I took the SAT 4 times and each time my score increased by about 100 (1900, 2050, 1480, 1560).
Will this reflect badly or will they give maximum consideration to 1560 (2310).
I’ve applied to the College of Letters and Science.
85k applicants JUST to berkeley? jesus…
@catsrock17 Yeah and 100K+ for UCLA 
Does Berkeley look at your senior semester grades when considering you for admission?
will i still get a LOR request if my school has already submitted all letters just in case?
@woakley5 no but they do look at the rigor of your senior courseload
I got a request from Berkeley for LOR too. I have a 33 on my ACT, a fairly low UC GPA, but I took a lot of APs and have a lot of ECs. I’m applying to CNR… I have no idea what this means!! I’m scared it’s random selection, but there’s no way they would ask us for a LOR if they were going to flat out reject us, right? Does anyone know of stories where people got a LOR request and then got denied? I’m also confused about their new policy change, are more people getting asked this year?
@fiercehearted when did you get your request? And what’s your capped/uncapped UC gpa?
Hi guys! I’m wondering if any other applicants recently (like, really recently) got a LOR request? I just got mine today and I’m pretty confused because I thought they stopped sending requests in mid-December.
So, yeah. Also, nice to meet you.
@Faultystart Hi! I just got my LOR request today too like literally 10 minutes ago
@sabrinac123 @Faultystart When did you guys submit your application?
@pac12bound I submitted my application on December 1st… lol i decided to actually apply the night before
Wasn’t the deadline Nov 30th ?
They had extended it because of issues with the site, if I remember right. @ad93107
@pac12bound November 28th.
@wormholes I got it on December 23rd around 8pm EST, and I submitted my app at 11:30PM on Nov 30th (cutting it pretty close, I know!) Unweighted was a 3.6, weighted was a 3.9, if I remember correctly. My school didn’t really offer a lot of advanced classes for sophomore year, and only some junior year. Plus, a lot of my grades were B+s, because I didn’t know until senior year that they didn’t could the + But this year I’m taking all AP classes and my senior grades were all As and one B, so hopefully they look at that, even though it doesn’t count towards my GPA.
Did you guys all personally get an email from Berkeley about sending a rec letter? I didn’t but I went on Parchment today and apparently my GC sent a rec letter to Berkeley without my knowing…
I got an email from Berkeley about rec letters sent to my personal email address.
Can someone chance me? I was requested for LoR as well.

Hi everyone! Did anyone here apply to the M.E.T. Program this year? If so, did you get any requests for recommendation letters?
Can anyone check your MAP@Berkeley to see your Letter of Recommendation status? Mine still shows
“Awaiting” even though I sent requests to recommenders on Dec 19, and they said they replied before Christmas. Does anyone know typically how long does it take for MAP@Berkeley to update the Recommendation status? Thanks.
