He said NEU waitlist was likely tho

[rugged aspen]

some college influencers are eh some are just downright despicable bc they prey off people's fears

[spare elbow]

[knotty steeple]

[rugged aspen]

JAIL

[rugged aspen]

SCAM ARTIST

[arctic plover]

[hazy garnet]

all these college influiencers

[spare elbow]

i lowk put myself as full pay, selected liberal studies core, gallatin, cas, steinhardt, stern consideration, and wrote a decent glazing NYU letter after studying college confidiental trends, ima stay delusional frfr

[knotty steeple]

doesn’t he use ai to review people’s essays

[hazy garnet]

are either 1. real or 2. rage bait

[rugged aspen]

no middle ground

[arctic plover]

i choose to believe this

[rugged aspen]

JAILLL

[knotty steeple]

let’s make it out together so we can become college counselors and scam people

jk

[hazy garnet]

how do those guys who go to like iives end up at college counsellors

did they go wrong somewhere or does it just make that much

[rugged aspen]

harvardhoney with her $1000 per hour personal sessions

[spare elbow]

maybe.... this isnt such a baf idea

[knotty steeple]

it makes that much

[spare elbow]

OMG ELISE PHAM???

Like

[rugged aspen]

NOT ELISE PHAM

[knotty steeple]

is she the one who was like

[rugged aspen]

LMAO

no

[knotty steeple]

how i got someone with a 3.0 into stanford

[spare elbow]

girlie took a break from literal harvard but shes also rich off her business

[rugged aspen]

with only essays

🤷

[spare elbow]

pls that has to be bs

[rugged aspen]

fr

no ecs

just essays

[spare elbow]

unless like special case

[rugged aspen]

yeah

[knotty steeple]

gotta be a super duper special case (donor)

[rugged aspen]

yep

daddy donated a building

[spare elbow]

But 3.0 with stanford can only be doable under certain circumstances and an AO being like tooo happy for the day

[rugged aspen]

then again california has banned legacies

since varsity blues iirc

[boreal grove]

plz nyu/davis waitlist when

[spare elbow]

i believe the 3.0 thing was before cali banned legacies right?

[rugged aspen]

i heard davis comes out in waves starting once the april 15th deadline comes

[rugged aspen]

i believe so

[spare elbow]

ayyy same, also waiting on NYU, good luckkk

[rugged aspen]

iirc cali banned legacies in 2023

[boreal grove]

do i have to update grades

[rugged aspen]

im also on the davis waitlist

[spare elbow]

april 15th??? yall have to commit earlier?

[rugged aspen]

yes

[rugged aspen]

its adviced

[boreal grove]

damn bru my grades are shit

[knotty steeple]

i’m pretty sure the ivyleagueroadmap guy or whatever his name is didn’t even go to an ivy

[boreal grove]

slacked off a bit too hard

[spare elbow]

ohhh makes sense

[rugged aspen]

fr

[rugged aspen]

dw you can switch commitments

for me im going to either ucsc or slo

while i wait for davis/irvine wl decisions

then again slo's portal is so broken beyond belief

[hazy garnet]

Deposit go poof tho

[spare elbow]

ik my king tineo went to a triple theat (stanford, penn, harvard)

[rugged aspen]

ill let tineo live

[spare elbow]

lowk penn state deposit is 500 but ima wait for NYU regardless ig

[rugged aspen]

everything else aside from gohar and his brother can perish

[spare elbow]

Gohar and his brother eatttt, good general college advice too

[rugged aspen]

yeah

[knotty steeple]

500???!

oh my god

[rugged aspen]

omg

[knotty steeple]

i think rutgers is

100?

[spare elbow]

wait no 330 my bad

[limber shoal]

one of my schools p sure was abt 500 or so or more

[rugged aspen]

rutgers is the oldest uni system in the us dating back to the colonial era

[hazy garnet]

urochester is 800 lmfao

[limber shoal]

and it's a state school 2

[spare elbow]

HUH

apperently Carolina global launch for a friend was like 1.5k

[knotty steeple]

what da fuck

[limber shoal]

yeah idk it's just a lot

[hazy garnet]

it goes towards ut tuition though

[spare elbow]

yeah same for PSU but if i get off for NYU, bye bye money

[limber shoal]

i think nyu is starting to dislike our school more and more

[hazy garnet]

i got cwru and emory wl

[spare elbow]

oooh both good schools

[limber shoal]

in previous years we would send a good amt of ppl to nyu despite not being a feeder

but like after 2024-2025 literally only like one person each year literally got into nyu

[spare elbow]

Oof barely anyone goes from our school but 2 kids got accepted (1 ED and 1 RD) and only 1 waitlist (me T-T)

[knotty steeple]

i can’t commit to rutgers yet because even though i got into the honors college they still have me as an out of state student

[limber shoal]

i rlly do hope u get off the wl

[knotty steeple]

😀😀😀😀😀

[limber shoal]

it's gonna be a little harder tho since i'm p sure they don't accept locis no?

[spare elbow]

I hope so too, its been my dream school for a while nowww T-T

They dont but i pasted something similar on the wl form

[knotty steeple]

and the money i got for hc isn’t shit bc oos tuition is 59k or something

[spare elbow]

so like a semi lowk

loci

[spare elbow]

STOP same it was kinda expensive for RU and i got no honors college

[limber shoal]

i was gonna apply to rutgers

but meh

it lowk scares me idk why

just the vibe of the people that go there

[knotty steeple]

in state is 33k 🥲🥲 im practically getting a full ride but they aren’t changing my status

[spare elbow]

plus im not an NJ person but i wouldve gone to PSU and then NYU after transfer maybe if not wl

[knotty steeple]

so i need to call them tomorrow

[limber shoal]

schools mad greedy smh

[spare elbow]

Oof def call

[rugged aspen]

nyu and stanford core

[spare elbow]

No literally most of the state schools be doing a lot lol

[spare elbow]

USC core too lmao

[limber shoal]

for uconn i still have to pay like around 29k or smth

[rugged aspen]

university of spoiled children

[limber shoal]

even w a 25k scholarship

[spare elbow]

ooohhh are you committed???

Uconn was one of my fav schools at a point

[limber shoal]

no not rlly idk what to choose

[rugged aspen]

uconn gold potatoes

[limber shoal]

whether i go upstate

not going to a local that's for sure

bc i kind of wanna get away from my mom n stuff

[spare elbow]

oooh which ones

[spare elbow]

ayyy sameee, im going oos to avoid my parents lolol

[limber shoal]

my top 3 rn is uconn bing and union

i got waitlisted by lehigh
providence
northeastern
and i think somewhere else but i forgot

it was a rough decision turnout

like yk i thought i wouldn't be emotional about this stuff bc i don't rlly
like when i was rejected ed i wasn't CRYING i was like sad but then i forgot about it in like two days

but after like more decisions coming out and not getting into non reach schools it's like wow

[rugged aspen]

aw

[limber shoal]

i know people say ultimately where u go doesn't matter but it does to a certain extent

[spare elbow]

ok solidddd, i had the same reaction as you yk

its kind of a wierd numbness

[spare elbow]

oof so true so true, it kinda hurts to see everyone else get into their dream schools and being stuck in this limbo but ik youll do great anyways ;)))

that hard work was not for nothing

[arctic plover]

real like once the cycle is over and u didn’t get ur top school it just feels weird

waitlist warrior time begins now!

[spare elbow]

same i got watilisted by most reaches and accepted safeties/targets, and id say im slightly above avg with ecs and essays but ykyk

Its just a lottery everywhere atp

[atomic anchor]

bowdoin let me off the waitlist i want u more than columbia or berkeley 🙏🏻

[arctic plover]

waitlisted means u were competitive ! don’t give up hope

[spare elbow]

so true, this is a great way to look at it

OMG I WANT THEM TO TAKE YOU OFF TOO, YOURE TOO NICE

[arctic plover]

AWWW ILY thank u i hope it works out for us ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[spare elbow]

OFC OFCCC, FINGERS CROSSED (waitlist warriors unite till august coreee)

[upbeat helm]

imagine you're moving into your dorm

and you get an email

you got off the waitlist

[spare elbow]

LOL my nightmare bc the last day for me is aug 1st to hear back

I dont wanna know in july when i get like a roommate too

[arctic plover]

ok it wouldn’t be that late 💔

[spare elbow]

and lowk i dont wanna break if to my roommate if i dont end up going, thats kinda sad T-T

[rugged aspen]

now that ik some ucs hold anime conventions if i encounter a persona cast member (bonus points if it's erika harlacher or max mittelman) dont be surprised if i end being starstruck as hell or like spongebob when he sees santa for the first time in one of the early seasons of spongebob or even cardiac arrest

[arctic plover]

i know a lot of people who got accepted off the waitlist heard back in may but idk if that’s the way for every school

[upbeat helm]

for ut ive heard 3 ppl got off already

in march lol

[spare elbow]

same for NYU, most in june and july

[spare elbow]

is it the people in reddit ngl

[upbeat helm]

yeah

[spare elbow]

ooohh

[upbeat helm]

and one on this server

[spare elbow]

Im so confused how it works bc did they get emailed and whatnot

bc i keep forgetting to check mystatus whoops

[upbeat helm]

reddit said it just changed on mystatus

the person on discord said email

so

[spare elbow]

oof now im gonna obsessively check mystatus everyday

Lowk ima wait for auto admits to deny cola bc i doubt half of them want it lolol

[upbeat helm]

i might be cooked

ece

[spare elbow]

ooof i wish you luck, ece is brutall

Tamu is so good thooo

[upbeat helm]

mhm

realistically im transferring to ut

[spare elbow]

I got blinned tho so lowk went oos instead of UTD lol

[arctic plover]

damn this is insane

[spare elbow]

Yeah even rejected ppl were allowed to put themselves on waitlist for UT so its prob huge lol

[arctic plover]

oh wait this is true LOL

[upbeat helm]

my dad emailed dean at cockrell

[rugged aspen]

meanwhile i got psa program for tamu and the go to another ut school to ut program (cap)

[spare elbow]

yeah its insane

[upbeat helm]

they said like 5/few hundred will get off for eng

[rugged aspen]

i aint going to either

[spare elbow]

Omg are you in TX? cuz sameeee

[arctic plover]

damn what about cola

[rugged aspen]

yeah in state 😭

[upbeat helm]

idk sorry

[spare elbow]

Except i got blinn for Tamu and they wouldnt take my dual credits (i got like a degree and didnt wanna waste it on tamu ngl) and then UT cap for neuro lol

I wouldve committed to tamu if they took college credits for blinn ngl

[spare elbow]

thats lowk such a vague range ngl

[upbeat helm]

yeah thats all they said tho

[spare elbow]

thats crazyy

im gonna assume 50 is like a realistic amt tho in that range

[upbeat helm]

50

holy

pls

[rugged aspen]

i go to a hs in texas that is a feeder school for tamu

i aint going bc i didn't get first year acceptance

[spare elbow]

LOL my school (district) sends so many people to tamu lmaoo

[rugged aspen]

also bc i see my classmates

[rugged aspen]

SAME

even my rival school sends a ton of people there

[spare elbow]

Dallas area? bc then that makes super sense too

[upbeat helm]

for my hs tamu is safety 💀

[rugged aspen]

same town as tamu

😭

[spare elbow]

Everyone and their mother goes to tamu and i got blinned lowk so its kinda funny

[spare elbow]

stoppp thats wildddd

[spare elbow]

same lmao

[rugged aspen]

like between 35% an nearly half of the senior class goes there or blinn

followed by in state non-tamu, then oos

[spare elbow]

Yeahh pretty much over 50% of my school gets tamu or blinn

[rugged aspen]

yes

[spare elbow]

its pretty much a safety for us

[rugged aspen]

same

[spare elbow]

UT it depends cuz my district is tough to get ranked in

[rugged aspen]

yes

mine is too

my school usually sends a handful of seniors to austin

[upbeat helm]

top 6% at my school are all mega sweats

[rugged aspen]

[rugged aspen]

i took 4 junior year and 4 senior year

[rugged aspen]

SAME

[hazy garnet]

JOHN EMORY PLS

[hazy garnet]

JOHN EMORYU

[rugged aspen]

meanwhile my ecs are just art, writing, discord and character creation (with some worldbuilding and psychology tied into it)

[hazy garnet]

[rugged aspen]

[hazy garnet]

Middlebury college has a med school matriculation rate of 90%

[spare elbow]

i shouldve applied to lacs too T_T

But i prob wouldnt have gotten in lol

[rugged aspen]

tbh ill admit im proud that i even got wl at davis/irvine

bc the odds looked so against me

[hazy garnet]

the only thing about lacs is that most of them are all in the middle of buttufkc no where

[rugged aspen]

fr

[spare elbow]

nah you should be proud, that means borderline admitted but just no spots

[rugged aspen]

yeah im praying everyday im taken off the waitlists

[hazy garnet]

my f riend got into davis oos

but idk if he going

[rugged aspen]

damn

[hazy garnet]

davis is 70k while rpi is 5k

[rugged aspen]

yes

[hazy garnet]

he can afford davis byut like

[rugged aspen]

im paying oos first year and the rest is in state bc im moving to cali in the summer

[spare elbow]

[rugged aspen]

[rugged aspen]

[spare elbow]

wait nvm that was abt ed my bad

[upbeat helm]

i did a lil glaze for ut

waitlist

[spare elbow]

so me core

[spare elbow]

[rugged aspen]

i see

[spare elbow]

and that you can afford it

[rugged aspen]

then again the ucs are my dream schools 😭

[spare elbow]

valid valid

[upbeat helm]

"UT’s location provides access to companies like AMD, NXP, and Silicon Labs, as well as cutting-edge research at TACC and Texas ECE. These resources make UT my top choice, I would be honored to contribute to its academic environment. Thank you for your time and consideration."

[spare elbow]

OK W GLAZE

[rugged aspen]

welcome to austin

then again more of a houston girl

[upbeat helm]

im in austin lol

[rugged aspen]

ah

[upbeat helm]

how does ut waitlist work anyways

i heard its not ranked

but what does that mean

[spare elbow]

ngl it makes no sense but im assuming its based on who declines bc they might want a specific class

[upbeat helm]

no but like when a spot opens up

how do they determine who gets it

[spare elbow]

its based on what they dont have so lets say theres no soccer players in their student body, then they might look specifiically for that

[upbeat helm]

shit

they have a lot of robotics kids already

and asians lol

[spare elbow]

But thats just an example, theres prob wayyy more

like reasons

[upbeat helm]

i also wrote kpop dancing in my 200 word

they for sure want me

[spare elbow]

lemme finf a reddit post that explains it very well

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/tip1r6/how_does_the_waitlist_system_work_is_it_a/ here

this is where i learned of it

[upbeat helm]

dawg

if they capped me first time

they dont want me 2nd time

[spare elbow]

nahhh you never know, its highly based on yield

[upbeat helm]

glaze probably helps

[hazy garnet]

discord mod asian male pre med who wrote his common app essay about shaving, is it over??

[spare elbow]

For UT? or like other schools T_T

[knotty steeple]

idk what other peruvian who’s into environmental science could’ve been admitted to penn 💀💀💀

and if there is one

i hope they got into harvard

[spare elbow]

[visual otter]

(me. im the dumbass. please let me in)

[spare elbow]

pls this is so me core rn

💖 they need some diversity of dumb people💖 (its me im the dumb people)

[stable burrow]

day 6 of hoping i get off the berkeley/cmu waitlist

[upbeat helm]

this is the month for withdrawals 🙏

The month to get off the waitlist

[visual otter]

no thats next month

[upbeat helm]

?

Isn't commitment date 5/1

[visual otter]

yes

[upbeat helm]

So most people would commit before it

[visual otter]

a lot of colleges typically let people off of waitlists after commitment date

[upbeat helm]

Ah

This month for ut maybe

[visual otter]

best of luck o7

[upbeat helm]

[tawdry vine]

tineo

my school is in the top 10 😭😭😭😭

he also released an advice video and he actually doesn’t really recommend an advocacy call

unless if it comes from someone insane

[rugged aspen]

hold on why does tineo look so damn familiar

[knotty steeple]

guys my third marking period grades are abysmal rn

holy shit

i hope upenn doesn’t request my grades

bc 💀💀💀💀

[hazy garnet]

lol fr

my 3rd mp is cooked too

senioritis 😭

[rugged aspen]

davis requested my 1st semester grades

got all as so

[hazy garnet]

my first 2 quarters are good

97.23 and 97.3 avg

3rd quarter is s blood bath tho

[knotty steeple]

ikr

[hazy garnet]

a bunch of my grades dropped

[knotty steeple]

holy shit

[hazy garnet]

lang went from 97 to 90 probably ognna go down more

bio went from 97 to 91 prob gonna go down more

[knotty steeple]

actually most of my grades are around the same besides math

[hazy garnet]

Rest are around the same

[knotty steeple]

i hate math

[rugged aspen]

most of my grades are around the same

[knotty steeple]

i wish i didn’t take an extra year of it

[hazy garnet]

i got touched in BC unit 10

test

im done wih BC now

jut review now

[rugged aspen]

calc probably took a few hits but then again last grading period is starting week

[knotty steeple]

i have a d rn because she’s not fixing my grades

like fuck

i alr know she doesn’t like me

but can she at least fix something

[fiery mantle]

ucla plssss🙏

[arctic plover]

he means like don’t spam them and do all of this etc

i think an advocacy call can help if there’s an established relationship

LMAOOO

[knotty steeple]

yeah ur right

[rugged aspen]

true

without a relationship it sounds like a child trying to ask their mom to buy supplies for a project when the due date is tomorrow and it's 9 pm

[spare elbow]

Nah he can’t put NYU on the bottom I wanna be delusional

[south spire]

Wait same

I was in this one class where no one had an a

I had a b minus lol

[spare elbow]

Guys despite what my goat tineo says, I’m gonna have hope for NYU cuz full pay and opted to be considered for everything lolol

My ass is not getting in but might as well hope bc I’ve been writing a poem everyday 😔

[hazy garnet]

wyd if u end up at like NYU abu dhabi or someting

are we going

[spare elbow]

I didn’t opt in for that lmaoo, I opted in for the internal schools of NYU

Like ls core, steinhardt, CAS, gallatin 😭

[hazy garnet]

shouldve opted in for shanghai

what major?

[spare elbow]

Lol I’m not going that abroad ngl but I initially applied for applied psych at steinhardt

[hazy garnet]

premed?

[spare elbow]

It’s one of the easier schools but everyone’s saying it’s basically cooked

[spare elbow]

Yep

[hazy garnet]

ya dnt go intl then if ur pre med

[spare elbow]

Yeah lol staying domestic ngl

[hazy garnet]

im just gonna study abroad some of my pre reqs

[spare elbow]

I’m super cooked atp but I did everything possible so it’s just a waiting game

[spare elbow]

Oooh same I was gonna do a sem of studying abroad fs

[hazy garnet]

i wanna go to asia

Japan or china

maybe korea

[spare elbow]

Funnn my goal since forever was Italy lolol

[sleek lark]

for waitlists, is it completly random or do they look at GPA's and such and then chose from that?

someone on reddit was saying that if a college has institutioanl priorities ex. sports player or musician etc then they would have a higher chance of getting off.. if that true?

[arctic plover]

yes about the institutional priority, e.g. who declines the waitlist

[dusky junco]

advocacy call?

[arctic plover]

it is definitely not random 😭 some schools mandate GPA reports but tbh i don’t think GPA is what makes or breaks it. i think a really good LOCI and some other stuff helps

[arctic plover]

like getting someone to call the AO on your behalf to advocate for you

[dusky junco]

didn't even know ppl did that . . .

[knotty steeple]

ye

[dusky junco]

i feel like they wouldn't like that ..

[knotty steeple]

i wonder if that’s why some people get off from the waitlist earlier

like more niche people first and then “basic” people last

[sly vortex]

So where Yale

[slim tulip]

hey guys does anyone know if binghamton accepts loci for waitlist

in their letter they said dont submit any additional materials 😔

[sullen shore]

i feel like it’s ok if your school has multiple waitlists and the counselor wants to advocate for one student specifically

[visual otter]

most likely not

[sullen shore]

bc the uni cares the most about yield and if the counselor is able to strongly suggest that whoever they’re advocating for will be committing it could be a positive thing

[arctic plover]

wtf there r two nicoles

[arctic plover]

oh maybeeee

[dusky junco]

dont get my hopes up

[winged shoal]

berkeley will take a lot of people off the waitlist this year it came to me in a dream

[arctic plover]

waitlist warrioring continues

[knotty steeple]

i was looking at this one upenn waitlisting post on the subreddit and the girl had a relatively niche major and got off the waitlist may 6th

while other people were waiting until mid may

so maybe it actually is that

which would make the most sense imo

[dusky junco]

shit im cooked

[knotty steeple]

no it’s just a theory

i could be wrong

[arctic plover]

hmmm

it’ll also depend on WHO declines the waitlist

e.g. if a lot of math majors decline they might take a math major off the WL

[knotty steeple]

yeah that too

[arctic plover]

let me get some more data points!

[dusky junco]

surely i get in off of wait-list

surely..!

[arctic plover]

yes yes

[spare elbow]

this is soo stressful like I like my current school but its also sad if i dont get off the one wl bc that was one of dream schools lolol

Like ik NYU is tough and all but its hard to stay hopeful when everyone thinks its dooming (a slight rant lol)

[south spire]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-we-one-gif-18212100

[knotty steeple]

WHAT

oh hell no

i gotta work on my loci

[bleak magnet]

yep 😭

[bleak magnet]

i have no clue man

lemme ask her how

[knotty steeple]

did she already submit a loci?

[dusky junco]

same 🫠 but im on vacation rnnnn

aaaahghhh

[knotty steeple]

wait is it an april fools joke

i forgot that was today

[bleak magnet]

no i know her parents

[bleak magnet]

i’m asking

[knotty steeple]

oh ok

[rocky flax]

are there schools that will get annoyed at counselors emailing or calling to vouch for you?

[little aurora]

😭 🙏

[spare elbow]

most, except select schools who allow it lol

Its usually not a thing ngl

[arctic plover]

someone said that yale specifically doesnt like them

[spare elbow]

yeahh i heard columbia and maybe cornell rn but most schools dont want additional info

[arctic plover]

if you are doing a counselor call, make sure there is reason e.g. there is already an established relationship between your counselor and the AO, or they are some big name like if theyre the president of a country or whatever LMAO

[arctic plover]

wdym about columbia and cornell

[spare elbow]

like that they might accept it

[arctic plover]

oh yeah

well regardless for any school, dont do it unless there is an established relationship

[spare elbow]

Trueeee, if your school doesnt have a relationship with these AOs or not a super crazy person advocating you, it might hurt so be careful with these lolol

[arctic plover]

just dont annoy them LOL like one call and a good loci is plenty plenty plenty

[spare elbow]

frrrr

[sly vortex]

Did they send loci

Wait dude I didn’t even write loci yet

Way

😭

[slim tulip]

day 1 of hoping i get off barnard & bing wl

[rocky flax]

would barnard accept it?

[tawdry vine]

Praying everyday for udub

[visual otter]

feels kinda high tbh

[arctic plover]

tineo put it at the top of his list lol for chances

[knotty steeple]

i hope upenn chances r high this year too

i feel like most people who got into upenn also got into better schools

but idk

i’m just being delusional

🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[arctic plover]

upenn CAS could be possible

wharton wl is super super hard to get off of

[dusky junco]

i hope i have a chance to get into amherst!!!!!! but im probably just delulu

[visual otter]

given the way apps went for a lot of people i feel like waitlist admit % will be a lot lower this year

im mostly bullshitting tho

[arctic plover]

ehhh

i mean a lot of people got waitlisted but a LOT LOT more got straight rejected

[dusky junco]

if i write a rly good loci including that i went to state for 2 extracurriculars .... willl i get into amherst...... ........

[arctic plover]

perhaps give it a try

[dusky junco]

ts pmo 💔

i hate waiting

shouldve just rejected me 💔

[hexed cape]

chat

[arctic plover]

i need to lock in for icdc bro if i can win an international award 💔 surely

[dusky junco]

(not really haha please let me in amherst)

[visual otter]

was thinking along the lines of:
most people get rejected at their top choices -> settle for schools they got accepted to -> yield is higher than normal -> less people get off wl

maybe im projecting though 😭

[hexed cape]

what is the probability that i get off from at least one of these

• gt
• umich
• cmu
• rice
• bowdoin

[visual otter]

depends on your major

[dusky junco]

in reality we can treally know

[hexed cape]

i have nothing to update and my grades have been horrible asf

[dusky junco]

but bowdoin wants u fr 🙏

[hexed cape]

math stat data sci

[arctic plover]

i mean i actually feel like people who got into great schools probably also got into other great ones, theres a ton of crossadmits so there could absolutely be decent waitlist movement

[visual otter]

hopefully

[dusky junco]

im psych + english am i cooked

[knotty steeple]

yeah tineo put it at 7th place because not a lot of people get waitlisted in the first place

[visual otter]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dusky junco]

english not engi

should specify that

😭

[arctic plover]

loci loci loci

[dusky junco]

loci loci loci

[visual otter]

berkeley doesn't accept loci's 😭

[sleek lark]

lociiiii

[visual otter]

should probably work on my CMU one ngl

[dusky junco]

bowdoin doesnt accept them so the only one i have to write si for amherst

which is like

[sleek lark]

i need to write mine for cornell and nyu

[dusky junco]

my dream schoo

[sleek lark]

cmu has one too??

[hexed cape]

oh!

[dusky junco]

so ill be like rly passionate about it. ..

[dusky junco]

ya :<

[arctic plover]

😞

[visual otter]

kinda? they have an update form when you actually opt in to the waitlist

[sleek lark]

oh

huh

i dont remember that

i thought it was a button

[visual otter]

hence why i havent opted in

[sleek lark]

[hexed cape]

bowdoin surely wants someone who plays a string instrumentbow !doin~

[dusky junco]

[visual otter]

not percent. 32 people

[sleek lark]

skull emoji

x2

[hexed cape]

i mean a lot of ppl rejected wont even reply to the poll ngl

sampling bias

[dusky junco]

[hexed cape]

[visual otter]

LMFAO

[sleek lark]

we had a double harvard legacy + 4.0 + 1600 + USAMO 3x get waitlisted from harvard

[hexed cape]

i think only one person might go tho

cuz the 3 caltech accepted ppl were

[arctic plover]

yeah what the hell 😭

[visual otter]

i think all of our ivies+ got in EA

[hexed cape]

i wonder what their essays were abt

[sleek lark]

1 girl in my calc class got into stanford but she was double legacy and recruit for volleyball bro she had a 32 ACT 😭

[arctic plover]

😭

[sleek lark]

i think they were decent ngl cuz hes a pretty strong writer from what ive seen

[hexed cape]

so im p sure only 1/3 is going to caltech

[arctic plover]

lowkey getting recruited to stanford volleyball or just any stanford sport is hard as hell props to her

[sleek lark]

his brother goes there rn sooo he wanted to be with him as well lol

[arctic plover]

stanford takes sports very seriously

[sleek lark]
