Cornell University (2025-2026)

[frozen cape]

my ap gov class is switching teachers midyear

😭

im really trying to get a proper grasp on ap gov / micro but it feels like a lot of the nuances of the subjects get missed by my teachers

ap art has been super fun so far because im not going into it desperately trying to get a 5 on the ap

as long as i have an A in that class and i get to make shit i like we chilling

ap lit is stressful but i also do every assignment so

i honestly really like my schedule

even if the teaching is inconsistent

[deft jolt]

I hate my schedule ngl

I have only 5 classes but 4 are humanities

so stereotypical stem mindset of not liking them…

😭

[frozen cape]

i had sociology last year it was so fire bro

i got a perfect 100

history through film TOO

bro the electives at my school are so good

im in creative writing rn

gpa boosters 😭

[dim wigeon]

Dudee im in AP art too what is your investigative theme

I submitted a portfolio even though I applied for CoE, hope it boosts me somehow 😭

[frozen cape]

I LOWKEY DONT HAVE ONE LMFOAOAO but i think im going to lean into abstract art using construction paper to express things that i love / are important to me and challenge myself

i doubt an abstract art portfolio will get a 5 but like idc i love it sm so far

let me take a photo of the piece im working on

[deft jolt]

Oh is the exam just submitting a portfolio/project at the end of the year?

[dim wigeon]

We need to submit a bunch of pieces centering around an investigative question/theme

[deft jolt]

Ah okay

[frozen cape]

we're cooking ngl

[dim wigeon]

Oo is this about marine life?

[frozen cape]

yess it is

im doing my series on it 3 pieces

[peak socket]

690rw/710m 💔

[frozen cape]

THATS BRUTAL

😭😭😭

i got 740rw/700 m

[peak socket]

sat is not everything blah blah im from a rural school in poland so thats my excuse

:3

[frozen cape]

my goal was a 1450 but i saw my score and realized i wasnt going to risk getting a lower score on the math lol (i remember absolutely nothing from geometry)

[deft jolt]

Same composite but 730 ERW/710 math 😭

[frozen cape]

im lowkey worried about my math being so low but im kicking ass in ap stats and im applying to a social science so i figure ill be fine

like i feel like my passion will show through

my application has so much nuance, i feel like there are a ton of compelling reasons to admit me but also there are a lot of underlying issues with my transcript / ecs tbh

it genuinely could go either way

[peak socket]

same i think my essays were really bright, my ECs are both targeted towards my major but also diverse and showing scientific interest and i have a 4.7/4,0 gpa

[dim wigeon]

Honestly, I feel like it’s 50/50 for me too. I’m very confident in my personal statement and supps, and like 6/9 of the people w my stats on naviance got accepted

Idk what their ECs were though, and some of mine could’ve been better

[frozen cape]

nobody with a lower GPA than me has gotten into Cornell in Naviance but someone with a GPA like .50 higher than me and an SAT of 1470 got in RD so there's a realistic shot I get in ED I think

[deft jolt]

I think ED will be higher this year too

just a guess though

[peak socket]

i did like local goverment and a fellowship in SF, led some clubs in my school, organized like all events at my school and also did super niche biology research w my dear lovely professor who helped make cystic fibrosis meds so i think like ill be ok

[frozen cape]

our GPA is out of 100 btw

[frozen cape]

i have 3 low impact leadership positions, a part time job as a lifeguard and a volunteer position at a nonprofit that i expanded on in one of my cornell supps

i think theres a lot working against me nglll

[peak socket]

i also made genetically modified plants by myself 😭

[frozen cape]

i think my personal statement is reallly strong but my supps are sketchier

[peak socket]

i didnt put it as EC but wrote one of my essays on it

[frozen cape]

im ngl i just have no idea what to think

[wind stump]

wait thats so cool!!! what major did u apply for

[peak socket]

biological enginnering :3

[dim wigeon]

Letting you know that a test optional person with a 91 gpa at my school got in, so not all hope is lost

[frozen cape]

cuz like i talked to a yale alum and once he heard more abt me he literally told me im a unicorn and that i'd have "no problem" getting into yale but like... its yale what why are u gassing me up 😭

[wind stump]

yummy

[warm elm]

Come in dms i can share

[frozen cape]

he ghosted me after i asked him about potentially going cornell ed lmao

[deft jolt]

He was offended lmao 😭

[peak socket]

i injected ruby plasmids into monstera plants (app hard to do since they are monocots and not dicots)

and it worked!!! :D

[frozen cape]

lowkey the scary part is worrying i wont be happy at cornell if i get in likeee

[peak socket]

its like still growing tho tbh

[frozen cape]

im really worried about an elitist attitude or struggling to find ppl i can actually get along with

[deft jolt]

SAMEEE

[peak socket]

the bacteria need heat and it’s like 60f in my room LOL

[wind stump]

omg shes gorg

[frozen cape]

like its already bad at my hs i worry constantly about this stuff

[deft jolt]

I’m worried I won’t be able to handle the academics 😭

[frozen cape]

🔥🔥🔥 i know nothing abt this subject so i assume this is a big accomplishment congrats

[timid ivy]

ay i got so lucky with apush

[frozen cape]

Oh I figure i'll be able to truck thru especially since I have no intention of taking any math/science-heavy subjects

[timid ivy]

i heimlered the entire course the day before and luckily there were so many unit 1&2 questions

[wind stump]

LMAO ME

[peak socket]

i mean the hardest thing was using liquid nitrogen to inject the plasmid (DNA pieces) into agrobacterium (cancer causing bacteria in plants) because i cannot afford a electrophoresis machine

[frozen cape]

i used The Jungle by Upton Sinclair for one of the free responses and it was like 5 years out of range

for APUSH

💀

[frozen cape]

ahh okay so u had to work around equipment restraints

[peak socket]

i already spent it all on snapgene (software)+getting the plasmids made+sourcing bacteria

yea

[frozen cape]

good for u then legit

hope u get in

im just trying to spread good vibes lowkey

[peak socket]

u 2 :3

[frozen cape]

like why not i really like this place

[timid ivy]

ong anything past differential equations is nonsense to me

[deft jolt]

Your bio project sounds so cool

Like you seem to know so much

[peak socket]

yes!!! i want to make drought resistant crops in the future

[deft jolt]

Dang, you’ve taken diff eq?

[frozen cape]

solving world hunger ts crazy 😭

[stiff oyster]

gov has cool classes here

im taking a class called political theory in cinema next sem

counts for the major

no exams

[frozen cape]

this shit is so peak

[stiff oyster]

and u watch films and write commentaries 🙂

[deft jolt]

Nah, this is the exact type of world changing impact a school like Cornell is looking for, you’re getting in fs

[frozen cape]

I LITERALLY HAVE DONE THAT IN HIGH SCHOOL

it was an entire elective bruh 😭😭😭😭

[peak socket]

praying and crying

[timid ivy]

taking

makes sense so far

[deft jolt]

If you don’t get in, I don’t think I have a chance 💔

[timid ivy]

but i just hate linalg

[frozen cape]

lowkey i might go into college administration just bc i feel like id deadass improve more peoples lives than becoming a lawyer

cuz if i go into law im gonna be in it for the money most likely ngl 💔

[deft jolt]

I was going to self study it this summer bc I want to revisit some physics problems I’ve setup

[stiff oyster]

hell no

dont become an admin

[deft jolt]

I don’t have it at school

[stiff oyster]

ppl hate admin

they make less than lawyers

[timid ivy]

o yea my school is pretty lucky

[deft jolt]

Why so?

[stiff oyster]

just go into nyc big law

set yourself for life

[frozen cape]

im aware but i have a relative who does college admin and helps secure funding for urm / disadvantaged students and that seems so fulfilling to me

[timid ivy]

im just bad at algebra lmao

[peak socket]

I mean it’s like a literal lottery

[frozen cape]

at least smth like that

[timid ivy]

like i will mess up any probloem that involves more than like 6 terms

[deft jolt]

I mean, ED is huge boost so

[frozen cape]

lowkey i think the stress of that might kill me 💔

[deft jolt]

I think you have the stats/profile ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[timid ivy]

i also had some of my lowest grades of all time in this class

[deft jolt]

But yeah, a lot of luck takes place

[frozen cape]

im lowkey just hoping cornell wants more poor kids and takes me

💀

[stiff oyster]

θμ

um

were going

through austerity

[frozen cape]

oh its wraps

💔

[wind stump]

did u do cals?

[warm elm]

Yea

[frozen cape]

i didnt make that connection until now

[peak socket]

yes :3

[frozen cape]

OH GOD IM TOTALLY FUCKED

[frozen cape]

LMFOAOAOAOA

[next goblet]

[frozen cape]

samee omgg last one i got is yale

[stiff oyster]

i still have cultural shocks when i see u all

[peak socket]

hope to see you twin!!!!!

[warm elm]

Damnn

Yall done w ur rd

I dont have the motivation to work on them

[next goblet]

northwestern left

[peak socket]

im NOT done with RD at all

[deft jolt]

if we get admitted can we call ourselves cornballs

[stiff oyster]

like i wrote my rd stuff a day before

[warm elm]

Just wishing for cornell

[warm elm]

Same

[stiff oyster]

i just pulled a late nighter at my school

ordered delivery

[deft jolt]

I may or may not do a couple rds

[stiff oyster]

stayed until like 1-2 am with some friends

[frozen cape]

i keep procrastinating my yale app because i genuinely believe i wont get in idk

[peak socket]

i haven’t wrote an essay since oct 31st 😭

[timid ivy]

24 more essays for me 😭😭😭

[sour mantle]

what that mean

[stiff oyster]

basically we have to pay 60 million to the fed gov

also

[deft jolt]

I finished my last three apps on Nov. 1st 💀

[warm elm]

46 for me

[sour mantle]

oh i heard about that

[stiff oyster]

weill cornell did an oopsie

[next goblet]

no way bro

💀

[stiff oyster]

and they have to pay hundreds of millions

as a settlement

[peak socket]

recycle, rinse and repeat

[frozen cape]

right fuck applying here mightve been a bad call

[deft jolt]

What did they do

[frozen cape]

FUCKKK

[deft jolt]

I’ve heard but idk the context

[frozen cape]

did i waste my ed 💔💔💔

[next goblet]

we'll know in a week lmao

[warm elm]

I have common app fee waiver so yes im applying to 20 schools

[peak socket]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭im gen so cooked gangy

[timid ivy]

Yea a good amount of them r copy paste luckily

[stiff oyster]

apparently a urologist used to mistreat women and they kinda knew but didnt do anything about it for like 20 yrs

[deft jolt]

No way, you’re not, trust

[stiff oyster]

when i say mistreat yk what i mean

[deft jolt]

Oh…

[sour mantle]

was it 60 mill for that

[deft jolt]

Well then

[stiff oyster]

no that was almost a bil

[deft jolt]

Cornell 💀

[frozen cape]

cornell falling off holy fuck

[deft jolt]

Wasn’t that like years ago tho?

[frozen cape]

shoulda gone for yale ngl

💀

[stiff oyster]

idk the only reason i know

is because im on the debate team

and they cut our funding

[deft jolt]

xd

[stiff oyster]

and our coach told us

[peak socket]

at least we’re not upenn

[stiff oyster]

i mean the private side of cornell not so much

[deft jolt]

I wasn’t interested in upenn, but what’s wrong with it?

[stiff oyster]

even the state schools answer to state

aka hochul

not trump

the reason why grants are important

is bc many overhead costs (facilities, etc) were not being paid by fed

and 🌽 L has to reach into their pocket

[peak socket]

besides being a white elitist institution (even more than yale imo), it like turns people evil. this year it’s like trump, elon and charlie javice and they’re all from upenn

[stiff oyster]

wasnt here

[stiff oyster]

i dont think that should really matter

bc if u look at it from this lens

every good us uni

[next goblet]

yall do relaize

[stiff oyster]

has some sort of dark past

[next goblet]

they prob already made our decisions

lmao

[stiff oyster]

cornell has the indigenous people

[deft jolt]

Yeah

[warm elm]

Yes they prob did

[next goblet]

they have our decisions in their folder somewhere

[stiff oyster]

harvard was involved in transatlantic slave trade

etc

[warm elm]

Any possible hints

[frozen cape]

i predicted deferral -> waitlist

[deft jolt]

I’m hoping they accidentally stamped admit on mine 😛

[sour mantle]

roblox university is clean

[warm elm]

Also what do u guys see when yall login into the financial aid portal

[deft jolt]

And don’t realize 🙏

[stiff oyster]

if you want to reframe it its better to enter these universities with a more social justice oriented mindset and attempt to alter sentiment from within

[warm elm]

Me too twin

[peak socket]

ok but likeeee if ya get me upenn is like still evil while most of other colleges are already behind it

[peak socket]

maybe truth

[stiff oyster]

atp not even roblox is clean

[frozen cape]

i submitted my financial aid info late so this portal astrology stuff doesnt apply to me thank god lol

[stiff oyster]

finaid astrology was patched years ago

[warm elm]

Idek what r the signs

[stiff oyster]

there are NO signs

trust

[deft jolt]

There’s a portal for that? How do I access it?

[loud solstice]

hi guys

[warm elm]

People say if its blank its a good sign but it literally means they dont need anything else from me

[stiff oyster]

it means nothing

[loud solstice]

i locked in alot today and finished like 4 rd schools

[deft jolt]

what signs did you have

Don’t hide 🙏

[stiff oyster]

anyone who tries to convince you otherwise is toying with ur feelings

[frozen cape]

i submitted tufts yesterday and syracuse today lol

[stiff oyster]

didnt have any

[loud solstice]

i am taking a break now :D

[stiff oyster]

just an acceptance letter

on march 27

[deft jolt]

I think this is a sign ngl

[warm elm]

What did ur finaid portal looked like

[deft jolt]

crazy good one

[stiff oyster]

like everyone else who submitted their stuff

empty

[stiff oyster]

for real

[loud solstice]

someone post dr biggreen's "the only sign that matters is the admissions letter" quote

[deft jolt]

Hi nyix

[stiff oyster]

guys there really is no sign

[warm elm]

Search up cornell financial aid portal (i never knew this until i saw people mentioning about it on reddit) they only send this portal to people wjo have missing docs

[stiff oyster]

i am a credible source

just be patient

[deft jolt]

Oki

[next goblet]

actually so stupid how they're releasing on the 18th this yr

so pissed

[stiff oyster]

and in regards to decisions nothing is finalised until dec 18 7 pm just saying

[deft jolt]

We have been and now they doing us dirty with a release on the 18th 😞

[deft jolt]

oh wow

[stiff oyster]

im just curious to see how many apps we got

[warm elm]

They accepting me at 6:59

[stiff oyster]

prob more this year

[frozen cape]

yeah ngl im expecting ED to be competitive

very much so

[warm elm]

I hope ed acceptance rate reaches more than 25%

[stiff oyster]

CAS esp

[next goblet]

i applied engineering lmao

[warm elm]

Me too

[peak socket]

not released ever, literally 100% speculative

[loud solstice]

absolute tragdedy

[warm elm]

We r so fried

[stiff oyster]

cas is basically like applying to any other ivy except HYP statistically

[loud solstice]

i applied cas 💔

[stiff oyster]

thats skewed by many factors

in state applicants at NY state schools

arthletes

legacy

[warm elm]

Yeah athletes and legacies

[deft jolt]

If the to do list is empty, does that mean everything is good to go?

[stiff oyster]

doesnt mean anything. in fact u are better off applying rd in many cases

[deft jolt]

Sorry, I’m just paranoid

[peak socket]

can I get recruited as a athlete if im a profesional glover

[frozen cape]

do u think going ed to cas was smart if i need full aid??

[stiff oyster]

nope

[next goblet]

my private college counselor keeps bringing up my hope lmao

[stiff oyster]

only parents

ur sister goes here?

[deft jolt]

I’d guess 12k

Idk

[warm elm]

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSJ8vtxCg-_/?igsh=ODU1aHluMzVxYzhy

if u meet the standards of cornell u have chances, but i feel almost everyone who ed’ed meets the criteria

[loud solstice]

what if my ex at cornell does that count for some legacy 💯

[stiff oyster]

may help in the non-existent EDM scene

[sour mantle]

well

[stiff oyster]

but uhh in admissions i dont think so

[warm elm]

Yea thats how it is for me

[deft jolt]

Like for ivies or what?

[deft jolt]

Alr 🙏

[stiff oyster]

doesnt help i think but can indirectly help through info about cornell etc

[stiff oyster]

for selective schools in general

like ED pool is usually cracked

[deft jolt]

Hmm

[sour mantle]

uh oh

[deft jolt]

I hope so

I may RD to a few more schools

[loud solstice]

what does cracked entail

[peak socket]

literally if I was domestic I would ED to GTech only to join their radio team

cornell radio only plays some bs

[stiff oyster]

all the people that are basically easier admits (athletes + legacies), + insanely good applicants

[deft jolt]

Like someone who maximized their high school life to 24/7 productivity

[warm elm]

Damn so like out of 9000 applicants how many do u think have above 1500? 1450?

[deft jolt]

Optimized productivity

[loud solstice]

hm

[stiff oyster]

yeah idk we do have radio here

[loud solstice]

not me

[next goblet]

i have a perfect score on the act but i dont think that rlly changes anything

[stiff oyster]

but i think its more like older music

[stiff oyster]

dk

look at the cds

[peak socket]

but yall play country and some lame stuff!!! gtech plays hyperpop:3

[stiff oyster]

i sent a 1530 thats all i can say

[stiff oyster]

i resent country

with all my heart

it sounds so corny

[peak socket]

truth

[sour mantle]

i had a country music phase

[next goblet]

lana del rey is so good fr

[warm elm]

From my school, each year on avg 3-4 peoplle get accepted into cornell

[stiff oyster]

idk i grew up listening to greek folk music, trap, europop, edm (trance, house, techno, etc) and soft rock (mainly due to parents)

[warm elm]

But from last 5 years no has attended cornell lmao

[deft jolt]

What’s hyperpop? Any examples?

[stiff oyster]

so when i came here

[deft jolt]

I listen to EDM

[warm elm]

Do u think thays a good sign for me

[next goblet]

i feel like there is no point in stressing abt cornell rn

[stiff oyster]

and i see that avg frat party plays same 2010 playlist every time

[next goblet]

tbf

[stiff oyster]

i get bore

bored

[next goblet]

like we'll all know in a week

[loud solstice]

any of yall listen to vocaloid? 💔

[warm elm]

But i cant stop thinking 😭😭

[deft jolt]

Very little

[next goblet]

like we'll know once they actually release fr

[peak socket]

I can make you a smol playlist and send in dms!! do u use Spotify or what

[deft jolt]

Some are good but most aren’t my thing

[loud solstice]

i had a nightcore phase a few years ago

[stiff oyster]

i had a russian hip hop phase

[sour mantle]

OOH thats bad

[next goblet]

i wanna play some roblox

[stiff oyster]

i mean i speak so at least i could understabd

[deft jolt]

Uhh, I don’t have Spotify but I can just search YT or SoundCloud

Anything works!

[peak socket]

I’ll make a yt playlist then:3

[deft jolt]

alrighty, Ty!

[stiff oyster]

get spotify!!!

[deft jolt]

Nope

I am a SoundCloud user 🥀

[next goblet]

i use youtube music lmao

[deft jolt]

All my niche music is on there

[next goblet]

better remixes for gym songs

[deft jolt]

I use YT too since some songs are also on there

[next goblet]

do yall think cornell releasing on dec 18 is a strong implication they received record apps this yr

[loud solstice]

this might help for anyone who uses spotify: https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader, this automatically downloads a playlist as .mp3 files for offline/ad-less listneing

[deft jolt]

Eh, I just think they’re releasing later

Maybe they had delays or issues

[next goblet]

yeah i feel like they prob thought dec 11 was too early

and dec 18 aligns better w their "mid-dec" result date

[sour mantle]

other schools are doing that too right isnt harvard also the 18th

[stiff oyster]

i get spotify student

[next goblet]

i dont think # of apps will increase when they literally reinstated test requirement

[deft jolt]

Dec 11 this year is basically the same as dec 12 last year (or some recent year, idk which)

[stiff oyster]

its like 3-4 bucks a month

[deft jolt]

They’ve also done Dec 11th in the past

sooooo idk

18th is the latest I know of

[next goblet]

but it would be rlly odd for the # of apps to increase tho

[tardy yarrow]

i didnt get this email howd you receive this

[sour mantle]

does test requirement actually deter people from applying to places

[deft jolt]

I expect it to increase but not much

[next goblet]

yes

[next goblet]

of course

[deft jolt]

Fs

[next goblet]

my friend's sister who got into cornell during covid would've been forced to submit her 1170

[deft jolt]

😭

but see

They admitted her without the score, so ig it isn’t as determinant

I dislike test requirements tbh

[next goblet]

this was few years ago when there weren't studies regarding the correlation of GPA & test scores

[deft jolt]

Ah

[next goblet]

the reason they reinstated it was bc of the studies

[deft jolt]

They compare in context of your school

So I’d think so

[next goblet]

i mean i think ur counselor has to send out ur school profile or something

[deft jolt]

I wonder what school profiles actually look like… would be cool to see

[loud solstice]

embed fail

[loud solstice]

yeah they have a big holographic screen or smth

[tardy yarrow]

similarly to what they do with like virtual band concerts as well

they do that with gorillaz i think

[next goblet]

bro i cant wait to go watch concerts w my college friends in the future

im looking hella forward to that

playboy carti concert would go crazy fr

[stiff oyster]

i told my mom

to not parade anything

there is one other thing i resent

and that is people that make going to cornell (or insert xyz school) their personality

[next goblet]

so facts

[stiff oyster]

like ok u got into a good school

its like when u buy a new iphone or smth

its hype for like a few days

then u realise ur in and it doesnt matter in ur circle anymore lol

[frozen cape]

bye even if i get into cornell i have wayyyy bigger things to worry about

[stiff oyster]

just make the best of it

[warm elm]

Like im nkt gonna tell anyone at my school that i got in coz i have sm haters lmao

[tardy yarrow]

gng i didnt start rd apps should i do it cuz im lowk worried if ill waste my time if i get in here or not

[dim wigeon]

Low-key I feel like I have a good shot at making it in, which is going to make it hurt a lot more if I get rejected. Like I’ve been bracing myself for weeks but still

[tardy yarrow]

cuz like i feel like if i get in then i wasted my time

[dim wigeon]

It’s too late for me, like eight of my classmates know and my coworkers do as well 😭💀

[next goblet]

ya same

[warm elm]

I tried nkt to tell people i just lied when they asked me if i ed’ed anywhere

[stiff oyster]

why the paranoia 🙁

just be open vro

dont share ur priv stuff like PS

and ull be fine

[dim wigeon]

Did the portal astrology get to you

[mild flume]

not much but i have the whole unhappy refrain album downloaded

[dim wigeon]

I like ghost and pals :3

[warm elm]

I dont want them finding some weird reel i liked or some old text i sent so they can ruin my chances ykwim there are a lot of stabbers out there

[stiff oyster]

be very careful with digital footprint

and for the love of god

do not like reels

we can see it

[frozen cape]

bye i have no social media except discord and yt that's the optimal strat

tf they gonna find

[loud solstice]

lowk not a good idea to tell people my entire grade thinks im gonna get in and it will be really embarrasing if i dont

[loud solstice]

bro the discord gc quotes are CRIMINAL

[deft jolt]

Fr, I’m so glad my parents are chill abt it

[dim wigeon]

Does this only apply to accounts where the student has their name and face attached

[stiff oyster]

yeah ig

no one is gonna do an NSA level background check on u

[dim wigeon]

Okay good, I was on the verge of nuking my Reddit account

[stiff oyster]

oh ok lol

i was bout to say why have an IG thats anonymous

but yeah that makes sense

[tardy yarrow]

can i be fr i fucking hate mfs like this

cant stand them they piss me off

im sure everyone does too but i rlly hope that there arent actually ppl that are that entitled on campuses at certain colleges

[stiff oyster]

eh

there are some

just ignore them

[warm elm]

I have an anonymous one just so i can like reels in freedom lmaoo

[pearl sleet]

ugh when people wiht egos the size of the empire state building who built their personality on a school, then they get it, thats the worst

[stiff oyster]

i couldnt lol

too much to keep track of

[misty tartan]

Im looking forward to getting to now you better 😱😍 i cant believe i know have an ✨I V Y L E A G U E✨ connection 🤭🤭

Does what

[tall marsh]

you wouild be surprised

[runic crater]

which college

[loud solstice]

guys who wants to hop on some bedwars with me rn

[potent pond]

No i was j chilling in there for shits and giggles

[junior kayak]

No need to be mean about it 🥀💔

[potent pond]

Lmao didnt mean for it to come off as rude sarcasm

I took bchem

[junior kayak]

How was it

[potent pond]

Done w finals 😛😛

[junior kayak]

Wait why did you take bchem in barton. Isnt autotutorial a small class

[potent pond]

Probably did absolute shit but i dont have to touch bchem again !!

[potent pond]

No its quite large

[junior kayak]

Really?

[potent pond]

We had like 1/3 of barton only tho

[junior kayak]

1445 only has like 50 people

[potent pond]

We shared the room w 1440

[potent pond]

Cuz 3300 is well known as being easier than lecture

1445 isnt

[junior kayak]

Dang 1440 losers took it today 😝

I still got till Tuesday 🥱

1445 is easier than 1440

[potent pond]

Ive heard very very dependent on ur learning style

Esp as a freshman is kind of crazy

Ik u not one

But most ppl r when they take 1440

[junior kayak]

Most of the people in 1445 is sophomores, juniors, and seniors this year

[potent pond]

Yeah lol

Idk it just kinda some crazy stuff to decide to do auto as a frosh

Thats some confidence

[sullen ibex]

whys this chat popping off

[stiff oyster]

nah

what kills me

is when im sitting in the dining hall

trying to enjoy my meal

and some dumbass influencer pulls up with their tripod

puts on a fake attitude

and starts filming a cornell food review or day in my life or whatever they do

like bro let me enjoy my meal in peace 🥀

[mild flume]

i would actually go hog wild

[misty tartan]

Thats why I liked my school it was good enough to be respected by the general public but not good enough for prestige vloggers to invade it

[potent pond]

Cuz im bored

[potent pond]

Ive never seen this

Uve had so many special experiences

😭😭

I need a percentage of the lore you witness

I need joy

[stiff oyster]

just hang around okenshields or morrison during peak times

[misty tartan]

It’s probably also more obvious if yk who the influencers are to begin with bc then it’s easier to tell who’s taking a photo for a friend vs an audience

[potent pond]

Lmao

[stiff oyster]

yeah that also

[potent pond]

I have an influencer friend but most his vids in his room

And he doesnt do it often

[stiff oyster]

like esp the frosh influencers

so corny

[potent pond]

Smh

This generationcooked

[stiff oyster]

theyre basically a more family friendly reflection of frats

cause they shit on each other

anonymously ofc

[misty tartan]

Is his niche cornell content?

[stiff oyster]

but then pretend all happy on tiktok or whatev

[potent pond]

Sometimes

Not rlly

Fair point

I think he just blew up off a couple

[stiff oyster]

another funny thing about this school is

[misty tartan]

A “mid tier UC” (Davis)

[stiff oyster]

i applied to the finance committee on the student assembly

never heard back

but today i get an email from some IFC chair asking to not reduce funding

and i realise im in the committee

for like 3 months now

tis cant be real

[stark cobalt]

i think like six kids from my school had cornell as their ed

[stiff oyster]

just go to UCSB

be by the beach

enjoy 80-90 weather

[misty tartan]

They have a really good program for my major but I wasn’t guaranteed the major

[stiff oyster]

oh

[misty tartan]

I got in but I would’ve had to pass a few major specific classes at ucsb before I could declare the major

[stiff oyster]

yeah such uncertainty would be stressful

[misty tartan]

I was mostly worried bc I was transferring from an out of state community college as a California resident (weird story but I paid in state tuition) and none of the UCs were willing to be upfront with me about how my credits would transfer

Davis gave me a preliminary credit report but idr if they did it before or after I committed

I don’t remember seeing one from UCSD or SB

[stiff oyster]

UC davis is rlly good though

but i would prob still choose the stable option

[misty tartan]

That’s why I chose Davis

[stiff oyster]

oh

[misty tartan]

San Diego may have also been stable course wise but I’m from the area and my family doesn’t get along too well when we’re close together

[stiff oyster]

idk i wouldnt want to be too close to my family too. i like having some space

but i still dread when i see the domestics leaving for small breaks

and im stuck on facetime

[runic crater]

does anyone know how many itnernational students are in ILR

[stiff oyster]

not that many in undergrad

[misty tartan]

I was never a huge fan of the Davis area or the student culture but as much as I have thoughts that UCSB may have been better fit I don’t think that’s true

[stiff oyster]

but i know some

[runic crater]

like compared to the rest of cornell do u think ILR specifically has less int students ratio wise

[stiff oyster]

ngl i dont know pretty much anything about the culture, but i would trust my gut instinct

[stiff oyster]

generally the state schools will prob have less

theyre mostly NY dominated

esp westchester

but it doesnt matter

u can find intl community outside classes

theres the ISA

[deft jolt]

Idk we’re just crazy

[shrewd compass]

cuz cornell is da bomb

[white sapphire]

when is the decision date

18th?

[shrewd compass]

18th

dont get why these peopos are so obbssed tho

just wait for the email 🥱

[severe tide]

brooks

[warm elm]

Nah im too in love to wait

[shrewd compass]

its not like knowings going to make it come out sooner

ignorance is bliss mer mer mre

[warm elm]

Fair but cant stop thinking lol

[deft jolt]

🤯

when do we get to explode

[deft jolt]

Fr me too

[shrewd compass]

19th

[potent pond]

So bordd now that I’m free

[shrewd compass]

hit plat

[potent pond]

No

Ask me cornell questions

I still have work

Im just more free

[tall marsh]

how popular is the matcha club

[potent pond]

Quite

[tall marsh]

is it like a "you just come in" thing

[potent pond]

I dont think its an apply to join type thing just seems like interest club

Yeah i assume so

[tall marsh]

ohhh ok

[junior kayak]

Only seen this once how often do you experience this 💀

[potent pond]

Bro j a big back

Wishes he could monetize his big backery too

[junior kayak]

Cornell is that new york community college, right?

[potent pond]

Yep

[junior kayak]

Some typa public school

SUNY Ithaca

[potent pond]

Cuny morningside heights

[junior kayak]

I would hate to attend Cornell. Imagine not going to the best school in NY Columbia

I dont want to study rn someone save me 😔

[tall marsh]

i think you spelled pace university wrong

[potent pond]

No it's not?

You never go with friends to watch movies?

[potent pond]

No

[junior kayak]

Sad

[potent pond]

I would like to

But no i dont

[junior kayak]

Bring a third friend if it'll make you feel better then 😭

I always go with a friend or two its not a date

[potent pond]

Idk my friends arent

Movie friends

[junior kayak]

L

[potent pond]

Maybe they r and i j havent asked

But theyre like

[junior kayak]

You mean to tell me they dont want to spend 18 bucks on a ticket and another 8 for water?

[potent pond]

Gym and nerd

[junior kayak]

L

[potent pond]

No time for movies in that

Combo

[potent pond]

Lmfao even more reason against it

[junior kayak]

Do you not watch movies

Do you have HBO Max

[potent pond]

Doing it at home makes it intimate

More*

[junior kayak]

Do you have HBO Max

[potent pond]

[junior kayak]

Do you have HBO Max

[potent pond]

😭

[junior kayak]

You could've just said yes or no 😮‍💨

[potent pond]

Theres likee

Background to it tho

It was more effort

[junior kayak]

Its not rocket science

This why we dropped from engineering 🥀

[potent pond]

I had hulu and d+ but stopped cuz i bought 1 yr

Stopped right before finals

So obviously im not gonna immediately start another

[junior kayak]

Dang

[potent pond]

But i have parental consent to pick any service

[junior kayak]

HBO Max has fire shows

[potent pond]

And do it

[junior kayak]

Have you started new Stranger Things series

[potent pond]

And i didnt want to deal w u tryna make me spend MY money

On smth u like

[potent pond]

[dim wigeon]

Go do an activity together, like book an escape room or something

[potent pond]

I was planning to get netflix

[potent pond]

These r date type things

Ts odd

And expensive

Would be fun

[junior kayak]

Everything is a date to you 😭

[dim wigeon]

😭

[potent pond]

But odd and expensive if jm inviting my mpo one on one

Mps

[dim wigeon]

Invite like two friends then

You’re going to be mostly talking about the puzzles in the room anyways

[potent pond]

Expensive

[junior kayak]

Find a rich friend

[potent pond]

No

I like my bestie

[dim wigeon]

Hmm you could go on a hike

[junior kayak]

Its freezing

[dim wigeon]

Although it’s probably really cold rn

[potent pond]

I snorted

LMAO

[dim wigeon]

Yeah 💀

[potent pond]

😭😭

He says no to everything and im kind of tweaking out

[junior kayak]

Movies are the call just saying 🤷‍♂️

[dim wigeon]

Welp, I suppose you should ask him what he wants to do or find more friends

[potent pond]

I think thats what he asked me when he liked me

A year ago

His first ever question to me over txt was like oh what r movies u like

🤓🤓

Show recommendations now !

[junior kayak]

YOU SEE

Movies

[potent pond]

Idk how to ask ts without sounding like im asking bro out

I aint tryna cockblock his game either

[junior kayak]

"Do you want to go watch x movie?"

Thats it

Literally it

[potent pond]

Oh

[junior kayak]

It doesnt sound like a date

[potent pond]

Wait

U should help me figure iut

If this thing i have tmr

Is a date or friend thing

Cuz im so lost

[junior kayak]

What

[potent pond]

U seem smart

[junior kayak]

💀

[potent pond]

So this dude I’ve known since freshie fall cuz he lived down the hall but weve never had like an in depth conversation and never hung out irl and he swipes up on my notes and stories sometimes and he always like smiles waves or whatever

We were speaking the other day cuz we were in auto phys learning center tg

[junior kayak]

https://tenor.com/view/gato-withrock-gif-27341353

[potent pond]

And he was like

Since its the end of sem ive been scheduling meals w my friends to catch up

Tells me abt one of the plabs

Then hes like

Oh that reminds me would u want to go to lunch sometime

I think hes just a nerd

[junior kayak]

Plabs?

[potent pond]

But y there no other ppl pu

Plans

[junior kayak]

Do you see him as anything other than a friend

[potent pond]

No

I dont even see him as a friend

Hes someone i know

Who is friendly

😭

[junior kayak]

Lowkey if you havent spoken for a while he's either friendly or trying to make a move

Dang

[potent pond]

Honestly

Just the ask wasnt too deep

But its the 1 on 1

[junior kayak]

Idk how to answer this

[potent pond]

Thats throwing me

Also the fact that he was like

Ill send u a reminder

And he did right after the convo

And added a good luck on finals

But i didnt reply

So he deleted them

And fucking resent it

[junior kayak]

Did you leave him on read 😭

[potent pond]

At 11pm

No

It wasnt even opene

Like bro chill

😭

[junior kayak]

Oh lmfao. He deleted then resent it 😭

That's so sad he seems lonely or smth 😭

Or just wants attention

[potent pond]

im tweaked

hes nice but i would never see him like that

[junior kayak]

The amount of abbreviations

[potent pond]

And i hope hes not trying

He types like a boomer why r there so many emojis

[junior kayak]

Tell him he's so nice you see him as a brother or smth

[potent pond]

Wait its all the same emoji

[junior kayak]

If he backs off you know why

[potent pond]

🫡 😭

[potent pond]

💀

I dont

[junior kayak]

That easily shows youre not interested 🤷‍♂️

Just say youre not interested or smth if you dont want to interact with them lol

You dont have to talk to every person who wants to talk to you

[potent pond]

Im so unemployed i wanna yap to my bestie who probably hates talking to me but they have exam in 9 hrs

🥹

[junior kayak]

Thats 9 whole hours for a yap session

[potent pond]

So instead im yapping lore to random people on discord

That doesnt even matter

Bc regardless im going to this stupid lunch

[junior kayak]

🤷‍♂️

[potent pond]

And ill learn whatever tf it is there

Bro i dont even like asian chili

Whyd my pushover ass say yes

[junior kayak]

Good luck spill the deets after I need to know

[potent pond]

Hes fucking korean why didnt he pick somewhere native

😭 i hate authentic chinese food

[junior kayak]

Real

[potent pond]

Lol lowkey rude to not care abt his exam performanxe tho he needs the lock in

He said he might only sleep 3 hr tn

[junior kayak]

Thats crazy

[potent pond]

He needs every second

[junior kayak]

Which exam

[potent pond]

Bchem lecture

3310

It’s cumulative

💀

[junior kayak]

Damn

[potent pond]

He had to study 3 times the amount i did and lowk i feel like 3310 learned more than 3300

😭😭

Lowk i do have work to do and its like

Lock outable type work

So i wanna do it with others in company

[loud solstice]

guys weird question but how cooked are yall's sleep schedules are cornell and is it easy to wake up on time for classes and stuff

lowk my sleep schedule is fried beyond measure and i sleep through hella alarms

[potent pond]

Its college so much of ur schedule is like ur choice and many classes have optional attendance (vary by class and major ofc)

I dont wake up to my phone alarm so i have a analog alarm clock

Like

The generic emoji

Type

⏰

[loud solstice]

ah ok ok

[potent pond]

U should teach urself to be able to wake up

[loud solstice]

yeah im tryna do that

[potent pond]

Bc there are things u should not miss

And its unprofesh

[junior kayak]

I didnt go to any 8ams this year 🫡

Jk

[loud solstice]

i installed this app that made u solve a math problem to turn off ur alarm but i just started solving the math problem and going back to sleep 😔

[potent pond]

But again dpeending on ur major many classes and time slots r up to u so u could just choose ones to maje it look better

[junior kayak]

Its easy your sleep schedule is fine if you arent double engineering major

[potent pond]

Personallt best start time for me is 10 or 11am

9ams i can cope with if its not everyday

But i usually will skip them if skippable

[junior kayak]

I only have 8am and 9am courses next semester

Everyday

[loud solstice]

😭

[potent pond]

L

My schedule next sem

🥰🥰

[junior kayak]

Its okay because Ill be done by 6:30pm 2/5 days and 4pm 2/5 days!

[loud solstice]

also i am curious what are lab classes

[potent pond]

U do a lab

[junior kayak]

Labs for classes. Waste of time

[potent pond]

It varies by class

Get in then ask

imo

[junior kayak]

Labs for research. Real cool stuff

[loud solstice]

ah ok

[potent pond]

Too complicated

And not useful

To know rn

[shrewd compass]

cornells ont todday right

[potent pond]

huh

[shrewd compass]

cornell results not out right

[potent pond]

No

[shrewd compass]

my lil brother gaslighting me rn

[potent pond]

18th prolly 7ish

Or whatever

[shrewd compass]

also if i self reported an sat score 💀 and it was lower then my new score which i also submitted, will they see both?

[potent pond]

Yeah

[shrewd compass]

💀

gg

suny it is

[potent pond]

I set up my analog all the way across the room

Theres no snooze

[loud solstice]

this might genuinely be the way to go

[potent pond]

Yeah

[loud solstice]

gotta try it out

[potent pond]

If its next to me i might not wake up

[loud solstice]

mm mkaes sense

walking wakes u up anyways cuz blood flow or something

[potent pond]

For early common wake ups like exam at 9am or enrollment at 7:30 am

Its also common to ask friends

To like

Pound ur door

Walk in and shake u

Or whatever

Personally i dont

But ive done it for ppl

[potent pond]

Also my room just cold as shit cant sleep after that 😂

Also the alarms so loud

Its actually terrifying

Sometimes i wake up before it

[loud solstice]

okok wonderful

[potent pond]

And i lie there

Enjoying

And then it suddenly goes off

And im like

Tripping myself

[white sapphire]

when are we supposed to get that

[potent pond]

Tryna turn it off

[loud solstice]

ok this is exactly what i need

ty

[potent pond]

Also honestly i prefer how analog is less like

Hardset on the time

Like u dont put 07:08am

U put the hand around like 1/4 the way between two hours and guess

[loud solstice]

ohh

[potent pond]

I feel like its more natural and probably helps keep me guessing

[dim wigeon]

I have one of those clocks that lights up when it’s going close to your alarm time, and that really wakes me up

Although I need to remember to sleep facing it or it doesn’t work

[mild flume]

on average how long does it take from exiting the residence hall to getting to one of your lectures

[potent pond]

What if u turn

[mild flume]

are the buses very cordial

[potent pond]

Depends

On where ur classes are and whether ur walking or busing

If u want me to combine allat it could be anywhere from 5min to 30

[mild flume]

oh that’s a bigger range than i thought

[potent pond]

Residence is quite far from the edges of campus

[dim wigeon]

It’s not bright enough to make a difference when I’m facing the other way 😣 so I wake up tired when that happens instead of gradually

[potent pond]

For freshmen in particular

I can clolor code the map pause

Yellow is where freshie/north campus residential area is

Red is where u could have class

[junior kayak]

Walking from Morrison to Baker is like a 15 minute walk

[potent pond]

Red can narrow down depending on major

[potent pond]

u walk slow

[junior kayak]

Morrison is like the back edge of North and Baker is just over the bridge

10-15 mins

[potent pond]

Ok fair

Lol

[junior kayak]

Excuse me for not being overly ecstatic to listen to Distacio butter us up with nice comments then screw us on the exams 🤧

[potent pond]

If by cordial u mean on time, then no
But theyre roughly similar times just not matching the schedule
There are apps that track exact locations of them so its easier to just learn when-ish they come and check the app and learn how long u have when they at certain places

[mild flume]

is it very common at all to get classes on that far right side

[potent pond]

No

[junior kayak]

Not at all

[potent pond]

Depends on major

If ur plant science or animal science then yes

[junior kayak]

Unless youre some agriculture nutrition major

[mild flume]

i’m guessing that’s the agriculture area

i’m doing astrophysics so i’m guessing i’ll be around the big buildings area in the middle

[potent pond]

Yeah

Baker, rockefeller

P close

[junior kayak]

Youll be close to Bailey Hall

[mild flume]

(assuming i get in)

[shrewd compass]

@potent pond is there any skiing?

[potent pond]

Theres a couple PEs

And theres Greek Peak nearby

Ppl sometimes go there for fun

Idk much abt it google would tho

[shrewd compass]

working on RD cuz ive given up on cornell

🥳 😊

[dim wigeon]

I need to start this weekend because I’ll be too depressed to do it if I get rejected

🥀

[spice thicket]

nooo! Also I just realized you have an arch tag

dude when I applied I knew I wouldn’t get in so I already went through the 5 stages of grief

[turbid wharf]

Jesus that’s a lot of stem

[shrewd compass]

whats wrong w the arch tag

[spice thicket]

nothing I just noticed it now

[junior kayak]

Wait youre in my physics lecture

[potent pond]

With 100 orher ppl yeah 🙄

Bro why the fuck

Am i spending

[deft jolt]

Is this part of some student software or is it a personal app you use?

[potent pond]

Its cornell software

Scheduler website

[deft jolt]

Ah okay

[potent pond]

I think anyone can access the roster tthru it

But u need to sign in to use the scheduler part

[peak socket]

your PE sounds so fun!! i'd love to take either backpacking/hiking, caving or cross country skiing ngl 😭

[loud topaz]

Ohh my cornell

Has anyone gone skiing at greek peak

[formal wraith]

@unique holly is fried

[unique holly]

@formal wraith roines is gay

[formal wraith]
