How the class gets assembled.
No Early Decision reported
This school does not report an Early Decision lane, so the flow collapses to the school-reported applicant, admit, and enrolled totals.
Each column is scaled within that stage. Labels show exact counts.

In addition, does your institution use applicants' test scores for academic advising?Y
Latest date by which SAT or ACT scores must be received for fall-term admission2025-07-15 00:00:00
If necessary, use this space to clarify your test policies (e.g., if tests are recommended for some students, or if tests are not required of some students due to differences by academic program, student academic background, or if other examinations may be considered in lieu of the SAT and ACT):UC Berkeley is test-free, which means we will not use SAT/ACT test scores in any part of our application process.
Berkeley has always used, and will continue to use, holistic review, which means there is no one sole factor on the application that will determine a student’s admission status. SAT/ACT test scores were not the only academic indicators available on the application to assess students. Other academic indicators will continue to be assessed in the review process, including grades, the rigor of a student's courses, other non-required tests (SAT subject test, AP tests, IB test, etc.), and a student’s individual academic context.
While SAT/ACT scores will not be used in the admissions process, any scores submitted to Berkeley will be used for placement or subject credit purposes should the student be admitted to Berkeley.
Please indicate which tests your institution uses for placement (e.g., state tests):Response 'x'
