[quiet night]

honestly surgery might be the only protected profession for now

[rotund socket]

friday

[calm atlas]

friday most likely

[quiet night]

because the gov not gonna let Ai done surgery just yet

[violet hemlock]

more soju and costco tequila, less beer

[quiet night]

it'll take another like 50 years maybe for that to happen

[charred smelt]

i think patient-facing medicine and top law will still be clear

for quite a while

[tender elm]

Haha

[quiet night]

100%

[calm atlas]

when i befriend a cow at uc davis

[charred smelt]

top programmers will still have a job too

[quiet night]

lawmakers are slow to these things so it'll be legalized once we've made our money

it's not legal rn tho

[charred smelt]

lets be real tho

[quiet night]

we gotta make our money and bail

[charred smelt]

theres gonna be some kind of populist backlash against this stuff

[rotund socket]

bro

[charred smelt]

wouldnt be surprised if we see big time regs on automation

[rotund socket]

im becoming walter white

screw ucs

[quiet night]

100%, although it's almost impossible to regulate

[rotund socket]

imma be heisenburg

[quiet night]

it's like trying to prevent internet piracy

people are going to use AI regardless

[charred smelt]

blue meth

[charred smelt]

that's true

[quiet night]

it's just going to be less overt

[charred smelt]

what are you going into post grad?

[quiet night]

jobs will slowly disappear, but the professions will take a while to erode

[round herald]

Guys I’m actually denying ucla before I get rejected

[quiet night]

med school then doctor/researcher

trying to get an MDPhD

[calm atlas]

I'm going into ai

[charred smelt]

neat

was about to ask lol

[quiet night]

nice

I gotta learn AI

[charred smelt]

uh oh

[quiet night]

I've made a neural net before using java, although idk how to use tensorflow yet

[quiet night]

gotta pick up skills like these to become successful in the future

[calm atlas]

😭 bro

[limber magnet]

chatgpt kinda based

[quiet night]

bro is down bad for the robotussy

[calm atlas]

[rotund socket]

fr

i hate my life

[regal torrent]

BASED CHATGPT

[limber magnet]

💀

[serene nymph]

😭 pls

[rotund socket]

rejection from colleges a

and love life

smh

[regal torrent]

chatgpt gives a more coherent and applicable answer than fucking all of y'all

[quiet night]

honestly what scares me is that people replace their friends with AI and it becomes extremely charismatic

[limber magnet]

😱

[stoic violet]

anyone get into technology info mgmt at santa cruz

[rotund socket]

i am not mentally stable rn

[quiet night]

like imagine being less likeable than an AI

[rotund socket]

😦

[quiet night]

that's a bit scary to think about

[rotund socket]

my life be like

[calm atlas]

my life be like oooh ahhhh ooooh ahhhh my life be like

[quiet night]

bro soon enough university is gonna be dissolved and all of us are going to be trained like chatgpt 💀

[limber magnet]

Ehhhhhhhhh..... clearly not for me

[rotund socket]

not for me anymore

[tender elm]

Rip

[calm atlas]

bruh

[wise cypress]

Maybe for an A2C frequent lmfao

[rotund socket]

nah it is

if u not a cs major

[wise cypress]

I got waitlisted from a non CS but I have a pretty low GPA

[limber magnet]

I mean i got into schools better than ucsc but they waitlisted me

[charred smelt]

wut gpa

[limber magnet]

ucs r just kinda random imo

[rotund socket]

SAME

[calm atlas]

I got into UCSC but not ca

Cs

[wise cypress]

3.5 uw 3.8W idk my UC GPA

[rotund socket]

ucsc waitlisted everyone and their mothers for cs

[wise cypress]

Covid year fucked me

[charred smelt]

you got a good shot at UCSC then

i had a 3.2 and i got in

for stem non cs

[wise cypress]

Yeah hopefully man lol

[charred smelt]

where else u apply?

[round herald]

I applied stem non cs and got waitlisted 😭

[wise cypress]

I’ve got into Pomona SJSU and Chico waiting for Poly and SDSU

[charred smelt]

damn

neat

yea ig UCs seem to just be very random

[round herald]

Sadge

Yeah they really are

But congrats

[serene nymph]

tbh 💀 i think uc's are really considering essays and extracurriculars this year and not as much weight on gpa's

[charred smelt]

ty ty

[round herald]

UCSC is dope no pun intended

[charred smelt]

honestly i think

they shouldn't have cut sat

[quiet night]

my essays are trash so idk if they're focusing on essays as much lmao

[rotund socket]

My essays and ecs r pretty good

But some of my ecs r niche

[serene nymph]

ppl who are basically. top at my school got. rejected from all the uc's that came out so far LOL

[limber magnet]

Yea I mean i think thats a common opinion on a2c prob cuz everyone has good sat scores 💀

[charred smelt]

tell me abt it

[rotund socket]

I did act

Not sat

[serene nymph]

😭 so. i think it's definitely fit+essays+extracurriculars

not so much just gpa

💃

[charred smelt]

eh same shit different day

they should've accepted the act too

[round herald]

It’s super random now that they cut test scores

[regal torrent]

imo it's random because they hire random ass mfs to read apps

[charred smelt]

that or super rich people with the money to do volunteering in nigeria get in

[regal torrent]

teachers, counselors, alumni, anybody

[charred smelt]

and ppl without a solid 'holistic' application just get shafted

and dont have a test they can excell on to pad their app

[charred smelt]

i thought they had a adcom

[rotund socket]

Ucsc yield protection

It's my copium

[flat harbor]

i'm in a rich area and the kid next to me keeps talking about how he teaches ukranian refugees english on the weekends....

[charred smelt]

see

[flat harbor]

he didn't get into sc for all that's worth

[charred smelt]

oh

i mean

[limber magnet]

💀

[charred smelt]

just rationalizing here

[regal torrent]

lol do you think they wanna pay a team of ao's to read 200000 apps a year
nah

[wise cypress]

Should’ve done more volunteer hours they love that stuff. I know some guy average gpa but thousands of volunteer hours got into Davis

[charred smelt]

but ig u dont have to be rich to do that

[charred smelt]

u kno very fair

[rotund socket]

I did a couple hundred

[charred smelt]

but with all the money they get they can afford it

[limber magnet]

thousands??

[rotund socket]

But I worked for thousands of hours

[wise cypress]

Like a thousand over 4 years of high school I think

[charred smelt]

doable

i have thousands of hours on counter strike

so definitely doable

[limber magnet]

oh ok not plural thousands

[charred smelt]

lol

[limber magnet]

I think the highest in our school was ~900

[wise cypress]

Idk exactly but it could be

[charred smelt]

are yall in state or oos

[calm atlas]

I had around a 1000

[wise cypress]

People got like teacher connections go do an hour a day or 2

[limber magnet]

in state

[wise cypress]

In state

[calm atlas]

In state

[flat harbor]

probably since that internationa* kid had a school rep coming to their area or something

[lethal vine]

any idea what time ucsd and uci come out?

[charred smelt]

interesting

[flat harbor]

i don't remember what country it was mb

reading too much kite runner

[charred smelt]

SD was the 21st iirc

no idea about uci

[vestal plume]

sb is 21st

[calm atlas]

^

[vestal plume]

uci/ucsd are speculated to come out this friday

no clue on time though

[calm atlas]

if they don't come out I will play Russian roulette

[charred smelt]

ah

[quiet night]

they're gonna make an LLM to review applications lmao

AObot

[wet sandal]

not for cs

[robust laurel]

i keep trying to think of bets to stake on college decisions 💀

[calm atlas]

chronic betting

Alr y'all I applied to 20 schools over or under I'll get into 12 of them

[wet sandal]

nah

[robust laurel]

omg i applied to 21... estimating 60-70% rejection

[rotund socket]

who needs college?

[wet sandal]

UCs r random

[vestal plume]

same to 21

[robust laurel]

already have mit under my rejection belt

[vestal plume]

estimating 50-60% rejections 🫠

[robust laurel]

fingers crossed the acceptances are ur favored schools!!

[vestal plume]

thank you- you too!

[vivid vortex]

I applied to 17 estimating 80% rejection

[calm atlas]

If I get less than 50% rejection imma be a happy cat

[robust laurel]

shotgunning blues

[round herald]

I applied to like 30 estimating roughly 95% rejection

[calm atlas]

im sure they account for the impact of your hours as well

[vivid vortex]

Bro if I get literally ONE RD acceptance I’ll be happy

ONEEEEE

that’s all I need

[calm atlas]

safeties?

[vivid vortex]

I applied 2 safeties EA got both but they’re expensive as hell

[calm atlas]

we got you

[robust laurel]

ive been pacing around the house just thinking over and over "please give me one on march 30th. one"

[vivid vortex]

About to me ong

[calm atlas]

I only applied to one on march 30th 💀

prolly should've done more but o well

always rmbr you can do community college -> transfer into UC

Yeah scc guarantees a spot at an ivy

[robust laurel]

sleep well on thursday then 😭 idk how to show my face at school on friday

[calm atlas]

why would ppl care

[robust laurel]

people at my school uh

they do!

[rotund socket]

I've accepted my fate

[limber magnet]

Bro just distract urself with something else and wait

Results at one uc don't reflect results at all of them

[calm atlas]

oh noes

[rotund socket]

😃 🔫

[dusky pollen]

Tulane yield protects??? 😭 oh shit, I got in 💀

It’ll be over for me on Friday lol

[regal grove]

yea

they are ed heavy

did u show a lot of interest?

[dusky pollen]

okay wait maybe I shouldn’t have phrased it like that but lowkey I’m a bit worried about the strength of my app now

No I did RD

did the optional essays though, but that was my only demonstrated interest

[regal grove]

well congrats anyways

[tired oar]

do u think its worth it for csu > transfer into UC or ?

just cc

[regal grove]

only 400 spots were given in the rd round

[calm atlas]

idk

[dusky pollen]

oh really? didn’t know that, dang

[calm atlas]

im just hoping to get into engineering at one of the top UCs

only applied to 5

[tired oar]

gl

[hardy edge]

ive given up after my davis rejection fr

[wise cypress]

If I wanted to transfer I would probably just CC but honestly I get it because I wanna get out of town pretty badly rn

[calm atlas]

CC you save like 60K

[dusky pollen]

oh woah

[wise cypress]

Yeah exactly idk what to do rn

I might just go state for the long run

[dusky pollen]

hm if I get rejected everywhere Friday at least that’ll be a win for their overall yield lmao

Tulane predicting my college future 😭

[calm atlas]

Rd for Tulane is like 1% 💀

[rotund socket]

I gave up after ucsc and ucd waitlist

[calm atlas]

bro gave up on the first leg of the race

[rotund socket]

Yes

[dusky pollen]

it’s okay there’s still the rest of the month

[primal meteor]

Did anyone get the UC Berkeley email?

[dusky pollen]

No 😭

[rotund socket]

Which ones

Which one*

[primal meteor]

💀💀

[rotund socket]

Oh yeah

I just got it

[dusky pollen]

I didn’t get it??? 💀

[rotund socket]

Screw berkeley

[regal grove]

no

[rotund socket]

These mfers sending this just to reject me

[dusky pollen]

Wait it just appeared rn lmao

[primal meteor]

“We recently sent you information about choosing a First Year Pathway if you are admitted to UC Berkeley.”

[rotund socket]

UNDERLINE IF

If

If

[fading raptor]

berkeley loves spiking my blood pressure

[rotund socket]

If

If

If

If

[dusky pollen]

I was just about to copy/paste the exact same quote lmao

[rotund socket]

Why not a since

[dusky pollen]

When does cal come out anyway?

[rotund socket]

30th

Ivy day

[dusky pollen]

End of the month will also be a bloodbath 😭

[rotund socket]

ONG

[dusky pollen]

Boutta get slapped with like 10 rejections in a row

[limber magnet]

Me when i didn't get an email 😳

[rotund socket]

I love scu

They accepted me

For comp sci

[lament oxide]

lmfao they know what they're doing

[rotund socket]

I love scu

Ong

[dusky pollen]

Lowkey this is gonna sound so bad

[rotund socket]

Berkeley admissions office r full of trolls

[dusky pollen]

But I wish UCs considered legacy status

[willow nymph]

Do we think this means anything

[dusky pollen]

Only because it benefits me lmao

[rotund socket]

Honestly

Yeah

It benefits me too

My mom and gma went to ucla

[regal grove]

legacy is the dumbest thing

[rotund socket]

It isn't if it benefits u

[dusky pollen]

It is unless you benefit from it and then you like it

[regal grove]

yea

[dusky pollen]

I agree because I don’t 😭

[fading raptor]

Most normal A2C mindset

[regal grove]

well it doesnt so it can fuck itself

[rotund socket]

A2C is bad for my mental health

But im addicted

[calm atlas]

i aint even get it lol

[sly sluice]

did anyone else just get a uc berkeley email? is this a good sign? or generic spam

[wet sandal]

the dumbest things in college apps: 1. legacy, 2. something i can't say on here, 3. test optional

[regal grove]

just got it

[dusky pollen]

Generic spam

[sly sluice]

damn 😔

[dusky pollen]

2 💀

[calm atlas]

yea

this

but UCs avoid that

[remote saddle]

they want me frfr (im gaslighting myself)

[calm atlas]

so they're my only hope

[dusky pollen]

Wasn’t there a lawsuit against them for that or smth?

Wait maybe I shouldn’t talk about that

Nvm

[calm atlas]

berkeley engineering got me down bad

[wise sable]

this doesn’t mean anything right

[regal grove]

this button exists guys

[dusky pollen]

I’d hit it except I’m paranoid that they’d be able to see it and auto reject

[wet sandal]

case western vibes

[sly sluice]

anyone wanna read my PIQs and tell me if i’m fucked 😭

[rotund socket]

Berkeley is cruel

[dusky pollen]

I’ll do it if you read mine lol

[rotund socket]

Someone read mine

[wet sandal]

i heard UCs barely read ur piqs

[sly sluice]

SLAYYYYY DM me 🙂

[wet sandal]

they skim over it bc they have limited time

[sly sluice]

i’ve heard the opposite

[rotund socket]

My stanford friend helped me with em but idk if they are actually good

[hollow laurel]

UCs really need to chill on emails that scare the shit out of me to say absolutely nothing

[rotund socket]

Only if what they initially read doesn't catch their eye

[calm atlas]

oh i might have done that

[limber magnet]

The UCLA "you belong here one" was cruel

[rotund socket]

That's why u learn what hooks are in English class

[rotund socket]

Bro my friend got nyu on April 1st. That's gonna be mire cruel "congrats your accept.... sike u thought"

[crimson elbow]

berkeley and ucla are trying to get me to implode 😀😆

[rotund socket]

True I mean just like eye catching stuff

I used hooks originally but my friend told me to remove em

[rotund socket]

Honestly

It's better than the schools releasing on April 1st

[wet sandal]

seeing the financial aid will be more cruel

[rotund socket]

Releasing on April fools day is straight up cruel

[rotund socket]

His household income is 700k

But his parents won't pay for his college

So he gets 0 aid

And 0 support from his parents

He has to pay entirely from his own pocket

[wet sandal]

wow

bruh if i made 700k a year i wouldnt worry ab how much my kid needs for college i would j pay it

[rotund socket]

Fr

[dusky pollen]

Danggg what kinda job gets you 700k a year?

[wet sandal]

loads of them

if you have a high position in a big company you can make close to that moment

[grand bloom]

I got ucsc 8k scholarship

is there anything higher?

[wet sandal]

congrats

[regal grove]

the max was 5k i thought

for regents

[wet sandal]

some might be need based

[regal grove]

2000 per year

max is 5000 per year

[calm atlas]

he can declare financially indpeendent

if he isnt financially dependent on them for stuff, he shouldnt be listed as a dependent on taxes

[calm atlas]

probably just owning numerous businesses or a senior position in a high CoL area

berkelely is lowkey toxic

[dusky pollen]

Dang maybe I should’ve gone into business instead

[calm atlas]

for sending that email rn

[calm atlas]

no

like couldnt they just send the email to their admitted students

[vivid shell]

Anyone get an email about ucb?

[calm atlas]

get some years of working experience, get your MBA

[calm atlas]

yeah

lowkey toxic

they shouldve sent it to admitted students

not everyone

[vivid shell]

Yea litr 😭

[calm atlas]

working experience + MBA is very valuable compared to just majoring in business during college with little professional job experience

[dusky pollen]

I was joking earlier about the business but that’s legitimately good advice, I’ll keep that in mind, thanks

[cinder sun]

Yes

[calm atlas]

yea fs, admissions are much easier for grad school compared to undergrad as well

and honestly grad school is a much better investment than undergrad

reminder to go touch grass

[calm atlas]

frrrr

[dusky pollen]

Thank you 😭

[pallid ermine]

ucla cs or purdue engineering bois

[calm atlas]

whichever is cheaper

and wherever you'd rather settle in

[rotund socket]

And whatever u get into

Cs this year is

😃 🔫

[calm atlas]

https://www.opp.purdue.edu/Employers/Active-Employer-List
https://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/top-recruiting-firms-at-ucla/

choose based on who you'd rather work for as well

if it were me id choose UCLA bc in state tuition, i dont want to live in indiana, and id rather work for defense company

[pallid ermine]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[calm atlas]

hahahahaha butt construction poopoopeepee hahahaha

[dusky pollen]

I say ucla for the same reasons

[calm atlas]

yeah

[pallid ermine]

Nah see

im international

f

[calm atlas]

ucla also is more wellknown TBH

[serene nymph]

me who just wants to go there for the food...

💀

[stray apex]

i did not recognize cara til now

after u changed ur pfp

gg

[pallid ermine]

hello bois

[calm atlas]

yea UCLA food is banging

[pallid ermine]

UCSD cs or PUrdue Eng

[serene nymph]

my friend sent me a cat pfp 💀 so i used it LOL

[dusky pollen]

Tbh I can’t see Purdue without thinking of the Purdue global Spotify ads so that might also play into it lol

[stray apex]

lol

[pallid ermine]

this is more valid qn i think

[serene nymph]

yes. exactly. food being the only reason is extremely valid B)

[calm atlas]

i snuck into the berkeley dining hall

crossroads

it sucked ASSSSS

[pallid ermine]

berkeley = romania

[calm atlas]

obviously

[pallid ermine]

wtf going on in berkeley bro

[calm atlas]

what can u expect

[pallid ermine]

f

[calm atlas]

its berkeley

[calm atlas]

something edible

[feral idol]

has ucsc regents come out

[pallid ermine]

lower your expectations

[calm atlas]

lmaoooo my friends there say the dorms look like prisons

[remote saddle]

wait how hard is it to transfer into the bachelor of arts degree for computer science at uc berkeley

[calm atlas]

i eat almost anything

[calm atlas]

p hard

they're patching up loopholes afaik

3.7 avg in the CS weedouts for now

[remote saddle]

like if u applied for mol bio but now want to do cs

[calm atlas]

you have to prove you "discovered" CS after applying as a L&S major

[calm atlas]

yeah cuz its lowkey too much of a hack

[remote saddle]

oh how does that work

[calm atlas]

and some colleges

are just capping majors

so people are unable to transfer into them

Berkeley food

which is another way to stop loopholes

[remote saddle]

i thought its like in other colleges where ur major is just ur indicated interest

but ig not

[calm atlas]

remove it plz its nasty

[gilded scroll]

UCSD

[calm atlas]

true

[remote saddle]

oh so whats like the gpa u need to successfully transfer?

[calm atlas]

i waited 20 minutes in line for that

[calm atlas]

afaik 3.7 in like

CS61

im not a CS person so

[remote saddle]

ah i see

welp

[dusky pollen]

Hm maybe I don’t want to go to Berkeley after all

[calm atlas]

school lunch looks better than that

[dusky pollen]

I think my strategy to deal with rejections is just look at dining hall food

[calm atlas]

UCLA has amazing food though

[whole musk]

my strategy is to just look at the numbers

[dusky pollen]

Ucla had a guy come talk to my hs about how great the dining hall food is

[whole musk]

of applications and admits

[calm atlas]

looks sm better

[warm burrow]

how do you check??

[calm atlas]

so you are basing your knowledge on the college based on the acceptance rate?

[calm atlas]

see: northeastern

lol

hey i got northeastern

mid school in my books

yeah but ik what u mean the quality is mid

and spensy

rlly mid

they arent giving me a penny and the education is overrated

= i dont want them back

sounds ab right

just look at top recruiters for you major from each college you can reasonably afford and choose based on those as well as where you'd rather settle

bc most ppl settle in/around where they went to college

[serene nymph]

it looks delicious. i would cry if i got to eat this daily 😭

[rotund socket]

Same

Altho I'm not getting in

[jade fossil]

Mid.

[serene nymph]

i hope. i only get into ucla :) so that this food would be my only option <3 i dont care about other schools anymore cuz of the food. ||joking but LOL||

[rotund socket]

Going 0/5 friday

[whole musk]

if i get rejected i'll just tell myself that

[rotund socket]

Ucsc waitlist destroyed all my confidencd

[pallid ermine]

UCD

waitlist

[rotund socket]

Same

[limber magnet]

Nah don't worry about it

[pallid ermine]

imma be 0-4 on friday

[rotund socket]

UCD waitlisted everyone

[west badger]

fr

[pallid ermine]

UCI UCLA UCSD and JHU

[limber magnet]

I got waitlisted both, which wasn't what i was looking for but i got in better schools already so its kinda just random

[calm atlas]

oh i got JHU too

x/4

[pallid ermine]

what

[calm atlas]

thats true

[limber magnet]

this plus purdue apparently

[calm atlas]

good chance tbh

[pallid ermine]

i had stronk reading that

[calm atlas]

80% waitlist ppl are admitted

[pallid ermine]

what does this mean f

[west badger]

wait what is UCD yield rate

[wise cypress]

Yeah but remember waitlist admissions vary greatly by the year

[rotund socket]

Anyone wanna read my piqs

[west badger]

like how many people who get in go

[calm atlas]

true

[calm atlas]

they know that u will get into a better school so why waste time on admitting you

thats what it means

its like a form of yield protection

but idk if ucs do that

[regal grove]

it varies by year

[calm atlas]

even if they say they dont do yield protection

they probably do

cuz the college system is definetly curropt and shady

they also say they dont consider uncapped weighted GPA lol

[rotund socket]

No school will say they do yield protection

Cuz it's not a good look for the school

Shows that they don't value themselves

[calm atlas]

dont put ur piqs on the internet

[wise cypress]

Academia is a scam I’m afraid

[jagged wind]

can uc berkeley stop sending click bait emails 😭 i don’t CARE ab pathways i just wanna know if i’m accepted or not

[calm atlas]

always has been

[rotund socket]

this gives me hope

[stiff scaffold]

I didn't?

[twin silo]

hey whats the image you posted in the uc chat from?

[rotund socket]

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

[twin silo]

thank you

this gives me a bit of hope

[rotund socket]

yeah

hopefully ucsc was just a fluke

my friend got ucsc with game design and a 4.0 weighted

[calm atlas]

Crazy

[regal grove]

how do u see mean gpa

for ur high school

[regal grove]

i see now thx

so what does each mean then

[rotund socket]

applied gpa

[regal grove]

the average app gpa

[rotund socket]

admitted gpa

enrolled gpa

[regal grove]

is it capped

or uncapped

[rotund socket]

idk

my capped is still 4.48

[regal grove]

capped is max 4.33

[rotund socket]

isnt capped 8 aps or honors

max

[regal grove]

yea

[rotund socket]

does each semester count as 1

or each year

[regal grove]

each semester counts as 1

[rotund socket]

for an ap or honor class

oh

ok

i thought it was each year

[regal grove]

nah

so is that data capped or uncapped

cuz if it is capped

[rotund socket]

then i would assume its capped then

[regal grove]

nooooo

[rotund socket]

my capped should still be around 4.3-4.33

idk for sure tho

my capped is 4.32

[regal grove]

i have a 4.25 capped

[rotund socket]

still good chances

[stray apex]

it only calculate from 10-11th right

[regal grove]

no

[regal torrent]

we cap off at 4.36 over here actually

[regal grove]

the data i sent is from ucsb

[rotund socket]

yee

[regal grove]

it gets worse after

[regal torrent]

the cap is always 4.3ish

[regal grove]

4.33 is max gpa

[regal grove]

how

[stray apex]

i feel like those calculate website r inaccurate

but im too lazy to hand calculate

[rotund socket]

11 classes

i have 11 classes

cuz i had to take pe junior year

cuz bell only requires 1 year

but my other school required 2

and pe doesnt count towards ur gpa

or at least i would assume so considering u cant report ur grades for that on the application

[regal grove]

i have 12 ap/honor classes

6 * 2 = 12

[rotund socket]

yeah but max is 8

i have 6 for 10-11

2 for frosh

5 for senior

[regal torrent]

lemme run the numbers and show you

[rotund socket]

2 a year

5 a year

it 4.36 if u had 11 classes

instead of 12

11 would be if u took pe

[stray apex]

is the adm gpa by weighted or capped

[rotund socket]

capped

feels way too low otherwise

actually idk

cuz i saw some schools with 4.4

[limber magnet]

interesting

[regal grove]

this is my school

idt i will get in now

sad

[stray apex]

me neither

gg

[serene nymph]

😭 yall

stop looking at stats

ur gonna stress urself out for no reason

[regal grove]

@tender elm is the data capped or uncapped

[regal grove]

someone sent the link

its their fault

[cyan moon]

what does each column mean

[regal torrent]

this data is capped because it never goes above 4.4

[serene nymph]

💀 pls-

[calm atlas]

do the uc schools compare your gpa to the stats of other applicants from your school (ucla and ucsd)?

[cyan moon]

the 3 gpas which one is what

[limber magnet]

i haven't calculated my uc gpa and am too lazy to so no clue if the stats r good or bad lol

[limber magnet]

prob

[tender elm]

Huh

[regal grove]

@cyan moon

[regal grove]

the data in the link

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

[serene nymph]

😭 just stop looking guys. like. all this speculation stuff is just gonna make u even more nervous.

[cyan moon]

oh thx

[regal grove]

is the gpa capped or uncapped

[regal grove]

i need to know now

[tender elm]

Capped

Duh

[regal grove]

i am in too deep

[cyan moon]

4.33 for ucsb is crazy

wow

[tender elm]

It’s the UC Gpa

[regal grove]

ikr

[calm atlas]

how do u see this

nvm

just saw

[stray apex]

cap cut off is at 4.4 right

[tender elm]

Naviance

If ur school has that

[calm atlas]

15 ppl from my school got into cal last year

and 11 for ucla

dayum

[rotund socket]

same

im top 20 in my school

but idk if i will be in those 11

hopefully

i need

[stray apex]

my friend has higher cap than me even though they take less ap/honor

ig 2 bs really messed me up

[regal grove]

wait the data is just the avg gpa right

[regal grove]

sameee

i also have 2bs

if i did not take apcs

i would be fine

why am i being punished for being more tryhard

[rotund socket]

yeah

[tired oar]

what website is that

[rare carbon]

yall you are not punished for taking more classes

[regal torrent]

let g_max equal the maximum weighted and capped gpa
and n equal the number of a-g semesters used in calculation

for us we have 6 periods a day except all sophs take pe which isn't a-g which means n=22 and thus g_max = 4.36

[limber magnet]

seems like 25-35 get into cal from my school

[rare carbon]

i got into cal poly cs + sjsu cs with a capped of 4.13 and completely uncapped 4.8

[regal grove]

wtf did u pull out a whole equation

[regal torrent]

i just tapped it out in desmos rq

[rare carbon]

and theres impaction criteria for sjsu so i know for a fact they arent looking at capped

its just for eligibility

[regal torrent]

it assumes that you take all weighted, and get straight a's

resulting in the highest possible capped wgpa

[regal grove]

explain this then

[stray apex]

i think its in accurate uz it doesn't ask what class u get Bs in

[regal torrent]

schools offering more classes have lower capped wgpa

[calm atlas]

Yeah we have 32 semesters worth of classes so our max capped is 4.25

[regal grove]

wdym

maybe i miscalculated my gpa then

[regal torrent]

well like
the maximum capped wgpa gets lower the more periods/semesters you take

as a matter of fact my capped gpa is actually down this semester as opposed to when i applied

[calm atlas]

wait are the grades on the source school datasets weighted

[regal grove]

yea makes sense

but i took normal amounts

6 classes in soph and junior year

[regal torrent]

looks like every class you took was weighted

[regal grove]

my school is just cracked

[regal grove]

i took 12 ap/honors

6 technically

go away

u p watcher

.

[stray apex]

tbh maybe some year is just more cracked

you never know

😭

im coping

[regal torrent]

6 periods a day and your school uses semesters
all your classes are weighted and you have straight a's

seems like you calculated correctly

[regal grove]

no its like this for previous years too

[stray apex]

its not for us

[regal grove]

how is sd so high

same with sb

[regal grove]

i have 2 B

[stray apex]

but last year was the highest

for us

[regal torrent]

then you wouldn't have a perfect 4.00 or 5.00 lol

[regal grove]

ik i dont

when did i say i did

the pic i sent was hypothetical

[regal torrent]

up hereish

ohhhhh, i didn't catch that

interesting that your school doesn't force sophs to take pe

[regal grove]

sports

[rotund socket]

To my teacher who marked me off enough points on font size on my final presentation to give me a B: Fuck you

[limber magnet]

wth

[rotund socket]

She was petty

I asked if it was ok

And she said yeah

But marked me off like 5 points

When I needed 1 more point for an A

[regal grove]

report her

[flat steeple]

yall rdy for friday?

[regal grove]

no

[flat steeple]

already rejected by ucsc and davis not looking forward to this

[calm atlas]

my kitty is literally the only thing keeping me going until friday

[regal grove]

i just learned my w gpa is below avg for my school

[serene nymph]

tbh yeah 💀 i dont mind where i go LOL as long as its college

[flat steeple]

praying for a miracle

[flat steeple]

W mindset

[serene nymph]

💀 they dont only look at ur gpa

[limber magnet]

good luck

[serene nymph]

ur panicking over nothing 😭

just relax

[regal grove]

but still

i just

...

[serene nymph]

u cant change anything rn so just relax

[stray apex]

tbh

true

[regal grove]

😭

[serene nymph]

where u go is where you'll go. and you'll enjoy college life no matter what 😭

so dont stress out and just. enjoy. the rest of the senior year.

[regal grove]

i cant enjoy if i get 3 rejections on friday

[calm atlas]

The latter questionable

[serene nymph]

yall just need to realize that college. no matter where. is a privilege. so no matter where you go is honestly wonderful.

plus, my dad knows someone who went to harvard. and now they sell tea 😭 in a small tea shop that gets no customers. so really, the school doesn't matter. it's what you do with your education.

💀 yall just need to relaxxxxxxx

[regal grove]

u on a2c

[flat steeple]

ok cara

[calm atlas]

U in the wrong discord lmfao

[regal grove]

nobody relaxes

[serene nymph]

LOL

[flat steeple]

my life will be ruined if i don't get into Stanford

[serene nymph]

me who is relaxed 🧍‍♀️

[flat steeple]

there's no way to recover from that

[serene nymph]

😭 no it wont

[calm atlas]

I will not live if I do not go 6/6 on the UCs

[serene nymph]

plus if you don't get in now, u could just go for grad

[gilded scroll]

im gonna be honest i absolutely despise the "guys just relaxxxxx dont worry its just a decision ur gonna be fine in life it doesnt matter" high and mighty advice

like what is wrong with worrying about the next 4 years of my life? its literally fine to stress and be worried its not like if u have a huge midterm coming up its gonna ruin ur life if u fail but ur still gonna study and put effort and stress into studying

[calm atlas]

There is no life for me after that

[gilded scroll]

its the dumbest thing ever imo

[rotund socket]

If I don't get into a good uc imma 😃 🔫

[flat steeple]

stanford pure math phd has like 0.05 acceptance rate

💀

[serene nymph]

there is nothing wrong about worrying about ur future- 😭

but u guys are over analyzing which is gonna make it more stressful for yall

[calm atlas]

I think it's just that the majority of a2c kids have poured a lot of time and energy the past 4 years and want the best for them @serene nymph

[serene nymph]

makes sense

[calm atlas]

and this is a2c where everyone scrutinizes over every piece of data in college apps

[gilded scroll]

that is fair, that people spend too much time analyzing things they cant change

[rotund socket]

Ucsc was a fluke

[violet hemlock]

this is the a2c discord 💀 if u want to interact with people who don't care about their futures join the league discord or something

[serene nymph]

even i want that. but stressing out isnt gonna help yall at this point in time. u cant change anything.

[regal grove]

i think cara is trying to make us feel better

[rotund socket]

Ucsc was a fluke

[regal grove]

dont be mean

[rotund socket]

A fluke I say

[regal grove]

😦

[calm atlas]

💀💀😭

[rotund socket]

Oh

[serene nymph]
