UC Berkeley Freshman Class of 2028 Waitlist/Appeal Discussion

i haven’t heard anything yet, but it seems there’s lots of appeal movement so maybe they’re going through all the appeals first?

Waitlisted here. Still no change on the portal astrology. Although source code for withdraw seems to be different than back in March…

[{“field”:“b2b77b30-6e69-4699-9986-d89930266f5e”,“conditions”:[{“prompts”:[“32b157f3-17ca-4511-b4ed-6bec33c5d94e”],“condition”:function(form) {
return ((false) || (true));
}},{“prompts”:[“I am no longer interested in attending UC Berkeley and wish to withdraw my application.”],“condition”:function(form) {
return (true) && (false);

I got the exact same thing

what does their portal astrology say?

Didn’t ask

Do they start their WL review from $$$ (Intl), $$ (OOS), to $ (CA)? Hope not but that is what it seems like.

UC’s are need blind so the ability to pay is not taken into consideration for admission purposes but since they are state funded schools they know that the International and OOS students pay a premium price to attend. They also have to comply with the mandated 18% enrollment cap for International and OOS students so they will try to maximize these student types first. In-state applicants will still make up 82% or more of the enrolled students but they also have a higher yield rate than International and OOS students based on previous year’s yield rates. Priority goes to IS students but there may be less spots if the yield is high.

The lack of movement is killing me, I wish they’d just let us know now :sob: Their silence is making me think they don’t have lots of spots open :smiling_face_with_tear:

I hope not😭 I’m OOS it’s even lower chance for me to get off the waitlist

If the news about intl applicants getting off the WL is true then I’m guessing IS & OOS kids are gonna hear back soon, best of luck to the both of us :crossed_fingers:
