overwhelming guilt for making my parents pay

[teal coral]

penn state is cracked

[nova bridge]

i also got into upitt but meh

[static plaza]

as long as your parents have enough for retirement h should be okay

[teal coral]

upitt for bio is underrated asl

[static plaza]

at the end of the day that money still going to ur inheritance

[valid crater]

It'll be the same price if you do coops

[static plaza]

kinda like if you take it now vs taking it later on in life

[nova bridge]

i know

[nova bridge]

im doing engineering

[nova bridge]

i cant tell if theyre joking or not when they say they have to dip into their retirement fund

and my brother's only 5 years younger whats their plan for him

[nova bridge]

yeah hope so idk if i can do 2 coops in four years though

[static plaza]

if your parents work cs js pray they dont get laid off

[nova bridge]

my dads been in the same company for like

[static plaza]

as long as they move away from the bay in retirement theyre gonna be fine

[nova bridge]

14 years

[static plaza]

should be solid then

[nova bridge]

my mom has some skillset thing thats very in dmeand

but also like

[nova bridge]

44 and 50

i think

[static plaza]

[nova bridge]

hope so

my brother can just go to riverside or something <3

its a miracle i got into neu in the first place

3.38 gpa anyone?

[oblique violet]

When is uc davis decision release?

[static plaza]

3.38 into neu is wild

[heady cobalt]

lmfao that’s crazy

[static plaza]

but congrats

[pallid crater]

Approx a week

[oblique violet]

alr

[nova bridge]

i love him and all but you try reading his essays

it's so bad i never know where to begin

and granted im sure the pandemic was part of that

but holy shit its so bad

[oblique violet]

only applied to ucd and ucla

[nova bridge]

i had to explain interior angles to him and i think i lose cells

[nova bridge]

and a 1560

but yes

[heady cobalt]

feel the same way w my sis lol

every sentence is fragments

[nova bridge]

i have war flashbacks to trying to edit his essays

mentally im still on that one day where i got rejected 5 times in one day lmfaoo

[static plaza]

that makes sense then

[elder viper]

My mentality Fr Fr

[honest vine]

last year's are pinned

[nova bridge]

i did a chanceme post once

let me show you the comment

[south flame]

Wait did Riverside come out today also?

[brittle rose]

its on your uc app

[static plaza]

a while ago

[nova bridge]

"this is meant in a funny/nice way, r u a lazy fuck??"

[static plaza]

nah cuz thats a valid question

[south flame]

This is very fucked up

[nova bridge]

i have adhd

[hidden cedar]

ucsc is so close for me

i love ucsc

[nova bridge]

it was diagnosed after my 3.0 freshman year

😃

[static plaza]

ik kids in my school who chill with a 3.0 who do insanely well in exams but cant do other stuff

[nova bridge]

me on standardized tests

[hidden cedar]

i mean

all the high gpa kids do well on standardized tests

[nova bridge]

i am not a high gpa kid

[static plaza]

honestly wanna get checked for adhd but im a good test taker that cant write well

[nova bridge]

as we just established

[nova bridge]

get checked for dysgraphia

while you're at it

[elder viper]

Yes

[nova bridge]

as in

[valid crater]

I think coops are mandatory for everyone

[nova bridge]

struggles with writing

[nova bridge]

one is but idk abt two

[valid crater]

How old is he

[static plaza]

its not that bad but compared to my peers my writing is so shit

[nova bridge]

just 13

[hidden cedar]

uhhhhh

[static plaza]

only got as cuz i was carries in groupworks

[nova bridge]

i get it ive never gotten higher than a b im so bad at essays

[hidden cedar]

u can prob undo it

[valid crater]

Then he has time

[nova bridge]

i worry about the fundamentals

[nova bridge]

thats a lie i didnt do honors english this year bc we dont have it and i got a 99

oh

and in my 2.8/3.0 freshman year english was the only class i had an a in

so i guess i can only do well if i dont try

[brittle rose]

im 2 for 2 (1.5/2???) for uc acceptances rn with a chance of being rescinded

[valid crater]

Why 1.5

[elder viper]

My freshmen Gpa Fr Fr

[brittle rose]

uc super beach's chancellor thing

and got accepted to uc summer camp

[valid crater]

I don't think that's 0.5

that's a proper acceptance iirc

[brittle rose]

true ig

[gentle wyvern]

How does ucsc give decision

[agile wedge]

bruh every time i ask my counselor my chances at anything i always get the opposite

so ive stopped

[static plaza]

you still dont have one fish?

[gentle wyvern]

Nope

[nova bridge]

portal

[static plaza]

also email

i learned i got accepted into ucr and ucsc by opening my emails

[hidden cedar]

i dont ahve ucsc decision either lol

i mgetting rejected

im so cooked

[static plaza]

did they js look at gpa or smthing

[agile wedge]

i was setting up my ucr portal

and i finished and it was just there

[brittle rose]

def not just gpa lol

[agile wedge]

idek why i waited till the day of to set it up

[static plaza]

honestly wild

[agile wedge]

surely not right

[static plaza]

tbf i made my ucsb portal yesterday

[brittle rose]

nah mine was pretty horrible

[static plaza]

wait no i made ucr yestersay

[agile wedge]

in what regard?

[brittle rose]

unweighted

[agile wedge]

if you don't mind me asking, what was it

[brittle rose]

3.73

[agile wedge]

are you fucking with me

thats not that bad at all whatsoever

im rocking a 3.65 lmao

[rustic agate]

I had a 3.6 uw in high school and still got into CSULJ

albeit I had some kek SAT and ACT scores 😏

[agile wedge]

im probably finished at the rest of the UCs without any miracles cause the rest i did are tough

irvine, davis, sd, la, and berkeley

[rustic agate]

Who knows tbh

I defo didn't expect to be WL'd at Berkeley when I applied

I also didn't expect to get into SD but waitlisted at SB and Irvine(thought they would be surefire acceptances)

eventually the SB and Irvine waitlists translated to acceptances but yeah you never know @agile wedge

you could straight up be rejected from the good UC's and get into Berk

[agile wedge]

i mean yeah the UC system can be a bit interesting at times

[agile wedge]

the nerves would kill me considering Berkeley releasing very late on the 28th

[heady cobalt]

they r keeping u at the edge of ur seat

[agile wedge]

id have to go an entire week thinking i was screwed if that occurred

[rustic agate]

tbh I don't get the prestige Berk gets

[heady cobalt]

master of suspense

[rustic agate]

it really isn't that great of a school imo

overrated really

[agile wedge]

i mean it is the flagship UC with plenty of research

[rustic agate]

research is everywhere ngl.

[heady cobalt]

their cs program tho

[agile wedge]

but that stuff isnt undergrad related

they got good undergrad stuff probably

i just havent looked into it too much

[rustic agate]

All the UC's do

Tbh I feel like I have better opportunities here at SD than at Berk

[agile wedge]

how is the social scene at UCSD though

[rustic agate]

SD's quarter system allowed me to take classes in CENG and also business

[heady cobalt]

wait bro r u a ucsd student

[rustic agate]

would be tough to do in a school like Berk

[rustic agate]

yeah

[hushed terrace]

on ivy day 😭😭😭 might possibly be the most depressing day of my life

[rustic agate]

actually pretty good

[agile wedge]

he goes to csu la jolla

[heady cobalt]

omgg I love ucsd

[rustic agate]

shhh

[agile wedge]

thats good then

ucsd is probably one of my favorite ucs anyway

cause pre-med

[rustic agate]

oh yeah pre-med is gold tier here

lots of pre-med people

[agile wedge]

yeah exactly

[rustic agate]

I once had a class where I was the only non-premed

everyone else was pre-med

[agile wedge]

i figure if i went to ucsd for pre-med id have a very good time

but very hard to get in

and i doubt id get it

[agile wedge]

damn lol

[rustic agate]

@agile wedge don't sell yourself short man

who knows

Hell even I thought I wouldn't get in to UCSD cause my GPA apparently was in the middle 50% of acceptances

[agile wedge]

that is true

[hidden cedar]

im cooked

[agile wedge]

but it is the hope that kills you

[hidden cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/adrian-broner-getting-cooked-cooked-aint-gone-lie-gif-2072784628130052433

[heady cobalt]

fr bellingham stop selling urself short

[agile wedge]

all i have to do is look at my other reaches

[heady cobalt]

u gotta expect the unexpected

[agile wedge]

we will see

as of now am grateful for riverside at least

[heady cobalt]

u will see acceptances

[heady cobalt]

oo congrats

[turbid ermine]

i like every class in this schedule but the order absolutely pisses me off

[agile wedge]

thanks!

[turbid ermine]

actually i lied i like half of them

[rustic agate]

Riverside is great. One of my friends turned down SD for Riverside cause Riverside Med gives preference to UCR alumni

[heady cobalt]

no ur gonna be cooking in ur dorm of ur dream university

[rustic agate]

I would've gone to UCR if I didn't get into SD tbh

they gave me B.S./M.S, Honors college, and Chancellors scholarship

actually I'd be torn between UCR/UCD/UCI/UCSB

[agile wedge]

yeah for the pathway to their med school

very very good option

its honestly my top option rn

i only have 3 acceptances tho: temple, ucr, and cal poly pomona

[rustic agate]

UCR and CPP are ok

[heady cobalt]

does berk give preference to Berkeley bs majors for the haas program

[rustic agate]

idk lol, I heard Haas is competitive

[heady cobalt]

or like Berkeley undergrads

[rustic agate]

Luckily Rady allows for literally anyone to take their business classes

[heady cobalt]

oh great I wanna do an MBA there 😭

[rustic agate]

it's not locked in

[rustic agate]

you have a long ways to go before MBA

and I mean a long ways( coming from a prospective MBA here lmao)

[heady cobalt]

ohh that’s cool

where r u planning to get ur MBA from

[rustic agate]

Probably UCSD or anywhere for that matter

[agile wedge]

iirc i did ucsd john muir as my top spot and revelle as my lowest

cause i hate math

[rustic agate]

I'm finishing up undergrad next quarter and finishing up my M.S. next year

[heady cobalt]

oh do they prefer ucsd undergrads over other students

[heady cobalt]

damnn

[rustic agate]

got into the B.S./M.S. program for my major

[agile wedge]

nice nice

[rustic agate]

no

[hushed terrace]

does ucsd have the 4+1 thing

[rustic agate]

or at least I don't think so

[heady cobalt]

that’s cool wtf

[rustic agate]

yeah for certain majors

[heady cobalt]

which ones

[rustic agate]

I'm in one rn

[rustic agate]

I know Engineering does

[heady cobalt]

oo ucsd is now one of my elite choices

[rustic agate]

yeah it's pretty elite ngl

[heady cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/you-have-been-promoted-you-are-now-one-of-my-elite-employees-gif-11845640203950460776

[heady cobalt]

loll I love the campus

[rustic agate]

Betcha Berkeley doesn't have that 4+1 program

screw Berkeley

They rejected me 4 years ago and I'm still salty

wtf

[agile wedge]

sleepin on ucsd

ucsd is up there fr fr

[heady cobalt]

ill give u an opinion on this after march 28

[heady cobalt]

I have nvr slept on ucsd

[rustic agate]

I swear idk how UCSD got ultra competitive over the span of 4 years lol

[agile wedge]

ucsd the goat unless they reject me

if they reject me its a diff story

[rustic agate]

When I applied, the acceptance rate was around 33%

[heady cobalt]

goat regardless jk

[rustic agate]

now it's like low 20s

wtf happened

[agile wedge]

WHAT

[heady cobalt]

it’s like all the ucs

[agile wedge]

WHEN DID IT

[heady cobalt]

isn’t it lower than 20?

[agile wedge]

HUH

[heady cobalt]

calm down im not a cop

[agile wedge]

I WAS STILL OPERATING UNDER THE BASIS IT WAS LIKE 33%

[heady cobalt]

ull be fine

[rustic agate]

https://admissions.ucsd.edu/first-year/

[agile wedge]

who told you i was black wtf

[rustic agate]

That was like 4 years ago lol

[heady cobalt]

yoo im just reciting a TikTok audio 💀

[rustic agate]

UCLA's acceptance rate rn is like 8% now

I remember when UChicago was at 8% acceptance rate

[agile wedge]

i just fell to my knees man

the dream is over

[heady cobalt]

I just saw a man fall to his knees outside Walmart

[rustic agate]

it really isn't

acceptance rate is just a stat

[pallid crater]

Insane

Meanwhile Berk

Tfw Irvine is at 25.7% and UCSB is at 27.9%

[rustic agate]

I think what makes UCSD/UCLA/Berky so hard to get in is the fact that so many applicants apply now

[agile wedge]

yeah but like my uc app was NOT good

[rustic agate]

When I applied, UCSD had 105k applications total

[pallid crater]

This is why I applied to all the UCs except Merced

UCs too damn competitive 😭

[agile wedge]

i should have fuckin done it

i almost did it

but i didnt

now im missing out on ucsb or ucsc

[rustic agate]

UCSD had like 130k applications this year I think

[agile wedge]

its either riverside or one of the other ones takes a shot on me

[pallid crater]

Ngl I kinda underestimated how well I'd do with the UCs

I got UCSB Regents, UCR Chancellors, and UCSC so far

[hushed terrace]

daaaamn

[pallid crater]

I dunno why I was so neurotic that I spent like $421000412020 to apply to all of the UCs

😭

[rustic agate]

you did far better than I did lol

I never got UCSB regents

[agile wedge]

bro i dont even hit 25th percentile of ucsd gpa what the fuck

[rustic agate]

tbh idk how they even calculate that

[hushed terrace]

capped weighted gpa or unweighted?

[heady cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/lin-manuel-miranda-gif-24408261

[rustic agate]

I'd take capped weighted with a grain of salt, unweighted may be a problem

[agile wedge]

weighted gpa (non UC) i currently have a 3.96 but it counts all 4 years (i severely fucked up freshman year with 6 Bs in 1 semester and my school barely offers APs)

[hushed terrace]

yeah capped weighted is so wack my gpa dropped just cuz i took 6 extra courses even tho i got all As

[rustic agate]

well, if it makes you feel better , I went to a brand new school when I was in high school

we barely had any classes freshman year

in fact our first ever AP class was AP Human Geo and that was in 10th grade lol

[hushed terrace]

ah at least uc’s don’t factor 9th grade in gpa calc

[agile wedge]

yeah

my unweighted is probably like a 3.7 or so i guess for 10th and 11th

[rustic agate]

yeah they don't. I massively f'ed up my freshman year when I was in HS so

yeah

it's all good man

[agile wedge]

i mean yeah

[hushed terrace]

freshman year was my best year 😭

[agile wedge]

i guess then im mainly worried about the writing

[rustic agate]

my best was in sophomore year lol

[heady cobalt]

sameee

[agile wedge]

senior year 1st semester and sophomore 2nd semester were 2 of my best years

[rustic agate]

Mine were sophomore year and junior year 2nd sem

[agile wedge]

particularly sophomore 2nd i only had Bs in visual art and algebra

[agile wedge]

ah so you locked in when needed

very good

[rustic agate]

ah yeah I had one B in AP Hug one semester and one B in Honors English in Sophomore year

rest were all A's

[pallid crater]

https://tenor.com/view/ucsd-cse-cs-computer-computer-science-gif-15796615247181139944

[rustic agate]

in Junior year I had 3 B's and 3A's 1st sem and 4A's 2B's in 2nd Sem

[agile wedge]

from sophomore - junior years I had 3 Cs, all in math, plus 3 Bs

other than that all As

[rustic agate]

CSE might me the major that crushes a lot of applicants' dreams

[rustic agate]

tbh I also had a good SAT/ACT to pad any low grades

[gentle wyvern]

did u do loci

[rustic agate]

so I could pull the "I had a hard teacher" card

[pallid crater]

Were the UCs test opt already or nah by then

I forgor

[rustic agate]

Did one for Berkeley but not for SB or I

[gentle wyvern]

oh so u just let it happen damn

bro i feel cooked ngl

[agile wedge]

i dont have that but i have big extenuating circumstances and participation in a UC EAOP program

[gentle wyvern]

idk

ucsc not receiving admission yet is concerning

[hushed terrace]

hopefully they assume this w calc bc for me cuz i got a B both sems but a 5 on the exam

[rustic agate]

Nah I was part of the last class that had mandatory SAT/ACT submissions

so I was forced to submit one or the other or both

I had a 1500 SAT and 35 ACT so I just submitted both

[rustic agate]

I got mine 2 weeks after the first wave and it was an acceptance

you are fine

[gentle wyvern]

pranav always giving me reassurance

[rustic agate]

tbh after I got into SD I felt that it didn't matter if I got into Irvine/SB or not so I didn't send a LOCI to them

[gentle wyvern]

ucsd is my dream (dont tell LA, they dont gotta know)

[rustic agate]

screw UCLA

their campus sucks anyway

they don't got beach

[gentle wyvern]

well....... lol

[gentle wyvern]

fax

[hushed terrace]

if ucsd doesn’t gimme 6th college imma be so sad

[agile wedge]

ive had to live on it, its not bad

[rustic agate]

I'm a Sixer lol

[agile wedge]

but it aint particularly stellar either

[gentle wyvern]

i luv ucsd u dont understand

[agile wedge]

i put 6th as 6th on my preference list

[gentle wyvern]

and ucla

[rustic agate]

I'm just trying to make anxious high schoolers feel better ok???

[gentle wyvern]

ucsd and ucla

accept me both

[hushed terrace]

yoo how’d you like it

[agile wedge]

my bad

[gentle wyvern]

or one

[rustic agate]

https://tenor.com/view/thumbs-up-double-thumbs-up-like-agreed-yup-gif-16109683157885754862

[agile wedge]

tbf the hill at ucla does fuckin suck

[rustic agate]

Best experience ever. Still miss it

[agile wedge]

in terms of steepness

[gentle wyvern]

does the school u chose like sixth or seventh impact decisions

[agile wedge]

very annoying ass shit

[rustic agate]

No

[agile wedge]

and the fact they put 3 people to a small non airconditioned room

[rustic agate]

yeah we don't have triples in Sixth college

it's either singles or doubles

[agile wedge]

so is it like first accepted into ucsd then the specific college?

[rustic agate]

yeah

[agile wedge]

ah

sounds like the sensible way to go

i put revelle as dead last and if i end up there i wouldnt even be mad cause id be at ucsd

[rustic agate]

colleges are mostly your dorms + how you want to structure your writing/GE sequence

[rustic agate]

Revelle's writing and GE sequence suck if you're a STEM major

[hushed terrace]

do they ever actually give you a college that’s below your top 3 ranking

[rustic agate]

you probably made a good choice putting Revelle dead last

[rustic agate]

it happens but it's rare

like really rare

[agile wedge]

which i am

i tried to do a bit of research into each college

and revelle did NOT look like fun in terms of the work

i put john muir, thurgood, and roosevelt as my top 3

[rustic agate]

you may be housed in a different college than what you got into but UCSD will try their hardest to affiliate you into one of your top three choices

[hushed terrace]

oh bet

[rustic agate]

Muir is good, Marshall is kinda teetering on the edge, Roosevelt might be bad

[hushed terrace]

wait ppl have started living in eight college right

[rustic agate]

yeah in like 1 building

8th college looks like a jail ngl

[hushed terrace]

oh 💀💀💀

[rustic agate]

not as bad as Muir but it's pretty bad

I had a class there and the colors were awful ( made an already boring class even more depressing)

[agile wedge]

damn

i put eighth as my 4th

[gentle wyvern]

ucsd wants me

they want me

[rustic agate]

GE's are chill though

so it's cool

aesthetically not pleasing buildings though

[hushed terrace]

how’s seventh

[rustic agate]

Seventh actually looks nice ngl and has easy GE's

I like it

[gentle wyvern]

i forget which one i did

did financial aid come with acceptance for ucs

uz idk if they are gunna this year

[hushed terrace]

is it rlly far from campus?

[rustic agate]

it's kinda far from the center of campus(Geisel/Price Center/Center Hall) but you're really close to the gym so...

[tired patrol]

does 6th have good dorms

[rustic agate]

best dorms

[tired patrol]

nice

[hushed terrace]

ah

[agile wedge]

i put 7th fifth

[rustic agate]

tbh shuttle buses run every 5-10 minutes so if you don't want to walk, just take the bus

[gentle wyvern]

i put seventh second or third

[tired patrol]

@rustic agate did you live on campus all 4 years or move out

[rustic agate]

No they kick you out after 2 years

2 years is guaranteed

[tired patrol]

lmao kick out

is there any way to stay as an upperclassmen

[rustic agate]

you could try waitlisting for housing after sophomore year but it's not guaranteed

if you do get housing though, you could stay

[tired patrol]

oo ok

is la jolla lively

ik theres a westfield

[rustic agate]

lively as in?

[tired patrol]

like stuff to do

[rustic agate]

ah yeah there's stuff to do in University City

La Jolla city is actually south of campus and kinda far to reach without a car

[tired patrol]

ah i see

what was your major at ucsd

[rustic agate]

Chemical Engineering

[tired patrol]

wowow very fun

are you applying to grad schools now?

[rustic agate]

I already got in

[tired patrol]

W

[rustic agate]

I'm staying at UCSD for another year cause I got into the B.S./M.S. program for my major

[agile wedge]

I managed to calculate my 10th + 11th grade years combined

culmulative I managed a 3.98w and a 3.67 uw

but most of the dragging down was 10th grade 1st semester

otherwise it was a 3.71uw

2 4.14Ws during 11th grade

basically 10th grade 1st semester was shit but then i came in strong

we'll see how the UCs like it but i tried ig

[rustic agate]

@agile wedge you've done all that you've done

the rest is out of your hands

this is the cold hard truth

We'll just have to see how March plays out

In the mean time, I'm wishing you good luck and rooting for you no matter what happens

[agile wedge]

yeah

[agile wedge]

ay thanks man

hopefully i will attend csu la jolla

we will see though

[rustic agate]

Sending good sungod vibes your way

if you do get in, we should plan a meetup at some point

[agile wedge]

that would be nice

im coming in right as you're going out lol

[rustic agate]

Nah I have another year

[agile wedge]

oh yeah masters my bad

[rustic agate]

you'll see me

[agile wedge]

tbf ucsd would be ideal

im from LA and my parents desperately want me in driving distance

so itd be cool

[rustic agate]

ooh which part?

I'm from the LA area too

[agile wedge]

wont get too specific but id say closer to LAX

so like west la

[rustic agate]

I see. I'm from the OC area(Irvine/Lake Forest area)

[agile wedge]

cool cool

[gentle wyvern]

im from oc no way

well i am in oc

[agile wedge]

csu la jolla meet up in fall?

[gentle wyvern]

yes sir

[rustic agate]

I'm down

[agile wedge]

alright then

just gotta see if we can get in

[rustic agate]

Fun fact: I've met Benz in real life

[agile wedge]

no way what

[rustic agate]

Haven't met @outer gyro yet though

[rustic agate]

yeah

it's true

[agile wedge]

nah cause i thought you meant benzema

like the soccer player

[rustic agate]

Benz the mod

[agile wedge]

💀

yeah i just realized

my error

but yeah id be down if i got in

[rustic agate]

idk the most famous people I've met irl are some Telugu film stars

[agile wedge]

looking at my 10th and 11th grade years i feel rather hopeful cause i did well in the weighted gpa part

[agile wedge]

i see i see

closest ive got to fame is the real madrid team training at UCLA

i saw the actual bellingham 15 feet from me

bro waved

[rustic agate]

oh yeah we got some famous sports teams practicing on the RIMAC field

[agile wedge]

what teams did yall have

[rustic agate]

never got to see them in person though

[agile wedge]

over last summer united came to san diego but idk if they practiced at UCSD or not

man do i love manchester united

[rustic agate]

oh yeah Man United came down

[agile wedge]

NO WAY

i devoted a piece of one of my uc piqs to manchester lmao

cause i was talking about travelling and stuff

[rustic agate]

Actually the most famous sports players I've met are cricket stars

so like Sachin, Jayawardene, Shane Warne...

[agile wedge]

thats pretty cool

[rustic agate]

RIP Shane Warne 😢

My favorite guy on the Australian cricket team

Cricket's just not the same without him

[outer gyro]

you will regularly be able to find both benz and myself at pines

i've met benz a few times there

[valid crater]

this is my worry cuz i got into berk

tbh i wouldn't mind i love Berk but 25% ar for uc's will hurt

[rustic agate]

idk

we'll see

aight I'mma go to bed

this week's been hella rough for me

[soft cargo]

whati is UCSD acceptance rate for CS

[gentle wyvern]

low

[turbid ermine]

[fiery linden]

What about for electrical engineering?

[gentle wyvern]

tbh i have no clue. i mean its a capped major

[modest urchin]

For Santa Cruz, are the rest of the decisions rolling or is it on a specified date?

[valid crater]

do ucsd uci ucla ucd usually post on their socials a few days before about the confirmed decision date

[turbid ermine]

SD/LA no

UCI not sure

I think davis at least hints at it

SD/LA is such a shit show

Like I see why they don’t bc server traffic but at the same time don’t release three UCs in an hour if that’s a worry

[tired heath]

When do we think SD and LA decisions are coming out this yr? Cuz some ppl were saying cuz 3/1 was a Friday it might be pushed back to the 22nd and not 15th😭

[soft cargo]

Anyone applied to UCSD CS?

[daring valve]

Yes

But I don’t meet the F requirement so my app is prolly being thrown out

[unkempt drift]

so true, warnie was a gem😢

[unkempt drift]

same question

can we expect decisions to come in about 2 weeks, if we're forecasting it based on last year's decisions?

I mean UCSD, UCLA and UCD?

[soft cargo]

ucsb decision came out?

[lucid drum]

is out

[soft cargo]

when?

anyone got in UCSB?

[topaz widget]

no it isnt

[lucid drum]

Is not?

I saw someone in celebration area posted their college list saying ucsb is accepted

Hmm

[frigid musk]

they released a couple early acceptances bc of scholarships but the majority of decisions aren’t out iirc

[valid crater]

Only regents/chancellors

[fiery linden]

genuine question, why are uc decisions so random

like a lot of other universities, decisions can be moderately predicted

however, everyone i talk to say that uc admissions are a lottary

[fiery linden]

aside for ivy's and very selective unis ofc

[edgy harness]

this is great news

[valid crater]

because uc's are also very selective and ivy level ish

you can't predict any <t40 uni tbh

[unkempt drift]

is that even organic for students?

like have been really pondering about this, it's only going to get worse in the future

should be able to gauge to some extent your capacity but it seems that's far from that case with US colleges

[valid crater]

tbh if it were easy to get into these colleges that defeats the point of being a selective uni

[teal rivet]

There genuinely should be advice at schools on how students should apply to more than the average number of schools

[valid crater]

getting into a t40< uni is fairly easy and straightforward just get good grades do something outside of school and be authentic

[unkempt drift]

this isn't about whether it's easy to get in or not, was referencing your point about it being a lottery

[valid crater]

it's not exactly a lottery

[teal rivet]

Obviously safeties are nice but the targets/semi reaches should be more varied since it also has an element of luck

[valid crater]

hard to predict yeah but a lottery implies complete randomness

[teal rivet]

True

[void musk]

Uc irvine anyone?

[unkempt drift]

i agree that it's not 'completely random', you definitely to have some prerequisite elements of an app to even be able to be considered a part of that random sample

[teal rivet]

legit this server is just Reddit people speaking but in a more chill tone 😭 like we give advice in the same format as Reddit but less formal

[unkempt drift]

just feel it's not very healthy in the long run to have an extremely random system. there's not anything you or i can do about it tbh because it's competition and sheer amount of apps that is driving this majorly, I doubt if the UCs received as many apps as they did it would be such an 'ambigious' process

[unkempt drift]

funny how I'm nearly the same on reddit and dc lol

but yea i use more full sentences on reddit so you've got me there

[teal rivet]

This is why the UK system makes sense

But I must admit since I didn’t have a teacher teaching me as levels it was hard to prepare for the MAT

it took me like 10x more effort

[valid crater]

that's the whole beauty of holistic admissions

[teal rivet]

so it could affect students who are in economically disadvantaged backgrounds

[valid crater]

tbh anyone who puts in the effort will get in somewhere good

[teal rivet]

but it’s more predictable

[valid crater]

yeah but ^

[ivory nimbus]

yo guys

when do uc irvine results come out

[valid crater]

you can't predict us decisions yes but that's why you apply safeties/targets/reaches

You can easily predict t40< hnis

[valid crater]

check pins for last year, around that time

[teal rivet]

Yeah

[teal rivet]

yep

[unkempt drift]

personally i don't see much beauty in it but it's a game I'm forced to play rn

[unkempt drift]

I prefer the UK's system, but I don't think it would be too far off from what the US's is if it had the same population and received similar amounts of international apps

[valid crater]

if you set a strict rubric on what applicants are judged on and what you need to do to get in, everybody will do that and obviously those with better resources/money will have an advantage

Like if you say get a 1550+ sat and you're in, you're restricting a lot of people

[teal rivet]

Currently tho since a lot of pressure is happening on uk Unis especially for majors like CS admission tests seem to be put in place for 2025

[teal rivet]

People with straight A stars get rejected from Durham

[valid crater]

Holistic gives you a chance to showcase what you've done without being compared to someone with completely different circumstances from yours

[unkempt drift]

yea am starting to see this. Competition is getting intensely tough

at the same time, a lot of this has to do with tons of schools inflating predicts as well

people don't talk about it enough

[topaz widget]

not tru

most likely sure

[teal rivet]

I mean that’s the case usually with all the systems we can come up with

[valid crater]

depends on your definition of "good"

[topaz widget]

there's no clear path to hypsm

very much is for oxbridge

[unkempt drift]

agreed

[teal rivet]

Us applicant numbers tho are much higher

and the gpa system I’m gonna be honest with u sucks

cuz some schools inflate their student grades

actually not some

A lot

[unkempt drift]

you saying more US apps to the UK? Wouldn;t be surprised by it

[unkempt drift]

seems a very common issue

hundreds of thousands of students have such high GPAs

makes it really difficult on top colleges

[topaz widget]

mine has grade deflation avg chem jr year was fucking 55 💀

[unkempt drift]

ahh that sucks lol. My school actually did that quite a bit for normal tests but when it came to mocks (I do CIE A-Levels) they knew that they can't lowball us as it makes us unable to gauge how we'll do in the real exams and affect our apps

[topaz widget]

they screwed us for normal tests lol but they were generous for predicted

[teal rivet]

No more apps to us Unis than apps to uk Unis

[topaz widget]

because they want their students to get offers lol

[teal rivet]

The us is much more famous or appealing globally

[unkempt drift]

yea mine were also quite generous for predicteds, it was quite infuriating for me to see people who were barely scratching As somehow get A*s in all of their subjects

there is a decent difference in the scores for most subjects so it's interesting how tons of schools are just making it worse for students in the long run

[unkempt drift]

they're actually not doing us much of a favor in the long run

[unkempt drift]

ahh ok. makes sense

[teal rivet]

Actually seen nyu data and they equate a levels more generously

A B in A level is an A minus in the American system

even cie has the same equivalency

[tepid lodge]

lol do not apply for CS

[teal rivet]

Nah for Econ too

which is competitive

aswell

[tepid lodge]

A star is the highest right? Lol those poor kids

Durham lmfao

[teal rivet]

But discrete maths?

[teal rivet]

Yeah

[teal rivet]

This kid had 4 A stars

[unkempt drift]

i'm not sure how they arrived to that conclusion but it could be because A-Levels don't have an equivalent in a US curriculum unless you're doing IBs

[teal rivet]

and great awards

[teal rivet]

It’s on the CIE site

[unkempt drift]

yea i know that and it doesn't quite seem right

[teal rivet]

Not rlly

[tepid lodge]

There's too much variation among our high schools to say for sure

The best comparison you'll get is with AP exams

[teal rivet]

a levels are much harder than the AP tests

[teal rivet]

Or more harsh on boundaries

[unkempt drift]

i applied PPE, which is only marginally easier as one doesn't need to take further maths like for Econ to stand a chance in the top UK unis

[teal rivet]

Cuz of income disparities

[teal rivet]

Nicee I think PPE is also one of the most difficult

[tepid lodge]

Nah ppl from certain areas are generally just dumber

[unkempt drift]

there isn't any comparison in terms of content, rigour and general difficulty

[tepid lodge]

I grew up in a high-income/dumb area

[unkempt drift]

it's up there, can tell by the general requirements as well. of course it's not as high as engineering courses but among humanities subjects it's on the higher side

and even if they say the reqs are A*AA, more often than not you'll need 3-4 A stars like other courses to feel slightly assured of your spot

in top unis that is

[teal rivet]

kinda is in the difficulty aspect but content wise we aren’t following a strict college course equivalent like AP exams do and the fact that people can remove their AP scores is crazy

[unkempt drift]

well it's not because certain APs are comparable to IGs whereas some have A-Level content

and yea i agree about the removing AP score part. It's a far greater blow to remove your A-Level grade

[teal rivet]

Yeah like stats

[unkempt drift]

plus, the fact that A-Level Mathematics is a completely integrated math course rather than being broken down into Calculus, Trig etc.

makes it slightly different

[teal rivet]

For me it is broken down

Well for all uk students it is

We have modules

Or papers

[unkempt drift]

yea i get that, so does CIE

[teal rivet]

But yeah u gotta do well on all of them

To get the overall mark

Not one for Calc

etc

[unkempt drift]

Pure 1, Pure 3, Stats 1 and Stats 2/Mech

it's the same thing

[kind jay]

my school offers International AS and A levels and when I called the UCs ab reporting them they said its non honors 😭

[teal rivet]

I do further too so I take 😭 crazy amounts

[unkempt drift]

yeaa lol

[teal rivet]

Probably doing mech 3 or stats 3 💀

[unkempt drift]

people who do further in my school forgo one A-Level like CS or Chem

cuz the workload gets really intense

[teal rivet]

I think when u step into further maths no AP courses can equate to it

But unfortunately no uni understands that

And course credit isn’t given

[unkempt drift]

definitely. I wrote my A-Level Math paper last week and would say it was incredibly advanced compared to previous years

Pure 3

US Unis won't really understand that

[teal rivet]

And boundaries always seem to be getting higher 💀

[unkempt drift]

just because it's 'normal math' doesn't mean it's normie stuff

[teal rivet]

😂 I bet u they don’t look at the course content at all

[unkempt drift]

yes, altho could also be a symptom of having lower thresholds during COVID

[teal rivet]

they rejected a guy from Oxbridge with a BSc cuz apparently it doesn’t equate to one in America

So he must take a masters in the uk to do a masters in the us

💀

[unkempt drift]

ridiculous

[teal rivet]

Nah

[unkempt drift]

or do like an MPhil

[teal rivet]

look at older papers

They got more greedy cuz there’s no ofqual regulation

for outside boards

[unkempt drift]

at least in our case, Math papers have been getting harder during the last 3-4 years

[teal rivet]

There slightly is but not as strict as there is in the uk

[unkempt drift]

the only thing is that thresholds were really high in previous years

[teal rivet]

Yeah I do cs cie too which has the same feeling

[unkempt drift]

like 235/250 was the A* mark during Feb March 2019's season

which is quite flabbergasting

[teal rivet]

💀

yeah same with me

They so much higher rn

If u do a silly mistake

U can’t even get the a star

[unkempt drift]

lol yea

very little margin for error

they've also been changing the formats of a few subjects off late

econ and CS come to mind

so adapting to that is another thing

[teal rivet]

And the marking is so strict I understand but 💀 I got like a question and didn’t get a mark for a quadratic solving step even tho I did the ac b method and solved it cuz it was ok and were talking about further maths here and the question didn’t specify anything

[teal rivet]

They need u to read that spec so specifically like ur a lawyer

subtle changes cost 10 marks in cs 💀

they introduced some random shit last year that no one noticed on the spec lmao

[unkempt drift]

the other thing is that for econ at least, they don't publically release the spec answers

[teal rivet]

thankfully some of that LLT knowledge came to help 😭

[teal rivet]

💀

[unkempt drift]

they're only available to teachers so unless they do a little bit of under-the-rug business (which they all should do), students won't know how to structure their answers

[teal rivet]

legit tryna milk money out of international students

[teal rivet]

Yeah it’s legit a business

[unkempt drift]

yea lol

each A-Level registration costs a pretty penny

[teal rivet]

Istg

like a lot of money especially Cambridge for some reason they make a fee for anything

[fiery linden]

honestly imagine top unis listed a minimum gpa and ib/ap requirement, which if you fulfill, you get in

for more compeititive majors there can be tests

[unkempt drift]

cambridge makes a ton of money from these sorts of exams. Consider how they also set the IELTS exams

[teal rivet]

Cambridge breathing fee 2025

[unkempt drift]

that's another massive revenue stream

[unkempt drift]

that would be really useful, even if it's obviously not a perfect system

[teal rivet]

That would be good but also suck since some people in more affected areas don’t even have AP/IB unfortunately

[unkempt drift]

would allow applications to contract slightly which is needed in this climate

[teal rivet]

We have a semi decent solution

[unkempt drift]

can try to convert them as much as possible

[fiery linden]

yeah, but then that is why in the uk you have "contextual admissions" aswell, where the school may consider your circumstances

[teal rivet]

Yeah but it’s not as generous as the us

which is understandable

[unkempt drift]

also contextual offers are only made to UK students right?

[teal rivet]

Yeah

[unkempt drift]

i'm not very familiar with them so I may be wrong

[teal rivet]

and they might not give a fuck about medical issues

Just area sometimes

[unkempt drift]

im lucky i didnt need to worry about that but yea

[teal rivet]

Ik a rich guy who lives in a poorer area and got contextual

crazy thing

[unkempt drift]

it's mainly because of the conditionals right

you don't quite have that in the US

[tidal gale]

since yall are talking about uk

has anyone got edinburgh back bruh

[teal rivet]

Yeah and imagine conditionals that ruins a lot of peoples chances to continue since they need to achieve the grades strictly

[teal rivet]

My friend did

[tidal gale]

program?

[teal rivet]

CS

[unkempt drift]

I'm happy the london unis are finally rolling some offers now

[teal rivet]

but I must admit there weren’t a lot of acceptances on Reddit

[tidal gale]

i did edinburgh math and i even heard from them to apply for scholarship but no offer

[unkempt drift]

keeps me really excited for my UC apps now, felt it was gonna be a dry spell until the end of march lol

[teal rivet]

All the Unis send the scholarship emails anyway

[tidal gale]

whato are the conditions

[tidal gale]

only edinburgh did for me

[teal rivet]

Don’t know but it’s on their site probably

[teal rivet]

Warwick and UCL did for me and Bristol which I got one from

[tidal gale]

i got into manchester in 10 days but no scholarship mail until way after

[tidal gale]

uh huh nice

[teal rivet]

Same I think Manchester auto admits offers

as long as ur grades are above

[fiery linden]

honestly man, so annoying

[unkempt drift]

when did you end up getting yours from UCL? Got mine from Warwick but i'm not really considering it

[fiery linden]

applied in november

[tidal gale]

YES

[tidal gale]

oxbridge deadline😭

[teal rivet]

I got into Oxford so I don’t care about Warwick’s rlly annoying team 💀 genuinely rejecting half of the student population even with their 5 a stars

they haven’t responded lmao

[fiery linden]

they think of themselves as oxbridge/imperial type unis 😭

[teal rivet]

but they sent a scholarship email

[unkempt drift]

oh that's wonderful news. unfortunately tripped in the finish line for oxbridge but am waiting to see if LSE comes out fine

[tidal gale]

ay yo congos nice

[valid crater]

omg congrats

[teal rivet]

I messed up the interview

[tidal gale]

i messed up my mat

[teal rivet]

Idk how I got in but the context was good Ig and suppercurriculars? Mat score was decent

[unkempt drift]

i think that's relative because my mate who got in also said the same thing but it clearly was enough for him in the end

[tidal gale]

i didnt get even get an interview from oxford OR imperial which is just disappointing af

[teal rivet]

what is ur education system

[tidal gale]

just waiting for dat imperial rejection now

[teal rivet]

And what were ur grades

[unkempt drift]

imperial interviews can be a lot more decisive. if you get one, you're quite likely to get in

is my understanding, i didn't apply but yea

[tidal gale]

india(isc) and 98% predicted and 10th grade 98% too

[teal rivet]

Yeah it’s more on the test

[teal rivet]

THATS CRAZY 💀

wth Oxford is so stupid

[fiery linden]

i already got rejected from imperial, 1 week after giving my aero/eee mat exam 😭💀

[tidal gale]

yeah but its lowkey disappointing for not getting interview

[tidal gale]

the thing is my course is jmc AND IT DOESNT EVEN NEED MAT

[unkempt drift]

tbf i think they hold Indian students to a much higher standard

[tidal gale]

i genuinely dont know what i screwed up

like they just hate me so they can suck it atp

[unkempt drift]

because you have soo many students who score 95%+ and the quality of the courses are not held equivalently

but yes

[fiery linden]

did you apply to gtech for math @tidal gale

[unkempt drift]

it's really unfair

[tidal gale]

ye rejected

[tidal gale]

yeah guess so but no interview with 98 is abysmal

[unkempt drift]

lot has to do with the entrance test right

[fiery linden]

damn, i thought getting in for math would be atleast more doable

[unkempt drift]

works that way for my course with the TSA

[tidal gale]

my imperial test went very well

[tidal gale]

yeah

[unkempt drift]

oh? then i can't quite work out why you've not got an interview. again im not really familiar with how it works there

[tidal gale]

same its just bad luck maybe

uk is done for me at this point

[unkempt drift]

mhm yea i guess. maybe something relating to the Personal Statement?

[tidal gale]

i did get in for warwick maths, but that isnt too selective is it

[unkempt drift]

not really worth digging deep into it though

[unkempt drift]

i've heard it's pretty prestigious but idrk

[tidal gale]

my counsellor was cool with mine so idrk and dont wanna atp

[unkempt drift]

they do nitpick quite a bit with that for LSE

[tidal gale]

yeah ranking wise its high but its very theory centered whereas i want more towards the applied side of it

[unkempt drift]

very often their reason (even if it's automated at that point) is PS for rejecting

[tidal gale]

UK disappointed me smh

[tidal gale]

uh huh

[limber cipher]

wait do any of the UCs have decision letters or is it all email

[naive pivot]

everyone other than ucsc, ucr, ucm is on the applicant portals and not an email

[limber cipher]

okay okay

[gentle wyvern]

Wait I was instate and never received a residency email

Is it fine or no

I heard ucsd and ucsc sent out emails abt residency

But I made sure on my app I wrote residency at california

[subtle acorn]

i didn’t get it either

should be fine

i’m also instate

[gentle wyvern]

Alr ty

My friend just asked me if I ever got emails like this and I didn’t

[hollow beacon]

.

[edgy coral]

Anybody not get ucsc yet?

[nova bridge]

Me

[coarse dock]

i didn't get ucsc decision either

[honest vine]

me too

[rustic agate]

it's random I think

or maybe for those of us who aren't U.S. Citizens

I got one back when I applied and all it asked for was a scan of my green card

[gentle wyvern]

Ah alr

[silver pendant]

mf fanon?

piqs aren't meant to be flowery essays

they are questions to which you should provide an adequate answer

[agile wedge]

so like if you just went straight in and answered with limited nuance that would have been ideal?

[tardy frost]

does anyone know the oos acceptance rate for ucsd?

also the cs acceptance rate?

[rustic agate]

this is unknown

[lofty marsh]

Wretched of the earth type shit bruh

[hushed terrace]

31.83% for fall 2023

7623 acceptances out of 23951 oos applicants

[nova bridge]

guys UC riverside or neu for engineering

chemical if it amtters

[limpid goblet]

personally neu but depends on whether u can afford neu if ur oos

or just afford in general

for either

[nova bridge]

my parents say they'll pay either way

im in state for uc

[gentle wyvern]

Here’s the thing. Really depends. A lot can factor in, especially financial aid and stuff like that. But disregarding that I’d say NEU. neu has the best co op program

And tbh their program to me sounds far better

[nova bridge]

yeah its like i feel like im "supposed" to want to go to a uc

[gentle wyvern]

What’s the reason behind that

If financial aid is an issue, I’d say ucs tbh

And if u are on the pre med track, idk but UCR is still good

[nova bridge]

ive been in the bay area my whole life

[agile wedge]

yes

[nova bridge]

and the ucs are cheaper than private state schools but so many people i know go to ucs and i feel like it'll feel very similar to where i've lived my whole life

[agile wedge]

ucr is good for the pre-med track

[nova bridge]

boston would be pretty different

[nova bridge]

im doing chemical engineering

not premed

and financial isnt really an issue, ym parents are paying either way, but if i get into a good uc i'll feel bad for picking northeastern over like. davis if i miraculously get in

[limpid goblet]

neu prolly has better opportunities

[nova bridge]

what like

uc would i have to get into

[agile wedge]

id say look into NEU's overcrowding but it seems to be the better school

[nova bridge]

for it to be better than neu

[nova bridge]

the ucs also seem pretty overcrowded

and im going to nuin first sem anyway

but what uc woud be worth picking over neu

my cc says my only chances are at riverside and santa cruz (didnt apply merced)

anything else is extreme reach

[agile wedge]

i mean it depends where you're applying from and with what

and i have seen CCs be wrong before

[nova bridge]

2nd most competitive school arguably in bay

my schools average admitted from merced is higher than my uc gpa

[agile wedge]

holy fucking shit

[nova bridge]

arguably

but in the top 5- top 10 no doubt

[agile wedge]

what in da fuck

[nova bridge]

3.85 for me, 3.9 something for merced

lol

[gentle wyvern]

I heard ucb has a really really good chemeng program

[hollow beacon]

did anything come out or what

[nova bridge]

i am NOT getting into ucb with a 3.85 lmfaooo

[nova bridge]

riverside merced

some of santa cruz

[agile wedge]

what about the ECs

[hollow beacon]

no like sd davis sb la or irvine

[agile wedge]

grades are a factor but the ECs could help

[hollow beacon]

none of those?

[gentle wyvern]

Two weeks

Just wait

[hollow beacon]

im too broke for ucs anyway

77k oos coa is wild

dont even know why i applied

[nova bridge]

ok not amazing

[agile wedge]

damn

i mean miracles happen i guess man

and if you got NEU thats quite a W

[hushed terrace]

do you have any extenuating circumstances that affected your grades?

[agile wedge]

^

that

my grades aint amazing but extenuating circumstances give me a shot

maybe will do the same for you

[hushed terrace]

yeah gpa without context is practically useless

[agile wedge]

im pretty cool with my gpa in the context i notified the UCs about

maybe i have like a shot at davis

[hushed terrace]

ooh that’s good!

good luck 🤞🏼

[nova bridge]

yeah

but it was after freshman year

also i dont get to take aps in sophmore or freshman year

also in 11th my only bs were in weighted classes

so upward trend

[nova bridge]

3.38 uw oop

1560 sat

[hushed terrace]

does your school offer aps in soph or fresh year?

[nova bridge]

no

not when i was in those grades

theyve started offering one or two last year

[hushed terrace]

uc’s love upward trend

oh then it’s fine cuz they see your course offerings

[nova bridge]

yeah

[agile wedge]

ah i see

[nova bridge]

but still compared to my school i suck

i wish ucs took sat

[hushed terrace]

but you had extenuating circumstances to explain your grades tho right

those explanations help

[torpid radish]

with a 4.33 weights and 3.8 uw, what ucs does that fit into the student profile

4.07 UC GPA though

is it just UCR ?

[agile wedge]

im like mildly proud of this upward trajectory

in the terms of my context

[hushed terrace]

depends on the school you go to

[torpid radish]

hmm its slightly above avg , but its public

[gentle wyvern]

Check ur schools naviance or data

[torpid radish]

we dont have one

[gentle wyvern]

It’s honestly the only way to tell

[hushed terrace]

check your schools uc admit data online

it’s available for p much all public ca high schools

[nova bridge]

i went 2.8 > 3 > 3.7 > 3.5 > 3.6 > 3.67 > 3.7

un weighted

[torpid radish]

ya damn im cooked

everything else was 4.33-4.2 UC GPA

[lofty marsh]

how do you see this

[agile wedge]

i had to calculate it on my own

cause i was shocked i was top 9%

[lofty marsh]

no I mean

What website did you use

[agile wedge]

https://gpacalculator.net/high-school-gpa-calculator/

[runic hawk]

paly, gunn, etc?

[nova bridge]

sorta

[runic hawk]

damn

[honest vine]

whats paly

ive heard of gunn and msj and cupertino

[limpid goblet]

damn no lynbrook?

thought lynbrook was up there

[lofty marsh]

lynbrook is mid

[heady cobalt]

I beg to differ

[agile wedge]

yall bay area students got it hard

if i was up there youd catch me kissing my chances at even riverside goodbye

[heady cobalt]

fr I didn’t chooose the Bay Area

it chose me💀

[lofty marsh]

It is mid in that its students are of comparable quality with other Bay Area schools

[hollow beacon]

bay area students are rich as hell

[lofty marsh]

The school may be good but like they're american hs, albany hs, irvington hs tier

Not msj or mountain view tier

[agile wedge]

looking over at the bay area students im just like "damn that looks like a yikes"

[runic hawk]

palo alto

[runic hawk]

lynbrook and cupertino are up there together
