UC Berkeley - Class of 2020 Waitlist

anytime in May

Are most people accepted through the waitlist accepted for fall or spring? I was under the impression that those accepted from the waitlist would be able to start with the rest of the class of 2020’

@aleckan11 that’s what I thought as well but who knows. I know there are ppl who get in for spring but I do not know if everyone on the waitlist gets in for spring or not.

Last year, people got their acceptances on May 6th.

GUYS!! hear me out on this one. So I still think this whole thing is super fishy and not official in any way, so I checked out Berkeley’s enrollment path FAQs, and it says (and I quote): “UC Berkeley no longer admits first-year freshmen to the spring semester. FPF is now an enrollment path presented to UC Berkeley fall admits.”

The website is http://admissions.berkeley.edu/enrollmentpathfaqs

So in conclusion, this spring admission faq thing CAN’T be right (unless there’s some other weird thing I’m unaware of)

@goomba123 Nice detective work :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey guys, just curious - did many of you write about a “Why Berkeley” essay? Because I did too!

@robogineer1649 lol thx :stuck_out_tongue: just trying to keep the spirits + confidence up around here :slight_smile:

not really. I just uploaded a transcript and said mentioned a few updates on leadership positions and that’s it :slight_smile:
But I wrote a whole essay for the UCLA wait list ahahhhahah

Just out of curiosity. Where are you guys currently committed?

@imvegetarian2016 Hahaha I see that might work!

@Fairplay01 Hahahah I was wait listed at both UCB and UCLA and I put all my effort into my UCLA essay and just wrote a short paragraph for Berkeley because LA has always been my #1 choice (but Berkeley is a close second!)

@DynamicProphet I’m headed off to UCI unless I get off the UCB, UCLA, or UCSD wait list :smiley:

The FAQ page is probably from last year… It links to a fb group that’s over a year old.

@DynamicProphet UCSB!! @soscollegekuru this makes soooo much sense now…

is anyone going to call tomorrow and ask about the spring admit thing?

@soscollegekuru they still have the same policy I believe.

@DynamicProphet UCLA as a Regents Scholar!

@freakingout98 not anymore apparently… http://admissions.berkeley.edu/enrollmentpathfaqs

@goomba123 can you say which part of the page says so? For me it still says there are no spring admits.

@freakingout98 oh nevermind… lol that’s what i was trying to point out but now i see what you were saying. i was confused, as usual lol. so we agree. nevermind again i’m tired hahaha. sorry for the confusion :smiley:
