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

because CS is a competitive major in general
60%?? 💀
is okay ik like ppl that got into Cal Tech today and got flat out rejected
cap
no
that's what i read lol
so the 60% includes people who got 2nd choice
what is this funnel design
nobody cares about people who got 2nd major lol
idk what y'all are talking about i can only imagine a literal funnel 😭
all the engineering majors r impacted
they threw offa lot of people
lol
yes
What’s the waitlist outlook for SC
admissions data funnel
the funnel design is bad
What’s the funnel design
they include all acceptances for a major
let's say you applied cs
and got into math
do yk double e acceptance rate
they count that as an acceptance
not sure
i only know cs
but general engineering acceptance rate is about 25-30 percent
my prediction with CS for 2027 is about 18- 19 percent for ucsc
because there are more applicants
so fingers crossed for class of 27
Do you guys know how likely a waitlist acceptance is for SC
its gonna be tight
Hmm
Uc stress>
but its really dependent on yield
Wait is waitlisted then accepted counted as part of acceptance rate?
every year has been a tossup
I’m completely humbled
hard
Time to wait for my UCR now
My safeties are doing safety things for me thank god
didnt u say u were humbled?
Did ucsc release regents
i think so
How competitive is it
where can u see if u got rejents
not sure
you'll know
why is time slowing down tf GIMME MY DECISIONS
i think it's random imo. A person who'se last name is U got a deicsion like today morning
I got mine like sometime before 2 and I'm M
it might be a good thing everyone ik who got their decision in the morning was rejects/waitlisted
For regents?
nah I dunno anyone who got in rejents just general admissions
Oh
someone posted on the server that they got in tho I think
I das talking bout regents
check #✨-celebration-station
omg congrats
I know a few people that got regents this morning I think it was a random batch
Lamo love this
Can you only get regents if you submitted the fafsa
my school required us to fill out the fasfa before the deadline to be able to graduate
I don’t know him
I know him
this guy is irrelevant
the biggest social event in UCSD since it's founding is a dude eating chicken
Too real
UC social death
what was the point even of that
socially dead to the outside world, but a nerd's paradise
absolutely based
yeah why did they eat chicken
another question is how he got so popular
ucla has a lot more crazy things going on and it only stays on IG, never moves to reddit
*except one where I saw UCLA frat get swatted for drugs
UCSC is popular on Reddit for their Mega-blunt on 4/20
😭
UCI is known for absolutely nothing
UCD gets rave reviews for college town and bikes
UCSB I see a ton of YT vids on partying when I search it, but little on reddit
Asian people
oh yah i forgot
I actually visited many UC campuses and it gives the vibe of boba toting asians
UCI that is
UCLA I saw countless tall people, like 1.5x the height of me. And ton of ppl coming back from parties. Sorta "USC" vibes but less intl students. And there is a deep divide between the partiers and the STEM people. I walked down to engineering and it was a whole diff world
Cal ppl give me a tryhard vibe. the type that walks down the pathway typing away on their laptop
or studiously studying in the library
also idk if it is an asian phenomenon, but everyone at UCI looks a lot younger than at UCLA.
how about ucsd
That’s not fun. I’m kinda short 😢
hmmm. it was sort of mixed, but also a great deal of STEM people. but extroverted people said they have approached people in the library to say "hi" and have been glared at and people get back to work
why did no one get in from ucsc 2nd wave 💀💀
i did
dw those are athletes im sure
a lot of whites right
ye
tons
ucsd/uci are by far the most east asian-y
followed by uc berkeley
good amount of asians too tho right
fairly so, but not as much as the others
and it depends where you are
if you are meaning the engineering area there seems to be a fair amount
i am if i get in
but they have colleges
so it should be mixed
wdym
for example, the comm majors go in one building, the engineering majors in another, etc
like warren, sixth
so you will rarely find a comm major in an engineering building, because they wouldn't take such courses
u can do any major in any college i thought
i am talking about ucsd rn
oh
oh were u talking about ucla
ucsd, if you want the most engineering college, pick Warren
afaik it is nearest to Engineering
i put that as first choice
but i put erc as 3rd 💀
i didnt know
do yk how 8th is
erc is reported to have more humanities ppl
no clue, but i saw some vids of 6th and it is fire
I think it def is the Asian age
wait where do u got to for college
cc
oh transferring this year?
yeah
also don't rule out ucsc, I went there and there were way less hippies than i thought
also the forest is chill
true
no
tf
your wave prob did
i’m coping
i js got in
major?
why did they send it like this??
ucsc is ass dw
comp sci
ucsc does not have a admission mgmt system
no offense to those who went
but like i thought it came out next week too
to ucsc
most ppl eventually get off
nah fuck this school
what’s the next uc that’s coming out? just sd on Friday?
ong
LOLLL
ye but if you're wl from ucsc that isn't a great sign
la sd and i
not rlly u did compsi and thats comp asf
oh shit ig I’ll be taking 4 Ls in a row that day
uiuc davis acceptance ucsc waitlist 🤨🤨🤨🤨
did u do compsi for all ur schools @lethal vine
no, some i did ds
i’m sorry i am coping so hard right now congrats to everyone who got in
berkeley i think i did ds
ce gang rise
nah just straight ce
damn
eecs too hard
what do u think ur targets are
dw about sc I know someone who got rejected but later got into la
i thought they were uci uc davis ucsb ucsd but
this ucsc waitlist is fucking me
yeah dw the uc system is weird. last yr from my school 10 people got sd but 40 got berk
are you instate?
yeah
there’s also the ELC backup then
class size 140 i think
ig that means merced but better than nothing
DANG 40/140?!
holy crap your school is cracked
it’s okay I didn’t even guess right at first lol
extremely nerdy
thought it’d be Lowell or Troy or smth
i would not last a milisecond at a competitive school
honestly yeah I hear a lot of that about the really competitive hs’s
my friend who goes to Troy says like 1/2 the kids are suicidal
like mfs already got whole ass research papers and thats like the bottom 25% of the class
danggg
yeah my friend there says the same thing
we have 30 vals this yr
💀
obv im not val but yeah
shits crazy
college ain't worth anything if you dead fr
30 1 minute speeches
we have those suicide phone number slip things
and those are gone by the end of the month
ngl they need to fix the california education system
rpi? 💀 💀
make it equal
no idea what that means sorry
apparently if u dont do troy tech it’s practically useless
all that stress and for what
ong
OH no Troy hs in Fullerton CA lol
Not Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
lol
honestly Friday’s gonna end in tears at my school
everyone in my class applied ucla and uci
for me everyone else js gonna flex on me
preparing to see half my insta feed be them flexing
ahhh okay i heard suicidal and figured it was rensselaer 😭
hahaha too many schools in the world making kids suicidal 😭
I don’t plan to open insta until Sunday lol 😭
I don’t think I could take it if I get 4 straight rejections
ugh
i just got waitlisted at ucsc
idk what that means anymore i literally got into uiuc for cs+x but ive got waitlisted from ucsc?
yeah dw about ucsc some of the decisions don’t make sense
i think berkeley is kind of vibrant but i’ve also only been there once to walk 15 minutes to my interview
i just want cal to work out 😖
each school is different 😭 its just about fit so dont worry about it
uiuc is better anyway, isn’t it?
in rankings
Berkeley is so beautiful tbh I really hope I get in
Like after that MIT rejection cal is my first choice 😭 but maybe I’m not theirs
cal is also instate for me 🤡
i rly like berkeley too tbh
instate tuition is hot 🥵
i thought it was a dump but i went there and it’s actually so nice
😒
ucsc yield protected probably? or do the ucs not yield protect?
They ‘don’t yield protect’ BUT
i dont think i know of anyone thats gotten into cal and not ucsc
you can be the first
i hope
cause tho i got davis, ucsc waitlist scared the shit out of me in case its any indicator of sb, sd or uci
congratulations 🎉
i got into davis too
ayy congrats!!
did u see that post on reddit about a berk student being robbed at gunpoint
did yall see the sonnet
that was cool
I would let myself be robbed at gunpoint any day for the chance to go to cal 😊
i agree
love the pettiness in me unfollowing every college on insta i get waitlisted/rejected from
SAME
Me deleting all the college tabs from my browser
burn the mail
i love in state tuition
the problem is getting in
don’t forgive but do forget 💆♀️
some community colleges here have programs that let you transfer directly to a UC if you have a certain gpa
yeah
lowkey
if things dont work out id love to do that
i have enough credits to transfer in one year
If things don’t work out I’m gonna need to go to school oos in Oklahoma 😭
Ooh that’s a pretty good idea actually in that case
don't yall got csu's man
ye but ucs >>>>
Got overconfident
not a smart move tbh
Yeah that too
i j got merit scholarship at my local csu and that is one hell of a safety
i know i'm gonna be okay
i got scared and applied to way too many
this is a generalization but if you like prestige it is true
I already got into a college ranked higher oos for free so that was my safety, but I think I might get homesick
ur right
slo is an incredibly viable option honestly
for me at least
So yeah maybe I should’ve done CSUs 😭
but lemme tell u
do you guys really think ucs are worth 280k for an int'l cs applicant like me?
Depends on the UC
davis?
if you can afford it (as in... really afford it)
if your family is baller enough to afford that why do you need a cs degree
bruh
anyways
Median income for Davis after ten years for ce grads is $76,300. Your call if you think that’s worth it
banana slugs are #cancelled
i have other options in the us where its coming up to like 150k w/ fin aid + merit, so is being in the bay area worth the additional 130k?
fucc slugs
davis is not really bay area
its an hour out
honestly I can't see myself going anywhere but davis
i'd say that price is only worth it if
- you get into UCLA or Berkeley for CS/EECS
- you can afford it... like, really really afford it.
like even if I get in berkeley I'm not sure I'd want to go over davis
what why?
Yeah I’d say the 150k one is probably more worth it imo
I've become addicted to davis
So it’s a personal preference thing?
like the campus is so nice, my family lives close by too
ye
Ah, fair
I don't have to pay for an apartment since family got a house like 20 minutes out, so we chilling if I go over there
no housing cost for the last 3 years
Yeah I think when a school makes you happy like that, prestige is less important
ye
In that case Davis > Berkeley makes sense since you should go where you’d be happiest
u say all the right things lol
I'm still going to visit all the ones I get into before I decide but I don't see anywhere else than Davis being likely or my best choice
thats smart
it's just hard to decide
i’ve visited la cal davis sc i and riverside
and davis and sc were def the prettiest
but la was like
Tbh I’m not the biggest fan of la
It’s nice but… idk just didn’t vibe with the campus personally
honestly ye, I'm looking at that one too and debating between that one and davis because UCLA seems nice
its super sunny
and really clean and nicely trimmed and maintained
honestly the reason I'm leaning towards davis over LA is because it seems much less stressful and more chill
the plants are taking over cal
Lol I think that’s why I like cal so much over la
that makes sense
La was too neat for me
I feel like if I went to cal or LA I'd be choosing prestige over happiness
Love the plants at cal
I heard they have a problem with crime too lol
that's another thing
ye
I mean you’re going to get crime in most large cities
v tru
But yeah something to be aware of
yeah
well I'm going to have to get in for that even to be the case lmao
no point in debating beforehand
exactly lol I’ll go to wherever takes me
but this ucsc sitch is making me confused and paranoid
honestly rn for me college decisions much less stressful because of davis
because I applied to safeties but they're ones I didn't like
always nice to have at least one acceptance to a school you like
so far my only acceptances have been oos but none of my in state schools have come out yet with their decisions, so… fingers crossed
when i have great schools in my own backyard
yeah I guess a lot of it comes down to cost
Cost is annoying ye
Davis is oos for me so the first year is gonna be bad but I'm going to switch instate after the first year
Yeah
but ig it’s california
Although prob around the same as some prestigious colleges
Like 70k is the tuition for Rice and case and shit plus board
At least with UCs after one year I'm eligible for residency
true
honestly this santa cruz thing wouldnt even bother me too much but now i have to go tell my parents
i hate giving them bad news
Tbh I’m lowkey kinda caught up over not getting ucb regents even though it was always a long shot anyway
Heck, even getting in is a long shot
But the scholarship would’ve been nice ‘cause I’m kinda broke
cal grant?
Don’t qualify. I’m broke, parents aren’t, but guess who’s not paying lol
good luck with that. uc website says that is pretty much impossible unless your parents move to ca
Undergraduates: If you’re a nonresident undergraduate student with nonresident parents, obtaining California residency for the purposes of tuition is extremely difficult (this includes transfer students from community colleges and other postsecondary institutions within California). Virtually all nonresident undergraduates with nonresident parents remain nonresidents for the duration of their undergraduate career at UC.
Berkeley does, if you are selected
la i don't think so typically
they pay for california tax since they work there so I might be eligible
They do through the portal
If you are waitlisted
Sorry
Should have specified
^
Happy 24k
i spotted the problem
seems like you know what you had to do
i got in uc davis OOS cs but my whole profile is business
but waitlisted davis
nah his uc apps were hella good
but he doesnt care abt the waitlist
one of my other friends got waitlisted for mech eng
4.6
I think it's just a CS issue 💀
my friend wrote about mech eng on one of his UC essays and UCSC doesn't even have a mech eng major
cs admissions are a nightmare this year
😭
ong
it's almost like it's every year
bro
hot take, i don't think it's 100% the issue of cs
ucsc like "cs majors need to be proficient in math"
like bro
i took multivariable and lin alg
like what more
yeah also the fact that CS majors can't write for the most part
At least in my experience
Or they have no life stories
also, not everyone is an a2cer if you catch my drift
people are applying to cs majors without being necessarily qualified for the university at all
or for the program
chill u will get into some great school like berk
bro that class was aids
i took that over summer at stanford
awful
pain
misery
which one
math 51
What comes out this Friday?
i did it while working a 40 hour work week
yo momma
what comes out friday is my suicide note
world's most waited release of 2023
WHICH SCHOOLS BRUH
l + no safeties?
UC socially dead UC loser association UC incest
LIKE BRO EVERYONE AT MY SCHOOL WAS WAITLISTED TO DAVIS
lol rip
get money man
fr
Start dropshipping
do you qualify for finaid or scholly
yeah
Start selling courses and being a online guru
still a lot regardless
bro only thing making me feel better
is every high stat kid at my school
got waitlisted for davis
and high stats for ucsc who did comp sci got waitlisted
i thought they were safeties man
😦
UCD not safety for no one
UCSC not safety for no one
UCSC not a safety esp if ur in cs
< 50% acc rate is never a safety
i considered scu a safety
UCSC CS is like less than 20
and UC i
Most likely
R they confirmed
i honestly believe that there's not that many olympiad winners/hackathon gods/usaco plats to go around tbh
Don't quote me on it tho
not confirmed
hm ok
thank you guys
you're right- they're all on a2c though
there are definitely people at ucsc cs who don't have those things
what's the davis cs acceptance rate?
hell there might be people at top cs programs who aren't "cracked" the way you guys think
ik lol
i don't think it comes down to the raw conclusion of cs is super duper competitive
because if that were true, everyone would be from the bay
Whatever ur looking at is wrong cuz this is straight from their website
everyone saying i should get into ucsd
but thats cap now
all cap
fuck cs
i love cs
so much
47 for UCSC overall last yeat
Cs is just a hard major
not a safety
sub 30 isnt safety
And ur in cs and since UCs admit by major it's lower
yeah true
Safety is above 60
not all uc's admit by major
asu it is then
Some people were talking earlier that apparently the number is inflated from some sort of funnel system but not sure exactly how it works 🤷♂️
I was also waitlisted lol
Why UCs gotta get so hard recently
SC does tho right
Yea def a lot harder 😭
sc is wack tho
they raised the difficulty level
Like I’ll take Pomona tbh good school
u really wanna go to UC smoke cannabis man
no
Also with ucs sometimes it’s just luck cuz they get so many apps
but im scared i wont get into other ucs
did you get into Davis?
bro only person ik who got into davis had a 4.07
he just said he was waitlisted
increased number of applications from test optional yadda yadda
rampant grade inflation in california
they should bring back the sat
Waitlisted at sc RIP
Need some objective measure
im 1/2/2 rn
Same 😭
10 more decisions
They have got to bring back SAT there’s just too much luck involved with these apps based solely off GPA and ECs when GPA in California is so fucking ridiculous
3/1/1/1, think I'll be 6/1/1/4 by the end of the week
I don’t know why I think my Uc gpa is over 4.5
Who u asking
Tragic
eversoda
What major?
my UC gpa or which
UC
Biochem
4.6 ish
Is it to accept/defer/waitlist/deny or what’s the order
Either that or it was bio
they compare to your school anyways
89.54% in ap lang first semester of junior year
Yeah that's the order
they do for UC gpa
Other wise schools where you can take a lot of aps would be boosted
bro relax ur being annoying rn
Bro the ucs r just kinda random u need some luck involved
Granted my piqs were ass and I know it
Same 😭😭
my piqs were p good
wear ur lucky pants on Friday
Did UCSC come out today?
So I’ll probably get rejected all around
Yea
I feel like I've been carried by my essays so far
I WILL WEAR SO MUCH GREEN ON FRIDAY
Gotcha, even rejections + WLs? Or are they still rolling
St Patrick's is tomorrow
I NEED THAT LUCK
do uc's yield protect?
I put no effort into mine
St patricks is always 17th tho
yeah I got yield protected from Harvard
Theoretically i think everything should be out
Literally same my common app essays were so much better than my uc ones 💀
honestly some ucs could but idk
I got yield protected from the Albuquerque institute of technology
there was a housing crisis thingy
other way around for me
so prob just lower acceptances overall
only school that noticable yields is probably Tulane
i’m just gonna wait til 5pm on friday to open all decisions tbh
i got someone to take my shift friday
i don’t wanna stress myself out more
not tryna work on decision day
💀
I thought I would get into ucsc I would have been so screwed
i would not consider 50% a safety 💀
fr
It changes based on the school
4.94 but 4.21 uc gpa
I mean u have usc lol
💀 wtf
i switched schools over summer going into junior year
bro touches no grass
I think he meant he would've been screwed without Usc
this is ridiculous waitlist
bro
who do they think they are god damn
i have 9 aps 4 honors
please be sure to look over this because the residency rules are strict. https://www.ucop.edu/residency/establishing-residency.html
grrrrrr
bruh wtf
i have 11 aps 7 honors
yield protect trust
perfect 4.0
ye ik
uiuc and davis admit
yeah schools def calc weird
how the fuck
I only have 4 APs lmao
I have 14 aps 7 honors and lower gpa than ppl here
1 AP submitted
i had 89.54% in ap lang first sem junior year
Bro there r just so many applicants nowadays it’s also some luck
Yeah like usc was kinda a shot in the dark
ruined my 4.0
a bucket in the darj
IB mfer
A swish in the dark
how do you even take 14 aps
not even ib
💀
wtf
I genuinely believe I am going to get rejected from all the ucs for the crappy piqs but that’s okay
are u int
no I'm from sd
wtf
Same but end of the day at least we have a great school already
I was waitlisted
Valedictorian at our school is at 16
ikr, my school maxes out at 6 😭
inb4 they only read your piqs
Plus some dual enrollment
u give me hope
my piqs were ass
💀
YESSIR
spent like 2 days on them
I’ll see you guys there
i really liked my piqs but idk how much they actually care
literally
our valedictorian got waitlisted at davis for cs
no shot berkeley or LA
but into stanford
I spent an hour💀
Again ucs r luck
bro they hate yo school
Partially
davis pulling some sus shit
it just took me that long since I was procrastinating while writing lmao
maybe he didn't express his inner desire to farm wheat and milk cows
I had to write them before I went on a trip
shouldve just stayed at bell
facts at this point I think it's like 80-90 % chance of usc
and not transferred
Bellermine?
yeah
I mean fuck, I wrote my Harvey Mudd essays and submitted them 2 minutes before I got on a plane 💀
bellarmine prep
word I know that place
I’m almost 100% sure regardless of where else I get in
but couldnt afford it
no way I get into any of my RD schools
I'm just waiting on stanny UCLA and rice
Out of those I think I applied to rice and ucla but I don’t really want to go to ucla and I know nothing about rice
So it’ll be fun
i applied to 15 schools
half were ucs
and they r screwing me over
uc merced it is then
Same, I’d prob go rice but not ucla over usc
top 9% useful for something
I live in Westwood so I’m not trying to go to ucla
what's westwood
uc merced class of 2027
Ucla is like 5 minutes from my house
Where ucla is
rn I'm just waiting on RD, but I'm almost guaranteed UC Davis
oh
gotta visit in april
my copium is that ucsc yield protected me
if I go to UCLA I'll be a tenant at your house
if you go to UCLA I'll rob you
da cope
these uc decisions have been really unpredictable huh
fr
i kinda wanna go to community now
Yea mine have def been unfortunate
i stoop lower and lower every day
bro having a existential crisis 💀
tbh all of mine have been predictable except uw madison 😭
I TOOK MAX CLASSES I COULD TAKE
it's over man.
WORKED SO MUCH FOR NOTHING
Off to the sweat shops.
i hate ucs
🤠 🕵️
Some perspective
true
half of the schools that are mentioned on a2c are way better than the avg college
i didnt work this hard to not get into at least ucd
truth
im not tryna end up with pot smokers tho
that my only motivation for going to a good school
😭
like tf are half these colleges
Bro there r prob tens of thousands of uc applicants who worked just as hard as you
"kent"
fucking masters university bro
ik
mhm
let me cope tho
I'm afraid you'll be sorely disappointed if u think that people at top unis don't smoke pot lol
damn
nahhh the spam emails from wooster annoy tf outta me
no fresh air anymore
one of my friends committed to a college just because they had an esports league lmao
wtf is wooster
yea
it's in the middle of nowhere
like bruh why go to college for esports out of all things
become ninja
😭😭😭 the mindset diff btwn a2c students and non a2c is wild
not that many mindset is inherently better
Any*
true, he got accepted to RIT and doesn't want to go there lmao
Ppl just have diff priorities
some priorities dumb as hell lmao
tf
❤️ 😍
NGUTWBGS CLASS OF 2027
SCC 27
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
san jose moment
ok wait a second
bell limits aps and honors
I'm about to do someth crazy
3 max for frosh and soph
gosh i love our city so much to do on nikhil reddy
so who all has come out so far
4 max for junior and senior
just merced and UCSC?
^
i got rejected from ucd but got into ucsc
oh i really love your pfp nacho
riverside is still rolling i think
surprised i even got that much tbh
oh
"University of Massachusetts Global" is apparently the lowest on USNews
wait no it's just unranked
santa clara all i got into so far
how are the cs placements for uc riverside?
Why is it a range 💀
couldn't find the budget to pay the rankers for 500 universties
had to start just guessing
where tf is Tyler lmaoo
there's a university called the university of the cumberlands
The cummies
Cummies '27
rejected '27
U Cum '27
waitlisted '27
U CUM 27:&$/$:$:
honestly for a 3.2 gpa i will take UCSC
lets invent a time machine
and apply back in 1990
WTF
im jealous
good job tho
thank u
congrats on getting in
yea tbh did not expect to be getting in at all lmfao
bro if I applied back in 1990 with my stats rn I would bet both of my testicles I'd get at least 5 ivies
congrats
thank u
honestly you could probably become locally recognized for being a genius with A2C level EC's back then
Cmu?
lets take a moment to realize how fucked the next generation is
UCUM
like if you had insane level EC's back then you'd become a local celebrity
bro they're fucked with the GPT-4 and shit
it's gon be a lottery
i mean college industrial complex might collapse by then tho
Ai is gonna destroy college admissions
facts it'll be overtaken by Udemy and Coursera
how many decisions does everyone have friday
6
i have 5 (most likely)
2
cal poly 2 wave
I'm glad I'm applying before AI gets good
1 tomorrow, I think 2 or 3 friday
tbf tho
ucla ucsd uci jhu pitzer
notre dame?
you can't gpt-4 a volunteer trip in Nicaragua
tomm I have HMC
it'll just be rich people only getting into unis
oh i have notre dame
you can just do essays tho
those volunteer trips never work in college apps
notre dame ez rejection
smell it a mile away
i lost all confidence in my academic abilities
yea but that wont matter if gpt gets super good and takes over everything
honestly I think education is gonna get overturned in like the next few years
it'll just be holisitic shit like ECs
so rich people will get all the slots either thru legacies or ecs
like education cannot exist how it is now with GPT-4
ucsb on tuesday just great
it's impossible for most of the english and history courses to continue
don't discount the impact its gonna have on cs too tho
and like law
CS majors gonna be out of a job
lawyers too lmao
I think 3?
true
