UC Berkeley - Class of 2020 Waitlist

@goomba123 haha its all good. This situation has us all stressed and burnt out :slight_smile:

I was wait listed with a 3.3 GPA. Does that mean I pretty much have no chance now?

@amoore001 everyone on the waitlist has an equal chance! You were waitlisted for a reason :slight_smile:

So on my spring admit page, when i clicked the link to go to a Facebook page for fellow spring admits, the fb group name was “uc berkeley spring transfer admits”
today was the day that all transfer students heard back so I’m guessing my applicant portal just got that page added to it by mistake, but it was definitely meant for a transfer student

@freakingout98 Thank you. I’ll calm down.

@Fairplay01 I did, I put a lot of effort on the essay, I talked about why I wanted to attend UCB and also mentioned some significant chances in my life that involved leadership.

I talked about how I did well at a debate tournament at Berkeley, despite being the only underprivileged black there

@amoore001 That must be really, really insightful! What course are you doing? And I certainly hope you get in!

@thatbassclarinet Haha nice! Did you relate your reason as Berkeley specific ie. the academic programs or the culture over there?

My supplemental essay was nothing related specifically to Berkeley… did anyone else do this?

@Proliarix I did too

Does anyone know if the amount of people from your own high school that accept the admission offer affect the chances of getting off the wait list?

:bz

To be honest, last month I would have gone to Berkeley in a heartbeat. Now, the luster has faded considerably and even if I get in off the waitlist, I may stick with my other school.

@Fairplay01 Yes, I wrote about my love for scientific research.

@Back2school36 Same, I think I’ll just go to only UC that accepted me UCR

Does anyone know when people start getting off the waiting list?

Well, today is the last day to SIR, so I would imagine anytime after today.

Nervewracking af

Good luck to everyone on their aps!! I’m trying not to think about the waitlist too much but it’s so hard
