It’s funny, last year, Berkeley called me several times. UCLA only called me once, lol
It’s possible that the two schools call different students a varying number of times. Just speculating, but they may actually be competing for you. I remember you saying that you live a lot closer to Berkeley than LA, so it may be that Berkeley is more certain that you’ll SIR with them, and you have. LA probably calls students who were admitted from NorCal a lot more than the ones from SoCal because the former are less likely to go to UCLA than the latter. I went to Santa Monica College, so it’s possible that Berkeley called me so much more than UCLA did because of the likelihood that I’d SIR with UCLA instead. It’d also explain why UCLA only called me once; they knew with a high degree of certainty that I’d SIR with them instead, and I did.
All speculation, but this seems to be the best explanation of these two schools’ approach to getting students to SIR with them.
