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

[dusky pollen]

Academics are so hard back in Asia that my parents want me to go back to school in Asia despite being born in the US lmao

[calm atlas]

lowkey people who spend money on sat prep have low brain cells

[young shale]

physical and public humiliation if u got a bad score in a test is crazy

[calm atlas]

Everything is free

[lethal quarry]

yeah, need talent but then only hard work can make it happen

[tawny geyser]

high population results in increased competition

[lethal quarry]

otherwise ur just wasting

[dusky pollen]

Khan academy 😍

[calm atlas]

On gos

[young shale]

so real

[tawny geyser]

its truly a pity but i hope that some day asia will be able to produce educational institutions that rivals NA - and hence make higher level education more accessible to Asians with high scores (who would be on par with top us students but are not "good enough" for top asian unis)

[calm atlas]

That's why I hate the argument that low income can't afford sat prep

[dusky pollen]

Same

[lethal quarry]

i bought a 50 dollar book, went through it once, done

[young shale]

SRSLY

[calm atlas]

The good prep is free

[young shale]

so fucj the sat

[calm atlas]

And top students ain't doin sat prep

[dusky pollen]

I guess you could argue internet access though

[regal torrent]

i actually kinda mess with test optional

test blind maybe not so much

[dusky pollen]

That’s my stance on it

[calm atlas]

I fw test optional but test blind is dumb

Like if u don't wanna submit go for it but it should still matter

[dusky pollen]

Idc if someone else’s sat score isn’t considered but I want mine to be y’know?

[lethal quarry]

unpopular take but i think sat required is better 💀

[regal torrent]

this is an incredibly popular take

[calm atlas]

Facts

[lethal quarry]

if america wants to solve inequality, start at elementary school

[calm atlas]

I agree with chief but I understand test optional

[lethal quarry]

don’t fucking start at uni level💀💀💀

[lethal quarry]

oh 🤣

[regal torrent]

i know the val at my school and she's ranting to me about test blind

[dusky pollen]

SAT required > SAT optional > test blind

Or wait

Hm maybe SAT required unless you can’t afford it

[young shale]

Sat optional superior

[regal torrent]

i don't agree with sat so much because it's pretty worthless as a test

[lethal quarry]

aren’t there waivers

[regal torrent]

doesn't predict college readiness very well

[dusky pollen]

Oh true

[calm atlas]

Yeah but it's an objective measure nonetheless

[whole musk]

i mean AOs look at your SAT score for 2 seconds then move on

[regal torrent]

is it? not everyone has the resources to prepare for and take it

[dusky pollen]

Gonna be entirely honest here. I only like SAT required because I did good on the SAT

[whole musk]

yeah obv

[dusky pollen]

100% biased

[whole musk]

test opt is the best i think

[young shale]

lmaoo

[regal torrent]

sat has been shown to behave kind of like a multiplier for family income

[calm atlas]

if u go to HS u cover most of the material

[young shale]

yep I didn't take the sat but I can see how sat optional would benefit everyone

[calm atlas]

and in extreme situations test optional can help

So I fw test optional just not test blind

[regal torrent]

ehhhhhh
a lot of the stuff that shows up is rather departed from it

[dusky pollen]

I think test optional is best of both worlds tbh

[lusty igloo]

but the sat has strategies in which you need to understand

[calm atlas]

Bruh my sat was like all lin eqns and solving for x 💀

[lusty igloo]

fair enough

[regal torrent]

for instance sat reading is... something else

[calm atlas]

Yeah I agree test optional is a w

[dusky pollen]

Mine was fucking geometry

[grave gazelle]

ok managed to convince my parents to just upload their docs, you helped a lot! Thank you!

[dusky pollen]

I forgot everything about geometry when I took it

[lethal quarry]

loll same

[calm atlas]

💀

[dusky pollen]

It was literally like 4 years ago at that point

I was sitting there like “wtf”

[lethal quarry]

the calculator section

[dusky pollen]

Calculus ain’t gonna help me here

[lethal quarry]

literally don’t need calculator

[warm canyon]

Good luck everyone, just know that you worked hard for this moment!

[lethal quarry]

i used it once

out of 44 questions

or smth

[dusky pollen]

I use calculator for everything just to check

[calm atlas]

eh I wasn't tryna do decimal mult

[dusky pollen]

Even 1+1

[lusty igloo]

how did we end up talking about the sat when the UCs dont even look at SAT/ACT lmaoo

[calm atlas]

💀

[lethal quarry]

yeah i meant first time around

lmao

[calm atlas]

UCs suck for that btw

[lethal quarry]

i’m gonna go sleep

peace

[calm atlas]

At least look at it bitches

[dusky pollen]

With subtraction/addition skills like mine, you need the additional verification 😎

[lethal quarry]

[dusky pollen]

🙏 🙏

[calm atlas]

[calm atlas]

I'm growing parsnips

[twin silo]

Undeclared l&s

[calm atlas]

omg!

[vestal plume]

i don't grow a lot veggies

[calm atlas]

whatchu grow

[vestal plume]

actually i fear telling u what i grow bc ik my friends lurk here and i don't want them to find my burner acc

i'll just generalize it to flowers

[calm atlas]

😹😹😹

I'm not much of a florist I like gardening and eating my hard work

[vestal plume]

home tomatoes are so good

[calm atlas]

Once this harvest hits I'm making parsnip mushroom soup

[dusky pollen]

that sounds so delicious

[calm atlas]

I sound like a Stardew valley individual

[vestal plume]

do you grow mushrooms too??

[dusky pollen]

i tried growing tomatoes once

turns out that every plant i touch dies

[hardy edge]

same

[calm atlas]

Nah can't grow well in my backyard

[vestal plume]

i have potatoes and fava beans in the bed rn

[dusky pollen]

valid though, stardew valley is great

[calm atlas]

i got avocado, mango, banana, potato, chilli, mint

Parsnips are the main one tho

[hardy edge]

i might get it tbh

[vestal plume]

has the mint also taken over ur yard

[hardy edge]

need a new game to grind

looks fun

[dusky pollen]

it's good

i love it

[calm atlas]

Nah it's in a separate isolated location 💀

[vestal plume]

phew

[calm atlas]

learned from my mistake the first time

[vestal plume]

mine is like

[dusky pollen]

spent 4 hrs a day on it during uc application season

[vestal plume]

overtaking the whole yard

😅

[calm atlas]

Yeah mint does that

[dusky pollen]

mint is the one plant i haven't managed to kill

[vestal plume]

wait do you live somewhere really warm?? i forget where you are

cause banana

we get a couple freezes each year so i don't think i can grow tropicals outdoors :/

[calm atlas]

SD 😹

bro banana has not given me shit yet

[late siren]

is the bay area even considered warm anymore after this crazy weather

[calm atlas]

I only get the flowers

[dusky pollen]

i never considered the bay area warm

the coldest winter i ever felt was a summer in san francisco or smth -mark twain

[vestal plume]

it's really warm right now

it's like between storms? so like high 50s

[dusky pollen]

high 50s is not really warm

[vestal plume]

well it is after high 40s for like 4 months 😠

[dusky pollen]

but this is coming from a person living where it regularly hits over 100 in the summer so

[vestal plume]

i proudly only wore one jacket today

[twin silo]

I grew a peach tree from a sapling but I never trimmed the branches so the fruit never develops properly

[dusky pollen]

maybe my perception is skewed

[vestal plume]

damn 💀

[dusky pollen]

if i have to wear a jacket, it's cold for me lol

[twin silo]

I want to try and trim the branches but I’m worried about damaging the tree

[vestal plume]

yeah our summers are like 80s but then you get the wild 100 day and no one here has AC

[calm atlas]

💀

We had a heat wave in sept

[vestal plume]

aw if you trim during the winter it should be fine the next spring

SEPT??

[young onyx]

everyone here has ac and highs are only like 90

[calm atlas]

Yeah

[vestal plume]

rip

ours are like aug

i remember that day our electricity went out too and there were like 3 fires

[twin silo]

Aw man is it too late for this year(I’m also in Bay Area)

[dusky pollen]

july/aug/sept gets pretty hot, yeah

[vestal plume]

honestly probably a little too late

[young shale]

Asian parents and not turning on the ac is killer

[vestal plume]

but trees are tough and you can always trim this winter

[dusky pollen]

i got like constant air quality warnings from wildfires my first few months of school

[calm atlas]

omg I got 3 old ass senior citizen trees

Orange apple and lemon

[young onyx]

lol set the ac 1 degree to low and I wont hear the end of it

[vestal plume]

why did you call them senior citizens

[dusky pollen]

fr does it really cost that much to use it? 😭

[calm atlas]

The lemon is so fucking good

[young shale]

Back in like 2016 the summers got up to 113 degrees or smtn it was crazy

[twin silo]

Damn ok I can still grow tomatoes and everything

[calm atlas]

I wrote about the Lemon tree in my essay

[young shale]

They rlly want us to die of heat stroke

[young onyx]

yes it uses a lot of energy

[vestal plume]

"just drink more water" bruh

ok ill go melt into the floor

[young shale]

"Go to the pool and swim"

[dusky pollen]

when i was little i used to get under my blanket when it was really hot so that i'd feel cooler in comparison after i got out 2 mins later

[vestal plume]

LMAOO

that's so awful

[young onyx]

but heating is way more ineffecient then ac so heating should cost a lot more

[young shale]

making the best out of ur circumstances 💀😭

[calm atlas]

older than me

[dusky pollen]

but what i found out over time is if you close the curtains and completely cover your bed with blankets during a heat wave, when you take the blankets off, your bed is completely cool

[calm atlas]

But that's not that old for a tree

[dusky pollen]

so i got a life hack out of it

[young onyx]

?

if you are closing your curtains all you are doing is blocking the sunlight

[calm atlas]

someone explain in NBA terms

[dusky pollen]

yeah but the bed stays cool

sunlight makes your bed hot

so when you lay down after this, the bed is really nice and cold

i never took physics so idk the science behind it but it works, trust

i did this during so many summers

[regal torrent]

stardew valley rizz, give someone an egg to attract them

[vestal plume]

idt that's physics

[dusky pollen]

thermodynamics

[young onyx]

I think thats logic

[vestal plume]

oh true

[calm atlas]

bro if only irl was so easy as Stardew valley

[vestal plume]

BRUH

[calm atlas]

All the fuck I got to do to get a girl in Stardew valley is give them an acorn or some shit

[regal torrent]

maybe that's how it worked back in the day

[calm atlas]

Leah

Leah the only answer

The forager

[dusky pollen]

sebastian ❤️

[regal torrent]

emily :)

[calm atlas]

Leah is the best and then the nerdy girl

[vestal plume]

i wish someone would give me acorns and eggs

[calm atlas]

Nerdy girl and the librarian are tied lowkey

[dusky pollen]

honestly based off of sprites alone, caroline >>>>

but you can't romance caroline

[calm atlas]

Bro Caroline married 💀

[dusky pollen]

i wish

sprites alone

not in-game lore lol

ain't tryna be a homewrecker

[calm atlas]

Caroline married to the shop owner you gonna start some town wide beef

[dusky pollen]

probably for the best that i stick with sebastian then 😭

[calm atlas]

Sebastian is a delinquent

[dusky pollen]

before i knew she was married i was so sad she wasn't romancable

[calm atlas]

😭

[vestal plume]

maybe it's like the 1960s so she probably doesn't wanna be with her husband anyways

[calm atlas]

Caroline is hot tho

[dusky pollen]

there's a fan theory that she cheated with the wizard

[calm atlas]

yeah

[dusky pollen]

and abigail is the wizard's kid

so anyone >>> pierre probably

[calm atlas]

I think the game hints to that

Pierre is important for the monetary gains tho

Oh wait what about Emily the blue hair

[dusky pollen]

have you ever done the joja cola route?

[calm atlas]

The bar girl

[calm atlas]

Naw I stick to my boy Pierre

[dusky pollen]

i like emily but i'm loyal to sebastian

[dusky pollen]

me too

i would have tried though if the joja cola guy wasn't so,,,, the way he is LMAO

he just feels so greasy

[calm atlas]

So businessman fat

Ong

Stardew valley is so fun

I wish I could have a Stardew valley life

No worries

Just farming and livin

[dusky pollen]

one time i got the maru heart event and the sebastian heart event back to back

[calm atlas]

But alas the industrial revolution!

[vestal plume]

same

[calm atlas]

Urban sprawl !

[dusky pollen]

we went stargazing and immediately back to back cutscenes with the motorcycle

i forget what the opening line for the game is exactly, but i am indeed tired of the burdens of modern life

which is why ucd >>>>>

[calm atlas]

[dusky pollen]

i want to do that

[calm atlas]

[calm atlas]

Lowkey Chris McCandless was right he was just stupid

[vestal plume]

[calm atlas]

[regal torrent]

[calm atlas]

Facts just keep breathing

[vestal plume]

yeah it's called into the wild

[calm atlas]

Into the wild

Just keep your heart pumping keep the blood flowing

[vestal plume]

not to be confused with the call of the wild (a better book)

[calm atlas]

Don't gotta worry about nothing else

[dusky pollen]

maybe the wilderness is more like minecraft than stardew valley

[calm atlas]

Anyone read the warriors cat series

[dusky pollen]

i did

[calm atlas]

I think the first book is into the wild

💀

[dusky pollen]

[calm atlas]

Nah but they had evidence other than him being bald

💀💀💀

[vestal plume]

thank you- and yeah you do 🤩 it really does make a diff

[vestal plume]

the thumbnail...

[calm atlas]

But it's hardcore canoeing! What if I lose it

Life savings down the drain

I'll just not lose it

[vestal plume]

that sounds rlly fun

[calm atlas]

I went two years ago with friends

[vestal plume]

if you put a wrist strap it might help

[calm atlas]

But now I'm built

Last time I went it sucked ass

[dusky pollen]

i was gonna suggest wrist strap yeah

tie it tight

[calm atlas]

So many portages

First day was 25 miles of canoeing 💀 cuz we couldn't find a propah campsite

[calm atlas]

Yeah I'll probably invest in that

[vestal plume]

💀 ???

i'd literally keel over and die

[calm atlas]

11am to 9pm 💀

9 to 5 fr

[vestal plume]

9-5 but ur going through unimaginable physical pain

[calm atlas]

bro

We started singing church songs the last hour

Amazing grace

[vestal plume]

😭

[calm atlas]

Cuz we couldn't take it no more

[vestal plume]

were you ready to go to heaven atp

[dusky pollen]

[calm atlas]

And Ed Sheeran

[vestal plume]

💀

[calm atlas]

And Bruno Mars

Perfect, and talking to the moon

[dusky pollen]

those were the exact two i thought of

[vestal plume]

that's so funny

[calm atlas]

and in great Lakes if ur not in ur tent by 8pm ur swarmed with the skeets

[vestal plume]

oh no

[dusky pollen]

probably because they're the only ed sheeran and bruno mars songs i know 💀

[calm atlas]

So it was rough that day

[vestal plume]

😭 😭

[calm atlas]

But then after that we were fine

[mellow smelt]

does anyone have historical data on the time of day UCLA and UCSD came out last year

[calm atlas]

One portage when we were bringing the canoes back into the lake, we fell into the mud and got stuck for half an hour

[vestal plume]

i went on vacation in feb and i forgor to reapply repellent after multiple stream crossings and i think i was eaten alive

[calm atlas]

I could feel frogs

[dusky pollen]

[calm atlas]

[obtuse flax]

[obtuse flax]

someone said ucla cs acceptance rate was 3.1%

[calm atlas]

[dusky pollen]

good luck, everyone 😭

[calm atlas]

It'll be fine tho

2.8*

[dusky pollen]

terrified as well

[obtuse flax]

is that for in state too😭😭

[vestal plume]

☠️

[mellow smelt]

its probably a bit higher because Berkeley EECS is 5.2% thats what i applied to

[obtuse flax]

wow 2.8

[calm atlas]

not that that helps but it's wtv

[vestal plume]

you were so evil for that

[obtuse flax]

💀💀💀

[calm atlas]

😈👹😈

[dusky pollen]

still kicking myself at applying berkeley cs

[vestal plume]

devious almost

[dusky pollen]

why

[mellow smelt]

youll get in dw

[dusky pollen]

why was i like that

[calm atlas]

I'm a devious individual in these late hours

[vestal plume]

its ok berkeley is so mid anyways

[frank ridge]

Berkeley EECS is 4.5%, UCLA is 3.8% due to more applicants

[mellow smelt]

oh right they get more applicants thats lame

[obtuse flax]

ion even know why i did eecs

[calm atlas]

Oh it might be 3.8 mb

[vestal plume]

do you really wanna go to a school with 500 warnmes a day

[obtuse flax]

deadass auto reject

[dusky pollen]

yes 😭

[calm atlas]

500 drug dealers

[snow creek]

im really nervous about tomorrow and cannot calm down

not sure what to do

[calm atlas]

lowkey UCB prolly smokes more weed than ucsc

[vestal plume]

actually i didn't see anything bad at cal when i was there

[mellow smelt]

nah but my friend, valedictorian at my school he got rejected from irvine and LA and got into EECS

[calm atlas]

Not that smoking weed is bad but wtv

[dusky pollen]

i actually really loved the trees there

[whole musk]

sleep?

[vestal plume]

i saw a lot of people really high off hard drugs at uw seattle lol

[dusky pollen]

fell in love with the campus

[snow creek]

how

[calm atlas]

udub is so pretty

[vestal plume]

the campus is pretty nice

[whole musk]

idk man

[calm atlas]

Wish it was a person

Then I could marry udub

[vestal plume]

bro i think the college apps are getting to u

chill

[obtuse flax]

just found out i wasn’t getting val or sal cause someone at my school took PE over summer 🙁

[frank ridge]

UCs are so random lol I got waitlisted at Davis but regents at Berkeley

[vestal plume]

i think we need to put some grass on your hand

[calm atlas]

why did I get 4 skulls for that was a w take

[snow creek]

ucbs has the best campus

[mellow smelt]

AINT NO WAY

[obtuse flax]

😭😭😭😭

[snow creek]

thats insane wtf

[mellow smelt]

thats so lame bruh

[dusky pollen]

regents at berkeley 😭 congrats

[snow creek]

i wonder why davis is doing that

[vestal plume]

if you're val you can probably get away with murder

[calm atlas]

Davis think they the shiet

[mellow smelt]

15% of those who get waitlisted get accepted

[snow creek]

no it doesnt mean anything

[obtuse flax]

at least i’m rank 1 on my transcript 😀

[frank ridge]

Davis doesn't yield protect according to like everything so

It's probably because I applied CS

[calm atlas]

Bro casually flexing val status 👹

[frank ridge]

And supply vs demand

[vestal plume]

they just dont like u unless you touch grass

[snow creek]

ohh yeah maybe

[dusky pollen]

nice!!

[calm atlas]

I'm so far from val but my class size is like 600

[vestal plume]

yay!

[calm atlas]

Good job tho

[mellow smelt]

do you guys use quartiles, deciles, percentiles, or exact class rank?

[snow creek]

cs is super competitive everywhere

[calm atlas]

Val is crazy

[obtuse flax]

not val tho💀 so ain’t flexin much

[vague moth]

does ucsc yield protect

[snow creek]

and its pretty much a gamble lol

[obtuse flax]

i just wna get CS at one of the 3 tom

[calm atlas]

You are val in my heart

[snow creek]

nah none of the UCs do

[dusky pollen]

my hs does exact rank out of like 530

[calm atlas]

The real val

[vestal plume]

i didnt think any of the ucs yield protected

[obtuse flax]

ily

[vestal plume]

its just that davis waitlisters were pretty upset last friday (?)

[snow creek]

yea

[calm atlas]

bro everyone gets upset about reject or so

[snow creek]

which is understandable

[grand bloom]

what's the max I can get out of ucsc

[calm atlas]

Wl

[mellow smelt]

davis def does yield protection otherwise all 7 of my friends with 4.4+ gpas wouldnt have gotten waitlisted for mecheng

[grand bloom]

they've emailed me twice saying I got 8k then 40k

[snow creek]

sir its illegal

[calm atlas]

Bottom line is it's out of your control so need to make it get you sad

[grand bloom]

can I get more

[snow creek]

to do yield protection in california

[calm atlas]

Stoicism

[dusky pollen]

this girl at my school got so tilted over davis reject that she made a whole list of everyone she knew who applied + the decision

[mellow smelt]

nah its undetectable tho

[vestal plume]

bruh

[dusky pollen]

don't let it get to you to that extent

[snow creek]

not everything is abt stats tho

[vestal plume]

💀

[obtuse flax]

💀💀

[snow creek]

💀

[vestal plume]

help

[dusky pollen]

it'll all work out in the end

[obtuse flax]

that is wild

[mellow smelt]

but 7 of them tho-

[calm atlas]

bay area activities

[snow creek]

thats insane, sucks for her

[dusky pollen]

not even bay area 😭

[snow creek]

to be that upset over it bro

[vestal plume]

💀

[dusky pollen]

it was such an invasion of privacy

[calm atlas]

a2c starter pack

[snow creek]

its a college rejection 💀 its gonna hurt at first but you shouldnt take it that deeply

[dusky pollen]

she was like "wanna see my list?" i said "wtf you made a list???"

[vestal plume]

HUH

[calm atlas]

💀

[vestal plume]

💀

[whole musk]

💀

does she have like their GPa in that list too

i've heard stories

[mellow smelt]

bro i just tell all my friends to tell me their statuses and if anyone asks i hold the info

[vestal plume]

she has their whole app on her list

[obtuse flax]

does CMU SCS or UCLA CS have a lower acceptance rate

[dusky pollen]

i think just name + decision but we all know everyone's general rank anyway

[mellow smelt]

i have one of those lists lmao bc we dont get to know who val will be until next month so im calculating it out

[snow creek]

yeah but some ppl need to understand that with the UCs its not about stats but the whole picture

[whole musk]

bro

[mellow smelt]

i got it figured out tho

[snow creek]

you need to present some sort of theme that relates to your majors and do smth that makes u stand out

[vestal plume]

💀

[dusky pollen]

funniest part is that she didn't have good stats either though lmao

[snow creek]

otherwise ur one of the thousands of ppl who do the same shit and have the same gpa

[dusky pollen]

like bottom 25% of the school

[mellow smelt]

...

[calm atlas]

Bro in 4 years that's not even gonna work

Plab

[mellow smelt]

whats your criteria for val? ours is gpa and only gpa

[calm atlas]

In 4 years it's gonna be a lottery on god

[dusky pollen]

ours too

[snow creek]

it prob alr is

[vestal plume]

how do you know ppls gpa 💀

[dusky pollen]

cure cancer and you're in

[frank ridge]

UCLA gets more applicants so just AR doesn't tell the full story

[snow creek]

i wouldnt be surprised

[whole musk]

isn't the point of val just to see who has the highest gpa

[vestal plume]

fan behavior

[rotund socket]

All the ivy kids at my school are like dw abt ucs

[frank ridge]

CMU is more selective but probably UCLA CS by AR numbers

[obtuse flax]

mmm that’s true

[calm atlas]

NACHOOOOOOOO

I love you nacho

[rotund socket]

Lild mfer u guys r going to mit stanford cornell etc

[mellow smelt]

[vestal plume]

reddit mobile

[snow creek]

[calm atlas]

They wanna use our work but discredit us for studying it!!!!

[rotund socket]

Thank God the ucs tmrw admit by college not major

[snow creek]

[rotund socket]
