UC Berkeley 🐻 (2022-2023)

[fiery falcon]

like what did you look up

[hexed lance]

This is for ucla

We have the link in the pins

[fiery falcon]

thank you

sorry

i'm actually so goofy

i did not think about checking pins

[astral fable]

some hopium for us all

[rich gust]

If i havent been asked for LORs or a mid year update or anything am i fucked?

[astral fable]

LORs are a part of augmented review which is for special, non-merit related circumstances afaik

[rich gust]

So no

[astral fable]

The Augmented Review (AR) process at Berkeley follows Regents Policy 2110 with no more than 15% of freshman applicants reviewed under the policy. Within this process, selected applicants are given the opportunity to submit up to two letters of recommendation to be considered during the reading process. Students invited to submit a letter of recommendation may come from the following populations: first-generation college students, students qualifying for an application fee waiver, and students participating in early academic outreach programs. Those invited to submit a recommendation may submit up to two letters of recommendation

[rich gust]

Oh okay nice

[rich gust]

Oh to be from hawaii

[copper nimbus]

[frank tundra]

wait for ur major u can't just select business administration right

u gotta select one of the pathways

like GMT or MEP

or can u just select business administration?

[upbeat orbit]

for this year only GMT MET and some biz with sciences. From next year you can since they introduced the spiker biz program so 4 year biz degrees.

[frank tundra]

ahh ok thanks!

[frank tundra]

.

[tulip sable]

!chance berkeley

[astral fable]

100% if waitlisted/rejected by ucla

[tulip sable]

???

is that a joke😂

bc i got waitlisted by ucla, but then again i applied for cs for all🗿

[modern osprey]

fr?

[astral fable]

yes it's a joke 😭

[wary plank]

Lol

[steel turret]

It's a joke it's actually around 95%

[tulip sable]

😂😂

[drifting sapphire]

Got rejected irvine and waitlisted LA but I'm definitely getting into Berkeley for sure ‼️

[red dust]

Factual information

[rich gust]

yield protection u got it

[astral fable]

Fr you too cracked

[sour pulsar]

If I got accepted to irvine, waitlisted at santa cruz, and rejected from davis and la, what are my chances of getting into Berkeley?

for cs

[zealous ore]

50/50, you'll either get in or you won't

[rapid oasis]

the only correct answer

[tight hedge]

Jesus 💀

[tame sun]

i rly need to get in

[drifting sapphire]

Ucs are super unpredictable man

[snow girder]

Bruh I really really hope I don’t get waitlisted at Berkeley

For me even a rejection is better than wl so I can commit to Davis in peace

[cosmic meteor]

@wraith brook

u havin that?

[lost jewel]

doesnt get into Berkeley either

[cosmic meteor]

💀💀💀💀

[lost jewel]

mfw L&S CS somehow has a worse acceptance rate than stanford 💀

[cosmic meteor]

LOL

[tall ibex]

Is there.a discord for accepted berkeley students?

[muted hearth]

having a waitlist wouldnt really be much of a prob too cause you'd have to worry about that only in late may/june long after committing to davis

[astral fable]

I’m extremely grateful to have other options but an acceptance at Berkeley would be dream come true.

[unique ether]

😂😂😂

[wraith brook]

Facts + literally me

[wraith brook]

There's one for the entire EE/CS community

[tall ibex]

oh

i'm not EE/CS tho

[robust crown]

hey cud u send the link in dm thanks !

[wraith brook]

sent

[wraith brook]

there is also one for the r/Berkeley subreddit, but that is moreso about the city

once you get your berkeley email, you can link it to discord to get access to the berkeley student hub which will have all the servers related to berkeley

I don't have access to the student hub yet because I have not officially committed yet

[tall ibex]

i have not officially committed as well

[wraith brook]

Yeah so

just keep it in mind

that there will be a student hub once you officially commit

(the student hub is a collection of discord servers, not a server itself)

[tall ibex]

ok

thanks a lot for the info

[wraith brook]

just an example

[tall ibex]

u got into stanford?

[wraith brook]

I did some programs there

[tall ibex]

dang thats cool

[wraith brook]

got rejected rea

[tall ibex]

i got rejected rea too

[wraith brook]

indeed

average berkeley admit

[tall ibex]

now officially a stanford reject

lmao

[wraith brook]

fr fr

[tall ibex]

cant be a stanford reject without the berkeley admit

[wraith brook]

literally

[loud rock]

💀

[serene flax]

What percent of admits get a lor request

Or any additional info

[astral fable]

LOR request only applies to URMs etc

[red dust]

I think up to 15%

But as mentioned above it’s usually due to circumstance

[dim lake]

r u waiting for ivy day or smt

[wraith brook]

i will only commit once im 100% sure

and im basically 99% on berkeley but

I would hate to commit and then see something better (somehow) come in

so

I wait to see all my options first

then ill commit

most likely, it will be berkeley

[tall ibex]

same thought here lmaoo

i would only not go to berkeley if i got into upenn

<as stated on my name>

[wraith brook]

only Harvard for me... but even then

I would have a really hard time choosing between the 2

but no way I get into Harvard so

[tight hedge]

I mean u can always just not go lol

[wraith brook]

but why do that

[tight hedge]

U would lose ur deposit

[wraith brook]

I don't lose anything by waiitng

[tight hedge]

Ya I know

[wraith brook]

I like to only choose once

and I like to stand by my choices

so I'd rather wait

[tall ibex]

ivy day is approaching

[wraith brook]

I don't gain anything by committing early either

[tight hedge]

What schools are you waiting on

[wraith brook]

also waiting to see if i get regents scholarship

[wraith brook]

harvard, cornell, NYU, and like USC, GTech, Umich

[tall ibex]

does everyone who got in early get regents?

[wraith brook]

not everyone

[tall ibex]

bcs i don't get regents

lol

[wraith brook]

oof

I got the interview so

waiting to see if I got the scholarship

[tall ibex]

but i think it's bcs i stated i will be funded by another scholarship

[wraith brook]

also I don't think I'd choose any of these over berkeley

im in-state

[tall ibex]

which i regretted writing

[wraith brook]

so in state tuition is big

[tight hedge]

Cal might be the best from that list for eecs

But good bunch u got there

[tall ibex]

i heard cornell cs is also good?

[tight hedge]

Def not better than cal

[wraith brook]

nah ik

cal is better than all bascially

but still

ill wait

see if anything happens

idk

[tall ibex]

harvard > cal for prestige def

[lament fox]

fuck prestige

[wraith brook]

^

[tight hedge]

Not for cs tbh

[wraith brook]

i mean

the only reason

i would even consider harvard

is because then my kids get that legacy

• network

but also

cal is in silicon valley

• in state tuition

so id choose it over everything except harvard imo

[lament fox]

plus regents

for u

[sour pulsar]

even Stanford?

[wraith brook]

i already got rejected

even then

id prob choose cal regents

same tuition basically

half the cost

[sour pulsar]

what if Stanford gave you a full ride?

[wraith brook]

not gonna happen

im fully pay x 1000

but

I hate the idea of going to a place like stanford

that costs 2x as much

cuz that could pay for my sisters UC education as well

i would feel greedy

ik my parents can afford it but

still

[dim lake]

howd u know u got eecs

[wary plank]

Commit early bro

Especially for summer classes

[wary plank]

This depends on your goals

What do you want to do with your EECS degree

[wary plank]

And whether your parents can afford it

[wraith brook]

anything I can do at Stanford can be done at Berkeley

also I got rejected at stanford so

I don't need to think about it

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wary plank]

With like 3/4s the effort though

[wraith brook]

eh

i doubt that

[wary plank]

4.0 is much easier at the junior college for example

[wraith brook]

2x the cost is the only real difference I see

GPA doesn't matter as much to me

I can get a good gpa

i know that

[snow girder]

Did you apply to MIT?

[wraith brook]

nah

I don't like MIT

Massachusetts weather

and too far from home tbh

i like cali

[snow girder]

Touché

West coast best coast

[wraith brook]

indeed

I was born in ohio so

I know both coasts

I like it here way more

in cali

[wraith brook]

(I also hate the quarter system)

semesters are better

[wary plank]

That’s valid

[wraith brook]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SiFgB1lGxw also this video basically swayed me a ton

I did some programs at Stanford and a lot of this was accurate

[spice stream]

is there an early action for berkely?

[wraith brook]

no

[tall ibex]

no

[spice stream]

oh ok

so what does it mean by like rolling admissions online then

[tall ibex]

?

[wraith brook]

?

berkeley doesn't do rolling either

[tall ibex]

berkeley doesn't do rolling

why are we writing the same stuff

[spice stream]

oh shit mb

it says berkely college

[wraith brook]

average berkeley admit

[spice stream]

i'm dumb

[wraith brook]

same person

[tall ibex]

berkeley college exists?

[spice stream]

apparently

[tall ibex]

dang it does

[wraith brook]

community college

lol

[spice stream]

what's like the average ec's of people who get in

for ucb

[tall ibex]

um

[wary plank]

It varies wildly

[wraith brook]

yeah it varies

also on major

[wary plank]

Because admissions are mostly random past a GPA threshold

[wraith brook]

ik ppl who get into berkeley with a few ECs in a niche major

[wary plank]

Major also matters

[tall ibex]

yeah

[wraith brook]

I had some really unique ecs imo

and I made it eecs + regents

[dim lake]

stats is capped at berkeley but has a 20% acc rate

xddd

mcb isnt capped but acc rate is like 17

[tall ibex]

i got in L&S undeclared

no regents

i think i got quite normal ecs

[wary plank]

Applied math is even higher haha

[dim lake]

to where

[wary plank]

Berkeley

[dim lake]

fr should have went applied math

[tall ibex]

yeah

berkeley

[dim lake]

did u get regents

[tall ibex]

no

[wraith brook]

my s/o applied as applied math

[wary plank]

I should’ve went math to UCLA

[wraith brook]

iirc its like 40%

but also like

[spice stream]

hb like

for eecs then?

[wraith brook]

applied math is self selecting---my s/o loves math and has done like every math class in lower div already

[wary plank]

My less impressive friend got in for math there

[wraith brook]

?

what for eecs

[spice stream]

like stats ig

of someone who gets in

[wraith brook]

I can tell u mine if u want

[wary plank]

They don’t care abt “stats ECs” hardly anyone have strictly stats ECs

[tall ibex]

they dont even look at sat scores

lmao

[wary plank]

Yeah but that’s a recent development

If you’re good you stand a great chance at easier majors

You don’t have to be particularly crazy at anything

[dense skiff]

what is the acceptance rate like for physics at cal

[dim lake]

@wraith brook how else can you know if you get in early

[wary plank]

High iirc

[wraith brook]

...

you get an email

that tells you an update has been posted

to your berkeley portal

[dim lake]

oh

[tall ibex]

yeah

[wary plank]

I think it’s just an email man

[dim lake]

im stoopid

[wraith brook]

you log into the berkeley portal

[tall ibex]

and boom

[wraith brook]

^

I was freaking out

[tall ibex]

you got the star symbol thing

[wraith brook]

in the middle of english class

[tall ibex]

in your portal

[wary plank]

I wish to have had this type of story

[tall ibex]

i opened the decisions with my friends bcs in my timezone it was released early in the morning

i basically ran to my classroom and opened the decisions with the whole class

[dim lake]

oh ur also intl

wtf

[wraith brook]

???

im in-state

[dim lake]

no pooh

[tall ibex]

yea im intl

[dim lake]

I thought it was only regents but ig I was wrong

[tall ibex]

nah

i don't get regents

[wraith brook]

Berkeley releases special programs decisions and top tier applicants and regents early

[dim lake]

top tier applicants and regents
These are different people?

Inch resting

[wraith brook]

same but

not all top tier are/get regents

like Pooh i think

unless Pooh got GMP or MET

[dim lake]

Whats GMP

[wraith brook]

Global Management Program

Business Admin degree w/ concentration in Global Management

one of Berkeley's special programs u can apply to

[dim lake]

I think he said hes L&S undeclared

[wraith brook]

yeah so he probably fell into the category of top tier

but didn't get regents

[tall ibex]

i applied

LSBE

but LSBE suck so LSBE kids can only apply in their sophomore year

[dim lake]

am I stupid for not knowing what this is.

[tall ibex]

life sciences and business entrepreneurship program

[dim lake]

Please enlighten me

[tall ibex]

The Robinson Life Science, Business, and Entrepreneurship Program is designed to help students bridge scientific inquiry and research with entrepreneurship and commercial application.

[dim lake]

Oh interesting.

[wary plank]

Yeah biobusiness is also a thing there

[dim lake]

Never heard of it

[wraith brook]

i have not heard of that program either

[wraith brook]

huh

[dim lake]

Oski have you given up hope

I think I have partially given up hope

I am just not a good fit!

[tall ibex]

i only knew abt this program bcs i know someone in the program

or else i would not know

[wary plank]

Yeah fuck UCs

[dim lake]

Do you have privates?

[wary plank]

I’m looking at GED options rn I’m fucking done

[tall ibex]

u saying that with cal bear profile picture lmaoo

[wary plank]

Yeah :(

Blackpilled rn

[tall ibex]

and name

lol

[wary plank]

I don’t want to go to school anymore

[robust crown]

@tall ibex are u from India, cuz mine came early morning too lol

[tall ibex]

im from southeast asia

[robust crown]

ahh alr

[dim lake]

Are you also regents sir?

[wraith brook]

are u committing to berjkeley.

?

hly carp

holy crap

my fingers are dying rn

idk why

[robust crown]

yep

[tall ibex]

are you guys still anxious for ivy day

or is it just me

[robust crown]

idk 99% still waiting on stanford/harvard

[wraith brook]

I am only because they tell you the result of regents scholarship

[wraith brook]

ayyy

[tall ibex]

ayy

[wraith brook]

99% gang waiting on a fluke that prob won't happen

[robust crown]

lol

[robust crown]

samee i want regent so bad

[wraith brook]

im down bad for regents bro

[robust crown]

and not even because of the scholarship

[robust crown]

but you get residence at blackwell

[wraith brook]

priority course enrollment goes hard

I was talking to some regents

[loud rock]

Is regents only for in state

[wraith brook]

they said that if ur EECS and regents

its not worth blackwell

its too far away from eecs buildings

take foothill dorm

[robust crown]

mice tho ?

[dim lake]

Whats the acc rate for interview -> regents?

[wraith brook]

idk lol

[tall ibex]

i haven't even taken a look at the residences at berkeley 😭

[robust crown]

nah mate I am intl

[wraith brook]

nobody knows

[tall ibex]

i heard 50%

dk if it's accurate or no

[robust crown]

i have heard 20% but some said 50% idk

[dim lake]

Oski would know 🥂

[wary plank]

My MET/Regents friend is at Blackwell

It’s a nonissue if you have a nice scooter/ebike tbh

[robust crown]

all i know is that they consider interviewed candidates and file review candidates separately

[wraith brook]

alr

[dim lake]

Howd friday decisions go for you?

[wraith brook]

then im hoping for that regents

[wary plank]

But motet ppl don’t haha

[wraith brook]

even more

since i know im getting an electric scooter

for berk

[wary plank]

I can get you in contact with him

[robust crown]

JHU L , that was my only friday decision

[wraith brook]

@robust crown 😳 .... we could be... desi roommates? (/j)

[tall ibex]

same here

[dim lake]

Oh I just realized ur also intl

[tall ibex]

i got waitlisted by jhu

shit

[robust crown]

yessssssss if we get regents

[tall ibex]

applied jhu bme and did not go well

[wraith brook]

based

[loud rock]

regents is a full ride right

[wraith brook]

nah

[robust crown]

same but i got a straight L

[wraith brook]

they cover all your need

[wary plank]

Only one needs regents

[dim lake]

if one of you guys get regents can't you basically get a whole gang with you in blackwell

[wary plank]

To secure the double

[dim lake]

Say like, you want to room with xyz

[robust crown]

yoooooooo @wraith brook you my best bud from now

[wraith brook]

hell yeah

[wary plank]

Blackwell doubles are basically two singles together, lots of privacy

[wraith brook]

listen man

your indian

therefore

brothers

[tall ibex]

the waitlist is useless lmao out of 2000ish ppl who accepted the waitlist spot only 2 got in

[wraith brook]

for all intents and purposes

you are my biological twin

[tall ibex]

*last year data

[wraith brook]

and I would die for you

[tall ibex]

keep it real with you

[loud rock]

that got extreme quick

[wary plank]

I definitely don’t want roommates; I’m too stilted and autistic for that

[robust crown]

same bro

[dim lake]

Were regents interviews ever in person?

[robust crown]

only in person

[dim lake]

If we both get in can we cuddle

[wraith brook]

regents is in person

unless u cant make it

[wary plank]

I’ll probably get a single through the disabled program lol

[wraith brook]

in which case they review your app to decide

I did mine in person at irvine

[dim lake]

Oh you just go to any UC campus?

[wraith brook]

nah

[dim lake]

wha?

[wraith brook]

they host it at a hotel in irvine

or berkeley campus

2 options

[dim lake]

Did you guys network like crazy

[robust crown]

yup file review otherwise but it doesnt affect ur chances

[wraith brook]

ooo

inside info

👀

[dim lake]

@wary plank Is regents == free tuition again?

[robust crown]

this does reduce the in state comp for me as most in state would just interview

[robust crown]

need based

[dim lake]

I forgor

[wraith brook]

yea facts

[robust crown]

was steve wozniak regents ?

[dim lake]

Isn't regular also just need based?

[wraith brook]

nah

[loud rock]

How does Berkeley decide regents interviews if they don’t review all the apps by Feb

[robust crown]

no aid for intls 🙂

[wraith brook]

I think they do an initial review

by feb

[finite wind]

Intls are US unis bank

[tall ibex]

Ikr

[wraith brook]

regents gives minimum of 2.5k a year

no matter your need

so at least 2.5k a year

• priority housing

• priority course reg

• networking

• prestige/the flex

[robust crown]

+rizz

[wraith brook]

^

[dim lake]

Who are you trying to rizz

[tight hedge]

This vid is also coming from a guy who hated Stanford 💀

[dim lake]

sweaty men?

[wraith brook]

I took some classes at stanford already and he is right 💀

[wary plank]

Depends on EFC

[robust crown]

oski

[tight hedge]

Bro graduated in 3 years

That's just putting yourself through hell

[wraith brook]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoJ1ddvhvJY\

he did not go too hard at the beginning

[tight hedge]

He obviously did 💀 he jus didn't care about his grades as long as he passed

[dim lake]

I mean if you are interested in cs theory then I think Stanford is fine.

[wraith brook]

if I don't do a minor or anything

I can graduate from cal in 3 yrs easy

[dim lake]

As in professors are hired because they do research and they're good at theory.

[wraith brook]

stanford is above fine

[dim lake]

So they make classes to their strengths

[wraith brook]

stanford is a great school

it's amazing

but

I don't like it personally

compared to cal

[tight hedge]

It's not even just about profs, cal is just overcrowded to get into classes imo

[wraith brook]

I talked to some ppl already

tehy say they have had no issues as eecs with courses

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[robust crown]

lower div classes yh but upper divs are very empty

[dim lake]

Just get a 5 year BS MS

ez

[tight hedge]

We gonna find out fr

[wraith brook]

I wanna do that

actually

in fact

[robust crown]

and yh eecs get priority reg for cs course most issues stem from L&S CS

[tight hedge]

That's what I'm doing

[wraith brook]

i'd love to do grad school at stanford

because

most of the issues i have wtih stanford

seems to be localized to undergrad

[dim lake]

or be like the a2c harvard guy and BSMS in 4 years

[wraith brook]

but

berkeley has the 5th year eecs ms

[dim lake]

[wraith brook]

so

im rpob gonna do that

in 4 years

[tight hedge]

A lot of kids do that

[wraith brook]

stanford has coterms

similar concept

it's like a 5th year ms

[dim lake]

Yeah I think its more rare at the less competitive schools though.

[tight hedge]

Definitely

[wary plank]

3 year graduation is hardly a stretch

[dim lake]

Jahameb don't tell me you're also a CS major at tree

[wary plank]

AP credits/summer classes make it very possible/reasonable

[wraith brook]

yea

[wary plank]

This isn’t a reasonable question

Haha

[dim lake]

My bad!

[wraith brook]

I can graduate from berkeley eecs in 3 yrs

[wary plank]

I was joking haha

He is almost certainly CS/HumBio

Just by stats alone

And the fact that we’re here

[tight hedge]

Who wants to do summer classes

Especially when you can use that time for internships

[wraith brook]

u can do both lol

[tight hedge]

Or just be with your family and friends 💀

[wraith brook]

a lot of courses can be asynch in summer

[wary plank]

You’re at Stanford not hard to commute through both

[wraith brook]

a lot of ppl do both

[tight hedge]

I'm personally not tryna speedrun college

[wary plank]

I respect this

[tight hedge]

Y'all stay safe tho

[loud rock]

But wouldn’t you want to extend it over 4 years so that you can do more stuff like research and clubs

[wraith brook]

im extending it by taking a physics minor

[noble leaf]

What’s the acceptance rate of CoC?

[tight hedge]

Wtf u have ur classes planned already?? 😭

[wraith brook]

yeah

im excited

so i looked at the course catalog

[tight hedge]

Common a2c member lol I respect the grind

[wraith brook]

semester system means less to choose from and easier to plan lol

[dim lake]

I thought you could skip R1A with Lang/Lit?

[wraith brook]

i took 0 AP courses, only DEs

[loud rock]

what’s the difference between the physics 5 series and 7 series

[wraith brook]

5 series is intended for phys majors

basically its really in depth

[dim lake]

How many DE classes did you take?

[wraith brook]

25

most of which

were not very helpful

to eecs

[dim lake]

what da heck

[wraith brook]

they woulda been helpful in L&S

[dim lake]

At stanny?

[wraith brook]

ni

no

I only took 2 at stanford

[dim lake]

cc?

[wraith brook]

I took 23 at my local cc

[dim lake]

What math did you take at cc?

[wraith brook]

up through multivariable calc

and discrete math

couldn't take linear algebra and diffeq due to scheduling issues

[dim lake]

So did you just stack regular classes at your HS?

[wraith brook]

It's very complicated

My high school is built into the CC

So it's meant to take all your hard courses at the CC and get your high school requirements done at the high school

Yep

Exactly that

[dim lake]

Oh shit

thats dox

[wraith brook]

No

Lol

There are a ton of middle colleges

[robust crown]

interesting i was looking more towards a joint or a double major or if i get MET in sophomore year

[wraith brook]

Yeah I was thinking about the double major

[dim lake]

Oh I see.

[wraith brook]

It would probably be too much work

[dim lake]

I feel like you have no ECs though

[wraith brook]

That's why I'm thinking about doing a minor

[dim lake]

I was considering it.

Or well.

[wraith brook]

Lol I have a lot of ecs

[dim lake]

I mean you lose access to all clubs and sports

Middle college helps you sweat with olys and research I guess

[wraith brook]

I started those clubs

Sports don't really matter in my eyes

And I did a lot of cool stuff outside of school

[robust crown]

sports ahahaha sports

[dim lake]

At middle college?

[robust crown]

if i could do sports yh i would have been sweating a lot less

[wraith brook]

Ya lol

Just take initiative

There are no real boundaries

Only whatever you make up in your mind

[balmy orchid]

u cant right (if anyone else knows) bc not a single person nor UC website themselves say u can submit updates to ur app (like for berk)

the pic the person sent was for transfers

but idt u can send updates to ucs? like not loci but actual updates before ur decision is released

[spring raft]

when berk

30?

[grim scarab]

yep

[polar pier]

What’s acceptance rate for architecture major at cal

[hoary pasture]

!UCB

!Cal

[austere stream]

=]-[p0o9i8u7ywq

[rotund mantle]

random q but how do you know how many transfer units you have?

[wraith brook]

By the end of this semester I should have approximately 77

That includes the eight units I took at Stanford

[wary plank]

Bro is going to spend two weeks at Berkeley

[wraith brook]

EECS is mostly electives so most of my transfer units do not really carry over

[wary plank]

Just get that ethics requirement out of the way

Yeah true

Lots of upper divs

[wraith brook]

Sadly only about 6 courses best case get skipped

for me

[wary plank]

Do you skip the 61 series

[wraith brook]

Nah

[trail musk]

Is it legally acceptable to call it ucb?

[wary plank]

Man

[wary plank]

Call it what you want man

[wraith brook]

CSU Oakland tbh

[wary plank]

Cal Poly East Bay

[wraith brook]

Oakland State

[rotund mantle]

wait but how do you know have 77 is there a website that tells you or smth?

[wraith brook]

My community college?

I check my transcript?

It tells me how many units I have

Oh wait transfer units

I mean most of my units are from California community colleges

[rotund mantle]

yea

[wraith brook]

If my major was not in the college of engineering, a lot of them would transfer

Don't know for sure

[wary plank]

I have like thirty-something transfer units I believe

[rotund mantle]

where does it say how many transfer units u have tho?

thats what im confused on

[rotund mantle]

like do we just sum up our credits?

[polar pier]

How did u find out what classes u need to take etc

Also what’s like ur transcript ish if u don’t mind me telling when u applied

[cosmic meteor]

why did i get rejevted from UCSD but waitlosted from UCLA and UCI this is so confusing

@wraith brook explain pls

[wraith brook]

Yeah no I'm going to sleep

[cosmic meteor]

pls plsplspls

it’s only 9pm

[polar pier]

I rather have that then being accepted at ucsd but waitlisted at ucla and Uci

Makes me feel like anything higher than ucsd is only a waitlist for me

But for cal I put architecture which should be easier to get into than psych

[cosmic meteor]

oh for sure

but@idk

does this mean i have a shot at cal or not

[polar pier]

🤷 tbh

I knew someone who was rejected by lost uc and got accepted to cal at the end

I think cal is the most unpredictable one tbh

[round prism]

are y'all writing locis for your uc waitlists?

conflicting reports online

[warped geode]

*me an international -_-

[hoary pasture]

lmao

[polar pier]

Low key I think I’m not getting into cal

Ucla only the top of the top went in. Mostly grade crazy kids

I’m like average median gpa for ucla with great ec and didn’t get in so yh

Maybe this year they r only looking for grade heavy kids

[red dust]

dont lose hope

im severely lacking on course rigor

i took only 4 ap's sophomore and junior year combined when my school offers like 20+

https://tenor.com/view/troll-troll-face-gif-25116980

dropped out of ib and my schedule got fucked so i was just left with what was left

i also just randomly decided to do ceramics even though i know it lowers my uc gpa

[copper nimbus]

it dont matter now u made it @red dust also they wanted u for a reason dont put urself down

[cosmic meteor]

UCs are so random for intls

[red dust]

fr we all ended up in the same place, i just know that hearing anecdotal stuff like this would have really helped ease my anxiety when i was waiting

[polar pier]

I dropped out of ib too

I only kept dp psych and dp history

No English tok or math

And language

[modern osprey]

this is a sign i’m getting in

[hexed lance]

portal astrology

[sour pulsar]

where is this?

[modern osprey]

spain, familia sagrada (unfinished building)

that’s not portal astrology💀

i was just making a joke

no one here can take a joke istg

[wet ermine]

it isnt even the portal tho

[modern osprey]

Ik

It’s a museum within a building in spain

The mods here j can’t take jokes 💀

[ancient heath]

L+Ratio+no jokes allowed headass

[charred glen]

I know a trick that actually works

[astral fable]

Me too

Waiting✨

[charred glen]

Mine involves credit card numbers that you paid with to do UC apps

Dm me them and I'll give decisions answers

100% no cap works not patched yet

#real #amoungus3am#UCLA

[copper nimbus]

Damn really??? Do u need the 3 numbers at the back also

[pale bay]

And the card holder name and expiry date

[elfin folio]

really？

[tall ibex]

Man

That person tryna pirate your cc

Dont bother to listen

[red dust]

howd you find out

[copper nimbus]

wait really?

[tall ibex]

Better wait for official release date

Dont want to risk your cc

[red dust]

Ok I won’t give him my cc now

[quasi wigeon]

Are we allowed to?

[frank tundra]

got into santa cruz, irvine, san diego, davis and waitlisted at ucla. what are my chances at berkeley? 😭

[rich gust]

If i got rejected from ucsd and still have hope, you should too

[frank tundra]

🤞

[sour pulsar]

what major?

[frank tundra]

psych for berkeley

[robust crown]

hmm Psych at Berkeley is very very competitive ngl but four UC Ws and one WL show that you are a good enough applicant to have a shot

[cosmic meteor]

it’s random don’t bother guessing

[astral fable]

got into ucsd, ucd, and waitlisted at uci and ucla,,,, is legal studies at cal competitive???

[polar pier]

It’s 4%

[simple kestrel]

uci wl, ucsd in, ucla rej, chances for english at berkeley?

[cosmic meteor]

god bless berkeley

cool school

[cosmic meteor]

its v random, dont ttrust anything anyone tells u

i know some ppl who get berkeley early, out of which some got waitlisted/rejected and some got accepted UCLA

i would argue so yeah UCSD doesnt seem to be yield protecting or anything so getting in UCSD is quite impressive @simple kestrel

[cursive portal]

How competitive is physics at Berkeley?

[simple kestrel]

😭 ty just v nervous

[polar pier]

Yh berkeley is higher acceptance at our school but im stressing since I didn’t get into ucla

I have the gpa by a good bit from our school

And decent ec

I just don’t know I’m like the wl level essay probably

[cosmic meteor]

everyone is

keep your mind off of it

[simple kestrel]

i had some recently significant ECs and awards but i doubt they look at updates or have anywhere to send them

[cosmic meteor]

your attitude towards any school at this stage should be

[polar pier]

It’s sooo hard

[cosmic meteor]

'i would love to get in and it would be cool'

but

[polar pier]

I’ve been sleeping at 2am since ucla decision came out

[cosmic meteor]

'i probably wont get in'

manifest but be realistic its hard as fuck to get in anywhere

[polar pier]

Anyone apply to cal with arch major

[urban remnant]

does anyone know the acceptance rate for econ major

freshman

[polar pier]

I can’t find any major acceptance rate for cal

😿

[simple kestrel]

i think ppl are using the major transfer rates to estimate if its competitive

[cold stratus]

found this, dk if its legit

https://www.petersons.com/graduate-schools/university-of-california-berkeley-college-of-letters-and-science-department-of-physics-000_10045417.aspx

it says over 900 applied but it only says the # of people enrolled, not admitted

but just getting into L&S is hard in itself so yeah, acceptance rate is very low

[fringe inlet]

UCB

[cosmic meteor]

I really read that as UC bagel because of ur name

[fringe inlet]

LMAO

it shuold be uc bagel

[signal tendon]

huh

#shrutisioverparty

[signal tendon]

abuse is a part of our relationship

[fringe inlet]

um we arent in a relationship weirdo

[signal tendon]

um

what

[fringe inlet]

um

what

[hoary pasture]

wtf is happening in this chat

[fringe inlet]

this was really unsuccessful

[hoary pasture]

lmao

[fringe inlet]

lets move to umich @signal tendon

[signal tendon]

bet

[hoary pasture]

im everywhere there is no escaping

[fringe inlet]

we are also everywhere

[hoary pasture]

true

I respect that

[signal tendon]

i have a q

how many kids get in for cs

[fringe inlet]

all of them besides u

[signal tendon]

🤩🤩🤩

[fringe inlet]

why are there starfish on ur eyes

wtf

[cosmic meteor]

was 550 last year, dropped to around 90 this year

good luck!

[hoary pasture]

wtf

[cobalt parcel]

huh

[hoary pasture]

from 550 to 90

thats crazy

[cobalt parcel]

550 last year really?

[hoary pasture]

its on wiki

yeah I think so

[lethal tinsel]

Is uc Berkeley math more competitive than ucla math

🗿

[fringe inlet]

90 is crazy

what happened 💀

[hoary pasture]

not enough funding

so they pick more oos and international students to compensate and request the governor for more money

[fringe inlet]

yeah but like

how tf did it drop that much 💀

[hoary pasture]

cause they are money hungry

😦

also UCB is so damn crowded

[signal tendon]

wait fr?

why

[hoary pasture]

like its horrible

[fringe inlet]

they saw your applicaiton and decided to give you 460 spots because they really want you

[cosmic meteor]

bro chose violence 💀

[cosmic meteor]

they cut seats bc sm kids are transferring into CS

they basically don’t have capacity

[fringe inlet]

U CAN SWITCH INTO CS?

[signal tendon]

wait can you send me a link to this information

is this the same for data sci? 🫡

[fringe inlet]

isnt it easier to get into eecs then 💀

💀💀💀💀💀

[signal tendon]

what the hell

dont you think they took a lot of kids for eecs already early?

[fringe inlet]

thats lowkey the funniest thing ive ever heard

[fringe inlet]

i heard they took a lot of MET

[signal tendon]

40 MET 🥵

bro what is my life

[fringe inlet]

berkeley stealing 80$ from me

bombastic side eye

[signal tendon]

does anyone know what the case is for this

[thorny slate]

bro what the fuck 😭 our year is so unlucky

[gloomy stone]

i’m pretty sure this is for transfers into the major

is it not?

[thorny slate]

can u give ur souircec

[signal tendon]

that makes more sense to me

[thorny slate]

90 just seems so iuncredibly stupid lmfao

[signal tendon]

cause they are restricting transfers

[gloomy stone]

it’s L&S transfers pretty sure

[thorny slate]

last year they had a super low acceptance rate for cs right? so hopefully this time its a little better since they didnt let as many ppl in

[signal tendon]

but idk someone needs to send the source for this info

[gloomy stone]

no i remember seeing this before

[signal tendon]

they are admitting more people as a whole this year so i hope it reflects on cs too

[thorny slate]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/973413985414172712/1073356476632010984/Screen_Shot_2023-02-09_at_1.34.36_PM.png?width=751&height=468

2022-2023 refers to last year right

since the common data set works that way too

[signal tendon]

why are they noting lower than stanford like its a good thing 😭

[thorny slate]

LMFAOOO

idfk

but

im hoping since last year was so low this year will be more similar to last years

[signal tendon]

🙏

[fringe inlet]

mfw its easier to get into EECS

[thorny slate]

otherwise its like basicallyyy imopssible

[noble leaf]

How hard is the college of chemistry

?

anyone know

?

(to get into)

[thorny slate]

wait was that proposal where berkeley has to accept more instate ppl now passed

[astral fable]

uci waitlist kind of hit me hard i dont have hope for cal

[polar pier]

Same

How did ucla treat u

[simple kestrel]

me

[modern osprey]

me with ucla WL

[astral fable]

another waitlist

[rotund mantle]

is it impossible to transfer from undeclared Math and Physical sciences to cs?

[thorny slate]

before p doable now practically impossible

[silent surge]

If I made the dumb mistake of applying cs l&s as my first choice major will they also look at my second choice major or is it over for me? 😭

[thorny slate]

ngl i made same mistake and im p sirw they wont even use 2nd

[silent surge]

Man can’t wait to be a Berkeley reject 😭

Higher chance of getting into Stanford fr

[thorny slate]

i heard it was for data collection purposes and if not itll be rarely used

u got ucla tho

[silent surge]

Yeah not to be ungrateful or anything, I love ucla, but Berkeley’s my dream school

Oh well

[thorny slate]

ah icic

waitlisted cs ucla 😔

gl tho

[silent surge]

Thank you

Gl to you too

[thorny slate]

get into berk and give me ur seat 😄 for ucla LMFAO

cuz im def getting rejected

[silent surge]

Honestly sounds good lmao

If I get into Berkeley it’s a deal 😍

I wish you could actually specify which waitlist recipients to give your spot to if you turn down an acceptance lmao because I have a friend who got wl at one of the other UCs who really wants my spot

And tbh I’d be 100% down to give it to her if they’d let me

[thorny slate]

thatd be pretty cool

[silent surge]

But I could imagine that’d get kinda hectic. People would probably buy acceptances to get off the wl

[thorny slate]

bro ppl would start selling spots LMFAO

[silent surge]

YEAH lol

[thorny slate]

yeahh

did u get ucla@for cs

or smthn like math of comp

[silent surge]

No I got bioengineering though which is the same school iirc

[thorny slate]

ohh ic

i wish i did something easier :sob
