****UCB Freshman Class of 2024 Appeal Thread****

Berkeley is my dream school, but I would be ok with UCSD if I didn’t get accepted.

some people on the waitlist heard back just now so does that mean anything for us?

@rem3232 historically, appeals come out shortly after the waitlists. Assuming there won’t be another wave, we’re next up for the decisions.

@cjd114 thanks for the effort! Fingers crossed hoping for something today.

@2001kraft would that mean potentially later today, or a few days.

there is still a third wave supposedly for the waitlist people

@cali404 That’s where my knowledge falters, sadly. It seems to be anywhere from 0-3 days between the two results, which can still be considered “very soon” in the grand scope of things.

@kash123 Spots are filling up quickly for their pathways, so that’s an unknown. Will keep frantically checking email for the next few days :)))))

Anyone get rejected/accepted today after 2nd wave waitlist?

Nope. 0 signal from Berkeley.

nope

No.

Apparently traditional path is generally not avail. So does anyone know much about the other two options, and the pros and cons of each.

i haven’t gotten a decision back yet. berkeley has always been a childhood dream & i fell in love with it while visiting, but i’m slowly learning to love ucsb too! really sending all the good vibes & luck to everyone right now—we all deserve to be at cal & the fact we’re so dedicated to even writing an appeal & looking online to stay updated shows that. hopefully we hear back soon!

Godspeed everyone.

is anyone clear on where appeal decisions will be posted? will it be an update to the portal or is there some other way to access it?

If you are accepted on appeal you will receive an email asking you to look at your portal. A portal update will be made with a new decision letter. If you are rejected on appeal, it seems they wait until june 1st to release them.

has anyone received an appeal decision yet? i know someone earlier in this thread said the accepted appeals are notified around this date and the rejected appeals are notified on june 1st so I was wondering if anyone has gotten the appeal acceptance yet

Hey @scrambro I see that you have inside connections and have correctly predicted these wait list admission dates. Could you possibly try and obtain some info on when appeal acceptances might be made? Appeal acceptances have traditionally followed right after the second wave of wait lists so it seems unusual that no one has received an offer today. Thanks!

@cjd114 I can try, although my last attempt at info fell flat. It’s a “friend of a friend” situation, that synced up one time right around the first wave. I tried to get more info for round 2 folks and came up kinda empty.

@scrambro no need to put you in that position. Thank you for trying though.
