All Cal States (2024-2025)

[neat swift]

i thought ED was with only one school

[rancid hare]

Yep

I did ed0 at uchicago then ed1 at Cornell then ed2 swarthmore

I did one school per round

[neat swift]

that's risky as hell

[rancid hare]

How

[hexed shore]

i mean 💀 i kinda have to tell them they be asking me abt everything

[neat swift]

what if you got into both cornell and swarthmore

[rancid hare]

No they’re in waves

[neat swift]

still

[sturdy viper]

ed0???

[rancid hare]

Like I got rejected ed0 before I applied ed 1

[neat swift]

uchicago is weird and they did some summer thing

[neat swift]

no ED1 and ED2 i mean

[rancid hare]

then deferred Cornell before I applied ed2

[sturdy viper]

oh that’s weird

[neat swift]

when did they release cornell ED1

[rancid hare]

Ed 1 decisions come out before ed2 due date for every school

[neat swift]

makes sense

[rancid hare]

Dec 12

[neat swift]

yeah and swarthmore ED2 is always the same as reg dec right

as in same date

[rancid hare]

Sorry wdym

OH yes

[neat swift]

ED2 and RD have the same due date

[rancid hare]

Yes yes

[neat swift]

which is like sometime in january or late dec

[rancid hare]

so I applied like first week of Jan

Yes exactly

[neat swift]

should've done more reach schools

[rancid hare]

should have done more targets

I’m gonna go to ucsc if I don’t get into a reach

[sturdy viper]

im sure you’ll get in somewhere good :)

[unique aurora]

All UCs are good

But good luck with the rest of your apps

[neat swift]

all UCs are R1 so pretty chill

[unique aurora]

Yeah, Merced helps complete the set

[rancid hare]

Ty friend!!

[rancid hare]

Agree I would be very happy at sc I think too

but I wanna ask a sc student about bikes if I commit

[unique aurora]

If you do come here, feel free to ask questions and I'll try to answer

[rancid hare]

Like on my tour I was huffing and puffing i wanna know if it was weird if I bought an electric bike

[rancid hare]

I def will reach out if I commit tysm for offering!

[unique aurora]

Oh yeah people have electric bikes

There's actually a company that offers electric bikes

Two really

One is a bike you can buy on discount

And one is a rental company that you can subscribe to

They have bikes all over SC

[rancid hare]

I wanna buy a bike I can take with me everywhere do a lot of kids there just have their own

I just realized I lowk have a ton of questions 😭

[unique aurora]

Yes the dorms and buildings across campus will have bike racks outside and there are usually tons since kids will bring their own

There's also a storage system at Baskin Engineering

I forget how that works though

[rancid hare]

oh that’s perf I loveee riding bikes so I like how sc is bike oriented

[unique aurora]

It is very bike friendly, I believe on a bike its about 10 minutes to downtown from campus, 15 to the beach

Something like that

[rancid hare]

Oh that’s so amazing a few of my questions are about the beach sitch too and how close everything is to campus

[unique aurora]

I'll be happy to answer them, I do have like a 5 page essay due in 2 and a half hours though, and I'm not entirely done with that, so I will have to answer those questions later. But I will answer them, ideally in #1268141849349062686 so we don't clog up the cal states.

[rancid hare]

Tysm!

[unique aurora]

Of course!

[marsh thicket]

dw it doesnt matter that much they will have to come to peace with reality if it is not in your favor... itll work out

look my parents are absolutely balistic but idec anymore cuz even though they might be mad for a while it doesnt mean its the end

[hexed shore]

yeah 🙏

[hexed shore]

LMAO mines too 💀

[strong nexus]

is it true no essays are needed for csus

[rancid hare]

Yep

[strong nexus]

sat/act too?

or is it purely gpa

[rancid hare]

Ucs and csus won’t even let u submit sat and act

Purely gpa for csus plus they give u a spot where u mark your hours of working or ecs

Ucs it’s much more complicated

[strong nexus]

alright. csus are going to be safety but im not sure. im not applying for stem so the polytechnic csus are out and i got a 3.5

not sure which csus to apply to

[rancid hare]

Certain csus should be safeties like cal poly slo may not be a safety

[strong nexus]

yeah but im not doing stem so idk if its even worth it to go

im thinking of appling to csulb but im not really sure where else

[rancid hare]

I have a 4.3ish gpa and most likely got rejected from slo idek what they’re looking for atp

[rancid hare]

SDSU is chill

[strong nexus]

i heard its just a party school lol. i guess apart from that i wouldnt be unhappy but is it apart of the csu system?

[rancid hare]

Yep sdsu is a Cali state school

[strong nexus]

do you think those two should be good enough for safety schools

[rancid hare]

No

I would regard sdsu as a target and slo as a reach/target but it all depends on ur gpa

[strong nexus]

3.5/3.8 but with decent rigor, good ecs, upward trend. mainly dont really want to go to a lower csu if im being honest

[novel monolith]

if youre not doing stem its doable

i got wl sdsu with a 4.07 csu gpa with 11aps

💀

[rancid hare]

I applied as a heavy human major to both and got rejected slo

SDSU has not given me my decision yet because of some document portal issues so idek

[novel monolith]

you dont know that tbf

[rancid hare]

Yeah true true

[novel monolith]

you might be waitlisted and theyre still releasing acceptances

[rancid hare]

I’m being a pessimist

[novel monolith]

although most are out

[rancid hare]

Yeah…

But yeah the csus I feel r super random

[novel monolith]

yeah fs

i got slo but not sdsu

[rancid hare]

Like 4.3 probs reject slo is cray

[strong nexus]

is it really that bad?💔🥀

[rancid hare]

10 aps in 2 years

300+ service hours

Like what😭

[novel monolith]

ok wait aint no way did you get rejected

i had the same rigor and your csu gpa is better than mine

and i applied to a 13% ar major at slo

[rancid hare]

I applied to poli sci which is like 17% I think maybe lower

I’m j gonna blame it on that

[novel monolith]

maybe slo has the same doc problem sdsu does for you

[rancid hare]

I feel like they would have emailed me I’ve been in contact with sdsu about it but they’ve Lowkey been like go fuck urself

[novel monolith]

oh 💀

i would send out an email to them

if you're super invested in slo

[rancid hare]

To slow

SLO

nah I mean I think I’m gonna take the L

tbh I liked the campus but it’s too hot in slo

On my tour someone fainted

[novel monolith]

oh fr????

aw hell nah

[rancid hare]

it’s boiling down there

[novel monolith]

im between ucsc and slo rn

[rancid hare]

so so hot

[novel monolith]

WHAT

isnt it near the beach

shouldnt it be temperate

[strong nexus]

is ucsc generally considered better or on the same level as ucd?

[novel monolith]

ucd is better

[strong nexus]

i would be lucky to get into either

[novel monolith]

i got wl davis tho 💔

[strong nexus]

do they admit by major?

[novel monolith]

im praying im one of those people who get into berkeley and nothing else

no clue

[rancid hare]

I also toured slo in the summer

[novel monolith]

ok thats kind of bad

[rancid hare]

Maybe that’s why but it was like 90 ish dude I was struggling

[novel monolith]

and its so isolated

omg

i fucking love the bay area the weather is so awesome

im coming right back here after college if cal doesn't clutch up

[rancid hare]

I’m based in SoCal so I feel like I know the heat but I am lucky I’m like a 5 min drive from the beach

[novel monolith]

that sounds os awesome

[rancid hare]

used to the beach wind

[novel monolith]

im like 40mins from the beach :( kinda far

that sounds so fun

[rancid hare]

But slos campus was pretty

Like all new buildings

Very neat

[novel monolith]

ucsc clears tho

oh fr

[rancid hare]

Oh for sure

I’m a ucsc glazer

[novel monolith]

what schools are you deciding on rn?

REAL

me too

[rancid hare]

DUDE I LOVE SCCCC

[novel monolith]

i wouldnt hate going there if i dont get in anywhere else

uiuc better for my major but ucsc is goated

[rancid hare]

I got into all my safeties but rn probs between bard college (liberal arts glazer too) and ucsc

[unique aurora]

On average UCD is probably gonna outrank us, though there are programs where we compete or are better

[rancid hare]

I got a nice scholarship from bard but it’s still more expensive than going to a UC

[novel monolith]

ooo

where is bard located?

[rancid hare]

Upstate ny

[novel monolith]

tbh i couldnt handle anythign non california in terms of weather

so spoiled

[rancid hare]

The campus is insanely pretty

[novel monolith]

oh damn thats so far

[marsh thicket]

u gotta ease into colder places its so much nicer in colder places

[rancid hare]

Yeah but I have family in nyc and I lived there for a hot minute

[marsh thicket]

i lived in nyc too i prefer colder places than here in cali

[novel monolith]

i visited boston schools during thanksgiving and holy shit

[rancid hare]

but I think the winters would kill me

[novel monolith]

i would go to ucsc over harvaard i cant handle cold

[rancid hare]

Valid I like having actual seasons too

[marsh thicket]

it sounds worse than it is

[rancid hare]

In nyc I could actually feel each season but in Cali it’s all lowk summer

[soft halo]

[marsh thicket]

[novel monolith]

ok but thats so awesome though

[soft halo]

[novel monolith]

fall goes crazy here

[rancid hare]

[novel monolith]

[soft halo]

omgg i want to visit bay area

[rancid hare]

Bay Area is nicer in terms of weather

[novel monolith]

[soft halo]

[rancid hare]

[soft halo]

spring and autumn 🆙🔝

[marsh thicket]

i didnt apply

[rancid hare]

the Berk campus is

[novel monolith]

90% because bay 10% because good for my mjaor

[rancid hare]

A bit rough tho

[rancid hare]

HEAVYYY

[marsh thicket]

I didnt apply because I need a good gpa

[novel monolith]

berkeley dgaf about gpa

[soft halo]

yeah i have some friends in berk shitting on it but it seems like a nice place overall

[novel monolith]

compared to others

[marsh thicket]

and dont want to be surrounded in a toxic competitive enviroment

[rancid hare]

on my berk tour there was someone crashing out in the middle of the campus like not wearing pants

Everyone on the tour was just like 🧍🧍‍♀️🧍‍♂️

[soft halo]

omfg i hear so many horror stories abt berk and the overly academic kids there

[novel monolith]

one of my friend goes there and i see her stories with like parties and student concerts and stuff

[marsh thicket]

exactly, and as academic as I am I won't put myself through that

[soft halo]

DAMNNN that sounds so nice

[marsh thicket]

We go to college for life prospects, not for weather or prestige necessarily

[rancid hare]

Does ucsc have parties

[soft halo]

hope i go to at least one party in college LOL

[novel monolith]

they have so many concerts there they have to let me in

[novel monolith]

yes in the woods

[rancid hare]

YESSS

Gonna be like Bella from twilight

[unique aurora]

Oh yeah forest raves lmao

[rancid hare]

OMG OMGGG

[unique aurora]

Yeah they have those

[soft halo]

sounds like the beginning of a horror story ngl

[novel monolith]

its more of a stoner school than a party school

[soft halo]

party in the woods

[unique aurora]

Never been to one but I've seen pics

[rancid hare]

guys that sounds so fun

[novel monolith]

source: my ucsc friend is the biggest stoner i know

[soft halo]

LMFAO

[unique aurora]

Ehh I would say the amount of smoking is not abnormal now compared to other campuses

[soft halo]

my teacher went to sc idk if that says anything or not

[marsh thicket]

it sounds fun huh

[unique aurora]

Due to the legalization of it

[rancid hare]

Does ucsc have a big party scene

[novel monolith]

oh true

[rancid hare]

Or like avg

[unique aurora]

I will say, 4/20 apparently is a big holiday, even for non smokers

[soft halo]

love it

[unique aurora]

Like even if you don't smoke, its a day to relax

[novel monolith]

i wanna sign up for the 4/21 campus tour do you think they'd let me join 🥺

[unique aurora]

Legitimately know people that have to go to conferences and stuff and are depressed that they'll miss the party

[novel monolith]

LMAO

[unique aurora]

Probably not, we're back to work that day lmao

[novel monolith]

NOOOO

💔

[unique aurora]

I would say its about average, though less frat and greek heavy like at some schools and more house party based

[rancid hare]

I saw a real live banana slug on my tour

Celebrity sighting

[novel monolith]

ME TOO

[rancid hare]

I love that tho

[novel monolith]

the group went crazy

[unique aurora]

I've only seen one sadly

[rancid hare]

I HAVE LIKE 30PICS OF THE ONE SLUG

[novel monolith]

also my dad was asking really stupid questions durign the tour im so sorry for my guide

[rancid hare]

We also saw dear

DEER

so so fun

[unique aurora]

Honestly I like it, they still can be big parties, just a bit more calm and personalized

[unique aurora]

Generally you'll see deer, raccoons, squirrels, turkeys, etc

[rancid hare]

That’s perf I don’t need a crazy rager just opportunities to socialize and meet people

[unique aurora]

I would 100% suggest partaking in clubs no matter where you go

[rancid hare]

SLUG!!!!

[rancid hare]

oh def I’m excited for all the clubs

[novel monolith]

bananer

oh yeah my friend is in this indian classical dance club

[rancid hare]

I wanna do mock trial or MUN or speech and debate but I haven’t really looked into the clubs to the schools I’ve applied to

[novel monolith]

which i didnt expect from ucsc but looks really cool

[unique aurora]

Old photo of the turkeys in front of RCC

[novel monolith]

omg

i cant believe turkeys are real

[rancid hare]

Oh my god that’s like a fully grown turkey

[novel monolith]

dinner

[rancid hare]

Dude ik they feel like fake animals

[novel monolith]

[unique aurora]

They get pretty big here lol

[unique aurora]

All awesome choices, lots of fun to be had and friends to be made

[rancid hare]

Yay! I’m a mega extrovert so I’m really excited for college 🙏

[novel monolith]

i passed through sc on the weekend too it was so pretty

[rancid hare]

Did any of you apply to sb

[novel monolith]

im a mega introvert im gonna be relying on the parties to socialize

😭

[novel monolith]

yes !! so nervous

[rancid hare]

all of my closest friends r introverts I just drag them to events with me

[novel monolith]

i was like inspect elementing the portal and stuff

[rancid hare]

me too!!

[unique aurora]

Sb is a great college also, lots of smart people, and of course, party capital for colleges in California

[rancid hare]

I refuse to do more astrology I realize it’s stressing me out

[novel monolith]

i odnt think it even counts as astrology you lowkey dont get anything from it

[rancid hare]

I don’t feel too confident about sb but I was sure I was getting rejected from sd and I got a waitlist so who knows

[novel monolith]

dont waste your time 😭

real me too

im an sd waitlist warrior

[rancid hare]

WARRIORSSA

but for sb I didn’t like the buildings v much

[novel monolith]

its suprisingly competitve now

yeah fr its so drab

i toured last spring

[rancid hare]

I like the beach aspect but the buildings didn’t like too cute

[rancid hare]

Same…

Imagine we were on all these tours together 😭

[unique aurora]

Part of it I think is because they have a housing crisis that imo is the worst of the UCs

[rancid hare]

I heard about that too

[unique aurora]

So more people applied but housing just could not be built at all

Like not even private housing

[novel monolith]

i missed the deadline to sign up for them and had to solo tour 😭

[novel monolith]

oh wtf

[rancid hare]

ohh yeah my mom was on that tour grind

[unique aurora]

It sucks because Santa Barbara is a cool place

[rancid hare]

We saw like almost every UC

except Merced and ucr

[novel monolith]

[rancid hare]

[rancid hare]

We saw Cornell, swarthmore, vassar, brown, mit, Harvard

[novel monolith]

[rancid hare]

[novel monolith]

[rancid hare]

The rumors were true

[unique aurora]

Sorry because of the squirrels?

[rancid hare]

LOLLL

[novel monolith]

my parents wanted to do mit but im not even shooting my shot 😭

[novel monolith]

well yeah and also because she's an asian parent

but mostly the squirrels

[unique aurora]

Ah ok

[novel monolith]

[rancid hare]

[rancid hare]

[novel monolith]

[rancid hare]

All my Bs r in stem classes

[novel monolith]

international studies is SO COOL though

im doing ds + intl relations

like when i get in

[rancid hare]

HALF TWINS

ds I couldn’t

[novel monolith]

fr!!!!

i got a B in my foreign policy class

[rancid hare]

ap chem and ap calc made me never wanna take a stem class again

Ap calc actually I cannot

[novel monolith]

so it wouldnt look good if i applied for it

[rancid hare]

I just can’t

[novel monolith]

omg yeah real

my calc teacher sucks

[rancid hare]

Lowkey same 😭

[novel monolith]

ik it wouldnt be bad with a different one

my class is hypothesizing she has dementia

[rancid hare]

my chem teacher is great and super accommodating plus she’s 7 years older than I am😭

[novel monolith]

thats so cool!!!

my chem h teacher was a fresh grad too

those teachers are always so nice

[rancid hare]

legit she graduated from cal tech masters last year and now she’s teaching

[novel monolith]

WOAH

[rancid hare]

I love young teachers tho they have more empathy I feel

My calc teacher is super old

[novel monolith]

yeah fs

mine too 💀💀💀💀

ok my phys teacher is super old but shes the goat

best teacher ever

[rancid hare]

I never took physics I’m grateful I didn’t

[novel monolith]

for phys

LMAOO

thats me with my 2 apush Bs

oops

my internet sucks

[novel monolith]

i waited until senior year to take it

but its fun i think

better than calc

[rancid hare]

ANYTHING is better than calc

Chem is easier than calc

for me

[novel monolith]

ima math major who sucks at math

[rancid hare]

In my school the science pipeline is ap bio 9th, ap chem 10th , ap physics 11th and apes 12

[novel monolith]

chem was super rough 😭 i took bio last year

oh wtf

[rancid hare]

but I came starting junior year

[novel monolith]

mine is the same but with honors classes

[rancid hare]

So I did ap bio 11th and ap chem 12th

[novel monolith]

and you double up on science senior / junior year

ah

i did ap bio 11th too

lowkey not a bad decision it was fun

[rancid hare]

I was the oldest in my class with all 9th graders

Lowkey it wasn’t that bad but my teacher was awful

[novel monolith]

help we had some of those in my frosh year bio h

[rancid hare]

LOLL

I got a B first sem bio

Rip

[novel monolith]

i feel so ancient in my physics which is all juniors

LMAO ME TOO

but A sem 2

[rancid hare]

TWINNN

sem 2 A😛😛

[junior hamlet]

you guys are so lucky to have so many AP class options 😭

[novel monolith]

i studied so much for apush sem1 it ruined my other classes

[rancid hare]

my only B in all of junior year 🙏🙏

[rancid hare]

we offer 17!!

[novel monolith]

so i sacrificed apush 2nd sem and did better in my other ones

[rancid hare]

no honors

[rancid hare]

If it makes u feel better I have a friend who got into Dartmouth and had double Bs in apush AND is a data science major

[novel monolith]

dang!!!!

yeah ik a guy with double Bs and he goes to cal

praying its me this year

[rancid hare]

I just am grateful ucs are only 10th and 11th so I’ll have 2 bs total for those 2 years

algebra 2 was my downfall in 10th

[novel monolith]

man i had a 4.0 frosh year 💔💔💔

[junior hamlet]

damn my school has like maybe 10 IB (pretty sure it's less) classes including art, dance, french, spanish so barely any stem

[rancid hare]

We have all those sciences, lang, lit, sem, research, ap calc ab, stats, music theory, world, apush, gov

Apaas

I’m missing some

[novel monolith]

we have a bunch so you have to ap max to stay competitive

im taking 5 aps 1 honor right now and its trenches as a sem2 senior

all nighters before tests at this point

[rancid hare]

yeah all aps this year 5 aps and speech and debate elective

[rancid hare]

me when I do an entire unit of ap chem the night before each test

[novel monolith]

omg me with psych

[rancid hare]

WE HAVE AP PSYCH

forgot that one

[novel monolith]

skip all the classes, cram the night before, and then ace the test

[rancid hare]

PERIOD

[junior hamlet]

that's nice tho bc u have a lot of options, IB u can also only do during junior and senior year so that's part of why we don't have that many but we also don't have that many honors for frosh/soph

[rancid hare]

I took it last year

[novel monolith]

they teach you about how cramming is bad in psych but ive only been cramming and doing super wll

[rancid hare]

I started studying the night before the exam and got a 5

Light work

you’ll be fine

[novel monolith]

dude yeah ib sucks for us schools

predicted grade system is also slightly sus

[junior hamlet]

it's my #1 op

[novel monolith]

idgaf about any of my tests except ab fr

[rancid hare]

My old high school for 9th and 10th was myp and I dipped and went to my current school to avoid IB

I HATE ib

[junior hamlet]

i had no choice and i desperately wish i did and could've changed schools

[rancid hare]

Myp was so hard

Can’t imagine ib

AP COMP SCI PRINCIPLES AND AP JAVA

last 2 aps o remember

[novel monolith]

apcsp is such a silly class

[junior hamlet]

but the only way i could've went to a diff school was if i did an arts program for all 4 years and that might've been worse than ib

[novel monolith]

i got violently ill before the ap test and my score was super questionable

[novel monolith]

yeah it might have 😭

[rancid hare]

Bio, chem, physics 1, apes, lang, lit, sem, research, ap calc ab, stats, music theory, world, apush, gov, apaas, java, compsci, psych

Damn 18

[novel monolith]

i dropped art junior year because it was too stressful

wtf so many

[rancid hare]

Yeah it’s impossible to take all 18

It won’t fit into ur schedule

[novel monolith]

my friend took EIGHT tests last year

[rancid hare]

I maxed out aps for junior and senior and was only able to take 10

[novel monolith]

slef studied 5

dude me too

[rancid hare]

HELL NAW

[novel monolith]

self studied PHYSICS C

and got a 4

[rancid hare]

I think our valedictorians have 13 aps

cuz u take 1 fresh Max and 3 sophomore max

So 14 my b

[novel monolith]

oh holy crap

[rancid hare]

I’m vomitting HOW

[novel monolith]

you can take some npc ones frosh adn soph year at mine

like apcsp and ap art hisotry

[rancid hare]

Comp sci is mandatory in 10th

U gotta take it

Luckily I avoided it since I came in junior

😍

[novel monolith]

csp is such a joke of a class

[junior hamlet]

i did comp sci at a cc and it was my personal hell

[novel monolith]

i was fighitng demons trying not to fall asleep

[rancid hare]

I’ll do anything to avoid a comp sci class ANYTHING

[rancid hare]

god ik

[novel monolith]

csa is kinda fun but really tiring to like

process all the code

[rancid hare]

I just cannot do anything compsci

And I barely can do calc

dude ok crazy but I actually failed my final last year I got a D

[novel monolith]

what class?

[rancid hare]

but going into the final I had a mega high A so it averaged out to a B

ap calc ab

[novel monolith]

wait thats goated

[rancid hare]

Dude ik imagine I got a D tho😭

[novel monolith]

i do that for math every year

someone in my class actually got one

[rancid hare]

Same

[novel monolith]

because she was caught cheatign

[rancid hare]

5 people got a C and one a D

Not cuz cheating but because hard af

[rancid hare]

but deserved tbh

[novel monolith]

yeah we have some people with guaranteed Cs in ab already

[rancid hare]

Tbh I think a C is like

It sucks but

[novel monolith]

i need to lock in 😭

[rancid hare]

Calc ab is hard

[junior hamlet]

i spent my 3 hour cs midterm doing abt half of the required assignment and then the rest i programmed a silly but creative apology message 💀

[rancid hare]

Hardest math class my school offers

[rancid hare]

That’s schoology if I ever did see it

[novel monolith]

we have some freshmen in our school's bc class

[rancid hare]

😟

[rancid hare]

PERIOD

[novel monolith]

LOL

[rancid hare]

I barely have an A in calc rn

[novel monolith]

i almost wrote an apology message on my last phys test

then an epiphany hit me with 30s remaining

[rancid hare]

Omg after I failed mt calc final I cried in front of my teacher for like 20 min

Begging her not to give me a D

she was standing there KNOWING I had a B

[novel monolith]

oh my goodness 😭

[rancid hare]

EVIL

[novel monolith]

WHATT

[junior hamlet]

i just put frowny faces on things i know i did wrong half the time on tests

[novel monolith]

[rancid hare]

She asked me what I wanted to major in after I was done sobbing

And I said international studies

[novel monolith]

[rancid hare]

And she said why are you taking this class then

[rancid hare]

BROO IKK

[novel monolith]

ME TOO

all of mine got in somewhere early

[rancid hare]

Omg dude

[somber spindle]

Once I went to a burger place and accidentally sat next to a Harvard prof

[novel monolith]

[rancid hare]

im going ot be so mad

in a universe where i have a cal spot 💀

[rancid hare]

Tbh I don’t feel good about any of these upcoming decisions I’m most likely gonna end up at ucsc which I like anyway

[junior hamlet]

bro my school has a girl who got recruited for stanford, another for columbia, and then another for howard 🥲 but at least they didn't have to apply anywhere else so no apps to withdraw

[junior hamlet]

sc is super pretty

[novel monolith]

keep me posted !! i probably will too if none of my future decisions clutch up

[novel monolith]

omg

recruits are so lucky

[rancid hare]

WE CAN SC IT UP TOGETHER

[novel monolith]

[fossil cape]

Ummm considering the work we had to put in and pretty much sacrifice a lot of our childhood and teenage years

[rancid hare]

She was for rowing which I thought was d1

[fossil cape]

I wouldn’t say lucky

[novel monolith]

oh yeah FOR SURE

[fossil cape]

The school is D3

[novel monolith]

its even more stressful than regualr apps if youre going for d3 schools

[fossil cape]

I’m sorry is that sarcasm?

[novel monolith]

no

im sorry 😭 didnt mean to discount it

[fossil cape]

Cool cool

[rancid hare]

No I don’t think so

[fossil cape]

Yeah no worries

[novel monolith]

[fossil cape]

Yes! Very proud to be one

[rancid hare]
