I mean, every lacs are
i'm so nervous, it's so competitive
lmaooo
i see porsches like everyday and i’ve seen a maybach on campus lmao
people are fucking loaded
the uncle of my best friend here is legit one of the top 100 richest people in the world lol
tbh, just get a random husband at any of the lac's, your whole family socioeconomic just bump above
😭😭

sorry that's my b for pushing it
nono i had no idea it counted LOL
anyways good luck to everybody!
fair enough!
crying and throwing up
Yea goodluck, Williams is a reach school to everyone lol
exactly
all these schools reject qualified people constantly
yo necesito williams
it would be oh so funny if i got 4 rejections in a row AND failed my permit test in the same day
por favor
at least that's what i tell myself lol
🙏
i forget getting rejected everywhere tmr is a posisbility
💀
fuck?
opening all 5 rejectiosn in a row might be a bit of a blow to the ego,,,
I mean, you can download your whole common app to chatgpt then do a chance me with it lol
what it if it gives me false hope,,,,
im opening them w a friend at a boba shop and im gonna down them like shots for every rejection
if i do any sort of speculation i freak myself out
i cannot open in public
fair enough 💔
Idk, my friend did it and chatgpt said 50 waitlist / 40 admit chance
i've opened ones i'm less emotionally invested in in public, but the other ones i can't handle
i opened grinnell in the courtyard just because i was so taken by surprise
real
i think my biggest heartbreak so far is UF ED
😻
west coast stuff, it always comes out during school
what?
uf has ed?
early action (non-binding early) early decision (binding early)
my dartmouth deferral was probably my most stressful oeping since them i've barely been very nervous i think i'm desensitized
i think you got it tmrw tho!
Is it possible to get rejected to every school but then accepted to williams?
anything is possible
it actually probably mostly depends on where else you applied
if you applied strictly to reaches then for sure i would think so
manifest and affirm
when a door closes another opens dw babes 🔥
is true but vassar has a lot of things that kinda suck with it ngl
party scene is horrendous
No one goes to LAC for a party
and people here are pretentious as fuck
what's the social scene like at colorado college does anyone know
lol
and also at like the midwest ones like grinnell/carleton
Elitism i suppose
i get this vibe from all the WASPy east coast schools
^^ and kinda hating poor people
I see, I've met people at Colorado College and they told me it can feel pretty isolating if you're in a fullride or just basically poor
it is kinda isolating but more of it comes from people who act like they have no money but are full fucking pay lol
people like acting like they aren’t paying 50k+ a year for some reason but then hate on poor people
we do too i’m gonna be fr
it’s honestly really bad lol
Bruh
wait really i think i have its vibe all wrong in my head
same thing with all the fucking metrosexuals here lmao… so many queerbaiters
I thought Vassar is a haven for lesbians lol
the fuck is a metrosexual and a queerbaiter
this is mostly the guys
okay yeah that checks out
This is why I love girl-dominated schools, they have an insane culture
really only because of the athletes tbh
most people are pretty left wing at slacs
except cmc
i finally just checked which ones are nescac, and i applied to all but 3 of them lol
and like w&l also
it's so odd to me that some schools have like a third of the class as recruited athletes
mostly nescacs
dayum
it’s funny because like… everyone fucking sucks
yeah ik, i think it's just because that's where i appleid largely lol
d 3
uh oh where
like the athletes?
there are good d3 athletes tbh
where r u now if u don't mind me asking
look at the name dawg
location wise?
yeah the athletes usually have really inflated egos for some reason when most slacs have really bad athletics lmao
i know, but i thought @slow wharf was at cc which was just where they're going next year so i didn't want to assume lol
yeah no i’m at vassar
ok ok
i got in ed last year
Yeaa sorry bud, still at Brandeis
no fair enough fair enough
my friend got into vassar lat year rd
i'm just a little confused sort of constantly tbh
but couldnt go cause cost and too far away
congrats!
says a lot when i got asked to join the rugby team while having never done rugby in my life (wrestled in hs)
doesnt brandeis have housing crsiis
I'm currently sitting on the brandeis dorm
i totally get this vibe
2 years gauranteed housing, after that, you play hunger games with it
is this gonna hapen to me at lacs
CS + philo + math
im 6'5 and the only sport i played was football in soph year
oh prob not
Idk, brandeis actually has a ton of great people on it
i wrestled 4 years in hs and was varsity lmao
i was a linemen
😭 i do get the unwarranted confidence white sort of kind of outdoorsy rich boy vibe from most of the schools i applied to unfortunately
i DID NOT like the linemen life
I mean, the "white people" are basically jewish and they're pretty open and sociable
so i just quit
yeah this is most lacs… at least for a decent portion of the athletes. there are good ones tho
pretty sure this is like every new negland lac
also yeah
well at least i've got the vibe pinned down
it really depends on team tho… some teams here i lov the people on
like hmc and pomona
i didn't apply to any out west lol
it is as it is with everything it just depends
Yes, that's true
I never heard of a non-pwi lac though
are there a lot of east asians at the slacs
just thinking about it
even the ones in cali???
uh oh
oooh I see
amherst
Ooh damn that's true
had to wish twice, getting admitted and getting an aid lol
also swat
but they seem like they do reallly acc try more than some yk
Aint amherst more competitive than williamss as of now?
wellesley prob has the most asians i think, 24%
Yea 12am here as well
i think it's hard to direct compare tho bc diff pools but maybe
thought itd be one of the cali ones
Hmm yea, you're right on that
nah, hmc is 22 but also 23 white 23 hispanic: pomona is 18
barnard and wellesley are the only non pwi seven sisters i’m pretty sure also
barnard’s bordering on it tho
Ah Barnarrdd
feels good to be above them in ranking now 👅
bruh, I have a reason to believe barnard is more prestigious than Vassar 
aside from getting a columbia degree i’m pretty sure vassar beats it out in phd placement in almost every category
Hmm vassar propaganadaaa
Aah should've applied to Vassarr
i think it might be even closer to 10%
yeah
i mean we are like 65/35 women/men iirc so
what major are you trying for?
this guy told me it wasnt very smart of me to apply to LACs if im premed/health I was like ???
LOL
such cap
hmm I thought it's CS lol but it wasnt the case
Real that's true
so very nice
but also premed here is like so fucking competitive it’s so hard to get into classes
like it’s already bad for cs and math
bio or chem is on a whole different level
Colorado College is also a pretty great premed school I heard
oh!
like the block system actually prepares you to how a med school feels like
i think worst case scenario im going to commit to mt holyoke
and im not so sure how well that would play out
prereg esp for those classes is hell
like we are a lac with intro bio and chem classes being like 100 students
uoft sg?
Damnn
I have some counsins studying at UofT
UTSC 💔
is it prestigious?
Ohh I see
YAYAYA
its 40 acr though
scarby….
yeah rip i applied late
coop phys and env sci on health sci track
oh really???
thats reassuring, i always see people hating
tbh i think it’s better like than utsg just to live there lol
utsg housing is crazy
but he liked it a lot
so did his sister
Bruh anyway yea I have to get down fr ts pmo, calculus quizzz
uoft is so tempting bc im not paying intl tuition and i got some scholarships but my parents prefer me staying in the US
I don't feel the deflation
so my fingers are crossed for other decisions
I'm getting perfect scores in all of the test as of now
idk, it was t30 5 years ago I believe?? but then it dropped to t60 lol
alot of my senior friends from the same highschool just got waitlisted to brandeis lol
fr
Cuz its half lac half research
that's what I loved about it
But the new president is umm, wanting to be like the nyuu
cuz the new rankings doesn't care about teacher-student ratio so the president is planning to expand the hell out of it
It's quite a debate in the Brandeis community to pursue to the path of liberal art college or research university
I aint coming to the class if the professor doesn't know I exist lol
Yea I'm quite loving it as well
yall does villanova count as a lac
i love pepperdine's campus but it's so expensive
nah their general req is too nasty
yea it does come out tomorrow
xiaoo hong shuu 👋 👋 😴
nah
ik 😭 😭
wat dat mean
i am at Amherst and we have lots of east asians (like 25%)
not as many south asians tho but UMass has so many south asians that i just go to the UMass South Asian clubs (I'm Indian)
the diversity issues that Amherst is having post-AA are related to not being able to get other demographics, there's plenty of asians around
and even then i think 2028 was still like 40? % asian max
yeah 39%
Oh wash Lee, if you reject me my heart will go squash you see.
You’re at the tippy top of ambitions
Please join my waning requisitions
Come on, look at it from my position
Admit me and I’ll go on to achieve my my mission
We can make the world a better place
All the while allowing me to save face
Rly?
are they domestic or international?
All top 10 lacs give limited offers to international East Asians tho
they sent 7:13pm on the email no?
I didnt recieve an email - did you?
no dice! it's alright, i'll hope for the best 🙂 thanks so much!
All top 10 lacs give limited offers
to international East Asians tho
fixed that for ya
I mean both
I know my year has like
I'm seeing stats wise 3 China 5 HK 3 Japan 3 South Korea intls
And then a ton of domestic asians lol
Like 90
exactly what I meant in the original comment?😭
?
Colby wl
#1268288147469631520
got colby lfg
smith is such a nice campus
really nice town asw
if i was a woman id go there over amherst
why not wellesley

idk why i didn’t like smith or amherst (i visited smith with my sister…) northampton was nice tho
bryn mawr prob has the prettiest campus out of the seven sisters and i’m saying this as a vassar student
ive never been to wellsley
so cant comment
i might do a wellesley study abroad program
or a vassar one
those are two that are approved by amh
do vassar 👅
it’s the french one right
True
i nEED to study abroad
i don’t even know if i can like feasibly
skull
another year of japanese and missing out on two cool ass electives to study abroad
🥀
and waking up at 9:00.
just do a no language based study abroad
…when do you wake up 😭
i start at 10am each day
9am wake up
thats like fine
and also just take the electives later bruh study abroad will change your life a lot more than like two classes
true…
9:00 for my 9:30 jp class 😭😭😭 everyday 😭😭😭
True
most of the time 8:45 tho
which sucks because i go to bed at like 2:30
thats not even bad 😭
It is when ur sleep schedule is shite 🥀
I gotta fix it tbh
not getting 8hrs a day of sleep sucks for gym recovery
i can imagine…
So nervous for Amherst
not an lac…?
Hello everyone
Williams is out but I can't check it :(
I think I'm being rejected because of the package thing but who knows
Rejected Amherst
williams amherst Ws 😍 no way
My goat
TY CHLOEE ❤️ trust yale will clutch next wk
I HOPE 🙏🙏🙏🙏
is wake forest out
Praying rn for it to drop
😭 ya
not an lac??? 😭
it’s not 😭
i got colgate!!
Wash Lee drops in 3 min
Omg
I’m gonna get rejected so hard I won’t even know what hit me
Wash Lee is currently my number 1
It’s gonna hurt a lot
you got this!!
Yup, rejected
If anyone else got rejected I want to see what their second paragraph of the rejection letter says
Got into WLU!!!!
So was I
Ayeee twinnn
Did either of you apply to W&L
okay we're in it together
i did
no I did not
Like the rejected ones I mean
ah
i got rejected swat, wwilliams, amherst, waitlist colby bowdoin
wishing i ed2ed bowdoin so bad rn....
Congrats on your acceptances tho!
I got wl to Colby too
rejected swarth, bowdoin, amherst, williams, colgate
accepted wlu
waitlisted pomona colby
basically the same lineup lol
today was brutal!
im taking a pomona WL lol thats a dub for me
it's also like, i've gotten accepted some places, but it's rough to have all the rejections on the same day yk, like i got all the acceptances and then all the rejections i'd like a little mix...
but yeah im stoked for WLU i love the campus and had an amazing interview
me too 🔥
literally be signing up for community college rn
oh i also got whitman today too, they delayed my app because i forgor the financial aid verification worksheet
also ik this is stupid but it makes me feel bad that all my friends are in like i'm excited for them i just feel like embarassed lol
it’ll be tuesday next week (just based on trends)
its pretty frequently 2 days before ivy day
manifesting everything for davidson wesleyan and vassar now
if u don’t get into vassar i can tell you all the things that are bad about it as a student if it helps 💪
what do you think of marist lol since theyre in the same town (i think)
does anyone if colgate is a good college?
putting my ironic disdain for other ny lacs aside as a vassar student, colgate is a great school
tbh i dont really think of marist much, theyre on the complete other side of poughkeepsie and the only interaction we really have with them is going to bars near them 💀
what is it known for, besides being named after a toothpaste?
fair lol. just got an accepted email from them today which is why i ask
very good astro (physics too afaik). good premed, econ, classics, polisci, phil, and math programs. aside from that afaik its pretty similar to other lacs
colgate physics and astro are their strong suits
do you know anything about hamilton perchance ,, I know it's pretty suburban but just curious
are you being ironic when you say its surburban lol
Yes I'm reciting with Google for com says
yeah im not gonna lie colgate and hamilton are bot
h
rural
lo
l
the populations of clinton and hamilton combined is less than 10k
i havent really heard great things but also ive only heard things from people who transferred
things about greek life, athlete presence on campus, and just a general very depressing feel
open curriculum is cool though
meh wasn't too interested in those aspects of college life
no yeah moreso people complaining about them im gonna be honest
as in
they dont like the athletes or greek life
😭
LOL
what about union?
dont really know much about it
but its a good school from what ive heard
i didnt apply tho
i got into union with full aid and some scholar thing thats supposedly selective so its a little tempting
the lacs i like applied to/planned to apply to were: vassar, hamilton, amherst, f&m, williams, colgate, wesleyan, pomona, middlebury, haverford, colby, bates, holy cross, bowdoin, and sjc
i only got like half of these in before i got vassar back
oh trinity and skidmore too
i got waitlisted at skidmore lol
saratoga springs is a weird location anyway
Waitlisted Amherst, Bowdoin, Colby, and Williams. Rejected bowdoin, swarthmore
Me three 💔💔
How difficult is it to get into colgate
14% ar including ed so prob sub 10% rd
as with most lacs around that acceptance rate
i checked the cds and its like 12% overall and 11% rd
Waitlisted at swarthmore. What the chance to get admitted ?
for colgate????
231/7922= 2.91
but
I was shocked
tuition?
by?
colgate
DM
Why you cooked
Aye twin
yippeee
Areyou considering colgate
yeah i would go to pomona 😭
colgate location is one of like
the biggest things
for al otta people
Live laugh love california
upstate ny is pretty but goddamn its boring
Real😭😭
Any idea what time Wesleyan decisions will release?
i was surprised i didn’t at least get in amherst bc i did their flyin
that was the only one that rlly shocked me the rest were expected
omg twin +rejected colgate waitlist pomona
davidson in 10min
Wesleyan when
Bates out early!!
rejected from like all the LACs i applied to except mount holyoke and im waiting on bryn mawr 💔
longtime lurker here. got into pomona.

LACs don’t like me 😭
All of your acceptances have been so so amazing, congrats!!
Have you decided on Williams
you literally got into washu 😭
both of them like u
fuck washu the only one 💀
well tufts
idk
but more nescac lac vibes
other than that the other ones i have bad luck WITH
but lac has been full sweep 💀
not yet! but i'll prolly end up there :DD
Wow congrats!
ay at least it’s washu 😭🙏
Wesleyan out??
Is it? 😭
yes
6th LAC waitlist 💀
what time is bryn mawr
Ty!
I got in
Is there any form of communication for admitted students?
is there a Hamilton WLU or Grinnell poll/thread?
Rejected as expected
truee lol
ty!
WESLEYANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN LETS GOOOOOOOO
colby has too much money
That’s such a good deal
ACCEPTED BATES AND WESLEYAN
Where do I find that for Wesleyan??
Find what?
Decision?
Decision u should have a view update thingy
Parent asset
Oh you asked in #✨-celebration-station right. On my end I didn’t need to fill out that particular form so I’m not sure myself.
meanwhile they are hella generous with masters
they will literally pay for your full two-year masters program and/or phd and even give you a stipend for participating in research like wtf
same
woahh what
thanks for letting me know
Middlebury Tufts Carleton Colby or Wesleyan?
based on nothing i would say tufts or carleton
carleton
carleton
Carleton
I have a soft spot for Middlebury
nescac alliance or whatnot
but also colby and wes 😭😭😭😭😭
oh and tufts skull
midd >> wes and colby
True….
As much as i’m not really a fan of midd
midd > wes >>>> colby imo
i almost did ed2 to wes
i love middlebury
gonna miss it
now i have to live in bummy massachusetts
💔
fuck
carleton rocks id also choose them over the others solely on just vibes
was waitlisted tho 💔
LAC waitlist warrior
that's why you should go to amherst instead
williams location is hellishly bad
amherst is arguably the same
the train that goes from amherst is a drive for a couple min and then around six hours to nyc
you’re gonna be driving either way
amherst just has a larger town
my parents said no 💀
cuz williams cheaper and "number one"

its one spot higher
What’s your major
econ lol
which williams is better for i guess??
idk
its full ride
so
cant really complain
Checks out
Yeah valid
yeah it’s fantastic if you’re trying to do a masters you should highly consider wesleyan purely due to how much you will save
guys should i go to colby
they alternate #1 😭
parent moment
you should try to negotiate w Amherst tho
this is so patently wrong in so many ways
no but it covers like healthcare flights wtvr so my parents said no 💔
its wtvr
i would have liked amherst better
lmao
i lowk didnt think i had a shot at either 💀
and?
😊
its an admitted students day
bowdoin schedule lowk fire
i see
going in w the inability to commit bc of parents 💀
but yk
free trip??
ok i go to mass/maine for 3 days come back home for one day go back to mass again
idk how good of an idea this is
I also went to admitted students days at places I didn't want to go for both HS and college
just it's like
ok yea
just to make sure
okk
not at all 😭😭
amherst is like an actual place esp compared to williamstown
need to go to be a mammoth so i can visit the zoo
blarney
@rough sleet rome wasn’t built over night
Are womens' colleges usually for lesbians? I applied to a ton. A legit question bc for some reason it never dawned on me why some girls would want to go to a womens' college besides safety reasons and environment until i realized that everyone i know going to bryn mawr is a lesbian lol
Got into Vassar
vassar accept 🔥
my (male) friend is dating a girl at mount holyoke and i know of a few other people dating girls at moho
so i think they at least have a good chunk of straight women
smith is gay asl though
bro how much FA did u get cuz i have to pay $60k+
im gna die
theyre not for lesbians per se, they were originally very conservative (wellsley was infamously so until fairly recently) but in recent years they have become very popular amongst wlw
8k a year 💀
my most expensive lac
theyre saying they only got $8k in financial aid lol
oh
completely forgot it was today
you can negotiate tbh
but idk considering like cuts and stuff
we got emails about stuff like that 😭
a good amount of other lacs already have this tax on them afaik
williams stays winning 💪 free 24 hr therapy
vassar is expensive my goly
well its fine
if i wanted to go i could pay
💀
middlebury like 2k cheaper
amherst 6k cheaper
idek
home equity gets taken into account hella which usually explains it
amherst was a lot cheaper for me too
if i wanted to go i wouldve ed'd though
well not al ot
its like
2k vs 7k lol
i can afford both
yeah this makes sense then
vassar is surprisingly not that expensive for me
the aid calculators said it would be the most but it's right around all my other schools
same happened with me
it said like 23k lmao
i think vassar aid calculator is just weird
I’m lowkey upset I have to give the latter up
I didn’t even know Mount Holyoke existed until I applied to college
any wesleyan admits going to any day visits?
guys I got into bates can someone convince me its good
Decent ROI. Lots of opportunities for community service if that's your thing.
Super-liberal study abroad policies (I think you can study abroad from sophomore year on; you also can do more than one study abroad program if you so wish, which is pretty unique).
Mandatory senior thesis helpful if you'd like to go to grad school
Personally, I really like the way they've set up their "core"/distributional requirements - a major-related writing component every year and an emphasis on exploration that still gives you a lot of freedom to focus on your interests - though obviously your opinions may be different
For what it's worth, I also found their admissions staff really, really nice - my own AO was really willing to give detailed responses to my questions (and even connect me to faculty members), while the one who contacted me to let me off their waitlist seemed pretty friendly and extremely patient with my incoherence
Wtf did anyone else get a welcome package from colgate damn😭
NO I KNOW
omg
😭😭😭
Im so conflicted rnnnnnn
AHHHHHHH
RIGHT LIKE also why is the pen lowkey so nice
omg congrats on both tho!! colgate was stingy w me so im conflicted 💔
noooo :((( I hope you have some other good options 😭
YAH i do !! i hope u come to a decision too !! both schools would be lucky to have u 
AW thank you 🥹
Parent here HWCs are the BEST. Yes I’m biased bc I went to one. It was the right choice for me. It gave me the space I needed to give myself permission to use my voice. And here’s the thing you hear all about alumni network of schools and how that is important down the road. But with an HWC your network isn’t just that school you went to. It is all of them. Bc there is something intangible that happens at an HWC that crosses boundaries of school rivalry after graduation. You all know you had similar experiences and you help each other. When I move states one of the first things I do is find the HWC alumni group in that area. I even found my current job on the Women’s College Alumni Network. I am older than google so in my naivety I didn’t even comprehend that I was going to an HWC until I got on campus. A senior told me something my freshman year ‘if you stay here all 4 years you will like the woman you are when you leave’ and no truer words were ever spoken. We’re there lots of LGBTQIA individuals (back before it was ok). Yeah. But am I a better person for the education and environment that made a safe space for anyone there to be who they are…oh yeah. Go to the best school FOR YOU and it will help you grow past and better than you ever thought you could be.
This reminds me of the NESCAC network—as an Amherst student I can cold email a Williams/Bowdoin/Colby alum and they'll usually help out as well
sigh
swarthmore is currently 38k, washlee is 18k
i think i will end up bankrupting my family lowk
it’s very similar
Colby is 1.6k for me
this was so nice to read! thank you :)
Thx for the explanation!
Wesleyan decisions!
