Hi - my son just got off the wait list - has never visited - has obligations this weekend and AP tests and Monday and Tuesday - does anybody know if they ever extend the deadline to register acceptance? What is the deal with housing at this point? How does one know if going spring semester is an option. All help is appreciated!
is there a possibility that berkeley might only/mostly accept CA students off the waitlist this year? i thought that there would have to always be more OOS students to fund the CA students but there are so many CA kids already accepted off the waitlist for that to be true…
@wanderlustt damn… are you serious? that is the first case i’ve heard of an OOS student being admitted off the waitlist… can you give us more details on this?
Guys, they probably won’t make more offers until after May 13th. This is because the offers currently pending expire on that date. Be patient… I remember how hard it was, but still, stressing yourself out won’t do anything.
Looks like selection is random so far, because of where all of the students rank on the list and how much money they don’t mind offering–at least we don’t have to wait no later than June 1st, they promised all waitlist offer decisions (whether denied or accepted) would be finalized before then.
Hopefully since the first wave ends today they will have another wave by the end of this week. Since Berkeley is my top and I am wait listed for EECS I am very anxious haha.
@jjsr2k I’m not a CoE applicant for UCB, but people did come off the waitlist for engineering already; its just that all of those people were in-state residents. So yes, I believe there is a fair chance you can still get accepted off the waitlist for whichever major you chose. So far UCB has accepted 0 OOS students off the waitlist according to CC (1 user said 1 person got accepted from Indonesia but has not confirmed) and hopefully in the next wave they will do so. The fact that one school of the same system did not accept anyone off of their CoE waitlist does not mean that other schools of the system will be doing the same at all.
I hope so. But if the CoE enrollments for UCLA (3100, admission rate 13%) and UCB (3100, admission rate 9.7%) almost same and UCB seems much better on all engineering majors. I think, the chance is slim.
