All UCs (2024-2025)

[slate mountain]

i honestly dont know which ones to pick as my major

i appreciate any advice

[ornate abyss]

human bio

ofc

[worn aurora]

UCs don’t yield protect

[midnight vine]

same

[midnight vine]

there should be flexibility to change easily no?

[worn aurora]

I know biological science department at ucsd is capped so if you want to switch you’ll need to go through the capped major process

[midnight vine]

oh

[karmic rock]

you usually apply as a pre nursing major

[dense epoch]

wudnt it be better to apply nursing direct tho?

[shy saddle]

Bachelor's or master's or PhD in nursing?

[deft thorn]

For UC essays, should the essay prompts be like all related or is there a smart way or you can choose anything

Every person has a creative side, and it can be expressed in many ways: problem solving, original and innovative thinking, and artistically, to name a few. Describe how you express your creative side. For this essay, can I talk about me making a go kart from the literal scratch?\

[shy saddle]

They're all related by the subject: you

[shy saddle]

Yeah

[deft thorn]

alright is it also fine if I talked about robotics club like for one prompt completely and half for another one?

[shy saddle]

Don't repeat information. You don't have space across the 4 essays.

[shy saddle]

Uh like leadership in one and creativity in another? Idk. Probably fine.

[deft thorn]

Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes, or contributed to group efforts over time. I talked about leadership

Think about an academic subject that inspires you. Describe how you have furthered this interest inside and/or outside of the classroom.Talked about Engineering as an academic interest, talked about robotics and model rockets

[slate mountain]

yes yes im applying bsn (direct) for ucla and uci

but idk for the rest of the campuses

:(

[slate mountain]

bachelor

[slate mountain]

do u suggest bio or chem for UCs that dont have bio

im also much better at chem than at bio 💀

[slate mountain]

ic ic

i might just follow the rankings if i still cant decide

[dry pollen]

It doesn’t matter pick whichever you want

You can change very easily in college

[frosty ibex]

for uc piqs do y'all think they care a lot about whether you answer the question precisely or is it okay to use the topic of the question as a starting point to talk about something else that is still relevant to the qn but doesn't entirely answer what the qn is asking?

sorry that was a very long sentence

3. What would you say is your greatest talent or skill? How have you developed and demonstrated that talent over time?
   like if i talked about a skill and challenges arising from using that skill (not challenges in the process of developing it) is it too off-topic 🤔

[worn aurora]

No, the prompts themselves are vague on purpose so as long as you think your response best represents you then that’s fine

[frosty ibex]

awesome, tysm!

[ornate abyss]

unless u want to do cs after picking bio

[dry pollen]

I’d be careful with biochem/chem though cause with colleges that have college of biological sciences, chem/biochem won’t always be in that college so it may be hard (depending on the college) to switch)

[dry pollen]

Most people who want to go into nursing aren’t cs majors

[deft thorn]

Can someone check my 3 UC prompt answers so far please

[slate mountain]

okay, thank you so much 🥹

🦕

okay so if im leaning heavily towards bio in ucsd

is my ranking of the colleges good:
muir
sixth
seventh
marshall
eighth
warren
erc
revelle

[dry pollen]

I would put erc bottom bottom

I thought Marshall was more for engineers

[slate mountain]

ahhh i heard from reddit revelle is like the absolute worst

[slate mountain]

okay ill move it down above revelle

[dry pollen]

Revelle is chill for bio

Like it’s not ideal

But it’s fine

Lots of premeds are in revelle

[slate mountain]

🫡 oki

[silent nymph]

If a course you took isnt on the a-g course list is it required of you to put it in awards and honors

its home economics

[cyan fog]

Its ok if my UC activity list and PIQs have overlap right

[high bronze]

Yes

[high bronze]

If it doens't align through a-g just don't include it at all

[tidal birch]

bro what

why is time passing by so fast

i swear a couple days ago i registered for classes

[tulip relic]

best ucsd college for stats/psychology (developmental)?

[burnt ridge]

yes

in fact thats very good

[midnight vine]

im not actually

[midnight vine]

why

[tidal birch]

oh

what’s the spring schedule lookin like

i got cooked with a 4:30 pm enrollment time

[marsh sparrow]

embarassing

(i got a worse time)

[tidal birch]

??? no way did u get the day after

[marsh sparrow]

yes

😭

i have all waitlists rn

0 enrolled classes

[tidal birch]

dawg what

[marsh sparrow]

also i slept through my time because i played poker till 4 am

good hustle team

[midnight vine]

if they let me time conflict enroll in the mcb class

[midnight vine]

dawg no way

which ones

[tidal birch]

bros taking c8 after cs61a

curious why

or is it specifically for the data sci topics

[midnight vine]

c8 last sem clashed w another class and that class was a freshman/soph seminar so it wouldn't be offered this semester

and i knew c8 is offered every sem

so i was like eh

[tidal birch]

wait ur taking 1b?

[dense epoch]

is berk cs classes good

[midnight vine]

yeah

[dense epoch]

helpful

i mean

[tidal birch]

i could’ve sworn u were in 53 no?

[midnight vine]

its different from how i learnt it in hs

[dense epoch]

but anyway helpful

[tidal birch]

very independent tbh

it’s what u make of it

[midnight vine]

like in hs i never learned recursion or higher order functions but i learnt data structures

[dense epoch]

fck ok

[midnight vine]

but here i learned recursion before data structures

but i find the class very interesting

and very challenging

you cant afford to fall back fs

[tidal birch]

it’s hard to fail the class tho

[midnight vine]

and grading bins are hard

[midnight vine]

are you stalking me in the calculus server

[clever barn]

I just got my portal for UC Riverside, do I need to re-enter all of my academic history, test scores, activities, etc?

[midnight vine]

ah yeah

thats my roommate

she's a math major

[tidal birch]

no i just remember u talking about 53

[midnight vine]

.

[tidal birch]

ngl i have never opened that calc server

i don’t pay attention to math

it’s just me in a 1v1 with cs

[midnight vine]

lol

no im not taking a math this semester

[tidal birch]

but u have 1b credit no?

[midnight vine]

no

i did calc ab

[tidal birch]

ah

[marsh sparrow]

ugba 101a/b, math 54, nustcx 11

[marsh sparrow]

FUCK RECURSION

KILL ME NOW

[tidal birch]

u lowkey shoulda taken 1a this sem for a gpa boost lol

[marsh sparrow]

guys im doing my sql lab rn and idk what to do

i might chatgpt it

😦

[tidal birch]

never attended a discussion a single time this sem and aced all quizzes

[midnight vine]

i heard everyone gets into nusctx

[marsh sparrow]

its online

idk

im pretty far back on WL

[midnight vine]

just siwtch to a different section for math 54?

[marsh sparrow]

think theyre all full

[midnight vine]

the 9 am one has a bunch of seats

[marsh sparrow]

id rather jump

[marsh sparrow]

yay yay yay

[tidal birch]

i just checked there’s a bunch of seats

[midnight vine]

lol

[marsh sparrow]

nice

i will not be taking a 8am or 9am discussion

[tidal birch]

is discussion mandatory

just don’t go if it’s not

[midnight vine]

9 am lecture

[marsh sparrow]

not sure if it is

also did any of u guys do the skuydeck intern fair

[marsh sparrow]

would also rather jump

[tidal birch]

me when 8 am math 1b lecture

[midnight vine]

optional

[midnight vine]

recorded

[tidal birch]

i am skipping that lecture

[midnight vine]

FUCK I MEANT TO

[marsh sparrow]

gruh

you missed it

[tidal birch]

i just hate the idea of doing our midterms in there at that time

[marsh sparrow]

i woke up at 8am for the first time in 2 months

[marsh sparrow]

yawn

im trying to be a good student next sem

[tidal birch]

cause idk why they don’t make it like other classes that have a dedicated time at night

[midnight vine]

was it good

[midnight vine]

oh true

[midnight vine]

most of my classes do it during class time

only cs doesn't bc its longer

[marsh sparrow]

ehh it was alr

some people had bad englihs but ill do anything for a internship

[tidal birch]

one perk of the 8 am lecture tho is that we get the final at 7 pm and not 7 am

[tidal birch]

i tell myself this every day

[marsh sparrow]

😦

[midnight vine]

do you think itll actually help

[marsh sparrow]

im trying bruh

[marsh sparrow]

anything for the resume

some of them are genuinely really interesting

i hope i get those

others idk

[midnight vine]

i dont think skipping lectures is indicative of a bad student

esp for me bc i focus more when i watch the recordings rather than going to lecture bc i watch them on 4x speed

so the irl lectures are too slow for me and i end up getting distracted

[marsh sparrow]

i dont watch the recordings either

oops

[midnight vine]

yeah but my point is you can take the 9 am lecture then watch recordings

you're a good student and you're not wwaitlisted

[marsh sparrow]

hmmmmmm

true

we'll see

[tulip relic]

me watching this chat knowing i have not finished my app yet:

[noble kraken]

nah cuz the essays aint even hard

i just dont wanna write them

[tulip relic]

im almost there my piqs are in the final stages

they feel so easy yet so hard at the same time

[noble kraken]

blud 💀

you ahead of me

i got 3 piqs left still

[tulip relic]

there's like 10 days left until the app closes

lock in

[midnight vine]

the piqs are extremely fun once you get the hang of it

[tulip relic]

so far ive been going well

once im finished editing id like someone to review them 🤭

[noble kraken]

ik ill do 1 today hopefully and then 2 on sunday

[tidal birch]

my honest reaction to seeing “those who don’t go to discussion is always an indicator of a bad student” in the syllabus

[silent nymph]

Oh rly??

[noble kraken]

i dont like editing cuz lowk it turns out worse when i edit

[midnight vine]

what majors are yall applying for

[midnight vine]

discussion is vastly different from lecture

i've never skipped any of my discussions

only left early once for a conan gray concert

[tidal birch]

i wouldn’t know 💀🙏

[tulip relic]

my main is statistics and my alt is psychology (in the case of ucsd it's developmental or cognitive psychology)

[noble kraken]

💀

[midnight vine]

do you skip discussions

[noble kraken]

the one that makes you go 💀

[tulip relic]

conan's music is so good

[tidal birch]

never attended one once except for quizzes cause it’s mandatory

[midnight vine]

v cool!

[midnight vine]

yeah all my discussions are mandatory

[midnight vine]

REAL

[midnight vine]

cs?

[tulip relic]

fight or flight is my fave

[noble kraken]

yeah

[midnight vine]

interesting choice

[noble kraken]

well for berkeley i put eecs first but same thing basically

[midnight vine]

im more of a family line / people watching / alley rose / astronomy girlie

[tulip relic]

ASTRONOMY IS ALSO SO GOOD

[midnight vine]

if you get in and decide to come to berkeley hmu for some cool geneds

[tulip relic]

it's one of my faves too

[noble kraken]

alr but both are unlikely options just so yk 😭

[tulip relic]

if i somehow end up in berkeley i may as well end up encountering my brother in the wild

[noble kraken]

as in:

1. it's unlikely i get in
2. if i get in, it's unlikely i go

[midnight vine]

why for 2

[tidal birch]

can’t believe dead week is soon

[noble kraken]

out of state

and also expensive

but we'll see

[midnight vine]

ahhhhh

[midnight vine]

there's literally only 1 week of classes left

like wtf

im so sad my classes are ending :(

[tulip relic]

my dad is a california resident and im going to work while in college

[tidal birch]

ikr

kinda sad about it too

didn’t think i’d say that

[midnight vine]

not to disillusion you but jobs here are hella competitive

start applying early

[noble kraken]

im just doing berkeley and la rn

should i do sd?

[tidal birch]

also

[tulip relic]

yes

[noble kraken]

prob not right?

[midnight vine]

sd is goated for cs i've heard

[tidal birch]

they’re actually just making up stuff now

[tulip relic]

sd is notable for cs/engineering

[midnight vine]

ucsd was the dream school of a guy on my floor who's an eecs major

[midnight vine]

BRO I SWEAR

LIKE BE SO FR

[marsh sparrow]

lolol

[noble kraken]

true and i want to do comp bio and its really good for that

[marsh sparrow]

@tidal birch wdyt of me taking shrooms week after thanksigivng to lock in for finals

is that stupid

[noble kraken]

but idk if it should even be considered cost wise

[tulip relic]

im doing mathematics probability and statistics at ucsd if i am admitted

[noble kraken]

like

idk

[midnight vine]

he didnt get in to sd but he got in to berkeley eecs lmao

[noble kraken]

im in florida btw

[tidal birch]

my dumbass friend did that for midterms and got cooked 💀

[midnight vine]

go to #🏡-verified-village , there are kids here

[marsh sparrow]

bruh

they said

[noble kraken]

how 💀

[marsh sparrow]

my friend said it gave them motivation and clarity

[tulip relic]

play stupid games win stupid prizes

[marsh sparrow]

😦

[midnight vine]

berkeley's the most holistic uc from what i've heard

[tulip relic]

what about la

[marsh sparrow]

that is true

thats how idiots like @tidal birch got in

[tidal birch]

also yeah can confirm sd is goated for cs

[marsh sparrow]

👍

[noble kraken]

ok thats good cuz lowk don't have a-g

[tidal birch]

mf

crayon eating major ahhh

[midnight vine]

most stats heavy i've heard 💀

[marsh sparrow]

LOL

[midnight vine]

real

[marsh sparrow]

also true

la is huge on gpa

[midnight vine]

fqngz can you color within the lines

[noble kraken]

i wish i could do cs

[marsh sparrow]

no

[tulip relic]

thats essentially why i didn't apply to ucla

[marsh sparrow]

thats next year

[noble kraken]

but with a diff group of ppl

💀

[midnight vine]

wdym

[noble kraken]

like its just all swe ppl

[tidal birch]

bros midterm is to write down 5 words he can spell

[noble kraken]

i feel like

[tulip relic]

me with my 2 cs in first semester of sophomore year:

[midnight vine]

"write down five words you can spell"
fqngz: "write","down", "five", "words", "you"

[midnight vine]

lwk for berkeley cs in cdss might be less swe people

bc a lot of people doing cs in cdss double in l&s

[noble kraken]

fr?

well

[midnight vine]

with unique ish stuff

like cs + ling or cs + psych

[noble kraken]

eecs -> cdss should be easy transfer surely

right?

[marsh sparrow]

agreed

[midnight vine]

whereas people in coe usually double in coe

[tidal birch]

erm

[marsh sparrow]

it makes more money than almost any other major in berkeley though

[midnight vine]

idk tbh cdss by itself is very competitive

[tidal birch]

i dunno about that one

[marsh sparrow]

nowhere else can you do so little and make so much

[midnight vine]

like they might tell you just to take cs in coe

[noble kraken]

should i switch my preference

😭

[midnight vine]

you have more humanities / social sciences classes in cdss

so if thats something you're interested in

[tidal birch]

some dude i know tried to double major in cs and eecs

like what

[noble kraken]

i do like some humanities yes

[midnight vine]

shouldn't there be a lot of overlap b/w classes

[noble kraken]

but i wanted to do bioE maybe as a double major

[midnight vine]

i know a guy triple majoring in cs/ds/stats lmao

[noble kraken]

but ive also heard that double major = scam

[tidal birch]

his advisor just told him it’s not allowed at all

[midnight vine]

oh probably apply to coe then

[midnight vine]

why

[tulip relic]

i heard ucla's nursing program is less than 1%

or around that

[tidal birch]

sounds about right

[noble kraken]

no job needs a double major so you're just wasting time and money

[tidal birch]

it’s goated after all

[midnight vine]

yeah but you need to be smart for that

[marsh sparrow]

for what

[midnight vine]

yeah but you can go into jobs in both of your majors

[noble kraken]

i have eecs first and cdss second rn

[midnight vine]

business related careers

[tidal birch]

lol that’s exactly what i had

[marsh sparrow]

plenty of jobs need double majors

what is blud saying

[tulip relic]

so you can pick any majors for your alt and main regardless of their department?

[marsh sparrow]

no you dont bruh you can get into IB with no hard skills

you just need to talk and think fast

[midnight vine]

and you're not really wasting money if you plan your schedule well

[marsh sparrow]

the technicals are laughable

[midnight vine]

i could graduate w a double major in 3 years

[noble kraken]

those aren't my words just stuff ive seen

[tropic minnow]

Just wait until they drop the Berkely battle pass winter 2025 ultra delux edition woke liberal Soros fee

[midnight vine]

i mean depends

i know a junior who came in as bio and is now switching to media studies

[noble kraken]

but how are people doing triple majors at berkeley

i thought it was hard

[midnight vine]

so if you switch your majors junior year you might be cooked

but if you come in w a plan

[tulip relic]

TRIPLE MAJORS?

[midnight vine]

yeah my friend's doing cs, ds, stats

[tulip relic]

ive heard of doubles but triple is new

[marsh sparrow]

people can triple at other schools

like keg from a2c is tripling at uchi

which is unfucking real

[midnight vine]

depends on overlap b/w them

[tidal birch]

triple majors here are a lot more common than i thought

[midnight vine]

i really really want to triple major

[tropic minnow]

Yeah overlap really helps

[noble kraken]

oh damn

[midnight vine]

but my dad heavily discouraged me from doing so :3

and i'd have to take summer classes which i dont wannt to do

[noble kraken]

what are your majors rn

[marsh sparrow]

its so pretty outside

is your dorm the only one ic ant see @tidal birch

[noble kraken]

wait nah bro selected "all of the above" at cdss

[tidal birch]

i live in anchor house

[marsh sparrow]

[tidal birch]

can’t wait to leave this shit ass place called berkeley in a couple days 🙏

[tropic minnow]

Bro is miserable

[tulip relic]

my brother comes home this upcoming tuesday

[noble kraken]

wait so should i do eecs or cdss cs

[tidal birch]

depends

what’s ur goal in life

either way u do cs classes

[noble kraken]

unemployed and wealthy but

besides that

[midnight vine]

do you like coding or do you like cs from an interdisciplinary pov

[noble kraken]

prob want a career in computational biology

[midnight vine]

tbh the weather is really gloomy

its already dark out and its 5

[noble kraken]

the latter

[tidal birch]

i’d argue eecs

[midnight vine]

you cant go wrong w either tbh

[tropic minnow]

Fair

[tidal birch]

but yeah ^

[midnight vine]

bc its either eecs + bioe or cs + mcb

look at the exact courses

[noble kraken]

whats mcb

microbio?

[midnight vine]

bc eecs is a lot of ee/physics stuff

[tidal birch]

microdbdbanjigoloy

[opal igloo]

molecular bio

[midnight vine]

molecular and cellular biology

[noble kraken]

ahh i took a class in that once

[midnight vine]

and if you only like coding you might not like that

[tidal birch]

oh yeah eecs u gotta take physics if that’s a deal breaker or something

[opal igloo]

if you're going for comp bio i'd say go for eecs + bio

[noble kraken]

thats the thing i wanna do eng but idk about ee

[tidal birch]

but that’s mainly it

[midnight vine]

lwk this might be the strat

[noble kraken]

ive only taken physics 1 and am doing mech rn so idk what to base it on

[midnight vine]

bc for l&s you'd have to do the breadth requirements anyway

[tidal birch]

you’ll be fine tbh

[midnight vine]

yeah i wouldn't stress

[noble kraken]

ah ok

[midnight vine]

there's not a lot of difference in classes

[tidal birch]

both paths are versatile

[noble kraken]

i might drop an app in ucsd too

[tidal birch]

and yeah very similar

[noble kraken]

depending on my mood next week

[opal igloo]

go for it

[midnight vine]

which state are you in rn

[noble kraken]

florida

[tidal birch]

u should drop an app for ucsd

[noble kraken]

the greatest state

[midnight vine]

ah

[tidal birch]

goated for cs and bio

[opal igloo]

^^

[noble kraken]

alr i will ig

[tidal birch]

honestly ucsd bio > berk bio

[opal igloo]

real

[tulip relic]

i mean ucsd is THE science college

[noble kraken]

any other ucs i should look into

[tidal birch]

davis

another goat for bio

[opal igloo]

maybe SC

[tidal birch]

sc looks so fun from my friends perspective

[noble kraken]

wait this is cool

[tidal birch]

meanwhile i rot

[midnight vine]

i think the consideration here is whether those schools are worth going to over florida instate / other cheaper oos publics

[tidal birch]

oh ur oos?

[midnight vine]

dawg im having the time of my life you just need to go out more

[tropic minnow]

I do know our science programs in general are very strong

[tulip relic]

i heard ucsd is good in psychology

[tropic minnow]

So I'd say so

[noble kraken]

oh wait they got this asw

[noble kraken]

yeah

[tidal birch]

i did and now my pants are drying on a rack and i’m missing a meeting

[midnight vine]

wheres this

😭

[noble kraken]

ive gotten into ucf honors so far

[midnight vine]

thats not what i meant 😭

also you have a drying rack????

rich ahh mf

[noble kraken]

sd

[tidal birch]

aka my chair

[midnight vine]

oh

[tidal birch]

i so can’t wait to move into an apartment tho 🙏

[noble kraken]

yeah exactly

[midnight vine]

real

[tropic minnow]

Can it not be put in a dryer

[tidal birch]

to reignite my cooking hobby

[midnight vine]

there's no dryer

[noble kraken]

like gatech really appealing to me rn cuz its close and good

[midnight vine]

like

why would you put just one cloth in a dryer

[opal igloo]

why not

[tidal birch]

i am not paying 2.50 for dry pants 🙏

[midnight vine]

idt there's any harm in applying esp for the UCs bc its the same application but its your call

[midnight vine]

money

[opal igloo]

yall gotta pay for laundry??

crazy

[midnight vine]

you dont???

[opal igloo]

not my school ❤️

[tulip relic]

if i applied to caltech to say i would last a day there would be generous ngl

[tidal birch]

yeah freak public’s

[midnight vine]

its $4.50 for us for one load

[tidal birch]

i should be up north

[opal igloo]

CRAZY

[tropic minnow]

Merced is the only UC I know that offers free laundry

[tropic minnow]

Damm

[midnight vine]

my prof's a caltech graduate

[tidal birch]

were the only uc that pays that much too

[noble kraken]

just the app fee but ig thats insignificant to the tuition

[midnight vine]

i ration my clothes so i can take it home 💗

[tidal birch]

every other uc is cheaper by like 50%

[opal igloo]

i thik the only time i have to pay for laundry is in london but that's bc we get apartments kinda

[midnight vine]

tbh if you're applying oos anyways you probably have money to spare lmao

not to say you should spend it

[tropic minnow]

it's like a dollar to a wash, a dollar and 25 to dry

[midnight vine]

but i wouldn't overthink the decision especially for sd

[marsh sparrow]

poker

[opal igloo]

you addict

[midnight vine]

yeah there was a petition

[noble kraken]

yeah

[tidal birch]

i signed that petition as fast as i can

[tulip relic]

im gonna try to get my brother to review my piqs

[noble kraken]

and you know what they say

[midnight vine]

how much money have you made since coming here

[midnight vine]

REAL

[tidal birch]

that’s matcha money going to waste

[midnight vine]

god i love matcha

[noble kraken]

99% of A2Cers stop RIGHT before they get into a t20

[tulip relic]

matcha is LIFE

i love it

[midnight vine]

fym 90% of a2cers go to t20s

[tropic minnow]

I'm pretty sure we'd riot if they raised the cost of the laundry

[midnight vine]

ok im exaggerating

but

[tropic minnow]

Thats something I appreciate

[tulip relic]

t100

[opal igloo]

t50s

[noble kraken]

t20 consists of like 50 colleges atp

[tidal birch]

paying for laundry as berk bills me a “existence fee” of 400 dollars

[midnight vine]

student services fee

like whats the rest of the money for if you arent servicing me???

[marsh sparrow]

1.1k

[midnight vine]

i NEED instate next sem

[marsh sparrow]

😦

[midnight vine]

damn

good shit

[tidal birch]

bro what are they doing THAT COSTS 850

[marsh sparrow]

ty

[tidal birch]

like ain’t that’s what tuition for

[opal igloo]

at least you're getting your money up ig...

[tropic minnow]

Will you get it or no

[midnight vine]

ideally yes

bc i meet all the requirements

[tidal birch]

WHAT IS RESILIENCE?!??

[midnight vine]

the only reason i didnt get it last sem was a technicality

[opal igloo]

wtf are all these fees tf

[noble kraken]

alr i locked in

[midnight vine]

at least you dont have this

[tidal birch]

?!? i thought u qualified for in state

[midnight vine]

not yet

deadlien to apply is dec 15

need to lock in

[marsh sparrow]

get out

ur not applying to ucs

[tropic minnow]

Not in state moment

[noble kraken]

tf

thats insane

[marsh sparrow]

what a tragedy

[midnight vine]

they're gonna take it away trust

[opal igloo]

school owes me 800 dollars life is good

[noble kraken]

blud didnt let the application simmer

[midnight vine]

i paid all my fees and it says balance $0 but i owe the school $250 so uhhh we're cooking?

[tulip relic]

me

[tidal birch]

god damn ur literally more than twice

[sharp oak]

hiiiiii!!!

for those that go to a UC, how hard is it to switch into engineering from film?

[noble kraken]

bro the major options are insane

they're so good

[tulip relic]

they have like 8 branches of psychology

[burnt ridge]

yeah I love UCSD major options

[tulip relic]

fr

[burnt ridge]

the specialisation is very fire too

[tulip relic]

true

[burnt ridge]

cause like

its admit by major too

so

like hopefully

[tulip relic]

theres a lot that goes into each science

[burnt ridge]

i would commit ucsd or ucb ucla

[sharp oak]

???

[midnight vine]

its actually the 6753 plus the 17k lmao

[burnt ridge]

which uc?

[tulip relic]

for me it's just sd and b

[burnt ridge]

if its a top tier uc it will be difficuly

[tulip relic]

im out of la's league bc of stats

[sharp oak]

any one, just whatever you go to

[tidal birch]

😦

[burnt ridge]

i think UC Merced/ Riverside may not be hard to swithc into eng but the other ucs prolly hard

[midnight vine]

for berkeley its impossible

[burnt ridge]

esp for ucla and ucb

[tidal birch]

may the chancellor have mercy upon thy

[midnight vine]

if you're instate i might as well apply

[marsh sparrow]

are you backdooring

[burnt ridge]

what does ts mean?

[midnight vine]

isn't liana linguistics

[sharp oak]

my friend wants to do film and engineering and likes film more, but worries that if she changes her mind she will be stuck

[tidal birch]

it’s gonna be hard for sure but not impossible

[sharp oak]

i'm not asking for myself lol

[noble kraken]

how bad is not having "f" course requirement tho

[burnt ridge]

bad?

[sharp oak]

no lol

[burnt ridge]

u dont qualify then bro

if u dont have f requirment

[tulip relic]

yeah

[burnt ridge]

u need all a-g

[tulip relic]

f is visual arts?

[noble kraken]

it says you can still apply

[sharp oak]

very linguistics

[burnt ridge]

uhm

[midnight vine]

apply to engineering then double in film?

[tulip relic]

you need at least 1 year of visual arts

[burnt ridge]

thats strange

you need f requirment

[midnight vine]

im taking a ling class next semester!

[noble kraken]

but ive done music stuff on my own and have taken an exam in it, just not one that's counted in their reqs

[sharp oak]

i thought that too, but she also doesn't have any EC background or strong stats for engineering

[warm relic]

W major

[sharp oak]

she has quite a few film ECs though

[tropic minnow]

You'll need it but talk to the campus

I didn't have f done when I applied

[sharp oak]

awesome! which one?

[tulip relic]

i currently have all subjects done 🤭

[tropic minnow]

But what happened is that the UCs simply told me to do it over the summer

Before freshman year started

HOWEVER

I was a very unique case for why I didnt have it

[tulip relic]

aside from english

[sharp oak]

guys i'm severely unsure about my career plans and i fear a linguistics major is not helping that

[tropic minnow]

So check with them

[warm relic]

Switching into ucsd engineering if it’s capped good luck

[noble kraken]

alr

[midnight vine]

intro to linguistic science lol

[tropic minnow]

Well thats what college is for, a time to learn what you want to do

[sharp oak]

oh awesome

[noble kraken]

but surely this should count for admission by exception right @tropic minnow

[sharp oak]

i suppose, but if i don't want to go into research i feel a little screwed for linguistics

[midnight vine]

at berkeley then i would recommend applying to film, then trying to add on analytics in l&s as a double major (analytics is really similar to industrial engineering but its not in the college of engineering)

[tropic minnow]

I don't know UC policy on that, thats why I'd ask

[burnt ridge]

uhm

[noble kraken]

ok ill call them next week prob

[burnt ridge]

you should prolly contact uc admissions today 💀

[sharp oak]

ngl idt she has berkeley stats

[tropic minnow]

Well there are other things you can go into, and if you're really uncertain, you can also double major

[burnt ridge]

cause you wont be allowed to apply without a F requirment

[sharp oak]

she has a 3.4 gpa i think

[noble kraken]

i doubt they'd reply rn

[midnight vine]

berkeley is the least stats heavy from what i've heard

[tropic minnow]

The visual arts requirement

[burnt ridge]

call

[midnight vine]

i mean idt there's harm in applying

[tropic minnow]

They're probably closed

[burnt ridge]

3.4UC Gpa?

[tidal birch]

there is no such thing as berkeley stats cause fangz is somehow in

[sharp oak]

true... but also double major in what

[sharp oak]

yea

[tropic minnow]

Whatever you want

[burnt ridge]

ah

tell her too cook on the essays

[sharp oak]

i was thinking cognitive science but idt that helps but more

[midnight vine]

what is bro on

[burnt ridge]

i guess explain ur story here

[midnight vine]

i went to linkedin and typed "fqngz" LMAO

[burnt ridge]

but id conact uc admissions first

dont take my word for it

[tropic minnow]

I think it was a joke

[sharp oak]

i will be helping her and the rest of my friends write them

[noble kraken]

ill call them if its open rn

i doubt it is

wait

nvm

[burnt ridge]

idts

[noble kraken]

california

😭

[tropic minnow]

Its not open now

[burnt ridge]

buisness hours end at 5pm

[tropic minnow]

They usually close at 5

[burnt ridge]

ur 25 minutes late

[noble kraken]

oh

[burnt ridge]

wait till modnay now ig

[tropic minnow]

They sometimes close earlier also

[burnt ridge]

what if they're open for extended hours

[noble kraken]

no it says 6 pm

[tropic minnow]

Because they wont pick up class somtimes

[burnt ridge]

like UCs?

[burnt ridge]

oh actually

give them a call rn

[tropic minnow]

I'd call either soon after they open or right after 1pm pst

Cause lunch will be over

[sharp oak]

guys my friend is paying me 50 dollars per PIQ to write hers... what's the most i can do that is still academically honest

[burnt ridge]

oh its 8pm in fact

@noble kraken

call

[sharp oak]

seperate friend, she's really bad at writing

[noble kraken]

yeah i am

[tropic minnow]

Oh I guess its special for right up to apps

[tidal birch]

prolly scamming them

most ethical thing

[burnt ridge]

yeah i was wondering if they had that

cause i know UT Austin did that

they had extended hours

[tropic minnow]

Yeah that makes sense

[tidal birch]

i refused to take my friends math midterm for 100 bucks

[tropic minnow]

If they're extending hours then I'd call them

They'll be open

[burnt ridge]

yeah

dont wait

cause ur losing 2 days

[sharp oak]

honestly i will

[dense epoch]

how abt a band

[sharp oak]

i'm scared of risking my apps

[tidal birch]

still nah

seeing them fail is priceless to me

[sharp oak]

guys i'm submitting apps tmrw im so scared

[tidal birch]

🙏

[tropic minnow]

Good luck I'm sure you'll do great

[sharp oak]

my piqs are done but idk....

[tropic minnow]

is it just SD and Berk?

[sharp oak]

me?

[tulip relic]

i’m submitting apps soon though i’d like to have my piqs checked over ngl

[tropic minnow]

Yeah

I'm just curious

[tulip relic]

like my piqs are in their final stages before i review and submit

[sharp oak]

i can look over them but i'm not a college counselor

[sharp oak]

i'm applying to 7

[tulip relic]

which ones

[tropic minnow]

Oh ok

[sharp oak]

everywhere except riverside and merced

[tulip relic]

i’m applying everywhere except la

[sharp oak]

why not la?

[tulip relic]

my stats

🤭

[burnt ridge]

bro has clearly not heard of viewing only 💀 🙏🏿

[tulip relic]

i have 2 cs sophomore year

[sharp oak]

i mean it's not like it would matter there's version history

[sharp oak]

upward trend hello

[burnt ridge]

i know someone who had 2 C's and got into UCLA soph year

u should be fine

[tropic minnow]

Ok time to go to some drug/alcohol talk for frats so I'll see you guys later

[sharp oak]

UCs love an upward trend

[noble kraken]

i just called

[burnt ridge]

give it a shot @noble fossil

[noble kraken]

she just said to explain

[burnt ridge]

u have nothing tooo lose

[noble kraken]

in addl info

[tidal birch]

typical UCSC student

[tropic minnow]

Brother please I wish I was drinking

[burnt ridge]

Bonjour Madame

[tulip relic]

i mean i got mainly a’s by the time i was in junior year

[tropic minnow]

The pre-professional frats stick to the rules

The rest dont but the pre-professionals from my time with them do

[sharp oak]

don't stress about stats

you could still get into ucla

[tulip relic]

i mean also have my ecs and piqs

[sharp oak]

exactly

[tulip relic]

my ecs while they are humble (literally just hobbies) i have leadership in them lol

and i’m proud of them

[marsh sparrow]

thats good

[sharp oak]

that's awesome

do you still want me to look over essays

[tulip relic]

yes until im done

[warm relic]

I put hobbies it’s fine

[tulip relic]

once im done ill dm you my google doc

[sharp oak]

kk

[tulip relic]

ty

[deft thorn]

Can anyone look over my essays pleasee?

[dry pollen]

Yeah

[dry pollen]

Would recommend not getting people your class to look at your essays

[dry pollen]

What rules 😭

[tulip relic]

then can i ask college students?

[marsh sparrow]

skull

[tropic minnow]

No alcohol

Or maybe they haven’t shown me it yet

Hopefully it’s just the latter and not being sticklers

[warm relic]

That’s probably better but you can still ask whoever you’d like

[tulip relic]

true though i have to take whatever advice people my grade level and below usually with a grain of salt

[warm relic]

😭😭😭

[dry pollen]

You can ask whoever you want it’s just my rec

[dry pollen]

Would you let a random a2cer in your grade read your essays

[dry pollen]

Our pre prof frats don’t gaf

[marsh sparrow]

no

[dry pollen]

Exactly

[burnt ridge]

personally

[tulip relic]

😭

[burnt ridge]

id patent my essays

but thats just me

[tranquil peak]

ummmmm anyone got uc app tips

[midnight vine]

dont overthink it

[frosty ibex]

lowk the piqs are fun to write because of how straightforward they are (i have only finished 2/4 ... might be delusional)

[lost oyster]

My piqs are goated

All about shrimp

I might lowkey be unique

(Delusional) ^

[warm relic]

Be yourself

[frosty ibex]

4 piqs about shrimp ?

[tranquil peak]

im like a shrimp i sit hunchbacked over my computer at 2am as i research electrical mechanics which is my dream job

[frosty ibex]

so real...

[tranquil peak]

literally ucb bound what can i say

[tulip relic]

also type like how you would normally speak

for me i just say the words i type out loud

[midnight vine]

real

[brisk basin]

I agree, but once you get rejected they seem less fun

[frosty ibex]

😰

[brisk basin]

This thread is way more fun in March man

Those were the days

[sharp oak]

stoppp i'm so scared for my decisions

how should i open them

also does anyone have the UC decisions calendar

[tidal birch]

erm

they vary a lot ngl

[sharp oak]

i know berk is on ivy day
