UCSD 🔱 (2022-2023)

[lusty mesa]

wtf is this supposed to mean lmao

[cerulean meadow]

thats actually a super cool email

do u get to keep it after u graduate

[lusty mesa]

im joking

thats not my email

[cerulean meadow]

either way, do you get to keep ur college email after graduation?

[lusty mesa]

yea

they will give u an "alum" email

its like [email protected]

[cerulean meadow]

nicee

do most colleges do that

[lusty mesa]

Yea most schools let u keep it

bc all ur work is stored in google drive

or microsoft or whatever

all the UCs use google drive

bc i actually have a UC Davis email that still works

[cerulean meadow]

can you use a personal google drive while at uni or do they make you use the school account for school stuff

[lusty mesa]

i am

wait i read that wrong

[cerulean meadow]

cause it feels a little like they would have some ownership of what you put on your school account and that would make me a bit uneasy

[lusty mesa]

some documents need to be opened with a ucsd email

like only ppl within the org can see/share/edit

but you can def use ur own accs

[gentle hamlet]

sign up to porn websites with college issued email

[cerulean meadow]

biggest brain

[lusty mesa]

i stored 30 GBs of video files for my job on my HS google drive

[fervent shadow]

does that come free?

[lusty mesa]

its free

[fervent shadow]

damn they even buy those types of services I see

[cerulean meadow]

ill just download 1 terabyte of pirated movies on the school wifi without a vpn then store them on my school account

[gentle hamlet]

there's gotta be some kind of student discount on one of those sites
"Stressed in college? We can help."

[cerulean meadow]

LMAO

[lusty mesa]

oh yea

if u pirate, they bust u

bc its a federal crime

and its a public uni

[cerulean meadow]

only without vpn

[lusty mesa]

well yea

one of my profs actually encouraged us to get a vpn

[cerulean meadow]

when i first pirated i did it without a vpn and my isp called my parents like "why are you pirating"

[lusty mesa]

to access a textbook

LMAO

[cerulean meadow]

lmaooo

[lusty mesa]

really

[fervent shadow]

yeah same

they just slowed the internet down for a couple days

[gentle hamlet]

having to visit those textbook pirate sites and it's a different one each time because the fbi keeps taking them down

[cerulean meadow]

you can still access all of them on tor

pro tip

[fervent shadow]

but like they only care for certai movies for some reason. pirating games or anything else they are totally fine with

[lusty mesa]

i download a lot of music

like tons

so i was worried ab that coming here

[cerulean meadow]

i dont think its certain movies, you just get unlucky sometimes because the isps seed a ton of random things to catch u

[fervent shadow]

the thing is it was always a marvel movie nothing else

so idk

[gentle hamlet]

me pirating on school networks bc the isp can't shut the whole school down

[cerulean meadow]

literally the smartest person

[fervent shadow]

and school wifi is pretty fast sometimes

[gentle hamlet]

i'm gonna be honest i use tor a bunch at school and it's super funny because i could be buying guns or illegal drugs or but i actually use the service to access reddit and cool math games

[fervent shadow]

lol

[gentle hamlet]

it's a complete bypass to school filters

[fervent shadow]

tbh if I saw someone with tor, I would 100% think they are doing something sketchy

[cerulean meadow]

^

[gentle hamlet]

it wasn't tor

i used the built in tor feature of brave browser

[lusty mesa]

bro has already sold my identity and life story on the dark web

[gentle hamlet]

that's funny but ucsd is so big i could not find you if i tried

[cerulean meadow]

this may be wacky but ngl i wanna go to a good university

[plush flower]

5'6 asian male

I got you

[lusty mesa]

so common

my name is also

Kevin Nguyen

[plush flower]

huh

[lusty mesa]

ok

clearly u missed the joke

the most common asian name is

Kevin Nguyen

[plush flower]

stg

never knew a kevin nguyen

[lusty mesa]

ucsd in the streets

sdsu in the sheets

[plush flower]

UCSD ERC

bro made that his gamer tag

????

[lusty mesa]

lmao what

[lusty mesa]

I HATE MMWWWW

FMLLL

[cerulean meadow]

What’s mw

[lusty mesa]

stupid ass writing history sequence im forced to take

the very reason why i dont recommend erc

[cerulean meadow]

Oof, can you skip it with any AP credit

[lusty mesa]

nope

u need to take writing

at like all the UCs

AP Lang/Lit can only waive u from the AWP/ELWR req

[cerulean meadow]

That is a bruh moment

[lusty mesa]

but AP creds can waive u from pretty much everything else

to the point where ur coming in with sophomore or junior status

[plush flower]

how much did u wave

[lusty mesa]

Close to none

My school offered AP classes but not the tests

So I only had 9 units coming in

[plush flower]

lemme check how much i can wave

[lusty mesa]

And that was only bc I took 2 CC classes

[plush flower]

https://catalog.ucsd.edu/_files/advanced-placement-credit-chart.pdf

what

where is it

[lusty mesa]

Yes that

[plush flower]

ok im gonna assume i get to 6th or 7th

wait im so confused

does number of credits matter

or does GE matter

do I look at specific college or course exemption

or number of credits given

i am stupid

i just know i have 10 ap exams that are all 3+

oh wait

[lusty mesa]

Just look at the left hand bar

[plush flower]

by end of senior

oh i c

[lusty mesa]

That shows which classes yield however many credits

The other bars just show the GEs

[plush flower]

i thought number of credits literally did not matter

[lusty mesa]

It actually does

U need 180 units to graduate

Depending on how many u have

[plush flower]

but if im gonna take like fuckin 4 classes a quarter til senior

[lusty mesa]

U might have a higher status

[plush flower]

i dont see how it matters

oh

[lusty mesa]

U can graduate early

Bc u won’t need to take electives

Or u wipe GEs

Bc if ur AP doesn’t cover a GE, it’ll count as an elective Cree

[plush flower]

i count 44

[lusty mesa]

Credit

Nice

[plush flower]

but liek

[lusty mesa]

So you basically have sophomore status

[plush flower]

is there any benefit to that

[lusty mesa]

Ofc

[plush flower]

can I get class prio or smt

[lusty mesa]

Early enrollment time

[plush flower]

OH SHIT

LFG

[lusty mesa]

At all UCs

[plush flower]

lmao

[lusty mesa]

It’s a hierarchy

[plush flower]

nah i am not sophomore wym

"basically"

[lusty mesa]

After ur first semester here, u will be

[plush flower]

did u have trouble getting classes

[lusty mesa]

Not really

Well I wasn’t taking anything super competitive

Like if u want CSE11

That shit fills up immediately

Vs natural disasters

Filled up relatively slowly

[plush flower]

fuck cs majors

go die in ahole

[lusty mesa]

What’s ur major

[plush flower]

uh

cs

OK

OK

I CAN EXPLAIN

[plush flower]

as in applied or like

general major

[lusty mesa]

U already said cs

[plush flower]

uhhh

generally was thinking stats or physics but I put cs so I could have course prio to like the intro cs courses

well not intro

but like

i wanna take some upper div shit

but I know thats gonna be impossible without cs as a mjor

[lusty mesa]

U can always minor in CS

[plush flower]

i thought minor gives like no prio

[lusty mesa]

Idk the deets

[zealous coral]

ucsd doesnt accept freshman igetc 😩

[plush flower]

https://catalog.ucsd.edu/courses/CSE.html

so u basically cant take upper div cs without cs or ds major

[lusty mesa]

U could also do cogs

I might take cogs design

[plush flower]

they dont take cogs I dont think

[lusty mesa]

U wanna transfer?

[zealous coral]

nah im an incoming freshman

withj an igetc completed

[lusty mesa]

NOOOOOOO

The kid fumbled the $25K shot SOOOOO BADDDD NOOOOO

[gentle hamlet]

yo benz do you hear those damn noises

[lusty mesa]

its just the figher jets or choppers

[gentle hamlet]

[lusty mesa]

[gentle hamlet]

wtf why is the link so ling

[heady rune]

BRUH

[uncut stratus]

i used to live in a small arizona town of around 45k ppl

imagine if everyone there applied and got 2 rejection letters

it’s wild to think that colleges now reject literal towns/small cities of ppl

[potent raptor]

as much as I hate to say it

greater access is to blame

give huge population of students immense tools and ways to become all insanely smart and OP as an applicant?

they'll flood every colleges admissions office and created massively inflated standards

solution is obv not limiting that though but just creating more campuses and capacity at current campuses

but declining enrollment makes that less feasible

[weak current]

Did anyone get a mid year request from UCSD?

[random pagoda]

Not by email as far as ik!

[heady rune]

THEY DO MIDYEAR REQUESTS?

[merry nebula]

what is a mid year request?

oh nevermind

no i did not get any request

[heady rune]

@lusty mesa how is ucsd's target out of curiosity 🙇‍♂️

[lusty mesa]

its nice

its decently sized

[heady rune]

yasssss

[lusty mesa]

[heady rune]

usc's target wishes

[lusty mesa]

[heady rune]

[lusty mesa]

yuhhhh

[heady rune]

omg thats so convenient

[lusty mesa]

and hella junk food

[heady rune]

cant believe ucsd acceptance rate is 23%

thats just ridiculous

[lusty mesa]

ik why

its bc they cherrypicked off the waitlists

[heady rune]

i won't be surprised if this year it goes down to something like 18%

like dayummmmmmmmm

[lusty mesa]

fr

i was waitlisted

[heady rune]

ohh

where'd you apply actually if u don't mind me asking

[lusty mesa]

[heady rune]

[lusty mesa]

[heady rune]

damn....

[gentle hamlet]

[heady rune]

BYE

[lusty mesa]

[heady rune]

ucd being lower than 40% now

its ova

[heady rune]

[lusty mesa]

[heady rune]

6 rejections are on their way

[gentle hamlet]

at the same time benz your school was legit brand new

[heady rune]

It says “we are reaching out to all fall 2023 applicants to share information on the resources available at UC San Diego”

[fervent shadow]

just got to make sure

why dont they send this stuff after acceptance

I dont even live close to california

[uncut stratus]

gotta love how they’re sending this stuff after you apply

like yes, people who wrote four piqs totally didn’t give a shit about your campus and did zero research regarding you guys /s

i get that it’s probably to increase retention rates by convincing you to join them instead of the other UCs, but still

[gentle hamlet]

well ucsd has already achieved that for me

i would commit over every other campus save maybe ucla

[slender pulsar]

It’s a survey I got from ucsd

[hushed latch]

its a heart attack UCSD gave me before realising its another random mail

[merry nebula]

how come i didn’t get it

is it the survey that u get at the beginning after u applied?

[hushed latch]

i got it like yesterday

[merry nebula]

da fuck

i didn’t get it

[hushed latch]

this one

[merry nebula]

does that mean they’re rejecting me

oh

[hushed latch]

yeah nah

[merry nebula]

it’s that thing

[hushed latch]

yeah that one

[merry nebula]

i did it thru my portal

[lusty mesa]

Fill it out

[merry nebula]

when i first applied

😭

[lusty mesa]

Important

[merry nebula]

is it the same one?

😭

is it?

[hushed latch]

is this true ?

[hushed latch]

this one(theres more below)

[merry nebula]

ok phew

[lusty mesa]

Click all of em

Except the event ones

U wanna show them you’ve been all in from day 1!

[hushed latch]

do they really go through these ?

[lusty mesa]

YES

no shit

[hushed latch]

i thought its just for statistics and stuff for them

[lusty mesa]

Fuck bro

U must not want to get in

[hushed latch]

lmao

i mean these things are true

id not like to lie on my app tbh

[lusty mesa]

This isn’t ur app

This is a survey

[hushed latch]

and they put it in your app

to check it out

[lusty mesa]

Maybe

[hushed latch]

im guessing

anyway im not worried about a survey ruining my chance for admission

if it does, well then it wasn't meant to be

[outer thorn]

why does it matter anyways lol

[lusty mesa]

It does matter, and it is true

[gentle hamlet]

wtf where did my alt major go

[wet flower]

maybe u got in for ur primary major so they aint considerin u for alt 😳

just kidding

idk actually

still shows mine

[gentle hamlet]

i looked on college confidential and the general consensus is that it's a glitch that can happen if you use the major change form

something i've never done

i ain't no astrologer but it seems a little sus

yeah idk ucsd doesn't admit by major so i'm not worrying about it

[lusty mesa]

Doxxed

[gentle hamlet]

probably should delete

just curious

[lusty mesa]

Good

Ye but cs is direct admit

Hard capped

[gentle hamlet]

agreed, it's pretty nonsensical to believe i got in

for that major

but my alt just isn't listed? hello? i'm ok to study applied math too

[lusty mesa]

Actually I think there was this same glitch last year

Something similar happened

Didn’t happen to me, but a few other ppl

[gentle hamlet]

what happened to them

[lusty mesa]

It was just a glitch. Someone emailed the admissions office and they fixed it

Idk ucsd j needs to get their shit together

[gentle hamlet]

it's the timing that made me think it was sus tbh

by now ucsd is done determining who they wanna let in and are probably evaluating people for majors rn

[lusty mesa]

Maybe u can go email them and earn some brownie points

[gentle hamlet]

no, too scared

[vapid aspen]

Ucs don’t consider second major unless both are in the college of engineering

Or the second one is in the college of engineering

[gentle hamlet]

ucsd will, if there is not enough space in first choice major

[torn ferry]

that's so strange o.O

if it means anything my alternate was speculative design

and i submitted my slideroom portfolio

[lusty mesa]

Oh vis

[torn ferry]

YESH

[dreamy lark]

[gentle hamlet]

[lusty mesa]

on a separate note

my roomate spilled his corona all over the floor

so the whole room smells like beer lmao

[uncut stratus]

@lusty mesa hailed in sd for you? heard that from a friend who was camping over there

[lusty mesa]

briefly

it hailed a lot more in LA

[uncut stratus]

dafuq

that’s weird to think about

[lusty mesa]

yea

[uncut stratus]

considering i’m a new californian

hailing in cali seems like an oxymoron lol

i was in santa ana yesterday, and my friends started going on about how it was hailing (it wasn’t lmao)

[lusty mesa]

My boss put this on his stories

Kinda insane ngl

Wish I was there to experience it

[uncut stratus]

wild

[lusty mesa]

It didn’t hail that much in SD, at least at ucsd

[uncut stratus]

ah gotcha

i guess OC wasn’t rlly hit that hard yesterday

[lusty mesa]

guess not

[uncut stratus]

we had mild rain but other than that nothing

weird how it skipped over

[lusty mesa]

interesting

i heard there was flooding

bc of all the rain

[lusty mesa]

woaaa

should i apply to work at faze clan

faze clan san diego lmao

[gentle plover]

y not

but looks full time

[lusty mesa]

its actually somewhat manageable

idk maybe

my resume hasnt changed since sophomore year

[wet flower]

wait when are decisions

[gentle hamlet]

in 3 weeks :)

[lusty mesa]

@ucsd clapped

[glacial flicker]

we find out what college we get accepted into with the notification if accepted right?

[lusty mesa]

Correct

It’ll be in the first sentence of ur letter

[molten wharf]

"Congratulations!"

"This is in regard to your application to..." or "I am very sorry..." or "I am sorry to inform you that..."

[lusty mesa]

I’ve seen both of those haha

Sucks

[wet flower]

Oh 17th?

Aight

[molten wharf]

no video or "Congratulations!" when you open the letter? rejected or waitlisted lol

[lusty mesa]

Nope

[gentle hamlet]

idk there might be confetti

[lusty mesa]

They lame like that

[wet flower]

Imagine ur heart racing as you start reading the letter

[lusty mesa]

UCI has anteater confetti

[wet flower]

Confetti makes it so much easier

[lusty mesa]

Bruh

[gentle hamlet]

this happened with my safety school

[lusty mesa]

I had like no reaction

[gentle hamlet]

if it were up to me when you click the status update i'd just have it say "you're in" over a background of scenes from campus

[lusty mesa]

I was like dam, that’s cool

[gentle hamlet]

save them the tension

[lusty mesa]

Bc just the day before I committed to ucd

Lost that deposit rip

[gentle hamlet]

if i get wl'd imma ride that ship until it sinks

[molten wharf]

ohhh yeah

forgot to repost

[trail violet]

@lusty mesa there is a ucsd costco club?

[lusty mesa]

Yea

[trail violet]

so they go shopping in a club

[lusty mesa]

I think so

They have an instagram

https://instagram.com/ucsdcostcoclub?igshid=NTdlMDg3MTY=

[trail violet]

yeah i saw their comment on ucsd's post

so i was shocked

there is a school club for costco 💀

[glacial flicker]

i would join

[trail violet]

they are popular tho it seems

[glacial flicker]

i love costco

[trail violet]

costco sells too much

i cant eat all of it

[lusty mesa]

Yea I think it’s like a carpool thing

[glacial flicker]

you right but i love the pizza

[lusty mesa]

Did u see their $10 roast sandwich

They just added it to the food court menu

[glacial flicker]

yooo i gotta get it next time

[lusty mesa]

https://external-preview.redd.it/new-food-court-item-roast-beef-sandwich-9-99-lynnwood-wa-v0-B8W8m9arOSbYa8WjkulDJQ3shz5XFZ1RmEuu28PMPuE.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=e7cc63d6a51e8441208dc5928b1da5516b4b0268

Ppl are upset bc it’s so expensive lmao

[trail violet]

is it tho?

[lusty mesa]

For Costco standards, yea

[trail violet]

how much is a pizza

[faint totem]

Is it actually good tho

[lusty mesa]

Whole pizza is $10

[unreal tundra]

i had a 20 dollar burger before

[lusty mesa]

This sandwich is brand new

[unreal tundra]

but it was at a ski resort

so

makes sense

[faint totem]

Just look like a mid, school cafeteria sandwich to me 😂

[lusty mesa]

Disneyland prices ye

[unreal tundra]

it looks way better than school food

[trail violet]

at every costco?

or just sd

[lusty mesa]

I think they are slowly rolling them out

At all locations

Not an Sd exclusive

[unreal tundra]

1.50 hot dog + soda?

that thing is so cheap wtf

i should go to costco more

[lusty mesa]

U need a membership

To buy from the court

[unreal tundra]

my parents have one

i just never go to costco w/ them

[lusty mesa]

Yea the hotdog is world famous

Same with the churros

Chicken bake quality has kinda went down since the pandemic

[unreal tundra]

how does a pepperoni pizza have less cal than a cheese pizza

[lusty mesa]

They aren’t made in house and are now mass produced

[unreal tundra]

i never really eat the costco food court stuff

[lusty mesa]

No clue

[unreal tundra]

lines are too long

[lusty mesa]

Fair

[faint totem]

Their fruit smoothie be slappin tho

[merry nebula]

whattt

i thought they only had the chicken bake

[lusty mesa]

its new

[merry nebula]

and pizzas and normal shit

since when??

[lusty mesa]

few days

theyve had sandwiches before

a turkey provolone

with pesto

that one was pretty good, but they discontinued it

[uncut stratus]

holy shit. if i end up attending, becoming president is my top priority

[lusty mesa]

u could also join the lettuce head club

they eat a ball of lettuce

[uncut stratus]

oh yeah i’ve heard of that

[lusty mesa]

they provide the caesar

[uncut stratus]

isn’t it whoever eats the head the fastest is declared the winner?

[lusty mesa]

interesting way to eat

yeaaaa

[uncut stratus]

and they’re responsible for setting up the next year’s event?

[lusty mesa]

ur the "lettuce head"

[uncut stratus]

lmfao

[lusty mesa]

idk the deets

maybe

[uncut stratus]

wait no

[lusty mesa]

i saw that

[uncut stratus]

i realized how wrong that was immediately after i said it 💀

[lusty mesa]

lmaoooo

its ok

[uncut stratus]

let me rephrase that

i would just eat the lettuce without any condiments

[lusty mesa]

undressed

naw

[uncut stratus]

no caesar, no thousand island, no vinaigrette

i’m the type to eat veggies the way they are

i’m that guy lol

if i attend, eating a head of lettuce as i gaze at the beach sunset is how i wanna go out

[plush grove]

is there a way to check if UCs received our FAFSA?

[gentle hamlet]

enroll and wait for you offer

[lusty mesa]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OErRW-1BAjo&list=LL&index=1

[slender pulsar]

Goofy

[empty fjord]

i got the same email. really got me in the first half with that beginning sentence😭

[unreal tundra]

I predict decisions will be out 3/17

Based on previous years

[lusty mesa]

yuh

[umbral karma]

as a 2023 UCSD Fall applicant, I would love to share information about my student life as a high schooler.

[heady rune]

along w uci & ucla... what a day

[lusty mesa]

Gonna be a rollercoaster

[faint totem]

So Merced 3/3

Davis 3/10

Irvine LA SD 3/17

Cal 3/30

Anyone know SB and cal poly?

[unreal tundra]

calpoly is rolling

[gentle hamlet]

sb i'll bet is somewhere the week before berkeley

[unreal tundra]

sb likely 3/21

[gentle hamlet]

it's a pretty good guess

[gentle hamlet]

also no guarantees we get a triple like that this year

[unreal tundra]

wait does ucla not have a "view status update" button

iirc once u log in ur decision is just in front of you

[faint totem]

Triple heartbreak would be terrible

[gentle hamlet]

i think

when you log in you'll see a "congratulations, you're ucla bound" if you got in

the other 92% of people will see something else

[unreal tundra]

im part of that 92% of people

[heady rune]

this made me laugh

[wheat walrus]

prolly gonna be like UIUC

[unreal tundra]

uiuc has a view update button

[wheat walrus]

oh i see

[lusty mesa]

bruh this TA keeps pronouncing Geisel as GEE SELL

[feral crag]

uiuc didnt for me

[uncut stratus]

i see solely the truth here

/s

[fierce basalt]

uc socially dead

[merry nebula]

does anyone know when ucsd's cmae out last year

[lusty mesa]

March 18th

[unreal tundra]

time?

[lusty mesa]

Afternoon

[unreal tundra]

[lusty mesa]

All

[unreal tundra]

same with ucd?

[lusty mesa]

Yup

[merry nebula]

[unreal tundra]

[merry nebula]

😭

i probably shouldnt have but

whatever, credit is credit

[unreal tundra]

for what

subject

[merry nebula]

chem

💀

[unreal tundra]

thats fine

[merry nebula]

and i applied as bioeng major so it probably fucked up my thing

[unreal tundra]

i just took reg chem

[merry nebula]

i got a 5 on calc though 😥

[unreal tundra]

same

[lusty mesa]

Ur good

[merry nebula]

okok phew

[lusty mesa]

Aps don’t affect admissions

[merry nebula]

tbf it was during the whole covid thing too

[unreal tundra]

wdym

they dont care about ap test scores?

[merry nebula]

and i was abt to literally vomit all over my test on that day cuz i had an awful ass stomach ache and headache

[lusty mesa]

Correct

[merry nebula]

guys always make sure to eat before your exams....

[unreal tundra]

then why do we report them

[merry nebula]

for credit

[lusty mesa]

College credit

UCs are so AP friendly it’s insane

Makes me wish I took tests

[merry nebula]

i am debating on whether or not i should take my gov and csp exam this year

i already paid for it but

[unreal tundra]

u paid right

[merry nebula]

yes

[unreal tundra]

take it

[merry nebula]

😭

but

im too lazy

[unreal tundra]

because fuck collegeboard

make them pay

[merry nebula]

bruh last year i had covid and they were abt to not let me take a makeup

[fervent shadow]

how?

teachers grade the ap tests

[merry nebula]

i legit spammed our ap coordinator with emails until she let me

[unreal tundra]

they pay the teachers

therefore

[merry nebula]

and this was like

[unreal tundra]

if we take them

[fervent shadow]

no they dont

[unreal tundra]

they lose more money

[merry nebula]

in 3 weeks

[unreal tundra]

who does this for free

[merry nebula]

i couldnt make it to the original date bc i had covid but

then they were like omg...

too bad..

no make up for u

and iw asl ike bitch???

[fervent shadow]

idk but I remember its no pay

[merry nebula]

i paid and studied

[unreal tundra]

nah

no way

[merry nebula]

so you better let me in

[unreal tundra]

who wants to grade tests for free

[merry nebula]

its not free

[unreal tundra]

exactly

[fervent shadow]

nvr mind the no pay was for some other thing

[merry nebula]

honestly i am kind of dreading the day decisions come out

bc i really really fucking like winged this

[unreal tundra]

realistically i am hoping for ucsd

[merry nebula]

i only applied to like 5 or 6 schools 💀 all of them probably being out of my league

and

i wrote my essays 2 weeks before they were due

LMFAO

and turned in like my second draft

💅

[fervent shadow]

i wrote my essay 1 hr before it was due

youll be fine

[unreal tundra]

for what uni

[fervent shadow]

pretty much all of them except for cornell and gtech

oh and cmu

[unreal tundra]

their essays were a pain

and my effort was wasted for that

[fervent shadow]

yep they were my worst decisions so far

[unreal tundra]

rd?

or ed

[fervent shadow]

deferred, rejected, rejected

[fierce basalt]

deferred cornell 🫡

[unreal tundra]

cornell defers about 20% i believe

[fervent shadow]

i remember you were one of the ogs in the cornell chat

[fierce basalt]

i don't wanna go to their bum ass school anymore (cope)

i know!

[fervent shadow]

yeah can relate

[unreal tundra]

cmu is the fourth most depressed school in the nation

according to a website

[fierce basalt]

is cornell the first

(me coping)

[unreal tundra]

no

just search most depressed uni in the us

[fierce basalt]

also congrats on uiuc asdf (and you too birb)!

[unreal tundra]

and a list will come

[fierce basalt]

upenn is #1 💀

[fervent shadow]

wow really

nvr wouldve guessed

[fierce basalt]

i don't really know much about upenn so

[fervent shadow]

same

[fierce basalt]

i'd be depressed if i lived in pennsylvania though

[faint totem]

How is it Ap friendly

If you can’t even use AP lang & lit credit for the writing requirements

[lusty mesa]

So many credits get wiped

and every UC forces u to take writing

u can use AP ling/lang to waive the elwr tho

[mint pier]

what about for intl?

i took ap to show that i can handle hard courses

[merry nebula]

CORNYll

[fierce basalt]

cornL

[merry nebula]

[lusty mesa]

HUH

[merry nebula]

wat

[lusty mesa]

who deleted

[merry nebula]

wat

[lusty mesa]

Auto bot?

[merry nebula]

no

[lusty mesa]

I meant AP test scores

Taking AP classes will always show rigor no matter what

[mint pier]

my school doesnt offer ap classes

[stuck drum]

fr i can finish all my ge's in the next 2 quarters

[mint pier]

i took only exam externally

self stuided for 5 APs

[stuck drum]

that works too you get ap credit which waives certain classes

[mint pier]

i gave APs to compensate for slightly low scores in 11th grade and to demonstrate course rigor

cuz u cant do that in our school system

[stuck drum]

hm uc's don't account for AP tests in decisions they look at class rigor

if u do get in though the ap's you passed can count for credit

[gentle hamlet]

don't look at ap's for admissions
ask for them in the application

[plush flower]

can i wave mmw

if i get into erc

[lusty mesa]

you cannot unfortunately

surprisingly enough tho, MMW is one of my strongest grades

LMAO

my last essay was literally me making stuff up on the fly

the content is extremely dry but you can make it work

[plush flower]

did you use the forbidden technology

[lusty mesa]

Absolutely not

[uncut stratus]

benz-gpt is too good 🥶

no need for those lame ass ripoffs

[plush flower]

he forgot the z I think u should correct him

[lusty mesa]

😴

[zealous coral]

Which college are you in again?

[lusty mesa]

Roosevelt

[zealous coral]

Oh yikes what

How did you get to that

I was going to ask about gen eds

But erc is my last lol

[glacial flicker]

what was your top 3 sean

[zealous coral]

Umm

[plush flower]

Oh yikes what
How did you get to that

[zealous coral]

I put sixth Muir and seventh I think

[glacial flicker]

6th so popular

[zealous coral]

Cause the gen eds can clear the most with my dual enrollments

[zealous coral]

Sorry that sounds harsh 😭😭

[glacial flicker]

ahhh makes sense

i putn8th 6th and 7th

i think

[plush flower]

@lusty mesa benz u should be gotr for all UCs

[glacial flicker]

i like that 8th is new

[zealous coral]

Yeah

[gentle hamlet]

he got in off wl

[zealous coral]

I heard it’s really far from the main part of campus tho
