I was wondering when Berkeley sends the supplements… do they stop after a certain date? It seems that a lot of people got theirs already, and I’m sure that I would be either a borderline candidate or one who is most likely going to be rejected. Should I be worried?
is this only for highschoolers or transferees as well?
I’m in the same boat! Crossing my fingers for that email. [-O< Super curious about this, too.
Guys don’t worry about the ucb/ucla supplements at all!! Only about five percent of applicants get one and they’re not at all an indication of whether you’ll be in or not. Supplements are sent to those with extremely unusual talents , significant challenges that are not entirely reflected on their transcripts (for example homelessness, cancer), and for students right on the borderline. The majority of students who get them are those who the readers can’t decide if they should be accepted or rejected, and therefore flag their apps to get additionall information on them. The information is something like submitting senior year grades, why berkeley essay, and a letter of rec. So if you don’t get one and you think you have a strong application already, you really should not even worry about it!
