is that they offer full ride scholarships especially if you get a top 20 plus a salary of like 4.5k$ 😭
no bro like fr im middle class
im not from dubaii
so im not insane
yeah and a whole other unis too
being able to afford UCs is like
BRO WHY U ON HERE THO
way better than middle class lol
i cant afford it
oo
if i show my parents the amount of money they ask for
they gonna kick my ass
its all thanks to the scholarship office here
did u get in?
💀
oh
ucsc needs to hurry up and drop
I KNOW BRO
3/15 speculated
imagine if they actually pull something lol
i have like 4 decisions coming out that day
mid week would go crazy
idrc about ucsc anyways
its fine ill just treat it like a sad april fools joke if i get rejected
inshallah
thus far i have not got a single acceptance so i really care about ucsc
I know a guy in Dubai doing A levels
oo nice
wait where r u from
aps are better for us
Finland
im currently studying ap bio but im procrastinating :(
ohhhh cool
bio 🤮
me but for bc, physics, and stats rn
yo whatsup pukki
AHHAHAH
I have tests for all 3 next week 😭
idk how UCs will treat my application cuz not a lot of ppl r gonna apply from finland
likely im the only one
anyone wanna read my essays and help me procrastinate lol
the sad thing about our schools is that they only offer aps at grade 12
i wish the admissions process wasn’t so miserable
and u can only choose 3 max
sure, but im not gonna claim to be a masterful writer
how can u take two math subjects
even tho ive written* millions of essays i dont think im the man for the job
we get to choose any class we want as long as we meet our grad requirements and met the prereqs for the class
i mean uc essays 🤣
uc essays were nice man
i mean both bc and stats are technically electives for me
at the end of the day some random grad student is gonna skim ur essay and then move on best not to stress about it this late
compared to the "why us"
i poured my heart into those
yay
LMFAO SAMEE
Our decisions are probably already made ❤️
ngl bro manifesting is a real thing
Where is Uc: Los Angeles
i wish usc wasn’t so expensive it seems like it would be so fun to go to
LOL
is this srs?
OH UC
Prob not lmao
Yes it is in chicago yes?
it’s university of california los angeles 😭
yeah uc is uchicago
No uchicago at los angeles
oh
scholarships 🙏
i always say U of C for chicago
i ain’t built like that
frrr
aggressively average applicant
university of spoiled children
i didn’t even fill out fafsa 😭
can rd people get scholarships anyways
ass financial aid
after visiting i didnt even apply lol
ONG
and yeah rd cant get merit
U SPITTIN
bruins all day
bruins > trojans
only if u have national merit
Speculation some people are saying 24th
i hope 17th
No one really knows at this point because the UCs don’t announce dates
it was 24th last year
either way within the next 2 weeks we’ll get hella decisions
17th
cuz if its 24th then it means that im spending another week procrastinating
true
my bad i was thinking berk
i’m so nervous for ucsb
but i was dumb and applied cs so i’m def getting rejected bro 💀
I’m thinking the 24th because Irvine didn’t release honors last Friday and they released it last year a week before decisions came out. Just speculating tho
noooo
if you need to cope over ucsb just rmbr that santa barbara is in the middle of nowhere relative to the rest of california
guys idk if itll help but i know someone who has a lot of connections to the ucs in general and i asked him and he said that irvine and san diego are verys oon so most prob 17th
i want ucsd on friday at least
truee
yeah but it’s gorgeous i can’t cope
and the perfect distance from home
ucsb > yale
its like 50 miles from la
its not bad
and its in a nice city
frrrrr bozos
we goint to ucsb
enjoy the snow
still liek..,
imma b at my beach dorm
IVE NEVER SEEN SNOW IN MY LIFE
you have to go through the land of ventura creatures
tahts a big national forest
dawg santa barbara is a super fun city
i wanna see snow man
come to finland
and if u ever need a good time for 45 bucks ur in ventura !!!
yea it feels isolated but its still a great location
i wanna build a fkn snowman
u guys lucky asf
maybe someday my town never had snow ever and it recently snowed here for the first time
i feel like ucsb bubble prolly crazy tho
bro fk snow
pls god make it snow in the middle east
i always rate campuses by the number of costcos near them
pls snow come to the uae
ucsd has a costco club
atleast u have it bro 😔
bro i’m in socal and it hailed a few weeks ago i was so hype
we had ice in the sky that’s basically snow
whats costco
a warehouse store
frfr counts as snow in my books
that sells food and stuff
onggg
very cheap
sounds fun
i have to watch out for non-halal stuff 
csu ventura
costco's rotisserie chicken is bad
take that back
😱 L take
they are famous for their 1.50 hot dog and drink
its so dry
bro idek what that is but sounds like a mid take
stop going for the breast
flip the bird over and go for dark meat
their chicken is so fat too
its in a puddle of juice you're supposed to dip it in
its like oily af
I mean yea but like still good
new name what u think birb
guys even tho im opening decisions with y'all
im gonna be class of
'28
:(
sorry for betraying y'all fr
why
gap year?
i have 1 year of mandatory military before uni
good luck bro
nice but i had to google montecito
i wish i could skip but we have to go like after hs
damn
that’s okay i had to google la jolla
im able to defer for educational reasons
one of my friends got into stanford early and was waitlisted davis
💀
makes me feel better about myself
NO WAY LMNFAOOOOOOOO
common stanford W
dead serious
davis so wack this year
he showed me his portal and his email
it was for LINGUISTICS too
not even engineering or comp sci
i got rejected ed1 and ed2 duke and uchicago but got into davis bio bro idek man
im fr doubting my worth as an applicant but we move
not sure how it works in your country but im able to get an exemption for undergrad education since my country would get extreme brain drain if they didnt allow ppl to defer military service
one of my coworkers got rejected from davis last year but got into UCI for bio so who knows
apps r random it's impossible to know why u don't get in
yeah i feel you we used to haev the same
but idk why they took that away like 3 years ago
I got waitlisted for cs but got in for cs at mich 😭
now u have to do it before undergrad
A kid at my school got into Stanford early but he got in for Jewish Studies 😭
ik man
at davis?
that sucks man
that’s crazy
yea
this is why ucsb > every other uc
Yea
davis L
ik someone who got into berkeley early as a cs major (classmate and friend) but got deferred at umich, cornell, and even usc
nah davis trippin
wonder if davis's acceptance rate went back to the 40s this year
i got wl ucd too
aint no fuckin way
I got rejected at UW but accepted at usc
UCs are 35-40K COA vs other oos public/private schools costing 50-80K COA 😭
they dont yield protect right?
Sadge
are they doing a lottery or smt
😭
how does one waitlist a stanford accept
LMAOOO
same 🤩
3%
they’re picking applicants based on their astrology sign or sum idk
Nah Biochem
whats uw?
oh
wisconsin?
University of Washington
oh
washington
u dub
i got into udub w/ 3k
I SWEAR BRO
washington sucks too much rain
washington is depressing
To be fair I don't think my uc essays were as strong as my common app 🤷♂️
also test-blind
uc essays are meant to be more direct than common app essays
Same I’m not getting into Ucs
my UC GPA is carrying me so hard
i even got a 100k scholarship in trinity u of toronto but got rejected and deferred elsewhere
how do u even find ur uc gpa
its so dumb
bad decision imo
calculate it
use a calculator
the way i found this out 3 days before the deadline so i stayed up until 12 am writing 4 new drafts from scratch on saturday
gpa is the only strong thing in my app
I'm too lazy for that lmao let me go see if my transcript has it
everything else is mid
everything you took from summer after 9th grade to summer after 11th grade
it aint even strong
it wont
sophomore + junior year grades, extra point for honors, with a maximum of 8 honors xtra points
yea i wrote mine all out on the last day bc family emergency 😭
more rigorous UCs consider the weighted but uncapped GPA
otherwise everybody has a 3.3-3.4 capped weighted GPA
I'm not gonna manually calculate my gpa whatever
How is uncapped calculated for the UCs?
fuck the sats
just count the number of As, Bs, Cs, Ds, Fs, and the number of honors courses you took
u mean a 4.3?
they dont care uncapped
WHAT
theres an online calculator it takes like 5 minutes
its fine anyways
yeah
yeah
max is 4.33
that’s the scary thing
capped
Yea
i heard berkeley considers uncapped
was too busy watching world cup aint got time for ucs
is “everyone has a 4.3” and i barely have 4.0
i have a 4.25 capped
i feel like no way im competitive everyone n their mom has a high ass gpa
Idk if ucs do this but normally they compare u to ur school cuz sometimes chools have grade inflation or it's easier to get a high gpa 🤷♂️
same
my weight uncapped was 4.17 and capped is 4.0
ANOTHER BAD THING. homeschooled. no school in their system to compare to. my school didn’t have ap or ib but they don’t know that
search up uc gpa calculator
this is why you need test scores
aps are honors
APs are honors
LMFAO
+1
check the UC A-g list for your school to see which are honors
theres a star next to all honors courses
ty
makes no sense why uc cap their gpa
it’s just to reduce statistical anomalies i don’t think they rly care abt the capped gpa
like if i didnt take ap cs i would have a 4.33 capped then
Yeah
frl
Capped gpas are flawed for choosing students
^
nah they care
too many students pushed into the top of capped gpa
ultimately 2 students might both have a 4.3, but ones uncapped would be 4.35 and the others uncapped might be 4.8 and obviously they’d pick the latter
Cal and UCLA look at uncapped
anyone pls help me
what about ucsd
what r u confused abt
They look
whats capped
it tells u ur gpa bro
we dont do weighted
berkeley engineering probably looks at uncapped but berkeley L&S probably looks at capped
so idk what this means
capped is maximum 8 honors courses
an "upper limit" on the number of honors courses that can be used to "boost" GPA
no 8
5 as in 5.0
it makes no sense
ok let me explain
ohhh
okay
28
wtf
even if i have 2 aps self study that arent counted in my transcripts
i cant put them right
count courses taken during summer before 10th grade and after 11th grade
you took 14 ap/honors in 10th and 11th?
school only offers 3 aps max and its during 12th grade
yeah
my school's honors courses might be different than what the ucs count as honors
u guys are genuises bro
no its just micah
you get an extra point in your GPA for all honors courses. UCs cap the amount of extra points they will consider in your gpa to 8, meaning all honors courses beyond those 8 will be considered on a 4.0 scale, and won’t give you the extra point @vestal turret
ohhhh okay
ty joey
i did die in 10th grade stacking AP bio and physics c
so if you take 10 honors you get credit for 8 of them, thats your weighted and capped gpa
and your weighted uncapped would be counting all 10
bro and i thought i was smart taking 2 extra self study aps on top of the 3 i have rn in 12th grade
my school only allows once science course
fuck you micah u smart asf
and unweighted would be counting 0 of them
my weighted and capped is 4.25 since i got a B in my honors english class
wth I can't even take physics c in 10th grade
good job
weighted and uncapped is 4.96 thoguh
what about uncapped
oh ok
I CANT EVEN TAKE ANY AP DURING 11TH LMFAOO
I think his school just crazy
i have like a 4.45 or smth
so is mine
its haram bro is on his grind leave him be 🗣️ ‼️
ive never held a woman's hand nor have i touched grass and i only have 3 measly aps on my transcript
also got two jobs rn
micah ur the main character bro
it ruins the fun when u flex
Wth
let me guess also a 1600 SAT and 36 ACT
how am i going against people who have 10+ aps
nope
😭
bro has a 1601 SAT
no 💀 below that
alright enough a2c for today
cuz micah
fun talking to u birb
i hope micah fails college
im jealous of him
💀
ill be out in 2026
i’ve never been so envious
micah i hope u go and complete military service rn
ik someone who has 3 aps but got into stanford ea
idk college apps are lik ea lottery
im done with life
prob did smt strange for some loose change cuz wtf
im doing basic training this summer or next summer
then AIT the summer after
then service once im done with my degree
i’d do something strange for some change if it meant stanford
yeah she got into stanford summer school and idd that probably played a huge part
common air force L tbh
a lot of kids do that
then theres the legacy system
I didn't even apply to stanford cuz there's no space for normal people from my school lmao
I meant like parent connections but 🤷♂️
LMFAO
My school is a stanford feeder for faculty
so like no space for normal people 🤷♂️
guys can someone help me rewrite a sentence real quick
💀

LMFAO
When does CSU Skid row come out?
Soon
Bruh ain't no way you're fr lmao
Dude got accepted into UCB honors homeless division 💀
he got muted lmao
I heard the acceptances for homeless division were rough this year
I guess he wasn't a part of the free speech movement at Berkeley, too bad
yea lmao
don't see anything in the portla
I don't see anythnig in the portal
maybe they sent it to the wrong dude lmao
awkward
UCSC playing games with people
unfortunate
They sent acceptances?
i dunno its been like 45+ min since I got the email and nothings been posted on my profile
hope for the best guyus
weird
Are u looking in the right place?
yeah
is it not the 20th?
no later than
makes sense
by the 20th
yeah
seems like others are getting their acceptances today
most likely rolling out by last name
with a portion today and the rest next Monday
so did anyone get their UCSC decision today?
i havent see anyone getting sc decisions yet
im guessing they’re coming out today since that person above got an email from ucsc today to check their portal, but they’re sending em out using this last name initial thing
my last name initial is W so i’ll just wait til after 5pm to check mine today, in case that’s how they’re doing it
most likely
No UCSC results are out today. The first ones should have been at 12:00 pm. I didn't see anybody reporting it then.
i'd be surprised if it came out before the 20th
UCs are swamped with apps, wouldn't be surprised if they waited as long as possible
Don’t get a 3 or a bunch of 4s you can literally drop like 8 points and you won’t get rescinded.
i dont think UCs rescind admissions offers based on ur IB exam scores tho? ik they rescind if u got a C or lower in senior year but i thought they only used IB exam scores for class placement
i mightve misinterpreted ur message tho
but either way, if i do get weak ib exam scores ill reach out to the UC that accepted me asap to give them context
UC rescind a C? what
yeah since all admissions offers are conditional/provisional, u need to maintain p good grades in ur senior year
i see
yea
ikr
they wont rescind u for a C
if all else fails, uc riverside here i come
bc if im being completely honest i feel like my uc app was weak and i couldve done better, im fully expecting rejection from the top UC's
oh damn rly?
ohh ok
then u got a problem
alr that takes some pressure off
Ucsc sent me this 🙂
why is davis rejecting so many people
Banana slug burger king crown
theyre too nice
oh yeah speaking of which did anyone hear back from ucsc today
More apps + overenrollment last year
what abt other UCs?
i got 2 friends that got rejected from davis rip, and one that got in
Ucla and Merced had less apps + need to accept more Californians
😍
Yeah I was surprised ucla was in company with Merced with less applications lol
ucla top tier
Ucla has less apps this year???
but it’s so hard to get in
wow that's surprising

They really are
ppl can still thrive at merced tho, i have a friend at merced who did an internship at Northrop Grumman (aerospace company) last summer
@tender elm did the other ucs send you anything cool like that when you got accepted?
nope
Someone posted they got a slug hat
i wanna get in sd too 
most schools don't send anything right
fire campus
is that a certificate
maybe something small
like stickers
or the burger king crown
best thing i've gotten so far has been a mug
Yeah it says “ucsc is honored to admit” and then my name + the e banana slug crown
Except rejection letters 😦
They love those
Damn 
💀
no stickers?
stickers are the best part
Unfortunately not
ucsd hella stingy
what about people who got in normally
i got the same packet as everyone else
its a large packet that unfolds with info ab the school
and a few printouts of the school
kinda like postcards
maybe they will change this year
They posted this on instagram
Same thing as last year
For the most part
It folds into a square
what about 3 Cs LMFAOOO
doubt
so they might rescind u for one d and rest are A and won't rescind u for all C
benz how did u distract yourself while waiting to hear back from colleges
i feel like im gonna implode from ruminating and overthinking
my senior course schedule is so weak lmfao 3 IB classes (math + english + french), american government, and 2 study halls
i mean its alright but ik others doing more than that
Most ppl who do ib are intl and it’s like their entire junior and senior year course load + their diploma so if you start failing they will rescind
I thought that was UCLA for a solid 5 minutes lmao
Especially if it’s a D in a A-G class.. ur technically breaking the original contract iirc
NO I AM NOT READY
I didn’t really distract myself tbh. Had a ton of anxiety throughout the whole process from start to finish
do not delay it any further
i should wear a heart rate monitor on friday
i didn't apply
i got wl by davis benz
Wtf
like u
what if I get like a C in an a-g
i think davis sent a lot of wl this year
That’s fine, bc it’s passing
Yea I think that’s the UCs strat moving forward
not ucsd please
did they over enroll
i think ucsd is probably gonna repeat what happened previous cycle
low acceptance rates but actually using the wl
well i think they learned form their mistakes
acc rates will stay the same imo or even jump up slightly
23% isnt that low
my older sister applied to ucsd as a fall 2020 freshman, got waitlisted, commited to csulb, got off the ucsd waitlist, then committed to ucsd
it is compared to what it previously was
she got off the waitlist on may 15 btw
gg
Ha
yea so dont lose all hope if u get wl, theres always that chance, just obv make sure to commit to another school while u wait to hear back from the school that wl'd you
Probably not. They learned their lesson when it comes to over enrollment
honestly i think maybe a2c has made me overestimate how tough it is to get in
basically got a full ride to davis i'm so happy
mind you i don't go to a bay school
34% to 23% acceptance rate
Wow
probably yea. idk my perception is all distorted bc immense anxiety
you can switch commits?
i'm mentally preparing myself for the worst
but maybe i'll be pleasantly surprised
wait do admitted wl people get added to the cds @tender elm
also I should probably have submitted my FAFSA lmao
you're intl lol no point
I'm oos but ye same deal
this is insane omfg
yeah, but when you take forfeit the SIR u submitted to another school, they dont give you a refund and you still need to pay the full SIR to the school that took u off their waitlist
Dang my older sister also had a similar waitlist story
u still get priority housing + fin aid and all that when u get off the waitlist, wl ppl get same opps as others
honestly the uc's did overenroll in the fall 2021 cycle and it was completely their fault
In 2021, she committed to UCSD, got off Berkeley’s waitlist luckily (even though they accepted a lot that year) then attended berk
Throwback to when I was an Aggie for a day
do yk how many people they admitted last year excluding the wl admits
I assume you only get a package from davis if you commit or is it before?
could have waited for ucsd
do you remember the time differences when uci ucsd and ucla came out
well the new cds would include wl admits anyways
like were there 2 hour intervals or smt
aggies 🥶
i want the raw acceptance rate
Something like that
we bouta get some cows
2 hour intervals
oooooo
so so so real
so it could go from like 3 pm to 7 pm?
my friend told me the dorm ill get is the closest one to the cows
where were u committed to before ucd
There’s no such thing
Syracuse
What happened?!
Got off the WL for ucsd
cuz if i get wl 💔
Damn this is a whole Benz AMA
every uc i applied to has pretty good lgbtq resources i'm happy
one of the few good things about california
right we have to be grateful
wonder what the opinions at ut schools is like
