I did penn northwestern columbia duke princeton harvard cornell
I think that's enough reaches
wraith hawk
I did penn northwestern columbia duke princeton harvard cornell
I just finished my Duke app a few days ago
That’s a ton of reaches yeah
Would Berkeley / UCLA be considered as reaches or targets
violet jay
add more of a personal aspect: why do you wish you couldve seen it
violet jay
Would Berkeley / UCLA be considered as reaches or targets
what major r u
wraith hawk
what major r u
I thought it was based off GPA
violet jay
I thought it was based off GPA
yes but also someone applying cs is competing with different ppl than someone applying literature
by different i mean like 10x more or something
wraith hawk
Double major Econ/Finance and STEM
Some schools have Econ others have finance
Whichever or
forest tapir
Some schools have Econ others have finance
def reach imo
wraith hawk
Berkeley’s Haas is renowned idk about UCLA’s
wraith hawk
but for most its reach
Sounds about right yeah
Berkeley more
I have a 4.5 GPA though idk how much that plays into it
wraith hawk
For the extracurricular short answer question, did y’all just pick one of your ECs from the activities section and elaborate on that
Or did you come up with something completely new
south spear
i just elaborated
wraith hawk
Yeah I’m stuck on that one
south spear
i talked about gamedev as a hobby/interest, in my activities section i wrote stats and numbers but in the short answer qn i wrote about how i enjoyed it the process of it
wind plinth
would it be fun and quirky to write my EC prompt about slam poetry in the style of a poem friends
south spear
that sounds kind of cute
wraith hawk
My state test essay prompt was on poetry
wind plinth
or would AOs want to crawls through the screen and strangle me
wraith hawk
Lol
wind plinth
that sounds kind of cute
RIGHT
i thought it was cute, and the prompt is only 50 words
but will AOs get that it's the style of a poem or am I taking a worthless gamble that wont even work

neon cave
I wanna talk about the Stanford organizations/clubs I'm interested in contributing to, but when I find one on CardinalEngage and look it up, it usually seems to be abandoned years ago. Do AOs care? I wanna talk about what I'd do in those clubs anyway
south spear
my favorite thing that i wrote is "pretending to be astonished at a surprise birthday party, even if i'd accidentally heard my friends talking about it earlier'
lol
wraith hawk
Is that the 5 things one
wraith hawk
“Saying “huh” after I clearly heard what the other person said”

wraith hawk

wraith hawk
Double Econ/Finance and STEM
Some sort’ve engineering degree preferably
Bro
If the school has an EECS ECE or CSE program I’m taking it
I don’t wanna take pure CS cuz competition’s gonna be deadly
wraith hawk
If the school has an EECS ECE or CSE program I’m taking it
So I’m going more of the outside route where I can still do CS without all the competition lol
Plus they have more math and technical skills which I like
lavish topaz

wraith hawk
So yeah I’m doing CS like you somewhat

one of my cousins was committed to davis before she made it off the sd waitlist she was like "davis's literally grasslands im not tryna go there"
wraith hawk
I think I have a good balance on California schools (UCs, CSUs) with Common App schools
- UCSD, UCLA, UCB, UCI, SDSU, CPP (Cal Poly Pomona)
- UT Austin, Duke, Stanford, NYU, UPenn, UMich, USC
I guess I could add some more Common App schools, maybe some safeties idk
wraith hawk
one of my cousins was committed to davis before she made it off the sd waitlist ...
She’s at UCSD now?

like what if the answer chatgpt gave you was wrong and that led you to dig deeper into how llms work and how they hallucinate
that would be more compelling imo
wraith hawk
Lol it gave me the right answer
hazy swallow
i know
lavish topaz
but it was an origin story like i was really nervous and hated high school at first because no one cared enough to talk or whatever and i couldn't really make community but then i played a game with my brother and i realized that i could make community through games and so that's my entire narrative
hazy swallow
i'm just saying there are ways to talk about how it changed your perspective or deepened your thinking
wraith hawk
i'm just saying there are ways to talk about how it changed your perspective or ...

Hmm yeah
ocean rune
i think 3.8+ is competitive?
wraith hawk
Yes
lavish topaz
but why would they take me when there are a sea of 4.0s
im hoping my ecs make up for it
ocean rune
i think their average gpa acceptances are like ~3.9
wraith hawk
Cuz the essays need to be compelling
ocean rune
lots of 4.0s r inflated

i would say submit
if you don't submit they're gonna assume the worst
1510 is minimum a 2+
if you think your other categories will all be 2 and above then sure don't submit

imo its easier to get accepted to ucla than berkeley, but you need to be more locked in for la than berkeley
