and i like food and middlebury has unlimited meal swipes and a garden

runic viper
#

with LA its kinda hard to get good letter of recs

#

class size too big

leaden rover
#

yea

cursive pendant
#

yeah so when english would get boring for me i would just make my intros and conclusions super sarcastic or poetic

grizzled flax
#

most top lacs are better than ucla if you're trying to go to grad school

leaden rover
#

yeah

raven moss
cursive pendant
#

or come up with a batshit insane premise for an essay

leaden rover
#

onlybad rthing is lac more rigorous

#

thats why i wanted to go brown

#

so much grade inflation

runic viper
#

i thought LA has grade deflation though

leaden rover
#

la does too kinda

raven moss
runic viper
#

or does LAC have more

grizzled flax
leaden rover
#

will lac is just rigorous in workload

grizzled flax

#

in my streetcar named desire essay i wrote about how blanche is actually projecting the mannerisms of a stereotypical gay man

grizzled flax
#

even after aid

runic viper
#

is it as bad as berkeley

raven moss
raven moss
#

None

grizzled flax
raven moss
grizzled flax
#

it's more apparent in physics and math and engineering

leaden rover
#

im praying on Colby pulvers rn

#

if i get in ill jump in yippee form

runic viper
#

ill jump with you together

raven moss
grizzled flax
runic viper
#

we can do a total of five jumping jacks

raven moss
grizzled flax
#

berkeley literally makes it very obvious t hatt they're trying to filter kids out

leaden rover
#

ye

grizzled flax
#

ucla cs courses too tbh

raven moss
#

Oh nice isn’t it in Maine

leaden rover
#

waterville 💀

grizzled flax
#

my prof kept being like "oh yea btw if u mess up on this one thing on the project you're failing the class"

raven moss
raven moss
grizzled flax
#

berk if i got in for cs

raven moss
#

What did you get in for

leaden rover
#

ok eecs is crazy for berk

runic viper
#

i thoght ucla cs was better tho

leaden rover
#

no

grizzled flax
#

i got rejected

leaden rover
#

bro

#

eecs is one of the best

raven moss
grizzled flax
#

didn't get in

runic viper
#

idk im just uneducated

grizzled flax
#

yea it's ok tho cuz

#

my dumbass didn't apply for cs to berk

#

so if i got in i would've accepted it

#

not knowing that they banned switching to cs

raven moss
#

If I get into Berk gg my dad will not let me go to la 💀

grizzled flax
#

i would've been eternally fucked

leaden rover
#

my mom wants me to leave lol

runic viper
#

did they ban switching to other majors

leaden rover
#

to get to the northeast

raven moss
cursive pendant
#

the more i hear about other colleges the more i wonder if columbia students are actually just complaining for no reason

raven moss
grizzled flax
#

for some majors

leaden rover
#

assimilate into the non asian cultures

runic viper
#

cause i might get in for stats and could transfer to data science

leaden rover
#

forge new connections

grizzled flax
#

like for example some of the engineering majors

runic viper
#

hopefully if all goes well

cursive pendant
#

like at least they’re not deflated

raven moss
leaden rover
#

also anyone apply scu i know this not th ethread but the thread is so dead for it

runic viper
#

if i cant its wtv

#

a degree in stats is workable

raven moss
leaden rover
#

santa clara

raven moss
#

Oh nope but people got in

leaden rover
#

no decisions yet for me

cedar flicker
cursive pendant
#

i actually have to wonder where brown takes you after grad

leaden rover
#

@runic viper we're so cooked for calc

cursive pendant
#

i honestly have no idea

leaden rover
#

wtf

runic viper
#

no we arent

leaden rover
#

we got 3 weeks of units to learn and prac

runic viper
#

my approach to school is learn everything before the day of the test

#

and then ace the test

cursive pendant
cedar flicker
leaden rover
#

gg

raven moss
#

Is there a ucla discord

grizzled flax
#

ye

runic viper
#

never over till its really over

cursive pendant
cedar flicker
#

im doing pre med

leaden rover
#

wat is arclength and what is washer method cuz im lost

grizzled flax
#

prob grad school

cedar flicker
#

im chilling

runic viper
#

bro

grizzled flax
#

u might as well go to grad school if ur gpa is high at a school like brown

runic viper
#

it is just shapes and integral

#

and boom you find volume

raven moss
runic viper
#

and then theres sucking and hoisting with a little more addition

grizzled flax
#

they have a vanity link

raven moss
#

Or do I need to be committed

grizzled flax
#

gg/ucla

raven moss
grizzled flax
#

it's open to anybody

raven moss
#

Bc

cursive pendant
runic viper
#

i love me and andrews calc bc class

#

its so fun

raven moss
grizzled flax
#

ill dm u it

raven moss
#

Ty

grizzled flax
#

np

leaden rover
#

aigh bruh whatever we cram tmr

#

7 hr grind sesh and valorant in the middle

raven moss
#

Washer method is when you rotate area and make it volume around an x axis

#

By integrating area

#

Between the curves

cursive pendant
#

so for a riemann sum instead of the area you take sqrt(f’(x)^2 + 1)

leaden rover
#

@grizzled flax are there esports labs at ucla

#

that are open to students

grizzled flax
#

yea

cursive pendant
#

and then you integrate that normally

grizzled flax
#

they're at the dorms

runic viper
#

cant stop talking about it at school

leaden rover
#

wat

#

idk u lil bro

runic viper
#

lol just trolling you

#

but u gotta stop ur addiciton

cursive pendant
#

washer and arc length are essentially you messing with the integrand at each point so your integral gives you a sum that is the value you’re looking for

#

so like intuitively in a washer instead of taking a vertical line at every infinitesimal point you take… a washer

#

crazy right

grizzled flax
#

i remember when my math prof last qtr was saying arclength but i didn't know what she was saying for an entire week cuz of her accent

#

so i learned nothing that entire week

leaden rover
#

sry

runic viper
#

??

leaden rover
#

nvm

#

its a tiktok thing

leaden rover
wanton cape
#

physics?

cursive pendant
#

then for arc length you’re taking the limit of the chord length from one point on the curve to another

#

as that gets smaller and smaller you get the arc length

leaden rover
#

aight bruh u reinforcing that im cooked

cursive pendant
leaden rover
#

ima watch some review vids and call it a day

cursive pendant
#

that’s only half a joke

runic viper
#

where my fellow stat majors at

grizzled flax
#

statistix

wanton cape
#

read munkres analysis on manifolds

cursive pendant
wanton cape
#

and you will have a greater appreciation for what arc length really means

#

👍

cursive pendant
#

honestly you’re probably right

#

i do not get how arc length is different from that faulty proof of pi=4

wanton cape
#

i'm in a class rn that's just about to get to areas on manifolds

cursive pendant
#

i’ll probably know by the time i finish baby analysis

wanton cape
#

so far we defined volumes in R^n

#

which is pretty interesting

#

and not actually that complicated either

leaden rover
#

also

wanton cape
#

it's the integral of 1 over a bounded set if the function 1 is riemann integrable over that set

cursive pendant
#

can you find volume for lebesgue integrable sets

#

that aren’t bounded or connected

#

bear with me i don’t know measure theory yet lmao

wanton cape
#

idk the textbook didn't define it for unbounded sets

#

and i don't know measure theory either

#

but the condition for the existence of volume (munkres calls it rectifiable) is equaivalent to the condition that the boundary has measure zero

#

a set in R^n has measure zero if for all epsilon > 0 you can cover it with countably many rectangles with total volume less than epsilon

fiery cliff
#

are you a pure math major?

wanton cape
#

yeah

fiery cliff
#

oh interesting

cursive pendant
tawny violet
#

math major is insane

cursive pendant
#

when you say countably

#

that means finite or countably infinite

wanton cape
#

yeah

tawny violet
cursive pendant
#

what’s a countably infinite cover of a measure zero boundary

#

and i assume this means it excludes shit like a straight line to infinity

wanton cape
#

a straight line does not have measure zero in R

#

but actually does in R^2

cursive pendant
#

wait what

#

how would you cover it with finite area

leaden rover
wanton cape
#

because you can cover [0,1] with a rectangle of area 1/2, [1,2] with a rectangle of area 1/4, etc

#

and it becomes a geometric sequence that converges to a finite number

leaden rover
#

my brain just folded itself reading their convo

fiery cliff
#

👀

wanton cape
#

nah trust me i'm dying in my class

cursive pendant
tawny violet
leaden rover
#

this why im a psych major

wanton cape
#

nah a rectangle is defined to be the cartesian product of closed intervals

#

so like [0,1] X [0,1]

leaden rover
#

im too dumb for hardcore stem

cursive pendant
#

that’s what i figured but for a slanted line

fiery cliff
#

pure math is certainly a different breed

cursive pendant
#

how would you continue to geometrically decrease the area

leaden rover
#

hopefully premed prereqs aint like this

fiery cliff
#

i am an applied math major although taking a couple of pure math classes are imp for grad school

cursive pendant
#

there’s a minimum positive area for each length of the slanted line right?

fiery cliff
#

measure theory/algebraic geometry/topology/differential geometry for example

cursive pendant
leaden rover
#

yea nah im going to bed

wanton cape
leaden rover
#

my brain is stimulated

cursive pendant
wanton cape
#

i think it's still rectifiable because two sided differentiable maps preserve rectifiable sets

cursive pendant
#

oh wait

tawny violet
cursive pendant
#

no you’re totally right since the rectangles can cover a ball anyway

wanton cape
#

oh yeah here's the lemma

(accepted davis waitlisted irvine rejected sd and berkeley) 🤪

tawny violet
#

i had zero right getting into ucla dude

#

honestly i think they fucked up but now its too late for them to change it

earnest magnet
#

i know someone who has full ride stanford and MIT

#

and got rejected at UCLA

tawny violet
#

😭

earnest magnet
#

same with caltech cs

#

accepted caltech rejected LA

#

💀

tawny violet
#

my ECs were TERRIBLE

earnest magnet
#

ur sayign that but im sure they were fine

wanton cape
#

^^

tawny violet
#

i havent done shit in my life

#

i didnt have a single one till junior year cause i didnt even know they were considered for colleges

earnest magnet
#

major?

tawny violet
#

business econ

earnest magnet
#

ZAMNNN

#

UCLA FOR BUSINESS ECON 😭

#

thats goated

tawny violet
#

isnt it just by college?

earnest magnet
#

no clue

#

i forgot

tawny violet
#

i dont think its that goated

earnest magnet
#

any ucla acceptance is goated

tawny violet
#

one of my ECs was taking care of my dog

#

😂

toxic yacht
#

Don’t put yourself down lol

tawny violet
#

im an imposter

toxic yacht
#

UCs are goofy ahh. I’m sure you probably also had good essays

earnest magnet
#

yo you got in thats fine

runic viper
#

you got in and youre chilling

toxic yacht
#

Even if you think you didn’t do much I think it’s better to acknowledge that you were qualified still nonetheless

wanton cape
earnest magnet
#

yeah fr

wanton cape
#

investment banking?

tawny violet
wanton cape
#

nah

cursive pendant
#

subset doesn’t have to be open

wanton cape
#

on yeah

cursive pendant
#

but yeah i think i got it logically too

wanton cape
#

ok so that implies lines are rectifiable 😄

cursive pendant
#

if you have an infinite number of rectangles of the same size covering a slanted line you can replace each one with two rectangles each of 1/4 area of the last one

tawny violet
cursive pendant
#

ok i’m convinced

tawny violet
#

ig ur a good fit for math majors considering you can have this convo without blowing ur brains out

wanton cape
#

mars is poli sci?

#

crazy

grizzled flax
#

bro mathematically calculates political science

cursive pendant
wanton cape
#

oh 💀

#

i'm guessing you're math/physics/cs then

cursive pendant
#

i’m poli sci english physics neuro psych linguistics cog sci philosophy and latin

#

not cs

wanton cape
#

yeah same i don't like cs

cursive pendant
#

although i can probably code better than your average first year cs kid

earnest magnet
wanton cape
#

if i sell out it's gonna be finance

earnest magnet
#

genuinely the worst major ever

i think they’re all driven by a philosophical romanticization

tawny violet
#

one of them is hell and the rest arent

cursive pendant
#

haha i disagree

tawny violet
#

im literally gonna fail calc this year

cursive pendant
#

trying to wrap my head around the hegelian dialectic sucked just as much as learning topology

grizzled flax
cursive pendant
grizzled flax
#

my calc prof goes on rants abt math history in the middle of lectures

cursive pendant
#

the further out from math you go into science the more you’re working with experimental replicability and statistical significance

#

then you reach psychology and it gets reset back to rigorous speculation

#

which i think is really beautiful even though all the scientists i know think the humanities are trash

grizzled flax

tawny violet
#

like is ucla really good for cs

grizzled flax
#

i mean yea it’s pretty good

tawny violet
#

what college are you in

cursive pendant
#

anyway this is all to say that i’m a huge hypocrite because i structure how beautiful i think a field is by how far away from biochemistry it is

grizzled flax
#

imo their lower divs are better than any cs lower divs for other UCs

#

including berkeley

grizzled flax
cursive pendant
#

i blame my friend and their bigass usabo textbook

cursive pendant
grizzled flax
#

they start u with c++ which is goated

#

every other uc is like python or something iirc

cursive pendant
grizzled flax
#

beginning with c++ will make every other language so easy to learn

cursive pendant
#

it probably helps make memory allocation easier too

#

idk i don’t know c++

grizzled flax
#

yea it definitely does

cursive pendant
#

but like i had to use generator functions this summer and that really sucked in python bc i had never used the iterable class in my life

tawny violet
grizzled flax
#

nah my gf would be so mad 💀

#

she found out abt it before i even knew it was a thing

#

and she doesn’t even go here

cursive pendant
tawny violet
#

its why i applied

grizzled flax
#

bro she said i was lying when i said i dont even know what that is

tawny violet
#

kidding

tawny violet
grizzled flax
#

no she dropped out of high school

tawny violet
grizzled flax
#

yea she lives where i grew up

#

san fernando valley

tawny violet
#

oh thats super close

#

nice

grizzled flax
#

i’m debating whether or not i should skip calc 2 next qtr

#

but ima end up having to take it with yall tryhards in the fall next yr if i do that 💀

cursive pendant
grizzled flax
#

the only prof available next qtr is some dude with a 1.8/5 rating

tawny violet
grizzled flax
cursive pendant
#

also if i do i heard they’re flexible with math placement so

cursive pendant

tawny violet
grizzled flax
#

the cs profs here try rly hard to fail u

cursive pendant
#

i’m gonna finish my loci and schedule an email to my regional counselor for commitment day probably

tawny violet
cursive pendant
#

but it might not work that c+ in history is truly fucking me

grizzled flax
#

if u make a typo in ur file name u get a 0

tawny violet
#

how bad is the grade deflation

cursive pendant
tawny violet
#

lowkey tryna go to law school and grade deflation gonna screw me

grizzled flax
#

its not bad it’s just that

#

most ppl are gonna end up with As in the cs classes cuz all the other ppl dropped it

i also took linear algebra three times

i wouldn’t get that high even if mine offered it

i’m super privileged

tawny violet
#

im still in calc ab bruh and i SUCK

vast kiln
#

Linear algebra really isn’t that bad

grizzled flax
#

isn’t it just proofs

vast kiln
#

A lot less computation than Calc

grizzled flax
#

fuck proofs

#

computation is the best part bro wdym

vast kiln
cursive pendant
vast kiln
#

At least not the one I took

grizzled flax
#

proofs 🛌 computation 😃

cursive pendant
#

linear algebra is cool because you define things one way and get a billion cool results

grizzled flax
#

there two linear algebras at ucla idk what the diff is

cursive pendant
#

it’s like

vast kiln
#

Vectors are fun to play with

tawny violet
#

ive never even taken an econ class not entirely sure why i applied as that

cursive pendant
#

the fact that functions are notated discretely automatically makes linear algebra super useful literally everywhere

tawny violet
grizzled flax
#

discrete mathers

tawny violet
#

i dread that class all day

vast kiln
#

Math is pretty neat

tawny violet

i like history class

grizzled flax

math is fun when u know what you’re doing

tawny violet

History is cool too

@grizzled flax how do I know what gen Ed’s I can skip out on through AP credit bc I’m looking rn and I’m so confused

#

#

No way 💀 took all these APs and still can’t skip geneds

Did anyone who got in receive any emails from UCLA yet

i think i got it bc i was accepted

prob region specific

stone arch

Ah

#

I’m in socal

wanton cape

ah that prob makes sense

cursive pendant
#

like they apparently have hard restrictions on math but i’ve heard you can talk to the advisor for the department and you’ll be fine

raven moss
#

Geneds

cursive pendant
#

ahh

raven moss
#

You can go onto the next level yeah

cursive pendant
#

you mean like so you have to take english regardless

raven moss

But you still have to do like a fine arts 😭

Crying

cursive pendant

just take a fun one

raven moss

there’s definitely a fun class there

raven moss
cursive pendant
#

like if i had taken ap lit and not a bunch of quirky classes in hs i’d probably hate english

raven moss
cursive pendant
#

i don’t actually know what ap lit entails ngl

#

is it like sat english but with themes and literary elements

drowsy delta
#

ap lit my worst class all cuz of the essay grading

oh and essays ig

also if someone got off the waitlist for UCLA could you DM me the letter?
my friend wanted to see it

wow we send 17 berkley and 12 UCLA... out of 526 people, and like 175ish uc applicants

lost sequoia
#

for my school its 498/657 students apply UC

runic viper
#

same as mines

lost sequoia
#

thats crazy

#

do we go to the same school??

wanton cape
cursive pendant
wanton cape
#

it's like a mid level undergrad course i think

cursive pendant
#

does yale not let students who haven't taken calculus major in math

#

ohh

wanton cape
#

i don't think they check

#

the intro courses are lin alg and analysis 1

#

and you can take either multivariable calc or vector analysis to fufill the major req

cursive pendant
#

ahh

cursive pendant
#

sorry we probably could be having this convo in the yale thread LMAO

wanton cape
#

i never took lin alg or analysis 1 officially

#

but they let me skip both

#

because i knew them

cursive pendant
#

wait what'd you take in first semester then

wanton cape
#

abstract algebra and discrete math

cursive pendant
#

oh ok

wanton cape
#

but don't take discrete math if you know combinatorics

#

abstract algebra was really good

unkempt wren
#

I got rejected for ucla ez

cursive pendant
#

yeah that's what i'm hoping whatever school i get into actually lets me take meltingsob

unkempt wren

UCBerkeley is my last hope

yes bay

wanton cape

LMAOOOOOOOOOO

but honestly not worth it if you know competition combinatorics

whsaaaaa

man really deleted his message

runic viper

WAIT SO ARE WE SAME SCHOOL

lost sequoia
#

HMMM

#

indeed

tired condor
#

wellll sometimes ppl hope they can go as a dream eventho they cant payyyy ;-;-;-;-;-;-; (exact situation im in)

#

got in and im oos and idk what ima do

#

waitlisted everywhere else depending on the private schools ;/

#

its quite an astonishing feeling to get into ucla tho

#

specially after getting waitlisted so much

lusty gyro
#

I’m very confused about AP credit and dual enrollment credit lol

#

Does A-G correlate with the ucla gen eds?

raven moss
#

Geneds

#

UCLA’s site said that

#

They can be used for advancing towards graduation/getting into higher level classes, but you still need to take geneds

hey guys is it difficult to change from biochem to bio?

raven moss
raven moss

Biochem better though

grizzled flax
eternal thorn
grizzled flax
#

well actually idk

raven moss
grizzled flax
#

personally as a cs major

raven moss
grizzled flax
#

i use ges to inflate my gpa

raven moss
#

Makes sense

grizzled flax
#

u need 180 to graduate

#

180 + done with all req classes for ur major

#

if u want an easy ge take physical sciences 5

raven moss
#

So like

grizzled flax
#

it's a 9am class tho

raven moss
#

If I get a ton via AP

#

That will mean I take less classes that aren’t required?

grizzled flax
#

yea basically

#

cuz sometimes

raven moss
#

Is one hundred 80 credits the same as units?

grizzled flax
#

some ppl will finish their major but are short on the 180 credit requirement

raven moss
#

Credits = units or

grizzled flax
#

so they end up having to take random classes to graduate

raven moss
grizzled flax
raven moss
raven moss
grizzled flax
grizzled flax

like poli sci

eternal thorn

oh also when we put in our ap scores do they go in as grades or just credits?

credits

#

only

grizzled flax
#

^

eternal thorn
#

OMG YAYYYY

grizzled flax
#

the good thing abt having a bunch of creds even tho it won't get any ges out of the way is that

#

you're prob gonna have a good time

#

enrolling for classes

raven moss
grizzled flax
patent tree
#

yeah

raven moss
patent tree
#

under 180 double isnt realistic

(i go to uci cs not ucla tho)

usc and ucla i lowkey think collaborate on who they accept cuz i’ve never seen a bitch get into both at my school. usc comes in to save the day after the wave of ucla rejections/waitlists

raven moss
raven moss

Really

grizzled flax
#

take calc 1 or 2

raven moss
grizzled flax
#

yea

raven moss
#

I was going to retake yeah

Bc I’m in bc rn

#

So it probably won’t be too bad?

grizzled flax
#

yea trust me if the prof is good u will do good

raven moss
#

Ok good

grizzled flax
#

yea technically my highest math in hs was alg 2 and im scoring above the median for every exam in calc 1 rn

raven moss

#

i don't believe so

#

💀

#

there's actually a credit max

#

u can't get over a certain amount i think

raven moss
#

Oh 💀

grizzled flax
#

or maybe that's an engineering school thing

raven moss
#

Can you still take

#

You just don’t get more credits

grizzled flax
#

i'm p sure yea as long as it's within 4 years

#

i think ucla is low key strict abt graduating within 4 yrs

raven moss
grizzled flax
#

real

raven moss
#

Dang ok so if I have 76 credits

#

And finish my major

#

I could theoretically graduate in less?

grizzled flax
#

yes

raven moss
#

I see I see

grizzled flax
#

u can graduate with a major like poli sci easily in 3 yrs

raven moss
#

Probably won’t do that but good to know

grizzled flax
#

maybe less

#

i wanna take a summer class but i am broke asf

raven moss
#

😭 do they offer financial assistance for summer

grizzled flax
#

i think if u take a certain amount of units yea

#

but i just wanna get this one class out of the way

#

so i won't be meeting the unit minimum for financial aid

patent tree
#

iirc

patent tree
grizzled flax
#

aka the cs weeder class at ucla

#

oh nvmn

#

i misinterpreted what u said

#

yea ig i could do that

#

perhaps i will

#

ill see

lusty gyro
#

How does community college credit transfer? Is it the same number of units from the CC to your ucla major

raven moss
#

Maybe ucla is not the way to go 💀

#

@grizzled flax are the gen Ed’s hard

grizzled flax
#

it just depends on ur professor

#

don't take a ge if the prof is bad

#

so far all the ges i've taken have been easy but all of the profs i've taken for them have been +4/5 rating

raven moss
grizzled flax
#

yea definitely

raven moss
#

If I get bad profs…

grizzled flax
#

yea it's crazy how much profs can make a difference fr

patent tree
#

yeah profs literally

#

define ur grade

raven moss
patent tree
#

rate my professor

grizzled flax
#

raven moss
grizzled flax
patent tree
#

grizzled flax
#

raven moss
lusty gyro
#

Wait so there are gen ed requirements that we still have to take even if we have a bunch of credit from high school

raven moss
patent tree
#

theres a lot

#

required

#

depending on ur major

lusty gyro
#

Pain

grizzled flax
#

lusty gyro
#

lusty gyro
grizzled flax
#

yea they do

raven moss
# patent tree depending on ur major

Ok so I got into revelle and my AP credits skip me out of everything but 5 course humanities, fine arts, and language but if I do skip out of those, does that mean I have to go to the next level classes

lusty gyro
#

ok not hating

patent tree
#

i go to uci

#

not ucsd

#

but

#

yeah u prolly go to the next level

raven moss
#

My bad

#

I got into UCI too

patent tree
#

bio?

raven moss
lusty gyro
#

does bio fall under applied sciences for gen ed reqs

patent tree
#

w

raven moss
#

Not sure if I want to go though

#

Idk anything about the department

raven moss
patent tree
#

yeah

#

you get priority enrollment

#

its always good to have in first year

#

enrollment gets crazy

#

classes fill up very quickly

#

imo thats the only benefit to honors

#

i believe

raven moss
raven moss
#

Is UCI bio really competitive

chrome wigeon
eternal thorn
#

is there a limit to how many ap credits i can get for the college of letters and sciences?

lusty gyro
#

they just count toward graduation

jade delta
chrome wigeon
#

youll get the classes you need most likely, you just might not get the prof you want or you might have to wait a quarter sometimes

#

its just hella annoying

jade delta
#

damn

molten coral
#

its mainly a problem for geneds right

#

i assume upper division classes are not like that (at least for math)

south apex
#

ion rock wit ucla no more they used the be my number 2 fav school but their ass rejected me fake ahh school

jade delta
#

LMAO

#

😭

#

hope usc accepts u next week

lusty gyro
#

🙏

chrome wigeon
#

it depends on the upper div

#

but 99% of people make it out fine in 4 years

#

dont be like my friend and oversleep your enrollment time LOL

molten coral
#

lmao

chrome wigeon
#

some are insanely popular (usually the easy ones), others not so much

#

also

molten coral
#

a friend of mine told me about clusters

#

do you recommend them?

chrome wigeon
#

it wouldnt hurt to have CC credits before you start your freshman year here

#

it migiht bump up your enrollment times a bit sooner than the standard

molten coral
#

classes from LACs transfer as well right?

chrome wigeon
#

yea

#

anything thats not an AP exam tbh

molten coral
#

._.

chrome wigeon
#

usually not for college of engineering

molten coral
#

did this only recently become a thing

chrome wigeon
#

and then it depends on which one you take

molten coral
#

that they dont accept AP exams for GE credit

chrome wigeon
#

they do, but it doesnt count for enrollment priority

#

your 80 AP credits do nothing for ur enrollment time

molten coral
#

mhm

lusty gyro
#

wait it does count for GE credit

#

im lost

molten coral
#

no it doesnt

#

i think u j get credit for it

#

but not GE

lusty gyro
#

nah ill figure this all out with a counselor

molten coral
#

lol

#

lusty gyro
#

got a question, ucla’s priority deadline for finaid is April 2nd but my FAFSA is still processing so I can’t add UCLA to the list of unis, would you recommend I wait for FAFSA to process or just email ucla finaid to let them know and ask for their assistance?

molten coral
#

^ I think I might be in the same situation cuz I don’t even remember if I put it in the list of schools

fiery cliff
#

I didn’t add any UCs because I thought I would get rejected 💀

dusk spindle

He just doesnt understand how money works

molten coral

dusk spindle
#

I can probably talk him out of this with time

molten coral
#

gl with that

dusk spindle
#

Hes like “just take loans for it, you can pay it off with a good job”

lusty gyro
#

you kinda need to, he needs to understand the amount of debt you'd be in

molten coral
#

bruh

dusk spindle
#

“I went to graduate school in the us and my parents didnt pay for it”

molten coral
#

yeah lemme take 300k of loans

dusk spindle

“I want to school in china and my parents didnt pay for it”

# dusk spindle He can pay for it

ik some parents say that so their kids have to learn financial responsibility stuff but then pay off the debt once they graduate, any chance hed be doing that?

dusk spindle
#

To talk him out of it

#

Cuz i aint taking out 300k in loans

#

Purdue is free for me

unkempt blade
dusk spindle
#

But he’s dead set on like

#

“You have to get into hypsm” all of a sudden

unkempt blade
#

Even if you set off $10k a year to pay it'd take three decades

dusk spindle
#

Idk what hes fucking on

He’s like “waitlists are worst than rejections”

lusty gyro
#

2%

#

dusk spindle
#

I still dont understand the reasoning

#

Hes like “waitlists mean the colleges dont like you”

#

“Rejections mean they want you to get accepted to a good college”

lusty gyro
#

that is the most asian parent reasoning ive ever seen

dusk spindle

“But they didnt have enough room so they moved you onto another college”
