***Official 2012 UC Berkeley Appeals Thread***

<p>@chyeim I can only understand how you feel! I applied only to California schools… And now I’m looking at no schools. Only waiting on waitlists and appeals while I see some kids who didn’t seem to try or be interested in college get the spots at the schools I wanted to get into… So totally understand. At least you’re in somewhere, so that’s a plus! And if she turns down Berkeley… Hey that means more room for the rest of us! And who knows… Maybe she’s also just lying about her admission (weird but even a kid at my school joked around and said he got in and photoshopped an admittance letter… but it was all a joke)</p>

<p>Hope we all hear back from Berkeley sooo tho): the suspense is killing me</p>

<p>@ithinkican93,
You can personal message me if you want. I have some info for you about your situation if you care to hear it.
I actually went through the same thing last year. I decided I wasn’t going to lower myself to comm. college and knew there had to be a mistake on my UC app. I took a year “off”, interned, volunteered, worked, improved my SAT slightly, and now I got into every school I applied to except Cal. Yes including UCLA, UCSD etc, even mini ivies like Wellesley and Vassar. The UC application is NOT errorless. Mistakes happen. Extreme bad luck happens. The slight improvements I made this year were NOT enough to bump me from getting in nowhere to getting into UCLA and mini ivies. there was a mistake. And it’s heartbreaking but this is NOT the end of the world. Don’t give up. It was extremely hard for me to walk at graduation with honors as the class “failure” but I decided I wasn’t going to give up… And it worked. Haha sorry for the pep talk but my heart sooo goes out to you and others in your situation. You don’t have to believe me, but I really have no reason to lie. Never give up.</p>

<p>FYI, I was rejected /waitlisted at all UCs, the only place I applied last year. I was rejected from every waitlist too. The last school rejected me the day of my graduation. It was like a horror movie. Idk how I got through and came out the other side a winner haha. It’s hard for me to believe so I can only assume some of you are rolling your eyes. Im not lying. Truth hurts. Don’t give up!</p>

<p>has anyone’s decision come out yet??</p>

<p>I’m still pending.</p>

<p>same here, I really hope they update soon. the suspense is killing me. maybe all the results will come out on may 1st together?</p>

<p>You guys see the tracking now. It is updating… Just anxious about my appeal decision. I have been rejected/waitlisted by all UCs. Hopefully, I will get in UCB. It is my dream school!!!</p>

<p>oh man! I see it too! I am scared!</p>
