<p>Just curious. Does this indicate having a higher acceptance chance?</p>
<p>I did. However, I’m not sure about the statistics like how many got accepted from the pool of applicants who received a supplement.</p>
<p>i recieved the borderline supplement which had about 14 questions asking about the school and ur parents, friends</p>
<p>I did, but it was most likely due to me being disabled with a heart condition.</p>
<p>I received the talent supplement earlier this year</p>
<p>Edit: Yes, people that receive the supplement have a higher chance of being admitted (33% compared to the applicant pool acceptance rate of about 20%)</p>
<p>There are different types of supplements? Mine didn’t indicate a specific one, but it sounds the same as the one @LostPuppy1993 recieved. Borderline as in almost accepted or… rejected?</p>
<p>@fl1p1npr1d3: What’s the talent supplement? Ahh, it would be a dream come true if I was admitted into UCB.</p>
<p>i was asked to fill out a supplement but that is because i have a physical disability. do you think this will helpmy chances of getting in?</p>
<p>@fingerscrossed11: i did some research on the subject and from what i’ve read, supplemental information really is meant to help your chances. it’s up to you, depending on the how well your answers are to their questions. since the one you recieved is in regards to your disability, i’m not sure what the questions were like. i received a different one. i read that, in a way, UCB asking you for supplemental information is like allowing you to dictate your admission! i wish i had known all of this sooner. i would have perfected my answers! best of luck. </p>
<p>p.s. i like your username! very fitting for this website :)</p>
<p>tranceltation - my son received the talent one last year and was admitted to Undeclared Engineering. I asked Ms. Sun about it. She said it was sent to those “who could make a unique contribution to the student body” and is not for borderline students. My son was a nationally ranked athlete. It asked all kinds of questions about time spent training, events participated in, challenges of participating in his talent, etc. There are two others - one for borderline students and one for those with disabilities. It’s a good thing to get a supplement. It means that they are looking at your application more closely. It kind only help you, not hurt you. Good luck.</p>
<p>I received the borderline, disabled one. Except…I’m not disabled! Not to any extent that was reported. So, I had no way to answer the questions and just filled out 1st semester grades</p>
<p>@momfirst3: Thank you for the information! It helps. I hope the supplemental information I provided proves favorable tomorrow evening when decisions are out 
does your son now attend Cal? If so, what were his H.S. stats and does he enjoy Cal?</p>
<p>@Laurennn123: Probably should have called UCB and told them you weren’t disabled! Maybe they sent you the wrong supplemental form?</p>
<p>Yes, he does attend Cal and it was his first choice school from the beginning. He loves it there. He had very high stats - 4.73 weighted GPA (4.0 uw), 34 ACT, 3 SAT subject tests (780, 770 and 700), 13 AP classes (10 5’s and 3 4’s), National AP Scholar, Class Rank #1, 4 year letterman with too many awards to list, CSF, NHS, Mu Alpha Theta, and a nationally ranked athlete. I hate listing all of this because I feel like I’m bragging… He did very well in high school.</p>
<p>@momfirst3- ohh wow your son sounds incredible, makes me sound like a bum! haha
@trancelation- shoot i feel like i shoulda spent more time filling out that questionaire now! and yes my username fits how i feel right now :)</p>
<p>YOu are definitely not a bum. He’s just weird! haha The funny thing about him is that he is so normal. He’s totally athletic and into sports, loves the beach and music. He told me about orientation where everyone had to say something about themselves - people were saying they were into building robots, playing multiple musical instruments, science competitions etc. They get to my son and he says “I play tennis and I like to go to the beach.” hahaha</p>
<p>I got the medical condition one… 
i was accepted to both UCLA and UCSD. anyone know what my chances would be now?</p>
<p>why sad face? be proud you got a questionnaire! if you don’t mind me asking… what is your medical condition? i’m missing half of my right arm if it makes you feel any better :)</p>
<p>i’ve heard a rumor that if you get into ucla you have a lower chance of getting into cal and visa versa…? same with davis and santa barbara. im not sure if thats true though thats just what ive heard.</p>
<p>ahhhh i’m so nervous for tomorrow 
goodluck to everyone!</p>
<p>@momfirst3: your son DOES sound incredible! you must be very proud what year is he in @ cal? </p>
<p>@fingerscrossed11: thanks, good luck to you, too! i’m so excited for tomorrow.</p>
<p>No truth to the you don’t get into both UCLA and Cal. That’s just a rumor. They both look for different things so many don’t get into both, but it has nothing to do with being accepted to one or the other. My son did get into both so I know it’s possible. </p>
<p>Thanks, trancelation. I am very proud of him. I still can’t believe he did all of that. I don’t think he slept for years. hahaha. He is a freshman. He has decided on EECS.</p>
