Berkeley 2017 Results--Question for moderator

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>In looking over last year's RD Results (thank you for the link, Yomama12), I think it would be more useful if, right under accepted/rejected/waitlisted, people listed the college and/or major they applied to. The stats are somewhat meaningless without that. Could someone add that to the template that people use to start the thread? I'd do it, but don't know how.</p>

2

<p>Oh, one more thing … does RD refer to freshman admits only, or also transfer students? If both are posting, it would also be helpful to specify.</p>

3

<p>Have the results come out already?</p>

4

<p>No, Berkeley announces results at the end of March. Except Regents Scholars already know they are in. I was just asking before people started posting.</p>

5

<p>Do Regents Scholars know they’re in even before the interview?</p>

<p>@garfieldliker: The Regents’ Candidates don’t become Scholars until after the interview, but I think everyone that is a candidate gets admitted. My reasoning is that every candidate has the potential to become a RS and just because someone isn’t selected doesn’t mean they get put at the bottom of the admissions pile. They are still students the university would love to have.</p>

<p>@ucbalumnus: It looks great! Thanks for putting that together. Now if you could only implement a sort function … ;-)</p>

<p>Regents’ candidates are “assured admittance” upon being named candidates, meaning they are for all intents and purposes admitted to Berkeley unless they screw up really badly before official decisions are out. They still find out about their official decision and scholarship status the same day as everyone else, not all of them receive scholarships but basically all of them are admitted.</p>

<p>I do not know how much the college or major you apply into affects your admission. I doubt it is that much. I applied to Bioengineering which is known as one of the more selective majors but I never felt like myself or my peers were at an admissions disadvantage because of that.</p>

<p>It is actually fairly significant.</p>

<p>ucb, that is a great resource! If only there were such a document for more recent years…
I’m also surprised at the huge dropoff between a 2.75 read score student and a 3.25 read score student (basically from 100% to 0% admittance). That is a pretty intense process.</p>

11

<p>If you received an email to apply for the Equity Scholarship. When do you know if you won it? I would also like to know if you received a supplement back in January that means you are the maybe applicant and this gives UCB the yes or no factor for you?</p>

<p>Pre-empted the results threads by posting a Berkeley-relevant template here:</p>

<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-berkeley/1475125-berkeley-class-2017-freshman-class-2015-transfer-results-thread.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-berkeley/1475125-berkeley-class-2017-freshman-class-2015-transfer-results-thread.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>(and if you are sure that your Regents’ scholarship candidacy means admission, you can go ahead and start posting)</p>

<p>I’m so nervous!! Honestly, I’m freaking out. I’ve been looking at other stats and I’m not sure… If anything I thought I’d be borderline but I didn’t get the supplement email… So I’m really not sure! Idk if I can wait four more days :/</p>
