All UCs 🐻🐮🐴🐱🐶🔱🤠🐌 (2023-2024)

[teal rivet]

Even if there’s rank

[jade quiver]

they look at your academic record

[teal rivet]

the school can have a valedictorian

[jade quiver]

relative to your school

[teal rivet]

Thats still bad

[jade quiver]

me lol

[teal rivet]

Nah I meant ppl who are valedictorian with 1010 sat 💀

[jade quiver]

oh yeah my school's average sat is terrible

[high pilot]

you are all cooked

[jade quiver]

But test blind/optional exists lol

so that saves them

[tidal gale]

man a kid in my school who was literally flunking several classes got 1580

[gloomy igloo]

Test blind literally saved me for real OMFG

[hollow beacon]

u dont need to go to class to get a 1580

[tidal gale]

fair point absolutely

[jade quiver]

I mean I knew a girl who had a > 1400 SAT and got into caltech

[teal rivet]

Yeah bro I got a 75 MAT score for Oxford and still got a 1510

[jade quiver]

So whatever works lol

[tidal gale]

woah 75 on the mat jow did you prepare

[teal rivet]

Cuz of the digital sat

[acoustic ibex]

I want to take a dsat for fun

[teal rivet]

I had a message here about the resources

I’ll try and find it

[tidal gale]

uh huh

[acoustic ibex]

They literally give you desmos on the exam

[kind jay]

A 1510 is very good

Wdym

[tidal gale]

my mat was horrid, 39

[jade quiver]

Life hack: Listening to the oppenheimer sountrack while studying gives you a 10% efficiency bonus

[teal rivet]

Yeah but I meant comparatively

[acoustic ibex]

It’s alright with dsat inflation

[tidal gale]

so was my sat lmfao(1480)

[teal rivet]

not as good as the MAT score

[kind jay]

Idk about dsat inflation

[teal rivet]

when MAT tests harder skills

[acoustic ibex]

It’s ridiculous

[hollow beacon]

i hate class

[acoustic ibex]

Desmos solos the entire math section

[jade quiver]

lol

[kind jay]

They give you desmos?

[acoustic ibex]

Yep

[tidal gale]

glad high school is over, not gonna remember one second of this hell

[teal rivet]

Lmao tbh Desmos makes u cheat

[jade quiver]

Personally I prefer paper exams because you can annotate and I feel like I make more mistakes on digital bubbles

[teal rivet]

just quickly use it

[kind jay]

Eh whatever that wouldn’t have helped me the only question I got wrong was a geometry one

[teal rivet]

And don’t need to have a hassle

[tidal gale]

very real

[jade quiver]

studying for the ACT is something I do not want to go back to

[hollow beacon]

true digital exams are ass

[tidal gale]

tests this year werent particularly a blast for me oof

[hollow beacon]

idk about SAT

[jade quiver]

I still have AP exams though lol

[teal rivet]

My eyes hurt from the reading section

[hollow beacon]

but in general paper are better

[teal rivet]

I hate reading off a screen

[kind jay]

Studying for Standardized testing is overrated

[teal rivet]

Yeah

[acoustic ibex]

Omg that reminds me

[hollow beacon]

you can go back and re do shit more easily

[kind jay]

Get 4 hours of sleep and take it

[tidal gale]

even more than the academics, just everything was shit

[jade quiver]

Yeah they give you small blocks of the reading apparently

instead of the whole passage

[hollow beacon]

deadass

[kind jay]

Got a 1580 that way

[acoustic ibex]

I took the AP Lang exam on a Chromebook and never got the score because the Chromebook glitched

[kind jay]

😁

[jade quiver]

true, my highschool experience is not exactly the most memorable

[acoustic ibex]

Never trusting digital exams again after that one

[hollow beacon]

i sold english got 700 so 1500

[teal rivet]

nah standardized tests like A levels/AP should be the norm then internal class grades should be examined as a secondary source for more info

[kind jay]

If that was the case I’d get in everywhere lmao

[acoustic ibex]

Can’t be doing that here, AP classes are very dependent on teachers too

[teal rivet]

😂

[tidal gale]

is 3 on ap stats like too bad?

[jade quiver]

Also true

[teal rivet]

Same 😭

[kind jay]

My AP scores +sat are set

[teal rivet]

No

[kind jay]

But colleges want more than just a student

[teal rivet]

I think 3+ is fine

[jade quiver]

No, any credit is credit lol

[kind jay]

They want someone generating value

[hollow beacon]

what ap courses u got

[jade quiver]

Depends on school

[teal rivet]

Cuz they don’t care about ur external grades

[acoustic ibex]

My grades are fine but essays are terrible

[teal rivet]

Just internal ones

[acoustic ibex]

Combination for failure

[hollow beacon]

no u still get credit and ap scores dont contribute to ur college gpa

[tidal gale]

as a math major, it just feels embarassing

[hollow beacon]

i think u will get for stat 100 lower courses

[teal rivet]

Stupid curriculum 😭 cuz teachers can have bias

[tidal gale]

its a bit embarassing when ur boutta major in math sadly

[acoustic ibex]

Credit is credit

[teal rivet]

external assessments

[obtuse scroll]

let me in then!!

[teal rivet]

Have less bias

[kind jay]

5 on human geo psych bio ap euro ap stats apush ap lit calc ab and physics 1

[acoustic ibex]

Exactly I’m dying in physics because the other class gets way more info

[kind jay]

And a few a levels

[hollow beacon]

u can take ap exams by self studying tho

[jade quiver]

Nah not really, you're still a highschooler so

[hollow beacon]

are you intl or oos

[jade quiver]

It could've been dependant on your teacher

[kind jay]

Cuz our school partners with Cambridge

[jade quiver]

and other factors

[kind jay]

For some odd reason

[tidal gale]

but tbf i self studied for it last week with every ounce of juice i had alongside 4 other ap's

[kind jay]

Oos

[jade quiver]

not necessarily your knowledge

[acoustic ibex]

Just talking about class grades not the exam

[teal rivet]

Nah man it’s fine I got a C in one of my further maths modules

Dus to medical issues

Then explained them

[tidal gale]

how i got out of it alive will never make sense to me

[teal rivet]

and they’re fine with it

[tidal gale]

ooh

[teal rivet]

Lmao

[kind jay]

@teal rivet do you know anything about the aice international curriculum compared to the British one

[teal rivet]

mechanics >>> stats

[jade quiver]

I definitely did not deserve an A in AP Biology ngl

[high pilot]

anyone doing ib

[teal rivet]

aice as in Cambridge ?

[tidal gale]

i didnt study at all for mech cuz it was all grade 11 curriculum here

so i just winged it and got a 4

[teal rivet]

Same with me

[kind jay]

Yeah

Our school offers Aice international as and a levels

[tidal gale]

calc ab curve was tuff thought id have a 5 but could only do 4

[teal rivet]

I do IALs edexcel and did CS cie

[kind jay]

Nice

[jade quiver]

i bombed calc bc's frqs lol

[tidal gale]

ye self study

[jade quiver]

That milk frq had me messed up

[teal rivet]

Ngl APs are easy

[acoustic ibex]

Im self studying calc bc but I haven’t started yet is it joever

[teal rivet]

compared to other curricula

[jade quiver]

do you know Calc AB content

[teal rivet]

and then we don’t even get more or even any credit

[acoustic ibex]

Alright ima have to ask you to stop there not everyone has it easy

[tidal gale]

friend took bc and had to like cancel his score at one point, im happy with taking ab

[acoustic ibex]

Got a 5

[teal rivet]

I’m talking credit wise

[tidal gale]

altho i do know the material now for bc

[jade quiver]

you should be chilling

[acoustic ibex]

Oh

[tidal gale]

seconded

[craggy vault]

1/n converge or diverge

[jade quiver]

BC is like 80% AB content

[acoustic ibex]

Probably lol

[teal rivet]

Like Unis don’t take that into account

[jade quiver]

But series is probably gonna take a little bit

[teal rivet]

And take APs and IBs more easily for credit compared to A levels

[tidal gale]

series is just gonna take a lil used to but all ab part can be grinded in a week

(like i did)

[teal rivet]

To infinity?

[tidal gale]

unlike stats where i couldnt remember a damn thing in the exam

[craggy vault]

infinite series

[tidal gale]

it diverges?

[teal rivet]

well technically diverge

but I saw some stupid YouTube shit

[tidal gale]

going by feel

[craggy vault]

yessir 5 on AP Calc BC for u 💀

[teal rivet]

😭

[teal rivet]

Where this guy was doing some witchcraft

[acoustic ibex]

Yeah nah that’s dumb

[teal rivet]

with infinite series

[acoustic ibex]

A levels are wild

[teal rivet]

Fr

[tidal gale]

is it, idk man i did ab so idrk man

[astral path]

@floral star

[acoustic ibex]

Yeah gotta study that over spring break

[floral star]

lmao😭😭

[jade quiver]

i just saw the most cracked application on the internet and I will now reinforce the fact that I am cooked

[high pilot]

where

[digital needle]

when do we think ucsd and ucla could come out tmrw?

[teal rivet]

bruh just chill lol

[jade quiver]

person from tiktok

[teal rivet]

😭

[jade quiver]

whenever they decide to release

[high pilot]

what major

[teal rivet]

but apparently 4 smth est

[jade quiver]

aerospace

lowkey its chill because im cs

but still

[teal rivet]

Aero mfs always cracked

[jade quiver]

fr

[teal rivet]

wait are u talking about those apps by limmytalks

that guy is my biggest opp

[jade quiver]

she was a tutor for every stem field imagineable

no

[high pilot]

niche major

[teal rivet]

ok good

[jade quiver]

I don't really think aero is exactly niche but

[kind jay]

Limmytalks is a fraud

[teal rivet]

Ik a guy who’s aero hang on 😭

[kind jay]

Every engineering kid I know wants to do aero

And work for lockheed

[teal rivet]

This is bros academic history

He at MIT too

MIT CSAIL

[kind jay]

Does bro want to do anymore studying while he’s at it?

[acoustic ibex]

Bro how

[teal rivet]

He’s my most valued LinkedIn connection 😭

[acoustic ibex]

How do people do this stuff

[teal rivet]

Idk how bro accepted my invitation to connect

[high pilot]

niche as in a lot of applicants are actually invested

compared to generally popular majors

[teal rivet]

Well tbh PhD is more dependent on actual work and not holistic

[teal rivet]

so that’s where we excel

[acoustic ibex]

Yeah I’m super worried about work in the future

[teal rivet]

Nah

He’s like 1 in 100000

And I doubt those names are as important

[acoustic ibex]

Even more insane

[teal rivet]

also this is the work of years

and not an overnight one

but he kinda went psycho

Who does that many masters

It’s redundant

[acoustic ibex]

😭

[high pilot]

theres no need to be like him unless its truly ur life passion

[kind jay]

Those people need to save our world

From like climate change

And shit

[high pilot]

not really, theres more that people in power could do but...

[teal rivet]

Nah tbh tho

Some older people

And more experienced researchers said

It’s not necessary

And that he kinda is going crazy with it

[high pilot]

What are you majoring in

[kind jay]

Stop subsidizing the oil industry‼️

[teal rivet]

CS

Or EE

[high pilot]

At Oxford?

[teal rivet]

Or applied maths for Yale 💀

[teal rivet]

Got in but waiting for other decisions

[high pilot]

is there a cs admissions test

[sullen sage]

what’s the bee in ur name

[teal rivet]

No it’s called the MAT

[teal rivet]

It’s for maths and cs

[high pilot]

only one test

oh

[teal rivet]

Although standards for maths are lower than cs

[teal rivet]

No u gotta get good a levels

[high pilot]

is ap calc bc enough for it

[teal rivet]

Not rlly not even a level maths or further maths

Aof problem solving is good tho

[soft cargo]

which one are we waiting for here

[high pilot]

hm just search up the topics on there?

[teal rivet]

I’m out rn but when I’m back I’ll try and get u my resources list

[high pilot]

kk thx

[lost heart]

bruh

[acoustic ibex]

oh great my parents get to be disappointed in me one week early

[void musk]

Ucla the 15th?????

[agile wedge]

wait

[fallow stream]

yikess if that's true then its twoo in one day again.

[agile wedge]

How do we believe him

[void musk]

We dont

[fallow stream]

we just wait and see

[void musk]

we just gotta see tmr

[agile wedge]

Man I hope it ain’t true

Can’t do 2 in 1

it’ll be 3 in 2 days (CWRU, UCSD, and UCLA)

3 rejections

I’ll die

[fallow stream]

nooo stay hopeful

we dont know yet

[agile wedge]

I can’t do this fr

[void musk]

you got cwru man i got in oos w mid stats🙏🙏

[agile wedge]

I’m OOS w/ mid stats I don’t believe this

[charred dune]

HUHH

CWRU IS TMR

[agile wedge]

Nah allegedly Saturday

Idk it feels weird

Like I have Davis in my pocket already

Which is great

But these decisions may break my heart

[void musk]

lucky man i got waitlisted from davis

[charred dune]

so ur telling me

pomona college
ucla
ucsd
cwru

quadruple whammy…..

[void musk]

Uwash too for me😭

wait thats tn

[charred dune]

what’s uwash

washu in st louis

or university of washington

[void musk]

university of Washington seattle

[charred dune]

udubb

ohhhh

[agile wedge]

Quad whammy indeed

rip

[charred dune]

it’s okay i have berkeley 😭😭😭

[agile wedge]

Yeah true

[charred dune]

ucla pls pls p spampls pls

[agile wedge]

Bro is better off than me wtf

You’re good bro

[charred dune]

ucla tho

[agile wedge]

you got the best public uni in the country

[charred dune]

is it actually

[void musk]

Foreeal i would be ecstatic if i got ucla or berkeley

[charred dune]

i think it’s bc i live near berkeley

so it just looks so normal

LOL

[cold vector]

UCSD been posting on their TikTok a lot

I’ll bet it comes out tomorrow

[teal rivet]

I’m predicting UCSD acceptance

UCLA rejection

cuz I have deja vu

In basically everything

[void musk]

type shit

[teal rivet]

it’s gonna mimic UCDAVIS acceptance UCIrvine rejection for me

[teal rivet]

Fr 😭

[agile wedge]

UCLA supposedly tomorrow

I’m going to die

[teal rivet]

SD>>> LA

[teal rivet]

it probably is

Deja vu happens with me a lot so ik sort how my predictions will go

idk how to explain it it’s not rlly Deja vu

but if something happens to me once

Something similar will happen again

like SDSU acceptance made me predict I’ll get into cal poly slo too

so I’m thinking its gonna be SD accepted but not LA like Davis accepted but not Irvine

[barren nest]

i dunno how you can predict UCs like that

[agile wedge]

I think I get screwed out of UCSD and UCLA

I’m not competitive enough

[jade quiver]

I think I get cooked by every uc

[teal rivet]

Trust me

the rule of two will occur

and we’re gonna both get the same acceptances 😭

[agile wedge]

Nah man the only rule of two applying tomorrow is me getting rejected from 2 UCs

[void musk]

dis mf the uc sorcerer right here

[teal rivet]

😂 well u gotta see

[teal rivet]

Fr

nah the rule of two applies to my life if something happens once something similar will happen again later

[agile wedge]

I really don’t wanna tho fr
UCLA has been a school I’ve really liked and grown up around for years
Going 17 years of life to build up for a rejection would deflate me

[void musk]

whats ur prediction on my davis waitlist and irvine reject gang

let me know

[agile wedge]

but then again I haven’t ever gotten into a very high reach

[teal rivet]

Tbh just forget about those feelings

[agile wedge]

The best reach by percentage I got into was 30%

[teal rivet]

Irvine sucks ngl

they rejected overqualified applicants

And accepted mid ones

[void musk]

not all hope is lost ig

[acoustic ibex]

pray to rnjesus because there's nothing else you can do

[soft cargo]

oh fuck

[jade quiver]

It’s over

[tiny lance]

how certain is ucla tmrw

[steel matrix]

i hope not certain

[tiny lance]

is this a manifest cuz if not why do u care lol

oh I j read ur profile

[steel matrix]

because i don’t want my friday ruined

[tiny lance]

I’m anyways gonna have it ruined by uchicago

might as well have another decision

[wanton lance]

Yea no one knows

We’ll find out ig

[mossy panther]

No portal astrology

[vocal notch]

UCLA date?

[random saffron]

tmr likely

[nimble gulch]

What is portal astrology 🙏🏽

[mossy panther]

#📜-rules should have a definition.

[lament pilot]

I feel like if it was tomorrow they would have said so by now

[blissful zealot]

I can’t read

Can you braille

[nimble gulch]

That’s what I’m saying!!

[misty bough]

#1135712327849738300 message

[nimble gulch]

Hiw is saying what my gut feeling is portal astrology 💀 I never even referenced the portal

[gentle wyvern]

Stop

[mossy panther]

Not necessarily you who did it

It’s a general reminder to the thread

[nimble gulch]

Oh I thought you deleted my messagw

My bad buddy

[cosmic onyx]

wasnt there no warning from irvine?

[limpid goblet]

yea

only one person said it was coming out and no one believed them

then surprise surprise

[hushed terrace]

i didn’t get to mentally prepare myself for irvine that day ☹️☹️

[astral path]

i saw chloe say that they dropped with no warning last year

[lofty crown]

Irvine had no reason to drop like that fr

[hushed terrace]

ong ruined my day that was going so well

[plush coral]

yea it dropped at like 9am for me

ruined my day

[jade quiver]

Davis gave me a gut punch and then tagged in Irvine to finish the job 💀

[gentle wyvern]

Feel screwed for the UCs tmr

[jade quiver]

Ucsd please give me a chance

I’m about to do some crystal ritual tonight

[agile tree]

unblock my chakras while youre at it won’t’cha

[agile wedge]

i have a ritual where i get the college's merch and rub it over my arms

worked for davis

[jade quiver]

I’m too broke for merch

I’ll just print out a picture of the campus or something

[agile wedge]

when i mean merch i mean anything

like a poster

or somethin

even a pamphlet

[topaz glacier]

no drug talk

[jade quiver]

I’m going to put ucsd’s logo under my pillow when I sleep

Tooth fairy magic

[agile tree]

gonna go to sleep in my cmu shirt

wait wrong thread

[blissful zealot]

I love medicine, pew pew medicine helps get rid of my infections

Take that kafky

[agile tree]

i’ll just wear blue ig (no uc merch)

[acoustic ibex]

a new challenger approaches

[atomic fulcrum]

dont know if this has been sent alr but i know some people r using this as a pointer towards tmr ucla

https://youtu.be/zZQono1CbqM?si=ptVUrT0mG8ku9DEU&t=712

not confirmed tho

[grizzled tundra]

what time tmrw will ucsd drop if anyone knows?

[tired heath]

previous yrs indicate prolly 3-4ish pst?

they send an email notif

[tawny grove]

guys whats in irvine that would make me want to go? 🤔

[jade quiver]

Asians

[agile tree]

LA

[tawny grove]

only applied cuz i saw a hot asian on tiktok who goes there

[agile tree]

damn

[jade quiver]

You and everyone else

[limber cipher]

it’s a nice area

and that acceptance rate makes it like nice too LMAO

[last vigil]

wassup buys

guys*

[outer gyro]

micro center, if you’re a computer person

[tawny grove]

omg ur right

[last vigil]

fr?/

[indigo moon]

So LA and San Diego are prob dropping tmmrw right?

[jade quiver]

I don’t know about La

[last vigil]

ngl i truly wonder

what the point of uc merced and ucsc are

[jade quiver]

Idk about Merced

[last vigil]

whats the point of it tho

[outer gyro]

i’m excited for y’all

[last vigil]

🤨

really

[royal steppe]

man kinda scared too

[outer gyro]

which of you are going to end up here this fall

[last vigil]

i mean i'd rather like

go to cc for 2 years

then transfer

to la or berkeley

[jade quiver]

Merced is just the safety funnel ig

Basically last resort

[agile tree]

i mean they arent bad schools, some people would happily attend and good for then

[last vigil]

i guess my pre med mindset is going to my head

all the uc's are bad for me

[agile tree]

also transferring between UCs might be easiest

[jade quiver]

Or maybe Merced could become one of those schools where their acceptance starts high and then slowly becomes more selective lol

[quartz tide]

i think you are guaranteed to be accepted by merced if you are top 9% of your gruaduation class

for ca resident

[agile tree]

you still sound better than some chanceme kids

[last vigil]

guys dont 💀

med school acceptance for them is very horrible

considering their ranking

[agile tree]

ok fair enough

[last vigil]

[jade quiver]

do you mean csu Berkeley and uc east bay

[agile tree]

ucla nursing shudders

[last vigil]

nah i aint even touching

nursing majors

you didn't understand what i said

i said people who go to those schools have mid acceptances to any med school

[agile tree]

OHHHH

makes sense now

[last vigil]

yea like i'd rather legit just

go to cc and transfer to a private

if it goes to that point

[jade quiver]

Maybe I got rejected from Irvine because of yield 🙏 (copium fuel)

[last vigil]

dw my man

99% of my friends got waitlisted

the only people who didn't get waitlisted were niche majors

[indigo moon]

WL gang

UCs are funny

[last vigil]

gotta love it when you tried so hard to get into berkeley

[indigo moon]

tune in tomorow at 3 pm pst to find out how funny they become

[last vigil]

then realize their clubs have lower acceptance rates than harvard

[indigo moon]

stanford rejects.com

[ivory nimbus]

Evil gang 😈

[last vigil]

when does stanford come out

[jade quiver]

I didn’t apply to Stanford

Wish I did though

Not like I would’ve gotten in lol

[last vigil]

whats your stats

if you dont mind resonding

[jade quiver]

Who are you asking

[last vigil]

you

[jade quiver]

Oh

4.35 w, rank 1/400, my act is a little kid but it’s like a 33

For uc it’s a 4.5

[last vigil]

why dind't bro

didn't*

[acoustic ibex]

those are good stats bro

[last vigil]

apply to stanford

[limpid goblet]

yo ur cracked

[jade quiver]

Ngl I missed the deadline lmao

[blissful zealot]

Uc weighted cap out at 4.33

[limpid goblet]

r ur stats better than meemee's 🧍‍♀️

[last vigil]

act kinda mid though still competitive

[jade quiver]

that’s the one that shows up on my transcript

[acoustic ibex]

i hate the uc cap bruh my 10-11 gpa on my school transcript is 4.78

[kind jay]

Halo‼️

[jade quiver]

I was 1 point away from a 34

But I didn’t want to retake it

[acoustic ibex]

although lets be real that wouldn't be enough for uci this year

[last vigil]

fr

[last vigil]

lmao

[jade quiver]

Meemee got better results than me ngl

[last vigil]

i hope you know stanford superscores it

[jade quiver]

Yeah ik

[limpid goblet]

his personality aint it though

[last vigil]

so you could have made it like a 35

[acoustic ibex]

trolled

[jade quiver]

No that was my superscore lmao

[last vigil]

gg tho

[acoustic ibex]

oh

[kind jay]

Your uncapped is a 4.78?

[limpid goblet]

u seem well rounded overall though

[last vigil]

my sat superscore is competitive

[acoustic ibex]

yeah

[jade quiver]

No

[last vigil]

my normal sat scores are

[kind jay]

Was talking ab math wizard

[acoustic ibex]

i think (?) uc takes all of my school honors courses as well

[jade quiver]

Oh lol

[acoustic ibex]

and dual enrollment

[kind jay]

UCLA uses weighted uncapped more tho

You’re chill

[last vigil]

i got the ucla supplemental

[acoustic ibex]

im still cooked either way lol

[kind jay]

4.78 is like above the 75th percentile for most majors

[last vigil]

im i bing chilling?

[kind jay]

Was it for a special talent

[last vigil]

no

just normal supplemental

[kind jay]

Damn what did it ask lmao

[last vigil]

just 2 more essays

[kind jay]

Yeah it means they want to know more about you

[acoustic ibex]

dang im 100% cooked then

my essays sucked and they do not want to know more

[last vigil]

hope you know if they send you supplementals you are more likely to get waitlisted

[jade quiver]

So if I get no supplementals then I’m rejected?

[acoustic ibex]

well in my case not sending me supplementals probably means im more likely to get rejected

[last vigil]

[kind jay]

No

[last vigil]

depends on extracirculars ngl

[kind jay]

It means you’re on the cusp

[last vigil]

grades for uc's mean little to nothing

[kind jay]

@jade quiver They send it if they have a split committee I think

[kind jay]

Not for y la

[last vigil]

since everyone got above a 3.5

[kind jay]

Ucla

[last vigil]

and no sat

[kind jay]

UCLA is very gpa heavy

[last vigil]

true

[jade quiver]

Piqs probably are weighted a lot more imo

[last vigil]

lmao

[kind jay]

A ranking was sent back here where gpa was first followed by piqs and ecs

Berkeley is more ec heavy supposedly

[novel cave]

are you saying this with a straight face

[last vigil]

essays and ecs make more

ignoring ucla

[jade quiver]

Yeah berk def weighs your ECs/essays more

[last vigil]

man

i used to idealize ucla and berkeley

[acoustic ibex]

🙏

save me ucla

[gentle wyvern]

Thus I am cooked

[last vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/praying-gif-3348052254980566268

[gentle wyvern]

I think I’m roughly 70/777 in ranking

[last vigil]

eyyy

top 10%

nice

[gentle wyvern]

Tbh I don’t feel good abt ucla and ucsd

[last vigil]

whats your stats bud

[gentle wyvern]

Two dream schools

[gentle wyvern]

3.93 uw and 4.36 uncapped gpa, 5 aps before senior year

[last vigil]

👍

you are fine

are you from socal?

[gentle wyvern]

Ya

[last vigil]

worst case scenario

[gentle wyvern]

I genuinely don’t think so. I applied data sci

[last vigil]

you do cc for 2 years

and transfer to ucla

[gentle wyvern]

I got into Davis so probably commit there

[acoustic ibex]

davis is good

[last vigil]

depends on the person

first 2 years is basically the same education

[gentle wyvern]

I am considering cc

Won’t lie

[last vigil]

between all california schools

unless you are stanford

[jade quiver]

Stanford kids drop out the first 2 years to build their startups

[last vigil]

if they are cs majors

pre med majors like me suffer

[jade quiver]

The Mark Zuckerberg effect smh

[acoustic ibex]

med school debt is going to hit so hard

[gentle wyvern]

Here’s the thing I’m so doubtful cuz of uci

[last vigil]

depends if you are poor

or rich

[jade quiver]

Same

[gentle wyvern]

That rejection makes me wonder abt ucsd and ucla greatly

[last vigil]

if you are middle class its rip

[jade quiver]

Plus I applied cs so I’m cooked

[gentle wyvern]

I did get in Davis

[acoustic ibex]

im middle

[last vigil]

dude

[acoustic ibex]

gg

[jade quiver]

I got waitlisted cs Davis lol

[last vigil]

UCI means jack

[jade quiver]

Not looking good

[acoustic ibex]

they are literally unrelated

1000%

[last vigil]

we legit have a MIT guy here who got rejected from UCi

[jade quiver]

Good point

[last vigil]

stay strong @gentle wyvern

[mild saffron]

bro i'm in the exact same situation as you. uci has me genuinely worried

[last vigil]

stay strong

[mild saffron]

ik it's unreasonable

[jade quiver]

Stand proud @gentle wyvern you are strong

[gentle wyvern]

lol

[mild saffron]

but man

[last vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/stay-hard-run-workout-do-you-running-gif-17251391

[gentle wyvern]

I luv Gojo

[mild saffron]

i cannot convince myself 💀

[last vigil]

remember cc for 2 years to ucla is viable

with basically same education

maybe even better

[mild saffron]

true true less debt

[gentle wyvern]

Neither can I

[mild saffron]

i just keep

staring at my scoir

[gentle wyvern]

But tbh things happen for a reason

[mild saffron]

hoping it'll make me feel better

[jade quiver]

Honestly I already have sjsu cs and I would definitely be down to go there

[gentle wyvern]

Def. End of the day what college u attend doesn’t matter, but I think rejections just hurt in general cuz I mean it’s like the results of ur hard work, which is the reason for why I’d feel down

[acoustic ibex]

as the strongest curse @gentle wyvern fought the fraud, the king of curses uci

[gentle wyvern]

lol

[acoustic ibex]

but nah you'd win

[gentle wyvern]

Appreciate the goods words

[last vigil]

ehhh depends on major

for the college

[acoustic ibex]

meanwhile i am getting rejected from ucsd tomorrow 🔥

[jade quiver]

Yeah ik how it feels, you’re definitely not alone though

[last vigil]

for uc's? yea it dont matter lmao

privates are a different story

[jade quiver]

Cs definitely matters lol

[last vigil]

2 year cc to berkeley pipeline

[mild saffron]

we are in this together ppl

[jade quiver]

I knew a kid who did that

[mild saffron]

stay strong soliders o7

[jade quiver]

Honestly not a bad plan

[last vigil]

yea

the general ed for the first 2 years legit the same

[mild saffron]

ik a lot of people who have done that actually

mostly for financial reasons

its a lot cheaper

[last vigil]

• mostly the same

[mild saffron]

yup yup

[last vigil]

cc pipeline is a good pipline

[acoustic ibex]

i took so many ap/dual enrollment i can probably skip almost two years as it is so i do not want to be rejected

[mild saffron]

i'm trying to decide

how stupid it would be

to open my ucsd decision at ucsd

either it will be fun or absolutely miserable

[last vigil]

who cares dude lol

cc pipeline is guaranteed top school

though i get your plea

i hope you get in

[acoustic ibex]

appreciate it man

[last vigil]

ngl

i'm probably not going to any uc

so if anyone here gets waitlisted

i will actively contribute to you getting in

by not accepting the offer

[lilac herald]

guys

san diego tmrw ucla next week right?

[last vigil]

pretty sure yea

ucla is an odd ball

[gentle wyvern]

La might be tmr

[lilac herald]

id be down for la tomorrow

if i get in my spring break will be elite

[mild saffron]

do you already have another place lined up?

[last vigil]

no

i gambled my life applying to only top 50 schools

0 safties

[mild saffron]

orp

[last vigil]

i mean statistically

im getting into 1

at least

[mild saffron]

HELP

real though

[last vigil]

[mild saffron]

i applied to one safety

wait

[last vigil]

which

[mild saffron]

2

[last vigil]

for what

[mild saffron]

i forgot about asu

applied to reed college for neuroscience and visual arts

[last vigil]

nice

[mild saffron]

reed is actually so nice to me i kinda wanna go

[misty bough]

what do you guys think the average applicant gpa for ucla is?

[limpid siren]

yeah and i heard steve jobs also went there

[last vigil]

Depends lol

You have the smart kids and dumb kids applying to it

For free

[limpid siren]

probably 3.8-4.0 unweighted

[misty bough]

i think 3.5-3.8 as a collective average

[last vigil]

It's 3.93

[misty bough]

admitted or applied?

[limpid siren]

HAHAHHA 😭 what is that emoji

[misty bough]

the admitted gpa will be way higher

[quartz tide]

3.93 unweighted damn

[gentle wyvern]

prob not bro 💀

[last vigil]

Dude

You're fine

[acoustic ibex]

3.93 is unrealistic

3.8 makes sense for applicant

[last vigil]

Remember cc pipeline

[acoustic ibex]

oh yeah

[misty bough]

they dont even post the applicant gpas

however they do breakdown weighted gpa

here wait

[last vigil]

3.9 might be the weighted

Which is

[gentle wyvern]

no im saying it prob isnt cuz of different factors, like school context having no aps and such

[misty bough]

https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/about-us/information-center/freshman-admissions-summary

here

[last vigil]

Do you got good ecs?

[misty bough]

around 57 percent of peopkle had a weighted gpa over 4.0

[gentle wyvern]

me or someone else?

[last vigil]

U

[misty bough]

meaning 43 had aweighted gpa less than 4.0

also,

[gentle wyvern]

ig so id say ecs and essays were the best for me. tbh my ecs are prob avg for a2c

[last vigil]

You'll be fine dude

At the end of the day the degree is the same

[misty bough]

70% of ucla applicants have less than 10 honors courses

[last vigil]

Your ec's in college matter more to your job than the college if we're going the uc route

[last vigil]

Lol

[misty bough]

the admit rate for those with 10 or mnore honors courses was 16%

[lament pilot]

Ok but what time IF AT ALL will LA/SD decisions release

[honest vine]

wait did any UC come out today

[lament pilot]

Btw cause I don’t wanna be waiting all day 💀

[misty bough]

between 3-5

[lament pilot]

Pst?

[misty bough]

yes

[acoustic ibex]

not terrible

[misty bough]

yeah defintely

[exotic finch]

rejected

not shocking - oos cs

[novel cave]

hm?

[covert arch]

?

[honest vine]

uwash prob

[gentle wyvern]

are we talking like if u took 5 honors in one semester and another 5 honors second semester does the equate to 10 honors or no cuz thats how ucs calculate gpa

[jade quiver]

Yeah it’s uw

[misty bough]

its saying

between 10th and 12th grade

planned or taken year long honors courses

Honors courses – the number of yearlong courses taken or planned in 10th-12th grades. These are Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate Higher Level (IB HL) and designated Standard Level (IB SL) courses, UC-transferable college courses and (for students from CA high schools) UC-certified honors courses: https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/freshman-requirements/gpa-requirement.html.

[gentle wyvern]

ya but im asking like is it by semester, so if i took 5 honors 1st and second does that mean i took 10

[misty bough]

yearlong

so no

not by semester

[gentle wyvern]

oh ok

ya oh well its not looking good i took only 6 honors

[mild saffron]

And immediately dropped out lmao

[jade quiver]

I think it depends on how much your school offers

[gentle wyvern]

we offer a bit too much like roughly 20 id say

[orchid sedge]

alright nothing else matters rn

i gotta lock in for ucsd and ucla (the decision has already been made)

[agile wedge]

@limpid goblet did you get in?

[limpid goblet]

[limpid goblet]

but its like riding a bike yk

[heady cobalt]

YES we got THIS TRUST

[balmy laurel]

praying for ucsd

[heady cobalt]

all we need is one really good school guys

[balmy laurel]

hopefully if i get in its not undeclared major

[honest vine]

im hoping so but realistically its not happening for me

sadge

[nova bridge]

my cc said ti was a tweener + (meaning between reach and target)

he said santa clara was a reach -

and well i did get deferred so

[balmy laurel]

neu is not a reach if u ed ig

[nova bridge]

his reasoning is that they want to fill seats

[balmy laurel]

yeah they should just put supplemental essays

instead of this 5% acceptance rate bs

[nova bridge]

i didnt originally ed i only did it after ea deferral

[royal steppe]

also instate
confidence low after double reject form davis and irvine

[balmy laurel]

oh ed 2?

[misty bough]

got into uci n davis n i still got low confidence 😭

[honest vine]

bro

[nova bridge]

yup

[honest vine]

sahpit get ur head up

irvine is no joke

congrats, and u deserve it

[misty bough]

its random tho bruh

[nova bridge]

nah

[honest vine]

nah

[nova bridge]

only super cracked kids at my school got it

[heady cobalt]

bro same.. idk where i went wrong

[balmy laurel]

i was going to but i didnt wanna go through the process of getting out of the ed agreement if i wanted to go somewhere else

[heady cobalt]

even the cracked kids at my school didnt get into uci or ucd bro

[royal steppe]

SAME

[honest vine]

yea ikr, i thought davis was easy

and got rejected frm davis and riverside

[misty bough]

i think alot depends on majro

[honest vine]

goddamn riverside

[gentle wyvern]

all the cracked kids in my school got in both with regents, one got in and has to only 10k in tuition ahhhhhh

[nova bridge]

idk anyone that got rejected from riverside only wl

[agile wedge]

I mean ig

[honest vine]

now uk me :_D

[nova bridge]

was it for cs

[honest vine]

yej

[nova bridge]

cs at riverside is hard afaik

[jade quiver]

Maybe cs could be reasonable because apparently it’s like a 30% ar

[honest vine]

ikr

20%-ish

[balmy laurel]

nah but sjsu on top

[nova bridge]

yeah

[honest vine]

YES

[misty bough]

i applied BME

[honest vine]

FINALLY SOMEONE SANE

[heady cobalt]

bro if uci and ucd was so low this year , i cant imagine how ucsd, uci, or ucla will be 😭

[jade quiver]

Fr sjsu is my savior

[honest vine]

dude exactly

thats why ive lost all hope

and why im making myself like SJSU my beloved

[jade quiver]

Ucsd is the 2nd most applied uc this year apparently lol

[jade quiver]

Same

[heady cobalt]

like real bro

[honest vine]

more than ucb????

[balmy laurel]

how is it 2nd wtf

[jade quiver]

Yes

[honest vine]

howww

dam

[balmy laurel]

bruh we fucked

[jade quiver]

Probably because the campus is better

[honest vine]

nahhh berkeley campus is GORGEOUS

ucsd is just brutalistic cement architecture

[jade quiver]

Debatable, housing could be better lol

[granite dirge]

unfortunately its located at a trash city

[gentle wyvern]

why does everyone want this school. like back off its mine

[balmy laurel]

nah wait less applications to ucb means easier to get in

trust

[jade quiver]

Fr give me a chance

[honest vine]

nah the berkeley outskirts and bayrea in general is great

[jade quiver]

The quality of applicants is probably higher

[granite dirge]

thats definitely not true lol

[jade quiver]

Oakland though

[granite dirge]

too much gang activity

[balmy laurel]

blacktivities

[honest vine]

US sucks becase alabama exists

similar logic

smhmh

[jade quiver]

I mean Berkeley did have an active shooter on campus recently lol

[heady cobalt]

womens history month but im getting rejected everywhere

[jade quiver]

I have no hooks bro im cooked

[honest vine]

ikr same

ughh

[granite dirge]

my point

i would take ucsd over berkeley if it wasnt number one for my major

[jade quiver]

Cs?

[granite dirge]

econ

[jade quiver]

Oh

[mild saffron]

ucsd 😍
