i've heard that singing the cardigans to the admissions office can get you off a waitlist

I haven't been wait-listed yet… but I'll do it.

They say they will admit bulk of their folks in Jan and Feb. They also said most people haven't been denied or waitlisted yet. I surmise it will come after March 2nd which is that financial aid deadline they gave us all in the email.

Wait, what is this about March 2?

Ok. This was separate from the acceptance email?

It was a pretty troll move on Berkeley's part

I appreciated their bolding of "all applicants" to make sure that no one got false hope from their troll move.

Has anyone been accepted with only one LoR? I am a late applicant waiting on one. I already have a really strong letter, but am worried about having to wait longer to submit my app. Suggestions?

Magical Trevor · Post by **Magical Trevor** » Wed Jan 08, 2014 11:35 pm

Submitting with no letters of recommendation would be something of a gigantic red flag, I'd bet.

I would submit. For what it's worth, I was admitted earlier this cycle with only one professor LoR. My second professor didn't get his letter in until after I was accepted...

Wait... I remember this trolling, and commenting on it. I then just completely forgot. I don't know what's going on with my brain.
