Anyone else still thrown off by the fact that the portal hasn’t changed at all to show submission of an appeal? Am I missing something? I did appeal to other UC’s due to a substantial error on my application and most portals changed to reflect acknowledgement and timelines regarding the appeal and it’s process.
Looking at previous threads, the appeals and the waitlist for freshmen this year, were sent out first two weeks in may for freshmen and exactly a month later for transfers . No changes occur in the portal except the faq link changes from a decision FAQ link to an admitted Faq link on the day you are admitted.admission will come out in two waves - first and second week in june rolling. I am 90% certain as of right now.
expect faq changes in portal if you are accepted by next week.
rejections are usually sent last two weeks of june and july 1st.

this thread shows you what to expect.
@Lanjicucksmoke I hope so! I just want the decision by the time I graduate because I have to give the speech at my CC commencement and the college Pres. traditionally announces where I’m moving on to… yikes. I mean, I still have other options, but UCB is my top choice.
Just got off the phone with admissions, i asked if we would be hearing back June 1st or July 1st and she said they don’t start really looking into appeals until after june 1st because that is when they get their SIR’S. So to not expect a decision by tomorrow. I also asked if we would hear back through email or if we just need to keep checking our portal, and she said they won’t ever let you know you got in through email. Instead you’ll get an email saying “an update has been made to your portal.” I wish they would give an exact date, but for sure It will be this month. Good luck everyone!
So i just called admission office, and they finally told me why I got rejected…they said they never received my supplemental form, which caused automatic rejection. I called them few times and they never told me the reason before I submitted my appeal, so i didn’t even mention about this situation. I simply just talked about my new and compelling info. What should i do now…? I’m so confused now.
Can you still edit the appeal letter? If not, I guess your best approach is to send an email explaining it. But I think the appeal committee is a different group and not admissions per se, meaning will they even see the email? Try and find out the direct email for the appeal committee (not admissions).
@Ohm888 I’m pretty sure there’s some people who didn’t turn in form, automatically rejected and appeal but they probably mentioned it on appeal unlike me They said I can’t resubmit my appeal atm cuz they are trying to release the result soon. I think if you turned in appeal they atleast open your application again. So I hope it worked.
Currently have four addresses on my portal, let the speculation begin.
What’s the supplemental form? Is it Transfer Application Update?
@AnotherDimension I think the general breadth form.
^^ The form you filled out in January (or in their case, didn’t fill out).
when do u guys think they’ll release the decisions
the 10th of june
is that a speculation based on previous years?
I heard so from someone on the waitlist threads who had talked to a rep close to the school. Wailist and appeal decision come out at the same time. But still not a confirmation of course.
If that’s true, that would be super early! I wasn’t expecting decisions to be released until the end of this week or early next week at the earliest based on previous threads. That would be great if it were tomorrow though!
Has anyone gotten a response? A friend of mine just got off the freshman waitlist, so it seems that freshman waitlist and transfer appeal decisions are not being released simultaneously.
Still, I hope the decisions are forthcoming!
@bikdiponabus Are you sure your friend was waitlist? The Waitlist for freshmen closed I believe last month on the 31st, according to the frosh waitlist thread.
This is no way to live! lmao- This is stressful and I’m only on here for my sister.
Was Freshman’s wait list released at 3:00 or 3:30 this year?
