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

[willow patio]

Your counsellor might have submitted it

[glass hornet]

Chat I m so excited for Grinnell and Davidson

That’s my last 2 LACs

I only applied to 4

[tough mantle]

That’s about how many I applied to

Well a little more

[astral knot]

glll

[glass hornet]

I got UCLA and UCSD today but I know fs I m not getting in

[astral knot]

i only applied to 2

[astral knot]

u never know

[glass hornet]

I m relying on Grinnell

https://klipy.com/gifs/im-so-fucking-scared-squid-game

[astral knot]

what time is it

[glass hornet]

Grinnell could be any time

They delayed their decisions this year

[astral knot]

boutta be a jumpscare

my pomona ed2 was a jumpscare

i woke up from a nap and it was out

[glass hornet]

Why tf is Grinnell in Iowa

Where is that

I should’ve just done Bates

At least it’s in Maine

https://tenor.com/view/jinx-the-cat-jinx-jinx-cat-cat-computer-gif-25786466

[tough mantle]

Maine isn’t much better 💀

[muted cloud]

ok but lobster

[upper glade]

maine mogs

montreal is close

and you can ski

[tough mantle]

There’s no big cities in Maine

So no fun

[tough mantle]

Screw skiing I wanna go shopping 😭

[muted cloud]

ok but there's lobster

[tough mantle]

Overrated af

[glass hornet]

Maine got seafoods

[tough mantle]

Worst seafood

[muted cloud]

Maryland mogs Maine for seafood

Crabs are so goated

[tough mantle]

Crab legs are the best

Only better seafood is Shrimp

[glass hornet]

I hate fish

[muted cloud]

Eh

For king crab

Blue crab has a sweeter flavor but there's less meat, the real meat is in the body not the legs though

For blue crabs anyway

[glass hornet]

The yellow thing in the crab is good

[tough mantle]

Idk if I’ve ever had actual crab

[muted cloud]

King crab isn't as flavorful

[glass hornet]

Idk if y’all had it before

It’s really good

[muted cloud]

Mustard?? You aren't supposed to have too much of it. It's actually their liver lol

[tough mantle]

I just really love Shrimp

[muted cloud]

You'll be fine in moderation though

[muted cloud]

I used to live on the gulf and it's GAS

Blackened shrimp

Mmffmdnndjd

[tough mantle]

Deep Fried Shrimp is disgraceful though

[loud helm]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/817461829566726144/1478942947667083385/twitter-gif-2029222639198195759_69a8ea7d15aef.gif

[muted cloud]

Unfortunately I didn't have gulf shrimp for a few years because of deep water horizon

It's good again though

[muted cloud]

Eh

[muted cloud]

I fw it sometimes but regular fried shrimp is better

[glass hornet]

idk if it’s the same thing

[muted cloud]

The yellow in crab is the mustard

It's the liver

[tough mantle]

I can’t see this my internet sucks ass

[muted cloud]

You can eat it but consume in moderation because it's a filter organ and it can absorb nastiness from the water

@glass hornet

[tough mantle]

Sushi is alright

[glass hornet]

I m excited for Florida too.

Florida is also by the sea

Must have shit ton of seafoods

Is there any LACs in FL even ??

[waxen lava]

[jaunty canyon]

fr

[rose ruin]

amherst 6:12 or something like that

[vernal hare]

Why so specific

6:21 mb

[vernal hare]

Thats not their founding dates

[vernal hare]

Do not even worry

[flint summit]

lol. why did they make a combined subgroup for all the LACs

[devout spindle]

I like 13 too ngl should’ve applied

[rose ruin]

#demonstratedinterest

[empty knoll]

cause too few applicants

[devout spindle]

Each individual thread would shrivel up and die

[flint summit]

makes sense

[devout spindle]

Even then some unis don’t have threads

[empty knoll]

my di for colgate is cooked lol

[vernal hare]

Washington and lee comes out today

[devout spindle]

Villanova anyone

[empty knoll]

[rose ruin]

[empty crow]

I didn’t do them because I forgot about it

[rose ruin]

[vernal hare]

Did ya get the adcom interview

[empty crow]

“What is your favorite book” 💀

[rose ruin]

oh fire

[empty knoll]

holy yap

[empty crow]

Yeah basically not that much impact

[devout spindle]

Everyone wants to be an Ivy but the ivies

[rose ruin]

LACs are way underrated to be fair

[empty knoll]

nope i didnt get anything except request for additional docs from me and my counsellor

[rose ruin]

but the Ivy league is a sports league🥀

[empty knoll]

ikr

[devout spindle]

You’ll see random ass schools going HIDDEN IVY SMALL IVY PUBLIC IVY NICHE IVY LAC IVY but not even the ivies call themselves ivies be fr

[empty knoll]

public ivy

[devout spindle]

Exactly

[empty knoll]

[rose ruin]

pretty much💀

[languid coral]

my mom eats up the little ivy title 😭😭😭

[devout spindle]

My mom does too

[empty knoll]

mine with the public ivy thing lol

[devout spindle]

Like “why didn’t you apply to Lehigh….. it is …. A little Ivy……”

Every Binghamton thing i went to said they’re a public Ivy

[vernal hare]

Wlu gave me a fullpaid visit to them next week but i dragged it out and asked for two extensions to make a decision and ended up not going because i felt bad wasting their money when im definitely not committing there

[devout spindle]

Be so fr even if that was a thing it wouldn’t be you bing

[rose ruin]

my dual enrollment college is covered in ivy does that make it an ivy

[vernal hare]

But i also feel really bad for wasting their time with those extensions

[empty knoll]

whats wlu?

[winged mesa]

wait, did you ask for one or did they just give you one

[winged mesa]

washington and lee

[empty knoll]

i didnt know they did full paid visit

[vernal hare]

Washington and lee

[empty knoll]

[vernal hare]

[vernal hare]

Theyre one of the few need blind schools right

[vernal hare]

It came with my likely letters

RISE program it was called

[empty knoll]

yes, they prolly have like insane rd application numbers

[winged mesa]

i've written pomona a very nice mail if they can fly me out, i just want to go to california even though there's a 80% chance i won't end up committing

[vernal hare]

I wanted to visit wlu for the outing club

I heard its very good

[empty knoll]

[vernal hare]

You shouldn’t say that

[vernal hare]

I think i emailed it to amherst tho

Bc i couldnt find it again

[empty knoll]

wait lemme find out how many admits they had ED

[vivid prairie]

weslyan uni's decision date

[vivid prairie]

@junior field

[vocal schooner]

Noceee

[empty knoll]

whats ED stats for amherst?

[vernal hare]

I have a decision everyday until friday next week bar Sunday

[empty knoll]

does anyone know

[vernal hare]

Its like an advent calendar

[vocal schooner]

At least there’s a date

[vernal hare]

I hope to get into swarthmore today to make askdrhoffman proud of me

[vivid prairie]

you mean number?

[empty knoll]

yes

[vivid prairie]

have they anounced the exact number?

[empty knoll]

they shouldve for ED on the letter right?

[vivid prairie]

idk man

[vocal schooner]

Where did you get this

I didn’t receive the email 😢

[empty knoll]

counsellor email i believe

[vivid prairie]

my counselor got this

[vocal schooner]

Ohh ok

That makes sense

[vernal hare]

@vocal schooner are you a big askdrhoffman fan

[tough mantle]

What

[empty knoll]

216 admits last year for amherst ED

[vocal schooner]

I was his first customer

[fickle tundra]

guys when is Grinnell comint out

pls tell

[vernal hare]

Did he not start last year

[vocal schooner]

🙂

[vernal hare]

I love the big hoff

[vocal schooner]

I can find the invoice

I was 0002

[empty knoll]

39% yield for amherst overall

[vocal schooner]

That’s quit low

For a school like Amherst

[vivid prairie]

they make up 45%

of the class

[empty knoll]

i think they have a lot of cross admits

with HYP

[empty knoll]

yeah im just using yield wait to calculate number of rd acceptances

[glass hornet]

I m not ready

[vernal hare]

@vocal schooner did you apply to the big swarth

[glass hornet]

https://klipy.com/gifs/im-so-fucking-scared-squid-game

[empty knoll]

i think 680 people are getting in to amherst RD

[vocal schooner]

Yeh

[vivid prairie]

how many accepted shown in the cds of 2024-2025?

[vocal schooner]

Probs yeh

[vernal hare]

Were both making dr hoffman proud today

[glass hornet]

Is it possible to get into swat with a 3.7 gpa

[vernal hare]

I applied just for him

[glass hornet]

https://klipy.com/gifs/im-so-fucking-scared-squid-game

[vocal schooner]

Let’s gooo

[empty knoll]

1222

[carmine light]

Yup, Amherst and Williams cross admit with other t20s pretty often, especially being a LAC most humanities majors will still prefer ivies

[glass hornet]

Chat I m so cooked

[empty knoll]

wait my 680 doesnt exactly make sense

[vivid prairie]

they will have similar then

[vivid prairie]

we can multiply the admit rate by total applicants

0.07 * 17500

[empty knoll]

they recieved 14k RD applications last year

1k ED apps

[carmine light]

But admit rate overall doesn’t differentiate between rd and ed

[vivid prairie]

1225

comes out as total

[vivid prairie]

it does for lacs
but the overall is 7% so like we can calculate roughly and it will be mostly right

[vivid prairie]

around this much will be admitted in total ig

[carmine light]

Checks out based on previous years

[empty knoll]

okay 3 more than last year lol

1000 RD acceptances ish

makes sense

[fringe topaz]

time to go to sleep and wake up to the decisions

good luck yall

[empty knoll]

good night! and good luck!

[fringe topaz]

may ao have mercy on me

[vivid prairie]

it's just a rought estimate though
they said 17500+ but i doubt they got 18k applicants so somewhere between 17.5k-18k

[fringe topaz]

[sharp belfry]

fuck yea

[rancid flax]

98K COA down to 8K

[sharp belfry]

just an email saying theyre releasing next week

no date just sometiime next week

[vernal hare]

I got my carleton app withdrawn

[soft cobalt]

oh yeah but you think they would be more specific 😭

ik they've decided already

[rancid flax]

they also flagged my file for sports recruitment im like 99% sure 😭

[sharp belfry]

what im saying like 💔 just tell me

ii need to be able to block out my week's anxiety

[soft cobalt]

im guessing pre ivy day tho

[rancid flax]

im scared for the big y.

[sharp belfry]

real....

[soft cobalt]

yeah same actually

[rancid flax]

i mean this sounds like a u fault

[vernal hare]

So rude of them smh

[rancid flax]

i got an email from carleton every day saying upload the files how did u ignore them 😭

[vernal hare]

Uh

I was lazy

[zealous bloom]

Then you did that to yourself 🥀

[empty knoll]

me with UW madison

[vernal hare]

I applied to so may skibidi schools that i couldnt discern which were worth my time

[faint sleet]

the shade of the amherst banner at the top of the page is a bit more dark now. #noticing

[sharp belfry]

is skibidi an adjective here or used for emphasis

[vernal hare]

Adjective

A skibidi school is a school like drake or Oklahoma university

[sharp belfry]

ohhhh

LOL

[empty knoll]

idt it has changed

[cunning plover]

Ive never had more than 1 decision in a day till today

this is so stressful

[vernal hare]

It means youre in because now theyre underlaying the accepted banner which causes the two colours to blend and enhance the shade

[faint sleet]

at 6:21 pm this will be proven factually true

[cunning plover]

Imma spend the hours till the decisions watching youtube college decision reaction videos

[vernal hare]

You can check this now by looking at the html

[empty knoll]

first day with 9 decisions, another one on the 26th lol

[vernal hare]

If you cant find it youre not searching hard enough

[flint summit]

lmaoo, actually that was the original reason why they called the ivy leagues "ivy". like yale had a ivy planting tradition and other ivies had something similar. lool

[faint sleet]

go on

[cunning plover]

Oh fuck thats a lot i have 3 today and 4 next week

[vernal hare]

Just mess around in the source code

[empty knoll]

indeed

[cunning plover]

gl

[faint sleet]

i have a good feeling about amherst

today is the day

[waxen lava]

im expecting them to offer around 150-160 people admission for intl

(im delusional)

their early write mentions they target class of 500

13% international

[faint sleet]

cds last year was 92 total

[waxen lava]

thats around 65

65 intls they want

so they have to offer a bit more because of yield

idk how much % of yield to consider

idk about ED/RD too

[waxen lava]

cds 2 years ago was 150

[cunning plover]

Yeah but some would have been in ED and all ED ones would commit

[waxen lava]

ATP bro im hoping for anything but rejection

[cunning plover]

i dont realistically seeing them admitting enough

[waxen lava]

waitlist maybe a factor this time?

idk

[cunning plover]

like maybe 50 internationals in RD i would guess?

[waxen lava]

Probably a bit more

considering visa uncertainity or etc from the intls

[vernal hare]

Is vassar on the 23rd

[cunning plover]

Fair enough

[faint sleet]

i spent the most time on my amherst apps

and probably columbia

[waxen lava]

most even for elite schools will weigh a llot options before commiting to USA

[vernal hare]

I cant wait for 24th

[waxen lava]

especially ROI, their OPT etc

[vernal hare]

Smith comes out

[waxen lava]

potential for work visa in future

lot of stuff for intl to consider

so ig and hope amherst is a bit more incentivized to offer more intls acceptances?

[turbid ibex]

24 or smthng no?

[zealous bloom]

I submitted my bad PS to Williams

But I had a good supp so we’ll see

[faint sleet]

intls have it hard

good luck

[vocal schooner]

Williams had a supp?

[waxen lava]

yuh

but im hoping

[vocal schooner]

Thought it was just the graded paper

[waxen lava]

https://giphy.com/gifs/meme-pray-guy-praying-OmqRHI3lSX7jR97WjZ

[zealous bloom]

Yeah I meant the graded paper

[vocal schooner]

Ah okey

[turbid ibex]

Williams has sup?

5(

Wtf

[vocal schooner]

They had the option to submit a graded paper as an optional supplement

But it seems to be really optional

[cunning plover]

oh opposite for me

[faint sleet]

ppl from my school do get accepted 2/6 accepted from naviance

[cunning plover]

I was so done with all the jan 1st deadlines that i put like no effort into the jan 5th ones

[faint sleet]

yep

[soft skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/danganronpa-kyoko-kirigiri-after-school-lesson-gif-6483675630744807798

[fervent turtle]

im praying my arts supp does something for me…

[soft skiff]

39 you say...?

[faint sleet]

doesnt amherst emal an application update like 5 mins before its released for some ppl?

5 hours left

[vernal hare]

Yes

[soft skiff]

Ok, 37 without China and India

[vernal hare]

It really is an advent calendar now

[soft skiff]

How do u know when's Vassar

And Georgetown

[vernal hare]

Predicted based on last year

[fervent turtle]

south to miamii

[soft skiff]

I'm so scared

[vernal hare]

Miami ohio

[fervent turtle]

lmaooooo

no briteline service

[vernal hare]

So just east

[soft skiff]

It's not even decisions time yet

But damn

That's some terrifying shi

[vernal hare]

Is that ghost of tsuhima

[floral coral]

fuckkk

[soft skiff]

Yes

[vernal hare]

A decision a day keeps the rejections away

[sharp belfry]

47 us states.. pls let one of them be alaska...

[soft skiff]

Are you from Alaska?

Damn

[sharp belfry]

yes

[vernal hare]

Genuinely how are they missing 3

Not a single person from 3 states??

[sharp belfry]

i wonder which 3

i mean they only admit like 1200 people or something

so its not too crazy

[waxen lava]

bro where did u find this

oh ur counselor got email ok

[junior field]

Ty!

[waxen lava]

amherst admitted about 1250 i assume

we know amherst targeted about 500 incoming class
so uh about 215 taken in ED this year so uh probably they admit 1035 in RD to fill in about 285 remaining seats

probably ballpark estimations

[cunning plover]

I would assume their yeild is slightly higher right? so they wont need that many to fill out 285?

[empty knoll]

very bad yield

[empty knoll]

no their yield is around 39% including ED options

[cunning plover]

Oh

[waxen lava]

yeah its just ballpark estimations

nothing too conclusive since we dont know breakdown

[empty knoll]

26% is a good estimate for RD Yield

[soft skiff]

What

[waxen lava]

yuh

[soft skiff]

Idk what the freak ur talking abt

[soft skiff]

Ohhh

[sharp belfry]

like the percentage of admitted students who accept the offer of admission and commit to amherst. thats yield

[soft skiff]

So they formed 2-3 classes

And that's why 1000+ ppl

Ok ok

[wraith grove]

Chat how do we know Wesleyan is coming out on the 25th?

[soft skiff]

Then I still don’t get it sorry

https://tenor.com/view/chicken-scream-tree-rooster-screaming-gif-14660175817695268947

I'm gen confused

[waxen lava]

around 130-145 people should be admitted this year in RD

[sharp belfry]

it doesnt even matter anyway tbh all this stuff is just admissions math for nerds

[waxen lava]

if my math is right

for intl

[soft skiff]

Holy shit

[soft skiff]

I'm fucking cooked

https://tenor.com/view/jogo-sukuna-ryomen-jujutsu-kaisen-jjk-gif-12910466074930766968

[waxen lava]

im chekcing my work

give me a min

[soft skiff]

Just holy shit

A chance is basically 1/100

Let's just not forget there were def more than 132 applicants😭🙏

[waxen lava]

Amherst will likely admit 130 to 145 international students to fill about 45 remaining international RD seats

idk how to split the 130-145 admits for the world though

[empty knoll]

iirc intl yield is higher

[waxen lava]

Im estimating lower

this year

because of uncertainity

[empty knoll]

10 for china, 5 for india

rest have 1-2

[soft skiff]

Just pls

[waxen lava]

india china population same though

[soft skiff]

Let me be the only applicant from Ukraine this year

[waxen lava]

i would probably keep it probably same

[empty knoll]

yes but they like chinese applicants more these days

[soft skiff]

[waxen lava]

uh

ok

[empty knoll]

they take very few indians

[waxen lava]

I see

we dont know that though

thier class profile just shows how many enrolled

[empty knoll]

u can check enrolment figures

[waxen lava]

Enrolled is diff from admitted

[empty knoll]

and then estimate based on yield

[waxen lava]

probably i would say <10

[empty knoll]

usually amherst has intl cross admits with HYP

[waxen lava]

for india

they will waitlist people also from india too

i would say this year they admit around 7-8 from india

waitlist probably another 10 or so

[empty knoll]

makes sense

[empty knoll]

more id say

[waxen lava]

i see

what do u estimate

im not sure abt waitlist math

[empty knoll]

maybe 15

lol

[waxen lava]

ok

lmao

[empty knoll]

not that much more

[waxen lava]

makes sense

[empty knoll]

bro yall gotta hopemaxx

stats making you lose hope

[waxen lava]

fr

[empty knoll]

yall gotta up ur game

[waxen lava]

all this stats makes me doomed lmao

these numbers are very small
