If anyone does end up either calling them or doing the virtual helpdesk on Wednesday, could you please ask them for the Industrial Engineering & Operations Major (IEOR)? Or in general about the Engineering majors and whether there will be movement?
Can anyone please ask for whether there will be movement for international EECS/CS at all? I really want to call and ask but I am in Canada and I canāt call a US number.
Is anyone planning on calling today?
Just did, the person on the phone said that they donāt have a timeline yet and also said no oneās been taken off. Did also seem a touch clueless so not too sure with those answers.

Some more information I got via contacting the Office of Undergraduate Admissions via email:
āThe waitlist depends on available space within each major. Students who are offered admission after the waitlist will get the opportunity to receive housing as a first-year student.ā
Those who are asking if the waitlist depends on your major, according to this response, it seems like it does.
What if I applied undeclared?
All students that apply to the College of Letters and Sciences are Undeclared (exception are the high demand majors) so even though students are admitted into a L&S major, they still have to take the required courses to declare the major. Applying as Undeclared will have no impact on your chances of getting off the waitlist.
Can anyone call and check tonight? Something mightāve been decided by now. Iām international and it starts too late for me to go.

Iāll be busy the whole day today so if someone else can do it thatād be nice. Iāve also contact the office of admissions too much so I donāt want to do it again. However, if no one else does it before they close at 4pm PT, Iāll try to call them again around 3:30pm PT.
Iāll join their virtual front desk on zoom at like 3:30PT.

If any of you do call, please ask if thereāll be any movement for international waitlists in EECS, thanks.
Managed to squeak in a call before I went to sleep. But the person I got wasnāt too chatty. Did confirm that it hasnāt started yet though but nothing else.
Whoever calls might also want to repeat some questions e.g.
-
When theyāll start?
-
Why they havenāt started yet, and
-
Forecasts for this year by major + chances for instate, OOS and International.

I think I was directed to a student (judging by her zoom profile picture). She told me that the waitlist movement began already (including Internationals), and she isnāt able to provide any specifics about International/in-state/OOS nor any majors. Our entire interaction lasted for around 15 seconds.
So we got some people claiming they got off (on tiktok/reddit), some people claiming that admissions office said that they have not let anyone off, and some people saying the office they have gotten off? Might as well call it quits lol. Berkeley waitlist is cooked
Yeah I also joined the call just now and I was assigned to a student instead of an actual AO. The student said they canāt provide any information regarding the waitlist (not even if it has begun moving yet). Unless you talk to an actual AO (which I was able to do the last time), I donāt think youāll get an answer.
i think we will probably just start to see a huge wave of waitlist movement at around may 19th. cause the sir is due the 15th, which is a thursday, and then that leaves them the time to see who they need to pull from the waitlist on friday and then monday we might see some significant movement. i still donāt rlly believe that anyone has gotten off yet tho
