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

Rejected, oh well haha

Accepted!

SAT: 1320
UC GPA: 4.41

Also accepted at UCSD, UCSB, UCI w/honors, UCSC, and UCLA which I will most likely commit to.

Accepted!! I had a 34 ACT, 2230 Old SAT, 1530 New SAT

@Gumbymom where did you find the waitlist statistics?
Also, what do you think the waitlist acceptance rate will be this year?

Son accepted for L & S.

Kind of bittersweet because his first choice was UCLA and it’s the only one that he didn’t get into.

I was admitted into L&S!

So on my application I said i was planning to take 4 ap tests, but ended up paying and will be taking only 3 this may. My acceptance won’t be rescinded correct? On CalCentral all the ap tests i put as planned are listed and have a 7/15 deadline, so that worries me.

Got this message from a friend as consolation for being rejected by Berkeley:

Check this out → http://berkeleyrejected.me

Accepted!!

Honestly I was expecting the worst considering I was waitlisted at Wake Forest, Georgetown (my dream school) and denied at Brown, Cornell, and Yale. College admissions will never make sense to me. Do NOT let a rejection define you! It’s so much easier said then done, but everything happens for a reason. I wish I could give my acceptance to one of you who really want to go here because I will most likely attend George Washington. Got a 25k scholarship (not expectice that) and am in contact with their dance coach for dancing for them. Everything is falling into place and working out even after I got waitlisted at my number one school. Congratulations to those admitted!

(my stats for those wondering bcs i know some ppl will end up asking)

1380 New SAT (i got a 1500 in January but Berkeley had an earlier cutoff and this is what i had)
33 ACT
800 US History SAT subject test
4.0 uw 4.985 weighted (lots of AP’s with all 5’s)
Dance Team 4 years
Track 2 years
VP Fbla
President and founder of Environmental Club
DYW of my county and several FBLA awards
(and i got a LOR request)

Honestly stats mean nothing though! Didn’t get into a single ivy

@eastbayrent Same here. Kinda knew my kid would get accepted by UC Berkeley because they review applications more holistically. Almost certain not going to UCB though.

Waitlisted!!! I honestly thought I was going to get flat out rejected!!! (Will post stats later!)

@johnlimster:
The common dataset for UCB listed the waitlist stats for 2014 and 2015. I am unable to find the common dataset for 2016 for UCB nor for any of the other UC’s.

ADMITTED OMG!

GOT IT!! 3.87 UW ACT35 FROM SOUTHERN CA!

Got rejected with LOR. Unphased because still living in the euphoria of acceptance to UCLA lol. Congrats to everyone tho! :)>-

waitlisted wow
was expecting rejection for sure (3.6uw, 35 act, did get lor request)

@Faultystart hey I’ve seen you on a few threads before? You’re on the UCLA waitlist thread too right? I got waitlisted at Berkeley and UCLA as well

I was accepted with a 4.0uw and a 1340 SAT. I am sooo excited! My two best friends with lower stats also got in. Is there any chance that berk messed up and admitted people by mistake? I know it sounds crazy but i’m just scared

ACCEPTED!!!

SAT: 1500, GPA: 3.96, 4.6
Major: Biology
They requested a LOR from me.
Although I’m really happy that I got in, I will be attending UCLA! :smiley:

too depressed to even post - rejected from No.1 choice, UCB. Didn’t get in to any of those who came out today.

Does anyone know if there is an admitted students day or just the community open house - Cal Day?
