Official Berkeley Appeals for Fall 2010

<p>I know you guys are very anxious, this is the next two (or more) years of your life, but please be patient. Yes, there has been acceptances, but again–the transfers who were accepted by appeals, I doubt are on CC. </p>

<p>And yes, please don’t call Admissions, we wouldn’t be able to give you a specific anything, as it is out of our hands. Almost there!</p>

<p>Thanks sakurax you have been very patient, supportive and very helpful! I know not to call I was just saying I want to but I won’t.
Do you know why some of us are still waiting? Is it the IT dept that hasn’t put in our acceptances/denials? Or admissions is still deciding?
Again I appreciate all the help and info you have been able to give us. I’m glad you have been very patient and understanding of our situations.</p>

<p>I wasn’t saying it to you necessarily, just because I know the office is getting bombarded with calls from transfers today, wanting to know their decision, just for anyone reading! </p>

<p>[Again, again, again.] It all depends on the order your specific appeal was recieved. I’m not sure if there are any more appeals still pending because I go to work today in a bit (I’ve been busy with conferences). Also, it’s not only IT. They do put in the information but it takes a while to process so you may be able to see it. It’s all a long process. </p>

<p>Stop stressing out so much! You’ll lose too much hair, haha!</p>

<p>And with that post I will be taking my leave now! It’s my last day at work for the semester, finally, I get my summer vacation!</p>

<p>Good luck to you all! Hopefully you get your decisions soon, whether good or bad, I’m pulling for you all! </p>

<p>I’ll check on here tomorrow!</p>

<p>ahahaha too late sakurax I have little bald spots and white hairs ahahaha j/k well again thanks for the info!
yays to your summer vacation hope you enjoy it!!! =D (mines has already started but I won’t be able to enjoy it yet until I hear my appeal results =P )
Thank you very much again. Also good luck to all that is still waiting!!!</p>

<p>Denied. :frowning: Boo. Well looks like I’m going to UCSD.</p>

<p>Thank you to all for answering my questions and for all the info throughout this wait for my appeal. I appreciate it!
But here I am crying uncontrollably…denied again…I am so devastated I have been through so much been rejected my whole life and the one thing that I feel would be my reward and to be accepted for just once in my life is to be accepted and then graduate from Cal. Just one time could life go the way that I planned it to! Just once…oh I’m so devastated =…(…
well I’ll take this year to spend time with my son since I went straight back to school 1 month after I gave birth and apply again for next year (think what you want) but I am determined! Good luck to all still waiting and thank you again for all the help.</p>

<p>Denied too. Oh well. I’ll be back again next year, Berkeley!</p>

<p>@FUNSiZE52 I know exactly how you feel. I’ve had so many crappy things happen in my life that I thought getting accepted to Cal would be my one break. Seems like life will continue giving you a hard time, no matter the circumstances. I know what I’m saying probably isn’t going to help much, but from what you’ve said here on CC, it seems like you’re a really determined person and you’ll do well. Rejection hurts, especially when you work your butt off, but I think you’ll be alright. Good luck next year!</p>

<p>Getting into Cal and being a success are not mutual exclusive. Shoot for excellence- the rewards will come afterwards.</p>

<p>so did anyone get in on here through appealing? i decided not to appeal since i dont have any new overwhelmingly convincing new info besides good grades. which they obviously dont care about on its own. i think they look for recent tragedies with families and other outlandish circumstances beyond our control to have any chance of changing their decision</p>

<p>Thank you pommesfrites12 for the kind words, you and I have been through some rough times but we are still fighting back to make our lives better and that is a very rare and unique characteristic. I just wish Cal saw that as a valuable trait. Well good luck to you and your future, I hope your perseverance and determination will bring much success. Take care.</p>

<p>Edbraga-thank you for your input as well. I understand getting into Cal and being a success is not mutually exclusive it was more about (for me) a way to prove that despite all my struggles one can still succeed by getting accepted to one of the top colleges and graduating from a top college. Which is what I still am determined to do. This is one of the excellences I’ve been shooting for and the rewards I know will come. =) thank you.</p>

<p>Transferbound-so far no =/</p>

<p>nope, i didnt get in on my appeal. ill be going to UCSB next fall tho!</p>
