UC Berkeley Fall 2020: Transfer Waitlist Thread

It either comes this week or the next week. After that the month is over. lol

I dont know if I could keep some more hope…

there is no way that all of us get rejected by them. they need students!! there are always spots available for L and S. There is no way!!!

I think it matters on the announcement on Jun 15th if on campus they will take less and possibly no one-off waitlist especially for fall due to social distancing guidelines to keep the campus open. Unfortunately, it’s a business they will lose more on keeping the campus closed then under enrolling for Class of '22 especially since they overenrolled '24 since it was a month earlier. They will limit capacity for nearly everything and they would rather gain some revenue from keeping campus open then from accepting a bunch more ppl and losing out on campus-based revenue

So we wont know till June 16 right? Its so tiring

isn’t it going to be a hybrid??? confused…

i heard ucla is doing that too --_–

this is definitely a freshman. the post talks about PFP which is a freshman program. 100% not for transfers.

At least you guys got a wave! Im waiting on UCSD and they haven’t even released their first wave.

Hope you will get good results as well

Yes but UCLA and Cal may adopt separate ways of handling the situation. For example, UCLA may anticipate a second wave of Covid-19 and know the classes will end up online anyways and they could put out something revoking the promise of housing(if there is one idk if there is). Cal may just say hey let us take a hit in Class of '22 so we can quote stats that we intended to lessen the possible damage and to allow for the safety of students and staff idk. This is EXTREMELY odd less than a handful of students have seemed to get in with the majority getting in for Spring 2021

Man nothing is more tilting than checking on the ucla thread and see them having a new wave every 3 days rofl. If there is no wave this tuesday then that just tells you everything imo. Really wish I was on the ucla waitlist instead.

Also they are doing hybrid but a lot of people already enrolled say unless you have labs or something, normal classes will mostly be online anyways. Cal’s biggest classes have lost many TAs the past semester I hear so that probably have reduced their capacity to hold more students. Well regardless its often been commented that specific courses were overloaded beyond comprehension in the first place already.

Can’t underestimate that many students are sick of being at home and would rather get Corona than keep at it any longer.

when will they update info? The #of wl admission is much smaller than 2018…While for 2018, they didnt have a second wave but hung all the rest students till July 1st and automatically dropped all at that time

Someone (not a UCB rep) wrote in the admission chat, that classes announcement was pushed from June 15 to June 22. I guess that’s the reason why we didn’t hear anything today, and will probably not till the next Monday.

summer classes or fall?

Sigh…If I could get in, I would do sky diving and streaking for final after qurantine

I just need it to be this week. I’m driving myself crazy with this.

I think everyone here is getting crazy hahaha…I hope the live chat could give some clear guidance. If they wont give notification till 22th then we just forget this for a while rather than refresh websites 3608 times a day…

On the live chat someone asked if campus will be open for fall 2020 and the rep said they have decided on hybrid program and sent this link.

no news so far right? rip

If this will be like last week with a wave on a Tuesday, then there should be a FAQ glitch in roughly 4 hours. I am very anxious and praying.
