congrats to all the berk acceptees!! hmu w any questions u may have
oats gl moderating 3 threads ๐ญ
Yall think the order on the faq page of how decisions were made is the order of importance for their reading process? Because why are ap/ib exam scores above leadership in school or campus communities. I thought they hated standardized tests?
Civil Engineering major
Got it๐ค
Scroll down thereโs a formal letter

accepted berkeley while wearing a stanford shirt ๐

Thx
L&S get in undeclared unlike impacted majors
is berk out
I'm deciding between MIT and much lower ranked school rn (going to wait till after CPW to make my decision)
REAL
no very few people take it, i'd suggest waiting till after the frenzy of decisions has died down (like for a few hours) and then asking questions about it
No weโre all just assuming our decision
dartmouth wtf is this portal what have you done
oh hell i dont wanna see my dartmouth portal now
whats the ucb waitlist acceptance rate?

SAME LOL
We realize that many students will be disappointed to learn that they have not been offered admission to the University of California, Berkeley. Unfortunately, the extraordinary size and strength of our applicant pool meant that many highly qualified candidates were denied admission this year. We hope that the following information answers some of the questions you may have regarding our admission decisions and helps to understand our first-year selection process.
guys dont post your full name and application ID
yall did great today
if thats what is says then i thnk it is rejection
cornell reject
avvepted for stats cdss!!
bro my portal is not working

idk the chances but its me and you together bro
Althoufh im also waitlisted UCSD and would go there over berk

UCB is #1 for data science right
oh really, ucsd over berk is respectable
yup apparently, so the data science wl chances are not looking good
Wait fuck-
mhm

Should I select FPP for my waitlist option?
It was wrong ๐
POLL
HUH
Nah what it was correct pretty sure
It got me wrong
Did you check off FPP
what's that
Did you not have that option??
Is it out
I just clicked the opt in button, I didn't look too deep into it
are there admitted students days at berk
yea
Cal day
where is registration for that?
Should be in ur portal
wait for the ppl who got in you didnโt get any email abt being accepted yet right
not checking till 7 and i donโt want the decision to be spoiled ๐ญ
lol they sent me the congrats email 13 days later
but some people did say that if they were waitlisted they got a waitlist email
aight we dont needd a cooldown anymore :D
wtf lmao
chat died faster then the 15 sec it takes to send a message rn
what percentage gets off the waitlist

varies wildly
some years 20%, some years 1%
yeah fair enough lemme j hope its on the higher end

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
do uk why the year before was 1%? housing crisis? smth else??
perhaps! i am not sure though, hopefully it's in the double digits this year
i hope its in the triple digits
I hope everyone in the waitlist rejects it so it can just be me
yeag
2028 server: 6cPsbbYWxP
mods pin this
got rejected so i can very confidently dunk on the UCB email taking me to the wrong link
lmao
waitlisted ๐
Bruh i was so confused
for berkeley waitlist, I don't see the optin to upload my coursework and grades
but my friend does: does L&S not have that option
wait they ttake more info?
my friend has an option to but i don't. does anyone know if they had an option and applied L&S? because i dont see it
I applied L&S and didnโt have that option
ok good i didn't miss something
However I had an option to enroll in the FPP which I clicked yes. Did u have that?
i had that yeah and i clicked no, im ASSUMING clicking yes gives you a better chance
Why didnโt u?
Option?
i read online you have less class selections in first year
is that for eecs too or just l&s
I didnt see that
L&s
Gotcha :) need all the odds I can get
yeah definitely worth it if you can get in through it
When UCLA waitlisted me I for sure thought Berk would accept for some reason, damn
wallah I am finished
ay you got umich
for all the waitlist folks did you guys have to fill out any supplements or anything
no
because i just had to send like a confirm
not for school of cs
yeah mine was eecs sooo
yea type "CONFIRM"
hopefully i get off im honestly so happy ๐
IKR broooo i wasnt expecting ucb ion even know how
got rejected from riverside davis and everything, and got into berkeley wl??? HUH???
yeahh and the funny part is my twin got int to ucb for eecs and i got waitlisted
oooh ur twins
hopefully they take pity for me and take me in yk so we both can go together
yeah my brother his application was a little bit better than mine but for the most part we had almost the same everything
yess ofc!! sooo rn idk lol im thinking maybe ucsc because its closeby to like berkeley
Does anybody know where to find a hoodie thatโs not exorbitantly priced?
yea ucsc is great, their campus is so nice. weirdly got wled from them too
i hate gpa-based admissions
yeah just put yes, it's a shit program but if you rlly care abt going to berkeley it's an option
I got mine at shopcollegewear
ohh i got wl from davis and rejected from la, sd and irvine (i thought it was like game over for berkeley tbh but im shocked)
congrats tho, davis usually has quite a bit of wl movement ive heard
omg I'm so terrified to open my decision ๐ญ idk why
youโll be ok
I got the option for FPP do you know if itโs offered to every L&S waitlists?
it does but as nick said, leaves a lot to be desired. better than nothin tho
a lot of the time
yeahh i put the wl for that as well and i appealed to uci (this was all before ucb came out :))
SAME
because my brother got into uci and i didnt and he was like almost committed there because he thought he wasnt gonna get into ucb
any oly grinders make it in
/poll
There's a poll in pins
got it
I donโt even care that I got rejected from brown and Duke bc I got BERKELEY!!!! YESSSSSSS
WWWW
A FRIENDLY REMINDER FOR YALL TO WITHDRAW IF ACCEPTED TO IVY TODAY
nah even if i was accepted Berkeley on top
yes but i want waitlist movement :)
I'm not withdrawing can't make me ๐
(I didn't apply to any ivys)
withdraw anyways for no reason at all
cc is better than berkeley trust
You have to get an interview to be considered for regentsโฆ
That was my last chance to go oos ๐ข
yeah only people who got in February 9 got interviews
anyone got in for EECS?
Thereโs no point waitlist movement wonโt begin until after the commitment day.
still
withdraw rn so they can give results asap
me
Anyone know the waitlist acceptance rate?
I GOT IN dream school for the past 4 years ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
didnโt check until now ๐

for berkeley, if you are on the waitlist, will they admit u based on availability of your major or the university as a whole?
Yes (I have no idea)
welp heres my third top choice ig?
where else did you get in
so availability by major?
is math a rare major
(pure math)
yo wait its u bro
No I wast just joking
u remmeber u from the cmu serv i think
I'm in there
cmu and cornell
not cornell
prob between those 2
so how do they select
I have no idea
I just thought it was funny to say yes to a multiple choice question
I was in the CMU disc for a long time
still am
but I am waitlisted
and got MIT so idrc
yea u were bro
Yeah I joined during ED1 was my top choice for a while
rip my guy
does anyone know if berkeley sends admit packets
is housing rlly as bad as ppl say
Hey guys idk if anyone has asked this before but how do you increase your chance of getting off the berk waitlist? I heard that they donโt accept LOCI so is filling the form, the only thing we can do?
think so
also does anyone know when financial aid packets will come through
Won the battle, lost the war ๐๐,
EA to Berkeley but didnโt get accepted for regents. Praying for FAFSA to come through ๐๐๐
WWWW
dear class of 2028, if I do go to berkeley please dont be uber competitive and stressful
dear class of 2028, if ur going to berkeley, just withdraw theres no point in going trust me im unbiased
on an unrelated note, i got wled from berkeley!!!
๐ค you bring up some good points
missed that my bad ๐
NO SAME 
OMG CONGRATS
What is the percentage of ppl getting in haas by waitlist?
Whatโs berk known for?
sketchy neighborhood
Sketchy neighborhood??
Well area
I thought berk was like one of the best universities in the world
Yes but itโs sketchy
How do they have sketchy neighborhood
lol
โฆ
Itโs near Oakland.,.
Like itโs a rlly good school
Yes
But itโs sketchy
I live near Berkeley abt 40 mins away and been around but not at campus
Still amazing school no doubt but the area is ye
tied w LA
Bruh tied
idk bro i consider them equal but ut rlly depends on whay major and whay u want
byeah
just like how uchicago has one
right next to oblock
If u come here u will get a lot of these
Oh boy
What they donโt tell you abt berk
Itโs got the prestige behind its name
But apparently very unsafe
I thought it was pretty well known
wtf
Maybe bc Iโm ca person
Iโve seen a lot of news articles though. One recent one was abt parents who hired security guards for their kids
I donโt think itโs that bad
As long as you donโt go out late at night lol
I live in Berkeley and (maybe cuz Iโm a guy) but itโs def not that bad
Good to know then. Still amazing school ofc but thereโs always things to keep in mind
Ya itโs prob not bad in campus itself but outside is ehh. News articles also exaggerate
wait does everyone get an invite to apply for seed scholars
i have a thing for it in my forms section
am i supposed to send LOCI for berkeley waitist
Ya (I think so bc my boyfriend got the invite but heโs not from an underrepresented background)
Last year like ~40 people got off the waitlist overall, so probably not a lot
Idk I just clicked the link
That was for fall 2022 this is fall 2023
Where is this info? I know friends who got waitlisted and I think it would help ease them
Common data set
Tyy
guys should i appeal haas rejection for second choice major in rausser / any tips? ๐ช๐ช
how is the dining hall
what does the acceptance letter look like for Letters and Science?
just out of curiosity
for anyone on wl im prob gonna declien so gl ๐
ty
a mugging in berkeley... woah
its wraps for me
Are we allowed to discuss the not allowed since decision is posted?
Why doesnโt letters and sciences say what major ur in
Cause they donโt admit by major unless high demanded major
thanks Berkeley for not making my ivy day straight rejects
Ah
goated school
Congrats
the thing which must not be spoken worked for me. Wonder if theyl ever fix
I just wonder if the thing will work for transfer student. Got negative sign for now but my decision is April 19
do u happen to have berkeley 28 server link if there even is one?
yeah
dm
oki
yo can you slide that too
if you want it just dm me
guys can we submit a loci for berkeley waitlist?
Apparently there used to be some question you could answer but its not there anymore
facts got rejected at 4 ivies but didnโt care after berk acceptance
Idts
@leaden ledge is there a ucb 2028 server?
important information to ask what's in the cal acceptance package
Im not sure but im guessing its the letter, stickers, and pamphlets abt ucb (similar to uclaโs package)
dm
stickers, a flag thingy, a poster for parents, a poster for us, pamphlets about housing and the letter embossed with the ucb seal
ooooohhhh ok ok
could I also dm for an invite to the ucb 28 server?
Thatโs lovely
ucla>
yeah sure
i dmed as well
Super rigorous. Known for being very competitive. My family friend is a doctor and went to Berkeley for premed. She hated it. She got into every UC and she wished she went to Davis instead. This was yrs ago tho. Ik ucb is especially rigorous for premed but I think other degrees shouldnt be as competitive. My family friend is a successful doctor tho now. Sheโs still grateful for Berkeley bc it taught her how to survive lol but it was hard on her
do they send it internationally
no afaik
bro ๐๐
Yep same here would ir be possible to get a server invite
dm
what is the acceptance rate for this year?
probably 8-11%
im a random guy and not berkeley but i wouldnt be surprised if the rate fell in that range
on god
yes ๐๐ฝ
hey does anyone know how hard it is to transfer from UC Davis to UC Berkeley?
molecular environmental biology
UC to UC transfer from my understanding isnt like super easy
why would you want to transfer from davis?
ye ik ucla only does for upper division
davis is still a rather solid institution
I'm asking for a friend, he's accepted by UCD and UW Seattle, he said the good thing about UCD is it's rather easy to transfer to berkeley, so trying to get some opinions for him.
i did all of it
dm
bruh shouldnt we be allowed to talk about it now that decisions are actally out
berkeley is lowkey trenches tho ngl
mods said no :(
ok well mods are stupid just dont listen to them
me talking about it is taking nothing away from you
mods you suck !!!!! (besides smrithi ur cool)
portal astrology after decision is still portal astrology
i take it back
sry i havenโt been on a2c since last year
i still dont get why bro like
LMAO
literally like
i donโt know what the rules are
all good
its just for people that are curious on whether it actually works
ay
there are still juniors
bruh did u guys commit
im just waiting for stanford
i need to see financials first fr
nice nice
after that its over
ok but talking about it now isnt gonna
and in general it just promotes the idea that it's okay to try to predict your decision when there's no point using anything but the actual decision letter
:3
buying merch already tbh
affect them
berkeley is def berkeley
they'll remember
dont these threads get closed every year
can I DM you lol
ofc
waitlisted at Berkeley, I wanted to ask if opting into the FPF affects my chances in any way?
when I click the box it just pops up with a bunch of conditions I need to meet
r u sure u wanna do that fpf isnโt the best from what iโve heard
but it doesnโt affect ur chances
yea i got the confirm thing
hmm, im talking to a previous ucb student about it today, we'll see ig. if it doesn't affect my chances i might as well not do it (or do it, for that matter)

Could you please elaborate on what fpf is? I also got waitlisted and Iโm confused on what the program is even after reading the website ๐ญ
i didnโt do it but i had a friend who was in it. u donโt take classes on campus for the first semester and itโs a commute
n u can only select from a certain group of classes
So you basically take classes in another campus?
yeah basically
Is the standard of the classes still high though? Cz Iโm applied for the bio business (lsbe) and if I get in, I need to meet certain class prerequisites before I declare the major at sophomore year
ofc it is
the classes are hard
ah yes lsbe
r u waitlist at cal or waitlist for lsbe
How many ppl get off of waitlist a year
Ik some friends who got off
for eecs
Iโm a hs senior so I assume Iโm waitlisted at cal???
Okok
does cal offer locis
Wait so what are the negatives of fpf besides the commute?
he was committed to ucsd
Nope, I think we just have to fill in the form
idk itโs all up to u
some people like it
but like classes r better on campus imo
I've heard you're restricted to a set of classes that don't contribute to your major and it slows you down
Ohh I see then, okay that I wonโt sign up for it (assuming it doesnโt affect my chance of getting off the waitlist)
Also for the waitlist, will all the waitlisted applicants be pooled together? Or will it be pooled by major/college?
probably college
bc cal admits by college
Damn, then I will be pooled with students waitlisted in Haas ๐ฅน
good luck
haas is tough
wait this yr they had the direct admit to haas program right
Yea I think so, also this year I could also apply to lsbe directly (under haas) even though I wonโt actually start the program until sophomore year so idk how that works
how many ppl get waitlisted this yr?
I'm going to Stanford bro
Hey guys. Really grateful to have gotten in!!
I was hopping i could get some inputs for #1223212647441502218
Thank you!
But Iโve heard UCLA doesnโt have that great pre med
really
better than cal foshooo
Every time I come to this thread I here uclaโs pre med isnโt rlly great ๐ญ
Why
Ummmm
Lots of reasons
Berkeley has grade deflation
clubs n student orgs for premed are hard to get into
berk doesnโt have a med school
hard to get clinical opportunities
classes r hard
enrollment
etc
u can dm if u wanna know
imo berkeley out of state premed is not worth
NOOO
how do i see what major i got accepted into?
im just telling the truth
do they publish that data?
no
what does ur letter say
if u get admitted to college of l&s you donโt get admitted by major
i think
correct
COE and rausser are major admit
also off topic but i like ur username ๐
yess iโm between berkeley and scripps rn
iโm visiting both next week so iโll see after that
i wanna double in political science & english on pre law
Can you double major between colleges at berk
Anyone get regents
Do international students get fin aid?
I got waitlisted for EECS, what are my chances
yes
electrical engineering and computer science
that and classes are just hard in general
even w english you cant get away with skirting for too long till you get bit in the ass
so gotta study lmao
Is it difficult to? Iโm planning on double majoring in applied math and some flavor of engineering (maybe bio)
is it a bad idea to go to berk for pre-law
any double major is difficult but if thats what you wanna do n you feel you can succeed, go for it
bcuz of the grade deflation
whatโll be the major youโre gonna do
interesting choice
no doubt, just an interesting pre law major
but yeah as long as you put in the work, youโll be fine
i love journalism with my whole heart
and would be a journalist if it paid well
unfortunately it doesn't
GPA is p important for pre law tho so keep in mind
so ill study media studies, work as a journalist for a couple of years, then go to law school and rake in the cash <3
mm yeah how hard is it to maintain gpa at berkeley
hard part is learning to juggle adulting with classes
unless ur commuting, ur not being handheld no more
yall wanted freedom, this is what it involves 
is it hard to get blackwell if you arenโt a regents scholar/student athlete
oh wait you're an english/business major?
yes
thats so cool, how has your experience in the english major been
kinda
actually ๐ค โ๏ธ my dad lives close to berkeley so i dont have to adult 
p chill, keeps me sane from the boring business courses
wait what isn't housing random
LOL
what has been your favorite class

it is but falling into certain categories increases ur chances of getting certain types of housing
how do i avoid getting unit 3 or foothill lmao
but didnt get regents
see thats the thing
u dont
unless ur luckier than god, youโll get one of the basic residence halls
๐ญ๐ญ
whats the worst one
they all have their own charms
whats your least fav and most fav one
foothill is the farthest from campus tho
so if u have classes that arent nearby youโre gonna be walking hella
ahhh
you rank 5 choices and then they give you one of those right
also foothill and stern are in the same place right
isnt clark kerr the furthest
berkeley has grade inflation?
oh yeah i didnt figure that
deflation, no?
yeah figured
never really paid attention to that but deflation
i saw someone say inflation
only way thatโd bother you is if you planned to slack like crazy
which u really cant at berk
slacking for a bit is fine at the beginning but u usually get in gear by midterm season
Berkeley definitely has grade deflation
berk is the only uc that has dead week right
@midnight gulch
YO DID YOU COMMIT
purple ftw
blackwell for the gym
whatโs the ratio of fun and dread at berkeley
YUPP
also wtf is dead week
unit 3 cause annoying freshman
WWWWWWW CONGRATS
๐ญ
then again most of the freshmen are annoying asl
lol
thats just how it is tho, yall r kids
yeah, going off campus for my last year though
i heard itโs like a full week of no classes so you can prepare for midterms/finals
studying abroad this fall so thats why
how is the food there
oh thats so cool
omg slay where are you going
not as bad as they say, a lot of the complaints are from the upper middle class folks
oh shi im upper middle class
honestly congrats
never hear my fellow working class complain bout the food
cause food is food
but it should be better than what u expect
im from LA tho so i prefer that
are there a lot of vegetarian options
doesnt UCSD have restaurants
UCI dining is good right?
they had a sushi place over there
yeah, crossroads has a lot
all the dining halls should have vegetarian options, theyโre good w that
slay
also sorry we're bombarding you with questions
berkeley students rarely come on here
well iโve been in ucsd worst dining hall
phewww
except like nick
and it was decent
but bro iโve been looking at restaurants in the berkeley area
wait the restaurants in berk area look fire
i've heard berkeley restaurants are awesome, its just the campus food thats iffy
and apparently you can use flex dollars for berk restaurants?
yooo rlly that would be so nice
i think so, not too sure
For current berkeley students - how exactly does l&s work - can i declare any major that isnt high demand as long as i meet/pass the lower divs?
also smh sj you should verify
i think so yes
wait how do i do that ๐ญ๐ญ
go do !verify in #๐ค-bot-commands
yeah but youโll burn through those quick that way
that makes sense
