Berkeley waitlist

<p>@Souloi‌ Mine starts with T
@dazzed‌ The FAQ said one week from acceptance, but the link on their page isn’t working for me. I’ll call them when their office opens at 9, and if that doesn’t work, I’m in the East Bay, so I’ll drive over to their office after school</p>

<p>@FUnderwood would you mind tell us the first letter of ur last name?
I am so confused now</p>

<p>@jathak congrats! I just don’t understand the way they release the admissions. Why is it so early in the morning and the office is not even open. </p>

<p>my last name starts with “T” as well.</p>

<p>@jathak My link isnt working as well, it says the deadline has passed</p>

<p>my last name starts with C</p>

<p>ok this means they don’t do this alphabetically. I am really freaking out now. Maybe I am just not good enough </p>

<p>Still the same letter… @FUnderwood‌ how did u check? When u signed in was it like your waitlist letter and another link to your acceptance letter?</p>

<p>Accepted. Log in and big “Congratulations” right in front, no more waitlist letter. Internationa, L&S</p>

<p>I wonder if they have more waves </p>

<p>I don’t think it’s alphabetically. They likely split people up by rounds, based on niches (major, demographics, EC’s, even personality traits as shown by essays) they wanna fill. First round offers go to who they want the most. They see who accepts during that week & check what niches are still missing. 2nd round offers go to those niches still left. They check who accepts their offer…The cycle goes on & on till the class is filled.</p>

<p>Basically, you’re competing for admission all over again -except that you have a more limited time to respond, or the offer goes to someone else who’s similar to you.</p>

<p>Sooo I guess I would free up a spot for a Hispanic female in the College of Chemistry, who’s an immigrant & plays tennis. Or whoever is closest to fitting that description.</p>

<p>Im L&S pre business. Im just depressed right now</p>

<p>@cbj950613‌ i applied for L&S pre business as well and haven’t heard back. has anyone else been admitted into l&s for pre business?</p>

<p>@Lilliana330‌ yeah I guess. I hope they will announce more over the weekend. They have one yesterday and one today. I wonder if they will have a third one soon, or the left have to wait till the first niche make their decision or the seven day is passed</p>

<p>@cbj950613‌ so when u log in , the waitlist message dissapears and there is a photo of this mildly attractive lady beaming and the display shows “congratulations”</p>

<p>@Funderwood, where does it say we have 7 days to respond?</p>

<p>Asdfghhj i want to see that lady instead of the sickening same beginning of the letter “Thank you for applying to University of…”</p>

<p>@souloi Hmm maybe they’re making offers as each person cancels instead of waiting till the deadline…</p>

<p>@FUnderwood‌ Could you please at least tell me your SAT scores if not stats? I’m appealing for EECS and wanna get in so bad.</p>

<p>unfortunately all the people who have been offered a place from the waitlist ( includes me) cant confirm theyre place cause of some server problem…
@cmztreeter007‌ ACT: 35, SAT Subject- 800,800,760, physics math chem. unweighted gpa- 3.82. ec’s very ordinary </p>

<p>@FUnderwood those are some impressive scores, nothing close to mine… Congrats bro and Goodluck! </p>
