oh

#

thats gotta have such a low rate though glglgl

meager ivy
#

ong

#

they said same as the school

#

so like ~11%

#

and then ~11% of applicants to that program get in

last mist
#

I mean like

meager ivy
#

fml

cosmic kayak
last mist
#

I would assume the applicant pool is abysmally small

meager ivy
#

ye

#

200ish

#

last year

cosmic kayak
#

how many slots

meager ivy
#

not capped

#

but they're SELECTIVE

last mist
#

i think at 200 volume its just accepting good fits

cosmic kayak
meager ivy
#

yeah lowkey

cosmic kayak
#

grades definitely dont matter

#

just because everyone has a 4.0

meager ivy
#

so roughly 11%

cosmic kayak
#

freaky

meager ivy
#

my CC Bs are not helping

cosmic kayak
#

lowkey

#

CC b is better than a high school grade though

#

right

#

because you did a year of college

#

thats like ur gonna succeed

opal summit
#

for ucsd, does it mean all majors are given same consideration except the high impact ones?

atomic sentinel
#

I mean I'm full time cc but still

#

the hard part is just the logistics I guess

steel dome

atomic sentinel
steel dome
steel dome
#

#

i have the og drafts lol

#

i jus rewrote it so much it detects now

#

idk why

cosmic kayak
#

as long as they are personal it shold be okay

#

just avoid achievment listing, empty platitudes, etc

steel dome
#

lol

#

😭

cosmic kayak
#

me neither i have none

steel dome
#

most of them are about how bum i was

#

before taking a class

#

and finding my passion

#

All the opps go to berkeley be fr

stoic pawn
#

#

ashen sky
#

they just cheated in class and im really confused

buoyant axle
#

js lemme in ucs fr

zealous summit
raven tusk
#

This one dude from my school

#

Genuinely a POS

#

I see him liking the LinkedIn posts of that one insufferable sextuple major at berkeley so you can get an idea

raven tusk
#

Got into berk tho ig so a wins a win

stoic pawn
#

i keep getting like 60-70% done with a piq and then im too lazy to finish it rn

#

cuz imo the most annoying part is writing conclusion

sick vessel
stoic pawn
#

do u just take more classes?

sick vessel
stoic pawn
#

yea i also need to know

stoic pawn
#

berk is my fav uc

ashen sky
#

but their grad school is top tier so ig it works out

#

biggest thing is that their housing situation is actually so unbelievably cooked

stoic pawn
#

i like berk bc its the one closest to me

ashen sky
#

their dorms are cooked

#

some don't even get dorms

#

some are homeless

stoic pawn
ashen sky
#

they overadmit yknow

stoic pawn
#

how is that even possible

ashen sky
#

theres a reason why 0 people get off the waitlist

#

even when people withdraw

stoic pawn
#

bruh

ashen sky
#

if ur not afraid of the grind berkeley is perfect tho

#

and if you can commute ur prolly very chill

stoic pawn
#

see the grind is a future me problem

ashen sky
#

tho i dunno anyone who unironically lives in berkeley

stoic pawn
#

so its doesnt affect my present self's opinions

stoic pawn
#

50 min away i think

ashen sky
ashen sky
#

at least yall have bart or whatever

stoic pawn
#

but its cool bc its acceptance rate is so low so im prob not gonna get in

ashen sky
#

you never know icl

stoic pawn
#

yea thats y i still apply

#

cuz gambling is fun

ashen sky
#

berkely is genuinely the most rng UC campus

#

based

stoic pawn
#

i ❀️ rng

ashen sky
#

i love using college apps as gacha

#

thats why i applied to 30

stoic pawn
#

yep

stoic pawn
#

thats so much

#

uc as 1 ?

tiny zephyr
ashen sky
#

nah i counted every uc separately

#

cuz those piqs are torture

stoic pawn
stoic pawn
#

so im applying to like 23 counting that way

tiny zephyr
#

Probably

stoic pawn
tiny zephyr
#

I don't know the exact method

stoic pawn
#

yea that makes more sense

ashen sky
#

if we're going by individual apps i applied to like 19 or something

#

sextuple major is still insane

#

even if they're doing the most efficient way

stoic pawn
#

yea

ashen sky
#

like genuinely i would call mental health services on whoever does that

#

cuz wtf

stoic pawn
#

wait but if u double major does that mean u can go to like a diff college?

tiny zephyr
#

Wdym

stoic pawn
#

like instead of the l&s one

ashen sky
#

depends

stoic pawn
#

u can go to the engineering one

tiny zephyr
#

Oh

#

Yeah it depends

stoic pawn
#

or the cs one

#

oh is it like u need to apply

ashen sky
#

it is way harder to be l&s and do dual engineering

#

than it is to be engineering and do dual l&s

#

i think

#

most of the time

stoic pawn
#

o

#

ok]

ashen sky
#

depends on the school tho icl

#

and i don't know much about each individual uc

stoic pawn
#

im guessing based on username

#

oh wait

#

no thats

#

usc

#

close enough

#

same area

#

ish

ashen sky
#

i got wl by ucla so good enough πŸ₯€

#

ofc they didn't let me off happythumbsup

stoic pawn
ashen sky
#

a decent amount

#

i most likely got cooked by my very very very bad senior grades

stoic pawn
ashen sky
#

i had 2 Cs in senior year

#

like that will cook you

stoic pawn
ashen sky
#

?

#

Cs in ap physics

stoic pawn
#

C stands for college right

ashen sky
#

no

stoic pawn
#

bruh i was told c was good enough for 2nd sem

ashen sky
#

like the grade

stoic pawn
#

yea the grade

ashen sky
stoic pawn
#

like its good enough to not get rescided

ashen sky
#

and they will send you a warning letter for sure

#

and UCs don't want to see more than 2

stoic pawn
#

okok

#

so maybe i need to acutally do work in 2nd sem

ashen sky
#

but yeah you want to get at least Bs to stay chill

#

and ideally not all Bs

stoic pawn
#

well

#

im only taking 4 classes next semester

#

should be chill enough

ashen sky
#

senior year rigor πŸ₯€

stoic pawn
#

and that rounds to 6 if u really think about it

ashen sky
stoic pawn
#

(4 also rounds to 6)

#

anything to not write uc piqs

ashen sky
#

ashen sky

stoic pawn
ashen sky

Clairemont vs claremont πŸ₯Ά

warm token
#

true

#

they have new dorms now πŸ”₯

#

but yea we were the third

stoic pawn
#

my strat for choosing sd college is js pick newest

#

cuz newest would have the bestest facilities right?

warm token
#

pick the ones with newest facilities so itd be like marshall/sixth/eighth/seventh at the top i think

#

idk man im in grad housing now

stoic pawn
#

so its six seven

#

i think i did eight six seven and then the other newer one

#

on the application

#

that i havent yet submitted

#

but if marshall has new facilities

#

i might need to pick that

raven tusk

tiny zephyr
#

One of two campuses to have a train go through it

#

And for Davis its Amtrak so not the same

#

Having a trolley connect to campus is very cool

raven tusk
little elm
#

is this for asking about application advice/help to the UCs?

#

this chat

#

😞

raven tusk
little elm
#

any advice for filling out uc activity list? I'm not sure how much to write because I don't have 350 words of things to describe while keeping it concise

#

also for awards and activities, do I include like certificates recieved for the corresponding activity AND the activity as separate things?

#

😭 πŸ™

#

bro im so cooked

cloud bison
little elm
#

and im trying to find a good # of activities to acc fill out

#

is 10 too little?

cloud bison
#

10 is fine

#

qual > quant

little elm
#

would adding more harm my application

#

like i shouldnt include an activity if it isnt a leadership role for example

#

like if i was just a member or something

cloud bison
#

doubt it unless they are super irrelevent or written poorly

cloud bison
little elm
#

okay

cloud bison
#

i put literal hobbies on mine

little elm
#

you go to ucsd?

cloud bison
#

yeh

little elm
#

how hard is it to change majors

cloud bison
#

what major do u want to change into

little elm
#

im genuinely unsure what i want to major in but im putting public health right now since everything ive done aligns with it

#

but i wonder if its hard to switch out

cloud bison
#

its extremely easy to change majors (for the most part), its literally a click of a button (literally)

little elm
#

like after you get accepted

cloud bison
#

yes

little elm
#

oh wow

cloud bison
#

thats for nonimpacted majors tho

little elm
#

srry what does that mean

cloud bison
#

as far as im concerned engineering, compsci, datasci, you cant change into without a pretty tough process

#

bio used to but not anymore

little elm
#

ohh okok

tiny zephyr
cloud bison
tiny zephyr
#

So if you want to do an impacted major

cloud bison
#

these are the impacted

tiny zephyr
#

Apply to it now

little elm
#

ohh

#

so if i apply into an impacted major i can switch out

#

but its hard to switch into one

tiny zephyr
#

Because its easier to switch out of it than into it

#

Yes

cloud bison
ashen sky
#

the major i got into for ucsd was impacted and then right after decision day they said "its not impacted anymore!!!"

little elm
#

ohh okkk

cloud bison
#

same thing at most schools tbh

cloud bison
ashen sky
#

ye

tiny zephyr
#

There was a guy at my hs who applied to UCLA as Jewish studies

#

Got in

#

But

#

He wanted CS

little elm
#

is this discord for like specific help or just questions

tiny zephyr
#

He is no longer getting cs last I heard

cloud bison
#

thats hard though because CS is a diff dept isn't it?

#

CS should be in samueli

little elm
#

if anyone can help if my activities are good or i should put m ore or remove some

tiny zephyr
little elm
#

πŸ†˜

tiny zephyr
#

That's my point there

cloud bison
ashen sky
#

i put reading manga i think yall are fine with whatever small thing

cloud bison
#

if its reasonable it works

#

just dont have more than 100 hours of activities in a week or smth stupid

ashen sky
#

that shit takes like 5 minutes

cloud bison
#

most descriptions should work, talk about what you did and responsibilities u had

#

traits gained are good

#

and stuff shit into the title as well to save word count

ashen sky
#

gained appreciation for the beauty of life fr

#

if you add some character into your apps the aos will enjoy it fr

#

two minutes πŸ’€

#

whyd that all get purged

fickle folio
#

common app is based on ur time zone?

#

i submitted by ED at like 3am nov 2nd

fickle folio
#

yeah lmao

#

thats seems kinda weird tho why dont they just use a standardized time

#

like if it didnt work i'd have just told my friends in the US to submit for me

#

or is that not allowed

zealous summit

I mostly did that in piqs

commonapp felt so restricted

#

here i can add learnings and reflection/context in piqs and description/what i did/accomplishments in much more detail in ecs

ashen sky
#

You wanna equalize the timezones

#

You might not sleep but other people do

humble walrus
#

is it worth putting random hobbies as an ec like im seeing other ppl do it but it feels so random to

timid agate
#

idk i was debating that too

#

it could be fluff and detract from main focus but on the other hand i was like why not just show them what else u do

calm geyser
buoyant tree
#

guys do we think its time to start my uc apps

calm geyser
#

2 days before the deadline 😭

buoyant tree
#

we ball

#

i can just reuse half of my common app stuff

stuck lion
humble walrus
# calm geyser what are the hobbies and how long have you been doing them

the only ones i feel that could "add" smth to my app would be doing hella jigsaw puzzles since 6 yrs ago like biweekly. I just got into graphic designing my own puzzles as I've wanted to make a puzzle business 😭. idk this one may feel redundant since i metnion puzzles in an essay already and i barely started the graphic design part of it

#

i used to geocache too hella but stopped recently so prob not a good idea. was gonna make a common app essay abt traveling and connecting that somehow

#

every other hobby i have have is obv filler

stoic pawn

1 more day

ill do it tomorrow

thanks twin

WE work better under pressure

humble walrus
stoic pawn
#

like i think i only have 5 good ones

humble walrus
#

im leaving mine at 14 cuz i feel like anything else would be so random lol

stoic pawn
#

my thought process is

#

if i filled 20

#

then they might think i have more that i didnt have the space to put

humble walrus
buoyant tree
#

im just copy and pasting my common app activities

#

i could not be bothered to rewrite

stoic pawn
#

i spent like

#

2 hours

#

to extend those to 350 char

#

by adding filler words

#

loll

buoyant tree
#

the lion is not bothered to do that

stoic pawn
humble walrus
#

i spent like 20 hrs on my uc list cuz i had no common app list done 😭

stoic pawn
buoyant tree
stoic pawn
#

more hours than ive spent on essays so far

buoyant tree
#

oh my god nevermind WHAT THE FUCk

#

its another 200 characters

stoic pawn
#

yea

humble walrus
#

i think imma spend like 10 hrs on essays total like ive spent the past 4 days rewriting everything

#

but atp dogshit is better than nothing

stoic pawn
#

thats my mentality rn

#

as someone who has yet to complete a single piq

buoyant tree
#

im gonna write them all in

#

2 hours

#

30 minutes for each one

humble walrus
#

me too but atp imma js speedwrite and js spend all my time revising instead of perfecting every sentence

stoic pawn
buoyant tree
#

they want you to be quirky i think

#

so im really quirky

#

so like im basically already at ucsd

#

???

stoic pawn
#

you only need to write 12 words per minute

#

to write 350 words in 30 minutes

#

and im p sure most people can type faster than that

#

so it should be free right

humble walrus
#

ive seen so much conflicting info on uc apps like they want u to be straightforward but there are so many example essays that have hella narrative

stoic pawn
humble walrus
stoic pawn

but maybe those narritives r the execption

you need to be direct but you want to incorporate your own style

basically your style but snappy and concise if possible

buoyant axle
#

finally sumbittted ucs

stoic pawn
#

2/4 done πŸ™‚

#

i might even be able to finish a day early at this rate

opal summit
#

should i talk about being a teacher assistant for ap bio in my additional info since i couldnt put it in activities list

#

or is that doing too much? the experience wasnt life changing, but i did start review sessions for the kids

atomic sentinel
atomic sentinel
#

if it was more important to you it would've gone in a piq

opal summit

it definitely wasnt that important

stoic pawn
#

im sure if u have space its not gonna be detrimental

opal summit
#

ty

stuck lion
stoic pawn
#

yup

#

and i finished 2 today

based on this pace

#

i can finish the other 2 tmr right

opal summit

stoic pawn
#

trust

stoic pawn

like what i do is like write everything but the conclusion for each piq

#

then work on the conclusion last

#

cuz i hate conclusions

little elm
# raven tusk Piq6 doesn't have to be a why major

i feel like it should though
Has your interest in the subject influenced you in choosing a major and/or future career? Have you been able to pursue coursework at a higher level in this subject (honors, AP, IB, college or university work)? Are you inspired to pursue this subject further at UC, and how might you do that?

#

or else its not a good piq to write about if you cant follow up with the last part

#

that u acc wanna do something with it in the future

#

but i already wrote the whole thing so idk anymore
