Long time Californian here. Call it Cal. No one says UCB.

DCPS kid applied at the deadline in December.

There is no early application but Berkeley notifies their top choices early.

My son got an email stating that some people were offered admission early but that his application was still under consideration and he would receive a decision on March 28.

Congratulations! Did your child apply very early?

Also this- DC can go in early March for scholarship interviews…
… a small number of students will receive notification of their decision in February. Most of these students will be nominees for Regents’ and Chancellor’s Scholarships, a process that has traditionally been initiated during this time of year … majority of first-year applicants still will receive their decisions at the end of March, via the MAP@Berkeley portal.

In the future, students can expect regular Berkeley decisions to come out at the end of March."

I assure you, it’s not BS. Read a bit more before you lash out. Some admissions were released at UCB yesterday.

Yes, got it yesterday. Total surprise.

Not going to get specific, but one of the Irvine high schools.

California HS???

Wow, that’s really extraordinary - I thought that only 2% of those accepted are accepted in the early cycle. Sounds like your school will have a lot of Bears this admissions cycle!

6 got the emeails from our high school.

Anyone get in yesterday?
