[wooden sorrel]

See why did everyone else get hopeful and mystic shit, mine told me I was going to court 😭😭😭😭

[rigid scaffold]

(i predicted a rejection for ucb LMAO)

[rigid scaffold]

the really cool thing about astrology is if you don't like what it says, you can just go onto a different site!

because that's totally scientific and accurate

[coarse echo]

does this count as mutable astrology (i'm just tryna be goofy)

[wooden sorrel]

LOLL yes let me find one that says I will experience academic achievement tmrw

[full drift]

Pls berkeley let me in ty jazakallah

[hardy haven]

[rigid scaffold]

💥💥

[coarse echo]

i hate slowmode D: time to go to bed for real being on here night before is not healthy

[rigid scaffold]

🤩 I VISUALISE GETTING INTO ALL THE IVIES I APPLIED TO (...and managing my tuition...)

[jade yacht]

nah we get in anyways. i believe

[hardy haven]

id like to transfer into the Cancer department

i hate being a saggitarius

[rigid scaffold]

if you complete two years at an accredited cosmic college we will guarantee your transfer

[hardy haven]

im going to harvard for a degree in zodiac signs bye 💀

[rigid scaffold]

[burnt remnant]

Guys is the portal trick for Berkeley bs

[left sage]

Unfortunately/Fortunately, no

[stone root]

what is uc berkeley

[harsh flicker]

I mean, i've heard that some applicants get their information put in like right before

so there's still hope

[visual walrus]

I got in early and the “admitted” thing works for me

But idk how it really works

[harsh flicker]

it's just berkeley's management of the backend being sucky af

[obtuse haven]

Did early admits get an email acceptance or a portal acceptance

[zealous river]

yo

[languid plank]

[rapid terrace]

go on college confidential dont ask here 😭

not allowed to talk abt portal astro here

[finite badger]

its berk dayyyy

[random parrot]

is getting into berk a good sign someone can pull 1 ivy at least?

[zealous river]

oh sorry i will remove message

[rapid terrace]

not in cali 😭😭😭

[rapid terrace]

uhhh its all independent lmao

[finite badger]

lmao

[random parrot]

dang alr lol

whats the ar of ucb

accurately cuz google sometimes says 19 20 or 10 so idk

[rare igloo]

its around 9% or so i think but it also really depends on major

[sour root]

I'd say yes generally. If you had to bet on someone getting into one ivy:one who got into top programs already vs one who didn't, the odds favor the one who did

Yes it's independent but in general they're doing something right

[runic dagger]

Or go to me, I can do luck astrology

[lean cradle]

what time do decisions release

[main hamlet]

Around 3 PST tmr

[lean cradle]

[runic dagger]

They force you to do independent work and a senior thesis which is amazing for your resume even if you want to do grad school/jobs after you graduate

[leaden ledge]

omg same

[fair horizon]

Oh do they?

[runic dagger]

• it’s easier to go to grad school to the same school you went to for undergrad

[runic dagger]

Ummm…idk if I want to go to Stanford anymore

[ancient cairn]

berkeley 5th yr ms eecs is hard asf lmao

[runic dagger]

Yea but think about your resume

[ancient cairn]

need like 3.9+ and goated research to compete w the other eecs/cs kids

[leaden ledge]

omg i get to go to stanford AND not deal with you? W

[runic dagger]

That independent work and senior thesis will help it hella cause you need it to graduate

[runic dagger]

💀

[runic dagger]

Yes

[ancient cairn]

yea but idt i needa do an ms

[broken grail]

😭😭😭

How do we open Ivy decisions what order

[ancient cairn]

so many interesting paths idk what i want to do

[runic dagger]

If you want to go into cs, you’ll prolly have to do ai, which you’ll need a masters to be competitive in

[broken grail]

Guaranteed no’s first?

[ancient cairn]

yea idk

[broken grail]

Or spinning the wheel

[ancient cairn]

im gonna grind in ugrad anyways

[runic dagger]

[broken grail]

Oops!

What do you suggest luck

[runic dagger]

I’m waiting…

[runic dagger]

Penn first

[broken grail]

😭

Honestly yeah

Penn first

Then Harv (r), yale (r), brown (?), dart (?)

[runic dagger]

Ye

@broken grail

Actually

Go other way around

Dartmouth, brown, Yale, Harvard, Penn

Least exciting —> most

[broken grail]

Yale and Harv would be first then

[runic dagger]

Oh then yea

[broken grail]

I’ll ask my mom what she thinks

[runic dagger]

Ok

[limber ore]

I think I'll do least exciting to most exciting

Duke -> Berk -> Harvard -> Penn -> Darty -> Brown -> Princeton -> Yale

Yale most exciting cuz they have an acceptance video

[feral veldt]

hm

does anyone know the time?

[broken grail]

Yale is least exciting for me and I didn’t do pton but I’ll keep that in mind

[obtuse kayak]

is berkeley that wanted

😭

[viral dome]

is it gna be like the other ucs and come around 3-4pst?

[limber ore]

ahh I see

What's most exciting for you

[limber ore]

3:30 seems to be the consensus

[haughty grotto]

1pm nyu rejection to bring me down

3:30pm berk acceptance to shoot me up

ez

[obtuse kayak]

3:30 is crazy

3:30 regents and then 4:00 ivy’s

😭😭😭😭

[haughty grotto]

[obtuse kayak]

[haughty grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/kirby-i-forgot-i-forgor-gif-22449575

[leaden ledge]

No that'd just build up anticipation

Do penn first @broken grail

If you get in nothing else matters

If you don't well at least it's over

[runic dagger]

Duhh that’s the point genius

[leaden ledge]

(if it's a rejection it'd hurt more)

if it's an acceptance obviously it'd be worth it

but

[runic dagger]

She alr got ucla + UCI honors college that she is happy with going

Ivies are just an added bonus

[leaden ledge]

true but penn is the lohl

[runic dagger]

Bruh every single time I type, I just see bertha lurking and “bertha is typing”

But she never types

Prolly scared of me

[leaden ledge]

shy*

she has to pick the right words around you🌻🌻

[runic dagger]

Nah, I exert super scary forces

[runic dagger]

Bro 💀

[runic dagger]

🤖🤖🤖

[full spear]

Why does decision dates say berkleky is releasing in 30 mins

When is it out

[pallid monolith]

Berkeley is currently out as “all day “in decision datesc so it was 11:30 pm in PST and the bot said in 30 minutes it’s the 28th

[full spear]

Like date (est? pst? CT?)

American timezones 😭

[full spear]

Thank you so much Bertha 👑

So 11:30 PST, 28th. Thanks

[pallid monolith]

No

We don’t know when Berkeley is coming out

[full spear]

29th?

[pallid monolith]

It’s coming out 28th

Time is unknown

[full spear]

28th like pst id assume

[pallid monolith]

The bot is acting like Berkeley is releasing all day, and in 30 minutes it would’ve been the 28th In PST

it doesn’t actually mean anything

[full spear]

Got it.

[leaden ledge]

nah you're a tiny cutie patootie who tries to be mean but in reality is like a hamster

[runic dagger]

????

[leaden ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-hamster-gif-17488449825504852668

[runic dagger]

You’re wrong

[leaden ledge]

[naive ridge]

i hate being international and all decisions come out in the night

[naive ridge]

oh thank you!!

[wanton timber]

omg 19A as an international as well?? big ups

[naive ridge]

nonononon i am US citizen living abroad 19A international would be willddddd

[wanton timber]

yeah I was gonna say lmao

19A as an intl would be an insane statistic

still 19A even as a citizen is huge

no rejections

[naive ridge]

i have been excessively lucky for some reason....

the hard part is deciding where i will attend ....

[wanton timber]

damn, smart people problems

I only got one choice atm and that's my goat uoft

[naive ridge]

thats still absolutely fire hello

maybe UCB will be rejection #1 im feeling it

[wanton timber]

tbf uoft has a 40% acceptance rate but yeah it is pretty strong

[leaden ledge]

REAL

[wanton timber]

break the steeak

[naive ridge]

ha ha ... ha TT my sleep is dying

[leaden ledge]

also real💀

nu and vandy are excellent options though!

[wanton timber]

damn all the geniuses in the chat

[leaden ledge]

nu better but im biased

[tropic mauve]

y’all idk how I’m gonna fall asleep

it’s like 3am

[leaden ledge]

fr i stayed up till 2 for nu and it came out like 15 minutes after i slept😭

[tropic mauve]

I need that sims 3x speed for time so bad rn

[old igloo]

Same

[wanton timber]

melatonin or melanin, whichever one is the sleepy one

[naive ridge]

yes! i got CV for vandy so it would be pretty much free :3 but NU is better for engineering

[tropic mauve]

melatonin lmaooo

[wanton timber]

I always mix those two up

[naive ridge]

i replied to the wrong thing yay

my discord skills are in the gutter

[leaden ledge]

omgggg definitely go to vandy then, going to a top uni for free is the dream

[tropic mauve]

best part is my friends call me both of those as nicknames

[leaden ledge]

melanin is the skin one lol

[wanton timber]

no way its THE melanin

[tropic mauve]

vandy slays but like

[tropic mauve]

They need better marketing

I didn’t apply there

[naive ridge]

fr they do

[leaden ledge]

lol yeah i didn't know they existed until a2c

[tropic mauve]

But they sent me liek marketing mail

And it looks so depressing

[wanton timber]

when I was younger I always mixed them up cuz "oh mela tone in, must be about skin tone". now I know a little better but still

[leaden ledge]

💀💀💀

[leaden ledge]

oh lol valid actually

[tropic mauve]

My mom saw one of them and she’s like it looks like a funeral home ad or smthn

[naive ridge]

AAAAA

ok TT

[wanton timber]

yeah as an intl I'd never heard of vandy

[leaden ledge]

poor lexi

[tropic mauve]

Made even funnier by the fact that I do not posses melanin

[leaden ledge]

both are great though

no wrong choices!

[naive ridge]

or i have gtech for free too with stamps GUYS HELP

[leaden ledge]

💀💀💀💀

[naive ridge]

hm

[leaden ledge]

nah I'd go to vandy/nu over gtech

[wanton timber]

I own all the melanin (I'm just really tan from the constant sun)

[tropic mauve]

omggg damn that’s so epic for u

[leaden ledge]

nothing against gtech but when you have a private and public for the same cost id choose private

[tropic mauve]

you’ll slay wherever u choose tho

[tropic mauve]

true

[leaden ledge]

^

[naive ridge]

i like nu so pretty the campus but so expensive

[leaden ledge]

true

purple <3

[tropic mauve]

what’s ur major?

[leaden ledge]

but black and gold <3

[tropic mauve]

orple

[naive ridge]

chemical or materials engineering

[tropic mauve]

slayyy

[leaden ledge]

Berkeley has a college of chemistry

i 🫶 cal

[tropic mauve]

I always mix up nu and neu

[tropic mauve]

pls berk let me in (Chem major)

[wanton timber]

berkeley has like the best chemistry department in the US right?

[naive ridge]

nooo nu is the better oneeee

[wanton timber]

they made like all the new chemicals and shit

[leaden ledge]

They have an element

[tropic mauve]

didn’t apply to either

[wanton timber]

yeah but they discovered like 10 of em right?

one is just named after them

[tropic mauve]

yuh cause they were part of the “race for the periodic table” with duma (russia) and later riken (japan)

But the element discovery isn’t rlly Chem

It’s actually more physics

[wanton timber]

oh

so the strongest physics department then?

[naive ridge]

i thought 16

elements

[wanton timber]

yeah just looked it up, 16 you're right

[naive ridge]

YAAA memory skilllz

[tropic mauve]

and they had a scandal later on that basically led to them not discovering 116 & 118

plus idk how much of that still carries weight now

But it’s berk

[tribal lava]

Yes you’re right it’s 16

[tropic mauve]

So ofc they’re good at physics etc

[wanton timber]

kinda wild they discovered plutonium

[tropic mauve]

Fun fact seaborgium is one of 2? (Or the only (can’t rember) )elements named after a person who was still alive when they were discovered

Seaborgium was named after Glenn Seaborg who himself led the discovery of like 10 elements

[wanton timber]

I found fermium is named after Enrico Fermi who died in 54

[wanton timber]

oh sick, def deserved

fitting for a last element as well

[tropic mauve]

yeah I think the other one is Oganesson

named after a Russian physicist

[tropic mauve]

Th only person who has an element named after them who is alive today

[tropic mauve]

Yep but it wasn’t officially named until after fermi died

So that’s 2 elements named after people not post humously

[wanton timber]

damn what assholes

[naive ridge]

wauwuwuwuwu so cool

[tropic mauve]

Fun stuff I think having an element named after you would be the ultimate flex

[wanton timber]

waited till the man died to name it, couldn't even let him live happy with having an element for the last 2 years of his life

[tropic mauve]

Nah it was just the time to register it etc + Cold War so they were very secretive about announcing elements etc cause it was nuclear related

[wanton timber]

tbh I don't want berk anymore, how dare they smh

[tropic mauve]

lol

[robust marten]

what time did decisions release last year

[red leaf]

Hey gang I’m cooked

[red leaf]

People saying 3:30 ist

Am

[robust marten]

what time zone

[red leaf]

3:30 am Indian standard time

That’s what some Indians in general told me

[robust marten]

so um 6pm est and 3pm pst

[leaden ledge]

18 i think

[leaden ledge]

Oh oops

[leaden ledge]

Oh that's why i remembered 18

[leaden ledge]

Yeah that's when i got it i think

[smoky ravine]

i think you count californium too

[wanton timber]

yeah they discovered californium

116 and 118 were the ones they didnt discover

[sleek lantern]

🙏 <t:1711663200:R>

[slow acorn]

We have exact time for ucb?

Why is it acting like a kid trying to be a ivy kid 💀

[leaden ledge]

[broken grail]

Penn

[floral sorrel]

Does anyone know what time regents decisions will come out?

[limber ore]

I have a proposal:
If 1 2 3 4 5 6 are your schools in the order of most exciting to least exciting

Open in the following order
4 3 5 2 6 1

Starting out in the middle and spreading out = less anxiety build up

[sour root]

I can't resist opening 6 second

[limber ore]

Or

3 6 2 5 1 4

[sour root]

Nice

[limber ore]

Also lemonade why is there a lambda in yo name

[leaden ledge]

same as rd decisions

[sour root]

Reference to lambda calculus

That's why there's a "." Between spicy and lemonade

[limber ore]

I see

I thought it was wavelength or decay constant smh

[misty knot]

Uc Berkeley junior here, just wanted to say good luck to all y’all and maybe see some of y’all on campus next year 💪🏽🫶🏽🙌🏽

[earnest perch]

[sleek lantern]

[ancient cairn]

thanks

[molten tangle]

grats

[vale oasis]

I remember one time someone came into this server or Reddit talking about how they, as a student from Berkeley, didn’t appreciate the acronym UCB and said it was disrespectful and didn’t give the prestige to berkeleys name that they deserved 😂

[rare igloo]

i think that was a joke

[vale oasis]

I don’t think so, it wasn’t shit post Wednesday

[sour root]

A guy said once that they were at a Berkeley orientation and they asked how many people were rejected by Stanford and 800 raised their hand. Then they asked who got accepted but chose Berkeley and 1 Rose their hand. They gave that one guy a standing ovation

[vale oasis]

Lmao

[leaden ledge]

yeah i think

[finite badger]

berkeley will reject me

[slate breach]

Have hope

[slate breach]

definitely

[finite badger]

we keep expectations low

[slate breach]

[slate breach]

[mortal dagger]

[sour root]

[hallow pasture]

does anyone know if u can swtich from stats to data science since they both in cdss

[steel quartz]

(it wasn't worth it)

[hallow pasture]

or do u need to do comprehensive review

[rose prism]

I think there will be a comprehensive review

Since DS is high demanded

You probably need to complete Math1A to Math54, data c8 and cs61a

With like decent gpa

[hallow pasture]

on the cdss faq it says to switch into cdss u need to do comprehensive review but for within cdss it just says contact major advisor

but why cant they give us more info

[rotund scarab]

what time is it out

someone tell pls

[coarse echo]

3:30 - 4 pst

[rugged plinth]

[mild knot]

Is comprehensive review effectively 0 chance

[brave basin]

im 0/4 in csu’s

[languid raven]

All UC’s rejected me, Berkeley is my last hope lol

[jade yacht]

Ooooh. Good luck. U got this

[peak granite]

Others don’t matter anyways. Berk is where it’s at. Except Irvine ofc cause they want me

[steel quartz]

CS major?

[ripe glacier]

[languid raven]

Yep, it’s a huge mistake 2%

[steel quartz]

same

its a death sentence cause i genuinely wonder how many other colleges i wouldve gotten into had i chosen undeclared (if they had an option)

[summer solstice]

time for berkeley?

[ripe glacier]

my extracurriculars scream cs so idk if it would’ve even helped

[steel quartz]

i didnt have many ec's for CS which is probably why i didnt get in

[summer solstice]

decisions are out?

[steel quartz]

most of the colleges i applied to were admit by major so lol

[steel quartz]

[summer solstice]

[onyx kindle]

hopefully ucb pulls through

[onyx kindle]

[serene light]

actually crying rn i'm on an 11 reject/waitlist streak and it is NOT looking good for berkeley or any of the ivies i might be hitting a 16 streak today

[stiff patrol]

dw me too its gonna be okay

[queen lake]

berkeley haas is like impossible right😭

[onyx kindle]

yeah no I get what you mean I'm at 14th rejections rn but let's just hope everything works out somehow, this year has been really competitive so at least we tried our best

[glass flower]

don't think freshmen directly get admitted to haas, unless you apply for bio+business

[warped holly]

It changed for next year

[peak granite]

What is the time for berk decision????????????

[glass flower]

oh damnnn

[queen lake]

what has it changed to

[warped holly]

There was a video and essay required for it too I believe

[glass flower]

3 pst i think based on when I got mine

[warped holly]

Direct admission to haas

[glass flower]

oh shitt

[queen lake]

is it harder now?

[glass flower]

previously when I applied you can only apply to haas after your second year

[warped holly]

I’m curious about that too, no one really has any idea since it’s the first year they did it this way

[onyx kindle]

shit i applied for bio+business am i fucked

[coarse echo]

any political econ ppl

[queen lake]

ohh i see thank you

[glass flower]

bio+business is kinda interesting lol coz its both haas and L&S and only haas and CoE have lower admit rates than overall uni

[red leaf]

I’m so cooked I hope Berkeley wants me

[onyx kindle]

what is CoE?

[glass flower]

college of engineering

[peak granite]

College of engineering

[onyx kindle]

oh okay

[peak granite]

I don’t want another waitlist today

[red leaf]

Same

[peak granite]

What major ??

[red leaf]

For Berkeley

Bro idek remember what I applied for 😭 something biology

[peak granite]

Bro 😭😭

[red leaf]

I’m so cooked

[peak granite]

Me too after the NYU waitlist

[vestal trout]

would you guys go to UC berkeley CS for 70k a year or Georgia tech CS for 18k a year

[languid raven]

I am not getting in with a 2% acceptance rate guys.
I got rejected by NYU.

[languid raven]

I would have chosen GT but they rejected me instate.

[peak granite]

Bro just hope for the best

Don’t get demotivated

[earnest perch]

[vestal trout]

damn well uga is also a great school

[mild knot]

[languid raven]

You got in those two?

[red leaf]

Ayyyy same

[peak granite]

Bruh as an international I don’t think so I will get into berk

[red leaf]

Lol same@

What’s Berkeley’s acceptance rate

[languid raven]

Major acceptance?

[fallen condor]

I mean UT austin is super hard to get into as an oos, so berkeley might not be the most far fetched

[vestal trout]

yea i got into GT UNC UMICH and UGA, rejected from UCLA, waitlisted from UCI and UCSD

[red leaf]

Yeah for bio or whatever idek

[peak granite]

Yeah let’s see what happens

[languid raven]

GT was my dream school sadly, I have failed myself.

[vestal trout]

transfer in next year!

[glass flower]

when i applied oos was 12% and intl was 10% instate was probably 16-17% (2021)

[peak lintel]

[glass flower]

[red leaf]

Oh mannnn

[peak lintel]

I am NOT getting into this school ❌

[serene light]

[peak lintel]

UCSD has a higher acceptance rate for OOS than in state

[glass flower]

bc in 2021, they were wayyy chiller

[serene light]

not even getting at least davis or irvine hurt hella

[glass flower]

even ucla LMAO

[peak granite]

I got into UTAustin and UCSD, waitlisted by UCLA and NYU, deferred by Princeton and rejected by I don’t know how many lmao

[languid raven]

All 3 UC’s rejected me, UcBerkeley is next: it’s horrifying to think because if I was in California I would have been community college bound.

[glass flower]

yall I know someone at berk who was in state, didn't get into ucsd and davis, waitlisted at ucsc but got into berkeley and la

[serene light]

got into umich uwmadison purdue slo umd and a couple csus, waitlisted from davis cmu and sb, and rejected from hella

[peak granite]

Bro I am an international + my major is computer science, my acc rate is like 2% lolllllll

[serene light]

regretting choosing cs as my life path so badly, started too early to have switched though :(

[red leaf]

I’m realizing I only got into ucsd mcb cuz I’m international lol

Their acceptance rate is higher

[peak lintel]

Nah don't discredit yourself

[serene light]

hella scared for cal decisions to come out, if i get rejected i'd be the first in like two generations of my family to not go to berkeley and that shit is terrifying

[peak granite]

Where are you from ??

[red leaf]

Canada

[mortal grotto]

[peak lintel]

You have 9 acceptances it don't matter tbh

[peak granite]

[peak lintel]

5 people at my school got into LA which is insane

[rapid terrace]

it lwk was esp as my unweighted gpa was not rlly up to ucla’s standards 😍

[peak lintel]

You probably have cracked ECs/essays

[glass flower]

[peak lintel]

there was a picture that showed 2000/3725?

idk

[rapid terrace]

[main hamlet]

damn 2023 was a good year 25% waitlist admit rate

[steel quartz]

waitlisted where @languid raven

[misty knot]

The 25% that went to Stanford got replaced

[peak lintel]

Clemson is no longer an in state safety from what I hear

[rapid terrace]

i wonder how much berk’s acceptance rate drops just because of cs

[languid raven]

Case Western (counting it cause I got ghosted)
Emory (counting it cause I got ghosted)
UCIrvine
Wake Forest

[languid raven]

Wait what

[steel quartz]

2% we're all dead

[rapid terrace]

glad i’m not a cs major

[steel quartz]

i like how they say hollistic yet they have to go by a 2% AR 😂

[haughty haven]

how much is the acceptance rate for eecs

[peak lintel]

Apparently my aunt has a ton of friends in SC whose kids got rejected there

[rapid terrace]

~4%

[peak lintel]

They could also just be stupid for all I know 💀 but

[haughty haven]

gonna get rejected then, gotta settle for virginia tech

[peak lintel]

Ok Berkeley waitlist is not bad actually

[misty knot]

Just to clarify cs is in college of L&S so it’s not an admit by major situation and it’s admit rate is similar to overall, only eecs, met, haas have lower admit rates

[peak lintel]

They must have shit yield LOL

[steel quartz]

i wonder what the WL AR is for CS and EECS (probably 0)

[languid raven]

LEMME IN THE WAITLIST

[rapid terrace]

nah cs is in college of computing data sci & society now and is admit by major (and has one of the lowest admit rates out of any major at berk)

[ancient cairn]

wrong and wrong

cs is in cdss now no longer l&s (it's own college with stats and ds) and cs is an impacted major at around 4% so it's not the same as the overall l&s admit rate

[steel quartz]

wrong

[peak lintel]

EECS at Berkeley if you don't get in just cry

[mild knot]

💀💀💀

[steel quartz]

Pure CS is now in CDSS

[north magnet]

yeah cause they get in ivies lol

[haughty haven]

is eecs now a more popular major at berekley than cs?

[mild knot]

Im in state and have only made merced and sc so far

[gloomy panther]

no its direct admit now because its impacted

[hardy haven]

real

[peak lintel]

WHY is the link bugging

[misty knot]

Ohhh I see i see looks like it changed thx for clarifying..it was in L&S in 2021

[peak lintel]

Anyways it's supposed to go to the UC Berkeley site 💀

[cerulean python]

Is Mech Engg admit by major?

[warm glacier]

what time does berkeley come out

[peak lintel]

About 1h30m

[peak lintel]

sushi that command won't work because we don't have an exact time

[rapid terrace]

reality of being a cs major

[peak lintel]

You said that you got waitlisted UCSD??

[cerulean python]

so does than mean i have a better shot if my department is larger at berkley?

[ancient cairn]

the early ucb round came out at 3:33 pm pst so it should be around the same today

[serene light]

no rejected

[proper wagon]

damn

[peak lintel]

And I got accepted???? What the fuck

[rapid terrace]

kinda but also depends how many students apply to mech e

[hardy haven]

berk my last hope

[languid raven]

I’m screwed

[peak lintel]

This process is goofy as hell

Not that I didn't deserve to get into UCSD, but if I did then you CERTAINLY should have

[languid plank]

You are a king

[misty knot]

If it’s not CoE, cdss, eecs (those are wayy lower)

[vestal trout]

when does berkeley release decisions?

[misty knot]

Ofc special programs like MET and haas are also harder

[ancient cairn]

3:30-4pm pst today

[cerulean python]

would eecs have a lower admit rate than mech e?

[peak lintel]

Expect at around <t:1711665000:t>

[rapid terrace]

yes

[peak lintel]

But almost certainly no earlier than that

[misty knot]

I’d assume so

[ancient cairn]

yea but if ur meche u can transfer to eecs pretty easily

[misty knot]

I think historically at least eecs was lower/one of the lower admit rate majors in CoE

[cerulean python]

isnt eccs capped and i heard its ppretty difficult to transfer to eecs?

[peak lintel]

Guys what if I just withdrew everywhere but American and committed 🤭

[ancient cairn]

from within coe it's not that hard

[warm glacier]

its not hard to tranfer to eecs

[scenic topaz]

guys I heard that for intl students you get either ucla or ucb but probs not both, is it true?

[peak lintel]

Ughhhhh I can't because I need to tour UCSD, American, and GWU first + see finalized finaid packages

[warm glacier]

nope

[peak lintel]

But god I hate not knowing 100%

[cerulean python]

i see

[misty knot]

True for me and 4 of my intl friends who were wl at ucla lmao

[ancient cairn]

nah not true

[peak lintel]

I hear that's usually true for everyone--apparently UCB and UCLA rarely cross-admit

[misty knot]

Take it with a grain of salt tho

[cerulean python]

and u go to berkley now?

[scenic topaz]

ohh

[misty knot]

Yup

[cerulean python]

nice. what major?

[ancient cairn]

i got cross admit and know quite a few that did too idt they like intentionally make it so that u basically only get into one it's just that they have different institutional priorities so u need to get lucky

[scenic topaz]

I was admitted to ucla but berkeley has been my dream school like forever but none of my previous intl friends got in to both

[peak lintel]

Well yeah I didn't mean it was like a concerted effort between the two schools

Would you say UCB or UCLA prioritizes ECs/essays more? Or no way to know for sure

[misty knot]

Mcb (I’m premed)

[warm glacier]

berkeley

[peak lintel]

[rapid terrace]

[ancient cairn]

i heard ucla rlly cares about stats

[warm glacier]

ucla all gpa lmao

[cerulean python]

do they consider freshman year?

[misty knot]

You still have a shot at Berkeley esp if you got into a similarity competitive uni don’t give up hope

[warm glacier]

nop

[peak lintel]

Not all! I have perfect GPA and great course rigor but my shit ECs, awards, essays made it so I was a reject at UCLA

[misty knot]

Yea same here

[cerulean python]

also, how bad does a 6 in IB HL look compared to a 7? - as per their gpa grading system

[rapid terrace]

were you a cs major/oos

[scenic topaz]

ty 🥰

[misty knot]

Ucla and berk really do have diff priorities when building their class each year

[hard grail]

boutta go 0/4 for ucs

[misty knot]

So makes sense why many get into one and not the other

[peak lintel]

OOS not CS

[thorn dome]

i had a 6 in english lit hl in junior yr (applying for comparative lit too 💀) and still got into nyu barnard and georgetown yesterday/tdy!

[ancient cairn]

but they also consider ur entire app for <10 minutes across all reads so they dont think abt their institutional priorities nearly as much as privates

[cerulean python]

as per their gpa graing system

[vale oasis]
