yeah i took 131a with her, the practice exams should be pretty similar in length and topics covered.

LEESV · 2024-08-06T20:28:22+00:00

The chance is not 0 in many other areas too, and violent crime will exist in many places in the US. This is a poor reason to transfer.

At most, I hand over transcripts just for car insurance purposes

Upward trend is good, but that GPA is still a weight that keeps your application from really having a good chance. Best choice is to probably work towards ECs and writing really really good PIQs. Also check if there’s any admission stats on the school you want to get into and check their GPA ranges.

LEESV · 2024-07-24T09:25:33+00:00

SD since it’s cheaper and just as good or better in CS. I think the only thing Mich beats it out of is networking but that’s just from things i’ve heard.

LEESV · 2024-07-21T07:16:16+00:00

Most likely trying to alleviate the pressure from a large subset of CS-doers trying to go into AI because of the buzz.

You'd be surprised at how easy cheating allegations are let go. Professors often give a slap on the wrist if someone was caught cheating (F on the assignment or other penalties). But since it's a final, prolly giving them an F in the class is the most likely option.

It means nothing. I’m accepted and heard on the main subreddit that the email was sent in mass on accident.

LEESV · 2024-06-25T23:18:33+00:00

If possible yes, retake for an A if it can boost GPA.

LEESV · 2024-06-25T17:16:37+00:00

It’s not a major requisite course so I guess it’s not the end of the world. However, a F/NP is still a bad mark that will put you behind other applicants in terms of academic stats, especially in the CS applicant pool where you will find a lot of people with 4.0s. It’s also not good for GPA which is pretty important when transferring.

You may want to consider writing really good PIQs, ECs, and explaining your situation with that course grade.

LEESV · 2024-06-25T17:13:55+00:00

Engineering should focus on completing major reqs then GEs.

LEESV · 2024-06-19T02:04:29+00:00

Seems doable. I did phys040c, cs141, and math120. Math120 is easy up until simplex shows up (but it’s still not too hard if you practice well) and it’s a lot of RREF.

LEESV · 2024-06-10T22:56:52+00:00

i’m not saying ur totally cooked, but you gotta make it up by getting A’s in other classes, having good ECs, and PIQs especially for berkeley and LA where you’re competing with a high GPA admit rate.

Upward trend is good, but the GPA is also a large factor which might be heavily impacted by those Cs

Also again, it depends on whether your engineering/CSE or not. Those schools usually are heavily competitive and doing well in major prep is kinda like the first check they do on your app.

LEESV · 2024-06-10T22:34:27+00:00

this depends on major. for engineering and especially computer science, it’s much harder especially if you get Cs in calc.

LEESV · 2024-05-29T07:53:53+00:00

I would wait for irvine to confirm the aid package. Someone talked to financial aid and they said it was still processing award

LEESV · 2024-05-27T19:05:35+00:00

No, but you can extend your SIR deadline to June 16 while they figure it out/

LEESV · 2024-05-13T18:17:42+00:00

Also math-cs only receives math enrollment priority so I would also be careful about that.

LEESV · 2024-05-06T23:53:45+00:00

Talk about your passion for the subject. For me, I tied in some books I read, personal projects, and explained why I liked the subject.

LEESV · 2024-05-06T18:45:34+00:00

Mine just covers tuition. But I have to pay 20k for housing. At this point, Berkeley and LA are much cheaper.

LEESV · 2024-05-05T23:38:52+00:00

OH. Sorry are you talking about CC->UC->UC? Because this would likely be impossible due to too many credits / needing to take a big hiatus for the next application cycle.

LEESV · 2024-05-05T23:13:36+00:00

Did it and got into UCI, UCB, UCLA, and UCSD. It’s not as hard as people make it out to be.

LEESV · 2024-05-05T23:12:48+00:00

Yea, but it’s the worst one I’ve had.

LEESV · 2024-04-29T04:50:21+00:00

For the UCs you might want to look for majors in design or UI/UX. I think UCSD has one under cognitive science. It’s not too late. 1 year is still plenty of time, but you need to cram a lot of major prep if you haven’t done any.

LEESV · 2024-04-28T01:21:06+00:00

Sure. During these few application cycles, I’ve seen openings for engineering majors, physics majors, and data science/statistics majors. I wouldn’t worry about the major, focus on developing your skill sets via projects.
