[fringe hearth]

Imo uclas location is peak

[torpid fiber]

sf is fire

[cyan helm]

Bro Oakland is just Gotham lite

[last acorn]

their quarter system is ass

[restive elm]

That moment where SF to Berk takes less time compared to getting from SF to SFO

[fringe hearth]

Most ucs have quarter system anyways

UCI location is mid

[woven rune]

it’s basically uc newport beach

[dense cave]

[stuck lion]

uci's alright, great food places all around but everything's kinda samey and there's no public transit

[fringe hearth]

SB would honestly go a lot up if it was closer to actual Santa Barbara

[torpid berry]

[torpid fiber]

this is exactly how i feel about sac

[tired radish]

true

[woven rune]

isla vista only got so much u can do imo

[torpid fiber]

not bad but mid and boring with bad public transit

[tired radish]

bro berkeley campus is aight i guess but location is MID AF

[woven rune]

I feel like u jus gonna run out of shit

[torpid berry]

sf is the greatest city in the world this is true

[tired radish]

100 miles up or down from any civilization 🥀

[torpid fiber]

[torpid berry]

[dense cave]

did u ever req ur admissions file i did ts so fast

[torpid fiber]

ee transfer for ucsd is 3.8 median gpa im kinda cooked

[empty pollen]

pretty much told him to “simulate a college decision everytime i say flip (akin to flipping a coin) — great way to have fun ngl

[stuck lion]

yeah i barely made it in

[dense cave]

idk

[dense cave]

whats barely, a 3 overall?

[empty pollen]

[last acorn]

believe bro if it helps il decline my ucsd accept so u can get in 🙏

[tired radish]

u can do this?"

can u do this for all ucs

[stuck lion]

yeah

[empty pollen]

im really happy tho, to get into UMICH with D’s and c’s

[dense cave]

bro im crine on my uc app i put "reading" as an ec

Only the one u commit to

[stuck lion]

[dense cave]

I got posted on ucsd subreddit before

But I told the dude to delete it

[last acorn]

kidding joke

[stuck lion]

ucsd moment

wait wrong photo

https://triton.news/2018/06/cse-professor-publicly-humiliates-student-class-forum/amp/

[dense cave]

It’s cuz he recorded me and my friend doing something , it wasn’t nothing weird

[last acorn]

oh

[last acorn]

3 am..............................

[torpid fiber]

i find it weird how normalized it is to take pictures/video of people in public and post it to social media

[last acorn]

he got caught lacking

[dense cave]

Ts was so embarrassing I was like take ts down 😭

[torpid fiber]

holy shit??

this is insane 😭

[torpid fiber]

what ab from peers tho

🤔

[thick thunder]

Is it hard to transfer within ucla engineering

[thick thunder]

How do you do this

[dense cave]

U can only do it after u enroll

[ocean aspen]

Is ucsd acc socially dead?

Im debating on whether to go to uc davis or ucsd

[sweet magnet]

did anyone get ucsd financial aid?

there's an error on my page

[balmy blaze]

my sister is finishing her soph year and shes had the best 2 yrs ever

[ocean aspen]

i heard international students usually dont recieve financial aid

[balmy blaze]

u will find ur people it's a HUGE school

[ocean aspen]

mine also says theres an error

[ocean aspen]

yeahh, i js heard u rly gotta look hard to find ur friends

[sweet magnet]

oh okay okay

[ocean aspen]

i also got into warren which ws my 2nd choice n that ws my bad for not doing enough research on the colleges bfr i applied

[balmy blaze]

she found the love of her life and the best friend group and roommate she interned at a lab at cmu frosh yr became leadership at the bme club this yr and has another internship lined up for the coming summer

[balmy blaze]

im sure you'll be ok

i dont think

it's like that

[ocean aspen]

damnn

[balmy blaze]

tbh

[sweet magnet]

which college is the best?

[ocean aspen]

everyones saying any of the numbers (sixth, seventh, eighth)

[balmy blaze]

my sister loved marshall

[sweet magnet]

i got into sixth

[ocean aspen]

frr?

[sweet magnet]

what's the difference between them though

[ocean aspen]

congrats!

[balmy blaze]

i think they have the newest forms too

[ocean aspen]

ngl i dont rly know.. i js watched a bunch of tiktoks and yt videos

tuition prices r also rly high

esp for intl students

[balmy blaze]

that's true

[sweet magnet]

yeah 😭

[magic slate]

Is it possible for undeclared students at UCSD to change majors into engineering?

[tired radish]

its hard im psure

cuz its engineering college

[dense cave]

location, dorms, and general education requirements

[dense cave]

yes but hard

[tired radish]

what are some downsides of ucla

Whats the most grade inflated uc

[modest pulsar]

None sadly.. from what I heard

[ionic mica]

It’s only Asians

[dense silo]

i rlly went 0/4

ucsd uci ucsb ucla all said fuck nah

[magic slate]

Is qualifying for and completing double-majors (not in engineering specifically) hard at UCSD?

[autumn hull]

anyone doing math at ucsd?

[woven rune]

i just got an A in ochem 2 at ucsd bro

i can’t believe this is my life

[autumn hull]

whats better wisconsin or ucsd

[woven rune]

mf what is wisconsin

don’t piss me off

[autumn hull]

university of wisconsini madison

if im doing math

also whats roosevelt college

i dont rmemeber choosing these things

[woven rune]

ur fucked

[autumn hull]

is it that bad?

really

[woven rune]

Erc is just rough bro

i seen mmw make people cry

decent living and location though

[twin blaze]

yep, I coulda saved a few hundred dollars instead of daring to be delusional

[woven rune]

if ur in state it’s no big deal

my boy is going like 0/6 rn

every uc and cal state unfortunately

he’s gonna go to cc and max out his classes to do a 1 year transfer

i know plenty of 1 year transfers at ucsd

one year transfer is calm bro u barely miss out on anything

[twin blaze]

thanks bro. I still have a few more decisions, and I already got accepted to CSULB so I'm good in the grand scheme of things, it's just humbling haha.

and believe me, ik one year is nothing

[autumn hull]

i dont get this colege thing

is it harder for me to graduate>

?

[woven rune]

what

[autumn hull]

out of roosevelt

[woven rune]

No like

Every college has a focus okay

Like seventh is “a changing world” which is just climate change

So our writing sequence is some easy ass classes abt climate change

Erc is on a well rounded individual or whatever

[autumn hull]

ok so how the hell did i get placed in that

[woven rune]

Eec’s writing sequence and GE requirements reflect that. The writing sequence MMW is brutal

[autumn hull]

i swear i didnt choose collleges

[woven rune]

It’s very dense you have to read works and write essays

[autumn hull]

oh brother

[woven rune]

It’s very humanities based

[autumn hull]

fuck

[woven rune]

As a stem major i’m afraid you will loathe it

[autumn hull]

i literally dont rmemeber choosing this

[woven rune]

I’d rather get my booty absolutely tickled by a hard ass ochem final than take a humanities final where i have to write a bunch of essays in a timed fashion

[autumn hull]

then how the hell did i land up herte

will i get something out of it?

[woven rune]

A degree from ucsd!

[autumn hull]

no shit

how hard is it to switch majors?

[woven rune]

Nope at the end of the day it’s the same finish line it’s just your ge’s were different

Majors? easy as shit it’s a website and instant

[autumn hull]

yesss

[woven rune]

Colleges? not happening

[autumn hull]

so i can go to engineering?

or political science?

or comp sci

im saying total jumpin

[woven rune]

depends, cs is a no and the selective/capped like beng require pre reqs and is kinda like a lottery

Poli sci yes

Easy

[autumn hull]

so for compsci i would need a really good gpa

[woven rune]

Compsci isn’t happening

they won’t let you

[autumn hull]

engineering?

[woven rune]

That’s one of the few majors they don’t let people switch to

Engineering yes

It just might require some loops to go through

[autumn hull]

okok

[woven rune]

Such as taking classes and hitting a good ass gpa

[autumn hull]

i just want a lot of open options

[woven rune]

You will find that here fs

ucsd has everything u need to succeed you just have to take advantage of it

[autumn hull]

what about compared to wisconsin madison

[woven rune]

I have one friend there

she has a lot of fun but it depends on your priorities

She’s smart but i don’t see her as an academic weapon like ucsd students are

[autumn hull]

i want to get a good job

[woven rune]

both colleges will get you a good job fasho

Prestige isn’t that important, big state schools are recognizable and have similar opportunities

[autumn hull]

im just stuck

[woven rune]

wym

You have time to decide

where u from

[main patio]

Still not showing up for me 💔

They rejected me so hard they just deleted my application 😭

[rich kraken]

are you sure ur doing right

[main patio]

I'm filling in all the forms as they appear on my application

[autumn hull]

massachusett

[rich kraken]

contact support?

[tidal leaf]

how is muir college

[short cedar]

why is ucsd all of the buttons are just portal is inactive

not just fin aid

[magic slate]

How is Triton Day like? Are there lots of events there?

[buoyant axle]

yo i need advice

i got wl sd

can i dm someone my question

preferablly someoen who got waitlisted and accepted

[restive elm]

yep

[mellow pendant]

what does it mean when u can access to cal central

[earnest finch]

we aren't allowed to talk about this here

[dense breach]

Yeah, sounds like astro lowkey

[mellow pendant]

mb yall, new to the thread

[dense breach]

It’s ok

[magic slate]

Is anyone having the same issue with the message tab of the UCSD portal?

[modest pulsar]

Works fine for me

[stuck lion]

yep

[stuck lion]

i'm in roosevelt rn. there's definitely a lot more GEs but they're pretty easy (if you get a good TA)

housing is wtv, iirc we have the best odds of getting singles out of all the colleges

dont quote me on that tho

[magic slate]

Just curious, which events do you think are the most worth attending (or most exciting)?

[stuck lion]

like at triton day?

[magic slate]

Yes

[opal summit]

does anyone know the gpa drop ucla would rescind someone over

[autumn hull]

whats your major?

[stuck lion]

hmmm i'd look at your department's table (all the departments do tabling around library walk) and also check out some clubs

[stuck lion]

nanoeng

[autumn hull]

do you know how math would be?

[stuck lion]

you don't explicitly have to take a math class as part of your ges. the math 20 series is bullshit

but im also like bad at math

so ymmv

[modest pulsar]

It says they will have to tell the admissions office if theres one or more c

Im guessing 1-2 cs is viable with a good enough explanation

[autumn hull]

no no im a math major

[stuck lion]

oh yeah the 31h series (which is the "honors" lower div math) is pretty nice -- mostly proof based though

im really not an expert on this, but there's probably some people you can ask on the reddit or the '30 discord

[autumn hull]

i want to double major its just i am not sure

but math is garunteed

[stuck lion]

you've got time to figure this stuff out

[autumn hull]

like a month

[stuck lion]

iirc you can declare a double major whenever

https://advising.ucsd.edu/students/majors-minors/double-majors.html

[autumn hull]

if you were to choose between wicsonin madison and ucsd which one

[stuck lion]

ucsd solely on the location

[magic slate]

if I was admitted as undeclared (rejected from bio-engineering), does that mean I can choose a major (other than the selective ones) when I commit?

[autumn hull]

without location

[stuck lion]

ok so im actually in a similar position rn

no, you can't. if ur trying to get into an engineering you have to do this selective major shit where you have to take certain classes (https://undergrad.ucsd.edu/academics/selective-major-process/index.html)

it's mostly based off of socioeconomic factors you can't control, which i think is bullshit, but im p sure you'll have good odds of ur going into BENG

oh yeah beng was one of the selective majors that had a 100% acceptance rate given that you completed all of the required courses

[stuck lion]

don't really know much about uwm, sorry :(

[autumn hull]

can i have the class of 2030 discord?

[stuck lion]

sent

[magic slate]

Can I have it as well, thanks.

[stuck lion]

sent

[magic slate]

By socioeconomic factors, do you mean the points they would give if you are a california resident, have pell scholarship, and 1st-gen?

[raven tusk]

Davis has a secret spot

https://maps.app.goo.gl/agyQcrLtsRqysRha8?g_st=ac

[warm token]

I was going to join ‘30 but I realized 1) I’m very unc and 2) one of my opps is a mod 💀

[raven tusk]

My roommate has been there he says it's great

[raven tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/vegeta-goku-kakarot-appear-apear-gif-16031715726102816145

[stuck lion]

yeah

[stuck lion]

i'm not even bothering tbh

wait aren't all the mods there '29

why are you beefing with an 18 year old

[rich kraken]

is the sweet spot Frankstein?

[warm token]

Uh insane person who runs YDSA

[raven tusk]

Look around there's a swing

[raven tusk]

Mayhaps

[magic slate]

oh 💀

[warm token]

I’m a DSA member hence the potential for beef

Also I’m in one of the more mainline caucuses :3

[magic slate]

Will double-majoring beng with something like math-cs be too heavy in terms of course load?

[warm token]

Uh maybe also they only let u overlap a certain number of upper divs

[weary mantle]

Does anyone know how to access financial aid for ucsd??

[kindred aurora]

ty sir

[last acorn]

i thought ucla is harder?

[tired radish]

It is for all but cs i think

Maybe eng

[lament scarab]

Uclas acceptance rate is a bit lower but they also get a ton more applications than Berkeley so it’s hard to say which one is actually harder for the average applicant

[drifting sable]

I think berk is lowk harder

[fierce tree]

is ucla wl cooked

[rich kraken]

Berkeley is easier in terms of the number of applicants compared to ucsd and ucla

[rich kraken]

no

[karmic nacelle]

yea but u never know maybe the average applicant there is better but its impossible to know

[last acorn]

ahok

[chrome sapphire]

So in the botton text box i can put my LOCI in there?

[buoyant axle]

yea

[earnest finch]

Rejected by every UC besides SB

Does anyone here go to SB

I saw the campus and it’s SOOO PRETTY

[drifting sable]

This is true

But doesn’t consider applicant level

it’s harder ar wise but idk bout applicant wise

[umbral oak]

at least you got into one rejected from all 5

😭

[earnest finch]

Welp

That’s true

[umbral oak]

Luck is not what I need

I need a whole miracle

[earnest finch]

You have UCB left

[tired radish]

ucb doesnt like us bro

ucb straight opping

[karmic nacelle]

same 😭

[earnest finch]

Wdym

[tired radish]

they are opps

opposition

[earnest finch]

I already know I got rejected by berk lmao cuz I did not get that page

[echo wasp]

sb is peak

[earnest finch]

But wtv

[tired radish]

yeah 💀 that page is the opping

[echo wasp]

when the rest of california is complaining abnout heat sb is bing chilling

[tired radish]

bro i just hate how its in the middle of nowhere bro

[echo wasp]

(not guaranteed)

[tired radish]

100 miles up and down till a real city

[earnest finch]

Ikr. I thought sb is the one in Oakland which is kinda ghetto

[echo wasp]

better than merced

[tired radish]

thats berkeley 💀

[echo wasp]

i mean sb the city isnt that small

[tired radish]

true

[echo wasp]

but yea its kinda remote

[earnest finch]

It’s by the beach and that’s all I need

[tired radish]

bro turning down ucla lowk hurts my soul and my 5th grade dreams

[echo wasp]

i mean if you think sb is remote cal poly is more remote

[echo wasp]

real

u can just sit by the cliff and study

while watching the waves

[tired radish]

slo is kinda cooked

[earnest finch]

@echo wasp do you have any pictures of sb

I am oos and I can’t fly to cali

[echo wasp]

uhhh

not much of a picture guy ill look

only beach tbh

[floral trout]

thank you so so much for your thoughtful advice! if it’s okay to ask what exclusive clubs are you talking about and how hard was it to get in? same for research, how did u get the research opportunities as a freshman?

[ashen sky]

beach

[umbral oak]

Your doing cs?

[ashen sky]

i love the beach

[karmic nacelle]

not but engineering

[ashen sky]

i wasted my spring break 🥀

[echo wasp]

u can live in those houses freshman year

[earnest finch]

Holy fire

[umbral oak]

💔

[karmic nacelle]

😭

[echo wasp]

yea ngl i dont got mcuh

its just when the sky looks cool

[rich kraken]

Also, Berkeley, from what I know from their admissions and having talked with some admissions officer is that they’re not really stats base not like UCLA and UC San Diego

[echo wasp]

rng based

[drifting sable]

EC based

lowkey bro me and all my cracked friends got rejected from UCLA 😔

The entire Caltech fly in gc doesn’t have a single out of state UCLA

I deaduzz know 0 people who got in OOS

[earnest finch]

Do u think it applies to OOS

💀💀

[ashen sky]

k oos is rare and theyre cringe

UCs should make oos need aware, increase tuition for oos, and give them absolute dookie dorms

[drifting sable]

ts the GC with like 6 Columbia likelies, 5 Yale, 3 Stanford, 3 Harv n shit bro 💀💀💀

[ashen sky]

It just be like that

On top of ucla already being overly selective as fuck

They still do want primarily california students raaah

[drifting sable]

Yeah bro we all got slimed tf out

[ashen sky]

I bet the mfs who got columbia likelies or reas who are in california got ucla most likely

[drifting sable]

Berkeley prob gonna slime my ass out too

[drifting sable]

They did ya

[ashen sky]

Tho i know someone who got in yale and got wl at ucla

kinda weird

[drifting sable]

Stanford is my last hope to not be a rd victim

unironically UCLA OOS yield prot (real)

[ashen sky]

Literally no

[drifting sable]

Let me cope 🥀

[ashen sky]

Ucs just dont want yall

[drifting sable]

smh my head I’m going to the better LA uni anyways

🫠

[ashen sky]

Just because theyre elite universities doesnt mean they have to completely fill their class with the most cracked ahh mfs ever fr

State universities serve the state

[drifting sable]

ya

[ashen sky]

Which is why berk admits actual bums

I wish academic dishonesty at my hs actually went on record

These mfs should not have gotten in

[drifting sable]

I think it should go on record if it happens like

[earnest finch]

The berk confession page shows it all

[drifting sable]

Twice

[earnest finch]

Lmao

[drifting sable]

bc at the end of the day you’re still a kid in HS and inevitably will end up doing something stupid and I don’t think (for example) something you did fresh or soph should fuck up ur admissions by a lot

[ashen sky]

K these mfs still cheating in senior year i guarantee ts

[noble cobalt]

I wasn’t even thinking about college till my junior ngl

[kindred aurora]

oh really?

[kindred aurora]

for enggienr tho

[noble cobalt]

Then I saw mfs who been preparing for this since the beginning of their freshman year

[ashen sky]

We cannot be chatgpting essays in ib lit hl and getting into berk oh my days

[floral trout]

which uc has the best premed help

[ashen sky]

Theyre lwk the same

[kindred aurora]

berk i thikn

idk

[ashen sky]

UCR has early assurance to ucr med school tho

[earnest finch]

I think I m overly obsessed with UC Davis’s cat

[ashen sky]

Are you trying to kill them

Berk is the worst possible school for premed

[umbral oak]

La or sd or d

I hear

[ashen sky]

Oh yeah davis

Davis for sure

La and sd are tough cuz they have way too many premed gunners

[umbral oak]

All really good

[floral trout]

how come

what abt between the ucs and usc

[kindred aurora]

rly?

oops

[ashen sky]

Too much competition, classes are balls hard, classes are hard to get cuz they overenroll everyone, its genuinely way too stressful for stem

Opportunities are absolutely cooked cuz everyone is going for them

[ashen sky]

Usc is way too expensive

[floral trout]

hmm yeah that’s true

[ashen sky]

I only go to usc cuz i have over 90% of the cost covered by finaid

[floral trout]

but that’s the price that comes with public schools

[floral trout]

hmm yeah i see

i heard usc is good for premed students

[stuck lion]

the ucs are better imo

[floral trout]

even w competition?

[stuck lion]

even with competition

[floral trout]

isn’t 4.0 tough tho

[ashen sky]

4.0 is genuinely impossible at any college

unless you do like some mickey mouse ahh major

[floral trout]

nothing is impossible!

[ashen sky]

yeah

but you need to be genuinely goated

[floral trout]

i have friends that have 4.0

berk

[ashen sky]

like i study my ass off and never sleep

type shit

[tired radish]

im gonna pass/fail all my classes which i dont get an A to keep a 4.0 👍

tech

[stuck lion]

real

[ashen sky]

i think this is incredibly insane

[floral trout]

what schools let u do that

brown?

[stuck lion]

just drop out ur first semester yk that way you'll always have a 4.0

[floral trout]

what else

[tired radish]

ucsb ccs

[ashen sky]

be careful of this if you want to go to grad school in the future

[ashen sky]

me who got a 2.5 in first semester 😭

[tired radish]

wait why

[floral trout]

between ucla and regents at ucsd what is the better pick in ur opinions

[ashen sky]

they look at yo transcript and its full of pass fails they gonna assume you got all Cs

[rich kraken]

I got rejected from ucsd and UCLA but somehow I got nyu

Really weird

[umbral oak]

Nothing impossible

[tired radish]

but the pass/fails are like mickey ass ge courses

[ashen sky]

premed?

[tired radish]

i could also just drop them instead

[floral trout]

yeah

[tired radish]

cuz it wont show on transcript if its a week before

[ashen sky]

regents easily

[umbral oak]

Same but I haven’t really gotten in anywhere good

[ashen sky]

you get first pick at classes

[floral trout]

but ucla comes w the name

[ashen sky]

thats huge at a uc

[rich kraken]

not Irvine?

[floral trout]

like what if i decide to not go into med later on

[umbral oak]

0/5

[ashen sky]

dawg ucla and ucsd are like 10 apart in the rankings its nbd

[rich kraken]

I got Irvine so ya

[umbral oak]

Congrats

[floral trout]

i mean like top 20 and top 30 is different

[ashen sky]

no one in california doesn't know ucsd atp

they're really not

[stuck lion]

mickey ass ge courses are good gpa boosters

[umbral oak]

Comp sci is too comp

[ashen sky]

i took the hardest ahh ges ever at usc

like holy fuck

[stuck lion]

ucla is hella overrated for stem imo

like ucsd clears for eng, for cs, for bio

[ashen sky]

lab + multiple large ass projects + insanely hard

[umbral oak]

Ngl I agree

[ashen sky]

why did i do that

[floral trout]

but outside cali?

[rich kraken]

ucla and ucsd even tho ucsd has high percentage they are way too many applicants that’s why and both focus on Cali too much

u prove have a better chance with Berkeley

[ashen sky]

nobody gaf about ucla outside of cali

[rich kraken]

probs*

[floral trout]

rlly?

[rich kraken]

that’s not true

[ashen sky]

school name brand also doesn't matter unless you are doing some goofy ass prestige focused career like finance or whatever

[ashen sky]

i mean jobs

[floral trout]

matters for my family lmao

[ashen sky]

your family is irrelevant

[rich kraken]

Again that’s also not true

[ashen sky]

do whats best for your future and your happiness

[stuck lion]

they see ucla and they're like "isn't that the school that sucks at football?"

[ashen sky]

dawg name brand is generally dookie shit

[ashen sky]

fr bruh

most people only know ncaa football anyway

[stuck lion]

nah but fr tho where u went for undergrad stops mattering once you get ur first job

[rich kraken]

Depends how you look at it - from what pov are you looking at

[rich kraken]

true

yeah

[ashen sky]

an anything but finance and faang

[tired radish]

bro ppl only gaf abt ucla for location not prestige

[ashen sky]

both of which are irrelevant

[floral trout]

are u premed

[stuck lion]

its less about what school you went to and more what you do at that school

[ashen sky]

yeah

[stuck lion]

lol good luck

[floral trout]

are u in that premed program at usc

[rich kraken]

masters matter more than undergrad

[ashen sky]

usc doesn't have a program wym

[rich kraken]

just go to a good masters

[ashen sky]

its just premed

[floral trout]

they do i got in ea and they were advertising it

[ashen sky]

oh the freshman science honors thing

they changed the name so i dunno what it is now

its just chem and bio

[tired radish]

yo wtf is the point of premed

[floral trout]

it’s called like dornslife premed academy or smt

[ashen sky]

but without the 1.2 rmp professors

[tired radish]

cant u get into med school from any major

[ashen sky]

yeah its just different classes from the rest of us plebs

if you didn't apply yet ur kinda cooked

[rich kraken]

ask the people who design the education system

[ashen sky]

well you need to take the prerequisite courses anyway

[floral trout]

that’s actually great then

[ashen sky]

premed is not a major

[floral trout]

why

[stuck lion]

no one really majors in "premed"

[floral trout]

applicants aren’t due

[stuck lion]

its just like

[ashen sky]

all the mfs in ea already filled up the spots

[stuck lion]

referring to undergrad before med school

[ashen sky]

ur gonna get wl atp

[rich kraken]

Random question do people major in bio engineering to go to medical school

[floral trout]

how do u know

[rich kraken]

or no?

[floral trout]

do they have smt that says it’s filled

[ashen sky]

yes but they are torturing themselves on purpose

[stuck lion]

some do some dont

[ashen sky]

cuz i applied to ts last year

and it was lwk around the same time as rn

and i got insta waitlisted cuz they already admitted everyone they needed to fill up the spots

[rich kraken]

Isn’t pure biology to a certain degree worse

[ashen sky]

no

cuz biology can have lots of other things that don't involve whatever fuckery is in bioengineering

i thought you meant biomedical engineering for a sec

you can be premed from any major ofc

[rich kraken]

I did I’m asking for both

[ashen sky]

but its just harder if you choose a harder major 💀

[rich kraken]

Some people say bio engineering is easier and they have more difficulty with pure biology

[ashen sky]

well one has engineering classes which is cooked

you have to take ochem biochem gen chem biology etc along with engineering and other major specific classes

so you're just doing double the work with double the pain

maybe 5x the pain

[past minnow]

For bio engineering, you’re going to have to take engineering classes as well which might kill u, like physics e and m and linear circuits

[floral trout]

i don’t think it works like that

[rich kraken]

By the way, I’m not going for medical. I was just curious.

[ashen sky]

lwk premed needs e&m for the mcat

[ashen sky]

it does dawg

they released admissions before the day listed

cuz it was already full 💀

i literally am premed at usc they had that shit in an email 😭

[rich kraken]

If you don’t think it works like that, then just apply and you’ll see whether he’s right or wrong

But I’m pretty sure he’s right though

[floral trout]

why would they do that

[past minnow]

Bro I think most of my pre med friends are ea admits

[floral trout]

that’s so mean to rd students

[tired radish]

pre med and med school n wtv in the us a waste of money icl

[ashen sky]

the admin is lwk dookie so no one knows whats going on

[rich kraken]

This is not to be cliché, but life isn’t fair

[ashen sky]

fr?

maybe usc admits a lot of premeds for ea

[rich kraken]

I thought ucs don’t have EA?

[ashen sky]

they fill out their premed and viterbi with ea i bet

[ashen sky]

tangent to usc

yeah do not apply on april 13th 💀

the earlier you apply the better chances you have

maybe its not cooked rn

between UCs and usc for premed tho id go UCs for the most part

besides berk

literally ucr would be better than berk for premed

[floral trout]

i didn’t apply ucr

[ashen sky]

didn't they have free apps

yall should've done that 💀

[floral trout]

idk i didn’t do that

[tired radish]

too much work

[floral trout]

i did davis ucla ucsd and cal

[ashen sky]

it takes 30 seconds

[tired radish]

exactly

[ashen sky]

i did that form it took 30 seconds last year 😭

[tired radish]

too much work

[spark vault]

Assuming I get rejected from Berk my current plan is to go to UCI and see if I'm cut out for chemical engineering... If it's too hard I'll transfer to normal chem or smth.

[ashen sky]

uci is nice

[spark vault]

Yeah. All the UCs are great.
My only real concern was getting into a campus with comparable weather to Santa Cruz. I love it here but if I don't leave Santa Cruz for college I'm probably gonna be stuck here my entire life. The weather spoiled me though and I would probably melt in riverside.

[ashen sky]

how it feels to be californian

[tired radish]

i hate this weather

[floral trout]

wait on the site for usc premed wtv it says status notified by april 30th then shouldn’t they have a viewing time between 04/13 -04/30

[tired radish]

i want ny weather

[ashen sky]

uci is def cooler than average due to proximity to the coast

[floral trout]

isn’t that how stuff normally works

[spark vault]

[ashen sky]

i dunno bruh the super proactive people apply and they just get in 💀 way earlier than the deadline

cuz like their cohort is pretty small

and theres like a bajillion premeds

[floral trout]

how many ppl

[ashen sky]

its prolly only like a 100 something people icl

[tired radish]

ok wait why do people care so much abt their med school and premed school

dont all doctors like make the exact same

[ashen sky]

no

they all make a lot tho

but its not about the money for some people

for most people in fact

[tired radish]

how much do these "harvard jhu stanford" doctors make

[tired radish]

the prestige???

[ashen sky]

the benefit of a good med school is better match rates

[tired radish]

what else could a med school possibly offer from its name

[spark vault]

Highschool seniors care way too much about prestige. I feel like prestige only matters for a few majors like if you want to do high finance or smth.

[ashen sky]

match rates to competitive specialties

competitive specialties = more money

which is why neurosurgeons all have lambos

[tired radish]

bro healthcare is expanding way too fast ts word competitive cannot be in the name

[rich kraken]

Is Berkeley more ecs based?

compared to others

[tired radish]

thats more to do with their spending habits

[ashen sky]

no

neurosurgeons earn more than your primary care physician

[tired radish]

ok but they can both afford a lambo

[ashen sky]

look at an ophthalmologist (eye doctor)

[tired radish]

lambos arent exactly that unreachable

[floral trout]

what specialty are u planning to go into

[tired radish]

like hyper cars

[spark vault]

After being in school suffering that long you better try your best to enjoy life

[ashen sky]

their salaries range between high 100k to 600k

[tired radish]

also dont plastic surgeons make the most 💀

[ashen sky]

thats not something a college freshman is really thinking about

you think about that during med school

[past minnow]

It’s for better match

[ashen sky]

yeah probably

[past minnow]

School prestige plays a decent play

[spark vault]

Idk how some people have their entire lives planned out from like day 1

[ashen sky]

i dunno either

i literally bullshitted my way through life

[tired radish]

also we cant forget about the costs of these "prestigious" med schools

[ashen sky]

somehow my very low effort time in hs at least got me wl from ucla

[floral trout]

or like considering? u haven’t considered?

[ashen sky]

actually the more prestigious it is the more likely you get financial aid or scholarships

especially if low income

but the more low income you are the harder it is to get in 🥀

same as undergrad

[kindred aurora]

chat ucsd waitlist is cooked lol

25k ppl on it

💀

[tired radish]

and then if you arent low income you are just burning a million dollars

[spark vault]

The rich always win 🗣️

[ashen sky]

yeah

but if you get that competitive specialty match

[tired radish]

a million dollars to be a doctor is crazy work icl

[ashen sky]

you can pay it off really fast once you get out of residency

by then the interest has ballooned tho

[kindred aurora]

❤️‍🔥

[ashen sky]

we are all cooked no matter the field

[kindred aurora]

😆

[tired radish]

yeahh ngl

[ashen sky]

i don't need to

thats too much stress rn

[spark vault]

What if you get through med school and fail to match for residency

[tired radish]

my parents know so many doctors with ridiculous loans still

[ashen sky]

just getting into a DO school would be extremely lucky for me

[tired radish]

like ungodly amount

[ashen sky]

you do something known as a soap

where you try again next year or some shi

theres less residency spots than there is med students

[spark vault]

[tired radish]

yea but if you are like top 10% of your medschool even at the lowest med schools you prolly gonna get a match no?

[ashen sky]

depends

you need to apply to residencies strategically

[tired radish]

is it not just tech to go med school out of country at like some 10k per year tuition

[ashen sky]

some people are still dumb enough to prestige farm shotgun when they're literally old asf

[tired radish]

and then take that test to go into america again

[ashen sky]

well that is like 10x harder

despite the way that the US is cooked

the US medical field is still the top dawg

[tired radish]

yea but like

u can go back to america

[ashen sky]

yes

[tired radish]

usmle

[ashen sky]

it is quite expensive and cooked tho

[tired radish]

or wtv

[ashen sky]

matches can be super nepo or prestige biased

its cooked either way

UC med schools either hyper competitive or region biased

[tired radish]

idk doctor in the big 26 sounds fried

nursing might be better roi

[ashen sky]

medical field is the most stable in a fucked up economy

nursing is genuinely of a similar difficulty

[tired radish]

stability 🫸 who wants stability

[ashen sky]

people who don't wanna get laid off randomly due to economic downturn

[tired radish]

we need to gamble in everything

[ashen sky]

oh true

i love gambling

all my college apps were gambling

[tired radish]

if your entire everything isnt gambling you are doing something wrong

[ashen sky]

funny how i got into ucsd, usc, and wl at ucla with shitpost essays and shitpost ecs

[quasi cedar]

Is there a discord for UCLA admit?

[ashen sky]

probably

[tired radish]

does ucla have like tours or smth

or can i just go there and walk around

[ashen sky]

both

you can sign up for a tour

or just walk in

i did that like 4 times in hs

just walk around for fun

[tired radish]

how long would it take to walk around everything

[quasi cedar]

Ucla regents is out yet?

[tired radish]

i heard its massive

[ashen sky]

ucla is one square mile

[tired radish]

shi

[ashen sky]

or some shi

it lowkenuinely isn't that big

its just a lot of changes in elevation

[kindred aurora]

ofc they got tours

[echo wasp]

gotta get those steps in to practice

[kindred aurora]

but u can js walk to, its pretty nice area, very safe

[echo wasp]

ur gonna be walking just as much

[ashen sky]

i lost in ucla for 2 hours once

[kindred aurora]

chat if I got ucla

does that decrease my chance at berk

[ashen sky]

the campus itself is structured in this cross layout tho

[kindred aurora]

i mean usualyl u only got 1 right

[echo wasp]

no

campuses dont share info with eachother

[kindred aurora]

yeah but

in general ppl end up with one

not both

😢

[tired radish]

idk but i got ucla and im getting rejected berkeley 200%

[ashen sky]

mfs at my hs got into both

[kindred aurora]

dam

[ashen sky]

and other shi

too cracked

just be crackeder

[tired radish]

idk how berkeley is the one sliming me out considering ucla is supposed to care abt gpa

aint going to either of these grade deflated ahh schools anyway

[kindred aurora]

how do u know berkeley rejct u

💀

i dont trust astro

[ashen sky]

astro is fake

[kindred aurora]

twin its 5 days

i can wait

[tired radish]

what twin twoonly over here said

[kindred aurora]

😭

[ashen sky]

cc to uc is cheaper and easier chat

[tired radish]

idc tho they aint getting any cortisol spiking out of me

[ashen sky]

lets drop out

[tired radish]

alr decided after ucsb

🙏

i lowk didnt choose the college at ucsd so i got that fuck ass roosevelt college anyways

[ashen sky]

damn cooked

i missed out on ucsd i should've went

[kindred aurora]

same lol

but I got ucla now so I lwk dont care what colelge i got in ucsd

xd

[ashen sky]

i got seventh college last year 🥀

ucla lwk got worse dorms than ucsd apparently

[tired radish]

shoeboxes

[ashen sky]

no ac triples is genuinely buns

[tired radish]

im lowk living off campus after first year wherever i go

so idm the dorms too much

[ashen sky]

i forgot other people don't have insane finaid 🥀 🥀

i would dorm all 4 years cuz its basically free for me (but i did not get off that fuckass wl)

[tired radish]

not one dollar 💔

[ashen sky]

yeah off campus is marginally cheaper

[tired radish]

they tryna take money if anything with their loans

[ashen sky]

i dunno how much cheaper off campus ucla housing is tho 💀
