quark Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 I think this application cycle was the first time Berkeley notified a select number of applicants early even without extending the Regents scholarships invite. In the past, only those shortlisted for Regents were notified in mid Feb while others had to wait till 2nd-4th week of March. https://askmssun.com/home/berkeley-early-notification-freshman/ The Ask Ms Sun Blog is a good place to gather more snippets as is College Confidential (UCB, UCLA). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quark Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 My grapevine has informed me that this year, at least 3 freshman homeschooled applicants were accepted early to UCB and extended the invitation to interview for the Regents' and Chancellor's scholarships. Two are on these boards. :001_wub: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quark Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) This video helps demystify the Berkeley Letter of Recommendation process (with thanks to 8fillstheHeart). DS did not receive a request for LoR. Edited February 11, 2017 by quark 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
