bowdoin gave me a stupid amount of hope LMAOO im def not getting off the waitlist but now i know my app isn’t that bad

[fervent turtle]

[low axle]

Yea it’s probably a me thing ngl

Thx vro u2

[tough garnet]

is barnard under columbia?

[sinful totem]

probably wednesday next week

[rapid creek]

officially, it is a separate institution. its admissions, financial aid, trustees, and other formal processes are separate. however, it is affiliated with Columbia and allows cross-registration with the university's colleges, and I believe grants degrees co-signed by the two

[sinful totem]

might as well update this for now in case people have questions lmao

[rocky pelican]

im so scared

[tough garnet]

oh i see

[rocky pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/woman-cigarette-explosion-anxiety-smoking-gif-17119538503488643283

[shut mural]

[weary cobalt]

Tho I don’t think I’m getting in 😭

[honest token]

Ayn Rand I think

[shut mural]

Lowk I think my supplement was like bad

Cuz I focused too much on her pov

[sinful totem]

I mean i don’t really have that many complaints aside from the snobbiness of my year and the freshmen especially

a lotta people are kinda assholes

[rocky pelican]

The two worst girls I knew last year go to vassar rn for track

https://tenor.com/view/sarah-jessica-parker-icon-screen-legend-cinema-gif-12662360

[sinful totem]

i can imagine LOL

a lot of people here are evil or snobby as fuck

not even in like an old money way either

[hardy island]

Dang

[sinful totem]

in like a larp as brooklyn or socal resident way

[hardy island]

Is the campus nice

[sinful totem]

so like annoying trust fund people

[sinful totem]

yes

[rocky pelican]

Wtff

[weary cobalt]

oh! 🫩

[hardy island]

Noice

[sinful totem]

there are a lot of nice people but also just average rich kid things

you’ll see that at most lacs

[weary cobalt]

Brooklyn mention but at what cost 🫩🫩

[sinful totem]

specifically bushwick

like bro you’re from long island not brooklyn 😭😭😭😣😣😣

[weary cobalt]

😭😭

[tough garnet]

oh fun

[sinful totem]

my only complaints really are just like the rich people

LMAO

but that’s like what u get at a lac i guess

[tough garnet]

i wrote abt jenny mccarthy

[empty crow]

😭😭😭

[sinful totem]

oh also like food could be better…….

it’s pretty mid second semester

because like we get funding at the beginning of the academic year afaik

so it’s rly good and then like goes on a steady decline

[weary cobalt]

How are classes?

[sinful totem]

good and honestly not that bad but i will say i struggle quite a bit because im currently not on meds for adhd 🫩

im a math major w a philosophy minor

math classes here are good but i will say the pure math department is lacking in depth (probably because we’re focusing on stats and applied…….. they have so many classes……)

[hardy island]

Lul

They gotta spread it out better

[sinful totem]

Yeah i agree

It’s not like it’s

inedible

but it’s pretty mid

though there are some very good random days

[hardy island]

Got all those rich kids for what bro

[sinful totem]

Genuinely like 50% of my class is full pay

🫩🫩🫩

[hardy island]

Insane

[sinful totem]

96k a year sticker price btw

[weary cobalt]

Understandable

[sinful totem]

[sinful totem]

[glass hornet]

I think I might be cooked for Davidson

[sinful totem]

got my package and it was 9k

though my house is def why im not on a full ride LMAO

I feel like I disappointed dr hoffman

🥀

[glossy lagoon]

No emails yet

[vivid prairie]

He is coming

[vocal schooner]

Nah

[vocal schooner]

Don’t feel that way

Swarthmore is very selective

I had less than a 1% chance anyways 😅

[vernal hare]

I wasnt going to go there but i wanted to tell dr hoffman about getting in

He was so happy when i told him about cmu

[glass hornet]

If I get into Davidson I’ll treat myself 3 cups of boba

If I don’t get in I’ll get 5

Cuz I just likes boba

Wellesley students actively seek ways to build bridges and to change the world for the better. Tell us about an experience working with and alongside people of different backgrounds and/or perspectives from your own. Why was this important to you, and what lessons from this will you bring with you to Wellesley? (2 paragraphs, 400 words)

[fickle tundra]

[upper glade]

LMAO

[vocal schooner]

I wonder if they counted this in their application numbers

[fiery flame]

Abba

[vernal hare]

Well its withdrawn

[vocal schooner]

[vernal hare]

Probably not

[sharp belfry]

it says on their website they only consider applicants who self identify as women

[vernal hare]

Maybe thats why smith didnt withdraw me

[vocal schooner]

An all women liberal arts college with 1% of their applications made up of males

[honest token]

if u actually get a decision from smith im gonna be so dead

[vernal hare]

I hope they just assumed I transitioned and my recommender dont know

[sharp belfry]

dont tell me they had application fees

[glossy lagoon]

How the hell did you got into CMU at all

[vernal hare]

I dont think they had a box

That asked for my gender

If they did i wouldve put guy

[sharp belfry]

bro all colleges see your sex and gender identity

[honest token]

isnt it on ur common app tho

i thought

[vernal hare]

I did coalition

[sharp belfry]

its in ur commonapp eyah

[glossy lagoon]

Like you wrote essays without even doing researchs and its still good enuff to het in

[honest token]

oh

[upper glade]

[vernal hare]

No clue if it has that

[honest token]

[steep ivy]

[sharp belfry]

omg...

[steep ivy]

ts frying me

[sharp belfry]

yep but not ftm

[upper glade]

ohh

[vernal hare]

Was it a yes only box or a women or guy box

[steep ivy]

[sharp belfry]

[vernal hare]

Uhm

[sharp belfry]

[vernal hare]

I cant see it

I dont know if I just clicked it without looking

[honest token]

[vernal hare]

I dont think they had that box

I woudlve noticed

[sharp belfry]

just go everyone will assume ur stone butch

[upper glade]

did you apply for the love of the game

[glossy lagoon]

The probelm is why are you applying to schools without research lol

I mean how did you decide which one to apply

[rocky pelican]

he/him lesbian!

[honest token]

shay js curious did u apply to wellelsey/barnard

[sharp belfry]

facts

[honest token]

i keep butchering welelsey

[vernal hare]

If i get into smith and i hypothetically accidentally lied about my gender would that impact my apps anywhere else

[sharp belfry]

naurr just mount holyoke and bryn mawr

[vernal hare]

I swear i dont remember that box

[steep ivy]

from my app

[vernal hare]

I did coalition

[sharp belfry]

barnard's scary and i think smth about wellesley turned me off but idr what

[vernal hare]

I dont think they had it on there

[steep ivy]

oh

[honest token]

real

[sharp belfry]

i highly highly doub tthat

[upper glade]

js say you're gender fluid and you did identify as women at that moment

[honest token]

weelsley campus is so beautiful tho

and boston

[sharp belfry]

ooh i havent seen it

[vernal hare]

Wellesley students are also mit students

Its op

[honest token]

boston is gorgeous

[sharp belfry]

true...

[vernal hare]

You can just say you went to mit

[honest token]

i thought it was only for the engineering thing

[vernal hare]

I saw ppl on linkedin do that

[honest token]

ts might be worse than barnard and columbia

[steep ivy]

lake waban 😍

[upper glade]

u can js take classes I think

[sharp belfry]

boston is so goated i wish i applied to a boston school

[vernal hare]

Listed as mit students, you scroll down and also see wellesley…

Thats why i applied i think actually

Well part of it

[sharp belfry]

oh my god bro we mightve discovered the prime a2cer

[honest token]

HARVARD LET ME IN

[vernal hare]

What i would do is just sort coalition by acceptence rate and just apply everywhere

If they had a supp i could recycle or no supp

[sharp belfry]

omg good luckkk

[steep ivy]

boston 😍

i will live in boston one day 😍

[sharp belfry]

yes u will mama

[honest token]

nah lowkey my interview is mid

and i definitely dont fit their student type

[sharp belfry]

thats how im feeling with yale tbh

[vernal hare]

.

[sharp belfry]

but its fineee i have good offers

[sharp belfry]

i doubt it

[vernal hare]

Could i get rescinded from like cmu for thisb

[sharp belfry]

just explain what happened

im sure its happened before

[steep ivy]

naur dont worry

[sharp belfry]

and anway bro if they let you in then they didnt notice. so like just withdraw the app quietly

[foggy cape]

you’re genuinely making your cortisol spike by thinking of these worst case scenarios

[fickle tundra]

is there any thread of babson. i cant find any

[vernal hare]

Bruh what if i get into smith im stealing a spot from an actual woman😭

[steep ivy]

just turn down their offer brah

or withdraw rn

[sharp belfry]

this

[vernal hare]

I really want to see my decision

[sharp belfry]

honestly you really should withdraw

[vernal hare]

Waitlists shouldnt get hurt right

[sharp belfry]

like morally 😭

[vernal hare]

So nobody suffers

[steep ivy]

lowk if i get waitlisted or rejected ts gonna pmo 😭

[foggy cape]

yeah lol

[vernal hare]

The person whose spot id take wouldve just gotten off the waitlist

Right

[foggy cape]

something gotta be wrong with my app

[sharp belfry]

well people who get in off waitlist are getting spots from people who committed and then changed their mind

not people who were accepted and turned it down

thats what yield is for, thats why they overadmit

[honest token]

brother i didnt even an interview and im from LA

im fr cooked

[upper glade]

wish they didnt do this and js do ranked waitlist

[honest token]

get*

[upper glade]

like bro

😭

[sharp belfry]

ikr omg

[vernal hare]

I dont get how a school doesn’t use ranked waitlists

[upper glade]

whats the point of having a waitlist with like sub 5% AR

[vernal hare]

They jsut look ar every app all over again?)

[sharp belfry]

doesnt necessarily mean anything, just gotta wait till the day trust

[upper glade]

they look at what parts are missing

[vocal schooner]

They see which students didn’t enroll, and use the waitlist to fill those gaps

[sharp belfry]

admissions officers have the craziest jobs

[honest token]

they see who didnt take the offer and fill it with someone similar i think

[upper glade]

like maybe a lot of women in STEM didnt commit this time

so they take some from the waitlist who showed strong interest in attending

etc

[steep ivy]

wait i lowk wonder what archetype i am

[upper glade]

@vocal schooner does reapplying after waitlist boost my chances

[sharp belfry]

im interdisciplinary artist/stem girlie

[steep ivy]

stop me too

[upper glade]

im seriously considering NS -> reapplying atp

[sharp belfry]

i feel like thats an archetype

[glass hornet]

Wellesley is a women’s college

[upper glade]

if I dont get off anything

[glass hornet]

LMAO

[sharp belfry]

omg LOL were everywhere

[vocal schooner]

If there’s significant improvement in your candidacy

[sharp belfry]

whats ur art/stem combo im a painter and prospective chem major

[vocal schooner]

If not the decision will be the same

[upper glade]

ah

[vocal schooner]

You have to show that after your waitlist you continued to have an upward trend, not in grades atp but in activities

I wouldn’t know much unfortunately cuz this is my first cycle

[upper glade]

ah

[honest token]

i have no idea what archetype i fall under i feel like i rlly dont have a peak

[upper glade]

okok

[rapid creek]

theyd expect gap years to be productive

[steep ivy]

art/cs/math unemployment final boss

[upper glade]

I'm gonna be in service tho

[rapid creek]

like, travelling or volunteering or other valuable pursuits to write about

[upper glade]

like

[vocal schooner]

Like during NS I did most of my ECs last year

So it was a really productive year

[rapid creek]

yea service counts too

[vocal schooner]

But that’s also cuz I had no school ECs and national stuffs

[upper glade]

u can't rlly do anything else for korean national service

idk

[vocal schooner]

Hmmm

[sharp belfry]

one of my friends only applied to smith and bryn mawr and said if she got rejected from both she'd just do a train tour of europe wish i was rich lol

[upper glade]

gym maybe lol

you don't have PCs and stuff

[steep ivy]

ugh thats the dream

[upper glade]

phone is taken after 8pm

[vocal schooner]

Is there a gap between ure NS

[sharp belfry]

rightt

[vocal schooner]

And August

Or the application season sorry

[upper glade]

yea might do a internship or smth

coz I still gotta do physical tests n stuff

in between

[sharp belfry]

wait i just remembered i was gonna watch airplane

[vocal schooner]

It depends on how much you want it

[sharp belfry]

peace guys

were all #gettingin

[vocal schooner]

I told my parents if I don’t get in this cycle and the next I’ll take a gap year just to reapply for a third cycle

[upper glade]

I think vet status js gives you a massive boost too

[vocal schooner]

Cuz I was quite set on going to study in the US

[upper glade]

like I talked to columbia abt this before

[magic coral]

only ivies left

[upper glade]

even if you're a non-US vet

[vocal schooner]

The school?

Or a person on discord

[upper glade]

yes

school

[vocal schooner]

Oh LOL

I mean I’m a veteran I guess

[upper glade]

the nontrad background counts as DEI

yeah

[vocal schooner]

But so is every Singaporean

Make

Male

[steep ivy]

ok im 真的 (really) gonna go to sleep. and wake up. and be a wellesley girl

[vocal schooner]

So contextual evaluation within my region nullifies this advantage

And same as Korean males

[upper glade]

for KR most ppl apply first yr without NS

so

[vocal schooner]

Ahhhh

Ok then there’s a possibility

[upper glade]

idk

yeah

[vocal schooner]

You would have to show exceptional growth though

[upper glade]

hmm

[vocal schooner]

And you would need an outside recommender to vouch that you did so as well

That’s what I did

[upper glade]

yeah

[vocal schooner]

It can definitely be planned

[upper glade]

idt anyone can write a good rec in english

at korea

[vocal schooner]

Just how much are you willing to sacrifice 😢

[upper glade]

fmcl

[vocal schooner]

I had to sacrifice my weekends

[upper glade]

only chance is I make the US army branch

[vocal schooner]

For all my ECs

[vocal schooner]

I guess that works too HAHA

[upper glade]

theres no weekends for korea

lmfao

[vocal schooner]

Ah

Yall r 24/7 in?

[upper glade]

yeah

[vocal schooner]

Ours is 24/5 at least

[vocal schooner]

Damn

What they do to yall 😭

[upper glade]

except the US support branch

[vocal schooner]

I assume it’s a lottery to get there

[upper glade]

which is randomly selected if you have above a threshold TOEIC score

[vocal schooner]

As with all army postings

[upper glade]

yeah

[vocal schooner]

You never know

You can l try to aim for it at the very least

[upper glade]

US support/air force/marines/navy are random afaik u gotta enroll to the lottery

[upper glade]

yup

[glass hornet]

isnt that like super competitive

[upper glade]

yeah

[glass hornet]

my cousin was chosen

lol

[vocal schooner]

Anything with welfare in the army will always be in high demand

[upper glade]

US has way better treatments too lol

[upper glade]

good for him

ugh I wish

think it might be better to apply for transfer after 1st yr

to the waitlisted schools if it doesnt work out

makes it easier to continue ECs and allat

and recs from professors probably hold more weight than others

[glass hornet]

yea transfer is great

[upper glade]

do schools allow delay of enrollment by 2 years

for NS

if im transferring soph yr I'd rather have NS done quick

[vocal schooner]

For Singaporeans yes

[upper glade]

oh okay

US schools?

[vocal schooner]

So they apply in their graduation year

Then they defer two years

[upper glade]

ahh okok

u applied after a year to strengthen your app

right

[vocal schooner]

No

I applied after a year because my school blocked my application in the first year

They said I submitted too late

But it was a good thing in hindsight because I was woefully unprepared for the admissions process

Then I started researching from Jan 2025 all the way till my last app this year Jan

[upper glade]

ohh

[vocal schooner]

[glass hornet]

u tryna do ns before college??

[upper glade]

if I'm considering transferring yeah

if not I'll do it after my 1st year

[glass hornet]

iirc u are more likely to get easier jobs in military if u are college student or some

[upper glade]

just for the internship progression n stuff

[cedar spindle]

gungang why are u everywhere

[upper glade]

idec

[upper glade]

fr

I mean 2 servers bruh

😭

[dusk horizon]

Oh, just checked, I got accepted to Haverford lol

[upper glade]

CONGRATS!!!

amazing school

[dusk horizon]

Yeah, I think the demonstrated interest helped tbh

I killed my interview

And the alum couldn’t do it, so I did it with one of the admissions people

Plus I did a bunch of virtual events and stuff

And I think my essays were good

I was expecting an acceptance, so I feel rather satisfied :)

[upper glade]

ohhh

[dusk horizon]

Let me check the position of the person I interviewed with

One sec

[vocal schooner]

What other server is bro in

[upper glade]

brown applicants

[vocal schooner]

Oh

Damn

Is there an ND server 😹

[upper glade]

no clue lol

I think im gonna crash tf out

if I get WL from midd

I had a great interview lasting 90 mins

😭

[dusk horizon]

I interviewed with the Dean of Admissions lol

[upper glade]

oh wow
