Do you know any biochem majors
omg can you pls send it to me too
Don’t stress on numbers too much guys and just focus on mental health and waiting and everything will eventually work out even if the school is different
can you send me too🙏
yea i got u
not at ucla
thanks sm bestie
Oh 😭 how do you rec finding some because idk anyone at ucla
np
hmmm
some majors have events specifically for their major/field
that happen year-round
i don't think you'll have a tough time finding ppl
ucla is very social
No no I just meant ahead of time
Because I wanted to talk to some before I go
i went in knowing nobody
yea unfortunately idk
I think my friend’s sister goes I’ll ask her 😭
i'm a ucla 28 admit for cs, is there an admit discord?
if u rly wanna know abt the major itself i rec trying to find juniors/seniors
cuz they're doing upper divs
the lower divs are more or less gonna be the same for all bio majors
Yeah she’s a junior iirc so should work
alright W
hi, how is ucla pre med like?
like in terms of scoring internships/shadowing, faculty support, and difficulty of maintaining good gpa
and are there time frames allocated for mcat studying
bro they shove premed opportunities in my face
and im a cs major
premed is everywhere at this school
guys any idea when berkley will come out
gpa is pretty tough tho ngl cuz there is no inflation like some of the privates
28th i believe
rip
go for it ig... but if your parents cant/stop being able to pay halfway through youre still on the hook
Does ucla send any admitted student packages or packets
Slay
ooh this i would fuck up some ucla socks
Dripped out
jesus
Oh I’m not rich, i just wanted your opinion
Pitzer it is if they give me financial aid then UCSD if not, unless I get accepted to UCSB or cal
I’m just gonna look for some rich rapper and ask him to pay my college tuition
lil oozie
^^^
Everyone
What about bio acceptance rate?
bio doesn't have an acceptance rate cuz it's in the college of l&s
they don't admit by major
yea
Ah gotcha
imo yes
they start u with c++ programming for the lower div intro courses
which is nice
What’s the point of getting into good school if I can’t afford it 😭
makes learning every other language ezpz
validation
should i then do like systems
rather than focus in on AI/ML
in college
UCLA isn’t good enough to give me validation tho 😭😭
idk what I should specialize in CS anymore
i'm really lost 😞
like what will make me employed
depends on what career u wanna pursue
ai/ml will only be employable if u get a masters in it
preferably phd
u can also do cybersec
swe of course
swe
is dead
DEVIN IS COMING
in 4 years
its too late to start swe now i think
unless i was a junior in CS by now
yeah prolly would have to pivot to that
@grizzled flax can u teach me cs
does that entail web3
wb prompt engineering
Wow, I thought we were chill
we are chill bro
i've had close irl friends ask me the same
i just genuinely am too busy
unsure
🥲
Should I major in ECE or CS
I’m still undecided
🤔
im on the same boat bruh
💀
idk
just do ece and then switch into cs if u dont like the hardware aspect
Ik ECE is more hardware
i wanna do what gets me a job
its harder to switch to CS tho
its easier to do ECE
so if I do ECE first
Hmm, Ik ECE is harder than CS but more job opportunities
how
wb AI and the whole thing with CS
if you're already in the engineering school then it's easy to switch ur major to another major within the engineering college
No, ECE —> CS is easier than CS —> ECE
no
where
Ye
like switching major
what school
Princeton
oh
yea at ucla it's either way
Bruh moment
2.0 gpa only
ucla is like so easy
Oh deadass
ye
u can do whatever the hella u want at ucla
im taling like UIUC
*talking
u cant even switch to CS
once ur in ECE
at least not direct
Ye at pton ECE —> CS is easier since you need to take most CS courses for ECE, but not ECE for cs
i can still do like CS + math
but they're different course reqs
ECE has its own complete reqs
and the CS classes don't fufill those
not at uiuc lol
i was thinking of majoring in computational math but i need to take proof based math courses so idk
Cooked
computational math but need to take proof based courses hm weird
but in ECE can u do everything that CS ppl do
I have til April of my freshman year to decide
True..but it’s also harder
That I’m aware of
ece is considerably harder
^
Bruh like around there
fr
i aint wanna struggle like that
but at the same time
id get a rlly good job then
im aiming for a 3.5
@paper vine yo i forgot to ask did u get in
Guys should I choose UCLA or Georgia Tech for Mech/Comp Engg?
I’m aiming for 3.0 😭🙏
gatech
GT better
if you're in state for ucla tho then ucla
Truth
ive heard ppl say that the differnce in ranking is bogus at this point and UCLA would have a better college experience. (GT is ranked higher for engineering)
btw im itnernational
yea the rankingg doesn't rly matter after a certain point
however
our comp eng major is somewhat new
not to say that it's bad but gatech def has a more experienced comp eng dept
what about elec engg?
ee would be ok here i think
Ngl, if I’m cooked at pton, I might transfer to UCB after a year, is that the Strat or nah
whats pton?
Community college
^
👍
ud suggest me to go with ga tech?
tech is better i think
yea imo
GT better for engineering
got it
my friend is graduating from gatech rn with a base 140k offer
yea
Bro have your friend hit me up with a referral in 3 years
he'll refer me and then i'll refer u
yeeah
LMAO
W strat
If I get in first I’ll refer you
My sis has hella cs friends
bet W
😈
seriously hoping for GT but i seriously doubt it
You got it
my friend got in for some random ass major and then switched
for me, as a prospective Mech/Elec Engg student, i feel the market favours CS ppl more in terms of higher paying jobs
Blessed
definitely but i think engineering majors have better job security
i've heard CS is extremely saturated atm
i think so is mech/elec/comp engineering
This shit is such a weight off my shoulders
W
damn did you commit?
Second I got it haha
for oos?
Berkeley is more😭
W, congrats!
damn
Thanks
yeah
congrats
it's cuz the UCs were initially built to serve cali residents
i thought berkeley was approximately 75k per year
but then they started expanding
cost of attendance
i pay 0
werent u gonna wait for berkley results?
crazyyy
I hate cal so no
Congrats!! Bro committed right away lol
Oh i was talking about instate
Blessed, wth
hmm
😂
nah fr low income gang
Why’d bro laughing
if by miracle i get berkeley im sure as hell taking it
Same (they’re paying me to go to college)
did u do qb?
Ye, bounded
W
Always been a Stanford fan cause I live right by Stanford
i wish i knew abt qb when i was applying
Did you do qb?
fair
nah i didn't know abt it
Nah, I lowkey regretting it
i didn't even know what ed/ea/rd was
how come?
Isn’t qb all upside?
I’m sad about leaving, lowkey wanted to stay instate
Ye
What state are you in
Not sad about going, just sad about leaving lmao
Cali
Hopefully!
imo business isn't a good major unless you're attending a target school
like upenn, harvard, stanford, etc.
yea
Only nerds get into ucla tho
our alumni network is weak ngl
Prolly cause it’s public school
uhhh
USC prolly better alumni
prob relatively the same
yea usc def has better alumni
perhaps
i got rejected 💀
It’s okay
well admissions can be random sometimes
Nah, UCLA just have more applicants
Doesn’t mean it’ll be more competitive applicants
I didn’t get into Irvine Davis or San Diego it doesn’t always make sense
Truth too
see i've been telling everybody
not to worry
LA lowkey clicked the wrong button for me
Bruh my college did the same
I am not good enough for ucla lmao
I should have been rejected
Imposter syndrome fr
Except I’m actually an imposter
all the intl students here are crazy cracked
Nah I’m the imposter
they're all rich too
drippy
the intl students in my classes all wear like
balenciaga
moncler
etc
damn
how much is gatech vs ucla for u
georgia tech
got carnegie mellon today so prob headed there then
damn nice
ecstatic about that rn
i have a friend who chose hmc over cmu cs
what are ur guys thoughts on that
cuz idk which is better ngl
yeah ECE
id say if u like the small school vibe harvey mudd is fs better
but cmu is also crazy
Nah that LAC cracked
Caltech
i saw that hmc has the highest salary for cs majors
but idk if the source was accurate
cuz it had some questionable rankings
Perchance
Me irl
yo Herman (sorry this sounds awkward but whatever)
how easy is it
to take grad courses
as an undergrad
if you're graduating early there's no reason for them to not let u
ik a few ppl doing that
do u think i could immediately start w/ grad classes freshman year
no
u demonstrate it by
being on track to graduate considerably early and
having a high gpa and stacking units
and then u petition to take grad classes
and they'll review ur profile
and they base their decision off that
is it possible to skip classes just by self studying
and then petitioning
or taking some sort of test
or is that just a no-go
no
bruh wth
they don't even accept ap credit for ges
no idc abt that
yea ik but
if they don't accept a perfect score on an exam like that for ges
i doubt they'll
let u do what u just said
yea
but i frickin know the material 😭
yeah ive taken some classes at a LAC
but ive studied a lot more on my own
transfer them then
i will but technically i still need to take certain classes
to be able to take the grad classes i want
but i know the material (or i think i will know by fall) to be able to take it
rn im in complex analysis and abstract algebra
and i took diff geo & real analysis last tsem
fr
geekin
why dont u just stack math classes then
yea if u stack classes
and take classes during the summer
and do classes at cc too
it depends how cracked u are
i will but i immediately wanna go to grad classes and i dont wanna spend more time redoing the stuff
its so boring
wdym stack just take 8 classes in a semester?
maybe during the summer it might
yea
thats still boring tho i dont wanna redo it all 💀
lmao
idk but i know some cracked guy stacking math and physics and he has time to go to the gym and run and hang out with friends and keep straight As
idk how he does it
same
sigma male
what can i say
it rly just depends on if you're cracked
anything is possible
that's cuz those movies are ppl majoring in communications
oh you'll be chilling
the business major here is ez
short too
u can grad early easily
uh
it'll be harder yea
but business by itself
you'll be ok
if you take 6 classes per semester do u normally grad early
all the frat dudes are business majors here so
u can only take 19 units ur first qtr which is about 4 classes
second quarter if u have over a 3.0 (or 3.5 i forgot) u can take 21 units which is about 5
u can petition to take more than 5 and they'll approve it if they see ur performance is good
is the grading for classes mostly exams
they are LMAO
like 30% midterm 40% final 30% psets
wtf pube mushroom hair bruh what r u talkin abt
wtf?? 11 weeks of school in a quarter?? 44 weeks a school year?
💀
Whoever got rejected
3 quarters
then there is summer
3 qtr not including summer
Do not worry
so 33 weeks ish
i just see them hang out with other chinese students
uhm
no🚫👎 its
a quarter 🤔😤
Bruh there’s only 12 weeks of school per semester at pton
So 24 weeks of school
wtf
that's goated
It’s 15 weeks term but only 12 weeks of scheduled classes
I’m blessed
princeton is hard though
yea true
Ermm actually
💀
LMAOO
to add on to that
they always wear essentials hoodies and
yeezy slides
or somtimes flannel shirts
asian babyboy is crazy
mostly chinese immigrants use ABC
the athletes here tower over me
Any way to get scholarships for ucla? I missed the previous ones
idk abt politics ngl
wtf is "pull a ron desantis" supposed to mean
Apparently my friend’s portal changed
im literally mitch mcconnell and idfk wtf that means
Republican speaker is that you?
ur old and unfit for ur position

Psh
Idk I will update you
Nah let grandpa rule over us
No
i love when the senate minority leader FREEZES during a speech
Will @ you when she replies
nah
Reminder no politics discussion! 🫶
oh mb
mb wont happen again
Rip
Not even if you're a poli sci major?

🤖 politics 🤖
OHH
Nope
Damn
Ok so
Apparently my friend got in??? But her portal said waitlisted earlier
@wanton cape
Since you were wondering
Ong
Shit they better not change mine..
FR SHES FREAKING OUT
How does someone’s decision change what
lol don’t even worry
imagine they start turning ppls acceptances into rejections lmfao
Maybe mistake or they alr took her off wl?
😭
Wdym
idk if it was uci but some uc a couple years ago got overenrolled
and they rescinded a bunch of
I got accepted to ucla and same friend got waitlisted
acceptances

Most my friends got into ucla
Though
I doubt they wanna go lmao

ik bro it sounds illegal
NO BC IMAGINE SOMEONE GETTING INTO THEIR DREAM SXHOOL JUST TO BE RESCINDED BC THEY OVERACCEPTED
yea fuck that 😭
majority are nice
just avoid the frat dudes
i think ppl don't sit next to me on purpose cuz im brown
but it's ok
yea i think they just assume brown = cs = smelly
it's some asian guy right
Huh
i saw it too
i would be so mad
yea nobody sits next to the brown ppl

💀
Real asf
Me too
yea i saw that one
i mean like yea he's right
Thoughts on honors college?
that applies for most elite unis
ucla has different priorities tho
so the student body here is majority great
i have no info on it
Are people actually racist…I’m brown too
not openly
i think this mainly applies for the guys tho
but this is all anecdotal speculation
so
take my word with a grain of salt
😭
bruh 😭 ucla is racist?
: (
not good
yea internationals typically hang out with other internationals from their country
from what i've noticed
lmao yea noticed that too
Oh fun
what are your personal/global values and purpose in life?
Yikes brown people hate 😭
Also confirmed guys my friend either got off wl or they made a mistake
waitlist speedrun
congrats to them
that better be an off wl acceptance
She didn’t even submit abything
I have no idea
praying for them 🙏
world's fastest waitlist acceptance
She’s sooooo happy
does UCLA give decent aid to OOS?
dont think so lmao
5 of my friends got into ucla
ucs are quite notorious for being crazy expensive for oos
well really all schools are
alright thanks
all public schools are expensive yh
ucs another level oos
but like privates atleast give aid
2 of mine did so far!
75k
ohh nvm
yeahh
its bad
cuz I did a google search it said 45k
but when I checked
their website
it says 75k
Oos
yhh
In state
im literally all alone idk one person that got in
thx
Neither of the two go to my school 😭 if we are talking all irls ik 5
So wl people double check your portals! My friend alr got off wl and did not get an email
deneve got real creative with that one
Pretty patties 💀
😭
idk if i should accept the offer after that
those buns look stiff
guys what do i put for my logon ID
should i just do my initials w/ my last name
or something geeky
external yea
i was lucky enough to be able to use just my full name
aight ill just do that then
yo thats so lit wth
i should make mine [email protected]
would be awesome if i do say so myself 😏
no
wtf
ghosted by employer speedrun
LOL
How is this possible
??
already? damn
for the waitlist class form do we really have to list AP classes as "[class] AP"
Didn't they say they d look at waitlisted applicants after may 15th?
i got off the waitlist on the 28th of april last yr
yea
u should
Oh so, it does matter how quickly you submit the waitlist form?
Idk
no
i submitted mine on the day prior to the deadline
She didn’t submit the wl form btw
did she get the wrong decision?
Idk tons of people have already withdrawn though
So maybe priority wl?
^
Maybe it’s not over for me 🙏
i thought it was over for me too
I need this one girl from my school to withdraw from ucla bruh she already got caltech
it's not over until it actually is
Then again different majors so probably not
Did getting off the wl affect you getting your classes
That 8% acceptance rate off the waitlist not looking too promising
no not at all
u pick classes during orientation
which is way after waitlist decisions
Ok that’s good because it hurt my UCI friend
wdym
well what are the odds u meet multiple ppl on here who got off last yr
Could t get any of her classes first uarter
damn that's fucked lmao
does UCLA says to do update your current work to increase ur chance?
Yup
anyone wanna make an admitted student discord until (if?) they make an official one
so we can share resources and just meet each otehr
omg ur still active on here
bro
i skipped this one test like two weeks ago and still haven’t retaken it
and then skipped the most recent test
so now i have two stats tests to retake💀💀💀💀💀💀
😭😭😭
#springbreak tho!!!!!
my mf teacher called me out the other day they were like
“if ur gonna get into top schools u needa act like a top student”
i was like …
hater activity 🥶🥶
AND BRO FOR SENIOR SUPERLATIVES
i got nominated for worst case of senioritis, most likely to sleep in class, most likely to be late & class clown
like tf😭😭
how tf u get multiple
i’m our schools class clown lol
jack of all trades type behavior
i think i won for late to class
whcih is false cuz like if ima be late ima jus ditch
get it right at least..
this my kinda mentality
i been ditching so much lately
no i’ve been on my academic decline it’s so bad
YEAH MY ATTENDANCE HELP
the academic falloff fr 😭
it’s ok tho spring break
our spring break comes in like 2 weeks i can’t wait
my teacher was like “don’t expect to do no work during spring break this is the time to lock in” and i was sitting there fully knowing that i wasn’t gonna touch anything until sunday night
ITS SO LATE?
yeah ik 😭
do ygs have senior assassin
i mf got in like a four car freeway chase bc of the goddamn game bro
like i was pulling gta outta me stg
some fast and furious ts
i tried to start one for our school anonymously and my friends said nobody needs this and whoever started it should kill themselves 😭
WHAT.
so i just took it down
WHAT…
😭😭
that’s so sad i’m so sorry what😭😭😭
YO WTF
wtf lol
DUDE CHASE ON THE FREEWAY IS INSANE
MF TD WAS PURGE DAY this guy SNUCK INTO SOMEONES CAR TO SHOOT THEM BRO
LIKE WENT INRO THE BACKSEAT OF SOMEONE ELSES CAR AND CAMPED THERE
NO CUZ BEFORE someone blockaded me and my friends in a parking lot?? like so rude
so we got out and tried to lose them
but they kept FOLLOWING US? SO WE WENT ONTO THE FREEWAY?? BUT THEY RECRUITED THEIR FRIENDS
what in the john wick is this
you guys shoulda shot each other from the cars like a driving shootout action movie
NO
this some action movie material bro
i wish my life were more interesting
Should I go here or northwestern
SO IN THE MF PARKING LOT THEY KEPT TRYNA SHOOT LIKE GTFO LEAVE MY POOR CAR ALONE
man im just trying to finish school lol
AND RHEN WE FINALLY GOT TO MY FRIENDS HOUSE and they lit camped there. for four hours.
same but i wanna have fun doing it
bro this is crazzy
and i called one of the girls cuz ucla came out and i was like hahahaha!! go home!!! check w ur mom!!!
and she was like yeah!! gonna do that! (she didn’t she was there for like another two hours)
people are dedicated to senior assassin
like its not that deep
LIKE TF?? LEAVE??
bro senior assassin sounds so crazy i lowk need this kinda action happening
NO CUZ WHY AM I GETTING STALKED GENUINELY
they camped outside my house and knew my routine lol
i caught someone outside my house three times like leave me alone bro💀
you met ellie right? our school is so lame bro
real
yeah she seems so sweet
our school is lame
yeah she’s nice
bro they found out my work schedule
Actually i lied she’s literally the devil
and pulled up to my mf work.
What's senior assassin?😭
As an international student this conversation is c o n c e r n i n g
u work at the canes in i forgot which city right
it’s basically a game where u shoot ppl w water
i drove by it
and the winner gets money
you get assigned a target and their location then you basically have to shoot them w water guns
i’m like oh this is where the georgetown girl goes to work
there r more rules but that’s the gist if u get shot ur out
Ohhh
idk ab gtown bro finan aid did not pull thru💀💀💀
So who wins? Last one standing?
yup
brehhh did u get ucla
and like if u get ur target then u get their target
yea
oh sick nice
That sounds crazy woah
tbh tho i was so worried ab senior assassin td it overshadowed anyrhint ab college
my ass got rejected but i got carnegie mellon tho so idgaf rn
daaaammnn
Gg cooked
can’t wait bro
congrats
Did you get into LA
i got waitlisted ucla bruhhhhhh
nah lol
at this point i'm lowkey gonna have to go sjsu cs lol
u shld come by i’ll say hi
hopefully cuz the usc legacy did not come thru
ucsd transfer to cs is like impossible so
SJSU literally goat for cs lmao
bet when i drive by i’ll slide thru
Same
I’m cooked
Might just transfer to Berkeley after a year of college
Ngl
berkeley just opened up their college of computing
so i'm hoping that means more space
Ye
bro give princeton a shot
I’m giving it 1 year
see if u like it there first
and berekeley has less applicants this year compared to sd and la so hopefully
yeah
o em gee did ygs go to the tecca concert
Bros going to princeton you're chillin
It’s cause imma be homesick
that’s what i’ll do with cmu if end up not going
Nah I’m cooked
tbf I heard princeton is stressful lol
bro i wanted to go 😭😭
everyone. ik. went to either tecca or ye yesterday and i’m
Ye
I should've applied to stanford
going to genuinely kms seeing their stories
I really underestimated myself lol
Same
i wanted to see tecca so bad
Even if I didn't get in at least i would've tried
but it’s whatever
bro fr
can't go to cmu if i got in because too expensive
why is cmu so expensive bruh
i need to sell my kidney to go there
wait what’s cmus coa
its like $85k
oh damn
Blessed
The housing is $10k alone damn
Pton coa is 88k
why is the food like $7k
Prolly meal plan
i better be getting nice food if i go bro
some delicious ahh shii
ngl cornell is lowkey more expensive
What does yield protected mean?
nah trust berkeleys gonna clutch for u i can tell
and im lowk pretty solid with these predictions
valorant alone isnt healthy bro 😭
i cant take it anymore
fax!!
Berkeley needs to save me because the ivy’s are too expensive and the other oos ones too 💀
it means i’m so good that they rejected me cuz they know im gonna get into a better school so im obviously not attending
ME FR
spoiler alert: it didn't go so well
PRAY. waiting for berk
ong
berkeley does have their new college of computing so hoping it means more space lol
OH SCIKK
did not know
hopefully that means they let me in for recs
Really hope CS doesn't let me down
*eecs
yeah
eecs is engineering i think
well theres cs in eecs
wait so if i apply for cs on application
yeah hopefully the cs kids applied college of computing
what department would that be
i just wanna do electrical engineering
data science & cs both fall under computing
data science is my alt lol
Berkeley is genuinely my last hope and my potential savior
ok yeah
I swear I will never step on the crest if i get in
college of computing
yeah
is there like a big difference?
also berkeley does have less applicants than sd and la so
wdym
cs through eecs or college of computing
what would u guys pick berkeley eecs or cmu ece
depends on cost imo
let’s say cost isn’t an issue
at all
which would u pick
ok thx
i think eecs is like 80% cs anyways
ahh
I guess it depends if you want to focus more on cs or engineering lol
i kinda wanted to get in cs through eecs ngl
oh fr? i thought it was more ee focused oh well ion wanna do 80% cs why doesn’t berkeley have their own EE major
idk tbh
ight gn im a snooze
peace
actually i think eecs is also college of computing
gn
yeah looking into it rn
caue the two options are through college of engineering or letters and sciences
for cs
and u only go through letters and sciences if u come in undeclared
Dayum nice, so how do you know if you have been yield protected do you get like a different rejection letter
No its just cope
is this fr
How to get off the waitlist as an oos ❤️
Got into UCLA but I don't think I can pay
please ping me if u know but does ucla accepted LOCIs for waitlisted or nah?
and if so where do i submit it some say email others say on the additional information section on the portal
was there anything in particular you put in the wl form
was it like just standard loci and updates
it should be additional info section
wait is this real ruby wtf
Ahh gotchu
Did you get ucla
Yes!
Yes!
However it could be they made an error or something so she emailed admissions and I’ll update you when they email back
tysm
im in shock today
Ofc!! What happened today?
i knew it was probably gonna happen but i was not ready for four rejects/waitlists yesterday
writing locis really sucks
wait does ucla send any mail or anything for acceptance
same here
I heard they do
LETSGO
Yasss. I heard it wasn’t rlly clothes but like stickers and small stuff but still slay
do they do it for overseas citizens 
I’m not sure if they do
I’d assume so, and I hope so, but I’m not sure
although I am attending a Bruin Bound International Orientation program on 27th March, perhaps they will give me some goodies there
There will prob be goods at the event. There was for UCSB when I attended the chancellor program
