[hardy haven]

[knotty sluice]

[rapid terrace]

[rapid terrace]

[fast kernel]

god no i have so many scheduled for that day

[knotty sluice]

i hope nothing comes out on the 22nd cuz i'll be on a plane 🐒

with no wifi

[rapid terrace]

22nd being a friday makes that a bit unlikely...

[knotty sluice]

[high dagger]

omg have fun!

[knotty sluice]

korea~

[high dagger]

oooh

[thorn escarp]

why is this not on starboard yet lmao

[thorn escarp]

[leaden ledge]

#⭐-starboard message

[scenic shore]

im going there during the summer

[maiden sundial]

anybody know what the Global Edge and Freshmen Edge email means?

did everyone get it?

[leaden ledge]

yes

it's just a promotional email

[mint crypt]

Fuck Berkeley

Berkeley trying not be a toxic gaslighter : impossible

[leaden ledge]

THEY DIDN'T SEND IT TO ME

LIKE I WANNA GO TO LONDON BRO WHAT

[mint crypt]

no

pls no

London is not the vibe u see on TikTok 😭

But probably better than Berkeley

[leaden ledge]

jokes on you i don't have tiktok

[mint crypt]

U gotta global edge and calmaxx only true brain rot applicants can apply

[mint crypt]

neither do I but u get what I mean

the uk is not hogwarts

It’s grey

The best place on earth would be isolating myself in the Mongolian mountains

far away from society

[leaden ledge]

fair

[mint crypt]

and the bill collectors

[leaden ledge]

i wanna go to Europe tho

maybe not first semester

[knotty sluice]

i want to study in europe

[mint crypt]

😭

[leaden ledge]

nah i wanna study abroad

[mint crypt]

why didn’t u apply to European countries

[knotty sluice]

too late

[mint crypt]

Not rlly

[knotty sluice]

well i did apply to usc wbb

[mint crypt]

A lot of European countries started on Jan 1st and end at June I believe

Excluding the uk

[leaden ledge]

like one semester abroad

[mint crypt]

ah

[leaden ledge]

not fully

[mint crypt]

that’s good tbh

[knotty sluice]

well i'll see my us uni results and decide whether to apply to european unis

[rapid terrace]

i just wanna travel to europe once

[mint crypt]

cuz u get to experience different places

[leaden ledge]

yeah

my stanford interviewer did study abroad at oxford

dream.

[mint crypt]

Why go to Europe when u can admire the beauty of an 8 lane highway and a Walmart right next to a CVS the pinnacle of American culture

[rapid terrace]

you right

[mint crypt]

My counsellor at my like terrible school apparently went to LSE for history

And she did a study abroad at Harvard

she said she loved it so much

[leaden ledge]

damn

[mint crypt]

Bro idk why she even came here

like people always talk about top Unis and stuff landing dream jobs but it’s not always sunshine and rainbows u can do everything but still land up somewhere u didn’t expect

she’s tryna leave tho

[leaden ledge]

yeah fair

[mint crypt]

Which is probably better cuz the school admin is so crap

And the salary is dogshit

better than the uk but still

[mint crypt]

As a teacher

Like I might have to genuinely do UPS 😂

they get paid 165k a year

Damn

[rapid terrace]

WHAT

[mint crypt]

Yeah

[rapid terrace]

A UPS DRIVER??

[mint crypt]

Yeah

[rapid terrace]

thats crazy

[mint crypt]

Fr

UPS and the Teamsters union ratified a contract in August that bumped the average pay for top-of-the-scale drivers to $49-an-hour by 2028. When including benefits, that means their pay will be around $170,000

[rapid terrace]

what makes a driver "top of the scale"

[mint crypt]

idk

😂 countering inflation

a dollar will be astronomically lower than what it’s worth today

in 2028

[high dagger]

what😭

where did u read this

[haughty grotto]

what constitutes a top-of-the-scale UPS driver

[mint crypt]

Graduating from MIT/ CMU CS

[mint crypt]

It was on the news for ages

Search it up

[thorn escarp]

guys is this a likely email?

[thorn escarp]

nevermind

[thorn escarp]

actually scrap my nevermind could it be a likely?

[leaden ledge]

afaik they only sent it to people who didn't get in💀

like they sent it to everyone who didn't get in yet

so just uh "hey if you get in please pick us!"?

[mint crypt]

it’s over for u buddy

this is a unlikely

meaning that whoever gets it

Doesn’t get in

[leaden ledge]

yeah they're sending you abroad they don't want you to come to Berkeley

[dusky laurel]

[mint crypt]

yes it’s only for true global edgers and berkeleymaxxers

[thorn escarp]

I can't tell if you are joking or not

[mint crypt]

I mean if u take this message seriously then idk what to tell u 😭

[mint crypt]

Does this sound serious

😭

[thorn escarp]

im autistic 💀

[mint crypt]

It’s just a promo email

[dusky laurel]

yes very serious

[mint crypt]

They’re so annoying

Look at this

[thorn escarp]

did you already get in?

[mint crypt]

Then why tf are they sending it if they are gonna do it for accepted students

[mint crypt]

No

[dusky laurel]

casually edging globally

could be us but u playin

Berkeley playin fr

[mint crypt]

That’s why I sent it

[mint crypt]

😭 having parasocial relationships with Berkeley is crazy

[civic bough]

Lmfao

[dusky laurel]

Sorry but if a girl was named Berkeley I feel like she’d be such a baddie

[mint crypt]

True

bro out here turning colleges into crushes

[leaden ledge]

have y'all not read college fanfics

mit x caltech

Harvard x stanford

Columbia x nyu

[mint crypt]

Caltech would be the nerdy girl who’s cute

[dusky laurel]

I asked out an OF celebrity who used to go to my school today to prom

[mint crypt]

😂 bro a2c obsessed af

[dusky laurel]

she said she hates my school but would be fine with going with me

that’s what I assume Berkeley and me would be like socially

[mint crypt]

Why do a2c users even make this

[thorn escarp]

WHERE ARE THESE

[civic bough]

This shit accurate

[leaden ledge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/k96hov/t10_schools_as_teen_movietv_archetypes/

[mint crypt]

I think 80 percent of this discord got it or maybe more

[leaden ledge]

like i said, only people who got into berkeley early didn't get the email

since Berkeley decisions come out so late, they might be trying to increase yield by making you research berkeley beforehand and stuff yk

[thorn escarp]

oh oh I didn't know you had gotten in

[mint crypt]

Berkeley is the ultimate gaslighter

[leaden ledge]

lol

[civic bough]

😂

All UCs be doing this shit

Like leave me alone unless ur accepting me

[mint crypt]

Berkeley is a toxic ex spreading rumors and causing chaos

[rapid terrace]

berk doesnt have to worry abt me not going if they admit me

[mint crypt]

😭

[civic bough]

Me either lowkey

Too expensive fuck that 😂

[leaden ledge]

ngl i wouldn't have even considered Berk if I didn't get in early so whatever they do for yield it works?

[civic bough]

I’ll go to community college 💀 they’d have to give me 30-50k/y in aid for this to even become an option and they don’t give aid so yeah prolly not

[rapid terrace]

OH i meant that ill def go to berk if i get in lol

[mint crypt]

Lmao

[civic bough]

Oh 😂

Yeah not me

Too expensive OOS

[rapid terrace]

ah yeah im in state

99% of their school is top 10% of their graduating class it said

[mental orbit]

[mint crypt]

EECS?

[rapid terrace]

yeah i hope it makes it a lil easier to get in

[rapid terrace]

[thorn escarp]

[haughty grotto]

i genuinely cant find it

[leaden ledge]

mOSTLY

[civic bough]

Doesn’t matter now

[leaden ledge]

my only reach acceptances are berkeley and usc

i mean im v grateful

[civic bough]

Why u care about acceptance rate

You already applied

[leaden ledge]

but the point is im not cracked or anything

[haughty grotto]

curious

[leaden ledge]

just a decent writer

[mint crypt]

yeah for @leaden ledge I bet harvard is a safety tbh cuz ball state is where it's at

[civic bough]

Don’t stress urself out looking for it

I mean I got into MIT EA

But idk if ima go

[leaden ledge]

didnt apply to harvard

[mint crypt]

[mint crypt]

Oh...

[leaden ledge]

i didnt apply to ball state either

rip

[mint crypt]

smh

[mint crypt]

if ur colleges were in an edit 😭 which ones would go the hardest

[leaden ledge]

usc

usc is so fiiiiiiiiiiiiine

[civic bough]

Nah

USC is all the rich mfers

[mint crypt]

it won't be harder than berkeley bruh

aint no way

[civic bough]

They would have a shit personality

[mint crypt]

berk got like 6 or 8 elements named by them

on the periodic table

if that ain't hard idk what is

[civic bough]

They got a white Porsche not a black one 😭 what will they do

[leaden ledge]

ok but we're talking about who's more fine

fine isn't about personality

uc berk is probably the most nerdiest but def not fine

[civic bough]

Yes it is

[mint crypt]

i think the last two ones were actually fake and fabricated by this guy but they removed him

[civic bough]

USC is mid cause the shit personality

Okay okay

[leaden ledge]

i was watching a pros and cons video about berkeley and they literally said as a pro that nobody at berkeley cares about looks or body image and stuff (because they're all ugly af)

[mint crypt]

wait nvm guys Over the next several decades they were credited with discovering 16 elements, including every element from neptunium (element 93) to seaborgium (106).

[knotty sluice]

bruh tf

[mint crypt]

but I think fully by berkeley 8

[leaden ledge]

im not ugly af but yeah there are obvious outliers

[leaden ledge]

my god

insane

[civic bough]

Berkeley is like #2 in grad school research 😂

They are an amazing school

[leaden ledge]

look we're talking about being fine

[mint crypt]

can even drop a los alamos project edit for berkeley

[leaden ledge]

berkeley is amazing and stuff but if colleges were models, usc would be the clear winner

[civic bough]

You can have the looks and smell like absolute shit

[civic bough]

No

[mint crypt]

lmao

[mint crypt]

no

[civic bough]

Their personality is dog shit

Like they’ve never genuinely been happy

They are never satisfied

And they’ve got a fucked up nose

[leaden ledge]

?????

what do you got against usc's nose

[civic bough]

Sorry I’m projecting rn

Only reason ik caltech and Berkeley is from the Big Bang theory

[brave basin]

nuclear eng??

[mint crypt]

fr fr because u don't do EECS

[mint crypt]

I mean that's a good candidat

[leaden ledge]

[mint crypt]

EE is like the worst level of smell

[civic bough]

All wars we do are Chinese

[obtuse kayak]

0.8?

[mint crypt]

chinese gamers can specialise in games so much they become the best

or are geniunely terrible and still play it

there's no in between

my friend told me the gaming industry there can make u rich af

[civic bough]

Lol

Yeah

I was on the phone with a dude from Singapore yesterday

And he said the Chinese gaming market is rlly lucrative cause ppl spend so much

Like the amount spent per player on avg is way higher than US

[mint crypt]

yeah like genshin impact we know of doesn't make much to mihoyo in china

but the chinese version

makes them more

[civic bough]

Oh yeah

Clash of clans has a Chinese specific version tho

[mint crypt]

that's why they don't care about their international fanbase lmao

[civic bough]

But they still play the US version

[mental orbit]

Lol

We’re #4 rn

[mental orbit]

[granite hornet]

hey dont bring the rest of us into it

my nose is appropriately moderate, as befitting a gentleman of society

[mental orbit]

my nose can’t be that bad i’m just overly conscious about it

[leaden ledge]

wait brb

ok yeah you're exaggerating

it's normal sized

[granite hornet]

what did you go check for that info

[leaden ledge]

[granite hornet]

!ucb

[knotty sluice]

probs 3/28

[naive tiger]

confirmed*

[high dagger]

omg yay

[knotty sluice]

22 more days I CANNOT WAIT

well it's most likely a rejection but i want to confirm my failure

[ancient cairn]

does cal care if i don't take a dual enrollment class (specifically spanish 3) even though i said i would? i just got ability to enroll and the class and its waitlist is completely full

ive taken like 4 DEs related to my major senior year already

[scenic shore]

confused as to what ur saying. so u put on ur uc app that u were gunna take

DE

but now u withdrew out of it?

[ancient cairn]

yeah i said planned spanish 3 at my local community college for the spring quarter (starts in april) but its impossible for me to enroll now

cause waitlist is full

[haughty grotto]

how does berkeley judge applicants?

[ancient cairn]

its not like i withdrew i intended to sign up but i can't because DE students get least priority

and it happens for some reason the class is super popular this quarter

[scenic shore]

uh i genuiely think u should call them abt this if u are already accepted. this could be considered lying and honestly id report this asap

[ancient cairn]

ok nvm i looked it up and seems like ppl have had much worse transgressions when it comes to not taking DE classes and berkeley did not care as long as they sent in the update form

[scenic shore]

even still just to show that u care i would but thats just me. i just wouldnt risk it u know

[ancient cairn]

the update form isn't open yet so i can't do anything

[scenic shore]

u can email individually to ur respective counselor or call, but ill be real prob doesnt really matter too much, but the thing is its always good to be safe u know

lol maybe thats why i spammed the ucs a lot for my academic report issue

[leaden ledge]

Search UC 13 points of comprehensive review

[swift kindle]

Interesting perspective on MET: https://www.reddit.com/r/stanford/comments/12a1eag/comment/jeucwr9/

What are your thoughts?

[naive tiger]

That’s really cool, basically my thoughts on r&c benefits at Berkeley vs comparable schools

just toured cal for the day and had my interview + met with friends there, the imposter syndrome thing checks out

[swift kindle]

Haha how so?

[naive tiger]

seems like everyone is super competitive and my friend there said it’s really hard to know you’re doing enough (ish) or more so to keep yourself motivated

that and he said pretty much everyone is busy and stressed but all working towards their goals

[round ferry]

maybe take it online at another cc?

[ancient cairn]

lol ive been searching all week the one ive found that is acutally open is in person and starts 5 minutes after my school ends (and takes 20 min to get there)

im assuming it is fine it isn't related at all to my major and worst case ill go take my full ride at uva

[naive tiger]

is it ok if i email my interviewer from yesterday's regents interview to say thanks?

[quartz thorn]

its totally okay just make sure it sounds professional

[quasi blade]

met is out right

[leaden ledge]

Yeah Feb 9

[knotty sluice]

gmp out?

[leaden ledge]

what's gmp

[knotty sluice]

global management program

[quasi blade]

Man

[leaden ledge]

I wish berkeley sent promotional emails to admitted students

im getting so many emails from Wisconsin Madison and it's so tempting i swear

[mint crypt]

berk rlly be rationing their emailing costs

[leaden ledge]

[naive tiger]

r&c emails go crazy though 😭

[obtuse kayak]

right

[river sparrow]

o

yeah

[leaden ledge]

damn what kinda stuff do they send

[knotty sluice]

IU has sent 10+ congrats emails alr lmao

[naive tiger]

not rlly lol, just reminders about ROHP and interviews

[zealous jolt]

ucm and ucr moment 😔

[leaden ledge]

oh😭

i don't mean congrats emails i mean stuff like info about clubs/student life or like uw-m sends me testimonials from people in my major so yk stuff like that is v helpful

[naive tiger]

real yeah ://

visiting taught me a lot more than random emails

[river sparrow]

Mm

Yeah

[leaden ledge]

i can't visit im international :((((

[slow acorn]

16a intl with regular yet to come?
Impressive. Congrats

[gilded coral]

i'm only 5A 2D 1R myself

[rapid terrace]

20 more days till berk rahhhh

[mint crypt]

Fr only for UCI to waitlist 💀

They broke ur streak @leaden ledge

would u like to terminate Irvine?

[fair crater]

we about to get to the spicy questions territory ❤️‍🔥

[leaden ledge]

thanks!

[leaden ledge]

nah i love uci

it's ok still not a rejection

uchicago gonna be my first rejection fr

[mint crypt]

I’m UCI’s biggest opp

[rapid terrace]

same as of 5 pm

[mint crypt]

I honestly couldn’t care less about UCI lol but they just ruined my acceptance streak

I got rejected even tho I got into cough cough a top uk one u can guess there are only two

[mental orbit]

YOURE A MOD NOW 😭😭😭😭

[leaden ledge]

🤭 🤭 🤭

my green era is truly the biggest dub of today for me

[mental orbit]

bro did uci wl u?

[leaden ledge]

YEAH

LOL

[mental orbit]

BRUHHH

[leaden ledge]

still love them but like. ouch.

[mental orbit]

i’m uci/uiuc bound rn

it was so brutal this year

uci wl almost all my friends from cs, ds, engineering

[leaden ledge]

omg W

is uci better than davis for eng?

[leaden ledge]

damn

[brave basin]

I got uci for information and computer sciences but undeclared

and have no clue how that works

but we ball

[nimble torrent]

they’re like the same

[mental orbit]

it’s closer to me and it’s in a nice place so i kinda see them as the same

i know a couple people doing a usc transfer from uci too so that’s dope

[leaden ledge]

W

i love uci because its so close to disneyland

my 7th grade self's dream was to part time job at disneyland

[scenic shore]

In terms of ranking very similar. Tbh I think location is what truly separates them

[leaden ledge]

yeah valid

[mental orbit]

i rock with uci heavy

[haughty grotto]

Exactly

They fucked up my 100% UC acceptance rate

[rapid terrace]

ong i expected it to be ucla not uci 😭😭😭

[haughty grotto]

i mean i wouldnt say i expected to get into uci

but could they not give me more than 2 hours of getting into a T30 and celebrating/salivating?

they my biggest opp fr

[scenic shore]

Ngl my standards were a bit too high I think: I thought I would get in or waitlisted ngl. So pretty heartbroken but very humbling

Experience

[haughty grotto]

i thought id get rejected for sure

cause the way they judge applicants, i knew i didnt have a shot

davis i figured maybe cause theyre very holistic

[nimble torrent]

how do they judge applicants

uci

[haughty grotto]

from what i heard from my counselors

gpa + how did you prepare for your major

[nimble torrent]

Ahhh

[haughty grotto]

on the flip side i heard that davis considered the rest of the app very largely

im a dude with a decent but uncompetitive gpa and hella extenuating circumstances so i figured that UCI and UCLA would dick me till kingdom come

[scenic shore]

I didn’t even know how they judged applicants

My friend with the same stats got into mech Eng for uci

But I applied data sci for uci and got rejected

So major def has a huge play

[jade void]

Bro how did you not get a single rejection yet

That’s ac insane

[haughty grotto]

probably

i applied for bio sciences and didnt make it

[haughty grotto]

damn

irvine really takes no prisoners fr

they be doin whatever whenever

[rapid terrace]

facts the decisions were so wack at my school

like the ppl who haven’t been getting in anywhere suddenly got into uci

but the ppl who have been getting into other places got wl/rej at uci

[fast kernel]

beyond a certain point its genuinely luck

[haughty grotto]

yeah

i was 0.01 gpa points above uc davis' 25th percentile

somehow made it

but ik way better students who didnt

i legit dont even know what to say about it

[scenic shore]

i was below gpa for my schools davis acceptance so i was quite shocked abt the acceptance

[haughty grotto]

same bro

i was prob the least qualified uc davis admit from my school

the cutoff was me

https://tenor.com/view/ripbozo-packwatch-rip-bozo-pack-watch-smoking-smoke-gif-25173473

im cut from a different cloth

[civic bough]

We had no UC Davis admits

Cause no one here applies

XD

[scenic shore]

lol same.

[haughty grotto]

anyways its time for us to clear our remaining UCs

besides LA

[scenic shore]

Yes sir. UCSD and Berkeley baby lol

[haughty grotto]

yes indeed

we are getting SD muir and berkeley

[scenic shore]

Let’s goo

[grand kraken]

this is where the sweats go

hopefully berkeley realizes im sweaty

https://tenor.com/view/sweats-gif-25346666

[leaden ledge]

SAME

[leaden ledge]

tbh idk my dad seems to think it's because i haven't pushed myself enough😭😭😭 like i literally cannot reach higher lol

[haughty grotto]

All my bros hate on Irvine fr

[leaden ledge]

i still love UCI </3

[scenic shore]

I’m hating even more after they let some cheaters slide in

[austere mango]

fuck UCI

zot zot zot my ass

[scenic shore]

Fr

[jade void]

wait what were ur reaches other than berk?

[gilded coral]

some people just built diff

[haughty grotto]

Who in their right mind has an anteater as their mascot fr

zot zot zot hell nah im catching zzzs if i ever appear on campus that shit boring af

[hushed copper]

best pray i don't catch that anteater lacking

[haughty grotto]

[haughty grotto]

[haughty grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/roberto-carlos-gif-7700826

(i do not condone animal abuse)

[hushed copper]

me neither i love anteaters

[haughty grotto]

yeah the animal fine but fuck irvine

[hushed copper]

i wont be surprised if irvines oos is double instate

[leaden ledge]

for ea USC, Georgetown, uchicago and Berk obv but that's not ea
USC i got in but Georgetown uchicago defer

[haughty grotto]

man what in the hell was irvine thinking?

[jade void]

Damnnn

[leaden ledge]

did you see the people who got waitlisted tho😭

Columbia likely, ellie, oats

[haughty grotto]

idk what to say atp

[leaden ledge]

irvine was probably the only t30 i would've chosen over Berkeley

but now that i got waitlisted

t15 or bust 🔥

[haughty grotto]

atp my top 2 choices are cal and NU

[leaden ledge]

LMAO I JUST REALISED irvine was the only UC that asked about legacy and it's coincidentally the only UC i have legacy at and i got wl😭 my cousin's gonna be so disappointed fr

[haughty grotto]

💀

[leaden ledge]

LOL i found my old a2c intro post from sophomore year and those two were my exact top choices lol

[haughty grotto]

theyre pretty cool schools fr

and you did make it to one

[scenic shore]

you will be surprised to hear two other berk regent invited students got rejected or waitlisted by uci

[haughty grotto]

i hope this irvine rejection is a sign of good things to come but it probably wont be

[gilded coral]

just win the lottery fr

[haughty grotto]

my remaining schools are all under 40% acceptance rates

[jaunty linden]

mine are under 20

no chance 😔

[haughty grotto]

rip

[jaunty linden]

yea ive resigned myself to my fate

its joever

[gilded coral]

+1

[leaden ledge]

yeah at the time my top majors were psychology/English/journalism and cal is top for English and psych and nu is top for journalism so

[leaden ledge]

I KNOW i was thinking how I've come full circle 🥹

[haughty grotto]

massive congratulations indeed

[leaden ledge]

tbh im not that surprised looking at the trend😭

[leaden ledge]

thank you <3

[slow acorn]

mine are all under 5%

applied to only t20s and pulled it off!!!

[rapid terrace]

daaaamn every school you applied to is a t20??

[leaden ledge]

they're international so it makes sense

[slow acorn]

for cs yeah
I dont think u wash is a t20, but other than that all are t20 as well yes

barely pulled it off

[rapid terrace]

oh didn’t see the international 💀💀

[rapid terrace]

ah

[slow acorn]

us citizen though
dont know how it plays in admissions

[leaden ledge]

UW is a T20 for cs tho so lol

[leaden ledge]

yeah i figured, it definitely helps more than being intl

how are your results so far?

[slow acorn]

accepte to purdue, deferred from mit, rejected from uiuc and gatech
waiting for ucb la sd, u wash, cmu, cornell

as I said, barely pulled it off 💀

[leaden ledge]

damn purdue cs is great tho, congrats!!

[slow acorn]

indeed, thanks!

[leaden ledge]

gl for mit decisions

[slow acorn]

I am so gettin in

all depends on my afrotc scholarship tbh

heard that sometimes helps in tipping the balance

[nocturne sleet]

cal said to admit only 100 cs this year?

[rapid terrace]

whered you get that info

[nocturne sleet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/berkeley/comments/10whlvh/number_of_admitted_cs_majors_shrunk_from_561_to/

[rapid terrace]

idt theres an actual cap of 100 cs majors

but its def low

[nocturne sleet]

its joever for me

[rapid terrace]

hopefully the formation of the new college can increase the # of cs seats a bit

[nocturne sleet]

yeah

peopl;e be applying ls cs to backdoor

but i just wanna have some humanities 😭

[strong dagger]

how much is eecs?

[rapid terrace]

someone posted earlier that eecs admitted 468 out of 11571 applicants in 2023

[mental orbit]

bro i just want to do electrical engineering and im lumped in with the smelly sweaty cs majors in eecs

[knotty sluice]

how abt for business admin?

[finite badger]

!berk

[leaden ledge]

March 28th

[finite badger]

ah ty

[willow pine]

i’m withdrawaling atp

[stiff oasis]

but if you apply to L&S CS dont you get in first for undeclared or something like that

oh shit

that is L&S

[fallen oxide]

new policy change a year ago, cs you apply for direct admission now

[fallen oxide]

i wonder what the yield rate on that is

[modern blade]

ye u get gauranteed ur major now

3.3 gambit is no more

[fallen oxide]

i don't think you apply directly for business as a freshman unless you're met or gmp, which is like very very low acceptance rate

[modern blade]

isnt it below 1%

[fallen oxide]

i wonder if the 2% acceptance rates for cs will stay constant or if they'll accept more

[modern blade]

im gonna assume the 2% was a lower extreme

i think itll jump up to 4%

[fallen oxide]

well acceptance rate is just a function of how many apply

i'm just wondering if they're gonna accept more than 160

[knotty sluice]

what does undergrad at haas mean?

i spend two years at ucb and the other two at haas?

[fallen oxide]

i don't know much about berkeley business

but i thought you don't go in as business unless its gmp or met?

i havent seen that undergraduate business program thing before

my guess is you just get into L&S and you can apply for business later? no idea though

[modern blade]

no not anymore

its four years at haas now

[fallen oxide]

that was a new change right

for fall 2024

[modern blade]

yeah

[fallen oxide]

if you don't get gmp do they consider alternate majors

i know you still get considered for engineering if no MET

[modern blade]

is gmp a separate app like met is?

if ur alt is business no

if ur alt is LnS yes

[knotty sluice]

yo that's nice

shouldn't have applied gmp lol

[rapid terrace]

isnt gmp acceptance rate like 1.7% 💀

[knotty sluice]

1.6%

and i think i didn't get in

[rapid terrace]

rip even lower than cs

[knotty sluice]

yea i ended up choosing the majors with the worst acceptance rates from every uni

[rapid terrace]

oh 😭😭

my school had 2 ppl get into gmp last year which is alr 4% of the gmp admits 💀

[knotty sluice]

our school has like 1-2 berkeley admits in our 60+ year history

❤️

[unique gulch]

wtf

[rapid terrace]

wtf 😭 im assuming youre not in state

[knotty sluice]

international 🥰

[rapid terrace]

ah

[modern blade]

my socal cali hs had 32 berkeley admits last year

[rapid terrace]

yeah mine usually has around 25-30 admits every year

[knotty sluice]

damn should've transferred there

[modern blade]

but tbf my school is insane so that 32 is honestly too low considering how many crazy students we have

[knotty sluice]

our graduating class only has 38 people total lol

[rapid terrace]

oh damn

is your entire graduating class in like the same classes?

[knotty sluice]

two classes

we're a tiny priv catholic school

[rapid terrace]

ohhh

[knotty sluice]

heh

[random parrot]

[naive tiger]

yep 😭 good luck!

[random parrot]

TYY U TOOO

[naive tiger]

oh uh i got in 😭 but yes hyped for ivy day

[mint crypt]

This scandal made its way into our books 💀

[weak bane]

15 days

[ancient cairn]

Love how you are putting this in berkley chat

[mint crypt]

Gotta love Berkeley

The only uni that had discovered/ kinda created 18 elements in the periodic table

but this guy ninov ruined the rep for everybody till element 118 was later discovered again but in a different series of reactions

[mint crypt]

Basically Berkeley hired a guy, Ninov who wrote the software for the accelerator itself and basically no one knew he was faking the numbers and series of reactions until dozens of scientists in other labs tried to recreate it but to no avail

[next schooner]

LMAOOO that's an interesting story

[scenic shore]

Please Berkeley

I’m begging

[floral sorrel]

GOOD LUCK, YOU GOT THIS!!

[scenic shore]

Is Berkeley the most holistic

[mint crypt]

maybe

but EECS 💀

is a bloodbath

[haughty grotto]

Are you on your knees?

if so you have made your biggest mistake

Gift your knees to Berkeley

In exchange for admission

[river sluice]

both knees 1 kidney and 1/4 of your liver

[mint crypt]

Bro selling his soul

[scenic shore]

U think it’s Joe over bro

[vapid junco]

Anyone been to ROHP

[prime wraith]

what is that

[floral sorrel]

Yeah

[floral sorrel]

Regents overnight host program, for admitted students that received an invitation to interview for the regents & chancellor scholarship. We spend a night at Berkeley, going on tours and seeing what Berkeley has to offer

[swift kindle]

Is this different from the MET overnight stay?

[floral sorrel]

Yes, the rohp consists of all majors

[swift kindle]

What day is this?

April 12th?

[floral sorrel]

There are multiple days for it, leme send you their Instagram so you can check

[lofty fiber]

What’s the percentage of getting accepted into ucb if I got waitlisted at ucsd?

[brave basin]

doubt theres specific statistics

[floral sorrel]

each uc look for different things, so it's likely impossible to know

[charred magnet]

i got waitlisted at uci and ucd and got into both ucla and ucb last yr

[brave basin]

damn

[floral sorrel]

DANNG

W

[twilit atlas]

[scenic shore]

How abt ucsd

[floral sorrel]

[steel quartz]

Data sci I’m beyond cooked

[lofty fiber]
