[hearty summit]

why does grinnell look like ucla

grinnell is better anyway so doesn't matter 🤷‍♀️

grinnell also looks like udub

[steep ivy]

ugh i need to lock in on my locis

does anyone know the best time to send them

[rich robin]

id probably think asap for most schools

[glass hornet]

Oh my lord

I need f&m ship me their acceptance package asap

I m not even joking

I need that blanket so bad

The south is too cold

[crude shadow]

What do you love about Grinnell so much
Just curious

[hearty summit]

because iowa is a superior state and is known for its ice cream and ice cream is my favorite food

grinnell is a hidden ivy that ive decided to pick over full tuition at harvard. ive already withdrawn from harvard and have HIGH HOPES for my grinnell waitlist!

[vivid summit]

lmk when you make it to Grinell so we can grab a scoop ( im gonna drive for ice cream )

[steep ivy]

im rooting for you bruh

good luck with that waitlist

[rich robin]

ong

we are ALL rooting for you

[karmic socket]

ill withdraw my grinnell admission soon so hope you get off waitlist 🤞

[hearty summit]

ill get you raspberry sorbet the most superior ice cream flavor to exist

[hearty summit]

oh my goodness you are the best

thank you for withdrawing from a t1 for me. that takes a lot of selflessness

[glass hornet]

Get me matcha

I also withdrew mine

[hearty summit]

holy performative

[glass hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/bird-cat-fly-ai-ai-gne-gif-7131706058580585843

[hearty summit]

do you want matcha drink or matcha flavored ice cream

icl both r really really good

you should try matcha peach latte its so underrated

[hearty summit]

thank you hero

[glass hornet]

Ykw, I want u

https://tenor.com/view/meowl-cat-owl-gif-16304756704527773823

[hearty summit]

woah woah woah

come visit me when i get my full ride in grinnell

we will feed williams + amherst alumni to the grinnellian squirrels

[glass hornet]

@hearty summit r u gonna go to Grinnell if they let u off that waitlist

I genuinely think UW is better

[hearty summit]

naw im probably not just due to grinnell price! unless full tuition that would prob sway me

im udub in state so im likely going there unless bu clutches

with tons of money and honors

[glass hornet]

Is it fr that ur schools grad school is rlly good

I heard undergrad is pretty hard at UW

[hearty summit]

uw med school is good but uw law school sucks

[glass hornet]

So they can be prepare for grad

[hearty summit]

im pre-law so i needd to go oos for law school

[hearty summit]

grade deflation sucks

you need 98% or over for a 4.0

[glass hornet]

I think is best to save money then

[hearty summit]

idk anyoen hwith a 4.0 that seems genuinely impossible

grinnell will cover full costs for me when i get off ofc

[glass hornet]

Bud wtf

[hearty summit]

uw is brutal

[glass hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/muerto-gif-16250174877271582365

[hearty summit]

i was originally concerned bc what if it makes my gpa look bad for law school?

but ill pull an elle woods and get a perfect lsat so i dont need to worry

what r you hoping to do after comms?

i want to go into medical law relating to med malpractice/negligence and bu is #2 for that which is why im also considering bu

[glass hornet]

I m planning to transfer into business

I can’t handle law school

[glass hornet]

Wait, Bu is actually pretty good then

U need a good gpa for med school

So UW might not be ideal for gpa

[hearty summit]

awesomee

[hearty summit]

im law school 😡 if law was easy, it'd be called m*d_c-ne

[glass hornet]

At uga I know a 93 is a 3.7 (A-) which I think it’s already bad

Idk

[hearty summit]

boooooo pre-med kids booooo booooo

[hearty summit]

yup thats what i was thinking too

[glass hornet]

I m use to the 90=4.0 system

[hearty summit]

so rn its prob uw vs bu

i also love how uc davis is close to the capital but they refused to give me finan aid

[glass hornet]

UCs for OOS isn’t worth it

[hearty summit]

youre right

[hearty summit]

DAY SEVEN OF BEGGING GRINNELL TO TAKE ME OFF THE WAITLIST

i am angry at every member of a2c for not designing a grinnell server icon/banner on lac day 😡 amherst and williams are so overrated anyway and nobody even applies there

[vivid summit]

WHAT how'd you know lemon raspberry was my favorite oce cream flavor

[vivid summit]

also agreed you have good takes

[vivid summit]

I dont like sorbet as much tho raspberry does well as gelato tho

[crude shadow]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-swing-gif-23878746

fr?

what is a hidden ivy tho

[lunar gate]

like a school thats as good as an ivy academically but not as well known, think of it as unintentional gatekeeping

[crude shadow]

seems like a cope term tbh

the ivy's are just an athletic conference

at the end of the day

[lunar gate]

if so let me sulk in my delusion(im going to somewhat of a "little ivy")

tbh i just think it's talking about colleges that are underrated

[crude shadow]

I feel like calling ur school a hidden or little ivy is disrespecting its identity and ability to stand on its own two metaphorical legs... or pillars... hmm

[lunar gate]

it-it's just a f-figure of speech...

its simply easier to refer to underrated schools by hidden or little ivy due to the fact that the ivies are widely known to be prestegious schools that are strong academically, since most people don't know what LACs are or understand the US news ranking is dumb. to clarify however i think the ivies are overrated asf and oftentimes so called little or hidden ivies are better is a lot of aspects, so in this lingual context it's just an oversimplification

[crude shadow]

u right :3

maybe im thinking about this too much

[karmic socket]

@cunning sable any idea on how is the grade inflation/deflation at davidson....i wanna do prelaw and will major in prolly math & physics/cs and may minor in econ and pol sci....

[cunning sable]

i do kinda think that the concept of a “little ivy” or a “hidden ivy” or a “public ivy” or a “southern ivy” or whatever overly privileges the ivy league

like why do they need to be the yardstick by which we judge every other institution in america

schools can just be good lol

[lunar gate]

No I agree it's literally only because ivy leagues are overrated

[cunning sable]

i understand the utility of it of course but i think it contributes to the phenomenon (especially among college applicants) of people getting way too hung up on ivies

[lunar gate]

Hence why I applied to zero IVies

No intention of turning into a statistic

[cunning sable]

are you saying you want to major/minor in all those things at once or that those are your options

sorry to state the obvious if you know this but the former is not possible

you can either have two majors OR one major/one minor

or just a single major obviously

[crude shadow]

math and physics for pre-law.... good luck my friend....

also why are there so many davidson students

[cunning sable]

pre-law doesn’t necessarily have to be anything. it’s not an academic track in the way that pre-med is

[crude shadow]

YEYEYEYE, i know, but its a hard major

top law schools have like medians of 3.95

[cunning sable]

the davidson renaissance is upon us

[crude shadow]

grrrrrr

[cunning sable]

it was just me lol and then all of a sudden everybody in 2030 was applying there

it was shocking to me as well

but i’m happy about it

[crude shadow]

W&L and Davidson are highkenuinely like gojo and sukuna of the southern LACs, blue and red too

cross admits are 50/50 too

[cunning sable]

anyways to answer the question i haven’t personally taken classes in any of those departments but i have friends who have and the classes can certainly be tough

grading is up to the individual professor but in my experience i have been able to get As in my classes by putting in appropriate effort

i wouldn’t be able to put it in terms of inflation/deflation because i can’t really generalize enough for that

but like definitely be prepared to work hard for good grades

that said professors here are generally very willing to help you, especially if you show initiative and drive. they want you to succeed

[tough mantle]

Congrats you have a Davidson A2C family now

[tough mantle]

So is appropriate effort turning in your assignments late and not doing the readings by any chance

[languid coral]

i totally agree lol i just talked about this with my aunt the other day. it is convenient for explaining to family members especially for LACs which have very little name recognition lmao but i guess in general i don’t like or get that we have to use “x ivy” as a reference for the school’s value when at its core ivy is just the athletic conference

i don’t like using it cause it implies a relationship where one doesn’t need to exist at all, and also people laugh and don’t take you seriously when you’re trying to explain how good your school because everyone is so quick to use it for literally any and every school 😿😿

[cunning sable]

prolly not

[tough mantle]

So I actually have to lock in

Dang it

[glass hornet]

i lwk just gave up on prestige

i need to do things i like

mighe just stay at uga for 4 years

https://tenor.com/view/muerto-gif-16250174877271582365

[tough mantle]

That’s a good thing

[glass hornet]

prob gonna finsih senior year with 4 Bs

[tough mantle]

You don’t have to lock in as hard as me

[tough mantle]

Oh come on

You can get those to A’s surely

It’s not like me

It’s hopeless for calculus

I’m a lost cause for math

[glass hornet]

i hate math

i feel like ive been selling my soul for these top schools lmao

[tough mantle]

That’s not a good thing

I sacrificed school work for college apps 😭

[glass hornet]

oh god

imagine doing college app again

i don't even want to watch any college app videos anymore

[tough mantle]

Imma be honest

[glass hornet]

i blocked brandon tineo

https://tenor.com/view/muerto-gif-16250174877271582365

[tough mantle]

I’d sacrifice my acceptance for my friend

And do the process again

[glass hornet]

i need to convince myself uga is a good school

https://tenor.com/view/muerto-gif-16250174877271582365

[tough mantle]

It’s a very good school

Id have seriously considered it if it wasn’t too expensive

But chose not to apply

[glass hornet]

i feel like prestige is good but i cant sacrifice my time anymore to this thing

[hearty summit]

im a pristege whore and am scared to post on my school destinations page cuz what if i get judged for where i go 😢😢

udub feels so underwhelming

[glass hornet]

same

i want emory so bad but i don't feel like doing this process again

legit nightmare

[tough mantle]

Don’t worry half my school is going to this mediocre ass school

Like you can’t get worse than this greedy school

[tough mantle]

This is not an exaggeration like literally 80% of last years class went there

I think that’s what the counselor said

[hearty summit]

davidson?

[tough mantle]

No

[hearty summit]

oh ic

[tough mantle]

My very local state school

[hearty summit]

gotcha

[tough mantle]

That I won’t be revealing so I won’t be doxxed

[hearty summit]

whats more prestigious between udub, bu, ucd, and ucsb 💔💔💔 and ig neu but holy overpriced

[tough mantle]

BU

[tough mantle]

But if 80% of my school was going to Davidson I’d stay as far away from there as I could

[glass hornet]

60% of my school kids goes to uga

hows that

https://tenor.com/view/muerto-gif-16250174877271582365

[tough mantle]

I’d cry

I fucking despise my school

[glass hornet]

and 10 percent goes to georgia tech

i fucking hate my school

[tough mantle]

My school is full of racist and just dumb idiots

[steep ivy]

my condolences

[main kite]

same

wait which state are you from again

[tough mantle]

Kentucky

[main kite]

oh!

https://tenor.com/view/tole-tole-mei-mei-cat-vro-sister-mei-gif-4707933269230801990

LMFAOOOO

but yeah i get it im from virginia EVERYBODY a racist here istfg 🤦‍♂️

[tough mantle]

Yeah I’m just ready to NEVER see these people again

[muted cloud]

Bro most of our kids just go to community college or the local university here

Not even the state flagship

We have a good chunk that go to UMD though

[tough mantle]

Yeah that’s mine

Tbf UKy is expensive af

[muted cloud]

Most of our kids if they go to college are raised into this mentality of "there's always Salisbury!!! or "there's always (cc I wont name)!!!"

And it genuinely PISSES me off because some of these kids are way smarter than that

[tough mantle]

SAME

Like why is 30 ACT friend going to this shit local school

(I utterly despise that school with all my heart)

[cunning sable]

it just objectively is

[obsidian lintel]

people are racist everywhere son

[upper glade]

go dawgs

[upper glade]

this.

[tough mantle]

There’s a higher chance of racism

Actually my school is just full of mean people

[obsidian lintel]

in VA?

depends on the area no?

you'll get different flavors of racism in NoVa and rural VA

just like how where i am in wisco we get a unique flavor compared to rural wisco

[main kite]

so…. the sky is blue

im saying yes because virginia is a southern predominantly white place … that’s where racism breeds.. as opposed to like california 😭

[glass hornet]

Same for Georgia

[minor tundra]

Everytime I go to va theres always confederate flags

[cunning sable]

georgia actually isn’t predominantly white as of a couple years ago

it’s like 52% minority or something

fun fact

[crude shadow]

Just say ur school is ranked #7 in the US on forbes lol

that is among ALL colleges btw

[tough mantle]

Bruh Kentucky is 85% white

Georgia is 48% 😭

[languid coral]

omg you’re right lmao

[crude shadow]

Yeah Williams is CRACKED

[dull oasis]

These dam liberal arts schools didn’t give me any money 🥲

I wanted to go to Wesleyan or W&M but they straight up were like yeah you can pay it all (that’s actually half my family’s income… 😝)

[tough mantle]

That’s college for you

[glass hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/tole-tole-mei-mei-cat-vro-sister-mei-gif-4707933269230801990

[tough mantle]

Alex emerges from their dark corners to post cat pics in the “lac thread”.

[glass hornet]

Gotta keep this thread a cat thread

[tough mantle]

[glass hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/meowl-owlcat-owl-cat-bye-goodbye-gif-17579581394175547877

[hearty summit]

Like genuinely

If I can get in

[hearty summit]

udub grad is hit or miss

med school is awesome but the law school is buns

doing oos for grad seems very fun so since youre oos youd like it more than i would

seattle has awesome public transport

i spent like 8hrs there yesterday w a friend to see udub + other places and busses come for you every 5mins

so no need for a car

[glass hornet]

I choose to trust u since ur local

https://tenor.com/view/tole-tole-mei-mei-cat-vro-sister-mei-gif-4707933269230801990

I have seen ppl glazing UW grad school crazy

[tough mantle]

I hate that school

[glass hornet]

Get the fuck out

Someone ban him

[tough mantle]

Nah

[hearty summit]

no specific number but over 60% get in

we're in a richer and more "cracked" location so maj of kids just go to udub bc of the 14k/year tuition

and washington is a hugee techy place

so every sweaty cs kid aims for udub

[tough mantle]

I don’t trust cs kids who go to top cs schools

[hearty summit]

didn't commit yet but i have the role now! il pay very soon just need to sort out the process first

i want to put uw instead of udub bc its cleaner but everyone wil think i am going to the sub 3 safety school uw madison 👎

[glass hornet]

😭😭😭

Who goes to UWM

No one literally

[hearty summit]

who goes to amherst and williams

no one literally

check out the beautiful grinnell campus

[vocal schooner]

Wow! 🤩

[glass hornet]

It’s literally out of nowhere

😭😭😭

Is this real

[hearty summit]

who do you think you are insulting our beautiful grinnell campus

this is the actual grinnell

i think that pic is just a smaller part of it

grinnell lowkey looks like ucla

[foggy cape]

I know like 50 people

[glass hornet]

Ok

I know 50k ppl that goes to UDub

[hearty summit]

yes and im the best one

theyve got a cuter mascot tho

[karmic socket]

this guys glaze for grinnell is unreal

[hearty summit]

honesty is not equal to glaze

[karmic socket]

imagine having squirrel as your mascot

jokes apart grinnell is amazing apart from its location

like tf is iowa bro

[hearty summit]

MODS

BAN THEM

this is davidson

now THIS is grinnell

[karmic socket]

wildcats cant be banned

[karmic socket]

wow wonderful

[hearty summit]

the uw dogs will eat the davidson wildcats

*dawgs

[glass hornet]

Guys is it possible to land a job in businesses if I go to an LAC (not finance

[karmic socket]

if you showed this to me i wouldnve thought its just any other state school

[hearty summit]

no unless it's grinnell

[hearty summit]

what this is the most beautiful campus to exist what're you talking about

grinnell campus mogs yale campus

[karmic socket]

it just looks plain and copy paste of other schools

[karmic socket]

yea fair enough but try davidson campus

[hearty summit]

davidson looks like a copy paste of mit and a mini white house

[karmic socket]

wonderful white house is my dream

[hearty summit]

boooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

rotten tomatos 🍅

[karmic socket]

hell yeah

[hearty summit]

davidson look like cc grinnell = ivy

[karmic socket]

check the respective LAC career outcome report ig

[karmic socket]

at least our mascot aint sm squirrels

[hearty summit]

we have more squirrels on campus than you have wildcats

[glass hornet]

The fact that we are the only 2 uni ppl in this thread

[hearty summit]

grinnell is unique

while davidson copied northwestern

[karmic socket]

each one of us is a wildcat

[hearty summit]

name another college that's the squirrels you cant

[karmic socket]

alr that prolly wasnt tuff

[hearty summit]

🌽🏀

[karmic socket]

😂

[hearty summit]

"together we are fnaf" ahh davidson kid

[glass hornet]

@tough mantle

[karmic socket]

this guy is making me hate grinnell increasingly more

as if being in the middle of nowhere wasnt enough

[glass hornet]

Idek there is a state call Iowa

Until I applied to Grinnell

[karmic socket]

jeez who even lives in iowa? cornfields?

[hearty summit]

you mean in the heart of the united states?

iowa > california

[karmic socket]

no i quite literally meant next to cornfields

[hearty summit]

iowa carries the american economy

corn is delicious

what's with the hate on corn

cornfields are scenatic and aesthetic

[karmic socket]

maize and wheat is all thats there in iowa....its complete plain land no mountains no hills no natural beauty and grinnell has a less developed outdoors program than davidson

[hearty summit]

grinnell is aMAIZEing

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaa

[karmic socket]

north carolina in my humble opinion is unparalleled in natural beauty and davidson's ouutdors club brutally framemogs that of grinnell

[hearty summit]

sub 3 davidson college coping

davidson = high cortisol

grinnell = low cortisol

iowa is known for ice cream and that's all we need

imagine corn flavored ice cream and delicious corn soup. what else could you ask for?

[glass hornet]

I got waitlisted by both Davidson and Grinnell

😭😭

[hearty summit]

if you had to get into one with a full ride

[glass hornet]

Can’t say much

[hearty summit]

where would you go

[karmic socket]

bro dodged 2 missles at once

[hearty summit]

there IS a correct answer

[glass hornet]

I only withdrew my Grinnell app

Not my Davidson

Yeah, I put it at the fifth spot when it should be before harvard

@hearty summit cough cough... I don't see grinnell here... cough cough......

[hearty summit]

somebody must have sabotaged wikipedia and purposefully put wrong information!

wikipedia is a very unreliable source tsk tsk

ofc the w&l student uses wikipedia unlike the well-educated, well-rounded grinnellian

guys is it too late to switch from rd waitlist to grinnell early decision zero?

[crude shadow]

grinnell website btw

HEHEHEHEH

[hearty summit]

i cant believe w&l hackers went so low as to hack our website! how disgraceful

I need senior year to be over already

[karmic socket]

seriously im having some serious senioritis rn

lowk allergic to books 😭

[tough mantle]

Dude this has been the worst year for me

Who tf said senior year was gonna be fire

They fucking lied 😭

[tough mantle]

I still haven’t read Frankenstein for AP Lit

And the test is tomorrow

[glass hornet]

Sparknote

[weary cobalt]

Frankenstein was such a fire book

[tough mantle]

Literally my least favorite book ever written

[weary cobalt]

Whattt

I loved reading it

I thought I’d dislike it bc most classics are dense and confusing

[tough mantle]

I hate Shelley’s writing style

I don’t trust anyone under the age of 24 to write a book tbf

[boreal fjord]

i enjoyed reading it for the most part but the bit where frankenstein explains where he's been for literal dozens of pages was kinda questionable as a writing choice

[tough mantle]

Honestly that’s what the book should’ve been about

[glass hornet]

YES

tell me why there are couple errors in the book

[glass hornet]

[muted cloud]

Technically Squirrels is unofficial

The teams are all pioneers

[glass hornet]

Grinnell is actually out of nowhere

do we realize that

https://tenor.com/view/tole-tole-mei-mei-cat-vro-sister-mei-gif-4707933269230801990

[tough mantle]

This is why I don’t wanna go to Grinnell

[muted cloud]

They actually have a crazy party culture apparently though

More hard liquor than fucking syracuse and penn state btw

I was talking to someone who had legacy there and they were telling me stories lmfao

[glass hornet]

oh god

[muted cloud]

They were saying their mom's dorm used to all make out together

Im so fucking fr

[glass hornet]

huh

[muted cloud]

the whole floor yo

[glass hornet]

wtf

wtf

[muted cloud]

LMAOOOO

[glass hornet]

this is giving uga

but in iowa

or asu

but in iowa

[karmic socket]

reading this gave me a stroke

thank god i turned down grinnell

[glass hornet]

just to make sure

"their moms dorm"

wdym by that

moms got dorms?

[muted cloud]

Richmond

[tough mantle]

Davidson is better

[muted cloud]

legacy student

[karmic socket]

ONG

[muted cloud]

Their parents went to grinnell

[glass hornet]

oh god

that sentence gave me a stroke

[karmic socket]

pretty much any top lac with a pre proffesional vibe

[glass hornet]

a heart attact

[muted cloud]

I just said ts because UR is known mostly for business lol

[glass hornet]

what LACs do u think that have pre pro vibe

[karmic socket]

CMC, davidson and richmond come to mind

[muted cloud]

yeah davidson is good too

[tough mantle]

Pro?

[karmic socket]

middlebury, bowdoin, williams, amherst are more academicky but they can get whatever you want career wise

pomona as well

[muted cloud]

i mean I'd say most T20 LACs are going to have good career opportunities so long as you take advantage of their career programs

[karmic socket]

theres not much preprof vibe here but their ib placement is nothing to scoff at

[tough mantle]

Guys imma be an English major and just cry

[muted cloud]

I'd also look at their professor's portfolios

that can tell you a lot about the focus of the programs blaghblahhblagh

[glass hornet]

well they are top ones so yeah

[tough mantle]

I was on the qna for Davidson and I’m so stressed out already

[glass hornet]

time to transfer

is ur suburban

[karmic socket]

w&l, hamilton, wesleyan arent "t10" but do well finance jobs wise

[karmic socket]

its suburban yet a shuttle away from charlotte i believe

[glass hornet]

i thought abt smith and wells

i know the network is strong

[karmic socket]

both are banger

wellsley being the better one

[muted cloud]

W&L has an exceptional alumni network

[karmic socket]

true

only reason i hesitated applying there was that i was afraid the racism situation there that i heard about online...after all it has a confederate legacy which still lives in its name

not sure if its bad tho

but cant take chances

[tough mantle]

You’re at Davidson now

We’re cooler

[karmic socket]

fr

in the south davidson mogs

[fallen umbra]

the Davidson alum network is rlly awesome

[karmic socket]

i mean what the fuck is duke?

[fallen umbra]

I met a ton of awesome alums when I was applying ED

[tough mantle]

I’ve met no one

[karmic socket]

wait how do you meet alums?

on linkedin?

[tough mantle]

I might have the worst case of social anxiety known to man

[muted cloud]

They have a pretty good attitude about it.

The whole "lee" thing is way overblown

[karmic socket]

dk reddit really scared me away from applying lmao

apparently rampant hazing

[muted cloud]

I mean it's certainly the "white and loaded" culture and it's not helped by VMI being right there

but

[karmic socket]

again unsure about the veracity of these claims

[muted cloud]

They're actually pretty moderate politically and that attracted me to them since I can't stand political silos

[karmic socket]

sorry biut whats VMI

[muted cloud]

Virginia Military Institute

[karmic socket]

well thats interesting

reddit opinions seem skewed then

[upper glade]

hi

amherst

plz amherst

[muted cloud]

Reddit is always

a little

self report bias is a real thing

thats all I'ma say

With the stigma though lwk I'm kinda glad I got rejected W&L because I'd probably rather go UR anyway

Seems like their reputation is better lol

[karmic socket]

UR is better

[upper glade]

depends on whachu want but yeah UR seems better for like the non frat bro archetypes

[karmic socket]

UR has a more beautiful campus

[upper glade]

im lowk scared of colgate being a super social school lmao

like I'll probably find my group there but still

[karmic socket]

isnt that a good thing lmao

[upper glade]

im scared of lax bros

idk lol

[muted cloud]

I mean UR has a lot of greek life though

i don't intend on participating though

[karmic socket]

LAC greek life isnt real greek life

[upper glade]

I think colgate is like 40% considering frosh rush ban

which isnt that bad

[karmic socket]

theyre not all bad

[upper glade]

isnt dartmouth like 60%

[upper glade]

yea ofc im referring to the stereotype lol

there's been mixed comments about being a POC on campus too so

idk

[muted cloud]

Never heard of this in my life

[karmic socket]

ong had to search it up

[upper glade]

idk I saw a thread on CC or smth

about how some dude was exaggerating that lax bros dominate the social scene when they are 37/3000 students

[karmic socket]

any reddit/cc thread on any waspy lac is basicaly mixed about poc

[upper glade]

yeah lmao

[muted cloud]

You'll find your clique anywhere

[upper glade]

basically all but WASP

[upper glade]

Amherst has the most diverse composition right

[muted cloud]

[muted cloud]

uuhhh

i forgor

[glass hornet]

chat

when u apply to lacs

[karmic socket]

many have spring trasnfer

[upper glade]

shit aid tho

[karmic socket]

yeah sadly

[glass hornet]

do yall think when a school says they are need blind

are they actially need blinf

[karmic socket]

transfer is always need aware

[glass hornet]

oh god

[upper glade]

many are not NB for transfer

[karmic socket]

especially for trad students

[upper glade]

except like W and A afaik

and most of the seats are for nontrad

for W and A

[glass hornet]

i might be fucked

my lac dream is gone now

[muted cloud]

Why didn't bro just commit to a lac

Didn't you get into some

Or am I tripping

[karmic socket]

for all you know LAC may turn out to be like high school 2.0 if that makes you feel better

plus u dont have to feel awkward saying ur college name if u dont go to an LAC

[glass hornet]

Why

[karmic socket]

ppl know UGA

ppl dk williams

or amherst

[tough mantle]

People thought I was going to a cc

[karmic socket]

wouldnt have expected any better

[glass hornet]

My ultimate goal is to land a job and be happy

I like small communities

I feel like lac is like my best choice

[muted cloud]

LACs rely on alumni relations and career experience

[glass hornet]

But I heard lacs r full of rich full pay kids

[karmic socket]

yes not denying that but say ur meeting ur hs friends and they ask where ur heading to for college

[muted cloud]

That's how us brokies get good aid

Need blind schools are generally better about it since they don't admit based off of finances

but still

[glass hornet]

I think I need to learn how to handle social pressures

[fringe topaz]

my brother went to lac and regretted it bc they didnt have much job opportunities if that make you feel better

[loud ocean]

something like that, but the greek system is very different than anywhere else i've vistited

[fringe topaz]

that doesnt make me feel better 😥

[muted cloud]

Idc about that yo, these places are crazy accomplishments for me 🙏

[tough mantle]

I’m cooked

[karmic socket]

yeah if ur choosing lac u dont care about that

but some do and thats a major turn off for that about lac

[fringe topaz]

and he went to colby if that make you and ian better 💀

[muted cloud]

URichmond is genuinely a dream situation fit wise

Grinnell is good too but idfk yo they're mad far and I already got a great option

[karmic socket]

oh colby

[muted cloud]

I'm only still considering Grinnell because of ranking and curiosity

[karmic socket]

yeah with all due respect colby sucks....its hours from any known site of human civilization

[fringe topaz]

true

[muted cloud]

I literally only applied to Colby for aid

[fringe topaz]

absolutely no one here knows what state is maine

[muted cloud]

I know nothing else about them

[glass hornet]

I feel like going to any private schools will be full of rich kids

[loud helm]

who gaf what ppl think abt ur college

[karmic socket]

nope everyone finds their clique

[loud helm]

that aren’t employers 😭

[fringe topaz]

i dont mind if they're rich i just hope they arent assholes

[karmic socket]

many do....i persauded my junior to ED CMC over emory cuz by any metric cmc mogs emory in empoyment outcomes

[glass hornet]

True

I hope they don’t look down on me

[karmic socket]

but ppl choose lay prestige over career

[glass hornet]

I want to have friends but sometimes it might be weird if ur the outlier

[tough mantle]

Ok Maine is Maine

[loud helm]

no im saying who cares abt what ur classmates think abt ur college they aren’t ur future employers

😭

[karmic socket]

true

[tough mantle]

Don’t worry I feel like I won’t belong anywhere rn lol

[glass hornet]

LACs?

[loud helm]

i met a kid who didn’t know what the state of maine was

Come hunt me down

[fringe topaz]

[muted cloud]

43k students is way too many bro

GENUINELY twice the size of my town growing up

in a fucking school

like fuh that bro

[glass hornet]

Uga?

IT IS

This is the part I hate abt uga

But that means I can find my more group

Since there are 43k kids

https://tenor.com/view/muerto-gif-16250174877271582365

Another fear at lac is that I m not gonna find my ppl

The fact that I m the only uga kid in this server is kinda doxing myself out

[fringe topaz]

you'll be fine they're not that small

my brother still find his group just fine

[glass hornet]

That’s good

Ima just transfer to 3 lac UR Dvs and another one that is nice to transfer

I m gonna give uga a chance

[muted cloud]

Bro nobody gonna track you down out of 43k kids

[tough mantle]

You should

[glass hornet]

Uga’s Asian sorority doesn’t even feel like a sorority

It’s basically Asian club

[fringe topaz]

i regret not applying uga

cause i heard its a lot cheaper than usf after all the scholarships

💔

[glass hornet]

Id even think u need to rush for it

[glass hornet]

Coming

If they give me good aid

[tough mantle]

What

I’m going insane

[fickle tundra]

whats the last date to appl to reed

[cunning sable]

i feel like it would benefit you to have a more positive outlook on your school

[karmic socket]

yeah plus greek life at uga can give you a LAC social atmosphere in some way if i make sense

[cunning sable]

literally all you talk about is how much you don’t want to go there

not saying you can’t feel your feelings

but spending the next 6 months mad that you’re not going somewhere else is not gonna help you have a good experience

uga is a great school

[karmic socket]

that being said if you really want to go to an lac, theres no harm in applying for spring and fall transfer at a bunch of t20 LACs

you may get

good fin aid

[cunning sable]

for sure

if you have other goals that’s fine but give yourself a chance to enjoy yourself

even if you end up leaving in the end

[fickle tundra]

when is last date to apply to reed

[upper glade]

is it more like how residential houses work at ND

I heard that there were efforts to make it inclusive too

[karmic socket]

dartmouth has coed greek orgs i heard?

from what ive heard dartmouth has either frats that haze a lot or very chill inclusive frats

like a whole spectrum

[loud ocean]

I don't know about those, but it is far more open both to potential members and non members than anywhere else I've been

[upper glade]

ahhh

[loud ocean]

Some of those too

[obsidian lintel]

i think you'll be surprised on how you feel after some time at UGA

maybe you'll still want to transfer, of course

[loud ocean]

If you go in with your mind poisoned, of course you'll be unhappy. Go in with an open mind and see how it goes

[upper glade]

does submitting an LOCI early really matter in getting off the waitlist

or is it more about being the missing puzzle in the class after may 1

I had some colleges ask for it ASAP and some ask for it mid-april which made me confused

[loud ocean]

Do what each asks

There was a Carleton 2027 server before

I think the Carleton admissions team runs discord servers per year

okay thanks

[chrome mural]

What do y want to study at Carleton

[tired wadi]

no idea 😅 i’m interested in math, psych, and music tho

do you go there?

[chrome mural]

I went there before

[chrome mural]

Carleton is pretty good in the regard you can explore

[tired wadi]

assuming you really liked it?

[chrome mural]

Yeah it was great

[glass hornet]

Imma die if I do Greek life

[tough mantle]

I thought you said you wanted to

[glass hornet]

Yeah but I think the type of Greek life hes talking abt is more like the real Greek life

Like the ones with hazing and shits

Southern Greek life is crazy

But I still want to make friends so I m just join clubs, I might just stay at uga if I like it

[tough mantle]

She?

[glass hornet]

wrong pronouns

sry

[tough mantle]

Imagine

[idle bobcat]

havent decided yet...... washu v bowdoin v middlebury... i wanna visit before committing

[cunning sable]

those things are useless

[tough mantle]

I assumed lol

[cunning sable]

zeemee is another one that’s kinda fake

it doesn’t cost money but it’s also dead

[loud ocean]

What are your priorities? Obviously Bowdoin and Midd are much more similar than WashU

[vocal schooner]

From what my senior said who's at Dartmouth joining a frat is a personal choice

Some do, some don't. For internationals its definitely a different atmosphere. At first he didn't want to join a frat but was invited to rush by his Orientation Leader buddy who was the head of rushing for his frat.

[tough mantle]

Yeah the only way to interact with people is to DM them on insta

[crude shadow]

too shy to dm

:p

[tough mantle]

Yeah I hate introducing myself

I like to ask people their opinions on turtles to meet people generally

[crude shadow]

I have no opinions on turtles

https://tenor.com/view/i-like-turtles-zombie-kid-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-tortoise-tortuga-gif-16340543

[karmic socket]

if its ib then midd should be a clear choice

[idle bobcat]

WashU is just as good for ib

And their aid package is a bit better

[tough mantle]

Then I’d prioritize the visit to WashU

[idle bobcat]

Im planning to visit washu midd and Bowdoin

[loud ocean]

Great, that is the most important thing

[tough mantle]

I still haven’t visited Davidson lol

I plan to next month tho

[idle bobcat]

I mean I’m an rd kid

[karmic socket]

yea but since you asked in a lac thread i assumed you preffered an lac

[rocky pelican]

THESE R SUCH GOOD CHOICES wish u the best

[idle bobcat]

Yesss ik!!!

[idle bobcat]

Yeah I do like the lacs!

[muted cloud]

I think he had also got into UMich and a few other top schools if my memory serves me right

He said his parents didn't want him at a LAC though and I suspect there's frustration there

Not trying to psychoanalyze anyone ofc

But ykwim

[cunning sable]

yes i understand

i’m not saying he can’t be frustrated or whatever just that posting about how much uga sucks every day is not really conducive to a healthy mindset

[muted cloud]

I think @glass hornet might be spending too much time in the LAC thread lol

I might actually try to fall I love this school lol

Transfer is too much work

[tough mantle]

You should definitely try

I think you can find yourself there just as easily as anywhere

[cunning sable]

i want to go to athens sometime

i’ve heard it’s a cool city

[glass hornet]

Where do I withdraw from colgate?

I dont see the button anywhere

Someone help

Oh nvm NOW it appeared after I saw rhe same page 10 times

[loud ocean]

You don't need to

[glass hornet]

Why not

[loud ocean]

There's no need?

What if your top choice blew up tomorrow or Andrew Tate became the president of it

[glass hornet]

I'll take the chance

[loud ocean]

Leave yourself options rather than closing doors for no reason

[glass hornet]

Fair

So nothing bad will happen if I dont respond?

[loud ocean]

No?

[glass hornet]

And at May 1st, it will just automatically decline for me?

[glass hornet]

^^

[loud ocean]

Right

[glass hornet]

Alright thanks

[loud ocean]

Come may 2, if you don't say yes, it's a no

[glass hornet]

👍

[glass hornet]

It’s pretty but it’s rural

The fact that it takes 1 hour to drive to Korean town

https://tenor.com/view/muerto-gif-16250174877271582365

But the good thing is there are a lot grocery stores near uga

So we can cook in the dorm

[tough dune]

Wait does this not affect waitlists in any way? Do they only start sorting that out after May 2nd?

[empty knoll]

thank you btw

for being considerate of colgate waitlists 😭 🙏

[glass hornet]

Ofc 😭 I hope you get off the waitlist

[empty knoll]

thank you my brochacho

[empty knoll]

COLGATE FIX UR EMAILS 😭

[loud ocean]

Largely, yes

You do not need to withdraw

There is no reason to close options

itd be like 5k in loans and it would get cheaper after first year too most probably

and its only that much in loans bc parents dont wanna spend more lol

they definitely are capable of

[chrome mural]

Oh that’s good. Is it better than BU for aid?

[floral coral]

just dont wanna spend any retirement money on me, but they have a lot in retirement

[floral coral]

mhm!

well BU hasnt come back yet...

[chrome mural]

Yeah that’s fair

True id wait for BU first
