@holdmypencil123 did your parents pay the application fee? Thanks.
@jenny001 the payment was due yesterday, so yes it probably means your application is incomplete. you can try paying today and see if it still works, but it might still be considered late.
Finished at 11.55pmā¦ parents got the email and completed a couple weeks back.
What is the probability for NLP/ ML cluster in UCSC?
Freshman
GPA 4+ Advanced math & solid CS
Math - completed algebra 2, graph theory, precalculus, geometry 3, trig,
CS - 3yrs python and in Data Structures & Algorithm class (this is advanced class with 11th grade).
EC included intensive CTY on game theory/ probability and Mathpath camp. Both are competitive and required entrance and qualifying test etc. Also did NACLO and a bunch of math competitions.
Female - donāt think gender counts as diversity etcā¦
Those are some great stats. I am a freshman applying to the same cluster as well by the way. Your chances seem pretty good, but the personal statement and cluster essay is pretty important as well.
I worked on my essays and am a decent writer but didnāt exactly spend hours on it. Let us see. Also applying to some math programs - Ross, Canada-USA mathcamp, Promys, HCSSiM. Let us seeā¦ this year I am not eligible for any of the NASA internships or research stuff or SuMAC due to age limitā¦ so hoping one of these works out
@Lolo2022 it seems like you have a good chance, but unfortunately they donāt admit many freshman. good luck though! (also i heard that being a girl counts as ādiversityā in non-bio clusters)
@Lolo2022 I think they do admit freshman, just not very many. Looks like you have a pretty good chance, but if you donāt get admitted, it will probably be because youāre a freshman.
What are my chances of getting into Cluster 9: Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing at UCSC as a freshman with these stats?
GPA: 4.0 UW / 4.0 W ( Barely any freshman take APs in freshman year at my high school )
Honors Classes: Global Studies and Algebra II ( Hon. Algebra II is 2 years ahead of the standard )
Extra Curricular Activities Mentioned in Application: Math Olympiad/Math Counts and Independent/Guided Research on Various Areas of Computing
I would give my cluster essay a 9/10 and my personal statement a 7.5/10.
I go to a competitive high school in the bay area.
Thank you so much in advance to anyone who answers! 
@holdmypencil123 your stats and application sound good, but only 10% of the students admitted are freshmen. your essays have to be really strong.
anyone here apply for ucsd cluster 7? cluster 2?
@catras Thanks! The cluster I am applying to is very competitive apparently, so weāll just have to wait and see. :-SS
Iām applying to UCI COSMOS for cluster 6 and 2.
My stats are:
-Martial arts instructor in taekwondo ~1 year
-Volunteer tutoring at local middle school in science and math
-Biomedical Eng Club and Neuroscience Club
-CSF volunteering
-AP Calc AB, AP World
-UW GPA: 4.0, W: 4.4
With these stats, will I make it in? I really want to go to COSMOS but feel like my essays were too boring compared to some Iāve seen here. 
Btw Iām a sophomore currently
@didibear21 Your grades and extracurricular sound great! And an essay can still show passion, despite being boring.
does anyone elseās transcript status still say ānot recievedā ?
@catras Mine has been received.
Mine hasnāt been received either.
@castras mine has but Iām pretty sure they said that it might be a few weeks before the status changes
Does anyoneās transcript status still say āPending Transcriptā?
Transcripts take time to process. Yāall need to chill out B-)
Has anyone here gone to UCD? I put Cluster 10 as first choice and was wondering how competitive it is to get in; Iāve heard UCD is one of the more selective campuses but depends on the cluster.
I have a 3.96 UW, 4.4 W GPA; I have 3 honors/AP STEM classes this year and am doing 2 sports plus robotics, and I think my short answer questions/personal statement were decent, although itās hard to say since I was the one who wrote them. If anyone has gone to this cluster/knows about it would be awesome if you could message me thanks!
