#All UCs 🐻🐮🐴🐱🐶🔱🤠🐌 (2023-2024)
1 messages · Page 48 of 1
i mean take it like this
if they took you for 2nd major and 6th choice college they tried everything to get you in
and succeeded
they put the work in to get you
Sheesh
Did u get into UCI?
yeahh I got rejected sd, la, Irvine wl Davis
Real
right there with you
were getting cooked
Hows that even possible
I’m starting to lose hope for sb and Berkeley
My friend did too and he had a much better profile than me :(
all aps and honors
Cs is mad oversaturated
yield protection by ucla
A LOT
Yes
Ucs cap tho right like at 8sems or wtv
yeah I had 4.6, varsity sport, clubs and leadership positions, APs and alot of dual and concurrent enrollment classes
My first choice was chem Eng but I got my second choice, biochemistry
didn’t even apply raw cs i applied cse and ce
Gonna do more digging into the life at sd before I commit bc it’s my dream school
uncapped
pretty sure la does uncapped no?
Seems like UCs are becoming more and more random
Oh yeah
Like any other school at that level tbh
ever since they took the sat away
i hear it was more predictable back then
Real - waitlisted riverside, rejected davis and irvine, and waitlisted sd idk whats going on
After a certain point the process becomes arbitrary, and the sheer volume of people applying means that people have to get lucky with the mood of their readers at the moment of their review
Accepted Davis, waitlisted SD, rejected Irvine and LA
They’ve probably read so many sob stories
ig luck as not been by my side
Accepted Davis and Irvine, waitlisted LA, accepted SD
I seriously wished I got into one of the SoCal schools
I actually can’t believe I’m going back to hood
I wasted my luck already
sb will come in clutch
I was hoping for one of the socal ones
Real
Davis is very solid, it’s an hour away from my area so don’t feel bad if you have to go there
Sd specifically cuz i wasnt gonna go to any of the other ones even if I got in
wake up and smell the cows
SB or Berkeley needs to take me
bro everyone is like “ucla wants the most aps and honors” but almost all my friends who took a double digit amount of APs got waitlisted
Campus is spaced out yet comfy, there’s a campus life
And the college town has a very distinct sense of community and that it has been “lived in”
i took 11 APs and 3 DEs and got waitlisted that was rlly devastating 💔
Ucla is overrated tbh
bro it’s perfect it’s an hour from home so i can come home on the weekend and it’s in LA
granted UCSD is abt 1 hr 30 mins from home
yeah I was in 8 APs and 7 DEs and I got rejected :(((
did you get in?
if sb berk slo sdsu or usc don’t take me i’m actually not going to college it seems like 
Not the best for stem but people like to think it is, the reality is that it’s known for humanities and performing arts with the exception that it has a top tier med school
real real
but ucla is in LA bro i fucking love LA
waitlisted :(
best of luck then fr
Uc Berkeley and ucla are one in the same even if they like to compete with each other
did you apply to berkeley too or nah
yeah i did
only SB and berkeley left
Best of luck mate 🙏🙏
that UCSD acceptance + Berkeley acceptance double about to go hard
hopin i finish uc strong and make it
Idrc for SB i already got UCSD human biology
same
But berkeley i hope for
My last uc to wait for is Berkeley too
yessirrrrrrr MANIFEST
UCSD human bio supremacy
and like sd>>la whos with me
Me 100%
yessir UCSD premed 💯💯 apparently it’s actually impressive to get into ucsd biology
Like for me it’s between UCR (which is 20 minutes away for me) or UMass
even ucsd applied math supremacy
im still shakin a little from getting first choice human bio and john muir
My cousin who goes to ucla ruins it for me because he’s a huge narcissist who lets his biases show whenever he tries to gloat about how ucla is the best
i got first choice and seventh (second pick) i was so happy
john muir goated bruh fr
MUIR SUPREMACY
I need a better perspective on ucla
What major did u guys apply for ucb?
math
I got Marshall 🙏 I did more research into it and I realized that it’s really not bad given my personal preferences
But my top choice was Muir
homehow, UCSD admitted me to my alternative (math & computer science) which I would assume is more competitive than my primary (applied math)
Chemical Engineering, alternate is Computational Chemistry
I did eecs (I’m cooked)
as someone whos lived at ucla
the dorms are cramped
the people are cool
the food is great
the architecture in some parts is beautiful and other parts is very aged
a lot of cool people come to do stuff (i saw actual bellingham at UCLA)
Might be screwed…
i put down whatever the app had and saw i got into my third
the area is affluent and safe
it's a great school
Good to know
how safe is UCSD
but you got into ucla so huge gg's there
😱
from what i hear one of the safest UC campuses
Gonna go opt into the waitlist now …
I dont need my life to end due to a random ass gunfight
do it no matter what
all options open
the ball gettin better i see
Common UCSD W
i mean downtown chicago we can do that
If I have to pick, should I pick Irvine chemical engineering or UCSD biochemistry 🤔 all other things equal
not my major but sd is a solid school cant go wrong
20 minute drive from sdsu so there may be a chance that stray frat people might wander and do dangerous stuff
Small chance of them straying from their habitats though
that's true yeah, was ecstatic in the morning
sd native and worked at a ucsd lab for over a year, didn’t see any problems
it’s a very calm campus
my typa campus
My typa campus too
Waking up in the morning with a cuppa coffee and just staring at the ocean
and you should be

im not their typa student apparently but no worries i personally rather something with a bit more social activity
Well this choice is gonna be so hard since the only schools I applied to are so close to my preferences
wdym by social activity?
Gonna do more research and soul searching before I commit since I have time
parties n frats?
Soul searching be imp
unfortunately i was rejected from uchicago
unable to live that fantasy
:(
dodgin red flags my friend
and bullets
yeah for pre-med i think that was probably best for me
i see uchic as a huge ahh red flag didnt even bother
and knives for that matter
Knives?? 😭
What is American doin
of my remaining top schools only northwestern looks like a green flag id take over ucsd w/ no debate
maybe amherst
knife crimes are def popular in gang violence, like chicago and all
sheesh
I keep forgetting if I applied there
lemme go open common app
It appears that I have applied there
Remaining major decisions for me are most ivies + rice and Stanford
Sooo looking like LA ‘28
the forgotten school
tbh i forget i did Amherst College
i did the essays 3 days after it was due
💀
It's the thought that counts
if i get in im going to start laughing
i prolly alr asked this, but is there an accepted ucla discord gc that we can be invited to by any chance?
better late than never
frr
but most of my schools look like rejections
the uni shld email u
cause i wrote the essays in like 5 hours for most
maybe berkeley i get a waitlist same for howard
ngl essays dont take that long
when can we expect to hear back from them?
I finsihed my piqs max 5 hrs
i cooked the best essays of my life in 2 weeks for uchicago ed2
in a week max
rejected anyway
uchi ed2 rejection stung ngl
u gotta get into the flow state with the essays fr
i mean ur holding LA and im holding SD now so it was for the best
they dangled the carrot by deferring me EA and making me do ED2 and then the harsh reject
would still take uchi over ucla in a heartbeat but yk maybe these things happen for a reason!
yeah
exactly
i mean no matter what we didnt get particularly what we initially wanted
but we got something to be proud of
yep, definitely something to write home about now!
thats the interesting part of the college app process
you start out with something in your head
ANF FLEX
and over time it morphs
T20 flex 
ngl
The essays make u THINK about what u have achieved till date
I quite liked writing them
particularly for me i started out liking berkeley -> figured i wouldnt get any better than alcorn state uni in mississippi -> princeton rea reject -> uchicago ed2 reject -> uc davis accepted -> uc san diego accepted -> ucla reject -> cemented uc san diego
its like a path
would be something if i ended off where i started, interested in berkeley
i like the way you make this seem lol
makes so much sense to me now
yeah
the farther down you go
the narrower it gets
until you get to your destination
me too, manifesting berkeley🫡
youd take berk over LA?
as a pol sci major i think i would
i mean likewise i would
i don't think it's a very easy change for me tho. ucla is great for humanities, prolly the best out of the bunch
i see
i loved ucla while i was there but i dont wanna remain in LA
that was my main reason for why id take berkeley if i was blessed with the opportunity to choose
Berkeley safety issues are crazy
has anyone recieved any UC acceptance mail yet
heard the culture at berkeley is pretty bad too
i hate college culture period
fr
i've visited berkeley 4 times and every single time something crazy has gone down in front of me
I’ve been to Berkeley once and I saw a random disheveled old guy shout about evil oil blood money on a microphone
But some club offered me and my HS classmates condoms so pretty cool
thats all the reg flads i need to hear to not go there
tbh if you're a big dude and don't mind crackheads then berkeley will be fine
if you're a girl tho idk
rip
most of my female cousins go there and every time we hang out they always tell me how they were followed the other day or some shit
💀
lol what's going on
@split swan its not like super bad but can be a hurtful thing fr for a recent reject
wtf i love uc berkeley now
you shoulda seen the look on our counselor's face
basically we did google forms in exchange for free condoms
pretty cool
LMFAO WHAT
😭😭😭
there’s no way
yes way
and they were also sellin lego flowers to fundraise
one of my classmates bought one
but then when we left our van to go over to the golden gate bridge it got smashed into
and the lego flower stolen
:(
berkeley is wildddd holy
ikr
Rejected ucla ez
idk when i was there i didnt particularly like it
type shit fr
agreed i don’t vibe much w berk either
idk what id do if i did get in though
but thats a convo to have if that happens
not now
yeahsame but id kill to get in
ucsd isn’t the most social school, it has the nickname uc socially dead by its own students
it’s mostly because la jolla is absolutely not a college town and a large majority of the campus comprises of bio and tech research
Last time asking but ucsd does not have a LOCI form right? other than the waitlist form to opt in
no, i could only see a checkbox
Checkbox? As in the waitlist form right?
Would it be unnecessary to make efforts to submit a LOCI
Or nah
where it says opt in or not
Ya alr
its only for grades
Ya but it wouldn’t necessarily apply
Ig I will for San Diego two more months
at this point UCSD lost cause for me
Same here
i guess; they say "Changes to reported Extracurricular Activities
Correction to Personal Insight Question" though; they do specify that it is unlikely to make a diff though
might have to go OOS which is kinda hard to grapple with
its just my instate options are not good/not as cheap as my OOS merit offer financially
i dont think its for LOCI tho
is uci better than ucd and ucsb for cs
yeah that’s for march 28 you to think about 
So if I pack 300lbs of lean muscle then I’m chillin?
did u commit to neu? there could still be a chance :0
if you're like at least 5'8 and 150 lbs you're prolly chilling
Oh I’m good then
oh nvm im good
i thought you meant like 6'2 needed
6'2 def better but
5'8 is like
the minimum to be ok
What’s Berkeley’s gym like
I toured the place and the rec center once but never went to the gym
Why is the California acceptance rate that low
Can anyone send that one image with like the number of applications each uc got this year
out of state ppl pay more money in tuition
might be a rumor but i've heard some uc's will have higher acceptance rates for oos and int because of that
But like
That's the case for all public schools, OOS tuition is higher
But most have a higher in state acceptance rate
Why don't the UCs do something like that
thanks Irvine😋
Cuz they are weird
bc they want money 🤑
Is a ucla waitlist a somewhat positive indicator that my application isn’t crappy 😶🌫️😂
no idea
yes if you get rejected from ucla you get into mit
each school has their own system on who they accept or reject
it’s proven with 100% truth rare
Edited 😂
I was gonna say
lmao fr
bro u forgot harvard
😂😂😂😂😂
harvards too much of a safety thoigh
rookie mistake
we don’t consider it here at a2c
UCLA on crack this year ffsss
real
oos had no shot
oos and is had no chance
top 1 national private school 38 applied —> 37 rejected + 1 waitlisted like wtf ucla who was that ao reading my schools applicants 😂
let me into harvard plss
there isn't lol
¯_(ツ)_/¯
u never knowww
why no berkeley lol
This graduating class does not want to leave the immediate vicinity
of Los Angeles
So UCI, UCSB, UCLA, UCR
everyone did them
Santa Cruz being the exception
Berkeley, UCSD mainly untouched
why santa cruz 🤣
We got a lot of stoners
oh ok hahaha
Basically if it all works out properly I could have a shot here at Berkeley
But I doubt it
And am happy with SD
atleast u got into an uc
Yeah that is true
I’m perfectly happy w/ this
yea ucsc and waitlisted at la and sd
i wish i got into sd 😭
can someone pls telll me if its possible to get rejected from ucsc and get into uc berkeley
yes
yeah someone at my school had this happen to her last year
ucs is wild
for getting off waitlist, is it by school or no, so if all the kids at my school decide not to go ucsd does this mean, i can get their spot im so desperate ive been having delusional thoughts
ahhh
it’s just super random i’d say don’t dwell on the waitlist so much
i got waitlisted at ucla and i’m still going to opt in but i’m thinking about other options right now so i know how you feel
ucla is my dream like how ucsd is yours
i was happy by ucla waitlist 😭😭😭😭😭 fully thought id be rejected
hopefully you get off the waitlist for ucla!!!!
ahhh ty you too!
No because same. I’m so excited they think I’m qualified
Same but my cs school chances are looking real slim now
I was rejected and now I’m dejected
UCLA gave me the blues and now I’m tuning into the news
They said they had a magnitude of apps this year
I wish I could have celebrated with a b**r
Wut u mean ur dejected?
i think ucla misspelt words in my acceptance letter
Dejected means depressed
how easy is to transfer into bio at UCSD
for some reason biochem is a physical science
which is not the case for literally any other UC campus
Hard. It’s capped
even from bio chem? darn
guess it's just a school to school thing tho
If biochem is not in bio department then it’s not
yeah
well I'm not even attending yet but I was accepted for biochem
i was talking to a student there who said biochem is more heavy on the chem and labs vs biology
Oooohhh I’m sorry I didn’t totally understand what you were saying
My guess is it’s still hard ‘cause capped major
But probably easier than transferring from say humanities or smth
How yk biochem capped
Do yk ucsd cs acceptance rate?
someone probably already asked but does anyone know when UCSD starts giving waitlist acceptances?
After the SIR deadline
or aroudn it
they can't even start yet bro
They have to look at the yield rate and see how many spots are open
No clue I don’t know if they release it
yes
It's UCLA waitlist website but they're all the same deal
aight
why does berkeley come out on ivy day 😭 its like colleges are trying to hit me with double disappointment
berkeley wants to be important 🥲
kinda wild knowing that all the remaining colleges i'm waiting on are coming out in a 3 day time span 😭
omg gl
ucla waitlist emotionally destroyed me so idk how i'll survive getting 5 ivies + Berkeley in one afternoon 💀
GL MAN
we will all do so well on ivy day 💪
MANIFEST IT MANIFEST IT
fr 🙏
atleast u got a waitlist
im dead
is PSU penn state?
yes
yes but it is expensive
tbf i think i'm dead in the water at ucla bc poli sci is a capped major iirc
are you from penn state?
got accepted to most but they are all not so great (except sjsu ig)
i got waitlisted from long beach
idk
you did cal poly slo right?
ofc
i hope you get it then
slo is my last hope
which UCs did you apply to?
berkeley, la, santa cruz, san diego, and davis
i see
so berkeley is still left
atp i have no chance
best of luck
Suspected berk release date?
Do UCs consider freshman year grades
no
Are you sure
they see your freshman year grades but it won’t be factored into the gpa they calculate
nope I got a D and couple of Bs freshman and still got into some
just a pool of applicants they keep on hand
And pick randomly?
no clue how they go from there but i doubt its random
institutional priorities
they pick whoever will fill enrollment gaps
no they pick whatever they're lacking
for example if they're lacking their first gen quota
they'll admit more first gen students
if they have spots leftover in a certain major
they'll admit more of those ppl in that major
You’re everywhere
😭
Ah ok
Is irvine better or ucsb?
Any info on ucsd I got waitlisted here
i’m pretty sure most waitlists work that way
including ucsd
ik some are ranked but the ones that are ranked should be publicly available info
available as in there should be explicit info on it online saying their waitlist is ranked
otherwise safe to assume that it’s just by institutional priorities
yeah check their common data set
As an east coaster, I kinda don't want to go to a bay area college cuz it would be impossible for my future kids to get into university
I'm constantly hearing stories of how impossible it is to get into uni from the bay area
I’m in the bay
Just pick the right part
My area is not competitive
but aren't AOs biased against the whole area given how many people apply? I'm imagining that they want geographic diversity
Most def not, only about 20/380 kids in my grade applied to ucs, even fewer to ivies and other top schools
It really depends where in the bay you are
oh interesting
I think more people in my east coast school applied to UCs haha
lol yeah it dipped a lot since last year
Carnegie University of Mellon 
DAMN
my school a lot of ppl apply for UCs (bay area)
I’m in the north bay
So it’s pretty chill
oh i see
theres like 650 kids in my school and
according to the UC data
500 apply to UC
Couldn’t you move out of west coast after uni?
It’d be less competitive for them that way
Also as ppl were saying it rlly depends on the area and the specific school
columbia university in manhattan/morningside 👀
UCSD OR UCI👀👀👀👀
UCI (i'm biased. it's the only one i got in)
UCI waitlisted me
Sd prolly
wait neel did u get into sd
Waitlist
Data
where in the bay are you???
North bay
like what city?
Uh
You prob won’t know it
If you really want to know I’ll dm
yea no worries its fine
it's just that im in cupertino and it's hella comp
and like everything surrounding it is like hella competitive
Oh yeah ik cupertino
I’m near sf
Is the Bay Area that big
i was just kinda surprised when you said 20/380 kids
Yeah
Not competitive here
yea uc decsions were brutal at my school
no one got in
the valedectorian didn't get into davis
Same
that’s not brutal
whats brutal then???
nice i also got waitlist at neu
im getting watilisted at almost everyschool
yea its tuff
ive heard if you send them a loci you have a good chance of getting in
like multiple locis
it’s about fit
Istg fremont is south
are you bay area?
It’s not about best application
Unless im tripping
yea
aye join the club
Bay area kids getting screwed over left and right w ucs
ik but like you wouldn't know him like i do
he has crazy grades and crazy ecs
he got into every oos and hes getting fucked my ucs
Only kids w insane gps are getting ucs atp
i said fit they’re looking for ppl that def will go to davis
SO REAL SO REAL
fr tho like why are they doign this
I have a friend that made uiuc math cs but got waitlisted davis rejected sd
true
cuz the bay area hella competitive
yeah
no not only merced sc and riverside are also
too many cracked students here
dude my friend’s school has 30 valedictorians
DAMN
Supply and demand type shi
yea ig
I got waitlisted riverside bro💀
SAME WTF are they on
Most likely going purdue so its all good but
same i might go to UIUC
Good shi
do you think this is yield prot
I got no clue man
i mean like idk if they do yield prot or not but its kinda weird
Its whack fs
Yeah
nice nice
One of my friends got sc waitlist but his gpa is sorta low so
what club?
Bay Area
ye where do i join
ev
uiuc cs??
no info sci + data sci
respect
but i'll prolly switch into cs + math or someting
be careful it’s hard to switch
I got into bioeng but I was thinking of cs+x
but im scared i wont get it
no it's fine bro
i think ull get in
i've talking to some friends and they say unless you fuck up ur first year you're fine
like it's a 80-90 percent chance ull get in if you don't screw it over
yea but for me cs courses don't have tests
or at least the first few
it';s all project based
so it's kinda easy
you could also look at the courses on this website
it tells you the avewrage gpa in that course
and you could see the easy courses and the hard ones to avoid if you do end up going
i could send it to you
@limber cipher i've sent it check dms
only ones left is ucsb and ucb right
yes
The way I’ve been getting full waitlisted by the UCs I applied is fucking nuts
I’m so confused for my ec description was i not suppose to fucking write it in bullet points. Idk if this minor detail is screwing thr fck out of me
I don't think bullet points are good in general for uni essays
Or descriptions
Ec descriptions?
Those too
The entire point is to write about them in a concise manner
Fr?
Bullet points might just show that u can't do that
Bullet points aren't really that descriptive compared to traditional writing imo
Might be this or might be ur ECs or stats holding u back
I thought ecs were writing straight to the point, why would writing sentences be any helpful if there is cap to character limit
When writing ec desc that’s why I did bullet points
You are correct but bullet point is not a recommended format for that
Definition of concise I thought was being very specific and straight to it
I used semicolon for each action done
Let’s say fundraising I wrote like something like “organized 20 food drives; contributed 200 hours; provided food for idk like 20000 people” just an example
I didn’t do a food drive or anything just an example of how I would have written it
like every UC you applied to waitlisted you???
ive never heard of it happening before
damn
Except riverside. I didn’t apply Davis or Merced
Irvine, San Diego, ucla all so far waitlisted my ass
It’s all up to Santa Barbara and Berkeley
I’m so confused how I didn’t get Irvine. Legit all my friends got in like bruh
Same for me
Ikr like tf
Santa Barbara will come through hopefully
I mean I won’t lie ucla waitlisting me was surprising
I kinda forgot I applied here cuz I felt like ik I wasn’t gunna get in
Yeah I was never expecting to have a chance with UCLA
My goal was one of uci, ucsb, ucsd
I was shocked with uci. I wanted ucsd or berk
Hopefully Berkeley and sb come through for us
Uci and ucsd it sounds like the odds of getting off the waitlist aren’t terrible though
Actually San Diego is worse than I thought 😬
San Diego and Irvine are comparable
Last year at least our school managed to get two people off waitlist for San Diego but none for uci
Uci actually bumming out
i was shocked when i got rejected from all ucs minus davis waitlist
College confidential says 1100 were admitted off ucsd waitlist last year and 3000 from uci
Out of how many?
what major
thats acc crazyx
Anyone by chance when waitlist decisions kinda start rolling
yeah this is how a lot of ppl write their ec descriptions
i think i saw in a uc counselor presentation that they even recommended writing this way instead of full sentences
Ok so i wasn’t doing it wrong then
yeah def
yea this is completely fine
These waitlists are driving me nuts
same 😭😭😭
Damn
irvine davis la and san diego all waitlisted me..
I think that Irvines waitlist you can totally get off of
But SD’s is ranked
On what idk but it is ranked I believe
16000 uci 19000 ucsd
It says 51000 for ucsd in 2022 which doesn’t make sense
And some people don’t accept waitlist
So the actual number is less
I don’t know how I didn’t even get waitlisted at sd
cs
makes sense nvm
I have nonexistent ecs but I got waitlisted ucla 😭😭
ok same lol
What ur major
I think ucla might be more grade focused
I have good grades
they got 146k applicants, I think they have plenty of students with perfect grades to choose from
They saw my potential 🙏
I’m switching from biochem
wish i can say the same
?
this but rejected
and idek if waitlist is effective
all 7 uc rejections? more likely than u think (me rn)
4 uc rejections / 5 i applied to
and the last one is berkeley so
i applied all 9
whats mcd
i got riverside and merced
atleast u got some
Molecular cell and developmental biology
Lol
Sometimes I wonder what colleges I would get into if I didn’t do cs
yall made it too competitive
I have no ECs 😭😭 and my piqs mid
its all up to berkeley now
Idek if I would even go to Berkeley if I get accepted
I would not
Too competitive
ppl always use the word "cutthroat" when describing berkeley 💀
ucla needs to take me off the waitlist fr
im not tryna experience anything close to bay area culture
yeah berkeley is a little ghetto
at this point applying to the ucs were for ego cause i know im not going
i would've gone to ucsd if they let me in my major instead of admitting me undeclared
wait they admitted people undeclared instead of major
how does that even work 😭
capped majors?
not just little
very
the prestige is the only reason anyone would want to go to berkeley
literally
well
ig that goes for most schools
anybody know anything about robotics eng at UCSC?
applied Mech E everywhere else, is robotics eng close to mech E?
cant you just go and declare your major
depends if its capped or not
Trying to do anything engineering is not guaranteed
especially not cs lol
if i get off a waitlist how likely is it that i'll get into my desired engineering major? ik for ucsd u would automatically go undeclared but i'm curious ab the other ucs
I'll reject my admissions offer bro
how much harder in general is it to get into Berk EECS compared to UCLA CS?
Bro
You should not be thinking about "harder" dude they're both actually shots in the dark
i got ucla so I was wondering what my chances for berk were 🤣
college of engineering as a whole was ~6% last year i think
according to the internet, eecs is 4.5% and ucla cs is 3.1% but I imagine the applicant pool for eecs is much more competitive
Berkley college of engineering
college of engineering acceptances aren't very useful since Berk EECS is definitely more competitive than other majors
they are aware im p sure
when i was sending the ucsb "rubric" thing apparently they mentioned someone who get rejected sb but got into la
so they do know
wait so if you're getting mass rejected by ucs so far its not joever
yea
what's a rubric
im on 4 for 4 uc rejections lmaooo
#1188173830770921604 message
im 3/3 but UCB is about to reject me cuz they know I got into LA
based on this
yall are actually schizos wtf
literally lmao
save some for the rest of us man
i got none
nada
uci reject, ucla reject, uc davis reject, ucsd reject
ucsc waitlist :/
might be because they all know UCB accepted you and that you're going to go there
in my dreams
most likely
thatd be great if it happened then i dont mind a 6 rejections out of 7 then 🧍♀️
Doesn’t seem too reliable Ngl
So if I got waitlisted from La does that mean Berkeley got me?
possibly
Imma keep it real if this is true I hope berk takes me but at the rate college decisions are going I might be going to my local csu and man does it sting. Anyone got ways to just accept it and cope abt it. I’m seriously struggling
Unlucky?
What were they if you don’t mind me asking?
4.3/3.9 1510
Very unlucky
4 leadership roles organized hackathon and afghani refugee drive organizing thing
but i applied cs so im not suprised i didnt get that
but they admit to general school
which i thought i would have gotten
This
I got in with a 3.96/3.67 and 26 ACT
Yeah your app is crazy
Human biology at Muir
im chill with irvine cs though i love the school
I guess I wrote my way in cause I believe it’s a capped major
just wish i didnt get straight rejected from the others
I got admitted on a 4.78/4 (uncapped) 1540 but my ECs were awful
Ay at least you chillin fr fr
Irvine cs is up there
my brother went there bro i cant just withdraw it 😭
i need to get out of his goddamn shadow first LMFAO
Isn’t cc free
?
applied eng undeclared for berk though so we pray🤞
since i applied pure cs everytwhere else
interesting choice
I made the same mistake but in my Princeton interview
@tough cloud what possessed you to write about among us
doing that in 350 words is insane
maybe not that insane actually
that would be one interesting common app essay though
Should I take sjsu cs over ucr & ucsc
That is the most motivational essay
Hook game on a new level
A picture is worth a thousand words
That conveys your dedication to ☐☐☐☐
huh
I took the PIQs as like something to express a lesson you learned
With like no nuance or crazy hooks
I was told the piqs were like interview questions
Just get to the point and show how you grew as a person and what that means
Yeah I didn’t do any hooks
Yeah exactly
No hooks
No nuance
ru supposed to have hooks?
Just nail the question and show them what characterizes you
Not really
🧍♀️
Basically I did x thing that taught me y lesson and that relates to z major ig
as we said
Yeah exactly
I did that on every essay
Including common app 💀
I said x thing -> x lesson -> what I do at the university of California
And I did this for every essay
i just started it w an intro on how i took an interest in engineering which went into how i fostered that interest ig
my counselor said to not do why us
Insert _ lab here and _ professor name
Exactly
agree they dont wanna read your yap
Exactly
You yap = rejected
they need something tangible about you to take away
tbf all of my essays were under the 350 word limit by a pretty decent (>50 word) amt
now im concerned i yapped too much even tho im not a yapper
If you turn your PIQ into a philosophical discussion w/ no point then you failed
like if ur equating birds to the sun and don’t bother explaining how that makes you a good applicant
Then idk what to tell you
That’s a common app essay thing
Exactly
But everything else nah
Common app essay is for the nuance and creativity
That’s why my REA common app essay was ass
I wrote it like a PIQ
omg the metaphors
ik someone who used a “worm in a pond” metaphor
i’m in state and got waitlisted at ucsd w a 3.9/4.57 & non impacted major 😭
damn
if ur from the bay or from a rich hs ucs tend to do that
arentyou the like stanford kid though'
yeah i’m from the bay
i remember you got into some cracked school
oh nono that’s not me LOL i wish
yeah all my friends from the bay w/ similar stats & ecs if not better got wrecked
me watching this with a significantly lower gpa but from inner city LA
i wish i could rewrite my commonapp
meanwhile im a bruin now 💀
i shouldnt have done the
discovering my culture or whatever
it was my main ec :/
I DID THAT TOO LMFAO
Congratulations and welcome to Los Angeles
ah
i mean i sprinkled in a little bit of "discovering my culture" but it was mostly i guess
im asian i have such a cool and interesting and unique culture!!!
not like theres 10k of you at your school!!
idk how to describe
I’m from LA and got rejected from LA + Irvine so far but got into Davis, SD, and Riverside
i thought i was slightly different cause rather than chiense theres taiwanese but theres not really that much of a difference 🧍♀️
if anything that mightve hurt me cause its sorta controversial
ucla vs ucsc regents vs uc davis vs ucsd for premed whats better
rejected
ucla fs
ucla
easily
LMFAOO im from the bay area and accepted at ucsc and wl at la + sd and rejected at irvine and davis
brother the choice is UCLA, then UCSD, then Davis, then UCSC
i hated the way they would reword my essays
That’s what I’d think
damn y'all r prestige wh*res
well yes
the tryhardism at ucla scares me
sjsu ✊
only berk can save me 🙏
ucla culture just seems so fucking nice
i just wanna go to a college far from home 😭
like i wish i could be there bro
I’m from an irrelevant area and my results are pretty much the same lol
NO TRUE
Fr
MY 2 WEEKS AT UCLA WERE LITERLALY SO FUN
What were your stats?
I applied with a 3.96/3.65 and a 26 ACT, but my immediate area is so uncompetitive
tbf ucsds college system kinda scares me away and uh the ucsc housing system isnt that great
other than davis i have the same exact results 😭
but i really like davis
I want to go to ucsd because of the nice dorms and campus but they didn’t admit me for my major and I will definitely not be able to get in for it lol
and i had a burning hatred for ucla until friday
UCLA honestly looks really nice
also sc's housing is mad expensive
nah i dont tink my location matters tbh
Just socal in general ig
yeah regents dont even get priority either bruh
ucsc lwk lowest value uc :/ like yes its a good school but like living in sc its expensive and also theres other schools that cost cheaper and give same results (csus)
Maybe depending on the reader but cs in general is just random
i have a 4.4 and i forgot my uw and im a cs major w mucho stats 👍
Hoping for Berkeley because cost but I wouldn’t mind getting off the waitlist too
ah damn the CS part probably didn’t help then ig
I applied for bio/human bio
Same with Berkeley
Nah gpas aren’t all that
ohhh i feel like u have a good application like ur essays def cooked and idk ur stats
nahhh when ur gpa is that high???
ainnoway
Unless San Diego accepts me lol.
Rejected where
