Some guy said his bro got off the waitlist on May 2nd last year so I guess it can be anytime lol
I’m really hoping it comes out by June 6th cause I am taking summer classes at my CC since my backup plan is stay another year at CC and June 6th is the deadline to drop without a W. I guess at this point a W doesn’t really matter anymore cause I’ll be transferring but I just don’t want that on my transcript lol! so fingers crossed either tomorrow or Wednesday!
Anyone else refreshed their portals like 10 thousand times today as well? lol
@diane6239 :(( me LOL
Hey all! I’m suuuuper late to this party. But it’s so cool to see all these awesome people on here. Best of luck to everyone.
In keeping with the trend at the beginning of the thread…
Major: Public Health (capped major)
Accepted: UCSD, UNR (I only applied to three schools total)
Waitlisted: UCB
GPA: 4.0 overall
IGETC and major prerequisites: done by Spring 2018
Essays: I felt my essays were solid. I’ve reviewed them probably a 1,000 times (lol), and I don’t think I could have done a better job of representing myself, my strengths, and accomplishments with them. Whether or not that’s enough for UCB’s standards is another question.
EC/work experience: 4-H (President, Secretary, Project Leader), Competitive Speech and Debate (nationally ranked, extemporaneous team captain), 5 years experience growing a startup from 10 people to 250, pianist (youth group worship leader)
I am SO NERVOUS for this decision!! While I’ve made my peace with attending UCSD (a GREAT school, and location), UCB was my top choice and it’d be amazing to get in. It’s been hard to be in this period of waiting and not knowing for so long.
Anyway, good luck everyone!!
Just to kill the time, I’m wondering what school you are screwing lol so that you can attend Berkeley, if accepted? (I am assuming you all have actually SIR’ed somewhere else).
@ProfessorPlum168 I’ll be screwing UCLA lol hbu?
Lol. UCSD for me!
@ak1097 just a nosy outside observer. My kid is a entering freshman, got in without the waitlist angst. I really feel for you guys, the wait must be killing you all.
I SIR’d to UCSD! Waitlisted for both UCLA and UCB. Hoping to get off at least one of them…
I might see you around UCSD, @viviantong. Would you prefer UCLA or UCB, and why?
@juliaweiland how the heck are you waitlisted?! I’m sure you’ll be a top choice.
@juliaweiland I would prefer LA over Berkeley. Being born and raised in Socal, I see my future here of being able to grow both personally and academically. I also believe that my major (Geography/Environmental Studies) would make more sense at LA, since Cal is more impacted with EECS and such. But at this point, I’m pretty much grateful with either school!
@juliaweiland Welcome to the gang!!! you have great stats, I hope it turns out well for you!
@ProfessorPlum168 I’d be screwing UCLA haha but I’m not sure yet. It’s going to be such a tough decision if I get into Berkeley. Thanks for asking!
If you have “provisional decision change” under Recent Activity, let me know!!
Lol, thanks @TheRubberBandMan!! My guess is due to the capped major - public health has one of the lowest acceptance rates at UCB. But we shall see. Good luck to you!!
@viviantong can you see it from your phone or on a desk top?
@viviantong Does CC allow you to post like a screenshot or anything? I’m so anxious
