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

are we allowed to appeal?

Not if you are waitlisted. You can only appeal if you are flat out rejected at Cal. Different from some of the other UCs.

Has anyone heard from them yet?
I know one girl who lives near Cal who got her decision yesterday
Freaking out ugh

@nopitynope she has been taken off WL… from which college engg or LS

@USUG21 LS, Political Science major

@nopitynope Hey, when did she get in? Did she appeal or was she on the waitlist? Did they email her?

@nopitynope If she appealed, when did she send in her appeal?

Declining my offer to Berkeley (accepted on March 30th/not waitlisted) Good luck guys! I hope they take a lot of people off the waitlist this year.

@pineappledragon Thank you, we need more people like you in this world!

@pineappledragon Where are you going to enroll?

@johnlimster Thanks for the kind words! I hope they take you off the waitlist ASAP. edit: I was admitted to L&S and I’m in-state so I hope it means one more spot for you guys.

@soulpup I’ve committed to Cornell :slight_smile:

Looks like small wave of L&S waitlist students got in on 4/28/17. Searched #berkeleybound on IG and saw posts of 4/28 acceptance letters. Congrats to those students!

I think they are all transfer applicants

Yup, they are transfer students!

Hey all! Best of luck to everyone. Quick question:

I am part of the College of Natural Resources and applied as undeclared. Does this hurt or help my chances?

Thank you!

@biggoals the college whr u applied undeclared does not hurt. I applied engg undeclared. Whereas LA accepted me with likely letter…CAL WL me. U need not worry. In ur college undeclared is not competitive

@USUG21 I see. Thank you so much!!!

So if we got off the waitlist, do we only have three options? (Fpf, global edge, January start) or could we have the option of traditional fall start?

@sonia1216 From my understanding, most students are offered those 3 options. However, a handful are offered normal fall admission.

From my understanding these three are only for domestic students and not for internationals. However those who are accepted early from WL are offered normal fall start and the late wave offers these three. Thts what i understood from last yrs thread.
