<p>Does anyone know roughly how many people have been accepted off the waitlist so far? And of those people how many have chosen to go to Berkeley? It seems like most people who have gotten accepted have decided to go to Berkeley…</p>
<p>I’m an in-state student still wait listed for CS in Letters and Science. I’m curious to know: what are everyone’s stats? I think this might help to narrow down how Berkeley is approaching this process.</p>
<p>Personally, I have a 4.19 UC GPA, 2310 SAT, and three subject tests (800, 790, 770).</p>
<p>4.00 UW GPA, no idea what my UC GPA is but it’s maxxed out for OOS
2400 SAT, 36 ACT
Subject Tests: 800 MathII, 800 WH, 800 USH, 780 Bio(E), 750 Chem, 720 Physics (got a 5 on the Physics B AP, which I’m pretty sure overrides this as they’re over similar material), and 750 Math I (parents made me take it for no reason)
AP’s (all 5’s): USH, WH, Physics B, Statistics, English Lang; not yet scored: Bio, Chem, Calc BC, English Lit, Econ, Gov</p>
<p>(Applied EECS, currently still on waitlist and enrolled at a CE program of around equal quality)</p>
<p>^ This is also why I laugh at anyone claiming Berkeley has out-of-state bias. Their funding is like 15% public but they’re not even at 50% OOS yet. Californians are the lucky ones.</p>
<p>Fingers crossed for in state L&S spaces still available. Also we shouldn’t jump to conclusions about space based on the limited CC community</p>
<p>@dividerofzero Wow, your stats look amazing, which school are you currently SIR’ed at?</p>

<p>Btw I was accepted on May 9th</p>
<p>so to the person who said there was a wave today, who got off waitlist today? im seeing relatively few posts</p>
<p>@dingpiano Carnegie Mellon ECE. Even if I get off the waitlist, I’ll probably stay a Tartan*. But Berkeley was my dream school during application season, so I’ve got my fingers crossed.</p>
<ul>
<li>This wouldn’t have been the case two weeks ago when I still saw myself as a future Silicon Valley dweller (hopefully). Turns out my grass pollen allergies are a bit too debilitating for me to survive in that environment, so being right next to Silicon Valley won’t really mean much for me.</li>
</ul>
<p>@dividerofzero CMU is just as great of a school! I was also wait listed by CIT and did not make the cut. Don’t worry, I know someone at CMU who got an internship at Facebook during her first summer, so it’s just as well regarded by employers. </p>
<p>@dingpiano Thanks. 
I’m definitely glad I got into CMU. I don’t know why I’m still waiting on the waitlists; it might be because a little part of me is bothered by going 3 for 14 with all the work I put into high school.</p>

<p>SIR to UCLA (Regents scholar!). Very confused that I am still on wait list. </p>
<p>For the guys who got in, did you guys receive an email that you got accepted or did you have to check the website? </p>
<p>Decisions were up in the website first; the email came a few days later.</p>
<p>I guess there wasn’t a wave today?</p>
<p>I’m guessing it is very probable that they will wait until the SIR deadline for the general first wave before they send out a second wave of acceptances.</p>
<p>to share a story, i had the worst month in my life this april. On around april 7th, after I became aware of my waitlist, I received an email from berkeley, informing me of my admission. I was thrilled because I heard no one who got into berkeley yet and I was frankly confused at first but hey, I mean the title said: Congratulations on your admission to UC Berkeley! It was from a ucb undocumented student program director nohemy chavez and I googled in case Im getting hacked or something and I found out there was really this program at berkeley, so I literally told everyone and was ready to finish my semester strong and commit to be a golden bear. However when I checked my portal, the same ol’ depressing waitlist letter kept coming up and I was totally confused. Honestly though, even till the next day I had no idea what was to happen. I call the admissions office and tweet UC Berkeley admissions and try everything to reach the faculty to make sure this problem is fixed (I really introduced myself as a recently admitted waitlisted student). Unfortunately, (insert depressing emotional music here) when I emailed a local staff what email I received they told me that I was not admitted, and in fact no one should have been admitted yet. I was so ashamed to receive another email from nohemy chavez that I didnt get in.</p>
<p>Honestly this crushed me. I had to tell my parents somehow that i didnt get in and my father was just so excited for me and I didnt want him to make that disappointed look (well he did and guess what’s worse than getting that look from your dad as first son? nothing.). I have been off with my whole life since then. Its safe to say that I’m slowly moving on but I feel like I’m destroying myself. Literally nothing matters to me anymore. I sold my prom ticket to someone else i havent even bought the cap and gowns for graduation and I dont even know if Im gonna graduate on stage but that really doesnt even matter to me. I just really look back and regret. What crushed dreams do to your lives huh. I know that some people might say hey cheer up! admissions office aren’t even done with their evaluation and the deadline is june 1st! But I’ve been hearing so many happy people’s news and my portal still stays the same. If i get accepted I’d be eternally happy and work the hardest I can but if’s never came true in my life. I’m just really depressed right now so please bear with my sad and annoyingly long post. </p>
<p>@cbj950613 I understand how you feel… I still remember my dad’s disappointed face too… but to be honest if I could go to the past and change anything I wouldn’t… only because I think that I’ve tried my best and I don’t think I’ll be able to do more. All I can say to you is that life isn’t over and I am sure that you will be successful wherever you go next year! Good Luck!</p>
