Wait List Acceptance Rate

The University of California, Berkeley has maintained a consistent wait list acceptance rate of 1.0% across several application years, including 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, with 4,400 applicants offered a place on the wait list each year and 44 ultimately accepted. This stability over the past five years indicates a predictable wait list process, where candidates face low odds of admission regardless of the year. Applicants should be aware of these trends, as the lack of variability suggests limited movement in wait list admissions.
