UC Berkeley Class of 2021 Appeal Thread

What’s your major @missingno01

@missingno01 Are you an in-state or out-of-state applicant?

In-state, undeclared L&S

are you still going to SIR even though you are undeclared? @missingno01

SIRed on the 18th! was previously going to UCSB L&S with the hope of transferring into CS so it was an easy choice.

what did u write about @missingno01

Nothing too special, Mostly just listed what I’ve done in the last few months(clubs, hackathons, volunteering), a few (smallish) awards I won, and mentioned that the completion of a fairly impressive culminating project(wrote essay about this on my application, but wasn’t completed till march). I also did my best to spell out my upward GPA trend, and emphasized that changing high schools mid year had hurt my GPA a bit. Overall nothing Shakespearean or profound, just a general recap of what I’d done since I submitted my application and some explanation for the weakest part of my application(GPA).

oh, when did you submit your appeal? @missingno01

Around 2 hours before the deadline

@missingno01 what was ur Sir deadline? the 23rd?

Yeah

So does this mean decisions after the 23rd will likely be rejects ?? Since last day to SIR was the 23rd ??

@theboifromlala The deadline of the 23rd to SIR was only for people who got accepted the 17th. And admissions said that more freshman acceptance will be released until June 1. So there will be more acceptances.

Nothing today. Tick tock, tick tock. Did anyone hear anything?

@Cycologist Nope, nothing. :frowning:

@Cycologist nope

I know it’s been thought to have no real significance, but I have 4 addresses again

@amoghden what do you mean 4 addresses?

@md9877

Some waitlisted/appealed applicants (including myself) have noticed that periodically the"Verify Address" box on the right side of the Map Portal will display 4 addresses instead of 2 (Mailing and Permanent Address are both shown twice, once with an extended zip code and once with the usual 5 digit zip code).

I don’t think anybody knows what significance this has, but just throwing it out there.

@Kashdog Thanks
As june 1st nears has anyone heard back or from another person ?? I’ve gotten no emails - tbh im seattling for my SIRed school now cuz its a reject from appeal. But its ok !
