Confessions of an Application Reader
Lifting the Veil on the Holistic Process at the University of California, Berkeley
(in case the link doesn’t show)
I read this a while ago and found it pretty informative and interesting. Hopefully it gives you guys a better perspective on this topic.
@UCLAorUCBTRNSFR Yes, I also see “About HSSEAS IEI”
@williamyang wow, that was a really great read! I especially like how the author mentioned how UCs should be more transparent of what exactly they’re looking for to help better students and their families. UC apps seem to be straight forward, but it does get tricky. For instance, there’s all these college admissions services that people offer who claim they are experts on how to craft the perfect app.
Heard the prerecorded message…oh man…4/26! I was pinning on 4/21!
Hoping it’s a late April Fool’s joke haha. Seems so strange to release decisions on Wednesday
I honestly wouldn’t be so nervous if I had a response from other schools. (which makes me regret applying to so few schools but oh well)
@InTheNightSky95 SAME! For some reason I thought it would be better to save money and apply to the schools I’d actually consider going to. Now I wonder if I should have paid the money just so I would have some piece of mind at this moment.
Still can’t find any reasons why they release the decision on 26th. It is against their tradition + they obviously know we all are waiting for 21th and desperate to see the decision. There is no f****ing reason for 26th !!! omg sorry for my language. I am so done… you know…
@4UCBClay SERIOUSLY HOW I FEEL
I guess 26th wednesday makes kind of sense since UCI had their large batch out yeserday and UCLA never actually stated when they will be releasing their decision but we all assumed it be 21st 
im kinda glad cuz if i dont get in to UCLA, i only have to wait two more days to see how Berkeley comes out. Haha
Do you think it would be this weird thing where they just announce a later date for whatever reason they may have but it’s actually the initial date?
We all expected it to be the week before Berkeley, since it’s always been like that. At least last year. Or maybe they’re re-reading applications to exclude few people due to large amount of pools D:
I want to believe.
I forgot about this when I called and I’m in class rn, but when you guys called did they say ON or BY the 26th. I thought I could handle a couple extra days, but the fact that we could’ve started counting down today is like :((
Honestly the 26th makes a lot of sense because it hasn’t always been tradition for UCLA to release decisions a week before Berkeley. When my sister was transferring in 2014 she found out about UCLA the day before Cal
@Orangered123 when I rationalized this to myself, I wondered why I should pay to apply somewhere I really didn’t see myself attending. But now I’m wondering if nowhere is better than anywhere lol
myUCLA is pretty unhelpful
Either they fixed the bug or I didn’t get in
Hoping they just fixed it
I was able to create a MyUCLA account using my UID (University ID number) - most people don’t get a UID and instead create an account using a different number. I’m hoping this is a positive indicator?
@FutureBruin Are you able to see summer classes, etc? And what’re your stats?
Yes, I’m able to see summer classes but I have limited access to other features.
Summer classes is an option but I haven’t tried to enroll because I don’t wanna mess anything up in case i do get in
The old trick was that if you could see your financial aid you were likely in, and it got posted a few days earlier than announcements
