Congratulations @spenceyboi!!! Haas!
@lindyk8 !!! YESSSSSSSSSS I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOUR DAUGHTER!!!
Thank you for applying to UC Berkeley. After careful consideration of your credentials, I am sorry to inform you that UC Berkeley is unable to offer you admission for Fall 2015.
Transfer decisions were very difficult this year, as competition for fall admission was exceptionally rigorous. Berkeley was able to admit less than a quarter of the 96,100 applicants, including 17,200 transfers, all of whom were very well-qualified. I regret that many talented and promising transfer students will not be included in our entering class because of this high level of selectivity. I have prepared the answers to some frequently asked questions which provide additional information about the selection process and, I hope, address your concerns.
Given your academic qualifications, I know that you will receive other attractive admission offers. I wish you every success in achieving your educational goals.
Sincerely,

This is why I thought I wouldn’t get in. In fact, I was sure of it. I talked in the Additional Comments section about how family responsibilities (caring for a young sibling) made it difficult to participate. I don’t condone purposefully not doing ECs, but it is possible to get in without them. I didn’t sugarcoat this section. I left it completely blank.
Essays: I talked about a particular hardship (medically related), and how it became one of the things about myself that I loved the most and how it helped push me to be successful.
Extra:
I’m a first generation college student with a relatively low income so I guess these could have come into play as well.
One thing I will note is that I received a email inviting me to apply for the Leadership Award (even though I had zero ECs). I also got another email asking for information about my high school and a request for unofficial transcripts. I don’t know if either of these are correlated to a possible acceptance, but it’s something to think about.
Congratulations everyone! :x
