UC Berkeley Transfer Waitlist Fall 2019 Thread

Please

ok. who is calling admissions today?

I called them and it seemed a bit odd. She told me that we’ll know by July whether they want to accept me & others on the waitlist or whether they decide NOT to even LOOK at the waitlist or take anyone off of it. Soooo this is feeling crazy

Thanks for calling…not very encouraging indeed…

That sounds like they haven’t even started looking at the waitlist… .-.

I called admission, they told me we will know by the end of the month. Don’t give up hope guys.

Has anyone asked them why they’re much later this year than previous years?

admissions have given very wrong information in previous years as well

nothing for me

anything

not today at all either

I just called and the guy I talked to didn’t sound super sure but he thinks that some waitlist decisions have been released. He also said that they possibly just haven’t gotten to everyone yet (?). But he also wasn’t sure if they would be released in waves or what was going to happen. I can never tell if what they are saying is accurate or not. :neutral:

^ Yeah I called and the lady on the phone also told me that they don’t have any updates but just that it’ll be before July 1st. She also mentioned (albeit rather uncertainly) that some students on the waitlist have already been notified.

My worst fears have been confirmed. The first wave already went out . last time this happened , june 20th was when decisions were released.

do i need to make a calnet account to find out if my application has been updated? or can i log onto MAP?

Well lets hope for the 20th and that its good news for all of us! This wait has been rough.

If any lurkers on here got notified PLEASE make an account and post. A lot of us have a bit of angst…

i dont think its fair to assume any decisions have been released till somebody confirms they got a decision. Nobody on here seems to have heard back and the admissions officer I just spoke with said he doesn’t believe any decisions have been released yet. While its possible that nobody on this discussion got in, and that the phone reps are wrong, we can’t confirm anything for certain.

I’ve been lurking for a long time and yeah, @ucberkeley2019 's reply is totally reasonable and logical. But then again, if they did release then it just makes sense that there were an extremely low number of people that actually got in. It makes sense for the people who did get in to not even check this forum.

yeah id agree that the only scenario which is an exception to my comment would be if berkeley over-enrolled the transfer class already and could only admit a tiny number of people, none of whom happen to be on this forum. No clue what the chances of that are.
