UC Berkeley 2025 Portal Astrology Discussion

Whats funny is the kids who had strong ECs and competitive awards think USABO and USACO Platinum, ISEF, max rigor, and 4.0s can NOT find an account, while the ones who have mid ECs like free-for-all volunteering can. I am in-state.

3.7 is bottom 20% in our school.

i got an UW of 3.87 i think but my ecs are pretty good especially for my major, and my PIQs i would say are better than avg

I know people who got in with 3.8 unweighted for language degrees and like Asian studies

are you in a competitive district? Also are they first gen? You don’t know their extracurriculars or essays or if they had problems and submitted additional docs. Is it a lot of people?

What kind of evidence proves = waitlist?

Only thing i know is the waitlist letter.

If you click on the image icon on the ID page, it will take you to SIS page. Try to log into SIS and you will see forbidden..

I have posted a picture above :backhand_index_pointing_up:

once you log onto calcentral, hit the box that says navigating SIS CS and that first box in there says “log into campus solutions” this is where you get the forbidden!

No they are NOT first gen or low-income. I know for a fact these students do not have spectacular writing compared to the cracked students. (I read their essays)

It solely depends on the major that they applied for. I have a 4.0 and the maxed UC capped weighted gpa like 4.333 so it would make sense for me to have the id when I applied engineering. Other L&S non-competitve majors probably don’t have insanely cracked applicants so it would make sense that these people are in the running for Berkeley.

This isn’t even bad. Assuming your school uses semesters and you took 6 classes per semester, you would get a 3.87 UW if you had 3 Bs with the rest of your grades being As. Also, with holistic review, there are obviously multiple other factors that contribute to admission.

how many are there? admissions processes are weird sometimes. i don’t think we can say IDs may equal waitlists based on just a few kids from your school, especially when 6 years of ID history indicate otherwise

so does everyone has 403 forbidden?

They probably applied to competitive schools
..engineering, cs, data science etc. The admit rate for cs is insane at cal.

Yeah i got it at least

I have seen this as well. Berkeley’s holistic admissions results are almost unbelievable at times, UCLA is far more predictable.

I don’t think you will ever hear that multiple 3.7 GPA and low rigor students were accepted into Cal over 4.0 students with max rigor for STEM majors like EECS.

Stop bringing GPA into this :sob: 3.6 GPA history major > 4.0 full rigor wtv award Computer Science major in terms of admissions chance

I just said it was for EECS. No one who has a BS CS tutoring nonprofit is applying history dawg.
