Can I Get In? (Not a Chance Thread)

<p>I received a supplement for UCLA, did it, and got accepted into UCLA.</p>

<p>Receiving a supplement for UCLA meant I was borderline for UCLA.</p>

<p>I did not receive a supplement or anything for UC Berkeley.</p>

<p>Can I get into UC Berkeley?</p>

<p>Has anyone in this kind of situation gotten into UC Berkeley before?</p>

<p>I got a supplement for Cal but i rejected by UCLA</p>

<p>whats a supplement?</p>

<p>i got accepted to ucla but never got such a thing…</p>

<p>@ heytherek: hmmm…Interesting</p>

<p>@ kelloggss: Supplements or supplemental information requests are things sent out by UC Berkeley and UCLA to borderline or special case students to get additional information.</p>

<p>i’m a special case student having attended freshman year in a NJ hs, then 10th & 11th grade in pakistan under the british system, and then senior year in a different NJ hs.</p>

<p>yet, i have not received a supplemental information request. does this mean i should expect a rejection? to give you an idea here’s a snippit of my stats:</p>

<p>2270 SATs
800 M2, 790 Chem, 750 Physics</p>

<p>varsity bball captain & mvp
myriad of comm. service
not too many clubs since i was changing schools (and thereby no officer positions in any clubs)</p>

<p>you’re right;this is worse than a chance thread. it’s actually common-sensical.</p>

<p>@ talaalazeem: Err, I meant special case students as in students who have some sort of mental condition. I’m pretty sure UC Berkeley sent out some supplements to these kinds of applicants. So I don’t really know about your case, although your stats are very impressive.</p>

<p>@ thisgirlisaG: Thanks for the stupid answer…You can shut up since you clearly don’t know anything. Obviously, I “could” get in, but I’m just wondering how likely this is or the statistics behind this type of case.</p>

<p>Can anyone provide an enlightening answer?</p>

<p>Dynamic…just 4 more days till your questionr is answered. Good luck to both of us!</p>

<p>Well, to be honest, UCB is notoriously random at this kinda of stuff.</p>

<p>I got rejected into UCSD, only to be accepted by UCLA the same day. I didn’t get a supplement from UCLA, but I was still probably a weaker applicant for LA.</p>

<p>I’m waiting for UCB too, but if you got into LA then it’s 50/50. You’ve done everything you can at this point so chill.</p>

<p>There are a ton of people who get into one but not the other, and a lot get into both. At least you’re not one of the people who got rejected from both though!</p>

<p>Hahaha, yeah, good luck to us all ^^b</p>

<p>Except for thisgirlisaG since she’s a moron -.-</p>

<p>from what i have noticed it is very arbitrary, but to answer your question … yes you have a chance and if your stats are competitive then you have a good chance. i received a supplement from ucla (and i thought i was way better then borderline) but still got rejected… however i’m still hoping for cal. i’m oos so my chances are a lot lower then yours, but good luck let us know how it goes!</p>

<p>and regarding thisgirlisaG, don’t worry about what she says. she has already called me annoying and whiny on multiple situations and has wished me a rejection from all my colleges. just ignore her, from what i’ve seen she never has anything helpful to say to anyone.</p>

<p>^Hmmm alright, I guess we just have to wait and see at this point XO good luck to you man.</p>

<p>Yeah, I could kinda tell that thisgirlsisaG is the type of person who thinks she’s hella smart and bad a** even though she’s an idiot and nobody likes her.</p>

<p>Does anyone know what time UCB is announcing admits on Thursday?</p>

<p>@dynamicstyle</p>

<p>oh i apologize for misunderstanding
& thank you for the compliment! :)</p>

<p>This case is similar to mine:</p>

<p>My friend received a supplemental for Berkeley. He got accepted to UCLA.</p>

<p>I did not receive any supplemental, and I got rejected from UCLA.</p>

<p>With normal logic, that would be safe to say that I got a rejection.</p>

<p>Only 3 more days</p>

<p>@SDmom, I think they announce it around 5PM if I remember correctly.</p>

<p>“@ thisgirlisaG: Thanks for the stupid answer…You can shut up since you clearly don’t know anything. Obviously, I “could” get in, but I’m just wondering how likely this is or the statistics behind this type of case.”</p>

<p>judging by your apparent lack of intelligence, obviously not very high. then again, “i don’t know anything” ;)</p>

<p>“and regarding thisgirlisaG, don’t worry about what she says. she has already called me annoying and whiny on multiple situations”</p>

<p>jackdaniels, u ARE annoying & whiny…get over it.</p>

<p>“Yeah, I could kinda tell that thisgirlsisaG is the type of person who thinks she’s hella smart and bad a**”</p>

<p>actually, i never really thought about it like that. but, obviously, u have. so thanks for calling me smart & badass! <3</p>
