Columbia University (2025-2026)

[ashen ibex]

u can intern/vacation in nyc

[flint canyon]

idk ig im biased since im from the area

its diff for everyone but i think its overall better to be in a city you've never been in before

[ashen ibex]

yeah agree

[astral river]

Chicago is the cleaner, cheaper, and more refreshing NYC thats 80% the size but still had a vibrant community

[astral river]

Do you live in Chicago rn?

[ashen ibex]

nope

[astral river]

I feel like aside from location(something that uchicago cant control), I dont think there's any other category

[flint canyon]

not that part of chicago tho 😭

[ashen ibex]

hyde park is a nice neighborhood

[glossy cedar]

chicago symphony orchestra lowk > ny phil

[flint canyon]

the MET, broadway, and carnegie hall tho

[glossy cedar]

Applying for transfer this year. Does anybody know whether we still have to write the 600 word reason for transfer essay? The portal won't show me the questions until I submit the Coalition App (which is impossible until my professors get back to me) and when I emailed Columbia to ask they just vagued me

[glad sentinel]

i’m praying everyone is ok

this is disgusting

[willow sparrow]

W ZOHRAN

[red bluff]

fuck columbia but it sounds like the ICE agents literally lied to get on campus

it’s fuck ICE, send them all to the hague, they are inhuman monsters

[red bluff]

alhamdulillah

[graceful zealot]

please reject me columbia

i dont want to consider you in april

[meager bloom]

Thats actually so sad

Columbia keeps going down fr

[untold ore]

sigh

[untold ore]

you know it’s real when the students on sidechat r defending columbia 😭

i believe it happened at an off campus apartment building?? or smth

😭

[glad sentinel]

columbia happy with claire is such a change

[red bluff]

damn

[red bluff]

claire shipwreck steering her way out

[untold ore]

gotta leave a good impression before you leave

[ionic remnant]

it happened in columbia residential, which is columbia owned housing but not dorms

residential is for grad students and gs students

and yeah tbh, I’d be the first to criticize columbia’s admin but idt this was their fault

[red bluff]

honestly impressed at how quickly she was released

zohran is insanely good at getting what he wants out of trump

it’s wild tho i saw parents of cu students on the spec instagram saying “zohran please take over columbia please save us” 😭😭

[willow sparrow]

yeah i love that

he probably calls up trump complains about how they don’t build anything in nyc and then says “hey buddy i gotta ask you a favor”

[untold ore]

FACT

[red bluff]

he is getting trump excited about building socialized housing

[untold ore]

https://communications.news.columbia.edu/news/important-additional-updates-columbia-university

[red bluff]

big Z also asked trump to direct ICE to stop persecuting the 4 columbia protesters who have been relentlessly targetted with deportation cases over their pro-palestine speech

including one who is still in a concentration camp in texas

[celest ocean]

I had a dream I got a likely letter

😭

[willow sparrow]

stay strong twin

[pliant osprey]

bro we're so college-pilled T^T

we got this

26 days left

[celest ocean]

It’s definitely not going to happen but I’m getting nervous waiting for the 26th

😭

[willow sparrow]

same ahaha

i feel u

ive been like

thinking about what it would be like to attend colleges i haven't been accepted to

going to jinx myself out of existen ce

[celest ocean]

Georgetown 🔥

Wait can you walk from Georgetown to the White House

💀

[willow sparrow]

my friend got into harvard and she was like omg if u get in we should take classes together and i was like omg yeah we totally should (i'm not getting in)

[willow sparrow]

i mean yeah... but its wicked far

you can walk to the subway tho

and take it

[untold ore]

have any come out yet

[willow sparrow]

idts

it's not march yet

i haven't heard about harvard likely letters yet either just yale tbh

and maybe stanford?

[meager bloom]

Stanford alr came out

[celest ocean]

Isn’t it like mid March

[willow sparrow]

idk probablyy

[willow sparrow]

dang and not a single a2cer got it

all these californians too

[autumn minnow]

every dream can come true

[autumn minnow]

i saw someone get it

might be tweaking

[autumn minnow]

you will get in

[willow sparrow]

blind confidence is my favorite type of confidence 😎

[willow sparrow]

oh maybe i am the one tweaking

[autumn minnow]

its also the only confidence necessary

or i would call it faith

you can only have faith in things that you don't know

[willow sparrow]

fair enough

[autumn minnow]

if you know, you don't need faith

same goes with hope, for the people that don't like the connotations of faith

[meager bloom]

One of my friends in AZ got it

[glossy cedar]

damn how many a2cers got yale likely

[graceful zealot]

i had a dream i opened up Yale, got rejected, then opened up Howard, got accepted + $10k + $20k + on their track team

i didn’t even apply to either

[rapid ore]

I had a dream I got into John Hopkins when I never even applied there

[graceful zealot]

so obscure

we’re actually in the trenches

[rapid ore]

Columbia I need this

My decisions are kinda acceptance less

[autumn minnow]

LMAO

[autumn minnow]

LOL

[glad sentinel]

awww this is positive manifesting ❤️

rejection is redirection

[graceful zealot]

I slept for 15 hours so i think the thoughts i had were very muffled

[nova ferry]

like a lot of artists r prolly in nyc already anyways

[autumn minnow]

go and find out

[ashen ibex]

23% do 🤓

[pliant osprey]

Uhhhh like I’m genuinely curious

Because both imo have their strengths

And weaknesses

[graceful zealot]

lolla >

[graceful zealot]

probably people who live in upstate ny or smth

because cornell is just

[potent rampart]

what website is that

[ashen ibex]

parchment

[potent rampart]

wait fr

i thought that was only for transcripts

[ashen ibex]

they have cross admit data too

but the data pool is skewed towards students in the midwest

[potent rampart]

ohh thats cool

im intl so i had no clue abt that lol

[fiery light]

my friend got in to columbia for chem e but he wants to do architecutre?

or quant?

idk but its NOT engineering how easy would it be switch

[willow sparrow]

im crine

why did he apply seas

[fiery light]

becuase he wanted to get in really badly

and all of his ec's are chem related

and which he did get in

but hes also double legacy so i thought he woulda been fine either wary

[glad sentinel]

he has to apply for transfer

and will be considered for transfer just like anyone who wants to transfer

if he wants to go to the other school

[fiery light]

is it typically a difficult process?

[glad sentinel]

it’s the same processes as everyone else who transfers

[fiery light]

im asking here becuase schools are easier/harder to transfer

so lowk im asking a current columbia student what they think

evyer shcool si differnet on their exact polciies

[glad sentinel]

yes but i’m telling u that for columbia, if he wants to go to seas from cc or cc from seas, he has to apply for transfer

[fiery light]

i assumed that much at least

i was jsut wondering if he had to go through loops and bounds

[ionic remnant]

it's not that complicated and they say yes most of the time

that's rly funny though

[fiery light]

🫡

he dropped chem e forr quant beucase quant makes so muhc more moeny allegedly

and hes friends with the quant club pres

[unique zinc]

why do people say columbia is getting worse

[pliant osprey]

multiple scandals I believe

and I'll just kinda leave it at that

[fast parcel]

epstein

[glossy cedar]

omg columbia just added my updates to my file

after 2.5 weeks 😭

[scenic night]

manifesting likely letter for you all if they come out tmrw

[willow sparrow]

are we thinking they’re going to?

[potent rampart]

anybody know if barnard sends likely letters too?

[scenic night]

it’s usually the first thursday in march so I don’t see why not but we won’t know till they actually do come out

[willow sparrow]

fahh

[scenic night]

yea we might be cooked

[willow sparrow]

i wish i had not known this information lowkey

now i will be jumping at every email

imagine they send out a marketing email

[scenic night]

but literally barely anyone gets them

[willow sparrow]

true!!! but also columbia does send out the most likelies out of any college

[scenic night]

literal torture

[scenic night]

that is true

but still i’m sure it’s only like 10% max

[willow sparrow]

yeah

[scenic night]

so like 90% still have to wait

let’s just hope we’re in any of those 2 groups 😭

[glossy cedar]

Is this a bad sign by now or is this just Columbus delay

The only reason I couldn’t do through portal is bc ed deferral portal is still there for some reason

[celest ocean]

Is that indicated on the portal

[narrow sun]

no

its prob yale

i think anywhere from 5-10% of ppl getting in RD will get a likely

so thats prob 75-150 students

apparently there r 2 waves so id prob say half and half each

[fluid solar]

we all get columbia likly tmr right

[simple ruin]

I'm going to Yale

There's no way Dartmouth gets tate mcrae wtf

[simple ruin]

U just gotta be smart for this

[simple ruin]

Idts

[fast parcel]

tate mcraes brother is a senior at dartmouth

so a lot of students think that theyll get tate mcrae

[willow sparrow]

bro

columbia hasnt gotten my update

from january 27

[glossy cedar]

Damn

Did u send email? Or through the portal

[burnt osprey]

I checked today and was wondering why my update from like the first week of feb didn’t get processed

and I realized I forgot to add my info 💀💀

like they ask for name hs

[willow sparrow]

portal

[glossy cedar]

Ah

Damn when I sent an update in like November it got processed like immediately

[tribal grail]

Bruh I sent my update as additional information

[fiery light]

yo is my friended deadass gonna get rescinded

he’s ending 2 classes with c- this trimester without any like family wmwrgency(that i know of)

he’s just been on a senior slide

[willow sparrow]

yeah

he def might

rip

more for us tho fr 🤩

[graceful zealot]

how you gonna get a C-

if you got into columbia

[potent rampart]

senioritis

[graceful zealot]

2 C- is pushing it

[potent rampart]

ik

but some people just dont care ig

it could also be theyre going through smth tho

[fiery light]

i asked him and he said there wasn’t

but maybe he ain’t wanan tell me

we have been friends for literally 12 years maybe more

[potent rampart]

ahh i see

still, theres some things you feel you need to keep only for yourself

[fiery light]

yeha i’d assume as much but his other classes are jsut fine?

like straight a in everything except these two

[potent rampart]

thats pretty weird

can u tell which classes are the ones he got c in??

[fiery light]

ap literature and ap stats

lowkey ap lit is understandable because this trimester was brutal

[narrow sun]

yo that columbia likely thing is a rumor

dont think its happening today

[potent rampart]

[scenic night]

it’s supposed to come out 5pm is what i heard

[potent rampart]

yeah, hes gonna need some luck i think

[fiery light]

🥹

real chance that smth happened within his life

he’s been straight a since freshman year

[potent rampart]

also they are pretty rare even among accepted applicants, even if they come out today it's very unlikely we hear from someone who got one

[fiery light]

he also isn’t the type to open up ngl we’ve been best friends for 12 years and all we do is cite reels and play marvel rivals

[potent rampart]

thats definitely sus

maybe he's burned out and showing it now that he got into columbia

[potent rampart]

peak friendship

[fiery light]

w probbalt send more reels than we say words to each other

[scenic night]

exactly i’m not expecting anything

[fiery light]

29 total schools and only 3 results bro

you did 26 rd

[scenic night]

yes 😭

i was very late

my application was not ready for the early round

idk how i got umich

[potent rampart]

damn

thats a lot of schools

wait are you also intl??

[scenic night]

i’m a us citizen but live abroad

[scenic night]

tell me about it

i was highkey forced by my counselor and parents

but at least the application process is over

[fiery light]

any i think the weirder thing is

i’m just processing

he maintained straight a in every other class???

which like they aren’t easy i think it’s online ap csa ap gov and ap macro

as orchestra but orchestra is like really easy

[narrow sun]

it is what it is

theyll just admit someone else instead

[potent rampart]

ohh being a us citizen is defo an advantage in the process tho

if ur applying from above

[potent rampart]

well, im guessing he may be smart enough to maintain As in those classes without studying much??

[scenic night]

yeah hopefully it does help

[potent rampart]

^^theyre right

[scenic night]

do yall think likely letters will drop today tho

regardless of how many people do get them

[fiery light]

i lowk wanna ask him

but i also don’t wanna push it

[narrow sun]

prob 50 ppl get it

if they do release it today

[glad sentinel]

i’m gonna be so blunt yall need to stfu about these damn likelies 😭

[potent rampart]

lowk do it, even if he doesn't want to tell you whats going on just being there can help

and if he does, well now yknow whats going on with ur friend

[potent rampart]

yo just silence the chat

[fiery light]

i see

[potent rampart]

[fiery light]

aight when it’s a better time i’ll ask

[potent rampart]

gl with that

[fiery light]

wait holy shit

i think

my god i js

he always pats insta on a spam acc abt his cat

but suddenly it isn’t

oh my god

due he’s had that cat for like 12 years

[potent rampart]

i think that may be it bro

[fiery light]

if his cat died would that be a valid reason????

[potent rampart]

imo yes

[fiery light]

i don’t even know how to comfort him on that

[potent rampart]

i have dogs who are nowehere near death and i cry just at the thought of that happening

[fiery light]

he’s had that cat for longer than we’ve been friends

[potent rampart]

damn

[fiery light]

…

maybe i’m over thinking it tho

[potent rampart]

i would just say im sorry for your loss if thats what actually happened

[fiery light]

but i’ve also never once seen this dude struggle in school

[potent rampart]

could be

[fiery light]

ever

[narrow sun]

no point discussing this

[potent rampart]

could also be ap lit just wrecked him

[fiery light]

he passed mutilvariable calc with 99s

[narrow sun]

on a random chat abt ur friend

[potent rampart]

and ap stats was collateral damage

[fiery light]

could be

[fiery light]

yeah you right

my fault

[willow sparrow]

nah ur good you’re just thinking out loud

[bitter parrot]

[bitter parrot]

[willow sparrow]

not necessarilty

likely letters are usually for great academics

or, instuttional priorities

such as underrepresented demographics

[tawny anchor]

likelies are fake

noone gets them

[tawny anchor]

congrats!

[willow sparrow]

holy hypocrisy

[sinful grove]

[meager bloom]

Aren't likelies only for eng students?

For columbia

[ionic remnant]

[pliant cobalt]

fixed it was the vpn

[graceful zealot]

bye af me too and i like

i know

that i’m not getting in

deep in my heart

[fluid solar]

Who got a likely

😭

[willow sparrow]

just one guy

scroll up

[tribal grail]

someone from my school got a likely

So like

I’m not getting in am I

[torn mulch]

Girl😭

10% of the admitted class get a likely

The majority of people admitted don't get a likely. No one gets a likely but like 100 people

[pliant cobalt]

also pretty sure more likelies come same time next week tomorrow

[tribal grail]

Yeah but it’s rlly rare for ppl from the same school getting into the same school that’s 3% ar

[fluid solar]

oh

yea damn

[torn mulch]

Yea it's really rare for people to get into a school that has 3% ar period

[tribal grail]

Well yes

[torn mulch]

It's not like they have a quota

https://tenor.com/view/kamala-kamala-harris-biden-kamala-stan-twitter-kamala-stan-gif-10282464267450316759

[tribal grail]

It’s never happened at my school
Tho

Okay goodbye New York

[torn mulch]

Girl whatever

[fluid solar]

columbia lottery

[willow sparrow]

not really

5 people from my school went to harvard last year

[tribal grail]

do u go to public school

[willow sparrow]

yes

obviously this is not common

but it can happen

[tribal grail]

Ok type shi

[meager bloom]

Some of my friends got liklies

[limpid vortex]

around what percentage of accepted applicants get a likely?

[willow sparrow]

10

or less some years

[deft gust]

so a 0.4% chance

[willow sparrow]

or less

because like

its mostly to targeted demographics

so some applicants just wont ever get one

like no chance

[glossy cedar]

Yo what was that dinner at Columbia

Idk if it was yesterday or today prob yesterday

[glad sentinel]

this!!

[fathom drift]

^

[fathom drift]

Sure, but you have no way of knowing if your chance of getting in is conditional on someone else not getting in

in a random draw, a 3% chance outcome happening twice is a (3/100)^2 chance, or 0.09%

[fathom drift]

i checked my email and then I was like wait, i'm a chud, they're not giving me shit

[narrow sun]

its prob less

10% is a generous estimate assuming 200 ppl get a likely

its prob more like 50-100 which is what someone confirmed a few years ago

any1 else saying anything else is speculating

[narrow sun]

ud acc be surprsied a lot of the top apps r getting into multiple ivys

getting into all is def rlly hard given their low % rate and other factors involved

but a lot of top applicants r getting into 3-4 ivys

[void moth]

wait gummy i am so proud of u 😭

i remember u from the princeton thread

CONGRATULATIONS

[fathom drift]

What do you mean by a lot

About 20-30% of princeton undergrads got into another ivy, from a survey by the biggest campus newspaper

[narrow sun]

again a survery is not indicative

i feel like a lot of ppl with "s tier apps" get into multiple ivys

[fathom drift]

Son

[narrow sun]

if u have smt ha lot of colleges want

again we dont know the sample size

this also doesnt include ppl just larping

[fathom drift]

A survey is leagues better than “I feel like it should be true”

[glad sentinel]

im genuinely gonna crash out i cannot w these terms

[fathom drift]

I can pull it up for you but idt you care

[glad sentinel]

what the fuck is an s tier app im crine 😭

[narrow sun]

if u genuinely have s tier ecs ull likely make multilpe ivys

with a complete app

most ppl overestimate how good their app is

if ur just normal cracked thats diff

sm1 just shotgunning has way diff odds than sm1 who is say a multi time oly winner

[glad sentinel]

do u watch ivyleagueroadmap, elise pham, those people per chance?

[fathom drift]

Sure ig

[narrow sun]

no

i know who those ppl r

all just preying on kids lmao

ivyleagueroadmap has some info that is useful but a lot of it is just manipulation to buying his stuff

[fathom drift]

I mean i guess we’re not sure what you mean by “a lot”

[glad sentinel]

cause ur sounding a lot like them if im being honest..

[fathom drift]

Like what % of kids do you think get into multiple Ivies

[narrow sun]

how?

[narrow sun]

very samll lmao

very very small

[fathom drift]

15%? 25%?

[narrow sun]

no

[glad sentinel]

“omg if u have an s tier app ur bagging multiple ivies”

[narrow sun]

less than 1% of ppl prob have this

if we're being honest

no point rating apps tho its not good mindset

[glad sentinel]

but u just

ok this is enough a2c for today

[fathom drift]

Lowkey Idt this is a conversation that is going anywhere

[narrow sun]

i was making a comparison that most ppl overhype their ecs

[glad sentinel]

im a2hoppingoff

i a2cantdothis

[fathom drift]

Another productive day in a2c

[narrow sun]

i think someone who is a multiple olympida winner

has way diff odds

than just ur regular cracked person

i was referring to those tpes of ppl getting into multiple ivys

the avg person getting into 1 ivy is not making multiple ivys let alone avg person applying to them

its insanely hard given the low % rates esp when u factor in the % to get in for RD

but the % rates are not reflective beacuse someone who just has in school fillers likely has diff odds than someone who has like RSI

[ripe rivet]

Anyome heard from counselors when Barnard is coming out

[flint canyon]

it comes out March 25th

according to a2c calendar

[autumn minnow]

this is one of those statements that can be true when evaluated from far enough away but is just not very helpful

[autumn minnow]

LOL

[narrow sun]

yea this is def not true

last year my school had 13 ppl accepted into princeton (2 off waitlist) and we're not an extremely competitive hs oos

we usually send like 3 ppl per year

we also had 7 ppl make upenn as well

non feeder btw

if the applications are unique and fit the colleges will accept

there arent that many cracked ppl that the college rlly needs to get which is why u usually only see maybe 1 person get in

the 3% AR is very misleading its reflective of everyone if ur an already very competitive applicant its higher and if ur someone with rlly cracked stuff (ec/awards) its def higher

[oblique snow]

Yo guys did the engineering davis scholars come out for ed people or for rd and if for ed, when do the ones come out for rd

[sinful grove]

Ahhh thank youuu

[sinful grove]

Haha lmaoo

[analog sparrow]

columbiana plis

[calm oyster]

wait me too

dyk if they received it or no

[tribal grail]

I have no idea

I sent all my updates for school by additional info

Someone pls answer the question

[celest ocean]

I think it should show the timestamp it was submitted

And if it does then you’re fine

[bold oyster]

what a vibe

[nova ferry]

im sorry but this likely definitely counts as a feeder unless ur hs is like 1000 kids per year 😭 just objectibely

[bold oyster]

🤥

[fiery light]

13 peopel into princeton out of 250 is diabolical

"non feeder btw"

our school id say isnt a feeder but this year its spiked

[nova ferry]

idt u guys realize how non-feedery the real non-feeder schools are 😭

like if u got 13 kids into princeton the school is definitely respected/recognized by the college somewhat

otherwise they wouldnt gamble 13 kids from the same hs bc they like diversity

[bitter river]

this

[nova ferry]

like idt weve had a year where more than one kid got into an ivy in the last 5 years

thats the real wtf is this school struggle 😭

[nova ferry]

dude u scared me i know 2 jake lees at columbia and one of thems my friends ex

but ure an hs senior 😭

[bitter river]

ahh we usually have 0-1 ivy admits a year SOMETIMES 2 but still the concept of schools where just everyone gets into T20s is crazy to me when the majority of people here don’t even go to college at all

[nova ferry]

wait yeah thats the real non feeders 😭

welcome to the club

like the non feeders r the schools where the AOs have to google the school to make sure its real LMFAO

[bitter river]

someone got into stanford yale princeton and penn last year and it was genuinely the biggest miracle ever like he is a pure legend

[bold oyster]

nah actually I’m a undercover columbia student you caught me

[bitter river]

…and then no one else got into any T20s lol

oh wait i lie there was one vanderbilt and one notre dame

[bold oyster]

what counts as a feeder

my schools has a decent amount of people that end up at ivies/stanford but most of everyone else ends up at a UC

[nova ferry]

nah shit which jake lee are u

😔😔😔

[nova ferry]

LMAO WHAT A GOAT

[meager bloom]

Does it mean anything if I got an email from barnard financial office for aid documents

[nova ferry]

yea tbh they broke as hell

[meager bloom]

I hope I get into barnard

Give me some aid pls

[nova ferry]

r u intl?

[meager bloom]

No

[nova ferry]

yeah then thats a good sign since theyre needblind

[meager bloom]

🥹😭

[ripe rivet]

same

im begging

[meager bloom]

Barnard let us make your class of 2030

[bitter river]

my friend originally didn’t wanna apply to barnard and then i forced her to look into it cuz i thought it’d really fit her and now it’s her top school

[ripe rivet]

Do u guys know if they view ed deferred same as rd or more buff

Ughhhhh

[autumn minnow]

the AR is essentially equivalent

for all purposes

[tough saddle]

3 people from the same school near my area got a Columbia likely 😭

[narrow sun]

when did i say 250 where r u getting this shi from 😭

[potent rampart]

same over here

im intl and need aid so its a gigantic leap of faith but miracles happen

[ripe rivet]

Ugh my defer basically crushed my confidence

[tribal grail]

I’m just praying my colleges get my updates cuz I lowkey just used the additional info section

All of them say received tho

Idk

[ripe rivet]

SAME

[nova ferry]

dont let it!

i got deferred from cornell

i go to barnard now 😎

[bold oyster]

Ah

[visual ember]

idk how yall here hoping yall have a chance 💔 i was happy when i got deferred uchicago

[meager bloom]

LOLLL

[willow sparrow]

im delusional haha

but georgetown made me delusional

the only problem is that columbia is like 3x less than gtown acceptance rate

[visual ember]

a week before i got into georgetown someone backed into my camry and left a hole in the rear bumper

[willow sparrow]

just a slight problem

[willow sparrow]

how what

[visual ember]

two weeks ago a giant truck essentially pit maneuvered me on a bridge and my car’s been in the shop for 2 weeks now

so maybe..

[willow sparrow]

its a sign

[visual ember]

or maybe it’s just a sign for my LACs

idk what kind of catastrophe i’d have to get into in order to land an ivy

much less lucky enough to be my top choice ivy

[cold cipher]

u existing is basically a likely bro

[meager bloom]

Coke scholars are so cracked

[cold cipher]

ok i’m lwk glazing hella tonight

[willow sparrow]

literally that’s what i told her vro

[meager bloom]

I wish I had access to some things they did 😭

2 weeks and 6 days left till ivy day

[cold cipher]

ikr

so cracked so stacked

[visual ember]

ts (this shit) server 🫩

[meager bloom]

Oop

Is she an opp

OH

[graceful zealot]

Capppp

[meager bloom]

[visual ember]

i think the strat is to deliberately mess up one of your essays tbh

not like say egregious shit but make a stupid typo

[meager bloom]

So then they'll know its not ai

I feel like it would work better with columbua

Columbia

Not so much with harvard

[visual ember]

i deleted a whole word in my georgetown school specific supp and i nearly cried when i looked over the review after i submitted it

[graceful zealot]

nahhh

you shouldn’t

so many people do thT

[graceful zealot]

hide them from your feed 😭

[visual ember]

like 90% of the hoyas2030 posts are “i’m not committed yet but georgetown is a top choice”

[meager bloom]

I hates those typa posts

Ugh

It kills me

[graceful zealot]

there’s some fake georgetown 2030 page that followed me too

[meager bloom]

Class of 2030 im not 100% commited

[graceful zealot]

“it’s in my top 3!”

[meager bloom]

Why are u posting

[graceful zealot]

like you just want followers

[meager bloom]

The deadline isn't till may 1st

Like ugh

[graceful zealot]

i’d do the same thing if i was hot though

[visual ember]

theyre all like fucking models too 💔

[meager bloom]

Majority arent tho

[meager bloom]

Why does tjis look in the early 2000s

[meager bloom]

Yale ppl imo are models

I lowkey gotta take more pice

I dont have any good pics for those typa pages

[graceful zealot]

Omg i know of him

Don’t doxx my bro

[meager bloom]

Lol

[meager bloom]

Why is gtown called hoyas?

[visual ember]

greek + latin chant turned into nickname

[graceful zealot]

that’s iconic

[graceful zealot]

wait i have a story dms

[meager bloom]

All the above

Archery sounds fun tho

If I get into pton I wanna try it

[visual ember]

why are all the prettiest universities in the most boring places

like the suburb of princeton nj

😭

[glad sentinel]

northwestern has good archery

[flint canyon]

cuz that's where they have more space

[visual ember]

washu is in a city

except that city is saint louis…

[flint canyon]

columbia is in a city

[meager bloom]

Princeton seems fun

[flint canyon]

except that city is nyc!

[meager bloom]

Eating Clubs, shops around campus

[flint canyon]

eating clubs seem so fake and elitist

[visual ember]

when was the last time u saw someone romanticize st louis

[meager bloom]

The food looked good j cant lie

Washu is nowhere

Midwest yuck

[flint canyon]

at columbia you can lowk eat at a different restaraunt every week

[meager bloom]

True

[flint canyon]

study at a different cafe every day

[meager bloom]

I'd go broke in nyc

ToT

All the good food places

I'd have tk save the expensive ones for my parents

[flint canyon]

i won't have any other time in my life when im financially dependent on my family

gotta use that to my advantage 😭

[flint canyon]

and new haven

[meager bloom]

Real

[meager bloom]

I heard it was hard to get to yale from the airport

Like its not close

Shocked to say the least

[visual ember]

yale isn’t even part of this convo

😞

new haven is basically nyc in my eyes

[flint canyon]

yuck fale

[meager bloom]

Is it really?

[graceful zealot]

Wait i actually thought you were joking

[meager bloom]

WDYM

[graceful zealot]

Most schools have those

[meager bloom]

Eating clubs?

Not like pton

1st time I ever heard of that

[graceful zealot]

you don’t want to be eating in princeton

[flint canyon]

is this genuinly an appeal to you

[meager bloom]

No

It piqued my interest tho

[graceful zealot]

you’d rather be eating bagels in nyc posting all your best photos on your story and getting 100 likes

[meager bloom]

When I lived in nyc I ate bagels a lot 😭

[graceful zealot]

I eat a bagel like everyday

but they’re just bagged
