topaz edge
tired oar
frigid grotto
#

they might

#

but even if they do, lingcs and mathcomp will still see high levels of demand on their own

rare carbon
#

they already see a lot of demand bc its lingcs and computational mathematics

#

calm atlas
#

#

not like i applied cs and eecs directly to every uc

we woulda had that fuckin movie file search problem

rare carbon
#

i was literally scribbling out psuedocode and we had so much and no time to code it

cyan moon

cold linden

"Omg guys berkeley just asked for financial aid info did I just get accepted???"

meager wren
#

ohh

steel ingot
#

Do u guys know what time UCB releases

calm atlas
#

no one knows

#

meager crag
calm atlas
#

3-5

visual charm
#

yo wait

#

does anyone know when ucb is coming out

#

its 3/30 rightr

rough gyro
#

yes

vivid shell
#

are you basically undeclared for the first year at l&s

#

for any uc

frank ridge
#

i think so

frigid grotto
#

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

vivid shell
#

ohh ok and what about davis?

frigid grotto
#

no

frigid grotto
#

I think ucsb does though

warm burrow
eager violet
#

Thatโ€™s so kind of you to do

vivid shell
stuck citrus
#

is it common to get rejected from irvine, sd, la if berkeley accepts you

west sorrel
#

Not common but def possible

stuck citrus
#

for yield protection

#

this might be copium but I have USACO Platinum (applying CS, OOS)

west sorrel
#

UCs donโ€™t yield project cuz itโ€™s a public school

stuck citrus
#

they have over 100k applications

#

rather get someone in who will go

#

than not

quick sierra
#

did u get into berk early

stuck citrus
#

no

quick sierra
#

idk. altho usaco plat is extremely prestigious

#

do not expect it to carry ur app

stuck citrus
#

ye ik my app is pretty garb

keen geode
#

ucla is probably ur best indicator for cal, just bc the two are at the same level of competition usually

west sorrel
#

Iโ€™ve heard the same

#

But isnโ€™t Berkeley the most holistic campus?

quick sierra
#

ucla is more selective

#

than cal

keen geode
keen geode
whole musk
#

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

vernal sail
#

UC actually dont care about your Ec's that much

#

beside berk(funnily enough)

frank ridge
#

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

stuck citrus
#

oh well ig its just copium then ๐Ÿ˜ญ ๐Ÿ˜ญ ๐Ÿ˜ญ

regal grove
#

barren peak
#

have you taken all math

clear pendant
#

taking math up to calc 2 community college level.

#

and taken all classes for a computer science AA

barren peak
#

oh

#

arenโ€™t you majoring in cs tho

#

so wouldnโ€™t u wanna do all the math reqs+phys+cs

barren peak
#

there are only like 2 programming classes you need to take right

#

or even offered

clear pendant
#

60 units is an AS degree I took all my GE classes and major classes

#

4 programming

#

But Iโ€™m gonna retake most at UCI

barren peak
#

what are the other two

barren peak
#

for AS donโ€™t you need calc 3, diff eqs linear alg and discrete

#

or is that for something else

clear pendant
#

This is my community colleges requirements

barren peak
#

oh ic

clear pendant
#

Theyโ€™re different at every school

barren peak
#

ohh makes sense

clear pendant
#

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

snow crypt
#

Man that's crazy

#

I have 30ish units and got into UCI

calm atlas

30 college credits?

snow crypt
#

you should be good to go with a transfer though

#

yes

calm atlas
#

thats wild

#

snow crypt
#

#

60 units in HS is fucking unreal

calm atlas
#

10 classes is crazy

#

i have 6 credits

#

and i got into uci

snow crypt
#

I applied social ecology not an impacted major

#

so I'm assuming that's why

calm atlas

calm atlas
#

ucs have been so unpredictable for me

whole musk
regal torrent
#

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

snow crypt
#

Yea mine have been a bit wonky too

calm atlas
#

how so

whole musk
#

how do you define decisions as "making sense"

#

just curious

regal torrent
#

accepted ucr ucsd uci ucsb
waitlisted ucla

#

like it goes with the rankings

whole musk
#

hmm i see

calm atlas
#

same here except no ucsd

#

i think theyre more random for me cause im cs

snow crypt
snow crypt
#

They're all similar "tier" but I got completely different results each one

regal torrent
#

i'm an asian dude in computer engineering as well

whole musk
#

dunno CS seems actually random

regal torrent
#

this level of consistency is astounding to me

calm atlas
#

i got into uci, sb, no la and no sd

snow crypt
# whole musk cs?

brittle mountain

whenever i get anxious about them the day of, the oppsoite

calm atlas

i have faith in like my fate lowkey

#

it is what it is

whole musk
#

so i just try not to care as much as possible

calm atlas

no tears shed yet

brittle mountain

the more i care, the more likely i am to get rejected

calm atlas

brittle mountain
#

brittle mountain
snow crypt

#

i think UCs besides LA/Berk are less hollistic

#

but could be just my opinion

brittle mountain
#

i have bad social anxiety so itโ€™s easier to make friends when iโ€™m drunk but i donโ€™t actually enjoy that tbh

calm atlas
#

la is my only flat out rejection

regal torrent
calm atlas
#

makes me scared for berk

whole musk
#

i've seen people get into cal but reject LA

#

and the opposite

brittle mountain
#

yeah same

#

iโ€™ve seen people get rejected from everywhere and get into Cal

calm atlas
#

i shoulda majored sum else tbh but i have been coding since like 5th grade

#

calm atlas
#

calm atlas

calm atlas

#

I loved my philosophy community college professor

whole musk
#

i probably wouldn't apply for engineering if i actually had the choice

#

tbh

calm atlas
#

i willingly chose engineering

#

we are not the same

desert oriole
#

How does UCLA look at waitlists?

#

who gets in and who doesn't?

whole musk

brittle mountain

oh really?

brittle mountain
brittle mountain
whole musk
#

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

brittle mountain
#

iโ€™m gonna phrase it like an LOCI

#

iโ€™ve got quite a lot to update so hopefully that helps

desert oriole

brittle mountain

just the same ECs pretty much

brittle mountain
#

yeah so just elaborate on those

#

youโ€™ll be fine

whole musk
#

yeah alright

calm atlas
#

i entered one of my senior honors classes as a non weighted class and its been on my mind 24/7

brittle mountain
#

but donโ€™t submit it blank

calm atlas
#

but it was honors Spanish 4

desert oriole
#

1 honor did not break ur decision

whole musk
#

wdym

desert oriole
#

no offence

calm atlas
#

yeah ikik

#

just small little slip ups afterward n im like shit

whole musk
#

yeah no i slipped up hard the first semester

#

which is why i was glad UCs don't look at those

calm atlas
#

lowkey this whole process is exciting af tho

brittle mountain
#

iโ€™m in IB so itโ€™s hard to tell if i meet their avg stats tbh

brittle mountain
calm atlas
#

my life has been boring recently until march

#

from la yea

brittle mountain
#

oh ok

whole musk
#

nah rejections are exciting

calm atlas
#

that hurt a little but regardless

#

its like

#

A lottery

whole musk
#

not exactly in a good way but

brittle mountain
calm atlas
#

Its like gambling

snow crypt
#

I was expecting the worst from everywhere in March

brittle mountain
#

rejections leave me empty

whole musk
#

they stir me up idk

snow crypt
#

I got waitlisted at Santa Clara University

calm atlas
#

Gambling with my hs career

snow crypt
#

which destroyed my ego

brittle mountain
#

maybe cause iโ€™m not expecting the worst tbh

#

idk why i have hope ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

snow crypt
#

but we good now

brittle mountain
#

kinda sad but we move

whole musk
snow crypt
#

missouri ๐Ÿคข

calm atlas
#

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

whole musk
#

but WashU has a high ED rate and EDII as well making RD more difficult in my opinion (hard coping i know)

desert oriole
#

@calm atlas u do have a valid reason for appeal tho

#

lowkey

#

u should do that

calm atlas
#

for la?

desert oriole
#

if u get lucky with the new couple of AOs

#

that's good

#

yeah

brittle mountain
#

i hate telling my parents i got rejected

#

idk but thatโ€™s the worst part for me

calm atlas
#

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 ๐Ÿ˜ญ

calm atlas
delicate badger
calm atlas
#

not because how theyโ€™ll respond but just feeling like i wanted to show something nice for them

brittle mountain
#

like they think iโ€™m capable of getting in anywhere and i hate crushing that for them by telling them i got rejected ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

i just feel bad

#

cause iโ€™m like messing up the idea they have of me in their head

calm atlas
brittle mountain
#

pulled the mixed card for my nyu diversity essay

#

praying to god it worked

whole musk
#

but they know that i'm the one suffering the most

calm atlas
#

my parents dont say anything but still

whole musk
#

so they always offer support

calm atlas
#

my dad gets so excited

brittle mountain
#

my dad feels really bad for me

my parents have been pretty uninvolved in my college process they just want me to go to college period

eager violet
#

I think he just googled the acceptance rate and got too real

calm atlas
#

LMAO

brittle mountain
#

tbf my parents donโ€™t really understand how hard the college admissions process is so they think itโ€™s easy for me to get in anywhere

calm atlas
#

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

brittle mountain
#

nahh be positive

#

we got this

calm atlas
#

imma need a new house ๐Ÿ’ฏ

brittle mountain
#

Cal sucks if they reject us ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž

snow crypt
#

blue and yellow fits all the UCs ๐Ÿ˜

calm atlas
#

thats true

snow crypt
#

which btw kinda annoys me

#

they all feel same-y

calm atlas
#

except for the fact that key has huge CAL letters on it

#

maybe its symbolic

snow crypt
#

it probably is

calm atlas
#

he gave me the key to cal

#

real

snow crypt
#

if it is I don't care

calm atlas

i have realistic outlooks on admissions and iโ€™m able to tell when i have a decent chance of getting in

i feel like everyone was tryna convince me iโ€™d get into all the ucโ€™s 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 itโ€™s been my top school for 7 years

#

now i wanna transfer to uci after ucsd tbh to do game design

if you're not full pay (such as you have a merit scholarship), usc can be considered

what major tho

vestal turret

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

vestal turret
#

its actualy not a scholarship from the uni

itself
