All Liberal Arts Colleges (LACs) (2025-2026)

[upper glade]

[vocal schooner]

Yeh

[crisp coyote]

are you going to withdraw?

[rocky pelican]

And apparently the whole family is the same…

[crisp coyote]

oh yah

[vocal schooner]

Withdraw?

[crisp coyote]

because you’re committed to und

[rocky pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/carrie-bradshaw-sex-and-the-city-satc-smoking-reflective-gif-7282787206784511167

[vocal schooner]

I haven’t committed yet

If I did I would be verified

😭

[crisp coyote]

oh

[vocal schooner]

Waiting on other schools

[crisp coyote]

but would you go over ND?

[vocal schooner]

Bates?

[crisp coyote]

yeah

[vocal schooner]

No unfortunately

Even though it’s a really good school

[upper glade]

can you recommend me to joe spir

[vocal schooner]

I wish I could live out two lives at different schools

[tough mantle]

What is ND again?

[vocal schooner]

I don’t think that’s how it works… 😢

[tough mantle]

Notre Dame?

[vocal schooner]

Notre dame

[tough mantle]

That’s a cool pull

Congrats

[vocal schooner]

Like even if a bates professor recommended you it’ wouldn’t make much of a difference

Let alone an admitted student

[vocal schooner]

Tysm! 🙏

[upper glade]

nah this would lowk

[loud helm]

no i have a friend who got a rec from a professor at a school

[upper glade]

at least my reed a and bates wl kinda tells me that

[loud helm]

and she got rejected ed

[upper glade]

my app wasnt stinky

or smth

[muted cloud]

BATES WL TWINS

YEAHH!!!

[upper glade]

I just need to avoid getting classshaped at one school

[vocal schooner]

You were close that’s for sure

Maybe SK is pain

SK IN CN is really competitive

And SG as well honestly

[upper glade]

yeah

[vocal schooner]

People underestimate SG applicants

But academically all SG applicants are like 42 pointers

[upper glade]

top LACs can only pick like

3-4 MAX per citizenship

[vocal schooner]

Yeh

[upper glade]

even accounting for yield

so

[vocal schooner]

It’s tough

[upper glade]

who knows

[vocal schooner]

Actually

It might not be the case

[tough mantle]

College apps are insane sometimes

[upper glade]

at least I know i have a pretty unique profile

[vocal schooner]

Let me find an email from Hoffman

He said it was more like 6

[upper glade]

per country?

[vocal schooner]

1 ED1 1 ED2 4 RD (yield is 25%)

[loud helm]

u guys don’t need a perfect profile for apps

it’ll be fine

[upper glade]

ohh

[vocal schooner]

Total 3/4 yielded

[tough mantle]

I’m a prime example of this

[vocal schooner]

It’s RD that’s the issue

[upper glade]

for intls at swarthmore???

thats wild

[vocal schooner]

Yeh

[upper glade]

oh okay

[loud helm]

i am too! test op, 94/100, and side quest ecs

[vocal schooner]

On another day I’ll find proof

But my eyes are closing

[upper glade]

so W&A does not have ed2

[vocal schooner]

If I rmbr I’ll send it here tmrw

[upper glade]

might have like an extra spot

oooooooo

lessgo

[tough mantle]

I had a couple of cool things in my app but really I think the published author rec saved my ass

[upper glade]

@smoky nacelle WE are cohosting a WCFM show

orbit special

[vocal schooner]

@upper glade

He also talks about contacts

[upper glade]

this is swat specific tho right

[loud helm]

i had cool things in my app, short docu, cnn feature, but it all boiled down to my location

[vocal schooner]

Yeh definitely

But it can apply to other LACs as well

[tough mantle]

That’s cool af

[vocal schooner]

I don’t think swat would differ much from Pomona

Or Davidson

[upper glade]

like emails?

[vocal schooner]

Like on common app

There’s a section for contacts

[upper glade]

oh im def getting hamilton in that logic

lmfao

[upper glade]

ohhh

yeah

so like school visits n stuff might weight in more

[loud helm]

film was soo cool to get into🥹 program screened out docus to a hbo higher up

very cool opportunity

was fun as well

[upper glade]

dk about williams/amherst tho

I mean I think if WASP has low yield thats bc of ivies

but yuh competitive regions' yield would be lower in that sense

plz williams

[tough mantle]

I was in a selective state program for Creative Writing and was a finalist for Drama (you can’t go for two sadly)

[muted cloud]

ivy yield is lower than people realize because they all feed into each other

lol

[crisp coyote]

kid tells me her ECs are shit and gets into bates with a full ride one day later

[glass hornet]

I m on this sub 24/7 just in case Grinnell surprise dropped

[crisp coyote]

we'll ping u frfr

[muted cloud]

grinnell glaze of doom and fucking despair

[loud helm]

STOP THIS MADNESS

IM CRINE

[tough mantle]

Taj you’re an impressive candidate

[foggy cape]

i’m only gonna email georgetown prob

[tough mantle]

Admit it

[foggy cape]

my other 2 didn’t rly leave a lasting impression on me

[crisp coyote]

fair fair

[vocal schooner]

I stacked out bates

Maybe that played a factor

[crisp coyote]

im going to email my georgetown AO either way no matter what happens

[upper glade]

makes sense

[vocal schooner]

It’s the little things that matter

[muted cloud]

you will NEVER catch me sending a loci

[upper glade]

with that long email too lmao

[crisp coyote]

and ill probably also email my Arkansas AO

[upper glade]

yeah ong

[vocal schooner]

If I could list out

Every single pointer

I would

It’s in my two hour video actually

[loud helm]

i have to tell my middle school math teacher that lowkenuinely saved my life

[upper glade]

I have a very niche thing for my swat contacts

hope that pushes me in

lmao

[vocal schooner]

I listed out every factor that could affect

[muted cloud]

I have 4 people I always tell about my acceptances

[vocal schooner]

A college admission decision

[crisp coyote]

i ran around telling pretty much every teacher i had when i got my frist acceptance

LOL

[muted cloud]

My old AP Lang teacher, AP Bio teacher, Creative Writing teacher, and then my Guidance Counselor

[crisp coyote]

half my acceptances ive like told no one about

[muted cloud]

just because they helped me so much with my process

[upper glade]

I mean basically everything you have control on commonapp right

[muted cloud]

i bring up my waitlists in passing but all my acceptances I'll post about

my one singular rejection I dont even bother

[crisp coyote]

do u post on insta??

[glass hornet]

I don’t tell ppl my acceptance

[muted cloud]

nah i dont have friends like that

[foggy cape]

i only tell my mom and my friends

so most people i’m close to i guess lol

[crisp coyote]

yeah in my school its lowkey rude to talk about the small acceptances

unless ur into like an ivy or t30 no one talks about

it

[vocal schooner]

Yeh basically

[glass hornet]

I fear ppl who will get jealous and do things to me

[foggy cape]

yeah same it’s lowkey toxic but wtv

[vocal schooner]

I spent 1 hour on essays in total

[crisp coyote]

i mean yeah it is but its also good for ppl who have been like rejected and stuff

[vocal schooner]

Hmm

[glass hornet]

Next Friday is going to be the D-day for us

My rejection streak be like 67

[rose ruin]

several LACs are out this Friday right?

[upper glade]

yupp

[muted cloud]

didnt case come out yesterday bc my friend said he got no email

LOL

guess case western just ghosted bro instead

yes i know this isnt lac related

✌️

[glass hornet]

Case western is the school I believe they are doing yield protect

[muted cloud]

what the fuck is that

[upper glade]

like reject or wl you

bc they know you not coming

[glass hornet]

I never filled out the defer form but they still waitlisted me

I did not consent the waitlist

I also unsubscribe them and they still spams me

[tough mantle]

Don’t worry Brandeis deferred me

[upper glade]

bum school

davidson mogs

[tough mantle]

It is lol

[tough mantle]

Indeed

[glass hornet]

I think they spent more money on spamming than actually doing real things

[muted cloud]

didnt apply to brandeis

too expensive

[upper glade]

reed

[muted cloud]

reed dumped all of your financial aid money into mail

[upper glade]

reed sent like 10 emails to me before actually sending me my finaid package

[upper glade]

actually

they spent too much on their admission packages

[muted cloud]

dude UR is sending me like a welcome package at some point

[vocal schooner]

Looks can be deceiving ahh moment

[muted cloud]

idk when

[tough mantle]

I got my financial aid package immediately

[upper glade]

speak of the devil

[muted cloud]

all of your money went into graphics btw

[glass hornet]

Bates sent me an whole magazine that’s like an Chanel book

[tough mantle]

I actually got my financial aid package before my acceptance

[muted cloud]

I WANT MY DAMN SPIDER PRIDE

[upper glade]

reasonable

[muted cloud]

how does that make any sense

at all

[tough mantle]

Here

Hope you get financial aid

[rapid creek]

i sure did

[muted cloud]

isnt that the duke guy

[upper glade]

football teams go head to head atp

[muted cloud]

what affiliation does he have with davidson

[upper glade]

cal and cms

[rapid creek]

i have a hallmate who chose here over darty, another over also a variety of UCs including UCLA

[upper glade]

is pomona on its own from cms or

[muted cloud]

valid choice

[glass hornet]

Screw the UCs go Trojans

[upper glade]

how does that work

[foggy cape]

wdym

[muted cloud]

top 5 places to get shot

[foggy cape]

all 5 are on the same plot of land

[rapid creek]

yea we have two sports teams
Pomona-Pitzer
Claremont-Mudd-Scripps

[upper glade]

ohh

[vocal schooner]

Ah oops. Tysm! 🙏

[upper glade]

the sagehens omg

holy aura

[rapid creek]

we have a rivalry too lol, called the 6th Street Rivalry

[glass hornet]

I’ll wear a ucla shirt in my usc reaction video and mention usc on my insta story

[upper glade]

omfg this is so cool

[rapid creek]

oh yea ive heard people choosing here over USC as well

[upper glade]

I shouldve applied

[upper glade]

makes total sense

[rapid creek]

and im sure its a similar story with other top LACs

[upper glade]

heard its next in line to stanford/cal in SF recruiting

for finance or smth at least

pomona n cmc

[tough mantle]

Valid

[glass hornet]

USC’s 100k COA

💔💔💔

[muted cloud]

richmond has like the 4th oldest college football rivalry

with william and mary

[glass hornet]

Team William and Mary

[foggy cape]

pomona is the 2nd best school in cali

[muted cloud]

execution tmrw

[foggy cape]

richmond gives me weird vibes

[glass hornet]

The fact that William and Mary is a public school surprise me

[upper glade]

theres stanford on top and like

[muted cloud]

the vibe check is real

[upper glade]

Cal/LA/Pomona probs take the co-#2 spot

[foggy cape]

it gives white supremacy energy

so does w&m

[rapid creek]

i wouldnt be surprised if there are students here who turned down Stanford ngl
but i cant recall hearing that yet

[foggy cape]

honestly just virginia as a whole

[upper glade]

CMC/USC #3

[muted cloud]

W&L is way more white supremacy energy than Richmond tbf

[rapid creek]

theres def a culture with some of the top national unis that some dont fw

which is valid

and likewise too with LACs

[upper glade]

that would take sum balls lmao

[foggy cape]

stanford has an 82% yield rate

[glass hornet]

Holy

[rapid creek]

yea yield rates for top schools are crazy

[glass hornet]

Go Williams ❤️❤️

[foggy cape]

stanford and uchicago are the highest in the nation if i recall

[rapid creek]

we're like 50-60% i think?

[upper glade]

18% is to MIT or Harvard probs

[tough mantle]

Is 47 a good yield rate?

[upper glade]

thats p high

[rapid creek]

the average is like in the 20s lol

thats high

[upper glade]

like sub 50%

is normal for top schools

its js the ivies

[muted cloud]

and yeah urichmond demographics are kind of balls

[foggy cape]

the reasons are probably almost entirely

1. going to other top schools (location/vibe)
2. financial issue

[upper glade]

yup

[rapid creek]

like for reference many of the UCs bar UCLA and Cal have like 20-30% yield rates

[upper glade]

and ppl are usually gonna find a way for it to work financially

[foggy cape]

i have a friend who goes to stanford and his sister also got into stanford but chose vandy full ride

[upper glade]

if its stanford

[upper glade]

thats totally fair

[foggy cape]

yea

[upper glade]

full pay bro not understanding ts

[muted cloud]

i wouldnt wanna go to school with my sibling either

LOL

[upper glade]

[tough mantle]

Both are awesome

[foggy cape]

the brother is younger

[faint sleet]

is food at pomona good

[muted cloud]

oh wrd

[upper glade]

median outcome for top schools are pretty much similar

like

[muted cloud]

family of intellectuals yo

[foggy cape]

stanford doesn’t give merit aid

[muted cloud]

full ride to vanderbilt is literally

[foggy cape]

i think it was

[upper glade]

vandy has 3 full ride programs

yeah

[muted cloud]

i applied to none

🙏

[rapid creek]

pretty solid compared to colleges in general

but in my experience the Harvey Mudd and Pitzer food is better

[muted cloud]

i applied to the Johnson at W&L

[upper glade]

ed2?

[foggy cape]

cali will always have better food than the east coast

[muted cloud]

rejected as expected lol

[faint sleet]

ok

nice

[upper glade]

oh

[faint sleet]

pomona comes this friday or saturday

we are all getting in

[rapid creek]

i wouldnt say UCLA quality (having eaten at their halls), but definitely pretty good and above the average

[upper glade]

I think vandy comes out with the decisions

no way im winnign it tho

my essay stinks

[muted cloud]

what decisions do you have so far

[upper glade]

“There’s a Labubu on Marx’s grave.”
That meme lives rent-free in my head.
Though the craze around that doll seems dead, every time it resurfaces, I’m reminded of Political Economy. A late-stage capitalist pop icon from a once-Marxist society, perched beside a revolutionary who critiqued such symbols.

[faint sleet]

i mean pomona has way better grad school placement so its already better than the UC's

[upper glade]

my first four lines

for the cornelius vanderbilt scholarship essay

[muted cloud]

what schools were those

[half moon]

ong vro

i've already started making transfer plans 😭

[rapid creek]

this is true

[muted cloud]

i mean a waitlist from USC is pretty good

how many more schools do you have on your list

ah

[rapid creek]

USC doesnt do waitlists

for RD youre either accepted or rejected

[muted cloud]

i wouldnt know I hate the whole state of california

[half moon]

god damn

[rapid creek]

small amounts of people get guaranteed transfers and spring starts but thats again a small percent of people

[idle bobcat]

I love stern

Hello

[upper glade]

SC?

[idle bobcat]

Oh okay

[rapid creek]

[sharp belfry]

[rapid creek]

@crisp coyote is this a MBTA reference

[foggy cape]

😭

[foggy cape]

clearly it is

[muted cloud]

why would they do it in the most northern part of the west

[foggy cape]

i love mbta

[muted cloud]

that is horrific planning

[foggy cape]

the trains look cuter than nyc

[sharp belfry]

girl i know they wouldn’t it’s just funny because the emails aren’t important to me

yall are so pedantic

[foggy cape]

😭

[sharp belfry]

OHH YOU MEAN SEATTLE

LMAO i live in alaska so that is not the most northern part of the west to me

[muted cloud]

i wont deny this claim

[rapid creek]

The next stop is Expo Park/USC. Transfer here for the University of Southern California 💔

[foggy cape]

define gay2c

[crisp coyote]

[crisp coyote]

there's someone who makes MBTA gifs

https://tenor.com/view/train-boston-mbta-train-wreck-train-derailment-gif-5866478224767999000

[rapid creek]

https://tenor.com/view/adrian-adrian-explain-our-friend-group-mbta-boston-gif-12759509265738038513

[crisp coyote]

theyve been making new ones recently

[muted cloud]

as a non-new englander Im so lost rn

[foggy cape]

makes sense

[crisp coyote]

the MBTA is the massachusetts bay transportation authority

they run our subway and our buses and our commuter rail

[crisp coyote]

why did you go to Chestnut Hill

[foggy cape]

bc

[crisp coyote]

oh

[muted cloud]

are they shddy

[crisp coyote]

yes and no

[muted cloud]

typical rail i guess

[foggy cape]

i’ve actually done nothing the entire day

[crisp coyote]

do you have subway where you are from

[foggy cape]

except make a bad illustration for my newspaper because we can’t use pics off google

[crisp coyote]

if i know where ur from ill tell you if its shitty or not

or whether youll thnk it is

[rapid creek]

Houston 🗣️

[muted cloud]

not where I am currently but I've been to Philly enough lol

[foggy cape]

nyc dc sf chicago and boston are the top 5

[muted cloud]

theres SOME metro there

[crisp coyote]

its better than philly

a lot better than philly

its worse than chicago and nyc and for some, DC

[rapid creek]

ehh idk about SF being that high

as much as I love BART and Caltrain

[foggy cape]

not in order

[crisp coyote]

muni 🤮

[foggy cape]

you’re lowkey right

[crisp coyote]

my personal ranking is nyc, chicago, boston, dc, sf, philly, la, seattle

[rapid creek]

everyone SHITS on Muni and i so wanna experience it

[crisp coyote]

seattle is really good they just need more

[rapid creek]

and VTA

[foggy cape]

LA doesn’t even deserve to be ranked

[crisp coyote]

muni is AWFUL

[floral coral]

in order its nyc boston dc chicago sf

[rapid creek]

LA is okay tbh

[floral coral]

seattle is going to get top 5 in the next 10 years

LA is fine

[crisp coyote]

never been on the VTA

[crisp coyote]

yeah sound transit has been going so crazy recently its so good

[rapid creek]

needs more frequent headways, and it has issues with its LRT

[crisp coyote]

the MBTA just fixed up so much

[rapid creek]

but its a lot better than what people perceive

[foggy cape]

just in terms of how many people use it

[crisp coyote]

but we need to be expanding more

[floral coral]

seattle is one of the best cities rn tbh

super yimby too

[foggy cape]

LA is a lot lower than the others i’d say

[crisp coyote]

we dont have any plans for expansion after we finish fixing

[rapid creek]

fair

but i have Measure M hopium

[floral coral]

im scared seattle's new mayor is going to curtail some yimby developments though tbh

[rapid creek]

and ive been able to use it a lot more than I thought I would

[foggy cape]

i’ve never been to seattle or DC

[loud helm]

NYC DA BEST RAHHH

[rapid creek]

being from a college town not even yet on it

lol

[loud helm]

i don’t even know what we’re talking about

[foggy cape]

if i get into georgetown i’ll visit DC and admitted students day before committing

[floral coral]

NYC metro is one of the best in the world imo

[chrome latch]

Hell nah

[rapid creek]

didnt NYC recently get new open gangway cars

[floral coral]

outside of asia i feel like it's easily top 5

asia is just too good with trains

[rapid creek]

open gangway cars are so underrated its so fun to walk up and down an empty train offpeak hours

i did that on one of the late night Shanghai metro trains

[floral coral]

it is

[floral coral]

lolol

[floral coral]

georgetown would be so nice if there was a metro stop nearby lol

theyre just stranded from public transport

[foggy cape]

they’re not?

oh

that’s bad

[floral coral]

DC metro is great but for some reason skips that one part of DC

[rapid creek]

yea georgetown has infamously been cut off from the DC metro

[muted cloud]

I've lived in bumfuck nowhere my whole life this conversation is going right over my head

[floral coral]

i live in nowhere too dw

[foggy cape]

how are you supposed to travel dc without a car

busses?

[floral coral]

i live in the upper peninsula......

[rapid creek]

theyve been planning a line for a while i think but its always been pushed back and difficult to plan

[rapid creek]

metro goes to IAD

and i think DCA is close enough via buses

[muted cloud]

That's certainly

A take

[floral coral]

its hard to argue against it

[rapid creek]

and Amtrak goes to Union Station which is like the center of the city and Metro system

[muted cloud]

Drug problem in Seattle is abysmal

[floral coral]

cheap housing, skyrocketing salaries, a lot of new development, and overall just a nice place

[floral coral]

it's whatever

the drug problem in my town is worse im ngl

[muted cloud]

Idk I have no interest in the west coast anyway

East coaster 4 life

[stiff hornet]

hello

[stiff hornet]

don’t sleep on Midwest!

[rapid creek]

scratch that DCA has its own Metro stop too

[stiff hornet]

u deadass

[muted cloud]

I considered UW Madison for a time

[stiff hornet]

a lot of my friends go to UP

for vacations n shit

[twilit scarab]

i mean, it's really complicated and does some parts really well while completely shitting the bed everywhere else

there's more bed shitting than otherwise

[crisp coyote]

yeah

im SOOOO excited

im going on THURSDAY

aaaah

if i get into anywhere im going to tour lowkey

except harvard

i will also be going to any and all tufts admitted students day

😛

[stiff hornet]

u got in?

[glass hornet]

If u think u will never get into a college then ur most likely going to get in

[stiff hornet]

Elaborate

[glass hornet]

That’s what most admitted ppl think

[twilit scarab]

reverse jinxing works

[foggy cape]

gotta be cap

[stiff hornet]

I mean I thought I had no chance at Denison

[glass hornet]

So chat, WE WILL GET INTO ALL THE COLLEGES NEXT WEEK

🔥🔥🔥

[twilit scarab]

wait it's next week

the big week oh no

[crisp coyote]

not yet

but i think i will

i have like peak DI

like lowkirkenuinely the most DI out of any applicant

im not taking it for granted but i hope i will

[stiff hornet]

how

[glass hornet]

See, this is a example

[crisp coyote]

i live very close to tufts

so ive toured etc

[glass hornet]

JUST TRUST

[stiff hornet]

Medford devent

decent

[rocky pelican]

A2TUFTS

I wanna meet as many a2moots as i can at admitted student days

[rapid creek]

delaying your first train on a Sunday morning is the Muni way 🔥

[devout spindle]

Had to cancel my tufts tour bc of family emergency #PMO

I did register tho 👀 and I did the virtual tour 👀

[crisp coyote]

ripp

[twilit scarab]

1 train a minute for 10 minutes and then an hour long gap in service, i love the j church 🔥

[rocky pelican]

i got rejected from tufts fly in #DEMONSTRATEDINTEREST

[stiff hornet]

Denison isn’t a reach for most tho

Like it is for me

Feather why don’t u ed tufts

[devout spindle]

Omg I only applied to one fly in I just realized

Columbia

And that’s cuz they emailed me

[crisp coyote]

i didnt apply to any

[devout spindle]

They didn’t want me but told me to apply for realsies

[crisp coyote]

because it's not my top choice

[devout spindle]

https://tenor.com/view/lollipop-spongebob-squarepants-happy-glad-gif-13223159

[crisp coyote]

i did EA georgetown

and my top choice is harvard

would i go to tufts? maybe

i LOVE tufts

but not enough to ED

[glass hornet]

Tuft is too TUFF

[stiff hornet]

So did u rea

[stiff hornet]

At lax

[crisp coyote]

yeah i REA georgetown

and EA like 7 other schools

[stiff hornet]

ah valid

Hate me for this but tufts campus is one of the worst

For top colleges

[glass hornet]

I didn’t do George Town cuz they require all sat scores

[crisp coyote]

i would have rea harvard but the comp at my school was diabolical

[crisp coyote]

i did georgetown because they did LOLL

[stiff hornet]

What do yall think of this move by many top schools

[crisp coyote]

interesting, why do you think so?

[crisp coyote]

i personally like it for completely selfish reasons

[devout spindle]

Ooohh requiring all sats see evil

I bombed my first one and I was in like junior year

Forgot to study

[stiff hornet]

Same

[glass hornet]

I got a 880 on my first try

[stiff hornet]

I only took two

[glass hornet]

💀

[stiff hornet]

When was this

My first no study was 1480

[glass hornet]

Senior year

💀💀💀

[crisp coyote]

like in my opinion, if the rigor of the SAT is too high for you, then you probably will not succeed at elite schools where most of your grade is exam based

[glass hornet]

True

[crisp coyote]

it's not like you can avoid exams in college

[devout spindle]

Fair enough but I Gen think I was just stupid for choosing to take that first SAT

In the middle of junior year AP season p sure

The next two went fine

[crisp coyote]

i understand a lot of the extenuating circumstances but at the same time there are a lot fewer of them now and theres still exceptions for some of them

[glass hornet]

I might just end up committing to the school that gives me the most money

I don’t want to spent too much of my parents money

[crisp coyote]

yeah, the one thing i dont like about test mandatory is that it does favor non-first gen applicants and it hurts those at title I schools or other schools where people dont apply to as many elite schools

because its hard to know when to take it at first

[devout spindle]

V true

I keep seeing sophomores at my school trying to take it and it’s like slow down bro

[glass hornet]

I know a freshman who got a 1510

Let’s chill

🙏🏻

[devout spindle]

Also never really liked how you have to go out of your way to review specific SAT concepts on top of your other classes, esp if you’re doing it alone and don’t have a tutor or anything

Then again a lot of the skills needed for the sat are just important in general for college so idk

[crisp coyote]

i personally took it nov/march of my jr yr and i thought htat was fine

[swift hatch]

i mean open curriculum, needblind, my counselor had 6 kids in my country admitted there

[devout spindle]

Unless you’re going for English

[devout spindle]

November of jr year is surprising

[crisp coyote]

interesting, i personally found that my classes covered all of the SAT topics but i also go to a public school where like half the class applies to harvard so i cant really talk

[rapid creek]

one of my friends bagged like a 1580 or 90 and ended up committing to a UC, so his score didnt even matter with his college commitment

[crisp coyote]

its p normal where i am i guess

[rapid creek]

test scores are just one part of your app

[devout spindle]

I def think junior year English helped me a lot, and while i did already know the math stuff I think having to have it really nailed down and quick for pre calc also helped

[devout spindle]

https://tenor.com/view/severance-mr-milcheck-true-morgan-freeman-dylan-gif-6682673649349126035

[crisp coyote]

also, test scores can even help people from low income backgrounds show their merit because of the standardization

which i think is the reason why dartmouth went test mandatory again

[devout spindle]

I think it can go either way imo

Does help but also favors ppl who can afford sat tutors and stuff

I mean school is kinda like that in general too so what can you do ig

[crisp coyote]

yeah, and i think that those kids who are like really really cracked it can help them stand out

because they may not have opportunities to do like fancy research the same as rich kids do

but most people can take the SAT

[devout spindle]

That’s also true

[stiff hornet]

@glass hornet Pomona financials?

I meant Florida

[glass hornet]
