All UCs 🐻🐮🐴🐱🐶🔱🤠🐌 (2023-2024)

[misty bough]

its better to have it than to not basically

[covert arch]

true

[kind jay]

@undone tendon how many classes do you take per semester that might be it bc the more classes you take it saturates your capped and drags down your gpa

Kinda shitty ngl

[edgy harness]

yeah i just only took it once and had some issues so i didn't retake the one over senior fall that i planned to and so...Here we are t/o

[undone tendon]

i take 4 per semester

[jade quiver]

It’s really just a safety net more than anything, you’ll get it if you have a high gpa typically

[kind jay]

Yeah that makes sense I have twice the grades you have

We do 8

Which explains my low capped

[jade quiver]

Yeah even without standardized testing you can still get into elite schools

[alpine nacelle]

wtf huh

[jade quiver]

Although Yale and a few others are bringing the requirement back now

[frank cedar]

UC app is weird as OOS, no school profile from counselor, no transcript sent, no counselor rec, no teacher recs, basically just yourself

[edgy harness]

I hope so I guess I will just have to wait and see

[alpine nacelle]

both 4 and 8 is wild to me

[kind jay]

My capped is a 4.17 my uncapped is like a 4.7

[edgy harness]

Me vs the world

[kind jay]

Capped is so strange

[alpine nacelle]

i feel like such a piece of shit for hoping my sat helps me there

[misty bough]

thats why la and berk look at both

uncapped nad capped

[astral path]

wait can somoene explain capped and not capped, which do they care about more?

[kind jay]

Slay LA

[undone tendon]

yea this is what it says dor me

[jade quiver]

I mean it’s based off the fact that people who did submit test scores performed way better in classes than those who didn’t

[undone tendon]

which is super odd

[alpine nacelle]

yeah it's really weird

i don't think i have a great shot

[undone tendon]

but idk if i should count the F since i retook the class ???

[misty bough]

one is capped at 8 honors semester, the uncapped isnt

not sure whcih is more importnat

[alpine nacelle]

at la berk

[misty bough]

they both probably need to be decent

[edgy harness]

no i think it's a valid data point even as a t/o person i think they shoudl all go back to beign required bc it also lessens their weight you know

[undone tendon]

if it is removef my capped says 4.3 i think

[exotic finch]

thats statewide gaurantee not ELC

[nova bridge]

iwish the ucs were test optional instead of blind

[covert arch]

where is ELC then

[jade quiver]

True, because gpa is subjective and each school has different levels of rigor

[alpine nacelle]

yes

[nova bridge]

a 1560 shows my 3.85 isn't a complete fuck up and that im actually smart

[jade quiver]

For example my school’s AP classes aren’t exactly the most difficult compared to others

[nova bridge]

im just bad at english

[edgy harness]

yeah. i mean you look at sat averages now vs 5 years ago and the differences are pretty insane

[nova bridge]

i do well in my stem classes

[misty bough]

if you had ELC it would say you are top 9% in ur graduating class

[uncut raft]

my only positive is my facking sat

[humble nova]

Aren’t you from florida 💀

[frank cedar]

when my gpa is lowered because i am forced to take 8 classes, and the only other classes are non-honors

[jade quiver]

And the average sat from my school would’ve probably been around the low 1400s

[alpine nacelle]

actually i feel like my sat would show them i don't work hard enough

[covert arch]

no? from cali

[kind jay]

That’s

Me

[exotic finch]

if ur in state u got a letter last year in the mail

[humble nova]

Oh wait similar pfp

[jade quiver]

Yeah grade inflation has gotten pretty out of hand

[humble nova]

My bad

[humble nova]

I didn’t

Guess mine got lost in the mail

[exotic finch]

r u elc?

[covert arch]

i dont check mail

[nova bridge]

i dont get why we didnt go back to test required the year after pandemic

[uncut raft]

yes but i think ao's will also see high sat low gpa as someone who can do well but didnt try hard enough in school

[exotic finch]

its on the same page u checked

the one where u got the other message

[humble nova]

Yup

[exotic finch]

ah

[humble nova]

Not that it matters I don’t want to go to merced

[nova bridge]

i have upward trend and reason

[jade quiver]

And the worst part is that when students with inflated gpas go into schools like Berkeley with deflated gpas, they’re going to suffer

[undone tendon]

ah this explains it im top 9% of california kids not my hs

[kind jay]

Tbf I think a 3.85 doesn’t show slacking

[misty bough]

You rank in the top 9 percent of your graduating class according to UC calculations. We refer to this as "Eligibility in the Local Context" or ELC.

[nova bridge]

thats my uc gpa

[exotic finch]

that's what you want @covert arch

[covert arch]

welp

[exotic finch]

yeah 3.85 is good

[nova bridge]

my regular is 3.38 without freshman year its like 3.65 ithink

[covert arch]

GGS CHAT

[jade quiver]

Nah it’s not over

[uncut raft]

i mean low gpa in general

[exotic finch]

i dont have it either

and i got waitlisted from davis so

not ggs

games still on

[covert arch]

yo same

what major ?

[jade quiver]

I have it and got waitlisted from Davis

Doesn’t do much

[uncut raft]

just saying low gpa + high sat doesnt always help

[exotic finch]

comp sci and engineering

[exotic finch]

yea but medium high gpa + high sat

[jade quiver]

Lol I just applied pure cs

[alpine nacelle]

i think i might have a 3.7 ngl

[exotic finch]

does help

[jade quiver]

Pretty dumb of me lmao

[uncut raft]

sure

[covert arch]

might be my twin fr 🤞

[exotic finch]

im of the opinion anything above a 3.4 is good

[jade quiver]

Now I’m extremely fried

[edgy harness]

Same

[exotic finch]

raw cs everywhere??

[jade quiver]

Basically yeah

[exotic finch]

send me what u applied to

[nova bridge]

it was a 3.38 but w senior year its a 3.43!!!

i got into neu i guess

none of my other reaches

[exotic finch]

u should be good

[undone tendon]

[undone tendon]

THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!

[jade quiver]

Nice

[hidden cedar]

guys what if schools did unlikely letters:

You were in the very bottom percentile of our applicants and so we wanted to let you know that on decision day you can expect a disappointing outcome

[edgy harness]

omg congratsssss

[jade quiver]

I got the other way around

[edgy harness]

I would giggle

[agile wedge]

id actually like this

[uncut raft]

what if schools sent rejection mails

[edgy harness]

what if schools sent rejection packages with cute stuff to cheer you up

[uncut raft]

^^

lmfao

[hidden cedar]

lmaooo

[undone tendon]

guys this is hilarious

[edgy harness]

like stuffed animals

[honest vine]

but.. but.. mah profits

[jade quiver]

You were in the very bottom percentile of our applicants so we're writing to inform you that even though the official decision release date is not here yet, you will definitely not be offered a spot in our incoming class

[uncut raft]

thank you for applying, but its okay, here's our mascot so you can keep dreaming

[atomic fulcrum]

wait is something out

[honest vine]

id get a legit collection of them

[jade quiver]

Idk which uni my dad attended

[hidden cedar]

calech 🤮

[frank cedar]

how was my dad so goated but ended up in middle of no where united states 💀

[split swan]

Because international students have it harder to get in admissions.

[tacit geode]

tbh even the Japanese system stresses tf out of me as an idea like wdym schools have seperate entrance exams

That’s wild

[frank cedar]

caltech doo doo 💯

[jade quiver]

noooo

[limpid goblet]

HELL NAH

THEY SO FOUL FOR THIS

[split swan]

Ew it’s Walmart, target is better.

[dusky solstice]

Anyone still waiting for University of Phoenix Online decisions?

[honest vine]

didnt know walmart football team used tibetan for their motto

[granite dirge]

ur saying thats bad?

10-11 i did two

[random saffron]

no just lower than typical

[jade quiver]

Depends on what’s offered at the school

[random saffron]

ye

mine offerred 11

[jade quiver]

My school only has 11 Apstotal

Same

[random saffron]

i think they have 13 now tho

after i graduated

ap precalc and some other ap

[jade quiver]

We had a few that lasted one year and stopped

AP precal is insane

[honest vine]

lmao

[jade quiver]

Anyone taking that this year is crazy lol

[honest vine]

an ap to prep for an ap

[granite dirge]

mine has 16

aps

[random saffron]

yea idk what cb was thinking

[jade quiver]

No previous practice tests lol

Honors precal exists, AP Calc doesn’t even use precal that much

[random saffron]

yea im doing differential and integral calc rn

[kind jay]

ap precalc

fake

[random saffron]

and i dont recall the last time

i recalled something from precalc

[sharp saddle]

trig

[random saffron]

it's just algebra and trig

[jade quiver]

Trig identities is pretty much it, even then you don’t need to know all of it

[random saffron]

yea but i honestly completely forgot abt trig and relearned it while taking calc and i've been doing fine

[jade quiver]

Just some basic ones

[sharp saddle]

get me in UCLA for CS please brop

[random saffron]

ill tell the aos 🙏

[jade quiver]

Yeah I took precalc online and remembered nothing still passed Calc

[sharp saddle]

wrd

i can add so much valuie bro

[jade quiver]

Tell them to let me in too 🙏

[sharp saddle]

i find planets for a living

[jade quiver]

I will religiously hate on usc if they do

[random saffron]

😭

[sharp saddle]

im being serious i find exoplanets tell the CS dept they need me

[random saffron]

i walked to in n out the other day but for some reason there were like 300 usc kids inside so i walked back to my dorm

[kind jay]

😭

[sharp saddle]

😭

@random saffron are you doing cs >>> swe or are you going into ML

[random saffron]

ml if i can keep my gpa up

swe otherwise

[sharp saddle]

do ml bro its so nice

[jade quiver]

What would you recommend to double major with cs

[random saffron]

i've heard the upper div cs courses are kinda crazy tho

ill decide once i start those

[random saffron]

imo i wouldn't double

it's hard to double here with a samueli major

[jade quiver]

Feel like cs alone isn’t enough

[random saffron]

cuz the majors are so long

[jade quiver]

Yeah ig

[sharp saddle]

yeah if u decide to pursure ML lmk i can refer you to my mentors @ nasa for an ML internshi

they like UC students

[jade quiver]

My cousin did cs and math at Berkeley and I was wondering if I should do the same

[random saffron]

bro that's actually crazy

they take undergrads? or no

[sharp saddle]

yes they do they take all they way up to phds

paid position

lmk

[random saffron]

there's a lot of overlap so it's def possible

[random saffron]

damn bet

i appreciate it 🙏

[sharp saddle]

[sharp saddle]

#1215416644655124561 message

[jade quiver]

Nah you’ll get ucla and Berkeley 💯

[sharp saddle]

i want ucsd or berk or la

so bad

[jade quiver]

Same

Praying for ucsd

[balmy laurel]

ok nvm ur just cracked 💀

[jade quiver]

Because I have no chance for berk/La

[sharp saddle]

😭 AOs dont think so

[balmy laurel]

i only have one thing going for me ig aos liked that

[honest vine]

IKR sd or sb pleaseee

[jade quiver]

Nah you’ll definitely get the other ones

[honest vine]

but not happening

[jade quiver]

I got waitlisted Davis lol

And rejected uci

[balmy laurel]

nah berekeley got u

[honest vine]

such crazy ppl are detting rejected from davis and irvein

[random saffron]

@sharp saddle what UCs have u gotten into so far

[crimson badger]

thoughts on LA/SD coming out on friday?

[sharp saddle]

i will literally name a planet after a university if they accept me bro FUCK

[sharp saddle]

NONE! WL riverside, reject UCI, UC DAVIS

[balmy laurel]

where have u gotten into tho

[random saffron]

bro they're actually fucking u over if u get into none of them

[jade quiver]

He said none

[sharp saddle]

for UCs? none

[balmy laurel]

like outside UC

[sharp saddle]

OH

UCF and ASU 🔥

[acoustic ibex]

asu 🔥

[honest vine]

u didnt apply sjsu D:

[sharp saddle]

i did

[jade quiver]

There’s no way he’d get rejected from every one

Do you have ELC?

[balmy laurel]

asu harvard of the west 🔥

[sharp saddle]

waht is ELC

[random saffron]

merced will take him if he's elc

but

[jade quiver]

Top 9% of your class

[sharp saddle]

OH yeah

[random saffron]

nobody wants to get there

[sharp saddle]

yeah fucjk that

[random saffron]

💀

[jade quiver]

Lmao

Better than nothing

[random saffron]

true

[jade quiver]

To be fair for cs schools lowkey don’t matter as much

[balmy laurel]

ok ngl ur fine since u already have one internship

[sharp saddle]

i have 2 ML but nasa is more notable

[honest vine]

dam

bruh

[jade quiver]

Berkeley will take you trust

[balmy laurel]

did they give u a return offer

[honest vine]

this is who im competing with?????
ughhh

[balmy laurel]

should just quit and work there full time

[random saffron]

yea idk why but i have a feeling berkeley got u

[sharp saddle]

for summer, i declined; i was offered fall and then extended to spring

they wanted me summer

[jade quiver]

Nah don’t worry my ECs are mid compared to this

[honest vine]

yea same

[sharp saddle]

my sister went to berk

[jade quiver]

I wouldn’t even say mid it’s like trash

[sharp saddle]

i hope they want mme

[jade quiver]

Berkeley 100% will

[balmy laurel]

ok wtf are u worrying about 😭 degrees in cs dont matter that much once u have experience

[random saffron]

big berk

[sharp saddle]

i just need to get into a decent college bro im praying

[honest vine]

which is why u go to sjsu 🔥

[jade quiver]

It’s more for the validation

[balmy laurel]

this is real

more for the asian parents

[jade quiver]

Because imagine working so hard for years to get into a uni that you could’ve gotten into with half the effort

[sharp saddle]

eSXACTLY

BRO EXACTLY

[honest vine]

OMG THIS IS WHAT I FEAR

[jade quiver]

Same

[sharp saddle]

it is what is is tho just move on if the outcomes arent favorable

[balmy laurel]

this is literally me for 4 months bc i got deferred everywhere except for my state uni with a 90% acceptance rate

[jade quiver]

The best I have rn is ucr lol

[sharp saddle]

best i have RN is university of central florida 🤣

[acoustic ibex]

parents have to realize that its all luck at some point

right

[random saffron]

they will never

[honest vine]

yea i literally have so few acceptances, only to colleges with 75+% acc rates, i didnt have to work so hard man

[random saffron]

not if they're asian immigrants

[acoustic ibex]

pain

[random saffron]

why no 1610 sat??? why only 1600??

[balmy laurel]

yeah like whats the point if ur going to the same uni that ur 3.5 gpa friends all are going to end up at

[jade quiver]

My parents understand but are still disappointed lol

[acoustic ibex]

my friend got a 2370 back when i was applying!

[jade quiver]

Doesn’t help that I’m being compared to my cousins and friends

[acoustic ibex]

why is your score so low??

[random saffron]

yea mine understand too but they were still bummed out when i committed to ucsd

but then i got off the wl for ucla

[jade quiver]

My dad once said that if I didn’t get into Stanford then I was a failure basically

[acoustic ibex]

gg

[sharp saddle]

bro CS at UCSD is insane WTF

why were they mad

[balmy laurel]

bummed out for ucsd is crazy

[jade quiver]

Because it’s not a fancy Ivy League

[random saffron]

it's cuz they wanted bigger name recognition

[honest vine]

istg

[tacit geode]

this is why i dont tell other peoples parents what i got on sat + where i applied, im not gonna let u compare ur child to me, we're two different people lmao

[random saffron]

ucla/berk was the minimum that would satisfy them

[mild saffron]

or just like, realize how hard it is to get into schools

[mild saffron]

omg same for my brother

[sharp saddle]

crazy

what was ur berk decision?

[random saffron]

rejected

i sweeped ucs tho

[balmy laurel]

my parents only know the gao kao so they prob dont think its luck

[sharp saddle]

damn

[random saffron]

besides berk

[jade quiver]

They’d probably prefer an Ivy League with a weaker cs program than a public with a stronger one, mainly for name recognition

[acoustic ibex]

frankly it shouldn't be this hard lol, there are just so many things happening at once that make it impossible

[sharp saddle]

i WISH this was me

[tacit geode]

lowkey not just parents, people be crying "yield protect" like maybe ur just unlucky tbh if that makes sense

[random saffron]

i blame my cousins

they're all harvardians n shit

[mild saffron]

bro....my mom thought usc was a safety until like, this summer

[random saffron]

huge gatekeepers tho

[mild saffron]

i wish i was joking

[random saffron]

will never give me a helping hand

[sharp saddle]

are u deadas

[jade quiver]

My mom thought I would’ve gotten in Davis easily (I got waitlisted 💀)

[mild saffron]

i am so deadass

[tacit geode]

like ill tell my friends if they ask but like if a parent asks me ill say, oh i did well, i applied to lots of places... and not mention more details lmao

[acoustic ibex]

the acceptance rate used to be 25% around 2000

[honest vine]

my mom thought uiuc cs was one of the lower schools, and was furious i didnt get in, cuz "who gets rejected from indiana"

[acoustic ibex]

i cant really blame her

[random saffron]

25% is still hella low

[mild saffron]

25% is still not a safety though t-t

[acoustic ibex]

yeah but much more realistic

[mild saffron]

true true

[acoustic ibex]

not 5% EA 💀

[sharp saddle]

CARNEGIE MELLON PLEASE ACCEPT ME

[jade quiver]

Cmu is so expensive bruh

[honest vine]

ur a hero

[sharp saddle]

[sharp saddle]

86k a yEAR

[split swan]

Is there even a difference between honors and AP Precalculus?

[honest vine]

please dont say the date i wanna be oblivious

[tacit geode]

like my parents dont do it but nuh uh

[acoustic ibex]

YIKES

[jade quiver]

Idk never took either

[sharp saddle]

are u sure u dont wanna know when it comes out

[tacit geode]

there is, my school replaced our adv precalc with ap

ap is easier in terms of content from what my teacher said

[jade quiver]

That’s like 80% of my household income 💀💀💀

[tacit geode]

(i took adv, not ap)

[honest vine]

yes. i dont know when berkeley, cmu, usc, etc comes out cuz then i start panicking

[acoustic ibex]

i try to do this but its so awkward sometimes

[random saffron]

that's triple mine 💀

[tacit geode]

but she hates teaching ap bc theres like no resources

[sharp saddle]

HOW HAVE U STAYED THIS SAFE 😭

[honest vine]

lmao im careful with what i see

[sharp saddle]

crazy

[jade quiver]

Ignorance is bliss

[honest vine]

this all UCs thread has spoiled several for me

[random saffron]

i wouldn't be able to resist the urge

[honest vine]

like sd sc etc

but its fine

[tacit geode]

this is true, but like... if they rlly push it its awkard + if i know the kid + their parents then yeah ill say stuff lol cause ik

[jade quiver]

I refuse to look at any astrology

[tacit geode]

ur big brain

[tacit geode]

lets do portal astrology!!!! omg

[acoustic ibex]

yall crazy lol no need to stress about decision dates. your decisions have prob already been made and its just a matter of time of when you get it, what happens happens and what matters is you tried your best

[random saffron]

apparently it's against the rules to talk abt portal astro here

[jade quiver]

That makes it worse 💀

[honest vine]

originally i was gonna let all decisions come and open them all on april 2nd, but then i realized scholarship offers, defer stuff etc is time sensetive, so i just find out decision dates the day of

[mild saffron]

I just want to mentally prepare for when it happens

[undone tendon]

yeaaa

[jade quiver]

Knowing that I’m probably already rejected is just worse

[mild saffron]

Because I keep getting jump scared by them in the randomness places

[random saffron]

fair

[acoustic ibex]

i actually hate those parents who push it like why you tryna be invasive

[undone tendon]

im excited bc for my family its a big exciting event ! we share w cousins n are v supportive so

[tacit geode]

fr fr like wtf

[acoustic ibex]

come on dont do that to yourself

[tacit geode]

yeah it is

[acoustic ibex]

see what happens

[jade quiver]

It’s just a looming feeling

[tacit geode]

im trying so hard to not have hope so i dont get dissapointed

[acoustic ibex]

[honest vine]

ikr brooo

[mild saffron]

I have no expectations

Atp

[tacit geode]

i wish i could say that

[honest vine]

cuz i thought ucr was a safety and was crushed when i got rejected

[mild saffron]

After the UCI rejection I have been brain off

[honest vine]

so now im expecting rejection everywhere

[tacit geode]

i wanna just say, oh i got rejected everywhere so that i can just be surprised about everything

[sharp saddle]

what was ur uc gpa

[tacit geode]

but like i cant get myself to believe that lmao

[jade quiver]

Uci had me so demotivated

[honest vine]

4.1x

[fallow stream]

same

[mild saffron]

In my mind it’s better to be like, I’m getting rejected and then get pleasantly surprised

[acoustic ibex]

start with thinking you'll get rejected so everything else is a pleasant surprise ✅

[sharp saddle]

bro wtf

[random saffron]

i know someone who got rejected ucr cs but got into uci cs

[jade quiver]

Future is looking so grim

[mild saffron]

Yeah same. I’m so far above the 75th percentile I was shocked

[sharp saddle]

i know someone who got rejected all except for berk eecs bro

praying thats me

[random saffron]

same

[honest vine]

so now im making myself love sjsu so that i can not be very ver disappointed with my results

[jade quiver]

I had a 4.5 uc gpa and I thought uci cared a lot about gpa lol

[honest vine]

IKR

[random saffron]

uc decisions don't correlate with one another

[honest vine]

cs sucks

[mild saffron]

That’s me with UCD rn and it is very much working

[tacit geode]

cow school so cool!!!

[acoustic ibex]

clearly uci did not care about anything this time around

[random saffron]

u can get rej by everything and then boom berkeley takes u or something

[ivory nimbus]

Go to Khan Academy

[jade quiver]

Real

[mild saffron]

OOOOHHH that’s so cool!!!!

[modest urchin]

has anyone gotten ucsc rolling decisons yet?

[hushed terrace]

nope

[jade quiver]

I don’t think ucsc is rolling, they just released an early batch

[fallow stream]

I dont think they are rolling instead they planned to release two batches this year. One last month and the next one will be on the 20th.

[limber cipher]

I got it like a week ago

or some time back

maybe two weeks ago

[fallow stream]

ucsc will however be rolling on the 20th the time you recieve your admission decsion will be based on the first letter of your last name. They sent out an email with the times.

[hidden cedar]

ddint get mine

im cooked

its over for me

[hidden cedar]

all of hwihc were acceptnaces

(im cooked)

[fallow stream]

No you should think of it like the early berkely admits its just sent to a batch of applicants it does not mean you will be rejected.

[humble nova]

They didn’t say it was the 20th

[tacit geode]

they said, by the 20th

[fallow stream]

The email says all freshman decsions will be posted no later than the 20th

[tacit geode]

so could be anytime btwn now and 20th, and decisions that dya will be released based on name

[hidden cedar]

nahhh berkeley and sb wont take me too

im soo cooked

its over

[fallow stream]

You dont know yet so stay positive

[jade quiver]

I just know

I’m cooked

[fallow stream]

Look instead of thinking you are cooked just remain neutral and the results may suprise you

[humble nova]

Yup could be before

[humble nova]

You never know

I didn’t think I’d make it into ucs itself and here we are

[wanton lance]

guys if i got into uci honors does that mean i have a possible shot at la or berkeley?

or are the chances way different still

[humble nova]

They aren’t indicators of one or another

[fallow stream]

you always have a shot but it isnt an indicator but congrats!

[tacit geode]

possibly i have no idea

[fallow stream]

when did it come out last year

yeah its weird

[tacit geode]

they dont even know lmao

[fallow stream]

yeah they do maybe they like it when students panic

[strong palm]

yea

[vale elk]

When does ucsd come outb

[fallow stream]

no confirmed date but based off previous years its either the 15th or 22th

but its leaning towards this friday

[vale elk]

Ah

Any idea on time?

[fallow stream]

around 3-5 pm

[vale elk]

Thanks!

[fallow stream]

you're welcome

[idle cosmos]

two more days yall

[strong palm]

technically its three day

[void fiber]

same for UCLA?

[spare path]

ucla was estimated the 22nd yeah

[void fiber]

isnt the rumor that both la and sd would come out early or neither?

not sure

also does anyone know why UCI ended up coming out so early? ;w; my hunch is that because of FAFSA delays they want to get students decisions in earlier so they have longer to put together aid packages since they're on more of a crunch

[gentle wyvern]

Seems like people are saying ucsd and ucla are 22nd

Although I’m not sure why ucsd said mid March

[pallid crater]

UC Irvine released early to piss people off 🔥

[royal steppe]

LMAO

[turbid ermine]

insane bruh

this is like 70% of the thread's total count

[pallid crater]

UC thread actually alive 😍

[turbid ermine]

fr

[royal steppe]

damn you can see stats like that?

[pallid crater]

It was basically empty for ages 😭

[turbid ermine]

i scraped the thread with a bot

[royal steppe]

o i see

interesting

did last years UC thread reach similar growth peaks during this time

[turbid ermine]

I’ll do that later

but also this is only people who have talked

there are probably more in lurkers

the perspective lmfao

[royal steppe]

o

[turbid ermine]

i can also see when this thread is most active time of day wise

[pallid crater]

Lmao the spike in late november

[turbid ermine]

and who is most active

[void fiber]

LOL

[turbid ermine]

most used words in here on friday

[twilit escarp]

LMAO

[lost heart]

LMAO

[teal coral]

bro

[topaz widget]

yeah

[topaz widget]

what about UCI

[turbid ermine]

ooh pretty

putting up tom brady level numbers

[gentle wyvern]

Let me add another UCI

I think this is a sign for me to take a break lol

[jade quiver]

a true hater doesn't take breaks

[turbid ermine]

same day

[twilit escarp]

@gentle wyvern

aint no way bro

[humble nova]

We should poll if we think it’s going to be the fifteenth or 22nd

[hidden cedar]

whered cooked

im so cooked

[woven urchin]

This just shows Irvine needs its own thread

cmon

I think its time

[hidden cedar]

also uci had its decision then so

[jade quiver]

im cooked

[woven urchin]

Davis did too

[turbid ermine]

It more shows people did not care about Irvine except for one day

[humble nova]

UCI thread would be filled with absolute hate

[hidden cedar]

yes but davis has its own thread

which is why theres less ppl here

[jade quiver]

because irvine rejection lol

single handedly made the school 10x more relevant

[twilit escarp]

imma be the first ucsc rejection on this server

it is unreal how bad my piqs were

[jade quiver]

nah mine were 10x worse

[strong palm]

Im so stressed

For waiting results for ucsd and ucla

I just hope it comes out asap

[spare path]

dont stress over decision dates, relax

[hidden cedar]

nah its me bro

im so cooked

[exotic finch]

what bot is that?

can u link me

[ember sierra]

dyu gys think decisions might come out this fri?

[agile wedge]

probably for SD yes

LA probably next friday

nothing confirmed tho for those 2

@ember sierra

[ember sierra]

ohhh thanks

hopefully theyre both this week

lol

[mild saffron]

fr the less waiting the better

i just want this college thing to be done guys i don't think my heart can take it any more (literally. i've been getting heart palpitations its mildly worrying)

[agile tree]

ruh roh

[radiant tendon]

i think someone worked out that LA and SD are gonna come out on fri march 22 instead ://

cuz they lined it up with when it came out in 2019 which is when the calendar matched 2024

[coarse dock]

more time for me to be delusional !!

[mild saffron]

Pain

[amber relic]

for LA my friend got unconfirmed leaks from the rowing coach that it will come out on friday

idk how factual it is

but thats what the coach supposedly said

[hidden osprey]

ucsb tomorrow?

[hidden cedar]

no its 19

[vocal horizon]

!ucsb

[obtuse coyote]

UC Santa Barbara RD Date

UC Santa Barbara RD decisions come out <t:1710885600:F> in your local time
6 days, 15 hours and 44 minutes until the decision date

ApplyingToCollege

[acoustic ibex]

yippee

[stark vine]

is naviance 100% accurate or are the admissions stats based on what students report on there

[coarse dock]

self-reported

for my school at least

[strong palm]

!ucsd

[stark vine]

okay okay because i swear more people got into certain schools last year based off the people i know

[strong palm]

!ucla

[humble nova]

There’s no command bc we don’t have a solid speculated date

[blissful raven]

what are the chances that ucla and ucsd push back to 22nd

and torture everyone for one more week

[exotic finch]

high

esp for ucla

[hushed terrace]

ucsd saying mid march in the email makes it seem like decisions will come out this fri

[honest vine]

aaaaaaa

dont do this to me

[jade quiver]

not likely for ucsd since they sent out an email saying mid march

[mild saffron]

Yeah ‘cause 22 is not mid-March I think

[strong palm]

true

[turbid ermine]

https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter I used a bot token

[queen stirrup]

does sd and la come out this friday im actually scared for my life

[turbid ermine]

SD I’ve changed my guess to yes

LA I think might be next bc they said late march

Ok so like the mid March email isn’t rly solid evidence tbh

But

Here is a calendar of March 2023

According to a college confidential thread last year, UCSD appeals were due March 31st

Which was a Friday as we can see

Decisions that year came out March 17

Two Fridays before

Here is a calendar of March 2024

On the last archive of the UCSD admissions page (taken March 1) it stated appeals were still due March 31, so I thought nothing of it

Until you look and see the current version of the same page says March 29, meaning within the last 12 days, they purposely changed this date

Two Fridays before March 29 2024 is this Friday March 15

Just like last year’s appeals gap

😄

[topaz widget]

😱

[turbid ermine]

I’m extremely smart for this be so fr

[jade quiver]

But that’s just a theory..

[vocal horizon]

damn so friday it is then probs

[jade quiver]

I’m probably cooked but hey worst case scenario I still have sjsu cs so

[vocal horizon]

hope ucla comes out too

[turbid ermine]

They claim late March and their appeals page isn’t the same

So I can’t measure

[jade quiver]

Would make more sense if it’s the 22nd

[plush coral]

wait so what's coming out this friday?

[turbid ermine]

Very likely UCSD

UCLA is possible but longer shot

[astral path]

did ucla send a date last year or did they just drop the decisions randomly

[turbid ermine]

Randomly

[plush coral]

they usually drop on fridays right?

[lusty turret]

That's actually very cool🫡

[soft cargo]

UCSD is on 15th?

[strong palm]

yep

[dark root]

surely

if UCSD is on the 15th

UCLA is also 15th

🙏

cuz last year ucsd and ucla were same day aye

[slim aurora]

someone mentioned on CC that UCLA is likely to be 15th as scholarship readers will receive essays the next day (16th)

[dark root]

mate legend

super helpful, throwing this into my calendar now!

"I have a friend who reads the UCLA scholarship essays and she always receives them the day after admissions are announced. She said she’s been told she’ll be receiving them this Sat, which further supports the thinking that admissions will be released Fri."

for reference

[slim aurora]

not sure if it's credible, just that someone mentioned

[dark root]

also the withdrawing your app thing is greyed out

apparently greys out a week before decisions conventionalyl

so i guess that's another sign

[topaz widget]

is this sarcasm i cant tell 💀

[dark root]

it's just from college confidential

i mean what's nice about anonymity

is that there's no good reason to spread misinformation

[slim aurora]

it's simple, the best hint to decisions being released is seeing an email from X university in your inbox notifying that there's a status update. 💯

[dark root]

it's just a total net negative thing to do

which i'm assuming the self-selected group of elite college applicants would be conscious of

[topaz widget]

ucla doesnt do that

[slim aurora]

that's unfortunate

[dark root]

they just randomly drop aye

[plush coral]

wait rlly?

[topaz widget]

ya

[dark root]

gonna love refreshing my portal every 30 mins

sorry did i say 30 mins

i mean 30 secs

[plush coral]

do they send email or just no email and u have to check portal yourself?

[topaz widget]

you're contributing to crashing the site

its a guessing game

[plush coral]

i will be contributing as well

[topaz widget]

UCLA knows its a one sided love affair 😩

[dark root]

classic prisoners dilemma

[plush coral]

don't remind me of ap micro

[dark root]

micro?

econ?

[plush coral]

yea....

[dark root]

damn you guys get taught that

crazy

[plush coral]

game theory

[dark root]

must've been nice haha

theres macroecon as well aye?

US system is so interesting

[slim aurora]

for the IB, we get taught microecon, macroecon and global economy

[dark root]

the bias towards liberal arts and multidisciplinary thinking is so cool

very much generalisation before later specialisation

[slim aurora]

for Higher Level students, there are some extra topics such as market structures, keynesian multiplier and Marshall-Lenner condition

[dark root]

in my country + i think the overall UK system i think you do like 3-4 A levels and that's it? like 3 subjects

and in UK unis you only study one subject

wild

IB is cool as asw

i tihnk it's a dope balance between breadth and depth

[slim aurora]

I was going through the AP curriculum for econ, wasn't satisfied with it

so I stuck to IB econ

[slim aurora]

indeed yeah but the overall thought is that A levels is more depth than IB

A levels also has Further Math which the IB removed in 2021 unfortunately

[dark root]

lol nice

[slim aurora]

mostly due to only 500-600 students taking it

[dark root]

yeah my local curriculum is like

you have to do english

and everything else is whatever you wanan do

haha

[slim aurora]

damn

[dark root]

like full autonomy if your school offers it

but every subject is scaled meaning the equiv of HL maths or further does crazy well

also chem, phys, latin do really well

[dark root]

but this is aids

i think the equivalent is eng lit + composition?

[slim aurora]

yeh IB is language & literature or literature (doesn't hve to be english) mandatory, math mandatory, one other language mandatory, two sciences and one humanities or one science and two humanities

[dark root]

oh yeah

i love the breadth

[slim aurora]

or one could go the irregular path and take three sciences and no humanities

[dark root]

i studied eng, maths + further x2, chem, latin + further, agriculture, and comp sci hah

[slim aurora]

ah interesting

[dark root]

so pretty biased to stem lol my hs was pretty infamous for that

and agriculture 💀

[slim aurora]

i have taken math analysis, physics, chemistry at HL, eco, spanish and english lang and lit at SL

[dark root]

the mandatory language is realyl interesting

[slim aurora]

or in other words how most IB students call it, the death combination lol

[dark root]

i think most colleges have that as well?

💀 LMAO

we have an asian 5

english, maths + further x2, chem, phys, econ

[slim aurora]

holy shit 💀

[dark root]

like it's literally called the asian 4

asian 5

[slim aurora]

i wish IB had kept the further math subject

it tested a good amount of year 1 and year 2 math concepts

[dark root]

https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1693581

[dark root]

lmao

yeah it's so interesting how educational systems translate over

i was looking at the oxford MAT

it was fascinating to see what they considered A level standard + further standard

cuz im assuming a level maths translates over to HL maths?

[slim aurora]

yeah

[dark root]

although i do find the AP system interesting

like being able to do 'college level' courses in year 9 (freshman year)

[slim aurora]

but we have two kinds of HL Math

[dark root]

it seems really interesting

are the kids goats or is the curriculum not as challenging

[slim aurora]

analysis which is considered the more rigorous option
and applications

[dark root]

or perhaps a mix of both

nice

pure vs applied maths? lol

[slim aurora]

i think it's a mix of both

kinda yeah

but the second option has very few calculus topics

it only goes so far to basic integral calculus

there is a lot more linear algebra in application math

[dark root]

Interesting

Yeah in my state we only went up to pretty tough integrals

[slim aurora]

math analysis has more on vectors, first and second order linear and non-linear ordinary differential equations, a little bit of linear algebra for vectors, proof-writing and complex numbers

[dark root]

nothing like linalg or multivar

nice

yeah I think we were in the middle of both

[dark root]

I’m curious

looking at my subjects

what major would you predict me to apply as

[uncut raft]

while learning lin alg

[slim aurora]

hm

[uncut raft]

i have never learned something so abstract yet so applicable

[dark root]

Haha mind elaborating?

[slim aurora]

i don't see physics which is a pretty common subject for many STEM students and a common combination for FM students

but you have taken chemistry and agriculture so perhaps I would lean more towards something chemistry related

[dark root]

Yeah I hated phys, bane of my existence for some reason

I hated chem and ag as well lol

[uncut raft]

u dont rlly know what matrices are used for until u interact with certain fields

like graphics

[slim aurora]

oh nevermind then

[slim aurora]

ah yes, linear algebra is a central aspect of gaussian blur

perhaps you will find abstract algebra interesting as well but it's not as applicable as linear algebra

[dark root]

applied as cogsci haha

[uncut raft]

i always thought image blurring was very intuitive

[dark root]

school didn’t offer the humanities part so I just followed curiosity in spare time

[uncut raft]

ic how this works now lmao

[hushed terrace]

what time did it come out last year

i’m not tryna have it drop during school

[uncut raft]

all of my decisions drop during the day time 🧐

[slim aurora]

everything has been coming out in the 2am to 4am range for me 💀

[uncut raft]

some of them right when school starts

[fiery linden]

Bro we don’t have 2nd order differential equations

Only 1st order

[uncut raft]

4am-8am for me

[hushed terrace]

oh you’re intl right
