lul
and then moved to fake shanghai
smol housing
dense asf population
theres not much iconic food yeah
autumn is nice
winter? hell no
i rate it a -1 outta 10
cuz one year
we had hailstorm
we also get that almost the same rate lul
well ofc
hk gets the most
in comparison
but!
its basically free holiday
ive never been to hong kong before except for when i was flying and i made a transfer at hong kong airport
small place
pricy stuff
i got starbucks at the airport there and my friend used some octopus card to buy a cup for me
i dont get why people go to hk for vacation
the guy there spoke english
yeah
well yeah
majority of the population speaks english pretty well
i wished i lived in hong kong instead of shanghai
in mainland we have to use vpn to get discord or google or youtube
so its quite foreigner friendly
oh yeah
fair
and like hong kong is more interesting and unique than shanghai
theres only one thing
housing
housing is trash in hk
shanghai is just like another random city but hong kong has special status
yeah
special treatment lul
💀 literally more expensive than NYC
yep
and you have to drive on left side like goofy ahh
ehh
hk? we dont drive
metro is soo good that driving sucks
oo
my dad is like
he often talks about he got 2 Porsche*
like a pun
saying me and my sister are very expensive to raise

LMAOO
asian ahh parents
real
imma send another mail to wisconsin
damn office not doing their work
ooo
pittsburgh
i already got accepted into pitt for accounting in the business school
if carlson or osu doesnt pan out for me ill probs go to pitt

i got psu too
i mean penn state and pitt are pretty far away lol

they're in the same state but it's kinda far away
not that far i think
Dawg MSU is good
ehhhhhhhhhh
i dont want to live in the middle of nowhere town in michigan
rolling admissions
i still havent gotten my rutgers decision back lol
Rutgers is 1/31
ic
same
I just got this email
guys does this officially confirm that they won't admit me for my first choice college Carlson???? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yea 😭
Means you got rejected from Carlson
bro I deadass haven't been able to send my grade 12 semester 1 transcript to umn bc it won't be finalized for another 2 days
if they saw it they I would've had a better chance bruh
yes
same thing happened with me
got rejected from carlson
got into liberal fukin arts
I mean the people in the other chat said that its just an automated email
and that they'll specifically say if I got accepted/rejected from Carlson later
looking online people said that they got accepted into cla and they got accepted into Carlson or other schools like a few weeks later
so far it's been one week
?
you got decision back from umn?
you got rejected????
Computer Engineering
Act 29
With basically full marks in stem parts
do you know your gpa
We don’t use gpa
what are your high school grades then
mines like around the 30% 20% lol
Maybe thats the reason?
the average gpa in my school is 3.7

I have a 3.2
if I don't get into Carlson or osu I'm beyond cooked
Im cooked
I dont understand
Why tf umn outta everything
This shit is so random
ya
what major u applied for?
cse is so competitive so that’s probably why
Wha
But
They have like
75% acceptance
still they have 7 colleges so cse is their maybe second competitive school
im sorry did they at least get you in your second college?
I remember i sticked to college of engineering
But no
its usually very competitive for intls
like thats just in general for any US college
yeah specially for cs and engineering
if i got accepted into my second choice college CLA how long will it take for me to hear back if they will accept me into my first choice college Carlson?
if u got into second choice that means u were rejected for first one
but it says "if we are able to offer you admission into your first choice we will update you"
How hard is it to get into engineering?
Still no decision for me yet
Like nothing at all 😦
How cooked am I?
Are you sure?
yes..
How do you know?
But like I applied early October
then email thenm
People from rd getting them back
ok then wait
😭
Fr? :((
if i dont get into carlson it's so over im gonna end up at armPitt university bruh
u shouldnt be scared until the decision has been made
Nah I don’t care about Carlson
Just engineering
How hard is engineering to get into anyways?
Aight thanks 🙏
bro can't read
fr
guys should i email umn admissions and ask about carlson
after my counselor sends my updated transcript
yeah definitely do that!
29 act
No gpa
Basically middle percentile in school
Ecs are decent though
But.. maybe cse acceptance rate isn’t 75% afterall
UMN does admit by major so the overall acceptance rate is different than each majors/college
Im in cycles of self doubt bruh
But is it that low though..
What percentage or grade did u have overall then
Does it mean other colleges have like
Darn 100%
For cs and engineering it’s tough everywhere
Out school score scales are very low
Specially this year
Why this year
Everyone decided to go to college …I actually don’t know 😭
Out of 100 or?
Lets say out of 100 students
Im ranked 40
What grades did u submit tho, u hv got quite a confusing system
Very confusing
Like I don’t think rank matters it’s the grades/gpa and course rigour
For academics
And test scores
Grades submitted?
Its like a converted score
Which.. gave me a 3.3 gpa
Which i just inputted my raw scores instead
Course
Physics
Chemistry
Biology
Maths?
Oh
I believe its hard to convert
U can always ask them as to why u got rejected
Considering top rank here gets a score like
70/100
Did u do any ap or ib courses? That does help a lot
Im doing dse
And they dont offer things like that

I see
Im just.. flabbergasted
Where else did u get accepted
2 safety and penn state
It’s alright it happens
Ngl this year it’s been very tough cuz number of apps sky rocketed for every uni
Unlucky

2007 babies
What did you initially apply for
accounting @ Carlson school of management
If you’re from a competitive school it’s still kinda hard
Also acceptance rate for Minnesota is 75% OVERALL, engineering is much much lower
If you’re doing engineering take overall and like subtract a huge chunk from it
I’m lucky
My parents actually don’t give a fuck about my schoolwork and prioritize my mental health
They only care about my results because I care about it
I'm not taking a gap yr
My parents are a-ok with me taking a gap year as long as I’m ok with it
I don't want to stay here any longer 🙏
I went into high school with goal in mind of just going to community college
for me personally 2nd semester senior yr is enough of a break
Well, not really, just I didn’t really have anything in mind and my parents just wanted me to take it easy
I didn’t lock in until almost senior year when I decided that I wanted to go to college
I had a phenomenal clutch up
that's when I started looking into universities n stuff
Cuz like by junior year I only had 1 Ap class
And by end of junior I only had 3
I did practically all my ECs around junior year to senior year
Because I realized that they were basically required to go to any uni
I didn’t start until August this year
Well, last year now
Basically 1390 in conversions
oh! I forgot this existed, here
@sage trout @slate tapir here are stats of students admitted last year in minnesota if youre curious
for engineering, median of UW GPA is 3.67-4.00, with the SAT between 1400-1520
UMN lowk kinda competitive for engineering
Oh.. 29 act is 25%
But ehh
My science and math lowkey full marks
Just my English
Sucked
If you’re doing cs you should shoot for 75%
So for umn, a comfortable sat for cs is like 1480
Cs is just hard
For tier 2 schools ranked 20-30, the sat for cs is almost full marks
1580 or something
i got admitted into CLA while being below 25th percentile in gpa and sat 💀
im probably cooked for carlson im ngl
umn is so ... bittersweet
at least u got in
yeah
i wish umn didn't admit based on major
or didn't place u into a college immediately
that would've given me a shot at carlson
having to transfer is a lot harder
and i dont want to risk not getting the degree for my intended major

Well, you got in, that’s all that matters
Though if you are 25% for liberal arts, Carlson chances are very slim then
actually cooked ong
That’s why I keep on saying that admittance rate is kinda deceptive
All that matters is who you’re competing with
Kinda sucks that colleges admit based on school
I mean, both good and bad
ikr bruh like they're not even giving me a chance at carlson
But if you go to a good school, rip
College and school admissions
literally gonna go to pitt atp since they admitted me for business school
uhh
rutgers, stony brook, uconn, cu boulder
there's more but im too lazy to list those r the main important ones
yep
idk lowkey dont care too much abt rutgers id rather go to pitt bc better location imo
Rutgers and cu boulder especially ima tell you is gonna be hard
I know a lot of folks from my area applying to cu boulder
basically other than osu the only other one that's important is cu boulder
but i might be cooked for boulder so idk
All of em are like 1300-1400 sat and have a gpa of around like 3.7 or 3.8
Though they admit based on what high school you go to so you’ll have a quota nonetheless
For nonengineering
I actually don’t know anyone applying to osu though
what 😭
im actually cooked
I live in a competitive area
luckily no one else applied boulder in my school so maybe it's aight idk
But top 50 colleges in America these days are kinda tough
All that really matters is who else applied in your school
it's like almost 100s bruh
AR doesnt equal ranking
umiam has like 19% AR but they're rank 60 smthing
meanwhile mich state has 88% but they're also rank 60 smthing
But also a shit ton of ppl at my school shotgunned some t50 as safeties, including my Minnesota and they have like a 1580 sat and 4.0 gpa💀
😭
diabolical
my top choices r some of my friends safeties
like some unis needa start doing yield more often
like be real 1580 + 4.0 aint going to umn
It got so bad to the point where some folks with a 1450 sat still haven’t gotten their decisions back yet
wtf lmao
And all the folks with their 1580 got the decisions back in like a single week
i got accepted with 3.25 already 💀
They applied last year
i applied dec 1
Umn doesn’t give a shit about yield protection lmao 💀
accepted jan 14
If you loo at my school acceptance and admittance rate for umn they accepted basically almost everyone that applied but only like 2 commit lol
Rutgers cooked
Pain
I think this year there’s much more people shotgunning around
Rates seemed to be much lower
Where did you get accepted or rejected from?
cs and eng hv become a lot competitive
I heard they are sub 40%
That real?
not sure but its just hard everywhere now

even the safeties
I regret my major choice
I did almost all ea
same
same ong
guys should i email umn admissions to ask about carlson
my counselor sent my transcript
Yes
Subject: Inquiry Regarding Application Status - Carlson School of Management
Dear Admissions Committee,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is X, and I recently received an offer of admission to the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota. I am excited about the opportunity to join the UMN community.
However, I am writing to inquire about the status of my application to the Carlson School of Management, my first-choice program. I am still very interested in pursuing a degree in Accounting, and I wanted to check if there is any further information or steps I should take regarding this application.
I appreciate your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you regarding the next steps.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Best regards,
Name
UMN ID
do you think this email will work?
Looks decent
Why not both
i applied ea2 18/11 and no response am i cooked bros
im actually gonna crash out if i get rejected from umn 😭
im cooked everywhere
then
i got accepted for CLA but not for CSOM im so cooked
atleast u got in
if i dont make it into CSOM right now it's very hard to transfer in later
i really wanna go to umn
but not getting CSOM is a deal breaker
@sage trout did u get a certification of finances form before u got in
no
ye
that's weird
i am
idk why they asked me for it
umn admissions is hella weird
i thought it was a sign i got in
ik some people that applied RD and got in before some that applied EA1
i applied EA 2 and got accepted jan 14th
damn
mechanical engineering
i heard online transferring into carlson is near impossible after first yr
bro ngl my spirit is actually going to be destroyed if i get cooked at umn 😭
you have to get into carlson right off the bat from HS or u cooked
im gonna become a doomer
my diversity essay was so shit I fear they might reject me cuz of that only
is carlson the most competitive program
😭
lmao bro i misread the prompt
i wrote about research
i might be cooked
idk but it's just really hard to transfer
BRO I WROTE SMTHING WEIRD TOO
i wrote mine in 3 minutes and i got in it's chill
when I read it today I was like wtf
oh okay
no i didnt even realize it was a diversity essay
the supp for this school is hella weird
like wtf
i wrote abt my experiences living abroad and at an intl school
so it was reasonably easy to write abt diversity
bro my thing wasnt even about diversity it was smthing else
yeah mine isnt
I agree also the word count was like shit
150 words is crazy
the only supps I liked was of purdue and nc state- ngl 250 words is acc perfect
to fit everything
nc state was nice
nc state is rlly underrated
uw madison i had to combine like the content from 3 different supps and edit it to fit uw
to reach the word limit
bro's impatient
i got rejected...
which major
MY FUCKING COUSELOR
FORGOT TO UPLOAD MY TRANSCRIPT
and i missed the FUCKING DEADLINE
IT TOOK THEM MORE THAN 2 DAYS
For what major?

Domestic tho
this year's rates sucked
im also oos
good luck to you
hope my slot went to you
I don’t think so 😭

what stat though
Engineering is
They’re still rolling out admissions I wouldn’t worry to hard
A friend of mine got into engineering for cs yesterday
Stats are 1440 sat and I believe 3.8-3.9 gpa
anyone who applied rd who already got their decision ?
i applied ea2 and got in for cla economics
Cooked ahh
😭 probably no carlson for me
gonna go to pitt instead tbh 😔 at least i got into their business college
i dont have a scholarship ANYWHERE 😭 except for mich state but no chance on earth im going there
it's fine my daddy can pay 🤑
driving through minneapolis in a ferrari
lmfao
flexing on the poors
im not really that rich my parents just have money saved to cover my college tuition i think idk
Idt they come out till atleast mid feb
Me
What major
What stats
Cse
Engineering..
Its better to have a sat/act score
But its not the end of the day
I wish i studied gce alvl
My current grades scale like shit

Nah fr I think if your gpa is above 3.6 you have a pretty decent shot
If your sat is above like 1450
But like I didn’t get accepted yet 😭
Also I need a scholarship here to even attend
I’m oos
Rip
Applied ea 1
They normally should go through the test optional apps first
I got the replies 2 days ago
I applied rd and already got mine back
Not a rejection or deferral
Tf
Soo . It sure is late
Broo
Yeah
Cooked?
The application has so much aura that they're waiting for a professional with enough aura to read it
All you can do is keep waiting
But you are likely to get in
Trust
Nah bro
You'll probably get it faster
How do u have like
29 apps
Oh bet
I think that's 51 apps
Yeah
I just do 😭

Where 29???
Like
Are you just scanning t30s
Yeah 😭
All of them
And some t50s
Bro completed us news
I did bro
I actually did 😭
I scoured all of them
Applied basically all t50s and my state schools
But there’s a guy lurking around here with more than me
I this man
Omg bro
It’s you
😑
Blud deleted his messages
Dang
Wait.. what rankjng list aree you referring to
Wait is it 29 apps or 29 you're waiting for
He news
29 I’m waiting for

Ye
Why
To get full ride
Im currently just hoping
Anything better than psu
What
Purdue?
Damn
Deferred?
Basically a rejection
Ye
I thought they didn’t even do that :((
Lowkey might be in your boat though
Wait also how long did it take you to get a decision here?
The engineering acceptance rate is somewhere in the 40%
Def not 75%
I got it 2 days ago
Ea1
So yeah it takes a while
Oh explains it then 😭
My second choice is in las
This man
You’re better than me
Sigma balls
More colleges applied than me 😭
We’re all cooked this year
But schools gives out the same amount of acceptance
And 85k people
Applied this year sadly
Sigh
Yeah
Imma just go wherever is cheapest ngl
Almost all undergrad is the same
That's fine
I think if all my credits are approved, I'll have junior standing lmao
So I dunno if I can do cc
Did you shotgun ivies
This year 91k applied to ut Austin too
Application numbers are crazy
2008 recession applicants will come in soon and there will be less ppl
Probably
It’ll become less competitive to the point where smaller colleges will likely crumble lol
We are at the peak rn
A MASSIVE drop likely
Absolutely MASSIVE
Yeah their admissions team will probably FADE to some degree
And their speed will TAPER
Yeah
And it’ll be a MASSIVE victory royal
peak competition and we still survived 🔥
🔥🔥🔥
its gonna become easier every year after us to get into selective colleges
and it’s gonna suck for non selective smaller colleges
kinda sucks that we are the peak competitive time
i didnt even realize what an AP course was until like junior year
i was throwing hella
i threw by being insanely depressed
but we medicated and chilling now
and im trying my best
i wouldnt really call that throwing :<
whatever you call it we’re so back
i made the best of what i had
and this year i have all As in 5 ap classes
🔥
so i think im on the right track
it’s a lot with college applications but im still floating
because of my incredibly late lock in im not cooking for ucs
but out of state i am
my essay and sats lowkey saved me
im rlly proud of my essay and managed a 1530 with 800 eng
despite my shit gpa
800 english????
WTF
i never broke 1500 on the sat because of english
i was stuck at 720 math for 3 times in a row, then locked in and studied to take it a 4th time only to get a 730
i cooked i suppose
which i think helped me a lot as an applying english major
because i’m 4/4 on acceptances
did you shotgun any top schools
one
i forgot to mention
actually 4/5 because i threw out a cornell app since i have legacy
didnt even get deferred
as expected
i applied to uchicago also not really expecting to get in
i’m super proud of my chicago essays though
yes but not purdue
i applied to a lot of schools like virginia tech, university of florida, and umn
most of my applications are t40 - t50
i prolly shouldve applied to more top dogs
uchicago is such a stretch but i did ed2 and as humbly as possible, i fucking COOKED on that creative writing
loool
it’s probably where i have the best shot of colleges in that range
it would be cool but i doubt it
didnt feel like i had a shot
neither did i do schools like caltech or mit or cmu
too academic, my app doesnt stand out
im the opposite
naw like cuz for these schools you need a 1580 or something
where i feel like i stand out but dont match up in gpa
and then take 15-20 aps
and insane ECs
wait do you wanna take this to dms i dont wanna flood chat 💀
i might also be carried by my letter from my junior english teacher who is the best teacher i’ve ever had and also an amazing writer and she loves me
dont know if this is the place to ask
but does anyone know if UT Knox engineering is comparatively good to umn
no idea
is umn the freak school
also hi furina it would be so silly if we both ended up there
if umn is a top choice you should definitely pay the $50 fee to secure housing sooner rather than later because choices are very competitive, especially if you want to be in an llc
only $50 lost if you dont go
I’m crying
chat if I don't get into Carlson I'm abandoning the umn dream 😔
I got Rutgers in the bag
I’m salty
Rutgers acceptance rate for engineering is like
Often few percent lower than overall
How the fuck
Did I get in Rutgers
But not umn
Why
im salty about carlson 😭 you out here telling me i got into pitt business school AND rutgers business school but no carlson 😭 😭 😭 this some bs
I mean.. you are applying with test optional
And Carlson is tough
I don’t
Understand
Why did I not even get into umn
Like
How
I’m crashing out
rutgers is more likely to admit us ykyk
it is
umn has like 13% rutgers has 33%
How many percent
we got this 🔥
it's like tmr morning in our timezone tho
Yeah
I’m waiting for uf lul
🙏 easy clutch
who wants to live in cold ahh Minnesota anyways smh smh
Florida much warmer

in state?
Did you get into osu?
my umn dream is dead
🤝
we got better schools than umn anyways 🔥🔥🔥
congrats on umich
ty
all my friends got deferred 💀
umich is crazy this year
my friend got deferred but it's ok umich wasn't very high on his list
we were the only 2 who applied EA
lmao i did everything but umich
just didnt feel like it
only competitive schools i applied to are uf and umich and i got into both
maybe i shoulda applied to more
shouldve tried popping some ivies
yeah
i was gonna do usc as my only private school but felt too lazy to do the supps 💀
Same
all my homies hate umn 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
umn literally trolled me so hard
I was so hyped when I saw I got accepted but it was only for cla and I got rejected for Carlson
basically as good as getting rejected 💀
considering that the avg Carlson transfer gpa is 3.7 and there's only 10% acceptance rate for transfer 💀💀💀
Any idea when rd comes out?
umn
is it one of your top choices?
you should apply for the queer housing llc with meeeeeee
:3
it's my top choice rn
so maybe we will see each other there
but housing is crazy ive heard
especially if you want to be in an llc
i would recommend doing the $50
i applied for one of the llc
heard you don’t hear back until late summer
thats annoying
yeah💀
did you apply for the thing in comstock?
i think it’s the most central dorm
also are there any umn students/albums in this chat that i can direct questions to?
Nice
Ayyy sameee
When does scholarships come out?
Got in just now too 🔥
Bro same here 😭
I just got admitted 💀
I applied ea 1
Bruh 💀
I still haven’t received any scholarships why are they doing this 💀💀
How did I get rejected
Did they think I’m yapping or what
I’m sorry for your loss 😢
they are not going to go back on it im fairly certain
a rejection is final
i think you can appeal, but that's only with new information
no new info
as in, explaining a circumstance as to why your scores were the way they are

if no new info, they are not going to go back on it
you cant tell them, sorry i thinik you considered me wrong
hm
alright
just how good is carlson school of management
All ive heard is very
But no actual ranking numbers
theres numbers
look it up
idt it's that good
according to what
ur own judgement or factual evidence
no shit its not upenn level 😭
#18 program ranking
ok and??
u cant say it's very good
🤓
very good is t10 program ranking
It’s #36 on us news for engineering
ur like my mom saying top 50 and over sucks ass and nobody should go
t20 goated t50 great t75 decent t100 mid
overall ranking
😭
umn barely t75
umn is 54..
T100 is not “mid” when there are like 3000 colleges in the us
aint no way
A2C is crazy
half of those are scams bro
😭
like us news doesnt even rank beyond 400
aint no way u didnt even give evidence
@fair anchor hes one of those sweats that cares only abt ranking
💀
i said half of those 3000 are scams
Why
probably
"probably"
us news doesnt rank beyond 400
i forgot how bad a2c is
..
They have a place called dinkytown
fire
😭
mall of america?? hell yea
whats up w that
Very mature
Oh I hv no issues just sounds funny, I like this school
jokes on you you wasted ur own time
i have free time
my benefit outweighted my cost
no ik i was asking what is it
if umn wants to become goated they should change their logo and drop their ar to like 30%
i wanna live in dinkytown 🔥
1/10 rage bait
mfers need to take cold showers and watch motivational videos
bro they dont even have to do much just make all the non competitive majors hard to get into
cse is already less than 20% just make everything else 20%
How do you know
Weren’t you the one asking?
😭
Yield for cse?
i want to be a gopher 🔥
no its known for overall school
yield rate for cse is probably higher because it's one of the highest ranked programs
29.7% acceptance rate for business
OH REALLY?
highest ranked programs at the school not overall
do u have bad reading comprehension or something
im guessing u went test optional
cuz i said it's one of the highest ranked at the school
1570
And you did not
Where does it say “at the school”
that's genuinely impressive if it's not june
April I wanna say
how did u manage that with such bad reading comprehension
