UC Berkeley Waitlist Thread

yeah what time did everyone got theirs? if we dont get it today it means others have no chance at all

Accepted. Congratulations to all who received good news today as well!

Anyone able to see their financial aid award yet?

Any economics major got accepted?

Congrats everyone!

what time did everyone get their acceptance??

also, do we get informed if we are rejected? or no…

My major is economics too, but I didn’t hear anything…

Found out after 4 pm.

@Indecisiveness33 No, I cannot see my financial aid award yet.

@bluedude by looking at waitlist/appeal threads from last year, people were informed if they were not accepted.

I received an email to check my portal at 3:45 (similar email to our Apr 28 email).

Congrats to all those who got it, I heard they were rolling out decisions all week in order of last name hopefully more of here get some good news. Also I’m curious anyone admitted to poli sci? Go Bears!

Woah just checked this thread after a long time. HUGE CONGRATS to everyone who got in!!

Any of the CogSci majors on this thread hear back yet?

@Orangered123 Sorry for the late reply, but I focused my essay on my passion for community-oriented design. It was 2 pronged; the first half focused on Berkeley’s Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation, and how their courses are unique in that they’re project-based and afford students hands-on experiences. I specifically cited a project done by Fall 2015’s DES INV 190-1 class (Critical Practices) that really inspired me. The latter half of my essay focused on a public design experiment I did in the previous apartment I lived in. I didn’t know any of my neighbors and I thought it’d be interesting to create something that would get people talking. I created this whiteboard installation in our apartment elevator, and it ended up fostering lots of interesting conversation. That installation prompted our building manager to create a FB page for our apt, and we even hosted some backyard BBQ’s! My essay was kinda unconventional but I thought it’d be an interesting supplement for what I wrote in my original app, which was how I’d utilize an interdisciplinary education in CogSci to build a strong foundation for a career in design.

So what do you think guys, was today a last day to get in ? Ps cs major here

@nikita1923666 I’m not sure because there is still a chance that more acceptances will be released throughout this week and those who were offered admission might even decline (which I am considering) and reopen spots. It’s just so hard for us to predict unless they explicitly say it’s over.

Yeah, judging from what the remainder of what everyone has been saying, I think today has been a L&S acceptance. Looks like nothing yet from College of Natural Sciences, there still is a chance.

@BlackDragon209 wow, are you actually appealing as computer science major? If so, the appealing and waitlist may be in the same pool since me and another cs guy didn’t get any message as waitlist students.

So my friend and I got accepted today, my last name was E and hers was Q. She didn’t write an opt-in essay if that gives anyone extra info. I did write an opt-in essay.

@aaron497 where did you hear about decisions coming out by last names?

Congrats to everyone who got in!!! I’m assuming today is the last day, in that case I guess it’s another year of CC for me :slight_smile:

Like people have already mentioned, judging by the those who posted that they got in today, it seems like all were L&S students. This is confirmed by a person who I know that also got in today who isn’t on College Confidential and she is also a L&S major. I searched twitter, IG, and other socials to see if anyone posted anything today and the few I found were also L&S majors. Unless all non L&S majors that got in are lurkers or not on CC at all, then this seems to be the case.

Not to give people false hope, but there is still a chance that decisions are still rolling depending on major. I personally feel skeptical and have kind of accepted I didn’t make the cut (although I’m not a L&S major), but hey who knows!

I got in.


L and S. Cognitive Science major.



They are giving us to the 26th to accept. My last name starts within the first three letters of the alphabet, if that helps. Congratulations to the fellow accepted folks
