[sly rune]

Ram Lord?

[pulsar yacht]

OH FUCK THEY’RE ASKING FOR SUPPLEMENTAL INFO

[north copper]

they asked u?

u got opped

[pulsar yacht]

just got an email

[pulsar yacht]

opped?

i wonder why they send the extraordinary skill or talent supp to ppl if they don’t have one?

i get that they say “you may have mentioned” but like why not just send the supp questions that apply to them

[north copper]

its optional

but it can only help ur app

u should fill it

[pulsar yacht]

yeah fs

isnt this sent often for ppl who are on like the border?

[icy hornet]

they are?

[obtuse yacht]

Did u get an email

[pulsar yacht]

if ur asked for it

[pulsar yacht]

yeah

[obtuse yacht]

Cool

[errant root]

is getting a supplemental questionnaire bad in any sense?

[icy hornet]

nope

just means you aren't an easy reject or easy accept

and knowing you're in the middle should give you more comfort than not knowing if you're on one extreme or the other

[errant root]

hmm alright thank you

[late citrus]

Probably, especially this late

[sonic roost]

u gotta write it tho

dont leave it empty

[slate creek]

Hello! Has anyone received the supplemental questionnaire before? I’m absolutely stuck on it and it’s due on Monday :(

[north copper]

Yes

https://askmssun.com/ucla-supplemental-questionnaire/

read this

[slate creek]

Thank you so much!

[high galleon]

LMAO im getting rejected 💀💀

[pseudo patio]

If I get into this school imma literally kiss all of you

[white sable]

cant wait

[sonic basin]

[prisma herald]

LOL

[white sable]

XDxD

[coarse sun]

same

but honestly idec

i cba to deal with LA traffic

[pulsar yacht]

so then do i treat the supp prompts as another piq? just with a lot more detail pertaining to what i mentioned in my app before?

or do i stay really objective like an additional info section?

[north copper]

Yes, treat it as another essay PIQ

[shrewd blade]

why am i stressed out that i havent got the supp prompt

[north copper]

Chill, it means u got in alr

[elder pumice]

*rejected

[cedar heron]

No same it stresses me out 😭

[shrewd blade]

this is the A2C love i needed

[north copper]

i mean theres a 90% chance u get rejected anyways

it shouldnt be a huge surprise if/when you get rejected or waitlisted

[stiff compass]

real

[pulsar yacht]

gotcha, appreciate you benz 🙏

[opaque gale]

when does ucla come out n

[north copper]

Mid march

Last year march 18th

[opaque gale]

what supp prompt

[north copper]

Not everyone will get it

It’s just a describe one of ur accomplishments in more detail

[opaque gale]

oh it’s just for the best applicants 🫡

[north copper]

Not necessarily

[opaque gale]

then i def won’t be included 🤣

[north copper]

It might be random, or it might be for those who are borderline

[opaque gale]

i’ll prob be rejected anyways

if i was rejected from emory deferred usc and georgetown there’s no way

[north copper]

Hey u never know

[opaque gale]

i just have no hope

no good colleges want me

[shrewd blade]

college admissions are more of a coinflip then ever this year its crazy

keep spirits high

we getting into USC and UCLA truz

[worn pelican]

hello

[devout crown]

hi

[wide tide]

seems like they're still coming

idt it matters too much though, hypothetically you could've been put in the "accepted" pile already

[bleak frost]

naw man im shaking in my socks

[wide tide]

same 😭

yessir

i was visiting ucla not long ago and i was so depressed thinking about the very high chance of not getting in

yeah their campus is so beautiful

i live really close to it, by far the nicest part of LA imo

[tribal matrix]

I pray for acceptance

[ashen flume]

are scholarships and likelies out??

[rose pier]

?

[sick arrow]

What is that? I didn't get it

[tawdry drift]

i think most intls didnt get it

i know friends who didn't

[sick arrow]

Oohhkk

[wide tide]

anyone have inspirational stories for ucla?

[north copper]

for?

[wide tide]

like low gpa stories

[north copper]

i mean stories exist

[icy hornet]

yeah

a bunch of ppl w a sub 3.5gpa applied and got rejected

[wide tide]

💀

lol

[north copper]

LMAOOO

[worn pelican]

😭😭

[wintry lintel]

Did everyone get the UCSC email?

"IMPORTANT Information Regarding UC-Wide Health Requirements"

[icy hornet]

no

oh ucsc

wrong channel bro

[north copper]

bros applying to ucsc wtffff

[icy hornet]

ong who does that

[icy hornet]

🤨

ayo alter ego???

[north copper]

fr

[wintry lintel]

Lmfao

[wintry lintel]

🙏

Btw some trustable unit said "The UCLA Alumni Scholarship invite pool has steadily increased over the last few years but even when the invite pool was small, admission was not guaranteed but definitely a positive sign in that the applicant is a competitive candidate."

bc apparently not everyone gets it

[north copper]

Everyone got the alum scholarship email lmao

[boreal wraith]

You don't even know that for sure? lol

The labeling is yes, everyone gets it

[north copper]

My point

It’s not a sign

That’s what the kid is alluding to

[boreal wraith]

99% they gave it to everyone... but what's the explanation for past years?

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/855d4e/i_took_a_poll_yesterday_that_looked_at_the/

this is what I mean

they changed it right

[north copper]

That’s a tiny sample

UCLA had like at least 80,000 applicants 5 years ago

Last year was 150k iirc

[devout crown]

also bias from the fact that people who got in and are like in the "excited phase" to attend are much more likely to fill something like that out than those who were rejected

[north copper]

Yea fr. It’s a sampling error/bias

[devout crown]

^

[boreal wraith]

but the assumption is that this applies to this year

and yes, fs response bias

[north copper]

A lot has changed in 5 years

[boreal wraith]

i'm admitting that it could be different anyways

[north copper]

All I’m saying is

Don’t be disappointed when u don’t get in

Bc u thought the alumni scholarship email was a sign

🤷🏻‍♂️

[boreal wraith]

not the implication at all lol

[north copper]

Hahahahaaaaa

All goo

[boreal wraith]

Now the supplemental questionnaire is a different story lol

lots of people going "omg omg" like the newjeans song

[north copper]

Yea the supp is def somethn

[boreal wraith]

glad i didnt get it

they prob made a decision already 🤷‍♂️

[opaque gale]

imma get rejected

[devout crown]

how many people got the supp

[boreal wraith]

15% max

but this year no idea specifically how many

nobody will know

[wintry lintel]

That's false

because I have asked others

and only some got while some didn't

[north copper]

ok

most people

[wintry lintel]

Yes

[north copper]

why do u care sm ab the email

[wintry lintel]

Bc I wanna have the satisfaction of being a good enough applicant

[wintry lintel]

So if I get in, you have to send me a $100, deal?

[north copper]

r u on campus

if so maybe

if u get in, i'll donate $10 to a charity of your choosing

[wintry lintel]

LOL BET

[obtuse yacht]

https://askmssun.com/uc-alumni-scholarship-invitation/

@wintry lintel

I think u right

[devout crown]

most got it tho right

[wide tide]

Internationals don't get it

[north copper]

thats what i mean when i say everyone got it

its by no means i sign of admissions

and by saying ohh ohh look... my friend didnt get it... intl's didnt get it...

ur stressin over an email for nothin

[boreal wraith]

it says on the blog post

sometimes the invitations will go out to all applicants; the invited pool seems to get adjusted every year

[obtuse yacht]

Yea

[boreal wraith]

and confirms that it has nothing to do with your chances of admission besides the correlation of high achieving students (in the case that they don't send it to everyone!)

[obtuse yacht]

Yep

[devout crown]

yes

[north copper]

exactly

[obtuse yacht]

That makes sense yea

[north copper]

and if u get rejected, are u gonna donate $10 to a charity of my choosing?

😉

[boreal wraith]

hahaha

[obtuse yacht]

Did they send it to everyone this year?

[north copper]

it doesnt really matter whether they send it to everyone does it?

[obtuse yacht]

True true

[boreal wraith]

yup

if its separate from the admissions office in fact it means nothing

i don't know how they form the criteria and if that's on the part of admissions (maybe then it matters) but regardless... who cares

[wintry lintel]

YES

[wintry lintel]

🙂

[north copper]

🤝

[wintry lintel]

🤝

[sonic basin]

i got the email but im positive im getting rejected lmao

[opaque gale]

same

[bleak frost]

im intl living in the us and i didnt get the email

[north copper]

mods should ban any discussion about this alumni email

[bleak frost]

LMAO its stressing me out

[north copper]

im kinda glad i didnt join a2c pre decisions

[glass knot]

alumni means nothing, got the email months ago

[north copper]

Disciplinary action

[late citrus]

This will be some of you in a few months

[lethal imp]

You hafta let us know about this stuff

[late citrus]

Kids won’t shut up about their alumni emails because they believe it’s a sign

The solution would be to just blacklist any message with both alumni and email

[manic radish]

A2Cers love reading into everything besides the college’s website

[worn pelican]

dont u have to commit if you get the money from the alumni scholarship too

[manic radish]

Issue is blacklisting in the discord is diff from subreddit

[late citrus]

Nope

[worn pelican]

oh

bye i thought u would have to

thats kind of why i disregarded it

[late citrus]

Nah ppl get scholarships all the time

[jaunty elk]

i ddint even get a email yet bruh

[late citrus]

Ok it looks like some people actually aren’t getting it

I’ll ask around at school

[north copper]

Lmao did they just wipe the entire convo

[late citrus]

Did we?

Carly acts behind the scenes sometimes

There are in fact things going behind what is normally behind the scenes

Carly carries this community though

So it was probably positive

[jaunty elk]

word broski

[elder pumice]

i think part of the problem is the context surrounding the alumni scholarship email and the idea that it could have meant something in the past but doesn't anymore

to the point where students ignore a clear indicator that receiving the email is not an indication of admissions chances because they're looking for hope in a time of uncertainty

[opaque gale]

so true, i feel like a lot of us havent received much college app success

at least i haven't

idk

[late citrus]

I’ll say this much: in the past it has been a weak positive indicator

[opaque gale]

i just feel like none of my work in high school will pay off lol

[late citrus]

It’s weakened as an indicator as they cast their net wider

[late citrus]

This depends on what you define as paying off

[opaque gale]

lol getting into a good school

[elder pumice]

the state of not knowing is what gets to you and me

[opaque gale]

ik

it sucks so bad

[elder pumice]

come april we'll all know where the cards fold

but now... now everything seems up in the air

[opaque gale]

senioritis is increasing, motivation decreasing, will to live decreasing

[late citrus]

What’s a good school to you? A T5?

T20? T50?

[opaque gale]

now for me nothing seems confirmed

[opaque gale]

honestly just one of the reaches i applied to

me thinking i shouldnt have applied to 18 schools bc im gonna get rejected waitlisted deferred everywehre

[late citrus]

Well, I can’t guarantee that it will be ok

You should persevere regardless though

[opaque gale]

do u know if not getting the additional supp means instant reject?

[late citrus]

No bro

It’s not an instant reject

I don’t know about what it indicates

[elder pumice]

not getting additional supp means that your application made enough sense for them to issue you a decision

[late citrus]

I would suspect it’s borderline

[elder pumice]

it doesn't even mean borderline because you could still get wl'd

that's ultimate borderline

[late citrus]

Or you fucked something up

[elder pumice]

or your situation is kinda weird like if you seem like a good student but there were things outside of your control

maybe your school has an interesting de program

[late citrus]

My opinion on it is this

UCLA already has enough shit to parse though

If they are asking for this extra supplement it probably means that

They are seriously considering you, and your admission will likely be contingent on what you send

[elder pumice]

i think it's really too simple to say something like that

[wide tide]

I saw this on CC but max they can send out the supplemental info is to 15% and they only sent it out to i think like 5% of all applicants last cycle so it probably doesn't mean much

[errant root]

just means ur borderline

[late citrus]

Just because they didn’t hit the max doesn’t mean it doesn’t mean anything

[wide tide]

Yeah I don't think it means that much... Hypothetically they could've already decided to accept you

[late citrus]

If they’ve already decided to accept you why would they need to ask for more info

[wide tide]

no that's why you wouldn't be mreceiving the info

[late citrus]

Especially considering that there’s a cap on how many applicants that they can’t send it to

Yeah exactly

It’s not for people they’ve already decided to accept

[wide tide]

yeah

[late citrus]

If they want to accept you they’ll just do it, if they’re unsure they‘ll send a request for supplemental info

[errant root]

quick stupid question. I’m currently writing for my supplement questionnaire and I was wondering if we need to indent our paragraphs. Bc when I try to press the tab button, it doesn’t indent at all.

[elder pumice]

don't worry about it

[late citrus]

Just indent

[elder pumice]

you couldn't indent on your piq's, why indent on this

[late citrus]

I indented my PIQs

[devout crown]

me not getting the supplemental form🤭

[opaque gale]

^^ me with this and lack of yale likely

[devout crown]

same😝😝😝

https://tenor.com/view/crying-happy-but-sad-face-gif-19422780

[elder pumice]

the best way to put it is... we've collectively put all of ourselves into this process, this investment or gamble in out futures
and for us to then immediately put none of ourselves into it and accept that it's out of our control is a difficult transition to make

[worn pelican]

😳

alumni email means jack shit

supp info email is for those in the "maybe" category

at this time UCLA has tentatively put most applicants in reject, accept, or maybe

you may be auto rejected ORRR even auto accepted

you could also be a maybe

but

[rose pier]

looks like im auto rejected

[worn pelican]

not getting the email means youre a maybe who they can make a decision on w the stuff in ur app

shut up

[devout crown]

looks like im auto ******ed

[worn pelican]

shut up

you dont know

[devout crown]

im jus playing

[worn pelican]

getting the supp was much worse

i wrote 2 600 word supps

when they could just

REJECT ME PEACEFULLY

[north copper]

Lmaoo

[devout crown]

ITS RHAT MUCH

THAT

[worn pelican]

YES DUMBASS

AND I HAD TO PUT

[elder pumice]

i'm doing a scholarship essay right now and lemme tell you how happy i am to NOT be writing more than that right now

[devout crown]

😅😅😅

[worn pelican]

MY HEART AND SOUL INTO THEM

[elder pumice]

less writing = better

[worn pelican]

yepppp

[devout crown]

👀

[worn pelican]

so be happy if ur auto rejected

[late citrus]

Yeah I wasn’t talking about the alumni email I was talking about supplemental info thing

[worn pelican]

at least u were rejected

WITHOUT THE GAWDAMN SUPP

[worn pelican]

i know.

[devout crown]

Yeah. true

[worn pelican]

i was referring to above messages

they were not part of the reply

[late citrus]

Oh ok

[worn pelican]

exactly

[late citrus]

Yeah alumni emails were generally seen as a weak positive indicator in the past

Now, not so much

As almost everyone get them now

[worn pelican]

i think safe guess u just passed pre screening

[devout crown]

never know till you know

[worn pelican]

like 3.0+

[rose pier]

what are alumni emails

[late citrus]

You didn’t get one?

[rose pier]

I wasnt paying attention

to this chat

[late citrus]

Did you apply to UCLA tho

[rose pier]

yep

[late citrus]

Wow you didn’t get one then

Hmm

[north copper]

Rejected

[rose pier]

L

[north copper]

Sorry

[dawn dew]

[late citrus]

Neither of you got the alumni scholarship email?

Man

[dawn dew]

I got the supp questionnaire one

[rose pier]

I want to say something but the last time I said something abt aos the uva dean replied to my msg

[late citrus]

Maybe I’ll do a little case study

[north copper]

Bro

[dawn dew]

LMFAO

[late citrus]

LOLLL

[north copper]

Someone did a case study 5 years ago

[dawn dew]

uva dean commented on my tiktok so I deleted the app

[north copper]

90 ppl got the email and got in, 2 people got the email and got rejected

[elder pumice]

@.uvadeanj#6032 is out to get you

[north copper]

This was a study on a2c sub

[late citrus]

what abt ppl that didn’t get the email

[north copper]

And some kid brought it up yesterday lmaooo

Idk where the link is now

That was funny

[late citrus]

Ohh deanj

I thought you meant the Dean

[rose pier]

oh yeah no

[late citrus]

Like Dean of admissions

[rose pier]

yeah

[late citrus]

Pretty sure Dean is her name or something

[rose pier]

nah she is associate dean

which is close enough

[rose pier]

what was the actual email abt

[late citrus]

Some schools have a lot of associate deans

[north copper]

Irrelevant. It’s marketing

They want u to apply or something

[rose pier]

oh I see

oh never mind

I got it but its been over a month

alumni scholarship right?

[north copper]

Yep

[rose pier]

do ucs come out march 15th?

[north copper]

UCs come out the whole month of march

so from March 1 - 30th

[rose pier]

good then I can just do scholarship apps last minute if I get into a uc

[north copper]

werent the scholarships just the checkboxes?

on the uc app

[rose pier]

thank you

[rose pier]

the alumni ones I mean

[north copper]

yea you could apply

[worn pelican]

omg? ucla lowkey early

i was expecting really late march

[dawn dew]

I got it I just checked lol jan 13

[north copper]

ucla, ucsd, and uci were all the same day

march 18th

[worn pelican]

so ucd will probably be the first one based on previous years?

thats a good way of starting my uc results yassss (i hope)

[north copper]

yea ucd comes out first

(out of the popular uc's)

but again, this is just data

from last year, so nothings set and stone

[elder pumice]

do you think ucla, uci, ucsd will release on the same day this year

[worn pelican]

yupp

do we think cal releasing early batches this friday

[north copper]

dont count on it

[elder pumice]

assume you won't get one

[worn pelican]

true

for march we wait

YASSSS

[north copper]

fr

[wintry lintel]

what

berk coming in 3 days??

[worn pelican]

no

[north copper]

this is last year

[wintry lintel]

oh

[north copper]

tiny batch

[worn pelican]

even then that early batch is like 1% isn't it

[north copper]

something like that

[rotund tundra]

Same for me need help

[wintry lintel]

o

[dawn dew]

wtf feb 11

why do they do that

[north copper]

its kinda like a likely letter

in a way

[dawn dew]

oh

[north copper]

they wanna rizz u in

but its not a likely, its an acceptance

[dawn dew]

yeah

that's odd idk

but very nice

[opaque gale]

wait what

shits coming out feb 11?

only likelies?

[north copper]

its like a likely

its not a likely

[opaque gale]

oh my bad

sorry

[lethal imp]

But you know what is a sign

@ all of you

We need to make a version of this like we have of !think

Not the acronym just the a2c theme with text

[uncut grove]

https://i.imgur.com/p80meJZ.png

[kindred crest]

so my statement needs to be true, hurtful, illegal, necessary and kind

nice

[north copper]

STOP

[glossy turtle]

did ucla get anything today like berk?

[north copper]

Nope

[rigid tulip]

last year they sent out regents after normal decisions, not sure if its the new trend or not

[devout crown]

whend they send out reg

[jaunty elk]

Wtf is regents

[surreal orchid]

full ride scholarship apparently

[solar cedar]

its not full ride

[rotund tundra]

It’s like 2k or something 😭

[rigid tulip]

it was march 21 last year i believe

the main advantage of regents is priority enrollment in classes

[late citrus]

It depends on your EFC

At least at Berkeley

You’ll know when you get it

[solar cedar]

I think on the notice I got it said 2k

[late citrus]

That’s the initial award, boy

[brittle garden]

lmaooo I love how u have no chill

[late citrus]

Well it depends on my mood haha

[pulsar yacht]

i made peace with my supp questionnaire and submitted

now all i can do is wait 😑

i have given these mfs all that i can

[north copper]

u can sleep well
knowing you havenet been rejected yet

[pulsar yacht]

so true

lol

at least it’s better than nothing

only place to go now is up, just gotta hope for the best

[north copper]

its very true tho

why would they send u a supp if ur app wasnt alr in the garbage?

[wide tide]

Anyone get this mail?

[brittle garden]

What was in it?

[worn pelican]

^

[north copper]

bruh just open it lmaooo

[spice raft]

please dont leave us hanging. what was in it

[autumn halo]

What was in it

[wide tide]

Out of town and my bitch ass brother sent this to me and refused to just open it for me

So we'll see on Monday

[solar cedar]

Wouldn't they advertise the maximum award instead of the initial?

[north copper]

that was nice of him haha

[wide tide]

Yeah haha. Kinda paranoid about it. Like they couldn't just send it out in email form lol? Let's pray it's something good

Since they don't usually send out mail

[wide tide]

So I did some detective work and it seems like it was sent from UCLA not UC regents

[north copper]

first class tho?

mus be important

[wide tide]

Yeah that's what I was thinking

Not sure what a student account would be for

[wide tide]

It was a tax form.

[north copper]

ur bro opened it?

[late citrus]

This will be some of you guys in a few months

[north copper]

See I thought this was gonna be me at ucsd

But its really not

[north copper]

it doesnt have anything to do with hollywood

[late citrus]

Definitely not more than ASU

And it’s not a Hollywood thing

More like a widespread LA thing

[north copper]

hahaha

thats funny u mention that

[late citrus]

#1: be rich, #2: be good-looking

[north copper]

LA really is not a touristy destination

[late citrus]

This could be you but you are presumably neither of those things

Neither am I

Well actually no I am one

[north copper]

and i never will

[late citrus]

Sure you will

[north copper]

college is depressing

[late citrus]

Who knows you could get lucky with some IPO

The GoPro mfs went to UCSD

[north copper]

yea ik

that story is insane

[late citrus]

Very upset but that’s not going to happen

No I’m just very confident

[late citrus]

Just look at how handsome he is

#1 mascot “no kizzy”

[elder pumice]

you guys can afford the liberty of having a favorite uc

i want to see if i can find my way into one of them

[north copper]

You’re abnormally good at this

[north copper]

I made this like a month ago

But I needed to file transfer from a diff computer

So I used discord lol

[sick arrow]

It really is good. You in some design major?

[north copper]

[steel hound]

Does UCLA release some decisions early like Berkeley?

[shrewd blade]

I have a 3.9 UW and 4.7 W, took 14 AP classes and the rest of my courses are all G/T (highest level course decides AP). Only got 3 total Bs all of HS (which I know is still disappointing) but the rest are As. Can someone provide me with some insight on how this will convert on the UC GPA scale?

[north copper]

https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/

Enter your grades into this

[elder pumice]

[elder pumice]

i am devoted to the uc's

[north copper]

fr

[dawn bluff]

so why do they want to see them if they dont care lmao

[north copper]

i get a ping everytime someone says something in #1050860010827173898 and #1051231428429496420

thats how devoted i am

[ashen flume]

bruh my gpa is lower cause im oos

[north copper]

sucks

2 be

u

[worn pelican]

if i was instate, mine would be a 4.79 😭 but they don't do honors or dual enrollment so i got a 4.04

oh well, context

[north copper]

even tho it doesnt technically count

[ashen flume]

yeah exact same

[north copper]

they'll still see the "honors" tag

[ashen flume]

but ive heard it counts for course rigor

big flaw in their system lmao

[north copper]

it is a flaw, but its not meant to benefit the oos or intls

[ashen flume]

i get that they prioritize in state but this is just a weird advantage, like they could just yield more in state instead

[north copper]

uc's are CA first

[ashen flume]

rather than this gpa boost scheme

[north copper]

yea

the A-G scaling is weird

[ashen flume]

so if you in CA, congrats

[north copper]

yeo

[ashen flume]

like you should be feeling extremely lucky

lmao

[worn pelican]

fr, and i don't understand the 8 AP point limit because once you go beyond 8, doesn't it lower your GPA

makes the gpa less useful imo

[rigid tulip]

pretty much every UC besides LA / Berk has a much higher acceptance rate OOS than in-state. 2-3 years ago it was like 80% for uci or smth, mostly because oos yield for non la/berk is low

[glossy turtle]

do ucs take admission updates for notable things

[north copper]

No updates. Only LOCIs and admissions appeals

[glossy turtle]

kk

[storm bridge]

Not really. Other universities prioritize in-state lot more, e.g. UT takes 90% in-state, GT and UIUC take high in-state, while UCs take almost half students out-of state.

[north copper]

where did u get that info

ab UCs taking half oos

[storm bridge]

it's 38% OOS, which is still quite high, compare to other universities

[north copper]

ok

[glossy turtle]

is that ucla or just ucs

i think because there are so many ucs, the most selective ucs have a much closer in state vs oos rate because they are selective for both since they know that they don't have a need to admit all in-states since otehr ucs can take those students asw

vs other state schools who are much easier with in state because they're like a singular school that has to meet a quota

[storm bridge]

that's an incorrect assumption - there're a ton of UT's but UT-Austin still takes 90% in-state.

[glossy turtle]

im form texas lol and no

UT has a 6% auto admit rule

which has to admit them to UT

75% of them have to be auto admits

[dawn bluff]

is this ucla

[storm bridge]

yes

[glossy turtle]

thats way more strict than other schools like UC where they have 9% auto admit but its to any uc school not a specific campus

[dawn bluff]

how come so few apps tho

they get around 150k

[storm bridge]

its at a detriment to california residents

[glossy turtle]

the other ut campuses dont coordinate admission like uc's do

[dawn bluff]

and how is oos rate > in state rate

[glossy turtle]

like they're each their own entity, they simply share the texas name

[storm bridge]

imagine if UC Berkeley and UCLA put same restriction as UT Austin

[glossy turtle]

yeah ik

[dawn bluff]

where did u get the document

[glossy turtle]

im saying ucs are way harder for in state and oos vs other state schools which are a bit easier for in state and harder for oos

[north copper]

can u send this link

[eager tide]

cuz they like to get that oos tuition

45k profit

more

[storm bridge]

agree mostly except that other state schools are a lot harder for oos vs in-state

[dawn bluff]

good to know my own state college values profits more lol

[eager tide]

yea it sucks 😭

[dawn bluff]

meanwhile gatech admits 40%

if i were georgia residency, i would def get in

[eager tide]

yea i wish they followed the ut/georgia thing

welp

[wise kindle]

^^^^^^^^^^

[elder pumice]

last year they did not

[wise kindle]

ahh

[coarse sun]

i keep seeing shit like this and i keep thinking how do ppl have the time

[north copper]

the video is fake

[coarse sun]

no but its not the first time ive seen smth like this

i saw some girl at UCSD and shes like

" a day at ucsd with me 🌸 "

and she went to like a million places and pilates and shit like that

studied

and shit like that

[north copper]

i might know that kid

[cedar heron]

Do you guys know about the UC Love Dating Sim

[north copper]

i have hahaha

isnt it releasing today?

[cedar heron]

YES

[north copper]

shi

whats the site

[cedar heron]

No UCSD though 💔

[north copper]

ik i saw

rip

[cedar heron]

https://olaycolay.itch.io/uc-love

They added Stanford as a romance-able character

[north copper]

they included riverside, but not sd

sounds ab right

[kindred crest]

uci looking fine

😭

[elder pumice]

under "buy gifts" it should be like
cost of attendance $15000

[prisma herald]

Tf is this lmao

I have time to kill rn so I guess I’ll give it a go 💀💀💀

[kindred crest]

i got bored

[lapis narwhal]

NO

[north copper]

yes

[elder pumice]

gave it a spin and the delivery minigame has me laughing my ass off

is the flyer thing legit because it's not my first time hearing about it

[north copper]

I have Mac

Can’t play

[elder pumice]

it runs in the browser no?

anyway you pilot one of the food delivery robots and try to avoid people throwing flyers at you

[north copper]

Does it

I saw download

Ooooooh the boys

Bots

Those are more prevalent at uci

Not really ucsd

Makes sense tho

[elder pumice]

is it true that random people try to hand you flyers at uc schools because i've heard many many people talk about it

[north copper]

YEA

Library walk

Ever day

Hella annoying

But u learn to ignore them

[elder pumice]

you should just take it, fold it into a paper airplane, and toss it

either way that's super funny that that's a quintessential part of the uc experience

[north copper]

Hahagaaaa

Hell bah

[elder pumice]

it's really easy to determine that the game is made by students because there are oh so many not so subtle jabs at administration

[north copper]

We all love to shit on the admin

Especially chancellor coleslaw

[elder pumice]

two of my robotics team alumni come back from ucsd to visit and the first thing they do is start ranting about khosla

[north copper]

Coleslaw

I might get in trouble

I submitted a short film to the ucsd fil fest

That shits on coleslaw

I hope he doesn’t come to the screening

[elder pumice]

if they allow avaneesh they'll allow you

worry not

is that guy still at ucsd i haven't kept track

[north copper]

oh yea hes still here

hes a menace

but he technically hasnt done anthing wrong here yet

all the shit happened at purdue

[abstract iron]

wtf

[lusty nebula]

wait does anyone have thei rportal

[low sapphire]

yeah

the email went to spam, you will be able to log in

[north copper]

UCLA forgot to encrypt their email, so everyones went to spam.
its been a few month by now though, so its probably alr deleted from ur spam
but u actually dont need the email. u can acess the portal by using ur 7 digit UC Application ID.. (u got this when u submitted the uc app)
u can login here:
https://bruins.admission.ucla.edu/myApplication/Login.aspx

[opaque gale]

did anyone get ucla email

[gritty sluice]

nope

[opaque gale]

really?

[lusty nebula]

thats it

[elder pumice]

why do colleges be emailing like that if we're just gonna be rejected anyway

[opaque gale]

i doubt mine means anything

never does

[gritty sluice]

welp. I guess im not getting in since they didn't send me that promotion

[opaque gale]

i don’t think it means anything

i’m not going to get in

[gritty sluice]

but then why didn't i get it 😢

it could be cause im international

and that promotion doesn't apply to me 🤷

[north copper]

its just marketing

[opaque gale]

damn

[elder pumice]

the vast majority of us will be rejected

[opaque gale]

sadness

[opaque gale]

mood

i will be included in that

[elder pumice]

i am completely sure that i will be rejected

[opaque gale]

i have no hope‼️

but tbh i have no hope for any of my decisions

[gritty sluice]

even ur safeties?

[dawn bluff]

idk if its true but is it true if colleges track if u click their emails

and the links in it?

if they do

i will click everything ucsd, ucla, and usc related

that shows up in my email

[north copper]

Private schools sometimes track demonstrated interest

So that means clicking emails and signing up for webinars

But the UCs don’t track demonstrated interest at all

[dawn bluff]

well ucsd sent me an email about internships and i rapidly clicked everything to ensure they know i am interested in them lol

ucsd is probably my most reachable school rn that could beat uiuc so i really want to get in

[north copper]

I mean

It won’t help

[lusty nebula]

got that email and had a little cute heart attack ❤️

[north copper]

You can check the common data sets

[dawn bluff]

but do u really trust them

[lusty nebula]

u guys looking at the common data set

while im looking at the uncommon data set

😎

[dawn bluff]

what

[lusty nebula]

have u guys unlocked the legendary data set yet

[gritty sluice]

Does this include Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, or Caltech

[north copper]

Bros listening to Conan grey

[north copper]

Idk. I doubt

[lusty nebula]

and what about it.

[dawn bluff]

its not marked

[north copper]

U gotta check the CDS

[dawn bluff]

so who knows

its also not marked for the year prior

[north copper]

Well UCs don’t track interest

It’s a known fact

[lusty nebula]

i demonsrated enough interest by writing 1400 words bffr

[gritty sluice]

they all say no, but could they be lying

[north copper]

They have more to loose by lying

It wouldn’t make sense

There’s no gain for them, the CDS speaks the truth and only the truth

[dawn bluff]

the gain is that they eliminate those who just show fake interest to boost their chances

but us smart people know to still pretend to love them

[lusty nebula]

the gain would be a higher yield rate probably

[north copper]

Do u think they really care

It’s not that deep

[lusty nebula]

oh

ok

[rotund tundra]

I didn’t get it either and I’m intl too

[north copper]

Intl sampling for Davis

[rotund tundra]

Davis #1 school in the nation

[rotund tundra]

All other unis are run by little girls

[north copper]

It’s underrated

[gritty sluice]

phew, looks like its not for internationals then

[rose pier]

I also didnt get it

[gritty sluice]

they're #1 for being a vet

[autumn halo]

The next email I get from Berkeley better be an admissions one

All the UC’s keep scaring me

W their stupid ass emails

[prisma herald]

Lol

[coarse sun]

im scared

yeah they included riverside but not sd cuz sd is socially dead and socially dead means having no love interest or anything like that 🤣

[coarse sun]

literally

[coarse sun]

forreal i might apply

nvm it wont let me

[sage junco]

yeah

[lusty nebula]
