All UCs (2025-2026)

[alpine carbon]

[alpine carbon]

[signal canopy]

[signal canopy]

yeah like low six figures after letters

it’s alright

[alpine carbon]

qunat firm 😭

😭

[signal canopy]

the best part about it is gonna be that i’m not going to work 80h unlike people in jane street

[alpine carbon]

oh thats nice :)

im prob gonna work in private equity

idk tho

[dawn dome]

Healthcare is...smth

[signal canopy]

again, specific condition

[signal canopy]

you have fun with that

[dawn dome]

You can DM me, since I also have a specific condition but I was charged a lot by the healthcare even with SHIP-

[signal canopy]

me personally i think ill stay with my eventual 40h wfh job

[signal canopy]

tyyy

money is a way of life for them

[alpine carbon]

i lowkey dont wanna work at all 😭

[dawn dome]

Lowkey Berkeley went shit today. Fin.Aid wasn't aware what cal housing did and it's screwing my aid up-

[signal canopy]

you said quant

[signal canopy]

yeah cal is a thing

[dawn dome]

It's...oof. It's bad.

[signal canopy]

i was tempted because they gave better aid than ucla

but atp i really could not care any less

[alpine carbon]

i think ucla has better environment then ucb

its lot safer

[signal canopy]

i think my professional development would be better at ucla

and my partner’s going there

[alpine carbon]

ucla has really good math program

[signal canopy]

and i have friends there

[signal canopy]

cal’s is better iirc and their math club is more established imo

as someone who’s lurked on their discord

[alpine carbon]

berkeley has better physics program but i think ucla has better math program

[signal canopy]

not to say ucla’s math isn’t good either

i think i might. be a bit jaded since their actuary major is in the math department

and i really don’t like their actuary major

[dawn dome]

Yeah. The enviroment at Cal can be...questionable.

...Then again, I'm glad to be out of LA area cuz...oof. I didn't want to go to a universituy near my home

[alpine carbon]

thats so real i used to wanna go to college in east coast cuz i wanna get outta here

[dense pumice]

No way you know where that is lol

That’s so funny

[raven tusk]

Im not an idiot

[dense pumice]

They’re actually offering doubles again fyi

[raven tusk]

"Fork found in bathroom"

[dense pumice]

Check DMs

[raven tusk]

Ok

[dawn dome]

Lowkey suprises on the doubles again-

[ashen sky]

🥀

[tiny zephyr]

Doubles but how many bathrooms

[late terrace]

Yale doesn’t even give free creative cloud

🙄

[raven tusk]

Fuck Adobe bro

[dense pumice]

Wdym

They have priv bath for some doubles and communal

[late terrace]

do u live in an off campus apartment or a dorm

bc im living in a dorm for freshmen year but im wondering what to do for sophmore year and beyond

[signal canopy]

oh hell yeah

top 1% poster

literally aura farming

didnt even have to be chronically online for it

[late terrace]

oh my

are they hiring more professors tho 🤨

[warm token]

Yah lol

[tiny zephyr]

I was making a joke that wasn't funny sorry

[tiny zephyr]

If they didn't imagine the class size

I don't think they could get away with intro classes being the size of a battalion

Actually they could get away with that ignore what I said

[dense pumice]

Dorm

[dense pumice]

Live in dorm sophomore yr I’d say 50/50 in terms of off campus vs on campus apartments jr and sr year

[languid prism]

Wait guys I heard UCSD's acceptance rate goes up for OOS

im assuming bc of tuition but can someone confirm if this is true

[late terrace]

The acceptance rate is typically higher for oos at most ucs but that’s bc the yield rate for oos students is very low

[languid prism]

wait i might be dumb but why would they wanna accept more OOS if they yield rate is low?

doesn't that make the school appear less prestigious

[late terrace]

Money

OOS students are money machines for ucs

[late terrace]

Acceptance rate doesn’t correlate with prestige

[languid prism]

lmao not me being an OOS prospective student

[languid prism]

good point

[late terrace]

It’s fine, there’s nothing wrong with being OOS at a uc (despite some California kids who seem to hold a massive one sided grudge against OOS kids)

Just know they won’t give u any fin aid

[languid prism]

I was thinking of adding UCSD as a backup to my reach schools since it appears they like OOS kids (but only if I got a good third party scholarship LMAO)

[languid prism]

oh yeah I know its bad. Im just applying to third party ones

[late terrace]

I was lazy and I didn’t apply to much 😭

[languid prism]

Is it insane to say UCSD is a backup?

like to reach schools

[late terrace]

I wouldn’t say it’s a safety

What’s ur major

[languid prism]

either Econ or poli sci

[late terrace]

Then it’s prob a target then

I’m pretty sure humanities has high acceptance rates

[languid prism]

Okay not that ur an AO or anything but do u think if I have one safety and one target and rest reaches im good lol

I dont like non-reach schools for some reason

[late terrace]

That’s what I did kinda

[languid prism]

good to hear lol

[languid prism]

im assuming ur in state?

[late terrace]

And I got brutally massacred 😭 (18 rejections)

Yes I’m in state for Cali

[languid prism]

OH WOW

what schools did u apply to/

congrats on UCLA tho

[late terrace]

Like ivies and T20 privates

And then ucs

[languid prism]

okay same

i swear its a coin toss for these schools

[late terrace]

Ended up with only ucla ucsd uci and Purdue but that’s enough for me

I only needed one school to say yes

[languid prism]

its so random im sure u were more than qualified

[languid prism]

what was ur top choice?

[late terrace]

No fr the cycle last year was very brutal

[late terrace]

Either Harvard or Duke

But I’m very happy with ucla

[languid prism]

do u think there was any reason u didn't do as well or simply bc of how competitive and random it's gotten?

[late terrace]

Cheaper + close to family + my besties are rooming with me

[languid prism]

its so weird bc ill see kids who did some random level things get in to every ivy and then some who do the most and get rejected by all

[late terrace]

Eh maybe, my app wasn’t super strong bc my school was pretty competitive but at the same time it wasn’t that bad

[late terrace]

It truly is so bizarre but at the end of the day u just have to hope for the best

[languid prism]

I know its so hard to know where youre gonna get in atp

but wait how many safeties did u have again

/targets?

[late terrace]

Oh it was um

Safeties I applied csu lb and ucr

Targets were ucd ucsb

Idk if I should call Irvine and sd targets or reaches

I got rejected by Davis and sb and Riverside tho??

[calm geyser]

riverside is wild

i also got rejected from sb

got off the davis wl

[languid prism]

ugh so random

Isn't Riverside or Merced the newest UC?

I think they added it bc of housing shortages at other UCs right or it's a newer campus maybe I'm thinking of

anyway, CA is so lucky to have such a good public school system lol

truly unmatched I feel like

[late terrace]

Ikr

[languid prism]

I mean there's other good publics like UVA and UNC but the whole UC system is great

[late terrace]

Fr so grateful

[late terrace]

Yea something like that

[languid prism]

lowk wish I was in state!!

[late terrace]

But even then everyone wants to go to La and Berkeley 🤣🤣

[languid prism]

IK LOL

I heard UCLA doesn't have it as bad as berk tho

[late terrace]

What state are u from? If u don’t mind me asking

[languid prism]

so u might be fine

[languid prism]

Not at all im from Wisconsin

unfortunately lol

I've heard yes

[late terrace]

Well u have uw Madison at least

Don’t they have an auto admit program now

😭😭

[languid prism]

they do but I still haven't gotten word on if im top 5% yet lol

so hopefully ill be auto admit

[languid prism]

its not bad yeah but I don't fw the vibe

I like the vibe of the UC schools lol

seems much more like idk how to explain it but not as rah rah

[late terrace]

No fr

[late terrace]

I don’t like frat culture

😭😭

Same with football

[calm geyser]

the latter

merced's the newest

2005

[languid prism]

same hate it

[calm geyser]

same

[languid prism]

same everyone getting hyped about gameday is lowk cringy to me

[calm geyser]

im avoiding greek life once i go to davis this september

[languid prism]

which is why I mean, from what I can tell, the UC's seem to not be as like that which I love

[languid prism]

good choice

i seriously don't get it lol

especially at a lot of the southern schools where that literally takes hold over academics lol

[calm geyser]

YES

for tamu and ut the top 9% of all texas high school kids are auto admitted

[late terrace]

Right 😭😭

Like I’m sorry but college is a place to learn and advance ur career

That comes first

Not sports and frat parties

[calm geyser]

you just summed up why i only applied to ut and tamu as my southern/instate schools 😭

[languid prism]

YES

why do people act like im crazy when I say that I wanna go to school to learn 😭

[languid prism]

I fear ppl go to school bc they don't know what they wanna do with their lives and college offers a little 4 years of cushion

before they actually have to get their shit together

imo

[calm geyser]

yeah

[languid prism]

I feel like u should only go to schoool if u truly have somethign of interest to study

[calm geyser]

ngl most southern schools remind me of my high school 😭

[languid prism]

SAME

[calm geyser]

crazy on sports

[languid prism]

I'm trying to avoid hs 2.0 at all means necessary

[calm geyser]

YES

[languid prism]

are u from OOS?

[calm geyser]

yeah though i have plans to move out

[languid prism]

Oh are u paying full for UC Davis if u dont mind me asking?

Im also OOS

and applying to UCs

[calm geyser]

parents are willing to pay anything if it means me and my brother get an education

[languid prism]

love that for you

education > everything

its the best invesment one will ever make

[calm geyser]

yeah my parents had to take the gaokao when they were my age so they expected me and my brother to do well in school

[languid prism]

oh god the gaokao

[calm geyser]

yep

[languid prism]

i"ve seen those camps they have for kids

to study

insane

[calm geyser]

ikr

[languid prism]

they are warriors

[calm geyser]

frfr

[languid prism]

I can't believe thats actually real

[calm geyser]

yes though as i mentioned earlier my parents are paying lol

[languid prism]

what led you to apply to davis btw?

[calm geyser]

great for my major (statistics), family in norcal (dad, aunt and cousins), it's cali and tbh i didn't see myself going instate bc it's high school all over again lmao

[languid prism]

yes lowk why I don't wanna go to madison lol

people at my hs say its my hs 2.0

[calm geyser]

oh uw madison?

[languid prism]

💀

[languid prism]

yes

[calm geyser]

i see

[languid prism]

its so antithesis of my vibe I feel like

but im still applying bc I feel like I have to

[calm geyser]

me with tamu lmao

my high school is a feeder for them

[languid prism]

what state is that i dont even know that school lol

[calm geyser]

texas

[languid prism]

ah okay did u apply to UT Austin

[calm geyser]

yes

[languid prism]

did u get in

ik its a good wall street feeder lol

[calm geyser]

not exactly i was offered the cap program

[languid prism]

thats the only texas school I know 😭

[languid prism]

what's that

[calm geyser]

a transfer program where you go to another ut campus for one year and transfer to austin the next

not guaranteed though

especially for stem majors

[languid prism]

oh what is ur major?

[calm geyser]

statistics

[languid prism]

nice I;m debating between physics and economics

(so similar i know!!)

[languid prism]

what do u plan to do after college

[calm geyser]

find a job lol

[calm geyser]

wishing you all the best i believe in you

[languid prism]

lmaooo what field tho

[languid prism]

thank you! its gonna be stressful but ik these next few months will all be worth it!

[languid prism]

not a j*b

thats a no-no word lmao

[calm geyser]

yeah lmao

wild how people born past 2010 are now starting high school

[calm geyser]

ikik lmao

[calm geyser]

haven't figured that out yet though most of them are likely in tech

[languid prism]

wait thats insane to think about

[languid prism]

good choice

statistics is a great major I feel like

super interesting and great opps

[calm geyser]

it is

every number to me tells a story which is why i chose statistics

[warm token]

Yes but mostly bc of yield. We want to maximize our OOS $ while still complying with state law.

[dawn dome]

Pretty much yeah

[languid prism]

that makes sense

im treating UCSD as easier to get into than I initially though bc of this alone 😭

[calm geyser]

yeah

be prepared to go up against 150k+ people though

[raven tusk]

Sec sorority girls are a scary bunch

Frat bros too but they're just stupid

[tropic talon]

ucla jus got a huge part of their federal grants frozen 💔

[sick vessel]

That happened days ago. Where do you get your news, carrier pigeon?

[tidal mica]

The pony express

[tropic talon]

lmao no

i mean like it was only on the 7th that the amt was like half a bil that got revoked/frozen

[ashen sky]

it was 200 mil before why it going up

[languid prism]

do u think its a bad choice for a backup?

[raven tusk]

What's ur major

[languid prism]

like i'm not saying its the easiest school to get into but I didn't realize UCSD has higher rates for OOS kids + I should be above median SAT

[raven tusk]

Again

I forgot

[languid prism]

econ or poli sci

[raven tusk]

Ucsd is excellent

[languid prism]

prob econ

[languid prism]

okay perf

[raven tusk]

I got waitlisted with a GPA that is above median

[languid prism]

oh wow

[raven tusk]

So be wary

[languid prism]

what the fuck

why is college admissions so annoying

makes no sense

[raven tusk]

It's ok I don't wanna go to a college with pedophile professors

[languid prism]

im also applying to state flagship and one other LAC with a 33% acceptance rate so hopefully thats enough backup 😭

[languid prism]

waitt what is this abt??

[raven tusk]

Ur chilling

[raven tusk]

Look kt up

[languid prism]

fuck okay

I've never heard ab this

[languid prism]

oh wow

just read it

he went to H and MIT too thats crazy

not saying going to those schools prevents this behavior

but just crazy how he'd throw out his reputaton like that

wonder if he'll get let go??

[placid crystal]

Bro called it H

[languid prism]

I always do 😭

[placid crystal]

The only person I’ve ever seen call it that is @rugged jungle

[calm geyser]

lmao h as in harvard?

[calm geyser]

anyway

last night decided to come up with more characters for my 10th grade story lol

as mentioned before 3/4 of the main cast go to ucs (sd, d and i)

[languid prism]

YESS lol

I always just say H Y or P

bc they carry enough weight

or M and S

[calm geyser]

i see

y = yale
p = penn

what's m and s though

[languid prism]

yess exactly

[languid prism]

mit and stanford lol

[calm geyser]

ah

[languid prism]

have u ever heard HYPSM

thats why I have the letters but I only use it for those schools

[calm geyser]

yes though i never knew what the term meant

[languid prism]

Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Stanford

[calm geyser]

i see

[languid prism]

Yes they are the top 5 usually always on the us news ranking

[calm geyser]

basically hypsm refers to the top us schools

[languid prism]

which is why they have that acronym

[languid prism]

exactly

[warm token]

No that story was insane wtf

[calm geyser]

ucsd is wild ngl

first avaneesh now this

😭

[zinc coral]

they don’t look at SAT/ACT scores

[calm geyser]

ucs don't care much about sat/act in admissions

or really at all

[languid prism]

I just realized that 😭

[languid prism]

Are they ever planning to bring it back or is it abolished for good?

[calm geyser]

the latter bc it's been like this since 2020

[dense pumice]

Abolished

[languid prism]

how do they even distinugish between applicants if they don't take SAT anymore lol

[calm geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gambling-gambler-gif-572068894331490223

reading everything about their application

if they're on the waitlist some ucs will allow students to submit their senior first semester grades as part of the process

[languid prism]

LMAOO So real

[languid prism]

ahhh okay

that makes sense

UC system is wild

[calm geyser]

yeah its possible for someone to be rejected/waitlisted from everywhere except for berkeley/la, rejected/waitlisted everywhere but riverside, or somehow bagging all the ucs they applied for

to name a few

[languid prism]

wow

college admissions just in general has gotten so out of hand

bc theres so many kids gunning for top schools and not enough/big enough schoools for all the talent

and at some point you literally just cannt distinguish one person's talent from another

[calm geyser]

yep and thats only intensified bc of technology

[languid prism]

theres a video that was even made like 12 years ago showing AO's that said "I don't know why i put my hand up sometimes"

for admitting kids

like its crazy

it's not his fault either its just how prestige has warped society

[calm geyser]

yep

[languid prism]

ChatGPT is getting insane

[calm geyser]

coughs in varisty blues

[calm geyser]

EXACTLY

[languid prism]

theres a new NYT article that is SO eye opening

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/technology/ai-chatbots-delusions-chatgpt.html

actually insane

[calm geyser]

scary ngl

[languid prism]

its so dystopian beyond belief

[calm geyser]

literal rat race

yeah

[languid prism]

no like I have a friend who wants to go to wharton and hes just doing random stuff bc he wants to just be a banker in nyc with no soul/passion

[calm geyser]

don't even get me started on some of the college influencers out there promoting this shit 😭 ✋

[languid prism]

like theres nothing behind prestige its all a facade usually

[calm geyser]

yep

[languid prism]

the tiktok influencers PMO

[calm geyser]

ikr

[languid prism]

they're ALWAYS sponspored by something

Ivy league roadmap 💀

his takes are diabolical

"writing a book is an ivy admissions hack"

What 💀

anyone can write a whack ass book lmfao

[calm geyser]

hypocrisy too bc he didn't even go to ivy

lmao

[languid prism]

he says he got in to some but didnt go bc of financial aid

which makes me question why he likes them so much

[calm geyser]

true

[languid prism]

if he didn't wanna take on debt for them

[calm geyser]

ikr

[languid prism]

I usually like talking to people who just recrntly got into these schools

[calm geyser]

ivy league roadmap also likes to trash on people with less fortunate activities that arent internships or rocket science

[languid prism]

bc they actually went through it recently not 25 years ago when acceptance rates were sky high to what they are now

[calm geyser]

yeah same

[languid prism]

they have the best takes + they are credible

[calm geyser]

yep

[languid prism]

IK it pisses me off, not everyone has access to internships and senators phone numbers

he was like "we got the senator to share the book" okay and I bet the kid had a direct connection to the senator

[calm geyser]

for comparison ucla's acceptance rate in 2017 was around 16% (source: conan gray's ucla video)
now it's just under 10%

[languid prism]

IK and even like going further the rates used to be sm higher

[calm geyser]

ikr

[languid prism]

idk tho I feel like a lot of kids are going into trades now

[calm geyser]

in the 90s ucsd was like 50-40%

[languid prism]

and not going to college

esp men

[calm geyser]

yep

[languid prism]

absolutely insane

[languid prism]

but I feel like everyones asking the wrong question

its not "is college worth it?" its "why is college so out of reach for people?"

[calm geyser]

exactly

[languid prism]

if you want to get a 4 yeae degree you shouldn't have to plumb instead

[calm geyser]

ikr

[languid prism]

like im sick of people telling kids they need to "take matters into their own hands" when politcians do absolutely nothing to help them afford anything

its not the individual at fault

[calm geyser]

EXACTLY

while im blessed to have parents who are willing to do and pay anything if it means their children get an education it breaks my heart to see people crumble like this just for an education

[calm geyser]

or at its worst, cut down the opportunities kids have

[languid prism]

I recently watched a documentary about people who were living such miserable lives bc they took out student loans and are now in lower paying professions (public hs teacher) and at the end of it they say "kids need to really consider if going into debt for college is worth it when theres so many things you can do without a degree" and its like, why can't a kid go learn about the world if they want to? Why are we subjugating everyone to the trades and making education so out of reach when it quite literally bridges socio-economic divides

[languid prism]

people should not have to worry financially about going to school, absolutely ridiculous

it only does good to society

its not like its a waste of time

[calm geyser]

exactly

[tidal mica]

This is why I am very glad my parents are paying for most of my college

[languid prism]

like its not like wealthy poeple are going into trades

[calm geyser]

same here

[tidal mica]

Loans are insane and I’m glad I mostly get around that

[languid prism]

so obviouslty there is a value to education

[calm geyser]

ofc

education is how you break a cycle regardless of whether it's trade or uni

[languid prism]

absolutely diabolical, why are kids getting charged credit card interest rates when they sign up at 17??

[calm geyser]

criminal as hell

[languid prism]

and then right when they graduate forced to start dealing with it

and I don't even blame banks, they are just actors in a corrupt system. Washington is doing absolutely nothing when they are the ones who can easily flip the switch

[tidal mica]

This is why I’m very happy financial aid is expanding as time passes even though it’ll likely never be useful for me

[calm geyser]

same

[tidal mica]

So many of my friends from very poor families are going to amazing schools for free

The cycle is breaking

[calm geyser]

yeah thats sweet

[tidal mica]

And that’s a beautiful thing

[languid prism]

yes and we have people in office now trying to get rid of that

[calm geyser]

disgusting

[tidal mica]

Yes it’s awful

[languid prism]

time and time again education has always been the single thing to break people out of poverty

every single time

[languid prism]

idk if we can get political on here but the admin is just absolutely disgusting

[languid prism]

did you see they are just now requesting UCLA to pay 1 Billion

[calm geyser]

don't go too far but i agree

[languid prism]

I believe it happened just a few hours ago

[tidal mica]

What the fuck?

[calm geyser]

creature

ikr

[languid prism]

yeah, biggest payment as of yet

[calm geyser]

extortion

[languid prism]

and it's like these schools literally cure cancer

[calm geyser]

EXTORTION

[languid prism]

and there he goes using a kid with cancer as a puppet when hes actively defunding hopsitals and research

[tidal mica]

Christ this is insane

[calm geyser]

im mad about the timeline to the point i question the purpose of the characters and stories i write every single day

[languid prism]

and like the idea that DEI is going away is obsene, like expecting people from poorer backrounds to have the same access to SAT resources is just cruel

[calm geyser]

exactly

[languid prism]

I swear some people just cannot look at basic data

its not even political its fact

all of the cabinet are DEI hires too btw

[calm geyser]

peak hypocrisy

[languid prism]

lmao so real

I acutally can't believe I wake up to a new horror story every single morning

[tidal mica]

Trump is also going hard on the antisemitism investigations when he regularly associates with nazis and spreads hate

[languid prism]

like why is this normal?

[tidal mica]

This is bullshit

[languid prism]

Yea its absolutely insane

[calm geyser]

ikr

[languid prism]

he wants to get rid of racism on college campuses as he says and then goes and deports immigrants

weird 🤔

[calm geyser]

superman is an immigrant as if he wasn't just thrown down from space down to his earth parents' home with nothing on him aside from the blanket

be like superman

[tidal mica]

He probably thinks racism is only good if it affects disadvantaged groups

[languid prism]

exactly

[calm geyser]

yep

[languid prism]

gosh I love the CA people, I live in a more red area and hateeee it

u guys get it

[calm geyser]

i get it too as a texan

i can't wait to leave my hometown

[languid prism]

oh yea I have family in TX that are ultra red and like I cannot stand the uneducated views

[tidal mica]

I’m lucky that even my older family members are quite liberal

[sick vessel]

Hellur my UC people. I have ucla orientation in a month. But a class I need for my minor has 2 spots left. It’s not popular at all, so we pray

[tidal mica]

My grandparents at least

[languid prism]

thats good ur lucky lol

[tidal mica]

We don’t mention the great uncles and whatever

[calm geyser]

wishing you all the best jay i believe in you

i also have davis orientation in a month

[tidal mica]

Damn you got a late orientation

Mine is next week

[languid prism]

seeing old people fight against fascism gives me hope

[tidal mica]

Yep

[languid prism]

esp when young ppl wont do anything

[tidal mica]

I was at the protests earlier this year and saw a bunch of old people

Some Vietnam vets were out there

[calm geyser]

yep

[languid prism]

so heartwarming

[calm geyser]

reminds me how star wars started out as a vietnam allegory

[languid prism]

yes and so many ppl dont even get that

[calm geyser]

exactly

[languid prism]

like they watch and read at surface level

its honestly so sad

or the "its not that deep"

trend

[calm geyser]

same with superman and captain america 😭

[languid prism]

everything has a deeper meaning

[calm geyser]

everything is made with a purpose

[languid prism]

literally live most Disney movies have such deeper themes if u look closely

[calm geyser]

especially media

[tidal mica]

Not the sequel trilogy

[languid prism]

I recently watched Princess and Frog like I haven't seen thar since I was like 7 and its insane how much they were conveying

[tidal mica]

The allegory in Star Wars is super interesting

[calm geyser]

stan dottie and her supportive dad

[languid prism]

LMAO

[languid prism]

yess

[languid prism]

did any of u guys watch thar new star wars show

I forget the name

but apparently it was about capitalism I believe?

[tidal mica]

Andor?

[calm geyser]

andor

[tidal mica]

That’s the new one people say is good

Haven’t watched it but my friends love it

[languid prism]

YES

I haven't watched it

but I heard it has very deep themes

[calm geyser]

yep

every media does

examples
star trek = importance of diversity (made in the 60s too)
superman = kindness and positive leadership
x men = embracing differences amongst people (this can apply to any superhero who aren't exactly human)

[languid prism]

I feel like every single work of art has always critiqued society

[calm geyser]

yes

[languid prism]

like its always a response/critique to something

I feel dumb for just recently have realized that but like nobody ever told me that lol

[calm geyser]

dw

[languid prism]

But I also feel like ppl don't want us to know that

[calm geyser]

yep

[languid prism]

bc its much safer to look at things simply as entertainment than as a critique of the status quo

[calm geyser]

yes

thats pretty much why

[languid prism]

and thats my theory for why the humanities has been massivly underfunded

and not supported

[calm geyser]

exactly

[languid prism]

bc its always been the change driver

[calm geyser]

yes

as a stem major progress cannot exist without the humanities

[languid prism]

like whenever someone says "history degree, have fun working at a coffee shop" I think like that is exactly what they want you to think when see someone studying history lol

[languid prism]

love that you get it, I'm also a potential physics major and I value both equally

they quite literally could not exist without the other

[calm geyser]

exactly

you’ve pretty much summed up why ucs want you to take art and social science classes alongside your stem major classes 🤷

[tidal mica]

Stem majors have such a superiority complex sometimes

I wanted to major in history but I didn’t really like the careers so decided to do Econ and minor or double in history

[calm geyser]

ikr

[sick vessel]

Tyy and gl!

[sick vessel]

I chose the latest possible

Cause I’m in CO all summer for work

[calm geyser]

thanks

[sick vessel]

The Colorado Legislature is going into a special session on aug. 21 but my last day is set for aug. 29. My boss said he could find funding for me to stay till the session ends. Let’s hope it ends before my orientation 💀

My orientation is on sept. 4

[calm geyser]

good luck

[languid prism]

yes, and albeit UCs are not traditional LACs, this is the very reasion the liberal arts is such an important academic environment

I do believe a liberal arts education is one of the only ways to truly be well-rounded on the world instead of being hyper-focused on one thing and completely neglecting the other

[calm geyser]

absolutely

[near hatch]

officially rejected from ucsd

[verbal garden]

same 😜

[calm geyser]

🫡

its been a good run

waiting for sach now

[ashen sky]

So thats the end

only uci wl still open?

ucla is def closed even if people are still on it

No way they let more people off in august

[calm geyser]

yeah especially when orientation is in one month from now

[near hatch]

i'm still on the uci wl so ig so

[ashen sky]

wth

uci wl cannot be allat 😭

they acting like theyre harvard

[near hatch]

they're being mysterious

[calm geyser]

lmao

uci imho is the most unhinged uc

[ashen sky]

i got off uci wl in may 🥀 are they being fr rn

crazy work

[calm geyser]

some people are accepted to ucsd/ucla/berkeley and theyre rejected uci 😭

[ashen sky]

everyone at my school besides one got wl by uci even if they got into like fucking cornell

Yield protection ong

[calm geyser]

damn

i got wl uci

[ashen sky]

i only know like 3 people who got in without wl 😭

[calm geyser]

most unhinged uc

uci

[near hatch]

idek why i applied and accepted the wl spot there bc i didn't even rlly like the campus or area

[calm geyser]

ik once i got off the davis waitlist i was def not going to uci

hard committed since the day i got off

anyway throwback to the time i drew this in january (i was rejected from ucsd lmao)

[near hatch]

i regularly posted manifesting ucsd related things on my close friends and private insta 😭

i even manifested it in my letter to my senior self from freshmen year 💀💀

[calm geyser]

LMAO

i prayed together with one of my classmates that we'd get into ucsd together somehow

[near hatch]

my reaction to getting waitlisted at ucsd was worse then my reaction to getting broken up with 😓

i was too down bad for a school that didn't want me

[calm geyser]

me with being waitlisted uci 😭

i simply texted my mom "holy shit" when i got rejected from ucsd

[near hatch]

i was actually so embarrassingly depressed over it i had to cancel all my bday plans (for the next day)

like talk abt being a drama queen

[calm geyser]

aw :<

[near hatch]

things happen for a reason tho like ucsb was just so goated ucsd had to step down to let me have this opportunity duh

[calm geyser]

me with davis even though i held it the same way as ucsd as my top 2 schools

i still remember when i got off the davis waitlist i just shouted for my mom to come upstairs

that time ive never seen her so happy

same with my dad

my mom bragged to all of the family friends and her colleagues

[near hatch]

davis became a strong contender for me when i was trying to actually decide between my options but i never considered it a top school bc it's too close to home and family, among other things

[calm geyser]

i see

[near hatch]

bro my mom told all the ppl at her work i got wl at ucsd 😓

[calm geyser]

my mom also bragged to her colleagues and friends about the schools my friends were going to

between me and my friend group, we were going to the following:

• uc davis
• jhu
• florida
• tamu
• ut austin
• upenn

[near hatch]

okay yeah mom is valid to flex you guys

most my friends are going to our cc or a nearby csu

once i decided on ucsb tho my coworkers would tell every customer that would listen abt where i was going 😭

[calm geyser]

LMAO

my classmates also wondered about where i was going

everyone was talking about tamu and ut austin (reminder that my high school is a feeder for those two) then there's me with uc davis (rejected from aforementioned)

[near hatch]

i was gonna give my ucsd sweatshirt to whoever i knew going to ucsd but literally nobody at my school committed there this year (unless they kept it on the dl)

[calm geyser]

aw

im just going to keep my sweatshirt for fun then again i will invest in a davis sweatshirt

[near hatch]

from what ik the only ppl who got accepted to ucsd at my school also got accepted to better schools/schools they wanted more

[near hatch]

i'm posting mine on fb marketplace atp i need money

[calm geyser]

lmao facebook market place is wild

[near hatch]

i'm a fb marketplace fein i've sold sm on there

[calm geyser]

lmao how was it

[near hatch]

i only do it with local people and meetup at a parking lot of a grocery store or drop off at their house 😭

i need my old hoco dresses to sell tho i need the money 😓

😇😇

[ashen sky]

[near hatch]

so true

[tidal mica]

My fellow Sal who got into ucla as well got wl or reject by uci

UCI has diabolical yield protection

They mostly accept the people who aren’t getting into sd/la/berk from my hs

[sick vessel]

I don’t believe in yield protection generally but yeah UCI is the exception

[tidal mica]

Yield protection is usually copium but ye uci definitely does it fr

[sick vessel]

I have a friend who pulled all of HYPS (didn’t apply to M) and got WL’d instate at UCI

[raven tusk]

Same

[icy delta]

Opening up the UC application for the first time

Let's do this!

[calm geyser]

good luck i believe in you where do you plan on applying

[icy delta]

All UCs would really love to get into UCLA or UCSD though

California resident too

[calm geyser]

oh yeah ucsd bc you're called "tritonist" lol

[icy delta]

Pure coincidence but it is fitting lol

[calm geyser]

true

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1350216460554735636/1362668544793251970/IMG_5577.gif

the power of diana will bless you

[icy delta]

So what I’m getting at for the PIQs is don’t be flowery but do give specific examples and not just generalized answers?

I tried writing some toward the end of junior year but they lowkey fell flat

[calm geyser]

be straight forward so yeah they don't want flowery essays like commonapp

between uc and commonapp it's like going out to get ice cream where the ucs ask for plain vanilla and commonapp just gets random flavors with every topping ever lmao

ofc give specific examples

describe how every example felt to you

[icy delta]

Sounds good

[calm geyser]

ryuji wishes yall uc applicants the best :>

[languid prism]

thank you!

[raven tusk]

Don't apply to ucsd they r shit

Teehee

[raven tusk]

I'm saving mine for when I bag that summer internship at Scripps next year

[raven tusk]

Don't die

[raven tusk]

This is giving splatoon vibes

[raven tusk]

Same lol after some thinking I realized that
a. If I got off the waitlist I wouldn't get Data science
b. Saying "I'm double majoring in probability and statistics and oceanic and atmospheric sciences" is a mouthful
C. Davis allows me to double major easily

[fair nest]

how much tougher is getting into EECS / ECE at berkeley compared to LAS (physics) 😭

[signal canopy]

????

oh

physics

nevermind

[late terrace]

really? i heard rumors that it was returning this year

[late terrace]

berk: wl
LA: Accept
SD: Accept
Irvine: Accept
Davis: Reject
SB: Reject
Riverside: Reject

uc admissions are so wack sometimes

[calm geyser]

ikr

[sick vessel]

It’s gone for good. It as part of a court settlement years ago

[signal canopy]

how i feel getting accepted everyhere knowing i shouldve been rejected

[tropic talon]

i mean the settlement is expiring this year

BOARS also brought up test scores as a topic and the DoE 'dear colleague' letter + DoJ investigations

[dense pumice]

Rumors and murmurings aren’t action, every 10 years they say they’re putting the Ucs back on the semester system but that’s yet to happen

[zinc coral]

I also heard rumors they were making some standardized test js for the UCs then nothing happened 💔

[dense pumice]

They did actually work on this

[late terrace]

hmm i see

[zinc coral]

is there a likelihood it actually goes into effect within like the next few years tho

[sick vessel]

Very low likelihood

[dense pumice]

No i heard sd and Berkeley food is mid

Davis is a small town so you're gonna find good food anywhere

Ucla and ucd have the best food in the ucs by far and that is something generally agreed upon

[ashen sky]

sd is top 10 on the list of best college food tho

[raven tusk]

Blah blah fuck sd

It's probably usd tho

[ashen sky]

piqs are just info dumping

it still has to be well written but just answer the prompt directly and concisely while fitting everything relevant as much as possible

[warm token]

Idk that’s fine as long you answer the questions and ideally try to highlight something different personality wise in each of them

[ashen sky]

i wrote every single pig about shrimp

ts 350 words

4 was already so much writing

especially since i did it last minute 🥀

wth

at least ur like revising tho

i submitted first drafts

you still have like 3 months so you should spam more practice

make multiple copies

play around with the prompts

[warm token]

I think for mine I did something about election forecasting, playing viola, why I loved math, and Scioly or something 😭

I forgot which fit which prompts

[ashen sky]

i should've joined scioly earlier 🥀

[warm token]

The forecasting was the creative one I think

Idk how that works

Ig it was quirky

I made a model

I got 48/50 states right in 2020

[ashen sky]

was it that predictable

[warm token]

Idk

I think I got NC and GA wrong

But like the difference was like 1% for each

Or less

So it was reasonable

I just looked at polls and turnout and some demographic cross tabs/oversamples idk

And plugged them into a fancy spreadsheet

The spreadsheet was pretty good for 2024 too I went 49/50… 😭

Now for margins 😬😬😬😬

Anyways

Yeah

Creativity

[tidal mica]

Good school + wealth

[signal canopy]

do you have an example?

im not at ucla yet but ive eaten at de neve and bplate. theyre pretty good

like i would buy this food

[tidal mica]

It’s real

Just ate there this morning

[signal canopy]

which dining hall

[tropic talon]

https://tenor.com/view/soldier-ww2-traumatized-meme-eyes-gif-12257475272172704406

[tidal mica]

Bplate

Signing up for my classes rn and am only doing geneds

[dense pumice]

It’s that good

[dense pumice]

Why

R u undeclared

[tidal mica]

I’m Econ and they really reccomend we don’t take Econ first quarter

I also have credit for Econ 1 and 2 already so would need to start with Econ 11(which is calc-based)

And I need to do some serious calc review before I do that

[dense pumice]

Oh yeah that’s what my roommate did

She struggled a lot cause she didn’t do Econ 1 or 2

[tidal mica]

I’m gonna review both before I do the next Econ fs

Astronomy lowk looks fun

[dense pumice]

That’s good what Calc r u doing

[tidal mica]

Will probably do that, a cluster, and something else

[tidal mica]

I have credit for 31a and 31b

[dense pumice]

Do like theater 10 or an easy online one

[dense pumice]

Ohh

[tidal mica]

But I barely remember calc since my teacher missed second semester and taught it to myself

[signal canopy]

YES

[dense pumice]

You can prob still do 31a/b

[tidal mica]

So I gotta review that stuff before I do any classes using calc

[signal canopy]

OH MY GOD ITS SO GOOD

YES 100%

they cycle too much though imo but lowk peak food

[tidal mica]

They don’t let us retake classes we have credit for

[signal canopy]

but maybe it’s because i mostly went on fridays and i felt they cycled within like 3w

[dense pumice]

There’s ways around that

[signal canopy]

i forget

[dense pumice]

But yeah

Do an easy online ge

[signal canopy]

ruby when r you gonna be in town

[dense pumice]

Cause you’re never getting the opportunity again

[signal canopy]

i neeed to introduce u to my partnerrrr

[dense pumice]

Unless youre regents and have priority

[dense pumice]

Sept 17th!

[signal canopy]

OKAY wait i think im gonna move in then

[dense pumice]

Maybe a few days after that

Fire

[signal canopy]

or just move some stuff bcs i do want to keep some stuff at my partner’s

bgs is gonna give me a good amount of what i need anyway for my dorm so it’s chill

[tidal mica]

Because of scheduling dates?

[dense pumice]

Yeah all the jrs srs and sophomores fill those up real fast

[tidal mica]

I’m a junior by credits

So I get to sign up earlier for most quarters lol

[dense pumice]

You did cc?

[tidal mica]

I have 100 credits total

Mix of cc and ap

[dense pumice]

Only cc counts

[tidal mica]

Fr?

[dense pumice]

Yeah

I had 78 AP creds lol

[tidal mica]

Dang my nsa slimed me

[dense pumice]

Do you have mostly cc

Also please don’t go around saying you’re a jr by creds to people

[tidal mica]

I wouldn’t

[tidal mica]

Mostly ap

[dense pumice]

Yeah gg

[tidal mica]

💔

[dense pumice]

I’d take 2 easy online geneds + cluster

And sign up for a 4th

[tidal mica]

I wanna take actual classes though

[dense pumice]

Everyone does until it takes away time from ecs and club recruiting and stuff

And also you def can geneds r very stupid

[signal canopy]

jr by credits is a stupid concept bcs like u can have like 200 sem units going into (ucla) and not have any upper divs so im not graduating that early

[tidal mica]

Just cooked up the most diabolical schedule

[tidal mica]

I never expected I would do some of these xlasses

Let’s hope I get them

[tiny zephyr]

The photos and videos are sometimes a bit much but yes it is very good food

Having eaten there I appreciated the cycling and options

And this was during the summer

However the lines were MISERABLE

But overall very good

In two weeks, the line for blaze pizza was an hour long in the summer three different times

Blaze pizza

In the summer

[calm geyser]

It's not that good

It's ok sometimes

And yet it took an hour to get it
