<p>“berkeley looks more at essays”
if there is a god, honestly : P</p>
<p>those stats are freaking scary. but it makes me feel like they’ll be less likely to focus on GPA.</p>
<p>Not everyone has a 4.0 and not everyone has at least 2100. I know plenty of people who have around 3.5-4.0 and none of them scored higher than 2000. No UC has a set requirement for scores or GPA, especially Berkeley. They look for those who are well rounded and don’t reject you or accept you for certain scores. That would just be ridiculous.</p>
<p>This is from the online alumni e-mail hope it helps</p>
<p>BERKELEY — University of California, Berkeley, officials recently decided that the campus will, in fact, use waitlists as part of its freshman admissions process. Students who applied for fall 2010 admission will learn later this month whether they will be offered admission, denied admission or offered a spot on the waitlist.</p>
<p>Walter Robinson, UC Berkeley’s assistant vice chancellor and director of undergraduate admissions, said campus officials decided last week to use waitlists as a tool that may be used if needed to reach their enrollment targets. This decision follows an announcement by the University of California system in February that all other UC campuses, except for UC Merced and UC Los Angeles, would be using waitlist for the first time in UC history. UC systemwide officials noted inadequate state funding for students and the need for admissions officials to carefully manage and reach their enrollment targets.</p>
<p>More than 50,000 students applied for fall 2010 freshman admissions to UC Berkeley, a record number. On March 25, the campus plans to offer admission to approximately 10,500 students. Approximately 200 students will be waitlisted. Admissions officials will not know how many waitlisted students may be pulled from the list and offered admissions until after May 1 — the date by which students offered admission on March 25 must confirm their plans to enroll at UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>Waitlisted students who gain admission to UC Berkeley will receive their offers of admission on June 1st. UC Berkeley’s enrollment target is 4,100 new freshmen enrolled starting fall 2010 and 950 additional new freshmen enrolled starting spring 2011.</p>

<p>Is the number of spring acceptees a part of this? That’s pretty much why i made the orig thread, lol</p>
<p>I think since its sending emails on March 25th to 10500 ppl who got in and 200 waitlists, im guessing those numbers are for fall 2010 students. That’s my guess from just reading…</p>
<p>GAH im so nervous</p>
<p>@apHelp college of Engineering is hard to get into esp. with bioengineering, EECS, and undeclared. I read it from another thread at CC.</p>
<p>I agree with Mooseman. An average simply means that there will be some scores that are higher and some scores that are lower. The average doesn’t mean that its the score you need to get to be admitted. Stats aren’t everything I’m sure. You have to be well-rounded, like Mooseman said. just GPA won’ get you anywhere I’m afraid.</p>
<p>33hours, I wasn’t disputing that. I got rejected from UCLA KNOWING how competitive it is. OF COURSE it’s over 4.0’s except in extreme cases. That was my point. </p>
<p>& Leadership points as in president of ASB, clubs, chairmanships, editorships, community service projects</p>
<p>Leadership points != holistic review</p>
<p>Anyways, any word on this spring admit calculation thing?</p>
<p>Not sure about this year, but last year around 10,000 were fall admits and 2,500 were spring admits.</p>
<p>Would anyone else like to confirm? lol</p>
<p>I hope 10,500 includes spring admits</p>
<p>Me too, because UCB has too many students at the moment, and its budget cannot accommodate such a quantity.</p>
<p>It would be really awesome if it was reduced by that much but that number is probably for fall only</p>
<p>“I know plenty of people who have around 3.5-4.0 and none of them scored higher than 2000.”</p>
<p>yeah, & they’re called in-state students.</p>
<p>“I know plenty of people who have around 3.5-4.0 and none of them scored higher than 2000.”</p>
<p>Can someone say the same thing about UCLA here?</p>
<p>Berkeley shouldn’t be admitting more than 10k students every year, if it has a yield rate of 47%. I hope the Berkeley adcom would realise that Berkeley has to trim down its undergrad students.</p>
<p>UCLA is slightly harder to get into than UC Berkeley based on numbers, although any one student may gain admission to one school and be denied by the other. This year the average weighted GPA for UCLA 2010 admittees is 4.38. The average weighted GPA for non-resident /International admittees to UCLA is 4.51. The UCLA admit rate for students with a GPA under 4.0 is 4%. For UCLA in 2010, 10-11 % of new admittees are non-resident and International Students, for Berkeley 23% of new admittees are non-resident and International students. UCLA is anticipating a freshman enrollment of 4690 out of 57,644 applicants for freshman admission. UCLA receives more applications for freshman admission than any other school in the country. UCLA does not use a waiting list.</p>
