UC Berkeley Waitlist Thread

Since you guys are using this address theory, how many addresses does everyone have now?

I have two addresses on my page for the past two days now but before that, I had four addresses for three straight days.

this whole waiting game sucks. its hard to get super excited for UCSD when i dont know if im eveennnn going there but shit i cant complain! anyone going to SD if they dont get into UCB?

UC also got a whole lot more funding this year to help aid a larger acceptance of californian residents

did anyone else refresh their status update 10 times around 12am on the first like i did lol

It’s super hard to commit to UCLA while waiting for Cal. I’m really anxious. Did anyone get in on the first wave last week or was it all rejections?

Four addresses appear in my portal again. Do you guys think the school releases some decisions within today?!

@dragondo8 Doubtful. That said, I would be cautiously optimistic. If the address came up again, I would guess they are updating your admissions decision. Wait for Friday for confirmation. They’re probably going to update all the information on the admissions portal today and tomorrow with the release being Friday.

And can I wish you an early congratulations? With a knock on wood of course.

@dragondo8 is that happening right now? is it switching back to 2 then 4 again? who else has their portal doing this? mine isn’t :confused:

@aero24 Same. I know I statistically won’t get in and my chances are low on the whole, but I just really haven’t still resigned myself to the reality of rejection. I want to go so damn badly.

@xaul95 mine isn’t either. Hoping that they are doing this one by one, and we all get that as the day continues. It’s only the morning currently.

@xaul95 Yeah, though I am not sure four addresses appear since when, this is still happening right now at 11:48 Wednesday, June 7, 2017 (PDT). @Orangered123 Thanks for your wish! I am really hoping that all of us in this thread are admitted off the waitlist for this year.

@Orangered123 right. well it happened to me also during regular decisions. everyone else’s portal had 4 addresses and i never seen it on mine. maybe it happens over night for me idk. hopefully they are doing one by one like you say.

has anyone tried to call admissions again to get info on the first wave?

@xaul95 People have asked on Twitter. Admissions only seems to willing to say, “before July 1st.”

What do you mean when you say you have 4 addresses? Where is this information found? Are we talking about email addresses?

@sarah38 When you log into your application portal, on the computer, if you look at the bottom right your home address is listed. On mobile it you scroll down your home address is there. Most of the time these are two addresses of the same place, sometimes though they show double and have four addresses.

The guess is that when there are four addresses showing, it means they are updating your application. When admissions first came out that meant acceptances, waitlists, and rejections. Right now that would only mean acceptances if they updated. Again, this isn’t confirmed, but I personally think it’s how it works.

@ssully I got into UCSD as well. I know what you mean, it is super hard to get excited about the amazing school you got into because it’s your second choice behind UCB and UCLA. It’s messed up! Does anyone know when UCB notified waitlisted students last year?

@Orangered123 What did you write about in your essay? And did you include updated grades?

@MysteriousSoup http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/discussion/comment/20694895#Comment_20694895

I did include updated grades. I’m somewhat worried about that. My grades didn’t go up nor down since the original application. It’s good that they didn’t go down, but since we’re supposed to impress them being on the waitlist, having the same gpa probably wasn’t that great.
