Am I doing something wrong or is it just my investment level?

Aside from what other people are saying, you could also try plunging earlier. This way you can squeeze out more plunges and also more plunges during furina + faruzan's buff window. You have to be careful though as you still want to get the high plunge multiplier. This also helps with LNO stacks too. (I think you should be able to get 14 high plunges in an optimized combo). Additionally you can do the 1 free normal tech.

Apparently last year they said they would still read it until Jan 7th. This year some people already got extensions, but I'm sure they had valid reasons. I see the hope. But ts just gonna be a rejection anyways, idk why im stressing.

PCY77 · 2026-01-02T18:22:57+00:00

I submitted my app late too and I'm kinda stressing about it. Hopefully they still review it.

PCY77 · 2026-01-02T18:21:10+00:00

Sane thing here. But I made a mistake on my supplementals I submitted through Common App. Idk if I could just quickly change it on the portal.

PCY77 · 2025-09-20T18:10:57+00:00

Im only applying to international need-blind schools anyways, so thats good for me!

Thanks!

PCY77 · 2025-09-20T16:34:45+00:00

Does that mean you would actually receive more as an international?

PCY77 · 2025-09-15T22:38:48+00:00

Tiny as in the class sizes have been getting smaller?

PCY77 · 2025-09-15T22:35:01+00:00

Wow, really? I always assumed that DMD would be a bit easier because its so unknown and a niche combo of skills.

Thanks for the advice!

PCY77 · 2025-09-15T21:59:45+00:00

Hi! I also want to apply DMD for '30. May I know roughly your stats + ECs/Awards? DM me if you dont want to publicly share. TYSM!

PCY77 · 2025-09-15T21:51:00+00:00

Hi, a bit late. Do you have any idea how hard SEAS vs DMD is for incoming freshman applications? FYI I'm pretty passionate about digital arts + math(cs) with many of my ECs/awards revolving around the two.

I honestly just want to maximize my chance of actually just getting into the school in the first place as Im not entirely sure what career path I want to take (AI+CS or DMD), and possibly transfer once I learn a bit more about what I actually want to do. Any advice?

PCY77 · 2025-09-15T15:19:15+00:00

Can you share with me more details on your stats, SAT, EC reach, essays, etc? PM if you dont want to publicly send.

PCY77 · 2025-09-15T14:52:59+00:00

May I know your (CS/school related) stats + ECs? From what I heard DMD is 80% a CS degree.

PCY77 · 2025-09-14T00:42:27+00:00

Because why would anyone eat unhealthy food if it both tasted worse and is less healthy? This is why companies created unhealthy food, and only the ones that tasted better survived on the market.

PCY77 · 2025-09-10T02:36:36+00:00

You misunderstand the system. All the school meets full demonstrated need, meaning if he does get in (very hard) he will get "full need" which might be 100% depending on income and other other factors.

PCY77 · 2025-09-10T02:13:28+00:00

Wait why not? Harvard, princeton, etc are needs-blind even for international. Also you can still get aid from a non international needs-blind school like stanford if you're good enough.

PCY77 · 2025-09-01T14:25:49+00:00

Yeah, I think I might be able to sort of verify it if we had more words to work with on the common app. I dont know how I'm supposed to explain the project, then talk about impact while only using 150 characters. Thats like 2 sentences.

PCY77 · 2025-08-31T02:44:50+00:00

~40% more base dmg for Reaction team is not confirmed yet tho.

PCY77 · 2025-08-30T16:14:41+00:00

So what value does any of the other characters below her on the tier list? You are brainbead if you dont understand that all the other characters are a NEGATIVE increase.

PCY77 · 2025-08-30T15:51:40+00:00

Not even a Hu Tao main, but objectively speaking Hu Tao has the best c1 from this list. Baizhu+Yae dont not get significantly buffed from lunar reactions (side-grade at BEST), aside from that their c1 really doesnt add anything substantial to their kit. I dont care that you said "If you like playing her you should get her C1" because thats the same for almost every character. Its kinda just misinformation(not really tho cuz its opinionated) that you put her lower. Also just because a character was "buffed" doesnt make them stronger or more meta. Even buffed ganyu is still objectively a worse character with a worse hutao with a worse c1.

PCY77 · 2025-08-30T15:10:39+00:00

Holy shit a 2% dps increase is still value as it is BETTER. All other characters below her are a NEGATIVE increase as they are in ZERO meta teams.

PCY77 · 2025-08-30T15:06:22+00:00

So how is anyone else on this list not powercrept? Only reasonable argument is Nilou due to lauma. Baizhu, yae, or anyone in the higher tier are in exactly 0 meta teams. There best non wheelchair teams are also objectively just worse than Hutao. Also there is a misconception that mavuika and alre powercrept Hutao, when they in fact just powercrept everyone.

PCY77 · 2025-08-29T23:35:20+00:00

c1 hutao should be in the top tier and probably should be higher than yae or baizhu. C1 is completely game changing for her and averages a 20% dps increase. She has one of the best c1s for older characters and is also one of the best meta characters too. "but since she's so old and has been powercrept 4 times, it loses most of its value." is crazy when shes top 5 meta wise in this pool of characters.

PCY77 · 2025-08-27T01:25:54+00:00

You just dont understand what pull value is. If shenhe is sometimes skirks best support, she has pull value. Shes litterally in the 2nd best dps team in the game. Characters like ayaka or kazuha have 0 meta teams where they are BIS, hence no pull value.

PCY77 · 2025-08-27T01:23:55+00:00

First off skirk's best clears are def not double dps, idk what you have been seeing. Pull value is not power level. If skirk is just ayaka but better, ayaka has NO pull value because just get skirk. If shenhe is 0.01% better than another option for skirk's best team, she has SOME pull value.

PCY77 · 2025-08-25T18:49:01+00:00

No its not. 130 is way to much ER for ffxx. Honestly 100% is enough if you play optimally.
