Hopefully WL not closed yet. Good luck to all!

Most likely, what do you suggest?

Well, I am not aware of your preferences, so am not sure which one to recommend. Both Berkeley and UPenn are insanely good schools and you’re gonna do well wherever you end up! So yeah, all the best!

R u EECS for berkeley?

Yes

You?

Huge congrats on your offer!! :partying_face: :partying_face:
According to many rankings Berkeley is better for engineering/computer science than Penn. But again it depends on your personal preference - east vs west coast, ivy etc
Did you send any additional info (LOCI, LOR etc) after may 2?

Congratulations @Baddogu ! I can’t imagine the relief you must be feeling. If it’s okay, do you mind sharing what your email said?

Does anyone know how likely the second wave being this week is?

Second wave was done last week

Kind of suspicious that only one person claims that they got off the wait list last week…

I don’t think they actually got off. They also commented previously and said that the waitlist was closed so it’s suspicious.

yeah, and they didn’t even provide the proof (what the waitlist update email said) upon asking. So, seems really suspicious. Not saying that the person was lying but they cannot be trusted either!

You are right Tuscarora to suspect!

I called the AO and they said that WL is still open. And that UPenn will send out an announcement in a week or two of status of all applicants.
