If I remember last year the first wave was acceptance, and the second wave were a mixtures of wl/a/d, and then the last wave was basically pulling people out of the wl pool

#

But they didn’t accept that many wl

#

And I don’t think it was by last name

it ended a month ago but I'm pretty sure admissions offices can't process 50 thousand apps in a month(?)

i love the hands on appraoch but im thinking ab doing graduate school not 100% on it tho so idk if cal poly slo is still good

sick plaza Mar 13, 2023, 4:03 AM

#

I think undergrad tends to be equal among most unis after you do all 4 years

#

I think the huge perk with cal poly though is that you do it MUCH sooner

lusty oar Mar 13, 2023, 4:04 AM

#

does that mean you gradaute sooner then other ucs?

sick plaza Mar 13, 2023, 4:04 AM

#

So the huge benefit is for internships / doing more stuff where it takes longer to do that

lusty oar Mar 13, 2023, 4:04 AM

#

ohh

sick plaza Mar 13, 2023, 4:04 AM

Yeah so to get the “skills”, a UC class would take 3 while cal poly 1 year

lusty oar Mar 13, 2023, 4:04 AM

thats so cool

#

cal poly slo is one of my top choices

#

if i get accepted into ucsd id have a hard time chooisng between the two though

sick plaza Mar 13, 2023, 4:05 AM

#

Oh yeah, I was thinking either UW, UCSD, or cal poly last year

#

Fun to make decisions lol

lusty oar Mar 13, 2023, 4:06 AM

#

yeahhh

#

what wat ur deciding factor?

sick plaza Mar 13, 2023, 4:06 AM

#

UW office told me to not go there as it’s ass oos in terms of huge preference for instate

#

For slo/ucsd, it was more tough but I think I preferred the benefits of getting more involved in major classes over theoretical

#

SLO also imo is much easier to get into research if that’s something you are looking into

lusty oar Mar 13, 2023, 4:08 AM

#

oh really

sick plaza Mar 13, 2023, 4:08 AM

#

As it’s a undergrad focused university

#

Yes, that’s the HUGE plus

lusty oar Mar 13, 2023, 4:08 AM

#

i thought slo didnt have as many research materials as ucsd does

sick plaza Mar 13, 2023, 4:08 AM

#

lusty oar i thought slo didnt have as many research materials as ucsd does

Think of it like this, those funds go to UPPER grad students

#

Therefore, less funds for the undergrad

#

While with slo, it’s ONLY /tends to go for undergrad

lusty oar Mar 13, 2023, 4:09 AM

sick plaza Mar 13, 2023, 4:09 AM

Obviously there could be some cool labs at schools like ucsd, but those may be tons harder/preferred for upper years like junior year

ASU

unless you wanna stay in cali

then CPSLO prob better

dark kelp Mar 20, 2023, 10:46 PM

I don’t need to stay in Cali, I’m definitely open to going to other places, I’m just having a hard time picking between the two

I hate arizona and I really don't want to go to cal poly, but ASU >>>>

#

ASU is probably your best bet lmfao

#

more resources too

dark kelp Mar 20, 2023, 10:46 PM

On one hand cal poly is looked up to more, but just comparing business schools and opportunities I feel like ASU has better resources

Hm why do you dislike it so much

#

If I get into UCSB tomorrow that’ll get me out of this hole picking between these two choices but I doubt it’ll happen

#

Also I guess I’m biased towards cal poly cuz I just feel lucky I even got in

tiny gust Mar 20, 2023, 10:48 PM

#

dark kelp Hm why do you dislike it so much

the energy I got when I toured was very "bro"-centric. I felt like a high school in my area that was known for sports and physical violence and nicotine addictions. However, if I get the Frost scholarship I pretty much have to go to Cal poly lmfao

#

that is awesome tho

#

like if you got it that's amazing!!

dark kelp Mar 20, 2023, 10:49 PM

campuses each admit about 15k

so there should be enough room for ALL of them

yet nearly half don't get admitted anywhere

well i havent recieve anything from cal poly today so either I'm getting rejected or it is not coming today

pulsar sierra Mar 20, 2023, 11:18 PM

#

its because you can apply to multiple campuses and get multiple acceptances

vivid dune Mar 20, 2023, 11:18 PM

but like a lot of people get into merced riverside and ucsc

UCSC and Riverside I've seen 4.4UC waitlists

dark kelp Mar 20, 2023, 11:18 PM

#

pulsar sierra its not a capacity issue, its a poor admission strategy issue

This actually brings me to a question, do similar amounts of people apply to a campus such as UCR or Merced compared to campuses such as UCI or UCSD?

pulsar sierra Mar 20, 2023, 11:18 PM

you take spots from others?

yes

if everyone got admitted to only one UC campus

vivid dune Mar 20, 2023, 11:18 PM

no shame in admitting it wtf

pulsar sierra Mar 20, 2023, 11:18 PM

nearly everyone would have a spot

vivid dune Mar 20, 2023, 11:18 PM

why would you take the chance

what if you don’t get in

plus waitlist exists for a reason

pulsar sierra Mar 20, 2023, 11:18 PM

im not saying WE should apply to less

you rank the campuses

pulsar sierra Mar 20, 2023, 11:21 PM

That’s true

pulsar sierra Mar 20, 2023, 11:22 PM

also to add on

pseudo bay Mar 20, 2023, 11:22 PM

Oos tuition is meant to be making up for those taxes but it doesnt when they offer financial aid to oos

pulsar sierra Mar 20, 2023, 11:22 PM

if UCs want to fuck everyone over they should at least give reasons why people were given their reject/wl

because how the fuck am i supposed to appeal when you wont tell me whats wrong

so ik exactly what to do

pseudo bay Mar 20, 2023, 11:22 PM

but fucking animal sci with this much dem int

#

idek how that happened

pseudo bay Mar 20, 2023, 11:27 PM

Idk thats why i find it so frustrating

Davis doesnt have any place to write letter of continued interest either

pulsar sierra Mar 20, 2023, 11:28 PM

dang, yeah this is what i mean

#

the whole system just doesnt work

pseudo bay Mar 20, 2023, 11:29 PM

My guess is my personal statements were bad but i had them reviewed by multiple people so 🤷

#

Im probably just going to end up going to slo and trying to transfer to davis or ill just lose my deposit if I make it off the waitlist

#

I heard people had luck physically mailing letters of interest but I dont know if its worth my time

pulsar sierra Mar 20, 2023, 11:34 PM

#

pseudo bay My guess is my personal statements were bad but i had them reviewed by multiple ...

my essays ik were bad but like the stats/ecs have to be enough after a certain point

#

like they have to understand that some people just can't write to such a degree, and when our majors have nothing to do w it it shouldnt be an issue

pseudo bay Mar 20, 2023, 11:35 PM

#

Yeah like i think i overestimated the importance of ecs

#

it seemed like this year they werent as important

#

I didn’t cure cancer but i had a lot of major centric ec

pulsar sierra Mar 20, 2023, 11:38 PM

#

pseudo bay it seemed like this year they werent as important

yeah, but htat makes no sense

#

essays really shouldnt have that big of an effect because of the amount of variables involved in them

#

you can gauge someones ability to participate in ECs through their background HS and courseload so yk how much of their free time they're utilizing

#

but you can't expect even the smartest most capable HS student to be an amazing writer, esp not narrative

pseudo bay Mar 20, 2023, 11:39 PM

#

Also the instructions said that the essays arent graded on writing ability like what else are you grading on

#

You could make any topic amazing with writing ability so its definitely not content

pulsar sierra Mar 20, 2023, 11:40 PM

#

yeah

#

and content itself i hated

#

like please ask me why X school(doesnt work for UCs but they should've done some sort of Why UC) and why major

#

not PIQs

#

PIQs are BS essays that literally don't give you a picture of what a student can contribute in your school

#

it shouldn't matter how interesting my childhood was, because that's out of my control

#

its not my fault my dad wasn't an alcoholic or my parents didn't divorce so I can't write anything interesting for you guys

pseudo bay Mar 20, 2023, 11:41 PM

#

Its convenient that its all one application but i think my piq would’ve been so much better if I could explain my interest in the specific campus and programs they have

#

Like davis has really unique animal sci programs and that wouldve been a great thing to talk about but you cant say anything campus specific with the way its set up rn

pulsar sierra Mar 20, 2023, 11:43 PM

#

pseudo bay Its convenient that its all one application but i think my piq would’ve been so ...

yeah i really don't like the system

#

either all campuses have one app and one admissions team, or they each have their own

#

a mix doesn't work

#

because if you want to see my fit you literally can't

#

each UC has different fits and i cant express any specific ones

SLO is the best cal state but if they’re hesitant because of the fact it’s a cal state, maybe do some research and show your parents what other people say about the school for business
