[cerulean girder]

Guys should I go to UCLA or USC?

[hasty hornet]

I am already scared for next year as a junior reading this

[cedar heron]

Whats more affordable for u

[cerulean girder]

Also gonna ask on the USC thread so my answers aren’t biased

[frozen horizon]

I got waitlisted 😭

[prime ibex]

Go to USC

[cerulean girder]

I got the quarter for USC and am oos for UCLA

So they’re =

[prime ibex]

I’m waitlisted at UCLA go to USC so we get a spot

[cedar heron]

Most likely USC then

[cerulean girder]

Bettt lol

[cedar heron]

OOS UCLA very little chance of aid

[cerulean girder]

I’m not getting any more aid from USC either lol

The cost would be the exact same

[prime ibex]

Go to USC go to USC

[humble socket]

quarter tuition?

[onyx isle]

I applied ucla to spite my sister soz

[cerulean girder]

Ye so I’d have to pay 45k for USC and 45k for UCLA (tuition wise)

[prime ibex]

Go to USC

[opaque gale]

ur username a whole mood

im depressed tooo

[cedar heron]

Go to USC yeah

I think its more worth it if it costs the same

[onyx isle]

i got 3 rejections today i'm actually over it

[cedar heron]

Better opportunities bc smaller school

[marble topaz]

same

[prime ibex]

GO TO USC GIVE ME A WAITLIST SPOT AGAHAGHAGAHHHHHH

[cerulean girder]

👍

Alr thanjs

[marble topaz]

[cedar heron]

Smaller school = more focus on students = easier to land opportunities and network

[cerulean girder]

I got in EA lol

[humble socket]

ohh i thought oos uc tuition was like 70k

[cerulean girder]

That might be total

[prime ibex]

USC USC GO TROJANS

[humble socket]

[cerulean girder]

International Relations

[cedar heron]

Yeah USC for sure imo

[wide tide]

[prime ibex]

I’ve given up I’m coping

[cerulean girder]

Thanks 🙏

[humble socket]

[cedar heron]

Hope you like usc…you should also visit both campuses and see which one u like better if u can

[cerulean girder]

Nah manifesting my spot goes to you

[wide tide]

Agreed

[cerulean girder]

I probably will

[humble socket]

but also i didn’t rlly like the usc area when i visited

[cerulean girder]

I’ll plan a trip in April to Cali

April Bc I gotta see if I need to add Berkeley to the list 🙏

[late citrus]

I don’t even get to say this anymore

[unborn nova]

hoping kids who got into ucla get into ivies

[prime ibex]

HOPING PRAYING

[unborn nova]

so the wl clears 💀

[prime ibex]

PRAYING HOPING GOOD GOD

[cerulean girder]

Same!

[cedar heron]

Yeah usc is right next to the freeway 😭 ucla has a more classier feel to it imo

[prime ibex]

NO IT DOESNT

[cedar heron]

LITERALLY PLS 😭

[elder pumice]

i'm thinking about declining my ucla wl

[cerulean girder]

And ngl the campus is more beautiful imo

[prime ibex]

USC IS SO MUCH BETTER GO THERE

[bold wadi]

anyone get in?

[prime ibex]

NO UCLA IS UGLY YOU DONT WANNA GO

[cerulean girder]

Such cap

[late citrus]

I still wonder how they’re not like, switched

[cedar heron]

Also its super expensive there

[prime ibex]

Give me wl spot

[cedar heron]

Westwood most expensive area

[late citrus]

I would expect USC to be in Westwood and UCLA on the highway

[cerulean girder]

UCLA might have the most beautiful college campus in the country

[lapis umbra]

Oop waitlisted

[cedar heron]

RIGHT

[prime ibex]

No it doesn’t it’s super ugly

[late citrus]

Beverly Hills is more expensive

[cedar heron]

IT MAKES MORE SENSE

[bold wadi]

thats cope

[prime ibex]

Shhh I want him to decline acceptance so wl spot opens up

[cedar heron]

In 2019 it ranked the most expensive neighborhood for rent outside of manhattan

So…

[late citrus]

Oh for rent

Yeah I figure

[cedar heron]

Idk if yall wanna go there

[late citrus]

Pretty sure we have higher avg home value

[cedar heron]

Im gonna commute if i get in from waitlist

Which is very unlikely but

Oh well 😭

[rose pier]

what is ucla waitlist acceptance rate

[cedar heron]

2% based on 2021 data

[prime ibex]

Nonexistent

[late citrus]

You don’t want to do that I promise you

[prime ibex]

Treat it like a rejection

[dawn bluff]

did u get into sd?

[severe crest]

[dawn bluff]

[rose pier]

I didnt apply undeclared so idk how I got it

[rose pier]

[dawn bluff]

usc and ucsb still needs to come out. i opted in to uci and ucsd wl. if i get accepted not sure if i will go

[rose pier]

[dawn bluff]

[rose pier]

gtech is so nice for instaters

[dawn bluff]

[rose pier]

[late citrus]

I fucking stepped in a cup of old homeless man piss

Can this day get any worse

My entire right foot and leg smells like piss

[onyx isle]

[onyx isle]

of course

[unborn nova]

then clearly ur friend ain’t a baddie too

[onyx isle]

oh catch it ucla

[steep socket]

i got waitlisted

which was shocking

[storm bridge]

which is better - ucla or ut-austin?

[autumn dock]

waitlisted lingcs

[north copper]

In Beverly Hills

[late citrus]

I’m in Westwood rn

[north copper]

Fun

[late citrus]

This is honestly shameful for such an area

[cedar heron]

😭

Benz you were waitlisted for SD right?

[north copper]

Correct

[cedar heron]

How was your experience

[north copper]

Of

[cedar heron]

of being waitlisted

[opaque gale]

wait for LA waitlist do we write loci

and do we post midyears straight into that box?

[cold shadow]

i got accepted, but i dont know if they give merit scholarships. im in florida though so its a lot to pay 40k a year out of state

[cerulean girder]

Same! Also from Florida!!!

[dark merlin]

Ayo I got into the exact same major, congrats!! Yeah money’s gonna be an issue for me too, my EFC is full pay 💀

[cedar heron]

Yes basically

[cold shadow]

haha yeah im deciding between UF honors or UCLA but obviously uf is the cheaper option

[storm bridge]

which is better school in general, ucla or ut-austin, and which is better school for computer science?

[cerulean girder]

YOOO I’M ALSO DECIDING BETWEEN UF HONORS AND UCLA DAS CRAZY (Also USC lol)

Which is around the same as UCLA cost wise

[cold shadow]

do you know where scholarship info is?

like to check if we got merit

[cerulean girder]

I don’t think they’ve come out yet tbh

Like regents?

[cold shadow]

whats regents

[cerulean girder]

I think it’s like the big merit scholly

[cold shadow]

oh

Might be in the letter they send us

lol

[broken kettle]

Welcome ya’ll

[worn pelican]

uf honors

ucla is uhh

71k coa

oos

💀

[cerulean girder]

I’m lowkey leaning towards honors

My only concern is that UF doesn’t really have an international relations program

[worn pelican]

ooh IR, where else are you waiting on

[cedar heron]

what major were you accepted under?

[plush umbra]

rankings will say ucla, but depends on major and region etc

ut austin is rly rly good at cs

ucla ain’t bad either

but they r diff in salaries culture placement cost etc

[storm bridge]

hmm which is better from getting job placements?

and maybe from research perspective

[plush umbra]

ut is acc ranked higher for cs , just found out

[gentle pier]

defo ucla lol

[storm bridge]

thanks

[plush umbra]

ut has better jobs I think buttt they’re mostly Texas area jobs

[midnight hornet]

what would you say between ut turing and caltech

[plush umbra]

while ucla is cali

so ur preference there

[storm bridge]

yeah but most tech jobs are in SF bay area or Austin

[plush umbra]

ut

[thin surge]

usc is like 20k more expensive sticker price 👀

[plush umbra]

program ranked higher and more spending money

[plush umbra]

caltech is better no question but very diff schools

[midnight hornet]

true i hope fin aid is decent tho

[plush umbra]

u can’t rly compare them, the schools r totally diff

[thin surge]

research perspective? For cs??

[plush umbra]

most ppl could not go to caltech too small too “nerdy” no culture or fun yk

[storm bridge]

yes

[thin surge]

Do you plan on going a research route for cs

[storm bridge]

cs/data science/sciences in general

[thin surge]

Oh data science

[storm bridge]

yes

[plush umbra]

yea and ucla does send to sf they r more in la area

[thin surge]

Ucla has to have a much broader research band and larger research output

[plush umbra]

lots of research in it

[thin surge]

Eh most Data Science jobs don’t go research route

data science major here

[plush umbra]

oh yea ik

i thought it was abt cs

[thin surge]

yea CS there’s prob more

[plush umbra]

if ur deciding between ucla and ut, ut for cs is better but compare cultures and stuff

[gentle pier]

when does UCLA fin aid come out?

[plush umbra]

ut is now a sec school w big sporting culture etc, it’s more chill too

ucla is diff, not big sports and much more work hard play hard type thing (cali kid try hard yk)

[thin surge]

yea

Schools can vary a lottt

def am gonna try to visit to feel the vibes

[plush umbra]

yea def go visit them, u can’t decide online

and different locations like downtown austin vs suburban la

[thin surge]

yea huge different lmao

[sullen topaz]

is ucla campus safe

[plush umbra]

like for me id take ut, more of my type school but everyone’s diff

[mighty plaza]

rejected bye bitches

[plush umbra]

fr

[cedar heron]

Its LA but the neighborhood is pretty nice and classy

[wild drift]

right next to bel air

but la is always a little sussy

[broken kettle]

100%

Westwood is usually pretty good too

[plush umbra]

yea nice area

[broken kettle]

Much better than the area around USC

[storm bridge]

sec school?

[plush umbra]

everyone hates on usc when most ppl stay on campus and it’s fine there

[broken kettle]

On campus USC is chilling

[plush umbra]

yea, they just joined , well technically starting in 2024

[storm bridge]

what does sec school mean?

[plush umbra]

they switched conferences

athletics conference

it impacts school culture and spirit and stuff

like most sec schools r and act a certain way

like pac 12 is very diff from them which ucla is in rn until they switch next yr to big 10

[plush umbra]

lol see usc is fine ppl hate too much

[glossy turtle]

UT >>> UCLA

🥱

[plush umbra]

yessir ^

[cedar heron]

USC is pretty good

[dawn dew]

[thin surge]

[cedar heron]

I’m pretty sure

[dawn dew]

[prime urchin]

[stray wind]

[main pike]

[tawdry wind]

ok bye guys! i didn't get in this school is canceled

[prime urchin]

[stray wind]

[prime urchin]

[prime urchin]

OMG SAME

[stray wind]

WHATT omg

[prime urchin]

AHHH

[tawdry wind]

[stray wind]

did u do pure cs?

[dawn dew]

I wonder if cal will let me in

[prime urchin]

we are the same people!

YES

WBU

[stray wind]

LITERALLY

[tawdry wind]

i had a great interview so i convinced myself i'm gonna get in

[stray wind]

noo i did cs ling LOL

[prime urchin]

AWW

BUT STILL

EEEK

[stray wind]

but pure cs is crazy omg

like u are so cracked

[prime urchin]

ahhhhh😭😭

r u instate or oos??

[stray wind]

wait can i pm u my insta😭

[prime urchin]

cuz oos so expensiveeee

[stray wind]

oos i’m from nj

yeah ughh

[prime urchin]

ooooo dancy

and yes!!

[main pike]

recruiters will probably think CS+X is a double major so i see it as a win :)

[dawn dew]

wait wtf ucla portal isnt working for me

[stray wind]

that’s what i’ve been sayinggg but my parents are so annoying abt the prestige lmao

[main pike]

i got in for cs ling too :00

[stray wind]

OMG SLAY

we love linguistics

[dawn dew]

nvm it fixed

[storm bridge]

why do you say that?

[main pike]

uiuc my top choice so far and idt im getting into anything better loll so im likely gonna go

[storm bridge]

UIUC CS+X?

[main pike]

yeah

[stray wind]

yeah this is my mindset rn

[storm bridge]

hmm but CS+X is not in engineering school

[stray wind]

unless gt🙏🙏🙏

[main pike]

i got deferred for regular cs gt

[stray wind]

the classes are tho, just not the degree as a whole 😭

[stray wind]

same

[main pike]

omg

[glossy turtle]

it is

[main pike]

we're like the same

[stray wind]

so scared for march 24th

[main pike]

person

[stray wind]

FR

[prime urchin]

me toooo

ahhh

and umich

whenever that comes out

[main pike]

did u get deferred from usc too

[stray wind]

i hope we all get into gt 🙏🙏🙏

omg i didn’t apply to umich or usc lol

[storm bridge]

CS+X students take 30-40% X and humanities classes, so they don't take as many upper division CS electives like operating systems etc

[prime urchin]

ahhh umich is so expensive so tbh i wont be mad if i dont get in

[main pike]

loll rip we still twinning

[stray wind]

omg yeah that’s why i didn’t even apply 😭

[main pike]

yeah my philosophy is that it doesnt really matter for job recruitment tho which is what i care about

[prime urchin]

smarttt

[main pike]

i didnt apply umich cuz expensive too tho

[prime urchin]

they took my college app money

😢

[stray wind]

fax

[main pike]

but uiuc is also expensive im oos

[prime urchin]

all for a deferral

omg fr

[storm bridge]

hmm what other options do you have

[plush umbra]

texas hater prolly

[prime urchin]

im like ughhhh

[stray wind]

wait genuine question do u think pure cs at purdue would be better

[topaz vale]

definitely not

[glossy turtle]

Austin is a much faster growing and better tech hub than LA and there's a decent bit more recruiting from most companies, austin has significantly better startup culture to

[stray wind]

bc i am so conflicted

[topaz vale]

ucla cs was #10 last year

our recruiting is very very good

[main pike]

idk the only thigns ive gotten back so far are stanford rejection, usc deferral, gt deferral, purdue cs acceptance, davis riverside cs acceptance

[topaz vale]

i’d say they’re relatively equal

[storm bridge]

i think uiuc cs+x is better than purdue cs

[topaz vale]

but ut students are more tryhard lol

[main pike]

wait did u also get into purdue today for cs

[topaz vale]

for cs

[stray wind]

not today but i got in ea loll

[glossy turtle]

the gap isnt large but UT is a bit better lol, its like the difference is where your paying less atp

[stray wind]

but our decisions are so similar omg

[main pike]

loll close enuf

yeah lmao

[plush umbra]

no way

[topaz vale]

yeah i agree

[balmy spoke]

cornell likely, rejected 😭

[topaz vale]

idth ut is a bit better

[main pike]

can i send u my insta lmk if u get into gtech

[stray wind]

YESS ofc

[topaz vale]

i haven’t seen anything that vouches for that

[stray wind]

dude i’m manifesting so hard

[glossy turtle]

Silicon Hills is huge

[topaz vale]

the other big component is that ucla is better for tech that isn’t swe

[glossy turtle]

better than the bay area

[stray wind]

gt is my last public school

[glossy turtle]

not as good as valley

[topaz vale]

austin is good for tech but tech doesn’t regionally recruit

besides Berkeley / stanford

[stray wind]

i need that low coa 😭

[topaz vale]

are u instate for UT

[plush umbra]

did u apply cs for all

[main pike]

cs + business for riverside and cse for davis

[plush umbra]

ohh cool

what abt gt

[main pike]

just cs

[plush umbra]

and usc

[storm bridge]

post-covid, many bay area tech jobs are moving to austin

[main pike]

and just cs

if i get into gt cs ill go super happily

[plush umbra]

ohh cs is super hard at both

[topaz vale]

yes and no

[main pike]

uiuc isnt bad but the location is mid

[topaz vale]

jobs have moved back the bay from austin

[main pike]

yeah def

[plush umbra]

even tho gt doesn’t admit by major

[foggy patio]

fuck ucla On gang this is bullshit dam yeild protection

[topaz vale]

austin isn’t as big as u guys think it is for big tech

[burnt moat]

so the WL chances are 2 percent?

[plush umbra]

gt is so nice I love it

[north copper]

I mean it’s not fun

[plush umbra]

got in for business tho lol

[topaz vale]

also why are ppl arguing with me pls im cs and im pretty involved in the industry 😭😭

[wind fog]

quick question

[plush umbra]

location is ass

[wind fog]

what does a pre-maojr mean

like I got into pre-statistics

[topaz vale]

u fulfill classes and apply into the major once u finish lower divs

[wind fog]

am I guaranteed a spot if I finsih

or is it like some uoft bs where you have to compete

[plush umbra]

bc ur ucla biased and some of us don’t like ucla rn 😭

[cedar heron]

When did you get off the waitlist? Like around what date

Also did you commit to a school

[north copper]

Like May 25th

[topaz vale]

i’m not even biased 💀💀

[north copper]

Committed to Syracuse, then got off the WL for UCD

[wind fog]

tf arent most decisions due may 1st

[topaz vale]

ucla cs from a recruiting pov is very good

so is UT

[north copper]

Commited to UCD

[rugged raptor]

Do u have any math of comp friends? I just got in moc

[topaz vale]

however ucla has higher non-swe representation

[north copper]

Then the next day i got off the WL for ucsd

[topaz vale]

yeah plenty

[north copper]

Commited to ucsd

[rugged raptor]

Do they like the major

🧐

[topaz vale]

so if u wanna do design, pm, anything like that

[north copper]

Yea that’s the national deposit date

[topaz vale]

ucla might be the move

[cedar heron]

DAMN

[plush umbra]

joking lmao bc of ur name

[topaz vale]

especially design

[main pike]

i heard abt ppl getting off ucla waitlist in like late july but does that even make sense thats so late

[topaz vale]

true

[cedar heron]

You had two waitlist acceptances that’s insane

Wow

[topaz vale]

my year it was may and that was about it

[cedar heron]

PPL HEARD BACK THE WEEK BEFORE CLASSES STARTED LIKE

??!

[topaz vale]

there was one in state wave in may and a few out of state

after

and before

[topaz vale]

yep

they like it

it’s more math than cs

but u can take more cs if u want

[main pike]

wtff reallyy

[topaz vale]

recruiting is good

[main pike]

u can still switch that late?

do u just lose ur deposit or like what how does that even worok

[topaz vale]

@cedar heron r u sure ur not talking about fall 2020 with covid

ik that happened then but idk if that happened after

[round marlin]

Does anyone know how UCLA civil engineering is?

[main pike]

i got waitlisted from both ucsd and ucla for cs lol hopefully i get into one bc itll be way cheaper for me than uiuc

[rugged raptor]

Ok slay

[round marlin]

Asking for myself, as a hopeful '26 transfer

[topaz vale]

Good

Not the best idth but good

no urban planning rep here tho

[round marlin]

blows

[cedar heron]

No like

Literally lst yr

[topaz vale]

weird

[cedar heron]

U can check the ucla waitlist threads on a2c reddit

[topaz vale]

ucla wl runs late but tbh they don’t accept much past june

they usually run it till aug

bc ucla starts in december

wait

september

late september

idk where dec came from lol

[round marlin]

how is UCLA transfer rate in comparison to freshman??

[wild drift]

i think its really good

like 25-30%?

[topaz vale]

depends on major

very much

[wild drift]

i read something about newsom trying to guarantree transfer to ucla for in states/increase acceptancces

[plush umbra]

how would that even work

[wild drift]

no idea

[round marlin]

civil

[wild drift]

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-02-21/conflict-brews-over-governors-plan-for-ucla-guaranteed-transfer-student-admission#:~:text=Gavin Newsom proposed that UCLA,%2420 million in state funding.

[gentle pier]

GT is really pretty

id put GT campus over UCLA

[plush umbra]

pretty idk

but vibes culture etc it’s better

[plush umbra]

nah ucla campus nicer but I do see ur point

[gentle pier]

tbh, when I went to GT me and my friend just snuck into places 💀

[worn pelican]

I just got a mail saying decision is out

is it out for anyone else?

GOT WAISTLISTED

[main pike]

its been out yeah

[worn pelican]

eh that's alright

[main pike]

same

[white sable]

Got rejected from UCLA 😔

[spring tree]

admitted.

I wasn't expecting to see a decision right after logging in lol.

[storm bridge]

At UCLA, is it easy to change majors to CS?

[spring tree]

Would it say on the admissions letter if we were selected for Regents?

[white sable]

Time to unfollow this megathread 😔

[sullen topaz]

ur late

asf

rip

[dark merlin]

That’s what I’m wondering too. I didn’t get anything on mine. Not that I was expecting regents, but the scholarship would’ve been nice

[wild drift]

according to the schedule last year they sent it out after admissions last year

highly doubt ill get it because of how selective it is

[sullen topaz]

wait is there a ucla ‘27 discord server or insta??

[wild drift]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/y64fhy/20212022_uc_application_deadline_detailed/

[dark merlin]

Are there other scholarships and grants that roll out after admissions or do we need to start finding ones to apply to?

[wild drift]

this timeline btw

[dark merlin]

Gonna do that either way, but just hoping for the chance of some more money from the school

[spring tree]

I think the biggest benefit with Regents is the early class enrollment given the large sizes of UCs.

[dark merlin]

Since my efc was… all of it lmao

[wild drift]

😭

[dark merlin]

Oh yeah, that’s true too! I was just hoping for the money though lol but that is definitely a huge bonus!!!

[sullen topaz]

?? 😔

[spring tree]

Anyways, I don't care too much about Regents here, but I really want it for UCSB as I am strongly considering going there for the CCS program.

[dark merlin]

Sorry idk but I’d suggest looking through the UCLA subreddit maybe??

Let me know if you find it, I want to join too!

[pulsar yacht]

powell cat tshirt went out of stock overnight 😭

[boreal wraith]

link???

please 🙏

[pulsar yacht]

hoping that it’s just bc of the influx of powell cat support and not bc they’re finally taking it off the store

[pulsar yacht]

i don’t have the specific link but it’s on the front page of uclastore.com

they’ve had it for a while now

b4 they even died

[dawn dew]

uh are there good schollys for UCLA bc they said im about to pay 71k/yr

[pulsar yacht]

so i’m rlly hoping that i’m not too late bc it’s limited edition

[broken kettle]

Regent and alumni scholarship if you wrote the essays for it afaik

And finaid of course

[pulsar yacht]

oh geez 71k?

that’s insane

[dawn dew]

oops! didnt

[dawn dew]

i got 0

lol

[broken kettle]

Regent is automatic I think?

[spring tree]

I completely forgot about the alumni scholarship until now. 😦

[dawn dew]

btw if you got in finaid decision is out look at your portal instructions

[broken kettle]

Tbh I didn’t think I was getting in so I didn’t do it

[dawn dew]

SAME LMFAOO

[round marlin]

chloe

i might see u at ucla after all

if I get in as a transfer that is

[dawn dew]

YESSSSS

bro hopefully ill actually go i gotta figure out this nearly 300k ug debt shit

[round marlin]

lol

[pulsar yacht]

i would love for us to have an a2c ucla meetup

[dawn dew]

yes!!!

[broken kettle]

I’d be down (assuming I go)

Still waiting on Ivy day

[pulsar yacht]

we’ll be the chosen few who touch grass

[dawn dew]

im waiting on stanny and cwru if they give me hella merit

[round marlin]

UCLA acceptances!!

[broken kettle]

Oh yeah and stanny

[round marlin]

can you ask people in '26 what their degree requirements for civil are

[broken kettle]

What majors do ya’ll wanna do

[round marlin]

nvm I'll do it myself

why is this website so fucking outdated

[dawn dew]

physics! but imma switch to psych

[broken kettle]

I’m doing econ

[dawn dew]

im pre med so i gotta save the gpa

lol

[broken kettle]

I know a kid from my school going UCLA for pre med I think

[pulsar yacht]

no, chloe 😭😭😭 come to ucla and be a physics major so we can be physics major twinsies

[dawn dew]

YOURE PHYSICS TOO???

omfg REALLL

[pulsar yacht]

yup :)

[dawn dew]

yay

[pulsar yacht]

asian physics dude lol

[dawn dew]

what do you wanna do after ug

[pulsar yacht]

basic, but not as basic as the comp sci asian dudes

[elder pumice]

y'all physicists are too smart for me

[dawn dew]

I loveee physics

[compact bane]

does anyone know where to check the financial aid offer?

[round marlin]

I'm taking summer classes just to correct my mistakes and get a second chance at la

[pulsar yacht]

honestly not too sure lol. i think for now i’ll explore physics during ug, and then if i feel passionate enough i wanna go into research

[dawn dew]

yeah check the admitted students link on the acceptance letter and create an ID

[dawn dew]

oooo fun! im going to med school lol

[elder pumice]

physics premed gotta be wild it's like the kinetic energy of the bullet to your head makes you x amount of dead

[dawn dew]

i hope to see you there ong

[dawn dew]

LMFAOOOOO

ooo my physics teacher is gonna be rly happy

[elder pumice]

cs premeds gotta be the wildest tho because they show up at the hospital and hear "he's coding" and are like "yeah, good"

[dawn dew]

ugh but i fr might have to switch majors

[dawn dew]

ik compE pre med mfs like bro

[pulsar yacht]

oh lord i respect you med kids. thought about going to med school, but then i realized i don’t have enough passion to do 10 years of school lmfao

[compact bane]

I did, it just says that I don't have access to it at this time. Maybe I should wait till morning. Thank you!

[dawn dew]

yeah ofc lmk if it still doesnt work

[elder pumice]

fix your brain one day, fix your computer the next

grindset

[broken kettle]

My sister just finished the MCAT

Seems so bad

I could NEVER do that

[dawn dew]

im gonna bag the 528 mcat fr

[broken kettle]

She got 516

[dawn dew]

wtf shes cracked

[broken kettle]

(I have no idea how good that is)

[pulsar yacht]

gotta ashamedly tell my physics teachers next week i got wl by ucsd lmfao. both of them went to ucsd

[broken kettle]

What is the score range on the mcat

[dawn dew]

very good lmao

472 to 528

[broken kettle]

Ah thank you

[pulsar yacht]

yeah but avg is 500 iirc right?

[dawn dew]

I had to tell my teacher I got rejected ut physics

[broken kettle]

She’s very weird about test scores so she always would just tell me “it’s complicated”

[pulsar yacht]

so if you go below 500 ur straight ass

[broken kettle]

Rip that 50%

[dawn dew]

516 is 92nd percentile

[broken kettle]

Ye

Not as good as my SAT

[elder pumice]

med school admissions sound horrible

it's like, get a 4.0 in college and take this 7 hour test

[dawn dew]

well 511 is avg for MD accepts

[broken kettle]

Fr

[elder pumice]

then show up to answer these quirky ass interview questions

[fallen lintel]

wait did UCLA just come out?

[dawn dew]

515+ is good for top med schools

[pulsar yacht]

they’ve been out

[elder pumice]

oh and when you're done you get to work for minimum wage as a resident

[broken kettle]

It’s a 7 hour test+months of studying

[fallen lintel]

oh whoop

[dawn dew]

3h 40 min ago

[fallen lintel]

ah

[pulsar yacht]

that’s so true. 10 years of school, only to get into residency and brutally climb up a ladder

[dawn dew]

if I dont get into med school im straight up leaving society bro

[pulsar yacht]

lmao

[broken kettle]

That would blow so hard

[pulsar yacht]

dematerialize out of this shit

[elder pumice]

the fact that every thing about becoming a doctor is meant to tell you to fuck off

[round marlin]

chloe

[elder pumice]

that's why i respect doctors

[round marlin]

best to major in something that'll guarantee a job even if you don't get into med school

just so you don't waste 4 times and however much $$$

[elder pumice]

physics majors can actually sell out to wall street, a la

[uncut grove]

Ding!

Looks like someone's brought up quant again!

I think it’d be better if you analyzed some grass instead.

Used 487 times.

[pulsar yacht]

ppl who last that long are one of two things:

1. they rlly like money
2. they actually like helping ppl

[elder pumice]

so, infinite respect to healthcare workers

zero respect to quant soul-sellers

[round marlin]

do u have respect for civil engineers?

[pulsar yacht]

met this SEO guy at a starbucks who struck up a convo with me after he saw me doing physics hw. told me about his physics phd friend who got an easy mba and now makes bank at fortune 500s just answering emails for a couple hours each day

[elder pumice]

depends but in general yeah

bc if y'all fuck up your job then society goes to garbage

[grizzled slate]

even I applied for physics

got waitlisted

[dawn dew]

so wtf do i major in

[pulsar yacht]

shit sorry to hear that man 😔

[round marlin]

physics is kinda good IMO

[dawn dew]

bro i cant major in engineering or some shit thatll ruin my gpa

[grizzled slate]

I'm actually kinda happy from the waitlisting

[dawn dew]

rly i didnt think so

[grizzled slate]

idk why

[pulsar yacht]

i see

well i’m glad you could get some kind of closure from it

[grizzled slate]

then psychology shld be ur best bet if u wanna increase gpa

physics is just too vast

[dawn dew]

yeah exactly

im good at physics but idk at what point ill keep being good at it yk

[grizzled slate]

I already got into my dream school in paris for physics+math so I'm chill lol

[pulsar yacht]

physics provides a good launchpad imo

you get a lot of physics ppl who end up pivoting to things like programming and engineering

[grizzled slate]

true

[pulsar yacht]

it’s not just the physics knowledge that’s valuable

it’s the problem solving that you market

[dawn dew]

yeah i could do engineering masters or nuclear physics

but bro tbh i cant do that im already nearly 300k debt for ug

[round marlin]

jesus

[dawn dew]

gonna have to sell out ong

gotta hit up abnon to see how he did it fr

[round marlin]

lol

[agile arch]

God I’m on cloud 9. Bestie got into la and I think my other closest friend will too (we haven’t opened her decision yet)

[boreal wraith]

Just amazing. Tell her a random stranger said good luck lol

@agile arch

[agile arch]

Haha I will, ty!!

[boreal wraith]

!!!

[agile arch]

We’re not opening that one til tmrw morning. She won’t be home tonight until 11 pm but some of us have to go to bed early for a comp tmrw morning so she’ll wait for us to all open it together

[boreal wraith]

Sounds stressful but hopefully it all works out

[vernal mason]

I got waitlisted 😓😥😥😥

[boreal wraith]

About 369 admitted last year from the waiting list

It means something!!! put some crazy shit into that waitlist letter

i believe in you

[late citrus]

Just major in your favorite subject

It’s that easy

Hopefully this favorite subject isn’t a GPA-deflationary one

[dawn dew]

yeah physics but im PRE MED so gpa > all

[late citrus]

Pick something you like that’s easy

[stiff compass]

y’all what were the uc admissions this year even tbh…

bc like actually it was insane

[dawn dew]

psych!

[late citrus]

Yeah do that

[dawn dew]

in what way

[silent gull]

Rejected 😞

[viscid owl]

goodbye guys. enjoy at the UCs. maybe i wasnt good enough, not even for a waitlist. Congratulations anyway and i hope you kill it in Cali bye once again

[thin surge]

You were good enough; college admissions is a lottery

[cunning glacier]

where u get admitted says nothing about ur worth 😭

i got rejected from 3 today but like. doesn't mean i dont got a future..

[bold wadi]

your pfp though 💀

die in chinese

[cunning glacier]

like 😭 im still pursuing my dreams. dont let colleges decide ur future or dreams.

aint worth it

[bold wadi]

死

[bold wadi]

yessir!

askin for a friend

[cunning glacier]

i think its 4%

[bold wadi]

😔

🥹

[viscid owl]

yea from sekiro

[bold wadi]

oh

No clue what that is but nice!

[cedar heron]

What yr is that statistic from

[boreal wraith]

3.289%

2022-2023 CDS

[cedar heron]

Ooh ty

[glass shore]

jeez that's low

[boreal wraith]

well. at least it means something vs so many other schools

but yeah]

[bold wadi]

true

is this data jst on their website

Cds

[boreal wraith]

not me posting my fucking school's canvas link

https://apb.ucla.edu/campus-statistics/common-data-set

there we go

you can view it from a year to year basis if you are interested as well

[bold wadi]

alright thank you!

hold up

Im looking at ucsd’s and they admitted 0 from the wait list 💀

[boreal wraith]

are you sure?

oh i see

:/

[bold wadi]

at least berkeleys is 25%!!!!!!

[bold wadi]

lmaooo

[marsh perch]

@ me when it drops

[dark merlin]

Me six please

[unkempt yoke]

Got you thx

[north copper]

not gonna be out for a while

if anyone the Westwood advocate might have it

since they are connected in the UCLA Hub

or any UCLA student whos here

[unkempt yoke]

There is a /ucla server

but it says not affiliated directly

[north kestrel]

I can’t believe I got in wow

[north kestrel]

Is it for general students or class of ‘27?

[dreamy apex]

wait did everyone rejected get an option to be waitlisted?? or were there people rejected without the option??

[unkempt yoke]

It's for "UCLA Students and Friends"

[elder pumice]

some people got flat out rejected

[solar dock]

same

[grizzled slate]

they select very few ppl for their waitlist

[weary hazel]

bro im so confused

DID ANYONE GET
REJECTED UC SAN DIEGO
WAITLISTED UC IRVINE
WAITLISTED UCLA
LIKE WHAT DOES THIS MEAN???

[grave mulch]

Rejected irvine and waitlisted LA i feel you bro

[weary hazel]

im so confused

what does this mean for berkely

[terse plinth]

lmfao WL la going wild right after i was so excited aobu ttheir zip code being so cool 🙄

[weary hazel]

did u get mit?

[terse plinth]

no i just put it in my bio for no reason 😭

[weary hazel]

I cant tell if ur kidding LMFAO

[thorn agate]

Is ucla waitlist a good sign for cal? Ik it’s not the best but still something

@shy moss did u get into ucla?

[shy moss]

waitlisted

been crying nonstop tbh

[thorn agate]

Same

[shy moss]

what did I Not Have

[thorn agate]

I came to the conclusion that I was good enough not enough luck and space available

[thorn agate]

It’s all down to luck at that point tbh

[shy moss]

yeah probably

im so

today was a day full of Ls and ucla and uci didn’t help

[thorn agate]

I have pretty bad luck even in vernal so I’m not too suprised but suprised yk

[thorn agate]

What did u get for Uci

Waitlist?

[shy moss]

reject

most of my school was rejected

[thorn agate]

Ahh

I’m so worried abt cal rn

Crossing my fingers

[thorn agate]

Waitlist at LA is basically the acceptance of cal lol

[shy moss]

that line of rejects tho

[thorn agate]

Dam

[shy moss]

bruh now I should’ve applied to cal smh

[dawn bluff]

did both of u get into ucd?

cuz i got wl at uci and ucsd

[shy moss]

didn’t apply

[dawn bluff]

but reject la

i feel u

i am also sad today

[thorn agate]

I got into ucd ucsd ucsc and wl at ucla and uci

[shy moss]

llama what’s your fall back

[thorn agate]

Community

[shy moss]

bros a real one

[thorn agate]

I think if I don’t get into cal I’m going to community

[dawn bluff]

.

[thorn agate]

Though idk what imma do since I’m done

[shy moss]

community fire fs . but like

[potent solstice]

us

crying too

biz econ too

[thorn agate]

Irvine waitlist hit me hard

I had psych and biomedical engineering

[shy moss]

honestly wack thought but going to uni that’s not ucla feels so weird because of how far ahead i am

[dawn bluff]

idk i and sd wl were not shockers for me

but i was hoping at least one

[thorn agate]

Yh

[dawn bluff]

they hit me with two

[shy moss]

at my safety i’m 2ish tears ahead of my other “freshman” peers

[dawn bluff]

at least i and sd did not reject

[shy moss]

you feel me

[thorn agate]

Sd had an acceptance rate of 23% or something last year so I’m taking it

[dawn bluff]

i was lower

21%

[thorn agate]

But Irvine was just right behind with like 21

[dawn bluff]

did u two apply sb

if sb wl

[shy moss]

2% waitlist from la like Bro

[dawn bluff]

im gonna die

im done with life

if sb wl me

[thorn agate]

Nahh I didn’t

[shy moss]

nah didn’t apply

[gritty sluice]

you still got a chance at Berkeley

[thorn agate]

Frrrrrrr. Def means they don’t have space for us cus ain’t no way with a full igetc we aren’t enough

[dawn bluff]

idc about berk i applied math there

even if i got in

prob wont go

[thorn agate]

What’s architecture acceptance rate at cal anyone know

[gritty sluice]

decisions are very random, i got wl by santa cruz and rejected davis but got into Irvine for CS

[thorn agate]

Is it higher than the average of 11%

[dawn bluff]

WHAT

how

[shy moss]

full igetc, com service, student leadership like We Are Poster Kids for LA

[dawn bluff]

is

[thorn agate]

Ohhh wow

[thorn agate]

Frrrr

[dawn bluff]

irvine cs is 5.8%

that is a huge dub

[gritty sluice]

yea i have no idea

[thorn agate]

God dam

[dawn bluff]

cs is a huge dub in general

[thorn agate]

How hard is it to get off Uci waitlist

[shy moss]

i even got the east asian going for me

[dawn bluff]

varies by year

[shy moss]

too hard

[thorn agate]

Lower than ucla?

[dawn bluff]

about 20% get off

[thorn agate]

Do yk the ball park

[dawn bluff]

no ucla is really low

like less than 8% i bet

[thorn agate]

That’s not too bad. Doable

[dawn bluff]

cuz ucla got good yield

[thorn agate]

It’s 2%

[shy moss]

2% or 1.5%

[dawn bluff]

for a public

[shy moss]

about

[thorn agate]

But I saw a report that said 10% got in though

[shy moss]

i did the math, it’s more 1.5% if they follow last years trend

[thorn agate]

So idk abt uclas 2%

[shy moss]

ucla over admired last year

and the yield was crazy

so wait list took a hit

[dawn bluff]

they did not over admit

people got off the wl

if they over admit

[thorn agate]

Only 200lol

[dawn bluff]

nobody would get off wl

[shy moss]

nah they over admitted and over estimated their yield

[thorn agate]

Two years ago I think over a thousand got off

Close to 1.5k

[dawn bluff]

ucsd over admitted two years ago

0 got off the wl

[shy moss]

~1700 is the usual number iirc

with 2 standard deviations /j

[thorn agate]

1.7k and 10k usually accept

[dawn bluff]

ucla?

thats high

[thorn agate]

Also this year I think waitlist is large so maybe we have a good 10% chance at getting in

🤞

[shy moss]

clinging to that 10%

[dawn bluff]

if wl is large how is that a good thing

uc seem to wl a lot

[thorn agate]

Imma write abt that multi variable calc imma take along with discrete or linear algebra with my associates in transfer I got

[shy moss]

I know a good number of ppl who got in in this disc server have higher aspirations too so they can give up their spot for us

/j

[dawn bluff]

its kinda fucked up that its so hard for californians to get into their own state school

tax dollars for nothing

[thorn agate]

Means more ppl will get in than accepted so it won’t be the 200 but 1k plus getting in idk it’s just my mindset

[shy moss]

nah fr, time to use stats to find out how confident I am in getting in

[thorn agate]

Fr

[thorn agate]

Imma just milk tf outta my college

This summer I’m taking like 20+ credits

[shy moss]

if you’re 95% confident find the margin of error …..

[dawn bluff]

ucsd has the most beautiful acceptance ever

too bad i did not get it

[thorn agate]

UCSD has gotten rlly hard these past few years

[shy moss]

llama which com college u thinking if you’re willing to share

[thorn agate]

Almost hitting the under 20%

[dawn bluff]

ucs in general

[thorn agate]

Gcc or pcc

[shy moss]

not merced

[dawn bluff]

wait llama did u get into ucsd

[shy moss]

solid

[dawn bluff]

why cc then?

[thorn agate]

Yh

[thorn agate]

Ucla/cal or nothing

[dawn bluff]

bruh

[thorn agate]

I’m not taking anything less

[shy moss]

bros just like me fr

[dawn bluff]

this has got to be a joke

[thorn agate]

I’m dead set on it

[shy moss]

but in only LA or nothing

atp

[thorn agate]

I can get into Uci with the TAG too

[shy moss]

Frrr

[thorn agate]

So there’s no reason of me getting wl at Uci

[shy moss]

tag beloved

[dawn bluff]

u can transfer from sd to la or cal

[thorn agate]

Much harder

[shy moss]

nah that’s like 4% of their transfers

[thorn agate]

95% of transfer come from cc

[dawn bluff]

oh

but still

[shy moss]

2% from other unis

[dawn bluff]

imo u should def not

do cc

with ucsd acceptance

[shy moss]

nah llama’s smart w cc

[thorn agate]

I can get into ucsd next year

I’m guaranteed

[shy moss]

dream school, save cash

like why not

[thorn agate]

Transfer admission guarantee

[dawn bluff]

wait 2 years at cc right?

[thorn agate]

Nahh technically 0 year cus I’m done

[dawn bluff]

do u have to study 2 or 4 years at uc then after cc transfer for bachelors

[shy moss]

for them it’ll be like a sem

or 2

all the credits smh

[thorn agate]

Does ucla do spring transfer?

For cc

[dawn bluff]

yes

p sure

[shy moss]

only fall I thought

[dawn bluff]

google it then

[thorn agate]

Then only a semester for me if they do spring

[shy moss]

I was just looking
