They delayed because a budget wasn’t passed I think? Hopefully it won’t be the case this year.
I did not get that option either
wait im so confused…why do some people have the options for the other pathways and some don’t?
@dyosay2 It’s because some people applied to engineering and there is only one pathway for CoE, the traditional pathway.
@dyosay2 According to one of my friends at Cal, the Fall program for freshman is like a “training wheels” kind of thing with smaller classes and you live a little further from all of the other dorms on campus. She said that it really helps you get your footing at Berkeley, but you can miss out on some core experiences by not being with the traditional pathway students. Not sure how much of that is true, but that is what she told me.
Hearing back by this Friday is really early! I was expecting to hear back on the 7th because that is when most colleges released it last year. I will call them tomorrow and ask the undergraduate admissions committee when they are thinking of releasing decisions
Has anybody noticed irregularities in their Cal portal page? some people reported seeing the Admissions FAQ instead of the Waitlist FAQ, 4 addresses instead of 2, etc. in past years.
@pythonc mines says decision faq but links to the waitlist faq. Anyone have 4 adresses? I only have 2.
@Ajchen Mine says the same things as you
Hi guys, I really want to get into Berkeley, and quite a lot of ppl at our school got in. I have a 4.29 when applied, 4.24 rn(sorry i slacked a bit), 34 ACT, 800 in SAT math ii, chem and physics. My essays are like OK, not great, i feel like I could have wrote better. There are some people with statistics like mine who got in to UCB at my school. I have been stressing out for the past month. What’s my chance of getting in? What about getting in round 1? also as a reference with those numbers I got into UCSD and I am in state, IDK if they are helpful. Thank you so much if you can help answer.
Also I am applying as mechanical engineering
I heard from the admissions office that decisions will come out within next week and then throughout the month of May
My major is architecture, not engineering… why I could not choose pathway?
https://admissions.berkeley.edu/first-year-pathways Maybe I know the answer. Most programs are available to students admitted in College of L&S… I am in College of Environmental Design, so I don’t need to worry about other pathways…
The reason some people (including me) didn’t get the options for freshman pathways MAY be because they will not be 18 by the start of fall quarter??? You have to be 18 for global edge. This is just my guess.
@19High8 Did you call them?
Emailed my regional officer
I’m 18… 
@19High8 When did you send the email?
