I recently got waitlisted from UC Berkeley. I am an international applicant from India. Are the chances of getting off the waitlist for any int applicant quite low? Also, Berkeley is my top choice and I really want to attend it.
I have:
ACT-32
IB- 42/45 Predicted Grades
Math 2- 800
TOEFL- 102
10th Grade results- 96.4%
Intending a major in Social Sciences.
@iwillyou from last yrs thread it is not clear if accepted students were IS … OSS or International. They were mostly discussing on majors and colleges. ENGG college ppl were accepted first. But ppl who were acccepted later were mostly not direct fall admits…they were given conditiinal acceptances which I think international students can not accept. So if we are off WL within 1st week of may then its ok orherwise forget CAL.
@USUG21 Are most of the ppl who get off the waitlist Cali residents???
@iwillyou no… thr were OOS and internationals also…mostly u can say… but discussion was mostly on colleges…
@USUG21 What do you mean there is only green tick mark that WL spot has been accepted?
@Lifeissohard He means there is no confirm email sent to him, only a green tick like a “material received” indication on portal. Me too. I haven’t got any status confirm email. But… there is a more serious problem!! I am wondering if this is a common thing you lot all have… or it is just me… I hope not… I hope this is UCB’s problem not mine…
When I wrote on the word processor, I split the essay into several paragraphs, and when I copy-pasted it into the essay area the format still remained. But when I submitted it and went back to see by submitted form, I saw that all the paragraphs have become one big chunk! One word after one word throughout the essay.
Do you guys have this problem…
@astroLyf I had that problem too
@astroLyf Oh shoot! What you mean one word after one word throughout the essay? Doyoumeanlikethis?
Or there’s no paragraphs and just all in one big paragraph?
Mannn, if @tigerman333 has the same problem, then they would know!
I’ll turn in mines tommorow hopefully they don’t think I did it last min! LOLL. Senior year is crazy too much…
@astroLyf i hav the same problem
i opted-in in a spur of the moment. i’m still really confused as to where i want to go next year, but last night at 4am i had this crippling realization i could be 100% debt-free at one of the best institutions in america or pull out 20k in loans at my current SIR at a top LAC. we’ll see though! (i applied to global edge initially, anybody have info on that?)
Help Guys!! My grades dropped from all As to a mostly B+ and A- so I dont want to submit it. Will it look bad on me.
Is it true we could hear back as soon as April 20?
@abundantbananas did it let you format your essay correctly on the waitlist opt-in form?
I feel like putting your grades in help you because if you don’t it’ll be obvious that something is wrong… MY OPINION!
Guys Uc Berkeley sent us a reminder about the waitlist aha at least they lowkey cares
I have the same problem with the formatting. It had all the paragraphs correctly formatted, but after submitting they were all combined. Hopefully they understand that this is a problem because this definitely affects the effectiveness of my essay…
@socal1998 what do you mean by formatting? Did it stick all the words together like this “IwanttogotoUCBerkeley” or just stick the paragraphs together without leaving a line in between them?
@johnlimster no, there were no paragraph breaks.
Do you guys know if how later you submit your waitlist application will affect you? Im afraid that submitting near the deadline would negatively impact me.
