Cornell University (2025-2026)

[mellow dragon]

but on the inside there are stories to be told

and they are inviting

and cozy

[stiff oyster]

yeah i like my apartment

also idk i feel more secure in the polykatikia

cause like ive been to some friends that had houses in panorama

[mellow dragon]

wait

[stiff oyster]

and its cool and all

but still

[mellow dragon]

have you ever been to this park

it was my favorite

the one they renovated

[stiff oyster]

do you know the name area

[mellow dragon]

its right by our house

let me look it up

Roumanikon Park

in neapoli

[stiff oyster]

ngl i probably havent been

we usually dont go to western thess

[mellow dragon]

have you been to lagatha in neapoli

by the cemetary

ww1 one i think

serbian one

we live there

[stiff oyster]

lagada

[mellow dragon]

yes

[stiff oyster]

yeah ive been once

[mellow dragon]

lagada

[stiff oyster]

there was a russian supermarket

that i wanted to go to lol

generally us that are raised in the eastern suburbs dont tread further than the center

cause no reason

[mellow dragon]

bro im trying to think about what other experiences we couldve shared but my family only really stays in neapoli

[stiff oyster]

wait

have you ever gone

to fridays

in aristotelous

ngl if i ever want "american" food id go there

[mellow dragon]

no

i have been to goodys

have you been there

[stiff oyster]

YES

[mellow dragon]

burger

[stiff oyster]

dont go to mcdonalds

[mellow dragon]

i like it

[stiff oyster]

support local

goodys

[mellow dragon]

yes goodys

[stiff oyster]

goodys chicken nuggies

[mellow dragon]

probably the only place we get a burger from

[stiff oyster]

i have a better suggestion for burger

[mellow dragon]

sometimes we go to a gyradiko

[stiff oyster]

either brothers in law or tarantino

[mellow dragon]

christos gyradiko in neapoli

very good

but kinda fell off after covid

thats our local place

[stiff oyster]

bro

tarantino

one of the best

burgers

https://maps.app.goo.gl/x6K1xuB8gtMqvaXC9

[mellow dragon]

i have never been

ill let my mom know

[potent pond]

hi chat

[deft jolt]

Hi Jae

[mellow dragon]

also

thank god for greek healthcare

[stiff oyster]

yeah bro

free healthcare is cool

[mellow dragon]

yes

one time i had a medical scare and i went to ippokratio and they took care of me

[stiff oyster]

i went to hospital and i get the logariasmo for 0 eurw and im smiling

ooo i dont like ippokratio

i go to papageorgiou

mainly cause of my dad

[mellow dragon]

ippokratio wasnt the cleanest but they still were nice

it was covid too

[stiff oyster]

nah real ones go to papageorgiou

cause its a private hospital but 100% owned by the govt

aka less red tape

but still free

[mellow dragon]

wow thats sounds good

[stiff oyster]

yeah

also like in greek clientele culture

[mellow dragon]

wait

bro

[stiff oyster]

if you have a relative that works in the hospital

u dont have to wait lol

[mellow dragon]

do you go to the mall place in the kentro

[stiff oyster]

plateia?

[mellow dragon]

i dont know what its called

[stiff oyster]

with like the cinema

on tsimiski?

[mellow dragon]

hmm

[stiff oyster]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/WLnsYbZMxg1sUr8dA

this?

[mellow dragon]

YES!

[stiff oyster]

ive passed by a couple of times

ngl when we go out in the center we dont rlly go to shops

[mellow dragon]

wait

actually

[stiff oyster]

we either eat, walk around, or go to nightlife

[mellow dragon]

let me see again

[stiff oyster]

for shopping we usually just go to cosmos mall

which is by the airport

[mellow dragon]

yea its the one you linked

we go there sometimes

do you go to any laiki

there is one on our street

[stiff oyster]

there are ones near

but u need to use a car

[mellow dragon]

also our neighborhood feels like its getting worse somehow

so many businesses closed

its it all because of covid

[stiff oyster]

yeah

it kind of messed up a few things

generally small businesses are being depleted

cause u can just get everything from skroutz

or from the chain stores

[mellow dragon]

sucks

[stiff oyster]

also where i live its almost purely residential

only like a minimarket

[mellow dragon]

we have masoutis

[stiff oyster]

oh yeah we go there

or sklavenitis

ngl the last pics i took of thess were very sloppy

[mellow dragon]

one of my favorite parts

its feeding the adespota

kitties

[stiff oyster]

we dont feed them bc theyve reproduced so much

that our polykatikia porch

is full of shit

[mellow dragon]

they are so cute

[stiff oyster]

ik but

the municipality needs to take them in

and sterilise them

[mellow dragon]

yes they do need to be neutered

[stiff oyster]

otherwise were gonna have a problem

also i have a dog that hates cats

[junior kayak]

CAS and COE have comparable rates

[mellow dragon]

This was a photo from naousa

Don’t remember where that is tbh

It just says in my phone

[stiff oyster]

ah yes the cat

[mellow dragon]

they like to sleep on cars

[deft jolt]

How would you rank each college in terms of difficulty getting into?

[junior kayak]

CALS, Hotel, ILR have the highest rates. But it's heavily skewed for in state

Out of state acceptance rate is very competitive across all colleges

[stiff oyster]

wait i have a dump incoming

[mellow dragon]

hotel isnt in state preference

[junior kayak]

No, it's just high acceptance

In comparison to other colleges. It's still competitive

[stiff oyster]

athens + island activities

[junior kayak]

COE, CAS, and Dyson usually have the lowest acceptance rates

[stiff oyster]

all of cornell is landgrant

theoretically

[junior kayak]

SUNY Ithaca

[keen basin]

dont u guys have finals

[stiff oyster]

yes

but ik im not gonna study

[keen basin]

i have one tmrw

and im not ready

[stiff oyster]

i have labor history the day after tmrw

i cant lock in

[deft jolt]

Is it hard balancing studying/school with personal life at Cornell?

[junior kayak]

Easy ahh physics 2207

[keen basin]

i have the same final tmrw

also making my sheet

[stiff oyster]

if ur in ilr no

[junior kayak]

Lmao

[stiff oyster]

u can study for 1 hour a week

and be ok

prob similar to AEM and hotel to some extent

[deft jolt]

Ilr?

[stiff oyster]

industrial and labor relations

[deft jolt]

Oh

[keen basin]

yeah it's easy but I havn't gone to lecture since prelim 2 (barely went before) and all the stuff since is new-ish for me so im kinda cooked

[junior kayak]

Lmfaoo same

[stiff oyster]

some other majors which have "easier" pathways may be social sciences, eg government, communications

[deft jolt]

Ngl, I think I already know the answer based on my major xd

[stiff oyster]

what major

[keen basin]

If you're in a hardcore stem major yes

[junior kayak]

I just went through the lectures to grab the formulas and did the practice final

[stiff oyster]

oh physics

yeah

where fun goes to die

[deft jolt]

Physics (maybe + math…)

[mellow dragon]

yo i hope i get in so badly now because i met you

[deft jolt]

Unless it is the fun

[mild flume]

okay but is astrophysics more fun

[mellow dragon]

i mean what a coincidence

[deft jolt]

☹️

[junior kayak]

I see all these business students catching rhe ourbus already with their luggage and I'm here till the 19th

[deft jolt]

Oh I thought you were saying it is more fun

[stiff oyster]

know nothing about astro

only that theres some austrian woman

that teaches

[mild flume]

dont worry guys religious studies major is gonna be my backup

[junior kayak]

Underwater basket weaving

[mild flume]

i WILL be unemployed

[stiff oyster]

SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN IN NY SINCE THE 12TH

AHHHH

i want to go home

[keen basin]

I have met Hotelies, ILR ppl, and a few other majors with easier classes where I feel like they have a decent bit more time for social stuff. But i feel like they usually fill that time with extracurricular stuff

[keen basin]

bro same

[deft jolt]

“The limit as GPA goes to 0, your major goes to business”

[stiff oyster]

i feel like the school is kinda built that way

[junior kayak]

My friend has a class that teaches them how to fold napkins

[stiff oyster]

like academically AEM is not much

[junior kayak]

Hotelies smh

[stiff oyster]

so u need to network

[mild flume]

lmao

[keen basin]

orgo is actually gonna be the hardest final Ive ever taken

[junior kayak]

The average was a 30 on the orgo final last year lmao

[deft jolt]

0_o

[junior kayak]

I just want average I'm fine with orgo being my only B

[mild flume]

another great look for chem

[keen basin]

Im going through the lectures but actually trynna understand it

it's taking me a while

[junior kayak]

Well, there's not much helpful stuff in the lectures

[keen basin]

wtf

[keen basin]

the practice problems are decent imo

[junior kayak]

Especially not after I see him canceling pi and 3.8 cause they're close enough

[keen basin]

for basic problems

[stiff oyster]

going to ILR lectures was also pretty much useless

[junior kayak]

I did the practice

[stiff oyster]

ended up studying from slides anyway

only class worth going to is my fws

[junior kayak]

Orgo NMR pmo

[keen basin]

idk bruh

FUCK NMR

[stiff oyster]

and game theory

[keen basin]

alr i need to lock back in

[stiff oyster]

cause basu is cool

[keen basin]

im so cooked

[junior kayak]

Any NMR question I get I'm skipping

[keen basin]

idk orgo at all

[junior kayak]

Absolutely cooked

[keen basin]

and I cant study more for it till after physics

[junior kayak]

Maybe if they forget to include topics from prelim 4 I'll do good

[keen basin]

so im beyond cooked for that shit

[junior kayak]

I have physics tomorrow evening and bio Tuesday morning

[keen basin]

gl bruh

[junior kayak]

I havent studied for bio yet

[keen basin]

gl bruh

[junior kayak]

I woukd be concerned. But I only need a 60 for an A

[keen basin]

i had the option to take a bio final today

I couldve raised my grade by a lot if I got an A+ on it

but like I just cant bruh

[junior kayak]

Dang

[potent pond]

hi chat

[keen basin]

so I didnt take it

[potent pond]

what exams we got left

[junior kayak]

I cooled all semester almost full points on every exam

Cooked*

[deft jolt]

hello again

[keen basin]

but I might get a B depending on how the curve is

[potent pond]

hicharlotte

[keen basin]

so im like

fuck

[potent pond]

Bs are fine

[stiff oyster]

ILRGL 1100, ILRID 1525

[keen basin]

nooo

[deft jolt]

are you both a Cornell dropout and not or what

[potent pond]

C and lower is where its an ick

[keen basin]

not in an easy ah bio class

[potent pond]

its a joke im a junior

[junior kayak]

Doing so well this semester. My GPA from engineering will go up from a 0.1->0.2

Yippee

[potent pond]

1350 or 1440 isnt an "easy ahh bio class"

[stiff oyster]

im praying for an A+ in my fws so it balances out an A-

[junior kayak]

My FWS only gave 99-100 A+

I got a 98.7 and they didnt round

I still remember

Im still salty

I emailed and got ghosted

[stiff oyster]

99 is unfair lol

isnt the standard scale 98

[deft jolt]

What does A+ even do?

[potent pond]

i got a B- in an FWS bro

[stiff oyster]

A+ is a 4.3

[potent pond]

dont even with me

[junior kayak]

Lmfao 😭

Cooked

[stiff oyster]

i would crash out

[junior kayak]

Okay I need to lock in for physics

Goodbye

[potent pond]

i did. worst prof ever

[mild flume]

i dont know if an A+ matters for undergrad admissions but my ap chem teacher scammed the hell out of me too lmao

[potent pond]

i got an A+ in a winter English course immediately after

and then an A in my spring FWS

so clearly iw as not the fuckiing problem

[stiff oyster]

wait why did you take 3 writing courses

[deft jolt]

Does it act like weighted grades or just goes to other grades below A?

[stiff oyster]

isnt the req 2

[potent pond]

the winter one was for distribution

[stiff oyster]

cornell gpa is out of 4.3

[potent pond]

u cant take FWS winter

no its not

[deft jolt]

Dang

[stiff oyster]

oh it isnt?

[potent pond]

most classes dont give A+ or make the weighting weird as fuck for it

so most cornell students report gpa out of 4.0

but keep the weighting in

[stiff oyster]

oh ok

[potent pond]

so like 4.12/4.0

[stiff oyster]

mb im just weird bc all of my classes have a provision for A+ except intro to ILR

[potent pond]

or u just dont put the /4.0

its also like a lot of the courses that curve

u ofc cant be curved to A+

so it just fucks u

[deft jolt]

strange

[potent pond]

a lot of classes do 99-100 is A+

[stiff oyster]

my game theory prof curves well for A+

90% is an A+

[potent pond]

its not strange

the A+ is a perk

and to anyone who cares about it, their grad schools finna recalculate to a 4.0 regardless

[stiff oyster]

to be fair i did get a 60% on the first prelim tho

[potent pond]

so its just an ego thing

[stiff oyster]

yeah or just balancing out

[potent pond]

and making it hard for me to know my real gpa thing

[deft jolt]

thank you 🙏

[keen basin]

it's bionb 2210

[potent pond]

i didnt have gpa in HS so maybe i misunderstand wym by weighted grades but its just normal math with credit count * gpa number

[keen basin]

dont rely on that

[potent pond]

so like A in math, A+ in english --> (4*4.0 + 3*4.3)/7 = whatever

[keen basin]

afaik most wont give an A+ unless ur like the best in the class

[deft jolt]

I think it depends on the HS, but for like a 4.0 system, max points would be 4 per credit and then 5 per weighted credit

[keen basin]

gl 🫡

[potent pond]

so proud of my 1110

[keen basin]

my gpa is gonna pummet this semester

[potent pond]

i have failures everywhere else so i flex it any chance i get

😭

[keen basin]

I did not lock in on orgo lab or bio

and who knows what this physics and orgo final is gonna be like

[keen basin]

whats that

[potent pond]

lol i only need 13 out of 18 questions right for my fully MCQ physics final

[potent pond]

CS 1110

[deft jolt]

What physics do you take?

[mild flume]

please update us so me and charlotte know how fried we are

[stiff oyster]

professor said my paper was the pefect and the first one that got 100% in the course

so if its any class it will be that imo

[potent pond]

im premed so im in normal phys 1 and 2
we have the option of lecture based or like self-tutorial based

[deft jolt]

I think we’re incredibly fried

[potent pond]

im in self-tutorial based rn i think minigun is in lecture

[potent pond]

as someone who took the orgo final

it is much worse than orgo lab

😂

and orgo 2 is worse

than orgo 1

maybe i just got dumber tho

[deft jolt]

we’re about to have an avg of like 40 across our major courses 😛

-# pre-curve

[mild flume]

praying i never touch chem again after ap chem...

[potent pond]

yeah my friend said p chem was like

49 avg

[deft jolt]

Get that 5 then 🙏

Pretty much all physics majors have to take chem 1/2, I think

[mild flume]

i already have the 5 but sweet lord no more

[deft jolt]

At most places

[deft jolt]

Oh W

I’ll need to take it in college 🥀

[potent pond]

the avg on exams for orgo 2 always cracks me up

[mild flume]

my chem class was a nightmare lol

[deft jolt]

Gah, why can’t I hyper focus on physics?

[potent pond]

oh orgo 1

i meant

[deft jolt]

The class at my school is a nightmare too

Not taking it tho

[mild flume]

some kid somehow managed to nearly cut off another kid's finger with scissors

[deft jolt]

a classmate told me how their lab partner spilled a whole container of something on their hands

[potent pond]

theres a 1 semester chem course required of all engineers

unless they had a 5 in ap chem

[deft jolt]

they had gloves on but they were damaged after or smth?

[deft jolt]

Oh I hope it’s only one for physics too 🙏

[mild flume]

holy

[potent pond]

theres physics in engineering

😭 and yes engineering phys only needs that 1

[mild flume]

who decided that people like us were allowed to handle any chemicals past distilled water

[deft jolt]

I think they said it was a brown gassy chemical idk

[stiff oyster]

if u get into cornell

study chem

during summer

and take the advance standing exam

[mild flume]

wait are there any more chem classes required if you have ap credit?

[potent pond]

CAS physics doesnt require any explicit chem

[potent pond]

i mean depends on ur major

if ur majoring in chem obviously yes

lol

[mild flume]

WHAT NOOOO

[stiff oyster]

i mean chemistry is molecular physics...

also dont major in chem

[deft jolt]

I tried checking the major reqs but it doesn’t seem to list outside requirements

[potent pond]

edym

it seems pretty clear

[deft jolt]

It only showed major specific courses, not breadth

[stiff oyster]

if u want to have an easy time with stem

just do like

STS

[deft jolt]

STS?

[stiff oyster]

(science & technology)

studies

[deft jolt]

Is that to get credit for the course without taking it?

[potent pond]

could probably find that from just reading the roster if yall have access
https://classes.cornell.edu/browse/roster/SP26

[stiff oyster]

shoutout prof hilgartner

[stiff oyster]

no lol

its just a major

[potent pond]

this is the required "breadth" of concentration
https://physics.cornell.edu/concentrations

and if u meant college credit

https://as.cornell.edu/education/degree-requirements

CAS grad requirements

required for all students

the 10 distributions looks crazy but many majors cover at least 3-4

[mild flume]

do you have any distribution requirement classes you recommend?

[stiff oyster]

wait jae can you doubledip distributions

[deft jolt]

I am going to optimize as much as possible to take as few as possible 😃

[potent pond]

i dont know if thats a helpful question to ppl in HS

id rather answer fun classes offered

bc my distributions ewre more means to an end than fun

[deft jolt]

I think I remember reading that only some do? Idk

[mild flume]

oh

[potent pond]

u can double count 2

so u can take at minimum 8 courses to cover 10 distributuins

[mild flume]

to rephrase the question: have you had any classes you took for distribution that you had fun with

[deft jolt]

^^^

[deft jolt]

I don’t think those two go together

[mild flume]

[potent pond]

no bc since im double majoring and premed

every single one of these were from my requirements

[stiff oyster]

oh crap

[potent pond]

so

[stiff oyster]

i dont wanna take any science classes :(((

[potent pond]

again.

id rather answer fun classes offered here

😂

[potent pond]

j take why is the sky blue or som shi

[keen basin]

fire

[mild flume]

mkay sounds like im just gonna pick only lecture optional classes and wing the final exam

[deft jolt]

😭

[potent pond]

im not gonna correct u bc this is so freaking out of reach and early for u to be thinking abt this

[keen basin]

bruh I got more than one A+'s first semester bc I had mostly easy classes and it's been a steady downhill semester

[stiff oyster]

BIO 1100 "why do we breathe"

[mild flume]

i was being sarcastic but i do know a guy who had that mindset and became an academic victim

[potent pond]

so glad i started low

all my friends tweaking abt their 4.0-4.2s going down

😂

at least my slope is consistently positive

[mild flume]

i'd like to think i'm somewhat clever but self learning university coursework has proven to be impossible for me lol

[keen basin]

me fr

[deft jolt]

Imagine trying to do those independent study courses 🥀

[keen basin]

my fault for taking harder and harder courses

[deft jolt]

Reading UPPER LEVEL physics 😭

[keen basin]

I took orgo 1, physics 1, and orgo lab this semester

[mild flume]

honestly anything online is like a no go for me

[keen basin]

plus 8 credits of other classes

[mild flume]

i dont know what it is, but i CANNOT learn

[deft jolt]

Do we learn the Cornell method?

[keen basin]

no fr

[potent pond]

lol i have 12 credits of asynchronous work rn

[mild flume]

that awful note format that makes me cry?

[mild flume]

praying for you

[potent pond]

u dont learn any note method aint nobody holding ur hand

[keen basin]

i think its kinda dumb cornell has auto-tutorial courses

[potent pond]

almost over 🙏

[deft jolt]

are you talking about the method or onions

[potent pond]

at least the biochem is sm easier

i cant believe im done with ALL biochem

[keen basin]

i aint ever take a cornell note in my life

[potent pond]

after just coping for 1 sem

[deft jolt]

I just meant for getting through self-study lol

I know we need to learn note taking in general

[potent pond]

i dont take notes

for most classes

[deft jolt]

Crazy

[mild flume]

i just use anki flashcards and they work for me so far

[potent pond]

but i did for the autotutorial/self taught ones

[deft jolt]

How??

[potent pond]

most classes give slides

personally i have minor OCD

[keen basin]

jae go lock in

[potent pond]

and it gets tweaked the fuck out if i miss a sentence

[keen basin]

imma go lock in

[potent pond]

or forget my notebook one day

[keen basin]

we have the same final tmrw

[potent pond]

or the prof backtracks in his notes

and i actually start tweaking

and ragequit

[keen basin]

we have a final today

[deft jolt]

I feel this so bad 🙏

[potent pond]

physics??

ur in auto?

[keen basin]

oh

i though u were in 2207

[deft jolt]

If I take notes, I HAVE to write verbatim..

[potent pond]

lol im taking my personally scheduled, only needing 13 out of 18 MCQs at 1:30pm tmr

[mild flume]

me too lol

[potent pond]

i could even take it 2:30pm

perks of async

[keen basin]

well gl

gl to us all

[potent pond]

bro the textbook just signed me out

😠

pmo

gonna drive back in ice

now

[deft jolt]

Why do the two general VCs have corn emojis 👀

Oh no, second one is wheat mb

[mild flume]

i genuinely get half a lobotomy whenever that happens to me

[obtuse jay]

Why is corn so late

So many ppl from my school are getting admitted

[deft jolt]

putting both the Ls in Cornell rn

[obtuse jay]

My classmate just got into CMU

[deft jolt]

Gz for them!

[sullen ibex]

well debunked by me lol cuz i didnt get in and i was able to login to whatever the thing was

[mild flume]

you might want to purge these messages just in case lol

[deft jolt]

What did you think it was

[sullen ibex]

i ended up getting in after but anywyas

proves that that thing doesnt work

[deft jolt]

What thing?

I’m not following along ;-;

[sullen ibex]

like the thing hte dude posted

[deft jolt]

yeah

[sullen ibex]

basically if u can like login or something it supposedly means ur in

but it doenst acually work

[deft jolt]

oh lol

I don’t see the connection tbh

I would assume it’s a temp access thing as an applicant to view more detailed info

[vocal fable]

yo r there any cornell engineering ppl that can help me with the "what can you contribute to cornell eng" essay 🥀

[shrewd compass]

"1 building" should do it

[keen basin]

not in CoE but maybe find a project team or research lab that matches ur interests and talk about that

[deft jolt]

What are team projects? I’ve heard them a few times now

[bronze lagoon]

anybody here apply to cornell ilr ED?? i haven’t seen anyone talk about it

[formal peak]

I gave up writing that and switched to the science school😅

1 essay

And I felt it was a better fit lol

[deft jolt]

Which major did you switch to?

[granite star]

the status on one of my to-do list things says notified

but i submit the form a long time ago

is there any level past notified on the fin aid portal?

sure, dms?

[spice thicket]

yay!!

[mental osprey]

you mind dming me

[granite star]

ofc no worries

ur friends r at a max capacity

suffering from success

[mental osprey]

hah..?

its like 60

u sure?

[granite star]

it says u gotta add me

[mental osprey]

I added u

[granite star]

mayb my discord is bugged idk

[mental osprey]

wait one sec

[plucky bolt]

cals info sci !!

[spice thicket]

yeah

[obtuse jay]

Still 4 days until ED

Can't wait to get deferred lol

[craggy radish]

I applied ED to ILR Do you guys think ILR is relatively easier to get into compared to other Cornell schools?

[deft jolt]

Can they at least finally make an announcement 😭

[spice thicket]

They will tdy

if they follow the pattern

[formal peak]

well it was enginnering physics, but i changed to physics (i honestly think it might be a better fit for me lol)

[spice thicket]

even though they already told us their official announcement for Thursday last year was on Monday and for years prior

[potent pond]

Hi

[shrewd compass]

heloo

[glacial briar]

yes

[sullen ibex]

project teams, theyre part of coe

a core part

[random comet]

We will make it guys trust

[potent pond]

they also need non coe members.

i wouldnt call it a core part either

just one of the main perks of the program

[sullen ibex]

yea idk i mean most eng students r fiendng to join em

i dropped my proj team lmao

[potent pond]

yeah but as someone on one

many desperately need non eng members too

and there are even a coupole that have majority non engineers

so im against pushing the narrative that theyre only for COE

bc we were dying in wishing we had more applicants

[junior kayak]

No

[stiff oyster]

there is no sign

there used to be 3-4 years ago but it was fixed

[misty scroll]

that’s what i thought

[stiff oyster]

bro its 3 days

like just wait 🥀 🥀

[misty scroll]

[junior kayak]

https://tenor.com/view/bellebows-tiktok-dog-funny-silly-gif-26293491

[misty scroll]

if discord isn’t banning people over cc distribution than im sure they won’t ban a bunch of (id assume) legal age people talking about wine

😭

[potent pond]

no one in htis conversation is legal

💀

so idk where that guess came from

[misty scroll]

wdym

[next goblet]

im recording my friend's duke decision opening tonight lmao

😭

[potent pond]

ur not 21 id hope.

[misty scroll]

im international

18 drinking age

[potent pond]

our rules are based on america

ur not above the rules just cuz ur legislation is different

[misty scroll]

but discord legislation is

in my country

[potent pond]

its in the rules u agreed to when u joined the server

[misty scroll]

[potent pond]

so deal or just try a different damn conversation

[misty scroll]

[junior kayak]

Bros not getting into Cornell

[potent pond]

[potent pond]

[junior kayak]

And bio in 20 hours

[next goblet]

i got my econ final tmr

lmao

[misty scroll]

do u both go to cornell

college age ppl

[potent pond]

honestly more like a quiz but yeah its our cumulative

[junior kayak]

Cornell College in Iowa

[misty scroll]

i just wanna ask

if cornell as depressing as ppl make of it

[junior kayak]

No

[misty scroll]

cuz im just going for the food

lol

[junior kayak]

Our food is so good 🥱

[misty scroll]

i ate at what’s the big one called

inforgot

[junior kayak]

On north?

[misty scroll]

harrison

[junior kayak]

Morrison

[next goblet]

i once dined at morrison

[misty scroll]

morrison

ya

[potent pond]

i prefer north star

i dont really like morrison

[junior kayak]

Morrison has the most options but it has the same stuff all the time

[misty scroll]

do you have a good one for Mexican food

[junior kayak]

Appel has a lot more options

[misty scroll]

like quesadillas

burritos

[junior kayak]

Trulium and Terrace but they take BRBs

[potent pond]

theres dining halls that u use swipes for

then eateries u use dingin dollars (BRBs) for

[misty scroll]

no yeah i mean like the buffet style halls

do any of them server mexican food

[potent pond]

mattins cafe also sells quesadillas

[potent pond]

sometimes

[junior kayak]

Yeah they serve occassionally

[potent pond]

menus change by day or week

[junior kayak]

West has Taco Tuesdays

[potent pond]

u can look them up on eatery

[misty scroll]

ah

[potent pond]

website

[next goblet]

wait is it hard to transfer out from coe to dyson

[misty scroll]

is the dairy bar swipe or brb?

[potent pond]

yes

[junior kayak]

Dyson is very hard to get into

[potent pond]

BRB

[misty scroll]

aww

[next goblet]

but coe is a close second isnt it

[junior kayak]

They have a set number they take every year

[misty scroll]

is the ice cream good?

[potent pond]

its ok

its very high in fat content

so i stopped

[junior kayak]

COE is only hard to internally transfer into because there's a lot of engineering reqs most majors dont follow

[potent pond]

for internal transfer?

^^^

[next goblet]

yeah

[misty scroll]

just walk up that big ass hill a few times

[junior kayak]

Id rather be round and happy than thin and sad

[potent pond]

round depressed and poor

is what i woulda been

[next goblet]

i applied ED to coe but i'm lowk considering transferring to dyson internally if i get accepted

[junior kayak]

😭

[potent pond]

$10 for a milkshake 3 times a week

is kind of some crazy work

[potent pond]

very very hard

[misty scroll]

is cas admit by major

[potent pond]

just do biz minor or CAS econ or hotel

[junior kayak]

Dining hall to go container and fill it with ice cream

[misty scroll]

or easy to change from what you do

[potent pond]

no

[next goblet]

if i do a biz minor will i take classes in dyson

[potent pond]

p sure no

but its similar courses

[junior kayak]

My friend literally needs a magnifying glass for her physics cheat sheet wtf 😭

[potent pond]

whyd u apply coe if u want dyson

[misty scroll]

oh in Cornell how does exams work

like is it semester

quarterly

[potent pond]

midterms or finals or what

[next goblet]

cuz all my ecs are based around codiing/physics/stem research

[potent pond]

cornell is semesterly

[next goblet]

but i want money so i wanna do finance now

[misty scroll]

no i meant like i saw something called prelims

what are those

[junior kayak]

You have prelims through the semester and a final exam

[potent pond]

each class can have midterms, usually between 0 and 4 exams throughout the sem

[junior kayak]

Prelims are midterms

[potent pond]

then classes can have a final

prelim just means heavily weighted exam

[misty scroll]

ah ok

[potent pond]

midterm is a bad word cuz its not like

in the middle

[misty scroll]

so you have normal exams too?

[potent pond]

😭 😭

[misty scroll]

or just prelims

[potent pond]

we have finals

theres no midterm specific week

[junior kayak]

Most classes just prelims and finals

[misty scroll]

no yeah i mean like

prelims finals and tests

[junior kayak]

Some classes have more exams that aren't weighted like prelims

[misty scroll]

like smaller quizzes o

[next goblet]

did u drop out of cornell

[junior kayak]

Like normal tests

But they would be more frequent

[potent pond]

varies wildly by class

[misty scroll]

yeah that’s what i meant

[potent pond]

this would be a better question once u get in and start planning ur fall schedule

cuz theres a class of like every style

[potent pond]

no

[junior kayak]

Some classes test on less material more frequently. Most follow the prelim schedule

[potent pond]

my old nickname just gave me an ick

[junior kayak]

Yeah cause this is so much better

[misty scroll]

and do yall have like a standard like everyone takes calc bio chem etc unless they tested out in ap

[potent pond]

varies by college

[misty scroll]

like would it be worthwhile to get 5s on my exams this year

[potent pond]

in CAS no

which exams

varies by college, u could google the credit transfer

[junior kayak]

I used 0 AP credit to get easy As. No stem class is an easy A I learned the hard way 😭

Just do the best you can on AP exams for credit just in case

Wordt case scenario you case out of a class

[misty scroll]

i have 5s on human geo world chem psych lang apush and apes and this year i could get 5s on bc lit macro micro gov and bio

idk which are useful

cuz i just feel like studying for all of them is a waste of time

[junior kayak]

Whats your major

[potent pond]

again the list is online.

[junior kayak]

Jae arent you bored and love questions

[potent pond]

https://courses.cornell.edu/enrollment-credit-requirements/advanced-placement-standing/

[junior kayak]

Behold! A question!

[misty scroll]

Poli sci

hopefully

[junior kayak]

I havent a clue for poli sci

[potent pond]

why r u so rude to me rn 😭 cut me a break bro

[junior kayak]

That wasnt meant to be rude 😭

[potent pond]

we aint close like that this is just rude

idk it was more the stacking of things

💀

[junior kayak]

https://tenor.com/view/eh-meh-jim-jim-halpert-the-office-gif-25317293

[potent pond]

lit would be id say try

im not sure if u can use AP credit for distribution reqs

the website i linked would probably say

[misty scroll]

lang and lit get dif credits?

[potent pond]

but if u can, then BC, and bio could be good to try on

[misty scroll]

cuz the website doesn’t show me anything or my phone is bugged

idk

[junior kayak]

Distribution reqs you can to an extent

[potent pond]

a 5 on Liut or LAng can get u out of an FWS

oh u alrdy have a 5

nvm then

[misty scroll]

ya

[potent pond]

u can quit lit

[misty scroll]

oh bet

well i don’t wanna quit cuz then my valedictorian goes away

but i won’t try on exam

[potent pond]

yeah thats

whati mean

[misty scroll]

ok bet i don’t wanna take fws anyway

too much writing

They took too many gummies

[indigo hollow]

LMAOO SAME

[ionic minnow]

Im not only one I hope.

[ionic minnow]

I didnt get any emails from them at all or a portal update

Im guessing tmr or weds

[dim wigeon]

Is everyone else’s financial aid portal empty now?

[warm elm]

Its been empty from the start

Bro i cant stop thinking about ts i wanna get innnn

[dim wigeon]

Same for me, except I heard that some people’s portals say processing

🥀

[warm elm]

Wait is that true,

?

Yea we might be cooked

[warm elm]

Oh i think its only for the people that received additional documentation request

[dim wigeon]

Maybe. I received one weeks ago and my checklist just disappeared after that, no processing

[frozen cape]

my portal has been empty from the start

[mighty sedge]

i thought they released an email stating the decision date usually 3 days before

Ig not today

[frozen cape]

i submitted my fafsa late tho

so either i just got rejected and they never bothered to input it or it got processed quickly

or its just not in yet lol

[loud topaz]

[dim wigeon]

Life is so hard when you’re not in love with any of your safeties 😭

[tranquil belfry]

shouldnt there be an email out by now ☹️

[loud topaz]

The only safety i am in love with is stony brook rn and they haven't sent me a letter yet 💔

But if it all goes wrong idgaf sbu take me

[dim wigeon]

I’m the opposite unfortunately, I don’t wanna go to sbu because too many people from my family have gone there

I’m interested in RPI though

[loud solstice]

i got rejected from stony brooks summer program 💔

[loud solstice]

have u checked out RIT too

[loud topaz]

Noooo

Thank god neither sides of my family are from new york

[dim wigeon]

No, my other safety is Virginia tech. I really do want to go to a college w a campus I like though, so RPI has extra points for that

[loud solstice]

fair enough

troy is a pretty nice town

[spice thicket]

i gotchu

[granite star]

yo ong bro

[warm elm]

[warm elm]
