All UCs 🐻🐮🐴🐱🐶🔱🤠🐌 (2023-2024)

[teal rivet]

Ah yeah I have a friend in maths cs and he said to not do maths and cs 😭

And yes he’s the basketball manager guy

[jade quiver]

I heard it’s just a math degree lol

I’m not sure how useful it would be

[teal rivet]

Yeah it is 😭

[jade quiver]

Maybe for machine learning

[teal rivet]

he said he wouldn’t wish it on his worst enemy 😭

[jade quiver]

But I am pretty interested in ML lol

[teal rivet]

it’s a glorified maths degree

[jade quiver]

Yeah that’s basically cs too

[teal rivet]

I think it’s still highly ranked

Cuz ucsd is high on discrete maths

[jade quiver]

My only concern is how good math cs would be for a job lol

[teal rivet]

I mean it’s fine ngl

I know people with pure maths

In SWE

it’s fine

[jade quiver]

Pure maths in swe is pretty crazy

[teal rivet]

If it’s ur last option tho

[teal rivet]

Not rlly

[jade quiver]

Honestly it’s not bad because coding isn’t that bad to learn by yourself

[teal rivet]

it’s kinda common path for mathematicians

that and data science

[jade quiver]

I’ve heard plenty of other engineering degrees go into swe field

[teal rivet]

Yeah I was talking about that in anothe thread

[jade quiver]

Always thought pure maths was kinda useless

[teal rivet]

😭

The difficulty actually helps

but u gotta do a lot of grinding on ur own

Definitely wouldn’t do it tho

Maths + CS is mid

Especially ucsd’s course

[shell lark]

Wait did you get undeclared Letters and Science?

because that’s what I got

[brittle rose]

if you're not into math and only doing it for the cs, don't do it

[undone tendon]

really ? ucsd houses the supercomputer center which is pretty neat so i thought their cs was good

[jade quiver]

Yeah

[heady cobalt]

yeaa i saw that too

pls accept me off waitlist ;((

[jade quiver]

I mean math is pretty cool imo but I do prefer the coding side more

But it’s not really something I feel like I’d despise

[shell lark]

Berkeley pls save me 🙏🏾

[undone tendon]

gl to all waitlist ppl !

if berkley doesn’t take me uci it is for me

[brittle rose]

it's just that you'll be taking a lot of math classes that won't be useful for swe and cs stuff

[jade quiver]

Yeah I know because it’s a math degree

[elder apex]

i feel dumb for not checking ucs aid policies

[shell lark]

Do you think I’ll be able to switch to cs for sb?

[jade quiver]

But the coding stuff you could definitely also learn on your own ngl

Obviously I’d still take cs but

[shell lark]

because for me it’s between that, UCR or ucsc

[royal steppe]

fr, its been a nice ride UC admissions

[brittle rose]

@shell lark what major did you get in?

[jade quiver]

Probably not, switching to cs in any school is basically impossible

[shell lark]

Nah cause I got rejected UCI, ucsd and ucla

[shell lark]

Yeah that’s what I was thinking

[lean hull]

how good is stats and data science at ucsb? i was planning to double major in it with my pbs major

[shell lark]

ucsb undeclared Letters and Science

[jade quiver]

You’re not going to be able to switch

Entirely different colleges

[shell lark]

yeah

[jade quiver]

At that point i don’t really know why they still admit people as undeclared

[shell lark]

After all those rejections ucsb was my last hope (I have no hope for ucb) and it sucks like at this point they should have just rejected me

[jade quiver]

Yeah I get it, but depending on what your passion is ucsb might not be a bad option either

It’s just you can only declare a major in l&s

[shell lark]

UCR is a great school but the problem is it’s only 20 minutes away from me and I wanted to yk leave

[royal steppe]

for me:
rejected davis irvine
waitlist san diego
accepted santa cruz, but idk if im enthused about it

[shell lark]

I got wl Davis

[soft cargo]

still a chance

[royal steppe]

im realizing if i chose the small private high school (only 8 kids apply UC there), i could have been getting acceptance after acceptance

[elder apex]

it will work out trust

[royal steppe]

cuz i think they choose out of ur school pool right

[shell lark]

omg I applied EECS for ucb 😭

[brittle rose]

more like around your county

[jade quiver]

It’s not impossible, my friend got in EECs last year without much notable ECs

[royal steppe]

the private high school i could have gone to is a city about 20min away from where i live when there is no traffic

[jade quiver]

But it could be a region thing too

[teal rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/ram-charan-soldier-army-windy-back-gif-16491431

EECS Berkeley

[soft cargo]

still a chance

[brittle rose]

wouldn't have made much of a difference imo

[shell lark]

Don’t feed into my delusions 😭

[elder apex]

lmao we're all delusional

[royal steppe]

hmm
maybe but the class size is a lot smaller there, 30 kdis per grade level vs 600-700 at my current school

either way too late to have regrest haha

[teal rivet]

Just don’t romanticize it and you will be fine in decisions day

[undone tendon]

my school is rlly competitive n i swear we’re all getting rejected from the ucs this year it sucks

[exotic finch]

math-cs is not currently impacted! you can switch in

[undone tendon]

AIDEN

[tough lark]

Bay Area?

[undone tendon]

MY GIY

GUY

[exotic finch]

MYLO

[undone tendon]

HELLO

[exotic finch]

HELLO

[undone tendon]

socal

[exotic finch]

how are we

[royal steppe]

are you?

[undone tendon]

rainey n i rejected ucsb 😭

[royal steppe]

same here tho

[exotic finch]

are u filling em in on the lore

[undone tendon]

YES

[exotic finch]

same here :(

[tough lark]

Bro ain't no way Socal complaining when Bay area is get railed this hard this cycle lmao

[exotic finch]

thanks ex dream school

[undone tendon]

I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW YOURE GETTING REJECTED

[tough lark]

mhm

[undone tendon]

U LIT HAVE SM CODING ECs

[exotic finch]

nah bro u dont know our school

[royal steppe]

ayeee me too

[tough lark]

mhm

[exotic finch]

ranked like #2 or #3 in cali

[royal steppe]

bay area gets railed every cycle bro

[undone tendon]

we’re top 50 public hs in the country

[exotic finch]

like it beats a bunch of the bay area schools

[undone tendon]

yea

[exotic finch]

and thats NOT a flex

[elder apex]

yall schools so cool

[royal steppe]

i think my school is a T20 or T10, i forget

[tough lark]

Lmfao fair nuff

[exotic finch]

shit SUCKS

[undone tendon]

its rough out here buddy

[exotic finch]

tf? gunn?

palo alto?

[royal steppe]

no and no

[tough lark]

those are bay area schools yes

[exotic finch]

i have so many non-coding ECs too but

[exotic finch]

idek whats in the t10

[undone tendon]

:(

[royal steppe]

(btw i just looked up T10-20 CA high schools on US news, i was kinda surprised, like its known in the area but didnt know it was that top)

[tough lark]

high school rankings fake tbf

[plucky sentinel]

i feel like the more “competitive” a hs the less people have chances to personally develop and train their reflection ability necessary to write essays but idk

[royal steppe]

im mistaken its T20, but very close to T10

[royal steppe]

kinda true tbh

[plucky sentinel]

im also a huge believer in english so im just unsure

[tough lark]

they can't even measure them truthfully anymore cause back then they measured average test score

and like nobody takes the damn tests anymore

[wicked isle]

Our school has a famous theory. Started from 2021, we had a vast majority of kids rejected from all UCs, except two. One of those two were always Berkeley. Weirdly enough this theory has remained true for the last two years. I mean there has been kids who sweeped the entire uc and got into berk also

[undone tendon]

i dont think so ?

[fervent pond]

🤨

[hushed terrace]

huhh

[tough lark]

that's like saying rich people can't be nice

[brittle rose]

one of the more interesting take I've seen on here

[tough lark]

math is not mathing?

[fervent pond]

The more competitive the school, the harder it is for the applicants since they have higher standards

[royal steppe]

wha-
personally i dont think i shaped a lot of my experience at HS based on doing everything for colleges, and i come from a competitive school

[tough lark]

I can sorta agree to that

[royal steppe]

yea thats true

[tough lark]

as someone from a not t500 school

[fervent pond]

Same lol

[tough lark]

I can confirm that we get railed too

[fervent pond]

My district is known for being rlly competitive and the people r insane

[tough lark]

my district is known for being polarizing

[royal steppe]

same here

[tough lark]

ok didn't you just say ur school is t10

[royal steppe]

T20 i got it wrong

[tough lark]

bro my school is like

[royal steppe]

also the school is good
but the district is not

[tough lark]

probably 300+

[royal steppe]

i see

[tough lark]

honestly I wouldn't wish that my high school went any different

it was amazing and getting railed by UCs together with everyone was honestly really fun

[royal steppe]

yea

i met a lot of chill ppl

but also lol i think one of my friends is almost sweeping UCs (better than me at least)
they applied everything except merced and riverside and got all except irvine and LA

[brittle rose]

goated

[royal steppe]

IKR

[jade quiver]

Lowkey me except waitlisted davis too 💀

[royal steppe]

damn congrats bro

[jade quiver]

Thanks

Hoping for Berkeley 🙏

[keen dew]

uci did some crazy yield protection

[brittle rose]

wait that's me..except I got rejected by 2 more csus 💀

[limber cipher]

that got me in though fr

[hushed terrace]

convincing myself this cuz it’s the only uc that rejected me 🙈

[void musk]

waitlisted davis n sb rejected SD Irvine n LA am i cooked for berkeley

[royal steppe]

i've been sweeping CSUs tho

except SLO aint answering

[hushed terrace]

what major

[keen dew]

unironic cuz ik a guy who got in mit and caltech but didn't get uci

[void musk]

econ n sociology for ucb

[brittle rose]

yea it's called slow what did you expect

[hushed terrace]

SAME i sweeped csu’s thankfully

[royal steppe]

true

[hushed terrace]

was econ your first choice

[void musk]

ya

[hushed terrace]

ahh okay p sure econ is a high demand major so it might be harder to get into

but berk is also the most holistic so

you never know

[void musk]

thats the only part im hopeful about lmfao

[hushed terrace]

yeah same i’m relying on that 😭

[hushed terrace]

DAMN

[void musk]

if notnortheastern is fine ig😭😭😭😭

[hushed terrace]

wait yeah northeastern is great!!

what campus?

[void musk]

nu in

[hushed terrace]

ooooh nice

[void musk]

som bout cali tho man

ive always wanted to live there

[hushed terrace]

fr even tho im in state cali isn’t liking me 😭😭😭

[void musk]

dayummmmm i have faith in you man

usc and ucb my last cali prayers

[hushed terrace]

ahh tyty

same berk is my last hope 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[void musk]

ya wud rather go to neu than ucsb right?

if i got econ for ucsb and bz for neu

[hushed terrace]

oooh okay i’m kinda biased for ucsb cuz my sister went there for econ & accounting

depends what type of college life you want imo

academics are p comparable

[jaunty kettle]

does uc berekley look at mid year report

[wicked isle]

No

[pale carbon]

is sb better than davis

[frigid musk]

wrote a fat essay hating on the UC system <333

[hushed terrace]

in what way/aspect

[brittle rose]

i would pay to see

[pale carbon]

ykw nvm

[brittle rose]

socially yea, major depends

[hushed terrace]

is there any way all the socal uc’s waitlisted me cuz my app has sm tech & entrepreneurship related stuff aka silicon valley aka norcal uc’s aka berkeley (im coping)

[jade quiver]

I don’t think that would have any effect

Maybe admissions thinks your application aligns more with Berkeley’s values so they’re not sure if you would accept lol

[jaunty kettle]

what if my counsellor sent it to the uni

will they ignore it?

[wheat flower]

That’s why I got rejected 🙏

[hushed terrace]

yeah that’s what i mean lol

[wheat flower]

I don’t have a single thing related to my major or mention it in my uc app💀

[frigid musk]

probably

[wicked isle]

Most likely

[wheat field]

im so cooked

all waitlists and rejections just berkeley left

[jade quiver]

Nah trust the process

[twilit escarp]

I would have saved $480 if I only applied to Santa Cruz

[wheat field]

my 400 dollars is going down the drain rn

unless i somehow clutch up berkeley

[heady cobalt]

yes we willl

[jade quiver]

I'm applying the most competitive major lol i'm cooked

should've picked eecs

[twilit escarp]

After Berkeley comes out I will have almost reverse swept the UCs

[wheat field]

i picked eecs

im still cooked

[jade quiver]

Yeah i should've done eecs because its acceptance is slightly higher than cs

[humble nova]

I know I’m not one to talk guys but everything works out I promise 🫂 trust me life can always be worse

[jade quiver]

Fr like you could be living in Wyoming or something

[wheat field]

im hoping im one of those people who get like screwed over the UCs but goes somewhere cracked

[jade quiver]

yield 100%

my cousin is getting waitlisted everywhere but he got UW

so yeah UCs are weird

[wheat field]

ucs are hella weird this year especially

[jade quiver]

especially irvine lol

A lot of cracked people got slapped by irvine

[twilit escarp]

UCs care a lot about ur gpa

[jade quiver]

not really

[wheat field]

i heard otherwise since everybody cracked

[jade quiver]

I've seen people with 3.7 accepted to UCLA

[twilit escarp]

I mean for my school at least

if u have more than 1 B ur cooked for LA

[wheat field]

same with mine too

as in lower gpas get accepted

none of the cracked ppl at my school got it except for like 1

[twilit escarp]

yeah then Irvine randomly accepts this dude for civil engineering who got a C in physics

[wheat field]

my uc cosmos is going to waste bruh

i swear bro if the only way i get into a uc is with the statewide guarantee

[twilit escarp]

The only reason I got into Santa Cruz was because I didn’t do engineering there

I probably would have gotten fucked if I did

[wheat field]

a cruel day to be a stem major

im curious what the acceptance rates are this year

[wheat flower]

I need to know the cs acceptance rates bruh

[jade quiver]

cs acceptances for every uc is low except for maybe merced

[wheat field]

cause like 2022 it was like 34 for ucsd and jumped down to 21 for 2023

[jade quiver]

I got ucsc cs surprisingly

CS for ucr is like 31%

[wheat flower]

UCSD, and SB what u think

[twilit escarp]

i could see UCI and UCSD dropping below 20

[wheat field]

UCSD cs is hella hard

[jade quiver]

ucsd is definitely <10% lol

[wheat field]

its the second best UC for cs

[twilit escarp]

i did aero

[wheat flower]

Damn they said this dude with no ECs we want you 🔥🔥

[twilit escarp]

that was NOT a good idea

[wheat flower]

😭😭

[jade quiver]

yeah it could probably be just a space thing

[twilit escarp]

i also wrote 3 piqs in one day which was probably an even worse idea

[jade quiver]

You could be qualified but if they already filled cs then you're cooked

so its also luck

[wheat flower]

Somehow I got into sc sb sd waitlist ucla for cs

[soft cargo]

they're all low bc cali kids all wanna do cs and they spam apply ucs bc same app

[brittle rose]

def not I wrote 2 in a day 💀

[wheat field]

the struggle of being a cs major

[jade quiver]

yeah bruh everyone in the bay especially

[wheat field]

i wrote like one a day 4 days before deadline

[jade quiver]

12,000 applicants for ucla cs last year lol

while mech had like 4,000

[twilit escarp]

I should’ve ditched on the deadline but i think i had a test or something

fml

[brittle rose]

congrats for nw?

[soft cargo]

close to 30% of my class is gonna major in cs and everyone spam applied to ucs lol

[jade quiver]

me too but not cs for sb and sd

[jade quiver]

half of them are gonna drop out lol

once they realize cs isn't an "easy 6-figure job"

[soft cargo]

most are gonna get cooked in cs

yea

[humble nova]

Fr or you could spend your entire senior year stuck with an illness you don’t know how to fix (imagine that fr)

[soft cargo]

including me lmao

[jade quiver]

sounds like a banger essay topic

[wheat field]

not yet (hopefully)

[jade quiver]

jk

[hushed terrace]

do they not care how competitive cs is

[jade quiver]

hope you're getting better

[soft cargo]

they all ended up getting rejected and go to sjsu or cc

[humble nova]

😭 the number of times people have said that to me makes me want to cry

[hushed terrace]

oh 😭

[wheat field]

my chance at NU is higher than the ucs apparently

[jade quiver]

probably gonna be me lol

sjsu cs fr

[twilit escarp]

these guys get destroyed in CS admissions only to drop it after the first weeder

[soft cargo]

my entire class had 1 ucla cs and 1 berk eecs

everyone got cooked

[jade quiver]

A hook is a hook ig

[soft cargo]

ucsd was like 3 people for cs/ds

[blissful zealot]

That 1berk eecs was you wasn’t it

[hushed terrace]

DAMN and you were the eecs im assuming

[jade quiver]

yeah my class last year had 1 berk eecs and everyone else was humanities

[soft cargo]

both were me 😛

[brittle rose]

I don't know the cs acceptance rate at sb but for compe:

[jade quiver]

we barely have stem actually from our school

[hushed terrace]

cracked

[blissful zealot]

😳

[blissful zealot]

Stats???

[wheat flower]

I should’ve applied for philosophy

[brittle rose]

20% is pretty damn high

[soft cargo]

ok mr princeton 28

[jade quiver]

bros crazy

[blissful zealot]

Berkeley my dream school stats plz

[twilit escarp]

That’s not even that bad

For CE at least

[blissful zealot]

Ok Mr Princeton 2.0 on march 28

[wheat field]

i applied CE and i got cooked

[soft cargo]

hoping i cook on ivy day 🙏

[blissful zealot]

Same

[soft cargo]

prolly not but a man can dream

[blissful zealot]

Pton best ivy

[jade quiver]

im hoping my piqs resonate with berkeley

[soft cargo]

valid

[hushed terrace]

same

[jade quiver]

i think they align pretty well with their values

but idk

[twilit escarp]

I did brown and cornell

[blissful zealot]

You got a better shot then people Ik it’s ok ( @wheat flower )

[twilit escarp]

both apps sucked ass

[jade quiver]

ivy day will cook me

[soft cargo]

i wrote about chicken fried rice bro

they be skimming the piqs

[jade quiver]

bruh

[jade quiver]

lol im fried

[soft cargo]

uc berkeley only reads ur app for <5 min

[heady cobalt]

guys which is harder

[hushed terrace]

LMAO which prompt??

[wheat field]

my piqs resonate more with ucla but my stats and ecs resonate more with berk

[soft cargo]

creativity piq

[wheat field]

im cooked

[heady cobalt]

ca poly slo cs or uc Berkeley undeclared???

[blissful zealot]

No wonder they rejected me :(

[soft cargo]

berkeley undeclared in what college

[wheat flower]

I’m cooked for ivies I didn’t write as much for something I should’ve

[heady cobalt]

engineering 💀

[blissful zealot]

Same

[heady cobalt]

pls im delusional

[soft cargo]

engineering undeclared?

[heady cobalt]

I need uc berk

[heady cobalt]

yea

[soft cargo]

1000% uc berkeley

engineering undeclared -> eecs isnt that hard of a switch

[heady cobalt]

I said which is harder

[jade quiver]

My stats for ivy's are definitely on the lower end so i need essays to carry lol

[heady cobalt]

oo really

[blissful zealot]

Berkeley prolly. I love cal poly tho

[heady cobalt]

tysm abhi

[jade quiver]

i really should've applied eecs lol

[soft cargo]

oh ucb engineering undeclared is fs harder

[heady cobalt]

oh god

no

pls accept me uc Berkeley

[blissful zealot]

Same

[heady cobalt]

wait do they look at ur alternate major

[hushed terrace]

i didn’t even write abt my #1 ec in any of my ivy supps and then 5 days after submitting this tiktok college counselor said you’re cooked if you don’t write abt your num 1 ec 💀

[soft cargo]

ucb engineering undeclared is hella hard it's def not a back door to eecs it's like just as difficult

[wheat field]

whats the eecs AR vs cs AR for ucb

[soft cargo]

i think so?

[wheat field]

is it that significant

[heady cobalt]

oo thank god

[soft cargo]

both around 3%

[blissful zealot]

No

Berkeley doesn’t

[wheat field]

figured

[jade quiver]

no

they review only for your first major

[heady cobalt]

bro I only need uc Berkeley atp

[blissful zealot]

^

[wheat flower]

…. That’s what I did

[soft cargo]

oh fr? i got rejected met and got into eecs so idk

[wheat flower]

May be cooked

[heady cobalt]

I will withdraw everything else if I get uc Berkeley

[blissful zealot]

Maybe it’s because MET is like .001% ar

💀

[soft cargo]

met is 1%

[heady cobalt]

im not lying guys im ars

[soft cargo]

imma transfer in bro 🙏

[wheat flower]

I wrote about my number 1 ec in additional info and I barely wrote a few sentences 💀 didn’t write about in any supps

[blissful zealot]

Same thing

[heady cobalt]

I wanted to do MET

but it’s so hard

[hushed terrace]

statistics shdnt be that popular of a major at berk right

[heady cobalt]

might js do a MBA at haas later

[blissful zealot]

Bros #1 ec was jv tennis for 3 years

😭

[wheat field]

stats prolly one of the higher ends of being popular but not too popular

[wheat flower]

Dude is always 🏇🏇

[blissful zealot]

LMAO

[heady cobalt]

bro my entire piqs was my ecs and my depression

which is bad

[jade quiver]

idk i think its also grouped in with college of computing

[heady cobalt]

I shouldn’t have yapped about ecs

[hushed terrace]

ooh

[jade quiver]

ccdss

[blissful zealot]

@soft cargo u choosing pton over eecs right?

[soft cargo]

idk

[wheat field]

im just saying that tho dont take my word for it

[blissful zealot]

Bro was lying

[soft cargo]

tbh i only thing stanford over eecs and id have to think about it

[hushed terrace]

wait yeah but they don’t compare me to the other cdss applicants right 😭

[soft cargo]

i dont get tons of fin aid

[pliant aspen]

@soft cargo wow new pfp

[soft cargo]

id have to see with my parents

[blissful zealot]

New pfp like every other day

[soft cargo]

cap

[pliant aspen]

yeah cap

[blissful zealot]

😔

[blissful zealot]

Come to pton, trust

[soft cargo]

ok

[wheat flower]

I’ll be there

[jade quiver]

I mean ik a lot of people who also applied stats at berkeley so i would say its still on the competitive end

[wheat flower]

March 28 will prove fruitful

[jade quiver]

probably not as competitive as something like cs or data science

[soft cargo]

im not getting in tho

[blissful zealot]

You’ll meet the goat himself (me)

[jade quiver]

but not sure

[blissful zealot]

Yes u will

[blissful zealot]

😭

[pliant aspen]

@soft cargo jhu tmrw

[hushed terrace]

oh shoot rlly how many ppl do yk who applied stats 😭😭

[humble nova]

No hook is worth the suffering you need to go through

[soft cargo]

i didnt apply

was too lazy

[pliant aspen]

no me

for me

[soft cargo]

oh glgl

[pliant aspen]

smh

[jade quiver]

my cousin and some other kids

[pliant aspen]

how was rohp

did it happen alr

[heady cobalt]

uhm a lot

[blissful zealot]

You’re not choosing JHU over MIT (unless you’re premed)

😭

[soft cargo]

i just have cmu friday ivy day then stanford

crazy how it's all over

[pliant aspen]

how does blud not know im premed

[soft cargo]

was good

blud shouldve come

[heady cobalt]

but the trauma lives on

[wheat field]

can these decision dates come any faster

[blissful zealot]

Cause I’m not a stalker

[pliant aspen]

blud wasnt invited

💀

[soft cargo]

i mean u got into like better schools right

[soft cargo]

oh i forgot u were seed

[pliant aspen]

idk

[hushed terrace]

gg i thought it was a major that like no one chooses

[pliant aspen]

i think ive told u before tho

[blissful zealot]

Why’d bro apply to MIT early as a premed 💀

[pliant aspen]

cuz blud dint want to rea or ed

[blissful zealot]

Yea I have short term memory

[pliant aspen]

and didnt think she'd get in

[jade quiver]

berkeley math is actually still pretty top-tier so it would be competitive

[blissful zealot]

😭

[heady cobalt]

I thought the same was for eecs 😭

[pliant aspen]

my fault gang

im like u with QB

[blissful zealot]

How

[hushed terrace]

ah yeah my alt major was applied math which i heard has a p high acceptance rate at berk surprisingly

[jade quiver]

most people chose eecs before to loophole cs lol

[pliant aspen]

list was for funny

[wheat field]

if ur major is like 1-2 words long or have the words cs or engineering its gonna be competitive

unless u picked lesbian dance theory or african drum studies

[jade quiver]

if its anything stem related yeah

[blissful zealot]

What schools did u rank

[hushed terrace]

ahhh cuz like someone posted the numbers for last admissions cycle and only like 633 or smth applied for stats 💀

[pliant aspen]

i didnt do QB

[jade quiver]

except maybe some really niche one like environmental engineering or something

[pliant aspen]

but my ea school was for funny

[blissful zealot]

Oh

Im slow

💀

[pliant aspen]

i know dw

[wheat field]

environmental engineering is still pretty competitive actually

[blissful zealot]

[heady cobalt]

I set my raspberry pi on fire

[pliant aspen]

u said it not me

[blissful zealot]

;(

[jade quiver]

could've gave it to me

[heady cobalt]

oh god

[heady cobalt]

what would u do bro

revive it?

r u a tech whisperer?

[jade quiver]

what did you do to set your raspberry pi on fire bruh

were you trying to run gta 6 or something

[heady cobalt]

I’m such a pro coder

it couldn’t take my code

it killed itself

[wicked isle]

Did u get into ucsb

[heady cobalt]

I didn’t apply 😭

[jade quiver]

bros code had a million threads running or something

[heady cobalt]

I applied to all ucs except river merced and sb

[soft cargo]

u realize eecs is the more prestigious one right

ba cs is fucked over now

the ba cs kids cant even get into the classes they need to

and eecs name has more brand rep in silicon valley

[jade quiver]

yes

[heady cobalt]

I was building a iot agriculture sensor for my plant

and something went wrong

[jade quiver]

im talking about before how they used eecs for direct admission into major

[soft cargo]

both are direct admission now

[wheat field]

pro strat is to get the statewide guarantee and apply every UC with horrible essays except UCB and UCLA so ur autoadmit there

[soft cargo]

ba cs and bs eecs

[jade quiver]

ik

[soft cargo]

im confused

what ur tryna say

[hushed terrace]

what

[heady cobalt]

eecs is not direct admission

u can transfer within department

right??

[jade quiver]

no lol they'll just put you in merced

merced will accept anyone

[wheat field]

not if u really mess up the essays

[brittle rose]

? that's impossible

[heady cobalt]

uhm ik someone waitlisted and he had a 100% in ap calc ab

[wheat field]

it would be funny if that strat actually worked

[heady cobalt]

i think something went wrong w his essays

[jade quiver]

how are you going to apply to every uc except berk/la with horrible essays, its literally one application

[jade quiver]

yield protection fr

[heady cobalt]

do the ucs talk to each other

[brittle rose]

https://tenor.com/view/brain-gif-338783462287106063

[wheat field]

wdym

[jade quiver]

on paper no

[hushed terrace]

they claim they don’t but some ppl say otherwise…

[heady cobalt]

like does ucb admission department talk to ucla admission department

[wheat field]

u choose all campuses except UCB and UCLA

[heady cobalt]

like if so

can uc berk pity me and accept me

[hushed terrace]

exactly 😭

[heady cobalt]

they def do

[jade quiver]

i mean most likely not but in some cases an ao could assume you probably applied to berkeley especially ifyou're doing cs lol

[wheat field]

get rejected from all campuses --> accepted into UCB or UCLA with statewide guarantee 😎

[shell lark]

real

[hushed terrace]

either that or they know what type of student each campus likes

[heady cobalt]

guys uc Berkeley is gatekeeping me from the other ucs

[jade quiver]

uc berkeley needs to take pity on my school lol

[heady cobalt]

they signed a agreement and all

[jade quiver]

idk why this year we have more stem nerds in my class

like all the other years was filled with humanities

but this year just happens to have more stem kids

[brittle rose]

did anyone write horrible piqs (in their perspectives) and still somehow got in? I just wanna know if I'm not the only one here 😭

[jade quiver]

for which schools

imo my piqs were pretty trash lol

[brittle rose]

not uc berkeley or la obv

[hushed terrace]

well my piqs were good in like 5 ppls eyes (2 college students, 1 college grad, 2 counselors) and i’ve only gotten into davis, santa cruz, and riverside 💀

[wheat field]

my piqs were good in other ppl eyes and ive gotten into no UCs 💀

[brittle rose]

that's p good

I wrote mines in the last few days so there's no one to get feedback for it

I deadass ran out of ideas for 1 of my piq and just wrote a devlog for a game I was making

[heady cobalt]

whens the first waitlist wave?

[jade quiver]

idk i had like 1-2 people review my piqs and got in 4 ucs

[jade quiver]

for what

[heady cobalt]

ucsd

[jade quiver]

i wrote mine in a week

[jade quiver]

probably early may

[hushed terrace]

i started writing my piqs in late july so uh if berk doesn’t take me im gonna be so sad 😭

[soft cargo]

oh yea u can transfer into eecs from other engineering majors

i didnt know it was actually that easy

[wheat field]

early may for pretty much all ucs

[soft cargo]

but if ur in like mech e u can def transfer into eecs

[wheat field]

sometimes if ur lucky they do it earlier but thats for a select few

[heady cobalt]

omg i dont whree im going till may

[soft cargo]

im not sure how hard it is to but ive heard it's very possible

[heady cobalt]

oh hmm

[agile wedge]

Late July is crazy

I wrote mine mid November

[heady cobalt]

some current ucb student told me she got in undeclared engineering and switched into eecs easily

[hushed terrace]

what is even more crazy is i had my piq topics p much finalized summer after sophomore year 💀

[wheat field]

damn bro

[agile wedge]

Bro put in 10x my effort

[jade quiver]

sometimes i wish i had a passion other than programming

[wheat field]

bro put in 100x my effort

[hushed terrace]

it’s not paying off tho 🤣🤣

[jade quiver]

like why couldn't i have a passion in chemical engineering or something

[agile wedge]

yeah no more like 100x yeah

[heady cobalt]

why did ucsd not want me bro 😭

i paid for parking and everything

[wheat field]

im surprised about my ucsd decision the most out of all ucs

[agile wedge]

Sometimes you can plan and plan and it won’t work but you can do something then and there and it does work

[jade quiver]

2nd most applied to uc so its basically a lottery lol

[agile wedge]

And that’s just how it is

[heady cobalt]

waitlist is crazy

[brittle rose]

I thought la & berk are 1st and 2nd

[hushed terrace]

true true

[heady cobalt]

i trusted ucsd

[wheat field]

having cosmos at ucsd and not even a waitlist

[jade quiver]

no berk is around 3rd

sd and la are more applied to than berkeley

[brittle rose]

more people applying to uc socially dead?

[heady cobalt]

damnn ive seen so many cosmos students not doing well this app season

[brittle rose]

that's crazy

[agile wedge]

Like tbh I cooked my UChicago and common app essays for weeks and weeks

But wrote my PIQs for like 5 days over 2 weeks

Yet the PIQs have carried more

and that’s just how it be

[wheat field]

mf uc cosmos was 7% acceptance rate but i couldnt get into the actual ucsd

[heady cobalt]

LMFAOOO

[jade quiver]

actually irvine had more apps than berkeley

lol

wtf

[heady cobalt]

irvine rejected me 😭

[jade quiver]

same

[heady cobalt]

i am not sweeping the ucs

[hushed terrace]

damnnn giving me false hope in some of my ivy essays that i started and submitted in the same day

[wheat field]

them admission officers just gave me a preview and left 💀

[heady cobalt]

after the ucd and uci double rejection, ive accepted my fate

[wheat field]

for UCs though from what ive heard, but for privates theyre all doing pretty well (hopefully thats me)

[agile wedge]

I wrote my JHU essay the day of
If you see a begging4ham / jhu ’28 after 3pm est tomorrow then believe bro (it ain’t happening)

[jade quiver]

somehow waitlisted from uc davis even though I live like less than an hour away

[heady cobalt]

yess thiss

[hushed terrace]

LMAO GOOD LUCK

[wheat field]

i got deferred from NU which is like the rarest out of the 3, at like 1-2% deferral rate

so im hoping

[agile wedge]

I’m so scared fr fr because I open it with my counselor on a field trip

If I actually get that shit idk what I’d do

[heady cobalt]

waitlist at la and sd and only god will know what happens w uc berkeley 😭

[hushed terrace]

ahhhh

[agile wedge]

Anyways I need to go to bed cause I must wake up tomorrow to see Clark Atlanta

[jade quiver]

Berkeley always seems to be different than everyone lol so you have a chance

[agile wedge]

peace

[heady cobalt]

plss im quirky too

[agile wedge]

nah

[heady cobalt]

what do you know?!?!?

[hushed terrace]

i put the word “advocate” in one of my piqs specifically for berk 🙈🙈🙈

[heady cobalt]

go to bed lil bro

[brittle rose]

I didn't use enough liberal terminalogy in my piq

its over for berk

[jade quiver]

same

should've told them i was homeless too

and vegan

[tough lark]

shoulda told them I cured Cancer

[wheat field]

they beefing with all the cosmos kids this year

[hushed terrace]

they know what truly goes on at cosmos

[wheat field]

allat for nothing 😔

ima be that one person who makes an appeal letter for berk

[hushed terrace]

nah if i don’t get in im appealing too

[wheat field]

either that or im due for a win for privates

i pulled such a risky ass stunt applying to no safeties

[hushed terrace]

oh damn have you gotten in anywhere yet

[wheat field]

i have

[soft cargo]

i mean engineering undeclared is just as hard as eecs

so she prolly wouldve gotten into eecs anyways

[heady cobalt]

damn that ruined my dinner

[soft cargo]

i think engineering undeclared acceptance rate last yr was 2.8%?

[heady cobalt]

yeahh true

no she got in like 2021 or so

[wheat field]

truly a cruel time to be an engineering major

[soft cargo]

lol

when i found out

i was so happy that i applied eecs instead of undeclared

[heady cobalt]

guys I just wanna make the world a better place one line of code at a time

[heady cobalt]

damn where were u when i applied😭

[soft cargo]

making those buttons at amazon is helping so much

[heady cobalt]

now it’s ova

[soft cargo]

i was applying too bro 😭

[jade quiver]

Lockheed Martin is calling your name

[heady cobalt]

bro I just want to make AI models

[heady cobalt]

too bad I already answered OpenAI’s

[wheat field]

engineering ethics when lockheed martin walks into the room

[soft cargo]

if i get an internship offer there next summer im taking it 🙏

[heady cobalt]

dude I saw this girl on LinkedIn and her bio is about making the world a better place and she works at Lockheed Martin 💀

[wheat field]

im taking it too bruh 💀

[heady cobalt]

wow just wow

is this who we r?

[soft cargo]

yes

[jade quiver]

Bag is a bag

[heady cobalt]

jk cs jobs rn r alr so competitive

[jade quiver]

Because everyone wants to become a swe

[heady cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/alucore-gif-21193899

this is all of u

[jade quiver]

People think of you don’t work in faang then you’re cooked

[heady cobalt]

in 5 yrs

[wheat field]

i love yet hate the rhetoric about being a cs major rn

[jade quiver]

In 5 years I’m gonna be homeless

[wheat field]

killing the competition fr

[heady cobalt]

that’s what Lockheed Martin gonna do to u

[jade quiver]

Fr

[heady cobalt]

damn ok negative nancy

[jade quiver]

Even minimum wage jobs are being competitive now

[heady cobalt]

im not like other cs majors(pls accept me)

[jade quiver]

Walmart rejected my application 😔

[heady cobalt]

this is y connections matter

[hushed terrace]

the words of every cs major

[jade quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/clone-clones-buzz-lightyear-toy-story-gif-21609842

[wheat field]

we homeless bound ong

[jade quiver]

Starbucks ‘28

[heady cobalt]

throughout heaven and earth, we are the strongest impacted major and profession

[jade quiver]

Are you homeless because you’re a cs major or are you a cs major because you’re homeless

[acoustic ibex]

throughout the heavens and the earth, double major alone is the honored one

[jade quiver]

Throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the jobless one

[heady cobalt]

Hey can you stop ruining my joke

Thanks!

[jade quiver]

Nah

[last vigil]

Mfw liveable wage makes competition worse

[acoustic ibex]

throughout the heavens and the earth, ana alone is the jokeless one

[heady cobalt]

Bros manifesting homelessness for all of us

u are bad energy

im thinking of buying those luck rocks bc of u

[acoustic ibex]

luck rocks is crazy

[wheat field]

i gotta make a UCB shrine real quick

[heady cobalt]

bruh

[acoustic ibex]

could this be considered extortion

[jade quiver]

My friend had me participate in a crystal ritual because she wanted Taylor swift concert tickets

[heady cobalt]

at least the money is up

[last vigil]

💀 ☠️ 💀

[heady cobalt]

ty bro

[hushed terrace]

LMFAOOO

[last vigil]

Huh

[acoustic ibex]

oh NAH

[last vigil]

Bro what

[heady cobalt]

bro my friend and I made one at 3 am for gojo

[jade quiver]

Why

[heady cobalt]

bc of what happened in the manga that I can’t say

bc it’ll spoil it

[jade quiver]

Everyone knows at the point

[heady cobalt]

no

[wheat field]

if UCB rejects me that just means their acceptance couldnt get past my infinity fr

[heady cobalt]

LMFAOO

gege would have wanted this

too bad he left us so soon

[acoustic ibex]

of all the characters you had to choose the one ||split in half||

[heady cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/roblox-angry-foxmel-pizza-gif-23786792

[wheat field]

nuh uh! ||im still coping||

[jade quiver]

Cs majors turn on their infinity (odor) in the presence of women

[acoustic ibex]

🤫

[heady cobalt]

u need to stop slandering cs majors

[jade quiver]

I’m a potential cs major so I have all right to do so

Also my cousin is one

[heady cobalt]

atp imma js say im a cognitive science major(cs)

[royal steppe]

💀 💀 💀

[acoustic ibex]

probably more likely to get a job

[jade quiver]

Real

[valid crater]

im a cs major (communication studies)

[fair heron]

Waitlisted UCI, rejected UCLA and UCSB, accepted UCD and UCSD am I cooked 💀

[jade quiver]

nowhere near cooked

[brittle rose]

one acceptance is that all matters, you bagged ucsd

[nova bridge]

HI GUYS I HAVE A QUESTION

so im thinking of doing appeals

is any of this stuff worth mentioning

[misty bough]

Is UCI on par with UCSD?

[brittle rose]

depends on major, engineering no

[misty bough]

cs?

[brittle rose]

idts

[nova bridge]

i mentioned an adhd diagnosis already but
i was also diagnosed with autism in 10th grade
and i had to switch anxiety/depression medication a lot to find something that worked so i was sick a lot because of the withdrawal symptoms and side effects
i also did not mention i had anxiety and depression

[misty bough]

Why not?

[nova bridge]

the autism thing i struggled to come to terms with

[nova bridge]

not big enough to be a difference

theyre relatively close

[brittle rose]

worth a shot

[nova bridge]

should i mention all three things?

10th grade i had slightly lower grades so idk

[brittle rose]

yea, it's not something you've mentioned before in your apps

[nova bridge]

alright

👍

does anyone have a list of which ucs take appeals

[brittle rose]

I think all of them?

only if you're rejected though

[fair heron]

Is it worth attempting to appeal LA & SB?

[nova bridge]

good news 🤩

[austere crescent]

if they’re both schools that mean a lot to you, its worth a shot

[wicked isle]

STFU U GOT INTO MY DREAM SCHOOL UCSD STFU STFU STFU STFU

U greedy bum why u asking am I cooked stfu

[wheat field]

UCSD cs is a lot better

[misty bough]

I really perfer the oc area over san diego tho

is it that much better that I should go to UCSD

[wheat field]

more connections n easier to get jobs at UCSD

a lot of good places like viasat taking interns from UCSD

also its just generally more reputable

tho dont get me wrong, both are good schools for cs

its obviously not gonna be difference of getting a job at FAANG or not if u go to one over the other

tho there is a qualcomm right at UCSD soo

[misty bough]

idk i have a friend in Aero at ucsd and he said that for employers it doesnt really matter

uci is near alot of biotech startups, and im interested in that

for me its kind of im not sure

[brittle rose]

rankings doesn't really matter in this case, cs is solid at both so I'd rather be happy the next 4 years rather than be stuck in uc socially dead

like rn I'm seriously considering ucsb over ucsd engineering

[jade quiver]

ucsd really doesn't look that bad imo, i personally think the dorms are really nice

[misty bough]

the dorms at uci are so nice too

[wheat field]

uc socially dead is becoming slightly outdated ngl, from what im hearing its something like ucsd (under construction seven days a week)

[brittle rose]

yea it also depends on which college you got assigned, imagine getting erc 😭 (as stem)

[heady cobalt]

r u thinking of going to ucsd like do yk how hard it is to get into the major as undeclared?

[wheat field]

ngl its only worth going to ucsd if u get into like sixth college or eighth

[heady cobalt]

bc my friend is in the same dillema 😭

[wheat field]

seventh if u like sushi

[misty bough]

i got into eigth college, mathematical biology

but at uci bme

[wheat field]

in terms of quality of life obv

[jade quiver]

no lol

[misty bough]

and switching to cs at uci seems much easier

[jade quiver]

im not

[heady cobalt]

ohh wats ur options

[jade quiver]

im just saying the dorms look nice

[jade quiver]

im waiting to find out 💀

[heady cobalt]

but like realistically

is it that hard to switch into cs?

[wheat field]

the dorms at UCSD either look like a hilton hotel or a random ass title 1 school in compton

[jade quiver]

I already have ucr, ucsc, sjsu

cs really doesn't matter

[misty bough]

ive heard its very hard

[wheat field]

i believe its impossible to switch into cs actually cause of some new policy

[heady cobalt]

oh thats a solid list bro

[wheat field]

i remember hearing about it

[heady cobalt]

oh god

ihope ig et in cs and not undeclare

[misty bough]

thats another reason im leaning towards uci

[wheat field]

so people opt into similar majors being EE

[jade quiver]

but i'm going to do more research on math-cs at ucsd, most likely I'm not going to attend but we'll just see

[misty bough]

i also got into ucsb as EE but i do not want to go there

[wheat field]

the professors r pretty cool

[brittle rose]

you're cs right? so ee is not your thing?

[wheat field]

if u get into sixth/eighth/seventh college u have an oceanside view

[misty bough]

i applied to everywhere as bme/bioengineering

[wheat field]

if u got a good dorm placement

[misty bough]

ucsb doesnt have bme so i applied as EE

[wheat field]

poke is hella good

dont eat at canyon vista

[misty bough]

leaning towards cs+bio/med devices

[wheat field]

oh yeah

if u hate walking for convenience sake uci is better

ucsd campus is hella huge

and their engineering school is on the other side of campus

but if u live in warren the dorms are horrible

• the food

[brittle rose]

it's fine it'll serve as exercise for the cs peeps

[wheat field]

nah those cs peeps code their own mf segway sometimes just to avoid walking

i know a guy who did exactly that

hes cool tho

[brittle rose]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE-XkAs1qXs

💀

oh you're talking about segway

[wheat field]

when i was there at warren bro they did not fix the showers the entire time and we suffered cold showers (i guess thats why cs majors dont shower there)

[heady cobalt]

😭

wait Warren is the cs college?

[wheat field]

yes since its the closest to jacobs school of engineering

stem related GEs

[heady cobalt]

bruh I put that last

Reddit let me down

[wheat field]

but id rather just go to sixth and take a 15 minute walk to there

warren sucks

the food sucks

[heady cobalt]

oh

ty Reddit

[jade quiver]

Aint no way someone wrote their piqs on Valorant and got ucsd, ucsb, and ucd

[brittle rose]

7th the worst location wise, right

[heady cobalt]

u saw that too??

[jade quiver]

Yeah

[wheat field]

yeah but its still a decent place (mainly cause of their food)

[heady cobalt]

there’s 2

[wheat field]

its the farthest college from the center of campus

[heady cobalt]

ones actually popular

[wheat field]

but hey, sushi

many UCSD students agree that sixth is the best college lol

tho we're gonna see if that changes with eighth

[subtle acorn]

sixth is just the best overall

eighth is far from central campus

[wheat field]

atleast their buildings are nice tho

i miss the on campus target

engineering majors at UCSD are either the most socially dead or insane frat ppl

[subtle acorn]

omg i saw that tiktok too

[wheat field]

no in between

their labs at UCSD are nice tho

and their makerspace

but freak you UCSD for rejecting me

if UCSD accepted letters of rec i woulda used the one that the literal cs professor there made me

i genuinely might make an appeal

[subtle acorn]

i'd say go for it

u sound like u rlly love ucsd :')

[wheat field]

i was pretty surprised about the rejection despite having ucsd cosmos compared to any other uc rejection/waitlist

its kinda a love hate relationship with ucsd but i only know so much about it cause of cosmos

[subtle acorn]

damn

how were ur piqs??

[wheat field]

lowkey my piqs did not tailor to their stereotype (especially as a cs major 💀)

so possibly cause of that

[subtle acorn]

i feel like having cosmos should've been a huge boost 😭

[subtle acorn]

oh...

[humble nova]

Mini rant but lowkey rejections hurt a lot more than acceptances feel good. Why am I still feeling miserable :(

[wheat field]

UCSD was my dream school in like 10-11th grade but damn its mindboggling that cosmos basically did nothing for me

[twilit escarp]

ikr

but like u got into ucla u have so much to look forward for

[wheat field]

many cosmos students are in the same boat though for some reason, compared to other years where they easily get into places like UCLA

[humble nova]

You’re like happy for 4 days and then it’s like 😀

[twilit escarp]

in the end the rejections don't matter

[humble nova]

There’s too much other stuff going on 😭 might have to defer a quarter maybe idk

[humble nova]

True

[twilit escarp]

oh damn

[white birch]

the audacity to complain about acceptances not feeling as good

no offense

[humble nova]

No one is complaining about that

[white birch]

Oh I read it wrong

[humble nova]

All I said is rejections hurt a lot more than acceptances feel good

[jade quiver]

true

[humble nova]

Which in my opinion is true but you can disagree

[twilit escarp]

i didnt get into any schools where i was like "LETS FUCKING GOOOO HOLY SHIT OMGOGMOGMGSASODJLKWASD 😩"

[white birch]

that’s epic idk why i read it that way

[jade quiver]

i just have a fear of failing and having all my work go to waste because i get rejected from every "top" school

[humble nova]

It comes down to the idea that what you imagined is always better than reality

[slim aurora]

I don’t think anyone reacts like that unless you are actively recording for an eventual YouTube video

[twilit escarp]

and then at a staff development weekend for a boy scouts program i sat in my tent depressed for 4 hours instead of socializing at night because i was super sad about Davis and Irvine

[wheat field]

im in that boat rn with all these rejections smh

i lost all muh target schools and now its just reaches left

[humble nova]

Very common feeling to have and you’ll come to the realization that hard work always pays off in some form yk?

[twilit escarp]

i was exaggerating

[humble nova]

I’m sorry 🫂

[slim aurora]

fair enough

[jade quiver]

maybe, sort of wished I applied to more schools though because at the time i didn't think i was good enough

[twilit escarp]

but i wasnt like super excited or anything i was just like

yay back to the 3 assignments i didnt finish

[jade quiver]

after watching all those internet videos lol

[humble nova]

Just depressed with life rn and college decisions aren’t making it as much better as I hoped

[humble nova]

Hey at least now you know for next time

[jade quiver]

yeah 2024 lowkey has been pretty terrible for me

[slim aurora]

I just await 29th March, the day when all decisions are over and I can finally live stress free

[jade quiver]

I got into some schools I hoped to but not the majors

which really sucks

and also I constantly compare myself to my peers lol

[humble nova]

Lowkey tied my happiness to decisions which was not a good thing

Bc it fades so quickly

[humble nova]

I’m sorry 🫂

[jade quiver]

especially since this one girl got into caltech and ucla at my school, makes me feel like being valedictorian doesn't mean shi

[jade quiver]

yeah its a toxic process

colleges feed on it too

[humble nova]

They def do

[humble nova]

🫂 it all pays off in some point in life I promise

[twilit escarp]

this process is not mentally good for anyone

[humble nova]

It’s tough for sure

I’m so incredibly grateful for everything but at the same time I want to smash the system for doing this

[twilit escarp]

u can get into an amazing school but still be depressed because of the high standards this process puts on everyone

its so fucked

[jade quiver]

the whole prestige stuff is also extremely toxic

[wheat field]

my schools actually toxic as hell rn bro esp after ucla decisions

[twilit escarp]

my friend left this server a couple days ago bc he was just mentally done
he got into a T30 but this system just shot his standards through the roof

[wheat field]

some people at my school are genuinely trying to find dirt on ucla admits to get off the waitlist

[tough lark]

Being valedictorian doesn't mean shit, it's the work you put into, the shit you learned, and the friends you made along the way that mean shit

[jade quiver]

yeah i never said it was solely that

i did put in a lot of work outside of academics too

[tough lark]

I'm sure that you are proud of whatever you did

And that's really all that matters

[jade quiver]

its more of the fact that I could've put in half the work to get the same results lol

[tough lark]

Well

You'll never know

And if that's the mindset your working with it's not gonna be easy to succeed in the future

stay awesome and stay positive

[queen stirrup]

hi okay im really panicked i got waitlisted from ucsd and i applied cs w bio / ce and im in state ( i literally live in sd) is there like any chance ill be able to get in

idk i got rejected from ucsb today and i kinda broke

[tough lark]

any chance yes

real chance

probability speaking wise

no not really

[queen stirrup]

oh 😀

[wheat field]

waitlist from any UC besides ucla is pretty tough

which is weird

[tough lark]

UCSD received the MOST first year apps this year (150000), above LA (146000) and Berkeley (140000)

[queen stirrup]

im done for lmfao

[wheat field]

no UC acceptances gang

[tough lark]

Speaking objectively, I wouldn't count on it

[tough lark]

join the real ones frfr

[jade quiver]

la had 173k

[queen stirrup]

it felt like an accomplishment idk now its just idk

[tough lark]

that's with transfers
