We’re all winning today
are admissions waves rolling?
Yesss
we can adapt to anything doesn't mean we should have to,
i disagree so L
It’s only for excellent students or smth
only place ucla beats cal for is on food and if youre a sweaty premed
mf yilong ma tryna disagree w me
oh really congrats!
Thank you!
yilong ma is spitting facts
a brit tryna tell me he knows more abt my state school than me 🤨
tbf that brit got accepted and i haven't yet
but
i get that there's more to life than names blah blah blah
did anyone get into cs/eecs :0 (other than met)
no life is literally j names
but honestly that's all i care about and the fact is most int'l students think cal is more prestige than ucla
who wouldn't want to flex they went to a prestigious school
yk its true
Well I guess it depends what you’re looking for
drugs
most intl students think cal more prestige anyway
yeah more people ik outside of us know of ucla than berkeley
cap
I was born in a UCLA hospital
because they don't need to
not a Cal hospital
Berkeley absolutely self-markets haha
the name carries itself
im literally explaining why they're behind
they need to bc ppl in Cali don't even know ur supposed to call Berkeley Call
ppl literally shit on me for calling it Cal
and are like u gotta call it berkeley or ucb
who cares what the nickname for the school is most people know the name
berkeley
I mean
💀 morons that somehow made the 5th biggest economy but ight
Our “economy” is carried by tech bros
actually i meant los angeles specifically
LA bro i went once and i will never be the same again
Cal is literally used exclusively by the athletics department
that place was a real life garry's mod server
mf prolly went to skid row
I mean LA the city kind of sucks
it does
LA is a shithole fr
wait is uc berkely only releasing eecs decisions rn?
the cities within the county that arent LA are fye tho
bro i went to rodeo drive and there were bums shitting in the middle of the road
UCLA is lucky to be in such a nice area
RODEO????
its MET/Regents and Chancellors
ohhh
ur hallucinating
Just anyone that they thought are really good
Rodeo
on a tuesday 2pm
westwood 🤮
thats such a random time
okay elon we're gonna fight now
but also is it rolling in waves?
i love westwood
man i saw a homeless guy take a shit outside of a prada store
I mean
Rodeo Drive isn’t as exclusive as it seems
Normal ppl pass there all the time
im just saying this is how i view LA from my international perspective
Homeless people as well
maybe its different as a local
BH is the most surveilled city tho
it is
Yes we have a very large police force
j like how we view London are just south London and streetmen
Every eighth guy is a police officer
London is a gta server as well
yall are literally the classist dystopia
central london specifically
where the rich mfs try to keep all the non-rich mfs out
I view London as the Canary Wharf/Stratford area
nah u gotta open ur eyes
We have no fast food joints because they “bring the wrong crowd”
case and point
Those are the only places I visit when I go to London
and yall got two SM blvds
that pissed me off
"here's local access and thru traffic so u can gtfo"
Yes
Yeah pretty much
btw the thru traffic road is literally walled off so u have no escape
idk about la but at least public infrastructure in london is nice
congrats
why are so many people in i havent heard a single reject yet
Yay welcome hopefully I'll see u on campus
EECS
they only reject in march
@obtuse drum update us on that strawpoll u were doing
one personr esponded only
guys please fill out
bruh where's L&S
other
u gotta be more specific gang
gang other means anyth not eng and m&T
Put it in the Reddit thread
well pluto i know you
u do?
yeah now i do
so you're credible in my eyes gang even if reddit dont got u
rb got you.
yo im deadass thinking about withdrawing from my ed2
uc's are making me sick 
because of this letter
whats ur ed2 school
nyu
deadass give me all you rpersonal information
and i will get myself a fake british passport
and go to cal
well yes
for some reason i feel like i have no hope even for march now
same ngl
cal
cal imo
probably cal
plus sm better campus
UCB
NYU is not prestigious
unless it was nyu stern which i didnt apply to
like at all
Stop calling it cal
yeah then in that case berkeley fs
okay well im fucked because my decision comes out in 5 days and i am damn sure they will accept me
both?
i didnt think i was going to get into cal
can i still do that
oh bruh i thought u got into nyu already
WITHDRAW IT
^^^
UCB >>>> NYU
frfr
so regents + MET got admission today, wb like rejection notifs from MET idk how regents works
im actually gonna be depressed if berkeley rejects or waitlists me
and did all MEt come out or just some
this
im not even MET im just asking for a friend 😭me bio major
my top uc 
nah its my dream school thats what i mean lol my expectations are so low that i applied to 10 safeties 😭
ucsd is too southern california for me
That’s smart
then got into 2 har dtargets
Which targets
then my parents tell me yo g we actually cant afford none of this
i agree, after all I got into UCB but not into UCSD. Must speak to the quality of the institutions.
UMD and Wisco
Nice
Ucsd is kinda a mess too ngl
congrats everyone that got in!
idk why i'm worried most normal people got their acceptances in march
#IGNORANCEISBLISS
omg slay
gl on cal
me when cal cucks me
so about 1k kids get in early w half of them having a shot at scholarships
idk just a letter of acceptance
are MET just worked into the total
im not on a scholarship or foinancial aid or anything
i read somewhere its not even 1k its like 10-20% of all acceptances so lets hope its fake
its 100% not
regents is top 2% of applicants
yeah 20% seems way too big
MET is 50 people
idk what the hell regents is but at this point it sounds like a scholarship so im gonna assume thats what it is
its a full ride
damn
Surprised that they let you withdraw this close to a decision
wait 950 is a lot
Good on you
i feel like we'd know if 950 came out
it was last year's numbers
remember how crazy umass decisions were for 3000
they were literally going to take me which was the scary part because i had a call with the dean of admissions and they were like okay cool im gonna look at this
even clocking that down 60%
and only half of those 950 are scholarship
so
welp wtv
we'd know if that many people got in
im kinda glad
it doesn't feel like it
will come back march 30th
i withdrew
LOLL
my dad wants me to discuss the possibility of cal vs georgetown
You’re Intl right?
if i get into gtown
what's your major?
yes
I wouldn’t worry too much abt it
i picked different things i think
for cal and for gtown
general area similar or nah?
NYU might say “no, you can’t withdraw” this late
If so just ignore them and go to Cal
i think gtown might have been finance
Haas is one of the top schools from what i know
Cal Econ is #1 I believe
with a 2nd choice major in data science
okay good
so i made the right decision
and i dont have to twist my balls about withdrawing
because NYU is also a pretty good school
keep twistin
NYU is generally not worth the price that it charges most admits
me when taking another L
ucb pls let me in eecs pls pls
when are met rejections coming out
me when i realize i made myself depressed for 4 years for literall yno reason
i probably will get an email or some shit
i have to send one to the AO in my area
a letter telling them why i withdrew
(no guys the "you're meant to go where you're meant to go" convo isn't gonna cut it, neither is whether i need to go to the perfect college, I wasted 4 years overworking myself when I could've gone to the same place doing significantly less)
will met give u a accept/reject noti, or just accept those who got in and say nothing to the rest 💀
idk how to politely phrase that your school is not prestigious enough
no im not even met
cant they just give me a rejection
im just asking for a few friends who are
pls
they got interviews i think idk
yo why are people here if they didnt get an email im so confuse
dd
@obtuse drum there wa no question in your poll about interviews btw
u right ill brb in a month and a half 🫡
just helping you out with the data collection
ik bc that's met only
tho i can add
one of my friends robo friends got in met
say UCB offered something better or you reconsidered
management and tech or sum
no right cause its business
yk whats crazy tho
dual degree
i thought it was an engineering college
oh so it is a stem degree
nevermind im not missing out then
AND a stem degree
that sounds loaded
the way even ucla doesn't do early shit like this berkeley we hate you for tormenting us
it is
but for some people like rb it actually helped so
why would i do engineering and come out with a business degree
anyways guys yk what's fuckign crazy
UC OOS admission population is 18%
they admit 18% OOS
is it different for
out of country
lmao
yeah what’s intl rate
might not include intl
idk
at a school system that's failing to supply for their in state residents
like what the fukc
why is it so high
L ur getting another brown boy in silicon valley
im comin for u
rip
shouldve been british
like im not against OOS/INTL enrollment
get them immigrants out of the university 🔥
but there literally is not enough space
nah nah nah
bro i swear intl admit rate is nothing
i know this because in singapore where i used to live
there was a massive online forum for sg to usa
kind of like college confidential
Guys what’s with some Berkeley decisions coming out?
and people would say where they were applying and who got in
i think in singapore alone about 1 or 2 thousand students applied to cal in 2021
and only 7 people got letters back
in singapore alone
and 4 of them were the school i used to go to
i have a problem lowkey im watching uc decision reaction videos on yt just to see the dates most of them got accepted to berkeley
low and behold its like march 25 or smt
That’s not that bad
that's pretty bad lol, UT is capped at 10% so instaters have a solid chance
That’s a lowered number it used to be like a quarter
i know
UT is too low tbh
the fact it was higher is crazy to me
UT is like the lowest I know of
you can decline to go to NYU on grounds of cost
California is a very global state
not if they match NPC
Does regents j send u an email if ur in
Just ignore NYU
renegading on an ED agreement is a no no
True, a no-no to the Uni
whelp we just found out the stanford admit rate last year is 3.9%
(my biggest takeaway from the slide)
That’s a big takeaway
given that stanford doesnt publish their admit rate
its a pretty good thing to know
Yeah true
I forgot about that actually
Yeah I should expand on what I said before
Instaters do actually have a solid chance at top UCs
anyone hear anything from berkeley for regents
Californian students have this weird exceptionalism thing where they believe they’re failures if they don’t get into UCLA
no we dont
at least CS majors dont
but us non stem majors do 
nah most of yall dont either
anything management/fin leaning is gone
humanities and psych are the only ones saf
i read ur message wrong but bruh
id like to think it was a complete fluke
still true
CS majors don’t have a good shot at anywhere good
what if you wanted to do L&S CS but John DeNero of EECS said:
You’re in the most competitive major
why could i not be good at smt else
why does this have to be my pat
They admitted a lot less people
what was the total pool
they are slashing the L&S CS degrees
Do another heavily technical major and go work in SWE after
If you’re good it won’t be too difficult
i was gonna do data science i dont think im cracked enough for swe
cmon man
A CS major isn’t needed for SWE
wait met acceptance's already out?
idr know the aim i wanna go for yet
thought they were usually on friday
im leaning management long term obv
did everyone on met get one of those regents
but like rn idk if i wanna do SWE or soome other aspect
or just a letter
do yall think berkeley will consider second major choice much
probably not
the way their acceptance rate will be 9% this year probably
oh?
so for all we know it could maintain or rise ever so slightly since the admit pool will be the same size
any cs acceptances out already? like non-met
i got engineering undeclared
in state or oos?
they sent it out?
in state
I thought regents comes out tmrw
Did u get it in an email?
btw for anyone still holding out
Berk traditionally released early admits at 5:30 pst
so MAYBE
insanely small chance
0.0000000000000000000000000000000001%
we see smt in 7 minutes
historically they've never released on a thursday
historically they've done it on a friday?
oh wait i don't think i got regents
yea
We’re getting too historical
i got this thing called SEED
bro got the nut scholarship
A CS undergrad degree isn’t really needed for a lot of things
guys i think its time
oh ik but the flexibility it gives, gives me a lot of room to work w
Congratulations!!!!!🎉🎊🍾🎈
The “flexibility” thing is a meme to be honest
then theres a chance for another wave to be tomorrow? (this is me being delusional)
anything could happen
here's the delusional decision release timeline:
Today at 5:30 PST
Tomorrow at 3:30 PST
Tomorrow at 5:30 PST
rip
tysm !
check at these points
Like most CS jobs can be gotten with knowledge from like 3-4 classes
when one of these actually come true
They are coming out at 1pm PST tomorrow
source: it was revealed to me in a dream
hope so
oh no 100%
but there's this crazy field called finance
where mfs care about letters on a paper
If you’re interested in finance major in what you want
bc they have no knowledge of what skills are
Just go to a good school
quant
true
tbh if ur a computer scientist who also understands finance and numbers you can pretty much walk into any job
If you’re interested in quant major in math/stats/physics
They’re looking for quick thinking and mathematical maturity in quant
provided u dont bomb the interview or fail all the interview questions
wait wait wait
i'm so glad ucla doesn't do early acceptances like this bc it's literally torture
people got decisions already??
mufucka stop creating my gap year backup plans
yea
wtf
Yeah
:/
i think its everyone at once
thats what the delusional people who didnt get their letters are saying but i dont know
It’s not a backup plan really it’s the best plan for a quant hopeful
oh no ik

how much do u guys think this early system affects chances for regular ppl
literally doesnt
surely it can’t be that devastating
apparently only 1k get accepted
quant firms are prestige whory
i didnt even konw they did early
so 10k+ still get accepted in march
i didnt apply early though
14k
early?
probably better off at an ivy if u want to do quant
minuscule effect LOL
why the hell was i selected for this early cycle
fuck ivies
was it because of the college i applied to
5 of my friends have gotten in from my school
They can’t see that
does cal analyze how many they accept from each school and cap it or no
B/c you’re amazing
santa monica college is my home
no way we have a fellow smc lover
way better than lacc for dual enrollment
i mean i applied to every other uc as well
Not to the level that they miss geniuses from state schools
not ready for spring to start nxt wk
In quant you want to be incredibly good at the subjects needed
schizo time 1 didnt work @astral fable
@obtuse drum can you confirm from your form that this is true
huh 
Did anyone else get the SEED scholarship thing
Kind of for me
literally no one has been doing it
bro
pretty campus
No no one else nutted
You have $400k biz?
yea
The way this turned into a joke☠
mine's only $300k rip
I made $150k a year for the last two years
People who are admitted early: did u get a letter of recommendation request?
kinda happy that i didn't ea to usc because that deferral wouldve killed me
I would prefer to go to a CC up north I hate this fucking place
where did u get in?
that $400k was one month
huh
The deferral certainly killed me
i j only did one drop
WHAT THE
i think that just means u didnt submit an LOR
i got a status update email but i opened it in the portal
my friend that got accepted today did get it
nowhere i can afford atm
you made $00k in one month?
reject ed
$430k revenue in 30 days
you make $400k a month
That should pay for college?
$43k to me
half a semester
keycaps
i think the online business that i set up had something to do with my admission
there was no way they would have selected me otherwise that was literally my biggest selling point
uc merced > uc berkeley
Admissions to which college?
You sell drugs?
keecaps
Oh wow
it was mine too
all these ones
@wary plank A RED VELVET LOVER?
M&T decesions came out?
fully ran it from scratch worked w 10 different retailers internationally
Which ones did u get into?
yeah but i only made $30k rev since october last year bruh you've made almost half a million
Also how much revenue
negotiated huge price cuts and profit split gains
:)
you got in tho i didnt
queendom 🎀
obv did smt better than me
frrr
Queendom is nice
irene's era
STOP I’m obsessed
Did M&T come out today?
have you listened to bamboleo
Not yet no
yeah it worked kinda
i told u
for a bit
a delusion that stayed a delusion lowkey
schizo time did not work
almost 10 times
what i made
also how long have you been in business
i started dropshipping in october
i did it freshman year
$30k profit or revenue?
i literally applied as a legal studies major and wrote one of my essays about a law firm internship what does berkeley want
my operating costs were super low so my net margin was like 29k
you have a 96% profit margin?
yes
i charged an obscene amount for those lamps compared to what i was sourcing them for
very perstigious college of UC
oh i didnt realise that was what bro was asking
I should’ve known that I should’ve dropshipped to get into a good Uni
@hybrid nexus L&S
Which uni did u get inot?
Wait and where do u see if u got into M&T?
babson deferred cornell rejected
usc deferred
berk accept
santa clara accept
thats what i have so far
if I got accepted I would have been emailed?
GUYS I GOT INTO UC BERKELEY AND ITS DUAL DEGREE PROGRAM W SCIENCES PO 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
WWWW
W
go bears and eff my ap french exam
Did anyone here get in M&T?
Sorry MET i meant
most people got in for the environmental sciences college i think
when is Haas coming out
i think one dude got in for MET and me and some other dude got in for L&S
nothing has come out after 3:23 right
what are they rolling out admissions
you're so blunt
wtf does rolling out admissions mean bruh
i have the self awareness to admit i can be a bit of a dumbass sometimes
i usually spend my days in a state of confusion
Rolling means it comes out over time
omg got in eecs with a 3.7
WWW
YAY congrats
im jokin im sorry
i will stop answering questions i know nothing about
congrats !
thanks!
did anyone else besides me get in for L&S bruh
Nah I got in for that college too
major?
Atmospheric Sciences
what is L&S
letters and science
i dont know what letters means but
its mostly just sciences
okay google is saying that letters means humanities as well
any oos got in?
Me
oooh congrats!!
Tysm !
Did gmp or undeclared ls come out
Oh wow congrats everyone!
did all met decisions come out?
What?
That’s just the number of unis I applied to
Congrats whend you get the email
did u not apply to other ucs
oh i thought ur 15/15 was u got accepted to all 15 schools
No lol
wait whats going on berkeley is releasing decisions?
its only for highly achieving students
a wave of early decisions
applied 6 uc's and 2 csu's :)
Nice
i'm just a california hopeful, not ivy material
wait how many ucs are there
9
omg??
10 if you count ucsf
why tho, i thought it was rolling in march
today like 6 pm est
waiiit
i applied to 7 ucs and 2 csus then
like there isnt early decision??
no
In any residency
damn didnt get that
maybe they will in the futrue (hopefully)
like usc added ea just this year
i hope ucs will do that too
welp i didnt get an email so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
does not getting this now mean likely auto reject?
ah sorry!
lol its all g
yeah no
Nah I didn’t get in
No, these earlies are only for a very small number of applicants
So dw
do other ucs do earlies
tbh im not good enough for berk to accept me anyway
infinitely proud of my friends who got in but i can’t help but feeling a little disappointed in myself 😞
Me too tbh
you mean the rat who got in
I will just do calc to distract myself from feeling any emotion ❤️
as u should
calc 🙂
same, and i applied for cs💀💀
i applied bio
The rat who got in deserves it because she’s really smart and cool and carries me in human geo
im an auto reject probs
im cool too
u still have cmu
same😂 oh well
if u guys wanna feel better ab urselves ive only gotten into schools w 70%+ acc rate
Do you know what I do to trolls?
I got deferred
at least not a rejection and that article i sent u said they deferred around 150 applicants.
That’s for ppl who defer their applications I think ):
but tyyy and also u got uiuc!!!
are only some decisions out?
Yeah why did they release some so early
did anyone get notified of regents?
I applied EECS I think only some L&S came out?
No
Likelies came out
For very high achieving students
Of any residency and what seems to be any major
One person who got into eecs rn posted in #✨-celebration-station
Only a very small number of people get their decision early like this
The vast majority of ppl will get their decision in march so dw 👍
okay I was worried thanks😭
Np
i applied bioeng and got in! do u guys know how many people berk accepted early?
not likelies. they were acceptances.
Yeah that’s what I meant, thanks for the clarification
how do they determine that tho?
i doubt they have enough time to actually read apps
and i doubt its by stats either
weird
they determine it by looking at trends from previous years
they have a lot of data and im sure they can tell which students are at the top for this year's pool
Wait did anyone get notified of scholarships like regents or chancellors
that means they looked at stats and demographics mostly
and not ecs?
cuz they cant rly collect data of ecs
wait did only regents come out today
^ was todays acceptances just a small wave of early instant-accepts or was it specifically regents?
I thought MET decision and early acceptances is tomorrow
came out early
i think it was all of them
Oh ok so they just don’t tell you anything if you didn’t get in
did all MET acceptances come today?
or only people that are being considered for regents?
beleive so
samee
any intls get in yet?
for the regents' and chancellor's scholarship, do we need to attend the interview in person ?
the letter is confusing bc it says "you must attend an interview at either irvine or berkeley campus" but then says "if you cannot attend any of the scheduled online interviews please email us"
MET is out tmr right?
BLU U GOT INTO BERK!?!??!?!?!
OMG GOOD JOB
TY AHHHHH
i got the email in my lit class and screamed and hugged a random girl next to me 😭
Guys i just joined. I applied MET and didn't hear back today. Is it a rejection from MET?
no sir
has MET ever sent out rejections in Feb or is it just acceptances?
Many people are saying that a rejection from MET is implicit if i didn't get in today
I did get a video interview invite, if that matters
I think it's all of it. I know someone who got MET without Reagents.
Yh I got in for eecs, dk how but yh
^^ help lolz
Does someone mind straight up asking them if they've got more MET decisions to release tom 😭
I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone who got regents and chancellors maybe yesterday was early acceptances without those and today is early acceptances + scholarships? Or were they the same thing?
nobody gets regents now, people just qualify for interviews for regents rn iirc
those who are under consideration get mail early
I think both are same but maybe they do over 2-3 days
because iirc, Berkeley usually releases early wave on 11th feb
I hope but I feel like it’s not gonna happen 😭
It probably just happened earlier this time lmao
Just a day earlier
It adds up
We’re prolly just coping now
😭
who got regents
.
idk what that means in this context because i'm an international student
i don't know how to convert to the US system but thank you very much for your well wishes I appreciate it
Did they release any Early Admission to Haas applicants?
Is gmp today?
i pray to God that they send more MET today
though im high on copium, I already know 2 Indians who got in
Congratulations! Did they send you an email or did you just check results on application portal?
they send emails
hmm did they release results only for the Regents scholarship or others too?
Anyone got the portal link?
do u have to be like hella cracked to get berkley early
Yeah
can u still get into EECS if u didn’t get in early ?
do they not have to review all the apps
to determine who is crazy cracked
or is it some computer algorithm shit

@wraith brook if you don’t mind me asking what were ur stats and ECS ?
That’s pretty much it
In my case it was standout ECs because I play national chess and run a business but for other people they have some seriously cracked essays like you wouldn’t believe
wait u got in?
well at this point, they've probably reviewed a good majority of the apps
RD decisions are coming out in like 50 days
Yea
what major
for sure
I have a really weird profile
small school, no APs, dual enrollements, horrible 9th grade GPA
this goes to show Berkeley truly doesn't care about 9th grade
I did get rejected from M.E.T. tho but ill take eecs + regents interview
For those who got into letters and sciences, did anyone get an email for regents?
- did it specify your major?
what ELO
no, i hear they released all early decisions yesterday
wtf is met
Ok so I assume it’s just a silent rejection 🙁
MET is a hyped up major. In my opinion, EECS has more value.
Imma start writing my appeal letter for when I inevitably get rejected in March
do UCs (or any universities) consider appeal letters?
Wdym isnt it just eecs + business
Its just more value no?
Yes
I sent an appeal just for fun to all the UC's
(that i got rejected from ofc)
they consider appeals, and some of them locis
Did u get an acceptence
I wrote a loci to ucd and got in
Ucsd didn’t consider locis tho since i was on the WL
Nice
Do u only get notified for met if u get in?
nice!
did any appeals work in your favor?
no, MET could be any engineering major + business.. tech companies hiring for engineers would probably prefer to see EECS on resume (vs tech + business)
Very few appeals are actually granted for all of the UCs. It’s really really rare
You gotta have some really compelling new information to add
So none of my appeals panned out
It was expected tho
What are appeal lettesr?
im wondering the same
i applied, and didnt hear back
yo did uc berekley alr let ppl know their decisions
is it like major based or smth
Same
wtf is MET
I think that if you’re rejected for MET they just don’t say anything
the email they sent rn baited me
Not Berkeley scaring me with an email 💀 like yeah I know I’m still under review you didn’t have to give me hope like that
sameee lmao
what is MET
like a major
also does UC berekly consider new updates?
Yeah double major program between business and engineering
No I tried and was denied
fuck
Just got a mail from Berkeley, that my application is still under review
what they say
same here
man i got so excited for a second
i thought i fr got rejected this early on
Ik same
🤓
They said decisions are in march 30 exactly
what UC comes out first?
