oh shit did yours @elkieschoof
The LOR requests get sent after you apply in November – a week or a few weeks later. The interview offer for Regents’ comes when you get accepted early, but not everybody will be asked to interview for Regents’. I think it’s gonna be today guys! Good luck 
I think Berkeley wouldn’t make that mistake again about the “under review” thing lol
so there’s no way you could be be a regents scholar if you didn’t get a LOR request?
But I should clarify that just because you got a LOR request, it doesn’t necessarily mean you will be admitted early, or will be offered Regents. Or vice versa. Seems like the LOR requests were mostly either for Regents OR if you’re borderline overall for admission to Berkeley for your major, which is why it’s so confusing I think.
okay haha i was just wondering because i didn’t get LOR request at all so RIP me yay i can go stop freaking out now
I didn’t get a LOR request either but when I thoroughly stalked the 2020 discussion, a couple of people didn’t get asked for a rec but they got in during February and regents consideration so @GettingRekt lets not give up just yet!
Ooohhh crossing my fingers hopefully. hahahaha but actually this is probably an accurate picture of me:
opens portal on March 30
Rejected
It’s okay. I’ll keep hoping for acceptance.
It’s nearly 4:30 AM here lol. I’ll wait another half hour.
I wasn’t asked for a LOR either, but I, for some odd reason, still feel a sliver of optimism hahahahaha
@ByteZz Go to sleep mate. It won’t come out in a half hour — it’ll be like in an hour
@ByteZz GL. It is a very small $$$ amount ($2000? award). At least, you know that you are admitted (OOS is very expensive, no merit scholarships).
It’s a Friday night. 5:00 AM is my usual! I’ll be fine until then. Otherwise, I’ll wake up and see what’s up.
Indeed. Thanks for the luck. I won’t be needing it because I am definitely not going to get this haha
CONFIRMED! It will be today !! I spoke with Admissions. They told me portals were scheduled to be updated at 3PM today, but something happened and they were working on it now. I was told it will happen today.
Last year, it came out at 3:45pm. Fingers crossed!
Will we get an email too at 3;45?
@bartstart so it’s going to happen at some random time right now? or has it been definitely rescheduled to 4:00 PM?
Same dude! I’m in state and I was thoroughly freaking out when people around me had gotten their LOR requests. But I genuinely believe that they did have some randomness to them. And after stalking the 2020 thread there’s still some hope at the end of the tunnel for us non LORs. Guess well find out in an hour. (Well… one other thing I picked up based on the 2020 thread was that their decisions were released at 3:45).
Keep refreshing your portals. Last year, after the emails went out (which was probably in waves), the site crashed for awhile.
This is so agonizing…
The woman I spoke with said nothing about 4PM. She first told me they went out yesterday, and then I questioned her on the portal update. She put me on hold for over 10 minutes and then came back and told me about the 3PM thing and it being late. I wonder if she meant the letters were mailed yesterday??
