I am still working on my second essay and plan to submit before Thanksgiving. Will this hurt my chances? I know the UC’s do not have rolling admissions but they probably started reading applications already right? I really want to get into Berkeley and I want to make sure my essays are flawless.
It doesn’t matter.
There have been years when the people who submitted their applications on the last week, crashed the system.
There were so many applications that overloaded the system, so some apps weren’t received. They were supposed to have fixed the bugs.
@“aunt bea” I heard about that but Thanksgiving is way before the deadline. I think I will be fine.
