Hey, just wanted to get this year’s applicant thread started! Good luck on your applications!!
Does anyone know when we get the link to the admissions portal?
I got mine on Sunday, but my friend only got a confirmation from UC and not Berkeley specifically.
Whew! What an early application deadline! 
@catsrock17 When did you apply? I sent in my application on Saturday night and received my link on Monday morning.
I applied Sunday night and I only received a confirmation email but no link to the admissions portal
@catsrock17 did you receive an invitation for recommendation letters?
@DaCheaPet no I haven’t received that yet either and now I’m really worried because it seems like everyone else has a link to their admissions portal! Do you think I should call them and ask about the portal link/LOR?
@catsrock17 Most of us received our invitation to submit letters of recommendation alongside our links to the admissions portal. From what I’ve heard the average time between the submission and receiving the email is about 2-3 days. So I’m afraid that you MIGHT not be getting an invitation to submit letters of recommendation. BUT that doesn’t mean that you aren’t going to get admitted because of that. That just means that you have enough information on your application. I don’t think you should call them because UC’s send out those around mid-December so it’s not long now.
I applied Tuesday and still haven’t received any sort of portal link
My DS applied on 11/25 and received portal info on 11/27 and it shows app as completed. We sent the scores couple of weeks ahead. Even though he applied to other UCs, so far he got email from UCB only.
Does anyone follow uc berkeley memes for edgy teens
@callmegray maybe
@LeReddit it makes me question if i want to go to berkeley
lol memes make/break a school for you
^im joking lol
theyre all complaining about how finals are really hard at berkeley compared to other schools that have grade inflations or something like that
But the memes are sooo dankkkk I was laughing so hard at the sorority one
I know I have to send all SAT I and all ACT scores but do I have to send all SAT II scores as well? Thanks
@qwertyemily my friend emailed them and I think they said you could sent all ACT or all SAT, and I only sent select SAT II scores because they’re optional anyways, but I’m not sure
@Clareesi ok I just have a 630 us history score I’d rather no one see .__.
