ALL UC MEGATHREAD 🐻🐮🐴🐻🐱🐶🔱🤠🐌 (2022-2023)

[tender elm]

Yea

[gaunt oasis]

oh ok cool

what did u put in ur ucsd loci?

[tender elm]

If u get rejected, u can send an appeal update

Which is essentially a loci

UCSD didn’t have a loci

But UCD did

I didn’t really have anything new, so I just wrote a short why UCD

[gaunt oasis]

alr i’ll write smth up for why ucsb bc it’s my top choice

[tender elm]

Idk if ucsb has a loci for WL, but they do have that appeal letter

[sterile horizon]

Didn’t even get my acceptance 😔

I rlly rlly want it to be the 17th or the 30th. Like Luke until now I wasn’t excited cus it was such a long wait time but now it’s just right around the corner

The moment we all been waiting for is so close yet so far

[primal meteor]

Is ucsb out? I saw someone got accepted

Someone in the celebration email got a email

[worthy tangle]

Yeah I saw that too

[primal meteor]

It might be just for the open house?

Oh nvm the person said their decision is still pending

[worthy tangle]

[warm burrow]

i didn't get this

[primal meteor]

Yep

[calm atlas]

Is this just for CCS applicants?

[primal meteor]

What do you mean by ccs?

[calm atlas]

College of creative studies cz I saw someone who applied to this college got this email a week ago

[primal meteor]

Oh I’m not sure.. maybe they signed up for an open house?

[quiet night]

No, UCSD UCD and then two reaches

[eager badger]

yes

[warm burrow]

is there any reason why some people got early release and some didn't or is it just random?

[calm atlas]

Afaik random

[tender elm]

Congrats!

[eager badger]

@tender elm is UCSB rolling out decisions?

[tender elm]

No

UCSB releases everything on one day

[eager badger]

I see

the email in #✨-celebration-station isn't an acceptance?

#✨-celebration-station message

[tender elm]

That’s just an invitation to an open house

It’s not an indication of a decision

[eager badger]

wording weird innit

"welcome to UCSB"

anyway yeah u right

[gilded scroll]

I did ccs but I did not get email

[tender elm]

Yea they’re prob just gonna talk ab some of their programs and school life

[eager badger]

[west sorrel]

Did people get email about UCSC honors?

[gilded scroll]

nope

[humble flare]

Yea I did too

What is this

[eager badger]

yeah I got this

do we get scholarships

[west sorrel]

Any any of you get regents?

[gilded scroll]

"In Fall 2022, the College Scholars Program moved to admitting the full cohort of scholars in the fall quarter. Each year approximately 250 new frosh join the College Scholars Program. A selected group of frosh admitted to UC Santa Cruz are invited to join the program based on a variety of strengths evident in their application and with a mind to balancing the cohort across colleges and academic disciplines. "

[covert sorrel]

i got it

yall know i gotta ask

[warm burrow]

Did anyone get an email from UCI about some law program

[covert sorrel]

does this mean anything

[warm burrow]

yeah

i got this too

[covert sorrel]

maybe everyone got it then

nvm

damn i got all excited

[warm burrow]

did u apply law?

[covert sorrel]

no i applied CS

considering law potentially

[warm burrow]

oh

[covert sorrel]

why tf would they say "special invitation" when its sent just because we applied??

[warm burrow]

lmfao

idk

wait

[sand snow]

They’re all so weird

[warm burrow]

did anyone else get it?

[sand snow]

I did too

[warm burrow]

yeah

then's prob everyone

[sand snow]

It’s just like when ucla keeps sending us emails😭

[covert sorrel]

righttt

[warm burrow]

they gotta stop playing with our feelings 😭

[covert sorrel]

nah this wording is crazy th

[sand snow]

FR

[covert sorrel]

fr someone in the admissions office is getting a kick out of this one

[eager badger]

I never get the ucla emails ever

[warm burrow]

did you receive the irvine law email

[lucid bane]

yes

[eager badger]

yes

[tender elm]

yes

[eager badger]

he wants to be involved

Benz I want to get in ucsd

can u pull some strings

ucsd is so 🤌🤌

[tender elm]

why we gotta talk ab emails all day

mannnn

😴

[autumn trellis]

might be because you're international

[west sorrel]

I’m also international and always get the emails like 5 hours late

[eager badger]

lol I got iy

[regal torrent]

ain't no uc be sending me emails

i feel unloved

[tender elm]

uclove

[still snow]

did everyone get that?

[past root]

2 qs is the scholars program for ucsc selective and prestigious

and does it have any correlation with regents?

[west sorrel]

^Someone said a select group is invited to join

Don’t think it’s that prestigious tho based on the video they sent

And Benz said they’ll tell you in the email if you got regents

[steady lichen]

I mean it’s 250 ppl so kinda but idk

idk im just trying to make myself feel better 😭

[west sorrel]

250 that accepts 💀

[steady lichen]

oh

I forgot about that part

[west sorrel]

Idk if that’s good or not 😂

Hopefully have something to do with scholarships

[steady lichen]

I hope so regents would be nice

if they haven’t been released already

[west sorrel]

Haven’t heard anyone getting regents from UCSC

[steady lichen]

yeah me too

someone said they usually send out later

so hopefully that’s true

[west sorrel]

Yeah

But isn’t regents like $2000/year 💀

[steady lichen]

20000

[west sorrel]

???

[steady lichen]

wait

it’s says 20000 over 4 years

is that 5000 per year

or 20000 each year

[warm burrow]

Wait

Isn’t in state tuition

Only like 15k a year

[west sorrel]

Paid over 4 years

[steady lichen]

is it lietrally just 5000 then 💀

[west sorrel]

So like 5000 per year and in state pay 10000 per year 💀

[steady lichen]

BRUH

[west sorrel]

Idk is that a lot for UCs?

[steady lichen]

no

they are so expensive oos

this is like a tiny dent

in the tuition

but ig any aid is appreciated

for Berkeley it says minimum 2500 for regents

so idk what it goes up to

so even lower than sc 😭

[west sorrel]

Most UCs it’s like $40000/year for everything

[steady lichen]

everything?

[west sorrel]

For IN STATE

[steady lichen]

oh

💀

[west sorrel]

Like room board books tuition food etc

[steady lichen]

yeah I was like no way that’s for oos

[west sorrel]

Wait are u oos

[steady lichen]

yes

[west sorrel]

Bruh

UCs are so expensive for OOS

Hope you get scholarships ❤️

[steady lichen]

tyty

[young onyx]

I just realized its like the same cost as umich

[vestal plume]

oos cost?

[vestal plume]

🫠

[young onyx]

an eye watering 74k

[west sorrel]

WTH

5k really is barely a dent

[young onyx]

and thats on the offical uc website

[vestal plume]

i mean california rent is crazy

[young onyx]

also some programs cost more of course

[vestal plume]

berkeley housing 💀

[west sorrel]

I don’t understand tuition

Is it based on the #of units you take?

[tender elm]

🤩

[west sorrel]

Or same no matter how many classes to take

[young onyx]

its usually a set cost for a range of credits

im not sure abt ucs though

[vestal plume]

they roll 5 dice and the numbers that come up make the tuiton, and the largest number is always the leading digit

[ivory glade]

normally its the community colleges that do it by credits

and universities do it my yearly tuition for a min and max number of creds

[west sorrel]

Ah thx!

[glass dome]

Did anyone else get a “special invitation” to UCI law?

[vestal plume]

i am pretty sure everyone gets it

[glass dome]

Why are they sending me law school stuff I’m premed wtf

Ok yea I was confused as to why they sent it

[regal grove]

@tender elm when did u get ur ucd decision

last year

i believe they should be coming soon right

[vivid shell]

march 10 or march 3

[zealous sinew]

theres no way it comes out on march 3

that has never happended

[regal grove]

so this friday possibly 🥶

[regal grove]

this is why i ask benz to see when he got it

ms. sun's website removed last year's dates

[zealous sinew]

last was March 11

[regal grove]

rip

another week i guess

[tender elm]

3/11

[sterile saffron]

yep i got it

[gaunt oasis]

riverside and merced should be coming out this thurs or fri

banking on riverside bc that’s my safety uc 🤞

if i can just get into ucr at least then i’ll be ok

[tacit iron]

wait rlly

[gaunt oasis]

yea bc last year ucr and ucm released all decisions on march 2nd

[rare carbon]

I’m going to piss

There’s no way it’s only 2 or 3 weeks away

[gaunt oasis]

ikr

my anxiety is gonna be crazy the whole month

we got this tho, we came this far

[tacit iron]

😭 😭 😭 😭

[rare carbon]

I literally dgaf about any other schools besides UC bc they are so expensive even though I applied to like 10 more

[gaunt oasis]

UCs are so evil for making us wait this many months

[tacit iron]

FR

[young shale]

ye applied as civil engineering major and got it

[rare carbon]

At least I secured sjsu cs so it’s a sign 😩 less worried but still puking level worried

[vestal plume]

real

i'm sure it'll all be ok

[thorn solstice]

What ucs have released decisions?

[gilded scroll]

Only ucsc for some people

[lofty sage]

Ucsc only

[ancient raven]

Did everyone who got into ucsc yday get the college scholar program email thing today

[real rock]

did yall get this from UCI?

[ancient raven]

yes

[real rock]

ic ic

[lofty sage]

Sadly no 😔

[sterile horizon]

Anyone do the ucsd residency form

They are asking it for me

In state

[snow creek]

literally

[snow creek]

yeah when i first submitted my app

[vivid shell]

idt it indicates anything right?

[tender elm]

It’s not good lmao

U were supposed to submit that a long time ago

It was in the portal

[sterile horizon]

….

Imma do it tonight🙄

[regal grove]

https://ucop.edu/institutional-research-academic-planning/_files/factsheets/2023/table-1.1-freshman-applications-by-campus-and-residency.pdf

[snow creek]

my heart is broken

that decisions come out soon

[sterile horizon]

I’m the opposite. Though the confidence of me getting into schools is starting to slowly dissipate

[snow creek]

bro i applied to 5 schools in total

😭😭😭

legit 5-6 schools or some shit

there r ppl who applied to like 40

[sterile horizon]

I only applied to 6 or 7

Out of those 3 are not rlly a reach but a reach cus they are so competitive

[lofty sage]

I got into my alternative major for ucsc. Realistically speaking are there any chances of me getting into other ucs?

[merry minnow]

Yes

[warm burrow]

there always is

there have been so many cases where people get rejected from every UC except for one

or two

[rigid birch]

can 3 grammatical errors in the activities section break my application? essays are perfect tho

[bright frigate]

Yes, your whole high school is blacklisted by all of the UCs now

[vestal plume]

you aren't going to be rejected for 3 grammar mistakes

[tender elm]

i got rejected by all the name brand UCs

and i had like 5 mistakes
2 minor spelling within the activities
2 typos in an essay
and i forgot to report a whole fucking class lmao

(my senior year philosophy elective)
luckily they were cool ab it and it also gave me a valid reason to send an appeal to all of the schools

[west sorrel]

You appealed on grounds of spelling mistakes?💀💀💀

[lofty sage]

Can I appeal for my choice of major?

[tender elm]

No, forgetting to report a class was pretty major

I could have gotten rescinded ngl, and I was pretty paranoid ab it

[tender elm]

Prob not? They don’t really encourage appeals unless you have really really compelling new information

[violet hemlock]

not too difficult to switch majors if it's not a capped one; if it is unlucky and wait for other schools

though it's not impossible to switch into a capped major ik a few people who got into cs/engineering

[lofty sage]

CS lol. Although I also like comp eng but I couldn't find any info if it is capped

[young shale]

https://dailybruin.com/2023/01/24/budget-proposal-would-include-ucla-in-transfer-admission-guarantee-program

Hallelujah

please😿

[foggy crow]

Congrats!

[regal torrent]

fr
any acceptance for me is a miracle

[gaunt oasis]

happy march 1st y’all

it’s officially admission decision month

[lofty sage]

It's officially my rejection month

[gilded scroll]

Yes

[hearty dagger]

is riverside and merced coming out today?

[gilded scroll]

I doubt it

[tacit iron]

UCM dropped

[regal torrent]

happy decision month everyone, hope you guys like the banner i made

[tender elm]

It’s very nice, Ty keybored

[lofty sage]

Fr?

[tacit iron]

Yup

It came out

[lofty sage]

It should be bogus

I doubt that the ucs would communicate with each other if they admitted a student or not

[sterile horizon]

Once 17th hits this chat going crazy

[halcyon pecan]

they made it clear that one campuses decision will not affect another

[lofty sage]

Your prediction about merced came out to be true. Any idea about riverside?

[regal torrent]

tomorrow or friday i bet

for high stats

[gilded scroll]

W deron

[halcyon pecan]

Firestar

GL on econ

[gilded scroll]

is it bad

I haven’t studied yet

[bitter zephyr]

Not really

UCSD sent me that type of email right after I applied

way before I got in

it's just their method of verifying you are an in-state student

[regal grove]

did ucr come out

[bitter zephyr]

UCR usually comes sometime now

check in the evening

[dense flare]

Does UCSC release everday or is the next batch in mid march?

[tough jolt]

7/10 lol

[regal torrent]

i think last year ucr came out on the 2nd?

[bitter zephyr]

I just meant sometime as in sometime this week

not sometime today

[regal torrent]

if they go by day of week then it'd be today

if by date, tomorrow

[desert shell]

Have there been any UC transfer results yet? Or just HS?

[gilded scroll]

6/10

[halcyon pecan]

I FUMBLED SO HARD

[pallid ermine]

Halo

[halcyon pecan]

same

[stone idol]

Cal/UCLA out ?

[tough jolt]

i didn’t think it was that bad while taking it this is so sad

[stiff scaffold]

No?

[gilded scroll]

SAME

Ngl I thought I was gonna get a 9 or 10…

[tender elm]

UCB scheduled for the 30th
UCLA possibly on the 17th

[civic verge]

Cal*

[tender elm]

state

[sterile horizon]

Wait was ucsc first batch high stats?

[thorn solstice]

where did you find this?

[tender elm]

UCB should have sent u an email announcing the date

UCLA has traditionally always released on the 3rd Friday of March

[tender elm]

No, it was random

[zealous sinew]

random acceptances, since they were all acceptances

[regal torrent]

as has ucsd, even more consistently

[queen mortar]

UCB 3/30

[cinder sun]

What about UCI

[civic verge]

I seriously don’t understand how people think they’ll get into Cal when they call it “UCB”

[frank ridge]

I used to spell "Berkeley" as "Berkley" up until a month ago 😭

[civic verge]

…

Unbelievable

[covert dock]

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

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

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

[queen mortar]

haha i typed UCB cuz someone else did....I am a Cal Alumni...as are most of our relatives!

[merry garnet]

When’s UCSD and UCSB

[tender elm]

It’s not chatgpt, it’s copypasta

Only OGs know

I’ve only referred to UCB as UCB for this very reason

[quiet night]

UCB

[covert dock]

Spontaneously dies

[quiet night]

your equivalent of the stanford prisoner experiment would be to tie students to a chair and make them listen to "UCB" being said repeatedly

[covert dock]

Lmao yes

[west sorrel]

Holy did Merced just drop

I thought it was gonna be on Friday

[gilded scroll]

I got my decision in the morning

At like 9am

[west sorrel]

Lol got the email just now

But I’m not at home so can’t check

It’s says happy news does this mean I got in?

[gilded scroll]

I think so

[vivid shell]

It has like an 85% acceptance rate so you should be fine

[obsidian heron]

3/3 on the UCs

[summer chasm]

What school

[obsidian heron]

this one? merced

[summer chasm]

Oh nice

[gilded scroll]

Wait 3??

[placid kiln]

[gilded scroll]

[tender elm]

last year ucr came out on the 2nd

for me at least

they roll a few batches tho

[gilded scroll]

i still need to make my portal 😭

[west sorrel]

I thought it’s gonna be on a Friday 💀

What’s up with these random weekday drops

[tough jolt]

[whole musk]

Eh kinda

[tender elm]

[gilded scroll]

[vivid shell]

[west sorrel]

@tender elm how many colleges did you apply to

Just UCs?

[stiff scaffold]

Like why not just say it in the email?

😂

[eager violet]

Suspense

[vivid shell]

[modest mural]

[timber patio]

Lmao tf

[cinder sun]

[timber patio]

Damn

[cinder sun]

I thought UCSC CS was harder to get into

[gilded scroll]

ucsccs

[quiet night]

Does that make a difference in seeing my decision for ucr?

[tender elm]

they will be releasing batches over the next week or so

[tired nest]

for ucsc, if i didn't get my decision yet and its "rolling" does that mean my chances are lower or the same as before?

[cyan moon]

Same

[gaunt oasis]

[warm burrow]

Ay same

[regal grove]

i got deferred by madison and then rejected by gtech

[warm burrow]

I got accepted Madison and deferred GT

[bitter zephyr]

Guess I was right

UCR did come out today

[regal grove]

[bitter zephyr]

fun fact: UCR was the first and only school that gave me a merit scholarship

[bitter zephyr]

must be Engineering today

[regal grove]

[bitter zephyr]

In State or OOS/Intl?

[regal grove]

in

maybe rejections come out later

[bitter zephyr]

not necessarily

[regal grove]

im not tryna be negative but he has low stats

[bitter zephyr]

UCR does it in waves

[celest spoke]

MY FRIEND GOT INTO UCR WITH A 3.1 UC GPA

IM SO PROUD RN

[bitter zephyr]

congrats to your friend @celest spoke

then again, GPA is one of many things that are used in the application

[celest spoke]

Ya we were both just shocked

I mean her essays are excellent

And we edited those things down to the most minuscule changes

[regal grove]

but isnt there a min gpa req for cs and engi majors

[bitter zephyr]

No

[compact rose]

davis is friday?

[regal grove]

likely not

[bitter zephyr]

if you tried your best and bring the skills we need to the table, we help you

[celest spoke]

My friend is public policy lmao

[covert dock]

I didn’t apply to the school of engineering and I got it today

[compact rose]

[regal grove]

i think his essays are decent

so i hope he gets in then

[hearty dagger]

Maybe check ur portal?

U may just not have gotten the email but still got in

[tall leaf]

nope nothing

[regal grove]

my friend is

he didnt get it either

[ruby vapor]

@serene nymph i did a lot of research about it because i wanted to know what it meant.
Supplemental information request (augmented review) is sent to students who are either:

1. Borderline (academically qualified but on the edge of accept/reject)
2. Application mentions extenuating circumstance that couldn’t have been fully explained in PIQs (i.e. admissions officer needs more information to accurately judge your app)
3. mention of a major life issue or / especially a disability (mental or physical) in app.

only about ~6% of applicants get the request, and roughly 30-33% of those who get the request get an admission offer

good luck 😁

[sterile horizon]

I think I got the letter cus of number 2

That was for cal for me

Rlly hoping for la though 🙏

[ruby vapor]

cal gives option for letter of rec aswell right

2 essays and lor?

[sterile horizon]

Not unless they ask

[ruby vapor]

in the supp request

they didn’t ask?

[sterile horizon]

Wait this for undergrad

[ruby vapor]

yes

[sterile horizon]

Lor they don’t ask u for unless they ask

[ruby vapor]

interesting

[halcyon pecan]

ye sum ppl are requested letter of rec for cal

[ruby vapor]

i know it’s an option in the supp req

yea

for me it was just the two essays and my 2023 grades

which are none bc i grad alrdy

[halcyon pecan]

ive been told its if u are first gen, dk how true that is

[ruby vapor]

interesting

[lofty sage]

I can't even go above 4.0 because my school doesn't offer aps, honors etc. (I'm international)

[serene nymph]

I-

im literally

gonna

im so scared rn

WHAT IF I MESS UP

UHGLIUWRGH

😭 ahhhhhh

my god im sweatinggggg

[ruby vapor]

your chances went from abt 9% to 30% think of it as a good thing

[serene nymph]

UFHGWLRIUGH

my goddddd

[ruby vapor]

they sent it to you for a reason, you probably know why, just talk about that, explain, and be done

it’s not like a PIQ u don’t have to be fancy

[serene nymph]

😭 ahhhh ok

[ruby vapor]

mine was mainly just a narrative

just no typos 🙏

you got this

[serene nymph]

thank u 😭

[tender elm]

Doing gods work 🫡

[sterile horizon]

Man I’m sweating like crazy cus of the typos I found out on my activity list 😭

I want this month to end

[ruby vapor]

tag me if u want help or a proof read but go grind out that essay

llama ur okay

[tender elm]

4.1 UC gpa iirc

[ruby vapor]

i didn’t even proof read mine it prolly has hella typos i’m just not looking

[sterile horizon]

Also should I tell each college I’m taking different college course than what I wrote

[hearty dagger]

are the early riverside and santa cruz acceptances for high stat applicants or random?

[sterile horizon]

I over think a lot

[tender elm]

Pretty late by now

[sterile horizon]

I heard random

[sterile horizon]

Yh idrc cus it doesn’t matter but would it help me from being differed

[warm burrow]

according to some people, it might be the people that the specific UC favors

[vestal plume]

don't worry about it

i highkey want to cry when i read my activities list

[hollow patrol]

I'd say random, myself and some high stats friends got into UCSC but so did some non-high stat people. A good buddy got into UCR today and I was worried he wouldn't get in to any UC

[hearty dagger]

what do you mean by that?

[hollow patrol]

Arguably local for UCSC, definitely not local for riverside

[ruby vapor]

honestly it probably has to do with how long it takes for them to process and decide on your application

i don’t think it’s about stats

[vestal plume]

ucsc lets you in early only if you praise highway 17 and banana slugs

[lofty sage]

Idk if my sample size is large enough. But like 8 of my friends and I got into ucsc and ucr. We're international

[ruby vapor]

if your PIQs mention camping, summer camp, hugging trees, or carving out a large oak tree and building a home in it you get auto UCSC admit

[vestal plume]

tell them you wanna commute highway 17 everyday because it's the most beautiful and best designed highway in the world

[hearty dagger]

my elementary school librarian went to ucsc and has been hyping it up

[ruby vapor]

if you get waitlisted write your letter about how much you love nature and also bugs

[hearty dagger]

Same. This is anecdotal but most of my high stats friends have gotten into ucsc and then when i ask my non high stat friends they haven't

[vestal plume]

tell them that you'll kiss a banana slug

[lofty sage]

Yeah same case with my friends. Only the ones with 93+/100 have received decision

[ruby vapor]

huh

100 what

93+ what

[hearty dagger]

gpa

[ruby vapor]

93 gpa

[hearty dagger]

i presume their gpa is on a 100 point scale

[halcyon pecan]

joey moment

[ruby vapor]

don’t make me banana slug u

who the fucks gpa is out of 100

[vestal plume]

nerds

[hearty dagger]

internationals

[ruby vapor]

i’ve heard 10 but 100????

well yeah but

where

[lofty sage]

Yeah it's out of 100

[lofty sage]

India

[tall leaf]

bruh ytf they gotta clickbait their videos like that 😭

[ruby vapor]

i wouldn’t trust an individual who looks like that

[hearty dagger]

💀

[tall leaf]

lmao

[regal torrent]

ucr doesn't consider ec's, prob why i got in

[hearty dagger]

They don't consider ecs?

[regal torrent]

nope

check cds

[hearty dagger]

damn

[ruby vapor]

i should’ve applied to ucr and ucm

those r the only ones i skipped

[lofty sage]

Wait ucr is based just on grades?

[ruby vapor]

riverside is a terrible place tho i’d rather be uneducated

[lofty sage]

That's why I did not get cs

[vestal plume]

the only person i know who goes to ucsc is a stoner

[hearty dagger]

This is true

[lofty sage]

Ucsc vs ucr?

[tall leaf]

bruh

[vestal plume]

ucsc

[ruby vapor]

ucsc all day

idk how many of y’all r familiar with riverside as a city but it is TERRIBLE

i actively avoid it at all costs

[regal torrent]

they read essays too

[serene nymph]

.. my sister goes there

and

[hearty dagger]

The person in that video has a point. The only people that go to UCSC are stoners and they don't have any grades either so people slack off

[ruby vapor]

when i drive past the on ramp to riverside i quiver

[vestal plume]

ucr if it was actually on the side of a river that was actually good:

[serene nymph]

:( i think its the best fr

[ruby vapor]

riverside ?????

[serene nymph]

yeah

[hearty dagger]

Agreed it's literally just desert

[ruby vapor]

can she walk alone at night ????

[tall leaf]

o yea i heard ucsc had pass fail classes lol

[serene nymph]

my sister goes there and i love it

[tall leaf]

thats a plus for me

[hearty dagger]

And it's too far away to be considered a part of "Los Angeles"

[ruby vapor]

riverside is dangerous as fuck

[serene nymph]

they have a bibble poster

:(

[hearty dagger]

yessi r

[vestal plume]

i also just dislike la/socal so i'm probably biased

[ruby vapor]

look up uc merced campus from afar

lmk what there is to do

[rare carbon]

What’s a riverside

Is that’s a person

[vivid shell]

is ucsc actually that bad?

[tall leaf]

bro is riverside even beside a river

[vestal plume]

no 💀

[hearty dagger]

i've heard the campus is beautiful

[ruby vapor]

riverside is in the middle of no where

[ruby vapor]

imagine LA but no fun things to do and also a lot of gangs

[stiff scaffold]

no, it is a good option

[hearty dagger]

i was not vibing with riverside when i went tehre

it's just ad esert

[regal torrent]

not the constant bouncing between thinking i have a chance and thinking i don't

[vestal plume]

ucsd/ucsb best socal UCs

[hearty dagger]

L take

[tall leaf]

sb is so beautiful

[ruby vapor]

riverside county has one of the highest crime rates in all of america 💀

[rare carbon]

Irvine and la

[regal torrent]

ucsd, ucla

[vestal plume]

oh i forgor irvine is socal

[regal torrent]

final answer

[hearty dagger]

Bro UCR and UCSC have been getting my hopes up for the other UCS 😩

[abstract elm]

Isn’t ucsd literally uc socially dead 🥴

[ruby vapor]

your odds of experiencing crime in riverside is literally 1/13

[vestal plume]

uci is pretty nice too

[hearty dagger]

is ucsd actually socially dead? WHen I went to visit it wasn't that lively

[lofty sage]

And my hopes down

[hearty dagger]

but their campus is nice and in a nice city

[ruby vapor]

ucsd is boring but nice

same as irvine

[vestal plume]

boring? 😭

[ruby vapor]

irvine is one of the nicest cities ever but there’s nothing to do in irvine

[hearty dagger]

i didn't really like irvine

[lofty sage]

Ucsd > uci

[vestal plume]

i liked their campus location

[hearty dagger]

I like santa baraba

[ruby vapor]

everyone goes to newport for fun

[hearty dagger]

W take

[regal grove]

how is it boring

[ruby vapor]

agree

[haughty violet]

bro I wish I had art classes 😭 all that effort into UC apps in vain

[hearty dagger]

UC Socially Dead

[regal grove]

meme

[ruby vapor]

bc everything closes at like 9pm in irvine, it’s very expensive so it’s not rly a college town. lots of business parks so mostly middle aged families

[vestal plume]

you can just do fun stuff by yourself

[tall leaf]

yo so if i go to ucsc i have a ton of cc credits i can transfer and possible graduate in 3 yrs but for davis (if i get in lololol) i have a lot of credits that dont transfer in this scenario would you choose davis or sc for cs

[ruby vapor]

if u live in irvine u go to Newport for fun

irvine is dead

[regal grove]

i meant san diego

[lofty sage]

Idk why many people say this. There are people from my school that go there and say it can be social if you want it to be

[ruby vapor]

oh

my bad

[regal torrent]

although college students never step off campus and be like "it's so boring there's nothing to do here"

[hearty dagger]

Yeah if yo uwant to hang out and you got uci then you go to LA or Newport so i've been told

I know someone that chose irvine over berkeley

[lofty sage]

Whyyyyyyy666yyy

[ruby vapor]

honestly haven’t been there enough but when i went it was boring and from what i’ve heard from friends it’s pretty calm

[hearty dagger]

yeah it's just a rumor that i've heard. Someone I know from last year chose sd over ucla so it can't that bad

[tall leaf]

same, but only cuz they got in undeclared at berk

[abstract elm]

That’s entirely dependent on your career aspirations/goals tbh

[ruby vapor]

sdsu is the fun school ucsd is the nerd school

[stiff scaffold]

depends on which campus u want to go to

[hearty dagger]

was from the bay and wanted to move to so cal

[vestal plume]

L move

[ruby vapor]

i’d take irvine over berkeley tbh

i hate berk

[hearty dagger]

damn

[ruby vapor]

w a passion

[hearty dagger]

understandable

[vestal plume]

i toured berkeley and didn't like it honestly 💀

[ruby vapor]

everyone i know who went there became so depressed

[tall leaf]

irvines a p nice place

[hearty dagger]

same

[tall leaf]

kinda boring but feels very nice and safe

[hearty dagger]

i've heard the culture there is so bad

[vestal plume]

i liked davis a lot

[ruby vapor]

irvine is very nice very safe just yeah very boring

it’s like

city planning went TOO well

[ruby vapor]

yeah i’ve heard that too

[lofty sage]

It's coming tomorrow right?

[ruby vapor]

my bottom 3 UCs are riverside, merced, berk

[tall leaf]

fr?????

[hearty dagger]

nah that's going too far lol

[lofty sage]

I'm asking

[ruby vapor]

tomorrow or a week after tomorrow

[vestal plume]

is it?

[rare carbon]

Bruh y’all call ucla UC Berkeley ucsd and uci boring

Like they are fine

💀💀

[ruby vapor]

most likely a week after

[night mortar]

i applied to berkeley only cause my counselor told me to 💀

[lofty sage]

Ppl were saying 3 or 10

[sterile horizon]

Is it hard to get into both ucla and cal?

[vestal plume]

yeah..

[hearty dagger]

for my school it's either one or the oether

[vestal plume]

isn't it hard to get into just one

😭

[ruby vapor]

i’d take any other UC over any of those 3

[rare carbon]

8% ucla 11 for cal

L o l

[lofty sage]

Why do ppl call berkeley cal

[ruby vapor]

bc it’s cal berkeley

[lofty sage]

Sounds like cal state

[night mortar]

i heard ig the people who appeal to la don't appeal to cal as much and vice versa

[ruby vapor]

OG UC

[night mortar]

they're just looking for different types of people

[rare carbon]

Firs tUC campus created

[ruby vapor]

it’s the first cali state school

[night mortar]

vibe check

[ruby vapor]

aka cal

[tall leaf]

has anyone ever gotten into every single uc?

[hearty dagger]

yes

[ruby vapor]

probably

[hearty dagger]

my firend last year did

[ruby vapor]

not me tho i’d be lucky to get 1

[young shale]

AGREED (ive lived there my entire life) viist me

[ruby vapor]

i hate ur friend

[hearty dagger]

my dad got into all the uc's and stanford except davis 😭

[vestal plume]

[ruby vapor]

i work in irvine bro

[sterile horizon]

Well I think I have a good chance for cal cus of the lor they asked from me. Ucla is a one that scares me

[young shale]

OH WHERE

[sterile horizon]

I rlly wanna go to la too

[young shale]

i bet its gonna be orobae

[ruby vapor]

literally across the street from UCI

😭😭

[night mortar]

my friend got into every school he applied to except davis last year i think

[young shale]

ohhh in that plaza?

[night mortar]

he goes to USC now

[ruby vapor]

yeah

[night mortar]

he didn't apply to any ivies

and applied for a niche art major

[ruby vapor]

i do so many deliveries to UCI

so annoying

[night mortar]

so ig his portfolio was baller

[vestal plume]

whenever someone mentions usc i think about those usc deferrals

[hearty dagger]

pls let me be one

[lofty sage]

Bruh don't say that. I got scholly at ucr so it is compelling

[ruby vapor]

imagine paying 80k at usc for a <UC education

[young shale]

lmao have u heard abt that hs and that scandal

[hearty dagger]

that was a blood bath

[ruby vapor]

W

[vestal plume]

couldn't be me tho

[ruby vapor]

it’s not merced so it’s ok

[night mortar]

yea lowkey 💀 but he got into a major in sca

[ruby vapor]

i haven’t 😭

[night mortar]

so ig usc has a bigger film alum network

it's worth it for that

[ruby vapor]

oh then W

usc also has a lot of specific programs that other schools don’t

[young shale]

RLLY? ITS GONE AS FAR AS TO KOREA AND THE UK

[night mortar]

film is like usc or nyu top goats

yea

[ruby vapor]

SJSU

[vestal plume]

sjsu

[hearty dagger]

holy crap ucla ucsd and uci come out on the day i'm going to disneyland 💀

[ruby vapor]

rigor and location is massive W

[hearty dagger]

if i get rejcted at disneyland i'ma just uber home

[night mortar]

i might be wrong cause i'm not a film major but i go to an arts school w hella ppl in the major - yea but a lot of my friends didn't end up applying cause they're international (boarding school), ucla doesn't take film reels/any actual video film but just relies on writing and focuses on documentary style stuff

[ruby vapor]

either gonna be the best day at disney or the worst day bro

[night mortar]

versus usc hollywood

[tall leaf]

ik sjsu is better but imma be forced to live at home if i go there 😭

[vestal plume]

[sterile horizon]

That’s going to be a nice day. Ur going to be accepted!!!
