[sage junco]

wagadoogy!

[dawn bluff]

i think its too late for that unfortunately

to be fair to all applicants, a lot of schools wont accept updates

[opaque gale]

nah u can still update

[sage junco]

where

[opaque gale]

on portal

or thru email

depends on school

[sage junco]

do UC's even care

[opaque gale]

nothing wrong w sending in stuff

nope

neither does usc

[dawn bluff]

usc doesnt accept updates

[sage junco]

USC cares bc theyre an NMSC school

so like

[dawn bluff]

they said on their blog

[sage junco]

ya but also they get automatically iupdated

bc i listed them as top choice

[dawn bluff]

wait does the org send updates to ur unis

[autumn halo]

Does UC schools accept updates

I can’t even see that on there

Portals

[dawn bluff]

email

[autumn halo]

hmmm

Is it too late

[dawn bluff]

i was denied by a few

[autumn halo]

By who

[dawn bluff]

ucla uci

ucsb and cal dont accept updates

[autumn halo]

Same…

It’s literally a month away

[pulsar yacht]

take the time to pick up a new hobby, find work, rekindle past friendships and general relationships you may have been neglecting, apply for scholarships (especially local ones), or work towards self-improvement, etc

inaction is a slow death

[autumn halo]

Happening rn to me

[grave mulch]

hello los angelers

how are yall doing

i dont know why i applied ucs

i cant even afford em

[north copper]

Location dox

[pulsar yacht]

oh my

benz eating that de neve food??? 😳

[north copper]

Only if

[eager tide]

whyd i get ghost pinged?

and whyd my comment get delted

bruh

[north copper]

no discussions ab emails in any of the uc threads

receiving an email is not a sign, and it doesnt really matter if everyone else here got it

[worldly lance]

anyone get UCLA email?

[cedar cedar]

lmao

[worldly lance]

i just read this

💀💀💀

my bad

[north copper]

lmao

[worldly lance]

i’m sorry😭

[worn pelican]

DiD EvErYoNe GeT THat EMaIl??,?,??,!?

[gritty sluice]

did they send out another email?

[ashen flume]

why another email

why moderating every little thing😭

[worn pelican]

It should be fine to discuss the email itself and what it entails

And not be like "omg it's a sign i got in" when it states in bold that it doesn't indicate such

[north copper]

yea but ppl arent doing that lol

u must be new here

[rose pier]

I didnt mention an email or even reference it so why are my msgs getting deleted then

[north copper]

what did u mention then

[rose pier]

I asked why I kept getting pinged

and it got deleted

[north copper]

idk why u were pinged

[worn pelican]

true

[opaque gale]

I didn’t do that though

I was just asking if people got it

I know it’s not a sign

It’s sent to everyone, it literally says that in the email

[opaque gale]

same here

lowkey kinda bs that my msgs got deleted lol

[ashen flume]

yeah like stop enforcing this type of moderation

we were having a basic convo nothing about signs or anything 😭, someone just asked if others got the email and if they should apply to the scholarship

[opaque gale]

^^^

[north copper]

🤨

ok no more deletinh

i need to be on my best behavior before im elected mod

[ashen flume]

yeah don’t, it’s annoying and hampering the goal of this server

[north copper]

chill

[opaque gale]

us when u delete our comments

[north copper]

im gonna delete that comment

[opaque gale]

don’t comment, benz might delete it

[north copper]

haha very funny

[ashen flume]

this dude thinks he’s the best and can start deleting random things that are related to the server’s aim and important

deleting thing is getting rlly annoying

[worn pelican]

Oh ew he's been deleting😭😭

[rose pier]

Mod abuse

[sonic basin]

[ashen flume]

don;t talk on here guys, he might delete you

[lethal imp]

In all honesty just like

It doesn’t matter if other people got the email if you’re not doing portal shit

If you’re not doing it then you can just ask about the email without the did anyone get it stuff

Cuts to the chase

[ashen flume]

but why are you guys moderating

[lethal imp]

?????

[ashen flume]

every little convo

like deleting messaes

for no reason

[lethal imp]

Do y’all talk about anything in here besides emails

[ashen flume]

we can talk about the emails if we want to lmao, like we might want more info about the scholaship

[lethal imp]

That’s what I said yeah

[ashen flume]

its basic stuff about the college

[opaque gale]

^

[ashen flume]

and you guys are deleting messages

[lethal imp]

I said to cut out the bs about people receiving it or not

[ashen flume]

and stuff

we can ask that if we want

[lethal imp]

No

[ashen flume]

we aren;t correlating that with stuff

lmao

[lethal imp]

It always leads to it

[ashen flume]

its like asking if someone got an interview

no

[lethal imp]

And you know how many posts I remove that follow that up with “and does that mean anything for my app”

[ashen flume]

the moderation is drifitng away from the aim of this server

[opaque gale]

yeah, we all know it’s not a message of admission

[north copper]

maybe i dont want to be mod

[lethal imp]

I’m sure you know all about that bud

[north copper]

im loosing braincells

[lethal imp]

This is very simple

Truly

I really do not see why we cannot shut our mouths about one simple thing

[ashen flume]

deleting important conversations that could affect one's choice to go to college, like applying to a scholarship

its just annoying

[lethal imp]

Like whether or not you got an email?

[ashen flume]

no someone literally asked if they should apply to it

[opaque gale]

okay carly it’s really not that deep man

[ashen flume]

and what it entails

and the mod deleted it lmao

[lethal imp]

I’d like to get everyone on the same page instead of booting people

[ashen flume]

booting us for asking yall not to delete important convos lmaoo

alright ig

[lethal imp]

Your email is not important

Get it together mate

You can’t both complain about an email and complain about life changing decisions

One or the other

[ashen flume]

bro nobody is saying its important but we were having an important convo about the scholarship and if one should apply

and what is entails

[north copper]

buddy

just use google

https://alumni.ucla.edu/scholarships/prospective-students/

this has all ur answers

[opaque gale]

freedom of speech tbh

[lethal imp]

Discord is a private company

[opaque gale]

what’s the point of this server if we can’t talk about whatever we need to

[ashen flume]

google totally has a human perspective huh? like the whole point of a2c is to get a human perspective

like

[north copper]

ok, use chat gpt

[lethal imp]

Again, you’re going way too far on this

[north copper]

u can talk to it

[sick arrow]

Broooooo

[ashen flume]

bro ur going too far

[lethal imp]

No one’s banning you from getting a perspective

[ashen flume]

saying use google and stuff

are you fr

[north copper]

yes

[ashen flume]

like the point of this server

is to

[lethal imp]

Benz chill a bit

[ashen flume]

get a firsthand persptive

[north copper]

[lethal imp]

You can discuss the content of emails. You cannot discuss whether or not said email has an effect on your decision

If something happens here where someone feels their messages are being unfairly deleted or members aren’t following the rules, ping myself or a mod so we can handle it in real time

Sound good?

[ashen flume]

nobody was talking about that lmao

[lethal imp]

What was this then

[ashen flume]

you guys deleted important info about scholarships, someone was asking whether or not they should apply, what it entails, benefits, etc. and a person at ucla currently who received it was responding

its just so annoying

all applicants could've benefitted from that

[lethal imp]

Gonna empathize the second part of this then

Mod as in server mod

[ashen flume]

bro based on what yall did, id rather not have mods called and start deleting important information randomly that people could benefit from

[lethal imp]

The difference is it would be a mod who’s had zero involvement before

I haven’t

At least much until now

[opaque gale]

yeah i agree

[lethal imp]

If you don’t wanna ping that’s fine, but I can’t promise anything’s gonna change

[opaque gale]

and people may like to know whether it’s beneficial or not

[lethal imp]

Because that’s not how the system for these channels works

[opaque gale]

i just don’t get why asking about the emails bothers you guys

it’s just harmless messages in a megathread

[ashen flume]

yeah especially a basic convo about it

[grave mulch]

WOOOO DRAMAAAA

[lethal imp]

I stated earlier the issue is “does it have an effect on my decision” and other discussion is fine

[opaque gale]

bruh it’s not- our messages our just getting deleted, don’t make this more than it is

[ashen flume]

lmao not even drama, just mods deleting important infomation

[grave mulch]

🍿

[elder pumice]

can we create an !email command just to state that emails confer no chance of admission

[ashen flume]

for no reason

bro the thing the deleted messages weren't even related to that

they were basic questions

about the conversation

and someone was replying to them too

[lethal imp]

I’m going to clarify our system for megathreads

[mighty plaza]

theres nothing in the rules against asking about an email so idk why it would be deleted

[lethal imp]

I think that will help you see why I want you to ping

[grave mulch]

ITS PEOPLE ARGUING BRO THIS IS FUN TO WATCHHH

[turbid lagoon]

[opaque gale]

lmao i should stop i don’t wanna get banned

[elder pumice]

at the same time deleting messages without any notification or indication is not something i think is the best way to do things

it creates confusion

[sick arrow]

Yeah it breaks the convo

[opaque gale]

SAMIAMI W TAKE

[sick arrow]

Ig there should be a msg or smthn if you delete messages

[opaque gale]

we love @mighty plaza

[sick arrow]

Although it would be better if you just leave the messages

[mighty plaza]

ily riya

[lethal imp]

If it ties with portal astrology stuff then it’s in the rules

But yes not all email stuff is

[opaque gale]

Okay, if you really want to delete messages lol then please clarify

[lethal imp]

I’m typing rn

[mighty plaza]

but its not portal astrology imo

[turbid lagoon]

[grave mulch]

[lethal imp]

• Over 3,400 people have visited the over 100 forum posts in the #1050620654485000213 channel in the last 28 days. We don’t have the mod power for that, which is why we enlisted helpers (guardians)
• Both mods and guardians have a claim system for threads. As of now, your thread has largely been watched by helpers
• with that in mind, it would make sense to ping a mod for help as they’ll have a fresh perspective on the situation

I’m basically telling you to call the manager

[mighty plaza]

arent you the manager

[ashen flume]

yeah

and why you deleting stuff

if you're not the manager

its annoying

[lethal imp]

Yeah, and I told people to ping me next time. But they didn’t seem to want to which is why I just attempted to clarify

[brave finch]

you could also talk to your personnel abt this issue yk

instead of blaming it on us

[lethal imp]

You’re both at fault

[brave finch]

cuz i feel like it's important that the mod team is also aware of the rules and limitations

[ashen flume]

huh?

[sick arrow]

Just for asking about an email?

[ashen flume]

yeah exactly

[opaque gale]

yep!

[grave mulch]

[ashen flume]

and the other dude tried to ban people

for having a conversation

[elder pumice]

i hold that indiscriminately deleting messages without prior warning is a harmful measure

[lethal imp]

He doesn’t have ban power

[ashen flume]

he said ask google

and chatgpt

and other useless stuff

[opaque gale]

how fucking absurd tbh, if at least you’re going to try deleting messages, please tell us before hand! because then people are confused

[north copper]

when did i say this lmao

[sick arrow]

Like sure it does not mean an acceptance but still its not like everyone got the email

[ashen flume]

^^ especially internationals

[mighty plaza]

i just dont understand why we got to delete messages when they arent against the rules

[ashen flume]

they could be curious

clearly state it in the rules if you guys want to do this

[opaque gale]

bruv

this thread have tons of messages

[ashen flume]

is that the rules

thread

[opaque gale]

some people did not see that

[mighty plaza]

ive never seen that

[ashen flume]

i dont see it in the rules thread

and also

[mighty plaza]

how tf am i supposed to know

[ashen flume]

we can't see the real

[opaque gale]

EXACTLY

[ashen flume]

cause you deleted them alllll

[lethal imp]

portal astrology

[ashen flume]

literally deleted the convo about

[sick arrow]

This is email

Not portal

[lethal imp]

Emails can tie into that

[ashen flume]

the scholarship info

yeah

no

[opaque gale]

BUT THATS INFERRED

[ashen flume]

it doesn;t say imail

[lethal imp]

Portal astrology is the title of it

[ashen flume]

its not portal

[mighty plaza]

how is that portal astrology

[opaque gale]

de facto vs. de jure

[mighty plaza]

its an email

[ashen flume]

ur making up stuff at this point

[opaque gale]

people can imply it a variety of ways

but it’s not expressly written in the laws

[ashen flume]

and your showing 1 person's comment

[opaque gale]

if you’re gonna get legal get through me first

[mighty plaza]

subjective vs objective

[ashen flume]

not the 40+ messages

[turbid lagoon]

Y’all is it that srs

[grave mulch]

[ashen flume]

that yall deleted

of a basic convo

lmao

[turbid lagoon]

Like let’s bffr

[north copper]

speculation

[sick arrow]

Its not

[lethal imp]

I would really hope I wouldn’t need to explain to you that just because it came in email form doesn’t make it an exception

[sick arrow]

This is just about the portal

[opaque gale]

naw it’s just a bit dumb

[grave mulch]

this argument is fun to watch

[elder pumice]

here's my take
portal astrology is bad, because messing around with systems can genuinely get people rescinded
emails are less harmful, at worst people create false expectations for themselves

[ashen flume]

bruh this isn

[grave mulch]

what kinda email was it and what was the convo about?

[elder pumice]

at the same time it is misinformation and should be dealt with

[ashen flume]

even related to portal

lmao

[elder pumice]

but not by deleting messages

[grave mulch]

someone catch me up

[ashen flume]

the guy posted the definition

[elder pumice]

that's not the way to go

[sick arrow]

Scholarship application

[turbid lagoon]

Ain’t no point arguing wit dem 😭

[lethal imp]

I’ll be leaving for now as progress hasn’t been made. Lmk if anyone wants to make any later

[opaque gale]

Agreed

[ashen flume]

basically the mods deleted a convo about someone asking about what the scholarship entails and if they should apply or not etc

which could've been important for many people

and called it portal astrology or something idek

[opaque gale]

They’ve been deleting other stuff too and no one even knows what it is at this point

[turbid lagoon]

Ye I get dat much but clearly if that’s how they feel the most they’ll do is change the context of the rules and apologize

[ashen flume]

exactly

but one of the mod was like don't ask that stuff search it on google and chatgpt

or something

and the other one was talking about bans

[turbid lagoon]

All in all no one life gon change jus use A2C how it meant to be yk

[sick arrow]

Well you should research on your own

[turbid lagoon]

Issa tool

Nun more

[sick arrow]

But to ask a human is not wrong at all

[ashen flume]

yeah but a firsthand experience

from a ucla current student who got the scholasrhip

is way more helpful

thats the whole point of a2c

lmaooo

[teal violet]

GET OFF DISCOR

ITS NICE OUTSIDE

[elder pumice]

instead of deleting messages, notify the person that emails do not confer any chance of admission

simple as that imo, no one gets mad

[grave mulch]

did they talk about chance of admissions doe

[ashen flume]

no nothing related to that

[opaque gale]

not in wisconsin grant

[grave mulch]

huh

[ashen flume]

it was like

if someone from ucla has gotten this scholarship can you tell me what it entails and if i should apply, pros and cons basically

nothing related to emails

or anthing

[grand viper]

I lost all my braincells reading this convo 💀

[ashen flume]

and now the ucla perspective is gone

[grave mulch]

huh

[grand viper]

I don't think I can go to UCLA anymore

[grave mulch]

[grand viper]

Oh damn :((

It's ok, you have other options always 🙂

Because it’s another reason to not go to ucla

Anyways

[dusky badge]

As an outsider, I’d honestly recommend a platform for people to voice their opinions

This is a big thing on every thread

[north copper]

😂

[lethal imp]

Unfortunately I tried reasoning with them for 20 minutes

[dusky badge]

We need an actual discussion

[north copper]

wait riley

Also @north copper I got into some slay unis

Ty for essay help a while back

[north copper]

niceeee

[lethal imp]

If it’s a suggestion then #💬-suggestion-voting exists, but if it’s an issue that’s generally better for modmail I feel like bc you can’t entirely vote on issues if I get your definition correctly

[dusky badge]

Yeah suggestion

[grand viper]

I better get into UCSD tho, it's a safety

[north copper]

gl w that

Top of #1050860849713127486

[north copper]

ontop of the ucb thread

FUCk

[grand viper]

Why do we even call UCB UCB

should start calling it cal

[brave finch]

no way

[brave finch]

Please do not refer to Berkeley as "UCB." This is not the proper way to refer to the University of California's original and flagship campus. Cal, Berkeley or UC Berkeley are all proper and acceptable ways to say it. UCB, on the other hand, is not.

As the system's most prestigious and respected campus, we feel that it is important to honor and maintain an appropriate level of respect for our university's name. We feel that "UCB" cheapens our brand and doesn't emphasize the incredible prestige associated with Berkeley.

While it may be acceptable to refer to all other UC campuses in initialisms due to their lack of recognition and prestige, this is not acceptable for the flagship and most well-known campus, and we therefore request that you cease using the name "UCB" to refer our school. Thank you.

[grand viper]

LMAO

[north copper]

u forgot the first line

the best line

[brave finch]

what's the first line

[north copper]

PSA to UCSD students from the Berkeley community

Recently a meme was shared to our subeddit outlining a dismissive and disrespectful act that, often, many non-Berkeley students are guilty of.

[brave finch]

💀💀

[grand viper]

Lmao

Has anyone finished alumni scholarship

[cedar heron]

I finished the general application but not the freshmen one

With the two supplemental questions

[ashen flume]

guys be careful they might delete you for talking about it LMAO

it might be portal astrology to them

[prisma shadow]

uhh

[grand viper]

lol

[grand viper]

Gotcha

[prisma shadow]

why did they do

[ashen flume]

nobody knows they called it portal astrology

or something

when it wasn't even related to "is this a sign or something"

[prisma shadow]

But I just asked smth

And I wanted to know if other ppl got it

[ashen flume]

yeah idk what they're doing

its a messed up system rn

mods are acting all powerful and deleting everything

[kindred crest]

i dont look at this thread for 2 days

and messages flood

nice

im caught up with the discussion and lowkey unfair that messages like convos abt scholies get deleted

for intl students, information like that is super important

we dont have human perspective to get around us, a2c becomes our only source

and predicting that the discussion of the email will lead to portal astrology is lowkey wrong

if someone does lead the convo to portal astrology, delete that message

not the other imp ones

[north copper]

I can assure you that nothing important was deleted.

I deleted a few speculation questions well before they could even become conversations.

I will admit, I may have deleted someones question about the contents of the scholarship, which I apologize.

[rose pier]

bruh you guys were delting msgs even if it wasnt related to the email

this is such bs

[north copper]

i think we can leave it at this

its not that deep

[rose pier]

yeah it is, deleting msgs randomly just causes more misinformation bcs the convos make no sense

[north copper]

There wasn’t a convo to begin with

[rose pier]

there was except every single msg for two days was deleted

[grand viper]

Wait so guys does the alumni scholarship guaranteed acceptance?!

[north copper]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1050862205832265790/1073298408305066004/STOP_Green_A2C.png

[grand viper]

💀💀💀

[kindred crest]

accepted and its alright, mistakes happen

lets not have it repeated again

that'd suck

[rose pier]

you are probably trolling

but the answer is in the email

"Please note that this invitation to apply for the Alumni Scholarship does not constitute an offer of admission nor does it infer any likelihood of admission."

[ashen flume]

it’s extremely annoying if you delete messages

especially important ones

for the community including international students

and according to the rules anybody can talk about the email, it doesn’t fall under portal speculation

so please stop and report the mod that does this before they start deleting more important messages that could’ve helped others

[ashen flume]

no we can not just leave it lmao, it is deep and important especially to the people that missed out on the ucla person’s perspective on if they should apply or not

[north copper]

It blows my mind how you can’t connect the dots

Whatever, best of luck with ucla

[rose pier]

the only dots youve mentioned is use chatgpt and google it

my mind is indeed blown

[rugged raptor]

y’all it’s a discord server and a message about an email why is everyone so dramatic 😃

[worn pelican]

what did i walk into

[grave mulch]

You gotta admit it was funny

I love a2c

You get to see chaos everyday

[rose pier]

lol

[ashen flume]

LMAOOOOO

frr

[grand viper]

yep lol

[pulsar flame]

Omg this is so goofy

Drama in the UCLA chat

[twin cipher]

can i just ask what the difference is between asking about the ucla scholarship email and like, the notre dame merit scholarship email?

for people who know the context of both

not trying to re-start the argument XD just wanna know what’s fine and what’s not

[tawdry drift]

off topic but is the decision date out?

[north copper]

Not officially, but most likely the 17th

hope this means we get in

[north copper]

Did u read it?

[white sable]

no

[north copper]

It’s cutting ur chances

[white sable]

AH

[north copper]

More seats for instate, less for OOS and intl

[white sable]

that's not very cash money of them : /

fuck berkley is doing that too

goddamnit

[north copper]

Intls never had a better chance

[white sable]

ya

[north copper]

They want ur $$$

[white sable]

ik

[north copper]

But now the state is offsetting that slightly

[white sable]

Colleges are a buisness first and foremost

it's all for that sweet sweet endowment

[north copper]

Real

: /

the horrors of late stage capitalism

[gritty linden]

[errant root]

for the ucla alumni scholarship application, for the personal statement section, can we reuse our personal insight statement as our answer or does it have to be a whole new essay?

[elder pumice]

iirc finaid and admissions are different teams so they won't be familiar

but maybe i wouldn't risk it

[worn pelican]

the scholarship isn't binding right?

like if u get it u don't HAVE to go to ucla in the odd chance you do win it

[elder pumice]

ucla would be more than happy to offer your seat to someone else

150k applicants, mind you

[dawn dew]

WHAT

[elder pumice]

145,882 to be exact

[dawn dew]

no way wtf thats crazy

[dawn bluff]

it went down

be happy

[elder pumice]

welcome to the land of uc numbers

it's college admissions... en masse

[dawn dew]

how many ppl get the supplemental questionnaire

[elder pumice]

aka your apps get pushed through the system in mere minutes

[elder pumice]

10% ish i think

[dawn dew]

so 14.5k lmao

[elder pumice]

some people think it means you're borderline, this has not been confirmed

[dawn dew]

how nice

[elder pumice]

honestly i have a feeling most of ucla's applicants are schmucks

they lack the stats but decided to apply because hey it's ucla

[dawn dew]

hopefully!

my stats are lowkey mid so idk but im hoping the supplemental carries me

[elder pumice]

i'm as good as auto reject but best of luck to you

california dreaming

[dawn dew]

im expecting rejection

[elder pumice]

everyone is

a lucky few will make it, and so far... you might be one of them

[pulsar yacht]

even less

for the incoming fall 2021 class, they sent it to around 3-4% of applicants

source: https://senate.universityofcalifornia.edu/_files/committees/boars/boars-cr-report-may-2022.pdf

they had just over 135k applicants that year iirc

[warped dune]

hey guys! this is just a random question, but do your portals for UCLA say for application status: application received? like is that what it’s supposed to be showing?

[elder pumice]

yes

[warped dune]

thanks

[stone echo]

This is completely unrelated but what's the tweak for your status bar signals

[pulsar yacht]

linear for status bar

and then apply them thru snowboard

[north copper]

U jail broke ur phone

[pulsar yacht]

yeah

[north copper]

Makes sense

[sick arrow]

Compeletly off topic, but why do ppl still jail break iphones? Doesn't it void warranty or something

[stone echo]

Nope

Besides nowadays' jailbreaks are completely reversible

[pulsar yacht]

that’s true

but it still does void warranty

provided they find out

so just make sure they don’t find out

[worn pelican]

when are decisions going to / speculate to come out (ping me when replying pls)?

[north copper]

likely the 17th

bro really posted this question in every UC thread

[worn pelican]

and every other non ivy I have in ED thread

“you belong at UCLA!”

[wary wren]

Hi, I wrote an essay for the UCLA scholarship, anyone willing to review it? I’ll review one back.

[north copper]

Ask in #📝-essays as well

[stone harbor]

for the alumni scholarship

can we reuse/extend our piqs, or do the scholarship readers have access to our orginal application?

i dont want to write about the same thing, but at the same time i have nothing else to write about 💀

[arctic rover]

you can use your piqs they don't have access to them :))

[wary wren]

So I hate to be that person but the alumni scholarship is due 3/2 at 11:59pm PST right? Just want to make sure I don’t get locked out tonight lol.

[opaque gale]

i did not get an email

[stone harbor]

can i just copy paste my common app?

[gritty sluice]

if it fits with the prompt

[stone harbor]

yeah

[dawn dew]

When is the scholly due

I’m being lazy as hell I don’t want to do it rn

[shell frigate]

i got into berkeley but honestly this seems more chill

ucla <3

[stone harbor]

tmrw night, 1159 pm

[dawn dew]

NO FUCKIBG WAY

SHITTYTTTT

[stone harbor]

yep

id completely forgotten about it until this morning as well

😭

[elder pumice]

paste in a piq boom done

[stone harbor]

true

[cunning light]

what is this for

[stone harbor]

im sorta stuck on this though

[stone harbor]

theres a general application

[elder pumice]

anyway i'm not doing it bc it's not worth for me just to get rejected

[stone harbor]

and then there's the specific scholarship application w two more 500word essays 💀

[cunning light]

ohh got it

so thats the scholarship app?

[cunning glacier]

just submitted my supplements 😭 last minute

[rugged raptor]

um

we have 24 hours left lol

[solar cedar]

yikes

[pulsar yacht]

ucla still sending out supp requests? i’m surprised considering how late into the process it is

[tawdry drift]

i wrote the essay but dont know where to submit

[kindred crest]

what are these supp requests? are they being asked randomly to be submitted?

[dawn dew]

the supplemental questionnaire is requested for <10% of applicants; it’s not random it’s for ppl they’re like on the fence about or need more info

[kindred crest]

ohh i see

thankss

[stone harbor]

for the extracurriculars section for the alumni scholarship
if it was a summer activity, do we put the school year before or the school year after?

[cunning glacier]

mine was due at midnight

[boreal wraith]

Up to 15% of applicants receive a request for supplemental information in the form of an essay to help admissions officers make a decision on their application

[cunning glacier]

i think it was only up to 10 can receive it

or is the max 15?

[thorn agate]

Is there a alumni scholorship once we get accepted to ucla?

What are some of the scholarships

[stone harbor]

is the application glitching for anyone else? it won't let me delete any of my activities

[thorn agate]

Isn’t it too late to change ur application

[prisma shadow]

what is the general application

isn't it due today

[stone harbor]

yeah its due today night

[stone harbor]

there's still time

[prisma shadow]

is this the only applicatoin

or do u have to submit the others too?

[stone harbor]

no that's just the general application

each scholarship has its own specific supplements that you also have to submit

[stone harbor]

is anyone else having the same issues?

[prisma shadow]

are there separate essays to each scholarship

[stone harbor]

yeah

two more 500-word essays

[prisma shadow]

alright

but u can only apply for the freshman alumni scholarship?

as an current applicant

also should u answer this idk why they're asking this:
What other colleges or universities are you considering?

[stone harbor]

if you're going to be a freshman next year, then yeah

[prisma shadow]

but there are a lot of other recomeneded scholarships

[stone harbor]

idk ig so, it seems weird that theyre asking for that ngl

[stone harbor]

it depends from person-to-person

you will have to check manually

[prisma shadow]

ah ok

[boreal wraith]

up to 15% but the actual amount seems to be less

[cunning glacier]

Ohhh I see

[cunning glacier]

found this:

You can find an overview of the UCLA admissions process here. A general summary of supplemental review is:

4. Supplemental Review. A subset of applicants to the College of Letters >and Sciences who went through Regular or Final Review may be referred for Supplemental Review. Readers during the Regular Review may recommend applicants for Supplemental Review if they believe that they cannot score the applicant on the basis of the information contained in the application or if they believe that the applicant deserves special consideration because of personal circumstances reflected in the application. UARS staff members decide which of the referred applications will in fact be given Supplemental Review. From the applicants who have been selected for Supplemental Review, UARS solicits additional information about their circumstances, an update on their academic performance, and letters of recommendation. Based on whatever additional information comes in and the original application, UARS staff assign a Supplemental Review Score to the application using the same 11-point scale was is used in Final Review. All applicants who receive a holistic rank of 2.25 or better in Supplemental Review are admitted at this stage. A very small number of those who receive a holistic rank of 2.5 or worse (< 1 percent) were also admitted in 2008.

That holistic score scale is the same used in regular reviews, so basically you're getting a chance to submit your application again. You should take a look at the statistical model of admissions in this paper if you have time. If you don't have time, I would suggest emphasizing any "challenges" that you face in reaching college, as well as:

Personal qualities of the applicant, including leadership ability, character, motivation, tenacity, initiative, originality, creativity, intellectual independence, responsibility, insight, maturity, and demonstrated concern for others and for the community.

was on reddit

[storm bridge]

Only 150 students receive UCLA Alumni Scholarship: is it really worth it writing a 500 word essay and filling an application ?

[north copper]

really

[storm bridge]

yeah, you think it's worth it?

[sick arrow]

Only 10% of students who apply to ucla get in

If it is worth applying to it
