[safe hamlet]

I heard transferring from a 4 year or another UC is really hard

UC to UC transfer

[tulip relic]

yeah

[jaunty void]

what is ccs 💔

[tulip relic]

community college is the best

[median shoal]

college of creative studies at UCSB

[zealous bane]

did u send your enrollment deposit yet?

[tulip relic]

wdym

[vernal patrol]

yeah it is

but like

[zealous bane]

bc ur prefrosh

[vernal patrol]

i think thats cause its hard for ur courses to be transferabble

to uc;s

im gonna ned to hope my aps give me a good amount of credit

[tulip relic]

community college to uc is easy

[vernal patrol]

yeah

but like

i kinda wanna be socially active 😭

not commuting all

[tulip relic]

fr

sjsu is a commuter school

😭

[jaunty void]

how do you change roles

[vernal patrol]

[crimson cloak]

My actions: admitted

[vernal patrol]

[jaunty void]

nevermind i'm stupid

[vernal patrol]

[jaunty void]

[vernal patrol]

[crimson cloak]

@median shoal what abt u

[median shoal]

yes

CONGRATS

[vernal patrol]

cause two ppl tryna make friends tg gets easier

[median shoal]

THATS HUGE

[median shoal]

same i was also admitted

[safe hamlet]

I heard if for example they only offer a specific major at Berkeley and at ur current UC they don’t then it’ll help?

If u wanna transfer

[vernal patrol]

wait deadass??

im in this situation

with santa cruz

where did u read this?

[safe hamlet]

This is coming from my counselor

So take with a grain of salt

[tulip relic]

that’s why community college -> uc is the best route 🤷

[vernal patrol]

does he have any sources or any

[safe hamlet]

she and I can ask tomorrow

[vernal patrol]

yeah high acceptance

[vernal patrol]

ok bet bet

wait r u insate cali

[safe hamlet]

Cuz it’s also a bit similar for me with my major

[vernal patrol]

or was the neu person

[vernal patrol]

yeah

[safe hamlet]

Yep in state

[vernal patrol]

im aero major

but sc doesnt have aero

i got in for ce

iif that is true then i would very much do that

[safe hamlet]

That may help u with ucsd

And me with berk

My specific major is only offered at berk

[frigid blade]

i applied to berk for some rando major

[vernal patrol]

its nay of the uc's?

or just ber

[safe hamlet]

no any I believe

[vernal patrol]

cause like all my uc's have aero except river sb and sc

oH BET

EVEN BETTER

[safe hamlet]

But lemme research a bit

[vernal patrol]

if u can find a backing up source on this pls lmk

[safe hamlet]

gotchu

I’ll ask my moms friend too LOL

😭😭

[vernal patrol]

LMAO

thx

my counselor never told me anything like ts

[vagrant sundial]

if that's true that might actually be my saving grace getting into ucsd without doing cc transfer

[vernal patrol]

LOL SAME

ive never heard of this

so im kinda spectical of it tho

[safe hamlet]

Me too lowk I can’t find anything online

my counselor lying fr

[vernal patrol]

oh 💀

[vernal patrol]

it says ts

[safe hamlet]

Maybe it’s because in your piqs as a transfer you can say ohh ucsd has this major but at ucsc they don’t

Like it would be a more impactful reason for them to consider u

Because the UC mindset is why would you wanna transfer if you’re already at a UC so u need a legit reason?

[vernal patrol]

ohhhh yeah

if thats deadass the case

i might just go ucsc and get my general eng courses out the way

[safe hamlet]

LOL I’ll see u there then😭🙏

[vernal patrol]

LMAOOO

what major?

[safe hamlet]

Oh shit I forgot lemme check

Global and community health

[vernal patrol]

ohhh

and what major r u tryna do?

r u a premed major?

[tulip relic]

same here as an applied math major 😭

[zealous bane]

if you're deadset on ucsd i'd go cc

[tulip relic]

same

i’d just go to cc

[vernal patrol]

idk

[safe hamlet]

Ill probs switch to ucsc legal studies major i wanna do more law stuff

[vernal patrol]

ohhhh

why not poli sci

isnt that a populalr major for pre law

[safe hamlet]

Yeah but I’m not like other girls 😻

[vernal patrol]

LMAO

[safe hamlet]

No jk I just prefer legal studies to poli sci

[vernal patrol]

ohh

r u prelaw?

[safe hamlet]

But ucsc doesn’t offer international studies/global studies

But ucla and berk do

[safe hamlet]

yep

[worldly spire]

hi guys, uci for public health or ucsd for general biology (not sure what to do in the future)

[vernal patrol]

ohhh

[vernal patrol]

ucsd

[safe hamlet]

ucsd

[vernal patrol]

general bio

(totally not a biased)

[safe hamlet]

UCSD is more stem focused I feel

and could offer more versatile opportunities

[worldly spire]

hmmm okay

[zealous bane]

uci is more bio focused iirc

[safe hamlet]

Did u get waitlisted to sd?

[vernal patrol]

[safe hamlet]

Uchicago giving away anything except acceptances

[vernal patrol]

[vernal patrol]

LMFAO

LMFAO

UR TEACHER CHILL ASF FOR THAT

BRO DID NOT CARE

[safe hamlet]

Our heater broke in my math room and gave us blankets to use

[vernal patrol]

LOL

😭

[zealous bane]

i used it to manifest UCI and then i proceeded to get waitlisted

[vernal patrol]

senioritis got us all in apgov/macro

[zealous bane]

surely demand is low

because supply sure is high

[tulip relic]

whenever my macro teacher announces anything my classmates lose their shit 😭

[vernal patrol]

we finished macro

macro was honestly light

i find gov harder

[tulip relic]

im taking macro rn

[vernal patrol]

like macro frqs r basically just doing 1+1

but thats prolly cause i have a horrible attention span

[tulip relic]

macro and gov are taught by the same teacher at my school (she's the only who teaches the subjects)

[vernal patrol]

and loose interest after 5 secodns of reading some boring text

[vernal patrol]

same we have two teachers

they bout to crash out anyday

[zealous bane]

my gov teacher chat gpt's the tests and the assignments

[vernal patrol]

one his current students just comes in a diff period and takes like 5 tissues from the box

for fun

💀 💀 💀

[vernal patrol]

this was my apcsa teacher bro

last year in april

[zealous bane]

😭

[jaunty void]

is this just a commonality among all gov teachers or what

[vernal patrol]

he said to chatgtp frqs on all 4 concepts on the frqs with a rubric and answer key and said i will be using these as quizzes for my students next year 💀

[jaunty void]

cause that's what my gov teacher does as well

[vernal patrol]

hes too lazy to even cahtgpt the asseents himself

[zealous bane]

that same gov teacher proceeded to "accidentally" drop everyone's final down to 0 points because a couple people cheated

[vernal patrol]

bro had us students doing it

[jaunty void]

so i just ask chatgpt to make a quiz out of the study guide he gives us and study off of that quiz

[zealous bane]

it got on the front page of some subreddit

[vernal patrol]

like everyoen got a 0 percent

or what

or the final was just dropped

[zealous bane]

like he set everyone's grade on the final to a 0% for a whole weekend

had everyone freak out

[vernal patrol]

holy ragebaiter

[zealous bane]

and then claimed he did it on "accident"

[vernal patrol]

10/10 ragebait

[zealous bane]

i was deadass about to throw hands

[tulip relic]

my gov/macro teacher hates chatgpt

she gives off lots of extra credit

[zealous bane]

damn i wish that was my gov teacher

i think everyone hates him

[vernal patrol]

bro

we had a physics quiz in e&m last week

basically for question we didnt have enough information to solve the problem so everyone was fuckig confused on question 5-6 and apperently we just had to use the information from question 4

IT DIDNT EVEN SAY ON THE QUIZ QUESTION 5-6 IS A CONTINUATION OF QUESTION 4

LMAO

😭

[tulip relic]

he sounds lazy lmfao

[zealous bane]

😭

dawg wtf

[vernal patrol]

like no one knew u had to use the info from question 4

[tulip relic]

thats evil

[zealous bane]

he might be

[vernal patrol]

cause its not labeled as parts a b c and all shit

😭

[zealous bane]

he also lost 100 pounds over the span of 3 years

[vernal patrol]

and i was sittting their in the quiz

how do i fucking do this

so i mad enumbers up in my head

[zealous bane]

so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vernal patrol]

bro the thing is is 5 ppl asked during the quiz about it and she told them but didnt decide to tell the rest of the class about it

💀

like if u hv 5 ppl asking u abt the same thing u might wanna clarify for the class

LMAO

and then we had our rotations test 1.5 months ago and our teacher forgot to provide us the rotational inertia values for the object with 5 minutes remaining in the test

💀

[tulip relic]

thats so evil

[vagrant sundial]

bro on my last math test one of the questions said something about how many mondays there are in a year and i swear a good 6 people went up to ask how they were supposed to know how many monday's there are to a point she had to tell the whole class how many weeks there are in a year and then someone still went up and asked her

[jaunty void]

😭

maybe they were asking if there was a leap day or smt

[vernal patrol]

LMFAO

52x7 = 364

somethings missing bro

[vernal patrol]

yeah

we get 0 curves in the class

[vagrant sundial]

perhaps but i feel like for a test that doesnt give special circumstances you're to assume every day of the week occurs the same amount

[tulip relic]

brutal id go insane 😭

[jaunty void]

yall get curves 😭

[vernal patrol]

in my old hs this old retired berkeley physics prof teaching ap physics c mech & e&m

and its basically a free A for those students

cause the ap physics c teacher ran away from my old hs

[tulip relic]

[jaunty void]

i applied 0 ivies

[nocturne vector]

How hard is it to get off ucsb waitlist for data science

[zealous bane]

i applied one

cornell please

[jaunty void]

public ivies accept me 🙏

[zealous bane]

i mean

ucsd is a public ivy...

[tulip relic]

yeah

[jaunty void]

deadass

[tulip relic]

all ucs really

aside from merced

[jaunty void]

nah merced is R1 as well

[tulip relic]

yes in just 2 decades

[zealous bane]

but its not one of the public ones

[sick quarry]

i mean all of the ucs are public ivies

[zealous bane]

the public ivy thing is stupid asf actually why is riverside there

[jaunty void]

aight nvm

[sharp oak]

guys my dad just told me he could pay TWENTY EIGHT K PER YEAR TOWARDS COLLEGE

[sick quarry]

aside from merced

[sharp oak]

i've been operating under the notion that he's paying ten

[zealous bane]

wait omg congrats

[tulip relic]

your dad sounds sweet

[zealous bane]

are u going to go to a diff school? or still csulb?

[tulip relic]

^

[jaunty void]

that moment when the "financial aid rewards" are parent plus loans

[sharp oak]

i already turned down ucsd and uc davis cuz of money 😭😭😭

[sharp oak]

i don't knowwwww

i'm gonna start crying this is evil now i actually have to choose

[tulip relic]

fr

id cry too

[sick quarry]

i'm sure u could probably email admissions abt it

[sharp oak]

contenders over csulb are UCSB, UCLA, and UC Berkeley

[tulip relic]

isn't uc like 15k per year instate

[vernal patrol]

doesnt mean anything

[zealous bane]

email admissions office, see if you can get back

[vernal patrol]

40k w everything combined

[sharp oak]

not worth the time i wasn't gonna go

[jaunty void]

that's tuition only

[sick quarry]

idk if they would let u undo it but might as well if u want to go to either

[mild lagoon]

i'm gonna be in sm debt my mom is contributing $2k per year and didn't tell me the amount until AFTER i applied to college 💔

[charred trellis]

I was summoned

[jaunty void]

i swear people only look at tuition and think that's the cost of living

[sharp oak]

nah i'd rather go to UCSB than sd or davis and i got in today

[tulip relic]

my parents are willing to pay 50k

[jaunty void]

that's what i used to think 😭

[tropic minnow]

About 44k for in state

[sharp oak]

UCs are 46k

so i have to front 17k

[tropic minnow]

Thats prior to financial aid

[jaunty void]

for oos i think it's like 80k

[tulip relic]

ah

[sharp oak]

avi i'm gonna cry

[tropic minnow]

About this yeah

[sharp oak]

you know my finaid situation

[tulip relic]

yes

[sharp oak]

it has changed significantly

[mild lagoon]

I think i might get good aid but idk my financial situation is rlly weird

[charred trellis]

UCSB released today?

[tropic minnow]

Liana I'm sorry to hear that your dad didn't properly inform you how much he could pay

[tulip relic]

yes

[tropic minnow]

Do you want to try emailing the schools you rejected?

And explain?

[charred trellis]

I would've definitely gone there if UCSD wasn't an acceptance

[jaunty void]

yeah they're weird

[charred trellis]

ngl I loved that school

[sharp oak]

it's alright!!! i wasn't gonna go

[sharp oak]

i would've chosen ucsb over both and i got into sb today

[zealous bane]

same here

[tropic minnow]

Oh ok well that makes it a bit better

[tulip relic]

anyway assuming ive been rejected from la/berkeley in the upcoming days ill probably commit to santa cruz/riverside as my back up until i hear back for my davis/irvine waitlist decisions

[tropic minnow]

Nice! Are you gonna go there?

[sharp oak]

SB ling is very language documentation focused which i really like

[tropic minnow]

Whats that entail

[zealous bane]

im committed ucsd unless i get a big acceptance

[charred trellis]

Don't assume. You could get in

[sharp oak]

i don't know

i have to figure out how to pay 17k

[mild lagoon]

csulb is great if u end up going! my supervisor and my spanish teacher went there

[tulip relic]

ty

[sharp oak]

documenting endangered languages

[tulip relic]

praying everyday

thats cool

[tropic minnow]

Your finaid package hasn't been released yet I presume

?

[sharp oak]

which is manageable...

[tropic minnow]

Oh nice

[tulip relic]

like those native american languages/village langauges in africa?

[tropic minnow]

Is that 17k a year

[sharp oak]

noo but i'm not getting anything

[tropic minnow]

Or total

[zealous bane]

17k a year is def doable

[sharp oak]

yea pretty much

[tulip relic]

yes

[sharp oak]

per year

[tulip relic]

thats so cool

[sharp oak]

it is! it is kind of a lot

my dad doesn't want to take out PLUS loans

[charred trellis]

Depends

[tropic minnow]

Did your fin aid come out?

[sharp oak]

not for ucsb but generally i haven't gotten money

[tropic minnow]

Presumably you also want to do grad school

[sharp oak]

ucsd and davis gave me 0

[zealous bane]

def more so compared to like 40k a year

[sharp oak]

yea, masters in ling probably

[tropic minnow]

Did FAFSA say you were eligble for work study?

[sharp oak]

i have time to decide

[tropic minnow]

Ok so be careful on the debt

[sharp oak]

idk let me check

[charred trellis]

I pay around 40k total per year

[tulip relic]

i am

[charred trellis]

tuition + housing +living expenses @zealous bane

[midnight vine]

could you take out loans?

[tropic minnow]

I would suggest looking into work study, that will make it easier to get on campus jobs and research positions that can help pay

[charred trellis]

though it's better than paying 40k just in tuiton

[midnight vine]

work study would cover up to 6500 i think

[tropic minnow]

But even if you don't get them, still look into those

[zealous bane]

oh icic

[midnight vine]

also liana

UCs arent 46k that you pay upfront

at cal it's about 35k (16k tuition + 19k housing)

and im in one of the cheapest housing options

so you should be fine w your dad paying 28k + getting like 6.5k from fws

[tropic minnow]

Well she's gonna also have to take into account SB's housing situation

[charred trellis]

Damn that's pretty cheap. I was paying around 38k when living on campus at SD

[tropic minnow]

Which is not the same

[charred trellis]

SB guarantees 4 year housing I think

[charred trellis]

at least that's what I heard when I went on a college tour way way way back

[tropic minnow]

Its only freshmen

[sharp oak]

i probably can't take out parent plus loans

[tropic minnow]

They could not offer 4 years

[sharp oak]

at least not many of them

[charred trellis]

oh it changed then

[tulip relic]

if i choose part time work id choose a diner or retail

[tropic minnow]

Like its physically not possible for them to do that

[midnight vine]

it depends on your housing option

[charred trellis]

I was living in dorms for 2 years

that too in a double

[midnight vine]

yeah i'm only in the dorms for one year and in the cheapest one

[sharp oak]

i'm literally gonna cry stop oh my god

[tropic minnow]

I think I'm paying about 32k tuition and housing

[midnight vine]

next year housing is cheap asf bc i'm moving off campus

[safe hamlet]

I’ll also probably commit to sc if I don’t get into any of my next 5 reaches!

[sharp oak]

i have disregarded berkeley as an option for me for MONTHS

[charred trellis]

La Jolla ain't cheap lol.

[midnight vine]

in a good way right

[sharp oak]

both

[safe hamlet]

I’ll see all u sc people there 😻

[midnight vine]

why both

[sharp oak]

i'm very overwhelmed right now

[charred trellis]

Hey a buddy of mine got into Berk and got WL'd at Davis

[sharp oak]

because choosing is hard...

[charred trellis]

you never know

[midnight vine]

if you come here don't take ling 100 w garrett

[sharp oak]

i disregarded it because of finances not acceptances

[tulip relic]

thanks 🙏

[tropic minnow]

Remember to take deep breaths

[midnight vine]

well actually he's not bad just monotonous

[tropic minnow]

Rahhh see you in the forest maybe

[charred trellis]

Oh :|.

[sharp oak]

i put my heart and soul into my UC application if they reject me it's whatever

[tulip relic]

manifesting i get into berkeley, taken off the irvine and davis waitlist

[safe hamlet]

Forrest rave!!

[sharp oak]

i'm 7/7 with the UCs right now :p

[charred trellis]

Everyone does, College admissions are a game of luck after you press the submit button 🙂

[sick quarry]

i'm 1/1 with my ucs rn

[charred trellis]

My best record was 7/9... you could guess what the 2 missing ones are 😛

[midnight vine]

oh fair, maybe take a step back from a2c and college stuff to breathe and lmk later if you have questions about berkeley or fws! i have 2 fws jobs so i could help you w that

[sick quarry]

if we extrapolate the data this means i'll get into all of them

surely

[sharp oak]

with all the stuff i'm seeing i feel like my 7 acceptances will mean i don't get la or berk

[tulip relic]

mine is 5/9 😭

assuming my 2 waitlists count

[zealous bane]

did u only apply to one?

[tulip relic]

still waiting for berk and la

[sick quarry]

like of ones that have gotten back to me

[zealous bane]

i'm technically 3/6 based on acceptances, assuming waitlists count im 6/6

[mild lagoon]

1/5 with ucs and 3/5 with waitlists 😭

[charred trellis]

Not necessarily, I got 7 but WL'd at Berk. Would've been 8/9 if they took me in

[late hedge]

Doesn’t mean anything

[tulip relic]

ucs are random

[sharp oak]

you're right

[charred trellis]

so true lol

[sick quarry]

idk unironically i think they have to use a rng for uc applications

[tulip relic]

ik santa barbara probably rejected bc they i would not fit in their environment 😭

[zealous bane]

did u not apply

[charred trellis]

Nah SB is super small.

[tulip relic]

i applied

lmao

[late hedge]

Ucs are just a little wild with their acceptances

[mild lagoon]

No i'm actually surprised i got on the uci engineering waitlist but ucsb environmental studies rejection

[zealous bane]

we love the university of coke sex and beer

[sharp oak]

ucsb never sent out an email lmao

[tulip relic]

fr it’s been 4 hours

[zealous bane]

good luck with your decision o7

u should probably open that soon 👀

[late hedge]

only applied to 5 got 2 As and 1W for ucs

[tulip relic]

thanks cheers to berk/la

[late hedge]

so so far so good

[tulip relic]

rejected lmao

[charred trellis]

Tbh I got UCSD Engineering admit and UCSB/UCI Engineering WL initially. Not really surprising ngl

[zealous bane]

oh 😭

[sharp oak]

i'm happy i found this out AFTER getting into ucsb cuz i rejected sd and davis and those would be my backups after SB

[tulip relic]

at least you’re loving santa barbara

[late hedge]

yes that’s good timing!!

[tulip relic]

that’s great

yeah

[charred trellis]

I'm assuming you're committing to UCSB at this point?

[sharp oak]

it's alright i'm okay

the upfront costs of 35k.... is that for every UC?

[charred trellis]

give or take yes

[late hedge]

yeah pretty much

[tulip relic]

yeah

[sharp oak]

well i don't know if i get into berk or la

everyone that has seen my app has told me i'm a shoo in for berk

[tulip relic]

don’t listen to them

[charred trellis]

Ummm....

[jaunty void]

who is seeing your app even 😭

[zealous bane]

hope

[tulip relic]

anything can happen at this point

you’ll get it

[sharp oak]

i know chancemes are stupid but my UC application is pretty strong

[tulip relic]

embrace what will happen to you next week

[tropic minnow]

Somewhere around there, extra costs will come out to about 10k but if you manage it well it might be doable

[sharp oak]

i spent 6 months on my PIQs

[tulip relic]

i cooked on my piqs

[mild lagoon]

my piqs are lowkey mid ngl

[charred trellis]

I'd say hold off from saying that

[tulip relic]

to the point i talk about pokemon and persona in them 😭

[jaunty void]

i did my piqs last 6 hours before the duedate

[mild lagoon]

lowkey...same...

[sharp oak]

i mean i'm only acceptances so far

but yea i should still expect rejection

9/9 would be insane

[tulip relic]

fr

for me it’s 3/9

[late hedge]

it’s okay I talked about my battle against a chicken

[charred trellis]

Tbh I thought the same... UCLA and Berk destroyed my ego

[tulip relic]

rejected 2 waitlisted 2 pending 2

[late hedge]

that I lost

[sharp oak]

ucsb is something i'm completely happy with.... so atp rejections don't matter

[late hedge]

PIQs are the wild Wild West of college essays

[tulip relic]

yes

[zealous bane]

6/6 including waitlists please let me be 8/8

[tulip relic]

vanilla compared to commonapp’w chocolate and sprinkles

[charred trellis]

Tbh my PIQs were literally my commonapp essay broken into 3

[zealous bane]

LMAO

[mild lagoon]

my common app was so heat i'm sad the ucs don't accept long essays

[tulip relic]

5/7 for me including waitlists i still have berk and la pending

[jaunty void]

7/9 including waitlists 🙏 I HATE IRVINE

[midnight vine]

more or less! you might also be able to find some scholarships to apply to

[charred trellis]

Tbh I did too buddy... I did too

but you'll get in

[tulip relic]

praying i somehow get berkeley

[zealous bane]

but muh abgs...

[sharp oak]

username updated....

[charred trellis]

I hate Berkeley more

[tulip relic]

or at least taken off the waitlists of uci/ucd

[jaunty void]

i need abg heaven and seaside and vaping and raving

[tulip relic]

queen

[midnight vine]

and also (at least) for berkeley, most people pay cheaper from the second year bc off campus housing is cheaper!

[sharp oak]

ohhhh alr alr

[charred trellis]

UCI WLs actually move pretty fast 🙂

[zealous bane]

raving is overrated unless ur drunk

[late hedge]

Real one of mine was just my common app shrunken

[midnight vine]

no way you're ling+math, thats literally what my roommate is doing lol

[tulip relic]

yeah i heard decisions come out a few days after the april 15th deadline passed

[midnight vine]

ling+math w french and calteach minors

[sharp oak]

actually i plan on rooming with a friend i have that lives in berkeley right when i get there

[sharp oak]

oh sick!!!

[midnight vine]

so no dorming?

that'll be cheaper as well

[charred trellis]

Thing is, I got none of my common app schools except for ASU. But that common app essay worked for UC's 🤣

[sharp oak]

now my rejections will hurt just that much more

[mild lagoon]

i've gotten both my common app schools that were released so far

[midnight vine]

i have faith in you for berkeley

[jaunty void]

my essays were mid as hell 😭 ion think i got UCLA in the bag

[tulip relic]

THE MOMENT I GET BERKELEY I WILL COMMIT

[mild lagoon]

But all i have left on common app are reaches 😭

[tulip relic]

😤😤😤

[sharp oak]

are you the person that sent me essays in the fall

someone did

[charred trellis]

Tbf my common app schools were mostly reaches. The schools that shocked me were GTech and USC. GTech mostly cause I thought they were about the same difficulty as UCSD. My dad was told me he'd never send me to GTech the minute I got into UCSD

[midnight vine]

maybe

[sharp oak]

whoever did was very helpful

[late hedge]

OKAY SAME! The two privates I applied early two both rejected me but ucs are liking my piqs so who knows

[midnight vine]

oh it was me

[charred trellis]

I wrote one of my essays on surfing Wikipedia ok, you can't be more mid than this

[zealous bane]

my essays were alright, my ecs are mid, my grades are ass, surely i will get into berkeley

[midnight vine]

essays are everything

[charred trellis]

Maybe you will 🙂

[midnight vine]

roommmate had mid ecs, 4.0 though and awes essays and got in

[jaunty void]

essays = mid
ecs = little to none
grades = impeccable

i'm cooked

[sharp oak]

i don't know if my essays are awesome but i'd say they're pretty good

[midnight vine]

grades dont mean shit for berkeley tbh

[jaunty void]

they love ecs more than anything

[charred trellis]

yeah I mean everyone and their mom had 4.0s coming in that's why

[midnight vine]

premeds out here not knowing how to add or count valence electrons...

[sharp oak]

my stats :p

[mild lagoon]

essays: mid, ecs: pitiful, grades: good

[tulip relic]

my essays are alright (2, 3, 5 and 6) my ecs are something (4 activities and 1 award and the activities are all hobbies i’ve been doing since at least freshman year) my grades are a rollercoaster especially starting in 10th grade

[midnight vine]

i'd say essays matter more

[late hedge]

I think my essays are pretty good and my ecs are average for ucs

[muted bay]

goddamn

[midnight vine]

talking about your ecs in your essays >> your ecs themselves

[sharp oak]

i hope so i didn't do research over the summer for nothing

[jaunty void]

excluding freshman year?

[warped dome]

god damn thats rlly good

[mild lagoon]

LMAO i put tiktok influencer on mine too

[sharp oak]

UCs don't look at freshman year

[warped dome]

ucs dont count ts

[midnight vine]

manifesting the best for you!

what does ling research look like

[sharp oak]

thank you!!

[charred trellis]

I didn't talk about my EC's(ok maybe 1) in my essays

[jaunty void]

well fluff

[tulip relic]

wishing the best for you queen

[late hedge]

Oooo those are nice dude

[tulip relic]

my essays are mid ngl 😭

[midnight vine]

i put my ig profile w like 5k followers on mine lol

[midnight vine]

actually not even 5

i think it was like 3

[sharp oak]

this is phonetics specifically

[midnight vine]

ohhh

[muted bay]

damn whatt 3/4 of my essay centered or at least mentioned my ecs

[warped dome]

wait this i know also works at that lab

LMAOOO

[midnight vine]

same

thats the norm dw

[sharp oak]

WAIT WHO

[warped dome]

dms?

[tropic minnow]

Is she becoming a teacher?

[tulip relic]

one of my ecs involves me doing psych research and i draw and keep up with my original characters who will be part of a comic im making

[sharp oak]

yes

[midnight vine]

yeah hs math

[charred trellis]

Everyone has their own unique formula ngl. Just cause mine barely used ec's in the essay doesn't mean that you should too...

[sharp oak]

wait i'd wanna do this too

[tropic minnow]

Very cool!

[midnight vine]

hs math teacher?

if you get in you should talk to her lol

[tulip relic]

i reference my ecs in my essays but i don’t talk about them much lol

[late hedge]

I have 1 summer research internships at a biomedical research institute, school prez and a popular art account and that’s the big ones

[tulip relic]

one of my ecs is being a moderator for an art/video game discord server of 2000+ people which i’ve been doing since freshman year

[charred trellis]

And you don't have to.

[jaunty void]

one of my ecs was going to the gym 😭

[tulip relic]

true

[mild lagoon]

my best ec is social justice organizing and being a volunteer lead, also had a job but i don't have any fancy awards outside like pvsa and ap scholar

[zealous bane]

i should have put my hobbies as my ecs

[midnight vine]

there's nothing you have to do in your app tbh

[sharp oak]

it's one of my top career choices for sure

[late hedge]

the rest are like normal— sides CA Governors medallion for artistic distinction

[midnight vine]

i padded my ec list hella

i put duolingo on ts

tbf i have a 700 day streak

[tulip relic]

i only have 5 ecs

[late hedge]

that’s my only impressive award

[charred trellis]

If you made that into a story and tied it to UC values, I don't see why there's anything wrong with it.

[midnight vine]

i would've thought something wrt ling

[jaunty void]

nah i made a piq about my microscopy hobby and tied it back to my love for biology

[vernal patrol]

i put 17 EC's?

[jaunty void]

gym was pretty minor

[vernal patrol]

and got rej everywhere by the UC's lol

[late hedge]

me too

[sharp oak]

ling jobs are either not my thing or practically unattainable

[tulip relic]

one of my piqs was about how games like persona inspired me to write stories while researching and learning about the injustices and social issues the characters face in the games themes of systematic corruption and discrimination

[late hedge]

12 activities 5 awards

[charred trellis]

I tied my love for surfing Wikipedia to learning about Chemical Engineering. Similar formula 😄

[jaunty void]

j*bs 🤮 can we ban this trigger word

[zealous bane]

i've been into true crime for a while, and i tried to solve a couple cold cases a while back (linking unidentified bodies to missing persons cases)

wish i could've found a way to reference it on my uc apps 😭

[jaunty void]

what's a job 😭

[charred trellis]

This job market sucks lol.

[zealous bane]

wrote about it on my commonapp essay tho which was pretty sick

[warped dome]

even santa cruz and riv?

[charred trellis]

Barely out of HS and worrying about jobs... I'm cooked

[midnight vine]

yeah thats fair

[zealous bane]

i think i had 10 ecs for the uc and like 3 minor awards

[warped dome]

LMAOOO trying to solve true crime is wild.

[jaunty void]

i had a job in the middle of first semester senior year but quit

[warped dome]

i respect it

[tulip relic]

i have 4 ecs and 1 award for my uc and commonapp

[mild lagoon]

that's so fire! i played P5 last summer

[warped dome]

true crime is too cool

[zealous bane]

fr
lwk considering getting back into it

[tulip relic]

ann and ryuji are my good luck charms and comfort characters

i always think about them when im sad

[zealous bane]

p4 on top

[warped dome]

did you listen to podcasts or just do a deepdive of ur own

[tulip relic]

chie and kanji >>>

[mild lagoon]

i have p4 reload but it crashes my bummy "gaming" laptop

[tulip relic]

p3?

or are you talking about p4 golden

[mild lagoon]

p3 omg Typo

[zealous bane]

deepdive of my own: went on NamUs and DoeNetwork and tried to match an unidentified body to missing person's cases

[zealous bane]

frrrr

[warped dome]

thats actuall so cool. do you have any fav true crime case?

[tulip relic]

istg persona characters always have that charm that can put a smile on someone’s face

[jaunty void]

i'm addicted to true crime youtube vids

[sharp oak]

if i go 9/9 im gonna frame my piqs and become an online college counselor

[tulip relic]

SAME

[tulip relic]

that’s great

[late hedge]

soooo real

[tulip relic]

i’m doing the same for my discord art server 😭

[midnight vine]

(me when i went 4/4)

well not to that extent

[zealous bane]

hmmm not really - if i had to say one i'd say swimsuit boy (one of dean corll's unidentified victims)

[midnight vine]

but i became more confident w helping people out w piqs

[sharp oak]

which 4 did you apply to?

[tulip relic]

ngl regardless of the results the uc application process has inspired me to help people with their applications for ucs this fall

[late hedge]

piqs better than other college essays change my mind

[midnight vine]

kid i helped got into berkeley eecs early!!

[tulip relic]

yesss
