@yalebound2020: Congrats! I too got in to Berkeley but still waiting if I got Regents. I’m also waiting for UCLA and the Ivies.
@SD2020 - Thanks! How did your interview go? I did mine in SD at the Embassy Suites downtown. The professor was extremely friendly and took more of a “recruiter’s” position than interviewer. Good luck to you!
@yalebound2020 - It went well. My interviewer is an EECS professor so he asked me some technical questions. I did my interview in Berkeley and also attended the overnight RHOP. Definitely worth it!
@yalebound2020 Congratulations on your acceptances!! I was rejected from Yale SCEA, so now I’m in the anxious waiting period with everyone else. Is Yale your first choice? Where else did you apply besides Berkeley?
@SD2020 - so what’s your top choice? Is UCB your backup?
@yalebound2020: I wouldn’t say UCB is my backup but it is definitely in the mix. I’m waiting to hear from several Ivies but focused on Princeton and Harvard/MIT. MIT is just around the corner so I’m getting angsty. How about you?
@mjstewart1224 - 7 other Ivys, Stanford, GT, UND, NU, UofC & Duke. I am going to wait to see what happens after the 31st, look at all the FA packages, talk to my parents, and make the best decision I can. I found out that Mr. Toffler was right when he described Overchoice. It’s my fault for applying to so many -and distinctive- schools but I wanted to have options. Sometimes Mies is right: less is more! :)>-
UCB is really anything buy a “backup.” Hell the acceptance rate for EECS is lower than some Ivies. It’s a tough school to get into.
Absolutely @infiniteCircle - UCB is an amazing school and I feel privileged to be accepted in the EECS dept. It’s just cool to check out what’s out there especially since I’m a west coast kid.
lol moving on
@yalebound2020 join the incarcerated club.
@infiniteCircle - I guess wishing luck to someone is subject to prosecution and preventive detention. And the truth will set you free? How long of a sentence do we have to serve?
Level 3 warning? You guys are fast.
“Flames, insults, and personal attacks will not be tolerated. It’s fine to disagree with opinions, ideas, and facts, but always with respect for the other person.”
@10s4life I didn’t get a warning, I was talking about the two people who were calling each other idiots here on this thread earlier. All posts related to that were deleted, and as now there are jail bars on their profile picture, they must have gotten at least a Level 3 warning (which prohibits them for starting new threads for a couple of weeks, I believe).
Yeah I don’t know. Who moderates these threads?
@10s4life You and I are definitely okay – no warnings, no reported offenses, nothing even remotely close to that. Otherwise, you would know.
Sometimes I just can’t help but laugh at people who consider UCB & UCLA to be backup schools…
@infiniteCircle I have no idea, but I know CC automatically filters some words (that’s why they probably identified the whole thing going on here). Also, someone may have just reported any of those posts…
@vi0linmonster some people consider all schools but HYPSM to be backup schools. I can’t help but laugh as well. I mean, Berkeley and UCLA are not my dream schools (I didn’t even apply to UCLA), but are reaches for virtually everyone, specially OOS and international students like me.
Now I’m intrigued. I read the back and forth “discussion” - how did you get dragged into it @infiniteCircle?
