Somewhere in the annals of this thread's reports on the time of recipiency of the Berkeley emails is evidence that the alphabetical theory is incorrect...
I can understand the holistic review of LA/Berkeley seemingly rejecting "more qualified" applicants. What I don't get is the similar pattern from Davis, which most certainly DOES use the point system.

no school will ever make all the right choices in admissions. don't forget that they are trying to create a well-rounded community, not just an institution of geniuses.

I dont think its the AMOUNT of ECs that count on an App. i think its ewhat you do with them. EVERYONE HAS VARSITY SPORTS SORRY!!! However.. when you put your varsity sport WON STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.. THAT is a strong EC...
As for the letter. I honestly think those who didnt get a letter are automatic reject cuz I NEVER got one for UCLA and I got rejected..... getting a letter doesnt necessarily mean u got in tho.

as for the uc's that use the point system, let's not forget that it is composed of more than just gpas and sats. minor and major leaderships, talent, first generation, adversity, etc. all count towards your acceptance. a student who has a sat of 2000 and parents who attended college is on the same level as a student who has a 1750 and parents who did not. not to mention that uc's love when students hold jobs. sucks i didn't know that going into the admission process.

not to mention that after some snooping around, i discovered that a couple of students that i would never consider Cal material received the "worth the wait" email, while other students that i know have been accepted or are going to be (some are regents, others should have been) never did receive any email. it is just doesn't make any type of sense to assume it means acceptance. it goes against logic.

OoPurestOo: I recall a bunch of threads of people calculating their point totals. I think several high 8xxx's got rejected while some 7xxx's were accepted. I know people tend to overestimate their activities, but I don't think it would matter by 1000 points.
kittycat123: I didn't get the email for UCLA either. (I got in though)

myBerkeley app says:
The system is undergoing some maintenance. Please try again after 1 p.m. Freshman admissions decisions will be released on Thursday 3/27.
Thanks for your patience.
They could be preparing for the decisions, which are going to be released on Thursday.
