Can somebody tell me what the email says?
it was just an email that told you about the next steps when you get your admission decisions such as the first year pathway and the waitlist
@iris126 Thank you!
Did anyone NOT get the email?
what does the email know?
I’m guessing it’s an e-mail sent out to everybody just to fill the void between now and the long wait to the end of March.
mean*
But it says March 29th or before… :-?
Did anyone Not get the email?
Guys this email is no different than the “Happy New Years” email they sent out during the holidays… its for all the applicants.
Hi, guys… UC GPA 4.31, SAT 1550 - will DD have a chance at early admission?

@happygal2017 did you check all your email categories? S’s was in promotions.
Ditto. In promotions folder.
Hello I studied in an Indian curriculum school and my grades are pretty good if not the best, grade 9 -9.8/10 CGPA, grade 10 - 10/10 CGPA and grade 11- 89.9 % (its freaking tough) and grade 12 predicted score given by school - 96.4%(IDK how). SAT 1440 750-M, 690-R; and ACT -32 with a superscore of 33(if it helps) Toefl -110. I have had around 350 hours of volunteer service and I guess my essay is alright, not the best but pretty good. I have done 1 internship in Robotics and CS(my intended major so I hope it helps) and a summer Program at Boston in Robotics and involved in a lot of cricket and basketball 9 through 12. Also I have Subject tests : 800 on math 2, Chem and Phy.
I live in Bahrain so sports opportunities are minute, although I was in the reserves team for Bahrain National cricket team and went to Malaysia for the ACC U-16 cricket cup and also inter-school cricket events and am active in basketball in my school although we have no proper tournaments or organization.
I wish to pursue Robotics and have made that clear in my essay and tried to show my love for it and why I am interested in it. I have strong Recs and I love going to MUNs, I have been to 13 MUNs including one inside UNHQ in New York where I won a verbal mention and have won over 5 wards. My activity essay is based on MUN conferences. I dont really aim for Scholarship, tution should be fine.
I took the ACER examination for Science and Maths(not soooo prestigious) and got 100 percentile internationally and high distinction in maths. I also was a part of a cricket tour to India under CFI( cricket federation of India).
I am part of a global community at Young Scientist’s Journal (www.ysjounal.com) and am an editor and have edited over 15 articles based on Science. I am also part of a community called Young Coders who are working on making a website.
I wish to major in CE or CS and am an international student living in Bahrain, what do you guys think about me?
@hbrunner do you have to be a top applicant to get admitted early? Or is one half, top applicants (the regents scholars) and the other half random?
@confused6789 my impression is it’s only “top applicants”. The early acceptance letter last year said something about letting top applicants know early so they have more time to consider Cal. I have no idea how they determine “top applicants” as every admitted student to Cal is incredibly impressive and the early admits are not solely based on stats.
Do decisions come out in waves for UCBerkeley? How did the decision release look last year? Should we expect some of our decisions to come out late feb/early march?
I am an international applicant. Received an email from UPenn to apply for the Financial Aid. Should I apply for it? I fear chance of acceptance will reduce as it will be taken as need aware category? Pls. advise. In the email, they also mention if you apply for financial aid, your application will be considered under need aware category. I request all, from your experience pl advise me what I should do? I am unable to decide, pls. help.
@heroind I was an international student. I don’t think it will reduce your chance, but I don’t think you’ll get any need-based financial aid. As an international student, you’re actually supposed to prove that you have enough money to attend school here. So, if you’re worried that your chance might be risked, I wouldn’t do it. Just my 2 cents. good luck.
