But yes manifestation 🎉

[vagrant hazel]

nah light work for u

[heady cobalt]

ha ha ha only one way to find out ig

[real bluff]

for ucsc can you just switch into whatever major you want to

[random saffron]

no

only if it's a non-impacted major

[real bluff]

what are non impacted ones

[random saffron]

stuff that isn't like

cs

engineering

[real bluff]

bc it's telling me i can switch into cs

[random saffron]

etc

where

[real bluff]

and engineering

[random saffron]

iirc they banned switching into cs

but idk

[blissful zealot]

Blessed

[wraith granite]

can i switch into engineering college at la if my major is stats + data science

or double major

[blissful zealot]

Perchance

[gentle obsidian]

whats the policy for switching majors at la

[random saffron]

u can switch into basically anything

besides the majors in specialized colleges

not too hard to switch into engineering majors either

reqs are not too difficult

[wraith granite]

so it's possible to switch from sds to cs?

[gentle obsidian]

yeah im rethinking biochem right now

[blissful zealot]

Real

[real bluff]

wait guys how many major options should i have to switch into at ucsc

[random saffron]

wdym

what are u trying to switch into

[gentle wyvern]

Man someone tell me uc Berkeley is holistic

Like very holistic

[random saffron]

they are

they take a lot of low gpa students

from my hs

[agile wedge]

they are

im sort of bankin on em a little bit out of my ultra reaches

[nova bridge]

holistic enough to take a 3.85 💀

[gentle wyvern]

Man

[nova bridge]

with bad ecs 💀

and good essays 😃

[agile wedge]

i mean NEU took you

[gentle wyvern]

I feel like I should leave A2c for my own sanity

[nova bridge]

but they took my sat

[agile wedge]

to be fair
A2C is a good resource to learn information

but on the flip side if you're not careful it can really fuck w/ you

i mean no matter what

berkeley

san diego

or whatever

you did get Davis

i know PLENTY of people whod kill for at least some piece of safety like that

so dont let yourself think that you aint do good at all

[nova bridge]

its me im people

[gentle wyvern]

True

[agile wedge]

you did what you could

[nova bridge]

davis was the perfect school for me

[random saffron]

yes when i mean low gpa i mean i know multiple ppl who got in with a 3.3-3.7

and some 3.0 flats

[agile wedge]

basically man

you have a T30 bagged

[nova bridge]

uc gpa

[agile wedge]

you could get rejected everywhere else

[nova bridge]

were their ecs good

[agile wedge]

and still be safe

[random saffron]

that's unweighted 9-10

no

they had no ecs

[nova bridge]

then

how

[random saffron]

idk lmao

[agile wedge]

extenuating circumstances

[nova bridge]

are they athletes

[random saffron]

no

[nova bridge]

my only extenuating circumstances are my late adhd diagnosis

[random saffron]

urm + fgli

[nova bridge]

ah

yeah

dont have that

[random saffron]

to be fair tho

im fgli and

[gentle obsidian]

tbh a2c got me REALLY fcking depressed when it came to college apps for no reason

[random saffron]

i got wled from ucla

rej from berk

same school as them too

[gentle obsidian]

i was so pessimistic bc of all the bay area crackhead asians

[nova bridge]

i didnt get anything but riverside

[random saffron]

and i had a cracked profile

[nova bridge]

i didnt apply to merced

[random saffron]

not as cracked as a lot of ppl here tho

[nova bridge]

my school is incredibly cracked

i am not

[agile wedge]

A2C can sometimes be a little polarizing i think

idk if thats the right word

but like it makes you think that everyone is getting top top schools

and you're not

but that's not really the case

[gentle obsidian]

yeah it is

and it sets the bar unrealistically high sometimes tbh

[agile wedge]

way too high yeah

[nova bridge]

unironically the bar here feels lower than the bar at my school

lol

[gentle obsidian]

bc you see all the internationals getting cooked and think you're getting cooked too

[agile wedge]

and then you see a lot of high achievers here get into top schools

and if you dont

you wonder if theres something wrong with you (there isnt)

[royal steppe]

yea for sure

i think this place is really a selective sample and not a representative one

[sudden summit]

im an intl getting cooked everywhere except by the ucs so far lmao

[agile wedge]

exactly

[gentle obsidian]

that was me when like 3 people got into berk early at my school lmao

[agile wedge]

that's crazy but the average applicant is not getting anywhere near that

[gentle wyvern]

Idk it still is annoying to think u spent a third of a year to get into only 2 UCs

[gentle obsidian]

whoa the banner just changed

[royal steppe]

wowow

[gentle wyvern]

I got laid off of my internship cuz I had to prioritize college apps

[gentle obsidian]

yeah i'm surrounded by a like a TON of high achievers who farm regents and ivy offers

[nova bridge]

i only got into one and it wasn't a t30 one

you did good

[agile wedge]

2 UCs (including Davis, a T30 under 40% acceptance rate UC) is a VERY good return

[gentle obsidian]

knowing people from the bay, u did good

[gentle wyvern]

I’m SoCal

[agile wedge]

And you got into a highly competitive school plenty of people find it hard to get into

[royal steppe]

are u from the bay

[gentle obsidian]

no, socal

[royal steppe]

o i see

[hearty halo]

That’s just quitting the internship lol. Not judging just that it’s kinda odd to call that getting laid off

[nova bridge]

only bc of my sat the rest of my app is shit

[gentle obsidian]

oh i see

[nova bridge]

and the good ucs are all ranked above it lol

and i had to do ed

[gentle obsidian]

if i was from the bay i would've gotten full rejections lmao

[gentle wyvern]

Watever gotta move on

[agile wedge]

and? you scoring highly on an SAT is an achievement

i scored a 26 on my ACT lmao

[royal steppe]

~~im from the bay and ive only gotten UCSC 💀 ~~

[agile wedge]

way better than me for sure

[nova bridge]

yeah but the rest of my app is so bad i couldnt even get into ucsc

[gentle obsidian]

i spent a lot of time at davis last summer - if you don't get into berk, davis is a great school - you'll enjoy it a lot

my dream school was davis until they rejected my friend from the bay

[agile wedge]

yeah but NEU is still crazy

[nova bridge]

yeah crazy expensive 💀

[gentle obsidian]

yeah neu was like 6% right

[agile wedge]

dont be givin me the no UCs spiel if you manage that fr
the average applicant isnt getting a sniff at that

[agile wedge]

yeah

[nova bridge]

i just wish my gpa was better

[agile wedge]

6.8%

and you still made it

[nova bridge]

i got nuin

[agile wedge]

ah i see

[hearty halo]

I don’t find out about UCLA til end of April 😔

Transfer tingz

[nova bridge]

its like 10% so

the overall acceptance rate including nuin

[gentle obsidian]

adding on - it's a wonderful school with a really large research endowment & really friendly people - if you want opportunities for premed u got loads over there. i also really love the bike culture there & the food is pretty good

[hearty halo]

I used to crap talk neu cause I went to nu but now that I left nu ima hype up neu gooooo whatever the neu mascot is

[agile wedge]

insanity

[nova bridge]

husky

[hearty halo]

Goooo huskies

[agile wedge]

you and 9 other people in a room and they chose you @nova bridge
that counts for something

[nova bridge]

i didnt want to go so far from home for a good school

[gentle obsidian]

its ok pizza man u can get into the university of pizza or somethingit's not you as an applicant, it's just where u live man 😭

[oblique violet]

uclnay

[hearty halo]

fucla

[agile wedge]

thats fair

but who knows you might like it where you go

[royal steppe]

LMAOOOOOOOOO

i guess

[agile wedge]

w/ berkeley left, how are yalls uc decisions so far

[gentle obsidian]

better than expected

[agile wedge]

thats always good

who accepted you?

[royal steppe]

Reject Davis Irvine
Waitlist San Diego
Accepted Santa Cruz
Waiting on Berkely

[gentle obsidian]

ucla, riverside chancellors scholarship, ucsc regents, uc davis

[hearty halo]

I’ve gone 0 for 0. Transfer tingz

[agile wedge]

ucla is awesome, good job!

[nova bridge]

got riverside, wl sc, rejected davis, irvine, san diego, ucla

[hearty halo]

Our timeline is so much later

[agile wedge]

ic ic

ik of irvine rejects who got into berkeley

you wouldnt be the first at all

[gentle obsidian]

not sure if i'll go so if there's waitlist people around im ur hope

[agile wedge]

so best of luck!

[agile wedge]

what makes you say that

[gentle obsidian]

im premed

[agile wedge]

ah same

[gentle obsidian]

the environment there is... to put it bluntly a BIT much in terms of tryhardism

[agile wedge]

oh yeah absolutely

[royal steppe]

true but also im not sure if i'll get into berkeley

[agile wedge]

pre-meds have it rough there

[gentle obsidian]

the food is absolutely gas though

scrumdidilly dumptious

[royal steppe]

my hopes are low for my last decisions (berkely haravrd stanford)

[agile wedge]

yeah that food is up there

2nd best college pizza ive ever had

[gentle obsidian]

like my fatass was watching food tiktoks of ucla people in macro the other day

[agile wedge]

ay hopefully you get something good!

[agile wedge]

ic ic

you could get santa cruz tho right

idk how their yield rate is

[agile wedge]

as for mine:

Accepted UCSD, UC Davis, UC Riverside
Rejected UCLA UCI

[nova bridge]

not good for engineering though

[gusty wadi]

Accepted : UCSC
WL: UCD, UCLA, UCSD 💀
R: UCI

[agile wedge]

i see

[random saffron]

waitlist mania

[oblique violet]

Rejected from 2/2 I applied to

[agile wedge]

waitlist maxxing over here

[gusty wadi]

waitlist is crazy 😭

exactly

and udub too

[agile wedge]

hopefully you get one or two of those off the waitlist

[gusty wadi]

tbh id take any of those four schools over northeastern lmao

which is my best option rn

[agile wedge]

fair fair

im sort of confused about neu sometimes

[nova bridge]

what abt it

[agile wedge]

like the acceptance rate is low and stuff

but i see people who arent really pleased w/ it a lot

[gusty wadi]

price + living in europe

[nova bridge]

a lot of people just shit on it

[gusty wadi]

its not a bad school

just not for me

yk

[nova bridge]

because of the gaming admissions rate

[nova bridge]

thats only nuin

[agile wedge]

yeah the gaming part sucks

but uchicago does that as well

[nova bridge]

but honestly idk why they care

it doesnt change the school itself

[gusty wadi]

yeah i got in nu.in lmao

[nova bridge]

oh same

idk i kind of like ireland and its only a few months

price is valid though

[gusty wadi]

• id rather stay near home (cali)

[agile wedge]

ive been to europe before and loved it

[nova bridge]

same but clearly they dont want me here lol

[agile wedge]

but not ireland

(england)

[nova bridge]

i just wish the ucs were test optional not test blind

[gusty wadi]

ive been to italy and it was great

but idk about living there

[agile wedge]

same

id still like to do study abroad at some point though

just to live a little

[random saffron]

i think ucs will change their testing policy in the nextt few yrs

[acoustic ibex]

honestly doesnt make sense why they're test blind in the first place

[nova bridge]

i know right

[gusty wadi]

tbh same just not first year

[random saffron]

i come from a shit high school that prepared me for nothing and i'm still scoring significantly above the median for most of my class exams

[agile wedge]

im sort of lucky the UCs are currently test blind
without that i really doubt id have gotten SD

[random saffron]

and i guarantee it's cuz of test blind admissions

[nova bridge]

im pretty sure its been proven sat is a better indicator of college performance than gpa

[gusty wadi]

didnt ut release their data

for test optional vs submitted

students

[acoustic ibex]

grade inflation goes hard

[nova bridge]

theres a lot of people like u that dont score above the median though

[nova bridge]

what does test blind admissions have to do with ur scoring /gen

like you wouldnt have gotten in if they werent test blind?

and for the record im asking for test optional not test required

[random saffron]

i prob wouldn't have

[sudden summit]

sd + davis acceptance, la waitlist (intl for cs)

[agile wedge]

currently at a shit high school and this gives me hope

[agile wedge]

w shit

[random saffron]

well u can't distinguish who's good at taking tests and who's not if you're test blind

[nova bridge]

i get that but im talkin abt college performance

[agile wedge]

@sudden summit did you get CS at UCSD tho?

[random saffron]

and most classes in uni are graded based on exams

[turbid ermine]

Y’all still yapping

[sudden summit]

yepp

[hardy mauve]

I got ucsd Roosevelt guys is it cooked

[nova bridge]

im not good at taking tests, but i only got diagnosed with adhd after a couple years of high school and got help, so my gpa doesnt reflect m actual ability while my sat does

[agile wedge]

LETS FUCKING GO THATS WHAT I LIKE

[sudden summit]

between that and purdue cs atm

[agile wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/ronaldo-euro-euro2020-goal-celebration-gif-21977648

[hardy mauve]

^^

[compact dirge]

i got ucsd sixth

as far as i can see its good?

[nova bridge]

i cant get into ucb with a 3.85 when my school average is 4.37

[hardy mauve]

I’m an engineer for what it matters so it might be cooked

[agile wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/mewing-cr7-gif-17207507980250057347

[tidal gale]

ucsd people how many of yall got into roosevelt?

[hardy mauve]

Al guys wtf is the Roosevelt regional specialization I don’t understand

[compact dirge]

got 6th

my first choice funny enoug

[agile wedge]

ucsd here but got john muir as my first choice

[compact dirge]

is 6th not popular

[tidal gale]

i just put whatever the application suggested

roosevelt was 3rd on it

[compact dirge]

the application suggested stuff?

[tidal gale]

like

it just had the preset list

i didnt bother changing it

[compact dirge]

oh

[agile wedge]

if i can get into ucsd w/ my preferred major and college whilst being under the 25th percentile of accepted gpas
you can make miracles happen too

[compact dirge]

only thing i was told was to not put revelle first

[nova bridge]

what was it

[tidal gale]

my counselor just said dont bother let the list be

[wheat flower]

Ur good its holistic view

[tidal gale]

is roosevelt good yall?

if yall know about it

[agile wedge]

my UC gpa was 4.04
UCSD's 25th percentile was 4.11

[compact dirge]

you mean revelle?

wait no

[nova bridge]

i am far far below the 25th

[compact dirge]

how do you see your UC gpa?

[nova bridge]

i was below the 25th for santa cruz dude

[agile wedge]

turns out the 4.03 was an old link

https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/campuses-majors/san-diego/freshman-admit-data.html

i fall under the 25th percentile by nearly a whole 0.1

[strong palm]

Damn

[feral timber]

Ohh

[tidal gale]

WE MADE FOR THIS FRR

[agile wedge]

but realistically its a combination of good PIQs and a historic lack of ucsd apps from my school

making it so that ucsd had no choice but me fr

[strong palm]

Are u oos?

[agile wedge]

id say that ucsd tends to take around 20 people but this year maybe 10 applied

[tidal gale]

man all uc applicants basically here did sd

[agile wedge]

in-state

[tidal gale]

but yeah i had some nice piq's

[tidal gale]

[rustic agate]

I think Sun God and I share a real connection lol. He really is a god.

[agile wedge]

we are aligned like that

[feral timber]

U didn't apply to any ivies?

[rustic agate]

I used to think he was just an art piece but no he really is god lmao

[agile wedge]

i did princeton rea, got rejected, never touched an ivy again

[tidal gale]

[feral timber]

Fair enough

[strong palm]

Irvine plz accept me

[agile wedge]

if berkeley says yes its a debate

[feral timber]

The campus looks amazing. Just saw them yt videos

[agile wedge]

[rustic agate]

I hate Berkeley. They have a special place in hell for me

[strong palm]

Guys any chance berkeley can come out earlier

[feral timber]

[rustic agate]

Nope

[strong palm]

[gusty wadi]

berkeley the city scares me

[agile wedge]

i mean to be honest i may just take sd over berkeley if i got in anyway
pre-med there would legit cause me to die of stress

[feral timber]

[gusty wadi]

[gusty wadi]

my cousin got assaulted as a senior on campus 💀

[rustic agate]

One of my friends got into UCSD and Berk and rejected Berkeley to come down here

[feral timber]

Wtf

[tidal gale]

berkeley has a b.a. in math which just gets off the wrong foot with me

[agile wedge]

i see why

[rustic agate]

Muh homeless dude L

hoomeless dude

[jade quiver]

my parents would want me to go to berkeley if i got in but the truth is that i think i fw sd a bit more

[rustic agate]

you never say no

[strong palm]

How is this even possible?

Waitlist off rn?

[agile wedge]

how is what possible

[jade quiver]

Ucla cs didn’t want me, is this a good sign for Berkeley

[strong palm]

This one

[limpid goblet]

lmaoooo

[rustic agate]

Tbh this was me between UCSB and SD. Parents wanted SD but I was wishy washy between SD and SB

[agile wedge]

you clearly made the right choice

[rustic agate]

I kinda like SB though

[fallow stream]

Yes of course

[feral timber]

Don't betray La Jolla

❌️❌️❌️

[tidal gale]

honestly sd being a magnet fr

[feral timber]

Triton loves u fr

[agile wedge]

tbh my only debate is like UCSD vs Davis but SD clears

[rustic agate]

I'm not going lmao

[agile wedge]

so now the cwru decision tomorrow means nothing

[feral timber]

Imagine going to Ohio 😨

[rustic agate]

Oh that was a clear choice for me lol. Got into Davis but turned that shit down

[tidal gale]

the main uc is uc palo alto tho

💀

did anyone do uc palo alto

[rustic agate]

I was there in December. Campus wasn't that impressive ngl.

[fallow stream]

I’m lowkey rooting for us we have similar gpas I hope we can clutch at least one solid school

[agile wedge]

i have a soft spot for davis but im gonna have to turn it down as long as SD can make the finances work

[tidal gale]

same got into davis on 9th but not sure anymore

[rustic agate]

Tbh I did like Davis for one thing, it was my first acceptance to schools near the top of my list

[tidal gale]

damnnnn even THE palo alto

[agile wedge]

the juxtaposition is funny
cleveland ohio vs san diego california

in terms of location

[agile wedge]

yeah same
it was the first beacon of hope

[limpid goblet]

aww thanks man

[rustic agate]

Yeah it just feels like a bunch of old buildings with a Microsoft Research facility feel to them

[agile wedge]

then cal poly

[limpid goblet]

hopefully

some school will clutch up for us

im mentally resigned though

[fallow stream]

You’re welcome

[tidal gale]

sounds lowkey unappealing but again

[fallow stream]

Same

[rustic agate]

I got WL'd at CPSLO lol. Turned down the WL offer after getting into UCSD

[tidal gale]

its uc palo alto for a reason

[agile wedge]

I got waitlisted at CSU Long Beach but got Davis, SLO, and UCSD
I'll never understand

[rustic agate]

In HS I thought UCPA was the most legendary campus of them all, now it just isn't that cool looking lol

I like UCSD campus a lot better than Stanford

[tidal gale]

sd is costing me less than la already no regrets for not gettin in

[tidal gale]

have you visited uiuc?

[rustic agate]

No I wish. My cousin goes there though.

[tidal gale]

how would you say the campus of ucsd compares to uiuc

[rustic agate]

can't say cause I never been

[tidal gale]

man i lowkey love the campus and it has an imp place in my heart

[tidal gale]

right

[tidal gale]

that was like my hope

[rustic agate]

I think the coolest campus I've seen outside of CA was ASU Tempe lol

and that's cause it was the only school I toured outside of CA 💀

[agile tree]

davis, and then sc/la/sd

[tidal gale]

lmao

have you seen purdue?

[rustic agate]

No lol

[tidal gale]

purdue's font throws me off a lil ngl

[rustic agate]

I told you, I've only been to college campuses in CA lmao

[agile wedge]

@rustic agate is like the majority of the campus just like right there on the coast?

[tidal gale]

i meant like online and stuff

[rustic agate]

UC's?

[agile wedge]

yeah UCSD

[rustic agate]

not the majority of campus, you have to go down to Scripps Institute to actually go to the beach

[agile wedge]

i see

[rustic agate]

but you can see the ocean from campus on a clear day

[tidal gale]

also since ucsd is coastal the weathers gonna be wayy better than midwest right

[rustic agate]

Oh hell yea

[agile wedge]

doesnt john muir supposedly got an ocean view from dorms

[rustic agate]

Sixth does too

[gusty wadi]

does anyone know how important the additional information section for UCLA waitlist is

[tidal gale]

midwest is crazy cold but coast sounds cool for me

plus summer is basically here in india the 110 degree temps are on their way

it would be a lil easier to adjust there

[agile wedge]

thats pretty cool

[acoustic ibex]

Yeah the temp difference won’t kill you on a coast

[agile wedge]

man im kinda happy i got muir

cant wait for that soviet architecture

but wakin up to a nice ocean view makes up for it anyway

[tidal gale]

hows the living situation in roosevelt i gotta see

[random saffron]

do not do berkeley premed

[feral timber]

Why

[agile wedge]

i figured

it looks like plenty of red flags

[feral timber]

Is the grade deflation that bad?

[agile wedge]

id brag about getting in but promptly commit to ucsd probably

[rustic agate]

Best pics I've taken from campus

[feral timber]

Are u a member of the La Jolla marketing team?

[agile wedge]

its also competitive and w/ no Berkeley med school volunteering nearby is harder

[rustic agate]

No these are just pics I took on my iPhone lmao

[feral timber]

Ou
They don't have a med school

[random saffron]

not just that but they don't have good support for premed students

[feral timber]

These are beautiful

[agile wedge]

they do not have a medical school
UCSF is nearby which is a grad school + med school

w/ no in house medical school for ez opportunities people may find it harder to volunteer/shadow

[feral timber]

Red flags fr

[rustic agate]

Thank you

[random saffron]

my orthopedic doctor went to ucsf and bro knows nothing

[feral timber]

Yes makes sense

[agile wedge]

i applied under molecular environmental biology at rausser

cause more support there supposedly

[feral timber]

😭

[agile wedge]

💀

[random saffron]

i asked him about the possibility of chronic exertional compartment syndrome in the deep posterior compartment

and bro straight up said

"idk what that is"

[feral timber]

Bro called out his doctor 🙏

Official ones created by the unis

[agile wedge]

[strong palm]

but im wondering

why is UCI not sending out email

wtf

[feral timber]

they did send it out?

[strong palm]

they didn't

[feral timber]

The discord server has been online for a week now

[feral timber]

I'm in the server

[agile wedge]

when will they drop a UCSD thing

[feral timber]

UCI

[strong palm]

@feral timber

[feral timber]

They had a verification process n shit

[strong palm]

[feral timber]

Admitted students

[strong palm]

ah i didnt see that

[feral timber]

[rustic agate]

Probs have to wait till April/May

I didn't get off the UCI waitlist till like mid May

[strong palm]

[rustic agate]

Davis or SB?

[strong palm]

Idk

Davis?

[fiery linden]

Damn smrithi

U got into la?

What the 1R tho

[turbid ermine]

DAVIS NUMBER 1

[tidal gale]

i cant decide if i should feel good or bad about not even being wl just straight up rejected from la. I mean it obv feels kinda bad that i got rejected but if i were waitlisted it would just mean more delay and more stress.

[limber cipher]

I feel you on that

[nimble gulch]

Everything happens for a reason man

[limber cipher]

that reason better have been fucking good

[undone tendon]

wait can u send me the link pls !!!

[topaz yoke]

Is there a lore reason why UCSD rejected me? Are they stupid?

[tidal gale]

very much so

uc's receive a shit ton of apps and its normal to have some

bad ao to assess your app

[fervent pond]

Different ucs different expectations which are goofy ahh. I was also rejected from ucsd

[tidal gale]

wait a fucking minute ucsd rejected YOU?

[fervent pond]

Yes

[tidal gale]

they are a diff level of stupi at this point

wait no i shouldnt say this tho😭 they still took me. Ah the duality of man

[fervent pond]

UCs are weird when it comes to decisions. I’m curious abt what they want exactly for each school

[tidal gale]

true

ucla just didnt see me fit ig

[topaz yoke]

UCs singlehandedly contributed to 3 of my Rs

[fervent pond]

Keep hopes up still. Couple of weeks left for other decisions

[tidal gale]

ihow competitive is ucsd tho

[topaz yoke]

might be 4 if Berk comes out

Are they stupid?

/srs

[tidal gale]

jeez no we make it to other places

[topaz yoke]

[tidal gale]

lowkey 150000 high schoolers beggin to be at your college oughtta make you a bit dumb

[warm gorge]

Get rid of the PIQs!!!!!!!!!!!

Those absolutely suck they put to much of an emphasis on them

[fervent pond]

Piqs were fun ngl

[warm gorge]

Use the common app method

[fervent pond]

Writing 4 piqs for more than one uc is better than writing a personal statement and a bunch of supplementals per uc you’re applying to

[warm gorge]

If they really want to filter out applicants make it so people with a 3.99 and under can’t apply to like Cal and UCLA

The whole process is random

The whole point of PiQs is to filter out applicants and that does not solve the problem

[fervent pond]

Isn’t fair. Some people I know have had a bad year academically freshman yr due to Covid, external circumstances, but they’re amazing students

[humble nova]

LOLLL when I come visit 💯 will drive to Berkeley

[warm gorge]

The UCs don’t care about freshmen year

[fervent pond]

The point of PIQs is to get to know you as a person and a student.

[acoustic ibex]

3.5

[fervent pond]

Still affects gpa

[acoustic ibex]

that would filter out a bunch as it is

and leave CSU with whatever they have so they get more attention

[fervent pond]

Either way, most of their applicants that they accept already have a high gpa, so honestly don’t need to filter anyway

[warm gorge]

UCs only care about 10-12 GPA anyway

[acoustic ibex]

i wish they didnt cap it

[fervent pond]

I mean ye

[subtle acorn]

3.99 would be crazyyy

[feral timber]

if there even any difference between a piq and the normal essays

I legit didnt change anything

same writing style

[fervent pond]

Normal essays as in common app?

[warm gorge]

Common app you get more to work with

[feral timber]

ye

[agile wedge]

how is it possible for me to have gotten a GPA below the UCSD 25th percentile by 0.15

and still get in

how much does PIQs matter

[warm gorge]

To much

[feral timber]

ye

[agile wedge]

ah i see

[feral timber]

Literally the same thing

[fervent pond]

Common app is 650 words for one prompt and different schools have different supplementals

[feral timber]

OH yes

the word limits were tiny

150 words

I spent more time reducing the content than writing the piqs 💀

[subtle acorn]

LMAO FR

had to cut it down sm

[fervent pond]

I wrote my piqs first and then applied some content to common app supplementals

[acoustic ibex]

oh nah i just checked

if my uc gpa was uncapped

it would have gone so crazy

[subtle acorn]

what was it

[acoustic ibex]

4.78

[subtle acorn]

holy 😭😭😭🙏

[acoustic ibex]

all honors/ap in 11th grade went hard

[agile wedge]

likewise

idk what happened w/ my common app stuff tho

most of my schools aint lookin sharp

[warm gorge]

Opposite for me I got into every private university I applied to including my ED but rejected from every UC

Using common app for my private

[acoustic ibex]

thats wild

[agile wedge]

if you got ed why not withdraw the UCs if you dont mind me asking

also congrats

very good work

[acoustic ibex]

yea congrats

goes to show how different the two systems are tho fr

[agile wedge]

yeah

can have success in one and not the other

[fervent pond]

Do you mean Ea instead of Ed?

[feral timber]

primarily the huge number of applicants

[agile wedge]

idk how i fought off like 150k people or so

for san diego

[feral timber]

yall do realise u can leave the ED if u cant afford it

[agile wedge]

oh yeah

[fervent pond]

Those cases r rare tho id assume

well ur gpa is cracked

like

[agile wedge]

yeah no im chillin

[limpid goblet]

compared to ur school, no?

my gpa like in the context of my school is really bad

[agile wedge]

i mean somewhat but i think it was like my PIQs + a lack of applicants from my school that propelled me into san diego

[feral timber]

the campus omg

[limpid goblet]

lack of applicantrs

everyone and their mother applied from my school lmaoooo

[feral timber]

Revelle College got a veiw of the PACIFIC OCEAN

Never lived next to the ocean

UCI
UCR/UCM

im surprised i only know like 3 ppl that got into davis from my school, but yesterday on insta i saw at least 7 ppl that got ucla, and another 5-6 more just from me asking around

[agile wedge]

Berkeley and San Diego untouched

[feral timber]

They must be automating the process somewhat

[agile wedge]

i have a straight path more or less

[limpid goblet]

my school did all except merced and riverside 🤷‍♀️

[feral timber]

aint no way they manually reviewed every app

[limpid goblet]

thats why im afraid im an autoreject

[fervent pond]

I assume they skim most and if anything sticks out, they review in detail. We’ll never know if they do

[warm gorge]

Aren’t there auto admits for UC Merced and UC riverside?

[agile wedge]

yes but only for ELC
which i did have

[feral timber]

I would forget names in seconds

top 9% of class

yall shld be thankful I aint ur AO 😭

however my school isnt good

Ngl ucsd definitely had incredibly stiff competition this year, I had a 4.6, 2 varsity sports, well-rounded leadership experiences and projects, and I got in with my alternate major and 6th choice of college

Feels like I barely got in

[exotic finch]

well it is the second most applied to school in the US

[agile wedge]

my brother in christ i had a 3.96w, 1 varsity sport, and limited ECs

still made it for 1st choice major and college

I didnt even have sports 😭

[agile wedge]

@carmine mantle you did NOT barely make it

[carmine mantle]

Even if they’re major blind, do impacted majors still play a role?

I have a 4.0 UC W and got in first choice (selective) major and 2nd choice college. but UCI flat out rejected me which is such bullshit

gonna drop that fact every time i mention UCSD fr

I’m still really happy about it
