#UC Berkeley (UCB) (2023-2024)
1 messages · Page 5 of 1
is that lin alg or something else
Differential equations and linear algebra combined
now tht i hear cc it doesnt seem easy as i expected 😭
I was going to take linear algebra this spring since it is a requirement for data science transfer. But I just learn they don’t review alternate major(which is data science for me), so I just switch to Calculus 3
You can get in UCB as a freshmen, I trust you bro
You don’t even need CC
Why bother it

i heavily regret not just applying for an easier major to get into these prestigious school like ucla or berkeley
Me too
Bro picked eecs last fall lmao
The other guy is my school who has less GOA than me got in as applied math
Damn I wish I applied applied math
So this time I am not aiming for CS for transfer
if only we were born earlier before berk added high demand majors
only reason i applied EECS directly
The pool last year was crazy. I know my friend who got in EECS(the only one in our school), was also accepted to MIT
True
he went to MIT im assuming
Yep
yeah i'd go mit anyday
berk cs rn is so fucked
cause its so overcrowded
from the backdoorers
i wish. my dad, who went to berk, says to go to trade school lol
obv meant it as a joke but lol
It’s hard to back door now here
Or much harder than b4
Idk how hard it will be
When is the high demand major policy added
CC is all just self study tbh the lectures are meh
2022 or 2023?
Fa 23
I see
Before that I remember you just need 3.5 GPA in 61ABC to backdoor
I mean it is not that hard
I wish I was born earlier lol
They don’t let people take 61c anymore unless ur declared EECs or cs
They do even now, just take it in summer
That is my plan
And declare CS minor
They require 61ABC and CS70 to declare minor, I will complete 61B and 70 when I enroll(if I got admitted), the. I just need to take 61A and C
u cant get CS no matter what now
Yeah I just need the class tho
unless they change the policy soon which isnt likely since they dont get funding
Applied math major can still find job in the tech field
I just want to take CS classes
well any stem major can get u into tech
Yeah
So I just want to take all the necessary CS class for me to find a job or get a MSCS
LET ME IN BERKELEY
LET ME IN BERKELEY
LET ME IN BERKELEY even though my major has a 1.6% acceptance rate and I fked up my interview 
LET ME IN BERKELEY i desperately need your cogsci double major
LET ME IN BERKELEY your history department is actually cracked 
LET ME IN BERKELEY you're so close to my home and my mom needs you for bragging rights 🥹
i feel this 
LET ME IN BERKELEY i really need an ivy+ safety acceptance 💔 
?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!
safety acceptance at berkeley 💀
a2c never fails to surprise me
safety is crazy
bro id be so happy to get into berkeley
IM DYING😂😂😂
berkeley for in state and some unpopular major is honestly not a reach tho
@jolly python do yk why the acceptance rate for applied math at berk is so high in-state? is the yield not good?
a lotta ppl don't wanna do an unpopular major tho
true but you can apply to L&S and transfer to another major
if you have the stats and whatnot
i mean i think thats kinda scummy but whatever
Self selection+it seems to be cheaper to teach math students
Not the case for EECS lmao
Yeah that’s the only one
there’s also like 10+ high demand majors that are difficult to transfer into
ah so they can accept more students for applied math? is it cheaper to teach stats too?
I mean it's certainly possible
https://www.reddit.com/r/berkeley/comments/18r31xr/if_i_got_a_video_essay_opportunity_for_met_how/
saw this reddit post , i hope what people are saying is true lol
When does M.E.T send out acceptance letters, saw somewhere that last year they send out during regular decision
That person is saying decisions come out in March but if you look on the met Reddit everyone discussed decisions on February 9th last year
No anecdotal indication of it coming out in March
You only get a decision if you got into MET or regents + engineering major. Possibly if you just got in regular engineering major as well but the only person I know who did also got regents so not sure if it was for one or the other reason
Well is it Februrary for Engineering students
just MET i think
could someone send the acceptance rates by major for berkeley engineering
yeah this would be nice. i think students there have a way to pull that up
thanks
MET?
Do you hv smth like this for MET
or LS^
why is the engineering undeclared acceptance rate so low
Met is like 1%
Damn where did you get 7500, in their webinar they said 5000
oh i thought it was 6000 2 years ago
that's what michael grimes said

eC Learning Channel----...
go to 3:45
he said it's 50/6000
adjust for yield and you're at around 60/6000
project for 2 years of growth not surprising if it's around 7000
one says near 6000
another says over 5000
maybe the program just hasn't grown lol
could just be high 5000's
60/5500 isnt that bad
if they cut down 90% before interviews that gets you to a 10% acceptance rate after interviews
do you have smth like this for GMP?
the berkeley haas website says "For the 2023-2024 academic year, we had 2,966 students apply and we offered admission to 50."
what happened to the rates after 2020-21, it literally got cut in half
looking at that i had to put a really safe alternate major
aerospace is goona be tough
i hope its some weird shit with this data
but theres no way that major is just as competitive as eecs
its prob just cuz the aerospace major was new
majors typically grow in capacity as the years progress
so they prob couldnt take many students
no it is ..
i checked with some of my friends at berkeley,
is data science hella competitive at Berkeley, or does anyone have the exact data
yeah it’s p competitive
i think it’s somewhere between 8-10% admit rate
usually ppl who are worried abt how competitive cs is tend to apply data sci instead
is MSE going up bc from capacity or just fluctuations in popularity
does anyone iknow ?
was asking about #1135713116425035837 message
218/2152
nope deferred
😦
i shouldve done mech e
wtv
it makes no sense that ae is so low like its like just me but more niche
yeeeeeeeeeeee
mech e has gotta be more competitive cmon bruh
so like close to 10%
self selection probably
also uc acceptance rates are probably artificially deflated because they have a single app
compared to like ivies on the common app where you have supplementals which bar most people from applying to multiple/all of them
wym
berkeley eecs has a reputation
but ucla doesnt have same type of reputation
i mean ucla cs isnt that great
yeah i posted in the ucla megathread check it out there
Are there any people who have taken/are planning to take a gap year here? Trying to meet some people
if u get a met interview are u basically accepted into engineering?
damn redditors were capping ig
Nobody actually knows, it could be true it could be false
Technically it’s leaning more toward the true side bc of the anecdotal evidence we have from Reddit but it’s not clear
👀
is there an estimate for when decisions come out?
by march 28
yall how good the parties at berk?
theyre lit
u havnt even been accepted
have met decisions come out
no?
blud
If u get rejected from met do they still send u the decision on feb 9 or just ignore and reply on March 30
As per the website, not all MET acceptances come in feb, it's possilbe that you don't hear in feb but still get in in march.
Q: When will I hear back from UC Berkeley about the admissions decision?
A: Applicants who are admitted to the M.E.T. program will be notified in either February or March of the following year.
Omg why are u guys overfixating on met..
For me it’s met>ucla>berk>uci>ucsd
so if I don’t get into met I’ll go to ucla and if I don’t get into ucla then berk and so on
since ucla has a more positive social life balance and berk is depressing asf
they send the video to like 200 and pick like 60 out of the 200 while factoring in yield rates so isn’t that like a 30% acceptance rate?
Um
waaat-😂
hey all
does berk consider u for 2nd choice major or not rlly
like if i didnt get into my first one would they consider me and potentially accept my 2nd one?
It depends on ur first choice major. For some first choice major choices, if u don’t get in for that, then u aren’t considered for anything else
astrophysics is my 1st
do you know if i could be considered for an alternative if i didnt get into that
i put political science as my #2 i believe?
sorry this is oddly specific LOL its ok if you dont
yeah they’ll consider alternate choice major for appeals & the waitlist process
great thanks!
lmao
is that even true
i think they send it to a lot more than 200
ive seen so many ppl getting the interview
this is a bad way to sum it up
is there any estimate on how many get interview
i know its not all but idk if its most or very selective
we dont know nor do they confirm. based on some responses, there is likely a chance they sent it out to more than 200
why should they confirm tho
not just that its like
the whole process is very very vague and they delete anything that remotely answers some questions
like on the official met reddit
and additionally there isnt hard data that is known to public where we can draw out conclusions like these so just wait
ye
ive also seen ppl say that getting met interview = getting accepted into 2nd major but that sounds like bullshit
and i mean also if u are truly curious u can go down to find it lol
ahh ive tried to find data on interviews but theres nothing
nothing confirmed just many different people saying different things
decisions are like feb 8th or 9th right
at least it was for last year
9th from patterns
hmm ok
wait ucb really doesnt conisder secondary majors
cuz my senior classmate last year got accepted aero which was his second choice major
did he apply to met as an aero + business major or smth
first choice mech eng
oh huh thats weird, he was accepted on the normal decision date? not off the waitlist?
im not sure abt if it was decision date or off waitlist
tho
all ik was that he was not interested in berk that much
he was deadset on ucla
ohh yeah it was prob off the waitlist
oop😂
200-300
Is early notif only for coe and l&s
idk i got one and ik a lot of ppl that did but might be skewed cause the ppl i talked to are all highly qualified bay area sweats
everyone ik that applied got one
so maybe they changed it this year or my sample is just very skewed
when does met come out?
based on previous years, feb 8th or 9th if you get into met
oh ok cool
are they going to send out early acceptances this week?
prob
Did any of yall get a uc berkeley entry level writing requirement email?
yea i just got that
why did bro just say gm
meant to type gmail to see my gmail and tabbed out
lmao
man that email scared the shit out of me for a sec
Did everyone get that?
i didnt
looks like it
what does the email say?
nvm i just got it
oh wait jk i got it too
" Please note this is not an offer of admission and does not have any implications on an admission decision. "
gave me hope for a sec 😭
yeah i think everyone got it
regents and special programs usually like met
basically just a top applicant based on holistic review
Do you know what time decisions are coming out? for early
Aaa
Look it up I think there’s a list of 4 things in the UC webpage
Then why do they wait till end of march
if they already review everyone for regents
at least at berkeley and i think ucla
Last yr it was 2/9 at 7pm pst I think?
wait how do you get early result ?
I think they're for ppl that got into MET + possi le regent/chancellors scholarship recipient
Possible*
So basically the rlly top notch applicants
i got that too
700 on paper SAT and 3 on AP seminar
still tryna figure out where to submit score lowk
tell me when u know plss
its prolly portal but i havent checked 💀
will do :>
And also ppl who just happen to be accepted early
Doesn’t have to be MET / regents / chancellors
wait like they just notify you early without getting into a specific program/regents/other scholarship?
Yah
wait so if we fulfill the requirements and we submitted (ex. sat/ap score) do we just not do anything abt the email 😭
ggs
What is point of email?
will early berkeley acceptances come out this week for non met/cs majors?
i believe so
what percentage of admits get their notifs this week?
is this real-
if you applied met and dont get a reply in feb that means u didnt get in met or
yeah
dang ig if we get nothing then no met lmao
well i mean you could still get in for the engineering program you chose
only reason i want berk is met if not met then bye bye berk
ah
are you oos?
yeaa
ah makes sense
i heard its depressing tbh ucla> at this point i want a place with thriving social lives not a depressing shithole
at least thats what i heard
ohh yeah ive heard ppl say opposing things abt berk so ig its individual experiences
i mean she parties more than does school lol so mayb thats part of it
yeaa tbh i shouldnt base it on people's judgements
oh lmao
What ation items do we do from it
i dont think we do anything yet, i think they meant to tell us in advance so when they admit people its not a surprise
More information, with more details, regarding the Entry Level Writing Requirement will be sent to all admitted students once admission decisions are released.
Yep! I received this too! Eventhough I have passed the requirement, let's see
can you submit ACT to berk?? i thought it was test free? or do they mean if you are accepted you will have to submit the scores for the writing thing if you qualify
they don't use scores for admission but they use it for entry level requirements
they don't take digital sat right?
damn my digital is 100 points higher than my paper one
they only care about the english part tho
might be thursday 👀
but most likely friday
its too pretty much draw them into their school, its like ivies sending likely letters
ok so fat chance I hear back this friday
giving more thought as to why they are a good fit for their school and why they should attend. also if u get regents, i think there is more reason to attend that school at least in my opinion
id be sooooo fucking elated to get early notif but its not even realm of possibility LMAO
wait they're sending emails to admitted people this week?
like a few of the admitted people?
mhm
so if don't get email this friday im fucked for met 💀
yea
met is insanely hard to get into tho
so like not that surprising
expect to be rejected
i got the video thing so 🙏 but ig a lot of ppl got that this year it seems
yea
i havent heard of anyone not getting it tho 💀
ppl online in prev years made it sound hard to get but lowkey i haven't heard of someone not getting it
maybe this year they just gave it to everyone
yea
i have 0 hopes for met lol
im just hoping i get the regents email for eecs
hopeuflly my in state helps 💀
met is like 70% in state
you got deferred stanford right 😭 you're def cracked
do they send GMP this week as well?
When is this due
no idea, but i think that's for after u get admitted
was this sent to instate and oos or just intl
i got it and im instate
alr ya me too i just wanted to be sure
i got it I'm... international + US citizen (?)
Same
Not true I know a few people who didn’t, also there’s people in this chat who didn’t as well
But can’t really speak on how many did vs didn’t
ya also saw on reddit forms
im in bay area and i know like one person who didnt get interview
but yea seems liek a lot of ppl got interview here
Yes scared me cuz i thought it was a portal thing for a second LMAO
when ur accepted
if you dont have AP score or SAT you take berkely writing exam or whatever its called
bro what if i emailed my AO thanking them for an early acceptance
what 
i think theyd be very much confused 💀
Dear Berkeley Admissions Office
I was overjoyed to receive your email about the Entry Level Writing Requirement. Although you mentioned explicitly that it wasn't an offer of admission, I am clever enough to read between the lines and derive the true implicit meaning. After all, why would you email students who aren't going to be admitted about admission requirements?
It is this critical analysis skill that I am excited to bring to Berkeley. I would like to formally thank you for your secret admission offer. Berkeley distinguishes itself from the other campuses part of the UC group of schools by making their students go above and beyond to be admitted, and I am honored to be a part of this elite group of students.
Now that I have deciphered the clue, please make the necessary change in my portal so I can submit my enrollment deposit. I look forward to officially starting as a freshman in the fall. Go Cal Bears!!!
Kind regards,
Your worst nightmare
BAHHAHAHHHHA
wow hahahha
Do cs majors receive an early letter?
yeah
- does MET receive an early letter
Whats this then tho
Is it this week?
based on prev years yeah, prob feb 8th or 9th
wait wdym
Oh I thought cs majors/met didnt get them
oh nah they do, i remember someone from my school last year got into berk cs early w regents
and then theres def early met acceptances
i love this
LOL
wait so whats happening friday??
is it only for instate or everyone?
wait so if im bio major im not recieving anything early right
everyone but there will be more in state applicants who get a decision early
you could if you are invited to interview for regents or smth
r the early ones only for ppl who got regents?
nahh not everyone 8 at my school applied to met berk just one got it (me hehe)
Also think it depended on major
We all applied ieor or civil
they prob just gave out more video interviews this year to decide between applicants
but not everyone got one
everyone who I have seen who applied for EECS got it
wait so this year they sent it to more than 200-300?
frfr ongomng
LET ME IN
Wait so if a decision comes out for regents its just an interviwe invite?
Not the official notification of acceptance for the scholarship?
oh ig just very bias sample since was talking to mainly bay area sweats + prob just increased the amount who get it slightly
if they release decision this week doesnt that mean they already read thru everyones application
I assume so
This Friday is probably only for people they know for certain are good candidates
i doubt there will be many oos students
dammit only the sciences po dual degree releasing early 😭😭
anyone else apply to hku-berkeley
actually where did you get that screenshot? :o is it an official berkeley thing
dude im so nervous for met
i keep checking the portal and my email every 30 minutes waiting for something 😭
😭 idt think decisions will be released till thurs or fri
yea probably thursday
yeahh - but the source of the second quote (berkeley 2023 annual admissions report) directly says sciences po and doesnt mention hku 😰
whereas this website is just a blog extrapolating things it seems 😭
still, "special programs" is pretty vague so maybe theres a chance :')
its corroborated by info on the hku-berkeley page that says decisions will be released in march
thank you though!!!
good luck with met
Oh yea I was talking abt the Middle East I’m assuming more Bay Area kids got an invite tho because of them being more intelligent
Wait so is it possible to get a early acceptance as a biochem major
No
That’s what they’re saying
did you have to apply for the regents and chancellors??
no
ok thanks
Oh okay, sounds good. Thank you!!
why not just release all the decisions then 💀
maybe its like everyone they were 100% sure of on the first read through? @_@
yeah they prob just did one reading so far
i’m p sure admissions readers choose between “strongly recommend” “recommend” etc so likely if an applicant got strongly recommend, their app would be considered for regents

How do we know if we got accepted early? Does it show as a status update on your application portal?
They email you
dont they email everyone tho
i saw online that ppl got an email saying "your application is under review"
Do they accept intls early?
that means u didnt get accepted early
if you get in early you get a diff email saying theres a status update
does everyone get that or just met applicants
the email saying your application is still under review is given to everyone who didn’t get early
not just met applicants
oh okay thanks
true
So u can get either regents or status update if u didn’t apply to a special program like met
Potentially tmr or the day after
yup
wdym?
Like if you get into a program and get regents
did any1 get it yet
if you get that email that means u either got into one of the special programs or are considered for regents
I believe with regents u don’t get a status update
u do
i’m p sure you do cuz if you get offered regents interview that means you’re accepted
so the status update is the official admission letter
Ya that makes more sense
Sorry
does GMP hear back early like MET?
yea
Does the regents invite come with a decision letter?
Seems like you guys are getting early decisions tomorrow
?!
Over the past few years, early acceptances went out on
2/7/20 2nd Fri
2/11/21 2nd Thurs
2/10/22 2nd Thurs
2/9/23 2nd Thurs
can u send link to post
shit
we sorta knew this but the confirmation is scary
Dear XXX,
We realize you've been anxiously awaiting your decision from UC Berkeley and want to let you know that your application is currently under review.
While you may have heard that a few applicants received notification of their decision, we are still reviewing the majority of freshman applications.
First-Year decisions will be released approximately late afternoon / early evening (Pacific time) on March 30, 2023, via the MAP@Berkeley portal
this was last year's message
u got that and then were accepted?
so it's released concurrently w/ the wave of early notifications?
a day later if i'm not wrong
u got deferred stanford right
yuh
ur chilling then
Is MET out
what's that lol
not american sorry
praying for ucb tho
one of my friends got deferred then bagged hypm
it's a very good sign
ur gonna get smt good
i hope bruh 🙏
ty for the vote of confidence
best of luck to u too
does anyone know what % of berk admits are the early ones
like how rare is it
something like 1000 or 1200 admitted early
ug class size is 32k
8k
so like 12-15% ish
if i applied to a "special program" and do not hear back tmr, does that mean there's no hope? 
yea
ye
do you know if they email first
Oh shit
oh boy
is there a specifci time drop
r u talking about the program or getting accepted in general
like for met u still have a chance rd
even if u dont hear back tmr
im pretty sure
wait do u all know what time tmr early comes out
do you guys know what time early acceptance usually comes out
i wanna be in the know for my friend whose dream school is berkeley
GOOD LUCK ALL 🫡
heard its in the afternoon 3 30 ish
SHIT LOL
idk if imma get it but i dont think im that cracked compared to people on here
SAME
thoguht so too
but
viewing this makes thurs make more sense
yea
imma definetely notify my friends about it tmr lol
so to be clear
you need to check portal urself right
?
They email you
oik cool
wait how many people get in early acceptance ?
ah is it usually like the top students academically that they admit or is it certain programs?
oh so is it only acceptances that get sent out?
these sound like dumb questions my b
makes sense, doubt i’m either so ill have to wait
should i ed cornell?
bros asking in the berkeley chat
Yay
what did you apply to? hey also did you end up getting into usc ea?
Unfortunately did not get in usc ea. but for berk data sci
ahh unfortunate, we’ll get in regular don’t worry, i applied subp for berk
Ah good luck. Hope we get in tmr or in rd day!
prob not tmr but you too! we got this
Me three
i thought it was likely letter tomorrow
none of yall are getting it tomorrow
no portal astrology
when does that email come? has it already come?
probs friday
WTF ITS TOMORROW???
thursday: people accepted to special programs + scholarships get an email
friday: people not accepted early get an email saying their app is still under review
at least that's what happened last year
ohhhhhh okay
so if nothing tomorrow im not accepted early
got it
so if you dont get in tomorrow its basically a deferral
nah it's basically you're not good enough for scholarships (sry to put it this way) but they're still considering you
im taking it as a deferral lmao
HAHHAAH at least no one gets rejected 
i think someone said 3;30
bruh that's 7:30am for me it's gonna ruin my whole Chinese New Year
EST right?
uc berk is in cali so prob pst im not sure tbh
its 2 am for me 💀
nvm its 5 am
7 am for me
who ready for another disappointment 🗣️‼️‼️
see it after?
also if u just dont get an email just move on
nah im getting in trust
WE getting in
who knows no one knows the exact date of when early comes out
if i got in to usc with like 7% ar, i can get regents at berk with 12% ar
are u in China?
same here. manifesting 😂
nah its not 12% admit rate its like 1-2% 💀
I applied general engineering pleeeeeease lemme in
taiwan
its like 1 percent right and they only accept 2000 out of like 100,000
econ major here. plssss
yup anywhere between like 1.2-2k out of 120k+ applicants
lol ucb regents is pretty weird
Goddamn
idk how they pick ppl for it
i dont think im getting in not much hope cuz my academics lacks in context of my school
what are like the avg stats for ucb early admits?
typically valedictorians of ur school
oh welp adios then
berk is the most holistic uc tho
RIP
rip
"The scholarship is extended to a select cohort of Berkeley undergraduates who stand out for their creativity, leadership, service, and strong convictions. Candidates reflect one of the highest principles of this institution: commitment to excellence."
for regents im not sure. my schools last year valedictorian got berkeley chancelor regent scholar and seed scholar
Why they cappin
goddamn bro idk if anyone in my school ever even got accepted to ucb

ohh i saw a tiktok abt a guy w 3.7 uw mid ap scores getting regents
bruh tf
oh really theres hope
manifesting lol
we have like 7-8 ucb each year, but never an early admit
ik so many insanely cracked hypsm admits that werent a part of the early group (they eventually got in in march) but some ppl that honestly shouldnt have even gotten into ucb got the early notification
lmao I have a 3.85 with 14 APs but I’m OOS
so idk lol
bruh but getting chosen for regents is hella difficult u have to first get chosen through the ao and then get chosen by the financial aid and then picked off from a list
like ugh
hopefully being a Chess NM with USACO gold helps somehow 
I think so
no info on that but maybe
wait seriously 💀
didnt someone say 1k-1.2k people get scholarship invite
probably yeh
and total ug class size is 8k
ucs better not play it like a bitch like how they did back in covid year
what did they do
accepted more oos
cuz of some government funcding issue
YES PLEASE 
pls be a bitch again
it's like 1-2k out of idk 100000+ applicants?
so 1-2%
if this only for people who need financial aid?
ohhhhhh applicants
no
shit im dumb
ah alright chillin then
im oos but instate
ucs are holistic they look at it by context. like to check grade inflation they take the average ap scores to compare ur grades or soemthing like that
I am intl. so it's much more difficult right?
yup
Yeah

same ^
sad fist bump
idk i feel like i might get it
just dont sweat it. who knows honestly
Alright ima call it a day, gl to everyone
ucb tmr pls, I will decline usc 😂
v cool stats, lots of course rigor, i filled up the 20 ecs list LOL (if i dont get it its because i was too much of a tryhard), great essays
GL!
i trust u girl
😟 give me your financial aid package
like uci has a weird percentage when accepting oos. maybe data is off but oh well
im fr if i dont get accepted its because i filled up my ec list with shit like art and chess (that i do for fun) 
i also filled my ec list with random stuff
I didn't apply for aid, but I don't think I'm going cuz it's too expensive
u can... apply for aid? how?
I mean for usc
same 
imagine not applying for aid at usc bro
bro is loaded
yeh hahahaha
wrote that i edit gaming clips and stuff like that im very unoriginal but honestly by far fav thing
wait lemme find my ec list
shoot i shoulda put my creative thing in the activities list too, i just talked abt it in a piq
anybody else get a request for letters of rec here

Omg smrithi that’s an awesome ec list
daaamn are you considered in state for UCs?
no 
well for tuition purposes yes
for admission purposes no
its complicated
no oos
guys so its coming out on the 8th not 9th right since its thursday today?
also for berkelet met just to confirm 7500 apply then 200-300 get sent videos then 50-60 get in today?
Whats the l&s cs acceptance rate for intl
guys imma be honest
I applied to Berk for fun
im a staunch UCLA stan
berk is like my second least fav uc
i mean I'd go if accepted but I want UCLA :(
i applied to UCLA just for the food ngl
i applied to ucla cuz usc triggered me
so if you don’t get this email basically u won’t be accepted 😭
3:30 est?
pst I guess
1% of applicants get the email
a LOT of people get accepted without😭
idk
i think a lot of ppl got videos this year
8 and a half hours guys!
i just went online and saw GMP accepted people's stats... I'm def not getting in 
oh wait i’m so confused right now i thought the 1% was today or something
yea around 1000 people get acceptance emails today
ok lemme clarify (also all of this is info i've gleaned from this server + past records)
for special programs like met, gmp, the hong kong dual bachelors thing, you get your decision for that today. you could get rejected from that but still admitted to the university as a whole. programs like these are v competitive like i think met only accepts 50 people a year so rejection from that does not mean rejected from berk.
apart from that, some people are shortlisted for the regent's and chancellors scholarships, and they get an email if they're shortlisted today. you could get shortlisted and still not get the scholarship, but if you get the scholarship email you are def admitted to berkeley. said scholarship email goes out to about 1000-1200 people, and considering they get 100k+ applicants a year, thats an ar of 1%. uc berkeley's overall ar is 11% so a large majority of people still get into the university in march. speculated time for this email release is 3:30 pm pst.
if you neither applied for a special program nor are shortlisted for scholarships, you'll get an email tomorrow saying this:
"Dear XXX,
We realize you've been anxiously awaiting your decision from UC Berkeley and want to let you know that your application is currently under review.
While you may have heard that a few applicants received notification of their decision, we are still reviewing the majority of freshman applications.
First-Year decisions will be released approximately late afternoon / early evening (Pacific time) on March 30, 2023, via the MAP@Berkeley portal"
[this was last year's, the official decision date for this year is march 28th, 2024]
getting this email does not mean you are rejected. lots of people dont get scholarship and still get in. it just means you didnt get a scholarship.
i think thats it
bro i hit the character count 💀
ahh this helps a ton, i get it now thank you for keeping me in the know !
ofc!
so if you didn’t apply for a special program or shortlisted for a scholarship you get that email you put below? is that for people they’re interested in or everyone gets that?
afaik everyone gets it but they get it a day after the scholarship emails
gotcha
so if you dont get an email today you know you didnt get anything
How so
my dad lives there + has been paying taxes for like 20 years
so from second year i qualify as instate
ab 540 something
not for first year tho
Thank you!!!
💯
Dont u have to graduate from a cali high school
thats why i dont qualify first year
Wait what so for the met program they sent the video to more than 200 this year?
No way they didn’t send over 200, everyone I have seen who know who applied to EECS got it
Oh dang so it’s not like every year then where they only send it to 200 ig
eecs got a video?
y'all if anyone gets anything pls post in #✨-celebration-station because im sure this thread will erupt around the time and i ain't scrolling😭🙏
idt it was ever 200
cap
hi

shiiiiiiiittttt
do u guys actually wanna go to berkeely
hi
Ofc
Do u not?
yes dur
seems miserable
for met/eecs yea
but worth it 😭
lmaooo hi abhi
im continuing my anti-berkeley rant here
also i pay OOS tuition
unless they give me a scholarship today 😋
wait why do u hate berkeley?
my dream school for the past 3 years 😭
i would prob choose it over an ivy tbh
I dont
I just hear the worst things about it
Rant is prob too strong of a word lol
too bad no baddies at berkeley
hey
just got baited by lived name email 💀
Guys so what was said on Reddit about 200 getting the video and then picking 50-60 from those 200 is a lie?
might have been accurate in past
but based on amt of ppl saying they got it, that doesnt seem accurate
Ohh makes sense
Fr tho i need to know this
Bc they extended the SIR deadline
Do I need to ping here
Yes
facts :(
Applies to the dudes as well ngl
I don’t wanna spam all threads but this one has by far more than sd and la
Ok I’ll ping
Do you know about the accuracy of the rumors that only 200-300 got the met video or
I wouldn't know sorry
Is it rly coming out td
Ahh no worries
I mean,
2/7/20 2nd Fri
2/11/21 2nd Thurs
2/10/22 2nd Thurs
2/9/23 2nd Thurs
Is it 7pm est?
OMG I GOT IN MET
LET ME SEE
what no way
bruh just realized was a troll email from my friend 😐
i was bout to say it’s early
LMAO ur friend ofnbejejr
LMAO
same 💀
That ain’t your friend fr
Nah that’s devious
Bruh don’t troll like that 😂
Congrats!!!
is it out like did they send an email guys??
Omg my heart stopped YALL gotta chill 😂😂
😂😂
😂
Its coming out in an hr
Although is it confirmed to come out today or tmrw
Last yr was feb 9
they all come out same time w regents right
It’s today cuz it came out Thursday the last 3 years
If u applied normal eecs or l&s cs i assume u wont find out today right
Yea
How many ppl get regents each yr
they said total ppl who get the admitted email today/tmr is like under 2k
so subtract all the programs from 2k
and u get the regents interviewing ppl
Do yk how they select ppl for regents
Best of the best probably
reminder not to troll about decisions
I applied “engineering undeclared” will I get anything today or tomorrow or is that for different programs?
what updated
no one asked

isnt it supposed to come out at 330
pst
is the 3:30 just speculation from last year @_@


I have no idea what I’m waiting for
I don’t even know if my major and financial aid qualifies for regents 😭
Is it just MET coming out or is are there normal decisions coming out too
whats this about finaid qualifying for regents? does finaid impact it?
we usuallly get around 4 regents at our school so hoping berkeley pulls thru
omg met please accept me 😂
Wait I thought it’s tmrw
It is today with high probability
TRUEEE
wait i need that so bad
on my knees
Ah I selected MET as my secondary thingy
does that mean anything
“As a reminder, you selected M.E.T. as your alternate major, however, only those who select M.E.T. as the primary major will be considered for the program.”
if i get in berkeley regents im gonna backflip off the table
you wont be considered for MET
Omg I wish met was more clear with how many get the video so I can start working out my chances of truly getting in 😂😂
What’s up
wait how do you guys know its coming out today
LOL
😭
idk should i be at my phone in case a brodie of mine gets in or nah
what we think
quick big boy
I would just check again in like an hour
Has anyone received anything yet?
no
we think it’s 3:30?
same
1 minute …??
It could vary
guys this is scary
its not like they all come out at 3:30
did u guys get it?
I think it’s rolling
