LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[trim cosmos]

It’s the statue of Orpheus in Baltimore

[spark willow]

So did you have any patience waiting for QB?

[trim cosmos]

I was eating Panera and this was my view at the bench

[trim cosmos]

[humble sphinx]

bro

im singin the same shi

same stim

esdeeeeeeeee

[fringe coral]

Yay

[slender wadi]

this is so stressful ong

[fringe coral]

Finally got this shitty announcement

[slender wadi]

do u guys know if its true stanford prefers "special interest" applcations in rea? as in humanites/rarer majors

ive heard this quite a bit but not sure

js like yale prefers compsci/stem bc they more humanites focused overall in rea

[shut estuary]

eh

[shut estuary]

also eh

[stuck hawk]

kurtgodel5 got banned 💀

[humble sphinx]

why

[stuck hawk]

what did bro do

[humble sphinx]

kurt was calm

[trim cosmos]

Stanford, and every other college, prefers passionate students in whatever subject they may be passionate about

[stuck hawk]

shi is oppression

[trim cosmos]

There's a reason why these schools don't admit by major

[stuck hawk]

they're silencing my boy

[humble sphinx]

on bro

[verbal totem]

like 90% of students change majors

[shut estuary]

real and true

[grizzled basin]

mighta sent something crazy that got flagged efore he could send it

ive had a couple messages flagged for mispelling sand stuff that accidentally spelled improper words so i bet if it was bad they probably just nuked him

[shut estuary]

was it portal astro

[grizzled basin]

oh yeah might be someone was asking about it

and it's technically against rules

[spare turtle]

what did kurt do?

O, Stanford tree, o, Stanford tree Thy decision date is so unchanging O, Stanford tree, o, Stanford tree Thy admissions page is so unchanging Not only refreshing when summer's here But also when it's cold and drear O, Stanford tree, o, Stanford tree Just let me in please

O, Stanford tree, o, Stanford tree Such pleasure could you bring me O, Christmas tree, o, Christmas tree If I were to see red confetti For every year this REA drop Brings to us such joy and glee O, Stanford tree, o, Stanford tree Such anxiety do you bring me

[thin glen]

they dont even consider ur major

[spare steppe]

imma be chopping down this tree on friday dw 😭

[spare steppe]

rlly? from a reddit post of someone reviewing their stanford FERPA file, although this was from 5 yrs ago

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/iipnxi/from_a_stanford_student_how_stanford_rates_your/

[thin glen]

sorry i meant they dont admit by major like we can only have 300 cs majors

[spare steppe]

i think their engineerng gender ratio is still like 40/60 tho which isn't super great ☹️ https://www.ivycoach.com/the-ivy-coach-blog/college-admissions/gender-disparity-engineering-departments/

mit having 50/50 is crazy tho

[shut estuary]

because mit is aura

[rare obsidian]

lol our school almost never gets male mit admits

[verbal totem]

my school has sent one person ever to mit

[rare obsidian]

yearly since like 2017 weve had 1 or 2 females get in

[verbal totem]

we have sent 4 to t20s over the past 4 yrs

lowkey im probably cooked

[rare obsidian]

oof

bro our class of 22 alone had like

20-30 ppl go to a crazy school

[verbal totem]

but im also a rural/small school so like

ig that tracks

[spare steppe]

my school hasn't ever sent anyone to mit, caltech, or stanford 😭

[pine plaza]

lowk same

we usually send our top 10 to good lacs in the northeast but we’ve had 2 people get into cornell in the past 4 years and one guy got into uchicago with double legacy

[spark willow]

our school had no t40

💀 for their entire life

[north quarry]

well I feel like it’s cause ur a intl right

prolly different

[verbal totem]

and ur from ny right

[spark willow]

yea but

[spare steppe]

yeah im an intl asian lol... a2engineering... over-represented ahh 😭

[spark willow]

still, its an US curriculum school

[verbal totem]

[spare steppe]

[verbal totem]

[spare steppe]

[buoyant fractal]

Smart men

[spare steppe]

[pine plaza]

[verbal totem]

[spark willow]

[verbal totem]

[thin glen]

[verbal totem]

ill put ur name in my healing crystal circle

stanford doesnt rlly consider majors

supposedly

[mental sundial]

?????

[upbeat dune]

youre not supposed to ask for it anywhere including dms

[burnt light]

Shii

[humble sphinx]

is east coast brown startup founder way too popular of a applicant type

That is applying

[steady dagger]

it really is nice

[humble sphinx]

dude im looking at the way i worded my ECs

I feel so cooked

[charred wind]

SAMEEEE

[humble sphinx]

My first 4 ECs are super strong and rest are so fall off

It just feels so cooked

How do people have so many ECs all year around

[charred wind]

thats normal

[humble sphinx]

did u REA

[charred wind]

yes

[charred wind]

im so cooked bro

[humble sphinx]

i dmed u

[north quarry]

they look at the major and see how ur app ties into it but you get admitted as undecl

to the whole uni

[trim cosmos]

Yea my friend was a national NHD winner and got into and goes to Penn now

[elder mason]

i just realized they have a low acceptance rate… 😭

[pliant atlas]

They all ai b2b saas founders build sexy and you’ll be fine

[pliant atlas]

You of all people are NOT cooked 😭

[humble sphinx]

they turn into that shi bro

after they get in

[humble sphinx]

brodie did u see ur application....

[pliant atlas]

My application reads like a cfackhead it doesn’t matter 😭

[pliant atlas]

sf pmo bruh 😭

we gotta get more high schoolers in hardtech or deep tech

[humble sphinx]

true

[trim cosmos]

Science research shit and good rigor and ACT

[winter mural]

TWO DAYS‼️

[trim cosmos]

No

I forgot what it was

He also went to like a pretty strong feeder school I’d say

[spare turtle]

What lmao

[pliant atlas]

It’s just unhinged 😭😭😭

and prob gonna look fake to college aos

which sucks but whatever lol

[spare turtle]

Look man Stanford prob gets the most wildest of applicants your prob fine

[pliant atlas]

Hopefully 😭

[shut estuary]

like the girl that got in that wrote about not believing in the moon landing

[north quarry]

diversity of thought

[spare turtle]

Exactly

Theres a million reasons you can get rejected but "sounding fake" is not one of them.

[pliant atlas]

I mean the first landing probably didn’t happen ngl

[north quarry]

ok well that can be a reason tho

[pliant atlas]

Or like lying atleast

[loud scaffold]

how do you know about different sorts of applicants

and what they wrote in their essays?

[pliant atlas]

Was she like the moon doesn’t exist or sm 💀

[shut estuary]

we have our next admit right here

💀

[pliant atlas]

or like just we never got on the moon 😭

[pliant atlas]

I mean USSR was winning the race and US was already behind, so they prob might’ve faked the first one to wjn the space race and then from there actually develop stuff out

and this is coming from an ex Artemis III employee bro like 😭😭

[charred wind]

bruh im probably getting rejected my ps is personal but at the same time it sounds like the average generic shit

[shut estuary]

i hope you wrote this in your application

[loud scaffold]

how do you know about that?

[shut estuary]

in 50,000 applications everybody is generic, therefore nobody is generic

[pliant atlas]

I mean that’s what I think personally lol

[shut estuary]

it's not a dig at you, i'm just laughing about the other girl

[burnt light]

u think oklahoma girl applied to stanford

[pliant atlas]

Oh 😭😭😭😭😭

[shut estuary]

LMFAO

maybe harvard

[charred wind]

like i didnt write abt eye catching stuff like not believing the first moon landing or costco

[shut estuary]

you're fine, i didn't either

evidently my name doesn't say stanford but trust me when i say you will be fine and do well

that's lowk exactly what happened

[pliant atlas]

I said the government sucks in one of my essays for Stanford I think 💀

[charred wind]

manifesting

[pliant atlas]

Just gotta yap bro

[shut estuary]

because it's funnier to assume that it's real, and optimizing for a world with more humor rather than less humor is a way to enjoy the most out of life

[pliant atlas]

it’s aight

[charred wind]

what if ur ao is patriotic

[shut estuary]

im messing with you

real

[charred wind]

what if they r jingoistic

[pliant atlas]

Sucks for them. They need to understand the difference between politics and American dynamism 😭

[charred wind]

thats good tho at least u hv sth that stands out

[shut estuary]

bro mentioned a16z

[pliant atlas]

I mean duh it’s in my ec list as well 😭

[upbeat dune]

JHU

[pliant atlas]

wait ong?

[upbeat dune]

Yes

[pliant atlas]

is that the Strat???

[shut estuary]

a16z is in your ec list? 💀

[upbeat dune]

Dartmouth simp ended up at Yale tho

[pliant atlas]

Aight im kissing my next interviewer

[burnt light]

I mean i kissed my interviewer over zoom

She was a little confused why i was so close to the camera

But it worked out nevertheless

[pliant atlas]

yeah I was a venture partner and did advising and diligence and stuff

[upbeat dune]

[pliant atlas]

[verbal totem]

lets be so for real

[shut estuary]

LMAOOOOOO

[verbal totem]

if ur working in higher education there is a high chance u dont align with a certain ideology

[shut estuary]

working in higher education is very patriotic, to teach is to serve your country

[humble sphinx]

LMFAOOOOOO

[shut estuary]

why is everybody here startupmaxxed

[humble sphinx]

sorry bro that shi was js funny

[pliant atlas]

[north quarry]

[mental maple]

[karmic raven]

[verbal totem]

[spare steppe]

[verbal totem]

[karmic raven]

[spare steppe]

i crammed them as a shot in the dark so i js yolod em to the point theyre incoherent 🥀

[verbal totem]

he was working!! no wonder he be hiking those mountains

[karmic raven]

right? he's such an avid outdoorsman

[north quarry]

like luigi mario or the dude who shot the ceo 💀

[karmic raven]

i don't think he's ever stepped foot in the city

[karmic raven]

the latter

[north quarry]

nah thats lowk crazy

[karmic raven]

it was relevant to my supp

trust

[winter mural]

elite ball knowledge

my favorite man called luigi

[mental maple]

what did oyu all put for that essay prompt what is one event you wished you saw

[winter mural]

i said when justice harlan was the lone dissenter in plessy v ferguson

[mental maple]

i put the great wall of china being built

[karmic raven]

[winter mural]

[mental maple]

Luigi from Super Mario bros?

[karmic raven]

he's the goat

[winter mural]

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-luigi-smash-bros-smash-bros-ultimate-missing-gif-26523330

[mental maple]

WE are getting into Stanford

[winter mural]

YURRRRRRRRRR

[mental maple]

im assuming there was roughly about 55k+ applications

[winter mural]

probably at least 30 thousand

[mental maple]

[winter mural]

😇

[mental maple]

2,067 students got admitted last year

[karmic raven]

for rea, i'd assume the total number of applications is much less, no?

[mental maple]

ya that was total admits

isnt REA legacys, athletes, etc? 😭

[karmic raven]

yes

typically the rea pool would be much more competitive, as it includes legacies and athletes, as well as people who have identified stanford as their top choice

meaning their application is pretty strong

[spare steppe]

wait that's actually so cool!

[mental maple]

Im scared cuz 3% is super super low

Im hoping the essays carry

[spare steppe]

same here lol but we ball

[spare steppe]

do u wanna trade essays for fun? lke did u alr apply lol

[mental maple]

ah yes my friend says that all the time lmao

[spare steppe]

cuz my essays are wack

prt sure ppl r js trying not to be mean 😭

[mental maple]

nah

[karmic raven]

yess

[mental maple]

I didnt share my essays 💀 i winge dit

[spare steppe]

r u applying aerospace too? 🤩

[mental maple]

im doing economics

[upbeat dune]

We have #1400588776597753986

[spare steppe]

it's funny cuz idt the aerospace major at stanford has the word "engineering" on it

but it is aerospace engineering i think (?)

[mental maple]

Is economics compeititve?

[mental maple]

Ohh I was considering choosing that but last minute switched it

[spare steppe]

isn't stanford a T3 econ school 😭

[mental maple]

I think

#1 ya im cooked

its tied with other schools

Did anyone have any dreams about being accepted somewhere at least?

[spare steppe]

nah my dreams were me getting rejected from all my unis 😭

[mental maple]

ohh damn 😭 i had a dream i got accepted and it was quite unexpected. it was also the only dream i had about an acceptance and was pretty vivid

[spare steppe]

hope it becomes reality for u!! gl 🍀

[mental maple]

same to you im nervous but i did plentiful of safeties

i didnt realize decisions come out friday

[winter mural]

i had a dream where it was nighttime and i was apparently with a group of people on campus at stanford and they were yelling and pushing fences over and stuff

im just gonna go ahead and interpret that positively

[gray peak]

true

[winter mural]

fr

ts HAS to be a sign of admission

[spark willow]

lydi

can i ask u some math related question? 😭

[gray peak]

administrative or technical?

this would not be the best place (and I would probably not be the best person) to answer technical math questions over text

[spark willow]

ok

[upbeat dune]

youre getting deferred and then accepted rd

the fence represents the barrier stanford will put up between you and them on friday

and the people yelling represents the aos who will fight for you during rd to push those fences down and let you in

[misty mortar]

Praying for a déjà vu

[spark willow]

wait

is this on campus, or nah

[spark willow]

nah istg

i was fkin stupid 🥀 😭

i finally understood ts after 2h 💀

mb lydi

[winter mural]

BRO THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING HOLY

[north quarry]

would have to be one of the more prestigious Stanford summer programs like sumac or simr

probably helps a lil

shows interest

[spark willow]

then ig it will help

a bit.

wdym?

[gray peak]

pretty good program, won't help all that much but it's a good learning experience

[spark willow]

yea i just saw the edited ver lmao

[gray peak]

summer session is useful

if you get admitted you can transfer credits over

[north quarry]

I need to leave this server to detox myself before the decision release

my fate is probably already sitting in the portal waiting to be updated 💀

[spark willow]

if i get in

ill get sth for lydi and supneb

from Korea. or China

[north quarry]

well like ur whole thing is Stanford

so ur probably going to get in

[spark willow]

ig

[spark willow]

i mean....

i didnt really expected it to be like this

i didnt really had a dream college until end of Jr year

i applied to stanford summer programs because it was "Stanford"

+it was the first thing that appeared in google when i searched university summer program

and at the end, i didnt expected something like this since i had no idea about how university apps work, my apps were somehow all connected

so ig it was a solid app

[north quarry]

bros making the stars align

[winter mural]

fr

[loud scaffold]

what's his application like?

[spark willow]

like

[spark willow]

this

[loud scaffold]

you tell me

[spark willow]

tl;dr
i didnt do anything crazy

• my stats were avg stanny applicant (or even below)
  but i just did wt i like
  and it, somehow, all connected at the end

[loud scaffold]

connected?

[spark willow]

yea

[loud scaffold]

may i know how?

[spark willow]

like... my ecs, and basically wt i did build up like a triangle

if ykwim

[loud scaffold]

i do

have you mentioned them in this chat

[spark willow]

nah

[loud scaffold]

really curious how that might look like

[spark willow]

i dont really know if i got skills to connect bs to my major, or it had strong correlation in between

but the thing is, i just did wt i like (and most of the times, they seem to have 0 correlation with my major), but at the end, they were all connected

[charred wind]

Dw guys yall are getting in!!!

[spark willow]

but idk if this is real connection, or random connection. I feel like it is real, but i've spent 3month writing my personal statement and 8 supps, and i did insane amount of reflection (trying to connect everything i did). So, it might be well wrapped bs (highly possible), or legit connections.

[loud scaffold]

3 fucking months?

[spark willow]

yea

[loud scaffold]

bro i am starting supplementals of 9 colleges now, am i done for?

[spark willow]

i lit had like 67 drafts

[spark willow]

uh.... idk.. mb not

[loud scaffold]

no fucking way

[spark willow]

stanford sups were insane... they basically tell u to write ur whole life

i didnt even need "additional info" section

so... stannys smart asf ig.

[grizzled basin]

I finizhed with ~90 total pgs by thr time im done 🫠

Tbf im a writer so im rather used to rewriting things a billion times

[spark willow]

id say my ECs were random asf just like stanny supps, but at the end, they were all related (just like stanny supps).

[spark willow]

im CS major

and i hate writing 💀

[loud scaffold]

damn

[grizzled basin]

Yeah this process is rather favored to wtiters and people used to writing

[spark willow]

i had to challenge myself and convince myself to fkin learn English 💀

[loud scaffold]

but essays matter alot right?

[spark willow]

and took AP Lang 💀 and im getting cooked 💀

[spark willow]

ofc.

[loud scaffold]

content of what you have written matters or execution

if you would have to say a % distribution

[grizzled basin]

85% content 15% execution

But like i think execution enhances an essay a lot yk

Like u can make really trivial things seem rather powerful yk

[spark willow]

um... colleges like execution more than ur future plans

so they're both important, but i cannot really generalize this for every other unis (since they all value different thing)

[grizzled basin]

Like writing abt losing a family member or extreme challenges is very strong contentwise inherently but if u write really well uou can put together a strong essay

[grizzled basin]

Im also like

In the same class as u so take my advice with a vrain of salt

[spark willow]

and this is where most ppl make mistakes 💀
if u dont write it well. its cliche asf

write it well is the whole point

[grizzled basin]

Which id also agree

idk im having delusions of grandeur thinking abt tmr night

[loud scaffold]

stanford rea tom?

[grizzled basin]

Yupyup

[spark willow]

nah

wait wt

oh sht. yea. time difference lmao

[grizzled basin]

Prolly timezone

About 36 hrs from now

[spark willow]

yea

[loud scaffold]

where you from?

[spark willow]

Korea

and yes, Asian apps are cliche asf

so if u dont write it well, ur cooked

[loud scaffold]

im from india, in what way?

[grizzled basin]

Pov full east asian applying for stem

[spark willow]

[spark willow]

AOs have seen every single kind of different types of apps (and this is legit the case)

so, u should stand out

[loud scaffold]

what should i do

im going for rd

[spark willow]

im not saying stand out in terms of stats, if u know how competitive india is 💀
they fkin do any sht

[loud scaffold]

all of them are super cracked

[spark willow]

being authentic is just baseline ig.

[spark willow]

and this is the whole point.

[grizzled basin]

The people you are asking have yet to even hear their decisions we have no valid advice to give 💀

[spark willow]

lwk

tbh, wait 2 more days.

[loud scaffold]

i mean its always better to ask right

[spark willow]

wt if we get rejected 💀

[grizzled basin]

If i get in i'll give advice but im aboutta be fried

[loud scaffold]

you guys know a lot more and are exposed to a lot more apps news and stuff

why are you even saying youll get rejected

[grizzled basin]

Idek abt that im like mega susceptible to false info

[loud scaffold]

stay positive till then

[spark willow]

the only advice i can give u rn is "what makes u different from all other insane indians (or even other applicants around the world)?"

[grizzled basin]

nuh uh cuz then if i get rejected i'll be like oh i expected that wtv

[spark willow]

just think about ts

[spark willow]

• read some examples supps

just google them

[dire sapphire]

lol im a writer but i hate writing 😃

gl all yall stannys

[loud scaffold]

how?

[grizzled basin]

Very real

[loud scaffold]

like 'stanford supplemental examples' or something?

[spark willow]

yea

[loud scaffold]

but there are very few of them in terms of examples i only see that college essay guy has some examples

[spark willow]

i mean... the essay examples from this guy is alr

but example is example. Just read and see how u should write, not wt u have to write.

but in this case college essay guy isnt a great example since this guy lit ignores the prompt

just see how its written, like, is it formal? (roommate sups were free form ig). is using bullet point fine? (like listing 5 things u like, or even how did u spent last 2 summers and roommate essay)

[spare steppe]

it's so hard to find successful stanford essays 😭 like all the ones on the internet r from at least 5 yrs ago bruh 🥀

[spark willow]

fr though

[spare steppe]

hf applying rd tho! the stanny essays r, in hindsight, pretty fun to write :D

[spark willow]

most of them are og stanny supps

[spark willow]

its pure pain 🥀

[spare steppe]

although im sure ill get rejected and dont have my hopes up at all, the stanny supps r fun if u take the time to appreciate them lol

[spark willow]

it wasnt fun at all (while writing)

it was fun reading them (after writing)

[spare steppe]

or maybe it's bc i was cramming so js wrote whatever first came to my mind and stuck with it... 😭

[charred wind]

thats bad omen

u gotta touch wood rn

[spare steppe]

im right at my piano bruh

[charred wind]

touch the ivory keys

[spare steppe]

i have my knee against the piano... does ts count 😭

[charred wind]

play la campanella blindfolded

[spare steppe]

bruh i love sitting with my knee/shin propped up against the front of my piano. ts might be sacrilegious and terrible for my piano but it's so comfu 😭

[charred wind]

bruh i lowkey gave up on piano

[spare steppe]

esp when im practicing one passage over and over

[charred wind]

i didnt go for arsm diploma

[charred wind]

bruhhh

[spare steppe]

i can't play la campanella, but honestly sometimes practicing with a blindfold is suuuper fun on the piano omg

i js end up laughing to myself half the time 😭

[charred wind]

idk why but personally i lovr playing pieces one whole octave lower

idk why but sometimes it hits different

[spare steppe]

you psychopath!!

[charred wind]

[spare steppe]

i love my piano sm bruh it sounds so nice

like it's not a steinway obv but 😭

ts grew on me

[charred wind]

lol

i dont wanna touch oily keys

[spare steppe]

the problem is i have hella sweat hands 😭

[charred wind]

SAME lol

[spare steppe]

so when im practicing for a long time i js have to go wash my hands every once in a while

😭😭😭

[charred wind]

my hands are small too 😭

[spare steppe]

i didn't do abrsm either lol, my teacher's goated tho n i'm working thru some pieces i rlly love so there's that :D

[charred wind]

we are charlie kirk instrumental

[timid sedge]

So real for that

[charred wind]

im telling u

it sounds more grandeur

[timid sedge]

Yeahh

[timid sedge]

It sounds amazing when you want to make the chorus of a song sound bigger

[charred wind]

YES

[charred wind]

imagine making mark rober's automated piano and putting it in the maker portfolio

[loud scaffold]

So where should I find Examples?

[spark willow]

Big green has its own consulting service

[trim cosmos]

The college essay guy’s Stanford example essays are not very good imo

[spark willow]

And essays on their website is genuinely really good

[spark willow]

Yea… it doesn’t follow the prompt 💀

[trim cosmos]

The roommate essay is so weird

[spark willow]

Yea💀

But personal statement examples were good ig

For roommate essay, I used the example from US news(college vine? Or sth. I forgot)

It’s so cringe, but ig that’s how u write ts

[fringe coral]

I followed the example from the college essay guy and moved some myself and wrote it.
Ts feels so generic though. Is it only of mine?

[loud scaffold]

What does that mean? So should I contact him?

[spark willow]

No

Like. Go to his website

https://www.biggreencollegeprep.com/

Read some essays here

The MIT essays lwk fire

[loud scaffold]

you mean here?

oh, the free help section?

[earnest bronze]

this can't be true imo

js bias bc there's so many in these types of subreddits

like overall I doubt there r that many ppl founding startups let alone REAing stanford

[timid sedge]

went afk but yess#

[humble sphinx]

Oh okay good

[pliant atlas]

you’ll be surprised. Startups are the new non profit

because Stanford apparently LOVES entrepreneurship

So people just make some fuckass “innovation” and run with that

Obv there are outliers and folks that actually build really cool stuff but the bulk of startups are just LARP

[loud scaffold]

so a revenue generating startup is a cliche for stanford?

[humble sphinx]

i have metrics tho

[pliant atlas]

Yeah you’re chilling and good

[humble sphinx]

this wasnt for college like i wasnt thinkingabt college

until recently

[pliant atlas]

yeah then it’s like actually worth it then 😭

[humble sphinx]

bet bet

[humble sphinx]

@gray peak fact check

[pliant atlas]

If it’s an AI b2b SaaS tinder for dogs then Fuh nah

[pliant atlas]

dude they do they have like ASES and whatever

[earnest bronze]

idk i disagree i feel like your sample size is VERY small here. it's hard to get startups off the ground to receive like thousands of dollars worth of contracts and also it depends on the type of startups

[humble sphinx]

i guess im doing edtech tho

[earnest bronze]

yea a lot of startups i've seen usually partner w schools and receive money from school districts

[humble sphinx]

yeah we had 8 paying schools

so it was p big in that sense

and 3k+ paying students

[earnest bronze]

i think ur worrying too much tho like if u get rejected it won't be because they think ur a generic ai b2b saas person like i feel like our sample size is small and everyone has a diff story they're not rejecting off that alone

[humble sphinx]

yea gotchu

i did other financial literacy advocation stuff too

[earnest bronze]

at the end of the day it's just whether they find u compelling enough to present u to commitee which is just like a personality/fit typa thing

[gray peak]

nope

[humble sphinx]

maybe it works out

[humble sphinx]

ty for fact check

[gray peak]

it's just like any other EC and will not give too much of a benefit

[pliant atlas]

Aren’t they just in general more like startup coded?

[gray peak]

that's after u get in not before u get in

[pliant atlas]

Not for Ecs and what plays more weight like general campus vibe

[pliant atlas]

Yea that’s what I meant

[pliant atlas]

Dude you’re chilling as I said you have good ecs and everything 😭😭😭

[pliant atlas]

That is also true

But I’ll be surprised if they don’t eye roll if they seen like a 50tj application building this exact same generic thing with fake traction

[north quarry]

tf you worried about

[trim cosmos]

The former California FBLA state president is a good friend of mine and he got rejected from Stanford REA fyi

[north quarry]

thanks for instilling confidence in us 💀

[pliant atlas]

I specified later and was talking about the campus vibe 😭😭😭

[north quarry]

hearing about someone 10x better than me get rejected it’s cooked

[pliant atlas]

for the admission room everything is a crapshot doesn’t matter what you do

[trim cosmos]

Goes to Wharton now

Never give up

[trim cosmos]

Yea just saw

But even then if they liked “entrepreneurship” they would’ve factored that into your admissions decision too

Which is obviously not the case

Stanford is just in the perfect location to be an “entrepreneur”

[pliant atlas]

Isn’t Berkeley lwk better 💀

Location wise

[trim cosmos]

If startup = entrepreneur then no

[reef flower]

lowkey ones too north and the others too south of sf

[pliant atlas]

fuck it we going for university of SF

[reef flower]

yessir

actually I lied Palo Alto too fucking rich for ppl to host startup comps and hackathons there

[gray peak]

yah i got roped into a startup in my second week LMFAO

[reef flower]

berkeley is better

[gray peak]

berkeley hackathon isn't even at berkeleyt

[reef flower]

frl?

[gray peak]

it's in sf 💀

[reef flower]

im just saying location wise there may be more aws buildings or something than in palo alto

[gray peak]

palo alto is pretty good

[steady dagger]

we <3 palo alto

[reef flower]

my bad fam

[gray peak]

bro they marked our 106b finals already wtf

i think i'm getting a raw A

[north quarry]

biggest lie

[reef flower]

lydi you a freshman at stanford?

[gray peak]

yah

[reef flower]

do you know any brazilians there

[gray peak]

not personally but i bet there's a few

[reef flower]

fuck it we ball

whats your major

[steady dagger]

me too

[pliant atlas]

Bros about to ask for their LinkedIn’s 💀

[steady dagger]

depends on what a check plus means

[gray peak]

math for now

[reef flower]

im getting accepted tmrw trust

needa prepare the friendships

[gray peak]

did ur huffman get marked yet

cuz mine didnt 💀

[trim cosmos]

My friend told me to take 106 and it fulfills my req for methods

I heard it’s hella grade inflated which is good

[pliant atlas]

Friends with benefits 💀💀

[gray peak]

not during autumn

[reef flower]

😉

[steady dagger]

mine got graded

[trim cosmos]

Well damn

[gray peak]

final median was 89/100

[trim cosmos]

Winter here we come then

[reef flower]

ig stanford is more of an abg uni

[steady dagger]

but also my sl lowk just gives you a check plus if it vaguely works

[gray peak]

(though it was really easy)

[steady dagger]

i think i failed the secret tests they have for one of the assignments and he still gave me a check plus for functionality

[gray peak]

💀

[reef flower]

facts or cap lydi?

[gray peak]

nah we're pretty diverse

[pliant atlas]

it’s wraps @reef flower we going to ucla

[steady dagger]

bro i think math 51 got tired of people doing well on the tests and cooked up a cooked final to bring the grades down

[reef flower]

hy

[pliant atlas]

abgs >>

[reef flower]

Ik theres tons of brazilians in NYU

[pliant atlas]

why 😭

they just like the cold or something?

[reef flower]

nah its the school that accepts internationals that pay full

[gray peak]

it was not that bad

[pliant atlas]

fair

[steady dagger]

it was definitely worse than the midterms

[reef flower]

lydi since you in math, how much of your courses are also present in cs?

or symsys

[gray peak]

bro I'm about to fail college101 pray for me

[gray peak]

I'm taking 1 CS course rn

[reef flower]

But do CS ppl take a lot of math courses?

[gray peak]

yea

[reef flower]

i will have a gap year post acceptance to stanford

[steady dagger]

i think it depends

[gray peak]

CS theory and AI are pretty math heavy

[steady dagger]

i know a good amount of cs people that are excited for 51 to be one of their last math courses

[gray peak]

if you're a systems main then I don't see the need to take advanced math

[reef flower]

so i needa catch up on some math

[gray peak]

oh they're in for a good time when they have to do 103

[pliant atlas]

Bros gonna announce getting into Stanford by making a post saying you’re dropping out 😭

[steady dagger]

im actually excited for 103

[gray peak]

it's terrible

[reef flower]

yeah its no fun if youre not dropping outta the startup uni

[gray peak]

my friends doing it rn and it's terrible

[steady dagger]

wait but i heard its easy if you like are awake during the class

[gray peak]

nah they dock most of your marks for phrasing something wrong

[pliant atlas]

Caltech got it nice they can defer their admissions for like infinite amount of time or something 😭

[reef flower]

like lydi if you had a gap year before starting as a freshman would you want to learn anything academic that would immensely facilitate your first year?

[steady dagger]

you can do this at any school as long as you attend the first quarter/sem

[steady dagger]

why do you want to gap year

[trim cosmos]

Which math is that

[steady dagger]

mv calc and linalg

[trim cosmos]

Calc 3?

[pliant atlas]

Huh I didn’t know that cool

[reef flower]

im from the south hemisphere our senior year ends december

[trim cosmos]

Oh okay

[reef flower]

and stanford starts on september of the next year

so its almost a gap year

[steady dagger]

most course materials are online if you want to self study your classes

[gray peak]

does 106b curve downwards

[reef flower]

one thing is to self study the classes you are already gonna take. But maybe there's a better way to study some specific subject that can really boost easiness to pass through a lot of courses

i may be tripping though

[steady dagger]

huh

[steady dagger]

no

[gray peak]

LFGGGG

[steady dagger]

ngl i thought the median was gonna be like a 95 we had literally like triple the time needed for that test

[reef flower]

lydi what messaging platform stanford students use the most? just messenger rlly?

or does like everyone have discord or something

[gray peak]

imessage

[reef flower]

aight

cuz where I live most ppl use whatsapp only

[steady dagger]

my dorm uses whatsapp

[steady dagger]

is this the average govco activity

[reef flower]

aye if theres a tennis group I can be invited to for stanford (non comp) in case i get in lmk

[gray peak]

those exist yeah

[steady dagger]

there's probably club tennis somewhere

[gray peak]

once you get in it's not hard to find

[reef flower]

is there like a physical meeting with admits and AO's after admission?

[pliant atlas]

Aw how sweet. Sledding, say gex mooning and drugs

[reef flower]

for you to get the contacts and stuff

or virtual Idk

[gray peak]

yes

that is admit weekend

[steady dagger]

there are also usually local meetups/zooms for admits from a particular area

[north quarry]

Stanford better let me in or else my mom gonna maul me

[spare turtle]

Lol

[humble sphinx]

So wait

If entrepreneurs are really looked down upon

Then am i not just 100% cooked

[spare turtle]

Who tf said that bro

[humble sphinx]

Idk bro im jsut being delusional

[spare turtle]

Yea stop you'll know in 1 day chill we got this

[humble sphinx]

Yea

[verbal totem]

for the historical event supplemental

how soon is too soon

would 2024 be too soon of a historical event even if it was monumental and related to my career and major

[trim cosmos]

If it was recorded with a camera, I would pick something else

Did you not witness this monumental event?

[verbal totem]

oh well ig i did just not in person

[earnest bronze]

yea I'd choose something you can't really witness per se or with a camera

[shut estuary]

this is why the next great entrepreneurship school will be vanderbilt

[earnest bronze]

hot take as someone who applied stanford rea for their entrepeneurship

every top school has a good startup culture and stanford is so hyped up but it's like the chicken or the egg

[shut estuary]

entrepreneurs are looked down upon because they are by and large out of touch and their incentives don't necessarily align with the direction of humanity e.g. the negative externalities of positive products leave a lingering taste in people's mouths

[elder mason]

bro how do i stop thinking about this i have to study for a test 😢

[shut estuary]

ignore the test, keep thinking

[spark willow]

lwk

[spark willow]

💀

[humble sphinx]

Good explanation

[spark willow]

i have test in like 3h 💀

[earnest bronze]

yea I mean inherently building things for ur own profit is usually not very community-based

[elder mason]

i lowk cant get a c in linear algebra 🙁

[humble sphinx]

Idk why that would matter tho

Like ppl go into quant finance and corp finance and corp software

[spark willow]

i also have ling alg + mult var calc finals 💀

[humble sphinx]

What community impact is corporate usually doing

[verbal totem]

like drop shipping is the complete opposite of community impact

if ur a drop shipper ur a fucking demon

[earnest bronze]

nothing it feels pretty soulless

[humble sphinx]

Same goes w most ppl starting general saas tools

thats why i fw deep tech now

[earnest bronze]

what is deep tech

[humble sphinx]

Like advanced hardware or deep ai

[elder mason]

😓 oh yeahhh i have to take final exams by the end of the semester

[earnest bronze]

what's deep ai **

[humble sphinx]

Well by deep tech i mean solving super hard technical problems

Whether that be humanoids

Brain technology

Advanced defence tech

[shut estuary]

because an individual in quant finance/corp finance does not have a visible personal impact on society at large

[earnest bronze]

icl this sounds hella soulless

[shut estuary]

the thing is an entrepreneur yields an outsized impact on civilization as a singular person

[earnest bronze]

building missiles 💔

[shut estuary]

i'm not saying that's good or bad as a personal perspective, i'm saying some people can perceive that as bad

[earnest bronze]

for anyone who does CS here yall shld look into PL theory its very cool

[humble sphinx]

No like i agree

[earnest bronze]

it's just how prog langs work under the hood basically

[elder mason]

wait thats lowk cool

[humble sphinx]

Doesnt have to be that and plus, defense tech is protecting ur country

[shut estuary]

this is true, the thing is with a product/service/idea it generally has the potential to help society, and a profit incentive for the sake of building something good is not inherently bad. but the negative side effects even from objectively innovative products can cause worry

[earnest bronze]

it's so sick I acc love it

[verbal totem]

or blowing up foreign countries for no reason

[elder mason]

is there like specific classes

[steady dagger]

i dont think people see finance or corp swe as that much different from being a startup bro tbh

[earnest bronze]

every CS curriculum has one or two classes on PL theory. Penn and CMU are filled w them tho

[humble sphinx]

Agreed

[elder mason]

im ngl idt i can get into penn or cmu :(

[humble sphinx]

Thats just perspective

[earnest bronze]

very very cool tho out of everything I've ever learned PL theory is the coolest

[shut estuary]

???? 😭 🙏

[verbal totem]

😭 😭

[humble sphinx]

Like sorry word got cut out

Your perspective

[verbal totem]

i just laughed im sorry

[steady dagger]

😭

[verbal totem]

how is blowing up a foreign country a perspective

[earnest bronze]

your doesn't make it any better 😭

[humble sphinx]

Idt all defense id just blowing up countries

LMAO NO

[timid sedge]

😭

[humble sphinx]

Thats not what i mean

Fuck i should just mute myself

[verbal totem]

💔

[humble sphinx]

My bad chat thats not what i meant 😭😭😭

[timid sedge]

Nooo explain😭😭

[humble sphinx]

No i was saying like defense tech is not blowjing up countries for no reason

And it doesnt have to be hardware

[earnest bronze]

I think like in these types of communities and js w college apps we're all hardwired into thinking that these schools are unattainable but like there will always be someone better than you no matter what u do in life and u js gotta remember that they hv no bearing on u.

like in the sense that never say never bc u dont know what schools r looking for and the college app process is too closed-doors to say never. believe in urself!

[verbal totem]

ok but ultimately ur life is what u make of it

[earnest bronze]

THIS

[elder mason]

thats true, thats why im acc excited to go to college :D

[elder mason]

fair point :( thank you for this lol

[verbal totem]

just do what u love and du will find what ur meant to do

[steady dagger]

college is a very cool time because you actually start to think about what you want to do with your life

and you have the agency to actually bring a lot of those things about

[gray peak]

yo college101 was so chill

[earnest bronze]

and it sounds corny but at the end of the day the only thing ur left with is your name on a gravestone so do what u want and make the most of ur life

[steady dagger]

im an esf chiller i dont mess with the collegians

[humble sphinx]

@shut estuary did u see that podcast with gabriel from open ai on the extraordinary podcast with sigil

[spare turtle]

Depends on what you make bro you can't generalize an entire profession like that.

Thats like saying you hate cooks cuz they can make unhealthy food

[verbal totem]

also btw some of the best professors and people ik didnt go to ivies and yet r some of the coolest and smartest people like EVER

[elder mason]

real 😛

[earnest bronze]

as someone who makes startups I feel like it's just a very cooked field

[humble sphinx]

Well how so

[earnest bronze]

the cluelys of the world outweigh everything else

[humble sphinx]

Cluely 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[verbal totem]

FUCK CLUELY

[humble sphinx]

Son 😭😭😭😭😭

[verbal totem]

FUCK THEM

[earnest bronze]

yea there's startups made for genuine good but they just don't get the traction that the cluelys do b/c the startup culture is that all publicity is good publicity

[humble sphinx]

Wtf are we talking abt ✌️✌️

[steady dagger]

abgs 🥵

[humble sphinx]

Cluely is a marketing company dawg

[elder mason]

what is cluely even doing though ... like all they have is social media traction but their content is really random

[gray peak]

time to do a task harder than finals called cleaning my room

[earnest bronze]

they're a startup 😭 they (had) VC funding

[verbal totem]

lydi do u like stanford

[humble sphinx]

This is a thing????

[gray peak]

it's pretty fine

[spare turtle]

I dont think so its just become more mainstream cuz of the large growth in accelerators like yc and capital so people are forgetting the real mission (build stuff people want) and optimizing for other things (getting into yc, raising millions etc)

[humble sphinx]

Man ik

Im on x

But its a bunch of bs bro

Why are we talking abt cluely

[verbal totem]

i rlly hope i wont be a sore thumb if i get in bc i feel stanford is just tech and science and thats it..

[earnest bronze]

bc it's the epitome of bum startups

[humble sphinx]

Yea

[gray peak]

there's a lot of humanities coded people

[verbal totem]

but its so much more

[humble sphinx]

I agree

I almost thought u were supportive for a sec

[verbal totem]

like nobody in my major 💔

stanford has only like 8 people total in it

[earnest bronze]

lowkey love the humanities/social justice side of stanford even as a stem major

[spare turtle]

No its better that your not stem, much less comp

[humble sphinx]

Me too

Imma minor in philosophy

[verbal totem]

im applying into gender, queer, and feminist studies

[humble sphinx]

are u deadass or js trolling

[spare turtle]

Your in

[verbal totem]

deadass

dont give me none of that gender studies bs

[spare turtle]

Nobody's gonna be applying to that shit if you have ecs that relate to your major your set

[humble sphinx]

Nah i was js genuinely wondering bc people always joke abt it

[spare turtle]

Mb shouldn't have called it shit but you get my point everyone's doing cs bio econ etc

[elder mason]

true!! the college & career counselor at my school graduated from stanford and i think she did sm with public policy specifically w education
and she also took a class on antrhopology lol

[steady dagger]

wait there are definitely a good amount of humanities people here

i do think a lot of them trend towards more general majors like history or english though

[spare turtle]

Yeah

[earnest bronze]

Ik ppl who were cracked af last year and didn't get to their top colleges. Majors and ECs aside you'll b fine with a story that's just who u r imo and like its so clear that its only you who cld write the application you did

[verbal totem]

gender studies is seriously underrated

[steady dagger]

i wanted to take a femgen course winter quarter but i have no units left 😭

[humble sphinx]

I agree

[spare turtle]

Humanities is still v popular its just more room to stand out i think vs the thousandth research, paper, startup, science fair etc

[verbal totem]

im doing queer theory research rn

but thats like not the same as science

[humble sphinx]

@earnest bronze are u in hardware or software

[verbal totem]

science stem isef shit

[earnest bronze]

sw

[humble sphinx]

U on X?

[trim cosmos]

How is ESF

[verbal totem]

i also have a letter of rec from a gender studies professor so do u think that’ll help?

[spare turtle]

Yea i feel colleges are optimizing not just for cracked but a whole bunch of other things so if you dont get in it doesnt mean u weren't cracked enough per se its just luck in the end

[trim cosmos]

I’m considering applying for it but I wanna know how much the work is

[spare turtle]

Yea thats very good, at stanford or a diff uni?

[steady dagger]

its p good

[verbal totem]

diff

[steady dagger]

depends on your esf

[spare turtle]

I mean as always its more what they say not who they are

[steady dagger]

its definitely less work than taking both college and pwr

[spare turtle]

So if its a good rec you should be good

[verbal totem]

idc about prestige

[spare turtle]

What's esf?

[trim cosmos]

That’s good then

Did you have to write something to get in

My friend was talking about how the freshman seminars had essays and I wuz like hell naw

[steady dagger]

esf is lottery

[trim cosmos]

L bro

[steady dagger]

you're probably pretty likely to get in if you choose one of the less popular ones as your first choice

i asked around and so many people put the one i had as my first choice as their last choice

[earnest bronze]

Fuckkk I wanted to do those

The introsems seem rlly cool

[trim cosmos]

This might be the move

My friend is in COLLEGE rn and his PWR is this upcoming quarter

[steady dagger]

college is weird and has finals now

[trim cosmos]

Yea I heard

[steady dagger]

if you can get in 😭

[trim cosmos]

What major are you

[steady dagger]

lowk idt introsems are that worth it

im thinking ee? very unsure though

[trim cosmos]

Oh my friend is also doing EE

But I think he’s being lowkey at Stanny rn

[steady dagger]

who is your friend

[trim cosmos]

Dms

[earnest bronze]

There's an application process for them?

[steady dagger]

yeah

[earnest bronze]

Lord

[steady dagger]

some of them are legit as selective as stanford bro 😭

[wild vault]

symsys pls 😭

[lilac escarp]

hi

[spare turtle]

3:24 pt

[thin glen]

princeton looked rough

im so cooked for tmrw

[ornate delta]

[trim cosmos]

Your move, Stanford

[wild vault]

WE are getting in.

[gray peak]

statistically we can guarantee a few acceptances out of the people here 👀

wassup

[trim cosmos]

Well one is already for sure

[gray peak]

there

is like more than 1

LMAOO

but of the people not accepted

[wild vault]

how to decide if you want to apply somewhere

If you want to go to that school to study something you should apply there

Thanks for coming to my ted talk

[gray peak]

it's quite nice here

the weather is certainly better

[trim cosmos]

Bay Area weather is perfect

[steady dagger]

there are enough different people here that it doesn't feel like there's one prevailing culture too much

its really nice

i did underestimate how cold it would get though

[gray peak]

it could also be 80 degrees but I'm thankful that's not the case

imagine living in la

[spare turtle]

no way

[spare turtle]

i love la

wym

[steady dagger]

yeah it was lowk too hot during the first two weeks

[gray peak]

[upbeat prairie]

omg lydi

[spare turtle]

i bet u dont want to live here

[gray peak]

haii

[gray peak]

nope

[steady dagger]

my dorm burned down yesterday 😔

[gray peak]

this is common LMFAO

[earnest bronze]

2 Princeton rea accepted ..

oh hell nah

[grave jasper]

I thought this was San Fran and actually got scared

[shut estuary]

princeton is hard

[charred wind]

wheres the poll?

[shut estuary]

some people say it's a culture shock idts

[shut estuary]

#1400590612469645444

[charred wind]

😭

[charred wind]

is there a poll for stanford class of 2029?

[shut estuary]

https://discord.com/channels/786557653924708373/1268144579044179981

REA last year

[charred wind]

shit wtf

thats a very good ratio

[shut estuary]

yeah

princeton is hard

nobody REAs princeton it's not a good benchmark

[charred wind]

hopefully its the same or better this yr for stanny

[charred wind]

i saw that

[thin glen]

why do u think pton is harder REA

for me at least ik the princeton legacy culture is insane. like ik multiple ppl with 3+ generation legacy. and probably 20 kids at my school are princeton legacy

[charred wind]

do they favor legacy?

😔 😔 😔

[thin glen]

does stanford like or dislike high income

[gray peak]

like

Stanford is notoriously stingy

[trim cosmos]

Don’t feel anything until you see that letter

[gray peak]

coda yeah

I spend way too long in there

[trim cosmos]

They stopped taking Cal Grant but I get like $10k/year so I might not have to work

[thin glen]

i thought they were need blind. how can they tell

[gray peak]

good thing is the fgli community here has a lot of tricks to squeeze money

[trim cosmos]

That’s good

I want to chill for the first quarter or two

[thin glen]

lol when my unc went to UCB he couldnt afford rooming so he stayed in a guy's closet for a year

[gray peak]

they're need blind but they can just give u like not that much aid or take it away easily if u get a job

it's stupid

but the community here is good

[thin glen]

ig that makes sense but its kinda stupid

that's stupid

[gray peak]

hopefully

[thin glen]

fgli and race-based admissions are so different

[shut estuary]

i don't know if they're harder or less hard

i just think princeton REA is not a good benchmark

[thin glen]

yah i support fgli support in admissions

[shut estuary]

if i had to guess i would probably say that it's a smaller size and then also a slightly smaller pool compared to the other REA ivy

[thin glen]

im half asian and half latino do i count as an urm

[gray peak]

lowkey Stanford Rea gives u the most info because they don't defer easily

looks like Princeton is doing that this year as well

[thin glen]

i talked abt my cultural background in one of my essays

[indigo sedge]

r we feeling nervous lolol

tmr 4 pm

[shut estuary]

harvard is the worst

[indigo sedge]

is harvard one of those that defer everyone?

[gray peak]

they highkey defer everyone

[shut estuary]

80%+

it might be 90 actually

[thin glen]

like no advantage to applying there

[shut estuary]

wait no 80

[thin glen]

ik so many

my bsf is committed for sport and hella feeders in the northeast

[charred wind]

whats stanford rea's acceptance rate?

[shut estuary]

it's not public info i believe

[charred wind]

estimate

[thin glen]

low

[shut estuary]

for the Class of 2021, it was around 9%
