<p>crazy, no?</p>
<p><em>shifty eyes</em></p>
<p>no one is safe…</p>
<p>4/17! cant wait</p>
<p>Xleper, thanks for the link. That is very unsettling to know. I thought UCB read all statements.</p>
<p>I thought the whole process ran like this:</p>
<p>Above a certain threshold (i.e GPA cutoff, pre-reqs done) = IN
Under a certain threshold (GPA too low, and/or pre-req not done0 = OUT
Borderline (GPA is meh, pre-reqs done or missing 1 or 2 due to overwhelming circumstances) -> 2 evaluators read essay -> both yes, then IN
One yes, one no -> send to 3rd evaluator - >if yes, then IN, if no then OUT
If both no, then OUT</p>
<p>…or am I oversimplifying things here?</p>
<p>blurry, that’s what i thought too.</p>
<p>but now, i’m not sure what to think anymore, lol.</p>
<p>I can understand why you’re feeling so anxious - after looking at that massive 300+ page thread, I also think to myself “boy, I’m going to be rejected as well.”</p>
<p>But I’m going to take a break from this forum for a few days - I have 2 midterms tomorrow and 2 midterms every week until the end of school.</p>
<p>(BTW, for those of you applying as Econ majors, I strongly encourage you all to take econometrics; it’s the most difficult econ class out there (i.e mostly statistics and calculus and very little economic theory), but I think (and been told) that it is THE class that defines the econ major.)</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone here, I’m sure you’ve all worked incredibly hard to get to where you are today. I’ll see you guys on 30th and hopefully we can all celebrate by then.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>Just finished checking out a few pages from that massive 300 page “UC decision dates…” thread.</p>
<p>This before and after comparison really put a smile on my face:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>and after being accepted by Berkeley:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It just makes me feel all warm and satisfied inside…</p>
<ul>
<li>edit for those keeping score (e.g. me)
Me: 2
Berkeley/UCLA fanboys: 0</li>
</ul>
<p>I hope they read those personal statements for students they consider borderline, at least, and not just randomly</p>
<p>I posted earlier that CNR invited me to attend a mixer last weekend. I asked the Assistant Dean how many people they will be accepting this year and she said that they received about 500 applications for roughly 150 spots.</p>
<p>I thought I’d post this information in case there is anyone who applied to Berkeley’s CNR and wanted to know.</p>
<p>whoot!</p>
<p>I get to attend this!</p>
<p>[Schedule</a> - Inauguration of Chancellor Gene D. Block](<a href=“http://www.chancellor.ucla.edu/inauguration/]Schedule”>http://www.chancellor.ucla.edu/inauguration/)</p>
<p>thanks to my dad. =P</p>
<p>oh, but i’ll only go if i get in… haha. awkward if i don’t get in, yet i attend this. lol.</p>
<p>Did anyone else notice that myBerkeleyApplication is being updated??</p>
<p>UCLA & UCB are conspiring together, lol.</p>
<p>Yes</p>
<p>10char</p>
<p>Once upon a time, “mid april” meant in the middle of the month of april…Come on UCD!!</p>
<p>nomorewait, i totally know what you mean.</p>
<p>Mid April isn’t over until next week. duh</p>
<p>Hahah, I’m guessing they’re coming out tomorrow?? Cause Kristin Burns did say there was another batch this week. And since they sent them out last week on Friday… it could be this week Friday? SIGH! I hate this waiting. If I’ve known I was going to wait this long, I should’ve just applied to LA and Berkeley too. -_-'</p>
<p>kwidine: You should’ve applied to both colleges, regardless.</p>
<p>Lackofsense, nah… I worked both years of my community college life so my grades aren’t 4.0 great (it’s actually a lower than 3.5) so I wouldn’t have gotten into UCB or UCLA anyways. I was actually really surprised I got into UCSD, haha. I applied to UCSD thinking I wouldn’t get in anyways, etcetc.</p>
<p>You thought you wouldn’t get in, but you got in. </p>
<p>I dunno. eh</p>
