Berkeley seems to be having some quick turnarounds if they know they want you.

3.61/173, 1 year WE in Bay Area, 2 page PS, and wrote a 350 (meh). Ready to submit tomorrow (i know, late)

Berkeley is probably my top choice school, but would really like to have some scholarships to reduce costs (if I can get in)


Apply to UVA/Mich for negotiation? What about Duke/NU. So far only have HSC in for apps (long shots)


Realize that I might have to apply in September next year... :(

anyone? worth an app even if i might want to attend in 2018?

^if it's your top choice then go for it.
And yeah VMD would probably work for negotiation if you snagged B.

E:I mean no. No chance at all. Don't bother with any of the schools Rigo applied to.

Rigo, do you know anything about deferrals and scholarships? Say I get admitted to B with some scholarship offer... would I have a chance to defer admission AND the scholarship? Or be able to ask for a scholarship offer if I defer an admission without a scholarship offer?


Thank you

Anyone know if any of last year's FR applicants got a decision sooner than the date given? I'm hoping "on or around 2/3" does not mean we may find out even later than that date /:
I think the first batch found out on the exact date as projected and the second batch of FR found out a day early.

I guess that's better than hearing after 2/3 lol. Thanks!
