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

Lol good luck
Btw does anyone know when did people start hearing back from LAS last year

@crazyisgenetic I am glad you are okay now.

@morelifeee I believe the first person heard back last year on April 23rd but he was in engineering (probably earlier bc engineering and chem are the only schools where you apply to the major/are automatically in your major as soon as you start, L & S you’re not officially in your major till junior year), first wave (assuming some LAS) was May 1 tho

Hello guys! Haven’t posted for a while. I will SIR to UCSB currently for it has a good physics program. (I heard from sources that their physics program is even better than that of UCLA?) LOL I don’t know, honestly I don’t care which undergraduate school I go to a lot. No matter what programs I am admitted to by Berkeley is fine, FPF or what. Actually I am interested in that global edge program lol. Good luck everyone!

Okkk thanks!!

@Lifeissohard thank you, buddy :)>- me too!

@scarletwitchx where did you hear that the waitlist acceptance rate was 33% last year?

Just opted in for EECS. I know I have no shot but UCSB gave me a full ride so I’ll be more than happy to SIR and attend there.

Does anyone know the best place to look for/match up with roommates online or should we just rely on the schools’ systems of choosing who lives where?

@habesha7 hey, don’t be negative. Nothing is impossible.

@johnlimster Wait, 33% for real?? that’s so low…

@tamano Hey I thought it was May 2, not 1st?

Does anyone have statistic about last year waitlist information?

all the best to you guys opting in today! opted in ytd cos today i got some things do( its April 19th 1 pm here). yall are amazing candidates and I really hope to be one of yall roommates lmao but for now lets hope for the best outcome :).

Here guys, I found the information for 2016: Berkeley acceptance rate 2016 | UC admissions decisions 2017. …International, 14,695, 1,295, 9%, 11%. UC Berkeley Waitlist, 2,445, 1,340, 54%"

ONLY 8,739 admits only 71% SIR’ed. Therefore, 30% and so, went to other schools. :smiley: Hopefully people do the same thing for this year. I know these two girls in my school will not attend UCB because they got a full ride somewhere else.

54% GUYS LMAOOO. CROSSED FINGERS. Do not lose hope.

@Lifeissohard , I think 54% was 2 years ago, not last year…

@johnlimster do you know any info 2016?

Sadly I don’t, but @scarletwitchx mentioned in the UC Berkeley 2021 Applicants thread that last year was 33%, and I was wondering where he/she got that info from.

http://opa.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/uc_berkeley_cds_2015-16_8-3-2016.pdf this is the common data set you need. acceptance rate of waitlist is 54%. (from those who accept the waitlist spot as compared to those who actually arr admitted of the waitlist @Lifeissohard
