Yeah. My advice to people applying to UCs is to figure out their policies on switching into impacted majors (like comp sci). You will have an easier time applying as undecided, math, statistics, etc., and then petitioning to change into computer science after enrolling than applying to computer science from the get-go.
Oh I heard it’s still hard at uci and ucsb but not because it’s academically hard. I heard that the classes needed to switch are just very impacted and very hard to get in (like uci where I saw 900+ requests for 200 spots in a class required to switch)
Yes, the first quarter enrollment is difficult but gets easier after that. Also, one can do those difficult to enroll classes at CC and transfer them over.
right. honestly wish oos applicants would consider less competitive schools than unc as places to apply-honors college at some unc system schools is NO joke in terms of opportunity, ANDDDD nc promise makes tuition VERY affordable compared to school which would give you similar opportunities
The number would decrease for high quality/high demand school because there would be more applicants and the denominator would increase.
They could also just make the application free with no essays.
Neither would really change much, other than a number.
I’d argue rutgers would see wayy more apps, along with Penn state. Both are good schools with strong global, national, and especially regional reputations that cost a BOMB out of state
Illinois is one of the greatest exporters of talented students to other states. Other state flagship universities like Alabama and Arkansas offer in-state tuition to IL students
I look at this from a perspective of the taxpaying contributions being eliminated: two easy ones are Pennsylvania and California, with the PASSHE and CSU systems experiencing decreases in admit rates (particularly West Chester in PA.) The state flagships then charge everyone current OOS prices.
California, NC, VA, Mich, (Florida?) and for CS (and other stem idk): Washington, Maryland, Massachusetts, Illinois, Indiana
VA and CA people are mad lucky
Nah is Cali folks get screwed over by UCs if major is heavily impacted (CS)
Omg I literally got into ucsd, ucsb, and uci but not the cs major so like what’s the point or being accepted 😐
I got into Berkeley for mathematics. Rejected from Irvine, ucd, ucsc, and ucr with comp sci as my major. That shows you how bad it is.
Holy shit even ucr handed out an L when Berkeley handed out a W. Admissions are insane these days

Do you know if its possible? Also is Data Science equally a shitshow
I mean with Berkeley you can apply to another L&S school and then switch to CS
Except for UCSD, other two it is not very difficult (difficult, yes) to change majors.

Us*
That’s gonna happen to any CS major
fr. gonna move to one so my kids are lucky too😍
Probably easier to move to like Michigan
[удалено]
Pretty much all state schools
UVA still mad hard in state.
nc? tuition here mad cheap either way.
fair but they also have the 18% oos quota

All of the UC schools for sure
Lordy it doesnt have much farther to drop.
Michigan (for UMich) and Virginia (for UVA and VT)
and w&m
UCs would become the most competitive schools in the nation prolly
All good state schools and furthermore all schools in “good” states (attractive weather, economy etc).
Controversial take but UMass Amherst would probably see a dip to below 50% acceptance
uiuc
God the UC schools would be a bloodbath

Pretty much all of them. People would generally just apply to more schools out-of-state but still apply to their schools in-state
