The Official UCB Fall of 2014 Decisions Thread

<p>@jenling01 If I can recall a post I read a long time ago, you attended RHC? </p>

<p>@music1990 UCSD, UCD, UCSC</p>

<p>I honestly don’t know anymore. 1 class shouldn’t have this much bearing. Even if I had taken the class and got a C (won’t happen, but let’s assume the worse), I’d still have a 3.85+ But Berkeley lets you finish a pre-req in the summer, which is nice. But I’m going to have a long talk with the admissions officers because wasting my time taking Calculus 2 in the span of 6 weeks</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted</p>

<p>@cayton from someone who runs a forum site, if u care about this place as much as the other members are showing that you do, you should definitely become a mod</p>

We’re a rare breed on CC haha</p>

<p>@FCrane‌ </p>

<p>Well, I might take it under consideration if offered such a position. :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

<p>@music1990‌ </p>

<p>Thanks. :stuck_out_tongue: I guess it’s a good thing most people on here don’t really annoy me, though.</p>

<p>Accepted O_O

<p>And by the way my essays were not that great because I never had someone edit them, I started applying a couple hours before the November due date… So there’s hope for all you future transfers even if your essay isn’t edited to perfection… I had huge grammar mistakes </p>

<p>Hi all! I’m wondering if anyone can answer me…</p>

<p>I got accepted but I won’t be able to fulfill my conditions for admission because I’m missing one pre-req that I said I would take when I updated the application back in February. Will my admission be rescinded? :frowning: I’m worried…</p>

<p>I’m pretty much in the same condition as this user…

<p>Thanks so much!</p>

Major: Rhetoric
GPA: 3.90

<p>Is it worthwhile trying to appeal the decision? I have nothing new to state, but perhaps my current grade for class equivalent to CS 61B which is standing at an A. I know I should just cut my losses, and just count my blessings…still it’s irritating me for some reason. Again congratulations to all who made it^^</p>

<p>Advice for all applicants:</p>

<p>Dont apply to Berkeley wishing you could have worked harder. If you get rejected, you want to look at your application and say, " I did everything I possibly could (GPA, extracurriculars, etc.)."</p>

<p>@cayton, Emilie already submitted SIR to UCLA. Even though Berkeley is not a good fit for her and she wants to be in SoCal, I was surprised at how choked up I got when she got into my almna mater. Both you and she have a lot to be proud of…</p>

<p>She signed up for transfer dorm, plazas, suites… What did you choose?</p>

<p>Everyone that got into Berkeley - it’s one of a kind. Congrats to all!! @music1990 and @sonic23‌ :smiley: B-) </p>

<p>Anyone know if there is a way to appeal a spring admission and try for fall? Don’t mean to sound ungrateful, would just be a bummer. </p>

<p>Accepted!

<p>“Given your academic qualifications, I know that you will receive other attractive admission offers. I wish you every success in achieving your educational goals.”</p>

<p>Oh no I have to go to UCLA now</p>

<p>Anyone know the phone number for admissions? I found one but it says their hours are until 4pm… I would hope there’s an office open later for today due to admissions, anyone know?</p>
