[plush flower]

[dreamy lark]

oh good no language 🙏

ty!

[lusty mesa]

Pretty much the same GEs as seventh

Except one less requirement

[gentle hamlet]

don't you get booted to alt major if there's not enough space

[lusty mesa]

They don’t “have to” admit u undeclared

Behind closed doors, they can reject u, even if u were qualified for cs or ur alt, or undeclared

[gentle hamlet]

well yeah ig that's the randomness of it

they can still decide to toss your entier application in the garbage

i'm hoping that my high weighted and punchy essays can at least get me a good look

[lusty mesa]

🙏🏻

“God step in”

👼

[gentle hamlet]

ucsd generally will take 40-80 kids from my school

[lusty mesa]

Feeder

Will u be one of them tho

[gentle hamlet]

local california public

[lusty mesa]

That is the question

[gentle hamlet]

we'll see

but it helps to not be in a crazy competitive anime school

[lusty mesa]

Yea always

The HS I went to was brand new

[swift holly]

my school is an anti-feeder for UCs at this point

its wild

[lusty mesa]

I was the 2nd graduating class

[swift holly]

it used to send so many kids

but no no not anymore ⁉️

[jade onyx]

yea same

ucs hate us now rip

[gentle hamlet]

here's what we look like for the top 3 uc schools

[acoustic cobalt]

What are y'all thoughts on ucsc?

[gentle hamlet]

senior class is about 400 kids each year, around half of which apply to a uc

[gentle hamlet]

cabin in the woods feel i kinda fw it but my parents wouldn't pay the application fee

[lusty mesa]

UCSC is so dated

Log cabin summer camp vibes

[swift holly]

fuckin love it

so much

if program strength didnt exist i would go to it over like every UC other than sb and sd

its so prettyy

[lusty mesa]

Have you been in person

[swift holly]

yeah

its cute

[lusty mesa]

Yea

It’s cute

But cute only goes so far

[swift holly]

theyre over enrolled for the past two years

which means im probably getting rejected

cause theyre gonna cut down on admits a lot prolly

[lusty mesa]

They gonna rely on waitlists

That’s the strat

For all the UCs

[swift holly]

you think?

oh yeah

[lusty mesa]

Yeaaaaa

[swift holly]

iremember sd

[lusty mesa]

Imo

[swift holly]

mhm

[lusty mesa]

SD waitlist was like 25k deep

[swift holly]

YEAH

it was like a whole applicant pool

it was massive

[lusty mesa]

And they pulled mostly from it

Including me lll

Lol

[swift holly]

how many did they take off waitlist

[gentle hamlet]

middle half is 3.76-4.16, where do you stand

[swift holly]

I'm CS

[lusty mesa]

I don’t think they publish stats for getting off the WL

[swift holly]

my weighted capped is a 3.97 💀

my uncapped is a lot nicer but nobody cares about that

[lusty mesa]

No cap

[swift holly]

fr

[gentle hamlet]

i think you could probably make cs but even if you don't i don't think they'll straight turn you away

[swift holly]

i personally think capped gpa is dumb

i hope youre right

[merry nebula]

honestly even if i dont get in

[swift holly]

i thought my application profile was really strong for UCs (ignoring gpa of course lmfaosf)

[merry nebula]

ill just cc and transfer

[lusty mesa]

Cogs isn’t capped

[merry nebula]

😭

[lusty mesa]

So that’s a plus

Cc transfer is always a smart move too

[gentle hamlet]

ucsd takes like every transfer it's super meta

[merry nebula]

and nobody is gonna know ur a transfer so

u get ur GEDs out of the way

and stuff like that

hopefully i can get in tho but if i dont thats always an option 😭

idk why ppl shit on cc so much

as if like if u go to cc ur stupid or some shit

its kinda dumb

[gentle hamlet]

it's so weird to think in terms of it because it's like
ucla 4.21-4.33 capped but it's actually 4.4-4.73 uncapped

capped gpa is a lie

my application is really stats-heavy tbh and i'm a little uncomfortable with that

[merry nebula]

my application was pretty mid i think but i think my essays were fine

i have pretty standard and normal stats but kinda mid ecs

my volunteering was p good tho

[lusty mesa]

Literally

I think my volunteering carried

I didn’t have anything standout

Besides like my PT contracting job

[gentle hamlet]

i have, by a2c standards, awful ecs
but i honestly think they're mid and i really enjoy doing them

my profile would get me laughed out of reddit

[lusty mesa]

A2c standards lmao

[gentle hamlet]

you know you're an average joe when your number one ec is a school club

it doesn't get midder than that

[lusty mesa]

Oh

[gentle hamlet]

so ec's, not the strongest part of my app

i like to think my essays were alright but that's only because i've read some pretty bad ones

[lusty mesa]

UCLA is stats first iirc

And all the UCs look at u holistically

Soooooooo, essays and stats should lift some of the weight

On ur application

[gentle hamlet]

who knows lol

i know my stats and rigor are good because my friends call me crazy for doing that many ap's and i hit the 75th at every uc for weighted

but i maybe underestimating the writing prowess of the average applicant

[lusty mesa]

Only time will tell

[swift holly]

lmao for me its honestly opposite

i think my ECs are pretty good, and essays tbh

but then my gpa...

LOL

[lusty mesa]

Look, nobody likes there essays

Let’s be real

[swift holly]

i dont like my essays at all

but i think theyre good

lmfao

[lusty mesa]

I hate mine

[swift holly]

we'll see

[lusty mesa]

I thought they were mid

[gentle hamlet]

i haven't seen them since submitting

[lusty mesa]

Good

[gentle hamlet]

and i intend to keep it that way

[lusty mesa]

Don’t look back

[swift holly]

i have had to see them a lot since submitting

essay reuse is reallll

[lusty mesa]

I only reused 1 UC essay tbh lol

[swift holly]

damn fr?

[lusty mesa]

Yea

For my common app ps

[swift holly]

i've made use of all four in some way or the other

a ton of times

[lusty mesa]

Dam

[swift holly]

i hope they work out lmfao

[lusty mesa]

🙏🏻

[swift holly]

[lusty mesa]

“God step in”

👼

[swift holly]

LOL

yeah

[cerulean meadow]

I fumbled. This never happens, I’m the best tennis player on my team. How could I choke up the biggest point in the finals! It was like David and the Goliath and I was Goliath! He just got lucky, whatever I went home and cried all night! The next week I finally pulled myself outta bed and started practicing again! Finally, the next tournament I crushed my puny opponent! He was no match for me! I believe that you can achieve anything you put your mind to if you just push yourself hard enough!

[gentle hamlet]

i can imagine this happening if you submit late enough

[swift holly]

💀

[plush flower]

lmao i cant tell

also

are you gonna rename 6-8th college

to actual names

[lusty mesa]

Well someone needs to step in

And donate money

To have a school named after them lol

[plush flower]

no i thiught they would just name it after a politician

like the other 5

[lusty mesa]

Well all of those ppls families paid/donated

6th college still hasn’t been named

And it’s hitting its 22nd anniversary soon iirc

[mental cargo]

UCSD needs to take me in so I can make alumni donations

[gentle plover]

y don’t ucs have ea?

[lusty mesa]

They don’t need it

[lusty mesa]

Ucsd made 3billion in donations

No cap

https://today.ucsd.edu/story/uc-san-diego-becomes-nations-youngest-university-to-reach-3-billion-in-fundraising-campaign

[gentle plover]

What’s that supposed to mean

[lusty mesa]

They get too many apps

They’ve never had EA

Maybe it’s also a public school thing.. idk

[gentle plover]

I see

[merry nebula]

if u donate a bonsai tree r they gonna name it after me

[lusty mesa]

if i donate a bonsai they will name it after me

not u

[merry nebula]

no they won’t

they’ll name it after me

they said it themselves

If the ball state bank owner donates a fresh 2 and a half years old bonsai tree, then we will name the school after them

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

[lusty mesa]

they only want ur money

and when u give them ur money

they send u 4 ucsd postcards

with pictures of the library

[merry nebula]

🙁

[lusty mesa]

Eight college has found the provost

[swift holly]

Nicee

So these are the jobs that communications majors get

[lusty mesa]

Yes

Well communication professors

[swift holly]

Fun

[quasi vine]

😳

talking to people

/s benz ik u got cucked into it i pray for u

[lusty mesa]

[lusty mesa]

feeder

#🛩-lounge-chat message

i love ucsd

[faint totem]

WTH

termites

[lusty mesa]

kiss me on some cyanide

[faint totem]

bruh if there are termites in my room I'm gonna dump cyanide on it

along with 10 gallons of pesticides

[lusty mesa]

that was my roomate

he was hella scared

he slept in his friends dorm couch

i slept in the common room on our floor

but luckily it was only for a week bc it was the week before thanksgiving

but the room is always so damn humid bc they like to close the window

its like a hotbox sauna 24/7

[faint totem]

geezus

gotta be where that stereotype of UCSD students being in the library 24/7 came from

[lusty mesa]

and the termites come out when its humid

especially after the rain

[lusty mesa]

REAL

im at the library litterally rn

bc i hate being in that room

im not even joking

im on the 8th floor, which is the silent floor

[verbal ether]

8th floor makes me self conscious

[lusty mesa]

bc roomate is always bumping the same 4 travis scott and drake songs on repeat

[lusty mesa]

Real

[verbal ether]

stem people if u come here take ece109 with zeger itll be the best experience of your life 😎

[sturdy sparrow]

is it an eye

[lusty mesa]

it always looked like some sort of hieroglyphics to me

so yea maybe an eye

[gentle hamlet]

i'm tempted to attend as opposed to reading the long ass and probably outdated pdf they put out

[heady rune]

if i apply to an uncapped major second choice do i have less of a chance at that major then if I did it first choice?

[gentle hamlet]

chance at an uncapped major? idk they should let you into it because it's uncapped

[heady rune]

ok thanks

[lusty mesa]

You will always have a better chance at an uncapped major

Bro wtf is going on

[heady rune]

i know that, i mean will an uncapped second major be looked at in the same way as an uncapped first major in terms of admissions, considering the same requirements

[lusty mesa]

If they don’t have room for capped, they will give u ur second major uncapped

Remember, UCs don’t admit by major

Unless it’s capped

[heady rune]

alrighty thanks

[formal sparrow]

is this some christian thing

[lusty mesa]

Bruh I wouldn’t know

[gentle hamlet]

did anyone else here apply alt major to cog sci (ml and neural computation)

[swift holly]

Yep I did cogsci!

They don't let you choose concentration on the app though but I'm probably the same one

[heady rune]

i chose the alternate major on the ucsd portal and it let me choose concentration

[swift holly]

What double major

Oh in the portal??

[heady rune]

oops meant alternate major

[swift holly]

Wait why did you choose that I'm just wondering

Did you change it in the ucsd portal?

Or on the uc app

[heady rune]

on the ucsd portal

[swift holly]

Ah I see

[heady rune]

i initially chose data science as alternate major but liked cogsci more so i switched it

[swift holly]

So valid

Cogsci supremacy

[gentle plover]

[lusty mesa]

Wdym

[uncut stratus]

the college comparison page makes me so mad

[lusty mesa]

Why

[uncut stratus]

only comparing three at a time is annoying ngl

[lusty mesa]

Yea

It was student built

[uncut stratus]

they could totally just have all eight lined up

and then you just use the horizontal scroll 💀

[uncut stratus]

ui fail imho

[lusty mesa]

Meant for desktop

Yea

I don’t love

[uncut stratus]

maybe i should make a spreadsheet or smth for all 8 lined up

for more user convenience

for future kids here

[lusty mesa]

Please

🙏🏻

[teal owl]

Just a college list spreadsheet? I have something like that

[uncut stratus]

oh shit fr?

[teal owl]

Handcrafted lol

[uncut stratus]

with all of the ge requirements?

[gentle hamlet]

accept me cse and i will redo it

[teal owl]

No but I’m sure you could adjust it too add them

[uncut stratus]

oh gotcha

[teal owl]

It’s more of a comparison list with like acceptance rates and distances and stuff

Like a tracker ig

I like checking boxes so

Reasons why I want to go to UCSD

1. closest UC to twitch con
2. most convenient way to meet pokimane in college (easy access to twitch con)

I rest my case

[dreamy lark]

priorities fr

[lusty mesa]

I just connected with a ucsd alum on LinkedIn who now works at twitch

And then the next day he messaged me on instagram dapping me up lnao

[gentle plover]

w job ngl

twitch employees get special treatment from steamers iyk what i mean

[plush flower]

w rizz

[gentle plover]

W

[lusty mesa]

Baby steps

[gentle hamlet]

ucsd alumni network 🔥🔥 y'all even got lily from at&t

[lusty mesa]

Ik

Goated alum right there

[gentle hamlet]

fellow communications major too

[lusty mesa]

what

ohhhh

[merry nebula]

@lusty mesa i’m starting a new restaurant

its called ball state gourmet cafe

i’m quitting my bank job….

[lusty mesa]

niceeeee

[plush flower]

twitch literally has no future

yt gonna dominate

thats what I think

[lusty mesa]

I think twitch is very niche

It’s confined only to gaming

As for YouTube, gaming is just one of several sectors

[plush flower]

well we talking livestreaming specifically

[random pagoda]

Agree esp with those actually awful long ads

[plush flower]

"Hi can I get a referral now"

[gentle plover]

found out ucs check supplemental questionnaires for plagiarism

they send out emails that might be in spam folder to anyone who has a sus lookin supplemental

[wintry prism]

other colleges dont?

[gentle plover]

wdym

[lusty mesa]

all colleges check for plagiarism

its not something unique to ucsd

[gentle plover]

oh yeah that

any supplement

[lusty mesa]

No I’m saying every single school checks plagiarism. UCs, Privates,etc

If u plagiarize, ur fucked

[wintry prism]

yeah

[gentle plover]

the diff thing wit this is that they send an email asking to explain urself

[lusty mesa]

yea. if u plagiarized, they are gonna call u out for it

thats what the email is for

[cerulean meadow]

Yeah…. It doesn’t seem like a super unusual concept lmao

[lusty mesa]

😂

[obtuse kernel]

AHHHHHHH

[gentle hamlet]

[sturdy sparrow]

[lusty mesa]

whats ur rank

mods shouldve pinned ranking

but they didnt

[sturdy sparrow]

wdum

doesnt it depend on a lot

not a single ranking

[obtuse kernel]

is it bad to change it last minute or something

[sturdy sparrow]

or is there

[lusty mesa]

no it doesnt matter

ranking matters

[sturdy sparrow]

no like i mean

[lusty mesa]

make 6th first

[sturdy sparrow]

wdum they pinned rankings

[lusty mesa]

make roosevelt last

[sturdy sparrow]

if theres no single best ranking

[lusty mesa]

there is

[obtuse kernel]

how so

[sturdy sparrow]

huhh

the UCSD cuh came to my school and she said there was no single best ranking

they're all the same

it depensd on what gen eds u like

and college culture

💀

[lusty mesa]

6th and muir are first

roosevelt and revelle are last

[sturdy sparrow]

wait r u fr

[lusty mesa]

everything in the middle eh

yes

[sturdy sparrow]

should i try to change rn

[obtuse kernel]

what makes them better

[lusty mesa]

yes

[sturdy sparrow]

u told me like CS specific stuff

[lusty mesa]

i dont wanna explain again

[sturdy sparrow]

idt mine was that

[lusty mesa]

you can scroll up

[gentle hamlet]

better ge's and dorms

though muir looks like state sponsored communist housing

[faint totem]

LAMOOOO

i heard they smell like weed all day every day

[obtuse kernel]

changing ranking last minute doesn't affect ur chances right

[gentle hamlet]

https://muir.ucsd.edu/_images/Muir College.png

muir college ucsd

https://i.redd.it/8o2wh2808h491.jpg

communist poland

[obtuse kernel]

brutalist architecture

[dreamy lark]

built like a parking garage

[gentle hamlet]

the funny part is that 6th used to be a parking lot

[faint totem]

i guess more environmentally friendly buildings lamo

[gentle hamlet]

or was that 7th

[lusty mesa]

6th

7th used to be transfer housing

6th was muirs old parking

[gentle hamlet]

honestly with that many students if you gotta build commie blocks you gotta build commie blocks

apparently they're super efficient at letting a lot of people live in a small area

[dreamy lark]

is the inside of muir at least normal

[plush flower]

lmao I thought these were hongkong apartments

@lusty mesa hey dont u live there

[lusty mesa]

he was comparing the style

[plush flower]

oh nvm

[lusty mesa]

the photo on top is ucsd

[plush flower]

i thought that was actually ucsd

[lusty mesa]

yea no lol

[plush flower]

whoever designed those dorms should be deported

GOD DAMN

[obtuse kernel]

which is this

[plush flower]

7

[obtuse kernel]

god dam

[gentle hamlet]

7th is cool but i ain't walking that far

[bold heron]

Since we have until tmr to change our major, does that mean they probably haven't reviewed our apps?

[gentle hamlet]

they most definitely have started reviewing apps lol

they started reviewing early submitters before the deadline even

[bold heron]

yea i was thinking the same so wouldn't changing majors risk a potential admission since they prob would have to review it again

[obtuse kernel]

No?

They say college ranking doesn't affect admission

[gentle hamlet]

college ranking and major choice aren't supposed to affect admission at ucsd

they'll look at your app then they'll look at those if you get in

[bold heron]

wait ucsd doesnt admit by major??

[gentle hamlet]

i asked around and @lusty mesa might check me on this but whether or not you get offered a place within ucsd or not isn't affected by your major

[bold heron]

shocker

[gentle hamlet]

of course there are capped majors for example you picked cs and your alt major was something else... good luck switching to cs (it's impossible)

[lusty mesa]

correct

[gentle hamlet]

but you are thoroughly invited to come and study your alt major if that's what you want

it's not ucla engineering where if there's no space in your major than fuck you

[bold heron]

Yea im good with my first major choice but was just wondering if I would have a higher chance if I switch my second major choice (bc i think a lot of ppl applied to this major as an alt too lol) to smth else would give me a higher chance but ig it doesn't right?

[faint totem]

can you switch into noncapped majors if you get in tho?

[bold heron]

I think u can

[gentle hamlet]

yeah

[bold heron]

sorry for being annoying but second major choice shouldnt have an impact on admissions right..

[gentle hamlet]

nope

it will be considered if there's no space in your first choice major

if your second choice major doesn't have room for you either then you get undeclared

[bold heron]

and if second major is uncapped i should be good right

okok ty

[gentle hamlet]

then you're good

you can even switch into capped majors when you're in but the process ranges from awful to impossible

[bold heron]

this question has been on my mind for weeks so thanks for clearing it up

[obtuse kernel]

@lusty mesa muir or 6?

[lusty mesa]

6 over muir

[obtuse kernel]

because dorms?

[obtuse kernel]

thx btw 🙏

[lusty mesa]

6th is better overall

[bold heron]

thoughts on 6th muir warren marshall 8th 7th rev erc ranking for an engineer

[lusty mesa]

good

[bold heron]

any thoughts on the likelyhood of getting 6th

ik someone who goes there and they said 7th hella far from things

8th bc its new and close to things idek tbh

i heard muir is easy ge wise so i put high

[lusty mesa]

i put it 4th

but i didnt research them carefully

[bold heron]

which have best dorms

[lusty mesa]

6th

7th

8th

[cerulean meadow]

@lusty mesa u said there’s a best order?

[left adder]

what happens if i only apply to capped majors?

[plush flower]

@stable knoll pin this here or I will insult your mom

[stable knoll]

omg insult her

we can shit on her together

[gentle plover]

bruh eighth over seventh

doesn't eighth have one less ge and sixth level dorms

[hushed latch]

Is this cool ?

(Switching 7th and 8th)

glad I caught that mistake lmfao

[lusty mesa]

Yes

[plush flower]

ur mon sucks

[plush flower]

yo honestly i think every list is half decent as long as your list is like 6,7,8,…erc

LMAO

[lusty mesa]

Yep

As long as 6th and Muir are first

And Roosevelt and revelle are last

U should be good

Everything in the middle is whatever

[plush flower]

[lusty mesa]

Yes

Ok 1 week ago

Idk if I emailed another one of them

Bc I don’t have a confirmation mail about it

Bruh I don’t want my decision to be fucked bc of this

[lusty mesa]

[slender pulsar]

I tried calling an admissions office once it did not go well

Feels like it’s harder to communicate that way ironically

[merry nebula]

[merry nebula]

[cerulean meadow]

Hello aka hi aka hi

[merry nebula]

lel

[lusty mesa]

fuck

[gentle hamlet]

you can still do it in the portal

[mental cargo]

Students applying to switch to a CSE major will be populated onto an Excel sheet. Each student is then randomly assigned a number using Excel's random number generator. Students are then sorted by their assigned number from highest to lowest number. The students with the 55 highest assigned numbers who meet all eligibility criteria, (that is, who have not exceeded the two-time application limit and meet the 3.3 GPA cutoff for screening courses, UCSD 8 unit residency requirement in CSE courses, and approved quarter by quarter plan if they have 150+ units) are offered a seat in the CSE department (55 seats offered with an anticipated yield of 50 students).

In the message you receive informing you of the department's decision, we will explain what the next steps are if you were or were not approved to declare the major.

a lottery? 💀

[potent raptor]

how do you go worse than college admissions

from at least rewarding ppl who are good

to j random

[gentle plover]

well aren’t they all qualified

[potent raptor]

thats not what i mean lol

like the people who'll try the hardest wont even be rewarded for trying

[wheat walrus]

bruh wtf

lottery??

[gentle plover]

worth the risk ngl

[potent raptor]

not at all

lottery for 55 spots is tiny

i would never commit somewhere with that lowodds

[gentle plover]

out of how many

[jade onyx]

IS THIS REAL?

i knew it

[gentle hamlet]

just checked it's legit

[fervent shadow]

wtf

where is this from

[potent raptor]

your fighting about 300 or more students masd on yearly growth

and this assumes you even meet the requirements, which while 3.3 isn't hard isn't a guarantee either

[gentle plover]

18%

bruh

[potent raptor]

tiny like i said

i don't put my career and future on a 18% chance

esp not one where my merit doesn't even matter
