[ionic bramble]

I had only 1 rejection but 4 waitlists

I’d rather have had 4 rejects 1 acceptance

[ornate plume]

I got 9 acceptances and one waitlist but then again i only applied to 3 reaches lol

[eternal thorn]

Hey ygs which ap credits does ucla usually take?

[unique plume]

https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/getting-credit-placement/search-policies

[raven moss]

I’m in bio

And also I tried to start declining

[wooden lodge]

let me out then for second choice idc

[raven moss]

And it took me fifteen minutes to find the decline button for ucsc

I am not spending fifteen mins on each school I got into 😭

[wooden lodge]

ruby will u pls for the a2c waitlisted members. i think u will be doing a service to all

as a mod, i think u should do this

[raven moss]

Too expensive ☹️

[raven moss]

This is insane

[wooden lodge]

[wooden lodge]

[lunar blade]

Yea fair

[violet pewter]

someone decline ucla so i can get off the waitlist

[unique plume]

i agree with what this guy said

[ornate plume]

I will do it as soon as I get my finaid from Berk XD

[wise saddle]

2.0???

i thought it was a 3.5 or higher + prereqs

[grizzled flax]

no thats if you’re not in the engineering college already

[jaunty spoke]

@grizzled flax yo would u mind looking at some of the specific questions I have about UCLA CS here: https://discord.com/channels/786557653924708373/1234698253451264072

I have crystallized my thoughts a lot more since I asked you the last time

[lusty gyro]

anyone know if we have to do things in june

trying to figure out if i can go to a conference in the last week

[cunning elk]

i would but they're refusing to tell me about my residency status >:(

[hollow falcon]

yall im chill with majority Bs 2nd semester right

math is in danger of a C rn tho...

[slim sparrow]

yea

even a C should be fine

[tawny violet]

Lmao I’m gonna get a C-

[tawny violet]

They outline what the requirements are

No Ds, not more than 1 C and at least a 3.0 unweighted

Although I talked to the assistant chancellor when I was at bruin day and he said they’d be chill with a D as long as you reported it

[slim sparrow]

yea they don’t actually care about any of this as long as u graduate i’m p sure

u just have to tell them

[tawny violet]

That’s basically what the assistant chancellor said

That being rescinded was essentially reserved for people who wouldn’t graduate and like people that get like convicted of a crime

[raven moss]

Don’t

They dong want anything below Bs

[unique plume]

Rescinding is tough because they're not gonna want to take back someone's acceptance who is committed and wants to pay $$ unless you really did bad

I'm sure if you communicate with them you will be fine

[ionic bramble]

Yeah I mean just be able to have a good reason and you are probably fine

But as long as you meet those minimum requirements you’re chill for sure

[ornate plume]

Did anyone get this?

[slim sparrow]

they want u so bad lol

but berk eecs is too insane to pass up

[lusty gyro]

dang they really want you

[ornate plume]

"good academic standing" is defined by a 2.0+

so basically guarenteed for all 4 years

[slim sparrow]

what major were u for ucla?

[ornate plume]

CSE

[raven moss]

If anyone is going to ucla and is a girl looking for a roommate please hit me up 😭🙏

[slim sparrow]

nice nice

[slim sparrow]

i mean it also says maintain financial aid eligibility

[ornate plume]

true. my parents make well below the threshold though so even if they get something else / a raise, shouldn't effect it

[slim sparrow]

would u choose ucla over berkeley

[ornate plume]

i like ucla

grew up here

had math comps here

but i think berkeley would probably open more doors for cs and the cost probably shouldn't be an issue since i am -1500 SAI

[slim sparrow]

but like berkeley is fucking insane

[ornate plume]

perhaps id return and become a bruin as a professor xD

[slim sparrow]

my friends brother got a 300k job straight out of berkeley

its insane

i wish i got in 😭

[ornate plume]

did he do quant?

quant is like super hot in money lolol

[slim sparrow]

im not sure actually

all ik is hes balling

[ornate plume]

but personally quant doesn't interest me much compared to AI / ML

[slim sparrow]

bro bought a porsche and a mustang within 2 years of graduating

[slim sparrow]

yeah berkeley definitely would

the start up potential is insane too

ur set bro

congrats!

[ornate plume]

the grind had just begun

[slim sparrow]

yessir

my friend is choosing berkeley eecs over stanford

like tf

[ornate plume]

was it cost?

[slim sparrow]

i think its cause of cost

yea

and both are insanely good

[ornate plume]

I know someone chose Berkeley over MIT but cost wasn't really the deciding factor

[slim sparrow]

thats valid if in state tbh

[ornate plume]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGygm62t9T4

this guy

[slim sparrow]

damn is he in state?

oh shit

ive seen that dude on yt before

[unique plume]

he looks like a berkeley/mit admit

💀

[slim sparrow]

crazy

[ornate plume]

He has the smart charisma with the way he talks, i like people like him lol

[slim sparrow]

unova did u get into any oos schools

im assuming ur instate

for ucs

[ornate plume]

I actually didn't apply to any OOS

[slim sparrow]

oh wow

so berkeley was ur top choice?

[ornate plume]

I kept my list small

I knew what I wanted

Yah

[slim sparrow]

i applied to 30 schools

💀

but i just reused essays and had fee waivers for a lot of them

[ornate plume]

oh wow xd

ppl told me it was kinda risky talking about religion

but i think what matters most is the approach?

i can dm you an excerpt

[slim sparrow]

ye dm me

[slim sparrow]

i think it is tbh

u dont know the beliefs of the people reading ur application

[ornate plume]

Nah I didn't like preach or anything

[copper garnet]

nope but was this by email?

Dam congrats

[ornate plume]

Yeah

[copper garnet]

oop name leak

[wooden lodge]

unova ucla??????

[ornate plume]

Oops XD

But yeah

Email

[wooden lodge]

i didnt even see the name lol

[ornate plume]

Boom

@copper garnet thanks for looking out bro

[tawny violet]

Acceptance requirements says you can get 1 C

[raven moss]

Ohh

[raven moss]

That’s crazy

[copper garnet]

i gotchu

[tawny violet]

Yeah it’s when you get multiple Cs or a D that you gotta start communicating with them

Or an F I guess but ur fucked if you get an F

[ornate plume]

Man I so wish that UCs match offers but they don’t 💀💀

[honest warren]

I wish UCLA wanted me like that

[tawny violet]

Fr bruh full pay sucks

[raven moss]

Makes sense

[sand plinth]

was it for eecs 🥲

[ornate plume]

Yeah

[sand plinth]

😭

nah but congrats to them tho!!

[grizzled flax]

W

[patent dock]

They don’t?😭

[cunning elk]

noooooo don't lower your standards till a2c STAY STRONG

[raven moss]

😭

[unique plume]

“how did you meet your roommate?”

“discord”

[fallen belfry]

uclawaitlist movement?????

[lunar blade]

Idts

[unique plume]

no

no movement until may 15

[wooden lodge]

lol imagine if it’s this Friday

[unique plume]

now that u said that it's def not happening

[wooden lodge]

I jinxed it for u. Now u def don’t need to worry abt it

[azure cave]

any word about the waitlist?

[wooden lodge]

none

its not coming out

[lunar blade]

I’d assume no movement until we get closer to commitment deadline

[honest warren]

someone called admissions and they said no waitlist decisions till after May 15th

[unique plume]

^

[static sand]

should i do random roommate

[grizzled flax]

i did and everything turned out fine

[ornate plume]

Nice

[grizzled flax]

going home today tho

classes move remote for the rest of the week

🙏

[eternal thorn]

what ap credits does ucla tend to take?

[alpine plaza]

just check their policy

[tawny violet]

Seems so unnecessary

[grizzled flax]

yea im scared for midterms this week

i heard they make the exams 10x harder if they're moved online

to minimize cheating or whatever

[ornate plume]

Crap

Good luck bro

[grizzled flax]

thanks man ima need it 🙏

[reef warren]

does UCLA still consider your alternate major preference if youre on the waitlist?

[unique plume]

It's very rare but it has happened where engineering primary students were admitted off waitlist as an L&S alternate

But very unlikely

[sick vector]

any waitlist movements?

[tawny violet]

I’ll list your wait 😉

[ornate plume]

Hey guys I declined ucla gl to the waitlist !

[grizzled flax]

i predict there will be movement on 5/16 or 5/17

[unique plume]

goat

[verbal glacier]

is there a gc?

[fiery cliff]

yes, would you like to be added?

[verbal glacier]

yes please

[tawny violet]

There’s a bunch of them

[naive wraith]

anyone know when the immunization forms/requirements need to be filled by

it's not today (May 15th) right
