UC Berkeley 2023 Applicants Thread

@Itiznotfare I think you’re right. Sorry for not including GMP applicants in my past responses.

@Suave123 Thanks for clarifying the numbers. I had a problem estimating/finding them.

I believe UCB has 45k-ish applicants for the class of '23.

So the 42-43k-ish would hear normally by 3/28 (on the same day on/before that day).

@TheGuy1 re: your post 289. The only way you can get into the MET program is by getting an interview. Usually via Skype and with a faculty member from the COE or Haas.

@autumnspast okay! Thanks for notifying me! I didnt know that. But I’m guessing since their decisions were posted a few days back, their interviews have to be at least a month before?

So case in point, for UCB, R+C or MET (idk about the GMP) you will have or have had an interview at some point.

Otherwise I dont think UCB offers or hosts interviews.

@TheGuy1

Berkeley actually received 87,000 freshman applications for the Class of 2023.

That is the same email I received.

The 87K includes transfer student applications, so the freshman count would be well below that.

Seeing as we are still waiting for the class of 2023 final results I believe the latest stats are for the class of 2022. Total freshman applications 89615 or 89614 (Not sure where that one person went…)

@ProfessorPlum168 it says 87k freshman applications, aren’t the transfer students applying for junior year? Will they also be considered as freshman? Pls correct me :slight_smile:

yes, I guess there are 87K freshman applicants, 100K+ total applicants, so I am mistaken in post #306.

https://ucop.edu/institutional-research-academic-planning/_files/factsheets/2019/fall-2019-applications-table-1-1.pdf
-87,353 applications for freshman class.

https://ucop.edu/institutional-research-academic-planning/_files/factsheets/2019/fall-2019-applications-table-1-2.pdf
-19063 transfer applications (distinct from freshman applications)

@TheGuy1 Do you know how many apply to the GMP program?

Thanks for the clarification @StevenToCollege Whats the 1st year class size?

@Itiznotfare I dont know about that. I’m estimating at least 3-5k but dont quote me on that.

Maybe its a bit lesser, but note more (considering only 30 people attend it?) idk

anyone going to rohp tomorrow?

Did anyone receive an email from Berkeley just now with a message: Meet the Students: First Year Pathways?

@Suave123 I did

hahaha looks like they are right on time with this email :slight_smile: My kid received the same-subject email last year on Monday 02/26/18 3:27pm.

Does this email mean anything, or they sent it to all applicants?

Did anyone who applied L&S NOT received this email?

I didn’t see any thread mentioning the supplementary questionnaire asking about mid-year grades of applicants. Had Berkeley stopped sending these questionnaires this year?
