eh cornell's housing is ok
its not glamorous or smth
esp if u get in a sextuple or smth
(they overadmitted this yr)
they prob wont do it again
If I get in it’ll probably be through dc anyways
oh ok
idk how housing is there
might do dc next yr if they offer good govt courses
aka ones that count to the major
anyone have any idea what level of calculus ib aa sl math equates to 
Does your "corn" tag refer to cornell or are you just a really big fan of corn?
It won't load for me
why cant it be both
I mean... it ban
No clue, Im not on a traditional path so I have no clue what to put there
Out of all the teams in the prem
Liverpool arent the ones i hate the most
I like them quite a lot actually
it wont let me use the word that they use to refer to liverpool fans
but ifykyk
yes i am a cornell student
lemme go consult good ol biggreen
are u applying to eng
i keep seeing tiktoks of yalls snow and i crave it so bad
i dont
How harsh are the winters compared to in the Mediterranean?
nah cals
well im between cals and cas but i think cals
then the math doesnt matter too much ask chatgpt
if it was eng it prob would
the cold is so much better than heat
summer pisses me off
It’s so cold in nyc I can’t imagine Ithaca
back home the COLDEST it gets is 0 celcius
Damn
ah alr thanks
yeah np
The coldest it gets here is like what? Around 10?
i need -30 degrees weather
yeah u will die here
it will get even colder when i come back
Theres a winter break though atleast
nooo that's lovely
yeah im counting the days till i get on the plane home
do yall got proper heating
otherwise it might be cooked
but nothing beats a good winter and a warm cozy time 
Anyone nolan school here?
That's good
One of my options for schools is in Marrakech and the A/C barely works
Yeah
It's not like I'm gonna get accepted there anyway, I'm a whole point off the threshold to even be considered to pass the entry exam
oh u guys got national entrance ones yes?
Yup
thankfully i skipped those cause i got into 🌽 L
Well depends
whats good cornellians
Alot of private schools have their own
yeah
But I haven't heard of a good school here without an entry exam
EE isnt even that good, that's one of the main reasons why I'm applying to the US
I am also applying eu, but I'm a US citizen and for my career path the US makes the most sense
oh i was gonna say if ur not a citizen not worth going to a lower tier school
but if u are then yeah
but keep in mind the financial investment and your ROI
unless u get like crazy aid or smth
Yeah, I know
what do u want to study again
But between financial aid, scholarships and probably working part time as well it should be manageable
EE
elec eng?
Yes
Or computer engineering, but EE is a bit broader
Obviously
Thats pretty good
def covers personal expenses
Only thing about Cornell is Ithica is kinda far from NYC
well why would u want to go to nyc
Internships mainly
trust me if u find an internship the 4 hour drive wont be a problem
it will prob be paid
if its unpaid cornell has funds to help usually
although they are competitive
i went to nyc for thanksgiving
its nice for a bit
but too expensive
and chaotic for my liking
also almost got rammed 4 times on the bridge by stoopid nyc drivers
they need to make them learn how to drive a 1990 toyota yaris stick shift without any safety systems
then they can drive their automatics with a million monitors
Even then, people are just stupid
Getting a drivers license is harder here than in the US, people aren't any better at driving
yeah ik
i got my license back home
was a pain in the ass and took around 6 months
here
i took the permit without studying
passed in 2 minutes
now im doing a stupid 5 hour course
and ill pass the road test so overall 5 days
As someone who has lived in nyc their whole life visiting and living are much different
What age do you have to be in greece? 18?
ofc this applies everywhere
I'm waiting for my 18th birthday to pass mine
but im not a new yorker so ill always feel out of place
The thing is, you need to be 18 to pass the license, but you cant technically take lessons until 18, so I'm tryna do a little workaround
ehhhhhhhhhhh
Yeah I’ll wait until the summer for me to get my license
Officially, no
my driving instructor was willing to write up lessons that never happened lol
It's iffy
if youre in the city and dont have a car i would just say wait till u get to ithaca to do it
its much easier here
i failed my 1st road test bc the examiner wanted 200 euro bribe lol
thought he could scam me
Thats crazy
im sure that happens too in morroco yes
Probably
Would you say a car is needed in ithica? I know in some other big cities with good public transport it isn't
im going to be real w u
as a freshman thats also intl prob not
but u cant go anywhere comfortably without a car except within campus and downtown ithaca
i rent when i want to go somewhere
eg boston, nyc, etc
but its expensive
as a young driver its the car price + 80 $ a day young driver fee
i dont pay that bc i found a loophole but i wont share the loophole
bc it will get patched
I failed my first road test because I got anxious during it, so now I’m scared 💀
bro
ngl
i respect the stressed part
but HOW TF
DO U FAIL THAT
if u cant pass it u shouldnt be driving imo
My cousin had to take the road test like 4 times I think
no i respect intl road tests
bc they genuienly are harder
they want to see if youre confident in the vehicle
meanwhile ny road test is just to make sure u wont kill someone when going 25 mph in the city
the us has some crazy low standards for driving
my nj road test was just a 5 minute closed course
oh yeah we dont care
which means i can push 90 no problem
my first lesson my instructor took me on a highway and told me to go past 65 and just kept nodding until i hit 80
W instructor
prepared you for nj
no i ❤️ nj
i got a speeding ticket in ny
but no issue in nj
I know that near where I live, some guy was going like 250kmh with his friend filming and hit the back of a truck
From what I remember there was a casualty, but the guy that survived posted the crash on his story
i allegedly did around 180 kmh and the state police got pissed
Speed responsibly
ngl i get why they have low speed limits here
cause the drivers suck
if they had them high they would prob have a population reduction
ayo
Natural selection
Why not?
I wanna explain my plans to exploit the bad drivers and use them in driving tests
What major are you?
So in your application you didnt have that "describe cornell in 3 words" shit
Real what am I gonna say in 100 words
no idea
"what brings me joy would be a Cornell acceptance"
And food tbh
guys i wrote about minecraft for my cas question 1 about community
what specifically about minecraft, could be lowkey a good one
it was about a minecraft server with my friends
my community essay was so basic lowk i wish i experimented with it more
I feel like I cooked on mine
i keep flipflopping between liking and hating my essays
I only hate mine after i submit them
its ok ur getting in hopefully
and if u want cornell so bad
I mean its cornell, everything is very selective
who is applying to suny cortland bruh
cals even has transfer agreements
What dows this mean
i hope i get transfer optioned
this means if u are a cracked transfer student u can get in
i wouldn’t mind going bing for a year then transferring tbh
binghampton already accepted me
only good thing about bing are their frats
I hate bing as a city though
For cals or for all of cornell
Even vestal lowkey sucks
def for the public side of cornell
and ive also seen transfers in cas
I hope i get in sbu im fine with living in Long Island for a bit
though they’re using ai in their admissions process apparently
if u have the stats to get into cornell ur getting into sbu lol
i’d like to but i don’t want to assume i’ve been accepted rn 💔
i’ll jinx it
yes if u say smth the AO is gonna sense it and move ur application to the deny bin
its 10 more days
chances are ur decision has been finalised
if u do get in come and tour the school
i’ve been around campus before since ithaca is only like an hour and a half away from where i live but i’ve never been on an actual tour
my bestie’s applying to ic so hopefully we both get in and stay in the same city 🥹
yeah thatd be cool
Same but I think I’m the only one doing brooks
my school has like a 25% ed cornell acceptance rate lol
Did Cornell ask anything after u sent ur application?
After my application they didn’t ask anything from me. Am I cooked?
My school was 50 applied 14 accepted last year
mine too, we had 25 ppl commit last year and 32 get in
ok but like. it’s not ok there, trust
wait but like
this was sneaky a blessing in disguise
cause i had a lot of material for other supps
after doing this first
Holy that’s a lot
Feeder/big class?
any nolan applicants here?
would it be okay if I dm you? I had a question about cas
do yall think decisoins are made or will they even consider a major update on an award i submitted lke 2 days ago
either way submit it
no point in worrying because you cant really know
yeah i did lol this might be big enough to be make or break 🙏
damn 🫰
sure
Rich people hs on Long Island?
Ok 100% made but if u get deferred or wait u have a chance
Yes lmao
jericho?
bro I ain’t doxxing myself that hard
i mean i think theyre still sending out grade requests to some?
so probably its like almost wrapped up
PLZ take my application out the bin bro
did we all Ed here?
i did
i did
EE
i eded for comp sci and linguistics
cas
i hope
i genuinely have no clue
I’ve been in my like bubble of elitist bullshit high school
bruh private?
magnet ?
ngl me too 💀
i go to a normal public but it's pretty competitive
The three best ranked people in my hs made a pact on where to ED to not compete with each other
It we kinda crazy
interesting
my schools in the middle of a bunch of T30 colleges
but i don tthink its very competitive
One of the people is so confident she’s getting into Harvard tbh that she didn’t Ed
...
but I mean she did make like top 30 on physics Olympiad
so maybe she’s like
Right
but still
💔
💔💔💔
The only other elite school I applied was Yale
But mostly for like
Shits and giggles
ahh
im throwing a wide net for T20s
20ppl from my school get into the same t10 school each year
but i dont wnna go there
cornell is my only hope ngl
which one
Duke
bro thats so elitist...
Idk
everyone there is so rich
parents saw my ACT score and thought I’d actually get in places
But my ECs are trash
so
I’m probably not
Cornell is prob my only good shot
my gpa is pretty bad for my school but my ecs are fine i think
i think duke is probably much easier but maybe cuz its just a lot of ppl from my school get in
yeah
i heard CALS was easier for NY residents to get into
why woudl cornell ask for 1st quar grades
mabhye they asked for mine but our schools conuselors are so bummy that i doubt they'd tell me
if they account 1st quarter grades i can say goodbye to my 4.0 😭
no they dont...
yeah theyre not required
but i think maybe if your academics/gpa isnt that good they want to see ur continuing to do better senior year?
Brooks for me
Well now I’m emailing my consluer
does CAS ask for highest math class btw
No
maybe
I don’t EXCATLY remeber
I took AP BC so it wasn’t a problem for me
ahh thats good
i think the avg engineering applicant has probably done like calc 3 linear so im scared
its chill
hi
I was asked about my highest math class too
we all got our state school safeties
whats bing
oh nice
are yall gonna do UNC
I literally submitted in August
Wdym
Cornell is releasing so late this yr fr
the college
oh nice
ill only get into 1 🙏
Ur humble bragging is giving me ptsd
Mine???
😭
u got bing tho dw about it
sorry 💔
that’s true
yeah i havent gotten anything yet :C
i got some acceptances from like safety rolling schools but i dont intend on going to any of them 💔
where did u end up going?
ya same
Im at cornell
i just got my acceptance from pitt
yeah me too a week ago
Makes sense
Lmao
:C
I’m getting UGA this friday(?)
Is Cornell gonna be ur first decision?
yeah

i think unc is 2 days after
uchi is right after cornell
oh man I wish all the best for you
lmao
Yeah but i applied private colleges in cornell
thanks :)
20th right?
yep
Applied and got into Eng but transferred to CAS
might be differnt from OOS tho
im p sure uchi ea releases on the 19th
im premed double majoring in cog sci and info sci
Pretty sure it is
oh did u not like COE
Woah that’s a lot but very admirable
yeah I’m in state tho so
I was premed before anything else and didnt want to need to lock in to that extent
wait this is kinda a stupid question do u know a molly or a Helena
😭 given theres like 15k undergrads here
okay worth a shot 💔💔
💀
RTP?

Theres def 200 ppl named benjamin li
yeah i figured
yes

I almost got doxxed on chance me
theres so many ways to get doxxed
i think anyone can find my name in like 5 minutes from my discord profile
i mean does it really matter anyways
ts is so relatable
oh wait we have so many mutual friends
I’m doing hs in India
im like an averaeg smart student and their trying to get me to apply HYPSM
im cooked 😭
*they’re and u never know
yeahh so it’s been a few years since I’ve gone to school there

Me with my 1540
I got my act score back while visiting Dartmouth it was so hype
how was it
isnt there like nothing to do at dartmouth
thats true
Too small for me
idk their campus looks hella nice
ya good point
it was gorgeous but I did visit when it was 10 degrees
idkk tbh school has been killing me here
brown campus gives me weird vibes
I did brown pre college I HATED it
i went in april for some competition the dorms bro
but yeah I get what you mean
must be hyper comp
personally i dont like penn as well
Scioly?
almost more brutalist than stony brook
nah the math competition
our top 10% of the grade is 4.68-4.82 weighted
i was there for a hackathon and the first thing i see when driving in is a homeless person peeing under a bridge with a upenn logo on it
And friendless
oh yeah they do I did them
ive been involved with stony brook for like 4 years
i got rejected from simons 💔
oh which one
oh when?
bro idk
oo my friend did garcia like 2 yrs ago and got into cmu
which one was that
and brown 💀
garcia is the materials science one right
Regeneron
garcia is for stem research in general
Yea
i got rejected from bu rise bro
anyone else do stem research here
oh did u apply sts
i do
I did BNL HSRP
my sts paper is fried as fuck i dont wanna look at it ever again
FRRRR!!!
What’s ur topic
Gimme the title
i had a couple ppl from my school do hsrp
StutterZero and StutterFormer: End-to-End Speech Conversion for Stuttering Transcription and Correction
lightning research
I did nuclear physics isotopes
gonna get doxxed but it's fine atp
very awesome physics is beyond me
i mean idk if they did it as part of the program but my friend has been doing bnl research for a while
It was the coolest experience of my life I toured their accelerator
oh awesome
have u been to pppl?
Wait bro was it quantum
the princeton plasma physics lab or whatever
no cas
oh
Sounds creative
me
tbh i have no idea
was he Korean
particle physics is actually wizardry to me
oh nice whats ur major?
that specific person is not korean
i applied as meche cuz my ecs revolve around that but ill prob declare as orie if i get in
yea
dang GL
wbu?
i think it's after ed
i did EE but want to go into photonics
march??
oh nvm
o thats soon
first week of jan
oh yeah have any colleges released data yet
nah idts
Yes
my sts app was completly fried i wrote everything the night before
and then i lowk forgot to check the box that said i was a US citizen so i had to email them after and be like "yeah im indeed american"
did u apply to cas or coe?
😭
omg 😭
lmaooo
CAS
bio?
chem
ohh nice
not pre med though
i lowk shouldve applied ed to cas for physics
i dont think getting into CAS is much easier
my friend told me internal transfer isnt that hard
i lowk have a physics spike tho
I should’ve done biology CALs and then transferred to CAS
physics is basically engineering
oh yeah i know a guy who transferred from cals to coe
did u do the physics olys
as long as its stem
oh how far did u get on usapho
hey better than me
wth
yo same tf
u srs?
my friend
i got a 5 on the last f=ma
Swear on my life
theres a school right next to my school that has 3 MOPers
ong
like wtf
and my friend that went still has this year to make ipho
are u in the bay or smth
NC
What is MOP
raleigh area?
top 50 us for math
hes prob gonna be our first male MIT admit in like 5+ years
the #1 hs math student in the country is at my high school 👍 👍 👍 👍
isnt there a school called raleigh school of mathematics or something
yooo
its not that school
alexander wang?
yeah 💀
hes cracked bro
Woah
TJ?
is he class rank 1 or nah
no hes not valedictorian
but like 10% gpa
so good enough for all intents and purposes
nj
wtf
bro anyone who makes the math/phys/chem/bio camp are lowk guaranteed into mit
yeah i always joke mit has a dorm with his name engraved on it already
i think i just gotta put the fries in the bag
i mean all the princeton local schools r usually insane
lawrenceville?
even then nj is just crazy
Ru NY based
i live in nj
probably idek
i am fully new jerseyan
ahhh
I cannot wait to meet all of u at orientation for Cornell
wait idk why im here
oh we have cedar point tho
wait have u been to the us air force museum
i didnt even ed here
theres truly nothing to do if ur in a college tonw
it's really cool i highly recommend
NJ has great adventure
where is it in ohio tho
daytona
oh wait actually
u mean dayton right
oh lol
yeah i stopped by dayton while coming back from indiana (purdue visit)
XD
im just hella anxious for my friend
didnt thye say theyre inceasing incoming class size by 20%
only for class of 31 unfortunately
rip
dang GL
thank you
o7
i hope everyone in this channel is just stacked asl or else no shot i have a chance
WE are all going to a NY ivy
Hell yea we are
ok like statistically one of us should get into Cornell right
u got it gng
16%
it was 18.8 last yr
I think if I wasn’t at my HS I’d have a decent chance
also the people in this server prob try harder than most ed applicants anw
meche
lowk cmu cs is hella depressing
i visited there for my friend and literally everyone looked depressed
yeah but id tihnk statistically its much harder
even more so than cornell
my friend got into cmu cs but not cornell cas ed tho
i guess it depends on the college
What’s yall write ur common app essay on
ts is all i have 💔 💔 💔 💔
stormchasing
a rock
That’s so fucking cool
thats crazy
yea someone from my school applied
i don't know anything about long island i wont even lie
thanks lol its the only uniquei thing i do 😭
all i know is that sbu is 2 hours away from grand central by train and thats all i gafed about
its closer to like 80-90 mins i thought
i just know that i wouldve gotten cooked by imo kids if i applied rea to princeton 🥀
idk i usually use ronk
idk everyone tells me different things
but i wouldn't know bc i'm not from long island
Okay hi I’m a LI local
it sucks
lived here 18 years
I live upstate 💔 Hayy
I’m doing eveurbting in my power to get out
no way its that bad lmao
long island is pretty bipolar
Wtf happens down there
I hate the people
oh thats fair
like east is pretty nice
very true
WAIT do u know an emily
Emily who
💀
LMAO
uhh last name starts with z ends with g
latter
I don’t know it but it’s funny that I guessed it
I know a Huang
goes to Cornell actually
how many hs are there on LI
like how many good high schools?
yea
long island is the entire island
I mean we all got good bagels
ohhh
li has the same population as nyc pretty much
bro i think nyc is peak
i know someone who goes to gnnhs
o
lowkey i got some girl from northport's bing acceptance letter with mine in the mail
my hs is a beast at scioly I’m pretty sure
WHTA
LOL
thats ridiculous
yea mines like decent
actually our science bowl is cracked
might doxx me lol
LI is expensive. If you’re conservative you’ll fit in but if you’re left leaning at all? Nuh uh. The people are judgy. Espicsllt around stonyvroom there’s nothing to do. The highways are crowded and traffic is bad
omg the drivers bro
you’re either caught in city traffic or montauk traffic
LMAO
wait
i had like
such a similar experience
some 20 yr old hit me in a parking lot too
like 3 weeks ago
i was moving but he ran a stop
Scary
bro
it’s horrible
U live upstate? It’s a different BEAST
idk
maybe I’m biased
I’ve always wanted out
i wonder what all the intl stuednts at sbu think
if it was simons then good for him
heyy yall
henlo
we all still holding in there for ed 😭
so close to losing it
nice to meet you tooo
I’m learning a dance to cope
i have a load of physics work i need to review but instead im just doomscrolling discord
no
no
why not
dont wanna
ok
👍
yeah
some part of me (the one that applied) believes ill beat the odds
i reread my caps the other day and lowkey i hate it so bad
but like gang i am NOT all that 😭😭
I think we all feel that
read my soul
i went Arts and Sciences with a Poli Sci major but my school has a debate team I didn't join when I LITERALLY want to go into law
just for that alone idt i'll get in
😭
nah debate lowk overrated
me w scioly
i still have 3 schools i need to apply to but i literally cant make myself do it lol
yeah me too
i cant bring myself to start rds
i put my last ounce of creativity into my UC essays and just completely gave up after that
i just loaded my list with schools that meet all demonstrated need + applying to some big name scholarships and calling it a night tbh
i'd honestly be going happy to my state flagship i can basically make do anywhere tbh
the main issue is not being broke afterwards
💀
i have like 25 more essays to write bruh
WHAT
yeah me too 💀
including the 7 cornell engineering
the ""Plan"""" is to shotgun a bunch of T20s in RD but i hope it never gets to that
lowk if i get into like georgia tech
the only T20s im applying to are Cornell and Yale so it feels so much is riding on this ED decision lol
id be happy going there
Me too
