few club leaderships and one unique EC relating to my niche area of study

#

Steve job graduated from Reed?

#

dang

upper glade
#

Yurr

upper glade
#

Took classes

lilac coyote
#

nah steve dropped out after like a semester

#

but yeah he did take classes and crashed in his friends dorm

glass hornet
#

Reed is kinda tuff

#

ngl

#

But idt I can handle it academically

fickle tundra
#

It going to be very hard now

glass hornet
#

The fact that extended their ED2 is kinda suspicious

#

Not enough app prob

#

šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€

lilac coyote
#

why tho

fallen umbra
#

extending ed2 prob means they donā€™t have a high enough yield prediction from RD combined with ED1

lilac coyote
#

I also only applied and got accepted because they extended rd

#

do they do this normally?

loud helm
lilac coyote
#

i'll probably just go to a state school that's good for my field

upper glade
#

Youā€™re looking forward to academia right

lilac coyote
#

yeah

upper glade
#

Not much better schools than reed for that

glass hornet
#

My state school costs me 13k, Reed costs me 9k

#

How is this even possible

lilac coyote
#

daaamn

glass hornet
#

I really might ED to Reed

fallen umbra
#

typically

glass hornet
#

But knowing the fact I might fail every single classes there

fallen umbra
#

ok Iā€™m obviously not in college yet but like

#

i wouldnā€™t let fear of academically doing poorly scare you out of applying because

#

admissions officers job is to make sure you are a strong fit academically and culture wise with the school

lilac coyote
#

honestly even barring performance

#

you will suffer at reed

#

and that's probably a good thing

#

glass hornet
cunning sable

iā€™m too shy to ask admissions lmao

rich robin
#

if you havent waived ur right under ferpa i heard theyre Like.. legally supposed to give u access to it

#

ALlegedly. i heard from my college advisor

vocal schooner
#

My friend saw his Dartmouthā€™s admissions file

fickle tundra
#

Ook so reed every year extends their deadline

#

And they are notorious for Waitlisting most people

#

Who apply later on

#

They take majority in early round

tough mantle

reed graduation rate scares me

minor tundra
steep ivy
#

Or 30

#

like i know swarthmore will show you yours but it has no notes on it and no info as to why you got admitted

Rip

vocal schooner
#

But he said it was quite boring because a lot of stuff was redacted

#

The only thing that stood out to him was that the AO really focused on his academics throughout HS

glass hornet
#

So Richmond is actually pretty nice to transfers

#

Maybe I should just transfer

Accepted

tough mantle
#

But apparently thereā€™s more to come

#

According to Chloe

crisp coyote
#

if u dont waive ferpa they dont consider ur recs

#

at least according to BG

glass hornet
#

So we canā€™t read our rec even after we get in?

cunning sable
#

no

glass hornet
tough mantle
#

Rip

cunning sable
#

as i understand it

glass crypt
#

Yeah my counselor said people who donā€™t waive FERPA are in a whole different pile, and their application has ā€œFERPA NOT WAIVEDā€ in big red letters

#

So not too good of a look

tough mantle
#

So itā€™s a free boost in your application hypothetically speaking

steep ivy
#

you just canā€™t demand to see it

cunning sable
tough mantle
#

I mean I assume those who donā€™t waive FERPA rights get rejected

#

So theyā€™re applications donā€™t matter as much

#

So the acceptance rate is higher

#

(Iā€™m pulling stuff out of my mouth idk what the fuck Iā€™m talking about)

cunning sable
#

surely not 100% of the time anyways

rapid creek
#

im sure people have been admitted without waiving their right

#

there are hundreds of thousands of college apps

#

its probably happened

#

it just isnt advantageous

cunning sable
#

and iā€™m sure the number of people who do that and are rejected because of it is so low that it all comes out in the wash

rapid creek
#

like, its not outright illegal to refuse to waive it

cunning sable
#

itā€™s the opposite of illegal

#

itā€™s a right for a reason

tough mantle
cunning sable
#

itā€™s like saying people who forget to check the portal and miss a required form are an application boost lol

#

like maybe but i donā€™t think itā€™s making much of a difference

tough mantle
#

I mean if you do everything right hypothetically there is a boost

minor tundra
minor tundra

This is a serious thing

cunning sable

#

why would anybody not waive ferpa is my question

tough mantle
#

Because they wanna see their letters of rec

Teachers might let people see their letter of recs if they ask

tough mantle
empty crow
#

I sort of saw mine but it was very blurry and on my counselorā€™s computer šŸ˜­ it was literally just a few sentences

#

The other two recs were fine

fallen umbra
#

i've read the intro of mine bc my counselor used my lor for a scholarship app but like

#

idk i just

#

i don't feel the need to read all 3 of mine

tough mantle
#

My Spanish teacher wrote 2 pages for me

fallen umbra
#

like i asked my ppl bc i have trust that they know me as a student and think highly of me

#

i don't feel like i need to read my letters to trust that they have good things to say

loud helm
tough mantle
#

I feel like my author lor had to be good too

#

The only one Iā€™m unsure of is my theatre directorā€™s lor

Iā€™d say it is

#

You get an idea of the college

muted cloud
#

You also get to network, and generally they'll do mock classes and stuff too

#

Look at the program detailing to see if its worthwhile

#

It's also good to be in the area to get a feel of the town and stuff

then again i'd still be going for like 3k a year because im poor as shit and they fucked up by being need blind

vernal hare
#

they didnt even send me a finaid letter

hasty silo
vernal hare
#

merit is so poopoo for me bc it just brings down my coa to my efc and all these schools then proceed to give me no additional finaid bc of that

#

which I feel like goes against the point of it but ig bro

muted cloud
#

lol

#

it only means shit if you're rich

#

I got like 25k a year in merit to Grinnell and 26k a year to Lafayette and they're still giving me marginally less aid than richmond

vernal hare
#

goofy

#

it should be ideally applied after efc is met through finaid

muted cloud
#

"we wont pay you to go here" blah blah blah

#

some schools will even decrease your amount for EXTERNAL scholarships

#

which is HELLA goofy

vernal hare
#

I do hope richmond liked my essay the most about my app

#

cuz its lowkey just my princeton essay but princeton got changed to richmond

muted cloud
#

i did the injustice prompt

vernal hare
#

uhh there were multiple prompts..?

#

was it not some goofy 650 word essay

muted cloud
#

idfk remember I just remember what it was about

#

LOL

#

i swear there were a few options

#

maybe im trippin

#

but yeah it was 650

#

#

luckily I shine in long essays

vernal hare
#

oh yeah

i did the community one

#

I think mine was 500 words tho

#

cuz thats what princeton was

muted cloud

vernal hare
#

muted cloud

I just gave up arguing with them atp. I told them Iā€™ll use their money to party everyday at my state school and switch my major to business aka coloring in the lines

slender void
#

my mom is happy for me but she doesnt rlly know what pomona is šŸ˜­

glass hornet
slender void
#

What can i compare it to for her

glass hornet
#

Compare it with ivies

slender void
#

Ok realistically

astral knot
#

just explain why it's a good school

slender void
#

So she can like gauge

rapid creek
#

i mean, in terms of the undergrad experience yea id say its compareable to some ivies or T20s

glossy lagoon
#

Comparisons are great for convincing people

#

Pomona is called a lil ivy

astral knot
#

just say it's more selective than a lot of t20s

glossy lagoon
#

Which means its harvard but smaller

#

And theyre smaller because they focus on teaching not researching

#

Which is better than harvard

rapid creek
#

yea, able to form more meaningful connections with faculty

slender void
#

So pomona is basically the best school in thr nation

#

Ok got it

glossy lagoon
#

=> pomona is better than harvard

astral knot
#

exactly

glossy lagoon
#

Thats how i describe LACs to parent

astral knot
#

whenever someone asks me i just say

#

yeah it's a small school in california

#

šŸ¤£

rapid creek
#

id say those schools curriculums and maybe culture line up best

fickle tundra
#

Vandy and vassar

#

Pls accept me

rapid creek
#

well Brown is fully open curriculum

fickle tundra
#

Only 2 hope

rapid creek
#

but still i feel like those Ivies give the most LAC vibes

slender void
#

I heard its decent for engineering

astral knot
#

it's in claremont which is close to pomona

#

if you go to an LAC you just have to accept the anonymity

slender void
#

Huh is thwt like a community college

#

Thwt is NOT a dumb decision!! Saves you money
