[maiden aurora]

Dude on arch manning you gotta believe me

[red path]

[cold hedge]

i thought it was 11:59 pm

[nocturne minnow]

@maiden aurora why you lyin man

[drowsy raven]

[shrewd fractal]

evening but that’s super vague

[storm sequoia]

5pm CST if they do same time as jan 15

[drowsy raven]

oh weird

[brave bay]

if i didn't recive the mail does that mean my decision wont come out today?

[unkempt compass]

ima just sleep cause any possible time would be like 2:30 am to 6:30 am for me

[shrewd fractal]

no fr
the time will pass regardless whether you stare at your email/portal for hours or not. just sleep tbh
i’m going to check it every once in a while

[storm sequoia]

Someone on reddit said if you didnt get an email you are getting your decision on the 15th

[thorn palm]

someone on reddit is not a very reputable source bro 😭

[storm sequoia]

True

[maiden aurora]

I said the mascot of the school, which is not human, told me that it’s a joke not a lie 😭

[warm knoll]

Hook ‘em 🤟

[vestal scaffold]

So it’s in how many hours?

[fast sinew]

Dy guys think any honors decisions will come out tday

[quick holly]

Last year it was like 7 pm I swear

lowkey excited for yall good luck guys !

[placid quail]

good luck everyone!

[odd lotus]

yoo what time is it?

[spiral stump]

wait arent the results supposed to come on 15th

[storm sequoia]

They sent an email saying results iut today

[queen night]

rn its 12:47 pm cst

[distant summit]

rs

[gilded copper]

When does it come out

[drowsy raven]

the mist likely time is 5pm cst

[vestal scaffold]

Releases for everyone today?

[rustic hound]

Yeah

[vestal scaffold]

Damn

[gilded copper]

No?

It said majority of in the email

[rustic hound]

Well, basically everyone

[gilded copper]

I mean ur probably right

Gonna be 95%+

[rustic hound]

Yeah

Also do you think that honor programs are going to come out around the same time as decisions?

[gilded copper]

Probably later

The ut admissions wiki says it's usually later

[distant summit]

inshallah i get turing

fuck yeahhh

[rustic hound]

I'm praying for turing too 🙏

[rustic hound]

Praying that you get into turing :))

[gilded copper]

What fr?

Oh

Wait were they admitted 1/15?

Makes sense then

It comes out after admission decision

[distant summit]

wallah

[gilded copper]

That's just a ut goof

[distant summit]

only one wave

they still have more honors spaces

[spiral stump]

I didnt get the email so ill get it next week right?

[distant summit]

yeah

apparently someone called the AOs and if you didsnt receive the email, you're most likely getting it on the 15th

so

rip?

they expect most offers on the 15th to either be rejections or CAP offers, or offers for intl students

[muted loom]

What's a CAP offer?

[muted loom]

You mean you're most likely not getting it then?

[distant summit]

CAP is only for in-state, it's basically guaranteed transfer to UT Liberal Arts if u spend a year at a different UT system institution

p much everyone gets CAP unless ur application was genuinely dookie

but idk about this yr

[distant summit]

wdym

CAP = coordinated admissions program

[gilded copper]

So today means more likely an accept?

[distant summit]

i wouldnt think about it like that lol

[frail thistle]

cap

is what u do

[distant summit]

most people got in today

[frail thistle]

lolo

[distant summit]

i hate u

crodie

[frail thistle]

kick up

[distant summit]

it gets dangerous in dallas tx

[frail thistle]

no bizzy bap crodie

[distant summit]

ill square up fam

[gilded copper]

Wait doesn't that mean today has a higher chance than 15th

[frail thistle]

u do not know bout the seattle suburbs

[frail thistle]

if what theyre saying about

the date you get it

[coarse galleon]

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[frail thistle]

having no impact

on your admission

is true

[distant summit]

i$$aquah gang$ter$$$

[frail thistle]

then that means yoru chance is the same both today and next wk

[frail thistle]

the only issy gangster i know is a uiuc cs + x student now

[gilded copper]

Am I interpreting this wrong then "they expect most offers on the 15th to either be rejections or CAP offers, or offers for intl students"

[muted loom]

No I mean you said that people who don't receive the email are getting it on the 15th? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

[frail thistle]

when did they say that

[gilded copper]

from parm lol

[frail thistle]

the ppl who get the email about a decision tomorrow

getting a decision tomorrow

makes sense

[knotty ocean]

no intl got it

[frail thistle]

tbh

[knotty ocean]

so doesn't mean anything

p sure

if your portal looks like this, i think you will get it on the 15th

if the "application is still in review" thing is missing

[frail thistle]

i hate how UT has no like click to open decision button

it just shows up

[knotty ocean]

then i think you're getting it today

[muted loom]

Welp good to know

[distant summit]

• most people get their decisions back today, except mostly internationals and some OOS (and very few in-state)
• most of the Feb 15 decisions will be rejections or CAP offers depending on yield/housing statistics from Feb 7

are the two statements ive heard

[gilded copper]

soooo

[knotty ocean]

will keep this in mind when i open my rejection in a few hours

🙏

[gilded copper]

its more likely to get in today??

[distant summit]

make with it as u will

[frail thistle]

yeah the second u log into the portal

it shows ur decision

so if ur recording it

start recording early

lol

[gilded copper]

i still have the app in review part, but i got the email

[muted loom]

So in other words if you want to get accepted, hope it isn't today

[knotty ocean]

i got fucking ut dallas earlier today for some reason i think they wanted to torture me in a twisted way

i applied to it like 4 months ago as a safety

[frail thistle]

lolo

[distant summit]

LMAO

[knotty ocean]

they waited until ut day to give it to me

[frail thistle]

4 mo later for UTD is wil

d

[distant summit]

happened to me on purdue day

[knotty ocean]

idk why they took so long

i took a month to pay the fee

[distant summit]

i submitted UT Dallas on Dec 1

[knotty ocean]

but after that idk what they were doing

😭

[distant summit]

they asked me for my SAT like 10 times

never sent it

and they just went like

fuck it

ur in

on purdue day

lol

[gilded copper]

lmao im auto into utd and i got edged for a few months

[distant summit]

oh yeah that was UT EA day LMAOOO

i rememebr

but i was lowkey depressed about UT so i didnt think about it much

[knotty ocean]

i was worried if i was truly cooked

like ut dallas L would mean it's over for me

😭

[gilded copper]

wait does "Your application is still in review." mean 7th or 15th

[frail thistle]

bro

[gilded copper]

cause i still have it

[frail thistle]

purdue day was so wack

first

[distant summit]

everyone has it lol

[frail thistle]

purdue opened

in the middle of calc bc

[knotty ocean]

my friend who applied ea and got deferred doesnt have it

neither do i

[distant summit]

lol purdue opened when i was at taco bell

[knotty ocean]

i had it for a bit

[frail thistle]

and thehn UT was weird w their deferrals

[distant summit]

*everyone who applied RD

[distant summit]

EA people have the deferral message

[knotty ocean]

i applied rd

don't have it

[distant summit]

rly?

wait

[muted loom]

same

[distant summit]

who has it

[knotty ocean]

yeah

[gilded copper]

i applied ea and got deferred and i have it

[frail thistle]

mine says your application is still in review

i applied ea and i got deferred

[muted loom]

Yeah it could be different for EA/RD

[distant summit]

mine RD?

ohh wait

yeah

opposite

[knotty ocean]

i applied rd asw

[distant summit]

EA should have "still in review"

[muted loom]

I don't think the stuff about if you're in review or whatever matters

[distant summit]

idk

[muted loom]

Yeah

[distant summit]

UT hella weird

[distant summit]

yeah the in review thing is deferral

[knotty ocean]

did you get the email?

[frail thistle]

yes

[distant summit]

anyways that doesnt matter

[knotty ocean]

then idk

[distant summit]

only thing is email

thats all that matters

[gilded copper]

true true

[knotty ocean]

my friend doesnt have it he got deferred

somehow

[frail thistle]

ok

no

something that makes no sense to me

is how they were somehow

so

[distant summit]

bro UT has the most scuffed admissions this yr LMAOO

[frail thistle]

catastrophically behind schedule

[distant summit]

no predictions

[muted loom]

So if I got it I'm likely getting a rejection decision today? x_x

[frail thistle]

but now they're a week above schedule

[knotty ocean]

ut austin has an ass it dept

[frail thistle]

this makes me think

[knotty ocean]

uiuc portal is watertight

that shit is beautiful

nothing is leaking out

[frail thistle]

wait didnt parm say acceptances would come today

[knotty ocean]

beautiful ui

[frail thistle]

and rej / caps would come on the 15th

[muted loom]

Best acceptance thing too

[distant summit]

NO

[knotty ocean]

whoever designed it is goated

[distant summit]

didnt say that

both As and Rs will come out today

but

15th is more likely to have Rs

[frail thistle]

so why is ellie feraking out

-_-

[knotty ocean]

if your decision is done now you'll get it

[distant summit]

just bc its mostly oos/intl/worse profiles

[gilded copper]

so 7th is more likely to have As

[muted loom]

x_x

[distant summit]

idk

[frail thistle]

did u get the email

[muted loom]

Shut up I don't want another rejection

[muted loom]

Yes

[distant summit]

you're OOS so like

[knotty ocean]

let's gooo

[muted loom]

OH WAIT

[knotty ocean]

getting my rejection early

[frail thistle]

bro

[knotty ocean]

🔥 🔥

[muted loom]

Today isn't the 15th

[frail thistle]

ellie

today is the 7th

what the sigma

[distant summit]

rejection from UT is expected for all OOS regardless lol

[muted loom]

Nvm I'm stupid I thought it was the 15th for some reason LOL

[distant summit]

even HYPSM admits

[knotty ocean]

ut is very random

[frail thistle]

bro this dude i know last year got

rejected udub instate

rejected from all the ucs

[distant summit]

💀

[frail thistle]

rejected from all the ivies

but into turing

cs

oos

[knotty ocean]

i saw an intl dude with 3.08 gpa get into UT

[distant summit]

oh yeah

thats true

[knotty ocean]

D in final exams

it's extremely random

[distant summit]

UT is very inconsistent

[gilded copper]

bro bought a whole building /j

[knotty ocean]

i saw a 1300 out of state dude get in

[distant summit]

hella people get rejected from all T20s and get into UT

[frail thistle]

allegedly the ut dean called him

[distant summit]

or oither way around

[frail thistle]

and asked him

what he needed to do

[knotty ocean]

UT admissions are almost entirely computerized there are a lot of fuckups

[frail thistle]

to get the kid

to commit to UT

and the kid had no offers but UMD

so it was a no brainer

[knotty ocean]

they bruteforce your class rank from grade distribution provided in school report if you don't report one

insane process

[frail thistle]

oh!

[knotty ocean]

they forcibly calculate one for everyone

[frail thistle]

oh....

[gilded copper]

time to insert some code to make me #1

[knotty ocean]

they don't consider gpa at all

[gilded copper]

hacking ut database

[frail thistle]

i think im top 10%?

[knotty ocean]

it's wild

[frail thistle]

i dont really know

i know im at least top 15% and im likely top 10% or higher

am i cooked

[knotty ocean]

im like top 15-20% i hope they fuck up while calculating mine

💀

[frail thistle]

what does UT consider as good

is it top 10 or top 5

[knotty ocean]

under top 10% cooking

[distant summit]

huh?

[frail thistle]

aight

[distant summit]

i know Tex A&M does it

[knotty ocean]

basically they got sued

so they had to release their entire process

https://www.utsystem.edu/sites/default/files/news/assets/kroll-investigation-admissions-practices.pdf

original whitepaper

[modern oriole]

What if we don't report class rank

[frail thistle]

theyll

[modern oriole]

[frail thistle]

bruteforce it themselves

allegedly

[knotty ocean]

yeah

[modern oriole]

How

[frail thistle]

your counselors will give

a distribution

as a part of the school report

[modern oriole]

Nah we don't give that either

[frail thistle]

how do u know that lol

[modern oriole]

We sneaky like that

[frail thistle]

its a part of the school report

[modern oriole]

Counselor told me

Not ours

[frail thistle]

oh word

then idk

💀

[distant summit]

scuffed ahh school

💀

[frail thistle]

chopped ahh school

[modern oriole]

The only thing we give is highest gpa

In the class

[devout pelican]

Are international getting it today?

[idle shoal]

is there a time on when rd comes out

[knotty ocean]

your final decision isn't made by an ao, the only human part of the process is when they rate your essays and ecs

[devout pelican]

I didn't get the email

[frail thistle]

intl is allegedly likely happening on the 15th

[distant summit]

insane lmao

[frail thistle]

bro what does ut use ai 💀

[knotty ocean]

yes

[distant summit]

honestly

i think

[modern oriole]

Then how did they take so long

[distant summit]

UT might have gotten overwhelmed

and then realized like

[gilded copper]

chatgpt please sort through this pile of apps and give me top 30% of them

[modern oriole]

Like how did they not finish decisions

[distant summit]

"we gotta use AI on dis bih" 💀

[modern oriole]

If they don't even have humans doing it

That's crazy

[distant summit]

and then thats how they finished early

[frail thistle]

i think what happened is UT got overwhelmed in early, then implemented some kind of HEAVY stats filter / used AI to screen out a shit ton of people

yes

i pretty much agree

[modern oriole]

Oh fair

[knotty ocean]

they plot your academic index and personal achievement index in a matrix full of cells with x axis being ai and y axis being pai (pai is decided by averaging your ec and essay scores which are rated by a human from 1 to 6), people in certain cells get in and everyone else gets cooked

[gilded copper]

so theres gonna be min gpa/sat?

[distant summit]

its like when u try ur hardest and then give up

[frail thistle]

they just started chopping ppl w shit stats out en masse

[distant summit]

and just

[elfin trench]

sup

[frail thistle]

potentially

[elfin trench]

ut came out

[distant summit]

hihg colin

[modern oriole]

Good thing my sat is good

[distant summit]

💀

💀

[gilded copper]

cooked

[distant summit]

WHERE

i wanna see

[frail thistle]

hes probably lyin

[gilded copper]

prob troll no?

[modern oriole]

Me when I lie

[distant summit]

no

[frail thistle]

lolo

[elfin trench]

no im kiddin

[distant summit]

i wanted to see if my classmates got in

[elfin trench]

guys

[distant summit]

im so disappointed im early release

💔

[frail thistle]

colin are u classmates w the big parm

[storm sequoia]

Yo where you find this at

At

[elfin trench]

@ivory snow sigma

[knotty ocean]

https://www.utsystem.edu/sites/default/files/news/assets/kroll-investigation-admissions-practices.pdf

[frail thistle]

ok but i think only considering class rank and not gpa is a smart move no

[knotty ocean]

they detail everything here

[frail thistle]

like

is that not something all schools

should adapt

ur gpa is meaningless if not in context and class rank gives that context

[ivory snow]

yo wanna hit up the fac

[knotty ocean]

better than gpa but class rank isnt perfect either

[storm sequoia]

Wow thank you

[elfin trench]

yess

[devout pelican]

Any international received the email?

[knotty ocean]

like the people at my school with the highest class ranks all take easy ib courses

the people who take very hard subject combos rank slightly lower but they're obviously more suited

[covert jackal]

whens it comning out?

[frail thistle]

what you could do is assign like a weighted point system

like a counselor for each school

assigns

[gilded copper]

yeah lowkey i shouldnt have taken some classes

[frail thistle]

a numerical difficulty level

[elfin trench]

https://tenor.com/view/it's-good-to-see-me-isn't-it-glinda-wicked-are-you-happy-to-see-me-universal-pictures-gif-7981855463929399747

[frail thistle]

to every course

regardless of the rigor

and then thats multiplied by the grade converted to a numerical scale

u sum it up for every course

and use that instead of gpa

[ivory snow]

@distant summit

[frail thistle]

in terms of how youd get the difficulty

js survey past students

and take the weighted average

[knotty ocean]

most schools aint got time for allat ig

[queen night]

from what ive heard a lot of colleges recaclulate gpa anyways

bc every school does it differently

[frail thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/im-nothing-like-yall-nothing-like-yall-im-nothing-like-yall-fish-fish-meme-gif-7279072448778168854

like in mine an A- is a 4.0, but in others its a 3.5

https://tenor.com/view/daddy-daddy-japanese-japanese-dance-tyranno-dance-japanese-guys-dancing-gif-3023694564804929606

esp in g10

in g11 they have a semblance of grading standards that they have to adhere to

[gilded copper]

literally pay to win

buy them all newest ifone

[knotty ocean]

i had the equivalent of a c in g11 semester 1 for like a year and a half

in french

i realized recently my avg that sem was an a in french

i went to my teacher and asked her to fix it and like after 3 days of annoying her she changed it to a b cuz like apparently she graded based on effort partially that term and i was kind of shit during class 😭

but like how did u give me a c equivalent

when my avg in the exams was like an a

[frail thistle]

skibidi skibidi on the wall

[gilded copper]

personal bias shouldnt be in grades

condolences

[knotty ocean]

i would also try to fuck up my grades if i was a teacher so i understand why she didnt raise it to an a but like how did she fuck it up so bad it became a c

😭

i was grinding ecs in class that entire year so ig it's somewhat fair

[gilded copper]

sacrificing an a to grind ecs

peak

[knotty ocean]

i hope ut algo fucks up the academic index calculation so my class rank becomes negative and then automatically resets so im in the 100th percentile

like nuclear gandhi from civillization

[gray ivy]

do we know what time it comes out?

[gilded copper]

supposedly 5pm

but just wait for email

[knotty ocean]

UT's IT infrastructure is so terrible

[echo orchid]

5pm what time zone

[knotty ocean]

CT

like u wouldnt expect a school ranked #7 for CS to have such a shitty portal full of random leaks and shit

[tribal fractal]

The only reason I applied is because Texas has good economic growth.

[vapid heron]

😭

tf

[knotty ocean]

UIUC portal displays the same level of CS competence as the overall school

🙏

goated

[frail thistle]

nah

• udub is also ranked #7 for cs, and their portal is PURE html

[knotty ocean]

UW Seattle portal is also terrible

yeah

[frail thistle]

• umd is ranked #17 for cs, and this year you could portal astro to see your results over an hour before decisions dropped by going into inspect element and intercepting network packets

[gray ivy]

so 3pm pt and 6pm et?

[knotty ocean]

@frail thistle i've been logged out of it for the past 2 months because their password reset process requires you to join a zoom call with your govt id

😭

[frail thistle]

💀

huh

yeah udub is braindead

[knotty ocean]

yeah

why do they make u grind like a pig just to regain access to ur account

😭

who the fuck is hijacking app portals

[frail thistle]

have u seen

umd's

not only is the portal ass but you could portal astro your way into seeing decisions

💀

[knotty ocean]

nah i overslept on nov 1st and only had time to finish my purdue app

💀

[knotty ocean]

lmao

that's hilarious

[frail thistle]

if u went into inspect

and intercepted

a network packet

it would tell u whether u got in

before it dropped

💀

[knotty ocean]

how do u fuck up this badly

actually

[muted loom]

LOL

[knotty ocean]

i think high school webdev projects have better security

[frail thistle]

tbf

it was super obscure

u went into inspect

then network

then refreshed

and one of the many packets there

if u scrolled into it

had ur decision

[muted loom]

Still terrible security x_x

[knotty ocean]

i tried to bypass the login page on my friend's project once

and i couldnt

[frail thistle]

lmaoo

i treid the trick with GT

and it didnt work

it didnt with UT either

[knotty ocean]

purdue portal is watertight this year

last year u could tell if u got in based on if you had the option to cancel your application

for some ppl it disappeared a day or two before the decision notification day

i saw a shit ton of portal astro speculation on collegeconfidential but it all turned out to be wrong

[frail thistle]

purdue

was rough this year

every school was rough

UMD rejected a ton of insanely qulaified instate applicants

purdue butchered out of state applicants

[knotty ocean]

yea 2007 was a baby boom

[frail thistle]

yuh

[knotty ocean]

yea i know ioi qualifier guy

he got deferred from purdue cs

he got uiuc pure cs

which has like a 3% ar

mung chiang doing some crazy work

this year

[frail thistle]

lmao

ridiculous

[knotty ocean]

i think he wants to turn purdue into princeton

cuz he was there before

💀

[frail thistle]

ioi participant in past years was probably enough for MIT alone

if he wrote good essays id say he still has a pretty high chance of getting in

[knotty ocean]

nah he didnt participate, he made it to camp

[frail thistle]

ohhh

[knotty ocean]

but didnt make the team

he's indian tho

so insane competition

[brave bay]

nah man
ik a guy maybe 2 years ago ioi silver got rejected from MIT

[frail thistle]

camp still used to be nearly enough for MIT but this year shit is so competitive

[frail thistle]

were his essays and lors ass

[brave bay]

but maybe all he did was ioi his other stuff was very ehh

[knotty ocean]

mit randomly defers imo golds sometimes

so yea

[frail thistle]

idk

college admission is weird

[frail thistle]

ive never heard of an imo gold

rejected from MIT

[knotty ocean]

ik someone who got into mit with an oly, she said she knew quite a few imo golds that didnt get in

in previous years

apparently they rejected half of the imo golds that applied one year

😭

[frank halo]

what's more competitive

cockrell oos or gtech oos

[knotty ocean]

cockrell by far

cuz gtech doesnt have autoadmit

[wanton flower]

autoadmit does not apply to cockrell, only to the cola

[knotty ocean]

sry not autoadmit

90% instate reservation

is what i meant to say

[frank halo]

true but gtech is like 7% for most engineering majors oos

[maiden ridge]

Apparently they released results?

[wanton flower]

they havent

[knotty ocean]

not yet

[knotty ocean]

u got cornell?

[maiden ridge]

My friend got his

[maiden ridge]

Yea

[wanton flower]

when??

[knotty ocean]

grats bro insane

[maiden ridge]

Thank you :)

Good luck to yall

[frail thistle]

if u got ED cornell

[frank halo]

[frail thistle]

why r u still applying to UT

[maiden ridge]

Nono i didnt

[frail thistle]

oh

[maiden ridge]

I just have a lot of friends who did

[frail thistle]

[knotty ocean]

😭

[maiden ridge]

Apparently some got theirs 2 hours ago

[wanton flower]

i havent seen anything about this anywhere

[frank halo]

just checked, nothing for me

[knotty ocean]

nothing yea

prolly coming out in batches

every hour or so

[wanton flower]

it doesn't seem like anyones gotten a decision though

there's nothing about it on cc or the reddit

[knotty ocean]

what's the time in texas

idk

[wanton flower]

2:46 pm rn

[maiden ridge]

Right now is 2:46

[knotty ocean]

yea ok idk

[maiden ridge]

Yea

[wanton flower]

we've got like 2-3 hrs to go probably

[knotty ocean]

evening means we should expect 5 pm

huh

ngl if i get UT

i'm insta-committing

i'll take an acceptance as a sign from god that my destiny lies in austin 🙏

[frail thistle]

idc if i get in or not

[gilded copper]

if i get ut

[frail thistle]

bc im 95% sure

a human isnt

reading

my application

[gilded copper]

99% chance im going

[frail thistle]

lmao

[knotty ocean]

yea like the chance of getting in is so small even if i get uiuc or smth ranked slightly higher i can't pass up the opportunity if i got in

🙏

[knotty ocean]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAOdRafoqSg

watch this

very interesting

tbh this year

i think they probably used an ai model to score the personal achievement index

there was a lawsuit

where they outlined their entire admissions process

in detail

https://www.utsystem.edu/sites/default/files/news/assets/kroll-investigation-admissions-practices.pdf

it's prolly changed quite a bit but i think it's still very similar

cuz they still state on their site that they only consider class rank and sat in terms of academics

[shrewd fractal]

we need to sue like every school holy shit

[knotty ocean]

unc was also sued

idk where their doc is

[shrewd fractal]

good to know

[knotty ocean]

harvard released their reading procedure

[shrewd fractal]

bro what

i wish i knew this

[knotty ocean]

https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.thecrimson.com/pdf/2018/10/29/1333554.pdf

[frail thistle]

5 big booms for college lawsuits

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

BOOOOOOOOOM 🤑

[shrewd fractal]

I agree

[knotty ocean]

harvard's criteria are kind of vague tho

like 1. seems achievable by a lot of ppl

but in reality you can only get 1. if u did an olympiad

or something on that level

like insane intl competition type shit

[shrewd fractal]

magna potential is not that hard whatever that is

[gilded copper]

hop on valorant and become radiant

[knotty ocean]

99% of ppl with national awards dont get 1.

like everyone is 2

[frail thistle]

they dont give a 1 to anyone

[frail thistle]

shit

[knotty ocean]

nah if you have an olympiad medal

[frail thistle]

immortal

do u think that counts

🙏

[knotty ocean]

and perfect grades

you qualify

[gilded copper]

lowkey i think its still notable

write it on ur commonapp activities

lmao

[frail thistle]

i had too many science fair awards to put my val immortal on common app

i swear on my life

i was gonna

[knotty ocean]

ong?

[frail thistle]

then i had no space

💀

ong

[knotty ocean]

lmao

[shrewd fractal]

2 2 4 2 ?

if i were to grade myself

[frail thistle]

i had no space

😧

[knotty ocean]

goated

[gilded copper]

gyatt bro

[frail thistle]

i had to put conferences in EC's too

bc awards is capped at 5

😧

what the skibidi

[frail thistle]

ppl who get

everything 2

and one 3 or 4

basically in athletics

when the documents released

had a 43% chance

of admission

[knotty ocean]

i had 4 natl level awards from the same comp and 1 random school award to fill space

😭

[frail thistle]

sheesh

[shrewd fractal]

my harvard interview went insanely well here’s hoping 🙏🙏

[frail thistle]

my harvard interview was good

everything else was alright

hopefully my itnerview drags up my mid essays

to slot me at a 2 for personality

and i get lucky

[knotty ocean]

ik a guy who got brutalized during his mit interview

like the interviewer straight up told him he was cooked

[frail thistle]

my mit interviewer told me i reminded him of his granddaughter

and said that we would get along well

[gilded copper]

how...

[shrewd fractal]

that’s wholesome ngl lol

[faint rampart]

bro is a professional interviewee

[frail thistle]

dude

[knotty ocean]

first thing his interviewer asked what olympiad he had done

[frail thistle]

am i not an interview demon

[knotty ocean]

😭

[frail thistle]

ew

[faint rampart]

[frail thistle]

😭

[frail thistle]

@faint rampart solo leveling is so peak bro

[knotty ocean]

[knotty ocean]

i remember hearing you can get into ut honors but not the main college

[gilded copper]

what

then what u do

[knotty ocean]

it's a separate evaluation

so some people got rejected from ut but got into ut honors

😭

[faint rampart]

huh wtf

how

[knotty ocean]

ut is so bizarre bro i stg

[knotty ocean]

cuz it's done by a different committee

or something

they do it at the same time as the regular app

[gilded copper]

ut's bizzare adventures

[knotty ocean]

i think everyone has an equal chance at ut

regardless of how cracked they are

it's like squid game

[gilded copper]

50/50 yes or no ahh

[shrewd fractal]

i would do squid game for some of the schools i’m applying to ngl

[frail thistle]

ok

so

i knwo for this year

ut added a new cs + x program

which is

[knotty ocean]

wtf

[frail thistle]

an integrated degree inside CS

[knotty ocean]

really?

[frail thistle]

for

yes

cs neuro cs history cs ling

are the only 3

but

cs + x is classified as an honors program

and when i emailed the admissions office

[knotty ocean]

o

[frail thistle]

they told me that

the cs + x and regular UT admissions would happen at the same time

[knotty ocean]

💀

[frail thistle]

so

its honors + regular decision

under one panel

its wack brah

[frail thistle]

they didnt do a cs math

they didnt do a cs bio

they didnt do a cs-econ
