https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/

[lofty marsh]

nah, I'd get cooked

[random saffron]

4.42 is crazy

ur school must be cracked

[lofty marsh]

or grade inflation for APs is crazy

I've heard that schools give out 2 weighted for them and 1 for honors

[steel matrix]

THAT IS INSANE

[hushed terrace]

we have grade deflation 💀💀 a lotta ppl just focus way more on school than ec's

[steel matrix]

Bro at my school AP/Honors are 5.0

[charred dune]

uc berkeley regents or ucla

[steel matrix]

So I have a 4.6 rn even though I have 8 Bs on the transcript

[royal steppe]

Berkeley regents

[steel matrix]

But that's a 3.8 UW actually

[random saffron]

berkeley

[charred dune]

wth rlly

why

[twilit escarp]

💀

[royal steppe]

and it would be less rn if they counted senior grades cuz i have one B

[random saffron]

ucs use uc gpa for admission

[steel matrix]

i might be insane but i'd do ucla

UCLA would be more convenient for me

[random saffron]

4.33 is not bad in the context of ur school seems like

[steel matrix]

i'd love to just come home on weekends and sleep in my own bed or have dinner w my parents

[royal steppe]

RIP

[random saffron]

[humble nova]

For some makes

[humble nova]

[steel matrix]

what is grade deflation? i never understood this

[random saffron]

yea i'd say berk

[humble nova]

Tbf you don’t need to go to a big school for it

[random saffron]

like ruby said

[charred dune]

ah i see

thank you!!!

[random saffron]

silicon valley proximity is nice

[charred dune]

i got into 3 of my uc’s so far

[hushed terrace]

wait did you get into berk early

[steel matrix]

One thing i'll give berkeley is that Silicon Valley is SICK

[charred dune]

just waiting on ucla and ucsd now

[humble nova]

She went to college in India for biotech 😭 and switched her job after doing cc certificates and now she’s in Silicon Valley

[charred dune]

[charred dune]

[steel matrix]

[steel matrix]

Don't say they're already out NO THEYRE NOT

[charred dune]

that’s what my friends email said

[humble nova]

I want to either be a veterinarian or interventional radiologist

[charred dune]

[steel matrix]

[humble nova]

Specialty of the month

[charred dune]

[twilit escarp]

[steel matrix]

i've wanted to be a neurosurgeon for so long

[humble nova]

LOL bro will be way richer than me in our 20s

[charred dune]

they’re going by like

last name……

iirc

[humble nova]

Should I hit the withdraw button

[charred dune]

i didn’t apply to ucsc so i’m not sure sorry 😭

[humble nova]

You and everyone who wants to go to med 😭

[gentle wyvern]

Yup they did send an email

[steel matrix]

bro i'm actually the only person at my hs

[humble nova]

Ik sooo many neurosurgeon wannabes

I’m ngl neurology is nice on paper but so depressing irl

[random saffron]

i could not do med school if my life depended on it

[humble nova]

Their whole department is not it

[steel matrix]

yeah well we'll see what happens but i think it' sa sick

yeah ik it's stressful

[humble nova]

Me w cs

[charred dune]

how do u like it there at ucla so far

[steel matrix]

i like the stress and fast paced job

[humble nova]

Well not that

It’s like

[charred dune]

oh how’s the quarter system…..

[random saffron]

pretty nice

i actually like the quarter system

cuz time flies by

[charred dune]

wait the quarter system terrifies me

😭😭😭😭

[random saffron]

if u learn fast you'll be ok

[twilit escarp]

that would be hilarious

[humble nova]

Very isolationist and not welcoming at all 😭 like depressing asf + everything is very cold (vibe wise)

[steel matrix]

Political science major or English major for Pre-Law? we were debating with our AP lit teacher over this she was saying English major is way more useful (she's biased)

[humble nova]

Like other departments I feel like are very collaborative and welcoming but I didn’t get that from neurology

[random saffron]

the second half of each quarter is just pure studying tho cuz u have 2 midterms and a final for most classes

[charred dune]

no way

[humble nova]

Yikes

[charred dune]

i wouldn’t survive

😭

[humble nova]

Berk is on sem system!

[charred dune]

yaaaa

[humble nova]

I can’t go to Berk

[charred dune]

why?

[humble nova]

Cannot deal with 4 more years of Bay Area allergies

It’s so bad

[random saffron]

the finals are honestly easy cuz it's stuff from 10 weeks ago so i still remember everything even with little studying

[humble nova]

They’ve already started

[charred dune]

wait i’m from the bay too

i need to leave

LMMMMFAOOOOO

[lofty marsh]

Should I have gone to a private hs? I am in a public one rn and I'm thinking that maybe I am not the strongest canditate for this reason for UCs

[humble nova]

Yeah I feel like I’d be way better off w the quarter system bc I cram

[steel matrix]

bro the UCs favor public high schools

[random saffron]

yea if you're a crammer you'd be fine for most exams on a quarter system

[charred dune]

but then they gave me a chance at regents and admitted me early so i was gagged 😭

[humble nova]

The private schools in my area are way better than public

[charred dune]

same

[lofty marsh]

yeah this is why I'm wondering

[humble nova]

The pollen count is alr so high im dying

[steel matrix]

my friend went to a private school for 3 years and transferred to my public for senior year JUST to get a leg up in admissions

[humble nova]

I just need 2-3 days fr

[random saffron]

no if u look at that link i sent earlier, most private schools have average/low UC acceptance rates

[steel matrix]

and it worked bruh he got into Davis and Irvine for business and he's not even an academic weapon

[random saffron]

higher for public typically

[humble nova]

I’m a really strong candidate from my trashy public school but that wouldn’t necessarily be true at private ones

[hushed terrace]

wait how does that work like do ao's compare them to the priv school or public school

[humble nova]

Cause most private kids like going to private colleges

[random saffron]

i have friends who went to private school and most ended up at top LACs

[humble nova]

It’s harder to adjust

[random saffron]

i do the same

[steel matrix]

I'm assuming both, but my public school offers hella APs and the kids at my school take more APs each year than the private school. When he was at his private last year he took 3 APs and said that was really high for his hs, but at my public school taking 3 APs in one year is super normal and people go up to 6 APs in a single year (what i'm doing rn)

[humble nova]

Lowkey was scared of the quarter system but this makes it feel a lot better

[random saffron]

it's definitely an adjustment

but after your first quarter you learn a lot

[hushed terrace]

ohhh

[humble nova]

That’s valid

[random saffron]

im on my second qtr rn and i learned enough to manage now

im scoring hella above the median for all my exams now

last qtr tho... 💀

[humble nova]

WWW 😁

[limpid goblet]

wait wahts the difference between quarter and semester system

sorta forgor

[random saffron]

semester system = 2 terms

quarter = 3 terms

[limpid goblet]

woah

[random saffron]

4 if u consider summer

[limpid goblet]

no

lmao

damn bro

quarter is harder then, no?

same content shorter amnt of time

[random saffron]

it depends on what you're strong at

if you're able to learn quickly and you're a crammer when studying

quarter system is prob best for u

[limpid goblet]

apparently my school preps us for college by putting gov/macro and both ap physics C's in one year

[random saffron]

semester system is slower but you're gonna have to recall things from many weeks ago for the final exams

[limpid goblet]

so gov in one sem macro the other, same w theo ther physics

[limpid goblet]

me when i cram everything the nightbefore

fr

[random saffron]

same

if any of u guys commit to ucla and have to take math courses

if jukka keranen is available then take him

bro is the goat

i will be shocked if i have a better prof than him in the future

[agile wedge]

We send more to SD than to Irvine

Irvine takes like 12

SD takes 25

[limpid goblet]

man

my ahh forgetting sb doesnt offer aero

so i can only count on sd now

[random saffron]

damn

[charred dune]

my schools like

a rlly crappy public school

we send davis most

ucsd and ucla least

berk irvine ucsc in between

[granite dirge]

berk in between?

[random saffron]

berk accepted like 30% of applicants from my hs for the class of 2022

which is odd

other years it's been around 10%

[pale ivy]

can i change my civil engineering major from uci to economics? if so, how?

[random saffron]

i assume u got accepted

if so then yes u can change it but idk how

every uc has a diff process

[pale ivy]

yeaa although i thought about it and realized that civil engineering is different than industrial engineering so i dont want it anymore

[random saffron]

fair

i'd google "change of major uci"

[pale ivy]

alr thanks so muchh

[random saffron]

np

[granite dirge]

yoo another econ kid

lets go

[pallid crater]

Another Civil Engineer interested in Economics 👀

Yeah it's possible to change your major once you enroll

Shouldn't be too hard to change majors since you're not going into CS

[pale ivy]

Ahahaha

[pale ivy]

Speaking of CS about 13 kids from my school got into UCI just one who got waitlisted and they applied for cs

so makes sense to never apply cs so harddd

I’m surprised 13 were accepted tho we’re a random school in the Middle East💀

[pallid crater]

Crazy

[pallid crater]

UCs love international students tbh

It's harder to get in in-state than OOS or International

[pale ivy]

That’s bs and unfair wtf

Californians should have priority

[granite dirge]

we do

[pallid crater]

It's counterbalanced by international and OOS kids getting no aid 💀

[granite dirge]

lower tuition

[pallid crater]

UCs like international and OOS kids because it helps them fill their budget gaps

[pale ivy]

Well in my country’s case our tuition is fully covered by the goverment that’s why poor folks apply no aid despite being low income

Ig that’s why UCs accepted us oops😂

[pale ivy]

Trueeee

[pallid crater]

Kinda annoying that the state doesn't have the budgets for the UCs and CSUs on higher priority tho 😭

[pale ivy]

agreeed

[pallid crater]

Actual W for your government tbh

[pale ivy]

fr fr really grateful everything is covered plus a monthly salary win for us and win for colleges who get tuition payed on time ahahah

[acoustic ibex]

i need to move there

[pale ivy]

comeee hereee👀👀

anxious for ucla and cal tho I’m surprised UCI dropped results I thought it was on the 17th it was so sudden

[pallid crater]

UC Irvine stole the spotlight from UC Davis smh smh

Seriously though kinda scary UCLA and UCSD are probably coming in five days

[pale ivy]

I heard Davis had weird admissions this year

[granite dirge]

im 0-1 so far

[granite dirge]

davis and irvine

[pale ivy]

like half of the kids at my school who got into UCI got into Davis the other half got flat out rejected 😂😂

[pallid crater]

Nah nah I haven't heard many people complain about Davis' shenanigans

Now, Irvine

[pale ivy]

Admissions has been odd this year

[pallid crater]

Irvine is on smth

[subtle acorn]

irvine was truly wildin this year

[pale ivy]

fr fr u should’ve gotten in i remember you applied to met

Which I got the video for but didn’t end up making the Final Cut 💀

irvine AOs were ⚡️📈 on something 😂

[granite dirge]

i didnt even bother applying to irvine

[pale ivy]

I just love the oc vibe tbh and close to Disney

so was like might as well apply 😂

Just Incase cal and ucla don’t go well

[granite dirge]

ngl i thought it was for people who didnt get into ucla or just didnt have confidence

[royal steppe]

i get that but i wish instate was more priority tbh

i want UCSD lol

[pale ivy]

in the case of people from my school and area they view Irvine as sort of a target and a worst case scenario in case berk or ucla don’t go well

[granite dirge]

same

[granite dirge]

san diego and santa barbara exists

[pale ivy]

nahh they just applied to cal UCI and ucla

[balmy laurel]

do uci and ucd send acceptance packages

[ivory nimbus]

Evil gang 😈Evil gang 😈

[limber cipher]

UCI as a worst case scenario is crazy

[subtle acorn]

not even ucsd??

[humble nova]

Is UCI not a target

I had UCI, ucsd, ucsb, and ucd listed as targets

[humble nova]

Hope so

I want a legit acceptance packet not rutgers’ stickers 😭

[ivory nimbus]

Evil Gang

[ivory nimbus]

Why dont i get their stickers

thats evil

[balmy laurel]

i saw a reddit post from last year that says all they got was the acceptance letter in paper form

no sticker either 💀

[humble nova]

😭 idk

[humble nova]

Bro

Even Rutgers one uped them ig

[ivory nimbus]

Evil gang 😈

[pale ivy]

Nah😂

[pale ivy]

It is a target but a safety in the eyes of many at my school

[humble nova]

Safety is crazy

[rancid apex]

Can u even call it a target anymore

[hushed terrace]

safety is crazy

[rancid apex]

Its acceptance rate is the same as ucla aroynd 5 years ago

10

Bro time flies

[sullen sage]

uci probably a target for you out of state fools

[rancid apex]

How did ucla drop 10 percent in 5 years

Do they accept more out of state?

[hushed terrace]

ucla doesnt but uci does

[rancid apex]

Why bruh

Tuition?

[sullen sage]

more money

[hushed terrace]

not more oos students necessarily but higher acceptance rate for oos

cuz they know yield for oos is low

[rancid apex]

Oh

[hushed terrace]

so they needa overadmit to ensure they can still get a sufficient amt of oos students

to get that more money from them

[rancid apex]

I see

But for in state

Uci is dissapearing

[acoustic ibex]

i think a big reason their acceptance rate has dropped so much is that they just have an insane amount of applications nowadays

[pallid crater]

20% acceptance rate is crazy

[pallid crater]

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-03-06/uc-applications-rise-for-fall-2024-with-gains-in-diversity-and-transfer-applicants

UCLA alone has nearly 150k first year applicants

😭

[gentle wyvern]

[acoustic ibex]

[gentle wyvern]

[humble nova]

☹️

[humble nova]

They did

[gentle wyvern]

why is everyone so greedy? just stay put! socal is mine!

[acoustic ibex]

i would not be surprised if ucla is the first college to officially limit their applications

[pallid crater]

So real as someone who lives within like 30 minutes from UCLA I claim UCLA as my territory

[undone tendon]

they do ! newsom passed a bill to give more funding to the uc/csu system so more in state kids could get in :D

[pallid crater]

Based

[gentle wyvern]

jhu had such a W package. i luv harvard and in general the private school acceptance package, like u could get a shirt, hat, a bag, etc, more than just stickers

[gentle wyvern]

ya its growing fast. soon its gunna hit 200k

[humble nova]

exactly I hope I get into one of my reaches just for that

[limpid goblet]

LMAO WHAT

[undone tendon]

it's true ! they gave 215 mill to uc and 227 mill to csu (idk if u were questioning my statement i did not fully understand the tone apologies)

[hushed terrace]

[pallid crater]

[novel cave]

hey guys what do we think about instating legacy for ucs

[steel matrix]

all they have are basketball games where is the football

Best idea ever and we should discriminate against low income students. Make minimum income to attend 100k a year

I think that would be a good idea

What do you guys think

[tired olive]

?!

[agile wedge]

Allow people to pay to go to UCLA like they do at USC

[pallid crater]

Oh hell nah I heard of this one story where a Qatari prince tried doing that with UCLA

But went to USC instead after getting rebuffed by UCLA

[humble nova]

why do you want to pay like 80k for college a year 💀 anyways

[topaz glacier]

exactly

[humble nova]

[frank cedar]

same laws why UT isn't higher

bruh yield rate for oos at ucla went up so much recently

[main notch]

hey mine too xD

[main notch]

w laws

[agile wedge]

WHAT

[undone tendon]

uci is reallt cool ! ive been ignoring everyone n just thinking ab myself when considering lol

[tough lark]

cost of living and taxes increased in CA be 150% in the last 2 years

have you seen the damn gas prices we have to pay?

[undone tendon]

fr

[tough lark]

like yes I would love them to give oos more spots

[undone tendon]

below $5 gas is a unicorn for me

[limpid goblet]

howd i get pinged in two diff threads at the exact same time damn

[tough lark]

but this is like giving taxpayer dollars to foreign countries

(Oh wait we do that every fucking day)

[frank cedar]

but UC get money from fed gov too

[tough lark]

yk who the Fed Gov gets money from?

California....

[frank cedar]

12% ya

[tough lark]

Truly

[frank cedar]

UC gets the least money from california out of the 3 systems

oh so they increase tuition

[tough lark]

That's cause they started the earliest

and have donors

and they also built a nuke

we don't talk about that thov

But I mean if you think that UCs are unfair towards oos y'all could just apply to Stanford

they treat us equally there, like how they all profits

[frank cedar]

dont worry already rejected

[tough lark]

I wish you the best of luck for USC

[teal coral]

csu, ucs, and ccc...?

whats the third system

[frank cedar]

ccc

[tough lark]

you just named all 3

[teal coral]

oh gotcha

no way cccs get more than ucs

[tough lark]

I honestly love the CC system

[frank cedar]

they get like 3x more

they have to right

they don't make much tuition, and they educate a ton of people

[tough lark]

it's cause UCs sustain themselves

they have a tuition

CCs literally don't

[frank cedar]

really?

[tacit geode]

yeah cc is free

[frank cedar]

huh

this website says like $500 per semester

[teal coral]

most ccs are free

i know a few that are pretty pricey

[tough lark]

i'm a dual student

[teal coral]

college of the sequoias is like 2k a year for some programs

[frank cedar]

is that same when out of high school

[humble nova]

Do y'all think it's cringe to post on co'28 pages before committing

[tough lark]

basically CCs are free if you fit any of their like

[teal coral]

YES OH MY GOD

[tough lark]

75 criterias

[frank cedar]

but if you don't fit the 75 criterias, you gotta pay?

[tough lark]

yea

it's like 100$ per class tho

[humble nova]

ok cause I was considering it but I feel like it's so cringe yk

[teal coral]

well ok i know a bunch of ppl who do it....

and like

thank u for putting multiple schools like why??

[frank cedar]

UC gets so much money from medical centers damnn

[teal coral]

Irvine did somethin' goofy

Please do not refer to Berkeley as "UCB." This is not the proper way to refer to the University of California's original and flagship campus. Cal, Berkeley or UC Berkeley are all proper and acceptable ways to say it. UCB, on the other hand, is not. As the system's most prestigious and respected campus, we feel that it is important to honor and maintain an appropriate level of respect for our university's name. We feel that "UCB" cheapens our brand and doesn't emphasize the incredible prestige associated with Berkeley. While it may be acceptable to refer to all other UC campuses in initialisms due to their lack of recognition and prestige, this is not acceptable for the flagship and most well-known campus, and we therefore request that you cease using the name "UCB" to refer our school. Thank you.

i personally hate the university of california at irvine

no

what is this hate aginst Irvine lmao

[pallid crater]

UC Irvine gave me an L, therefore I am now a UC Irvine hater for the year of 2028

[woven urchin]

UCI was smart enough to Admit me so they are the best

[strong palm]

not smart enough to accept me tho

[hollow beacon]

UCI admitted me but they're still mid cuz its crazy expensive

[valid crater]

UCI waitlisted me but i still love them because they have my major <3

[hushed terrace]

exact same as my friend uci is the only uc that has a criminology major but she got wl

[valid crater]

UCI is the only UC with a journalism major rip

although that was before I discovered berkeley media studies

so now im chilling but still UCI had literary journalism 🥹

[hushed terrace]

yeah berk media studies sounds rlly cool

i didn't apply to it though because i didn't do my research and i thought media studies was like film

UCI has learned their lesson... so going on super aggressive on rejections/waitlists ... https://bonniekgoodman.medium.com/uc-irvine-rescinds-admission-offers-to-500-freshmen-because-of-over-enrollment-382d4ff117a3

Add that to mix that it has to get rid of its image as "safety school" for MIT/Harward/Top Ivy capable candidates...

[valid crater]

bro wtf

rescinding because of over enrollment???

[strong palm]

Tf

Isnt that because student have Ds or Fs?

[valid crater]

the article says a lot of the reasons were vague

[split swan]

I think that one C in my transcript is the reason I got rejected

[valid crater]

and some people got rescinded for "submitting transcripts late" even though they have proof they did it on time

[valid crater]

there's no benefit to overanalyzing your results and what could've been done, i know its easier said than done but try to put what's already happened behind you and be optimistic for the future <3

[karmic yoke]

right .... just keep your fingers crossed and hope your acceptances are good till you actually end up in college...

[valid crater]

berkeley confirmed march 28

[karmic yoke]

Math nerds ... solve.... If a UC gets 100,000 applications and each application takes 4 min to review... how many days will it take to review all applications? Assuming each reviewer has 10 hours a day (very optimistic).. How many reviewers would be needed to finish all apps in 3 month period?

[pseudo tiger]

Thats like 7.5

round it off to 8

[gentle pagoda]

but one application must be read by at least 2 people...

[agile wedge]

You need 400,000 minutes
There are 43,000 minutes in a month
Multiply by 3, 129,000 minutes in 3 months

I don’t know where to go from there

[pseudo tiger]

Each reviewer has 600 minutes in a day

54000 minutes in 3 months

therefore you need 7.5 to get to 400000 minutes

[gentle pagoda]

double that number

[gentle pagoda]

coz ^

[pseudo tiger]

ya so 15

[agile wedge]

so then how many reviewers does a UC normally have

[gentle pagoda]

15

[agile wedge]

Imagine being the poor soul who reads 6,600 apps per year

Now I feel bad for UC app reviewers besides the Irvine ones

[gentle pagoda]

and an application is considered for more than 4 minutes?

[agile wedge]

Fuck Irvine

[agile wedge]

hm

[pseudo tiger]

There's like no way💀

they got to have like 30 at least

[agile wedge]

I mean if there’s only 15 and you get 100k apps

[gentle pagoda]

yeah 10 hours is overly optimistic and thats assuming they work every holiday and weekend

[agile wedge]

yeah

[pseudo tiger]

ya but how do we know its 15

[agile wedge]

they don’t work Christmas

[gentle pagoda]

I am going to assume they have at least some sort of filter wall.
one of the best universities in the world, gotta have an AI system to filter out the worst of the worst applications at the very least

[pseudo tiger]

thats just an estimate, they would have more to reduce work time

[agile wedge]

I think so too because Berkeley flagged me like a day after submitting to send me a LoR request

[gentle pagoda]

interesting

I have a... relative from ucb but they never asked me for lor

[agile wedge]

Nobody got asked from my school for Berkeley LoRs

[gentle pagoda]

they fr be doing rng in the backend

[agile wedge]

They hit me up at the right time tho for LoRs

I sent them some decent ones

[valid crater]

uc's hire application readers

so they probably do an initial screening or something

and then they filter and the AOs read only the filtered ones

you never know though

[agile wedge]

What do you have to do to not make it through the filter

[valid crater]

maybe pretentious self-obsessed egoistic essays

maybe REALLY bad grades like <2.0 gpa with no special circumstances

maybe not filling out the activity section 💀

there's no way of knowing ngl

maybe when i become an app reader in 5 years ill tell yall

[agile wedge]

Imagine doing everything right, like good ECs, GPA, awards

just to write the most egotistical essays to grace the desk of an app reader

[karmic yoke]

Its difficult to imagine a gpa < 3 applying to UCs (atleast should not be many)... and spending about 300+ $... when they know their odds are low. Most of this applicants will be going non-UC routes.

[valid crater]

my friend put down his three words for brown as "boldly building bridges"

like bestie you're not an architect what bridges are you building

idk came across as pretentious to me

[valid crater]

oh yeah uc's have the minimum gpa to apply right? forgot about that

[acoustic ibex]

Oh yeah you can’t apply below 3

Never knew that

[valid crater]

3.4 for oos

[acoustic ibex]

I wouldn’t be surprised if they pushed it to 3.5 in state soon

[agile wedge]

If they did rip

cause ik people below that who get into UCs

[woven urchin]

The hate against Irvine is real

[limber cipher]

I love irvine

[woven urchin]

I love Irvine too

[strong palm]

my ugpa is 3.5~3.6?

and I got wl for irvine

[agile wedge]

Bruh ik 3.4 gpa students who did not deserve to get in but got in

most random ass shit ever

[gloomy igloo]

I think the no - and + saved me for my recalculated GPA

[limpid goblet]

what

the

flip

[agile wedge]

I KNOW

Most of the top students at my school didn’t get in

[halcyon galleon]

My UC GPA is above a 4.0 and I got rejected from Irvine lmao

[agile wedge]

But then some of the most random ass people did

I legitimately don’t get it

[halcyon galleon]

What are they smoking up there

[agile wedge]

I know 3.8 UC GPA students who made it bro

[teal coral]

its def not 15

[agile wedge]

Just…fuck Irvine bruh

I mean cool for taking students who wouldn’t get into top UCs otherwise

But damn

[gloomy igloo]

What were y’all’s class ranks?

[halcyon galleon]

[teal coral]

because we’re assuming that each reviewer is reading applications nonstop, while there is some down time between each application, and they need breaks

so i would say atleast 20 reviewers

[agile wedge]

27th and rejected
But UC GPA wise like top 13

[halcyon galleon]

No class ranks

[gloomy igloo]

My school doesn’t do specific numbers but in quintiles. So that makes me between the 20%-40% percentile of my class

But I feel like the reason I got accepted into uci is my writing. Not so much academics.

[valid crater]

Top 10%, we don't rank

[valid crater]

how is the rank different for uc gpa?

[agile wedge]

because 10-11th are counted for UC

but rank wise 9th - 12th

So by normal rank im like top 20% just barely

But UC GPA wise im like top 8% minimum

[valid crater]

ohhhhhhh

that makes sense

[topaz yoke]

what happened to luck

[jade quiver]

Uci thinks they’re caltech

[wary tangle]

So which is better for EE major, UCSB or UCI?

Did uci have better engineering schools?

[wary tangle]

UCI said they are having 147000 applicants this year??!

[craggy vault]

122K first years, that much with transfer

[woven urchin]

insanity

[teal coral]

that nullified some of the pain from getting rejected oddly enough

[subtle acorn]

yep

[hasty leaf]

if davis crashed with 98k apps, just imagine how LA's gonna be next week with 146k

[edgy pier]

It’s like everyone is using UCSD as a safety precaution against Berkeley or smth

[jade quiver]

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of UCSD being a safety 💀

[subtle acorn]

imo it’s likely because of location

[jade quiver]

I think overall ucsd just has a nicer campus than Berkeley

[subtle acorn]

that too fs

[runic hawk]

ucsd is soo big tho

[subtle acorn]

berk is notoriously unsafe 😭

[edgy pier]

Ah Idk anything about the UCs so

[jade quiver]

Because Berkeley reputation is ehh

[runic hawk]

heard ucsd is madd boring too

nothing going on

but i still rock wit it

[edgy pier]

Uc socially dead

[jade quiver]

Only reason why Berkeley is alive is because of protests

[edgy pier]

UCLA rejects

[upper mango]

Lol really

[jade quiver]

Campus looks good tho

[runic hawk]

nah my friends that go there stll have plenty of fun but they do complain a lot about the protests and the grading and the homeless tweakers everywhere

[pseudo tiger]

wait is this tru?

[runic hawk]

nah its some schedule 1 copium or somethn

[hollow beacon]

nah im just yapping

[jade quiver]

I do know someone who got waitlisted Davis, rejected uci but got Berkeley early

But take it with a grain of salt because it’s probably just d1 coping

[hollow beacon]

people be believing anything these days

[hollow beacon]

why tf would I cope tho

[runic hawk]

i know someone waitlisted uci got in caltech so i mean idk

its all so random

[jade quiver]

Yeah ik someone rejected uci and got in caltech

[upper mango]

Yeah theres always exceptions but the vast majority isnt like that

[simple locust]

this is why the UCs should have early action

[subtle acorn]

imagine if they did ED

oh man

☠️

[upper mango]

everyone would apply ea again

[subtle acorn]

but yea i don’t think EA would make a difference

[fallow stream]

Yeah not really

[upper mango]

I mean unless the deadline was like october

[simple locust]

or they could just do california residents early action

or the other way around

[hollow beacon]

ucd uci too expensive

[simple locust]

non cali early action

[karmic yoke]

Whatever process they follow.... maximum freshmen they can enroll are 6000 to 7000 for all above UCs.... So math does not work when 100K+ applicants are expecting positive results.

[hollow beacon]

fr

[jade quiver]

Would make more sense if in state had early

[hollow beacon]

non cali EA would be nice

[hollow beacon]

for what

[jade quiver]

Uc

[hollow beacon]

ik

but why

sounds stupid to me

[simple locust]

but then there wouldnt be spots for oos

bc all the in state would commit

[hollow beacon]

fr

oos and intl EA

[simple locust]

they should just take care of oos first

and then in state

let the instate fight

[hollow beacon]

yea

in state EA is a bad idea

[jade quiver]

Yeah I’m just saying if there was because I’m pretty sure cali has laws that prioritize in state students

[simple locust]

yeah

thats why

[hollow beacon]

every state does

[runic hawk]

kinda breaks the whole state schools serving their state thing tho?

[simple locust]

acceptance rate for oos would be signifncantly lower

like theretically if berkeley had 100 seats, oos EA would want to fill up like 10 seats

[jade quiver]

It is called the university of California system after all

[runic hawk]

as a cali resident i think that ucs should prioritize way more cali residents than oos

idk

cuz u know keep the talent in cali

[simple locust]

ideally this is prioritizing

90% of the seats is california

[fallow stream]

I agree but that’s not the case and won’t be the case for this year

[runic hawk]

tru

[jade quiver]

Idk if the same goes for gatech but they somewhat do the same thing

[acoustic ibex]

Uc system fell off

[runic hawk]

that seems fine ig

[simple locust]

gtch has both oos and in state early action

it doenst make a difference

[hasty bridge]

100%

[runic hawk]

but i feel like ucla and uc berkeley take a lot more oos?

idk

[hollow beacon]

ucs fell off anyway

[simple locust]

berkeley has mostly out of state

[jade quiver]

Of course Berkeley would

[simple locust]

la has roughly the same amount

[fallow stream]

And to be honest some of them deserve it more than in state students but I get it.

[hasty bridge]

but it's still a california state school

[runic hawk]

true but i mean they have their own state schools and other privates

[simple locust]

thats what cal state is for 😂

[acoustic ibex]

If you deserve to be at ucla you deserve to be in your best state school 🤷

[simple locust]

leave the UCs to us

[runic hawk]

yeah i kinda get it

i mean there should be some oos slots

[fallow stream]

Yeah I know and I’m a California resident but I feel like it is what it is

[hollow beacon]

you not paying cali state tax tho

[runic hawk]

attract talent to california

[hasty bridge]

no

[simple locust]

rip true

cost of living

[acoustic ibex]

I would cap oos at 5% ngl

[hasty bridge]

uc schools should be filled up by california students mostly

[acoustic ibex]

Because that’s still a ton with the amount of people enrolling

[simple locust]

i think it is 5% 😭

[jade quiver]

Yeah if you’re paying for taxes in cali then you’re basically funding those schools

[fallow stream]

That’s a good idea

[simple locust]

it is filled up

by cali students

[fallow stream]

Which is also true

[acoustic ibex]

Def not at some campuses 💀

[hasty bridge]

top UCs have so many out of state

[simple locust]

well berkeley has a big reputation to uphold

its not just a public school

its top 10 in the entire world

[fallow stream]

Yeah and it’s sad because I’ve lived here my whole life and my parents have paid taxes. But I mean nothing I can do about it

[simple locust]

ofc they want the diversity factor from other states

[acoustic ibex]

California has all the diversity you need

[simple locust]

and counitries for the matter

[hasty bridge]

agreed

[acoustic ibex]

Way too many people living here as it is

[simple locust]

yeah and u dont realize the rest of the united states

[fallow stream]

True we are pretty diverse

[simple locust]

dream to "live in california"

in-state students dont get it
