@audblock Go to UC Berkeley’s course selection for your major for the Spring 2018 if it is still up. Also check the course selection for Fall 2018. Call Cal’s CS dept and ask which courses are usually offered in the Spring.
by any chance do you guys know what a domestic applicant with foreign credentials be considered as? i’m a us citizen who’s currently living in a foreign country. would I be considered international or OOS?? i read the international students page that berkeley posted but it doesn’t say much on there… so
@chicalmom @WaitingforGodot4 @soccerjumper Does accepting a place at UCLA affect my WL to Berkeley?
@Desiree2 No. Berkeley encourages students to accept a place at a college. There is no promise that you will get off the waitlist. It will not affect your Berkeley chances. Good luck!!
It’s may 1st bois
First batch prob comes out Friday the 4th?
Come thru plz ;-;
I’m assuming everyone has SIR’d to their 2nd choice college, just in case. Has anyone put down a housing deposit as well? I’m worried about DD losing out on housing at Davis but don’t really want to shell out more money at this point.
@chicalmom i did because if i lose the opportunity to live on campus, that would be even more expensive
i SIRed to Davis too. i remember reading that if you put down a deposit for housing it’s possible to have that money refunded. You would lose $75 out of the $500 for housing and $250 from the SIR submission @chicalmom
Are most major waitlist decisions released on first Friday? I think L&S CS was released later than others last year
Called office of admissions – decisions will all be out BY June 1st… hoping for this Friday, anyone have any info on that?
@sklaskinn LMAO
The admissions office said by June 1st?
If my dumb arse waits another month I’m gonna freak. Heck the dorm deposits are due soon
I was checking last year’s thread, and people started getting responses on May 5th (the first Friday of May 2017) around 3:30 pm PST. Someone also said in the thread last year that the admissions office told them that decisions would be released by June 1st, but for a lot of kids it was before then. Not sure if it’ll be the same this year, though.
@lilmisschattrbox could you please post a link to the last year’s thread? Thank you!

@PTMtime i checked the 2020 waitlist thread and there was an OOS L&S comp sci major admitted on the first wave
For the class of 2020 first wave was on May 2nd. Email around 4 pm.
Seems like a lot of people opted in for the waitlist this year… Past year rates were around 50% for opt in but this year it seems like sooo many people opted in!
@lmfao89 it’s what everyone feels every year. We’ll find out soon!
Looking at the 2020 waitlist thread, it seems that some people got emails like on last week of april that they’ve been admitted and will receive official confirmation later, who knows if it’s true.
