hdh?

#

wait can you explain more about the admin

outer gyro
#

housing dining and hospitality

#

really admin is bad at every public school so it's not a ucsd specific thing

granite schooner
#

was super supportive of me transferring

outer gyro
#

which a lot of people here seem to hold

turbid ermine
#

Btw are your roles right

turbid ermine
#

Also wasn’t eighth college new this year how did you already transfer out

granite schooner
#

your "reach/dream" schools are rly gonna determine what u classify as a target or a safety

#

cause its not comparable to put harvard with ucsd under reach if your reach schools are ivy tier

outer gyro
#

i think that for most people here ucsd is a hard target

granite schooner
#

i took a lot of CC courses throughout high school, so i guess it ended up helping me a lot with transfer within 1 yr

turbid ermine
#

Idk fs tho this is basic research on my end

granite schooner
#

cause so long you complete normal igetc + you have lower div major coursework completed

#

you're good

turbid ermine
#

Ah I see

#

Do you have any places in mind out of curiosity

granite schooner
#

cause its close to home and has a better tech scene in terms of opportunities for career

turbid ermine
#

Fair enough

granite schooner
#

cause i dont rly care for the associate mainly just want to transfer and get the bachelor

turbid ermine
#

I see

#

Berkeley would’ve been nice if their major reqs for my major wouldn’t have pushed me from taking upper divs until senior year

#

Idk if they’re weird like that for every major

heavy plover
#

Do y’all think a ~3.9 UC Gpa is ok for UC engineering

#

am i cooked? 💀

covert bolt
#

yes

#

ur done

#

if ur gpa doesn't start with a 4

#

insta reject

#

trust me bro

gentle wyvern
heavy plover
heavy plover
#

i just followed the uc gpa website instructions on how to calculate

last wyvern
#

actually just read this lmfao

hearty halo
heavy plover
#

can you elaborate on what you mean by the context of my school

hearty halo
heavy plover
#

wait how would having few AP classes mean you have a lower GPA

naive pivot
#

Weighted classes

#

APs are weighted

heavy plover
#

doesn’t the UC weighting for GPA cap out at + 8 points thoight

naive pivot
heavy plover
#

oh shoot

#

lemme recalc for them

#

so let’s say UCI and UCSD

#

they cap at 8?

naive pivot
#

Yep

#

All others cap at 8

hearty halo
heavy plover
#

I thought the weighting was + 1 point for every letter grade

#

so for one class, 2 semesters in a year

#

it would be +2 points?

hearty halo
#

I believe that’s correct, been awhile since I did it

heavy plover
#

but i’m pretty sure i’m too 10% of GPA for my school

hearty halo
#

What UCs r u aiming for

outer gyro
#

if your class rank is way up there you're probably good

#

not that the uc's look at class rank but being a top student is something they always want

twilit escarp
#

i thought it was 8 semesters not 8 classes

hearty halo
#

Ya I think I misspoke

hearty halo
twilit escarp
#

ah ok

hearty halo
outer gyro
#

elc is kind of a must if you're eligible lol

#

iirc most admits to the big 3 uc's will have elc

hearty halo
#

Ah ya

#

For my friends who I helped with uc apps all were ELC based on class rank but very few would’ve qualified statewide

runic hawk
#

cuz i have statewide but not schoolwide

#

cuz nerd school

hearty halo
gentle wyvern
#

my school notified the top 15% percent of our class that they were in top 15%, which i got, but they wont tell me the exact percentile im in. u think being just within top 15% is gud

hearty halo
gentle wyvern
#

or percentage

hearty halo
#

Ohh

#

I mean ya top 15% is rlly good

gentle wyvern
#

also our class size is huge. to be exact its 777

hearty halo
#

Damn

gentle wyvern
hearty halo
#

Slay

gentle wyvern
#

tho

hearty halo
#

I got schoolwide don’t remember if I got statewide

gentle wyvern
hearty halo
hearty halo
#

What major?

gentle wyvern
#

they legit have a seperate college for it

hearty halo
#

Ucsd isn’t commutable for me so I didn’t apply but it’s a cool school for sure

hearty halo
gentle wyvern
covert bolt
#

jay jay

hearty halo
covert bolt
#

what up

hearty halo
#

Avoiding doing usc app which I’m doing to avoid sleeping

#

You?

gentle wyvern
covert bolt
#

avoiding doing some schoolwork

hearty halo
covert bolt
#

and also anxious about the amoun t of decisions coming out this friday

#

literally like probably 5 schools will be coming

hearty halo
# gentle wyvern Ty

Also remember that UCs can be kinda odd with decisions since they have fewer things to judge you off of (no lors etc). Did you apply to multiple UCs?

hearty halo
hearty halo
gentle wyvern
#

I’m also instate so UCs are my best bet when it comes to tuition and financial aid

hearty halo
# hearty halo Okay good

I had a friend get waitlisted from UCI but accepted at ucla and Berkeley. Shows that each college wants something different and also things can be a bit random

covert bolt
#

and one more i cant quite recall now

hearty halo
covert bolt
#

thanks

#

u too!!

hearty halo
#

Ty

covert bolt
#

hope that uc transfer comes through

hearty halo
#

Gotta stop calling it fucla

hearty halo
#

Cali moment

covert bolt
#

what's the first choice

#

csu/usc?

covert bolt
#

none of them are west coast

#

maybe that's why

covert bolt
hearty halo
#

Csu if not

covert bolt
#

fair enough

#

usc is crazy expensive

hearty halo
#

mhm

#

Good aid but idk if good enough

covert bolt
#

true

hearty halo
#

Before my year we had one person go oos in all my time in hs

covert bolt
#

thats insane

hearty halo
#

And she went to oregon

covert bolt
#

💀

hearty halo
#

Which is like close

covert bolt
#

were u at a competitive hs

hearty halo
#

A friend of mine two years above did get oos acceptances

#

But stayed instate

#

Cause stanny

covert bolt
hearty halo
#

Full ride fin aid too

hearty halo
# covert bolt oh

Ya it’s funny we had one person get accepted into t20s in school history then my year all my friends broke the game

#

We went 6 for 6 (besides me since I ED’d) ucla and everyone bagged tons of privates/oos

covert bolt
covert bolt
covert bolt
#

yall broke through

#

finally

floral iron
heavy plover
#

pretty sure la and berk are out of reach 😭 so UCSD and UCI are the main ones. for engineering btw

heavy plover
#

like how would they know my gpa is good for my school

outer gyro
#

the uc approach is heavily school centric meaning your school is your “competition”

heavy plover
#

ahhh I see I see

valid crater
honest vine
outer gyro
#

well it's up to you if you wanna make it like that

runic hawk
#

my school is full of nerds

granite schooner
# runic hawk aww man

idk how much truth there is to this but ppl generally say that UCs compare you to ppl in your school but ECs to your location

outer gyro
#

p much imo

#

well

#

to some extent

#

because my ec's were nothing compared to your average bay area cs gunner

runic hawk
#

our school lowk feeds berkeley hard

#

and uci

naive pivot
cosmic onyx
#

3 people got into ucla from my school last year…

runic hawk
#

we usually have like 30 berkeleys a year n like 10 uclas

naive pivot
naive pivot

#

dope

heavy plover
#

my school gets like 3 UC accepts every 2 years

#

am i cooked? 😀

naive pivot
heavy plover
#

yup lol

naive pivot
#

thats difficult for sure

#

but not impossible

heavy plover
#

yeah it’s over for me 💀

#

my ecs are really good tho

naive pivot
#

nah dw as long as you fit the school you have an amazing chance

heavy plover
#

so i’m hoping uci will pull through

naive pivot
#

what college for uci?

heavy plover
#

engineering

naive pivot
#

oop

heavy plover
#

💀💀💀💀

naive pivot
#

well

heavy plover
#

i’m screwed

naive pivot
#

hope u got your stats ready for that

heavy plover
#

they are alr

naive pivot
#

UCI though is perfect if you have the credentials

#

im sure that you can get in

#

UCI is my target since im instate thats crazy

heavy plover
#

actually idk if i’m in or below the uc gpa average for engineering

naive pivot
#

probably as long as you've had less than 3-4ish B's you are good

heavy plover
#

do they care less about gpa if you had a really hard course rigor?

naive pivot
#

i hope they do LOL because im in the same boat

#

i think they care alot about both

#

i did 10 AP's and 4 dual enrollments but was insanely busy so its a little less than others

heavy plover
#

yeah i’m praying

#

i took 11

naive pivot
#

weighted?

heavy plover
#

which is prolly below i think

heavy plover
onyx dragon
#

bsaically

heavy plover
#

I used the UC gpa thing

#

interesting

onyx dragon
#

?

naive pivot
#

theres a difference between weighted (Taking into account difficulty: AP's Honors, IB) and UW (graded based on A, B, C regardless of difficulty)

heavy plover
#

i thought it was just if you take it

#

and get like above a C

#

or pass

naive pivot
#

do you have a different system at your school?

naive pivot
#

for example I have an OK gpa but a pretty high weighted since I took alot of difficult classes

heavy plover
#

but UC schools recalculate your GPA based on their standards

onyx dragon
#

how many bs u got

heavy plover
#

it’s like only 10th and 11th right

naive pivot
#

yep

heavy plover
#

4-5 probably

#

are you also doing engineering?

onyx dragon
#

ye

naive pivot
#

keep in mind that engineering at ANY UC is extremely competitive, even more for out of state, UCLA and Berkeley have sub 3% acceptance rates and the others are also compartively low.

#

Ill check

heavy plover
hearty halo
outer gyro
naive pivot
naive pivot
outer gyro
#

ucla should be pretty low because it's 9% overall

#

yeah prolly

#

no way every engineering is that low

naive pivot
#

i think i remember berkeley being 9% for engineering

heavy plover
#

i applied to uci ucb ucsd and ucla

outer gyro
#

even our compsci at ucsd is still double digits iirc

naive pivot
#

bless up ucsd is fire

heavy plover
#

probably screwd lol

outer gyro
#

imo if you're near the top of your graduating class and you're in state you're probably ok

naive pivot
#

hopefully ucsd will accept me 😋 i applied for a program there that hopefully will give me a better chance

heavy plover
#

wish i was in state 😭

naive pivot
#

you could always attend a california CC for 1-2 years, graduate with an associates and transfer with relative ease

hearty halo
runic hawk
#

they have tap tho

#

where its easier to transfer but not guaranteed

hearty halo
#

Mhm

#

tap doesn’t help that much tho with highly impacted majors

naive pivot
hearty halo
#

Sad that my major is impacted but oh well

naive pivot
hearty halo
gentle wyvern
#

I’m unsure how that’s possible with 11 aps, did u get a lot of Bs

heavy plover
#

11 ap classes total

#

not in 10-11

naive pivot
heavy plover
#

i’m taking 6 ap classes senior year

outer gyro
#

you're prolly fine

heavy plover
#

my school didn’t let me take more durring 10th and 11th

gentle wyvern
#

Honestly for our school, we send an equal amount to uci, ucsd, ucla, berk. Just imagine 10 people for each of the school

hearty halo
hearty halo
naive pivot
#

that is amazing, my only drawback ab CC is whether I can get research internships before grad school, since you are technically missing out on two years at a uni where you can get those opportunities

#

otherwise i would take it in a hearbeat

hearty halo
#

Tho there still are some!

#

I’m doing an internship rn where I’m the only cc student. Everyone else is at a 4 year

naive pivot
#

yea I obviously didn't get my results back but I figure doing 4 years interning at UCI, UCSD, UCSB, UCD, and the top two if i get in will help me in grad school

outer gyro
#

from my observation

#

most first and second years don't make use of research opportunities at all

naive pivot
#

i know but I fully intend to

#

if thats possible

outer gyro
#

i'm in a lab right now but that's because of luck

naive pivot
#

yea, I know that research and internships are a huge part of grad school admissions, and not so much undergrad prestige and name, so i just figured any UC would be a good fit.

#

hopefully I will be correct☠️

outer gyro
#

research opportunities are one of the main benefits of going to a huge r1 institution

naive pivot
#

exactly, everyone focuses on getting into a good undergrad and berkely/ucla have a wide range of opportunities (if you can reach them over the 12k kids in your class). But honestly, all the UC's have good opportunities and are highly accredited, so honestly the college craze is not really worth it unless you aren't doing grad school.

#

thats just the luck of being a california student ig

outer gyro
#

facts on facts on facts

#

i keep tryna explain this to people

naive pivot
#

ik

#

the top 3 would be nice but its really not the end of the world if you don't get into them.

#

You can apply yourself ANYWHERE and show grad school boards that you are committed and know what you are doing.

#

and if you are smart, you can really succeed in any place

outer gyro
#

i've observed a lot of people at ucsd have some kind of victim complex where they constantly mope about not getting into somewhere more "prestigious"

naive pivot
#

ucsd is mad prestigious too is whats crazy about that

outer gyro
#

like sorry but i have so many friends who would absolutely love to be in their position if they're not appreciating it

naive pivot
#

I mean yea, going to school for 1/4 tuition as anywhere else, at a top ranked institution/r1 with the BEACH next to you, huge campus, and student resources (hard to get but exist) is crazy to complain about

#

and that goes with all the UC's

outer gyro
#

it's not really walking distance

naive pivot
#

ahh i see

#

still its a beautiful campus

#

but idk.. where is fit? why do you want to go to a college just because its highly ranked by a group of rich people

#

Like prestige makes sense but at some point, you gotta relax

outer gyro
#

for most people it's because they grinded in high school and want something to show for it

naive pivot
#

idk that is true, but when highschool becomes a grind for college you aren't learning. what happend to taking classes that you truly enjoy learning about, I just took classes I liked and graduated top 10% of my class without even thinking about college until summer of junior year.

#

but my friends have been thinking about college since elementary, and literally just max out weighted classes without even thinking about what they are interested in

outer gyro
#

the grind doesn't stop lol

#

it seems like after you get an admission letter you're chilling but

naive pivot
#

nah im planning to grind way harder in college

#

because grad school is no joke

cosmic onyx
#

UCSD is tied for #6 for public universities too

#

Still a great school

outer gyro
#

i love to rep ucsd in here because i think we're slept on but everywhere else i'm slandering this place so hard

naive pivot
#

lol ucsd has always been a good school, the college system is cool, dorms (the newer ones) look really nice, my ucsd grad friend had an amazing time there, and if you care about prestige its in the T30

outer gyro
#

the college system does more bad than good imo

#

kind of a hot take

naive pivot
#

idk how it even works fully

#

do you get admitted based on the college you ranked higher? are the colleges capped, its so confusing

#

what if i don't want to take humanities or extra writing classes

outer gyro
naive pivot
#

yea for me i just did sixth, seventh, eighth for top three, than john muir

#

ERC at the end ofc

#

although I applied environmental systems so idk how that even applies to admissions since it is a whole 4 year program

outer gyro
#

erc is much worse than revelle

#

imo

naive pivot
#

good because i put it last

outer gyro
#

sixth is the best balance but honestly the housing is kinda mid compared to 7th, 8th, and the other stuff we're cooking up

naive pivot
#

yea hopefully with 8th college, it'll be less competitive this cycle, and 8th looks sick as HELL

#

ucsd lowkey has been my top UC even before i knew anything ab it

outer gyro
#

kitchens for everybody

#

but it's a lil far from the rest of campus

naive pivot
#

ahh i see

#

thats def a drawback

#

but all new appliances and everything would be nice as a freshman

#

only thing bad about UCSD, UCLA, UCB are you can barely interact with professors

outer gyro
#

fax

#

well

#

you can

#

but it's kinda tough

naive pivot
#

makes me wish i applied to some LAC's because that is important for sure

outer gyro
#

lower division classes with a bajillion people? not a chance

#

still doable but tough

hearty halo
#

Lowkey nervous about the transfer experience at ucla if I go there

#

Specifically for the daily bruin

naive pivot
#

i have a friend who did ucla transfer

hearty halo
naive pivot
#

she loved it, and ucla has an emphasis on the last two years

hearty halo
naive pivot
#

but im sure transfer has its downsides (not knowing anyone, being limited to transfer social groups, etc, you are late to the game)

hearty halo
#

For me it’s not rlly an academics/social worry, more of just an ec worry

naive pivot
#

totally understandable

hearty halo
naive pivot
#

but yea ec's at ucla and berkeley are CRAZY competitive

hearty halo
naive pivot
#

the newspaper?

#

or reporting idk

hearty halo
#

It’s like most college newspapers in that they accept pretty much everyone who can do the work

#

The newspaper

naive pivot
#

thats fire than

#

whats the problem

hearty halo
#

I’d prob never make senior board

#

Which is kind of crucial for jobs

naive pivot
#

ahh i see

#

for journalism?

hearty halo
#

Cause first year I’d be a writer, next year I’d be an editor, but likely not a senior board position

hearty halo
#

It’s just a minor consideration

naive pivot
#

i do know alot of journalism majors who have attended grad school

#

if thats a consideration for you

hearty halo
#

I will not be attending a graduate j-school

naive pivot
#

UC's do have a guranteed graduate program as long as you keep your gpa up

#

ahh than i see

hearty halo
#

Typically only students who have weak undergrad journalism experience (ie they focused mostly on academics, other stuff, etc) go to graduate j-school

#

Or ones who want to transition into journalism

#

Back when I was at medill, none of us were gonna go to grad school

naive pivot
#

gotchu, is there anyway u can get involved before transferring

#

or maybe emailing them

hearty halo
#

Na

#

Not that I’d want to lowkey I’m too busy

naive pivot
#

is there anything u can do than? lol

hearty halo
naive pivot
#

ahh gotchu

#

whats your goals for transfer?

#

are there any other colleges other than ucla

hearty halo
#

Likely my local csu since the department will give me merit to cover my costs and I love their program

#

But USC if it gives me merit or rlly good aid, though that’s unlikely

naive pivot
#

gotchu, both sound like good plans

hearty halo
naive pivot
#

facts!!

hearty halo
naive pivot
#

im fine with any UC really

#

i do live right next to ucla so it would be amazing to get in

#

but obviously im not counting on it

hearty halo
#

Good luck!

naive pivot
#

you too!!

hearty halo
naive pivot
#

its just pretty as hell and the culture there is very attractive to me

hearty halo
#

I’m in Pasadena and other ucla adjacent areas a lot these days for work

naive pivot
#

yea, its hard to not want to go to a school when its so close and has quality education

#

but for straight hs--> undergrad its always a gamble

hearty halo
#

I didn’t apply my time around

#

Cause I did early decision

naive pivot
#

i mean yea northwestern is a amazing choice, I would ED if i could afford the colleges

#

but lowk due to the fact i would get no fin aid i decided to apply to barely any private schools

#

half the schools i applied to are the UC's

hearty halo
#

That makes sense, sticker price at a private is crazy expensive

I have no clue he told me and he said it was a conditional acceptance 😭 don’t take my word for it tho bc I haven’t actually seen his portal

He could be lying

all acceptances are conditional

gentle wyvern

I really can’t think of anything that can give early admission unless he is a recruit

Zero clue

berkeley admits some people early in like february i thinj

idk if ucsb has that

gentle wyvern
drifting sandal

they were like we read ur application and want u to apply to this more selective special program

so maybe this person got that

it was from a prof in my major department

gentle wyvern

oh

if anyone else is wondering its CCS (i think)

what major were they

Go to UC Davis we can teach you how to be a consultant

This is also a class

its only these though right?

Yeah

thats not rly conditional though

#

Hey guys

#

If you apply to a UC for CS and don’t get in through direct admission, do they give you an offer to enroll pre-major or no?

granite schooner
weary coral
#

Damn

#

That kind of sucks

#

Thanks though

honest vine
covert bolt
#

if they were

#

that’d be like

#

5/9 UCs being the top UCs

#

top ucs have to be like cal, la and maybe one more

SD or SB

last wyvern

Davis asw

id say top is la cal and sd

#

no shit

granite schooner

ppl usually like to include sd in it, but i'd say only if you're doing tech

#

its berk > la > sd > irvine

#

sd has really damm good bio, chem, biochrm, environmental science engineering w super well funded research

floral iron

#

tbh i just feel like to me the top ucs are just the ones that arent sc riverside and merced

#

like id be ecstatic to get into any of the other six

#

if you know what i mean

#

obv thats prob not how theyr eactually ranked its just how i feel

undone tendon
nova bridge
#

and ive heard facilities arent great

#

just personal preference tbh

undone tendon
#

ah makes sense

silver pendant
#

ucla and cal are the only ones that can afford popular profs

#

not that such would matter for undergrad

silver pendant
#

they’re largely equivalent schools beside riverside and merced

Last year Davis was March 10 i think

does uc release in waves still?

#

i specifically want to know for ucla and ucb smile

valid crater
#

For regents scholars and met i think

nova bridge
#

i think ucsc is late Feb thru March

outer gyro
#

i think maybe ucm, ucr, etc might

turbid ermine
#

I believe Ucm and ucr publish

#

SD/LA definitely don’t for freshmen but SD at least did for transfers last year I think

#

Davis might?

#

Berkeley does

#

I forgot sb

#

I don’t think Irvine does

dont ask me how i know this as a junior

We’re discussing decision release dates

# royal steppe or ECs are weighed more?

in cali everybody has amazing ecs and essays on top of great gpas so they're prolly more holistic because they can't choose by gpa

im overthinking everything

im just here to pass info to my senior friends

rustic agate
#

wtf are you doing here then lol

#

data means nothing

#

zilch

#

0

#

your friends either get in or they don't

#

there's no magic gpa number that guarantees acceptance

#

I've seen 3.0s get in and I've seen 4.0+ people rejected

#

college admissions are 60% skill, 40% luck lol

delicate vine
rustic agate
#

admissions data rapidly change year to year

#

higher GPAs=more likely to get in though

so you should probably be working on that than having mini heart attacks looking at numbers

#

@humble nova @runic hawk hey y'all are the cali people i know so i wanted to ask some stuff to prove my mom wrong

#

approximately out of your senior class every year, what percent go to uc's? ivies? csu's? top oos publics like uiuc purdue etc? cali privates like usc scu uh lmu idk? not any of these?

#

i know that's very specific but literally rough approximations is fine 😭

#

if anyone else is cali instate that works too🙏

#

my mom seems to think EVERYONE in cali ONLY goes to cali and the ones who go oos are those who didn't get into uc's/csu's

valid crater

#

do y'all not have stats idk

#

is your school not oversharing 😔

if I get into MIT, I'm going to MIT over the UCs any day

valid crater
#

ivy+ is different

#

im talking about oos publics

radiant cape
#

oh okay

valid crater
#

ivy+ yeah people will choose that over UCS as long as they can afford

radiant cape
#

still

valid crater
#

but her logic is if it's not ivy+, they'll only go oos if no uc's

radiant cape
#

like Purdue, UIUC, GTech, UW, etc.

valid crater
#

and i need stats to prove her wrong

valid crater
#

no bcuz I'd choose Purdue over every uc but la berk

#

and irvine

runic hawk
#

a fair share of oos public’s but most people choose UCs over those (bar maybe UT, purdue because it’s affordable, GT, and uiuc)

#

i’d say around 10 people get into each of these oos public’s

#

but a lot of people end up choosing berkeley or uci over to save money on inatate

runic hawk
#

i can screen share naviance stats sometime if u want

radiant cape
#

most of my school go to CSUs/community colleges, some UCs (~20???) out of ~200 class size

runic hawk
#

but i also go to a t20 public hs and there’s freaks and geeks out here

#

not many people choose purdue over uci at our school tbh but that’s just because almost everyone decently slightly competitive gets in

@everyone the freshmen UC and Cal State Statement of Intent to Register (SIR aka what you need to commit to a UC/Cal State) deadline has been extended to May 15. If you are admitted off the waitlist after this date, you will get additional time to submit an SIR. However, if you’re waitlisted, you should commit to another school if you don’t get accepted to a UC/Cal State by May 15 (although you should aim for May 1 if other schools don’t follow this May 15 change). You can withdraw your original commitment if you get off the waitlist, but you likely won’t receive your deposit back.

University of California

Today (Feb. 7) the University of California announced that all nine of its undergraduate campuses will extend their Statement of Intent to Register (SIR) deadline for first-year undergraduate students to May 15. UC campuses have made this decision for students and their families impacted by the current delays to the Free Application for Federal ...

The California State University has extended the intent to register deadline for fall 2024 for new first-time, first-year admitted students in response to the further delays in FAFSA.

Not sure if any other schools will or have or plan to follow

If you’re waitlisted you need to commit elsewhere
