<p>When I logged on to myBerkeleyApp, I see a section for "forms".</p>
<p>There is one questionnaire about low-income stuff (family makes 20K/year), and one for a letter of recommendation.</p>
<p>What's the deal with this?</p>
<p>Does anyone else see this on myBerkeleyApp?</p>
<p>What's the deadline for these two forms? Are they required?</p>
<p>this mean your being considered for a spring admit acceptance! Good luck! I did the same thing and luckily got in. Take the questionnaire as an extension of your application, get help on answering the questions and make sure you get a really good rec. letter sent. I hear only 50% who get this will get in.</p>
<p>Yeah, like Leftist said, people who receive these requests for supplemental information DO get fall admission also (I was one of them).</p>
<p>However, panchovilla is correct that about ~50% of those who respond to these requests are admitted to Cal. It’s definitely a good thing.</p>
<p>Hi, I got this email as well but for my talent and how I will contribute to Berkeley. Does this mean I am borderline…I have an unweighted 3.6 GPA and weighted 4.1. My SAT score for a single sitting is a 2230 and 720 on both subject tests.</p>
<p>Alright I just got the email that actually asks me to fill in these forms. (I guess they updated their website before sending the actual emails)</p>
<p>I have 10 days to fill in the questionnaire, and the recommendation is optional… I’m definitely going to do both.</p>
<p>I read, somewhere, that this was for “borderline students”. Why then do you guys say it’s a good thing, in this situation?</p>
<p>So this is really a good thing? I have never heard about it. Is there anything else you can tell me about “what this means”?</p>
<p>It can be good because the stats are about 20% accept, 80% reject. This means you are still being considered for acceptance and not rejected.</p>
