*****UC Berkeley 2021 Applicants Thread*****

@mdchang99, my daughter just saw the same thing on her UCB portal: New section to “Upload Materials” with a drop-down of 4 items. But, there is no email from UCB. Did you figure out what items they expect you to upload? The only one that made sense for my daughter was “Copy of Passport ID page.”

@CollegeDadTX “To submit documents that we have requested, please select the document type below and upload a Word document, PDF, or scanned image file. If we have not requested that you submit documents to us, you may disregard this.”

I think we’re good. I’ll try to call tomorrow and confirm.

We see this as well. As per the caption we’ll disregard until further instruction.

@mdchang99, yep, that’s the message my daughter saw in the “Upload Materials” section, and the drop-down had 4 entries. But, only the passport one made any sense. Without any email, the others mean nothing. She also searched through the online help, but to no avail. So, guess, we’ll need to call them tomorrow.

Admittance letters for the M.E.T. program were emailed on Friday, February 10. If you did not receive an acceptance letter to the M.E.T. program, then your application is now under consideration for admittance to either the EECS or IEOR department (whichever tract you chose on your application).

Admittance letters will be emailed from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions on March 30.

Best wishes,

Does anyone know if acceptance letters/packets come early for pre-admits or do we have to wait for regular decisions to come out?

Hey did anyone else get an email inviting them to the admitted student days? Mine came in at 5:11 and I submitted my interest form at 5:45, but it said regestration had already been exceeded!

@gigi888 Sorry for the late response! SAT Subject Tests will only help you, not hurt you. They show that you went the extra step to take the subject tests. If you’re engineering, I think they do want you to take science/math and excel just because they want to make sure that you can handle the rigor of Cal STEM. But otherwise like it will only help you, so it won’t work against you if you didn’t do so hot. If you proved your academic competence elsewhere then don’t worry about it!

@mistnight8 I sent like 1 math subject test (720) to cal LOL. IM applying to LS so I dont think it’ll be that integral.

I’m pretty sure they’re still accepting people for EECS–from what I can tell, I think they accepted somewhere between a quarter and a half of the students they’ll accept early? But I’m not sure.

@Teach-me where did you get that from?

“Upload Materials” was disappeared…

were you accepted early? cause maybe thats why it disappeared for you @ttkk48

oh wait mine disappeared too…

@parisgeller not yet…

mine got disappeared too.

Not accepted early, but my pull-down menu for documents is no longer present either. I think it’s likely they removed it for anyone that did not need to upload extra documents?

@yuccatree probably just a glitch. no worries, they will email if they need of our presence.

Where was “Upload Materials”?

For regents, is there an overnight stay required? When I was signing up for the interview, I didn’t see anything about an overnight stay. However, last year’s Regent candidates had to stay overnight to be considered. Did I miss something?
