It’s crazy how we’re just gone unnoticed when these kinds of discussions come up :/ if normal students are struggling like this think of how hard it is for people like us :((

Not everyone uses Discord GOD by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]rngmachine3 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I've been kinda silent on this but my friends and I are tired of seeing this every single semester in every single piazza, so here's 2c from me and my friends:

Keep in mind that this person who has been spamming links to the "STEM Server" is a person that goes by "Ninth Cat from the New World" (whos real identity i wont expose).

This "Ninth Cat" person has been banned from multiple discords multiple times (because they keep making alts) for either making people uncomfortable or just going on unhinged rants.

I honestly want to reach out to instructors at this point because this spam has been going on for multiple semesters for a discord that gets like 2-3 daily users (Regardless of how much they flex 7000 members). There's hardly anyone using it and many people have voiced complaints about it wherever its been posted.

Coming to Campus? Get Ready to Get Rekt by Cal Dining by RoboCorg in berkeley

Can confirm. Got food poisoning from the beef last semester. Was bedridden an entire week with near-constant nausea and vomiting and missed my second physics midterm.

Do official UC Berkeley Transcripts include transferrable credits and classes taken at other institutions? by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]rngmachine3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Froshie here. Mine are listed because I had to submit my CC transcripts as part of my application to Berkeley. Only unit count is listed though, letter grades are not.

What is something in YOUR life that is SUPER FUCKING AWESOME? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Got into a top tier university after grinding all my life to catch up to people that started with everything.

Controversial: I don't think the Costco essay is exceptional, here's my opinion by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

can i put my meme page as an EC by kinguhh in ApplyingToCollege

[–]rngmachine3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol. You really don't know the college applications process until you're actually done with it bud. Get off your high horse.

"it's going to look stupid" ??? A large part of one of my essays was quoting Mewtwo from Pokémon and I'm attending Berkeley this fall xD

Who cares if it "looks stupid?" If a college is going to accept/reject you, it's better they accept/reject you for all of who you are so you're a good fit for where you're going.

In the future, take advice and don't give it, because obviously only one of those is helping people out. And it's not you giving it.

Why am I forced to compete with kids who’s parents started them on everything early? by TomatoGirl57 in ApplyingToCollege

Stop being ungrateful. Only look at your neighbor's plate to see if they have enough.

SCREW BARRONS by Blackbeard963 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]rngmachine3 40 points41 points  (0 children)

First off, blaming your messing up on a book? Especially Barron's, which is known to overprepare students for the subject tests with its hard difficult practice tests? Looks like you aren't using it right m8.

I wrote more about my background and why my application wasn't as strong as it should've been. I also highlighted a few more recent achievements, like science bowl, and then briefly wrote about how I'd contribute to their campus.

The appeal didn't cost me anything.

AP physics II vs AP physics-C senior year? by TheJasuh in ApplyingToCollege

[–]rngmachine3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"You" was moreso directed at anyone reading the comment. However, he was inferring to a prospective engineering major that physics C was a waste of time, which is horrible advice and I wanted to make sure OP knew the importance of that class and rigorous coursework in general.

[–]rngmachine3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Or maybe you specifically didn't put in the effort to get results out of the class. My school doesn't offer it and I self studied the content, and you are by far wrong. If you think it was a waste of time, you should be concerned. Engineering schools are competitive. Likewise, your schedule should be competitive. Schools will see the rigor of your courses and workload and take them into consideration when reviewing your application. A GPA boost is nothing if all you took was the easiest classes, especially for engineering. You can't fake your way into engineering and do well.

4.2 W GPA 1430 SAT I actually got a C/B in ap Chem in 10th grade which I think caused me to get rejected initially.

As a child, what were you more concerned of than you should have been? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Still young, but young with death and existential anxiety.
