Official Appeals Thread!

<p>This is for those who are appealing to Berkeley (like me... :D). Please post any appeals updates if you got any! Berkeley received and is "reviewing" my appeal... Hopefully my appeal was compelling enough. ;)</p>

<p>Wooo they're still reviewing mines as well!</p>

<p>Anyone else appealing? :D</p>

<p>I've appealed. I pray to God that I please get in!!</p>

<p>Haha, me too. :D</p>

<p>When do you think they'll start releasing appeals? Have any of you (or people you know) heard from them yet?</p>

<p>sent in my appeal around April 6th'd. Just checked online. Didn't get in. Good luck to the rest of you :]</p>

<p>If we don't get a decision till after May 1st, how long do we have to tell Admissions we want to go to their school?</p>

<p>No idea.</p>

<p>Sorry to hear about that zehpanda! Just wondering, what did you appeal with?</p>

<p>I had a Withdrawal from one of my classes and I didn't explain it. (my grandmother had died. I had to go back to China for 3 weeks, couldn't take the final so I had to withdraw from the class). Talked about how i really wanted to go to Berkeley, included standard 2 recs and a few awards since I applied.</p>

<p>wow... you didn't get in thru appeal for that? that makes me lose hope for people who have appealed.</p>

<p>but i still wish tons of luck to everyone. my friend who has been wanting berkeley for 6 yrs didn't get in & has appealed as well!</p>

<p>I sent mine in postmarked by the 15th (deadline). Luckily they received it.
It says it's under review and all that ********.
I'm wondering when the appeal decision will be available...hopefully soon. Who's heard already about their appeals?
I have to send in a $500 deposit to NYU, I would like a confirmation of my ultimate rejection before doing so.</p>

<p>i heard if you post marked yours by the 15th, you wont know until after may 1, so you need to submit an SIR anyway</p>

<p>when is the cutoff date to be able to hear about your appeals before May 1st?</p>

<p>no idea. i just heard people saying they were postmarking theirs by the 15th, then deciding on which college to submit their SIR to since they wont hear from the appeals until afterward.</p>

<p>Dude sketchy.
check my thread out about sending SIR's to UC's/waiting for spring semester</p>

<p>May we have link to your thread dwightschrute please?</p>

<p>I sent mine off on the 14th.... I wonder what that entails. Honestly, I'm so iffy with college right now that I might take a gap year if not accepted.</p>

<p>Wait.. What happens if you take a gap year?
Are you allowed to apply next year again?</p>
