***UCB Class of 2023 Freshman Waitlist Discussion/Stats***

@aki2000ful Ok and thank you for the great response!

Iā€™m hearing that many (possibly most or all?) getting off waitlist are being offered Freshman Pathways and not traditional entry. Not sure if thatā€™s true but seems to be the trend. My DS opted out of Freshman pathways other than traditional and is still waiting. He did not want to go FPF over his other top choices. It could be that if you didnā€™t opt into FPF that your chances are lower since they are trying to ensure entry without overflow/impactedness - if thatā€™s a word.

I wasnā€™t offered the options on the form, like a few other people on here, but Iā€™m not sure if that has any bearing! @Mojo88

@seniorturtle I applied engineering and on my waitlist opt in form there was no option to mark if you wanted to do FPF or any other pathway.

Engineering does not offer different pathways. Thatā€™s only for L&S (and perhaps CNR)

@ProfessorPlum168 Thanks for the response, hopefully this fact does not lower my chances of getting admittedā€¦ Iā€™m praying for the second wave to accept some engineers.

Thatā€™s right, FPF was only an L&S option.

@milsanghvi someone got into engineering undeclared (the most competitive major I think) in the 2nd wave last year, so we have a chance

i havenā€™t really seen many physical science majors off last year or otherwiseā€¦ anyone know what the deal with that is?

Whenā€™s the deadline for the first wave (that came out on Tuesday May 7th afternoon) to accept by?

Today

so i hear a lot of in state and oos things but does anyone know about internationals? preferably specific to CoE

@trademistakes Berkeley prolly has a higher yield w STEM and so the seats are already mostly filled up. So they need less ppl from the waitlist.

does an accomplishment like INTEl update help with waitlist. I didnā€™t get to update them on that in my essay but idk if i can emale them

Did anyone get into College of Environmental Design? Most of you are in L&Sā€¦ I am so nervousā€¦

Has anyone submitted any letters of continued interest?

@dbragen1118 I know that some people did, but the admissions officiers replied saying that they couldnā€™t consider them

Are people speculating the next wave is on the 17th?

Everyone hoping 2nd wave tomorrow (17th)
