Why do you say that? @CU123 because I am optimistic about Berkeley? I feel like i have every realistic reson to be! My friend at Berk said that the waitlist is v generous- also Berk said itself that its waitlist acceptance is anywhere between 20%-60%!! Which id say is pretty high. Additionally, UCLA accepted me AFTER requesting and getting 2 600 word essays for more info- which Berk never requested, but i can now send!! 
also thank you, i try to be v positive about everything, but i stil have no been accepted to my #1 choice school, so i feel like that decsion could really bring me down… its today!
