[verbal palm]

and asian parents

[turbid ermine]

thats applying to ucs or general?

[verbal palm]

in general

[turbid ermine]

i believe our census number in march 2023 was 19%ish CA?

[verbal palm]

that's a fair share but then again most sweaty academics come from CA anyways

and only the sweatiest of sweats would be in a discord server for uhh applying to college

dawg we should be playing fortnite or smth not asking about UC

[verbal palm]

wait how did you even calculate this number

guys the mods are spoofing our IPs

[turbid ermine]

its not gonna be the actual number, but we let whoever wanted to fill out an anon census

got ~560 responses

[verbal palm]

oh nice

[royal steppe]

bay area kids be like

[verbal palm]

TRUE

dawg i'm glad i'm not from the bay

[turbid ermine]

funnily enough socal beats norcal

in here

[verbal palm]

i applied EA to USC lmao

[royal steppe]

hmm

[turbid ermine]

not by much

[turbid ermine]

https://www.ucop.edu/institutional-research-academic-planning/content-analysis/ug-admissions/ug-pages/applications.html

[verbal palm]

your classmates probably are lmao

anyways feelsbad

like 90% of the ppl applying in state to the UCs are probably cracked

[royal steppe]

oh im in a semiwell known school so im not gonna say which part of the bay

[teal coral]

wtf only 45% are instate?? thats crazy

[verbal palm]

i dunno shite about cali

[teal coral]

thats like 130k people applying oos

[verbal palm]

oh jesus

[royal steppe]

i would say im a perfectionist tho
that B in calc...

[verbal palm]

130k students wtf

[turbid ermine]

if you go to school in CA this tool may work for you https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/about-us/information-center/admissions-source-school

[royal steppe]

DAMNN

[verbal palm]

can yall leave some for the rest of us

[turbid ermine]

make sure the county is selected correctly

[royal steppe]

what do these mean

[teal coral]

damn my school is terirble

[turbid ermine]

applied, admitted, enrolled

[royal steppe]

oh

[verbal palm]

is 51 out of 58 not a good admissions rate

[teal coral]

OH

[turbid ermine]

you can search by campus too

[teal coral]

I THOUGHT IT WAS PERCENTAGE

[verbal palm]

2/3 is nice

[turbid ermine]

like at your school within ucla

[verbal palm]

i'd still take a 50% admissions rate bruh

[turbid ermine]

use the other tabs too

[royal steppe]

this is so interesting

[turbid ermine]

theres one that shows your hs's gpa

at ucs

that got admitted and stuff

[teal coral]

bruh mine is a 4.1

[royal steppe]

damn this is for my school at berkely

[turbid ermine]

enrolled gpa for berkeley at my school was 4.34

[royal steppe]

this is UC overall

[teal coral]

gfc thats crazy

[royal steppe]

berkely average enrolled is 4.3

[turbid ermine]

use this tab

[royal steppe]

guys its over for me

[turbid ermine]

this tab looks nicer

[royal steppe]

oooo

[turbid ermine]

basically any of the ones that say "by HS" look nicer

vs "by Yr"

[royal steppe]

its over guys
the schools i applied to mostly have 4.3 admit GPA rip

for my school

[teal coral]

atp i wonder if essays even matter

are ucs just a numbers game?

[turbid ermine]

page 25-30 https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/counselors/_files/documents/quick-reference-guide-to-uc-admissions.pdf

27/28 matters if ur undeclared

or a cs type major

really a solid number of majors actually lol

im ngl this is pretty funny

[royal steppe]

damn

[agile wedge]

SOCAL BEST CAL❗️❗️❗️❗️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[turbid ermine]

L i was 0.07 off

auto reject from UCLA

[agile wedge]

So I can find my school?

[turbid ermine]

that also means only 1/5 schools that had a chance of admitting me actually read my piqs and they rejected me lmfao

[turbid ermine]

if you went to school in CA yes

[agile wedge]

Aight let’s go

How do I search?

I go to a smaller school

[turbid ermine]

get on a laptop if you arent already

it works dogshit on mobile

[agile wedge]

Explains

[turbid ermine]

then it depends on what you wanna see

[agile wedge]

I’ll look later then

[turbid ermine]

its p easy to figure out on laptop

[gentle wyvern]

It’s like when u are borderline right from waitlist and acceptance and I think it’s random also

[agile wedge]

it is what it is then

[fallen musk]

yo thats interesting

thought it was sd instead of irvine

coolcool

[humble nova]

I heard they usually have a reason

[valid crater]

did anyone have any issues with the uc davis application portal? i entered my information exactly as is from my application but it says the details are wrong?

[uneven isle]

yep i had the same issue so did my friend so i think its a system problem

[valid crater]

what did you do?

[uneven isle]

i js tried to log in and it said my info didnt match my uc application info

so ill js try again later therws no hurry

[gentle wyvern]

i had that issue to, but pls make sure u are using the right id and email

read what it says carefully

its different from the other ucs

it uses id

[uneven isle]

yeah i used the id it gave me idk its not a big deal

[valid crater]

yeah same

[valid crater]

yeah i legit copy pasted the id from the email

[novel cave]

yeah ik

its weird

[hasty matrix]

Is it actually true it’s basically impossible to graduate in 4 years because of the absolute bloodbath of choosing classes

[valid crater]

so what do i do now 😭

[oblique sierra]

people have portals?

[valid crater]

i only got ucd

[oblique sierra]

neither UCB or UCSD

i thought about adding UCLA but it got full rip

[gentle wyvern]

its not that big of deal from what ik of. its just slow process

[oblique sierra]

;p
i just wanna make sure everything is in properly

my counselor isn't the greatest

[novel cave]

same but idk how to get in lmaoo

[humble nova]

I had to change my password like 3 times

[naive pivot]

No AP credits exist and its not that bad as people say

My sister was ready to graduate UCB a year early because of ap credits

[valid crater]

how did you log in in the first place

[eternal frigate]

Bruh idk how many credits I need to grad a year earlier

[naive pivot]

Most likely you wont be graduating, my sister decided to complete all 4 years

but usually if u have alot of ap credits and ur in rausser or letters and science its easy to end a year early

[humble nova]

I just did the net id thing first

And then the portal didn’t work

So I reset my password a ton

[fallen musk]

if yall be worried about graduating early take some cc classes while in UC

that shit will stack basically

but dont take ethnic studies at cc because we cc students also need them </3

[naive pivot]

Yeah its usually not a problem to graduate on time from what ive seen

[fallen musk]

yeah if ur looking to do it, then u can do it

[valid crater]

its not working for me 😭

[fallen musk]

ap credits 100% can stack like execution said

it can also enable prerequisite skips for certain classes

[naive pivot]

they go crazy

[fallen musk]

like calc bc

if u do calc bc

get a 5

u skip calc 2

go straight to calc 3

if u do ap stats

[naive pivot]

thats fire

[fallen musk]

u dont need the stats course if thats a lower div

if u do ap lang/lit

u skip the first writing class

[naive pivot]

Yep

[fallen musk]

uh what else

idk not sure about ap psych

[naive pivot]

Ill have first year done at any uc when i attend next year thankfully because i stacked aps

[fallen musk]

phys c can skip some phys lower divs

same with bio and chem

[valid crater]

what about gov/history

[fallen musk]

free history credits and gov credits

those are generally GEs

the ones i mentioned are prerequisite skips

but basically all APs will be credited for GEs

[fallen musk]

which is important for finishing early

you can have as many credits as u want but if u have a chain of like five classes to go through you cannot consider yourself to be skipping years

[naive pivot]

So to answer your questions, no everyone graduates on time 👍👍

[fallen musk]

like i have 60+ units rn

at cc

and i will be getting 60+ more

but i cannot consider myself a true junior transfer because i dont have my cs sequence done

or my math sequence

[naive pivot]

That sounds hard

[fallen musk]

not unless you sacrifice your ecs

😭

but yeah

if ap classes had a tier list id personally rank them off of how much they do for skipping prereqs

and if i were to do it all over again id probably just take the ap classes at a cc instead

because one term vs one full school year of the same amount of credits goes crazy

anyway yeah if yall find urself at a uc & dont get the classes u want just take them at a cc

especially if theyre GEs, employers dont really care about ur GE stuff

[eternal frigate]

So theoretically if someone has 12 aps and 12 cc courses can they grad in 3yrs

[fallen musk]

depends are you an engineering major and didnt take any calculus and your last math class was precalculus?

no

[eternal frigate]

Bio major

[fallen musk]

mmmmmm

did u do ap calc 1

[eternal frigate]

Calc bc

[fallen musk]

o

ok

what grade

5?

[eternal frigate]

all 5a

[fallen musk]

if u get like a 5 u skip calc 2

cool

i guess u could

well

12*3

36

idk man

are u sure it isnt like 1.5

years

[eternal frigate]

What does rhat mean

[naive pivot]

Just take the classes

[fallen musk]

like one year and a semester

xD

[naive pivot]

Units for berkeley

[fallen musk]

damn yall be talking BERKELEY

im talking la

ucla is my favorite :3

[naive pivot]

Oop

[eternal frigate]

Idfk tbh Ill probably digure out when I get admitted

[naive pivot]

Both the same

[fallen musk]

yeah

mmmmm

[eternal frigate]

(if I get admitted)*

[fallen musk]

ok

[eternal frigate]

LOL

[fallen musk]

if it doesnt work out

[naive pivot]

im familiar with berkeleys units system but yea

[fallen musk]

ask if u can take more cc classes

i dont go to berkeley

[naive pivot]

Most just do 4 years

why not

[fallen musk]

becasue im at a cc

loook see

my username

is a joke

[naive pivot]

loll fire

[fallen musk]

you need to know what cdss stands for

it's an elaborate play on words

[naive pivot]

transfer?

[fallen musk]

yeah thats the plan

next yr tho

🫡 🫡

[naive pivot]

ur getting in very likely

[fallen musk]

hoping this transfer app fails

no

i dont wanna

dude if i get in that would be the end of me

[naive pivot]

In state transfers are like 75% acceptance right

[fallen musk]

cus 50% of my lower divs are not done

[naive pivot]

Damn

[fallen musk]

and i am not shelling out thousands for a single class

[naive pivot]

yea cc is good for that

[fallen musk]

ya xD

[naive pivot]

will do cc if my app doesent work out, always a good option

[fallen musk]

i b enrolled in two ccs full time for that free stuff

[fallen musk]

ya fs fs

[naive pivot]

take advantage of the system fr

[fallen musk]

shoulda lowk done maybe the lacc system

• my local one

but it is what it is

[naive pivot]

Idk my local ccs all have crazy good rates of transfers

[fallen musk]

nah nah its more for class opportunities

cus i thought i was done with UC GEs right

no

they had to add ethnic studies

those WHORES

now im out here scrambling to find a cc that has ethnic studies

[naive pivot]

Ethnic studies whaaat

[fallen musk]

cus all these ccs barely have any ethnic studies

[naive pivot]

the major is crazy

[fallen musk]

ya

its new fr

no

it's a GE dawg

[naive pivot]

no…

[fallen musk]

u will take it if u go to a UC

it is

[naive pivot]

☠️☠️

[fallen musk]

im sorry lil bro

[naive pivot]

Im majoring in env sci

why ethnic studies

☠️

[fallen musk]

ya but ur GES

it probably isnt as bad as the cc system

[naive pivot]

That sucks

[fallen musk]

because ucop actually cares for the uc system

but the cc system basically has no ethnic studies classes

ucop -> uc office of the president

basicallyt heyre the whores who choose to force this upon us

cries

anyway rant over wishing u guys luck on apps

thank u for entertaining my stupid thoughts xD

[naive pivot]

Yikess

no yea thats crazy for a GE

[fallen musk]

yuh

yeah idk how bad it is in the uc system itself

basically i advise everyone who goes into the cc system, get an ethnic studies class asap

you can get your lower divs whenever u want but ethnic studies classes run out quickly

[tough lark]

???

Read their requirements

It doesn't apply to those enrolled before 2023

[fallen musk]

yeah are you enrolling after 2023

[tough lark]

Their talking about cc

[fallen musk]

yeah this is my first year dawg

[tough lark]

Ok nvm

Good thing I started in 2022

[fallen musk]

wait tf

are u a hs senior

:flooshed:

bro is smurfing

see ur the true smurf here

also im not entirely sure how it works if ur going from dual enrollment but mygeneral understanding is that you have category rights to the first term you've been consistently enrolled in

[south flame]

No this is valid and worth celebration (me coping)

[fallen musk]

so my guess is that if you're in DE/early college and have been enrolled in cc classes consistently over those terms, the earliest you enrolled in is the GE requirements you will be completing

[fallen musk]

would be valid if my parents were ok with it </3

but no, @tough lark you are 100% correct

sexy man

fr

[south flame]

Its valid no matter what cause we are all valid

Yes I am really coping

[fallen musk]

evident fr but uc merced is still a huge W

like top 9% is nothing to scoff at

it probably doesnt seem like much if you surround yourself with ap/honors students all the time but there's 91% of people who didnt get your opportunity

[tough lark]

That's what I thought yea

[fallen musk]

are u transfer

:3

[tough lark]

Nope

[fallen musk]

wtf

[tough lark]

my school is a special school

[fallen musk]

bro just knows

oh

early college

:3

[tough lark]

Middle college high school program

[fallen musk]

EARLY COLLEGE

omg

ur brain so sexy

built diff

[tough lark]

Nah

I was a really bad student once upon a time

But I decided to take a shot at this new school they opened

Apparently that was the best choice ever

[fallen musk]

yeah 100%

altho lowk early college imo is hit or miss

depending on what they allow u to do

sometimes even the local high schools get better opps than u

just off of counselors being more lenient with what u can do

[tough lark]

Mine is extremely insane xd

[fallen musk]

like my sister gets better opps than the local early college here

[tough lark]

Yea mine is a very new one so

[fallen musk]

but generally if you're allowed to take real cc classes before junior year

[tough lark]

They spent a long time prepping

[fallen musk]

it's a good early college

bonus points if you have a good support system and allow students to enroll in other ccs as well as dual enrollment

[tough lark]

I'm not entirely done with the GEs

[fallen musk]

yeah thats fine

but totally possible for u

i know u can do it man

[next sinew]

same here

[tough lark]

I really don't wanna take English bro

[fallen musk]

emailt hem

[fallen musk]

okok

[tough lark]

That just sounds miserable

[fallen musk]

heres my line of thought

u pay $1000

[next sinew]

ok ty

[fallen musk]

for an english class

at a uc

or

[tough lark]

I'm basically done with everything else

[fallen musk]

u take it at a cc

and you dont have to deal too much

with it

[tough lark]

Fun fact

[fallen musk]

wait wait

[tough lark]

You can take cc

[fallen musk]

wait

[tough lark]

While in Berkeley

[fallen musk]

i enrolled during the spring 2022

does that mean

im not in cal

LOL

[tough lark]

Means ur chilling

[fallen musk]

Society Major

[tough lark]

I know ur not haha

I'm just saying

[fallen musk]

yaya

[tough lark]

You can just cheat the system by taking mid classes at cc

[fallen musk]

ok but ty

[tough lark]

Even while at Berkeley

[fallen musk]

take the english class

even if like

[tough lark]

💀

[fallen musk]

during the spring sem

[tough lark]

I'm doing ethics and calc for spring

[fallen musk]

u rly gonna take a mid asf english class

dawggggg

ugh its fine

[tough lark]

I can take it summer

[fallen musk]

i did my writing 2 at cc

last winter

best choice of my life

we wrote on ai

i used ai

(generated ai images)

[tough lark]

Lmfao...

Chad

[fallen musk]

i used ai to make my point

[tawny island]

Idk why your pfp reminds of Luka from MLB. Luka is so chill and cool

[fallen musk]

omg ty

as a fem/masc aspirer i appreciate that

[tawny island]

Do u watch that show or used to??!!

[fallen musk]

gotta be gender ambiguous

[fallen musk]

i played this one runner game

and i used to watch for a bit

yeah

[tawny island]

Let's go

They took 6 seasons to make the mcs a couple LMAO

[tawny island]

And he is so boyfriend material too 🥹

[tough lark]

@fallen musk you applied to cdss right

Or is the entire point just a joke

Lolol

[fallen musk]

yep! i applied cdss this year

berkeley cdss will still be the plan

[fallen musk]

JJjwjjdjjdjj

[tawny island]

Gl

[fallen musk]

cus of data science

but if you see my bio that isn’t the first choice xD

i’m interested in ucla’s capstone program for data theory

and i think it would give an edge going into masteral’s

[tough lark]

I wish you the best of luck

[tawny island]

You are college freshman?! I thought u said u did cc(not sure if I am wrong) 🤔

[tough lark]

We crackheads did cc during high school haha

[tawny island]

oh dual enrollment? Or like 2 year HS and 2 cc then like uc's?!

That's so unique! One of my friends did that. Looking back I should have done that fr, stress so much taking AP classes and my friend had so much more fun in cc

[tough lark]

Mine is a unique situation but

Think of it like

[fallen musk]

yes

[tough lark]

Dual enrollment except better??

Idk same thing

[fallen musk]

i am college freshman

[fallen musk]

again it depends

on your early college

[tawny island]

Oo

[fallen musk]

there’s tiers of early college

(in my delusional mind)

[tough lark]

But yea luckily I had fun

[fallen musk]

yours is one of the better ones

[tawny island]

Omg how many more smart ppl do I have to compete with⁉️😳 (jkjk) gl y'all

[fallen musk]

i don’t compete with high schoolers

i applied junior transfer

[tough lark]

My biggest advantage is that I'm applying to Berkeley not as a CS or Engineering

[tawny island]

Ooo

[fallen musk]

nobody likes you

i’m kidding

i love you

[tawny island]

What's what my bestie is doing too

[fallen musk]

smartie

[tawny island]

You guys are so smart for THAT

[tough lark]

Crying to sleep tonight

[fallen musk]

applying as non-engi is so fucking smart

wish i had done that first round

see it’s funny

[hearty halo]

Hiii

[fallen musk]

i applied cs

[tawny island]

No I like you(as a stranger) 🤭

[tough lark]

I have no idea what that means but you sound smart

[fallen musk]

and i wrote about MATH

NOT COMP SCI

😭

[tough lark]

[fallen musk]

my favorite 4 year to cc to 4 year trransfer

[hearty halo]

Doing 2/3 of my major prep this spring so let’s hope I’m not dead in the water lol

[fallen musk]

that gives middle fingers to prestige whores

[tawny island]

Boring hehe

[fallen musk]

what’s up

[fallen musk]

WAHHHH

i’m basically a glorified math major.

[hearty halo]

My favorite society major

[fallen musk]

:(

[fallen musk]

;)))))

[hearty halo]

Damn right 💪

[tawny island]

I am just kidding :p

[tough lark]

If I get into Berkeley I would like to meet all of you sometime real

[tawny island]

Me too u all sound so chill & cool

[hearty halo]

Doing major prep for two different majors (poli sci for ucla, journalism for csun) in one semester be like

[tawny island]

@fallen musk I think you might look as beautiful as Luka maybe I don't know 🫣

[tough lark]

[hearty halo]

My friend is leaving Berkeley hopefully

She and I are the transfer gang

I’m transferring into UCs (maybe), she’s transferring out

[tawny island]

Aw man most of you being transfer gang makes me want to a be a transfer too :/ (lol but I am applying for freshman)

[tough lark]

its fineee

[hearty halo]

You don’t want to be a transfer trust

[tough lark]

who said we're getting in

[hearty halo]

Unless it’s cc

cc based

[tough lark]

( not to undermine ur smartness)

[hearty halo]

But for me this whole transfer stuff is wack

[tawny island]

Transfer actually get IN more than freshman 💀☠️ can't wait to see how many accepts & rejects I get 😭

[tough lark]

yea thats what i meant

[hearty halo]

If you go to cc and go in knowing you wanna transfer, and do the prep, you’re golden

[tough lark]

who said were getting in as HS

[hearty halo]

But if you’re not a ccc or don’t know you wanna transfer til it’s late, gl 😭

[tough lark]

maybe we'll just transfer reallll

[hearty halo]

it’s okay I’ll be in my northwestern -> cc -> csun era and slay

[tawny island]

SLAYYY YOU GOT THIS

[hearty halo]

Ty!!

Gl to you!!

[hearty halo]

I do I belieb

Are y’all instate?

[tough lark]

I am

dunno bout them

[hearty halo]

Are you ELC?

[tawny island]

Meee

Instate

[tough lark]

(unfort no)

[valid crater]

SLAY BECAUSE JOURNALISM!!! but also if you're at ucla we should def meet up

[hearty halo]

Omg yuss

[tawny island]

What's elc? 🤔

[grave violet]

hey i got some difficulties with ucd portal

[tawny island]

What happened :3

[valid crater]

same ugh

[hearty halo]

Eligible in local context

It’ll tell you when you submit your app

[grave violet]

i type in exact same info and error occur idk

[tough lark]

basically it'll get you into Merced

[hearty halo]

Basically top 9? Percent class rank at your school

I was ELC, didn’t apply to UCs tho

[tawny island]

Oo

[grave violet]

oh so its not only me ><

[tough lark]

for Cali isn't it by all high school in the state rank?

[hearty halo]

It’s both

[valid crater]

yeah i have no idea

[hearty halo]

Either whole state or just your hs

[tawny island]

I think it's top 9 for ur school right?

[tough lark]

I see

[hearty halo]

It’s either

[fallen musk]

cc based

well

asterisk

[hearty halo]

Indeed

[fallen musk]

low opportunities at the cc level

[tawny island]

Ayy u r back :))

[fallen musk]

in terms of ECs

ya i gotta throw my trash out xD

i’m still gonna be here

if y’all haven’t yet, enroll in spring sem cc dual enrollment

highly rec

[hearty halo]

I’m hoping this whole transfer stuff won’t affect my summer internship apps

[fallen musk]

except for jayjay ur going to cc

[tawny island]

Aww gl

[fallen musk]

should be good !!

[hearty halo]

I submitted apps before I knew I was transferring

[fallen musk]

i think your story is totally understandable lol

[hearty halo]

But obviously if school comes up, I’ll make sure to explain and say I’m not at NU anymore

Don’t want them to think I’m being dishonest ofc

[fallen musk]

oh yeah 100%

[hearty halo]

Ya

I only applied to two places but we’ll see

[fallen musk]

yuh

[hearty halo]

Since my backup is to just keep working at the job I already have

[fallen musk]

if it doesn’t work out, try again and bank on the fact you’re a full cc yk

oh

hm

you could try using that method

i forgot if journalism can be done with tap

[hearty halo]

journalism doesn’t exist

at UCs

[fallen musk]

but i’d ask kat on the transfer discord for the cc for tap

cries

oh yeah

diff major then

[hearty halo]

We’re having two diff convos lol

[fallen musk]

comma then

coms.

[hearty halo]

I’m talking about internships

[fallen musk]

my brain is being weird

oh

LMAO

[hearty halo]

I’d rather perish

[fallen musk]

i thought you meant ucla and your local cc

[hearty halo]

Comms is more business and marketing adjacent

Poli sci for the win

[fallen musk]

me when jayjay becomes next president on accident

[hearty halo]

Lmao

Me when you Uhh do what cs people do

Own Google?

Idfk

[valid crater]

☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

i applied comms wherever they didn't have a journalism major Be

because most places have a journalism minor under comms

[fallen musk]

dude idfk

i quit cs

[agile wedge]

w

@valid crater I’m curious; what’s with all the essays you’re writing?

[tawny island]

yep what are you cooking so thoughfully?! (i need help on writing essays or need inspiration)

[valid crater]

im applying to 26 schools lol

want more offers + need merit scholarships so im casting a wide net

[valid crater]

lol my problem isnt writing essays my problem is writing good ones that'll actually get me into college

[eternal frigate]

Y tho just focus on a smaller list and go harder on them

[valid crater]

because what if i dont get scholarships

[eternal frigate]

Then apply to scholarships instead

Teehee

[valid crater]

yeah but external scjolarships are harder to get than uni acceptances

because like most of them are luck based

and i dont qualify for the main ones like coco cola or gates because i dont live in us

but i qualify for all merit based scholarships at prestigious unis bcuz im a us citizen

[tawny island]

woah thats alot

Amazing how 7/9 UCs extended their transfer deadlines

[agile wedge]

DAMN

the dedication is insane

how do you even devote time to the essays and apps

[valid crater]

again, its only insane if it pays off

if it doesnt then im just an idiot 😭

[valid crater]

i'd like to think i have excellent time management skills

also im a writer so writing isnt particularly hard or stressful for me

like im genuinely having so much fun writing all of these essays

[agile wedge]

true but like wouldn’t it be better to focus on less and make less essays have more quality

quality over quantity

[valid crater]

i'd like to think i have both

but we'll see dec 15 i get my first decision

[agile wedge]

good luck!

[valid crater]

[tawny island]

aww man

yep you are in for a long ride

[stoic panther]

Waiting for the waiter makes you the waiter

Has the Davis portal ever worked for y’all

Or did it just stop working

After it was working before

Bc if it’s never worked I have a wild theory it’ll let you in on the 9th

Or around then

Bc this is in my portal from last year

So maybe they’re purging my year out at that time

[topaz yoke]

bro what

[soft cargo]

has the uc portals come for ucla or uc berkeely or santa barbara for anyone submited before deadline?

sorry if someone already said it

i havent got mine but my friends did idk why

[turbid ermine]

Is Berkeley not just https://apply.berkeley.edu/account/login

[queen wing]

I got my UC Davis THank you for applying email but havent been able to access for 12 hours.. everytime its saying details arent matching... could be related?

[fallen musk]

email them maybe

[queen wing]

ill wait for a day or two... then ill check

[soft cargo]

i didnt even get my login

[valid crater]

Check the Davis thread

[queen wing]

Thx!

[covert bolt]

literally its not even in the next three months

what will yall do by seeing a portal

💀

[fallen musk]

dude das what im sayin big bro

[nova bridge]

be delusional I guess

[covert bolt]

i got the "thank you for applying to irvine!" email today though

[fallen musk]

like i submitted my apps and havent looked back

[covert bolt]

so im definitely a lock for uci

[fallen musk]

i got finals to deal with

[covert bolt]

same man

no point in looking back

jsut makes you more stressed/nervous

[fallen musk]

like dont obsess too much guys yeah

like if u really wanna worry about colleges

u could use that time figure out the order of unis u would go to

if accepted

[covert bolt]

true

[valid crater]

omg same

[fallen musk]

irvine would be cool to go to

[valid crater]

Irvine is my dream uc

Mostly because they're the only one that have my major

[nova bridge]

Davis and San Diego are mine

Davis is close to home but not so close ill be visited weekly

San Diego is just cool

Irvine is also cool I just don’t know much abt it

[fallen musk]

dream uc would be ucla

my least favorite ucs are uc merced, ucsb, and ucsd

and i guess berkeley since they dont have guaranteed housing for transfers

[valid crater]

manifesting the best for all of us💪💪

celi are you in state?

[agile wedge]

least favorite are Irvine and Riverside

favorite are probably Berkeley and LA?

I think out of those two if I got in I’d just flip a coin or something lol

[outer gyro]

portals can ask users for additional info if admissions officers request it

i know ucb and ucla do this

[covert bolt]

okay but there's so much time left for docs

[covert bolt]

mine is berkeley, then LA, then irvine

[agile wedge]

Kinda mine but I think I might prefer Davis to Irvine

[fallen musk]

yes but i dont wanna transfer just yet

[covert bolt]

bro wants to go to the cow farms 🗣️

[fallen musk]

only applied bc parents

[nova bridge]

nah it’s over for me im instate but guess who’s school doesn’t let us do ap in 10th grade and as a result my UC gpa lowk sucks

and guess who’s school started adding 10th grade aps as she entered 12th grade

[fallen musk]

recall: in context

ucs do actually look at admissions in context

my school is hella cracked in terms of stats

[agile wedge]

[nova bridge]

my school is also pretty competitive and I didn’t get diagnosed w adhd till after freshman year

[fallen musk]

yeah it hits hard

koi i was very devastated last year

[nova bridge]

why

?

[fallen musk]

i got rejections 🤝

you can have high stats and still get rejections chat

UC Berkeley’s portal is currently being sent out to applicants. They have tens of thousands to send to, so it’ll take time for you to receive yours. Once you have your credentials, you can log in at https://apply.berkeley.edu/account/login

[turbid ermine]

Santa Barbara I heard January I think

[rich umbra]

has anyone gotten uci ucb or ucsd portals yet

[humble nova]

Yes

[teal coral]

does anyone know how to update the UCSD college choices?

[shrewd citrus]

has anyone gotten a recommendation letter request from berkeley or know what getting one means? I just got one today but dont know what it means for me.

[agile wedge]

uhh

it means from what ive found that an ai or a reader/algorithm thing flagged you

it kinda depends on what you're studying to determine if its a good or bad sign

from what i could see not good for engineering students, fine for letters and sciences students

you should def take the opportunity either way

[shrewd citrus]

yea def im taking it

not an engineering student so thats good to hear

[royal steppe]

yes

[rich umbra]

when did u apply

[royal steppe]

october 15

[gentle wyvern]

Yes but just wait tbh. I think they are sending it slowly

[rustic agate]

you could do it via your UC Applicant portal or your UCSD portal when you get it

[fallen musk]

see das what im sayin

i’d lowk do the same thing

[teal coral]

where do i go in my uc portal..? i checked almost everywhere!

[rustic agate]

Maybe wait for the UCSD Applicant portal

idk about the new one cause I haven't seen the UC applicant portal since like Fall 2019

[outer gyro]

they changed the ucsd portal a lot

it's like smart now, when you commit to ucsd it has a checklist of all the onboarding stuff you need to do and it automatically checks whether you've done those things

it also shows your transcripts that you send to ucsd (though they kinda botched that this year)

[tough lark]

It's a random chance

don't worry

nothing to do with what you did

[outer gyro]

i think that in general it means that they want a lil more info about you to help make the decision

like they saw your app and had questions

not necessarily a good or bad thing at all

[shrewd citrus]

ah ok ty this helps

makes a lot of sense since I’m first gen

[oblique sierra]

how long should I wait without having a portal before I email them

everyone else has gotten me one within a day or two

[verbal palm]

like i'd say a week

if you got the confirmation email from the UC app tho i think you're fine

i think it's diff for every school too, i've only gotten 2/6

Friendly reminder to all:

“Make sure to check your email over the next couple of months — you'll be receiving emails from the campuses you applied to with instructions on how to login to their portals, where you will receive messages and application decisions.”

Don’t ask about portals until “couple of months” is over

doesn't UC berkely want more stuff through the portal

i don't have the option to add anything

this is for either special programs, such as HAAS or if they send an email, if none of these apply then there is nothing u need to do

[covert bolt]

the haas application is so annoying

just kill me

[covert bolt]

nah

not worth risking it

[robust perch]

Got my UCSD portal !! Now if UCI would stop being “heehee ur so quirky haha stop it” and give me their portal too

[outer gyro]

i love the ucsd portal

but i'm surprised they're sending it this late, when i applied i got it like instantly

[gentle wyvern]

they gave it instantly for me too lol. like an hour after i submitted, but again i submitted mine on the 28th so might be different

[humble nova]

I did

[royal steppe]

UCI has sent me a webinar link to setting up the portal

... but no portal

[lost heart]

i got the portal yesterday (if anyone is wondering i submitted on the 29th)

[wheat oyster]

L

[robust perch]

Did anyone else pay by mail

[gentle wyvern]

ok for all the ucs i sent more than one request i think at least because i didnt remember if i sent a form for a change in transcript because i made an error on my application where i made errors here
Error items
World History in 2021-2022 a school year
US History in 2021-2022 a school year
American Political Tradition and Economics class in 2022-2023 a school year

Corrected item
World History in 2020-2021 Summer Session
US History in 2021-2022 Summer Session
American Political Tradition and Economics class in 2022-2023 Summer Session

do u think all the ucs might get irritated by this. i feel like i sent either one or two request forms to each uc that i applied to abt this error. i resent some because i was unsure if i even sent them one or if they even recieved them

do u think this owuld somehow jeopardize or affect my application because ive spammed them about my course error like maybe once, twice, or three times to some of the ucs

my insecurity has taken over me lollll

[robust perch]

Doubt it

Idk i feel like its like emailing teachers

Better safe than sorry

[gentle wyvern]

ya true i was like sending it again because i was unsure if i even emailed ucla abt it but then after submitting i felt like i did

so u think its fine

[robust perch]

Yeah i think its okay

[gentle wyvern]

am i overthinking this lol

[robust perch]

Yeah 😭

Dw i get why

But i think it’ll be ok

[valid crater]

[outer gyro]

the people in charge of this are different than your admissions officers

remember that the job of an admissions officer is to blaze through your application and make a yes/no vote within 5 minutes

[gentle wyvern]

but u dont think they would like be pissed off or set off in a wrong way cuz i kinda spammed them lol. also i was unsure because i wasnt getting emails sent, so i was redoing some forms, in which one of them came back after i sent one over. i was doing this so i would have evidence that at least i was trying and attempting to fix my course, so that they dont think i was trying to lie

[outer gyro]

let me say it again

[outer gyro]

the people reading your application will have no idea that you did this

a bureaucracy as big as the university of california would not be on top of everything such that they'd do this

[gentle wyvern]

oh ic what ur saying now, alright. ty!

[tender ember]

For UCI do we need to join the webinar to get portal information or is it optional

i think you're in your head too much and i just wanna say that its completely okay to be feeling like this. I know when I applied last year, I was fighting demons over every small nuances. But eventually you just gotta set it and forget it until you get your decisions.

trust me when i say this you may be in your in head rn, but soon once decisions are done and over, you'll be in your head about why x decisions didnt pan out (or maybe not and its just me lol). It's just part of the process with college apps. Again don't feel ashame about feeling the way that you are feeling rn, it happens to everyone at some point throughout this process, and all it shows is that you really fucking care and that should be celebrated.

Depends on whether your major is capped
