yooo this ish looks lit https://studentorg.vanderbilt.edu/commodorequake/

@karlierae let’s keep the hope up. by the time results come, i hope i can blast pharrell william’s “Happy”. so far, all i hear is adele’s “make you feel my love” (an ode to vandy), and “closer” (futilely hoping that vandy will make me one step closer to being a 'dore). when i get rejected, all i’ll here are funeral songs and “nearer, my god to thee” (the song played on the titanic when it was sinking.

has anyone on here taken a look at the usc app it’s so annoying

did anyone else on here apply EA to Denver University?

I am from NJ, central nj. schools here are ultracompetitive. every year, 4 get into princeton, 4-5 into cornell, 13 into cmu, but only 1 into vandy last year

@kanyesprodigy yeah the questions are just excessive

@mco2021 what did you say for the hashtag question

@em2106 you’ve been one of my favorite people on this blog and getting me through these last couple weeks with you’re funny and supportive posts. I wish everyone the best and hope we’ll get to meet on day!

I wanted to apply to USC but it looks like theyll only give me like $2k a year which is nothing, is that how it actually is or is there net price calculator inaccurate?

@kanyesprodigy yes I actually turned it in december 1st for merit scholarships (im assuming you’re talking about university of southern california not carolina) My mom and my grandpa went there, so i’m sort of expected to go there lol. We have season tix to the football games and everything. The supplements were AWFUL. they were soo vague it gave me anxiety

@jayusa8 @em2106 haha I feel the same way!

@jayusa8 oh my gosh thank you so much!! Im glad were all helping each other make it through this waiting :slight_smile:

@kanyesprodigy Ugh yes and I had to rewrite my supplements too bc I changed my major last minute before submitting my app lol

@Natedagrate13 much more qualified than me! i have like the worst ec’s ever!
