All UCs (2025-2026)

[ashen sky]

westwood type shi

[tired radish]

i think itll prolly be more

cuz sb and la are like expensive as shit

but like its not gonna be a shoebox

so like space to focus

[echo wasp]

sb is like 1k

[ashen sky]

usc off campus is cheaper than on campus

so i dunno

[tired radish]

is usc in compton or sum

[ashen sky]

marginally cheaper

but cheaper nonetheless

[ashen sky]

its gentrified downtown

[tired radish]

ic

[ashen sky]

we gentrified ts

[tired radish]

bro i wish ucsb was actually in santa barbara

cuz santa barbara homes are so nice but then isla vista lowk looks like trash 😭

[echo wasp]

[ashen sky]

half the ucs are not actually in the city they're named after

[kindred aurora]

[ashen sky]

[kindred aurora]

wya

[tired radish]

yeah thats what i was thinking abt

[ashen sky]

usc

[kindred aurora]

oooo fire

[tired radish]

i saw a few places which are like 30-60 min walk to campus

which is like honestly not bad

[ashen sky]

one hour walk is bad

fym

[echo wasp]

[tired radish]

and as long as you arnt in the sun from like 12-2

[hollow dock]

are there any cool traditions at uci!

[swift pine]

how hard to transfer from cas to haas

[raven mauve]

Not really seems bad but it goes by quick

[ashen sky]

imagine having an 8 am class tho

you gotta wake up at like 6:30, and get walking by 7, just to barely make it to class

worse if its as midterm

[echo wasp]

need the bike

[dense pumice]

Ofc! The clubs I’m talking about that are hard to get into are stroke team, stroke force, EMRA, mobile clinic project, scope pha, pulse, and Bruin beans. All these clubs get several hundred applications and accept anywhere from 3-15 people a cohort. To get in, I had to do a written application, a coffee chat, and two rounds of interviews for one club and for the other, coffee chat and an interview. So it was pretty hard 😭 research was a lot easier to get, I just emailed people!

[wise wedge]

oh nah club applications

[raven mauve]

Oh yeah this would be hell

[ashen sky]

Mobile clinic is so tough

At usc

Holy moly

Only accepts apps in the fall and they have like 10 people total 😭

Why not expand

[dense pumice]

Yup

[dense pumice]

Same here

[ashen sky]

Mobile clinics would be so goated

[dense pumice]

We work w ur mobile clinic

They’re really cool

But they bailed on us so my club is mad

[ashen sky]

Bruh

Premed clubs are kinda iffy anyway

Fun clubs are 10x better raaaah

[dense pumice]

True

[frosty geyser]

Rejected from ucla

Damn

[steep meteor]

Wait does anyone know if internationals get the ucla acceptance package

[rich kraken]

[dense cave]

Yea it’s close

[fierce tree]

sigh

waitlist warriors

[stuck lion]

[echo wasp]

big yumyums

[fast condor]

[stuck lion]

hard depends on ur major

[native arrow]

[fast condor]

Ok thx

[echo wasp]

[quasi cedar]

If you didn't apply finaid yes

[modest pulsar]

Like as another decision letter? Yes i did not apply for aid

[magic slate]

I was admitted to UCSD, but the message tab shows portal inactive, and I also cannot access the "admitted students events" tab. Is this something to worry about? Should I email the office?

[kindred aurora]

[karmic nacelle]

ucla ucd ucsb ucsd uci

[steel dome]

Bro who wants to go to Missouri

💔🥀

Just mog at Purdue

Or smtn

[karmic nacelle]

im tryna choose between wisconsin madison and purdue engineering 😭

its kinda not straightforward :p

[steel dome]

Wait Purdue engineering is lit no?

[karmic nacelle]

ye if i decide to switch from chem e to aero or sum like that

otherwise UWM is slightly better in chem e and opportunities

and alot more in research funding

[steel dome]

I see

[karmic nacelle]

gotta see where my priorities lie

if i had my way id enroll in both

[wise wedge]

how hard is it to get into ucla for a pre data sci major i haven’t really thought about it

I know it’s hard but like how hard

[dim dagger]

guys how big is the typical ucla class size and whats like the biggest one u ever had

[sick vessel]

Depends a ton on the department

Biggest I’ve had is about 220, most of the ones I’ve had are 70-150

[dim dagger]

wtf

thats so many

[tidal mica]

A friend of mine had a 700 person lecture as a freshman

That was an extreme outlier though

Idek how it happened

[astral portal]

is there a ucsd/ucla admit server? ik riverside and davis have one iirc

[dense pumice]

As a premed 350

[dense pumice]

That’s not possible unless it was online

Our biggest lec hall is Moore which is 448

[dense pumice]

Decently challenging upper divs

[dim dagger]

what about for an econ major

actually prob like still pretty big

[dense pumice]

Yeah same thing

There’s 34k

Undergrad

[teal sundial]

Did ucla's decision come out?

[wise wedge]

yes

[real fable]

It's really not, #1400595113540980836

[main patio]

still heard nothing from the college about my portal

They probably take weekends off

[dusky pebble]

u can appeal ur rejection

if ur counselor sent a mistake or smth

[cosmic kayak]

aren’t you the one who got into hypsm early 🧐

bros actually ngmi without ucla frfr

[dusky pebble]

i didnt apply ucla

[dusky pebble]

nah i just didnt want to go to ucla

cuz i wouldnt be able to commute

[main patio]

ts is so annoying 😭 😭 😭

Did you all get emails when your decision was posted or nah?

[dusky pebble]

u applied ucla but no decsicon?

[main patio]

My application just dissapeared from their records apparently

Still shows up on UC page

[dusky pebble]

weird

[main patio]

I even double checked to make sure I was using the right information in the status page and I was

[dusky pebble]

dont expect any response on the weekend tho

[main patio]

Yeah

That's the frustrating part, I was just checking today to see if it resolved itself but I probably have to wait until tommorow to see

[kindred aurora]

oh nahhh purdue

💀

[umbral beacon]

What’s wrong with Purdue

[kindred aurora]

nothing lol

[umbral beacon]

lol okay

[kindred aurora]

☠️

[umbral beacon]

😭🙏

[kindred aurora]

i mean its a good school w enginerg ranking

BUT LITERALLY EVERYONE FROM MY SCHOOL GETS IN

even the ppl that took like 1 AP which was AP drinking or sum

xd

[umbral beacon]

They prolly got into the Indianapolis campus

[kindred aurora]

ohhh u right

[umbral beacon]

Bc the main campus is hard to get into

Yeah

We don’t talk about the Indianapolis campus

[cosmic kayak]

not gonna make it

[kindred aurora]

wital

witts

😆

[kindred aurora]

nah they got main campus icl

weird

[umbral beacon]

For engineering?

[kindred aurora]

yeah

like ai

cs

eng

💀

[umbral beacon]

damn

Good for them ig

[kindred aurora]

maybe we js feed tho

[umbral beacon]

Maybe? Are yall instate for Purdue or Cali students

[kindred aurora]

cali

[umbral beacon]

Hm

Most ppl at my school got the Indianapolis campus

[kindred aurora]

dam

sad

wohooo

[umbral beacon]

Idk maybe yall are a feeder 😭

[umbral beacon]

They waitlisted me lol

[kindred aurora]

damn

[signal copper]

lowkey bro

purdue

idk

[signal copper]

bro im thet only one who got a decision for purdue

the rest of my friends r still waiting

😭

[umbral beacon]

Most ppl that applied for flat out rejected or are Indy bound

I only know one other person

But she applied to an easier major and is planning on transferring

[last acorn]

add an F right infront btw

https://tenor.com/view/pikachu-happy-pokemon-gif-23106503

[raven tusk]

fuclaaaa

[empty pollen]

waitlisted UCLA :(

[warm juniper]

who is it

dm me i must know this opp lore

also u can just get the '26 role or wtv

u could be very valuable for providing info

[karmic nacelle]

theres already a L in ucla

[woven rune]

anybody not get much love from the ucs but get into ucsd ?

tryna see how common it was this year

[chilly zealot]

Would it be worth to go to washu over ucla for pre med

[buoyant axle]

I think a trend is so many ppl got waitlisted

I heard 30-50k

[ashen sky]

fucla

[woven rune]

If ucla is 80k for u obviously

[ashen sky]

mfs be like
probably relatively cheaper equally prestigious private school with better support systems and better housing
vs
oos state school that costs 80k-90k and is overcrowded and has dookie dorms and has high col 💀

[woven rune]

any uc oos is ridiculous

[ashen sky]

unless you got a full outside scholarship

like full ride

thats the only situation where its ok

[valid depot]

when does ucsd start sending out info about if you got any scholarships

[ashen sky]

isnt' it supposed to be with ur finaid

or with your acceptance

i didn't get shi last year so i dunno

[valid depot]

when i go to the finaid section of the app portal it shows this

same thing if i go to messages

[chilly zealot]

i mean im oos for both washu and ucla

so

itll both be rly expensivbe

[ashen sky]

for washu oos doesn't matter that much since its private 💀

would've been the same regardless

[ashen sky]

i remember this happened last year

i think everyone has to wait a bit for ucsd finaid

cuz they released it like right before triton days or some shi

[shrewd widget]

day 7 of begging uc berkeley to accept me

[brisk flint]

anybody ucla here?

[fast condor]

Yeah

[brisk flint]

sweett what major?

[fast condor]

Math

[brisk flint]

congrats dude, im tryna join some communities and meet more ppl before i decide to commit yk how i could do that?

[modest pulsar]

Guys how long does it take for you to learn to drive and commute 4 hours? I will have to stay at my grandmas house which is in fresno (3.5 hrs away from ucla)

[spark vault]

I don't think you can learn a 4 hour commute
That's just soul crushing

[modest pulsar]

Ill probably go and come back during the weekends not every day

[fast condor]

I don’t know either honestly, I’m tryna do that too

[modest pulsar]

My country does not allow driving until 19 so.. kinda missed out on alot

[brisk flint]

rippp. I stumbled across the origami club server and the ppl were surprisingly nice lol but thats the best i could find, i wish there was a co 2030 server ☹️ one prob exists i just cant find it

[cosmic kayak]

This will not work

You can't commute 4 hours every day

Oh, on the weekend

[modest pulsar]

yeah I kinda worded it wrong

[cosmic kayak]

The traffic in LA is shit but as far as I know the drivers are not actually assholes like they are in other cities

It will definitely take you months though

[modest pulsar]

My main concern is with the highways and exits\

shit looks confusing af

[cosmic kayak]

its not

plus youll be driving at like 5 mph the entire time

having a car on campus will be not fun though

[spark vault]

True 😭

fucla

[cosmic kayak]

upon close inspection of google maps satellite view it doesnt look like campus has long term parking

[steep meteor]

hello!

[steep meteor]

ppl on xhs recommend escooters

[brisk flint]

hey u planning on committing?

[steep meteor]

idk man I gotta see if there are other offers first

but the undeclared major UCLA gave me sounds promising

[brisk flint]

sweeett

do yk if theres an admit server?

[steep meteor]

nope don't think so

[native arrow]

w tryhard

[fast condor]

Bro ur literally in cmu server

[native arrow]

bro it's different

[fringe elbow]

How r people affording the UCs with zero financial aid 💀

[native arrow]

in state is very affordable

compare to oos

[fringe elbow]

Yeah but its still like 50kish for UCLA in state 😭

Is it just mostly loans?

[native arrow]

all us universities are very expensive

[fringe elbow]

Thats true but it's still shocking 😭 Like it's incredible the student body is so large regardless

Its also kinda tragic that for UCLA and UCB especially the tuition is very afforable but it's the housing that's killer 🥹

I wonder how many people would be debt free rn if it wasn't for their 20k moldy dorm room LOL

[native arrow]

yea the living cost of la and bay is really expensive

[fringe elbow]

I guess you could always find ur own place

[torpid berry]

good luck finding a decent cheaper place in westwood or berkeley 😵‍💫

[tired radish]

Money ig

[tired radish]

Nah berkeley got hoods

[wise wedge]

[lofty robin]

Any discussion about whether or not material you've received or a change related to your college portal means you've been accepted/rejected/etc. falls under "portal astrology" and is not allowed. This includes suggesting that having a button on your portal determines if you get in or not, a checklist disappearing meaning you're rejected, or assuming financial aid emails get you into a school. This is due to these speculations being usually incorrect, and can cause the spread of misinformation, panic, and anxiety at some of the most stressful times.

[fringe elbow]

tent.,..

[tidal mica]

Do not commute from Fresno to ucla

[tidal mica]

Lots of students do apartments here for a reason

[tidal mica]

Oh for weekends it’s not awful…

[dapper bear]

socal traffic is always weird
there's places that have traffic 24/7 usually(not 24/7 but basically throughought the day and night, just not the midnight hours)

[tidal mica]

Yeah driving long distances here always sucks

[dapper bear]

yeah 🙁 sadly

[solar spire]

does uci look at gpa for waitlist?

[echo wasp]

they look at a lot of stuff

[ashen sky]

Fym bruh

That shit is awful

Ts like going from la to sd every weekend

Thank god i live in sgv

[dense pumice]

[dense cave]

[ashen sky]

no

but they would've given me a fat check for going

[torpid fiber]

yes

[torpid fiber]

thats valid

[ashen sky]

i have really bad allergies in davis/sac area so i could not accept the admission offer last year

[torpid fiber]

especially cost wise but even aside from that

[steep meteor]

okay maybe it's time

[dense cave]

how you know

[ashen sky]

the finaid was fat

and i have other grants

i am mega poor

[dense cave]

like -1500 sai

[raven tusk]

[raven tusk]

oh yeah its bad

but!!!

[dense cave]

cali drivers license is so easy

[raven tusk]

a bottle of claritin and a prayer!!!

[ashen sky]

-900 was good enough

[raven tusk]

sometimes i took 3 pills a day to manage them

[ashen sky]

i would rather not run out one day and then be unable to see due to the pollen

[raven tusk]

esp in second allergy season in sep/oct

[torpid fiber]

does 6k sai get u good aid

[ashen sky]

if i get caught lacking one time

i would be literally blind

[raven tusk]

amazon sells 365 generic for 9 bucks

[ashen sky]

[ashen sky]

oh thats kinda goated

[raven tusk]

better than my 40k 🥀

[torpid fiber]

amazon is so nice for basic medicine like that

[ashen sky]

i don't want to take a pill for a whole semester tho

[torpid fiber]

rip

[raven tusk]

you wont need it at all in winter

[ashen sky]

i like my LA life where i don't take that many pills

[torpid fiber]

im kinda hoping it does next year cuz my parents cant rlly pay for shit

[ashen sky]

the last two quarters are all pollen

[raven tusk]

we once had to get aspirin and we got like 100 pills for 4 bucks (we didnt need ts)

[raven tusk]

[raven tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/folk-druski-sona-instagram-instagram-meme-gif-18271404859547050805

[ashen sky]

i would need claritin zyrtec and mental health pills in davis

im not swallowing this many white things

in one day

every day

[raven tusk]

hey dont sleep on 3,000 IU of vitamin D a day

very helpful

[ashen sky]

i hate pills

[raven tusk]

yo PAUSE

[ashen sky]

can every medication be a nicotine patch

[raven tusk]

lowkey

[ashen sky]

its chemically really hard otherwise someone would've done it already

sg driver license theory test is 38/40 to PASS

[ashen sky]

i made 8 mistakes on my first written dmv test

[echo wasp]

dmv is kinda a joke in cali

[stuck lion]

i almost crashed and they still passed me

[ashen sky]

second time i spedran it in 5 minutes and only made 2 mistakes

[torpid fiber]

i got 15 mistakes on my drivers license test and passed

[dense cave]

oh yea ur good i made 15 mistakes on the driving test and passed

[echo wasp]

i fully crossed a bike lane and theh guy was like allg

[dense cave]

[torpid fiber]

why did we say the same thing

[dense cave]

[ashen sky]

[dense cave]

i just made a number up😭

[ashen sky]

i haven't driven in a year

[dense cave]

[torpid fiber]

i was being fr 😭

[dense cave]

[torpid fiber]

15 is the cutoff

[dense cave]

o shi

bro lmk when ur on the roads so i can stay off

jk

[torpid fiber]

nah im a good driver now

dw

[ashen sky]

im asian so i will instantly speed onto the highway and do a 7 lane drift

[dense cave]

no highway on driving test

[ashen sky]

i know

i will do it anyway

its in my blood and my yellowness

i inherit the LA driver spirit

[stuck lion]

the stereotypes are true btw

was driving today and i caught a dude doing 25 in a 40

[ashen sky]

yeah all my friends suck at driving

[stuck lion]

motherfucker was in BOTH LANES

[ashen sky]

my mom sucks at driving

my dad will go 40 mph in a school zone

[ashen sky]

lmao

[stuck lion]

never before have i wanted to kill a man as much as today

[torpid fiber]

driving is highkey easy but i have a rlly bad habit of being on my phone when i drive

😭

[stuck lion]

brother what

[ashen sky]

dawg

all my friends do this too

[stuck lion]

???

im sorry???

[torpid fiber]

these reels arent gonna watch themselves

[ashen sky]

i am in fear for my life when i get in the passenger seat

ur watching REELS

[torpid fiber]

ok its only when i drive alone

chill on me

[stuck lion]

i thought i was bad

but apparently next to you guys im fucking max verstappen

[torpid fiber]

or like on spotify getting my queue right

[stuck lion]

holy shit

[ashen sky]

my friends do that 💀

watch out near usc and irvine chat

[torpid fiber]

im a good driver tho dw

i have never caused an accident

[tranquil crane]

😨

[ashen sky]

the closer you get to OC, SGV, koreatown/little tokyo, or anywhere predominantly asian, the riskier it is to drive and still be alive

so basically anywhere near a college too

chinese intls will run over babies in their porsche

[stuck lion]

bro tell me about it

white tesla model x

[ashen sky]

can't escape the tesla

[torpid fiber]

its always the teslas

[ashen sky]

my family has a tesla too 💀

i dunno how we afforded that shi

[stuck lion]

dont worry i drive one too

[torpid fiber]

didnt u say u were broke

[stuck lion]

mostly bc gas prices are fucking balls to the wall insae

[ashen sky]

lets run over children on the street together

[ashen sky]

yeah but i think the overall cost of an electric car and electric bills is cheaper than gas

[torpid fiber]

i mean idk about that

[ashen sky]

also sold previous car for cash

or some shi

[stuck lion]

have you not seen a gas station in the last month

[ashen sky]

i dunno

[torpid fiber]

comparing a new ice car and a new ev sure

but u dont need new

[ashen sky]

that station in downtown is like 7-8 dollars a gallon

[ashen sky]

ts back in 2020

so i dunno

maybe my parents were really good at either saving money
or
tax evasion

[stuck lion]

costco gas is $5.60 a gallon bro

im in fucking shambles

[torpid fiber]

yeah but teslas are like $30-40k

💀

[stuck lion]

u can just buy used, no?

[ashen sky]

prolly adds up over the next ten years

[stuck lion]

i could be wrong but arent they like hella cheap

[ashen sky]

this car is never getting replaced until it breaks down forever

or elon musk blows them all up

[torpid fiber]

i mean used teslas kinda suck

and still a used ice is way cheaper than a used tesla

[echo wasp]

buses 🔥

[ashen sky]

the door always broke too

teslas fucking suck

at least its free repairs or some shi

[echo wasp]

isnt their repairs terrible though

like it just breaks again

[ashen sky]

yeah it happened like 5 times

it hasn't happened in a few years now tho

[stuck lion]

interesting

[ashen sky]

so ig it will break one day and the warranty is hella expired

so we will be fucked

haha

[stuck lion]

i dont think my parents really had issues with theirs

and they have hella miles on it

[ashen sky]

i think it was shitty cuz it was during the quarantine

the elon musk slaves building the car were tired

[tidal mica]

Hello everyone!! In honor of UCSD decisions being out, I got in as undeclared when my first choice major was Data Science. How can i switch before school starting? Im in a strict scholarship program and need my major to match what the schorlaship gave me

[pearl abyss]

I know I need to start the term to declare a major but can someone give me ideas on How can I convince them. Thank you

[steep meteor]

UCB before UCLA is interesting

[frosty geyser]

It sucks cause this server is mostly full of complete assholes

Thank you for ur sympathy

[modest pulsar]

ts real

[rich kraken]

college apps are a gamble

you win some , you lose some

you can always do masters tho

[frosty geyser]

This doesn’t help bruh

That’s what I mean

[weary spruce]

well when you say it like that it makes other ppl feel bad who haven't gotten a school like uiuc yet

[frosty geyser]

Yeah mb

[weary spruce]

all g its a perspective thing

always good to look around and count your blessings sometimes

[woven rune]

if ur a cali resident

ur chilling

1 year cc transfer

if ur oos u shouldn’t be going to the uc anyways

[main patio]

I was forgetting one number in my ID the whole time

Also I got rejected

Not like it means anything but I was hoping for another acceptance to counter the shit show that is my life right now

[rich kraken]

Depends on major

[flint kraken]

[warm juniper]

Btw ucsd better

[echo wasp]

u dont wanna go to cal

semester system not good frfr

[balmy blaze]

isn't berkeley semester

[torpid fiber]

yea and merced

[torpid fiber]

everyone says quarter system is evil

my experience at cc with semester system tho is classes r lowkey too long i would prefer quarter system

i would rather fit more classes in

[echo wasp]

it is very very evil

[dusk cradle]

boots and boots

[dense cave]

What scholarship program, DSc is impacted at ucsd so it would be hard to switch in

[dense cave]

Quarter is buns

[stuck lion]

its evil but i can't imagine doing semesters

[dusk cradle]

wait you still have midterms during quarter system?

i thought just finals

[stuck lion]

ye

midterm season starts at week 3 and ends at week 10 💀

[dusk cradle]

what

how long are midterms usually

r there multiple

[stuck lion]

usually within the class period (50 min-1hr 30) but sometimes they schedule it outside of ur class period

[stuck lion]

depends on the class but for most lower div stem classes yes

[dusk cradle]

so like a big test ish

[stuck lion]

yeah

except that big test is like 30% of your grade

[dusk cradle]

:c

i dont want to go now

senioritis is breaking down too many of my braincells I wont be able to keep up w/ schedule

[fringe elbow]

You will be fine! It sounds scary but I'm sure that once you get there it won't be thattttt bad... Plus every prof has different grading systems

[stuck lion]

it is very scary

but you'll be fine

[valid depot]

UCSD finaid is out

at least for me

they ain’t givin me SHIT

[flint kraken]

what are they giving you?

[valid depot]

literally nothing

[flint kraken]

not 0$?

[valid depot]

0$

i didn’t get into UCLA

is it difficult to try and bounce UC scholarships off of each other

bc UCSC would give me 20k a year

[valid depot]

no

[frosty geyser]

UCs are so expensive

I should’ve made a feminism spike

Applied to feminism studies at ucla

[flint kraken]

and what do you intend to do with that education? literally the most useless major ive ever heard of

[frosty geyser]

Go to law school and then look back fondly on my college dating years

[flint kraken]

that's the smartest major in mankind's history

tf

[frosty geyser]

4d chess

Specifically UCLA so I can capitalize on ABGs

Which is why my ucla rejection was so painful

[drifting valley]

yes

[torpid fiber]

bro everyone says ts but semester system is so slow

the classes r like 16 weeks long

[cosmic kayak]

don’t u want to transfer to berk

[torpid fiber]

highkey not anymore and even if i did berk being semester system wouldnt make me not want to go there

[cosmic kayak]

fair fair

[torpid fiber]

berk is so grade deflated i think it would genuinely be impossible if they were on the quarter system 😭

[ashen sky]

Uci or ucr dawg

Ucla is not abg heaven its maniacal engineer or premed hell

[sand turtle]

does anyone know if i can enroll at UCLA into letters and sciences for pre-IDS and then transfer to the theater college in my first year or would i even be allowed to apply for a transfer

i realized i hate my choice of major and want to completely pivot and should have done so six months ago

[echo wasp]

not sure how selective theater is but im assuming if you are qualified it shouldnt be that bad

[iron gull]

are there any ucla gcs? thank you!

idk

[steep meteor]

this is correct

[rain siren]

are there any ucsd group chats

also where do we check tuition

okok lol

[sage pine]

can we not speak solely in emojis lol

[kindred aurora]

brooo

wth

why

😭

NO WAY thats a rule

let me be free

😭

what is this oppresion

😢

[proper pawn]

[sage pine]

it prob falls under spam

[kindred aurora]

💀

its not spam

[sage pine]

doing it once or twice is fine but lets not talk solely in it

[kindred aurora]

im not saying the same thing

bruh alr

[kindred aurora]

?

[sage pine]

ehh dont think so
idk if you really insist you can ping and ask chloe she has final say on things

[kindred aurora]

[kindred aurora]

@placid crystal can I talk like this lol

[limpid coyote]

I don't get any say in this but I approve

[placid crystal]

No it’s spam

its once a day

😭

alr i wont do it xd

oh damn jus realize u own the server xd

insane

[raven tusk]

it is

dartmouth has the best academic schedule but yall aint ready for that convo

[valid depot]

it also is terrible for anyone who is using a screenreader

[kindred aurora]

oh

u right

[sick vessel]

Actually TFT at ucla is harder to switch into than pretty much every other college

[echo wasp]

yeah ngl thats what i expected

usually the more specialized the harder

[shrewd surge]

is ucsd rlly socially dead

where everyonme just stays in their rooms all dayu

[tired spindle]

no

you can be as social as you like and not social as you like anywhere you go

[rain siren]

are there any ucsd class of 2030 group chats or like

anything

[stuck lion]

thats crazy

best place to immerse would be geisel library

[stuck lion]

there's a discord server iirc

[stuck lion]

nah i know people who party

plus its p easy to make friends and stuff

[rain siren]

ooh ok ty

[stuck lion]

its just that the party scene isnt as pronounced

[indigo garnet]

my friend who goes to sd complains abt the parties lol

bc its so loud

[hollow nebula]

how hard is it to transfer from math/econ to business economics at ucla

[echo wasp]

sounds kinda hard

[pearl abyss]

It's a scholarship program from my country, i'm international

What about AI

I need a way to convince them through email

If i don't get in Data Science i lose the scholarship 😭😭💔💔

[stuck lion]

you could go math+cs

[dense cave]

bruh what kinda restriction is that😭 can u tell them about ur situation

i dont think u can switch into AI at all iirc

could be wrong tho

[pearl abyss]

Really is it easier to get into?

[wooden notch]

cs...

[pearl abyss]

I know😭😭 but this scholarship is the best in the country i can't lose it i mean i can try to get into anything cs related and convince them but undeclared means losing it

[pearl abyss]

lol i figured

Ok i need super smart people

How to gaslight admissions officers

[dense cave]

math cs isnt impacted u can just switch into it if u want

[dense cave]

it has to be cs / coding related ?

[stuck lion]

its not capped

[stuck lion]

its a subdivision of cs iirc

[pearl abyss]

Ohh and can i switch into it before the semester starts?

[pearl abyss]

Yes and even then i might lose the scholarship, data science is the only garaunteed way

[pearl abyss]

Gotcha

[dense cave]

math cs not in engineering department tho

[dense cave]

i think so

[stuck lion]

there is literally no way to transfer into the eng department without waiting a year

wait

actually

you could just hope they let u in over the summer

[pearl abyss]

Reaalllyyy? this summer before freshman year starts?

That's possible?

🥹

[stuck lion]

yeah if they have a slot open they might let u in

[pearl abyss]

Okay so i should email them begging them to let me in if a slot opens for data science right?

[modest pulsar]

Is majoring bio (premed) and minoring in history just because of interest a reasonable decision?

[stuck lion]

no

they'll just let you know if they do decide

[pearl abyss]

Ik people with me in the scholarship same major and might reject the ucsd offer and go somewhere else.. meaning a data science slot could be open. Should i mention that to them?

[pearl abyss]

That is so stressful lol

i'm international so i need to know a while beforehand for visa and such

[past minnow]

DS is unlikely tbh. It’s impacted

[pearl abyss]

😔

[stuck lion]

its def possible

but who knows

i wouldn't count on it tbh

[past minnow]

Tbh I would rather go to a school that offered me the major I wanted instead of trying to switch majors.

[pearl abyss]

Omggg i didn't know this was possible

so i just do nothing and hope right

[stuck lion]

yeah

[pearl abyss]

Can i ask around when did you get the email

[dense cave]

im talking about math cs tho thats not impacted

ngl just call them up and ask since this is a big deal 4 u

[stuck lion]

my friend got it in may

[astral portal]

😭 ok idk if this makes u feel any better but i was accepted data science but im most likely rejecting the offer too. i wish you luck!!! also congrats on your acceptance!!

[pearl abyss]

Yeah i'll try doing that

[pearl abyss]

Ok good timing not too late

[pearl abyss]

Hahah thankyou and goodluck!!!😆😆

[pearl abyss]

This was after accepting the offer right?

[stuck lion]

yeah

[pearl abyss]

I mean i need to accept and pay the deposit for this to possible happen

Aye okay

🔥

does it make a difference if i accept the offer earlier

[magic slate]

If I was admitted undeclared, does that mean I have to choose a major when i commit to UCSD?

Also, I found out that I was rejected from two non-selective majors, is that even possible? (as an intl without APs but taking them this year)

[pearl abyss]

Me and u on the same boat twin

[pearl abyss]

Go into ur portal and you'll find "admitted major change form FA26"

See if the major u want is on there

Obv not all majors are on there just the non selective ones

[magic slate]

No astrology allowed here I think

[tawdry jolt]

mb

[magic slate]

I looked at the change form, but I don’t see any STEM majors😭. (I checked the selective majors list, and most STEM majors aren’t selective.)

Oh, nvm, I get it now.

[dense cave]

no u can choose later

for ucsd its on ur acceptance letter or ur financial aid i forgot or a bit after (but thats rarer)

but id assume its the same for ucal

ucla

[magic slate]

Ok, thanks.🙏

[wraith lake]

if im intending a major in math and physical science for berkeley what path do i take after gen ed

[dry iron]

My finaid for UCI is still pending

When do we need finaid documents in by??

[wise wedge]

nah don’t worry I’ll drop my data science offer

[wise wedge]

just submit them rn but if u wanted to see financial aid offers ur fafsa should’ve been submitted by March 2

[spark vault]

Are these optional
I did the housing plan one, but I don't see why these would be required

[dry iron]

Yeah I need to do those

I think u need to do it

[dry iron]

I’ve already submitted fafsa

I don’t understand why it still says pending

Help

[earnest finch]

got into caltech but rejected ucla and ucsd

[sick vessel]

With your admission letter

[fickle folio]

💀

[boreal mantle]

what time is berk

[lament scarab]

It was 3:30 pst for EA

[kindred aurora]

Did anyone else get the Dr. Lennon Goins Alumni Scholarship Fund (GASF)

does everyone get that

for UCSD

its like a 15k scholarship idk

oh nvm

its applicaiton

nvmh

my ahh sw COGNRAUGALTIONS

AND THOGUHT I GOT IT

[placid crystal]

^ would expect the same this year

They’ve done that time with no notice 3 years in a row now

[dense cave]

I didn’t even know those existed to apply to before ur first year😭

[pearl abyss]

ay ayyy🔥🔥

[kindred aurora]

did eveyrone get invited to bruin day : D

[placid crystal]

If you’re admitted yeah

[carmine flax]

I assume all UCLA regents have been awarded at this point right

[limpid coyote]

Yes

[dense cave]

its possible to get regents later but its rare

[pearl abyss]

Yo btw can i ask are they instate or out of state?

im international so i feel like id have a lower chance..

[royal grotto]

whats the max scholarship that UCI has given thhis year?

[tiny zephyr]

Like an individual scholarship or total financial aid?

[royal grotto]

merit scholarship i mean

[limpid coyote]

whatever the regents scholarship is

[royal grotto]

it doesnt say on the website 😭

[limpid coyote]

I would assume 5k a year, UC's don't give that much in merit

[limpid coyote]

someone said on reddit that it is 6k a year

[torpid fiber]

regents is 6k??

😭

[brisk flint]

if anybody wants to join the ucla ‘30 admit server dm me! we wanna get connected with more ppl

[pearl abyss]

is there a ucsd admit server :3

[wooden dagger]

is berkeley release time confirmed to be 3:30 pst?

[lusty island]

does anyone know how easy it is to transfer from ece to eecs in berkeley

[astral portal]

no but it's highly speculated

[rain siren]

yep!

[dense cave]

u dont think thats good

[torpid fiber]

is it a one time thing

or is it reoccuring

[dense cave]

per uear

year

[torpid fiber]

o thats good

i thought it was a one time scholarship

6k is like not even 2 quarters of tuition

but if its yearly thats good

[dense cave]

Yea and other benefits too

[torpid fiber]

fr

like what

[drifting valley]

mmm for davis oos the amounts were varying. I got 30k over 4 years and someone got 35k over 4

[dense cave]

Guaranteed 4 year on campus housing, early class registration and I think some other minor stuff I forgot

[torpid fiber]

wait that’s goated

can transfers get that??

[dense cave]

Yea

[torpid fiber]

yo i hope i get that

do u just have to be a cracked applicant

[dense cave]

Prayers up

[spark vault]

its kinda just random

[dense cave]

Basically kinda

[torpid fiber]

makes sense

[dense cave]

I think if ur a transfer the money that a first year gets for 4 u get that money for 2 years

Don’t quote me on it tho

[torpid fiber]

that makes sense

[dense cave]

Like that same amount of a first year condensed to 2 years

[torpid fiber]

o fr

not just they slice off the last 2 years

that's interesting

[dense cave]

Yeah I could be wrong tho I don’t remember

[limpid coyote]

I think most get 5k a year, UCSD gave me 10k a year which surprised me, but UCSB gave me 5k a year

[dense cave]

damn u cracked 10k a year

[soft isle]

is berkelet 26 or 27

[spark vault]

only UC ive got anything but loans from is 3k a year from merced

[spark vault]

ivy day
26th

[soft isle]

danf

[warm token]

26 see pins

[limpid coyote]

idk how I got regents from two schools, I'm not that cracked of an applicant

[warm token]

regents fire

[spark vault]

where u headed

[limpid coyote]

idk yet but, right now it's between georgia tech and naval academy

[warm token]

naval academy!!

is that the one in annapolis

[limpid coyote]

yes

[warm token]

woww

if i dont get this tech job ill be working for the us navy's research labs 😭

[limpid coyote]

Selling your soul to the us government is the best way to get a job now

[fierce tree]

can u dm

[dense cave]

u not even considering ucsd w a 10k scholarship?

[limpid coyote]

I got nrotc already so wherever I go tuition is paid for and paying for housing is not a problem for me wherever I go. It’s a consideration but not likely.

[ashen sky]

10k gives you cash

[limpid coyote]

I know

[ashen sky]

Go for da refund check

[timid agate]

wati i got 15k

[torpid fiber]

is that total aid or just merit

they're talking merit

[timid agate]

merit

[torpid fiber]

damn nice

that's a lot

[timid agate]

ikr i was like thats crazy

directors

[torpid fiber]

wow thats crazy

gj

[limpid coyote]

I think directors is oos only

[timid agate]

o

ye cuz tuition higher

oh i didnt reaad context ig

[limpid coyote]

Regents is the best for in state

[torpid fiber]

theyre damn near the same major

y transfer

it cant be that hard though theyre both under the eecs department

[echo wasp]

ive always thought its the same thing

[torpid fiber]

wym

[echo wasp]

ece and eecs

like both is ee + cs

[torpid fiber]

theyre 2 separate majors

[echo wasp]

they learn essentially the same thing no?

[torpid fiber]

ece was created to be more focused on electrical/computer engineering than cs

hold on lemme pull up the requirements

but eecs is more cs focused and less ee focused basically

[echo wasp]

i guess

you could always be ece with cs focus thtough

[torpid fiber]

you could
