@magiebaste how would it be a mistake? did you get 2 emails from cal? are you able to log onto cal central?
I got two emails around 4 pm. The reason I think it is a mistake is because my portal says something like "you have been admitted for. Like it doesn’t say anything after for, my major is blank. And when I try and sir it doesn’t load. Have any of you had this problem please let me know asap. Also it’s really weird that 3 kids got in off of such a small thread in the grand scheme of things idk.
when did u submit ur appeal? @magiebaste
I submitted it a couple days before the deadline I don’t remember exactly. @hiyahiya123
@hiyahiya123 I think I submitted my appeal around April 24 to April 25
Mine says that as well, but I think that was just a typo/automation fail. Mine said, “It is our pleasure to offer you admission to the University of California, Berkeley for . You have been admitted to the College of Letters and Science.” Because everyone in the College of Letters and Science starts off undeclared, the major variable was most likely void. For instance, if someone were to have been accepted to the College of Engineering, there would be a major listed there. However, since I technically don’t have a major, this variable does not have a value. @magiebaste If you were admitted to a college where you start off undeclared, I would not worry about it! If you continue to face problems with your SIR process, just call the admissions office. You were definitely admitted… lol. It wasn’t a mistake.
congrats to everyone who got in! out of curiosity, did anyone get rejected yet? is it safe to same everyone who didnt get in is screwed?
also in previous years, did the people who got in hear the news before the rejectees?
AHHH so nervous waiting for my appeal decision :(( seems like I’ve been rejected if I haven’t heared anything yet. sigh
BTW CONGRTAZ TO EVERYONE WHOS BEEN ACCEPTED YOURE AWESOME WOOO GO DO GREAT THINGS IN CAL !!
Hey Everyone !! Just made an account for this thread hahah ^~^ CONGRATS to all those admitted ! I havent heard back yet, too scared to check & no emails
@acpadt @xxMemesxx what is your plan for the fall? I have decided to do FPF in San Francisco
I’m considering that, but still unsure! @magiebaste
Will more acceptances be handed out later. It seems as if about only 5 people here were accepted and there are about 30 spots. Will they hand out acceptances on a roll in basis. Has any out of state person gotten accepted?
@magiebaste I’m stuck in between Global Edge London and FPF!
@Kashdog Most of the people who were accepted will not post about their acceptance online, let alone on this site. If 5 people on here got in, it’s likely that a bunch more were accepted. Berkeley also says that they don’t reserve spots for appeals like they do with waitlisted students so it could vary on how many are accepted each year
@pleasgod yep makes sense that more were accepted. But will they hand out more acceptances later as more spots become available? I know from years past acceptances were handed out in mid may then later in late may/ late June
@Kashdog on the portal it says “Your appeal request has been received and you will receive a response by June 1, 2017”. Maybe those people were transfers or they changed it this year?
Checked the last year’s thread. It seems all the freshman decisions were released on a earlier date and the transfer’s were released on a later one. Rejections were released later than both and all at once. So, now it might be pretty safe to say those who haven’t heard a result yet are very likely to be rejected.(>_<) But think about the positive side, now you can stick to your previous plans and try to make the best of the next four years in the college you have committed to. So it’s high time to leave the sadness and frustration during the application behind and keep fighting!
@davidzz If you look carefully on last year’s thread you’ll see that not all rejections were released later. Not all rejections were released together. Two people got rejected with the first batch of acceptances. It doesn’t make sense for berkeley to release all the acceptances with some rejections early and then release the rest of the rejections later. If Berkeley has all the rejections why wait until later to post them all? Why not just post them right away and finish off the appeal process and be over it. It looks like Berkeley still has acceptances to give out.
@Kashdog I really hope your right. I want to believe in this so badly, but at the same time I’m not sure if I should even have hope anymore about this. I feel like I’m just on track to disappointing myself.
