bu was rank 2 for health law…..but 71k tuition is evil ugh
if i was going to do either id probs go to UW
yea
i wish they paid more attention the pre law or humanities students and gave us more resources too
my friend whos going to duke was like either i go to duke to do pre-med or i go to uw lmaoo
like either a top school or like in-state
i meant like overall
it feels weird deciding against uw hopefully i wont regret it 😭
together, uw, duke, vandy, and gtech mog hypsm!!!!!!
you dont need to rush yourself
my plan was doing a coin flip and seeinf if i get dissapointed or happy depending where it lands
what if im dissapointed either way
oh landed on uw, why am i missing out on gt
landed on gt, im not going to uw nooo
theyre rlly equal in stem program strengh and cs so ig its which location you like more
you also want flexibility and maybe youd like smth new so oos
yeah i think thats the core of my decision
i think uw you will always know what to expect bc youre a washington resident
and you live close to home adn will be with lots of friends
yeah
but you may always wonder what would happen if you tried smth new and began a new chapter in atlanta
Uw does have the price benefit but i hear gtech isnt bad
meanwhile gtech can be more "risky"
its 15k diff a year which thankfully my family can afford without any issues
so between both of them cost isnt a huge factor
would you rather work for big tech or make your own startup/ai route?
i hear the average + median starting salaries are very similar anyways
i dont know haha
my friend is also deciding between uw, uiuc, and gt
Also do u have a lot of credits that transfer to one or the other?
you might feel less restricted at gtech cuz you dont know if youre going into cs
same number of credits
gtech can make you feel more free and like you can choose your own path
kinda yea
i mean
Does gtech restrain the number of cs majors?
True
yeah im just having last minute thoughts
dont let others make you feel unsure about it
i am turning down UW-CS, michigan, ucla, usc so hopefully someone else from my school can get in
youre going to make someone so so happy on uw cs
ik sm ppl on waitlist who are dying to get in
usc cs is impressive daang
thi sis gonna sound bad but with schools this close to each other in program strengh id consider which amscot i like the most
💔
and the merch............
hornets is unbelievably tuff
i got banned for some reason
i have sm other friends doing same....and with the gtech too
again??????
😂
i am becoming very dissapointed and let down
oh you missed it but
i also got into a t10 lac
and got 108k scholarship
wait thats great
i got off waitlist like uhhh 3 days ago
yeahhh it was right after i committed to uw
now im kinda aguhghgh
dang that stinks
would you have taken it over uw though
UW campus is actually so nice
hm
the school i got into was grinnell. its kinda unknown cuz its a lac
but its a huge law school feeder and 80% of their students get into their 1st or 2nd choice grad school
when i was visiting illinois (uchicago and northwestern) i still thought uw had best campus
and they feed into harvard and georgetown law....so technically for pre-law grinnell would be significantly better
but its 13k/year uw vs 44k/year grinnell
daaang over northwestern
yupp
its usually around 70k/year. so scholarship was 27k every year
after scholarship its 44k
ay congrats
hoenstly northwestern just looks like an office building im ngl
thank you!!
by the beach
impossible
its genuinely just office building by the beac
have you seen their gardens and greenhouse
im gona tell my northwestern friend this to ragebait her tho thank you very much for this
my friend got into NU too but i think hes choosing cornell over it
im not even kidding though
i already purposefully call it northeastern and western washington. it sets her off!
🤣
did uiuc end up giving you aid?
npope
aw man
what major?
chemE
just go to tech vro
boston uni 70k/year sucks too 💔 its rank 2 for my field
boston and nyc were my dream cities
wait thats tuff
r you sure youre not biased
n-no never
im going to room with rowkey
says the guy from georgia TECH
its hard finding roommates if you dont have friends at the college. but there is zeemee and an app named band
do you want me to add you to a uw insta gc? there are people there looking for roomies
im not going to UW
theres also a special gc called "uw girls" for girls finding roomates..........
uiuc?
uiuc is fire
80% of our schools going uw or uiuc
we are the best school in washington after all
yayy congrats on deciding
ill keep an eye out for your senior destinations and make an edit
NOOOOOOOOOO
the uiuc website crash stress was worth it after all!!!!
lowk cant argue with this
even though i dont go
might be seattle prep tho
theyre such a rich private and always get first in mock trial 😡
my school is private but like the least comp private school
will you make one? i don't know if i will
how much does private school cost per year
a lot
5 ppl have told me they will edit me 🙁
more than harvard ?
like 20k / yr
revenge
WTF
its insane yea
gtech tuition is no problem for you
yeah gt is 50k/yr
with everything including transportation
food, board
UIUC is like 70k no
63k total
my cuz told me to do that
did you love my destinations edit of ykw 👀
yes
vra theres no communal kitchens 💔
ill sneak you into uw campus and let you use ours
ty
which one?
drop seattle food recss
they have a rlly cute bookstore that's 10-15min away from campus that has 6 cats you can pet
ngl i was kinda suprised by purdue
i tour purdue it was rly eerie
hahaha you knew who i was talking about instantly
ofc i do im a loser
make her one too and she will become your thomas the choochoo train
aqui verde
she said it is her best choice! and plus purdue cs is pretty tuff
yelp says 3.5/5 but like trust me its great
purdues the first established cs program ever and she's a sentimental
its always the 3 stars tbh
has she been to the campus before
im not sure
i went to purdue few weeks ago to take a look
so i didnt book a tour to purdue and i just walk around campus
idk if it was just that day but
wait im in a grinnell q&n rn and the guy is saying that 90% of students get into a t14 law cshool wtf
wait...............................
i was at an intersection with over like 100+ people i saw in that area
it was dead silent
like i kid you not
i could whisper and i feel like everyone could have heard me
ive never been in an area with so many people and have it be so quiet
that really put me off
everyone was alone together
the campus, everything is uniform its like a scene from the giver
idk im rly biased against purdue based on my experience and the horror stories ive heard ab the school so take it with a grain of salt
congrats to her though super big
scary
i guess theyre not the social kind
purdue campus area prob feels safer than uw tho tbh
during uw admin student day, someone in uw insta gc said a homeless person approached asking if they wanted to die and another saw someone peeing on a tree
ye for sure i like all the green and PNW at UW tho
ive been stalking uw reddit and theres this homeless man also hitting students and someone stealing mail????
like i can go to hike on weekend if UW that is just so great
ye thats just uw sea
have you heard the cs class controversy with the ai
cs240 or smth
she was really scared about that
what about that
60% of the class was caught using ai on homework
so all were failed
it was a huge scare amongst everyone but the cs department ended up talking to the teach who failed 60% of class and it was reversed
but now they're scared purdue cs degree is "useless" bc sm students cheat
lol i heard something similar to that happened at uiuc but it was like 90% so the professor couldn't fail everyone cause rating drop so he passed everyone
hmm def not
purdue cs wont be useless
we were talking about it here #1400589445182521404 message
yeah, purdue is a pretty big name school
whaaat 90%
i didnt even get into purdue for cs and i know about it
i dare you to say that to her
ask to be the lightening mcqueen to her thomas the train
AAH!!!!!!!!
it was english tho not cs i think,
the prof was just sad cause he cant do anything if such high amount of ppl using ai
what cheating in the best subject to exist!
egregious
we should cheat on smth lame like biology
mark my words every english assignment i get in uni i will be using AI!!!!!!!!!!!
uiuc is 1 HOUR AWAY FROM PURDUE THOUGH............
you dont like cornfields?
oh so youre already planning to visit her
you guys are moving so fast
this is so cute!!!!!
dw. i will go msg her rn and tell her about this! she's going to be so excited
i feel like those anime girls that go its not like i was implying that or anythning !
it's not like i like you or anything thomas the train!
im dyin
WAIT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she said she's going to ask you about this in class tomorrow and ask to talk to you privately outside the hall
good luck!
NONONONONHODSANFONFDASON

like its a super big thing
its going to be at eastlake right after school and ruoqi and i will be there to support her
do you want to join us? we will also do ap studying
i havge contractors over remodeling bathjroom rn
i have to watch over house and take shift while my parents are gone

they both want to get to know you better before you join the family
same thing
THIS BEST BE A JOKE PLS.................

omg wtf ? someone give me a drink an hour ago and its drugged with 100mg of melatonin wait wtfffffffff ummmmmmmm
sry she was putting on make up
shes going to call rn
im hanging out with her and her sister and ruoqi so ill call from my account
pick up
PLEASE let me see them 😭
im almost wishing i enrolled at uw just so i could see the presentation
im suprised vandy doesnt have it considering how frat-heavy it is
idk why they make it so unserious
the anti drinking and drugs one was like “drinking is ok but stay hydrated so you don’t black out”
isn’t that the exact opposite message of what the overall message is😭
ok bro but why is their definition of "gross stuff" so bad 😭
drinking pure pickle juice i can get
but like sonic literally has the pickle slushie 😭
hot sauce is great, maybe not standalone
and fish skin is fire when cooked right
NEVER OKAY!
Heyy I am so sorry to bother you again
My friends and I are possibly thinking of getting an apartment for our freshman year
np lol
kind of
oh yeah
🥶
2nd years+ have priority for all on campus living
cause they sign up in april
you might have luck doing an off campus apartment but most people start signing leases in jan-march if they aren’t already a returner
like i re-signed my lease in december and im sure a lot of other people did
mmmm off campus apartments
if you wait really late you can get cheap deals off campus
like 900/room rent
and your own bed and bath
Might be a risk
yeah
i’d secure housing but if that opens it’s worth
cause you could renew at that rate for 4 years
Secure housing? Like secure on campus?
that's assuring ahahahaa
bro the 4 bedroom apartments are niceeee asf
Private bath
might be terrible but you will be guaranteed HFS housing if you apply
standard
kinda expensive
yeahhhh
it’s good except the mail room
they lose packages all the time and then when you ask the front desk (they’re all students too) they patronizingly say “well look harder then”
which i get they can’t do much but at least be nice about it
ya not as bad as reddit says but it has its problems
I hope you doing well bro
the maintenance complains they’ve fixed
😭😹
they do maintenance within 2 days max in my experiences
but yeah i’d just try to secure something in a dorm or on campus apartments, you can always back out (500 dollar cancel fee i think) and then ask the apartments off campus if you can get a good rate close to start
yeah
but i’m graduating early so next spring
3 years
ohhhh
i just did a lot of AP classes
What's your major
public health
good luck
I need that luck
i’ve heard there’s a lot of flexibility in courses once you’re in though
mmm I think so
it's easy to switch to computer engineering as long as no delays on graduation
Soooo what's your advice for just getting an apartment on campus
like
I mean
application process
luck
the logistics type shi
that’s good
I guess just anything I should be aware of
ur all broke son 😭
imma tickle you in class
tough luck catching me in nashville
bro aint getting me in first class
switching up on my day 1s fr
pray they’re open lol
the way all on campus housing works is they put you in housing groups and then the earliest person in your room gets to go and look through a list and pick one out
you can change it til like august
Is it a very complex web interface system type
like when you select your dorm or apartment
might’ve changed because they’ve done a lot of UI updates in the last 2 years but it was pretty simple then
but do it on a laptop cause on a phone it looks wack
they say that upfront but if you turn your phone sideways you technically can look at it but it looks weird
it’s like a menu and you can just click rooms and select them
so what am i going to do when housing opens🤦♂️
i still cant access my portal...sigh
Ig by the sound of it
It's not bad
but we'll see tho
We're now considering Here Seattle too
can everyone pretty pls glaze my uw commitment linkedin post
dm for my amazing linkedin!!! we can CONNECTION FARM
didnt get in 
aw im sorry
is this for their grad school? i see you have the associate degree role
udub appeals are out i think?? someone got in for cs appeal which is insane
that would be my spot i turned down 😭
appeals out before waitlist movement is rlly surprising to me
especially for cs ik sm ppl on waitlist
op said they forgot to submit docs tho so thats special circumstance
have u guys had any luck in finding roomates
theres an insta for roommates! want me to add you?
posting a uw co2030 post will also help
ppl use zeemee and band for roommates
a gc or an account
you and I are two different people
ive been using zeemee but
my biggest issue is like I really want a single so if. Im looking for a roommate id always preface with that it’s just hard bcs those ppl are probably trying to lock down a roommate😭
gc
i thought singles were full already
apartments
also if people switch around
or people leave uw
etc
rooms will switch around
i dont think you have to lock it in until july-august
it’s locked in mid august
and you can switch at the start of winter and spring quarter too for like 20 bucks
hype
that actually makes me feel so much better
i think a lot of housing options show up in winter usually cause people sign up for dorms as a back up if they don’t get into greek life and then when they do they get rid of the dorm for winter and spring
hmu if you want to join a uw pre-law gc!
also nvm i forgot smth very important.......
IT'S A GIRLS ONLY GC
DON'T POUCH ME
praying I dont get someone like you 🤞
Lowk valid take icl
uw transfer rates are out, pretty surprised with this
damn chill tf
im beautiful clean tidy don’t go to bed late …. I just would not want a roommate😹
came out harsh mb
but still
hoping I get oak but anything north campus thats not mcmahon or hansee is fine
Have y'all explored any off campus apartments
They're so fire
Here seattle
The M
Trailside
Get your own bathroom
own bedroom
in unit laundry shi
year 2 fs
Ive just starting practicing doing all mine on bulk on a tuesday since Im pretty sure itll be free compared to weekend rush
MHMMM
yup
put preferred as
oak
oliver
maple
Uh It was at 2:20 seattle time but thats just cus I didnt know there was a payment rn
but yeah I think it went well
filling out the roomate thing rn
Mmm good choices
how many roommates
I put first choice as double
second choice as triple
and I said prefer building instead of room type so lets see
How did yours go?
Doubles such a better choice than triple
I was hoping you didn't put triple
I didnt do it
4 of us getting an off campus apartment
Eh theres very few triple rooms in north campus afaik
and Im honestly fine with it because its random roomates
and so more likely to get one you like lmfao
Thats fire
are you all from washington
mhmm very few triples
random roommates is gonna be fun
but a bit risky of course ahaha
NC lol
North Carolina
Mmm
What made you wanna come to udub
I personally don't like the campus
My only thing is that I get like a severely like downer of a person
I could not care less about anything about a person but that
Cus imagine coming back from classes and youre greeted with that ykwis
Seattle fs
I applied to some good UK ones since my moms family is there and I did get into technically better ones but uw just has the best opportunities icl
yeahhh i feel you
im a very social person so ik what you mean
so youre tryna do CS?
YES
cedar apartments is my 3rd choice after hansee and mcmahon
nooooo
thats on campus i think
oh oyu mean
i meant like apartments of hfs
not literal off campus housing
sorry i thought u meant that
ohhhh
i wanted cedar apartments initially
but i heard thy're all super hard to get in
cedar and mercer court
oh god no
bioengineering prolly (can you tell im too broke for med track 😭 )
i did hansee, mcmahon, then cedar apartments
ohhhh okayy
wbu?
im tryna do CS
are you tr yna be social
gl dawg
mcmahon is lowkey underrated
thank you!!
do you know what hansee hall is
i don't
saw so much slander about mcmahon and hansee
and talked to an alum who said the same
people say mcmahon is super social tho
its js preferences
well all north campus are the same vibes mostly tho
just the facilities
thats so true
so close to greek row ahahaha
damn is there no other platform apart from zeemee to talk to UW admits
Cuz like the only insta gc I found was for like admitted transfers
in the zeemee
i think they got like
GCs for actual 1st years
like they be linking insta GCs
might have to scroll up
we have an insta gc
with like 250 people
theres also the UW discord
dont use the uw discord
its actually full of the strangest people ive ever met in my life
and they all love north korea and talk about femboys
damn what
I think I searched for that
damn
Ive been so behind on college shit since Im doing IB exams
Just realized I had to lock in for housing at least
mm no thank you
I mean sure
son
damn u guys want it or not
i was just extending the invitation ❤️
yes please 🥺
dm me your insta @
deactivated
I have finals
you trolling
so why the fuck did u just ask me to invite you to an instagram gc
chill
I thought it would be a link and im downloading rn gang
how am i supposed to invite him if his account is deactived 🥀
idk how insta works but
can't you just send the link
to his DMs
then when he reactivates his acc
he can js click the link
NOBODY CHOOSE MCCARTHY AS DORM
EVERYONE DO WEST
i heard every mccarthy dorm has spiders in it and cobwebs and moss and mold and slugs and maggots and flies and the bathrooms are yellow toilets
uw has been gaining lots of popularity so the acceptance rate is dropping more and more
first year went from 50 to 39
omg just kill me bro
i really want to find transfer rates for cs but i cant
uw is super secretive about their transfer rates and its rlly annoying....ppl say its "inflated" to look higher than it is but idk if thats rlly true
it is
they dont even have numbers for civil updated
how did i get in to purdue but a hard reject from uw
im in state too 
Cs transfer is cooked
im also pretty sure that they report waitlists as acceptances??? thats what somebody told me
maybe its ppl who get off waitlist they call it as part of their overall acceptance rate while otehr colleges dont??
so its like a reverse northeastern idk
Tons of people in info, math, stats all tryna get cs
i hope uw becomes more and more pristegious till it becomes the #1 public!!!!
one can only dream
I wish uw actually let you swap
Majors easily
i think uws ranking is a bit ranked down by all the stupdi pre-major stuff they pull....most ppl ik who didnt go to uw did it bc of their pre-major
Then I would have probably gone
gtech has the cuter mascot tho
idk my friend who also chose gtech cs over uw said that uw connections arent as good anymore
they tripping
0% oos transfer cs acceptance is brutal
im surprised more didnt apply transfer to uw cs
damn they couldve at least admitted like 100 ppl
jus 14 more son
Then uw cs would be bloated like berks
Allen school alone alr has like 2000 undergrads
Which is the size of some colleges
lonely at the top
THE CANVAS HACKERS GOT UW 💔💔💔
im in a uw pokemon server and theyre saying they want to use this opportunity to make social media content cuz the hacker group is called the "shinyhunters"
bio assignment due tomorrow morning and details are all on canvas im sure it'll be fine
the way i had the same thought...
i don't know anyone in this server or at my school who got off, which is surprising cuz my school is the biggest feeder to udub
i heard that in state cs is moving but i might be wrong. i only saw info on social media
wait @eager oyster is here and got off!!! i think he is oos biochemistry
i’ve heard this a bunch too
aaand it happened
they even changed their pfp to team rocket for the bit
I got pre science not biochemistry
dy have the link to the post or nah
yup
tysm
uhhh i cant find the one i saw but i found these
someone for cs got off but they were assigned pre sciences instead
it seems like most people who are getting off waitlist are not getting direct admit to major
here someone claims cs in state is moving
it seems like theyre all oos too
i havent seen anyone in state get in
its possible theyre js doing oos rn but idk
but i saw this years common data set and in state acceptance was only 45% which was lower than usual? maybe theyre trying to get more oos
hopefully
for cs i doubt theyll let oos off
good luck
thanks
whats your top choice from the ones you got into?
im in state uw and bc of coa my only option is uw
my other options were purdue and uci
No aid at Purdue?
no
Btw I turned down my uw cs spot 🙏
thanks
so if you dont get off, does this mean youd go to washington cc and transfer in
transfer rates for cs r 30% too but it might be better for cc
looks like its around 40%
yeah
but not for cs
