Transfer prolly doesnt even have housing at berk maybe
Ucla does tho
4 year guarantee
Thats why i was mad i got reject off wl
I needed that housing
For free
ucsd has decent food and some amazing ass dorms :)
plus the beach is hella close by and theres so much shit to do in sd
Why didnt they give me more aid
goofy ahh
(i just didnt wanna be 3 hours away from home)
lwk sd sounds better cuz atry has like the easiest ass premed classes
Meanwhile i am suffering
So hard
and look where you are now :))))
if u had to rank purely by dorms what would it be
for ucsd colleges
I am 20 minutes from home that is the only reason i went here icl
If it was based on cost id go to davis i had coa of 0
Maybe even negative
marshall > eighth > seventh > sixth
newest first p much
good shit
whats even better about eighth compared to seventh and sixth
im only doing muir because someone said the culture was good
From what i heard on triton days it was like the exact same
seventh is far
Just location diff
if i had to rank again based on everything I know now I would go eighth > seventh > marshall > sixth
private gym
thats really nice
i would use that
does marshall have that
no
I got into seventh i lwk want the food
The dining hall connected to my dorm rn has mid food
I need to walk to get better food smh
bistro is fire
buh
Nvm
Thats shit
I eat unlimited food
Thank god i didnt gain freshman 15
I gained freshman 5 💀
Chat dont eat fries and ice cream every day in college
Even if its free
i gained freshman -5
then whats the point 💔
Only five km per day
my 100k tuition money
"Once you start the submission and payment process, it'll be difficult to go back and make any changes."
what does difficult mean 🤨
tomorrow 11:59 pm pst!!
3am on the 2nd
damn you locked in
why does uc limit salary to 6 figures
wdym
naw man
Bros dad is mark Zuckerberg
i hope ur not the type of kid who wants finaid

im only ever gonna peak at 300k if i ever get lucky
praying for at least 100k in aid ❤️ 🙏
if your parents made a quarter of what they made you’d be considered rich, hell
Yeah
RAHHH HI
I am in socal right now actually but I head back tomorrow
But I'll be back for christmas
whats the diff btwn econ major and haas at berkeley
econ & haas have like. a lot of differences! id check the haas and econ websites respectiveuly but basicallt
econ focuses on depth/mathematical rigor. like you're going to have to take calc, stats, and a lot of upper div econ courses which are known to have more theory and calculus concepts. it's very flexible with the types of economics you go into since berkeley's econ programme is quite robust in that regard, having different classes for each
haas is a business school first, and there's a MUCH stronger focus on application. you'll learn accounting, finance, marketing, operations, management, and strategy which is much more applications based and mandates you take classes in accounting (fin/mang), finance, marketing, and leadership. and there's only two econ classes required
however, and you probably wanted to know this the most, haas generally does have specific recruiting for their major which helps a lot. however, econ (and esp at berkeley) will still give u options
i wouldnt know the recruiting parts though
tbh
the thing is im not final in what i want to do econ related in the future but i def wanna be open to business oppurtunities but haas i heard is strictly focused on that and less econ
econ's fine then
if you wanna be open to research id do a minor in math
and take more proofs based classes to show mathematical rigor
you do kind of want to start limiting yourself like by junior year
Are you Interested in Being an Actuary
yes! but im also open to going into law, and having a data science minor but really i want to learn econ and businesses so im applying to mainly schools w only econ majors so I can be open to more opportunities but idk about berk
im also pretty interested in quant but still like as a senior its hard to decide right now
Apply to lamp school
would it be excessive to mention 3 activities in one essay? im trying to show my progression in leadership as concise as possible while keeping these activities
thats not excessive, as long as your doing what your currently doing it should be fine
ykw im gonna do transfer
just submitted UCs 😭
goated song
Lift up your voices, now's the time to sing.
This is the day the Victory Bell will ring.
Loyal Aggies, all for one.
Never stopping 'til we've won,
Because the Mustang will show our team the way to fight,
Charging the enemy with all his might. Let's go.
Let's win. Today's the day The Aggies will fight!
Fight! Fight!
Idk I picked 6th bc I heard it was close to the premed req classes
finally submitted 🥀🥀🥀
Loll
hey fellas is there any other steps or information to fill out after the piq's and whatnot
there’s an additional comments box and then it’s just checking everything, acknowledgments, and paying
oh okay thank you
i thought uc deadlines was end of november
i think this
i only need to revise my piqs now but its more like shortening them,
i got this

FREAK OUT AND PANIC
@everyone reminder abt deadline time, gl!
RELAX
Yeah college applications usually just ask you to write down your scores
transcripts are to check if you didnt lie when youre admitted
wtf is this link 😭
I’m withdrawing but thanks for the reminder
instagram with kk before it makes it embed
HELLO STANDFORD GOAT
It’s to embed Instagram links take out the kk and it’s normal
Hi
Why
#✨-celebration-station
Yea that was early
Ggs tho
Thanks
how am i supposed to fill out the ucs
yo congrats!!
Thank you!!
UCSD you’ll always be the dream school I put down in my #👋-introductions post 1.5 years ago
Goodluck yall o7
Thanks i almost forgot
Are aid and scholarships limited to out-of-state students? I’m considering not applying at all if it’s too limited
There’s very occasional out of state scholarships but zero need based fin aid
Expect to be full pay hope to not be
Should I fill in an application for funsies
good luck everyone hehahhafhadhfh
Good luck everyone
is it true we need a geometry requirement bc I never took it but i did like an AGS (algebra geometry statistics course)
how do i tell my friend her essays are cooked
she gave them to me last minute to edit
say personal investments?🤷🏽♀️
edit what you can, make comments on it to, and tell her that you think she needs to take a better approach with the topic and needs to word things differently
i would do this but a lot of the core ideas absolutely need to be changed
like they're very resume-like
tell her that
i get that but if i were in her position i would wanna know anyways
true
you can help her too
give bullet pointed ideas for her so she doesnt start from nowhere
true
she kinda needs to be stressed
tbh idt im gonna help like that
i gave her some pointers
Should I send in the app for fun
yeah
💀
Idk I haven't started at all so idk if I'll pull the trigger
Might rewrite two of my piqs with different topics
second times the charm LMAO
Idk I love davis but
I feel like I should just wait one more year to get my resume up
guys i have like 3 PIQs pending
i only have rough idea of what to write in each one
what to do?
lock the fuck in
what really helped me write rough drafts and brainstorm was https://www.squibler.io/dangerous-writing-prompt-app
The Most Dangerous Writing App. If you stop typing, all progress will be lost. Now with over 500+ writing prompts to choose from.
but im not sure if that would be much help at this point
i have this one question
i have a lot of math olympiad and some projects that involve both math and computer science
should i go for applied math major
or math, applied sciences
or just math
does it matter for UCLA and UCSD?
@stuck lion ?
for ucsd i don't really think it matters too much
since you can just switch in to any non-impacted major really easily
unsure about LA
impacted majors include everything in engineering, data sci & public health
everything else is non-impacted iirc
shiii i applied bioengineering + systems bio
is it worth even applying as an oos
if you got the money yea
depends on your major
sociology or public health
i actually don't really know much about those majors tbh
generally i'd say only berk & l.a are really worth it for oos, and again that's if u have the money
sd probably has a good public health program since its impacted
yeah im applying to berk ucla and ucsd
oh ok ur set lol
im just tired and still havent written my piqs 😭 ijbolllll
buh
Nvm i can't

???
Its due like tmr r smth
tbh depends on ur major
Today
Yeah today
i do like everything on the day of its my worst habit
i already did the whole app in the past its just the essays
..
boy
uc applications were the only one i did on day of 😭
but that’s just cuz their due dates are so bad
I mean major ≠ career
No thats an u issue
i’m moreso saying the ones where it does i’m ngl
Oh
like engineering for example
Ew
it is right after thanksgiving
"M*th"
like if there’s pretty guaranteed pathway to a job that pays it off it might be worth it to apply
Don’t go to UC Oos unless you’re loaded or it’s Berkeley/ucla and you’re somewhat loaded
so actually i dont like the dec 1st deadline
ok buddy
gng they put everything like
a day after the holidays
I know an Oos person also going into journalism
Amazing
I’m also in journalism
lol
idk uc oos being worth it depends on like 6-7 factors at least
bro said 67
💀
- Are your parents rich?
whether ur rich whether job u get after pays a lot whether ur states state schools are bad
So true
the more and more oos discussions happen the more i feel like not finishing my application 💔
Just apply
It’s not committing
Having options is a good thing
idk technically speaking ucs are cheaper than private unis mostly and are better than most state schools tho it’s prolly just worth it to go to a state school
a school school
bro i just got touched on a quiz
I started my app (including piqs) day after thanksgiving 🤪
I’m silly goofy like that
im like worrying abt that rn 😭
ok this makes me feel better
i grinded my piqs since oct unlike most people here
idk i have so many apps im so tired of doing brah
i just have an awful habit of not being motivated to do them at all until the day of
bahahah
ok thats bu bro go back to the bu thread
get a job 😭 😭
Is it true uc system tends to crash the last day?
still waiting on LA
berkeley and la better than bu tbh
even oos
Stay on topic bud
ok but i would not be able to afford uc 😭
does bu give that good finaid???
does bu even give fin aid
Yo but is it true the uc system crashes every year
arent they like

the most expensive school
i thought they just like steal one of ur organs
ucsd crashed
my net price is only estimated to pay 12k 🤷♂️ but uc also doesnt give any finaid so its some against none
vandy merit scholarship was due td too so
i have a full pell grant and -1500 sai
id do anything to get vandy scholarship
You gotta get in first
meh i used my stanford distinctive contribution for dare to grow and then lengthened what academic subject inspires you to 500 words for the cornelius vanderbilt essay
California on top
i was gonna apply all three schoolarships but then a family member died so ididnt really have time to write that 
i thought it was a rich white kid school but my friend did eecs there and loved it
tbf im pretty sure it is still a rich white kid school
Like that is just what top private universities are for primarily
as are a lot of top private unis
but i'll be able to find my people
until like two months ago i could not tell you the difference between like washu vandy emory etc
Most privates are gonna be majority white/asian and pretty well off so don’t be too surprised
Depends on the campus but yeah white/asian for all of them except for UCR and UCM which have a large Hispanic population
if i got a 4 in the ap calc AB exam but a 5 in the AB part of the calc BC exam, should i report both or just 1
Fr
is mentorship an a to g approved elective?
no
Should I start today or is it not worth it
I'm intl cs btw
I'm planning on only applying to ucb and ucla
I've already gotten into my safeties: A&M n UTD
1 more piqqqqq
utd solos ucla and berk
fr fr
theres a reason mit is called the
utd of the north
that's optional
oh wait HHAHA
i think thuey mean on the uc app
cuz it asks for it
in which case yes it is optional
I mean why exclude it lwk
ur gonna say it on fafsa anyway
bc i don wanna ask my parents and i am not getting aid 💀
Oh ye then nvm ig
prob don’t go for math/applied sciences at least for ucla
why do my uc essays say like 50 ai when i never even used it
the department actively discourages people from doing it iirc
applied math is prob your best bet
but yeah if you get in you can switch to the other ones if you want
how do my alternatives look? obv ucsd w mech e as alternative is chopped but idk what else to put 😭
do UC's require oficial parchment transcripts for CC classes??
for berkeley shouldnt it be the other way around (as college of chemistry is generally easier to get into?)
chemical engineering is the major i want to pursue
or r u telling me to think of it strategically basically
from what i've heard the rule of thumb is to do an easier alternate
yea
hmm im not sure how tranferring would work in this case
well imma keep everything cheme as main but ngl my alts being engi is kinda crazy
idk what else to do instead
u could do eng but easier ones
generally civil is easier
like berkeley mse is top tier
well berkeley eng is top tier regardless
true but the "easier" engi majors i have no interest in 💔
yeah 🥀
cheme acceptance rate is like 30ish % tho idk how its so high
for awards and national merit commended can i put my psat score or is that not allowed
wait so uhm when im submitting my app, it asks how much my family makes a year, and i accidently put the wrong number but it doesnt let me recalculate it now, so what do i do to try and recalculate it.
i think i also might have put the wrong number but its an estimate so
yeah but now it just says youve qualified for a fee waiver when in reality idk if i have or not
ohh then idk
if you don't get into chem e for ucsd ur not going to get into mech e either
make sure ur alternate major isn't in the jacob's school of engineering
put yo alternates in easier majors like for ucsd do a l&st one
ok ill find a diff major. hopefully i can switch from a physical science to cheme without any issue
it’ll prob be tuff but just be tuffer
yall think i could just copy and paste my common app activities to uc activitiesw
think UCs allow for more characters
no
and they also have diff sections
i recommend starting from ground up so you can be more through
yeah there’s a lot of space for awards
ok but like i have 6 hours
r you done with everything else
besides one piq
deep fried 💀
we ball
Everyone it's 1. Revelle 2. ERC 3. Warren 4. Muir
i want sleeeeeeeeep
For the UC application acitivies section,
I participated in a program that gave you a year to make a paper. You then presented the paper to a board at a college. The actual event of presenting was only a day, but we were given all year to make the paper. How would I list the weeks and hours I spent on this?
can i still access the uc portal to put in additional info after the submission dradline?
i finished yesterday but i am comtemplating putting an update about an arts class i plan to take next semester.
naw
unless you send a update
can i write the piq 6 about inspiring academic subject about my second major interest or is that a red flag
public health just fits more interdisicplinarily than sociology but im not sure what to do
no that’s fine
I wrote mine about conservation biology and i’m a public policy major
it shows you’re curious
thank you
im actually in the process of switching. i'll let you know over the summer how it goes if you're also in the same position i am
chat tell me why i spent the entire day yesterday working on uc apps for my sibling...
ts more stressful than applying myself
it doesnt make for a good essay lol
I wrote the essay myslef I j put it into ai to make it better
you're better off editing it yourself
i dont think i will finish my app 😭 i feel so silly for starting so late and theres no way i can afford it anyway
this the first app i flopped on 🥀
ik but i just started my first piq and i feel braindead lowkey
cause i spent all day on my bu app
the piqs are meant to be straightforward so like dont overthink them too much
ty i will try my best
i can change my alt major within one month after submitting apps right?
we are all going to get into berkeley met
are we ong
YES WE ARE
by when?
guys tell me the exact payment procedure
do i js need card details
or anything else
1/4 piqs done ❤️
shoutout uc
im literalllyyyy so fried bro
my brain turned off hours ago
im so tired of college apps
yes good luck
im stuck on THESE STUPID ACTIVITIES
WHY IS IT 350 CHARACTERS
ujknm, gwruiohnswaediughnSJKGhjbnkSNMHRB

yes i like that
yo are we cooked we writing piqs with 4 and a half hours to go 💀
of course we are cooked
but itll be okay
at least u can say u applied u dont have to tell anybody ur app was ass 💔
for that prompt u should mostly spend the time on the leadership in the club
not the running for pres and then losing part
i am so glad i only had to write one today
i had to do the boston uni app too this morning 😭
bros never heard of writing them earlier 💔
procrastination so much easier
no i havent cus i got 30 colleges under my belt and im addicted to minecraft
yeah exactly on the day its due i can just sit in bed and write them all day and jus eat candy and coffee
idk why its so hard for me to start earlier
yeahhhh
i HATE activities
tell me why its so stubborn for awards
let me just write 350 characters
not 2 SECTIOPNS
Can someone in like an hour check to see if my uc piq prompt allocation works? I felt like I wrote two piqs under different categories and I dont know why
🥀
you should check out #📝-essays
ok thx
apparently berkeley sent out lor requests already??
they take lor????
ye my friend got one today
nah they sometimes ask for LORs from certain students that have like unique backgrounds or r high stat ppl

ucsd is a shitty school anyways why ru gaslighting someone into not applying gng r we deaduzz ucsd most chopped asians there 0 abgs
Ucsd and shitty should not be in the same sentence

Wait guys can you give me advice on a EC and whether or not I should be specific with its name
if i get into dartmouth ed do i rescind all my uc apps
i lowk wanna see if i get into ucla or ucb
someone said to make it generalized cuz it can be controversial but idk
bro
ru doing like
charlie kirk turning point shit
if not just be specific they dgaf
Lmao nah I’m doing steal a brainrot senior mod
560 on uc colleges alone 💔
I put steal a brainrot for cmu I might be cooked

Wanna be safe with the ucs atleast
throwing me under the bus
sorry you saw my generational
i cant think of a word
i was cooked in gen chatover my piqs
i want to go to bed so bad bro
🪦
That's how bad I ran out of ideas
who Hasnt submitted
me
Same
someone just like me
I’m just reviewing information before submitting
im tired too
oh my days
how many more do u have
Must've been the wind
They all cost the same 🥀
I’ll handle it for you boss
thank you buddy ill be sending you my acceptance to take over
not locked
Na I'm Broke Wayne
I submitted ucs, do they give you a portal right after
im almost done 😭😭
i have 1 more now
lets do this bro
im wrapping up rn then need to review and edit
lock innnn
lol look at you
reviewing and editing
i write my final word and i copy paste that shit in
lets gaurr
why would i care rn
you literally have 1 hour what have u been doing all day
ITS THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT
fell for the obvious ragebait 🥀
sorry uve only sent like 5 message about just starting now 😢
gullible is on the ceiling
thats how i felt after doing ucs
if id ont get in any of them then im not worthy anyways
i only submitted stanford after lmao

say that to me last year
#1350216460554735636 message
id have slimed you
.
4.67 months is foul
say that again
#1313309438387421255 message more trauma
99 + 142
thats 7.9 months
Months in GPA
If you haven't already submitted I highly recommend doing so bc the portal is abt to crash any second now...
idt it crashed for me last time
if they learned anything from their past mistakes then they'll have scaled up their backend today
If they don't then they are actually hollow skulled
I think the latter will be true
cause like application submission is like one of the least computationally intensive tasks
the only thing that might go out is their payment processor
especially if theres an actually scalable backend
missing out on thousands there lmao
hey hey, I'll take that
gonna need smth to pay tuition with
0/10
once u get in
what major should i apply as
I submitted 10 min ago 😮💨
oh jus doxxed my email hold on
rome wasnt built in a day but our essays were
yes yes yes
we love the precope ☺️
im actually happy with my essays they turned out good
man we really like hiring sex offenders: https://dailynexus.com/2020-05-17/ucsb-student-says-a-s-president-elect-sexually-assaulted-him-in-2018/
crazy hard line
pre cope who lil bro
yes it feeds my superiority complex
why else would i go here
nanoengineering but im probably going to switch into chemical engineering
idk everything's kinda up in the air rn
wbu
Ucs suck guys
guys do we got any info about the new ECE UC Berkeley major
A lot of the people they request LOR from are “on the bubble” applicants
Who they can’t really tell if they should reject or accept
Usually middle of the road stats for that
i heard that like 60% of those who submitted lor got in
Gpa isn’t quite the best but it’s still good
the way i thought the world would stop spinning for me and life would finally be happy kawaii sunshine and rainbows after submitting ucs
☹️
im genuinely ashamed at points to go here
Like how does this math class even exist at my fucken school
i had already submitted when i sent that message
i submitted at like 11:36 or something
good job
not necessarily. i know people who submitted a LOR that got rejected, and i know people who did not submit a LOR that got in
would it be a bad idea to submit now that it’s late 💀💀
No
: o
Ucsf undergrad when
why is it not grad though
berk crying in a corner
uc sacramento when
Davis has a satellite campus there 😊
+uc davis health
“health”
tuberculosis
Yes
i think i got it from a cow
WE have tuberculosis
love in the time of tuberculosis
Beth Bourne call it
ucsd is the best
rlly?
yup, i think they call it quarter at aggie square or smth
maybe that’s why uc Merced is in Merced 💀
wild
yuh
if you want to be a quant, a more quantative field like applied maths physics cs would all serve better then econ, generally econ is a 2nd tier major for quants
congrats :)
nisargh shah moment
hes still at ucsd LMAO
yeah with the math thing too
the math crisis or wtv
Yes davis > ucla =uci
I thought they were js the only ones they published the data/made a big deal abt it
nah it’s like actually legit worse
the report talked abt that
interesting
its funny because a comment somewhere talking about this said they literally were doing past multivar and they got rejected form ucsd
i mean uc admissions are fairly major specific
if that person was a CS applicant that would explain it
Is that from the report?
so if i have bad math grades i'd probably get rejected from ucsd
its weird because i feel like they would have checked the applicants grade for the courses...
and even ap tests (in calc stats and physics) would be an obvious indicator of ability to do math
they did
grade inflation is just that prevalent
plus some people just cheat their way through math 💀
Alive chat
oily method 🥀
I just printed 361 pages 😭😭😭 I was preparing for my Stats final and I decided to print out the questions because I don't have an ipad to write on or anything. They're in color, back to back. but now I'm scared because my roomie said it costs money?? I didn't get any notice of it costing money at any point in sending the submission, and...
This person now owes $722 for printing paper
nah
LMAO
Hi, future Anteaters! Fall 2026 applications are currently being processed and assigned the relevant IDs to be able to activate your UC Irvine Applicant Portal! We expect all applicants to receive their credentials by January 9, 2026.
Note: Art and Drama applicants will receive their credentials by December 23 to ensure the ability to meet port...
what was it last year
january 8th
no way
lol
the irony here is that last year i got them a week after submitting my app 😭
Hmm
did any california residents get an email from UC saying "Presently, the UC is unable to determine your residency status based on the information you provided in the application. Residency determines what you will be charged for UC tuition, or how much you will pay for classes, if you are admitted and choose to enroll"
you'll just need to upload more documents later
If you spent more than a month out oos state at some point for a program theyre gonna hound you
dw about it for now.
i didnt though😭
does that mean i won’t get considered for top 9%
that top 9% lwk doesn't matter
you'll just be guarenteed to get into merced
well im js wondering if ill even be considered a california resident when they are reviewing my application
cause arent oos accaptance rates lower
im not rlly sure but ik berkeley is much lower oos and i kinda care abt that one
Did you attend a school in CA for 3 or more years?
yes, K-12
Then you are categorized as an in state student
In state residency and admission considerations are separate.
are all the UCs this late
i submitted mine on sunday and have only gotten davis back
submitted mine sun at 3am and js got back davis and irvine tdy
alr cool
i submitted 29th got forwarded the 3rd only got davis portal just irvine email about getting it by jan 8th
Same
Bro I received my UCI login today just to withdraw lol
The process is complicated for no reason
you can always rely on davis
