UC Berkeley Transfer Waitlist Fall 2018

@LoganKilpatrick what about you? what’s your alternative plan?

@diane6239
That is a solid play. I’ve been at CC for 2 years and I am ready to transfer. I tagged into Irvine already so That’s my backup. I’m also on the waitlist at UCSD and got provisional acceptance at Harvard. I was thinking about staying at CC for another year because I enjoyed the experience so much from an educational point of view, however I think for my career and personal life I need to switch. But I interviewed for a really cool new job at Apple so I may put my academic pursuit on hold if the offer they give me if good.

I hope I get into Berkeley, get the job offer, and much more. Hopefully lots of good problems to have to deal with.

@LoganKilpatrick oh wow looks like you’ve got a lot of pretty cool options to choose from. Well let us know what you end up choosing. I hope you get into Berkeley too!!!

Ayaya I hope something will come out this week. The waitlist process IMO is just excruciating and cruel. I don’t mean to complain but there are plans needed to be made. Still hopeful though.

@bicboi88 I agree. The whole process is too long to wait for ~ Anyway, stay positive Lol.

Hey all!

So if the next wave of decisions is this week then some individuals will probably be seeing signs early on. That being the case, has anyone experienced the “4 addresses” glitch or one of the cal net glitches?

@OdinFox nothing yet for me

@OdinFox nothing on my end either. I think usually the glitches start a day or two before it comes out. I’m guessing we’ll start seeing stuff around Wednesday. Anyways good luck to us all. and I do agree this process is not efficient considering how much we will end up sacrificing because of the lateness of those results.

I dont see any glitches too

finger crossed hard both hand

Thanks everyone for checking!
My portal is also looking exactly as it was before, let’s keep an eye out I guess!

For those who signed up for a calnet ID as a summer sessions student, did you contact someone to change your status to fall 2018? My class enrollment section on calcentral only shows me information for summer 2018.

@LoganKilpatrick I’ve seen people interned at NASA being waitlisted(CS) for Berkeley before. I mean it is reasonable to reject or waitlist people only having a 4.0, and sometimes I think they didn’t take me because of a lack of excellent EC or working experience. Now it seems like even with internships at places like NASA or even Apple, you still get a chance of not being accepted(in April lol). Sometimes it confuses me how they select students “that will complete the class.” Anyway, with your experience I believe you will be able to make a difference wherever you transfer.

edit: it is interesting to see Harvard offer you provisional decision tho, I think they only take several transfer students each year.

Some people got accepted with 4.0 only but some people don’t. Can’t really see how they selected students! We would never know ~

Honestly the admissions process will leave you completely confused, at least in my case it has. I’ve seen people with less ECs than me and far easier home lives get into berkeley for my major. Although it could very well be that they have something the school wants which I don’t have.
(To be completely honest though it could be because I’m an international student and they don’t really want anymore of us.)
Regardless, I wouldn’t even waste time trying to figure it out because you will only be left disappointed by the answer.

Are they going to release waitlist today?

@ucbbbb we hope so! my gut tells me it’ll be tomorrow tho. hopefully we start seeing signs soon!

I hope so too!! Have anyone seen their address become 4?

@ucbbbb

Nope, nothing here!

Someone received any result for today?? :x
