UC Berkeley 🐻 (2022-2023)

[unique ether]

The way you said this… so poetic

It brought a smile to my face

[vale kiln]

😭 im glad

[modern osprey]

im gonan get rejected

[woeful sinew]

shit

im no getting into la and cal ig

[jovial copper]

same

I only got the ucsd one

[unique ether]

Check your spam

Cal and UCLA def sent it to all applicants

They wouldn’t discriminate like that

[night blade]

ikr

[astral fable]

Hi

I didn't get LA

Here for my gf

I don't think it's significant though

[terse quest]

looking wayyyy to far into it

[sour pulsar]

just got an email

[terse quest]

😭

[astral fable]

Did everyone get the email

[snow girder]

Yes, a billion times

[loud rock]

No

I didn’t get it

[terse quest]

i didnt get the LA one but it literally does not matter

[jovial copper]

its not there

[terse quest]

means nothing

[snow girder]

Maybe it takes a few minutes to send

[sour pulsar]

r u international?

[terse quest]

no

[loud rock]

OOS?

[terse quest]

yes

[loud rock]

same

[vale kiln]

theyre just promotional videos with resources and whatnot for waiting for a decision

[terse quest]

yep

[vale kiln]

doesnt matter

[jovial copper]

im oos

[vale kiln]

im intl

[sour pulsar]

but I still dont understand why some got it and others did not

[jovial copper]

clearly a significant amount of peopel didnt get it

[vale kiln]

maybe it was an opt in/out thing

i always opt in on emails

[sour pulsar]

i opt in too

@vale kiln congrats you got in

[vale kiln]

man i better have 😭

i doubt they already finalized decisions tho

[sour pulsar]

they're not gonna waste they're time sending ppl promotions who they already rejected

[snow girder]

Maybe your internet is slow, this happened to people before and they got it like 10 min later

[loud rock]

💀

[terse quest]

you are all delusional

[loud rock]

WHY BERKELEY WHY

[terse quest]

respectfully

[sour pulsar]

its been 2-3 hours

[loud rock]

But isn’t life an illusion

[snow girder]

No I just got it 18 min ago

[sour pulsar]

no for UCLA

[jovial copper]

theres no reason for me to cope I have very fast internet

[loud rock]

I got an email from ucla about exploring campus life

[astral fable]

do people really think those useless promotional emails mean something

[snow girder]

Oh nvm I thought we’re taking about cal cuz this thread

[vale kiln]

yeah i got that one too

portal astrology except emails

[sour pulsar]

hmmm any internationals here

[modern osprey]

doubt that cuz i got one

[vale kiln]

me

[jovial copper]

I only got the ucsd one not la or berk

[sour pulsar]

😭

[astral fable]

Are you guys still looking at those emails

Let it go😭😭😭

[sour pulsar]

i wish i had one

[snow girder]

Me

[astral fable]

They have no significance

[modern osprey]

They don’t mean shit unfortunately

[unique ether]

UCLA is just the guidebook

[modern osprey]

I wish they did 😦

[sour pulsar]

did you get the ucla promotion thing

[astral fable]

i delete those emails once i see they're useless

[sour pulsar]

then explain why i didn't get it

[unique ether]

UCLA spam sends the guidebook

[modern osprey]

prob j bc ur intl

[unique ether]

They’ve sent it to me no less than ten times

[modern osprey]

i’m gonna get rejected as well

i’m a shit applicant

[jovial copper]

im oos and I didnt get it either

[unique ether]

It’s like they know I got into USC and wanna beat USC cross admitmwise

[woeful sinew]

i feel like the mail means smtg idk why

😭

[terse quest]

go for a walk

spend some time in the fresh air

[modern osprey]

it doesn’t

[vale kiln]

i dont want false hope cause i got promo emails

[terse quest]

close the gmail tab

[flint pendant]

oos and I got

check your spam

[sour pulsar]

its ok, i dont need UCLA, i already got into Berkeley

[jovial copper]

not there unless it auto deleted

[unique ether]

Has UCLA been spam sending the guidebook to anyone else?

[snow girder]

Guys stop the email doesn’t mean anything and intls and oos didn’t get it because it’s about touring campus and they prob just assumed we can’t visit

[modern osprey]

I’m not getting in

[vale kiln]

yeah 4 since i submitted

[vale kiln]

im intl and i got it, its not dependent on location

its random

and spam

[sour pulsar]

watch u get in next month

[modern osprey]

PLS Emory rejected me

[flint pendant]

i am oos

but it's probably spam

[modern osprey]

I have a great mentality that every single school is going to reject me

[astral fable]

I have a great mentality that riya and Chloe are getting in

[modern osprey]

Why would UCLA want me

[woeful sinew]

im in state and didnt get in so i doubt

[snow girder]

Ok nvm my theory is defeated

[flint pendant]

I hope so

[modern osprey]

i love u guest 🫶🏾but i’ve lost hope

[sour pulsar]

don't we all

[astral fable]

Is ok you're in my heart too

[robust crown]

Hello, I got offered a CIA advanced interrogation interview today, what does this tell about my admission chances

[terse quest]

i prefer the getting in everywhere i submitted an application mentality

[astral fable]

Nahhh ucs come up clutch ong

[terse quest]

i'd rather only be sad once 🔥

[astral fable]

Waterboard or lsd option

[sour pulsar]

ur gonna get rejected

sorry bud

[modern osprey]

i feel like i keep getting letdown to the point where i’m immune to it

[robust crown]

i hear alumni waterboarding is almost like a guranteed likely

[flint pendant]

maybe I should open all my decisions on april 1 so it hurts way more or way less

[terse quest]

i dont have that kinda self control

[jovial copper]

I dont have the willpower to do that

[vale kiln]

me either i ahve to open it the exact second its out

[snow girder]

The wait would kill me

[astral fable]

I mean isnt paramedic associate to transfer a pretty good option

Sorry I'm biased but

[vale kiln]

id rather dissapoint my parents twice, once for the exposure so the second doesnt hurt as much

[robust crown]

you open decision when it comes. I do portal astrology even before it comes out, we are not the same

[flint pendant]

I'd rather not risk but if i get rejected yeah ill do it

[robust crown]

Princeton rejection gave me enough exposure

[flint pendant]

portal astrology bruh

[astral fable]

Fair but you'll get in lol at least cwru/UCLA imo

[terse quest]

bought a ouija board to ask the spirit realm for my decisions

its like a likely letter

[astral fable]

Don't do portal astrology

[vale kiln]

i cried over my ed1 deferral and felt nothing after my ed2 rejection

exposure works

[flint pendant]

imagine doing all that portal astrology shit and still getting rejected LMAO

[modern osprey]

mood

[lofty elk]

no Berkeley email for me ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️

[flint pendant]

hopefully!!!

[modern osprey]

u got it fs

they sent to all applicants

[lofty elk]

nop

not here anyway

intl I am tho

[jovial copper]

portal astrology is a prestigious field

[astral fable]

Can we talk about something else

[flint pendant]

bruh be fr

[sour pulsar]

maybe...

[lofty elk]

this is real btw

[robust crown]

like the special CIA crimson roon for Harvard interviews ?

[lofty elk]

but when is it visibile

[robust crown]

wait what

[flint pendant]

doubt

[robust crown]

like all portals or just map@berkeley

[sour pulsar]

map@berkeley

[astral fable]

Can we not

Y'all stop trolling or I will get very angry ong

[terse quest]

i dont like the berkeley checklist

it looks so empty

so lonely

[sour pulsar]

thats not ur source code

[flint pendant]

fr

[vale kiln]

is that what it actually looks like

oh

[flint pendant]

my source code tells you to touch grass

[vale kiln]

poof its gone

[sour pulsar]

whats grass?

that is not in my vocabulary for the next 1.5 months

[robust crown]

lol what if interviewer asks what do cows graze on

[robust crown]

this was so funny in my mind, where the laff racts at

tough crowd

[sour pulsar]

lol i just got my first rejection

[woeful sinew]

doesnt work for rd btw

but yea apparently it was a thing

[finite wind]

I only got sd and la. Why did berkeley not send a mail to me 🙄

[woeful sinew]

oh ok they just sent me an email

yea dont stress out guys it doesnt mean shit

[sour pulsar]

have you tried?

do you think they fixed it?

[woeful sinew]

yea, doesnt show up

maybe itll show up near march 30th

[night blade]

me too im so sad !!!!😞

[main plume]

because u fucking got in

[night blade]

birb

i was being sarcastic

did that fly over ur ugly flamingo head

[main plume]

flamingos aren't yellow

[main plume]

no u weren't

dont lie to me u ugly one eyed rat

[night blade]

i have two eyes and 20/20 vision

[warped geode]

what would be the international acceptance rate for ucb

[hexed lance]

wdym

oh

u can google it tbh

[warped geode]

it was 10 percent

but i read something about a court hearing

where they cutting it down by a third

[hexed lance]

oh yea

thats new

i think its effective starting this year?

so theres no new data based on the cut

[warped geode]

fuck my luck

[hexed lance]

youre not missing out on much

[robust crown]

as in ?

[hexed lance]

its a public school

not a ton of resources

admin kinda a mess

[robust crown]

yh ig

[upbeat orbit]

Does anyone know how UC GPA is calculated for specific curriculums?

[snow girder]

UC approved honors/AP/IB +1

Others regular

[zealous ore]

no freshman year

• and - ignored

[upbeat orbit]

I see, but how exactly does this work on a 1-100 scale where no letter grades are assigned?

[zealous ore]

the letters on your transcript are used

[upbeat orbit]

do you mind if I Dm you?

[zealous ore]

there may be no need, you can search uc gpa calculator

but go ahead

[sour pulsar]

is this the same for internationals?

[snow girder]

Yeah if your HS is the us

U can also check if a specific course is UC approved honors on their website

[sour pulsar]

mine is in Canada

[night blade]

is anyone planning to do the ROHP in person ?

[wraith brook]

maybe

im thinking about it

[night blade]

same

[golden quartz]

same

[wraith brook]

early admit?

[golden quartz]

yes!

[wraith brook]

hell yeah brother

[cosmic meteor]

i didnt get in early

which means

i was rejected from bnerkeley

[golden quartz]

u have time

[cosmic meteor]

because ive somehow gone from

thinking i cant get in, to thinking i can get in, to expecting to get in early

this discord has raisaed my expectations for myself

[wraith brook]

i didnt think id get in at all, was planning on UCSB, then right when i was at the lowest of hopes, the email came in

[cosmic meteor]

why were you at lowest ofbuopesn

hopes

and u got in bc u deserved to

there’s no luck people who get in deserve to

and i’ve internalized this idea that i don’t

[wraith brook]

everyone irl told me i had no chance

other indian parents told my parents stories of UC's like Riverside rejecting valedictorians

and to put it simply, the process is kinda stupid

and i messed up in 9th grade

got 8 B's and am in the >25th% of my class (rank 10/35) lol

that's why i didnt apply to MIT or CMU

[wraith brook]

I had no math awards, no usaco, a couple of regional (county) awards, and no real research

[tame sun]

u had some crazy ECs though and id assume banger essay

iirc from ur reddit post

congrats man

[zealous ore]

i have no awards, hoping that uc's are more lenient on that

late congrats on your acceptance

[sour pulsar]

this gives me hope

[wraith brook]

yes

literally

[tame sun]

@wraith brook wait u played chess nationally right? what rating are u btw on chess.com?

[wraith brook]

that's what im saying

[wraith brook]

no

lol

I posted a reddit chanceme after i got in to troll

because i expected ppl to say i had no chance

[tame sun]

ohhhh

[wraith brook]

and pretended like i hadn't gotten in

but i adjusted it after i saw positive messages

hence why the title is annoying and stuff

lemme post it

https://www.reddit.com/r/chanceme/comments/10yedsm/just_another_socal_asian_male_in_cs/

[tame sun]

is this the non troll ver?

[wraith brook]

well

yes

i edited the post

but the title is the same obv

i dont use emojis ever

so

i tried to be as stereotypical chanceme as possible

be warned

[zealous ore]

4.84 uc gpa, ranked 9/35 lmao crazy

[wraith brook]

i fucked up in 9th grade

everyone else at my school doesn't fuck up

[tame sun]

wtf ur EC are quite crazy

[wraith brook]

but few take STEM classes

mostly humanities ppl

[wraith brook]

eh ig

i never saw them as such

until like

now...

because most of this stuff just happened because i wanted to do it

[tame sun]

intern + some research + created ur own app

[wraith brook]

also i see ppl with far better on chanceme get rejected

[wraith brook]

research is minimal

more assistant than research

tbh

internships were with local nonprofits and stuff

i see others with like microsoft internships and published research

hence why i was like "no chance i get it"

the app is actually legit tho ig

[wraith brook]

but my psychology was probably messed up because of this ^

[tame sun]

what type of app was it

[zealous ore]

i hope to god they look at ec's in context because at my school there's a few kids with internships and even fewer with research but no one's really clamoring to get them

[wraith brook]

think like twitch for a targeted audience with additional features

a live-streaming app

[wraith brook]

(i think they do)

because same

at my school nobody does anything extracurricular

[tame sun]

so u basically made ur own live-streaming app?

[wraith brook]

yes

well

team of 5

i was head of engineering

essentially it boiled down to writing a ton of code. like, a ton.

but i did it because i was passionate about the idea and it was very niche

never went as big

so i didn't think it was that significant

[tame sun]

did the ai bootcamp u went to

was it a recognizable organization

[wraith brook]

nah

not selective at all

honestly, a scam

i mean

i learnt a lot

but they try to then hook others in via like a pyramid scheme thing

[zealous ore]

what do they teach you at ai bootcamps

i'm guessing they do a little math, then some tensorflow coding or whatever

[wraith brook]

KNN's, CNN's, GAN's, deep neural networks, google colab

a lot of math

but like, you are handheld through it all

[tame sun]

out of 10 what was the experience and value out of it?

[wraith brook]

experience: 6.5/10 value: 2.5/10

6.5 because my mentor was great and i learnt a lot but everyone else didn't want to be there vibes and i had to hard carry the final project + then they try to turn you into a marketing agent for them

value low because it was not worth $600 or so

[tame sun]

wait u have 50k subs on yt?

[wraith brook]

nah i co-hosted on channels with it

[tame sun]

is it still active

[wraith brook]

i worked with call-in shows on youtube

[wraith brook]

nah

[wraith brook]

i hosted a few episodes on the channel + edited videos for em (all paid work, but not very much lol)

[tame sun]

what type of content

[wraith brook]

live streaming

im being vague because it might leak personal info

[tame sun]

gaming related?

[wraith brook]

nah

but im not gonna reveal more

[tame sun]

k

[zealous ore]

good, because mine are so weak man at least compared to everyone i see in here

[wraith brook]

yeah i felt the same and got here

[zealous ore]

i run an ftc team, i play varsity quiz (now captain but i wasn't when i applied), i spent 70 hours teaching some kids math, some coding projects with 1000 ish users
and that's all

[tame sun]

did u not apply to UCSB, UCI, etc.

[wraith brook]

i applied to all the ucs

[tame sun]

i honestly prob should have

i only applied to the top 5 uCs

[hexed lance]

even merced?

[zealous ore]

with how competitive computing is, any acceptance will surprise me

[wraith brook]

here's my list

[wraith brook]

i think if ur passionate about CS and not the paycheck, you will be fine

[zealous ore]

i do love robotics yeah

[wraith brook]

it'll naturally show in your essays

i bet

and they end up compelling

[tame sun]

were a lot of the CS skill you've gained self taught

[wraith brook]

all of it

started in 7th grade coding discord bots for funsies

[zealous ore]

almost all hobbyist programmers are self taught

[zealous ore]

we'll see, i think i might've done it talking about how i tested a chip for my teacher and started jumping up and down when it worked

the logic being that ao's don't understand technical details but they understand feelings

[wraith brook]

yeah

[tame sun]

but how did you start from scratch. did u just learn a language first and started finding passion projects to do

[wraith brook]

reverse order

i found a passion project

"hey i want to make X"

then tried to build it

learned coding along the way

repeat x100

[tame sun]

did you have to YT a lot?

[wraith brook]

oh

yeah

for sure

i read other people's code on github

learnt proper technique along the way

but what i did won't work for everyone

i was really driven by the project i had in mind

i originally wanted to be a neurosurgeon

but these passion projects completely changed my life (as you can see lol)

[tame sun]

so when u had a passion project did you just see how others made it and try to make it yourself or u used a lot of code on stackoverflow or something

[wraith brook]

all of the above

i consulted documentation, annoyed ppl i knew on discord who knew coding (discord.js discord server lol)

yt, stackoverflow

learnt from code on github

redid my bot like 5 times as i learnt new techniques and languages

then started doing stuff off of discord

like websites

then i learnt about backend servers to make cooler websites

that evolved to my livestreaming app after making friends with other coders

that evolved to more crazy projects

which evolved to my current wip startup

6-7yr journey

got really really stupid good at coding along the way

[tame sun]

thats cracked that you can learn to code off of github

[wraith brook]

i mean that's how i learnt cool techniques and tricks

im like "ooh what does that do?"

[zealous ore]

if you love coding you'll know

because it'll be 2 in the morning and you can't pull yourself away from your keyboard

[wraith brook]

that was me

my parents had to beg for me to eat dinner when i was debugging

i lost track of time and lost a lot of sleep

i have tendonitis in my wrist from this coding frenzy that lasted 6-7yrs

i can't write with a pencil for >2hrs at a time

[wraith brook]

i have to wear a wrist brace when i do one of these sessions now

[tame sun]

was ur first passion project a difficult one or a pretty easy one to figure out after reading up on guides

[wraith brook]

it started as an easy one

make a discord bot that automatically bans anyone who says personal information/engages in doxing

then it got bigger and bigger in scope as i saw what discord bots could do

i slowly turned it into a bot that allows for multi-server management by creating "communities"

a cluster of servers

[tame sun]

do u recommend to start easy otherwise it's going to be a mess

[wraith brook]

start reasonable

but ambition yields greater results

[tired pond]

Just start tbh

[wraith brook]

shoot for the stars

worst case scenario

you're on the moon

[jovial copper]

youll know very quickly if you like cs or not

[wraith brook]

^

i think

CS is too competitive for ppl who don't like it

if you don't like it, don't go for it

my parents were pissed when i told them i was going into cs

they said it was too competitive, and i told them i dont care

it was the only thing i really liked to do lol

[tame sun]

how was summer college courses

[wraith brook]

they were actually really fun

[tame sun]

i know ppl in our school who do it but i feel liek its so expensive

[wraith brook]

but mostly stuff i already knew

wasn't worth the money

but did help my resume / college app

if you can afford it, as in money to kill, it is worth it

the ones at berkeley are cheaper iirc

i took mine at stanford

[dusk mulch]

did u get reagents? @wraith brook

[wraith brook]

yea

well

regents interview

[tame sun]

were ur summer leadership program just whatever

[wraith brook]

nah it was actually pretty good

i mean

i learnt a lot

and it was only $40 (covid so online, so we didnt get to stay at USC dorms)

it's called california youth think tank

highly recommend it

there's an app process + interview

i'd estimate ~50% admission rate

[tame sun]

what do u do

[wraith brook]

https://theyoungcenter.com/california-youth-think-tank/

[tame sun]

and was it a whole summer long

[wraith brook]

leadership, public speaking, some debate

[wraith brook]

1 week

[tame sun]

it isnt cs related right?

[wraith brook]

yea

no cs

it helped me a lot

when i got back to school from it

i was able to use what i learnt to do big things

and make an impact by changing a lot

which turned into a great UC essay on community service

[dusk mulch]

does that mean ur getting in?

[wraith brook]

yes?

i already got in

they tell you outright

[dusk mulch]

oh okay

sorry im not familiar with the process

[wraith brook]

you are in already + schedule an interview for the scholarship

np np

[woeful sinew]

im sorry

[dusk mulch]

how good are you at coding?

I'm just learning because I ended up getting into a major i wasn't expecting

💀

[wraith brook]

i can do leetcode mediums inconsistently

but i can create fullstack webapps in a handful of hours

[dusk mulch]

where did you start?

[wraith brook]

scroll up

a lot

[dusk mulch]

I'm just learning the basic python stuff rn

[wraith brook]

^

[zealous ore]

based

projects > puzzles

[wraith brook]

indeed

that was my philosophy

i focused on making apps

i won hackathons for projects and the ideas i implemented

not usaco

these projects are memorable to AO's imo

i can learn about solving puzzles in college

but i can learn how to ideate and build meaningful projects on my own

[tame sun]

did u ever take a cs courses online/inperson or self study textbooks to learn

or was it all free resources online

[wraith brook]

yes

i took cs courses

at school

i took 2

the teacher is bad

real bad

so i only took 2

i learnt everything online

those cs courses didnt teach me anything new

the 2 i took at stanford at summer college taught me a few things

i liked them a lot

[tame sun]

did u ever study off textbooks or was that not for u in terms of learning style

[wraith brook]

not for me at all

i hate textbooks

i just build

my first code sucked

i didnt know what loops were

i read github projects

learnt a lot from there

anyways

i got stuff to do

good luck dude

[tame sun]

ayy thanks man congrats

[tight hedge]

which ones u take there

[wraith brook]

106b & 193C

[night blade]

be so fr

you haven’t even got ur decision yet

[hexed lance]

not getting in early is not a sign of rejection

[dusk mulch]

true

[sour pulsar]

its a sign that your not the best

but still got a shot

[hexed lance]

possibly

[wraith brook]

most people get in rd

from what i've heard, only the top 7% of the incoming class gets an early acceptance

[tame sun]

man i hope i get in berkeley

[dusk mulch]

I heard 5%

[snow girder]

My school has a >90% yield rate for Berkeley 💀

huge cal simps

[wraith brook]

I mean

In state tuition goes hard

And CoE is one of the best in the world

Hard for me to say no, personally

[finite wind]

Damn

[upbeat orbit]

does anyone have data for rausser cnr acceptance rates?

[cobalt herald]

when will the decision come out?

[snow girder]

MARCH 30TH

[drifting sapphire]

hello berklians

how are all of you

i have come here since NYL rejected me

[humble sparrow]

real

[wraith brook]

Nyl?

[unique ether]

NYU = L take

[wraith brook]

I see

[tall ibex]

Can internationals get regents interview?

[finite wind]

If you've already been admitted

[tall ibex]

Really?

Oh but i didnt ask for fin aid tho

[robust crown]

Yh neither did I if you got in and are in consideration for regents you would have recieved instructions for regents in your offer letter

[tall ibex]

Thats rlly cool

[tall ibex]

Ivy day is at 4pm??

[scenic reef]

7pm Eastern, he's prob west coast

[tall ibex]

Ah yes

[wraith brook]

PST yeah

[zealous ore]

i am not a fan of the numbers from my school

[sour pulsar]

me too

[zealous ore]

0 admits lmfao ouch

[tight hedge]

Where do u find this

[zealous ore]

i linked it in #1051231428429496420

[snow girder]

11% from my school 😢

But yield rate is 96% 😂

[astral fable]

lol my school isn't there

[night blade]

@solar imp

[solar imp]

What the hell do you want

[night blade]

everyone calls me a rat now

ur influence

[solar imp]

Okay and

You are one

[night blade]

it’s cruel

[solar imp]

So I don’t see the problem

[night blade]

it’s untrue

[solar imp]

I’ve been listening to soundtrack for your backseat for the past hour and my brain is no longer functioning correctly

[night blade]

today i was on a walk and i tripped and someone said “hey remy why don’t you just fall on the dirt and eat it”

[solar imp]

rightfully so

[night blade]

listen to some lana del rey

[solar imp]

no

I like this

It’s a very February 20 song

[night blade]

what once was by hers is a very feb 20 song

i listened to it a lot on the way down to LA last feb break

exactly a year ago

[solar imp]

February 20 should be national make fun of your local rat day

[night blade]

no

that’s december 10

[solar imp]

[solar imp]

i did it 😎

tv in black and white is good

[night blade]

ikr

[wraith brook]

I haven't

[real gulch]

has anyone heard from the MET program?

[sudden gulch]

you can be the boss is my favorite i’m suprised you don’t like playing dangerous 😭

[lament fox]

alr came out

[real gulch]

I applied but never got anything

[lament fox]

getting nothing means not getting in

[sour pulsar]

ppl who dont get in can also get deffered to another major

[wraith brook]

I got rejected from MET but got in early in EECS

[wraith brook]

^

[real gulch]

interesting

Still haven’t heard anything so I’m assuming that I got deferred

[lament fox]

is this regents?

[wraith brook]

Well yeah

I mean

this isn't how they tell you that you got regents but

I got in early as a regents candidate but got denied from MET

[wraith brook]

they already released MET decisions iirc

so you probably got rejected from MET unless I am mistaken, but that still means you may get into you engineering major on March 30th

[cobalt herald]

when will the decision come out?

for rd

[hexed lance]

March 30th

confirmed

[wraith brook]

berkeley only has one decision day lol

March 30th

[primal helm]

btw if anyone has any questions about berkeley feel free to dm me! congrats to the ppl that were accepted early :))

[night blade]

you can be the boss is incredible

bruh

[spring rose]

people are so goofy sometimes

[wraith brook]

literally

also for eecs, at least, those stats aren't great

[spring rose]

guys 1450 sat = automatic berkeley acceptance actually . great news!

[wraith brook]

fr

ppl think college admissions are how they were in the past

[astral fable]

march being in a couple days but theres still 30 more days to wait for cal 😭

[sour pulsar]

got email

nice

[zenith lake]

When

[sour pulsar]

10 mins ago

[zenith lake]

Oh lemme check

I did not get the email rip

Would it be possible if you show me what it says in the email

[sour pulsar]

looks like a promotion so its probably not important

[zenith lake]

Oh I see, it's not from admissions tho right?

Since it says "considering applying to UC next fall or beyond"

And I applied to UC for class of 2027 lol

[hexed lance]

Nope

[zenith lake]

👍

[sour pulsar]

i did too, so idk why i got it

[lost jewel]

cringe court tbh

[hexed lance]

PPLS PARK

I’ve heard stories

[tawdry dune]

Yeah I took summer classes at Berkeley and my email would constantly fill up with university reports about shit going down at peoples park

I walked by it a couple times and imo it didn’t look much worse than a regular tent city in the Bay Area

[lost jewel]

yes but shit happens at the park yknow

[hexed lance]

Lkke

[hexed lance]

Oh wow

Shit does go down

[lost jewel]

ive gotten 117 warnme emails

💀

mostly just buglary and mugging tho

and the occasional assault and battery

[lost jewel]

anyways at least you guys still get emails from the UCs about admissions, everytime berkeley sends an email to my personal email they're asking me for money 💀

[hexed lance]

This is literally everything from the year so far

[lost jewel]

i would think this cringe ass yeehaw university already has enough money and wouldnt have to ask me for money 💀

[hexed lance]

Oh wow 6Bs

[lost jewel]

imagine raising 6b in <3 years

like holy shit

that is so much money

[hexed lance]

That’s insane

I thought ucsds pot was huge with 2B

Makes sense tho

[lost jewel]

reminder that we are all poor compared to the private schools (we should nationalize them)

[ancient heath]

Ong

Tax the rich fr fr

[lost jewel]

are you part of the rich

[ancient heath]

Not in America lol

[last otter]

can we still send updates regarding awards/ecs to berkeley?

[ionic junco]

no

[unique ether]

Communism in its finest hour

[tall wadi]

No UCs allow you do do that

[last otter]

[tired mica]

Ucsd does

I know berkely and la say that you cannot send updates

[last otter]

* 10^10

[late shard]

Does anyone know where I can find the EECS acceptance rate and other stats?

[hexed lance]

ive pinned them

[late shard]

Ty

L&S CS should be way higher this year though

Since it's direct admit

[sour pulsar]

bruh only 166 ppl got into CS this year

[dusk mulch]

why would it be higher if it's direct admit

Actually, I get the thought process but they're also cutting class sizes

so it's shit

[worldly lantern]

are there any stats for international acceptance rates or is this just every single student instate, oos, and intl

[hexed lance]

I don’t think they specify

[wraith brook]

finished my regents interview today
