yeah its really cool
agreed
you went to the fly in right
ya
they kept messaging me on collegevine which is why i applied
my brother’s friend got into hyp and said she regretted not applying to williams 🥸
Yeah williams is awesome
youre gonna summon the grinnell person
I was gonna apply but uh lowkey was too lazy to get my counselor to submit midyr so..
do they not do that automatically
yeah
I withdrew most of my qbrd schools with the exception of MIT, BU, and Pomona
because BU and Pomona didn't have like a withdraw button in their portal
so I was too lazy
and my counselor ended up getting emails from them to subimt my midyr
so she ended up doing that
and I didnt have to ask
she ended up submitting them in like late Feb tho
💀
skull
blue cat
hi
my college app process is so cooked on timing too
midyears went out in late january
holy dude
i had an interview one week ago
If I adopt a blue kitty can I get into Harvard
did you apply yale
when was your interview
but I ended up not going thru with qb match and then spun a wheel (figuratively) to decide my REA school
I didnt have one
and then so like I was locked in grinding for it
and then uh I rewrote my PS and all my supps the day it was due
I genuinely sat in my room for like 12 hours
writing writing writing
maybe
mine was in march for some reason
I would think it's possible given that Yale is heavily recruiting for STEM and I'm STEM + HYPSM Admit and WL
but I feel like if I was autoadmit I prob would've js gotten a likely
idk tho
some autoadmits dont get likelies per uni
my likely friend had an interview before she got the letter
I've gotten 0 likelies which is kind of interesting since I kind of fit demographics for likely recipients as in like FGLI + Strong STEM (strong enough to at least get WL MIT)
but you can't really expect to get a likely so
I see
and accepted harvard which is highkey a lot better than waitlist mit
eh it's like they look for MIT caliber applicants in STEM
oh
cause like MIT is prob best signaling of your STEM strength as an applicant tbh
right
so they wanna steal people from like MIT
which is the point of a likely
is to try and get people who they know will be cross-admitted to other peer institutions
and since their priority is STEM, a high amount of them will be cross-admitted to MIT
i applied humanities to mit and got straight rejected
but my essays were also slop so maybe it was that
but yeah personally I think I got straight rejected from Yale
yeah my QB essays were so slop I was very surprised I didn't get flatout rejected
i think my stem profile is okay based on cmu?
I do wonder what would've happened if I applied with good essays
U got it mud
Idt ur app was that bad
oh ic ic that's fair
is mount holyoke comp
their admitted stats have gotten pretty high from what i remember
that means it was bad buddy
😭
but said "wasn't that bad" 💔
is williams college really coming in an hour?
that means it was bad to a degree
i mean those are all very different schools so it's hard for me to say
but i think it's a very strong school it seems like their grads do well
extremely different schools in terms of opportunities, social life, undergraduate population, etc.
like probably completely opposites tbh
for a lot of things
like the timer on the a2c website?
yes but i mean for general success
cuz my thing is olin ill def get a job
but 1. idk how fin aid will be and 2. idk if i appreciate the people there
I mean you can be successful at both places right it's always just dependent on how much work u put in but I think your cheapest option will probably be the best option
imo lacs like moho are stronger for grad school if that's something you want to do
I think you should try visiting if you acn tho!
and for uf i might get a job and ill def get the college experience but idk about fin aid
i can’t
true
damn
goys, please someone reply to me and tell me if williams college is coming in an hour or not im really anxious, its what the timer shows on the a2c website goys
but i can do the dual degree thing if that’s even any good
Bro like obviously you spent like less than 4 hours on it but for 4 hours it comparatively tops most and like atleast puts you in waitlist contention imo
its tmrw afaik
tomorrow evening
Nuh uh
they dont have a time
so its counting down till the start of the 20th for you
it will be on the 21st, at around 4 am for you
oh yes youre right, im in ist rn so 20th will start in an hour
guessing based on the hour thing that you're in india
okay, so basically same as amherst time
amherst is a little earlier afaik
u right
ngl I liked my yale app
fingers crossed
it was just my Harvard app rehashed
what was ur result
Laf
for yale
are you talking to me
yes
It’s not Ivy day yet
oh i thought, u did scea mb
i got deferred from yale
i thought i had pretty strong ec's and essays and stuff
nah I did REA harvard
congrats
thanks
what major?
Math & CS + Gov/Stats
in ist its 21st at 4am so u need to convert
Depending on what I'm interested in
like whichever one of Gov/Stats I find more interesting
I highkey don't think Gov double is doable though
Especially with the 20% cap
sounds fun boss; would you be wanting to see my harvard app? chance me type shit?
pls
i mean i know
Chance mes are super inaccurate
nothing I say is gonna change your results
Not good to feed delusion
your results r prob alr finalized
ya
definitely
I mean the majority of applicants get rejected so taht's a reasonable assumption
so no biggie
fair
could've been availability playing a factor
hard to say
fair fair
thanks mate!
u too!
wait
listen
would u be down to rate my brown video (i just want some opinions atp)
We got wayyy too many fashion shows, there's always something to do! Im from the boston area and I know people go out to boston alot haha
yo i think wesleyan is wed 25th at 7pm
But dw abt sounding weird, I thought the same too
wesleyan 🔛🔝
how long does it take to get to boston from campus?? it can’t be short enough for a day trip can it
next week is going to be an absolute bloodbath
nah ur good
Williams when?
tmrw 6-8 pm est or edt im not sure
time isnt confirmed
its already 20th in your location
so it shows up as today
Pomona please
real..
gl!!! waiting for scripps here myself
i have arrived
drop decisions any day now scripps 
I am also waiting for scripps
they locked the portal monday vro just drop decisions 😭
wdym?
wdym they locked the portal
when i checked the portal monday the "upload documents" and "withdraw application" buttons were gone
Scripps is probably not today
I’m hoping that they actually send out email notifications
scripps college
same. if reed can do it and macalester can do it a 5C can too
(got accepted to both. no idea how)
When I googled it no one said they received an email in advance
😭
damn
@rapid creek
Just on time
Lafayette RD is out, poll is above
@ channel?
no we have a couple other releases
ah
we ping for the last one of the day
what else is comgn out today
ITS OUT?
Good luck
day 2 of manifesting williams college
we'll ping at the end of the day and recap them all so all colleges will still be notified
waitlist warrior
congratulations
congrats!
LETS GOOOO
Is that your top choice
CONGRATSSSS🔥🔥🔥
Congrats
oh nice
And I'm already into them
well done
we'll see what happens tomorrow with the more selective LACs
I'm waiting on 11 more schools now
5 are tomorrow that I know of
fair
Plus the politics rn
fair enough
this adminstration has made it clear their stance regarding elite colleges
i think for Pomona i will ping in its thread so yall if you are waiting for Pomona do go check out the thread over there https://discord.com/channels/786557653924708373/1415111771408302183
The five I know I'm getting tomorrow are Swat, Amherst, Bowdoin, W&L, and Williams
W Williams
@stiff hornet make sure you reply to the laf poll
tomorrow this thread will be crazy
Why
It’s ok
Waitlist is better than nothing though!!
What are your options you're looking at rn?
Js Denison
What else is coming out?
Waitlist means you are qualify! They just don’t have a spot for you yet
So that means Laf likes you!
I’m not getting into anything that’s coming out
congrats!!!
Dw bro you got it
my brother in christ I'm a waitlist warrior
I'm 3A 6W 1R without my safeties
polls are ultimately optional as much as we encourage it. its just valuable data to post for future years, particularly for the larger interest schools, so that we have a rough idea of how this servers demographics fare
Asari will be working nonstop tmr
waitlist warrior indeed
Never had a ounce of luck in college admissions bro need some tn
How many LACs are even dropping tmr
a lot
mucho
amherst prioritizes fit i assume?
more than anything else?
idk if anyone knows what they look for the most
most LACs emphasize fit yea
We with Denison fuck laf
so lower stats but strong honors, ecs, research etc and good essays has a shot ig
It's just there's no point in not doing it and I'd rather it be accurate personally
i hope 🙏
yea same, but we cant force people
and i definitely dont wanna push it on people bummed about getting a bad result
true
I wanna check laf but my internet refuses to workkk
Gl bro
Good luck 🍀
Colby tn bruh trust
Isn’t really one thing they look for the most, can be a variety of factors but overall it’s just how do you as a person contribute to their culture and college mission of intellectual curiosity and diverse perspectives
Is what they told me
I’m prolly getting rejected I’ve been on a rejection streak lol
@stiff hornet I'm probably not going Lafayette anyway because my offer from Richmond is better (even though Lafayette gave me merit aid they gave me a higher EFC)
Ok
Yh
@muted cloudayyy rich too :3
I will sell my soul for NYU, USC, UCLA, UCB, Davidson, Grinnell, and UMich
what major
Are you actually considering going to richmond orr
Actually wait are you in the server I swear I've seen you on my alt
i dont seperate my personal and professional life really well sadly
i believe in u man
I'm probably going to un separate that tbh
Just because I wanna talk in the server more
Scripps is so pretty
I visited Scripps before
i mean i got into richmond scholars so unless like harvard accepts me or somethingg

I was gonna apply there, like I already wrote my essays but I ended up not. Cuz cali is abit expensive to live in
thats true ngl
but scripps has a teaching program i really want
so really hopin
me n my 3.6 gpa
good luck!!! Scripps is a great school
yeah
I also have a 3.6
gang what banner or icon should i make for tomorrow, just not doing CMC lol
Can't relate lol
we gotta celebrate LAC day
tomorrow is LAC day?
I got deferred EA and got in RD
Waitlisted to laf im happy shit
its kinda an unofficial term lol but a ton of LACs are dropping tomorrow
Ayyyy good break in the hell at least
actually same! deffered me from EA until they decided on me post interview
Me personally a rejection somewhere would be refreshing
wasp schools
Ohhh I didn't do interviews 
Not for Richmond anyway
all of these (ignore WashU and WFU) plus W&L
I actually didn't expect much aid from Richmond and then they turned out to give me a fuck ton
they dont even do interviews normally i think
i didnt expect to get accepted to rich lmao
oh and plus CMC
ME EITHER
the embedded cuts off after a certain amount of schools so the later ones got cut off
What time zone is this
PST
i submitted my mid year grades only like a week and a half before ea results 😭
LOL?
I forgot to do mine for a while too
Fuck being waitlisted
Here you should add me I need more URich friends
Amherst!!!
amherst fr
williams purple
wait this cooks (just cobbled this together a final product will obviously be more polished lol)
hey that cow looks funny
LOL
Literally like the same damn purple
WHATTT
Ignore my pfp heh
Just when I leave the house
I hate when they don’t just send me an email
@junior field apparently it’s out
There’s already a poll
it do be here
Who’s ready for Carleton 🤗
I guess I’m opening Pomona and laf same time bc I will not be home 😭
Colby 6 minute slam

Nvm I’m opening laf the suspense is too bad
When’s Williams coming out ppl
tomorrow
Friday, we dont know the time yet
like colby, colgate, bowdoin and a bunch others…😭😭😭
Ty
Where does it say this btw
Bowdoin is at 7 PM EST
\
Colgate 7:13 EST
Awhh guys I just realized my Lafayette letter was personalized
colby not confirmed tmr ?
colby is speculated not confirmed for tomorrow
Got waitlisted from laf wasn’t even worth opening
same wl
They're referencing my essay here this is so cute
on their website
wait this is so sweet!!
I've had a lot of AOs reference my essay actually
I've had one that's mentioned in person over a period of 3 different meets

Wrong mindset
Tmrw
4 now, but I applied to 19-20 even and I’m still waiting on more
bruh js trust me on this
i dont wanna hype myself up for nothing
So you may have more than me depending on how many schools you’re applying to
I applied to 25 and I'm waiting on 11
Bro wait
Excluding my safeties I have 3A 6W and 1R
do they do customized admission letters?
Yeah they have like 2-3 sentences throughout that reference personal stuff it seems and then they do one for extracurriculars you put down as interested in
Damn 😭 who knows tho I might be joining soon
I also got the Cur Non scholarship for them so that might have to do with it
Or become a reject warrior for rds my luck has been bad 😭
Sorry I just came out of a midterm lol, from hc to union station its a like 8 minute drive, 12 with traffic and then the train can take like an hour and a half at most!
Can’t wait to the get rejected from Pomona!! 🫰🏽
Yeah it’s cute
thxs
Most subtle merch of all time
Tasteful
Does bro like denison or is he accepting his fate
Red goes with a lot less, grey is more neutral and like an all rounder
accepting his fate at denison?
denisons a good school what
I’m this close to copping UT Austin merch bro, but UTaustin merch is so tuff
True
I thought you said smth abt their aid though
Hell yeah bro
is denison good?/
i feel like no one knows about it where i’m from and my mom is concerned
okay
huh
o ic
denisons a t35 lac climbing
and the town denison is in is better than 95% of lac towns
ngl
yeah the ohio part is a bit
ig i just never saw myself there
coming from a midwesterner
mk
its like wealthy midwest vibes
its really remniscient of a east coast town
like u could tell most ppl it was new england and they wouldnt be able to tell
ive only been to ny (for like 3 days) and ca after moving to the u.s so idk if it’s gonna be rly different
ah ic
yeah
like for me its great
the chunky aid packet age is rly tempting tho
mhm
also its incredibly safe
Colgate worst town ever bro
granville
Real
Hamilton in bumfuck nowhere
ye its not diff from most lacs
Denison aid package is by far the best one for me
every time i look at syracuse denison is like oHhhHhhTheMONEYYY
yOU coULd sAVe so mUCH
Bro how do u pick a town with less than 15k population
wdym
culture differences lol
if ur referring to denisons town
i fw that personally
I have a Uni where my COA is 12k a year, uh my dad rlly wants me to go there
denisons town is significantly wealthier than the average small town
do u want to?
wasp*
amhest yea williams ehhh
williams is like a- b tier imo
town wise
school wise its S++
bro williamstown is fire
It’s the number one in my country for my major, and is modeled around a LAC structure
Yeah williamstown goated
Good scenery and some decent restaurant nearby
Wait how do you know they did 😭
denison isnt as isolated
Yk balls
same w 5cs
Balls?
Yeah
💀
I know balls
🥀
ugh idkk
granville ohio median income like 130 k
williamstown like 100-110 k
so pretty similar
sorry what
granville close to columbus tho
thats why i have it above williamstown
and etc
(easton town center)
are u domestic or intl
idk if i’ll hate architecture if i dont end up making money and regret it
but syracuse arch is also so temptingggg
Tragic
thx
Sorry about laf
Domestic
u reached unc status
sammeee
Real
idk man
i am too
u reached unc status
?????
r u intl
What are ur stats
they dont have merit scholarships?
uh u can keep it private if u want. no pressure to share if u dont want to
i actually can’t find any international scholarships they’re like all school specific
;-;;
no im saying ill tell ppl if they ask me privately
o ok
w h y w o u l d t h e y d o t h a t
Rip
67k
67k total??
typical american
per year
intl tuition rates are that high yes
sorry jk jk
67k is very high
but i live in the us
????
can u chill im being sarcastic
my efc for syracuse is 60k after 35k of aid oml
middlebury jumpscare 🥀
holy
Had to make sure yo
ok
READ MOFO
Syracuse too expensive
before you judge others
but their arch program is sooo good
Public schools gives 0 aid to oos and intls
idkk
True….
yuh
That’s why we love LACs
I'm not judging I was confused blud
*hate LACs
Public schools barely give aid to instate man
Their tuition is lower but if that’s not enough ur fucked
What state r u in
@muted cloud
binghamton giving aid to oos 😭
NY
dude its still like 25k for in state
you cant be complaining
8k tuition
I cannot afford 25k idk what to tell you
well sorry but its still much cheaper
It's a deceiving figure
Umass*
I guess
UMass gives everyone aid lol
I’m just saying that if the sticker price is too high for a state school
I got 16k
Not everyone has 67k in their backpocket
https://studentaid.unc.edu/current/costs/ look instate and out of state
From my experience at least
can you READ
i said 25k IN STATE
i clearly said that 67k is expensive
cough two cars a year
goodness gracious
And I'm saying not everyone has the status to call that much better
Can you comprehend? 
My state school only costs me 7k a year i m so grateful
i acknowledged that too, my argument was its "way cheaper"
lovely
Yk what nvm i prob shouldn’t have even said that idk that’s my bad
State school OOS can cost more than privates and it sucks
bro crashing out at me whilst not even interpreting what i said
25k for instate is crazy
Fuck NY
Stop fighting guys you’re scaring me
i acknowledge that's what you said nor am I crashing out, I'm saying I meant something different
?
balright bro
i aint arguing with you
i actually never referred to 67k as "backpocket" or cheap, i was complaining about it myself, so the real q is whether you can
UCs:
most colleges assume parents contribute to 529 since birth
sure bro
bro is genuinely mad over discord
a2c in one sentence
rewatching the video of the guy who got rejected by lacs 💔 and got accepted into princeton
LOL IK THAT GUY
What is 529?
he's intl too
i think its where parents put money
Pretty much
US college savings account to which ur parents contribute
thats so tea where do i find that video
his channel name is stanley huang
for their undergrad
My dad lost all his money on gambling 💀💀idt our family got 529
Hey folks, is Carleton dropping at 8pm EST or CST?
Hey guys
sorry dude
drops at 8 pm est
I hope it works out for you
Thanks!
Real
I'm hoping for Williams and Brown so bad rn
but you have the graduate student role though 😭
I only got accepted to Denison

Gl Pomona applicants!!!

1.5% acceptance rate for internationals 😭

Issok I love denison
💗
They accepted me without optional essay or interview and gave me a big fat package of aid
Ain't no way I'm not loving them after that

Real

Essay*
Ew UCs are so stingy and expensive
And Umich too
I meant AOs have referenced my essays in letters lol
And Umass Amherst too
Do they actually personalize acceptance letters
I've written about who I've interviewed with before though
@muted cloud how much is coa
Like the COA for Lafayette or my personal offer?
For layg

Layf
That’s just state schools tbh
LMAO
Wait is Lafayette out?
DO WE KNOW THE SAME DUDE LMAO
92k
😭
OH CRAP
Most people in this thread got waitlisted or rejected
His profile is genuinely so mid beside from the fact that he's a transfer student
Tysm
K
🤑
same dude
They didn't give u aid??
Did they not notify 😭😭😭
be grateful for that so you don't lose it
thats how the world works
Real
I'd pay around 5000 to go there
My parents are working so hard and bro
I also got merit
Nope!

Where r u from (just the area don't need the specific country if you don't feel comfortable)
Lmaooo
dms
Got in!!
Alr
congratssss
CONGRATZ
I m not paying more than 30k for a college
congrats!!!
Mine for them is my 2nd best offer rn
I'd be going to Richmond for 3k, Lafayette for like 5-6 roughly
Idk tho it’s still lowkey expensive I don’t get need 😭
Indeed
Better apply for external scholarships bucko
Yupp
Although worst case I think I can negotiate for some need and the rest my parents are lowkey rich so
That’s amazing Richmond gave me no aid 💀💀
Still tho
Their need blind asses probably cried when they saw my financials after admissions
Idk how to say it but like it’s awesome that you got into like a pretty competitive college and got like a pretty generous offer
💀💀💀
Yeah them and Lafayette have given me solid aid
We'll see what happens with the others
There's a good chance I end up a spider though
If I get into like WASP / T20s or whatever it’s like rip to my parents wallets
That’s awesome
I know someone who went to Richmond and she’s super happy there
I ain't getting squat from my parents I've gone into this knowing I gotta do this solo
Damm
That's crazy
I suppose them being poor has helped
0 SAI
LOL
😭😭😭
Anyways congrats I gotta go sleep cus time zones
Alr bro gn
