check ur pings
I don't think anyone thinks a t20 is easy to get into ๐
Itโs 9:52
applying lingcs/math of comp is literally the best loophole there is
it's too bad berkeley closed it off
Idk I was just looking at us news and world reports
I was bored in class


they might
but even if they do, lingcs and mathcomp will still see high levels of demand on their own
they already see a lot of demand bc its lingcs and computational mathematics
who knows
imagine
not like i applied cs and eecs directly to every uc
๐ญ
n they dont want me
anyway the most notable thing in this city was when i almost got trafficked in the galleria mall
i applied data sci everywhere
got in everywhere
ahh
slay
not me
i did, and it's not going too well ๐ญ
yea kinda sucks
been a tough uc season
yeah
://
a lot of ppl from my school didnt get in anywhere
yoo did u go to codewars
i did
me too
one of our teams got second epicly like a boss
that was actually rlly fun
i was not on that team
the food was good
LMAO
๐ญ
our strategy was so messy
when we saw all the point values were the same
for questions like 10-25
we woulda had that fuckin movie file search problem
i was literally scribbling out psuedocode and we had so much and no time to code it
but nope because we hardcoded the first slash in the file path
what did u guys end up with
yeah
but i applied cs
congrats though
my essays carried me fs
nice to see cs majors that actually do cs
he just got an internship at amzn
thats sick
their cs is nice and location is pretty
davis was rough this year
RIGHT??
my friend who i was rooting for davis
so many of my friends got waitlisted
yep
so confusing
but yea im praying for berkeley
best of luck for u ๐
i regret not doing lingcs at ucla
uci honors sounds perfectly fine for me too but it is what it is
berk ๐ฅบ pls
my brother says honors is a trap
are u in hs kc
it just makes u take unecessary classes
oops
do i know u wtf
oh
did u go to the region 16 thing
me neither
he got into mit
no way
and likelies from cornell and columbia
my tax bracket too high
lmao
i started in oct
my essays were pretty good tho
it really is just applying cs that fucked me
my only good drafts starting coming in november tho
my ecs are pretty cracked too
really?
but i have like a lot of social justice crap
ahh i see
i have a internship and a cybersecurity award
i love ctf comps
they are sm fun
but tbf i only do like windows and open source intelligence
i avoid packet tracer and linux'
i am not into cybersecurity at all
cause they look ugly
LMAO
i just do web dev
ah
so whatever side of cybersecurity involves web stuff i am versed in but i hate using kali linux and all that shit
headache
cool
ive literally only been on yalls campus once for the kc night market
and yalls ampitheater is huge
for no reason
did u go eecs or l&s?
i sold cookies that day
l&s
i didnt buy anything
i almost bought one of those bracelets
but then i realized it said key club on it
so i did not buy it
but im p sure this year itll be similar to eecs
oh
just a little salty i have strong cs ecs and essays but ucla reject
planet grey is competitive as fuck tho
i thought its lower ever since they decreased the amount of spots in l&s
i was 4.6W junior year and i was still 20th
so its 1%
ridiculous
yeah im not valedictorian (we have 12)
Ucs r rly random esp for cs
yeah they admitted less seats last year but there will be more seats this yr
now people cant backdoor into l&s cs anymore
so slowly every year itll go up
so it'll be roughly 4%?
idk no one knows
thats my guess
its def gonna be better than last year which was 2.8%
nah the bay is crazy
i wouldve destroyed the low income gangbangers of esj
by how much who knows
noooo not where i was from LMAO
do u know if berk considers admitting u into ur 2nd major?
march 30th is such a long time away
real
but berkeley always has weird stuff with their portals
i highkey hate cal a lot
i would choose ucsb/uci/ucsd over it
ppl have been saying that berk was using the second major mostly for data collection purposes, dont know if its true. i do know most ppl wont get into their second choice
MET considers u for secondary
i like cal LMAO
not sure abt eecs
its like
i hate cal but i love cal
most of my fam still there
and the overenrollment
would be nice to be close to "home"
i already found u
man
well im comfy ok
i applied met and eecs secondary but i didnt get into met
if it gives u perspective i ranked ayla my number one ec LOL
aw rip
WHAT
๐ญ
ayla and cybsersecurity were my top 2
damn
my job & internship with stop aapi hate were 3/4
my top is probably music
bruh i was forced to play the piano and violin never again
lmao
classic asian things
a good amount of planet grey people got in but they got in for random ass shit
the only ppl at my school who got ucla are the 4.0s who took the hardest class possible
regardless of their ecs
not many cs majors at my school tbh
yeah ucla seemed to care more about course rigor for my school people that got in
damn every other person here is cs
ah ic
or econ
i go to a hgih income public high school too
yeah
california but not bay area
but i think some value ecs more
SoCal
hmm
i just cant imagine doing more ecs
dk how it works only 1/12 fvaledictorians got into ucla
i hate key club with all my heart
like usually the ppl who get berkeley CS are waitlisted from UCLA cs and had a bunch of ecs
SO REAL
i woke up an hour earlier this morning for a fuckin board meeting
i had a bunch of ecs so maybe its just copium tho ๐ฅบ
so real
and we talked about WHAT SODA TO BUY FOR AN EASTER EVENT FOR AN HOUR
dont tell my ltg though i love him
justin?
key club is literally so cultish though
something other than cs
its scary
same lol but
even with how competitive getting into cs is like
the job market will be goated when we're graduating
tbh idek what im interested in coding is scary
its kinda dog rn tho
please berkeley i dont wanna live in illinois
are u in state
i know jack about web dev\
its just drawing shit and then coding it
its stupid
its 99% centering boxes with round borders
do they fr not consider second major
thats crazy tho that we are so close ๐ญ a2c is so weird
oh def
r ygs bay area?
used 2 be

what's portal astrology
Go to collegeconfidential
they got a whole thread there
Trying to predict stuff off of things you see on your portal before the actual decision
Like
"Omg guys berkeley just asked for financial aid info did I just get accepted???"
ohh
Do u guys know what time UCB releases
can u dm me the thread link
3-5
yes
i think so
I don't think so
I'm pretty sure ucsd doesn't have such a system (the have no l&s and you are automatically in once you accept your offer)
ucla has some majors that are in pre-X major mode until you complete the requirements
seems like Berkeley has you declare major after completing prereqs for l&s though
ohh ok and what about davis?
no
I don't think they do Pre-major either
I think ucsb does though
I spoke to admission officer and u are admitted to ur major first year in CLS
Thatโs so kind of you to do
so basically when I applied cs I will already have that as a major and not have to take pre-reqs to declare it?
is it common to get rejected from irvine, sd, la if berkeley accepts you
Not common but def possible
for yield protection
this might be copium but I have USACO Platinum (applying CS, OOS)
UCs donโt yield project cuz itโs a public school
did u get into berk early
no
uh not really
ye ik my app is pretty garb
ucla is probably ur best indicator for cal, just bc the two are at the same level of competition usually
that depends by ao
i wouldnt say for CS/EE, (baldie had usaco
there's no real "indicator" for anything
i've seen people get into cal while getting rejected from others
but CS is just don't expect an acceptance because there's that many applicants
thats not YP honestly
UC actually dont care about your Ec's that much
beside berk(funnily enough)
ha
sorry but too many ppl have usaco that i doubt top cs schools care too much
i had nothing on usaco, just some local hackathon wins and i got in early eecs + regents
tbh it was prob my extracurriculars cuz they were really strong
oh well ig its just copium then ๐ญ ๐ญ ๐ญ
No UC Berkeley changed their system from fall 2023 where if u get into a capped major in l&s u garunteed get it as long as u meet gpa req
If they cared more ab my academic work why didnโt I get into ucsd,ucsb,Uci when Iโm a basically college sophomore in credits I have 37 college units lol
I didnโt apply
@covert sorrel
what ucs have u gotten into
got into only uci with 67 college units
so u transferred
rejection everywhere else except uci WL
I only got into Davis
if you dont graduate high school you cant apply as transfer even if you have enough units
Wl at ucsd uci ucla but reject from ucsb lol
oh damn
well ur gonna graduate the same time as a junior in college
yeah basically
Ig thatโs what it takes to get into uci now
gonna retake some courses at uci though cuz those community college classes were way too easy
Need 67 units
cs major too
Respect tho
thank you
what do UCs even want nowadays lol
not me fs lmap
a cure for cancer and a 1mil plus startup company
Ucsc wants u itโs okay
^
ty ๐ญ i'll be happy there
you both CS majors?
lmfao im still in denial pls
Ee here
i am yessir
oof i see
kinda intl too so idk
it's fine, Cal'll definitely want you both
I hope so
hi everyone, i had a question. is uc san diego actually socially dead? i want to make friends, form connections, have fun and find a boyfriend
ur just like me fr
Yes
Do not go to UCSD
he left the server
which classes
have you taken all math
taking math up to calc 2 community college level.
and taken all classes for a computer science AA
oh
arenโt you majoring in cs tho
so wouldnโt u wanna do all the math reqs+phys+cs
did you take like a billion electives or smth
there are only like 2 programming classes you need to take right
or even offered
60 units is an AS degree I took all my GE classes and major classes
4 programming
But Iโm gonna retake most at UCI
itโs intro to programming and then java rt
what are the other two
what GEs did you take
for AS donโt you need calc 3, diff eqs linear alg and discrete
or is that for something else
This is my community colleges requirements
oh ic
Theyโre different at every school
ohh makes sense
But I took English courses physical and biological sciences, maths, and cs classes
A lot
Nearly 20 or so classes during my high school years
Man that's crazy
I have 30ish units and got into UCI
I'm convinced this is all a lottery
because you have like double mine
30 college credits?
i applied cs ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Damn nice
good luck
I have so many CS homies
they want good luck
my heart really does go out to them
ucs have been so unpredictable for me
this confused me for a second lol
a lot of people get that idk why
i think it's because of the fact that they hire random ass contractors to read apps
for some reason my decisions are actually making sense which is very strange
Yea mine have been a bit wonky too
how so
hmm i see
for me it was just weird seeing reject SB but then waitlist SD and accept Irvine
cs?
They're all similar "tier" but I got completely different results each one
i'm an asian dude in computer engineering as well
dunno CS seems actually random
this level of consistency is astounding to me
i got into uci, sb, no la and no sd
I applied social ecology at Irvine but undeclared social science at the others. Asian too if that means anything lol
well that kinda makes sense actually for mine
dude i got accepted at irvine, san diego, davis, santa cruz, waitlisted at ucla and then rejected at santa barbara?? ๐ญ๐ญ
dangggg
sb is such a wild card idek
UCSB be like that
I wish we could rank schools because SB was my first choice pretty much the whole process
just put in ur piqs LMAO
waiting on berkeley ๐ค
that reject HURT man
Rank:
i honestly don't give a f about berkeley i'm committed ucsd
yea fs
you love UCSD that much?
iโm only going to the west coast if i get into berkeley or LA
for a multitude of reasons
Premed?
no, computer engineering
my parents are convinced I can get into Cal but I'm trying to keep their expectations low
plus I am halfway set on Irvine already
make me love sd then
whenever i'm not frantic about the decision it usually turns out good
honestly same
whenever i get anxious about them the day of, the oppsoite
so i just try not to care as much as possible
no tears shed yet
the more i care, the more likely i am to get rejected
real LMAO
didnโt give a fuck about san diego and i got in
That day felt like a fever dream lmao
crazy
san diego is a really interesting area not only with tons of beaches but other things to do, and a big city within reach
it's got programs that often beat out ucla and uc berkeley as well
i have usc coming today ๐ญ
weather is actually amazing too
what college again for sd
where r u at
is it true about it not being a social school though?
wdym
that's crazy
like intl or oos
HMC is really hard to get into
depends on what you want for "social"
intl technically cause i live abroad but iโm from new york so idk
ic
if you're looking to get blackout drunk at frat parties then maybe you wanna look elsewhere
but with 30k+ students you'll def find your people
i just wanna make friends ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
yea it was at that moment I realized this is all just like playing slots
yea
i think UCs besides LA/Berk are less hollistic
but could be just my opinion
i have bad social anxiety so itโs easier to make friends when iโm drunk but i donโt actually enjoy that tbh
la is my only flat out rejection
most people seem to get themselves a solid group of buddies
makes me scared for berk
i shoulda majored sum else tbh but i have been coding since like 5th grade
you CS?
compilers n architecture n shit
ds and cs are similar in a lot of ways
yeah but often ds isn't in college of engineering
didnt wanna stress myself out trying to game the system tho so i just said fuck it
cs
lol
pray for me for eecs
๐
i doubt it's actually on ivty day
๐คฌ
i'm pretty sure their portal said on the 30th
but it recently changed it to before or on30th
sounds like they might pull early but who knows
lmao same
They said on their Twitter
ill be right there with u
We are thrilled to be welcoming new students to UC Berkeley in the coming weeks! Admissions decisions for first year applicants will be released on March 30. For transfers, decisions will be released on April 21.
#GoBears ๐ป
yeah nev mind
Man
damn it
longest week of my life
ffs though ivies are already enough while cal on the same day
You apply to any ivies?
nope
all but dartmouth/harvard
wow
I was put off by most of them bc of essays tbh
i got too lazy
Same but 7 + usc and cmc
still can't believe i somehow got them all done
and missed the deadlines
November-December last year doesn't feel real
what major
last friday don't feel real to me
and it's only been a week
Philosophy for all
im sayin ๐ญ๐ญ
longest week of my life
nice
thats sweet
I prob would apply that if not for parents
I loved my philosophy community college professor
who knows
they reevaluate all apps i think
oh really?
this is the only correct answer
yea as far as i know
icic
good to know since i also got wl
have no idea what to write for the wl form though
might just submit it blank
iโm gonna phrase it like an LOCI
but iโm waiting for my other decisions before i do it
iโve got quite a lot to update so hopefully that helps
at least include ur senior grades bruh
i have like nothing to update lmao
grades
they're not that great so
what have u been spending ur time doing
i donโt think itโs so much about what u do, but how good u make it sound LMAO
just the same ECs pretty much
yeah alright
i entered one of my senior honors classes as a non weighted class and its been on my mind 24/7
but donโt submit it blank
but it was honors Spanish 4
1 honor did not break ur decision
wdym
no offence
yeah no i slipped up hard the first semester
which is why i was glad UCs don't look at those
lowkey this whole process is exciting af tho
iโm in IB so itโs hard to tell if i meet their avg stats tbh
have u been rejected yetโฆ
oh ok
nah rejections are exciting
not exactly in a good way but
HOW
Its like gambling
I was expecting the worst from everywhere in March
rejections leave me empty
they stir me up idk
I got waitlisted at Santa Clara University
Gambling with my hs career
which destroyed my ego
but we good now
same lol
missouri ๐คข
my parents keep telling me they wont mind where i go and want me to not stress n shit meanwhile im like actively excited n on a high from opening these decisions
but WashU has a high ED rate and EDII as well making RD more difficult in my opinion (hard coping i know)
ahahah
for la?
i hate telling my parents i got rejected
idk but thatโs the worst part for me
honestly my senior courseload has been light
i mean i have a lot of ecs i didnt mention
and i probably shouldve milked my background growing up more
i didnt want to pull the southeast asian card too hard ๐ญ
i feel that
i toned down all of my sob stories but i guess i should have milked them dry then...
not because how theyโll respond but just feeling like i wanted to show something nice for them
like they think iโm capable of getting in anywhere and i hate crushing that for them by telling them i got rejected ๐ญ
i just feel bad
cause iโm like messing up the idea they have of me in their head
yeah same
i need to create the most bizarre story
yeah no telling my parents does make me feel bad
but they know that i'm the one suffering the most
my parents dont say anything but still
so they always offer support
my dad gets so excited
My dad told me Iโd be rejected from la ๐ญ
felt
counterjinx
wow imagine living in a functional household
nahh ๐ญ๐ญ
my parents have been pretty uninvolved in my college process they just want me to go to college period
I think he just googled the acceptance rate and got too real
LMAO
tbf my parents donโt really understand how hard the college admissions process is so they think itโs easy for me to get in anywhere
LMAO
the most involved my parents have been was when my dad chose to print my house keys on a cal decal 3 years ago
so my housekey is blue and yellow and says cal
imma need a new house key
imma need a new house ๐ฏ
Cal sucks if they reject us ๐๐
blue and yellow fits all the UCs ๐
thats true
it probably is
if it is I don't care
shouldโve written that in ur essay
other colleges insta reject
i love ur jane pfp ๐
yeah same for me itโs just hard and upsetting cause everyone told me iโd get into ucla when i knew i would not, itโs not me being negative itโs just me knowing what it took to get there and knowing i didnโt have it
i have realistic outlooks on admissions and iโm able to tell when i have a decent chance of getting in
i feel like everyone was tryna convince me iโd get into all the ucโs when i knew i wouldnt and when they found out i feel like i let my family down cause they believed in me
tbh tho i got over ucla quicker than i thought i would and itโs been my top school for 7 years
now i wanna transfer to uci after ucsd tbh to do game design
LMAO wait i forgot this is the uc application ๐ญ
rightt
waitlist or rejection?
and i love your jesse pfp ๐ซถ
I just updated my uc app by entering my ssn which I hadnโt done
Will that be an issue to get my fafsa
I had already turned that in on time
rejection ๐
loml
so is a wl a decent indicator
i know so many people that got rejected from ucla and got into cal though...
iโm getting WL at all my private
privates
๐ญ๐ญ
not even a single accept at a top private
Is UCR still sending out acceptance or just rejections
could be both
we dont know for sure
what if u get waitlisted from ucla
any idea when berkeley is coming out
the portal says March 30th
Are uci waitlists usually generous or nah
just came to say that i got in after ucla L and fuck u ucla
im still butthurt about ucsd tho
for the UCLA admits: Whoโs going to Bruin Day?
me, most likely
does UCLA send an admission package?
I am
oos is your issue
the governor gave additional funding to uc with the stipulation they take less oos (it used to be a similar admission rate across the board)
Wovernor
It used to be higher for OoS. Probably still is but the percentage went down
depends on ur major
if you're full pay, uci imo
if you're not full pay (such as you have a merit scholarship), usc can be considered
what major tho
its fully paid for me for both schools so i wont pay anything (scholarship)
bio
congrats on getting the 100% merit for usc
i don't see many getting that
I'd pick usc in that case
you get better course availability and counseling from usc. but uci is also a great option
by the way what scholarship did you get for uci? i've only seen large scholarships being given at ucr
