hey it is almost a good sign for berkeley to get rejected from la they like to only take you into one of the two in order to keep their enroll rates up! i know plenty of ppl rejected from la who got into berkeley

@getoutmeswamp That’s what I keep telling myself.

I got rejected from UCLA but I was missing a prereq. Hoping for an acceptance from Berkeley though. Friday can’t come soon enough

@getoutmwswamp you’re my best friend right now.

How many other people were able to get UCB emails?

can someone help me out? how do I sign into cal net to check this sir thing. I dont know my Cal Net Id, and there is no option that I can see to reset it?

@transfermom18 I got a UCB email.

@gonewiththeair Hey think about it if we’d gotten into UCLA, likelihood is Berkeley would’ve rejected us, so this is a good thing! Think positive!

Even if I would have been accepted to UCLA I couldn’t go. I have a family and a job here.

Applied: UCB, UCSC, UCLA, UCD
Accepted: UCD, UCSC
Rejected: UCLA
Pending: UCB

I got a ucb email and accepted or not you already know I’m gonna use that email every time I apply for a job or something

Now I feel like I should have applied to UCLA just to see if I’d get rejected :))

Wishing everyone the best of luck as these admissions keep rolling out.

**edited out, @hailey5799 corrected this - thank you! :slight_smile:

UCLA and Berkeley, although both top tier UC schools may look for different types of students. While UCLA may not have been a fit, Berkeley may very well could be - good luck to everyone!

hey there, what was the link that you went to in order to check your SIR deposit?

@hopesolo Last year UCLA has 22000 applications, and had 25 percent acceptance rate, no they decreased it significantly:
