@KeenHeartbreakingRattlesnake: well those stats are one hell of a buffer
17:26
so is Berkeley not releasing decisions this week after all?
FWIW, I think no. The ED has such a right turn around, id anticipate more RD after that, which will be on Dec 9

EquallySneakyDachshund
14:08

It's crazy how much fewer apps Berk got this year. lmao
Berk seems to have gone with the higher gpa for ED it seems
Lawpeanut
18:27
@ForDizzyDJoy: not that crazy honestly, considering the video requirement they are doing
ForDizzyDJoy
15:22
the video requirement and the long statements kind of sealed the deal for them.

@GoofyOptimalWolverine: I could see that, deferred as a splitter and a reverse splitter friend got in
