im on spring break so its a bit worse
yea 3 is pushin it, 1 is abt normal
usually for me its around 2 lmao
I'd do that during spring break if my parents let me
ok yea thats more accurat
technically i sleep at 1, but in actuality i overthink abt college apps and stuff in general, and push it to 1.45-2
real
spring break already??
I'm actually extremely anxious lol
cant stop the train of horrible thoughts before sleeping fr
yeah im on spring break rn
my spring break is actually going to be awful
i have a hosa conference
which sounds fun
but i have to fast the entire time
nah i know the freshmen + small school
who
am i even allowed to say full names in here
dm it tbh lmao
stewart calculus 5th edition
the second uci and ucd came out it was gg
Alas, we use Stewart's book
i hate that stupid stewart book
iโve heard these names before
My Calc III teacher does sometimes pull out his ancient calc iii books to give us hw tho
so many tears spilled over it ๐ญ
my sisters in that grade
lmaoaoa
this is a shitpost p vs np is unsolved LMFAO
thank god ill never have to open that stupid stewart book ever again in my life
oh cool
im aware? lol
ya i dont live in the area but i go to church there so i grew up with those guys
ik u knew its a shitpost i didnt know u knew it was unsolved
๐คทโโ๏ธ i could ask
fair
Imagine UCLA ED
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
can confirm this
I did this ๐
and got into mit the next day
all ucs should charge OOS applicants 400k a quarter
i feel bad for your parents' wallet
alternatively people with low esteem could apply the middle uc's ea and then if they got in, do reaches rd
when oos applicants shit on merced like ok bro its not for u
can confirm
or jsut ea all of them?
it snot like ur doing mroe work?
not just merced, but ppl also shit on riverside and sc โ ๏ธ
riverside is w hating
sc is not
scs actually decent
dont
i havent gotten sc either man
(im cooked)
but its fine if they dont want me 
no like personally if i knew i was getting into berkeley i probably would not have applied davis
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
its a checkbox?
why does it make a differnce
theres no difference in application fee eihter?
i mean i would've saved those 80 dollars because i wouldn't go to davis over berkeley
i mean if you're applying to like 5/8 you probably wanna go to all of them
FR
Iโll only go to a uc if itโs ucla or cal and maybe ucsd, otherwise it ainโt worth it
For engineering at least
Yeah
exaaaactly i just had to make my app catered to berkeley's values without explicity mentioning them
@valid crater sorry ๐โโ๏ธ
yup ๐ญ๐ญ
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
nw, just don't make comments like that
i think the idea is to gauge what kind of person you are instead of telling them about their own school which they already know about
ahhh yeah but like recently i heard abt a club at berk that serves a niche purpose that ive had smth very similar to in hs, and i dont feel like the admissions reader would know abt those typa opportunities
yeah but you can write about that experience in your essays without explicitly connecting it to berkeley
(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
ngl dude i dont think they care
enabletech!
oooh
oh ok so they just hated who i am makes sense
sorry it makes you guys feel that way ๐ญ
๐ซ
Real
wait actually i did this in my 4th piq hopefully they like it ๐๐ผ
Uci hates me lmao
i was just trying to say that i think specific questions for specific uc's wouldn't be that helpful
its because im gay isnt it ๐
yeah clearly the kind of person I am is not the kind of person UCI wants LMAO
I think Iโm too Asian for uci
and Davis maybe wants
no such thing
Uci probably tired of being known as the Asian school
ngl riverside is slowly taking that
This is a sign isnโt it
claiming this because i also got wl uci lol
as an asian
idk my chances for sb are v low
am i coked
only 6% of freshman class had my gpa
im asian and i was rej at uci ๐ญ
you're getting into berk trust
im getting into sb or berk
i hope haha
things will work out trust
Ucsd will destroy me fr
and also its very possible you grow to love another uc
santa barbara's freshman profile thing on its own site is so much more detailed than theo ne on the regular site
UCSD is a goofy school anyways
last year i was convinced berk was my least favorite uc ๐
ive been around ucsd for the last three years and im very eh about it and i HATED sc's vibes
god ucsb let me in
Berkeley is lowkey one of my favorites despite what everyone says
berk is my fav uc
same
its my favorite rn too!
Yeah the food ainโt that great either but itโs Berkeley
i ignore that ๐
But go bears
What I am getting is that aside from academic everything else is shit
ucsb
blackwell right
im 3.8-3.99
yeah
๐
Yeah
My friend last year picked UCD over Berk
Someone picked ucr over berk once
idk thats just whats on the websit
Damn really
wait i lwk love berk's campus
What about UCR that attracted them
campus is gorgeous, clubs are cool, people are pretty nice
this is not who got admitted
Probably partying lol
only who enrolled
I love it too
ok
Fair, did they get rejected from SB?
That's fair yeah
were they closer to berk or riverside
Idk
cuz ik someone who picked santa clara univ over ucla cuz she lived closer to scu
I was there yesterday and I honestly thought it looked really good compare to some other UCs
Party 100%
Stanford isnโt that bad for partying either
stanford parties r fire
Maybe money?
the architecture ahhhh ๐
Stanford is a good few times the price of SB if you don't get much aid
Only downside of Berkeley is that there are a lot of them (physically and literally)
its not even 2x
Feel like it would still be worth
Well if they are in state its quite a few times
and safety
UC Davis = bike school, Berkeley = scooter school
oh
but i have a bike :3
LA is good party, but because its very academic so it countered the amount of party compared to SB
La still does a lot
is there actually a ranking for that lol
ahhhhh
USC carries it
Caltech students usually go to usc or ucla for the parties for obvious reasons
CalTech student go to parties??
They go places once every 5 months or so
I was surprised to find that out too
"I will shower next week"
Caltech students taking their bi-monthly shower
Lmao yeah
That might be a strech
Thatโs probably the only free time they get tbh
CalTech and MIT always get clowned on so much ๐ญ
Nah MIT has a better rep
Both with their funny beaver mascot
I think caltech is the most clowned on
I heard MIT host good parties actually
the wanna be MIT
Yeah MIT frats are actually crazy
Caltech is known for their one sided rivalry with MIT
People at caltech thinking mit acknowledges their existence
Lmao there is people thinking CalTech is part of the CSU system
How to make a caltech student mad 101
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 ๐ i spend way too much time in a2c
Lol the French fur trade
Love that
Lmao
CalTech and MIT both have beaver
Yeah idk if thatโs intentional or not
But Tim the Beaver from MIT win in every aspect
They are engineers
yeah but MIT beaver's Tim is cool
Great engineers turn a bug into a feature
CalTech should've do the decision release on pi day at 2pi pm PST too
They do a riddle every year with some math problem to further emphasize the nerdy nature
What the
No way ๐
Weโre shipping mascots now ๐
Their decision video from MIT is also nerdy
The Beaverhemier
I lowkey need to see a boxing match with all the mascots of California schools put in a ring
I think thatโs how we should actually determine school ranking
Stanford's tree mascot is fucking losing ๐ฅ
poor ucsc
Nah trees are sturdy
GO BANANA SLUGS
do Caltech have sports team
Trojans might win ngl
No
Not really
They do have a basketball team (d3)
Caltech has literally never won a single basketball game until recently
Theyโre like 1-200 or something
This the type of thing getting beat up in old Holleywood HS movies
LMAO
Its the first recommendation on google ๐ญ ๐
Iโd assume caltech point guard probably finds the cross product of someoneโs ankles
Yeah caltech isnโt known for anything other than academia really
Pretty sure they do homework in the bench too
Ok so in 2007, 31 alumni and faculty won the nobel prize but their baskjetball team only won once in 1985
Lmao
The only game they won was by one point ๐
46-45
Lol
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
Beating UCLA reguarly
where have we gone
No way
Bruh caltech played ucsc lol
every single person in california would do that
real
how'd you get berkeley but wl uci lol
"not the right fit" ๐คก
WHEN IS UCSD?
probably 15th
im more of a fit for UCI than berkeley
yeah they sent an email saying its confirmed to be mid march
so 15th is probably more likely than 22nd
it has more possibility
When?
who says it has to be on a friday though
they've always released on fridays?
iirc
okay yeah 15th March seems likely for both UCLA and UCSD then ig
I donโt think for UCLA
why
They said late march no?
yeah but usually they release on the same day as sd no?
UCI usually released with them no?
yeah but uci decided to release with davis for some reason
tired of being snubbed by sd and la 
so we prob donโt know what exactly will happen
i suppose the most likely outcome is just la + sd on the 15th?
my god i hope not
usually la releases on the 3rd friday of march no?
which would be the 15th
Yeah but the year 3/1 was the first Friday they released 3/22
both years actually, 2013 and 2019
UC Lrvine
uc this uc that why cant uc that you belong with me
Tell them youโll teach their new Taylor swift course you might get in
going to vt aswell?
ate
Yea
uc irvine webinar stats ig
ong irvine js admitted by gpa or smthing
tf
๐ญ
international is 6500?
yeah
im 4.0 and got wl 
im 3.5 lol
how much is your nft ๐
no way that wasnt a yield protect ๐ญ
4.0 unweighted 4.07 unweighted waitlisted
Right on the mark
how u know this ;ddd
Ig my ecs were shit
0x
I have shit gpa
u know wat that means?
yes bruh i trade crypto
dont tell me ur shorting it bruh
im not
i'd look at blackrock eth etf getting approved
probably but meh
how important are ib predicted grades for uc admissions
or is my gpa's and piq's more important
id say this but i don't do ib
any news on when ucsb coming out?
damn ok ok
important
shit....
im so done for
i have a 37/42 for my ib predictions (766 in hl's) ๐ญ๐
what uc gpa would be a lock for ucla oos ๐ฅน
nothing a lock fr
look at their middle 50% GPA for admitted students
Thats a good score
Especially 7 6 6 HL
yepp
Lol yeah expected
guys dont re-read ur piq's ๐ญ๐
my piq's sounds so robotic and are filled w flowery language
ignorance is bliss
my piqs sound like an 8th grader wrote it
not gonna read my piqs until all the decisions are out 
it's actually horrendous
berkeley should drop earlier sigh
it is my top school i wanna know
also do we think ucla is march 15th or 22nd
im thinking 22nd
i think 22nd
that's good lmao
Dang so many wl
i read them yesterday and prayed for a lil bit afterwords
which ucs are next be released
prolly ucsd then ucsb
ucla hasn't said anything so we don't know if 15th or 22nd
ucb 28ish
UCSB is on 19th
In chancellors conference they confirmed and for ppl who got the invite they r also admitted
I made that mistake
My piqs were essentially troll
Worst things I have ever written
this month will either be the best or worst month
mf youโre into UCI itโs already a solid month
or neither
its 70k/yr ๐ญ
like ucla/berk since those are rlly the only ones worth for oos and my in state school umich lol
cant believe i got deferred when 50 kids from my school got in
oos ucla/berk cannot be worth over instate umich
yeah its not but im prob not getting in umich after being deferred
man i literally got deferred everywhere with my common app something mustve went wrong
(stole this joke off the internet) uc this uc that how about uc a therapist
two set enjoyer??
YES
WOAAAAAH
YOU TOO???
YEAH LOOL
LETS GOOOOOO
i hope u get into ur fav uc's 
is cal poly slo out
when are the other apps coming out
check pins, those were last years
bust a few UCs are supposedly coming friday
pins?
ohh okay
yea
what are pins?
Fucsc
R we guessing ucla 22nd or 15th
Historically 15th, but the record number of applications could delay it
๐คทโโ๏ธ
iโm willing to put money on the 15th
Iโm willing to say I got rejected
Same
Same
Itโs funny because I forgot to report my AP exams and I think itโs too late 
Thanks!
oh no maybe email them
Rather than changing
you donโt need to send them in
or do you mean self report
Wait me too bye
I thought aps were just for placement ๐
for ucโs?
ohh they matter more at ucโs than a lotta other schools tbh but itโs all reviewed in context of your schools offerings
I guess UC Irvine has not seen my full potential yet, just wait until they see all my 5โs.
They waitlisted me without any scores
whats 5,5
what does that mean
0.5 = FloridaTech
UCI and ucd better
Yeah
Donโt need ucscโs L acceptance since they didnโt take me early
nah fr they have no reason to be taking this long ๐
i didn't report any of mine and i sweeped the ucs besides berkeley
historically 22nd actaully
wait a uc is out?
And the UCโs say theyโre important towards AP exams.
not rn
several have come out tho, but ig uk abt them
ye
tf?
what was ur UC gpa a 4.4
?
my lord
if i had to guess somewhere between 4.3-4.4 for capped
me out here with my 3.9 capped
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
my school's average admitted capped is a 4.21 to most schools and a 4.25 to ucla
damn unfortunate
still got a chance tho
ik someone who got in with a 3.08 unweighted
3.4 weighted but not uc wgpa
Like just tenth and eleventh or
capped means they only consider max 8 ap/honors/ib classes in gpa calculation for 10-11 grades
Yeah ik but is the uncapped just tenth and eleventh
yea
Or 9 through eleven
no
Ok I think mine is the same then ๐ญ only took 7 APs ten through eleven
i only took 5 10-11 ๐
sucks for me since i took 20
god damn
they consider course rigor tho
it's just the gpa calculation that's limited to 8
How is your uncapped 4.5 then
yeah hopefully it helps
Oh wait does it count honors? My school doesnโt have honors ๐
yea
Is this normal at your school ๐ญ
normal 20 is crazy
they only consider honors for which the UC system accepts
there's a website for it idk what it was tho
they don't accept all honors only uc-approved ones
no unless you're waitlisted
but they care abt ur senior yr courses

what school is this
ucla
looks like ucla
We have 0 ๐ญ equity reasons
that aeroE got me cooked
rip
Do you have the letters and sciences
Theyโll account for that right
yea they will
Eleven% ๐
Ok good
you're gonna be evaluated in the context of your school's offerings and what other students took in comparison to u
If I applied for letter and sci for ucla, I would be compared against kids within letter and sci and not by major correct?
yup
So do they neglect looking at that specific major?
So is there a cap to a major for letter and science
no
Like amount it can hold
Oh W
Ok Ty
UCLA bio accept me !!!
rip i applied bioeng
That answers my question and explains a lot
i think psych is impacted
Bio?
Any other?
bio im unsure
Is cs+ling?
cs ling isn't impacted
Oh wait what?!
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
Alr alr.
Hm ok
Are less impacted major like could they have lower expectation in terms of gpa
Expectations was not the right word
like what major
But average
maybe but if ur ECs and courses don't back up ur major choice then they're gonna know you're trying to finesse
Well my major, cs+ling isnโt impacted so Iโm wondering if the gpa being lower would have any effect
is it in lsa?
Ah ic. Ya I stressed linguistics in my essay I wrote a whole essay on it is that fine?
yea that's fine
I mean there was one ec that involves linguistics but was on ec #13
Thatโs a lot tho
but yea typically impacted major vs non impacted major, standards will be lower for non impacted major
every engineering major here is cracked out of their minds
Ya. Tbh I feel better now
What makes something an impact major
i applied bioeng witha 4.8 uc uncapped n thats still not even 75th percientile bry
โI built and launched a nasa rocket to the moon at the age of 10โ
demand
If itโs popular
yea fr
rejected not impressive enough
Woah woah what do you guys mean by gpa โcapped?โ
cure cancer then we'll talk
Did you have 10 classes a year or single semester Aps
Too many people wanting to do it
Not enough space
I not only found the cure to cancer but I coded an AI to do it
Oh I think biz econ is an impact major then
insert ai buzzword
so u didnt find it the AI did
maybe we'll give the AI an acceptance letter
I had a nasa internship: rejected by Davis; waitlisted by Irvine.
brodie how
what were ur piqs abt ๐ญ
Herman but fr tho no one does cs+ling? And if they donโt look at major how would they know to have lower gpa?
I think gpa is the heaviest factor
i mean my ecs are crazy and I have a reason for the grades
And essays
its only like two three classes holding me down
gpa is def the heaviest factor for UCs
i mean true but my gpa is like just barely 25th percentile
I think my ECs are definitely not that great but in context of my area theyโre alright
me but i didnt apply to davis or irvine but me when i got deferred wisco
4.6 25th for cs is insane
Definitely not
ucla fs is
wth
Thank god!
ucla for sure but the rest of the ucs not rlly
the importance ranges per school
Actually yeah I applied CS with a 4.06 gpa at the time of submission, but now I canโt report my 4.2 
Berkeley for sure no
what are the most important things for ucla do yk? i guess 1. gpa then wut
Like there might be a minimum threshold
yeah, berk and LA are like the opposite
ucla is so scuffed
its joever
gpa > income level > being at the top of ur hs > piqs > ecs
That fries my brain to see
Is there a way I can update my gpaโฆ?
aaaaa
omg Let's go
Piqs comes before being at the top fs
this might work out guys...
Income level?
They have a criteria of 13 things
my ecs are kinda mid but other than that
low income/income diversity
Ah
i think ELC is important for LA and berk, i heard that around 90% of the incoming class has ELC elgibilty
yeah lmao i need ecs > piqs > gpa > income > top of hs
yeah i read that but i figured they have a hierarchy of importance that im not aware of
Well college is a social facilitator might as well let it be
ELC thru hs thru cali or either?
duhh
im not sure
additional context
no yea for sure
you can qualify for ELC in two ways (top 9% of hs or top 9% of cali)
ELC is more important for other UCs that aren't ucla or berkeley
there's recent charts on it
Whatโs ELC?
but i think its called ELC for hs and called smth else for Cali
lemme try and find it
Oh does it help
Eligibility in the Local Context
It might be weighed differently at schools but I think typically it would be: location > piqs > ecs > gpa > class rank, just from what I think though
if ur low income
yeah it is pretty normal since we are all in a dual enrollment program
Location ๐ญ
Iโm oos bro
Dude I liked my PIQs so much but my ass did not have Grammarly downloaded athe time and i just opened it up a day ago w grammarly and uhhh......Some mistakes
it grants a gaurantee accept into merced u qualify either by being the top 9% of cali or top 9% of high school. if ur top 9% of ur high school it's also marked on your admissions file
Hopefully minor grammar mistakes won't be that big of a deal โค๏ธ
Oh I thought you meant 20 Aps
I donโt think they care about how you wrote it itโs just the content that matters more
okay yay
what is B25 and B50
bc my writing usually carries
my stats are good enough but i just really use the writing to stand out Lol
Itโs not the commonapp personal statement where you need to use elaborate imagery or literary devices
But Iโm a Georgia resident
Help
bottom half/bottom quarter of high school class
no yeah mine wasnt as tryhard written as my PS
Yeah I think my stats are fine, piqs maybe not so much because I might not have shown too much personality
oh then yeah u dont get that
actually hold up idk wtf b25 b50 means
i think they mean like
high school rank
my hs doesnt rank tho
i was debating how i should write the piqs for a loing time, some said to worry less about the "flavor" of the writing and moreso make sure u get important points across as blunt as they may seem, whereas other people were like no u have to try to make it all sound good and flavorful but also get ur point accross
so i just did a mix of the two
I was a lot more direct in my piqs
UCs rank ur high school students if you're in california
this paper says that
Answering the prompt
they have a profile of every high school in cali
yeah i was def more direct but i still kept a little bit of style
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%
they dont use ur high school's student ranking
not sure how old this is
I was told to write it like you were in an interview setting so a lot of my answers were trying to be straight forward while trying to mix a logical sequence of events (for context)
ohhh i'm FUCKED
my school is one of those schools
Wdym
๐
its actually wraps
seems like a while ago actually
My high school is kind of bad lol
Oh yeah I read something saying that right before i werote them so i kinda kept that in mind
i talked to a uci ao when i was applying and he said he hates essay that aren't direct from the jump
Yeah we had an admissions rep come to our school to tell us about the schools and how to write the piqs
Yeah basically the same
its so over for me LMAO
wait is this confirmed? they actually rank the student body?
Bishh I wish mine did
Because if youโre an AO you donโt want to be analyzing an essay for clever metaphors and literary stuff to uncover a personโs personality lol
anyone know people that get in with sub 4 uc gpas
We had a cal rep come and he was so chill but we just talked more ab physics than actually applying lol
UCs want PIQs like youre answering interview questions
it happens
how do i check mine
like
Damn I gotta go check my UC piqs
it happens often enough
what if ur school doesnโt do ranking?
me like im scared now
Yeah we had a Davis rep
It might be better not to lol
Live on the other side of the country no UC reps coming here ๐
Because then youโll give yourself unwanted stress lmao
i had a ucla ucsb ucsd and cal rep come but they all gave us really basic info
no specifics at all
Ignorance is bliss
real talk
i got that
ya im from virginia but we had a cal person come so that was cool and random
the delusion lives
Isnโt elc just a safety net if you donโt get accepted into uc campuses
i live in LA and they couldnt even get us a UCLA rep :(
oop i just reread my PIQs and uhhhh
I donโt see why that would really play a role
its also a factor in admissions
theyre well written but not extremely direct๐ญ
its a designation on your app
if ur eligible it shows on your UC app
Ik I have it
โHowever, Iโm fascinated by bureaucracy. This may be the first time those words were writtenโ BANGER LINE
typically those with higher gpas are more likely to have ELC, and those with higehr gpas also are admitted typically to LA and berk
But I think itโs just since they tend to accept more applicants at the top of their classes, those applicants have elc elgibility
Bitch I was so metaphorical in mine Im scared
yea
this isn'
exactly
Elc is literally just the top 9%
yeah there's a checkbox on their admission packet telling them if u hit elc or not
this isn't really giving interview question answers
im nowhere near the top of my class but somehow i got ELC so the 10th-11th grade results i had worked
idk what thatll do for me at berk and la tho
Idk usually elc would play a role in getting into Merced even though you didnโt apply
Thatโs what Iโve heard
ah yeah
Basically be in top 9% of your class
i doubt i can get into sb or sd :(
i think my piqs were alright, i'm just afraid bc my haas video essay for berk was lowk mid
i liked my piqs
im saying that usually kids that are admitted to LA and berk are top of their class, so they would have ELC designation
i guess davis and irvine and sc didnt
I wish I was a little more direct but it's okauy
We must not worry about what decisions have already been madew
My essays are solid except for 1 ๐
Yeah but that doesnโt really mean elc played a role, they just have it because theyโre all high achievers
#yolo
How do I compete as an OOS student 
Meeee
you don't
but if you didnt have ELC then im not sure how it would look then
ucs keep decreasing oos admit rate
Irvine rejected berkeley regents students ๐ฅฑ
i think its basically a must have to la and berk admits in state
man i cant even compete as an in state student
^^^
If you donโt have ELC then that would mean your gpa would be low
Justice for OOS
so its prob not happening
I have a 4.5 uc gpa and waitlisted Davis rejected Irvine lol
Gpa doesnโt mean anything
Wait so you guys are telling me itโs good thing that I got waitlisted UCIrvine as OOS?
Tbh itโs not even fair for in state students
yeah it does lol
hallo
Yall pay 45k a year
i got waitlisted davis
Thatโs crazy
yeah they take a lot off waitlist afaik
lol it would be cool for finally someone in our school that was top 2% of their class get into ucla
mhm
my dad lived in cali right up until i was born so. I almost did.
I want to break this notion that u need to be valedictorian to get into ucla.
In comparison Florida tuition is like 6k
then he decided to move from LA to virginia...
LITERALLY SAME
Why are we twin
should've been a bay area girlie
Like what percentage?
what majors did you guys apply as
virginia tech and uva are v good?
Last year one person went to ucla because he was ranked #2 I believe, so I think that makes sense for ucla ig
someone here said 80+ but not sure if thats true
Hardest one
Ainโt no way. So I got accepted?
LETS GOOOO
idt its 80%
oh ya foir sure but they're just filled with all of my hs people and i want a little fchange๐ฅบ but i love viorginia honestly im just ready for a lil something new
sigh i wish berkeley did legacy admissions it's the only school i would've had an advantage at
Ya this whole belief that u need to be valedictorian seems to be very accurate even with my school data I just hope this gets broken this year
lol same my dad did undergrad and grad at berk
Iโm considered first gen so does that help me at all
if you got into SD would you go?
yeah ofc
astrophysics so i am expecting NOTHING
if its in lsa then its not impacted
Lmao try cs
so dw
I think Herman said some were impacted
pray physics isnt
elc is really weird
Ooh my friend did this too
so do la and berk only admit by college, not major?
same here
๐ญ
valedictorian is always accepted into UCLA, no one else usually
it's sooo cool but ik im gonna be crying every night
i either have a 3.89, 4.04, or 4.15 uc gpa
engineering is usually by major
Well this isnโt true. Like L&S are different
But Berkeley cs is college of computing now instead of l&s so idk what that means
How do you calculate UC gpa?
i have no idea since i failed n retook a class + switched to indepenfent learning
do they consider ur major at all or is it mostly just the school
apparently last year ucla took 4
and i now know i am top 10-13 at my school due to getting ELC
2 people higher than me in rankings already got into their top choices
If so then im back hello!
idk what to do from there tho
My friend reads physics and astrophysics book for fun. Heโs already doing math at Stanford. Finished Lin alg in sophomore year
my schools grade app dows it for me but u can use a gpa calculator
I mean theyโll consider if itโs something like engineering
I watch Love Island for fun
wdym
Yall does the uc admissions data by source school use weighted uncapped gpa
capped weighted
But what about physics
uc gpa i believe
Like major matter for college of engineering for ucla but major doesnโt matter for letter and science
but me being elc means im top 50 gpa wise which makes no sense
i know it aint true.
W
yeah capped weighted uc
Not sure
it onyl takes in considerationg grades 10-11
I believe Berkeley is uncapped
๐ฏ๏ธ ๐ฏ๏ธ ๐ฏ๏ธ ๐ฏ๏ธ ๐ฏ๏ธ ๐ฏ๏ธ Me
gotcha
yes
so if u fucced up freshman year, its not in that gpa
i had a C and an F
YESSS
R you sure itโs capped weighted and not uncapped?
this is good for me lmao
COVID WAS ROUGH OK
its capped weighted
My only b was in freshmen year and I wasnโt supposed to get it lol
reallt doesnt make sense
I think itโs pretty hard to get a capped weighted of 4.32
๐คท๐ฝ
Me with my 5 Bs like heyyyyy 
its not impossible
me with my 1 C
considering average at ucla for my school was like 4.37 or 4.38 iirc
has to be possible
How is that bad?-
Yeah but for an average enrolled
Capped or uncapped?
It shows we have character period
capped
it is defintely possible
I get laughed at on here when I don't have all A's
and we dont take aps sophmore year 
i wrote a whole essay on that 1 C
Yet here you are accepted by Davis.
just kiding im sure no one cares
Lowkey same but indirectly
Lol
lol same i have 12
do in-state applicants show rank?
i was running out of time on the deadline and i pasted in an essay about my adhd anxiety and my deep interest in research
but yk what yolo ig irivine n davis still took me
Again proof that it shows we have characterrrrr like yas
i have like 12+
Iโm about to be the first not to
and balancing time management/depth
i think
my xtra circumstances fr helping me out
i mean northeastern still took me
omg i'm so scared for northeastern bro
they fr enjoying course rigor
wait guys ily this is refreshing to hear bc genuinely ppl make me feel insecure aboiut applying to competitive schools w my B's but idc
why are they not telling us what day they're dropping
Do you guys just not like take classes

SAME
My father who was a Valedictorian, rejected by ucla.
every acceptance i get i just want to tell people they don't have zero chance
Your gpa really doesnโt matter as much since โholisticโ review
? we dont take aps sophmore year not allowed
i think thy are tomorrow i hopeee
how does UCLA know whos valedictorian anyway
its your applicants :)
ahhhh good luck
Like per semester
ya but its rough out here with my Bs and test optional LOL
You put class rank on the app I think
wdym
And they also have your schoolโs file
What is ELC and how do you check
Even with getting all As and reaching the cap limit for honors courses I canโt reach a 4.3
Go on your uc app and it should tell you
Capped
also idk how i'd pay for ucs if i do get into la/berk bc they give oos peeps NOTHING
and it's not even negotiable
Test optional/blind is actually a benefit for a lot of people
"You rank in the top 9 percent of California high school students, based on your A-G course totals, UC GPA and our admissions index opens in new tab. If you meet the minimum admission requirements and aren't admitted to any UC campus to which you applied, you will be offered a spot at another campus if space is available." this ?
@undone tendon thatโs why idk how people are able to have 4.3+ capped lmao
really
i feel so anxious as a t/o
yes
if the ucs weren't test blind id be so much better off
My friend got like a 1380 on the sat and since caltech is test blind, they never took it into consideration so she got in
Lol me too maybe
i didn't really apply anywhere EA excspt for like 6 and i got into 2 deferred by p much all others
but it just means you get merced though but what is the significance
oh as an OOS, i don't see a class rank option, and i don't think they have my school's profile
damn that's insane
I have a 33 act but I was 1 point away from having a 34 which wouldโve made me competitive for a lot of schools lol
it means you have a high enough gpa typically of those admitted to berk and la
