[winter cove]

idk, academia seems really cool but it takes a looong time to start making money

SWE seems cool. quant is interesting but i dont rlly want to sell out

[spark haven]

yeah and even then the money is kinda small

def a passion thing

[winter cove]

but i love data science which is why i would do quant

[vernal dock]

im p sure you can get quant job from jhu

ik ppl in consulting teams or investment teams doing that

like investment banking analyst

[winter cove]

or CE jobs

[vernal dock]

theres a lot of investment/consulting teams

[winter cove]

but ive heard that EECS @ yale is mostly CS and less EE

[rigid gale]

my roommate is bme and econ and got a goldman offer so

i however... have nothing 😭💔

[vernal dock]

wait is your roommate in one of those investment teams

like salant or nest or whatever

how are ppl getting internships from those companies for summer 2026 already?? genuinely how??

i mean im premed so this doesnt apply to me but im still curious

[restive brook]

rejected

no shot broskies

[neat linden]

someone just told me that quant is using stats to analyze markets

[vernal dock]

i applied ED here LMAO

[rigid gale]

i feel like an underpaid corporate slave

but i am a workaholic so i 100% knew what i was getting into

i heard premed here overprepares you for med school

[rigid gale]

okay if im gonna be honest im too lazy

i thought coming here it would get better

but its worse

[proper gale]

my yale interviewer went from art to electrical engineering at yale and now he does investment banking

[rigid gale]

[winter cove]

[vernal dock]

im like kinda struggling

i def made like a 40 on the second

[rigid gale]

ur in physics 1 now?

[vernal dock]

bruh i hate that the midterms are 7:50 in the morning

yeah spring is only physics 1 AL

[rigid gale]

i hated physics 1 cuz the formula sheet they gave was dog shit

[vernal dock]

i want to get it out of the way really quick

was physics 2 better

i heard physics 2 was better

[rigid gale]

by far

im ee so that may be biases

[vernal dock]

how so i need some hope

[rigid gale]

but u can make ur own formula sheet

[vernal dock]

i heard physics 2 bio was easier to get an A

oh yeah ik you get a cheat sheet

[rigid gale]

oh ur bio

[vernal dock]

mhm

[rigid gale]

idk if the same applied to bio since i was eng

[serene otter]

This is crazy

My life is a delusion

[rigid gale]

the eng professor for physics 2 is so goated tho

[serene otter]

It's diabolical

[vernal dock]

omg the physics 1 bio prof is known to be a premed killer

[rigid gale]

who?

[vernal dock]

marriage

[rigid gale]

oh help

[vernal dock]

hes not even married

[rigid gale]

my ra was telling me that during her physics 1 midterm

theres a bunch of buttons and one of them should give u ur major

or maybe thats only for bme

idk

[fathom estuary]

what the button look like

Can u show

[leaden echo]

hold up

[keen knot]

im pretty sure thats only for bme

cause bme is the only major they look at

[leaden echo]

oh ok yeah makes sense

[keen knot]

we get to choose our majors after the end of first year

or earlier if u got AP credits to skip some of the basic classes

[leaden echo]

ed ppl do they still send speakers

[nimble flame]

Speakers???

Finally a school with a goated acceptance package

[leaden echo]

I KNOW

[gaunt swift]

LMAO

[proper gale]

I mean that's higher than the real one

[keen knot]

yeah

I havent used mine at all 😭 its just sitting on my desk

[flint apex]

Lol when do they send it?

[keen knot]

took like 2-3 weeks for mine to arrive

others get it earlier

depends where you are

even tho im 40 minutes away from the school lmao

[jagged ore]

omg got in somehow my essay was so bad

[nimble flame]

Real 😭

[jagged ore]

im getting into unis where i send my worst essays make it make sense

[flint apex]

I only applied because they extended the deadline

[covert wind]

what percent of people get waitlisted from JHU BME?

[keen knot]

If yall are curious, this is it

[nimble flame]

Ngl that's actually based

[jagged ore]

thats in the admit package???

[flint apex]

That's cool

[keen knot]

theres other stuff too

[nimble flame]

I probably won't ever use it but at least I'll have a speaker 💀

[jagged ore]

omg what

[nimble flame]

Better than a flag I'll never put up

[keen knot]

"other stuff" as in a patch

and then u get ur admission letter

physically in a folder

[shut kestrel]

REAL BRO

REALLLLLLL

[jagged ore]

other than this i only got into berk so far so it lowk sad it was just the letter, tiny flag, and a tiny booklet

[shut kestrel]

ME TOO

[nimble flame]

Literally UMich fr

[keen knot]

[leaden echo]

YAY

[sacred ivy]

[leaden echo]

wait are you srs

[oak stag]

I’m BME if you have any questions

[vernal dock]

bme+premed are the ones breaking the curve

[shut kestrel]

okay

how do i get into JHU

is JHU good? its a #6 on usnews but what is JHU

[marsh lichen]

it’s $91k a year for undergrad 😭😭 idk i’m definitely leaning towards my state school solely because of aid

does jhu ever reconsider aid packages? my parents own a business and our tax documents make us look rich 😭

[pseudo path]

i got in woohoo

[fringe dragon]

how is it overall? is there grade deflation

[kind epoch]

Congratulations!!!!!

[oak stag]

It’s worth asking but I don’t know how much they would give

[shut kestrel]

yeah im probs going to berk because im too poor for JHU

[oak stag]

It’s now the worst but you definitely have to work to get A’s

[marsh lichen]

yeah i’ll probably go to georgia tech for bme which is still fire (unless i get into some of my schools next week)

[fringe dragon]

ah gotcha how are the professors

also how many bme kids are there?

[oak stag]

They’re pretty cool and knowledgeable

[oak stag]

In my class, I think there’s about 120?

[shut kestrel]

i got into JHU for history

my sup was so bad

idk what they want

[fringe dragon]

ooh okay

[gaunt swift]

is jhu business even good

[shut kestrel]

jhu has business???

[pseudo path]

they dont got undergrad business school

i did econ in arts and sciences

[gaunt swift]

idk i assumed gold appplied business bc he has ross in his name

[pseudo path]

im tempted to go jhu over ross ngl

[gaunt swift]

is ross ur top choice

[pseudo path]

well i got in and it was

[shut kestrel]

what do u wanna do

[pseudo path]

but now i actually have to think

[gaunt swift]

what other schools r u waiting for

[shut kestrel]

is JHU actually a #6

[pseudo path]

asset management or something in that space

[shut kestrel]

i have imposter syndrome

[shut kestrel]

ME TOO BRo

i want alternative assets

[pseudo path]

same lmao

[gaunt swift]

its really good for premed and engineering

[pseudo path]

yeah that was a reason why i applied

i figured it owuld be easier to get in for smth business related

since theyre still building their business school

and prob would want people to go to their business school after bachelors

[pseudo path]

damn what a coincidence

[gaunt swift]

ohh

[gaunt swift]

interesting

they could potentially have a stacked business proram

ur in the early stages

[pseudo path]

not physically building ofc but like building reputation

[pseudo path]

yeah

its an "investment"

lmao

[gaunt swift]

do u have better aid at jhu than ross

[pseudo path]

worse actually 💀

jhu is like 10k more

[shut kestrel]

id go to ross

are u OOS?

or IS

[pseudo path]

oos

[shut kestrel]

i got berk business so no point in going to JHU

[gaunt swift]

@pseudo path did u apply penn

[shut kestrel]

i wanna go to JHU

[gaunt swift]

haas

[shut kestrel]

if only berk wasnt as good

[pseudo path]

nope

[gaunt swift]

no other schools ur waiting for?

[pseudo path]

oh yeah berk is great

[pseudo path]

well some

like georgetown msb

but no real big hitters

maybe cornell but i didnt do the business school

[gaunt swift]

cas?

[pseudo path]

Cals lol

[mild jungle]

What's jhu acceptance rate?

[pseudo path]

prob around 5-6%

[mild jungle]

jesus

[flint apex]

Probably like 5% for rd

Yeah

[mild jungle]

how tf i get in

lol

[pseudo path]

how did i get in

[flint apex]

Idk how either my essays were bad

[pseudo path]

same

[vernal dock]

I’m wondering that too

[shut kestrel]

4.1% rd

[shut kestrel]

real bro

[winter cove]

it was 4% rd i think

[shut kestrel]

1752 letters for 41.5k applicants

[leaden echo]

wow

[nimble flame]

That's bonkers

[mild jungle]

Brooo

Wtf

[shut kestrel]

whats ur acceptances so far

ur results?

[winter cove]

[mild jungle]

UF honors, UMich, UVA, washu, JHU, Purdue, gatech

[shut kestrel]

literally too good?

[winter cove]

zamnnnn

[mild jungle]

Waitlisted cmu (I applied scs robotics lol)

[shut kestrel]

whats ur waitlist wtf

[mild jungle]

[shut kestrel]

UR LITERALLY TOO GOOOOOD????

[winter cove]

zamnnn

[shut kestrel]

UR LITERALLY TOO GOOD WTF

[mild jungle]

Oh I forgot to add rejected mit

Bruh

Lol

[winter cove]

twin

its ok we have other t10s

[mild jungle]

It’s fine

[winter cove]

yale & jhu > mit

[mild jungle]

MIT wants a specific kind of student

Idt that’s me

[proven radish]

juan hopkins

sry

lowk forgot i applied to this schol

[neat gyro]

I spelled the college name wrong and i got in 😭

[sour badger]

Rejected

[sour badger]

Fun

[bold solstice]

if ur asian you get in

do not come here🙏

[warped bluff]

this is how I cope for getting rejected

[bold solstice]

gooddd good

only t10 cuz of research money

[proper gale]

I know it’s salty but like I swear jhu being TO is fucking me over

[pseudo path]

hows the economics program

[proper gale]

15% extra applicants this year 😭😭

[bold solstice]

not badd there’s a small but dedicated IB cohort that do pretty well

[pseudo path]

is it hard to maintain a good gpa

[bold solstice]

for econ nahhj

anyg humanities is chill

[pseudo path]

damn

im tempted to go hopkins over ross ngl

but the issue is like target vs nontarget

or like low target

[bold solstice]

tru tru

honestly if u value campus life at all pick ross

[pseudo path]

interesting

is there not much campus life

[bold solstice]

rn the whole campus is under construction so we’re out a library and peaceful sleep which doesnt rlly matter cuz the premed majority stays up studying and the only social inways are ethnicity specific cliques and the 5 relevant frats

[pseudo path]

do i have to stay up studying as an econ major...

[bold solstice]

nahhh the econ majors gets a life and most of the athletes, but ull forever have to justify why u didnt study something health adjacent at the #2 premed school

[vernal dock]

Econ major is 40 credits 😭😭 ppl usually double major in smth if they’re Econ

[pseudo path]

oh

lmao

i might do econ and math

[vernal dock]

Ngl you should pick Ross

Ross is good

[pseudo path]

😔

see heres the thing

[vernal dock]

And umich is really lovely

[pseudo path]

i was all pro ross before

[vernal dock]

Lively

[pseudo path]

but now idk

[vernal dock]

Why lol

Do you have good aid here

[pseudo path]

no 💀

[vernal dock]

Yeah go to Ross LMAO

[pseudo path]

dyk how competitive it is here

[vernal dock]

That’s a common combo

[vernal dock]

Where? At Ross?

[pseudo path]

no jhu

bc ik ross is ultra competitive

[vernal dock]

I mean I’m not an Econ major so idrk

There are consulting teams here

Consulting and investment teams

You build connections there and I see ppl getting internships at Deloitte, McKinsey, Bain, Goldman Sachs

And some others idk at the top of my head

[pseudo path]

yeah that sounds good

idk i feel like jhu overall reputation better but ross reputation is better

im in a dilemma rn

[echo jay]

Hi gold

[pseudo path]

hi 💀

[echo jay]

LMFAOAOA

[vernal dock]

Is money an issue for you? How much of a significant difference is it between Ross and JHU?

[pseudo path]

not exactly an issue

they're pretty much comprable

[echo jay]

listen i lowkey would say ross...

[vernal dock]

I mean a lot of JHU is premeds and stem

[echo jay]

because both schools are great

[echo jay]

^

[pseudo path]

yeah thats the opinion that ive been hearing a lot

[vernal dock]

So idk how competitive JHU will be in business or Econ or whatever

I’d honestly go with Ross

A lot more attention in medicine and stem

[pseudo path]

mhm

[vernal dock]

JHU isn’t a bad option for Econ at all I just think you’d have a better time at Ross

[gaunt swift]

@vernal dock r u premed

[vernal dock]

Yup

Neuro major

[pseudo path]

the other thing is that ive heard that u dont declare a major until the end of a sophomore year

[gaunt swift]

gl

i remember asking u for a pic of ur speaker

[vernal dock]

Nope end of freshman year

I just declared mine today

As neuroscience

[pseudo path]

oh interesting

[pseudo path]

so if i wanted to switch career options could i declare any major at the end of my freshman year

or are competitive majors locked away

[vernal dock]

Not BME

Any major that isn’t BME

That’s the only major that’s real competitive

[leaden echo]

real

screw mit

[cosmic oak]

so i know they admit by major, but if you're rejected as a bme student, are you still considered for the second major they have everyone select in commonapp?

like i applied bme as my first choice major, and medicine, science, and the humanities or smt similar to that as my second choice major

how does that work at jhu since they only admit by major for bme?

[vernal dock]

Yes, this

They evaluate you if you’re a good fit for that school in general just not BME they’re completely separate

[cosmic oak]

okok that makes sense

bc i saw smth on reddit (doom scrolling post rejection of course) and thought i may have misunderstood it

so i wanted to ask

[storm bison]

waitlisted from jhu as intl for cs

mayube im not absolute garbage

[mystic thunder]

It is 4%.

[mystic thunder]

Reposting my image I feel so influential

[mystic thunder]

My friend got BME

He says he’s gonna do Caltech instead tho

[storm bison]

how do i concince every1 who got in to chose another school

[pseudo path]

people are doing a pretty good job of that for me already lmao

[storm bison]

jhu is trash 😡

school is a scam

[winter cove]

did u get in jhu

[pseudo path]

yeah

[winter cove]

go wherevers cheapest tbh

[storm bison]

congrats tho

[winter cove]

but also if ur doing econ why did u apply jhu

[pseudo path]

both prices are literally around the same

[winter cove]

lol

[pseudo path]

im doing finance

[winter cove]

is jhu a target for finance

[pseudo path]

but i figured it would be easier to get into jhu since their econ program isnt as strong

as a good chance if i didnt get into any other good schools

but now i got ross

[winter cove]

cause if theyre same price

[pseudo path]

nope

[winter cove]

ross is 100% more worth it

[storm bison]

jhu was ur safety? 😭

[pseudo path]

not a safety ofc

[winter cove]

but like a backup reach

[pseudo path]

but a decent gamble

which paid off

[winter cove]

its like yale for stem

lots of kids REA yale/pton and then RD mit

[storm bison]

Stick to ross for me 🥹

[pseudo path]

the other thing i liked was i didnt have to declare a major until end of freshman year

[storm bison]

my future children will be indebted to u

[pseudo path]

so if i wanted to pivot to smth else

[winter cove]

are you waiting on ivies

[pseudo path]

could be better than being at another school

[pseudo path]

not rlly

[winter cove]

wharton? sterns not an ivy but still

wharton wouldnt be much cheaper than ross tho

[pseudo path]

no wharton

[winter cove]

stern might be

[pseudo path]

got waitlisted stern

[winter cove]

rip

ah

bro nyu is so dumb

why do u waitlist ed

makes 0 sense

[pseudo path]

fr fr

[winter cove]

any chance to get off it?

• would u go if u got off?

[pseudo path]

prob not

[pseudo path]

honestly prob not

but ill have to see the price

[winter cove]

wait so ross seems like the decision

any other rds

or cheaper options

also congrats on all ur acceptances btw! i feel like in every thread ur alway accepted

[pseudo path]

rn the main reason im considering hopkins is if i want to pivot since it provides a better opportunity to go into smth other than business

[winter cove]

bc, mich, jhu

[winter cove]

true

[pseudo path]

and also overall reputation is better

[winter cove]

but really only if you want to pivot to stem

[pseudo path]

still waiting on georgetown mcdonough

[winter cove]

ah

[pseudo path]

might go there over ross because per capital placement is better

[winter cove]

prefer over ross?

[pseudo path]

id have to think about that

[winter cove]

if u go gtown tho u def cant pivot

do u see urself pivoting to stem at jhu?

i mean tbf mich still has very strong stem

[pseudo path]

idk if i go jhu id prob do econ + ams

[winter cove]

ah

[pseudo path]

which i think is pretty strong

[winter cove]

yeah i applied ams for jhu

[pseudo path]

the issue is the lack of recruiting on campus

and also placement is def worse

bc also less people are applying to firms

[winter cove]

could u not do econ + am @ ross?

[pseudo path]

nah ross is solely bba

[winter cove]

damn

[pseudo path]

i can prob add a minor or double major

but idk if its worth it

[winter cove]

def will be time consuming

[pseudo path]

bc ik at hopkins the econ degree is pretty few credits

which makes it easier to double major

[winter cove]

have u tried to talk to ross students

• did u apply yale

[pseudo path]

nah i only did cornell

[winter cove]

damn

look at me trying to recruit for yale

[pseudo path]

was thinking about yale but decided against it

[pseudo path]

my friend got into yale for math lol

[winter cove]

i feel like we would have what ur looking for with econ +

[pseudo path]

a bit late now

but yeah

[winter cove]

yeah

overall i do think your options are great

[pseudo path]

man tough choices

[winter cove]

and whatever you choose will be the right decision

[pseudo path]

id prob have to hustle more at hopkins ngl

[winter cove]

mich will definitely be the more fun school

[pseudo path]

yup

[shut kestrel]

how did i get into JHU but WL UCLA

[winter cove]

and more traditional experience-SEC school, big sports

[shut kestrel]

how did i get rejected CMC and Pomona too

they literally have 3x the rd acc rate

[winter cove]

jhu will have more one on one time with professors but if ur not doing research that might not be super helpful

• u could always do jhu undergrad then ross grad school

[pseudo path]

yeah i heard jhu professors are more helpful

[pseudo path]

nah if i do grad id prob not go ross

unless my gpa is subpar

[winter cove]

try making a #954425230896545792

i see

wharton grad school?

or hbs?

[pseudo path]

tbh nowadays for business school

the only main ones that r rlly worth are hbs, wharton, and sbs

[winter cove]

i see

[pseudo path]

u can make a case for some others but those are the highest roi

[winter cove]

sbs prob super expensive tho

[pseudo path]

and even hbs is facing unemployment increases after graduation

[winter cove]

if i end up doing quant idk if i would do cs grad school or mba

but i doubt i will do quant if i go grad skl

[pseudo path]

quant i feel like u should go math phd lmao

[winter cove]

idk i dont wanna sell out

[pseudo path]

true

[gaunt swift]

full ride anywhere, where yall going

[winter cove]

yale :))

[pseudo path]

damn tough choices

prob harvard or wharton

[gaunt swift]

real

wharton harvard or ole miss

[winter cove]

im also poor so i get full rides from most needblind skls

if you asked me like 3 months ago i would probably have said harvard

[pseudo path]

damn

its always harvard

[winter cove]

or columbia

idk getting a likely to yale has made me super attached to the school

[pseudo path]

columbia is kinda losing its luster for some people rn tho

esp funding cuts

[winter cove]

their marketing techniques worked!

[pseudo path]

and some scandals

[winter cove]

yeah thats why it would b my answer 3 months ago

[pseudo path]

i would be super attached if i got a likely letter too lmao

[winter cove]

not now lol

[shut kestrel]

HOW DID I GET INTO THIS SCHOOL?

LUCK?

WHAT

[winter cove]

idk just really makes u feel like the school wants you

[pseudo path]

what u apply for

[winter cove]

and its prob cause they do

[pseudo path]

or looking to do

[shut kestrel]

history/classics

[pseudo path]

oh nice

[shut kestrel]

i got rejected from CMC/pomona and WL from UCLA

[winter cove]

idk i feel like the school is the perfect fit for me

[shut kestrel]

[winter cove]

i js wish it was in boston

[shut kestrel]

i thought my CMC/pomona apps were rly good

like rly good

so wtf???

[winter cove]

but also if it was in boston it would have a much diff culture

[pseudo path]

bro i got deferred and waitlisted from villanova

and got in here

💀

[flint apex]

Rejected cmc and waitlisted from Amherst Williams Bowdoin

[shut kestrel]

LMAO WHAT

???? WHY IS IT SO RANDOM

[pseudo path]

[winter cove]

in the winter

[winter cove]

huh???

[pseudo path]

yeah

i found that out today

[winter cove]

bro villanova still hasnt sent me my fin aid package

im gonna withdraw

[pseudo path]

i thought my villanova essay was peak too

[winter cove]

i got in 3 months ago

[flint apex]

I guess liberal arts schools and Hopkins don’t look for the same things

[pseudo path]

and my jh essay was mid

[pseudo path]

ig so

[winter cove]

i think sat score mightve nerfed me for jhu

[flint apex]

Oh also waitlist ucla

[winter cove]

shouldve applied TO

[pseudo path]

but ive yet to hear from georgetown

and thats a liberal arts school

so

i might be cooked

[pseudo path]

they seem to care a good bit about scores

u did math right

[winter cove]

yeah

740 math score

[pseudo path]

oh

[winter cove]

might not have been the wisest

[pseudo path]

[winter cove]

but on their website they made it seem like they hated TO ppl

[pseudo path]

oh yeah

[shut kestrel]

did u not get in

[winter cove]

nah

[shut kestrel]

WHAT

[winter cove]

rej

[shut kestrel]

[pseudo path]

[pseudo path]

damn

pretty blunt

[flint apex]

Wow

[winter cove]

yeah

i preferred mits rej letter

u can be short and nice

The Admissions Committee has completed its review of your application. I am very sorry to tell you that you were not admitted to the MIT Class of 2029.

Please understand that this is in no way a judgment of you as a student or as a person, since our decision has more to do with the applicant pool than anything else—many of our applicants are not offered admission simply because we don’t have enough space in our entering class. This year we had more than 29,000 candidates for fewer than 1,400 offers of admission. Since all of our decisions are made at one time and all available spaces have been committed, all decisions are final.

We truly appreciate your interest in MIT and wish you the best in all your future endeavors.

[flint apex]

Yeah

[paper dirge]

Did Peabody come out

[pseudo path]

hi ryan booger

[paper dirge]

Hi gold

[pseudo path]

[paper dirge]

Umich…

[pseudo path]

🦧

[flint apex]

Berkeley or JHU?

[pseudo path]

what major

[flint apex]

Physics

[pseudo path]

which one cheaper

[flint apex]

Berkeley since I’m in state

[pseudo path]

oh

berk def

[winter cove]

do u want to be oos

and how much cheaper

lowk tho berk would be more fun

[pseudo path]

exactly

[winter cove]

and ur not BME so its not like OMG CHOOSE JHU

[flint apex]

Barley cheaper and it does seem more fun

[pseudo path]

if i was umich in state id choose umich

but like now its complicated

[flint apex]

I guess I’ll visit both

[pseudo path]

im gonna wait for georgetown

then if i get in do a jhu georgetown trip

[winter cove]

when does gtown come out

[pseudo path]

next week

prob tues/wed

[mystic thunder]

My W&L rej letter was pretty kind

[somber wraith]

i kinda wish there were more premeds on this server/community

like maybe im just lurking the threads where CS/engineering majors are at

(mit, cmu, berkeley, gtech, uiuc, etc)

but it rly feels like there's a dearth of premeds on this server

[vernal dock]

jhu campus isnt worth visiting there's construction EVERYWHERE

like construction is a nightmare here right now

[nimble flame]

That's definitely unfortunate :/

[vernal dock]

we don't have a library

[nimble flame]

What???

That's wild 💀

[chilly plover]

good to know, i just got rejected

😓

there goes my $70

[spice hemlock]

wtf

[nimble flame]

Be honest do you genuinely hate it there

[spice hemlock]

I’ve heard questionable things about jhu environment

💀 I’m curious too

[oak stag]

Yes and no

[neat linden]

can I ask what you're studying? I've only seen STEM people hating it and I'm doing IR so def not stem

[neat linden]

have they finished the new student center?

[oak stag]

BME premed

[oak stag]

It’ll be done this fall

[neat linden]

Bless up

[oak stag]

The library will probably still be under construction tho

[neat linden]

everyone i talk to from hopkins is doing premed and wants to die but i haven't heard much bad about humanities

[neat linden]

Do you know about the like center for democracy or whatever that new building is?

[oak stag]

It’s at the back of campus and still under construction

I don’t know anyone who has stuff in that building

[neat linden]

alright alright it just sounded cool but all the stuff was under construction when i visited last summer lmfao

[oak stag]

It’s different I think

[neat linden]

alright fire

also do you ever go off campus? there was one nice ish street nearby when i visited but the rest seemed kinda rough - mightve just gone to the wrong places tho

[oak stag]

Yes! Me and my friends have gone to places like Inner Harbor, Hampden, and we’re trying to plan a trip to NYC rn

[nimble flame]

Blue jay days in the middle of the week 😭

[pseudo path]

luckily i have spring break so im off the whole week of one of them

[nimble flame]

Ooh nice

[proper gale]

which dates? lowkey lazy to log into my portal 💔

[nimble flame]

April 8-9 and April 15-16

[proper gale]

ooo okok thanks!

[neat gyro]

Anyone know if jhu only sends out packages to ppl who accept their offer 😭💔

[nimble flame]

I think they're sent to everyone

[neat gyro]

Even intls?

[nimble flame]

Hmmm I would think so

Not like 100% sure though

[indigo prawn]

do ygs know if writing a letter for fin aid and sending the 2024 w2 instead of 2023 w2 will actually work in getting more aid 🥹 the two years are p drastically diff n my parents do NOTT wanna pay the amount they told me

[oak stag]

Iirc, my year, international students picked up their packages during move in

[neat gyro]

Oh so it isnt sent to everyone 😭

[neat linden]

Hopkins is paying for my flights and stuff to visit 🥳🥳

[winter cove]

yasss!!!

[nimble flame]

Nice same!!

[flint apex]

Nice!

[pseudo path]

same!

[vernal dock]

They are! It’s launching this August!

[vernal dock]

They’re still renovating the library and so many other sites

[vernal dock]

Ask the tour guide to see the library

[rigid gale]

thats diabolical

[little tendon]

niceee same 🔥🔥

[wet folio]

bro i need that speaker 💀

[neat gyro]

Apparently the speaker doesnt exist anymore...

[rigid gale]

gotta pay for construction somehow i guess

[flint apex]

Really??

[nimble flame]

Ik ED kids got it

[neat gyro]

Oh maybe not intls then :(

[vernal dock]

Naur you pick it up when you get to campus they can’t ship internationally

[neat gyro]

Aw :(

For blue jays day?

[vernal dock]

When you start school

[keen knot]

it does

[neat gyro]

Oh great

(Im so easily bribed lmao)

[pseudo path]

me too

[neat gyro]

Also is blue jays day worth going to?

[winter cove]

if you're considering

going

then probably

[keen knot]

wait do you also see admitted students day on your portal?

blue jay day is an RD only thing, but i think admitted is for both

[neat gyro]

Oh rlly?

I see both

But it seems counterintuitive to exclude half the incoming class...

[pseudo path]

well they're paying for mine

so yeah

[nimble flame]

Real that's how I feel lol

[nimble flame]

Yeah that does seem really weird

[keen knot]

and you guys are the only ones that get travel assistance

😭

[flint apex]

How do you see if they are paying for it?

[pseudo path]

u have to apply for the travel assistance

and they send u an email if u get it or not

[neat gyro]

Thats amazing omg

[flint apex]

Oh ok

[neat gyro]

That seems super counterintuitive what the heck

Do ppl not need aid from ED..?

[keen knot]

well we get regular aid lol

but I think its for marketing

[flint apex]

Is it just on the portal?

[keen knot]

to get the undecided RD students to come

[pseudo path]

its on the events part

then u gotta find the bluejay day thing

and check if it says ur eligible for travel assistance

[neat gyro]

Ohh that makes sense

Im expecting fire free merch

[rigid gale]

idr getting much free merch

[neat gyro]

Oh..

😟😐

[pseudo path]

i better get free merch

[rigid gale]

i love when admitted students visit

the dining hall food is slightly better

[neat gyro]

Oh...

[rigid gale]

unless they use a tent to give then food

[neat gyro]

So is the food typically like

Not good

😟😐

[rigid gale]

lets just say the freshman 15 didnt exist for me

but i am a picky eater so that didnt help

[nimble flame]

😭

[vernal dock]

I did not get freshman 15 either the food here is ass and yes I am a picky eater

[vernal dock]

Haha I just grab a charmar meals in a minute or buy a sandwich from Brody’s

[vernal dock]

Student center is opening up so there will be new dining options so don’t lose hope on that

[nimble flame]

Getting into JHU makes me want to do comp neuro fr

Ngl did not expect to think it was so interesting

Now I'm actually considering it

[winter cove]

comp bio seems cool but i lowk hate bio

and im scared i wont make much

[nimble flame]

Yeah that's my main worry as well haha

[winter cove]

hating bio or not making money

lol

[nimble flame]

Rn I'm like torn between comp bio/quantum computing (probably only at Harvard or Yale though)/compiler design

Not making money lol

[winter cove]

i feel like if u have a strong cs background

comp neuro is achievable

with like a data sicence minor

thats my plan - eecs w/ds minor and then grad school perhaps

[nimble flame]

Yeah I probably could

[nimble flame]

That's pretty based lol

[winter cove]

thanks lol

i feel like it opens up a lot of job pathways

that arent just quant lol because everyone who does yale cs just does quant

[nimble flame]

Rn I'm thinking math minor/double major cause it's so applicable everywhere and I love math but idrk

[winter cove]

ooh math double major seems fun

[nimble flame]

It's actually crazy to me the quant pipeline 😭

[winter cove]

its insane

everyone is doing cs+ econ or cs+math or math + econ to go to quant

[nimble flame]

Literally the only quant firm I could work at is Jane street and that's because they're a core contributor to the ocaml compiler

[winter cove]

im not tryna do quant bruh

[nimble flame]

Yeah lol

My Princeton interviewer straight up asked me if I wanted to do CS/CE to go to wall street lmao

[winter cove]

lol

[winter cove]

would math + ee be achievable?

that seems like a cool combo but pretty hard

esp at a school like jhu

but ik jhu is lenient with like gen eds

[nimble flame]

That's basically my plan but math + CE

[winter cove]

nicee

are you leaning towards one or the other

jhu/cmu

[nimble flame]

It'll probably be a bit hard but idk I think it leaves my paths open a bit

CMU easy if they give me enough money

But they won't

[winter cove]

was jhu generous>

[nimble flame]

JHU is just ridiculously cheap for me

[winter cove]

ah

[nimble flame]

Which is pretty important to me because my parents can't help

[winter cove]

oh

if ur parents cant help go to jhu fs

follow the money

idk jhus eng rankings but i know its higher ranked overall

if that helps

you can also always appeal esp since cmu and jhu are lowk peer schools

[nimble flame]

Yeah it's def t20

[nimble flame]

Yeah I'm for sure going to try

[winter cove]

i think u r going to do great no matter where u go

[nimble flame]

But tbh being in the position where JHU is my "fallback" is already incredibly privileged and I'm so so grateful

[winter cove]

but it might be a lil easier to double major at jhu

[winter cove]

yes

[rigid gale]

see i dont eat sandwiches so 😭

[fringe dragon]

how bad is the food actually? 1-10 with 10 being like ucla

[rigid gale]

thats a very high bar for 10 😭😭😭

[fringe dragon]

idk it’s the best college dorm food i could think of haha

would jhu be at least 5?

[nimble flame]

Surely it's at least a 5

[rigid gale]

it depends sometimes its a 2 and then sometimes its a like 8

but think about it freshman ur before u have a kitchen ull be skinny!

i dont know the quality of dining food this yr cuz i have a kitchen and im eating good 🤤

[fringe dragon]

😭

so freshman year it’s a 2?

[rigid gale]

no it ranges from 2-8

honestly 5-8 freshman yr cuz they had this grill station at one of the food placed they got rid up

for smth thats hot ass

[fringe dragon]

oh okay that’s not bad then

any places u recommend avoiding or going to

on campus

[rigid gale]

levering used to be really good because there was a grill station and then student government for some dumb reason was like we need a mediterranean option

and now its a ghost town cuz its trash and somehow bland

[rigid gale]

true definition if it aint broke dont fix it 😭😭😭
