UC Berkeley - Class of 2022 Applicants Thread

Biggest flaw of college confidential is not being able to pin messages, seeing the same questions and statements over and over again – AHHHHHHHH

How do u make a cal net account

@KES2022 Are you sure? I need proof.

@Meap433 Stats aren’t always everything! I’ve seen people in the thread last year with 26 ACT or SAT equivalent get in! Don’t count yourself out, trust me.

@thereject22 My GPA is absolute trash though

@Meap433 what major?

This is what makes it laughable. I applied for CS. @Yaboical

My only chance of getting in is if the admissions officer falls asleep on the keyboard and hits the wrong button

Is this a list of the impacted majors at Berkeley?

UC Berkeley Admissions page tweeted out, “Decisions will go out on Thursday and do not correlate to your address(es) on the portal. If your address is incorrect on the portal, you can adjust it to reflect your correct info. Thank you.”

*STOP GETTING ANTSY OVER LITTLE THINGS ON THE PORTAL AND JUST WAIT TILL THURSDAY LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, THIS IS NOT GOING TO MAKE YOUR DECISION COME ANY FASTER!! (I’m not yelling lol)

So this is what I was referring to earlier today about trying to get into the portal by signing up for summer classes to get your calnetID. So this guy appears on here telling everyone “how to get around this system and gain access”. Why wouldn’t that be considered hacking??? Read the article there were consequences for their behavior

within the span of one week this thread has blown up from 60 ish to 125 pages. Predicting that this thread will blow up to 200 pages + on Thursday

@Twinmomhell some of us signed up to actually sign up for summer courses

@Meap433 That was awesome. Ditto. Thanks for the chuckle.

@nyudream2221 and like I said earlier “some” is the operative word. Reality is trying to get around the system lacks integrity and honesty period and the school would frown upon such behavior and it could cost people admissions.

Waiting for that big fat rejection :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

That’s not getting around the system. That’s using the system they provided. If we purposely attempted to break in or “have” their database, that’s not ok. It’s like complaining about having your data taken when you use Facebook. You agreed to it, what you didn’t agree to was that your data and the data in your contacts was gonna be taken and sold for a profit. 2 completely different issues.

There is some serious tro.lling going on in UCIs thread

It blocked tro.lling

Completely disagree are you supposed to Know admission decisions before they release? No you aren’t. If you come up with a way to find that out by doing dishonest things to gain access through a back door, then that is unethical and dishonest. Period.
