UC Berkeley - Class of 2020 Waitlist

No doubt there will be at least a few more acceptances going out. They now know exactly how many total people did not SIR to the original offers. That happened only as of midnight. So they are going to now know exactly ho many slots they can offer. They couldn’t have completely known that before midnight. Whether that changed the final number in a large or small way, who knows?

@cc3737 unfortunately I dont know the percentage. They try to replace you with someone from your country (doesnt have to be your school) who withdraws their application.

@kaanddd so a lot of people withdrawing from the same school wouldn’t make any difference at all?

@LordCommander well, you need to compare results with other schools. For example in my country Turkey, my school received 7 acceptances and total acceptance is around 16 for entire Turkey. So 5 people’s withdrawal from my school is a benefit for me. However I dont know about the other countries and how many students receive acceptances. If there are tens of ( maybe hundreds of) acceptances in your country, 3 people’s withdrawal from your school would not give you a major jump

@kaanddd you mean regardless of their majors or their schools? If I’m applying for engineering undeclared and a lot of chem eng students (under school of chemistry) from my country withdraw their applications, does it mean my chances will probably increase?

I also just want to say that yesterday seemed to be all Letters and Sciences and in State so anybody not in State or Letters and Sciences I would still have a lot of hope.

@robogineer1649 really hope so! crossing my fingers and hoping for the best! it really would be a dream come true if UCB accepts me T_T [-O<

Anyone taking a guess at when the next wave would come out? It seems Berkeley is acting faster than last year.

got accepted off waitlist for college of l&s! but does anyone know how I can decline my admission? I know for sure I don’t wanna go & i want others who really wanna go to be accepted off waitlist

i am waitlisted for L&S and an in-state applicant. does anyone know if there will be more acceptances for people like me later on?

@foreverp I would just call admissions.

Has anyone called admissions about next wave?

@1Katniss I might I have been debating it.

I called. There will be another wave this week or early next week. Everyone admitted from wait list will need to choose FPF or Jan Start. Regular fall admit won’t be offerred. I wonder if next wave will be Mon after current wave SIR deadline passes.

@1Katniss Jan start for all majors? Or are you talking about Letterss and science only?

wait so no fall admits is offered for waitlist in general??

@1Katniss Does that mean no engineering is being offered because there is no FPF or Jan start for engineering?

She said there will be no regular fall admits from wait list but info seems to vary depending on who answers phone. Maybe call and ask.

@1Katniss Oh my god I will call.
