UC Berkeley Transfer Waitlist Fall 2019 Thread

Wait then wouldn’t it mean that there aren’t a lot of people in the waitlist so they will just put all of the waitlisted students in one wave only !??

Or the worst scenerio is that they do not have enough staffs and there aren’t a lot of spaces this year…Idk man…

Well maybe not all. It just depends on number of seats open

T_T let’s hope for tomorrow…

Btw I like the duck on your avatar :heart: I used to have some of them as pets

Thank you :3

Hey everyone, I’m appealing my decision for Haas and have been watching this thread for quite some time. I made an account because I think I have some info to add.

A while back someone on the appeal thread called the admissions office which stated that decisions will not be rolling but will be regular this year. So I called Haas admissions on May 20 and spoke to a program manager about this. This person stated that decisions will be regular (one wave) and will be released before July 1.

I believe someone on this thread mentioned that waitlists and appeals receive decisions at the same time. This means that Berkeley planned to release one wave from the beginning for all of us (assuming that I was properly informed).

I know this is weird and inconsistent with previous years but I hope Berkeley has strong reasoning for doing this.

Anyway, assuming this is true, this would explain why the admissions office still says “before July 1” because they are preparing you for the possibility that decisions may be released in the last week of June. Additionally, appeals and waitlist correspondence (correct me if I am wrong) were due not too long ago and its going to take them awhile to look through everybody’s application and make a final decision. So, probably expect decisions to be released in the last week of June if not June 30 at 11:59 PM (just kidding, hopefully).

So maybe the question to ask today of the admissions personnel is if it is going to be one decision date or rolling. I can’t imagine it being one date because they will want to fill all spots.

That’s what I thought @vexed2death
I also think that UCB will just release one wave this year but the problem is that if they delay anymore than this week, a lot of students won’t make it because the deadline for housing is literally coming very soon
And we will be torture mentally for days T.T

I don’t think it is going to be just one wave, because normally the appeal is one wave, while the waitlist is trying to fill up all the space, so don’t give up just yet, it might be today or tomorrow

I agree. I’m sure the admissions office is aware of housing deadlines, etc. I think they are doing their best and perhaps have had some sort of setback.

:open_mouth: Only one wave? Well let’s hope it’s sooner rather than later!

I haven’t seen any more discussion about the site being down and then decisions available after that…does anyone know anything?

Hope it’ll come out today!!!
