#

all the usual

#

"ohh nobody even knows what this school is"

#

"Are there even internship opportunities???"

#

"How will you be challenged if your class sizes are so small?"

#

bro bro

glass hornet
#

I just figure out how the game works

#

But it’s still hell

tough mantle
#

But it was a good boost while it lasted

glass hornet
#

I will sell my soul for Pomona

tough mantle
#

I do not want you being a Cali girl

obsidian lintel
glass hornet
tough mantle
#

That’s so much worse

glass hornet
#

How abt a North Carolina girl

obsidian lintel
#

lowkey the one bad thing about pomona is that

glass hornet
#

Chapel hill is pretty

#

And charlotte

obsidian lintel
#

in the chance that i want to go into grad school for a field where taking grad programs is a big signal

#

it's not really a possibility

glass hornet
#

I m ashamed I used to think NC is a state out of nowhere

tough mantle
glass hornet
weary cobalt
#

It’s literally Pomona and cmc are like thee most known out of all of them

tough mantle
#

My mother didn’t like the idea of being going to Davidson

weary cobalt

weary cobalt
#

Usually that’s something you sacrifice with big names

weary cobalt
#

And is well equipped to prepare you for success they have a bunch of resources itself as an institution but also among the other 5C’s

obsidian lintel
#

the good thing is

glass hornet
obsidian lintel
#

my principal went to CMC

#

and he glazes the claremonts like craaaazy

tough mantle
obsidian lintel
#

and my counselor is very enthusiastic about LACs in general

#

so I think talking to them should be good

weary cobalt
#

Yeah

obsidian lintel
#

plus we got to talk to an econ professor alumnus from my HS who teaches at union college

weary cobalt
#

And if he went to cmc he’d probably know people from Pomona that he could grab experiences from to hep you

obsidian lintel
#

so i might see if i can talk to him and ask

#

how phd placement is from his cohort

#

and tbh if pomona's placements are different meaningfully, it'll probably be in that they're better

obsidian lintel
glass hornet
#

I find it crazy there are sorority counselors

#

Where they teach you how to rush

#

So u pay ppl to coach u into a sorority, and then u pay the sorority to get into the sorority

ive heard its a semi target to BofA

crude shadow
karmic socket
#

and wells fargo

karmic socket
crude shadow
#

it just depends on ur definition, per capita placement, or pipeline

karmic socket
#

well which matters mroe

crude shadow
karmic socket
#

well it could also mean davidson students are just finance tryhards

crude shadow
#

bofa

karmic socket
#

a college could have a solid peipleine and network but low per capita placement if students are not so geared for finance

karmic socket
crude shadow
#

W&L has 71

karmic socket

safe to say its a target to Bofa then?

karmic socket

6 figures in MCOL city

crude shadow
#

W&L has 48 at GS

Davidson has 19

karmic socket
#

hmm

crude shadow
#

but you can chalk the diff to self selection

karmic socket
#

thats why w&l is seen as more of a finance target

crude shadow
#

january 15

fickle tundra
#

no they extended their deadline

cunning sable
#

according to who

karmic socket
#

no way they extended it beyond feb let alone march

cunning sable

not according to their website or their social media or common app

cunning sable

They extended

For ED3

cunning sable

@fickle tundra

#

Oh it’s actually ED2

fickle tundra
#

thanks a lot

glass hornet
#

I remember talking abt it

#

It’s crazy

cunning sable
fickle tundra
#

and they waitlisted majority of people in extended deadline

#

reed is notorious for waitlisting

karmic socket
#

reeds also notorious for hard academics and low graduation rates iirc

#

like crazy grade deflation from what ive heard

fickle tundra

ggraduating in 4 year is hard

#

Guys do u rly think that vassar is held in as high of a regard as similarly ranked schools
Like I feel like theres no way its as prestigious or exclusive as Barnard, Davidson, Smith, grinnell, wesleyan, middlebury

weary cobalt
#

I think it is mainly because of their history

#

People still say they’re considered a little ivy but idk how well that holds up now when you take into account other schools that people treat as ivies, but it could also be the “little ivy” of liberal arts school

#

Is Wesleyan still holding up its prestige though?

vocal schooner
#

When I got the freeman scholarship many of the alumni mentioned how there might be fewer Wesleyan alumni but they punch above their weight and will respond if you reach out

weary cobalt
weary cobalt
#

She makes it seem like its seen better days 😭

vocal schooner
weary cobalt
#

Probably

#

From what I’ve heard from my mom and my friend who goes there they make it seem like its kinda whatever compared to their rankings

vocal schooner
#

From speaking to alumni and the freeman program director, Wesleyan aims to enroll a diverse class every year, and does well on this. This means that there’s an even proportion of students going into IB, law, acting, PhD, etc across the 800 students every year.

It doesn’t attract much attention especially for terms like IB, finance pipeline, which generate more attention

#

And they haven’t done much to try and promote themselves as compared to Bowdoin which has climbed the rankings recently

weary cobalt
#

I think a lot of Lacs are just gaining more popularity, they used to be kind of a niche untapped market but recently more people have been going after them

#

Especially since a large amount of them say they try to meet demonstrated need which intrigues people

vocal schooner
#

The intl AR for Bowdoin is 76/6300 for example

weary cobalt
#

But i never cared much about Wesleyan so their rank dont matter to me much anyways 😭

vocal schooner
#

That’s a potential 6300 students discussing about Bowdoin as school

#

So it’s bound to generate more discussion

weary cobalt
#

My school tries to push lacs/schools similar to them a lot

vocal schooner
#

But that’s just my two cents

#

Domestically it probably hasn’t changed much

weary cobalt
#

Yeah

vocal schooner
weary cobalt
#

I dont think most people apply to lac if youre trying to focus mainly on stem

#

Which is why i had some friends who were annoyed with the constant push because they just weren’t interested in how most lacs run their curriculum

tough mantle
vocal schooner
fickle tundra
vocal schooner
#

Beats me

fickle tundra
vocal schooner
#

They probably are using it to boost their AR

#

But at least they’re need blind initially

#

It’s a pretty sweet strategy

fickle tundra
weary cobalt
#

Thats the only lac she applied to bc theyre good at stem 😭

fickle tundra
#

Also Carelton is good

weary cobalt
#

I think its also some lacs making you do a bunch of side quests before you can declare a major

fickle tundra
#

For stem

weary cobalt
#

Which annoys me personally but i can suck it up

vocal schooner
#

They will only see the headlines

fickle tundra
#

Mf discriminating us

vocal schooner
#

Discriminating?

#

I mean it’s just that Bowdoin doesn’t want so many international students

#

@glass hornet you switched to UF?

anyone going to wesleyan admitted students on april 13?

glass hornet
#

Chat what are fly in programs

IMG_8015.png
#

I saw this on Reddit

#

Is it like a indicator for admission

loud ocean
#

No, they are outreach programs that college run to bring (usually) FGLI students to campus and help them prep to apply to college

glass hornet
loud ocean
#

Yes

vivid summit
#

introduce students to campus and their programs usually for fgli like said above

cunning sable
#

for example i think the acceptance rate for students who go to windows on williams is like 90%

#

but that doesn’t mean that the fly-in got them in. it’s moreso that they’re admitting students to the program that are already strong contenders based on their profile so far

#

though i went to the davidson fly-in and they straight up told us that if we applied ED1 we could “count on an offer of acceptance” so sometimes it can be explicit lol

tough mantle
#

But I had Wizard of Oz that weekend

cunning sable
#

yeah i couldn’t go to some other fly in because i had tech

#

i got into 4 but davidson was the only one i could go to

tough mantle
#

Dang 4?

cunning sable

yeah williams bryn mawr davidson and swarthmore

i didn’t want to go out west

#

of the people I went to do my fly in with a couple of them ended up matching to washu for QB so maybe it was a partial sign

tough mantle

one of them was qb

tough mantle
glass hornet
#

Idek there are fly in programs 💀💀

cunning sable
#

actually there was one person from a2c who went

#

but they didn’t come here

vivid summit
#

fly ins were such a hidden gem tho im really glad i was able to attend at least one

cunning sable
#

yeah shoutout to my counselor for putting me on

fringe spear
#

a2c put me on fly ins god bless

tough mantle
#

My counselor hadn’t even heard of many of the colleges I applied to

cunning sable
#

if i had gone to any other fly in but davidson there’s definitely a universe where i could’ve gone somewhere else

#

swat and davidson were almost equal on my list. davidson was a little higher going into access

fringe spear
cunning sable
#

but if i had gone to discoswat instead maybe i would’ve chosen there instead

#

i probably wouldn’t have gone to williams unless i really fell in love with it

tough mantle
#

If I was still with my ex, I’d have been Berea 30’ 😭

fringe spear
#

i had explore bowdoin first and it completely won me over but then swarthmore beat them

cunning sable
#

i liked the school but i don’t think i could’ve gotten down with the location

#

too middle of nowhere

fringe spear
#

williams rejected me for WOW

tough mantle
#

I could not do William’s

fringe spear
#

i only applied to 3 fly ins and somehow got into 2

tough mantle
#

And honestly most LAC’s

fringe spear
#

my explore bowdoin application was so shit i have ZERO clue how they let me in

tough mantle
#

Davidson was one of 3 I actually liked

cunning sable
#

bryn mawr would have been intriguing i kinda wish i had been able to visit just to see

fringe spear
#

like i submitted my transcript a week late one of my supps was 50 words and the other was just ripped from my discoswat app

cunning sable
#

i was kinda on the fence about the concept of a women’s college

#

but i probably could’ve gotten down with it

fringe spear
#

if i hadnt transitioned idk if i’d be interested in a women’s college

cunning sable
#

the campus is really cool also

#

honestly high school me probably would’ve been more attracted to it than current me

#

most of the men at my high school sucked so i would’ve been more inclined to be away from them lol

#

but some of my closet friends in college are guys

#

#notallmen #breakingbarriers

fringe spear
#

my high school is 70% female

cunning sable
#

art school?

fringe spear
#

i’m used to being one of the only if not the only guy in a class

#

yea

cunning sable
#

many such cases lol

tough mantle
#

Most of the people at my school suck

cunning sable
#

my friend went to art school and it was same for her

#

it was like 75% female and almost all of the 25% were gay

fringe spear
#

literally this school

tough mantle
#

It’s so funny to me that 80% of last years class committed to this one school

fringe spear
#

this place is so queer

#

i love it

tough mantle
#

Man I wish I went to an art high school

#

This place sucks

fringe spear
#

the hours suck here tho

#

8:30 AM to 4:45 PM used to be 5 PM but they changed that after my sophomore year

tough mantle
#

wtf

#

Bro my school is 8:05-2:55

fringe spear
#

we have our academic classes from 8:30 to 1:55 and then our art classes from 2:40 to 4:45

tough mantle
#

Wait you still have academic classes?

fringe spear
#

of course lol

tough mantle
#

You mean I still have to take Biology

#

And calculus?

fringe spear
#

Yes

#

Well

cunning sable
#

yeah it’s still school lol

tough mantle
#

What kind of scam is this

fringe spear
#

Calculus is not required

tough mantle

But I am taking it

tough mantle
cunning sable

Remove the existence of biology

cunning sable
#

where the hell do they do that at lol

fringe spear
#

i wouldnt be going to any college if all i did was draw all day 💀

tough mantle
#

Yes

cunning sable
#

at my friend’s school they had like 4 academic and 2 art classes or something

fringe spear
#

for us it depends on what field ur in

tough mantle
#

If I have to take another science I will cry

fringe spear
#

everybody has 3 academic classes per day on a block schedule so 6 classes in total

tough mantle
#

Unless it’s like

#

Ecology based

cunning sable
#

or have you

fringe spear
#

and then you have 2-4 art classes depending on what kind of art

tough mantle
fringe spear
#

with the classes rotating based on the day

#

in visual arts which is what i’m in we all have 2 art classes per semester

cunning sable
#

4 is kinda crazy

#

what major is that

fringe spear
#

wdym

#

oh

cunning sable

bio 116(?) is ecology as well

I hate science and math so much it’s not even funny

cunning sable
#

either 115 or 116

#

i forget which

fringe spear
#

i find value in all disciplines

#

but hard sciences harddddd

tough mantle
#

But then I realized

#

I’d have to learn a lot of math to be able to do that

math used to be a major problem for me

#

arithmetic still is

#

i have dyscalculia but it’s very managed atp

#

so it doesnt affect me much

#

anymore

#

i was in remedial math in freshman year

#

like elementary school level math

#

i locked in to get to calc ab in senior year

If I could go back in time

and i’ve always been severely anxious since i was a young child

#

i wouldnt be surprised if i have cptsd too 💀

tough mantle

#

nearly everybody i was “friends” with from first grade onwards liked to gang up on me and rile me up bc it was funny to see my reactions

#

and i was gullible and didnt know when to shut up

tough mantle
#

Yeah they did that to me sometimes

fringe spear
#

it was the worst in first grade

#

then they got more covert about it so i didnt realize i was being bullied every day

#

oh to be a socially handicapped child

tough mantle

#

they did not catch me for so long

#

im still on waitlist for assessment but there’s basically no chance i’m not so i feel pretty confident in saying i am

#

my dad wanted me assessed for a long time

#

my adhd wasnt diagnosed until last summer

#

my first diagnosis was selective mutism

#

when i was 11 which is a really late diagnosis for SM

Hey guys
I got accepted to reed for 'CS and maths 'as an international student
Ik the unviersity is research heavy and also prepares u for research but I cant really see any data on job aspects...
Ik that people who go there , go for Phd's later..
but I wanted to know if thats the only path??
I am not sure right now , if i wanna do a phd or not

#

there might be no CS job openings by the time you graduate

#

look up linkedin

#

Reed has the worst ROI out of most schools tho (due to their grad school focus I'd assume), which is a factor to consider

gray citrus
upper glade
#

if you believe so yeah

#

what are your other options

upper glade
#

is reed cheaper than them

I think reed is the worst school for full pay lowk

unless you wanna go academia and is alr crazy stacked

I think rose hulman is great

#

I think your advisor will be able to help you whether or not you decide to go the PhD route

karmic socket
#

terrible grade deflation and high dropout rates

#

choose any out of umass amherst, rose hulman, wpi or ucsd.....tbf ucsd has the strongest "tech" prestige if im not wrong

#

its after all the third best UC

#

but all 4 of those are strong tech schools with great engg job outcomes

#

choose the cheapest out of the 4 and keep reed college a mile away

empty knoll
#

umass amherst cs is great from what ive heard

karmic socket
#

yea but arguably rose hulman/wpi would be better cuz of small class sizes and lac-esque environemnt and ucsd prolly cuz san diego is a tech hub (correct me if im wrong)

upper glade
#

if around the same price, i'd take the better education unless brand name sells way better (which may be the case for UCSD here)

#

but UCSD isnt berkeley or georgia tech imo
