they might take cues from princeton idk

MIT doesnt have an REA

Yea it isn’t
whole fog
they might take cues from princeton idk
arent decisions mostly finalized by now

i have very low hopes for getting in RD but still trying an application
because MIT is notoriously random
tame coral
arent decisions mostly finalized by now
should be?
whole fog
hm would colleges actually try to coordinate decisions w each other
tame coral
idk they might drop a few people they were on the fence about
flint chasm
Princeton REA rejected ppl with 4.0s, 1550+ SATs, and crazy ECs this yr
they rejected a pretty cracked person from my school
median sluice
i got rejected from princeton should have EA’d here smh
yeah what happened with princeton reas?
so many people got rejected who i felt like at least should have been deferred
including a person i know who has the craziest physics spike of all time

Is VEX or FTC/FRC robotics worlds have any real value?
It really depends but a team event can only mean so much
But nobody goes off to worlds just for college apps lol

Yeah fs just wondering how they might see it
One of my essays mentioned how worlds wasn’t even the best part of robotics lol

Hate those r/MITadmissions guys
I doubt MIT has the time to verify everything so
Unless it’s something huge or something that sounds fake
They prob aren’t gonna call and verify for most things
storm onyx
my top EC is smn they'd prolly want to verify (international sports competition) and you can't just look it up
so idk

my top EC is smn they'd prolly want to verify (international sports competition)...

in the grand scheme of things
covert ridge

wow

stanford moment tbh

lwk a lot of startups (esp silicon valley) are willing to take people who can do shit

i'd be going to vc dinners again and stuff
and it's kinda cool to get to eat food for free
covert ridge

lowkey i am so glad i am away from the bay area rn
me trying to flee the bay belike:

but also kinda dystopian
covert ridge
big vc is listening

and i kinda hate startups

that's fair
serene crescent
even though i'll probably end up at one again 💀
covert ridge
mit is lowk so weird
storm onyx
lowk the bay is so cooked in terms of work culture and also just existance culture
serene crescent
yes
storm onyx
i swear people find a way to make everything toxic
serene crescent
mit is lowk so weird
it is but it's /pos for me
covert ridge
ohhh
serene crescent
it doesn't have the performative undertone the bay has
serene crescent
nor the like "you have to be hustling" culture the bay has

you can do genuinely cool things and be labelled as an idiot for not being some 10x startup founder with millions in revenue or whatever

it's like you have to be revolutionizing the world or getting rich to have any worth in the bay

oh and don't get me started on whatever the fuck uc berkeley is
its like all the toxicity in the bay area condensed in one spot
next urchin
its like all the toxicity in the bay area condensed in one spot
really?

bro Cal is like the rattiest of rat races
serene crescent
cal sounds so cutthroat
storm onyx
cal eecs is literally a death wish
serene crescent
i fear i'm not cut out for that
storm onyx
i know too many people who have been scarred by that shit
next urchin
what is eecs
storm onyx
cause you essentially have an overcrowded major with too little oppurtunities
covert ridge
what is eecs
electrical engineering and computer science
next urchin
cs in bay area 😭 😭 💔
storm onyx
https://tenor.com/view/big-fish-fat-fish-eat-fish-bite-aquarium-gif-15446636
average cal student when they see someone who's doing about ok
covert ridge
literally
next urchin
is MIT super cutthroat or competitive
next urchin
oh fr?
storm onyx
is MIT super cutthroat or competitive
i've heard it's not which the top reason I applied to mit 😭
covert ridge
i take it for granted 💀
like there's so many people willing to help or work together
storm onyx
like where the hell do you find a school with insane oppurtunities and collaborative environment
its legit like just mit and caltech
covert ridge
cuz you lowk have to work together
and the ppl here have the cognitive abilities to understand what goes around comes around 💀
next urchin
thats dope
whats your major
covert ridge
yeah
storm onyx
lowk i was debating between 6-3 and 6-4 yeah
covert ridge
mhm
storm onyx
i could've written something compelling for either but liked my 6-4 response more
next urchin
it honestly doesnt matter
they don't admit by major right
storm onyx
they don't admit by major right
nah but on the app they want you to talk abt an area of interest
covert ridge
half of the school is course 6
storm onyx
which is totally non binding but
storm onyx
half of the school is course 6
lmao
next urchin
which is totally non binding but
im assuming they factor that into the decision?
storm onyx
im assuming they factor that into the decision?
i'm p sure they care more about your interest in that subject
rather than the very subject you chose
covert ridge
im assuming they factor that into the decision?
uhhh, it's not clear but they're just curious what you're actually interested in
storm onyx
now ofc idt they're admitting an entire class of 6-3/6-4 but
next urchin
oh ok
median sluice
like there's so many people willing to help or work together
definitely one of the top reasons i wanna go to mit
go to a super cutthroat school where it feels like you have to let go of all integrity to get ahead 😭
storm onyx
the admissions blog finds a way to make a really compelling argument to convince people to go to mit
even though i feel like they don't even need to
median sluice
i think the blogs make mit seem more "different"?
storm onyx

stanford
median sluice
it kind of removes the "elitist" stereotype that a lot of people have about top schools like ivies and stuff
storm onyx
lowk mit is prolly the least elitist top school
median sluice
~~stanford~~
funnily enough i did ed columbia at the same time which is also known for being cutthroat so idk 💀
different appeals ig
storm onyx
but i feel like the blogs have also spoiled me because now my criteria for selecting schools has been constrained
cause lowk i didn't realise collaborative environments even exist in college 💀
median sluice
well i feel like a lot of the cutthroatness is overplayed at these top colleges
like yes there are clubs with a <1% acceptance rate at cal but
viral elbow
AP Lit is hell bro
median sluice
i know dozens of friends at cal that are just living their best life cause they don't really care about that stuff
storm onyx
and coming from a high school where people regularly sabatoge each other for an advantage, I do not want ts all over again

i know dozens of friends at cal that are just living their best life cause they ...
I lowk don't have a single friend who's happy at cal (all eecs students)
storm onyx

ah ok
i ask cause a lot of people still think cs is l&s
even though they made a seperate college for it now 💀
median sluice
and coming from a high school where people regularly sabatoge each other for an ...
yeah that's true socal competetive public is brutal
median sluice
i can't wait for the time when my earlies come out and everybody is asking if i got in
every top person knows everything about each other 😭
the best thing is that there's not that much gatekeeping proportionally to other schools in socal
which is a good thing ig

the memories I associate with the bay are 99% negative
median sluice

research is like 99% bs
trust me as somebody with research
storm onyx
its not even about that
storm onyx
its that people would go out of their way to shittalk me for no benefit of their own
like why
median sluice
¯_(ツ)_/¯
i used to get caught in that cycle but
ultimately it's just a lot of insecurities
a lot of cycles of ESPECIALLY asian parents with kids that feel the desire to seek external validation
cause them to project their insecurities onto others and put others down to lift themselves up
storm onyx
and lowk i'm also just overall fuckd for admissions cause no shot my profile is that competitive in the context of the school
median sluice
and lowk i'm also just overall fuckd for admissions cause no shot my profile is ...
i mean i think honestly? that doesn't really matter
as long as you fill fulfilled by what you did at high school
then you are good for college
storm onyx
lowk this app process has to be 10/10 worst events of my life so far 💀 i've managed to be beaten into just not liking how i spent my entire hs

the top 5% at your state flagship has honestly about the same chance as the top 90% at a top school

well i've seen a lot of "grinder" applications get tossed into the trash during app cycle and seen a lot of more "do what you like" applications accepted into top schools
certainly if you're smart and hard working
you have a chance
storm onyx
well i've seen a lot of "grinder" applications get tossed into the trash during ...
i've never seen this trend play out from bay area tho
all the bay area admits are lwk the grinders
wet light
did you lie about ecs 😭
No I’m worried if I didn’t get one that means they aren’t considering me seriously cause they didn’t care enough to ask
median sluice
i've never seen this trend play out from bay area tho
hmm well i think honestly something that i should have learned a long time ago
sometimes you should just stop worrying about like
really just your "chances" overall
storm onyx
i feel as if its too easy to preach the whole "apply sideways" thing without realising that sometimes that dosen't really help
median sluice
getting caught up in trying to reverse engineer the admissions process is kinda pointless
median sluice
i feel as if its too easy to preach the whole "apply sideways" thing without rea...
yeah it doesn't i feel like the apply sideways thing is two faceted
on one hand it is true
on the other hand it encourages more applications than ever before
storm onyx
it also somewhat hurts that academics lwk mean nothing
like you can work your ass off for good grades and then get told that it actually won't really help you
median sluice
hmm from what i've gained as an insight i think good grades doesn't really mean like how to say
it's incredibly unfair to admit somebody that got 100 in physics C over somebody that got a 98
one bad day is all it takes
that's why the GPA system exists
storm onyx
sure but like 4.0 1600 means nothing
storm onyx
i mean for like t30 it literally does nothing
and in cali even for uc's its not enough
median sluice
like you can work your ass off for good grades and then get told that it actuall...
but also i see a lot of people with amazing ecs and awards get rejected with subpar grades
even just one or two B's, especially in my school, get you rejected
storm onyx
and the CSU weighted gpa thing is so fucked that my gpa decreased cause i took too many weighted classes 😭
next urchin
even just one or two B's, especially in my school, get you rejected
dont say ts bro 💔
storm onyx
so i'm totally getting rejected from CSUs
median sluice
i think it's more a thing of they don't want people who "worked their ass off"
median sluice
dont say ts bro 💔
no it's unique to my school
next urchin
ah ok
median sluice
because we have a really weird gpa system
and my school is REALLy competetive
cause one B lands you outside top 10% of class rank
next urchin
wtf
storm onyx
cause one B lands you outside top 10% of class rank
isn't this normal?
median sluice
not really but for my school it's like
next urchin
isn't this normal?
i have a 3.5 gpa and am top 10% i wouldnt say so
median sluice
it's fucked over a good amount of applciations
cause our class rank is only based on unweighted
and an A- still counts as a 4.0
storm onyx
all A's with 5 weighted classes is like the cutoff for us for top 10%
median sluice
and we have some VERY grade infalted classes and some VERY grade deflated classes
storm onyx
unless you took like 20 cc courses you won't get valedictorian
next urchin
in my school u just have to do all ur assingments on time and youll be top 10% deadass 😭
median sluice
for example in my physics C class only 4 people in my entire class ended with an A
storm onyx
our "valedictorian" has 35 cc courses on their transcript
next urchin
our "valedictorian" has 35 cc courses on their transcript
wtf isn't 20 enough for associates?
storm onyx
its mostly bs but inflated their gpa hella
storm onyx
wtf isn't 20 enough for associates?
they took way more than needed
median sluice
unless you took like 20 cc courses you won't get valedictorian
we have anywhere from 15-30 valedictorians 😭
prob more if people didn't give up second semester senior year
next urchin
35 is acc insane what
median sluice
oh damn that's really unfortunate
i feel horrible for that
there needs ot be greater resources for help and guidance during this college app time
so many people get incredibly stressed over this stuff
median sluice
yeah i mean i worked with a couple bay area kids from like
harker, monta vista

they don't seem like real people like oml they are crazy 😭

same
storm onyx
don't get me wrong but I feel like in the bay its impossible to stand out without already having a leg up or having people who can guide you, but if you don't you have nothing to show for it
its not any income gap can explain a difference in oppurtunities
its more about "do you have the knowledge on how to game the system"
median sluice
that's true there are already some counselors that are offering advice on how to get into a top college from fricking
6th grade 😭
wet light
Yeah, ik fs if I was in the Bay Area I wouldn’t have had any chance at these top schools cause of the competitiveness in high school
wet light
6th grade 😭
Holy cooked
storm onyx
its insane
median sluice
its more about "do you have the knowledge on how to game the system"
these days though i think that
a lot of these traditional "gaming the system" ways are not that effective anymore
PARTICULARLY research and some competitions
storm onyx

a lot of competition reputations are sort of ruined cause of cheating scandals

if there weren't fucking cheaters i would've made it

A student is considered a resident for admission purposes if he or she can answer yes to any of the following questions:
Have you attended high school in California for at least three years during grades 9-12 and will graduate or have graduated from a California high school?
Have you lived in California for the last 12 months?
If you're under 18, does your parent or legal guardian live in California?
Is your parent, legal guardian, spouse or registered domestic partner an employee of the University of California or a UC-affiliated national laboratory?Non-immigrants (students on a foreign/non-immigrant visa) are not eligible for California resident status for admission purposes.
the last line is n/a because protected person dosen't confer any immigrant status
its neither immigrant nor non-immigrant
