I got an email from Berkeley to submit application for global edge program. Did anyone else receive it? Does it signify anything?
I have applied to Berkeley and they also asked me to send LOR.
Received email about Global Edge program but no LOR request.
S got email. NO LOR request. Didn’t read much into the significance or not.
Global edge is for US and European students who became 18 by august 17…is it true
Yes
No, I turned 18 this November and received the email
Isn’t Global Edge Berkeley’s way of admitting you but not counting you in their fall admit numbers? Many schools do this - send kids off to another country for a semester (or the summer) before starting them at the school.
Berkeley has always “deferred” a sizeable number of applicants to the spring. This sounds like (depending on your point of view) a sneaky or clever way to induce people to accept such an offer when they might not be inclined (as D was not) to spend the fall taking classes at a community college rather than feeling truly part of the institution that “accepted” them. Honestly, D might well have bought into this approach.
Is it worth submitting an application to the Global Edge program? I didn’t receive an email, however I am still eligible to apply. How does it affect your chances of admission?
I don’t have a clue but after internet data seems to tell that applicants who applied for L&S may have been sent this email. Not sure though
