Harvard SCEA Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

@gameaholic11 howdy

@Drewwwfoo Florida has Disney and Universal as well! And Busch Gardens!

@flautamagica Awesome! Reppin’ hard for FL!!! :slight_smile: Maybe it helps that we’re applying from a “backwards” state?

Anyone from Alabama?

@flautamagica True! I am jealous that you have the Disney World.

Going to be in class when decisions are released… I’ll be checking late I guess! Was hoping to tear off the bandaid right away

STORY TIME: WEIRD DREAM EDITION!!!
Circa the summer before Freshman year.
Background: I had already read the Divergent series, and I had just read The Alchymist for a Battle of the Books. My friend was away, so I had not spoken to him for a few days.

THE DREAM starts off in a low-ceiling classroom-esque area. I barge in, and my friend (who we will name Cam) is being brought to be hanged. He is this year’s sacrifice to the flounder god. His family weeps, yet no one tries to save him. His mother locks eyes with me, and says, “Help.” So, as the naturally loud person I am, I GO NUTS. RIOT TIME!!! I basically speak as if our “faction” is the only one that is required to sacrifice someone to the flounder, and it is UNFAIR BECAUSE WE ARE BEING UNDERPAID FOR WHAT WE DO. People applaud. People yell. The guardsmen gets uneasy. As the townspeople begin running rampant, the classroom around us collapses. We are now in an dome (Stephen King esque).

Flounder god approaches me. “If you want to save your friend,” he says, “you must battle me. YOU MUST DESTROY THE FLOUNDER GOD.” I accept the challenge. FG has an army of misc. sea urchins to help him out, and the only thing I have is a sword, and the little alchemy power that I possess. Alongside my algebra teacher, we fight the great Flounder god. Carcasses are being pelted to and fro; none of them leave the dome. The flounder is getting stronger, and is beginning to hurt me. As a last resort, my teacher and I put our forces together. My green aura surrounds me, and I pelt the damn flounder with my energy. My teacher spears him, and the flounder dies. The dome immediately dissipates, and we are relocated to a glacier.

On the glacier, I sled down to meet my friends. Cameron is there, and I ask if he would like to hang out. After all, I SAVED HIS LIFE. He ultimately turns me down, and out of spite, I end up in the city. I am famished. I mean, I just killed the great flounder god, after all. I turn up in this little food establishment (which is the only one open at the time) and I cannot find any halal foods. Upset, I leave in a rush, only to run into my school principal.

I find myself in the halls of the public high school. “As a thank you,” the principal says, “here are some running shoes. They are the key to the track. Please use the track as often as you please. We are so grateful.”

The end.

@tuty143 hey sorry for the late reply, I was at swim practice. They might re-consider some but everything should be finalized at this point…

Shut up you guys live in fun states. I live in Michigan. Our claim to fame basically ends at having extremely large lakes and an ample water supply

@schroscat LLLLLLLOOOOOLLL FLOUNDER GOD!!!
BTW loved the divergent series (but also kinda hated it because of allegiant)

Glorious. @schroscat YOU MUST DESTROY THE FLOUNDER GOD.

Gotta love dreams. If I weren’t so invested in English/storytelling, dreams would toooootally be something I’d wanna study.

Edit: ALSO loved Divergent. Meh on the second one and #stop on the third.
Hunger Games is where it’s at.

@schroscat please tell me that was your supplemental essay
(i don’t suppose you’ve seen carmilla by any chance)

@pioneer16 Coming from someone who lives in California, having an ample water supply is important. lol

@pioneer16 At least you have water xD #california #droughtproblems

@Drewwwfoo I can send you some water in the mail if you want

19 HOURS 25 MINUTES 15 SECONDS

Anyone here from the triangle?

@flautamagica Allegiant can die. CAN DIE. (I also read the HG at this point, so that also plays a factor) THE FLOUNDER GOD IS REAL…SOMEWHERE.

@rabblerouser If you ever become a dream analyst, I’ll be your first client. I have some strange dreams…
Hunger Games was great until Mockingjay. And so…this is why trilogies suck 67% of the time.

@swarleys I talked about getting my kids suture kits for their birthdays as a supplement. I SHOULD HAVE SENT THIS IN!!!

ALL HAIL THE FLOUNDER GOD!!

@pioneer16 That would be ridiculously helpful. Send the water to LA. Thanks!
@hellobeautii I feel the pain.

Representing Canada here :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
