you're a junior?
tyty!!
For anyone still doing the final stretch for ED2/RD Bowdoin applications, please DM me if you need any assistance!!!
is the williams supplement supposed to align with our spike/intended major? @vast gyro
or can it just be an analysis of a poem
even if im like a politics major
it can be anything
like most LACs williams also doesn't admit by major
so the answer to "does this have to be related to my major" will generally be no
I just thought doing a paper in politicss would show them how I think about it
but its also 10 pages so...
but i have a great poetry paper im doing instead that is 4 pages
that's great
yeah i really don't think the topic matters as much as the quality of the writing
and your thought process
@cunning sable do you know why when im reviewng my williams app before im about to submit they say "Williams College has chosen not to include certain My Common Application responses in the PDF they receive for your application. As a result, the following questions and answers will not be on your PDF:
ACT / SAT Tests"
I indicated I wanted them to consider those in the application?
so I just wanna make sure they receive them
i believe some schools suppress the test scores in the pdf but they're still seen
okay so just as long as I said "yes" to being considered I'm good to go?
yeah pretty sure
literally anything. they want to see that you know how to write
congrats 🥹 and gl lol
Thank you guys!!! @violet anvil @languid coral
Heyy could you review my Amherst supplements?
I would also be happy if someone would be down to review mine when they are done too!
for Amherst
Sure
Okay
@sinful totem heyyy.....
do u think i should submit a 30 act to vassar, if im planning on majoring in sociology / got a 36 reading & 28 english?
check your dms please
depends on the average for ur hs tbh
i submitted my 32 but like i also had my hs for act as like a 26
it’s probably fine
a 30 is like a ~1360-1380 and my schools average is 1060
i’m a math major and i had a 28 on math and a 36 on reading
oh deadass
It doesn’t disadvantage you to not accept a fee waiver.
For the most part, colleges gives a fee waiver to first gen and/or low income applicants..
And honestly I’d accept whatever fee waivers come my way even if I had to fully pay for a college. Maybe I’m not going to Williams but I do know quite a few people who go… just take it man.

Bro is just rich
Fr think of it as the college just giving you a shot to pay less.
just take it lol
Does anyone have more information about the optional supplement upload for Harvey Mudd? It says you can submit "math and science endeavors, research abstracts, or creative projects." Does that include art and/ or short stories?
I'm not finding info on their website but maybe I'm search bar challenged
sounds like thatd fall under "creative projects"
even tho its a STEM focused school im sure theyd value an applicant having passion projects outside of that discipline, theyd wanna know youre human
but you can also email your AO/the admissions office, they should be able to tell you
erm is anyone else getting this for swarth through coalition?
have never experienced this
i changed devices, but same network
i think this happened to me once? i forget the details but ive def have had portals fail to sync with coalition. email Swats admissions with identifying info like your name, DOB, and email used for coalition and they should hopefully be able to help
Good to know that I'm not the only one experiencing this, will email them swiftly, thank you
yay!!
where did bro get dark mode
mine is forced dark mode from opera gx
Oh goated browser
where r u from!
yeah but recently it is lagging
Nepal
nicee
where are you from?
yeah
white light is allergy for me man
for the swarthmore #1 supplement can it be about an extended family tradition?
i think since they are asking about community then your family is a community(?) so ig that's okay
Ty!
gl
i think they would be more popular if they weren’t in ohio 
ohio hate is crazy
carleton and grinnell are also underrated but everyone seems to hate the midwest
i was joking, i actually don’t know much about ohio lol
a lot of lacs in general are pretty underrated ngl
i didn’t know about lacs until super late in my application cycle
nobody knows about the secret US news page where they hide all the good schools
they just look at the university rankings
yes 
is it recommended to submit a research paper for williams?
and has anyone here at williams taken any tutorials?
yeah i did
i have one but its like 6 pages is that okay
yeah
past the application deadline? i guess you could maybe try emailing admissions and seeing if they would accept it and attach it to your application
Congratulations!
OH
A REMINDER TO ALL LAC APPLICANTS
TURN IN YOUR APP
REVISE EVERYTHING
JAN 5TH IS TMR
IF UR LAC DATE IS TMR
GET IT IN.
GL TO EVERYONE ON FINISHING!!!
bro i just found out bowdoin is prounounced bow - dun
i thought it was bo - dow - in
just found out amherst has hidden supps 😭
yeah man like how do i explain why this major in 275 characters

LOL
skidmore college lets you submit whatever you want as supps lol
i recall when i applied i was googling why skidmore lacked a supplement, founD some old blogpost i think from a former admissions guy saying they let applicants send whatever, and i confirmed that still was true by emailing my AO lol
w brunswick maine
immense W
where do I submit?
i'm applying bc a) food and b) skiing lmao
my mom hated the idea of me going camping but I fr wanna do a camping trip LOL
Actually wrote it as a small supplement to Bowdoin’s Geoffrey Canada Scholars program
No you don’t go to Canada; it’s coined after a sudden
*person called Geoffrey Canada
oh lmao
wait are there additional programs i can apply to
They consider you based on application
Think of it as an invite to apply for like a program rather than
You fill it out and pray you get in during results
ohh i see
It was lowey crazy because
email and or i think an upload section within the portal
Even tho QB students were like among the first of Bowdoin’s class, only like less than 10 of us got invites.
and we’re all FGLI
And it’s a program for FGLI kids
this supplement cycle never ends

If you’re lucky it lowkey ends for you after the first or second week of January.
And then y’all have until
March to stress.
it never ends for internationals lol
we are way too cooked
id still be thoughtful about what you send, i think Skidmore emphasizes fit and demonstrated interest a lot since it lacks formal supplements
yeah i love skidmore
i sent a why skidmore essay i wrote up, my art stuff, and a research paper and still got waitlisted in the end so its not about high volume
oh no
email your AO really theyll have the best answer
thanks mate
id generally advise getting everything in before the deadline but schools may be more lax on a case by case basis
again, fit matters a lot! i wouldnt be discouraged
yeah okay
thanks
obviously my self bias says i demonstrated fit in my file but obviously admissions saw differently. my experiences arent a universal reflection
or maybe that was yield protection
considering you go to pomona now
Hi!! Do you have any advice for Pomona supps? I wasn’t going to apply but I did the css profile for it so now I feel like I gotta 😭 I did my sups but idk if it’s actually good
i dont know if i believe in the concept of it lol, it feels like a buzzword that gets thrown around as coping, like i doubt conclusive evidence of the practice exists at any or most unis
sure! i wont be able to give feedback right this moment ill be sleeping soon but feel free to DM
it exists I'm pretty sure. colleges are kinda obsessed with their yield lol
i would like to be back at my lac 😔
Bowdoins video feels so scary no editing, only 1 chance to rerecord
sure, message here applies to anyone applying to pomona!
Anyone here who understands physics can they look at 2 papers I have found in my school library, those papers were inside a dystopian novel
check you dms please
The amherst form has this question, but theres no word count and it doesnt have an essay answer type box, so how should i go about this question? how much can i write?
175 words capped
i checked this is 275 characters i think
Okay, thank you!
We have a why major essay?
Text box limit is 275 chars
is it recommended to submit research paper to williams
It’s rly not that scary LOL
will anyone look at my swarthmore essay please
WWHAT
sure
submitted bowdoin 
should this be tied back to Amherst in any way or is it just a diversity statrment in general?
In what ways could your unique experiences enhance our understanding of our nation and our world?
like should it talk about Amherst at all or is it just in general
it sounds general
for Williams College do you guys recommend submitting a research apper as part of their optional supplement
Yeah 275 characters
what do u guys recommend for this supplement
**If you would like to share more about yourself that is not captured elsewhere in your application, please tell us more here. (Maximum: 175 words)
Its so open omg 😭
could you check your dms please
YESSS
If you get into Bowdoin LMK!!
Robbed… swarthmore baddie tho
hopefully i do 😭
amherst is evil what im writing the supps last minute now
how is it evil
yo can anyone read my essay for amherst?
Switched to ED2 to Davidson!!
i agree. very evil
YAY good luck!!
THANK YOU!
I do admit the hidden supplemental questions are annoying.
I will speak to our admissions team to see if we can change that.
Williams has a far better application form than us right now and we can't have that.
how are they hidden? 😭
"Hidden" as in not explicitly mentioned on the admissions website
But tbh it isn't hidden to anyone who takes the time to overview the form on Common App
oh well
They weren't a problem for me when I applied but I can see why other people might not like them
https://appsupport.commonapp.org/applicantsupport/s/writing-requirements
not really if people are smart enough to try this lol
no
That's not our admissions website but it's cool
i did but im sure either way is fine
would u help me decide between 2 essay topics for amherst goat?
does my research paper from williams require the bibliography?
nope
williams so pretty i love lac
snow...
snow......
does anyone know if we submit the williams supplemental paper with the assignment directions in one file?
i think you should try to, but if you can’t and it lets you upload more than one file then you can probably do that
am i fried? i forgot to change the future plans on common app and submitted 😭
Future plans?
not that deep
btw can u read my davidson essay?
sure
thank u ill send in dms
You should be fine
wait fr? 😭
i would've submit earlier if i had known this
bruh i thought they give few days
?
they give time till jan 20
is this not fake
yeah he's lying 😭
i dont see why the portal itself should be wrong
gang dont make up answers for others questions 😭
lac 🔥
is anyone here from Haverford College?
I don’t go there, but I’m applying
lac lovers 🔛🔝
I know that's your Williams rink but it looks almost exactly like our rink just with the banners switched
They both look like an aircraft hangar
lmao this is so real
the shape is very odd at least to me
i keep forgetting Tufts is in NESCAC
They used to be an LAC
i didnt get my swarthmore portal yet
should i send an email to them?
if you submitted via commonapp, they take a few days usually to sync up and email you a portal activation link
the email they sent said it takes like 24–48 hours to receive one, so im starting to get a bit worried
has it been 48 hrs?
almost?
just to make sure i understood this email correctly
does it mean i have until jan 12, not jan 8, if i apply ED2
i think they'll send at some point
i checked common app, and they did downloaded my apps
thats wack that EDII gets more time
but yes that appears to be what theyre saying
but remember ED is binding, dont apply EDII unless you actually have decided that is your school of choice if admitted
yea if it hasnt been 48 hours wait until then
also i think commonapp is infamously slow and inconsistent with portals being sent so id even give it a bit more leeway like maybe another 12 hrs before emailing anyone
ok thx :)
this is crazy 😭 are they desparate for ed applicants or something
who r lac's for
looked it up and theyre best suited for ppl going into academia and premeds?
SLACs are great for grad school goals yeah. Because grad school admissions want letters of recommendation and projects youve done in undergrad, which are easier to achieve if you have closer connections with your faculty. Closer connections also mean more guidance for grad school admission tests such as the MCAT and LSAT.
But small school environments are an advantage to a lot of academics in general, not just grad school ambitions. Many LACs specialize in academic subjects that dont necessarily feed into grad programs, like Harvey Mudd and engineering, or Williams and Amherst and finance
The well-rounded education you receive at an LAC is beneficial for most any career path, really
wellesley making us limit our responses to “two thoughtful paragraphs” is weird because my paragraphs look so chunky 😭 ts just a minor detail but it’s a little annoying 💔
i heard it doesnt matter as long as its under 400
@junior field a2c faq (or a text pinned anywhere in this server) should’ve a list of colleges with hidden supplements
I can’t take them
i mean you could create one if we contribute to the list
yeah me too, i guess the rule follower in me is like nooo lol
i didnt get one either dw
Yeah same i didnt get the amherst portal yet
me neither xd
for this swarthmore supplement, am i allowed to submit an academic writing or js creative writing stuff
yo why does my swarthmore portal says this i only reported sat
the checklist says ACT or SAT...
to me it just sounds like a general message i don’t think it actually means both sat and act
ok :)
creative writing
ok :)
did anyone not get their amherst portal yet?
I haven't gotten mine
starting to get concerned lol
they didnt send mine too 🥲
they downloaded my apps tho...
so... imma wait
glad im not the only one in this situation lol
@steel tree am i meant to put smth here in the last box
in the sense of "optional" writing supplements not REALLY being optional
or is this acc js optional
btw i did get a special extension for amherst*
If you want to
This question wasn't on the form last year
But I would capitalise on the chance to show more about yourself
Same here
I read this as like an additional information section for Amherst so I did leave it blank
Oh never mind
I thought you were looking at a different supplement
There’s like one earlier about like an optional additional info section I left blank
But I would recommend doing the one you shared because it’s more so just trying to gauge academic interest
Albeit it only allows for 275 characters
oh ok
oki thanks
lowk is there any way to go about hamilton hello that i should know about
nope
I got it
when did you apply?
2 hours before the dead end
You will get it today dw
i see
my s/o is a senior at williams, i can pass along any questions if you’d like
anyone else haven't gotten the swarthmore portal yet
I haven’t gotten Amherst portal 😔
Please be patient!
is this only for like low income or can anyone fill this out? i just saw this looking for fee waivers and stuff but idk if im allowed to do it w/o circumstances
its a yes or no question bro
Anyone can
I used it
i got mine
ong congrats on umich!!!!
i mean you're certainly free to fill it out but if it's not an issue for you to pay the $80 then it's not really intended for you
Oh I just got my portal too
Thanks!!
i still haven't gotten my swarthmore portal 💀
wait i thought u did
bro can u withdraw app ty
I’m not committed to Mich 😭
Also my app is buns I’m probably not competition
Yeah
Announcement alr out but appreciate it
haven’t gotten amherst portal yet
when are they gon send ts 😢
theirs takes awhile because it's a different system than most schools use
you may be able to login if you press forgot password
LOL
do you guys have any advice for the swarthmore optional video
yall should i write the supps for colgate 😭
why does davidson have such a long why us essay 😭
any davidson students help me outtt
There is only one davidson goat here
who..
@cunning sable
oh yes i forgot 
you should
you have like 20 days
the deadline for supps id feb 1 ko colgate
it's in the portal i think
how necessary is it? and should i do all 3?
i think doing all three is lik every good?
but idk man
you can if you have time
alr alr bet thanks
Even if i apply thru commonapp?
in common app there is no supplement
only in the portal
but i would say the question are prettty specific and i think max 2 should be okay
all 3 may seem bad(?)
ahhh i did the 3rd one already
cause they take fit and demonstrated interest and their unique values/attributes very seriously
They do?
i don't think it will be a problem even then
Also 300 words isn’t that long
yo technoblade whered you get accepted
Pitt
yeah imma just ball bruh idk
YOOO WWW
what did you do for that last poem like prompt
its not a poem. its a complete the sentence
that is an werid prompt
idk less for me to write 
well yeah but like you only have so less words to complete a sentence
well true
13 word limit for each one so
i didn't get Hamilton interview (no spot lol), it won't harm right?
that is pretty less man
as long as you request for it its good
i mean more than a lot of places i would say. obviously most colleges are gonna care about that but a small college like davidson is really going to want to see that you’re going to be part of the community
yeah the why colgate in 13 words is crazy
and values are a big part of what makes davidson davidson
well there is no spot to book so i didn't getit
gng what do yall think of union college
ohh
u seeking full aid?
if full aid then union is very hard
what iss your efc?
as an intl so im kinda cooked already
30k per year
I like to think I showed this
prolly
If this is the case I’m less worried about Wake Forest next week
oh good luck!!! and im not an ao but i think requesting counts for a lot more even if they're not able to provide an interviewer
You’ll get in
well all i can do is pray
i think you will be pretty good then
yeah
we send a lot of people to union every year bc we’re an hour away
it’s a fine school idk what its strengths are though
engineering at lac
oh shi thats neat
i mean as they call it you become a "union" of a lot of things
Is there any grace period for haverford?
guys when is the swarthmore video response due
Oh
I have to do this too
Man so many vid responses to do
Abstracts under what label?
If you're trying to submit it for supplemental option B it doesn't qualify
all our snow disappeared
i'm so sad 💔
it’s so weird 😭 but it reminds me of when it was warm and sunny and i miss those days
bro fr it makes me forget we're in january
Do you have any pics of sawyer lol
I love the architecture of that library
totally lol let me go search
As like an additional supplementary material I could submit to the college through the portal (not writing supplement)
ok you can tell i like the main stair area lol
sawyer on the left
is that called the New Quad?
I love love love how they chose to keep the three floors open
so the ceilings are super high
it makes the space feel so much more grand than a typical library
wait do u have any pics of the Science Center?
and are there any good study spots inside it lol
i’m actually not sure idk what people call it lol
wait good thing you asked i’m approaching it rn lol
technically the building on the right is the science center ig but it’s kinda all the same to me lol
no way lol
omg the berkshires in the back
mmm there’s schow science library which is technically not in the science center but it’s still in science quad
I don't like rural but lowk mountains are cool
let me search it up lol
ohh I didn't realize they had the telescope thing on the roof there lol
from left to right these are the physics, chem, and bio buildings, schow is like inside between physics and chem lol
omg yes it’s super cool
dont they do like weekly showing?
best subjects
not here, it’s at the milham planetarium/hopkins observatory! that building is in berkshire quad, they’ll do weekly planetarium shows on friday nights. but if it’s a clear night and you can see the stars they will take you up to the rooftop of the physics building and they will let you use the telescopes! it’s super cool, they were doing some work the one time i went and they were taking pictures of stuff with the big telescope and they even ended up printing a photo of something they took for me lol
Tbh I don't know because I didn't do this
lot of snow out when i was out at night 😾 (staying at williams rn)
right cause the same day 😭😭
that looks more familiar 💀
lacs are the best
Yeah small community better bonding that’s lac
and interdisciplinary to a great extent
and almost every lac has a pretty campus
so pretty 😭 i have to take pics every time i walk outside lol
i also like how integrated they are with the town, when i toured yale i liked how walking on campus involved like crosswalks and traffic lights and walking past small businesses that weren’t part of the school and you also get that here
YALE MENTIONED

it’s in scotland bru
i got this picture in the fall and i would literally die for the fall colors
help 😭
or maybe work for williams social handles
omg i got one of my pics posted on the insta once
omg i think taking pictures for williams would be so fun but i don’t have camera experience or a portfolio lol
for me iphone is the best camera lol
And seeing your clicked photos I am pretty sure it’s an iphone
It’s already good enough see the colors dude
LOL YEAH
Nice one I finally got my Swarthmore ports 😭
When is Davidson's peer recommendation due? 😔
as soon as you can get it in pretty much
idt it has to be finished right on the deadline (just like other recommendations) but you want to hurry up with it
since your application is incomplete until it’s finished
jst submitted hamilton hello🥹 i couldn't get an interview though since they were all booked from jan 5th
lowk scared asf but it is what it is...!
congrats$!!
well yes
@junior field updated time
yay!!
Alright. Thank you!
@round jolt do you remember how long your middlebury interview was
i’m having mine saturday i believe
it lasted 20 minutes
also good luck on your interview
tysm
hopefully yours went well too
20 min isn’t bad at all
help
is it a good idea to write course names like "MATH XXXX" in my supps?
the full name takes on a lot of words....
youb can but your sentence should still be clear about what the class is teaching because AOs don't have every course code memorized
chat can i be whimsical in my colgate 13 word sups
like capitalization and extra letters in the end
not overdoing it but yeah
is it alr?
does anyone know when r rhodes ea decisions coming up today?
13 words is crazy
at least its not brown's 3 word supp
so wtf do i even do
i have a 30 composite but for some reason holy cross automates my composite
and it thinks its a 22
and i cant edit the box 💀
Wait where is the science score
idk about act sorry for being dumb
its not apart of my composite
i can add it in but even then my composite is still wrong
for some reason when i add it in it jumps to a 28 even though science isnt apart of the composite 💀
What school is this?
you get a pass
oberlin decision out tomorrow im
scared
YOU GOT THIS TWIN
You got this! (Huge Phoebe Fan here)
yay
i am patiently waiting for new phoebe
Same 🙏
hamilton sending me emails dont #TEST me

@steep ivy oberlin in 7 hours
GOOD LUCK OBIE APPLICANTS

You never know

Goodluck mate

They better start soon tbh
🤞
mid-ilton
Honestly it doesn’t really matter i didn’t do one and got in, it’s just informative afaik it doesn’t affect your app
Likewise ^ didnt do one either and was admitted
rd bryn mawr i am scared
A message from the President's Office of Amherst College
I applied but lowk I don’t want to live in Clinton
I also applied icl
What the eff do you even do in Utica
But yea the area by hamilton and colgate is actually nothing
Vassar is at least in a real place albeit poughkeepsie
I’d rather be somewhere sketch with real people than the middle of nowhere
Hamilton NY is kind of pretty in the summer but that’s it tbh
No true
Lowk I first wanted to apply to Vassar bc of the train station down to nyc I won’t even gaf
An hour and a half express to grand central is not bad
rip
i was very surprised that this email didn’t end with a tuition increase lol
It is not bad at all
Just the price is annoying
If i could successfully not pay the fare i would but sadly the cops deadass just arrest you they don’t even fine
You gotta stop paying for peak tickets period
I don’t even think they gaf b/w peak and offpeak
nah i never pay peak
its still expensive 😭
its like 40 bucks round trip
Truee
Croton Harmon is like 30 minutes away by car but the fare costs 10 dollar less
The only thing is that they make you pay for parking 24/7
this is true
but i also dont have a car
💯
Nooo
has anyone else received an email from the Williams college operational manager, asking for an academic paper?
I chose not to submit one and I was emailed by a lady who works in the admissions office & she asked if I can submit a humanities paper
The paper is supposed to be optional.
i’ve seen a couple people talking about this, it seems strange because i don’t think the same thing happened during my cycle
to me it seems like it means they’re on the fence regarding your application (meaning they’re taking you seriously!) so i would probably submit something
RD?
ooo, good to know. Thank you for sharing me w/ this info
Yes I applied to Williams RD
It is optional, however I was sent an email by an operational manager, asking if I can submit one
I ended up submitting a paper I wrote over the summer as part of my summer program
yeah i think if they directly emailed you they probably do want one
yup!
I'm sooo cooked
International?
you’re not lol dw
I am a Massachusetts first year applicant
Yeah, don’t worry too much
Oops wrong reply, I meant to reply to dean
I doubt everyone will be asked for an academic paper, I asked other applicants from my school who have not submitted an academic paper & they haven’t received any emails from Williams
- they may have asked me for a paper because my counselor told me that he mentioned how I was an ESL student in his rec. and since Williams is an LAC, they wanna know if I can at least handle humanities courses as I’d assume they r heavy on writing
^^ yes, also this is the first time i’m hearing about this, it could be that it happened last year and i just didn’t hear about it. i also didn’t submit the optional paper so i got in without submitting any papers or them asking me for anything at all
so if you didn’t get any emails i promise you are not cooked 🙏
bro wtf do i write for colgate's," The person I admire most is… "
like i dont wanna write someone i dont really know personally and risk it looking like i have a shallow idea of what to admire but also i dont wanna write any answers that lots of people wouldve written? like ykwim.
im genuinely baffled about what to write. these 13 words have taken be a month. should i lowk just put my mom and move on in life or what should i be looking at while writing it? or how niche can i go without sound like a pretentious douche tryna show off
i think you’re overthinking
who do you genuinely admire the most
my mom
ok so say that
at this point if you’ve been stewing on this question for a month and the super impressive and intellectual response you’re looking for hasn’t come, it’s not going to
just be authentic
Playing with me
Any int student gotten an email from williams or sm?
Dw about it for real
probably 97% (random statistic) of applicants don’t get emails from Williams
yesterday vs today 💀
😭😭😭
possible snow tmr in the charlotte area…. manifesting this for me (it will be a dusting at most)
i love wcfm
omg i got to go to the station once it was super cool
AAAA that's so cool
you lucky dawg
do yk how easy it is to get your own show?
wcfm was acc one reason why i chose to ed williams LOL i listen to it while i do my hw
i actually don’t really know but there are a decent amount of freshmen who do so if you really want to i don’t think it should be too difficult
yay !!!!!!
one of my friends has a slot
their website is saur cool too
i didn’t even go cause of wcfm LOL it was cause we had mid-semester check ins with our JAs and my JA decided to take me there instead of us just going to a dining hall and talking over a meal so it was super cool
omg that sounds like sm fun
it is also in the basement of one of the first-year dorms so if you get placed into prospect it’ll be super convenient for you 🙊
options options !!!
isnt prospect the nicest first-year dorm?
that's what ive read
YES iirc it’s all singles and the rooms are super spacious and they have a really nice desk area 😭
OOO
i might ask for a single then
bc i was reddit doomscrolling on r/williams
LMAO
omg yikes yeah
do yk anyone w that problem
tbh i haven’t had any of those encounters yet so we’re in the clear for now
thank the lord !
not rn but one of the buildings gets shit on a lot cause everyone says it has rats but i don’t think they’ve had that problem yet
lets hope they never have that problem again
williams please renovate your dorms please please thankyou
i think the williams website literally says somewhere that rodents and BATS are probable in the dorms 😭😭😭😭 thank god they haven’t shown up yet
😭
but yeah i think you’re good with a single or a double 🥸 and if you get placed in berkshire quad even if you’re not in prospect you will be very close to the station

i have come to love my room despite it being small
phew !!!!
thas all you need

i get so sad when i think about moving out because i love freshman year

i love my room and my entry and my JAs and lowkey williams tends to baby the freshmen a lot but i appreciate that cause i’m gonna go into sophomore year and they’re not gonna have anything special for me 😔

wtf is grinnell on

Bro I just told them to update my course 😭
Am I supposed to write a fkin y course essay
bye 💀
Btw this lady doesn’t most of the time know what she is talking about so you might as well send another email
bro wtf 😭
well yes they don’t usually have the director of admissions responding to emails lol
i think the comment is moreso that shes brand new idk
Eh… true
But who tf would respond to a change in coursework like that?
when you contact a college you’re almost always going to be talking to some sort of assistant to start with unless you email a specific individual directly
yeah i mean that’s not a great response
it seems like she didn’t understand what you were asking about
I was very clear about ts
or she’s been trained to respond a certain way to certain types of messages and she misinterpreted what you were saying
And all other uni said ok
you can just respond and clarify that there will be no impact and you’re just asking to add a course you’ve already taken to your application
or whatever it is you’re saying
Dear Grinnell College Admissions Office,
I hope you are doing well. I’m writing to provide a brief update to my application regarding my coursework.
In my application, I noted that I had applied for a university-level Real Analysis program. I’m happy to share that my enrollment has now been confirmed, and I will be taking Real Analysis through Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies’ University-Level Online (SPCS ULO) starting in the second semester.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Please let me know if there is anything else I should provide.
This is wt I sent them
Now I’m so confused
Wt is she trying to say
Like how would this course help me to prepare for grinnell?
it seems like she thought that the course might continue into the summer or the next school year
or that you were writing to tell them about some issue
she’s not asking you to justify the class
Heather,
Thank you for your response. To clarify, I just wanted to inform admissions that I will be taking this course during the second semester of my 12th grade year so that it could be considered when my application is evaluated. It won’t affect my ability to prepare for or attend Grinnell.
Thank you!
all you have to say
👍
lowkey it was your fault here this is confusing as hell💀
tf u mean?
😭
like how is this confusing
yeah she thought you might do this while attending grinnell
i mean... its a course for HS students though
Like you didn’t mention second semester of senior year
and i've note it down in add info section
They don’t know buddy
She didn’t read addl info before replying
y would one think its second semester of freshman year
if im not even admitted
thats y i wrote down the full name of the program
Okay bro leave it
does bro not know wt pre-collegiate is
ngl, idk if she knows a lot of admission stuff
seems like shes new to this kind of field

Fr
wesleyan 🥹
Yes
do u care abt food
Hello, I have a w&l interview tomorrow, I was wondering if there are any tips from anyone who had experience in general?
i didn’t apply to w&m but
w&l*
but just be yourself
interviewers can usually tell when you’re forcing a response/being insincere
also ask questions about their experience, they’d only interview if they loved the school
One thing im worried abt is the why this school question.. 😔😔😔
Cus im assuming they’ll probably ask that
Ofc
They will
Y wouldn’t they
So do some research
(Use perplexity or grok)
And watch some vids
Mmm ok will take note of that thank you !!
if you have tiktok
look up day in the life of washington and lee student
or smth
those videos helped me
there’s def some on youtube and other platforms dw
Idk maybe their strong alumini network, the honour system or the opportunity go do an intership early. Attended a webinar by w&l and they kept talking abt these
tbh, id rather ask them about alumni network
ts can be highly biased ig
and honor system too
u never know until u get there
so u cant rly say its rly amazing before experiencing
id recommend u to mention academic strength (def do mention benefits of LACs), programs, courses, profs... etc
and when they ask u "do you have any question?"
please please please do ask question
a meaningful question
dont ask "whats the faculty:student"
u can ask alumni network, honor codes, unique campus culture... etc (but I think its best to say "I've heard that ___ is ____. What was ur experience about __")
This way, ig they can tell that ur rly interested in this institution
anyone get an email from washington and lee about johnson scholarship finalist decisions coming out tomorrow?
Yeah but tbh I'm not expecting much
why not?
