<p>I'm really scared for Berkeley (one of my top-choices). Just want to know whether I should be hopeful or not. (It hurts more to be rejected when you're expecting an acceptance.) I got a likely letter from UCLA for Comp. Sci. and Engineering as an international in spite of the fact that me essay had the word "Berkeley" in it- TWICE! (I did not really intend to apply to UCLA but ended up making the decision 3 minutes before the deadline!!). Does that reflect I'm a strong applicant. Please don't be mean and call me a joke/troll or whatever. I'm just a paranoid international kid who's sad cuz MIT didn't want him (and now he really wants Berkeley!!)</p>
<p>Yours Panicking-ly,

<p>(Panicky fish don't taste good!!) :( </p>
<p>PS: Second question- Which university is better for Comp Sci and Engineering? The rankings say Berkeley, but I've seen that some people prefer UCLA for science and engineering.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot everyone- and best of luck for results!! (:</p>
<p>Berkeley all the way...
Same here, intl, UCLA likely, accepted by UCLA, waiting for Berkeley...
except that i didn't mention Berkeley in my essays...</p>
<p>@bzsc01: NICE! so it's not a really exclusive group (the international likely people!) OR maybe we're both part of the exclusive group! :D
(I'd like to feel happier and believe in the latter!)</p>
<p>Oh- and what a coincidence, I'm a scholar (came for JC) to Singapore too!! What JC were you in? Nice to know other Singaporeans/Singapore-students here! Haha! And if you don't mind sharing, where all did you apply? :)</p>
<p>@Others: C'mon please reply, guys! We don't want the tuna-guy to die of heart-attack and get smelly-fish, do we now? Please reply, yeah? Thanks in anticipation! :)</p>
<p>LOL... I was from HCI... I think plenty of ppl from my sch are in the same situation as us though... btw i also participated in the Virtual Business Challenge two years ago...
But to be honest, i never applied to any safety school in US, all my choices are reach/super reach... my safety is NUS (Natl U of Singapore for the benefit of fellow CCers) lol
So i guess u applied for Berkeley EECS... Oh my... i just got a super rival here... But who knows we may just both got in! Cheers whatever the outcome would be!</p>
<p>Anyways, I applied for Harvard Princeton Cornell Berkeley and UCLA. I'll choose Berkeley over Cornell if i'm lucky enough to get accepeted by both. I consider myself essentially hopeless for H&P.</p>
<p>I would say a likely at UCLA gives you a good shot at Berkeley as well. However, engineering at Berkeley is very competitive for admissions, probably more so than LA. Good luck!</p>
<p>Hi,
What about physics?Is it really competitive too? I am accepted to UCLA and waiting for Berkeley(Also int'l).Do you think I have a decent shot?</p>
<p>If you were accepted at UCLA you have a decent shot at UCB and vice versa but of course, not guaranteed. My D was accepted to UCB EECS and UCLA engineering and chose to go to UCLA but both schools have a similar pool of applicants to choose from and the accepted students have similar stats.</p>
<p>You'll just have to wait and see how it goes.</p>
