pranav did you get into any other ucs?
every UC outside of LA and Berk
hearty dagger
ahh
pallid ermine
well then it comes to how averse you are to paying high tuition
is it fair to say i would change my mind from purdue only if i get la or berkeley (even when considering the huge tuition diff)
bitter zephyr
is it fair to say i would change my mind from purdue only if i get la or berkele...
well if you feel UCLA and Berkeley are worth the opportunity cost, sure
hearty dagger
pranav how do you like ucsd and have you met benz irl ?
bitter zephyr
it's really up to you and how averse you are to potential opportunity costs you might have
bitter zephyr
pranav how do you like ucsd and have you met benz irl ?
I love UCSD
there's thousands of people on campus lol
pallid ermine
I love UCSD

bitter zephyr
I may/may not have met Benz one time or another

Chemical Engineering
do these rates look accurate/recent to you
like chemical engineering is 28%
and ece is 30%
hearty dagger
do these rates look accurate/recent to you
ooh nice, are acceptance rates available for all majors?
regal grove
idk i got it from the ucsd thread
bitter zephyr
I've never seen this lol
can't say how accurate it is
but I'm going to work under my professor next quarter, who's an AO this year
so I might ask him
bitter zephyr
I think the acceptance rates change based on how many people applied and how competitive the applicant pool is
bitter zephyr
and i never knew professors are aos too
idk about the other schools but at JSOE, it's that
JSOE= Jacobs School of Engineering
regal grove
at least this year is slightly better than last year
bitter zephyr
at least this year is slightly better than last year
wait this is this year's rates?
if so, it's very inaccurate
regal grove
wait this is this year's rates?
no i mean
this year ucsd received less applicants that last year
bitter zephyr
this year ucsd received less applicants that last year
marginally fewer
but our applicant pool has gotten stronger though
regal grove
marginally fewer
but i think a new law was passed that uc have to admit more in states
right
bitter zephyr
fewer people but the people who applied have stronger stats
at least that's what I've heard
bitter zephyr
but i think a new law was passed that uc have to admit more in states
yeah idk how many more UCSD is going to accept though
we are having issues with class over enrollment and housing shortages
bitter zephyr
housing won't be an issue the next 2-3 years because of new dorms being built but it's going to get crowded again
bitter zephyr
is that still happening
not really atm
there were massive protests in the Fall but it's relatively quiet this quarter

Do u think that since the new 8th college being built it would mean more acceptances?
lofty sage
is it fair to say i would change my mind from purdue only if i get la or berkele...
I'm intl too and the only ucs I'll consider worth the cost are sd, la and berk
Although my situation is a bit diff as after required dorms housing I'll prolly move out and live with family
bitter zephyr
Do u think that since the new 8th college being built it would mean more accepta...
I would assume so
lofty sage
So that'll save me housing and meals
regal grove
I would assume so
wait what 8th college
bitter zephyr
thing is, 8th college is kinda overflow housing
ancient raven
I would assume so
What college are u in
bitter zephyr
What college are u in
Sixth
regal grove
oh some arts college
bitter zephyr
we're building 8th cause of overflow
lofty sage
thing is, 8th college is kinda overflow housing
So can no of acceptances go up?
ancient raven
Sixth looks beautiful bruh lol
regal grove
would not affect jacobs admission rates
lofty sage
would not affect jacobs admission rates
That's the only one that matters
bitter zephyr
So can no of acceptances go up?
well I think acceptances increase but not by as much as people think they'll increase
ancient raven
would not affect jacobs admission rates
Wym
hearty dagger
@bitter zephyr why'd you choose ucsd?
bitter zephyr
would not affect jacobs admission rates
yeah no your college choice isn't going to affect whether you get into JSOE or not
regal grove
@bitter zephyr can you go into the house on top of the engineering building
bitter zephyr
<@363159629741555713> why'd you choose ucsd?
Great Engineering School + Beach + in state tuition benefits + close to home(but not too close)
bitter zephyr

yeah I think you can

bitter zephyr

bitter zephyr
y'all have a train in sd?
yeah the MTS trolley
ancient raven
Is ucsd a walkable distance to beaches
bitter zephyr
and if you need to leave SD, you have the NCTD Coaster or Amtrak
regal grove

bitter zephyr
Is ucsd a walkable distance to beaches

Blacks Beach is the meme beach

go at your own peril
hearty dagger
is ucsd actually socially dead?
bitter zephyr
is ucsd actually socially dead?
it's not lol
UCSD is pretty alive
don't expect the wild parties UCLA has though
if you want wild parties, you can always go down to SDSU
regal grove
go at your own peril
yes my freshie friend went there w/o knowing the truth about it
ancient raven
UCSD is pretty alive
How’s school spirit type things there
bitter zephyr
How’s school spirit type things there
it exists but not UCLA tier
UCSD is what you get when you mix the laid back atmosphere of UCLA with the academic grindset of Berkeley
we are chill and laidback during normal times but grinding for midterms during midterm season > school spirit at games
regal grove
how far is ucsd from downtown
bitter zephyr
how far is ucsd from downtown

Do you know the UTC mall?

Each college has it's own writing series and set of GE's that you need to complete to graduate
bitter zephyr
same with sb
got into SB too
bitter zephyr
did you ever consider it
I somewhat considered it for a little bit but I rejected in the end cause it was too close to home
and I lived near UCI for half my life so I naturally got bored of it
couldn't see myself live for four more years in Irvine
bitter zephyr
did u consider it
I heavily considered it but they originally waitlisted me while UCSD accepted me outright
ancient raven
@bitter zephyr what’s ur major

so I took a class during the summer at UCI and it was pretty interesting
bitter zephyr
how far is that pier from campus

bitter zephyr

regal grove

likely. along w/ ucla and ucsd
dense flare
Gotcha thanks
bitter zephyr
I have walked on the pier though cause of a class field trip
and that one time I had to help a professor with his research
@regal grove
bitter zephyr
yeah it's a research station
the reason why we don't let the public walk on it is because it has some sensitive equipment
regal grove
what "special events"
bitter zephyr
what "special events"
class field trips + research expeditions + very high level research conferences
maybe an occasional open house day
regal grove
conferences??
bitter zephyr
yeah
regal grove
seems wild to have a conference on a pier
regal grove
class field trips + research expeditions + very high level research conferences
do ece people have field trips there
bitter zephyr
well I didn't speak but I had to listen to a professor talk about instrument analysis

that is more like a lecture then

what was the coldest temp you ever experienced at ucsd
bitter zephyr
39F
regal grove
cuz climate is def a big factor for me
snow creek
can u switch from an uncapped major to another one?
bitter zephyr
usually the coldest it gets in the winter is the low 50s high 40s
regal grove
yeah that is nice
how hot in summer
i think it should be cool too
cuz right next to ocean
bitter zephyr

bitter zephyr

yes
lofty sage

What abt math - cs?
bitter zephyr
What abt math - cs?
that counts too
Math-CS is uncapped
I should have a UCSD AMA lol
bitter zephyr
ucsd mathcs uncapped 😱 ???
yeah we made it uncapped last year
bitter zephyr
i did ds 1st mathcs 2nd
you could be considered for Math-CS if you don't get into DSC
maybe you could get into DSC directly

I'll just tell this to everyone on this chat before I go to bed
regal grove
referring to ucsd's icon like that threw me off
bitter zephyr
No matter what UC you get into, you will always be considered a UC student
no UC is better than the other
tall leaf
referring to ucsd's icon like that threw me off
lmao
bitter zephyr
you will still get a quality UC education whichever campus you go to
No need to panic
if it's written in your stars, you'll get in

99% of the people here have already done all the hardwork required to get into a UC by submitting their apps

my teacher was a UCSD alum and she did the same thing lol
snow creek
I stand corrected
phew i got scared
bitter zephyr
my homeroom teacher was my PE coach and he was the only one who believed I'd get into UCSD lol
and here I am
regal grove
why are we still here just to suffer
i think cuz i submitted a poor grades form when i thought it was just an update form
so ucsc may think i am failing now lol
bitter zephyr
the UCSD alum teacher thought I wasn't worth the cut
snow creek
what the fuck
did she say it to ur face
i had a dream that i was opening my decisions and then i woke up lol before i could figure out what it was
bitter zephyr
well I was asking her for life advice at UCSD and she was like I'll talk to you if you get into UCSD
took it as if she didn't think I was worth the cut to UCSD
well, the first person I ever sent my acceptance letter to other than my parents was to her
snow creek
wait
hearty dagger
well I was asking her for life advice at UCSD and she was like I'll talk to you ...
don't listen to those people. At the end of the day they're just teachers...
snow creek
yeah forreal
hearty dagger
she sounds like an asshle
bitter zephyr
she was a nice teacher but can be a b***h sometimes
snow creek
pranav were u one of those genius kids with a 4.99 gpa and like 900 internships and clubs and stuff bc if u r and the teacher said that then i’m probably screwed
bitter zephyr
this was her when she was on her b***hy side
bitter zephyr
pranav were u one of those genius kids with a 4.99 gpa and like 900 internships ...

i was pretty average but
hopefully my background can help

bitter zephyr

but they don't care about 9th grade so idc(got a couple B's)
bitter zephyr
I got 2 B's total in 10th grade and 5 B's in 11th grade
snow creek
Bs aren’t bad though
bitter zephyr
they aren't
snow creek
some people make them seem like they are bad
when in reality they’re not bad lol
oh well
bitter zephyr
well if you're going to Ivies and like T10 schools, they are kinda bad
but for UC's they aren't bad
bitter zephyr
I've never had a C in HS though
bitter zephyr
BioChem ended me
bitter zephyr
bro ppl who were at ucsd during covid years were so lucky
I took OChem in Spring 2022
so it was near the end of Covid
bitter zephyr
yeah no my UCSD GPA isn't that god tier though
my roommate has a 3.9 while I'm hovering around a 3.4-3.5
snow creek
bruh what the fuck i just found o ur it means they were at top of their class
wtf
i am so proud
bitter zephyr
I was Magna Cum Laude in HS but that doesn't mean s***
College, yes, that's god tier
snow creek
lmfaooo the UCs ELC thing said i was top 9% of my class
and i am hoping that it’s right
and not fake
hearty dagger
it is
hearty dagger
it's done by the school in collaboration with the ucs
hearty dagger
my school doesn't even do elc 
bitter zephyr
that's a tier below ELC lol
bitter zephyr
yes
snow creek
omg
bitter zephyr
ELC means you were top of the school lol
snow creek
i have no idea how this college stuff works
😭😭
i literally winged it LOL
and prayed for the best
bitter zephyr
Statewide just means that your performance was just better than the California benchmark lol
ELC means you were near the top of your graduating class in your HS
snow creek
wtf bro does that mean i am not good enough for the california benchmark???
if i didn’t get it
💀💀💀
snow creek
ELC means you were near the top of your graduating class in your HS
this is so epic tho
bitter zephyr
wtf bro does that mean i am not good enough for the california benchmark???
no it means you already met the California benchmark and then some
hearty dagger
elc is better then statewide
snow creek
okok phew
hearty dagger
they both guarantee the same thing though
bitter zephyr
@snow creek you're guaranteed a UC school
bitter zephyr
though it might not be the school of your choice
bitter zephyr

it's for everyone
snow creek
