<p>Be happy~ at least you know you have not been placed in the "for-sure reject" pile!</p>
<p>I think they say filling out the supplemental applications can only help, not hurt your chances of admission. Think of how happy you would have been if you could have checked a box when you first applied that said something like, "Please check this box if you would like multiple admissions people to review your application, you would like to be able to submit information that other applicants will not be able to submit, and you would like to be able to send in recommendation letters to help your cause." I think you would have been very happy to be able to submit additional information, write an extra personal statement, and know that the application was being closely looked at. Good luck.</p>
<p>ruskie, sorry. dont mean to be rude or anything. </p>
<p>but how do you know that you got the disadvantaged one versus academically borderline questionnaire?
i was also wondering what are the questions that you have to answer?
thank you.</p>
<p>yeah you are right bessie thanks for making me realize this is actually helpful. </p>
<p>Kiiki, I got the same questionnaire you got. Also I explained in my application essays and additional information about some disadvantages I have been through. For example, my mom only makes 25,000 a year and I have very conflicting personal circumstances, so they probably wanted to know more about that. My overall academics is sub par of Cal standards so I don't think my academics is keeping me in the running. I have some really good ECs, but there were no questions about them, so I know I didn't get the special talent questionnaire.</p>
<p>okay, thank you ruskie!
i hope you get in. :)</p>
<p>If we didn't get this email, we should not submit supp info right?</p>
<p>^ You are correct, sir.</p>
<p>And if we didn't get it, we either were so awesome they had to accept us, or so lame they didn't bother to find a reason to accept us, right?</p>
<p>Or, as the old myth goes, when the little hat wearing monkeys who work for the admissions department threw your application down the stairs (along with 45,000 others) and saw it did not land face up on the fifth stair from the top, you were put in the reject pile! Seriously, it isn't solely that some applicants are lame and others are awesome- there IS an element of luck in there as there are so many more qualified applicants than there are spots available. Good luck to all of you!</p>
<p>What if the forms appear on the myBerkeleyApp, but I never received any emails?</p>
<p>^^Then you should complete them, confidentiality.</p>
<p>So if I havent gotten a supplemental questionnare at this point, is it safe to assume I won't be getting one (for both UC Berkeley and UCLA)?</p>
<p>^ Nope. We have no way of knowing exactly when they'll stop until it's March 26.</p>
<p>i completed everything but they sent me an email saying "Final Request for Completion"</p>
<p>^ That was probably a mass e-mail with your name inserted. (Assuming it said your name.) I got several after I submitted the Cal Alumni Scholarship, so the actual school is probably doing the same thing.</p>
<p>do all of the questionnares mean you are borderline?
i got the disadvantaged one o.0? whats that?</p>
<p>how long are your answers?</p>
<p>besides family issues that have affected my academics can I include how 6:00 morning swim and water polo practices tired me out? or is that just an excuse?</p>
<p>kiiki, i submitted mine already a while ago. My answers.. some were short..(work question.. "no i do not work") some were longer. I had about 2 paragraphs each. about 2000 words total.</p>
<p>oh wow! my is only like 700 words total.
i only have paragraphs for three of the questions. the rest were pretty straight forward.
hermanliu320, did you get a talent questionnaire? </p>
<p>i've submitted mine. does anyone know how we can tell if they got the questionnaire or not because i can still see my questionnaire and change the answers!</p>
