[tawny geyser]

honestly just open them however youd like

[calm atlas]

hmm true

[dusky pollen]

I can console myself with maybe an acceptance at the end if the first two are rejects

[calm atlas]

facts

but like you can also be like

i got into one of them

[dusky pollen]

Both options are valid ig. you make a good point

[calm atlas]

[calm atlas]

@tawny geyser

[dusky pollen]

Wait great firewall of China is a legit term?

[vestal plume]

yeah it is lol

[tawny geyser]

in geography it is

[mossy badger]

can y'all do me a favor and consider a discussion on something more related to the UCs 😭

[vestal plume]

no

[lethal quarry]

#1051231428429496420 message

[dusky pollen]

I love UCB

[tawny geyser]

i literally have the app?????

[lethal quarry]

so the discussion abt how he's on discord is moot

[dusky pollen]

Berkeley is so cool

[calm atlas]

uh actually i think comparitech.com is more trustworthy than nordvpn

[mossy badger]

😐

[dusky pollen]

Man I can’t wait to get rejected

[vestal plume]

please do not refer to cal as "ucb"

[lethal quarry]

oop

[dusky pollen]

UCLA 💛💛💛

UCI 💛💛💛

[calm atlas]

yes but he said hes using nord vpn

[tropic jungle]

real

[mossy badger]

there we go

[dusky pollen]

UCSD 💛

[tawny geyser]

Our school had terrible admission results last year

[mossy badger]

THERE WE GO

[vestal plume]

UC 💛💛💛

[mossy badger]

:(

[calm atlas]

U C B

[dusky pollen]

It makes me feel better about my impending rejection

I reject their preferred name

[mossy badger]

they do be fluctuating year-after-year

[calm atlas]

U C B

[lethal quarry]

Please do not refer to Berkeley as "UCB."

PSA to UCSD students from the Berkeley community

Recently a meme was shared to our subeddit outlining a dismissive and disrespectful act that, often, many non-Berkeley students are guilty of.

Please do not refer to Berkeley as "UCB." This is not the proper way to refer to the University of California's original and flagship campus. Cal, Berkeley or UC Berkeley are all proper and acceptable ways to say it. UCB, on the other hand, is not.

As the system's most prestigious and respected campus, we feel that it is important to honor and maintain an appropriate level of respect for our university's name. We feel that "UCB" cheapens our brand and doesn't emphasize the incredible prestige associated with Berkeley.

While it may be acceptable to refer to all other UC campuses in initialisms due to their lack of recognition and prestige, this is not acceptable for the flagship and most well-known campus, and we therefore request that you cease using the name "UCB" to refer our school. Thank you.

[mossy badger]

my school was shit with UT last year and much better this year

[calm atlas]

he began by saying hes not using vpn then he said hes using nord vpn and doesnt get the concept that a shit ton of vpns are getting banned by china there aint no way this man is in china lol

[mossy badger]

kekw

[vestal plume]

did y'all see the berkeley subreddit post about the cheating and the subsequent squirrel copypastas

[flat harbor]

No one got into UT from my school except a girl with a 3.2 weighted lmfao

[dusky pollen]

Is this Texas or Toronto

[calm atlas]

"We feel that "UCB" cheapens our brand and doesn't emphasize the incredible prestige associated with Berkeley."

uh actually they are making the school cheap themselves with the shitty food and dorms so its on THEM

[vestal plume]

bruh this is the UC megathread NOT UT

[dusky pollen]

Wait there are multiple universities of Texas

[tawny geyser]

Ok let me ask you - are you in China right now

[vestal plume]

😭

[hardy edge]

[vestal plume]

[dusky pollen]

Applications and interpretations

[lethal quarry]

rip lol

[vestal plume]

oh

[dusky pollen]

Hl though

At least

[lethal quarry]

[calm atlas]

oh ns i have the same mostly

ohh we have an actual artificial intelligence course at my school tho

[dusky pollen]

That’s so cool

[lethal quarry]

dude this is what i was saying

ur 96 is a 6

[dusky pollen]

I would take that

[lethal quarry]

for my physics

70 is a 6

LMAOOOOOO

💀

[vestal plume]

oh woah that's cool

[lethal quarry]

70=6=4.0 on US GPA

so braindead

[calm atlas]

its part of a CTE pathway for the compsi people

[tawny geyser]

my teacher tells me that shes not willing to change my pg

so annoying

[calm atlas]

but like im not doing compsi and so its practically useless for me lol

[calm atlas]

i dont think they mean 96% for a 6

[tawny geyser]

im at 96%

[calm atlas]

just like a curved up grade right

[tawny geyser]

literally

[lethal quarry]

oh what

[dusky pollen]

That’s kinda bullshit

[tawny geyser]

thats math by the way

💀

[calm atlas]

so basically u get 7 for ib exams?

[lethal quarry]

hahaaha 65 = 7 for IB AA or smth

[lethal quarry]

with his school's grading, probably

[tawny geyser]

(March) my last probability test was: 46/50
(Feb) my last integration test was 56/60

[calm atlas]

you get 96% on IB Mock exams but 6 gor PG?

[tawny geyser]

our school dont have perfect translations by the way

its not 1:1 ratio

but im around the 93% range for raw

[lethal quarry]

cracked

my physics class averages 50

[tawny geyser]

at the start of the year i bombed numbers and algebra

[lethal quarry]

i average 95 or smth

💀

[tawny geyser]

affected my PG forever

[lethal quarry]

i got a new math teacher who is so bad 😭

[tawny geyser]

thats solid af

[tawny geyser]

my teacher is an art teacher lmfao

[lethal quarry]

oh god

wouldnt think so? not 100% sure tho

[calm atlas]

well you need to have a reason why

[vestal plume]

idk but i would not drop a course

[calm atlas]

and you still need to graduate

[dusky pollen]

Don’t risk it unless you have no other choice

[tawny geyser]

my TOK teacher left
english left (hl)
my econ tutor is a new teacher (he never took econ in uni)
my ess teacher is a farmer
my math teacher is an art teacher that never taught the ib

there was an exodus of teachers due to covid

[real rock]

😭

damn tough

[tawny geyser]

its not even funny

[vestal plume]

that's not dropping is it then

if you never took it?

[real rock]

u gotta self-study alot now

[tawny geyser]

we also get a % grade for cas and tok

🤣

[calm atlas]

just get a statement from ur school and explain to UC

it wknt b a prob

[tawny geyser]

anyways hows ucs going

[real rock]

🗿 wth for tok its understandable but wth for cas???

[calm atlas]

now we are back on topic

[tawny geyser]

[real rock]

[real rock]

weird lol

[dusky pollen]

How tf are they grading cas

How good the reflections are?

[lethal quarry]

dude cas was the easiest shit

[real rock]

ig so lol

[dusky pollen]

Oh shit I need to do my reflections

That reminds me lmao

[lethal quarry]

lmfao

[tawny geyser]

nah like how we perform

[tawny geyser]

my reflections are usually 500-800 words

but i only did about 65 of them iirc

some schools just treat cas as a joke

[inland osprey]

!usc

[tawny geyser]

it came out a while ago no?

usc

[inland osprey]

wait what

[dusky pollen]

EA did

[inland osprey]

usc rds came out?

oh

[dusky pollen]

Not RD

[inland osprey]

when does rd come otu

[dusky pollen]

I don’t think RD did, anyway. Think I would’ve heard about it from my classmates

[regal grove]

3.25

[inland osprey]

oh damn

[vestal plume]

a saturday? scary

[dusky pollen]

Mine literally drops you from ib if you miss two reflections

We have to do it monthly for all three areas which isn’t bad but the reflections are a pain in the ass

[lethal quarry]

monthly?

we've only done 3 exp/proj combined

[dusky pollen]

Anyway UCI 🦡🦡🦡

[tawny geyser]

oh my bad

[lethal quarry]

over the course of 2 years

[tawny geyser]

oh damn

[dusky pollen]

Actually???

[inland osprey]

youre fine

[tawny geyser]

we have to do it 1 time every 3 months

[lethal quarry]

yea..

[dusky pollen]

We’ve been doing 3 monthly for the past 2 years 😭😭

[tawny geyser]

o

[dusky pollen]

I thought that was normal

[lethal quarry]

how many experiences do u have??????

[dusky pollen]

Idk!!!??? So many

[lethal quarry]

bro that's crazy

💀

i have

1 project

2 exp

LMAO

[grim orbit]

ours is 1 per month

[dusky pollen]

Dang idk why my school loves cas so much then

[grim orbit]

do you guys have a cas coordinator?

[lethal quarry]

bro what 💀

[dusky pollen]

Yeah

[lethal quarry]

i thought WE were normal

lmfao

[dusky pollen]

Maybe it’s because we’re not an ib-only school

So it’s actually doable for the cas coordinator to read all of our reflections every time

Since there’s fewer people in my cohort

[tawny geyser]

ah i see

[tawny geyser]

small cohorts are nice

[grim orbit]

we’re an ib only school lmao 💀

[lusty igloo]

I wish i applied math of comp for ucla 😦

[tawny geyser]

im honestly so tired

been studying 12 hours a day for the ibo exams

since march

and even then im still falling behind

its so upsetting

[dusky pollen]

We still haven’t finished instruction yet for any of my classes

[tawny geyser]

oh what

we're done

[dusky pollen]

Still no mocks either

🤡 public not ib-only school

[grim orbit]

we had our mocks in jan

[lethal quarry]

damn

im gonna start

april

💀

[dusky pollen]

I’m starting May 1st 😊

[lethal quarry]

lmfao

[tawny geyser]

do you guys have high expectations for ucla

i shouldve moved to the US

[dusky pollen]

I did until I took two Ls in a row

[lethal quarry]

ngl my counselor said it was a target

[tawny geyser]

instead of coming to china like my competitiveness has dropped significantly

[dusky pollen]

And now I think I’ll be lucky to get into SB

[tawny geyser]

in Canada i was #1 every time lmfao

[tawny geyser]

oh what

[tawny geyser]

same

[dusky pollen]

MIT and Harvey Mudd

[tawny geyser]

MIT is a hard one damn

[lethal quarry]

i think it'll be a good indicator of if i have a chance at ivies

[lethal quarry]

don't count MIT 🙈

that's my "1R"

[dusky pollen]

I wasn’t expecting anything for MIT but ngl the second one shook my confidence a little

[red beacon]

can you send me template?

[jade sigil]

what time is each uc tmmrw

[dusky pollen]

Haven’t been released yet

Not officially, anyway

[tawny geyser]

i kinda gave up on the states lmfao

i got a waitlist and it shocked me

kinda destroyed my hopes

[grand bloom]

something interesting

[lethal quarry]

which?

[grand bloom]

ucsc gave me 8k 2 days ago

[lethal quarry]

intl is tough af dont be discouraged

[grand bloom]

now they gave me 40k

[tawny geyser]

a business school

[grand bloom]

does that mean I have 48k

[tawny geyser]

and i have legacy status as well

[lethal quarry]

ah

[tawny geyser]

disappointing

[dusky pollen]

Sometimes I wish I was born in the 80s

My dad said that UCI was the only school he applied to 💀

And he got in

[lethal quarry]

😢

[gaunt void]

Isn’t UCI easy to get in ?

Right now

[tawny geyser]

[dusky pollen]

Lol basically nobody in my school got in last year

[tawny geyser]

the american dream

[dusky pollen]

Wayyy lower than the official acceptance rate for some reason

[fresh karma]

Depends on the school tbh

[tawny geyser]

UCI oh like irvine right

[dusky pollen]

Yeah

[fresh karma]

My school has a UCI acceptance rate lower than our berkeley acceptance rate

[tawny geyser]

waiting for this to change

[fresh karma]

But I remember seeing someone say their school had a 40% acceptance rate for UCI or something

[gaunt void]

I’m soo tired waiting for LA and SD

[gaunt void]

That’s cool

[dusky pollen]

Us too!!

[fresh karma]

Yeah it’s weird lol

[dusky pollen]

We had a Merced rejection lmao

[fresh karma]

🗿

[lethal quarry]

[lethal quarry]

😦

[dusky pollen]

Yeah idk either

[lethal quarry]

[fresh karma]

Damn

That’s crazy

[tawny geyser]

[dusky pollen]

It’s on the UC website but not for every hs

[kind kestrel]

it shows that?

[young shale]

Acceptance by source school

[dusky pollen]

^^ yes this exactly

[fresh karma]

If you are in state, search up “UC admissions for source”

[young shale]

yeye idk abt out of state schools but it's for all in state schools

yeye

[vestal plume]

yeah so go to "colleges i'm applying to" and then go to "compare me" 💀

it should say the total accepted/applied

[young shale]

all the ucs every year from like 2005 or smtn

[dusky pollen]

We’re 11% for Berkeley

[vestal plume]

are you in state?

[dusky pollen]

Yes

[vestal plume]

45 out of 300 that apply

[dusky pollen]

Let me go check the others

[dusky pollen]

Let me log back in and check

[tender elm]

on reddit and YT

[vestal plume]

erc, warren, and muir last ofc

[young shale]

googled "best ucsd colleges for engineering major"

WHAT

TROLLINF??

[vestal plume]

🙏 🙏

[tender elm]

huh

muir is T2

[vestal plume]

the ucsd subreddit users were rlly helpful

[tender elm]

like actually

[vestal plume]

i remember this phase

[tender elm]

yea i did some trolling on reddit

on the ucsd sub

[vestal plume]

like people were saying muir first

[vestal plume]

kinda crazy

[tender elm]

only a little tho

[young shale]

plz say I didn't fall for the trolling

[untold pivot]

For real. Nice subreddit overall

[young shale]

☠️

[whole musk]

wait is muir not that good

[tender elm]

oof

[whole musk]

or what

[vestal plume]

idk what my rankings were tbh

[tender elm]

6th is the best

[tawny geyser]

How’s UCSD

[young shale]

oh right they renovated it

[tawny geyser]

Which one of these is the best in terms of academics

[vestal plume]

i put erc dead last 😭

[tender elm]

this is the new 6th

[ancient raven]

Do any of the remaining ucs email that there is a portal update ?

[tender elm]

they are all equal

[vestal plume]

yeah i really wanted 6th

[dusky pollen]

Wait what’s wrong with Muir though?

[vestal plume]

nothing lol

[tender elm]

they have different focuses tho

[vestal plume]

it's good

[tender elm]

it looks like a jail

[vestal plume]

bruh what

[dusky pollen]

Maybe I should’ve google image searched them all first lmao

[vestal plume]

😭 😭

[late zinc]

i heard one of the colleges makes you take another language what college is that again

[ancient raven]

I think Muir was easiest to double major bc low amount of gen Eds

[sleek bluff]

did anyone get into ucsc back in february but still hasn't gotten their financial aid offer? the admission email said the offers vould be released in the first veek of march so im a bit vorried 😟

[young shale]

awhat the fuck

[tender elm]

ERC and revelle

[vestal plume]

oh thats not too bad

[young shale]

UR JOKIN RHATS SO COOL

[ancient raven]

I haven’t either

[vestal plume]

nvm

bruh the bars

☠️

[whole musk]

[young shale]

It gets worse when u go to the middle of muir

A

[tender elm]

these are the dorms

[sleek bluff]

okok thats relieving 😭

[young shale]

a whole maze runner vibe

[tender elm]

my cousin lived here

[whole musk]

how's warren

[dusky pollen]

This way I can say I go to UPenn. The university penitentiary 😭

[ancient raven]

But I just got scholarship yday so idk if that changes anything

[young shale]

last time I went to Muir I rode those scooters and the siren went off and echoed for a whole 5 seconds

☠️☠️

[ancient raven]

@tender elm

[tender elm]

its far

from everything

[vestal plume]

did you steal it???

[tender elm]

its in its own lil space

[tender elm]

spin scooters

[ancient raven]

Isn’t Warren like the best for engineering

[tender elm]

20 cents per min

rental

[young shale]

jaw it was so expensive $10 for half a hour

[tender elm]

Yep

[vestal plume]

it makes more money than a person

[ancient raven]

Is eighth done

[tender elm]

Yes

they are furnishing now

[vestal plume]

someone posted a vid of the dorms on the ucsd sub

it looks pretty nice

[whole musk]

is seventh newer than sixth

[dusky pollen]

I think ucsd is the only one where I applied to a major that I still want to do rn lmao

Chemical engineering

[vestal plume]

same

💀

[tender elm]

not bad

[dusky pollen]

Idk what 2022 me was thinking with that cs

[vestal plume]

i mean same to major not same major specifically

oh no

[tender elm]

6th is newer

[whole musk]

oh really

[tender elm]

seventh was built in 2017

[sleek bluff]

oh i did not ☹️ congrats tho!!

[tender elm]

sixth finished in 2021??

[lethal quarry]

SD forgor how to count 🥲

[whole musk]

is that why it's called 7th

what's with the names

[ancient raven]

I think 2020

[dusky pollen]

Why did they do it in that order

[vivid shell]

What is considered as honors?

[tender elm]

yea mayvbe

[vivid shell]

Like English honors or honors that the UCs identify as honors like chem honors

[ancient raven]

I think bc both sixth and seventh had like completely new renovations

[tender elm]

6th 7th and 8th dont have names yet bc nobody has donated $$$

[dusky pollen]

Ohhh I see

[ancient raven]

Oh

[tender elm]

6th used to be camp snoopy

[dusky pollen]

Give me 20 yrs and it’ll be the pastry college ✊

[tender elm]

7th was converted from the old transfer housing village

[ancient raven]

Does ucsd have honors college

[calm atlas]

omg did you guys see when conan obrien opened a ucsd college

[tender elm]

ya

[calm atlas]

i need to find that video lmao

https://youtu.be/_wd9W1QvwZw

[hearty dagger]

@tender elm did you get into Irvine or SB? And did you get into riverside or Santa Cruz early?

[tender elm]

no to UCI or UCSB

[ancient raven]

I thought riverside releases all at once ?

[tender elm]

UCSC last batch

[whole musk]

idts

[tender elm]

UCR first batch

[whole musk]

some people still haven't heard from ucr i think

[calm atlas]

i havent

[vestal plume]

yeah a few people have said that

[vivid shell]

Me too

[calm atlas]

what does mean lmao

[whole musk]

idk mate

[vivid shell]

Idk :(

[whole musk]

nothing

[calm atlas]

istg if i get waitlisted at ucr

[vivid shell]

Yea probably nothing

[whole musk]

also the more i think about it

why don't colleges just release dates

for decisions

[calm atlas]

literally

actually

i think maybe it has to do with site traffic?

[flat harbor]

Cause they enjoy watching us suffer

[whole musk]

like i paid 70 dollars for each of my uc apps at least let me find out when the decisions are coming

yes

shoot you reminded me i need to do that

[calm atlas]

i wish the ucs kept all their portal crap on the uc application page

there is way too much to manage right now

[dim idol]

What are the odds that ucsd and ucla come out tomorrow

[whole musk]

were you by any chance not born in CA

[regal torrent]

uc is the second most popular megathread, just behind uchicago

[whole musk]

what

💀

[rare carbon]

do yall think uci will actually be tomm cause honors didnt release

[young shale]

Ucsd has to be 100% coming out

[whole musk]

bc i was born outside of the us but have been a pr for a while

[calm atlas]

i heard uci is coming in batches?

idk

[whole musk]

and still have to submit all the documents

[young shale]

They've been edging us with their tik tok and shit

[whole musk]

wait @grave gazelle do you have to submit yours too or just your parents

oh

i think then it's only if you or your parents are PRs

[tawny geyser]

iirc

the UCS dont use SAT for admission right

theyre barred from using it

[calm atlas]

Where's nacho at

[regal torrent]

by a california court, uc's may not consider sat or act scores

[tawny geyser]

yea

how come by the way

[young shale]

Hallehujuh

[lusty igloo]

they believe that it puts low income students at a disadvantage

any test optional student on A2C gets goddamn obliterated if they say they like test optional policies

like never say you like test optional policies on the subreddit

or you will prob get death treats lmao

[calm atlas]

facts

It's cuz everyone here sweats tests

[lusty igloo]

Like i love you all but like the subreddit can be hella toxic at times

[tawny geyser]

i like the no sat policy

i didnt have time to take it lmfao

[lethal quarry]

shouldn’t chicago be dead now cuz they released lol

[tawny geyser]

too busy with other examinations

[young shale]

These mfs spent their entire lives studying for it and realize that a test score doesn't make up their entire personality

[regal torrent]

exactly, we gotta pull ahead

[tawny geyser]

the sat looks hella easy

[lusty igloo]

thats fair I didnt get time to prepare for it due to a illness I had

[tawny geyser]

maybe i shouldve done it

[dusky pollen]

I don’t mind test optional but test blind makes me sad

[rotund socket]

i didnt study

[tawny geyser]

mm

[whole musk]

yeah, me and my parents are both PRs and they requested proof for all three of us

[rotund socket]

i played val instead

[young shale]

LMAOO

[whole musk]

i think it's just for SD, i'm not sure why exactly though

[tawny geyser]

lol

[lethal quarry]

real

[young shale]

My friend spent like $500/month sat prep class for four years just for it to not matter

[lethal quarry]

i’m gonna sound racist or smth but dude asians r academic weapons when it comes to standardized testing lmao

[young shale]

LMAOO L

[lusty igloo]

nah your good.

[tawny geyser]

well selectivity and prestige gives birth to ego

[lethal quarry]

so yes probably ez for u

[tawny geyser]

and elitism

[tawny geyser]

yea we are lol

do you know why?

we try very hard

[lethal quarry]

exactly

lmfao

[tawny geyser]

to be honest

[lethal quarry]

my friends laughing at me for grinding SAT

[tawny geyser]

i worked to get to where i am

[lethal quarry]

they need to stfu 💀

[tawny geyser]

yea lmao

[lethal quarry]

exactlyyyyy

[tawny geyser]

i put in 12 hours of work every day

[young shale]

academics are so hard back in asia that our parents want us to feel the suffering that they felt

[tawny geyser]

we're not just academically gifted

[lusty igloo]

bro if you look at the academics in China and India, its WAY tougher then the USA

[tawny geyser]

kinda the other way with me lol

[lusty igloo]

like its crazy

[tawny geyser]

this is true
