bright valley
#

junior plank
#

bright valley
junior plank
#

I applied for aid and didn’t get id

#

And everyone I know that applied for Cornell aid afaik hasn’t gotten one

spare sapphire
#

im not sure

#

what it is then

junior plank
#

Some sort of clerical error probably

spare sapphire
#

yea this might be it

bright valley
prisma cloak
#

possibly

#

usc sent me a errored email too

junior plank
#

Interesting

bright valley
#

ayy thats an idoc req

prisma cloak
#

Oh

junior plank
#

Yup

spare sapphire
#

yea isnt that fin aid

bright valley
prisma cloak
#

wait is that tmi

spare sapphire
#

im p sure its automated

prisma cloak
#

am i getting doxxed

spare sapphire
#

it doesnt rlly mean anything

#

more ppl worrying abt apps and downbad are on a2c dicussion pages

#

which is why they say it may mean smth

#

when it rlly doenst

#

so thats prob why u think that

sudden radish
#

and like, I am very broke

bright valley
#

most people dont

#

Only portal astro is the accepted students email like 3 days after ivy day

#

idoc is to get more info dw about it

#

i got 6 requests but they were all automated

sudden radish
#

so u got them almost immedeatly after you applied?

bright valley
sudden radish
#

yea

#

it was the case for me too for 2 colleges, maybe they request it for internationals and the others simply don't

bright valley
sudden radish
#

👍

bright valley
#

its not a sign, please dont take it as such

sudden radish
#

Yea I mean my CSS profile is kinda miserable too so I don't expect any IDOC anyways lol

junior plank
#

^ admissions offices are typically separate from financial aid offices and operate independently of each other

sudden radish
#

yo Ijust had a deja vu/ a dream where I had this exact same conversation with you guys and got accepted afterwards 💀

sudden radish
#

lmao

#

yk those moments where you kinda can "predict the future"

#

bcz you saw those moments in a dream

bright valley
#

Y are my parents talking about sum cortisol

LOL

limpid flame
#

prisma cloak

Whatttt

potent pond

bright valley
potent pond

prisma cloak
potent pond

prisma cloak

potent pond

#

Opening decisions is now 100x scarier

😂

candid pelican
#

What happens if you get rejected

potent pond
#

this is my full screen

candid pelican
#

Cornell email address #REVOKED

potent pond
#

i hovered to show when mine was created

#

which was about a week after decisions got out

prisma cloak
potent pond
#

and a few days after i committed

prisma cloak
potent pond
#

was ur class this past summer?

prisma cloak
potent pond
#

mightve just been to like

#

store ur transcript

prisma cloak
potent pond
#

since it was created august, when the class ended

candid pelican
#

Ask your classmates

potent pond
#

justso u can like request ur transcript n stuff

#

as someone whos taken a summer class at cornell as a cornell undergrad

#

the classmates do not socialize

#

😭

#

cuz half r hsers

#

half r undergrads

#

some r full grown adults

candid pelican
#

Damn!!!

prisma cloak
potent pond
#

its so awkward

#

being like a ug soph

#

then theres a hs junior in it

#

makes me fele predatory

#

maybe i just dont socialize

#

💀

prisma cloak
#

😂

candid pelican
#

Problematic age gap in Cornell Bio 103

prisma cloak
#

Ok ill update yall

#

i have the class in few hours

candid pelican
#

Idk I get it I would feel awkward taking a class with a bunch of babies

potent pond
#

for summer

candid pelican
#

Ohh ok

potent pond
#

core would be in person which is so insane

#

to me

#

why someone would

#

come here

candid pelican
#

Ithaca is kinda hype

potent pond
#

yeah but

#

taking these classes do nothing to help ur admission

#

and they cost about $5k each

#

so

candid pelican
#

Ah true

limpid flame
potent pond
#

on top of housing thats insane

potent pond
candid pelican
#

Idk I feel like it would be fun if you have 5k to burn somehow

#

But unnecessary

limpid flame
potent pond
#

in general, id say its as hard as u choose to make it

#

usually u get in for what ur suited for, so if u get in ull do fine in that field

#

and if not ull pivot to something u love regardless

#

sure, core is annoying, but its not like i was dying

#

i wasnt happy with my grades but it didnt like take me out of the running for anything im pursuing in the future

#

im double majoring + minor + premed so i do make it kind of hard on myself but there are options to take like 4 classes a sem instead of 7

#

which helps

limpid flame
#

I see its not as bad as my friends in cornell say it is

potent pond
#

lol we like complaining

#

trauma bondings a big thing at academia schools

prisma cloak
#

wait but yall

#

cornell sent me an email to my account i use only for college apps

#

nah i gotta be patient ill update yall soon

potent pond
#

Ya j be patient

#

imo good sign but not concrete

glacial swift
#

And it’s an academically rigorous school

#

But I’ve enjoyed as well

potent pond
#

^

#

most ppl complain abt it but do/survive fine

#

its few that are actually beaten down by it and if so they transfer out or take a lil break semester(s)

#

or just switch majors

woven bobcat
keen basin
#

I think college in general is unforgiving and people here load themselves up with hard classes and extracurriculars so it's only natural that it's difficult

#

the weather is shit tho for 80% of the year and that also makes everything worse

plucky bolt
#

yo did cornell blocked me or some
i just realized they never replied to any of my email 😭

loud topaz
#

idk maybe ur ao saw it and forgot to respond

#

#

Pls gng

prisma cloak
#

Hey Yall!!!! Ok so I was lowk embarrassed to update yall, but then I thought about it and I didn't want some prospective students who saw my messages about my Cornell email to lose hope :))

#

And so the email about the NetID was actually for my dual enrollment !

junior plank
#

Wdym?

#

Like students who did DE with Cornell during high school?

prisma cloak
#

About NetID, yea cuz I did DE

#

with cornell

junior plank
#

Ohhh

#

That makes sense!

glacial swift
prisma cloak
#

Yeppp

junior plank
#

Did you call admissions?

glacial swift
#

Considering how much classes cost per credit

prisma cloak
#

Nope I asked classmates

prisma cloak
#

free

#

cuz I did it with my school

glacial swift
#

Interesting

#

We aren’t rly known for giving away free classes lol but nice

prisma cloak
#

Yasss, but sorry to those that i may have discouraged!!

prisma cloak

or our district

We charge 1800 a credit lmao

#

Hi

#

Does not getting an idoc request for cornell as an intl a bad sign?

deft jolt
#

IDOC is just to confirm or get additional financial information

bold fjord
#

I just wanna see if stuff was received on their end

wicked elbow
#

they prolly did

#

otherwise theyd ask you

#

i think

bold fjord
#

Ok, just strange I can't find a check list confirming that

wicked elbow
#

ya they dont have one

bold fjord
#

Ya even though there's a part that says "check your financial aid status" it doesn't have information

pallid flame
# deft jolt No

but why would they not comfirm if im telling the truth if they are planning to aid me

rose trench
#

Pls millstein I need this

Lolllll I was about to send the doakes gif

But yea it’ll prob work in 30 mins

#

Maybe an hour

sudden radish

It works now

they didn't change anything for me

timid ivy
#

Yea same

#

Has millstein come out yet or nah?

#

Just curious

loud solstice
#

No idts

#

They proly send it out after rd

potent pond
bronze stone
#

I’ve heard it from ppl at Cornell where if it’s 2 similar applicants, they end up taking the New Yorker over the out of state applicant

#

Not all the time **

clever ivy
#

what does this mean

#

well 30% of cornellians are from NY

junior kayak
#

The contract colleges are required to admit a large portion of in-state students

#

Still a pretty low acceptance rate. Doesn't magically change everything

raw jetty
#

did anyone who got into cornell ed get their acceptance stuff in the mail yet or does that go out later

#

my sister got in ed

to be very honest

that’s really cool ty for your help!

I know it’s a separate committee

alright thank you ❤️

timid ivy
loud solstice
#

I never got any acceptance package

stiff oyster

#

id say its prob the best job on campus in terms of the overall package

#

although it pays similar to other jobs

stiff oyster
timid ivy
#

That’s a cool job lol

#

U get to read apps?

stiff oyster
#

we dont participate in decision making but we do have access to files in order to be able to support the office

#

yet under very strict legal frameworks where basically everything is confidential

timid ivy
#

That’s interesting
I’ve heard people say that at some schools, the shorter essays (like 50 word ones) don’t mean much/are just for interns/lower impact roles to read. Are there any experiences you’ve had that debunk/validate this claim?

stiff oyster
#

I do not know the answer to that but it would be intuitive to think that everything counts

#

Being able to convey important information briefly is a good skill to have

#

And given how many schools recieve thousands of applications and do not spend hours reading individual applications, being able to convey that info like that should be able to work in your advantage

#

As we always say quality over quantity

bronze stone
#

I’m so cooked

#

I don’t see any aid for me on the portal

#

Ggs guys

#

No ivys for me

plucky bolt
#

I lwk should’ve apply here

#

I just saw someone with a 3.2 got in

bronze stone
#

How.

plucky bolt
#

Idk

#

Admission is like a game

bronze stone
#

Bro I’ve been hearing a washU admission is a good sign for the ivys but I have no clue how true that is

plucky bolt
#

Didn’t got a full ride at WashU

#

WashU is such a good school

glacial swift
#

No causation

bronze stone
#

Ikkkkk

glacial swift
#

Also idk anyone here who applied to washu

#

Idk how big the overlap is tbh

bronze stone
#

But one can wonder since washu doesn’t do yield protection

glacial swift
#

Maybe for med people

bronze stone
#

Just hoping and praying for ILR

glacial swift
#

Gl ilr is great

bronze stone
#

I know!!! Fits in perfectly with my policy driven ECs and essays

junior kayak
#

Acceptance to one school absolutely ≠ an acceptance at another school

#

Zero hint whatsoever

#

Everything is out of your control, just relax and await your decisions in a few days. Not worth stressing over it now

#

Easier said than done, but just breathe meltingsob

misty tartan
#

Do you also do tours

#

I know somebody at USC who I think did similar to you

#

She started as a tour guide sophomore year but bumped up to a student worker junior year but continued doing tours

stiff oyster
misty tartan
#

How much can they have you do is my question

#

The absolute most I’ve heard is some kid claiming case western gave students advisory power but I forget the exact logistics

stiff oyster
#

because cornell is federated it could probably max go up to creating a reader sheet

#

although this is a guess

misty tartan
#

I think Berkeley uses grad students for that

stiff oyster
#

yeah i think we have alot of undergrads become readers when they graduate

#

now bc each college here has their own seperate committee on top of the central office it would prob be hard to be an actual reader even bureaucratically speaking

ivory gyro
stiff oyster
#

yeah i feel like having power to do anything other than access files would probably be hard to justify esp for underclassmen

#

now if your a senior i could see a pathway into having an increased role assuming youve spent 3 years in the office

ivory gyro
#

i assume its probably similar everywhere

stiff oyster
#

yeah you cant disclose any info not even to parents

#

if you want you can knock yourself out and read apps yourself bc you are authorised to view

#

but if you so much utter a word to anyone outside the office or applicant/counsellor of any details youre done

misty tartan
#

Can’t you disclose if they are a minor

#

To parents

stiff oyster
#

nope

#

the applicant has to provide consent

#

usually by being there

meltingsob we ARE GETTING TO CORNELL

Lot of niche stuff the other ivies don’t have

Also contract colleges = every New Yorker applies

#

i disagree that cornell is one of the more known ivies

#

but it makes sense for high # of apps; its the largest ivy soproportionally it should be higher

clever ivy
#

think it depends on the year

manic dock
clever ivy
#

i think harard columbia and upenn

#

get the most

#

considering their class sizes

#

cornell admits way more

manic dock
#

for cornell, it depends on major

clever ivy
#

dartmouth gets the least by a lot

manic dock
#

i think duke is between columbia and upenn

clever ivy
#

yea make sense

#

columbia and penn acept quite a good amnt

#

p confident in those

#

same with cornell

clever ivy
#

wait for cornell i was reading online that they accept more kids to certain schools due to state funding

#

like human ecology or life sciences

#

some figures estimating >50%

potent pond
#

Yeah like half the uni is land geant

#

Meaning we get money from the state

#

So they accept more instates or have a larger % of new yorkers than other colleges within cornell

clever ivy
#

thats p interesting

#

do you think it makes it harder?

#

is it for cals only or also human eco

glacial swift
#

Y’all love to throw that around lmao

#

Especially if they didn’t get off WL

clever ivy
#

preference

glacial swift
#

From what ik mainly money thing but rly don’t know

#

You’ll see Thursday tho!

timid ivy
#

Tbf most of them didn’t even accept their position on the waitlist bc they got into their top choice

#

But yea could mean anything

clever ivy
#

i heard its lower tuiton

#

if ur a ny resident

glacial swift
#

Yeah half off

clever ivy
#

for 4 colleges in cornell

#

what if u do an internal transfer

glacial swift
#

If you go out of contract, gotta pay full

#

Like if u go into CAS

clever ivy
#

ik ppl who transferred to dyson

#

they said it was p easy

glacial swift
#

depends

clever ivy
#

i mean these ppl were super tryhards

#

so that may be why

glacial swift
#

But also placement now for finance is so early that you basically need to be ready by soph fall

glacial swift
#

Yeah

#

I’m just saying u gotta do most of placement on ur own if that’s your strat

clever ivy
#

can you switch colleges b4 the year even starts

clever ivy
glacial swift
#

After freshman year

clever ivy
#

do uk any1 who did it b4 first year

glacial swift
#

You can’t internal transfer until you’re a year in

clever ivy
#

makes sense

glacial swift
#

Unless diff major at CAS or smth

clever ivy
#

being in dyson wont mean ur good for business

#

isnt it rlly only investment banking and asset management

#

that go on that track for sophomore year applications

glacial swift
#

No basically every finance industry is now

rose trench
glacial swift
#

Like consulting junior summer started Jan 1 this year

clever ivy
#

i didnt apply dyson so if i get what do u think i should do

glacial swift
#

Get into clubs

#

Get good grades

#

Network your ass off

clever ivy
#

can i try to get an internal trasnfer b4 hand

glacial swift
#

To Dyson?

#

No

clever ivy
#

yes

glacial swift
#

Gotta wait a year

clever ivy
#

oh

limpid flame
glacial swift
#

Should have applied Dyson then lmao

clever ivy
#

i got into a school early can i use that?

clever ivy
glacial swift
#

Nolan but starting cornell law this fall

#

Doing banking this summer tho

#

But can speak to finance or law stuff mainly

clever ivy
#

i wanted to do dyson or engineering but

#

i decided not to

rose trench
#

Why

clever ivy
#

i dont have much business related stuff

rose trench
#

I see

clever ivy
#

also i think theres a chance they think i will go to a hypsm

#

esp what a lot of ppl told me

#

so i didnt want to gamble on anything

rose trench
#

I applied stat science in a & s

#

But probs not getting it

clever ivy
#

gl

rose trench
steady geyser
clever ivy
#

too risky

#

they might thikn ill attend a hypsm instead

steady geyser
#

Help lol is the engineering acceptance % astronomically low

clever ivy
#

so they may not waste their time giving me a spot

steady geyser
#

????

clever ivy
#

because my app is rlly good fir for those schools

steady geyser
#

I don’t think cornell would yield protect you

clever ivy
#

i think they would

steady geyser
#

mm okay

clever ivy
#

well im not tryna

#

flex or anything

steady geyser
#

Alright lol

clever ivy
#

i mean to say i have certain ec's

#

that a lot of ppl p much go to hypsm

#

i already got in early to 1 school

steady geyser
#

I hope it works out that you get your hyps

#

since m already came out

clever ivy
#

i already got in but im still waiting for everything else to come

steady geyser
#

to MIT?

clever ivy
#

obv they arent yield protecting every1

#

my freinds in my school are in this server

#

i gatekeep in school and only like 10 ppl know

#

i dont think my app is world class but i think if they read they may have an impression i might not go

#

thats what i mean to say

#

obv theres a high chance they just dont think im a good fit

steady geyser
#

I suppose that makes sense

clever ivy
#

engineering is just a low % rate as well

#

its too many variables i didnt watn to deal with

steady geyser
#

I applied engineering lol but am expecting a no

clever ivy
#

also im not a super engineering sweat

steady geyser
#

but I applied for it because…I want to study engineering…

#

And I’m not playing games

clever ivy
#

yea but i know a lot of ppl apply a diff school and do an internal transfer

steady geyser
#

like I’ll just apply for my actual major everywhere haha

clever ivy
#

i mean i have everyone's app that got into cornell last year from my hs

steady geyser
#

Well I wish you the best of luck

clever ivy
#

we sent like 12-15 i think

#

but i only have like 10 ppl's apps

#

so i was evaluating based off the ones admitted from my place

potent pond
clever ivy
#

i think one thing i noticed was like ik ppl who made brown cornell dartmouth

#

who had diff types of structured profiles

#

than sm1 who made northwestern and wiped ivies

potent pond
#

Humec and cals which also includes dyson

clever ivy
#

dyson is a land grant?

#

im assuming CAS isnt

potent pond
#

Cas and eng are not

clever ivy
#

r u at cornell

potent pond
#

Yeah

clever ivy
#

what year and major

potent pond
#

ILR is land too

clever ivy
#

do u enjoy it

potent pond
#

yeah i like it

clever ivy
#

they had rlly low gpas

potent pond
#

im a junior

clever ivy
#

and applied specifically there

clever ivy
potent pond
#

Im studying premed majoring in cog sci and info sci with a minor in psych

clever ivy
#

did u get in for cas?

potent pond
#

Got in for eng

#

Transfered to cas after firstyr

clever ivy
#

is corenll premed good i heard there was a lot of grade deflation

potent pond
#

Its fine ppl r dramatic

clever ivy
#

r u from NY

potent pond
#

Yeah

potent pond
#

its ridiculous and cornell is really good at selecting for fit

clever ivy
#

no i mean

#

i literally know ppl who did this

potent pond
#

So just apply where u want or u might get trapped in smth u dont like

clever ivy
#

ive seen they had low gpas

#

but then applied IRL

potent pond
#

ilr

clever ivy
#

yea

#

i mean that

#

i saw that on reddit too

#

is cornell not aware of this

potent pond
#

?

#

I stand by disagreeing with backdooring

clever ivy
#

but ig they cant rlly predict if ur gonna transfer

#

i mean to say does not corenll know

#

this is going on

potent pond
#

If ur saying they wanted ilr then i dont get why this is monumental

#

Its not that deep u make it sound like cornellgate

#

Once we’re in we do not give five shits abt undergrad admissions

clever ivy
#

they didnt

potent pond
#

No one here actively discusses oh did u ED, RD, etc

clever ivy
#

i thought ppl casually ask

potent pond
#

So even if we know, we do not care

clever ivy
#

first year

#

just randomly

potent pond
#

Sometimes but not often at all

#

Theres so many other more important questions

clever ivy
#

why doesnt cornell

#

restrict internal trasnferring

#

from like labor relations

potent pond
#

?

#

Cuz it aint that deep

#

Idk a single internal transfer from ILR

#

ur blowing it out of proportion

#

And again

#

I dont like backdooring

#

So i dont like talking about it

clever ivy
#

oh ok

#

no im just asking beacuse i feel like its not good for the college

#

im assuming labor relations is by far the least popular college

potent pond
#

its not that deep bc most ppl are normal and dont do backdooring

#

It is not 💀

#

Thats insane

clever ivy
#

i mean by # of applicants it seems like it is

potent pond
#

ilr is doing fine

clever ivy
#

thats what i saw

potent pond
#

Its a unique niche topic

clever ivy
#

i mean by # of ppl applying

potent pond
#

Ofc it has fewer apps

clever ivy
#

im not saying its bad

#

just less popular

#

less popular doesnt mean bad

potent pond
#

Its not

#

Its popular amongst the ppl who find it relevant or interesting

#

Context.

glacial swift
#

ILR is also extremely popular lmao

#

If anything brooks is least applied to

#

ILR is great for pre law, consulting, politics, etc

#

They do just fine.

rose trench
#

Fewer apps fewer seats

stiff oyster
#

ILR was quite selective before brooks because it drew in many public policy kids

#

its acceptance rate did go up after brooks but this year the trend is leaning to more selectivity again

#

it is self-selecting enough and most people stay in the college, with few ITs each year which doesnt create issues because there are also people that transfer out of CAS and other colleges, drop out, and even transfer into ILR

stiff oyster
#

the reality is that the types of people in ILR that could not theoretically get into lets say CAS will probably not have the incentive to transfer out because the coursework could be harder for them

#

esp the in state kids cause they get a better price, alot of NY funded programs, and a quite feasible way to maintain a 4.0 where they can still get all the benefits of a cornell degree

clever ivy
#

brooks?

stiff oyster
#

Jeb E. Brooks of Public Policy

potent pond

#

i wish the price was even less

#

70k is crazy to be advertsied as a state school

true mantle
#

It’s partially subsided by NY

#

That’s why it’s not cheaper

long kayak
#

ikik

#

hochul please give them more money

stiff oyster
#

they get very little money from NY

#

practically its a private school

potent pond
#

70k is also like

#

oncampus cost

#

if u live off campus, u have the option to seek cheaper housing and dining options

#

which can easily save up to 10k

#

also the sunys r generally just still expensive, imo the 40k of suny bing is crcazy too

hot glen
glacial swift
#

Keep in mind that’s for upperclassmen

#

But lot cheaper imo and lot more fun

potent pond
#

but imo yes

#

the main downsides ive experienced are less campus-level convenience (where i live, theres fewer buses to access, and its further from quick and easy yet costly oncampus food/convenience stores)

#

as well as it being harder to spontaneously hang out with my friends

#

but both of these are work roundable

#

and avoidable

#

im just lazy

glacial swift
#

Did u take the tcat before?

potent pond
#

yeah

glacial swift

I like never did tbh

potent pond

everywhere

i still do

but like once a day

maybe twice

I like walking too much for that

i tripped and ate shit getting on the bus today

and left a chunk of my leg

i’m feeling a bit unhinged today so i’m going to say it plainly, you seem like a rather insufferable person who wouldn’t make a good addition here anyway and i can only hope that your accomplishments are so spectacular that it outweighs any deficiencies in your character

anyways! good luck everyone, you’ve all worked so hard and you deserve this so much <3

# clever ivy also i think theres a chance they think i will go to a hypsm

OKAYYYYY 😩 so like imagine you’re applying to Cornell engineering 🧍‍♂️💻 and instead of worrying about getting IN… you’re worried they won’t even bother because you look like you’d LEAVE 😭‼️

Like I’m sitting here thinking “hmm acceptance rate already in the trenches” 📉⚰️ and THEN my brain goes “also what if they think you’re a HYPSM flight risk” 🏃‍♂️💨💀

And now suddenly applying feels TOO RISKY?? 😭 like since when is being qualified a LIABILITY 🤨

Because hypothetically… if someone had like decent ECs 🤓✨ and maybe already got into a school early 📬🎉 and kinda gives “could go somewhere else” energy…

Cornell admissions be like: hmm… interesting… let’s simply NOT admit them so our yield stays pretty 📊✨

LIKE HELLO??? I WOULD GO 😭 I WOULD LITERALLY GO. I WOULD WAKE UP IN ITHACA AND SAY “wow it’s so cold” AND STILL BE GRATEFUL ❄️🍂🙏

But now I’m overthinking EVERYTHING 🌀 like did my app sound too confident?? 😭 did I accidentally give “backup school vibes” when in reality YOU WERE THE PLAN 💔🫠

And then people are like “they don’t yield protect like that” 😐 and I’m like okay but what if they read my app and were like “this one has options” 🤨📈

SIR I DO NOT HAVE OPTIONS I HAVE ONE EARLY ACCEPTANCE AND A DREAM 😭📉

Meanwhile engineering is already like “astronomically low acceptance rate” 🚀📊 so now it’s not even just “are you good enough” it’s “are you LOYAL enough” 🧎‍♂️💀

So now I’m mentally rewriting my entire personality like:
“I LOVE CORNELL 🥺❤️ I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ANY OTHER SCHOOL IN MY LIFE 🙏 I WILL ENROLL IMMEDIATELY NO QUESTIONS ASKED 📜✍️”

ANYWAY if anyone knows how to give “strong applicant but also zero free will and fully committed” energy pls share 🤞😵‍💫

if every harvard admit applied to cornell and they accepted

#

theyd p much get nobody attending

loud solstice
#

how many people are harvard admits every year 💀

#

cmon lets use our brains lil bro

loud solstice
#

ok so what is the cornell yield rate

brave abyss
loud solstice
#

like 60% ish?

clever ivy
#

around 60-62%

brave abyss
#

and it's for reasons entirely outside of yield

clever ivy
loud solstice
#

even IF every harvard admit got into cornell and went to harvard, that would not be enough to put a dent in cornell's yield rate

clever ivy
#

im not hating on cornell btw

#

its a t10-15

brave abyss
#

sob i just think this whole conversation is really funny

clever ivy

obv cornell admits like 3k

#

im down to livestream on ivy day

i also used to be extremely college rotted so seeing you be so entirely fixated on this is really amusing
