<p>Lets attempt to make another inference.
So many of you have gotten the likely letter from UCLA, myself inclusive.
But there is no such letter coming from UCB.</p>
<p>Do you know of anyone/is there anyone who got the likely letter from UCLA, but got rejected from Berkeley? last year.</p>
<p>If there arent many such people we can infer that if you got the UCLA letter, your chances at Berkeley look good :)</p>
<p>there has been a berk likely letter sent out feb 7 about the celebration of women in engineering and the invitation to that</p>
<p>^^ to women only or no? Would suck cuz I didn't get that letter and I applied for ME. T_T</p>
<p>I think it's not that hard to predict if someone will get into Berkeley (as long as they're in state). OOS is harder. If you're in state, and generally have rather good grades and scores, you're probably in good shape. The likely letter from LA is a good sign.</p>
<p>The women in engineering... I'm hoping it was only for women?</p>
<p>There was another thread somewhere discussing this, and I think that guys were also invited (which seems a bit weird, but true)..</p>
<p>yes guys were invited. (you don't have to be a woman to support women's suffrage or anything else related to women...)</p>
<p>was the women invitational if you applied to EECS only? seems like a lot of people didnt get it on CC.</p>
<p>"was the women invitational if you applied to EECS only?"</p>
<p>No. I applied Engineering Undeclared and got it.</p>
<p>oh man... I didn't get it :(</p>
<p>Got both UCLA so called likely and UCB so called likely 'UC Berkeley Celebrating Women in Engineering' both of which said the same thing essentially</p>
<p>"Thank you for your application to the College of Engineering at UC Berkeley! Although Cal has not made its admissions decisions yet, your application is among those that we consider highly competitive. "</p>
<p>Maybe I'm an anomaly but I didn't get the "Celebrating Women in Engineering" letter last year and I got the UCLA likely letter / into Berkeley for EECS . My friend, on the other hand, got the invitation last year but was rejected from Berkeley (He did get the letter from UCLA). I can recall two more friends receiving the UCLA letter but still getting rejected from Berkeley. I'm not sure if the Berkeley invitation has any significant meaning to it. </p>
<p>However, the UCLA letter is a likely letter. They invite you to visit the campus AFTER admissions dates are posted. They wouldn't do that unless you are a likely admit. Everyone I know who got that letter was accepted into UCLA.</p>
<p>I don't think you can reach that conclusion. There are cases where the admissions doesn't happen after the likely letter so getting one doesn't 100% entitled admission.
But that doesn't make a likely letter not likely (that is why these are called likely and not confirmation letters).</p>
<p>Also there are only 20% of admits gets likely so 80% get admitted without one.</p>
<p>oh...do you only get the letter if you applied to College of Engineering?
I applied to L&S.</p>
<p>indianinLA, do only 20% of admits recive likely letters for UCLA? or ar you talking about UCB? Do you know what % of admits get accepted without a likely letter for UCLA if u were talking about UCB?</p>
<p>^^^: I'm not sure about the %. I just gave it as an example to state that only a small % gets the likely to begin with but it is still not 100% confirmed admissions and a large % actually get admitted with a likely letter.</p>
<p>Shubham92: Since the letter comes from college of engineering in all three cases hence it is most likely separate from college of letter and science.</p>
<p>Too bad I didn't apply to engineering at Berkeley. But BioE is really popular and they don't have an alternate major spot.</p>
