Only one I cared about is sd. I forgot to withdraw Irvine and Davis and then they emailed me with a rejection in late June

my friend was wl at sd Davis Berkeley and la and got into la around June July ish

twilit escarp
#

u should never expect to get off the waitlist at any school

#

barely anyone gets off of it

humble nova
#

Happened to my friend too

#

Every single one of my friends (anecdotal experience ofc) has gotten off waitlists

#

For ucs

#

What majors?

gritty glacier
#

Got into sb, sc, berk regularly. Rejected la. Waitlisted sd Irvine and Davis and then rejected from all 3

eternal frigate
#

Berk accept but davis reject

#

Any inkling would prompted that or sheer randomness

gentle wyvern
#

ucs are a total wild card

nova bridge
#

#

Are senior year grades important for ucs?

gentle wyvern
cosmic onyx
#

I heard you just shouldn’t let your gpa drop by more than 1.0 in second semester

#

Not 100% sure if that is true

pallid crater
#

A kid going from straight As to straight Bs is a cause for concern

#

They will 100% get on your ass for it

#

Whether that's rescind worthy is a coin toss, but don't risk it

verbal palm
#

but Cs get degrees

outer gyro
#

your weighted gpa needs to be at least 3

#

and if you fail any class it’s auto rescind

turbid ermine
#

It think UCSD wanted me at 3.2 for transfer and UCD wanted 2.8

#

Over all years post admission

#

But yeah if you fall under C you get kinda fucked

cosmic onyx
#

I think Irvine said 3.0 gpa in the portal

velvet prism
#

anyone get the UCI portal email yet? and if so how do u activate it

novel cave
#

i got it

#

js follow all the steps in the email

gentle wyvern
lost heart
#

i got it, and yeah pretty much what jaych said

gentle wyvern
#

Idk why but I always think it’s unweighted

cosmic onyx
#

Irvine is weighted

granite schooner
#

but yeah UCSD is weighted

#

and i'd assume the other schools are weighted too

#

if u wanna senioritis just make sure you guarantee urself all Bs

#

avg

stuck sun
#

i got ucla portal

rancid idol
#

would ucs see my C in my 1st sem rn and like reject me based on that?

wheat oyster
#

They don’t see any sr grades

eternal frigate
#

I thought they did mid year reports

rancid idol
#

i thought they teake heavily into acct if you get waitlisted

#

is it bad that i pretty much shut off my health (not going to the gym) eating terribly not hang out with friends all to still maintain my gpa as a senior in hs?

Me rn I aint do anything with people outside anymore and everybody kinda knows its app season so we locked in but still like one activity every week and fitness fs important so u dont die mentally

#

(unless ur built different just go rambo)

rancid idol
#

i am like done with app season but the classes i took are overkill and now i am like struggling to maintain my Bs and I am scared that if i get a C its pretty much the end of the world for me

eternal frigate
#

Aps or dual enrollment lol

rancid idol
#

aps

#

done with my dual enrollment

eternal frigate
#

Aint no way boi

#

Is it like phys chem or bio none of the others are really hard ngl

rancid idol
#

nah like ap lit my teacher is on roids and teaches it in a way where you pretty much either get a C or B

#

but also senioritis hitting hard

eternal frigate
#

Nah stop thinking that

#

No senioritis allowed until ur apps done

rancid idol
#

apps done for me

eternal frigate
#

OH

rancid idol
#

Yea that’s correct. They occasionally do a random audit

cosmic onyx
#

It’s random?

outer gyro
#

about 10%

#

but idk that they check mid year reports

#

i thought they checked ec's

wheat oyster
#

yea sometimes they verify ec's or ur self reported courses

in which you would just send them your transcript

#

UC system isn't allowed to poach CSU campuses anymore

teal coral
#

theyve done that before?

frigid musk
#

UCLA was originally a normal school (basically a teacher's college and the southern branch of what later became SJSU), and UCSB used to be under the precursor organization of the CSU system

How can I get more aid? Asking as an OOS student

agile quest
#

guys I input my grades wrong how do I fix it am I fucked

#

do I need to email the schools individually

honest vine
#

i would assume so

#

grade mistakes are common, so just email admissions

agile quest
#

i didnt mis input my grades I just misinput the terms(they were semester long courses but I put them as full term)

#

hopefully i can make it in time

gentle wyvern
#

Do senior yr grades matter

vital sandal
#

if u get deferred

gentle wyvern
vital sandal
#

or waitlisted

#

i mean

gentle wyvern
#

Ic

#

Wow this yr isn’t treating me right so idk

vital sandal
#

same tbh

agile quest
gentle wyvern
agile quest
#

which email address is the right one?

#

also for Berkeley you dont directly email them you email the UC application center right?

gentle wyvern
gentle wyvern
#

If they don’t have email provided

#

They should have forms

#

I literally filled like three to four forms cuz I didn’t know which one was the right one or accidentally did the same one twice 😭

red ember
#

I reported one class under the wrong category is that fine

#

I still met all my A-Gs

#

its just one calc class under the wrong math a-g

gentle wyvern
#

I would email

agile quest
#

have you receive any response yet

gentle wyvern

gentle wyvern
frozen wraith
#

i mean i live in ohio so maybe thats why

#

but they havent contacted me at all

outer gyro
#

anything below a c then yes

south flame
#

Well maybe not, depends on your circumstances

#

Like if its all Ds they might no matter what

ember sierra
south flame
#

But one D and you might be able to get away with it if you have circumstances

ember sierra
#

imagine i get an F next semester..

#

lol

#

also i have another question

#

so im going to need to drop this afterschool class due to financial reasons is it gonna affect me??

outer gyro
#

but that is for emergencies only so do not under any circumstances count on it

south flame
#

Yeah its not something you should rely on

gentle wyvern
#

but got an email back saying they cant change it lol

outer gyro
#

they just asked did you fuck up in senior year and if yes we can help with that if you tell us early on

gentle wyvern
outer gyro
gentle wyvern
#

does everyone need to fill it out

#

and also what if i misinputted my course in the wrong grade or wrong section on the uc application would i fill that form if i did get accepted

outer gyro
outer gyro
#

i think you can log in and change stuff still

#

if not send an email their way

gentle wyvern
#

is that fine

#

and also i have proof that i attempted to make a change through email

outer gyro
#

can't say anything about that

#

if the uc app team is unwilling to help you then i guess sort it out with the individual campuses that you applied to

outer gyro
#

wherever you commit

#

if to a uc

#

then worry about it

gentle wyvern
#

alr

hasty matrix
#

GUYS DOES APPEALING WORK

#

I’m so scared

#

Cuz I don’t have A-G

#

I’m begging

#

Or are they a myth

#

(but i do have a-g they won’t let me change my app)

turbid ermine
#

You can get in without a-g technically it’s just a lot harder right

#

If you do have it it depends on if you listed it

#

Like did you just forget to label it

#

Or did you omit the courses entirely

outer gyro
#

should really have worried about this before submitting the app

hasty matrix
hasty matrix
turbid ermine
#

If you’re from a CA school idk this fs but maybe they’ll be able to correct the label on their own

hasty matrix
#

I’m hoping so

turbid ermine
#

Bc they’ll have record of it on their end already

hasty matrix
#

They just get so many applications I hope they don’t throw it out

#

Yeah

#

It’s really frustrating because I have a sister and they tell u at the end of the application if you fill out the A-G requirement but don’t tell u if you don’t???? Super weird

gentle wyvern
#

So I emailed my counselor abt this but this what they had to say about the course being misplaced: “I assume you’ve already submitted it this way? I don’t foresee it being a huge issue as long as you got all of the classes on there somewhere.”
I did still send an email but most responses were they can’t make additional changes or there aren’t any guarantees for the AO seeing the changes

#

If I were to have been accepted and decided to commit does that require me to still notify them if so how would I?

#

Also this wouldn’t be a cause for being rescinded can it?

Hmmm should I email them?

@vocal coral

vocal coral
#

i think it was @topaz yoke who wanted help w UCSB loci not me

topaz yoke
#

me

#

I am not even asking for loci

#

it is letter of interest which is kinda different

#

cuz they don't look at my uc essays

humble nova
topaz yoke

gentle wyvern
#

If I can ask how do u get off uc waitlists

#

And even after doing the LOCI is there a fair chance of getting off the waitlist

All of March, of you are super smart & the uni wants/needs u they send out early acceptance in Feb , but that's mostly for super smart kids 🤷‍♀️

wheat oyster
#

🤨

shut pagoda
#

do schools accept more than available seats

#

it's near impossible for every accepted student to choose that one school so i would imagine a school would over accept?

rustic agate
#

Yes but not by a lot

#

Schools routinely overaccept but they have a threshold(say 10-20%) over

shut pagoda

would be pretty funny if every student just enrolls

For those who were wondering if ucs do allow grade changes if u did make a mistake in ur uc application, I have got some good news. UCLA responded back to me requesting for the necessary info allowing for updates

#

So I think it just takes time but don’t wait too long

#

To send an email to them

soft cargo

💀

#

ucla responded they couldn't change the info

gentle wyvern

BRO WHAT

ARE YOU SERIOUS

And then after sending them an email I got this today

gentle wyvern

#

The UC application site restricts changes to certain sections post-submission. The "Academic history" information CANNOT be edited once the application is filed. UCLA will NOT accept your post-submission academic updates. We will continue to use our holistic review process that balances all available academic and non-academic factors.

Thank you for your email.

You may make academic changes using the Academic Update Notification form found in your portal. Please note, however, that there is no guarantee admission officers will see it and take it into consideration when reviewing your application. Please contact us if you have any further questions.

i heard that ucla is 50% berkeley rejects and 50% of people who did get fin aid for usc... idk if its true tho

valid crater
#

i've never been to berkeley but i've visited ucla and to me it seems a lot more vibrant and enthusiastic and berkeley gives me a very nerdy but not in a good way vibe and i've heard they once had issues with quality checks and stuff but i could be wrong

you get a very wide mix of ppl in UCLA

imo ucla has friendlier vibes than berkeley tho

ucla is more fun and chill

Stayed at UCLA over the summer, it has a very nice vibe, and great food. Housing is decent in my opinion also, though I only stayed in Olympic hall

ah, but like yk when you submit appllications they usualy want a secondary report along with counselor recommendation

Uc Merced > ucla or..

quartz geode
#

their acp rate is like 80% so no

UC Merced is top tier, they have Fields Medalists and Nobel Prize winners on their faculty

For ucs do we have to submit mid year grades and if so, how?

pale ivy

Ohh interesting I thought they saw mid year grades… ig I can get Ds in all classes and it won’t affect me then😂

humble nova
#

They have rescinded before

pale ivy
#

Yea not fail just get all cs and ds

humble nova
#

Since they get your grades at the end of the year after you commit

pale ivy

Since they won’t even see my grades lmao

Wait is uc San Fran the same as uc Santa Cruz I’m confused?

UC San Francisco is only a medical school (no undergrad programs)

UC Santa Cruz does undergrad

ohhh got u 👍🏻

they're in different regions as well

UCSB released their portal

UCSB is my third fav UC!!

#

Yep

#

my second favorite though

#

I would've gone to SB if I hadn't gotten into CSU La Jolla

outer gyro

same, probably

#

but probably uci because ucsb wanted a lot of money from me

naturally I got bored of it so I turned it down

#

my ranking as an international is ucb > ucla > ucsd > ucsb > uci > ucd

#

prestige is yummy 😋

topaz yoke
#

my ranking: ucb > la > sb > sd > d > I

#

To be fair SB ranks the lowest among the 6 but their CCS curriculum is god tier and I am working on nagging my counselor enough so he would submit the rec letters

#

if we account CCS for the position it deserves then SB might even rank above LA for me, but def not Berkeley

outer gyro
#

as an american imo it’s ucla > ucb >>>>> ucsd > uci > ucsb > ucd >> ucsc >>> ucr > ucm

ucb = ucla > uci > ucsd > ucd > ucsb > ucsc > ucr > ucm

guys what should I do I am pretty sure I misselected a part of my app for one of my courses and accidently said it was semesters instead of a yr long course since I would only receive one grade for the year (it was wierd like it had 2 parts and stuff), do you guys suggest emailing all the offices of the campuses I applied to

omg right i forgot they climbed the rankings this year

yeah but uci jus better cuz no cow poop

turbid ermine
#

I smelt more cow poop on asu campus

#

I don’t go near the cow area but I’ve only smelt the poop once ever otherwise

#

And I wasn’t on campus during it

So it might’ve been the nearby farmland

#

You can either take a short hopper flight from SMF to SFO or Amtrak from Davis station to Richmond and ride the red bart line from start to finish to SFO

#

Some people also ride share but that gets pricey

#

Tbh tho you may not have to SFO it, SMF has decent domestic reach so there are plenty of other open layover points if you need to fly intl

#

Like when I looked into SMF > LHR I could either layover in SFO or DEN or JFK

Is everyone got the ucla scholarship application email today?

I dont think the scholarship means alot

gentle wyvern

#

So we can rule that one out

topaz yoke
#

me neither

naive pivot
#

Maybe its if you put interested in certain things on the UC application

topaz yoke
#

then it is a likely letter? Or it serves as one?

#

is that how it works or not

naive pivot
#

no for sure no

topaz yoke
#

idk I never got one

#

from anywhere lmao

gentle wyvern
#

Also I received an email from ucla admission that allowed me to change my academic report like last month does this kinda indicate that they already read my app?

naive pivot
#

probably not

#

They are just helping you change something

#

And this letter is not a likely

#

prolly just a indication you marked you are interested in scholarships

#

i doubt ucla has “likely letters”

gentle wyvern
# naive pivot probably not

Also it was weird cuz ucla specifically stated they don’t allow grade or changes to academic report but I just emailed them just to have a record that I attempted to fix the error I made

naive pivot
#

idk alot of schools say they’ll be strict but they dont care

#

i can send an image of the email to you if you want

naive pivot
#

I would say all UC’s don’t do any sort of prescreen before or likelys tho

gentle wyvern
#

Honestly ucs I’m banking on the most

naive pivot

Same here

I didn’t get anything

humble nova

Just hang for a bit and then email

i just realized something

#

i might have put “honors” for some random high school “honors” courses

#

when i was inputting my classes on the application

#

am i screwed i didnt know u werent supposed to do that

#

(at the bottom)

#

need some advice/help: I took a college course (not dual enrollment) during 8th grade and ended up dropping it with W. I didn't report this course when I applied to the UCs, am I screwed?

what are they gonna do, look through your middle school?

Does it have something to do with me being in-state

has any intl gotten it

im so confused

eager phoenix
#

Wait I think I know why

#

Remember the scholarship section on the UC application?

#

You may have indicated a certain category that they matched you up with certain scholarship

#

UCLA recieve a crazy ton of application so I'd imagine them sending this email out slowly throughout the month

#

Could be by area, by name, by submission time, etc.

#

do i have any shot at ucla electrical as an intl

#

gave up on Berkeley eecs fully

the deadline to apply was 1 and a half months ago

so instead of asking if you have a shot

be patient, and find out in march

I do however think u should check if u indicated the scholarship thing in the uc application

UCLA is the only UC that has yet to send out portal information right?

does ucsb have a capped admissions major thingie like ucsd

where u get accepted into ucsd first, and then they see if ur eligible for ur capped major if u have one, and if not, they admit u into ur second uncapped major if they have one

At least when I transferred I got accepted into a pre-major

Maybe it’s diff for freshmen

Everyone who got in from my school last year was like pre-bio or pre-psych or whatever
