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

https://mobile.twitter.com/CalAdmissions

@PlzLetMeIn150 Ok, I was reading wrong tables. Sorry for confusion. But it’s around 30% out of 800 total students applied over 4 to 5 years. Still very high. Big school. For UCLA, it was out of 1000 students for 20% acceptance rate. So 30% acceptance rate for UC Berkeley vs. 20% acceptance rate for UCLA.

Not joking, my skl college counselor just told me one kid from our skl got his/her cal result today and got rejected. Anyone else hear smth like this???

That’s so strange. Why would they release a random rejection/ rejections before acceptances, assuming that’s true?

@2021person that’s really weird… I mean, I know someone who got accepted to their M.E.T. program last week but I think their admissions process is separate from regular fall 2017

Any idea what time the decisions will be released? Will it be at midnight or in the afternoon? Any one have any idea?

We are predicting that decisions will come out around 5 o’clock PM PST because that was when the early decisions were released. @anxious98

@anxious98 I believe it is at 5pm

They generally say that decisions will be released before 11:59 just to give themselves some leeway time in case anything goes wrong but it should be out at around 5:00, judging on past trends.

Ugh! Haven’t we waited long enough?!

rejected by Duke just now…hope Berkeley will accept me

People are saying Berkeley is more holistic than UCLA (which is more academic) which is freaking me out cause I thought I was more strong academically than holistically and I got waitlisted there…

REJECTED BY DUKE…WAITLISTED BY UCLA …GOT IN USC AND REST OF UCS.

@astrophysicistx idk if that’s true… Berkeley has a higher middle 50 for average ACT score so by that metric Berkeley seems more numbers focused. Although I bet they both have pretty similar admissions processes.

good luck errybody. Ill be here with you for the regents, but believe in yourself and see what happens

@astrophysicistx I’ve been hearing that a lot too but i don’t for a second believe it. In my eyes, UCLA is very oriented towards ECs and Sports (all 8 of the people at my school who got accepted play sports) while Berkeley is more inclined towards academics.

Just waitlisted at Duke!! Waiting for Ivies tomorrow and Berkeley so this should be fun

@SIRJEN83 hey same for me!!

T -24 hrs!

fml got rejected by duke…, guess i shouldn’t be surprised because two ppl from my school already got in- one athlete and the other is a famous CEO’s daughter. ITSOKAY THO berkeley is where my heart lies, pls take me!!! Good luck everyone~~~
