All UCs 🐻🐮🐴🐱🐶🔱🤠🐌 (2023-2024)

[viral sequoia]

ur gonna be a large language model in 5 years im sorry

[humble mauve]

LOL

[royal steppe]

management info system

[heady cobalt]

Lmfaoo i was joking

[humble mauve]

from what I've been learning in my ML/AI upper divs, I feel like software engineers aren't getting replaced any time soon

[nova bridge]

do you think transferring from neu to ucla or ucb potentially is posisble after my first year

[royal steppe]

all the schools that accepted me DS are either OOS (too expensive to justify) or mid schools im not crazy about in state
and idk if the school i got a good offer financially for cuz merit aid has a DS minor (at that school im doing MIS major)

[heady cobalt]

real

u have to adapt to the new technology

[humble mauve]

everybody who knows nothing about AI thinks its going to replace engineers and everyone who does just laugh

[wicked isle]

Do u know if Davis data sci any good

[heady cobalt]

ikr

[royal steppe]

Man i got rejected Davis DS 💀

[granite dirge]

they need ppl to deal with AI bugs lol

[royal steppe]

ture

[viral sequoia]

it is totally gonna lead to huge layoffs

[royal steppe]

ture

[wicked isle]

Oh sorry

[viral sequoia]

undeniably

sure the job market will adapt

[royal steppe]

lmao you good man

[viral sequoia]

but it's a turbulent time

[brittle rose]

aren't they gonna lead to less jobs since a dev can be more efficient now if they utilize ai properly

[viral sequoia]

and who knows how

[humble mauve]

most devs can't utilize AI properly

that's the thing

right now, it's more a indusry trend than anything

[wicked isle]

Is uci cs any good I got waitlisted

[humble mauve]

lay-offs will happen because HR hears about news regarding AI, but realistcally the sofware isn't there yet

[heady cobalt]

bro a lot of ppl don’t want to learn AI

Like in the field

[nova bridge]

?

[humble mauve]

hit or miss, depends on how you pick your professors and extra curriculars

[granite dirge]

whats the point of AI anyways

[wicked isle]

Why tf does UPenn make an AI major now

[heady cobalt]

bc it’s the future

[wicked isle]

Kinda iffy? Im assuming

[wicked isle]

No I’m saying I wish I applied

[heady cobalt]

Oh

[humble mauve]

nah, I'd say it aires on the better side

[heady cobalt]

bro

[wicked isle]

Would u say better than Davis and Santa Barbara

[deep anvil]

would you say uci is better than purdue for cs

[wicked isle]

Nvm dumb question

[humble mauve]

I don't have experience with those schools and their programs so I'm not qualified to compare

I also can't compare to purdue because I've never taken nor seen their courses

[wicked isle]

Ya I just asked a dumb question assuming u knew

[humble mauve]

I think if you were extra careful picking your classes and you sought out the opportunities here, you will be 90% happy with your experience

which I'd say is pretty good

if you enjoy a public school enviornment

honestly, the main appeal of UCI's CS program is the student attitude

at most other universities, people are ridiculously competitive but here your peers will actually go out of their way to help you if you put in the effort

[wicked isle]

Tbh I’m not really sold with uci cs and kinda wanted opinions on it. Uci students I’ve worked with weren’t necessarily very … active is the only word I can think of

[humble mauve]

people in classes drop particpation codes for those who can't make it and sit in calls, teaching concepts to each other

[wicked isle]

Interesting

[humble mauve]

what are you looking for in a student body

[viral sequoia]

id say this is true for any top uc

[humble mauve]

I'd agree with that

[wicked isle]

Tbh more of fair, equal, little competitiveness won’t lie, but not too the extent of Princeton level (thus never applied), and just students well engaged

[wicked isle]

What is this definition of top uc?

[humble mauve]

I think rather than any top UC, I'd argue that any student who's actively trying to make the most of their resources at any UC will be happy

[viral sequoia]

id rather not answer that

[viral sequoia]

i think some situations are just fucked tho

idk

it's situational

[humble mauve]

Yeah those exist

[humble mauve]

you'll find this enviornment at UCI within the student clubs

[wicked isle]

Welp waitlisted uci so ig I won’t know

[humble mauve]

I'm not qualified to answer that, but I say that a college being an ivy shouldn't have any direct influence on whether you attend it for premed

[wicked isle]

Whatever is cheaper

[humble mauve]

^^^

grade deflation hit so hard when I joined UCI

😭

[royal steppe]

real

[humble mauve]

my highschool gpa was a 3.84, 4.28 weighted

now i'm a 3.3

💀

[royal steppe]

oof

[humble mauve]

i've failed 2 classes, might fail another one depending on my exam tomorrow, but hey, I got an internship and i've learned a lot so I'm pretty happy

[wicked isle]

College fair?

I will hope I never ever have to go through the process of finding internships as a high school student

[humble mauve]

nope, hackathon

[humble mauve]

don't

if you're extra tryhard, search for internships in your freshman year

[wicked isle]

Oh sick. I love doing these. Mainly for the prizes

[humble mauve]

definitely give it a try your 2nd year

[wicked isle]

Alright did lol

[humble mauve]

i meant in university

[limber cipher]

this scares me for next year

[wicked isle]

End of the day he’s passing

[humble mauve]

when you get into college, passing classes becomes a game of time management and sacrifices

you're never not intellgient enough

but you might not have time

or you'll have to sacrifice your social life

or sleep

[limber cipher]

fair

do most internships not really care about grades or anything just like

projects and stuff?

[wicked isle]

Not really

[undone tendon]

hey hey bhrin question — do u know id the uci burmese student association is active ?

[wicked isle]

This ya

[humble mauve]

never heard of them

[undone tendon]

random but i dont have instagram n am curious

oh wonderful 😭 thank you !

[humble mauve]

wish I could be more helpful, good luck searching

[humble mauve]

they care more about projects, but realistically, the most you can do is somehow show more passion than the other candidates

[undone tendon]

its no problem, thank u ! one of my friends at uci is gonna ask about for me too so hopefully can find smt ab them soon

[humble mauve]

when every CS student has 3-4 personal projects and they're all using jakes resume, somehow reaching the recruiter through word of mouth or direct networking is the most important thing you could do

[fast oar]

Do the UCs recalculate ur gpa for u

[humble mauve]

yes

when I was applying anyways

everyone believed that to be the case

[humble mauve]

hackathons and competitions are the best place to connect with companies

job fairs are overloaded

my company's internship was reserved specifically for people who attended the hackathon

[undone tendon]

CONFIRMED BURSA IS ACTIVE.

[humble mauve]

that's awesome!

[undone tendon]

they even recently had a meetup w the ucla bursa !!!

[humble mauve]

oh yeah that's fun, a lot of the UC student orgs collaborate with each other

[undone tendon]

mhm !!

[humble mauve]

i know our badminton team did a thing with UCLAs

[undone tendon]

im just reallt excited bc ive never meet burmese people outside of my family

[teal coral]

idk whatever is cheaper

which ivy

[humble mauve]

that's a wonderful thing to be excited about, stay passionate about it

[undone tendon]

so v important that my college has a bursa so i can stay connected n learn more about my community !!

[teal coral]

u lucky duck

[undone tendon]

i plan to ! ive recently been cooking traditional Burmese food w my mom and its so nice

[teal coral]

did u apply to any bsmd programs

[undone tendon]

also tastes awesome so yk solid plus

[humble mauve]

spend time with your family

[undone tendon]

LMOA

[teal coral]

WHAT WHY

[undone tendon]

man u pre med kids have it rough

[humble mauve]

hard work triumphs everything

[teal coral]

literally

i feel bad for yall

[humble mauve]

that and time management

[undone tendon]

well i have mt calc 3 final tmrw so. good night !

[teal coral]

if u got uci or davis i would consider there btw

[humble mauve]

yeah I need to uh

focus on my algorithms review

💀

[undone tendon]

gl 🫡

[teal coral]

davis is pretty good for premed

[humble mauve]

i'll need it

[teal coral]

afaik

[undone tendon]

studied for six hours today

[humble mauve]

🥲

[undone tendon]

may the fucking formulas stay in my head for tmrw

[humble mauve]

on top of school? take a rest

[teal coral]

idrk u would have to look into it

[undone tendon]

today is sunday ?

[humble mauve]

oh woop

mb

[undone tendon]

i just hosted a study session at my house lol

[humble mauve]

regardless, that sounds like a solid chunk

[humble mauve]

best way to learn honestly

[undone tendon]

lots of breaks dw

mhm !

group pain

i can bag surface integrals but istg making planes is my worst enemy 😭

[humble mauve]

something something washer and dryer method

[undone tendon]

but my time managament is incredible n me n my 9pm bedtime will continue to triumph

AH HELL NAH

CALC AB VOLUMES OF REVOLUTION. NO ???

[humble mauve]

i don't even remember anything from my calc class

[undone tendon]

damm

[humble mauve]

hated taking that

glad it's out of the way

[undone tendon]

i love math

[humble mauve]

math is cool, but the time I have to learn everything and the bad professors don't help

[undone tendon]

so im kinda sad rbh bc ill be done w my math classes before starting college

yeaaa

[humble mauve]

just take more math for fun if you find a good professor

[undone tendon]

my friend is taking calc 3 at uci rn and.

they did not finish their syllabus

[humble mauve]

our math professors are horrible

[undone tendon]

mf did not learn surface integrals or line integrals

missed an entire fucking unit

😭

[humble mauve]

i've never heard any good things about our math professors

TA's can be goated though

[undone tendon]

unfortunate.

fr

i plan to tutor calc 3 in uni

[humble mauve]

https://www.youtube.com/@ProfessorLeonard

[undone tendon]

my calc 3 teacher is fycking awesome

[humble mauve]

this guy singlehandedly saved me

[undone tendon]

NO FR

[humble mauve]

favorite math teacher

[undone tendon]

him n paul’s online math notes

ochem tutor taught me lagrange multopliers (i had covid.)

[humble mauve]

aw that's really nice

i've forgotten what those are but I remember hearing the name and learning them 💀

[undone tendon]

also wxcited bc im on a quarter system already for classes so ik im gonna have the easisest fucking transition to uni

[humble mauve]

wow I really hope I don't need too much of this

I do know that i'm going to have to review all of my linear algebra for my upper div AI class

[undone tendon]

dammzas

i started lin algebra on wednesday

[humble mauve]

i think linear algebra is way easier than calculus personally

[undone tendon]

hm im hopeful

[upper mango]

Hey i have a question cause im intl and dont know how credit stuff works. If i get elective credit from a course i took in high school but it doesn’t fulfill a certain class, what is the benefit exactly?

[undone tendon]

but calc 3 was way easy for me

like easier than calc bc

but my attendance for 3 was also much better so 🤷🏽

i just have an awesome teacher honestly

[agile wedge]

do you guys ever feel a bit down so you look at a college acceptance letter

[humble mauve]

if you got college elective credit for it, then you'll have higher class enrollment priority

[humble mauve]

i very frequently have been looking at my internship offer letter yes

[undone tendon]

if im being honest no but i do look at my scholarships often 😇

[humble mauve]

I can't access my UCI acceptance letter anymore

[agile wedge]

like as a way to raise that dopamine? ive been staring at my UCSD letter every time i feel a little down

raises me right back up

[humble mauve]

and my mom recycled the physical one because she said I had it online 💀

[humble mauve]

yeah

[upper mango]

Will i have some advisor that guides me with this credit stuff and what exactly i get from my highschool and stuff like that

[humble mauve]

depends on your school, but I had to do it all myself unfortunately

I had to "enroll" into the community college class durng high school, ask for proof of completion, and send it to UCI

[brittle rose]

nah this is lowkey relatable 💀

[agile wedge]

bro i got 2 tabs open on my PC i never close

my uc davis acceptance letter

and my ucsd acceptance letter

if i am even a little sad, tab back over, stare at it, feel good

[brittle rose]

free dopamine hack

[agile wedge]

ikr

feels good

[humble nova]

Not capped it’s impacted

You can still transfer to bio

It’s like 50/50

Chances

[blissful zealot]

Not good odds

[humble nova]

Not horrid though

At least you can transfer in

[blissful zealot]

Perchance

[humble nova]

Whatever I got in

[blissful zealot]

It is all a dream

[blissful zealot]

[brittle rose]

letter of rec that’s outside (duh)

[agile wedge]

[humble nova]

[alpine nacelle]

that melange

help i can’t stop sandwalking

i haven’t been able to stop since 10 when the movie ended

holy shit am i the lisan al’gaib

oh nah

[plush coral]

Do UCs accept LOCI for waitlists?

[valid crater]

None of the UC's accept LOCI's and additional documentation.

[steel matrix]

Literally only UCLA and it's not officially labeled a LOCI but you can put a LOCI in there

[hushed terrace]

i needa cook in ucla loci

[turbid ermine]

I have fallen down the YouTube rabbit hole

[gray bronze]

who needs UCSB when UCLA exists

[haughty adder]

Orz

[gray bronze]

MIT waitlist bros not getting out of there

[haughty adder]

Damn

[gray bronze]

bro thinks he’s the goat

[haughty adder]

No i dont:)

[gray bronze]

xxtshh

[valid crater]

nah this is a fairly common result that pops up if you search berkeley videos (i should know)

[tough lark]

(they're not happy btw)

[cold vector]

Quick reminder to all those are for sure not going to a UC / one of them submit your admission denial thing as soon as you can! Students are on the waitlist and are relying on you

[native kiln]

is there ever a situation where one UC rescinds u but another one doesnt

or do they all have the same 2nd sem requirements for admitted students

[royal steppe]

should have i applied to ucsb, beginning to regret cuz a lot of ucs have been rejecting me

[agile wedge]

UCSB has an acceptance rate of like 27ish percent

Yeah last year the admit rate was 27.9 percent

Still a rough school anyway

[royal steppe]

how so

[agile wedge]

Acceptance rate wise I mean

Good school, hard to get into

[royal steppe]

o

[agile wedge]

I mean if the acceptance rates were worrying I’d have done Santa Cruz as an extra school

[royal steppe]

i have ucsc accepted

[agile wedge]

what about Davis?

[royal steppe]

reject davis irvine
waitlist san diego
accepted santa crus

[agile wedge]

I mean that’s a pretty balanced list anyway

I’m assuming you did Berkeley as well

[royal steppe]

Yes

[agile wedge]

Then that’s good

I don’t think you should like regret your list or anything

It’s more balanced than mine

[royal steppe]

whats ur lisr

[agile wedge]

UC Berkeley (pending)
UCLA (rejected)
UCSD (accepted)
UC Davis (accepted)
UC Irvine (rejected)
UC Riverside (accepted)

Before decisions rolled in I regretted not adding UCSC

[royal steppe]

Ah

Bro u chillin tho

You got into SD and Davis

instate?

[agile wedge]

I mean now I’m chilling but before hand I was scared af

[agile wedge]

Yeah in-state

[royal steppe]

ah i see

[agile wedge]

Basically I thought that I’d be rejected everything above Riverside

[royal steppe]

O

i get that

[agile wedge]

yeah it was a little scary fr

anyways, best of luck for cal!

[royal steppe]

you too

[drifting otter]

Guys I need some help
I'm a non-US resident
and I was just filling out the Financial Aid Application for SIP at UCSC
is anyone of you having idea about the same?

[jade quiver]

Upon reviewing my uc essays I realized that my values wasn’t a perfect match for ucla which probably explains the waitlist

But they were similar for ucsd that accepted me whose values are pretty close to Berkeley so I’m hoping that’s a good sign lol

[tidal gale]

literally same manifesting hard rn

[agile wedge]

bros me rn

my thing may work for berkeley and worked for UCSD

[jade quiver]

Fr ucsd’s values and Berkeley’s are pretty close sooooo

Let me in pls

[agile wedge]

so far my top 2 UCs gotten into are Davis and UCSD

i hope those values align w/ berkeley

[jade quiver]

UCD is a bit similar I think

[agile wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/suit-meme-gif-3154536417054843778

[jade quiver]

But I got waitlisted from there lol

[soft cargo]

for what major again

[agile wedge]

Biological Sciences at Davis and Human Bio + John Muir at UCSD

[subtle acorn]

how do you know what their values are??

[jade quiver]

Says on their admissions site

[subtle acorn]

ohhhh

[granite dirge]

im cooked

[humble nova]

how do you know

[jade quiver]

Because I read it

[granite dirge]

lol

[agile wedge]

Type shit

[frigid musk]

what even are ucla values 💀

o wait nvm

[agile wedge]

Good grades

[granite dirge]

being a nerd

[agile wedge]

Do you have good grades but like to party?

and football

[granite dirge]

no but i like to party and drink

[agile wedge]

UCSB

[jade quiver]

Someone got in with a 3.7

[agile wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/cop-scream-funny-angry-meme-gif-2595820029748611598

[honest vine]

hope :D

[honest vine]

thank god

[granite dirge]

WHAT

[granite dirge]

neuroscience too?

TF

[subtle acorn]

cracked ecs prob

[granite dirge]

btw did the acceptance rate for ucsc drop

this year

[coarse dock]

probably

[jade quiver]

Acceptance rates seem to drop every year so

Because number of applicants keep going up

[deep anvil]

i somehow got waitlisted with a 4.3W

for ucsc cs

[jade quiver]

Cs is pretty crazy for ucs this year

[halcyon galleon]

That's actually insane

In state or out of state?

[jade quiver]

Probably in state

People in the comments say theh got in with a 3.4

Lol

Goes to show gpa isn’t everything

[honest vine]

i got waitlisted with a good gpa and essays ig

friday wasnt a good day

[jade quiver]

I got waitlisted with a 4.5 lol

Whoever said ucla is all gpa is lying

[honest vine]

no were talking abt ucsc bro

😔

[granite dirge]

i got rejected from ucsc econ

[honest vine]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-sad-cat-cat-depressed-depression-gif-13240550249247957481

[jade quiver]

Oh

[granite dirge]

hurted me for a while

[honest vine]

oh indeed

[jade quiver]

UCSC is mid anyways

Stoner school

[honest vine]

u know whats not mid?
ESS JAY ESS YOO

[granite dirge]

peak campus

nah srsly penn state better

[agile wedge]

Bro was researching brain cancer

[subtle acorn]

LMAO

[humble nova]

Ik people who got in last year w a 3.4 and 3.0

[strong palm]

I thought

Minimum was 3.5

[coarse dock]

it's 3.0 in-state

[nova bridge]

guys if i gotrejected everywhere but riverside do i have a chance at sb

[coarse dock]

didnt you already get into neu

is sb better than neu 😭

[nova bridge]

ranking wise yeah not necessarily for my major but its closer to home

[coarse dock]

ohh i see

[alpine nacelle]

is 3.7 even that bad uw

i feel like that's pretty good

esp if you're taking the hardest classes

[nova bridge]

its not people here are just wilding

[nova bridge]

surely i get berkeley then right

3.4 🤩

[alpine nacelle]

yeah ik someone who got into chicago with a 3.6 range uw score

[agile wedge]

I got into UCSD with a 3.65 uw

[limpid goblet]

bro why couldnt that have been me 🧍‍♀️

[hasty leaf]

One friend told me that getting into la means you won’t get Berkeley, is the cross-admit rate really that bad?

[agile wedge]

Every time I hear someone get into one I usually hear they didn’t get into the other

Like Berkeley but no UCLA

And UCLA but no Berkeley

Have never met anyone to get both

[limpid goblet]

i imagine ucla and berkeley definitely have their aos talk to each other

[humble nova]

maybe

[agile wedge]

I figured the whole time I didn’t have any shot at UCLA but a shot at Berkeley

it just depends on your environment around you too and how many others at your school apply to the school in question

This year, LOW applications to SD and Berkeley

any other year I don’t get into SD

[hasty leaf]

Looks like it’s Cal-over for me

[fervent pond]

How many apps did Berkeley have this yr

Did they say

[agile wedge]

From my school specifically

[limpid goblet]

bro this college app process fr makes me mad sometimes yesterday i had a friend who almost chose merced over purdue

for no reason at all they were just like uh idk i just know smoeone who goes to merced like girl did no research she even got a scholoarship at purdue too 😭

[limpid goblet]

me when competitive bay area school

[agile wedge]

competitive Bay Area students after ending up at Riverside when anywhere else they could’ve had a shot for something better:

[hasty leaf]

Every day I thank God I wasn’t raised in the Bay Area

[jade quiver]

Real

[agile wedge]

My parents nearly chose the Bay Area

Thank fuck they picked LA

[fervent pond]

I live in the Bay Area

[jade quiver]

I was born in the Bay Area but I got moved

[hasty leaf]

Sorry for your loss.

[limpid goblet]

my parents moved to the bay area 😭

[fervent pond]

Why

[limpid goblet]

i grew up in a rlly bad town apparently

[hasty leaf]

mfw Bay Area

[limpid goblet]

still in cali

[kind jay]

I’m in the Bay Area of my state 🥶

[humble nova]

me if I went to sf high schools

[fervent pond]

I love it here but yes it’s competitive. Cost of living high but it’s slay

[heady cobalt]

bruh this is cap

[heady cobalt]

most of my friends in college r chillin bc hs was harder than college

[jade quiver]

Bay Area kids have no upsides lol

Other than saying they’re from the bay

[acoustic ibex]

now that is terrifying

[heady cobalt]

except maybe having a better work life balance

[fervent pond]

You’ve probably never been to the bay or gotten the opportunity to know someone well from the bay then

💀

[heady cobalt]

OMFG

ikr

[jade quiver]

Nah I know people from the bay

My cousin is one of them

[heady cobalt]

they js yapping lmfao

[fervent pond]

Fr

We’re too slay

[agile wedge]

The one time I went to the bay the vehicle I had been in got smashed into

[heady cobalt]

maybe they read ur discord messages on the Bay Area

[agile wedge]

such an aesthetic fr fr 🤪⭐🔥

[jade quiver]

Ikr

I love not having in n out

I went to the bay and got mugged literally 5 minutes in

[fervent pond]

This could happen anywhere? Also if this was San Francisco then honestly accurate

[heady cobalt]

u can get mugged anywhere

[agile wedge]

Yeah SF

[heady cobalt]

there are a lot of safe places in the bay

[fervent pond]

You guys prob think SF is the only part of the Bay Area

[jade quiver]

No I been to Pleasanton

[heady cobalt]

bro real

[jade quiver]

My cousin got hit by a car there lmao

[hasty leaf]

Real

I was the car

[agile wedge]

it’s not ?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!

gee willikers i had no idea

[acoustic ibex]

wait SF isn't the entire bay area?

[agile wedge]

apparently not

[heady cobalt]

wait la isn’t the only relevant city in SoCal

[fervent pond]

You’re basing your negative perception of the Bay Area from this

[acoustic ibex]

are you suggesting LA is not the entirety of SoCal?

[fervent pond]

Dk why you’re being negative lol

[heady cobalt]

idk am I

[agile wedge]

Who said I viewed the entire bay as negative?

[jade quiver]

Because sf is like 50% of the bay

[heady cobalt]

real lmfao

[acoustic ibex]

you better not be

[heady cobalt]

what if I am

[agile wedge]

I shared one experience and made no claim off of it

[heady cobalt]

💀

[acoustic ibex]

whoa ucla sent me three texts

[fervent pond]

You’re strongly implying it?

[heady cobalt]

they want u bro

[limpid goblet]

like

[acoustic ibex]

i mean im two weeks away from committing at this point

[agile wedge]

and if I prefer LA is there an issue?

[jade quiver]

No it was a Mexican guy

[heady cobalt]

u do realize most ppl that live in the bay is because their parents work in the Silicon Valley or their parents have jobs here

[heady cobalt]

it’s not bc of the education system alone

[limpid goblet]

bay area isnt that terrible a place to live honestly

[limpid goblet]

this yea

[jade quiver]

Nah no way

[limpid goblet]

my dad works in silicon valley and thats a good reason why we moved

[heady cobalt]

bro really thinks we spawned in the bay

[fervent pond]

That you’re joining in on the convo abt not liking the Bay Area. Ofc ppl are going to defend it

[heady cobalt]

God chose me to live in the Bay Area

lmfao

[agile wedge]

which is fine

[limpid goblet]

LMAOOO

my dad said i couldve used my taiwanese citizenship to apply as an international student

but i think that wouldve destroyed my chances further

[jade quiver]

Personal opinion is just SoCal is lowkey better

[limpid goblet]

socal is cool

[agile wedge]

SoCal is cool but I like the fog of the Bay Area

[limpid goblet]

i liked the vibes of socal

[heady cobalt]

yea I love SoCal too

[agile wedge]

[hasty leaf]

Did a summer program at ucsb two years ago, great beachside campus but my god there’s a concrete jungle if I’ve ever seen one

[fervent pond]

UCSB is beautiful

[halcyon galleon]

Ah so the rest of my application was just garbage

Fair enough I guess

[limpid goblet]

what on earth is going on in the cmu thread

[acoustic ibex]

it just be like that

[fervent pond]

The effects of rolling decision lol

[limpid goblet]

[hasty leaf]

For your own sanity don’t go on the Harvard or Yale threads

[limpid goblet]

L cmu honestly

[acoustic ibex]

[limpid goblet]

[acoustic ibex]

[limpid goblet]

[fervent pond]

Cmu thread is worse

[upper mango]

The best thread is obviously #1135711658887622666

[limpid goblet]

cmu bashing goes crazy

[limpid goblet]

dude i loved that thread

[fervent pond]

Oop

[limpid siren]

[fervent pond]

Cosmos I’m guessing

I forgot which UCs do cosmos tho

[hasty leaf]

RMP

[hushed terrace]

rmp is so goated

[honest vine]

HOLYY

[fervent pond]

Ok not cosmos

[honest vine]

thats hard to get into

[alpine nacelle]

[fervent pond]

Did you answer?

[hasty leaf]

You’re in bro

[humble mauve]

UCI I believe

[fervent pond]

Ye most likely

[alpine nacelle]

oh fuck no its ucsc

[alpine nacelle]

no i got in to both

[fervent pond]

Slay

[alpine nacelle]

they were calling abt a nyc admitted students

[hasty leaf]

Www

[humble mauve]

Oh multiple do it

[alpine nacelle]

but why is it from a no caller id number wtf

[wicked isle]

?

[hasty leaf]

Honestly wish I did a reaction vid

[carmine mantle]

Is it worth it to do the waitlist letter for ucla?

[granite dirge]

i mean u got into neu so maybe

[granite dirge]

both are trash

[agile wedge]

[hasty leaf]

I mean, it can't hurt

[humble nova]

Neu took my friend who was test optional and has a 3.5 gpa ed and wl me w a 4.4 gpa with a 1520 rd so

Interesting admissions

[plucky sentinel]

guess your commonapp essay smells

gg go next

[humble nova]

Nah I got into common app schools

[plucky sentinel]

neu just tweaking

[humble nova]

Majority of a2c did not land neu and Ik a ton that got ivies and not neu 💀

[plucky sentinel]

actually nvm i didnt fully read it

es moment

ed moment

most likely

[humble nova]

Yeah

They accepted like

60% Ed something like that

[plucky sentinel]

blud thinks theyre uchicago

[granite dirge]

well im one of the rares that got none so

[atomic fulcrum]

from my school usually ~15 ucla, ~10 berkley, ~5-7 to both. grad class of <600ish

[frigid musk]

Today I heard of someone at my school who didn’t get a single UC acceptance (so far) despite getting GT, UT Austin, and UofT 😭

UCs are insane this year

[steel matrix]

nah yeah ik some hella qualified people who have been rejected at every uc

[granite dirge]

im assuming oos

[frigid musk]

there was also a girl who got the supplemental review request from ucla and just. didn’t do it 💀 and she still got in lol

Kinda silly lol

[opaque sonnet]

mine is like 20 to la 15 to berk

but class of 900 so

[atomic fulcrum]

in state

[acoustic ibex]

What LOL

[frigid musk]

10 to Berkeley and 10 to ucla per year 😭🙏

[atomic fulcrum]

my school is very uncompetitive except for about like 150 students per graduating class that take ib/ap classes

[frigid musk]

Idk 😭 I’m still really surprised

she got into Business Economics too which is extra wild

[wicked isle]

Mine would be filled with tons of waitlists 😊

[atomic fulcrum]

but i know quite a few students this year that were admitted

so maybe im just

misremembering

[acoustic ibex]

I think like 4 people got in out of my class of 580

[wicked isle]

I seriously don’t understand a lot of decisions that are happening at my school

Feels so random

For the UCs at least

[atomic fulcrum]

actually wait sorry my data only includes the ib students at my school for some reason lol

[frigid musk]

It feels like a slaughter this year

[atomic fulcrum]

so maybe that + 8ish 9ish students

maybe its just bc i know a lot of competitive students but i feel like we've been doing really well

[wicked isle]

Now that I think abt ucla was really weird for my school, only bio majors got into ucla. From a poll done at my school, seems like no engineering or other majors got into ucla

It’s just all bio

[atomic fulcrum]

dude all the ucsd admits i know got into seventh no matter what college they applied to / ranked for

[frigid musk]

Wild

[atomic fulcrum]

that was weird

[wicked isle]

Lucky asses that was mine but i got waitlist

[atomic fulcrum]

fair

[wicked isle]

I’m just kinda down with UCs this year most cs and engineering applicants only peaked at uci

A lot are devastated but many did private

[frigid musk]

it’s a nightmare to get into engineering at a public school 😭

[acoustic ibex]

Nightmare to get anything at a public school 💀

[atomic fulcrum]

yea there were some really disappointing letdowns for some of my friends man

its a weird process

[plush coral]

what are the chances of me getting rejected by uci and ucla, waitlisted by ucsd, and get accepted to berkeley

[hasty leaf]

roughly about the same as if you got any different decisions from those schools

[west goblet]

100

[granite dirge]

and thats why i didnt do engineering

[hasty leaf]

but i have seen people get rejected/wl at SD/I/LA and then get into berkeley

[gentle obsidian]

greater than 0

[plush coral]

yup yup i'm gonna stay delusional 🥰

[hasty leaf]

at the very least, do not count yourself out.

[humble nova]

What time is ucsb tmr

[brittle rose]

3-3:30

[wicked isle]

How do u have the same results as my valedictorian friend 😭

[plush coral]

i'm just an average international student

[wicked isle]

What’s worse is my friend is instate

[humble nova]

Wow fun right after school

[plush coral]

doesn't ucsb release by last name or smt

[wicked isle]

It’s all tmr check thr thread

[frigid musk]

I think you’re confusing them for Santa Cruz

[limpid goblet]

sc already all released, no?

[frigid musk]

Ik but they’re the only UC that mentioned using last names to release decisions

[jade quiver]

They didn’t really follow that because I got my decision earlier than what they stated in the email based off my last name

[soft cargo]

is sb coming out tomorrow?

[royal steppe]

yes

[static geode]

dead serious, if youre not going to uci for engineering, plz do this, i need to go to school next year

[soft cargo]

is sb lower than davis

Guyss Pls who are not planning to join UCSD please reject offer, I want to get off the waitlist

[honest vine]

does anyone know if this year's acceptance rate for davis or sb is higher?

[hushed terrace]

davis will most likely be higher

[honest vine]

noooooooooo

[humble nova]

Yes way lower

[humble nova]

I’m sure they will! I will probably reject my offer mid April :)

[honest vine]

noooooooooo

[soft cargo]

like i meant ranking wise

[humble nova]

Sb, sd, and Irvine are usually around similar acceptance rates

[honest vine]

noooooooooo

[humble nova]

Ohh Davis is higher this year

[humble nova]

Don’t worry though you can definitely get in!

[soft cargo]

Wasn’t too impressed

[cold vector]

SB day

[agile wedge]

Oh yeah

It is SB day

[unkempt drift]

hey guys. if we have general questions about our admission and stuff, is it alright if we email our regional admissions counselor?

[upper mango]

Not anxious cause i prefer uci and ucsd but still hoping for a dub

[agile wedge]

Type shit but sometimes the UCs can be confusing

[upper mango]

yeah lol but if i get in im probably withdrawing asap to help waitlisted peeps

But i dont wanna rush so ill wait to see

[fervent pond]

I assume so. I don’t think there’d by any harm. You could also call the admissions office

[upper mango]

Wait nvm they have a good econ program

https://tenor.com/view/bomboclat-lightning-bomboclat-gif-4446692519287829585

[unkempt drift]

I'm international, so the latter option isn't the most preferrable. But thank you for this!

[uncut raft]

UC 👏 👏

SB 👏 👏

[teal rivet]

Yeah these rockets are also kind of the same thing they’re not like extraordinary or anything

[cold vector]

Ive emailed my admission counselors for varies schools a few times

just for questions and stuff

[unkempt drift]

yep me too, but i think public colleges' AOs were slightly less responsive for me. Will be msging my AO tho, thanks!

[cold vector]

mines mixed

one of my top unverisities that i got into AO just never responds to me lol

but everytime ive emailed him the next day a newsletter goes out answering what i ask

[fervent pond]

Ofc, emailing will be fine, but as you said, for public colleges they’ll be less responsive especially for UCs during this time since there’s a lot of applicants

[unkempt drift]

i hope that in my case at least, given i've got into the college, they may be a bit more preferential for my mail lol. will be mailing them today. thanks guys!
