Polisci wave plz 🙏🙏🙏🙏🥹

has anyone had any updates in the portal?

RIP

ucsd 😑 am i gonna be a triton already or..??

anyone have any portal changes like last week?

do we think tdy or nah

Is ucsd going to have a wave today? Potential stem major?…. Biochem, chem maybe?…

We expecting a wave today? Also what’s the overall health of the waitlist this year

After filling my SLR it seems the full-aid offer has been removed and I will have to pay around 70k of tuition due to being considered a non-resident.

I lived in California for two years, studied high school there for two years and graduated last year. I got my CA license and CA residency ID there. I decided to take a gap year and spent most of it back in my home country(I'm a dual citizen). My dad, despite living mostly in our home country, files taxes for CA and works under a CA company online. He has done so for many years. He also has residency there with his name under a house, with a registered CA vehicle, CA resident ID, CA Drivers license. He visits California from time to time.

I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure if I can still qualify for exemptions or even legal residency to cut down the tuition cost. And any actions I could take to maybe qualify as a resident the other three years?

Any thoughts?

IMMM so sick of people gatekeeping all the time. Did yall know you can actully check your admissions chance based off you highschool???!The UC Information Center publishes a tool called Admissions by Source School use that. Reddit won't let me post it.

type in your high school.

see exactly how many kids got into each UC. what GPA they had. going back 30 years.

this is public. free. official UC data.

i found out about this two weeks ago. i'm a junior. Nobody ever mentioned this to me until now. Let me know if yall want me to find more stuff like this. Lowk curious if your guys hs is as cooked as mines.

Hi everyone,
I am a transfer student from OC and I need to make a decision before June 1st, so I want some opinions on which school is the best. My interest is to work at AI/ML and also really into hardware side as well(robotics, embedded systems, related aerospace stuff), and I might potentially plan to go to grad school later.
I got some amazing acceptances, super grateful, but I am still unsure which school to commit. Here is some context:

I’m admitted for CS at both UCI and UCSD, but I have confirmed that I can change my major to Computer Science and Engineering at UCI or Computer Engineering at UCSD if I want to get more into hardware stuff later on.

UCI (Computer Science and Engineering)
Pros:

• basically a full ride.
• super close to home, meaning I save a ton of money and can easily help out my parents.
• CSE is a great major, super flexible I think.

Cons:

• It’s too close to home. I really wanted the experience by moving away for university.

UCSD (Computer Engineering or Computer Science)
Pros:

• moving to San Diego (really beautiful city) would be a great fresh start, but it's still close enough to OC that I can drive back to help my family if they need me.
• the engineering resources and courses here really great. A lot of opportunities for research and the more choices of upper-division courses for CSE.
• more prestige? out of the all my choices for engineering and cs
• also I could double major or minor to cog sci or math if I decided to get more hands-on in ML/AI

Cons:

• Even with tuition covered by aid, dorms and living expenses will cost me about $26k out of pocket (estimated cost). I have some savings and funds for college through my time working during my CC years that could potentially cover for one year of college and can work/take loan later on. I don't want to create a big financial pressure or burden on my parents even though they are fully supportive with my choices and willing to pay for my college.

USC (Computer Science and Engineering)
Pros:

• the alumni network for the SoCal industry is great.
• great campus life and resources.
• also a great major for flexibility

Cons:

• still waiting on my financial aid package, but I think the cost would be super high.

UCLA (Linguistics + Computer Science)
Pros:

• Its UCLA. The prestige and name recognition are incredible.

Cons:

• The major is not align with my interests.

I am really leaning towards UCSD because the program and campus there seems really great for me. But between UCI and UCSD, is the UCSD engineering and the experience of living away from home worth paying more 26k in living costs, especially since I plan to go to grad school later? (I am also qualified for middle class scholarship as well, so that's great)
I really want to ask which school is actually best for my goals and interests. How do the internships, research opportunities, clubs, and engineering teams compare between them?
Overall, if cost was not a factor at all, which school would be the best choice for my major and career interests?
I am open to any opinions and really grateful for any insight you guys have. Thanks!

sd pls 😭😭🙏🙏 la pls 😭😭🙏🙏 i know it’s cooked but this waiting is killing me 🫩

So i got a B my first semester in spanish ik im really bad with languages it's not funny and then def getting a B this semester and have a possible of getting a B in english (english cambridge AS). IDK what to do I plan on trying to get a 4.0 my junior year and locking the hell in to balance my gpa and show an "upwards trend" even though lwk im showing a downwards trend rn...... is there still a possible a decent (not perhaps or rarely)

lwk im thinking bout getting a crap ton of credit enough for a year+ go to a CC then transfer in a year or less but tbh my school is super competitive and my ego is telling me no if u do that then your a suck compared to your school (ik cc is a great option)

there’s gotta be ucsb ucsd or ucd waitlist movement tmrw right?? 💔💔 second to last friday of may please i need this 🙏💛💙

I don't think its too complicated or serious but on the UC application I put that I was taking AP Comparative Government since I genuinely thought I was taking that, but it turned out to be AP United States Government and I hadn't even realized there were two different AP Gov classes until we took the AP test and I got confused at the dates. Idk how seriously UCLA takes this and it would be ideal to not be rescinded but if its relevant I got an A in the class. Do I just leave it be until transcripts are sent or email? Or do I fill out the changes form thing?
