Yep, taking that this spring lol

#

So I can get it out of the way if I admitted to UCB

#

Just math 54 left lol

scenic shore
rose prism
#

Differential equations and linear algebra combined

scenic shore
#

now tht i hear cc it doesnt seem easy as i expected 😭

rose prism
#

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

rose prism
#

You don’t even need CC

#

Why bother it

slender tiger
rose prism
#

Me too

slender tiger
#

i applied as CS thinking i'd get in

#

and got assfucked

rose prism
#

Bro picked eecs last fall lmao

slender tiger
#

EECS alternative

rose prism
#

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

slender tiger
#

only reason i applied EECS directly

rose prism
rose prism
rose prism
#

Yep

slender tiger
#

yeah i'd go mit anyday

#

berk cs rn is so fucked

#

cause its so overcrowded

#

from the backdoorers

scenic shore
#

obv meant it as a joke but lol

river river
#

Or much harder than b4

#

Idk how hard it will be

rose prism
#

When is the high demand major policy added

woeful shell
rose prism
#

2022 or 2023?

river river
rose prism
#

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

rose prism
#

Ok that is even easier

river river
#

They don’t let people take 61c anymore unless ur declared EECs or cs

rose prism
#

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

slender tiger
rose prism
#

Yeah I just need the class tho

slender tiger
#

unless they change the policy soon which isnt likely since they dont get funding

rose prism
#

Applied math major can still find job in the tech field

#

I just want to take CS classes

slender tiger
rose prism
#

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

rose prism
#

LET ME IN BERKELEY

knotty sluice
#

LET ME IN BERKELEY even though my major has a 1.6% acceptance rate and I fked up my interview smile

LET ME IN BERKELEY i desperately need your cogsci double majormeltingsob

LET ME IN BERKELEY your history department is actually cracked praying

LET ME IN BERKELEY you're so close to my home and my mom needs you for bragging rights 🥹

LET ME IN BERKELEY i really need an ivy+ safety acceptance 💔 noooo

bro id be so happy to get into berkeley

random parrot
wintry silo
#

berkeley for in state and some unpopular major is honestly not a reach tho

rapid terrace
#

@jolly python do yk why the acceptance rate for applied math at berk is so high in-state? is the yield not good?

rapid terrace
wintry silo
#

if you have the stats and whatnot

#

i mean i think thats kinda scummy but whatever

jolly python

#

Yeah that’s the only one

rapid terrace
jolly python
#

I mean it's certainly possible

#

When does M.E.T send out acceptance letters, saw somewhere that last year they send out during regular decision

tender prawn
#

Last year Feb 9th

#

Should be around the same time Feb 9-10

tender prawn
#

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

silent bison
#

Well is it Februrary for Engineering students

smoky frigate
#

just MET i think

tropic yoke
#

could someone send the acceptance rates by major for berkeley engineering

fallen oxide

#

does cal admit by major or school?

i am assuming school but

MET?

ancient cairn
#

sub 1% acceptance rate

stiff oasis
ancient cairn
#

oh i thought it was 6000 2 years ago

#

that's what michael grimes said

#

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

stiff oasis
ancient cairn
#

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

knotty sluice
#

do you have smth like this for GMP?

rapid terrace
vast juniper
#

how is it that low

smoky frigate
#

what happened to the rates after 2020-21, it literally got cut in half

tropic yoke
#

aerospace is goona be tough

vast juniper
#

i hope its some weird shit with this data

#

but theres no way that major is just as competitive as eecs

rapid terrace
#

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

tropic yoke
#

i checked with some of my friends at berkeley,

scenic shore
#

is data science hella competitive at Berkeley, or does anyone have the exact data

rapid terrace
#

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

spring pulsar
#

is MSE going up bc from capacity or just fluctuations in popularity

smoky frigate
river sparrow
#

why is aerospace so low 💀

vast juniper
#

jeffy did u get in gatech

river sparrow
#

im screwed bro

#

ucla is 3.7%

#

uc berkeley 4.6%

#

💀

river sparrow
#

😦

#

i shouldve done mech e

#

wtv

vast juniper
#

it makes no sense that ae is so low like its like just me but more niche

vast juniper
#

mech e has gotta be more competitive cmon bruh

river sparrow
#

ye dude

#

its more

#

wtf

scenic shore
stiff oasis
#

how tf is ucla lower than ucb

#

for comp sci

ancient cairn
#

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

smoky frigate
ancient cairn
#

berkeley eecs has a reputation

smoky frigate
#

but ucla doesnt have same type of reputation

ancient cairn
#

i mean ucla cs isnt that great

austere bloom
swift kindle
#

Are there any people who have taken/are planning to take a gap year here? Trying to meet some people

random parrot
#

if u get a met interview are u basically accepted into engineering?

vast juniper
#

nah

#

its not causational

ancient cairn
#

i wish it was

#

gonna be rejected by both met and eecs 😭

random parrot
tender prawn
#

Technically it’s leaning more toward the true side bc of the anecdotal evidence we have from Reddit but it’s not clear

neat tulip
#

👀

atomic hinge
#

is there an estimate for when decisions come out?

rapid terrace
#

by march 28

granite oracle
#

yall how good the parties at berk?

winter jetty
granite oracle
#

u havnt even been accepted

prime wraith
#

you're everywhere lmaooooo

fallen fern
#

have met decisions come outmeltingsob

#

no?

vast juniper
#

blud

random parrot
#

If u get rejected from met do they still send u the decision on feb 9 or just ignore and reply on March 30

hazy pewter
#

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.

median edge
#

Omg why are u guys overfixating on met..

random parrot
#

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

median edge
#

met is very very very competitive

#

just don't really put your hopes there

random parrot
median edge
#

Um

random parrot
winter jetty
#

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?

prisma hill
#

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

winter jetty
#

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

rapid terrace
#

yeah they’ll consider alternate choice major for appeals & the waitlist process

winter jetty
#

great thanks!

fallen fern
#

is that even true

#

i think they send it to a lot more than 200

#

ive seen so many ppl getting the interview

fallen fern
#

is there any estimate on how many get interview

#

i know its not all but idk if its most or very selective

scenic shore
fallen fern
#

ye they dont confirm anything

#

idk why they are so vague about the whole met thing

median edge
#

why should they confirm tho

fallen fern
#

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

scenic shore
#

and additionally there isnt hard data that is known to public where we can draw out conclusions like these so just wait

fallen fern
#

ye

#

ive also seen ppl say that getting met interview = getting accepted into 2nd major but that sounds like bullshit

scenic shore
#

and i mean also if u are truly curious u can go down to find it lol

fallen fern
#

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

fallen fern
#

hmm ok

scenic shore
#

wait ucb really doesnt conisder secondary majors

#

cuz my senior classmate last year got accepted aero which was his second choice major

rapid terrace

More information, with more details, regarding the Entry Level Writing Requirement will be sent to all admitted students once admission decisions are released.

are they telling people so early

scenic shore
vital crane

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

tepid marsh

id be sooooo fucking elated to get early notif but its not even realm of possibility LMAO

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

anyone else apply to hku-berkeley

yea probably thursday

stuck marten
# ancient cairn

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!!!

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

knotty sluice
#

8 and a half hours guys!

#

i just went online and saw GMP accepted people's stats... I'm def not getting in cursedmoon

native venture
knotty sluice
#

yea around 1000 people get acceptance emails today

leaden ledge
# native venture oh wait i’m so confused right now i thought the 1% was today or something

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
