im starting to think that access denied is actually a waitlist as a matter of fact, or that these indicators are useless

1110

Yeah that was a crazy surprise. Did not see that coming with so many top notch applicants.

1111

let me rephrase that, you dont even qualify for admission if ur below a 3.4W OOS

1112

Right, that makes more sense. Sorry i thought you meant they just won’t even allow you to apply.

1113

it says u need a min 3.4 oos and min 3.0 in state on the uc website

me too, makes little sense that someone with an ivy league acceptance would be rejected from UCB, but you never know.

1115

really? idk cause that’s my calculation, my school doesn’t do it though, we use IB diploma predicted grades

1116

None of the UC’s break out waitlist stats by college and major. Most of the waitlisted students that are admitted by in the College of L&S.

1117

+1 same

1118

Do we still think that “I am not coming to Berkeley” is an acceptance?"

100% it is. other two indicators are questionable and we cannot assume

Guys she said so herself that she calculated the gpa herself (and the UK doesn’t calculate GPA). So it might just mean that she calculated it wrong.

Let’s just stop speculating so much and causing unnecessary stress and wait till decisions are actually out.

1121

whats ur score out of 42 if u dont mind me asking? i do the ib too! maybe you’re calculating the gpa wrong?

1122

We don’t know anything for sure, we’ll know soon enough

1123

also the ib counts as uc recognized courses so that prob boosts ur gpa up quite a bit!

1124

i mean from ur profile u got into grinnell and scripps. im assuming you are quite a high caliber candidate!!

I am doing my second language as language A and fourth language as Language B (I speak 5 in total), music student, 37/42 so it’s not strong in any sense. I guess I am a bit less common since I am a musician and the academic standards just gets lowered? Perhaps


1126

37 is definitely not a 2.7 or whatever it is u said lol

1127

Oh yeah but I kinda had a nice interview with the AOs, I got rejected straight from Wellesley and Bryn Mawr, and deferred from Barnard

1128

did u apply as a music major? in that case 37/42 is well enough then imo :slight_smile:
