***UC Berkeley Class of 2020 Applicant Discussion***

@Malcomx99 @jorgelorenzo I was asked for LOR too. I am from Ethiopia! We are Neighbours!!!

@jorgelorenzo By the way, when will applicants get MCF award notification?

@Dan786 Fantastic!! I hope we’ll be classmates as well, I also applied as a CS major in L&S

First we’ll get the notification for the intervew next week, decisions on 12th Feb and MCF notification on 24th March. @Dan786

@jorgelorenzo Do you know any MCF applicants who got rejected on 12th?

Last year they got the decisions in March. But I know a couple who were rejected. @Dan786

@jorgelorenzo Oh…Got the chills already. Good Luck!

@Dan786 Good luck to you!

2000 students whether international or not will get an acceptance on Feb 12. It’s a new early notification policy: http://www.dailycal.org/2016/01/12/uc-receives-record-high-number-applicants-applications-uc-berkeley-exceeding-100000/

Does anybody have any updates for U.S. applicants or in-state Californian applicants? Also any new info about the LORs?

@vi0linmonster Unfortuantely no new LOR info at this point it’s just waiting.

Guys, MAP still says that one of my recommendations is ‘In Progress’. My teacher said that she submitted it well before the deadline. Is there anyone else in the same boat?

@potatoheadhala It shouldnt happen. Did your teacher use the UC Berkeley link you sent her? Because she couldve been talking about a different recc like the one they submitted to Naviance.
Also the deadline was already passed. you shouldve talked to you rteacher a while ago. I dont know if they will let you submit it anymore.

Does anyone know when those considered for Regent’s are notified? Of if that already happened?

Were you notified? If so, how and when?

I just read in an article (I don’t have the link anymore) that Regents will come out on February 12th.

Don’t think it’s new, I remember couple guys that got regents notifications way earlier than before the official release

Does anyone know the amount of the Berkeley Leadership scholarship? I know it’s only for one year and I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth applying for

@graceann it’s $2000 for one year only. looked like a bit of effort for the amount. deadline is march 2. did everyone who applied to cal get the email about applying for this leadership award?

Yup I’m pretty sure everyone got the email @madamechic and aw yeah I agree that it’s too much effort for a relatively small amount of money :stuck_out_tongue:
