#Waitlist WINNING
1 messages · Page 6 of 1
how i determine which school i call next is by putting all my requests in a wheel and spinning it
lol they dmed me on reddit
Is rice on that wheel?
yes
ik some ppl got off nyu
haven't heard abt anything happening w amherst & nd (after 1st wave) so if you could add it as a recall it would be sincerely appreciated TY for all you're doing for us!! 🙏 🙏
i just called amherst
making waitlist calls is so frustrating bcuz half the time they transfer me to an AO and the AO doesnt pick up
Colby has moved a good bit
anyone know anything abt vandy transfer waitlist?
The post getting off a waitlist high is so real.
are Columbia seas and cc different waitlists or are all columbia wls in a huge pool?
since you have them seperate
+1 for Stanford again if possible
They’re under the same admission office so I assume one pool
Historically the admissions offices that give me the least information are Dartmouth and Columbia
does Clyde bot's messages appear for everyone?
i wouldn’t know 😔
LOL
Guys tldr columbia
harv wl moved i think
they stole one of my friends from GU
@modern arrow rip harrison 😔 ✊
I Called on 5/18. They said they have absolutely no updates and they said they have absolutely zero information. IK this is unhelpful so I can call them again in the future
historically out of every single school columbia and dartmouth always give me the least info
every call implies that was just the first wave and they will process more soon
i think they started but didn’t finish
Holy demon
so hopefully me rejecting princeton will let ur manifestation come tru 💪 💪💪
what
what school is a brunoian
brown
oh
i heard of a couple ppl getting in in the beginning of may
but like <5
either way their website says they usually only know if they are taking ppl off the waitlist by mid may at the earliest
so if movement happens it will be some time in the next 2 weeks
That’s nuts
So quick to switch
Rip his roommate
I’m pretty sure it’s moved at least a little bit
2 people from my HS got off Umich, one before May 1 and one a couple days ago
Undecided though
lmfao not his roommate commenting on it too 😭
i saw 😭
i will
🥹 thank you 🫶🏽
woah this is amazing all the schools i need
caltech and georgia tech international too pls 🙏
brown over Princeton?
Love Bruno mars
JHU waitlist is so over 😓
Same for Amherst
neu waitlist will prob be rlly good if you wrote a loci
they seem to rllyyy care abt interest
maybe youll get my spot 🫡
lemme correct that you probably wont get into boston campus but i think youll get a satellite
most ppl ik didnt go to neu cuz of price and whether it was worth the cost or they didnt get boston
i rejected neu due to both 🤷♂️
but neu also gives a lot of merit so maybe itll be cheaper than udub for you
yup
i do think udub is better than neu overall tho
(and didn't get merit)
what campus did you get?
oakland
aura
most likely yeah
open curriculum too good
true brunonian right here
I really wish I had thr chance to visit more of the schools I applied to
I did virtual tours but I wish I saw more in person
I never had the chance to really experience a campus I could see myself at
I just learned about the things colleges offer thru there websites
what gave me a better idea was asking around friends/family if they knew someone who went/goes to x school that i got into
visiting colleges isnt as helpful as you would expect (unless its admitted students day) cuz the tours dont show you much and you just see the exteriors of stuff
IT IS MY TURN TO GET OFF THE GTOWN WAITLIST.
are you on extended wl
fingers crossed 🤞
why is waitlist movement so minimal this yr
there’s honestly been a good amount of movement
i agree 😭
at least 2 spots have 100% become available
lmfao
yeah but its less than last yr
by a decent amt
i’ve no clue
like washu and rice r like dead silent
i think there were some in early may
for washu
rice i’m not sure
both are big ED schools so it makes sense
there was only a wave before may 1st
usually theres a lot of movement
Rice has not moved
I’m doing waitlist calls at the gym
they did b4 may 1st
it was a rather small wave tho
someone ik irl got in and some on reddit
Can you low-key do Claremont McKenna? I'm not even gonna go but it's weird how they took my financial info then went silent
Yes I can
Can u also call amherst pls
They're dead silent this year. Usually, they close the waitlist around this time, since last year it closed on exactly may 19
i called them already but i recall them if i have time
yale pls 🙏
Columbia 😫
i called them twice and they said they have 0 info both times 💀
i just got off UIUC waitlist for CS (highkey forgot i was still on it)
someone else can have my spot
bad news
They have not pulled anyone off yet and do not have plans to
wow impressive
but she said theres still a possibility
they also do not have an anticipated date where they plan to close the waitlist yet
im turning down ucsd, so that someone else can a spot. Good luck
lveoely
implying that no one has been taken off yet i think
yeah
blesss
is it a bad sign that its kind of late
was princeton helpful 😭
washu is moving
I called them twice and each them they transferred me to an AO but the AO would never pick up
ripp 😭 all good though tysm!!
now?
If you could recall JHU that’d be amazing 🤩
there's a couple posts on the subreddit and i know someone who got a note from admissions
Smh
Wait they gave you the option to wait-list??
They just gave me my secondary major lol
Ohh
uve been doing good getting off waitlists! congrats on cmu once again :)
omg thanks
yea idek how im getting off 😭i love this luck
yoo wait ur the person who got into like every ivy
yea i remember specifically not wanting to choose a 2nd major at any schools bc i thought that would make it harder for them to just put me in the 2nd one or sum
wait in that regard lwk kinda glad i ededto cmu??
cuz i could only choose 1 major
if i applied rd but chose a 2nd major i couldve got off the waitlist but for the 2nd major
and i would not be here
Don't you only apply to one school at cmu
I couldn't I think?
wait arent u the one who told me this 😭
real i forgot things on my apps even a few months after
I think I either only did scs
Or there was no other option
Wait I highk rushed CMU too
Like I decided to apply on the deadline
💀
Anyone else apply to Babson?
same here
there's actually so much
what is this
oo what school?
vandy
Brown package cane today 🥲
every school im clling
dyk when last yr Columbia started taking ppl off
i think it was mid june
they had waves with high movement because yield was so low bcuz ppl were worried abt protests
any internationals aware about how i go about my visa if i get off a waitlist?
because i think i have to take an appointment date for the interview but in the form we submit i need to attach my college details
Did Princeton take off a lot of people?
Have seen a fairly odd amount of people get into Princeton on insta
Thought they usually took like no one
since they’re calling to verify maybe there will be a wave this friday
atleast we have some possible movement
i saw these too
Damn should I have sent a LOCI
I don’t know if I would’ve taken it over Columbia dual ba tho esp since Princeton would be $125k more
def cu
I guess we’ll never know 🤔
good call
princeton is not worth 125k more omg 😭 😭
@night plover what are your thoughts on uw's cs department making their own generative ai thats free for students called purple
and uw alumnis trying to get students free access to all chatgpt, claude, and gemini versions
lwk i wonder if this will make uw cs even more competitive if purple acc gets really popular
light mode discord woah
yo, does purdue still accept off waitlist? shoudl i email them that i wanna be on the wl agaian/
if you are still on the waitlist, you may call them/email them
columbia is the better school imo
i think in 10-15 years the ROI of going to columbia is gonna be def higher than princeton or yale
i just dont think any school will take over harvard mit or stanford (might be a bit biased cuz im going to one of these schools)
respectfully disagree 😔
nope
no biases whatsoever
yale is extremely oudated
theyre valuing too much on random metrix
for example theyre just tryign to take a boatload of stem applicnats
but if ur going into politics or law id say yale is very good
its closest in terms of connections to harvard mit or stanford
exactly ‼️
i also got into yale this year but decided not to go
im saying overall educaiton at columbia is better and columbia still has top notch connectinos
yale is still a good school no doubt
nah i think yale is best in the country for humanities in general
i disagree
if u want journalism or humanities columbia is also good
im being unbiased as well i have no favorites for colleges
for MIT it simply has the smartest ppl in the world
so many billion dollar startups came came from it
u have top ppl in every stem field there
people always underrate stem at yale but they’re putting so many resources into developing the program not to mention its top med school etc
again the issue is that
theyre jsut doing that so they dont lag behind
i have a family memebr who works at yale and says teh same thing
oh true fs
yo also another thing is location matters a lot
out of all the t10's columbia has the best location id say second is stanford
though i am wary of the future of those programs given that columbia highkey been caving to the administration
rlly has no impact long term
imo
but the outcome is the same isn’t it?
ik ppl who got into princeton and wanted to do premed but chose columbia instead
commute to nyc is unrealistic everyday
most kids are staying on campus
idk
oh I’m not arguing w you abt princeton lol i rejected them too
i think yale will lag behind
i would pick yale over princeton if ur doing anything beside quant
i think princeton has a better location tho
what’s your definition of that?
yale is still closest to harvard mit stanford
all the top olympiad ppl around the world
for top stem kids mit is the goal
hell nahhhh nj lowkey sucks
😭
if u get into mit but ur not insane cracked level
the drive down was despicable
As someone from nj I can say Princeton is a very good town
all teh ppl ik who opted out of mit werent that mold and didnt fit for mit
oh so only in terms of stem
stem is the real money maker lol
some people want happiness
columbia has like a 70% cross admit with caltech
but simply cuz its better experience and better in everything non engineering related
true, but i found it boring and was not looking forward to having to go down the singular highway from Newark like 10 times every year
yea if ur not that level dont go to MIT
ik a girl who got into mit
Yea that’s fair
but they werent insanely cracked according to them
they leveraged women in stem ec's
and were surpirsed they got in
they decided not to go because they didnt think they would survive
theyre going to brown instead
brown is aura lowkey
yea but what i mean to say is that
no i get ur meaning
for avg cracked person
harvard and stanford are prob better
id put yale slightly below but tbh every t10 is cracked
i think overall tho ppl will have a better experience at colubmia than yale or princeton
the quality of education ull get is the same
i think the rep will recover and i think being in the city is the main factor
too many opportunities being in nyc
idkk it rlly depends on the individual though
i mean if u look at the billionaires
from each college
its harvard stanford penn columbia
like princeton is a great town and i found it boring but a few of my friends will absolutely enjoy it and thrive more there than if they’d chosen Columbia
but honestly i wouldnt put penn in same list
id say princeton is better for acaedmia
if ur into research go there
by better experience are you only referring to career prospects?
i see
i have older friends there
going to NYC is a hassle
ppl say they will go but its a 45-60 minute trip
then subway
then the commute back
its not sustainable long term
i think also
looking at statistics for billionaires is unrealistic
a lot are in grad programs and were alr rich and just went to an MBA
i think UHNW is a better metric
very true
not everyone needs or wants to be in the city though
and the point of college is not strictly to make connections and get rich?
a lot of it is tho
if ur going to a t20
obv experience matters and learning
but the main benefit are connections
i would dare to argue that this suggests ambition and a lack of ethic 💀 rather than the college itself actually giving people every skill needed
i mean its like decades of classes
of college kids
connections maybe not certainly not getting rich
idt ur life goal should be rich
that’s why i wasn’t the hugest fan of penn
but let's face it most ppl want to make a lot of money
it's human nature in this world
why do you think everyone wants to go into banking or quant?
idk who ur surrounding urself with but most ppl i know do not want to go into quant
i mean even ppl i met on admitted students day
a lot of them want to lol
so many ppl switch to finance from med or humanities
it's p common at these colleges
i mean id prob pick columbia but the college im committed to is closer to where i live
i also think there is a bit of prestige difference (not much) but still a bit
i mean a lot of ppl wont be able to do quant anyways
there is a p huge barrier of entry
at a certain point tho i feel like it’s unproductive to argue that for example columbia is decisively “better” than princeton or vice versa?
very true
i guess
i mean this is just my rationale
i feel its logical but i can understand why someone would want to pick princeton over columbia
or vice versa
i think the college prestige doesnt matter as much at this level
just by going to these colleges ur not gonna be successful u have to utilize the resources
no that makes sense but like saying the experience is better here vs there is kinda moot when everyone seeks a different experience right
oh yeah fs
most ppl will end up making only a bit more than the avg salary of an on ivy grad
i mean im just basing off
like ppl say cornell is really remote
NYC is a dream for most ppl and if you can go to columbia for free 4 years
you should def utiilize that to work hard so you can afford that lifestyle after u graduate
but i know a lot of ppl may not like the city
ohhhh wait yeah i agree
my bad i lost the plot of the original convo
but like idt there any point of ppl arguing
constantly on reddit or other forums abt what college is better
if ur dumb and u go to harvard it wont matter
a smart person at a non named college is gonna be better off
yeah reddit is so unreliable for any sort of college advice
saw someone getting bashed for choosing duke over cornell and i was just surprised like the justifications for people saying the person should've picked cornell is because it's an ivy league when there's 8-12 colleges that are higher or around the same level of prestige as an ivy league
i mean duke is p good
id pick it for most stuff
cornell is also rlly good tho its prob best engineering ivy
At that level it’s all about fit and program strength
But ofc those words scare chronically online A2Cers
how cooked is jhu 🥀
I dont really care abt ROI because im very set on law school anyways
So I guess both of them would be great
Columbia would probably be more fun cuz of the location
ts like a 10k difference lowkey
Someone claims to have gotten off the Columbia waitlist?
like who cares abt the roi for different ivy leagues
“ohhh nooo i go to t10 instead of t5”😭😭
true that
anyone think this is true? https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/1tinuu3/i_got_off_the_columbia_wl/
"state school" and its prolly uva
Watch it be Berkeley 💀
No
Most likely a troll
ew
Please and let me know what they said
they said they have absolutley 0 info all three times i called
wait theyre transferring me to an AO hold on
I’m holding on
10am n only one person? unlikely
i mean congrats to them if its true but imagine posting that n then replying to nobody 😭
That’s cause it’s fake
r u on the columbia wl?

they put me on hold for 8 mins and then they said they werent available
unless their counselor spoke w them or smth i don’t think its real
columbia is genuinely not helping my stress levels
Wow alright thanks for asking though
@sturdy violet calling ucsd rn........
I would never put anybody through this mental roller coaster with waitlist thing-y and all
@silk scroll did u say to dm for barnard waitlist? they're need aware now so im not too much into switching but still
thats why you treat waitlists as rejections
Anyone wanna call JHU for waitlist ✌️
can you say fuck you to them on my behalf
or maybe ill do it ts weekend
ha
ha
ha
ha
hahae
ha
haha
ahah
ah
ha
if you qualify to be a HEOP or CSTEP scholar email them
the only person who got off needing aid (w a full ride too) was a HEOP scholar
she also missed her interview and never replied to any of their emails which makes me think barnard rlly wants them
if those are both ny resident things then i dont
i dont remember if i told them i tried questbridge rd
anyone got any info on georgia tech?
did anybody call their office about the oos waitlist
Any info nyu
i called them and they refused to give me any information without my n id
so it might be best to call them yourself
ill do it rn
Students have likely been taken off and will continue to be taken off. They don’t have a list regarding the waitlist but they have a bunch of clusters where they group students, ex: mechanical engineering students, rural students, etc
No updates besides that
Do you think you could recall JHU sometime? 🙏✌️
Not that deep
Just wait
Probably not taking that many people off
i just did
Called on 5/20. JHU will finish sending out acceptances in the first or second week of August, and will send out decisions in the next couple weeks. Admissions officers cannot see financial status when reviewing applications or majors unless biomedical engineering so they don't consider that
Ok tysm
What did you ask them
I’m waitlisted there so I can probably call and give them my net Id
Yes
If my wifi isn’t shit rn new waitlist post is out
If they’ve accepted students or anticipate pulling and if so how much, if they prioritize any specific students ex international vs domestic financial aid etc, when the waitlist will close, rolling admissions or anticipated decision dates, etc
@deep palm jaidennnn my love can u approve thissss ty
is yale in here perchance
it's approved !
What is this about Dartmouth taking people off in waves?
It's not gonna be 0 this year?
they didn’t pick up
fake
Does Harvard just waitlist everyone remotely qualified, way more than other schools?
Nope they clearly see something special in you cuz many remotely qualified kids get rejected
i thought this too after ivy day
it’s a larger waitlist than like yale or stanny but a lot of qualified candidates were rejected
to peer schools, yes
I called them three times and they said they weren’t available every time 💀
@silk scroll you end up reaching cmc?
why can’t you just call them
Good point
i think ppl r afraid it will hurt their application
if they call and ask
which it won’t 😭 😭 😭
What does cmc stand for
It depends on the school
Some schools do count it against you some don’t
Claremont McKenna
And I know this is true bcuz I got this info from an ex Columbia AO
bruhhh
That’s so dumb
im sure it also depends on what u say
i love that you have pinged me in waitlist winning for some reason
and yeah thats a great question it makes me want to kill mysel
why are 3 different people typing
i definitely should have thought of the opinions around it before i committed, i know how big udubs cs program is and i studly thought because seattle is wokeville it wouldnt be as apparent but yeah i didnt think very hard. and i lowkey regret it. but at least it wont be in the same way it is where im from where ppl legitimately just use it to do everything for them, rather than places like udub using it for research, medicine, etc. more often
still makes me sick though 
imoo i think there is a difference between generative ai being used for entertainment/consumerism/pure shit slop and a university providing generative ai to be used in an academic environment.
lets get a gigantic data center in utah!
thats what my message did just say but i figure u sent that before i sent mine
yeah 😭
i sent it right when u did on my end
Are you in CS?
it gets a lot less clogged than general so ive been using it as a regular talking channel tbh 😭 hopefully the mods don't slime me
im not a fan of generative ai either but i don't think whether or not ppl support it depends on college as much as it might seem. ai has just been integrated into our education a lot, and even colleges in "woker" areas like ucla have students who use ai a lot like the student showing his chatgpt logs at graduation
and especially those videos on social media of ppl from "pristegious" colleges cutting fruit and promoting their ai studying apps. i think it's a general education problem and it's not college specific
uw students outside of cs r more opposed to ai based on ppl ive met
i think that ai had a lot of potential to help others like recent ai cancer detection or ai auto translators but people just began using it the wrong way and now ppl think all of ai is bad
big tech got a lil greedy
uw has a lottt of weed out classes tho i think the students who use ai for everything would be cooked real fast
no im social sciences
i meant moreso like big cs program = lots of ai
can u try unc chapel hill
or duffield cornell again if possible
u can call
she has called today already
the answer isn’t changing 5 hours from earlier 😭
What do u think abt nyu
Will they hold it against
If not then I’ll call them and ask for more since they needed a net id
I don’t think so she was like oh yeah we won’t hold it against you
Alr I’ll try tmrw thank u
i was just asking w no pressure chill
i was only wondering cause she noted that duffield didnt respond
and she didn’t do unc chapel hill thats all
Well it’s gonna go away eventually so get used to #🚀-general-chat
Alternatively revive #🛩-lounge-chat
No slowmode in there
coe no you cant do this
It would be so awesome sauce if you’re a pioneer of #🛩-lounge-chat
Bring all ur friends in there
when i get mod im going to bring waitlist winning back and even the 2022 college mega threads
just you wait
i will delete your lounge channel
just wait until im head moderator and server owner
wait can you give me mod for a day for april fools
itd be rlly funny
Some guy held this up and got put on screen at Utah music festival
During turnstile
Hayley Williams also had anti data center graphics during her set
A few other acts said stuff too
Are you sure abt that
Feather likes to rage bait
You can use #🛩-lounge-chat and #🏡-verified-village if you’re a verified college student
They are both slower than gen chat
Bro
😭💔
high key probably why nyu asks for ur id
they tryna slime someoe one
Journalism? They don't have that undergrad my guy
That's mostly from Columbia bus school, not ugrad
no i made it up
we need a version for mod
ill fix this when i get the role
if u want to go into journalism it offers p good resources in the undergrad u cna do any major in theory if u want to go into a career like that
no even when u factor in undergrad it's top 5
majority of UHNW do come from grad schools at top colleges
esp with harvard because a lot of international ppl pay their way in
for the name prestige
We do have one it’s just not for you to use
apparently someone got off the stanford waitlist??? i don't know if this is true or not tho
this person is cs too and i thought that wouldve filled up already
dont think stanford gives two fucks about major
shes the earth owner twin
im actually shocked
i had no idea this whole time
i was threatening chloe to get the server owner to kick her when
chloe was the server owner......
Who did you think was 🤣
And what did you think I was
i thought you were just like the other mods 😢
So who would’ve been owner
uhhhh idk
i thought the owner was someone who was barely active
wow no wonder you are so active
🤯
i feel like i am putting it all together now
atry
CONGRATS
oo where?
currently committed to cornell.. so have to decide if the swtich would be worth it
econ/public policy
brooks prefire
sith trooper got it
did u apply for aid?
hmmm
i suggest #954425230896545792
only things i know about cornell are CALS and CAS
and i know only northwestern medill
ucla is doing waves yes?
no
well I'm also comitted to cornell (COE) atm so I'm biased
I was also choosing between northwestern, cornell, and a few other schools
ultimately decided I wanted to be closer in proximity to NYC and just liked cornell's vibes better
but it probably depends on what you like
what’s the most important factor for u and college @weary root
northwestern, for instance, is considerably more urban
idk 😭 but probably quality of academics/learning and also general opportunity but especially internship/job wise
Right so it's not Columbia specific. You could say the same for Yale and more. But if you really want journalism it's northwestrn undergrad.
So it's a bs statistic you're admitting. Has little relevance for ugrad. Did you just gpt some vague reasons?
would you see nu v cornell is a big difference or not particularly
in terms of opportunity and education probably not
at the end of the day we're talking abt an ivy and a t10
both are very solid for public policy and econ too
whatever u pick ur gonna get a great education lol
so get that stressor out of ur mind when considering
this. the bigger factor will be culture/fit
Any columbia drops?
Damn the fabled uiuc waitlist 😭 cs intl
Well you're an illini
id say the connections and level of wealth is greater columbia or yale which is why theyre a better choice.
not necessarily. most UHNW come from grad schools to be honest and didnt go to top undergrads. however the ivy league are represented way more than other colleges when you look at where these UHNW went. remove the grad and the list is still the same. no this isnt gptd at all lmao
wouldnt put northwestern as a bonafide t10
theyre good at gaming the USnews which is 1 ranking system but most ppl in the industry will tell you that theyre not above a lot of schools which theyre ranked above
it's still a good school nonetheless and very good for engineering too
like if you want to do finance which a lot of ppl want to do going to northwestern isnt as good as cornell
cornell is ranked way higher and simply put it's going to have more level of wealth there as well which means better connections
Νο
have there been any cornell cals admits yet
Oh
What’s wrong with that
what
niceeee
still waiting on ce oos lmao
yay
The mention of 'AI' in a positive light was booed at several commencement speeches, and AI use even led to a major mishap at another graduation ceremony. This while a recent Gallup poll shows Gen-Z feelings towards AI is becoming more negative.

So you don’t explain anything?
It’s a CS curriculum
All top CS schools need some AI integration into their curriculum
Why? Because AI is a huge part of the job. No one is writing code anymore. Companies are enforcing policies where employees need to use a certain percent of AI into their work
this will change
it’s not doing the work
i was a big claude user until march when i went cold turkey
it is not capable of replacing the work of a software developer with the same quality
the prompter needs to bring existing expertise and introducing llms so early defeats the purpose of education
Depends on if investment keeps up
ai is a bubble and the public has caught onto that so i would imagine some companies would dump it for pr
i think vibe coding has def become more normalized
I agree with this point
in the past it was looked down upon but now it seems to be encouraged at some colleges
i am personally an anti ai absolutist even if it means i need to do more work to keep up
“my heart is in the work” - andrew carnegie
or smth
I think the whole using AI class is overblown and gets confounded with a strong theoretical CS courses
andrew carnegie would promote ai if he were alive today
definitely
This is true
he was literally a robber baron 🥀
Look at who spoke at the graduation
as with most of the historical greats his legacy has been repurposed for inspirational purposes
i agree
please save me harvard or yale or columbia universities
The environmental stuff is a concern but way overblown by bad journalism
eh
i looked into the data center stuff the water usage is much less than what golf courses use
I attended an AI talk at UW as a part of orientation and that’s what the professor said (works at deepmind)
elon is just a rlly bad architect and can’t clean up after himself
Yeah
Still climate impact, just not to the degree reported
IMO
technical arguments aside for me personally it comes down to integrity
i think it’s comparable in effect to choosing not to use energy drinks
What do you mean by integrity? If you are working at a tech company that encourages the use of AI, is there no integrity on your behalf when you choose to use it
this opens a whole nother can of worms about the extent of individual choice within a system
yea my job search is gonna be hard 💔
like ppl with this logic justify lockheed interns cuz "otherwise someone else will do the job"
i concede that claude makes coding 10x easier but bc of my personal beliefs i cannot touch it anymore
also unskilled clauders polluting the web with vibe websites ruined it for me
unskilled writers spamming gpt blog posts or social media posts
pmo
In this economy I’m working at Lockheed my guy 😭
ai as a concept is a victim of the public as much as it later victimized the public
one it was trained on reddit two people are using it as a crutch rather than a helper
Also I’m not going to a crazy school like yall I’ll take what I can get. However, I am against some of the actions of Lockheed ofc
georgia tech is a crazy school
Not like an Ivy or CMU SCS 🙏😭
I will have to lock in more
GT CS mogs brown CS for ppl trying to do SWE
i guess bro
btw my sister goes to tech u might meet her
Oh shit fire
What are you trying to do lmao
gt was 8% oos
i lowk am not committed to cs that much, so i needed a general school for fallback if cs market gets cooked
cmu scs was 7% overall it’s not that crazy of a jump 😭
i heard it was like 4%
no it’s always been 7
oh
they told us this on the tour
still crazy
Ok thank God you didn’t say quant or some dumb shit
im not delusional enough to pursue quant lol im not that cracked
the amt of cs applicants has dwindled in recent yrs bc of alternate majors like statml and infosci
loll
brown university
No like what I mean is if you have issues around working for Lockheed surely there are issues for working for quant lmao
cmu scs
I’d do it, but I’d feel like I’m contributing 0 to society
So probably pair that up with something else if I have time
does quant play a role in killing children
Not to the same degree
There are still issues
Some of the brightest minds not contributing anything
i suppose
yawn
ur name says waitlist warrior x4 but u only named 3 schools
whats the 4th
ftr brown straight rejected me 💔
cornell
may not go over cmu bc a lot of my opps ended up there 😭
ik someone who got into all the ivies except brown and dartmouth
and she also got rejected for uiuc
cmu scs > cornell cs imo
uiuc is lowk harder than mich or gt for cs
i agree
I’d rather be at Mich or GT tho
gt as a school is much better imo
¯_(ツ)_/¯
GT is the most cost efficient
but the programs r like that for some reason
Babson better accept me even though I got a 0.01% chance rn
Same cost I’m choosing Mich lmao
r we just having a cs major conference 😭
actually im undeclared
- no majors at brown
Bigger school, more school spirit, strong interdisciplinary engineering
i would be undeclared at harvard 🤩
Stronger alumni network for sure
i like smaller schools
#unwaitlistmenow
Guys u gotta believe in me
Personal preference I guess
I can do it with a 0.01% chance
Why bad on
just transfer lowk
SLU
My friend got into Babson and he’s going and we’re clowning on him for not going to the University of Washington
#1 ai/cs school in the country
Full uni name?
csrankings
#1 ai is bad we went over this 😭
Nah u gotta think about it like this if one of ur loved ones had a 0.01% chance of survival then would u spend money on them for a treatment?
Saint Louis university
Oh ok nice
What state are you in btw?
i saw a clip from abbott elementary talking about st louis university of technology
Exactly now u get it u gotta have confidence even when times are tough
IL
If you don’t mind sharing
did u apply uiuc
Why not try transfer to gies?
gies is very good
Yes I got rejected
It’s great + cheap + you don’t have to shell out 100k
I wanna transfer somewhere better
Babson is not better btw
That’s cap it’s #1 for entreprenuership
For a reason
rankings are subjective
Entrepreneurship as a degree doesn’t make sense
IMO
i would say stanford is better known for entrepeneurship
Because most of the experience is hands on
Bro why’s everyone hating on entrepreneurship 😭
You could do like a technical degree and join the start of incubator at your school
Yes but like when doing entrepreneurship in college ur surrounded with a team
You’ll get the same hands-on learning and a technical education
No, you’ll have a team you have to find people at your university. I think you can build connections anywhere.
Like no aid, Babson is gonna be like 400 K over four years
But at uni it’s easier
The risk is worth it
Part of the entrepreneurship experience is building these connections on your own
I mean, maybe you’ve researched this more than me so you’re probably right
The main way people become millionaires is through launching their own businesses. It makes sense at a school, where everyone is launching their own business that a large number of people are becoming successful. For everyone success story there’s at least 50 other stories where people don’t succeed.
i’m also transferring but prob lateral
ironically, among my family the wealthiest ppl are the ones who went to state schools and the ivy grads are bums
maybe im destined for failure
400k invested in index funds with a 10% return rate yoy (the average in the past 100 years) is 7 million dollars in 30 years and 2.2 million in 20 years and 1 million in 10 years
You already got into a good school why?
Yessir
🥀
Come to Georgia Tech trust
lateral means transferring into a school of equal merit
My point is I don’t think any school is worth 400k ngl
i alr turned down the offer 😔
why we opping on gatech
oh i didn’t mean that in relation to gt
What about Stanford?
I just got prestige mogged damn
it just sent late
Yeah, it’s worth it
gt and cmu are comparable cs wise but i’ve never seen someone going the other way
But why?
yea i want stanford ideally but their transfer is like 0.01%
so uhh
One it’s in Palo Alto it’s a huge start of incubator too. It’s a lot more technical so the startups are gonna be a lot more technical.
columbia 🦁
Me with babson rn
Columbia is easy to transfer to
For what I heard
Stanford also has a really strong name and Babson is not as universally known
Stanford also will have a lot stronger of connections and the general environment will be a lot more competitive
what
i've only heard about this for cornell
and its relative "easy" not actually easy
would u take columbia over cmu scs?
Lmao I’d rather be at my state school than Columbia
Questions like these vary extremely from person to person the experience you get at a college (perhaps finding your long term partner, your cofounder, doing research that saves lives) can be so valuable money cant determine their worth. On the other hand, if your goal is simply money you are hundreds of times more likely to make more money investing the 400k than using it to go to any school
because of cost orrr
If I wanna go into big Tech, UW, Seattle computer science is stronger placement that Columbia
For quant or other more prestigious stuff Columbia is for sure better
oh well uw seattle oos cs AR is like 2% so thats different
Thats a big difference
like obv thats hella competitive
What schools are you considering?
Yeah, It was hard turning it down
what made u choose gt over uw
did u get into uw cs?
I got UW CS
also since ur instate wouldnt it be cheaper
I’m just not super sure about CS
Rn I’m going to SLU
Over four years it’s a $57,000 difference which my family can afford
And your other option is babson?
because of cost orr
I’m on the waitlist rn
i dont like how other ppl's parents dictate their college decision
unless they're paying tuition
Yeah but my friend said the prices are exaggerated
Most parents paid tuition or contribute a little bit
His portal says 65k but he’s ending up paying 45k
So they’d pay for babson but not vtech
Babson is #1 for entreprenuership
asu is #1 for innovation
Babson and Vtech are extremely good in their respective fields you’d do great things at either
I also think you could shine at a school like lsu
It sorta is what you make of it
Say ong
I’d personally rather be at ASU than Babson but that’s probably cuz of cost
Babson is a good school
party life
Nah, stronger Eng program. Also good location. Not a huge party guy 😭😭
yea def
loved the campus on my tour
lower cost and better housing
nice nice
my friend chose columbia over scs
but he also got a likely letter so that mightve changed things a bit
none as far as i know
Unless Reddit is trolling looks like Brown wave 2
Has Cornell CAS had a single wave except the one on May 4?
quick question: who would choose carnegie mellon info systems program over UT Austin's Neuro+CS program?
someone at my school is going to cmu for that, and given their specialties, i think they would stay at cmu
by specialties, you mean them being good at and interested in consulting, product management and etc
great choice
cmu scs is good but not worth it over an ivy
me
no brainer
depends on price
cmu isnt worth 100k simply put
scs is only one i can see justification for becasue the salaries are so high
but if cost isnt an issue go cmu
You know you would really enjoy music festival communities
They have a need for a very similar thing that you do here
For example Lollapalooza has a waitlist system for wristbands for people who don’t get theirs during the initial sale
People get off the waitlist based on people who put their wristbands on payment plans and either don’t make the scheduled payments on time or they voluntarily cancel their payment plans
And each person on the waitlist gets a number
So people will compare their numbers to see how far along the waitlist is
It sounds simple the issue is it isn’t consistent across wristband types
So if the absolute lowest waitlist numbers start with 150 then maybe we get up to 155 for GA in one waitlist wave but 161 for VIP since fewer people signed up for VIP but they’re all getting numbered in one continuous order regardless of which type they chose
Then you have to add in single day and two day wristbands and GA+ and Platinum
I’m bad at math but it’s probably around a dozen or two wristbands that would need to be tracked and as of now no one has come up with a better system to track them other than posting on Reddit and hoping someone will respond to you
EDC wristbands go on sale today at 3pm ET and I think they may use a similar system as Lollapalooza (although with only a few diff wristband types instead of over a dozen) since they’re run by the same ticketing company so if you wanna jump on this that might be a good time to as they let people start waitlisting immediately after tickets sell out which should be within an hour or two max of the sale time
boutta make waitlist calling isabella's full time job
I had the same option but ended up choosing UT bc I felt that the program wasn’t too STEM focused. Although, cmu program was really good
omg me too…
gt worse than asu for innovation 
Did you get off WL?
this is highkey just not it
ai is not leaving 💀 you have to learn how to use it so you don’t get ur ass fired
oh i know how to use it but i choose not to
well good luck
More importantly any news with Columbia???
o
don't think columbia wl is opening until end of may or start of june
some actions 😰
Early june
Huhuhuhuh???
And a major chunk of that's GS kids right
good amount i think
it is just “easy” compared to other ivies
that take like nobody
I think if u get rid of Cornell's TO kids it's about the same as Columbia's rates
Anything wrong with that?
same reaction LMFAOOO
There is nothing wrong with what I said?
Lowk why am I wasting my torn
Time
From the common data set it looks like Dartmouth had a 70% yield. I wanna be wrong but I don't think I am 😭
Tho it also doesn't say it was updated after April
So it's weird
i have a hot take about this lowk
i don't think llms are the root of the issue
its the corporations that are pushing for this while not doing much social good at all
like the way they talk about replacing people and the focus on money is like disgusting
imo working in swe at all in just feeding these people
and even if ai is a bubble (which i think it isn't), they'll find something worse to do
If columbia does come out what time would they send it
normally they send stuff 5-7EST so it probably isn’t coming tonight
If you were waitlisted at Columbia this is a reminder that that the huge waitlist wave that happened last year occurred in mid June.
