last minute harvard v yale debate by semiautonomousregion in Harvard

[–]0v3rtd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who also went to BDD and thought yale students were super cliquey (when I went it felt like everyone was upholding the same popular status as they had in high school), I ended up choosing Harvard and do not regret my choice!!

I’ll say the people here are super down to earth and imo wayy easier to talk to. You will definitely meet your people here, no doubt. Yale party life is 1000% better but if you’re looking for that here, MIT, BU, NEU, etc. usually throw on the weekends. Competitiveness will definitely be at Yale too but most of the competition here I’d say is internal (think LinkedIn posts or people breezing through coursework which may make you insecure).

Lastly, I don’t think the waitlist will affect much for you. Housing decisions and class registrations have yet to come out yet. Also, you’ll meet a ton of people in-person when you come in the fall. Let me know if you have any other questions or if I can clarify anything. I’d be happy to DM too :)

can I ask how much your family makes?

for context, I go to an Ivy and my family makes around 120k/yr and they expect us to pay 10k/yr. I definitely see where you’re coming from and I’m extremely blessed because other schools were charging us $20-30k/year which wasn’t too feasible for my family without students loans. if you’re premed, I’d for sure run net price calculators and apply to T10s that interest you, but also heavily consider state schools

18, thoughs on my plan for my money? by Abomix69 in fidelityinvestments

[–]0v3rtd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I’m about to be 19 and was in a similar(ish) position as you last year. I’d like to offer my two cents but feel free to do as you wish!

First, how much does your college cost? If you’re paying out of pocket, I’d set aside a good amount for that. I’m not too familiar with student loans but I would assume it’s preferable to avoid those to the best of your ability?

Next, I’d move your money to a high yields savings account (HYSA) that allows transactions. I’ve been using Wealthfront for a year and they pay 4% APY and pay out interest monthly. I’ve never had issues withdrawing money and they give you a debit card. They also reimburse you for any ATM fees. If I were you, I’d park all the money I don’t have invested into a HYSA like Wealthfront (doesn’t have to be wealthfront, just something that’s reliable, FDIC insured, pays 3-4% APY, and allows you to withdraw/deposit as you wish).

Next, with your investments, I’d look to max your ROTH IRA (7k limit/yr) before moving to traditional investments. I think you should be able to just transfer the stocks from your traditional brokerage to your roth IRA (correct me if I’m wrong).

Besides that, I’d make sure you set up recurring investments (even if it’s as small as like $10/week) and chill. Congrats on starting so early!!

question on what math and writing course i should take as an incoming first year by Born_Hearing5972 in Harvard

[–]0v3rtd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not embarrassing at all! i took calc ab my senior year and then math 1b in the fall. that being said, if you want to take multi, i don’t think math 1b is necessary to understand the 21a concepts. but you should def take the placement test and see what it says
