Does anyone know if there was a waitlist for transfer students?
Well this round of waitlists has until next wed(5/13) to SIR. I’m guessing we will need to wait another 2 weeks
I do not mean to discourage or shoot down anyone’s hopes but I don’t think they will admit anyone (maybe 5-10 max) this year through appeals because of how they are handling the wait list system. They are admitting off the wait list in waves and they release the next wave after SIR’s have been submitted from the previous wave. They will probably fill up their class through wait listed students before they even begin to look at appeals. I surely hope this isn’t true, however!
@dnmnc How they handle the wait list and appeals is no different than any other year. In those other years, some people got in on appeal and some people who were on wait list did not get in.
There is no evidence that there is anything different this year.
Uhhh were we supposed to mail our letter of appeal or just write it were it said submit reason for appeal on our application online? Because I only submitted it online and most sources say they only accept postal letters of appeal? Dx
it’s all online now.
Praise the lord. Thanks!
I think Admissions had more do to with it than the lord, but okay!
that is good news. are you sure this is true skyoverme?
@natnat101 The 3% number comes from Ms. Sun blog several years ago. Although others have stated that was also true for more recent years.
I don’t know what is true.
I just have a hard time believing that those 3% got in after the waitlist was completely exhausted and those were the very last spots left. I would expect that for UCB, or any school for that matter, that there are still waitlisted people who did not get in and there are some appeal people who did get in.
It makes sense that there are cases where an appeal is so compelling that that person would be considered equal to someone on the waitlist and therefore it may be a coin flip or a specific major that tilts the advantage to the appeal.
When do you think the results would be out? Anyone tried calling…
I called them up today and man picked up and the first thing he says is ‘Good morning’ and I was going to reply saying good night (I’m an international student and it was midnight) and later I asked when the results would be out and he could not understand my accent and neither could I understand his, so I just cut the call!
Hi guys! Just out of curiosity, where are you guys going if you don’t get in through the appeal process?
OOKLA
I’ll be heading to UCLA HSSEAS, with Engineering (Undeclared) as my major. Honestly won’t be too sad to not get through to Cal, I know UCLA is a great place to be! What about you guys?
Yeah same UCLA.
@keli241 Curious, what is HSSEAS? and @novahritan what is OOKLA? lol sorry for not knowing
UCSD anyone? lol
@californiakid1 Henry Samueli School of Engineerng and Applied Science, lol
Ookla is the phonetic pronunciation of UCLA. I’m appealing Berkeley EECS so don’t see much chance in that happening. Doing Computer Science and Engineering at UCLA.
Has anyone got any information on when the results would likely be out?
