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

[frigid grotto]

well im just telling you

you are free to pursue it

especially if you head your own firm it can pay well

personally i dropped out immediately to cc

[limpid patrol]

I just don't think I need some random person telling me what to pursue or why I shouldn't pursue what I'm interested in

what I choose to do is up to me

[wispy root]

Turmoil in the atc server

[vagrant briar]

You have committed a cardinal sin

[limpid patrol]

person deleted their own messages fyi so I don't sound like a dick

[tender elm]

“Please do not call a2c atc”

[eager violet]

[pale dust]

@tender elm i think immma be a triton

[tender elm]

ayooooo

congrats!!

TRITON UP

[tired oar]

oo

[pale dust]

sixth college baby!!!

💥💥🔥🔥🔥

💥💥

[tender elm]

ZAMN

[pale dust]

lmao

[tender elm]

It keeps getting better

[pale dust]

are u in sixth too?

[tender elm]

nope

Roosevelt

[pale dust]

that’s crazy 😭

isn’t it hard asf

[tender elm]

it is

[pale dust]

u like it tho?

[tender elm]

but its doable

no

i hate it

fuck Elanor Roosevelt

[pale dust]

lmaoo not ur too choice?

top*

[tender elm]

Was my #4

[pale dust]

no way

[tender elm]

didnt do enough research

[pale dust]

i got my top this year which is weird

[tender elm]

im glad i could spare a few ppl from the MMW sequence

[pale dust]

i put rosevelt dead last

i’m so glad i actually researched

i looked up each building each ge req and everything

[tender elm]

yea i got a ton of ppl to change their rankings bc of my experience

thank god

[pale dust]

i saw bro you’re the goat

how even are the dorms in rosevelt? are they old

[grand kernel]

i was very lucky to get muir for sd

[tender elm]

they were built in 2003

[tender elm]

Ayeeee

[grand kernel]

i did not expect to get my first choice

[tender elm]

nicee

[pale dust]

goated college @grand kernel

[tender elm]

Muir has amazing GEs

6th and Muir are at the top

[pale dust]

yeah i was surprised to get into sixth

two of my friends did too tho

[grand kernel]

(not going to SD but still very surprised)

[limpid patrol]

thinking about ucsd as a transfer college

[pale dust]

all my friends got into ucsd

at my school

[grand kernel]

them releasing the waitlist by accident was both funny and unnerving lmao

[pale dust]

it was crazy

i thought i was gonna get rejected tho

[grand kernel]

because i didn't get anything from the waitlist so i knew i was either an accept or a rejct

[pale dust]

ucsd was my third choice

lmao

[grand kernel]

second for me

[limber magnet]

Same but then I got rejected

[pale dust]

i want to do game design

[grand kernel]

i want to do virus design

cough

[pale dust]

so i’m doing icam at ucsd hopefully i learn enough to get a career

[grand kernel]

i want to study viruses

[stray apex]

y r u back

[pale dust]

interesting that’s a smart person career

[grand kernel]

academia wooooo

time to be poor until i get tenure!

*if

[vernal agate]

I thought you want to do biomed?

[pale dust]

i think if your motivated you’ll be successful fr

anyone

[limpid patrol]

not anymore

I looked at medicine through rose tinted glasses

[grand kernel]

definitely motivated, viruses are insanely cool

[vernal agate]

Are you still in history?

[pale dust]

what’s your top choice tho

[grand kernel]

UCLA

[pale dust]

omg you got in?

[grand kernel]

which is why i'm not attending SD

yes

[pale dust]

omfg

my dream school bro good job!

[grand kernel]

❤️ thank you

[limpid patrol]

undeclared

[vernal agate]

At the point of looking at civil, I’d honestly recommend checking Mech E

It covers some stuff of civil but a more broad scope

[limpid patrol]

what do mech e majors do

[vernal agate]

“Mechanical engineers design power-producing machines, such as electric generators, internal combustion engines, and steam and gas turbines, as well as power-using machines, such as refrigeration and air-conditioning systems”

[pale dust]

i wanted to get into desma at ucla

but i’ll be doing the exact same thing at ucsd

[vernal agate]

Tldr: build machines / systems

[limpid patrol]

sounds nothing like what I want to do in civ e

which is work in transportation and pedestrian accessibility

[regal torrent]

physics

[grand kernel]

UCSD and UCLA are both insane schools

[vernal agate]

That can still apply

[grand kernel]

getting into UCSD is no small feat

[pale dust]

yeah but la is best for game design and i live an hr away, id love to come home a lot

[vernal agate]

A lot of mech E knowledge covers what you learn in civil

• other majors

So you get that broad knowledge

Start wide, narrow later

[pale dust]

sd is 4 hours away from my house 😭

[grand kernel]

jesus

have you been doing game design in HS?

[vernal agate]

I’d recommend asking a counselor for better clarity @limpid patrol but I HIGHLY recommend looking at Mech E as an option imho

[limpid patrol]

ty

[vernal agate]

Mech E also covers a ton in industries like biomed. It’s a JOAT major

[pale dust]

no i’ve been doing comp sci principles game design which is like kindergarten code.org type shit

[grand kernel]

ah

[pale dust]

i rlly wanted to do 3d modeling rigging and animation

[grand kernel]

i'm sort of in the same boat as you, i haven't got any labwork experience but i like reading textbooks 😂

[pale dust]

which i could go to ucsc for but the housing crisis and shit makes me not want to

[grand kernel]

dude i've seen videos of gun rigging/animation and it's so crazy

[pale dust]

i haven’t done much, i only have an ipad but i love it

[vernal agate]

UCSC area is hella pricy

[pale dust]

way to pricey , id be homeless

[vernal agate]

Are you looking at SD instead?

[pale dust]

yeah

[vernal agate]

Idk how bad it is there

I mean most are kinda ass ngl

Housing is just bad 💀

[pale dust]

it’s very pricey but i doubt id be homeless here

[vernal agate]

UCSB is worse

[pale dust]

ucsc is another story

ucsb is so beautiful tho i went on a field trip this year

[vernal agate]

Any beach side properties typically don’t get maintained

So they are often the WORSE properties

• more expensive

[grand kernel]

UCLA's building new housing innit?

i remember the rep who came to visit our school said that LA would guarantee housing for all 4 years

[pale dust]

i hope not smh

replying tho poofy

too*

[grand kernel]

oh lmao i was so confused 😂

[pale dust]

they do

[grand kernel]

also they're in a more dangerous area imo

[pale dust]

san diego is pretty safe in my opinion for the most part

[grand kernel]

prone to landslides, large waves, flooding, etc

[pale dust]

yeah that you’re right

but i haven’t seen much of that in san diego

[grand kernel]

with the current state of the climate you never know 😂

[pale dust]

my sisters dad lives out there so they’ll visit a lot and i won’t get lonely 😭

[limpid patrol]

@vernal agate you really might be right on target

all this time I thought I'd have to drop out go to CC or transfer but turns out might have to do any of those things

[grand kernel]

my best friend of 8 years got in with me so we chillin in a dorm together 😂

[limpid patrol]

I can stay right where I am

[vernal sail]

Sry it’s a bad habit

[pale dust]

if i’m still obsessed with ucla i might try to transfer but i’m sure i’ll love ucsd

[grand kernel]

have you seen the sunsets at the Salk Institute?

[pale dust]

i haven’t been to ucsd yet

[grand kernel]

hang on lemme get a pic

[pale dust]

probably not until april

[grand kernel]

at the fall equinox

[pale dust]

aww that’s so pretty

[tender elm]

salk

[grand kernel]

salk

okay i gotta go now, see y'all later!

[pale dust]

this one mine from san diego

i’m abt to see it every day tho 💅🏽

[vestal turret]

exactly be proud of it cuz others didnt get in 🔫🔫

[pale dust]

i’m definitely proud and great ful it is really hard

[calm atlas]

Santa Barbara is best college town in cali?

[pale dust]

just a little sad cause you know i looked forward to la for 7 years, and uci for a year cause i found my passion for game design. Since ucsd doesn’t have my major i’m a little scared

i hope i learn enough to fulfill my career goals

[vestal turret]

i understand mhm

u didnt get in uci?

[pale dust]

nope 😦

[vestal turret]

CAN WE SWITCH

:(

[pale dust]

lmao i wish fr

[vestal turret]

🔫

[pale dust]

uci actually has my major

and it’s in a better area for me

[vestal turret]

and ucsd is very strong w my major too

[pale dust]

damn bro 😭

no where even waitlisted me

they just said fuck u

[vestal turret]

i got fucked by ucla HAAHHAHA

even though i really wantd to go there

and i got wl by sd

[proud field]

is it too late to switch my alternate and first choices for berkeley?

[serene nymph]

yeah i think the deadline was end of january

[latent surge]

lmao this is so wrong

[proud field]

sad, thanks tho

[halcyon quartz]

not really bro you take alot of the same courses

[latent surge]

mostly like the classes about statics and deformable solids

[halcyon quartz]

the drafting classes too

mech eng take those

[latent surge]

u don't really do much of the civilE like the actual civil stuff

lmfao

im just saying that saying that the mechE degree will cover what Enunciated wants to do is wrong

[halcyon quartz]

well you cant get a civil engineer job with a mech degree

[latent surge]

like yeah u take CAD class and statics and deformables etc.

but that's missing the point

[halcyon quartz]

but they do overlap coursework wise quite abit

[latent surge]

lmfao

I am a meche major with civilE friends and i know what the courses overlap is

it's not that similar

u are in high school

[halcyon quartz]

iv taken a few engr courses

[latent surge]

lmfao

lmfaoooo

[halcyon quartz]

iv also looked at the courses for me and civil

idk im just saying mech engr does overlap into civil

[latent surge]

I am looking at the course program for civil at MSU it is not that similar

there's overlaps but it is not as simple as mechanical engineers can just do what civil engineers do

there's a lot of classes that are civil specific

[vivid vortex]

ucla debt is so sad bro

[hearty dagger]

How much harder is Berkeley to get into then Irvine? Seems kinda close kn terms of acceptance rate?

[vivid vortex]

I rly want to goooo but 284k ug debt is crazy

[marsh cove]

When is Berkeley

[rough gyro]

30th

with the ivies

[marsh cove]

Can it come out before the 30 th?

[sterile saffron]

Nah they specifically like to release w the ivies because “public ivy” or whatnot

So highly unlikely

[quiet night]

damn I didn't know davis was that high for oos

I was worrying for nothing

honestly I shoulda applied irvine

[vernal agate]

I mean like more you learn a tiny bit of multiple majors

And can still work in that industry

Whereas, if you do biomed, you can’t really go into civil

[hearty dagger]

Yield

Also I’m not sure if these numbers are 100% accurate but they should be p close

[quiet night]

alr

[hearty dagger]

Did you end up getting in?

[vernal agate]

Like of course if you are 100% sure to do civil, then do civil

But if you are an undergrad, imho the best JOAT major is mechanical

Then just concentrate via a masters

[quiet night]

ye

[hearty dagger]

Awesome, congrats!!!!

[vestal turret]

🔫🔫

[quiet night]

thanks

[hearty dagger]

Believe

[calm atlas]

Oh wow didn't know they released those

[vestal turret]

[finite furnace]

how wld yall rank the ucs for cs

[old ember]

idk if y’all remember me and @strange plume

but we were just playing with y’all

while we did get into UCLA

[strange plume]

I am not a CS major

[old ember]

our GPAs 3.96 and 3.92 (UW) respectively

[halcyon quartz]

Are u out of state

[vivid vortex]

yes. 71k coa

bro ZERO aid

nothing

not 1 cent

[halcyon quartz]

oh dang

An you reject so you save a pot for me

🥺🥺

[vivid vortex]

LOL

I’m still considering it

my COA for all schools is high

[quiet night]

that's only possible at UCB

[halcyon quartz]

Chloe please

I need a spot

I’m in ststae

[halcyon quartz]

no I got waitlisted at ucla

[vivid vortex]

For 10k 😊 /j

[halcyon quartz]

Chloe.

we go way back

[quiet night]

you didn't get the joke lmao

[calm atlas]

doesnt matter, she needs the money

so instead of being 500k in debt she'll be 400k in debt

!!

[vivid vortex]

ong

I threw my loan into a student loan calculator and it said it’ll be 938k

LMFAOOO

[quiet night]

lmao

they bouta make you a negative millionaire

[vivid vortex]

Inaccurate but funny

[calm atlas]

what the fuck

including med school

or just undergrad

[vivid vortex]

Both

[calm atlas]

pls pls ask ur uncle

[quiet night]

honestly you gotta start grinding for those med school scholarships now lmao

[calm atlas]

even interets free family is ebtter than borrowing from banks

[quiet night]

now that we've been on a2c we gotta start putting in 10x effort with this shit

[vivid vortex]

yeah I’m also gonna ask my parents again about the house

[vivid vortex]

interest free loan is genuinely the best case scenario atp

[calm atlas]

orrr he pays for it outright

[vivid vortex]

Idt that’ll happen

conversion rate is crazy remember lmao

they have the money but like it seems a lot more to them yk

5.3 mill rand lmfao

and like 15 rand is 1 loaf of very nice bread so idk just competitively it’ll feel like I’m asking for an insane amount

especially when stellenbosch/UCT are like 5k for 4 years and they’re the best schools

I WILL TRY

[west sorrel]

Lmfao is there a a2mc?

[quiet night]

who tf knows

I'll just be back here in 4 years

[frigid grotto]

shoulda picked muir

[calm atlas]

ill help

[tender elm]

dababy name change

as long as ERC and revelle are last, u should be fine

Muir and 6th are always the most coveted though

[frigid grotto]

6th for the housing or ge's?

[tender elm]

both

[frigid grotto]

i looked at the ge's and it seems muir is easiest in general followed by warren but only for engineers

6th and 7th seem to have similar type of breadth based ges

[tender elm]

year 6th 7th and 8th are all pretty similar overall

[frigid grotto]

but 6th and 7th clearly outdo the others in terms of housing

[tender elm]

yep

and now 8th as well

Marshall will be the next to get the full face lift

[frigid grotto]

is 8th gonna have the new towers?

[tender elm]

so im told

[tender elm]

yep

[regal torrent]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1050860010827173898/1086475698736205874/image.png

[tender elm]

this will be 8th

[limpid patrol]

benz

[tender elm]

too real

[limpid patrol]

does ucsd have structural or civil engineering

[frigid grotto]

it's sort of unusual to have such high dorms

[limpid patrol]

I'm compiling my transfer list

after this quarter I'm gonna schedule an appointment with my advisor

[frigid grotto]

like I haven't seen much others with housing this tall

[regal torrent]

ik it has structural engineering, one of my buddies does that

[tender elm]

yea

structural yes

civil i dont think so

[violet hemlock]

how tall will the towers be? i live on the 8th out of 10 floors of my dorm

[limpid patrol]

what's the diff. btwn structural and civil

[tender elm]

14 stories

[frigid grotto]

looks possibly 16 or taller

[violet hemlock]

view on top floors will go crazy

[gaunt oasis]

@limpid patrol hey ik ur planning on transferring out but did u like ur time at ucr? is it a nice campus, nice ppl, etc? i’m most likely going there

[frigid grotto]

6th college is already crazy nice too

I doubt there is a college with much better housing

[limpid patrol]

I loved it

nice campus nice ppl

[regal torrent]

seems like structural engineering is a more mathy and physicsy version of civil engineering

[tender elm]

Structural engineering and civil engineering are two branches of engineering that are closely related, but they have different focuses.

Structural engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with the design, analysis, and construction of structures that support or resist loads. Structural engineers work on a wide range of structures, including buildings, bridges, towers, and tunnels. They use their knowledge of physics, mechanics, and materials science to design structures that are safe, durable, and functional. Structural engineers also assess the safety and integrity of existing structures, and make recommendations for repairs and upgrades.

Civil engineering, on the other hand, is a broader field that includes structural engineering as one of its sub-disciplines. Civil engineering focuses on the design, construction, and maintenance of the built environment, including infrastructure such as roads, bridges, airports, and water supply systems. Civil engineers also work on projects related to the environment, such as water and wastewater treatment, and they may also be involved in urban planning and land development.

In summary, structural engineering is a sub-discipline of civil engineering that specifically deals with the design and analysis of structures, while civil engineering is a broader field that encompasses many other areas, including structural engineering.

[gaunt oasis]

alr cool tyty

[limpid patrol]

not as competitive as the other ECs but the professors are great at teaching

lets just say that if ucr offered civil e. I'd be staying

[gaunt oasis]

mhm

[limpid patrol]

I have a really valid reason (IMHO) for planning to drop out and go to CC and transfer out though

[gaunt oasis]

yea i heard the professors r super nice

[limpid patrol]

I'm going to go to CC for as long as I need to to get junior credits

[gaunt oasis]

i wish u the best of luck with getting where u wanna go

[limpid patrol]

thanks

I'm scheduling an appointment w/ an advisor first before I do anything I'll regret though

[gaunt oasis]

ya smart. any particular school(s) u had in mind that has a good civil e program?

[limpid patrol]

UC Irvine, CSU SLO, Cal Poly Pomona, San Diego State, UCLA, UC Berkeley (haha I said I wouldn't but I honestly would), USC, UCSD

[gaunt oasis]

oo yeah all of those r rlly good choices

[limpid patrol]

Cal State Long Beach

Cal state northridge as well

so

[quiet night]

I'm excited to see 8th

I hope they have dorm tours

[tender elm]

i doubt it by triton day

everything is still under construction

they should be wrapping it up soon tho

but they also dont do dorm tours bc of privacy

[quiet night]

damn

but no one's living in them lmao

I wish they had at least some official videos of 8th dorms so that I can decide whether to go to UCSD or not

[tender elm]

they do have some teasers

[quiet night]

are those the pictures you sent?

[tender elm]

just look at pictures of 6th college

its identical

[calm atlas]

idk what the hell happened but yesterday my uci portal said congratulations and today it says ive been waitlisted

[tender elm]

deadass

[calm atlas]

i got into sd so im happy

[tender elm]

💀

[calm atlas]

but like

[tender elm]

oh nice

[calm atlas]

what the hell happened

i think my brain broke

[tender elm]

go call em up on monday

[quiet night]

alright

[tender elm]

6th is so nice

[quiet night]

"congratulations, you've been waitlisted!"

[tender elm]

trust

[regal grove]

thats not a thing

[quiet night]

alr bet

[quiet night]

ik I'm joking

[calm atlas]

no like

[regal grove]

if it starts with thank you

ur fucked

[calm atlas]

it had confetti and all

[flat storm]

I got waitlisted at Davis last week, for Computer Science… would it help my case if I changed my major through emailing the admissions office/utilizing the additional comments

[regal grove]

r u sure

[limber magnet]

so real

[regal grove]

check ur portal rn

and see if wl

[calm atlas]

ok

ye it says wl

[regal grove]

...

[regal torrent]

if you're being deadass then it's a major fuckup on their side

[regal grove]

yea

[regal torrent]

be sure to contact them

[calm atlas]

i will

im gonna ring them up

[tender elm]

not now

its the weekend

they not in the office

[regal torrent]

email will go through

[tender elm]

yea

[limber magnet]

dang what

[regal torrent]

accept to wl, that's fucking terrible

[tender elm]

itll be a lil backlogged but theyll get to it

[flat storm]

@tender elm do you recommend emailing the admissions office to appeal my waitlist decision? and regarding a major change?

[tender elm]

appeal what

u wanna ask them to change it to an acceptance?

[flat storm]

I heard from previous years people had an option to write an essay

[tender elm]

is this for ucsd?

or UCD

bc UCD did have a loci type thing last year but they got rid of it this year

[flat storm]

yeah I was talking about UCD

most likely most colleges got rid of that system

[quiet night]

I wish I could appeal UCLA lmao

[flat storm]

you can!

[quiet night]

not for rejection I don't think

[flat storm]

but the chances of it being overturned could be low

[quiet night]

I can't do it unless I made a mistake or if they did

can't add new ECs and stuff

[tender elm]

you can appeal if u have new and compelling info

[quiet night]

not if it's for new grades or ECs

according to UCLA website: "High grades received in the senior year, recently acquired awards or additional extracurricular activities are not a basis for the reversal of a decision..."

[tender elm]

oh well

[quiet night]

no point

unless I solve a disease it's not worth it

[flat storm]

gotta get to work 😭

[quiet night]

time to start grinding lmfao

got only a month

[flat storm]

I know a dude with a 3.7 GPA who got accepted to UCLA with not much extracurriculars

Admissions this year is all BS

[quiet night]

damn

honestly I didn't think I would get accepted to any of the UCs tho

just grateful I'm not trapped in Ohio

[flat storm]

which ones did you get accepted to?

[quiet night]

Davis and SD

[unique shoal]

I haven't gotten accepted to any

[quiet night]

you'll get Berk and SB

[unique shoal]

I hope

[quiet night]

less hope, more guarantee

nah the cow is

at least you can milk it

got free refreshments all day on Davis

[calm atlas]

twinning because none of the UCs gave me aid (OOS)

[quiet night]

same bro

[calm atlas]

like UCSD really had to put down $0/yr for financial aid

salt on the wound

[quiet night]

honestly I wonder if Case western is more affordable at this point lmao

[calm atlas]

probably 😭

[quiet night]

I got 27k scholarship from them, but I feel like they're trying to pull me in

[pale dust]

i will only have to pay 10,000 and i think the cal grant covers it

[vivid vortex]

OMG SAME

[vivid vortex]

Bro same

[quiet night]

I have no clue what to do 😭

I would rather go to UCD but the cost is so much better at Case

if I switch to instate though I think UCs would be less expensive

but who knows if I'll be able to switch residency

[frigid grotto]

who cares about uci, you have ucsd

[quiet night]

well I mean it's pretty bad if he got accepted and they changed it to waitlist accidentally

[flat storm]

Congrats! 🥳

sadly I got waitlisted from both 😭

[quiet night]

thanks!

damn

you'll get in

[vivid vortex]

UCLA 71k
CWRU 52k

[flat storm]

woah nicee

[quiet night]

true, but if you are able to switch to instate UCLA would be 71k first year and then 40k the next 3

[frigid grotto]

literally makes no sense

[quiet night]

for a much nicer location

[pale dust]

lucky

[frigid grotto]

very hard to switch residency

[vivid vortex]

It’s nearly impossible to switch to in state I checked

[quiet night]

ye that's the problem

I think I'd be able to switch instate but idk if it's a guarantee

parents pay california taxes

[vivid vortex]

wtf

[flat storm]

hopefully! I heard Davis accepts a lot of people who are waitlisted.. UCSD on the other hand, I hope I end up getting accepted (my dream school)

[frigid grotto]

you should have answered in state at the beginning if you might have qualified

[regal grove]

is there really nothing u can send in for ucsd

[quiet night]

well I personally am not instate

I'm oos

not sure about parents tho

[frigid grotto]

oh

[tender elm]

idk

prob not

[quiet night]

ye good luck def

[flat storm]

You the same dude who was accepted to UCR?

[frigid grotto]

idt ucsd considers loci

[pale dust]

no

[pale dust]

ucsd and ucsc

[covert sorrel]

I was accepted to UCSC with the honors invite and the dean’s award, but I’ve been rejected/WL from every other UC so far - I’m an intl cs applicant. Is this just UC randomness or was my application a little weak?

[flat storm]

ohhh dope

congrats

[pale dust]

tysm

[frigid grotto]

possibly it's gpa based. i noticed ppl with high gpas getting those

and major

[calm atlas]

ucs are so random this year and what sucks about this whole thing is that berkeley is releasing dead last

[flat storm]

I should of applied to Berkeley to test my chances

RIP

[covert sorrel]

ty all

ig I’ll keep hopes up for other decisions

[quiet night]

berkeley being annoying

[calm atlas]

its like with all these waitlists and stuff, i wont know if they meant anything until berkeley releases

if i get waitlisted there then ucsd it is

[covert sorrel]

it sucks bc I’ve lived in the US for 10+ years now but I’m still considered intl

[calm atlas]

they were the only ones that clutched up for me

[calm atlas]

wait how come?

are you on a visa?

[covert sorrel]

I don’t have my gc yet, still on H4

[calm atlas]

Awww

I know some people like that too

they are Canadian citizens waiting for their greencard

[covert sorrel]

ohh ok

yeah it sucks bc I thought my app was kinda okay

ig not enough

[calm atlas]

That sucks I’m sorry about that

[covert sorrel]

congrats on UCSD btw!

[calm atlas]

Thank you 🙂

I’ve still gotten a ton of waitlists which is kind of upsetting

[covert sorrel]

righttt

so cryptic

[calm atlas]

I got WL at UCI, UCLA, UCSC, Davis

[unique shoal]

I got rejected uci ucla

Wl ucsc

[covert sorrel]

like we already feel like we’re not enough, but this makes it feel SO much more out of our hands

[unique shoal]

Wl ucd

[calm atlas]

Yes exactly

Truly speaking there are just too many qualified people for them to take

[covert sorrel]

that’s true

[unique shoal]

I thought I would at least get into 1 UC

[calm atlas]

Its just the idea that I worked this hard to not get what I want

It really sucks

[covert sorrel]

exactly

[unique shoal]

U got ucsd

[calm atlas]

Have you considered appealing UCI?

[unique shoal]

Not really cuz I don't think I would get it overturned

[calm atlas]

Ik but that was one of many :((

[unique shoal]

I have 0 so far

1 acceptance

Which is a dafety

Safety*

[calm atlas]

I mean it wouldn’t hurt to try 🤷

[regal torrent]

i expected the unexpected but was surprised by the expected

[calm atlas]

If you achieved something significant since application it could actually work.

[unique shoal]

I didn't tho

Oops

[calm atlas]

My science fair partner and I qualified for ISEF last year and he got rejected from UCI but appealed it

[unique shoal]

Didn't mean to reply

[calm atlas]

And it worked!

[unique shoal]

I didn't do shit

Cuz I was working during school year

[calm atlas]

You can also mention extenuating circumstances.

[unique shoal]

It's all good tho

Jc ftw

It's j embarrassing tho

Could've done nothing in hs

And I still would've ended up at a jc

[flat storm]

Same 😭

[calm atlas]

No I get it. That’s how I felt with Cal Poly Pomona

I didn’t check my portal for updates so I didn’t send some form and because of that, they just rejected me.

I feel bad for wasting my parents money on it and losing it for just being irresponsible.

[finite furnace]

sb coming monday right?

but apparently their cs program has limited space bruh

[late zinc]

is bio hard to get into at ucsb?

[flat storm]

hey man, you got in UCSD!

[late zinc]

tuesday i think

[flat storm]

that’s good enough

your parents are prob proud

[unique shoal]

Bro sb pls

At least give me my alt sb

Pls

I cant take anymore rejections

[late zinc]

i’m praying for sb 🙏

anyone hear about there bio major? is it competitive

[pale dust]

it sucks being rejected and like 3 ppl i know in my school got into ucla 😭

[flat storm]

same bro

[regal grove]

cap

[late zinc]

the process is so random. my friend got into all 3, ucsd, uci, and ucla and he wasn’t any different from us

[flat storm]

I hope I get into SB (im tired of these waitlists)

[pale dust]

so annoying fr

[regal torrent]

my decisions actually make sense which i was NOT anticipating

it's not random at all

ucsd accept, uci accept, ucla wl

[flat storm]

that’s cap

[pale dust]

i just wanted to get into uci so i could t do game design

[regal grove]

did u get rejected or wl

[finite furnace]

since i got wl for uci, they're gonna ask for my 1st sem senior grades right?

[regal grove]

no

[flat storm]

Only Davis does that

[finite furnace]

ohh

[regal grove]

i will ask them if i can still send it

just in case

[unique shoal]

Monday is sb?

Also when is next wave of cal poly slo?

[flat storm]

Tuesday

wait idk

[finite furnace]

ig for wl uci the only thing we can do is appeal right

[finite furnace]

ppl saying wednsday

[regal grove]

no

u cannot appeal a wl

if u get rejected from wl

u can appeal that

[finite furnace]

ahh

then is there anything we can do or nah

[regal grove]

no

[flat storm]

and if you get rejected?

[regal grove]

just submit ur intent to be on the wl

[calm atlas]

I wish UCs were more open to LOCIs

[regal grove]

then find another place to go to

[unique shoal]

% to make it off ucd waitlidt?

[regal grove]

is this the same nacho

[calm atlas]

Its so stupid how you just opt to be on the waitlist and have no other communication.

[flat storm]

nah you can still appeal a rejection lmaoo 🤣

[regal grove]

as 💀 🔫

[flat storm]

That’s what I’m saying bro

[regal grove]

u cannot appeal a rejection of ur appeal

[calm atlas]

Appeal is probably best for rejections.

But also UCI takes a ton of people of the waitlist.

[finite furnace]

its hella risky but make sure ur u rlly wanna do it if not then dont imo

[pale dust]

but how would i do it smh

appeal it

[calm atlas]

There were like 7 seniors from my school that got off.

[pale dust]

cause i want to go to uci

[flat storm]

that’s not what I meant lol

[finite furnace]

idk if thats tru cuz isnt the admit rate for wl rlly low according to online sites

[regal grove]

u asked here if i u get rejected from an appeal

[calm atlas]

I mean I’m just speaking from what I’ve seen

[regal grove]

it varies by year

i say about 20% get off

[flat storm]

you can appeal a rejection

holy shit dude

[regal grove]

yes

[calm atlas]

If you’re instate I bet chances off the WL are higher

Lucky for me lmao

But honestly, if Berkeley can clutch up in the end, I’d be the happiest person in the world.

[finite furnace]

how good is davis cs program?

[unique shoal]

Idk

Top 50

[cerulean anchor]

man at this point im just trying to get not riverside

[calm atlas]

All the UCs have pretty good CS programs honestly

[unique shoal]

Bro

[calm atlas]

If you care about rank I’m not sure, but Davis super close to SFO, so I’m sure that helps

[pale dust]

y’all how do you appeal it

i don’t have any new info

[finite furnace]

sameeee

[unique shoal]

I cant believe I got flat out rejected from San diegp

Santa Barbara pls

[calm atlas]

Does UCSD allow appeals?

[tender elm]

For rejects yea

[cerulean anchor]

fr gonna get that tour

[unique shoal]

What is ucsb cs acceptance rate?

[tender elm]

Ong

[calm atlas]

I want to meet the Cat in the Hat

[finite furnace]

apparently its in single digits

[unique shoal]

Fuck my lfie

[finite furnace]

but dont take my word on that

[calm atlas]

Also, do UCSD students get any discounts when it comes to things like the zoo?

That would be cool

[barren peak]

Where can I find UCSD stats from this year?

[calm atlas]

Did they post them online?

[violet hemlock]

no clue but our cs department is very small compared to other schools

[calm atlas]

Nice pfp btw 🙂

[unique shoal]

What abt mech eng

[calm atlas]

no it's the 21+22 CDs

CDS

Not school yr

[unique shoal]

I love cs so much

But fuck it's acceptance rates

[calm atlas]

😹

[rich terrace]

anyone have stats

for admissions for class of 2027

[violet hemlock]

college of engineering has like 1500 undergrads out of around 23,000

[rich terrace]

I am curious

[calm atlas]

0 hoes

[rich terrace]

💀

[calm atlas]

There are too many of us out there when it comes to college admissions 😢

[rich terrace]

I heard its competitive

[cerulean anchor]

idk usually like 4.3 w gpa

[rich terrace]

and it dropped

like acceptance rates

for all the UCs

[unique shoal]

I have 4.5 gpa

[rich terrace]

that came out

[unique shoal]

Rejected and waitlisted from everything

[rich terrace]

everything?

what does that mean?

[unique shoal]

Every uc that released except merced and riverside

[cerulean anchor]

yeah considering numbers went up like 20k for each UC

and I think they've also been overenrolling?

idk

[flat storm]

Wait for SB AND UCB 🙏

[cerulean anchor]

ask the mushroom guy

[calm atlas]

I have a 4.3 W but a 4.0 UW and apparently in the top 3% of my class but that hasn’t stopped me from getting WL left and right 😖

[cerulean anchor]

mushroom guy knows all!

[unique shoal]

I got 3.96 uw

[flat storm]

Who’s that

[rich terrace]

that is unfortunate

[unique shoal]

1 B

9 aps

4 honors

[rich terrace]

I am in the class of 2026

[unique shoal]

Math 51 at Stanford too

Didn't matter

[rich terrace]

did 12 APs and got fked

[cerulean anchor]

@tender elm this is your cue

[calm atlas]

Exactly everyone is completely qualified

[flat storm]

OHHH BENZ!

[rich terrace]

fingers crossed ig

[calm atlas]

Who knows what these people want

[cerulean anchor]

mind I ask where you are now

[flat storm]

amazing person

[rich terrace]

for the wailist

[pale dust]

i have a 3.7 iq

uw***

omg

[red beacon]

Lmaoo

[rich terrace]

dm'd

anyways

[pale dust]

autocorrect kicking my ass

[calm atlas]

What major did you apply for?

[tender elm]

What’s good

[regal torrent]

my heart breaks for you guys because throughout my entire hs career i will have done only 7 ap's

[pale dust]

ICAM

[tender elm]

Disciplinary action

[unique shoal]

Bro

I'm kms

[pale dust]

basically

[unique shoal]

Why I try in highschool

I should've done drugs instead

[calm atlas]

Sorry is that against the rules?

[tender elm]

What

[calm atlas]

this

common nacho rant 😭

[pale dust]

i only did 2 ape last year and 5 this year

[tender elm]

Oh lmao

It’s a joke

[pale dust]

but all honors

[regal torrent]

i'm sorry
that sounds really fucked

what were your safeties? are you eligible for merit aid?

[unique shoal]

3 last year 5 this ywae

[tender elm]

Look at this sticker

[calm atlas]

4 last yr 6 this yr ☠️

O lmao

[unique shoal]

Only 3 last year cuz I transferred schools and had new prereqs that I had to do

[unique shoal]

My last ap was full so I got on level for it

[pale dust]

aw man

[tender elm]

Ok bye

Going back to my paper

[regal torrent]

my safety was a fucking solid one: merit scholly at sdsu
got so pessimistic about uc's that i did the whole application

much care is needed

[calm atlas]

😮

[unique shoal]

My safety us scu with deans scholly

[calm atlas]

solid

[pale dust]

my safety was ucsc

[calm atlas]

my safety is Stanford

[regal torrent]

santa clara? that's a great school

[unique shoal]

It's $$$ af

[regal torrent]

even with scholly?

[unique shoal]

And I kinda wanna be further from home

[unique shoal]

Commuter cost is 65k a year

With scholarship it still 40k

[regal torrent]

shit, are you in the bay

[zealous sinew]

UCs r random, so you could get rejected from a safety but get into a target

[unique shoal]

Yeah southwest San jose

[flat storm]

I should of sold some and joined the cartel

[regal torrent]

damn my sincere apologies

[unique shoal]

Yeah

My school is the closest school next to the sweat district

Ama

Aka*

Los gatos and saratoga

[regal torrent]

when you apply to safeties you should also make sure they're affordable

got any cheap ones?

[unique shoal]

Nope

My other safeties were supposed to be davis and sc

But they not safetiies

[calm atlas]

ball state university is still rolling

[unique shoal]

Found out the hard way

[pale dust]

i got into ucsc but it said all ucs were reaches except sc

[calm atlas]

@unique shoal

[pale dust]

only applied to 4 tho

[regal torrent]

man i wish i could hand you guys my uci acceptance and my cal poly acceptance if i get it

[flat storm]

My counselor said UCI was my match school, UCD my safety

She lied 😭

[pale dust]

i’m so pissed i didn’t get into uci

[unique shoal]

My counselor and everyone said ucsd was target for me

Everyone at my school was expecting me to get in

And I let em down :/

[pale dust]

everyone thought i could get into ucla

[zealous sinew]

well you got into UCSD, so it was wrong

[pale dust]

but my major only accepted 40 ppl per year

[flat storm]

I got matched for UCSD too 🙏

[pale dust]

yes i’m glad it was

[regal torrent]

the pain of shattered expectations

[calm atlas]

I was hoping UCLA 😭 thought it would be 50/50

Lost the coin toss

[pale dust]

same

[calm atlas]

Waitlisted tho

[pale dust]

my number one

i was rejected

[vernal agate]

RIP Powell cat

Best part of ucla 😦

[pale dust]

powell

[vernal agate]

Powell*

💀

[barren peak]

lmao ty

[regal torrent]

i genuinely thought i couldn't crack ucsd, looking back that was kinda stupid bc i definitely had a chance but i bought into a2c too much and underestimated myself

[calm atlas]

UCSD slowly becoming a reach for everyone 😭

[vernal agate]

For engineering it should be

Idk outside of that

[pale dust]

it’s so weird because all of my friends got into ucsd

[calm atlas]

Yeah I mean in general now

[unique shoal]

@vernal agate I heard ucs were rough at bell this year too

[pale dust]

every single person in my class who i know applied got in

[vernal agate]

I mean typically cal poly is an easier safety though

[pale dust]

which is literally like 5 ppl so far

[vernal agate]

It’s always like that there

Cal poly is a feeder school

[unique shoal]

Leigj feeder is berkeley

[regal torrent]

damn my closest buddies couldn't get it
even the vp of the robotics club of which i am president got wl'd

[vernal agate]

Not a ton of peeps there get in to the ucs for engineering

[unique shoal]

So could be hopeful

Idk

Pls

Ucb

Ucsb

Pls

Keep the dream alive

[pale dust]

that’s so weird my friend had an f in calc last year and tons of c’s got waitlisted at cal poly and got into ucsd

[regal torrent]

inshallah this man will have a uc to attend

[rich terrace]

at this point

[regal torrent]

what the fuck

[rich terrace]

I feel like its more like a lottery

than merit

[pale dust]

my other friend is in softball and no other clubs that i know of and got into ucsd

[regal torrent]

did he get an f on his transcript?

[flat storm]

Holy Fuck

[unique shoal]

BRO SOME GIRL WHO HAD 2CS ABD 13BS GOT WAITLISTED IRVINE FOR SAME MAJOR AS ME

[rich terrace]

luck as a factor def grew

[unique shoal]

She in my class

[pale dust]

my other friend is 16 at duel enrollment idk what extra curriculars and she got into ucsd

[flat storm]

16?!

[pale dust]

yeah i’m pretty sure it was on his transcript

[vernal agate]

I know of tons of peep that get into Berkeley but rejected cal poly

[pale dust]

yeah she graduates early

[vernal agate]

There’s def luck involved for both 🤷‍♂️

[flat storm]

that’s dope ngl

[unique shoal]

Is it bad that I haven't heard from cal poly yet

[pale dust]

my other homie got into ucla and ucsd idk much abt her extracurriculars but i read her essays when we applied and they were great

denied from irvine tho

she wants to go to ucsd

[calm atlas]

Go Tritons lol

[pale dust]

lmao it’s just ridiculous ppl in my class got in i thought i was special

[unique shoal]

Pls 🙏

[calm atlas]

i heard at UCSD you can literally walk onto the beach from campus

[flat storm]

You’re not alone

I’m still waiting

[calm atlas]

I haven’t heard back either.

[flat storm]

too

[pale dust]

yes santa bárbara too

private beach

[calm atlas]

Most of my classmates haven’t either, including our Val.

[regal torrent]

it's legit, i live nearby and you just go down a hill or take the bus
kind of a longer walk though if you're not much of a walker

[pale dust]

imma text the valedictorian rn to see where he got in

[calm atlas]

Who needs Northwestern when you’ve got UCs

[unique shoal]

Our val got in stanford but waitlisted davis

[calm atlas]

No fr I know a girl from last year

She’s going to Harvard

And she got WL at every UC

[pale dust]

bffr

these colleges r trolls

[calm atlas]

Her grades weren’t great but she did a ton of advocacy stuff I think

[pale dust]

except ucsd

[calm atlas]

literally

[pale dust]

praise the triton gods

[calm atlas]

And Dr.Suess

[pale dust]

forgot the gods name

[calm atlas]

my man

[pale dust]

zues

there u go

lmfao

[unique shoal]

Fick ucsd

Rejected me

[calm atlas]

The Cat in the Hat knows all about that

[unique shoal]

@calm atlas lemme hide in ur suitcase

[calm atlas]

bet

I’ll sneak you into housing if I can get any

Hey guys, is anyone familiar with UC & what they consider a cali resident?

You need to have lived in California for a certain number of years I believe, and you have to be currently living here to be a resident

Sorry only non california residents say cali too lmao

[regal torrent]

...i say cali

[calm atlas]

bruh

Stop that. Get some help.

[regal torrent]

uc's revoking my residency rn

[calm atlas]

We’ll get your ass

I don’t think that counts unfortunately :/

[calm atlas]

oh that's not my question, lmao, I was just responding to your cali comment

Oh whoops

[pale dust]

i say cali too

@calm atlas your the minority

[calm atlas]

I guess I’m the dumbass

I am wondering if my parents get an apartment now, and once the 366 day time period has passed, would I be considered a resident then? or are there other requirements

Cali is what my cousins in Canada say

so I pay in oos tution for the first year & in-state tution for the years following

[calm atlas]

I’m not an expert on this, but I think you can look that up for more detail

If it works that sounds like a good plan

[keen geode]

anybody w experience transferring to a UC?

[calm atlas]

Alright thanks, I will email the admissions office to see if I can get an official answer

[rich terrace]

from a CC?

or from a 4 year

dm me if you want some info

[keen geode]

a 4 year

[vernal agate]

Cali?

It’s fornia

[pale dust]

cali

[vernal agate]

Y’all need to get it right

[rich terrace]

I am doing that

right now

didn't transfer yet

but I know the ins and outs

on transferring from 4 year to 4 year

[vernal agate]

From a CC to Cal?

[calm atlas]

fortnite

[rich terrace]

no

[calm atlas]

Califortnite

[rich terrace]

from 4 year

to another 4 year

I am already in a 4 year

but I am still transferring

[vernal agate]

To where?

[rich terrace]

please pm

me

[warm burrow]

are UCs accepting LOCIs this year?

like can you send them updates about your senior gradse if you were watilisted

[quiet night]

UCLA fucking me over with the recommended videos

This sucks lmao

[flat storm]

I saw that shit too 😭

[pale dust]

makes me wanna throw up and die

[dusky pollen]

Do UCs normally send you stuff in the mail after you get in or is it just the portal acceptance letter?

[quiet night]

I wish I got an email but I'm oos

[jade fossil]

if you ever feel bad

don't

ucla sucks

i <3 ucla but

[quiet night]

do you go there

[jade fossil]

there is soo much to complain about

i do yes

[quiet night]

nice

honestly it'd be great to go to but not too worried that I didn't get in

[jade fossil]

what major ya

[quiet night]

microbio at UCSD and UCD

idk why I chose microbio but I did

idk if I should switch to regular just biology or not

[dusky pollen]

What’s it like there?

Still trying to decide, haven’t committed yet

[jade fossil]

if you have any specific questions, feel free to dm! idk how to describe that though it reallly dpends per major, what clubs you're in, yk

i'd say in general student life is good

it's a public school so getting the classes you need can be a struggle

[dusky pollen]

Ohh I see. I went in for bioengineering. Stem in general is probably pretty impacted right?

[dusky pollen]

Thank you, btw!!

[jade fossil]

bioengineering is really hard

everyone i know in the major has switched out or works really hard

lol

[dusky pollen]

Yikes lol

[quiet night]

what's bioengineering about anyways?

[jade fossil]

most of the bioe people i know switched to meche

[quiet night]

is it like engineering biomolecules and etc.?

[jade fossil]

just in terms of not wanting to go to grad school

not necessarily not liking bioe (the program is good here) but you do need grad school

meche, compe, and cs are a lot more applicable straight out of school which i think some ppl notice

so people switch to taht

but you can switch within engineering school pretty easily as long as you have like a 3.0 or something so if you decide you want to do that (even switch to cs) it's p easy

[dusky pollen]

Is it easier to switch to cs already being in a stem major or still really difficult?

Oh that just answered my question lol

[jade fossil]

yeah

you could decide to switch to cs and just take cs classes and switch your third quarter i think

[dusky pollen]

Thank you!! That’s really good to know

[red beacon]

no 🤣

[jade fossil]

i think you need to wait to switch? you also only get one switch

[dusky pollen]

Think I might end up doing that if I go

[jade fossil]

so you won't have priority for enrolling in cs classes
