^Has anyone gotten an email? I don’t think anyone has gotten emails from Berkeley other than like the update ones from last weel
So last year 7977 students were waitlisted. 3971 students opted in. Out of those who opted in, 2136 students got accepted. So 53.989977% lol
What do you mean? I got waitlisted for undeclared L&S.
Tomorrow is the day!
Good luck guys! Hope it comes out tommorw
@lmfao89 How do you know there are more people that opted into waitlist this year?
last year the first and biggest wave was May 5 at 4pm PST no one got in before that. It was a complete mix of majors and schools, but there may have been more L&S. My daughter experienced no changes to her portal, no glitchy things, nada. Just an update to her portal at 7pm est.
Where are this year’s waitlist and opt in numbers? Can you send me a link?

@Bnhdmom Ah i was just saying thats what it seemed like, I’m actually not sure if there are more people this year and I dont have exact numbers
I don’t think we will know this year’s waitlist and opt-in numbers until next year when Berkeley publishes the CDS (Common Data Set.) CDS for past 20 years can be found in
https://opa.berkeley.edu/campus-data/common-data-set.
Waitlist numbers are in “C. Freshmen Admission” section. For past three years, waitlist admitted/opt-in has been > 50%. But 4 years ago it’s only ~20% and 5 years ago there was no waitlist. I personally feel that the waitlist pattern for last three years is related to this story
http://www.latimes.com/local/education/la-me-ln-uc-enroll-20151109-story.html
Note that the target is to “enroll”, not just “admit”, more in-state students across all UC campuses. By deferring some admission decision to waitlist, it gives UC more control to meet enrollment target.
@soccerjum Thanks! This was really helpful.
Wait, so does this mean more IS will be accepted off the waitlist?
More IS get accepted anyway because they make up majority Of applicants
@bonusoceans Not necessarily, I guess it depends on how many in-state SIRed. If those SIRed before May 1st already reach the enrollment target, then they don’t have to admit more IS off waitlist.
To me, it would make more sense that OOS waitlist kids will get off because OOS students don’t get much financial aid, and less likely to SIR, so probably more opportunity for OOS kids on waitlist
Holy crap I’m so scared. Tomorrow is going to be hellish at school
Lol true. I hope it comes out tomorrow and I hope it has good news for me
Also it makes sense that they would release tomorrow so that all of the angry rejected students and their families can’t harass the admissions office for the weekend
@Bak619 if they are angry enough they will call on Monday 
haha
