@PoliSciSF Thank you!
No updates! 
4.0 Econ
Representative on the live chat said that a wave has already went out today.
Really? Does that mean that there will not be another one on Friday? Or there will be?
A student asked time of another wave, and representative replied that the date was unknown.
Let’s hope and see, thank you!
@ddzz66hh Will it go out soon or has it already been sent?
I wish they could give me a decision sooner but I understand the circumstances. I just hate paying all these fees for my other school and not knowing if I’m even attending this other school.
Same here…
If one wave was already released today, I’m wondering if they can release another wave in the same week? I haven’t looked through past threads but has anyone seen them releasing multiple waves per week?
So only two people in this thread got off the wl in this wave?
Congratulations!! Did you accepted for fall 2020 or spring 2021?
sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but when I met with an admissions officer on campus last summer (since I got waitlisted last year too), I was told the first wave is the largest. Once UC Berkeley receives all the SIRs, they will know exactly how many available spots they have. If there are 20 spots for example, they will admit the top 20 ranked people on the waitlist based on space available in each individual major. Since people are pre-ranked, there is no reason for them to under admit in wave 1 and leave remaining spaces for “future waves”. The reason for future waves is that not everybody admitted off of the waitlist will commit, so the 2nd wave (or 3rd wave) will depend on the remaining gap between people that accept from the waitlist, and desired enrollment.
tldr: the chances of admission go massively down on each subsequent wave, if there even is a 2nd or 3rd wave.
looks like UC Berkeley won’t happen this year
@djbassbaby even if that is the case it seems that the 2nd wave is still comparable to the first, and like you mentioned 3rd+ is very very little. For example, I know some freshmen applicant friends who were waitlisted got off from the 2nd wave.
Also I am not sure if this means anything, but it seems that the freshmen waitlisted people got an additional email at the end of June saying
"Thank you for opting to remain on UC Berkeley’s wait list. At this time we are unable to offer you admission to UC Berkeley but in the coming weeks, there is a possibility of additional spaces becoming available. We anticipate notifying all students of their waitlist status by the end of June, 2020. "
When they normally get a rejection letter at the end of the month.
I don’t think you can necessarily use the posts on here from past threads to gauge that. not everybody is even on this thread, and not everybody will post.
Not saying its impossible there are other waves, there probably will be. But the probability between 1st and 2nd goes way down. And 3rd or after is basically 0 at that point except for a few lucky people.
They may be cutting waves in pieces like maybe we will get sprinkles every couple of days. It just doesn’t make sense the number of students UCLA would take off the waitlist in comparison to the two people on this thread who got off lol. Feel free to look at the UCLA transfer waitlist so you can see what I am saying. Like maybe wave one is a couple of people today and a couple each day for the next few days?
Schools can have entirely different enrollment situations each year. May not be likely, but UCLA’s situation doesn’t map to Berkeley’s situation. Maybe UCLA has more international students and saw a dip in that enrollment. I have no idea, but, it’s possible it’s a good year for UCLA waitlist.
Wasn’t UCLA based off of specific groups? I believe the early acceptance was purely OOS/INT, and then it was based off of colleges. Im under the impression that the 2 people who got accepted here were instate and L&S.
I thought they admitted by department not by major (particularly L & S) since everyone comes in undeclared? If they admit by major, then good luck to me because Econ is one of the more popular majors.
I just got off the waitlist today.
