No judgement

Do u have specific schools u would consider over yale? or just waiting to see

it would only be Princeton if a) i got in b) they gave me good aid and c) if Yale didnā€™t match said aid

i mean i also do think its worth it to go to both bdd and princeton admit weekend

#

although i think pton is just a day

hard wind
#

or ig the UCs if they gave me money

#

but it would have to be a lot of money and that isnā€™t happening

Speaking of yale aid i need to do my shit lol

Which state/region r u in if you don't mind sharing?

eager frost
#

In state šŸ’€ šŸ’€ šŸ’€

misty palm
#

yea sm1 ik got an interview yday

#

seems it was either late request by interviewer or they must need more info last minute by an AO

obsidian oriole
#

do intls also get late interviews, or is it exlusively a domestic thing?

#

I was interviewed along with 2 other guys from my country, our requests were sent on the same day at the same time, down to a minute.

#

also afaik, at the exact same time, 2 other guys from a neighboring country got one as well

#

so it seems more or so automated for intls (for the context, my region has no alumni, and we all got a regular Virtual Senior one)

summer halo

#

it wasnt that late, it happened on 2/27

#

the interviwer said that he had to do it by marhc 1

void apex
#

guys there are no signs

#

someone shouldf make a bot that reassures people to not look for 'signs' or wtv

#

theres genuinely no need to stress

left edge
#

the guy said that hes ussually only ever interviewd ppl in his town in california so it was odd that yale assigned him to me

left edge
#

what does that even mean

#

ohh

#

lmao

void apex
#

people stress sm

left edge
#

yea true

void apex
#

people were asking for yale portal astro jhu astro etc. like they dont have to stress that much

it doesnt hurt to wait

Itā€™s in a week

What is the point of all of this fantasizing šŸ˜­

bleak sun
#

I need to get a hobby meltingsob

native smelt
#

Like letā€™s lock in

#

go outside

bleak sun
#

how is ur day going good sire

native smelt
#

Yale is cool but like itā€™s not all that

native smelt
#

i called my friend for like 3 hrs which was nice

#

i have an exam at 9 am the day we get back tho and i have not started studying

your application is complete

bleak sun
native smelt
#

but iā€™m going to baltimore on tuesday until saturday for a conference

bleak sun
#

ohhhh

native smelt
#

and iā€™m not confident in my ability to get work done during the conference

bleak sun
#

same thing i have

native smelt
#

Cuz iā€™m also behind in some of my classes so ive been trying to catch up

#

Today i realized im deadass 4 lectures behind in stats šŸ’”

#

and for linear i started reading from like chapter 2a cuz im trying to improve intuition

#

but reading the textbook taking notes and doing practice problems takes time

#

hm

#

i mean it depends on the class

#

but are stem lectures interesting anywhere

native smelt
#

Iā€™m sure analysis will be less boring

#

But my linear prof kinda just teaches directly from the textbook

#

Which is nice but not super engaging

#

which ones did u go to

#

yeahhhh

#

i mean my classes arenā€™t all that amusing this semester

#

i think upper level math gets more interesting just because it gets smaller and more discussion based

#

in my stem lectures iā€™m literally just taking notes the whole time

#

goes by too quick

#

thatā€™s when i go

#

i need to get back into going bruh

#

oh did u go to polaks lecture?

#

the game theory one?

#

i went to that during bulldog days it was really interesting

foggy geyser
#

mine is on "Complete"

native smelt
#

i want to take game theory with polak but idk if it will fit in my schedule

#

i also donā€™t rlly feel like taking micro lol

#

i took a social science lecture last sem it was kinda boring

#

matter of fact i donā€™t know if ive like enjoyed a lot of my classes lol

#

a good amount yeah

native smelt
#

my french class is kinda a drag

#

i didnā€™t notice that until i actually came

#

weā€™re very artsy

#

like everyone is sneaky in some random dance or acapella group

#

iā€™m so excited because iā€™m performing during it this year

#

and i remember wanting to perform in it when i was watching in the spring

#

full circle

#

is stanford not as artsy?

#

i feel like most people donā€™t enjoy bdd itā€™s kind of a facade

#

itā€™s like so cool

#

iā€™m not tapped in enough to the arts

#

i feel like itā€™s just hard because half the ppl arenā€™t even going to yale

#

and then half the people r treating it like itā€™s summer camp and making a clique with the first people they see

#

so it felt a little isolating for me at least

#

but i met a lot of cool people that im still friends with

#

wait did u go last year? or are you a sophomore

#

ic

#

wait huh

#

making friend groups during a 3 day visit šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

#

i need to go to more arts performances

#

they downgraded :(

#

i think the food is still good tho

#

it just gets a little repetitive

#

is there nothing by palo alto

#

where did u stay?

#

ohh

#

yeah i stayed in silliman

#

it was nice we went to the buttery the last night and that was fun

#

but i feel like it wouldā€™ve been fun to stay on old campus

#

idk if iā€™m gonna host people

#

iā€™m waiting to see if my friend who got deferred gets in

#

i love my colleges butt

native smelt
#

staying in ben frank kinda sucks tho bc ur so far from everything

#

iā€™m so excited for spring yale

#

when trees have leaves again

#

why not

i feel like thatā€™s unfortunately not in my future

meager bloom
native smelt
#

i need to take an easy math class

native smelt
#

math or stats

#

probably stats but taking a lot of math

#

maybe

#

i think i wanna go to grad school

#

but quant sprinkled in between for some money would be nice

#

damn

#

i think so

#

i donā€™t rlly wanna join like the recruiting clubs

#

but if i want an internship i probably should

#

idk i donā€™t fw the kind of people who do quant

#

i just want to have money to save before grad school

#

six figures in the savings sounds nice

#

i donā€™t fw consulting or ib

#

but i feel like with a math major thereā€™s not many ways to make money apart from quant or academia

#

and academia ur broke for a while

#

ur right

#

maybe i should just give up my sellout dreams

#

pray that trump gives us some more money for research

gray scroll
#

We gotta let the delulu go now

void apex
#

i was considering switching to econ bc originally i applied as a chem major

#

but depending on how my internship w/ the dana-farber/mass gen hosp goes, ill see if research is for me

native smelt
#

but itā€™s funny your enacting the yale canon event before youā€™ve even been admitted lol

u can change freely until sophomore yr u just have to have something put down before u become a junior

void apex
#

I see

native smelt
#

but if u go to the DUS after junior year (director of undergrad studies for your major) and give them a plan on how ur gonna complete ur major on time

#

theyā€™ll let u switch after sophomore year

native smelt
#

i really like the pizza in berkeley so i donā€™t like to spend money on pizza lol

void apex
#

fair enough

native smelt

i went to one6three with a friend the other day tho which was nice bc i feel like u donā€™t often have time to sit down at a restaurant and eat

native smelt

I love pizza so Iā€™m interested in how it tastes there compared to mass, Iā€™d love to try ny pizza too ngl

"T2/BC Calc-an inspirational Idr and community builder; he made it "cool" and "fun" to explore math; as material got harder, his grades got better - this is a great rec, the kind that gets to 6 level even without the use of superlatives." Holy glaze bro šŸ˜‚ āœŒļø

void apex
# upbeat portal thats fire usually counselors write generic ones

Yeah, but itā€™s honestly because I know him quite well, (i go to his office a lot to just chat/give updates since heā€™s an important person in my college journey + Iā€™ve just been that kind of student who loves talking to teachers/counselors) and he was able to provide concrete examples of leadership in his letter, etc.

most of my interviewers said going to an ivy isnā€™t going to drastically change ur life and that itā€™s more what u make of the college experience. like u going to yale for undergrad is not going to stop u from perusing whatever u want

like my stanford interviewer asked me to rank some of my colleges i applied to and told me he just wanted to see what i was doing (not being stupid and only applying to stanford/reaches). he then talked about some of his thoughts on the colleges i applied to (he hates vanderbilt and division of their student athlete amenities and the student body, so his daughter chose northwestern for swimming)

only thing i remember him hating about all of them

he had something nice to say abt every college

he is like harvard honey

rich grotto

#

he played squash for princeton and then

#

he told me all about his gay roommate (to comfort me ig)

#

and then told me princeton is only ā€œconservativeā€ because of its roots in the confederacy during the civil war

#

he then sent me the website that the university runs

#

which documents every (or most) ties it has with the confederacy

eager frost
#

we also had an interesting sentence starter

somber talon
#

oh that's so fun! that's good that u had that conversational tone to ur interview

#

my yale guy and i were able to talk a lot bc so many of my ecs and internships had direct connections to his community which made for a really nice conversation

meager bloom

what the fuck is interview astro

#

iā€™m crine šŸ˜­ šŸ˜­

somber talon

idk

#

maybe they were like This interview is soooo late so maybe theyre on the fence abt u

eager frost
#

the mit person said if you get in and the yale person said if you choose to attend

eager frost
meager bloom
somber talon
#

My interviewer did NOT say ANYTHING about me ever attending

eager frost
#

didnā€™t you go to his house or something

somber talon
#

Yes

#

I actually need to stop talking about it

eager frost
#

was it bad

somber talon
#

I lowk dont know

#

Because it was really conversational. the whole thing was an hour and we were just talking back and forth. but he seemed very condescending at points

#

Neither of his kids go to ivies and he himself seemed to really hate ivy undergrad?

meager bloom
#

see i didnā€™t talk about any of my ec in any of my interviews

meager bloom
somber talon
#

i was rlly confused bc he was like ok anya tell me about anything that went underrepresented on your application

#

instead of asking me any actual questions

eager frost
#

i mean the aos can already access this information

meager bloom
#

like i talked a lot about farmers markets and gardening fresh produce in my backyard

somber talon
#

I talked abt the opera bruh

eager frost
#

there is an ec ranking?

#

I think thatā€™s what the aos use not what the interviewers use

#

Mine didnā€™t want to hear about my awards LOL

somber talon
#

@meager bloom all of his kids go to either conservative catholic schools or umiami

meager bloom
#

fuckass umiami omg šŸ˜­

misty palm
#

what happened?

somber talon
#

i asked him if he still kept in touch with his yale friends and he was like YEA IM BRINGING THEM OVER TONIGHT FOR THE UMIAMI GAME.

eager frost
#

I mean you got one so they are at least interested in you

#

that school is really random

I was trying to talk abt yale environmental humanities and was talking abt their course on thoreau and he was like oh have u ever been to walden. walden pond

#

Hes so scary

meager bloom

#

Amir rakhminov....

meager bloom
#

my interviewer talked about this

somber talon
meager bloom
#

she told me she took an environmental writing class with this professor who chooses to live like thoreau and that it was her favorite class

somber talon
#

He had no clue what i was talking abt he asked me to repeat myself so that he could write it down

#

Why am i so yale locked in

somber talon
#

wtf...how does that work in the winter

#

u can't even stay that isolated now either with how urbanized connecticut is

meager bloom
somber talon
#

it's like germany there now

meager bloom
#

i think she meant he more epitomizes him

somber talon
#

Ohhh

meager bloom
#

and his ideas

somber talon
#

I WAS too literal.

meager bloom
#

and thatā€™s how he lives

#

yeah šŸ˜­

somber talon
#

I was like wait....walden pond 2.0

#

And then i told him that the only time i had been to massachusetts was for the moby dick marathon and he stared at me funny

#

I hope he put that down in his little interview report.

meager bloom
#

my interviewer asked ā€œhave u had the chance to visit yaleā€ and i said no because who has that money and then i explained i rarely leave my town like at all and have only flown an airplane like twice in my life and she was like ā€œoh thatā€™s rough. youā€™ll like east coast transport.ā€

eager frost
#

as a ct resident the east coast transport is not that good

somber talon
#

u will.......

#

we WILL be taking the metronorth line from new haven to the city

#

Guys my interviewer spoke very little about yale

eager frost
#

my harvard interviewer spoke very little about harvard

meager bloom
eager frost
#

my yale interviewer said something equally niche

meager bloom
#

but my yale interviewer told me how to get the best produce at the new haven farmers market so iā€™m ready to fuck up those vendors if i get in ā¤ļø

somber talon

Wait realizing that my airbuds is still on

#

I've been listening to britten opera for the past hour

First you have to closely inspect your portal for anything that seems out of the ordinary
