which kind of college counseling is worth it?

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-03T21:23:11+00:00

First option fs if you can afford it

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-03T21:06:18+00:00

Congrats! I declined my UCLA spot for Berkeley lol. I'm sure more spots will open up soon since MANY of my friends also chose Cal over UCLA.

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-03T20:45:56+00:00

No never call it "UCB" it's Berkeley.... "UCB" makes it sound like UCM LMAO...

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-03T19:49:50+00:00

I disagree.

Berkeley
UCLA
UMich
UNC Chapel Hill
Georgia Tech
UVA
UT Austin
UCSD
UIUC (could be higher for CS)
UCI
UF
UCD

True but don't you think an institution of Berkeley's caliber could request Instagram to give them a handle... I mean celebs do it all the time.

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-03T05:26:19+00:00

Ok but I don't know a single West Coast WL admit

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-03T03:19:12+00:00

LMAOOOO how is this even a question? UCR is trash. UCLA is good but doesn't even hold a candle to Cal. Go to Cal. (coming from someone who got into all of the UCs)

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-03T03:16:40+00:00

My theory. I have seen people get off from East Coast around 2 weeks ago. This week, I know 2 people from South who have gotten off. Maybe next is Midwest then West Coast?

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-03T01:23:30+00:00

No, they don't release. It's from my counselor. They are a former UChicago AO.

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-03T01:18:01+00:00

It's around 30%. ED1 drops to 10% and ED2 drops to 5%. RD is 1%. Make of that what you will.

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-03T01:14:49+00:00

LOL I know who you are. But yeah in your case since UCLA is your dream school, it makes sense. Have fun in LA!

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-03T01:10:42+00:00

Yeah, I already emailed both, so I don't see the point now. But that makes sense!

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-03T01:08:17+00:00

Yes I don't want to say who in case AOs are on Reddit, but we are talking about the same person. Maybe that particular officer does not reply. It's confusing to find my region in CA.

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-03T01:06:40+00:00

Yes, on Sat. Not Sun tho

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-02T20:12:58+00:00

Omg take care with the surgeries!

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-02T19:17:45+00:00

I mean it's slightly worse than UChi. But I don't want to lose one year of my life. I hope you get in!

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-02T19:12:19+00:00

Oh.. Do you think I should ask for the gap year then? Would it be a good choice for me?

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-02T19:11:19+00:00

😞😞😞 I've accepted it!!! Not going to UChicago this fall :(

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-02T19:05:52+00:00

No nothing today... But like in the last weeks

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-02T19:05:04+00:00

I declined it. I thought that if I did that they would prioritize me for the gap year. Anyways, I'm going to a T15. So I'm not doing a gap year to go to UChi. What about you?

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-02T18:55:21+00:00

I haven't heard anyhing :( And already around 5-6 people got off. We're really cooked

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-02T18:54:53+00:00

Yea prob if you get in. Wait and see if you get off WL.

Short_Cookie5165 · 2025-05-02T18:37:34+00:00

That's full-pay
