Senior Weekend 2010

<p>(Sorry, I posted this on the general Berkeley thread and just now realized that I should have posted it in the 2014 thread.)</p>

<p>Did anyone hear a confirmation for their RSVP yet? When do you think we'll know by? </p>

<p>Thanks in advance! :] And CONGRATULATIONS to all you admits!</p>

<p>No idea. I sent in a request and they just told me to check daily… I really want that free trip!! D:</p>

<p>How many students do they accept to Senior weekend anyways?</p>

<p>About 800. Here’s what I found on the site:</p>

<p>"We provide a no-cost overnight experience to only about 800 admitted students who would not be likely to visit Berkeley without this program. In selecting students to participate, Berkeley used the following criteria: students who participated in major outreach programs (e.g… EAOP, Puente, MESA, Upward Bound, Talent Search, etc.); students who attend high schools that score low on the statewide ranking of academic performance measures (the Academic Performance Index); or students from low-income families who attend California private high schools. "</p>

<p>They called today to remind me, and they had sent an email as well. :D</p>

<p>Same! Haha, don’t you ever wonder if you bump into people from these forums without knowing? That may happen to a lot of us that weekend! </p>

<p>Congratulations on getting in! :D</p>

<p>is this the one on april 16-17? bc if it is, i think my friend got in haha…she was telling me about getting free plane tix to berk and i was like “what?? where does it say that?!”</p>

<p>i called today and the person that answered said that they should be calling us tomorrow for an interview i guess and posting acceptances tomorrow afternoon. hope to see you guys there!</p>
