UC Berkeley (2024-2025)

[vivid fractal]

love how USC, Ivy, and Berk threads are buzzing and then UMich is just despondent

UMich is trying too hard to be mysterious by never dropping decisions

[jolly scroll]

Good luck everyone tomorrow. I got straight up rejected at this school and that hurt my ego so this school sucks. Don't go here.

[grizzled shuttle]

please UC Berkeley 🙏 🙏 🙏

ur like my last option

i dont even have any good uc lmoa

[jolly scroll]

all UCs are good my friend

yes even merced and riverside

Riverside is a great option for premed for example and i'm pretty sure Merced CS is good too

ik someone who got into Berk (half tuition scholarship), riverside (full ride), USC, and Cornell and she was premed and she was genuinely considering Riverside

She ended up going with USC cause her older brother goes to ucla but she was torn for a minute

So it goes to show that all UCs are good

[woven cypress]

thank fucking goodness

god i cannot imagine sharing a campus with you

[jolly scroll]

WOW

OKAY

WOW

[woven cypress]

what do you know about riverside engineering

[jolly scroll]

YOU SAYING THAT MADE THIS SHITASS SCHOOL BOTTOM TIER

[woven cypress]

keep hating gang 😂 🙏

[jolly scroll]

MERCED > UCB AND ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE

[jolly scroll]

Hello, as a server moderator I have to do a friendly reminder to not discuss portal astrology. It creates unnecessary worry amongst server members. It will literally drop in 24 hours, please go outside. You probably got rejected anyways.

[tawdry inlet]

yay!

[burnt briar]

What’s portal astrology

[tawdry inlet]

real!

[woven cypress]

3:33 last year

[twin halo]

you prob get rejected anyway is wild 😭 😭 😭

[woven cypress]

real shit

[woven cypress]

YES OMG

[twin halo]

i’m hoping for berkeley for the clean uc record

[woven cypress]

what did you apply to berkeley for

[twin halo]

but my parents prefer la :<

[tawdry inlet]

media studies actually, secondary major is english

[twin halo]

also berkeley english is stupidly amazing for no reason

like it’s unexpectedly insanely good

[woven cypress]

YES

[twin halo]

for a school known for stem

i was like wtf

[tawdry inlet]

i want berkeley so bad but im probably gonna get waitlisted

[woven cypress]

im an (intended) media studies major ama!

[tawdry inlet]

i have this gut feeling

[woven cypress]

i actually applied english primary media studies second but then looked at the stuff and decided to switch haha

[twin halo]

i’m also scared for berkeley

[tawdry inlet]

OH WOW YOU'RE LIKE THE FIRST PERSON IVE MET THAT ACTUALLY IS DOING MEDIA STUDIES

[jovial lance]

omfg I applied media studies 💔

[woven cypress]

last time i checked, #1 for english, history, pol sci and something else on us news!!

[twin halo]

idk what made me decide to apply to engineering 💀

i’m not even tryna study ts bro

[tawdry inlet]

i heard berkeley's waitlist to acceptance rate actually went up recenty though?????

so maybe if i do get waitlisted theres still a chance

[twin halo]

i think i asked my mom and she told me to do that LOL

[woven cypress]

i might switch to pol sci but for the time being yes! im in this one club and EVERYBODY in it is media studies lmao, definitely a strong media studies community!!

[woven cypress]

errrrrr

2022-23 it was 25%

[twin halo]

omg that’s amazing

[woven cypress]

2023-24 it was<1%

[twin halo]

i know abt the english

and i regret not applying

can u double major at berkeley

[jovial lance]

trust I'm gonna be the 0.1%

[woven cypress]

yayy!!

[woven cypress]

yes

[tawdry inlet]

oh fuck okay so the EXACT OPPOSITE

im cooked

we pray though

[woven cypress]

ft guy on linkedin who keeps trying to connect w me (he is a senior and i have never interacted w him before)

[tawdry inlet]

theres no way nyu wants me and berkeley doesn't

right

[fiery ridge]

following this trend this year its 0.25% to get in from waitlist

[woven cypress]

nyu didnt want me but berkeley wanted me early ❤️‍🩹

[signal parrot]

he wants u

[fiery ridge]

holy goat

[fathom oracle]

Join the dark side

[woven cypress]

i fear thats what its looking like

[fathom oracle]

Another soul claimed for the dark lord 🙏

[tawdry inlet]

yippee!

[woven cypress]

whats your pol sci major structured like

like do you have different concentrations/subfields you can choose from

[vernal flame]

emory took me in i have hope

[woven cypress]

congrats!

[fiery ridge]

? why did all the reaaction emojis get removed

[old halo]

opp behavior

[fathom oracle]

Similar to Berkeley's except the quantitative course isn't required, its optional (but offered) and same concentrations except IR is Global politics and International relations whereas you guys simply call it International relations, and no quantitative methods concentration. However we do have a joint Politics/Latin American and Latino Studies major which from my understanding is the politics major but specialized in latino/latin America politics, society, etc.

[woven cypress]

oooooooooh

what concentration are you thinknig of doing

[fiery ridge]

I managed to rizz kelly in UC love

This means I get in right

[vernal flame]

yes

[fiery ridge]

‼️

Yay

[fathom oracle]

Probably U.S Politics or IR, there are some really cool professors offering interesting classes in those areas that I want to take, and if I do IR that probably would mesh well with the East Asian studies minor I'm trying to do.

[woven cypress]

yeah im thinking one of those two too

[fiery ridge]

Kelly my fav girl in the game

Hottie

[fathom oracle]

You guys have a really strong IR department if I remember correctly so you'll have a lot of awesome professors and classes if you go down that path

[woven cypress]

maybe i will do that then ty

[stoic warren]

nah you lying UCSD is the best

[stoic warren]

nah but did you see their waitlist admit rate last year

Only we could all have 2023 waitlist rates

[wise geode]

Actually crazy shit lowkey

Lower than Ivy leagues rates ong.

[stoic warren]

who cares about the ivy leagues

admissions for them are rigged with legacies

[winter widget]

if i get an alum to adopt me....

surely i can get in

[wise geode]

Never said they were good

Personally I don't really like ivies. Too high of costs

[stoic warren]

never claimed you did say that

[wise geode]

Ok.

[stoic warren]

ivies offer really good aid

but legacy admissions pmo

[stoic warren]

[wise geode]

Yeah but lowkey I accidentally said no to waive my ferpa so I might be cooked

[wise geode]

I would talk more but I feel like if I talk about a certain id number or a certain portal into a different realm the mods will come after me so this is all I can say.

[stoic warren]

don't listen to ass-strology

kinda dont wanna go to a uni thats my hs v2

[wise geode]

Berkeley hs?

[native tulip]

nah

[wise geode]

woulda been crazy if that was the case ngl

[whole night]

I have a few friends who transferred to a small state school from Cal, they're so much happier lol

[quasi quartz]

berkely have those riots

[native tulip]

my school is already super toxic

[quasi quartz]

dangerous

[whole night]

They went to competitive high schools and were tired of that after a year at cal

[wise geode]

Bro someone at my school got stabbed a few years ago if you think thats bad...

[native tulip]

not talking about like dangerous lol, i was saying the competition at my school

[stoic warren]

vro everyone at my school put me down

[winter widget]

my school's actually surprisingly chill

[stoic warren]

i feel you maomao 💔

[wise geode]

Vro just put the decisions in the bag lowkey.

[stoic warren]

yeah fluff everyone at my school

[native tulip]

nah there was actually some kids who have not seen grass like tried so hard

• grade deflation at berkeley goes hard

saw on reddit on class a 95 got curved down to a fat B

probably chem lol

[wise geode]

Fr in stem classes especially. Some guy had a 99 and got A-

like how tf is a 99 ever an A-

if that shit was what gets you an A-... nah man just quit with the GPA being 4.0 you're never getting it at berkeley.

[stoic warren]

negative curve 😭

these nerds are infiltrating our institutions

they should be STOPPED

[wise geode]

Absolute diabolical. Literally impossible to get a 4.0 with those curves

[native tulip]

someone did 700 pages of practice for their final to get an A in ochem

never saw grass again.

[stoic warren]

is ochem really that deep 😭

[wise geode]

At that point bro could've spent it on EC's, internships, friend hangouts. ANYTHING ELSE!

Lowkey if you come from berkeley with a 3.5+ I will genuinely be impressed and believe you're either a genius or an absolute determined work ethic god.

[native tulip]

if u dont wanna pursue grad berkeley is probably prett good option

[wise geode]

Like gaw damn harvard be giving 4.0 like candy. But berkeley be trying to make people fail legit.

[native tulip]

rip gpa 🥀

[stoic warren]

praying that UCLA doesn't have grade deflation 🙏

[wise geode]

My second cousin went to berkeley and somehow got into a grad program...

I was genuinely surprised

[native tulip]

i think they are more lax on gpa if ur from cal

[winter widget]

purdue

[native tulip]

uh

yeah gl with that

[wise geode]

Yeah prob. Because they know mf's from berkeley have a reasonable explanation for the 3.0 gpa.

[stoic warren]

non engineering major 🥳

i'm an art major

nah just kidding i'm mcd bio

[native tulip]

[stoic warren]

at least i'm stem don't berate me

[native tulip]

its okay at least ur not doing gender studies

or asian studies

[stoic warren]

at least i applied for the major i actually wanted

the gender studies -> cs pipeline lives on

[stoic warren]

some people just switch like ts pmo

[native tulip]

its patched msotly i think now

transferring into cs is impossible

[jovial lance]

will forever hate major switchers

[winter widget]

i know a dude who did this and got accepted into berkeley

he's anthropology switching into haas 😭

[native tulip]

nah i hope you get stuck with the major

have fun doing anthropology

[stoic warren]

i'm sorry for your friend but i pray that he sticks with the fossils and human skulls

[wise geode]

Ong these mfs be choosing arts as their major to get a 60% acceptance rate. Just to switch it to some competitive ah major midway.

[jovial lance]

hope every stem kid who takes a humanities spot specifically stays

[stoic warren]

🙏

[stoic warren]

some kid who got into berkeley is stuck with education after trying to switch to engineering 🥳

[native tulip]

destined to be a teacher with education major

[stoic warren]

the other kid who got into berkeley applied data science and he's having the time of his life rn

[jovial lance]

pisses me off when its art!!! do not choose art if ur not ready to be broke and miserable like an artist

[wise geode]

Someone else was rejected from art school and we know how that turned out.

[winter widget]

they're already going to be broke and miserable as a cs major too lol

[twin heron]

They entered politics.

As long as the rejected individual goes elsewhere, it's fine.

[wise geode]

And somehow legally became a dictator

[vernal flame]

bababooey

[jovial lance]

soooo real and as they should be for being a major switcher 💔

[stoic warren]

rejection is redirection but not always in the right direction

switched from art to national socialism 💔

[twin heron]

Speaking of rejections, I'll probably get my first rejections soon.

I'm surprised I haven't gotten rejected from anything yet.

[native tulip]

i got wl from ucla for EE never gettinf off that wl

[wise geode]

I had a hella nice acceptance streak... till 3 rejections in a row.

[stoic warren]

i will manifest for you don't you worry twin

[twin heron]

I'm on a streak of 3 waitlists.

I refuse to go on any waitlists.

[winter widget]

im on a streak of 4 rejections

ready to make it 6!

[jovial lance]

i was feeling so cocky last week with only waitlists and then i got hit with the 6 rejection streak 💔

[twin heron]

If you put me to the side, you best believe I'm putting you to the side too 🔥

[winter widget]

ME TOO BRUH

[jovial lance]

humbling really

[twin heron]

6 rejections is absurd.

[native tulip]

i got double rejection from northwestern and usc today too, but trust rejection is redirection (hopefully)

[lost zodiac]

99% sure im getting rejected from berkeley tmrw rip

[jovial lance]

i dont know if i should be offended or like, honored at this

[stoic warren]

i'm 99% confident that i will get rejected from berkeley

[jovial lance]

i am also 99% sure of the rejection

[twin heron]

You choose.

[lost zodiac]

i didn't really apply to any ivies but tmrw is going to be a warzone at school

[twin heron]

Can you say this with a p-value under .05? 😉

[jovial lance]

i dont know if i should be afraid of this one too

mixed messages

[twin heron]

It's up to you.

If you want to be offended, be offended.

If you want to be honored, be honored.

[jovial lance]

[winter widget]

[twin heron]

We can provide therapy.

[jovial lance]

[winter widget]

We're here to help.

[twin heron]

Actually, it's not very accessible in the United States, but it can be soon.

[winter widget]

We are rapidly approaching your location.

[stoic warren]

i hate statistics with a burning passion

[twin heron]

You can use your First Amendment right to petition to ask your Congresspeople for therapy access.

[jovial lance]

[stoic warren]

like fym we gotta interpret the p value

[winter widget]

Ha. Ha. Ha.

[twin heron]

[jovial lance]

[stoic warren]

nah my school hates me

[winter widget]

he made like 3 mistakes and we didn't even solve it before class ended

[jovial lance]

idk i think kumon ingrained a deep hatred in me

[twin heron]

My school offers BC, but I took AB instead. However, I decided to take the BC exam, and scored a 5.

I skipped the last FRQ.

[native tulip]

reminds me of my physics c teacher

[stoic warren]

curve is real heavy on the ap exam

[native tulip]

who could not do her own problems

[lost zodiac]

And BC since it's the highest math my school offers and i didn't enroll in multivar until later

[winter widget]

my physics c teacher doesn't exist

that's why i got a 1 on e&m 😭

[native tulip]

😭

[winter widget]

you ever just forget to self study

[stoic warren]

bruh i didn't even take a physics class 💔

am i lk missing out on physics pain

[lost zodiac]

I think I wrote "i'm sorry [teacher name]" on one of my ap exam frqs and i got a 5 😭

[winter widget]

don't you need physics for the UCs?

[stoic warren]

[lost zodiac]

ap physics 2 is kind of cooking me rn

[winter widget]

hey it wasn't that bad

[stoic warren]

i'd rather have that schedule

i tried to take ap chem as a sophomore and my chem teacher said that i should fuck off

and he's had a bad impression on me ever since

[native tulip]

without prior chem experience?

i did ap chem without any

lol

[winter widget]

i had to beg my counselor, attend a meeting, take a prelim test, and study over the summer

[stoic warren]

[winter widget]

at least my chem teacher likes me

[native tulip]

what is a gibbs free energy (and why is he giving free energy) 🥀

[stoic warren]

ap chem wasn't too bad

i still don't get the nernst equation 💔 just the algebra

like how do they derive these dumb fuck equations

[winter widget]

they never taught us nernst

[stoic warren]

nernst for nonstandard conditions?

[winter widget]

wait no they did they just called it something else

maybe

idk its been 2 years

[native tulip]

its to find the cell potential under nonstandard right?

i forfgor

[stoic warren]

[native tulip]

[stoic warren]

i loved acids and bases

[winter widget]

[winter widget]

[stoic warren]

[winter widget]

😭
my school put a cap on the number of honors/ap courses we could take per year

[stoic warren]

[native tulip]

[brazen torrent]

[cinder plaza]

Ok lwk an ivy wheel sounds like fun I might steal that

[brazen torrent]

i heard about it from a friend lol

[cinder plaza]

uhh if u think ur gonna get in open it at the end so u end off at a good note if ur unsure, wheel, if u think ur gonna get rejected open when u get the decision -- that way you end it off on a good note (hopefully)

[brazen torrent]

im not sure lol

ima just add it to the wheel

5 decisions at once

if i go 0/5 ima rescind myself

[wet vault]

why is it during school time 😭

does berkeley send out an email if you get accepted btw (like email spoilers before you check the portal)

[harsh dawn]

how is this confirmed?

[vague spire]

😭😭😭

[wet vault]

i dont wanna check till friday so i was wondering if i would get spoiled by an email (or lack of...)

[grizzled shuttle]

past years i believe

[vivid fractal]

so not at all confirmed

[grizzled shuttle]

no

well most uc's dropped around 3-5pm

so like

[vivid fractal]

yeah its not that deep

it'll be sometime in the afternoon

[woven cypress]

3-3:30 pm trust

[woven cypress]

at 3:33 pst they send an update to your application email and the tuesday after, they sent me a financial aid email

so no afaik

[uneven cargo]

Any signs of admission

[woven cypress]

nope

[uneven cargo]

[uneven cargo]

Ik with UCSD I had a rejection vid before I even opened the letter

[winter widget]

???

[uneven cargo]

With cal I got invited to submit an LOR but idk if that means anything...like...anything major

[winter widget]

what???

rejection vid??

[uneven cargo]

yup, hold on

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J-lxWEmpuA

fr a rejection vid

[winter widget]

THEY SENT YOU THAT????

[uneven cargo]

IN THE PORTAL, YEAH

[winter widget]

WHY

[uneven cargo]

Because I got rejected

[winter widget]

thats foul

thats actually foul

[uneven cargo]

Fr

[uneven cargo]

An LOR can be important right?

[woven cypress]

yes fs

but plenty of people who get them and get rejected, and those who dont get them and get in

so it helps but it doesn't guarantee anything

[uneven cargo]

felt

but what does it mean? Or is it random.

[hardy ermine]

they send that to usually first gen or low income students

lots of kids at my school got it because my school is a low income school

i got it, i'm first gen not low income

LORs overall do increase your chances though

[uneven cargo]

felt

[winter widget]

@grizzled shuttle did u get this too

[whole dune]

what time is results

[stoic warren]

15 hours and a half from now

[thorny storm]

what time are we expecting decisions today

[hallow hamlet]

😭

really matters for me

[old halo]

[vivid fractal]

they do it off of unweighted

[worldly flame]

LMAO

ur school is on drugs

[vivid fractal]

but they literally split it between everyone with a 4.00

so there’s like 14 valedictorians

[worldly flame]

so whos giving the speech....

[vivid fractal]

and because of one 89.9 freshman year that ain’t me

[vivid fractal]

i got no clue 😭

our gpa system is so weird

99.5+ is an a+

hopefully when i get in i give hope to all the low gpa kids at my school

[vivid fractal]

that’s ridiculous

lowkey i don’t mind going to a shit high school
