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

[obsidian heron]

I’m actually an idiot bro i can’t even maintain Bs 😭

[vivid vortex]

But idfk ask them

[vivid vortex]

bro

[calm atlas]

☠️

[vivid vortex]

gotta start studying

but me too I have 3 Cs I just got lazy LMFAO

[obsidian heron]

To be fair, my friend applied to Columbia with all A+ and she dropped to two Bs and a C and still got in with no questions

[eager violet]

If they don’t want me at my worst they don’t deserve me at my best 🤩

[vivid vortex]

A C????

do they know

[obsidian heron]

No idea

[vivid vortex]

uh

I heard you get warned for a B lol

[eager violet]

That’s rough

[obsidian heron]

Yeah I know but I’m lazy and I suck at math 😭😭

[quiet night]

I got a bunch of B's rn and I'm worried that they'll drop lmao

Ap chem is a bitch bro

[eager violet]

No way

Only for C’s

[vivid vortex]

they are not dropping for a B

Lmao

Only Cs

[eager violet]

Full b’s is 3.0

[vivid vortex]

yeah

I’m aiming for straight Bs rn

[obsidian heron]

I might just have to lie and say that my friend died or something

So they take me

[eager violet]

Ap chem at my school is a bit of a joke because the teacher is kind of a troll

[obsidian heron]

😭

[vivid vortex]

They’re gonna ask for obituary better start conjuring that up

[obsidian heron]

I got that mortuary plug 🥶

[vivid vortex]

real

[eager violet]

I say that lovingly though he wrote my rec letters 🤝

[quiet night]

bro is gonna commit murder to avoid rescinding

[eager violet]

Nah I’ve already conjured up a whole fanfiction in case I get rescinded

You have to be prepared for the worst

[obsidian heron]

Nah lowkey this sounds so fucked up when I say it out loud but if my hometown gets hit by an earthquake or something then I get an excuse not to study

[vivid vortex]

Fr same

[quiet night]

time to get the uranium

[vivid vortex]

Bro you live in the UK what earthquake

[eager violet]

2.7 magnitude

[obsidian heron]

India

[eager violet]

Oh nevermind

[vivid vortex]

I swear you said UK

[obsidian heron]

I live in the Uk yea

I study here

[vivid vortex]

huh

then why would earthquake in India matter

[obsidian heron]

Because im from there

🥶🥶🥶

[eager violet]

Emotional distress

[quiet night]

@obsidian heron bro just say that the government shut off the internet so you couldn't do homework

[vivid vortex]

are you gonna say your house back home collapsed and everyone inside it died

[quiet night]

just pretend to be from Punjab lmao

[eager violet]

That’d actually be not a bad reason

[obsidian heron]

Nah my relatives were affected or something

[vivid vortex]

They know your addy bro he’s in the UK

[eager violet]

I would say you had to work to send them money in their time of need

That’s just me though

[obsidian heron]

I’ll get my grandma to testify if necessary

[quiet night]

oh damn

[obsidian heron]

I’m seriously praying for a fucking miracle here because I am a hopeless academic

[quiet night]

just pretend you got tooth decay and you were hospitalized

[eager violet]

If you can get in berk early you got it man

[obsidian heron]

That’s it

I’ll purposely give myself a cavity

[eager violet]

No way the tooth decay one works 😭

[obsidian heron]

Or better yet if I break my hand

I’ll punch a door really fucking hard

And fracture every bone in my hand right before my exam

ANYTHING to get off studying

[eager violet]

They’ll just make you take it with your other one

😭

I’ve seen it before

[obsidian heron]

😭😭😭😭

No way

[eager violet]

Not on purpose

[obsidian heron]

I’ll break both

[quiet night]

apparently you can't change major until you enroll in the fall for UCSD

[eager violet]

But like some of my friends being forced to take tests with their left hand 😭

[obsidian heron]

I literally will come up with any excuse not to study

[vivid vortex]

I feel like if I go to ucla I’ll be stressing for another 4 years but if I CWRU then I will be chilling

they have grade inflation apparently

[eager violet]

Does ucla not?

I was looking for data on ucla grade inflation but I have no frame of reference so I didn’t really get any of it

[obsidian heron]

Tbh if they took me early I don’t see why they would be so hasty to rescind my offer

[quiet night]

do what studying?

[obsidian heron]

I mean it hurts the school if they start rescinding offers??? I’m coping

[obsidian heron]

Yes

[quiet night]

👺

[eager violet]

I mean if they wanted you early…

But if you’re just a random admit that’s just one more space they made for someone else

😭

[obsidian heron]

😭😭😭😭

[quiet night]

true

the waitlist is full of people wanting to get in

[eager violet]

Berk don’t want me though

I’m fine with that

[obsidian heron]

I think the general conclusion is that I have to study anyway

[quiet night]

those hungry mfers will take your position quickly and eagerly

[eager violet]

Very much so

Since so many people who apply are “overqualified” to an extent

[obsidian heron]

I mean I applied with a 4.0 technically so if my UW gpa drops a full point I’m probably fucked

[quiet night]

you just stop studying immediately once admitted lmao

[obsidian heron]

Pretty much

[eager violet]

Same here man

[obsidian heron]

It’s turning me complacent

[eager violet]

Even though that was like 3 days ago 🙁

[obsidian heron]

I just played Pokémon for like 8 hours yesterday

[quiet night]

based

[eager violet]

I’m already like 2 weeks behind in calc and I turned in one of my lit essays just a tiny tad bit late

But that was lit teachers fault for making it due on uc acceptance day what was I supposed to do

[quiet night]

bro it sucks that I can't change major until I get there

idk why I chose microbiology

[obsidian heron]

I’m so happy I got in for my major breh

[quiet night]

what is even the difference between microbiology and biology

[eager violet]

One is tinier

[quiet night]

lmao

I just want to make sure I don't make a mistake with my major

[limpid patrol]

hello

[cold linden]

I'm more of a macrobiology kinda guy

[quiet night]

does microbio major even matter if you're doing premed

[eager violet]

That one is bigger

[quiet night]

ain't no way bruh

[eager violet]

Friend told me about this too

[quiet night]

being in socal without AC might be bad lmao

[eager violet]

Some ucla dorms don’t have ac as well

[quiet night]

ye sounds like a bad idea

I hope the newer colleges like 8th have AC

[eager violet]

Probably

I don’t know why they would build a new dorm without ac

In San Diego

Seems a little silly

[quiet night]

yeah

but they said they don't above

ig they mean that each room doesn't have its own unit, but idk why they would phrase it like that

@tender elm are some of the colleges air conditioned themselves or is it no AC anywhere in the buildings?

[tender elm]

None of the dorms at ucsd have AC

In fact I don’t think any of the UCs have AC in their dorms… except maybe UCR I think

UCLA, UCSD, UCD, UCI, they all don’t

[vivid shell]

Even ucsc??

[tender elm]

Yea

[quiet night]

goddamn

[tender elm]

I just googled it double check

[quiet night]

that is a bad idea for UCs out of any college lmfao

how hot does it get

[tender elm]

I mean they haven’t had it for there 100 years of existence

Ppl have been fine

[quiet night]

ig

[tender elm]

It might get uncomfortable tho

[quiet night]

I just assumed with the hot weather they would at least add it to the newer ones

[tender elm]

If ur a dorm rat

[quiet night]

ye

[tender elm]

Like sixth college doesn’t have AC

[quiet night]

I'll probably stay outside anyways

[tender elm]

and that’s brand new

[quiet night]

hm

[tender elm]

I doubt 8th would

But that’s mainly bc ur next to the beach

The weather doesn’t really get that hot here

[quiet night]

oh damn we're next to the beach?

8th is?

[tender elm]

Yep

Yea

[quiet night]

do we got an ocean view?

[tender elm]

U do

[quiet night]

YOOOOOO

w

you are slowly convincing me to go to UCSD lmao

[tender elm]

Do some reaseaf h

U should join the ucsd 27 discord

[quiet night]

is that an official one

[tender elm]

Keybored is the server owner

Semi official

[quiet night]

alr invite me

dms

[tender elm]

It’s endorsed by the r/ucsd sub

Ok

[steep osprey]

anyone here accepted in UC Berkley

[weak moth]

just curious, how competitive is it to get into the mid tier ucs like uc davis or irvine?

I've seen so many people on reddit getting waitlisted/rejected with 4.0s, is that the norm?

or is that a result of grade inflation? bc I searched it up and the average sat seems to be in the 1300s

[steep osprey]

they dont take sat anymore so idk

[alpine dirge]

i feel like we can consider uci as a high tier cuz 21%

[steep osprey]

i had around a 4.1 UC calculated GPA and was waitlisted

[eager violet]

Acceptance rate doesn’t necessarily correlate with quality

Although not say uci is a bad school

[weak moth]

weighted or unweighted?

[alpine dirge]

true

[eager violet]

Cause it’s really good

[steep osprey]

its there own gpa. The UCs have a way of calcualting it on their website

[weak moth]

nah UCB = UCLA

[weak moth]

oh, i c

[steep osprey]

my normal weigthed was a 4.25

[alpine dirge]

fair enough

[eager violet]

In the context of the uc’s

[quiet night]

I think I have 3.79 weighted

apparently honors OOS don't count as actual honors

[steep osprey]

scam

[quiet night]

so I thought I had 4.04 lmao

[eager violet]

Same thing with me and I’m instate

[dusky pollen]

Honors instate doesn’t count either

Honors in general don’t count, only AP/IB are for sure weighted iirc

[steep osprey]

have you got accepted into any UCs?

[eager violet]

Uc does count pre calc and chem honors as weighted not sure if that’s just my school though

[quiet night]

UCD and UCSD

[steep osprey]

nice

[quiet night]

rejected UCLA tho

[dusky pollen]

Oh I took precalc honors and it didn’t get weighted 😭

[eager violet]

Rough

[quiet night]

idk how I'll get into berkeley with a 3.79 lmao

[steep osprey]

what major?

[quiet night]

would be a miracle

[dusky pollen]

Maybe ecs and piqs will carry

[quiet night]

biochem I think

[steep osprey]

did you get into biochem at UCSD and UCD?

[quiet night]

sorry molecular and cell bio

[quiet night]

I got into microbio at both

[steep osprey]

dang

[dusky pollen]

I made the dumb decision to apply compsci to Berkeley so I don’t think I’ll get in either lmao

It was the only school I applied compsci for 😭

I don’t even know why I did it

[steep osprey]

i applied for computer engineering and got rejected form every UC lmao

i didnt apply there

[alpine dirge]

wait wut

im taking it rn

[quiet night]

lmfao

got a a2c jr. here

[dusky pollen]

I had my counselor look over my classes as I was inputting them and she said “yeah just put nonhonors for all your honors classes, they don’t count”

So the course name is inputted as precalc honors

[eager violet]

Enjoy hs man why’re you here 😭

[alpine dirge]

ok ur councilor kinda trolling

[quiet night]

I gotta make my kids join A2C when I grow older

[dusky pollen]

But when I selected the drop-down for the type of class I put nonhonors

[weak moth]

yeah i put college prep

[quiet night]

it will be required in my household to spend 2 hours minimum on a2c

[dusky pollen]

Weekly daily monthly?

[alpine dirge]

idk you can thank my friend's brother for introducing me here

[quiet night]

hourly

[dusky pollen]

Annually?

Nice

[weak moth]

not good use of time ;-;

[dusky pollen]

HYPSM acceptance for sure

/j obviously just in case

[quiet night]

will make them spend 12 hours a day on A2C if they don't get in T20

and have them take gap year

ez dub

[weak moth]

or get rich and donate 😄

[quiet night]

true

[alpine dirge]

well thank god

[quiet night]

that could help

[dusky pollen]

Yeah a building should do it

[dusky pollen]

What 😭😭 she told me it was nonhonors

whatever I’m sure they saw it in the course name anyway

[quiet night]

if I donate a building I just want to sit there all day lmao

[dusky pollen]

can’t believe she did me like that

[quiet night]

I just guard the entrance

[alpine dirge]

idk figuring out that is a task for me 1 and a half years later

[red beacon]

Get her fired

[dusky pollen]

Nah it’s okay I got in where I wanted to go, so no harm done

[alpine dirge]

the joke within our school is cure cancer before you're born and donate the library of congress

[eager violet]

Wait I listed all the honors as honors is that a problem

😭

[dusky pollen]

Watch them get yield protected from Harvard

[dusky pollen]

I feel like they look over the course names again anyway

[eager violet]

Yah

[dusky pollen]

So they’ll calculate it how they want to calculate it

[alpine dirge]

fr
im not even gonna bother applying to any ivys later o n

[eager violet]

Why not

[alpine dirge]

i have like no ECs except marching band and winter perc

and i quit robotics

[eager violet]

Only ec I had up until last summer was tennis

Never too late to start

[dusky pollen]

I wish I didn’t apply to some of the schools I applied to

[quiet night]

someday an A2Cer will solve the cure to cancer

[dusky pollen]

Rejection hits hard

[quiet night]

and that'll be the day A2C peaks

[eager violet]

Of course don’t do it just for college choose something you enjoy

[quiet night]

istg there has to be an A2Cer somewhere that's cured a disease

[alpine dirge]

cuz my school hyper competitive and like if you wanna actually contribute to the team u gotta have a sibling

[dusky pollen]

I cured senioritis

[red beacon]

You have 2 years left

[dusky pollen]

By taking a nap

[red beacon]

Doesn’t work

[dusky pollen]

Works like 20% of the time

I think that’s a pretty good cure rate

[red beacon]

That’s probably accurate

[quiet night]

how bad are hypercompetitive schools?

I thought I went to one until I realized everyone is dumb

[eager violet]

😭

When did you come to this realization

[quiet night]

first day freshmen year

[eager violet]

Makes sense

[alpine dirge]

without saying which one
like barely behind mission sj and ahead of monta vista

[dusky pollen]

p2_ow are you going to bruin day?

[quiet night]

no I mean how bad are they in terms of competitiveness

[eager violet]

Yes

[alpine dirge]

bruh theres like 10 people in my grade already taking ap stats

[quiet night]

not in terms of ranking lmao

[eager violet]

I will bring usc student as my guest

They want to try the food

[dusky pollen]

Okay cool bc I was curious how many people actually go to those things lol

Ooooh they let you have the food??

Okay I’m for sure going

[eager violet]

I have no idea

That’s just what he thought so that’s he wants to go

😭

[dusky pollen]

I was on the fence because I didn’t know if it would just be like a whole day of just walking around

And y’know like I don’t really need to go if we’re just walking in circles around the school

But if there’s food

[eager violet]

I never got the impression they’d let you have it but I can rizz my way into the dining hall

[dusky pollen]

I’ll go for the chance of getting food

[quiet night]

honestly I gotta just make my own food

[alpine dirge]

tbh im like a bit more of the "not tiger parents but still wanna get into decent schools" and shit but i have a 3.83 uw 4.0 ucw capped and 4.13 w

there are already people taking ap stats, and one person already doing multivarible at de anza college

there are some weaker and some stronger
im like barely above average

[quiet night]

what needs to happen is that I try and make a monopoly to compete with school food at UCSD, driving their dining halls out of business

[dusky pollen]

Run your own restaurant out of your room right next to ucsd’s dining halls

[quiet night]

how is the culture around ECs

[alpine dirge]

i do not have many friends (i sit with just one during brunch/lunch)

[tender elm]

lmao what

[quiet night]

just right at the front of the line I'm selling mine but giving people free cookies too

[eager violet]

It seems that they don’t offer it as part of Bruin day but you can just ask someone to let you in

[dusky pollen]

LOL love that

[eager violet]

So if you know people I guess you can just ask

[dusky pollen]

Oh sweet, I’ll do that then

[quiet night]

is it possible to put a college out of business on my own by buying out the professors? 🤔

[tender elm]

no

[alpine dirge]

most are like mandated by parents
like mine is piano,
i joined band this year (by my own choice maybe i can bs some shit on college apps about that)
parents def tell you to do sports and shit
and a shit ton of "starting clubs"

[dusky pollen]

“Starting clubs” 😭

It got so bad at my school that they put a million restrictions on that

[eager violet]

^

[alpine dirge]

ill send some screenshots

[dusky pollen]

Because people would start a club junior year and then let it die senior year after applications

[alpine dirge]

BRUH OUR SCHOOL HAS A 500 DOLLAR FEE FOR STARTING CLUBS

[quiet night]

I remember wanting to start one and not caring enough to

[meager crag]

wait ur a sophmore 😭

[eager violet]

That seems like exploiting children

Maybe that’s just me

[quiet night]

lmfao

just start it unofficially

[dusky pollen]

School fees are crazy

[alpine dirge]

one example

[quiet night]

just make it a "friend group" and unofficially run a club

[alpine dirge]

couple days ago

[dusky pollen]

Some kids are several thousand dollars in debt from band/sports fair share

[eager violet]

You don’t have to have a school club though

I made my own org during the summer because the school rules are annoying

[quiet night]

ain't no way bruh

[eager violet]

As long as you can get people to do stuff

[dusky pollen]

“Learn to sequence the entire genome” 😭 what

This is a school club?!?!

[eager violet]

Bros just taking a class

😭

[quiet night]

I remember someone started math club at our school and people laughed lmao

it was fun tho

did math competitions

[dusky pollen]

Math club at my school kinda dying

[eager violet]

One of my minions started a car club and it’s sick

[eager violet]

They do like car meets with students

[quiet night]

honestly kinda fire club tho I'd join 100%

[meager crag]

do u go to palo alto

or saratoga

[quiet night]

I'd love to join a bio club just to do PCR and shit all day

[dusky pollen]

Me too, I’m just surprised students would put that effort into doing that

Like you’re basically teaching other students as a student

[quiet night]

bro I'm just worried about these kids in california

[dusky pollen]

I would be down to be on the learning side though

[quiet night]

they seem like demons ready to destroy you with their academic knowledge

I gotta compete

[dusky pollen]

It’s just Bay Area mainly tbh

[quiet night]

there has to be so much competition there ong

[alpine dirge]

another

[meager crag]

its mostly bay area

[alpine dirge]

too lazy to do more now

[quiet night]

I wonder what it takes to beat all other students in bay area lmao

[alpine dirge]

tbh idk

[alpine dirge]

wait u asking me?

im not rich lmao

but

[alpine dirge]

closer

[quiet night]

like I wonder what the top bay area student looks like

[alpine dirge]

(not in competitiveness but in distance)

[quiet night]

hearing about these kids doing insane ECs for some reason activates jealousy in me in wanting to beat them

[alpine dirge]

ima bs some shit on the top of my head

skipped 3 years of school
uh started yt channel 10k+ subs
made like 50 different websites

[eager violet]

Me

(I don’t live in the Bay Area)

[dusky pollen]

Nah not worth the stress

Better to not be in the Bay Area imo

[quiet night]

the jealousy is too much

the only reason I prob even got into some of my ECs was because of that lmao

[steep osprey]

does your area / highschool affect acceptance?

[dusky pollen]

Some kids in my district purposely go to the crappiest hs we have just so that they have less competition and higher class rank

[eager violet]

100%

[steep osprey]

bru

[alpine dirge]

ill tell you my ec's and im just AVERAGE in my school

piano (10 years)
band (started this year
marching band
winter perc
yes

[dusky pollen]

You’re evaluated in the context of your hs and area

[eager violet]

You are compared in the context of what opportunities are provided to you

[steep osprey]

richer areas more competitve?

[dusky pollen]

Generally

[eager violet]

Otherwise colleges would only be accepting from the Bay Area 😭

[tall leaf]

anyone having problem logging on to the ucr portal?

[quiet night]

then the real play would be to do a ton of ECs first 3 years then move to the middle of nowhere to a school with nobody and apply from there

[eager violet]

I mean

[dusky pollen]

You still have to put your prev school though

[eager violet]

People at my school have done that 😭

[dusky pollen]

Like you’d put both

And say that you transferred

[eager violet]

Not on purpose but I don’t think it worked out

[quiet night]

hm

[dusky pollen]

But the first hs would still show up

[alpine dirge]

my school jokes about that sometimes about to transferring to cupertino hs but they take your transcripts from your old hs as well

[dusky pollen]

Maybe try emailing the school?

Whatever office handles that stuff

[quiet night]

someone who used to be my friend transferred to another high school because he wanted to get a better GPA at public school, and said he was going to get into harvard because he's getting a harvard student to write his essays

afaik I don't think he got into any good schools

[eager violet]

😭

[quiet night]

like his main hobby was making fake youtube prank videos

[eager violet]

That’s

[alpine dirge]

a unique EC

[quiet night]

I remember seeing so many comments on this one video since he made it an ad to get more views

one of the comments was "I'm jumping off a bridge now", and he hearted it and said "Thanks for the support!"

[tall leaf]

lol i had a friend who was getting c's in math, switched to another school, and started getting straight A's taking 6 aps lmao

[quiet night]

I remember in 8th grade that he wanted to do his science fair experiment on why oil and water separate

and whenever we carpooled he got scared of the windows being closed since he was afraid he would suffocate

[meager crag]

my 1st grade science fair was on how water level rises when you put rocks in there 💀

i won first place shouldve put it as an ec smhh

[alpine dirge]

my 5th grade was something stupid and we got 8th place

[eager violet]

Why does that happen

[cerulean anchor]

wait this is a thing?

[eager violet]

You can do anything for med

Just complete your med school pre reqs

Do I think it’s smart though? Not at all

I don’t want to put the negativity out in the world but if I don’t get in I’ll just hang out with my philosophy degree or something I don’t know 😭

[quiet night]

my 8th grade was some stupid program I did where I did some simple equations in ruby to output your plastic output

[cerulean anchor]

No dont worry you'll be fine

oh I think they left

xd

[late zinc]

if i havent set up my portal yet for ucsb would that effect my admission

[calm atlas]

great observation!

[calm atlas]

it would affect your ability to see the decision

[late zinc]

so if i havent set up a portal they can still post my status right?

its just if i dont have an acc i cant see the decision

[calm atlas]

I'm p sure yeah??? Why not just set up your portal rn

[late zinc]

because the website is down

[calm atlas]

o

[untold pivot]

I'm at an airport right now. Can't check portal

But I got a text

Does this mean I got in????

Hi [my name], on behalf of UCLA Admission, congratulations! We are so excited to welcome you to the UCLA family and help you through the next steps of your journey as you consider becoming a Bruin! 🎉🐻

[red beacon]

I would guess so

[calm atlas]

no

it means you should give me your acceptance

lil trade

3 pencils

give or take

[wet sandal]

it depends on the major

for cs all of the UCs except merced and riverside are reaches

[weak moth]

sad

did I scuff my chances at princeton by choosing cs as an alternative major

maybe I should've picked physics

[regal grove]

chances at princeton are always scuffed

[weak moth]

tru ;-;

[untold pivot]

Checked portal. I got in

[weak moth]

nice

congrats!

[untold pivot]

Thanks 🙏🙏🙏

[regal grove]

did u not know it came out on friday?

these ucs cant even send an email to telling u to check ur portal...

except ucsd

[quiet night]

bro is humble bragging hard

[graceful bay]

date on when UCSB is coming out?

[cyan moon]

No it means u got rejected

[cyan moon]

TOMRROW BRO

[soft beacon]

Tomorrow, 3:15

[graceful bay]

oh dang

i have decisions coming every day of the week

[cyan moon]

3 pst

[untold pivot]

I SWEAR I wasnt. I don't want to be one of those people that have been posting stuff like this lol. But I saw saw many UC heart attack email posts. So I asked

[vestal plume]

are you being sarcastic or not ☠️

[wet sandal]

its post acceptance clarity guys

its the opposite of post nut clarity

[quiet night]

bro saw "congratulations you're in" and asked whether he got in 💀

I understand tho

[vestal plume]

average a2c user with 4.0 uw, 27 aps, and 15 national awards when they do not have the reading comprehension of a 3rd grader

[quiet night]

no flak, just messing with you

[vestal plume]

full flak

[regal grove]

its just a2c people

[twin estuary]

it used to be like that 30 years ago, but now jobs are becoming more and more specialized and you can't survive on blue collar wages as good as you could 30+ years ago

[vestal plume]

trade can also be very physically tolling on the body

[weak moth]

tech layoffs scary

we'll all be unemployed soon enough 💀

[steep osprey]

CS majors will graduate in 2027 and realize the AI can replace them for free

[tired nest]

UCSB my last gasp

[weak moth]

why u double major in math + applied math 😝

wait no idt that's possible

math + cs

[violet hemlock]

dw if u (or anyone else) don't get in i can tell u all the shitty things about going here

[weak moth]

what?

[violet hemlock]

i mean the main one is its so hard to get classes

[meager crag]

can u shit on ucla 🥺

[violet hemlock]

esp lower divs

probably true for most uc's tbh

yea

[regal grove]

and distracting

[cerulean anchor]
