[spice thicket]

[potent pond]

[spice thicket]

and goodbye everyone

[indigo hollow]

[livid shale]

https://tenor.com/view/so-tuff-boii-ratee-homer-uchiha-gif-4223328723248089954

[vagrant glade]

nah like whats the favorite corn at cornell

most schools have u send a update of sorts if ur deferred so they can evaluate with new knowledge of what ur doing nwo

[potent pond]

^^

and even if they dont ask for one its good to send one

seeing as ur profile could def have development from when u apply in oct/nov and february-april when they review rd

[blazing apex]

Congratulations to everyone who got it

[potent pond]

id recommend late jan, early feb cuz thats arnd when theyve finished received RD apps

[sullen ibex]

wsg new cornell ppl

while u guys were busy celebrating acceptances i had a final 🥀🥀

[deft jolt]

How was it

[sullen ibex]

meh

it’s lookin like an a- in the class 🥀

[deft jolt]

is that not good…

[open bobcat]

gang im getting a b+ in my physics class now probably

i needed a 27/45 on the frq and i think i sold

diabolical

[sullen ibex]

nah bro im trynna maintain my gpa fr

if i get an a in this class ill havd over a 4.0 this sem

but it prob won’t happen

[upper forge]

are we surviving the winter of ithaca guys

[open bobcat]

how does this work by the way, my school doesnt go over 4.0

[sullen ibex]

a+ counts to 4.3 here

[open bobcat]

oh

[sullen ibex]

but it’s hard to get

[open bobcat]

what percent in class do you need

[unique holly]

wait how would u say the grade deflation is

[sullen ibex]

meh depends on ur major and classes

in avg majors th avg gpa will prob settle around a 3.3 ish

[unique holly]

3.3 😭

[sullen ibex]

in harder ones it’ll be like a 3 and easier ones will be like a 3.8

[viscid hinge]

Is it ur last day of finals at least 💔

[sullen ibex]

yea lol

fortunately

[viscid hinge]

Bless

I’m curious tho do u guys ac deflate

[sullen ibex]

man i gota hope i guessed my shit right lmao

[viscid hinge]

In the way that grade deflation is defined

Like curving down and setting caps to who can get an A

[sullen ibex]

most of my classes r curved to b+

so u can get cubed down

[viscid hinge]

Mine r too

Oh shit

So if it’s higher they bump it down??

[sullen ibex]

ye most classes do th st

[viscid hinge]

WTFFFF

[sullen ibex]

but realistically

most of the time u won’t be higher

[viscid hinge]

THATS SO CHEEKS

[sullen ibex]

they make the exams hard

and u get cubed up

[junior kayak]

They curved down 😭

[sullen ibex]

like one of my classes fresh man yr 86 was a- bar

cuz everyone was doing badly

[junior kayak]

I emailed Glenn I am meeting with him start of next semester lmfao

[viscid hinge]

We get curved to a b+ in most classes too but if the avg is higher they don’t curve down

[junior kayak]

Apparently my friend with a raw 93 got an A-, but my 92.5 is a B+. There are some points I can argue for on the final hope I can get to that A-

[viscid hinge]

93 is an A-?

[junior kayak]

Most of the courses here are curved to B or B-

[viscid hinge]

[viscid hinge]

Curved to B- is evillll

[livid shale]

At my school a 93 is a 3.6 gpa

[viscid hinge]

93 is rlly only an A- for hum classes here cus they sometimes set cutoff at 94

[balmy elbow]

uc davis of the east

[sullen ibex]

who is glenn bro

[junior kayak]

Glenn Case

[viscid hinge]

stem classes is usually 93 for an A

[sullen ibex]

i dont know this guy

[junior kayak]

Hes evil

[sullen ibex]

what school do u go to

meeshat

[junior kayak]

I thought he was nice

Hes evil

[sullen ibex]

bruh

lemem recalc my grade hol up

[junior kayak]

He ruined my semester GPA 🥀💔

[sullen ibex]

tuff

[potent pond]

this curve down is insane

doles that mean 2208 is down too

[junior kayak]

Idk

Different curves

[viscid hinge]

Penn

Like ppl like to cry deflation but hearing what it’s like @ other places I don’t think it’s that bad

[tall marsh]

cornell 40% is still crazy to me

congrats everyone

[timid ivy]

[river tundra]

oh

damn

ty for giving me hopes

[river tundra]

[keen turret]

rd is where most people get in anyways

[sullen ibex]

cas

[potent pond]

tbf it gave me the neuroticism to fall in like with my safeties

but like

would rather have not stressed for so long abt it

[keen turret]

was cornell the only target you got into

[potent pond]

target

[keen turret]

/your top choices

[sullen ibex]

nah

[potent pond]

emory was march 30

[sullen ibex]

i got into all of mine

[potent pond]

cornell was march 31

[keen turret]

W

[keen turret]

ohh emery is nice

[potent pond]

I got wled from uchi and couldve ed3ed but i prefer cornell/emory to uchi

[sullen ibex]

i got into cmu acutally

did u get deferred

[keen turret]

ed3? 💀

[sullen ibex]

ed3 is crayz

[keen turret]

yea

[potent pond]

yeah my hs offers it

[sullen ibex]

tuff

[keen turret]

holy goated

[potent pond]

its prolly nothing too srs or major

but they like call and tell the admissions that you sign an official docu saying youll go if accepted

off wl

and i think uchi is a school that cares abt that typa thing

😭

got wled cmu

wled cwru

[sullen ibex]

wl cwru damn

[keen turret]

uchicago the king of ed

[ocean beacon]

I got deferred

😞😞😞😞😞

[keen turret]

idk why so many wl from cwru this year

[sullen ibex]

i got rejected from tufts lmao so

[sullen ibex]

yield prot maybe

[potent pond]

bro i went to school the next day my friend who applied history is flexing her acceptance and when i tell her i got wled for premed she rubs her A in my face..

[keen turret]

but wl just means reconsideration

[sullen ibex]

cwru realizing theyre not a target for a lotta ppl anymore

[keen turret]

if they wanted to yield protect they couldve rejected

[ocean beacon]

Bro that’s my ed 2 😭

[severe tide]

lol uchi ed0 rej here

[potent pond]

yeah i didnt interview at case

[keen turret]

HOW 💀

[potent pond]

so thats probably why i got wled

[severe tide]

IDK

[keen turret]

isnt ed0 a 100%

[sullen ibex]

oh shit lol

truts me there are better

[severe tide]

nah like 30-40%

[sullen ibex]

ed2 schools

[keen turret]

ey, its all good cornell better

better fit atleast

[grim locust]

No

[potent pond]

nothing a 100%

plenty of hooks/legacy get transfer optioned

[keen turret]

🛌

[potent pond]

instead of a direct accept

[keen turret]

legachy

[potent pond]

to cornell at least

[ocean beacon]

Wait I liked tufts…what other ed2s are there other than liek cmu

[potent pond]

uchicago

[sullen ibex]

whats ur major

[severe tide]

im 2/8 ppl from my school that got rej ed0 round no idea hwy

[sullen ibex]

i just think thats tufts isnt good for like

[potent pond]

jhu

[sullen ibex]

anything in particualrly

[keen turret]

wait when do you get the transfer option, before your freshman year of college?

[sullen ibex]

never liked it

[ocean beacon]

Comp eng or cs

[potent pond]

its like any decision

[sullen ibex]

they didnt like me either lol

[potent pond]

its not like an extra thing

itll be in ur decision

[keen turret]

gotcha

[sullen ibex]

r u going for a safer bet

or an easier bet

for ed2

[ocean beacon]

Idk a lot of ppl for my hs go there so

What’s the diff

[keen turret]

tufts is not tuff

[sullen ibex]

like if ur going to tufts cuz u think of it as a "safer" ed2 option i could see that maybe

[potent pond]

tufts seems cute

its smaller

[sullen ibex]

if ur goign to tufts cuz its a top ed2 option for u

i htink theres a lot of better ed2 schools

[keen turret]

their logo is literally the name of the college 🗿

auraless school

[ocean beacon]

Well I have a low gpa and sat

Honestly I’m surprised abt deferred for Cornell cs

And coe

[keen turret]

cornell accepted many low gpa from my school

depends on how you define low gpa of course

[ocean beacon]

I have a 3.8

[keen turret]

uw?

[ocean beacon]

And 1470 sat 😭

[sullen ibex]

thats not even bad lol

[ocean beacon]

Yes

[keen turret]

thats great

[ocean beacon]

Dawg

[keen turret]

i have a 1410 and 3.83 WEIGHTED

im so cooked yet got deferred from cmu

[sullen ibex]

oh shit

[keen turret]

aaaand expected C for senior year

[ocean beacon]

Ayyy we stand tgt

[keen turret]

i hate my stats to death but ecs and essays ftw

[ocean beacon]

Well yeah I’m edii to tufts

Cause it’s probably a reach at edii anyway

😭😭😭🔫

[sullen ibex]

my fav 5 ed2 schools: washu, cmu, nyu, vandy, emory

maybe emory then vandy

[keen turret]

nyu good

im doing ed2 there

[sullen ibex]

for cs?

interesting

[keen turret]

cas

na

i would never do cs even in an alternative reality

🛌

[sullen ibex]

wait ur a cmu ed1

and ur not cs?

what major r u

crazy work

[keen turret]

humanities/econ

[sullen ibex]

bro if ur econ

u shouldve ed1'ed stern lmao

its much ebtter than tepper

[keen turret]

i missed the deadline LMAO

i wrote cmu last minute

but stern is hard to get into, rather internal transfer from cas if i really wanted to

[sullen ibex]

ur cookde if u do that btw

stern finance clubs recruit rly early

[keen turret]

also im leaning more towards humanities than econ if anything, my ecs and work reflect more math side hence im applying that way, but im too much of a generalist to take a stand with one track

[sullen ibex]

its very cliquey ther

[keen turret]

humanities?

[sullen ibex]

oh nah nvm if ur humanities ur fine

[keen turret]

jeaa

[keen basin]

NOOO

[keen basin]

How do u look at raw grade???

[keen basin]

bruh wtf

that should be an A-

I thought the chem dept here was bad

F PHYSICS

[potent pond]

u calculate it

[oak jasper]

"The requested page could not be found."- Is this a normal message when clicking on view financial aid estimate for cornell

[stark cobalt]

7/15 in my school is crazy

[grim locust]

uh I got that but I also didn’t apply for aid cuz my fam makes above the limit

[river tundra]

do u have some essay tips for the 650 word

if i wanna do a double major do i talk abt both majors

[junior kayak]

Ikr

Im so tilted bruh 😭🤧

I emailed Glenn to meet with him after winter break

I got a 39/50 on the final, but they gave me 0 points on a question where my answer was literally what the rubric had

So it should be at least a 41+

[potent pond]

that would def u=push u back to
A-

[keen basin]

yeah

[spice thicket]

[pearl river]

i wrote about anime figures on my shelf

[spice thicket]

like literally every word was optimized ahah

[pearl river]

then tied each one to an activty on my commonapp section

[placid acorn]

Thats a cool idea

[spice thicket]

but I had to email my school conselor to let her know I got rejected and I literaly wrote

Dear school college conselor name

I hope this email finds you well. I was rejected from Cornell.

Best regards,
erkgoat

[pearl river]

Honestly that happened to me and my ED school

[placid acorn]

Admissions have shit taste ig

[glacial swift]

And it forced me to realize how scripted my essays were

[pearl river]

|| at the start and end

[glacial swift]

And check out other great unis

Ik it’s cliche but this genuinely gives you a chance to explore a bunch of different amazing schools

Rejection vs a deferral doesn’t mean you’re not qualified

[spice thicket]

i wish I didn't fuck up last year semester 2 lmao

[glacial swift]

Just means you weren’t the right fit for this one school

[pearl river]

me personally i like nendoriods but theyre so fucking expensive

[spice thicket]

rileyriley where are you going to school

[keen turret]

they are certainly cute and suitable for pc figurines

[spice thicket]

what does IB targets mean btw

[keen turret]

prices are absurd 😞

[pearl river]

investment banking

[keen turret]

[spice thicket]

[whole sage]

cornell has so many sweaty finance people its insane

[glacial swift]

I’m a junior here

[keen turret]

doing finance in the middle of nowhere is interesting

[glacial swift]

I did rd at corn

[spice thicket]

[pearl river]

I kicked CMU

Might add rice

[spice thicket]

[glacial swift]

A lot of these aren’t IB targets btw

[keen turret]

[placid acorn]

Because i wouldve been dying

Yeah

[keen turret]

[glacial swift]

But good to have backups

[pearl river]

[placid acorn]

Its like the easiest college within cornell

But a win is a win

[keen turret]

what do you think carried your application the most

[placid acorn]

I dont even know

[keen turret]

strategies man, its smart

[placid acorn]

I applied for design and environmental analysis

And I did have a decent portfolio

[keen turret]

i never heard of environmental analysis, sounds interesting

[placid acorn]

Test scores did a lot of work too

[spice thicket]

I couldn't bs my way into a diff major

lmao

[placid acorn]

Its one major 😭

[spice thicket]

ok guys time to change the nickname on the server

[pearl river]

i only have like a few reaches on here because i really dont think im that good

[placid acorn]

The major is "design and environmental analysis"

I dont even rly know what its about

[pearl river]

still thinkintg of cutting some out

[whole sage]

is that CALS

[placid acorn]

Che

[whole sage]

ohh ok

[spice thicket]

my list is literally only reaches do you want to see

[pearl river]

with cornell rejecting me today i think im scared to even touch upenn

[glacial swift]

You can still place from nontargets if you work your ass off you’ll be fine

[placid acorn]

Its rly weird

[whole sage]

idek any schools besides hotelie dyson eng and a&s

[pearl river]

stanford i have legacy tho

and im international so itmight be harder to get into a reach

[glacial swift]

Like IU investment banking workshop sends kids off to banks everyyear

[spice thicket]

hellur apply there dude?

[placid acorn]

They say design but in qnas they say they want students with good math

[keen turret]

W

[placid acorn]

And science

[pearl river]

if i dont get into a good school ill just go to like UBC or western ivey hopefully

[pearl river]

yeah i will

[glacial swift]

Do you have citizenship here?

[pearl river]

nah

[spice thicket]

yay

[pearl river]

i need F1

[placid acorn]

Almost Everyone in my school that applied cornell got in

[spice thicket]

university of british columbia???

[glacial swift]

Investment banks are notoriously not gonna sponsor intls

[placid acorn]

And every other ones were rejected or deferred

[pearl river]

yeah

[placid acorn]

Insane

[glacial swift]

I’d be looking into that as well

[pearl river]

i live in BC

[glacial swift]

And consider Canadian finance too

[placid acorn]

We have 2 princeton 1 brown and 4 cornells

Excluding commits

[pearl river]

yeah

i sent apps into the top canadian finance unis already

just shooting my shot at america as well

[placid acorn]

Some dude with a 99 gpa got rejected from upenn

Not even deferred

Makes no sense

[pearl river]

international?

[glacial swift]

Gpa isn’t everything

[placid acorn]

Nope

1570 sat raw

Likely valedictorian

[glacial swift]

It’s often necessary but not sufficient

[spice thicket]

what about ECs

[pearl river]

i thought gpa was out of 4.0 usually for american schools

[glacial swift]

There are thousands of valedictorians every year with great sat’s unfortunately

[gaunt kayak]

tmua trauma 🙏

[pearl river]

in Canada we use averages so its different

[placid acorn]

I dont know much but he has some crazy internships and he founded a nonprofit

[spice thicket]

what school are you applying to that your fingers are crossed

[placid acorn]

And like summer schools with 2 percent acceptence rates

Idk what happened

[keen turret]

those have become cliche lowkey

i think niche, impactful ecs have the most impact in any application

[placid acorn]

But like its still insane

[pearl river]

did he write a bomb threat for his essay or what

[keen turret]

for sure

[placid acorn]

Bro probably wrote about his nonexistent criminal records for supplements

[keen turret]

he'll do good in another college with best fit

[placid acorn]

Ig yeah

[pearl river]

"yo cluely.ai write me an essay that will get me into upenn 100%"

[keen turret]

for a EC mogger like me, ill probaly not

its fine tho

[gaunt kayak]

it's a song name! but basically all my rd schools LOLZ

[spice thicket]

guys I lowk should've prioritized my gpa a bit over ecs

[gaunt kayak]

you're right me too

[pearl river]

ts over for me im ending ap phys 1 with a 90

[spice thicket]

isn't that good?

[keen turret]

lowkey transfer route glimmers in my eyes more than before with these grades

[pearl river]

99 for 11 and 12 btw

its a big drop and lowk looks weird

[spice thicket]

im still failing to see how any of this is bad

good grades and more good grades

like what

don't be too hard on yourself @pearl river

[pearl river]

welp

we will see

rd next lets go @spice thicket

[spice thicket]

YES

usc is my only other early school

so lets hope I get good news next month

maybe I shoot for rice ed ii

anyone here know any good ed ii schools, idk if it doesnt make sense to do even if it gives 0.001% bump I'm taking it

[keen turret]

NYU

[spice thicket]

for engineering tho?

[keen turret]

good boost in chances and its a good school

yea for everything (heavy bias 🗿)

[spice thicket]

the rep came to my school and she lowk was cooking me

[keen turret]

nyu is great no bias tho

dont even liten to them

[pearl river]

uchicago maybe

[keen turret]

ed2 nyu boosts a good amount, plus its a great city integrated campus incase youre into that

[pearl river]

was thinking stern for me but stern lowk kinda harder than cornell

10 ish kids from my area already got accepted

rich ass private school kids

[keen turret]

they like full pay yea but your stats are good, im confident you can get in

[glacial swift]

ID avoid ed 2 tbh

[keen turret]

why

[glacial swift]

If ur searching for best ed 2 schools, you don’t have a clear #2

[deft jolt]

What is the yellow role

[pearl river]

its the a2c 25 one

[glacial swift]

Rates are usually not much higher than rd

[deft jolt]

Oh how did you get it

[glacial swift]

And give yourself more options versus locking yourself into another contract

[keen turret]

nyu cites ed2 and ed1 rates are almost equivalent

[pearl river]

channels and roles

[keen turret]

stats from my school also show good rates for ed2, but maybe its just a small sample size

[pearl river]

uchicago though...

1% RD

[keen turret]

idk i like nyu so its not much about the boosted rate

[glacial swift]

Yeah bc it’s usually Wharton deferrals going for stern imo

Kidding but if nyu IS your second choice do it

[pearl river]

ah.

[keen turret]

lmao real

[glacial swift]

Don’t just do it bc good school with ed 2

[spice gate]

ayy

[deft jolt]

Did you apply to 46 colleges 💀

[keen turret]

in the process

[deft jolt]

Why that many 😭

[keen turret]

but lowkey i might get rejected from every single one

i might get a freaking D this semester

[pearl river]

howd cmu go

[keen turret]

deferre

[pearl river]

ah

[keen turret]

plus i completely forgot how to think and focus in class

idek where im gonna end up

[pearl river]

ong

[keen turret]

probably on the streets idk

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-speed-ohio-regret-laugh-gif-1116863980313871990

[pearl river]

ts over

lets all take a gap year

[deft jolt]

😭 🙏

[keen turret]

my mom is already depressed with ts

[deft jolt]

bruh

[keen turret]

i cant make anyone around me cry anymore

aslong as I can get my mind back thats all i want tbh

maybe discord rot is real

[pearl river]

should i give up on wharton

[keen turret]

apply to CAS

lowkey i see no hype in business schools

you can make money anywhere

[pearl river]

im tryna do finance tho

[pearl river]

and pull a wolf of wall street?

bet

[keen turret]

are you genuinly interested in finance, or just doing it for the money

[pearl river]

genuinely interested

[keen turret]

hm

[pearl river]

did a lot of acct and treasurer work for school clubs

[keen turret]

you could try wharton, not discouraging you, but i personally dont see the hype/difference ebtween wharton and CAS thas all

[pearl river]

hmm

well

upenn had shit food when i was there in the summer

[keen turret]

somewhat on the basis of a super low ar lmao

[glacial swift]

Unfortunately u do rly want to be in the business school if you’re trying to recruit banking

But only apply to Wharton if you like it

[keen turret]

doesent seem like that changed according to a few students

[keen turret]

are they really that picky in job offerings for IB, damn

[glacial swift]

BU/BC also place decently well if you’re looking for slightly less comp schools besides those on your list

[glacial swift]

Yeah it’s just a prestige fest ngl

[keen turret]

🪦

[pearl river]

wharton lowk was my dream but i think its impossible

[glacial swift]

Oh also Georgetown is great

And everyone ik there loves it

DC is fun too

[pearl river]

oh yeah i was thinking of that

[glacial swift]

I’d still try

[keen turret]

go for it

[pearl river]

but they aint on commonapp

[pearl river]

which is another hassle

[glacial swift]

Ur life is worth the hassle

[pearl river]

welp... another 85 USD down

[keen turret]

really?

interesting..

[pearl river]

georgetown

[keen turret]

OH

i thougth you meant upenn mb

[pearl river]

nah upenn is on there

[keen turret]

yea georgetown goated im applying there aswell

[glacial swift]

If u get IU Kelley u don’t need ASU

Could save money there

Uchi could also be a good ed 2 if u wanted to (especially if you’d want to do Chicago finance)

[pearl river]

yeah im leaving asu until i hear back

honestly

i wouldnt even go if i get into ubc

[oak jasper]

I did!

[pearl river]

chicago financea as in work there

ohhhhh helll no

i got kids in my school pretending to be von

[glacial swift]

You also gotta look into where schools place when you’re applying

Like UT is not a big NYC feeder

[pearl river]

true true

[glacial swift]

They feed to Texas locations of banks

If u care about location

Chicago is great tho no shade on them smh

[pearl river]

https://www.peakframeworks.com/post/ib-target-schools would you say this list accurate tho

[glacial swift]

Better COL then NYC

[pearl river]

aint violence there pretty bad

[glacial swift]

Assuming at the biz school for each of these yeah

No not rly

Same as any big city

Just don’t be an idiot

[pearl river]

yeah thast been a growing concern of mine

especially after the brown university shooting

[glacial swift]

Brown isn’t in a big city

Unfortunately the shooter seemed to have some motive against the university

Former student

[pearl river]

ah..

[glacial swift]

But yeah terrible what happened

[potent pond]

have they been like

apprehended

[pearl river]

apparently

theyre dead

[potent pond]

OH

oh

[pearl river]

took his own life

attended brown for 3 semesters and didnt get his degree

wait

he killed an MIT prof 2 days after that

🤑

wait what

[deft jolt]

where’s my rejection bounty 😔

[tall marsh]

ok let me readu p on this

[junior kayak]

What are bonks

[rugged jungle]

Bonked synthchip#0

[lusty hinge]

its an economy where you can do that

[sullen ibex]

like id say biggets targets are like: wharton, harvard, cornell, columbia, stern
then: umich, yale, uchicago, pton, berkeley
and i perosnally dont think duke, gtown, uva, notre dame, ut r as strong

but this is also opinion

[lusty hinge]

imo this from that link shows the real picture

[sullen ibex]

wait i dont think it does tho

cuz its total hires

like ut just has a shit ton of students

[pearl river]

yeah im kinda dumb for HYPSM and i got rejected from cornell sooo

[lusty hinge]

% of undergrad

not the total hire column

[sullen ibex]

u gotta combine the two of em lol cuz liek then u have southern methodist being better than stanford

if u use %

[lusty hinge]

LOL

stanford is more interested in tech

[pearl river]

yeah stanford doesnt even have undergrad business

[sullen ibex]

yea i mean a better metric is just like perceived prestige i guess

like if more ppl at stanford were targeting ib

im sure they woudl get offers lol

[sullen ibex]

u dont need undergrad business

everything for ib is very self studiable

[lusty hinge]

i mean... what isnt self studiable though

[sullen ibex]

iq test

[karmic nacelle]

hi guys how were decisions

i just woke uo a while ago

[tall marsh]

actually a lot of accepts

[karmic nacelle]

Queen/King/Monarch what happened

[next goblet]

I got deferred w 36 act, usapho, usaco gold

Damn

[river tundra]

what if i put major 1 as cs and major 2 as econ when selecting majors what do i do then

[rugged jungle]

smiy#0 has been given his starter kit of bonks

[tall marsh]

there’s still hope

[loud topaz]

As part of my loci should i send in a music supplement

[glacial swift]

It’s usually just a one page letter

You could if the portal lets you tho

[dim wigeon]

I sent in an art supplement with my app and I had to make a website and link it

Although I’m not sure if it works the same with audio files

[loud solstice]

bro this cornell thread has almost 24k messages

i think we are by far the most active

[wicked coyote]

cuz we are goated

[gaunt kayak]

yay

[shrewd compass]

i cry 😔 😔

w teacher tho

[tiny fractal]

cornell ts essay so cornY

[sullen ibex]

bro did not need to flex the stats

[sullen ibex]

its ustally just like a letter, and its also typically best sent after the rd deadline

cuz thats when they start reviewing ur app again

[sullen ibex]

yep thas what i did

u dont actuayl get to see what major ur "admitted" for

u just get admitted into college of arts and sciences

and then if u take the core requiremnts of the major then u can declare it

[tiny fractal]

can someone in dyson dm me lowkey

[sullen ibex]

lol what do u need to know

[tiny fractal]

i want some advice for this 650 word essay

basically

the prompt itself is so broad

[tall marsh]

650 words 😭 😭

[loud topaz]

okk 🥹

[sullen ibex]

gang tahts up to ur discretion

u gotta figure it out

[loud topaz]

lowk i’m so frozen rn i don’t feel like i can do anything

shocked asf but i need to lock in

[tiny fractal]

and i wanna talk about a lot of different dimensions thru which I've explored business so i js wanna talk to someone on how to frame and if like i need to connect every idea and stuffs

[tall marsh]

take a day or two to rewind

[sullen ibex]

rejected ed or what?

or like accepted ed

[loud topaz]

deferred

[sullen ibex]

oh

tuff

[tiny fractal]

bro there's NO reason for a supp to be 650 words

[loud topaz]

ts is so chopped

[sullen ibex]

wharton for u?

or normal penn

[tiny fractal]

cas

[sullen ibex]

ah

i also applied cas at upenn lol

oh wait

no wait i faded upenn

i was gonna apply

meh i wouldve gone here ovre there anyways unless it was wharton

[tiny fractal]

i love wharton

[loud topaz]

how does being deferred play into rd application pool anyways

[tiny fractal]

such direct prompts

[loud topaz]

like i’m glad that they review my app again and i can continue to show my interest whatever

but outside of that does the admissions committee really gaf

[lilac lava]

is there an advantage to beind deferred in the RD pool

or is it same odds as evb else

[tall marsh]

cas

[sullen ibex]

same odds i think

[placid acorn]

Im so excited for cornell

I have this friend whos

Brainrotted as hell

And he somehow made it into engineering

Insane

We're probably gonna room together

[deft jolt]

Congrats to you both!

[potent pond]

U should probably have a connection

U could do skmecreativity thing

Like” hiking “diff trails

Or dmth more relevant

[balmy lance]

cornell is taking the cake this year

[livid vale]

cornell and brown were the only ivy threads that were full of joy and love

[wicked coyote]

i just checked my aid and it’s a near full ride omg

[livid vale]

yay!!!!

[desert thorn]

are you treated any differently (as in is there an advantage) to being deferred when they review the regular pool or are you the exact same and it’s like you applied rd

[livid vale]

if you sent in a LOCI (which you should) they'll look at it

i wouldnt say theres an advantage inherently persay

but sending a loci after being deferred ed gives them a good signal that you are interested in them

[hushed cedar]

does cornell care alot about test scores

[tall marsh]

id say so

cds says considered but theyre requiring test scores this year so

[hot glen]

They are?

[tall marsh]

yea

[hot glen]

How wasn't I aware of that

I was debating sending my scores or not lol

Easiest answer ever then

[potent pond]

I can read/help with app stuff for Cornell cas or coe

[potent pond]

Inherently there’s clear displayed interest but they kicked you from your official binding contract so not much

[junior kayak]

Chat we got cooked by orgo 🫡

Why did they release orgo final score I just got home let me enjoy myself damn

[potent pond]

i got cooked by bchem

🫠

coping so hard rn

[whole sage]

Phys 1112 </3

[keen basin]

I wanna now the average on the final

OOOOOH

[junior kayak]

So I got absolutely cooked cause I did nkt get that 😭

I think I get a C+ on the final 😭

[junior kayak]

My friend's TA said my friend is barely above average and he got a 67

[keen basin]

67 on the final

???

or class average?

[junior kayak]

Youre asking what the average was on the final, right?

[keen basin]

no at first i meant class average

[junior kayak]

Idk

[keen basin]

bc its on canvas

OK

[junior kayak]

It gets curved to a B tho

[keen basin]

so final was mid 60s

so I got avg basically

rip

people did so bad tho

[junior kayak]

I got severely below average bruh 😭

Im like a standard deviation

I got so cooked on it that was the worst exam I did I started studying two days before 😭

[keen basin]

my friends friend supposedly got 70/200

[junior kayak]

I got a 100/200

[keen basin]

35%

yeah u did better than some of my friends

ur fine

[junior kayak]

Were all cooked

A full standard deviation

Why did they have to release rhis before Christmas

Smh

[keen basin]
