I got this too so we’re def getting in 🥱

UCLA is already preparing for U.S.

#

very late but

i applied

ucm - sociology
ucr - actuarial science (alt: econ)
ucsc - global and community health 💅

#

just rn

#

will i go to any???? probably not

vivid glen
#

just rn?

night shore
#

yeah

#

theyre just throwaway apps

#

its likely i either get in or yield protected

#

my stats are above majority of students for those who apply there

vivid glen
#

Ohhh I see

night shore
#

they sent us an email if we'd like to apply and i decided to take a shot

vivid glen
#

all those three ucs are relatively easier to get into, u should be fine

night shore
#

or i get yield protected

glad aurora
night shore
#

my stats are beyond anyone's for those majors

#

the only thing i wouldnt have is ecs related to them

night shore
#

i am pretty sociology coded in my class list

#

ucr actuary scene is kinda mid though

#

it just has prep material for the first three exams

#

ucla has a lot more

#

like why would i go to ucr if i get into ucla lol

#

ucla has stuff for p, fm , ifm, ltam, stam

#

& has stuff for all the vee credit anyway

#

ucr just has a bare bones actuarial science program rn compared to other ucs

I got ucla supps

runic grail
#

It's amazing and if you didn't get supps then that means your application is currently on its way to the shredder

#

Your entire bloodline is also blacklisted from ever stepping foot on a UC campus now too

night shore
#

here’s my rankings for uc priorities rn

ucla > UCSD > cal/uci > UCR > ucsc > ucm

wet carbon
#

😭

#

insane

#

you want the abg/abbs 🔥

night shore
#

@ ucsc

wet carbon
#

o

night shore
#

Actually my drop off goes around the uci part

#

i would put ucsc higher if it weren’t for that fact

tropic minnow
#

Yeah cause you’re doing actuary but applied here for global health

#

So makes sense

night shore
#

i mean for my career my personal ranking would be:
ucsb (6 exams, actuary program, cae recognised) > ucla (5 exams, actuary program, NOT CAE/UCAP recognise but has been there longer, basically meets cae requirements) > ucr (new actuary program, ucap certified), uc berkeley (questionable, has like 0 real actuary presence but has a great statistical program) > everything else lol

#

but honestly these are all kinda just like whatever and mostly in terms of environment

#

if you really were good id honestly just run up the usual statistical program rankings

wet carbon
#

1

night shore
#

but exams are valued a lot

#

would rather take a kid with asa from a random named college

worn pelican
#

idk i was wondering if someone knew

night shore
#

we dont know

boreal rock
#

if i get admitted to UCLA college of letter and science("The college") with a intended major of data theory, can i change my major later on?

tropic minnow
#

Depends on the major from my understanding

boreal rock
#

for the college of letter and science they admit by school not by major if i am not wrong, so my guess would be it won't be that hard to change majors

night shore
#

Like the only majors you would reasonably switch into is sds, applied maths, math + something, pure math

#

math + something includes but is not limited to math econ, math comp, math actuary

boreal rock
#

so if i put my intended major as data theory, ill be able to switch to math comp right?

sharp oak
#

UCSD was lowk my fav but that's pretty unpopular

night shore
boreal rock
#

got it

night shore
#

generally the idea is that unless otherwise stated, assume you can't switch out

#

many exceptions to the idea though

boreal rock
#

ahh okay

solemn mason
# boreal rock ahh okay

the mathematics of computation baccalaureate programme at the ucla campus has different preparatory classes for the course compared to data theory. i find that it may still be possible to switch into the mathematics of computation programme. as parousia said, however, you want to assume that you will not be able to switch courses, especially at a university of california campus

boreal rock
#

i just got humbled from my rejections so changed my intended major from CS to data theory at UCLA

solemn mason

#

CS acceptance rate 2 years ago was just 3.2%

#

whereas l&s college admit rate was around 15

boreal rock
solemn mason
#

there are many differences between the two programmes

#

i wouldn't say they're one to one for that reason

#

mathematics of computation involves with having their programming classes in the computing department, whereas computer science has it in the... computer science department. computer science also has a mandatory logic design of digital systems class

#

these are just for major preparatory classes, by the way

boreal rock
#

i am not trying to find a substitue for CS

dry pollen
#

Cs is very very competitive

boreal rock
#

i was just checking if i can change my mind later on about my degree between data theory and maths comp

#

one more reason i don't want to do maths comp is its pretty much a maths degree with basic C++ programming (which i already know) so thats why went for data theory

tropic minnow
#

I recall someone saying February

#

I forget when exactly

wary python
#

How hard is it to change majors at UC schools?

tropic minnow
#

Depends on the major

#

For cs at all UCs its gonna be easier to switch out of than into

Fuck oos schools

Ucs take me

True!

You can get pretty good deals

Well what are you thinking about switching between

wary python
sly plover
#

Yeah

#

At orientation you can literally just tell ur like advisor person you want to switch

#

And they’ll do it for you

#

If it’s past orientation then you can just send the department a message on the like my.ucla page

#

And they’ll usually do it for you, sometimes they’ll have a form

But usually you just send a message

#

what abt double majoring? same process?

sly plover

I think there’s some rules about like officially declaring two majors cause they want to make sure you graduate in time.

But like I added poli sci to my biz Econ and all I had to do was send the department a message asking them to do it for me

tropic minnow
# solemn mason <@709855515286569063>, how do you find the santa cruz campus? do you enjoy it?

I like it a lot, starting to really love it. It’s a very calming campus, and I know for some people it’s helped with their mental health, personally has for me I think. Academic wise I think the programs I’m in (politics and history) are solid, very much underrated imo. Socially, it depends on the person. I have a social life I’m happy with, could be more active but I don’t mind what it is right now. Lots of stuff to do if you do your research and are actively involved.

tulip relic
#

for me i had math (stats and probability) as my first major and developmental psychology as my second

solemn mason
#

the transfer rates for health are pretty high

wet carbon

32%

that was last year

wet carbon
#

WAIT I APPLIED FOR IT 2nd major

tulip relic
#

ucsd’s general acceptance rate is around 25% for comparison

wet carbon
#

does that mean if i dont get into first major then i wont get that

solemn mason
dry pollen
solemn mason

public health is one of them

wet carbon

wait i did a "non-selective" major first

#

and a selective major second

#

huh

yeah

#

i swear i thought biz econ was difficult

tulip relic
#

though when you pick a selective major as your first you’re recommended to pick an alt major

if i have an alt major as selective i can still get in right

ik damn well once i set foot in college this fall i am avoiding greek life like the plague

tropic minnow
# tulip relic a combo of two questions what is the program about and what are the classes lik...

Not sure what the classes are like since I haven't taken one, I only have second hand knowledge from a friend taking a course on the Philippines, studying filipino culture and the diaspora and he loves it, as for what the programs are about how race, structures dealing with race, and race as an identity has influenced human history in a variety of ways, while hisc (history of consciousness) only offers a minor to undergrads because they focus on graduate students (very much a well respected program as a result) but they deal with the intersectionality of different human identities/issues caused by human identities and how they influence society. That's my understanding.

#

It depends on the context of your protest

#

Violating the law to protest is not protected under your visa

#

You have some protections but you're here by the grace of the nation being willing to let you study under US professors, its something given to you that can be taken.

#

So intls should be careful at any university if they wish to protest

pliant herald
glad aurora
#

yea they let u in to study not protest

#

also like the US is the hardest country to immigrate to for any purpose im not sure why you'd want to risk whatever rules the govt has because rest assured they take this very seriously

My understanding is that its fake

glad aurora
#

fake or not i don’t see why you’d ask for a visa to travel to a country you want to change it’s ways

#

and i say this as an intl

forest zodiac
#

well i think that a benefit of studying in the US is the fact that its bill of rights outlines that you can make your voice heard when you're discontent with the system

#

like if you and a group of other students disliked a university's decision on something you can create a petition or protest to make it clear that you disagree

tropic minnow
#

You have a right to participate in lawful protests, not illegal ones

#

So yes you could make a petition or protest but it would have to follow all rules and regulations

forest zodiac
#

like getting a permit and stuff i get that

#

but to my understanding wasn't the protest done by that student legal?

tulip relic
#

oh

#

when i think of student protests i am reminded of the vietnam war

forest zodiac
#

kent state 💀

tropic minnow
# forest zodiac but to my understanding wasn't the protest done by that student legal?

I'm not gonna go to in depth because its a political topic which we try to avoid on the server but the short answer is no. Orders for dispersal were given, the protest didn't meet UC standards for a legal protest (though the administration permitted the protest to continue), and there were legal issues due to actions taken (that from my understanding are still wrapped up in the court system).

UCs will not give much aid, the most I've heard is about 2-4k a UC and also UCSC has a scholarship where they will cancel the non-resident tuition portion saving you about 30k.

People said it is from Fox News but Fox News never covered such content

SJP at UCLA also made announcements that people who stayed for the protest after dispersal order are US citizens

#

So she is most likely a US citizen

Please do your fact check before spreading information

i know some people who apply for residency in their second/third year so it reduces the cost + others TA/RA to get remission

tulip relic
#

time to go job hunting like its the hunger games

#

might as well try to secure an apartment on the outskirts

midnight vine
#

you can find cheap apartments closer they're just tiny asf

i don't mind small spaces bc i live inside my bedroom most of the time

like i know people who aren't residents for the first two years but then become residents from the third year

Typically one of your parents has to live in ca though

Or have a loophole

i think you have to have a proper job for that though

and show that you can support yourself completely

#

Ik someone whose dad is contracted through this company which allows him to pay in state tuition

midnight vine
#

i wouldnt rely on them to commit though esp if you dont have parents here

#

but i think if your question is whether its worth it is subjective

dry pollen
#

One of my friend’s parents are either buying/renting an apartment in the state she goes to school so she can get in state

midnight vine
#

bc there are a ton of peope who will gladly pay almost $100k to private universities a year

tulip relic
#

if they're bearable then ill take it

midnight vine
#

and imo you could easily pay $80k to a UC and probably get a better education

#

depends on if you prefer privates vs publics though

tulip relic
#

if i get an apartment while in college and i happen to get a roommate all i need is that roommate not being like avaneesh

but yeah other states have much more lax requirements

thats a common occurence where i live

anyway if i somehow end up at a uc in college (like accepted this march) i will cry

UCs are great but not worth absurd amounts of debt that you'll spend your life paying off

tulip relic
#

true

#

though im a cali girl by heart

#

🤭

#

and i don't want to live in a house anyway

#

apartment is all i need

midnight vine

#

If you’re coming from OOS to a UC, you better be stacked in cash

#

That 80k is just cost of attendance and among other things it can pile up

ill admit i sometimes question my mom why we wouldn't just move in with dad

dawn remnant
#

yeah no it would be sm easier fir u too

tulip relic
#

true

dawn remnant
#

and maybe you couldve paid the first two years but like 3rd and 4th

wouldve been easier

tulip relic

Rahhh Banana Slugs no known predators I love Sammy!!!

#

Fun fact: Sammy the slug only became our mascot after students rebelled against the administrations choice of a mascot. When he was victorious and seized the throne, some students created an anthem to celebrate his victory.

I actually have the file of the song lol

It’s pretty good imo

is there a video that accompanies the song

is it just an audio file or is there footage of students singing it

tropic minnow

I only have the audio file

#

It was the 80s so I don’t think there’s a music video

#

Technically there’s the more official anthem the school made but I like this one more

Also banana slug is so peak for mascots
