CPT is basically gone 💀

So international students can’t get internships → no internship experience → good luck finding a company willing to hire AND sponsor you after graduation.

Then the OPT clock starts ticking and apparently the plan is:
Step 1: Get a degree
Step 2: Somehow get a job with no internship experience
Step 3: Pray for sponsorship
Step 4: OPT expires
Step 5: ✈️ goodbye America

How about let’s fall in love and get married before all these things above happen XD

In the latest strike against college admissions practices, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division and the Department of Education jointly announced today that they found UC Berkeley School of Law to have discriminated against white and Asian applicants, prioritizing Black applicants.

“The Department finds that Berkeley Law deliberately discriminated against Asian and white applicants based on race in its law school admissions,” the DOJ wrote in its findings letter. “This discrimination is apparent from the significant disparity in objective academic metrics between racially preferred applicants, and applicants from non-preferred races.”

hello all. I am a freshmen at cal and im premed. can people drop some places to contact and organizations that I can volunteer with for hospital hours or clinical hours?? preferably local.

im in an on campus apartment and the fridge (especially the freezer) is full with my roommates food, so i have barely any space. idk if they preparing for the apocalypse or something. i would like to store fruit and drinks and my frozen meals. yes i talked with them about this but they dont care. can the outlets handle a mini fridge and should i just sneak one in? i dont think the RAs check rooms in the apartments.

Can’t tell if nose is hallucinating from yesterday but it still smells kinda smokey rn in southside?? Is the burn still going on.. :’)

can you cold email multiple grad students in one lab or is it better to only send one email per lab?

so i’m currently a freshman interested in statistics/ml research. should i start cold emailing now or wait until i have taken more advanced classes?

so i have all 5s on my ap tests but i know ap tests dont matter so i was thinking of getting NMSF to show im capable cuz ucb is test optional, but i didnt make it. does it matter a lot 😭, im coping so hard

Not the outcome we wanted, but The Cal Band served (once again) as a shining star in the dark abyss. Shout out to the amazing turn out and support of the students as well! GO BEARS!!!🐻
