i am just now realizing the 2 majors i applied for at berkeley are FUCKED
wraith brook
which ones
timber copper
i applied global management program as second choice and that requires me to be at UCB in the summer and spend the fall in LONDON
why did i not do any research
my first choice is literally a dual degree between haas and molecular cell biology (i have negative scientic backround)
Robinson Life Science, Business, and Entrepreneurship Program, B.S.
timber copper
wait im confused
is there direct admission to haas or does everyone have to apply in
upbeat orbit
is there direct admission to haas or does everyone have to apply in
Apply in junior year for us. Direct 4 year entry starting next year.
timber copper
since both my majors are direct admit to haas, can i still be considered for undeclared L&S if i dont get either?
upbeat orbit
I'm not sure
vale kiln
most people who get into berkeley get WLd UCLA
damn i got waitlisted ucla iβll update if i get into berkeley 
polar pier
most people who get into berkeley get WLd UCLA
i agree with this
ik someone who got wl at ucla and made it into cal
i think cal is more of a suprising result than actually the top tier ucla student. though everyone is qualifiied at ucla too i think ucla is more of the top of the top while cal is more of the "second tier"
and this is me who thought i was top in my school transcript wise but after the people who got into ucla i understand or see y
fading cliff
wait so if ppl get ucla -- good chance for cal?
polar pier
if you have a unique or academically unique transcipt that is strong i say u still have a good chance
polar pier
wait so if ppl get ucla -- good chance for cal?
yh too but honestly each ucs are different

both Haas and engineering have to say yea
I thought there was a seperate EECS committee

just a few more days anyway

lmao no but i meant like it doesnt have to be all APs
ik many people that got in that was liike a regular smart student
some ap but they didnt take the hardest of classes at my school
fading cliff
hmmm yeah my uc uncapped is p high - let's hope cal works out
polar pier
yh my uc uncapped was higher than average but i got waitlisted
thorny slate
i agree with this
omg im on so much fukin copium rn
polar pier
what stood out from everyone that i didnt have was like some people had research or won their respective major interest
gentle drift
my with my one (1) unique ec: they want me fr

well also im going through a whole mental crisis after ucla so half of what i say is to make my self feel better or give me some hope
thorny slate
my ecs were just spamming cs stuff π
gentle drift
cs major π
polar pier
my ecs were just spamming cs stuff π
well i feel like those transcipt were better accepted from my school than just straight up academic strong yk what i mean
its hard to explain but if u see the trend of people that get into cal and ucla its a bit different
polar pier
im not saying cal is stupid or lower tier but different views from ucla
thorny slate
took easier classes (enviro rather than bio, altho was alr doing physics so it was my second ap science)
compared to my peers
to have more time for ecs
polar pier
so ucla is smart smart kids cal is a bit different i think
wraith brook
I mean MET committee
Maybe
thorny slate
its hard to explain but if u see the trend of people that get into cal and ucla ...
yeah i def see what u mean tho
the only ppl ik who got in took hardest classes and maintined a 4.0
even if their ecs werent the strongest
fading cliff
the only ppl ik who got in took hardest classes and maintined a 4.0
i think 60% of ucla admits have 4.0 uw. idrk where i saw that
polar pier
yh. BUT PLS DONT TAKE MY WORDS. I am pretty mentally crazy abt ucla just so i have hope for cal
polar pier
i got wl with a 4.54 and my school average for ucla is 4.4 so that hit me hard. I even had solid ec like mun, mesa treasuer, asb presdient,vice preside,treauser, xc and track, and eagle scout. plus my lower div done in psych for ucla along with igetc

But Berkeley is looking for different things
wraith brook
i got wl with a 4.54 and my school average for ucla is 4.4 so that hit me hard. ...

I can't access it
ahh all good
cal asked for lor though from me
im hoping thats a good sign
copper nimbus
I haven't committed to Berkeley yet so
waiting for ivies/stanford?

its fine they shut down parties

@wraith brook so there hasn't been a pattern of other uc acceptances associated with getting accepted to ucb
Like no correlation?
wraith brook
basically none
literally you never know
i mean, i bet getting rejected from UC Merced probably is not a good sign tho
polar pier
Have yβall seen the dude that got rejected by Merced cus he was too good
wraith brook
use some bayes' rule with a large distribution of data tho
if u wanna try to find a real correlation
steel turret
Tru
There is definitely correlation but you'd need to look at all the data not just the people who post on a2c lol
polar pier
someone should do the data analysis lol
cosmic meteor
use some bayes' rule with a large distribution of data tho
your sample would be too small to be accuratw
also bayes identifies a single variable correlation
this is a multi variable, unpredictable decision
with a certain element of randomness you cannot approximate for

cosmic meteor
your data is limited in terms of how much you can interpolate too

instead of wasting your time finding correlation on something you have 0 control over

I got into Davis, and Waitlisted at LA, do u guys think my chances a re good for Berkeley π
I think Berkeley is slightly less difficult to get in to than UCLA, so it places me in the danger area where my chances are extremely volatile

Anyways Iβm estimating that I must be in the top 20% of rejected applicants for UCLA, and their overall acceptance rate is 10%, while UCB is more like 14% overall,, So if we do the math I have a shot to get into UC B, what exactly that number is Iβm too tired to do calculate,,, my next best option is to try and see if there are any cryptic messages in the rejection letter. Maybe they spelled out words with the first letter of each sentence to tell me I got into UCB?
