!!

[cold lantern]

oh no

now i'm scared

[frank oyster]

😭😭😭😭😭

[runic crescent]

DON'T BE SCARED

again like i could just be non-seasoned interview person

[frank oyster]

R we fine if we just focus on the 4 pillars

[runic crescent]

you rly gotta think though, and 30 seconds weren't really enough for me

[runic crescent]

i'm not sure if i emphasized that enough sob

but yes

do keep that in mind 🫡

heck i need to stop brooding haha

you guys have got this i'm sure 🫡

[frank oyster]

This will be my first interview ever

[open cave]

I 2nd this ^^ tbf this 🥷 is ChBE so he has it the worst but gt in general sucks unless ur a business aka a basket weaving major

[runic crescent]

Drainage gang

Do you care about what you do

Are you truly passionate for what you stand for

[frank oyster]

Huh ??

[runic crescent]

Nah I'm just like asking

Because if you make it clear that you care about what you do

I'm pretty sure that's all you need

[frank oyster]

Oh

U scared me

I tjought those were the questions

[runic crescent]

Nah nah nah

[cold lantern]

ahh i've done a few interviews but this one is super high stakes so i'm freaking out a bit now lol

[cold lantern]

its 2 minutes of speaking per question right?

[frank oyster]

Bro do we have to know specifics abt gt

Like why us essentially

im scared asf

[cold lantern]

should i procrastinate and do it sunday or get it over with

[runic crescent]

2 mins speaking, 30 second preperation

[runic crescent]

i understand why, don't fret all too much!

[runic crescent]

you should know why you wanna go there haha

if you two have any more questions feel free to ask in dms

[cold lantern]

on a scale of 1-10 and 10 being super weird how weird do you feel the questions were/how caught off-guard were you?

[frank oyster]

Also how long did it take u

Seems like it would take 15 min

[slow crow]

I concur I am a freshman and this sucks

[frosty egret]

Lowkey I would’ve been so much happier anywhere else

Maintaining decent grades with a social life is so fucking ass

[cold lantern]

is the grade deflation as bad as the rumors?

[calm ocean]

notice how UIUC isnt on here!

W school for not rejecting me

!

[craggy ermine]

That is definitely not true lol

[vital thunder]

Where's Reed

[ashen minnow]

yeah gt should be way higher on that list

[limber grail]

can sm read my loci and give some feedback 😭

[cloud vale]

I applied to 10 from that list...

😭

[modest verge]

Guys gotta move on from CS

We already on CS2….

https://tenor.com/view/ohne-pixel-cs-go-katowice2014-ohne-counter-strike-gif-27001704

[earnest rivet]

should i write a loci if i got deferred? i just submitted my dsf and idk if it counts as a loci

[stark moat]

it feels wrong to have more faith in my gtech deferral than in my own state school of UT 😭

[wooden flare]

well they do take 20% of deferrals

which is crazy high

[stark moat]

wait fr

i hope my midterms are sufficient

and my loci spectacular

[ashen minnow]

including instate

[maiden dragon]

GOLD GOLD GOLD

[ashen minnow]

VAS???

[cobalt fossil]

If I selected a major in the Scheller School of Business, got admitted, can I now confirm a Computer Engineering Major?

Has anyone done this?

[hollow dagger]

pretty sure you can get any major except cs, fried last year got in for economics and did mechanical engineering

Not 100% sure tho

[hearty ruin]

No

Georgia tech doesn’t allow transfers into CS and I’m pretty sure also CE

You would have to reapply from within

From what I know talking to a student there

[modest verge]

TIGHT AND HOLLOW TIGHT AND HOLLOW

[cobalt fossil]

Where does it mention anything for CE?

CS I'm aware

[hearty ruin]

I know someone from gt in ce

Who’s saying they’ve been cracking down on transferring into CE

Especially cross department transfers

[hollow dagger]

I don’t think it matters for choosing ur major on the major selection form tho

All majors except cs available on that form

[cobalt fossil]

yeah

[cobalt fossil]

i'm not transferring

i'm confirming the major as CE

transfer would be my first unrestricted change of major right?

[hollow dagger]

Yea confirming ur major doesn’t count as a “major change”

[hearty ruin]

You should double check that with the admin team

I swear I heard you can’t comfirm a major in CS and CE like that

[ashen minnow]

no u can switch into CE

[hearty ruin]

Oh really

Interesting

[deft cave]

I believe they’re starting to crack down on it though

Just like CS

[ashen minnow]

nah

[deft cave]

^

Oh sait

Wait

You go to GT

Guess you’d know better

👍

[frosty egret]

Well they ain’t cracking down cs anymore cause they fucking opened the application to change into cs

[ashen minnow]

yeah lol

they baited everyone

[deft cave]

Lmfao whst

What

[frosty egret]

Like what’s the point of the restriction if ur gonna flood cs with more ppl again

Like we can’t even support our current amount of ppl

We don’t need more

[ashen minnow]

they’re restricting the amount now i guess

[frosty egret]

The whole point of restriction was cause waitlists are like 300 for cs classes
