UC Berkeley - Class of 2022 Waitlisted Applicants Thread

@lmfao89 oh of course lol i wasn’t trying to say that this means anything i was just wondering :slight_smile:

oh and guys do any of you have a ‘Download PDF’ at the top or bottom right of your notification letter? I was reading the thread for last year’s waitlist applicants and apparently the ones who had ‘Download PDF’ were all rejected… :frowning: trying to keep a positive attitude but i’m super depressed right now lol

@dld126 click view update under status update and scroll to the bottom. Click on application decisions FAQ. it has all the waitlist questions. it should be there. and for your second question that’s not true lol any decision will have Download PDF. don’t start overthinking already bro

@babuboy123 oh so the name was just changed! thx :slight_smile: and as for the reply to my second question… thanks i guess i’ve gone WAY overboard lol sorry im just so stressed out about this all this waiting that i’m sort of out of my mind

@dld126 my download pdf is at the top right, dont stress it too much :slight_smile: pretty sure none of the portals have changed yet and everyones is like that

do you guys think they’d look down on applicants who don’t put down 1st semester grades? lol they said the grades were optional…

Would it be a bad (or good) idea to send a physical letter to the admissions office detailing more information about my tenacity to go to the school? I don’t want to sound too needy, yet I do want to get in. Any thoughts would help.

y’all scared me :(( I hope 100% acceptance rate off of the waitlist this year!!! That would be historic and amazing!!!

@dld126 i always had Application Decision FAQ. I never had waitlist FAQ

@JigglyPuffs123 waitlist faqs were at the very bottom of the decision letter, in very small font so maybe you missed it? its gone now though

Oh wait at the bottom of the decision letter it says application faqs but if you click on it, it turns into waitlist faqs

if last year, the first wave of admissions off the wait list was May 5th (first Friday of May), does it look like this year will be May 3rd?

@slaskinn I was hoping for April 30th but will be happy with May 3rd. Do you know if first wave was instate or OOS?

I think they have to wait until after May 1, right? I think it will be May 3 if anything

Its usually first friday of may, then every friday after it

Guys, just curious:

Does the waitlist inform us if we are rejected or only informs us if we’ve been admitted?

It informs us if we’ve been rejected dw they’re not heartless like that

@Intelectric LOL alright
Thanks!

Or today would be awesome :x
