***UC Berkeley Class of 2019 Applicant Discussion***

@calgirl2015‌
That makes sense because Davis is a lot more stats oriented than Ucla and ucsd. They are more holistic. Like I said it’s not impossible at all to not get into Ucla but get into berkeley… I know people who have. I’m just saying that there’s a reason someone didn’t get into UCLA, And berkeley has a lower acceptance rate so yes the majority of people who get into berkeley and applied to UCLA got into all but once again, not all.

@DonCarlos1710‌
I’m in the same situation and I think it’s a good sign but not a guaranteed acceptance of course.

Anyone know how Regents candidates will find out if they got the scholarship?

Is 6pm tomorrow the time?.. where yall gettin that

@erochh i believe the regent decision will also come out tomorrow. i am keeping my fingers crossed for that.

Sorry, but regent candidates were informed about 1 month ago, we already conducted interviews with them

Whatever time they come out (people have been saying 6 pm) that means PST right?

@‌ineversleep

Yep! PDT!

@smileykins i mean the decision of whether you receive regent scholarship or not will come out tomorrow.

Oh haha, yeah, I think those are coming out tomorrow, sorry about that @calgirl2015! Since you got the nomination, do you think you’re going to be coming to Cal in the Fall?

@smileykins yup, most likely. Especially if i get regent. I am still waiting on CMU & Rice. But since i didn’t get any earlier likely letter, I doubt I will be offered any scholarship if I am admitted. So yeah, most likely Cal.

Ahh that’s awesome! I hope you come out to Cal Day :slight_smile:

If you have any questions about Berkeley, feel free to shoot me a message sometime

all scholarship decision will be released tomorrow too.

include Regent, correct?

I’ve heard from a few friends that berkeley and ucla work together and that usually, most kids get into one or the other to increase their yield rates. Is that true? If someone got into UCLA, are they most likely not going to get into Cal?

@strsedovrcolege Sorry, there’s no truth to that rumor. Berkeley and UCLA make decisions independently.

@strsedovrcolege‌ Parchment.com used to provide a lot more raw data than it does now (more packaged now) and I ran some numbers trying to make sense of the data set. What I recall was seeing many instances of people rejected at Berkeley accepted at UCLA or vise versa. It doesn’t mean there’s a conspiracy. Just that they look at the applicant pool somewhat differently.

Thursday night cannot come any sooner…

thanks @smileykins. not sure about Cal Day. but definitely on registration day in June.

I searched the UC Berkeley student directory and my name was there, as was one of my friends who applied, but not others who I know applied. My friend said that they had possibly posted the admitted students to the directory already, is this true?

Can you please provide the link to the student directory?
