berkeley please do me good, just got rejected from ucla
What are the chances of getting into Berkeley if rejected by UCLA? I’m so sad because I actually wanted to go to UCLA… Does anyone know how the environment at Berkeley is like?
UCLA-rejects-Berkeley-hopeful reunite!
ucsd crushed my soul and dreams so hopefully ucb can fix it. ucsd was too savage today. I know that ucb does care a lot about the essay so hope thats my saving grace. A bit discouraged i did’t get a ucb email. but as we’ve all learned from the ucsd forum, we should never assume anything lmao.
Hopefully I can get into Berkeley. UCLA rejected me, but I applied as an engineering major there and a science major here. Feels like all of my hard work through high school will have been wasted if I don’t get in here.
4.4 UC gpa, 4.0 UW, 33 ACT
just got waitlisted at UCLA (cry) now less hopeful for berkeley
good luck to everyone in the same boat!
Just got into UCLA Pre Business Econ! Hopeful for Berkeley next week! Next week is going to be a long one for me
Just got rejected from UCLA, so now I’m here in this thread lol
I live near Berkeley so I have been on the campus numerous of times. For me, it’s a competitive atmosphere and the courses are extremely rigorous obviously. The city of Berkeley has a lot to offer when it comes to fun things to do. When it comes to people, they can seem a bit stuck up but there are plenty of awesome people too. Overall, it’s a good campus vibe but a lot of people there can be judgemental
Glad to know I’m not the only one thinking their UCLA rejection spells doom
@luna2389 Sad life. I didn’t want an atmosphere where people are really competitive and stuck up :(.
Same!! @TheGordLord Like I worked so freaking hard for the last literally 16 years to build up my school skills and extracurriculars and just everything and then it feels like it all went to waste. Like why even bother with studying like crazy to get all A’s when it didn’t even do anything in the end.
Didn’t apply to UCLA but was waitlisted at UChicago, deferred Yale SCEA, and rejected from Northwestern so…not feeling too optimistic.
I’d be willing to take the UCLA loss if it means getting into Berkeley. If rejected from Berkeley, Imma drop out of all my 7 AP classes :,(
Why bother killing myself with a tough curriculum? Ughhhhjsoaiash
AND I got a 5.0 last semester! But then again my total gpa is doodoo 
@chaterine 7 APs?!?! I’m so sorry. I’m taking 6 and I’m currently drowning.
Got Waitlisted to LA (Engineering Major)… We have to stay positive, we’ve all worked so hard… Berkeley Please!
So berkeley is really really competitive. My friend’s project was sabotaged by another student so they could get ahead. I live near the area and visit some friends on campus often, so here is what I will say. Campus is BEAUTIFUL!!! The surrounding area is nice, but there are a lot of homeless people and if you don’t like 420, just be aware that the city of Berkeley is VERY LIBERAL. They were the first to outlaw plastic bags and styrofoam. There is a bart (subway) station close to campus, which is convenient for going to the airport, going into SF and other places. Like a lot of cities, there are pockets of wealth and pockets of destitution, but know how to be street smart and don’t go down dark allies alone.
If anyone has any questions hmu, I’m not a student but visit campus often and am very familiar with the school in general
I’m so sad and wiped this month. I got into 3 places aready, but waitlisted to ucla, and turned down from northwestern and wash u. I don’t know how much more I can handle of this waiting to hear back from colleges that are just turning me down. It’s so tough and exhausting.
So… Rejected UCLA but hoping UCB comes through. BTw, got private messaged by Berkeley twitter thanking me for following them… Hope it’s a good sign 
So is it true Berkeley doesn’t factor major at all? Like they only look if you are applying to L&S and thats it?
