WHAT

harsh spindle
#

wtf

high bronze
#

Somehow the most I’d waited for food was like 5 mins

#

Actually nah like 10 mins in brown’s, 5 mins in GBC

tropic minnow
#

The fuck

#

What the hell

#

Your class is literally half of UCSC's undergrad pop bro

dense epoch
#

Ya this is why u come to usc

#

No having to worry abt waiting in long ass lines for food

pale spire
#

I like kinda forgot how massive the UC’s get

tulip relic
#

excluding merced which is barely 10K

pale spire

i honestly cant imagine what 40 thousand looks like

#

What clubs

harsh spindle
#

Undergrad Math Student Association and ucla backpacking club

#

Didn’t apply to any of the competitive ones because they all pretentious af

dry pollen
#

Very cool

harsh spindle
#

also coz none of them fit into what I intend to do in grad school

harsh spindle
#

I am already on the max units and work in the CS dept. so I didn’t have time for high demand clubs

dense epoch
harsh spindle
#

there they come again

#

I’m eating too healthy

harsh spindle
#

all that walking up the hill

high bronze
#

How’s the hill climb compared to Foothill at Berkeley?

#

Actually I would kinda know because I’ve been to both but haven’t had the student experience of the hill

latent scarab
#

UCLA is so overhyped it’s not bad

harsh spindle
#

Like it’s not you’re doing mountain climbing or some shit, it’s a casual hike

#

Also kinda needed given how unhealthy some of the food at the dining halls are

#

I usually just take the staircase coz I think it’s faster than climbing up the hill

#

Some people go back to their dorms multiple times during the day so they probably think it’s annoying

#

I have an 8 am but then I also study in the engineering lounge after work and stay there till 8 pm and then finally go back to my dorm

Cause cluster classes

midnight vine
midnight vine
dry pollen
# pale spire Wack

Bigger school doesn’t necessarily mean bigger classes šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

#

Also depends on your major tbh

#

Cause my roommate has like 80 kids in her major

#

And the major I want to do only has 200 kids

pale spire
#

Makes sense

sweet citrus
#

Yeah Davis is 30k+ total but the design major is less than 100 iirc

harsh spindle
#

but the clusters can be like 500+ people

tulip relic
#

cant imagine computer science and engineering class sizes for the ucs

#

like those probably are in the thousands

#

same with medical

high bronze

Data 8 is 1500 here

wait really?

high bronze
#

😭

harsh spindle
#

if you're tryna go from college --> engineering, then you need to take an engineering workload for like the first 3 quarters you're here and only then be able to petition to switch

#

likewise for engineering --> college

midnight vine
#

fall program for first semester

#

they take classes in a separate building and their class choices are limited

#

but it covers a lot of breadth requirements

#

and you cant opt out of the program

harsh spindle
#

one of my roommates was admitted as CS but wants to do pure math and is unable to enroll into graduate classes because engineering blocks him from adding grad classes to his study list

midnight vine
#

some people were given the choice of whether to be in fpf or not but others were just pushed into it without their consent

#

but smaller class sizes more of a community or whatever

harsh spindle
#

yeah clusters here are not like that

#

you enroll into a cluster if you want to or not, and if you want to cover the most GEs, you stay there for all 3 quarters but you can also just drop it after a quarter and get one GE done

dry pollen

You have quite a few choices + its optional

#

i dont have many ges to do though

#

just need r1a r1b and two humanities

#

and the ethics engineering

midnight vine
#

for me i only need to do phys and bio

wooden sierra
midnight vine
#

everything else overlaps w major requirements

#

phys im doing this sem, bio next sem

everything else including am cultures and the other stuff is done lol

#

Oh nursing, that’s like the most competitive to get into 😭

#

I prob don’t know the complete stats but I think the admit rate for nursing BS is like 0.5% or smthing

#

I wouldn’t know about how to transfer into there tbh

#

I must say though that the health and life sciences campus at ucla is very peaceful and pretty

#

There’s a botanical garden right next to the school of nursing and life sciences

#

It’s where all the nursing students and med students chill and hangout

#

I went to my math dept student services yesterday to get the go ahead to enroll into grad classes from either winter or spring

#

most grad profs here are chill with undergrads enrolling in their courses

#

(For math, can’t say much about the other depts)

dry pollen
#

They only take 40 to 50 people

dry pollen
#

There’s only a few ucs w nursing

#

All the nursing students are super cool though most are in my chem class

dry pollen
#

Every single one of my classes/discussions is there + Franz

harsh spindle
#

O

#

Yeah I am mostly on south campus

#

my classes are in math sciences and boelter

#

which is super close to engineering VI where I work so pretty convenient

slate mountain
#

i wish ucs had more bsn programs

#

instead of just ucla and uci

#

🄹

#

its a pretty demanded major no?

tropic minnow
#

I suppose it doesnt add anything the rest need

Does UC offer application fee waivers for international students?

tropic minnow
#

No the UCs will not cut costs for internationals

#

if i dont qualify for uc app fee waivers but have circumstances that may lead to me getting one can i appeal?

#

its bc theyre taking taxes from last yhear

high bronze
#

If you had the SAT fee waiver, you can use that to qualify for the UC app fee waiver.

#

Beyond that, I am not sure.

tranquil peak
#

its literally 4k

#

i had the sat fee waiver how do i use that to get free ucs?

high bronze
tranquil peak
#

im 4k over for qualifying

high bronze
#

you can also email the waiver

tranquil peak
#

umm where do i get said waiver

high bronze
#

Click ā€œMy SATā€ on the homepage. Then scroll down to see your fee waiver benefits. Click to print your waivers, and fill out the form that pops up.

i think at least

rancid grove
# tranquil peak its literally 4k

my counselor told me just to put a number close to it, i dont know if theres big consequences for this so maybe this is bad advice but i dont think it makes a huge difference if you put 4k lower

#

because i don't think they are going to take the effort to verify that number

tranquil peak
#

well if im doing fafsa i dont want it to show up as an error or smth

#

how bad is uc berkeley course selection

#

from my class of 2024 friends i heard it's hell unless u get a 9AM course selection slot

#

can any berkeley student confirm

#

and how can i get a 9AM or another really early course selection slot

midnight vine
#

but it depends on your major / what classes you're looking at

#

i got a 11:30 slot and got into every class but my cs class but during this phase called the adjustment period, all the reserved seats become unreserved so I was able to register in it then (everyone has a 9 am slot for adjustment)

bold bear
#

looking specifically for eecs and/or other engineering (like aero)

midnight vine
#

you'll be fine engineering classes are usually huge so have a bunch of seats

bold bear
#

what about the prereq classes

midnight vine
#
  • if you come in declared that'll be easier as well
#

for l&s we're undeclared so it's slightly harder

#

but in coe you're declared iirc

bold bear
#

my aero friend told me that he didn't get into one of the prereq classes šŸ’€

midnight vine
bold bear
midnight vine
#

no

bold bear
#

rip

midnight vine
#

your chances of getting a bad enrollment time twice are low

#

afaik it's not completely random like they try to alternate

#

like for spring I have a 9 am enrollment time

#

I may have priority tho idk

bold bear
#

oh

#

what abt the 2pm 2:30 or 3pm applicants

midnight vine
#

my roommate got 2 pm last time and 10 am this time

bold bear
#

dyk anyone who had those course selection slots?

midnight vine
#

yeah

bold bear
#

how hard was it for them to get into their desired classes

#

and do eecs classes have grad student or undergrad TAs?

midnight vine
#

at max you won't get into 1 or 2 classes

#

but for the most part you'll be fine

#

you learn to adjust and adapt accordingly

#

you're not gonna be forced to take biology classes all 4 years as an eecs major

bold bear
#

so eecs classes typically don't have prereqs that are hard to get into?

midnight vine
bold bear
#

i see

#

berkeley doesn't have cs now right? it's only eecs as of 2024?

midnight vine

no problem! gl with your apps and lmk if you have any other berk or uc questions

night shore
#

I would like to involve myself in the field of purchasing and selling of courses

harsh spindle
night shore
#

Oh are you able to directly exchange?

harsh spindle
#

i haven't done it because i get priority šŸ˜Ž

night shore
#

In the cc systems you can really only enroll in a course

#

Then whoever’s next in the waitlist will get it

harsh spindle
night shore
#

I see

#

The other idea would be to let the class go on while you’re on the waitlist then swap

#

Not sure though

#

Just some random thoughts

harsh spindle
#

i think the seniors will be able to explain it better but ye, i have seen posts on the r/ucla sub offering 300+ to reserve a class (because they had a later enrollment appointment)

night shore
#

Again this is more for cc knowledge I have no clue how enrollment works in other academic institutions

harsh spindle
#

for upper-divs, at least in the math dept, you can probably just get a permission to enroll code directly from the prof and override any system holdbacks

night shore
#

Yeah that’s what I was thinking

#

The issue is that the idea is contingent on the idea that the prof will let you bypass the other individuals on the system

#

But here ik it’s probably possible

harsh spindle
#

mhm

#

for some of the popular classes like 131a real analysis/115a linear algebra, i don't think profs will give out PTE and just let the system do its thing because there can only be so many people that fit into a lecture hall

#

however, for the honors sequence (like 131ah/115ah), i think you need a PTE from the beginning to be able to enroll, the system won't allow unless you have a 5 digit code to enroll in the class

#

at least that's what i had to do to enroll in my honors analysis class

night shore
#

That’s fair

#

I’ve never really had any reason to figure out the system

#

For other institutions that weren’t under the community college umbrella so

#

This is nice to see

harsh spindle
#

yeah

bold bear
#

like directly transferring classes between students exists?

harsh spindle
#

no, just have to coordinate the timing really well

sweet citrus
#

Over here that wouldn’t work

#

You’d have to be number 1 on the waitlist

#

I’ve seen people that are number 1 on the waitlist try to buy spots tho

midnight vine
#

i don't think it would work at berkeley as well

harsh spindle
#

i have never seen it in action tbf but i know people buy spots

#

offering 300+ to reserve is crazy though, i would take that offer šŸ’€

#

Yo chat I just wanted to give a quick lil calm information regarding UC admissions at least for UCSD/UCLA to my knowledge because UCSD and UCLA are extremely similar

#

Rule of thumb is if you get into UCLA you got into UCSD usually

#

Most ucsd admits who didn't get into ucla were waitlisted so they're same bucket

#

they use a ranking system of 1-5 in different aspects to determine your overall rank. 1 is best 5 is worst

#

this what they look for at least for ucsd

#

So when you are applying make sure to emphasize those things cause they are specifically looking for them

rancid grove
harsh spindle
#

plenty of ucla peeps that got rejected from ucsd and uci

#

I wouldn’t take this advice

#

since you only have 4 questions to answer and 9 different campuses, each of which looks for something that suits to them, I would just say submit an application that talks about you rather than tryna hack the system and set yourself up for failure with high expectations

Wait also how do u request for one

My best friend desperately wanted to go to ucsd, la or any SoCal school and she’s at Davis and she’s absolutely living it up

tulip relic
#

so one of my ecs is classified as volunteer work (discord server moderator) and im wondering if the aos do fact check the ecs

#

🤭

tropic minnow
#

Is it cause you don’t want them to know the server?

#

You don’t have to name it

#

In the UC ec discord example the server is not named

#

As such one can presume that the name of the server is an unnecessary component for the write up of that EC

night shore
#

What if I want them to know I moderate a fitness server with 20k+ people

tulip relic

Ah ok

Yeah you don’t have to say the name if the discord example is correct

also when i visited ucsd earlier this year i saw some christian missionaries(?) on the pathways

whats the chances of getting off the waitlist for ucla

because i was under the impression that only a few get off and theres thousands of people on the waitlist, but then my friend told me the chances are like 20% šŸ’€ for getting off the UCs waitlist

in terms of gpa i’m probably limited to santa cruz, riverside and merced unless they consider my honors classes bc my school does not allow sophomores to take no more than 2 aps and i took 5 honors classes lol

at least i have my passion for my ecs and essays 🤭

tropic minnow

They'll consider honors classes I believe

tulip relic

ah

even school ones?

you can see if they're honors-approved

tropic minnow

does this apply out of california

tropic minnow

Not sure but you can check your school

tulip relic

ah

high bronze
#

im not sure etiher honestly

tulip relic
#

my school hardly has much uc applicants but when they do they usually are admitted

#

anyway i’ll check with my school

tropic minnow
#

That makes sense because apart from Berk and LA oos and international applicants have an easier time

tulip relic
#

ah

tropic minnow
#

This is because schools use the fullpay oos and intls to pay for in state kids

tulip relic
#

hold up oos has a higher acceptance rate iirc

tropic minnow
#

Yes

#

Apart from Berk and LA that is true

tulip relic
#

yeah

#

anyway i’ll check in with my school even though do not live in california lol

tulip relic

ucsd (there’s a lot of coverage of his time there on the ucsd subreddit, even the ucsd newspaper (guardian) and san diego tribune talked about him when he transferred there)
purdue
florida state (current)

and allegedly ohio state (based on osu abbreviation as the schools he attends are generally very recognizable in some way) and texas a&m

midnight vine
#

he didnt go to purdue from what i read

#

he got in but then was rescinded

tulip relic
#

and he went off on purdue by snapchatting as he said slurs to them 😭

midnight vine
#

😭

tulip relic
#

like in his transfer to purdue he is required to state that he went to ucsd

#

that’s why he was rescinded though either way he wouldn’t have gotten in lol

#

like regardless if he actually does notify purdue about his enrollment at ucsd he wouldn’t get in bc of his atrocious reputation (his yikes-worthy social media and criminal record, the news articles about him at ucsd)

if relatives in california financially support me does that count as "financial independence" smile

fringe wyvern
# midnight vine no

so the only options for establishing tuition residency are:

  • parents live in cali
  • be financially independent
midnight vine
#

have a job that supports you wholly

#

im trying to establish residency rn and it's not easy

tulip relic
#

so my mom is trying to get my brother on board in helping me with my application like giving me tips

Get your parents to move there and you’ll get in state tuition for 2 years

UCLA

Quick facts about UCLA, known worldwide for the breadth and quality of its academic, research, health care, cultural, continuing education and athletics programs.

#

@high bronze The whole rundown of student population by UC, along with some extra data on med schools

#

Some of the UCs haven't released fall 2024 data yet

#

So some of its out of date, but I doubt any of those one have explosive enough growth to take over another UC

slate mountain
#

i didnt know uc had a limit for the amount of hours you volunteered

#

i have more than 200 volunteer hours but the maximum number i can put is 168

#

oh its per week

Thanks lol, I'll add the links since I got time to spare, and if any mod wants to pin it they should feel free to do so

Links added. Interestingly, while adding the links, I noticed that Davis's CDS and the UC data sets differ by two students. Minor, but interesting

I believe that is correct

Not all of UCLA is on the westwood campus though

Idk how yall UCs students do it, but I walked the path my friends goes to class, and it takes 20 fcking min

#

wtf

#

And I don’t think that’s the farthest

midnight vine
#

i dont walk more than 7 minutes

#

if its more than that, i take the bus

#

midnight vine
#

7 minute walk being long is crazy

tropic minnow
#

The longest walk I have is like 10 minutes

#

But general walking can be more

But its not bad

Davis is the largest by size but they don’t use half their land

Lots of it is ag stuff

#

The longest I have to walk is 15 mins but some of my friends have to walk 30-40

Also there’s the off campus property

mighty quail

trees are tough too

midnight vine
