[kind kestrel]

NAH LOL

[pallid ermine]

lmao

[kind kestrel]

[cold linden]

My UC GPA isn't amazing since non California honors classes aren't weighted, and I took all honors classes sophmore year. Hopefully they understand.

I still put "(class x) honors in the srar though.

[west badger]

[cold linden]

Beg, even

I'm oos so I'm gonna get railed regardless

[west badger]

OOP

thats fine

[limber magnet]

I’m in state and I’m gonna get railed too lol

[rotund socket]

Did u get into ucsc

[tropic jungle]

real

[vestal turret]

im international

and yeah

🤡

[regal grove]

not again 💀

[tropic jungle]

ygs think if ur in the last waves of rolling applicants ur more likely to have a rejection letter?

[rotund socket]

Every cs person who got in got lower stats and ecs than md

I'm killing myself

💀 🔫 💀 🔫 💀 🔫 💀 🔫 💀 🔫 💀 🔫

[west badger]

sounds like a scam

i think you should just boycott the UC system

teach em a lesson

[kind kestrel]

fr we withdrawing

[rotund socket]

I should've done drugs in hs

[kind kestrel]

why

[hardy edge]

today boutta be a shitshow

[rotund socket]

Literally no point in me sweating my ass off

[west badger]

the fire alarm just went off

💀

but its like

raining

[rotund socket]

Just to get waitlisted with a 4.48 from ucsc

[west badger]

not too late to start

[hardy edge]

in state?

[hardy edge]

💯

spitting

[west badger]

have some fun with the remaining hs you got

[rotund socket]

Yeah

[cold linden]

Didn't apply there.

[rotund socket]

Nah I don't do drugs

[hardy edge]

you going to a better uc

trust

[rotund socket]

Cap

[hardy edge]

trust bro

[rotund socket]

I'm killing myself b4 friday

[tropic jungle]

rejection is redirection

[west badger]

i know you’ve been working your ass off

[rotund socket]

I got waitlisted

From davis

And ucsc

13 ap + honors

For Jack shit

[sterile cloak]

What major?

[cold linden]

I'm in Illinois, so basically I will definitely go UCLA or Berk over UIUC but not sure about Irvine or San Diego. I can afford all of them fine but still

[rotund socket]

Comp sci

[frigid grotto]

your gpa, and ap scores?

[regal grove]

im the opposite lol

[rotund socket]

4.48 W 4.32 capped 3.96 uw

9 aps

Avg 4.5 on ap tests

[frigid grotto]

while ucd waitlist is also normal don't worry (50-60% of ucla/berkeley eng acceptances were also waitlisted there last year), ucsc wl is a little unusual

last year at least, everyone who should have gotten in to ucsc got in there

[sharp orchid]

and im int’l

💀

[rotund socket]

Ik

So in killing myself

[sharp orchid]

why

[frigid grotto]

something doesn't add up, you should be admitted to ucsc with these stats as it's not particularly hard to get into cs

are you sure you app looks ok?

[sharp orchid]

yield prot.

[shut copper]

What about essays

[frigid grotto]

on everything

[rotund socket]

Yeah

[cold linden]

For me it's 7 AP, I think 7 honors, and 2 CC courses outside of HS

[regal grove]

ap scores dont matter for uc admissions

[frigid grotto]

ucsc doesn't seem to yield protect

[rotund socket]

Had essays peer reviewed by Stanford admit

[sharp orchid]

ucd

[west badger]

nah it makes sense

[calm atlas]

my teacher gave me an 86 for participation then on powerschool bumped it down to 80 the day before transcripts were finalized so thats how i went from 90 -> 89.3 😭

[west badger]

it’s the cs part

[rotund socket]

Ik other kids at my school got waitlisted for cs with 4.4 weighted gpad

[west badger]

a lot of people i know who’s anted to do cs applied data or cog sci or info sci to UCs

and got in

[frigid grotto]

at ucsc???

[west badger]

at the end of the day you prolly have better schools for cs than davis with your app

[rotund socket]

Yeah

[calm atlas]

berk is depressing, horrible food (id still go for engineering tho)
UCLA seems like good food good school
irvine seems like fob city
san diego i havent seen a single student out there

[rotund socket]

And s friend with a 4.0 weighted got in

[frigid grotto]

maybe this year is just exceptionally weird, or your school has too high a proportion of admits (idk if this matters it's just a guess)

[rotund socket]

Barely anyone got in

[calm atlas]

damn

[rotund socket]

Same with davis too

[calm atlas]

ik my school has a 50% admit to berk so idt that matters

[rotund socket]

Only one kid got in for cs

And he got regents

[west badger]

ur oos right

💀

regents

[frigid grotto]

are you oos?

[cold linden]

Basically yeah thats what I've heard

[rotund socket]

In state

[cold linden]

I'm doing Bio

[calm atlas]

irvine has good food too

like really good food

[cold linden]

Food is pretty important to me ngl

[lusty igloo]

same

[cold linden]

Why I EDII'd WashU

And applied to Bowdoin

And Cornell

[lusty igloo]

you will love UCLA if u like good food

[cold linden]

And UCLA

Time to still get a fat L

[frigid grotto]

at some UCs you can get away by buying less of the meal plan or skipping altogether

[west badger]

wait did Ed 2 washU coke out alr

come

[sharp orchid]

what about davis

[cold linden]

But if the meal plan is actually good I'll totally use it

[cold linden]

Yup

I took the L

[rotund socket]

Imagine getting into ucs

[calm atlas]

i havent been there its in the middle of nowhere if that says anything

[cold linden]

I think it may have been lower this year because EDI was higher

[rotund socket]

Like I'm so fucked

Fnl

I wanna die

[cold linden]

Might just be an anomaly

I wouldn't freak out until I get every decision back

[frigid grotto]

I'd feel the same way if I was waitlisted with those stats. and having taken 13 ap's i assume at least 1 of them is the challenging type

i.e ap calc

[lusty igloo]

only one more day bros (gender neutral word)

[frigid grotto]

so still makes no sense

[calm atlas]

UCs are really struggling at capacity so oos students have a really tough time :/

[frigid grotto]

ucsc traditionally has welcomed many students, smart and dumb for every major

[cold linden]

A family friend's daughter got rejected from Tufts ED but accepted both Northwestern and Duke RD. Maybe not as extreme but still

[frigid grotto]

a lot of these privates, especially Tufts, are known to practice extreme YP

[rotund socket]

Ap calc ab, ap calc bc, apush, ap world, ap eng lit, ap eng lang, ap comp scin, ap span lit, ap physics 2, chem H, alg 2 H, eng 1 H, pre calc H

[cold linden]

YP for ed though?

[frigid grotto]

oh true

[calm atlas]

yea i think this is just an anomaly

i wouldn't let it say anything ab other admissions

[lusty igloo]

tufts is need aware

[cold linden]

I really like the UCs because they don't look at freshman grades and my only grade below an A is a C in freshman geometry honors

[cold linden]

Maybe that then

Though I don't think she's low income

[lusty igloo]

the UCs dont calculate your GPA with 9th but they do look at 9th grade

[calm atlas]

they're mostly looking for huge red flags

[west badger]

they prolly didn’t get a chance to reading ur apps or smtg

[lusty igloo]

so its still no biggie

[frigid grotto]

you don't have to be low income, you just have to be making less than the school's cost each year

and have assets they consider nonsufficient

[calm atlas]

damn

[rotund socket]

I had 2 B+ frosh year

1 B+ junior year

All As soph

[calm atlas]

thats progression

so no red flags there

[cold linden]

Actually wait I also got a b in freshman French honors

[rotund socket]

Junior was B+ ap lang sem 1

And I got it to A- in sem 2

[frigid grotto]

maybe you can hope that on friday you will get into a good uc

[calm atlas]

Nacho still at it

[rotund socket]

Doubt it

[cold linden]

1 semester C, 3 semester B, all As afterwards

[calm atlas]

Don't u have school

[rotund socket]

I have no hope for anything

[cold linden]

3.9 uw gpa still so idc

[calm atlas]

I know

[obsidian heron]

nah ian get this

[calm atlas]

same

[calm atlas]

r u l&s

[obsidian heron]

yes

[calm atlas]

wait how 3.9 with a C and 3 Bs

Weird

[obsidian heron]

economics

[calm atlas]

i got a 3.9 with 1 B

I thought it was only sent to l&s hm

[obsidian heron]

well

clearly something went wrong

[cold linden]

Like a 3.67 1st semester and 3.7 something 2nd semester freshman year

Then all As after that soph to senior

[calm atlas]

a C is like a 2.0 no

or does your school use an inflated scale

[cold linden]

My school counts electives like band and gym

So maybe that?

[calm atlas]

ohhhh

UCs only look at the a-g courses for GPA i believe

[cold linden]

Still fine since those bad grades were freshman year anyways

[calm atlas]

yea thats good

[cold linden]

Without electives my UW would be lower but my weighted higher

[pallid ermine]

bro

theres one thing

that ill be really angry abt

tomorrow

if i get waitliste

[calm atlas]

huh

oh yea that sucjks

[obsidian heron]

@calm atlas think its becuase i forgot to do this shit

[calm atlas]

also just waiting

[pallid ermine]

ill be really really anngry man

just reject or accept me

i dont want to be placed on a waitlist

please

[calm atlas]

id take waitlist over reject

[cold linden]

Got waitlisted at Grinnell college, probably because I didn't do the essay since I forgot I applied there

[calm atlas]

oh lmao yeah probably

I didn't do that tho but it's prolly diff for applicants

[pallid ermine]

i would too but i wont be happy abt it bro

[obsidian heron]

wdym applicants

you got the email bruh???

[cold linden]

Depends ig.

[calm atlas]

the email literally doesnt matter

[shut copper]

do you have elc

[rotund socket]

Yeah

[cold linden]

Some waitlists are really good others are basically rejections

[pallid ermine]

i didnnt get the berkeley email today lmao

im probably auto reject

f

[calm atlas]

I got the email but I don't think it matters

stop it

[pallid ermine]

why man

[jagged wind]

nah it was such an ad email

[calm atlas]

the email is only for L&S majors

[rotund socket]

I'm elc top 9% too

[obsidian heron]

wait is fyp for financial aid students

[calm atlas]

Applicants I mean people who haven't been admitted you alr admitted

[cold linden]

Stop doing email/portal astrology yall

[shut copper]

So you can still go to merced if nothing else works out🔥

[pallid ermine]

90% of a2c got the email but i didnt its really annoying

[rotund socket]

Rather would give up on college than go to merced tbh

[pallid ermine]

im worried now

[calm atlas]

it doesnt matter

[shut copper]

Its still a UC school though!

[cold linden]

Check spam

Mine was there

[sharp orchid]

*people who choose l&s as their primary

[shut copper]

Honestly dont knock it

[calm atlas]

relax guys

[pallid ermine]

[calm atlas]

Facts it don't matter

[frigid grotto]

merced=not a uc

[cold linden]

CSU merced

[frigid grotto]

too expensive for what you're getting

[calm atlas]

i need ucla lol

[frigid grotto]

[obsidian heron]

nah neither did i

[cold linden]

Ilyu UCLA

[frigid grotto]

ucla is extremely easy to transfer into

[cold linden]

Pls accept me so I can get good food and dorms

[obsidian heron]

[cold linden]

And Marine biology stuff

[calm atlas]

I ain't tranferring

[vestal turret]

[cold linden]

Heart goes out for all you CS mfs out there

[vestal turret]

but i always say that dont have high expectations, especially for myself, cuz ik im not the brightest applicant, and im an international too

[calm atlas]

i love engineering but CS culture sucks

[limber magnet]

😭

[vestal turret]

true

[cold linden]

Is it even worth applying to reaches when there's people in your HS with much higher stats applying to the same schools?

[vestal turret]

i still dont know how my best friend got in ucb early cs bro

[cold linden]

Cuz that's me with Cornell and others

[crystal summit]

when does ucla come out 🥺

[vestal turret]

i was just gonne say

[calm atlas]

[vestal turret]

MY FUCKING FRIEND

[cold linden]

I think my essays range from ok to really good so I'll see

Like I really like my cornell essay

[calm atlas]

bruh i fucking hate this capped gpa system

if lowers my gpa wayyyy too much

[vestal turret]

we have a girl in stanford, a guy in uc b till now CS, a guy in northwestern, then theres me

[cold linden]

But my friend with a gpa .4 higher than mine also applied there

[vestal turret]

like they got accepted

same major?

[calm atlas]

they might have really shit essays

[vestal turret]

im procrastinating so hard

[cold linden]

I also applied to CALS while they did CAS so idk

[vestal turret]

cuz i cant study

while thinking about ucs

its hard

[cold linden]

And my ECs are less prestigious but much more unique

I'm just coping rn

Lol

[vestal turret]

if i do get in

its probably my essays and ecs coming in clutch

cuz other than that

💀

[cold linden]

Me fr

[calm atlas]

I will get into UCLA

[vestal turret]

like what do i do when my school offers 3 aps max 12th grade

[subtle chasm]

[cold linden]

For my mental health same I'm glad my school doesn't rank students

[vestal turret]

LIKE WHAT DO I DO

[calm atlas]

ur compared to ur school

[vestal turret]

same man

[cold linden]

Or looks at plusses or minuses

[pallid ermine]

im breaking apart

f

[cold linden]

An A is an A

[vestal turret]

i feel like ucs being test-blind is a good thing for me

cuz my stats are ASS

[tropic jungle]

about to start writing in my notebook 3 times and sleeping on it

manifesting heavy

[vestal turret]

https://tenor.com/view/he-just-like-me-fr-gif-25075803

[cold linden]

I have a 34, so I'm in the weird limbo of "good but not outstanding for t20" where I wonder if it even looks better than TO or not

[vestal turret]

a 34 is so good

i took the sat

like 2 times

[calm atlas]

34 is good

[vestal turret]

and it wasnt good

[calm atlas]

34+ is considered the same

the next highest tier is 36/36/36/36 + other outstanding academic achievement

[cold linden]

My course rigor is one of the weaker part of my application which really sucks though

[vestal turret]

yeah a 34 is really good

[vestal turret]

same

bro i have 3 ap classes on my transcript

[cold linden]

It's not bad but not amazing

[vestal turret]

may allah help me

[calm atlas]

dont sweat it the difference in academic ability between 34, 35, 36 is too small to disqualify anybody

33 and below is when its a different tier

[tropic jungle]

LOL SAME

I HAVE 3 AP

[vestal turret]

BRO ITS NOT EVEN MY FAULT

THE SCHOOL

ONLY OFFERS

[tropic jungle]

IKR

[vestal turret]

3 MAS

X

[calm atlas]

Facts

unis recognize that

[tropic jungle]

I COULDNT EVEN TAKE ANY FRESHMEN YEAR

LIKE WTF

[vestal turret]

i took 2 self study aps and i couldnt even put them in

[tropic jungle]

AND WAS LIMITED TO 1 SOPHOMORE YEAR

[calm atlas]

Bro ur compared to ur school calm down

[vestal turret]

like i added them as tests

[calm atlas]

^

[tropic jungle]

oh real

[cold linden]

Phew

[calm atlas]

your counselor will make sure the AOs know that

[cold linden]

That's kinda what I've heard

[vestal turret]

yeah but we have a fucking genius

thats ruining everyone's lives

[cold linden]

People told me get a 34 and be done with it

[calm atlas]

lol

[calm atlas]

yea

[cold linden]

So I did that

[calm atlas]

<33 is the same as <1500

[vestal turret]

sat :(

nightmares i swear

[tropic jungle]

i didnt get the pathway email and i applied to L&S

[calm atlas]

I got lucky with standardized testing

[cold linden]

My ACT is mega unbalanced though

[vestal turret]

bro practice exams i used to get 1450+ comfortable everyday

[calm atlas]

i wanted to go for presidential scholarship but i stopped after a second attempt and got the same exact score lol

[vestal turret]

but when it came to exam day

[calm atlas]

Got it down first month of Jr year

[vestal turret]

y'all dont wanna know

[tropic jungle]

should i be worried :

[cold linden]

36 reading and English, 34 science, 30 math

Thank god im not doing engineering or physics

[calm atlas]

Prolly doesn't mean anything, but just curious did you apply l&s as ur primary

my first ACT i drank 2 cups of coffee right before and had to piss like a mfer the whole way through

[bitter zephyr]

You guys should seriously get off this server lmao

[calm atlas]

fr

[cold linden]

Yeah true tbh but no

[vestal turret]

the only reason im on thiss erver is cuz of the ucs

[tropic jungle]

yes

[calm atlas]

facts go touch grass

[tropic jungle]

cs major

[vestal turret]

as soon as im done with ucs im out of here

[tropic jungle]

D:

[calm atlas]

done

[vestal turret]

my ankle is dead i cant

[cold linden]

I applied to 28 colleges total because my stats are mid compared to the top of the top students in my school 💀

Ans I just hope one AO is drunk

[vestal turret]

damn thats crazy

i did 17

and it was my limit

[cold linden]

I still have UIUC as my backup though so I won't be suffering too much

[vestal turret]

@tropic jungle what are ur 3 aps

[calm atlas]

would be unfortunate if AO went through a breakup the day they read my app

[vestal turret]

nah i believe in you micah

[vestal turret]

i have u of t so i guess i wont be suffering too

[calm atlas]

same

[tropic jungle]

ap world, apush , apes

wbu

[vestal turret]

the best thing about u of t is if i decide to go idk why but theres this scholarship that admits students who get into these schools easily

[cold linden]

My realistic/slightly pessimist prediction is that I get into either San Diego or Irvine, but not UCLA or Berkeley

[vestal turret]

WHAT

[tropic jungle]

bro that was all it was offered

[cold linden]

If it was all you were offered then they won't ding you for it

[vestal turret]

but u can also get other schools and get a scholarship but u gonn ahave to go through a tough evaluation process

[vestal turret]

oh no trust me

they called me and were like u want it?

i was like no wait for ucla

they were like oki doki

[cold linden]

Oh I mean the AP classes

Like I took over twice as many APs as that but my school offers 20+ so I might be worse off

7/20something doesn't look amazing

[vestal turret]

oh i see

[cold linden]

So I'm doing 2 CC classes outside of my HS to look better lol

Hopefully they actually care

[calm atlas]

no student took all 20 i can assure you

[tropic jungle]

@vestal turret what aps did u take

[calm atlas]

I think I took my schools aps

Half my schools aps

[tropic jungle]

DAM

[calm atlas]

@vestal turretguess what

for 1 of my ECs

150 hours per week

.....

.......

[tropic jungle]

LOL

WTF

[calm atlas]

.........

[cold linden]

Yeah the most I know for sure is like 14 or 15. Then again, my school offers a lot of APs only as "double ap" classes that are one class, like AP Physics (Physics I and II) and AP Econ (micro and macro). So if you count actual full AP classes then the max number at my school is lower.

[tropic jungle]

THATS WILD

[calm atlas]

@tropic jungleam I getting rejected for that

lol

[cold linden]

Dafuq

[calm atlas]

im getting rejected for that aren't I

[tropic jungle]

i think they know its a typo

[calm atlas]

😭

[lofty sage]

You could email and explain the mistake

Accidentally added a 0

[calm atlas]

they release decisions tomorrow

[cold linden]

Alright yall what is your most unique/best EC

[calm atlas]

might be a bit too late

[lofty sage]

Ah fuck

Which uni is this?

[calm atlas]

UCLA and Berkeley

[civic verge]

The exact same thing happened to me

Similar stats

[tropic jungle]

did ygs get recommendation letter requests from berkeley

[calm atlas]

nope

[lofty sage]

Atleast email them

LA not likely to change decision

[warm canyon]

I am getting into ucsd

[lofty sage]

There's still time for berkeley

[cold linden]

I wonder how many/what proportion of the top student "guaranteed admission to at least one UC" Cali kids are just thrown into Riverside or Merced or SC

[lofty sage]

How are you so sure?

[calm atlas]

[warm canyon]

😭😊😤🙏🥱🤤😁❤️❤️😊🙄🥱💿💿☎️🎚⏱

[cold linden]

UCSD likely???

[vestal turret]

[cold linden]

There's a junior in my stats class who says he's taking AP Bio, AP Chem, Calc BC, and AP Research senior year and I'm like "bro ur legit gonna die"

[warm canyon]

“Stay connected with UC San Diego” “we want to take a moment to thank you for your patience as we continue to review fall 2023 applications”

[tropic jungle]

DAMN

[calm atlas]

they could tell it meant 15 hours

[calm atlas]

thats not a liekly letter

[warm canyon]

Yes it is I read it

[cold linden]

AP research at my school is apparently awful

[vestal turret]

[lofty sage]

It's a troll most prolly

[warm canyon]

Fine

U guys e just haters

[cold linden]

Why does logging into UCLA portal have to be 10x more annoying than other portals

[lofty sage]

Fr. Even UCSB is bad

[calm atlas]

[lofty sage]

Yeah

[calm atlas]

🙏

....

[tropic jungle]

😭

[frigid grotto]

that's wack

[tropic jungle]

what was ur overall ec hours

[calm atlas]

its a simple screenshot

[frigid grotto]

sad af

[cold linden]

Would you guys say UCSD or UCI are worth it over UIUC for Bio even though there will probably be a big cost difference (even if I can afford all of them)

[calm atlas]

others are all normal

it's just this one

that's fucked

[vestal turret]

yup

[rigid birch]

💀 💀

[calm atlas]

yea

[warm canyon]

I will be honest I said that my activities were 70 hours a week for 30 weeks a year so they will be really imprsssed and accept me sorry guys

[dawn zealot]

ucsd prolly yeah

[cold linden]

Good to know

[whole musk]

is uiuc good for bio

[cold linden]

I think it's decent

[tropic jungle]

WHY AM I NOT GETTING THESE EMAILS

[calm atlas]

ucsd basically HAS to release decisions tomorrow bc march 24 isn't mid march

[lofty sage]

Yeah bro everyone got this

[tropic jungle]

I DID NOT

[calm atlas]

thats what im saying

[whole musk]

i mean on their instagram page they posted a reel of admission packets

[cold linden]

UIUC gave me no aid or scholarships those bums

[warm canyon]

So we r all getting in

[whole musk]

so it's essentially a hint

[warm canyon]

Hooray

[dawn zealot]

stop im getting anxious now 😭

[calm atlas]

arent you in state

[calm atlas]

yeah its pretty confirmed i guess i was just trying to be delusional and hoping its not tomorrow

[cold linden]

(I definitely didn't forget to apply to their Bio student scholarship they offered me)

[cold linden]

Yes

[calm atlas]

theres your aid

[whole musk]

i want it to be tomorrow

[calm atlas]

from the gov

[whole musk]

i need to know

[cold linden]

I get in state tuition but nothing besides that

[calm atlas]

im so fked

[cold linden]

So still 40k a year

[calm atlas]

2/3 basically confirmed but uci has been really quiet

150 EC hours

bruh

[dawn zealot]

that's good enough 😂

[calm atlas]

BRUh

[tropic jungle]

its okay

[calm atlas]

isnt it 35k?

only 18 hours for rest

[whole musk]

apparently some dude in istanbul received an email saying there's going to be an admitted student meeting for uci on the 18th

[cold linden]

Around 40k total I think lemme double check

[calm atlas]

omg

[whole musk]

i think that means 17th?

[calm atlas]

i wish there was a ss

[whole musk]

there was

in #✨-celebration-station a while ago

[calm atlas]

thats ~15-40K cheaper than OOS UC or private school

~60-160K cheaper across 4 years

[calm atlas]

17th here will be 18th in instanbul

..

[cold linden]

40,364

[calm atlas]

at the very max

still much cheaper than other 4 year schools imo

unless you do the community colelge transfer pathway

[cold linden]

True

Like I said I can afford all of them fine but even then I'm still debating it

[calm atlas]

mhm

[whole musk]

hmm

[calm atlas]

ive decided to go to a UC

[cold linden]

Like how much is UCSD oos?

[calm atlas]

even if i get into an ivy

id rather do grad school at an ivy and undergrad at state

[cold linden]

That's fair

68k OOS

For ucsd

[vestal turret]

NOOO

[calm atlas]

But only considered according to CDS so idk

[calm atlas]

UCI rushing to get through last 2000 apps late night tonight lol
