I want to thank everyone for their support as well. I really looked forward to checking the site every day.
Hello everyone, sorry for not checking this thread recently since I was on vacation and now I’m back for summer school.
First of all, I just got a rejection email as well, CS major.
Second, my friend (also an international student) did the appeal, so he was advised by a counseling service on his application to do the appeal. From there, he just knew that Berkeley did actually over-enroll (not like print out more tickets than available seats, but more than the regular trending number of admissions every year). That’s why I was also informed that Berkeley would release first wave results on June 10, but it’s a surprise that they wait until today just to reject all of us.
The third thing is, since he is currently on vacation back in his home country, I could not contact him immediately over phone to see if he’s got accepted, and to ask more information for all of us (about if there is anyone accepted from waitlist). I would wait until he replies my email then. But I would encourage anyone who is still holding a little dim of hope to call the admissions tomorrow. Because it sounds very strange to me personally that there is actually no one getting accepted from waitlist, at least in this thread. And usually, the rejection letter would be sent on July 1 after waves and waves, so by saying that, it means there is no wave at all this year, they don’t even bother to look at our waitlist opt-in forms I guess? It’s very irresponsible to me and I hope we can get them clarify this for us…
And last but not least, I wish you all the best in the future. Berkeley is good, but you are more excellent than that at anywhere you go. So let’s fight for the future, it’s a joy for me to be in this battle with everyone.
If any of you go to UC Davis, I hope to see you there in a CS class hehe :x
@Tillamookie I really want to give you a bag full of big ? btw
I feel the need to treat myself as well as everyone here with a bunch of sweet snacks to get over the salt that Berkeley gave us lol
Hey anyone taking a gap year to reapply again
Naw I think it’s time to move on. I’ve already decided I’m going to apply to Stanford for grad school though. 
@Raiymbek after seeing the way they treated waitlisted students, I won’t bother reapplying
I just check my UCB portal, nothing for me… no update… I can nervous and still waiting for decision.
I have a feeling they won’t bother updating anyone’s portals. I think the email is the final thing.
@LilacSoul wait whattttt me toooooo !!! Haha i might see you in a near future then
I already did a gap year during community college so it’s a waste of time to take another gap year. I might apply again during the first year at Davis if I still cannot move on with Berkeley, otherwise if I’m happy at Davis then well I will not try for something that doesn’t belong to me…especially after all these days of waiting painfully.
but did you check your email? None of our portals changed…
Yeah my portal is not updated either, but I think the email speaks out all.
Yooo I’ll totally be posting on the Stanford thread on this forum when the time comes lol @Justabanana
Ha! I love it Banana! Ya - we’ll all be licking wounds tonight…and you know what - it’s ok. It really is. We’re sad, frustrated, pissed off, and this too will pass. We’ll end up at great universities and will have forgotten this…
Yeah they stated in the email that the transfer class has already been decided so there isn’t anymore hope that we should hold on
Instead, there is only salt -.-
big time salt
It’s even saltier that there seems to be no wave, if there are several people getting accepted, at least in this thread, I will not be that disappointed because yeah it shows Berkeley did actually care about waitlists.
This stabs in my heart even more painfully because it goes against all of the trends through previous years.
@charon36 - I agree - I think we all do. What a slap in the face to have the first communication be rejection…I really had my hopes up for this week. I’m frustrated with their estimation system and whoever made the decision to take so many admits…
I’m buying ice cream and planing to watch The Suite Life of Zack and Cody tonight lol
Need to somehow find a way to swallow this amount of salt
Oh, since I am traveling now, so I don’t check my email often. Yes, I got reject.
