<p>@ nicolles: Yeah, Cal is/was my first choice! I’m just sort of heart-broken and worried that since UCLA rejected me…that perhaps Cal will be inclined to as well. </p>
<p>I’m not gonna lie, I love everything about Berkeley, and if I get in, it’s a no-brainer! It’s been my dream school since I was a kid. The rich history, football team, environment, people, academics, and psych/phil department all attract me. I love it. </p>
<p>@ wmaverick: I’m with ya all the way. We’ll get through all of this. Tomorrow I’m calling UCLA to find out why I was rejected. I’m hoping it isn’t something that would directly translate over to Berkeley as well.</p>
<p>Are you appealing to UCLA? I want us to both be successful if you are. Seriously I’m in for talking strategy about this. </p>
<p>Yeah, I prefer Berkeley, but I don’t want to be rejected by UCB and then be rushing to finish these things, ya know?</p>
<p>@emilsinclair: You’re brave for calling. I am not going to call because I don’t want to freak myself out about Berkeley. If it is something that would be applicable to both schools, I can’t do anything about it now and it’s only going to make the next 8 days even more miserable. </p>
<p>I wish you luck with your appeal, but I am not going to do it myself. I never actually wanted to go to UCLA in the first place. I’ll probably appeal if Berkeley rejects me, though. But hopefully that won’t be necessary for either of us. :)</p>
<p>I almost don’t want the day to come. Ignorance trully is bliss sometimes. After the UCLA disappointment I’m essentially 100% sure Cal will say no, and this one will actually hurt like hell. LA was a whim, I was gonna say no anyway…but Cal…damn, I’m already feeling my hopes and dreams go down the drain…As long as they don’t post anything I can still pretend I might get in…yeah, like I said, ignorance is bliss sometimes.</p>
<p>@ nicolles: Everything you just said is exactly the same as how I feel. I’ll take the ignorance is bliss after UCLA just s*** on me. Berkeley is where it’s at! lol. I’m not sure if I want April 30…or am terrified of April 30…</p>
<p>Most of my friends last year got into one or the other. None got into both. Dont worry! I got rejected from UCLA too, but I also didnt do a few pre-reqs! I think Cal looks more into EC’s anyway. Plus if you did all their pre-reqs and have a good gpa, i think you will be fine!</p>
<p>Tomorrow is one week!!! My plan is super busy weekend then keep myself ULTRA occupied at work all week . . . and the 30th will arrive before I know it, right???
;)</p>
<p>I should stop reading these posts. Half the time they make my spirit and hopes soar, the other time they remind me to get back to earth. The thing is, I REALLY don’t want to get my hopes up. I really want to think I have zero chance. This way if it goes awry, which lets admit is prolly gonna be the case, all those silly hopes wonderful people like you guys instilled me with won’t crumble. I really want to be negative. I have to. UCLA taught me that. Thing is…hope is DAMN hard to squash…</p>
<p>I’m glad I found this post…found some people who share the same anxiety :)</p>
<p>I’m an adult transfer applicant so no one at my work understands the feeling (oh well, at least of my friends does…) My cousin got admitted to all the UC campuses she applied to BUT Berkeley! That got me worried.</p>
<p>berkeley is random :\ i knew someone that got rejected by davis, sd, and la, but got into berkeley…he ended up appealing davis and getting in and going there though…</p>
