UC Berkeley - Class of 2020 Waitlist

@anxiousenior1 hi, im planning to major in business at Berkeley. Do you think not receiving regular fall admission will hurt my chances of getting accepted into the business major my sophomore year? Like do you think my GPA/stats will be affected by not receiving fall admission?

@yoyohi I’ve seen your posts about Tepper and Stern, and I believe you already committed to Tepper. I would just go to CMU because you are guaranteed into their business program while Haas is a toss up. If you really want to go to UC Berkeley, do the Fall Program at San Fran or Berkeley. The credits are transferable to the main campus and the only thing you may miss out on perhaps interaction with the student body as a whole. The FPF program has around 700 students if I remember correctly, so you would be taking classes alongside those 700 for your first semester before heading to the main campus.

On behalf of admitted L&S OOS students, thanks for the congrats :slight_smile: I’m super excited that I got admitted, so here is some info for future waitlisted students:

-SAT: 2230
-GPA: 3.9 UW
-OOS
-portal waitlist FAQ changed from “waitlist FAQ” to Admissions FAQ" with SIR details at least 30 min before the 4:00 mark
-option to do either of FPF San Fran, global edge, or January start

For all those still waiting (esp. in engineering), if your portal changed, I believe that may be a good sign - it seemed that most of today (if not all) was L&S admissions, so don’t lose faith yet! Good luck, and I’m sure you’ll all do well in your alternative schools if you don’t receive an offer.

Can someone call and point-blank ask when EECS/the rest of engineering is going to be released, if at all? It’s been super frustrating to see all these L&S admits and still be left waiting.

I literally just made an account because I’m so confused
I was accepted, OOS, for L&S. I have to respond to the offer by May 16
I cannot find my financial information anywhere, clicked ‘My Finances’ on the CalCentral thing but it says that I do not currently have financial information ready to view.
Anyone else having the same issue trying to find the expenses?
Also, I wasn’t accepted to normal fall admission bleh just the San Fran and Global Edge thing and I don’t really understand that…

I’m in state and L&S so this is bad.

I just got accepted off the waitlist L&S, OOS. Congrats to everyone else who did as well! Does anyone know where I can see my financial aid award or when it will become available?

Nevermind, found it. F*cking $62,000 a year

@amoore001 same lol

OK so this confused me really hard when I was looking for it, but on the right side you have to read all of the Notifications,one of them will be about an incomplete Financial Aid thing. You have to accept the conditions of that before they show you your disgusting bill

I read all of my notifications, but it still says I do not have current financial information available

Don’t get discouraged, I read your wait list statement and thought it was excellent! For those if you that did not make it off the wait list, hang in there!

Got in for College of Engineering, In-state and for fall admission

@rcs9816 It’s like the most annoying shit ever, you have to keep refreshing until it says something about financial task not being completed. Once you click ok on that, your ‘My Finances’ tab will be updated with information

hey guys I’m curious to find out where it tells you whether you’re doing FPF or spring admissions, because I don’t see any of those notifications right now. Can anyone help me out with that? Thanks so much!

I have to admit things are getting pretty nerve racking at this point. I don’t see much chance for additional international students to get in. Sigh…

That was for amoore001

@Rashmeasure what are your stats? Also does anyone think there is hope for me as an engineering student in eecs?

thank you @Radiohated
