#

I will not heed your warning

fast river
#

guys im not quite sure we’re actually into CCS

on my acceptance letter it still says they will separately inform me and that if i havent been accepted then imma just get into L&S

#

i think CCS still has to email us

neat hamlet
#

"they will notify you seperately about your admission"

fast river
#

no but it literally says

#

if you havent been accepted, blah blah blah

#

why would it say that if i had already been accepted

neat hamlet
#

because the email is likely not customized based on whether you accepted to CCS or not

fast river
#

maybe

neat hamlet
#

so it has to address the people who are not accepted by CCS

fast river
#

hopefully ur right lol

neat hamlet
#

im just guessing

runic smelt
#

UCSB > UCSD (because they accepted me)

torpid totem
#

my friend's acceptance email literally says something like "we admit you into your second intented major as (unfortunately) you are not admitted into CCS"

#

mine is different & indicates acceptance

#

plus you can see it on the ucsb portal

#

at least if they rob me of this now theysa in big doodoo dis time

fast river

oh based

I’m beyond mad

Bs aren't bad bro

tawdry furnace
#

I don’t get wtf they are doing

lunar dagger
#

I almost got straight Bs sophomore year and got waitlisted UCLA and accepted UCSD

Bs are not the reason someone gets rejected

tawdry furnace
# lunar dagger bro yeah you have a good shot

I seriously don’t know if I should opt into waitlist. I’m getting more annoyed by how UCs are picking and choosing doesn’t seem very rational and just feels random at this point. I seriously don’t want to play games like this with them and how they constantly toy with my heart

#

I don’t understand why tf shit like this is happening

lunar dagger
#

bro there is literally no effort involved with the UCSB waitlist

#

the only wiatlist that actually requires you to put effort in is UCLA

#

Just click it bro

Who tf cares worst they can say is no

oh

then why r u so pissed

tawdry furnace

yeah I’m ab to

lunar dagger

if ti doesn't go well

#

I visited ucsb in november

#

It was not as impressive as people say it is

UCLA waitlist requires a letter?

Also santa barbara runs out of shit to experience quickly

Oh

Which a lot use as a letter

feral gulch
#

meh

#

im gonna get rejected everything istg its over

junior coyote
#

Santa Barbara is pretty

#

Haven’t been around ucsb area

#

For people going to ucsb, McConnell’s ice cream is so good (this chain’s ice cream stores r only located in sb)

fathom gazelle
#

and fried chicken

fresh veldt
#

im pretty sure asian food there is scarce

#

my ucsb friend tells me he eats wingstop like every week LOL

fathom gazelle
#

wait I read that wrong you haven't been around sb

junior coyote
#

Ye

#

I have visited Santa Barbara but not ucsb specifically but ye

fresh veldt
#

im having a hard time choosing between ucsb and uci because i was gonna plan to double major in stats and ds at ucsb with my pbs major but i heard the stats department is not that good

#

got in for cog sci at uci so now ill have to spend quite some time thinking abt it...

junior coyote
#

I would visit both colleges if you’re able to. It’ll help

fresh veldt
#

so many good things about both ucsb and uci its just so hard to pick just one LOLLLL

#

hopefully i make the right choice by the end of it all

lunar dagger
#

where do u live

fresh veldt
#

bay area

lunar dagger
#

ok

#

have u viisted before

#

either school

fresh veldt
#

no but i was planning to visit both next month just to get the vibes of it too but i also want to think about which program is better

lunar dagger
#

okay

#

I live 20 mins from UCI so i think i'm pretty qualified to discuss location and all that

bright panther
#

ucsb cs acceptance rate?

fresh veldt
#

oh cool! it would be helpful

lunar dagger
#

uci is basically right next to newport, it's called UC Irvine because it' stechnically in irvine but it's basically Newport

#

Newport Beach is an extremely extremely extremely expensive part of Orange County

#

Massive beach houses, nice cars

#

Absolutely beautiful

#

There is a mall fashion island right by UCI it is really cool

#

one of those luxury malls

fresh veldt
#

irvine spectrum right?

lunar dagger
#

Fashion Island

#

I'll get to spectrum

fresh veldt
#

OHHH ohh i see i read it wrong LOL sorry keep going

lunar dagger
#

Spectrum is in Irvine

#

I've been to Spectrum way more than Newport because Spectrum is more like

#

People friendly and you can actually go shopping there

#

Fashion Island if youw ant to go shopping you're gonna have to spend a rack lmao

#

Spectrum has lots of clothing stores and food options and it's a great place to ahng out at

#

So yes location wise i would say UCi is pretty cool

#

There is a good amount of shit to do here

junior coyote
#

My friend goes to Irvine and loves it

lunar dagger
#

I concur

fresh veldt
#

HMMMM oki ill add all of these things onto a google doc so i have things to compare

#

im definitely excited to check both out

lunar dagger
#

oh wait

#

Concur means agree

#

Unfortunately i disagre

#

So the location of UCI is great

#

But im gonna be so straigth up

fresh veldt
#

oh LMFAO

lunar dagger
#

My cousin attends UCI and he hates it

junior coyote
#

Checking out both will help a lot. Ask a lot of questions when you’re there

#

Oop

lunar dagger
#

I know a few more UCI students who absolutely despise it

junior coyote
#

My friend is the opposite, she loves it a lot

lunar dagger
#

All of them cite the same reason

fathom gazelle
junior coyote
#

Guess it depends on the person

lunar dagger
#

UCI isn't really hte college life

#

You are gonna expect

fresh veldt
#

socially dead right

lunar dagger
#

UCI has a basketball team that's abt it

fresh veldt
#

thats what i heard

lunar dagger
#

YES

#

DUDE

fresh veldt
#

OMG

lunar dagger
#

ITS TRUE

fresh veldt
#

THATS WHY I WAS HESITANT

#

ABOUT CHOOSING UCI

fathom gazelle
#

Ucsd more socially dead tho 💀

fresh veldt
#

AND THATS WHY IM HAVING A HARD TIME DECIDING

junior coyote
#

UCSB does have a lot of college life lol if you’re looking for that

lunar dagger
#

Bro I have been to the UNiversity Town Center which is basically a shopping center dedicated to UCI Students

#

Bro

#

I'm gonna be so serious

#

It's not great man

#

There are vids of people on tiktok trying to talk to uci students

fresh veldt
#

like no one goes there or theres just nothing to do

lunar dagger
#

And they just won't talk bro

fresh veldt
#

at that spot

lunar dagger
#

Oh the spot is cool but the people there bruh

fresh veldt
#

oh god LOL

lunar dagger
#

UCI isn't what you expect if you want a college experience you WILL be dissapointed if you are social

#

See if you're an introvert

#

You'll be fine

#

If you want to go out and meet people and all that

#

I would not suggest UCI

fresh veldt
#

oh god im definitely gonna be disappointed i go out every other day

fathom gazelle
#

in this case ucsb >>> in every social aspect, right?

fresh veldt
#

that helps make the decision a little more clear

junior coyote
#

UCSB is a party school

lunar dagger
#

Yes UCSB and UCLA are probably the best bets for a social aspect

#

UCSB and UCLA throw parties and shit

junior coyote
#

UCSB has the most rep for party school

lunar dagger
#

UCI's parties are only with the frats and stuff so you're gonna hve to get involved with that if you want to even get anywhere near that

#

Does UCI have a great educational program? definitely

fresh veldt
lunar dagger
#

Was I a little butthurt I was rejected? Definitely

#

but i'm so serious

junior coyote
#

lol

lunar dagger
#

UCI is not the college life

#

A lot fo people want

#

UCSB is what you want to do if you want a social life bro I promise you will love it

#

I can discuss UCSB too I visited

fathom gazelle
#

bro is convincing me to go to ucsb instead of sd (engineering)

fresh veldt
#

oh sure go ahead

lunar dagger
#

Okay I stayed in SB over Thanksgiving break

junior coyote
lunar dagger
#

SB is beautiful yes don't get me wrong

fathom gazelle
#

computer engineering

junior coyote
lunar dagger
#

But like unpopular opinion you will get bored at Santa Barbara after a while. There isn't all that much stuff to do if i'm gonna be honest

junior coyote
#

I was going to say if it was like chemical engineering or materials related I heard ucsb is good for those

lunar dagger
#

There is an outlet there that is cool and all it's just like Irvine Spectrum equivalent

copper elbow
lunar dagger
#

But UCSB's campus relaly isn't that special. yes private beach yes lagoon yes surfs up

fresh veldt
lunar dagger
#

But like

fathom gazelle
#

I genuinely can't decide between the two, sd's engineering is obv better but it's much more rigorous

lunar dagger
#

The buildings are old

torpid totem
lunar dagger
#

The asphalt is ancient

lunar dagger
#

one cool thin gi stheir frat houses are all by each other and that's cool so if you're a partier and all that you will definitely enjoy UCSB

fathom gazelle
#

going to sit in some lectures too

lunar dagger
#

But I was thinking like, I don't want to only party for four years straight. I love my parties but like that sounds MISERABLE

junior coyote
#

I don’t think rigor should stop you unless you rlly don’t like being under pressure

junior coyote
fresh veldt
#

or thats my value

lunar dagger
#

I cannot speak on UCSD i ahve not visited but my cousin's husband attended UCSD like 20 years ago and he was telling me about it

fresh veldt
#

have fun for the first 2, and actually lock in for the degree

fathom gazelle
lunar dagger
#

He said UCSD is a lot like UCI, it's way more chill but the thing is UCSD is in San Diego which has stuff to do definitely

#

but the studnts are yes sociall ydead

#

But he said he woul ddo crazy moves

lunar dagger
#

Like you coul ddrive down to Tijuana if that's what you like just for fun LMAO

fresh veldt
#

LOL

lunar dagger
#

Or you can drive up to Oceanside and hit the casinos because on tribal territory they're 18 years old

#

Which is really funny

fresh veldt
#

wait really LOL thats so funny

lunar dagger
#

yes you ahve access to do things your parents probably don't want you doing

#

But then again UCSD is dead bro

#

I'm very grateful i got in

#

but like cmon

#

I really don't want to live like that

fresh veldt
#

after what you told me about uci and ucsb as a campus i think id rather choose ucsb so thank you for all the information you gave me

#

i really appreciate it

lunar dagger
#

yes bro i gotchu

#

i think location wise UCI is nicer but i'm biased because i basically live there

#

But i can send some pics of newport

#

Newport is NICE

fathom gazelle
#

ik people defend ucsd by saying they focus a lot on academics

#

but other school does too like ucla and berkeley but they're not as dead as sd 💀 there's just something geniunely wrong there

lunar dagger
fresh veldt
#

OH WOW

#

thats super nice and pretty

lunar dagger
#

Friend of mine's tiktok

#

This is newport

#

i think this vid def captures newport's vibes

#

This is NOT UCI's vibes though whihc is ironic because this is like 5-10 mins from uci lmao

#

also if you go to UCI ur gonna need a car

#

UCSB everyone bikes

fresh veldt
#

u cant do jack without a car at uci

lunar dagger
#

It's true everything is only accessible by vehicle

fresh veldt
#

and im definitely not getting a car in college LOL my parents dont want me bringing down a car

fathom gazelle
#

for your major

lunar dagger
#

bro i got into SD and waitlisted SB

tawdry furnace
lunar dagger
#

I got into SD for Human Bio which is amazing

fathom gazelle
#

no but if you got in both

lunar dagger
#

hmmm

#

I'd have to actually weigh my options because social life wise I would pick SB any day

#

But I'm premed

#

Meaning I am gona have to miss out on a lot of moves and shit

#

because i'm gonna be studying or whatever

#

But being on campus where everyone is just lame would really make me go insane though.

fathom gazelle
#

don't take my advice too seriously but if I was premed I'd go to a more social school first then focus more on my studies and be less social after undergrad

lunar dagger
#

yeah well i still have like 9 schools left

#

and i'm really hoping for ucla waitlist i'm actually sweating on this waitlist statement

balmy raven
lunar dagger
#

yes that was what i was discussing shine thank you

opal smelt
#

I feel like commuter school isn’t really a good definition

fathom gazelle
lunar dagger
opal smelt
#

that implies that like they’re living from home and commuting every time

lunar dagger
#

UCI students are losers to say the least

opal smelt
#

it’s more housing is better outside of campus

lunar dagger
#

It's a stereotype but it defintiely isn't inaccurate

junior coyote
lunar dagger
#

UCI girls are baddies though tbh my cousin can attest to that

balmy raven

uci is great tho

the campus is clean

it's pretty
