UC Berkeley Class of 2026 Waitlist/Appeal Discussion

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

So I just called them regarding the status of waitlists and where they currently at their review stage of freshman applications. Their response was that waitlist and appeals are currently being reviewed on a case by case basis. They also said that they plan to release waitlist/appeals by June 15th.

Curious. Our portal doesnā€™t show our appeal but we got a confirmation that it was delivered back in April. Is anyone elseā€™s appeal not easily shown in their portal?

I also donā€™t see my appeal in the portal, but I have the email confirming that it was submitted

Congrats on UCSD. When did you get accepted, and what major please?

I guess you might be right that it is rather just a summer meltdown. But I think this upcoming week might be a wave of either rejects, admits or even a waitlist update on the timeline to release decisions because in a call last week they said they are hoping to get everything out for freshman by June 15th

Thank you so much. I appreciate that. Keep in mind that I am in-state, and a transfer applicant.

I received an email from UC San Diego on Friday, June 10th at 7:22pm to be specific.

My email from UC Santa Barbara informed me of my acceptance off of waitlist on May 27th, at 5:10pm.

Both dates are on a Friday, in the evening. Idk if that helps in any way :confused:

Good luck to us all and I really hope we all receive acceptance to UCB. I am insanely proud of all of youā€” at the very least weā€™ve been waitlisted to one of the best schools on the planetā€” so many highly highly highly intelligent people that I know have been rejected to UCB. Great job everyone!
