*****UC Berkeley 2021 Waitlist Thread*****

@johnlimster It removed all breaks so it was just a block of words. There is no way to tell where the paragraphs are supposed to be. So when you look at it it is just one paragraph.

@Lifeissohard did u get a reminder from CAL … have u still not sent ur essay

If I get off the waitlist, will I be admitted to the college and major I applied to?

@companion14 from last yrs thread … yes… if u get off the WL early then u get ur major and school… if later …some conditional offer like global edge…january start etc…i hav no freaking idea wht r they

@USUG21 No, I haven’t I’ll send it tonight! Yes, they sent me a reminder. Did you get one too? Oh wait, you already opt-in that’s why. Make totally sense.

It’s ready and all, but I am still figuring out how can I turn 522 to 500.

Guys, if I use contraction such as “I’ll” “It’ll” “I’ve” will it look bad??? My college advisors and I trimmed my essay to 500, but I added a sentence and then bam 522. UGHHHHHH!

Guys, are contractions proper English?

@Lifeissohard u sd send it ASAP.

I will tonight, man. THANKS :slight_smile: for your concern. I’m stressing out like I have a 30 slides presentation due tonight and a damn 15-page essay like for real, my brain hurts right now. And it’s not like I am doing this last min, my teacher assigned us the work on Monday! That’s why I didn’t opt in earlier. :l Hopefully the UCB isn’t making this first time first served secretly. LOL, You never know! @USUG21

@Lifeissohard no… not first come first serve…
They sent u reminder
Thts why u sd send early to respect thr reminder

If they don’t have enough room in regular fall admission, do you get to choose an alternate pathway or do they automatically assign you one?

@alesie1260 good question, I think they assign but the spring admission u get to travel, take cc class fall and something else.

@Lifeissohard No not like head-to-tail combination, but without paragraphs. It is just one big paragraph without separation.

Any body else here who got reminder from berkely for accepting WL spot

This post shows accpeted WL spots in 2014 and 2015

Hey guys, this link (https://■■■■■■■■■■■■/docs/2015FreshmanWaitlistAppealCancellation.pdf) says that of the 1340 admits off the wait-list last year, 1000 + were CA residents… Anybody know if this is true?

@indianhopeful thats true. Most of the Wlers are used for spring admit pathways FPF etc. These are only for CA residents… thts wht iunderstood from thr website…i m also from india

@USUG21 Damn, really? On the freshman pathways the only eligibility criteria listed are being wait-listed and/or applying to L&S. Maybe it’s only for residents I don’t know, but I really hope not…

“FPF Berkeley is available to students admitted to the College of Letters and Science
FPF San Francisco is available to students admitted to the College of Letters and Science
January Start is available to students who are admitted from the waitlist.
Global Edge is available to students admitted to the College of Letters and Science and the College of Natural Resources”

nice, which part?

also, do you have a link or something that shows it’s true? Don’t mean to doubt you just want to be sure.

Last years thread u study. U ll get to know

I hv applied to engg… wht u hv applied to
