@hailey5799 'ppreciate the advice. I’m not gonna exactly be debt free tho cuz it’s gonna be 15k total, and I’m not getting any financial aid so that’s prob gonna cover like 30-35% of the costs at most. But that’s still a big deal. What’s more intriguing to me are the research opportunities and priority reg
@xaambi I saw that too and thought it was weird, apparently it wasn’t there before. And I guess someone on this thread called and they said they’re not releasing anything before. Best not anticipate any early releases and get ready for the 27th instead
@ericbadmon it’s been there since day 1, I remember thinking it was weird!
But for the past 2 years (and I’m sure more) UCB always releases on the names date, I think around 3pm.
I already asked admissions on twitter about that, they said its coming out on the 27th, I wouldn’t hope for anything sooner.
@ericbadmon Good luck whatever you choose, I’m sure it’ll all work out!
@ericbadmon the priority registration and research opportunities are huge influencing factors for me that would make the decision between the two harder then I expected.
Never mind!
Did anyone else get an email to apply for the Cal Alumi Association scholarship?
yea. i think every single applicant got that email
How do you know? @bobaboi I was just curious.
As email said, " The scholarship is separate from the undergraduate admission process and receiving this message is not a guarantee of admission to Berkeley."
I did not receive that email, so it was not sent to everyone.
@stellazz1226 I know that, I didn’t imply it was a guarantee of admission all I asked was did anyone else get the emial and then at person above how do you know everyone got it? Thats it.
i just feel like its so unnecessary for them to send that email to us. the deadline for this scholarship is due April 23rd. and we dont even know if we get in or not at that point
@bobaboi Agreed, like we’re applying for something that there’s no guarantee we’ll qualify for since admissions come out about 4 days later. So we put all the work into our app and then don’t get in.
sigh*
I didn’t receive that email. Really hoping it doesn’t mean anything 
Edited to add: I didn’t apply for financial aid. 3.86 GPA, applying from a CCC.
anywhere else you applied to? @hailey5799
dont worry. it doesnt mean anything
UC Berkeley Office of Undergraduate Admission and the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships to release any and all information included in my Application for Undergraduate Admission and Scholarships to the Cal Alumni Association, provided that such information is used for the purpose of evaluating my application for the Alumni Scholars Program
I just copied that from the description of the Leadership award… I know they said it doesn’t meansyou got in… but I can’t help but hope…
right now im waiting for decisions from cal and cornell. im so nervous. if i get in cal, i would go for sure.
