UC Berkeley (UCB) (2023-2024)

[worn egret]

I think all these options are instantly better than an instagram handler xD

[arctic vault]

the dot method be clean

[worn egret]

i lowks fucked up my ucla logon by putting my IG handle XD

[leaden ledge]

bro my instagram handle is @[firstname][last name]

[worn egret]

i didnt know it would translate to email

doesnt matter tho im not going there anyway

LOL

[leaden ledge]

because when i become famous some day thats the handle i want for my professional account and i dont want it to get taken so im saving it

[worn egret]

when u guys come in the fall someone should help me take my linkedin photo :)

[arctic vault]

somebody hit me up with a linkedin photo too 👀

[worn egret]

let's help each other out :)

[leaden ledge]

i have an awesome linkedin photo

nothing else about my linkedin is good tho

i have nothing on it but my school name

[worn egret]

fire

[arctic vault]

wish i could say the same about my student id photo

still in despair

[leaden ledge]

my student id photo is my linkedin with the background removed 😭

[arctic vault]

why cal gotta do me dirty like that

[worn egret]

you already got your student id photo?

[arctic vault]

yep

[worn egret]

how?

[arctic vault]

u submit ur own for the cal 1 card thing

bro my chest takes up 2/3 of the photo

[worn egret]

so they didn't resize it properly

[arctic vault]

my head is barely in frame why did they approve it

[worn egret]

what is cal 1 card even used for?

[arctic vault]

pretty much everything

[leaden ledge]

wait did you already get the ID

[arctic vault]

access to buildings in stuff

oh no

im just assuming theyre using my pic for the id

[leaden ledge]

they just said its approved?

[worn egret]

i wanna go inside soda and cory hall

never been there

[arctic vault]

but they did replace the picture on the top right of cal central

with the photo u submit

[leaden ledge]

ohhhhh

[arctic vault]

and its straight up just my chest and neck

[worn egret]

i havent even seen the outside of those buildings lol even tho i visited a week before cal day

[arctic vault]

i need a full in depth tour of berk still

rushed for all those freebies on cal day

[leaden ledge]

i've never been to berk lol

[arctic vault]

a couple more months and then we all are at berk

but ngl tho i wish it was sunny when it was cal day

[worn egret]

I wonder how many ppl are actually going to keep attending lectures for our CS classes lol

[arctic vault]

or let alone not raining

[worn egret]

i hear that a lot of ppl just stop going lol

it's usually the first lecture that they use the biggest hall in

[arctic vault]

im tellin myself that im gonna keep attending lectures but thats like a canon event or somethin apparently

[worn egret]

same

despite the big class sizes, ima do my best to leave my foot print

i do want to pursue undergrad research

[arctic vault]

i did hear that sometimes professors ask ppl not to go to class cause theres barely any seats left

not sure if thats true tho

[worn egret]

SAME

if that does happen ima be like ok bet i wont go then XD and just look at the recordings

Hollow, i still gotta watch s2 of JJK lol

[knotty sluice]

[wintry silo]

Guys I just checked my finaid and it went up by like 3k randomly did this happen to anyone else

And it says some stuff about scholarships but I can’t tell if I actually won them lmao

[worn egret]

Interesting

Nah idk I haven’t checked

I don’t even have my package yet 😭

[vapid junco]

You can take my spot 😃 Berkeley regents

[stable ferry]

What major?

[worn egret]

Where you going ?

[stray parrot]

my friend already withdrew from eecs

hope u get it

[jaunty linden]

w

:D

[stray parrot]

does anyone know how to read my fin aid info

i just got it but why are they making it sound so confusing 💀

[arctic vault]

look at the right side

where it yaps about loans n stuff

and gifts

[arctic vault]

or actually just send a pic

[worn egret]

ooh

man i hope i get it today lol

[stray parrot]

is it this

[stray parrot]

o lol id rather not send a pic lmao

im just trying to figure out how to read it

cuz i can't tell if the number i see is the amount i pay or the amount i get

[arctic vault]

you for sure received ur financial aid yes?

[stray parrot]

yeah

i got an email

[arctic vault]

you can check what u got here: (yes i got 0 aid)

[stray parrot]

wai where do i find that

[arctic vault]

on the left side

[stray parrot]

oh wait

wait so the "gift aid" is the amount i get off?

[arctic vault]

yes

[stray parrot]

and "funding offered" is the regular tuition

[arctic vault]

not necessarily?

[stray parrot]

huh

then whast the funding offered part

[arctic vault]

thats what you have to pay

"funding" aka loans

[stray parrot]

oh so funding is the amont i have to pay

and gift aid it eh amoutn i get

so i subtract "gift aid" from "funding offered"

and thats the amount i pay

[arctic vault]

yes

[stray parrot]

ok ok

[arctic vault]

but thats basically just loans/workstudy so

[stray parrot]

i see

ok yeah that sounds about rigth

thanks

[worn egret]

is the 1 incomplete task the housing confirmation thing

[arctic vault]

yes

[worn egret]

i fixed it a few days after and now i have my SAI, so i just gotta wait lol

[stable ferry]

omg I’m literally wl for EECs it really means a lot tell your friend thank you 🙏🏾 😁

[worn egret]

im praying for you dude

[stable ferry]

dude my twin brother got into EECS and my older sister did EECS too

[worn egret]

BRO WHAT

ur family is cracked

[stable ferry]

yeah…

me and my twin had similar stats but his was a bit better than mine

[worn egret]

wat was ur uc gpa?

[stable ferry]

Like 3.96 uw

I took like 8 APs and 8 DE/CE classes (counting senior year)

I got a B in AP Physics because of my teacher (she never taught us :((

but I made that up by taking physics mechanics as a CE class at my local CC

[worn egret]

You have taken considerably more CC classed than i did

i took 2 lol

[stable ferry]

yeah I took a bunch

[worn egret]

i did focus more on ap tho

[stable ferry]

yeahh me personally I like CC classes because your guaranteed to transfer the credit

My brother took like 9 APs and 10 CE/DE classes

[stable ferry]

AP’s are good tho and plus you got in sooo it was defo worth :))

[worn egret]

Yah i suppose lol

buttt i really hope you get off the waitlist

is ur older sister already a student?

[stable ferry]

nah she graduated in 2019

[worn egret]

ohhh

what is she doing now?

she's eecs right?

[stable ferry]

she’s currently a software engineer at Google

[worn egret]

DAMN

[stable ferry]

yeah she did EECS

[worn egret]

i kinda have an unorthodox goal

[stable ferry]

talk about the pressure I have lol

[worn egret]

for eecs

[stable ferry]

what is it?

[worn egret]

well actually not that unorthodox actually XD

[stable ferry]

loll

[worn egret]

but i want to continue researching and eventually become a professor

[stable ferry]

Ohhh

[worn egret]

dudeee i would fumble so hard lol

[stable ferry]

I mean my brother wants to do a phd and research in quantum computing in the future which is totally different than like Google lol

I wanna be a software engineer or go into investment banking (so like maybe minor in business or apply to MET) and like live in New York

[stable ferry]

yeahh I’m just praying for the best yk keeping my head strong and even if I don’t get off telling myself that’s it’s not the end of the world yk

[worn egret]

ohh so the quant path

[stable ferry]

Yeahh

[worn egret]

it's so interesting how CS has so many career paths

My interest is ML / Robotics

[stable ferry]

yeahh the degree is really forgiving there’s so much you can do with it

[stable ferry]

ohhh cool!!! Ik Berkeley has great research opportunities for that especially in EECS

[scenic shore]

Oh no wonder ur trying to do grad school

Ml and robotics isn’t taught at a high level at most undergrads so most people have to do in grad

CMU robotics and ml is great

[worn egret]

yah cmu is cracked

[stable ferry]

yeahh I got wl there too

[scenic shore]

I want to do ml so I might have to do grad also

@worn egret see u at CMU in 2030

[worn egret]

LOL

wouldnt it be 2028

cuz like phd path not master

[scenic shore]

Oh sorry wrong one

No 2030

Cuz that’s when we graduate with an ms

[stable ferry]

my sister is an ML engineer with just her EECS bachelors but than again that was like 5 years ago where the economy was like not in a recession

[worn egret]

quantum computing is also freaking dope

man i just love cs haha

[stable ferry]

I love the flexibility of the degree like you can do so much with it yk!!

[worn egret]

im eecs cuz i also like the hardware side

[scenic shore]

Damn that’s crazy

[worn egret]

unrelated but yall think UCs would go back to SAT ? i heard rumors that they might be creating their own test

idk

[stable ferry]

idk I haven’t heard about UCs but I saw like ivys on the news bringing back standardized testing

[worn egret]

ohhh most phd tracks have the masters built into them, so you can go straight for phd from undergrad

it's also probably the most financially savvy because good phd offers are fully funded + a stipdend

[worn egret]

Yeah huh. Who knows!

but it's crazy how the acceptance rate goes down as the years go by

cuz before 2020 i think berkeley was like 16% now it's like 10% i think, i dont have the figure

[scenic shore]

See you at CMU in the future!!!!

[hexed sigil]

yo you planning to go cmu for masters?

[supple kayak]

is there a berkeley 28 discord?

[scenic shore]

maybe

[unique snow]

yes DM

[worn egret]

Ok

[knotty sluice]

bro u alr committed lol

[worn egret]

Technically not yet

Still waiting for finaid

UCLA rn is 2.5k/yr

Hopefully Berkeley can match it or offer something similar 🤑

[vapid junco]

MechE

[silk orbit]

question

which dorm should i absolutely avoid

[worn egret]

Yeah I’m wondering the same

[arctic vault]

unit 3

[lament anvil]

yo

if i have 3 C's and 2 B's

will i get rescinded

[scenic shore]

YES?!!!!

i cant tell if this is a troll or not

[lament anvil]

its not

idk what gets me rescinded

[scenic shore]

read the rules

u need at least 3.0 uw gpa brother

[lament anvil]

fuck

[scenic shore]

whats with the sudden slack

[lament anvil]

tryna hit chall in league

[scenic shore]

bro.....

u need to catch urself bro

like lock it in

[lament anvil]

hm this is annoying

[scenic shore]

u have abt 1 month and a half

[scenic shore]

try talking to individual teachers

[lament anvil]

is it aldo 3.0 for ucla?

also*

[scenic shore]

maybe they will understand give u extracredit

[scenic shore]

yes bro....

[lament anvil]

nah 3.0 is easy

i just want to hit chal tho

but if i go for challeng i dont hav time for schol

[scenic shore]

ok now wtf i feel like ur hard trolling me

[arctic vault]

i mean worse case scenario u have to beg

[lament anvil]

is it 100% rescindence

[arctic vault]

some people retain their admission if they just tell the office

[lament anvil]

if i get like 2.83

[arctic vault]

nu uh

u MIGHT get rescinded

[lament anvil]

wallah

i have purdue

doesnt matter

[daring isle]

very possible

[jaunty linden]

purdue w

[misty rivet]

Bro imo if you even have to consider playing league of legends over your ucla enrollment you don’t belong at ucla

Unless you are making bank I can’t see why would risk being rescinded

[round ferry]

Is it really unweighted? My counselor said it’s weighted; low key so confused

[worn egret]

It’s unweighted I’m pretty sure

[scenic shore]

thats for the other ucs i think. but im pretty sure ucla and uc berk have both said 3.0 unweighted

so pls dont get over 1 C

[arctic vault]

i mean

max 4 Cs

[worn egret]

Real 🤣

My seniorities started to kicked in but I built enough insurance that at worst I’ll probably have a few Bs

[verbal yew]

oh yeah the senioritis is there for me too but prioritizing league is crazy 😭

[worn egret]

Yah i would prioritize school if I was that borderline…

AP scores don’t matter as long as you end up taking the tests that you said you’d take + submit the scores you reported?

[verbal yew]

i would think so yeah

unless the ap score is able to waive a class

[worn egret]

Bro my ucla package looks so good lol

Still waiting for Berk’s

[leaden ledge]

berk's is so much better???

[worn egret]

I’m still waiting for it XD

But ucla is 2.5k/yr for me

[leaden ledge]

oh you meant financial package

i thought you meant the acceptance package

[worn egret]

Both were solid haha

[leaden ledge]

nah bro wtf is one sticker

[worn egret]

What do you call friends you like to eat with?

Taste buds!!

[worn egret]

You’re a legend in the making 🫡

what elo r u rn

[lament anvil]

low gm

[lament anvil]

cry

[misty rivet]

Lol I’m not calling you dumb bud you’re probably cracked but hard work beats talent if talent doesnt work so u dont get clapped in college playing league all the time while ur parents paying thousands

[oak dome]

don't listen to them, UCLA is temporary, League Challenger is eternal

[uneven haven]

wait what’s wrong with unit 3

[noble edge]

ok where's the coaching tho

PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Coach me or watch another person descend into becoming a Janna player in pursuit of LP.

This is not a threat.

I am just letting you know about the moral implications of not helping me.

https://tenor.com/bQlhf.gif

jk

what champ/role do uplay tho?

also imo @lament anvil realistically it's probably just a grind-until-june angle

idt the split ends before june

so if u just don't decay u shoudlb e fine, no?

[scenic shore]

fck ya. this is the right mindset. I WILL GET OUT IRON IN VALORANT

@haughty grotto sorry for ping but you got a full ride right

how does housing work wrt that

like if you want more expensive housing like Blackwell do you need to pay extra

do they only cover basic housing

or do they cover whatever housing preference you put down

[haughty grotto]

yeah

uh

basically its a predetermined guess

if i get a triple at unit 1, 2, or 3

ill prob get a refund

of a certain amount

cause its on the cheaper end

but if i got something like a blackwell single

[leaden ledge]

oh so you have to pay extra if you get more expensive housing?

[haughty grotto]

itd make me put in more probably

[leaden ledge]

ahhhh

[haughty grotto]

from my understanding yes

but i plan to room w/ 2 dudes ik in a triple

so blackwell isnt in consideration cause iirc no triples

[leaden ledge]

fair

[jaunty linden]

Wait rly

How do uk, do they publish this info?

[leaden oar]

@lilac saddle I got waitlisted EECS too. Where you committed to rn?

[vapid junco]

Thank you do you have a link?

[leaden ledge]

yeah i dmed

[stray parrot]

does anyone know if there are gen ed requirements for college of chemistry

apparently there are some requirements for letters and science but idk if those apply for coc as well

[worn egret]

coc 🔥

[stray parrot]

yes coc

but do we have same requirments or nah

cuz im just not gonna take ap gov next week if we dont have requirements

[worn egret]

oh gov is something you don't want to skip

no matter the major you're required to take a gov class

because of fiscal federalism 🔥

[stray parrot]

wait how

where does it say that

[worn egret]

Sorry a little misleading but there is a American Cultures/History/Institutions requirement

[stray parrot]

oh

i think i pass history requirement with apush

[worn egret]

yah same

[stray parrot]

so i dont need gov right

[worn egret]

they accept 3+

[stray parrot]

since im getting apush credit

yeah

i dont see the need for gov

[worn egret]

i dont know how it works tbh lol

[stray parrot]

same

im so lost

[worn egret]

are there any current berk students that you know?

[stray parrot]

my friend told me even if i get a 5 on BC, i still need to take math or something cuz it gives 5.3 credits

[stray parrot]

like none bro 💀

[worn egret]

me neither really

the ones i know aren't really ppl i talk to

[worn egret]

same here but kinda makes sense since im eecs, i need a lot of math lol

[stray parrot]

yeah

[stray parrot]

same

all my senior friends from last year go to diff schools

[worn egret]

same xD

actually

i can talk to my friend's brother

he's graduating this year in MechE :)

[stray parrot]

lucky

[vital badge]

what is the uc berkeeley met summer innovation academy program abt

and what does their tuition cover? its kinda high, so hoping it covers airfare and meals

[leaden ledge]

yeah if you get a 3+ in apush you skip both you don't need gov

[haughty grotto]

What if I got a 4 in AP world and only a 3 in APUSH

Good enough or what do I need from Gov

[stray parrot]

wait so i skip both american culture and us history with apush?

or just us history requirement

cuz this american culture thing looks stupid ngl

[arctic vault]

both

[worn egret]

Interesting

Am I chilling with my 4 from apwh and 3 from APUSH?

[arctic vault]

yeah

its kinda stupid they put a cap on ap tests

[stray parrot]

wait where does itr say that

i swear it didn't say anything for the culture thign

[leaden ledge]

okay let me clarify

there's American history, American institutions, and American culture

American institutions can be skipped with a 3+ in ap gov (you'd still have to take history and culture)
American history and institutions can be skipped with a 3+ in apush (you'd still have to do culture)
American culture cannot be skipped with APs and you have to take it there

This is a Berkeley-wide requirement so regardless of what college you're in, you'll have these

@stray parrot @haughty grotto @worn egret

https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/ap-exam-credits/ap-credits/berkeley.html

[worn egret]

So I’m chilling with American history

And will be chilling with institutions because I will definitely be passing gov with a 5 😎😎

[haughty grotto]

so by successfully nailing a 3 in apush

my ap gov score doesnt matter

https://tenor.com/view/thierry-thierry-henry-wink-arsenal-goat-gif-21644819

[leaden ledge]

You don't need govd if you've taken history btw

[worn egret]

Oh can I still transfer the creds tho?

[leaden ledge]

yeah APs count towards final unit reqs

[haughty grotto]

the bad thing is any other ap that would excuse some classes within my school hasnt been taken by me

:(

if only my school had environmental science bro

[stray parrot]

ig i have to take that goofy american culture shit

btw are there any benefits of taking ap exams for classes that aren't required for me

my mom wants me to take all my aps this year so i can get credits and "graduate early" but idfk how that works

[leaden ledge]

you need a minimum of 120 units to graduate

if you only take classes in your major you won't hit the 120

[stray parrot]

oh shit

[leaden ledge]

APs count towards the 120

even if they don't relate to your major

[stray parrot]

so the more aps i get the earlier i graduate

[leaden ledge]

yeah

[stray parrot]

ig theres a cap because the required classes for my major will have a certain number of credits

[leaden ledge]

you still need to finish all your major requirements tho

[leaden ledge]

yeah probs

[stray parrot]

do you know how i can check how many credits are required to graduate for each major

[leaden ledge]

what's your major

[stray parrot]

chemical biology

college of chemistry

https://guide.berkeley.edu/undergraduate/degree-programs/chemical-biology/#majorrequirementstext

this website has the "requirements"

but idk how to count the credits

trying to figure out what this means too

[leaden ledge]

https://guide.berkeley.edu/undergraduate/degree-programs/chemical-biology/#majorrequirementstext

https://chemistry.berkeley.edu/ugrad/degrees/chembio#:~:text=****** Unit,addition to those listed here.

yeah i couldn't find a stipulated number of units

[stray parrot]

what a tragedy

[leaden ledge]

that number is how many units each class is

[stray parrot]

ohhh

ok

ig that makes it easier

@leaden ledge do you know if the breadth reuqirement counts towards this 120 unit thing

[leaden ledge]

it does

any courses you take count toward the 120 unit

so to graduate you just need to do UC requirement + Berkeley requirement + the college you're in's requirement + major requirements + any extra courses to meet 120 units

[stray parrot]

i see

wait i have a question

for example, i need to take chemistry cuz its a requirement

they dont give me ap credit for chem because im literally in college of chemistry

but if i take the ap chem exam, can i use it for anything?

im assuming it doesn't mean anything since i dont get credit for it

[leaden ledge]

uhhhhhhhhh

i don't think you can use the exam to skip a class but you can use it to count towards the 120?

[stray parrot]

ok so basically even if I get a 5 on ap chemistry it doesn't satisfy anything so this test won't help me graduate faster right

[leaden ledge]

yeah idk sorry😭

[stray parrot]

o ok

😔

im asking for a lil too much but do u know why it says 5.3 units on the left but 3 units for breadth requirement

last question i promise 😭

[leaden ledge]

yeah idk😭

[stray parrot]

😭

[strong pier]

hi for living in the dorms how do you choose your roommates because my friend recently submitted his housing app but only ranked the top 5 dorms and that’s it

he said it didn’t ask about specific roommates or anything

is that correct or is there a way? 😿

[topaz fossil]

bruh i accidentally inputted i'd be taking ap gov comp and not ap gov us 😭

damnit

i need to udpate them

[worn egret]

good thing that you noticed!

imagine lol

[topaz fossil]

i mean now that i update them it shouldnt matter right?

[hexed sigil]

crisis diverted

please update it lmao

[topaz fossil]

i def will but

i wont get resicnded for this shit right

💀

[hexed sigil]

idts if you update/notify them abt it

[worn egret]

you should be fine

[topaz fossil]

yeah ill update them but i feel like still that'd be crazy to rescind over such a minute detail anyways

[worn egret]

ive seen cal rescind ppl for the smallest things but that's bc they didn't let them know

[topaz fossil]

rly?

as in what

[worn egret]

just anecedotal

this is prob the most famous vid lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbOoPlFbil8

[hexed sigil]

there's this one girl on yt who got rescinded

[worn egret]

HAHA Yea

lololol

[hexed sigil]

LOL we were thinking of the same thing

[worn egret]

are you a student at cal?

[topaz fossil]

well bro

she got a D

this is geninuely her fault

[hexed sigil]

no I got waitlisted

[scenic shore]

PREACH

YESJXICOX

EBEUDIBD

I’m so tired

[topaz fossil]

like how do u not re-look at ur grades and realize u didnt put a D

like

[worn egret]

tbh i watched this a while back i forgot the circumstance, if so that makes sense

[stray parrot]

bro this is so confusing

[topaz fossil]

theres no way that wasnt on purpose l ike

she said she "inputted a w instead of a d"

[worn egret]

if you get off would you go?

[topaz fossil]

like bruh how do u not double check ur grades espcially ur bad ones

[stray parrot]

do any of you guys know why it says 5.3 on the left and 3 on the right

smrithi didn't know 😔

[hardy haven]

bye this scared me

[hexed sigil]

prob not, I don't like the major I selected anymore, and tbh don't think berkeley environment is for me lmao

[hardy haven]

new biggest fear

[worn egret]

ah ok, all good. if you mind me asking, where you going?

[arctic vault]

am i gonna get rescinded for only having a 99% in a class

[topaz fossil]

bruh if u know u got a D in the course like

u cant even apply to the ucs

[hexed sigil]

ucsd

[worn egret]

nice!

[hardy haven]

yea I’m worried about my grades rn 😭

but like I heard there other ways u can get rescinded

[strong pier]

do you know the email to update berk because i originally messed up in my uc application

[hardy haven]

like failing to report a grade or taking too many credits I forgot

[strong pier]

🥲

[arctic vault]

ngl the only reason i try to get good grades now is just for my ego and dignity

[stray parrot]

wdym taking too many credits

[strong pier]

i put a class for winter 22 instead of winter 23 so i want to update them

[stray parrot]

how do they rescind you for getting too many credits 💀

[hardy haven]

uh tbh I don’t remember

it’s not for this school

[stray parrot]

oh

[arctic vault]

yield prot level 2

[stray parrot]

does anyone know what happens if we get more than 120 units

[hardy haven]

like if u basically become a college student before like getting an associates I don’t remember

[stray parrot]

oh

hmm

idk about that

[hardy haven]

yea same

[stray parrot]

but if we get over 120 units does it do anything

or do we just graduate the second we get 120 units

[arctic vault]

120 is the minimum no?

[stray parrot]

yeah

[arctic vault]

136 is the cap

[stray parrot]

oh theres a cap

wtf

[hardy haven]

r u transferring from berk to Cornell or is that like a program?

[hardy haven]

yes

[stray parrot]

yep

[hardy haven]

which one lol

[stray parrot]

wait so i cna't even get max credit

yellow ones are ones i have rn

for aps

[stray parrot]

TO

[arctic vault]

tfw they limit ap tests

[hardy haven]

what’s ur major ?

[stray parrot]

nutritional sciences at CHE

[hardy haven]

stingy schools ugh

[stray parrot]

its better for premed than berk i suppose

[hardy haven]

ohhh makes sense gll

[stray parrot]

tyty

[arctic vault]

so many tests and for what

i literally have no more motivation to try on ap exams just cause of it

[stray parrot]

wait so the maximum ap credits i can get is 136 - required credits

dawg

[hardy haven]

bro I don’t think il get credits for most of the classes I’m taking

[stray parrot]

why not?

how do you even calculate the number of credits you need for your major

this is all so vague

[hardy haven]

like my school has a limit

[arctic vault]

so many ap classes i take are useless

[stray parrot]

where can you find thatA?

[hardy haven]

and ugh apparently the classes I’m taking at college like the ge won’t be covered and I have to actually take them again

[stray parrot]

whaa

[hardy haven]

I js did a quick google search (btw it’s not ucb)

[stray parrot]

oh

i thought ucb for a sec

[hardy haven]

yea sorry
