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

[odd yacht]

hmmmm

[rare carbon]

ucla is literally the number 1/2 public school, they definitely have not been yield protecting

i dont even understand the logic that could come to that conclusion

some crazy delulu

[tender elm]

[vestal plume]

does ucd actually yield protect 💀

[thorny path]

ucd is slightly more believable I guess

[vestal plume]

i thought none of the UCs did

[stray apex]

most rejects/wl i've seen are from cs

[dense flare]

https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/campuses-majors/ucla/freshman-admit-data.html is this the capped UC gpa or uncapped?

[red beacon]

the person who wrote this article literally has 0 qualifications

[thorny path]

bro he graduated from a t5

[vestal plume]

how does that give him qualifications lmao

[odd yacht]

uh i didn’t mean to start a debate if i was wrong my bad

[red beacon]

ok and that means he knows about this?

[vestal plume]

also t5 💀 💀

[thorny path]

guys

the joke -------->

                you

[dense flare]

lmaoooo

[regal grove]

He got banned 😡

[dense flare]

[regal grove]

For trolling

He told me

[dense flare]

Damn

[regal grove]

How dare you Benz

[dense flare]

For how long

[regal grove]

3 days

Next is perm appratenly

[dense flare]

Oh dang

[tender elm]

?

[regal grove]

Did you ban firestar

[tender elm]

i dont have perms

im not a mod

[regal grove]

Oh ok

[tender elm]

yet

[regal grove]

Never*

[odd yacht]

i c thanks for ur input

[vestal plume]

💀 damn

[quiet night]

bruh everyone out here claiming yield protection

[regal grove]

Public’s don’t yield protect

[hearty dagger]

Yeah I don’t think they’re allowed to

[regal grove]

But from what I heard ucd wl a lot of people this year

[hearty dagger]

Though they definitely do stuff that they aren’t allowed to

[vestal plume]

anecdotally yeah most of my friends were wled/rejected

[quiet night]

that's yield control apparently idk

[regal grove]

Tf is yield control

[quiet night]

you just said davis doesn't yield protect since it's public lmao

[vestal plume]

i tried to understand what the difference is but i don't get it still 😭

between yield protect/control

[quiet night]

who knows

[regal grove]

Just another variant of yield protection

[dense flare]

Idk lol

[quiet night]

I think someone in here earlier was saying it's illegal to yield protect or someth?? idk

here

[dense flare]

Who said they are following the law >:)

[regal grove]

From firestar

[dense flare]

I’m kidding

Kind of

[vestal plume]

yeah i know i read it

💀

[quiet night]

so basically it's just waitlisting but they used a fancy word lmao

[tender elm]

Each UC makes decisions independently

[hardy edge]

bro honestly its just about fit or sum

[vernal sail]

where it say its this fri?

[vestal plume]

💀

34.2+28.8+10.8=73.8% 🤓

[jagged wind]

no bc the "ucd is yield protecting" convo is making me think that i wont get into ucla or berkeley bc i got into davis 💀

[fresh karma]

i dont think davis yield protects

all my friends with hig hstats got in, except for those who did harder majors like engineering

[jagged wind]

yeah same here

the only ppl who didnt get in were low stats or cs-esque (idk what major specifically) applicants

[fresh karma]

^

[jagged wind]

someone in my school started saying that ucd yield protected him bc he was too good for them and was probably going to get into an ivy... as if he didnt apply for cs with mediocre ecs and essays like calm down

[fresh karma]

🗿

[jagged wind]

tad bit embarrassing for him

[fresh karma]

yeah... also davis has a 25% yield rate... i dont think they would be yield rejecting people if they have that low of a yield rate

[hardy edge]

same for my hs

[fresh karma]

my school in the last 2 years had an acceptance rate of 20-25% for berkeley

praying a lot

[hardy edge]

my hs's got a 50% acceptance rate for sd 🙏

ill actually have a breakdown if i get rejected

[fresh karma]

thats still pretty good

my schools' la is rly low even though were in la county 💀

and supposed to have that region boost

🗿

12%

o but the year before we had 15.5%

dang

[young shale]

For my school acceptance rate to uci is like almost 70%💀

It's like 60 smtn percent but closer to 70

[fresh karma]

our irvine is lower than berkeley

lmao

[young shale]

300 kids apply and like 200 get in

☠️☠️

WHAT HOWWW

Berk > Irvine

[fresh karma]

irvine is around 20% last year, berkeley was 22% last year

[young shale]

kinda sucks that they accept the same number of kids for each of the ucs every year

25 only for ucla 😭

45 for berk

naw dw u got this

cc here we come

[fresh karma]

my uc gpa is low cuz of how many courses i took 💀

well not rly low, but lower than what it should be

[young shale]

Fr that's stupid

[fresh karma]

so

i have 26 honors/aps from grades 10-11

semester system

so...

oh and college courses included in that

[young shale]

damn just from 2 years

[fresh karma]

actually let me double check rq

24 actually

not 26

[sharp orchid]

le me being an international cs major and still somehow getting in

🍿

dunno if they made a mistake or what, but Im all for it

[serene nymph]

u deserve it!

congrats bestieeee

[sharp orchid]

Thank you cara :D

[sterile saffron]

bro literally same

we dont get into davis, its a problem

we get in, its still somehow a problem 💀

[stray apex]

thats how i felt bruh

[calm atlas]

just chill ik some people get rejected by ucd and still accepted by berk last year

decision from ucd isn’t an indication

[vernal sail]

bro

[stray apex]

whats up

[vernal sail]

srsly you need to get off this site

这里啥用都没

除了贩卖焦虑

[stray apex]

bro im not even anxious

im chilli

n

[vernal sail]

kai I hope you are bruh

[stray apex]

bruh ucd is litwrally all i need

i have like .5 hope for berk

[static citrus]

bro issok ppl are just coping

this happens after every school releases decisions

[hearty dagger]

for my school 🙏 pls let me in ucla

[calm atlas]

I feel u bro

[serene nymph]

ucla accepted 14 from my school last year 💀

its gonna be brutal

[kindred crystal]

how many students get provost from UCD each year?

[hearty dagger]

How many applied though

[past wedge]

where do you see this?

[snow creek]

that convo was started by a bunch of insecure ppl who want to make themselves feel better in a toxic way abt their rejection

[vernal sail]

UC public dataset

https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/about-us/information-center/admissions-source-school

[hearty dagger]

Look up like ucla admissions source by school or something like that

[wise cypress]

i hate a2c brain sometimes

[snow creek]

they were saying that under qualified ppl got in so that they could give overqualified ppl spots at the reach UCs

[vernal sail]

thats why i got into davis

[snow creek]

when uc davis has a 33% acceptance rate apparently

[vernal sail]

😎

[past wedge]

thanks

[snow creek]

and it’s illegal for them to yield protect BY california law

so don’t listen to those ppl

[vernal sail]

honestly tho

at this point just chill

you did everything in your power

[hearty dagger]

It’s prob even lower acceptance rate this year cause of over enrollment last year + more applications

[vernal sail]

idk why im even in this server

[hardy edge]

literally

[snow creek]

yeah forreal

it made me so mad bc

someone was celebrating their acceptance

and some insecure person was like

omg…i had a 4.6 gpa 😡😡😡😡

only under qualified ppl got in 😡😡😡

it’s yield protect…my moms uncles dogs husbands wife told me 😡😡😡

[wise cypress]

show ECs show essays lol GPA isnt everything these people gotta know that

[snow creek]

unfortunately this is a2c

some people don’t realize that

[celest spoke]

Yield protection definitely exists but a UC, especially UCD, is not yield protecting. The process is holistic and people are jealous

[snow creek]

also someoke can have a lower gpa and could have done extraordinary things with the amount of resources they had compared to others who may have had more resources and higher gpa lmao

[vernal sail]

that is true

[snow creek]

yeah also it’s illegal for UCs to yield protect

[vernal sail]

honestly as a californian that kinda hate UC, i have to give it to them that they are really good at helping underprivileged people

[wise cypress]

this community also sets ridiculous standards for stats its kinda frustrating but thats just a personal cope

[snow creek]

yeah forreal

i’m happy with my gpa

bc at the end of the day i got to have a better mental health

[vernal sail]

compared to elite privates that have "legacy" which totally isn't supporting gentrification of the elite

[snow creek]

and did well on what i could handle

[celest spoke]

Ya, like if you were to tell me that a place like American or William and Mary was yield protecting that would check out. But UCs don’t yield protect

[vernal sail]

UC actively helps you if you are less fortunate

[regal grove]

people are calling it yield controlling

[snow creek]

it’s unfortunate that people try to burst the bubble of others by making such comments

[celest spoke]

What’s that?

[snow creek]

it’s not good to put others down to bring yourself up

[regal grove]

#1051231428429496420 message

[hearty dagger]

Fr I thought I was under achieving cause i see some people taking literally 18 aps

[snow creek]

i always like to celebrate with others about good things if they are happy even if things didn’t go my way

[celest spoke]

Ya I don’t believe that

[snow creek]

yeah bro a davis AO person is def on discord dming discord user firestarXD

LMAOOOOO

bro wrote that himself and then took a ss of it and cropped it out

[celest spoke]

Same I thought I had no chance at my dream school with my 6 APs (all of hs) and low rigor but here I am

[snow creek]

girl

i took 6 aps too

[celest spoke]

Slay

[snow creek]

and i’m proud of myself

idc if it’s not enough for a2c standards

[celest spoke]

Ya it’s a big accomplishment a2c just warps things

[wise cypress]

literally a school difference at that point like schools dont have the funding for that many classes

[snow creek]

congrats to everyone who made it to Davis though!

[hearty dagger]

I took 12 (non stem) aps and I thought it wasn’t enough cause of the mfs on chanceme and college results 💀

[snow creek]

you did great and you deserved it :)

[rare carbon]

real

[snow creek]

don’t let others tell you otherwise

[rare carbon]

the other day i searched up a random hs in the bay area

[celest spoke]

Damn

[rare carbon]

and then i looked at their site and their "cool summer opportunities for your child"

and it was like internship at the academy of sciences

and i was just like wtf

area matters like bruh these opportunities

[celest spoke]

Bay Area kids don’t scare me but that’s just cause in my field I’ve crushed them lately 😭

[snow creek]

i hate the bay area

it’s so toxic

[hearty dagger]

I completely agree. Ain’t no way people that’s parents have to work all the time can afford the same opportunities

[snow creek]

yeah forreal

and also if ur an immigrant

[static citrus]

as a bay area kid this is 100% true

[snow creek]

and ur parents have no idea about american college system

[static citrus]

like its so easy to get ur kid an internship and make their resume look good for college apps

[hearty dagger]

I go to pretty competitive public in LA and the majority of high achievers have tutors for multiple subjects 💀

[snow creek]

ur gonna have less resources compared to someone who has been here their whole life and their family for multiple generations

[rare carbon]

i got a 1480 on the sat which is literally like the second highest at my school 💀 and i dont even come from a bad area im pretty privileged but man its so different from area to area

[snow creek]

and i’m speaking for myself honestly rn bc

[celest spoke]

sounds like noho or elco and you people scare me

[snow creek]

up until late last year i didn’t even know u were supposed to pursue internships and stuff like that

[vernal sail]

please don't lump all bay area kids in one bundle... Not everyone here is the child of two SWE that makes 200k each yk

[hearty dagger]

El Camino?

[celest spoke]

Ya lol

[hearty dagger]

Nah it’s not those tho

[celest spoke]

Ah ok

[fresh karma]

same, but now theres tons of people who were forced by their parents to take AP classes who just cheat

its pretty dumb

[celest spoke]

Those are the only competitive publics in la I thought. Some might argue Taft but lowkey Taft is mid

[hearty dagger]

Oh no I thought you were referencing the community college lol

[celest spoke]

No

[hearty dagger]

Are you from LA?

[celest spoke]

Ya

Ok maybeee granada

Can be argued as competitive

[regal grove]

he didnt

[celest spoke]

Ok ya granada, elco, noho. Final answer

[hearty dagger]

Nah not any of thise

I can dm u

[snow creek]

Lmaoooo

it’s still bs

[celest spoke]

I’m not guessing your school I’m just saying those are the only tryhard la schools imo

But sure

[snow creek]

no wonder they left the server too

[hearty dagger]

Ahh

[regal grove]

got muted

for trolling

lol didnt leave

[snow creek]

they did it said no mutual servers

[hearty dagger]

Pv is also really try hard

[celest spoke]

Wth is PV

[snow creek]

btw is rhat ur bird

[regal grove]

yea

[regal torrent]

hot take you're not

[snow creek]

what kind of bird is it

[regal grove]

a parakeet

[snow creek]

that’s so cool

i heard some parakeets tall

talk*

[regal grove]

yea

some do

not mine

its very rare

[snow creek]

😭

wait are budgies and parakeets the same

[regal grove]

yep

budgies are informal names

[snow creek]

Bro why is that firestarXD person trying to add me

[hearty dagger]

Palos verses

[snow creek]

maybe they r in here

💀

[stray apex]

relatable

im also first gen college

[regal grove]

he wants to talk to you

accept him

[hearty dagger]

I just realized ur profile is a cat

[snow creek]

No

I do not want a2c drama

[hearty dagger]

I thought it was a moose with pink horns

[snow creek]

I don’t have anything against that person i just think what they said is rude

[regal torrent]

my explanation for the randomness is just the increasing reliance on vibe checking

[snow creek]

but that’s my opinion

🤷🏻‍♀️

people can have different feelings towards stuff

[snow creek]

😭😭😭 what else could it be

[hearty dagger]

A moose with pink horns

[regal torrent]

it's like
certain uc's like certain types of stuff, berkeley might like activists, ucla might like first gen

etc etc

[stray apex]

berkeley liking activists

a very likely statement

[regal torrent]

but really maybe it's just the 1099 workers who get paid $3 to read your app just not doing a very good job of it

[rare carbon]

do yall know if ucla or Berkeley tends to be more holistic/stats based

no way to know for sure

but seems like it generates discourse

[hearty dagger]

Also might be based on how competitive the major you applied is

Based on acceptance v enrollments for ucla and berk they’re clearly not accepting the same people

Usually one or the other

[regal torrent]

i think it comes down to little variance in stats + hiring random mfs to read apps

[hearty dagger]

Fr. My English teacher is a transfer ao

[snow creek]

yea idk what that person is trying to say to me tho

[hearty dagger]

I’ve heard that ucla cares a lot about if you seem like an actually good person and don’t come off as a douche

[regal grove]

hi 🙂

[snow creek]

do they forreal

hi

[round herald]

They have like 170k applying this year

[snow creek]

that’s a lot of good people to care abt

💀💀💀

what happens if they accept 170k ppl at once

[hearty dagger]

Idk that’s just what someone told me though I phrased it very poorly lmao

[hearty dagger]

We flood the campus and takeover

[snow creek]

Real

you’ll get in

don’t worry

i don’t know i’m not an admissions officer

but i’m sure you have a great profile

it’s not yield protecting

same shir

r u in state or out

it means the same tho

[dense flare]

What website is this?

Nvm

[regal grove]

uc davis

because it waitlisted a lot of people

[snow creek]

idk either way both r illegal

it’s bs

[dense flare]

Is there somewhere where I can find engineering major acceptance rates for ucla?

[snow creek]

bc it sounds like bs they literally put names into hats and draw it out

to ME it sounds like bs

[regal grove]

this is more bs than yield controlling 😂

[snow creek]

well u know i actually don’t mean the hat thing

it’s a lottery

that’s what i meant

that’s why i think it’s random

bc why would they put qualified ppl on a waitlist

[regal grove]

because they know they would not enroll

they would get into a better uc

[snow creek]

💀

idk

i don’t believe it

you guys can choose to believe other theories though

🤷🏻‍♀️

either way

my point was

it’s wrong to ruin someone’s bubble like that when they’re celebrating

[serene nymph]

uc's don't yield protect

[snow creek]

i felt rlly bad for that person

[serene nymph]

it's either u fit the school or not 😭

[regal grove]

of/c they would not admit to it lmao

[snow creek]

bc they asked if they’re not good enough for other ucs just bc they got accepted lmao

[regal grove]

tulane says they dont yield protect

do u believe them

[snow creek]

it’s ILLEGAL in california to yield protect

😭😭😭

[regal grove]

a university notorious for yield protecting. look at their rd rate compared to their ed rate

10% vs 70% rates

idk

just search up tulane cds

[serene nymph]

i think. if we constantly think of yield protection and yield control. 💀 its gonna make us think more and more about our rejections and waitlists. when we should just be accepting it and moving on...

[regal grove]

and u will see the difference

[dense flare]

How does UCLA engineering have numbers on 2022-2023 for acceptance rates?

If it didn’t come out yet

[regal grove]

last cycle

we are 2023-2024

cycle

[serene nymph]

😭 like its ok to be rejected and waitlisted. we're gonna get many more rejections and waitlists later in life so like. don't overthink this stuff and just be like "ok well next thing"

[snow creek]

what can i clarify for you

[snow creek]

yeah fr

we shouldn’t be putting others down for rejection or acceptance

[regal grove]

i felt sad with ucd waitlist.

[dense flare]

Hopefully it’s better then last years acceptance rate lmao

[snow creek]

lol we are all in the same boat

and should be there for each other

[serene nymph]

idek 😭 it really doesn't make sense as to why we are even thinking about yield control and stuff

[snow creek]

not being each other down

[regal grove]

wait where

[snow creek]

bc i thouhjt control and protect r the same

the uc davis board person we don’t know if it’s real

the ss from fire star

[serene nymph]

i mean 😭 waitlist isn't bad. i took it as "oh that means i still have a chance with other uc's and plus i still have a chance with davis!"

[snow creek]

i can make an account and pretend as well

to be an AO lol

it’s just very random

and i choose to not believe it bc it’s not from an official account

[regal grove]

but how tf did davis waitlist me? i expected to get in tbh. sorry if i sound pretentious here.

[serene nymph]

its just something we have to get over 😭 cuz tbh. its not the end of the world and we have to look towards our future. not just the school we're going to, but our career goals.

[snow creek]

idk bro i’m saying

[serene nymph]

it just means ur not a good fit for the school. and that could be their loss 😭 plenty of people who are qualified get rejected even.

[snow creek]

i really don’t want to fight abt this anymore honestly

[regal grove]

i just want ucsd lol

id be extremely happy with that

[snow creek]

you’ll get in bro

just manifest it

[rare carbon]

did u know if u get rejected u actually didnt get in

pro tip

[snow creek]

put good energy into the universe

[rare carbon]

real

only positive manifesting energy here

[snow creek]

fire star i know this is ur alt

[regal grove]

i religiously login to my portal to show interest and look for signs of portal astrology

[serene nymph]

yall are just overthinking this too much 💀 trust me. this isn't something to think about too much. like this "yield" stuff is honestly nonsense to think about 😭 its just making up excuses which isn't healthy tbh.

[snow creek]

Real

[rare carbon]

yeah recently found that out

[snow creek]

Keep manifesting i am doing so too

I hope you get in birb!

[serene nymph]

u can do it birb :)

[snow creek]

Birb got this

you all got this guys

we got this 😊

[rare carbon]

yes

[regal grove]

yeah u too!

[snow creek]

thanks

[rare carbon]

i believe in myswelf cause i literally did everything i could

[regal grove]

what uc u want the most

[rare carbon]

atp if i dont get into ucla their loss

[snow creek]

idk tbh

i want all of them the same

i jsut don’t want berkeley

😭

[bitter zephyr]

yes

[snow creek]

hbu

[bitter zephyr]

I hate Berk

screw Berk

[regal grove]

ucsd and ucla

[bitter zephyr]

all my homies hate UCB

😤

[snow creek]

I’m sure you had no ill intentions, sometimes with online it comes off that way since you can’t tell people’s tones

[bitter zephyr]

yeah that is a problem

[serene nymph]

ur good 😭 it just isnt healthy to try and find a reason why u were waitlisted or rejected. its just best to move on. people from this server are very competitive so sometimes. i gotta slap some sense into my friends on here 💀

[bitter zephyr]

I've had plenty of experiences like this

[snow creek]

you and ur bird will go to either of those schools 😁

[bitter zephyr]

true

[snow creek]

Yes i agree

[regal grove]

i changed my name now. i am increasing my rizz

[snow creek]

Real

[bitter zephyr]

ah so you want to simp for CSU La Jolla

why so?

[serene nymph]

like. i fr. gotta tell them to shut up 😭 being rejected or waitlisted says nothing about ur worth!

[snow creek]

It fr does not

[hearty dagger]

Brawl stats emore

[bitter zephyr]

why do you want to come to a CSU @regal grove

[snow creek]

schools look at u like a bag of money at the end of the day anyway

[bitter zephyr]

absolutely

[regal grove]

cuz the strong engi program, the location, and ik people who got to csu la jolla.

[bitter zephyr]

Khosla built our housing on the dreams of thousands of students

[regal grove]

and i love the library and the campus when i visited

[bitter zephyr]

Yay

someone wants to come to a CSU

finally

[snow creek]

Pranav

have u ever visited the nasty ass seals

[bitter zephyr]

yeah

[snow creek]

they smell like crap

[bitter zephyr]

why

[regal grove]

my parents want me to go to uiuc over ucsd tho lol

[bitter zephyr]

are you OOS?

[regal grove]

in state for ucsd

[bitter zephyr]

then why tf do you want to go to UIUC lol

[regal grove]

cuz its top 5 in ee

[snow creek]

bc for some reason a lot of ppl who go to csu la jolla have never visited the seals

[bitter zephyr]

UCSD is so much better, financially and physically

like we have 365 days of sun

[regal grove]

oh and i got a scholarship and honors program

[bitter zephyr]

it's warm

[bitter zephyr]

ah yeah that could be something

[bitter zephyr]

you really don't want to go close to them though

they are kinda aggressive

though some are hella chill

[snow creek]

yeah they are scary i bet

[bitter zephyr]

there's one seal though

[snow creek]

i just know they smell fuckinf awdul

[bitter zephyr]

it's an SIO secret

[hearty dagger]

Major?

[bitter zephyr]

but it's Harvey the Seal

[regal grove]

ee

[bitter zephyr]

Harvey usually hangs out near the Scripps pier and just chills out with the scientists at Scripps @snow creek

keep your distance though

but he's one of the friendlier seals

[ripe cypress]

Harvey specter?

[regal grove]

pranav do you know a junior named jessica? think her major is bio eng

[bitter zephyr]

he doesn't try to destroy our instruments as long as we feed him his tribute of fish

[bitter zephyr]

I think so

[snow creek]

do you work at scripps?

[bitter zephyr]

I've heard of her

[bitter zephyr]

I am a researcher yes

[snow creek]

that’s awesome

[regal grove]

for what? she is really tall

[bitter zephyr]

may have taken Fluid Mech with her

BioE and ChemE have to take the same fluid mech class

[hearty dagger]

Oh that’s prob why, engineering is tough for all schools lol

[bitter zephyr]

it kinda is

[regal grove]

only the veda05 the rat is

[snow creek]

yeah

[bitter zephyr]

@regal grove I hope you get into EE though

EE at UCSD is amazing

I have friends in EE

one of which was my former crush

[ripe cypress]

Which UC are u in pranav?

[bitter zephyr]

CSU La Jolla @ripe cypress

[regal grove]

i love uc slo

[bitter zephyr]

Hope you like CSU Isla Vista

[ripe cypress]

💀 didn't see

[bitter zephyr]

and CSU Suburbia

[ripe cypress]

Sorry

[bitter zephyr]

it's an inside joke

it's ok if you didn't get it at first @ripe cypress

[ripe cypress]

Ok

[bitter zephyr]

no you avoid that channel at all costs lol

[ripe cypress]

Fr

[rare carbon]

i stay in the uc channels

its fun here

[ripe cypress]

That's channels only useful If you want imposter syndrome

[bitter zephyr]

the high schoolers there make me feel like I'm doing absolutely nothing even in college lol

[regal grove]

dude some guy on reddit made a discord bot with 2.5M users and only got into cal.

he was aiming for mit

and was disappointed

[bitter zephyr]

I think you mean CALtech?

[ripe cypress]

"only got into cal"

[tender elm]

cal state

[ripe cypress]

Oh

💀 i thought Caltech

[regal grove]

berk

[bitter zephyr]

How does it feel like going to Cal State La Jolla?

[ripe cypress]

Berk is still so good tho

[tender elm]

love it

CSU LJ the best CSU

[bitter zephyr]

@tender elm change your name to CSU La Jolla

[regal grove]

wanted mit

[tender elm]

mmmkkk

again

[bitter zephyr]

yes

join us

@regal grove change your name to CSU La Jolla simp

[tender elm]

hahaha

ayyy

That's fire

[regal grove]

Pranav | CSU La Jolla '24

[bitter zephyr]

[regal grove]

now the 24

ayyy

[bitter zephyr]

fixed again

CSULJ ≥ SDSU

change my mind

I wonder if anyone here applied for the UC's here cause all I see is the CSU megathread

there's
CSU Nowhere(Merced)
CSU Hippietown(Santa Cruz)
CSU Cow Farm(Davis)
CSU Suburbia(Irvine)
CSU Isla Vista(Santa Barbara)
CSU La Jolla (San Diego)
CSU Westwood (LA)
CSU Hooverville(Berkeley)
CSU Desert(Riverside)

We should change this thread to the All CSU Megathread for 4/1

Anyone here object to my CSU names?

🤩

[ripe cypress]

No

[west sorrel]

Objection

[bitter zephyr]

👀

[west sorrel]

UCB should be CSU Hooverville

[bitter zephyr]

that works too

[west sorrel]

Cuz no housing

But that’s like most UCs 💀

[bitter zephyr]

that's kinda why I named it Skid Row

homeless people all over

[regal grove]

@bitter zephyr what does the ranking colleges on my ucsd portal do

cuz i think i just randomly ranked them

without researching

[bitter zephyr]

it just ranks your preferences of which college you want to go to when you get into UCSD

[regal grove]

so is it set

[bitter zephyr]

I assume so

[regal grove]

how is my ranking

[bitter zephyr]

Revelle is a hard college for Engineering but Muir is fine

Sixth/Muir/Warren/Seventh are good Engineering colleges cause they have more STEM GEs and easier writing sequences

[regal grove]

why did they get lazy and start naming them numbers lol

instead of actual names

[hardy edge]

theyre named after donors iirc

[west sorrel]

Benz is gonna kill when he sees that ERC is this high lamo

[bitter zephyr]

Revelle/Marshall/Roosevelt have more Humanities GEs so you'll probably spend more time finishing GE's and having harder writing sequences

[bitter zephyr]

I'd kill, myself lol

[regal grove]

what is ERC

and i randomly ranked it

[hardy edge]

sixth being 7th choice is crazy

[hardy edge]

lol

[regal grove]

i didnt think it mattered back then 😭

[bitter zephyr]

Revelle is named for our founder Roger Revelle
Muir is named after John Muir
Marshall is named after Thurgood Marshall
Warren is named after Earl Warren
ERC is named after Eleanor Roosevelt

[regal grove]

and i am still clueless about the different colleges

like is it that big of a deal

[bitter zephyr]

yeah it kinda is

[regal grove]

well can i change if i want

[bitter zephyr]

your college determines if you live in the latest high rises or in the mold pits known as Marshall Aparttments

[regal grove]

how is warren

can i get in

cuz u said warren is good

[bitter zephyr]

and it determines how your writing sequence is + how easy GE's are for you

[bitter zephyr]

Warren isn't terrible housing

[regal grove]

so sixth is best?

how is eight then

cuz its new

if i get into a bad college

should i not come

[bitter zephyr]

Sixth is great, Eighth is probably going to be better cause it's newer

[bitter zephyr]

Not really, you could be put in the newer high rises if there's not enough housing in your original college

[regal grove]

so how will i know what college i got put into

on decision day?

[bitter zephyr]

for example, Marshall students sometimes live in Sixth cause Marshall doesn't always have housing for everyone

[bitter zephyr]

yeah

[regal grove]

so now i have to stress about two things

my admission and my college

[bitter zephyr]

you'll know which college you get on decision day and where you get housing on the day you choose housing

[regal grove]

rank the engi colleges from worst to best then

[bitter zephyr]

worry more about admission

UCSD colleges are something you should stress about later

[bitter zephyr]

Sixth> Seventh/Muir > Warren

[regal grove]

this is stressful

[bitter zephyr]

I ranked Warren last cause it has the hardest writing sequence of the engineering colleges but it's still not terrible

[regal grove]

wdym by writing sequence

[bitter zephyr]

yeah every student on campus has to take a writing sequence on campus unless they transferred

it's super easy though

[regal grove]

oh so its a one time thing

[bitter zephyr]

yeah

[regal grove]

so my rankings basically mean i will likely get warren if i get in?

[bitter zephyr]

it's a one year thing that you take during your 1st year

[bitter zephyr]

yeah

either ERC or Warren

pray that you get Warren

[regal grove]

😭

what is bad about erc

[bitter zephyr]

actually no

you're more likely to get either Revelle or Muir the way you ranked your colleges

Muir is pretty good

[gaunt void]

Any UC coming this week??

[bitter zephyr]

idk

[west sorrel]

Prob SD and Irvine

[dense flare]

LA too

[regal grove]

and la

[red beacon]

what about mine @bitter zephyr bioengineering major

[bitter zephyr]

Muir being the top isn't that bad

[regal grove]

fuck mine is shit it seems

[bitter zephyr]

no it isn't

it's fine

your college really doesn't matter in the end

[regal grove]

well u said it determines if u live in high rises or mud pits

[bitter zephyr]

it just affects your GE requirements and writing sequence but that's it

[bitter zephyr]

well I'll tell you this

you will 99% get one of your top two choices

and the two you ranked are both high rise colleges

so you won't be living in a mud pit

[regal grove]

does eight house anyone rn

[bitter zephyr]

we're still building them

[west sorrel]

Only reason I didn’t put muir first is cuz I heard it smells like weed 24/7

Is that true lamo

[bitter zephyr]

No but the fire alarms are super sensitive so you may get evacuated at like 2 AM cause someone burnt their food lol

Muir was famous last year cause a drunk kid fell off his 7th floor balcony and unfortunately ended his life

[regal grove]

did u live on or off campus last year pranav

[bitter zephyr]

I lived on

[regal grove]

damn

[bitter zephyr]

that scenario was a mess though

[regal grove]

i might of asked this but can i change colleges

[bitter zephyr]

there were cops and paramedics at like 12 AM and the chancellor sent emails to everyone the next day

[bitter zephyr]

you can

it's a long process but you can

[regal grove]

before i get here

?

cuz if i get a mud pit college

i am changing

[bitter zephyr]

https://revelle.ucsd.edu/academics/tools-resources/ict-intercollege-transfer.html#Step-1:-Confirm-you-are-Eligibl

[bitter zephyr]

You won't

you'll get into either your #1 or #2 choice

you chose Revelle and Muir

they aren't the mud pit ones

ERC and Marshall are

and you ranked them pretty low

so don't worry

[regal grove]

i chose eight and warren

i put erc as 3 lmao

[bitter zephyr]

Yeah Eighth and Warren are the high rise colleges

you won't get the mudpits

[regal grove]

wdym by mudpits anyways

how bad r they

[bitter zephyr]

they're just old and narrow

not as roomy as the newer dorms

just dorms that are in need of refurbishment

[regal grove]

r they cheaper to live in then

and will eight be complete by fall 2023

[bitter zephyr]

yeah a little bit

[bitter zephyr]

that's the plan

that's why we let you guys apply this application season

[regal grove]

oh so eight might be the best then

[round herald]

It actually flooded when I was there for summer camp way back when

[regal grove]

cuz its new

[bitter zephyr]

yeah they're almost done

[round herald]

Water main broke

[bitter zephyr]

I passed through there on my way to Scripps

[regal grove]

are there elevators

[bitter zephyr]

yeah

[regal grove]

cuz u said seven floors on muir

[bitter zephyr]

the dorms are like 14 floors at 8th

New Sixth has 14 floors

I lived on the 14th floor my 2nd year

[regal grove]

do you know about 8th's ge and writing reqs

[bitter zephyr]

No

they'll release it during the summer or Fall 2023

[tender elm]

They’re just placeholders until someone comes in and donates $$$

[tender elm]

Oh yea

He fucked up

Oh shit

All the messages just loaded lmao

[vestal turret]

yo guys i gotta question

does getting accepted to lets say ucla or uci make u get waitlisted at berkeley?

like do they share their decisions or does each uc school do it independently

[tender elm]

All UC's make decisions independently. They do not share decisions w each other!!!

[vestal turret]

ty!

[lethal quarry]

anyone know what % of the early berkeley admits were for scholarship consideration?

so like not for dual degree or whatever

[steady lichen]

I read somewhere it’s like 50% could be totally wrong

[lethal quarry]

Dang ok

Can u send the source?

[quiet night]

Is this good for bio

[grizzled stirrup]

@tender elm had strong views for Revelle

[tender elm]

Revelle sucks

But since ur a bio major, it’s not as bad

[cyan moon]

How is my rankings (cs major)

san diego

[gaunt void]

what is the best college for CE?? In UCSD

[tender elm]

Fine

[tender elm]

The colleges aren’t based on majors

Ucsd says that “No single college is better than any other.”

[calm atlas]

except erc

[dim grail]

Mine was a lot different than this man.
I might be in trouble now 🙁

[cyan moon]

its fine everyone likes different colleges

[calm atlas]

yeah shiver me timbers ur cooked, it's over 😔

[dim grail]

So how do we actually decide it?
I took help from my teacher

[calm atlas]

there's websites that compare each college

There was a spreadsheet floating around somewhere too

[cyan moon]

yea

thats what i used

[vestal plume]

same

i did notice that all the people i know irl who were rejected/waitlisted with good stats applied under bio/engineering though

[vestal turret]

same lmao

[jagged wind]

yeah and that makes sense since ik a lot of ppl apply to davis for those majors and they’re generally rly competitive

[vestal turret]

guys i got in for undeclared life sciences

does that make specifying a major hard?

or is it an easy process

[west sorrel]

Same major 🖐️

College of biological sciences?

[pallid ermine]

[thorny path]

basic bitch ranking here

[late zinc]

how my ranking? general bio and microbio

[vestal turret]

yup

[quiet night]

yoooo davis bio gang

[west sorrel]

Bio pals!

Are u guys pre med?

[quiet night]

ye 100%

[vestal turret]

yo wsgg

[vestal turret]

im not sure tbh but most probably

[round herald]

I’m just now realizing I should’ve consulted you on the college ranking but I did it months ago 😭

[regal grove]

do u agree with this tho lol

[tender elm]

To a certain extent

[regal grove]

rate my rankings then

i just did it randomly

cuz i didnt know anything back then

[vestal plume]

💀

[regal grove]

why does ucsd expect me to know this stuff

i ranked 6th too low and erc too high

[hearty dagger]

I found some random list on Reddit for ucsd college rankings

[regal torrent]

bro why y'all posting your rankings lol the deadline to change it was months ago

[quiet night]

so that we know if we should go to UCSD or not lmao

[serene nymph]

my dad said: its ok if you don't get into davis because it smells there
💀

love my dad LOL

[quiet night]

honestly Davis is like the india version of college

cows everywhere, agriculture, in the middle of nowhere, lots of Asians lmao

I'm going there for nostalgia

[serene nymph]

noiceeeee

[past wedge]

lmao

[serene nymph]

im sitting here. happy with my riverside acceptance.

i love riverside

i have. fallen in love LOL

[quiet night]

make sure not to fall into the river tho

[serene nymph]

😭

ill be looking for the river...

only to be disappointed LOL

[quiet night]

is there no river

[regal grove]

cuz i just realized how important it was lmao

i didnt even know what it was back when i applied

[sterile horizon]

If I just edited my fafsa for Davis, when would I get my finical package report from Davis?

[quiet night]

what is the best bio college for UCSD

[sterile horizon]

I initially forgot to add Davis so I just edited and added on Friday

[round herald]

He ain’t wrong 💀

[pale kraken]

Has the UCLA date been confirmed or nah

[dense flare]

I don’t think they confirm

They just release it I believe

Whenever they want

[vague ridge]

has all UCSC decisions come out yet? or are they still rolling?

[warm burrow]

rolling i'm pretty sure

wait no

they sent an email about it

[vague ridge]

how about davis? I have a friend who hasnt heard from either yet

[warm burrow]

by march 20th or something

davis released all on Fri

[vague ridge]

thats what I thought...

[warm burrow]

have ur firend contact them

[tender elm]

ERC #3 is crazy

revelle is pretty high too

[tender elm]

yea fr

i gave this advice months ago

[quiet night]

what would be the best premed one

because I thought revelle was the best

[tender elm]

for premed, yea revelle

[quiet night]

oh then I made the right choice lmao

[tender elm]

but revelle still sucks

in so many OTHER ways

[quiet night]

wdym

[tender elm]

one of the worst writing sequences
furthest college from campus
foreign lang req

[quiet night]

writing sequences?

[tender elm]

oldest college too

yea

[quiet night]

also I'm fine with foreign lang since I want to take one anyways

[tender elm]

all colleges require writing

[quiet night]

like a writing course?

[tender elm]

its a four class sequence

ur gonna hate it, but its doable

its about history and writing

[quiet night]

how are the dorms

[tender elm]

old

[quiet night]

hm

that's a downside

[tender elm]

its the first ucsd college

http://compare.ucsd.edu/

[quiet night]

if only I had known about this comparer lmao

[tender elm]

idk why we're all worrying about ucsd's college rankings in march lmao

its not like you really have a choice

[quiet night]

ig people are deciding if they should go to UCSD based on the college

[tender elm]

yea ik, but u should only start worrying ab it once u get your college assignment

[quiet night]

ye

[gilded rain]

saw the interior of sixth dorms on yt

that shit looks so nice

clean and minimalistic 🥵

[vagrant briar]

I did mine based on how I alr line up

I forgot exactly which atp

But idt they lined up as well

Bc I have courses down for my major already

So it makes sense to go for a college that cares abt those courses

[tender elm]

You should see the new Eight college

It’s a different breed

[dense flare]

Everyone is talking about ucsd dorms. I just wanna get into UCSD lmao 😭

[dense flare]

That’s fire

[quiet night]

damn that's nice

[quiet night]

do you have any pictures of the inside of the revelle ones?

[quiet night]

yo you're a construction worker?

[dense flare]

Does any UCSD student know if surrounding San Diego high schools feed into UCSD?

Like do they prefer them

[tender elm]

i do not

[tender elm]

there are a few san diego feeders

[dense flare]

That’s cool

[tender elm]

like there are 3 ppl in my suite who came from the same Poway HS

[dense flare]

Oh cool

Gives me some hope

[quiet night]

honestly idk at davis if I should chose Tercero or Cuarto

because ik that Cuarto has suites but the area around Tercero seems so nice

[tender elm]

u should binge watch some of this guy's videos

https://www.youtube.com/@craving2create/videos

his videos on UCD are really informative

he actually dropped out and started working at UCD too

[vagrant briar]

Which

I wonder if ik it

Was it just plain poway hs

[tender elm]

Rancho Bernardo

[vagrant briar]

Oh yeah ik that one

Blink 182 went there

[rocky thunder]

my brother basically did this for me

he graduated a couple years ago

should be fine yeah

[west sorrel]

Why not segundo

[quiet night]

idk, I've seen some videos and I honestly prefer Tercero since it's newer

like Segundo is older I think

[stray apex]

Im a cuarto guy

the suites looks too good

[west sorrel]

But it’s closer to the gym and math buildings and such i think

By gym I mean REC center

[quiet night]

honestly I gotta look more into cuarto

I know it's a bit further, but idk much about if the surrounding area is nice

[stray apex]

when i saw the cuarto suites

im like this is for me

LMAO

[quiet night]

like the reason I like Tercero is because the outdoors is nice and it's close to a bunch of stuff like the ARC I think

[stray apex]

i can't imagine sharing bathrooms

[quiet night]

like this shit is fire

[west sorrel]

Oh yeah are you guys going for single double or triple rooms lol

[quiet night]

the dorms are a bit small tho ngl

[quiet night]

there are singles?

honestly idk

triple feels like too many people for a cramped dorm

double seems right, but single might be nice for the privacy

[west sorrel]

Yes for extra 4K/year

[quiet night]

ah damn nvm no point

[stray apex]

wait

can u pick which residence hall uwant

i thought its assigned

randomly

[quiet night]

triple looks too crowded

[quiet night]

I think you pick

[stray apex]

it would be good if i can pick

[quiet night]

I think you submit an application

https://housing.ucdavis.edu/how-to-apply/residence-halls/

[stray apex]

can u pick between suite and normal rooms then

🤔

oh but it says room assignment tho

Refer to Room Choices when selecting residence hall preferences in the Housing Application

nvm

goated

[young shale]

How r u guys gonna choose roommates 😭

that's honestly the most scary part

[quiet night]

honestly the best plan is to do a friend speedrun

[tender elm]

its too soon for roomates

[quiet night]

go up to a random person and ask them to be friends, easy enough

then you become roommates

[tender elm]

give it a month or 2

[tender elm]

oh no

yea u can

i applied

but got a triple

[quiet night]

honestly I gotta change as a person when I go to college

gotta be overconfident, it's like largely pretend honestly

[tender elm]

easier said than done

[quiet night]

true, although model UN has given me some practice lmao

[stray apex]

wait technically if i apllyu for triple suite

that means i have high chance right

cuz triple ain't demanded

[quiet night]

been switching between extroverted and introverted on command past couple of years

[stray apex]

as much as double or single

🤔

[tender elm]

do you actually want a triple?

[stray apex]

i want a suite

[quiet night]

triple might be bad

oh yeah unless you have a suite

that's fire

[stray apex]

im even fine with quad

cuz i get a living room

apparently

for suite

[quiet night]

honestly idk if I care about a suite too much

since I don't want to sit in my dorm all day

having a small dorm will force me to go out and touch grass

[tender elm]

i mean wha

all of them are suites technically

its either res hall or apartment

the shared floor itself is called the suite

the individual rooms are the dorms/apartments

[quiet night]

I think the only advantage may be a private bathroom but idk

[tender elm]

u dont have privacy

its all communal

[quiet night]

*more privacy

[tender elm]

ehh debatable

[quiet night]

not for suites at Cuarto, it's shared between roommates and no one else

[tender elm]

its 4 stalls vs 2

[tender elm]

yea, thats still communal

[quiet night]

ig

[tender elm]

thats how it works at all UCs

[snow creek]

nah cuz it prob does smell like cow poop

[young shale]

when do the ucs have spring break

[quiet night]

spring

[tender elm]

"technically" we dont

we have finals week...
1 week grace period
and then a week later spring quarter begins

[young shale]

ohhh

whens the 1 week grace period

[wet sandal]

it doesnt

[grizzled stirrup]

Next UC decision not until Friday right?

[wet sandal]

i have been there its actually quite nice

[vestal plume]

lol they're just joking

whenever people visit uc davis they sweep all the streets and corral the cows so it looks clean

[quiet night]

all videos of UC Davis don't show the cows roaming free

the real conspiracy is that UC Davis turns students into cows throughout 4 years and then imprisons them

[gilded rain]

😭 should have put 8th higher on my rankings

[tender elm]

Naw it’s ok

You guys are gonna be the Guinea pigs

For 8th college

[eager violet]

yay!

[gilded rain]

i mean i put 6th at #1, so it’s fine

ge requirements for 8th still haven’t been fully announced right?

[tender elm]

good choice
