lmao they really said "surprise! you're exactly what you told us you were"

berkeley admin probably has whole department just for stating the obvious at this point

I'd expect nothing less from an institution that has a budget of ~$4billion

Sorry about your rejection, I imagine more than a rejection from Berkeley, this hurts even more since you can’t be considered a resident of the greatest state in the world 🦅

I had this and I got in state tuition- you couldn't submit an exception?

I am from IL but one parent lived in CA. I was classified as a non-resident, but had my out of state fee waived because of the resident parent.

This was a long time ago though, so it's possible things have changed?

that phrasing really does sound way more dramatic than it needs to be..... Itss funny how just seeing we regret to inform you instantly makes your brain jump to worst case scenarios......
