Note that this “top 9% in your high school” (Eligibility in Local Context) is based on your UC-recalculated GPA meeting a threshold UC-recalculated GPA from a recent past class at your high school, not your rank calculated by your high school.
Note that having either “top 9%” does not guarantee you admission to any specific UC campus. It means that if you are shut out if UCs that you apply to, you will be offered admission to another UC if there is space available. In the recent past, the UC with space available has been Merced.
@scertuik: You are jumping the gun since decisions will not be out until end of March but based on last year’s procedure, you opt into the Waitlist by April 15th. There is an optional waitlist statement you can submit.
Topics to use for the statement may include: Awards and recognition obtained since the point of application, Explanation of any course changes, challenges faced since the point of application. Please remember there is no right or wrong answer, simply the opportunity to share additional information.
@losername UCSB honors program allows priority registration which is a huge perk and if used wisely can potentially lead to a better overall education/experience. That said, the two schools are two ends of the spectrum in terms of physical environment, social environment and academic environment. Evaluating honors vs regular would just be the tip of the iceberg in determining which school would be better for you.
Worrying about abbreviating classes for my “General Education/Breadth - College of Environmental Design” form that I need to fill out by January 31 at 11:59 PM. Any suggestions?
Hi
Is there results thread (stats)specifically for Berkeley EECS 2023? I couldn’t find one.
Also, if you have applied for EECS : if adcoms do not consider your app, is there a chance that they offer an acceptance as undeclared?
Thanks
@Eastcoast234 If you look at the top of the forum next to the page numbers, you will see a little magnifying glass. Click on that and type what you want to search for. I searched for “EECS 2023” in the Berkeley forum and all the threads that mention that come up.
Thank you @ikg4answers!
Usually I search as you mentioned. But I found general Berkeley results thread but not specific to EECS. Will try again though and thanks for your patience!
What day does UCB early admits release? I have seen a thread for early admits stats but have no idea when UCB would release early admits? Any info.
Thanks
Wow, is it that time of the year already? My S1 graduated May last year, and my S2 is EECS junior. He’s a regents scholar, I remember he got the early admit and regents invite, around 3:30 on Friday 2/8, or 2/9? 2017. Can’t remember. So, based on the pattern of last years, Cal could very possible send out early admits this Friday!
Good luck everyone! If you are not admitted early, don’t panic. My S1 was admitted at regular decision time near the end of March.
Does anyone know if a recruited athlete can be a regent scholar? My OOS S will be playing a sport for Cal next year but he also has extremely high stats. Wondering if has a chance to be a RS.
For the past few years (I think 2016 maybe the first year?) Cal has sent out admissionS to some students in early February, second Friday of February as far as I can remember. Most of them are also invited to apply for the regents scholarship. I don’t know if there’s any OOS regents scholars?
I truly don’t know what the criteria are. I guess high GPA helps but it definitely is not the only thing Cal considers.
This is based on our personal experience and hope it helps!
A small number of students will receive notification of their decision in February. Most of these students will be nominees for Regents’ and Chancellor’s Scholarships, a process that has traditionally been initiated during this time of year; the difference is that those students and some others are receiving admission offers at the same time. Early admission notification is not Early Action or Early Decision. Students cannot apply to be admitted early. The majority of freshman applicants still will receive their decisions at the end of March, via the MAP@Berkeley portal.
Here is what I know from something I received last week from UC Berkeley - so it appears that students will start hearing in the next day or so.
“Late next week, a small number of freshman applicants will be notified that they have been admitted to UC Berkeley. Last year, roughly 8 percent of our fall 2019 freshman admits were notified of their admission decision in February, the majority of whom were candidates for our Regents’ & Chancellor’s scholarship. The vast majority of freshman applicants will receive an admission decision on March 26, 2020.”
