Hello All,
I just wanted to ask if anyone else missed this important deadline before and still got into Berkeley. I am really worried that all my hard work will go down the drain just because of this. My Dad spent the past 2 months in a hospital and nursing facility, now that he is home he lost his independence. With the semester starting 2 weeks ago, the responsibility of being a stay-at-home dad, and the added responsibility of taking care of my Dad’s needs, I lost track of time and didn’t realize it till 1 AM this morning. I know there’s no excuse.
Is it still up there to update? If it’s any consolation my daughter simply does not recall filling this out last year, and she got in.
Nobody can really tell you. I just checked myberkeleyapp (I’m a Haas applicant) and it does say that “This form must be completed and submitted online by January 31, 2015; failure to do so will jeopardize your chances for admission”
My guess would be that you are fine. I highly doubt that Berkeley admissions are starting review of applications on a Sunday.
Call them and explain your situaiton
As long as you have access and got it up I’m sure you’re OK. As @Spenceyboi said, they aren’t going to start looking until Monday. The deadline is really based on the assurance of their eyeballing it, not the deadline per se. But if you don’t make it up there, you will have to call – it doesn’t look good that you had a whole month and didn’t get it done. It’s almost better, in my mind, to have not done it because you didn’t know you had to do it, then that you just kept putting it off until one hour after the fact. Not that I guess it will matter in the long run.
Thanks all for your replies. I sent an email to the Admissions Officer listed on the bottom of the form. I actually did the TAU with the UC website the date it came out. Then I realized later that there were additional forms for UC Berkeley. For me, I just had to do a Major Prereq Form. As soon as I submitted it at 146am today it showed a check mark. I just hope that its not some sort of computer program that automatically disqualifies me for my late submission.
