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

LMAOOO GUYS, I am scared to press the opt-in button. I keep rereading my essay knowing that this essay will either worsen or better make my original application frkin’ DRIVE ME NUTS!

I’ll pray, then opt-in LOL.

if we get in, you’re my roommate @Lifeissohard

@ncc1738 Ahahahhaa. For sure; I still didn’t pressed the opt-in button. I am too scared, fam.

Do you still get the option to choose a roommate if you are on the waitlist? I am assuming that your roommate and dorm will be assigned. At least that is how it works at my college I sent my SIR to.

Is it likely that most of us will be accepted to the FPF if we get in?

Maybe, but what is wrong with FPF. We can take all our gen ed requirements there while adjusting to college life, then next semester be full time enrolled at UC Berkeley.

@Hardzworker True.

Do you think it is harder to get off the waitlist with a rare major (sustainable environmental design?) I am afraid that everyone with that major would choose Berkeley over anywhere else just like i would :frowning:

The email my D received said she had until 4/18 at 11:59 to opt-in for the waitlist, but I just read the UC website listed the 15th. Can anyone verify which date is accurate?

@gratefulmama I was waitlisted, and on my wait list op-in doc it said 4/18 at 11:59.

@eastcoast2west - Thank you!

About what percent of the open spots are given to OOS waitlist students? I am an OOS L&S CS major waitlist and I’ve heard OOS students are given less of a priority compared to in-state students…

Does anyone happen to know what the SIR entails?

MANNNNNN GUYSSS. I FINALLY OPT IN! SHTTTT, believe it or not. It took me 4 hours to 321932178312 check my essay. SMH, I am a mess fams.

Good luck everyone!

Are all people who hear back from berkeley on the 1st of June rejected?

Is the earliest we hear back late-April? Or early/mid-May?

From Next week of april… we can expect to hear till june

How do they make decisions that early for us waitlisted if they don’t know how many regular people are submitting SIRs yet?

From 2014 berkely is heavily depending on WL to fit thr class. They enroll less and take from WL so that thr yield is btr…
