LOL
CONGRATZZZZ
YAY!! CONGRATS
idk like rn i'm really just holding out hope for Wesleyan / BU / NYU and Colgate or Yale would be a nice surprise ๐ญ
Bro got 5 seconds to decide
nice!
same for wesleyan
thatโs kinda the last place i have a shot
Holy shit
iโm scared i think iโm the only one in the region who got yale interview
I keep asking around and no one nearbyโs gotten one
NYU gave me an interview so I am very very hopeful for that but fuckk I don't want to attend a six week college bootcamp ๐ญ๐
The first person to have an interview at an interviewerโs house
๐ญ
I didnt get one im so nervous
you just gave me a heart attack lmfaooo
It probably varies a bit year to year
me bc I didnt get a yale interview:
2023 looking devious
best engagement bait of all time
didn't even try to
Is Grinnell today
im still waiting for a couple so i have to weigh my options but maybe!! wait im so shocked whats going on
Fire
What r ur other opts
Colby is rlly good
The only thing bad about Colby is their stupid cold weather
i was this close to screaming
colby, bates, college of the holy cross, and u toronto are my top options rn!
Some would consider location bad although I wpuld not
bro i need it cold as possible subzero temperatures i should go to alaska bro
Holy bates
Fire
yeahh
i think all of you have applied to amherst and bowdoin
im from new england so im used to the cold now haha
uoft is so goated, i might end up there too
NOOOO I GOT WAITLISTED ๐
oh nice!!
yes
Same
i am unfortunately a westchester warrior personally ๐
SAMEEEE
i hate this place
Well technically not
Fire
acc ts lwk a dub cuz i needed aid as an intl
W
y'all, I hate lobster and maine is too cold for me
thank u
What's ur efc
AYYY mass rep
im not even on the wl
colgate if you can hear me PLEASE SAVE US
Colby waitlist
like 25k
PLEASE TOOTHPASTE GOD
I'm international student studying here tho so I shouldn't be counted as Mass rep lmao
omg as an alaskan i almost did not survive massachusetts winter tbh
damn ๐ญ
same^
okay i need to go to ma then
ty for the tip
im waiting for privates to hit
new england winter is brutal
i got 9a but my cheapest option is a suny school with 80k overall cost ๐ญ๐
they mostly all rejected me
Wait what
like bro dpmo college is so unaffordable for me
I'm so confused
williams when?
does the rest of the LACs come out later in the evening
yeah same
i got into a lot of state schools
So guys I don't get it. For the best LACs you need to have a good profile, but not too good so you won't get yield protected?

im waiting for privates to hut rn
But most of them don't give out good aid for int
hit
you need really good DI
Why u even bother to apply state school bro
exactly ๐
What
I got waitlisted from 7 LACs so I think its def yield management
Knowing that their aid is L
oh does colby yield protect ๐ญ
demon interest
well i didnt really know the meta during early rounds
you need to fit the school's culture
yes ive heard so
fire
they have bad yield
so i locked in for rd
i'll say it was that
Bro you got into Yale so def yield
holy cope
is williams today?
๐ฅ
Thats why I got waitlisted
yeah
didnt u get likely?
wesleyan and colgate will see how good i fit in with the culture despite never even researching either school frfr
yess TRUSTTTT
got into pomona yesterday so I will convince myself this is yield protetion
Oof
Dude ive been waitlisted from SEVEN LACs in the same rankjng area as colby
GOD I LOVE COLGATE SM
TRUST (i wrote about pizza 6 times in their supplementals)
I DID SO MUCH RESEARCH AND DID THE SUPPS
for colby? i got some email asking me to fill out some application for their presidential scholars program and filled it out late and spent twenty minutes on it
PLEASE COLGATE
i fucked up colgate so bad ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
good luck everyone!!!
I hate Colgate so much so if all goes wrong donโt even gaf about it
Bro Pomona is good just ignore Colby atp
allegedly that email is a good sign but i def fumbled it
Damn
i got it too, rejected, so maybe it isnt a likely
How do I know if I hit the spot?
"9/10 dentists recommended this university, and as a pre dental student i see myself as a great fit"
ahh interesting maybe not then
yield protected.
yessir
did something come out
Colby
sad
i used colgate toothpaste last night. i pay for your existence with my (parents') MONEY so pls take me.
biggest fumble of all time because wtf
exactly
that's something at least
holy mutual server
colgate should rank high for premed then
i'm so nervous bro like
if i don't get into any of the schools i have left how am i going to afford college ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
if nyu rejects me after my interview ill be so devastated bro
well no offense to you but i hope i get one or two more good acceptances so that I can leave our other mutual server for good
#same
friggamarole waitlisted colby
Heh..1 but itโs cmc and ik im getting rejected so idc
Wouldnโt go anyways ๐
nine decisions on one day is absolutely insane man
im deadass just wondering if my profile was ass bc how did i get waitlisted at one of my safeties
๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
i got waitlisted at occidental
i am going to stay up till 2 am my time to get decisions tonight
its all yield protection
thoughts on Colby WL
which one?
Less than 2% accp
i got waitlisted by northeastern so yeah
๐
syracuse, i was gonna visit but my schedule didn't line up :(( they prolly yield protected
northeastern rejected because i needed aid prob
as long as colby wl isn't a bad sign for williams and ucla ๐
that was OD long ago bro
alas
that was 2019
theyโve changed their admissions I feel like
Check 2023 smthng
guys does common app vs coalition make a difference?
my dad didnโt let me apply to colgate. when i asked him for money for the fee he was like wtf am i supposed to do? tell your family in kazakhstan that you go to toothpaste university? sybau
cause 4/8 on common app, 0/3 on coalition
O oops mbmb
LMAOOOOO
free application so uh
this is so funny
It was free in October i lowk forgot
Iโd like to hear my family member at Toothpaste University ๐ญ
oh yeah i got the colgate application fee waiver bc i sent it in october and proceeded to forget
LMAO
i was fully ready to pay the $60 too ๐ญ didn't even realize
free all the time
I feel a little bad for actually applying for finaid. Like wtf if even domestic can't get money
No it isnโt
for intls
ohh fire
Oh cool i live in New York though
thats why its a 2-3% acceptance rate
rejected colby
welcome to da clerb
oh well we got washu and Colgate rn
ayyy
I didn't

i didnt do supps so its fried but
me but no supps so now i'm predicting another waitlist ๐ญ
LET MY COLGATE APPLICATION STICK
yes
PLEASE DEAR GOD
oh lol all of u didnt do supps
toothpaste university gotta go well
im crine
didn't even know they had supps ngl
i did all the supps
am i the only one that did supps?
all 3 wow
i did everything.
Yo I fogor to write the supps ๐
i did 2 of them
for colgate
apparently i did? don't remember but it shows as completed
i just want white teeth ๐
Wait yall
did colby have optional supps
oops and colgate is another one of the five schools i didn't send my art supplement to
got lazy
When will WashU come out
okay fair
Colgate better accept me...
same lol
i suffer from british teeth syndrome
I didn't apply to Colgate
๐
ok shit so i didn't send art supp to colby, colgate, carleton, amherst, williams, and middlebury
that's tragic
did you do supps?
I withdrew from Colgate ๐ช
no i dont think so
that doesn't change your application prospects
wl colby but it was fine for carleton and amherst
we'll see about colgate williams and middlebury ig
yo I didn't submit optional essay, pretty cooked right?
No lmao I'm international
bro why do you care
ohhhhhhh
i really think it does.
to write activities section and honors section you have almost double the characters you get on common app.
for people who struggled to compress their activity, coalition makes a huge difference.
They care about aid
amherst wanted me to get a LOR from an art teacher, never took art formally lol
im having more trouble on coalition so far
YES SAME
fah ๐ฅ
this is objectively not true
i just spent my entire additional information yapping about my main EC
Bro you're a graphic design major tf u mean u never took art seriously
๐ญ
nah im not
yes it is bro ๐ญ
that just means i made something for the server
Yale is obviously amaaaaazing but this is a crazy thing to say lolol
OHHHH
only LAC that I applied to without forgoring anything is middlebury
who of you had an interview for middlebury as well?
I didnt do the middlebury interview
KAZAKHSTAN MENTIONED RAAAAAAH
Me
i kept getting emails about it and ignored them
I didn't get one
liberal arts colleges have unmatched undergraduate resources, especially ones like williams and amherst
yale is objectively not 100x better because everyone seeks something different in their college education???
is yale closest to being a LAC without being a LAC?
DEADASS REJECTED FROM COLBY SECOND YEAR IN THE ROW
wait this is probably a bad thing
yeah you're cooked
i would assume so to be honest
Who interviewed u
german guy
Damn fire
guys when is williams droping
omg i hope so, i need williams so bad i dont wanna pay 10k a year for my state school ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
yeah i think teaching at LACs is so much better
predicted 7PM Eastern
yess absolutely, idk what that guy is on lmfao
we had a good conversation, i don't think we had that much in common but we had a nice talk
is it too late to do one ๐ฅ
its fine we ball
vasaar had me do an interview like last week?
i want to be in hs for another 4 years
damn
so LACS make sense
you still have like 29 hours until decisions release yeah that's PLENTY ๐ญ
nvm it's less than that
9am
8am
Vassar only send out interview for competitive international applicants
does vassar send interviews to domestics
Same w wash lee I think
i did not receive one
yeah but wash lee less so
No
they wanted to prove I speak english. i go to an IB school, i have a 7 in english lang-lit, i don't get why they need to prove I speak english but i'll take it for sure
Tru tru

Holy crack
dayum good job mate
SAME lmao

That's not possible
it was insane
some guy on a2c asked me if he should do a levels, and cbse and prep for JEE
AINT NO WAY BRO

nah its real she got oxford, yale, pomona, and jhu so far lol
WHAT THE FUCK
Do NOT let my Asian parents KNOW that
THATS MY COMP

Jeffrey Edward Epstein?
HOLY CHRISt
๐ฅ
jee is like gaokao but indian
๐ฅgoated
They didn't give me any scholarships
noooooo
i would need to pay $10k for oxford but they denied me
Tragedy
fuck it we ball
i wanted to apply to cambridge
yepppp
parents said couldnt apply outside america tho
who needs to be posh anyway
yale is better than oxford
yale isnt uh doing u any favors on that comment
๐ฅ
isnt yale super posh
i'm irish as well as german and american so i would have gotten home fees at oxford because of some agreement between ireland and germany
bro u need to stfu about yale ๐ญ

yale glazer?
yes
thats the onyl thing i know about that college
๐
what a queen
it's in amherst ma and it's part of the 5 college consortium with smith, moho, hampshire, and umass
but i think that refers to the town
whens the next lac?
i hope i get into smith
^meaning you can take classes at any of those other four!
umass is so goated
it would be really funny
i think amherst
also OPEN CURRICULUM^^^^^^^^
no domestic
unless there's a surprise
I ed1 and got deferred I'm so mad
yes!
O nice nice
and purple mammoth!

Lowkey id choose cmu over smith
MAMMOTHSSSSSSS

Ii love their fin aid team at amherst
R u trans?

YEAH ๐
I'm so confused
LMAO
oh ur the guy who applied to like three women's colleges

they reply to my emails quickly
๐ญ
wellesley fricking withdrew me
LMAO
I thought you didn't apply to any LACs
AINT NO WAY
oh they replied to me to within an hour lol
wonder why ๐ญ
๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
smith hasnt noticed or at least hasnt told me about it
7 pm speculated
I emailed them a while back and they looked into my file about my transcirpts and didnt mention that i was a man
so fingers crossed
for all they know you're a trans woman lol
amherst 1 hr finaid reply is ๐
est
3 am
did they ask on the form whether i was a guy on coalition
because if they did i wouldve put i was one
IM STAYING UP ALL NIGHT LISTENING TO MUSIC

if u log in early, no email goes out btw
๐๐I didnโt get one crap, do they email ppl
YIELD PROTECTION
if you join and give a loci or something that lowk improves your chances probably
colby's yield is ass and they prob just need to know you're actually interested
my demonstrated interest of HELL
no this is exactly why it's a yield protection lol
oh colby
ahh makes sense
how do they even track demonstrated itnerest
they track link visits
and email clicks
^
im not joking
the only interactions i had with colby was clicking apply on coalition
Wtf
i dont think i even went to the website once
i was visiting their links and clicking their emails so hardโฆ๐
i thought they had none
art supplementals
maybe research?
and they also emailed some ppl additional program applications
yeah, it's for a NY-exclusive program though so i'm pretty sure an extremely extremely small amount of people were interviewed. dw about it ๐ญ
yeah i got one for the uh
like maybe ~300 and only a third of those will get in as far as i know
it was one focused on humanitarian projects
or if u ask for interview on colby^, or apply to scholars programs (i applied late) or add an optional update, or add more stuff
WE TALKED ABOUT THISI THINK
yeah i also applied late to the scholars thing
or i did it after the original deadline but before the extended one
right..
YES
You got an interview at least
Im praying for that interview on march 25th ๐
i think im being teased
ive had interviews at like 5 schools
Watch Grinnell drop at 6
AYYY ITS A SIGN
wait 21st or 20th?
20th
I had that many and I applied to 67 bro
fuck all my decisions are on 21st my time
You have way more % sent interview
