[tough mantle]

Not when it falls on you

Then what are you gonna do

[idle bobcat]

Is it bad to update admissions this late in the game…? I sent my regional officer an email abt how I was recently nominated for an award due to my work with my ECs and offered an internship for the summer

[hearty summit]

🤫🤫🤫

[idle bobcat]

The big one

[rose ruin]

it would not😭 best is waitlist to accept or reject to waitlist icl

[hearty summit]

if it wont hurt you then no need to hesitate

[rose ruin]

a single new achievement won’t have that large of a swing

but there’s no harm in trying anyway

[hearty summit]

ig it depends how good the award

first place isef will swing it

[glass hornet]

The one on the 20th?

[idle bobcat]

Hello

All it takes is ANOTHER one 🙏

[steep ivy]

[foggy cape]

[steep ivy]

synonym for yield protection

[idle bobcat]

Isn’t it imposter syndrome…

Oh

Tufts does that?????

[foggy cape]

tufts will not yield protect us

we’re chuds

[idle bobcat]

Larp

[steep ivy]

exactly

[idle bobcat]

Maybe they’ll think my app is so bad that I’ll end up enrolling 🙏🙏

[steep ivy]

tufts def don’t yield protect anymore but why is it called tufts syndrome 😭

why tufts

[foggy cape]

main character syndrome

omg actually ptsd

my why tufts

i don’t remember it but i think i talked about my tiktok account

[idle bobcat]

My tufts app was so bad

Omg

So baloney

[steep ivy]

my why tufts was about their asian center and an interaction i had with a tufts student #demonstratedinterest

[idle bobcat]

“I value an education where half the learning happens in the classroom and the other half in the real world. Tufts is the place for that. “ is what I started with

Brooo I wish I could go to Boston

How was it

[glass hornet]

Take the we out, replace it with “i m”

[idle bobcat]

Did you like it

[foggy cape]

well no

[steep ivy]

boston literally is my dream city to live in

[glass hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/cool-fun-white-cat-dance-cool-and-fun-times-gif-11777720197194615716

[foggy cape]

that i know

[glass hornet]

Boston college broke my heart already

[idle bobcat]

Damn

Gotta get in 🙏

[foggy cape]

i don’t think you’d like BC anyways

[glass hornet]

I m Blacklisting all the Boston schools

[steep ivy]

i think you’re referring to me? in that case yes, they convinced me to apply and stuff lmao

[glass hornet]

I feel like BC is acting too serious

[foggy cape]

i visited tufts campus but no official tour sadly

[glass hornet]

Tufts is really pretty

Especially the blue

[foggy cape]

my dad made me run a lap around the track for good luck

🙏

[steep ivy]

i will live in boston one day…it must happen

[hardy island]

Same vro Boston legit felt magical to me and im in NYC
Boston is legit like amazing
Ive never felt better vibes

[steep ivy]

boston is so walkable 😩

and it’s so pretty

esp at night

[idle bobcat]

Never been to Boston … but guys.. NYC mogs it exponentially

[steep ivy]

nyc overrated

[crude shadow]

[steep ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/ts-genuinely-frying-me-ts-frying-me-ts-frying-me-gif-15599417133692893606

[idle bobcat]

[glass hornet]

[hearty summit]

im assuming grinnell friday

and w&l friday too

[rapid creek]

LMAOOO yea

i saw this fella during my campus visit

[hardy island]

Bet

[teal thicket]

what is this mascot

[crude shadow]

a PNG they made 3D

[teal thicket]

what's W and L's official mascot called

[rapid creek]

theyre the generals i believe

their mascot is just their athletics logo lol

[languid coral]

i visited in the summer and boston was so nice cause it’s not humid at all nyc in the summer feels like walking into a bathroom after a 300 degree shower

[teal thicket]

😭

[teal thicket]

idk how to feel about that given W and L's history 😭

[foggy cape]

so ugly

[loud helm]

guys when u commit do u have to immediately reject other offers

[rapid creek]

a lot of colonial-age schools have...questionable history

[rapid creek]

yes

[foggy cape]

why not wait to hear back

you can wait a week

[rapid creek]

well

you havent committed to bates yet right

ur fine for right now

[loud helm]

i just did lol

[foggy cape]

omg congrats

[rapid creek]

oh congrats!!

[loud helm]

no im asking about my past offers

like do i reject them now

[rapid creek]

idk i feel like you should, would help move their WLs just that bit faster

[crude shadow]

tridey

[foggy cape]

i’d reject them now espec bc then maybe someone can get off the waitlist before may 1

[crude shadow]

the logo is actually nice, but the mascot is ugly

[teal thicket]

that's true unfortunetly

[foggy cape]

yeah the logo is really fancy

if i recall

[teal thicket]

tridey sounds cool

[loud helm]

ok i do tmmrw i was just wondering if it was like a bad thing like to the college

[crude shadow]

they have plushies of it too

[teal thicket]

cute

[rapid creek]

well it becomes bad if you double deposit

withdrawing early if you commit early is moreso a courtesy to other applicants

[loud helm]

ohh i see

[teal thicket]

for me i think once i committed to a college i withdrew from the other ones

however, that was only when i was 100% sure i was going to the college

i lowkey withdrew from carleton extremely late

cause i wasn't sure if i was gonna leave carleton or not

[cyan moss]

hows carleton

hows the atmosphere over there

is it laid back or

sweaty

[teal thicket]

very good imo

[muted cloud]

When did I get pinged in here

[teal thicket]

people there were very supportive

to each other

it was like everyone is smart and hardworking but also super collaborative

i don't think i've met people that were competitive at carleton

[cyan moss]

nicee

what do they look for from applicants

[teal thicket]

carleton looks for people that are "quirky"

i would say they look for people that are very passionate towards something

like i knew someone who was passionate about different types of rice and wrote about that

and got into carleton

[hasty silo]

Who's excited for POMONA tmr

[rapid creek]

meeee

[cyan moss]

woww

would you say they are very selective

the acceptance rate is 20% idk if that means antyhing

[crude shadow]

wow thats way higher than what i thought it would be, i thought it was like 10%

still low, but like yeah

[cyan moss]

same

[astral knot]

me

[glass hornet]

Wait that’s kinda high

Dear Davidson college: I will donate 67 million dollars if you let me in. Thank you. Dr. Alex Trump

[hollow zinc]

is carleton's time confirmed

[cyan moss]

isnt minerva goated

[crude shadow]

compared to its peers yeah, its very high.

like most other T20 LACs are now sub 15%

[cyan moss]

is minerva faking their acceptance rate or is it real

[hollow zinc]

ive like lowkey lost hope

[crude shadow]

pretty sure they count unfinished applications lol

[devout spindle]

They decline people who don’t finish

Made an account once and got an email saying I was rejected

[glass hornet]

This is surprising tho. But the ranking for LACs is kinda nonsense ngl

I don’t look at rankings

[devout spindle]

Fake school

[crude shadow]

wdym nonsense, generally very consistent :p

[glass hornet]

Like you can’t really rank their prestige

ofc besides the top ones

Fit > prestige

[rapid creek]

peep the server banner yall

[glass hornet]

Asari is boiling on Pomona decision day

🔥🔥🔥

[devout spindle]

What if I’m a prestigious person

[astral knot]

🤣

[glass hornet]

💀

[glass hornet]

They are faking it

[upper glade]

waitlist from ND

ahhhhh

[glass hornet]

Minerva is like the child of ole miss and northeastern

[vast gyro]

[upper glade]

redemption arc

[glass hornet]

Since Boston college doesn’t want me Davidson college you have to lock in

I know we are better than that Davidson

https://tenor.com/view/cool-fun-white-cat-dance-cool-and-fun-times-gif-11777720197194615716

[glossy lagoon]

Notre Dame just reminded me just how bad my chances are

im so cooked

[upper glade]

howd u do

[glossy lagoon]

rejected

[upper glade]

ugh man

better opportunities will present themselves

[cunning plover]

Anyone has experience negotiating financial aid/scholarship at an LAC?
Im mentioning how i love the school and its a great fit, plus putting a screenshot of their own financial aid estimator which has a higher aid value and also explaining the need for the aid. Do i also mention a competing scholarship offer? or will that not help?

[fringe topaz]

same

and lehigh

not getting into any out of 7 college this week would be so depressing

[rapid creek]

i wouldnt compare college offers, that can rub the wrong way

[empty knoll]

10 decisions in 2 days 😭

[rapid creek]

showing the finaid calculator is your best bet i think

[cunning plover]

makes sense, thank you

[glossy lagoon]

Fr man

[vocal schooner]

Use the financial aid estimator screenshot. Don’t pit schools against each other unless it’s two peer schools like Harvard and Yale. These schools has a policy of matching the others’ financial aid package.

[cunning plover]

Fair enough, thanks

Anyway one is scholarship and one is kind of scholarship kind of aid so prob wouldn't make a difference

[faint coral]

did anyone get colby css waiver?

[fickle tundra]

Bro why do even need to beg like just see my finances

Even ur aid calc tells i need more aid

Do u expect us to sell our kidney

[empty knoll]

Uh

Why do we have a mutual

Friend

[vocal schooner]

Yep. Scholarships aren’t considered as need based aid so trying to cost compare scholarships isn’t likely to work

[stiff hornet]

Hi

[muted cloud]

Hi

Takes pressure off of tomorrow

[vocal schooner]

[glossy lagoon]

theres like 2 davidson alumni ever from my country at davidson

[vocal schooner]

Compared to other selective LACs

[glossy lagoon]

im cooked af

[vocal schooner]

Maybe it’s because they factor in DI

[tough mantle]

We have 3 Davidson students here in A2C already so

[glossy lagoon]

domestics are in another ballpark alr

[tough mantle]

A 4th and 5th would be cool too

[glossy lagoon]

lets hope everyone get in and we can form an A2C Davidson team

[glass hornet]

I would prefer 6th and 7th

[sharp belfry]

swat has really great FA

[fringe spear]

their appeals process is bullshit tho

[sharp belfry]

[muted cloud]

Swat is genuinely the goofiest college of all time

Crine

[devout spindle]

They have my major too

#sighs

[fringe spear]

[devout spindle]

There’s always transfer I guess

[sharp belfry]

[fringe spear]

the email heading was “in queso forgot…”

[devout spindle]

Oh my gooddd

[sharp belfry]

omfg

[muted cloud]

I didn't even ED anywhere because I was scared of getting fucked on financial aid

[sharp belfry]

im skipping first period cuz i didnt plug in my car

school technically starts in 2 minutes for me lol

[sharp belfry]

same here

[magic coral]

i didnt ED cuz i ...

didnt know it was a thing

until late jan

[devout spindle]

Didn’t ED cuz my ass thought I had a chance at MIT 😭

And my parents didn’t really like the school I wanted to ED at

[fringe topaz]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1127045977962971156/1148983656052953249/togif-1.gif

i pray i get at least 1 acceptance

[muted cloud]

Only a select few schools do early read and even that isn't even binding on the schools end

In hindsight I would've maybe considered EDing to a school like Williams

But

Eh

[fringe topaz]

7 decision in a week just 1 please

😭

might be 9 i expect lafayette and wesleyan to drop soon

[hasty silo]

U got it

I believe in u

[muted cloud]

please bro PLEASE I NEED DECISIONS TO DROP

[fringe topaz]

i hope i get the same miracle as my older brother

rejection streak until colby saved him

[muted cloud]

I'm on a waitlist streak

[glossy lagoon]

DANG thats goated

same

ive been getting all rejections

[muted cloud]

6 waitlists only broken up by Richmond acceptance

[hasty silo]

What lacs r dropping td

Is it js the big pomona

[muted cloud]

If Richmond hadn't given me a great offer I'd be tweaking like hell

[muted cloud]

Potentially Laf but not confirmed

[hasty silo]

Ah

[glass hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/cool-fun-white-cat-dance-cool-and-fun-times-gif-11777720197194615716

[muted cloud]

Do they send admitted mail or something

[hasty silo]

Idk

Probably

I'm assuming this is Pomona

[muted cloud]

imagine they mail rejection letters

[hasty silo]

I have nothing else that would send me a package from Claremont

[hasty silo]

😭

That would be unfortunate

They probably could how many ppl apply to Pomona

[glass hornet]

azo I believe in you. You will get into Pomona

[hasty silo]

I dont think they would tho since they're probably somewhat environmentally conscious

[honest river]

Colgate and Williams college comes out tomorrow 🙏

[hasty silo]

Does Pomona give travel aid for LI students to go to ASD

Any1 know

I mean that doesnt include stuff fod ASDs tho

This is just like

Scholarships

[muted cloud]

I'll get into a place I didn't apply?

Remarkable

[hasty silo]

LMAO yes

[glass hornet]

YES

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1127045977962971156/1148983656052953249/togif-1.gif

[muted cloud]

Tbf I've been receiving direct admissions offers from places so you never know LMAO

[honest river]

im not sure but u check website if doesnt answer your question u can contact them through e mail or phone

[hasty silo]

I see

[faint coral]

lol are we supposed to convert it to hexa?

[hasty silo]

I'll prob email once decisions come out and if I'm admitted

Thanks for ur help tho

[muted cloud]

One is binary, one is hexadecimal

[honest river]

im so scared tomorrow i only apply 1 lac college and it Colgate im soo cooked

[dense parrot]

does anyone know when lafayette is released?

[empty knoll]

every 8 is an ascii character

[muted cloud]

Possibly today, one would think by tomorrow

They haven't released a date

They almost never release after Lehigh, this is actually an irregular year for them

[dense parrot]

really?

i assumed it would be close to the lehigh release date too

which was yesterday iirc

[faint coral]

oh right that was a thing as well

[honest river]

well i heard comes out late march maybe next week if your lucky

[muted cloud]

They likely experienced a spike in applications this year. They've had an upward trend in applications the past few years due to more national recognition and financial aid initiatives.

[empty knoll]

yes swat is so quirky :3

[faint coral]

unique way of sending an email, but i would have panicked at first glance

[muted cloud]

we'll see

[empty knoll]

the greek and latin one was weird lmao

[honest river]

gl 🙏

[faint coral]

wait they had different variations of the email?

[muted cloud]

U 2

[honest river]

thanks

[empty knoll]

diff emails

[muted cloud]

LOL

[faint coral]

this is kind of funny

[muted cloud]

I wonder if they google translated this or if they actually had profs come up with this nonsense

[empty knoll]

holy quirky

[rocky pelican]

that’s cute…i wonder if they sent that to their Greek applicants

[muted cloud]

💀

[faint coral]

i dont think so lol

[empty knoll]

i shouldve said somehting in binary or hex in my essay

missed opportunity

[alpine anvil]

colgate is tmr?

[vivid prairie]

they didn't send email like this for ed2 tho

[honest river]

yes

[vivid prairie]

why special treatment for rd

[empty knoll]

this was before i applied

[vivid prairie]

[vivid prairie]

mb

[alpine anvil]

oh wait tmr is the 20th fuck

[empty knoll]

[vivid prairie]

[magic coral]

[vivid prairie]

[median needle]

Ill say this!! We are a pwi but most institutions are yk! But there is alot of diversity here, we have so many multi cultural clubs its hard to keep up with em all lol! I would say to see more poc specifically definitely go to any club event when u can, our fashions shows, etc 🙂

[empty knoll]

Indeed

[vivid prairie]

i loved holy cross man
but was rejected last year and didn't apply this year

[median needle]

Ooo I see i see

[vivid prairie]

did you commit to ut or are you waiting for other decisions?

[empty knoll]

Waiting on other decisions, got 10 in the span of the next 24 hours

[median needle]

I applied to 17 schools, I graduated last yr and it was jist a terrible year for college applications I got 7 WL and 5 acceptances🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️

[magic coral]

5 acceptance is beyond godly wdym

oh u domestic mb

[vivid prairie]

shit
got into any?
i will also have 10 in the span of 24 hrs from tomorrow

[empty knoll]

So far rejected from ND and JHU, looking forward to tufts in like a few hours

[median needle]

Holy cross was the best option for me financially and community wise, I never visited, I only applied because my mentor told me to do more target schools. I visited the school during acceptance students day for their program that fly ppl in when they accepted lol

[vivid prairie]

i applied to 25 and was accepted to many but didn't get good aid

so applied to 40 schools this year💀
and thankfully at least i have got a fullride at howard

[median needle]

LMFAOAO

Ooo okok!!

See that's still good!@

[magic coral]

intl + cs + aid = roasted

[vivid prairie]

yeah that is the most deadly combination

[empty knoll]

A full ride anywhere is a dub, congrats

[empty knoll]

Add in Indian subcontinent, and uh

[median needle]

I got waitlisted from wellesley, smith, Bates, bowdoin, bu, neu and trinity college. 💔💔

[vivid prairie]

how has been you experience?

[midnight bronze]

Anyone get an informed delivery package for Williams?

[median needle]

Ive heard😭🙏prayinh for yaññ

[vivid prairie]

cause holy cross has been rapidly rising from the rankings

[empty knoll]

Jesus Christ

[median needle]

They are definitely getting more exposure in terms of the candidate pool

[magic coral]

thanks

[idle wraith]

waitlist warrior holy

[vivid prairie]

thanks
that is the only thing holding me
I am waiting for 19th and 20th decision and after that i will give iv cause no hope to be accepted by the ivys

[median needle]

Buddy the class of 2025 was legit the baby boom part 2, every school got the most amount of applicants because so many of us were born in 07 or 06

[median needle]

Just a terrible year to apply ngl, I thankfully got rejected from.only like hard schools which was like Stanford, Harvard, duke kunshan, Middlebury and mit

[teal thicket]

I would say it’s selective cause application quality is usually high

[vivid prairie]

yeah last year was a blood bath
although it was a good year for our country
the applicants were lot and only a few got good colleges

[median needle]

First semstar was not great for me because I also have adhd and im extremely low income so I just didnt know how to use my resources, I even did a program called passport where I was here for 6 weeks and got a credit but still that was not enough to prepare me LMFOAOAO. I would definitely say with time and patience things get so much more better:) joining clubs this semester has been great and keeping in check of my mental health helps alor, also we get therapy dogs on campus that u can visit so I be visiting them hehe

[vivid prairie]

i think the most easiest application years were 2020/2021 due to covid

[median needle]

Most def

Legit the only year mit was test optional LMFOAOA 😭

[vivid prairie]

ohh sounds like a fantastic experience
I loved holy cross when i was applying

[vivid prairie]

yeah
and much more people were accepted that year i think

[muted cloud]

Test optional my beloved

[median needle]

I got in and didnt know there was an optional supplement 💀i legit did an interview and had no idea it was one too HAHA

[median needle]

DEADASS, I only sent my scores to two schools because yes

[vivid prairie]

lol

[loud helm]

thank god.

[median needle]

Yessir

Guys istg it does get better just give it time :)))

[vivid prairie]

SAT score is my reediming point

[median needle]

Always go with the school that is best for ur pocket too!!!

[median needle]

Bro i only applied to Bates because of how good their food was...enjoy the pasta sauce for me

💔💔

[muted cloud]

my essays carry me

[vivid prairie]

as how trump is doing things
i am afraid time is what we don't have

[loud helm]

?? LMFOAOA WHAT

[vivid prairie]

applied because they didn't have any supplements

[median needle]

IM NO KIDDING HAHAH

[median needle]

True true

[muted cloud]

the cuts to endowments make me worried for the future of need based aid, at least under the next two years of his tenure

[vivid prairie]

well i am an intl+cs+aid seeking so nothing can carry me

[median needle]

Schools with no supplements 🙏🙏🙏

I did a total of like 33 supplements

💔💔

[vivid prairie]

i did maybe 40
like stanford and harvard alone totaled 13 supplements man

[empty knoll]

Schools like brown and Yale pmo, like 7 supplements just for you!!??

[empty knoll]

And yeah these asw

[vivid prairie]

yeah
but we can reuse some of them

[median needle]

Felt

[vivid prairie]

and if i add scholarship supplements it will go to like 55-60

[median needle]

NAH DUDE CALTECH HAD 11 AND I NEEDED A CERTIFICATE CAUSE I DIDNT TAKE PHYSICS I WAS LIKE NUH UH

[teal thicket]

😭😭😭I heard it was still hard back then

[muted cloud]

I need to do more independent scholarship applications

For security sake

[empty knoll]

Some schools pmo

[vivid prairie]

i am saying easy cause people with not so good applications we getting in

[median needle]

Actually tho, doing all that to get rejected NAHHH

🥀🥀

[empty knoll]

What’s your elo?

[vivid prairie]

and from our country lacs and unis which have never taken students till now took students in those two yeat

[vivid prairie]

915 i think in rapid
I don't play nowadays though

[empty knoll]

Oh okie

[vivid prairie]

what's yours?

[median needle]

But anyways I would say as a whole, most people here really want to help you out are very friendly, there are lots of cliche rich white kids but like that dont make up everything, especially if u go into the more niche departments you'll find great people!

[empty knoll]

Like 1500 ish

[median needle]

Im going to do the asian studies minor because I absolutely love the Chinese department here, everyone is so friendly:)) ji Hao is my goat

🦆🦆🦆

[hasty silo]

When does Pomona drop again

is it at 3 pst or 5

[vivid prairie]

woah
that's a lot

[vivid prairie]

what languages class are you taking?

[glass hornet]

does anyone have a package coming from Matthews, NC? I didn’t apply to any school there or order anything

[vocal schooner]

Iirc Dr Hoffman, former Swarthmore director said they ED2 they take 6-8 applicants out of a few hundred need seeking internationals

[muted cloud]

probably just a distribution center lmao

[vivid prairie]

RD is more easier then?

[glass hornet]

Wdym?

It’s probably spam ig

[vocal schooner]

Could be

[muted cloud]

There's probably a warehouse in Matthews, NC that happens to deliver packages

Either that or its spam/scam mail @glass hornet

Was it an email?

[median needle]

I took chinese 101 first semester, i had to leave and use my credit tjo to focus om chem because my first semester was very rough due to Montserrat

[vocal schooner]

How do you see this

[vivid prairie]

well nothing i can do now

[glass hornet]

Yeah it showed up on my informed delivery this morning

But like, not an email outside USPS

[vocal schooner]

Look forward to the next few decisions!

[hasty silo]

https://informeddelivery.usps.com/portal/package

do u have informed delivery

I mean u can js make an acc

but

just use that and then it should be under packages

[muted cloud]

Oh yeah it's probably random mail you're getting then lol

[median needle]

But im thinking if ill go back, I need to think abt the time commitment! Great class tjo! Either that or ill do spanish since its my native language to like keep my gpa safe and then chinese again at some point

Im a chem major who plans on doing the biochem concentration so I Def need to plan my classes out early
