UC Berkeley Class of 2029 Waitlist and Appeal Discussion

I’ll try joining the afternoon session and see if I get assigned an AO… but yeah, nothing new and nothing hopeful lol

If you guys could join later as well… maybe they’ll share something different.

I think if enough of us join around the same time, we can get at least one AO. Or maybe, the virtual front desk only has students now due to the excessive number of calls. Regardless, let’s hope we see something this week.

yeah, maybe! But I didn’t have to wait to join the virtual front desk… so I don’t know if there are many people trying to call them

Not able to listen any news from any of the forums about UCB’s waitlist movement.

Hmmm I was told today that the waitlist will start to move in July. I think I was directed to a student though.

JULY?!?!?!? i cannot be waiting THAT long

JULY… july seems insane and insanely late omg. did anyone else call?? i feel like this is so incredibly out of the norm compared to the past years.. :sob::sob::sob:

Maybe he meant June? Idk… July is too late to start moving. Like, imagine international students trying to get their visas in 1 month before starting classes. Is the virtual front desk still on? I can join to check again.

BUT, if it really is JULY, maybe there will be a small to no movement at all…

yeah..
the office closes at 4 pm, but i think the zoom link is still up?
nevertheless, i really hope they admit more students than last year..

Same… in 2023 I think 1200 people were admitted though, so we shouldn’t loose hope yet.

If Chat GPT’s prediction is precise and correct (which I don’t think so), we might hear something back from them between May 30th and June 6th.

I would recommend someone to call the office tomorrow or on Friday and see if they can reach an AO. In my experience, I’ve never actually got paired with an AO through virtual front desk.
