It feels weird going to an LAC

#

Like the only reason people who what Davidson even is, is because of Steph Curry

#

Like I’ve had instances of people thinking I’m going to community college

#

people are dumb, life goes on

#

If you think about it, you probably won’t encounter those people ever again

steep ivy

There are so many opportunities to do that and research

Carleton is good at stem, st Olaf is good at music and other things

I would say they’re peers just cause of location and etc

They’re lowkey more chill than Carleton students

#

On average

theyre probably less elitist

Yea

#

Carleton lowkey is the least elitist top school imo

But there’s still some elitism that u can see

Unfortunately

But like northwestern def has a lot more elitism for comparison

Wait why are you at Davidson?

muted cloud
#

That's at Richmond

tough mantle
#

Oh

#

That makes a lot more sense

muted cloud
#

One of Davidson's sports is there today

#

Not sure who

There's a big ass spider over the scoreboard

And a sign that says richmond spiders

UR has a mascot?

#

That’s cool

Imma be honest

#

I don’t pay attention

#

Spiders is so unique

#

Although it looks like a spiderman ripoff since they're blue and red

weary cobalt
#

Toured bard and can’t say it’s my favorite which sucks bc it’s my cheapest option

vale obsidian
#

The admissions officer I ran into at CMC was so nice. He said "I'm sure I'll see you again" 🥹

muted cloud
#

Was there anything glaring?

weary cobalt
#

But I think I’ll be able to compare it better once I see Gettysburg because those are the two options I’m debating on

#

It’s not like there’s anything inherently wrong with the school, I just didn’t get a vibe of being excited to come or envisioning myself around

muted cloud
#

That's valid! I visited Lafayette and it was like really really solid and they had a lot I loved, even talked to students and had good convos but like

#

I didn't really "click" with anybody and little cultural things definitely make a huge difference

#

I visited URichmond the last two days and I had my little click moment lol

weary cobalt
#

Yeah, I’m supposed to be seeing Gettysburg on Monday so I’ll be able to deduct better from then

muted cloud
#

I think it's still worth keeping an open mind and trying to really socialize with the kids while you're there

weary cobalt
#

If I feel the same about Gettysburg I might be cooked 😭

muted cloud
#

I'm an introvert normally but I'm telling you it's SO worth jt

weary cobalt
#

And might just go to bard bc it’s cheaper

#

but I have a feeling I’m going to like Gettysburg more

muted cloud
#

Nobody knows each other, it's your chance lol. Your people are SOMEWHERE anywhere it's just a matter of finding them ifykwim

# tough mantle This is true

Dude all I did was text the group first and I assembled 3 people all around me at the start of experience Richmond

#

And immediately I have a bunch of friends

tough mantle
#

Idk I’ve not really connected with anyone going to my school

#

Except for this one dude

weary cobalt
#

And surprisingly the Gettysburg channel is usually active

muted cloud
#

That never happens lmaoo

#

I had to scout out for Instagram groups

#

Grinnell has an incredibly active Instagram group with almost 200 kids

#

Richmond lwk didn't have much activity but people were accessible on the discord at least

#

And I met a bunch of friends the past two days

Following hazing allegations and an interim suspension that began Feb. 26, Davidson’s Kappa Sigma Fraternity chapter has been suspended indefinitely as of March 22 while its national governing body further investigates.  When Kappa Sigma was first suspended, president Will Capps ’27, received an email from Director of Student Rights and Res...

is it too late to submit a LOCI? I am planning to write and send mine today. Would it still be considered, or is it unlikely to make any difference at this point?

Anyone know if there is a gc for Occidental college 2030

I need a roommate

#

#

Are you sure you pick your own roommate? Most LACs have a system

boreal fjord
#

you have the option to choose a roommate it's just not super common at oxy from what i gathered

karmic socket
#

when does roommate selection happen?

#

is it really worth paying 4 bucks to igotin ? does it really help get a roommate?

cunning sable
#

i mean yes those pages can help but don’t pay them money

#

there are free ones

#

if you’re talking about the instagram pages that is

#

i don’t remember the igotin one (currently davidson2030_) costing me money but maybe they changed it

#

if you’re talking about the app then definitely do not pay for that lmao

#

and housing stuff for davidson happens during the summer

#

like late may/june

#

there’s also nothing wrong with doing random. most people here do it and it generally works out well

I just saw this video of Brandon Tineo and I realized his counseling program is selective

#

Idk that counseling programs could even be selective

cunning sable
#

makes sense

#

i’m guessing that’s the case for a lot of admissions influencers

#

lots of followers and only so much of them to go around

That’s why prepscholar recommended that you check that their acceptance rates are like 8-15x more

Because otherwise it’s likely just a selection bias

this about his students admitted to certain colleges

#

he might take in a student with a 3.4

#

that student just might not get into Harvard

glass hornet
#

I thought it’s not where u could just sign up

obsidian lintel
#

i mean ultimately it's going to have to be selective in some way

#

idk how the selection process works

tough mantle

I like their fries

obsidian lintel
#

now we might choose to believe him or not, but according to him students are not necessarily selected based on how competitive they are

loud ocean
#

Why would you not believe their actual words?

obsidian lintel
#

idk

#

maybe you have a deep hatred of brandon tineo

#

i figure he's telling the truth, especially given that a lot of his focus is on helping students from disadvantaged backgrounds

#

I think he said that one of his goals is to maintain a strong balance in terms of kids he helps w/ paid help and kids he helps w/ free help

#

at the end of the day, there's only one of him, so he has to choose somehow

glass hornet
#

Idk if the ss is selection bias or not

obsidian lintel
#

i mean think about it

#

realistically, how many individal students can this guy give the (what seems to be) very attentive focus that he does?

#

You can't give a premium experience to an infinite # of students

#

and given that he might be one of the most popular admissions influencers

#

he almost certainly has lot sof potential clients

hearty summit
#

thats how he has crazy percentages like 90% of students into jhu or smth

#

they purposefully select students they know will get in and in turn, it makes their services look better

#

i trust tineo way more than roadmap tho

junior field
#

If an AI offers a very limited free tier + this I’m not sure I’d call it accessible

#

Like this is 2.5 months of ChatGPT

#

His consulting prices are probably subsidized bc he sells things like this that I know many consultants give out for free and unlike his consulting services there’s no limit on how many students can buy these

glass hornet
rancid flax
#

thats why they do “consultation” calls

glass hornet
rancid flax
#

its to make sure they are taking on someone who can actually get into these universities

#

elise pham is a good example

glass hornet
#

😭

hearty summit
# glass hornet So it’s selection bias?

its unavoidable. students who seek college counselors will alwys have better stats than those who dont since they tend to care more about academics. its like how the a2c average gpa and sat is higher than those outside of a2c

rancid flax
#

she brags about her success of students but thats because they do heavy like prescreening to make sure u have the capabilities to get into these schools. u have to do a call with her before even doing anything more

junior field
#

Like be so fr you can find these on Reddit

#

You do NOT need a template to email a college abt a mistake to begin with

rancid flax
#

my mom follows him and sent me stuff all the time 😭

#

he had my mother latched

junior field
#

My point is people make him out to be some sort of altruistic guy when in reality the reason his consulting prices are low is bc he’s grabbing people to pay for Google Sheets which most consultants find to be a low ball

glass hornet
#

I m just surprised abt this ss lol, I have never seen it before

IMG_8756.png
#

This gave me hope lmao

rancid flax
#

yet he doesnt tell u about the stuff these students also have lol

glass hornet

Lmao

glass hornet

#

Why are we also applying to college counselors 😭😭

hearty summit
glass hornet
hearty summit
#

he doesnt fear monger unlike another creators

glass hornet
hearty summit
#

and he doesnt rlly brag abt his student acceptance rates either so its not really misleading imo

#

it makes sense to be selective considering how many ppl wanna work with the guy

glass hornet
#

I know he endorse it a lot

hearty summit
#

ivyleagueroadmap however kept on posting vids bragginga bt his rates and tgalking about how he beat the haters

junior field
# glass hornet Wtf that’s a thing?

A good number of consultants do initial free calls even if they’re not popular bc it prevents a situation where a consultant and parents sign an expensive contract only for the parents to find out they don’t like how the consultant works and/or the consultant finds the parents to be very overbearing so the initial call lets them say no to each other without having signed a contract

#

The initial call usually doesn’t involve any real application help

#

It’s usually more like “what are you looking for” type stuff

glass hornet
#

I never know these calls are selective

junior field
#

Usually they’re not

rancid flax
junior field
#

More often the call just establishes expectations and boundaries before a contract is signed

#

I think Ivy roadmap does “interviews” which is not at all the same

hearty summit
#

roadmap looks down on test opt kids a lot, i remember a year ago he and tineo had a fued on social media bc of it

#

was saying some stuff abt how test opt acceptances arent as real

junior field
#

A good thing to remember is there are way more consultants out there than those on TikTok

#

There are plenty who just use word of mouth

#

So they have no need to be selective

#

They just need to make sure everybody is able to be happy when they work together

Guys, do you have any good LOCI examples? I looked online and found one by College Essay Guy, but it felt pretty generic. It didn’t really go into much detail about the college or show a connection, it was mostly just about what he did during that time and a few achievements in 2–3 short paragraphs.

If you have any examples, could you please them?

#

i am writing for grinnell and babson

#

i have general idea and draft but i wast just wondering if i should make them more specific

#

talk about a college professor or course to show how achievements connect with the college and i plan to do later on in college as well
