Imagine UCLA ED

valid crater
#

uc's should have ea

#

like all of them

#

so that you can ea to the top uc's and only apply to others if you dont get in

#

im pretty sure at least like 60% of the kids in bay area do all the uc's because they're worried they wont get in anywhere

valid crater
sullen sage
#

all ucs should charge OOS applicants 400k a quarter

valid crater
#

i feel bad for your parents' wallet

valid crater
sullen sage
#

when oos applicants shit on merced like ok bro its not for u

hidden cedar
#

can confirm

hidden cedar
#

it snot like ur doing mroe work?

subtle acorn
#

not just merced, but ppl also shit on riverside and sc โ˜ ๏ธ

hidden cedar
#

i thin kur logic is super flawed

#

why would u just ea one or two

hidden cedar
#

sc is not

#

scs actually decent

valid crater
#

dont

hidden cedar
#

i havent even gotten my sc decision bruh

#

am i cooked/

subtle acorn
#

i havent gotten sc either man

hidden cedar
#

(im cooked)

subtle acorn
#

but its fine if they dont want me meltingsob

valid crater
#

but since uc's have only one deadline, i didnt know where i'd get in and stuff

#

true

#

i just think it'd be better if all uc's had ea

hidden cedar
#

why does it make a differnce

#

theres no difference in application fee eihter?

valid crater
#

i mean if you're applying to like 5/8 you probably wanna go to all of them

hushed terrace

FR

fiery linden
#

Iโ€™ll only go to a uc if itโ€™s ucla or cal and maybe ucsd, otherwise it ainโ€™t worth it

#

For engineering at least

#

Yeah

hushed terrace
#

exaaaactly i just had to make my app catered to berkeley's values without explicity mentioning them

sullen sage
#

@valid crater sorry ๐Ÿ™‡โ€โ™‚๏ธ

hushed terrace
#

yup ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

legit could have a 50 word limit ill take it

#

cuz i feel like the admissions readers dont know abt very specific opportunities at their respective uc

#

but like i can clearly identify opportunities at their schools that correlate w my activities

valid crater
valid crater
hushed terrace
valid crater
#

(also what club)

#

again, i feel like you can write about that experience in an essay

#

maybe its me but i just feel like most why college essays are pretty generic and dont contribute that much to an application

#

just because the school as a whole isnt seen as "work hard play hard" doesn't mean you can't write about it

#

there will be a LOT of different kinds of people at a university and there will definitely be work hard play hard people at every UC

#

the UC app is designed to gauge the kind of person you are

yeah clearly the kind of person I am is not the kind of person UCI wants LMAO

jade quiver

I think Iโ€™m too Asian for uci

eager phoenix

Not sure

Maybe it was a major thing too

eager phoenix

That's fair yeah

hushed terrace

eager phoenix

Stanford isnโ€™t that bad for partying either

hidden cedar
#

stanford parties r fire

eager phoenix
#

Maybe money?

hushed terrace
eager phoenix
#

Stanford is a good few times the price of SB if you don't get much aid

jade quiver
#

Only downside of Berkeley is that there are a lot of them (physically and literally)

jade quiver
eager phoenix
#

Well if they are in state its quite a few times

valid crater
#

is SB more partying or LA

hidden cedar
#

sb is THE party school

eager phoenix
#

SB probably

#

SB is ranked #1 for party school

jade quiver
#

UC Davis = bike school, Berkeley = scooter school

valid crater
#

damn

#

i thought LA ws partying

valid crater
#

but i have a bike :3

eager phoenix
jade quiver
#

La still does a lot

valid crater
jade quiver
#

Caltech students usually go to usc or ucla for the parties for obvious reasons

hidden cedar
#

caltech students dont go anywhere

#

ur wrong

eager phoenix
jade quiver
#

They go places once every 5 months or so

jade quiver
eager phoenix

"I will shower next week"

jade quiver
#

Caltech students taking their bi-monthly shower

eager phoenix
#

Lmao yeah

eager phoenix

#

Thatโ€™s probably the only free time they get tbh

eager phoenix
#

CalTech and MIT always get clowned on so much ๐Ÿ˜ญ

jade quiver
eager phoenix
#

Both with their funny beaver mascot

jade quiver
#

I think caltech is the most clowned on

eager phoenix
#

I heard MIT host good parties actually

eager phoenix
jade quiver
#

Yeah MIT frats are actually crazy

jade quiver
valid crater
#

bro speaking of caltech

jade quiver
#

People at caltech thinking mit acknowledges their existence

eager phoenix
#

Lmao there is people thinking CalTech is part of the CSU system

jade quiver
valid crater
#

im doing ap us history now and learning about how french and dutch people came to america for furs and how beavers were hunted for their pelts and my first thought was oh caltech ๐Ÿ’€ i spend way too much time in a2c

jade quiver
#

Love that

eager phoenix
#

CalTech and MIT both have beaver

jade quiver
#

Yeah idk if thatโ€™s intentional or not

eager phoenix
#

But Tim the Beaver from MIT win in every aspect

eager phoenix
valid crater
#

yeah but MIT beaver's Tim is cool

jade quiver
#

Great engineers turn a bug into a feature

eager phoenix
#

CalTech should've do the decision release on pi day at 2pi pm PST too

GO BANANA SLUGS

do Caltech have sports team

jade quiver
#

Trojans might win ngl

jade quiver
#

Not really

#

They do have a basketball team (d3)

eager phoenix
#

Lmao

#

MIT sports isn't that great either

jade quiver
#

But their emphasis on sports is nonexistent

#

Yeah but better than caltech

eager phoenix
jade quiver
#

Caltech has literally never won a single basketball game until recently

#

Theyโ€™re like 1-200 or something

eager phoenix
# eager phoenix

This the type of thing getting beat up in old Holleywood HS movies

eager phoenix
#

Its the first recommendation on google ๐Ÿ˜ญ ๐Ÿ’€

jade quiver
#

Iโ€™d assume caltech point guard probably finds the cross product of someoneโ€™s ankles

jade quiver
# eager phoenix

Yeah caltech isnโ€™t known for anything other than academia really

#

Pretty sure they do homework in the bench too

eager phoenix
#

Ok so in 2007, 31 alumni and faculty won the nobel prize but their baskjetball team only won once in 1985

eager phoenix
jade quiver
#

46-45

#

Lol

eager phoenix
#

LMAO

#

That was the 2011 one right?

#

They won one more time in 1985

Apprantly in 1930-40 CalTech was THE sports school in socal

if i had to guess somewhere between 4.3-4.4 for capped

exotic finch
#

me out here with my 3.9 capped

random saffron
#

i've heard that ucla and berkeley look at uncapped as well so if ur uncapped is good u prob chilling

#

they also consider ur gpa within ur school's context so

exotic finch
#

my school's average admitted capped is a 4.21 to most schools and a 4.25 to ucla

random saffron
#

damn unfortunate

#

still got a chance tho

#

ik someone who got in with a 3.08 unweighted

#

3.4 weighted but not uc wgpa

humble nova
random saffron

capped means they only consider max 8 ap/honors/ib classes in gpa calculation for 10-11 grades

they don't accept all honors only uc-approved ones

you're gonna be evaluated in the context of your school's offerings and what other students took in comparison to u

gentle wyvern
#

If I applied for letter and sci for ucla, I would be compared against kids within letter and sci and not by major correct?

misty bough
#

yea

#

not by major

gentle wyvern
#

So do they neglect looking at that specific major?

misty bough
#

yes

#

unless its engineering or whatever else

#

then they admit by major

gentle wyvern
#

So is there a cap to a major for letter and science

random saffron
#

no

gentle wyvern

Like amount it can hold

humble nova

Oh W

gentle wyvern

Ok Ty

random saffron

actually for impacted majors yes i think

like psych

humble nova

UCLA bio accept me !!!

misty bough

rip i applied bioeng

random saffron

i think psych is impacted

humble nova

bio im unsure

gentle wyvern
#

Is cs+ling?

random saffron
#

cs ling isn't impacted

gentle wyvern
random saffron
#

yea u can switch to it whenever

#

just make sure u have a 2.5 (or 2.0 i forgot) gpa and finish the prereqs

#

which is the cs 30 series and ling 20 and whatever math they assign

humble nova
gentle wyvern
#

Are less impacted major like could they have lower expectation in terms of gpa

#

Expectations was not the right word

misty bough
#

like what major

gentle wyvern
#

But average

random saffron
#

maybe but if ur ECs and courses don't back up ur major choice then they're gonna know you're trying to finesse

is it in lsa?

Each
campus did choose to give extra consideration to ELC students in its selection process.
Consequently, ELC applicants were admitted at a higher rate than other students. For
example, 73.9% of ELC-eligible applicants were admitted to Berkeley (including spring
admits) while other California applicants were admitted (including spring admits) at a
6
26.1% rate. In the case of UC Irvine, all ELC applicants who met their chosen major
entry requirements were admitted, yielding an ELC admit rate of 98.6%, compared to a
non-ELC admit rate of 53.0%

typically those with higher gpas are more likely to have ELC, and those with higehr gpas also are admitted typically to LA and berk
