Does anyone know where to find what major you were accepted as? On my acceptance letter, it says I was accepted in college of L&S. I applied as a global studies major so does this mean I wasn’t accepted into that major and am now undeclared?
Does anyone know if Berkeley will rescind my acceptance due to these reasons?
- I didn’t take an AP course at school that I was planning on taking (I put it on the UC application senior courses) because I choose to self-study it. I got a 4 on the test.
- I was planning on taking the AP Calc BC test (also put that on my application), but decided to take the AB even though I did take both courses in senior year.
I heard UCB does waves of waitlist acceptances; is this true? if so, is there any way students might get off the waitlist before May 1, or will we definitely have to accept another offer first?
@10s4life That’s interesting. Makes sense. It’s a theory I’m developing because I noticed a public school trend and wondered if public school acceptance is part of the State’s misssion to educate. I wholly approve and support if it is. It would be helpful for private school students to anticipate the elevated expectations, though. Maybe that’s just common sense, as you point out, and the GCs just don’t express it. Who knows. I just found it statistically interesting in our case that with the same stats, ECs, etc, my son (CA res and private parochial school) was accepted to all of the schools he applied to (private and some great flagship state schools in other states) except for one, but was almost literally shut out of the UCs (rejected from 5 of 6 campuses).
My account is still showing OOS tuition. Has anyone fixed this or does anyone know how to fix this?
Does anyone know if Berkeley takes more OOS or Instate students off the waitlist and how many of those kids are L&S?
@abigfailure My account is also showing OOS tuition even though I am in-state. I am planning on calling the financial aid office on Monday.
does anyone know what time the admitted students tour is on Monday?
has anyone been able to sign up for an admitted students tour? the tour website says there’s supposed to be a link on our applicant portal, but I haven’t been able to find that!
@blue123321 i called them and they gave me the link:
https://campustours.berkeley.edu/visitor?cal=i
@k10293 Hi, thanks for the link. There are no tours for Monday??? When I look at the calendar it’s blank.
@Scarsinstars No problem! And yeah, all of the tours for Monday are already full but on the website it also says that “Reservations are preferable, but if the tour on the date you’d like to visit is full, be assured that you will be able to join a new admit tour even if you don’t have a reservation.” so I was planning on joining the Monday tour.
We would also like to attend a tour on Monday. We will be in Berkeley that day.
@Scarsinstars Yeah, that’s why I’m hoping someone who has already reserved a spot can tell us what time the tour will be. but just to be safe, we’re probably going to come at around 10:00 because that seems to be the earliest tour for the other dates.
Hey can someone help me out here?
So I applied Undeclared (Intending Haas) as there was no other option on the application for any Haas program. I got accepted into L&S. So does this mean I got into Haas or do I have to apply later?
Also, I read about this Global Management Program, how does one apply for it because I didn’t see it in the UC application anywhere.
The tours that are on the website are regular tours and generally don’t need reservations. For a Spring Break week there are tons of people that will be there.
For admitted student tours, there’s supposed to be a link in the student portal, but I didn’t find any yet.
The regular tours are pretty much a waste of time IMO. You could get a campus map and do the tour yourself. If you’re going in the Engineering school, their tour is better, but hard to get into. Even so, you could still into Soda and Etcheverry amongst other buildings yourself and see the classrooms, if that’s what you want to do.
@StressedSeniorInt
How have you already taken the AP Test when the AP tests aren’t even offered until May?
@StressedSeniorInt - that first one probably isn’t issue but that second one might, especially if you’re an Engineering or Math or CS major. Presumably your acceptance was based on a more “impressive record” because you were taking BC because of AB. I might be wrong though.
If I were you, if it’s not too late, I would take the AP BC exam anyhow, just so you don’t have to report the discrepancy. They score the test separately, so even if you got say a 2 on the BC portion, Berkeley wouldn’t care. I personally wouldn’t take the chance to report this type of discrepancy - if Berkeley gets too many acceptances, they might start looking for people who violate any conditions of acceptance to try and chop off numbers. That’s just the paranoid side of me.
Hi! Any Fall Program for Freshman people… have you been able to set up your CalNet ID? I read somewhere that our names aren’t added to the directory until April so that may be why I’m experiencing some difficulties…
@Expedited
You said
“@soccerbunny423 you should be careful with sir. it’s not the easiest to take back, hence the deposit and all. i know one friend who backed out of berkeley during the summer before freshman year, but she’s the only one i know of who managed to swerve the sir.”
I am a bit confused here. Why can’t one just forget the deposit and go to the school that initially waitlisted someone, and then accepted? This is how numerous people do it, when they commit to a school that accepted them, but then get a good news from another school, that was their top choice to begin with (and they initially were on the wait list there)?
