[sleek sluice]

[patent seal]

@sleek sluice

[sleek sluice]

oh wtf

hmm that’s weird

[valid elbow]

he probably didn't fill out fafsa

all my non aid asking friends have this screen

[patent seal]

i did

[valid elbow]

you did? u told me u didn't?

then email them and ask what's up

ur suppose to have that screen

[patent seal]

I thought I didn't but apparently I did send the fafsa to uw madison

[fervent raven]

my fin aid fully filled out now lmao

[sleek sluice]

i didn’t even send my fafsa to wisconsin

and i have that screen lmao

[valid elbow]

that is weird

[summer mortar]

damn that means you got a scholly or something

[sleek sluice]

no i didn’t 💀💀

it says my expected family contribution is 200k bro

i didn’t get shit

[summer mortar]

oh i thought you said COA is 50k

[sleek sluice]

per year i think it’s 50k

[summer mortar]

what kinda income do you need to have a family contribution of 200k from the FAFSA

[drifting mesa]

a lot

[summer mortar]

million dollar salary

[full sleet]

thats impossibly cuz the max is 65k a year around

200k a year not possible

[drifting mesa]

they mean four years

[sleek sluice]

i think it’s showing up as my entire 4 year tuition

idk

both my parents software engineers so idk

[fervent raven]

my coa is 58k but got 25k in aid (?)

my efc is 9k

[buoyant gate]

efc is not what you’ll actually pay it’s the maximum amount you’re estimated to contribute

it’s possible for it to be way higher

[fervent raven]

ik

jus that idk if the aid is loans or

im oos so prolly loans

[buoyant gate]

oh i was talking to the person above lol

but yeah probably loans

[summer mortar]

this school is stingy af. even for instate

[short jewel]

either tomorrow

or next friday

[clever fjord]

if my efc is 20k
then why on earth do they expect me to pay an additional 38k with 0 aid

[short jewel]

but i feel it will be the last friday of the month

cuz ea was last friday of the month

[summer mortar]

efc stands for expected family contribution

[clever fjord]

yeah so

[summer mortar]

family

[clever fjord]

they expect me to pay 20k but the rest of the COA is 38k? 😭

where tf does that come from uw madison.

[summer mortar]

student loans my brother

sell a kidney

who needs those

[clever fjord]

aint no way im taking out 152k for wisconsin

[summer mortar]

lmaoo

if it's a loan with a fixed rate then it could be a steal depending on the rate

hyper inflation go brrr

[fervent raven]

gang

im 9k 😭

[summer mortar]

i get no aid 😦

[fervent raven]

oop

its prolly loans so

[summer mortar]

no, loan is for everyone

[clever fjord]

i have no idea how loans or money work

im also 0 aid

[summer mortar]

they fr tryina turn us into hobos

[earnest condor]

Maybe next? Should they sent an email for notice?

[sand kayak]

this is what they sent last year

on 26 march

[patent seal]

This year I bet they are gonna have around 70k apps. They already had 44k in the early round alone.

[sand kayak]

wow

did they release their EA acceptance rate?

[patent seal]

17k of the 44k apps were defered. Thats all we know.

[short jewel]

they emailed me like a day after my decision came out for ea

[patent seal]

Last years data

[sand kayak]

literal doubling of applicants in 6 years wtf

[patent seal]

also https://madison.com/news/local/education/university/uw-madison-plans-to-enroll-500-fewer-students-for-next-falls-freshman-class/article_a43e49be-c370-5032-9657-9cde2eede92f.html#:~:text=UW-Madison is planning to,Madison spokesperson John Lucas said.

Factoring this in with the 2022 yield rate, Madision will probably admit around 27900 people in EA and RD.

(8100/.29) = 27931

[sand kayak]

10% drop in AR in an year. crazy numbers fr

happy to see madison getting the attention it deserves but wow

[patent seal]

If we assume madision admitted half of the applicants in the early round, then the EA acceptance rate would be 32%

[summer mortar]

sounds pretty good to me

[patent seal]

17000 defered + maybe around 24k regular round applications(totalwill be more than last year), so rd would be 34% acceptance rate

These are making ALOT of assumptions cause we don't know the acceptance rate in the early round madison

[valid elbow]

I just know there's gonna be a huge waitlist

[patent seal]

might be lower this year since they are trying to reduce their class size

[sand kayak]

they auto-waitlist most people lol

[valid elbow]

yeah autowaitlist

[sand kayak]

they did that last year too, only heard of 1 rejection, ~5 waitlists, and ~15 acceptances in my group

[valid elbow]

doesn't necessarily mean they'll get out of the wiaylist

jeez

don't want this to be my 3rd waitlist

[patent seal]

from college confidential

💀

[valid elbow]

8kkkkkkkk??

wow

[sand kayak]

lmfaooo purdue levels of waitlisting

I'm so in love with madison ngl 😩

commited last year lol

they didn't allow me to defer and I wanted to gap anyways

[valid elbow]

How's it there

weather wise

[sand kayak]

never been, but supposedly super fucking cold 🥶

[full sleet]

i heard its cold af

[patent seal]

this is from the official website

[valid elbow]

[summer mortar]

[patent seal]

https://admissions.wisc.edu/wait-list/

[summer mortar]

so whatever

[fervent raven]

lmfao

my self esteem already dropped gang

[radiant dawn]

honestly real

cant get no worse anymore

[patent seal]

This is my last decision and I haven't gotten into any of my reaches

[mental epoch]

Does that financial aid thing mean anything on the portal

[radiant dawn]

[radiant dawn]

@fervent raven this happened to u right

[patent seal]

yea my saftey is a good school

[radiant dawn]

[lucid heron]

So it does matter?

[summer mortar]

Someone on CC said that target can see a welcome message on their myUW housing screen

Can anyone else?

[earnest condor]

[worthy socket]

[valid elbow]

[patent seal]

[worldly dagger]

Hi everyone

Rule 5 exists!

Although it could be a portal indicator, please do not promote these as a guarantee

[radiant dawn]

bortal bruhstrology

[thorny wing]

where?

can someone send me a pic

[radiant dawn]

is this it

https://reservations.soar.wisc.edu/

[thorny wing]

i’m confused

[cunning pivot]

https://go.wisc.edu/my-housing

[radiant dawn]

what is this thing @cunning pivot

[cunning pivot]

people are saying they see their name

apparently its some indicator

[radiant dawn]

what do i click

[thorny wing]

i have to log in though right

[sweet heron]

chill guys decisions will eventually come

[thorny wing]

im confused

[radiant dawn]

im bored in class rn

[thorny wing]

yea i have the same

[radiant dawn]

oh ok

[thorny wing]

[cunning pivot]

Imagine being in class

[radiant dawn]

Failed

login error

[thorny wing]

[radiant dawn]

omg

thats a W

[worldly dagger]

Hi everyone I’m gonna start warning

[thorny wing]

oh sorry is this not allowed?

[worldly dagger]

Regardless if it’s an indicator or not

[cunning pivot]

bro im just echoing what others said

[thorny wing]

my bad

[worldly dagger]

It’s still prohibited

You can appeal if you want

[cunning pivot]

fair enough

[mighty citrus]

Yes, this would be classified as Portal Astrology, and we don't allow that on A2C because it is almost always meaningless and just results in confusion and fear

[thorny wing]

ahh ok sorry!

[mighty citrus]

You're all good, just don't do it again, please

[radiant dawn]

Same lol ty

[elfin star]

yeah, same. i had this too!

[radiant dawn]

They closed it for Rd

[elfin star]

perhaps, who knows

decisions are near anyway

waiting is better

[radiant dawn]

Yeah it doesn't matter we just wait

[patent seal]

Wdym by that

[elfin star]

closed it as in they might’ve “fixed” the indicator

[real geyser]

when do decisions release, based on previous years?

[radiant dawn]

Yes

[mighty citrus]

Just a reminder for you all, I have seen some discussion of what is going on with the portal and some other sites related to the portal. I've been through a number of similar situations and different portals, and I just want y'all to know that these don't mean anything. You are dealing with anecdotal evidence and glitchy systems, so all you can do is speculate. It is against our server rules to conduct portal astrology, because it only causes confusion and fear, so please refrain. Thank you.

[lucid heron]

Oh I didn’t have the sign

I mean portal astrology like this accurate

[mighty citrus]

Wdym?

[lucid heron]

If some people have a hi sign for housing

And some don’t

What do you think it means?

[mighty citrus]

Trust me, it doesn't mean anything

[lucid heron]

It does

[mighty citrus]

Portals are glitchy before decision release

[lucid heron]

That’s what people said about soar ea

And it mattered then

[radiant dawn]

Well you don't know this which is why I think it's best to not talk about it

There's no point having this conversation imo it's whatever

Especially hours before

[patent seal]

It could mean descisions are coming out soon

[radiant dawn]

They're coming today basically

Guaranteed off previous years

[thorny wing]

what time?

[radiant dawn]

I was referring to the astrology stuff tho

[radiant dawn]

No idea

[lucid heron]

Why else

[patent seal]

7 pm cst probably

[thorny wing]

what time have they come out in previous years

ah ok

[radiant dawn]

Oh nice

[severe delta]

You guys were saying it was coming out on a Friday the whole time

[sleek sluice]

where do i click

for the housing shi

[severe delta]

Shut up

Stop

[radiant dawn]

Rude 😭 but I agree

LMAO

[mighty citrus]

@lucid heron Stop

[lucid heron]

LMAO

[sleek sluice]

it prolly is an indicator lols

but aight

[radiant dawn]

Yeah but who gives a fuck

[sleek sluice]

uhh

me who spent money to apply

[radiant dawn]

You'll be indicated in a few hours regardless

[mighty citrus]

You'll find out soon, who cares. You're just getting your hopes up

[radiant dawn]

😭😭

Yeah

[sleek sluice]

wdym few hours

it’s today??

[radiant dawn]

Yeah very likely lmao

[sleek sluice]

based on what

past decision dates ?

[radiant dawn]

Always been the Friday of the 3rd week of March for like years

[sleek sluice]

mmmm

gtech and uwis i’m excited

😀😀

[radiant dawn]

Yeah fr 😭

[mighty citrus]

Isn't it the 4th week of March?

[radiant dawn]

CS major?

[elfin star]

Tbf, I don’t think anyone is going in a state of anxiety simply because they don’t have that supposed indicator

But who knows

[sleek sluice]

yuhh

[radiant dawn]

Idk oops but I meant the week of the 24/25/26th

[mighty citrus]

Gotcha

[radiant dawn]

last year was the 25th iirc

[sleek sluice]

why do schools just not release an official date

[radiant dawn]

cause they're cringe

[elfin star]

Nah, it’s just that reading these applications can take time

[radiant dawn]

Yeah that's true

[mighty citrus]

This is pure speculation, but based on historical release dates, it is likely decisions will be released tonight, Friday, March 24th.

[elfin star]

So, they cannot definitively say what date they will release

[radiant dawn]

based pin

[elfin star]

It’s better to not give a date and keep students waiting than give a date and not deliver

[real geyser]

I hope we can table all other speculations of the release date now

[mighty citrus]

I'm just hoping it actually releases tonight so I didn't make a bad call lol

[radiant dawn]

Yeah same 😭😭😭

[mighty citrus]

I don't want to get everyone's hopes up

[radiant dawn]

My bad if it doesn't but also it should??

[safe acorn]

Hopefully it does

I really don't wanna have to wait any longer

[radiant dawn]

Yeah

[elfin star]

I wish Madison wasn’t cold

[real geyser]

yeah it should most likely release tonight. it released on the public ivy day along with gtech during ea

[elfin star]

It would’ve been an easy commit for me

[radiant dawn]

Wait you're a prefrosh tho

Have you commit alr

[safe acorn]

True; Madison weather is absolute shit

[elfin star]

There’s absolutely no way I could have maintained my sanity there

Replied to the wrong message, well

[sleek sluice]

why is it negative

[elfin star]

full ride fr

[safe acorn]

I have, but I've forgotten to verify. Also, my brain's been broken by college admissions to the point that I'm still obsessed with my decisions

[real geyser]

guys
umd cs or uwm cs?

[elfin star]

They will pay you to attend

[elfin star]

UWM?

[radiant dawn]

Idk man UMD cause I got in?

[sleek sluice]

i cant tell if ur trolling or not

lmao

[radiant dawn]

Idk I think they man UW Madison

[elfin star]

I chose UMD simply bc of its weather, and proximity to Big N

[radiant dawn]

Yeah makes sense

[elfin star]

I had an offer from UW

I actually still do. But I won’t commit

[radiant dawn]

W

UMD better

[real geyser]

UMD is also currently my top choice lmao. I'd have to deliberate if i get into uwm

[radiant dawn]

Yeah same lolll

[elfin star]

Both schools are comparable in their programs

[radiant dawn]

🙏🙏 finna go from 9r to 12r today 😭😭

[radiant dawn]

Yeah real

[elfin star]

a small factor that repelled me was politics outside Madison

[safe acorn]

Nah you'll get in everywhere

Dw

[elfin star]

I’ve heard it’s conservative as fuck outside

[real geyser]

Wisconsin cold af tho 🥶

[radiant dawn]

Ily 🙏

[radiant dawn]

True

[elfin star]

LMAOO

[lucid heron]

No cause

[elfin star]

That unsend made it funner LMAOO

[mighty citrus]

@lucid heron stop

[lucid heron]

That was a hypothetical

[mighty citrus]

I'm not here to babysit

If you send it again, you're getting muted

[radiant dawn]

Well no the trick almost certainly works, it's just useless to discuss cause it's fucking hours before decision 😭😭😭 so fr just stop

[mighty citrus]

You can discuss this in DMs, but I don't want to see ANY more of it in here

[elfin star]

the decision came early in the morning for me

[radiant dawn]

what time zone are u in

[elfin star]

I’m from India. IIRC, it was 5 am IST

[radiant dawn]

ah gotchu

[safe acorn]

Yeah my EA deferral came at 5 as well

[real geyser]

yes true. that's about 7 ct

[safe acorn]

5 am IST's what in EST?

[elfin star]

ngl, I got my UMD and UW acceptances on the same day

[radiant dawn]

I'm pst I think my deferral was 4 or 5 pm so idk

Yeah

[elfin star]

It felt surreal

[safe acorn]

That sounds nice

[real geyser]

me who applied rd

[safe acorn]

I wish UMD gave me a decision

[elfin star]

UW campus beautiful as fuck

[safe acorn]

Instead of running away with my money

[elfin star]

but then cold fucks it over

[safe acorn]

I applied EA and never got my decision

[real geyser]

i got my decision a month later than i was supposed to

[elfin star]

I’ve heard during winter the campus is absolutely ugly

[elfin star]

L

[real geyser]

there was an IELTS issue and i had to call the UMD office

[radiant dawn]

Me when I got destroyed on March 27 except for UMD spring admission

😭

[safe acorn]

Cause apparently they didn't get my 11th grade transcripts

I had my counsellor send em again

By email

Which they told me was fine

They left me hanging for two weeks after that

[elfin star]

something similar happened with ASU for me

[safe acorn]

ONLY TO TELL ME THAT THEY STILL DIDN'T GET MY TRANSCRIPTS

[sleek sluice]

so 7cst?

imagine it doesn’t even come out today lmao

[safe acorn]

I know a guy who went to UCSD last year and he's still waiting on his UMD decision

[real geyser]

UMD has got a pretty unresponsive admissions office no doubt

[safe acorn]

Yeah they're really unorganised

[real geyser]

their portal itself looks ugly ngl

[clever fjord]

I feel like it’s today

[safe acorn]

Yeah it sucks ass

And sometimes when I tried to open the link it redirected me to a different website

[mighty citrus]

Yea, that's what we think based on past releases.

[clever fjord]

so USC at 6:30 and this at 7, fun

[elfin star]

How?

[elfin star]

I agree with this. I had to wait many days before I got a response from them. It was annoying.

[split gate]

gtech, northwestern, usc and uw today?

damn

[radiant dawn]

Yeah big day

[sleek sluice]

yea

wait does anyone know when UMD RD releases ?

[mighty citrus]

I can check

[sleek sluice]

ty

i could even find the discussion thread

couldn’t

[radiant dawn]

One of my friends said today but don't listen to me 💀

[sleek sluice]

i forgot to do the financial verification shit

bruh that thread dead ast

asf

[safe acorn]

Sometimes whenever I'd try to open the link in my browser it redirected me to some site called Shibboleth, which is the site that the UMD portal's built on I think

[safe acorn]

Whenever I sent a message to them it would always take a week, maybe even two, just to get a reply

It was awful

[short jewel]

coming out today?

[radiant dawn]

Probably

[short jewel]

when did it release last year

[radiant dawn]

25th Friday

[safe acorn]

On a Friday

[short jewel]

oh ok today then

[radiant dawn]

Yeah

[short jewel]

but there is next friday tho

[radiant dawn]

Basically

[short jewel]

last year the last friday was the 25th

[safe acorn]

So pray that it's not next friday

[radiant dawn]

true

[short jewel]

well idc that much if i get in or not

[radiant dawn]

you have good instate options right

[short jewel]

just ucsb

wl at ucsd and uci

[north pagoda]

there's a good chance that it could be today, since the portal hacc also came to be just a little while before the decision (during EA)

[safe acorn]

I mean it's still a good UC

You applying for CS?

[short jewel]

ee

[short jewel]

yea it is!

not sure between ucsb and uiuc for ee

[safe acorn]

If you can afford it, probs UIUC

[short jewel]

what do u think about ucsd and uiuc

[safe acorn]

Grainger is next level for Engineering

UIUC is still better is cost isn't an issue

But UCSD's still great for Eng.

[short jewel]

i feel the difference is negligible between the two

in engi

[radiant dawn]

UCSD in state far better deal

[safe acorn]

And in-state tuition goes a long way

[radiant dawn]

Agree with you birb

[safe acorn]

Exactly

[short jewel]

well i can afford oos anyways

[sleek sluice]

what portal hack what

[short jewel]

so money not an issue

[radiant dawn]

UCSD is a research powerhouse with amazing placements why spend more

[short jewel]

i also got a scholarship and honors from uiuc

so that kinda makes it harder

[radiant dawn]

Oh right

[safe acorn]

Oh damn

[sleek sluice]

does wisc give full rides ?

[safe acorn]

How much?

[short jewel]

32.5k total

[radiant dawn]

wait per year total or like over 4

[safe acorn]

Hmm that's not a lot if it's over the whole 4 years

[short jewel]

total

[safe acorn]

Honors college is really good tho

[radiant dawn]

Ah okay

[sleek sluice]

illinois dead asf tho

[short jewel]

my bad its 32k

[radiant dawn]

W

[short jewel]

i did the calculations i think uc would save me about 50k

[mighty citrus]

That's nice. Happy for you

[sleek sluice]

which UC

[real geyser]

i think uiuc would be a better choice for you

[short jewel]

ucsd vs uiuc

or ucsb

[sleek sluice]

UCSD

fs

[radiant dawn]

UCSD is the play to me

[tawny pollen]

are decisions out?

[sleek sluice]

and ur in state

[short jewel]

yea

[safe acorn]

Probably go UCSD if the place vibes with you

[mighty citrus]

No

[short jewel]

i got wl at ucsd

[sleek sluice]

ohh

[safe acorn]

Or else go UIUC

[mighty citrus]

Potentially releasing tonight

[radiant dawn]

Oh wait nvm

[short jewel]

ok thanks

[sleek sluice]

go UIUC then

[short jewel]

waiting on usc for today

[radiant dawn]

So ucsb uiuc? That's kinda hard but probably uiuc if you can afford it

[sleek sluice]

i’m pretty sure UCSD barely takes anyone off waitlist

[radiant dawn]

Yeah

[safe acorn]

Hope you get in

[radiant dawn]

Yield whore 20k waitlist

[short jewel]

it was cuz they overenrolled 2 years ago

[sleek sluice]

💀💀💀

[real geyser]

yes i wouldn't count my chances on a ucsd waitlist

move on to other options

[radiant dawn]

^

[safe acorn]

USC with a scholarship would be insane

[tawny pollen]

Oh okay gotcha! Thank you so much 🙂

[real geyser]

it's extra hard to transfer into a capped major (like engg) if you were waitlisted

[radiant dawn]

No merit scholarships in RD

yeah

[sleek sluice]

watch them not even releases today lmao

[short jewel]

nah idt i will even get in

[short jewel]

they will

[safe acorn]

oh

big oof then

[radiant dawn]

Yeah

[sleek sluice]

why can’t every school b like gtech

giving us the date 2 weeks in advance

[radiant dawn]

Wym

Oh fr

[safe acorn]

probably just go uiuc then even if you get into usc

[radiant dawn]

Yeah

[sleek sluice]

wait what’s the major

CS?

[real geyser]

they notified us of the decision twice lol

[short jewel]

why

[short jewel]

ece usc ee uiuc

[sleek sluice]

naw fr

[radiant dawn]

Stronger program, I think he's EE

[short jewel]

usc only has ece

no ee or ce

only

[sleek sluice]

oh yea def UIUC then

[safe acorn]

cause uiuc ee is amazing

[sleek sluice]

isn’t their EE hella good

[radiant dawn]

yeah uiuc all the way

Mhm

[safe acorn]

and cheaper than usc

[short jewel]

my parents are prestige whores lol

they want me to go to usc cuz prestige

[radiant dawn]

Uiuc employer and grad school prestige is amazing

[sleek sluice]

i think u would be fine at UCSB as welll tho lol

[radiant dawn]

That matter more

[safe acorn]

uiuc has shit ton of prestige amongst employers

[sleek sluice]

i think it’s rly a preference of where u wna live

[radiant dawn]

Yuh that's true

[safe acorn]

especially for eng

[sleek sluice]

true

[short jewel]

i think i wanna live in cali

but uiuc is really strong

so its super hard for me

[radiant dawn]

Yeah

[sleek sluice]

i been in cali my whole life and i wna dip so bad

😭😭

[safe acorn]

well you've got a lot of time to ponder

[radiant dawn]

Twinnn fr

[sleek sluice]

the problem is that

[short jewel]

visiting ucsb this weekend and uiuc next weekend so i can get a vibe

[radiant dawn]

So happy UCs railed me I don't have to stay here 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[sleek sluice]

UCSD CS is the best school i have so far

[radiant dawn]

Oh wtf that's amazing go there

[safe acorn]

UCSD CS is amazing

[real geyser]

ucsd cs is fire

[sleek sluice]

i live in SD 🥲

[real geyser]

i got wl'ed lol

[sleek sluice]

yea i know

[radiant dawn]

Oh LOL

Tough

[safe acorn]

I got straight up rejected lol

[mighty citrus]

Prestige is so local though. You could anyone in the Midwest that you go to UIUC and they'd be more impressed than if you said USC

[safe acorn]

Irvine, LA and SD all rejected me

[radiant dawn]

Based

[radiant dawn]

What is sa

[short jewel]

another reason i like ucsb is their CoE is really small so i feel its easier to connect to professors and get more attention

right?

[safe acorn]

oops meant sd

i just accidentally invented a new uc

[real geyser]

as an intl indian student the only schools my parents knew were stanford, berkeley and harvard

[radiant dawn]

Was gonna mention this it's absolutely amazing

[mighty citrus]

LMFAO that's so relatable, and also sad because those are so unachievable

[safe acorn]

that's definitely something important to consider

[short jewel]

1500 undergrads at CoE

250 in ee at ucsb

super super small

[safe acorn]

Yeah damn that's really small

[radiant dawn]

Ucsb engineering is literally Caltech

[safe acorn]

Though being in Honors also does help you stand out from the crowd

[radiant dawn]

To an extent yeah

[short jewel]

james honor is mid

for uiuc

[radiant dawn]

Yeah

[sleek sluice]

wait what

[short jewel]

its just early enrollment not really that much else

[sleek sluice]

do they accept no one

[short jewel]

huh

[safe acorn]

really? damn

[short jewel]

yep

[safe acorn]

then yeah probably just go ucsb

and enjoy your life

[radiant dawn]

Kinda yeah but was referring to class size that's it

[sleek sluice]

what abt UCSB CS

[radiant dawn]

Was a joke

It's rly good

[short jewel]

caltech is way smaller lol

[sleek sluice]

yea i heard their class size is small

[short jewel]

than ucsb coe

[radiant dawn]

Yeah ik I'm just kidding

Loll

[short jewel]

oh ok

[radiant dawn]

Ucsb ccs is literally Caltech too

I love ccs but those fuckers rejected my 3.6 ass

[short jewel]

isnt ucsb other two college decently sized

[radiant dawn]

Ccs is really small

Like in the low hundreds I believe

[short jewel]

what is there other college called

they enroll 4000 per year

[radiant dawn]

Idk they have arts and science

Or whatever it's called

[short jewel]

so majority in their other college

[radiant dawn]

And then engineering and then ccs

[radiant dawn]

Yeah it has the most majors also

[short jewel]

ucsb CoE enrollement

[radiant dawn]

Damn

[safe acorn]

damn that's pretty small

[short jewel]

yea so its really good

uiuc is huge

[real geyser]

wow this has really turned into a ucsb uiuc thread

[radiant dawn]

Lmao

[safe acorn]

lol

[radiant dawn]

I hope I at least get waitlisted from uw Madison

But whatever

Not looking too bright

[short jewel]

you can do this!

[radiant dawn]

[cursive fern]

What time would it be

[drifting mesa]

people are saying 8 pm EST

[drifting mesa]

i don't remember there being a notification for ea as well but i could be wrong

[mighty citrus]

Echoing what @drifting mesa said, decisions would release in about 43 minutes, 5:00 PM, 7:00 PM CST, or 8:00 PM EST or

[sand kayak]

they send out notif an ~hour after releasing decision iirc?

[mighty citrus]

Yea

Around about

[cursive fern]

Losing my mind

[sand kayak]

might very well be next week tbh

[neon coral]

waitlisted 💀

[patent seal]

looks like nobody was rejected

[warm folio]

people were

check #💪-chad-rejects

[patent seal]

either admitted or offered waitlist

[rose eagle]

i think wl = yield protect

[warm folio]

wrong

[patent seal]

💀

did they just auto waitlist a bunch of people

[warm folio]

jfc its a public uni yield is n't on their midn

[drifting mesa]

yield protect trust

💯

[warm folio]

yall i have a 4.7W gpa

[sand kayak]

yeah lol, they're notorious for that

[warm folio]

i think i'd personally know when a yieldprotect happens

and it didn't

[sand kayak]

^

they've gotten significantly more competitive this year though wow

[patent seal]

wtf

[drifting mesa]

what tf does auto waitlist mean

[warm folio]

auto...

waitlist?

[patent seal]

they waitlist a bunch of people

[full sleet]

waitlisted 💀

[drifting mesa]

i know but like why

[sand kayak]

waitlist literaly every applicant

in case yield goes wayyy south

[drifting mesa]

are they gauging interest if you opt into the waitlist

damn

[sand kayak]

purdue used to do that too

[last patio]

in at uw! 25k scholarship

[drifting mesa]

yay!!! congratulations

[fast latch]

what are the chances that you can get off the waitlist cuz last year they only took 11 out of 4000

[warm folio]

...

[sand kayak]

I'm guessing the chances are ~11/4000 then

[drifting mesa]

idt anyone can tell you the answer to that

[sand kayak]

💀

[patent seal]

?

[warm folio]

"guys how likely am i gonna win the lottery, last year it was 1%"

you just fucking gave yourself the answer

[graceful comet]

I’ve been accepted

[patent seal]

where did you get this

[drifting mesa]

not really?

[graceful comet]

Ayoooo

[fast latch]

Common data set

[graceful comet]

Sorry

[calm drift]

it means people who got waitlist accepted

people probably got off it but chose to go somewhere else(?)

oh wait

hm idk

[summer mortar]

Did anyone get rejected???

[last patio]

Accepted!

[drifting mesa]

apparently someone on CC did

[summer mortar]

Last year was the abnormally high yield one

[summer mortar]

Damn

[drifting mesa]

the broken heart emoji 😭 😭

[rose eagle]

i think it is

at least uw mad

is

i thikn

[last patio]

calm down

[last patio]

changes every year altho trend has been downward

it really depends on how well their yield algorithm works

[sand kayak]

wtf, I didn't even submit anything?????

[last patio]

they have software that predicts their yield and they admit based on that, like for example if predicted yield is 50% theyd admit 2x more than they have spots for or around there

so its hard to say really since we dont know where the ppl that got accepted will end up going 💀

[patent seal]

it depends on how many people actually accept their offer

[last patio]

ye so

basically how accurate their yield prediction was

like for neu and bu theyve publicy came out and said god damn we underestimate how many ppl would enroll so we're taking much less this year

[cedar hinge]

After Georgia Tech and Northwestern I got in with no idea it was tonight!!!

In state but I’m still happy

[sand kayak]

congrats!

madison's got the northwestern-style campus with gt-style academics. best of both worlds fr 😉

[cedar hinge]

Lmao didn’t want northwestern

Forgot to mention it was for CS too

[graceful comet]

Email them

[sand kayak]

just did

[patent seal]

why tf are they saying then 1 in 5 people get admitted off of the waitlist

[summer mortar]

deadass nobody got rejected other than a handful

waitlist to acceptance percentage abt to be painful

[last patio]

over the last 3 years

[patent seal]

did you get in?

[last patio]

the waitlist/overenrollment stuff started 1-2 yrs ago

[patent seal]

wouldn't last 3 years be 2020, 2021, 2022?

[summer mortar]

wl

[patent seal]

same

[summer mortar]

ima go cry in a corner

ok a couple ppl got rejected on CC

[sand rapids]

Denied

[summer mortar]

WE CRY IN SOLIDARITY

wtf im seeing some hella high stat ppl get rejected

uhhhhhh

[graceful comet]

I’m sorry people who got rejected, I’m sure you will end up somewhere that fits you perfectly

[cursive fern]

What was the CS accept rate??

[elfin star]

you don’t get accepted for CS

you get into their college of L&S

[cursive fern]

?

[fervent raven]

ye there r requirements to declare but its not too difficult

[worldly dagger]

@sand kayak super happy for you man, congrats on UW!!!

[upbeat thunder]

wait is got in as cs bs

[worldly dagger]

Great academics (and great speedcubing!) up there

[upbeat thunder]

but this is not direct admit?

[sand kayak]

thank you! def my top choice! actually committed there last year too lol

[sand kayak]

omw to be the 3rd delegate in the madison area 😉

[cedar hinge]

Lol I can already declare

[elfin star]

yeah, this is normal

you just have to take some pre-requisite courses and get a certain grade on them

It’s super easy though from what I’ve heard

[fervent raven]

For cs?

[cedar hinge]

To CS? I’m p sure as long as your demonstrated major on your app profile is you just need programming 300 to declare

[grave hornet]

Waitlisted 😃

[elfin star]

?

[fervent raven]

I got all the requirements except I need like one cs and one math class

[upbeat thunder]

oh nice

[fervent raven]

Cuz I got up to calc bc and csa

[cedar hinge]

[fervent raven]

Dual enrollment?

[worldly dagger]

Yoooooo

[elfin star]

[cedar hinge]

Yeah cuz I love so close to campus

[fervent raven]

Ah ic

[elfin star]

see _ Computer Science Major Declaration Requirements_

[fervent raven]

I mean the reqs aren’t too hard (lemme not talk too soon)

[elfin star]

yeah. if Madison wasn’t cold, I’d have committed right away

[sand kayak]

one look at the campus is all it takes lol

I took madison super for-granted last year. decided to commit there instead of purdue on literally the last day

[graceful comet]

I live in Iowa so …

[gloomy token]

Waitlisted 😔

[elfin star]

idk how the weather in Iowa is but my Indian ass could never handle that amount of cold

I freeze in Mumbai winters

[opal stratus]

Good luck everyone

[graceful comet]

Get a thick coat
