UC Berkeley Transfer Waitlist

Some guy named Tim said the same thing, but he was probably mistaken for either appeals or something else…

Weird, I talked to a girl… She didn’t seem to know any details about when they were released and what not, just that some decisions had been made in the last few weeks. She didn’t know what days or at what times or how many. It’s weird that she would know that some were released but not know any more deets about it. I should’ve clarified with her if they were waitlisted or appeals who got decisions, as here on CC we know that appeals have all heard back now and waitlisters haven’t.

I definitely think the reps who answer the phone don’t review the apps at all and are pretty separate from the application readers. I feel like the phone reps are perhaps getting their info about the the appeals and the waitlisters all lumped into one category and not seeing much distinction between the two. I don’t think they’re given too much information or specifics, which explains contradicting answers we all get.

Anyway, as an aside, it is interesting that the appeals heard back before us (the ones who were accepted heard back like may 31st, rejected ones heard back 6/7). It doesn’t make sense why they’d accept people who were initially rejected over or before waitlisted candidates. Also weird because with the freshmen they notified the waitlisters before the appeals.

Hi guys!

I hope you’ve all heard some good news by now. I just got off the phone with admissions because apparently my app was submitted one day late even though I turned it in the day before… Anyway - turns out they’ve already sent out who has gotten in - so if you haven’t gotten an e-mail yet, I’m super sorry but turns out we didn’t make it. Congrats to those who made it and to those who didn’t - keep working hard and show Cal what they’re missing!

@CaliGirl101 how do you know? admissions hasn’t told me anything about them releasing decisions. they don’t answer that question

@ everyone, just got off the phone with a rep who says decisions haven’t gone out yet… lol what

I hope they haven’t gone out yet :frowning:

@browneyedgirl95 we are getting so many different answers

Regardless of whether they are going to accept an applicant or not, it seems criminal to drag things out this long.

For those who are holding out hope though, Phrase 1 of enrollment does not end until August, which means those who are accepted off the waitlist should have plenty of time to pick classes before even the students with the highest priority can enroll in more than 10.5 units. Good luck everyone!

Same I called, response was decisions were not yet released

Got yet another different answer today. Admissions rep said some offers have already gone out and the last one he heard about was 2 weeks ago (so that would be the week of 6/6)… weird since the admissions facebook page said offers would be made later in mid june and the only things we saw on CC two weeks ago were appeal rejections on 6/7… He said the colleges are keeping the waitlists open until July 1st for a reason but he hasn’t heard anything about any impending waves from the colleges

The portal was just updated: “Thank you for your interest in UC Berkeley. As of June 21, 2016, the Wait List is officially closed. We wish you all the best in your academic endeavors.” So I think I am rejected. Anyone got accepted off the wait list?

I have the same message, most definitely a rejection

That’s weird. They usually send you an email and also update your portal no matter you got accepted or rejected. But the status update date for me is still April 29th. I will call them tomorrow to find out what that message means.

Same message here… So weird that the guy told me it would remain open until July 1st

Received that email. Transfer class complete, Berkeley unable to offer admission off the wait list.

Same message here. Does that mean they didn’t accept anyone off the waitlist?

doesn’t look like it, letters and science here, I’m gonna be a gaucho I guess :slight_smile:

That was one harsh message.
