<p>That’s where I’m getting my numbers. It’s more like 3k difference</p>

<p>anybody else so nervous they can’t eat anything?! :-S </p>

<p>@bayareeaaa94
I’ve been full all day, so yes.</p>

<p>@bayareeaaa94‌ I could not eat any stuff after 5pm for more than 4 days :)</p>

<p>lol glad to know I’m not the only one who gets this way when nervous! I wouldn’t be surprised if I’ve lost 5 lbs just from waiting :stuck_out_tongue: @Anxiety94 @iceburgzhang‌ </p>

<p>@bayareeaaa94‌ I go gym everyday though :slight_smile: could be more than 5 lbs lol</p>

<p>@loyshi I think they have the same acceptance rate. So I guess technically it would be harder to get into Cal still? What do you guys think? Harder to get into L&S at Cal or UCLA- disregard impacted majors. You would have to take into consideration the fact that many people don’t apply because they think they don’t stand a chance; the applicant pool at Berkeley might be more competitive. I wish there was some way to quantify this lol. </p>

<p>Boy all of this stressing out is making me tired. This will be the first time in YEARS, that I go to sleep before 10pm. I’ve only been up for 9 hours today.</p>

<p>@CooCooCaChoo25‌
I think they have similar acceptance rate. Considering different applicant size and a constant available spots at each school, logically UCLA will have lower rates %. But Berkeley can also accept less just to achieve lower rates to be distinguished as “most competitive UC”.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how acceptance rate is calculated? What I mean is: Would purposely accepting less students right away, then accepting students from WL change the numbers?</p>

<p>Don’t crash the site tomorrow guys</p>

<p>hey i applied as linguistics major with 3.66 gpa, do you guys think i have a chance??</p>

<p>@Anxiety94‌ which do you like better? Fullerton has atrocious parking. Overcrowded like no other. I was going to go SCC but idk I liked fullcoll better at the time. </p>

<p>gah! just one more day! so excited/anxious. although i got into UCLA which im ecstatic about, i just gotta know bout my dream school Berk! 5pm please come fast!</p>

<p>@Bigcityofdreams‌
Fullerton traffic was absurd, and I thought the city was kind of dense and a bit unkemped (it was really irritating for me because I drive a huge truck). I personally prefer SCC because it’s not as crowded, but has all of the courses that I need. Fullerton has some great ECs and art/music programs though.</p>

<p>Well when they decline the offer someone off the waitlist will get accepted, so it doesn’t really matter in the end does it?</p>

<p>@music1990‌ does Berkeley even have a wait list?</p>

<p>Happy decisions day everyone!</p>
