I believe the professor was stating that if you are a certain acceptance or a certain rejection, then you will probably not get a request for LOR.
If you have questions about who gets LOR requests, please watch the very informative video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-4pi-zlk8g&feature=youtu.be.
Especially watch 27:30 to 31:15.
There is no indication that borderline regents candidates were targeted for LOR requests last year.
And per this video it is clear that many more than 20% of applicants were asked to submit LORs.
Just got an email about First Year Pathways. Does that mean anything?
@TheShortSon I got it too. No letter of rec request either.
I received a LOR request and have already sent it. Does it mean anything?
I got it too, and was requested LOR!
Yes, they are from all over. I remembered when my son went for interview almost two years ago, we saw some kids came in with suitcases.
@TheShortSon doubt it. Most likely every applicant got the email.
@TheShortSon I got it too. It seems like it doesn’t mean anything.
We got one too. It just means we should hang in there. A decision is coming by end of March and no need to call or contact their admissions for a status update.
did anyone else get an update email from berkeley?
did people just receive lor requests along with the update email?
@BLISHnr no. Pretty sure they’ve stopped asking for LORs
The email today was just like the Happy New Year email they sent, not much substance, just saying “remember us.” (Like they need to do that.) Frankly, not a fan of these emails…I get it , but just seems like a big tease.
@blueskies2day I don’t know, I think it’s nice they send something saying that apps are still in process. Some colleges go completely cold.
I also got a mail saying that though we r silent we r working on apps. U ll get decission on or before march 30. No request nothing
…As i was gng through last yra threads …ppl got emails this time which said u ll get upates on 12th feb… and ppl got accepted to regaents interview on that date… 12th feb …2nd friday of feb last yr… prior to that also the same 2nd friday of feb… does this mean we who got 30th march mail ll not get reagents
I just saw that right now too. Now I’m sad haha…
But maybe things are different now. I didn’t see anyone post this year they got any invitation for Cal Alumni stuff. Did anyone get that, or did I just not receive?
Any one out thr who dint get pathways mail from berkely
everyone got pathways email. mean nothing.
