Waitlist WINNING

[weak gorge]

iirc

out of all the top colleges stanford waitlist is probably one of the more realistic ones

[pure hare]

I like it. Makes smaller communities and classes from a big school

Kinda like a reverse of how the five 5cs make a big communities of small schools

[glacial glen]

ya i thought it was usually like 5-6%

but again waitlists in general r so rng 😭

[lusty crescent]

has anyone gotten off the caltech waitlist since the monday/tuesday wave

i fear it may be closing 😭

[spiral badge]

i keep seeing people at my college decommit and go somewhere else, someone just got off umich waitlist for lsa

[clear lynx]

Hear me out LSA good but lowk not that much diff than uw Madison icl

Esp for pre med

[spiral badge]

that's lowkey what i've been thinking

for me it was uiuc purdue or uw madison for biology/microbiology but then i got waitlisted from lsa for microbiology

[timber geyser]

Lowk

[spiral badge]

so then it became uw madison vs umich and lowkey i feel like paying 20k more for a college that has an equally or even less strong microbiology course compared to uw madison isn't worth it

yes umich has a bigger brand but uw madison has a lot of opportunities too plus my parents save $20k+ dollars a year by sending me to madison

so yeah even if i got off the waitlist i wouldn't go it just doesn't make much sense

[spiral badge]

pre med at umich is better bc michigan medical is right there for pre meds to gain exposure early

[timber geyser]

• for premed better to go ei5y the cheaper option

[spiral badge]

im not doing premed tho im going towards research so it was never a factor

both are r1 doctoral universities with high research output so picking the cheaper option is just more economical

[glossy granite]

honestly uw madison is actually really good

i wish i applied

i wouldve gone to madison if it were same price as udub

you guys got the cutest mascot to exist

but i would personally never go to umich or any other state school and pay the oos price

[spiral badge]

rare dicette w

😯

[spiral badge]

isn't udub also 60k ish

[spiral badge]

bucky 🦡🦡🦡

[spiral badge]

yeah 80k for a public university is crazy

which is why i didn't apply to any uc schools

[glossy granite]

nahh cuz im in state udub oos madison

but if they were both in state price then madison is stronger for my major

i love the madison building that has the badger painted on it

[glossy granite]

thank you for making uc applis less competitive

[spiral badge]

oh 💔💔💔

[spiral badge]

you're welcome

💯

[formal badger]

Has the Dartmouth WL moved at all

[lilac vine]

I wish i was rich enough so the 10k diff didn’t matter

[clear lynx]

Primate center at UW Madison, the lake, bioenergy research?

[clear lynx]

Nahhh Purdue hands down

[spiral badge]

i mean idk im not a premed but i had mentioned michigan med in my essay bc microbiology majors can get lab exposure at the hospital

but a couple people ik are doing premed and didn't apply to uw but did apply to umich so i think based off of what they've said that umich is a better school for premed

[lilac vine]

What abt uiuc vs Purdue but uiuc is like 15k more expensive

Not comp e tho

[clear lynx]

Are you sure about which engineering you wanna do

[split flume]

out of curiosity has anyone gotten off the columbia or brown waitlist

i took myself off those waitlists and lowkey am semi-regretting it 💀

[weak gorge]

WAITER WAITER

my steak too juicy

[split flume]

😭 i'm just curious 🙏🙏

nvm i reread the letters nothing will happen until may 15

[lilac vine]

Idk, I feel like I’m fine with most engienering

[knotty sentinel]

a lot of ppl on those wls are kinda ivyless 😭

[winged sluice]

is this ragebait

[rain jetty]

Son

[pure hare]

Lmao I can confirm

[glacial glen]

x3

[split flume]

which is why i took myself off🙏 but i did love brown a lot😭
anyways what’s done is done manifesting yall get off

[knotty sentinel]

last year yale came out tomorrow 🙏

[split flume]

ayy i hope u get off

ik like 5 ppl who rejected them

[knotty sentinel]

for harvard?

bc that doesn’t help me either 😭 😭

[split flume]

yes💀💀💀💀

and mit

and duke which i found funny but whatever

[knotty sentinel]

oh mit is okay send them all to mit

[split flume]

fr

[knotty sentinel]

and duke

[split flume]

huck farvard tho

yale better

🤩

[knotty sentinel]

huck whoever doesn’t call me 💔

[split flume]

real

[knotty sentinel]

my side in harvard yale is up for grabs 🙏 🙏

how many to mit and duke

[split flume]

yale better lock in

[split flume]

at bulldog days i met at least 3 people who alr committed to mit💀

i recently unfollowed a few who picked stanford too😃

1 duke

and way too many harvards

i don’t get it cause yale is sm nicer😔

it’s ok tho

[knotty sentinel]

the good news is that the yale waitlist is very small

[weak gorge]

i took SOOO much pleasure in unfollowing everyone from georgetown early action weekend who committed yale and cal

and harvard

[knotty sentinel]

the bad news is that the number of ppl they take off is also very small

[split flume]

you will be one trust

[knotty sentinel]

there is at least one person who chose my current school over yale

[split flume]

ik at least one yale wl who will almost 100% not go there if she gets off

[split flume]

wait yeah someone did this

understandable for stem

[weak gorge]

if ur on the stanford wl i wont go

[split flume]

feather are u on any wl

[weak gorge]

only stanford

harvard and columbia werent gracious enough to wl me

[knotty sentinel]

i am a cs major and i would turn down cmu for yale 🥀

[weak gorge]

only stupid stanford

[split flume]

what’s wrong w stanford😭

[weak gorge]

i dont like it

[split flume]

they rejected me😁

[knotty sentinel]

me too

[split flume]

also understandable🤩🤩

my friend decommitted to princeton applied math for yale

[weak gorge]

ok thats crazy

is princeton apma not like the best

[split flume]

no it’s the best

[dawn badge]

i was about to say

[weak gorge]

but personally princeton would be hell on earth so

[split flume]

yeah

[weak gorge]

i understand it

[split flume]

that sums it up

she chose princeton bc the program was better and over the next few days realized it was the wrong choice

[dawn badge]

exactly hwat i was about to type lmao

[split flume]

i am glad i did not choose princeton

[leaden gazelle]

wait i'm also wl at stan and also don't like it a lot lol

[split flume]

was js reading an article about the number of suicides they’ve had

[weak gorge]

if i was wl at harvard i would literally have fought tooth and nail to get into that stupid university

[split flume]

not fun

[dawn badge]

unfortunately everyone ik that goes to princeton is, to put it blunt, quite insufferable

[split flume]

eh georgetown better than harvard lowk

[weak gorge]

lowkey no

[split flume]

harvard people are goofy

[weak gorge]

i was walking around harvard this morning and it still makes me sad

[split flume]

they’re snobbish😭

[split flume]

this is true

princeton is posh

[weak gorge]

yeah but i have so many friends in boston that i lowkey wouldnt gaf

[weak gorge]

yup

[split flume]

my current student advisor and my interviewer both ghosted me for like a week a

yale interviewer and advisor did not🔥

[split flume]

fair fair

georgetown is acc so cool tho

stunning campus

[weak gorge]

now im going to have to run around like crazy during winter break seeing everyone

[split flume]

same

[weak gorge]

except for all of the construction 💀

[split flume]

Nearly everyone ik who got into good schools ended up settling w duke

[weak gorge]

but yeah i probably would have only chosen harvard or columbia over GU

[knotty sentinel]

any tips

[split flume]

which is tragic to me like guys don’t stay in silly north carolina

[dawn badge]

bro the ppl i know at harvard r either the smartest or dumbest people alive

[split flume]

columbia has those l administrative issues though

[weak gorge]

uhhhhhhh well my dad kinda halfway works for the med school and apparently everyone there puts in calls to get their kids in and i didnt want to do that because ew nepo but if i was WL i was going to ask him to + my guidance counselor could call them

[dawn badge]

like on my life theres no in between for some reason

[weak gorge]

so i fear not super applicable to you :(

[weak gorge]

yeah but new york

concrete jungle wet dream tomato 🗣️

[split flume]

nah that’s facts

That’s why i was so torn about them

that’s why i was in here asking 😭😭

[knotty sentinel]

theoretically i have nepo but not a family connection

[weak gorge]

kid got into yale princeton and columbia save some for us

[split flume]

are u talking abt me🥹

[weak gorge]

yes

[split flume]

i got Columbia wl

[weak gorge]

if you care that much you could try

[weak gorge]

oh right

man

[split flume]

but yea sorry😭😭

[weak gorge]

someone told me that columbia cares a lot about GPA and i have a very good GPA so i was kinda surprised

[split flume]

wait me too

[weak gorge]

that they didnt at least wl me

[split flume]

princeton cares most

their lowest gpa admitted this yr was like 3.96 or something crazy

[knotty sentinel]

princeton did not fw me 😔

and i had a 4.0

[weak gorge]

princeton would have been the literal perfect fit for me if it wasn't in the worst location possible with the worst people possible

[split flume]

real

[weak gorge]

i would have submitted such a good graded paper lol

[split flume]

yeah the new jersey highway sucks

actually a nightmare

[knotty sentinel]

oh i forgot it was in jersey ew

[split flume]

ur not missing out dw

i did not like it

[weak gorge]

lowkey the worst ivy location

[split flume]

not worth the superior academics or whatever at least for me

[split flume]

idk man Cornell isnt so hot either

[weak gorge]

at least its pretty

[split flume]

princeton is pretty

[knotty sentinel]

best ivy location is harvard

[weak gorge]

yes

[knotty sentinel]

good balance of city and not city

[split flume]

oh yeah hands down

too bad their campus is so ugly

[weak gorge]

harvard
columbia
brown
dartmouth
yale
penn
cornell
princeton

imo

[weak gorge]

What

its only ugly in the summer imho

Harvard in the summer is lowkey so nasty and I'm sorry for anyone that has to experience it

[pure hare]

Hanover is so underrated. I loved it when I visited. It's so isolated but at the same time that makes Dartmouth basically the center of the ecosystem with the whole town around it. Hope female government majors from California all went somewhere else!

[knotty sentinel]

why not

https://tenor.com/view/rolling-a-twelve-twelve-dice-roll-gif-26906738

(the number he rolled on the dice is close to the number of ppl who got off last yr)

how is it

[glacial glen]

lmao when is pin exchange

[knotty sentinel]

more as in it’s already started moving or

[split flume]

[knotty sentinel]

they read the locis?

[glacial glen]

[knotty sentinel]

ppl who got off last yr said the loci was not considered that much

[glacial glen]

last yr at the college fair i couldnt get any info from them

[split flume]

they read what u send im p sure

but yale notoriously dislikes additional info

[glacial glen]

W which school?

the caltech ones r always nice

[knotty sentinel]

mine was thankfully entirely not redundant

larping as a junior is crazy

[glacial glen]

LMAOO thats funny 😭

[knotty sentinel]

[glacial glen]

last yr cmu was there

i think

[knotty sentinel]

[glacial glen]

[knotty sentinel]

where r u committed

[glacial glen]

ut austin

WHAT

[knotty sentinel]

lowk the ao cannot rlly tell u how to get in

it depends entirely on the pool

[glacial glen]

[glacial glen]

[knotty sentinel]

i want swag too 😢

[glacial glen]

[knotty sentinel]

allegedly the recruiters dump a lot of swag on cmu cs kids 🤔

[glacial glen]

[split flume]

Oops I mean by the standards of the general public😭 every ivy can be a good location depending on what ur looking for

“The University of California, Berkeley had almost 6,500 students on its wait list last year. It ended up admitting none of them.”

X · May 11, 2026, 10:31 AM

Its over

@velvet merlin did u hear anything from Babson?

[lilac vine]

Prob means berk over admitted rather than just hitting that sweat spot

[lean knoll]

Oh na

[velvet mesa]

Day 8 manifesting princeton

[twilit marsh]

i think the strat is to not think about it or manifest

reverse psychology yk

take it from me i wasnt thinking about cmu at all cuz i thought there was 0 chance id get off the waitlist

[velvet merlin]

No one’s getting off the waitlist rn you’ll only get off if someone uncommits from Babson

[sturdy violet]

this is true

dont do what i did kiddos

[sturdy violet]

lets go guys

[stray mango]

my dad (who’s incredibly out of touch with admissions) emailed princeton asking them to “expedite” their review of my application cuz i’m waitlisted 😭 he has no idea how waitlists work and he never even asked me before sending ts 🥀 is there anything i can do to reduce the negative effects of this or do AOs just ignore these requests

this looks rlly bad for me cuz he actually thought it’d be a good idea to include the names of colleges i got into to show im “qualified”

is it just over? did my chance of getting off the waitlist become 0%

[cosmic sonnet]

i mean i dont think the committee will factor it in since its probably not going on your files but you can always email on your own and let them know that your parents did it without consulting you and just explain the situation

they'll understand

[stray mango]

ok thanks

[velvet mesa]

Wtf

[stray mango]

i sent a follow-up email reiterating that i respect their waitlist review process and fully DO NOT expect an expedited decision

hopefully they spare me

[stray mango]

my moms reaction btw 🥀

icl going all the way across the country to california sounds mad appealing rn

[clear lynx]

?

[sturdy violet]

wtf

its ok cmu is good

kennywood > great adventure

i tend to think of random ways a certain college is better than another college

in this case great adventure is falling off

kingda ka replacement looks so buns

[stray mango]

OK I THINK IM GOOD

PRINCETON RESPONDED

🙏

[velvet mesa]

2 more ppl got off the pton wl yesterday!

[twilit marsh]

IM SO DEAD THE LAST MESSAGE

[stray mango]

most supportive asian parents

[twilit marsh]

include in ur file 😭

[stray mango]

they def chatted amongst themselves in the office

i bet

whose crazy parent is this

the email was SOOOO bad:
he said something along the lines of "he's received offers from top schools like Carnegie Mellon University and UC Berkeley" 💀

[flat solar]

Couldn’t you father email them and say it was a mistake?

[flat solar]

If this is a personal question or anything I’m sorry to ask you are freely to not answer ofc

[stray mango]

his ego would not allow that

he’s very stubborn in his ways

[flat solar]

Ohh I’m sorry to hear that

Thankfully everything went well

[leaden gazelle]

how do u know?

is it the tracker thing?

[weak gorge]

this year hella ppl got off

already

[velvet mesa]

Yes

[pure hare]

I wouldn't trust the tracker personally

It doesn't verify if a person actually got off

[lilac vine]

I mean ye but would be the only source for now until the admission office decide to report the stats

[split flume]

YEPP two of my friends did!!

[flat solar]

Why is the time to send the deposit for confirming my place in the uni so short 😭

For unis that accepted on WL

[dawn badge]

Nooo all the threads gone

[abstract cloak]

Chances are low

https://yieldprotected.com/resources/college-waitlist-acceptance-rates

[hearty grotto]

Shiettttt dude yk if its oxford or atl or both

[steep river]

a girl i know did

[viral shuttle]

which one

[velvet mesa]

You have to forget abt waitlists to really get off

[stray mango]

best advice

[inland sun]

my acquaintance at andover claims that he got a call from a Columbia AO saying that he would get off officially sometime between the 13-15th but take it w a grain of salt lol

[queen patrol]

Ooo i see

[lilac vine]

So far I only see oos

[lusty shuttle]

when will they come out?

[rigid topaz]

Wtf Lac channel is gone??

😭

@glossy granite I have paid the deposit money but i have talked to more than 7-8 students doing Grinnell Cs and all of them hate it

So i am not sure

I am still waiting for the Indian options

[bleak tangle]

yea all the school channels are gone

[spiral badge]

good one twin

[copper saddle]

I have returned

[copper saddle]

😭 bro there was literally 1 person last year who got off UIUC wl

wow someone here actually got off it damn

[stoic dagger]

this yr so many people did?

but all oos

none international that ik of

[copper saddle]

oh nice

[twilit sky]

im surprised i actually waitlist won

twice

[stable bough]

oh damn thats late

[rain saddle]

cornell che neva happening huh

[silk scroll]

@sturdy violet I just did my first round of this years waitlist calls

[knotty sentinel]

any news from ivies

[bleak tangle]

Oh lets go

[glossy granite]

time to prepare for transfer applications

grinnell transfer shouldddd be easier cuz you have good reasons and can easily explain location opportunity restraints and maybe restraints to your specific program aaand small lac drawbacks

[glossy granite]

honestly i think being test opt screwed you over for applications

its going to make your experiences a lot worse as any intl seeking aid

idk id just stay in india atp

[rigid topaz]

For transfer??

[glossy granite]

grinnell isnt worth you going into debt for

[glossy granite]

ig its better for transfer 😭

but they will still ask for it on transfer applications

[rigid topaz]

Oh

[rigid topaz]

Even if i somehow afford grinnell but the Cs reviews are so horrible

[glossy granite]

and dang theyre both going to columbia

[rigid topaz]

I wouldn't join

[rigid topaz]

Yeah

[glossy granite]

then stay in india

[rigid topaz]

3+2

A lot of them hate grinnell

[glossy granite]

or idk rutgers or waterloo

waterloo is the strongest of your options

[rigid topaz]

I. Wish I talked to alumni before applying

[glossy granite]

oh shoot irs too late tho

[rigid topaz]

They literally mention grinnell as top 10 lac

[glossy granite]

just stay in india then

[rigid topaz]

But will need loan of 130k

[modest kite]

pls duffield let me in :((

[glossy granite]

at least their cs grad rates have high median income ig 😭😭

[rigid topaz]

On us news that's why I applied

[rigid topaz]

Yeah avg is like 130k

It's the top 10 cs program

[rigid topaz]

Pls don't trust us ranking gang

Do ur own research regarding the dept u applying to

[glossy granite]

grinnell technically isnt even a t13

us rankings just has multiple ties

i hate how they tie colleges and universities

udub, rutgers, and bu all tied at 42 and davis, nyu, irvne, gtech tied at 32 😭😭 then tufts and bc at 36

i dont rlly count their rankings in as seriously when youre going to say 5 college somehow have the exact same ranking….just choose

thats the reason why some colleges r so low and others so high

[silk scroll]

Check my Reddit comments I called UPenn and brown

[knotty sentinel]

those were my rejections 💔

[clear lynx]

Wait that’s not bad

Higher than my school 😭

[lone drift]

plz darty

my goat

[spiral badge]

UM hello uw madison & uiuc tied at #36 too.. pls don't leave out my ivy league college from your biased rankings cuz ur a badger #hater 🤬🤬🤬🫩

https://tenor.com/view/simpalert-simp-alert-gif-11799749075423343365

[spiral badge]

me @ uw madison (i love u future college)

[weak gorge]

did you call stanford

[glossy granite]

than gtech cs????? thats rlly surprising

[glossy granite]

dang it i was hoping you wouldnt notice

well without ties i headcanon that udub is actually t1 and madison is t400

[solid quarry]

Pleaseee Amherst

[clear lynx]

I mean probably better placement at GT and better research but idk

GT also has a ton of cs grads o

[formal cosmos]

hey my friend was on the wl and was a bit curious abt calling admissions

does anyone know what they should say or talk about

[rigid topaz]

I am talking about Waterloo.
Look into their coops

[rigid topaz]

😭🥀

I wish vassar had accepted me

I loved them so much

[rigid topaz]

U can't compare Rutgers with udub or bu

[sturdy violet]

Holy goat

Just called Amherst. No one has been taken off yet but the waitlist is not closed. They haven’t set any dates where you can expect to hear back but they’ll send emails

[solid quarry]

THANK UUUUU

[brittle crystal]

are they actively reviewing??

[silk scroll]

It’s still pretty early so unfortunately most schools aren’t giving me specific or helpful information

[silk scroll]

I think they’ve just started

[brittle crystal]

they js implied that there will be

ppl taken off right

ohh okay

[solid quarry]

YAYY

PLEASEEE

[solid quarry]

Like did they imply that?

[solid quarry]

Why emails thoo

[pure hare]

They lying a little bit. A friend of mine got off before may 1st. They didn't end up going tho

[silk scroll]

Most schools are just starting

Most schools I called said so

[silk scroll]

a lot of them do it really early so it doesnt count as being part of the waitlist and instead counts as bein gpart of regular yield

[solid quarry]

Really?, the deadline for wl is april 30

[pure hare]

Ohhh interesting

[brittle crystal]

ohh

whats the point tho

[bitter mist]

Pitzer maybe? 🌚🌚

[solid quarry]

Wdym

[feral badge]

Did nyu say anything??

[bitter mist]

Asking if she could call Pitzer

[silk scroll]

a lot of schools get annoyed if a waitlisted applicant calls and sometimes theyll count it against you

but i dont rlly have anything to lose

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/1tca03d/i_called_15_schools_abt_their_waitlist_pt_1/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button first post is up

[brittle crystal]

tysm for that

I js dont see the point in taking ppl off pre may 1

tho I heard abt some schools doin that

[silk scroll]

my roommate had that happen to her last year for risd

[silk scroll]

so they can count it as regular yield

schools are dickriders for yield rate idk why

[solid quarry]

But amherst is a top lac

WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT

[brittle crystal]

its probably the parts of the class where they see weak yield in where a waitlisted applicant shows high intent to commit right

[silk scroll]

wdym

[silk scroll]

a lot of schools do unfortunately

[brittle crystal]

like LACs have a hard time recruiting engineering students

[silk scroll]

yeah all schools do that

for their waitlist they look at gaps in their current class and try to fill them

[brittle crystal]

so even if they admitted say 5 pre-eng students expecting 3 to commit

they js take the pre-eng student with a strong loci before may 1 bc its unlikely that 3 ppl commit out of the initial 5

[rigid obsidian]

Did Stanford say verbatim their yield was rly high lol

[silk scroll]

yes

[solid quarry]

Isnt that waitlist is for?

[solid quarry]

Did amherst mention anything abt their yield rate being unsually high this year?

[silk scroll]

amherst just started the process i think so they barely had any info

i can call them back in a few days to a weekish

[brittle crystal]

u bagged that frosh internship damn

[solid quarry]

Thanksss btwww

[brittle crystal]

any tips on getting that

[silk scroll]

im poli sci so it depends on what field u wanna go to

[brittle crystal]

guess they do it in rounds too then?

ahh

im tryna explore my 1st yr

[silk scroll]

most likely

[brittle crystal]

roaming around political economy/anthro/ethnomusicology/media...

so kinda in the same space in terms of employable sectors with polisci ig

[silk scroll]

i got some thru handshake

i also cold emailed

networking also helps

columbia law is right next to me so taking advantage of that has been helpful

[brittle crystal]

Ooo

[silk scroll]

if u want any specific advice on that feel free to dm

but my advice for freshmen is just apply everywhere

[brittle crystal]

tyty

[silk scroll]

ive gotten rejected from like 60 places this year

[brittle crystal]

isnt that not even that bad

I see people apply to like 500 roles and get 2 final rounds

[silk scroll]

thats also cuz they use ai to autoapply and idk how helpful that is

[brittle crystal]

ahh

chances are better if you tailor your application along with networking/referrals/etc right

[silk scroll]

yes

i have a rlly good resume template if u want

[velvet mesa]

This is what i worry abt

[feral badge]

can u please do nyu if u can

[brittle crystal]

I lowk copied the jakes resume thing on GDocs

[feral badge]

im wl at stern specifically but idk if they give out info by school like that

[silk scroll]

yes

[feral badge]

thank u goat

[brittle crystal]

looks like ts

[silk scroll]

evil hedge fund so real

[brittle crystal]

the dream

feel like most ppl don't wanna sellout their first 1-2 yrs of college apart from the typical elite human capital finbro archetypes

[velvet mesa]

Upenn only doing 1 wave

[brittle crystal]

but end up selling out from peer pressure and $$

[velvet mesa]

They didnt even say when there wl would close

😀

[brittle crystal]

lowk better

[silk scroll]

take the info i get w a grain of salt bcuz different aos might say differnet things

[velvet mesa]

My counsler told me she sent an email to both instead of calling so hopefully jt all works out

[silk scroll]

and it might change

[brittle crystal]

id rather get the results quick than linger around the possibility

until july

[velvet mesa]

hi please

[silk scroll]

dm me

[silk scroll]

ok a lot of times schools pull from their waitlist before or around may 1st so that it counts as regular yield and not as part of the waitlist

so that could be it

but what i can promise is that i am not lying and that im reittering everything ive been told

[spiral badge]

[spiral badge]

LMAO

[spiral badge]

im ngl emory below uw madison is just stupid i might've not even applied to emory but ik it's better than uw madison 😭

and any other t30-t40 public that ranks higher than emory in that list

[copper saddle]

i was going to commit uw

[spiral badge]

LMAOO

[spiral badge]

“An update has been made to your Brown applicant portal”

[rain saddle]

we are making it in

[pure hare]

I'm so in shock right now. I thought if I made it in anywhere it would be ucsd or cmc. Thing is now I'm thinking even if I get off at CMC I'll take my offer at UCLA. It's a dream school and for me a state school cost. Especially since I plan to pursue law school

[inner veldt]

MIT waitlist today

[sturdy violet]

insane

[inner veldt]

I wasn’t expecting to get in but it was still a little sad to see the rejection after bombing physics

Maybe my proctor was my admissions officer and they saw how ass I did and rejected me

[sturdy violet]

lol

[drifting cedar]

yo

do you currently attend UC davis

[stray mango]

GOT OFF THE BROWN WAITLIST

HOLY SHIT

maybe this was the universe's way of giving back after my dad pulled that horrible shit with princeton

[inner veldt]

What did your dad do with Princeton…

[sturdy violet]

WHAT THE FUCK

[inner veldt]

Also congrats!!!!!!!

[sturdy violet]

[drifting cedar]

not in a sense that it's easy but to understand the level of difficulty

[sturdy violet]

i have a 3.91 rn

[drifting cedar]

[dim trellis]

[rare remnant]

any movement in uw instate?

[wanton grail]

bruh please i need advice on this: i got waitlisted at duke and i just got informally titled valedictorian (our county doesn’t rank so i wouldnt speak at graduation or anything but like i got an award for having the highest gpa in the school). i alr sent a loci a month ago but i feel like this is a good thing to update them on. plus a bunch of people are saying they are gonna do last ditch calls or emails to admissions to try to get off waitlists. everyone’s kind of saying what is there to lose but some others are saying it might annoy them SOO

[glacial glen]

OMDG

OMG

I GOT OFF VANDY WO

WL

[flat solar]

There is definitely no problem in sending them an email explaining it and prob a photo of the certificate

[flat solar]

Or if in their portal there is some kind of “update session” like the choose files input you could send them a pdf explaining and then send an email saying you updated your honors in the portal

[wanton grail]

omg tysm for answering bro i was stressing 😭 ur saying i should email the admissions acc instead of call right?

ahh hmm..

[flat solar]

Yeah I would send them an email

[clear lynx]

At congrats!!

[wanton grail]

waitt ok there’s an option on the portal where u can upload loci, new honors or awards, additional info, blah but like would emailing be better than thru the portal? esp since i alr sent loci to the portal

sorry lots of questions 😭

[flat solar]

Do both, like update in their portal and then send an email saying you did so

[flat solar]

No problem at all!

[wanton grail]

okok i see.. wait can i dm u lol

[flat solar]

Ofc

[weak gorge]
