What other schools have you all SIR?
any update yet?
I SIR to Irvine but UCB isnt letting me move on . I really want to go to UCB but this wait is painful.
I SIRed to UCLA but I feel the same way. It’s hard to fully commit yourself when you got the possibility of Berkeley dangling right in front of you. I wish they would just tell us already! This has been worse than waiting for the original decision.
I think you have to let it go and assume you’re not getting in. If you do, it will be a lovely surprise. From what I’m hearing, UCB doesn’t let a lot of people in from the waitlist.
I didn’t SIR to another school. I plan on staying another year at my CC and reapply next fall cycle. I applied to UCB, UCLA, UCSB, and UCSD. I got into SD and SB but was not leaning toward attending. I was really hoping for UCLA or Berkeley but I got denied by UCLA and am waitlisted by Berkeley.
I really don’t want to sell myself short in this matter, so I am really hoping to get off the waitlist but this wait is killing me.
@HATETOWAIT47 I am waitlisted for EECS too.
Hoping we get some update tomorrow even if it’s unlikely. This week is quickly becoming the longest in my life.
Hey guys, I’m also waiting for an update.
Also I’ve been lurking this thread for quite some time, I hope all of you guys get accepted my back-up plan to is stay another year at CC
Seems like there’s a lot more of us waitlists this year. Hoping that translates to a higher acceptance percentage. Like for Berkeley’s freshmen waitlists, they accept a large number of students onto and off the waitlist. Close to fifty percent of waitlisted students get accepted.
This wait is killing me. Since we have a couple more days before our dreams might be crushed or less likely to happen, let’s dream for a little while more. If you get accepted this Friday, how are you going to react? Scream? Smile like crazy? Call your family first thing? Not tell anyone for a whole day? Post on Facebook? Drive up to Berkeley ASAP and buy some Cal gear?
Me too, I don’t think I’ll be accepted so I haven’t thought that far ahead.
i would probably cry tbh. but i’m also ready to deal with a rejection. i do hope we all get in cause i feel like waiting this long should make them realize we are committed to UCB
btw do you guys think they’ll update our application around 3pm-5pm or just randomly?
also i feel like once people start seeing the 2-4 addresses then we can predict somethings gonna happen
I think it’ll start coming around 3-5pm on friday. Yeah, the 2-4 addresses signalled something. I thought they meant that they were reviewing the application and were making updates/changes in it.
I’d probably be depressed for a while if I don’t get in tbh. I just have a weird feeling that I will get in but I know that the chances are really low.
yeah i remember ppl started to notice the 2-4 addresses the april 27 before decisions the next day. and also freshman waitlist noticed it too the day before they were notified during the first wave
i’m just hoping i get a notification on friday or even before july 1 cause then it will forsure be an acceptance
Already getting things set up for my other option, but the first thing I’d do is call up the school and cancel everything and tell them I’m going to cal lol
