[proper ingot]

💀

[regal torrent]

but y'all go to such boujie schools even if public

[young shale]

yep finally they start using the money towards schools😭

[regal torrent]

mine is already decent in terms of funding and usnews rankings but it's nothing like this futuristic shit

[young shale]

no one can survive 4 years in the old environment

[proper ingot]

[young shale]

What the hell

[proper ingot]

local CC

[young shale]

that looks like a high class mall

[regal torrent]

some cc's look straight up awesome tbh

[proper ingot]

yk what the crazy part is

they shifted to 70% online

[young shale]

LMDAOOOO

DAMN

[proper ingot]

only 30% of classes(which are literally j lab science) are physical

[regal torrent]

that's what i think of

[proper ingot]

lmao

so its like damn

yall got a nice ass campus

yall #1 transfer CC in Cali

and its cheap as fuck

[regal torrent]

honestly if you got to a cc in a decent area you're in pretty good hands

[proper ingot]

yea

except for CS

so I can't do it

[young shale]

meanwhile is the library of the one I go@to

😭😭

[proper ingot]

nor did I want to to begin w

[proper ingot]

damn

[regal torrent]

well for transfer but i mean you're still getting a great education

hell, probably even better than a research university

[young shale]

love taking advantage of the free classes as a high schooler >>>

[proper ingot]

[young shale]

taken 21 so far😻😻

BOU WHAT

NO WAY

[proper ingot]

oh 100%, all the profs are there part time from UCLA and USC

[young shale]

they should turn it into a university at this point

too fancy

[proper ingot]

oh no thats the city library

[regal torrent]

community college professors job focus is to actually teach students, at research universities that isn't always the case

[proper ingot]

which is basically the CC library if u attend

[young shale]

oh damn wtff would never leave that place fr

[proper ingot]

but CS transfer rates are basically 0 to most schools

[proper ingot]

ong

except uh

one problem

rent

3.2k for a 2 bed 2 bat

[young shale]

yeaaa and the classes r way smaller s u can get to know them better

[proper ingot]

its basically UC SaMo

[regal torrent]

still better chances than freshman applicants probably

[proper ingot]

oh prolly

[young shale]

There's only like 50 open transfer places for ucb cs like damn

[proper ingot]

but its like I fought so hard to get the acceptances I have rn

so im not giving that up

[proper ingot]

acc wait i misread no its worse

[marble marsh]

W mindset

[regal torrent]

cs is great because you don't need to go to famous national university to get decent employment

[young shale]

do ur ccs have housing

[proper ingot]

UCLA CS transfer rate is 2%

compared to a near guarantee for other majors

[proper ingot]

no

thats the catch

[young shale]

ONG rip might as well do the next best thing engineering

[proper ingot]

but its 70% online

so like

[marble marsh]

Is business econ @ ucla selective

[young shale]

nah

[marble marsh]

Pre business econ*

[young shale]

only like cs is super capped and engineering is capped

[regal torrent]

i'm happy because i have an acceptance at sdsu for compeng and apparently i have good chances at merit so that's a computing education on the cheap

fuck yeah

[young shale]

nice 💪💪saving tuition money

[marble marsh]

Ah

[young shale]

and graduate early

[marble marsh]

I’m just worried cause I have Sus stats but good essay and EC

[proper ingot]

idk why i didnt apply to sjsu and sdsu

or USF and SCU

[marble marsh]

And cause for the Sus stats

[regal torrent]

depends on what you mean by sus stats

[proper ingot]

anyways guys

[young shale]

😭ye id u got like a 2.8 gpa in state then rip the ucs

[marble marsh]

Nah like much better than that

[young shale]

can't believe you need a 3.5 to apply to ucs if ur out of state

[regal torrent]

stats matter for predicting that a kid won't flunk out of college and that's pretty damn important so in general low stats are a problem

[proper ingot]

they need to up that even more

[young shale]

fr like we in state kids need less competition fr

[proper ingot]

like holy shit they know they can't serve in staters enough and they aren't making room fast enough

[marble marsh]

Yeah it’s not too low but it’s not super high

[proper ingot]

j cut down non-res mfs so we can get in

[young shale]

luckily they're making a lot of measures to raise the in state enrollment quota

[proper ingot]

have you seen the measures???

[young shale]

iNope how bad is it

[proper ingot]

"lower non-residents down to 18% of school pop by 2025"

its nothing

[young shale]

18%????

[proper ingot]

18% is fucking massive for a system as large as UC

it should be below 10% like UT and other schools

[young shale]

YEA

FR

[regal torrent]

uc is pretty good at taking kids from my school but things are a-changing so i'm on my toes

[young shale]

ye like 60% get into ucs

[proper ingot]

damn yall got high nums

lemme check mine 1s

[regal torrent]

i'm the kind of instater these laws are made for, kids who did well in school but aren't special and are hoping their state school gives them a chance

[young shale]

😿40 kids into ucb 30 kids into ucb 200 kids uci and like everyone ucr and ucm

ye pretty sure state public universities are meant for in staters

Well at least out of staters have to deal with crazy high tuition fees and no aid😭

[regal torrent]

my school is a pretty solid 30-40% ucsd/uci/ucsb, 10-20% ucb/ucla out of an applicant pool of about 200 each year

[young shale]

for us tuition is basically covered😻and the gold and blue plan>>>

[proper ingot]

left is applied right is accepted

history from 2000 to rn

[marble marsh]

Good luck guys, manifest 😊

[proper ingot]

thats like 90% of us

[young shale]

Damn the Santa Barbara numbers

[proper ingot]

we still dont get a chance

[regal torrent]

yeah, i'm manifesting
californian hopefuls rise up

[marble marsh]

W

[young shale]

😵‍💫yep and if not cc is amazing too

ccc transfer rates>>

[proper ingot]

we a smart school but way way more of a party schoo

[regal torrent]

at my school we do, but the way things are going we might not in the future

[proper ingot]

also weed and hard drugs are easy acces

[regal torrent]

that's what concerns me

[proper ingot]

indescribably easy

so most people dont care abt anyth or head straight to CC

[proper ingot]

damn

why do yall tho

[young shale]

yea😿vaping is a huge problem at most schools around me

[proper ingot]

bc like on any standard my stats should be insane but im expecting full reject from UCs

esp bc my essays were ass

[young shale]

bros got a vape pen and a teacher ignores it

[proper ingot]

vaping is half our school

[young shale]

FR

[proper ingot]

ppl smoke in class and ghost

[regal torrent]

the numbers from the uc's seem to imply that plenty of kids get in from my school every year

[proper ingot]

i quit a while back tho not sure abt others

[young shale]

🫣got 3 associate degrees too if one of the top ucs don't accept me...

IDK cali kids are try hard

[proper ingot]

ALSO

WAIT

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1051231428429496420/1071643018832117770/image.png

i misread this

left is ACCEPTD

RIGHT IS ENROLLED

[young shale]

WHATTT

[regal torrent]

your guys's numbers seem fine, you aren't being screwed over imo

[proper ingot]

across 23 years

[young shale]

330 out of 2000 applicants accepted

UCLA

WHATT

[regal torrent]

ohhhhh that's cumulative?

yikey

[young shale]

crazy how@long was it

or how many years

[proper ingot]

for 700 class avg each year

[regal torrent]

use the uc admissions by source tool

[proper ingot]

so 700*23

[regal torrent]

anyway the pro-oos bias is much less of a valid compliant than it used to be

[proper ingot]

okay this is high

lemme check specifics

[regal torrent]

what campus

[proper ingot]

uni wide

so it includes elc

this is berk

LA

[regal torrent]

that's 2021 i'm guessing

[proper ingot]

yea

irvine

[young shale]

Damn

[proper ingot]

SD

[young shale]

ucb for us

[proper ingot]

sb

[regal torrent]

lol our acceptance rates are around that ballpark or higher

[young shale]

uci goes crazy

[regal torrent]

in 2021 ucsd took legit half of us

[young shale]

like half get accepted

LMAOO I'm guessing u live in sd

[regal torrent]

yeah but i don't think they treat us specially

or i don't think they're supposed to

[young shale]

they love kids in the same city 😻😿

trapping people fr

no one wants to live in the same place for 21 years

[regal torrent]

i don't mind

i like my city because most people live in the middle of nowhere

people come here for vacation man i gotta appreciate that

[proper ingot]

what the fuck

[proper ingot]

tf u mean

did u see my UCLA ss?

they are 100% not trapping us in

[young shale]

maybe not ucla but the other ones

[proper ingot]

interesting....

[regal torrent]

ayo dox

[young shale]

YESSH

uc capped gpa

[proper ingot]

oh u right

[young shale]

that's rlly high 😭

[young shale]

for the admits

[proper ingot]

i have a 4.4 iirc

so ig im in a good spot but idk for CS

[young shale]

Damn u got the max for uc capped gpa?😭

nice

[proper ingot]

im lucky bc of early grad

only 1 year of school counts

and all my Bs are in freshman year

[young shale]

LMAO smart

love the ucs for not considering freshmen year grades>>>

[proper ingot]

fr

[regal torrent]

my school's applicant pool is a bit smaller

[proper ingot]

lemme recalc my gpa tho rq

[young shale]

all schools should do that fr

😔4.2 uc capped but 4.6 unweighted

wait actually do cc courses count in the uc application for uc capped

[regal torrent]

frrrrr it lets me pull crazy numbers like this

[proper ingot]

oh wait 4.32

[regal torrent]

also apparently i'm failing ap bio lol gotta fix that

[proper ingot]

if they're UC transferable

[young shale]

LMAOO DAMN 4.8 crazy

[proper ingot]

i'd have that rn

6 APs+3 CCs

[young shale]

pre calc h fucked everything up 😿

[young shale]

😫😫YAAAAAA that's a relief

[proper ingot]

CSU said i had a 4.23 tho iirc

idk if they incl freshman or if there was smt off ther

[young shale]

naw ur fit for ucs fr

[regal torrent]

csu includes freshman iirc

[proper ingot]

ah okay that makes sense

[young shale]

I swear if u got a high gpa ucb auto admits u😭every1 ik with a 4.9+ gpa got accepted

[regal torrent]

lol not us

[proper ingot]

4.9+

im sorry what

in what world do you have the ability to take that many AP/CCs

[regal torrent]

at my school kids with crazy gpa's get tossed from ucb unless they did every ec in the book

[young shale]

all As

crazy

[proper ingot]

how do yall do gpa what

[young shale]

[proper ingot]

[young shale]

[proper ingot]

[young shale]

naw dw you'll still get in u have crazy stats

[proper ingot]

hope so

[regal torrent]

3.94uw, 4.56w, 4.38c is what i get from that

not sure if your grade 10 summer classes are weighted so assuming they aren't

[young shale]

I think it is

[proper ingot]

they're weighted

all UC transferable

except for i think cloud comp

[tender elm]

cracked af

[proper ingot]

thx btw

[young shale]

what's cloud comp

[proper ingot]

its a sysadmin certification track my CC offers

[young shale]

Ohhh certification

[proper ingot]

basically take 4 courses and a test for cert

[young shale]

impressive

[proper ingot]

AWS & Azure stuff

[regal torrent]

that's cool as shit i wish i could dual enroll that

our de courses mid as hell, sociology, health, business like who gives a fuck

[proper ingot]

dang bruh what

yall aren't allowed to j pick a class at your CC?

[regal torrent]

no there's a few

[proper ingot]

my counselor will basically sign off on anything

[young shale]

Yeye that's the same for us

[proper ingot]

even a 2nd CC

[young shale]

as long as it's not sports

[proper ingot]

yea

[regal torrent]

do you guys actually have to pull up on campus to take them

[young shale]

we can take anything as long as the school approves and it's free

[proper ingot]

my CC is 70% online

[young shale]

not always

[proper ingot]

i could take the in person oens

but i avoid them

[regal torrent]

for us they have a special thing where profs stop by our school and that's why we're limited

[proper ingot]

ah ic

[young shale]

I took like 2 online but the other 19 were in person

ohhhh

[proper ingot]

yep same

[young shale]

Early college?

[proper ingot]

i got a bunch of grad reqs wiped and then for my lang and english req to grad early I signed up at a 2nd CC that offered lvl 3 Chinese

[proper ingot]

wym

[young shale]

we have professors come into our school too but we can also take as many classes at the cc

NICE

it's like a program to get ur igetc at ur hs

[proper ingot]

ohhh icic

[regal torrent]

i think i could do that if i really wanted to but idk anyone who's tried it

[young shale]

😭had to like 3 exams and an interview to get into the program

Yeye and an associates in social sciences

[proper ingot]

i have Arts, Social and LOTE down

[young shale]

we get 60 credits through the program

[proper ingot]

half of eng and half of science

so i'd need to take 3 more classes for IEGTC

[marble marsh]

Is gmp in 1 week too?

[proper ingot]

yea

[marble marsh]

Cool

[young shale]

you should@also talk to ur cc counselor and see if ur eligible for any associate degrees

[proper ingot]

me?

i doubt i am

[young shale]

never hurts u might be up for a surprise

gotta flex the degrees

[proper ingot]

def

i'll ask

[young shale]

Yeye gl

[proper ingot]

thx thx

[west sorrel]

in norcal too

I think every public school in CA tbh

[proper ingot]

prob

[civic knoll]

anyone know when UC Merced decisions come out?

And also UCLA and Cal?

[tender elm]

Heres a timeline...
scroll down to March

https://askmssun.com/uc-freshman-application-timeline/

UCM started rolling March 2nd

UCLA 18th

UCB 24th

[civic knoll]

regents?

[past root]

[quiet night]

I have no idea if I have a chance at UC Davis let alone UC Berkeley

[proper ingot]

i shoulda applied davis

[worthy tangle]

can someone explain to me the GPA comparison system? It seems that you get penalized for having more credits... (for everywhere except Berkley and LA)

[civic knoll]

its basically this weird capping thing all UCs except for Cal and UCLA do

its like no more than 8 sems of weighted courses between 10th and 11th

will be counted for UC GPA

anyway, dwai

since they look at ur course rigor too

its not like u should purposefully max out at 8 lmao

[worthy tangle]

thank goodness

[civic knoll]

just take as many as u can while getting high grades

[mint coyote]

Did anyone get a mid year request from UCSD?

[tender elm]

[dark leaf]

meow

[fluid cypress]

:>

[quiet night]

Idk if I should be doing anything for UC apps after I turned them in on november

[tender elm]

U don’t need to do anything unless u got audited, or were sent supplementals

[quiet night]

Alright

I just want to get into Davis, as long as I get into that I'll be happy at the minimum

[regal torrent]

do the uc's typically announce in advance the date they'll return decisions or is it always a surprise

[tender elm]

issa suprise

but the rumors tend to be right

[ruby vapor]

berkeley said march 30

[tranquil hull]

Ivy day

[haughty violet]

did we need an art class to apply to UCs?

[tender elm]

Fine art is one of the A-G reqs

[haughty violet]

welp

[lethal quarry]

what?

[tender elm]

whay

[abstract elm]

One year of fine arts or two semesters in the same discipline

[vestal plume]

iirc they count music in the arts section

[haughty violet]

isn’t it not supposed to let you submit if you don’t meet the A-G requirements?

[tender elm]

Are you OOS?

[young shale]

probs 😭like all California schools make u do fine arts and stuff

[haughty violet]

yes

[jagged wind]

nah ucla’s email of “life as a bruin” literally made me think i got in for a split second 😭😭

[lofty sage]

These people really need to stop naming their email subjects like this

[night mortar]

this is what's on UCLA's school of arts and architecture's website

arts and architecture kids get their acceptances the same as anyone else in any other college at ucla so i'm guessing it's the 17th or 24th lol

[dark leaf]

god mid to late march ill be dead by then 😭

[tender elm]

1 month from now

It’ll be here sooner than u think

[dark leaf]

god

in one month so many ias i have to complete

[lethal quarry]

after 6pm pacific 😔

[night mortar]

hahahaha ig so no one will be at school

[lethal quarry]

yeah loll

[ruby vapor]

yeah

[jagged wind]

i swear berkeley terrifies me

[lethal quarry]

how is berkeley regents scholarship wtv selected?

there’s no shot they went through 150k apps within 2.5 months and chose the top of the pool right?

[tender elm]

they pick names out of a hat

[lethal quarry]

🤣

anyone more serious than benz answer plz 😁

[tender elm]

No

I’m the op

[lethal quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/will-ferrell-anchorman-argue-gif-10865482

[zealous sinew]

every applicant's application is read by 2 people in the month of December

[ruby vapor]

they definitely can sort through by stats to find the top of the pool

[lethal quarry]

wow really??

how large is their office?

[zealous sinew]

there's probably some interns too

[tender elm]

Troll

Ek propaganda

[regal torrent]

the uc's do everything en masse so honestly i'm not too surprised that admissions results are as random as they are

they glance over your stuff in like 5min and yeah

[worthy tangle]

What are they waiting for lol

[lethal quarry]

that is not large at all 💀

[zealous sinew]

well now you know

[zealous sinew]

they are now comparing you to others

💀

[tender elm]

Old news

[night mortar]

nah i played it today

[tender elm]

How w was it

[night mortar]

i got the tommy trojan ending 💀

it was fun lowkey but frustrating at times cause it seemed like santabaraba had one voice line

the whole time

[regal torrent]

just me or is ucr kind hard to rizz

[night mortar]

yea she too busy w being a unicorn startup owner

i eventually did it tho it took like 50 days

[regal torrent]

notably uci is by far the easiest because she pops up all the damn time

[night mortar]

did you figure out where to find stanford

[regal torrent]

in the garden at walks at night i think

or was that usc

[night mortar]

that's usc

[regal torrent]

stanford's on the field i think

which you have to grind the gym to get to

[night mortar]

oh shit

ig it's cause i was playing on the web player

i would always press space on the right time when doing the pushups

but it would fail me

[jagged wind]

has ucsc released any early decisions yet or is it too early still

[tender elm]

a lil early

might be soon tho, who knows

[jagged wind]

i rly hope i’m in the early batch

just want to get ucsc over with ngl

[tender elm]

didnt u alr get santa clara?

[jagged wind]

yeah

super expensive tho

[regal grove]

There’s an early batch?

When

[dark leaf]

which one is which :0

why is stanford cute 💀

[west sorrel]

Bruh why would UCSC do this 😭😭😭😭

First line of email: we’re delighted that

[lofty sage]

These people are torturing us

[west sorrel]

2nd line: you’ve applied to UCSC

[zealous sinew]

UCSC first round will prob come in less than 10 days

[regal grove]

WHAT

source?

and is it only for the top applicants

[lofty sage]

Last year ucsc did an early round in mid Feb

[zealous sinew]

no random, u can get rejected, waitlisted, or accepted

[regal grove]

i kinda screwed up

i submitted a grade fail form

but i didnt realize

i thought it was just a generic update form

[zealous sinew]

it was Feb 25

[regal grove]

so yeah

they might think im failing

but im not

[zealous sinew]

call em

[regal grove]

eh idc tbh

but im just bored and want a decision.

idc from what school

[tender elm]

bro

u gotta let em know

if u fail a class, ur not eligible for admissions

[regal grove]

in the form i just provided an update

i didnt say i failed

it was a grade fail form

[tender elm]

what did u say then

[regal grove]

i wrote a generic update like i gave them a new link

cuz the first link in my app was screwed up

[tender elm]

oh ic

[regal grove]

i didnt say i was failing

so it prob is fine

[tender elm]

ok

[zealous sinew]

dw March will be here soon, and you will get a bloodbath of decisions

[regal grove]

*rejections

[young onyx]

*acceptances

[regal grove]

is uc merced still accepting apps

my friend needs a safety asap

[tender elm]

check the UC app

it'll show if its still available

but imo its kinda late

[regal grove]

yeah i told him to apply

he didnt listen

[tender elm]

its ok

he shouldnt apply unless he would acc go

[regal grove]

now that he got rejected by sjsu, he wants to apply now

[tender elm]

hes ca in state right

[regal grove]

yes

[tender elm]

well if hes elc, hes guaranteed merced

[regal grove]

elc is what?

[regal torrent]

top 9% class rank

[regal grove]

but he didnt apply

[regal grove]

no

[tender elm]

yea yea

[ruby vapor]

uneducated > merced

[regal torrent]

if you're top 9% class rank and no other uc accepts you, you're merced autoadmit

[tender elm]

if every uc rejects u, theyll offer u a spot at merced

yea

[regal grove]

well he isnt top 9%

[tender elm]

it shows

in ur app

[regal grove]

i think merced is closed now

rip

i cant add merced so its closed

[regal torrent]

i am so fearful of this outcome

[tender elm]

shiii

i got into merced, riverside, and santa cruz

those were the only direct accepts

[regal torrent]

i wanna see if i can crack uci, ucsb, or ucsd

[ruby vapor]

ucsc is just hella old

[regal torrent]

my criteria for applying to colleges was would i rather go there over my safety

[west sorrel]

As if this is much better 💀

[tender elm]

everything is like Lincoln log cabins

[west sorrel]

[tender elm]

[regal torrent]

[regal torrent]

[tender elm]

[regal torrent]

[tender elm]

[regal torrent]

if i get in i'll show you around

[tender elm]

mmmmk

[west sorrel]

Someone continue the ! chain in #1050953827186114581

[ruby vapor]

if a UC sends me one more email that isn’t important i’m gna kms

[jagged wind]

literally

[quiet night]

I'm so worried about not getting into davis

Honestly after seeing some videos I really love the campus

[tender elm]

sometimes i regret choosing ucsd

mayb i shouldve went w davis

[quiet night]

I just don't know whether I stand a chance at Davis or not

Ik it's not as selective as other schools but still

[tender elm]

its a T38

still decently competitive

davis's rate last year was 37.5%

[quiet night]

Ye

Just dk if my ECs are good enough to give me a big enough chance at it

Idk a lot of stuff up in the air

[west sorrel]

Same man 😭

What are ur stats

[zealous sinew]

i rest my case

[quiet night]

Idk my UC GPA

Cba to recalculate it

[tender elm]

Fair enough EK

[quiet night]

35 ACT superscore but UC doesn't take it

Only thing that carries me imo are my extracurriculars

[worthy tangle]

Anyone know the average fully weighted gpa for out of state

[rare carbon]

uc and csu gpa are weird asf dunno how to calculate it genuinely

[tender elm]

It is weird

[rare carbon]

cause i got admitted into sjsu computer science (non santa clara resident) and the csu website said i had a 4.14

[tender elm]

But u can use an online calculator

[rare carbon]

which doesnt meet impaction

but i have 15 DE courses so

my UC GPA is around a 4.8?

but like i have no idea what gpa they even use

[tender elm]

That doesn’t sound right

[young shale]

I think the max uc gpa is 4.4

weighed

[tender elm]

Yea

[rare carbon]

theres uncapped

in the counselor handbook

here lemme send it me counselor sent it to me before

capped is not really used at all

[young shale]

I heard that ucb and ucla look at both weighed and capped but the others looked at capped

look

[rare carbon]

https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/counselors/_files/documents/quick-reference.pdf

page 18

it shows how to calculate it too

also capped gpa is messed up bc more APs + DEs = less GPA

so i highly doubt they even look at it at all, its probably used to like sort or something and for data reporting

and instead they look at "course rigor" holistically

[quiet night]

how hard is OOS davis?

[zealous sinew]

i have a friend that goes to Davis from Oregon, he told me his Essays and ECs were very weak, but he had strong academics,(took APs, good GPA, 1570 SAT)

[quiet night]

alright then, I think I have a shot

my essays are ok but my ECs are my strongest part

[west sorrel]

Only correct UC Tier list

/s

[calm atlas]

Period !

[edgy kestrel]

jeezz 20 acceptances??!

[calm atlas]

Yeah

[ivory glade]

what stats

[calm atlas]

3.95UW/4.77W, 1430 SAT, ranked 3/140

[edgy kestrel]

wow

lmao

then there's me with 2 acceptances from my safeties

[regal torrent]

admissions by source has now been updated with data from last cycle- go check out how your upperclassmen fared in admissions
https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/about-us/information-center/admissions-source-school

from what i can tell at my school ucsd was just slightly above the average but uci and ucla were disasters

but the cycle before that ucsd literally took half the applicants from my school so the fact that we still have a normal acceptance rate after that isn't so bad

[young shale]

😭 from my school ucb accepted more people (45) and the acceptance rate for uci went down like 20%

25 people for ucla same as the past 5 years

aint no way ucsd acceptance rate fell 10%

[regal torrent]

25%? i like those odds

[gilded rain]

why doesn't my school have statistics for the asian kids that got admitted 💀

119 kids applied to LA, only 9 got in. shoutout to the one chad kid who chose not to enroll tho lmfao

[young shale]

idk what the kids at my school are on but like more than half didnt even enroll in ucla

that got accepted

[gilded rain]

certified t10 moment

[young shale]

rich kid moment

[gilded rain]

bet they went to usc lmfao

[tender elm]

UC L

[young shale]

ucsd best looking campus fs

plus the scooters were so fun although it cost like $10 for half a hour

[regal torrent]

i love scooters

[worthy tangle]

Bro my school’s average gpa jumped a whole .26

Naw wtf

[tender elm]

lmao u rode for 30 mins

once u enroll, u get free unlocks on the spins

[young shale]

the app is so stupid "recommend your friends for free rides" or like how does it work

[tender elm]

if u rec a friend and they download the app, you both get a free $5 credit

during orientation a kid got like $50 worth of creds by getting everyone to use his code lmao

[young shale]

genius 😭😭😭ALSO are the three pillars in front of the engineering building meant to be like broken

if it isn't 💀💀switching from structural engineering to urban studies fr

[gaunt oasis]

omg i went on one of the scooters when i toured ucsd in december theyre fun but kinda pricey

[vivid shell]

Anyone know when ucsc came out last year?

[regal torrent]

early mar i think

all the "safety" uc's come early

[ancient raven]

The 25th

[tender elm]

https://askmssun.com/uc-freshman-application-timeline/

Scroll down to march and you’ll see all the dates from last year

[zealous sinew]

Feb 25th was first round

[vivid shell]

Can we expect that this year too then?

[edgy kestrel]

Did you guys all get UC fin aid email

[zealous sinew]

yes, give or take a day or 2

[zealous sinew]

no cause im int'l

[gilded kindle]

yeah, and im intl so idt thats the reason @zealous sinew

just wait a while ig

[worthy tangle]

How can you tell if your fafsa has been received by the IC schools

UC*

Can you check via their portals

[young shale]

idk I could tell bc I got the cal grant email

[regal torrent]

only uci tells you

[worthy tangle]

Bruh I’m just gonna trust in what my fafsa page tells me then

[merry minnow]

If u got the Fafsa email does that mean they didn't get it

[tall leaf]

i submitted my fafsa and also got ton of those aid emails

[merry minnow]

I'm pretty sure i submitted it too

[tall leaf]

ik fs irvine got mine already tho

[regal torrent]

they'll get it and if somehow they didn't you can figure that out when you enroll

i wouldn't worry

[gilded rain]

ucs sending out financial aid emails be like

https://tenor.com/view/morshu-zelda-you-will-buy-from-me-gif-16437133

[merry minnow]

Fin aid doesn't affect admissions right

Like do I need to worry about it if I'm not eligible for need based aid and I don't want a loan?

[humble flare]

Is it on app status portal?

[tired nest]

how would you rank the UCs based on best parties?

[young shale]

1. UCSB
2. Ucla
3. Every other uc

maybe uscs for 3

ucsc I

[ruby vapor]

W way to choose a school

[tender elm]

nawww

u forgot ucsd in that list

[west sorrel]

-100. UCSD

[young shale]

probably yes with scholarships

they give like very little aid to oos people rip

[worthy tangle]

look at their OOS yield rate

[tender elm]

i dont think they specify oos rates do they?

[young shale]

idk I've heard somewhere that it's 18% throughout all the ucs

ucsd had the most like at 40~% oos attending

[vivid shell]

so we can expect ucsc to come out tmrw?

since they dropped decisions on the 25th last time

[tender elm]

maybe some of them, but not all

[stiff scaffold]

Gl to yall if UCSC comes out tmr! 🙏

[stiff scaffold]

Well last year it came out on the last Friday of February, also I am saying "if" it comes out, so it is just a possibility

[dim sinew]

P sure it's only for really talented individuals right?

[zealous sinew]

no, its random

[sterile saffron]

this was on the portal, so there's a decent chance they do release today

[zealous sinew]

last year it was at 11:48 AM PST, soo ig it will come out around that time

[vagrant briar]

Don’t they do waves

[zealous sinew]

yes

[lofty sage]

So basically you don't want to get in today lol

And want to get in later

[dim sinew]

Oh damn

[jagged wind]

guys my ucsc portal is always stuck at the gold password

how do you get past that?

[vivid shell]

Did ucsc come out?

[sterile saffron]

just chekced

it didnt, for me at least

[sterile saffron]

the gold password?

[rigid birch]

same

[spice pike]

i didnt get anything yet ^^

i was so confused by the portal and almost withdrew my application 😭

[lofty sage]

Mine has been loading for 5 minutes straight

[sterile saffron]

[lofty sage]

Is the portal loading for you guys?

Bruh this portal is shit

[sterile saffron]

yeah its fine for me, it just says that my application is still in review

[lofty sage]

Yeah I'm able to log in

But then it's just a blank page

[sterile saffron]

oh thats strange

[spice pike]

[jagged wind]

the portal is so confusing lmao
