I did my yale net price calculator and it’s 92k a year 💔💔💔

And they give hella aid

[wind crypt]

priority housing is cool too

[shrewd cairn]

reading your college essays after submitting them is like looking at your middle school artwork as a senior in high school

[wind crypt]

or the fiannce girls i guess

[frail flame]

SAME LMFAO THEY WERE SO BADDDDDDDDDDDD

[shrewd cairn]

one of my essays mentions about how learning about societal issues in my favorite games inspired me to do research for my new stories

[frail flame]

[wind crypt]

127,000 applicants

i thoguth coke would be single most thing i got

wait bro im not a woman in stem wtfffff

[primal schooner]

Yea but Berkeley doesn’t use an algorithm to do it lmfao

[frail flame]

im asian lmao

not a minority in college apps

[wind crypt]

bruh

please tell me regents means i aint screwed for RD

btu tbh my uc apps and rd apps are very different

at least they saw berkeleyis moer holsitic than the other UCs

tbh

my only other acceptance was merced ❤️

didnt apply early to toehr schools

not like that at least

im the least diverse person here

💀

[primal schooner]

Are you urm/fgli

[wind crypt]

i have no clue how i got into haas

truly

i dont even do business

[primal schooner]

Good stuff

[wind crypt]

im a historian KEK

bro

my haas sup was

how id sell ice cream from my truck

LMFAO

my interview WAS SO BAD

IT CUT OFF

I LITERALLY READ OFF A SCRIPT

[frail flame]

wait i got seed too

im so confused

[wind crypt]

YOU CAN SEE MY EYES
LMFAOOOOO

[frail flame]

did i do something wrong

[primal schooner]

That sounds… interestingly suspicious

[frail flame]

no i mean why tf did i get it

[wind crypt]

dont worry its a blue van not a white one

trust

[frail flame]

im worried i chcked off wrong box on scholarship consideration or something

because im an asian make in life science and business program

[primal schooner]

Ok bet I’m not worried anymore

[frail flame]

im worried i checked off like wrong race box or scholarship interest thing

am i cooked

[primal schooner]

Lmfao that’s hilarious

Nah you’re fine

[wind crypt]

anyways

i still think its crazy for regents

also 1000/127000 out of all UCs or just berk?

because i thought only 150 regents at berk

[frail flame]

wait do they consider asian as a minority

[wind crypt]

bro no way i a minority

[frail flame]

wait did i do something wrong im so fking confused wtffffff

how tf would i be a minority

[wind crypt]

The exact number of Regents Scholarships awarded across all UC campuses varies each year, but it is generally considered to be a small percentage of incoming students, typically within the top 1-2% of applicants, with each campus independently managing their selection process, meaning there is no single "total" number for all UCs combined; however, the overall pool of Regents Scholars across all UC campuses is quite large due to the number of individual campuses awarding the scholarship.

[frail flame]

like country wise in asia ye im a minority fs

but overall im not

[wind crypt]

okay yeah its probs something like that

honestly

if u get regents its really good choice

priority classes/housing/etc

for me i really gotta get those berkeley clubs

those finance bro clubs

regents for sure makes a big difference

my only gripe

i want to go to east coast since i love NYC

thats about it lol

[cinder cairn]

Berk lemme in raaah

[wind crypt]

dw bro ur getting in

they let me in so u must get in too

[cinder cairn]

My school gets like 20 berks a year so i hope so

[karmic oasis]

20????

[wind crypt]

yeah nah today was unexpected for sure

[cinder cairn]

Rn tho ive only heard of one who got in today

[wind crypt]

i rly rushed UC apps so i thought reject

plus its haas

like wtf i literally read off a script for my interview

YOU COULD SEE MY EYES LMFAO

[cinder cairn]

I live in california so

[wind crypt]

im better with in person interviews not video ones

[karmic oasis]

Ohhh

[wind crypt]

I WAS AT COSTCO TOO

[frail flame]

wait did i do something wrong on my questionnaire for identity or wtv now im actually worried

[wind crypt]

AHHHHHHHHHH

[frail flame]

isnt seed supposed to be for minorities

actually why am i worrying

[cinder cairn]

Id think most california hs that are mediocrely ranked will get a ton of ucla and berk admits

[frail flame]

im hella happy

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

[wind crypt]

anyways

let me know if ur a finance bro or a finance girl

or anything

for that matter

im just confused lmao

[cinder cairn]

[wind crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/dicaprio-meme-lobo-de-wall-street-gif-9165609578969835344

[surreal ridge]

same 😭😭😭

[rough cloud]

bro

i was in bed

sleepy asl

jumped out

then fully read it

-_-

why tf would u send me an email letting me know ur still reading

like no shit

😭😭

[lament vale]

People already got decisions???

Are they special or something?

idk what that is

[tribal night]

i mean pretty sure all met get their decisions early

[lament vale]

Is it like a special honors program or something

[tribal night]

i mean ur getting a scholarship

and i forget there cud be a special benefit to getting in early but not sure

[honest wharf]

oh i just realized i got seeds too

wtf

[lament vale]

Do you have to be super smart or do you need to apply for it

[honest wharf]

AYEEEE CONGRATS

i didn’t see there were multiple letters

[tribal night]

well everyone who applies like has a chance to get seeds and regents

so i mean

[lament vale]

Ohh okay

Congratulations!

[honest wharf]

wait

were you never in the llp discord

[rough cloud]

i’m a sleepy guy

[grizzled fjord]

Interview?

[vernal flame]

that means you are special cuh

[primal schooner]

Yes

[stable dagger]

I got rejected from met!!!!

[rain elbow]

wait where

[nimble quest]

i didnt even know met came out this early

[short tusk]

I got scared reading this I thought I got a status update for a sec

Do all UCs come out 27

[lament vale]

Why have they told us SO early

[stable dagger]

guys do we still have a chacne 💔

[woven cypress]

1000 last year

[narrow dagger]

Yeah and you should get priority enrollment too

My roommate is a regents scholar here and she gets all of that

And regents typically has an insane test bank too so you have an infinite amount of practice

If you get regents at a UC you like it’s def worth considering

[woven cypress]

If you applied to MET but didn't get a decision yesterday, you could still get into berkeley but you're rejected from MET.

[charred mountain]

how does berkeley determine who gets early admission or not? Does it mean that they've already read through all the applicants once and then re-read the people who didn't get an early admission for a second time?

[woven cypress]

Yes

As for how it's determined, it's using the same holistic admissions process that they use normally

For some people it is early admission I think

Like you don't get regents or seeds but you get in early

Ah yeah

[jaunty pine]

AMA, Got into MET yesterday - did anyone else?

[grizzled fjord]

berkeley pdf

about their regents

[grizzled fjord]

one of my peers got in for eecs+met

[jaunty pine]

Oh really? from the bay ?

[grizzled fjord]

yep

[hardy ermine]

LMAOO their admissions office probs got so many emails

[lapis ravine]

got a heart attack from that email as well oh my lord

[honest wharf]

i did

what engineering discipline?

[finite vault]

Chat is this rejection

[charred mountain]

huh thats interesting. I wonder why they take nearly 2 more months then to release final decisions

seems somewhat inefficient if they've already read through all apps

[cerulean sedge]

?????????????????????????

[frosty lily]

nah it just means that they didnt choose u for early notification/regents

/seeds

/met

/some other programs

[woven cypress]

Think of it as a deferral.

[finite vault]

💀💀💀

Deferred for the second time y'all 😃

[woven cypress]

I mean technically.

Technically you just haven't gotten your decision yet.

[shrewd cairn]

the majority of the decisions come out in march 🤷

[woven cypress]

You can tell yourself whatever you want. Won't change your decision or make it come any sooner.

Exactly.

[finite vault]

It's not like i have the out of state tuition anyway ahem ahem 💀

[vale hedge]

FR

[vale hedge]

I didnt even know people alr got accepted, just got jumpscared by the email for a second 😭

[vale hedge]

were they auto consider? or did u have to specially apply?

[brazen torrent]

Everyone got it lol

[brazen torrent]

No...

The only decisions that have come out so far are Regents and some other super selective programs right?

[stable dagger]

Yeah

[frosty lily]

every9one is autoconsider

[vale hedge]

ah f

[woven cypress]

Did nobody get in without regents?

[primal schooner]

Ppl defo did

[karmic oasis]

tes

[woven cypress]

I know people did last year.

[shrewd cairn]

my brother graduates this year and my mom offered me to go to his graduation this may turns out i cant bc i have school on the 21st and the fact my annoying asf school consuelors (thankfully some including my own are fun and nice to be around but im talking about the pushy and mean asf ones) makes all the seniors at school rehearse for the fucking graduation

[jaunty pine]

You are rejected from the special program but will still be considered for your 2nd choice major i assume

[jaunty pine]

Yes
so everyone who didn't get into those get that letter where it just means you're being considered for your 2nd choice major, but not the special program

[tropic basin]

how easy is it to switch from bioengineering to eecs

[frosty lily]

probly not easy

eecs has hella demand

[woven cypress]

No

[rough cloud]

isnt eecs restricted

i think CS is the one u can transfer to

in cdss

[mint river]

i think engineering majors can transfer into EECS

[mint river]

first choice iirc

wait actually idk about Spieker but

MET you apply with an engineering major

so if ur rejected from MET you still are considered for said engineering major

[honest wharf]

can i reuse my UC essays for my SEEDS essays

bruh i don’t wanna rewrite these

plus they gave us a week

[woven cypress]

^

[narrow dagger]

Yeah my friend switched from bioeng to EECs

[kindred crescent]

any speiker business acceptances?

[grizzled fjord]

nah (not that i know)

but i know a dude who got into ross

[kindred crescent]

oh man thats crazy, im tryna be like that

[grizzled fjord]

i know, the dude is super cool

big superman fan

[kindred crescent]

oh shit he likes clark kent like that

[grizzled fjord]

do u got the link

i found it online

but how to register link

[red mango]

saw one on tiktok

[grizzled fjord]

nvm i got it

[tropic basin]

do u know what the process was like

i heard something about taking really hard weeder classes

[grizzled fjord]

bro really not happy w his major /j

u just gottta deal w the hardness of getting courses

if ur at Cal u can prolly def get through the weeders

[tropic basin]

nah i didnt get in im j asking lamo

i missed the deadline to switch major to eecs

[kindred crescent]

damn aight aihgt, im hoping for it

[grizzled fjord]

oh r u at Cal rn

my bad my bad

i know getting cs courses is supposed to be hella tough

and they added a form u need to apply to

with a good amt of prereqs

[grizzled fjord]

uhhh not feb i don't got time

i might go to march

im going to Cal for a debate tournament around yall's ROHP

[woven cypress]

Not for lower division classes. The class sizes are more than a thousand.

[shrewd cairn]

reading my piqs is like looking at embarrassing middle school photos

😭

[buoyant spear]

Reallll like wot was berkgang thinking 😭

[shrewd cairn]

😭

[wind crypt]

yeah

[wind crypt]

davis came out already?

[shrewd cairn]

no they come out in march

[wind crypt]

whats UCD

oh

manifesting

gl

[brave tendon]

wait r people doing the rohp

should i apply too

[wind crypt]

are you a regent too

[brave tendon]

yea but i still gotta interview

[narrow dagger]

She did the EECs classes first sem and switched second

[snow scroll]

does Cal cap the number of students per school/major? so if someone has already got accepted to EECS, assuming there is zero to no chance now?

[buoyant spear]

EECS, while competitive, isn’t a special program like MET or spieker or anything. Majority of admits will likely be in March so don’t sweat :)

[woven cypress]

Not necessarily.

[wind crypt]

they only accepted like 1500 early

they usually accept like 14000 if im correct overall

so thats what still like 12000+ acceptances left

[snow scroll]

yeah...well in this case if the school historically sends 1 -3 EECS students per year and someone has already got accepted, the chances look bleak for March

[shrewd cairn]

a guy at my school who’s in the top 3 got an early acceptance (allegedly, as this was revealed by one of my friends who applied to sd, berkeley, irvine and riverside)

[rain elbow]

whats the acceptance rate of seeds if they invite you?

[fiery ridge]

do they send sweaters usually

damn 100

trust tho

worth it for the aura
