Well, it's a good thing I wasn't planning on going anyway...

Dear Caitlin,

We have considered your application for admission to the Berkeley campus of the University of California. After careful review, we are sorry that we are unable to offer you admission for the fall semester 2006.

Our transfer decisions were very difficult this year, as competition for fall admission was exceptionally rigorous. We received more than 10,550 applications for only 3,000 admission spaces, and most of these candidates were extremely well qualified. We regret that many talented and promising transfer students will not be included in our entering class because of this high level of selectivity. We have prepared the answers to some frequently asked questions which provide additional information about our selection process and, we hope, address many of your concerns.

We would like to thank you for your interest in the University of California, Berkeley and wish you every success in achieving your educational goals.

Sincerely,
WR sign

Walter A. Robinson
Director
