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

[fickle tundra]

and will be out in less than a week

i told him no

💀

[keen granite]

that’s rlly good on you man i hope it works out in favor for you and everyone 🤞🫶

[muted cloud]

He told me he doesn't think I'd be taking it from someone else but said he'd ask his boss today

[vocal schooner]

What scholarship is this

[muted cloud]

It's for one of my local Safeties but it's a full ride program

For low income students

[vocal schooner]

Ahhh

[muted cloud]

You have to be invited to apply and I got an invitation like 3 days ago

[vocal schooner]

Local safeties in America?

[fickle tundra]

@vocal schooner what is ur opinion

[muted cloud]

You can read the email I sent to him above

[vocal schooner]

He can submit a quick update

It won’t hurt

[keen granite]

okay hoping for the best 🫡🤞

[vocal schooner]

But it wouldn’t make a big difference since most decisions have been rendered by now

[muted cloud]

Yeah it's about an hour away from where I live

[fickle tundra]

Yeah same thoughts

[muted cloud]

This was the email he was replying to

[vocal schooner]

AOs aren’t gonna see that update and think, wow this student is annoying. I should change his decision.

They aren’t also going to see that update, and say wow we must accept him. Universities have enough valedictorians already.

[muted cloud]

Jst submit it, won't hurt him and it could potentially help

I say potentially

But that's better than nothing

[muted cloud]

Exactly--holistic review puts less emphasis on things like that and if he's going from near top of his class most likely to valedictorian its like

Negligible

[stiff hornet]

When Lafayette

Gm yall

[muted cloud]

Uhhh

Soon

Lafayette my beloved

[stiff hornet]

Did u apply?

[stiff hornet]

It’s my top choice

[muted cloud]

Yeah and I interviewed

[stiff hornet]

Could I dm

[muted cloud]

Idc lol

Go ahead

[glass hornet]

3 more days until the big day

Everyone lock in

[merry egret]

Am I cooked if I didn't?

[merry egret]

Had no idea they offered interviews

[tough mantle]

Any LACs out today for y’all or nah?

[glass hornet]

Nope. If Boston college count as one

[tough mantle]

BC is cool

[muted cloud]

Lafayette has increased selectivity over the past few years but it's not like it's required

I did it because they were one of my top choices

[merry egret]

did u apply to lehigh?

[tough mantle]

I didn’t do the Wake Forest interview and got in, so you always still have a chance with Lafayette.

[glass hornet]

I feel like WF is a LAC

But it’s a national uni

[muted cloud]

Yes

[carmine light]

If Williams is releasing on March 20th, is it safe to assume the rest of wasp will also release March 20th?

[empty knoll]

yes swarthmore has been confirmed already

[tough mantle]

So it depends on if Amherst wants to try and be unique or not?

[carmine light]

I love Amherst

[empty knoll]

they wont be surely

[empty knoll]

WE love amherst

[main kite]

yes this pissed me off so bad

[stiff hornet]

Anyone think Laf could drop today

Or before Thursday

[cyan moss]

isnt pomona earlier

isnt pomona 19th

and swarth/amherst/williams/bowdoin are in the 20th

[glossy lagoon]

same

[main kite]

[tough mantle]

Oh so Pomona is the one who thinks they’re special

[empty knoll]

[glossy lagoon]

[vocal schooner]

Ahhhh

[muted cloud]

[astral knot]

or smth

[cunning plover]

Oh crap 4 results this week for me 2 LACs

[steep ivy]

i want to know my decisions already but at the same time i don’t want this limbo period to end

once we get decisions it’s over yknow 😔

[cunning plover]

Yeah same

I have 8 pending and im not even confident for 1

[tough mantle]

I believe!

[muted cloud]

Nah I wanna know where I'm going

Then again part of that is because pressure is off of me since I have a good offer alr

[glossy lagoon]

I want it to be over

I cant focus on anything else

[muted cloud]

Same lwk

[glossy lagoon]

And im in an eternal state of boredom

Tiredness

And depression

[steep ivy]

atp im gonna have to be a commuter student unless i get into one of my rds

im already mourning

[cunning plover]

The amount of essays that went into this process

i have no idea how i wrote so many

[glossy lagoon]

Where r u goibf

[steep ivy]

i want that residential college experience

[glossy lagoon]

I wrote most of them on the last day

Couldnt lock in

[cunning plover]

Same but i cant mentally commit till i have all decisions

[cunning plover]

My record was bowdoin entire application including all essays and video in under an hour

[sharp belfry]

3 decisions in as many days starting tmrw.. aaaahhh

[cunning plover]

i spent a lot of time on some others though

[muted cloud]

Yeah

I won't commit anywhere because you never know

Until I get decisions back

[steep ivy]

wdym

[cunning plover]

Yeah same mindset i have

[vocal schooner]

A day early

That’s annoying honestly

But o wells

[cunning plover]

Anyone here applied to bowdoin? werent the essays insanely fun to write?

I loved the poem idea for the essay

[sharp belfry]

nah im glad im gonna have pomona and amherst separated by a day tbh

[glossy lagoon]

Where did u get in ea

[cunning plover]

and i think this is the reason im damn glad to have gotten rejected from my ED cause now atl i have options

[glossy lagoon]

Ion remember anything

[steep ivy]

#bowdoinnation

their essay was alright imo

[cunning plover]

they had that poem, and the question was smth like pick a line which resonates with you and the essay was about that

[tough mantle]

Bowdoin had essays?

[steep ivy]

dont want to dox but local schools + cu boulder

[cunning plover]

Optional i think

[muted cloud]

What was their essay again?

[steep ivy]

“optional”

lmao

[cunning plover]

the write about a line from this poem one

I think amherst was my weakest application ngl

[glossy lagoon]

Im used to doing poems

[cunning plover]

i didnt really click with the essay prompts, no part of it felt strong enough for me

[vocal schooner]

They had optional essays

[glossy lagoon]

But eastern poems are so different from western poems

[vocal schooner]

Which were not optional I guess

Most people did those

[steep ivy]

my weakest app was usc since i did ea it was ass

[cunning plover]

Oh i didnt do the bowdoin interview though

i added it to my list after the interview dates were over 😭

[vocal schooner]

Generations of students have found connection and meaning in Bowdoin's “The Offer of the College,” written in 1906 by Bowdoin President William DeWitt Hyde.

To be at home in all lands and all ages;
to count Nature a familiar acquaintance,
and Art an intimate friend;
to gain a standard for the appreciation of others' work
and the criticism of your own;
to carry the keys of the world's library in your pocket,
and feel its resources behind you in whatever task you undertake;
to make hosts of friends...who are to be leaders in all walks of life;
to lose yourself in generous enthusiasms and cooperate with others for common ends –
this is the offer of the college for the best four years of your life.

Which line from The Offer resonates most with you?*
To be at home in all lands and all ages
To count Nature a familiar acquaintance...
...and Art an intimate friend
To gain a standard for the appreciation of others' work and the criticism of your own
To carry the keys of the world's library in your pocket, and feel its resources behind you in whatever task you undertake
To make hosts of friends... who are to be leaders in all walks of life
To lose yourself in generous enthusiasms and cooperate with others for common ends

The Offer represents Bowdoin’s values. Please reflect on the line you selected and how it has meaning to you. (250 words)
Chosen: To carry the keys of the world's library in your pocket, and feel its resources behind you in whatever task you undertake

[glossy lagoon]

All of my essays were ass

[cunning plover]

Oh thats a cool line you chose

[glossy lagoon]

I shouldve just be myself

[cunning plover]

I wrote about
To lose yourself in generous enthusiasms and cooperate with others for common ends

[glossy lagoon]

One time i was applying for an internship ish place and the people reading my app laughed like crazy

At least they told me so

[glass hornet]

I m not ready

Chat

[glossy lagoon]

They thought that it was a joke even though i poured my heart abd soul into it

[glossy lagoon]

Im ready jst release

[vocal schooner]

Oh yeh ig

[vocal schooner]

I managed to get one before it closed

On like December 15

[cunning plover]

Oh i added it to my list like 2nd jan😭

[vocal schooner]

Yep

You needed to be early for the alumni interview

[glossy lagoon]

I got no interview so far

[steep ivy]

[glossy lagoon]

Cooked

[cunning plover]

I was just going through my essays and i feel like i put so much effort into each of those so like although i know rejections are normal i think itd feel so shit for me

[glossy lagoon]

Oh honestly its fine maybe my last name is funny

Funny valentine

[steep ivy]

oh ok

[glossy lagoon]

Any update yet?

[fringe topaz]

nope i think most of my colleges are the same as yours

[slender void]

there’s also the navigating differences one

my bowdoin poem essay was hot ass 😭 reading it again i wanna kms

[muted cloud]

I loved Amherst's essay

[steep ivy]

i wrote a supp later on after submitting bowdoin that i should’ve used for that

[muted cloud]

OHHH Bowdoin

My essay for them wasn't bad

[steep ivy]

whatever my chances went from very small to very small anyway

[vocal schooner]

Yep

Bowdoin believes that its broadly diverse and inclusive campus community prepares graduates to be contributing and useful citizens of the world. Every graduate of this institution should be confident in their preparation to be able to navigate through differences and in all sorts of situations. A Bowdoin education does not guarantee these skills, but it does impart a set of tools necessary to bravely enter unfamiliar conditions with the confidence to deal effectively with ambiguity.

If you wish, you may share anything about the unique experiences and perspectives that you would bring with you to the Bowdoin campus and community or an experience you have had that required you to navigate across or through differences. (250 words)

[muted cloud]

I wrote about my creative writing teacher

I did "To gain a standard for the appreciation of others' work and the criticism of your own"

For Bowdoin

My Swat essay was hot ass

[steep ivy]

i did art an initmate friend

[slender void]

same

[steep ivy]

twins

[slender void]

ughhhgh idec about pomona atp

[muted cloud]

I considered that one

But I needed to shoutout my CW teacher at some point

She's so goated

[tough mantle]

Dont worry guys nothin was as bad as my WashU, BU, or my NU essays

[muted cloud]

I assure you my swat essay was worse

[tough mantle]

Nah

[steep ivy]

people who say ts lowk have the most fire essays

ngl

[muted cloud]

I have a high standard for myself so

That's probably fair

[steep ivy]

i get it tho as an artist myself

😭

[tough mantle]

Oh no they were absolute garbage

But they don’t matter anymore

Because my Davidson essays were lowkey some of my best writing ever 💪

[muted cloud]

I've been testing at like a 12th grade reading level since the 4th grade and I've been praised for my writing and style like my whole high school career

I think that sort of

Puts a chip on my shoulder when it comes to my writing

And it makes me a little perfectionist because I'm trying to live up to absurd standards I've set for myself

And my teachers have kind of sort of set for me since seeing what I'm capable of ifykwim

[magic coral]

"ifykwim" ycnirts

[magic coral]

were you also like me who speedran books on a daily basis

rr was peak

[smoky nacelle]

i miss those days

[tough mantle]

Idk what my reading level is on

Probably 3rd grade 😭

[stiff hornet]

Hi guys

[smoky nacelle]

i would read 100+ books a year since 2020 and then completely fell off in 2025

[smoky nacelle]

dawg

no third grader is reading east of eden

[magic coral]

yeah ikr though i switched from books to lightnovels

[tough mantle]

See every reading test I take I get different results

[magic coral]

ri shall forever be the greatest work of fiction to ever exist

it was so peak the government had to ban it

[tough mantle]

I got a 23 ACT reading, then this happens on the SAT

[smoky nacelle]

what does ri stand for

[magic coral]

reverend insanity

[tough mantle]

Also got distinguished in reading on state testing

[muted cloud]

Used to

When I was younger

I would if I wasn't genuinely tweaking 24/7

[magic coral]

lmao

[muted cloud]

I be picking up books and then never finishing them lwk

[tough mantle]

Real

[muted cloud]

I'm way too stressed though I'll probably have a heart attack by 30 at this rate

[glass hornet]

fuck school

[muted cloud]

The high school structure isn't one I do well in

The college structure seems better from an outsider looking in (for my perceived skillset)

[smoky nacelle]

ohh cool

[tough mantle]

Idk what ill succeed in

I just know I can barely handle high school

[muted cloud]

I'd handle it a lot better if I had anything to look forward to

No extracurriculars, a one hour bus ride each way every day

I'm out 9 hours a day and then go home to genuinely nothing

My only real ECs are NHS which is like once a month and then volunteering whenever the hell I can get out to do that

[glass hornet]

college is going to be fun

[tough mantle]

I just hope I finally fit in somewhere

[floral coral]

6 schools come out this week for me 😭

bowdoin essay for me was ass

i didnt like the prompt at all

tell me why my only good essays were for Harvard and Brown...

[tough mantle]

Hey yknow what

Those are good schools to have good essays for

[floral coral]

[muted cloud]

[floral coral]

[muted cloud]

[floral coral]

[tough mantle]

You got this!

[loud helm]

girl i got deferred ed i’m fine now it’s gonna be #fine

[steep ivy]

u right

[tepid tree]

lmao did anyone do option B for the amherst supps?

[loud helm]

it’ll all work out zont even worry about it

[muted cloud]

Which one was option B

[empty knoll]

which one was that?

[waxen lava]

i think it was the paper

i did option A

[empty knoll]

which one is that lmao

i didnt do the paper

[waxen lava]

i did this one

[empty knoll]

i think option C was a2a people only

[empty knoll]

oh yeah same

[waxen lava]

i didnt write about amherst at all in my applicaton

[muted cloud]

Me too

[dusty dagger]

burp 30 or bates 30

[muted cloud]

Me either I don't believe

[waxen lava]

i dont think u were supposed to write abt the university at all i believe

since the prompt never asked for it.

i hope i did the right thing

[muted cloud]

Nah, don't try to butter them up if they don't ask. The essay was gauging your character and it's open-ended on purpose. It gives you freedom to show who you are, what inspires you, etc.

[loud helm]

i am both!!

[waxen lava]

Ok then i did the right thing

👍

[muted cloud]

What'd you end up writing about? I love sharing and reading writing lol

[muted cloud]

burp 😭

[waxen lava]

how i developed sitzfleisch

and thinking about snacks for hours

summing up to research in mathematics

[muted cloud]

I'm a stupid American so

What exactly is that

[waxen lava]

german for "sitting flesh"

basically the endurance to stay seated and finish difficult tasks, aka embracing the discomfort

im not german though

i live in the US

i just found this word when watching oppenheimer

and it was a very good connection to my story so i used it

[muted cloud]

And you tied that to curiosity? That's awfully creative.

[waxen lava]

Thank you

Brown didnt see it that way 💀

Amherst 🙏

ik you got me

this was where i got the idea from actually

and the movie of course

[zealous sundial]

wellesley confirmed to be this sat at 10am est

[muted cloud]

This definitely seems like the Oppenheimer from the movie lol

[waxen lava]

Yep

I took it from there actually

[muted cloud]

Mine was about childhood curiosity, and balancing adult pessimism with childish dreams. I centered it around "looking to the stars" and framed the adult world as light pollution, sorta

[waxen lava]

clever analogy

[muted cloud]

I'm a big symbolism guy and take any chance I get to build surreal or vivid narrative

The only issue is AOs don't always absorb the imagery so it's a wee bit of a gamble

But I try to keep my hooks digestable to HOPEFULLY encourage them to dig deeper

🙏

[waxen lava]

Indeed

[muted cloud]

The issue with admissions friendly reading is you should be clever but not too clever

[swift hatch]

which prompt did u guys do for w&l?

[glass hornet]

Chat we will get in

[rapid creek]

yall will bag Pomona fr

[empty knoll]

yessir (i didnt apply)

[tough mantle]

Isn’t it a music school

[rapid creek]

[main kite]

[glass hornet]

NYU used to be my top 1, until I found out that they are really bad at aid and they secretly practice need aware

It’s disgusting

[main kite]

????

[muted cloud]

NYU is rich people university

[main kite]

U can play with my toys but i can’t with urs smh

[glass hornet]

I agree💔I don’t got money for them

[rapid creek]

[muted cloud]

yes

[glass hornet]

Yep

[main kite]

this was the same for meee i was obsessed with nyu when i was a freshman

[tough mantle]

Not the worst but yeah they suck

[main kite]

but now it’s like i want a school with an actual campus

[glass hornet]

They are a big fat liar, THEY ARE NOT NEED BLIND

[tough mantle]

My npc was 10k

[main kite]

and it seems hard to make friends at nyu and feel connected to your classmates

[rapid creek]

no like ive heard about the rest of the new school being mid but ive heard great things about parsons

[glass hornet]

I applied ED2 to nyu then switched to rd, then I withdraw

[muted cloud]

i remember I watched a college decisions video where a girl picked new school over fucking northeastern

[main kite]

idk like as a whole ive heard weird things but since 90% of new schoolers go to parsons they just blend in

[glass hornet]

Too disgusted by this college

[main kite]

Still parsons over northeastern….

[tough mantle]

Tbf I would too, NEU is worse than NYU

[rapid creek]

NEU slander is insane

[main kite]

i think I’d pick northeastern over nyu

because neu has a campus

https://klipy.com/gifs/young-sheldon-cat

[glass hornet]

I’ll pick Davidson over anything

[main kite]

No campus no service

[glass hornet]

How much does it cost to live in nyc even

[tough mantle]

I’d like it if someone bagged rd for Davidson here

[main kite]

Too much

I couldn’t get a drink for under 7 dollars

[muted cloud]

if ONE OF US gets into williams/amherst who would it be

just listing the two flagship lacs because

too many damn lacs in this thread

1000yardstare

[empty knoll]

wym bro all lacs are flagship in my eyes

[hollow zinc]

what are the chances a deferral gets to an acceptance

c’mon

[muted cloud]

happened to me for richmond

[empty knoll]

depends on the school

[muted cloud]

never know

[hollow zinc]

smith

[hollow zinc]

:o

[languid coral]

whoever gets into williams literally dm me asap

[soft cobalt]

what major for smith?

[hollow zinc]

architecture

lol

[empty knoll]

i hope to do so

[soft cobalt]

same !!

[rose ruin]

bro i got jumpscared so hard.

[hollow zinc]

WAITTTT

OMGGG

[muted cloud]

i will definitely most assuredly be doing that (dont expect a dm im not getting in)

LOL

[hollow zinc]

I WCTUALLY THOUGHT THIS MAJOR WAS DEAD

HEELLOOO

[rose ruin]

ahh i was considering arch for a couple years lol

[soft cobalt]

HELLOO

[hollow zinc]

LOL

[hollow zinc]

i didn’t consider it at all until i did a summer program

[soft cobalt]

i applied urban planning to a lot of schools but yes a couple archi ones

[muted cloud]

DUDE THAT EMAIL PMO (i literally dont give a flying fuck about hamilton and only applied because they extended the deadline)

[hollow zinc]

woahh

[rancid flax]

ur looking at english right?

[rose ruin]

nah ts so real

i'm just antsy

[rose ruin]

maybeee

whatever tickles my fancy 💀

[hollow zinc]

did u do their portfolio?

[soft cobalt]

i had archi on my mind for like 4 years but i also chose urban planning for my sanity loll

[muted cloud]

their essay was so "glaze us please" its insane

[soft cobalt]

for smith? i do not remember 😭

[rose ruin]

i didn't do the essay 💀

[hollow zinc]

icic

[rose ruin]

i did the link and sent my art instagram 💀

[hollow zinc]

it was like max 5 works 😭

[rancid flax]

i had this revelation when i had just finished ap euro and apush mixed with the english aps that i actually really love the humanities. and this was shocking to me because freshman me was obsessed with going pre med and u could like have never told 9th grade abba he would love the humanities as much as he does now

[muted cloud]

oh wrd

[rose ruin]

the humanities are so goated.

[rancid flax]

something about ap euro and apush was just so good

[soft cobalt]

i did for some schools but idk about smith

[rancid flax]

and im not a history geek at all

so it was like mindblowing

[soft cobalt]

have u gotten acceptances for archi yet ?

[rancid flax]

for me to submit college applications with humanities listed under potential majors!

[hollow zinc]

i got into syracuse

[rose ruin]

🔥

i'm honestly kind of in shock that amherst accepted me without supplemental essays 😭

[muted cloud]

i considered applying there but their aid woulda been buns

[hollow zinc]

but idk about committing cuz like 60k a year is kinda robbery (international no need based so errrrmmm)

[muted cloud]

I got into their father though

u rochester, their dad

[rose ruin]

like i thought the supps were my strong suit but honestly js got lazy when i did their app and sent in the most random graded paper instead

[rose ruin]

nooo

[soft cobalt]

syracuse i forgot why i didnt apply loll

[muted cloud]

syracuse aid for domestic isnt much better

LOL

[soft cobalt]

ah i see

[hollow zinc]

they have need based for domestic right?”

[muted cloud]

its ass

[hollow zinc]

oop

i see

aren’t they rich????

[rancid flax]

60k is a lot.. 240k for undergrad

[rose ruin]

rich does not mean generous

[muted cloud]

syracuse woulda been a safety for me anyway

[muted cloud]

research uni

[hollow zinc]

they gave me 35k in merit the og cost would’ve been like 95k help

ah

95k

[muted cloud]

most of that money doesnt see students

[hollow zinc]

95

i can feel my brain cells exploding

[rose ruin]

🔥

we are NOT going

[hollow zinc]

HEEELP

WHATT

[rancid flax]

need based = the college’s own method of determining ur “need.” if u apply to princeton, their “need based” is NOT the same as for example yale

[hollow zinc]

ROBBERY

[rose ruin]

yes

[muted cloud]

princeton has good aid but i know what you're trying to say lol

[rose ruin]

and princeton and yale are both very very generous so that'll be different from a midrange LAC

[rancid flax]

oh im not saying princeton has bad aid. im saying each college has their own degree of generosity when it comes to what u “need”

[muted cloud]

calculated "demonstrated need" is also different for schools that do independent calculations based on CSS so covering "all of demonstrated need" is a little bit deceiving sometimes

[rose ruin]

btw "typical assets" means almost no assets

[rancid flax]

^

[muted cloud]

demonstrated without loans is better but only a select few schools do that

[loud helm]

bates gave me a near full ride w an asset however

i have a very special circumstance surrounding it so

[rancid flax]

urochester turned my fafsa into only unsubsidized loans.

[muted cloud]

i mean your sai is genuinely fucking horrendous i cant imagine your asset was that big of a deal with that perspective in mind

[muted cloud]

my uroc aid wasnt horrible but wasnt great

[rancid flax]

are u international

[muted cloud]

no\

[loud helm]

the house burned towards the back, loses more money then it makes, and was bought w my dads siblings money when my dad thought he was going to pass away from open heart surgery

🔥🔥🔥

[rancid flax]

cause ik a lot of internationals have a hard time getting into urochester

its like 15%

[empty knoll]

U DIDNT DO THE SUPPLEMENTALS?!

and got an early write?

wow u must be cracked

[rose ruin]

ahh no i did whichever option had u submit the graded essay

i didn't write a supplemental is what i meant lol

[empty crow]

@junior field

[junior field]

Ty! Looks like we had that one good to go

[muted cloud]

OH I DIDNT EVEN THINK TO PING LOL

[empty knoll]

thats still okay

williams runs on that alone

[muted cloud]

amherst just released a jumpscare email

YUP

LOL

[rocky pelican]

Hamilton sending me another email telling me abt the release date bitch ive known

I jumped so hard

[rose ruin]

[muted cloud]

i sent that lol

[rose ruin]

fire

[junior field]

So this one is new

[muted cloud]

i got jumpscared too\

[junior field]

It was my correct prediction tho

[empty knoll]

their writing style is so cutesy, as flowers begin to bloom

[muted cloud]

i lwk thought it was confirmed already

[empty knoll]

well we had w and s of wasp confirm the 20th

[glass hornet]

I love how every school is releasing at the 20th

[floral coral]

[muted cloud]

hamilton is trying to be different

[glass hornet]

I bet Grinnell too (like I m serious not tryna spam

https://giphy.com/gifs/pop-culture-floptok-tanked-ruamGmbxZiVsnuddSc

3.20 is like the LAC ivy day

[floral coral]

[muted cloud]

Me too bro

[junior field]

Ty!

[glass hornet]

Praying for u

Ok why is midd releasing decisions at 8 in the morning

💀💀💀

So basically 5 in the morning for California folks

[tough mantle]

Jesus Dude 😭

[loud helm]

i like this

i can wake up to a decision

[muted cloud]

REAL

I love morning drops

[glass hornet]

Ur school is hella rich btw

They sent me this nice magazine

With the silver stamp on it

This is the nicest magazine I have ever gotten

[tough mantle]

The only mail Davidson has given me so far were some stickers and my acceptance letter (and a brochure) lol.

[muted cloud]

Richmond is sending me swag at some point

[loud helm]

i am SO excited to get my acceptance packageee

i can’t wait i am so impatient

[muted cloud]

And then I'm getting a t shirt when I do the overnight program

[tough mantle]

Hopefully more comes soon (please I’m bored) 🙏🙏

[glass hornet]

I swear, LACs are fucking rich

[tough mantle]

Good

Because I’m not 😭

[loud helm]

real

[fringe topaz]

Decisions 3 day in a row oh boy

[faint sleet]

ong its over

my amhers portal has test scores as recevied even though on commonapp pdf it says test optional

i emailed them am i cooked

[tough mantle]

They’re probably on your transcript

[faint sleet]

they arent tho

[glass hornet]

H mart I love u

[faint sleet]

i checked my transcripts

[tough mantle]

Maybe it’s marked that way because you’re test optional then

[faint sleet]

embedded failure

[rapid creek]

if you marked your app as test optional they wont read your scores even if sent

[tough mantle]

A couple colleges did that to me 😭

My state schools

But still

[faint sleet]

alr

[tough mantle]

Fuck Western Kentucky University 😭

[rapid creek]

okay thats a randomass state school

these top colleges are a lot more tidy with their processes

[glossy lagoon]

The more the better

I wish they drop everything at once

[glass hornet]

I wonder is anyone like 80% sure they will get in on Friday

https://tenor.com/view/yeyeskies-cynthia-erivo-thinking-the-concept-of-stan-twt-gif-5814397318881247966

[faint sleet]

fuh no

[hearty summit]

MAKE GRINNELL GREEN!

the colleges i applied to feel so random

[tough mantle]

Bruh CWRU is NOT a safety

[rapid creek]

you have a strange definition of target 😭

[faint sleet]

i also got waitlisted from cwru

[rapid creek]

and safeties i might add

[glass hornet]

Good list

[faint sleet]

they have like a 14% yield which is pretty insane

[tough mantle]

NYU IS NOT A TARGET WTF IS THIS 😭

[hearty summit]

for the target my explaination is i evaluted it based off the average accepted stats vs my stats

for example: umich average sat is 1480 mya verage sat is 1560

therefore i called umich a target

but i suppose i was wrong in my evaluations as i was waitlisted from 2 safeties

[stiff hornet]

What up boys

[rapid creek]

college applicants are way more holistic than just stats

[hearty summit]

the reason i put nyu as a target is because i am applying an easy major in CAS so my application is much easier compared to the average applicant

[glass hornet]

Depends on if she applied aid

[hearty summit]

UW seattle is safety because i am in state but if i was oos itd be a target

[hearty summit]

shit i did

FAHHHHH

[glass hornet]

Liberal studies core?

[hearty summit]

CHANGING IT TO REACH

[hearty summit]

i believe i applied public policy

[glass hornet]

Oh

[hearty summit]

yes i was proven wrong

[glass hornet]

Good luck girl

[hearty summit]

i got fordham safety from fordham's 1300 sat averag eand the 3.5 average...yet i was somehow waitlisted

[tough mantle]

Anything sub 20 acceptance rate is a reach no matter what 😭

[hearty summit]

i got cwru safety also from its average accepted stats but i was also wrong on that

and northeastern is a target because i was early action so ik it was significantly easier

[glass hornet]

Cwru is also my safety

[tough mantle]

Anything sub 50 is a target

[hearty summit]

and neu acceptance rate lwk a lie so

[tough mantle]

No

That’s not how that works

[glass hornet]

I didn’t know cwru yield protect this much

[tough mantle]

EA’s acceptance rate is a 5%

[hearty summit]

it depends on what college it is. like some sub 50 colleges have lower average sttas and are easier to get into

[hearty summit]

isnt the 5% overall?

[glass hornet]

THATS WHY WE HAVE TO DO SCHOOL RESEARCH CHAT

[hearty summit]

ea, ed, rd combine

[tough mantle]

No

[glass hornet]

ESPECIALLY ON AR

[rapid creek]

most EAs dont have higher acceptance rates because its not binding

[hearty summit]

oh i see

[rapid creek]

its just applying earlier, that isnt inherently a boost

[hearty summit]

well i got in so no need to worry no more

[faint sleet]

"Hello from Davidson! This is a reminder that we will share your admission decision on Saturday, March 21 at 10:00 am EDT. You'll be able to access your decision in your applicant portal. " the time is near

[hearty summit]

im not going to neu i js apply cuz they waive my fee but i am not paying 100k/yr 💔
