UC Berkeley Spring Admit 2016

bump. Has anyone asked for an explanation on why they were deferred for Spring?

I’m (of course) eternally grateful to have been accepted, but I definitely feel slighted to have been chosen for spring. It’s extremely frustrating to have to wait 7, almost 8 months before actually being a student there and it puts us at a huge disadvantage both academically and socially. I grin everyday over my acceptance but then later on I’ll shake my head and think to myself “8 f(rea)king months!?!?” :-w
