<p>My best guess is that it’s better than 1/2. I tried to find some stats on it, but couldn’t. So I looked at a bunch of the past posts and based on my own experience, and others who got in and posted (like me) after the supplemental Q. thing, I base it entirely on “more likely than not”. Ok, not too scientific, but I keep remembering someone a few years back saying “they’re looking for a reason to admit you”, so I guess the answer is, if you don’t completely screw up the supp q. and you actually answer (vs. ignore) the request, it’s better than 1/2.</p>

<p>well looking at CC posts is not really an accurate representation of those stats considering that CC kids are generally “better” than the average populace.</p>

<p>and that CC kids are about <4% of the applicant pool.</p>

<p>The huge majority of Cal admits do not receive the supplemental questionnaire.</p>

<p>Also, the vast majority of rejects receive nothing.</p>

<p>It is a small number of students where they are still making up their minds. Some borderline. Some with special talents. Some had faced significant life challenges.</p>

<p>I agree with beatchick</p>

<p>they send a supplemental for a reason, they wouldn’t want to waste their and your time if they didn’t wanted a way to accept u (100% sure)</p>

<p>I’m so nervous!</p>

<p>I got the supplemental questionnaire, and I don’t know what to think. I guess we can kind of gauge what the stats <em>might</em> be if we start our own tally on the site?</p>

<p>^ You should think “it’s a good thing!”</p>

<p>In 2002, the acceptance rate for those who get the supplemental questionnaire was almost equivalent to the acceptance rate of the applicant pool (25% at the time). Roughly 1,800-2,000 applicants were referred to the Augmented Review pool, and 400-500 were admitted. I don’t know if they hold the same standards anymore though.</p>

<p>^ I don’t think so…</p>

<p>all of the people I know who receive the supplemental got in to UCB and UCLA respectively.
They wrote darn good essay though, like super duper ones</p>
