1hr 30 from Irvine

Irvine's my hometown

[snow creek]

I've lived in DTLA

[snow creek]

awdul

[bitter zephyr]

Glendale/Burbank area

[snow creek]

awful traffic

[bitter zephyr]

yes

alright I'm going to bed

[lofty sage]

@bitter zephyr Do you know any indian student at ucsd?

[tropic bobcat]

Do the Ucs actually consider you for any alt major you put down?

[whole musk]

Yeah, lots of people have gotten into alternate majors at Santa Cruz and riverside

San Diego in particular restricts students choosing an engineering/other majors for alternates

[tropic bobcat]

Thanks

[young shale]

WAIT SAME WTF WHICH HS DID U GO TO

dont tell me u went to uni..

tryhards

[grizzled stirrup]

But I could?

There were engineering options for alternate

[west badger]

is davis today?

[lofty sage]

10th

[west badger]

oo

[whole musk]

yeah i could also but they emailed me several times that i can't do that

so i changed it in janurary

[hybrid obsidian]

people are saying that UCI is already out for some?

[warm burrow]

who?

[hybrid obsidian]

my classmates

but I got nothing on my side

[warm burrow]

me neither

they prob

trolling

[hybrid obsidian]

yeah

they "changed their story"

they said UCR now

[warm burrow]

UCR did come out

early batches

as well as UCSC

UCD confirmed M10?

[whole musk]

Think last year UCi released honor acceptances early

[bitter zephyr]

Too many to count

[bitter zephyr]

Portola

[young shale]

OHHHH niceee

the newest hs

didnt the footballl coach get on fire for sexually assulting some cheerleaders or smtn

[lofty sage]

Lol probably thought so

Could you get me in contact with some of them?

Like on discord

[bitter zephyr]

Uhhh idk about that

[grizzled stirrup]

They said you would be admitted undeclared if you couldn't get into your alternate capped major.

anyways

[bitter zephyr]

wtaf

I've not heard of this

hopefully it's not my homeroom teacher

[junior bone]

ray

[wide totem]

theres a website that is constantly updating decision dates for UCs based on new info, i can send it if everyone wants

[snow creek]

yes please

[wide totem]

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

^same info as this just keeps updating

[foggy crow]

i cant wait for friday

[young shale]

Anthony fullman

he was the assistant coach

[bitter zephyr]

Damn

well I didn't know him

may have seen him a couple of times but never interacted with him

[snow creek]

i just looked at the admissions by the school shit

and apparently 25% or something of students who applied to ucsd from my school got in

and like 15% for irvine

[bitter zephyr]

39% of those who applied from my school got into UCSD

[snow creek]

zayumn

talk abt feeder

[bitter zephyr]

29.3% to UCI

[marble pagoda]

did sdsu honors come out?

[snow creek]

bruh

💀

i hope i can get in im praying so hard rn

[bitter zephyr]

we were kinda a feeder school to UCI though

surprised more people got into SD than UCI

but yeah

[bitter zephyr]

good luck

[bitter zephyr]

that depends on if you get into the school first

[snow creek]

tbf tho my school isnt very competitive

[bitter zephyr]

my year wasn't competitive at all

[snow creek]

its only competitive within the competitive classes

[bitter zephyr]

I was the first graduating class of my High School

there was no one to compare us to lmao

[snow creek]

and i feel like underclassmen are very very competitive compared to my grade lmfao

[bitter zephyr]

so if you did decent in HS, you got in to a UC

[snow creek]

lucky lol

[bitter zephyr]

eh

well I guess I was lucky

other Irvine schools are ultra competitive so yeah

it was good going to a not so competitive HS

Portola now is 😬

too much competition

[grizzled stirrup]

ofc lol

[young shale]

It is holy shit☠️☠️regret living here everyone's been doing above and beyond

so cal version of the Bay Area

[young shale]

yep pretty sure there's a girl that plays like in 3 sports teams

[bitter zephyr]

yeah there are

[jade sigil]

wait so which UCs r this week

[covert night]

Davis

[sterile horizon]

Man hurry up and ucsc drop the decision 😭

[warm burrow]

they already did?

[whole musk]

Hmm, last year the second batch for ucsc was apparently the 15th (14th this year)

[sterile horizon]

No not for me

[sterile saffron]

my school counselor confirmed that davis is releasing friday

[zealous sinew]

did only counselors get this email?

[tender elm]

Yes

[bitter zephyr]

well, good luck to those who applied to UC Davis this Fall

Davis is a great school and would be very lucky to have you on campus

[calm atlas]

dayummmmmm

how do u find that stuff on college confidential?

😭😭😭😭😭😭 thanks

[warm burrow]

bro someone said UCSC CS acceptance rate is 70% 😭

[bitter zephyr]

that moment when parents are more tensed then their kids

they gotta flex their kids to other parents and get bragging rights

(don't cancel me I come from an Asian household)

[regal grove]

literally this

a kid at my school got into mit and the parent went crazy sending it all over wechat

[young shale]

SAME THE WECHAT THING

the mom kept on posting in every single wechat she was in even when the chats been dead for years

[bitter zephyr]

that is so cringe though

MIT is great and all but no one cares

if you're in a T20, you're one and the same

Hiring managers literally don't care where you went to school. They only care if you bring what they need to the table

[young shale]

fr every Professor I've speaked to said that employeers don't care unless ur like top of top of mit

[bitter zephyr]

I've seen stoners get high paying jobs cause they can somehow bring what the hiring managers want

[young shale]

rizz

[bitter zephyr]

one of my profs worked in industry and the US Government

even worked as a hiring manager for a top company

man said he threw away ivy league resumés if they didn't bring what he wanted for the job

[young shale]

☠️fr I swear most Ivy League kids do not have street skills whatsoever

my friend who's like Ivy League level CANT OPEN A PLASTIC BAG THATS STUFK TOGETHER

A FUCKING PLASTIC BAG LIKE WHAT

[bitter zephyr]

sometimes I can't do that lol

brain goes fried mode

[young shale]

naw but we gave him 20 minutes and he still couldn't figure it out

[cyan moon]

Uc Davis Uc Davis

[bitter zephyr]

ah

that's bad

[young shale]

yea.. bro expects his parents to do all the chores bc theyre able to do it and since they know, he doesnt have to learn or do it

like bro what

irvine kids fr

crazy

[bitter zephyr]

the Irvine bubble is real lol

even I struggled on certain menial tasks when starting college

but you gotta learn

adapt or die

[bitter zephyr]

good luck 🙂

[dense flare]

parents version of a2c

[young shale]

irvine kids definition of booksmart but not streetsmart no inbetween

[regal grove]

i mean i can see why they did it

once is fine

more than once is annoying

[bitter zephyr]

yes

don't be a cloutchaser

[young shale]

yep like gl gathering college debt

[soft beacon]

whats the difference between csu and uc gpa

if there is one

bc like my self calculated uc gpa and the csu gpa it shows in the portal are different

[vestal plume]

NOT WECHAT

the asian parent wechat groups are something else

[west sorrel]

LMFAO

don't forget the whatsapp groups as well

[bitter zephyr]

Indian parent WhatsApp group moment

[bitter zephyr]

lmao so true

[foggy crow]

davis is confirmed this friday afternoon!

[serene nymph]

woo

[lofty sage]

What time?

[foggy crow]

no exact time given but estimated 3pm pacific

[pallid ermine]

they sent out a mail?

[foggy crow]

councelor confirmed apparently

[dense flare]

I say that we raid the counselor if they are wrong

[foggy crow]

lol

it was on reddit

[dense flare]

I see

[foggy crow]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/11lit03/uc_davis_coming_on_friday/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

[dense flare]

damn you pulled that quick

[foggy crow]

ive visited that megathread so much that it automatically appears in my search bar

[regal torrent]

damn all predictions this year so far are on point

except berkeley, berkeley is late

[dense flare]

Yeah I can see that in your username lol

[dense flare]

What major are you doing?

[foggy crow]

atmospheric science

u?

[dense flare]

the asian special

CS

if you couldnt tell

lmao

[foggy crow]

lol

[lofty sage]

Are you even Indian if you don't take cs

Or pre-med

[dense flare]

lmaooo yeah

[grizzled stirrup]

Anyone apply for Data Theory at UCLA

[dense flare]

I didnt personally

is that like Data Science but UCLA's QuIrkY way of saying Data Science

[grizzled stirrup]

Ig, as far as I understood, its a hybrid math-statistics course with lots of concentration options.

so ig you could turn it into data sci

[dense flare]

yeah sounds kinda like DS

[grizzled stirrup]

true

[lofty sage]

Idts that there is data science at ucla

Couldn't find any program

Data theory seems to be that only

But contains no cs

And is theory heavy

[dense flare]

hmmm yeah

[stray apex]

im asian and i applied econ/business for all ucs

lol

[dense flare]

I mean thats pretty popular too

[lofty sage]

You are the exception sir

But yes it is popular

[stray apex]

pretty sure i will take a stem minor

[dense flare]

take CS minor

[lofty sage]

There you go

[dense flare]

I WILL FORCE U TO TAKE A CS MINOR

[stray apex]

its aight

[lofty sage]

Does ucla consider alt majors?

[dense flare]

all the UCs are supposed to

[lofty sage]

I suspect "supposed" is the keyword here?

[dense flare]

I mean they will. It kinda depends like UC to UC on how to admit people to the capped majors

[grizzled stirrup]

It does

[finite furnace]

if u want try taking it at merced community college (in cali) for dual enrollment, prof shumaker teaches it rlly well and he's chill

[tall leaf]

im so gosh darn nervous for this friday 🥶

[pallid ermine]

same

[tall leaf]

i wanna get in so baddddddd

[pallid ermine]

its my first rd decision

same

[stray apex]

ucd is my top 3 choice for being relevantly close and have a decent rep

[tender elm]

this thread is close to 10K messages!

nice

[stray apex]

hopes everyone here get in

a2c discorders meeting irl

😭

[grizzled stirrup]

what are the chances I get rescinded if I have a 95 avg but 83-90 in senior year?

Nothing less than B

[calm atlas]

Basically 0

[grizzled stirrup]

but it isn't exactly "maintaining the academic standing you were admitted based upon".

[tall leaf]

ahh yes, the daily "will i get rescinded for an 89.9999"

[calm atlas]

Yeah but they won't care

[grizzled stirrup]

and the explanation for grade drop isn't a family emergency or something serious

[calm atlas]

Also the academic standing I was admitted upon was bs so I just hope I don't get cs

[calm atlas]

They admitted u they won't care about getting 2 bs or smth

Like

[tall leaf]

nobody gaf if you get b's

[calm atlas]

It's harder to get rescinded than it is to get in

[tall leaf]

even c's only very few schools would actually care

[grizzled stirrup]

this stands for internationals right?

[calm atlas]

Schools don't like to rescind people 💀

[calm atlas]

Yeah everyone

[grizzled stirrup]

and also Berkeley, UCLA?

[calm atlas]

You might get a scary letter for a few bs but nothing will happen

[grizzled stirrup]

I just thought since they have these large waitlists

they'd be happy to offer a spot to someone who scored higher

[calm atlas]

Well yeah but there's a reason you got chosen over the waitlisted people and it's usually not grades

[grizzled stirrup]

yea i'll shit my pants with that

[calm atlas]

Think essays ec personality fit

If they want you they want you dw

[grizzled stirrup]

I really really don't want the letter

[regal grove]

if you are so worried just get a 4.0 then

[grizzled stirrup]

true

[grizzled stirrup]

missed a month of classes because of a major sports tournament

seems really difficult this year

normally it would've been easy

nvm

not in my hands

thanks for the help though

[bitter zephyr]

no chance

[rare carbon]

i applied as a data sci major everywhere but for ucla i applied as mathematic of computation which most closely aligns. after looking at the lower and upper div data theory basically a pure math/stats major with 0 computer science courses/theory and no course priority registration for them. its meant to prepare you for graduate school

[hollow patrol]

Nah, SD + Cal (and probably more) have normal data science

[bitter zephyr]

We have an actual DSC major

I know people who have rejected UCLA to come here for DSC

[tawdry zenith]

Did anyone go to the Merced admitted seminar yesterday

[foggy crow]

2

[covert sorrel]

what does ur status say on the ucd portal?

mine says pending review

makes it sound like my app hasn't been processed yet

[calm atlas]

same they will probably update the status until they release decisions

[foggy crow]

same

[sterile cloak]

anyone know when ucsc's next batch is coming out

[zealous sinew]

march 15

[sterile horizon]

[cyan moon]

https://tenor.com/view/aggie-cow-uc-davis-ucd-davis-gif-26541420

[foggy crow]

i feel so nauseous

im so nervous

[sterile horizon]

Fr and I don’t like that time is going fast yet so slow

Lately I can’t sleep cus of college decisions

Frickin hate it

[regal torrent]

i had a lot of trouble accepting it right after i applied

but now i'm just like "it eez what it eez"

i think that if i have the results i want i will throw an apt celebration, but if they elude me then that's what it is

[bitter zephyr]

Good attitude

[sterile horizon]

https://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/bm-4-year-plan/
This is missing classes such as language and history right?

So technically I would be taking more than those classes listed

[pallid ermine]

idk lmao have some cheese

https://tenor.com/view/schuladame-cheese-gif-22080846

[sterile horizon]

I wish but I’m stressing so hard rn lmao

[pallid ermine]

dont worry man

what has to happen will happen

theres only one constant in life

and its food

so why not enjoy

and just chill for 2 more days

[sterile horizon]

Ig 😭

It’s also cus changing majors will change my time at uni significantly

[regal torrent]

you. will. be. fine.

[foggy crow]

me too

[sterile horizon]

🤞 😭

The anxiety is real

[wet sandal]

whats ucsd's cs acceptance rate

[dense flare]

Very low lmao that’s all I know. I read somewhere online it’s like <10%

[bitter zephyr]

0%

jk jk

it's in the single digits(5-8%)

[wet sandal]

so in state its prolly like 10% ish?

bro colleges really trynna gatekeep cs from students

[fluid cypress]

i agree

[serene nymph]

cs is just super popular 😭 mah gawd

[steep tide]

who here applied to uci

There's no UCI subchannel here and A2C doesn't have individual UC posts anymore, but here's the most upvoted post on the UCI's subreddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/UCI/comments/11dijn8/malding_professor_calls_students_pathetic_in/

It happened recently and they send an embarrassing apology to all CS majors a while ago since they're clearly afraid of what prospective students and others might say

[steep tide]

ty i just found it lol

[sterile horizon]

man y is multivariable calc a one semester thing at cc but 2 semester at a uc

i am soooooo frustrated abt that. tryna rlly find a way to squeeze that in

[nocturne ore]

for elc do they base it on school gpa or uc gpa?

[tender elm]

UC

[nocturne ore]

FUCK

[tender elm]

elc really does not matter that much

[nocturne ore]

i didnt even get statewide guarantee on my uc portal

but according to the cutoffs i shouldve made it? i think

[nocturne ore]

wait why do you say that? doesnt elc signify high course rigor and stats

[bitter zephyr]

well CS is the most applied major in the Engineering dept

[wet sandal]

elc doesnt matter towards admissions that much

[gilded rain]

the ucla computer labs are just filled with mannequins 💀💀💀

[kind kestrel]

holy shit i just realized the 17th is next week

i wanna know my decision so bad but at the same time i don’t wanna know

[regal grove]

Fucking kidding me

I’m the last batch then

[wooden merlin]

yeah i jus saw that

[grizzled stirrup]

why can't other UCs be like UCSC

[crystal ridge]

I wanna cryyyyy

[stray apex]

does this mean its releasing on the 20th

[regal grove]

no. it says by the 20th

[gilded scroll]

why do u care about ucsc

[tired oar]

I’m the last batch too

[gilded scroll]

isn’t uiuc better

[tired oar]

🥲🥲🥲

[gilded scroll]

It’s okay

Ucsc is weed school

And do u really wanna be a banana slug

[tired oar]

LMAOO

[bitter zephyr]

they have weed day lol

[bitter zephyr]

it's ok, you can cope on the side

[gilded scroll]

I already got ucsc

[bitter zephyr]

that was meant to be a joke but ok. Congrats 🙂

[gilded scroll]

ah ok

Thanks

[tired oar]

🥲

[gilded scroll]

I like your squirtle thingy

[tired oar]

Thank you

Is UCSC comp sci even hard to get into?

[gilded scroll]

All cs is hard to get into 😭

[tired oar]

Damnnn

🥲🥲🥲🥲

[bitter zephyr]

yeah

CS at UC is kinda hard

not kinda, actually hard

[warm burrow]

Their data says 60% acceptance rate

[tired oar]

my chances r looking slim prayge

Even tho ucsc isn’t even my top school

[bitter zephyr]

well, all I can say is hope for the best

CS is hard for everyone

[gilded scroll]

Bc only omega nerds apply cs

[tired oar]

Truee

I’ll probably get into UCR and just call it a day

[gilded scroll]

Did you apply sjsu

It is really good for cs/eng

[tired oar]

I heard it’s really hard to get into.

[gilded scroll]

sjsu itself should be fine, but cs is hard yeah

I think it is doable

Since it is just based on gpa and stuff

[tired oar]

ohh

[regal grove]

cuz i paid money and i want my decision

[regal grove]

how is calpoly for cs/eng then

[gilded scroll]

Super duper good

[foggy crow]

i assume ucd is really hard to get into cs

[regal grove]

well luckily they only look at grades

i think i should get into calpoly

i am hoping i get into uci, ucsd, and ucsb. ucsd the most

[tired oar]

^^ same :)

[tired oar]

I believe in you

[visual charm]

Dyk what day this is

[gilded scroll]

Ucsd is the dream

[visual charm]

They don’t mention it in the email

[foggy crow]

oh im not going into cs

im in the tiny major called atmospheric science

[tired oar]

UCSD is indeed the dream

SDSU was also one of my other schools

[foggy crow]

nice

good luck

[halcyon pecan]

my brudda

[regal grove]

For you too?

[foggy crow]

its pretty fs

[regal grove]

I thought you wanted cmu/Stanford

[gilded scroll]

Yeah but ucsd is still rly good

I can have multiple dreams smh

[regal grove]

I dreamed i got into Berkeley yesterday

And rejected by ucla and waitlisted by ucsd

I’m not kidding

[foggy crow]

ooh

im putting 120% of my energy into UCD lol

[regal grove]

But if you got into Berkeley

Would you still go to Davis

[foggy crow]

yes

im going into atmo sci and davis is one of 2 uc schools certified for undergrad and grad by nws

[dense flare]

That’s overall acceptance rate right?

[stiff scaffold]

The overall acceptance rate for UCSC shows 47%

From last year

Interesting

[gaunt oasis]

my last name starts with W 💀

[foggy crow]

F

[dense flare]

The acceptance rate for UCSC CS is very low. I’ve known a lot of people with 4.0s uw get rejected.

[warm burrow]

no it says on their data page

for CS

[dense flare]

I see. Could u send the link?

[warm burrow]

yeah

[foggy crow]

ucop

[wise cypress]

Does this mean Santa Cruz comes out on 20th or are they doing batches throughout the month

[warm burrow]

https://iraps.ucsc.edu/iraps-public-dashboards/student-demand/admissions-funnel.html

go to second tab

*admission funnel

[dense flare]

Cool thanks

[hearty dagger]

not sure how they calculate acceptance rate but oos acceptance is really high cause yield

[sterile horizon]

Was it bad that I want in the first couple batches of ucsc for other ucs like ucla or cal

[regal grove]

Is there one for ucsd

[warm burrow]

i don't think

[cyan moon]

Hi uc davis

[tender elm]

i think it might've been ppl with high stats, or it also couldve been random

[dense flare]

I think high stats applicants?

[calm atlas]

Berkeley legit takes like half a percent of their applicants early

You're good

[gilded scroll]

@tough jolt

Veda also had a dream she got into Berkeley and got rejected everywhere else

And look where that got her

[tough jolt]

yes

it was a nightmare at that time though

[regal grove]

why was it a nightmare

[warm burrow]

Davis tmrw, good luck everyone 🙏

[tough jolt]

i was scared of that school

[frank ridge]

lol

[bitter zephyr]

UCSD releases all it's decision at one time regardless of last name or region

it's not rolling like UCSC

[whole musk]

anyone know anything about this year's uci honors? was there a separate app or is it solely merit based

[tender elm]

iirc its merit based

idk how they figure that out though since everyone basically has the same stats

[bitter zephyr]

for Freshman/Transfer admits, it's merit based

you can go to UCI Honors when you enroll through a separate app

[jade fossil]

go bruins!

[bitter zephyr]

No

Go Tritons

[stray apex]

sc call themself rolling but no one has receive anything

[bitter zephyr]

Patience sir/ma'am @stray apex

I got my UCSC decision on a Saturday lol

[jade fossil]

no go bruins

[bitter zephyr]

no, go Tritons

[stray apex]

interesting

i take my words back then

[bitter zephyr]

[regal grove]

I’ll gladly take your acceptance then

i'm pretty sure the email will just tell u that ur status is updated?

[bitter zephyr]

No It'll tell you your decision

[cyan moon]

u get ur decision in the email?

[bitter zephyr]

yeah

and the portal

[cyan moon]

Thats ass

[bitter zephyr]

I saw my decision in the portal first though

before I got my email

[cyan moon]

oh

[bitter zephyr]

This is the email you get if you get in

[west sorrel]

We’re you just refreshing the portal starting at 3?

[bitter zephyr]

well not really

[warm burrow]

BRUhhhh

i wish

they would just tell me to check portal

[bitter zephyr]

I was sick with strep throat when UC Davis decisions got sent out

so I was too busy dying to refresh my portal lol

[cyan moon]

and whats the rejection letter

[bitter zephyr]

though the time I actually got enough energy to check my computer, the first site I saw was A2C and they said UCD was in

so I checked my portal and I got this

[bitter zephyr]

Idk I never got one

[regal torrent]

i'll use a2c as my indicator to check portal

bc one of y'all is gonna be refreshing and it need not be me

[west sorrel]

How much earlier did the portal came out before email? 😂 like a few minutes?

[dense flare]

I think its like "update on your application" or something like that

[vestal plume]

same energy as me turning in my late homework at 12:12 am

[bitter zephyr]

a couple hours lol(more like 1hr)

[ancient raven]

Does the portal stay congrats right away or do u need to click on status update

[bitter zephyr]

Right away

[cyan moon]

Man fuck uc davis this is to much work

[bitter zephyr]

I got hit with a welcome video

the minute I logged in

[vestal plume]

scary

[ancient raven]

Scary

[cyan moon]

scary

[dense flare]

scary

[bitter zephyr]

yeah logging into my UC Davis portal that day was something else

probably some of my biggest adrenaline rushes to date

[west sorrel]

Scary af

[regal torrent]

imma be so friggin tachycardic opening decisions

[bitter zephyr]

tachycardic?

[west sorrel]

Like shaking with excitement

[vestal plume]

bro snuck a sat word into the a2c chat smh

[ancient raven]

Comes out like 2 minutes after school ends for me 😭

[bitter zephyr]

oh yeah it'll happen

[dense flare]

hopefully you dont develop ligma

[west sorrel]

Can someone message in #1050953827186114581 once decisions out?

Don’t wanna check a2c

[cyan moon]

So what really is an aggie?

[warm burrow]

a horse

[bitter zephyr]

I'm going to send Triton Luck vibes your way guys

[cyan moon]

Think about it

[bitter zephyr]

Good luck with UC Davis

it's an amazing school from what I've heard

[vestal plume]

isn't it like someone from a farm 💀

[bitter zephyr]

I've never been to campus 😦

[cyan moon]

UC davis is not real

U guys are falling for this scam

[bitter zephyr]

cow farm moment

[vestal plume]

the campus is really beautiful

[bitter zephyr]

my dad says so too

[cyan moon]

Now has anyone here actually seen the campus?

[bitter zephyr]

[dense flare]

[vestal plume]

[regal torrent]

[west sorrel]

Campus is so pretty and serene

[cyan moon]

Yeah, UC davis is not real

[vestal plume]

real

[bitter zephyr]

which UC's did you apply for?

[ancient raven]

Ppl say it gets boring there

[vestal plume]

real as in it is not real

[void mantle]

yea i lived in davis for a month

[dense flare]

@bitter zephyr what made you choose UCSD over UCD personally?

[vestal plume]

i think it depends on what your idea of fun is

[void mantle]

campus is ugly and mid af

i dont get the hype at all

i sent that in the uc davis chat at first cuz this is my alt LMAOOOO

[dense flare]

I live(d) near both davis and san diego campuses lmao

[void mantle]

the cs building

is

kinda

mid

as well

[west sorrel]

Disagree

[dense flare]

@void mantle the UCD CS building?

[void mantle]

ive done research in there for a month

[west sorrel]

The vibe is unmatched

[void mantle]

yea

[vestal plume]

yeah the cs building looks kinda ass

[void mantle]

dorms r

tiny

[vestal plume]

i don't care though

[void mantle]

but

[ancient raven]

Cosmos?

[void mantle]

bathrooms are clean

[dense flare]

@void mantle how tiny are we talking here

[void mantle]

uh

well

kinda

small for 3 people

u get a desk

and a closet

and theres like some walking space

[dense flare]

give me the length in banana scale

[void mantle]

and u get bunk beds

uh

like

[dense flare]

thats the only scale americans know how to use

[void mantle]

💀

mb

i have a pic

somewhere

[vestal plume]

wait but aren't all dorms really small

[void mantle]

idk davis' was j small af

[vestal plume]

stanford dorms are tiny too

idk i just imagine a really small room by default

[void mantle]

ik fordham's isnt

super small

[dense flare]

I guess but tbf some private schools have better dorms. But honestly you are going there for like the education to price ratio

[void mantle]

also

at daivs

theres

like

[dense flare]

I like how you type out one word at a time

[void mantle]

LOL

its my typing style

[void mantle]

no studying spots

the library and there's a 24 hr one i think

but the library closes p early

and its far

off

from the dorms^^

my roommate was bothered that there was only 1 gym 💀

food was good tho? imo

[bitter zephyr]

UCD was too far + never been to UCD so I didn't know how campus vibes were. Plus UCSD has beach and Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a better Chemical Engineering program

[void mantle]

but the town is boring (tho the gelato place is so good)

[dense flare]

yeah thats cool.

[vestal plume]

yeah i feel like i'd choose ucsd over ucd if i could

[dense flare]

I love boring places

[vestal plume]

weather is also a lot more pleasant

[bitter zephyr]

If I didn't get into UCSD I'd probably choose either UCSB or Davis

[regal torrent]

ucb, uci, ucla, ucr, ucsb, ucsd

[bitter zephyr]

UCI last

[void mantle]

LMAOOO at ucd

i saw

[dense flare]

r u a college student?

[void mantle]

sm

laying down on their stmach squirrels

[void mantle]

nah senior rn

[vestal plume]

like ground squirrels?

[void mantle]

no like

normal

squirrels

and also

[bitter zephyr]

Santa Barbara is hella cool though

I would love to go there

[void mantle]

u cld lowk feed them

and there was a squirrel

[bitter zephyr]

we got coons

[void mantle]

who hung around my bf n i

[dense flare]

whats n i

[void mantle]

but davis is like 1 hr away from sf by trian/bus

[void mantle]

"and i"

[dense flare]

oh

[celest spoke]

Do any UCs come out tmrw besides Davis?

[stiff scaffold]

I don't think so

[void mantle]

mb uci honors

[bitter zephyr]

wouldn't count on it

[void mantle]

not even sure what the benefit of uci honors is

[dense flare]

racoons are damn thieves. Why else are they dressed up like ones with their damn ski masks

[void mantle]

nah i dont but ppl say maybe

[bitter zephyr]

They are hella fuzzy though

[stiff scaffold]

The others start coming next Friday

[dense flare]

very huggable

[bitter zephyr]

I like the fat ones though

[dense flare]

fat and chunky ones

thick ones

[bitter zephyr]

yes the thicc raccoons are what we look for

[dense flare]

yes

[bitter zephyr]

https://ucsdguardian.org/2017/11/06/saving-the-trash-pandas/

[void mantle]

raccoons r so cute

[bitter zephyr]

if anyone needs more reasons to come to UCSD, we got some thicc raccoons on campus

[void mantle]

my entire pinterest board rn is raccoons

also

@bitter zephyr how is ucsd socially

[bitter zephyr]

alive

when did he come?

[dense flare]

i thought it is socially dead?

[void mantle]

yeah thats what he said too

[bitter zephyr]

it's socially dead cause we don't have frat parties every night

[void mantle]

jnr year

[bitter zephyr]

people would rather grind for midterms than have frat parties

[void mantle]

i mean i'd go

[bitter zephyr]

we aren't UCLA

[void mantle]

if i get in

[dense flare]

Sounds like heaven for CS majors

[void mantle]

n thats the best school

i get into

[bitter zephyr]

it's uCSd

[void mantle]

altho i'd pick it over osme ivies

oops

[dense flare]

you almost doxxed urself

[void mantle]

anyways ucd food

[bitter zephyr]

looks like any normal dining hall food

[void mantle]

better than some colleges fs

[vestal plume]

looks pretty good

[bitter zephyr]

tbh UCSD dining hall food kinda sucks

it's decent but it gets old fast

[quiet night]

bro you're going to make me feel bad when I get rejected lmao

[void mantle]

i mean i got a lot of salads cuz i ate like ramen everyday n i craved veggies 💀 they have more options

[dense flare]

i just want to get into UCLA for the food

[void mantle]

THEY HAVE SM COFFEE OPTIONS

i love the coffe

[vestal plume]

really colorful too, the vegetables look so good lol

[void mantle]

and creamer options

and milk choices

[quiet night]

istg gonna get too attached to the school and then get waitlisted

[bitter zephyr]

Good luck!!!

[void mantle]

LOL dw i thnk u wouldnt miss out too much

i do not want to go to davis

[bitter zephyr]

A waitlist isn't an auto rejection

[void mantle]

even if i get in

im not going

tbh

[dense flare]

shots fired

[void mantle]

i got into better schools for cs

[void mantle]

one month was far toomuch for me 😭

[quiet night]

how often do they actually reject vs. waitlist?

since I may appeal rejection if I get rejected idk

[bitter zephyr]

idk, that's a question for the Admissions Office, not me

[dense flare]

@foggy crow isnt gonna be happy when she sees this conversation

[quiet night]

hm

[dense flare]

lmao

[void mantle]

i think UCs are waitlisting a lot

[dense flare]

I can guarantee everyone that UCD will reject atleast 1 person

[bitter zephyr]

we do have overenrollment problems cause more people are accepting offers than we can handle

[quiet night]

is it possible for me to pick up on radiation coming off of the trace amounts of uranium within the documents in california in order to model a picture of the papers and see if I got accepted or rejected?

[vestal plume]

bro

[bitter zephyr]

UC's are legally obliged to provide services to every applicant who accepts their offer of admissions

[void mantle]

yeah thats why i didnt rlly want to go to an UC unless i get regents or smthn

[dense flare]

are you proposing making a nuclear bomb?

[quiet night]

bruh no lmao

I just need a big telescope

that's it

[bitter zephyr]

regents doesn't mean much during class enrollment

I'm a Senior and it's still a bit challenging to get classes that you like

[dense flare]

NAH U WANT A NUCLEAR BOMB

jk

[quiet night]

it's Davis not Manhattan ong

[void mantle]

does it make it slightly easier

n typically for cs students, ur able to get the courses u need right

[bitter zephyr]

well, for large UC's like UCSD, it's not much

[bitter zephyr]

well yes

[dense flare]

arent like all the UCs pretty big

[bitter zephyr]

CS courses have CS majors get first preference

then the minors

then the rest of the population if they have space

[quiet night]

imo a big college is best since there are a shitton of places to sit around and chill and make friends and explore and shit

[bitter zephyr]

UCLA isn't lol

it's the smallest UC I think

[void mantle]

ucla isnt?

i thought it was really big

[bitter zephyr]

campus? no

[dense flare]

Oh i meant population size

[void mantle]

size

popluation size

[quiet night]

I thought berkeley had the smallest

[gilded scroll]

@tough jolt how much would u sell ur Berkeley acceptance (assuming u get regents too) for

[bitter zephyr]

yeah UC Berkeley, LA, SD are some of the bigger ones

[gilded scroll]

I mean I think u can get regents too tbh

[dense flare]

more than 1 dollar but less then 1 trillion dollars

[gilded scroll]

Derp I was not talking to you

[dense flare]

Seeing how sweaty A2C students are, probably like 10 million

[bitter zephyr]

Screw Berkeley

they rejected me

I hate UCB

[gilded scroll]

why don’t you go back to general and stop bothering me

[quiet night]

tomorrow either college app season ends or continues

[dense flare]

what did I do to u lol

[bitter zephyr]

Good luck

Sending good vibes your way

[quiet night]

thanks

[gilded scroll]

Idk I just felt like being mean

[dense flare]

oh that wasnt my intention man

ur my homie

[gilded scroll]

[quiet night]

goddamn this relationship is fire right here

[gilded scroll]

[quiet night]

I keep confusing bria and derp lmao

[dense flare]

CS is pretty packed everywhere

[dense flare]

[quiet night]

[void mantle]

LOL we hav backyard catching things bc raccoons n stuff eat our veggies n fruits

[quiet night]

like if they're homeless they're free

[void mantle]

[dense flare]

U r lucky Rocket the Racoon isnt homeless

[bitter zephyr]

here at UCSD, our raccoons eat pizza and are grinding at Geisel 24/7 on their laptops

[void mantle]

[void mantle]

adorbale

[lament oxide]

[lament oxide]

rather new facilities

tons of great places to go walking

and the sunsets are sooo amazing

[lament oxide]

yup

[void mantle]

💀

i have the exact opposite

[warm burrow]

hello Zephyr

[void mantle]

opinion

[lament oxide]

oh shit-

[quiet night]

broooo don't tell me that I want to go so bad

[dense flare]

@void mantle about to pop off on UC davis

[warm burrow]

😭

[void mantle]

wait ur pfp seems familiar

@lament oxide did u go to cosmos

[lament oxide]

yes lmao

4 weeks at davis so im slightly biased

[dense flare]

damn you guys know each other?

[void mantle]

those 4 weeks

made ma

me

[lament oxide]

but still thought it was very nice campus

[void mantle]

hate

davis

or well

slightly dislike

[vivid shell]

why

[quiet night]

what if we bring raccoons to davis and introduce them to the ecosystem

is that illegal

[void mantle]

wait

yes

i want to do that

[lament oxide]

ouch

[void mantle]

makes the campus 293932/10

[dense flare]

@void mantle should just make a google doc of all the reasons why it sucks and then send that google doc whenever someone asks why they think it sucks

[quiet night]

bro the cows fr going to hang out with the raccoons 💀

[dense flare]

I personally like UC davis

[void mantle]

yea ppl have diff vibes

[bitter zephyr]

I like it too

[void mantle]

like how ucsc doesnt fit me

at all

[bitter zephyr]

seems like a cool place

[quiet night]

@void mantle could you list the reasons why davis is bad so that the rejection hits less hard

[void mantle]

💀

lemme find what i sent

before

nvm

too lazy

lemme j list

[dense flare]

why dont you like UCSC? I guess its kinda similar to UCD

[bitter zephyr]

Fun fact: UCSC is the only school that took me in even though I literally applied for a major that they don't have

In my UC App I wrote about how my favorite major was Chemical Engineering and UCSC doesn't have it

[dense flare]

what was the closest thing to chemical engineering

i love UCSC campus

[bitter zephyr]

so I applied Undeclared Physical Sciences and Math and I had 0 expectation of getting in

somehow I did

[dense flare]

thats cool

[quiet night]

bria is typing...

[calm atlas]

bria is typing...

[bitter zephyr]

Idk it seems too liberal for me lol

campus felt more like a hippie retreat than a university

[void mantle]

• boring run down campus
• literally nowhere to study, library closes so early + only a few places (if any) have 24/7 studying
• nothing to do in the town (vvv good gelato tho, a lot of smaller asian stores and a lot of rip off aka taobao purchased anime stuff that are overpriced to rip off college obsessed anime ppl)
• v old vibe? idk
• literally nothing to do nearby either
• classrooms/research area seemed old too
• very hilly
• not really pretty at all
• i walked 10k-20k + biking everyday, but it wasnt bad after some time passed ig
• dorms are so cramped + small

[quiet night]

why'd you have to include the positives 😭

[bitter zephyr]

the library closing early is a UC thing lol

[lament oxide]

lmao i have like the absolute opposite view 💀

[bitter zephyr]

my library closes at 6 on Friday

[vestal plume]

bruh ucd is not hilly

[void mantle]

the gelato place didnt even taste like gelato

[vestal plume]

it's so flat

[quiet night]

what is gelato? isn't that just ice cream but fancy name

[void mantle]

imo it was kinda hilly

or maybe

it was just very borken down bumpy

[bitter zephyr]

my dad said that UCD isn't hilly at all lol

it's just flat

[vestal plume]

it isn't

[dense flare]

yeah I would consider myself kinda liberal but yeah it does have a hippie kinda culture

[void mantle]

the places ive been on campus r

[quiet night]

honestly the walking part sounds good actually

[dense flare]

But I totally understand it

[void mantle]

there are hilly places and there are bumpy places

[quiet night]

like 10-20k steps a day? that's healthy af
