UC Los Angeles (UCLA) (2023-2024)

[slim sparrow]

what if they have a way to find out

[upper tiger]

wouldnt the only way be by calling each student's school counselor which would take waaaaay too long

[slim sparrow]

they most likely would still do it

for at least sone people

its like lying about your ecs, they randomly audit very few people but no one lies anyway because there is a chance they are audited

so i dont think it would be worth the risk

just my opinion though

[unique plume]

i mean i wasn’t lying about mine but my friends were

one decided to just not report current grades altogether 💀

[slim sparrow]

i know a lot of people that arent putting any current grades

[upper tiger]

are you able to edit the loci even after you submit it?

[wanton cape]

@grizzled flax

is this cost actually legit

i simply cant imagine ppl buying textbooks in the digital age or am i missing something

[grizzled flax]

no i pirate everything

[wanton cape]

ok thank god

is that just 2k shaved off?

[grizzled flax]

yea

[wanton cape]

you are the best thanks

[grizzled flax]

haven't spent a dime

yea np

[wanton cape]

also the transportation

$800

is that a mandatory thing

or just expected gas cost

[grizzled flax]

uh i think some of it is

like

they add on a bus pass fee

or something

[wanton cape]

gotchu

thx

[grizzled flax]

its not 800 tho

yea np

[wanton cape]

any idea how much it costs

ik u prob dont know off the top of ur head

[grizzled flax]

ngl idk but def less than 800

considerably less

[wanton cape]

ok thx

also this

is this just like going out

i swear these categories are ambigious as hell

[grizzled flax]

i have no idea what that's for

LOL

[wanton cape]

this is so stupid

theyre inflating their own costs

i swear it's gonna end up being only like 25k

unless im severely misguided

[grizzled flax]

my costs were somewhat less than what they said it would be

like 2k less

1500-2000 less

[wanton cape]

im trying to budget it

and with classic triple

it brings down the calculted room and board costs by 5k

which i think u told me abuot before

that alone

do u think they use the 18k figure because most ppl get a double in higher years or smth

[grizzled flax]

they prob take the average of all types of housing costs or some shit

[wanton cape]

gotchu

[grizzled flax]

cuz the dorm i live in is 21k i think

per yr

and then classics are like 14-15k

so 18k seems about right if they average everything out

[wanton cape]

aite bet

[ionic bramble]

Until tomorrow yeah

[unique plume]

ya u have until 11:59 tn to submit

[patent dock]

I’m going to start my waitlist letter soon

[honest warren]

Can’t wait to get my hopes up every time I get a gmail notification thinking it’s me getting off the wl

[lusty gyro]

Suite?

[grizzled flax]

same

oh

no

i live in a plaza double

same price as a suite tho

[lusty gyro]

Oh gotcha

[patent dock]

Submitted 11:58

[unique plume]

submitted 5 days ago 🤣

[cunning elk]

I'd buy textbooks...

[digital kraken]

is there just no out of state aid calculator

like bro how am i supposed to know how much this costs

[cunning elk]

they barely give oos aid ngl

[digital kraken]

It’s cooked

[unique plume]

UC OOS is a ripoff bro i can't believe they be charging that much

but i mean it makes sense since they have to prioritize in state

ya i retract my statement W UC for prioritizing in state

[lusty gyro]

Irvine

[wanton cape]

why

[cunning elk]

i hate digital books they hurt my eyes

[alpine plaza]

some textbooks suck cuz they have that kinda smooth plasticky feel to their pages

[rapid roost]

Is it possible to get off the wl prior to May 1st/May 15th

[raven moss]

yes

[proven pewter]

is it possible to get off waitlist with a bad senior year grade

[true sparrow]

yes but there’s always a downside to having a bad grade vs a good grade

[unique plume]

a bad?

what do you consider a bad grade bro don't u dare say a B

[proven pewter]

no

a B and a C

C is for a class i took at a CC

[ember timber]

Anyone get financial stuff yet?

[fiery cliff]

nope, not yet

[lusty gyro]

how difficult would be to switch majors within a college? im wondering if human bio might be a better choice than reg bio

[unique plume]

ur fine bro

[alpine plaza]

chat am i going to get rescinded if i get a D for a class i'm taking at a CC

[unique plume]

uhhhhh i'd assume they're not gonna be happy

getting a D in a CC class is crazy bro

[raven moss]

Easy

[fiery cliff]

I GOT MY ACCEPTANCE PACKAGE 3 WEEKS AFTER I COMMITTED LOL. THEY DIDNT FORGET ALL THE US CITIZENS LIVING ABROAD 🥺

[proven pewter]

i’m kinda jealous

i want to get in too

[chrome wigeon]

Not hard at all

But human bio is an application-based major fyi

you need to apply at the end of your sophomore year to get in

(its not that bad though allegedly if you have a high GPA and you look like you tried ECs and on your essays, youll get in)

[cunning elk]

OMGGGGGGG SLAYYYYYYYYY

also your name is in that

nice to meet you ||deez nuts||

[grizzled flax]

yo guys whoever is taking 31b or 33a do not take pablo sanchez ocal

unless you're ok with 100% self studying calc 2 or linear algebra i suggest not to take him

[tawny violet]

Probably not but If you get a c there’s a 0 percent chance so just do that

[ember timber]

Wait explain this lol. I got accepted as a human bio major

[lusty gyro]

oh gotcha, thank you for the help

[alpine plaza]

naw dawg its linear algebra, no clue whats going on and my prof keeps asking proofs on the test 😭

[hollow falcon]

would we be able to reasonably avoid him when choosing classes?

[chrome wigeon]

You were admitted as a pre-human bio major, so you're in the premajor but you will need to apply at the end of your 2nd year to join the actual major

[ember timber]

wtf is the point of regents for ucla

It barely gives you money

I thought this was going to be my last chance to get to ucla

But turns out it’s not gonna help at all

Damn ucla hopes are gone

Minus well rescind now

[hollow falcon]

wait did regents come out???

[ember timber]

Comes out with fin aid offer

I just did more research on it

And it’s useless

[hollow falcon]

ohhh,,,,

when the finaid offer coming lol

[ember timber]

Ifk

Idk

Doesn’t even matter

I can’t afford ucla

[wooden lodge]

Go bruins!

[jade delta]

noooo poni :(((

[ember timber]

Im probably gonna rescind, I gotta rescind Berkeley too

But it’s ok

Full ride at state school for the win!!

[jade delta]

yay!!

[unique plume]

Thank you for your service

[ember timber]

Regents out?

I just got my aid letter

[unique plume]

i just got ucsb aid when i'm waitlisted 💀

W tho tuition is very good

[honest warren]

Does that mean you got off the waitlist?

[unique plume]

no they said they send to waitlisted students too for some reason

[honest warren]

Oh I see

[unique plume]

idk why they would go through the effort of telling me all the scholarships and shit i'd get if i get off the waitlist

[ember timber]

I cannot find ucla aid offer for the life of me

[stoic plover]

Huh I used the direct link they provided in email

Also maybe bc everyone is trying to look rn so website is struggling to handle all of us 😭

[ember timber]

I did to and it’s leading me to this

[valid gale]

B is bad grade

[unique plume]

yesss it is it's so bad if u get a B striaght to community college for you

[valid gale]

Yup

[stoic plover]

Ah so probs gotta check by later

[valid gale]

Did they release regents today?

[stoic plover]

I wish yall gl on ur financial aid letter 💀

[unique plume]

I'm withdrawing from UCSD because I have Bs on my transcript. I don't deserve to be admitted. I'm a fraud.

[valid gale]

Or financial aid offers?

[valid gale]

Yeah bro you’re an imposter

[stoic plover]

Financial aid was just released check ur email/portal (but it seems portal not working ?)

[valid gale]

I didn’t get an email, would they have sent it to everyone or only ppl who got aid

[stoic plover]

Everyone including waitlist

Titled “Your UCLA Provisional Aid Letter (PAL)” in email

[valid gale]

Weird I didn’t get anything

Is it only if you submitted FAFSA in time

Cuz I still haven’t

[stoic plover]

Huh u haven’t submitted ur FAFSA yet?

Idk if they gonna send out PAL to ppl who submitted FAFSA late today

[slim sparrow]

my friend on the waitlist didn’t get an email

[unique plume]

I'm on waitlist i didn't get email either

[slim sparrow]

and he submitted his fafsa

[stoic plover]

I guess it’s rolling cause in the instagram GC I’m in waitlist got theirs

[unique plume]

uh oh am i #cooked

[proven pewter]

i didn’t but maybe it’s cuz i made an error in my form?

[unique plume]

it's pretty difficult to send emails to almost 30k people simultaneously if we're including waitlist

remmeber how ucla would send those bullshit "you belong at ucla emails" and everyone would get them hours apart from each other or even days

[slim sparrow]

it means ur not getting off the waitlist you should withdraw and start crying urself to sleep

[unique plume]

I can't withdraw anymore but i will do the latter

[slim sparrow]

yes it is a 100% guarantee u will not get off the waitlist (i’m joking btw)

[ember timber]

Anyone get on portal yet?

[valid gale]

When do they release regents

[ember timber]

With the aid I’m pretty sure

Whats the hype around regents tho

[wanton cape]

@ember timber scholarship money

[ember timber]

But it’s not a lot?

Also it says my UID number is not associated with my ucla account

[proven pewter]

when did people get the waitlist admit email last year? was it saturday morning or friday morning

[honest warren]

They started admitting on April 21st last year

April 30th the year before I think

But with the fafsa delays idk if it’ll be like that this year

[valid gale]

How did you get 30k

[unique plume]

uhhh ucla typically admits 12k people

waitlists 16-18k

[cunning elk]

bruh UCLA fin aid is so rxuijdsft

[cunning elk]

Priority enrollment i think?

[tawny violet]

Thanks ucla

[unique plume]

BRO WHAT?

That is INSANE that is not worth whatsoever holy shit

[tawny violet]

I think ur misinterpreting it

[unique plume]

wdym

[tawny violet]

Like they’re saying that unless total cost was over that number

They wouldn’t help with aid

Cause they expect us to be able to afford it

[unique plume]

so r u getting aid or ...

[tawny violet]

So basically the price is just full pay for ucla in state

[unique plume]

oh

[tawny violet]

So like 13k+ food and housing

[wooden lodge]

Just say whether ur cooked or not

[tawny violet]

Not cooked just funny

[wooden lodge]

Good then ur fine

[tawny violet]

Yeah thankfully parents have saved up enough cause ucla ain’t helping at all lmao

[hollow falcon]

anyone get regents lol

[low musk]

220k still seems like a lot for in-state tuition.. no?

[wooden lodge]

Ya that’s what I thought so I asked cooked or not

[weak dawn]

You need to commit to get the financial aid offer?

[cunning elk]

no

i didn't commit

[weak dawn]

Huh

How come mine isn’t there

[ember timber]

This is mine 😦

So I think it’s time for me to leave this chat

[grizzled flax]

WTF

[lusty gyro]

i still did not get mine what

[grizzled flax]

same

unless current students are supposed to get it later but that makes no sense

[lusty gyro]

well im not a current student either so idk

[somber kestrel]

when will they release ucla regents results

[ember timber]

Prob already did

[somber kestrel]

i havent heard anyone got it tho?

like usually someone here would say they got it but so far there haven't been any cases

[grizzled flax]

well keep in mind that only 75 ppl get it

[weak dawn]

They gave it with the financial aid package right?

[valid gale]

How do you access ucla cost of attendance in MYUCLA

[fiery cliff]

got cooked with PAL as OOS 😂

[fiery cliff]

go to admissions home and click on view PAL

[raven moss]

They never give aid oos

[fiery cliff]

yeh I was prepared for full cost

it's alright

[ember timber]

Welp guys it’s been a hell of a application cycle

Time for me to leave this thread

Until we meet again

[alpine plaza]

so real

[unique plume]

thank you for your service

yeah OOS is expensive but it’s to have more in state attend

[raven moss]

Nah it’s to get more money

The number of oos people ik going to la is wild

One of my potential roommates is from Boston

[cunning elk]

same

i've seen a bunch from india, one from istanbul, a bunch from states like minnesota, illinois, washington and more

i mean a majority still cali but

rich oos kids exist too

[fiery cliff]

i mean, having seen the indian cohort, pretty much everyone indian admit can afford intl cost which is a few dollars more than OOS

not all, but most can

almost half, i'd say, of the indians admits come from the elite schools of india

[fiery cliff]

Oo, have you committed to UCLA? Weren't you choosing between another uni (sorry, I don't remember which one)

[raven moss]

I’m basically committed yes! Yeah I was looking at usc but expenses

[sand plinth]

soooo anyone who also got into berkeley (eecs specifically) and planning to not go

pls help ya girl out (im wl)

[rose coyote]

girl is asking in the ucla thread

[slim sparrow]

who tf chooses ucla over berkeley eecs lmao

[fiery cliff]

Oh, awesome!

[sand plinth]

idk some ppl could it never hurts to ask

[sand plinth]

yessir

[rose coyote]

oh i thought u were asking to be let off the berkeley waitlist

nvm

get me off the berkeley waitlist pls 🙏

[sand plinth]

i was talking about getting of the berkeley waitlist lol

im wl for eecs

[rose coyote]

oh i thought ucla over berk nvm nvm nvm

[rose coyote]

samesies

then why are you asking in the ucla thread 😭

[sand plinth]

nobody responding in the berkeley thread soo my logic was like if i ask in the ucla maybe someone who like got into berkeley but is going to ucla would be more active in this thread idk my logic is weird

im just trying to figure out my chances

but good luck to you man i hope we both get off!

[rose coyote]

lets pray we get in aaaaahhhhhh

[sand plinth]

i was at prom

and i found a bear statue idk why there was a bear statue

but anyways

i like prayed to it to get off the waitlist

[unique plume]

real

[slim sparrow]

that’s crazy i’ve never heard of anyone doing that

[honest warren]

I did the same thing except at the actual Bruin statue

[sand plinth]

awww i hope you get off the waitlist

[honest warren]

Hope you get off too

[unique plume]

friendly reminder to anyone who is not planning on attending UCLA to please reject offer 🙏

[cunning elk]

damn 💀

bcuz i can't😭

[woven spear]

wouldn't it be the same for berkeley as well lol

[woven spear]

this is true. Personally I'm not from an elite school in my city, and having seen some of the admits loads are from feeder schools in Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi etc.

[cunning elk]

it is yeah

i can't afford either schools oos/intl

[cunning elk]

compared to my school yours is practically a feeder/elite

bruh omg i remember your school was where i went to my first mun and i was so impressed cuz the facilities were like new and top notch and y'all had AC and everything

[fiery cliff]

AC needs to be mandatory in schools in Delhi, temperatures go up to 47C in peak summer

ain't no way anyone can focus while they sweat profusely

[woven spear]

It’s definitely better, won’t deny, but as I’ve mentioned to you my batch of students is prolly the most successful

Only just started to get some good admits, there are other schools around our city that are better

[woven spear]

Won’t deny that it’s quite good compared to other large schools so I’ll give you that😂 you were prolly luck that the facilities were working well on those days, prolly cuz they knew students from other schools were coming 💀

[cunning elk]

oh that's fair

what are schools your classmates are going to

[cunning elk]

LOL fair

also this was like 5 years ago so more new?

[woven spear]

Don’t want to shade on my school and act ungrateful, prolly got slightly worse since then 😂

[woven spear]

2 are Oxbridge bound, another is going to Purdue

[cunning elk]

daaaaaamn

my school might have better results this year tho💀 Harvard, berkeley, umich, Purdue

it's just my batch tho

[cunning elk]

fair fair😭

[woven spear]

Yea exactly my school isn’t a feeder school in any way

[woven spear]

Impressive ash tho 💀

[cunning elk]

no fr

[fiery cliff]

sheesh that's goated

we had 8 purdue admits of which only 1 is going

haven't had any ivy leagues though

[woven spear]

I mean can’t slack on Oxford and Cambridge tho

[woven spear]

Same

[fiery cliff]

We did get johns hopkins and georgiatech though

One of my friends and I both got Imperial and UCL but we aren't going there

[fiery cliff]

true, getting an interview itself is a really good achievement, an offer after that is W

[woven spear]

Oh same lol

[woven spear]

Yea I can attest from my own experience lol

[violet pewter]

When do we find out ab waitlists

[honest warren]

Anytime from now till June/July

[autumn coral]

Everyone at mine are going to IIT lol.

[cunning elk]

oh yeah my school also has a 99.98 jee percentile kid 💀

bro my batch kinda cracked

[unique plume]

Mid may - July

[violet pewter]

i hope it's mid may i just wanna know

[low musk]

Ik ucla waitlist comes out in waves but is it only acceptances? So at the end if you didn’t get an email you were rejected?

[rose coyote]

??

[woven spear]

are you talking abt Waitlists?

if you're referring to RD iirc they never sent us a mail

SD did but LA didn't, neither did Berk

[low musk]

Yea waitlists mb

Will there be a letter saying an update to your decision was made

[woven spear]

you should only expect responses after May 15th is my understanding

[low musk]

Or if u hear back it’s an acceptance

Ye ik

[rose coyote]

if you hear back, its probably going to be an acceptance

they send rejections in the very end to everyone probably late-june

[low musk]

thanks

[lusty gyro]

i literally had my ssn in front of me when i put in the app lol

[wooden lodge]

i read this as "i literally had my son in front of me"

[lusty gyro]

😭

[autumn coral]

100 at mine 💀 😅

[wispy skiff]

fUCLA

[stone horizon]

ucla vandy or hopkins

[south apex]

depends on major?

[unique plume]

r u in state

[leaden rover]

any ucla premed students doin psych?

im a bit lost on which courses to take

[tawny violet]

UCLA lil bro

[tawny violet]

They got a protest outside Royce 🤦‍♂️

[ionic bramble]

Trying to be Berkeley

[tawny violet]

Literally

[south apex]

usc got their own shenanigans goin on asw

[unique plume]

bro their graduation got canceled

that’s so absurd considering if that’s the class of 2020 for hs their grad was canceled too

i would be LIVID

[grizzled flax]

protestors ruining it for everyone

[soft dock]

Why are these universities so tied to certain political entities though

not speaking on UCLA specifically

[grizzled flax]

the students? or do u mean the institution themselves

[soft dock]

idk about UCLA"s situation

the institutions

[grizzled flax]

well most institutions and big companies are all ran by jewish people

so they're gonna side with israel

[leaden rover]

which courses at ucla r like hard to get? like what courses can a freshman expect to get in psych or like premed/ge courss

im lwky a bit lost tbh

[soft dock]

I feel like blaming protestors here is rlly a limited judgement

[grizzled flax]

protesting isn't gonna make the jewish ppl disappear

without them there will be no top universities

or companies

[soft dock]

who said anything about jewish people dissappearing 💀

Literally many of the protestors themselves are jewish

JVP, etc etc

[grizzled flax]

do u think that's the majority cuz it is not

jewish ppl run these institutions and therefore will not change their ways

simple as that

not saying what they're doing is right or wrong

it's just not going to change

[soft dock]

well why blame protestors for speaking up against injustice?

at least they have the guts to do something

[grizzled flax]

they're not doing anything if it's not getting anything done

they got rid of usc's grad ceremony

and they were class of 2020 in high school

which already didn't have a graduation

[soft dock]

usc didnt let their valedictorian speak anyways....

[grizzled flax]

yea that's wrong but they're not gonna reverse what they did

[soft dock]

also, protesting can do something

the US needs more awareness on this issue

and protesting brings that attention

[unique plume]

hello mandem

[grizzled flax]

can and has are two different words

[unique plume]

yeah dude poor usc grads

I would be so livid

genuinely

[grizzled flax]

i can win the lottery but is it likely no

[soft dock]

I feel like its not even the protestors causing this. It's the police who are beating the students up 😭

[unique plume]

lost out on a hs grad then a college grad there is no way usc admin even considered that

[grizzled flax]

yea i would be so pissed

whoever graduated in 2020 and got into usc but chose something else is prob so happy rn

[soft dock]

its a bad situation, but like I'd say its not really valid to blame the protestors when the police and etc are escalating situations

[grizzled flax]

the police wouldn't have been there if the protestors were never there to begin with

it's literally a trend

haven't seen a protest here in 2-3 months about the conflict until now

they get bored and then move on to something else

[soft dock]

It isn't necessarily a trend

people are trying to find a way to deal with the injustice going on

because our voices are just getting ignored no matter what we do

once again, blame the institutions for completely ignoring students and treating them like crap

[grizzled flax]

idk man i'm muslim and i've been treated just fine

[soft dock]

I mean the protestors

[grizzled flax]

bro they're not going to give into the protestors

[soft dock]

The protestors and anyone who is mildly pro-Palestine

[grizzled flax]

i told u that jewish ppl run these institutions and companies

they're not going to give in

[soft dock]

I don't think silence is the answer man, people gotta do something

[grizzled flax]

protesting isn't the answer either

if it was then things would've changed long ago

[soft dock]

At least we can say that we didn't stand silent to injustice decades from now

[grizzled flax]

have u not seen the clip of a bunch of columbia students not even knowing why they were protesting

it's crazy to not call it a trend

[soft dock]

anecdotal evidence dude

[grizzled flax]

my point is that it's a trend regardless of what the extent is

[soft dock]

I still believe the majority of those protesting have the good intentions

Instead of blaming protestors who don't wanna be silent

blame the stupid institutions and police for making this violent

thas all i have to say

NOTHING has changed in Gaza

[grizzled flax]

after all these protests nothing has changed in gaza who could've thought :O

[soft dock]

So do we just sit here doing nothing?

[grizzled flax]

that's what i'm doing

[soft dock]

Not even raise awareness?

while children get bombed daily

[grizzled flax]

i don't interfere with things that have nothing to do with me

cartel kills families everyday and u don't see anybody protest about that do u

[soft dock]

This is quite literally an ethnic cleansing that's funded by US tax dollars

if it wasn't for the US's involvement, the magnitude of this genocide would be significantly smaller

[grizzled flax]

yea and there are government papers that leaked a while back showing that the cia worked with the cartel to start the drug war

fent crisis rn and nobody doing anything

the protests:

[soft dock]

Isn't this whataboutism? "What about the cartels what about this what about that" An issue is still an issue

[grizzled flax]

my point is that it's a trend

u guys pick and choose

that's not fighting for what's right that's just following a trend

[soft dock]

Not really? I've tried to raise awareness on whatever political issues I've known about

[grizzled flax]

uh huh

[soft dock]

Dude 30,000 people dying in the past few months from US tax dollars; protesting that isn't a "trend"

if you don't want to say or do anything, whatever. Why blame those who want to?

[grizzled flax]

because theyre ruining it for everyone else who's trying to live their life without getting involved with third world problems

[soft dock]

Losing your graduation party is a minor inconvenience compared to what's happening in Gaza

[grizzled flax]

go somewhere else and protest lmao

[soft dock]

💀

[grizzled flax]

don't ruin it for people who don't care

[soft dock]

"Get involved" The US is ALREADY involved

[grizzled flax]

i'm not the US

i'm me

a student

[soft dock]

you don't care about genocide nor ethnic cleansing?

[grizzled flax]

no i don't care about anything that does not affect me

[soft dock]

...

Then don't care about usc students who lose their grad

[grizzled flax]

it does affect me cuz i have family who go there lol

[soft dock]

Are they graduating this year?

[grizzled flax]

yeah 3 are

[soft dock]

well sorry i guess? Losing a graduation is still such a minor inconvenience compared to a literal ethnic cleansing

and your language about this is very concerning

[grizzled flax]

yea bro just cuz something is worse it matters more right

[soft dock]

"third world problems" do we just ignore genocide now?

does it just not matter?

[grizzled flax]

nobody gave a shit about the rwandan genocide

literally nobody

[soft dock]

do we just be selfish with our priviledge

[soft dock]

doesn't mean it was right

[grizzled flax]

my point is that it's a trend

like i said

nobody did anything about that

[soft dock]

no? This is just an emerging issue

there were many years of this conflict where no protesting happened either

[grizzled flax]

yes because that's how u become successful

[soft dock]

who protested the Nakba?

[grizzled flax]

u think the most successful people in the world rn are there because they cared about things that didn't affect them?

idk what nakba is

[soft dock]

well the protestors don't have to care about your relatives or any other USC grads

they care about an issue

they want to protest it

[grizzled flax]

yea cuz they wanna ruin everything like usual

ruining everything to fix nothing

unfortunate

[soft dock]

Sitting in silence isn't better either

[grizzled flax]

i didn't say it was

[soft dock]

Once again, blame the stupid institutions for making this bigger than it was

[grizzled flax]

don't bring others down with u who don't wanna get involved

simple as that

[soft dock]

the protesters didn't want to ruin the "graduation"

its the USC admin who removed the valedictorian and now the graduation

[grizzled flax]

yea as u can see protesting is totally helping a lot

[soft dock]

and if a college graduation is more important than the genocide of a people then reconsider your priorities

[grizzled flax]

yes it is more important because the most successful people in the world think like i do

like i said

[soft dock]

💀 You said ur Muslim right?

[grizzled flax]

do u think the most successful ppl in the world got there by caring abt things that don't affect them

?

yea

[soft dock]

Success isn't measured by this dunya but by the akhirah

[fiery cliff]

calling for the genocide of Jews at the same time protesting genocide is quite hypocritical, don’t you think?

[soft dock]

I don't get why you are so obsessed with this "success" which comes by ignoring real world problems

[soft dock]

first of all, where did they call for the genocide of jews

[lusty gyro]

who is unironically calling for the genocide of jews

[grizzled flax]

you're on a2c talking about being obsessed with success LMAO

what did u expect

???

[soft dock]

you can succeed in the dunya and the akhirah, but you shouldn't neglect ur akhirah for the dunya

also ignoring a political issue isn't boosting ur salary

[fiery cliff]

If you’re following encampments at Columbia university, it’s quite apparent with protestors rocking Hamas and Hezbollah flags and harassing Jewish students by forming a “shield”. There are always two stories, no story is any more special than the other.

[grizzled flax]

u know who's ignoring it?

the ppl who run these institutions and companies

and their salaries get higher every year

sorry but success to me is measured by getting out of poverty and climbing up salary

[lusty gyro]

that is maybe 0.001% of palestine supporters

[soft dock]

There were many reporters and etc ON the ground who have said protests were peaceful. Now, the protests have SPIRALED out of control

[grizzled flax]

i'd rather spend my time studying over protesting for something that will never change

[soft dock]

nothing with the protestors but with the police making this violent

[lusty gyro]

most people just don't want to see the conflict happening altogether

[soft dock]

you can't take video clips and use that to judge a political movement

[soft dock]

"third world problems" Akhi you think these "successful" people are getting far in the akhirah?

you can be successful while not ignoring a political issue

What about all the actors and celebs who aren't ignoring it

Mark ruafflo for example

[grizzled flax]

most celebs are on israel's side idk what you're talking abt

idk who mark buffalo is

[soft dock]

MANY aren't. The oscars had MANY celebs wearing pro palestine pins

Mark ruffalo was literally the actor for hulk

[lusty gyro]

listen im muslim too, you can protest but i think there are better ways to support palestine than on a college campus

i personally try to donate money for meals through the WFP whenever i can

[grizzled flax]

this

[soft dock]

Ok im not saying these protests are optimal. But blaming these people for the issues instead of the admin is just so stupid

[soft dock]

not u saying dis 😭 ur literally advocating ignoring the issue because "thats how you become successful" while calling it a third world issue

his take is a LOT different than yours

[grizzled flax]

yeah cuz studying for my exams over protesting on campus will make me more successful

is that hard to understand

or something

?

[soft dock]

💀 read ur messages above

ur more than anti protesting dude

[grizzled flax]

its like 1 + 1

point at them

[lusty gyro]

its messed up on both sides tbh, protests are definitely escalating things but especially canceling graduation at usc was completely uncalled for

[soft dock]

ur just saying "i dont want to get involved in these third world issues I only care about things that affect me"

[grizzled flax]

yes that's correct

[soft dock]

thats WAYYYYY different than what brother @lusty gyro said

[soft dock]

Im not even supporting these protests

[grizzled flax]

yes i personally only care about things that affect me

[soft dock]

i just dont think its right to blame them either

[soft dock]

that isn't Islam brother

[lusty gyro]

yeah well what can we do lol

[grizzled flax]

i'm not a hardcore muslim bro i just happened to be born into a family that's muslim

[soft dock]

This whole issue sucks

[grizzled flax]

idk why u keep bringing up religion bro 💀

[soft dock]

it doesn't take religion to not be selfish tho

[grizzled flax]

it's not selfish it's just me focusing on what i can control

[soft dock]

if a genocide across the world doesn't matter because it doesn't affect you, you have to reconsider ur priorities

[grizzled flax]

simple as that

[soft dock]

im not even supporting the metho dof protesting

[grizzled flax]

reconsider them for what? i've been doing fine

[soft dock]

im rather saying u cant blame them

its the admins fault for cancelling stuff

its the police's fault for being brutal

thats all

you shouldn't blame the victim of police assaults for your inconveniences

[grizzled flax]

don't put urself in bad positions then?

protesting on private land

who could've thought u would get arrested

[soft dock]

I'm pretty sure people protested many times in other conflicts on their uni without this level of violence happening to them

[grizzled flax]

that doesn't make it right it's private land

doesn't matter what they did or didn't do back then

point is that it's private land

they can do what they want with it

public is one thing

but usc is not public

[soft dock]

man these students pay 90k for their education, the usc admit can suck it

anyways

this discussions going nowhere

ima go study

[tawny violet]

🤦‍♂️

Don’t be dumb

[soft dock]

?

[tawny violet]

That’s a delusional take

[soft dock]

No it isn't

protesting against genocide doesn't warrant police assaults

[tawny violet]

There’s no genocide bruh

[soft dock]

The past 70+ years have been genocide

[tawny violet]

And protesting doesn’t mean you can harass Jewish students

[soft dock]

There are literally jewish students protesting themsleves

the JVP is a huge chunk of these protests

[tawny violet]

Does that change the harassment of Jews?

[soft dock]

No and its wrong

but discrediting the whole movement

for a small minority

is just dumb

[tawny violet]

I saying that obviously police need to be brought in and that the students doing that are the ones escalating

In a lot of cases it’s not even the students it’s outside agitators

[soft dock]

And in many cases its short youtube videos that paint the protests as aggressive

Columbia faculty themsleves have said the police response was unjustified

[wooden lodge]

oh man i love how ucla students are spreading their ucla energy through a protest

slowly transforming into berkeley

[soft dock]

The vast majority of these protestors are NOT assaulting nor harassing jewish students

you can't just ignore the JVP

[tawny violet]

The fact that it’s taking place at all warrants intervention

[soft dock]

why?

[tawny violet]

Idk how you can think they should just be left alone

[soft dock]

no like

wdym taking place

the protests?

[tawny violet]

Harassment/violence

[soft dock]

No, there should be police on stand by

but the vast majority of people getitng arrested

are they really guilty?

hundreds of people are just getting assaulted by police

[tawny violet]

I think they are

[soft dock]

There have been videos of police assaulting peaceful students

[tawny violet]

Okay let’s just stop 🤦‍♂️

[soft dock]

and also, the police completely shut down these protests, not just arrest the violent protestors

hurting many innocent students

[tawny violet]

I really just don’t think you’re living in reality

[soft dock]

what a (not) profound arguement

anyways

There have been hundreds of jewish protestors arrested

[grizzled flax]

didn't u just say videos shouldn't be representative and that they're anecdotal

[soft dock]

are they anti-semetic?

[soft dock]

Yes, but this person was indicating that police were 100% justified in their recent actions

[wanton cape]

that doesnt give them the right to do whatever they want bro

just because they pay 90k for their education doesnt mean they can do whatever they want

[grizzled flax]

most people talk in generalities and if so then he's right

unless he explicitly said all or 100% somewhere

[soft dock]

"I think they are"

he's essentially accusing all these arrested people of being anti-semetic or harrassing jewish students

when again, many students who have been arrested are literally jewish

[tawny violet]

Im not sure why you think being Jewish makes disrupting a campus totally fine

[soft dock]

Now it is approaching to where we probably disagree.

[lusty gyro]

?

[soft dock]

honestly its not worht having a political debate on a2c

I fear for my digital safety

and also i think this against the rules

[tawny violet]

Yeah ur right

[tawny violet]

?

[lusty gyro]

no genocide?

[lusty gyro]

oh

whoops

[soft dock]

yo bro, we shudn't debate this here

it's not worth

[lusty gyro]

our bad to whichever mod scrolls through this

[soft dock]

not even that

[unique plume]

i HATE that saying

genuinely

[soft dock]

sorry i had to say it

[lusty gyro]

redirecting myself to the nearest casino

[unique plume]

"rejection is redirection" still doesn't change the fact that i feel ike shit rn and really wanted to go

something more nice is like

[soft dock]

where ya headed most likely

[wooden lodge]

LETS GOOOO

[unique plume]

"they were smoking crack in the admissions office"

[wooden lodge]

I have better chances of wining the lotto than getting into stanford

[unique plume]

"they were def drunk for choosing to reject you"

[soft dock]

honestly bruh im js like "ight cuh college reject fr no cizzy cap"

[unique plume]

i committed ucsd

[soft dock]

best method

[unique plume]

Forks up

oh wait that is asu

[soft dock]

my ucsd friend says its a d1 stem school

[unique plume]

yes it' sactually the best uc for my major 💀

but like

[wooden lodge]

they def mixed me up with another student. they def yielded my ass. they hard tripping me. LET ME OUT

[unique plume]

she just moved to la go to ucla and she drive a maserati damn she got a body

[lusty gyro]

honestly same here

[soft dock]

Any junior or whatever in this server shud do this altho u shudnt be in this server

[wooden lodge]

ucsd was my dream school. prob the nicest weather, pretty library, big campus, not as big as davis, but big, great for my major, and lets goo socially dead vibes

[grizzled flax]

ucsd isn't even socially dead my friend there is balling

it's just what u make of it

sounds corny but it's true

[unique plume]

genuiinely hope it's not socially dead bro i will DIE there if it is

[soft dock]

wherever you go, im positive you will be fine : )

a college experience will always change

somedays people hate their college, somedays they like it

[wooden lodge]

for sure hopefully. tbh. ik imma have nights scrunching my hair asking why i chose my major

[lusty gyro]

im cooked bro i wont be making any friends

its ggs

[soft dock]

what major if u dont mind me askint

[wooden lodge]

true i just wish i got in

[wooden lodge]

cs/ds

[unique plume]

hope u get in fish

[soft dock]

merit based field no kizzy kap

[wooden lodge]

hope so too

[soft dock]

aint about college name as much

[unique plume]

ucsd ranking their waitlist is some goofy shit icl

[wooden lodge]

def not, but at this point, its more abt who is going where and two of my closest friends are committed there, but also idk i think ucsd cs and ds is more well developed compared to davis so id like to go there more also

[soft dock]

dw about it, rankings are heavily influenced by grad school research anyways

Davis is a very solid and great and wow institution

[wooden lodge]

true

[wooden lodge]

ya def maybe im coping but looking at coursework seems relatively similar to ucsd although i think a bit of cognitive sci courses in the ds major could be more helpful

[soft dock]

dream schools make the application process a lot worse(ESP if ur cs i mean these schools get way harder) so it gets random as heck

[wooden lodge]

ml is a tough field to grasp upon

[soft dock]

ucla cs acceptnace rate is lik2 % i think 😭

[wooden lodge]

oh ya ucla i wasnt expecting much

[soft dock]

CS majors are so unique

we are so W

[robust pike]

reminder no politics

[south apex]

apparently its just the main stage graduation and its gonna be done in smaller ticketed ceremonies but thats still super duper cooked

[unique plume]

that is some dumb shit

see if i was there personally it wouldn't be happening

[south apex]

usc admin id foing dookie rn

[unique plume]

I wouldn't let that happen tbh

i might have to get involved tbh

[south apex]

ronald reagan planted crack in black communities

[unique plume]

i wish he gave me crack

[south apex]

[unique plume]

[raven moss]

[tawny violet]

[molten coral]

[grizzled flax]

WHERE THE FUCK IS MY FINANCIAL AID

[true sparrow]

Wait but seriously how does that happen 💀

Go call the admission or something g

[lusty gyro]

Idk it asked what email to use for official correspondence

I didn’t realize that was just replacing my ucla email apparently

Wait nvm I think I’m good

[tawny violet]

Well I got 0 dollars of aid

But I was always gonna get 0 dollars

So I’m not really someone to to off of

[naive wraith]

[unique plume]

#1207795407002796142 message

[slim sparrow]

in ominous red text too

💀

[unique plume]

bro they're actually trying to be so mysterious

[slim sparrow]

yea

all schools be doing that tho

most schools

[unique plume]

my guess is portal might be preprogrammed to do it

Or they're gearing up to start releasing the waves this week

They release waves on Thursday Friday or Saturday

[slim sparrow]

damn

i’m not even waitlisted

💀

but like

[unique plume]

yeah waitlist SUCKS

[slim sparrow]

why don’t they just tell people

[unique plume]

fuck the waitlist fr

[slim sparrow]

yea i have 6 waitlists at other schools

my best friend is waitlisted here tho but he doesn’t have discord

so i’m checking for him

[unique plume]

dam i got 5 waitlists i only accepted 2 but i want to opt out of ucsb waitlist

[slim sparrow]

what waitlists

[unique plume]

I got waitlisted at ucla, ucsb, colgate, umiami, and northeastern

I opted out of all but ucsb and ucla

[slim sparrow]

i got waitlisted at cornell, cmu, nyu, ucsb, and uci

[unique plume]

I shouldn't have opted into ucsb waitlist tbh i'd pick ucsd over it

I feel bad but i'll reject offer if i get one

[slim sparrow]

ye idk why i opted into nyu and ucsb

[unique plume]

Literally only waitlist i will accept is ucla

[slim sparrow]

even uci

[unique plume]

bro uci rejected me fuck uci

[slim sparrow]

i just want cornell or cmu

😭

what major

[unique plume]

i live 20 mins away i wouldn't even take a dorm

Biology

[slim sparrow]

ahh

[unique plume]

UCI rejected me but UCSD got my back 🔥

[slim sparrow]

ucsd is hella good for bio right?

like arguably the best uc for it

[unique plume]

yes i didn't know until i got in

Yes

I'm very grateful actually

[slim sparrow]

congrats!

[unique plume]

I just like UCLA vibe better and I would have a roommate if I get off the waitlist

My friend is going to UCLA and he has no other friends going

he said if i get off waitlist we can dorm tg

idk anyone going to ucsd unfortunately

[slim sparrow]

fuck ucsd

they rejected me

[unique plume]

bro it's actually so random

[slim sparrow]

cornell wants me trust

trustttty

[unique plume]

yessir they gonna regret waitlisting you and beg for you to pull up i already know it

[slim sparrow]

yessir

fuck uc

[wooden lodge]

lol ur just like my friend

[unique plume]

deadass bro if ucsd didn't accept me i'd be looking at cc lol

i actually really liked the campus when i visited too

[wooden lodge]

hes waitlisted cmu, cornell, ucsd, uci, ucsb, uc berk, and ucla i think

[unique plume]

i liked it better than ucla campus tbh but i like ucla area better i love LA

[slim sparrow]

holy shit

[wooden lodge]

he said cc might be the route for him

[slim sparrow]

💀

[unique plume]

holy shit that sounds like a nightmare

poor guy

[slim sparrow]

waitlists are so painful

[unique plume]

RIGHT?

[slim sparrow]

there’s no closure bruh

[unique plume]

especially at a dream school

[wooden lodge]

i think he was in this server when i left idk

[slim sparrow]

like idk where i’m going anymore

[unique plume]

Like if you got rejected at least you can move on

But if you're waitlisted at your dream school

[slim sparrow]

yea

[unique plume]

it's so hard because you know that they wanted to accept you

[wooden lodge]

it still hurts

[unique plume]

but they just don't have room

[slim sparrow]

yes

[wooden lodge]

im burning all these cal and berkeley shirts

[slim sparrow]

exactly

[unique plume]

real

[slim sparrow]

ucsd rejection hurt bad for me but at least i don’t have to think about it anymore

[wooden lodge]

i just want cornell bro

[wooden lodge]

its not bad. mainly their bio, pre vet, and pre med are pretty good

theyre quite solid in those fields and agricultural studies

[slim sparrow]

what are ur other options

davis is good at most things tbh

but they aren’t exceptional at anything reallt
