yeah but a bunch of people think it's the actual coa lol

#

Or does that depend on housing choices

woven cypress
#

bc books and transportation aren't stuff you pay to the school

#

and you'll most probably never pay that much for books

#

i think housing estimate on portal is 23k but i pay 19k for housing

obtuse hamlet
#

To get stickers you gotta go to Berkeley

brave tendon
rapid shoal
#

idk maybe they'll give out once the regular decision stuff isout or smth

woven cypress
#

they both have very different requirements

i do know quite a few seed scholars who are in met. i think both give you an extremely good set of opportunities that will set you up for the future so as long as you balance stuff well yes you can manage it

Hi

tropic basin
#

wait for people who got regnets

#

what have their other UCs been looking like

slate rose
#

my friend got regents interview: he got waitlist at SD and Irvine, got into Davis, SB, Merced, Riverside, SC

abstract cove
#

bro I have gotten into all 7 UCs that have come, but I've heard nothing about regents from them 😢 Idt there is a correlation

signal parrot
#

suppose someone got into Davis and UCSC, waitlisted from UCSB, and rejected from UCI and UCSD...

signal parrot
#

what could be the changes of that person getting into ucla?

vernal flame
#

if ucsd is the only uc that waitlists me i will be very pissed

signal parrot
#

like hypothetically ofc

signal parrot
slate rose
#

no clue bro the UCs are hella random

signal parrot
#

yea but how random

slate rose
#

hella

#

but for your validation i have a friend last year rejected to SD and Irvine and got into LA

#

i think EE

signal parrot
#

wowza

#

thats exactly what i was wanting to hear

#

ty muchas gracias 🙏

#

im EE/CE as well

slate rose
#

non problemo

#

good luck!!

#

random ahh universities

signal parrot
#

they dont want my OOS tuition 😔

slate rose
#

UCs should just spin a wheel and be done with it

abstract cove
#

also btw, regents was auto-consider, right? There wasn't an option you had to select?

#

so cooked bro

umd's nice like it's like 10 miles from dc

uneven cargo
#

Only college I have some hope for outside of UCs is Princeton and Brown, and my hope is still low there.

My last schools all are below 11%

Yk

shrewd cairn
#

my last schools were 20-30%

ucla and berkeley are the last schools im waiting for and they're the lowest

I have cal, ucla, bowdoin, nyu, and Cornell left

shrewd cairn
#

i do the same 😭

uneven cargo
#

IT HELPS

shrewd cairn
#

TRUE

uneven cargo
#

every time I get a rejection I unpin the college so

#

this is what I got left

shrewd cairn
#

👀

#

i got rejected from 3 schools and i havent unpinned them

#

looking at you uc san diego

uneven cargo
#

I did get offered to submit an LOR from cal so..maybe it will help

#

just maybe

uneven cargo
#

and if it will even count, because they wanted one from at least a teacher. I asked a teacher to submit one (which he didn't) and my mentor from a non-profit I volunteered with (who did).

crystal zinc
#

HE DIDNT SUBMIT???

#

Dude I’m so sorry that’s lowkey evil

uneven cargo
#

nah fr

#

after he said he would

#

my mentor submitted his LOR though

ucb is more hollistic though

shrewd cairn

shrewd cairn
crystal zinc
#

Yeah at my school ucsd and ucla are kinda linked and ucsb and cal are kinda linked

crystal zinc
#

I dunno if that’s standard across schools

somber thistle
#

UCSB reject 💀

crystal zinc
#

hey might just be a my school thing

shrewd cairn
#

damn

#

my school only ever applies to berkeley and la

crystal zinc
#

cause our cal and sb rates are about the same cause the same kids get in

shrewd cairn
#

its that or nothing

crystal zinc
#

27% and 24%

crystal zinc
shrewd cairn
#

me and my friend in ap lit are the only people ik of who applied to the ucs

crystal zinc
#

Oooo nice

#

that’ll be nice either way I love living in California don’t listen to the haters

shrewd cairn
#

i won't

#

i have family there

#

including my dad

crystal zinc
#

okay yeah that’ll def help with settling in

shrewd cairn
#

yeah

#

esp bc im moving

crystal zinc
#

but that oos tuition is roughhhh

shrewd cairn
#

yes

#

which is why im moving

#

my mom thinks the same

crystal zinc
#

Ahhhh makes sense

shrewd cairn
#

after all her husband (my dad) is already there so yeah

crystal zinc
#

Two years? One year? And then you’ll have residency

shrewd cairn
#

it makes sense to move

shrewd cairn
#

ill pay oos first year and everything else is instate

crystal zinc
#

Okay that’s actually not that awful

#

Like bad but

#

could be all four!

shrewd cairn
#

better than 500k a year at nyu/usc/stanford

#

im spending around 120-130k

crystal zinc
#

Oh for sure

#

hey sameeee

shrewd cairn
#

omg you're oos?

crystal zinc
#

No just no aid

shrewd cairn
#

oh

#

crystal zinc
#

#

534 dollars in aid

shrewd cairn
#

i didn't apply for any scholarships bc i don't have time

crystal zinc
#

So no aid

shrewd cairn
#

crystal zinc
#

valid me neither

#

Hoping for the scholarships my school gives at the end of the year

#

maybe I’ll get one

shrewd cairn
#

thats nice

crystal zinc
#

Yeah it’s like 5k too it’s a sweet gig

shrewd cairn
#

yeah

#

crystal zinc
#

shrewd cairn
#

yes

#

$5500

#

total

crystal zinc
#

Which could definitely be worse

shrewd cairn
#

true

crystal zinc
#

@woven cypress
how cutthroat is class registration

woven cypress
#

depends on major but if you plan well you'll be fine

crystal zinc
#

also do you constantly run into the same people because I know way too many who go there

woven cypress
#

like im not a cs or ds major and i've been able to get into all the cs/ds classes i need to declare ds

#

bc they do have reserved seats but there's also an "adjustment period" where they open up all the reserved seats to anyone

#

so if you're like

crystal zinc
#

Oh wow that’s really sweet

woven cypress
#

on the portal at 9:00 am

crystal zinc
#

okay so just don’t sleep in

#

and

#

research beforehand

#

not bad

woven cypress
#

yes

#

make a plan over summer break

woven cypress
crystal zinc
#

oh lovely

shrewd cairn
#

me as a stat major:

crystal zinc
#

okay so they’ll be there either way that’s actually nice to know

woven cypress
#

nah but there's this girl i have major beef w bc she ghosted me like 3 weeks ago and was supposed to be my roommate but i haven't seen her at all and i used to see her hella last semester

crystal zinc
#

ohhh wow that’s a choice of hers

#

but good that you’re not seeing her around

#

so like 50/50 on if you’ll see opps

#

not bad not bsd

#

thank you for your food rant

#

also

#

Like a week ago

#

good read

#

also also what’s the culture like with spending money cause I’m highkey broke and I’m a little nervous about that if I get in

shrewd cairn
#

portal is broken as hell for me 😭

vernal flame

So assuming cs is competitive or high demand @woven cypress

thanks bet

woven cypress
#

cs is not high demand by this policy bc it's in a new college

everything here is competitive

I'm not sure they'll really care. It's not like a contract if they'd even consider one (prob not) lol

just send one

#

whats the worst that can happen

#

they turn your acceptance into a rejection

agile onyx
#

yeah it's kind of like asking for an acceptance... might not be perceived by the AO the way you intended

#

but all up to you obv

uneven cargo
woven cypress
#

not sure if they admit by major

day 2 of manifesting berkeley taking me somehow

desert pewter
#

have you sacrificed any children to oksi yet?

shrewd cairn
#

🤭

#

i ain't having kids so yes

desert pewter
#

aside from your own opportunity at a good childhood

#

given that youre on this server and such

shrewd cairn
#

wdym

desert pewter
#

I feel like people on this server generally fall into the demographic of "sacrificed too much to try to get into college"

shrewd cairn
#

yeah

#

its sad ngl

#

meanwhile i sometimes beat myself up for not doing much

#

then again i tend to stick with only a few activities

#

in fact i have just 5 of the 20 slots filled out on ecs

#

cause i have 4 main activities i do just about everyday that im proud of

desert pewter
#

good luck then

shrewd cairn
#

thanks

#

if i somehow get in i have my piqs to thank

#

i poured my little heart and soul into them 😭

I assume the reel was saved for another day and they just changed the caption but forgot to fully do so

Still not great to post when the video states “30 minutes” in the audio

Could’ve been funny asf if they sat on it

decent amount of walking but the buses are really good. there's the public AC transit which is free for you within berkeley, there's shuttles only for students that go all around campus (and special night safety shuttles) which are also free. there's also the BART which takes you to SF, SJ, etc which is currently not free but they're trying to make it free from next year!

woven cypress
#

when i say decent amount of walking i mean like max 20 mins walking at a stretch

very few times the shuttles have been so crowded that they cant pick up new people until existing people get off

oski is lowkey scary

shrewd cairn
#

he looks like he's scheming something

main prawn
#

it’s the length of his face

#

and the smile

shrewd cairn
#

or hiding unholy shit from you

#

yes

main prawn
#

he looks devious

shrewd cairn
#

exactly

#

he looks like he's hiding some dark secret from you

main prawn
#

if i was walking down a hallway and i saw oski standing there i would probably freak out

shrewd cairn
#

fr

#

he can pass as a horror game character

main prawn
#

LITERALLY

#

HES SO SCARY

shrewd cairn
#

fr

#

five nights at uc when 👀

main prawn
#

anteater!

shrewd cairn
#

ofc oski has to be in

#

dude is horror game material

main prawn
#

wait this is game

#

we could make this

shrewd cairn
#

yesss

#

or some promo video

#

ill do the graphics lol

#

so the lineup would consist of oski ofc also peter the anteater (uci, like you mentioned earlier)

main prawn
#

omg 🙏 hop on unreal engine now

shrewd cairn
#

also that gauncho from ucsb

main prawn
#

HIS NAME IS PETER?????

shrewd cairn
#

yes

main prawn
#

and the banana slug for sure

shrewd cairn
#

yes

#

sammy, oski, the gauncho and peter

main prawn
#

do we want a triton (ucsd) for the last one or a normal bear (ucla)

shrewd cairn
#

yes

#

oh 😭

#

hmmm ucla

main prawn
#

it would be cool if the normal bear was your friend at the beginning

shrewd cairn
#

like he's essentially oski jr

#

yeah

main prawn
#

and then oski shows up

#

and then both of them are evil

shrewd cairn
#

yesss

#

thats amazing

#

like ucla is normal with you at the beginning but his behavior becomes more offputting as the game goes on

main prawn
#

YESSS

#

wait that would be game omg

shrewd cairn
#

fr

#

im assuming the protag would just be some normal human

#

holding a flashlight

main prawn
shrewd cairn
#

yes

main prawn
#

at admitted students day or something

shrewd cairn
#

yeah

main prawn
#

so it’s all celebration at the beginning

shrewd cairn
#

exactly

#

ucla bear will guide you through everything

#

at least for the first part of the game

main prawn
#

YESSS

lapis ravine
#

wait this is so cute

#

wtf

shrewd cairn
#

fr

#

so you play as a prospective student with a flashlight who is guided by ucla bear but he becomes ||more derranged as the game progresses||
you're trying to avoid being seen/jumpscared by sammy, oski the gaucho and peter

lapis ravine
#

is it like five nights at freddy's (i've never watched or played

shrewd cairn
#

yes

#

to an extent

#

oski is lowkey terrifying, psa: everyone should withdraw their apps so oski doesn't terrorize you

then again i never played either

#

Maybe it's just mooing in the corner

#

im thinking for something too for the other mascots

#

like i havent given anything to king triton, the highlander, the davis cow and the merced bobcat

vernal flame
#

Anteater

shrewd cairn
#

peter

#

he's in the same camp as the ucsb gaucho, oski and sammy

main prawn
#

what if king triton like speaks out to you to give you directions

#

like the narrator

#

“go down this left hall with oski”

shrewd cairn
#

yesss

#

king triton as the narrator

main prawn
#

we could have many davis cows mooing in the background like you look outside the window and there’s davis cows

shrewd cairn
#

yes

#

highlander can be some npc you encounter in the hallways giving you tips

#

like he probably went through the same course when he was the player himself but is now part of the gang

main prawn
#

so he makes like ominous remarks

shrewd cairn
#

yesss

#

also he's not someone you can fully trust to add to the scare factor of the game

vernal flame
#

Actually no davis cow can give u company

shrewd cairn
#

like it's possible he could be lying

main prawn
#

like you will trust his advice until he tells you to do something and it causes an oski jumpscare

shrewd cairn
#

yeah

#

his advice is either legit or you'll be unknowingly lead down a death trap

#

where peter/the gaucho/oski/sammy will inevitably end you

main prawn
#

imagine the different animations for when they catch you

#

i feel like sammy would slither around you and then you would end up with goop all over your screen and then a game over message

shrewd cairn
#

i imagine oski punching the player down

main prawn
#

YESSSS

#

idk what a gaucho is so

#

peter would attack with his nose

shrewd cairn
#

yes

#

peter would use his nose which will wrap around the player's neck

shrewd cairn
main prawn
#

yessssss omg

#

who wants to hop on unreal engine

are you making a game perchance

shrewd cairn

the mascots speak for themselves

oski looks like he's plotting devious schemes

main prawn
#

i love unreal engine

#

i wonder if there are already blender models for the uc mascots

#

maybe oski

shrewd cairn
#

yeah

#

big question now so now that we have the game set what style/aesthetic should it be

#

there's ofc the classic fnaf gritty style or we can go cutesy like ddlc/madoka magica

#

or perhaps a middle ground between the two

obtuse hamlet
#

yes

i think it should start bright and colorful then devolve into gritty
