Hey there, just a quick question: Does UC Berkeley use a rolling admissions process? I couldn't find a clear answer on their website. Does anyone here know? Thanks!
No, UC Berkeley does not use a rolling admissions process. Instead, they have a fixed application deadline. For freshmen applicants, the application period for fall admission is typically between November 1st and November 30th. After the application deadline, UC Berkeley reviews all applicants together and releases decisions usually around late March.
It's a good idea to submit your application early within the application window to ensure all materials are processed in time. However, submitting your application earlier will not give you an advantage in the admissions process, as all applications are reviewed together after the deadline.
