so its not j ucd

dw

[bitter zephyr]

I only got like Freshman 10 lol

[quiet night]

[dense flare]

I thought UCD was like a biking/waling school

[vestal plume]

[dense flare]

Like its hard to have a car

[vestal plume]

[quiet night]

ohh

[dense flare]

lmao bria is being defeated by the spam filter

[quiet night]

uhh

[vestal plume]

yeah i did hear from my tour guide that bike theft is pretty bad

idt it's any worse than like other UCs though

[quiet night]

@calm atlas could you help? bria got muted for accidentally doing spam filter

[vestal plume]

just that more students have bikes

[bitter zephyr]

bike theft is common in all UC's

my roommate had his bike stolen before

[vestal plume]

yeah

[regal grove]

do u remember the time u got it

[calm atlas]

uh

unfortunate

one sec

[bitter zephyr]

Sometime around 3pm

[calm atlas]

@mystic ginkgo

@void mantle

[calm atlas]

shit sorry

wrong one

my bad

[quiet night]

[quiet night]

ye it seems, the G role is gone

[void mantle]

[quiet night]

you committed a crime, evil

how dare you send 4 messages that fast

[calm atlas]

bria are you a hs senior

[void mantle]

[calm atlas]

mf is crying

[void mantle]

isnt that

a

[quiet night]

tears of joy?

[void mantle]

sweat

drop

[bitter zephyr]

waitlist moment

[void mantle]

exactly its not relieved

[calm atlas]

oh

i thought that was a tear

LMAO

[void mantle]

also @bitter zephyr where do u study if libraries close so early/does ucsd have any 24/7 studying spots

[wet sandal]

what ucla's cs acceptance rate

[quiet night]

no wait that encapsulates it perfectly

[void mantle]

3-4%

iirc

[bitter zephyr]

UCSD has 24/7 study areas Sunday-Thursday

[quiet night]

you're thinking of the 🥲 one

[bitter zephyr]

I usually study at home if the library closes early

[void mantle]

how abt during finals week

[calm atlas]

i think ucla is 10% cs no? berk is the 3-4%

[bitter zephyr]

open all week 24/7 during midterms and finals

[quiet night]

berkeley is higher I thought

[void mantle]

not according to ucla's data

unfortunately

[calm atlas]

oh i was looking at grad

my bad

[void mantle]

i think u can find it somewhere on a2c

[wet sandal]

bruh it might be lower dawg

[void mantle]

a lot of ppl posted the link

[quiet night]

for 2021 UCB was 14.4%

[wet sandal]

i heard 2%

[void mantle]

nah berk is 4% i thought

[wet sandal]

its dropped

[dense flare]

I thought 4-5%

[quiet night]

oh damn

[dense flare]

For CS

[void mantle]

yeah prob around that much

i love being cs

[quiet night]

oh just for CS?

[bitter zephyr]

it's 14.4% of the 12% they admitted right?

[dense flare]

That’s prob average acceptance rate

[quiet night]

?

idk

[void mantle]

r u guys doing cs?

[quiet night]

honestly I'm glad now that I didn't do CS lmao

[bitter zephyr]

Engineering

[quiet night]

doing bio

[dense flare]

Yeah

[void mantle]

ohhhh nice

[tender elm]

This thread goin off tn

[void mantle]

for cs would u pick ucla over penn?

[dense flare]

Yeah

[void mantle]

ik a lot of ppl do

[bitter zephyr]

Seniors burning off their adrenaline lol

[quiet night]

the main reason I'm banking on UC Davis is that around 7 years ago I had a dream about going to UC Davis or someth, and I'm hoping that it's true

[tender elm]

Fr

[void mantle]

and honestly my penn interviewer j roasted penn the entire interview

so i no longer wish to go

[bitter zephyr]

Did you get into UC Davis back when you were applying?

[bitter zephyr]

oof L

[tender elm]

I got off the waitlist

[bitter zephyr]

ah

[void mantle]

guys he literally said to my question "what owuld u do differently if u could redo college"

"i would research my colleges more"

[vestal plume]

lol

[tender elm]

My email screenshots are floating around a2c somewhere

[quiet night]

honestly solid advice, I haven't researched much of the schools I apply to

like the most I prob do is watch one or two youtube videos

[void mantle]

and talked abt how he would have researched penn more without saying it directly

he really disliked penn 💀

[bitter zephyr]

so true

[void mantle]

yeah me too tbh

i dont know anything abt my colleges

[bitter zephyr]

I'd change it to I would research my major more lol

I thought ChemE was a lot of Chemistry

[quiet night]

the reason I decided not to ED2 to case was because I watched a video about uc davis and liked it too much lmao

[bitter zephyr]

it turns out that it's 99% Physics and CS and Math

[void mantle]

is cwru cs good?

[bitter zephyr]

1% Chemistry

[quiet night]

I know a friend who does that, I think it's someth with pipes and tubes

[void mantle]

i was kinda considering it cuz 80% undergrad do research apparently

[bitter zephyr]

yes we are the pipe and tube major

[frank reef]

wait what UC's have come out so far

[quiet night]

idk, I just know about medical stuff there with cleveland clinic

[void mantle]

ucsc early batch

[quiet night]

yooo mario major

[frank reef]

oh ok word

[void mantle]

ucr/ucm??? maybe

[vestal plume]

ucr, ucm, cal early, ucsc early

[bitter zephyr]

absolutely

[vestal plume]

i think ucr and ucm are still rolling (?)

[frank reef]

I see the UCLA chat being active and my heartrate increased

[bitter zephyr]

you should seriously get off A2C then lol

[frank reef]

no fr

[void mantle]

the only uc i really like is ucla 😭

[frank reef]

saw columbia likelies came out and ive been on that a2c grind

[dense flare]

Fun fact: UPenn has one of the highest STD rates for a college

In the country

[bitter zephyr]

I disliked UCLA until I saw Waddle

[frank reef]

i didnt even apply to columbia...

[quiet night]

bro if someone just sent something saying UC Davis came out and pretended it did I guarantee that some people will go into cardiac arrest

[bitter zephyr]

then I thought I had hope at UCLA

then UCLA shot me down

[void mantle]

fun fact i applied columbia bc i loved their prompts

despite i would never go

[dense flare]

Why

[void mantle]

and my parents would murder me if they found out i applied

[bitter zephyr]

Columbia shot me down instantly lol

[vestal plume]

the columbia book/media list were really fun to put together tbh

[dense flare]

Why

[quiet night]

ain't no way you wrote essays for fun

[vestal plume]

i don't remember their other prompts though

[void mantle]

💀 i loved

college app

writing

[vestal plume]

oh there was the "what brings you happiness?"

[dense flare]

U r built different

[quiet night]

fuck I fell out of my chair

[frank reef]

bruh i applied to northeastern for the sole reason of not having to write anything

[dense flare]

I hate big cities like Boston, anyone else?

[quiet night]

I feel like the reason you dislike davis is that it has too much grass

[bitter zephyr]

it didn't work? 😦

[dense flare]

Like no disrespect tho

[frank reef]

lol

[void mantle]

its in nyc, too many girls (according to my mom 💀 so harder to get a bf... altho i already have a bf), not super safe, dirty, expensive af (and we live in the bay)

[quiet night]

I'm having heart palpitations

[void mantle]

granted she doesnt know i have a bf

[quiet night]

I'm hallucinating

[dense flare]

Just do a uno reverse and say you are homosexual

[vestal plume]

LOL my mom made the same point about attending a women's college

[quiet night]

it's the day

it just became the day

[void mantle]

LOL i wanted to go to barnard before

but my friends mom was like

if u go to a womans college

u either

[quiet night]

18 hours left

[void mantle]

hate men

or are gay

[vestal plume]

apparently it's scientifically proven that men generally behave better when there is a higher men:women ratio

[dense flare]

Really?

All my friends act up around girls

[void mantle]

really?

[dense flare]

It’s weird

[bitter zephyr]

I wish I had a gf

my last one broke up with me after a month

[vestal plume]

i think it's like some weird competition thing

[bitter zephyr]

it was long distance so it was inevitable

[dense flare]

Sorry to hear that

[void mantle]

transfer to columbia!

LOL rn me n my bf r ldr

hes actually in sd rn

we

[bitter zephyr]

I'm pretty ok lol

[void mantle]

[dense flare]

WAIT what school does he go to

[quiet night]

[vestal plume]

[bitter zephyr]

[void mantle]

ohh thats good

[dense flare]

[dense flare]

I don’t care if I am sleep deprived from the school as long as I have that sweet seeeeeeet prestige

[void mantle]

"because you'll be studying 24/7 anyways"

[bitter zephyr]

oh

damn

[dense flare]

Yo @bitter zephyr what type of jobs do chemical engineers do?

[bitter zephyr]

lots of jobs actually

[dense flare]

im kinda open to other engineering majors so im curious

[bitter zephyr]

you can work in semiconductors, petroleum, laboratory jobs, you name it

[void mantle]

isnt it v hard to change maj in UCs?

[dense flare]

cool. What do you plan on doing?

[quiet night]

honestly stanford campus is probably best one in california imo

[dense flare]

investment banking or consulting

[vagrant briar]

[vagrant briar]

her roles werent back

[quiet night]

exactly what I want

[calm atlas]

bruh

do i have to rolepersist

[bitter zephyr]

yeah I don't really like working in engineering jobs long term

just want a starter engineering job

[quiet night]

like idk why I would want a college in the middle of the city

[calm atlas]

last time fish got muted it worked tho so

[dense flare]

yeah

[quiet night]

seems too hectic

[vagrant briar]

you have to use g!unmute <user id> for spam unmutes

[vestal plume]

ig so

[calm atlas]

i did not know that

[vestal plume]

it's like bay area but i have a bias against south bay so

[vagrant briar]

or else roles dont come back

[calm atlas]

#1 mod fr

[dense flare]

just curious, is there mod jobs open for the discord server?

[vagrant briar]

[primal pendant]

There’s a fat hole in my wallet

[quiet night]

Im declaring war on raccoons

[young onyx]

[wet sandal]

20 and im thinking i should have done more

[frank reef]

nah cuz how tf you even gonna remember all the passwords for those portals

[void mantle]

but ur one urself.....

[frank reef]

i ripped 25 and thought it was too much

[quiet night]

I just have a notebook file

[void mantle]

my computer remembers for me!

[primal pendant]

Should have done minimum 40

[void mantle]

it even created the pws for me 😄

[wet sandal]

if ur an asian in cs 20 is the minimum

[void mantle]

20 is way too little

do 30 min

[quiet night]

Lmao I have "rat" in my name

[frank reef]

guys stop coming up with legitimate ways to remember things

[young onyx]

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/03/us/teenager-college-acceptance-scholarships.html

[vestal plume]

holy

[void mantle]

its ok i'll keep ur secret

[frank reef]

nerd alert

[dense flare]

bruh

[vestal plume]

average a2c user

[dense flare]

it depends on like how competitve the schools were

[quiet night]

Time for jealousy

[void mantle]

i have never heard of any of those schools

in her bg 💀

girl really j searched up no supp colleges n applied to them all

[vestal plume]

still crazy though

[void mantle]

(im joking)

mmm not really

cuz most r like

low ranked

[frank reef]

bro all those acceptances and she decided on bennett college

[quiet night]

There are like thousands of schools, it's easy to get a few hundred if you bother to apply

[void mantle]

i'd rather put togehter a better app for t20s than waste time on schools i'd never go to

[dense flare]

MF prob spend over 4 mill for application fees

[void mantle]

app fees prob

[slender monolith]

do we know what time uc davis is coming out tmrw

[void mantle]

like those

waivers

[quiet night]

Idk what these random ass unis are

Like tf is Miami at oxford

[frank reef]

some juicy 79% acceptace rate school

[dense flare]

its like oxford at miami

[void mantle]

ripoff oxford

[quiet night]

Ayo?

[dense flare]

lmao

there are so many oxfords

like emory oxford too

[void mantle]

wait

emory oxford

i thought it was

emory as one school

and oxford as another school

💀

i was so confused to why the emory thread was like emory oxford

[dense flare]

there is university of oxford which is what most people are thinking of

then there is oxford emory which is another campus of emory like 30 min away from the main campus

the "real" oxford university is in england

[void mantle]

are they even connected

like is oxford emory related to uni of oxford

[dense flare]

no

[void mantle]

i saw oxford too much

now

i see it as ox ford

as in the ox

[dense flare]

like its not related at all

[void mantle]

💀

[dense flare]

lmao

its like Cornell college vs cornell unversity lmao

[void mantle]

yea tha tmakes sense

i dont get why people like cornell either

(as a cornell ED applicant)

[dense flare]

ice cream

[void mantle]

i got deferred thankfully

[quiet night]

I should probably go to sleep

[young onyx]

yeah cornell is crap (as a deferred applicant)

[frank reef]

sleep is for the week

[void mantle]

LOL nah actually

[vestal plume]

also agreed as a deferred applicant

[void mantle]

i never understood

the type

of cornell

i applied bc it was the best ivy for cs

💀

[frank reef]

guys cornell is great (pleas please please please please let me in)

[void mantle]

(not that i'd get in)

[dense flare]

wait what do you mean "type of cornell"

ohhh u meant hype

nvm

[void mantle]

i also dont get columbia and penn 😭

[bitter zephyr]

investment banking

consulting's also fine

[frank reef]

columbia has aesthetic colors

[dense flare]

yeah

[void mantle]

that's ture

[vestal plume]

isn't ib hellish

[void mantle]

almost didnt apply pton bc of its color

[dense flare]

yeah that makes sense

[void mantle]

dont u need to do a specific major(s) to do that

[frank reef]

did the common app questions for princeton, saw the number of supps and proceeded to remove it from my list

[bitter zephyr]

I don't think so

but UCSD doesn't have a Finance major so I'm doing the best I could of a bad situation

by taking a minor in Economics and taking as many finance classes as I can before I leave

[void mantle]

ohh yea that makes sense

gl

[young onyx]

same lol

[frank reef]

thats simply the only reason I didnt apply, totally one hundredd percent wouldve gotten in for sure

[wet sandal]

what percent of berk cs is just cract bay area ppl

[bitter zephyr]

98% Bay Area

1% other Californians

1% OOS/Intl

[haughty kiln]

is that actually the stat lmao

[bitter zephyr]

people need to get off A2C when joke stats seem like reality lol

[haughty kiln]

hahahaha

[wet sandal]

nah its def hyperbole

[haughty kiln]

that's a good one 😭

[wet sandal]

but bay area mfers r different when it comes to cs

[stray apex]

all my friends's first word was system.out.print("hello world");

[haughty kiln]

im scared that when i attend a cs school im just gonna be run over by tryerds whove been coding out of the womb

lmaoo

[stray apex]

nah but most ppl ik are applying cs

its hard to find a non stem major

[wet sandal]

not java 😭

[stray apex]

💀

and there is me

im gon to be a econbusiness major

[bitter zephyr]

Hi

[bitter zephyr]

Hi again

[stray apex]

omg

which major

[bitter zephyr]

Chemical Engineering + Management Science(Finance)

[stray apex]

i seee checmical engineering

[bitter zephyr]

but I'm also in the Econ Department tho

you didn't specify whether you wanted a pure non-STEM major

[stray apex]

i suppose thats right

how does non stem major feel

compare to stem major

[bitter zephyr]

a lot less hectic

[regal torrent]

there's like no cs kids at my school

everyone wanna be doctor or nurse

[bitter zephyr]

and a lot more theoretical

[stray apex]

in terms of workload?

🤔

[bitter zephyr]

workload and applications

STEM has a large workload and a lot more practical applications

Non STEM has a smaller workload but the applications you see are a lot more theoretical

[wet sandal]

same

[stray apex]

ah

but if there is less workload im up for it

[bitter zephyr]

depends on your prof though lol

[stray apex]

oh

i've heard

[real rock]

yo yall

is uc davis out today?

or rather tomorrow if you're in america

10th march?

[bitter zephyr]

Friday 3PM US Pacific Time

[dense flare]

I believe its tomorrow for the US

yeah

[bitter zephyr]

someone pin this

[haughty kiln]

so high chances for ucsd/uci/ucla for 17th?

[real rock]

damn good luck yall

[real rock]

no clue but if there is prob around that date

[regal torrent]

ucsd has released on that 3rd friday since the past forever

[haughty kiln]

bettt

hopes high 🙏

[dense flare]

good luck everyone!

[real rock]

fr

is it easy to switch major for the UC schools?

[dense flare]

depends if its capped or not

[real rock]

I applied to UCI, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Davis, Santa Barbara and san diego

how easy are these to switch major?

[real rock]

is psych that demanded?

is it in high demand or no?

i mean is business high demanded lol

(prob is cuz its business ....)

[cinder sun]

praying for UCI after uw

[real rock]

madison?

whens UCI is it like 24th march or sth?

[crude shale]

probs 17th alongside the others i think

[real rock]

i thought the others are like end of march ish

[vestal plume]

😭 that's a lot coming out on the 17th

[crude shale]

fr

ik a lot of the LACs are releasing then too

[cinder sun]

nah UW seattle

didnt get into cs

[vestal plume]

uw cs seems really hard this year

[real rock]

rough

[regal torrent]

praying for (any of the uc's coming up)

[cinder sun]

ya

I literally completed the whole weed out sequence at my cc for no reason

[haughty kiln]

another hard week of waiting

waiting is the hardest part i swear

[real rock]

true

together with writing essays (ish)

tbh

[wet sandal]

slaving away at school while your future is on the balance is worse

[timber patio]

When is UCLA releasing ?

[real rock]

the decision date should just be random

so the kids dont get anxious waiting for their decisions

[regal torrent]

california dreaming

[dense flare]

hmmm not sure

[timber patio]

Oos

[wet sandal]

17th

[real rock]

i meant business lol

but prob very demanded

ucla portal is annoying

i gotta find my uc id everytime i wanna login 🗿

[bitter zephyr]

Depends on what major you want to switch into

Business Econ at UCSD is uncapped

easy to switch into

[real rock]

lesgo

ima do that if i get in :>

hehe

[runic ermine]

is UCI coming tmw

based on previous years

[dense flare]

only honors

for a small amount of people

[runic ermine]

oh shit really/

[dense flare]

it supposed to come on the 17th or start rolling then

[dense flare]

yeah

[regal torrent]

imagine if we had a uc day and all of them release simultaneously

[runic ermine]

rejected from UW today expecting more of the same tmw

[dense flare]

r u in state for washington?

[tender elm]

🔥

[runic ermine]

nope

[dense flare]

yeah its like 3% or less for oos if u r doing cs. (if u did apply for cs)

dont worry about it

[runic ermine]

yuh it's aight idrc

[void mantle]

idk why ppl apply for uw tbh (like oos for cs)

i havent seen a single person get in for cs oos, it's all accepted for prescience

[dense flare]

I didn’t cause it’s basically impossible

[void mantle]

and also seattle.

i lived there for a year

it was

miserable

too gloomy for me but snow!!!

[void mantle]

yeah thats why i didnt too

[gaunt oasis]

genuine question, why do ppl apply to anything more than 20+ schools

isnt that just a waste of money at that point, since youre only going to 1 of them

[calm atlas]

shotgunning ☝️🤓

[gaunt oasis]

i thought my 14 schools was a lot then i hear ab that person here that applied to 45 oml

[regal torrent]

acceptance rates so low they think they can game the system by lowering them even further

[gaunt oasis]

to be fair tho i got campus fee waivers for 8 of those campuses (i only applied uc and csu)

[regal torrent]

lol california public only gang

[gaunt oasis]

oh so they only do that if theyre applying to mainly top top schools got it

lmfao yeah

its so simple one app for all the campuses, way less effort

[calm atlas]

I did like 6 t20s and then UCs + CSUs and a couple safeties

20 schools

[real rock]

damn

same

[gaunt oasis]

i did 8 uc’s (skipped ucla) and 6 csu’s

[real rock]

i did 6 UCs, prob like 10 ish top 20s, a couple of top 40s and a few safeties

[calm atlas]

2 CSUs and every UC except Davis, Riverside, and Merced

[real rock]

lol what have ucla done to u

[vestal plume]

be in LA

[calm atlas]

😭

[real rock]

true

[calm atlas]

I'm offended man

[real rock]

if u watch nba and hate lakers (or lebron) maybe UCLA isnt for u lol

[gaunt oasis]

its just not rly my kinda vibe, like i can def see how others would be happy there but it doesn’t really emphasize its physics program

[real rock]

ohhh

physics kid lol

[gaunt oasis]

lmfao yeah

[real rock]

@gaunt oasis what u planning after ur physics degree then?

teaching or research?

[gaunt oasis]

i wanna go to grad school after that!! and do research in maybe particle physics or astrophysics

n theres a bunch of national labs that i would love to work at someday

[calm atlas]

wait isn't UCLA good for physics

Or am I tripping

[gaunt oasis]

all the uc’s are good for physics honestly bc the undergrad curriculum is basically the same

but i just ehhh

that low acceptance rate and expensive housing scared me off

[calm atlas]

idk I just thot UCLA labs would be great for physicies

are u oos?

[gaunt oasis]

nah in state

[calm atlas]

oh wait I guess housing doesn't matter for in state vs oos

just tuition

[gaunt oasis]

and i do know 2 students at my hs last year got into ucla which is good for them ! but the school is jus not my vibe rip

[calm atlas]

yeah it's in la

[gaunt oasis]

way too party-esque and extroverted for my physics major ass

[real rock]

damn

if one day u find proof to white hole or create a successful worm hole, hook me up

ima just become the 1st person to go into those :>

or when u get ur nobel in physics lol

[calm atlas]

just got rejected from uw so nervous abt Davis now

[gaunt oasis]

yesyes you can be in the main list of authors for the research paper on worm holes

[vestal plume]

particle physics sounds really cool

[real rock]

🗿 its fine bro

we all felt it at once

[real rock]

def lol

mostly theory physics but still cool

[real rock]

hehe lesgo

[vestal plume]

i don't really know anything about it but i took a day program at ucsc recently and i was like wow!

[real rock]

"credit to Felix for being the man"

[gaunt oasis]

PARTICLE PHYSICS IS SOO COOL like it sounds like the dream to work in the control room of a particle accelerator

[real rock]

fr lol

[vestal plume]

they had a little tank set up where you could actually physically see particles zipping around and it was amazing

[real rock]

particle accelerator

we bouta find dark matter

or we alr found it

cant rmb lol

[gaunt oasis]

theyre trying rlly hard to detect it but no luck yet

yet

[real rock]

really

[gaunt oasis]

thats so cool oml

[real rock]

i thought they found or rather theorise that in like a split second

particle and anti matter clash to cancel each other out

[gaunt oasis]

all the evidence points to its existence

[real rock]

did they not find proof for that?

[gaunt oasis]

we just havent directly observed it yet

[real rock]

ic ic

[gaunt oasis]

bc it doesn’t interact w light

[vestal plume]

oh it was this https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/einstein/educator-resources/building-a-cloud-chamber-cosmic-ray-detector !

[real rock]

btw tho

[vestal plume]

i forgot what it was called, a cloud chamber

[real rock]

im sitting next to my friends (couple) and they're fucking hugging 🗿

im literally stone-faced

pretend like i never saw it or shit 💀

[gaunt oasis]

YOO U CAN MAKE ONE??? oh my god

[vestal plume]

i know!!!

[real rock]

damn interesting

i love physics

[vestal plume]

it didn't look super complicated but i could have watched it forever

[real rock]

if i were to have many lives, i'd try all of these cool science majors

[gaunt oasis]

what is ur major?

[real rock]

business :>

i committed myself alr to it

since like start of high school or sth lol

[gaunt oasis]

oo nice, do u got like a plan for what u wanna do after u graduate college

become a ceo

[real rock]

nah bro 💀

im planning to go to a comp

do like a small or rather experimental ish position

as like a team member of their operation management or sth like that

and just sees a business from within

[vestal plume]

just become a ceo smh /j

[real rock]

THEN, ima open a restaurnat :>

[vestal plume]

do you know what kind of restaurant it'd be 👀

[real rock]

ye

vietnamese

cuz im vietnamese and lots of american ppl/western ppl love viet food lol

big market with low competition

[vestal plume]

sounds really tasty

[real rock]

yee

[vestal plume]

asian food is the best anyways

[real rock]

i alr thought everything out

[real rock]

argueable lol

steaks are quite good :>

tho asian food for me still tastes better

[gaunt oasis]

opening a restaraunt sounds so cool

[real rock]

ye

im planning to make it into a chain ish

but that might require lots of finance

if yall taking cs or sth we can collab u know ;))

[gaunt oasis]

dude thats awesome, if ur passionate about it then i have no doubt u can make it into a whole chain

[real rock]

or bio cuz ima need some good biologists to experiment with food and stuff

[serene nymph]

hey guysssss

[vestal plume]

no cs here thank goodness 💀

[real rock]

ye but its gonna take prob my whole life lol

[real rock]

rip 😭 i need them

[vestal plume]

i wouldn't make it out of applications alive if i applied cs

[real rock]

i also planned an app

[gaunt oasis]

sup

[vestal plume]

hi!

[real rock]

basically an anti-procrastination app u know

[real rock]

true

[serene nymph]

yall readyyyy?

[real rock]

hullo

[vestal plume]

hopefully!

🤞

[serene nymph]

woooooo

[real rock]

for what tho

[vestal plume]

ucd

[gaunt oasis]

we’ll seeee

[real rock]

ready for my econ test result? no

ucd kinda

i need to change my major tho lol

[serene nymph]

welp that was me last semester. 💀 econ was brutal.

[real rock]

(if i get admitted) 🤞

[real rock]

econ isnt that hard

just my teacher is poo poo 💀

[vestal plume]

ngl econ is hard if you don't already know some of the concepts

[real rock]

but hes nice just too slow and sometimes offtopic

[real rock]

hehe i took both econ and business (ib)

call me the business good

[serene nymph]

oh it was hard for me 😭

[vestal plume]

i really liked listening to econ podcasts in grade school and that's the only way i've been passing the class tbh

[real rock]

if psychology was a science, u'd be calling the marketing god by now

[real rock]

lol

[real rock]

rough

[vestal plume]

there's just so much information and you never really cover it in other classes

[real rock]

how is it hard for u tho?

for me its just graph lol

[real rock]

true ig

but its pretty like

self-explanatory or rather true when u observed it

[gaunt oasis]

my econ class last semester was a bit goofy, we didnt rlly talk about recession or interest or whatever econ is, we just talked about local businesses in our town lol and general topics like scarcity and consumers n all that

[real rock]

cuz for example when the demand of sth rises (stocks for example), its price also rises

as more demand but supply remains the same

[vestal plume]

i guess so, but there's also like investment terms and stuff i have a hard time remembering

[gaunt oasis]

we did not cover stocks or finance at all

[real rock]

so we have a surplus of demand and not enough supply

[serene nymph]

💀 our tests were like... brutal.

[real rock]

therefore the good is rarer -> higher price :>

ez

[serene nymph]

probably cuz i took ap econ

[real rock]

fair enough lol

[serene nymph]

but like 😭 idk why our tests were so hard

[real rock]

damn tf? macro or micro?

[real rock]

how?

[serene nymph]

the wording was so weird

[real rock]

i just have like 10 markers, asking u to evaluate stuff

[vestal plume]

does your teacher also word test questions weirdly LOL

[real rock]

not too hard

[serene nymph]

it was like trying to throw u off on purpose

[real rock]

econ is a language lol

[serene nymph]

and it worked.

[vestal plume]

my econ teacher does that and it trips me up so bad

[real rock]

wth is that lol

[real rock]

rip lol

[vestal plume]

like he just words the problem weirdly

[gaunt oasis]

….whats the difference 😭 they just called it econ, but im guessing it was macro??

[real rock]

i used to love graphs

now i dont

[serene nymph]

yeahhhh this

[vestal plume]

so it seems like one answer is correct bt it's actually a different one

[serene nymph]

😭

yeahhhh

[real rock]

micro = externalities, theory of firms, elasticity, ...

[serene nymph]

idk why teachers do that

[vestal plume]

he does it in his hw too and idk what he's asking at that point

[real rock]

(small scale stuff - surrounding firms usually)

or products

[vestal plume]

💀

[gaunt oasis]

OH then it was micro then

[real rock]

macro = bigger stuff -> tax, ....

[serene nymph]

like. ;-; just tell me the problem without weird words...

[real rock]

or rather ad/as

[real rock]

lol

[gaunt oasis]

ohhhh ok that makes a lot more sense why we were only talking ab local stuff, and ya we covered externalities

[real rock]

its what we call: Terminologies lol

[real rock]

thats micro then lol

[gaunt oasis]

ya lol

[real rock]

ig u're not supposed to do tax and stuff yet lol

tax for me (ib kid) is international trade

macro is like ad/as

[serene nymph]

it wasnt even terminologies man 😭 it was just weird sounding problems...

[gaunt oasis]

damn its fun learning about other majors / subjects, even if im not gonna do a degree in them

[real rock]

gotta learn the language lol

[real rock]

it is fun lol

like side hustle

[vestal plume]

did anyone here apply ucd?

[serene nymph]

ya

[real rock]

if one day we ever go to ucd together and u see a business kid in the physics major area

[gaunt oasis]

ye

[real rock]

its me

[grizzled stirrup]

yea

[vestal plume]

it was the only school i had a different applied major for lol

[real rock]

just me hanging around these smart kids to see if they discover the newest substance in the universe or not

[grizzled stirrup]

what major

[vestal plume]

plant sciences

[gaunt oasis]

hell yea and then we trade majors (jk)

[real rock]

hehe lol

[grizzled stirrup]

cool

[real rock]

ngl i can do science well

i just cant do literature 🗿

[serene nymph]

my major is music LOL

[real rock]

thats fun lol

music analysis is damn fun

[vestal plume]

woah

[real rock]

u learnt the reason why C# is better than C 💀

[gaunt oasis]

oh ya cara are u committing to ucr? saw u said u liked the school

if i get rejected to my top uc’s im going to ucr, i can def see myself happy there

[serene nymph]

depends on where else i get into :) but its one of my top choices cuz my sister goes there and im familiar with it

[gaunt oasis]

ucr gets too much hate tbh

i see

[serene nymph]

yeahhhh

the campus is gorgeoussss

[gaunt oasis]

i visited it over winter break!! i liked it

[serene nymph]

and less competition so my sister found it easier for her to do well

[wide totem]

hi sorry if i am intruding on another convo, but what time do decisions generally come out for UCs

[real rock]

damn legacy lol

[gaunt oasis]

i just know that if i go there im spending all my time in the orbach science library

[real rock]

apparently its 3pm pacific time

at least for ucd

[wide totem]

cool ty!

[real rock]

idk tho

[serene nymph]

i dont think uc's factor in legacys

[wide totem]

well i think my UCSC and UCR decisions came out around then too

[real rock]

ye true

[wide totem]

so would make sense

[serene nymph]

im just. amazing B)

[real rock]

legacy apparently (at least of some unis) dont really matter

my friend got like 3 generations of legacy (grandad, dad, sis) at duke

still got rejected lol

[gaunt oasis]

damn

[serene nymph]

😭 oh..

rip

[vestal plume]

i think it's more $$$ than legacy

[real rock]

(even tho his dad owns a bar at duke 💀 )

[real rock]

fair enough lol

kid has amazing stats, ECs essays as well

but duke just said no lol

[vestal plume]

they say half of harvard's class are legacies but i wonder what percentage of those legacies donated

[real rock]

but he got in unc tho lol

rivalry goes crazy

[real rock]

true

no i think only 1/3

of the harvard's class

[vestal plume]

oh that's slightly better

[gaunt oasis]

i wouldn’t go to an ivy league for undergrad but it would be so cool for grad school and/or postdoc

[serene nymph]

lol my dad said "shit we didn't donate to ucsb" when we started talking about ucsb cuz my mom and dad went there.. 💀

[gaunt oasis]

bc ik princeton has a plasma physics lab which just sounds awesome

[serene nymph]

it was funny 😭

[serene nymph]

oooo

i love princeton's music practice rooms

but i got rejected.

LOL

[gaunt oasis]

ucsb!!! my dream school!! im so anxious for the 21st

[serene nymph]

🥲 maybe for grad

[grizzled stirrup]

what is the point of legacy?

[grizzled stirrup]

just why?

[vestal plume]

wdym by point?

[grizzled stirrup]

why does it even exist

[serene nymph]

its nice there! 😭

[wet sandal]

bruh y did berkeley get rid of the declaring process for cs

[serene nymph]

pretty sure its to keep donations coming in

colleges are a business at the end of the day

[gaunt oasis]

FR i also visited ucsb and man it was just so gorgeous there

[serene nymph]

they need money

[grizzled stirrup]

oh

good point

[serene nymph]

the town was amazingggg

[grizzled stirrup]

then just give preference to anyone willing to donate lol

same thing

[gaunt oasis]

campus literslly right next to the coast its like a resort lol

[serene nymph]

the little science museum they had was cute 😭

[gaunt oasis]

immaculate vibes

[real rock]

for business ima go to dyson (cornell) if i get in tho :>

[serene nymph]

dairy bar.

[real rock]

cool program ngl (and i totally love being in the middle of nowhere)

[gaunt oasis]

oo nice

[real rock]

rip

[serene nymph]

bro my interviewer for cornell told me about how amazing the dairy bar is

[real rock]

u applied to northwestern? cara?

[serene nymph]

nah

[vestal plume]

i mean i think they kinda do

[gaunt oasis]

dumb question but when is ivy day, idk cause i didnt apply

last day of march?

[vestal plume]

i think it's march 30?

[serene nymph]

uc berkeley moved to ivy day pretty sure 💀

so. now its an "ivy"

[vestal plume]

fake ivy smh

[serene nymph]

💃

[real rock]

[serene nymph]

ya

but they dont send back a report

[real rock]

[real rock]

ik ik

i did dyson so no interview offered 🥲

[gaunt oasis]

my friend got a stanford interview i rlly hope he gets accepted, its his top choice

[serene nymph]

so i didnt really try 😭 i just kinda asked random questions

[regal grove]

its a public ivy

[vestal plume]

pretty much atp

[serene nymph]

people are saying it moved to the 30th

so. it might be fake ivy. LOL

[real rock]

nooooo

it could've been my birthday present 🥲

[serene nymph]

😭 nooooo

[real rock]

stanford is dope

in silicon valley

[grave lodge]

stanford has a pretty campus

[gaunt oasis]

yea and hes also a physics kid

and stanford has SLAC lab

ive toured SLAC lab its so cool i ❤️ their linear accelerator

[real rock]

damn

[vestal plume]

i drive over it a lot 😅

[real rock]

that is perfect

[serene nymph]

i didnt like stanford's campus

[grave lodge]

didnt apply there bc its a wee bit too close to home and ive been there a bit too much

[vestal plume]

since it goes under 280

[real rock]

hehe cali = good place to sell viet food

lots of viet

hehe

[vestal plume]

i applied but i feel this way too lol

[real rock]

i did my whole wake forest video about my restaurant lol

[gaunt oasis]

same im bay area and dont wanna go to any school thats relatively close by

[vestal plume]

half this server is bay area tbh

[serene nymph]

guys. if u get into stanford. and u wanna do archery. just know. they arent good 😭 i talked to the coach and even he was like "I wish i could pick my own team..."

it was sad

[gaunt oasis]

honestly yea probably

[serene nymph]

LOL

[vestal plume]

he can't pick his own team??

[serene nymph]

nah 😭

he cant

cuz of controversies with other colleges 💀 like the usc incident apparently

[vestal plume]

ohh

[serene nymph]

poor coach

[vestal plume]

varsity blues

that actually sucks lol

[real rock]

true

[serene nymph]

i was a competition once and i was next to the stanford kids 😭 they kept missing... so much.

ucd tmrw?

[regal grove]

how r u not scared for uci, ucsd, and ucsb

they are pretty selective

[real rock]

true

the others are less selective

la and berkeley are basically t20

[serene nymph]

ye
