UC Berkeley 2023 Applicants Thread

Just wanted to start the thread for new applications. Good luck everyone with your applications!

I hope most of you have already submitted. I predict a server crash sometime between Wednesday and Friday :(…

How do I check if they have received my official score reports?

Nice tips! My kid was lucky enough to get into Blackwell and lucky enough to have a roommate who keeps the same crazy hours as he does. No bunk beds, ceiling fans, free microwave/fridge, and for some a view of the Bay.

He is however sick of Cafe 3, as it got old for him after about 3 weeks. He now only goes there (or any cafeteria for that matter) for breakfast only because nothing else as close is open early mornings, essentially wasting almost half of his meal allotments each and every week. Most of the Durant restaurant workers probably know him by name now lol.

When do they start sending scholarship notifications? Is that along with admission decision or earlier ?

Hey @ProfessorPlum168 ! My other kid is applying now… So, did the server crash happen? My kid finished his application and submitted on the 29th…

Haha not that I heard of, but I’m sure everyone waited until the last minute nonetheless.

Has anyone received a LOR request yet?

If you look slightly down the UC Berkeley forum, it sounds like at least one person has already received an LOR request.

Strange that my D’s portal has a check mark next to application and test scores, but underneath it says LOR received 10/11/2018. Do some teachers automatically send them in? I wonder if it will even be looked at since it wasn’t requested?

@Wishforcalpoly same scenario for me too :slight_smile: Shows 2 LORs received…

I haven’t received portal info from any of my UCs. Am I doing something wrong?

My D only received the UC Berkeley info so far

Yes only received portal info for UCB but not others yet

Got my letter of rec requests… oof

@literallyliteral when did you send in your application?

Hello everyone… Are you all instate or OOS .

@Wishforcalpoly November 28

does Berkeley do interviews? If so, when do u find out if you have one? Does it mean you didn’t get in if you don’t?

@sarahk312 as far as I know, Berkeley only interviews candidates for Chancellor and Regents scholarship
