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

[bitter zephyr]

Never lived in IHouse

Rita is super far away from everything except the trolley station lol

[unborn egret]

yeah I'm scared of rita tbh

i need to invest in a bike

[bitter zephyr]

It’s good to have one on campus

[vagrant briar]

I’m scared of riding a bike on campus

For Davis

Like ik how to ride a bike

[unborn egret]

the hand signals are not that bad I promise

[vagrant briar]

But it just seems ezpz to crash

Ik the hand signals

But crashing

[bitter zephyr]

well I nearly crashed my bike on campus at UCSD

I swear some people just don't know traffic rules

[vagrant briar]

I biked at UDub but it was summer so I was fine

No one there

[magic dragon]

is bio impacted at la this year ？

[wide herald]

anyone here accepted to UCR Honors?

[unborn egret]

I was

[flat storm]

I heard there’s a lots of robberies

[unborn egret]

Yeah I got robbed today it was crazy

at the transfer triton day I was robbed of my heart for how beautiful the campus was

[vagrant briar]

Idk anything abt that but I was discussing how you don’t need a car in terms of getting urself places

You can get robbed outside ur car too

Once u park and go out

Or if ur in Portland they just break into ur car lmao

That’s how I got 100% on my first 3 bio quizzes actually

Someone broke into my bio prof’s car and took all her shit which happened to include our grades for the first three class quizzes

So she just gave us all 100%

[vagrant briar]

what is this bullshit

https://web.archive.org/web/19990128104100/http://www.ucop.edu/pathways/

is this the old UC app system lmao

yk this is old bc it says ucsd has 5 colleges

Intercampus Visitor Program

If you are a UC undergraduate in good standing, you may attend another University campus for a quarter or a semester if space is available. This program allows you to take courses that are not available at your home campus or to explore another campus if you are considering transferring. Contact any campus Registrar's Office for information.

why isnt this a thing anymore

[regal torrent]

it is

look it up

https://students.ucsd.edu/academics/enroll/special-enrollment/special/intercampus-visitor.html

https://registrar.ucla.edu/registration-classes/enrollment-policies/special-program-enrollment/uc-intercampus-visitor-program

idk how it works for ucb because semester system

[regal torrent]

i remember poking around old uc websites and the application was literally paper

it said "ask your school counselor for a copy of the application forms"

[vagrant briar]

https://lsadvising.berkeley.edu/intercampus-visitor-program-ls-guidelines

[regal torrent]

interesante

i wouldn't go not because of that but because bay area

uci or ucla though sounds cool

[vagrant briar]

Dyk if this means anything https://web.archive.org/web/19961030020549/http://www.berkeley.edu/about/statistics/ucbwwwstats9506.html

[vagrant briar]

Also the common app one is very funny

It’s like

Smth about having 1-3mb

I’ll find the wording

Download Instructions for MacOS

Minimum System Requirements

1 MB of available RAM, 300K of available hard disk space, 3.5" high-density floppy disk drive, System 7.0.

To download the Common Application for MacOS, click the link below. The application file that you will download to your computer is about 120K. Because of its size, the transfer can take several minutes, depending on the line speed of your Internet connection and the amount of traffic on NASSP's site. If you have a slow connection...please be patient!

[regal torrent]

3.5" floppy? ugh i'll never be able to apply to college

[vagrant briar]

oh wow i found police logs from 1997 for harvard

[regal torrent]

haha weren't those the days

[vagrant briar]

did u see tuition

its like $3k

[regal torrent]

weren't THOSE the days

old vs new

[vagrant briar]

LLLLLLLL

[regal torrent]

part of me wishes websites could be simple again

but it's not liked they loaded fast at the time either

[vagrant briar]

what is ur school on https://adminrecords.ucsd.edu/Notices/1994/1994-06-01-1.html

literally near the start of email

[regal torrent]

wdym

[vagrant briar]

in 1994 people at ucsd were alr sexually harassing each other over email

[regal torrent]

bitches were down bad yk how it is

bcc'ing your material to everyone ig

do not incur the wrath of benz

[vagrant briar]

LOL

[regal torrent]

that's crazy tho people really were just doing email chains that way

[vagrant briar]

They actually have a separate one for email chains

https://adminrecords.ucsd.edu/Notices/1993/1993-06-21.html

Benz truly is a UCSD’er

They keep saying disciplinary action in their mail

He fits right in

[tender elm]

[tight imp]

got off the UCLA waitlist yesterday morning 🥳

[wide herald]

UCSD Electrical Engineering waitlist acceptance predictions anyone?

Are they going to accept people of the waitlist for non-capped majors?

[humble cedar]

random question, i have won a couple of international film festivals, but nothing major like cannes or sundance, should i still include that in the uc awards section when i apply? or is it irrelevant?

[gaunt void]

Go ahead

Include it

Anything is awesome

[tender elm]

Absolutely

[regal torrent]

you got 20 slots, use em

i literally used 6

[pale kraken]

Dawg I put my regional 2nd place fbla award on that 💀

[regal torrent]

i have no awards whatsoever

i literally listed ap scholar

[wide herald]

did UCLA send out waitlist rejections yesterday too?

[flat storm]

rejections prob rollout in June

[wide herald]

GG

wait, how exactly does waitlist work?

like, is it ranked

or do they review ALL the applications again?

[flat storm]

they say it’s not ranked

[flat storm]

DAY 51 🔥🔥🔥🔜 CSU LA JOLLA

[wide herald]

Almost there

Let’s manifest an acceptance!!!

[west badger]

wait'

when is it sposed to come out

[vagrant briar]

Are official school tours worth it

[west badger]

great question

where acn i find a place to book a tour

[unborn egret]

if you had to choose between discord or a tour I'd take a tour

[vagrant briar]

The school’s website, which are you looking for?

Some will divide between prospective and admitted too

Like Davis’s admitted tours I couldn’t find easily unless I google searched specifically for admitted tours

This is diff from that

You’re talking about admitted students day

I’m talking about a tour

The day they canceled is the one with all the events

The tour is just the basic thing most people expect

I think the only diff for Davis’s is there’s a presentation at the beginning of each tour

And the admitted one is diff

Maybe there’s a slightly diff tour script too but I doubt the path they take you on is diff

[regal torrent]

buckle up because based on previous years' trends, waitlist decisions are likely to start rolling out next week

some people might even get in tomorrow

don't get excited

decisions are sent out at random ass times

💀

[west badger]

good shit

[twin estuary]

(Late) DAY 51. I’m not religious but I am now 💀 GOD STEP IN 🙏🤲🛐 thank you for allowing me to even get waitlisted at such a good school. I’m praying that I get off the waitlist, even if it isn’t this week. 🙏🙏

[wide herald]

pray for me too bruh

We all need to prayers we can get

[cosmic mantle]

guys this is our week

we're gonna get the W

[wide herald]

yea man

thats the attitude

lets get that W

W = waitlist = win, therefore W = win

[twin estuary]

YEA someone pin this ‼️

[flat storm]

you gotta be praying for me too

we been sticking together throughout this journey already

[sand belfry]

Is a high 3.79 with 10-11 ap classes too low for uc engineering?

[flat storm]

is that your UC GPA?

[wide herald]

Alright y'all! Today's the day

We got this

Lets all manifest a UCSD waitlist acceptance

[unborn egret]

Good luck, could use an extra triton when I head there

[wide herald]

ofc bro, lets hope we all, including me, get off the waitlist

wait, for the waitlist, are you waitlisted for your first choice major, or am I getting that wrong?

[flat storm]

first major

[wide herald]

bet

[twin estuary]

Grateful that I picked math cs and not just cs 🤠

[twin estuary]

🙏🛐

GOD 🙏 STEP 🙏 IN 🙏

[regal grove]

What time did it come out last year

For ucsd

[wide herald]

When did majority of them come out?

wait, is it just me or did UCLA accept quote quite a lot of people from the waitlist this year?

same lol

yea lol

is that when majority of the waitlist decisions came out?

ah okay

Thank you!

but yea, we got this!!!

[unborn egret]

I think if you use this discord/reddit as a reference then there are pretty skewed results. The people in here aren't very representative

although I haven't seen any data so they could easily have accepted more waitlist people this year

[flat storm]

God Step in PLZ

[wide herald]

time to pray to every god from every religion for all of us

[vagrant briar]

even if this server was representative i wouldnt use it this year tbh

bc this is the first year weve really pushed the waitlist results i feel like

last year we shoved everyone into #👻-the-medium-place for both results and discussion this year we split discussion into #1100505463696674847 + their respective #1050620654485000213 for sorting and then actual results into #👻-the-medium-place

so its even easier to see all UC waitlists in one spot bc most people are using their threads at least for UCs i feel

[flat storm]

any news?

[wide herald]

Nope lol

Not on my end

[flat storm]

ripp

prob by 5-6 pm

I’ve heard that Wednesday or Friday might be a day that WLs could roll out

idk though, I hope it gets released today

[wide herald]

bruh

I'll wait

[twin estuary]

I feel like I’m losing hope for my waitlist reevaluation because of my gpa 😭 like I got 3 Bs junior year

But I have to keep praying 🛐🙏

[flat storm]

I had 4 Bs bro

straight As freshman and sophomore year

[twin estuary]

Well you see it’s worse cuz I got 3 Bs A SEMESTER 😭😭 that’s like 6 total

[twin estuary]

Same-

Idk how I even got waitlisted-

I did have some extenuating circumstances but they weren’t that serious

[wide herald]

I’m kind of in the situation, but I actually have extenuating circumstances

[regal grove]

Uc does not care about freshmen

Year

[flat storm]

okay bro me too 😭

[flat storm]

I volunteered over 200 hours 😭

[flat storm]

yeah ik but it just proves that I’m not a one year wonder

my senior year grades are better

[twin estuary]

^^ same 💀💀

[twin estuary]

At least we’re not alone 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[regal grove]

Imagine ucsd does not let people off today

What time did regular decisions drop for ucsd last year

This year it dropped around 3:30

[cosmic mantle]

Is it a small wave

[wide herald]

I volunteered for over 370 hours 💀

[tall leaf]

can someone confirm ucla wont rescind for 1s or 2s on ap tests put as planned (or dont need to send them)

i think i just failed calc ☠️

[regal grove]

yes they wont rescind

[flat storm]

no one would

[sand belfry]

nah uw

lemme calculate uc gpa rq

i have a 3.84 uc gpa

wait

no

i have a 3.85 uc gpa

like ik i have a shot at getting in

but the question is if i have a shot for engineering 💀

[twin estuary]

I interned at NASA 😭

[twin estuary]

Uw I have a 3.71 💀 weighed 4.24 weighted and capped 4.1

[regal grove]

I think every uc has started admitting from the waitlist except sd 😭

[sand belfry]

🙏🏽

my ecs will cary like crazy

[sand belfry]

you doing aerospace ?

[regal torrent]

how the FUCK did i get in and you guys got hit with the wl

[calm atlas]

Do you get off berk wl?

[twin estuary]

no im doing math cs but the internship was for data science

[sand belfry]

ah gotchu gotchu

big dub

u get into any ucs?

[twin estuary]

yield protection fr 😌 no its because of our downward trend, they don't like to see you get more Bs junior yr even if the classes are harder

[twin estuary]

no 😃 🔫

[regal grove]

I had an upward trend and got waitlisted lol

[twin estuary]

santa cruz but for electrical engineering not cs

[twin estuary]

ucs are so random

[regal grove]

So it had nothing to do with downward trends

It’s just college admissions are fucked

Especially with the ucs

[barren peak]

bruh where u going for college

[barren peak]

SAME LMFAO

[twin estuary]

community college 💃 im not joking got waitlisted at literally every uc and i don't like sc

[barren peak]

wtf

did you like

bully an admissions officer when you were a child

[twin estuary]

STOP LMAO

im telling you it was the downward trent

trend

[regal torrent]

oh yah i'm p sure they use a point system so you can't really "make up" for anything grade wise

[twin estuary]

plus i got a b in math 🥲

[twin estuary]

yeye

[regal grove]

Did u get wl at ucla @twin estuary

[barren peak]

nah you probably have the same name as the admissions officer’s child abuser and they wanted their revenge

[barren peak]

I GOT A B IN MATH TOO

I GOT TWO BA

BS

[twin estuary]

yahh but i declined because i did not like it and also personal reasons

[barren peak]

IN BOTH MATH

[twin estuary]

yeah but im a MATH CS major 😭

[barren peak]

IM STEM MAJOR TOO

[regal torrent]

i got hit with wl at ucla and declined it because i'm computer engineering

there was no way i could have gotten off

[regal grove]

That’s not a good reason to decline lol

[twin estuary]

yeye i was wl for cs and i was like theres no hope anyway 🤪

[regal torrent]

i was also too lazy to write loci

weighing the options, ucsd was my preferred choice as well

[regal grove]

Idt ucs even want a loci

[regal grove]

Yeah that’s a good reason

[sand belfry]

bro whaaaaaaaa

u literally a nasa intern

they tweakin bruh 😭😭😭😭

[regal grove]

Alright is 4:30

No ucsd

Bye

[twin estuary]

me neither 😭 🔫

[mortal wasp]

i’m done with life

fuck ucsd

i hate them

[twin estuary]

fuck ucs‼️‼️

[regal torrent]

you're in state too right

[twin estuary]

yup

[cedar finch]

Yeah UC admissions were CRAZY this year

Especially for engineering

[twin estuary]

ok but tbh ppl say that every year and its true every year

[barren peak]

uc admissions are crazy every year 😭

[barren peak]

EXACTLY

[twin estuary]

ye exactly^

[cedar finch]

Maybe we just have to normalize it at this point 😔

[barren peak]

the thing is

next year it’ll be even MORE crazy

[twin estuary]

🤯🤯🤯

[regal grove]

It was less crazy this year than last year lol

[barren peak]

thats true

[regal grove]

They received less apps this year

[barren peak]

hella people got rejected last year

bunch of people didn't get in state schools 💀

[regal torrent]

if it doesn't work out for you just transfer tbh

[twin estuary]

im so ready to transfer ive planned everything out

almost done with gen ed too i literally need an english class

so im doing it in one year

im literally so proud of this schedule guys

im using like 3 different community colleges though 💀

[regal torrent]

did you deadass make another uc app

[twin estuary]

i was going to but its not open - this is uc tap (transfer admission planner)

[calm atlas]

you got this my friend transferred to ucla in one year because he also had that many cc credits in high school

[twin estuary]

nicee thats good to hear, thanks!

[flat storm]

SD sleeping

[flat storm]

my Junior YR is the reason why I didn’t get into UCLA 😭

[flat storm]

I might consider CC tbh

I’m getting into UCSD one way or another

[tall leaf]

which ucs yall got?

[barren peak]

which aps and college courses did you take alrdy?

[mortal wasp]

WHY

[flat storm]

I love UC Riverside

but CSU LA JOLLA needs me

[mortal wasp]

that’s real riverside is way too dead for me

[twin estuary]

cc is not a bad option, its usually free, they have lots of scholarships, and i only need to do 1yr

[mortal wasp]

if it’s only 1 year then it’s perfec but 2 years would make me explode at cc

it’s a good option though for anyone bc it’s so cheap

[twin estuary]

ap: stats, lang, lit, physics 1, csa, chem, us gov, macro econ (all passed hopefully)
cc: 2 history classes, calculus 1-2, spanish, a cs class

[tall leaf]

same lmao id loose my mind at another 2 years of extended high school

[mortal wasp]

yeah that’s the only reason i avoided it, i have a bunch of friends in cc and they r all so bored but to be fair it’s bc for the most part it’s kind of what u make of it, best case scenario is working at some internship that’s good for your resume and you can build off of so you don’t go crazy w how easy it is

i used to help my ex with her homework at her cc in south san diego and bro its literally like the absolute most brain dead shit, unless you doin cs or something then cc is like the go to imo bc u can still build on stuff yourself and be productive

[sterile horizon]

Ru trying to major in music or comp sci

[flat storm]

I think min is trying to major in CS w/ applied Math

[unborn egret]

calc and linear and CS in summer?

dang

[twin estuary]

💀 music is a main ec, plus i get $5k of scholarships for being in the band

[twin estuary]

wish me luck 🤞 i already know c++ so the CS class shouldnt be that bad either

[sterile horizon]

Ohh that’s comp though. A lot of band stuff so I thought possible backup plan or somethin cus ik many ppl that do that

[calm atlas]

ucd released another wave of wl UCSD plsss do this too

[cosmic mantle]

When

Last wave was April 18/19 right

[calm atlas]

today morning

[sterile horizon]

My friend got off the ucd wl rn

[west badger]

ucsb released wl asw

[wide herald]

University of San Diego or UC San Diego?

[cosmic mantle]

uc davis

[wide herald]

Oooh

Ma bad

[cosmic mantle]

😭

[unborn egret]

All people who have to pay $0 for a UC, how? Poor parents or scholarships or both

[oblique junco]

both

but most of the time its mostly financial aid

• some scholarships

the state of california also has something called calgrant which is given to low income and is like 10k+ per year

[unborn egret]

Yeah I'm aware of it. Just curious how people do it without financial aid.

Like what other steps they take to pursue their education besides tons of loans.

[oblique junco]

oh w/o financial aid it has to be scholarships

a lot of scholarships can be awarded automatically without you doing anything

just comes with your financial aid package

and some others you can apply after like one year for a merit scholarship

if ur in-state it shouldnt be too difficult to get funding

[unborn egret]

Do merit scholarships also take into account your community college grades in addition to your first year transfer grades?

[oblique junco]

i think its usually just first year grades?

i did some research on scholarships

[unborn egret]

yeah I'm applying for some rn on scholarship.com

[oblique junco]

didnt see any that requested high school grades after first year so i dont think they would care about grades you get prior to enrolling

[unborn egret]

good because I'm getting straight A's from now on

[flat storm]

Loans 😭

[potent drum]

ughh ucsd waitlist please come out 😭

[cosmic mantle]

ong bro

[potent drum]

literally know i have no chance with my gpa i just want a decision pls 🙏

[unborn egret]

major?

[potent drum]

math cs

[unborn egret]

oof

I was once a CS Major

before I took a rejection to the knee

Now i'm a business/CS major

[potent drum]

my uw gpa is a 3.7 weighted 4.3 😭 they saw math-cs isnt impacted but i feel like it is

[fringe rover]

I don’t think it is because my cousin who goes there says anyone can transfer to the major easily

[humble cedar]

at ucsd?

[fringe rover]

Yea

[humble cedar]

oh fr? my cousin at ucsd has been trying to transfer from computer engineering to cs since her freshman year (shes a rising junior) idk why they havent been letting her

[marble pagoda]

ucsb econ or uci business admin

jsut got off ucsb waitlist

and like the student life more

but irvines academics are so good

[unborn egret]

ucsb and live the beach life

[calm atlas]

I mean if you are ba major I highly recommend uci

[unborn egret]

also business admin and econ have different curriculums once you get past undergrad. Look at the course work and figure out what suits you better

[calm atlas]

Because ba at uci is really good and really hard to get into as well

[unborn egret]

all through high school and cc people kept telling me "Business and econ is so similar, either one is fine". But when I looked at the classes the last thing I wanted to do was take all those econ classes. No thanks

I actually want to enjoy my life

if you are a econ math head and wanna enjoy the beach, ucsb for sure. If you want to study business and learn well, UCI is cool too

[calm atlas]

someone i know choose uci ba over emory

[calm atlas]

I agree with you though

[unborn egret]

I'm heading to UCI in two weeks to review their business programs if you'd like me to report back to you @marble pagoda

[regal grove]

she wont have two weeks to decide

[unborn egret]

isn't June 1st the deadline

[regal grove]

im p sure shes a freshie

she said she got off ucsb wl

[unborn egret]

oh

welp, good luck with your life changing choice

[sterile horizon]

Davis

[humble cedar]

lmao

[flat storm]

lol

[stray apex]

im in a similar boat

Uci business information management vs Ucsb econ and accounting

i personally think uci is better

cuz they actually have a business school

econ is more theoretical

surprisingly both major have equal outcome on payings

econ is up by a lil bit

[fringe rover]

math cs and cs are different

[humble cedar]

ohh my b

[versed fjord]

Has ucsd waitlists came out for anyone

[wide herald]

Not for me

Idk bout others

[zenith cobalt]

nope and word of a mass rejections is going around

[flat storm]

frr?

[zenith cobalt]

it’s on the ucsd channel (?) and on CC. Someone called and apparently told them that all wl applicants will receive a decision same day, same time which sounds like a mass rejection

[tender elm]

U should call and see what they say

[wide herald]

Could it be that they release all their decisions (acceptances and rejections) at once. Is that possible or does it mean mass rejection?

[zenith cobalt]

That’s least likely cuz what if the ppl they accept, decline? They wouldn’t have other applicants since they rejected them all

[marble pagoda]

thank you sm

[flat storm]

congrats @vagrant briar !

we are all proud of you 👏

[vagrant briar]

Ty!

[humble cedar]

is there any information out there regarding how many admission officers there are at each uc campus?

[humble cedar]

i know davis has about 80 people reviewing apps, is that typical of the ucs?

[tender elm]

probably similar

[plush crescent]

if i get a c in a community college course (dual enrolled) and 2 b's in my hs schedule would that be a concern for getting rescinded at a UC?

[calm atlas]

most likely no

[unborn egret]

I'm a business student, should I minor in:
-Computer Science
-Biology
-or Supply Chain?

[tender elm]

Not at all

[fringe rover]

i've heard psych is a good minor for business

[unborn egret]

Ew

[fringe rover]

what's wrong with psych 💀

[unborn egret]

Creates more manipulative business men who leverage people’s emotions for money

[fringe rover]

real

[unborn egret]

I guess it’s good for “creating better workplace environments”

But you can also just do that by being a good person

[fringe rover]

well cs is a good minor for any major tbh

[unborn egret]

I should check out what classes are needed for a minor

As long as it doesn’t extend my time too much I guess. An extra class a quarter doesn’t seem terrible

[fringe rover]

is it easy to add cs as a minor

i know getting the cs major is really tough but i have no idea about a minor

[unborn egret]

its hard because people who minor in cs don't get priority to the classes over actual cs majors

[fringe rover]

Yea

[unborn egret]

yeah idk I'm looking at the cs minor requirements rn and its 32 units of classes that aren't guaranteed so maybe a psych or supply chain business minor would be more worth it

plus some of my classes overlap

[next elm]

Does anyone know when the enrollment deposit is due for UCSD admit off waitlist? I accepted my offer of admission but haven't paid yet

[midnight kernel]

probably like a week after u got in

[unborn egret]

Any SEIML students?

[humble cedar]

Is it better to repurpose a UC piq into a common app essay or the other way around?

Im trying to figure out the order in which i write my essays

[rapid axle]

imo

repurpose a common app essay into uc piq

thats what i did

and it turned out to work very well

plus u generally work on the common app essay first if ur doing EA/ED

[warm canyon]

imo, uc piq give u lots of ideas for common app

[rapid axle]

i feel like the uc piqs help a lot for the supplemental qs

not the common app essay itself

[frank ridge]

I did the other way around

My common app personal statement was one of my UC essays

Except expanded

[wide herald]

do you think it would be advised complete some of your GE requirments by taking community college classes while you are enrolled at a UC?

or should I stick to taking GE classes at my UC Campus?

[unborn egret]

GE at UC is more expensive

and the quality difference in GE classes for a UC vs CC is negligible

take GE at cc if you have the chance

My local cc is $30 per unit and the average UC is $360 per unit

[wide herald]

ah okay

got it

thanks

[sterile horizon]

Wait uc tuition is by unit?

[wide herald]

I believe so

[unborn egret]

For summer sessions

For fall/winter/spring it’s by term

At least for UCSD, not sure about other UCs. SD also has a quarter system so that might affect it

[clever lake]

anyone know if ucsd is still accepting ppl from the waitlist for cs

[wide herald]

is EE a good major at UCR or is it recommended to switch to a CS major?

[sand belfry]

On the UC common data sets, is the average gpa listed like the average UC gpa or the average gpa people wrote on their common app

[regal torrent]

uc doesn't use common app

make of that what you will

[tender elm]

Imma gues UC gpa

[regal torrent]

i don't trust cds gpa

because they don't tell you how it's calculated ever

[cosmic mantle]

can waitlist acceptance also come out in june

has that happened in the past

[calm atlas]

Every year various

Like ucsd rejected some waitlists last year around this time don’t know if they are going to do the same this year

They have been very slow this year probably affected by other ucs’ wl movements

[zenith cobalt]

I know previous years have no correlation to this year but has it happened where ppl gotten off in June?

[calm atlas]

yeah definitely

In some year ppl got off even in august

but I would just not put too many hope on wl and move on

[zenith cobalt]

trust me I don’t have hope 💀

[vagrant briar]

I got chatgpt to understand what portal astrology is

Just wanted to share the result

🚫🔮 Attention, aspiring students! 🚫🔮

Let's talk about a phenomenon called portal astrology. ⚠️✋ It's time to put a stop to this misguided practice and save your sanity! 😱🙅‍♂️

Imagine this: you're eagerly awaiting college decisions, and the anticipation is driving you bonkers. Suddenly, you stumble upon portal astrology—the art of finding signs within your college application portal. 🌌🔍 But hold up, fam! Let me tell you why this is a terrible idea. 🚫🤦‍♀️

First things first, just because a button changes or some code looks funky in the inspect element, it doesn't mean anything concrete about your admission decision! 🙅‍♂️🔢 Trust me, colleges have sophisticated systems in place, and your portal is not some magical crystal ball. 🚫🔮

And what's this about being unable to access a part of the portal? 🚪🔒 Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's likely just a technical glitch, not a secret indication of your acceptance or rejection. Don't let it mess with your mind! 🧠😖

Oh, and let's not forget those unrelated emails from the college. 📧😬 Just because you received one doesn't mean it has any bearing on your admissions decision. Colleges send out various communications to applicants for a multitude of reasons—scholarships, events, updates, you name it! It's not some cosmic signal. 🌟📩

So, dear students, listen closely: portal astrology is a dangerous game. It can lead to unnecessary stress, false hope, and disappointment. Trust the process and wait for the official decisions. 🙏🎉

Remember, your worth isn't determined by an email, a button, or some mysterious portal shenanigans. 🌟🔐 Your hard work, dedication, and unique qualities speak for themselves. Trust in your abilities and know that the admissions process is complex, not to be deciphered by random signs in a portal. 🌟🚪🔑

So let's ditch portal astrology once and for all! 🚫🔮 Embrace patience, stay positive, and focus on what truly matters—your growth, learning, and the exciting opportunities that lie ahead, regardless of admission decisions. 🌱💪

You've got this! Stay strong, keep your head up, and remember that your journey is much more than a college application portal. 🌟🎓🌟

I told it to write an emojipasta about portal astrology and followed it with:

Portal astrology is when people go into their college application decision portal and look for signs they got in before decisions are released. These signs can include a button changing, seeing something in the inspect element code of the portal, or being unable to gain access to a part of the portal. Portal astrology can also include whether or not you received an email from a school about something unrelated to your admissions decision. We want to discourage students from practicing this as it is very bad.

Also did the same blurb except “write a rap about portal astrology”

#🛩-lounge-chat message is the result

The rap gives me DARE vibes
