The post getting off a waitlist high is so real.

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

either way their website says they usually only know if they are taking ppl off the waitlist by mid may at the earliest

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

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

#

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

extended waitlist is outrageous

They're dead silent this year. Usually, they close the waitlist around this time, since last year it closed on exactly may 19

# slate sapphire Ohh

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

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 don’t know if I would’ve taken it over Columbia dual ba tho esp since Princeton would be $125k more

@night plover what are your thoughts on uw's cs department making their own generative ai thats free for students called purple

#

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)

formal cosmos
split flume
#

no biases whatsoever

formal cosmos
#

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

split flume
#

exactly ‼️

formal cosmos
#

i also got into yale this year but decided not to go

formal cosmos
#

yale is still a good school no doubt

split flume
#

nah i think yale is best in the country for humanities in general

formal cosmos
#

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

split flume
formal cosmos
#

theyre jsut doing that so they dont lag behind

#

i have a family memebr who works at yale and says teh same thing

formal cosmos
#

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

split flume
#

though i am wary of the future of those programs given that columbia highkey been caving to the administration

formal cosmos
#

imo

split flume
formal cosmos
#

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

formal cosmos
split flume
#

oh I’m not arguing w you abt princeton lol i rejected them too

formal cosmos
#

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

split flume
formal cosmos
#

yale is still closest to harvard mit stanford

formal cosmos
#

for top stem kids mit is the goal

split flume
#

😭

formal cosmos
#

if u get into mit but ur not insane cracked level

split flume
#

the drive down was despicable

formal cosmos
#

its better to go to a top LAC

#

like an ivy instead

feral badge
formal cosmos
#

all teh ppl ik who opted out of mit werent that mold and didnt fit for mit

split flume
formal cosmos
#

stem is the real money maker lol

split flume
#

some people want happiness

formal cosmos
#

columbia has like a 70% cross admit with caltech

#

but simply cuz its better experience and better in everything non engineering related

split flume
formal cosmos
#

ik a girl who got into mit

formal cosmos
#

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

split flume
#

brown is aura lowkey

formal cosmos
#

yea but what i mean to say is that

split flume
#

no i get ur meaning

formal cosmos
#

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

split flume
#

idkk it rlly depends on the individual though

formal cosmos
#

i mean if u look at the billionaires

#

from each college

#

its harvard stanford penn columbia

split flume
#

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

formal cosmos
#

but honestly i wouldnt put penn in same list

formal cosmos
#

if ur into research go there

split flume
#

by better experience are you only referring to career prospects?

formal cosmos
#

yea but

#

living in the city is prob better

#

theres not much to do in princeton

split flume
#

i see

formal cosmos
#

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

formal cosmos
#

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

split flume
formal cosmos
#

ultra high networth individauls

#

yale is 11th

split flume
#

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?

formal cosmos
formal cosmos
#

if ur going to a t20

#

obv experience matters and learning

#

but the main benefit are connections

split flume
# formal cosmos

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

formal cosmos
#

of college kids

split flume
formal cosmos
#

idt ur life goal should be rich

split flume
#

that’s why i wasn’t the hugest fan of penn

formal cosmos
#

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?

split flume
#

idk who ur surrounding urself with but most ppl i know do not want to go into quant

formal cosmos
#

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

split flume
#

soulless ahh major

#

imo

#

but I’m in the minority ig

formal cosmos
#

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

formal cosmos
#

there is a p huge barrier of entry

split flume
#

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?

split flume
formal cosmos
#

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

split flume
#

no that makes sense but like saying the experience is better here vs there is kinda moot when everyone seeks a different experience right

formal cosmos
#

most ppl will end up making only a bit more than the avg salary of an on ivy grad

formal cosmos
#

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

split flume
#

my bad i lost the plot of the original convo

formal cosmos
#

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

spiral badge
#

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

formal cosmos
#

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

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

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 happythumbsup

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

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

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

It’s a CS curriculum

#

All top CS schools need some AI integration into their curriculum

knotty sentinel
#

theoretical ai yes

#

using commercial llms is a big no

clear lynx
#

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

clear lynx
#

Educate me

knotty sentinel
#

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

ai is a bubble and the public has caught onto that so i would imagine some companies would dump it for pr

Yk the amount of millionaires they produce at Babson right?

It’s a lot

clear lynx
#

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

Columbia is easy to transfer to

#

For what I heard

clear lynx
#

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

i've only heard about this for cornell

and its relative "easy" not actually easy

stray mango
clear lynx
rigid obsidian
# velvet merlin What about Stanford?

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

stray mango

velvet merlin

Also Babson is approximately 250-320k

someone at my school is going to cmu for that, and given their specialties, i think they would stay at cmu

i was wrong

#

their commitment post says info sys but theyre actually doing statml

formal cosmos

cmu scs is good but not worth it over an ivy

formal cosmos

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

abstract cloak
#

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

its the corporations that are pushing for this while not doing much social good at all

If you were waitlisted at Columbia this is a reminder that that the huge waitlist wave that happened last year occurred in mid June.
