Hello folks! I am considering applying to UC Berkeley but I'm not sure when I should expect a decision. Does anyone know when UC Berkeley's decision date might be, typically?
UC Berkeley typically sends out freshman admission decisions in late March. Transfer decisions are typically released in late April. Keep in mind that these are tentative timelines I'm talking about, and the exact date can slightly vary from year to year, but they should give you a solid general idea of what to expect.
If you do end up applying to UC Berkeley and want tips on how to maximize your chances of receiving good news, I'd check out this blog post from CollegeVine, which breaks down how to tackle the UC Personal Insight Question essays: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-university-of-california-essays/.

Good luck with your application!
