Alright - let’s get this started. Just the wait listers.

2

Seems like a lot of people got waitlisted this year…

Hello

4

I got notified at 4PM today Pacific time that I was wait listed. Does anybody know how many of the wait listed applicants get accepted?

5

.

6

20% accepted off waitlist in most recent stats available. Did the math off this common data set - http://opa.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/uc_berkeley_cds_2014-15_august.pdf

7

Can I stop getting waitlisted at places like come on

8

Do you know when they let out decisions? Is it early April or late April ?

9

wait listed.
going to opt in

10

What were your stats?

11

I think last year it was early May, after the SIR deadline.

12

My stats are 2100 SAT, 3.9something UW GPA (int high school, but I am a CA resident), female, Hispanic, applied to EECS. I was accepted to UCSB, UCSD, and UCLA, but Cal is my dream school so I’m definitely going to opt in the waitlist.

13

The waitlist acceptance comes out sometime from May 1 to June 1 is what they said

What I don’t get is the fact that all SIRs for my schools are due May 1st as well, but if I opt in for waitlist and get accepted, what do I do? Like can I accept another school and accept the waitlist or if I accept the waitlist can I not send in the SIR for my preferred school… I am very confused

14

How likely is it for an EECS waitlist to become an acceptance later? That is, does anyone know statistics for past years? Does the CoE typically end up taking people off the waitlist or is it more like Stanford (last year, Stanford took 0 people off the waitlist…)?

15

I really really really want to get off the waitlist. I am kind of excited because no one from my school (OOS) has ever been accepted or even waitlisted before. Seems like their waitlist is a legit waitlist that people can get off of.

17

waitlisted… probably a silly question but do we have “positions” on the waitlist? like, if i submit my waitlist form sooner will i have a better chance of being accepted?

18

Does anybody know where and how I can check my financial aid offer? Or is that only something admitted students get to see?

19

lol we are all as confused as the next guy. Got waitlisted but I think Im going to opt out and Hook’em at UT \m/

Waitlist crew. I have to say, it’s not so bad. Better than a rejection. At you know they have interest in you.
